EFS affects Signal, and IMEI

Hello,

You know English well (comparing to my bad English).

Loss of Network (Data), and IMEI is caused by deleted EFS.

EFS is deleted in the process of Installion of some custom roms (including stock rom).

Rostoring EFS on Oreo soak test won't work for several reasons (for me it only worked on Nougat).

Restore Process:

Must Have:

1. Andorid 7.0 Stock Rom (Fastboot) (Twrp flashable won't work)

https://xdaforums.com/g5-plus/development/stock-firmware-npn25-137-67-5-fastboot-t3694738/amp/

2. EFS Backup (must be backup from when you had signal)

3. Optional Magisk or SuperSU

https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-install-magisk/

Step 1: Flash Stock Rom

Step 2: Flash Magisk (optional, but recommend)

Step 3: Restore EFS

Finally Enjoy!

thanks lol

but nonono

I'm not talking about that but bad signal strenght... I can use my phone, but in certain places, like the subway, the internet is so slow that it is unusable... but, as I said, I can see a lot of people even playing Clahs Royale with no problem
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] wastedige:
I think this phone is generally weak in this category. My wife has a Samsung S6 active and we both use Tmobile. In similar locations hers gives much better reception.
[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] MitenP5:
The problem isn't the phone it's the rom your using. Example For me: with VOLTE (Verizon) From my house

Pixel Experience gives 40MB Down and 33MB UP

Stock Rom gives 20-30MB Down and 20 UP

Your results aren't accurate.

Get two of the same phone ex. iPhone 8

One will always have better Network speeds then the other, even if their new.

[Moto G5 Plus Questions & Answers] MitenP5:
But that nothing to do with no signal inside subway.

Edit: Metal won't have a major affect on the signal, depending on the phone to metal ratio. Similar to magnets.

Not to be rude but "was using debloated stock then changed to Oreo stock" Has everyone knows signal is bad on roms other then the original (which no one has)..

I forgot to ask you what signal do you get?

LTE, 4g, H+, H, 3g, 2g?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] XoredBrain:
Hi, just got few Note 9 phones.

I have noticed that both has rear cameras shifted a bit to right side. I mean camera lenses are not positioned exactly at the center of frame. Like on attached photo. Is it defective series.

Who has the same ?

[IMG="note 9 cameras"]https://nc.xored.org/s/tBssnJEmfE5jBSN/preview[/IMG]
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] @rbiter:
This was known before release. Probably a tight fit in there with battery because Samsung did not put fingerprint sensor lower. BTW, my camera is centered.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
If this issue negatively affects how the cameras function, then we have a problem. If it doesn't, well not that I would like it, but it's not really a big deal. I've had phones with this issue before and it didn't affect how the camera functioned.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] fulcrum1971:
I think it might have something to do with OIS. Not sure but the camera is supposed to move to keep the image stabilized.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] nuclearrage:
I looked closely, if you are talking about the actual lens being centered in the circle it resides in, the mine are centered. Both the circles are offset in the rectangle camera and sensor window . Maybe your cameras moved during shipping due to a drop, at which case exchange them.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] AB__CD:
This is standard issue. I've had the Note 5, S7, S8 and now Note 9, all have had off center cameras due to the OIS.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] illetyus:
Can you please take a pic of your phone's rear too?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
Are you guys sure that it isn't off because OIS isn't being used? I always thought that when OIS is active, the lens hop to the middle.

Edit: just looked up close to my mom's note 8 and when OIS is active, the lens are in the middle.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
My middle one looks a bit like yours . Also my sim tray doesn't sit flush, it's more recessed on one side. Ain't bothered.

However, I'm a delighted that there is no red tinge uneveness yay!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
Guys, the camera modules are hardware supported for OIS. When the camera isn't being used OIS isn't on so the camera lens and housing themselves are free moving slightly. Take a look at teardown videos and you'll see them moving the assemblies around.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] aznmode:
Mine is completely centered but doesn't take as sharp picture as my note 8. Oh no! Maybe it's not taking sharper pictures since it's too centered LOL. Damn it.. Now I want an off centered one.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
From what I hear, turning off the scene detection setting should improve picture quality. Reviews have said this mode oversharpens and oversaturates the photos.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 2015Ducatimulti:
yeah mine are offset on my Note 9 512gb ATT model, but they actually move to center when you fire up the camera, and when your watching the camera lens, as u rotate the phone, you can see them move to the conditions what the camera is seeing!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] aznmode:
I've tried that but it didn't help any. Also disabled tried disabling the flaw detection where it'll warn you if pictures came out blurry. None has helped.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] AB__CD:
I always thought OIS was just a bunch of springs and is always on, but apparently not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
Nah, it's much deeper than that. Here's a good read and watch.

Mine is also a bit off center.

