Did that on my old Note 9, twas working for like 2 hours, same **** after, literally zero impact.

Same **** happening on the Note10+, I'm helpless and hopeless.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] shahoom59:
Maybe try by clearing cache of the particular apps, force closing and reopening. And you could try and disable Google search app. I also had to redo this atleast once a day.

If the problem comes only when connected to WiFi, then try to change router settings, create a guest network and connect to it. It also seemed to work for some. Sadly, these are all just temporary solutions which may or may not work. People paying for high end android devices shouldn't be facing this frustrating issue ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Bober_is_a_troll:
None of what you said will make a difference unfortunately. It has to do with Samsung's app optimization. It's auto-enabled for every app by default, and is enabled for any newly installed app.

You need to search settings for "optimize battery usage". Once in that menu, at the top, you'll see a grey bar that says "apps Not optimized". Tapcthis and change it to "show all apps".

Now, deselect any app you want instant notifications from. Phone, sms, Gmail, ECT.

I had tried this long ago several times with and without factory resets. Didn't work for me even once. The adb doze disable also didnt work first time when the android version was Oreo
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] psychofedex:
I actually think that its about wifi going into sleep mode or whatever because on holiday, i was located in a place without wifi, and everything worked just fine on 4g.

I searched about solutions for wifi sleep mode and how to disable that possibly via adb, but i could not find anything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Klakklik:
Thanks its work for me

Thanks Its work for me for fixing problem on WhatsApp incoming call notification won't popup.

After turning off battery optimization, my whatsapp incoming call show normally both in screen on or off
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] VR07:
Try disabling wifi throttling in developer options. I've this issue on a note 9 running android 10 it is the only thing that fixed the issue. I believe turing on high performance mode or restoring settings from an old samsung account triggered this.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Brand smith1:
I was also facing this problem but it was resolved when I updated my WhatsApp.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] JLFitzpatrick:
I've read some posts here (and other sources), seems WiFi calling, HD calling are supported and there's a couple work arounds for the camera Shutter sound. What about voicemail? Prefer to go unlocked and keep the bloat ware off. Any other surprises on an unlocked N9?

Coming from Sprint where I had to buy their LG V20 (after a very bad N4 experience) to keep most of these calling features. But it's time for a change now that I moved and T-Mob has better coverage than Sprint (probably true everywhere).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] black96ss:
Using note 9 unlocked on t mobile. Everything works except video calling but if you really want that, then you can flash just the tmobile CSC file via Odin. That will add the video calling tab back on the dialer. It will not add the t mobile bloat apps but i do believe you will get the t mobile splash screens on boot/shut down
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] JLFitzpatrick:
Thanks for the response and suggestion, that's very helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
I tried downloading the Visual Voicemail app from the Play Store on the U1 and had no luck getting it to work. The same happened when I had an S9+ running the U1 firmware. When you flash to the TMB U firmware though, it is included and does work. If you choose to flash to the TMB U though, you will want to brush up on some ADB commands to remove some of the T-Mobile bloat, which is still a lot less than most other carriers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] CrazyApe18:
Not a customer but I like to be able to assist people who are. Can you tell me the problems you had with the app from Play Store while running U1?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Samzebian:
You can use the visual voicemail app on the unlocked note 9 for tmo, you just have to go to the app settings and enable all permissions. For some reason the app never asks you to enable the permissions, but after changing the settings it works fine.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
I will give that a try the next time I have one of my devices on U1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] parusia:
When you are saying T-mobile CSC, are you talking about CSC or USERDATA CSC? Thank you for your answer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] CrazyApe18:
No such thing as USERDATA CSC. USERDATA and CSC are two different files in the Odin image. In this case he is saying you should flash the TMB CSC (not HOME CSC, since that won't do anything) and the feature will appear for you. I am most curious about this, since it would mean applying U build files to a U1 build. I don't have much experience with that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] kzqg:
I recently bought an unlocked U1 but flashed the TMB U firmware on it a few days ago. I only did so because I heard the data speeds were substantially higher (can anyone confirm/deny this?).

Also, is there any way to get visual voicemail to work through a phone app? It's just so seamless on something like an iPhone or Pixel but I've never gotten it to work on my Note. I really don't want to use a whole separate app just for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Have you tried going into Settings, Apps, and enabling permissions for the app? For some reason, the app doesn't have any permissions when you install it from the Play Store. Try giving it Storage, Phone, and Contacts to see if that gets it working for you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] CrazyApe18:
What you heard about speed is a rumor. The speed is no different on U1.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] kzqg:
Do you mean to say if I give the standalone visual voicemail app permissions that it'll show up accessible in my phone app (as an extra voicemail tab)? If so that'd be great but from the way you worded it I assume you mean just using the app itself which I was trying to avoid.

