[Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 Questions & Answers] Aadianilkp:
I had recently installed PixelExperience (8.1.0 Oreo) Rom on my device. As I found that I would have better features in LineageOS, I went ahead and installed LineageOS 15 (Unofficial) in my device. I cleared everything (Dalvik/ART, System, Data and Cache) before I installed the new rom. But as I went throught the rom, I found that the Music FX app wont open and kept on crashing, the audio cant be played in any music or video apps, The Wifi, Bluetooth and Hotspot never even switches on. Another weird thing was that the fingerprint option in the settings menu wasnt even there and the device wouldn't wake up to show the lock screen when it has been touched like before. I then thought that it was the ROM that had the problems and went back to PixelExperience, but to my amazement, the problems had emerged there too and all of the above problems are now present in the PixelExperience ROM. Anybody with the same problem or ones who know the solution, please respond ASAP.

Hi! Is there a way to disable swipe from left to go home, so that that the only way to get to the watch face is by pressing the side button. I noticed this when testing my watch with different apps and games being sideloaded to it. For example, in Temple Run, when I swipe from the sides to change direction, I go back to the watch face.

I have a samsung s7, I had some problems with it so I had to reinstall it via Odin. I downloaded a firmware called SM-G930f Three sweden. and since then the phone was locked to three sweden. is it even possible?? How and why? I downloaded other software but the problem persists. Is there even a solution? I could use any sim card before i installed the Wrong firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Beanvee7:
I don't think it's possible for carriers to retroactively lock and unlocked device, each country and carrier has their own firmware which can affect your network compatibility if you're using the wrong one.

Try finding a non-carrier specific firmware from updato.com or sammobile.com and flashing that, you can also try flashing the UK BTU firmware since it's the stock unbranded firmware.

Start with just flashing home_csc and nothing else if you don't want to lose any data, but if you want to do a full flash them all 4 files using normal CSC.

I just loaded up my LG V20 with the AOKP android 7.1, I plugged in my USB OTG ( SD micro card installed in this) and it will not even power on at all. I rebooted into TWRP, and it works just fine there, I can read, mount and unmount, no troubles. booted to system, but no power at all to the adapter plugged into the usb-c / charging port. My reader is a couple of years old, do you think it might just not be compatible with my new phone? Is there a setting I might be overlooking to enable this to work?

So the north american versions have a Qualcomm snapdragon processor in them, they have locked bootloaders which will not get unlocked.

There is usually a hong kong snapdragon version that is not locked however.

The international versions, europe, asia etc have samsungs own exynos processor in them and they are easily unlocked.

There are some other differences in functionality like wifi calling etc that may not work on exynos and the exynos version will not work on a cdma network like Verizon.

That sums it up in a nutshell, and yes for a deeper understanding hit up google

[Xiaomi Mi MIX  Questions & Answers] mmidders:
Hi all

I play a game on several Android devices that incorporates the Device ID in the save files. The game devs will port save files for you when you change devices but this takes several days, so normally I root and use Device ID Changer app to keep all my devices on the same id.

Now that I'm using Oreo, I understand that it handles the Device ID in a very different way so that each app instance has a unique id associated with it. Is there any way to find out what this id is for a particular app and then to change it. I have root, and terminal and am not bad on the command line, if a little rusty.

I found the solution to the problem in the following post:

Oreo stores deviceids in /data/system/users/0/settings_ssaid.xml so you can either use the tool from the above post to change them, or I presume that you can use a root text editor to modify the file directly. Changes won't come into effect until after a reboot.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] event3horizon:
I've done a ton of research on how to unlock bootloader on my verizon M9 (f*** you verizon), and it seems only feasible option is sunshine and 25 bucks. That being said, I updated to nougat before wanting this, and I'm reading that sunshine may not be able to s-off the phone with this latest verizon update. I tried to downgrade to marshmallow v. 3.37.605.7 using RUU 0PJAIMG_HIMA_WL_M60_SENSE70_VZW_MR_VERIZON_WWE_3.37.605.7_HSM_Radio_2.15.C1144077@60105_CNV_1.26_002_release_469809_signed_1.zip and it fails using the SD card fat 32 method. Am I doing it wrong?

1) Can sunshine s-off with latest nougat update?

2) If not, is there any way to downgrade to a version that sunshine can s-off?

3) Am I screwed? No custom roms for me?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] VerizonSucksman:
If you can't downgrade, Sunshine can't get temproot and thus can't s-off.

The device is old (the community has moved on long ago) so it isn't a priority for the sunshine team; when j asked, the reply was something to the effect of it not being on the radar. Hard to blame them; dev time is limited, and they can help more people focusing on other phones.

You can supposedly send it to someone with an HTC Java card or XTC2 Clip, but I can't verify that. I can verify that Kingo and similar do nothing for you. So no, no custom ROMs, no root, and you're stuck with Verizon and Google's bloatware. but

Also, be warned batteries on the M9s are dying (like, nearly all of them; if you don't have a newer battery, yours will soon), and some of them fail spectacularly if you try to charge them during/after actual death

(If you do like I did and change phones and carriers, confirm before you buy; I thought "huh, T-Mobile is good about rooting, and I've heard great things about how easy unlocking Samsungs are." It turns out one of those two has turned on us, probably Samsung, though I'm still not clear on why.)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] feralicious:
When you say "some of them fail spectacularly" do you mean the battery or the phone?

Honestly, it's not as bad as it looks. I've replaced two screens and that repair job requires some extra steps. As long as you have a backup phone I'd say give it a shot.

