[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] shantanil:
The build number shows G950F which is the Galaxy S8!!! Are you sure this is a Note 9. Can you post a screenshot of the Download/Odin mode screen?

Moreover 'Hardware Qualcomm Technologies inc MSM8998' is the Snapdragon 835 processor which was there in Note 8 and the S8 series. This is one problematic device you have. This is certainly NOT the Note 9 if the processor and the build number were anything to go by.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] musicman123:
Thanks mate for getting back when I go into download its in Chinese writing hence you see my translation above from Chinese to English.

it boots up saying Samsung Note 9, there is no way to activate the S-PEN as its not in the settings that's how I wanted to try a different rom so I could get the pen to work.

have you any ideas

thanks again mate
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] shantanil:
Going by your post, it may also be that a ROM not meant for the Note is probably flashed on your phone. That would explain the S8 build number. Could you tell me how you are getting into download mode on this? The reason I ask this is because on a Note 9 you can only get into download mode by pressing and holding the Volume down and Bixby buttons together and inserting the USB cable from a switched off state. Also could you post a pic of the screen when you are in download mode.

Also could you install the Device Info Samsung app from the playstore? That will give you definitive info about the genuineness of your device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] musicman123:
press and hold bixby > volume down and power button at same time with the cable connected, I get the Chinese writing in the photo and the about Samsung device in photos.

hope this helps to getting a different ROM mate.

cheers

Hardware MT6580... it's sounds like a mediatek chip which, i suppose, is pretty hard to find in Samsung Note devices...

Or i'm wrong...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] musicman123:
cheers mate, so is there anything I can do regarding a new ROM?.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] terpi74:
Hej...

Maybe You can download app called "DevCheck Hardware and System Info" and see exactly what kind of hardware You have inside Your device...

Or this app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.phoneinfo

Besides this, according to picture which You provide, it looks like kind of clone for Samsung devices...

Or i can be wrong...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sputnik767:
By the looks of it, I'm sorry to tell you this, but you do not have the Samsung Note 9, or even a Samsung phone at all. It looks to be a clone. The CPU doesn't make sense, the display resolution is wrong, there's no warranty bit, bootloader info is unknown, etc. None of it makes sense for a real Samsung device. The reason you are having an issue with the pen is because there is likely no support in this device for a pen. I hope you didn't pay too much for this phone, and I am willing to bet you did not get this from an authorized Samsung retailer. Unfortunately, if I am right, there is no ROM out there that will solve your problem, and because you don't have an actual Samsung device, there will be no ROM here that will work for you. And because none of us know what device you actually have, none of us would be able to point you in the right direction. Sorry that this happened to you.

[MENTION=3402210]sputnik767[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3323913]terpi74[/MENTION] I had an idea that it was fake but you have to go into the brains to check if I could get a ROM to get the S-Pen working even then I doubt it.

I will get my money back on it anyway so aint fussed about it.

but just needed reassurance from youse guys

thanks again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] terpi74:
I don't think so then You will be able to find ROM with working S-Pen... You will be lucky if You find any proper ROM for that devices...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] shantanil:
Get your money back as soon as possible. Get a genuine device and you can use the S-Pen

Hey Evreyone,

Browsing through the other forums such as the development forum, you may have ran across the thread labeled "Introducing: The Mobile Underground".Basically this site takes all the hardware,issues,news,software,and roms updates and centralizes it on one site as blogs! If you're an Athena owner you probaly did'nt hear of it till now, especially if you only check Athena forums.The author mainly aimed it "towards newer and most used devices" and cross posted to those device forums.If us Athena owners can agree on one one thing, that our phone is the most powerful and feature packed device despite it being huge and over a year old we still come to realize its still the best around.Especially with the AP Team around bringing even more potential with their awesome roms.And the inclusion of another rom chef yes ughhh irus things can get interesting.

So with this all being said I emailed the author about adding in an Athena section and by my request they have!, and appointed me the editor for this section.I will try giving this a shot to make things easier for evreyone to provide cutting edge information to the unknowing masses! I do ask because I feel this is a team effort as well, that submit feedback and share ideas and information.Also for Rom Cooks to provide up to date information on their respective projects.If anyone is interested to help pm me so this way I can list contributers and rom chefs willing to provide these updates so evreyone will be aware what to expect.

