[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] varcor:
Based on specs I think it's an awesome device. Has more features, a better display, great battery and an improved camera. Beats any device out there at this time, assuming a major flaw doesn't surface over time. The Note 7 was a problem but Note 8 overcame those issues so that doesn't concern me. My daily driver is the S9 Plus and I have a work issued iPhone X which I rarely use. What has stopped me from buying a Note is it's size, just too big to be convenient which also leads to two handed operation. With the display only .2 inches larger than the S9 Plus, the Note seems much bigger than it should be for just a bit larger display, some of that due to internal storage requirement for the S Pen as well. Also the S Pen function isn't really compelling, doubt I would use it very often. I'll wait for the S10 which looks to release about 6 months out. It's being touted to be a revolutionary device however based on the rumors, Fingerprint on Display, Triple Lens Camera's, Bezeless Display, I don't consider upgrades of that nature revolutionary and it's been confirmed the S10 won't have 5G. No word yet on the chipset but it will likely be higher performance. Galaxy X looks to be the next truly revolutionary device from Samsung and it's slated to be released around the same time as the S10. I won't own it at release, preferring to wait a few months to see how the foldable screen holds up and a price drop as it's not going to be cheap. If it lives up to it's promises then I'll have the best of both worlds, a massive 7 inch display which easily fits in my pocket. If Samsung extends the series (there's rumors it won't) to a Note 10, it will be hard to justify with lower price and S Pen being the two major advantages.

I cancelled my order. I don't think the note 9 is around $600 better than the note 8. Priced was for trading in direct from Samsung USA.

I did a preorder with AT&T store today because Sam's Club will only have the 128Gb model. The 128Gb phone for my wife shows a delivery date between 8/21 & 8/23, but my 512Gb phone shows between 9/4 & 9/7. :(

I pre-ordered mine from Samsung. Only 2 colors available, Lavender and Blue. I went with the Blue 500gb model.

My Galaxy S8 note was stolen a month ago so I've been without a cell phone since then, waiting for the Note9. Insurance paid $770.00 for my claim! Can't wait for the note 9. I'm going to need a thick chain to secure this one to my hip.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] LukeyWolf:
I am currently on a 24 month contract have around 14 or 13 months left and plan on finishing the contract of by the end of the year, the question is, should I unlock the bootloader for root, roms etc.?
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] bombdog:
I'm in a similar position, half way through my 24 month contract with an eye what to get next and looking at ways to improve my device. The only reason I would want to unlock the bootloader, get root access etc. is to increase the volume of the speakers and to allow me to use a controller in PUBG! The stock experience has been pretty good for me and with security patches coming as quickly as on the Pixel devices I am not that bothered

The thought of having to sideload updates and muck about with DRM keys and such is just not worth it for slightly louder speakers and being able to cheat at PUBG. ;)
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] LukeyWolf:
Yeah, just wish Sony didn't wipe DRM keys whenever you unlocked the bootloader, I won't even bother with it anyway, I've survived this long without root or custom roms so I'm fine without
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Unlocking the bootloader effectively breaks your phone for forever. Luckily you can apply a fix to restore the higher functions.

The XDA Xperia threads are littered with cries for help from folk who can't get the fix proccess completed and have broken thier cameras.

You need to be aware that each time there is a firmware update, you'll need to embark on a whole new round of multiple flashes for firmware/kernel/fix. You're also at the mercy of a Dev who may or may not release the latest firmware fix.

Previously the reasons I had for rooting my phone were apearence and power saving. But you can tweak the apearence with Andromeda to get Substratum working.

The battery on these devices is brilliant out of the box. Having tried rooted and non rooted, the difference in savings in battery is minimal, just a few percent.

Add to that the danger that whatever banking/games you run will have a fit at the phone being rooted, I'd say it's not worth the effort.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
we unlock the bootloader mainly because

1. to gain root access

2. debloat the stockrom

however both actions will make our device OPEN for security threats and you have to look after device more since anyone can snatch and extract your personal data! so if you are mentally prepared for your XZP to become MORE DEPENDENT on you! (for updates and security threats) then yes please go ahead and unlock your bootloader

if it was me?

