[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Tachi91:
Each manufacturing location will have a difference in quality. However Samsung sets the standard across all it's locations. So any real differences will be unnoticeable by the user.

Devices with more recent manufacturing dates would have a better overall build quality since any defects would have been fixed.

For example let's say initially the original batch of devices had an issue with the screens having excess glue on them.. Or perhaps they switched to a more Efficient thermal paste for the CPU after the first releases.

Same can be said for cheaper lower quality products. As the year goes on Samsung might source some materials to other companies. The new companies might have a cheaper lower, but acceptable quality of a chip or glass. So in some situations a product might have been better at first, but later revisions have issues.

It's 50/50 as to what actually happens.

Actual Report:

NFC issues at certain battery levels.. Apparently some users are reporting NFC problems when the battery is between 15%-75%. Some are associating it with devices manufactured in March
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tobago_88:
thanks for the straightforward answer! So you're saying newer devices could fix known issues from older devices but can risk also using lower quality components? or is that for cheaper phones and not flagships? Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Tachi91:
It's common and expected for devices once they start being mass produced that issues sneak pass Quality Control. Same goes for issues that where never known since you go from a few dozen engineers using the device to several thousand/million users around the globe.

Companies like Samsung and Apple expect a few bad products to get to customers hands, but the margin of error is acceptable to them. Whatever issue come up they find a solution and fix it during future production.

As far as cheaper parts are concerned. Every company, Samsung, Apple, Google etc. They all want to make a profit and finding vendors to buy a cheaper chip or resistor from is always on their scope. As more parts become available there will be companies/vendors that will offer cheaper prices. Some might cut corners to be able to get a more enticing offer for the big companies. It doesn't matter if its a flagship $1500 phone or a $20 budget phone. They buy parts in bulk and those parts can and do get used across a wide range of products cheap or expensive.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tobago_88:
Thank you! So if it were up to you would you want a older or newer s9? or do you not care lol
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Tachi91:
I'd like to get my moneys worth. A newer S9 would hopefully not have as much uncertainty as an older S9. However if the older S9 doesn't have any hardware defects then its all the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] tobago_88:
Good to know and thanks for being so helpful! Well I had an older one that seemed to have a bad battery because it was idle for 9 months. I'm supposed to get a new one soon, I will update the thread if I notice anything haha. I didn't notice much between the Vietnam version and the Chinese version tbh - edit but I heard the Chinese version may be better quality lmao!

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] zXiC:
Is it possible to brick the Kindle Fire HDX 7 Thor with "adb reboot bootloader"?

I put the command in and my tablet shut off and hasn't powered on since.

The Amazon version was very early, near it's release. I didn't update as suggested.

The battery was at 5% but I figured since I was keeping it plugged in and charging it'd be okay.

Is my HDX bricked?
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
That command in isolation is completely benign. What happened just prior is the outcome determiner. Did you attempt to replace the bootloader, downgrade FireOS or install a custom recovery? Any of those actions done wrong will trash the device.

If none of these apply plug the device until fully charged (75+%). Unplug and long press power (10-30 sec) looking/listening for any signs of life. Repeat a few times for certainty. If no joy tether the device to the previously used host and repeat procedure. If nothing the device is not recoverable using any reasonable means.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] zXiC:
I was following steps from: https://xdaforums.com/kindle-fire-h...r-firmware-t3463982/post75284993#post75284993

1. Install the adb-setup-1.4.3 into a folder (for example: C:/adb), extract dd-0.5.zip + unlock.zip + aboot-xxx.zip, put dd.exe + get_code.bat + unlock.bat + twrp image (for your device) + aboot_vuln.mbn (for your device) into that folder. After that install the kindle_fire_usb_driver.

2. Turn on ADB-Debuging Mode in Developer Mod by tapping 7 times the build numbers in settings and connect to your computer + trust your device.

3. Excecute "get_code.bat" in the folder above, you will get a new file: unlock.code in the folder.

4. Open CMD in the folder and run "adb reboot bootloader", the Kindle will reboot to bootloader with "[ fastboot ]" on the display

At step 4 I did the command and the tablet rebooted into a black screen and that was it.

I had already gone through the process once with a prior Kindle Fire HDX 7 tablet so I figured the same process would work out.

