[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Chronosus:
Preface: I used my phone for 3 weeks now and I already got 2 small scratches on the front, and I made sure to put it in the where I didn't have anything else. It came as a shock to me since I used my M8 for 4 years with not one scratch on the display. Turns out, gorilla glass 5 is not that good and really scratch prone (M8 had GG3 which was harder apparently) and it's the same with all GG5 phones.

Does anyone know what version (if any) of GG is the glass on the back of the phone? I found info that it's GG3 on regular U11. It's a shame that i have to put this beautiful phone in TPU case, not to mention that glass feels really great in hand.

Corning f-ed up big time with GG5.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Larlen:
Hello guys,

I am fairly new with Huawei phones and phones with a notch.

Especially when using Instagram (browisng stories), the sides of the app are being cut, like the image is just smaller than on a normal/different phone. So if there is a text just on the edge, it would be cut and you would not be able to read it.

I was wondering if there is anyway to fix it.

I heared there is something like "fullscreen mode" for apps, but when I go to Settings and click it, Instagram is not on the list. Could I disable it (cause maybe it is enabled), just for this specific app?

No root etc.

Kind regards!
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] _richyg_:
Im experiencing the exact same issue. What you can do is hiding the noth in system settings. Then you`ll get Insta (including stories) in fullscreen. BUT: Then the buttons for Text, Pen, image dont react to your touches. Its a complete mess. Can you confirm the problems with touch in hide notch mode?
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Ephixi4:
I will check my IG app in a sec, but I think fullscreen mode is only available for apps that don't support the display.

I think apps like IG that natively 'support' these displays just don't display in the fullscreen mode settings.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Larlen:
The problem still occurs with hide notch mode ON, it is a bit better, but still edges on the sides are being cropped.

[MENTION=5894359]Ephixi4[/MENTION] yeah I reinstalled the app, but fullscreen is not an option for IG. So it seems like it is either problem with a ROM or IG problem with not displaying their content properly for different res/notches.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] _richyg_:
Yes, I checked that, too. It doesnt show the entire screen. Did you check if the buttons work properly, when hiding notch is enabled? :confused:
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Larlen:
I use the finger print scanner instead of navigation bar, that seems to work just fine.

I really wonder if it's OS issue for cropping app like that or IG.

Hoping for workaround soon.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Ephixi4:
[MENTION=8616578]Larlen[/MENTION] so I have notch visible but I have my soft keys hidden and I use the fingerprint scanner as navigation button.

Had no issues with IG app, maybe because of that?

But it seems more that the app is not very well designed to fit these screens and notch. When you want to edit a picture the brightness toggle is cropped because of the notch.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Fralouw:
It doesn't seem to be an issue with the notch, rather an issue with the screen ratio, with the notch not hidden it's 18.7/9, and with it hidden its 18/9, and it looks like alot of the apps are not optimized for 2/1 screen ratios yet
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] _richyg_:
Well, I wasnt talking about the system navigation. I use the fingerprint sensor, too. I was talking about the Instagram Buttons in Story Mode, when hiding the notch. The Buttons for editing a story pic, before you actually post it.

These Buttons (for inserting a text, or a gif etc) dont really work...

Can yoo confirm? or dont you guys just dont use instagram storys?
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] gtsim9:
I can confirm this. The story buttons are not responsive. I can get them to work sometimes after tapping on them continuously but it's super annoying. However, I found out that swiping up opens the sticker menu so that's a workaround at least. ;)
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] _richyg_:
Well, yes, but when I swipe up and see the emojis, they dont react neither...
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] SteveDaPeeve:
Have the same issue. The buttons are not responsive because they are in the notch area. I've found they do work when you tap below the buttons as if they were below the notch area. The phone thinks the are still in the same spot as usually but it shows them in the top corner.

My insta stories also cuts of edges from pictures I made vertically. It's because of the screen ratio. I can't get them right even if I cut it the right ratio with an other app.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] persmash:
Why instagram still did not updated the app. The problem annoys too much. Anyone knows a workaround?
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] flocool:
I use the fingerprint sensor to navigate and not the classic Android bottom bar.

I just tried right now on a story: if I use instead the classic bottom bar, I can see the whole story. If I hide the bottom bar, then the story takes the full screen and it crops the edges, right and left...

As someone said, it has to do with developers and not the phone I guess.

I hope IG will fix it soon

I haven't changed the ROM or anything, this just suddenly happened.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cricketpaddleinmyhand:
I've had the note8 for about 3 months-ish. It's been great, only thing is I am getting SICK of having no control over which apps are doing what in background, (stock stuff spying/sending data home etc).

I was just pushed the oreo update from my carrier and it looks like its slightly slower now, guess this is all part of the planned obsolescence to get us to buy new phones.

The questions for the experts here :

-How difficult/dangerous is it to root note8 with knox, and have it come out successful?

-How do you possibly find a trustworthy rom that wont be loaded with viruses/rootkits

-Is there a gold standard guide out there for security on rooted note8's (how to setup firewalls/ iptables. with knox in the equation)

I dont want to overload this post with stuff when I'm the one holding my hat out here for advice. I've googled for weeks, can't seem to find any straight answer. No one seems to have any solid hands on experience with this (rooting/knox/security). I just know that the note8 with all the knox parts makes it different from any other phone ive had.

THANK YOU.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cricketpaddleinmyhand:
I suppose I should also mention that I am looking for something that will be the most secure/offer the most flexibility in maintaining privacy.

Ideally I would love something that just has a homescreen that shows all network data events/history. Probably doesnt exist, but thats my mindset about all this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] http://:
If you want security and the ability to stop stuff running in the background (slowing down your phone and using your battery), you don't want to root.

Just install one of these apps:

1. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pdp.singleplay

or

2. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kunkunsoft.packagedisabler

They allow you to disable apps you don't want or use (e.g. facebook). I use the first one. I know they are paid apps but they are worth the money.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cricketpaddleinmyhand:
Yea, I have heard of those. But I guess whenever I see a solution that involves me paying some person I dont know for them to put code on my phone, I always prefer to go the learn it myself route. Which is why I guess I am asking for some advice on rooting, I can handle doing it myself, I'm not entirely un-tech savvy. Just had a few general questions about rom/knox issues.

Also thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
It's pretty straightforward to root, just read through the root threads and make sure you're familiar with all the steps.

I have never downloaded a rom from here with viruses and rootkits. Look at user feedback and install a virus scanner on your phone if concerned. For official firmware, try SamFirm or Sammobile.

You can use apps like AFWall+ from the Play Store but root is required for it to work. I don't know what you mean by "with Knox in the equation" though. Knox is something else entirely.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cricketpaddleinmyhand:
Yep, pretty familiar with finding roms/installing them (still weary of anything free, rootkits can be hidden anywhere these days). Only reason I specifically made a thread this time around is due to the knox security portion of the note8. I've heard it can complicate things when rooting note8, and I was unable to find much info from people on it (especially with recent version releases)

but thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
What model do you have? Rooting on Exynos with custom recovery will trip Knox counter and stop samsung pay/secure pass from working ever again. Most Snapdragon models have locked bootloaders though, and their root method doesn't affect Knox if I recall correctly (see SamFail thread though for that last one).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] http://:
Do what you're happy doing.

Just one thing. Your logic is fatally flawed. You say you won't pay someone to provide a solution unless you have researched it first but you will however sacrifice security by rooting for free but you haven't researched it.

Your questions are all answered in this forum, you just need to use the search function. No need to create another 'how do I root and what are the advantages/disadvantages' thread.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cricketpaddleinmyhand:
Thanks for your reply, however practice makes perfect - can't get good at anything until you try.

As for searching this forum, maybe I should have been more specific when i said I googled. That meant I searched everywhere I knew of (including here) for any specific knox related rooting guides for the current note8 OS release. And since it just rolled out few days prior, I haven't found many first hand accounts/spoken to anyone who has attempted it. I will also add that i was hoping to hear some opinions about something that is specifically tailored to security/privacy. I guess I thought that was unique enough/not previously posted to warrant my own thread. But as you stated, perhaps my thinking is flawed.

Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
The thing is, if you are so concerned about security issues, do not use ANY google related service/software, there you voluntarily give tons of pieces of info, but that includes amdroid itself, as it relies on google play services, as I see it, your best option for not having anything suspicious installed in your device is a plain feature phone, and a computer with the best protection you can buy/get
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cricketpaddleinmyhand:
Yes, you couldn't be more right about that.

Unfortunately google and my work have not fully separated and probably wont anytime soon. Main reason i was wanting to root was to have some sort of control over my firewall/setup some iptables to limit the amount of trackers/bugs phoning home.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
Rooting is the exact opposite to safety, that is why unbranded/generic/fake/etc are sold with root access out of the box, no restrictions whatsoever for anything
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
I'm not sure what you mean by "Knox-related rooting guides". That may be part of the confusion and why you can't find what you're looking for. You root the phone/OS, not Knox.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] cricketpaddleinmyhand:
Yea, it is confusing I know. Apparently I have heard that the knox feature can cause issues , especially if you already updated .

Botched this thread pretty good lmao, everyone is totally lost. (me included)

meh, don worry about it. ill just let the thread hang, see if anyone can see what im trying to explain somewhat terribly

Well, I would somewhat agree with you there. But, I guess Im just sick of having no way to set my own firewall rules/ have control over my ports.

[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] TheFixItMan:
To start off with - you don't flash stock firmware in recovery mode you flash it in the bootloader mode which is working looking at your pics using fastboot commands from a command prompt (see stock firmware thread)

You haven't mentioned if your device is bootloader unlocked

If it is you can just flash twrp recovery in fastboot (see twrp thread for instructions)

If your device is not bootloader unlocked (if you don't know then it isn't) then I presume what you are seeing on the recovery is stock recovery

When in this mode when that image appears hold power button then with it held press volume up - this will allow you access to the stock recovery menu where you can perform a factory reset

Obviously if you have unlocked the bootloader & attemptted to replace the recovery you did it wrong & the process should just be repeated but correctly

Hi I have recently let my niki fall while the sliding sreen was opened. Since then I have noticed that the screen part of the phone move a little when the phone is closed. It's really unpleasant when you hold it closed in your hand because it's always moving and doesn't give you the initial sensation of rigidity...

I think I have bend the rail that the screen part usually follow and I wonder if there is an easy way to dismantle the two parts of the phone to rebend the rail properly.

We can see two cross-shaped screw behind the screen when the phone is opened I don't know what it holds so I'm asking for a handyman who have already dismantle his phone or had this kind of trouble and can tell me if the sliding rail is easily reachable and not too difficult to put the two part together again

(I have a bad experience in dismantleling electronic device and I know that it's often easy to dismantle but when you put it together again It's worth than before...)

Don't know if anyone cares about this anymore, but I just found one of these in the display at a local shop, so started messing with it. Here's root guide:

- Install Mixplorer on your phone

- Install Kingroot on your phone

- Download 'Kingroot to Supersu' zip here - http://www.mediafire.com/download/mxzbt42xypvn2ts/Replace_Kinguser_with_SuperSU-v2.4.zip - and extract to /sdcard, (internal storage root). You will have a folder called 'mrw'.

- Root with Kingroot

- Open Mixplorer, and grant su permissions, then go to /sdcard/mrw, and long-press on 'root.sh', and select 'execute' from the drop-down menu. Wait for script to finish, and update Supersu binary. Ignore message about other superuser app, (press cancel...).

- Reboot; done