---------- Post added at 09:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

Good to know; thank you. From my understanding then it doesn't really matter except for updates? I got the impression the unlocked gets quarterly security updates while the T-mobile generally monthly (but a month behind). Pretty sure they're both on the Sept. update right now so it's hard for me to tell.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jcsww:
I am not sure about a third party vieual voicemwil app. It can't hurt to give it a try though. I was referring to the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] kzqg:
Ah ok, understood. I've always used phones that had the visual voicemail integrated with the phone app, so it's unfortunate that doesn't seem to be possible in this case.

What are you guys using for Ad Blocking on a brand new 3 XL not rooted yet.

Ad Guard with Samsung Browser is good. DN666 not bad, but sucks for Chrome. I've noticed if using Chrome almost non of the non rooted ad blockers work ?

For stock it seems Samsung Browser does ad blocking best.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] bkrickles:
I've been using adclear on my 2xl unrooted for about 6 months and it's been solid. Probably will continue with it when I get my 3xl tomorrow
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Zorachus:
Thanks, I've never heard of AdClear before, just installed it, and it seems to be working fine in Chrome.

Is it a battery drainer like some other Ad Blockers ?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Dusty Rhodes:
To be a true nerd, I set up my own VPN using a Raspberry Pi, and my home network filters ads with a piHole. That way every connected device at home gets filtered, and when I'm away I VPN back to the ad filtered house network.

It's been three years of running flawlessly. It took me $70 and less than 90 minutes on a Saturday afternoon, from unpacking the first package to tucking away the devices and taking it for a spin.

No rooting for any devices after you set it up. Everyone in the house gets ad blocked and it gets you in the habit of using a VPN on public networks.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] rgbc:
What's going on with Adblock and Chrome? I've been using that combo for a while now with no issues.

Do you have HTTPS filtering turned on?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Zer0_Cool:
If you use Nord VPN they have a feature called cybersec that works without root and blocks ads.

Look at their privacy statement and you may change your mind about using adclear
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] unsungzero1027:
This is what I have been using on my Pixel 2 and my girlfriends Galaxy s8+. I use the MOAB ad blockers and a host file list made up from Keweon's DNS and it works amazingly. It also will let you white list apps if the host lists is causing issues with it (e.g. it stop spotify from running 100% and using the search function so I white list spotify). You can also choose the DNS you want to use and its open source.

AdGuard for for years now. https://adguard.com/en/adguard-android/overview.html
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] sacthegreat:
I have been using adguard subscription. Not the one available in playstore..

It's quite expensive, but I got it for 20$on stacksocial for 2 desktops and 2 android devices lifetime.

And this works great! No ads on browsers as well as apps.

Works on my macbook as well.

Gave the other part of sub to my wife, so it's perfect!

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
If you use Firefox there are several extensions that block YouTube ads as well as removing many annoyances. I prefer this over running the app, Vanced or not. Better experience all around. In fact Firefox is actually my YouTube app because I use it for little else.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] phi303:
I like Vanced except that it doesn't let you cast, maybe I'll try out your firefox solution.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] krabman:
I hate the minimizing thing that the app does, it serves no purpose in my usage. I also don't like the wasted space along the bottom because I'm never going to use any of those tabs, ever, they just take up real estate that could be showing me something else. So it's not really that Vanced is bad, it's an excellent piece of work, it's more the app itself that annoys me. Just wanted to clear that up, I wasn't as clear as I should have been when I posted.

Hi. I have a Lenovo Tab 4 8 inch tablet (TB-8704F). I rooted the tablet and in the process of trying to get rid of the Wifi feature I tried deleting the file wlan.ko from /system/lib/modules.

Are there any specific regions I can flash that will let me have samsung pay with paypal support on the latest firmware? Someone told me Germany would work, I flashed it and it doesn't have samsung pay at all.

N950F
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
If you have purchased a N950F/FD you should be able to install a OS from a EU country on it. As they are cross compatible. However if you have purchased a UAE device you will need to reformat the internal storage on your device too.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Sillibird:
Yes, I understand that, and have been installing/flashing the other ones fine. However, I am looking for a specific EU Country that has samsung pay enabled, and also the ability to add a paypal account to samsung pay, so I can flash that regions and get those features.

What EU firmware i can safely install on my new Note 8 with Malaysian firmware? I've never flashed any phones before.Many thanks for all help
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] iceepyon:
You shoukd be able to install any N950FD stock Samsung OS onto it. Regardless of which country of origin the OS. You might still need to repartition and format the internal storage.... Not sure if you need to do that for Asian devices. But I do know you have to do that for UAE devices as they are partitioned differently from the standard international N950F/FD devices for some strange reason...

