yeah well... if and when it comes, I'll be happy. Doesn't come after all, I'll be disappointed and move on.

I'll not deny that I've been checking the 'software update' in the device settings every single day (sometimes twice) ;) and I'm probably not the only one.

I'm waiting for it too. I've just bought 12 Wileyfox Swift 2 X for €55 a piece. New phones at work.

Currently I flashed VioerOS 7.1.2 because this Rom is really smooth and customizable.

I had a fb message from someone after trying to post on the fb page. Should have screenshot it but it seemed too dodgy to keep.

Anyway it basically said that it's in its final stages. Hate th pally pally way they message.

STK have a new phone which was supposed to be shipping in April and now its June. Nothing about the new setup is giving me any confidence.

At least the windows phone is out. Talk about one step forward and 8 step back.

No idea why I'm moaning so much. I should just sell up and go nokia or moto

You should ask support i think
[Wileyfox Swift 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] wunderousone:
I would if I could but there is no way on their website to contact them, no form links or chat buttons to contact them on. It states there is a form to fill out but no sign of it, it also states their is a chat button bottom right but there is not.

Any other ideas on how to contact them?

Update - I joined their site and recieved a contact email from them which I have written to, if I get a reply regarding my build number etc I will update you asap.

Thanks again

Hi, Its a Swift 2 plus.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ryotgz:
I have the unlocked U1 model and cannot figure out how to get the unread email count on the application icon. I'm able to get the new email notification count, but it goes away after opening the email app. On my S7 the unread count on the shortcut would stay until the emails were marked as read. I found a thread on the samsung forum with a similar issue, but haven't seen a fix for it.

I briefly flashed the Verizon firmware on my phone for testing some other items and from what I could tell the unread count worked properly. I'm thinking this could be limited to the unlocked model, but wanted to see if anyone else has seen this behavior.
[Galaxy Tab 8.9 General] droiduzr2:
I hope someone has the files they can share since most of threads have broken links.

I have a i957D 8.9 LTE...helping a friend fix his unit. They accidentally flashed the ROM for the P7xxx.

I need the pit files or at least recovery or boot loader files. Anything you have. Full Stock ROM would be nice also.

I found a stock ROM for the i957D Telus model - not sure why the ATT rom can't work...same device.

Please let me know if you can help.

The tablet will show up in Odin and it also shows up in Windows 10 as Qualcom Device meaning it is possibly to flash it.

I am waiting for the power to run out so I can get back to download mode when you plug it in. Right now I can't see anything on the screen.

When I run Odin and try to flash it stops at setting up connection...nothing happens even 15 minutes later.

Not interested in Jtag service as the cost is more than this old tablet.

Please let me know if you can help with the files or the process to unbrick it.

Thanks!:highfive:

Hi all,

I've been using the awesome LineageOS and its predecessor for many years and on many devices. I can't imagine using a device without it.

I recently stumbled upon a yet unsupported Mediatek based device. I would really like to sponsor a dev to port LineageOS to this device for two reasons:

To (selfishly) use LineageOS on it

To contribute to the community after benefiting from it for many years

What would be a good starting point to find a developer that could offer this service as job (beside posting it here)?

If you are interested in this job pls PM me (preferably with your Github profile).

Thanks for your help!

[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] shadowreader:
I'm torn on what to do now. Initially I did the Sprint upgrade to the new rom and then flashed DCD 3.0 kitchen. was having lots of stability issues and slow data speeds(half of what I had with 3.27 radio). To isolate the problem I went back to the new stock Sprint rom. More stable now but slow data speeds on average again of half what I had before. Before with 1 bar I got 700k ish down now I get about 350. Anybody been able to solve this? faster gps lock is nice(suspect it's now using cell tower in combination more efficiently since I get even initial lock deep inside buildings) but don't think that will offset slower data speeds. Think it is same PRL too. 60711 I think. thanks for any help on this.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] proxcee:
Did you turn on rev A.? I think sprint forgot that one little detail. I know some...myself included...had to do it manually.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] shadowreader:
how did you do it manually? I have my msl and everything just don't know where that setting is. thx.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] proxcee:
I JUST read another thread over at pdaphone home that said on PPCGeeks they recommend that you leave the rev A setting as "Disable"...since its supposed to already be on. People have reported big jumps in speed when it is set to Disable.

