[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] Droidlife4ever:
Does your Carrier get in the way of receiving updates, I've had a Nexus 5X and a Pixel 2 before and as far as i remember the carriers Virgin Mobile and Bell never got in the was of updates. Then again i did used to flash updates sometimes so idk maybe they did? Anyway i have the Essential Phone from Koodo and i never got the July Security patch also i still never got Android 9.0 according to to Essential Sprint? and Telus do further testing before releasing updates. I contacted Koodo and they said they do testing on Pixel and Essential updates :eek: So i want to know if anyone has a Pixel phone with a carrier in Canada, Do the carriers delay and test updates on them? I wanna get a Pixel 3 but not from koodo if i gotta wait a month or more for updates. Oh and i was told and read many people take out the Koodo sim cards and slap in a different carrier sim card and thats how they've been downloading the 9.0 update on Essential from Koodo.:silly:

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] IpodLover77:
Im thinking of buying a used 8525 for 125.00 on ebay but the problem is the seller stated that it goes to a blank white screen sometimes. He also included pictures when its working normally. I researched the white screen thing on yahoo and i got mixed answers. I learned that if you buy it from a third party seller (ebay) then you have no warranty (duh). My question is, whats the real deal with the white screen? is it somthing i can fix with a new rom? The other question is, is it worth the 125 price tag, which is saving alot but for a phone that has a possibility of not being able to be fixed. Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tzb:
A ROM change won't fix it but there has been some sucess in this thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=321163&highlight=whitescreen

As for a $125, I'm not sure. Mine $1100AUD new. Though if I had the option again, I wouldn't buy one (too many white screens and buttons not working).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
My advice is don't buy it. Yes, there are some possible white screen solutions to try, but none are guaranteed. By replacing the the d-pad and possible ribbon connectors you might increase your chances of success but it would be a gamble I would not take.

There are good TyTn's out there, I have one, but to deliberately choose one that has a known and difficult to solve problem I would not advise.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] IpodLover77:
ok thanks. Ok another question. Honestly, is it safe to buy a 8525? I really dont want a tilt because it has programs i dont need and is expensive, but it seems i read about this white screen alot. what do you guys think?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
Nobody can guarantee that it will be perfect. BUT keep in mind that most folk post about their problems. So out of all the thousands of 8525s sold even a few dozen with the white screen issue is a small proportion.

Also, if you buy do it from a proper supplier and do not buy from ebay.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] IpodLover77:
shoot! could you recomend some good sites that are cheap? I really dont feel like paying an outrageous price. Thanks for the help!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
I don't know good sites in your country but hopefully someone in the states can recommend somewhere? I'm not saying all ebay sellers are all trying to palm off problem phones but it is a risk and I have seen quite a few folk that have had bad experience with the white screen issue having bought from there. However maybe someone knows a good / reliable ebay supplier?

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ireMaN:
Hi, i wanna ask a few questions about my old phone. It was working and i had dropped it. in that minute a car just went over it. It was touchable but display is very messed. I had saw the main screen and i could touch it. After that i just removed my sim and tried to restart phone but it never did restart. i could enter the twrp and take all my files to pc. after some time it's screen went black. Now i can enter to download mode, i can confirm that but nothing more because of black screen.

And my question;

1. How can i be sure if i change the screen it will work again?

2. I don't want to buy a screen, is there way to use it without a screen? ( with a monitor, tv etc.). i can use a mouse and keyboard with otg but how to transfer display to another device? ( new screen costs too much ) ( i know mhl not supported)

3. is there another phone which is cheaper and screen fits to s6 edge connector?

4. Any other ideas?
[Honor 8 Questions & Answers] Bistekka:
Hello good people,

long story short i've got my honor 8 (FRD-L09) unlocked rooted and so on, i was running HalogenOS which is a great rom, for some reason unknown to me it has bricked it'self. No problem just flashed via the sd card the stock EMUI and from there on for lack of time i've never come around at flashing back HalogenOS since i hate EMUI. Tonight i've tried but i'm not able to install any rom, i always get bootloop. I've tried RR, lineage, Carbon and HalogenOS but none of them have worked. A side note that maybe can reveal something, the only TWRP that works is the one from the OpenKirin's Team. I hope someone can help, i've haven't found anything online about this.

Thanks

2.read the instructions that are written on openkirin.net

I've asked this to find an answer, but the one who does not read is you, i haven't tried install any rom with project treble, all the rom that i've tried are based on 7.1.2 not 8.0.0 so the problem is another one. i've followed the same guide as the first time that i've done it, same exact scenario, but this time no results.

I still have it on from Oreo but is it needed on PIE?
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] lssong99:
Yes... I think you need it more...

