[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] tech_head:
Did you clear all the data for Bluetooth and get rid of paired devices?

That might help. I had issues and needed to get rid of all previous connections.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] autosurgeon:
Factory reset.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] HiM@L:
since this is the freshly flashed factory image phone i had no other Bluetooth devices paired.

update:

you r right.

although it was clean install...i had connected it to my fitbit. i cleared that and now, its connecting.

thanks.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] HiM@L:
its the freshly flashed factory image device
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] jim380:
I had the exact problem with my 2013 Subaru Crosstrek. The trick that did it for me is,

1) Pair the phone with the car. Car will most likely say "connection failed". If the car is already in the paired list, "forget it" then re-pair.

2) Reboot the phone and try re-connecting on the car again. Don't delete the car from the phone's paired list this time. Leave it as is.

3) It should be able to connect now.
[Essential Phone Questions & Answers] mervinb:
I am seeing an issue as described by the OP. I paired up the phone successfully on my Subaru WRX 2015, but the phone doesn't connect automatically subsequently. I've not had time to check extensively but it seems that it's no longer able to connect to the car again.

Should be N9600 if they keep their standard naming nomenclature from previous models.

random question

do you know if any of the 512gb versions will be available with the unlocked boot loader, my nexus 6 is showing it age and i refuse to buy i phone i cant root
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] elevatorguy:
Is the latin american version the one that will work on verizon? If so what besides development do I give up by getting the SD version? If I would switch service to tmobil what version would you recommend? Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] force70:
It should in theory as the snap has the modem which works on cdma where exynos does not.

There may be twrp for it and maybe a rom or two so not a total loss like the locked snaps.

Exynos works on Tmo but it is missing a band or two if memory serves me so you may not get 100% coverage or full speed LTE in all areas

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] elevatorguy:
Since you seem to be the guru on all these different versions and samsung in general. My question is can you enable/unlock (don't know the correct term) bands? I ask because the LA version will work for verizon it has cdma, bands 2 and 4 but is missing 13. Sorry if these are dumb questions I've never messed with Samsung stuff before. I imagine I'll have fun learning odin I regularly fight with adb :). Thanks for any help
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] force70:
Im certainly no guru just have owned alot of sammy devices lol.

If a modem is capable of the band in question i the past it has been possible to unlock it to allow for reception. You would need root for this and there was another tool we used years ago QPST....not even sure if it works on current devices though.

If the modem isnt capable like exynos for example has no support for cdma then nothing can be done.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] elevatorguy:
Guess I'll wait for awhile and see if twrp and root show up before I order may even try to wait long enough for the unlocking on bands. Have had nexus devices for years (still on a 6p)but I refuse to buy a phone without a headphone jack till I can charge and listen to music. Thanks again for your help

Here are the Model Numbers, Country of Manufacturer, Chipsets and Carriers. Haven't seen the different 128 Gb and 512 Gb with unlocked bootloader- Global (Exynos) and Hong Kong (Snapdragon) designations. In the past Samsung would number SM-*9600 as the base model and SM-*9650 as the premium model.

https://www.techwalls.com/samsung-galaxy-note-9-sm-n960-model-number-differences/

Also I haven't seen the 512 GB version on ebay yet and a number of carriers in the US have sold out preorders for the 512 Gb model.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] comonc:
I was told by AT&T that they will unlock the Note 9 for me after 2 months of service (no charge). Will I be able to use their model to install TWRP?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] varcor:
The 512 Gb? Only place I've seen them for sale is on Samsung's site.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
That is SIM/Carrier unlocking,totally different from bootloader unlocking.

It (Bootloader unlocking/TWRP) ain't happening for US models of any kind.

If development is important to you,you'll need to get/import an Exynos version.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] varcor:
If Samsung follows previous interations probably not, in the past only Global (Exynos), Latin American and Hong Kong (Snapdragon) variants have unlocked bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] comonc:
Well that's just great!!! Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
IIRC,the last US flagship models that had any meaningful development was the Galaxy S6 & Note 5 (BTW,were powered w/Samsung's Exynos chip).

Not to knock any developers who worked on later models,but,their hands were/are tied as far as developing on US Qualcomm powered devices.

Wish it were different,all of us do,but,there's no sign of this changing.......
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
It seems the Latin American Varient is missing from that list. I believe it is SM-9600z. It should have all of the US bands, a Snapdragon, and hopefully an unlockable bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] varcor:
Yes, the lists seem incomplete. Ebay has 128gb and 512gb for preorder but none ready to ship.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] elevatorguy:
No worries. I just figured I have a better chance of getting one more lte band working getting all cdma bands to work. Guess I could still change carriers but have no idea how good tmobil is in the DC area. Thanks again

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
Will those work on Verizon though??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
The Snapdragons will. The S9 and S9+ were also able to use the Latin American versions and unlock the bootloader. I'm shocked there wasn't more talk about it. From what I understand, they just had to flash the Puerto Rico firmware to get signal. I've got my eye on one of these Note 9 Snapdragons on eBay. I just want to be sure the Puerto Rico firmware is available before I do.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] force70:
Exynos no of course not.

Snapdragon N9600 not sure, never come across anyone who tried one on cdma although the modem supports it

Would love to know once someone figures out if we can get our hands on a VZW model in which we can unlock the boot loader on.

Thanks :D

You can try skimming the Note 8 forums. I'm sures people there who have tried using the unlocked bootloader version of that device on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] vIgGeN7:
I was hoping to get a note 9 not the 8
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
I know. You missed the point of my post. The devices are quite similar so checking out if the Note 8 version with the unlocked bootloader version works on Verizon.

Actually the S9 might be a better one to check to see if the versions work how you need. If the unlocked bootloader versions work on Verizon, the Note 9 should work as well.

The S9 and S9+ were the first international models that were Snapdragons. Well, that had USA firmware that supported the bands that is. Samsung threw us a bone it seems with the last 2 releases. The Note 8 didn't have the option though. The only unlocked Snapdragon on the Note 8 didn't have an unlocked bootloader.

well, i've been doing some thinking and i have decided that i will wait a bit to buy one even though i want the 512GB snapdragon Latin america version sooooo............ badly. Basically i have been burned multiple times in the past buying new phones thinking they would have unlocked boot loaders only to find out once they arrive that they didn't. Which is why i'm still nursing along my nexus 6 from 2014 with a slowly failing battery.

First person to get 512GB snapdragon note 9 that they have personally unlocked the boot loader on please reply to this thread or send me a pm letting me know which model number and where they ordered it from. Until then ill have to wait, i cant afford to be dealing with restocking fee's right now.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Lala&Peril:
Hey guys, so I've been doing research on whether the carrier or manufacturer is responsible for bootloader lock and never found a clear answer.

A few weeks ago, Oneplus is always known for unlocking bootloader, and tons of development. for the first time ever, they paired up woth t-mobile and if you buy from tmobile, the bootloader is locked (you can unlock it by a lengthy process) as well as they suspended the seeding program for rom development temporarily. If you buy directly from oneplus, the bootloader is immediately unlockable as normal.

This pretty much screams that carriers are responsible for bootloader locks, to me. So that being said, I highly highly doubt this (as I couldn't find and answer) but doesn't that mean if I buy straight from samsung.ca or usa site, the boot loader would be unlockable?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Nope. NONE of the US or Canadian Snapdragon models have an unlockable bootloader, no matter where you buy them from. ONLY international models.

[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] Master_T:
Hi everyone

I've been using aosp-based roms for ages on my mi5 and one of the features that I love is the "night mode" that AOSP has, where the screen turns "amber" during night time to preserve eyesight

Now, I've switched to miui 10 to try it out, but one of the things I don't like is it's night mode ("reading mode" as they call it). This is because, instead of veering towards warmer "amber" colors, miui's reading mode turns everything "greenish". It's very unappealing and I don't find it relaxing like aosp implementation, to the point where I'm wondering if it's actually a bug. I mean, isn't night/reading mode supposed to suppress blue light? To me Miui's reading mode seems more like it's removing the red component instead... Is it just because I'm used to aosp or is it implemented badly?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Syed Shahriar:
You all know that, now Mi phones will have anti rollback features while upgrading to MiUi 10.

Though A2 is stock androud, will it face any such kinds of restrictions somehow??
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AlexX333BY:
There is good post describing rollback policy in Android. Mi A2 was released with Android Oreo, so we need someone with phone who will check support of Verified Boot using adb commands provided in post:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Syed Shahriar:
PS E:\platform-tools> adb shell

>> dumpsys package | grep "verified_boot"

jasmine_sprout:/ $

this is output, every time i type the code
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AlexX333BY:
I suppose that means no Verified Boot. Try another command, just in case.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Syed Shahriar:
tried both, same result
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Sithu Htun:
Enter fastboot.

Type "fastboot getvar anti".

If none, the phone is not under Anti-Rollback policy.

If 2 or 3, it is under ARP, but is not yet activated.

If 4 or above, it is surely under ARP, and is already activated.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] matchung:
it shows "2" on my device (4GB/64GB, HK).
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] Sithu Htun:
Be sure to check it before downgrading. Upgrading is okay.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Didn't see this thread (need to del the one I started just now), but yeah, mine also says '2'.

Sad to see that, didn't think the A2 would have this.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] kadu20es:
I was on V9.6.10.0, installed the OTA update (v9.6.12.0), tried to root with Majisk and things gone wrong. So, I flashed v9.6.10.0 again.

This counts as a downgrade?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Not sure, but knowing they've implemented this on the A2, I'd be ** extremely ** cautious. If it bricks, sounds like a serious pia to fix.

Boot to fastboot and type 'fastboot getvar anti'. If you get a number back, then it's been implemented on your phone. If you get nothing back then it's not yet implemented. It's possible this was just introduced?

If you flashed 9.6.10 successfully, try above command and see if it's implemented in that version.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] ILA:
That 2, 3, 4 is just the counter. Once you unlock the bootloader, ARB should be off in Android One phones.

Here's everything you need to know about it:

https://www.xda-developers.com/xiaomi-anti-rollback-protection-brick-phone/
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
From the Frequently Asked Questions at the bottom of said article:

<quote> Why doesn’t Xiaomi disable anti-rollback protection when you unlock the bootloader?

That’s a good question. </quote>

In Other Words: the article indicates it does not disable ARB after an unlock. Where do you get that it's disabled on their Android One devices? Because the article doesn't say that. I certainly hope it's true though.

Maybe someone with an unlocked bootloader can verify the fastboot query does not return a number?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] ILA:
From here:

"The biggest difference between Google and Xiaomi’s implementation is that Google’s anti-rollback protection is disabled if you unlock the bootloader while Xiaomi’s can’t be disabled. Once you install a build with anti-rollback protection enabled on a Xiaomi device, there’s no going back.

Hi everyone,

For anyone out there that won't be trading in a phone and paying full price, it looks like B&H has the best deal on the Note 9 that's compatible with T-Mobile U.S.A. They are throwing the new QI wireless charger duo, a dex dock and the AKG headphones (although via rebate :()

My question: How's Samsung's software updates for their unlocked phones? I know they caught some heat in the past for doing quarterly security updates instead of monthly which they have now fixed but is that true for their major OS updates? I don't want to be stuck on 8.0 till this time next year when 9.0 is starting to roll out now..

Anything else I would be losing by going the unlocked route? I have TMobile here in the U.S and the specs sheet pretty much covers everything including bands 66 and 71.. I'm assuming wifi calling is a given although it doesn't say so..

No tax and the additional freebies have me lingering on the preorder click button.. What say you? :cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rajil.s:
Avoid T-Mobile since it would come with a locked bootloader. I am still rocking a Note-4 on TMO since the bootloader was unlocked. It is probably better to get an international model of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mike2518:
I'm on the fence as the OP as well. Has band 71 been totally confirmed for the US unlocked version!?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] robroy90:
It is my understanding that the international version will have full band support for the US-Based GSM carriers (AT&T and T-Mo) but not for CDMA (Verizon and Shint).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jayr04:
If I'm not mistaken, Carrier versions get the update from Samsung, after Samsung does their tweaks, and then the carrier puts their little changes, and then the update rolls out. Unlocked versions should get updates sooner since there's no carrier involved right?
