[General Questions and Answers] palpable:
I have an old phone used only for mapping which has worked perfectly for years until a walk 3 days ago, after which I came home and removed the battery for charging. It is now booting direct to the Recovery menu, with a selector arrow rotating between Recovery / Fast Boot / Normal boot. No combination of volume up/down and/or power button makes any difference, the selector arrow keeps moving from one option to the next without pause until the battery is removed.

Phone is a Zopo ZP920 running Android 4.4. I have two removable batteries. The USB socket is broken, I can't attach it to a PC or charger. It's never been rooted.

Is there anything I can do to make it boot normally again?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Nope, its gonna require connecting to PC.

Your options are:

1) get the USB port replaced on the device.

2) replace the motherboard in the device.

3) get another device.
[General Questions and Answers] palpable:
Pah, that's not what i wanted to hear. Thanks for taking the time.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
One other possibility is the power button might be sticking. Does it continuously boot to recovery then power off and boot to recovery again repeatedly? If so, I'd say the button is sticking.
[General Questions and Answers] palpable:
Good thought but no, 'fraid not.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
If the device has a stock OTA update.zip that can be flashed in stock recovery available and if your device has a removable sdcard, you can try downloading the update via the internet then put the update.zip on the sdcard then boot to recovery then try applying the update from sdcard. If the update contains a system.img, it might fix your device.
[General Questions and Answers] palpable:
The selector arrow cycles through the three options and nothing I've found will invoke actual selection. That's without an SD card in place, I'm doubtful it'll change but I'll look for a zip and give it a try. tvm.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
Is it automatically cycling through the options even if you aren't pressing any hardware keys? Could it be the volume rocker is sticking? Not the actual button itself, the hardware components on the inside that the rocker actuates when pressed up/down? It is tricky to tell whether or not the components are sticking, a mixture of sweat and dust works its way behind the rocker over time and can get down inside the components that are the actual buttons and gunk it up such that the button doesn't click/unclick as it is supposed to. Opening the case and cleaning the button component behind the volume rocker with alcohol and a Q-tip while actuating the button can loosen the gunk and wash it out, then just wait for the alcohol to evaporate, then reassemble the device, then try powering it on.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Giocarro:
Please bear with me because this is a genuine question as I'm going to get a new device on November and am very undecided between these two devices.

In my humble opinion both devices have strenghts and weaknesses.

S9 has excellent display and camera, good audio, feature rich firmware, wide ecosystem.

I'm close following the development of upcoming Pie release, too, and it looks very promising with the arrival of night mode (dark UI) and gestures.

Samsung also has good theming features and some extra bonus like Good Lock applications.

The main point that makes me doubtful is performance: living in Europe I would get an Exyons version and I know I will not root because many vendors here states that by rooting we lose warranty.

So without root one have to stick with the default Samsung firmware, and as far as I can tell (from on-line resources) that's not the most optimized experience performance wise; I'm interested in animation and UI smoothness most of all; I don't care much if an application takes a couple of seconds to start, but when I drop down the notification shade or I scroll around I desire the animations to be smooth as butter, without dropped frames.

On the other hand, OnePlus has always be bragging about the speed of their devices and 6T claims are no different; nonetheless it will probably have an inferior hardware in all other departments (and it will also have a notch, thing that I don't appreciate much), and no theming features.

So, what's your advice as real users?

Please be constructive as I don't want to turn this thread in a flame war between brands, just discuss about pros and cons of different approaches.

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] vigneshnallamad:
I have both S9 and OP6. I would suggest OP6 anytime over S9. Looking at 6T leaks, it will be much better thn S9.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] jamil aboudaher:
I am using the Exynos 128GB galaxy s9.

Well, I think both phones are great, If you care about very smooth and fast animations when opening apps then go for the OP6. But the galaxy S9 is very fast and it doesn't lag, it feels smooth except when you go to bixby home from the homescreen, the transition is laggy there. But you can disable bixby home if you wanted to. Personally, I like the animations of the S9 since the animations of the OP6 are very fast and identical to stock android, so I think that i'm experiencing something special with the S9. And I love infinity wallpapers !

Also, the S9 has more premium look like the curved front and back and the reflective back glass.

Anyways, design and animations are related to personal preference.

Speakers are excellent on the galaxy S9 and the dolby atmos made me feel that I'm right in the action.

Cameras are awesome but the front facing camera needs some improvements, I heard that there's an update rolling out in this month for S9 & S9+, and it has many fixes for performance, security and camera.

Talking about security, the S9 is much more secure than the OP6, and despite the very fast face unlock of the OP6, the S9 is still more convenient and more secure, especially that intelligent scan can detect your face/eyes at low light, and can't be fooled by a photo.

Battery is good, not the best out there, it can last you a full day, but I think the OP6 has a better battery than the S9, i don't know if it's better than the plus.

And with the galaxy you also have the ability to expand your storage, so you don't have to worry if you take a lot of pictures or install a lot of apps, and it has everything a smartphone can have in 2018, so if you care about this much of features, I'll definitely recommend the S9 over the OP6.

Finally, you won't go wrong with any of these devices, both are awesome, the OP6 has a good price, and I don't think the S9 is overpriced because you pay for what you get. I think there's many deals for the S9, you can check them.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] androidfreak70:
I wouldn't get a OnePlus 6t because it doesn't have a micro SD card slot nor a headphone jack, I use these features a lot. I also still prefer the on the back fingerprint reader and the S9's overall design and camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] wratnik:
No 3.5mm jack. No wireless charging. No sd card slot. No stereo. No waterproofing. Incomplete display. U kidding?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Killuminati91:
You can not lose warranty by rooting in any eu country by law.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
If you are a device modder then the OnePlus 6T is the device for you. If you want a device that works well straight out the box then either will be great. However I prefer the SGS9 as it has a microSD Card slot and a headphone jack.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Giocarro:
After OnePlus 6T launch I took the plunge and ordered a Samsung S9.

The key points for the decisiion are dimensions (OP6T is too big) and software experience (Samsung gives better customization features with themes and Good Lock).

Display without notch, wireless charging, waterproof protection and stereo speakers are obviously welcome, while a little less performance is not an issue for me (I'm not a benchmark addict nor a gamer).

So, all in all, for 500 Euros I think I could not make better purchase than S9!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] MidnightDevil:
In all honesty I'm very happy with my S9+, I found no lag what so ever and animations are smooth , personally I cannot complain .

The only drawback so far is the updates (specially major versions) take their sweet time, like Samsung always did , however you always have treble if you want an AOSP experience , it's smooth as well, all features working except proprietary Samsung hardware.

And yeah, wonderful display, good sound, headphone jack, microsd, are all pros, get a case though because if it falls it's not forgiving as some devices are, the beauty of the screen and back makes it prone to brittle.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] nexnebula:
Used OP3, trial OP5T & now own S9 exynos

S9 is better. EU law state you can't lose warranty by rooting, but check with provider or something.

I will only compare software side here since I don't have OP6. Anyway, if you will flash stuff a lot, then the sd slot is very helpful. When you go custom, stuff WILL go wrong and you may have no choice but to complete wipe including internal storage, which if you like me have over 60gb of organised media, the sd card helps if you save your stuff there.

And when you do restart with new rom, samsung cloud is better than OP google cloud when restoring app, settings, ect.

There ain't really much of a performance difference unless you're that kind of guy but then you won't be looking here. The issue with S9 tho is apps don't hold well in memory due to ram size. It's not catastrophic like music app close or any force close, just apps refresh a lot. Also oxygen os is close to vanilla if you like that, but samsung is more colorful to me.