Hi, yeah got my note 9 on Wednesday and my lens is off centered too. Still thinking on whether I should go to the trouble to get it exchanged.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Indeed so. The black glass 'hole' where my cameras lens sits behind isn't round its slightly oval? No derogatory affect on pictures so...no problem, its just rather odd. :fingers-crossed:

Ryland
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] illetyus:
From what i see from youtube channels or other photos, it is just a default position of the camera. Nothing to worry about.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Semantics:
Mine is a bit off center. There is some type of voodoo happening, though. When I turn the camera on, it becomes centered, and then when I turn it off it goes a bit off center again. It's dark magic, I suspect. I think I'll keep my possessed phone whose camera has a mind of its own and not bother trying to fix something that isn't broken by sending it back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] @rbiter:
Picky? It is the nature OIS. This is the kind of OCD that raises the prices of phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Shanecooper:
My note 9 is the same. I'm in Ireland. Taking it back to the store tomorrow
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Paul013:
My module was centered once and its like the OP now. I guess its OIS and nothing else.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Y0sHii:
Absolutely.

Do you want to end up with a refurbished phone? Because this is how you end up with a refurbished phone. You people are literally returning your phones because of something that's a minor inconvenience to look at temporarily because it re-centers itself when in use, NOTHING is wrong with your phone's camera lenses! ? :eek: .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
But they paid over a thousand dollars for it [emoji23]?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Y0sHii:
lol I know the price all too well considering i have the 512g Lilac Purple variant but I'd never return it for something as minor as this and now that i look mine it's currently off centered, but if i bump my phone with the palm of my hand it centers or goes to the other side slightly.... ??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
That's unacceptable ;) I'm joking by the way.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Y0sHii:
lol i know i just really hope this doesn't turn into a dreaded Forbes article titled "..Nasty Surprise .." ;) ?

Mine is not centered but turning on the camera it centre a little bit more.

I've done all partitions backup and then Restore by TWRP.

My TWRP version is: 3.1.0-3

Backup was created two months ago.

After Restore I have some problems with system behavior:

I can not run Settings

App "Files" is not visible and I can't run this app.

I've tried restore few times also with positive md5 verification and its still the same.

Can someone tell me what is wrong? What I suposed to do to have my phone working please.?

Edit:

I've solved an issue with File Manager App by installing slightly newer version from ApkMirror site

When i run Settings App it shows up for 0.5sek and then close.

I've tried to:

Clear data of Settings App (acces to this by Root Uninstaller)

Wipe Dalvik Cache partition

Wipe Cache partitnion.

Camera app and every app that need access to camera (mirror, compass) doesn't work also...

Edit. Problem is solved by flashing new software (same version) via dload method

I disovered propable cause in TWRP backup mechanism:

TWRP 3.1.1-0

* bump up TWRP version to 3.1.1

* fix backup of /version

* use device specific and updated prebuilts (+kernel)

* remove the ability to flash images to ext4 mounted partitions

TWRP 3.1.0-3

* kernel updated for proper loop support

* magisk can now be installed and is supported by every rom running b380+ kernel (tested on b383)

* native_package.xml has been changed to device specific version

Did anyone else notice the Samsung messages widget is missing from Galaxy Note 9? I use the built in messages app (not google's messages app, samsungs), and I used to have the widget on my home screen on my Note 8 that showed the messages window. Now I don't see a widget for it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Semantics:
I don't have the phone with me so I can't check right now. I did notice you can't change the text background anymore and that kind of pisses me off. I don't like goSMS or Textra. I don't want a 3rd party app. It sucks they stick you with no options to change background or chat bubble colors.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] AB__CD:
Its just not there. They also removed a feature I used quite often on my S8: Bixby dictation by pressing and holding button while keyboard is open. It was super convenient.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Tadderanne:
I noticed it too... If you find anything, please let me know! I'll do the same!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] beckerben:
It is unfortunate, I guess it may be time to switch over to Googles "messages" app instead now because it does have the widget!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Semantics:
I think that is still there somewhere. When I was setting up Bixby I turned it off. It asked if I wanted to allow it to control the keyboard or something in Messages.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Yep no messages backgrounds.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Go to Textra. It's better than either of the ones mentioned.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
It don't matter that much I use WhatsApp or telegram primarily. Looks like an indicator that perhaps Samsung is winding down it's messaging division?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] PsiPhiDan:
Oooo... That is nice. Might need to try that, haha.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
Dictation is there. In the upper left of the keyboard there's a revolving menu button. Has a smiling face on it. It should be there. If it is not there press the triangle on right side and move it.

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KUSOsan:
Could also be a system app getting stuck. I used to get them randomly on stock ROM like once or sometimes twice a week. You could install GSam battery app or accubattery app and see if you can see anything misbehaving. I use BBS (BetterBatteryStats) but it's a paid app I believe.

I would try that before spending money on a battery just to see because a reboot doesn't always fix the issue. In one of my cases my Gmail app got stuck constantly syncing and even after reboot it would just start right back and get stuck again and I have Auto sync turned off
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DroneJC:
Before going in for new battery, try these,

1. Using LG UP, re-flash latest KDZ using partition download option. Phone gets formatted to new. Make sure battery is at 10%-20% and not above that. This will help re-calibrating of battery, while charging to 100% by system.

2. After installing all apps as per standard setup process, restart the phone.

3. Now the crucial part, disable the following system apps by going in to apps in settings,

-Android Services Library

-Android Shared Library

-App Shortcuts

-Bookmark Provider

-com.facebook.appmanager

-com.facebook.system

-intent filter verification service

-Promo Helper

-Print Service Recommendation service

-market feedback agent

-inapps

After doing above, i could get smooth running of phone and better battery.

Check this , if it works for you,...fine...
