[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] Belgarionbg:
I guess that OTA updates probably don`t show up everywhere in the moment Samsung release them.

For downloads you can have a look here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/SM-A750FN/TPL/ - I see that in Poland there are 6 operators so just click on the dropdown menu to chose your and see if it really have new update.

For example my carrier still doesn`t have new update.

But be advised - people in other countries that already got their OTA update report for bad problems like sudden restarts few times per day.

So maybe don`t make the update when you get it.

For me I have chose to install Package Disabler Pro and to disable the OTA updates.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] Ayushj702:
I bought the phone in India i.e. INS, I got an OTA which included november patch and super slo-mo with some updated camera features, around november 15. Everything is working well after the update, but the battery runs out quickly (for eg if it gave me 8-7 hours screen time, now it gives 5-6 hours)
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] rumpelst:
This phone was first released in India. Maybe this November update is only for Indian market. I do not thing that my carrier has anything to do with it cause my phone was bought unlocked in normal electronic store.

Got another one for stability updates around 100mb, so I guess the updates are probably for indian markets only. This one fixed the battery issues but it is still less than what I originally got(SOT)
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] rumpelst:
I'v got this update today. This could be the second update you mentioned. If this is the case then Europe is getting updates after India which propably is the first market to test final releases. Samsung tend to do such things, I remember when Samsung galaxy s3 in Poland got first release of a new android before any other markets which infuriates geeks in US :).
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] Ayushj702:
Oh man s3 was the **** back then, you made me weep. What you are saying is probably true because people here don't care about stability, they just want "regular updates" so that's probably why INS is getting so many updates (3 to be exact). Also, any update on development for our device?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] Kokumotsu:
So im wanting to finally root and flash my phone after having it for almost a year, tired of all the VZW updates, prompts and just general bloat. So i did some digging and samfail only works up to V5 bootloaders.. my phone baseband is g955usqu5crk1 and i cant find any info on it and i dont want to try to do samfail and brick my phone due to it not being compatible. Does anyone have any info on this version or know what i can do from this point?.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] Smithfolk4:
I am not sure, but I think you can still root. Check the ROM section here in the Verizon Forum and look for JRKRuse thread. Or, look in the S8 Plus Forum under ROMs and look for the Partcyborg thread. I think with the S8 plus you can still root V5, but check with the experts before you start down any path.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] jbeitel:

Im on the same baseband version and have been trying samfail method all night, as well as different odin versions, i either get sha256 error on first step or else it hangs for way too long
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S8+ Guides, News, & Discuss] Voltixdark:
I believe there's a patched Odin which helps with the errors you're describing. Google (patched Odin 3.13.1). It combines features from the Odin variant (Prince Comsey Odin) which eliminates such issues.
[Android General] godkingofcanada:
Hoping this is the right section since its not device specific.

Experienced or not, it doesn't matter. I've been on XDA for a number of years. And am noticing things from my own experience and talking to others. Its hard to get help sometimes. Not all devs want to talk. Teach. Or help people all the time. Devices are being dropped from support. Maintainers are leaving the scene. Currently I have an Oreo and pie ROM for s6e+ and note 5. With the list of devices being dropped, and surprising amount of people reaching out to me for support, I decided it may be beneficial to recruit a few people who want to develop ROMs. This is a great chance to learn. I would like to pick up at least partial support for several more devices, and need some help to do it. My goal in this endeavor is to continue to provide ROMs to people who need them, while teaching other users to develop. This will help to bring fresh life to the scene, and allow support for more devices to be added. If you are interested reply below or inbox me. There is a google hangouts set up, and other methods of team communication will follow. I also have a home server with a 24/7 connection and no data limits on my internet, and an ftp set up to host files directly and not need third party sites.
[Android General] bofh999:
so basically you have good intentions, no plan and a home server :))

what we really need is a unification of all the different but not really different roms and their devs,

then its possible to see a future for long term support for all devices, or at least many.

anyhting else is jsut another project that will or will not die, based on good will and free time of the maintainer, mostly not even reckognized

due to the chaos of fragmented android and even more fragmented custom rom scene.
[Android General] Atifbaig786:
I respect your Idea but I don't think something like this is required.You see I had been using linux for 4+ years and was pretty adapted to it when I switched to a Note 3.Recently I discovered the Modding part of it and the huge development of custom roms and kernels.and despite having no clue what I was doing I could easily develop a Kernel without a hassle.I went even one step further and made a halium port for it.Sure it didn't boot the first time but by using methods on xda already discussed in detail I was able to make it work.So,the main thing is that someone like me who has no experience could make a ROM in 3 hours without any complications(Except those who could be solved by googling).Then anybody could do it.Currently there isn't a ROM bug or a issue that hasn't been discussed on either xda or other android development sites.But that doesn't mean we shouldn't help newcomers.But it is rare for someone to look on the other side of development and there is enough documentations for him to do it.Maybe too much.qq
[Android General] godkingofcanada:
You can't just make a ROM for any device is 3 hours. It doesn't always work that way. Especially not if building from source
[Android General] Atifbaig786:
I just followed a guide.On an XL VPS. With maybe 22GB ram and 16 xeon cores
[Android General] godkingofcanada:
I don't disagree sometimes it is easy. But what if lineage or GitHub don't have all necessary files for the build? And then you need to extract them from your phone manually, or if build won't boot up and needs modifications to the kernel.. fixing drivers that do not work. It's not always so simple as build, flash and finish.
[Android General] Atifbaig786:
I did face issues.The End of the guide covered the basics of logging stuff and finding things.They were just as same as debugging a linux OS but yeah you're right as I did face the extracting files(dunno what was supposed to do).So I wrote "extract proprietary vendor code from ROM" and boom lineage gave it to me.Also the guide was only for devices that exist on lineage and sometimes we need to start from scratch.And maybe We both are,Who knows what the future might bring,BTW have you heard about Google's new Boy Fuchisa or something like that.I wanted to talk someone in the field of development about this but nobody was bringing up the non-linux version of Google's OS for smartphones.
[Android General] godkingofcanada:
Yes I heard about it. I stumbled across it by accident looking for a way to shim the s6 edge plus cam on my pie rom. It lead me to reading about vulkan, which showed me a new Google os. It looks nice
[Android General] Atifbaig786:
Well It seems that it uses a Different type of kernel "microkernel".For someone as stupid as me I don't get it what was the difference between a microkernel and monolithic one on an android device(or a low powered arm processor based board that has a screen attached to it)Will it be performance,Faster loading,Efficiency.I can find a million articles on microkernel vs monolithic but they are in latin for me.But you can just give me the crash course in maybe 3-4 lines.
[Android General] godkingofcanada:
Device drivers, protocol, file systems moved from kernel to user. It's got less code, more lightweight. And it was created with embedded systems in mind. In theory it should be faster, and more suited to small devices like phones with embedded systems. Giving devices their own dedicated kernel finally instead of butchering a Linux kernel to suit their device needs. It's also universal in terms of cross platform
[Android General] Atifbaig786:
Now that's more like it.I was afraid that android was finally going to commit close source(or suicicde).But since it's open source and I hear good things from you and 4 other guys who have experience in doing stuff I think,Hope and Pray that it might be a good change.Also thanks for using plain English and being a Open guy.Currently I am thinking that 5 years from now someone gonna run into this post and have a little smirk on his face for you who is reading this,Quote and tell me was it good?Was we good?
[Android General] godkingofcanada:
I think the changes appear good. Less stuff locked away in private, more easily accessible to all. Treble has the vendor stuff available to roms that aren't stock, this will make the kernel tiny and easy to build. One by one the barriers people have to overcome to build their own roms are being taken away.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] angelspid:
Hi everyone,

The note 9 is the great device, and project treble make a even better. But there is a strange conflict with GSI and the phone.

On the stock ROM Hotword Ok Google, works even if the screen is off, but with GSI or sGSI work only if the screen is on.

Trusted face doesn't work too, but the front camera work great with the Gcam for example.

If someone, knows how to fix that, or why is that, please help, me and someone else will be very thankful.

[Android Head-Units] r_james_s:
I've recently fitted an Xtrons PB88UNVP (MTCE_GS_V2.88_3) PX5 headunit. The speaker power is 4x45W (probably pretty standard on these things) and generally sounds good.

However, it's quieter than my previous WinCE unit and I find I have to run it higher up the volume scale for a decent listening volume.

Sometimes I like my music loud, and I can turn it up to MAX (30) without deafening myself or even experiencing clipping from the headunit's amplifier - output is still clean and undistorted. I'm running the EQ fairly flat and Loudness is set to ON.

My question is - NOT what volume should I be listening at in my car to still hear the engine, traffic around me and be safe on the roads - BUT is it safe to run these headunits at 25-30 (83-100%) continuously/for extended periods? Will it overheat or be damaged by running at this sort of volume?

Thanks
[Android Head-Units] jtrosky:
I noticed the exact same thing - again, compared to my previous WinCE units, just like you. These Android units just seem significantly less powerful in comparison. I have a feeling that the 45Wx4 max rating (I know it's not RMS) is a little on the "wishful thinking" side. :) My WinCE units (18->25Wx4 RMS, 50Wx4 max) seemed considerably more powerful.

I haven't seen these Android units list the RMS power, but I have a feeling it's lower than a lot of the older WinCE units. It also seems like the volume scale is just "different" - it doesn't start getting even somewhat loud until the volume is 2/3rd's of the way up or higher.

It's really hard to say if they are clipping or not in those upper ranges, but I have a feeling they may be - depending on how you have the EQ set - even if you can't hear the distortion.

To me, it seems like you have to sacrifice a lot on the audio side of things for the flexibility that you get from Android.
[Android Head-Units] r_james_s:
[MENTION=972963]jtrosky[/MENTION]: I have noticed distortion when the EQ is set to the Rock preset, which is very bass-heavy, and is turned up high. I don't personally like heavily biased EQ profiles and would prefer to run it as flat as possible across the frequency spectrum. A little bit of tuning seems to help these units particularly though. I agree with you that their amplifiers are weak, or rather underpowered. That said, my experience so far is that at medium volumes it sounds alright, to the extent that I didn't notice my sub wasn't working at first.

So do you regularly run yours at two thirds volume or above and do you think they can handle it for a sustained period?

Has anyone ever fried one of these?
[Android Head-Units] jtrosky:
Honestly, I connected an amp shortly after installing, so I can't say how they would last over time if used at louder volumes frequently with the internal amp. To me, it seems like they have the volume control setup in a way where it doesn't get very loud until at least 2/3rd's volume - and then every click makes a substantial difference. So I wonder if they just have the volume scale "tuned" differenlty than other head-units? But my point was that the unit can be clipping without you even hearing any distortion - clipping is not always audible. I had a LOC hooked up for testing briefly and it had a "clipping" light - and I was seeing clipping way before any distortion was audible. I think these units use pretty poor quality amps.

I've actually removed the Android head-unit completely and went back to my older WinCE-based unit. Just was not happy with the Android unit (sound quality, noise-related issues, etc).
[Android Head-Units] r_james_s:
That's sad to hear. I deliberated for so long before taking the plunge and buying one. I like the Android platform, and the few niggles I have with mine aren't sufficient to make me want to change it... yet.

I must admit though, when I made my first post I had been listening to DAB, which is probably the quietest source. FM is probably 15% louder at the same volume setting, and is the loudest of all the sources. I don't know if there is any way to make this louder, as a USB device, and there is no volume 'boost' option within realzoulou's DAB-Z app (only a <= 100% setting).

FM on full whack does distort a bit, but it's too loud to listen to constantly, so while a bit weak I think the on-board amp should be capable of more.

Better control of volume on different sources within Android would be nice, do you know if this is possible?
[Android Head-Units] jtrosky:
You can alter the volume of each source in the Factory Settings, under the "Voice" tab...

If you are coming from a stock radio with stock speakers, the Android head-units may be an upgrade in terms of sound-quality. But for me, coming from an aftermarket, high-quality WinCE unit, the sound quality just wasn't up to par. The WinCE unit I'm referring to (Dynavin N7) has high-quality audio components though (4V pre-outs, "high-resolution Burr Brown 24-Bit Digital to Analogue converters", etc) - so once I got used to the sound quality of the Dynavin (or even the Rosen GM1010 befoer it), it was hard switching over to the Android unit. Believe me, I went to great lengths to make it work, but it just wasn't mean to be, considering the sound-quality downgrade and the noise-related issues I had with the Android unit.

Don't get me wrong - I liked almost everything about having full-blown Android as the OS - it's just the sound quality that I wasn't 100% happy with - which, to me, is very important.
