[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] leondestiny:
id like to know if it is possible to flash OOS without needing to wipe the internal SD somehow?

i always flash custom roms to another custom rom without needing to wipe internal sd and thats rly cool.

but whenever i flash oos i use those fastboot zips and it wipes my internal SD.

is there some way to get OOS to boot up when i am on a custom rom ?

so question is , can i flash stock OOS while i am on a custom rom without wiping my internal sd.

if yes please guide me how to do it !

edit : So e.g i have this flashable zip of the latest oos "OnePlus6Oxygen_22_OTA_015_all_1808102118_770880.zip" can i somehow flash it within twrp and get it to boot up without wiping my internal sd ?

i had tried it before and i just couldnt get it to boot up.

It is best practise to wipe your data if your coming from another rom Otherwise you will get some error.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mikex8593:
You can flash the full ROM in TWRP. The full steps are to flash full ROM zip, flash TWRP zip, reboot recovery, flash magisk, reboot. Data stays in tact. SD stays in tact. There is absolutely no reason to wipe sdcard and anyone who tells you is full of crap. The only reason to wipe sdcard is to decrypt your device.

Also, stop using fastboot ROMs. It will wipe your data. It is meant for an emergency recovey, not for regular flashing.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] leondestiny:
thank you so much man, i initially had no idea ..

i thought for OOS stock roms id always need to wipe sd as it is a A/B device :(

thats why i often stayed away from oos.

but hot damn oos pie beta is so snappy and smooth..

same goes for Oreo oos stock what i find lots better is the speed /smoothness it blows custom roms out of the water..

and i even noticed that the FP sensor works a lot faster on oos.. in custom roms fp feels slow to unlock phone.

whereas on oos its instant.

i only wish stock oos had FLING.... the only reason i use custom roms at times is the usage of Fling..
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] mikex8593:
The a/b makes ota updates easier. While booted in system a, an OTA will flash to b while the OS is still running and after a reboot, it will boot to b, and vice versa. The reason for a reboot recovery after flashing stock oos zip and TWRP zip is to get TWRP to flash on the correct slot. You can change it manually in TWRP, but that method requires you to keep track of your slot. A simple reboot of recovery will put it on the correct slot to flash magisk. Without flashing magisk, bootloop will happen.

---------- Post added at 04:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

I also forgot! Delete your lock screen before flashing another ROM. That is why your sdcard is inaccessible. If you delete it before going to TWRP, it will automatically decrypt since the password would be technically nothing.

So I'm looking for advice, there must be someone that plays this game, so my friend got me into Fate GO ,but I keep getting error 60 which according to google means my phone is rooted OR may be because it is not an official ROM :confused:

so far I tried clean installs of RR and lineage OS :confused:

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] sukra_2004:
Hi,

My S9+ is two days old now. But as per "Phone Info - Samsung" app it is showing battery health as 94.14%.

It should be 100% or near to 100%, is not it?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mtm1401:
They can't be taken as accurate, accubattery makes a reasonable attempt to estimate based on charge current and battery wear averages but still isn't great, as you can see there is a difference between the two apps.

That said accubattery showed my health at 92%, I reinstalled and it's now at 99%.

Only way to be sure is to take it to a Samsung store
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] sukra_2004:
Thanks for your reply.

Now I have provided Battery usage and Accubattery health status.

What do you think?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mtm1401:
Your stats look pretty standard to me, it's probably a bit better than mine, especially as you're playing games (I've attached some of mine) - you can't trust a lot of the screenshots that show 48 hours with 8 hours SOT

In regards to accubattery, I'd suggest doing a number of charge cycles before making any judgement based on it. Also it is an estimate so not going to be exactly accurate
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] sukra_2004:
Till now I am happy with its battery performance as I have upgraded from S8. And I also know how to get 48 hours with 8 hours SOT...:D
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] mtm1401:
Fair enough, in that case I'd recheck accubattery after a few charge cycles and if you're still worried take it into a store :)

This is a fresh thread as this issue was getting lost in the UK thread.

CPW Offered £375 trade in but if you had a note 8, they offered an additional £200 trading making it £575 (Math good huh?!).

