I said I got it. Now we have shown that Exynos is well on battery. And if I pass on black theme, black wallpaper, black..black. I will make a snapdragon a similar husband. Exaggerated buddy. I took my phone to enjoy it and did not keep it as a Nokia 3310 battery. I'm not competing with anyone. I shared my experience. On other topicals, snapdragon does not catch a 5h SOT. So is Exynos. If you know the android and the battery keeps you well, that's my opinion.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @rbiter:
??. You didn't even read the posts. You just assumed that was Exynos. It is a snapdragon. You haven't proved anything. Not competing either. I've only seen a couple examples where Exynos is getting almost similar battery life to snapdragon. At this point you're just trolling because you're not even reading what you're posting for proof. You're just posting random stuff and not verifying. You aren't pulling down numbers like this...

Post screen shot or it didn't happen .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
I see that my screenshots have been used in this argument. So yes, I have an Exynos model (as well as my wife).

And like other people here or on reddit, my battery life has been excellent so far. Too me, it's seems that the Note 9 Exynos is not exactly the same as the one in the S9.

In fact I'm really curious about that and I have an idea to test that seriously but I need time and someone with an Exynos S9+. So maybe I will have to wait a little.

To be clear, when the S9+ was released, I followed the development around the Exynos vs S845 dilemma. I was interested to buy one but battery life reports were really disappointing.

On the other hand, my wife broke her phone and wanted absolutely a new phone with a stylus. So, she preordered a Galaxy Note 9 and that's only when I saw her battery life that I decided to get one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eVoHicks:
I have posted screenies on this and other forums of my Exynos Note 9, last 2 weekends I went over 2 days on 1 charge, 7hrs screen time, some power saving some full performance 2 weeks ago, then last weekend just everything on with no power save, 6hrs screen time 2 days 3 hours on battery.

Looks like my snapdragon is doing about the same without power saving on.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eVoHicks:
So this is with power saving? very impressive!

To be fair, in between breaks at work I don't really use the phone apart from calls/texts so I could in theory use power saving all day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @rbiter:
You were claiming 10h SOT off a charge you barely ran down over 25%.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @rbiter:
Really?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Nothing disabled, brightness at 95% no power saving on AT&T Note 9 512GB Snapdragon over 10hrs SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] :
No this is without power savings, I never use it. I don't play any games but I do read and listen to music quite a bit. I'm getting close two more hours of screen time than my Note 8 did. I'm more than happy with the 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Majin101:
Here's my battery, I was at work and did almost a full charge by 2pm and then went to campus. Basically used my phone the whole time to read files/articles, used snote, maps, Spotify, some social media. Had locations on the whole time and Bluetooth during my drive (probably like a total of 2 hrs). Auto brightest on. It was my first.time being on my phone for a while, so long screen time but less idle time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] michelino159:
Relly what?Come on, let's finish the conversation we do not understand. I told you exynos has a good battery and so. You look good. In another order I let the battery run down to 0% rare.I charge the phone at 20%. Watch to see what SOT your colleagues post with snapdragon on topics. Only you and [MENTION=239126]venom[/MENTION] have higher autonomy with black theme,black....In exynos post is theme default.Samsung.Success!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
Why am i being mentioned all i did was show my SOT and i can't use default theme white blinds me, and if i was to test it on white default on my AT&T Note9 Snapdragon i would still get same results on SOT my wife has same phone as me and she uses white default and gets 10 hrs SOT as well. So has nothing to do with my theme, i just can't use white to plain and blinds me out, so please keep me out of this i have nothing to do with anyone here as i have not at all quoted you on none of stuff here, i think this is nonsense people arguing about SOT, just enjoy the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] michelino159:
It is true my frend!Enjoy without problemes!?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] high_voltage:
Don't feed the troll. All you said is correct, also the closer results are because of different usage (lighter on the exynos). If the same person use the both phone, he will get vastly better battery life on the snapdragon. Everyone who is even remotely familiar with the matter, knows this. A lot was revealed for the 9810 and why it is not a performer anywhere except geekbench single core test. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
Until now, I haven't reach 0% on this phone with my usage so I tried to test what will happen.

Results are impressive in my opinion. I get 11.75h of SoT with :

3.5h of YouTube

1.5h of Netflix

1.75h of streaming music through Deezer

2h of XDA

0.5h of Don't Starve (by the end, I was tired to wait and I needed my phone charged for this afternoon so I end up playing Don't Starve to kill the battery but it still wasn't fast enough, even with deezer playing in background so I give up)

The rest is around 0.75h of Samsung Internet Browser, around 0.75h of Chrome, a little bit of reddit, some texts messages and Facebook Messenger.

