[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Cool Person:
Don'r buy a phone with snapdragon if you want custom rom. I don't care for custom roms because Note 8 is already strong so I bought SD Version for gamecube/wii emulation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nicholes:
You mean i should go for exynos, only.( no matter what model number it is)

And

In other words, No snapdragon can be rooted (Am I right?)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BluePhnx:
Yep any SM-N950F and SM-N950F/DS and SM-N950N are exynos and have bootloaders unlocked

The snapdragons from USA/Canada SM-N950U and SM-N950U1 and SM-N950W are bootloader Locked. But can be rooted but this is a huge but if your on bootloader v4 and up you CAN NOT root your phone.

Bootloader v3 and below CAN BE rooted. But no twrp recovery.

But there are snapdragons that have unlock bootloaders SM-N9500 which comes from China and Hong Kong.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] bluecub1st:
Something i don't see many people talk about but i regret myself doing.

If you are looking for the dual sim option it is possible to convert SM-N950F to dual sim or just buy a SM-N950FD.

But if you are trying to mod/convert SM-N950F to dual sim it is easier to do it with knox 0, trying to do it with knox 1 will get you into more troubles. I regret triping knox before converting to my note 8 into dual sim as i have brought the equipment and it doesn't work with knox 1. Modding this phone is a nightmare with binary 4 (SM-N950F), 7 day oem unlock wait every flash/factory reset. The date change to unlock may not always work due to patch.

Personally i think this is a great phone but is a nightmare to work with. If your interested in intensive modding with this phone may not be for u.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
The 7 day timer has a workaround to skip the waiting period (posted as a sticky here), as well as a fix that can be flashed but it also now included in most custom roms. Aside from that people shouldn't have any issues rooting or modding the Exynos variants.

Trying to convert a single sim phone to dual sim would require copying the imei which is illegal. That type of modding isn't supposed to be easy or encouraged, by design.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] nicholes:

Granted, people can/should do their research before posting questions that have been answered many times over. Or easily searchable. There is nothing wrong with asking a question(s) pertaining to their individual circumstance. It's not just as simple as "educating" themselves when they are asking other's opinions and validating the information they have come across. This site is not a Wikipedia... It's also a community where people can go looking for help or advice. Your response neither helps or adds anything to this subject. There are people out there who don't even try or make an attempt to search before posting questions that have been asked a million times over. I don't feel that this is one of those posts. As for the "community" part I mentioned earlier, we are community that "should" be helping inform and educate people. I know the site has grown a lot over the years in popularity, increasing the number of lazy users making redundant and unnecessary threads. This too sadly has increased the amount of unhelpful, rude and egocentric users. I wish you could have been a little more constructive in your reply. Or, even if sarcastically, added some kind of relevant help. If only just to help any future users that don't even try before creating those unnecessary threads you/I see all the time.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] uaevuon:
I recently bought used hdx 8.9" 3rd.

Lineage 14.1 is installed.

Any problem with this rom? If so, want to go back to stock fire os.

I found this from here :

audio is imperfect but generally not objectionable (most noticeable with headgear)

What does this mean?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
There are many subtleties with custom ROMs for this device that generally do not prove bothersome to users. Audio imperfections (slight hiss and crackling engaging/disengaging pause) are an example. FireOS is no gem either given its age and KitKat base. Recognize you have a 5 year old EOL device. Like a used car it will have a few warts. Enjoy.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] uaevuon:
Ok. One more question.

Any difference about performance and stability among RR, Lineage, AEX, etc?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Nope - all are fully featured and run well on 3rd gen HDX hardware. There are, of course, subtleties that distinguish each Nougat variant. I run AEX as it is a close facsimile to AOSP. Some like the customizations in RR others prefer the familiarity of Lineage. Can't go wrong with any of them.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] uaevuon:
I installed AEX and enjoy it. Except one problem..

When I watch videos, it keeps tearing.

I love watching video with youtube app, but it makes me annoyed.

Why is it happening? Only my problem?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
I have not heard of this problem before on HDX 7 or 8.9 devices nor personally experienced it. However, my video engagements are limited and usually occur via browser (YouTube app is a bit chunky for my tastes). Don't have an immediate explanation.

There is a modded APK that allows you to install the game but once you land it will kick you saying something along the lines of "Blah blah blah, you are either on a VPN/proxy or on a unsupported device". I think right now the game is only supporting samsung devices even though the game supports many other devices. We will just have to wait unfortunately.

The new update has upgraded it to somewhat playable. Things still take to long to render in game and the controls are laggy. I assume this has to do with the performance issues I'm still experiencing.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] Odeira.Oloap:
For one thing, not everyone has the money to buy Asus Zephyrs and Razer Blades to run Fortnite with actually good graphics and framerates.

And is it even compatible on the NVIDIA Shield?

Sidenote. I still maintain that the Nintendo Switch is still THE best way to play Fortnite on-the-go...
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] gusteez:
I do play the PC version, but I'm looking for a mobile solution outside of the Switch.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] BROKEN1981:
The Nvidia Shield console cost around $130, has the Tegra X1 which is also in the Nintendo switch. incidentally the Nintendo switch was actually supposed to run Android from CyanogenMod Inc.

when you say mobile do you mean Android or while away from home?

I've cleared cache/data, made sure downloads app was enabled, reset app settings, disabled the play store, installed an earlier version using an apk, I even booted into safe mode and still I can't get Google Play Store to work.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] hakkai999:
Hi I have an H990DS running Super Rom V20 V4.1 and before all my songs on my SD card would automatically be detected by the default music player but now it won't. It's weird considering that if you tap the three - icon on the top right then go to Folders it would say that its detected some songs within the correct folders it used to have but when you open the folder (still on the music player) it will say No music.

The songs are definitely being read by the device as the File Manager is able to play them, just not the default player. Anyone know what could be wrong?

EDIT: I was able to fix this by simply using File Manager to move all my files to another folder. No idea what happened honestly. I just hope my SD Card isn't dying because it's a 200GB one that I got for free when I bought my LG V10.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] AzleeKarliff:
I believe to flash back to China Rom which version is less than 9.5.17 or should I say the ROM without rollback enabled is prohibited by Xiaomi unless you have the EDL Authorization access in your account. I'm not sure how to get this EDL authorization. People are saying that if you have this EDL authorization you may flash to any rom. If I'm wrong, please do correct me.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] bassbounce:
Sorry to say, but I see hundreds of reports the last days about bricked phones.

Mostly about the Xiaomi redmi note 5 pro and the Xiaomi Mi 8.

Xiaomi doesn't want to give authorization for edl. so sorry to say but you can trow your phone in the trash bin.

Nothing will solve your problem due Xiaomi policy, u can't repair your phone it useless.

Xiaomi official statement is buy our products in your region.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Jeik:
You should have flashed a Xiaomi.eu rom. They are completely translated, without any China stuff and aren't as aggressive when it comes to flashing things alongside the kernel and system ( for example, you get to keep TWRP even after the flash, unlike pure stock ).

A lot of people mentioned an EDL account but you have to wait for a decent amount of time to get approval from Xiaomi. Don't throw your phone away like the guy above said. xD

As the title suggests, I'm wondering if real world performance will be impacted by the RAM difference. I don't need the storage (512gb... Wow!) because I have a huge micro SD card anyway. But is it worth the price to upgrade the ram RAM? I'm thinking probably not. What do you all think?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] OutCastedSheep:
yes, i would like to know how they will performs too.

i am hesitating to paid almost 300 bucks for extra 2g of rams if the performances are not significant.

(but i know, i am gonna end up buying that anyway, god, my OCD).

sorry, if i may, i like to add a question since this is about the Rams thread.

if i pick the phone with native 512g. storage, that is the one guarantee to have 8g of rams?

ordering from the samsung USA.

because the site have no indication or information of what model has what ram, anyone can tell me does the USA version with 512g is the 8g ram?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] xdaman85:
You're not just paying for 2GB of extra ram, you're also paying for 384GB of extra storage space. From what I've heard., the USA version doesn't even come with 8GB of RAM (yet), so you'll just be paying the extra for the higher capacity storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
No, real world performance will not be impacted by the 2 GB extra RAM. 8 GB of RAM would come in handy only if you are running so many intensive applications with some game playing side by side which is unlikely. That Extra RAM is kinda future proofing but it's a "distant" one, I would say. That nand flash storage speed is significantly higher than an SD card, but if 128 gigs internal is enough for you, it's not worth making that extra big hole in your pockets imo.

Though it's shown with an asterisk, it's clearly mentioned in the "Performance" section of Note 9 that,

6 GB/128 GB only.

8 GB/512 GB only.

indicating if you are buying the 512 GB storage model then it has to be the 8 GB RAM variant.

Bigger SSD is faster than same manufacturer/model smaller SSD. Right?

Does it work the same way in phones?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] drmacrofish:
Agreed man. The 512GB storage is way overkill. Wish I could get the 8GB RAM with the lesser storage. I just cant justify the extra 250$ for an extra 2GB of RAM. (Yeah, I know you get the extra storage too, but I have no need for that.) Sigh. Likely, I will only keep this for 1 year anyways, so I don't worry about "future-proofing".

My thought is on all the speed tests, the 8GB version will be faster, but in real world performance, it most likely will not matter at all. Maybe in Dex mode, if you are using it as a PC? But otherwise, I doubt anyone would notice much of a performance difference.

---------- Post added at 09:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:35 AM ----------

This depends on how much of the drive you are filling up. Not really overall drive size. At least not noticeably so.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bat0nas:
People say that they won't be filling even 128GB of the internal memory.

So which phone will be faster: a 128GB phone with 70GB of data or 512GB phone with 70GB of data?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] drmacrofish:
Most likely will be the same unless you are getting closer to filling the 128 GB drive.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] funkydude101:
Yes usually the way more storage is added is by adding more storage chips inside, and they are usually arranged in parallel. So this opens up more read/write channels for the system to use simultaneously. So there should be a real world performance gain there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] nizmoz:
You don't have a clue what you are talking about. The US version does have 8gb on the 512gb model. It is all over every site you can order one from.

If the improvements that 6gb had over 4gb are anything to go by, I'd say it's worth it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] djinn415:
My question is, will battery life be impacted? Meaning does more RAM result in more battery consumption? I doubt anyone really needs 8GB of RAM, but like me, I like to have the top of the line specs, but if this will impact battery performance I may I just go with the 6GB version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Virgo_Guy:
For the same type of RAM, more RAM consumes more power in comparison to less RAM of the same type.

But, more RAM variant of the phone takes overall less power than a lesser RAM variant of the same phone if the user is quite a multitasker as more RAM helps in multitasking by keeping more apps & tasks opened giving less stress to the CPU as it doesn't have to work on re-opening them.

So, if you are quite a heavy multitasker, go with 8 GB RAM variant (as the CPU would get less stressed by not being used for reopening apps/tasks in case of RAM being full and thus saving power), but if you are not, go with 6 GB RAM variant to save power.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
I'm not so sure that will matter when it comes to multitasking. Android has a default of the amount of things that can be stored in RAM at the same time. It's also time based, meaning that after x amount of time, that active data is not stored anymore. At least that's how it ran last time I app developed for myself.

Now if Samsung engineered their way around that with the Note 9, that would be fantastic. The other issue or obstacle is that apps would need to actually support that feature. Some of them currently don't support backgrounding over an extended period of time, but I do believe the usual memory and data hog suspects do. Facebook, Snapchat, etc.

Ya know, I just realized it's been almost two years since I developed on Android. Wow! Take what I said up there with a giant Grand Canyon grain of salt. :eek:

8GB: better internal storage write performance, of course multitasking and longterm usage ( 2-3 years )

6GB: cheaper :D

In my opinion: N9 has some problems like buggy Exynos 9810 + Shannon modem ( higher temp and fast battery drain ) and battery capacity lower than listed specs ( reported by many mems ) so I don't think we should stay with it too long.

Conclusion: go 6GB version except you need more than 100GB storage in short term!
