[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] justmoto92:
As from the title, anyone knows how to do that?

On 2 of my Samsung Note 9 (Exynos version), during the Android 8.1 OREO period, I get around 6-8 hours SOT.

After the Android 9.0 PIE update, I only able to get around 3 hours SOT. This is 50% drop! :eek:

Anyone knows how to contact Samsung developer team in charge of the firmware? Or someone kind enough to help to contact Samsung team? :confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] raul6:
Via Samsung member app or in their support forums. But before you do that wait until after the next update as it might fix the battery drain, which by the way i'm also experiencing on SA7 firmware

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Lembo:
I've found https://4kmedia.org is a good start with hdr TV demos from different brands.

What I've been trying to find for a while is a company that you can buy 4k movies from. Google Play/Amazon ect. seem to only do HD and with current phone storage I wouldn't mind a film taking up 20GB+ if it's in 4K.

This community has helped me a lot I am currently using the nokia camera app.

https://xdaforums.com/asus-zenfone-max-pro-m1/themes/app-root-risking-totry-nokia-camera-t3799052

But the manual focus don't work in video mode. I have used filmic pro in Samsung on nxt (3gb) but no luck on max pro m1 can someone please make filmic pro port for our model

Asus said they will try to do something then said the have contacted app developer .

App developer might never respond as the phone is full of bugs...

Any alternative with manual focusing while recording will also work.

I have XT1900-2 with unlocked bootloader and Havoc-OS 13022019 build installed. No root. Never flashed 'copy-partition.zip".

Initially when I flashed it, everything was alright, I can boot twrp (never flashed it) and switch the slot.

Now I want to flash newer build. 'fastboot devices' runs fine with the serial number output.

But I can't boot twrp,

$ fastboot boot twrp.img

[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] gleenfield97:
I can't even restore to stock (using this guide) since all the fastboot commands fail. blankflash is not applicable since fastboot still can recognize the phone.

I ran all the commands (each command is repeated at least five times), remarkably none of the command is executed and everything is still intact.

Edit: Managed to restore to stock using Windows (I'm using Linux), except for oem which failed to flash due to exceeding partition size. The baseband is still "<not found>".
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] dougo007:
As stated in other threads, I have yet to break my phone to test this.

I still think starting from the blankflash and then flashing stock from the motorola program would be your best bet to restoring your phone.
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] gleenfield97:
Thanks. blankflash didn't work for me because I didn't specify the port number (default is 9008, judging from other threads). I managed to restock using Windows 7 and the latest fastboot (r28.0.1). It didn't work for the first reboot, so I flashed the Copy Partition . The baseband somehow came back on bootloader after a few reboots.

Anyhow, I think the issue could be due to corrupted /system. Yalp Store's ota.zip currently doesn't support /system/system, so I modified the script. I also wrote a script to install microG (without using NanoDroid). I probably messed up the scripts...
[Moto X4 Questions & Answers] dougo007:
There was a script once made for my current device that didn't work.

Doing everything manually, step-by-step, worked though so that's the route I go when I can.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] ACricketChirp:
My S8+ can see my 128 GB SD card in Device Manager and I can even go into it in the file directory. However, Play Music doesn't 'see' the audio files so I can't dial the music up to play automatically. Picking one track at a time to play is a bear!

I've relocated them to a subfolder called 'Samsung' on the SD logical drive, have pointed Play to my Micro SD, I've deleted and reinstalled the program and I've deleted the system cache to no avail. This is frustrating to no end!

Any suggestions that I've missed? Factory reset maybe. Seems too draconian though.

Thank you for whomever in the ether responds.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
Google either choose simplification or flat out removed the setting. As for why in some sense it makes things simpler for developers and virtually most (not all obviously). Linked two articles out of the multiple google search results below that pertain to the question.

I maybe totally going out on a limb to guess (and I am, not something I am to fond of doing honestly) since GPS/Location services only turns on when it is needed maybe the option was unnecessary?

Granted the choice would be nice, but so far I haven't seen anything in my usage that shows GPS location is a battery killer. In fact I get a lot more active use out of my phone now as it is then I did previously on Oreo, which is rather nice IMHO.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] V6-Maniac:
fyi...

The option seems to be there.

On the Pixel phones you can enable it via "developer options" -> "featured flag"

Samsung decided to ditch this feature flag, why i don't know.

But with tasker and my unrooted S9 i could enable the battery saving mode.

Although you can't verify i think it works.

As i use Life360 which triggers the GPS when opened and haven't seen the GPS icon since i toggled to battery saving mode.

So as lomg as it works i'm happy.

This is fantastic work!!!

Do you know if root can be 'hidden' to Netflix app won't block it's use?
[Fire TV Android Development] urbanman2004:
Thanks, and unfortunately, no. SuperSU is the component that enables root which can be detected by apps that disengage user functionality when they discover root is enabled. I attempted to install Magisk v18.1 to counteract this side effect, but failed miserably w/ the end result to the point that my AFTV2 does a constant boot loop as recounted here. Magisk would be the only option I'm aware of to make root 'hidden', but it's not worth it at the cost of turning your device into a boot looping paper weight.
[Fire TV Android Development] n8wwd:
True. Nothing like having a 'brick on a rope' so to speak. That's not a 'deal breaker' as I subscribe to IPTV services that out performs it anyway. Do you know if Hulu does the same as Netflix? The missus may take exception if it killed that...

---------- Post added at 12:22 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:20 AM ----------

I guess the main reason I'd want root access is to take all of the preloaded apps off for room, as well as have the ability to use the external storage within apps.

---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:22 AM ----------

[Fire TV Android Development] Bevnrick:
I use Paragon on my rooted FTV2. I format my 4 and 6TB drives I have hanging off the USB port with my Windows box as a drive that large NTFS is default format. I have done this for 4 years now. (I have both drives on one box and a powered USB hub. You must use a powered USB on a FTV2 as the USB doesn't have enough power for most drives.) Paragon works like a champ on my Box.

The "connect the fat32 disk" error can be ignored or suppressed (I read how to suppress the error on AFTVNews)

BTW, I just rooted a new(to me) a used 5.2.6.7 FTV2 box using this thread - worked perfectly I even installed the prerooted 5.2.6.7 but then upped it to 5.2.6.8 after all seemed well.

Three issues I am having

1) When I click on "see all" on the "Your apps and channels" line of the home page, I get a spinning circle, then nothing. Apps are never listed as before.

2) Prime Video won't open, yet Amazon Music and Photos do. If I go to the Movie section I can open movies that are on Prime.

3) When opening HBO GO I get the following error message:
