[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] milkydude12:
Hi, I recently came across a thread via the Samsung members app that talked about the "ONE UI" update and how to install it on s8 plus devices that end with a "W" (by CHMultimédia) (canadian variant) model code. I was wondering if anyone here has tried the method, and if so, are there any issues? bugs? How does this compare to the method already on XDA? and does this reduce battery to 80% like rooting?

Thanks :)

I use the G955U U1 firmware on my G955W. I don't really have any problems. Charges to 100% etc and I have the added bonus of now having the FM radio chip activated (which Bell lies about and says only Samsung can enable it).
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] milkydude12:
Thank you!!! :D I'll try it out. I hope once the official release drops I'll be able to revert XD. In case the files don't work (for restore), is there any way I can do my own back up of the files I'd need in order to do a revert/restore to official Samsung Android 8.0?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zirt57:
I've been able to restore to stock without any problems. I use Super Backup Pro for my backups. Just make sure you backup to an external SD card as the internal will get wiped.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] milkydude12:
Thanks Jeff. I'll do just that :) :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] milkydude12:
Sorry to bug you again, However I have a question in regards to restoring to stock. I'm slightly puzzled as to how to backup the required files in order to keep them to be able to revert to stock when needed, and also I do not understand how to even begin the process. I've rooted my fair share of phones, however with the s8+ everything is really quite new to me. (Currently my s8 G955W is completely stock, no root, no nothing).

Thanks :D
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zirt57:
I basically do three backups (I believe in redundancy). I first backup with Superbackup Pro. With it I can backup sms, call logs, calendars, contacts and even apps. The second and third backups are done automatically but I make them do a backup NOW. These are under Settings/Cloud and accounts. First I backup to Samsungs's Cloud. I make sure everything I want backed up is turned on, then do a Sync Now. Next I back out of Samsung Cloud and pick Backup and Restore. Again there I make sure everything is turned on (except music for me as I'd fill my space too quickly. My music is backed up on my computer anyway). Lastly I pick Backup account from my Google Account. and pick "Back up now". With this I should have a good backup of everything I want.

Hope this helps.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] milkydude12:
I see, that makes sense. However, is there a way to backup the bootloader or the rom? I don't mind losing all my files however, I would like to keep my rom/bootloader just in case I screw up during the update to android 9.0 process or when I decide to revert back
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zirt57:
You don't need to back them up as you can always get the latest version here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8-plus/SM-G955W/

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] milkydude12:
OOO, thats really helpful! Thank you :). Now that I know where to find the files, I have no fear of not being able to revert back to stock! Though I have a slight question, looking at the website there seems to be a lot of different versions, I have an unlocked s8+ with G955WVLS5BSA1, my question is since i've an unlocked variant, which file would you recommend I use in case I ever need to revert to stock? and also because my bootloader is G955WVLS5BSA1 with the CSC ver G955WOYA5BSA1 is it still possible to update to android 9.0 using this method?

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] zirt57:
You don't seem to know a lot about flashing (my impression but I could be wrong as this is text only and not person to person) Things can go wrong very quickly and you risk bricking your phone. Basically your process is to flash a US version back to CK1 (T-Mobile is the best), then do the updates as per the link you provided. THEN if you don't like the beta, you have to flash back to stock per the link I provided. Either way, in the end, you will have to flash back to stock when the official version comes out as there will NOT be a way to upgrade from the beta to the official version. Personally, I would wait till the official version comes out. It should be this month. In fact, I personally didn't like the beta version so I've flashed back to stock and will wait for the official version.

[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] LittleRedDot:
I'm intrigued but I can't find a single review anywhere. Has anyone tried any cases like this one?
[OnePlus 6T  Accessories] OhioYJ:
I'm not sure I see an advantage. Cases are cheap enough to replace as the plastic clips break, and the clips are seem more likely to stay together during a drop. A snap together case also doesn't have the possible draw backs of magnets near your phone. Have you read any of the reports of touchscreens losing responsiveness or not functioning at all in the areas near magnets (permanently) after long term exposure. There are also cases where it affects NFC functionality, as well as the compass depending on the positioning.

I have used a magnet case several years ago for one of my older Samsung galaxy devices. It was ok but today I prefer plastic cases.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ebmorgan:
So, I was bored and popped my unlocked T-Mobile Note 9 with the Pie+One UI beta. Everything works great so far. One exception is I have multiline. Inbound calls work fine to either number, but the dialer doesn't have the line selector for making outgoing calls. It's pinned to the primary number. Anyone seen a workaround (beside installing the DIGITS app from T-Mobile)? I've search here and didn't see any thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] rsfinsrq:
Do you have Real Time Text turned on? I remember a similar issue and the RTT selection would overwrite/replace the line selector option on the dialer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] ebmorgan:
Nope. It's off. Also noticed that the default call method is video call. Ugh....

==UPDATE==

Interesting: the default call type being video call happens when Wi-Fi Calling is enabled. If I turn it off the default call type is a normal voice call.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byproxy:
So I have a Fire 7 tab that, at some point a good while back I did a whole debloat and launcher highjack on. I haven't really used this tab in quite some time. Decided to start using it again just today so dusting it off. It's on the 5.6 software now, which I realized is a mistake but I didn't realize the 5.3.6 software update was actually the 5.6.3 update (due to the typo) until I started poking around the forums here again. So ya, not super but things are working just fine still so not a huge deal I guess.

Anyway, I just realized that Prime Video is one of the apps that apparently was disabled (or whatever) when I debloated a while back. In the apps list is says "Not installed for this user". When I click on the app, the screen for it is entirely greyed out (though it does show as taking up 50.16MB on the device).