This made the largest note 9 512mb an affordable £524. An attractive proposition to many. Myself included. I certainly would NOT have upgraded to the note 9 from the note 8 based on the lower offer as there is little differentiator between the 2 phones. This was clearly the best deal available pre order.

However many note 9 buyers who have returned their note 8 are not receiving £575 only to be offered £375, or for those who took a screen shot of the extra £200 being offered £530.

Not sure what CPW are playing at but this is an issue where I'm sure trading standards might be interested and of course the media if this isn't resolved swiftly. In my mind this is a break in contract and loses the faith of CPW customers.

Stories here please.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jah:
Just received £530 as predicted even though the trade in offered £375 plus £200. I have raised a complaint via the online email form. I was told that the screen shot I sent shows I was offered £375 and that my case will be raised with their Trade In team. I'll chase again today. Last phone I buy from the CPW group.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] neildo:
Managed to avoid this trouble but hoping my experience adds to the knowledge base:

I was quoted £575 total online trade in for my Note8. Bought the Note9 online, delivered to store and collected - no problems so far.

A few days later I received the pathetic jiffy bag to send the Note8 back in. Immediately got cold feet and made inquiries with CPW web chat and telephone contact center. Long story short was that to get the full £575 I had to post it back to them but a store manager may authorise the return through the store.

I went to store and followed the advice of the web chat team - ask for the trade in to be accepted in store. The store manager refused so I then said 'here, have this Note9 back as I want an immediate refund'. This was done in a few minutes and I walked away with my Note8 unmolested.

On Thursday 30th Aug I went to another CPW store and asked for a trade in against the 512gb Note9. They immediately offered £550 off the Note9 and would order one in. Received it next day and a happy outcome for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] krunalv:
Hi - thanks for starting this thread as its useful to keep a track of issues with CPW!

I also pre-ordered with CPW and bought a sim free phone with them - i just spoke to their customer service team who told me that sim-free purchases are not eligible for the additional £200 trade in!! Has anyone experienced this too? Luckily i've screenshotted my trade in so will have to raise a formal complaint if they dont resolve but just wanted to make those on this forum aware that the customer service team arent quite sure of the facts.

On a separate note, have those that ordered sim-free got their wireless charger yet? I still havent got mine and they wont tell me if its been dispatched yet.

The customer service at CPW is awful and I wish i'd just bought through Samsung..... the only plus is that the phone is amazing (I just moved across from the iphone!) and wish i'd moved across sooner!

I have a screen shot that shows Sim free were also offered with the £200 additional trade in. PM with your email address if you would like the screen shot.

Hi all. I went into my local CPW in Burton on Trent yesterday and traded in my Note 8 and received £550.00. I paid £349.00 for the outright purchase of the Note 9 and walked out with it within 30 mins. My Note 8 had to be tested and reset

me too. Idiots.

Both my online and in store Note9 purchases with £200 extra trade in were on sim free.

Sad to say that you can see why high street retail chains are closing down. CPW and others just can't operate a digital and bricks and mortar businesses as a unified business model. All very sad.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
Now they've said whatever the trade in team offer (? what like £575 as advertised!) the social media team will bring it up to value offered, so long as the phone was working there shouldn't be a problem. However its now Tuesday and I logged this on Saturday (sent the phone 8 days earlier)....

JAH You are right about firms failing. I wonder how this crew ever stay afloat sometimes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kash:
My problem with CPW was I ordered my N9 upgrade on the phone and was told I could get an extra £200 on top of the £250 for my S8+. I clarified several times that I could take it to the store for the trade-in. I then was told it was only available for online or in store upgrades and not on the phone! So after complaining and having my telephone call listened to it was agreed I could take it to the store for £450.

Today I go to the store to be told my S8+ has screen burn and they will knock £120 off!! So I decided I'll try taking it to Samsung for an in warranty repair of the screen before going back to CPW!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
12 days (10 working days) into my phone being received by CPW and not a sniff of payment yet. Their website says payment will be made in 3 days of receipt. Appreciating they may have an influx taking longer, 12 days is taking the p....

They been informed of my displeasure this morning.

Still advertising the £200 extra deal. Anyone wants to check the terms click here:

Bought mine in store in Doncaster. Fab service and no hassle at all. Got full value plus the extra £200 for my S8+ and even got to keep it until the Note 9 arrived. Picked my new Note up at 9.15 on release day.

Service couldn't have been better. Top marks to Jenna and Nat who clearly knew what they were doing.

I'm still waiting to see what I get for my trade in. They received the phone last friday, so hopefully any time now they will send me the money. I have a screenshot/ chat exert from their guy that i'll send if it goes wrong.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] thecrater:
Hi guys,

I did a similar thing earlier this year with my other half's Galaxy S9. I traded in a Galaxy S7 and they were offering an additional £100 at the time. I received payment for the value of the S7 then a few days later the extra £100 was paid in separately. I traded in a Note 8 this time for the Note 9. I phoned them up and they said it was £350 so I said that I was offered £375 + £200, the lady put me on hold and then took my card details and said it will be done in separate transactions, £25 then £350 then the additional £200 after that. I've got a screenshot of the deal £375 and another one with the extra £200 with my order number so they can't argue otherwise.

Edit:

The lady said that they've had a few calls about this issue today and that it has been escalated so I think it's just a mistake or at least I hope it is.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jameslfc5:
Just my 2p worth;

I went into store and pre-ordered the Note 8, traded a Note 8 I paid £370 for and got the £575 knocked off the Note 9 straight away so I had £324 to pay towards. I got the Note 9 and the wireless charger delivered to my house on release day but I ended up selling the Note 9 on eBay as I didn't realize CPW didn't do the Dual sim version. Staff at the Trafford store were a complete shower of ****e though when I went in with a query about the sims. I used to work at carphone back when I was 17/18 (them were the days!) but the customer service now is absolutely shocking and customer support over the phone is even worse!

I would never purchase anything high value from CPW, in fact I cant see any good reason to purchase anything off them full stop, amazon ftw.

My mate purchased one online with CPW and has recently sent his Note 8 to the trade in center in Newark UK, it arrived yesterday and even though he had it reserved at £375 + £200 they have told him it is valued at £350 (the today price, not holding the price it was reserved at), after some arguing they have raised £25 to his bank (supposedly, if that ever shows up) and said that the £350 will be paid in a few days and the £200 additional will follow after "3/5 days" (he isn't holding out much hope, sounds like a cop out, but the phone calls are recorded supposedly they have made notes on the system). I will report back once all is paid.

No signs of the wireless charger on the online order btw, they told him this arrived 14 days after the phone to ensure the phone isn't returned (sounds like another CPW lie)

Good luck guys
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dayzee:
And here's my story. After receiving my note 8 last weds on the 29th, they took a week to deem it a faulty handset. Truly it was in great condition, but they have said screen burn and sent a picture. I am honestly not at all sure if it has the screen burn they say or not. They offered 130 and will honour the extra 200.

At that stage I had a choice. I could get the handset back, and possibly if I was very quick, return my note 9. Which could possibly have been another fight as my 14 days are up tomorrow. I could then sell the phone on eBay. Looking at it, used note 8 handsets are going for around 400 to 450 (a bargain I'd say) and after eBay fees and postage costs and PayPal fees, I think I'd get around 360 to 380.

So, I've resigned myself to chalk it up to experience. And an experience it has indeed been. Of course I ask myself why I thought they would give me way over the second hand value for my note 8 in the first place. Well, greed is the answer. Did they sucker me? Hell yes, they did. Are they dodgy grubby dishonest charlatans? Yes indeed. And that won't change by me getting my pants further in a twirl. But I will of course be warning all others to stay away. And I won't be caught again. On with the healing and best of luck to everyone.

So, as it stands no member promised £375 plus £200 for a working Note 8 has not yet received their money in full?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Think of the bright side. The trade in stateside doesn't even offer an option to return your old device back to you. If they deem your note 8 "not meeting their requirements" they give you a measly $25 credit. To add insult to injury one cannot return their note 9 back to store either , as they'll now be phoneless!

I may have to open a thread similar to this one about Samsung USA trade in .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] qasim:
So my story is that I ordered the phone on the 23rd of August, got it on the 25th. Spoke with live chat two or three times to confirm that I can trade my iPhone 7 for £240 in store plus the £200 bonus for £440. They assured me this is not a problem at all each time before and after I ordered.

I then got the phone, took it to store who I told I've bought my phone online, they said no worries we need to test it. They tested it and offered me £100 because there was an issue with the battery but couldn't say more. I took it home, plugged it into Coconut Battery which told me it was healthy.

I took it back into another store and had them test it, they told me it was over 500 cycles so it's considered non working. I don't understand that as the phone works perfectly! They told me if I replace the battery I will be able to trade it in for full value with the £200 bonus.

Oh well, I went to the Apple store and took them up on the £25 battery replacement. Took it back in last night, it was fine, showed the full £240 value and no bonus. Was then told that I can't get the bonus if I bought online and trade in through the store.

Now I just got off the phone to Carphone Warehouse, they said it's been more than 7 days since I received my phone and I won't get the bonus. I told them that I was advised over chat multiple times that I can trade it in store but they said unless I had the chat transcripts to prove it then they can't do anything.

They said that they can't pull these transcripts up without me submitting a full Subject Access Request and aren't willing to help.

I guess I can take solace in the fact that I'm not the only one they're messing around. Either way, this puts me off CPW for any purchases ever again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Razuddin:
Just to add my experience to this, Carphone Warehouse are the biggest bunch of (insert your own expletive here). So i traded my note 8 in, they offered 575. Sent my phone last Tuesday, they receieved it wednesday. Hadnt heard anything by friday so I called them friday asking for an update. They told me they would "escalate to the trade in team".

Heard nothing back so decided to call them on monday. They advised that they had received the phone and would be transferring the 350 to my account within 3 days. One payment of 350 and then the additional 200 on top. I advised that i was told it would be 375 not 350 and to return my note 8 and il return the note 9 if they wont honour the price. I wont bire you with the argument i had. Basically she said she would "escalate my complaint" to the trade in team and id hear back within 3 days.

I randomly check my account yestrrday and find 2 transactions for 330 and 200. So fuming that they messed me about i called them today. Long story short the lady from customer services said she will be paying me an additional 45 to make up the difference and a further 15 on top for compensation. I now need to wait 3 to 5 days to see if i get the monies in my account.

But i will never ever deal with the bunch of **** faces again!! Never have i come across such an incompetent company in my life. How they are still in business is suprising. They seem to have messed a lot of people about with this trade in deal

Seems you're accepting this?! And yeah I screenshot every chat with them. Record every phone call with them with one of the many great recording apps. ACR, thank me later.

Popped into cpw today at lunch, traded in an s7 , got £310 for it and bought a sim free note 9.

No issues and very easy

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
Received £350 today. No email nothing. They obviously offered todays price and haven't included the Note 8 £200 offer. I've followed up with further messages and evidence. I won't ever set foot into CPW after this, instore or online. Sheer incompetence. I've bought all of my notes bar 2 from them. And other phones for my daughter.

I've dropped a note to trading standards and referred them to this thread.

UPDATE fecking utter incompetence - they are now saying it'll be another 5 days to escalate (again) to the trade in team. Logged a formal complaint (probably handled by the same muppets)

I've been on the phone to them at least 4 times this week and they have been useless!! They have my iphone but cant confirm if they have tested it or what the value is!

They received my phone on Monday and promised to confirm trade in value by Wednesday. Its now Friday and they still dont have a clue and now i've been told they need to contact the "trade-in" team so it could take 5 additional days for a response! Quite why they couldnt do it on Wednesday i'll never know!

I've told them if its not sorted today ill return my phone as my 14 days are up tomorrow!!

I have never bought a phone from CPW before and will never do so again in the future! They havent got a clue what customer service and just lead you around in circles....

Btw has anyone that ordered online got the wireless charger yet? I fear yet more chasing by all of us to get that too!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bonerp:
my 14 days expired yesterday and they said not to worry as they'd get it sorted without needing to return. Guess what, they haven't. I've got evidence of what they said and if its not resolved by Monday I'll be taking the note 9 back for a full refund as they failed to meet their promise.

£350 received today. Utter disgrace of a company.

Received the charger yesterday.

Hello all,

Today I received £550 for my Note 8. Still waiting for the remaining £25 which they confirmed this morning would take 3-5 working days so it should come in by Wednesday next week. They also said that the wireless charger will be in by Monday at the latest if not I'm going to call them back.

Edit: Just received my £25 as promised.

Total amount received for trading in my Note 8 is £575. Happy days :)