My RAM after boot is 1300MB and after couple hours use the free RAM is hovering around 500-800MB... Greenify is working very hard to stop some app entering "empty app" state which just sit there, not working, eat into your available free RAM....

Android P's OOM on "empty app" is set around 318MB, which I think is too low... Without Greenify a lot of app may enter "empty app" category and just stay there... If you fire up camera app with less then 600MB free RAM, Android P will just go crazy and try to kill everything ASAP including launcher to get free RAM... (My experience is not all empty app will be killed, instead some foreground app also got killed) Greenify will prevent those app entering "empty app" at first place...

I also modify the "empty app" OOM threadhold to 500MB... Greatly reduced the chance my Nova launcher being killed when launching Camera App.
[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] madscribblerz:
No. I stopped using Greenify after nougat after performing testing on oreo. There was no statistically significant improvement using Greenify with oreo. Pie uses AI based optimization, so I definitely wouldn't tamper with its logic using a third party tool unless you had a really good reason to.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] BigMosley:
Decided to sell my S9+ and buy the Note 9 with 8GB of RAM and 512GB of storage. T-Mobile has a trade in promotion where I'll give them a Galaxy S7 in exchange for $500 in bill credits and also selling my S9+ should come up with another decent chunk of money to pay off the Note 9. I agree it's not a HUGE upgrade over the S9+ but I'll enjoy the larger battery, larger screen, more RAM and Bluetooth S-Pen.

Anyone else decide to jump?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] pomy65:
Not all of us can afford the note 9, like I barely bought my S9+ man

Nah, not worth it. Its about the user experience not the specsheet. The only upgrade I see is the Spen
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] BigMosley:
Duplicate
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] BigMosley:
I hear you. With T-Mobile having such a good promotion the way I'm seeing it is I'm getting an 8GB of RAM Note with half a terabyte of built-in store, with Specs like that I don't know why I would ever need to upgrade again so it's an investment.

Plus there's reports that this is the last of the Note series and next time around they're just going to put the S Pen in the + series.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] xDreDz:
Well, I prefer using SD cards because I always wipe my phone, try different custom roms, It is where my titanium backup is etc etc.

And when I jump to another phone Ill just root then restore everything from the backup like no hassle ( Internet is SHT here thats why )

About the ram.. read somewhere that 4gb is already too much and wont be used 100% and in my experience I dont notice any difference.

The way it looks from behind kinda looks sucky for me, I prefer the S9+'s camera placement

And I wish they included an ultra wide camera on the note 9 tho like the ones on LG phones, hope it comes on the S10
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brunotuga:

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Micky 22:
I actually pre ordered a Note 9 but cancelled it. I then ordered a gorgeous coral blue S9 plus 256gb Duos for half the price, see the problem? Same processor and ram that most people will order. The same powerful phone basically. Early speed tests indicate the S9 has the edge too probably because more packed features and the pen and an old processor.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] BigMosley:
Yeah but I'm going for the 8GB RAM/512GB memory version. I wouldn't waste my time with the 6GB RAM version of the Note 9 when it's basically the same thing as my S9+.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Micky 22:
This was the dilema i was in, i preordered the 8gb version. If you have the cash go fo it it's the only one to go for. Most people will get the 6gb one though. I have an existing S9+ 128gb single sim that's going to my girlfriend once i get the new S9+ 256gb Duos. I have been using it the last 2 months and with 6GB it's quite a snappy phone and i have experienced no lag. It's actually quicker opening apps that i mostly use than my iPhone X, Youtube, KIK etc. I then thought 8GB is really over kill so i cancelled, i'm waiting for the S10.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] BigMosley:
Yes the S9+ is very snappy, probably the fast Samsung I've ever used and that's with 6GB of RAM and Snapdragon 845, just imagine how blazing fast the 8GB of RAM with the Snapdragon 845 is going to be. It looks like the main hype over the S10 is the in-display finger print scanner, and I'm perfectly cool with it being on the back of the device.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] varcor:
Trading in the S7 puts you around $350 ahead. The rest is on you in cash and value of the S9 Plus you're going to sell. So at $1,249 for the Note 9 plus tax, your expense is around $1,000. Plus you're locked into a 24 month term with T-Mobile. For a bigger battery, .2 inch larger display, 2 more Gb RAM and an S Pen. You seem to be excited over the extra 2 Gb of RAM. I'm pretty sure the difference will be negligible if any at all. There's also an AI component in the camera which isn't on the S9 Plus but I doubt most users can tell the difference in photo quality. You'll also have higher memory capacity but the S9 Plus I have is at 656 Gb, more than enough. I don't see the $1,000 value in those upgrades and wouldn't consider a term contract with any service provider since I've been on monthly prepaid service for the last few years. What happens if you fall out of favor with the Note in a few months? You're screwed!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] BigMosley:
Great points, always good to play devils advocate. The way I see it is this is a 6.4" Super AMOLED, with 8GB of RAM, half a terabyte of built-in storage and a 4,000 mAh battery. With spec's like that I don't see why I would need another device for some time. And IF Samsung (or anyone else) comes out with a better Spec'd device and I absolutely need to have, which seems very doubtful at this moment in time, I will just work some OT and pay off the remaining Balance and sell the phone. Like the youngins say these days....YOLO.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] philiptibbs:
I like my Tmobile S9+ but since there isn't going to be any root I'm about to switch to another phone. I hate stock crap. I like flashing. I'm a flashaholic and no flashing is very boring . I wonder what phone would be the best to get right now that can be rooted that has the most devs working on roms and such ??
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
No phone that will be obsolete in 6 months is ever an investment. You will pay $1000 for it today, and then sell it for $275 next year.

And while the specs are impressive, all that RAM and storage doesn't actually DO much for you unless you just like carrying your life's digital contents on your phone with you.

I have the S9+ and put a 128 MicroSD card in there and it has like 110gb free. Google Photos has all my pics and videos... I probably threw 600 or so MP3's on there as I use my phone for music in my bluetooth helmet when I ride and often hit areas with no cell coverage up in the Mtns...

I don't know that I have ever used more than 30-40gb of storage on a phone... I mean, if you want to take a ton of 4k video, maybe then it would come in handy, but I can always toss a 400gb SD card in mine if that becomes a need.

---------- Post added at 02:19 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:17 PM ----------

Going from 6gb to 8gb of RAM will have little to no impact on performance.

This what we call "bench racing" in the car or motorcycle world... claiming this spec and that stat and pretending it in some way correlates to "winning" a race in the real world...

---------- Post added at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 PM ----------

Probably not any faster. Numbers sell.

What's faster around a racetrack, a 485hp Dodge Challenger, or my 157hp Panigale?

I mean, the Dodge has a higher number, right?

Or is that number less important than how it is used? While the Dodge has triple the horsepower, it also weighs 2 tons. My 157hp, weighs 430lbs. Rider/driver skill being equal, the Dodge doesn't stand a chance.

This is a little like the phone thing... I mean, if you run some app that NEEDS more than 6GB, then the 8GB model should be a little faster... but the list of apps you will run that need that much RAM? I can't think of a single app.

The 8GB has more to do with marketing, than real world performance, that's the point I am getting at.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] BigMosley:
Look buddy, I'll buy you one since you're so Jelly :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
LOL. $1000, is literally 2 days worth of pay for me. If I wanted one, I would have it, trust me.

I was simply correcting your comments that having 2GB of extra RAM was somehow gonna turbo charge the same processor that we already have. It won't, and just shows that you don't really know how things work. ;)

---------- Post added at 04:14 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:12 PM ----------

Ironically, the Galaxy 9+ was roughly the same cost as the Note. Both are basically $1000 phones. So not sure where the word "Jelly" comes into play.

I have had notes. I ever once used the pen. If you don't need the pen, then there is really no advantage to the note. if you do, then the Note is an awesome phone for you.

If someone can't live without the s-pen, the it's logical to buy the Note 9 instead of the S9+. If not, then it's a 100% wrong decision.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
And to be clear, nobody is dogging then note 9. It's an awesome phone, but it is pretty much a galaxy s9+ with a pen, a little more ram and more storage. It's not a significant upgrade unless you need the pen or you take massive amounts of 4k video... But again, the Galaxy has a microssd slot and will likely take the new 512gb cards as well...

If you have an older phone and need a new one and those things appeal to you, then the note is an ideal choice. But if you already have an S+, it's more of a lateral move than an upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] krypto1300:
I pre-ordered 2. One for the wife and me. She has a Note 8 and I've got an S9+. To me it's a huge upgrade because of the battery and storage. I regularly keep about 200+GB of files on my 256GB microsd card and would keep more if I could. I have keep lots of blueprints on my phone for work.

Also, I've missed my Note since I switched due to the Note 7 battery debacle.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] SquireSCA:
You don't use HD calling? You like your voice quality sounding like a 1950's telephone? LOL

The real kicker for me, is that I routinely have to tether my work laptop to my phone if I am on the road. Works great and my data plan shares my 4G/LTE data with my devices.

However, if I make a call when I am tethering, or if I am just using the phone by itself, the cellular data drops to 3G while I am on the call. Basically you can have 4G, or you can make a call. You can't do both at the same time.

THAT'S the deal breaker for me... every time I am on the phone making a call, the data drops to basically dial-up speeds...