To check: ##778# > if you dont have your MSL then just view it > select data parameters...I think.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] shadowreader:
tried it both enabled and disabled after soft reset. not much difference. still about half of what I used to get. may go back to 2.3.2 and 3.27 radio as I didn't have many problems with that other than slow gps lock. Would be great to have best of both worlds though :)
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] ScottC:
The one thing that helped me most was changing my DNS to OpenDNS.

Also; Speedtest sites seem to be TOO FAST for the browser to handle the data, so to do a reliable test try tethering the phone or use wmwifirouter. In my case my phone usually says it's getting around 350, but when I tether it actually turns out to be between 1000 and 1800.

FWIW; I use the dsl reports speed test to check the speed.

You could of course also make yourself a nice 10Mb file and test the speed manually.

Changing the Rev.A setting does NOT make a difference, if anything it makes it slower. Leave it as it is.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] shadowreader:
I am on Sprint. I am using wmwifirouter v.91 and using speakeasy's speedtest which consistently used to give me 800-2000K(sometimes over 2meg), With new radio struggling to reach 500K. By opendns do you mean 4.2.2.2? haven't tried that. suspect it would make a difference for latency/lookup speed but not so much for data throughput right?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geckotek:
To compare, we should all use the same test and browser. So use PIE for real world results (Opera uses a proxy) and I've found the www.mobilespeedtest.com has a better test than DSLReports.

Anybody have an even better alternative besides tethering?
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geckotek:
4.2.2.2 is a Verizon DNS server. OpenDNS is different. See opendns.com
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Foetus:
I have to disagree about the accuracy of each site... I have a full T1 at my disposal, and mobilespeedtest.com churned out the following:

Your current bandwidth reading is:

645.00kbps

www.dslreports.com/mspeed, however, returned:

1358 kbit/sec

I would go with dslreports. ymmv
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geckotek:
DSL reports only tests 1 file size at a time and the smaller files always fail. We need to find a better option.

Edit: I've got a 6MB connection, DSL reports first said it was 1.9MB but then failed on 3 subsequent tries (too fast).

Mobilespeedtest gave me 277.40kbps first try 749.30kbps second.

So you're right.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Foetus:
Personally, I tether my laptop to my phone and use www.speedtest.net
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Geckotek:
To many factors added into that mix to affect the test. I want a speedtest directly from the phone.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] proxcee:
I second that.

I tried mobilespeedtest.com yesterday while connected to a 6meg line...speed was rediculously low didnt break 500k. Tried speakeasy.net...I got 5.9 meg.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] shadowreader:
Just got 225kbps on dslreports 1meg file and 559kbps on mobilespeedtest with 3.35 radio and stock new Sprint rom on sprint network in rev A area 2 bars(not that great of signal but used to get double this speed at same location with 3.27 Radio)

Are these the stock notification sounds, or ones you've added? If you added them, are they on internal memory, or the SD card? I've had problems on other phones with the sound files were on the SD card. They'd work properly for a while, then the systems would seem to lose them.

hey guyz

it sounds silly to have a such problem for this flagship but for me as a new samsung user, I faced this problem after using a protection glass for this curved screen. the problem was after using this protection,touch response became too weak! that seriously made me regret about buying this crap!asked some owners about this problem and they said this problem is for curved screen and you have to used to it or buy expensive glass. searched accessories section in this forum and most of people discussed about proper screen protection. well just found 1 interesting post that someone mentioned this path

"setting---> advance feature ---> touch sensitivity " just enable it.

well problem solved. it sound so stupid but you better know this if you are new like me!

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] nugzo:
There is not a tempered glass screen protector that can out perform this one. It's high, but it is absolutely the best TGSP ever made for a curved phone. It even feels better that the stock glass. Absolutely amazing. had it on my s7 edge, s8+ and now my s9+. If you're spending money on any other TGSP, might as well just throw your money in the garbage. I dont work for them and i get noting free from them. I do own a computer/phone repair shop and have used every name brand, and most non named brand TGSP made. This works with 95% of cases, wont lift, Its a bit more involved installing, but it;s amazing.

Here is the APK for the Verizon Visual Voicemail application for the SM-G965U1 and SM-G960U1.

This was automatically downloaded on my unlocked S9+ by the Galaxy App store. This application does not show up in the search results in the Galaxy app store. It downloaded to my device overnight and I could not find a way to manually trigger the install. This was discovered by [MENTION=2669648]Averix[/MENTION] in this post: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=75907191&postcount=11

Will the voicemail be transcribed in this voicemail app. I just got an unlocked s9, always had iPhones in the past. In the iPhone Visual Voicemail, the Voicemails were transcribed so you could read them. Also is this an actual Verizon APK or a Samsung APK?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ryotgz:
I only have the basic visual voicemail from Verizon. I don't know if you pay for the premium version if it would transcribe.

It doesn't say it's made by Samsung or Verizon, but it looks like the Verizon app that was on my Verizon branded S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bonniebateman:
Solution...

This may be more detailed than you guys need, but if you can find the app in GALAXY apps and use Lightflow, you're there. I don't know how the Voicemail works standalone, but I wanted the LED indicator and the sound of my choice. Voila ! This was all done on my Galaxy s9.

This app is available through GALAXY APPS, not Samsung Apps. I got it to work, without rooting, using Lightflow as follows:

Open Lightflow

Choose Notification Settings

Choose red "+" plus sign at the bottom right

Choose "From System event, battery, gps, etc.

From "Select system notifications to add", roll down to Voice Mail, check the box, choose "Add"

This will add Voicemail to your Lightflow notifications list, and then you have to pick your settings for it.

On Lightflow's Notification page, find dark blue "Voicemail" and open the "three dots" to the right, choose "settings"

The setting menu is a "slide to the right" type menu. I used "light" , enable light, choose a color, etc. I chose dark blue to match the icon.

So now, I have a dark blue "Voicemail" icon in my apps, and Lightflow makes it chime the sound I chose and lights up the LED at the top of the S9, in dark blue, and it blinks, so I know a voicemail is there. It also shows up on the notification panel.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] natecglenn:
You do need to pay for the premium to have it transcribed

https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/voice-mail-comparison/
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ryotgz:
I'm still unable to locate the app in there.

That is correct. I just don't know if this version of the app will transcribe them if you pay for the service.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bonniebateman:
I have Verizon BASIC VISUAL VOICEMAIL, which is included in my plan and the Galaxy Visual Voicemail works just fine on my unlocked S9+. Check your Verizon plan, you may not have to pay extra. ( It's worth it to say that Verizon Basic Voicemail is NOT the same as Verizon Basic Visual Voicemail). Here's a link to the Verizon voicemail comparison chart.

https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/voice-mail-comparison/

I promised the link which is a description and which then leads you to the APK, if you're into that. I didn't do it that way, because the icon downloaded for me from Galaxy Apps when I clicked it. This apk came from the XDA website, here's a link to the post.

UPDATE:

I'm not certain, but I think

that the blue icon for Samsung Visual Voicemail may only be present in the most recent update pack. I have that because I just got my unlocked phone and ran updates immediately.

I performed the update just now, and the visual voicemail app was ready for download in the Galaxy Apps menu. Just finished testing it, and it works fine after auto-setting up. Just your basic visual voicemail, no transcribing of course.

Re: Verizon Visual Voice Mail.

Sorry but this app doesn't support Visual Voicemail for Unlocked Samsung S9+ on the Verizon Network. It merely gives you an indicator that you have new voicemail but have to still dial in to hear the message.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] bonniebateman:
Poinmanipo, it DOES work on an unlocked s9+ using Verizon. I'm doing it, it's working.

I'm not sure what difference it makes if its prepaid or postpaid. Different features on the plan? In any case, I'm using prepaid Verizon with an unlocked S9. But the automatic down load of the blue VVM apk comes from either a Samsung OS update or Android, not Verizon.

Correction: I have Verizon POSTpaid. Sorry.
