[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidbadboy:
Can You tell me also:

Thanks, what is PDA and CSC,

how to know when was the last sec patch?

and for example for S7E that has Oreo + Samsung exp. is it possible to goo all the way back to original 6.0.1 cause I've heard that it may not be possible due to the fact that Android 6 has bootloader version 1 in Odin and since Nougat it has different version and if that happens you supposudly cant roll back bootloaders on samsung stocks

?

Everywhere I see I keep finding references to Outlook when I want to edit contacts through my computer instead of through my PPC (it's a seriously painful job at times... ><).

I have no interest in buying the entire damned Outlook/Office suite for this little thing, and OpenOffice covers everything I need otherwise. Does this exist?
[General Topics] TheChampJT:
Outlook is an awesome app period. I got '07 version (only one on shelves) for about $70. Not to mention it will also be your main point for calender, tasks, notes, contacts, and if you want mail (kind of pointless if you have the unlimited data plan) Or just find a contact manager app for your PPC that you like, you don't have to purchase the entire office suite.
[General Topics] Morghus:
I'm still not keen on getting Outlook. Costly, unnecessary since I have everything I need in other programs or services. All I need is a way to manage contacts like I can do in Outlook (through Activesync), and that's what I'm looking for, but can't find.

Does it exist?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] saletan:
I bought note9 exynos variant so about week ago and have noticed that when I'm playing audio with lot of mid range I hear distortion quite clearly from the bottom speaker even without eq or dolby enabled, is this a defect or is it how akg/samsung designed it to sound like?

In song like Indestructable by aaro only thing I first hear is distortion and crackling from high to mid high volumes. earpiece seems to play without distortion.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] joedellosso69:
What is it? An mp3 (or other format) saved in your phone (or SD card) or from someware alse like from sporty or internet? Because if you saved it, maybe the volume of the file is registered to much high so, with a pc (or app that dose it) you can change the level to about 2 or 3 dB on peaks (first or second red lamp on the old dB meters ) to eliminate distorsions. These types of distorsions may come even at low volumes of the phone (or what ever it might should be playing it) because the song's volume is to high.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ibTfv0CwC0A this is one that distorts quite badly even though beginning is very quite sound wise
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
What volume setting is the note 9 on ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] saletan:
On that particular song's beginning even at little over half volume when I put my ear close to bottom speaker I can hear crackling, but on full volume crackling at beginning is very obnoxious and its not even that loud. Eq is flat and dolby atmos is off.

Bass full drum plays without problems but its some mid frequencies that easily triggers that distortion or crackling
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
I'll test it later and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
I have atmos off and also my EQ is set at normal.

I listened to it up to 1.36s mark and couldn't hear any crackling as such. But perhaps some hissing, was observing bottom speaker only. Volume was set at 70%.View attachment 4702595View attachment 4702596
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] saletan:
Oh so is this note9 speaker unit defective? It doesn't sound like normal distortion or so it sound like speaker hits something or so, in some songs like that quite clearly. In some I don't hear any but that because they don't have that kind of frequency lot.

Or it sounds a speaker that's underpowered.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Dont know. Try blowing the area out and also slightly press the area and see if the noise stops.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] saletan:
Actually now that I turned on the mono audio mode I can hear that on earpiece speaker too.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] CrazyTom2K2:
Hi there!

I've suffered from the same issue on my Note9. I sent it in for repair, and it came back with the same issue again. I have a feeling it might be a software issue, or a board issue. Either way, I've found that I can configure the equalizer and Dolby Atmos to mostly mitigate the issue. My Dolby Atmos setting is fixed on Music mode, and I have a curve on the equalizer, with the 250Hz and 500Hz frequencies at the the 0dB line (although there is a slight amount of wiggle-room for these) and I have my 63Hz and 16KHz maxed, with the other sliders forming a "U-curve"

Hope this helps you,

Tom :)

I am trying to restore my stock firmware, but am resorting to JOdin as I am on a MAC. The buttons are sightly different to the instructions I have been given (see attachment);

Which firmware files do I put in which field??? The files I have are;

then comment out line 225

.method private static setWifiCountryCodeFromMcc(Landroid/content/Context;I)V

in one thread it is suggested to change .locals 3 to .locals 13, but this is a useless change as it simply increases the number of variables the can be used and is not related to the "local" of the rom.

I tried it, and it doesn't work for me, can you provide more details, like your device model?

I'm looking for the WiFi region fix, not 5ghz fix, is this the same for you?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali6944:
Yes, we're both looking to solve the same problem, from my understanding of the module thread, it sets your wifi code based on your device language, mine was US English, when i installed the module through magisk the last line of the output was (your wifi country code is set to US), the rebooted and it was working fine.

you might want to mess around with your device language and give it a try

i'm using a D6503 btw
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ticktock666:
From what I was told by someone who understands code better than myself, this module modifies the /system/vendor/bcmdhd.cal and sets the ccode inside it from the ROM local, for example I was using great Britain English, so it was at to GB, but it didn't work. I've tried changing the code manually, but nothing I tried worked for now.

Someone in the extended aosp thread also reported the issue being fixed without using anything, so I'm downloading it to test, as I've been testing using the carbon ROM beta.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ali6944:
Interesting, I'm back on CR oreo now and I wanted to check if it works on it so I can finally uninstall xposed, but it did not, i still remember booting AOSP Ex without magisk while flashing it for the first time after finding out about the module and having no wifi till after I flashed it. Let me know what you find!
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcogiannetta:
I wrote that script, but to be honest I didn't test it for every language.

Are you sure the module did output "Your ccode has been set to GB" ?

AFAIK Great Britain should be UK, not GB.

You could try to edit bcmdhd.cal manually and set CODE="UK" , save and reboot.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ticktock666:
Yes the output was GB, and I checked the file too, it wasn't UK.

Somehow this issue is fixed in the latest aosp extended build, so I'm hoping the Dev will share his fix with us, and then maybe we'll be able to come up with a universal fix method that can be applied to any ROM.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxine76:
I tried that magisk module on android pie cr7 (Xperia z3) and it changed the ccode to US, It didn't work for me (My phone language is English (United state)). You said that this issue was fixed on a custom ROM that you Installed. Can you upload your bcmdhd.cal file (in \system\vendor\firmware folder) to see the difference between yours and mine? maybe we can figured it out what causes this issue.

Tnx
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ticktock666:
I saw your post in the aosp ex thread, but I'll share what info I have with you:

The region setting is something Google is doing even if the device has no SIM card in it, just getting the "emergency calls only" signal is enough to break WiFi.

I was getting help from [MENTION=3403060]Darkoni[/MENTION]zer who builds and maintains the pie carbon ROM, and the best results we could get was this, you'll need to switch airplane mode on, enable WiFi, then switch airplane mode off. You'll have to do this every time you turn your WiFi off, it's not ideal, but you don't have to set the entire ROM region to US.
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maxine76:
Thanks. I know that method but it's kinda annoying to do that every time when wifi is turned off. I decided if the contributer of cr7.0 doesn't decompile that framework.jar , I'll do that by myself.

The easiest way i found for modifying the file is using Putty, you can get it from here: https://puttytray.goeswhere.com/download/putty.exe

Search around on how to setup putty for ADB, Connect your phone in ADB mode, now in the putty terminal type in:

adb root

adb remount

adb shell

nano /system/vendor/firmware/bcmdhd.cal

nano is a text editor that lets you modify and save files, so now you'll be looking at the contents of bcmdhd.cal, go for the line "ccode", the value in front of it is your wifi country code; change it to whatever you like (US, UK, etc) and ctrl + S to save then just reboot, now i tried every code i could find to no avail, in the end i just left the value empty, but then something weird happened, basically now i can get working wifi by doing the following:

Airplane mode On

reboot

Wifi on, wait for it to connect to your network

Airplane mode off

Wifi off

Airplane mode on

Wifi on, wait for it to connect

Airplane mode off

So previously, disconnecting from wifi meant i had to reboot in airplane mode everytime, now however the phone detects and connects to networks the same way it did in AEX Pie, albeit with the same drawbacks (can't connect to networks with hidden SSID's, 5ghz probably doesn't work). i'm not sure whether modifying bcmdhd.cal did anything at all, you might want to check before modifying, also not sure about whether setting the ccode value to empty did anything or if i could've just set it to US.

anyway, if it does work for you, you'll have to do the whole on-off-on-off thing once every reboot, but it still beats rebooting every time you walk out of range of a network.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] i_stein:
I purchased a Samsung S9+ while working in the Philippines and then returned to the US where I hope to use this S9+ with Verizon. After speaking with Verizon and checking the IMEI through their website, I've been informed that my phone will only work on T-Mobile and AT&T.

My S9+ is model SM-G965F/DS with CSC XTC and CSC country Philippines (PH).

I'm an IT professional so I'm confident that I can flash the firmware, but what firmware do I flash to and will flashing the firmware resolve this issue? I've researched numerous options, but I still don't have confidence that flashing the firmware is going to solve this issue.

Any suggestions would be appreciated...!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Ibuprophen:
The SM-G965U (Verizon) uses the CDMA bands and the SM-G965F/DS (Europe/Global) uses the GSM bands.

The following is a comparison of the 2...

https://www.phonemore.com/compare/p...ds-vs-samsung-galaxy-s9-plus-sm-g965u/7552459

In the US, the only Carriers that use the GSM bands are T-Mobile and AT&T.

The only thing is that, if you had got it working on the Verizon towers, you would loose the ability to connect to 3G/4G LTE because Verizon uses the CDMA bands that your device is unable to use since it's only GSM capable.

I hope that I had explained this okay via text... :thumbup:
