[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TheReal V:
[SOLUTION] SPen drawing in >specific< portions of the screen >without< touching.

Anybody had this problem? If yes, you did you solve this ?

Really annoying and Samsung just thinks I'm idiot telling me to do things like:

- Change the tips

- Hard Reset

[Solution]

Since nobody gave a damn and I searched REALLY HARD for a solution. I will take one step forward and help anyone who maybe will have this problem in the future.

What you will need:

- Glue ( I recommend a Glue Stick, since it fixes good and can be easily removed.)

- Aluminum Foil

- Scissor

You will have to crop a little rectangle and test in which height of your SPen the foil will stop the problem.

In mine happened this way:

too close to the tip and the pen won't be detected

Too far from the tip and the problem remains.

In this position all functions work as intended. See photo.

Hit thanks if I helped you!

I did not want to use warranty because I will hate to wait weeks without a cellphone.

You can paint the foil for aesthetics purposes as I will manage to do better than I did ;)

The cropped foil can be in the minimum size you achieve to make it work. Foil is very thin so there is no problems in inputting and removing from the slot.

[UPDATE] [UPDATE] [UPDATE] [UPDATE] [UPDATE] [UPDATE] [UPDATE] [UPDATE] [UPDATE]

After several days I tried the pen without the foil stick and surprise ! It works as intended ! As I said eletromagnetism is tricky so you won't want the foil to be permanently glued to your pen.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
Have you ever dropped the device?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TheReal V:
Yes , but nothing that would cause severe damage. I always use my case and the problem started quite spontaneously.

And I don't think a fall damage would cause this problems in a perfectly squared portion of the screen

> I can use airviewing( in this square) in a uncommon distance (closer) what is a oxymoron because I write without touching in higher distances (WTH)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
Please change the beginning of your solution section. Comes off very condescending and people do give a damn. Considering that I posted a question to you about it at 130am my time, and people probably just didn't have anything to say as they might not have an idea as to why the issue was happening, or didn't get a chance to browse the forum as yet.

Good hack either way with the aluminum foil. Does it cause any issues with charging the method of the pen? Have you used to pen to depletion and then see if it charges after?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TheReal V:
Well, been using it for a few hours and I got no interference in bluetooth functions and neither in the recharging by induction. But what you said about recharging made me think that the smaller the foil crop... the better.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Jammol:
Nice. Have you thought of moving the hack into the pen? That'll be awesome to do and aid with aesthetics. I haven't gone to the point of taking one apart but it's probably just some 3m glue being used to hold the unit together.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TheReal V:
That is something to consider but I don't feel comfortable messing with the insides of SPen since it's so fragile and intend to be water resistant. Maybe if I had more knowledge about it's structure...

3M glue I can say is something you won't desire. I wouldn't stick something permanently in/on the Spen. Electromagnetism is kind of tricky so the solution today can be the problem tomorrow. So easy removal should be preferred.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sullytrny:
I use Gnacad quite a bit and the best I've achieved so far is to put the floating icon in the trash can (long press it) that seems to tone down it's sensitivity but it is still sensitive to the temperature and wether the screen sensitivity setting is set to screen protector or not and of course if a screen protector is used which I no longer use (paid for the gorilla might as well enjoy it.!

Photo's[emoji2398] by Sully using SM-N960U or SM-870A
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] TheReal V:
YES ! I just think exactly the same about the Gorilla Glass. I'm not paying for this and covering with some cheaper glass protector. I just take good care of my screen and it looks amazing !

Did you have this same ''drawing'' problem? Excuse my ignorance but... What is Gnacad?

You have to fastboot flash the rom you want to flash assuming your phone's bootloader is unloacked. Download xiaomi flash, the rom you want to flash, then install xiaomi flash on your computer then flash the rom.

There are many tutorials on online and in YouTube too. Search "how to fastboot flash redmi 5 plus"

Donc serais t'il possible que quelqu'un me le récupere sur la Version Global, version logiciel 1.9.2. enfaite ils suffit avec x-plore d'aller dans gestion d'application et de m'en faire une copie. Car je me suis apercue qu'on pouvais retiré certaine application comme le launcher natif en fesant tous simplement "ouvrir par le systeme" et bien l'application etait suprimé. Donc sais comme ca que je me suis retrouvé sans apk "effect audio" donc si quelqu un pouvais faire ça pour moi sa serais vraiment sympa.Donc serais t'il possible que quelqu'un me le récupere sur la Version Global, version logiciel 1.9.2. enfaite ils suffit avec x-plore d'aller dans gestion d'application et de m'en faire une copie.

So would it be possible for someone to get it for me on the Global Version, software version 1.9.2. they are enough with x-plore to go into application management and make a copy of it. Because I realized that we could remove some application as the native launcher by simply making "open by the system" and the application was removed. So know how I ended up without an audio effect so if someone could do that for me it would be really nice.

[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Bernu_bro:
I have found serious issues after new update in oneplus 5t. My IMEI number is null, both the sims are not detecting, wifi doesn't turn ON. This happened when after getting an OTA update in oneplus 5t. After flashing the file, the device works as normal for 2 days then suddenly restarted then the issue has found. I approached their service centre last week, they told that we need to change the motherboard for solving it. I found similar issues with other phones too and they have solutions with it. But can't find the solution for oneplus 5t.

I DIDNT HAVE ANY BACKUP DUE TO I AM UNAWARE OF IT. M REALLY SORRY FOR THAT.

Can anyone please help me out...I m sitting on it for the past 2 months can't find any solution...Please help me out:(
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] niklas389:
So the problem is that no one can restore your IMEIs - if there's no backup then you'll have to go for the mainboard replacement, there is no other way...

Thats hard, but I think thats how it is - always backup your EFS partiton, that should always be the first thing you do, if you want to modify anything (Root, etc.).
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] Bernu_bro:
I found that many of them suggests to write IMEI number using QPST or IMEI writer. Can we go for that method for restoring it. I have both the IMEI numbers with me(on the box). Can u help me with it. plz
[OnePlus 5T  Questions & Answers] crakerjac:
Your best bet is to contact OnePlus and see if they can restore it for you.

[MENTION=8165603]DragonFire1024[/MENTION] I definitely didn't create this tool... I found after many hours searching. One thing I will note is that this version doesn't support newer samsung firmwares that are lz4'd inside the tar.md5. I keep meaning to script a wrapper for this but time and motivation escapes me lol.

Thanks for the guide though and don't forget Heimdall is still a great tool for flashing Samsung devices on linux.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DragonFire1024:
I didn't have luck with Heimdall, however as stated in my own guide, trying non stock firmware probably won't work. However i didn't try using this tool yet.

Well I still give you the credit. This should've gotten a lot more attention. I'm going to look into how this is done. Maybe it can be applied outside the Samsung framework.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] DragonFire1024:
This also can be done using another device and simply taking the binary and inserting it into the system bin or into xbin. You may need to do a couple more files to with I forget however I was able to successfully flash firmware back to my Galaxy S4 using this binary and a rooted shell from my rooted and unlocked Amazon HD 10.

I test drive my phone after i get them for 2-3 days which is always a pain in the a**... because i'm used to all the benefits of a rooted device. but then proceed to rooting it and set it up fully the way i like it with all my data etc. I WANT ROOT :crying: from the past, can some one estimate how long it usually takes?

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] douger1957:
Is yours a Snapdragon device? I just traded a Note8 in for the S10 and while that phone had root available for a rather short time, there were no custom ROMs because the bootloader was not unlocked. The last time I checked over at that forum, there was one guy trying to unlock it. That's over a year and a half since the phone came out.

Samsung puts extra effort into securing their phones. Their focus is on the corporate and government customers and not the few enthusiasts who want to root their devices. If you need a phone that requires an unlocked bootloader, you'd probably want to look at suppliers that still support the enthusiast community. If your heart is set on a Sammy device, you're at the mercy of XDA developers who could crack the code in a week, a month, a year or more or never.

And before I get flamed on why I am at XDA if I don't want to root my phone, there's a lot of great discussion here about things that don't require root. I've done my share of modding and as I get older find the benefits don't outweigh the hassles anymore.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] pingufanpoy:
Consider buying a used s9 if you don't want to compromise.

The three worst features of the phone are the screen

It haa one of the best camera sensors but has no ois

the bugs good God so many bugs every month they promise so much they say dolby in November now look it's March and they still don't have it. Promised widevine now only released in March.

The Google camera port is amazing as it combines 7 photos to fix noise and shaky hands

As for the main camera the depth sensor is reallllly bad but google cameras portrait mode is amazing.

For video stabilization its only available on stock it is pretty decent for no ois because it is very warpy. Ois is better period.

Each community update they post the problems and say pending could be pending forever lol

Nov where is 4k 60

Dec where is 4k 60

Jan where is 4k 60

Feb where is 4k 60

Mar OK after 130 days we finally have it

When they say they have alot of updates it means security patches.

You can replace fonts with magisk and it's one of the most customizable phones with root and a sizeable battery. It is water resistant as demoed by their companies Twitter but not ip rated to save costs.

Upsides are that it costs little

What good would spoofing your location do? European models are N950F. You're asking about the US N950U1. They're different phones, different firmwares.

The U1 will get the update last. The carriers still have to approve it before it can be released. And they will push the update to their carrier branded models first.
