[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] CZroe:
My Note9 replaced a phone where the OIS was going haywire so I can't get good pics from my old phone. I'll have to catch my brother when he's feeling more cooperative. ;)

Sure, it could be used without the screen protector but I'd honestly be scared to since the screen feels particularly exposed on a case this thin. The lip at the top and bottom keep the screen protector off of flat surfaces enough that you can slide a receipt or some thin paper back and forth when you leave it face down. It would have room for something thicker like an embossed business card if I took off the screen protector. Regardless, the lip alone isn't going to do much if it falls on uneven surfaces. I'd be terrified of gravel, asphalt, pebbles on the garage floor, a bunch of half-inch square floor tiles glued down with uneven heights, etc.

Regarding what I said about the Ocean Blue color match before, I was comparing it to the back glass but it actually looks spot-on with the metal frame and plastic S-Pen cap in certain lighting. Of course, the only parts of the frame you can still see while in this case are the small areas exposed along with the ports, speaker grill, etc. The back glass on this phone was always darker and the camera/biometric glass were even darker. Extending the lighter metal frame color across the back makes more contrast between the camera glass and frame colors through the back opening, which is why I called it a "far cry" from the original color before.

It's funny reading the Amazon reviews where people complain that the case did it's job by taking damage on behalf of their phone. XD I guess it is worth noting that the super-thin case itself is not going to be durable compared to most cases but I think that's expected and I do see reports where Spigen happily replaced drop-damaged parts. I expect I'll need that replacement glass eventually. Honestly, I'm more concerned with reports of the soft-touch layer quickly wearing off but that's mostly because the case just looks so good when new. I normally wouldn't care about cosmetic wear to a case for the same reason I wouldn't complain about it taking damage on behalf of my phone. I get that it isn't the most affordable case but, rather than switch to a less-attractive one, I think I'd happily buy another even if I dropped/broke it in a month. That's assuming it protected the phone and Spigen doesn't replace the case for free, of course (sounds like they will). ;)

I haven't handled any other Galaxy Notes since the note 3 but this feels like a fusion of the naked Note 2's thickness with the soft-touch of the note 3 without compromising the solid feel/angular frame of the Note9. No creaking or flexing or unsightly gaps. Feels like you are directly handling the body of a premium phone and not a case. Sure, the glass feel is gone and replaced with a soft touch like I wanted to do anyway with a leather skin + bumper, but it feels as solid as the naked glass and metal of the Note9... not at all like my creaky/flexy Gnote3.

My choice half a year ago ended up being a UAG case, the Monarch with 5 layer protection. Had a couple of attempts at finding a good bumper, but it wasn't easy.

I tried

- ArmadilloTek Vanguard Series

- OBLIQ Slim Meta

- cheapo cases from ebay, including a popular 'leather' flip case

- Spigen, several

- Rinke, several

- UAG TPU

None of them did it for me.

[IMG="cutouts bottom"]https://afluisterland.nl/img/cutoutsbottomt.jpg[/IMG]

bottom one is my current UAG.

What I like about UAG is that it's real easy to feel what the up and down and top and bottom are without having to look at the case. So whenever I grab it out of a/my pocket I immediately know where the finger needs to be, or where the screen will be. This speeds up handling of it quite a lot.

Anyone tried a case like this? Neat look. Not sure about protection, but comfort in the hand is more important to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories] ThePublisher:
I ended up returning this. Had a good look, but being Batman the pokey metal parts were pretty sharp. Got them caught on my jeans pocket multiple times taking it out, and stabbed my finger a time or two as well. Didn't make me bleed or anything, and maybe it would influence me to look at my phone less, but still. Build quality was nice and it came with a clearing carbon looking d-brand style back skin that while tricky to align properly, was a nice touch.
[HTC Vox] codectide:
Not sure if this the place to post this but I thought it would be my best chance. I've been looking for a hard rubber or silicone cover for the Vox but can't find one. I've found several leather and metal cases but I would really prefer the hard rubber or silicone style. Seidio.com has a style that I really like, unfortunately not for the Vox. Any suggestions or ideas would be appreciated.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] TodNex:
Freshly installed Pie.

There is alarm clock setup and two hours before there is icon in the notification area and random sounds (like new message received).

Also found out those random notification sounds even when there is no notification or if there is viber message notification - few random sounds will repeat after.

