[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] zeema:
Hello everybody

Back to android os after many years using note 8 (exynos)

Have many questions want answers

1-My battery sucks so does flashing a custom kernel will preserve the battery??

2-After flashing a custom firmware can i be back to official rom anytime and continue to recieve official updates anytime as i may need secure folder option which is only found on official roms

3-any recommendation for a rom that is stable or a note 9 port for exynos note 8??

Thanks in advance and sorry for the silly questions
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OnnoJ:
Custom firmware only after root, which will trip knox and thus the end of secure folder (irreversible)...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
Congrats! This dwvice is really good, about your batt, why do you say it is bad? How much SOT it is giving you? Average SOT around here is from 5 to 6 hrs, it depends on how many apps you have, and which ones are those, facebook is famous for beeing a batt hog , there are some threads about this, now about flashing some kernel, I think that would help, but regarding the secure folder, once you root, or flash any custom firmware, you will trip knox, and samsung pay and secure folder will be gone FOREVER, there is no going back, no way to revert the knox 0x1 to original 0x0, so, think about it carefully, if secure folder is really important for you, you can only flash official unmodified firmwares, besides, if you trip knox, SHealth will stop working too, although there is a patch to make it work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] zeema:
I can get back to official and get updates but wont get the secure folder back right??

About SOT average is 4 hours although i followed many threads switching off alot of stuff like edge lighting and onscreen display and location service
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
You will get OTA when you flash an official firmware, some buddies report that it must be a firmware intended for the country where you use the device, and in some cases a specific firmware for the carrier that issued the sim card installed, but some others get OTA with only the firmware beeing official, I think it is carrier related, you will get OTA, just choose the firmware for your specific conutry and carrier to be sure, and if you tripped. Knox, no, no secure folder and samsung pay
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] zeema:
Thank you so much for your reply

Any recommendations for specific root/kernel/recovery/rom??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
I really would not know, I bought my note 8 in october 2017, since then I installed bk disabler pro, to avoid updates,, and I did not have intentions to root, so, I am running stock 7.1.1, for me it was more important to control running services and disabling unwanted apps, I heard rummos back then that samsung was blocking bk disabler with the updates, so I blocked OTA, my device runs very fine this way

Well, day 2 and first problem. Phone connects to my work wifi but I get no internet connection. My other phone is connected with internet connection at the same time. Both phones have same settings afaik

WHEN YOU GET YOUR NEW PHONE, CHECK WIFI/INTERNET SERVICE ON ALL OF YOUR USUAL NETWORKS.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] wtharp2:
Does your work wifi have any restrictions/security on it?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jwis921:
Sounds like a local ip conflict or something else on your router side not a problem on the phone side. Did you follow the basic rule and restart the wifi router?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
1 It is not my router; it belongs to my employer

2 My OnePlus 6 is here too and connected to the internet

3 All of my coworkers' phones are connected to the internet
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jwis921:
So the phone works fine on your home wifi? It could still be the router. At my business if it has not been restarted in a while, new devices will not connect as too many ip have been given out since last restart so no more will be able to connect.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
I did a forget on my op6 and it still connected to the internet
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] jwis921:
That does nothing as the router has an IP stored for that Mac address currently. It's not renewing it's lease, the router just sees it as the phone has disconnected and reconnected like it does every day you go in. If the phone cant connect to any wifi then it's a hardware issue. Otherwise it is more than likely a network issue with the router.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:
I can connect to any other wifi just not this one
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] gettinwicked:
Sooo, I had a similar problem on Wednesday when I got my phone. During setup it wouldn't connect to my WAP (DHCP). No matter what I did on the phone it wouldn't connect. I went into my networking equipment settings (Cisco everything) and reserved it an IP. Worked. Thing is, sometimes I open an app that requires Internet, and it just spins. Or music won't start playing, whatever. I turn off then back on my WiFi and it's fine. I'm going to reboot my networking gear tonight and un-reserve the IP, see what happens. I REALLY hope this isn't a hardware issue on my phone. I'll be pissed if I already have to get a replacement.

Also, restarting the phone doesn't fix my issue with no Internet, only turning off then back on the WiFi. Might be something worth trying.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] lollyjay:

I didn't mean the WAP or router, I mean the WiFi toggle on your phone.

The WIFI performance on P3 and XL is not good. My old ass S5 outperforms both by a large margin on 2.4 and 5. My home router is high performance Turris Omnia. The pixels sometimes drop wifi completely in the bedroom 20 ft away (with horsehair plaster walls). In the driveway the S5 and Nexus 10 have solid connections and I get nothing from the P3 XL. This issue might be the last straw. WTF Google?

Check your WIFI connections before return window expires.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Guides, News, & Discussion] bsg411:
My work it department enacted a rule whereas they want to know every device that is on the network so I have to submit a network address request and give them my Mac address so they can allow my device access to the wifi network again. Maybe your work it ppl are doing the same thing. Maybe work devices are allowed by default.

Also my p2xl wifi reception is weak... I'm about to get a wifi mean network setup so I can get better coverage throughout my house.

My phone seems to be working better the last couple days. I had some problems yesterday, but it ended up just being YouTube Music. Also, my network speeds are great. Even when I was having problems a lot, my link and Internet speeds were up at the top of what my gear offers.

To anyone having, or has had problems, submit feedback on it from your phone. Maybe Google will see it and do something about it. I'm really hoping for a lot of fixes in the November update.

[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyklamin77:
Hi there,

I have received this Galaxy Tab 3 (SM-T311) and it does not turn on nor charge.

I have tried the various suggested button presses, I have tried unplugging the battery for a while. Now I am leaving it to charge but this was already tested by the previous owner with no success.

I would like to find out if charger circuit, battery or motherboard need replacement.

I have tested with a multimeter that battery leads show 3.7V - with charger plugged or not. With battery removed the leads show a value of 0.4V.

Can somebody help to figure out whether it is a battery problem, a charger circuit problem or a motherboard problem? I think it might be one of the first two since battery charge should not be so low.

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyklamin77:
By the way, I have already been through this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m2VJ_VRIRSI

Which comes from this blog post: http://www.bigpicturebigsound.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-3-Won-t-Charge-or-Turn-On---How-to-Fix.shtml

I am not using the original charger and cable but a 2A one, sorry but I do not believe that the original USB cable and PSU would be any different :D it's like with HDMI, it's a standard. The only thing that could change is the power intensity which is 2A as per original.
[Galaxy Tab 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] martyfried:
Sorry I can't help, except to say it sounds just like my problem. I'd been using mine mainly as a clock/alarm clock using a great alarm app. The battery was good enough to last about 15 or more hours with a clock display on, but then I left for a 2 week vacation, and decided to turn the tablet off rather than leave it on a charger. Came back and it was dead.

I also did all sorts of button presses, used various chargers and cables (I have the original charger, which works for other devices, but didn't help). I disconnected the battery for several hours. Tried charging off a computer USB-2 port. etc, etc. Still, "It's dead, Jim".

I suspect it's the battery, which is pretty old now, and has been left on the charger a lot lately, though not 24 hours a day. Lithium batteries don't like to go totally dead, but I guess that's what happened. If the tablet were still useful to me, I'd try a cheap one from Amazon, not really expecting it to last a long time, but useful to see if it works without losing too much.

I've seen one repair tech who fixed a similar problem by disconnecting the battery and connecting it to a power supply briefly to give the battery enough of a charge to get the phone to start charging it normally. Obviously, this is something that mere mortals would not be able to do.

This is a kernel, based on androidlover5842's kernel, which is based on CM11 kernel, which is based on Android kernel, which is based on linux kernel.

This is the same androidlover5842's kernel, compiled with much newer GCC 7

- GCC 7.3.0 (armv7-eabihf--musl--bleeding-edge)

- GPU overclock disabled because it will drain your battery

- read ahead restricted because you have low ram

- disabled a lot of cpu governors and hotpluggers because you have low ram

- disabled a lot of USB drivers, ext2/3 drivers, media drivers, debuggers, tracers, PS2, Keyboard drivers, PCMCIA drivers, modem drivers, GPU drivers, because you have low ram

- added MY hotplugger that will really DISABLE cores (you have 4) to save battery whenever possible, screen being ON or OFF

Faster overall system, no tweaks needed, just install via your recovery on top of any CM11-based ROM!

*Update* I managed to download a Verizon 7.0 firmware (G920VVRU4DRE1_G920VVZW4DRE1_G920VVRU4DRE1_HOME.tar) and the update worked but the phone is locked on Verizon, on other sim card works, so the question now is how do i unlock this phone for a Europe sim card and to flash a UK BTU firmware on it?

Hi,

After rooting my j730f oreo with magisk. when i call another person and hi is in call. My phone don't give the notification ^ call waiting ^. Any idea please?
[General Questions and Answers] miamicuse:
I have an HTC 10. I have heard so many horror stories on significant battery drain issue after the Oreo update so I have not updated to Oreo yet. I have read somewhere the issue has been resolved on Android's end but there is no more update on the HTC end to incorporate this update for the HTC 10. So every time the Oreo system update prompt came up I did not allow to update to proceed. I had it set to update only on WIFI and always ask me prior.

This morning I must have accidentally hit OK when the prompt came up while I was scrolling the screen for something else and it started to update. I immediately turned off WIFI but it continued the download with my mobile data. So I turned off mobile data as well on my phone. Right now I am at:

Software Update: 3.16.617.2 (1.32GB) Download is paused because your data connection was lost.

Shows a status bar at 3%.

I cannot find a way to cancel or stop this download and subsequent update. Is there a way?

I tried long press on the download screen, the Updater only has options of: Block all, Show silently, On the lock screen, Override do not disturb, all having to do with notification presentations but nothing to cancel the download altogether.

I went into Settings > Apps and popped up Device Configuration and did a FORCE STOP. that didn't do anything. There is an option there to UNINSTALL UPDATES but I didn't touch it since the update hasn't started yet and not sure if this app even deal with system updates.
[General Questions and Answers] miamicuse:
Just tried a Wipe Cache Partition and rebooted. The system download is still being queued. There is no way to stop this?

I am surprise it will continue to download this huge file even with WIFI off. I had it set to not download any updates unless WIFI, but I guess now I understand it means this is only checked when download started, once it started it will download on my cellular network if WIFI goes out of range? This is a poor design.

Now if I let it download, is there a way to stop the update once the download is completed?
[General Questions and Answers] miamicuse:
I went ahead and turned on WIFI to allow the downloading to complete. Once it completed it asked me about installing with two options:

Install Now

Install Later

I selected Install Later and it gave me a choice of being reminded again in:

30 minutes

1 hour

2 hours

4 hours

So I selected 4 hours and dismissed it for now. It will ask again in 4 hours, I assume there is no way to dismiss it for a month or a year.

So now I have two questions:

(1) Is there a way to disable this reminder prompt?

(2) Where is this downloaded file? Can I find it with a file manager and delete it? and if it is deleted will it trigger an auto download again or will it go back to just prompting me to download once in a while like before?
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
There may or may not be a method to disable the update notification but it will require root. You'll probably have to figure out how to disable the notification for yourself.

Try doing a Google search for:

"Disable update notification (your model number)"

Or

"Disable update notification on android"
[General Questions and Answers] miamicuse:
well,it just get better and better LOL.

I didn't want to install the system update, but it happened, accidentally. I was out and about, and was in a middle of texting someone, and for a split second while I typed, the system update screen popped up. Since I was in the middle of typing, it took my typing as a confirmation to "Install Now" and began the update. Never mind I only had 31% of battery left at that time and never mind I was not even home and needed the phone. I just can't imagine Google never even bothered with a "Are you sure you want to update now?" prompt. Incredible.

So after it finished the update, a good 30 minutes later, it rebooted, then did more updates, rebooted, and eventually, it started up again, and a lock screen pattern dialog popped up. I put in my pattern and it says it is not recognized. I am certain the pattern is the one I set. Yet something caused the correct pattern to not be recognized. So now I no longer can access my phone. It says I have 28 more tries before it deletes all phone data.

So now I am totally crippled without a chance to even back up all my data.

Anyone know of a way to bypass the lock screen pattern?

If I have to factory reset in order to access my phone again, will the reset bring back Android 7 (original delivered version of the phone) or will it be Oreo (new updated version)?
