mmh ... that's what happened on the video (the first video of the released version) .. it stayed about a minute on the flash screen and then he cuts the video .... not showing origami !

what do you think of origami 2.0 ? I'm following this project the closest I can from about 2 years and I'm really excited to buy the shift and try it !
[Shift General] michael85:
To be honest, I don't like it. It's really slow with everything.

I even installed Winamp (full version).

Winamp is much faster and works perfect on the Shift.

But the Origami is really slow so that's why I don't use it :)

I bought a firetv box 2nd gen from ebay cheap to see if I could use recovery to factory reset it. It is @ firmware 5.2.1.1. My problem is it has a pin set on it, so I can't just do a factory reset from settings. I have been trying to use the keyboard method alt+prtscreen+i with no luck it just boots to home screen. Can anyone give me any ideas how to solve my dilemma? Is there a way to bypass the pin?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] metal450:
I'm a T-Mobile user & have been holding out on an upgrade for the S9, but am seeing some really concerning chatter about its performance, battery life, & T-Mobile signal quality, and am now wondering if I should just go with an S8. Snapdragon is a non-option for me (having *proper* backup - aka Titanium - is IMO a bare essential). Thus I'm only comparing Exynos S8 to Exynos S9.

1) The Anandtech review everyone's been talking about shows the Exynos S9's battery life / performance as even worse than last year's Exynos S8. I realize these are synthetic tests, but so far they're the best direct comparison I've got, & I would assume they'd be at least somewhat representative of real-world behavior (though they may i.e. inflate the difference). And *if* these results are indeed representative of what to expect, it feels a bit silly to pay more for a newer phone that's a downgrade in battery life. I've read through a number of threads & seen a pile of individual numbers, but if anyone has some specific experience with a 1:1 Exynos S8 to Exynos S9 comparison, it could be very enlightening. Most of the comparisons I've found on here seem to be Snapdragon vs Exynos.

2) I've also seen some threads that say Exynos S9 is getting really bad speed on T-Mobile (i.e. here). The same user later said in another thread (here) that they were somehow able to get it working better, but that it still has noticeably worse signal than Snapdragon S9. Again, I'd be interested to know if Exynos S8 vs Exynos S9 show similar behavior.

3) Finally, as I live in a weak signal area, T-Mobile WiFi calling is essential. From what I understand it isn't yet possible on Exynos S9, but based on past trends it's pretty safe to assume that at some point someone will figure out how to enable it. It looks like it's currently working on Exynos S8 (reference). Is this accurate?

For the sake of longevity & the centered fingerprint reader I'd obviously prefer the S9...but not *if* it comes at the cost of worse battery, worse T-Mobile signal, & no T-Mobile WiFi calling. The *IF* is what I'd really like to try & determine before pulling the trigger on one or the other :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] BigE:
Off topic- since 2007 I have been flashing and modding my phone's, as they were not even near performance I could get out of. I had the S7 Exynos , than went with S8 and now S9 Snapdeagon. As much as I miss the flashing , the over all performance, the fact it works great out of box, no crap installed by TMO, and Sammi actually doing a decent job, MAYBE it is not a big thing getting the TMO phone.. I'm not sorry I did, and I am a flashoholic..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] metal450:
I'd actually really love to go that route too - but until Android offers a proper "complete" backup, I just don't see how a non-rootable phone is an option. I switched from iPhone not too long ago, bought my first Android phone which had a locked bootloader, & was absolutely baffled by the inability to do a complete device backup. "Complete" as in including all the data of every app, full OS customization, etc - to the point where you can just restore to a new phone & have it completely 100% setup where you left off. I'm not at all a fan of iPhone, but full device backup is something it's offered since...forever...and apparently on Android, the only way to get this is through Titanium. So after spending a few days trying every non-root backup solution I could find, I eventually gave in & returned the phone to be replaced with one that could be rooted.

