[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
The only "drawback" I can think of is if this US998 already has 20D. Then you'd have temporarily flash 20A or 20B to get back to Oreo with bootloader unlock exploit. But you would have to flash that any way with LS998 (first to US998 Nougat, then US998 Oreo 20A or 20B).

So, you're still saving a step.

My brother in law just ordered this US998 V30+ yesterday, before the 15% sale code. I can't tell him, he'll be mad. But he dunked his old phone in water and needs a new phone fast. He's not into rooting and stuff, he just wants a good phone. And this one is IP68.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] christoophat:
wow..I just happened to stumble onto this thread while searching on V30+. Just bought one w/ the 15% off. Thank you sir!!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Stormwing:
Ok good to know, thanks. Unfortunately I ran into some technical difficulties with PayPal and ended up missing it. Guess I'll be joining you guys the next time one of these promos roll around....
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ferez:
I have just 2 things to say, 1) the selfie camera's quality is quite embarrassing, Gcam makes it better but you have to choose the longer shutter option and stay still for 3 seconds

2) Check the screen on low brightness for any inconsistencies of the notorious P-OLED
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
No one is going to defend the selfie cam in the V30. Oreo did make it better. (On Nougat you had to turn off the skin enhancement setting.)

Since I don't use my phone display at very low brightness, that's not an issue for me. You lose vibrancy and colors of OLED displays at low brightness. I've owned five of these phones (gave two to relatives) and know five more relatives/friends who bought for themselves. We all keep the displays at normal brightness, so the topic has never come up. For me "normal" is anything over 50%. I keep mine on 70%.

Well, even without the 15% it's not a bad price. $310.

With Labor day weekend coming up, there may be another sale code

Just got me phone from the ebay seller above (thanks ChazzMatt) looks to be in primo shape (beside a small scratch on the screen - WHY do ppl use phones without scree protector?!)

Question: security patch date April 1 2018 , SW US99810d, Android 7.1

Am I good to root as is, or do I still need to Frankenstein it first. A little confused from number (10,20) and letters (a.b.d)of all the sws

thank s!!
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] christoophat:
should I return this?

Kind of bummed about this 1/2" scratch right in the center of my 9/10 phone . Would you return it ?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Yes, return it. That's not mint. I got two without screen scratches and my brother in law just got his yesterday with no display scratches.

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:21 AM ----------

10 means Nougat

20 is Oreo

You are half way through Frankenstein. You still need to upgrade to "safe" Oreo.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] christoophat:
And d means the exploit is patched then? sorry newbish on these phones I am.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
No. The letter is just the software version. B comes before C. Etc.

But US998 20D has the July 2018 security patch that blocks the bootloader unlock exploit where we don't need LG's permission.

For Europe it's 20Y.

You can look at the date in the file name and roughly tell which update has (most of time). Any with July and later, stay away from. I can think of one H930DS model where an early July update still had June security patch, but that's the rare exception.

Any July 2018 or later, stay away from until bootloader unlock. If you get one like that, you can still temporarily downgrade to unlock bootloader. Just don't install on purpose until she after you unlock the bootloader or you're making extra work for yourself for no reason.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Stormwing:
Heads up everyone: eBay is doing a Labor Day promo for 20% off with the code JUSTRELAX

I'm an idiot. It's restricted to certain sellers only again.

HOWEVER the seller has raised the prices in anticipation and the aforementioned LS998 is now $288 after the code, but the US998 is happily still at $264 after the code. [MENTION=4103758]christoophat[/MENTION], were you able to return yours though? And [MENTION=3250376]ChazzMatt[/MENTION], besides the screen, how was the condition of the your brother's phone?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] christoophat:
The seller was a bit hard to get hold of, took 3 emails thru ebay to finally get him to respond, to offer to get it returned for a replacement. Hopefully the return gets processed soon & he still has an actuall 9/10 phone left to exchange it with. Where do you find out about the ebay sales? I never get any emails from ebay about them...
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Stormwing:
Hmmm I wonder if I should give it a shot then. I only found out about the last one via The Verge and I found this one by looking up eBay on Slickdeals. I actually set up a Slickdeals account and added an eBay alert but that didn't seem to do anything.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] christoophat:
I'm wondering if, during these sales, that ebay covers the balance for the sellers that's taken off during them. My invoice shows the full price ($309), but I only paid $263.

And yes, I noticed that the average prices for V30s have spiked up a bit. 20% off is a sweet deal. Also found a killer Tech21 Evo Check case for $8.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Here's his text:

"Mine is mint ! Really clean. $310 is unbelievable!"

