owwwwkkayyy. its like installing an app to launch an app or setting that is native to the device. a 5th wheel of some sort. also apps that have access to your vpn settings or can create a vpn is always a possible threat or danger.

Anyone use Disconnect Pro? I experiment all the time, it works well since it works on Knox. Was expensive, but again, just another option.

Thanks for share, will try adguard
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] monkeyass408:
thanks works great. using it right now on the note 8. Guess i have no use for blokada app anymore

i wonder if the adguard tracks you though? must be since nothing comes free...

this actually might push me to just get a USA model note 10+... i really wanted system wide ad block and this is on 24/7 without the hassle of 3rd party apps. I missed not being able to root on the note 8 and using adaway.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] bober10113:
in 2019 nothing dosen't track you. also blokada is free so you can just imagine what it also maybe reporting back home. plus its installed on your device and you have to grant it rights. where as a private dns queries server names and depending of the query, parts will be blocked. data isisnt actually being processed/routed to their servers like a vpn would. judging from the sheer explosion of the amount to free vpn apps, id be very concerned in what they actualy do with your data. as they have 100% access to it since its all routed to their server and then encrypted. you've basically given them the keys to the mansion ... they can data mine at will. plus the difference between an active VPN connection that you manually add in your device and an app that is installed on your device AND creates a VPN is that is has access to the phone AND the data exchanged on the network aswell. be aware and be very afraid.

Hi, I own a s9+ which I bought on ebay. I bought it for 201 dollars with a broken screen, i think it worth the price for me. I want to buy a product like the one in the image, which includes the loka glue. Can I use loka on a broken screen, affect the AMOLED screen or cause some damage?

What do you think, is it convenient to use it?

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] kiapolo:
I've read if people having much success using uv glue screen protectors with cracked glass screens. I think you're problem will be that the "full coverage" uv glue protectors may not concert the area of your screen that's cracked.

Can't hurt to try.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] babyboy3265:
I think thats a great purchase for 201 dollars. And I am 90% sure that if you fill the hole with the glue and then cure it with the UV light, that will fix a decent amount of it.

So if you first fill the cracks, then dry them with UV for a few minutes. Then install the glass on now mostly repaired screen.

And if you do so, please provide photos of the process and after..
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] pjcolita:
Damn I bought that same screen protecror for just $1 and still using it as of now.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Accessories] Dwillian:
It might work to apply a tempered glass screen protector with full glue loca (liquid optically clear adhesive) over a broken screen. The potential problem may be getting the loca to disperse properly. This relies on capillary action to disperse the loca. A crack in the phones screen could potentially disrupt this process.

You can buy tempered glass screen protector kits (screen protector, loca, & uv light) for about $6-$13 on Ali Express. That's cheap enough that I would give it a try. Her's a link to the screen protector that I have used and recommend highly: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32858887498.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.76d54c4dcEJg2A

You may have the best luck if you can get a single drop/line of loca to completely cover the crack before applying the screen protector. It would need to be a single oval shaped line of loca or you will likely end up with bubbles.

Dell desktop PC. A couple weeks ago I replaced my Acer desktop PC with a new Dell desktop PC. Previously when I would plug my S8 into my computer with a USB cable, Galaxy S8 and it's icon would automatically show up in the left hand menu of my File Explorer. When I would click on that menu entry, my phone would come up in the main window of File Explorer and I could navigate to my pictures for viewing, downloading, etc. After replacing my desktop, it still works as before, to a point. As before, Galaxy S8 and it's icon automatically show up in the left hand menu of my File Explorer when the USB cable is plugged in. However, now when I click on that menu entry, the only thing that come up is 'This folder is empty.' Apparently I've messed something up. Any suggestions, ideas, comments any wish to offer about what I've messed up and more importantly, how to correct my mess will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, K.

I don't want to get into a life story so I'll just say I've been gone for awhile. Back then this phone couldn't be rooted. I just have a couple questions. Please forgive me because I'm aware most can likely be found in other threads but hopefully I can get a quicker more condensed and direct answer.

So we can root now it seems? Is there a "best" method and can we unlock the bootloader without issues?

There seem to be roms available. Any recommended? Are there custom kernels available?

Any known issues I should be concerned about?

I appreciate any answers :good: If you want to give me some flack for asking here instead of searching all over - that's fine (though unhelpful).

Hi there i was just wondering how could i view web pages full like regular pcs on htc 8925 not mobile pages.
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] VicPereira:
I have this beautiful and powerful phone LeEco Pro 3 that i`ve been using for half an year or so with AOSIP ROM. Its a wonderful phone with an amazing performance.

The thing is my display started a problem history that has become a long history i will try to resume in a few words.

It started in one day i pressed the power button in order to light the display on and check something in an APP i needed. I found out that before the display lighted on some weird colors and artifacts appeared on screen. But indeed the display worked fine.I thought it was just a temporary thing and just kept using it until In the second day that the weird colors and artifacts became permanent, so i realized i was in trouble. :crying:

Tried sending the phone to technical assistance.

The first one - Told me that they could get a new display for testing but indeed the results were the same and they were seeing oxidation in the display connector on the board, not the display flex cable but the main board connection. They said they would not go further into it and they decided to give the phone back to me. Weird thing is that when i turned the phone one it worked for one day without issues. He said the phone was in the same condition, but that is not what i saw. The problem indeed happened again one day later , but it was less worse as i could at least see the screen, but almost half the screen was horribly shaking, trembling.

The second one - Once the tech guy looked the phone he said he didnt see any sign of the phone getting opened. He said he would be seeing signs of glues or anything like that but in his opinion it was definitely not opened. But he warned me the display could physically brake once he opens it as the phone got contact with oxidation in the toilet(I used to left it in the toiled while i take bath). So i was afraid and decided to back off.

The third one - Said he could not find any display so he sent the phone back to me. Didnt open it at all as he was trying to wait for the new display to arrive in order to be safe. They said they are 90% sure its display replacement would do the job. The thing is - if i used in hot environments the issues seems to slowly disappear . If i use it in cold environments the problems seems to get worse :confused::confused:

So here i am. I CAN buy another screen over the internet. But i am afraid if it will work or not. Have anyone there faced same issue? What do you recommend me to do? What would you do

Thanks in advance

There are many many post on this subject, recently in fact. That has links. In fact, you can find them on Alibaba that are all black and made specifically for the Le Pro 3. Here is a link of a guy who used the cool s1 display

Yes it sounds like the display or the flex cables.

Here you go cheap and they have the black one
[LeEco Le Pro3 Questions & Answers] VicPereira:
Thank you!

So i can go on and buy another display . Would you do it without worrying?

In the country i live in the display costs 189. The phone costs 900 or 1000.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] marcgear:
Hi guys

Just a quick one. Got a strange issue with the screen on my note 8 and just seeing if anyone has had the same issue or any idea on a fix.

Last week updated to the 9.0 beta and all seemed to be going well with no notable issues just a bit of lag here and there. However last night I turned my phone off and when I came to turn it back on this morning it started to boot as normal I entered my password successfully and it started to boot. As soon as the password registered and the unlocking pad lock appears it quickly shifts to the bottom right hand corner instead of the centre as normal. The phone continues to boot and from then on the screen just goes black and is unresponsive. The handset is on cause people can still ring, notifications still get received and all the hardware buttons make noise as if they are working. The screen will just not turn on. If I try doing a soft reboot with the power and volume down I can start the phone and the Samsung logo comes up as normal and the pin screen as normal but as soon as I enter my pin the same issue happens. If I hold the power button on its own to turn off the phone the multi menu (reboot, power off, emergency) all briefly appear but are enlarged and sitting on the right of the screen.

Any ideas guys, cheers.

Try reinstalling Oreo back onto it. It could be an issue with the Beta Version of Pie that you installed on your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] winol:
The beta software is intended for this very purpose, you found a problem, then you report it to the releaser to be fixed, the creators of the software are the ones that will evaluate and improve the software, you see, it did not work for you, just try to reinstall it, if the issue persists, provide feedback to samsung, and flash a stable firmware

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] imjuz4you:
It happened to me too. I installed over my existing UAE firmware with Indian one then the one ui update. After reboot got the same blank screen issue. I then did a factory reset and everything is back to normal for the last couple of days with improved battery life probably due to the reason that many region specific Samsung app like Samsung pay doesn't work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] marcgear:
So had a bit more of a play when I got chance and I managed to resolve the issue. Still being hit with the same problems for some reason I tried unlocking the phone again but sideways (don't ask not sure why) and the screen unlocked. From then on phone worked completely normal until next reboot. Same thing every time until I hold phone on its side and unlock with the fingerprint reader.

I've since reverted back to 8.0 and sent feedback over. I'm gonna try testing again weekend see if I have same luck.

Cheers for the replies guys, hope anyone else has this issue the comes across this.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] NeedAMonitor:
So, I have an unlocked galaxy S7 that I'm trying to activate with verizon. How do I go about doing this?

I read online that it is not possible because verizon will show it as incompatible and I wont be able to get a sim card from them, but others are saying that it is possible.

I'm also reading many ways to do so. Whats the newest and best firmware version?

Some say to use Verizon firmware, while others say to use U firmware?

The model that I have is Samsung SM-G891A and I read to get the firmware that I want to flash to, from THIS site but this site does not list my model at all. Would there be any issues flashing on my model?

Last but not least, the guides state to use Odin to do the flashing, but I'm on a mac. Any experiences with Jodin? That can be read about here
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discus] Declanick:
sammobile gets 'tricky' searching for the correct firmware. I had many many issues and discovered oddd things that helped me find the samsung firmware I needed on that site.

If i were to type galaxy in the firmware search box. a bucket load of models would appear on the drop down menu.

If i continued to type and added "s7" the model list would still show 20 different variants or more.

if i added edge to that search menu. so it would now read " galaxy s7 edge "

the drop down list would should a-z variants, except of course the variant i needed E.G. verizon variant.

If i clicked the search button ( which you must click as the enter button is non-responsive )

many times the firmware search box would auto fill with the wrong variant.

pressing the back button and attempting to search for the Verizon variant would show no results. if i simply changed the search from galaxy s7 edge(S935A) to galaxy s7 edge(s935V).

Was very frustrating.

My solution, since i knew they HAD to have a Verizon variant.. search on google for the EXACT stock firmware I was needing.

E.G. G935VVRU4BQK4 and then change the country code on the drop down menu to the code i required. then proceeded to download... or try to download because usually it would log me out and force me to reenter my login credentials. then upon researching and getting ack to the download page it would log me out again. So then I fixed that by using Internet explorer and copying and pasting the URL from chrome into the I.E. browser after logging into the website and would be able to download the firmware I required.

hope this info helps you.

AT&T now testing rumored Galaxy S6 Active (SM-G891A) upgrade

The day before yesterday, we reported that an unidentified Samsung smartphone carrying the model number SM-G891A was imported into India for testing. Unfortunately, no documentation accompanied the handset from South Korea, but seeing as the Galaxy S6 Active sports the model number SM-G890A, we came to the conclusion that this unnamed device was the Galaxy S6 Active (2016).

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ledvedder:
Hi everyone,

I'm rooted. I flashed the Beta 3 rom and TWRP. Then, I rebooted into TWRP and flashed Magisk v18. Now, my phone spins on the boot animation screen for about a minute, then reboots into TWRP. Any ideas what I should do? I've tried wiping cache, but still the same issues.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] PapaMag:
Same happened to me a few days ago and had to reflash full rom. PC still recognized device so I placed os on root of device and flashed. Unfortunately it wiped the device but at least it worked.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ledvedder:
So you had to wipe everything?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] _Masked_:
I don't recommend updating that way. For me I flashed a patched boot.img from TWRP and it worked.

No problem, happy to help. By patched boot.img I mean the boot.img that was patched by Magisk.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ledvedder:
Where can I get that boot.img file?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] _Masked_:
The stock boot.img file is extracted from OOS and the patched boot.img is after you patch it via Magisk.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] ledvedder:
How do I extract it?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] _Masked_:
Use this if you're on OOS 9.0.5/9.0.6/9.0.7, but if you are on a higher OOS then you need to grab your stock boot.img for 9.0.10 from here and 9.0.11 from here, and patch it yourself using the instructions below.

Connect your phone to your PC using the OnePlus Cable

Reboot to Bootloader using "adb reboot bootloader" on PC while your phone is in TWRP

Rename stock boot .img file to boot.img on PC

Use "fastboot boot boot.img" on PC while your phone is in Fastboot Mode / Bootloader

Follow this guide once you are done with the above steps to root your phone with Magisk and actually boot.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] h8Aramex:
I am in the same situation.

1) Got the phone. Unlocked with out-of-the-box firmware. Put TWRP on it, Magisk. All worked like a dream.

2) Time passed, I tried to play Fortnite a bit, which kicked me out due to root. Had to use Magisk Canary. Still, NO issues, all superb!

3) New firmware. The December one. Kept postponing it, but after like 2 weeks, I was like, meh, why not. Big mistake.

From this point on, I cannot root no matter what I try. As soon as I flash Magisk, it will keep booting back to TWRP.

I have even tried to grab the Canary ZIP to flash. Nothing. Tried flashing back the full base update file from OnePlus, then root. Nothing.

It's like an endless loop.

To be fair, I only use root / magisk because I need call recording. Sadly, it's been killed in Android 9, but OnePlus has a hidden feature for this. Unfortunately you have to use either ADB on each boot, or use Magisk to enable it and save you time, hassle.

Anyone has any idea, shoot.

This is a 100% unbranded, OnePlus-store-bought 8GB/128GB 6T model.

Ps.: IF you ever get stuck in this loop - you can boot your phone by using the original "boot.img".

You can grab it here:

https://xdaforums.com/oneplus-6t/development/recovery-unofficial-twrp-touch-recovery-t3861482

To boot it, simply:

1) Enter Bootloader where you can use fastboot (NOT TWRP!).

2) Use `fastboot boot boot.img`

3) Your phone now will boot up.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] _Masked_:
Try this.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] _Masked_:
Plug your phone into your PC

Use this command in TWRP's Terminal and type this:

Copy it from your phone to your PC (in the directory your command prompt is in) and use the command:

fastboot boot boot.img
