[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ven1x:
Sooo

Since Ive had it, as long as I remember My Z2 wouldnt properly charge via usb, common but that it wont charge over 85 percent, after that its just sort of "twitching", the charging light keeps blinking like it keeps getting disconnected, regardless of cable/charger. It would still connect OK to PC while constantly blinking, without disconnects. Latest stock rom. Also, Offline charging never worked, it would always boot when plugged in while powered off.

SO, I used a magnetic charger, and that worked fine, no blinking, 100%, until i believe the cable broke. So I went and thought I will try a custom Rom, seems like a software Issue maybe.

Now, on Resurrection Remix, even at low charge, it keeps blinking like crazy, like it keeps getting plugged in, screen wakes all the time, and so it loses charge while plugged in. Tried the QC 2 fast charging kernel mod, but no change. It just keeps alternating between charging and charging slowly, constantly waking the device.

Right now, the only way to add charge is to offline charge, powered off plugged in via usb it works fine

Using the original charger and cable that came with the phone, but its the same with others too. Anybody have a solution?
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] rmroot:
Hi, I've some questions:

I was flashing lineage and at the end of the post I saw firmware file and vendor file. What is vendor file? In which cases should I flash it? When during the installation process?

I cannot understand the installation process of a rom. I saw a guide about android partitions on xda forum but can you provide me more informations and giudes where I can learn what partitions are wiped, what partitions are used for installation.. what partitions can I overwrite after installing of a rom, without problems?

What is user applications data (data, so /sdcard/ I suppose..) partition name and its path? Can I avoid formatting this partition when I'm passing from a rom to another, in general? What are the problems in this case?

Precision and additional guides / resources are highly appreciated,

thank you

It almost 2019 and we have seen a lot of devices coming out. After looking at all the devices I think I have made the right choice of buying Note 9. I mean everything is amazing in this device build quality, display, performance, and battery its a combination of those in a perfect way.

The Smartphone of the Year is Note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rowihel2012:
Yea it is amazing except charging speed not great at all

And camera at night not great like my old p20 pro

But overall note 9 is impressive
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] yungzoe0624:
For the price I disagree. It's a nice phone my first note but I should have waited for the s10. I only got it for the bogo deal which is actually a rip off with Verizon since I have the old unlimited plan. End up paying 55 a month for the second phone and will end up paying it off soon cuz that will end up costing more if I don't. The 5G S10 looks enticing and might end up upgrading lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jgoorn:
Agreed. With the new s10 not having a headphone jack, I don't think I'll be interested in it at all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] meesagandu:
Yes P20 pro is better

Yes I agree that P20 pro has better camera compare to Note9.

But P20 pro is a device which is mainly designed for camera
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jgoorn:
Yep, also I cannot do a notch screen on my phone. I hate it. I had an LG V10 a while back and that was as far as I was willing to go with a non rectangular screen. I actually really liked the build of that phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] vodovodo:
note 9 is one of these devices that will never happen again in a long time period. but SAMSUNG is at that point where u expect everything so no one appreciate anything. and this is coming from a note9 / oneplus 6 red user and i love using both, so not a fanboy here

software wise, they talk about vanilla android experience with pixels or half a second faster with oneplus or iphones, in the same time i cant see any of these phones have multi window support (i mean real multitasking not 2 apps opened in the same time) for apps ! none have 2 apps in 2 windows running at the same time, none can run 2 Bluetooth devices out of the box, none have the magnificent gallery or edge shortcuts or other samsung addons.

also for the camera:

one of the best hands down, and yes huawei and pixel are better for photos "on auto" but note9 has 4k 60 fps, better sound recording, and unmatched multiple super slow motion recording

now screen wise, hands down the best. design, is awesome notch-less design, battery is great, headphone jack, ip68, dual speakers, DEX and VR and 360 cam and other accessories.

oh and lately i read and hear oh huawei or oneplus is so generous with in box accessories! i mean really ? they have usb2 to usb c dongle or OTG dongle or AKG headphones or quality case u can actually use in the box ??

but again, samsung is doing this for a long time, no one expect less.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sstanton86:
I actually came from a pixel 3xl. Lovely phone, good battery and the camera was just insane.

Swapped for my note 9, and I don't regret it at all. It's better phone, the battery is ridiculous - on 4hr sot at 50% - and it's just fun to use without being boring. The camera is good but just no way near the pixel, however the Bluetooth pen and taking photos from afar makes up for it with my daughter!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] AndroidUser00110001:
I just got a Note 9. The first Note I had since original Note. I have used all the Nexus/Pixel devices through the years as my daily driver. I did try a S3 for awhile but couldn't get over all the bloatware. After using the Nexus 6P for 2 years I switched to the Pixel XL 2. What a nightmare that phone was. Between the hardware issues and new bugs with each update I got rid of it for a S9+ What a nice peice of hardware. A couple of weeks ago I had a choice between Pixel XL 3 or iPhone Xs Max. I went with the Max. Couldn't get use to iOS and the Max made me want a bigger screen so I ended up with the Note 9.

What a terrific device. I love Ubuntu on Dex and found a few features of the S Pen to be handy too.

I no longer care about fast buggy updates and quality means everything to me now. I'm

The same can be said for just about every single phone and its eventual successor.

The Note 9 is the last of its breed - big screen, big battery, no notch, headphone jack, good camera.

It means that Note 9 is a device which you love the most..:o

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:45 PM ----------

Yes If you compare the device with the price then there will be only a few devices which can be sold. Even if you do the comparison also Note 9 is best at that price in my point.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] meesagandu:
I don't think the Note9 camera is AVERAGE. I would say that the camera captures decent pictures with high quality.

And the battery life is good it lasts a day.

But I agree that sound quality is not up to the mark.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] zedwards:
I'm not sure why people think the camera isn't great. I've taken some pretty amazing pictures with it. With that said I just love this phone. Best purchase ever.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Being able to pull off some amazing pictures is easy now a days.

It's consistently pulling off great pictures in situations that aren't favorable to pulling off great pictures.

As someone that has an iPhone as a work phone and a former pixel user. Samsung dropped the ball. Even looking at the versatility of my note 8 and 7, I think the software behind this camera is lacking.

Of course it's all perspective, people were taking amazing pictures five years ago to, but they don't compare to the cameras today.

Saying it could be better isn't the same as saying it's terrible. Thankfully it seems to be the software that's the issue for the people that don't like the results from this camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sputnik767:
I think you have expectations that exceed reality. Consistently pulling off great pictures in conditions that aren't favorable is something that you're not going to be able to do with a $2000 DSLR, much less a phone camera. The camera in this phone is consistently rated as one of the highest by professional benchmarks, but it's still a phone with a small lens and tiny sensor. Frankly, I am impressed with it. Taking pictures and video of fireworks for example, it exceeded my expectations, and did better than my wife's Note 8. The pics my mother in law takes with her iPhone X don't come close either. Neither of them have any clue as to how to take good photos, and no camera will compensate for user error, but I digress.

I am not a professional photographer, it's not what I do for a living, but probably half of the shots I take with my DSLR, I end up deleting. This phone takes excellent photos in good conditions and more than adequate photos in poor conditions. I don't discount that there may be a better phone camera out there now, and there will certainly be one in the future, but this phone's camera is far from disappointing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Lol it's something my pixel does constantly. That's exactly why I mentioned the pixel and the iPhone.

I'm not making up some unattainable expectation.

Why all of a sudden would users expect something out of a device that people defending would tell you it could never do?

I'm not gonna compare it to my DLSR, that's a tired and erroneous argument, it's never going to compare so I won't even entertain that, I guess the difference for me is that photo is a hobby and a part of my work so I know what i can make my camera do, cost is irrelevant if you don't know how to fully use the tool. A lot can be done with raw images as well as mobile device post processing (that's why I knocked the software not the hardware)

I'm talking cell phone to cell phone. The whole point of my post was a comparison to other phones prior and on the market.

It isn't even the current gen pixel I'm talking about. I'm talking about the OG pixel, and an iPhone 7.

You're entitled to your opinion. I'll stick with mine that it could be better. Simple as that. Hard for me to see otherwise when I have shots literally side by side in my gallery and I can tell you what phone did what.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sputnik767:
See, this is where you lose me, when you said that the OG pixel consistently produces better photos than the Note 9. In fact, camera quality has been mentioned as one of the sticking points against the OG Pixel. DXO Mark states that the amount of luminance noise in low light for the OG Pixel is a problem.

You can look at the DXO Mark website yourself for professional ratings, but the OG Pixel isn't even in the same ballpark as the Note 9, and the Iphone 7 is even below the OG pixel. I'm sorry, but there is reproducible data out there on phone camera quality, so forgive me, but I don't believe that what you are saying is correct. I think your opinion is clouded by your inherent bias. Nothing wrong with that, we all have our own biases get in the way of rational thinking, but it is what it is. I think you are perhaps unhappy with this camera, or maybe you think that a $1000 phone should be better, but the reality is , this camera is miles ahead of both the other phones you mentioned. The best rated phone camera, the Huawei P20 Pro is only 5 points ahead of the Note 9, and the new iPhone XS Max is 2 points ahead.

And as far as the DSLR thing goes, I never compared this phone or any phone to a DSLR. What I said was that expecting consistently good shots in less than ideal conditions is something that even a DSLR can't reliably do, much less a phone camera. I doubt you can make an argument against that.

Could it be better, sure. But its already far better than the phones you are comparing it to (and inexplicably stating that are actually better), and barely worse than the best rated cameras out there. So, I'm going to stick with you having expectations that exceed reality
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
The fact that the basis for all this is DXO is why I will just agree to disagree.

Really don't need a reviewer to tell me what is good and what isn't when it's sitting in my hands and being used everyday.

Plus I wonder what my bias could be when the last two phones I purchased were Notes...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] meesagandu:
The main focus of Pixel devices is the camera so you eventually get good pictures.. but Note series is package of all which is not master in any of the functionality but it does all functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] pcriz:
Samsung literally markets their camera as the best on the market.

They don't market their device as the second best camera but look at all our other features.

Samsung's problem is post processing so they could focus more on the software and it's improved.

But using how good the pixel is at photos as a rationale for why users should not expect more from Samsung seems a bit self defeating.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] high_voltage:
The only thing that I would disagree with is the multitasking (currently, I didn't pay attention that this thread is OLD lol)... it was INSANELY great on nougat/oreo, but samsung essentially killed it in android 9. Yes, still possible, but what before took 1 step, now takes 4-5. Split screen? You would think they will make it like the assistant (swipe up, hold - open assistant)? Nope, it will not insta split screen AND on top of that they removed in the later base for the second rollout, the ability to insta split screen via the recents button if navigation buttons are on... was a leftover obviously. Corner swipe to insta pop-out? Removed. Menu between two spit apps so you can change their place, decide which one to switch, pop-out and so on? Removed. Holding a card in recents for split/pop out action? Removed.

Right now if I watch youtube and want to split screen with viber:

1. Should swipe recents

2. Should swipe to youtube again as it will auto change to the previous app from the current one

3. Should press the card icon

4. Should press the split screen option

5. Should select what app to split screen with

6. Finally I should resume the video as it was paused

Before? Hold recents (that could had be done with swipe-hold recents... but decisions) - select viber. DONE and NO video pause.

Then I decide I want the youtube below viber? Press the mid to show the menu and switch places... how many steps will this cost you now? Also it WILL pause the video again and the new buffering is taking time, so the pause is big. :)

What if I decide to pop-out the viber or youtube? Simple before - mid menu. Now? Over 9000 steps more.

Love a lot about the android pie update, but the multitasking was killed and now I don't use it as it takes too much time/effort to be effective. Stupid decisions and I bet it has to do with the new fold "3 apps on the same time, bla bla"... that before we could easily do on the note HA! Or we can expect the "new" insane multitasking capabilities in android 10 ads. Device marketed and sold for multitasking is gutted in that regard via update... nice job. What pisses me off the most is that the changes was not needed and everything could had been kept in that regard. My s7e is better at multitasking than a note 9 roflmao. /rant

So I tried installing LOS 15 and 16 and I have same issue with both roms in that the phone boots up but I have no data(no phone calls, text or internet) wifi works good but aside from being a small tablet it's not very useful. I followed the directions very careful and while it's possible that I missed a critical step I don't think I did. When I type in *#06# imei shows 0 however when I flash stock room everything worked
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] abrfilho:
It happened here with one LOS16 build, but it was fixed.

You can try that, install stock, boot twrp, backup your efs partition, do the steps to install the custom ROM, if you still don't have network signal, restore the efs backup.

Thank you I tried again on a separate computer and same issue. I flashed efs which didn't help. Stock roms work I only tried LOS 15 and 16 no other room aside from retail and A1 stock roms. Sucks because flashing roms take so long these days. I miss the gingerbread days lol

Hi all

First of all great forum, found lots of help in here so far.

But I have come up blank with my current problem, tried to google and all, to no avail...

I want to use my TyTN II to log on to my bank on PIE, but the bank use signed JAVA applets, and the closest I came was thunderhawk. But none of the browsers for PDA seem to be able to use signed applets.

My bank has no plans whatsoever to implement web access from PDA´s or WM powered devices, so I´m still trying to find a way to run signed applets in PIE.

You could argue that I should figure out another way to access my info (sms, phone call and stuff), but this has intrigued me so I´m bend on trying to figure out a way :D