Is there a way at this point for me to get this app back? I tried installing from the play store and from a downloaded apk to no avail. Any help much appreciated. Thanks!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DB126:
You'll need to factory reset or reload/sideload FireOS 5.6.3.x (or any build down to 5.4.0.0). There is no way to restore individual apps that have been 'naturalized' via techniques used in the homegrown debloat scripts.

I have noticed that my phone becomes hot and starts thermo throttling a lot faster on emui 9 (playing pubg mobile). No matter if performance mode in battery settings is turned on or off.

Additionally I experience frame drops.

I had that issue pre GPU turbo update but it disappeared after the emui8 GPU turbo update.

So my phone just started showing the Chromecast icon - and I'm not using it. Am I the victim of spyware? When I open the drawer, nothing's there!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Luggruff:
Seems like my bank app was causing it. I ran the built in optimization tool and my bank app drained battery, so I clicked “fix now“ (next to that specific app) and the Chromecast Icon disappeared. Feels like a poor choice of icon on Samsung's end for something meant to warn about battery usage..
[General Questions and Answers] NexusLush:
I have been waiting forever for a Sony Z5 tablet, and I think forever is how long it will take. :rolleyes:

Requirements:

1) bootloader can be unlocked

2) some decent custom ROM/root support

3) 32GB LOCAL system storage, or 128 if no expansion card. 16GB is not enough for local system storage and I'm not a fan of adoptable storage (was slow on my sony z2 tablet, maybe better now).

4) Waterproof - or at least has a very reputable waterproof case for sale.

5) Would prefer 4 GB RAM or even 6/8 if possible.

I've gone through GSM arena, various reviews, and it seems the only one that comes close is the Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 is the only one that meets most of the requirements. Obviously not the Verizon one (bootloader) or probably through any other carrier.

I maintain that the Sony Xperia Z2 tablet was the best tablet ever made for Android. That said, the versions I had only had 16 GB of local storage, or a 32 GB one from Verizon I managed to brick (first time out of many unlockings/rootings), and the battery isn't what it once was. I am tempted to get a Z4 but they are still very expensive and now many years old. I won't be swimming laps with the thing but want it to survive a drop in a pool, hot tub, etc like the Z2 was.

Any help would be appreciated - and if you think a tablet that will meet my needs is coming out in the next 4-6 months, please reply as well.

Hello guys.. yesterday I bought to my girlfriend a new mobile phone and I got from her the old one... And that is the mighty Mi max 2 ...

Please feel free to inform - advice me which rom and kernel is complete best for mi max 2 end which Google camera APK you use for better shots..

Thank you all.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] ridershahmir:
You can use pixel experience rom with hardrock pie kernel for best performance and battery life along with gcam support
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] LastChance777:
I've tested tonns of roms for Max 2 and now I'm on stock developer ROM with root and latest kernel from Hard_Rock. If you want gcam then install it using root, if you want smth else - then you can also install it via root.

This is my opinion of the best for this phone.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] lottarake:
ArrowOS is most stable ROM currently. Using that paired with Hard Rock's latest Pie kernel will give you the best build. Pixel's Gcam is already baked into the firmware as well so you won't need to flash the modded Gcam like before.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] privatehunter:
i also have tried lot of custom roms and so far works for me best PixelExperience :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 2  Questions & Answers] Hard_Rock83:
I am also fan of hardrock roms and his roms are awesome and well optimized.:cowboy:

HERE THERE ARE FEW SCENARIOS:

a) IF U WANT TO UPGRADE TO NEW ANDROID VERSION AND U DON'T HAVE ISSUE DEALING WITH IN CALL VOLUME(oreo was joke):

Here are best pie roms:

1) for well round best balanced rom with balanced extra features go for arrow

2) for best plain and simple roms almost like stock , go for pixel experience or lineage

3) if u want huge extra features and u like to play with more and more features then go for havoc

** Kernel should be hardrock v1.6 for pie .great backup with speed even beats flagship devices in normal performance:cool:

b) IF U DONT WANT EVEN ONE SINGLE BUG AND DONT MIND STUCK AT NOUGAT THEN:

1) Best will be miui since no bugs, best sounds, everything is fine..you can choose between different miui modded roms..every rom is almost same

2) if u r custom rom lover then go for lineage 14.1 enforcing..best simple rom yet in nougat or Xenonhd (remarkable) which is best overall quality and media with customisations.

**Kernel always be hardrock kernel since top notch performance and huge control over kernel..u can get maximum out if ur device lol.

Hopefully above suggestions will help:laugh:

I got the phone new monday

I've done testing and I have no sound on the main microphone

It just replays recorded noise

Is it hardware or is there a known fix to this issue ?

thanks
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] vofferz:
If it's a new phone, you should probably just return it and ask for another... Someone on a finnish forum was complaining about the same issue of microphone not working and said that he got a new phone from the store and the problem was gone.

Maybe Sony has had a bad batch?

Can't do it. bought it new from someone

Is somebody that solved this issue? VHollund?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] VHollund:

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] VHollund:
That someone should have a warranty

In my case I bought it from internet store in france and we have 14 day retraction right + 2 years warranty, so I send it back

It was not a software problem

You can test the microphone by going into the systems settings on the phone

If you have no warranty, you can use a head set which is what I do most of the time anyway not to get my brain fryed

It will stil work on speaker sphone where the 2nd microphone is on

Some developers might be able to help you hack it to use only the 2nd mic

I've seen inconclusive threads about it

If you do this you will void your warranty and it will not be water ressistant anymore
