It just doesn't make any sense. Why would a carrier bloated firmware be pushed before a non one? We really should not have to wait a year for an operating system, proud. Great job Samsung!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Namolas:
YES.

PS: This would have been a perfect thread for a poll. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OnnoJ:
Not too long ago on Sammobile.com, an explanation was reported that unlocked devices needed to be tested to work correctly for all networks, while the branded needed only testing for the dedicated carrier...

I don't really buy that story, but I am not 100% sure.

Anyway, I don't expect the pleasure in using my phone will change notably after receipt of Oreo, so I don't really care when it arrives...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Conito11:
Because carriers ones have more slave users than unlocked ones. If there is no update on carrier simply the users could change their phones for another brand into their own cellphones plans (contacts). But if you have an unlocked one you can't protest; better do it by your self. I was on 7.1.1 with the August firmware until few days ago when i decided to flash throw Odin and now I'm happy with all oreo stuff and excellent battery life. Also I didn't have OEM stuff so I just flashed the same csc and that's all.

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Yes you're on the right track...I read that they need to approve it or something along those lines too. People think unlocked firmware gets updated first, but in reality it basically gets updated towards the end, if not last.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] whmgreen:
But that isn't historically accurate. I believe what has changed is that now Samsung has made their US unlocked phones compatible with all Networks firmware and bloat. Where as before the unlocked phones from years prior were not. I think I am beginning to understand now. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Ah that makes more sense... Thank you :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] <rev>:
Real incentive to buy Samsung's flagship model directly from Samsung unlocked and the go straight to the back of the queue for updates and receive them 6 months later.

I certainly won't be doing that again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Assuming project treble is part of future Notes, it may not really be a problem after the Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nuclearrage:
I'm pretty sure the carriers had something to do with the delay. My first unlocked device , and I am not alone. I think alot of folks went unlocked this time around , and the carriers don't like that. Although I am curious for Oreo , my note runs great now, so in a way I couldn't care less if they released it. Just that techy part of me that wants the latest and greatest.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Pechan_uvas:
I am!, Almost tempted to flash it and get it Oreo ASAP. Currently, I am experienced problems with the DEX station as it does not work with my note 8, it just charges it but never launch the DEX app nothing at all. On the other hand, my wife's S8+ with Oreo works perfectly with it plus according to my wife the phone is faster and smoother. Which it is interesting, due to s she is not into tech things even that she notices an improvement.

Samsung Pay and occasionally Secure Folder. These days I really just don't see the reason to root. I used to root for free WiFi tether now I have 15gb a month included in my Verizon plan and for cosmetic reasons regarding themes now we have the Samsung theme store.

There is an Uknown version and a Tmobile verison posted. I think Tmobile is mostly like the unlocked one. They dont block the samsung cloud and phone spam called id feature at least.

EDIT: the Uknown version is listed as CCT according to this Thread it is Xfinity
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cam30era:
I can confirm that the "unknown" one (CCT) is indeed Xfinity Mobile. CRC2 pushed to Note 8's this morning.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] reaper86111:
HI,

I've a samsung s9+ with original Dex station (not dex pad).

In resolution chooser i've only automatic, FHD and HD+ selectable. WQHD (2560x1440) is in gray and non selectable. I've tried both my monitor 2k and tv 4k. Max is 1080p.

It's normal?

In one s8 tread someone with the oreo update can switch 2k with this station.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] xdatester11:
It may be power saving mode. Confirm it is not enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] reaper86111:
isn't enabled. in max power mode and WQHD+ enabled, same thing.

it's possible the DEX STATION (1st model) only support 1080p? Anyone use it with 1440p?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] calinormy:
Original Dex supports only full hd, DESPITE Samsung claim for 4k. As far as I know neighter dex stations support 4k
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] oneraddood:
Same problem with me. I have the original Dex station and I plug it into my 4K TV and 1440p is grayed out. Really disappointed as that was one of the features I was mostly looking forward to
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] Exhile:
There has been only one 1440p desktop screenshot on Google's image search with a Samsung Galaxy S9+ and Samsung DEX pad. It's also in German. I don't think the Galaxy S9 series with the DEX pad can do 4K or 2160p.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] bled82:
S9+ Dex pad all cables from samsung option greyed out on Sony 4k tv , WTF! SAMSUNG :( , XDA help lol !!!!!!

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:09 PM ----------

Ok so I changed inputs on my sony XBR-43x800e from 3 to 2 and it enable the WQHD, which is strange since both are 4k ports per sony , Iswapped them back and forth again and now neither will go 4k for the Dex pad but both are for the xbox x . So just bad programming on samsungs part it would seem .
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] iyas87:
Is it still working for you to get wqhd on the dex? I bought the note 9 to use it with dex, but the option for wqhd is not available?? it is grayed out.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] neversleepz:
Sadly, I'm led to believe that the WQHD mode is limited to certain TV sets and limited supported refresh rates at WQHD resolution.

Most youtube video reviews of the dexpad show it greyed out. The only time I saw it work was on a youtube vid where it was connected to a samsung branded 4k TV. (And then the author of the video plugged it into a streaming capture device where the resolution went back down to 1080p)

I've got a Dell P2715Q 4K screen and in Dex mode its never done 4k, nor WQHD.

Except, if you get out of dex mode, and put it into screen mirroring mode - 4k does work. I can verify by opening the Menu on the Dell - the resolution and refresh rate is written in the corner is 4k 60hz. But in Dex mode I only get 1080p
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] mogm1:
Same problem here

I got a galaxy S9+ with latest update (oreo), 4k samsung tv (2018) and the 4k option is gray out. WTF Samsung ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] iyas87:
I had the issue with third party adapters, the wqhd is greyed out, but i got the dexpad and the wqhd showed up. I used same monitor and cables.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] bled82:
I get mixed results, I feel it may be related to the tv and the phone and the reboot power up sequence and timing , until Linux on Galaxy is released I have no use for it , wifi direct with mirror cast/google cast/ whatever works ok for wireless display and then connect usb or bluetooth devices to phone . Netflix didnt work well over either so there goes one of my main things was 4k netflix without hotspot tethering .
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] insign:
Talking with Samsung support, they informed that it is not supported and possibly will work on S10 (but not sure (yes, the support said that))
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] Pachecho5:
As far as I understand, the output is limited to certain displays, mostly Samsung TVs. I'm using the Tewejia dongle which works, sort of. I've got WQHD working on a Vizio display but I'm not sure if that TV is just supported, or the dongle might have something to do with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] LuketaD2:
I've got mixed results...

My 1080p LG TV didn't workout with the Dex Station.

My 1080p 9 years old AOC monitor did.

Any other monitor below 1080p didn't worked out too...

So I sold my Dex.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] maTTko:
S9 + Samsung USB-C monitor directly attached to phone = FHD ??? How to overwrite max resolution settings?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] clsmn:
Hello,

I hope first of all that I have caught the right thread here for my question and I've translated it properly.

I have, as the title says, a problem with my DeX-Pad and S9+. On 2 TV sets in the house nothing appears, if I have connected the Smartphone via DeX to the TV. The TV remains black, but the message "HDMI connected" (or something similar) appears briefly on the mobile phone display. The curious thing is that the whole thing works when I'm at the TV in the bedroom, but not at the TV in the living room and the study (where the whole thing is supposed to be used). But if I connect the LG V30 to all TVs via the pad, it works too! The first time I tried the S9+ recently, it worked in the living room, but not anymore.

I've already tried other power supplies for the pad and other HDMI cables. Also other HDMI inputs on the TV. Whereby it can't be due to the cables and HDMI ports, because it works on one device and on the other with the V30.

I also reset the TV and set the phone to factory settings. All without success. After several attempts I still haven't made any progress and wanted to ask here if someone can help me with the problem? Maybe someone has a solution or advice ready!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] horhokokki:
Is there any chance to get hdmi ouput vertically? I use my phone portrait mode and I want ky monitor show all full screen without huge borders. I mean I want outpt mirroring resolution like 1080 x 1920 ... Not landscape mode!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] DaneLaw:
Got an Samsung tab today.. s5e and tried on my 55" LG OLED and no dice above HD+ and FHD as 1440p is greyed out.

I was on a 4k60 typeC cable and a Samsung Tablet device from 3Q 2019.

can be numerous of reasons... lack of potent hardware in the tablet, lack of native Samsung Dex cradle or cable, lack of high-res-support for an LG 4K OLED TV 2017.

whatever is the reason and if it is doable on Samsungs part, then Samsung needs to get it sorted otherwise Dex interface will be a dead dino, before it even got some legs to walk on.

The last thing Samsung should think about is limiting this DEX interface if they wanna give it a healthy chance..

thx for the thread, seems it is the norm and the majority have problems reaching above 1080p.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] xuggs:
Hi. I bought a Galaxy Note10+ and tried multiple cables and adapters (except Dex Station or Pad) and it never allows me a resolution higher than 1080p when connected to my LG 4K monitor. Sucks.

However, I found the below in their official FAQ:

DeX accessories

Are there any differences between connecting my mobile device to a DeX Station or DeX Pad and connecting it to an HDMI adaptor?

FAQ

An HDMI adaptor doesn't have a fan that can cool your device down. Therefore the maximum number of windows you can open on your the screen of your TV/monitor is limited to five, and also the maximum resolution is limited to FHD only.

※ Note that if you're using an HDMI adapter with a tablet running on Android Pie or a later version, the highest supported resolution is UWQHD.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] kevinmcmurtrie:
Does the DeX Pad box still say "HDMI UHD 4K" on the side? I immediately demanded a refund when I found out that was a lie.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] KlomDark:
So I was able to get this to work using Galaxy S9+, a Saqmsung 43" 4K TV, and Microsoft's Continuum adapter (Designed for Windows Phones, but also works fine for DeX). When I first connected my phone to the adapter, I could only get the HD resolution. But then I unplugged the HDMI cable from the adapter and plugged it back in, and all the higher resolutions were available, even UWQHD (3440x1440)! Currently typing this on Dex at WQHD (2560x1440). Hope this helps someone!

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] oceanauk:
Hi all

Have a rooted S8, everything is running fine apart from one little glitch... The Google Play Movies app won't allow me to view purchased films offline. I am able to stream, no problems, I can download the item but once downloaded, said film won't play. I receive an error message saying I need to restart device... Which doesn't work BTW!

So far I have cleared app cache, uninstalled app and reinstalled, updated app, tried the download on internal and external memory, no luck. I have tried all different movies. The app works fine on my tablet. So it's device specific. I have spoken to Google who have confirmed my account is clear and phone is connecting on OK.

Has anyone else encountered this or have any suggestions... It's very frustrating.. I can only think the rooted handset is causing a glitch?

Thank you in advance, Jackie
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] RossTeagan:
Have you tried using a different player? Or download it and move it in your google drive and use the drive's default video player?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] oceanauk:
Hi, thanks for your reply

I believe you can't use any other player... the format of the video, which is broken up into separate segmented files for this specific reason, is only playable via their (Google) own app.. And I'm not sure how you would download it to Google Drive...

Would love to know if anyone else has experienced this issue...
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Haiik:
Hi all!

I saw a thread on the guides forum teching how to re-lock the bootloader and go back to stock.

I was able to go back to the stock ROM beautifully, but when i tried to lock the bootloader it simply didn't work. It went through the entire process but when the phone rebooted, the "this device is unlocked and can't be trusted" message still shows.

Anyone knos how to fix this? Thanks!
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] sam00561:
update to the latest ota february 18 patch then check again it will be locked.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Haiik:
Updated... But it's still unlocked.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] dyonissos:
That message shows up even if relock the bootloader.

You need to flash a modified logo.bin image to get rid of it.
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Greamos:
If you use my guide, you need to be on a custom rom for relocking. Otherwise it wont work :), so try installing twrp, and install a custom rom. Than u can relock
[Moto Z Play Questions & Answers] Haiik:
So I can re-install the stock room after I re-lock the bootloader?

Sorry for my lack of knowledge lol
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Tinkerer_:
Saw mention elsewhere that exFAT is not supported by stock V30.

Can anyone confirm, results of actually trying?

I thought exFAT support was built-in to Android these days.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] DLS123:
It works on my EU H930 but I can not open it in storage settings. com.android.settings keeps crashing all the time when trying to open the card from settings. Otherwise seems fine, I can copy stuff with file manager or sync Plex to it.

Camera app can save photos on it too.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Tinkerer_:
Is this the case for just the SD card, or does it also behave this way with an external exFAT drive mounted using USB OTG?

Can anyone offer info on how the unlocked US998 handles exFAT? With either stock OS, or a ROM such as WETA?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] DLS123:
After a phone factory reset I can click the card (mounted internally) in the settings, doesn't crash anymore and it opens the file browser now.

Don't have a card reader to test on OTG, but I could test a mechanical drive formatted as exFAT
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Tinkerer_:
Thanks.

I use exFAT for both external mechanical drive on USB OTG and micro SD card in my current phone (Moto X Pure).

Would appreciate any confirmation of V30 exFAT support including external OTG support.

If the US998 does not support it with stock OS, that's a deal breaker.

....
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] adit9989:
micro SD supported I use a 256GB card. I don't use OTG but as SD requires exFAT I don't see why would not work.

As a note, exFAT require licencing, so it's not included in Android itself but most manufacturers have a licence for it ( it's not per device, it's per manufacturer). However some small Chinese manufacturer may not have one.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] DLS123:
Tested with exFAT formatted SATA hard drives connected via USB through a Microsoft HD-500 dock (should be the same thing as OTG) then the LG V30 on USB-C. Works perfectly.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] jford04:
Hi there.

My Hermes is running WM6 (Shamanix Grass Rom) and for some strange reason whenever I set the time to GMT+10 (Sydney) it will change it back to GMT +10(Vladivostok) after a few hours or a few days. This is annoying during Daylight savings times as my phone can be out of time by an hour.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue? I don't really want to Hard Reset it because setting up my 3G Services is a massive pain.

Thanks,

and disable auto time zone and clock

Hi.

Seems like the latest Update (128) broke my mirrorcast/streaming.

In the Update before it worked flawless.

I checked with Chromecast and a Sony and Samsung Tv.

Ive tested the Samsung TV in two different Networks.

In every test my device connects and disconnects immediatly.

Really annoing. Since my device is not routed its hard to investigate.
