[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Try to avoid charging it to 100% all the time. You can research it more online, but charging to 80% for example can extend the battery's life span over the long-term.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] xperiaking247:
As my s6 edge is rooted with Samsung info app I could see that i charged it around 1200-1300 times i think.

Only 20-30 times, i didnt charge it to 100%

That probably had the big impact on the battery then

Hi Guys! I just bought this tablet, and been trying to play higher than HD videos for days in multiple circumstances without succes.

what is going on?

i updated to the latest firmware,

latest youtube app, videoplayers (tried several)

in youtube app:

wont show options higher than 1080p

cant zoom in to 16:9 videos to get rid of letterboxing.

I tried these videos, Patagonia 8K, etc. still only fullHD

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ChOhcHD8fBA

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPdWJeybMo8

also tried in video player app,

downloaded the above vids from youtube in WQHD and 4k resolutions : bad playback, stuttering

tried blueray rips, 2160p : extreme stuttering and freezups!

1440p : theres very few available in this resolution, movies etc. only found one, played ok, but sometimes stuttered also.

what am I doing wrong? or this is a only fullHD capable tablet with a bigger screen stacked on?

thx :highfive:

ps: this is the one of those I tried, with very heavy stuttering, while I also cut the first 20 so minutes and removed 2 audiostreams from the 3 to make it easyer on the rig, but to no avail...

Hi,

My xda account is relatively new and every time I post here I have to deal with this horribly annoying google capture crap, which also works pretty poorly in my setup. As I understand it, if one earns enough "thanks" the horrible google captures go away. So can you help me, could you thank me for nothing so I have enough thanks to get over the capture threshold?

I'm planning to flash experimental Lineage OS ROM on my phone, which means I may have questions during or after the flash, so I really would prefer not to deal with the captures during this process.

Thanks in advance

[Off-topic] greerdd:
There is an obvious problem here: to make high quality posts one needs to be able to post them and that simply may not happen with this google capture garbage.

In my case though, one of the mods, I think, disabled captures on my account and for that I am grateful. Thank you, whoever you are.

Its not hard to browse the forum and posts a few posts that contribute to the discussions, without posting nonsense. Not difficult at all really.

Millions of members have done it in the past with no issue. ;)

And again, thanks mean nothing at all. No, they don't unlock restrictions either. :good:

If it was easy I would not have bothered creating this thread. Or do you really think I'm after free thanks?

Here's a suggestion, if you care to hear it: Replace[1] this google capture nonsense with locally hosted solution, on the page state clearly what captures require to work properly (Javascript, cookies, external hosted images, etc).

Anyhow, my problem is resolved, whoever did this - thanks.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] mulsjo:
Hi all,

I factory reset my phone, and when I tried to restore my tasker data, I found out that I had made the wrong kind of backup. Some months ago, I created a <TaskerData.txt on my Google Drive, and from what I see, it contains my tasker profiles and tasks etc.

However, I don't know how to restore it. A three year old post told me to save it as .xml but Tasker does not accept it when I try to import it. I also tried renaming it to .prj.xml, but then I got the message 'a project with that name already exists'.

t took me a REALLY long time to create the task, and I am not able to replicate it now :(

The xml file can be found on drive.google.com/open?id=0B3vpU2RTv0PSdUJMQWhLZ2M4VU0

Please, could anybody help?
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] mulsjo:
Wait, I found the solution myself... Just copied the various projects and tasks out of the xml file into new files with names ending in prj.xml and tsk.xml... And now I can import them one by one.

[Android General] emmanuelGodwin:
Alright guys, so its been pretty long that i posted some good stuffs here.. now who missed me..

Okay so in case you don't know, there is a new phone in town, and there is a pretty cool very special thing about it.. It is called the Oppo Find X, and it comes with a complete end to end bezeless screen without a notch.. see some photos below.

Now the question you should be asking is where are the cameras.. I won't be saying on that.. just take a look at the photos below once again..

So like you have seen, the new Oppo Find X comes with the cameras built into a separate motorised compartment that slides up when you open the camera app and slides back in when you exit the camera app.. pretty cool right..

Okay like we used to do it before, we've already written a comprehensive and interesting article about the new Oppo Find X, so for those who wish to know more about it, please Follow The Link Below To see all you need to know about the new Oppo Find X.. In brother Shaggi's voice.. Taink You.

[Blu Studio 5] 69Rixter:
Afternoon:

I'm looking for some help. Got a Studio 5.0C HD that's stuck in bootloop and won't/doesn't power off. While in bootloop no buttons work(volume, on/off, home nor menu) I'm able to get into "hard reset" (6-7x), but it doesn't do anything to help. It did,

once

, get past boot, but it didn't last. As soon as I took it off the comp, it reverted back to bootloop. What I've tried, so far... 6-7 hard resets; 1 soft reset. This would be a decent phone, if I could just solve this issue. So, looking for someone who knows these phones and could lend some good advice.

It'd be appreciated.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Youssef93:
Hi everyone, I have S8 with the following configurations.

- Model Number: Sm-G950FD

- Android Version: 8.0.0

- Baseband Version: G950FXXU2CRF1

The battery drainage since the last 2 updates is absurd!.

I leave the phone on while sleeping (no wifi, mobile data or AOD) & it can lose up to 40%.

A 100% battery can make me go a few hours before it hits Zero if I'm using my phone.

I dont think this is normal at all.

P.S. I tried the following solutions with no use.

- Disable Chrome

- Format cache partition

- Factory Reset

[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] MY00:
My device is a BKL-L09

Previously running cr6.1 (8.1)

When I tried flashing a new Kernel(Radioactive) thinking it might fix the safetynet CTS profile mismatch, it (or actually I) broke something so that now I can't boot into the custom recovery or the system. eRecovery seems to work just fine (except that it, well ... doesn't since I have the international version where restoring is a non-working option).

That being said I can't really boot anything and I've already been looking everywhere on how to boot(not unlock) into the BL from shutdown. But all didn't work.

Does somebody have a working BKL-L09 and can look into booting it?

Edit:

eRecovery boots everytime after 3 times of bootlooping.

The phone will restart on it's own after having it shutdown after 15!! seconds of pressing the power button (is this behaviour normal?) and the only way to shut it down for good is selecting "shutdown" in eRecovery.

No matter the other buttons, pressing VOL UP will always boot the update installer, which will always output "Software install failed! (get help from...)"
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] kpirnie:
can you either delet this thread or delete your post in the kernels thread... no need for duplicates mate.

i also posted your solution... search around for how to get into fastboot mode (it can be trucky, but it us possible with some patience)

and the fastboot flash both your backed up stock kernel.img and ramdisk.img
[Honor View 10 Questions & Answers] MY00:
Sorry, I must've missed the L04(too thrilled :cyclops:).

But I don't really care about the data (of course I would like it back, but... priorities), and right now I have a broken phone that won't boot into BL nmw.

List i tried:

Vol down; 3s; cable

Vol down; cable

Same with vol up and vol up/down

just power on loads erecovery after a bit

Vol up gives installing update

I think I somehow broke my BL.

Is a kernel pre or past BL on boot? (Pre, isn't it..?)
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] gaww:
After Echoe stating they would not support S9's, one of the developers bought one - and an Echoe deodexed TW has appeared. Following that, Ael custom kernels also did. The first odexed ROM came out July 3, and now is in deodexed 3rd version, as is the kernel.

Over here, we have some good stock only based TW (aka Samsung Experience) ROMs, but the only one (RENOVATE ICE) is not currently supported. But this one is being aggressively developed, with more modifications to come. It is currently based on BRF8.

It instructs doing a pretty complete wipe, but as I was on an XDA BRF8, I only wiped system and caches and then flashed it - came right up. So far, I have not had any occasional reboots (which I had on the other ROMs I had tried and were using).

So if you want to try something different - go to their website and check it out. You have to be a member to access it, but for $10 - its worth it.

For Echoe haters - forgetaboutit.

It is a custom rom based on latest Samsung update, but it is deodexed, so allows it to have many mods.

If you are just starting, I would recommend starting here for awhile. After trying a few ROMs here, then take a look at Echoe.

If that doesn't work, ask them on the website - you are a member and I have done so myself.

Note- v2 cannot be used with the S9 kernel, as its base has not been updated. You could use latest kernel (1.04) with v1.1, but it is not on the thread anymore. If you wanted to try it, ask them in a post to set up a link and explain why.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] partcyborg:
Every one of those roms are Oreo or P betas. There is no treble for earlier versions of Android.

As for not being able to access the treble forum, you should ask in the help section as something is definitely broken, there aren't any restrictions in those forums above what gets you in this one

But as you said you aren't looking close enough to notice so I guess you aren't being serious in you criticisms

I currently have a rooted Note 8 running Android 7.1.1 Nougat, running build NMF26X.N950USQ2BQL5. I am trying to update it to Oreo. I have installed Odin v3.13.1, v3.12+ (PrinceComsy), and v3.12.3 with no success. I have extracted the firmware from SamFirm and downloaded from a third-party source and nothing.

My issue is when I run Odin, either I get stuck on Setup Connection or beforehand. I have never gotten past this point. Device status currently says Custom. I have looked throughout this forum for some answers but couldn't find any. I apologize if this has been answered. Please direct me to the thread if this answer has been answered. Thank you. I have spent far too long working on this and it is really annoying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] me2151:
Not even related to the root.

Stuck at setup connection means theres a connection problem between the phone and computer. try a different usb port, usb cable, reboot comp and phone and try a different comp(this is the order of trying things)

You have installed the drivers?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] afjohn483:
I have, twice actually. I can't find the link to one I download, but I know it was the same as I previously download.

Here are the steps I have taken as I tried again today after the first response:

1. Run Odin as Administrator ( I tried the newest version today, v3.13.1)

2. Add each file to the corresponding location (AP to AP, BL to BL, etc.) using the latest firmware extracted from SamFail which I believe to be Oreo update from T-mobile)

3. Manually enter Download mode using Volume Down + Power button + Bixby button

4. Press Volume-up to enter Download mode

5. Connect via USB, to the computer using the USB ports apart of the motherboard itself

6. Click Start

7. After 2-3 minutes, failed. And that happens at least ten times in the last two days. No matter if I switch USB ports, change cables, restart the computer, restart the Note 8.

So I switch to a new computer and the same error. I follow another guide which stated I need to first update to N950USQS2BQK2 then ADB Sideload. I tried updating, but Odin didn't see the files. Only when I first extract them, it would briefly see it then go away completely. I realize I was already on that update and tried to sideload, got an error twice when it first started to unpack the file. I tried to use Odin to the latest update for the Note 8, same error. I genuinely don't know what to do anymore.