My idea is before I post an article on the TMU, post it here first so it can be subjected to any additions,fixes,and updates by the community before it's finalized as an article.Feedback is appreciated.

Update: The TMU thread has been moved to xda-devs general and all cross posting in other device forums are closed.

P.s ltxda don't worry I wont post about ur fetish's ;p

The site:

www.TheMobileUnderground.com

Register/bookmark and take a look as theres information about other types of devices (Blackberry,Palm) and Windo s Mobile in general.Untill I post an Article , HTC Athena wont show up yet under the Windows Mobile Category.

Hey guys so problem is my screen flickers a bit when I turn the brightness to max. So is there anyway to set the maximum brightness level through build.prop or somewhere else so that when I move the brightness slider it shouldn't go too high.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] AllStars101:
Hello,

I'm new to the rooting world and I am unaware of how to root my Fossil Q Marshal Gen 2... I use an iPhone so im planning to use android studio on my Mac for the same. Pls help me. Thanks.
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] denial_button:
In terms of actually rooting it, I'm afraid I can't help. However, I have a Fossil Gen 3 Marshall and wanted to do something similar, but my intent was to flash AsteroidOS. The response on here seems to be that it couldn't be done (certainly the flashing the new OS) due to the lack of ports. However, some long and intensive googling suggested that yours (and I suspect mine) does indeed have a data port, its just covered and internal. I have seen the four (actually, I think five) pins that I believe to be the data port, which might facilitate the flashing a new OS.

This is something I intend to keep looking into until I can find a way to keep Google from my devices!
[Wear OS Software and Hacking General] Delgoth:
Yeah popping the watch open and making a pin connector to touch the board with, will allow you access to Fastboot Mode. This has been proven on another Fossil Watch missing the USB Port. And Since I'm guessing most of Fossil's models remain the same with different aesthetic tweaks, most everything should be the same.

We just have to make a Fastboot Connector and then pop the watch open to access USB. I bet you they left most of the bootloaders unlocked that didn't have physical access to fastboot mode. I know my Smartwatch actually has all of its log set to ENG. So there is actually a lot of data to sift through in recovery mode logs and everything. But we can't access the data in user mode. But it is there if we can make the pin connector.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Stransky:
I have the Global version of the F1 running Stock MIUI 10.3.4.0 locked bootloader and have not encountered any of the issues you are having.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] BeBeLKhaN:
I had touch problems playing PUBG on poco where the screen just froze and i couldn't do anything, locking and unlocking the phone worked sometimes but it still is a problem

Also had thermal throttling playing pubg for more than 20 minutes, fps dropped down and phone got hot

I don't play any games on my phone anymore so these aren't problems for me anymore but there is one big problem and that being the "call echo" , almost everyone who i had a call with complains about hearing their own voice and it's very annoying, so I'd say this is a very important issue and needs a fix immediately
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] GamerArc:
You must be on stable build then. The echo is fixed in beta builds. Can anyone confirm this??? I am not entirely sure but no one is complaining about echo now to me. Was complaining earlier though.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Ezio553:
I can confirm for the speaker loudness issue with listening to songs through headphones or earphones the sound is good.

But the speaker is not that loud and i constantly need to keep changing volumes when watching YouTube video through speaker.

In pubg i need to keep the sound at full through earphones then only its usable.Before this Poco i was using Zenfone Max Pro M1 and its sound quality was lot better as compared to poco at least with speakers and in pubg,i never used to keep my sounds more than 60-65 %.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] yogeshsharmagamerz:
Nice topic!

Anyways I'm completely agree with your point 1,2 & 3.

For Point No. 4 I didn't face any touch issue yet. I bought this device 21 sept. 2018. But I heard that many people have touch related issue. So maybe I'm lucky one.

For Point No. 5, I didn't face any auto rotation issue till date.

For Point NO. 6, I don't have vodafone But I saw a screenshot of poco f1 somewhere, It shown 4g+ at status bar with vodafone network.

I'm on miui global beta 9.5.9
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] GamerArc:
You are quite lucky then. Can you share Vodafone 4g+ screenshot?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] GamerArc:
They have definitely reduced speaker volume. Though its not that bad but its lower than before and as you said, while watching youtube etc, slight background nooses ruins the whole experience. It was louder before for sure.

However, the audio in pubg while using earphones...the difference feom other phones is MASSIVE. People need to check other phones to realise what i am talking about.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] GamerArc:
Auto rotation is a minor issue in only youtube... Not that major i agree... Lucky you got a touch issue free device.

Touch issues are there thats why they recently released new touch drivers in 9.5.6.

Can you share that screenshot bro??
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] raman.hwr:
The only major issue I have for now is audio loudness, I used to listen songs on YouTube at around 80% volume but after recent updates even full volume feels insufficient. Also I feel BT volume has gone down though I am not sure about it.

Touch issues are there for me too but I dont play any game so its a minor thing for me
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] GamerArc:
I think they reduced volume so as to generate less heat. Speaker generates good amount of heat. Maybe high volume would have lead to high heat and damage to speaker..

Ghost touch on notch

Ghost touch issue on pocophone especially on the notch area is making me sick. Is it a hardware or a software issue? Ive tried all the suggested troubleshooting methods like disabling the 3fingers slide screenshot but the problem is still evident.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Kratellismorru:
Screen, audio issues

I have read a similar problem of mine on some forums. When using the phone while holding it, the screen works okay (except for some touch delay sometimes on the lower part of the screen). But what agitates me the most is that whenever I lay my phone flat on a soft surface (Bed is the worst), the phone does not respond at all to my touches (except when I heavily, and i mean heavily tap it)

Some say this is a hardware issue, but I was like what? If the screen works fine when held, how come it's a hardware issue? I think the problem is that Xiaomi tied the screen response/touch with the gyro/accelerometer in the software (MIUI 10.2.3.0).

As for the audio, why bother creating a stereo setup if the other one is just a small earpiece? Also the audio channels are also separate, meaning, whenever you play a stereo audio file (with separate instruments per channel), you can only hear one side clearly. Fortunately, there is a fix, its by turning on the mono audio on accessibility settings, but UNFORTUNATELY, this also affects the output on headphones

I hope Xiaomi fixes this soon!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] monotheist:

Bought this phone 20 days ago

Bought this phone 20 days ago due to the processor. But now it seems like a mistake.?

Facing ghost touch but it's manageable (I know it's not but the processor...)

I use earphones mostly so no problem with phone speaker. While playing pubg I have to keep sound level at 90% to hear clearly.

Charging... It's charging Faster than my previous phone. I had Lyf Earth 1. Yea I know...

Miui 10.3.6 stable

6/64gb
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MinBCrafter:
Bought this phone around 10 months ago, never had any issues except number 6.

I NEVER had 4G+ on my Pocophone in my region (thailand, Truemove carrier), i think this is due to the Pocophone only supporting CA(4G+) on bands 3+40 or 40+40/3+3 (i think), my carrier uses B1+B3+B8 or any of that in 2CA so yeah, pocophone's CA(4G+) capablity is extremely limited due to it only being able to do CA in very limited bands (it will do CA fine with indian carriers i heard)

About number 1, I charge my phone overnight anyways so I am not in a hurry and when i wake up it will always be at 100% anyways. I also sometimes charge it outside of my home with my QC3.0 powerbank, and yes since I am in thailand the heat does affect me and it slows charging down to around 12-16 watts instead of full 18 watts, but really charging is a non issue

No touch issues on my unit aswell, had a great experience from the start of using this phone in terms of touch, guess i got lucky or the earlier pocophone models (9/2018,10/2018) had higher quality digitizers, I also heard problems about screen bleeding which I think you didn't mention specifcally , my screen has a VERY minor bleed around the bottom left corner of the screen

One display issue which I think not alot of users face but I do, is image retention. I experienced this myself when looking at something static for a long time with this brightness (70%-85%), it's noticeable in the "dark grey" kind of screens which is the default dark mode setting in Pixel Experience (the rom that I've been using for 7 months now, don't really like how menus are placed in MIUI, or does that just have to do with me using pixel experience for so long), the image retention is not like some extreme burn-in you see on amoled displays, just a very hard to see but "it's there" kind of thing. The image retention will usually solve itself if you leave your phone's screen off for a decent amount of time (image retention =/= burn-in) and this can happen with any brightness setting i found out, i once left the phone's screen on for like 24+ hours mirroring the screen to my pc with the minimum brightness (i see the screen on my pc anyways so no point in leaving the screen on anything but minimum brightness) and yes it did have image retention once i was done using it after 24+ hours, i turned the brightness up and instantly saw retention in the screen of static menu elements.

Of course that's a bit extreme of a use case, not many people are gonna leave a phone screen on for 24+ hours, but yes it can happen lol

Headphone/audio issues: never experienced bad audio in my pocophone F1 when listening to music (I use PowerAmp and it's high-res setting of 24bit/96KHz) it sounds amazing from this phone, but when playing games the audio is definitely sub-par compared to phones I had before.

Another problem I have is random freezes with MIUI, I solved this by using pixel experience and i really love this rom so this is a non-issue for me since I don't see myself returning to MIUI until MIUI 11 comes out or something like that.

[Samsung Gear S] biketronic:
Work in progress to make it work on a samsung tablet running android 7.1.1

Can get the watch to be seen by gear manager but it fails during set up.

This is a list of trial and errors at the moment - please add any ideas you have.

Install magisk /root

Install Magiskhide props config

Install terminal emulator

install busybox via magisk downloads

terminal emulator -> props

Add new custom value

ro.product.model

Was SM-T395

Set to GT-N7105 (note 2)

1. default (current)

y

Boots OK

Safetynet pass

download wear

download amaze file manager

navigate to /data/data/com.samsung.android.app.watchmanager/files/rules.xml

edit to allow tablets=true

set it read only(!)

restart

Safetynet pass

run gear wearables & connect

--------------Beyond this it's a bit of a guess. Trying gearmanagerstub.apk but no luck yet.

--------------Currently fails after 5-10 seconds of 'connecting to gear', which displays on phone and watch.

Sees watch and connects also shows connecting on the watch but then the app bombs back to a list of devices. So it passes the initial device checks at least, but gear2splugin is failing somehow

Maybe I need gearmanagerstub Will try downloading Note 8 7.1.1 firmware see if there is a gearmanagerstub. Yes it has one.

& use magisk app systemiser module....

terminal -> systemize

option 3

enter path of gearmanagerstub.apk e.g. /sdcard/GearManagerStub.apk (where I put mine)

where to install? 1. /system/app

Nothing shows in /system/app... watchmanager bombs again

try restart

Interesting it keep updating rules.xml now.... it is back to supports tablet=false. Both after restart, and then after starting watchmanager. (I edited it after boot then checked again)

fix is set rules.xml to read only.

So perhaps an older version of gearmanagerstub would do the trick.. (I'm using the oldest note 8 one)

run terminal ->systemize

revert app - select 1- (null??)

install note 3 5.0 gearmanagerstub.apk same process

After another failure to connect it got further to ELUA screen before bombing.

I see it thinks my watch is installed now...

It connects for maybe 10 seconds hits "back up and restore" and immediately bombs. The app acts like it is working but the gear says it's not "failed to connect"

Suddenly pops up "error your gear is disconnected" on the restore page.

Now it's back to failing after 5 seconds / 10 spins.

tried copying gearmanagerstub to /system/app and reinstalling all, no difference

This did not trigger safetynet.

Try setting to SM-950F... no change.

Try setting fingerprint to note 8 (SM-950F) (8.0 although I am running 7.1.1)

try ro.build.characteristics=phone,emulator (currently tablet,emulator)

This gives a different list of devices (watches not just earphones) when I reinstalled gear manager.

Still bombs, also the icon is still a tablet when connecting, not a phone.

If anyone has figured this out already I'm all ears

could try non samsung next

[Samsung Gear S] biketronic:
Just FYI

The same T395 tab-phone works pairing a Gear S3 which uses a different plugin 'gearoplugin', with rules.xml edited to say support tablet = true and set to read only. No other tricks are needed I think as supportnonsamsung is already true, all connected to the internet etc. Obviously you need root to edit rules.xml.

= Gear S plugin V2.2.03.19032541N

= Galaxy Wearable V2.2.27.19083061

The gear s uses gear2smodule. I tried the latest version I could find 2118120361, which didn't work.

aka GearModule Version 2.2.02.18120361

Does anyone have a later version?
