[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OnnoJ:
I tend to disagree. I also own a Steadler Norris Digital. I find it quite fragile, mainly due to it's length. While it may not break during active use, I think it is vulnerable during transport/storage. Also the Steadler Norris lacks a button , which prevents use of functionalities in some apps (like activation of air command). It is a very nice replacement stylus though for specific purposes, I agree to that, but for me only for drawing on my larger Samsung Notebook 9 Pro.

Basically all S-pens are compatible between the Note series, and Samsung also has offered alternatives:

The full size pen for the Note 10.1 may be an option:

Samsung also has a stylus that holds a Note 1 S-pen, which I also own, and is quite sturdy as well:

Not sure whether the Samsung pens linked above are easy to buy...

Stylus holder seems good

That stylus holder thing looks good... Never heard about it... Let us know the reviews if you get hold of one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] OnnoJ:
I have that one since long time. I bought it when I owned a Note 2. Works flawlessly with all samsung Notes I have/had (Note 2, Note 4, Note 5, Note 10.1, Note 8, Notebook 9 Pro).

Holds much better than small S-pen from phone. Button is also easier to use. The stylus holder can only accommodate the Note 1 S-Pen - it was included with holder.

Althouth sensitivity of the S-pen has supposedly improved over the note series, when using the holder with enclosed Note 1 S-pen with Note 8 I do not notice the limited pressure sensitivity of that old S-Pen compared to the Note 8's own S-pen.

You may find the holder on ebay or other site...

I don't have pics but they all just broke in half. not much to see
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] CfYz:
S Pen from Note10+ fits and works, and more S Pen is newer version made from one plastic part instead of two pars on original Note 8, and much harder to break :) The downside - it's shorter, so to press push button you need to use little finger nail:)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] clifford64:
So I use the headphone jack in my car to play music off my note 9. Every time I get in, I turn the volume all the way up on my phone, past the warning, and then control the actual volume with my car's stereo. I have noticed sometimes that when I plug my phone in, the volume differs even though I turn it up to max on my phone. I have noticed sometimes it is louder than usual if I leave the volume the same on my car. Has anyone run into this and know what's going on?

I do have Dolby Atmos turned on. Atmos is set to music preset. It also does it with Dolby Atmos turned off.

I use a Bluetooth remote to control playback. Everytime the remote connects, the volume fluctuates and generally goes back to a quieter setting. Sometimes it stays at a louder setting. Does anyone know why?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] raul6:
Maybe media sync is on; check under settings /connections/Bluetooth/ 3 dot menu/ advanced
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] clifford64:
I can check, but would that impact anything if the Bluetooth part is just for playback and it has no effect on where audio plays?

After formating my athena it automatically starts to install something!

Does anyone know what it installs and if it is possible to stop it from doing that?

I want to make a new fresh installation and only install programs that I like and want!

I have the original WM6 rom!

Please help!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] techntrek:
I think you are seeing the device initialization, something that HTC has inserted into the ROM installation process. Not something you want to stop if you want the drivers so everything works.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Confucious:
It is the Extended ROM - basically all the customisation your carrier installs.

But why on earth use a standard ROM rather than an AP one?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] branko.savic:
AP one?

I am not familiar with that, what is it?

Thanks in advance!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Confucious:
AP = Athena Project

A group of very clever people have created ROMS for the Athena with all the good biots and none of the bad bits.

The latest version is 3.0 Dual at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=346221

But 4.0 is finished and will be released when the unlocker is ready.

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] branko.savic:
If I install the AP 3 Rom, will I void my warranty?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] irus:
yes, because you have to use olipro's unlocker first so your device can be super CID

edit: your original question - i think but im not for sure be if you stick the stylus in the back and and do a soft reset right before the customizations start then next time your phone loads it wont load that stuff but there is some stuff in there you might want.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] raskell:
Quite Correct! A soft reset during the three second warning will bypass the customizations. No harm in trying it without the customizations, then do a hard reset and let them install. If you don't need any of the extras, you can hard reset again and bypass again with the soft reset. :D
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Confucious:
Yes - although you can flash back to an official ROM your device will have to be super CID - but most operators don't notice the super CID and people have claimed off their warranty successfully. One person recently got their device back from T-Mob and it was CID locked again!
[Xiaomi Mi Mix 2S Questions & Answers] hofi01:
Hei

i updated to this version coming from Miui 10 global beta 8.7.26.

with China TWRP and MAGISK 17.3 ... works perfectly

but in the developer options i see ...