I did not face those issues previously when Pie was installed as upgrade on top of Oreo, but newly installed creates problem.

p.s. I'm still pissed off from Novatek bad display so I hope I can get rid of this device
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] khaludi:
+1 also got random notifications without there beeing one.
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] Rubens95:
I think it could be related to the option display ambient with the option turn on periodically
[Nokia 7 Plus Questions & Answers] TodNex:
[MENTION=6701715]Rubens95[/MENTION] - true.Amazing to put it in Display-Ambient-New notifications - repeat every 2 minutes.

Thanks.

Now one issue is left - random notifications without any even, but they are rare and not so annoying.

Cheers

It seems HMD Global finally found the killer app, but unfortunately it is killing other apps!

https://dontkillmyapp.com/nokia?1

Nokia on Android P kills any background process including sleep tracking (or any other sport tracking) after 20 minutes if the screen is off. Also when killed all alarms are stopped which renders for example any alarm clock apps useless.

This is not my work...

Found this from a AdroidPolice article

DontKillMyApp.com shames OEMs that needlessly kill useful background processes to save battery life

After killing this app, now Google Fit and all other notifications and alarms work again. Yeeeee!

That's bad reputation from their side. Disappointing.

But my issue was the 'Ambient Display' - anyway thanks for sharing.
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] Eric_cn:
Hi, guys.

How should I do for updating to pie? Only way to flash it? I flashed orange MCV 8.0, and it doesn't upgrade to pie. But I can download pie firmware from xperifirm. Why?
[Sony Xperia XZ1  Questions & Answers] lilbrat:
A little info on your part may help here, ie. the model of your phone or your location as the Android 9 (Pie) has very limited release for the single sim and the dual sim is only slightly better.. There are a few ways to flash firmware a) Sony Flashtool or b) Newsflasher c) Adb, search the XDA a bit there are some excellent guides on how to use both... ( homework time)

Also you may want to mention what OS you have on your computer as installing drivers for adb, fastboot ect. vary for each, windows 7 and 8 are pretty basic but on 10 you will need to disable the signature verification before you can install the drivers and Linux is a whole other thing.. so give us some info.. read a bit and get back to us.

You can have a look here ( https://xpericheck.com/device/G8341 ) and you can see if it has been released in you region yet if not then you won't be able to do it by Ota yet..

I still not got my OTA update :( Is it normal? Can I force it without formatting my device?

[Android Head-Units] gwaitsi:
I note a lot of new media boxes use the same chips like the HUs i.e. RK3368

For my older media boxes a got rid of android and replaced it with LibreElec instantly improving HD performance i.e. no more stuttering, running and startup speed, etc.

I am wondering if there was a similar project for HUs with VW canbus. This Android is a complete waste of time.

Removing my unit on the weekend and putting back the old WinCE because Android 8.0 is so bug riddled it is not usable.

Hi there,

With 3200mah and a 6.39 screen I was wondering how much SOT are you getting with the device?

Thanks a lot in advance.

[Xiaomi Mi Mix 3 Questions & Answers] invisiblewave:
Biggest difference for me over my last phone is not so much the screen on time, but the minimal drain with the screen off. After 30 minutes listening to the radio yesterday, it was still showing 100%. With my normal intermittent use of the screen, including the candy crush battery hog, I'll be down to around 50% by the end of the day without charging it.
[Xperia Z5 General] lozzyho:
Hi all,

I'm trying to get my wife's E6683 phone to work with WiFi calling on EE in the UK. The phone was bought third-party and has generic (non-EE) firmware on it.

I *think* i need to download and flash the EE firmware onto the phone for this to work, since there are no options for WiFi calling present on the current (vanilla) firmware.

So I have the following questions:

1. Do I need to flash EE firmware onto it, or is there another way?

2. Can I flash the EE firmware onto it *without* wiping the phone?

3. The only UK EE firmware available is for the single-sim E6653 variant. Various posts suggest this is ok to flash single-sim firmware onto the Dual SIM equivalent, but can anyone confirm? (I don't care if the Dual SIM aspect of the phone stops working)

4. Is it a risky process? I'm semi-familiar with ADB and I've flashed phones before, but I'm no expert. I found a guide on hardreset.info, but are there any better or more specific ones?

Many thanks for any help!

[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] Pr0Ankit:
Can anyone else also hear the rattling noise from camera when keeping the phone down or shaking the phone ?

When dialling someone who is on a carrier with high in call volume/high dial tone volume, I can hear the rattling of camera modules. It is much more when holding the phone to the right ear (camera side down), on the left ear (camera side up), the sound doesnt appear. The carriers which have low dial tone volume such as Jio doesnt have such issues.

Seems that the sound from receiver causes the camera modules to vibrate and make the rattling sound due to high dial tone volume. And because this is the phone with three vertically situated cameras, the sound is much more.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] dangkhoa02106:
Yes, I confirm about this noise.Because I use a TPU case cover for my phone, this noise can not be made by the button movement. This noise comes from the upper side of the phone
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] Pr0Ankit:
Do you have that noise also when there is loud sound comimg from earpiece ? Everytime when I hold my phone to right ear (camera side is down), I hear that sound and yeah this jiggly ball bearing sound thingy comes from the top of the phone. I checked my earpiece and it plays sound in very good quality. Also the buttons are not faulty because I held them tight and tried shaking the phone, the sound was still there.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] Belgarionbg:
[MENTION=6485408]Pr0Ankit[/MENTION] - no, sound doesn`t trigger any rattle, only when switching between cameras and if I knock on the phone near the cameras.

I`m too tired to write everything again, so I will copy my posts from gsmarena.

-------

Yes, there is a noise, rattle or whatever word you can use to describe it. It is probably the lens gyro system.

I missed the time to edit my previous post so I`ll write it in this one.

There is a noise/rattle/chattering if you knock the phone and it can be heard from within the cameras zone and I think I know why.

As I`m subscribed to jerryrigeverything on youtube I have seen many teardowns of phones which have gyro optical stabilization on their cameras. He usually give them a poke or two with his pincers to show how they move.

Now, what would happen if the gyro components are not tight enough. It will clatter/rattle, probably.

There comes the bit from my previous post: "Bear in mind that although the cameras are using electronic auto-focus for photographs we have gyro optical stabilization when video is recorded."

The sound can be heard if you switch from one to another camera too.

So in conclusion I think that the noise is coming from the gyro mechanism.

I`m very curious for the opinions of the people who bought A9 2018, I`m almost sure that they can hear that too because Samsung probably have used the same basic mechanism inside.

May be I should write to samsung support for this. But I`m not really sure that they will give me any details.

Thanks for the reply. I found out a topic very similar to mine.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/forums...e-speaker-rattle-during-calls-normal.html?amp
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] dangkhoa02106:
Nope, this noise only can be heard when I shake my phone or when I put it on a hard surface.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] Pr0Ankit:
It might be carrier dependent. For example when I call a person who is on a carrier with low in-call volume, the rattling noise is like negiligible, but when I call some people who are on a carrier with high in-call volume, the rattling sound can be heard. Also, the sound doesnt come up when I dial using whatsapp, skype or messenger because of low in-call volume in those apps.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] dangkhoa02106:
Maybe the housing of this phone is not perfect enough to hold all components tight, maybe. If there is a suddenly move of the phone or a high vibration of the speaker, some components will shaking inside and make this noise.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] Pr0Ankit:
Just noticed that the strange rattling soumd during phone calls was due to the volume up button. It is slightly loose. I dont know if it was like this since beginning or it happened due to usage of phone and idk if its worth to take it to service provider because they might tighten up the buttons but it might become loose again with constant pressing.

Can you remove the cover from your phone and check if your buttons are normal or if they make a noise too when there are vibrations (sound) coming from earpiece ? Please try to dial anyone, with highest in-call volume , do not test the receiver using samsung tool or any other tool because they play soft sound and hence doesnt cause enough vibrations for the volume up button to rattle.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] Pr0Ankit:
It might be possible that due to cold temperature the frame would have contracted because the enclosure is actually Polycarbonate and not metal (Polycarbonate expand and contract much more than metal frames), (thermal expansion and contraction), which have left very tiny gap in the enclosure of button hence making a gap to allow the buttons to vibrate or make rattling noise? Ordered a slim armour case from amazon.. hopefully that should suppress the issue atleast until temperature rises back to normal in my region.
[Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) Questions & Answers] Pr0Ankit:
Just visited a Samsung Service Center. Their words were "Sorry Sir but that is not an issue. I know that the button which is directly infront of the movable camera causes this noise. You might be wondering how I know this, there were 5 or 6 more people who came up to us with same issue on same model. We had opened their phones and noticed that the button which is directly infront of the movable camera (volume up button) causes this noise when phone is shaken or if it vibrates due to sound from receiver. (Without a cover). There is nothing to worry about. Please use a case if it bothers you too much but we cant do much about the design of this model and we cannot open the device because its not faulty."

We may have different approaches, and different standards and practices for official LineageOS trees, but I fully respect the work of Asim.
