You have to take a pic of it with another camera to show a screen defect. A screenshot will not show a defect like dead pixels, cracks and such.

Use a camera to take a picture of the screen.

Here you go. I hope this will do.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] GuestK00143:
Yes that dose look odd. If you have a screen protector on it could possibly be that but you will have to lift it to check. Or it could be the oleophobic coating on the screen wearing away. If it's that contact Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Rémi Mlrd:
No screen protector. And definitely not the coating. It's image processing. Like I said, it disappears when I switch to FHD+ resolution. When I swipe up to open the lock screen or even the app drawer I can see frames shifting. I haven't tried all colors but it's remarkably noticeable on dark grey shades all the way to pitch black wallpapers (including Samsung default ones). I contacted Samsung and they are yet to reply.

Update

I tried this blue grey wallpaper and now it's all over the screen.

You changed DPI by chance?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] GuestK00143:
Yeah I get none of that. I ran screen test from the Play Store and tried different brightness and resolution settings. I would contact Samsung or where ever you purchased the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
OP should tell what he's using to test and show his issues.

He's only so far said this issue arises at a certain screen resolution.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Rémi Mlrd:
Nope. My device is not even rooted. It's as straightforward as it gets. Trying different wallpapers and all of a sudden I was stunned when I saw this on the lock screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Rémi Mlrd:
What am I using to test!! I sat a solid color wallpaper/screen lock! That's all. Not much testing really! I believe the issue is eye-popping at this point. Needless to say.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Download this and run some tests.View attachment 4607028
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Rémi Mlrd:
I did. A couple of remarkable findings (I'm no expert though). 1. In the DPI Scaling test, X & Y didn't match at equal percentages (i.e. at 150% X read 777.77, while Y read 783.77). 2. In the Gamma test the grey scale in particular wasn't accurate at all (instead of matching at 2.2 it was more of 2.5 and 2.6). One final unrelated remark: the screen doesn't support wide colors gamut. I don't know if that is the norm with all Note 9 units.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Same ,the wide gamut wasn't working for me either. Also my dpi was...View attachment 4607101
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Rémi Mlrd:
Any thoughts, then?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
To be honest , no I don't have any thoughts. These are slight technicalities that don't really bother me that much.

Im generally happy with the screen compared to the previous generations of AMOLED which was hit or miss due to red or pink and yellow uneveness.

On a side note, I don't believe most of what DisplayMate says about in their screen reviews. After all reviews generally these days are not truly independent.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Rémi Mlrd:
It is a hit or miss still. Big time! Black clipping is overwhelming. Grey gamma is way off. Image retention and screen filters (lock screen, notifications shade, and motion wallpapers) mess up the rest of which otherwise could've been Samsung's best ever display. I've witnessed an identical issue yesterday with my friend's unit. She hasn't noticed it (bright colorful theme applied) until I told her. And honestly I wish I hadn't. Because once you're aware of it becomes irritating. Both devices are EU/ME variants N960F/DS and both share the same manufacturing line number and production date. I can't be certain, but I'm starting to think we may have a developing pattern here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
What was the ladies screen issue that you mentioned ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Rémi Mlrd:
The same issue I have which is the subject of this post! I don't know which technical term is the most appropriate one to identify with really. It could be black clipping and defective screen filters at once.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Rémi Mlrd:
This issue which is the subject matter of this post was resolved through Samsung's September software update. This concludes the post.

Hello,

All around the web (especially XDA) I see a hell lot of people suggesting the person having battery issues to calibrate the battery, clean flash the ROM or flash the stock ROM.

I myself have replaced batteries of all my Android phones over 20 times and it never was a software issue. Not even once. They all were dead / faulty batteries.

So, of all the people who have had battery issues, I would like to know how many of them were software issues and how many were hardware issues?

Please try to detect placebos and not to vote according to them.

Thank you.

Hey Folks,

after reading a lot i switched from my Galaxy S7 to the Mi A2 and im really happy with the camera - after unlocking Camera2API and switched to modded gCam ;) I unlocked Camera2API over the temp. TWRP method and adb (in the TWRP terminal) on my August Version.

Now i was very unsure, if the official September OTA Update breaks my gCam Setup - but after the update :fingers-crossed: the modded gCam works perfect :highfive: so i dont need to redo the Camera2API unlocking :good:

@@@Best gCam Mod@@@

Thx to "celsoazevedo.com" for the nice Site: bsgfixPortrait-GoogleCamera-Pixel2Mod-Arnova8G2-V8.2.apk

All is working +SloMo +RAW :good:

I hope, i could help anyone with the decision to make the OTA Update and which gCam is the best (so far) :good:
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] ki69:
Great, i want to do that but i have the latest update ( september 1st and second update) and as far has i know the I unlocked Camera2API over the temp. TWRP method and adb (in the TWRP terminal) does not work for the ones that have the latest update.

