[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oswald Boelcke:
I've never used an i9300 but still use an i9305. Just by your description and the screenshots, my initial assumption is that your battery is dying or nearly dead. I doubt there's still a production line open for i9300/9305 batteries but even a new (mature) original Samsung battery might revive your device.

SOT is clearly pretty personally driven and not only depends on the used applications but also settings, network connections etc. and thus difficult to assess from anybody else but the user. However, you might want to consider to take a BetterBatteryStats (BBS) "idle dump" and to post that in the BBS thread.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magdisaeed:
I have already purchased a new battery and this stats using new battery.
[Shift General] pitt1983:
how install ubuntu on a usbpen without remove entire mbr on shift (without put out the hdd)

on my g1s i've detached hdd and installed, everything goes well.

but on the shift how make that. don't want to umount shift.

also, theres no driver for any version of linux that make work touchscreen?

and for vista ultimate, there is an .exe file to make htc hid pen work?

thx in advance for any suggestion.
[Shift General] danielherrero:
Copy the content of the CD to a pen and installing it from vista. The installer gives you the posibility to create or not a new partition and the mbr will belong to vista, if you want
[Shift General] pitt1983:
sorry but i want make ubuntu bootable from pen and not on the shift. don't want to loose recovery partition. when i tried on a desktop pc installing on a pen installation formatted all partitions and mbr. on my laptop it tryed to format all partitions. but i've interrupted it and detached hdd.
[Shift General] pof:
You can use wubi-installer to install ubuntu on HDD without partitioning and without loosing the recovery partition, it is 100% safe.

If you still want to run it from a USB pendrive, see http://www.pendrivelinux.com/

To get WLAN, 3G and suspend/resume working on ubuntu see my blog:

http://pof.eslack.org/blog/category/htc-shift/

Regarding the touchscreen, I've been working on it and finally today I have managed to write a small kernel module which is able to get raw data from the touchscreen, but it is still far from being usable. I will be working on this for the next few days, so hopefully soon we'll have a working touchscreen driver available :D
[Shift General] pitt1983:
nice man, you are a real genius. already followed the guide for pendrivelinux.

but my doubt is. if i try to install ubuntu on the pendrive and execute ubuntu from the pen i've the risk to eliminate my vista?

i'm not able to dump my shift rom and i don't want to loose it if something goes wrong!!
[Shift General] pof:
no risk as long as you don't touch the partitions on the HD. The recovery partition is at the end of the disk (last 3GiB of unused space), you should never touch that, and you'll be able to recover always.

The problem people has when installing ubuntu, is that they choose "automatic partitioning" and this takes the biggest unused space found on the HD which really is the recovery partition. If you want to install on the HD, you should create your partitions "Manually" and dont' use the last 3GiB of the HD, that's it.
[Shift General] pitt1983:
thx man! i will try this night. but you know.. if i make a disaster you must teach me step by step how to to recover my recovery partition.

ehehe

My Moto X Style(XT1572 ASIA),after successful flash of oreo 8.1 LOS, the imei is now showing '0'.. i tried myself to work it out but failed..

At an unauthorized service centre they told that the EFS Partition got corrupted and they need another of the same device for repairing.. Please help me with this.. Can somebody send me a twrp backup of EFS partition for XT1572 ..

Thank you.. :angel:

[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Contact an AUTHORIZED service center and get your device fixed. No one here is likely to send their EFS partition to you as that partition contains the donor device's IMEI.

EDIT: Before getting a hold of an authorized service center, find a copy of the stock ROM and install it. That may fix your issue.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] here is johnny:
Hello there!

Been a long time since I have taken a look on the forums, been a while away from samsung phones, but I still get attracted to the note 9

Read and heard some good and bad things about the note and coming from Oneplus (i have the 5) I was wondering if people would still buy the note with the knowledge you have now after using it for a couple of months..

Now with pie and the the new Samsung one ui i get even more tempted to make a switch back to Samsung..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] megatooth:
Now with pie, yes in this context it is worth to buy. I have two, geez!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Cristiano Matos:
Note 9 is the best overall by far. So much functionality and features inside a premium device. I used 2 pixel 3, one normal and other XL, and despite the camera, I couldn't see nothing better than Note.

I'm a heavy camera user. Stock camera is great and now with Gcam working on it nothing beats this device.

In my opinion, Samsung software is the most complete at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] GigaSPX:
Absolutely the Note 9 is worth it. Everything runs perfectly and pair it together with the Night Sight Gcam, there's almost no reason to look at other phones on the current market.

Best phone I've ever owned! LOVE the S Pen functionality and I have had no issues at all. Not rooted and easily get 7 hrs odd SoT, all round brilliant device. I have the exynos version.

Hands down a great Phone! EXynos!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7436581:
I'd buy it in a heartbeat today (Exynos). But that's coming form a traditional Note user. Been on this series since my Note 1 on AT&T.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
Awesome Smartphone, Samsung truly has given us tons of features with this smartphone! i still got tons more to learn! Some people are saying the Huawei Mate 20 Pro is in some ways better!

i dont know if i could agree, there Amoled display are good. But not as Good as the Samsung AMOLED.. Also battery easily 7 hours on screen time and that's without root.. Huawei Mate 20 Pro they use really aggressive battery management tweaks witch leads to bugs!

The note 9 camera rocks. We had G-Cam working but the PIE ONE UI killed that. i'm sure some dev will find a way around to get it working again..

if you are after an really powerfull smartphone then NOTE9 is the way to go! if you wont gimmicks and stuff get the Huawei Mate 20 Pro!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] worldsoutro:
At this point I'd save up for the Note 10. Pie should be better optimized with the hardware since its being built ground up with pie.

Rumor(hasnt been confirmed but based on "leaks"):

Bigger screen

Bigger Battery

Three cameras

Near bezel-less design.

faster charging solution
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jimd1050:
...and probably $1800.00 based on the S10 Reports... ugh!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] worldsoutro:
I saw that and I just don't believe it. Samsung know the markets had changed and sales haven't been as good. I expect around 1k with some decent trade ins to boot.

---------- Post added at 06:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:23 PM ----------

Not saying 1k+ is not too much because it is! Flagship prices are out of control.

Funny that where the O6T is priced is what flagships used to cost.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] DeVilio:
Now? I would wait for S10 to be shown to know direction of Note10 changes. Every year when S series is presented, you have glimpse about Note series design and functions, yes? So this year will be no different, and i would count on price drop of Note9, but yes - i would buy it again i think. Someone mentioned about prices - it`s getting pretty high, year after year so note9 was very expensive at start, and Note10? I can`t imagine price tag of this one. $1999 for best option (probably 10-12 gigs of ram and 1TB of space?) - nevertheless, note9 is enough for few years, maybe note 12 will be one i will look for, or note 13?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] OberstGrausam:
Would I buy it again? Probably yes, if the price is right. But the exynos version is imho still way behind the snapdragon version, sadly. This was thoroughly tested by anandtech for the S9+ and later confirmed for the Note 9. It's a pain in the ass to see that Samsung includes two different SOCs in their products which, this time around, provide a different user experience. The story apparently continues with the S10 and most likely the Note 10 respectively with the exynos version being the inferior version of the two, in terms of efficiency and LTE performance.

All that aside, the Note 9 is easily the best phone I've ever owned with a great and most complete set of features. If you can live with the SOC issue, the high cost and the huge dimensions of the device, you will be fine. It's a great device. Eventhough I personally don't like the PIE update apart from the gesture navigation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] high_voltage:
Only if you can get the snapdragon version. Not only it's superior for gaming, battery life, smoothness, multitasking, emulation and app loading/transitioning - but the one UI on the exynos note 9 is less smooth than even oreo, really disappointed on that one. Phone priced at 1000 euro with UI smoothness of midrange phone + they f up the multitasking on android 9 and made it like google's implementation... slow to use, not convenient to use, less features... :(

---------- Post added at 02:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:52 PM ----------

This with both hands, snapdragon 955 will make a joke of the exynos 9820 the same way sd845 makes a joke of the exynos 9810. Also I clearly see lags in the animations in android 9, more so vs the oreo (that is actually proven to be A LOT smoother with the snapdragon SOC!!!). I am so disappointed from that SOC and the funny part is that we in Europe PAID MORE, 1000 euro is 1140 us dollars currently. SOC is like buying the most expensive computer both me and you, but I receive the best possible cpu, gpu, ssd, etc while you receive midrange cpu, gpu, ssd, motherboard and so on. There is no excuse and really important for the longevity of the phone and the experience with it... wish we had the apple's A12 in the note 9 tbh, but that's another topic (sadly I dislike a lot about apple to buy an iphone just because of the great SOC). We already see a problem with longevity (and don't me even get started on the gaming part as there is absurd difference + yes, I game on my phone), I am sure the snapdragon will be a lot smoother on the new android and UI.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] OberstGrausam:
[MENTION=4126040]high_voltage[/MENTION] , I agree. It's a bit of a let down that everyone despite the american users only get the second best version of the Note 9. It wouldn't be a big issue for me if Samsung in europe also provides warranty for the snapdragon variant. Sadly thats not the case and thus you are either stuck with the exynos version or you risk to get snapdragon version which might, as every phone might, develop some issues over time. In addition, Samsung makes it harder to use different phones in different regions due to their region lock.

As of now, the new snapdragon seems to be superior again but I guess we have to wait and see how it'll turn out. It wasn't always the case though, the S8 exynos version was superior to the snapdragon one based on what've read. Sadly, the One UI really fells inferior to the "old" Samsung UX, but it might get more polished over time. I still think that Samsung is able to pull it off since it has done so with the S9s when they were introduced.

So yeah, I'd buy the Note 9 again because I love the features and the SPen, eventhough I hate to be forced to spend more money on only the second best option available.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] high_voltage:
Some of the things in the one UI are great and polished, but not everything and that sad, as it's literally "samsung rushed the update" type of comment shaping while they had so much time for development and beta testing...