I will unlock my bootloader THE NEXT DAY I GET this DEVICE!

I am control freak and cannot live my life in Bloated stockrom where

1. so many apps cannot be disabled

2. whatsapp cannot send <16mb files :D

3. Lucky patcher cannot be run

4. adaway cannot do its magic

5. MixerPath.xml file cannot be MODDED for HIGH VOLUMES /system/etc

6. KCAL cannot be FLASHED

7. CFLUMIN unable to work properly for better colors

8. I cannot DISABLE SONY CONTACTS and REPLACE IT WITH GOOGLE CONTACTS ( on unrooted phone BOTH will be RUnning)

9. Try Different KERNELS for fun

very true!

and at the end I always find myself unlocking bootloaders :s
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] LukeyWolf:
Thanks for all the opinions!

Don't think I'll unlock it anyway!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] tboooe:
I like the idea of the new Smart Notifications feature that prevent viewing of notifications on the lock screen unless your face recognized. However, whats the point if the phone unlocks immediately anyway? Is there a way to only use facial recognition for Smart Notifications only and not unlock?
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] warpspeed86:
The way that worked for me is going under Face Unlock settings and changing "Direct Unlock" to "Swipe to Unlock". Now the phone reveals the "contents hidden" notifications without unlocking.

Hope that helps!
[Huawei Mate 9 Questions & Answers] p51d007:
LOL, when I got the update, I tried to register the face unlock. The only way I could get it to work, even without the reflections, is to take my eyeglasses off. Since I'm blind as a bat without them, I turned that "feature" off. I wouldn't use it anyway, I prefer the fingerprint sensor.
[Touch Cruise General] Novas:
Hi everybody.

Since a few days i am a happy owner of an Orbit 2.

I read that the built in gps has a "feature" called static navigation. As far as i know this is very useful while using TomTom in a car but not when walking around slowly. I like to use it for geocaching which means that i will not drive but walk slowly.

If i'm standing around and then do some steps in some direction the device seems not to notice (because of static navigation!?).

i tried to find something about this but didn't find a way to get rid of this setting.

i hope someone has an idea...

thanks
[Touch Cruise General] ---Alex---:
Tomtom supports walking speed too.
[Touch Cruise General] Novas:
it works when i keep walking.

the first 10 or 20m nothing happens. after this distance the program (BeeLineGPS for example) tells me where i am, how fast i am, how far away the next waypoint is and so on. even if i am walking 4km/h

but if if stop for some seconds and then start walking again it doesnt notice that i'm moving. but for geocaching i need feedback asap. if it says i am 10m away from the waypoint and i try to get closer it is annoying if you have to walk 15m before you get position updates.

i think this is because of the static navigation which stops calculating new positions under certain circumstances
[Touch Cruise General] GpsPasSion:
Actually "static navigation" is a setting at the firmware level of SiRF receivers http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=25575, what you're seeing is the lower performance of the Qualcomm/Antenna design of the Cruise/Kaiser, I wrote a detailed article on the Kaiser here -> http://www.gpspassion.com/fr/articles.asp?id=237&page=4
[Touch Cruise General] Novas:
Thanks for your reply.

So you're saying, that there is no Sirf in my Orbit and thus there is no static navigation which means that i can't switch it off? Did i understand this right?

this is somehow... :(

well i guess i will need to get an extra device for geocaching then...
[Touch Cruise General] GpsPasSion:
Correct, two problems, chipset and physics (small antenna) and yes you can get an excellent SiRFstarIII bluetooth receiver, with a datalogger to record where you've been, I quite like the BT-335 http://www.gpspassion.com/forumsen/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=97988
[Touch Cruise General] Novas:
thanks again for your reply.

i think i will buy a garmin device for geocaching then. this has the advantage that they are waterproof and i don't have to play around with my nice and shiny orbit in the woods :D

Update: Solved! It was a problem with AFwall+ and Android 9, not with android itself.

I used this as a workaround: https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=77302832&postcount=4612

-------------------

Hello all,

I recently updated my Pixel 2 to Android 9. Now, when I am connected to my wifi, it isn't used. Instead mobile data is used ):

What can I do about this? Is this a known issue?

Hint:

- There's an exclamation mark on my wifi symbol, but I also had this in previous versions, yet wifi was always used instead of mobile data!

- when I turn off mobile data, then wifi is used, so I can confirm that wifi connectivity is given - it's just not used when also mobile data is available.

Thanks for any hint on this!
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Olympus593:
You probably have a low quality connection with the router. Happens often in busy public wifi networks. Open the wi-fi settings, it usually tells a reason for the exclamation mark there.

It is my private wifi, connectivity is fine, same as before. In the wfii settings it says no internet connection, but that's not true. At least not for chrome. Play store refuses to work on wifi, guess it uses a different way to check connectivity.

no. nothing is filtered in my country.

Any ideas what I could check/do?

I mean bugs like camera, USB tethering etc. - functions with no fix because of missing blobs.

And for this USELESS question you opened a new topic? :laugh:
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] Shooting Star Max:
The USB tethering bug has been present since the Nougat builds. I guess there are just few developers, so they can't fix this issue.
[Moto G5 Questions & Answers] AyamDobhal:
There's no guarantee that the issues will be fixed as most of the Oreo ROMs are arm64 whereas Stock Oreo is arm. So the bugs might continue after that.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] danielwbn:
Hey people,

I'm getting mixed signals from my phone on whether it is encrypted or not and I would like to know how to find that out for sure.

My goal is to have a stock rom android 8 on my S7, rooted, with encryption.

I recently flashed the latest stock oreo build with odin, I don't remember if I let it boot once before the next step, but I think I did (I read the following thread only after I did this: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s7/help/to-magisk-data-encryption-s7-t3667007)

Then, I installed TWRP via odin, booted into TWRP, formated /data, copied the magisk v16.0 installer zip to the now mounted /data and installed it.

Next, I booted the phone and set up all my accounts and apps.

Finally, I looked into how to get Samsung Health running on the rooted phone and manually set the ro.config.tima property in build.prop to 0 (and I still have no trouble restarting the phone).

The result is, that the phone is rooted, TWRP can not mount /data anymore (which seems to be a hint that the phone is encrypted), but in the android settings, I still have the option to encrypt the device (right above the option to encrypt the sd card) and changing the tima property did not cause any trouble, which again seems to be a hint the phone is not encrypted.

Does anyone know how to check if the phone is now encrypted or not?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mobileanimal:
If /data can be mounted in TWRP, you aren't encrypted. I'm trying to do the same thing only in an S8, with no luck getting encryption working. If I try to encrypt using settings, the phone reboots after a few minutes on the encrypting splash screen without encrypting anything. It worked fine on an S7 with Nougat stock.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
First thing first. When following old guides, sometimes they still work, often a security patch has closed the loop. So it is always preferable you look for a guide which specifically mentions OREO and the firmware versions your using.

Secondly, flash latest stock Oreo for your region (preferably unbranded) then root via any Oreo root guide on the forum and job done. Phone on stock, rooted and encrypted. Encryption is enabled by default on INTERNAL storage of stock ROM, rooting or TWRP doesn't change that. SD card remains open until you encrypt.

TWRP reporting internal storage at 0mb because it's encrypted yay!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tweak_four17:
Hello,

I am attempting to use google remote desktop to connect my Samsung Galaxy s8+ (stock Rom, not rooted) to my windows 10 laptop to interact with an online game. Mostly for chatting or low key activities such as trading.

Everything seems to connect properly, the graphics and crisp and clear, the mouse works great, however the keyboard is not able to send any keys in game. If I open notepad I am able to send keys there so it seems as though the game is somehow blocking or not receiving the keypresses. Previously I've used TeamViewer to chat in game and that has worked fine (for the keypresses) however I've switched to Google remote desktop as TeamViewer has issues rending the game smoothly and mouse is quirky.

I'm running SwiftKey on my phone, but also swapped back to stock keyboard to see if that was the issue but even with stock keyboard I am unable to send key presses.

Does anyone have any idea why Google Remote Desktop would not be able to interact with specific applications and how to fix it?
