[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] androFRUST:
How is your selfie camera holding up to moisture and dust?

Read somewhere that its not even splash / rain proof to the point where a little water damages the camera module and then it starts to make weird noises. Im sooo on the fence with the Nex and note 9
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] kkiran:
Nex S is great on paper but the fingerprint beneath the screen is not always accurate. The software side of things are not great and the camera quality is terrible and worse in low light. I think Samsung Note 9 is the way to go if you care about longevity and perfection.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Goronok:
Maybe off topic, but can you reply to messages from lockscreen or notification panel with a swipe down on funtouch os?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] shri080:
I don't take a lot of selfies, so, the front camera is doing fine. I don't know how it will last in a long run though.

I saw in a review that the phone is splash proof.

I would say, go with the Note 9. I bought the NEX as I was just too bored with the Note 8 and the battery on the NEX is amazing. But I believe Note 9 battery should be considerably better than the Note 8 and I am sure the display and camera on the Note 9 would be definitely better than the NEX. So, IMHO Note 9 would be a better choice overall.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] parusia:
I ordered both phones the galaxy Note 9 and the Vivo Nex.

I ordered the Vivo Nex since July 31 from Gearbest, and I don't have that one yet, I still waiting for that phone.

I ordered the Note 9 on August 14, and I received that on Tuesday.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] fatouraee:
I got Note 9 512gb and it took me 2 days and I back to my global vivo nex.

Honestly, Note is not worth them money, Gave it to the wife.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] parusia:
I got my Vivo Nex 2 days ago, I planning to keep both. For me both phones are nice and definitely the Note 9 is worth the money.

I also got the Vivo X21, Note 8, P20 Pro, One Plus 6 and HTC 12+.

Vivo X21 sold yesterday on Swappa, One Plus 6 sold 2 weeks ago on Swappa, P20 Pro sold on Swappa 1 week ago, HTC 12+ sold this morning on Swappa. I planning to keep the Note 8 just in case.

I have serious problems with phones, well at least that is what my wife said.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] Abby 244:
I totally agree with her.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] fatouraee:
Me too :D

I still have iphone x, note 8, 2 xiaomi mi mix, Galaxy s9 plus, oneplus 6, p20 pro, pixel 2 xl sitting on my shelf. I used them time to time, but my daily is nex an mi mix.

My favorite phone of all time is mi mix but the camera is really bad and breaks easily. I have broken 2 so far and I have one that i use and another new one in a box for backup.

I joke with my wife that I should start a phone addicts anonymous.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
And Honor Note 10, Meizu 16 Plus. Both have a big AMOLED screen.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] ben cherian:
That's a nice review there. Am too from India.

Well there's another very important thing for Nex. In this smartphone business lot of people tend to forget or neglect one area and that is audio department. Currently two companion give emphasize on audio that is LG and Vivo . Vivo uses a high quality audiophile grade audio chipset from Cirrus Logic CS43199 http://eng.soomal.com/edoc/10100000237.htm

Here is a post taken from a respectable person from Head-fi website who are serious audiophile enthusiast

"Listening to nex s is sweeter mid than lg v30. NexS provides better Imaging and fuller soundstage. Nex S is warmer than lg v30 thus making music more natural. Nex S provides more bass detail while lg v30 focus on treble and character brighter."

Regarding os it's a major let down. That applish down quick setting toggle is nasty. By the way how is software support? You get bug fixes fast enough ? Or is it dead slow like LG ? Is there any lag in between app transition after a month usage?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] androFRUST:
Decided to get the note 9. Unfortunately EXYNOS variant. Didn't realise that they exynos variant had battery issues. Coming from a mix 2s which uses the 845sd with 3400mAh, I get similar SOT which is quite sad
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] rowihel2012:
I got the nex

Im happy

But camera is not great
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] z1c_wh:
I have this phone since a month and a half...after a Mix 2S and S9+.

Only the wi-fi strenght does not satisfy me and the camera is under the top of the range.

The Note then tempted me a lot because of the camera..and because I like the new UI Samsung.. but I resisted because the battery and size of the display on the Nex are very better.

Rather, the interest is for the Mi Mix 3, another bordless unlike Samsung... that does not innovate anything.
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] WhySoSeriousJoKer:
The battery is the best on the Vivo Nex :)

Are the Youtube tags broken?
[Vivo Nex Questions & Answers] paatha13:
I’m having 2 days the black regular version(6/128)note 9 as long Vivo Nex S together.

