[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MatTechGuy:
Hey!

Got a Note 9 last week and day after receiving it i noticed when holding the note 9 and pressing on screen in certain areas (near sides/corners/centre) it would make a popping noise, sounds like adhesive behind the screen not adhering properly or something like that. I got Samsung to replace with a brand new one and same thing with this one, it happens whether phone is on or off, it's definitely not rite as you can hear it very clearly, feels like some flex going on in screen when it happens as i can feel the screen kind of dip slightly when it makes the noise, but ok when it does not make the noise.

Curious to see if anyone else have had the same issue? gutted as loved it for the short while i had it but sending second one back now for refund as worried something will happen with screen further down the road and Samsung may not cover it. I know of at least 3 others who had this issue when buying same time as me.

Cheers.

Do you have a tempered glass installed?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MatTechGuy:
sorry should have said, no tempered glass or any screen protector applied.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] nusaf:
have no problem with that.

only have that popping sound when using tempered glass before. changed to plastic screen protector and no sound anymore
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MatTechGuy:
ah ok thanks for replying, must have just been very unlucky. Cheers. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MeggaMortY:
Hey thanks for sharing that. This is the first link I got searching for this, I have it happen to mine note 9 too. It's such a bummer since I had it for only three days and will have to setup a new one from scratch if they have to replace it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] t3project:
are you sure the s-pen isnt vibrating when you tap it on that side? remove the s-pen and tap it. i bet it goes away
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Wow. No issues like that. I've had three Note 9s and all three have been perfect. I'd definitely return for a replacement. Weak or loose glue could seriously affect the water resistance, since it depends on a water tight seal between the screen and the frame. I'd never recommend using your phone in water anyway, but I at least like the assurance that if my phone takes an accidental dip. There's a good chance it will survive.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MatTechGuy:
Yep real shame, my replacement was the same to, it's on way back, getting a refund, not worth risking something going wrong with the screen later down the road, i mean manufacturers do anything to not accept responsibility specially when it comes to screens. First one started on second day, it was great for the first day, replacement was doing it from the moment i took it out of packaging and holding it, it was worse than the first one.

It happened to me when turned off with no s-pen in, no screen protector, no case.

agreed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MeggaMortY:
After studying the noise a bit more, it is definitely an issue with the glue. It will not happen all the time I press the screen, but it happens more often when the phone is a bit warm to the touch (e.g. charging the battery). Also, it appears to be along the side where the battery resides - I wouldn't worry about the battery itself, it just makes sense that the glue will get loose where it heats up more often (in my case, I don't stress the phone all that often for the other side where the SoC is to play a role). Anyways I'll be returning it tomorrow once the shops here in Berlin open 'cause now it's christmas break.

One extra thing that might be interesting, the back-side also has some sort of a glass-separation issue, at least it looks like that. Notice the circular smudge around and right of the DUOS label - I tried cleaning it but it comes back, I think the glass is separated at that point too, but just a tiny bit. I've had the phone for four days and haven't dropped/hit/scratched it AFAIK.

I'm hoping to get a better one after a refund, mind sharing if you happen to live in Germany as well? I'm wondering if it's a bad batch or something.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MatTechGuy:
i agree with you, seems to be adhesive/glue issue, it did not happen all the time for me either but as you mention it, i noticed it more after recharging (when phone gets warm) so think you nailed the issue on the head to be honest.

I noticed it around the sides (edges) and the centre of screen, second one was even worse much more noticeable and was happening straight away after taking it out of box.

Something i noticed but never mentioned as wasn't sure but second one was the same, maybe it's normal but don't think it is, on the curved corners of the screen it appeared to me the screen looked slightly lifted not flush with the frame but only on corners.

I live in the UK btw. I was thinking a bad batch but seeing Samsung had a good deal on with cashback and discount i imagine they sold allot between the time i arranged to send mine back to getting the replacement which was a week so i imagine they would have been separate batches although i could be wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MeggaMortY:
Cool, thanks for the info. It's too dark in the winter days so it's hard to say if the glass is a bit off on the corners, but nevertheless, I will write back when I (hopefully) get a replacement one.

One last thing - you did speak directly with Samsung support? Did you buy it from their store or you just didn't want to bother with the store you bought it from?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MatTechGuy:
I bought it directly from the Samsung online uk store. There was a discount direct from Samsung for students/people who work in certain industries so it could be bought for £699 (£200 off), but also they were offering £150 cashback bringing total down to £549, plus cashback by going via a cashback website meant i would have had it for around £504, also they were doing trade in so people could get even more off up to another £150.00 bring cost down to £399, then people got the samsung game deal thingy, don't play games myself but people can get a Fornite theme by downloading Fornite playing 3 games then you get the free theme, kids going bonkers for the theme, people selling the theme upto £100. So people could have the phone at a bargain price.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MeggaMortY:
So I got a replacement, and just as you said, the display had the same popping sound out of the box. It happens like once a day, but since there is really no substitute for this device right now (stylus + good DAC, besides all the other great features), I'll keep using it and if it gets worse contact Samsung down the line for warranty/replacement. Decided to leave this as information if some other person happens to have the same problem in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MatTechGuy:
feel for you, such a shame and disappointing to happen a second time, it's a great phone, i did not want to risk it so sent second one back too. Fingers crossed you won't have any issues. Mine was happening regularly so like you say just keep an eye on it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] K-alz:
I don't have that issue even with the tampered glass on my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
i actually noticed it a few times.. like last night it was doimg it. sort of right above where the keyboard is in portrait mode..

it seems to happen when its really cold outside for me.. its not enough for me to have it replaced thankfuly
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mstrmind5:
I can replicate this when I clean my screen with a microfibre cloth. It happens on pretty much all of the screen. I believe I can also see some light streaks in the screen when this happens. The popping sound happens regardless of the temperature of the phone. Will have to inspect it more to see if I can spot any other issues with the screen. I got mine in the UK just over a week ago. Apart from that I think the phone has been great so far. Not sure whether to replace it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MatTechGuy:
glad i sent mine back now to be honest, personally i would send back, as you say everything else is great apart from the screen popping sound. The worry for me is the screen might cause issues further down the road, screens are the biggest issue with mobile phones and manufacturers are quick to blame user and deny warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] mtweisenbarger777:
My Unlocked US Note 9 does it too. Mine mainly does it on the right side near the middle. It's not enough for me to warrant sending it back; it still works fine and I don't see any screen issues when pressing on the screen. Also I bought mine used so I'm guessing the screen was replaced. If it gets worse, I guess I'll fix it then.

[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] shubham412302:
Do you have previous missed call or message notification at that time.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] divvykev:
I had this and the issue with me was down to ambient display believe it or not.

If you look in Display ->Advanced -> Ambient Display -> New notifications. This is set to periodically so will carry on reminding you until you open it. If you change it to once only then it may sort it.

Here it is finally: the officially xda-thread for my unofficial J5-2016 builds.

They have been already used for 6 weeks or so.

I currently compile a (untested for j5xnlte) TWRP, that can be used together with this ROM. On my FN (2015) it can decrypt the device (if it is encrypted of course) and it has experimental functionality to work with mixed external storage by @Captain_Throwback[/STRIKE [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION] (https://gerrit.omnirom.org/32036).

EDIT:

I erroneously gave the credits to [MENTION=1162986]Captain_Throwback[/MENTION] who"just" cherry-picked the patch by [MENTION=2605798]nkk71[/MENTION], who is no longer with us, but should get the credits for this, of course.

I should have seen that and apologize for this error.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Guides, News, & Discussion] xandreasx:
Hi guys, in this video i show you the new 960fps slow motion feature on the Xiaomi Mi 8.

I'm using the Global Developer 8.11.29

Officially the Xiaomi Mi 8 supports up to 240fps but with the new updates we have the possibility to record at 960fps.

With this modality we can record about 5 seconds and the first seconds of the final clip will be played at normal speed and the final seconds will be played in slow motion.

The video quality is 1080p. So i was very excited...at the beginning.

But as i suspected... the video aren't in 960fps, but everything is slowed down by software.

So probably it's a 240fps fps slowmotion and then we have a digital editing that applies a kind of plugin, as the famous Twixtor and Optical Flow for computers.

So at the end the result is ugly too see and you need perfect conditions to achieve a good effect.
