[Android Head-Units] flavien317:
Hello,

I want to buy an android head unit from Joying company. The thing is I don't know if the one I will go is a good one. (https://www.aliexpress.com/item/-/32871599742.html). The 4gb is better than 2gb of RAM?

I read on some post there are FYT/ QD and also different MCU. Anyone can explain to me and tell me which is the best ?

Thanks in advance

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jorgepr13:
After a few years with my Samsung Galaxy Note Edge (AT&T) [SM-N915A], which wasn't bad until the last 6 months and then the inability to root it made it worse, I want to make my next upgrade worth it. I'm waiting for the 500 Gb version, and I want to be able to root it.

Of course, my eyes are on the Note 9, but which version should I buy?

International (SM-N960F)

International (SM-N960F/DS)

Unlocked

AT&T

T-Mobile

Sprint

U. S. Celular

Verizon

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 587.saboor:
International because it gets updates faster

And it has more development support (custom roms, kernels, etc)

Also ive been in this situation with the at&t note 4 ?

Looks like at&t doesnt want us to root our devices

So dont get at&t
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Critical Detox:
Simply put, If root is what you seek on Samsung devices these days, Don't get any of the U.S. carrier editions of the phone.

All of the U.S. Samsung devices ship with Snapdragons and Samsung has ultimately decided to lock all bootloaders on them as well, That's not to say that a Dev won't attempt to work on atleast a root method for Snapdragon devices but with a locked bootloader you won't be able to do much.

Samsung's also implemented a rather interesting tactic to deter rooting on Snapdragon devices, When they're rooted, The device will no longer be able to charge to 100% and instead will default to 80% only.

This can be demonstrated on the S8 and the Note 8.

The S9 Snapdragon U.S. variants still don't have root to this day, When and if it ever does, that same method may be usable to figure out the Note 9 as well, But don't get your Hope's up.

Now for the international and Unlocked devices they ship with an Exynos and subsequently unlocked bootloaders which allows for the creation of Mods, Roms, And the various other things most people root for nowadays.

All in all, You want an Exynos equipped Note 9, Hope this is useful for you.

Thanks,

Almost right after the the post I came upon this article

https://highonandroid.com/android-deals/best-deals-on-galaxy-note-9-new-galaxy-phones/

it goes a bit more in depth, covering GSM vs CDMA, when and where to buy it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
It seems that the Latin America Galaxy S9 and S9+ (SM-G9650) both had Snapdragon processors with an unlockable bootloader. You could then Odin firmware on them to be able to use them on Verizon, At&t, and T-mobile. I hope they will release a Snapdragon model of the Note 9 as well in Latin America! I need an unlocked bootloader on Verizon for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 587.saboor:
It doesnt matter anymore which type of note 9 you get, because there is gonna be root protection where imei and network flies if you root, like the a8 on oreo

And also i agree with you, US carriers (especially at&t) prevent root all the way up to the fact that you cant root at all (the at&t note4 has no root but all the other note 4's have root)

will an international work on USA carriers?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 587.saboor:
Yep, if its unlocked, if you lived in canada, it wont matter if its unlocked or not because you can unlock for free in canada
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
hmm wonder if it will work on verizon
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 587.saboor:
And i wonder which infinity wallpaper will be featured on the note 9
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Semantics:
I'm interested in the unlocked version instead of the T-Mobile, but I've read that the bands are not the same and wifi calling doesn't work. I'm over flashing ROM's, so that isn't an option for me. I'll probably get the carrier branded one to make sure I get the 600 band and wifi calling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 587.saboor:
You can though unlock the phone by visiting canada ? because you can unlock phones here in canada for free
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Semantics:
I can unlock the phone here for free. Why go to Canada? I buy my phones for cash. I'm not stuck with a locked phone. The only reason I would go with the non-branded unlocked phone is the lack of bloatware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 587.saboor:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] geoclooney:
I have the old gUDP plan so I need a phone that does NOT check for hotspot eligibility. I understand the unlocked Note 8 did NOT check, so it's likely the unlocked Note 9 would be okay as well. So I'm definitely stuck with the US unlocked version, right?

Geez, I kind of hate both Verizon and Samsung, but I want to stay on gUDP and want a good phone that will work for me out of the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
I also have gUDP plan on verizon and wondering same thing, do i get verizon note or unlocked??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] geoclooney:
My understanding:

Verizon model WILL check for hotspot eligibility and thus won't work for us.

International unlocked models will not work on Verizon's network.

Therefore, we're stuck with the US Unlocked model. It has a locked bootloader, and thus may never be rootable, but will work with Verizon and NOT check hotspot eligibility.

To be clear, at this point I just think it's very likely the US Unlocked model will NOT check hotspot eligibility. I will probably wait to confirm that before I pull the trigger.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
So unlocked model it is? And also does the 512 gb version come with 8 gb of ram in USA?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] CB620:
Yes
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mikevipe:
Can anyone else please confirm but I was informed by Verizon that you can NO longer use the international phones on Verizon. I bought a brand new Exynos Note 8 and attempted to activate the phone and it failed. CALLED Verizon and after several hours and calls was finally told only approved devices are now allowed in their network and any version not for retail sale in the US has its imei listed as not approved.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Shane818:
Is there somewhere I can confirm I'm getting the unlocked exynos? Or has it always been like that from buying unlocked Samsung site?

Edit US Samsung site

I think it's the N960F version is what I need for LTE to work on AT&T.....just not sure tho.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 587.saboor:
Just the only downside is canada is always last for firmware updates, so dont expect android pie on your device until all the other variants of note 9 are done updating

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BigMosley:
I had the Note8 Unlocked from Verizon and it worked fine, also worked on Xfinity mobile also. I believe the only think it was missing was WiFi tether that I never used anyway. If it's anything like the S9+ you can just flash the latest Verizon firmware and you'll get all the Verizon bloatware if you need it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
awesome to hear, can you use mobile hotspot without verizon check?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BigMosley:
Not 100% on that because I never used hotspot. If I still owned the phone or still had Verizon I'd check for you but I'm currently on the S9+ on T-Mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
no worries I dont use with my pixel now was just wondering, volte and everything work like normal on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BigMosley:
Yes and like I said if your missing Verizon's Visual Voicemail you can just flash the last Verizon firmware and get it back. I have the S9+ and I initially had it on Verizon with the Verizon bloat and switched to T-Mobile and I flashed the Unlocked firmware first then flashed the T-Mobile firmware and now I have a 100% T-Mobile phone now including the boot animation and bloatware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
ok cool and visual voicemail is not a concern of mine LOL hopefully somebody will find a way to root it but i doubt it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BigMosley:
Yeah don't hold your breath, if you have the Snapdragon variant I would just assume no root.

The only way to avoid that is to boycott google apps , take a look at the MicroG project :

I'm even skipping the microg project. I would like to avoid the Google empire as much as possible.

[Android General] comfortable:
Nice to see in video form what I'd like to think most of us here have known for years. Google profits from invading your privacy....constantly.

As do Microsoft, Apple and countless app/game developers and governments worldwide. The problem is the video offers no recommended solutions which of course start with root and removing all bundled Google apps and related infrastructure, along with manufacturer-bundled spyware. That's a good first step. As is sourcing apps from f-droid.
[Android General] sublimaze:
I didn't watch the video because I already know Google, your mobile carrier, and the government already track every move you make geographically as well as online. You can delete/disable your Google location history, but if you use a mobile phone, your geographical position is always known by your carrier, which in turn can be relayed to the government and police if they want it. There is no avoiding this unless you completely take yourself "off the grid", which >95% of people are not willing to do. Big brother is *always* watching you.
[Android General] Contentum:
Yeah, nothing new. Google, Facebook, Twitter, everyone is tracking you. It is better to ditch Google products and social media altogether. I personally use Duck Duck Go for searching, Protonmail for secure mail, Surfshark for a fast and secure VPN, Privacy Badger for managing cookies and always use Incognito mode.

Please help me fix my phone and i am willing to give away some steam keys, i am not very savvy regarding phone tech but i will be doing my best to follow instructions.

I will give you some background.

The phone (was my sister's) was factory unlocked for any carrier (which i didnt know) and for some reason it did not want to take my sim card, i started going crazy so i downloaded everything i thought i needed to unlock it and make it work with my sim card. After messing around with the phone and odin i screwed it all up so now it does not take any carrier at all, the IMEI is gone (but i still have the number on the phone's invoice) I really do not know what to do anymore, i even have updated Android to 8.0.0 but still can't get tit to work.

Hi everyone.

So I know that the DRM Sony has in place affects the camera. I'm also aware there's a DRM fix.

But apart from the camera, what else does the DRM affect? I haven't been able to find a list of what features/functions would be lost by unlocking the phone.

Also, if anyone has tried what features apart from the camera is restored with the DRM fix?

Thanks in advance!