Well overall Note 9 is more complete and having the most hardware features in smartphone industry today.

Vivo Nex on the other hand has the WOW effect as offer unique design,3D underscreen scanner that works very reliable from my experience almost 2 months having the device.

I’m not a person who like taking selfie pictures but that pop up camera is sometimes brilliantly and works until now great.

As for the software differences I think Samsung experience has much more friendly and elegant UI and not those heavily iOS inspired Funtouch OS and much more useful feature like AOD and theme store superior to Nex.

No stupid restrictions with limited app notifications on AOD and theme store has double or triple amount of theme and most important you can find much more free and top quality theme than Vivo store.

Also you are having unlimited substratum theme support as you can find many themes that developers support Samsung Experience OS(Funtouch OS no substratum theme support at all)

Samsung also offering LDAC support that Vivo don’t(unacceptable for flagship device)

With OnePlus gesture app you can remove completely on screen navigation button and navigate through gesture navigation witch works surprisingly very well as I do work.

Also one more advantage of Note 9 is that you are having the ability to unlocked bootloader and get root very easily also you can flash different official rom within same region for example(Europe)

Vivo has that stupid restrictions not even let you flash global rom to Chinese version while are totally identical device from hardware aspect.

Total unacceptable policy by Chinese.

The only advantage of Funtouch OS is the off screen gesture support that I really like(but I hate Vivo doesn’t support WhatsApp support on Chinese version also email and browser doesn’t work with third party app like dolphin browser or gmail or outlook app)

The other advantage of Funtouch is the wonderful dynamic lock screen.

Really difficult decision with phone keeps at end as I really like both phones but in my opinion Note overall is better both software and hardware aspect compared to Vivo Nex.

The only advantage Vivo Nex compared to Note 9 from hardware aspect is battery life judging 2 days working only Note 9.

Here’s side by side both phones.
[Magisk] Mew:
Sorry for creating a thread about this, but I'm not sure if it goes under the bug reporting thread! If it's in the wrong place please let me know!

I've tried every solution that I've been able to find, none have worked! I've attached screenshots of the problems.

I haven't tried reflashing my phone with a stock ROM just because it'll be a lot more work than it's worth imo.

I've tried uninstalling Magisk, running the unSU zip to remove all trace files, but other people with the same error say it has to do with their internet somehow blocking the safetynet files?

If someone would please let me know why it's happening I'd really appreciate it!
[Magisk] Gold_Diesel:
I'm getting this as well but banking apps haven't kicked me out yet
[Magisk] DroidJP:
It's google. Their servers are wonky. It even fails when going back to stock completely. Save yourself the trouble and just ignore. As long as google play store still says certified, wouldn't worry about it. Dealt with this issue quite awhile and this is the conclusion.

Ignore or otherwise you be pulling your hair out with pass fail pass fail fail, or the reponse is invalid. So just ignore and happy rooting :)
[Magisk] Mew:
It's weird because when Pokemon Go came out with the SafetyNet **** it was bypassed just fine, but when I tried to get fortnite working it said this, and when I checked again it started saying I failed
[Magisk] Ariac Konrel:
Yeah, this happens pretty often lately.

I usually enable core only mode in the Magisk Manager settings, reboot, test safetynet, disable core only mode, and then reboot again.

Fixes it for a while (in my experience).
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
https://twitter.com/topjohnwu/status/1029239685338419200
[Magisk] Mew:
Oh thank you so much!
[Magisk] Mew:
So I won't be able to tell what's causing safetynet to fail? :/
[Magisk] LeMoise:
Bruh....it's not actually failing. Any app that requires the safety net check will still work. This just means Magisk uses an old API that is no longer in use so it can no longer check safetynet properly until its updated. If you passed safety net before you'll be passing it now.
[Magisk] mkdante381:
Put this in play store and install beta

pname:"org.freeandroidtools.root_checker"
[Magisk] johnconnor92:
This. Good way to check. My Google Pay still works.
[Magisk] e2vinay:
Thanks

it passes safety-net test
[Magisk] alceca:
Same situation for me, i have a xiaomi black shark new and can´t play fortnite, not rooted, it´s stock.

I try the root checker beta and get a cts profile: false, i don't understand why.

PS: i can play pokemon go and don't have magisk installed.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
CTS Profile reporting false means your device isn't certified by Google (China ROM?), you have an unlocked bootloader or you are using a custom ROM that isn't spoofing a certified device.
[Magisk] alceca:
It's a xiaomi black shark, it comes with joy-ui (it's similar to miui), it has a China-english ROM no global ROM has been release yet.

