Didn't notice it at first, but realized I had a small ~1/16th diameter dimple in my screen. Never seen this before. You can barely feel it but its there. Doesn't affect display at all and only noticed in the right light on an angle. Straight on it looks fine. I've decided to keep it since display isn't affected, but others might me a little more anal about this sort of thing. Is this a one off anomaly or is there a QC issue? Check your screens!

S10e G-970F (exynos), ordered from never-msrp on ebay.

Oh man, that would be a deal breaker for me. I could never unsee that. Is there a screen protector on it that might be the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Deleted member 7436581:
Oh, hell no. Sorry. I know the E dosen't cost as much as the 10 or 10+ plus it's still a great amount of money. I can let this pass on a USED unit, not new. More power to ya, though.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
Bummer! Hopefully it's just the screen protector...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tel864:
Like galaxys said, it could easily be the screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chronzy:
False alarm- screen protector flaw. I'm sorry guys I completely forgot it came with one from factory. Took it off, dimple gone. I'm relieved, but regret posting, I don't want to spread bad info about this phone, especially since everyone's already knocking the exynos variant.

Mods if we can delete that'd be great.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] galaxys:
Glad its sorted! Your thread could help others with similar questions....

The phone's great and got it for a good price. I say go for it.

I have TMobile and have VoLTE and WiFi calling working as well. Signal strength every bit as good as my unlocked Pixel 3 in this area (currently Salt Lake City).

And yet, do you know that the screen protector on the S10 line has a 3-month warranty ? I read this a few days ago. You may or may not want to do something about it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] DoKaTSuYa:
Hi,

How is the camera integration with the Apps like Snapchat, Instagram or Google Duo. Does the experience/quality really better? Like IPhone?

''because Samsung also announced that it’s going to opening up its camera’s SDK so third party developers can start creating apps that draw on the camera’s full range of features''

https://www.trustedreviews.com/news/what-is-s10-instagram-mode-3662728

Is the feature already available? I'm lazy about Android because apps implementation with camera used to be really bad...
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] DoKaTSuYa:
No one has the device yet ?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7436581:
The Instagram integration into the stock camera app is part of one of the first updates pushed to all S10 phones, from what I recall. I just hope it's an optional setting and not something that greets me every time I fire up the camera app.

From the source :good:

Good News for those who have waited, according to t-Mobile news

""Following the T-Mobile Galaxy S9 and S9+ getting Android Pie a couple of weeks ago, it’s now the Galaxy Note 9’s turn to get a piece of Pie.

T-Mobile has updated its Galaxy Note 9 support page to show that the Android 9.0 Pie update will begin rolling out today, March 1st. The update is version N960U1UEU1CSB3 and is 1671.6MB in size.

In addition to Android 9.0 Pie, Galaxy Note 9 customers can expect Samsung’s new One UI user interface. It includes an updated look that moves interactive elements toward the bottom of the screen so they’re easier to reach, which should be especially useful on the Note 9 and its 6.4-inch screen. Samsung has added a night mode to its One UI as well.

Also included in this update is a new e911 call flow, says T-Mobile, along with a compass calibration fix and a BYOD update.

T-Mo does say on its Note 9 support page that the update “will not be available to all customers right away”, so it may take a few days to make its way to your phone. If you’d like, you can manually check for the update by going into Settings > Software update > Download updates manually. Be sure to let us know when your T-Mobile Galaxy Note 9 gets its Android Pie update!""
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] microbespecialty:
Does anyone know what the "BOYD update" means?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rsfinsrq:
"BYOD" Bring your own device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] microbespecialty:
Sorry. I should be more specific. I know what BYOD means. The question I am trying to ask is what exactly does this update do with regards to "BYOD update"?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rsfinsrq:
Hopefully this will answer your question;

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] JOSHSKORN:
I was already updating just under 3 hours ago. I dislike the location of the time clock, how they moved it to the left side. I hope there's a fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] microbespecialty:
Oh bummer. So this means there will be the pink T Mobile start up screen and all that? That's what happened when I brought a Verizon S8 over to The Mobile. Replacing Verizon's red start up screen with T Mobile's is not a huge deal, but I'd rather not get it on my unlocked Note 9.

Guess I'll have to see when the Pie update rolls out to unlocked Note 9s.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rsfinsrq:
I believe you will get the T-Mobile boot screen and a couple T-Mobile bloat apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
The BYOD features such as carrier boot screen only applies to the carrier branded models. The unlocked U1 models will remain unbranded when switching carriers.

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:52 AM ----------

Sweet. Been trying to explain this to people. Didn't think to look for an official Samsung document!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] rsfinsrq:
I have seen reports that the update will apply carrier specific apps and boot screen based on the sim card you have inserted at the time of updating.

See this thread;

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/n960usqu1csaa-official-ota-update-pie-t3895831
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Only on the carrier branded models. It will NOT apply a carrier boot screen to the unbranded models. They have a different build number.

The T-Mobile document listed the wrong build number for their release. T-Mobile pushed N960USQU1CSB3.

The unlocked, unbranded U1 model will get N960U1UEU1CSB3 (most likely).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gary02468:
Meanwhile, can N960USQU1CSB3 be flashed to the N960U1?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Yes it can. Use Patched ODIN and flash the full firmware file. Just realize you will get carrier bloat such as the carrier boot screen and preloaded apps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gary02468:
Great, thanks! And if I do flash N960USQU1CSB3 to my SM-N960U1, can I keep my apps, data, and settings (similar to an OTA update) if I use CSC_HOME?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
Most likely, but back up everything just in case. I recommend back up with Samsung Cloud and Smart Switch.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gary02468:
Flashing my unlocked SM-N960U1 to N960USQU1CSB3 went smoothly and the new firmware shows up as Official in the Settings|Status. All my data and apps were preserved, just like an OTA update.

However, if I try now to check manually for OTA updates, then after it says "Checking for updates..." for a few seconds, instead of then telling me I'm up-to-date, it says "Your current software version isn't supported. Visit a service center."

Does that mean I'm not going to get the next OTA update? And if so, is there any way to fix it? (My model number is now listed as SM-N960U, and service provider SW ver is TMB/TMB/XAA.)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
I'm on T-Mobile and mine just says I'm up to date. Not sure why it would say your software version isn't supported. You may need to factory reset since you went from U1 to U firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gary02468:
Oh well. I was hoping to avoid that. What if I flash the CSC_OMC instead of HOME_CSC? I've read that for TMO, CSC_OMC won't cause a factory reset. Do you think it might fix the update problem?

Alternatively, if I wait for the unlocked version of CSB3 and then flash that, would that return my device to being able to receive future unlocked OTAs?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mr. Orange 645:
You can try CSC_OMC. It used to cause a factory reset, but I've also heard it doesn't anymore.

If you go back to the U1 firmware when Samsung released Pie, then it should put you back on OTA path, but again you may need to factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gary02468:
If I try CSC_OMC now, would I flash that by itself (having already flashed the other components), or would I reflash everything over again? And would I still omit USERDATA?

Update 1: I did flash CSC_OMC by itself now, and it didn't wipe my apps or data, but it also didn't fix the OTA-check problem.

Update 2: I did a factory reset. Now the software update properly says up-to-date.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] FuMMoD:
Updated via the OTA feature and now my phone is completely bricked. Any thoughts? I can't really back anything up seeing as the phone isn't rooted obv lol.
[Framaroot] OfficiantOne:
I've been all over trying to find a root that'll help delete these preinstalled apps with viruses on this darn Android phone. They all say root failed Not Supported. I don't need to root for major installs, I need it to delete these apps, that's all. The phone's an unbranded model: A9 (2018), CPU: MTK6592 Octa core, Android 8.1, Kernal version 3.10.72, RAM 4G & ROM 64G. Also if I can't personally root this phone do you think I can take it to a pro and have them to do it. Someone, please help.
[Framaroot] Lusty Rugnuts:
Well, you'll have to get the correct files (scatter file, TWRP installer, etc.), but try this procedure:

https://xdaforums.com/general/help/help-rooting-unlocking-bootloader-t3812910/post79358295

Don't use the files for the Blu Life One X3, each phone has its own files, and using the wrong ones will brick your phone.

But I've found that (for the Blu Life One X3, with a Mediatek MT6753 chipset) just as the phone shuts down, it drops all security, allowing one to push TWRP to the phone as bootloader. That's your 'in' to getting the thing rooted, even if your bootloader can't be unlocked.
[Framaroot] ParzivalWolfram:
Wow. That is probably the dumbest root method i've ever seen. xD
[Framaroot] Lusty Rugnuts:
How, exactly, is it dumb? It works. My phone is rooted, and the bootloader cannot be unlocked.
[Framaroot] ParzivalWolfram:
Dumb as in "wow, i can't believe the manufactuers left in this glaring hole", not dumb as in "wow this is dumb you suck nerd." My bad.
[Framaroot] Lusty Rugnuts:
Ah, I see.

It's a good thing that MTK's chipset has this vulnerability... and I don't think MTK can quash it without a major revamp of their chipset architecture, which they likely wouldn't undertake just to stop a few folks rooting their devices.

What surprises me is that the entire Android industry hasn't embraced rooting. There are ways nowadays to ensure the phone isn't stolen (fingerprints, PINs, etc), so why they continue to fight it is beyond me... there's more innovation on the rooting and FOSS side than on the 'lock it down' side. Innovation and openness is what drives users to use the phones in the first place. If we wanted a 'walled garden' user experience, we'd go with Apple... with the understanding that Apple knows everything about us, and with the hope that Apple doesn't go Google-evil.

I'll go with a known-evil company that I can lock out rather than a company that may someday go evil (or may be evil, but no one knows they are), but which cannot be locked out even the slightest bit.

This is a release for my ROM porting kitchen. It ports both XIP's and SYS folders [currently for the herald/atlas/wing and Wizard only].

http://www.darthnet40.com/xda/ivanmmj/Kitchens/

It is compatible with Bepe's extended kitchen, but I don't believe he ever released one for the Wizard. It requires a ROM folder with an extracted XIP folder within it. Just download the Herald's and you'll see what I mean. Hopefully someone will make something like it for your devices. The Wizard part is untested, as I no longer have a wizard.

Normally, I'd say:

Place bepe's kitchen in the Working_Folder (so that OEM/SYS/ROM and other folders are right within Working_Folder.) Alternatively, you can place also place all the files into EasyBakeOven's folder. Allow the Working_Folder to override EasyBakeOven's Working_Folder. You will not loose any data.

Place the SYS file you wish to port into Working_Folder (and delete your old SYS folder.) Place your xip.bin that you wish to port into the Prepare folder.

Obligatory Warning Label:

Use this at your own RISK. I cannot be held liable for any damage caused to your device by your own mistakes or by my mistakes in the instructions.

Hi, I've been trying to get the lapdock to work with the S10+ as I had previously read it worked very well with Note 9, through research I assumed it would also work, after plugging it in and trying it out, I just can't get it to display the actual DEX desktop, it detects the keyboard, it charges the phone, I can even get a screenshot of the desktop but the display itself just wont show up. So I feel like I am missing something, I already tried switching cables.

Images of what happens when I plug in phone, and then there is a screenshot of the dex, but the lapdock itself remains black.

Somehow it isn't giving picture properly as it shows HDMI connected then Disconnected and then that I should plug it in properly, it is really annoying, I don't know if im missing software or an update

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Tritonio_GR:
At some point after upgrading to Android 9 I started having the following issue where if the screen turns off due to inactivity and I turn it back on by pressing the power button, I see whatever screen I had open before it went to sleep but it's frozen. Scrolling touching etc still perform (invisible) actions but the screen is frozen until I either press the app switch button or perform some action that would change the current application. While the screen is frozen the drawer from the top works just fine. Also when the app that gets frozen is the desktop (I'm using the default launcher), I can see the background scrolling if I swipe left or right but the widgets don't change, they are frozen.

Does anyone else have the same problem? Any ideas what could be causing it?
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Tritonio_GR:
FWIW I have not really solved the problem but I am circumventing it by having the screen lock immediately instead of waiting 5 minutes. That way I have to unlock with a fingerprint every time the screen is off, and unlocking refreshes the screen which "fixes" the problem.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
There were lot of reports of glitchy phones after the Pie update.

The cure was a factory reset or software repair with Xperia Companion

Use Xperia Transfer to back up your calls/contacts/texts before you reset the phone
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] thegrobi:
Can you please link a thread, where users told, that problem is solved after reset?

I have the same frozen display (since Android Pie), when turning display off and on again.

Don´t wish to reset and install all again, if that does not help.

[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Hi Ralf,

the phone will always work better with a reset after a major update, all the Oreo applications are trying to work under Pie. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Oreo apps aren't made to work under Pie and they can error.

here, is one example, or another, but I didn't jump to Pie because of all the negative feedback and the scores of people trying to downgrade.

A reset will fix your problem and if you use Xperia transfer then the amount of personal information lost will be minimal.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] thegrobi:
Thanks for the links.

This sounds to me, the combination of "old" Navi-apps with Pie is the problem. May be only with Pie on some Sonys.

I'm afraid, a reset will not change the frozen display.

All other apps till now do not freeze after display-on except MagicEarth and Osmand+

This 2 apps i deinstalled (+ deleting the data) and installed again.

Xperia transfer shows me only 2 apps for backup. :rolleyes:

I'll probably try a reset in the next few days anyway.

bye,

Ralf
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] Didgesteve:
Looks like there is know issue with the Osmand+, the date of the post is may last year, but it may just be a 'feature'

When backing up with Xperia transfer, make sure you select all the boxes that are optional. It's things like text messages/contacts/phone history that are useful after a reset. Some apps can't be moved and have to be downloaded directly from the playstore, but Google should give you that option, after you log back in to the wiped phone.

Edit: I can recomend Sygic, free maps for one country, works without data.
[Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact Questions & Answers] thegrobi:
In the meantime, I found more users with this problem and a little solution that another user describes:

If I disable lockscreen, then apps stop when it is switched on again. However, I always have to enter pin or use fingerprint sensor, or smart lock.

This often does not work when cycling and is dangerous when cardriving.

On Android 8, the lockscreen did not need to be active.

So the problem is not Osmand and MagicEarth.

It is a Sony 9 bug with Android 9.

bye,
