[LG G8 Real Life Review] DrivenKeys:
Mine is very accurate, moreso than my S8, whose screen recieved amazing reviews across the board. After reading customer reports, I've come to believe the S8 screens had consistency problems in manufacturing, and some screens looked much worse than others. Considering my G8 screen looks awesome, but some others say otherwise, I wonder if LG has similar inconsistencies?

It could also be perception. For years now, I've been using monitors that are proven accurate, and have always found Samsung/Apple phone color profiles to alter saturation and tone toward a pleasant 'wow' instead of actual, measurable color accuracy.

Plus, I've read somewhere that LG and Samsung are both suppliers for Apple phone displays. Keeping that in mind, I'm willing to bet that the differences we see now are more due to tuning than panel manufacturer, and we're now dealing with critiques based on personal preference, much like headphones. Just speculation, but it certainly seemed that way as I sampled different phones in the stores.

The LG G8 has a crazy crisp display. Just kidding, this is automated text so who knows if this screen is any good. So, you be the judge! A higher rating indicates that it's extremely sharp and clear, and that you cannot see pixels with your naked eye.

Sounds is clear

As far as I can tell, so far the sound is clear from both the receiver and the microphone.
[LG G8 Real Life Review] Psyclopps:
Supports VoLTE and WiFi calling on Tmo
[LG G8 Real Life Review] DrivenKeys:
The earpiece is pretty great, pressing the glass to the ear helps transfer the vibration. It's more clear than other phones, with a touch less bass to the voices.

Calls are nice and clear on both ends. The improved reception really helps call quality in my room.

apples to oranges my friend your comparing two totally different wifi bands. turn off 5ghz on the phone or router and it will be comparable or better
[LG G8 Real Life Review] sebaxx3:
Its doesn't matter. Both frequencies have same poor signal strength
[LG G8 Real Life Review] jpnh:
I've only had it for two days so not terribly long. Have a 1gbs connection routed to a Ubiquity mesh network at home with a Unifi switch and PFsense router. No changes since the screen on my V30 glitched out two days ago with the network.

The reception I've noticed on both wifi in and outdoors and calls in the house (using TMO towers not wifi) has been demonstrably less than the V30 it replaced. Used to receive four bars for wifi outside and three bars for calling inside. Now it's two bars w/wifi out and one to nothing inside. I was actuallyy standing nfive feet from my Unifi AP Pro last night and only had two to three wifi bars appearing at 2.4ghz instead of 5ghz which I would normally get. No case on the phone yet and it's stock. Just my 2¢. Otherwise so far so good and I'm enjoying it. :good: Hope that helps!
[LG G8 Real Life Review] dmkozak:
The poor comments about the G8 wifi and telephone reception is what scares me away from the G8. I don't care about any of the other "negatives". But if the G8 can't handle the basics as well as the S10, then the rest of its positives don't make any difference. Is the G8 better or worse than the S10 at wifi and telephone reception? Thanks.

I'm with T-Mobile, just switched up from a galaxy s8, and have experienced somewhat stronger reception overall. I live in the country, and my bedroom is in a weak spot where the s8 couldn't maintain call quality. The G8 is significantly stronger and clearer in this spot, and all around the area. Very happy!

[LG G8 Real Life Review] Arcanen:
MUCH louder as a speakerphone when placed flat on a surface (particularly one that conducts sound well) than when held in the hand. I think the speakerphone is about the same as other phones when held in the hand, but is much louder than any other phone I've ever heard when placed flat on a proper surface.

I flashed the TekHD rom, let the rom boot, and then tried to boot into recovery from the set up/welcome screen. Instead of booting into recovery, the phone screen is black with small red letters saying "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed"

I cant boot into recovery or the rom. I only get that message.

Help please.

Am able to access download mode. Gotta flash stock with ODin.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
You must have forgot to flash the RMM fix. You either have to flash the RMM disabler or flash a custom Kernel that disables it that way before the first reboot after flashing TWRP. It's a new safety feature Samsung has introduced that locks the device after anything gets flashed or modified. Unfortunately, your only option is to re-odin stock files and then wait 7 days again for OEM unlock to appear.

After you get TWRP flashed again, mke sure you flash the fix or a custom Kernel.

How do you boot to download mode I been trying but I can't, what buttons you press?

sorry to dig this thread up again... but i have the "only official binaries..." Problem too.. but my problem is that i cant get into Download mode no matter what i do.. as soon as i either press "power" or a combination of keys and even "vol down + bixby + connect cable to pc" wont work.. it only gets me this message... i even extended my research and opened my note 9 and unplugged the batery then replugged and retried.. no matter what i do i dont get into download mode :rolleyes::crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
just continue to hold em... be patient.

also leave the cord plugged in
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BioHaZaRD_ch:
wont work anyway.. and i can tell you why :silly: the f***ing cable was defective.... it only charged the phone but made no connection to the PC.. yesterday it worked well.. i really feel pretty dumb now.. it is mandatory to have a data-transfer cable connected and not only a charger cable.. cause that wont work... but now i got the software back on it :laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
yes because data needs to be sent to your phone...major facepalm moment...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BioHaZaRD_ch:
indeed.. but anyway .. my question is why would that happen to me.. i was using the RomAur 4.0 CSA7 for pretty long now.. just flashed the new TGP kernel on it to test how it will do.. (its CSB3) .. it worked fine but after 2 reboots it kicked me in the face ... i couldnt unlock my phone anymore.. ore merely when i entered the pin the screen went black again.. then i tried to reflash the Kernel wich i was using all the time (Endurance Kernel for PIE) and then the "only official..." message came up .. is it possible that the CSB3 Kernel kicked my butt with the newest safety patch?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
i think i have red that rmm is patched on tgp and with endurance kernel so thers no reason...

i could be wrong

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
looking at the logs, not only should all 4 .md5 be flashed as stated previously, but odin version should be latest 3.13.1 and be sure you are not trying to put older firmware revision than what the device's bootloader is on. and it cant hurt to check if cable is good and android device drivers installed too.

Good day! Please help. I have the situation when i am try to flash twrp on samsung s8 sm-g950fd. I have next massage appear in the downloading mode: " Only original binaries can be flashed". OEM unlock switch on - everithing ok. System Andorid 9.0. I am try to flash twrp in downloading mode, in the same time when i am start to flash, i am hold on the button on/off, volume up and bixby, but the phone not switch off., and this msg appear .Please help.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BereanPK:
Quick question - are you guys trying to flash "official"/stock ROMs, or root-able ROMs?

My AT&T Note 9 for some reason would never do OTA's, so I had to find the stock (but it was for VZW, so I was informed to not flash the CSC), but of course flashing the others did a full wipe/reset. Problem still exists where I know AT&T put out security updates since, and I have one from TMB ready to flash, but I'm wondering if you guys were trying to flash latest stocks or custom ROMs, if you're having the "official binaries" error, if I'd get the same thing if I just try to flash the latest security update files.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BereanPK:
I'm in the USA. Please remind me: if I want to flash the ROM but don't want to wipe all my settings, which file am I omitting from ODIN flashing?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
all except for CSC slot use home_csc.md5

csc.md5 is the one wipes clean. so dont use it unless that's what you want.

also note that if you want to have the very latest firmware and get faster downlaod speeds, you might consider using samfirm tool v0.3.6 . just search for it on xda. if it dosent downlaod dirmware, check the log output in the apps working directory for its dependencies on windows.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BereanPK:
THANKS! That's what I thought - just wanted someone else to confirm before I drive myself nuts.

I'm going to give back-flashing (if that's even a word) in a couple of days - I'm on-call tonight & tomorrow night so will need the phone available to ring at all times - and then hopefully the OTA will wake up & say, "hey you're on Oreo - you need Pie."
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
ure still on oreo? wow.

this thread and especially this post seems to keep tabs on ATT updates.

so keep an eye on it for future updates or help:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79813885&postcount=197

if i were you id flash the ATT file provided to be on latest instead of flashing the older firmware you currently seem to intend to use. the file hosting used is also much faster. so it won't take long to redownload. always check md5 checksum after.

i just rechecked past discusion and to get out of tour jam with ota, consider really flashing csc.md5.

starting fresh might fix ure issue. also post a screen shot of ure system/phone info/software SW

as per the screenshot

on an other note were cluttering up the thread. so I'd suggest to post on the ATT latest pie firmware thread i suggested or open a new thread if you still have issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BereanPK:
No, when I was on 8.1.0, for whatever reason, the OTA would never work... I saw months of security updates & finally the big Pie update (CSAA if I recall correctly) come out, but my phone would never OTA them... so finally I got ticked wanted to flash it directly. Flashed the Pie update, but since then, the security updates haven't OTA'd. So I'm wondering if I should just go back & make sure CSAA flashed properly then wait & see if OTA will come alive.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
ok.

but post that screen shot. im curious to check something

( do a scroll screenshot so we see everything if possible)

also you do realize there are people that would litteraly kill to be in tour position( not get ota prompts)...lol

if you have any insght on the slightest thing you might have done to get this, [MENTION=3615255]IT_Architect[/MENTION] would love to know or at least try and analyze what happened.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BereanPK:
OK, hopefully the screen shots will come through. I'm on CSD1 because someone told me that the updates are cumulative (I'm wondering if that was wrong or not). I never actually did flash CSAA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
ok i was just wondering if your csc matched:

ATT/ATT/ATT

if it didnt then that might of been the issue.

anyways i dunno man i hope you figure it out.

I hope you resolved I tried everything. I still can not enter onto download mode
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] bober10113:
you have to turn off phone . either let battery die and charge it for 10 mins without turning it on. then follow guides on how to get to dl mode.( of course if cable is chit dont use chit cables)

OR

be very very very quick...

force device to reboot:

vol down + power

the second when you feel it shutdown then switch as fast as you can to vol down + Bixby and plug usb cable from computer.

ask help from a 2nd person.

timing is essential.