In the fornite compatible devices list the xiaomi black shark appear.

A friend with the same phone is in the same situation, is weird that the phone is in the list but get an error.
[Magisk] alceca:
do i need to install magisk or root the phone? i want to stay stock, there is no ROM to flash or unbrick yet.
[Magisk] Dreamer(3MF):
Yes, You Need To Install Magisk To Use The Modules.
[Magisk] vettean:
I have Magisk v.16.7 installed on both a Galaxy S5 (Marshmallow) and Galaxy Tab S3 (Oreo) and have been getting "The response is invalid" message for awhile on both devices when running the check on Magisk Manager. I have installed various of the SafetyNet checking apps from the Play Store and SafetyNet test fails on many, but does pass on a couple. I have found the the app SafetyNet Check has been reliable as it shows CTS Profile match and Basic Integrity pass on both my devices.

Just to be sure that the Galaxy S5 would work with Google Pay, I had installed the GooglePayHider4Magisk but don't think it was necessary.
[Magisk] Max_Terrible:
I have a completely stock device. Not rooted or custom recovery. I downloaded the app mentioned on the previous page and I still get safetynet failed. Clearly Google screwed something up.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Google haven't screwed anything up. They've just deprecated the old API, which means app using it no longer can check SafetyNet. MagiskHide still works perfectly for passing SafetyNet...

Here's my go-to app when checking SafetyNet, it's updated to the new API and works perfectly:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.scottyab.safetynet.sample
[Magisk] Max_Terrible:
Downloaded and tested and still fails.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
If it downright fails (CTS profile and/or Basic integrity) you have other issues. Here you'll find some tips: https://didgeridoohan.com/magisk
[Magisk] Max_Terrible:
As I mentioned in my first post, I'm completely stock. I'm not rooted at all. Not via Magisk or SuperSu and I don't have a custom recovery, either. I flashed stock firmware yesterday via Odin and I haven't made any changes to anything.
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Unlocked bootloader? If so, that's why...
[Magisk] Max_Terrible:
Nope. Not unlocked, either. I've actually been struggling to bypass the 7-day wait period on my Note 8. As a result, my phone is 100% as it was when I first turned it on when I got it. Like I said, I haven't made any changes or anything since the last flash. Just installed the social apps so I could at least talk to my friends in the mean time while I figure out what to do next.

Anyway, the fact that I fail SafetyNet doesn't bother me. I know it's not an issue, because I'm completely stock. Only reason I even decided to check it, was because of curiosity because I'm completely stock right now.
[Magisk] RichardEb:
When will magisk fix the SafetyNet check? Magisk check fails for me too. The suggested app says everything is fine
[Magisk] Didgeridoohan:
Don't bother with it... It has zero impact on MagiskHide's ability to hide from SafetyNet and is purely cosmetics.

It'll be updated when it's updated. Not a second before.
[Magisk] aydinbahadir88:
I have the problem too
[Magisk] neekless:
Why are people freaking out about this? Google changed the safetynet api so all apps that use the old api can't check it anymore.

This doesn't mean you're failing safetynet. If you passed before chances are you're passing it now.

The app just can't check it, that's all.
[Magisk] inb4after:
One problem I noticed is that my banking app hasn't updated to the new API, so every safetynet request to my device fails and hence I can't use the app.
[Magisk] mmortal03:
Mine doesn't, haven't gotten Pay to work on my phone, which is why I'm here. I'm on LineageOS 14.1. HTC One M7. Any solutions?

Edit: However, I do pass on the following app, so I don't get why Google Pay says "You won't be able to pay in stores with this device". NFC is enabled. Maybe my NFC functionality is physically broken on my phone?
[Magisk] MagicAddict:
Magisk mgr has worked for long time.

Been using v16 now v16. 7 but got invalid response on SafetyNet . Tried the SafetyNet Helper Sample app, but both basic and CTS fails.

- Actually after:

1. hiding from safetynet

2. Chosing random package name

3. Disabling all modules under settings (most important) had xposed 4.3 and visa pay

4. Clear data and cache google play + pgo

5. Reobot

I passed both checks. :)

Unfortunately still device lockout in pgo,

Several launch and reboot :( (permanent?)
[Magisk] andQlimax:
Unlocked bootloader make safetynet check to fails even with magisk hide? shouldn't hide also that? What are the solutions? keep root with locked bootloader? or what about a custom kernel?
[Magisk] madbat99:
Of course you keep your bootloader unlocked. That will not affect safetynet with magisk hide.
[Magisk] driverdis:
Pokemon Go now abuses permissions to detect the existence of the MagiskManager Folder. Rename or delete it (all it does is store downloaded module zips to avoid needing to redownload any if you reinstall a module) then the error will go away and Pokemon Go will work. You can also use Storage Redirect on Magisk Manager so it uses the Android Data folder instead of the SD Card root directory or use Island to run Pokemon Go in a separate "work" environment that blocks Pokemon Go from finding the MagiskManager folder.

Magisk Manager does need to be a random package name for this to work. Also if you use Island before using the random package name, it will still fail until you delete the Island and let the app recreate it.
[Magisk] huzeifa88:
Same here safety net api invalid

This all started yesterday morning, and almost all banking applications stopped working, by evening it started working on it own, again today morning it has stopped

Found the reason for safety net to fail, its adblock, all this started when ad adway host were updated this week, disabling solves the problem, also using magisk unified host causes same issue, and persists till its not removed.

No root firewall helps to get rid of the problem.

My Verizon VS995 (VS9951CA/May 1, 2018 Security Patch) has begun disconnecting from my home (xFinity) wifi. It will make and hold a connection to a local "xfinitiwifi" with no problem or issues.

My partner's Samsung laptop, her iPhone, and my Verizion Asus tablet all connect and hold their connections with the xFinity router!

I have even tried using the "WPS" button connection which will also connect briefly (2-5 seconds as with manual) and then disconnects.

Network mode is set to "LTE/CDMA".

3G/4G works fine.

I have not rebooted the router as the other connections mentioned above are problem free.

(Update) Rebooted router Monday AM with no change. Phone still connects then almost immediately disconnects.

Even did a Network Reset to no avail.

What have I not done that I can actually access on a Verizon menu and/or what am I missing?

Thanks in advance for any assistance with this problem.

PS: I did a search here for this issue and did not get any links.

Final Update: Came across a very similar situation to mine on another forum from 2017. Had no idea why the problem started, had limited options available via the restricted Verizon menu, and no real help being offered that was Verizon specific. The person finally did a factory reset and all was well. Can report the same with mine as a factory reset this afternoon has allowed full connection with my home router and all is well!
[Honor 9N Guides, News, & Discussion] Ahammed Danish:
Honor 9N is a latest budget phone from Huawei Honor.

For Indian customers, it comes with network settings as 4 options ( LTE/WCDMA/GSM Auto), (WCDMA, GSM Auto), (WCDMA only) and (GSM only).

While the network signal is weak we don't get LTE band as it jumps down to the lower signal WCDMA or GSM.

Here I will explain how to enable LTE only option in settings.

Steps:

Download the app : Settings database editor

Scroll down and look for "hw_networkmode_preference" and change its value from "9,3,2,1" to "9,3,2,1,11". save it.

Then restart your device.

Now the LTE only option will be available in Settings > Mobile Network.

Remember one thing : You will no longer receive or make a call when you are in LTE only signal. It's because only Jio supports 4G calls (VoLTE).

If you are using any other Network Service like Vodafone In, Idea... Etc, use LTE only option only when it's needed and change into ( LTE/WCDMA/GSM Auto) later to receive calls.

Thanks.:victory:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] pheroah:
Dear All,

I searched for this, but couldn't find any reference to this particular issue. I tried all the latest 6.1 ROMs and it looks like a WM thing.

All ROMs, have this new "FEATURE" which let's you view the SMS as a thread of messages instead of one at a time.

This is great, the only drawback is, that I can no longer move threads or indvidual SMSs to different folders; even the option to manage folders is dimmed (also the move option).

The only work-around that I have found, is to delete the message, go to the trash, and move it from there. However, there is still no way to create a new folder.

Any Ideas/Suggestions/Solutions for this issue ?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] fcreeves:
I too miss the split SMS/MMS. I wonder if it is possible for our favorite chef to put ArcSoft MMS 4.2.8.1 in his latest ROM and have it work properly?

This would make it possible to run Vito SMS-Chat and receive MMS properly. If Dutty's latest did run so damn good I would revert back for this reason alone.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] maiahsdad:
I remember communicating with a very talented individual named Shogunmark. I'm SURE that this individual could separate the SMS and MMS. I don't think it was via XDA though. Seems I met him through another site.

In order to run Threaded SMS on WM6, you need to install a 3rd party program such as PalmSMS.
