[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] khuyud:
i use galaxy note 8

and after i change my launcher back to samsung launcher (previously i use nova launcher)

i see some app that show android and sd card on the icon

and how do i remove it?

can xda show me how to do it?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] deepseaturtle:
Either your phone is in safe mode or you have apps that were installed on a SD card and it got removed
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] sefrcoko:
Check the Samsung store, they just released an update with a bug fix for their launcher.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shamoho:
Is there a app out that can stream my MODDED Pandora app from my phone to multiple Bluetooth speakers at once. I use my old Moto Maxx 2 to stream music for work and we only have 1 stereo available at one end of the shop but another bt speaker is available at the other end that could also be used to sync with what i'm playing at my end. Is it possible?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] tomcat1974@aol.com:
Hey yall,

I have a snapdragon AT&T Note 9. To keep it simple, is there anyway to customize the plain white status bar icons, such as battery, wifi, etc? I know you can use substratum to make them the Marshmellow 6.0 icons, but those are just as lame. I haven't seen a good way to do this on an AT&T phone since my S3. Does it have to be the Enyxos processor and rooted? Why do they insist on making such simple icons non-customizable?

I apologize if this has been asked and answered before.

Thank you for any help.

BTW other than the typical stranglehold that the big companies put on their phones, I love this Note 9. I don't even care about bloatware because of the massive memory it has.

Android Master Race FTW.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] el4nimal:
I bought this Note 8 (SM-N950F) in Amazon.

Sometimes when people call me I dont receive the calls nor notifications...they go directly to voicemail.

I'm in US using the same T-Mobile SIM that I've used with my two previous phones (they worked perfectly).

I'm aware that this is not a US model but I'm able to make calls and receive many calls, I can use 4G too with no conectivity issue.

But sometimes I dont receive calls and that worries me because that'd be a big deal in case of an emergency :/

I've searched on the web but have found no solutions. I will really appreciate your help guys
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] recepo1:
Same thing happens to me i have the Duos Taiwan version using Tmobile
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] el4nimal:
Have you found a solution?

It happens with SMS too, I can send but sometimes I can't receive them.

I spoke with T-Mobile, tech support...they did something to the SIM, I hope it works now
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] recepo1:
Nope no solution let me know how it works what did you tell Tmobile? I will call and try as well
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] el4nimal:
I explained them the problem I just posted, I think they refreshed the SIM.

Now it's worse, I cant even make calls or received...not even to the voicemail
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] recepo1:
Wow i dont know if its certain apn settings for Tmobile that needs to be changed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] el4nimal:
You can just search "tmobile apn setting for [your phone]" on google and it should appear. I found mine and I did it but still cant make or receive any calls. I think they messed up my SIM, Im trying to figure out how can i contact them cause i cant even call them.

I will keep you updated with any solution or idea
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] el4nimal:
I still have the same problem. Have you found something?

I'm able to make calls any time, and receives calls sometimes...but I recently noticed that when I'm not receiving calls, I just make a call and instantly I'm able to receive calls...so, I'm pretty sure it has to do with the phone app going to sleep.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] recepo1:
No i still am not receiving calls at times where a voicemail just pops up with my phone never ringing. Talked to a friend he is experiencing the same issues. Im going to Tmobile to see if a new sim card will help
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] el4nimal:
I went to TMobile and I got a new SIM too....still the same issue. But let me know if it works for you anyways.

Like I said, I'm sure that what's causing the issue, is the "phone" app simply hibernating, but I don't know specifically what's the name.

If anyone here could let me know what's the name of the app that controls the cellular activity, would be great
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] recepo1:
Wow thanks for letting me know i will try to look into that toi
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] nuclearrage:
Since the Note 5 I have been trying to use more native Samsung apps to see if they are better than the alternatives. I truly love Samsung internet browser for example. So I ended up purchasing poweramp when I had the note 7 and I can't remember why. I am think that Samsung music didn't do something that I wanted so I used poweramp instead. Today I downloaded Samsung music and I can't seem to figure out if it has been update or something, but it seems to work great.

Tldr... is PowerAmp better than Samsung Music , if so why.

Thanks for your time.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Raz12:
Bro i'm drinking heavy right now but mann. Power Amp is so better than Samsung music, It's better than any player really. Finds HD pictures for songs automatically and even album covers , has good scanning features ( even though i turn it off ), Has BASS and alot of EQ options, Has the crossfade, dope skins. It just has so much better options and has always been my go to. Power Amp, Nova Launcher and Swiftkey bro are the apps i install as soon as i get a new phone or new ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] @rbiter:
Poweramp is good all around and easy to navigate. Neutron is good but has complicated and limited UI. Use FLACs to get the most out of your listening.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] haifish9999:
In my opinion PowerAmp is much better than the Samsung Music.... it has a lot of tweaking for sound enhancements and the application's interface.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] workingmomjd:
Is it just me, or is xda experiencing issues? When I go to the development forum, it shows less than 12 threads. The ROMS forum shows two threads, yet at the bottom of the page, where it lists the most active threads, it shows ones not shown (some I know *were* here because I had used them). I've disabled all my extensions, etc. Is anyone else having a problem?
[General Questions and Answers] greycobalt:
I've gone through quite a few Pixel 2XLs this generation and I'm in the middle of RMA-ing my fourth. Every time I transfer data between them, one or two apps lose their data but it's no big. However, every time I reload my Nova Launcher backup the Direct Dial widgets I use as speed dial break.

I assume it's a stock application adding them (Contacts?) and Nova Launcher will bring the physical icons over, but when I attempt to speed dial anyone there's a system message at the bottom that pops up: "Application not installed".

I have no idea what it's talking about, because I can go into widgets and set them up again with no issue besides time - takes 15 minutes or so to set them up. Not long normally but doing it constantly is so irritating.

Anyone have any idea why it would do this and what I can do to fix it? Or is there a better option for a one-touch speed dial widget? I've found all kinds with loads of options but I just want to touch my dad's face to call him.

Any ideas? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ananjaser1211:
Nothing, just wanted to keep twrp builder there as it gets auto updated every month, while mine would only be updated if im experimenting more stuff.right now they are on the same thing

Does it boot after ? that red msg is normal, if it stays on splash, what is your variant
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] Greight:
Yes and it works fine. BTW only appears on TWRP pre-boot screen. I have the G model.
[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ananjaser1211:
ok thanks for clarification, i thought it was stuck, ill add a patch to remove that red logo later.

{HELP} Samsung Galaxy J7 Pro Stuck In Boot Loader After Flashing Root File With Odin

Hey man,

XDA doesn't trust me enough to let me make my own post and as I'm writing this I'm supposed to be studying for the 3 exams I will be having.

So,

I rooted my phone susing ODIN and the same root file a few months ago on Android 7.1 and it worked. I used it with TWRP recovery and everthing was fine.

Then the Android Oreo update was released for my phone, finally, and I hooked my phone up to my laptop and downloaded the firmware using Samsung's new Software called SmartThings.

Now I had stock ROM, but my device was recognized as rooted and modified, so couldn't use a few apps like Samsung Health and Pay. Then, without thinking, I put my phone in Download Mode and flashed the SAME .tar root file with ODIN, and now my phone won't boot to the pulsating Samsung logo.

wanted to say that Odin said PASS when .tar file was downloaded in the AP slot

In download mode, it says

Current Binary: Custom

System status: Official

FAP LOCK: OFF

OEM LOCK: OFF

Secure Download: Enabled

WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0x0303)

I have access to STOCK recovery and download mode, and I've already tried factory resetting phone and wiping cache. I don't want to take more rash steps without someone knowledgeable guiding me. and I cant find any other forum to post on because I'm not a high enough member.

[Samsung Galaxy J7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries] ananjaser1211:
why did you format OS ? you only had to format data. you need to download latest firmware from sammobile or so and flash it on your phone, then do the twrp procedure again, just go to download mode and flash stock
