[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
you dont need a combo firmware for OEM unlock.

now just use frija or samfirm tool to dl latest firmware. because you seem to be trying for some reason to flash an older bootloader based firmware revision than the phone is on and thats the cause one of your problems.(as per the last part of your message)

also when you flash n960n firmware, flash the 5th userdata.md5 file aswell. ( so reflash all 5 .md5 instead of 4 and of course choose csc.md5 over home_csc.md5)

be sure to use odin 3.13.3 or 3.11.1 aswell.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] petal666:
Thanks. That worked. I almost flashed userdata as well at one point but didn't.

I'm aware the combination file is the wrong bootloader, not need now anyway. Thanks again.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tronitus:
I often play rhythm games with my Note 5 so it's pretty noticeable when I get misses because of this.

I am not particularly sure what's causing this. Stock rom or not (I have LineageOS right now, I even tried the ported S8 Edge rom) the problem is still there.

I can make guesses that it could be input lag, general lag, or something else processing related. Is this a common problem? Could this be more on the hardware end?

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually tried your method but, sadly, no improvements whatsoever.

The problem is still present and I can't keep a combo at all in my game due to random unregistered taps.

EDIT: 12 hours after I did your method, things seem to have improved at least. I'm not certain if the problem is completely solved or it's just my own mistakes in the game now. I think I did more shocks to the phone than what you recommended, though.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] Mighty_Pig:
So to give a backstory, yesterday night, I ****ed my phone. It got corrupted, but I made a backup before. So today I tried to restore the backup. That did not go very well. So I searched up solutions and found out that it might be the os that is corupted after restoring the backup. So I side-loaded the official oxygen os 9.0.2. That worked and right now I got all my data back+my device is working kinda. After it started I saw that it's not conected to wifi. So I tryed to turn on the wifi but after like 3-4 seconds of trying to start the wifi, it automaticly turns itself off. Anyone got an idea on how to fix this?

Edit 1: My MAC adress is 02:00:00:00:00:00? Uh this does not seem right.
[OnePlus 6 Questions & Answers] tyrone1:
I got the exact same problem. Today too. I tried booting from slot a in recovery then that is when it started.

Any solution?

I did go into twrp tried wiping system, then reflashing oos9.0.2 and it was a no go.

I then went into twrp and wiped data and it worked. Of course all data was gone and had to clean install. Hope you have a data back up in twrp.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ozzmanj1:
Unfortunately, you cannot unlock oem unlock toggle or bootloader with temp unlock. It must be permanent unlock.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] djkinetic:
Many of us have received unlocks without paying off the device. It really depends on how lucky u are.. There are also factors like length of time with TMO payment history f type of account etc.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] UniX1rm:
SIM UNLOCK is different than BOOTLOADER UNLOCK.

With the temporary unlock, it is just if you're traveling somewhere and want to use a different sim card, even if you have the permanent unlock through the app, it won't unlock the bootloader. You would want to request to unlock the bootloader.

I have not paid anything on my phone. I have been with Tmo for about 10 years. I asked for a sim unlock as my wife is from China and we go there for 6 months to teach English. They unlocked my phone, then I just got my code and sent to Oneplus and am now sim and bootloader unlocked.

I asked for my sim unlock via Twitter Tmobile Help. Tooks three different people, but got it approved. I just assured them that I was not going to leave Tmo. We have 12 lines total (my entire family shares the account, each family pays for just their line, so my wife and I are $40 a month unlimited, plus my dad is on there so we get military discount. Twelve lines and 10 years, yeah not going anywhere.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] bigmikey307:
So a SIM Unlock code worked to unlock the bootloader? That doesn't seem right
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ozzmanj1:
No, you need to sim unlock first. Then once you are sim unlocked permanently, you use fastboot commands to get a code for your bootloader. You send this bootloader code along with your IMEi to onpluses website, after 7 days you get a unlock.bin file that you fastboot flash to unlock your bootloader permanently.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] atrix_noob:
So after several attempts of trying to get the phone unlocked with no luck.

I waited 30 mins or so to try if I could get to another representative, I told him that I needed the phone unlocked so I could travel to London and China ( which is false ) but anyways I kept going with that story.

A rep called Kimi got my last message, he said he could override the 40 days rule if I met some special requirements.

The Phone is not on my account, it's on a friend account and I told her this phone was a gift from a family member, that I don't have access to his account and that I have my account. She asked for my tmo account info and imei num amd after waiting for about 15min she told me to go to the tmo device unlock app and try pressing the Permanent unlock button which do the trick and now my phone is unlocked
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] TheKnux:
Is the phone under a lease or payment plan (jump or jump on demand) and what's the status with your account, how long have you been with them, etc? I've tried everything, they said the absolute only way for them to bypass everything and whitelist my imei for a permanent unlock regardless of any payments on the phone, what my account status is, etc would be if I was paying on the 6T and not leasing it.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] shaunwwfc:
Hi, I am hoping some of you can help me

I am currently using the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge in the UK. I have had this for 2 years and generally I am very happy with it. Right now the battery life does suffer a little, and on long days I am preserving its use for it to last me as much as can be, but generally I am very satisfied with it.

Right now through Black Friday there are some very nice S9 deals. I can get it for zero upfront, £38 a month on a 24 month contract with 25GB of Data. As it gets closer to Black Friday, I may even be able to get it cheaper so it is very appealing. Question is.. should I?? Right now I am paying £20 for SIM only so this will be a little jump in price.

I LOVE the look of the S9. I also love the look of the S8 actually but the idea of a better speaker in the S9 really draws me in plus the fact that suprisingly, the S9 have better deals at the moment. I know the S10 is right round the corner, but unless this comes with significant improvements I dont think I will be tempted by what will be at least to begin with big prices.

There is just one nagging concern that is stopping me from purchasing at the moment - the battery. What do people advise? How are people getting on with the S9 with this that have ideally upgraded from the S7 edge which people generally praised for its battery? I plan on using my devices for a minimum of 3 years. Is the S9 good for this? Or would you advise me waiting to see what the S10 has in stock? Even though it is unlikely I will want to pay anything more than £45 a month (tops!) for my contract?

Some help and advise really would be massively appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] verifiedthug:
S9 battery is a weak point. I use the phone constantly on battery saver mode. This way i get an extra hour to around 4.30SOT. if you are a heavy user, this aint it. Exynos battery optimization is very poor. But i would suggest you to go for Note 9 or even a S9+ for the extra camera and battery.

Also, you can't enjoy full resolution and you have to downgrade and use at FHD+ for battery.

Ram management takes a hit with massive battery saving tricks you are forced to do. The phone also heats up a lot. Charging times are not that great. Camera quality deteriorated over months.

With this phone you have to extra careful with drops. It costs me 300USD for a small crack on screen.

The positives are the usual. Speakers are great. Screen is awesome. Samsung pay is life saving. Wireless charging. IP68. Headphone jack! SD card!

I would say Note 9 or S9+
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] shaunwwfc:
Hmm, ok.. I really wish that was a more positive response regarding the battery :( But I really appreciate your honest and in depth review!

For £38 a month would you not go for this then? put up against the S7 edge would you not say it is a worthwhile upgrade?

I will start looking at the S9 + and the Note9 although I have to say I am not so keen on the prices they offer....lets see what black Friday brings!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] *Detection*:
Only a few users have terrible battery life like that, it's not the greatest but with everything on maximum performance, all radios enabled (not BT), auto brightness around 50% most of the time, I can easily get 5 hours SoT with normal usage, when I got the phone I was averaging 6-7 hours SoT, but obviously the more apps you install...

Talking about the S9 flat here, the S9 plus has a bigger battery same as your 7 Edge did

I upgraded from the S7 flat and it was a very nice upgrade, I would not switch back, faster, a lot nicer design, (Get a case though, the bezels are very small and using the camera without accidentally touching the screen is difficult without a case), camera is very nice indeed, I wouldn't say it was a huge step up from the S7 especially with RAW / Pro mode, but with the new f1.5 low light ability it is definitely a step up in certain scenarios

Personally I would say yes it is still a worthwhile upgrade from the S7/Edge
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] ssalehh:
Hey there!

I moved from the s6 to the s9 after my s6 died. Honestly, I didn't feel a big upgrade. If my s6 was working I would probably return the s9. Your s7 edge is a very nice phone. I'd say if money isnt a big issue, wait for the s10.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] shaunwwfc:
Thanks for your thoughts. I am going to closely monitor the price for the next fortnight. With really good feedback I think I would go for it right now. Having read multiple reviews now I am leaning towards seeing what the s10 can offer, especially battery wise.

Thanks for your reply! I am starting to think that!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] DrBrick:
I second waiting to see how the S10 plays out since you are planning on keeping your new phone for the long haul. I actually just purchased a used S9 and am very happy with it (haven't had it long enough to comment on battery life). If you can afford the up front cost, the used market for mint/very good handsets is very competitive right now. However, the launch/trade-in deals for the S10 should put you in the ballpark of the S9 deals you are seeing now.

Edit: Plus, S9/S9+ deals should be great after S10 launches.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Nurmi_CEO:
I've been the Galaxy as a daily driver since the S8 came out, and when the 9 was released I upgraded.

The S8 size was pretty decent, but when I went to the S9, it was a tad bigger and noticeably heavier. Honestly I like smaller phones. The S9+/Note phones are just too big for me.

Pros: Great screen, great camera, I get decently fast charging time.

Cons:

-Battery life is "fair". For work I use my phone a lot to research on ebay and take pictures. It just doesn't seem enough. I've tried some optimizations such as FHD+, black background, black theme, battery saver programs, no major social media apps running ( usually i used the web based) and I am a bit disappointed. If I use my phone a fair amount in the morning I feel like I will be low later on and will need to charge. Honestly that seems to be one of my bigger drawbacks. If I could get a full day of use from early in the morning to the evening no problem, I'd be good.

- Samsung lag. Oh yes it's here. When going from ebay app to camera, to stock sms app, youtube, I get hiccups more than I'd like to see. I have animations to .5x to make things feel snappier, but I just wish the optimization was better. I won't switch to an iphone, but man after playing with an iphone and seeing how fluid it is, I am a bit envious. I won't switch to Apple, that's just me. Sometimes the auto-rotate doesn't seem to respond as smooth as iPhone.

- The edge screen. Meh. Was cool at first, but it makes glass protectors difficult. You have to pretty much go with Whitestone dome glass, and it's expensive. And then that breaks and you need another $35. I am exploring other options and recently found a glass protector that uses loca glue and UV application just like the whitestone for $18 on Amazon. It has arrived, just haven't put it on yet. I can live without the edge screen.

Today I tested out the Google Pixel 3 at Best Buy. Surprisingly it was only a tad smaller than the S9, but it did weigh less. But maybe that small difference in size does help better with one handed use. Pixel 3 is on Android P, and I played around with it and it was very fluid like the iPhone. I have a promo with T-Mobile on a payment plan for my S9, but if i could just jump right over to the Pixel 3 I would.

I'm hoping Android P will make things better, more optimized and better battery life. Personally, if you have to get a phone now, I like the Pixel 3. Since I'm stuck in a promo paying for this S9, I will most likely upgrade to the S10 when it comes out.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Giocarro:
Jeez, I can't stand reading "samsung lag". Now let's be honest and call it "Android lag", because out of 100 different Android phones just Pixels and OnePlus do not show *any* type of stuttering *ever*.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] mobile_sensei:
If you like the phone bro get it. I own S9, Nokia 7.1, Essential Phone, OnePlus 6, & Pixel 2. All are more or less the same on battery life. Use adaptive brightness & close apps you're not using. Other than that leave Android to do it's job at RAM management, etc. I heavily use my S9 because it's my newest toy and I consistently get 6+ hours of SOT. I don't play games on my phone or do prolonged video streaming.

Hope that helps
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Killuminati91:
Upgraded from the S7 to the S9 for around 400€. It is not worth the money imho. The design is great, no question, the fingerprint sensor is way faster - but other than that there is not much to gain here. The camera is marginally better but not worth the money and the battery life is quite disappointing. I would wait for the S10 or other phones next year.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] XDroidie:
Its a good phone, I have the Exynnos variant and battery life sucks but otherwise its great, speakers are great on it, much better than my works iPhone 8, the screen is great also, I don't normally like Samsung but I really like this, plus it has a headphone jack.

But the battery life is the major downside, I would certainly get a good battery bank.

Finally if I was to choose now I would likely get a Pixel 3 XL, 3 years of updates sounds amazing to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Cloudane:
If you do more than just the basics, get the Plus or Note. I got the straight S9 because it was on offer (30GB on EE no upfront cost £32/month) and although it was a steal it's a pain in the arse. I have the smartwatch and a Pokeball (So that's 2 bluetooth devices it's trying to keep up with) and play Pokemon Go with messaging apps and an overlay, and it's doing all this kind of stuff at once, 4GB is nowhere near enough RAM on Android. iOS could manage it easily, but Android is not iOS...

The result is it lags like crazy. Usually just as I want to do something quickly like take a photo and it sits and chugs for a minute (presumably out of memory and using storage as swap space) instead. Or the fingerprint reader will take like 5 seconds to register and unlock. I regret skimping, and wish I'd just splashed out and waited for the Note.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thrustaxehandle:
Yesterday I tried to connect a USB 3.0 drive (both a pen drive and an external 1 TB HDD) to my poco via otg. It took some time to detect (hard drive took much longer than pen drive, USB 2.0 drives were detected instantly). When I tried to copy data from my pen drive or my hard drive to my phone the transfer speed was stuck around only 1MB/s. Both are formatted with NTFS format and I have used them with my previous Redmi Note 3 and Redmi Note 5 Pro, they used to work fine in both of those phones. I tried to copy data in MIUI using Paragon and even a custom rom like Havoc, Nitrogen etc. I don't know why transfer speed is so slow on POCO? Could it be due to type-c port? I even tried using different file explorers but same result. Any solution?

[ZTE Nubia Z17  Questions & Answers] jman0:
Hi.

I've just received a brand new Nubia Z17S and have found a problem when trying to flash Magisk.

I've been able to unlock the bootloader and install TWRP. Then, after formatting data and rebooting again, I've flashed Magisk 16.0, since I had the zip file on a flash drive. My idea was to update to the latest Magisk release later from Magisk Manager.

Magisk 16.0 appears to flash correctly, and the superuser feature works fine, but Magisk log shows a mount error and Magisk isn't activated. So I have a rooted phone, but I can't pass SafetyNet check. If I try to flash the universal Safetynet module, Magisk throws an error and from TWRP it says Magisk sisn't installed, which is right (it's installed but unable to activate).

To check if a newer version solves the issue, I've tried to upgrade to Magisk 17.1 from Magisk Manager. It seems to install fine, but then the phone only boots into fastboot mode, over and over again, and never gets to start Android. I've had to flash a stock rom from the emergency recovery mode, flash TWRP and Magisk 16.0 again. Now I have a rooted phone but Magisk stays unusable.

Has anyone here been able to make Magisk 17.1 work on Z17S? Or should I stick to 16.0 until a fixed version is released?

Thanks.
[ZTE Nubia Z17  Questions & Answers] jman0:
Hi, I forgot to mention I was finally able to flash Magisk 17.3.

In order to do so, I had to wipe everything and revert to the latest stock rom, v 1.11, and then I flashed TWRP again and flashed Magisk 17.3 from there. The first time the phone booted, it got stuck on the "Be yourself" message. But then, after wiping data, the phone finally booted, and Magisk is working fine. The phone is rooted and I pass the SafetyNet check.