I found a place that will do it for only about $25 more than it would cost me to get the battery and tools to do it myself, so I'll let them do it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Nathamio:
So I'm going to buy the s9 in about a month after a couple paychecks so I have a lot to think about. First off, I would LOVE to be able to unlock the bootloader. I know qualcomm bootloaders are super locked down these days for some reason even though android is supposed to be an open platform but I'm considering getting the international version. The only problem is I'm on verizon :(. Do these phones work with CDMA yet? I'm 99% sure they don't but if anyone has given it a try let me know. If I switch to t-mobile can I use it in America? Or do you guys think the bootloader unlock isn't worth it and maybe JUST MAYBE someone will find an exploit? Let me know your thoughts guys, I'm really just trying to consider my options here. Maybe it's time to say "screw you" to verizon, or maybe I should just give up on root and buy a tablet or something to play with. Let me know what y'all think!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Nine9•:
Exynos version will not work on your Verizon network. Buy the us unlocked version. But remember verizon wifi calling will not work
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
I would switch carrier if I were you and go with T-mobile if you they have acceptable coverage in your area. If you really value root and want good adblocker,best sound mod,ability to backup all your apps properly,custom battery icons,bypass stupid manufacturer restrictions and enjoy your device the fullest, go with Exynos.

If Samsung pay, VoLTE and WiFi calling matters a lot to you, go with Snapdragon. But I would still switch to Tmobile in that case.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] iunlock:
I had just posted something about the perks of why I went with the SD variant (T-Mobile) S9+ ...here's the link.

Exynos does have their advantages with better Dev support etc, however it is still unclear if the Exynos variant will suffer from carrier aggregation on the US network.

This was a known issue on the Exynos Note 8 having trouble with the LTE, where it could cling onto one strong signal, however it wasn't able to handle the protocol of being able to connect to several signals at the same time.

Check out this post where I went into explaining it a little more...

I am waiting for a confirmation to see if the Exynos S9+ will work 100% on T-Mobile...

Oh and I'd definitely switch to T-Mobile as well. I have one Verizon line left, but the rest is now on TM so I can tell you that in places where I barely had bars with TM, I now have full LTE... TM has the newest infrastructure and they are expanding like crazy... the coverage and speed nowadays are are excellent. You can check out the carrier coverage map here.

Hope that helps...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
A very good argument in SD variant's favor! I have S8+ Exynos currently and I do not get over 20Mbps on Tmobile in limited areas I have tested so far(I should say I do not have great coverage where I live, but it is not terrible by any means). I hope S9+ Exynos will not have this issue but I feel it may suffer in same way.

As long as I have WiFi calling and VoLTE, it doesn't bother me too much that the LTE speeds are "capped" for lack of better term on the Exynos version. I considered getting Chinese G9650 with unlockable SD bootloader but looking at the g9550, it doesnt have much support here on XDA and there is not even Oreo out for it still!! The dual SIM is helpful when I travel internationally, so really hoping Exynos gets VoLTE, WiFi calling and good LTE speeds on T-mobile!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] swieder711:
I am interesting in buying an Exynos S9+ for use on Verizon. I dont see band 13 listed as supported. Isn't B13 one of the more popular ones for Verizon?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Nathamio:
Thanks for the detailed reply and sources! That helps me a lot. I'll probably switch to T-Mobile sometime for sure. I think I'll just go with the US unlocked since Samsung will probably get root anyways, and I played with the s9 a bit and like the ROM enough. The bands we use in US are a bit different and people have reported a lot of problems, so since I spend 95% of my time doing normal stuff on my phone I'll not ruin that 95% for the sake of the 5% of the time I'm tinkering.

Also on the T-Mobile coverage you're right! Seems like they've really been expanding their coverage. A couple years ago me and my brother rode from NC to MS and he had a Galaxy tab on T-Mobile LTE and it was blistering fast the whole ride there. Pretty stout if I do say so myself!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Pure+:
I like you would prefer the unlocked international version for the unlocked bootloader and potential to mod. I don't even have the CDMA network restriction as I'm on AT&T. Even still I went with the US unlocked. I got it super cheap with student discount. I think I paid 700 for a brand new phone, epic these days considering so many are costing over 1000. Anyway back to the point, I got the US snap variant and I have no issues at all. This thing is absolutely awesome, I don't have one single complaint about it and with Nova launcher is feels even nicer imo. US unlocked is a good choice even if you didn't have to get it for the CDMA compatibly
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] HNIC215:
There are pros and cons to owning both variants...

Do your due diligence and consider your own use cases for your phone.

Do you use Samsung Pay?

Do you care about having a warranty?

Do you like to run custom ROMs?

Do you want fast LTE speeds?

Based on these answers and many more, you can determine which model is best for you!

Good luck!

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] markpwilms:
I can confirm that Band 71(the newest band that Tmobile is flooding the USA with) works great on the US unlocked version. If you are even thinking about going with T-Mobile, get the Snapdragon. Although I can't personally confirm this, I've heard that Band 71 will not work with the Exynos phone. If someone could confirm this, that would be great.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] HNIC215:
True...

If I'm not mistaken though, you would still have to ship it overseas for repairs.

Is there a US Store that offers domestic warranty coverage for international Samsung phones?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
No domestic stores in US offer warranty on Exynos versions. And I am 99.99% sure Exynos does not have band 71 for T-mobile (600MHz).

Band 12,2, and 4 should be sufficient for most people I think until 600MHz is widely available.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Booyaah82:
