[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbunnell01:
Fried Hard Drive

Sorry to hear your HD died, mine died last month. First you can not see anything on the HD, because it has special encryption. Just using a firmware will not work. You need to have a new SSHD drive, or as i did replace with 500 gig SSD. Now here is the problem you need to make a bit by bit image of the drive, if it is fried, you will not be able to do it. I was lucky, my son has the same drive so i was able to make my image, There are many steps to getting a new drive up and running. First you need to find a Friend or someone who would let you use there Shield Tv Pro, you need to ope the Shield tv and take the HD out of the borrowed one, then you need a USB SATA connector for the HD from the Borrowed HD and you need to have 500 gig of space on a PC or Laptop HD to store the Image to, it takes about 4 hours to make image, then you hook up the New HD Drive to the SATA Connection and then copy the image From PC to the new drive, that takes about 3 hours, then carefully put drives back in there Shield Tv boxes. there is a small image software to do the image making, i don't remember the name of it. so as you see it is a long process

Can someone recommend a good privacy tempered glass screen? It must be compatible with my ZeroLemon 10,000mah case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] BILLy2000:
Privacy screen protector

I tested the PANZERGLASS PRIVACY SCREEN PROTECTORS, it fitted well, but my one didn´t stick on the screen, it wasn´t really flat. I am not sure if it just was an defective one. There is another disadvantage, the angel of view is to wide, 120 degrees. I would prefer 60 or 90 degrees.

But it´s really hard to find a good one.

Did you succeed meanwhile?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 Questions & Answers] NYCundrgrnd:
I replaced the microSD card today in my WIfi model of the Tab S3. While I had the single slot tray (microSD card) removed, I looked inside and it looks like the contacts to read a SIM card are in there.

So I wanted to know if anyone has attempted to swap the WIFI model single slot tray with a dual slot Card/SIM tray?

Wondering if "maybe" the internals are in there and some software tweaks to enable it?

I am debating buying a dual tray online and testing it. But I don't want to end up damaging the slot.

I also checked the popular "teardown" fix it type site for the Tab S3 but I didn't find a video on the disassembly.

Thanks

The hardware won't be there even if the sim tray is.

Hi guys,

so this thing is annyoing me since i got the phone about a month ago and I thought maybe someone else would come up with this but seems like noone actually has this problem.

So since i got my phone, basically background synchronisation of apps are non-existant. I use a lot of social messengers (whatsapp, skype, etc) and the messages just dont get synchronised in the background. Its not about Data, i checked and disabled all the limits. Also its not about Power consumption, i also checked that. Background Sync is working for maybe 10 minutes until the phone just shuts the app down and no messages and or notifications appear.

It really annoys me, so maybe some of u guys got a fix.

I am on version 2.20 now, but started at 2.11

I already rooted it in every version and also tried resetting but that didn't help either.

My Carrier is T-Mobile Germany and the APN seems set correctly. Could it have to do something with the carrier?

Developer Option Background Limits is set o Standart. I just got one simcard installed

Thanks for looking into it and sorry for any language mistakes

[Huawei Y6 Questions & Answers] ItaGuy:
Hi everyone, as the title says, my lyo-l01 is soft-bricked. I searched everywhere online to find the UPDATE.APP file and an official ota package...my actual build is lyo-l01c600b105, and the most close firmware I could find is c600b103. Now, this file has an UPDATE.APP file, but also a scatter file and full SYSTEM, BOOT, RECOVERY etc...imgs. I already have huawei update extractor, mtk droid studio, huawei multi-tool, mtk rom studio and sp flash tool installed on my pc.

Unfortunately multi tool won't work because I have an unlocked bootloader but a frp lock, which I tried to unlock via adb and fastboot but no success (I even tried to relock the bootloaader but it won't allow me to, because of the frp). I also tried using sp flash tool with the scatter file I have, but when I select it the tool gets an error saying "this application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in a unusual way. Please contact the application's support team for more information."

Mtk droid studio only recognizes the processor (MT6735), build date UTC (19700101-000000) and LCD driver IC: 1-ili9881c_dsi_vdo_txd (I really don't know what this is); and on start it says: "--- ERRORE : --- TotalBytesPerChunk Not Found. Set default Page/Spare=2048/64 !!!" and "--- WARNING! Recovery is not compatible with this device!". The recovery is a TWRP 3.0.2.

I was forgetting that I also tried to create a dload folder on the sd card and putting in it the UPDATE.APP file, but when pressing vol up + vol down + power my phone will boot into recovery.

So, summarizing:

- BUILD: lyo-l01c600b105

- PROCESSOR: MediaTek MT6735P

- Unable to boot to system, only recovery and fastboot (sideload too)

- Unable to relock bootloader, unlock frp, unbrick via above mentioned methods

Can someone please help me? I'm stuck from 3-4 days and I really need this phone back :(

Thanks in advance for any help!

As the title says, how's the camera stability on higher firmware above .146.. I am having camera fc's on .146 ( failure to connect) ..
[Huawei Mate 20 Pro Questions & Answers] PhilMorin:
I'm on 146 and even the previous one (127 I think?), I've had this happen once in like 2 months.

Had this happen every other day at first. Their support told me to do a "reset all settings" which thought was silly but tried it anyway. Fixed it for me afterwards (except that one time within 2 months).

It's annoying to have to redo your settings but might be worth a shot as if it's like me, it was driving me insane not being able to use the camera and almost made me return the device...

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] seoulbrova:
I've tried multiple brands including whitestone and for cost, ease of install, and coverage the Ringke Dual Easy Film is hands down the best.

It isn't tempered glass but it doesn't have the stickiness like other brands. It feels completely smooth and my pen glides across it just like glass. Also, I haven't had any edge lifting and install was a piece of cake.

At the price for 2 I would have paid double if I knew it was this good.

Here's a video on the install and how it looks at the end. You'll note a very minor bubble on the bottom corner but it disappeared after about 10 minutes after I pushed it down a few more times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
I agree. I had previously touted the QiMai TPU screen protector as the best, but I accidentally tore that. Decided to try the Ringke Dual Easy Film. It's basically the same exact screen protector, but the Ringke is an easier install method.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] DerrtyJones:
I will concur with this. Install was super easy and clean. I usually go with Armorsuit if I can't find a TGSP that fits my phone perfectly. I took a chance on this and so glad i did. Highly recommended.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] nbog:
Got the phone after Black Friday, put LK tempered and it separated from the screen second day, plus sensitivity went to drain.

Ordered Shilling 3D and after 4 weeks on - no issues, no need to inrease touch sensitivity, in a combo with Spigen Rugged Armor - charm. Haven't droped it yet, can't comment on how well both of them protect the phone, hope it never happens
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] eliashadow:
Reading the opinions here i just applied Ringke easy dual film.

Easy installation, all good.

The only disadvantage is that it's not so antifingerprint.

But recommended...

Sent from Note 9 while ruling the world from my toilet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] harlenm:
It gets indentations and is always greasy. Plus it's too big and my regular case pushes up the edges.

I'm very tempted to just not use screen protectors anymore as I'm really tired of the aggravation they cause
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @Grimspoon:
After reading this thread and having a never ending stream of frustrations with Whitestone on my Note 9 I decided to order these and give it a try. My first impression was i really liked it, it installed easily and is cleaner looking than the glass, initially, due to not having a mountain of dirt dust and fuzz collecting around the edges. It is 100 % a grease magnet though. It's so prone to smudges I'm pretty sure I'm noticing it pull grease from the air without even touching it. Anyone reading this thread wondering if it's really as bad as some of us have mentioned; it's worse. I cannot overstate how smudgy this product is.

So weigh the pros on cons. Smudges vs dust mountains around the edge of the Whitestone. Which will trigger your fragile OCD less. My own fragile OCD is still undecided.

The edges lifting is definitely an issue I wasn't expecting. This thing has great coverage. Way better than glass. This is a plus and a minus. I've used it with 3 cases now; Spigen Liquid Air; Ringke Air Clear and Rhinoshield Bumper. After a night out at dinner I came home with the Spigen Liquid Air having pushed the corners up a bit on the bottom. I got this screen on pretty squarely, there's not a lot of imbalance between the top and bottom edges. Less than .020" give or take measuring with my eye-lazers. The Ringke air has less aggressive edging around the case and is perhaps a bit softer too along the ridge where the case might meet the screen protector. Perfect fit. The Rhinoshield bumper looks like it's VERY close and for the few hours I used it with this screen protector it did not lift any edge. I think it might after some extended use though.

I also feel like I'm at the point where I might just say F-it to using a screen protector. My pockets are dusty as hell though, and I know it's a bad idea that I'll later regret. Where the heck is all this dust in my pockets coming from anyways? I also feel like I could get used to using this screen protector on my phone with just a skin on the back and go case-less, a tempting notion but also probably a bad idea.

Overall I do like this screen protector. It doesn't feel as nice as Whitestone but it's way more clean (assuming you don't ever touch your phone) and easier to clean when it does get dirty. They could probably make it better by increasing the radius of the corners by just a bit and really increase case compatibility. I'm going to try and live with it a bit and see how I feel after a week or so.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bob2300nx:
My V20 is 2 years old and never had a screen protector. It always lived in my pockets and has fallen in crevices in the car where I had to pull it out, likely roughing up the screen.

The outcome? Micro scratches you can see with the screen off under light. Never noticeable in day to day use.

My thought process is I own the phone to enjoy not keep pristine for the next owner. With the deals I find, 2-3 years of usage is perfect for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @Grimspoon:
My enjoyment is derived through the process of keeping the device as fresh and new as long as possible. I can't deal with the micro scratches or worn out anodizing or any of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bob2300nx:
Well I am glad we all have options then. To me that sounds like keeping your car in perfect condition for the next person. Sure I am going to look after my stuff (I have never shattered a screen or broke any of my phones for that matter), but I am not going to worry about micro scratches that you will never seen day to day and have to use a light and look for it with the screen off. You interact with the screen each time you use the phone, I much rather have perfect response and beautiful glass feel than worry about scratches I will never see. I guess I am taking a risk that the screen durability is as good or better than my V20, I think it should be as scratch resistant or even more

This is a good point. My old phone was the V20 and as it aged I was alittle less careful with it, that thing has a reputation for being rugged. With that said I was pleasantly surprised when I looked at drop tests on this phone. I will be careful and take precautions that seem necessary to me (have a slim to medium sized case).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] @Grimspoon:
Oh boy if I'm being particular over my phone you should see my truck!!! :p:p:p
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Batas:
Just applied this screen protector. So far very good. For me it is better than all I tried so far, including: whitestone dome glass (gets "spiderwebs" over time , skinomi techskin (horrible orange peel) and gadgetshieldz (spen stickiness).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Your last paragraph, hit the spot. I was like this with my vehicle, seat covers, expensive paint protection film etc.. one day I realized it was all for the benefit of the next owner LOL.

They have another one that wraps around also I saw on Amazon.

Do they sell a back glass screen protector? Would be nice .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] username4this:
Gel screen protectors are always going to be greasy as ****, that's my main complain on the Spigen protector I have currently applied on my Note 9.

Also, another downfall of this type of screen protectors is the fact that, they get identations if you, for instance, press your nail against it, your spen, or any other "hard" object. They sort of self heal so this effect goes away after a while.

If you loo closely, you'll notice an orange peel effect as well, the protector isn't 100% smooth as glass.

All in all, all screen protectors will have their pros and cons and to me, Samsung should just drop the ****ing curved screens idea, it's awful and brings close to none advantages.

I will certainly not drop 50€ on a godamn screen protector, might as well buy insurance and have the glass replaced when something bad happens or when I'm about to sell the phone.

Hate the Spigen NeoFlex i got on my device rn. Getting Ringke one in a couple of days. Hopefully this will feel better.

You guys should check out alinsea glass screen protector on amazon. Its a budget version of whitestone dome. Ive had it on for a couple of weeks and it works great
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] jcrompton:
Any advantage for this protector vs the OP described protector?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
I bought the Ringke one. Currently hesitant to apply it. I'm good at applying wet applied films. Hence the hesitation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Android_Nayeem:
Its glass. Its exactly like the more expensive whitestone dome one but cheaper. Quality is amazing. Plus they are good with customer service and sent me one because i messed up my firdt installation
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Tried installing this..still got dust particles on in there. When removing tab 2 and tab 3 allows dust to get in there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] reV17:
I accidentally stretched and disfigured both of mine on installation lol. Gonna try again, if I still struggle oh well
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
I found on one my one ( two pack ) the tabs broke off and also the scoring wasn't done correctly. I got one done 90% - 95% ok. I do like the fit and materials used.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Just an update the majority of the 4 to 5 tiny bubbles disappeared over night. Just one tiny spec probably really dust left behind now. So all in all 99% success , edges are also immaculate and give most coverage. Product is a win.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] harlenm:
I couldn't stand the way this screen protector felt, too rubbery and not smooth like glass is.