I didn't tell him if he'd waited a day, he could have gotten it for much less. He needed a phone due to water damage.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] dodjob:
Hey there,

I'm new to the model, please bear with me ?

I try to reinstall my system through Fastboot after having wrecked my original camera app (flash is always on, HDR pictures not saving..) after having installed a Gcam too much I think ?

So

I first tried to fastboot erase system and then fastboot flash system.img from a dump (9.6.10)

Process went smoothly but absolutely no change when rebooted

I then tried the same procedure with system_a and system_b

(Yeah I learned)

The first system_a flashing process failed (command write failed (unknown error) at about the middle, 3d spare I think)

I did it a second time and it went smoothly

I made the same for the system_b and all went one

Great right?

Now the thing is that it seems not have change anything ?

I'm still rooted, magisk works like a charm and unfortunately my camera app is still wrecked.

Question:

Shouldn't a system flash rewrite the camera app?

Did I miss something?

How can I check if the flash was done correctly?

Bit of help please :)

Regards,

H.

I'm on 9.6.10 with bootlicker unlocked + modified boot.img+ magisk

I have run into this same issue a ton. I am not sure what causes it but sometimes I need to flash the system img up to 8 times before it goes through all the way. I wonder if it has to do with lower grade NAND to cut the cost of the device.

Hey guys, I was wondering if you guys could extract the fortnite apk from your note 9 as I would like to test on my OnePlus 6 and see if I can get the galaxy skin. I need the APK from the Samsung store as I think that is the app which allows you to get the galaxy skin. Thanks for the help. If you are wondering why I am asking you guys, its because I don't have a note 9 but am posting on here because it makes sense. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thenameisnigel:
It's the same apk you get from downloading Fortnite Installer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] ianmb:
And you can't get the galaxy skin unless you have the actual Note9, doesn't matter where you get the apk from. Sooo...don't see this happening for you any time soon.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] wallyhenderson:
Today i got my s4 lte t835n, tablet is great... but... intelligent scanner (iris+face) is totally useless, it only works for unlock device... just this... cant use to log (as fingerprint reader on s3) bank, car app, lastpass, bitcoin wallet... i mean, now, when open bank app have to type password.... same on all sensitive apps... cant believe this, i was very exited with the option to use inteligent scan to replace fingerprint reader but now im very dissapointed, hope they fix with an update but i doubt...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
I'm pretty sure Samsung pass lets you do this. I'm finding the iris scanner pretty useless even to unlpckijg
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] wallyhenderson:
To unlock device, on pprtrait works great... by now... 5 hours of use... on landscape most of times your fingers are on the camera
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
My fingers never are but still hardly works. I have a feeling my screen protector might be effecting it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] wallyhenderson:
Its possible, im not using screen protector
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
It didn't seem that great before I installed It but will try another protector has more accessories come out. Other than I really like the tablet
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] herpi:
Comes close to dealbreaker.

Miss fingerprint so much that I am back to the s3.

Have ten more days to return...

Also NOVA gives me problems. Dock only on the right possible in landscape. Impossible location.

Also much heavier than the 3.

Iris etc do not work. I use glasses=unusable...

And I seem to block the camera. Why not on top of the screen?

Because there is no button as reference lift it many times upside down.

Never had problems with the s3 speed, so....
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Csetoue:
Is there a big performance difference between S3 and S4?

Im on S3, planning to root, but also thinking on changing to S4.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] herpi:
I do not play games. But on the S3 i have huge 10gb+ films. All works fine with VLC.

Maybe the 4 is faster, but no idea what that speed advantage is giving me...

Also the size is less perfect. I like to use it in bed, and a wider and heavier tablet like th S4 is much less handy.

I have it in my hands now but still think of returning it.

my note 9 btw is a different ballgame..?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] wallyhenderson:
Yes... my s4 is smoother than s3... browsing is fast! And overall is faster than s3
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] wallyhenderson:
Nova works great for me...

Inteligent scanner (face+iris) works great with and without prescription glasses, not with sunglasses
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
I'm finding the best place to have my tablet held for the iris scanner to work best, think I was too close before
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] herpi:
How about in the dark with the scan?

Nova can have the Dock horizontal? How? Help me
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] SovRoxx:
I turned it all off the first week... I got very frustrated with intelligent scan. Major fail. I looked like an idiot when on the the floor walking trying to unlock it only to fail. and in the dark? worse . I had it a short time at this point and maybe I'm doing something wrong. but I just got my note 9 and I have no issues with IS .. other than a small delay
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] herpi:
Identical to my problem. Note 9 I use fingerprint BTW.

And also smart lock for my location is instable.