Unfortunately I believe the only difference is the firmware version on this HDX 7 being a lot earlier, 2014 build or something. That's about the only thing I can figure.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Nothing in those first four steps could trigger the behavior you describe. The mystical "get_code.bat" in step #3 simply executes a series of queries and then writes out an intermediate work file named "unlock.code". Things get a whole lot more dangerous starting with step #6. Regardless, the age of the existing firmware is irrelevant to the entire unlock process provided you are working with a 3rd (not 4th) gen HDX and utilize the files appropriate for your device type (Thor/7" or Apollo/8.9").

I realize the above does not align with your recent experience. Suppose it is possible the device experienced a spontaneous hardware failure assuming nothing was done prior to the four steps noted.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] zXiC:
Is there anything I can do?

It honestly feels so stupid to brick 2/3 Fire HDXs.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DB126:
Nothing beyond steps previously listed. Sorry for your loss(es).

Curious - what type of host computer were you using? Any chance the HDX was connected to USB 3.1 port? Some are capable of much higher output than older USB standards and don't regulate voltage well. Anything significantly over 5V can (and will) damage older devices.

I'm currently on 8.2.0.141, which is buggy(battery drain). I want to downgrade to. 125 or. 132 or. 135. I figured out that dload method on play recognises sd/dload/update_sd.zip file (instead of extracting update.zip into UPDATE.APP). Though it gives me Software incompatible with Current Version error. Someone help me with this.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] ryanraven:
You can't downgrade using that method, try using HiSuite on a PC or Laptop.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] AjayRio18:
Yeah , but HiSuite didn't show me downgrade option while I was on EMUI 8 , I think it shows for those who are on EMUI 9.
[Honor Play Questions & Answers] ryanraven:
i dont think you can downgrade the an earlier version of 8.0 only from 9.0 to 8.0. The latest 8.0 is fine for me maybe upgrade to 9.0 if you can then downgrade to the latest version of 8.0?

[MENTION=309187]edit[/MENTION]: That solved the Problem
[General Questions and Answers] icu222much:
I just purchased a brand new non-rooted LG G5 (Oreo) and noticing that the battery extremely fast. I have installed a few apps on my phone (Facebook, Facebook Messenger, Line, Skype, WeChat, Whatsapp, and Nova Prime) and noticed that my battery is at 20% by the end of the day. Similarly, when I am performing the same usage on my 2 year old Huawei Honor 5X, my battery would be at about 60% by the end of the day.

My typical usage of my phone would be: social media messages (Facebook Messenger, Whatsapp, WeChat), read articles on Chrome, check road conditions on Google Maps.

I first thought I had a defected phone/battery so I disabled my data/wifi for 12 hours and noticed that the battery only dropped by about 3%. I figured that this is fairly conclusive that the battery problem is coming from one of my apps trying to access the Internet.

I installed Wakelock Detector Lite. After ten hours the app said that WeChat has a wakelock trigger of 80 times. The next app would be com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox at 35 times (I'm not sure what this is as I do not use the Google Quick Search Box widget). I have just uninstalled WeChat to see if it makes a difference.

I also looked at my battery usage (under Settings) which said that Chrome consumed the most battery (at 10%), while the next apps were Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger, WeChat at 3%, 2%, 1%. Note that I have the brightness of my screen set to 50%.

I have noticed that the battery seems to be draining quite rapidly while and shortly after I use the phone.

My questions is what should the next steps be to isolate why my battery is draining so rapidly?

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] atxdynasty:
That strand of fiber is actually inside the glass covering the camera and somehow got stuck in there during the manufacturing process.

I'm from India and this was purchased two days ago from Flipkart. And I was wondering if this will be a cause of concern in the future. It also has a very slight screen-bleed at the bottom chin noticeable on grey background. But I don't mind that much since almost all the Pocos come with the screen bleeding issue.

Good people of XDA, should I opt for a replacement? I got this for Rs. 12,600 ($180) with a 6-8 months Buyback Guarantee @ Rs. 10K ($143), after exchanging my old Redmi Note 3 along with an SBI Card 10% off and an SBI-Rewards Flipkart coupon of Rs. 1000. So, pretty much a sweet deal.
