[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
The most important part of your post is often missed by a lot of people.

"lock down their devices for whatever reason..."

No one thinks about the reason it seems. As much as it sucks for folks on XDA, the folks that come to XDA don't think about all of the people that DO NOT come to XDA, or why a device manufacturer that makes their devices primarily for the Corporate world, wouldn't want to let their devices be unlocked by the small amount of XDA folks that buy them.

And before anyone says "the exynos is unlockable!" Remember the Exynos version is international, not USA. There's are so much more benefits to Samsung keeping the USA devices locked than there are downsides. I work for a small corporate company of about 300 employees and I am not allowed to have a device with the bootloader unlocked, period. Why? I don't even know, and I am in the tech field. Each company has their rules and such. Imagine how much contracts Samsung could have with corporations out there for their devices. We used to have one, and look at how small we are. We don't have one anymore because it's cheaper to just have employees front the device cost instead of the company paying for devices! Lame I know. I fought against it but lost.

As far as the original question goes, no, you will not be able to keep OTA and root at the same time. Not for the way OTA are setup, and rooting works.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jult:
Now. You mean. It can (and should) change. The way the android permission model is designed, is totally corporate-based, not user-friendly at all. And if Samsung would stay on top of security-patches and push updates (like you have with Win10 now, which are still totally under the user's control without having to 'root' anything), that would be fine, but time and again these smartphone manufacturers have proven to stop giving a hoot after they've released a new model, if they even cared at all about security patching in time, because they apparently really don't. Not enough anyway. If they would, we'd already be running Android 9 on our Notes by now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] beta546:
That makes a lot of sense really, obviously there are going to be businesses and companies and such that wpild rely on their workers devices being as secure as possible, for multiple reasons. But again that's not really up to Samsung to decide really, now I agree that although there are a huge number of people that want to modify their devices in various ways, but on the grand scale it's a relatively low percentage of the market. Which is why I think it should always be an option, that way they cater to everyone. If a company has a requirement that all their employees devices stay locked down, they simply don't allow it, and if an employee does it regardless then the consequences would be their own. I guess Samsung could bake in the setting, but with an option at first boot as to leave the ability to unlock intact, or to choose to permanently remove any option of ever being able to do it. That way when a company bought the phones they could lock them all down before handing them out. But in the scenario where people must purchase their own device, they then would have to decide whether to follow company policy, or unlock the phone and risk potentially losing their job at worst because of it....that's just what I think really, but I'm in no way some business or manufacturing giant haha, there will be multiple arguments for and against this entire scenario.

And also thanks for the answer ? It was as I suspected, but always worth an ask.

Hey,

So the S pen remote control feature worked just fine in the week I got my Note.

But this morning I pulled out my S pen and I got an alert that says I need to reconnect my pen to the phone. I tried to do it, I tried to reset the pen to the phone, I wiped all cache, I wiped all data and cache of aircommand, I soft restarted the phone, and reset the settings to default. The only thing I didn't do yet is to reset all data. and I don't want to go there.

Is there any solution?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] phantom4u:
I don't think a full reset is gonna work either. I'm facing the same issue for two days now and have tried everything including resetting the device ?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Have you reached out to Samsung? This would be covered by warranty if it's a hardware issue.

The SPen connects via Bluetooth. Do you have any issues with other Bluetooth devices? If not, it may be the SPen itself.

Have you tried turning on the S-pen feature in the drop down menu?

So it's been 11 days since the Oreo update

Device seems stable to me, with kernel and source released,

can we at least have developers now?

I'm just dying to make use of my purchased apps that can only be used if rooted, honestly this device is just okay at the price I got it. but no development makes it worst decision of my life,

I mean there's better development for Sony Xperia M the device released in 2013, which does not even have enough internal storage to handle the new roms with basic apps, are trimmed, and our device, which performs even faster that that, is better than Xperia ZL, still it's not getting attention from devs,

Not complaining, but still... expecting

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZigZiggo01:
I went outright and bought the unlocked, 8GB/512GB directly from Samsung (actually via Amazon and got the wireless duo charger and dex pad for free) and activated it on Sprint. I have been fooling around with the local as well as global APN settings. The global assignment of "tether_dun_apn" that worked on the SGS8+ (which I had and my daughter now has) did not work on the Note 9. Additionally, modifying the local APN to include "dun" in the APN type alone also did not work.