I've given up on screen protectors and I'm just gonna be careful with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
The ringke felt like glass. I kid you not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] harlenm:
No it didn't. I used it. Didn't like it at all
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Fairy muff. Must be my soft finger tips.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] vboyz103:
Bought a 2-pack to try. Messed up on initial one but got it perfectly on 2nd try. This thing is one of the best I've used, the screen clarity is superb as well as how it felt with touch. It felt like you are touching the original glass.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] xtc_24:
Ok first things first...this is hands down the best screen protector I've had on my device! The clarity is superb, fingers glide smoothly on surface, 0 issues with S-pen and unless you look closely you'll never noticed you have a screen protector installed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Definitely my favourite so far. Did the wife's note 9 hers came out 100% perfectly. Even though there was 3 air bubbles during first 24 hours. Mine has one dust or adhesive defect near center. Generally pleased.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] MrPhilo:
Did you get it from Amazon UK? Theres 3 negative reviews but the US counterpart is opposite lol in review score.

Also anyone whose used alinsea tempered glass or white dome, how does it compare? I have the alinsea on atm but its collecting dust on the sides so might switch to this, but touch is quite important for me, especially that I use my Note 9 to draw as well..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Amazon USA website I bought it from.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] MrPhilo:
Does the pen leave any Mark on the screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
No. But I'm sure if I pressed obnoxiously it would.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
anybody had any issues with a line of adhesive right where the two halfs meet? i have done both of mine and both had it!

IMG_20190221_182921
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
Have you waited 24 hours? If so, its defective.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
I have with the one, just put this one on last night. They are sending me a replacement through Amazon. Thing feels so good too!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
I just saw a YouTube video and the person applying it also had a line where yours was. Probably defective manufacture.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
GREAT, i hope i can get one without the line it is really distracting. maybe it will go away because the rest of it the bubbles are disappearing
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] oneandroidnut:
Well I tried another one today and exact same line! Followed this instruction video to a t and went on super smooth. Just going to use this one and if line stays I'm going to get a refund

Here is video I followed

https://youtu.be/HfB9DbiQd8U

Here is photo of right after I put it on. (Yes I put my screen protector on in the bathroom don't judge I like to have it super hot after shower to keep dust down, yes I know I'm crazy lol)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
If I remember correctly, I had that line as well, but it disappeared.

I've had this screen protector on my Note 8 and my Note 9 for a couple months now and couldn't be happier. They aren't as oleophobic as the factory screen, but they clean up easy. Just my shirt or a microfiber cloth. If it gets bad, I put a few water drops on it then wipe it off. I actually think it gets easier to clean as you use it.

It's still just as smooth as glass to the touch, and I've had zero issues with it lifting. I'll be ordering the same screen protector for my wife's S10+ as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] reV17:
It's normal give it a day or two. Mine disappeared. Completely normal
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Half Man Half Biscuit:
Had a couple kf bubbles and I was annoyed,but after now 5 days they over night dissapeared!

Just give it a few days and see how it looks.

Just an idea but when you applied it,did you push right from the middle or slightly further back? If you pressed immediately at the center you might've missed like a 0,00001 inch and it didn't press on the screen property.

As said just thinking out loud
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Limeybastard:
A good point raised. I'm thinking one had to push the film 1mm or more from below the application line.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] bond32:
I really appreciate this thread... I bought about $75 worth of glass protectors only to find they fail to stick on the edges or they cracked. This little Ringke gem seems to be the best.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] :
Dude, that's a great idea...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] liamR:
The problem with plastic screen protectors is that they kill the pen tip very fast. Also it will never feel like glass :(

Whitestone is garbage (the LOCA glue to be exact), so to get the best Note 9 experience you need to go naked...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] Mr. Orange 645:
I've been using this screen protector for quite a while now. It has had no I'll effect on my pen tips, and it feels like glass to me. It is suprisingly smooth to the touch.
