What do you think? Are there guys with some programming skills? Is it possible to modify the app itself?

I wonder how s-unlock manages to create new authorized accounts on the server.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] attitude12:
They're probably faking the MI server. Just like "iPhone hackers" used to. I guess they basically replicate the MI server as best they can, then use as the official one.

I highly doubt that this would be possible on an amateur level.

Cleanest would be Odin if you use CSC and not Home_CSC (Home_CSC keeps data, normal CSC does a clean wipe), since it's basically a factory flash.

OTA's build on top of what's already there, and often people complain about phones being slow after an OTA yet works fine after a clean Odin flash.

Odin won't affect warranty unless you flash custom firmware, anything stock is safe.

Is there a registry hack that will allow me to change this to "immediately" "every 1 minute", every 2 minutes" ? I am using pop3 and *not* Verizon's push or wirelesssync service. thanx, experts.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] LineageP2newb:
So I am pretty new to this, but here goes....

About a month ago I got some help from a friend and downloaded lineage OS 15.1 to my Lenovo p2a42 device. Very happy with everything, until yesterday when the phone began to vibrate and then proceed to shut down with a blue indicator light showing. After some fiddling and attempts to get the latest update of lineage, I got stuck in my first boot loop. After all my various attempts to solve the problem, I decided to do a clean wipe and reinstall lineage. Which I've done successfully I believe, no crashes yet. What I am having trouble with now is remembering how to download the first applications since I don't have the Gsuite or Gapps downloaded. I remember my friend mentioning a problem with the stock file manager for lineage and I believe that is one of the first applications we downloaded along with the apk pure app store.

If anyone can help this newbie figure out how to download the apk mirror to my device without an appstore, I would appreciate it.

>maybe the answer is to download to my laptop first and then use adb to flash it to my device?

Thanks for the help!!
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] XDAquareis:
If you want to have Google apps on your phone, search for Open GApps and download for ARM64 devices (nano package is recommended). Then flash it alongside LOS in TWRP. You will have Google Play Store installed.

But, if you only want APKPure store then you must download the APK from their website (either via computer then move it to your phone, or by using default LOS browser). Navigate to your downloaded APK using file manager and open it, you will have a prompt to install it or not. That's pretty much it though.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] LineageP2newb:
I downloaded apk pure directly on my mobile from the website (not interested in GApps). It opens in the LOS default file manager and there are basically no options to run it. I think this is because the root may be disabled, my boot loader is unlocked, but it says adb only in my developer options settings. I am new to using adb to flash an apk. I was able to flash lineage, but not sure how to install the apk. For instance, should my phone be on when I enter command install xxx.apk or should it be in recovery mode or boot mode? I tried once already and the apk install failed, not sure what I am doing wrong here. Thanks for the response above.
[Lenovo P2 Questions & Answers] LineageP2newb:
Answered my own question. Was able to download a file manager using adb, this allowed me download apk mirror.

Hi, I was having problems with SIM cards in a custom rom so I just did "fastboot erase modemst1 | fastboot erase modemst2" but it completly wiped my baseband, IMEI and whatever SIM-related informations. Downloaded stock firmware using Lenovo Moto Smart Assistant and flashed NON-HLOS.bin using "flash modem NON-HLOS.bin" but it didn't solve the problem.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] bingefeller:
Currently I have an iPhone 6S and want to make the switch back to Android. Part of the reason for this is the quality of the battery life in the iPhone 6S. I've had mine for a little over 2 years and the battery health is at 75% and I have to recharge during the day with moderate using, which is listening to music via Spotify over 4G and browsing the internet.

I am thinking seriously about buying the Samsung S9+ or S9, but thought that I would come here to get some opinions on it.

How does the battery life compare on both of these models? My typical usage consists of browsing the internet (I don't watch a lot of videos online on my phone), steaming music, emailing, texting and phoning.

The apps I mainly use are Amazon, Amazon Music, Bank of Ireland Mobile, Boots, BT Mobile, BT Wi-Fi, Ebay, Imgur, Instagram, PayPal.

So, forgetting about the price difference, what would be the recommended option? Battery life is important to me.

My other, non-Samsung option is a Huawei P20 Pro.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] centrezuk:
I recently upgraded to a S9+ I wish I had got the p20 pro or the S9
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brunotuga:
Well both are good with the S9 plus will be a bit better due to the extra 2gb ram but to be fair if you don't open to many apps at the same time won't be different. Had my S9 plus since lunch. Last year got the S8 lunch date and sold it after 2 week was good but there was something missing, with the S9 plus its like they fixed the little things I love it.

My brother has the 20 pro and ye camera is good baterry to but overall like the S9 software experience more.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] bingefeller:
Why do you say this? What makes you regret getting the S9+?

How do you find the battery on the S9+? Do you own an S9? Just wondering how the batteries compare on them.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brunotuga:
My battery is OK nothing especial last me the day with good use video gaming social phone and text. Have 2 brothers one has the 20 pro and little one went to the S9 and he said is fine is battery he listens to music a lot and social and so far so good.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mjones73:
So we can buy more overpriced hardware with buggy software holding it back?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] centrezuk:
Battery life on the S9+ is alrite nothing to brag about. I took my phone back into the Samsung shop as the coating has come off my phone after a month. I was playing with the S9 in the shop whilst waiting and it fits perfectly in my my hand Vs the plus.

I only got it as I wanted the extra ram and spec but in reality they are both equally as good
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] RISHI RAJ:
Considering that Android phones are also now 1000$,iPhone's price seems justified for more powerful chip & better optimisation leading to utter smoothness. Believe me when I say my 6s+ is still more smooth & without stutters than my S9+.Also op was using iPhone from past 2 years that's why I suggested him iPhone
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Demonface.24:
I'm not sure if your aware but you can get the battery replaced in the 6s for about 29 or so dollars if your located in the United States . Honestly I'd do that instead of getting a new phone now and seeing something better come out and end up immediately regret my purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Devhux:
Even an S9+ (or any phone honestly) will have a degraded battery after 2 years. Honestly that's not a valid reason to want to switch back to Android.

Now if you just didn't like iOS, then I could see wanting to to switch, but don't do it for battery life of your current device alone
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Abaddon:
I had the Oneplus 6, P20 Pro and now on S9+

the Op6 is a beast but camera isnt that great so I switched to p20pro, the thing w that is I cant unlock the bootloader anymore so I went w the S9+, first I had a snapdragon one from HK then swapped to an exynos one. overall the s9+ is the one that got my heart although I had to wait a week for rmm jail time to flash stuff. snapdragon s9/s9+ has better batter for me though.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mjones73:
Oh I agree they have better specs, iOS 11 is a pile of steaming crap that holds their potential performance back. Hopefully they fix their issues with iOS 12. I just couldn't justify buying one until they straighten their OS out.

Wait for the pixel 3
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] brunotuga:
S9 plus all the way. The pro is nice the camera and battery but the rest didn't like. The finger print on the back is natural to me the way I use my hand and the pro at the front was a draw back. Notch no so good
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] MoccaBullFlower:
For sure it's not justified. I bought my partner iPhone x, she added 200 USD and got myslef and a her new s9+ 128gb and 64gb version (for me) instead of that one 256 iPhone x.

We both used to have iPhone before.

Utter smoothenes?? It's not 2009. My S9+ flies well. My Gf is just off her 6s plus it is not comparable to s9p don't be funny.

Better chip? Like I mind to be second faster or slower. I don't play scores. Reality is that you don't notice the difference whatsoever.

However, because phones nowadays getting so close my next move will be to One Plus. More bang for the money... Let's be honest.

It's not cos we don't have money. We both are well off bringing in more than most folks will ever have... But having said that I really like to Get good things for my hard earned money and iPhone and next samsung ain't that.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:08 PM ----------

Go and get the S9+ the battery is good enough. I'm getting between 6 and 9 hours SOT. DEPENDABLE WHAT I DO Of COURSE. Easy to get 6+ hours in heavy use.

Initially the s9p had issues with battery, but I didn't get much of that since i bought my phone in August and indeed before I updated the phone, my battery was ridiculous. However, when Ive hit the android update button, stopping the ignorance of the software update. The phone worked wonderfully and the battery was beyond excellent.

Anyway the other reason to get S9p is the camera. It's amazing. I know ppl say for camera the huawei is also really good but for 80 USD extra i still love the Samsung more. Huawei is sure good phone but I don't think they are at the level to get the phones this priced. Not that I think it's necessary at all to spend so much money for any phone anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] CyberLykan:
This is turning into an iOS versus Android thread. Please, just stick to the main topic.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] pabel101:
i was using a Pixel 2 XL for 5 months i loved everything about it except the screen and weird bugs so i eventually move to the S9+ and HOLY JESUS the camera is GARBAGE maybe its a hardware issue with mine. i tried super slowmo and my video was Really dark as if i was in a room with no light on but i was recording in a fully lit room with lights on, the camera also isnt living up to the hype and the mode i cared about the most was Portait mode/Live focus and my god was that terrible im thinking maybe i need to adjust a few things or my phone might have a hardware issue but im gonna return it and go back to an S8. i bought the pixel cause everyone and everywhere i heard about how amazing the camera was and it definitely lived up to the hype
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mtm1401:
My two cents on your question :)

1. Go to the Apple store and replace your battery

2. If you don't want to do (1) - if you are concerned primarily about battery life get the s9+ (or note 9 if you can afford it, extra 500mah battery would be ideal)

3. If you can do (1) - wait for the next generation of phones, they will have the 7nm processors that look to be roughly 20% more efficient than the current generation so expect more longevity

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sb1893:
Hey All - so this is a weird problem. I'm running Android Pie on a Google Pixel XL. Stock. Unlocked. Rooted. (Magisk 16.7 (1671) w/ Magisk Mgr 5.8.3). I've been running and using Google Pay for a long time successfully. I have two credit cards stored in my account and the only times I need to re-enter / re-verify them is when I disable security (usually to use TWRP to install Magisk when TWRP is unable to decrypt - which is currently the case). But once I have verified the cards (via text message from each bank), I usually never have to worry about them again. However, since upgrading to Pie and after initially verifying the cards, I have had to unexpectedly reverify the cards even though nothing has changed about my configuration or the cards themselves. It happened once a few weeks ago - shortly after the Pie upgrade which I assumed was just something I hadn't completed after the upgrade (even though I believe I did). And then it happened again yesterday. I went to use my phone to pay via Google Pay at the store and it prompted me to verify both credit cards (Setup Card for use in store)...

Anyone else experiencing this? Or am I just lucky? The reverify is painless - but can be annoying - especially when you don't have your wallet and there is a line behind you at the checkout counter...

Thanks,

S
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] JD_dadada:
Google Pay can be used under rooted device?

I'm used to use Google Pay very often, but didn't encounter that need to re-verify cards again.

I had tried device unlocked, rooted, but I can't use Google Pay since my bank add the root detection for the security.

It's very surprising that you're running Google Pay with rooted device.

I have seem others encountered double fingerprint verification.

Not sure if you're the same case with them.

BR.

[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] sb1893:
I've always been able to leverage the root hiding capabilities offered by the root providers I have used. Originally suhide for SuperSu...then when I moved to Magisk MagiskHide. Both have worked well for my root (and unlocked bootloader) hiding purposes. I've always been able to use Android/Google Pay, banking apps, alarm system apps, Netflix, etc...Occasionally, the cat and mouse game catches up with the root hiding solution, but the developers have been pretty quick to overcome any of the challenges encountered thus far.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] GuestD0451:
Got the same problem with verifying card.

It's just poping up the verify load page and then goes back instantly.

I hadn't got any problems with it before so it's strange for me.

I tried hiding root, reinstalling, readding card and even installing older versions of google pay.

However I am on Galaxy S7 Edge Oreo
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] javlada:
I have exactly the same behavior on my LG G5 with root and Magisk. My bank is mBank (part of Commerzbank) if that matters.
[Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers] GuestD0451:
Looks like I found the problem (at least in my case).

Some ROMs got issues with fingerprint scanner. I noticed that in my bank app after adding the fingerprint unlock it started to crash. Also in google play I couldn't add fingerprint as payment confirmation.

In Google Pay one of the steps of verifying cc is fingerprint check. I think that this fingerprint bug may cause the google pay to fail.

After installing a ROM with fingerprint scanner working properly (now I'm on LineageOS) the issue went away. Got my cc verified successfully with root and rom :)
