[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] marvi0:
So need to replace my razer phone and not sure what to get. I like the fact that oneplus 6 is faster and already on pie but also like the spen. Can anyone who has either come from oneplus 6 or have both phones please comment especially on performance differences between the 2 please thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] chivu10:
If you want speed stay on op6... If you want other stuff.. get the note 9 :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] arbit12:
Generally true. But if you reduce the animation speeds on N9 the percieved difference on normal tasks is much less.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
Any particular reason you want to move away from the RazerPhone or, not upgrade to the RazerPhone2?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ozzy21:
You could do the same on your OP6 which makes te difference the same again...

[MENTION=994748]marvi0[/MENTION]:

I switched from an OP6 and haven't regretted it since. Yes, the OP6 is absolutely awesome and the UI is quite a lot faster than the Note 9(exynos) running Samsung Experience.

But the Note 9 still is impressively fast and of course full of features. It's a 'no concession' phone packed with everything you can think of, hard- and softwarewise. It's the feature packed OS and top quality hardware that do it for me. The speakers are awesome in contrast to the OP6's tinny speaker and the battery lasts all day everyday. Also the camera's are among the best the market has to offer, it takes stunning pictures.

But in terms of speed and stability it just can't compete with the OnePlus 6 running Oxygen OS. That thing is just insanely fast(especially unlocking it with fingerprint or face) and quite stable actually. When you're in an app there's no detectable difference, but any action that involves Oxygen OS just happens instantly. So if that's your thing and you don't care about (sometimes gimmicky) features too much, I'd stick with the OP6.

Also you should not expect the same 'power to the users' attitude from Samsung. They do listen to the community, but kind of do it on their own terms and only when they feel like it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] vodovodo:
I have both, the note is international version, seriously day to day use I feel no real difference but differently the op6 is snappier. And oneplus is the newer phone in my hand, I just loved the red color and got it as a second phone BUT, U get what u pay for in this case, note 9 has a much better screen, longer battery life, huge difference in speakers and noeird software issues (for example I can't download pubg from the play store on my op6) plus of course the Samsung extras ip68 spen dex bla bla bla

If u need an advice go for the note, it's selling as the same price as op6t on eBay which is just crazy stupid since the OP suppose to be half the price
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] marvi0:
Hmm many thanks for your detailed reply. The note 9 you moved to is it the 6gb or 8gb variant?. I will be getting the 6gb variant and just like you I feel the extra features on Samsung do help overall,without even mentioning the ? spen. I think am definitely leaning towards a note 9 thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] marvi0:
Hi thanks. The note 9 you have is it the 6gb or 8gb variant?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] SuzutsukiKaede:
I have both OP6(8,128) and Note 9(6,128).

For me, I use Note 9 to watch videos, becsuse it has a wonderful screen and powerful speakers.

I use OP6 to browse news, play games and communicate with others.IT IS SUPER FAST AND SMOOTH.

btw, I bring Note 9 to work. It is a nice tool,while OP6 is more likely a toy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] byronthurston:
Get the Samsung note 9 it's almost as fast as the one us 6 or 6t lacked with more features
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ozzy21:
I moved from the 128/8GB OP6 to the 512/8GB Note 9. I do feel like the extra 2GB is a bit useless though. I rarely fill more than 6 GB's of RAM.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] vodovodo:
6gb my friend.

As said, note 9 is a great multifunctional tool, op6 it's a wonderful toy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KhunakornX:
I bought One plus 6 256 GB Storage 8 GB ram and using it 2 months then switch to Note 9 Exynos 6GB.

What I don't like

1. USB port sucks. only able to charge and transfer data. Can't connect with external devices.

2. If you root you get Widevine L3

3. Battery level sucks. almost not survive 1 day.

4. Only one speaker.

6. no wireless charge.

What I love.

1. It's extremely fast.

2. It's brick free. you can unbrick it by yourself.

3. Android Pie Stable ROM come very fast.

4. lack of bloatware.

5. Even you root your device. warranty won't void.

6. Dash charge is extremely fast.

7. OxygenOS is clean and stable.

The reason I change to Note 9 because mine was defect unit and I got a refund.

Mine was Widevine L3 no matter how I or Remote support guys were trying to fix it. It need to be sent to service center to fix it and it has none in Thailand.

If I can choose again I will choose one plus 6 and keep my extra money for something else.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] marvi0:
Phew so based on you lovely guys views the note 9 has all the bells and whistles but it lacks the power and speed of the oneplus 6. That worries me though as speed does matter.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
I have both the OP6T & Note 9.

The performance is comparable,any speed difference is negligible in daily use (unless you spend your days doing side-by-side comparisons,LOL).

If I had to choose,it's no contest,the Note 9 for the win.

If you value the S-Pen & Dex,the Note 9.

If not,save some $$$ & get the OnePlus,even going back to last year's OP5 or 5T.

I'm not picky on cameras,as long as the phone is quick to snap a relatively clear/sharp pic,it's all good to me.

If cameras are your thing,perhaps some Googling/YouTube search is in order for comparison.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] androidkid27:
Coming from someone who had the 6t and switched to the note 9 (paid $50 for restocking fee) I think the note 9 is a much better device. Hardware is better the battery is better, display is better and all those extra features are just the icing on the cake. Trust me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ozzy21:
The Note 9 does not lack speed. It's like the comparison between a BMW M5 and a Ferrari. The BMW does not lack speed at all, but the Ferrari remains quite a bit faster. The BMW however does do/have a ton of other practical things that a Ferrari can't.

And like I said, you'll only notice the difference in speed in UI actions and not when running apps. In terms of power the two devices are basically capable of doing the same thing because of their SOC's. However, you might want to go for a Note 9 if you're a gamer or use some heavy apps as it has liquid cooling. My OP6 did warm up quite a bit when running CAD apps or games like Asphalt 9, the Note 9 stays noticeably cooler.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] daniel4653:
Having owned both phones it's hard to say because both are really good phones and you can't go wrong with either or.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] vodovodo:
just received an update with 1 november security update, battery so far is way better on standby (exynos version here) which was my main complain about this beast.

i disagree that both can do the same things, no other phone can do this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59ox9XzePkk
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ozzy21:
Very true, no other phone handles multitasking as well as Samsung flagships and especially the Note series! What I meant with capability of doing the same things was the performance of the SOC's.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Scopesys:
Eonon GA2170B Car Head Unit, OREO Px5

Since I have fitted quite a large (64 GB) CF card to this unit, mainly for in car Music, the Head Unit now takes considerable time (1 minute) to complete a "CF Check for Errors", even when coming out of sleep mode.

If there any way to prevent this ? (Short of putting in a much smaller CF card).

Card never has any errors, and tried 3 cards.. all do the same.

BTW Unit is NOT rooted ?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Scopesys:
BUMP...

Where do all the Techies hang out that may be able to answer this ???

Is this the wrong Forum ?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] jtrosky:
Without being rooted, I'm not aware of a way to stop the card check. If you were rooted, you could alter the permissions of the binary that does the check (so that it can't run), but that is the only way that I'm aware of...
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Scopesys:
Thanks .. I feared that might be the case.

Rooting my Eonon HU is not something I want to experiment with.

It's really annoying that every time the Unit goes to sleep, it takes over 2 minutes to start up and run, as it is wasting all this time testing a CF card that is always OK.

Especailly annoying when you have a number of stops on your journey.

If the problem cannot easily be solved with a neat Software Solution, then maybe a BRUTE FORCE hardware solution will be necessary.

Like a 60 minute time off delay for ACC !!
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] jtrosky:
One more thing to try - I can't remember if the stock version of Android supports NTFS or not - if it does, I've found that NTFS checks a lot faster than FAT32. However, I have a feeling stock Android does not support NTFS - but it's worth a shot if you have another card laying around to test with.

I also have an Eonon (GA9180A - MTCE-WWW Android 8.0 Unit) - you'd be surprised how quick and easy it is to root - and it's completely reversible as well. There's even an .apk version that makes it that much easier.... If interested, let me know and I'll find and post the links. I was hesitant to mess with mine at first too, but I just made sure that I had original version of Android and the original MCU version just in case I had to "go back to where I started".

I agree though - it is kind of silly to repeatedly check a card that never gets removed... When I first got my unit (before rooting), I even tried converting the SD card to "internal" storage (Android 8 allow that), but it *still* checked the card every time, even when it was converted to "internal" storage!
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Scopesys:
So, now, with it rooted, have you overcome the SD card Checking delay ?

Did you remove permissions for the SD check, or maybe switch to NTFS.

ON my HU, the CF card is next to the front USB slot. While the CF card is nice because it is not sticking out of the unit, I am wondering if I used the USB slot, that I might not get the CF card Check delay with usb ?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] jtrosky:
I actually just switched to NTFS and the check is so much faster that it's no longer really an issue. I use a 128GB SD card (which is almost completely full of .mp3 files) and the check only takes a few seconds.

You will still get the check with USB, but it will probably be faster (USB is faster than SD and CF).

But if you are rooted, changing the persmission on the check binary is an option as well (in case you can't use NTFS and/or USB isn't much faster with FAT32).
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Scopesys:
When you switched to NTFS, was the Android unit still able to write to the CF card, or is it read only just for Mp3 files ?
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] jtrosky:
I'm 99% sure I can write to it as well with NTFS - but I'm currently running a custom ROM, so it might be a feature of the ROM - not sure if stock Android supports NTFS at all or not (I'm thinking it probably doesn't).

I'll confirm that I can write to the SD card via NTFS and get back to you.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Scopesys:
My understanding was that the later Android systems could read NTFS, but not write, unless given permission to do so, that requires root access.

I also read that while USB can support NTFS, CF cannot (in Android).

But then, you can find just about any conflicting statements on the Internet, and you never know who is at the other end on the computer !!
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Scopesys:
So, I tried a NTFS USB thumb drive ...

Some of the File managers could see and read it.. a few apps could see and read it (*ie VLC), but two major Mp3 Players (Poweramp & BlackPlayer) could not see the NTFS drive.

Android OREO did seem to verify the NTFS drive far faster than the Fat32 .. but then it was not much use, as the Mp3 players I choose to use cannot read it.

Maybe with some ROOT Magic .. but not going there.

So, for the time being, my solution is to use smaller CF cards, and swap them out every so often for a change in music. With the 128GB one I was using, I figure I would never even be able to listen to all the tracks just once in a year of driving, so I really do not need to use such a high capacity drive.

Still might try a Fat32 Big SSD -- maybe that will initialize on boot quicker.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Scopesys:
Tried a USB SSD 240GB FAT32 ( Not a USB Thumb Drive).

OREO 8 does not do any Drive Check on this USB SSD , like it did with the CF card, (just mounts it quickly) so coming out of sleep time has dropped from > 1 minute to a few seconds !!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Neuromancer:
I wanted to remove (disable) some of the apps I don't need (starting with Chrome and Weather); however, the Disable icon on the app properties page is grayed out. I then checked a few other "system" apps and none of them had the disable button working.

Is this some new Oreo "feature", or is it Xiaomi / Mi Max 3 specific? I know that on a Huawei device running stock Nougat a few months ago, disabling was available.

(On a side note - is it possible that MIUI doesn't include "search" (for apps) on the homescreens?)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] panospc:
You can disable system apps by following this:

Set the language to english, go to Play store -> Help & feedback, find and open the following article "Delete or disable apps on Android", you will see a link named "Tap to go to Application Settings", tap it and the stock app manager will appear.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Pinkman84:
it's not oreo or max 3 feature, it's just hidden. download from play market - Redmi System Manager, no root requires, open app, give it permissions (if asks) touch the button on the bottom (three point vertically) press Show system apps, find and disable. I've disabled many useless apps this way
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Neuromancer:
Thanks, seems it gets to the same stock app manager as the one from Help&Feedback in Store app. Also, I came across an app MIUI Hidden Settings which also pretty much accomplishes the same (and has lots of other features as well). So there is hope :) (until I actually read parts of Xiaomi's Privacy Policy, which made me worried...).

But it seems that Xiaomi (if I compare it to my Huawei experience) is much more stringent when it comes to being able to disable crap. For instance, I was able to disable Chrome and Google Photos, but Feedback, Cleaner, and stock Browser have a grayed out Disable button no matter what.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] T6D16C84:
I am just wondering if there is any sort of modification or functionality that allows the physical nav buttons to pop up when the keyboard is open, but the rest of the time navigation is done via gestures?

I find myself making typing mistakes due to the placement of the keyboard without the nav buttons, and turning the keyboard off is sometimes a pain with the gesture.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Sammae7:
Funny, the Zenfone 5Z has navigation gestures almost identical to the 6T but the navigation buttons stay on when a keyboard is active. I hated that because I got used to swiping instead of tapping the button, so I would swiping away with no results. I'm very happy the 6T remedied that.

Somehow your phone lost wifi mac address, was happening to older Windows some times and the solution was to override it. Try first to reset your phone or flash original kernel again (boot.img) and if the problem exists after reset or flash here is a guide how to override it.

https://www.techjunkie.com/change-mac-address-android/

At the guide above has instructions 4 rooted and not rooted devices. 4 rooted devices needs busybox don't install as the guide explains use a busybox module 4 magisk which you can find it at magisk modules .

I've tried resetting my network settings, flashed stock boot.img, I've never rooted my phone and I really don't want to. I didn't install magisk. The only thing I've done is unlocked my bootloader and install a temporary Twrp for using adb shell. My WiFi got dead after the pie update.

Can anyone extract the persist partition (persist.img) so I could try to flash it from Twrp?

Go to sammobile.com and register (easy). Then search for your device (= SM-t800 or Galaxy Tab S) and country in the firmware section. The latest firmware is ....RJ1 based on 6.01. Download is quite slow though. To flash use an earlier version of Odin e.g 12 or lower as the latest versions are mainly used for Oreo.

I'm on Resurrection Remix and had problems too. I also wanted to go back to original OS but after having flashed the latest nightly (20/11) the problems are gone. So I will stay with the Lineage-based OS for the time being. Cheers LJ