Brightness on Auto, Wifi On, Data On, bluetooth, GPS and NFC off. AOD off too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @rbiter:
Challenge accepted. Lol. I will try to break 12h SOT now. ??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] high_voltage:
You can't replicate that accurately. One can use his display at 70% brightness, other one at 20% (auto brightness depends on the surrounding light as we all know). Different radio signal strength, different android background processing and so many more. It's literally impossible.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] @rbiter:
I know my usage won't be the same. I've got almost 11h SOT with double digits battery left. I was already going to try getting 12h so you can't demoralize me before I even try. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
I think you miss the point here.

My point is absolutely not to show a big screen in time. If it was, then I just have to read an ebook and I will easily be around 18-20h SoT (In fact I got 12h once... on a GN4 !!! Lol).

Or simply let my phone loop on a YouTube video, even at 1440p, I could certainly get 13-14h of SoT (it seems to barely consume anything on this phone. In fact, last time I check, I got around 1.75h of YouTube for 10% battery used. And I know it's around the same on snapdragon because l already compare power consumption on YouTube with another user of XDA).

There is a lot of activities that will let you break the 12h SoT on this phone.

No, my post was only to show what kind of battery life I get while showing as best as I could my usage pattern (and trying to mix activities to be more relevant).

And I expect reaction but not from people with Snapdragon Note 9 but from people with Exynos Note 9.

As I have already said, my wife also have a Note 9 but her battery life is a little bit lower than mine and looking at reports, it seems to me that people experience a very wide range of battery life with this phone. From very poor to excellent.

I'm used to this from older phone but this time I find there is too much differences.

But if you break the 12h SoT, post your Android Battery Stats and not the one from Accubattery. So we can see with which usage patterns you did it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
What's stopping people using mid power save mode to falsify sot etc then switch back to no power save mode to take screen shots?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] michelino159:
Nice!

With this SOT they are increasing sales with exynos. I have drawn the attention from the beginning that the battery on exynos is pretty good and not bad as it was on S9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] nathlynn22:
Day 1. Guess I gotta let it settle.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] alex989898:
Nothing I guess but if your goal is to win some kind of contest, I would advise you just to read an ebook, with black background, screen brightness on manual at 0%, power saving on at HD+ resolution and take your screenshot with Accubattery or something that don't show what you were doing and I'm sure you will break 15h SoT easily while no one can tell what you're doing wrong.

(On Accubattery, App usage will be low I guess if you do that but I see a lot of ways to bypass the problem and make it looks legit lol).

So yes, there will always be a way to cheat (And I must say that some screenshots on this topic look suspicious to me) but why would you want to do that ?

But honestly, even if you do what I describe earlier and get 15h SoT, I would say that's still very impressive for a phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Delks123:
OK I have officially screwed up...

So it was all going smoothly flashing a tweaked custom rom and twrp successfully and then I decided to back to stock...

I accidentally (ok maybe not so accidentally) flipped the OEM unlock switch and now I am locked out of my phone since I still had the custom binary on the phone.

I tried to flash the latest stock firmware for the s9 BTU found from samfirm but odin seemed to have not liked the firmware or something and it gave me an a red message on the odin mode screen.

When I try to flash everything at once I get "REV Failed Check (Bootloader)"

When I try to flash just AP I get "REV Failed Check (Kernel)"

At the moment when I boot up I get the message telling me to use emergency software recovery but Smart Switch does not seem to recognise the device either in the emergency recovery page however it does try to connect on the home page.

I'm not too sure what to do, any help would be nice?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
You cannot downgrade the bootloader, check which version your phone has in Download mode (BL: xx) and check which version the firmware you are flashing has G960FXXU1BRF8
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Delks123:
OK I think I have found the BL version from the line that says...

"RP SWREV B:2 K:2 S:2"

But what firmware has the BL Version 2? They all seem to have a BL version of 1 from what you've said?

If there are no firmware which match this, what do I do? Is my phone redundant?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Delks123:
OK

I saw on another thread that was replied to about the Hong Kong version having been already upgraded to BL 2 so I am going to give flashing that a go and I will report back.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
Yea you'll either have to do something like that, or wait for your region firmware to have it's BL updated
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Delks123:
Tried it out with a BL2 BTU firmware from SamMobile and the flash went smoothly however now I'm stuck in a bootloop when I'm trying to boot up.

I know this could be anything but I can't get any form of logs as the only mode I have is Odin mode available to me...

The way I flashed it was by doing BL first followed by AP, CP then CSC separately with auto reboot and one other one checked that was instructed by SamMobile. I tried to do them together but I keep getting an error of not being able to read a line.

What should my next step be?

What could be the reason for this bootloop as according to Odin the flash went well?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
You might need to check "Repartition" in ODIN only, flash all 4 parts at the same time, use CSC and not HOME_CSC

Make sure you are using ODIN 3.13.1
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Delks123:
Oh yea forgot the update...

I got it working, I think I unchecked repartition and auto reboot whilst flashing all of them together to get it working

So yea this is now solved

Hello,

I have been searching for a solution on the internet for about a month now with my case.