What I found that is now working (and unlike the SGS8+, you don't have to cycle mobile data) was to completely delete the "tether_dun_apn" key from the global settings. Also set the "tether_dun_required" to 0. After that, set the "APN2 LTE|EHRPD internet" APN type to "default,mms,supl,hipri,dun" in this order.

Once I did this, my hotspot will turn on every time with internet connection and has survived multiple reboots. Keep in mind that if you re-provision, at the very least, you will have to modify the local APN settings again. I haven't seen re-provisioning affect the global settings.

You can adjust the global and local settings from ADB shell via "settings put" command (or for the local APN, use something like QuickShortcutMaker as has been done in the past with the SGS8/9 and Note8).

Hope this works for you guys; it is working flawlessly for me now....and no root/custom ROM needed (never thought I would actually prefer to say that)...

Make sure you know what you are doing as changing the APNs (especially at the global level) can render your data connection moot...I would suggest "settings list global" from ADB Shell before any changes - copy that output and put it in a text file so you have something to refer to if needed. If you mess up the local APNs, you can re-provision and it will reset those to normal Sprint settings...

Sorry I'm new to this adb stuff. I need you to explain more thoroughly on how to edit the apn. Also please give the commands to type in the adb and pictures to show what it should look like.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Forever Justice:
heard you could get dex pad and charger free how, by doing amazon or?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZigZiggo01:
Yes, it was via Amazon for the 8/512 variant. It may have been a preorder deal though. You will have to check...

Z
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZigZiggo01:
Do you have the unlocked version or the Sprint version? I have now modded both and it is considerably easier on the Sprint version, no adb needed...

Download QuickShortcutMaker from the play store.

Open it...

Follow screen shots attached in the below order:

1. Select normal search.

2. Enter "test" as your search term.

3. Select search.

4. Scroll to bottom where you see "com.test.LTEfubctionality" and click to drop down. Select the second "com.test.LTEfunctionality" entry.

5. In the resulting screen, select "Try".

6. In the resulting list, select "LTE APN Setting". Thus will bring up your local APN entries. The Sprint variant I have already modified only had one entry, "APN2 LTE|EHRPD internet", not all 4 like you see here for my unlocked version. Tap on this entry.

7. In the resulting list, scroll down and look for the "APN Type" entry. Tap on it to edit it. It should be "default,mms,supl,hipri,dun" in this order with no spaces between the values and commas.

8/9. Save the APN.

Restart your phone and it should work. You may have to cycle mobile data.

I may have put an extra screen shot in there twice...my bad...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] snoopyghozt:
Thank you very much. I have combed over multiple threads and none worked except for this method. Many thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZigZiggo01:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] 44gabitto:
Will it work with tmobile note 9?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ZigZiggo01:
Unknown. I don't know how Tmobile sets up their APNs or if they also utilize the global scope like the unlocked versions do.

You can follow the instructions I gave earlier in this thread to get to the local APNs, then take a screen shot and post it here. Just don't change anything at this point.

We can go from there...

Samfail unlocked phone died and now will not power on, get "Unknow Error" in upload

my battery died the other day and now the phone will not power on, will not respond to any of the standard button combos like download mode EXCEPT for upload mode, which when plugged in i can get to flash briefly before powering down again.

There's multiple posts on this in the Samfail thread, however everybody describes being STUCK in upload mode and many were able to get out via holding the download mode buttons for 5 minutes. I am, however, stuck with a dead phone and can only briefly get into upload mode and the download mode buttons dont do anything for me.

here's some posts on the issue:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/development/root-samfail-galaxy-note8-t3685340/page129

The thread has since been locked and i have no idea if other Samfail users have this same issue or not. Has anybody seen this or have any suggestions? My battery appears to be dead when its not plugged in and im guessing whatever is happening is blocking it from being charged.