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] freebee269:
been playing with my pixel 3 xl for 3 hours now non-stop. i have to admit, this is damn good phone. the UI is very snappy. i have yet to encounter any lag. the screen is very good, it's as good or dare i say a little better than my iphone xs max. been playing around with the camera, and it is as advertised. it's so easy to take a great photo. you just point and shoot and google's algorithm works its magic in the background. i havent tested the video part yet. i really like the feel of the back of the phone. that glass that has a very soft matte feel feels great. i turned off the active edge, not a fan of that. i'm currently using 2.2gb of 4gb ram with 6 apps opened in background. i dont forsee many ram issues. but you never know, as hardware ages then issues do tend to pop up. the notch is a non-issue for me after always looking at iphone's notch. but i do see why lowering the screen down to the bottom of the notch and keeping the real-estate above it all black with just the icons in the black would be appealing. chrome does that very thing if you are in the google app and go to a site from the app. and it looks pretty good. all in all i gotta give google props. in my opinion this is the best pixel phone ever made.

What about brightness compared to the XS Max?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] freebee269:
it is not as bright at max settings as the xs max. but then again i'm inside at night and the pixel is plenty bright. we will see how it fairs outside in direct sunlight. but to be honest it doesnt seem like it will be much of an issue. it's more of a bragging point for the iphone than an issue.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pure+:
That's odd cause my 3xl actually seems maybe a bit brighter than max. I'm also in a dark room.. hoping that maybe my iPhone is just throttling brightness so to speak. iPhones usually get brighter in daylight, at least if you have auto brightness on
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bsg411:
I was curious if you guys have auto brightness on because the pixel phones get brighter with auto brightness turned off

Nice to hear people with the iPhone XS Max review this Pixel 3 XL, and I mean real people, not professional YouTube people.

I'm a Nexus / Pixel fan myself, going back to the Nexus-One, and waiting in line for the Nexus-S.

But I gotta admit, playing with the XS Max at best Buy couple different time recently, man was I impressed with that phone, Great screen. Love how it's almost bezeless, with the display taking up the entire phone, and no chin. And it was SMOOTH and FAST. But...iOS, I just cannot get comfortable with iOS. Last iPhone I had was the iPhone 7 Plus, and iOS 10 just was not a fun experience. Being so used to stock Android phones over the years.

But man the iPhone XS Max had me thinking of switching :)

Anyways, my white Pixel 3 XL came in today, and I like it. Currently been using the Pixel 2 XL.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] krabman:
Yeah, Mrs Crab has a coolaid device and I can see the attraction, in my mind it's not bad so much as an answer to a question I never asked. Hard to get fair comparisons though because fanboyism is huge nowadays and even people like me that are willing to give the other side a look have a bias thats going to go one way or another. It was interesting to see the video out recently with the YouTube phone reviewers in a room in Vegas and the one guy asked which phone they actually had in their pocket for personal use. There were Pixel 2 XLs, iphones, nothing else. Marquees had one of each. No other brand was represented, no Samsung, no Oneplus, etc.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] NICEGYPT:
lol I did not even know that :D
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lyall29:
I also have both phones to compare. I really like both iOS and Android, but I have to admit that I like Android a little more because of the freedom to install any apk I want and split screen apps. IMO, the only thing that the iPhone XS Max has over the Pixel, is better sound from the speakers. Last night I started a movie on Netflix(on my Pixel) and I thought that the top speaker wasn't even working. The bottom speaker is so much louder than the top speaker, it sounds like all of the sound is coming from the bottom speaker. You don't really get a sense that you have 2 front facing speakers. I watched the same video on my iPhone and it sounds great. Other than that, I like both phones equally.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pure+:
Okay I thought the exact same thing about the speakers and thought I might be a little crazy because nearly every single review on YouTube raves about the speakers. My iPhone speakers, at least to me, blow my P3XL speakers out of the water. Same thing with the top speaker as well, it sounds like it’s barely even on. So much for “40% louder”
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lyall29:
I'm not happy to see that you noticed it also...I was hoping my device was defective. It's not only the volume difference but it's also muffled, like everyone speaking has a spoonful of peanut butter in their mouths. I think I'm still going to keep the phone, because I like everything else. I also use headphones most of the time anyway.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] Pure+:
Yeah that’s my exact experience too unfortunately. It seems like the just too much bass/vibrato going on with the audio. I can feel the phone vibrating the sound better than I can hear clearly what’s coming through the speakers. I’m also keeping my phone cause hopefully it’s a software deal and can be fixed (not that it ever will) and my iPhone is my Daily driver now anyway because where I work we are heavily integrated with apple, not to mention the dual sim e sim feature when it comes out will be awesome for my work line and having both numbers on one device.
