[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rascal0pl:
Which 3rd party app let you record 4k@60fps? I tried probably all available apps. None of them allowed me to set 4k@60 fps. They removed pro mode from official app, so there is no way to record 4k 60fps video with fixed iso/exposure. This phone is useless for video recording on pie.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 6thtry:
Afaik, they did not remove the 4K@60fps option, there are mentions of this even on this forum, but see also e.g.

https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S9/No-Video-Pro-Mode-after-S9-Update/td-p/458656

That is, they just failed badly with the user interface design.

However, the pro video mode was removed. That above thread seems to indicate that the Samsung's camera app is supposed to get the pro video mode back... some day.. maybe.. I believe it when I see it.

For the "which 3rd party app let you record 4k@60fps".. Since that Phazonclash' message is old (probably pre-Pie), and I am still on the old version, I think I can say this much (but NOTE: I have Exynos, Snapdragon versions had restrictions, like no 60fps):

Filmic Pro seems to allow recording at 4K 60fps, and after downloading the test snippet to PC, VLC claims H264 MPEG4 ACV1, 3840x2160, 60.005110fps, and about 200Mbit/s bitrate. So at least Filmic Pro could do it on Exynos with pre-Pie firmware. (Of course the encoding and quality/bitrates can be adjusted, but I just did a quick test with whatever other settings.)

Due to some bugs/things (mainly due to external mic activation quirk), I contacted Filmic recently, and they suggested that I'd stay with this earlier firmware, even though the external mic issue seems to have gotten fixed with/in Pie - they still have some other issues when running on Pie. And I'll indeed be delaying my update until Samsung can get its Pie version properly developed and past this real beta-testing period. So, I can't test if that Filmic Pro 4k@60 situation would have changed to worse. And naturally, can't say anything for the Snapdragon variants.

See also: https://filmicpro.helpscoutdocs.com/article/41-samsung-s9-and-s9-filmic-pro-v6-compatibility-guide

That one reveals some of the things hampering the 3rd party apps. Some additional bits here:

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9-plus/help/using-s9-plus-filmic-pro-zhiyun-smooth-t3847010

Even with those restrictions, I wouldn't call the phone "useless" for video recording (in general); quite the great movies have been done with systems far less capable than even the restricted Snapdragon variants. But the lack of fixed exposure etc. sure limits a lot, even more than the lack of 60fps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rascal0pl:
I know about it, but when I can't set fixed exposure and iso it's like not being about to record at all for me, because auto mode for video is absolutely dreadful in literally every situation.

PS. my Note have Exynos CPU too.

Filmic Pro - tried their test app and it says that there's 4k@60fps support. I was about to buy it, but I hate paying for something without testing it first. I downloaded "patched" version and I wasn't able to set anything above 30fps. Even for lower resolutions (it was just greyed out). So this app is nothing but scummy scam. At least for Note 9 @ pie (but still, I don't know why their test app says that this mode is supported, this app is not cheap and they should release trial version - 1 day trial would be enough).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 6thtry:
Yeah, trial version would be better, but the test app is still better than having no demo/test/trial at all (like with many other paid apps).

Note that the "patched" version could have been made from an earlier version, still having a repertoire of issues with S9/S9+/Note 9, and if not patched by oneself from original version, who knows what other changes have been made. I'd say it is quite unjustified to claim a software "scummy scam" on the basis of testing an unofficial version. Especially in a situation where Samsung's firmware is already known to be more than a bit messed up (not supporting this or that, some things behaving differently than expected, etc.).

I'm not saying that the current official version wouldn't have any issues, on the contrary, it even crashes at times for me (I think related to external mic stuff, but, could also be a fault in the firmware).

However, I can say that it certainly is not a "scummy scam". I did buy it, after reading plenty about it, and have since used it a bit, e.g. recording few presentations. Seems to work quite well in general. Though I dislike some of its UI design, somewhat inconvenient for certain things. And its user manual still doesn't even seem to know about Android (thus settings are listed and explained as for iPhone only).

That it has problems with Note 9 (S9/S9+) with Pie (and also some issues before Pie) seems to be caused mostly (but not only) by Samsung restricting things deliberately and providing broken camera APIs for third parties to use.

But I also think Filmic should tell more openly about issues on these phones if using Pie at the time being, instead of only mentioning "Samsung S9 and Note9: better compatibility with Android Pie.". Which, while true (better than before does not mean that it is not without serious issues), seems to be quite misleading compared to the full current state of things (and they know about that).

All in all, those who have already updated to Pie might be SOL (for the time being, at least), but mostly due to Samsung having buried its head in its own ***. It is already known what the hardware can/could do (and might be able to do even more than what is already known), and if the APIs and firmware worked correctly and without deliberate restrictions, there would be plenty of apps utilizing it all, making Samsung's own camera app look like a poor exercise.

