I'm not sure what that is. Is R800XXU1CSE1 a different build for the oneUI update? I currently rolled back to R800XXU1BSA4 and everything is back to normal. What is the difference between these two and do you think it is possible to have oneUI without battery life being crap?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Nmc_alves®:
I have oneUi and i dont have any issues...

Its a oneUi build...

My battery life is good. No issue with installing apps into watch. Some app failed to install the first time, but after clicking it again, it installed to the watch. Maybe people should try clicking it a few times
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] zvoner5:
I clicked it tens of times. I don't think you'll find complete tech noobs here, we're on XDA after all. I'm assuming they had different builds for either regions or variations of the watch (R800, R805, R810) and people that had more success with the update are on a different build than the ones with issues. For example I had R800XXU1CSD6 come as an OTA update and it killed my battery life, I couldn't install the S Health update and the watch was much slower than before. I flashed the previous version of the software and everything went back to normal. So it's clearly a software / build issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] torickray:
You should wait for CSE1 update which I'm having now. Good battery life and no issue with installing apps.
[Asus ZenFone Max Pro M1  Questions & Answers] Spartinus:
Hello,

I just received my Zenphone pro yesterday and i enabled Camera2API , i tried "MGC_6.1.021_BSG_Arnova" and "GCam_6.1.021_Advanced_V1.4.032219.1950"

but the thing that confused me is that it shows that the camera app is already installed in my device (which is false) then the installation fails ( app can't install) so i thought that two apps can't have the same name.

So i wanted to remove the built in app camera (with powershell) but before doing anything that can ruin my phone i wanted you to give me your thoughts on this.

[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] Amadeus48:
Hi I have a big problem with my Max 3.

I ulocked it and then I flashed it with the official Xiaomi Flash App and clicked the 'clean all and lock' button. Unfortunally I flashed a bad ROM.

Now I can only boot to recovery (This MIUI version can't be installed on this device) and Fastboot.

If I try to flash a ROM I see 'Erase not allowed in lock state'. I tried to unlock it with fastboot, I receive 'Token verify failed' I tried with Mi Unlock: My account is accepted and when I click Unlock

I have 'Current account is not bound to this device' :(But I can't bound it because i can't boot it!!

I would be very, very happy about a solution for this mess!!!

Thanks everyone who has i idea!
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] dinhvtai:
Use MiFlash tool, flash the fastboot version of latest global stable or beta rom on: https://xdaforums.com/mi-max-3/how-to/rom-official-recovery-fastboot-roms-mi-t3827503
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] mierlo420:
He already tried that. You can't use MiFlash with locked bootloader.

I am afraid you have bricked your phone. Unless you have an official Xiaomi servicecentre nearby.
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] dinhvtai:
:)

Are you sure? :)
[Xiaomi Mi Max 3 Questions & Answers] marcoryn:
I had exactly the same. Locked my device when flashing (!!!?) then error while flashing, format the phone and everything was gone, locked bootloader.

After a search of 2 months I found out it was possible to repair the phone.

You have to open your phone, not very hard..follow this video https://youtu.be/dYlKG3EcpHg

Then contact the guys from S-Unlock https://s-unlock.com. I did it too, and they are thrustworthy.

You have to test point your device, https://youtu.be/IYWItgq2f9E until the Quallcom driver appears in your devicelist.

Then contact S-Unlock via chat. It can take up to 2 hours before the respond. The service cost 25 dollar for installing new Rom.

They log in to your computer via Teamviewer, they install MiFlash and Rom.

They have a special restore account. Without this account your Max will never work again, no need to try.

For 25 dollar my Max3 is working again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BrainwashedUser:
Hello dears,

One of my clients called me related to a problem with their Note 8 device. At first it sounded like a typically bricked device problem but after taking a closer look on some of the screenshots they've sent me with the device it really got me confused as to what had happened to the device. I don't have the device with me at the moment so the screenshots is all I have until the client arrives but I'm posting this thread in hopes to find out if there is any possibility of fixing the device so that I put the client on the road for nothing.

From what I understood the client tried rooting the phone and it got into a boot loop afterwards (I don't know the exact process of rooting that they've tried, that's all they said to me), they also said that they've been with the device to someone else afterwards and they've tried a few times to resoft the device with some ROM variants on the phone but they've "failed"to fix the device in the end and my client got bored of waiting for them to keep trying.

I thought the phone may be soft bricked and I asked them for some screenshots with the device so that I can see what firmware they were running and also a screenshot with the phone model details on the back and so they sent the screenshots to me and a few extra more.

Now, the first thing that I see is that the phone strangely runs or has ran a DIFFERENT firmware version for a DIFFERENT MODEL. If you look at the screenshots posted bellow, you will see that the phone is a SM-N950F/DS but runs an N9500 Firmware/ROM (Chinese I guess). I am confused, I haven't see that before. Is it possible that the guys working at the phone before managed to install a wrong firmware and hard brick the phone even more?