Has it said in here:

I don´t want to root, just want camera2api enabled.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] dimitrij2k:
But maybe you can flash the complete Firmware from August (unlock bootloader with critical part.) and flash the complete older (August) firmware. Then unlock the camera2api and update the OTA (Septmber) ;) This was my emergency plan, if the OTA would destroy the unlock.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] S /\ E E D:
Download link please.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] ki69:
Tks, i tought that also, but for now i don´t want to mess too mutch with downgrade and command shell, just a clean unlock bootloader, enable camera2api and nothing more. I think the problem is TWRP, i will wait for an stabel/official version so i can go any further.

Can you record in 4K with google camera? For me it is not working no meter what gcam port I try.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] dimitrij2k:
Nope, but 4K is without stabilisation and only useable, when you own a ststiv or a gimbal. Free Hand recordings looks like **** in 4k. 1080p is with EIS and look way better, then sharp and shaky 4k ;)
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] dimitrij2k:

Hey to everyone,

looked already at all the world wide web but couldnt find any interesting informations ...

The computers and smartphones becomes day by day from soft- and hardware more similar.

As a light computer geek i am very interested to find people with nice developing skills for

an universal real live custom rom.

Mostly all computer OS have also a live distribution, so i am question why there is still no

way for the smartphones. Are here some developers who want to look at my first ideas

and realize a live custom rom?

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] cocus:
Hello, I've bought this phone 1 week ago and it works really nice.

Some things I really don't like, like the chinese ROM (which I'm waiting for the unlock to switch to global) and the fact that we don't have the 3.5mm headphone jack.

I know that the phone comes with one adapter, but it might get damaged in the long run (the cable is not sturdy enough). I tried an USB 2.0 sound card connected to the phone using a USB C to USB 3.0 OTG adapter, but by doing that, the wireless charging stops.

In fact, anything that I plug in the OTG cable will stop the wireless charging.

So, I want to know if those cheap USB C audio sound cards will behave like the official USB C adapter, or they will stop the wireless charger.

Also, are those USB C passtrhu cables with a sound card working in this phone? Because with that, I could plug a wall charger and also get the headphones.

BTW, I know I could use BT, but thats not my idea.

Any feedback will be appreciated,

Thanks!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] SubZeroNexii:
I think those audio jack/usb c cables should work.

The phone probably stops the wireless charging because the phone cant supply and get charged at the same time.

By using those cables you use the data pins for audio and the power pins for charging so it should work.

If you want to test this theory out use the original usb dongle and put it on the wireless charger.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] scote:
The official headphone adapter is analog without a dac so it is not a usb device as such. It must use a dac already in the phone. Wireless charging works fine with it. I can confirm the plugging in a usb card reader stops wireless charging though.
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] liverhook:
Long ago but still worth asking, because I haven't found the correct infos.

You mentioned, that this phone is capable of analog audio out through its usb-c female plug (= passive pass-through of the adapter).

Are you aware of the info, if it also supports the digital audio signal through this port. so that one can use an active adapter (usb-c_to_headphones) with it?

I've found nothinh in any specs.

Hi folks,

Yesterday I updated my 930F from SupermanRom 2.9.1 (Nougat) to SupermanRom 3.0.1 (Oreo).

After that, I couldnt connect to any of my bluetooth devices.

In the search window they dont even appear with their names, only their MAC adresses are visible (but not connectable).

Going back to Nougat didnt bring the bluetooth functionality back. Still not working.

Same for installing an old modem.

Now I flashed Lineage15.1....And the problem is still there...

So wtf?!?!

What can I try next...??

Little update..I can find my Laptop and connect when I activate its bluetooth connection. But the other devices like JBL music box still dont work.

Softreset disables sync

After a softreset it is normal that active sync dosn´t work with disabled advanced network funktionality on my himas with German ROM.

No prob, just enable, OK, then disable/OK again, and then connect to desktop.

Works fine.

After Hardreset I had the same problem with inserting/renaming the .dll file but the hint to do this at first worked at last.

[LG V20 Accessories] HR747:
Hi,

I am trying to connect a USB mouse with my LG V20.

I have to use office system thru VMware (only occasionally) and if i have a mouse that would really help.

I tried 2 different OTG USB to USB C adaptors, but the mouse does not seem to work or load. These OTG adapters load external SD card or flash drive without problems.

I have tried a wired mouse as well as Microsoft wireless mouse.

Is there any setting or an app that is needed?

I can buy a Bluetooth mouse if you think that will work with this phone. but if i dont have to buy an extra mouse that would be great.

thank you :)

[Samsung Galaxy A6 Questions & Answers] DutchArjo:
After I had an iphone for 5 years, I'm now back at Android once again.

I noticed I don't like everything, for example the Bluetooth settings.

I paired my A6 with my car radio for handsfree conversations. But I have to enter a 4 digit code about every week now. Which annoys me so much. I paired it once with my iphone and after that I never had to pair it again. Now my A6 keeps on telling me to pair it about every week.

So my question is : a samsung employee wrote me a message saying it is a security setting. How can I change this setting to never ask again, or, let's say, once per 6 months?

I hope some whizzkid has a solution to solve this annoying situation for me.

And in addition to this: how can I disable the popup screen showing the available Bluetooth devices when I turn on bluetooth?

I only want it to connect to paired devices automatically, I don't want to see a popup which I have to close.

I'm looking to buy this model SM-9600 unlocked which is sold in Latam and China, this comes with SnapDragon according to Gsmarena.

My concern is if this will be compatible in Europe/Spain as I will be travelling next week. What I've noticed in Spanish sites is that they sell the Exynos variation SM-960F.

What is puzzling to me, is that in GSMarea, it seems to indicate that this model SM-960F is compatible? for Europe and Global markets.

Does that make any sense, or both models are compatible all over the world.

[Oppo Find 7 and 7a] kettenschutz:
hi folks and first of all thanks for reading

because of high battery drain of my oppo find 7 with oppo VOOC 3000mah battery i decided to go for a new battery

i ordered a new battery, original from oppo 3000mah, at italy. its built in 2017

but the behaviour of the phone and the battery is really strange. within android the new battery hold no more than 4 hours

i tried to reset the battery with decharging and charging whilst phone is off

i fully reloaded the battery now 3 times, phone was always off while loading.

the consumption is similar than before, but there is something i didnt understand

as the battery drains and shows 0% at android oreo, the phone warns and shuts off

i can restart the phone and the android is fully loading. right after finished boot it shows the warning "battery at 0%. Shutting off".

i can do that several times. It always had enough power to boot

because of that i tried to boot in TWRP (custom recovery) and here the battery shows more than 15% left.

i let the display on and waited. Even if the battery in TWRP shows 0% (or in case of twrp it shows just nothing about the batt anymore) the phone is still on, for more than one hour. Still in TWRP with display on

obviously android is making some mistakes with the battery drain or its real voltage?

do you have experiences with this?

Yes, I experience the exact same thing.

Solution 1: setup 5.1, 5.0, 4.4, or 4.3 ROM, root, Xposed, install Battery shutdown manager 1.1 pro, disable auto shutdown.

This way the phone can stay on even when Battery reach 0%.

Solution 2: buy a genuine new Battery from Oppo warranty service itself, then the ROM can properly detect battery level.

Solution 3: Sell the phone and get another used device ???

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BigBigBoss:
Note 9 unlocked SM-N60U1 doesn't have the option to enable Wifi calling or anyway to setup VoLTE on the device. The option which is available on all other versions of this phone and other Samsung phones like S9+, S8+, Note 8, Note 9 etc. is not available in this Note 9 (SM-N960U1) version

This is a real disappointment after spending more than a thousand dollar on a premium flagship Samsung phone and you find out that a basic calling function is intentionally disabled by Samsung when it is available on all other versions of the same phone. The expectation when you buy an unlocked version is that it is compatible with all the carriers and can be used freely with all without any limitation.

I have been trying to find a way to enable Wifi Calling on this unlocked Samsung Note 9 and enable VoLTE on this device but so far have been unsuccessful.

Please someone direct me to a way to enable Wifi calling on this unlocked Note 9, would greatly appreciate it. :)

WiFi calling is the only thing that works on the U1 for me. View attachment 4606454
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] VadimTk:
it's been discussed multiple times already - to enable these extras you need to flash a carrier specific firmware, basically convert your N960U1 to N960U.

See for example: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/unlocked-samsung-note-9-finally-verizon-t3834685
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] XBOHDPuKC:
Interesting, I guess that's a departure from their s9+, where U1 came outta the box with wifi calling enabled and working perfectly fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BigBigBoss:
How does yours have that option? Mine does not have this option. See the screenshot attached.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
It's probably the network not allowing that menu to appear on yours. I was reading a few posts on the Canadian note 9 thread. Seems like some carriers over there limit certain functionality unless you bought their branded model. That thread is a worth a look if you haven't seen it already.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BigBigBoss:
Yes and it's sad. Look at the screenshots of my S9+ Call settings which was bought unlocked directly from Samsung. All the options are enabled.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BigBigBoss:
I'll look for the thread. But I doubt it. The carriers can limit the use of an option but can't just remove the option from the phone.

I have S8+ and S9+ both bought directly from Samsung and both had all the options enabled even before I put any sim in them. Check the screenshots of the S9+ it has all the options enabled and infact was using wifi calling at the time I took the screenshots.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BigBigBoss:
Thanks I'll look into that. But I wonder wouldn't this method cause Knox problems. And will I be able to use secure folder, dual copies of apps, Samsung Pay etc. etc.?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] VadimTk:
Everything will work, only you will lose Samsung Spam CallerID feature. No Knox problem, Samsung Pay continues to work.

And you will get your carrier boot animation - for some this is a showstopper.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BigBigBoss:
Spam caller ID is already disabled in this unlocked version just like WiFi calling and VoLTE. But if every thing works then it's worth a try. What about if I flash the Canadian Unlocked Note 9 version? Is that a possibility?