Beyond full backup, I really don't have interest in flashing/customizing/etc. But until that's resolved natively, it's unfortuately rootable-only for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] BigE:
Well, while a valid point, I have restored only once in 3 years.. and it was not perfect , yet was not a complete disaster. It took less than 40 minutes . I didn't need to restore once on the TMO phones, simply because I did not flash and made my phone unstable. Yes, I know what you mean regarding iPhones. I have 2 more lines and they are used by apple fans in the house. Yet again- iPhone 8 is a bit different than the 6 or 7 were .. things change , and actually improve. If in 2007 I had to actually wtite code (use kitchen) , mod and flash, now days I don't see a need. Did I get old? Maybe, and again, I don't answer your fundamental question , but you may get an unlocked S9 (Snapdragon), root it in few months when available, and enjoy root and TMO CSC.. I can tell you , if I have to choose between battery life and backup, then battery life it is.. I can live with partial backup, I can't with lousy battery life. But- this is me and it may not be good enough for you. Just a different point of view of an old guy..
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] metal450:
The issue isn't about needing to restore because it's unstable - it's about having a backup of your personal data. Stable or not, phones can get lost/stolen, and will eventually be replaced regardless. Samsung's SmartSync "solution" backs up no app data whatsoever, and other 3rd party non-root backup apps like Helium are spotty at best (for instance, they don't backup any chat history from WhatsApp, Viber, or Line). Currently, my message history in every app I use goes back to the start of when I got my first ever iPhone, many many years ago. Switching to non-root Android would mean nuking it every time I get a new phone. While it truly baffles me that there's no proper/official Android solution & that so many people seem fine with this, in my case, I feel like Titanium is the one & only option (for being able to use Android without risking large chunks of my personal data).

Actually, the previous/first non-rootable Android I mentioned getting was a Snapdragon S7. It technically *was* rootable, but its method of rooting broke the ability to use Secure Startup, in addition to introducing noticeable issues with lag & battery drain. That's why I returned it. It seems like you're suggesting I wait until S9 Snapdragon is rootable as a solution for having root w/ stability+battery life...but my very reason for looking at Exynos in the first place is because the last time I tried rooting a Snapdragon it had pretty bad stability/battery life, & I was pointed in the direction of Exynos.

I was under the impression that an Exynos, due to being unlocked, should be *the* solution for rootable without negatively affecting its battery life...not the other way around. :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] KeepItzRoot:
I have an S8 exynos, I do not have wifi calling. the S8 is a great phone and I do not feel like I'm missing out by going to S9, however if there is a really good deal I would jump ship. The only thing I dont have on my S8 right now is the 960fps camera, otherwise dual stereo speaker and everything else is the same, speed is getting irrelevant up here, I felt the S7 edge was pretty damn fast too, but I gave my family both of those and bought an S8.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
I have both Snapdragon and Exynos S9(plus versions). Exynos does not bottom out on T-mobile LTE like S8 Exynos did. I am not a dev but extracted WiFi calling related files from Snapdragon and tried changing the CSC to TMB and got VoLTE to work on Tmobile but I keep getting "com.android.phone has stopped working". I am either missing a setting or it is due to the new /omc partition Samsung introduced for CSCs.

Hopefully Tkkg1994 or someone takes interest into this to get this working. Another huge issue with Exynos is you cannot record any calls with call recording apps due to Samsung removing that feature. I haven't seen any rooted apps that enable call recording on Exynos yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] metal450:
You mean you tried but were unable to get it working? Or you just didn't feel like you needed it, so couldn't offer input one way or the other (about its availability on S8)?

Right, but in my case I have neither, & am just trying to determine which would be best to go with. If there's no deterioration in performance/battery as the Anandtech article would indicate, I'd obviously prefer the S9 for longer longevity & the other improvements. But if it's actually worse...then...well, that's what I'm trying to figure out.

What do you mean by 'bottom out'?

Oh crap, that is a serious issue. Ugh, wtf. So you mean it's there in the Snapdragon but for some reason they killed it in the Exynos? Is this true of the S8 too, or just the S9?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
I meant to say the Exynos S8 has carrier aggregation issues with t-mobile and you'd get less LTE speed than snapdragon. My S9 Exynos runs a lot better on t-mobile LTE.

Yeah Samsung want to be the policing nanny that dictates how one should use their phone. They're going to push the new update to all of their phones including S8 to disable the use of recording apps. I can't believe they want to impose this on everyone despite call recording being legal in many places. For now it works with snapdragon but that may not be the case soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] metal450:
Ahh - so just to be clear, you're saying that your S9 Exynos runs a lot better on T-Mobile than your S8 Exynos, right? If so, that definitely sounds like a +1 vote for S9 over the S8.

Ughh...so now even Samsung is turning into Apple? :silly:

Still, if this is being done entirely via software update, it stands to reason that custom roms would not be affected, right? Which seems to just make the case for Exynos even stronger. Because *if* they do indeed disable this on all their phones, but only Exynos can support custom roms...that would mean that ultimately *only* Exynos would retain call-recording. No?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
Yes S9 runs much better on T-mobile's LTE network.

Yep, they're surely turning into Apple of Android... I've bought every galaxy phone since the first but looks like it is time to look elsewhere soon if Samsung starts restricting user choices. Huawei P20 and One plus 6 may give 90% of what Samsung offers.

Actually the call recording apps do not yet work on custom ROMs either. I agree Exynos is safer bet as there's still some chance someone will get call recording working with root and possibly T-mobile wifi calling too...
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] metal450:
Does that mean on custom roms for the S9 only, or does it apply to the S8 as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
Call recording apps work on S8 but if you're on Oreo then it will have intermittent issues due to Samsung limiting it in new updates.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] metal450:
Thanks for the confirm. I guess I should probably just disregard this as an S8 vs S9 criteria for now then, because if Samsung is breaking it in software they're likely to do so on both phones eventually - and if it's fixable in software it's likely the xda community will overcome it for both phones eventually too.

Still, the battery life thing is very disconcerting. People in this thread are continuing to post numbers like:

S9: Usage ~14 hours and 5 hours sot

S8: Usage ~20+ hours and 7+ hours sot

If true, that's a *very* big regression... :(
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
Personally, the battery life has been more or less the same for me if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] metal450:
Hmm, that's good to know, thanks. I guess I'll hold off for at least a few more days & see if there's more of a consensus, as this Anandtech review that started the whole thing is still pretty recent.

LTE works fine now after software update he says in his update
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
I don't get that video. He got the same crappy speeds with snapdragon Note 8. The only difference was the LTE vs HSPA indicator which is likely due to band 71 lacking on exynos. I have both Exynos and snapdragon S9+ phones and haven't noticed any issues. Snapdragon is probably 10-20% faster on LTE and coverage is identical. It is true that exynos lacks band 71 but that's about it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Nurmi_CEO:
So for sure the Exynos is missing Band 71? I was trying to find it but I swear someone posted saying he received his S9 Exynos and confirmed it had b71.

EDIT: Found the thread. I was confusing the Exynos for the US Unlocked version (SD845) https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9-plus/help/s9-9-unlocked-band-71-t-mobile-t3758387/page3
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
Yeah exynos is surely missing band 71. That's the only factor that'll affect coverage in limited areas but otherwise it's great. I have US unlocked snapdragon and it has band 71

You are too old for these forums. What is this downright casting mumbling comrade! You saying we should take carriers and samsung **** and just let it go coz they will tell us how they will make our phones that payed with our money work and what we can do and what we cant do? You sound really tired. Not to mentioned language cutouts in namerican firmwarws this is disrespect. Do you think i want to use my phone only in english or korean. No. (nor my grandfather does!) And if course apps like titanium are absolutely necessary, and are saving a lot of time. Also twrp backup, phones get slower after couoke of months, guess what i do, just reflash fresh data and system backup and restore few apps with titanium, and you always gkt a system that is a week old. Probably should do this someway with windows, windows us getting drunk after 3 month everytime. I bought snap s8 not knowing that we cant do anything with it, but happily i broke it and bought exynos from austria, and now i feel like I am dominus of my phone and not sams carriers that spat in my face after i gave 400$ to them.