Here's what I see when it flashes:

bump
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] men+at+work:
FYI - I fixed it, since apparently nobody on here has any information about how to fix this, i'll post the fix for posterity:

The problem is basically that when the battery goes to zero, it needs low enough voltage to bring it back and both the wireless charger and the fast charging power adapter are too high. So here's what you need to do:

you have to use a low voltage charger to bring it back (I had an old iphone charger from back in the day laying around) and put it on the wireless charger at the same time, let it sit for a while (10 minutes to an hour maybe?), then press the power button once the wireless charger lights up (indicating that power has been restored to the battery), might take a while before its charged enoguh to turn on. Once it does switch to a fast charging power adapter.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] kylemcallister4444:
Is this the first time you've let your battery die completely or is this just a new issue that arose? I'm just wondering because I remember I read something a few weeks ago about a bug that had been affecting people with rooted and unrooted phones alike where once the battery fully depleted they weren't able to get it turned back on. I believe someone wrote an app fixing the issue.. I'll go try to find a link.

Edit: wasn't able to find the page I was looking for but I did find another solution to your issue, stack charging .. basically just plug your phone in for 10 to 15 seconds and unplug it, wait for half a minute and repeat, apparently doing that between 20 to 100 times will give it just enough juice to boot. Seems like an annoying fix but I guess it's better then having to go out and find a low voltage charger.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
The app you mention does not fix the problem, it is called ddp, deep discharge protection, it just warns you about the battery reaching a critical point, in case you are rooted, I think that it can power the phone off, but I am not sure of it

[Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers] parakleet:
That happened to me way back when as well.

I would bet dollars to donuts that you have another app that isnt giving up the mic.

It happened to me when I had the soundhound quick identify widget running.

Once I got rid of soundhound I was fine.

Being that it is functionality and not the hardware as you have not included that you have issues with phone calls maybe go through your apps and remove anything that might be mic intensive?

[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] rkdeane:
I just unboxed and set up a Huawei P20 EML-L09. In the process of setting it up, it downloaded my carriers apps ( Virgin mobile) and apps from my home internet (Bell). It also came with popular apps such as facebook, facebook messenger and Instagram. The issue is it is not allowing me to delete these applications and some other bloatware (i was successful with some). For example, if I go into setting > app info > Instagram....I am given the option to Disable or Force stop, but the option to uninstall is not there.

Does anyone know the reason for this or how to bypass this? I'm very much used to the old stock android systems on the nexus line and am hoping to revert to something like that.

First of all this phone belongs to my dad. This means I haven't used it and I'm not familiar with many things about it.

The phone is running a stock ROM. It is not rooted, but it does have TWRP.

A software update prompt popped up trying to install "v20p-apr-03-2018" (why is an update for the G4 called v20 lol).

Telling it NOT to download it and NOT check for updates ever doesn't work. The update prompt comes back in 2 days tops. So **** you LG.

Since it's not rooted the easiest option seems to be to flash the update, however it just launches TWRP and does nothing. I found no way to actually download the update and keep it on the device so that I can manually tell TWRP to flash it.

So: Is there a way to download said update and flash it through TWRP? Or should I root it and delete the stupid update tool? I really don't want to flash a stock recovery.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdembiske:
Freeze or uninstall Software Update (LG proprietary, i.e., closed source, app) - may require root. That should stop the annoying requests. If you are able to upgrade you will lose TWRP and will have to re-flash TWRP again. You may want to consider that you do not have the latest Google security patches by not doing the update, putting your Dad's phone more at risk.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ast00:
It's not like LG updates security patches that often so it's not that big of a deal if I can't update it.

It's also fine if I lose TWRP during the process, I just want to avoid flashing stock recovery just for the sake of updating it.

And I still can't download the update and keep it. I don't know where it puts the update after downloading it. I couldn't find it in TWRP.