I use glasses.

Hold if further away from your face
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] SovRoxx:
[QRCODE][/QRCODE]

Yes I thought so! I did put my location come to think of it, but it never managed to stay unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] herpi:
Aha, started gps test on both s4 and note 9.

On s4 I get no fix at all with 24 sats in view.same problem as with the tab s3.

Note 9 gives accuracy of 128m on same place in my appartment.

That's why smartlock does not always work.

I cannot leave my tablet unprotected.any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] jansenonline:
The Nova thing is fixed by changing the display size one notch down. Leave the nova settings for Dock on automatic and the Dock will jump from side to bottom.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
The black smear is annoying too
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] herpi:
Pls be more specific. I just don't understand.

Where can I find the display size?

I see no " automatic" at dock settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] jansenonline:
Sure, no problem, so in 'nova settings', under 'look & feel', make sure the 'screen orientation' is set to 'auto-rotate'. Then in the tablet's regular settings, under 'display', go to 'font and screen zoom'. Now there might be multiple settings that fix it, but the ones I'm using that fixes it for sure is 'screen zoom' set al the way to the left (small) and 'font size' set second from the left, so that's one left from center.

Hope it helps

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
I'm happy too except for portrait mode is almost unusable with that horrible wavey scrolling
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] wallyhenderson:
Portrait mode is ok for me... 4:3 screen seems to work better, but 16:10 is awesome for split screen apps
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Yeah thankfully I use it most of the time in landscape. But once you notice the wavey scrolling in portrait you can't unsee it lol
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Too51oll:
I don't get it why it bothers you. I haven't even noticed text tilting while scrolling until I've read about it here and Its not like you constantly need to scroll quickly. Also I guess you haven't notice screen stretching and shrinking while scrolling in landscape, that would've ruined it for you completely.

Edit: Devastating news: it happens on every Samsung device with amoled display I own, Galaxy tab S 8.4 (tilted, crooked in landscape), Galaxy S 7 edge (landscape), Galaxy S8+ (landscape) so it seems to be an amoled redraw think. I'm assuming it does happen on other brands/devices as well. The bigger the screen, the more noticeable it will be.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Yeah it use to do it on the pixel c too. Haha and yes I have noticed that lol, but you have to scroll pretty violently to notice it lol. I dunno why it's bothering me at the moment, maybe just cause it's new and expensive, I notice it when scrolling normally.

I even noticed the iPad 9.7 5th gen is a bit crooked when scrolling in landscape....my eyes must be looking out for it
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] wallyhenderson:
Honestly i do not see that wavey scrolling... i use the most on portrait but never notice that, anyway, if so that would be not a big issue because it would impossible to read while scrolling fast...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] TesseractSpace:
Iris scan works fine in the dark for me. Just doesn't like my glasses. (They are fairly thick and have prisming to correct double vision which I'm pretty sure distorts the scan) I find the iris scan has more trouble with reflected light in my eyes in most cases.

Not seeing the wavy text thing in scrolling either. GPS also works great. My issue seems to be that it doesn't like the wifi at work and I haven't really tried it in depth to determine what is happening there.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] waichai:
I also notice there is wavey scrolling in portrait, not in landscape.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] doggydog2:
i just don't like "Intelligent scan", it does not combine face + iris, but chooses whatever is available (which is face, since iris success rate is very low). there's also an extra 'bonus', the eyes can be closed during scan, yes, the setting to prevent this can be active in face unlock settings, but it won't be applied here. So this "intelligent" scan is the least secure.

iris alone would be ok if it worked above average.

can't wait to authenticate to apps, i used fingerprint for literally everything.

Hi there.

I have a SM-N960F (Dual SIM - running Android 8.1.0 / SE 9.5 - Baseband: N960FXXU2ARH7 - Kernel: 4.9.59-14091311-QB19533257 - Build: M1AJQ.N960FXXS2ARH6 - Security patch: 1 September 2018 ) bought in Europe (not locked to any supplier - just the normal retail model) and the builtin Call Recorder option does not exist (it's disabled , does not show up).

So, as "hackdrag0n" said, it is a region type feature (being active or not).

I have a person I know in Malaysia (with the same Exynos model) and the Call Record feature is active.

I had to install a third party app to achieve the mentioned functionality.

That's expected. The apk for phone must be modified to prevent the recording then as well. I'm 99% sure if we can install a copy of the Samsung phone apk it would work. At the core the functions are there in the system. Just hidden. But the samsung phone apk has been the target for modifications to disable recording... need a copy of a record working samaung phone apk.

Got an apk just need to edit the install name now...