For the exynos vs snapdragon it was like that:

s6 exynos was vastly superior to the flawed snapdragon 810 nicknamed "the oven"

s7 exynos was superior in the CPU part to the snapdragon 820 - better battery life, better CPU, less heat, better DAC (i.e. better audio via headphones), but had weaker GPU (but by not that much!). Overall better SOC!

s8 exynos was same as speed in CPU as the snapdragon 835, but less heat and longer battery life. The DAC was also better. The GPU was noticeable slower tho even in that generation. It was no clear winner, for gaming - sd variant, otherwise the exynos.

s9 exynos is where all fall apart - CPU is a lot slower in real world (and all benches except geekbench too, mind you), the GPU is roflmao slower, the DAC in the new snapdragon 845 is vastly improved and similar to the wolfson/lucky in the exynos, battery life on the snapdragon is better WHILE being faster. The only part where the exynos is still better is that in heavy loads the phone is colder and... that's all. This year the difference was absurdly big to the point that every single review before launch was snapdragon variant as samsung send ONLY those to the popular reviewers. ;)

Sadly, and I am talking as a "tech heavy" person that is really into electronics as a hobby and professionally - the new exynos 9820 will still lag behind even by samsungs own projections. Read a lot, it will be worse in every department vs the snapdragon 855 and both will be vastly behind the apple's A12, more competing with the iphone X A11. Sad story, really... this samsung practice should be more exposed so they can stop it. Every person on that forum that had both variants infront of him said the same thing: "I came prepared for a difference into this, but didn't expect it to be that big!" then returned the exynos while keeping the snapdragon 845 one. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jameslapc2:
Without hesitation I absolutely love my Note 9(Snapdragon). It's battery is nearly on the level of my V20 with an extended battery. With the Pie beta so far the device is on a level of its own. If you have the opportunity just buy it.

Please help me, somehow your version encrypted my phone.... What is password?
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] Glower:
Thank you so much!

Just to give you feedback, here is what I did (and what happened):

- Reverted back to stock with RUU

- Applied OTA, security patch 2018 11 01

- Flashed according twrp

At first boot encryption occurred again and in security options I could read 'phone encrypted'; still I could enter recovery and normally see data. No request to decrypt, data perfectly accessible and I've been able to flash magisk from internal storage. This was all I needed. Yet, out of curiosity, I tried to wipe data to decrypt the phone. TWRP read something like 'unable to wipe data, you should reboot recovery to access data again'. And then data were gone. No mount, no access.

Once selected reboot to recovery, the phone rebooted system instead. This time there has been no encrypting message, but the phone was wiped. And again, reading in security options, it was encrypted. Going back to recovery I had exactly the same situation as before wiping data: I could see them and normally flash zip.

Even with this weird behaviour, so far I'm satisfied with the result, so again thank you very much!
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] sabpprook:
Okay, seems it works in a right way, I will post it to U11+ TWRP released page.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] drtopjoe:
How can I get my phone decrypted? Why was it encrypted?
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] sabpprook:
You must flash the TWRP recovery which security level is the same as your current android system, otherwise you will get phone encrypted after reboot to android system or TWRP's data decrypting do not work.
[HTC U11+ Questions & Answers] drtopjoe:
TWRP says decrypted successfull with default password. In twrp I can see all my apps, but when reboot I cannot see.

Ehat version of twrp Shoul I use? Or which security patch should I flash?

Is this the case to all devices with similar hardware or is a issue with the Rom programming that makes this use of the same band?

I have the same similar problem...

When I use my mi band 3 ( Bluetooth watch )

The internet speed is very slow
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] spannerwindalayer:
So, i tried testing the speeds and i found that it's random the type of problem that i got.

In my case im using Apple's Airpods gen 1

- most of the time i have slow or non working wifi connection (tested with youtube and twitch apps) and videos will only load at 144p (at this point is better to not use bluetooth or not watch the video)

- other times videos will not even load

- sometimes the Bluetooth earbuds will start to connect and disconnected continuously and the only way to fix this is turning off Bluetooth and reconnecting again to Bluetooth

- sometimes all problems are fixed in that way but also internet connection becomes a bit sluggish and phone heats up

- sometimes when no audio is playing for a certain time earbuds reconnect but this is maybe a battery saving method in the earbuds themselves

- its literally impossible to watch videos with Bluetooth connected and via wifi if you have a thin wall between you and the router, i live in a small house and being in any room except the one with the router will render video playback impossible.

I think this is more than a wifi - Bluetooth band issue and more of a software issue the more i test this issues

Is there a way or can someone contact Xiaomi to fix this issue? I really feel that this have gone worse since PIE update...
[Xiaomi Mi A1 Questions & Answers] sintronics:
I beginning to think that the problem is the phone hardware, for what I have seen mi A1 uses the same antenna to Bluetooth/ WiFi/ Data

I also haven't tripped my Knox or rooted my device but I have manually installed the Android Pie Beta. I know the Official Pie Update is out for the SM-G965F version but I'm not sure about any other.