Battery wise, OP is way better. even with OP3 3000mah battery I never worry about what's left, even more so with 5T. Dash Charge was really great too-1hour and it's done. With S9, I'm always fidgety about charging it cause it charge so damn slow(2hour+) and drain fast, sometimes I have to change my daily schedule just to finish charging the damn thing!

In terms of support, obviously OP is the best, even now OP3 is still receiving updates. However the BIG problem is hardware. By now OP6 has stopped production, if you break anything there's no replacement. No production also means no new developer. You can look in OP3 forum where developers drop roms because their device break & OP just sent them newest device, which is nice but suck for us. You could easily get accessory to S9 due to popularity & samsung center are all over the place.

Well overall, I'll still get S9 because of sd slot, stereo speaker, wireless charging. There wasn't any lag or performance difference in daily use, just that ram issue(should've get S9+).
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] rusty.gh:
S9 or S9+

My completely honest reply is the S9 is such a stronger phone that you should chose it and simply fix what you think will be issues.

1. Use "Package Disabler Pro +" to kill any bloatware, no root needed. I'm telling you though, most things can be removed if not disabled.

2. Run Nova Launcher Prime

3. Use bxActions to remap bixby button and add to volume buttons if you do the ADB tweak.

all no root, full control, and it's a way better phone!

I have been a big fan of oneplus since its debut .

I have had oneplus x , oneplus 2 and oneplus 3 .

Then i moved to iphone 7 and now i have a samsung s9plus.

The only thing that bugged me with oneplus was randoms bugs appearing here and there in normal day to day use .

Now moving to samsung i feel that software isnt very responsive and fast .

I see slowdowns and lags here and there .

Any one who owns a oneplus 6 or 5t as well , can u compare the s9plus to oneplus ?

I am planning to sell my s9plus for the upcoming oneplus 6 ..

What do you guys say?

Please give your opinios .

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Abaddon:
I had the oneplus 6 along w the s9+ (exynos)

op6 is faster ( a bit ) but the camera on the s9+ is way way better. I never had slowdowns or any hiccups on the s9+ though.

but with that aside I'd go with the oneplus. more development, more choices more everything.

I'm planning to sell my s9+ and get the 6T next month.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aj7400:
What aboutt the screen wuality and battery performance?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Abaddon:
I get the same amount of SoT with both. But charging w/ the oneplus6 is faster and more convenient.

Screen quality on the s9+ is a bit better, but hardly any difference between 1080p and 1440p.

I really loved both. But prefer the OnePlus 6. I just stayed with the s9+ and sold the 6T when I heard 6t is coming due to the s9+'s camera. I just hope the pricing for the 6T isn't that high. Phone pricing nowadays are getting ridiculously high
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Guides, News, & Discussion] aj7400:
As per the rumours the 6t will start at 38000 ...

I don't think that it is a budget pricing anymore .

Just recently on sale the 6 was available for 27000 after applying discounts . That was a good deal

Hi

I am using Lenovo Yoga Book for school and reading. Android's interface is a little bit missing the abilities to make it easier to use with mouse and multitask effectively.

Is there any app or launcher that I can install so I would use the tablet in an easier way? Something that would look like maybe like Chrome OS or give me the experience of DeX (without connecting a monitor), which at least would help me with multitasking (multi-windows).

Thanks.

My phone was working fine. Today I've put my phone to charge and it was about 75% then I had enabled Stay Awake option in the developer option to update my apps from Google.

Because normally when I update and the screen goes off it doesn't update the app. So it was one way to do it. This method I've used for several years (I mean I was watching the phone while playing games on my PC).

But today, My phone was charging from a powerbank and I was in bed then I woke up to do some work on my PC. The phone was on my bed still charging and updating the apps but I saw that the power bank was low and my phone was turned off. I took the phone and it was hot and it wasn't booting.

I tried charging from its charger from the wall socket for more than 20 mins, the phone gets hot again but won't show any charging animation.

I tried connecting it to my pc via USB it doesn't make any sound.

If you have an idea what happened please tell me. I need this phone.
