[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] sentinelvdx:
Hi,

Really noob question here.

If I change the XSG ROM that comes with my phone by flashing the BTU ROM on it, does it trips knox?

XSG takes too long to get updates and I would like to switch to BTU, but keep everything legal and working.

I make use of knox so I don't want to loose any secure feature, plus I want to keep it same as I bought it.

Thanks!

PS: If I flash BTU ROM, do I have to reset before or after flashing o I can continue using it like I was with XSG?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] crossdeath:
Flashing official roms doesn't void warranty, nor does it trip knox. If you flash HOME_CSC, your device won't be wiped, if you flash the other CSC, your phone will be wiped.

Hello!

I have problem with may tv box, it is stuck on boot screen logo.

I tried to reset the box but it doesn't help.

I want stock firmware pls

best regards
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] Yeyrie:
Im not surewhere you can get the firmware but I had the same issue. Try booting to recovery and select wipe cache partition. That did the trick for me.

highly recommend this rom for this box, almost all of the bugs are fixed and its super fast!!!

a million thanks to the developer, he is a senior member here on xda, his name is magendanz.

Hello Friends,

I noticed as I was driving thru the Washington DC area yesterday that my 4G LTE signal briefly changed to 5G E and initially I was baffled because I didn't think the service rolled out just yet. May be a testing tower but nonetheless it was cool to see the signal change on the status bar. Since I was driving at highway speeds, I didn't get a chance to test the data speed but the capability is obviously there for the Note 9. Anyone else experience this in their area/region yet? Just curious to see how widespread the testing is! https://www.fiercewireless.com/5g/at-t-to-begin-upgrading-existing-lte-phones-to-5g-e

Actually no Samsung has hardware for 5G connections. Maybe galaxy S10 will have a model for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Maybe the "E" is for electronic? Since all the rumors point at hardware exclusive capability! So, my guess is that 5G will roll out even to the S9, but it won't be as fast as the S10 since it's in the hardware. That's just an assumption, though. On a side note, I really hope that carriers dont increase their prices with it, because I'll just have to stay on my 4G. T-mobile is blazing fast regardless.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Agreed! But they did this crap with 4G LTE as well. When you get an HSPA+ connection it will show 4G (sans LTE) but HSPA+ is not really 4G. Debateable, I know.

AT&T Petitioned the governing body and was allowed to sell standard GSM HSPA+ as 4G.

Blah! They do this crap all the time. Nothing new.

Edit: Oh, they talk about the 4G / LTE thing in the article.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
And that's why I left their garbage service. Been with T-mobile for the last 4 years and I've been very happy to be honest.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] mrnovanova:
At&t's 5G isn't actually 5G it's just branding for the non tech savvy folks. The same way 4G was actually 3.5G. Rule of thumb is, and that's an easy way to know if it's 5G. Run a speed test. If the speed is below 1Gbps it's not 5G. For example out here in Canada on LTE Advanced speeds are between 200 and 300 Mbps. That's NOT 5G.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Scott:
Yeah, thats what we were all saying before you. The linnked article even discussed the 3.5G that you are talking about.

That really agitated me. When I built ROM's I would usually have an option for the 4G indicator style.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] worldsoutro:
AT&T knows exactly what they're doing here. It's incredible shady business practice. I wish the FCC would step in and say knock it off.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bogdi1988:

5G E stands for 5G Evolution.

There's absolutely no way they'd be able to enable it on S9 as they lack the necessary hardware to support the technology.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] eskomo:
In case you didn't know, it's just 4g. Att has no 5g infrastructure in place at any towers in the US. They admit it's just fast 4g. Att isn't very fast anyways so this is actually a good thing, finally they have speeds over 20mbs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeremyvbk:
That is actually very false. These upgraded area with 5Ge are towers that are software upgradable to 5g. They also have had 5g already live in a few major cities running on 5g MM and 5g NR. All 5Ge is is an indicator to show people they are connected to sites that have been upgraded to support the 5g service when ATT does a software upgrade on said site.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
This has been talked about for about a month. As someone already posted its not 5G. At&t has already stated its just the icon that shows.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeremyvbk:
I actually dont mind it so much. I cant figure out the true triggers for it to show. I've had 4x CA with 256qam and 4x4mimo and it's still 4g LTE. Even in announced markets it's not showing. There is something That causes it to display.

Can you post the engineering screens with the CA status and bands when you see it next?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dcscorpio76:
I now have the 5G E signal at home. Apparently this is a new development as of a few days ago. I will admit that after many speed test, the data speeds appear to be slightly elevated. Although I'm positive this is nowhere near what true 5G will most likely be, I do believe that this is more like 4G LTE plus and the uptick in data speed is noticeable at least in my observance. I would usually get around 45 down at home. Anyone else starting to see the 5G E signal more often? I'm in the suburbs of a major metropolitan area so I'm not surprised to me seeing this more and more often. Thoughts?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sputnik767:
Yea, pretty sure you can't sue a company because of an incorrect signal logo. Just wondering, what would the basis be? What damage or harm came to you? Are you out any money? This would be tossed immediately, and you'd be out a court filing fee. Even if you think it's a deliberate lie, there is no harm done to you just by a 5G emblem coming up on your phone. Now, if ATT told you that they are giving you 5G when in reality they didn't, AND you ended up spending money (damage, or harm done to you) such as for example buying a device based on incorrect info, then you may have a case. And only to recover your losses. Sorry, but you can't sue just because something made you upset. File a complaint with the FCC if you think ATT is deliberately lying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jammol:
{This is based on old data cause I couldn't find any current scholarly (or even close to), data that goes in dept about the actual speeds.}

You didn't get a speed bump unfortunately. There's no 5E or 5GE or whatever AT&T wants to call it. There's is nothing they can do about it because you need 5G tech to run 5G speeds. Technically you could get hybrid speeds because LTE is supposed to cover up to 100mb, so I don't even know why they are even pushing the 5G thing away. The fastest recorded LTE data speed is what, New Zealand I think? But that was about 2-3 years ago. Remember when companies first came out with 4G? And then some of them started calling theirs' 4gLTE like a month later? Same thing they are doing here. AT&T is just the first to do the marketing. Technically, we don't even have full 4gLTE yet and they are talking about 5G.

Do random tests of your data connection, when you hit below 17mb download(rough estimate), if your phone still says you have LTE, it's possibly lying? Most carriers classify anything on their network that's 3mb+ to be LTE. What sucks is that there really isn't a clear definition of when "LTE" speeds starts. They just say "10 times faster than 3G." Well wtf does that mean? What's the spec speeds for 3G? Well it's "5 times faster than 2G."

Yeah...Ugh...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
since, they all caught cancer.

edit:

i think the proper wording might be develop...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] dcscorpio76:
Very well written. I agree with everything you said. I'm surely not confusing the uptick in speed to 5G, but I do understand there's a such thing as 4GLTE + but then again, it could all be falsehoods based on the questions you posed. Great way to bring be questioning to the table!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] jeremyvbk:
I think you mean 4g speeds not LTE speeds. LTE is just the technology used on the airwaves to the phones. LTE itself was meant to be more flexible and Give more bandwidth per MHZ.

Right now people call 5GE false advertisement, but no one cared about LTE when every carrier used 4g next to it, even when LTE never hit 4G speeds. They they need to do is drop the Number G and call it based on its technology. So LTE, LTE+, and NR/MMwave.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jammol:
Thank you for the correction. I wasn't meaning it like LTE is the speed but I should done a better job of explaining what I was trying to say.?

Edit: now this is funny.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
Better yet, after "upgrading" to 10G,take some screenshots & send 'em all over the place (Android Police/XDA/AnandTech/etc...),including AT&T's customer service,troll the Hell out of their chat service & AT&T forums........

To further f*** w/AT&T,tell 'em your getting the speeds on their Cricket MVNO,but,once you switch to an AT&T SIM,the speeds drop back down to "5G" ..................... :p

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] sputnik767:
Sprint is suing to protect their business. False advertisement can steal business from Sprint. You'd be suing because you weren't happy with the false icon. You would have not suffered any losses from seeing a 5G icon. Now, and like I said previously, if you acted on a false advertisement and switched carriers, bought a device, or anything else that had a material cost, you could recover your losses in court or more likely in the form of a class action lawsuit. The poster I responded to stated that he would have taken them to court if he had seen this 5G icon come up on his phone. And I said that it would not happen. Because you can't sue somebody just because they upset or offended you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] K-alz:
Putting a fake 5G is false advertising and any company can be sued for that. Apple has even been sued by a lady for their wallpaper that they put on their iPhone xs that hides the notch on their website. The case wouldn't be for being upset, it's for false advertising and ATT is false advertising. Imagine how many gullible people would fall for their fake 5G sign (if they haven't already fallen for it).

Actually smartphones are more complex than desktop pc and the trends such as Meizu Zero are begin to happen.... In the past we have had writeable system, now even the root is restricted. Until this I had always been using one click root tools, nowadays I need to spend often weeks to gain FULL administration rights to my devices (including but not limiting only to TA Backup, booting custom recovery to backup all partitions, flashing prepatched rom (along with kernel - the root of root), gapps, magisk, xposed). And it somehow hardbrick itself without reason (smartphone is working, but after one month it simply wont boot). These drms are so stupid, these companies should learn from Windows.

One of better brands: Google, Oneplus

More likely to be broken but easier to root: LG

Avoid these brands: Samsung, Verizon, Apple, Xiaomi (bad hardware I quess, but good performance)

Preferred type of rom: stock vanilla without bloatware, AOSP ones (not AOKP due to problems with ogyoutube).

!!!

The new trend by developers that occurs lately is freakin annoying, every Rom should come prerooted using universal method (magisk) and the rest should be hosted on github (clean Rom and super su Rom, Eventually tool like pfr creator). The rooting is harder than NASA microkernels oses really due to the varying versions.

!!!

BTW this is proposition by me of perfect microcomputer

[HTC U12+ Questions & Answers] Tachi91:
Make sure whatever OTG or SDCard is formatted in fat32 and doesn't have a UEFI partition. exFat is supported however a lot of times a GPT table is created which then makes a UEFI partition when formatting as exfat. That is read by the bootloader instead of the main partition that has the run zip (2Q55).

I'd suggest using Rufus on Windows to format your SDCard/OTG and selecting LEGACY/MBR and fat32.

On linux disk utility has the option for MBR when selecting to erase the entire disk. On Windows it's hit or miss since UEFI is normally hidden and when using the default formatting tool it'll just erase the main partition without changing the partition table back to MBR.

Regular RUU from HTC should've worked just fine

If you're using macos you'll have to use the terminal to create just one fat32 or exfat partition

[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] fubo73:
What do you mean? Call divert should be a network provider configuration: you could specify at which number you are available. In that case, in calls should be deviated, not out calls. So, if you're correct, all incoming calls to private number where deviated to business number? We' ll check.

Is there any options in Android settings? I do not remember so...

[EDIT]

THANKS! My colleague remembered that he previously had two phones (private and business) and that private one got broken. So, until he bought the A1, he forwarded incoming calls to business one. But he did not remember to clean up the settings!!! Thanks for hint [MENTION=6000438].:Addicted:.[/MENTION]
