[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] CuBz90:
But whilst the background is black, the button symbols themselves are white/grey making them pixels lit. If those pixels are lit all the time whilst the pixels around it are off, it's more likely to burn into the screen as those pixels are being used more.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Ramer:
True, but isn't every phone like that?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] CuBz90:
All phones with oled screens yes.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] d_ave:
Not working for me, still all my colors are the stock Samsung ones and nothing closely resembling black:)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] zathus:
I read somewhere, I really can't seem to find the article that Samsung did this on purpose. To help prevent burning And to keep screen degradation uniform. I assume it's because the black bar is essentially no pixels meaning they're not on. Meaning they're not being used as much as the rest of the phone's display thus they will degrade slower and eventually give the appearance of burn in. Makes sense to me I guess

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Rachter:
Do I need to have the phone rooted in order to do the adb shell commands? If so, can I do it without having the phone rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] KryptonKal-El:
Found this from the galaxy s8 forum (forgot the link), it's working fine for me. Just install, reboot phone then go into the navigation bar settings to change the color. I think it may show up as a white or cream color circle but when selected it will be the black nav bar.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Jonathan-H:
Black bar will cause the issue seen on the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL. With the pixels off, the bar will degrade slower causing a burn in like effect.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] KryptonKal-El:
You are absolutely correct, that will happen eventually if we continue to use the black nav bar. I personally don't care for screen burn ins as I'm used to them on every phone I had since galaxy s3 days and also planning to upgrade my phone by the end of the year via my "upgrade program".
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] btmusicman313:
Tried it and it doesn't work
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] KryptonKal-El:
Now it doesn't work for me anymore...lol. I just toggled the color to white and now I can't switch back to the black nav bar. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the apk and same results upon reboot the option is no longer there for some reason........weird. Probably a block from Google or Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] KryptonKal-El:
Ok so I got back the black nav bar here's how: this is even weirder

I'm currently using stock UI theme. I was using swift black substratum theme before but decided to uninstall all the overlays because some overlays weren't applying (just waiting for dev to update app).

I uninstalled the black nav bar app, rebooted phone, reinstalled the swift black substratum theme (all overlays) and rebooted phone.

I reinstalled the black nav bar apk and rebooted phone, went back into the nav bar settings and tapped on the black circle to reapply the black nav bar. (see attachment)

I rebooted phone again just to make sure it stuck which it did, I then uninstalled all overlays from swift black theme and reverted back to stock UI.

I rebooted the phone one last time and the black nav bar remains. (see attachment)

So it only appears when you have a black theme applied? If anyone knows why that happens I'll appreciate an explanation.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mackentosh:

Check out the new NavStar feature in GoodLock

Edit, the app does not have the functionality I originally thought. It cannot make your nav bar black or transparent, it can only customize the buttons.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] vonDubenshire:
Anyone know why:

A) I can't install the APK on Page 1. and

B) Why does it always reset when I reboot? I've tried all the ADB commands. Works fine until restart then I lose the setting.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] crazy_dr0id:
Nova launcher allows you to change nav bar to black at least on home screen under Look & Feel options. View attachment 4742801
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] vonDubenshire:
Yes, I know, but I do not care for a color on the home screen. Additionally, I use Lawnchair Launcher v2 alpha because I don't like Nova anymore. Very dated.

I was able to solve my issue - it was either the Game Tuner / Game Mode initiating on my Samsung device, or it was the "NavStar" app addition to Goodlock even though it was disabled.

I uninstalled all and now my black setting keeps on reboot.

Hello everyone, I am trying to port MIUI v9 based on marshmallow to Lenovo ZUK Z1 from Xiaomi Mi4's latest stable build. :D:o PM me for any queries.

The guides I used is: https://xdaforums.com/android/software/guide-build-port-miui-rom-to-device-t3250984

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Rjwqov569Q

It is stuck at boot animation, tried with different bootimg's from our mi4's miui 9 Galaxy S5 miui9 as port rom's Boot.img and cm13 and our own miui8 as the base.

Any ideas, where I might be wrong:confused:, are needed. I tried to contacted [MENTION=219108]heaven[/MENTION]ke and [MENTION=2619223]mindvision[/MENTION], but they aren't responding.

This build is stuck at Zuk logo, I attached a new boot img below, which goes halfway through boot animation.

Build 2 :

Nope, it is not booting up.

So do not download and waste your time.
[Zuk Z1 General] Tisenoiazei100:
Does the Zuk Z1 have a IR sensor? If you dont kick its HAL out, itll continiously look for it and bootloop. Even if it has kick it anyways.

Have you checked the logcats you capped?

I've done a Mi4 port which stuck into bootanimation but on a MSM8226 device, not MSM8974AC. Only the Redmi 1S booted on me but its HAL wasnt the generic one in order to continue.

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Vycor:
Okay so I got my 6800 from verizon today and went to do some updates. The first thing I did was insatlled the Hard-SPL to 2.40-olipro thing. That installed fine. I had a problem where if my phones screen turned off, the device froze.

So I updated to the ROM and RADIO I got here (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=371314)

Well the updates went in fine, the phone seemed to work. I had to enter my info from that SPT thing, so I did that.

Well when I call my phone, it rings then stops, then rings, then stops. It things im missing the call.

And im UNABLE to make calls, big problem. It keeps giving me this verizon woman saying we're unable to authenticate your phone.

Any help is appreciated, what can I do???

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] etexter:
Use Search

Call Verizon and tell them you hard reset your phone and you need your Authorization Key.

You can search for Authorization key and you'll get many, many hits..
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Vycor:
Authorization key goes in that ##778 area under AKEY???

I didnt see one listed when i copied my info... perhaps its just hidden?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] etexter:
You can't copy it down as it's never listed. You can't reuse the one VZW gives you either. If you get that message, the only option is to call VZW and ask them to generate a new one. I've done it a few times. They won't hassle you about it.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gbenj:
seconded...same thing happened to me the day i got my xv6800 and had a few issues with the upgrade, nothing that a little patience didnt fix...i undersatnd the jitters of thinking u just permanently screwed up the brand new phone, but once i called verizon, wasnt a problem
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Vycor:
WOOHOO its not a brick. Thanks guys. I called and some gentlemen helped me. I played dumb and said i dont know much bout technology and my friend told me to call... he gave me the key after about 5 minutes on hold. Im storing that key in a safe, lol.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] gbenj:
i havent tried it, but from what ive read, that a-key wont work again if theres a next time. ud need to call and have them generate another one for you.

Can i upgrade my MTCD_GS_v2.58_3 to the MTCE_GSv2.78? What is the difference between MTCD and MTCE?

Also what is the difference in the Under score last number? i see some are V2.58 and then there is V2.58_3.

[Huawei Y6 Questions & Answers] mad-murdock:
Due to a chain of events, I have a phone that neither boots any recovery, nor the base system.

- Battery is empty by now

- Not able to access fastboot

- Dload restore does not start and probably could not finish before device looses battery

- Probably would be same for fastboot even if i could access it

I have no other of these phones. Even if I could remove the battery I would not know how to charge it. I guess by now, I know how to restore the phone.

Did I really brick it by not factory resetting fast enough before battery reached critical levels?
[Huawei Y6 Questions & Answers] WildKnocker:
Try to get a direct battery charger , it bypasses your phone and charges the battery directly ( hence the name ) shouldn't be too expensive and should be able to get you some charge , though , it is not a good charger to use permanently as it takes more than normal and requires the removal of the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] lorenzo.themax92:
Hi all.

I buy the Galaxy S9 Plus, received two days ago.

Currently i have the January Firmware, no update here in Italy, that seems unstable right now.

Compared to my Oneplus 5t, sorry to say, but it is a bit laggier.

In those days, 2 times / 10 some application (Google maps - Twitter) have crashes or made the phone unusable (i have to force close Google maps three times yesterday).

Also, the battery is draining really fast, battery today drops with a medium usage to 10% after 2h of screen.

Hoping that the situation will be better with the new firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] MaZaGnGy:
2 days for testing battery life not enough the device still learning how u use it

for crashing and unstable for sure updates will solve that
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] CuBz90:
The device isn't even officially released yet. Give them time to release the update that we already know is being released (already has been in Germany).

Allow more time for battery. A new phone has to learn your usage patterns before the battery is properly optimised.

If you're getting a lot of app crashes there's something wrong. Try a factory reset. If that doesn't work, return it as its faulty.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] qwsdert4:
battery indeed drain very fast. I own a regular UK dual sim s9. compared to S8 which I previously own, sot is up to 1.5 hours shorter. basic operation heats up phone fast too.

I have none of such problems. No crashes so far. Battery life is great. Maybe faulty unit?

Something wrong with your apps/configuration. Android system can't be the top drainer....

---------- Post added at 09:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 AM ----------

I can tell you one thing when users report 5-7hrs sot and you just get 2, you can't blame the phone something is wrong with the apps you have or with some syncing issue
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] lorenzo.themax92:
I will post in those days, some screenshot about my battery usage, so you can understand.

However, i will reset the phone tonight, so we can check if it's something wrong with my apps.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rapier:
It is the usage pattern that counts as well as the apps, theme and so on. Some might not use Facebook for ex that is known to heavily drain battery. Others might have dark/black themes that helps, or medium batery saving mode...there are hundreds of scenarios. One user that has his phone set on FHD+ resolution wil have the battery lasts longer than one that has it at WQHD. Some might have smartwatches and devices that require permanent BT on or high location settings. All these consume battery so just saying mine has that much SOT or it lasts that much time, means nothing.

For ex, in the print screens above mix197 had 13 hrs of standby with 2 hrs SOT...2 hrs of doing what? Cause there is no voice call (and he has VoLTE active that sucks battery), no navigation, no nothing. Read the Bible for 9 mins and browsed the internet for 20...and having 13 hrs of IDLE. That's a graphic showing night usage...probably lasted like this since he was sleeping and the phone too.

What I want to say is that don't bother to compare your new devices with others....eventualy compare it with your old devices since those had the same apps and usage pattern (mostly). And read how to improve on battery: use a dark theme, disable un-needed packages/bloatware...including but not limited to Gear VR, Gear S, Facebook, Bixby if you don;t use, ANT+ and so on...deactivate BT, or set the mobile data to turn off when on WiFi (is in dev settings as I recall and it's on by default to switch quicker from wifi to mobile data). All these will help you get some more battery
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
The only reason people try to compare is to know if theres a problem with their device. For the s9+ it is the case as some are reporting 6-7Hrs sot while others are reporting 2-3hrs
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] Rapier:
I still believe that usage pattern and applications makes the difference. Such comparison should reflect something if same person was doing the tests. As this is not the case, results may vary by a large margin as I said. Besides that, the difference in hardware might be the binning (as it was the case with Note 8 or S8/S8+ devices). Could be that devices with higher SOT have higher values for nAsv too so that would mean they're much more power efficient and have higher performance too.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] skivnit:
That's why i started a thread called chip bin and benchmarks
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Guides, News, & Discussion] lorenzo.themax92:
Ok, i think that maybe there are some serious problem.

I also have the oneplus 5t and had an upgrade to the S9

I have to agree the experience so far has been disappointing compared to the 5t.

Fingerprint sensor constantly does not recognise and also the face unlock/intelligent unlock is deadful compared to the 5t. It's really running the experience so far. I've had the latest update but still not great.

Have to be honest but so far the 5t walks all over the S9 in the performance stakes day to day and is much smoother. The only thing the Samsung has going for it for me is the smaller form factor and camera.

Hi !

I bought a used G8231 that was sold as defective, "Microphone not working".

That was no problem as i just wanted to play with the 960 FPS Video function for sports.

BUT when i received it also video shooting did not work as it complains about another device using resources. As still photos work fine i guess it complains about not beeing able to use the microphone.

Further diagnostics show that also the speakers do not work, all else seems okay.

The phone is useless for me like this as i solely wanted to paly with the 960 FPS video.

Is this a known Hardware or Software defect ?

Do you have any idea how to at least get video recording going ?

Thanks for help !