Allow OEM Unlock (is active), normally the field (icon) is grayed

and below

MI unlock status ...

the device is locked ...

I click on add account with device, i see Mi account and device are now connected .....

but OEM Unlock is 1000% open (and was on Miui 10 global beta 8.7.26 displayed as well) otherwise I would not have TWRP and Magisk

Is this a BUG, ​​or does MIUI just have a status/server problem?

Please look at your versions once what is there ... and reports

THANK YOU

Kind regards

In the attached photos you will see correct and incorrect converted "slock files"

When you follow the guide from above. Between 2-C and 2-D.

If the you get just a long string of letters and numbers (512 characters to be exact). That string of numbers it that state is "text" it needs to be "HEX". , to do this there are command line tools to do it. But it can be done in a user friendly way in a hex editor program. But this needs to done as hex and not text. The photos show both examples.

In the correct edited photo the long string is written to the left side (the hex area)

In the incorrect edited photo the long string is written to the right side (the text area).

SLOCK CONVERSION

FOR command line use

Copy the long string of text as regular txt file NO EXTRA SPACES -- for this example name it slock.txt

Command line code for linux: Needs "XDD" It should already be installed on most systems.(inside VIM)

cat slock.txt | xxd -r -p > binary-slock.bin

Command line code for Windows: Needs "XDD.exe" It canbe found inside VIM http://www.vim.org/

type slock.txt | xxd.exe -r -p > binary-slock.bin

NVME EDITS

Linux terminal

sed 's/\x46 \x42 \x4C \x4F \x43 \x4B \x00 \x00 \x01 \x00 \x00 \x00 \x01/\x46 \x42 \x4C \x4F \x43 \x4B \x00 \x00 \x01 \x00 \x00 \x00 \x00/g' nvme > temp

[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Guyinlaca:
Let me start by saying I use a Note 9 as my personal phone and LG V35 ThinQ as my work phone. I've been really impressed with the features of the V35 and the smoothness of the interface. Naturally I was curious to see how it compares to the V40 so I did some hands on comparison.

The good changes are 5 cameras instead of 3, Android 8.1 instead of 8.0, power button on the right side rather than back.

As for what's the same with the V35 and V40, Snapdragon 845, 6 GB RAM, 3300 mAh battery, cool Aurora Black color with blue reflection and overall software skin. The screen is excellent on both (fixed after V30)

What I don't care for is the taller, more narrow aspect ratio of the V40. Sure it may be 6.4 inches instead of 6.0 inches, but if you factor in the notch and the narrower screen with noticeably larger side bezels, it doesn't look bigger. The off center speaker was an odd design choice given that the two front cameras could have gone on opposite sides.

The V40 felt premium in hand, just as the V35 does, but I didn't find there to be any upgrades that made the V40 enticing. It feels like LG missed the opportunity for a bigger battery, stereo speakers, software upgrades, or something else to distinguish it. Most camera enthusiasts will probably get the Pixel 3 XL or Note 9 over this.

Bottom line is if you're buying a phone outright, I'd say the V35 ThinQ is a much better value. You're getting almost everything in a smaller form factor, with no notch. If you're looking for carrier financing, the V40 is a great phone, but I'd have trouble recommending it as it faces tough competition from the OnePlus 6T, Note 9 and even S9+. It's already $200 off and likely will get cheaper during the holidays. Save your money and get the V35 ThinQ, OnePlus 6T, S9+, or go all in for the Note 9.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] leknessmonster:
I agree that I think the V35 is a better value. I think the only issue for me, personally, is that the V40 is much more likely to get bootloader unlock and/or some form of root. The V35 has no development community after months of being out, which is honestly a shame because it's my favorite phone this year. Hopefully the guys working on the Qualcomm RSA Signature exploit make some progress to kickstart development across the board (and specifically the V35). Either way, I like what LG's been doing with their phones (with the exception of slow to no bootloader unlock in the states).
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] psawjack:
If value is equal to cost then yes buying an earlier model of phone will almost always be a better value than the latest and greatest. I must be missing something here...
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] LBJM:
At least you have the option for the V35, I don't with verizon. That notch turns me off about the V40 and I've been looking at the razor phone 2 128GB(when ever that model shows up). The v10 and v20 have 64GB of storage, so why doesn't the v40 come standard with 128GB? It's bad enough there's no removable battery in the v40.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Guyinlaca:
The Unlocked V35 ThinQ from Amazon or B&H do work on Verizon.

Given that the V35 ThinQ has the same processor, same RAM, same battery, same storage and is less than 6 mos old, it's a fair comparison. The ONLY reasons to get a V40 over a V35 are the cameras and carrier financing, just a tip to those on a budget.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] Alibaba0101:
Or get a v30+ 128GB with bootloader unlocked and root :)
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] trace1er:
I've had both phones, and it's weird because my feeling is that the V35 is actually faster and more responsive in use than the V40.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] ssnova:
Though I don't own either V35 or V40 ( I do have a V20 though).... in addition to what was mentioned, the 5 cameras, "larger" notched screen... I'd mention the "boombox" speakers. I haven't witnessed it first hand but I hear from the community that the boombox speakers are indeed a major upgrade. I personally like using my speakerphone to play music in a small room, though I don't know if it's necessarily worth the price premium on those features a lone... I also got the impression that the V40 had better battery life (impressions are from multiple youtube videos posted).
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] guytano86:
I second that
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] nellatl:
Not only is v35 a good value, they're really the same phone with v40 having non significant upgrades.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] GoodThings2Life:
Having spent a year with V30 and moving to V40 at its launch, I would certainly confirm that it's a minor upgrade. However, if you're big on speaker audio, definitely go for V40. The speaker output due to resonance chamber effect is way better! I don't have to cup my hand around the speaker and hold it to my ear to hear it anymore in noisy areas.

Other areas of improvement for me-- display quality/clarity/brightness and cameras. The V40 feels better to me, and I admit that while I'm not a fan of notches, this is at least a nice approach that isn't wasteful, and being able to "configure" how it appears is a nice touch. The cameras (with latest firmware updates) are much improved over launch samples I saw and took... very pleased with how they've turned out.

I'm mixed on the Power button returning to the side button. I had a love hate with it being combined with thumbprint on V30/V35... it made screenshots harder to take, and it made turning the device off challenging. That said, having it separate on the side has proven challenging to unlearn, lol.

I have asked them about making the Assistant button configurable to default assistant rather than Google. So far they haven't, but I still hope they will. I guess my final verdict is... it's the perfect hardware for ME, but there's still some software tweaks that I want.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] banshee28:
I have had the V30 since lauch and its still great. I have not (yet) rooted it but happy about the option to do so when/if I choose to. One thing I noticed on the specs for the V40 is the USB is 2.0 vs 3.1 like on the V30? Did this actually go backwards? I never really seen a technology spec revert way back. It would seem like something as simple/common as USB would at least be the same as the V30??
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] truckerdewd:
It is USB Type - C 2.0 (3.1 compatible) from everything I have read and it transfer super fast via USB to and from my laptop. Transferred a 50 minute video from my laptop to my phone in less than a minute along with 2 other videos.

So my assumption is USB Type - C 2.0 is second generation and it is 3.1 for USB connectivity.
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] banshee28:
Cool, thanks that explains it! Now I see the difference. Not sure if the phone itself is worth the upgrade still, but its very nice that the USB does seem like an upgrade. :D
[LG V40 Guides, News, & Discussion] supergear:
V35 and V40 and very similar but I choose the V40 for whatever reason. I do like the V40 tho so not disappointed. Actually liking it more than my Note 9.

The notch isn't bad like the pixel XL 3 or iPhones. And in reallity makes it the same size as the V35 when playing videos and such. Unlike XS the notch doesn't get in the way of videos and games