Smartswitch App for phone backup

Samsung S9 has a preloaded App called Smartswitch which

via cable makes it very easy and fast to upload from an Android [which can get Smartswitch in Google Play].

It uploaded into S9 from my Alpha about 7 Gig in 1 hour 15 minutes with the S9 doing the heavy lifting.

Even texts and Call history and Apps IF loaded onto S9 were also given the data from old device to the S9.

Smartswitch with S9 sent to 'send ' should do thorough backups to other devices as backup , not sure about Computers etc.

My S9 is Tmo version but using on Metro PCS brand new

very good reception, very little bloatware and I have not done any software updates because I am thinking they will shorten my Screen On Time with larger OS and more background processes...this S9 is efficient compared to most.

On T Mo Towers - I have 2 to 5 Bars of 4GLTE and had 4 and 5 in the middle of a mall !

Might be worth checking out at a TMO store...

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] meyerweb:
I'm pretty sure my S7e had the option to turn the screen completely off when in a pocket or face down, even when AOD was turned on. I can't find any way to do that on the S9. Even on auto brightness it stays on, very dimly. On manual brightness, it stays on at whatever brightness you've set. What's the point of having AOD use even a little bit of battery if you can't see the display at all?

Anyone found a way to shut AOD off in these circumstances?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Goofytek:
Try Blocking Touches in the Display Options.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] meyerweb:
Thanks, but that's not it. I do have that turned on. It's not that AOD turns off but comes back on because of touches. Unlike the S7, it never turns off, even in a pocket or screen down.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] xoneatom:
Is this just a rant? Cause it seems like you've answered your own question.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Actually, it does turn off completely. If you cover the proximity sensor for around 30 seconds, the AOD turns off completely.

Same as the S7, same as the S8.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] redbaron1324:
I've been trying to solve this as well. It seems some models have different wording in the block touches option. My tmobile device says something like prevent touches while in a dark place, pocket. I've been told the wording for that option on other models is more like disable screen in dark places, pockets. I hope it gets changed in an update.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] vintagerock:
Actually it does not. What's weird is I swear it did when I first got the phone but it seems like an update broke it or something because it no longer does it.

Really hope a future update brings it back because I haven't found any settings that enable it.

Anyone figure this out?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] afh3:
What I've figured out is that it works 100% on my S9+.

And my wife's S9+.

And my daughter's S9+.

And my other daughter's S9+.

You may wish to review the settings on your device again.

I hope you find the missing configuration, because I can understand the frustration when something appears to not work as it should.

Having had a number of S7 phones that featured a stuck rotation-lock due to a borked accelerometer, and "glowing" screens while turned off due to bad display drivers, I would not discount the possibility that your device could be defective, if you have turned on the appropriate feature-set and the AOD still does not turn off when the proximity sensors are covered.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] meyerweb:
Nope. If I put it face down on a table or desk in a completely dark room, I can see the light from the screen reflecting off the surface. (My case lifts the screen slightly off the table.) And if I take it out of my pocket, I can see the AOD is very dim immediately after coming out, and then brightens after a split second.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] meyerweb:
Have you checked it in a totally dark room (say, a bathroom, at night, with the shade closed and the door closed)? Because that's when it becomes clear the screen is just very dim, not off. Also, if you set manual brightness on the AOD, instead of auto, it's very obvious that it stays on even when the phone is face down.

What do you consider the "appropriate feature set," because I've looked all through the settings and there is no setting for turning the screen off when in a pocket or face down.
