[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kwanbis:
I am in the process of either buying a P20, or an S9. This is a 35 vs 40 euro per month question (10 total as I need two phones) and since it is 2 years contract I am very interested in the reliability part of the phone, hardware, and software wise.

I am interested in using the phone mainly for communication calls/whatsapp, but also very important for taking pictures and recording videos. No gaming for me.

Reviews, in general, are very good about the P20, but reviews are short-lived usage experiences, and my only experience with Huawei (a Hero 6X), has not been very good: slow to update, the phone freezes from time to time (it is obviously not a flagship, I know), so I was wondering, now that you have (hopefully) used the phone for a while, will you get a P20 or an S9 if you had the chance?

As a former user of the S7 Edge, I tend to think the Samsung is a more reliable phone, but I wanted to hear from real users here.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
Asking this in the S9 forums, you're going to be getting answers from people who have already bought the S9 mostly, would be better off asking in the S7 Edge forums where people are yet to decide

Why not buy an S9 and a P20 and have the best of both worlds if you're getting two phones anyway?

Also you can review each of them against each other for other people
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kyooohei08:
I've never had the P20 and never heard of it's reviews, I just want to point out that Samsung also sucks when it comes to software update. Imagine that the May security patch is not yet available through OTA for my device and yet already available in the firmware downloads in sammobile. If you want to get the latest firmwares available you should do it manually through Odin though.

If you're not into gaming, this phone is really fast, and when I said fast, blazing fast. Even though 4gb ram makes other apps reload, it doesnt even bother because they load up really fast. I cant complain much of this phone when it comes to speed.

When it comes to camera, I really like the HDR of this phone and all the features implemented in the camera app itself. It takes really good photos with great exposures (thanks to the improved HDR capability). However, I am not really into Samsung's "smoothening" process, as it makes the photo look smooth, lacking of details. The only way to counterpart that is to enable RAW format in pro mode or use a third party camera app like the gcam port with working HDR+, I use it everytime I found the stock cam's HDR suffering from harsh sunlight and everytime I needed that extra crisp in photos.

Battery? Hhmm. I used to care a lot about phone's battery. I used to disable most apps and features just to get more juice out of it. The least battery I got was about 4h of SOT amd to be honest, Im pretty happy with that. Then, I realized why would I buy a premium phone and then disable most of its features. So I reset my phone and enjoyed it as it is. AOD yeah boy, fast charging will keep me back as soon as possible.

Overall, you cant go wrong with the S9. Speaker with dolby atmos is amazing. I feel like Im watching movies in cinema, for real! I only hate about this phone is that it doesnt have international warranty. Yes it may be a different case with others, this phone was bought in Dubai and then brought here in the Philippines. I wouldnt been so worried until last 3 days that I found out that my phone is affected with "dead zone spots" in screen, and now I've got to deliver it back to Dubai to get it fixed.

Owned the Huawei P20 Pro. If you want good photos, you'll forget about the Huawei.

Oversharpen, blur, bad edge detection, people looking like oil paintings.

The software is bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] KamilKiri:
I was testing both S9+ and P20Pro in the store and...S9+ is a killer I don't see any bad sides besides that fingerprint button on the back...but nowadays its on every phone.

P20Pro...I almost bought it but when I saw how it record videos, I put it out. It's horrible. 60fps is in real 50fps. Bad OIS, video stutters when recording...and little less stuttering when on playback...S9+ feels like a finished, polished product. P20Pro was like...meh, a toy with unfinished software. I don't like it. But huge PLUS for fingerprint sensor under screen and all these gestures with it.

I bought S9+ 2 weeks ago and I'm so happy about it. Perfect phone. I changed from S7 flat (smaller version).

Record videos like..wow. Genius stabilization even with EIS off, nice photos, really big and amazing screen and loud and quality stereo speakers.

I will probably change to S10 next year when they'll implement underscreen fingerprint sensor :D

If you have any more questions, feel free to tag me. Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kwanbis:
Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] kwanbis:
Thanks, S9+ is another option, but I think I am going to go with S9 this time. Main differnce I see are more battery, more screen, adn more camera, but more expensive :D
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] TerryFalcon:
I not really big fan of huawei, I'm a Samsung user from a long time, I'm pretty impressed with the camera, Software UI, and some other stuff... I don't really like huawei's Software and Camera quality is damn too low as compared to Samsung...

I would suggest you to go with samsung... but its upto you

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] killedk:
My S7 Active SM-G891a had issues out of nowhere one day and got stuck in the recovery booting boot loop. I couldn't get the stock recovery mode to ever load up, it would always restart or tell me no command even after entering in commands to load the stock recovery mode up. I have tried flashing with a handful of firmwares, the 6.0 firmware just go into a recovery booting boot loop and the 7.0 ones I have tried act like they are going to boot but then get a warning "Security Error: This phone has been flashed with unauthorized software & is locked. With the 7.0 software I can get back into stock recovery mode but still cant actually boot the phone up afterwards. Is there an ATT US firmware that I should be able to use that wont get this message? Also as a note, during the flash, the BL would never flash with any of the firmwares I have downloaded. It was hit or miss if the AP, CP, or CSC would flash without failure. Some would have success on all 3 and others wouldn't. Just trying to get the phone functional again, and not necessarily rooting it or unlocking it. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] ThunderingLight:
I have never heard of that happening. Sounds frustrating sorry.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Active Questions & Answers] faronium:
For future reference, when you see the "No Command" screen with a little dead android character, if you hold power while clicking vol up then release recovery should start up. If you are in recovery and don't select "reboot system" then the phone will continually reboot to recovery first stopping at the "No Command" screen. This will happen even if you hard power down the phone until you specify boot to system. This is actually a feature to default you to a recovery position rather than getting stuck in messed up software.

I agree with [MENTION=8309887]ThunderingLight[/MENTION] that attempting to flash the Nougat stock ROM is the only way out. This model phone is very locked down, so you are running up against the security features that keep it locked and prevent unauthorized software from being loaded. Overall, that's a good thing for most people, but bad for folks that like to play with their devices.

Good luck

Are there any mods or roms for the OnePlus that allow me to firewall apps? That is, allow me to set incoming and outgoing rules for each app?

Similarly is there any way to modify the wifi so it will not be so promiscuous, that is, it won't look for networks I've seen before but will wait for the broadcast of all networks (even though this is slower, it gives better privacy)?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] texas:
Hello all,

Somehow today while trying to reset my Exchange/Active Sync connection on my Tilt I lost all my contacts. Since this was going to be a new Exchange account I did not have any on the server yet, I was hoping that it would copy all from the device to the server like it had before but some reason this time everything got wiped out.

On my device I had a 2 year old backup of the file pim.vol and I copied it to the root of my device as per I read somewhere on line but now when I try to open my contacts nothing happens.

I think that I have a backup in the Sprite Backup that I made shortly after getting the Tilt. The problem is where should the file be? I don't want to do a full restore but I'm not sure where the contact file is in the tree.

Can anyone please advise when running a Sprite Backup if the contacts get backed up and where they SHOULD be?

Thanks

Hi,

Finally Samsung created a landscape mode in the s9 with oreo. On my note 8 (n9500) and on a s8 exynos with oreo the option for activating the landscape mode is missing. I like the stock launcher. But ill love it more with landscape mode.

Ive found today a way to use the landscape mode with a workaround, whitch shows me, the function is already in the oreo galaxy s but samsung forgot to make the setting for acivating it.

The workaround landscape mode:

1. Open an app in multiwindow view.

2. You dont need to open a secound app. Just press the home button.

3. Now you see your last app in the upside in a very tiny area with a 'x'.

4. Now just turn your oreo galaxy. It will work in f...ing landscape mode! The appdrawer, too. If you clouse the minimized tiny multitasking area, it stops working in landscape mode.

So...

Can someone create an app or something to activate the landscape mode without root?

The function is already here. Please help, if your creazy programer skills can beat this problem :)

Thx..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Themes, Apps, and Mods] llPac:
Ive done a tasker task for it for now. If you do the following steps in a task you can put it in bxactions. Then you xan enable it with pressing 1 button.

Tasker task:

1. Open one app (not important whitch 1).

2. Wait 507 ms

3.toggle split screen

4. Wait 507 ms

5. Show homescreen.

...

This task activates and deactivates the workaround landscape mode :)

I hope some one can create something what can solve it and its possible to activate it without the workaround hmm
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Technical:
Hi, bear with me, new at Motorola.

1. What are the slots A and B that we have inside TWRP? How to flash a ROM "inside" of both slots (as it is written in some sites)?

2. Can we upgrade an unlocked bootloader? I mean, phone starts at 7.1.1, we unlock, how to get the 8 (oreo) bootloader?

3. When we move to Android P, can we upgrade an unlocked bootloader to the next Android version?

4. Does rooting affect the OTAs? If so, what should we do to get them?

Thanks.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Uzephi:
1. Slots are only for seemless updates. Don't worry about anything else. Just flash once and reboot.

2. What? Just flash all to stock and you can update to Oreo. You need to OTA.

3. Same as above: through OTA.

4. Yes. Any modifications to any petition besides /data will cause OTA failures. Just use a "back to stock" method to get OTAs to work.
[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] 41rw4lk:
1. The phone has dual slots for seamless updates, when you apply an update it goes to the other slot and is optimized and checked. Then it is booted, in theory one slot should always be a build behind, but that wasn't well thought out and has caused problems (good job moto). If you're thinking dual boot two roms, probably won't work as the data is shared by both slots and **** will ensure if two different roms try to play in the same sandbox. A lot of the zips around here flash to both slots to avoid that problem. In short, it shouldn't be tampered with unless you have a reason and know what you're doing.

2. An unlocked bootloader is unlocked until it is relocked (not advised) or unless moto ****'s itself and relocks itself. It has happened before. To upgrade to oero, as long as you are bone stock you can update OTA. If not, you can check this thread and download the appropriate files and do it manually.

3. In theory yes. If moto releases an update for us or if our devs build it.

4. If you root or flash a custom recovery, anything that modified the original checksums then OTAs will fail. If you want OTA then you need to be bone stock and you should check this thread.

[Moto Z2 Force  Questions & Answers] Technical:
Many thanks for the responses.

But I'm really afraid of bricking my phone. I've done this before with 2 Motorolas...

User had a Moto Z2 and just after entering it (Android 7.1.1), go flashing DU (https://plus.google.com/communities...5/stream/2a745c1e-aae6-4b50-93dd-14417258d7ce) followed by TWRP.zip according to the guide. Phone bricked and the user can't even go to flashboot mode.

How can we solve it? I mean, Asus has FlashTool to recover a dead messed phone (even partitioning it, even if you cannot boot or get into recovery, or flashboot). Samsung has ODIN. Can RSELite do the job? As far I could read, you need, at least, get into flashboot mode. If something messes, you're locked out. Is it right?

Anyway, as far I could read about, both slots must be at the same Android version, otherwise, phone does not boot.

How to "flash to both slots" one after another?
