[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheInfiniteAndroid:
Decided to rest my Note 9 for a while & try out the S10+, roughly about a week in now, surprisingly the hole punch isn't as bad as I originally thought, however people claiming they "can't" see it after a while are lying imo, Exynos version as I'm in the UK, performance is definitely better than my Note 9, not that it was a slouch by any means, but this just feels snappier, might be due to the display? Who knows... After around a month I'll decide whether I'm switching permanently or not!

So, since we don't have a full fledge root and I can't afford to buy an unlocked phone so I can start hopping between custom ROMs, I have found a similar thing in linux to make up for not having root. Last week I have finally decided to jump ships completely and abandon windows 100% and start using linux after battling the idea for almost 2 years. But man is it fun to flash a new distro every couple of hours.[emoji23] I think I tried 10 of them in a matter of two days. Narrowed them down to two so far, but it is much better than windows and it has the same freedom feeling you get when you have the ability to flash different custom ROMs. Who here is a linux user? We need to talk.

In battery settings there's an option to "Optimise settings" which turns down screen brightness, timeout and volume at midnight when the mobile not used. How does that make any sense? None of those are used if you're not using the phone.

Anyone else now buying their groceries exclusively via curbside? Here in South Texas I've been doing this with HEB. Buy online then pick up in the parking lot. I literally don't even get out of my car, I just pop the rear hatch (powered), they load it up and I sign on the iPhone they use and off I go. They also have home delivery but I'm not sure how much more that costs. For this curbside it costs me $4.50. Not too bad, IMO. Crowds are just... not my cup of tea.

so i got to 8h15 min @ 5% last night.

today pretty much the exact same usage and it seems I'm not gonna hit the same numbers. ...at all

and if its like the past, gradually each day ill loose SoT compared to the day before till i get like 3h and cant stand it anymore. no new app installs same usage patterns...etc

edit:

so by checking in dev options memory usage, user apps are waking up. even though i restored them via titanium backup and did not restore data and never opened them, they are gradually waking up. it also seems that the samsung auto sleep apps that arent in use is not sleeping those apps. guess ill have to manually add them to the always sleep list and see if it helps. at one time i used to do this for all of them but stoped doing it since i relied on the function to act on its own which dosent work since some apps appear as a service and are seemingly immune to the auto sleep after 3 days by default ( to which i changed to 2 days but didint help). next step is to tag them as "RARE" in dev options/ standby menu.( which i also used to do but stoped doing since was still getting 3 hrs SoT and seemingly didint help.) although i went through all of this in last build to no great avail, giving it one more try.( also will unselect them from background check. but again this is nothing new and was suggest in the past by many and i suspect it still might not fix my excess battery usage that will proably gradually go down day by day). i do have an abnormal amount of apps on this phone and am aware that it is the problem but the tools provided by samsung/android to limit these just seems to not cut it.

Question. Say a guy wants to upgrade to the lastest Pie that is on revision 2 bootloader. If I flash the firmware in Odin but use the revision 1 bootloader (BL) do you think it will work in order to still be able to revert back to previous biilds if need be?

good question.

just flash AP. no need to flash anything else and see if it takes it.

did you reboot device to dl mode between the 1st attempt( that fail) and the 2nd one? if not :

vol down and power it till shuts down and go back to dl mode. it should take it after. the only process you dont want to interrupt is bootloader which you arent flashing. so dont worry about interrupting the AP flash.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:
Yes went back to DL mode after 1st attempt. When it didn't work I figured I wouldn't push the issue so When I try volume down and power and click reboot it says rebooting but it just sits at that screen. Went back to DL mode install with odin passes then it just sits on installing update.

usualy wiping data or cache should have fixed it. maybe try one last flash but then go wipe cache only instead of data after waiting a couple minutes on the blue screen.

one thing to ponder, use patched odin and use a u1 firmware. if it works then just reflash the U firmware you want.

but one sure shot would be to flash full that new firmware but i guess thats a last resort and basically screws you into being stuck on pie

edit just had an idea. grab one of those beta pie update.zip form firmware science site( there's also a thread here somewhere) from april or was it March? put it on sd card go to recovery and choose update

oh because i was just about to post a last ditch proposal which ill post but its crazy stuff:

on my note 8 i think i remember having something sjmilar happen. it was back when i was trying to force a csc.

which seeminly has nothing to do with this issue but the way i got myself out of it was a bit unorthodox and I'm scared of suggesting it since well i dont want to be 2 for 2 with bad advice..

but here it goes:

i did 2 things which forced the phone to reset and force it to change csc. ( at the time i was trying to get it to change to different carriers by flashing other region firmwares. but got stuck)( i kind of suspected that it might be stuck on that part where u are stuck.when you go to recovery can you see at the bottom your csc code? i couldint) so i did 2 things. well 1 thing 2 times

i started by trying to screw up the system. my goal was to get the phone to redetect my sim like it did the very 1st time. since i didnt have a 2nd sim to make it "refresh" i started to flash AP and when i saw that odin was at the system pass and was in the middle of flashing it id pull the plug and reboot the phone. it would then tell me that it failed and needed smart switch. which meant it was already in dl mode id then flash csc and do the same, interrupt it and forcefully reboot it till it said it failed or something. then id fully flash the firmware compeltly.

now as you can see im a bit weary to acctualy suggest this to you and would only do so if you are really stuck. even after flashing the july pie update. and if a warranty claim is out of the question. like a real last ditch effort.

So I just read through everything, sorry my phone had been dead for the past 6 hours and I'm just now charging it up.

From what I was reading you tried flashing v1 and v2 things in odin to mix them together?

Edit: okay yeah I read that right. Sorry man but Samsung got slicker than the Note 8 tricks we were able to pull off. Once the bootloader changes, everything must be on the same level with the exception of some modem files(there's Frankensteins of the international model files), but that's about it.