All info here: https://gitlab.com/fusionjack/adhell3

Install Notes:

-Generate License Key: You need two keys: KPE key and backwards-compatible key

-Build your app

-Install the app

-Activating

1. Grant the app administrator privileges.

2. Enter your license key.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those who lazy, you can try my build attachment

If the app fails to activate, it's usually because of one or more of the three following reasons:

1. The key it should be a 35 character long key that begins with KLM. (eg: KLM06-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX . Do not delete the "-"s. Copy/paste the key as given by Samsung)

2. Your package ID was black listed. (uninstall app > rename apk package ID > install again)

=>Rename your APK package ID as unique of a name as possible:

-use any tool apps for edit apk

eg: Apk Editor Pro_ver_1.8.28(not use newer)

-Open APK Editor Pro

-Choose "Select an APK File" and find the downloaded apk file

-Select "Common Edit"

-Edit the "Package name" field and change it to a unique name.

+It's best to stick to the same package ID length. 3.12.8 characters

+If you use same name each time, you should be able to just install updates over your existing AdHell 3.

+Ensure "Rename the package name in resources.arsc" is checked.

-Press Save.

-Select "Install".

3. Your license key was suspended.

=> Generate a new key and use that.

It's recommended to look at all 3 possibilities before trying again.

If you get an 201 error, try closing and re-opening the app.

I switched to 6T from Nexus 6P, and now application I use for work won't save any login data, such as custom domain name and passcode.

Every day or any time the session in Field Service Lightning app is expired, I'm entering my passcode, which I setup on first app run, and it tells me its invalid, so i have to do all login procedure again - choose "I forgot passcode", enter custom work domain name, then login/password, then passcode/repeat passcode, and then I'm able to use it until session is expired, which is approx 24 hours. Very frustrating :rolleyes:.

I've never had this kind of problem on my old Nexus 6P, so it made me think that the problem is in my 6T. Any suggestions?

Thanks.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Coconut tree:
Is the note a upgrade or downgrade from the le pro 3?
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Forsaken75:
Personally I consider it a downgrade. Perhaps camera is better (although GCam in Le Pro 3 rocks) and lower and newer processor means better battery life, but in general terms it can't beat Le Pro 3.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] mikeysteele:
A sidegrade at best. Better cam, better battery life, slower cpu, much worse GPU, worse build quality, worse connectivity (micro usb in 2018?!)

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] mikeysteele:
I've got a Mi 6x so basically the same phone. Again it's a sidegrade from the Le Pro3. It's not really that much different from the Redmi Note 6 really, it just has a slightly more powerful CPU and a smaller battery and USB-C.

[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] 433Mhz:
Some youtube reviewer put the Le Pro 3 (with custom rom) up against the Redmi Note 5 Pro:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0Jj0mPyZTc

Surprisingly the S820 with UFS 2.0 storage couldn't beat the newer S636 with just slower EMMC, despite using a custom rom on the Leeco vs MIUI on the Redmi.

On top of that, the Redmi Notes have a microSD slot, 3.5mm headphone jack and a significantly better battery life. I've also not been able to get rid of the fluctuating cell signal strength and noticably high input lag on my Le Pro 3 (x722/Elite).

So unless you're into gaming, the Redmi is a better choice. The build quality is likely better on the Le Pro 3. But I'd go with the Pocophone or Mi 8 Lite atm, they're more expensive than the Redmi Note 5/6 but better value imho.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] Hidden1977:
I wonder what a custom it is. This movie without selecting a good custom on le pro 3 is unreliable.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] tsongming:
I agree.

The Rom was Pixel Experience June 2018 around the time that Gabronog was doing blind updates due to his phone being bricked or damaged. I was using that Rom around that time and although that Rom was great overall.

That time period wasn't the best of what the PIXEL rom could be. If I remember correctly in June 2018, AICP and Lineage were the best performers and Miui 9 had the best battery life.

I can say this with some confidence since I have kept a record of stats for all the Roms that I have used since early June 2018.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niketathakare:
Hii all,

As most of the user are using android smartphones and now i am using moto g5 plus so i wanto know more about factory reset protection?

How it works?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iAkhil:
Factory Reset Protection is a security method that was designed to make sure someone can't just wipe and factory reset your phone if you've lost it or it was stolen. It's a good thing — it makes a stolen phone harder to use, which makes it less appealing to thieves, and anything that can protect our data on a phone we've lost is welcome. It can become a problem if you sell, trade, or even give away a phone without factory resetting it, though. How it works explains why.

You have to be signed in with the "owner" account of the phone (the one you used to set it up) in order to factory reset it. That means if you give me your phone I can't reset it without you being signed in There are random workarounds on the Internet, but they tend to get patched almost as soon as they are discovered. You'll pretty much need to know the login details for the last account to use the phone before you can reset it and create a new owner account.

Disabling FRP (Factory Reset Protection) is simple. On most phones, it will be automatically done whenever you choose to reset the data through the phone's settings. If your phone has an extra layer of reset protection from the company who built it or has a "find my phone" app from the company who built it, you'll want to disable that manually first. :angel:
