I reckon we should move away from xda entirely. I'm setting up a mastodon server, and if you would want to host blog posts, updates etc. I would be happy to take it on board. It would be your own page with your own full controls on how it looks, what people can access it and what they can see. Heck, you could add a donations button. Anything to support your great work. You already have me on telegram so just let me know if you're interested. I will have the server set up in the next few weeks. I guess I could also dedicate some space on the cloud storage area for roms to be hosted as a mirror, but again that's up for discussion. Just let me know how you feel about this if you're interested.

It's a shame that it's come to this but XDA is just full of t***s (if you know what I mean) and I feel like mastodon is the future anyways.

Just noticed you're using RR 7 as your main os? how? When I used it last it was very unfinished, unless you've been building yourself. I would get round to doing that but the Lineage 16 repo is like 100 or so gb and that would be mad to download on my rural internet, maybe days. :(

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) ROMs, Kernels, Re] moozer:
Easy way to update. Wrap device in aluminium foil whilst restarting. This will generate enough MHz to push notifications to the system server for a forced update to OneUI. Once you have restarted, rewrap the device and to initiate the upgrade, place the device into the microwave and put on medium/high settings for 45 seconds. This, again will create enough gamma harvesting to recreate the SoC and ensure stable application of the OneUI to your device. Allow device to cool (lol...sometimes they can get a little hot), then restart.

We profit

Hi guys. I have a problem with my mi pad 4. I have a problem with the 5 GHz wifi that is no longer displayed in the networks available with rom pie. let me explain. with the RoM 10 MiU the wifi networks 5 are perfectly detected. I installed the ROM pie (AEX havoc). the 5 GHz wifi appeared good at the beginning. then for some unknown reason I was disconnected from the 5 GHz network. resettlement. network reset ... flash rom pie I can not see any 5 GHz wifi network anymore. I reinstall a rom MIU in 8.1 global wifi is present. the problem is under the rom pie. if you have any solutions please ?

Right, because the needed change which I referred to is included in this version.

Changing the "control channel" on the router fixed it for me. I suppose this the workaround. The fix is in that wificountrycode parameter.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] addicus:
Hello Everyone,

I'm in need of some assistance to see whether my hardware is bad or not. I have a G3 cid/sim unlocked 8125 that I've been flashing for 2+ years. I recently switched to Tmobile from Cingular/Att. I'm running WM6.1 from It's Right.

As of yesterday I noticed my phone would freeze and then turn to the dreaded WSOD. I was unable to reset using the power button but could through the soft reset button on the side. The phone will either not load all the way or will eventually load up but freeze after a few minutes of use.

Resolutions I have already taken are:

1. Taking out the Tmobile sim. This has made no difference.

2. Reflashing the phone completely. I took it to the base Tmobile 2.26, flashed the 3.08 ipl/spl, flashed the newest WM6.1 From It's Right (TNT.19209+Professional+Wizard+TouchFlo+FREE).

What I have found is still instability. I noticed part of the problem was coming from TimeSync 2.33 so I removed it. The only other programs I have installed that did not come with the rom are:

QuickMenu 2.7

Netfront Browser 3.5 (demo)

Heck the phone just white screened and reset itself while I'm typing this.

BTW none of this has ever happened to me before using the TNT rom's, Mfrazz's roms, Summiter roms, etc... This is a completely new problem that just started yesterday.

Any advise/solutions would be greatly appreciated. If the problem cannot be resolved easily or cheaply I'll be upgrading to a Tilt/Tytn II but I have to justify the cost.

Edit: I'm getting a lot of looks but no replies so I will be posting this in the general forums also.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] XL3N7:
I have the same issue with tht TNT ROM. I'm downloading the AMP one right now to check if it is of any relevance.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] XL3N7:
The same happened with the love rom, so it's probably not a rom issue. Are you overclocked by any chance?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario ROM Development] addicus:
When it first started, yes I was over clocking with the newest version of BS.

I figured out what the problem is (fingers crossed). My phone has went through hell and back with the amount of times it has been dropped by my children and myself. The battery cover (extended battery of course) broke and I recently ordered a new one along with some new stylus's.

Well it seems as if the phone's dimensions have changed slightly from all the banging around and I had to change how the ribbon that allows you to remove the battery is positioned.

Instead of either folding it under the battery or having it come over the battery I had to lay the ribbon flat along the phone then place the battery in. Also had to make sure both sides of the sim card are inserted properly. Otherwise it seems as if the battery connection is compromised, therefore the WSOD and soft resets. It still happens occasionally, usually when I place the phone in my holster.

I hope this helps others with similar problems.

The rom is fine. In fact I am yet to have a complaint about it except for the notifications (standard TNT) at reset. I haven't even installed BS yet, but I have put in TimeSync 2.33 with no problems.

I've also went back to SPB shell and ditched S2U2 for now. Not that S2U2 gave me problems. It's just without the new BS skin I missed having the time in big bold #'s and for some reason I can't stand HTC Home. SPB Shell gives me the home buttons and the standby screen.

Oh yeah - I'm very glad I don't have to get a new phone yet since I found out yesterday that TMobile's 3G network will be using the 1700 band and the tytn / tynn II wouldn't give me 3G once the network launches.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
Well, I have had a SM-N9600 now since around September. I opted for the international version due to it being bootloader unlockable. I have had it unlocked and running on Verizon for months now.

Well today, I went walking in the sun at the track. I used the phone as my GPS, in my pocket the whole time, while taking it out occasionally to check my distance. After I was finished I noticed that the screen looked discolored. I immediately made sure that comfort view was disabled, but the issue persisted. There seems to be a hardware failure of some sort effecting the screen. It looks like major burn in, in a perfect pattern in the middle of the device screen that persists even in recovery. Pictures attached of the screen.

I immediately freaked out and called Samsung to inquire about a repair. They stated that they would not touch the phone even if I payed for the repair. They also basically stated that any of their retailers would not touch it as well. So I spoke to a supervisor to verify. He also stated that they would not help me in any way to get my device repaired due to the fact that it is an international phone. So, even if you ask to pay for the hardware failure, you still cannot get a repair.

I called around to UbreakitIfix locations and they all stated that they would not touch the phone as Samsung owns all of their authorized replacement parts.

If anyone has any information that can help me get an authentic screen replacement please let me know.

Just to clarify, the screen was checked for dead pixels as well as any flaws when it was purchased. This all is from today.

My apologies.

I was in a similar situation before and, literally, was like "Take my damn money!" but Samsung US wouldn't budge.

My first suggestion; start with the Reseller. See what they can do (irregardless if it's been one month or several).

Was it purchased with a credit card? Some credit cards offer extended forms of warranty beyond that of the manufacturer.

There are also several vendors on eBay who perform mail-in repairs. Their range of services/specialties vary. Drop them a line.

You could also sell the device "As-Is" to reclaim a portion of your original cost. It does function albeit the burn-in. You may not get exactly what you paid but at least you have something in your hand towards a replacement.

Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
Thanks for the reply! Yeah, that's what I have been contemplating doing as far as the selling as is part. It is 100% in perfect condition besides the new screen issue. I guess I could at least get 4-500 toward a new device (this time with squaretrade).

I sent Samsung of Hong Kong an email about it, so I'll report back if they respond.

I used the Amazon credit card on it. Is anyone familiar with the warranty on those?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] GuestK00136:
Here you are:

If you purchased it through Amazon, they too, can be quite quite generous with returns.

As for HK, they have a live chat as well:

It's the start of the business day so you should be able to catch someone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
Seeing as you have purchased a grey import. You would have to contact the retailer, who sold you the device and ask them to repair it.

You should be able to find a 3rd party repair shop, that will replace the display for you, if you look around hard enough. Personally I would contact the retailer and get them to fix it. As they are obligated to repair or replace any faulty products sold.

I wouldn't bother contacting Samsung Hong Kong as it would cost quite a bit to get your device repaired by them.

I'm curious how this goes. After my screen failed on my n960u1 I didn't dare buy a 9600. Wanted a white 9600 on Verizon but knew if it had screen issues again I couldn't get Samsung to do anything about it on or off warranty. So if they take care of it I'll be surprised

Yes, please do keep us updated. We can use your experience as a reference for others experiencing similar issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
See, I didn't know about the screen issues. I was tempted to buy a new device and to sell this one "as is", but that's before I knew it is a widespread issue. It would be pointless to buy another one because I would be paranoid about it happening again. I was really thinking I could hold on to this device a few years as I hate the new notch trend, but I guess it isn't going to happen. I doubt they will replace it either. One can only hope though. I believe this will be my last Samsung device after owning basically each release over the years. It's a shame of what the company has become with their customer service and blatent disregard of their customers. They were flat out rude to me when I called just for asking them to accept my money for a repair as I know that it is not under warranty in the states. They need to be took down a peg from a competing company.

I guess I could always try myself if all else fails. Has anyone bought from this site? I wonder if it is possible that it really is OEM?

Yeah they have some issues with the screens. I have had/seen a ton of these and they have had from screen crackling issues on press, screen burn in or discoloration. I am shocked Samsung won't fix it though even if you pay for it! That is why I dumped all my notes and went the s10+ route for now. Hope to get a pixel 4 and a note 10 when they come out. Have been very disappointed with the fingerprint sensor so far though on the s10+

OP feel for you. But this issue or any other for that matter had and has prevented me from buying a device that doesn't come with a local warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
The thing is, I called Samsung before purchase because I have heard in the past that they would not repair them. I explained my concerns to the representative and he said that they would just have to send it to the appropriate location and it would just take a little more time for repair. I mentioned that conversation to the rep the other day and asked if they had a call log or something and he responded "Sir, your more than welcome to send it in, but as soon as they see that it is an international phone they will send it back to you untouched". They are a bunch of jerks over there.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Did you find out cost to ship and repair it from the region that the device originated from, HK?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
No, they said that a representative would reach out to me but I haven't heard anything. There is a 12 hour time difference between us, so I'll probably try again through live chat when I don't have to work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
Why not use DHL or FEDEX with a shipping label back to yourself ? it will cost a fair bit but it’s better than third party repair and cheaper ? As you’re paying for you own postage both ways! I can’t see why they would say no? That’s the only way I’m seeing out of this situation?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
I agree. I'm going to live chat with them tomorrow night though. I hope they allow it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
Just saw over at USA Samsung forums someone mange to get there so called grey import repaired from Samsung USA! Dude keep pestering them don’t give up also i wanted to add let’s say they agree via FEDEX self-label repair..

Make sure you track it, the day it arrives HK Samsung support centre, make sure you phone them up and speak to actual repair team! As loads of users have had screen glue gate issues like yours and Samsung has been sending them back saying its fine when it’s not!

Dude there are some dumb Samsung tech support out there! You don’t want to ship your Note 9 half way around the planet, only for them to hard reset it and update and send it back to you!

It’s even happened to me via Samsung UK when it was a hardware issue 3 times I had to post it in joke they am and I have read multiple post where user have had to send there smartphones multiple times just to get the issue fixed!

Dude you need to be super vigilant! As time is money, and money is time! Or so they say!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
I'll let you guys know if there are any updates. I was only just now able to respond with my IMEI to the rep due to me being at work. He stated that it is difficult, but not impossible to get a repair. So I'm hoping for a miracle. Lol

Worst case, it appears that there are OEM screen replacements floating around eBay. It doesn't look too difficult, so I may give it a try as a last resort.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Good point you mentioned about sending it to HK and them just sending it back saying no faults found.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] N1NJATH3ORY:
Yep soon as they receive his smartphone, the first thing they will do is the hardware test and same for the software test!

They will get a list of All Ok! Full OK, all test passed! Full green ticks! Then they will reset it, then update it once all that is done. then they will grab an invoice sheet, tick it's passed all test, no hard ware faults was found.. Put the phone back in its box, and post it out. I can guarantee that’s what will happen!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
So basically hardly any human interaction. I can believe that.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
I'm going to mention this to them before sending it in. It seems you almost have to drop and break the screen for a 100% repair. Lol.

I was planning on the rep putting special instructions for them to contact me before sending it back being that it is so difficult to send it in. Wish me the best guys.

Again though, those "OEM parts" on eBay look legit. I can't imagine them assembling that much detail just to trick someone. I mean, there is even a copper heat-pipe already installed in the frame. I may try my hand at repairing it if I can't get them to help. This year it looks much more simple than past models. The only "hard" part is getting the back glass off. Everything else just snaps in like Legos.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
*Update*

The representative sent me another message explaining that there is nothing that they can do. So nothing has changed regarding them. I am going to reach out to Droid Life and any other news outlet, so that more people are aware of how they will be treated if they don't have the "correct" Samsung device. Please also do the same as it may actually make them acknowledge all of their customers in the future like every other company does.

Tell rep recommended a Ubreakitifix location, but I have been turned down by multiple locations because they said that Samsung will not allow them. It's just unfortunate that customers are treated this way.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
What happens if you take to ibreakifix and just say it is a note 9 and you want screen replaced? You think they are going to look up model # etc?? In my experience the people there are not very bright
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jal3223:
Samsung requires them to link the repair with an IMEI. I spoke to 5 locations about it and they all stated that there was nothing they could do.

The last location had an awesome employee who talked with me a bit regardless of him not being able to help. He said that it seems to him that the mesh under the battery is causing the burn-in. He said that it was to prevent the battery from overheating. He said that the pattern was the same as I am describing, and that it would have to be replaced. I for-see this being an issue during the summer for a lot of people unfortunately.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] AHE_XDA:
[MENTION=1638061]jal3223[/MENTION]

This is extremely unfortunate. Based on how it was described to you, it's evident that this is a known issue. How else would the Representative know that the mesh caused the exact same pattern if it hadn't been encountered in-house beforehand?

Unfortunately, and it's becoming clearer, we have no guarantees with grey market devices.

One would think, as a device manufacturer, Samsung would take responsibility and begin offering some form of international warranty. People, like myself, travel for work and I have the comfort of knowing if my Lenovo fails, I have repair options available.

What's Samsung's excuse?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