I am stuck on 41.2.A.7.76 with lost DRM keys and no TA partition. The Sony XZs Dual (G8232) I have has its bootloader unlocked and Magisk is installed too.

How could I recover the DRM functions on this build version?

Thank you in advance!

Sorry but no one had recovered the DRM keys again after unlocking the BL.

There was some DirtyCow script for the Marshmallow 6.0 models but XZs was released on 7.0 so no luck till date.

I didn't want to recover the keys themselves, only the functions! I have seen quite a few patches for that, but non of them are for my version! :/
[Sony Xperia XZs Questions & Answers] YasuHamed:
you cannot sir! infact xzs cam out on 7.1.1 and there is Extraction tool for TA.img on Nougat

however in theory XZ and XZs using same kernel! so NEW LOCKED XZS may be FLASHED with Marshmellow of XZ so that EXTRACTION TOOL (DIRTYCOW script to work) ... but that just theory!

now if you wana upgrade , simply flash the latest rom and send me the following files i will fix kernel for u!

KERNEL.sin &

convert system.sin to system.ext4 and open it with 7zip and send me

adb pull /system/vendor/etc/fstab.qcom

adb pull /system/vendor/etc/init/hw/init.qcom.rc

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sixzoseven:
hi folks, so I recently smashed my tablet screen lcd while playing soccer and now certain parts of the display are unresponsive. As the tablet has no more warranty and there is no point for me to repair it since it is a old model, I want to render it completely dead.

However, i have to return it back, and hence i do not want to mess with it physically like taking it apart and doing anything. I want to completely HARD brick it. I need to do this as I have some really important personal and work (business) information on it. I do not want it to be able to boot up or ever be recovered. Essentially, I want a paperweight. My Tablet is the Lenovo TB3-710F (Tab 3 7 Essential). It is unrooted and is running Android 5.0. I have already enabled usb debugging, unlocked the bootloader and tried the following.

1. flashed a boot.img not meant for the tablet

2. flashed a radio.img not meant for the tablet

3. tried using fastboot erase bootloader in adb. (command was unknown and failed)

4. tried using fastboot erase aboot, fastboot erase boot in adb.(commands were unknown and failed)

However, none of the methods that I have tried seem to brick the device. Does anyone know of the easiest and most efficient way of bricking this tablet that I have? Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raiz:
You just have to burn your device , get some fuel , some matches and BOOOOOOOM ! ( Never do this , the battery may explode and seriously harm you )

Before opening up your device , make some search on how to do it properly, because it can be dangerous.

More seriously, if you don't want anyone to know what on your internal memory, (before doing this you can get your SD card out of the tablet if you have one) open up your device ( do it carefully , remove all screws and take care of your device, the battery can be really harmful if you break it )

Then remove all other hardware pieces carefully and brake them in two parts .

Those can be recycled so don't put them to the trash immediately , make some search if your country provide recycling solution.

Hope this isn't stupid , if someone has a reason not to do that , feel free to explain why it's stupid and maybe give an alternative solution :svetius:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonyUK1985:
Takes maybe 10-15 mins to disassemble a tablet, you just want to damage the motherboard so remove the battery for a start get the mobo out and if you are really paranoid use a heat gun on the chips for around 45-60 seconds directly per chip the solder joints will melt easily as it's only tin solder. Chips will be rendered useless if the heat didn't destroy then being separated from the board did

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] zilexa:
(Moderators please move this topic if I am in the wrong forum).

My Pixel 1 received the 9.0 update and I HATE IT.

Google modified the controls over "sound on", "vibrate only", "silent" to Priority and DND many times. With Android 7 and 8 I was satisfied. But now.. they have completely stupidified Android!

A better explanation can be found here although this article is way to kind describing it:

https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/...-not-disturb-settings-simplified-single-mode/

Two problems I now have:

1. It is possible to mute your phone while you can still actively control the volume using the side buttons. It is totally unclear whether the phone is actually silent. See screenshot 1.

2. When DND is on (in my case it turns on automatically at night) there is no way to turn it off with the volume buttons anymore. You actually have to go into Settings.

3. When in a meeting and you want to turn in on, normally you could use the volume button down but not anymore :(

Please, is there anyway to get control over DND via volume buttons again? Some kind of setting I can change via ADB?

Then the other major change: Recent Apps. You no longer have an overview of your recent apps! You cannot just tap the app you want. Instead, your current app screen zooms out and you can scroll left to find out what other recent apps you have.

It's like going back to the stone age. I cannot believe the reasoning behind it. Is there a way to revert back to the better Recent Apps

I am not a programmer or developer at all but these dumb decisions from Google made me wish I was an Android dev who could write an app to change this.

It's also quite frustrating all the big websites write how Android 9 has AI and will improve your life because hey you are probably addicted to your phone.I haven't noticed any AI informing me of app usage. Also all the articles don't say anything about how an update could also be a huge step back I

This feels like a dumber version of Android :(