I see that the ROM that is currently shown on the phone is indeed an official/stock one from Samsung so I also wonder if that's how the phone actually came out on the shelf since the client told me that they've bought it from around that region. But still, the rom is clearly made for another model from the one written on the back of the phone so I don't really know what to say I haven't met with this issue before.

Also, judging by the screenshots offered what would be the steps you guys would make to fix the phone (if possible) and what exact rom version should I flash via Odin if anyone has an idea.

Should I flash the stock N950F/DS firmware or the N9500 CHC/TWN stock firmware? What would be the steps to bring this device back to life ? I appreciate your patience and I hope that the phone can still be revived.

Here are the screenshots (I apologise for the quality but this is what the client has sent at the moment).

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
He has flashed the wrong filmware/rom.

The fact it can boot into recovery means it is not hard bricked. You should be able to just flash the N950F DS filmware to fix it, which you can get from Sammobile or Updato.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BrainwashedUser:
Excuse for asking this but I have two questions:

Could you tell me wich exact version of the firmware should I go for (as there are many versions) and also will the bootloader accept the firmware by flashing it via Odin or are there any chances it may give some dm-verifcation failed error ?

Thank you very much.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] stonedpsycho:
Just use the latest version of filmware. It is still rootable if the guy wants to try again.

Just find out what country and network he is on and you can use the advanced search to find the filmware.

I am no expert, so I am unable to answer that question but it should be fine...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BrainwashedUser:
Thank you, when my client arrives I will try to flash the N950FXXS5DSB4 (since we're in Romania here).

I take it the DS = Dual Sim and the B4 means that the ROM was created for the version 4 of the bootloader on wich the phone currently runs on. The rom is carrier free and the version is Android 9 (Pie), March 11, 2019).

I hope the bootloader won't reject it. I will come back with an update afterwards.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] StevePritchard:
The DS doesn't refer to Dual Sim, it's just part of Samsung's versioning scheme. The single and dual SIM variants of the Note 8 use the same firmware.

As you said the device is carrier free, then the "ROM" CSC is the one you want to go for, and the latest version of that (DSE5) is available via SamFirm for the "INS" CSC - although you would be getting the "INS" version, it's a standard one that contains multiple CSCs within it, including "ROM".
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BrainwashedUser:
I have the device, downloaded the DSE5 ROM, connected the phone and it when I click start it instantly fails.

On the phone I get a while line instead of an error on why it failed.

Anyone has any idea why is that ?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BrainwashedUser:
I Get Re-Partition Error now. I even tried with the PIT and RE-PARTITION checked as well and it gives the same error.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] BrainwashedUser:
I managed to flash the same ROM that it's written on the recovery menu via Odin but after passing (takes 5 minutes) and gives no error it boots into recovery. Same thing if I extract the PIT file from CSC and check the re-partition. It passes but it boots me into the recovery menu after restart. If I restart normally afterwards it still loops to the logo and restarts. It shows the logo, vibrates twice, reboots and keeps doing the same thing. Flashing with the latest ROM for SM-N950F/DS (N950FXXU6DSE5) will give the error Re-partition failed in Odin.

Any ideas ?

Similar Issue

Hi, almost similar issue here.

I just bought a second-hand Note 8, but there are discrepancy between the variants. The seller said that he got the phone in Singapore, and the back sticker and etching said it is SM-N950FD. On the Settings > About Phone, it said the model number is SM-N950F/DS/DS. However, the Recovery said that this phone is greatlteks, running N950NKSU3BRA1 and the download mode is in Korean and the Product Name is SM-N950N running custom binary, with FRP Lock and OEM Lock = OFF. Carrier ID is LUC.

I need to return this values to stock so that I can upgrade to Pie. Please advise on which stock ROM should I install in this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Trex888:
Looks like you have a refurbished note 8 korean model N950N with replaced body and faked software N950F .

The motherboard is Korean so don't try flash N950F software on it will fail in odin it won't work.

Only N950N firmware will work only on your phone and you can flash android 9 pie but be careful if you flash N950N firmware you will lose N950F software and also dual sim will no longer will work too because possibly your dual sim also converted by software not Hardware. Because there's no N950N Exists with dual sim model.

My 3a XL only seems to have sound out of one of the bottom speakers.

Is this correct or do i need to get it replaced?

If i place my finger over the bottom two speaker holes, i can only feel it out of one.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] poncespr:
It has stereo speakers, one is the earpiece, the other is on the bottom right grill. The grill in the bottom left is not a speaker but the microphone for calls. There is another microphone on top, opposite to the headphones jack, probably used for video recording and noise reduction.
[Google Pixel 3a XL Questions & Answers] Antonyo13:
Thank you! That is what i thought i just wanted to confirm. I know some phones have dual speakers at the bottom.

The two grills threw me off.

I saw a lot of early articles that stated the stereo speakers were on the bottom. That just added to the confusion too.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] xronaldx:
Whenever i select another launcher it jumps back to the normal launcher. Anyone knows how to fix this? And yes i have tried selecting for example nova launcher as default. Found that there are 2 possibility's for selecting default launcher and the newly installed launcher won't show up in desktop launcher category. I'am prob going to global rom whenever it's released because of this. Have Chinese 2.14 with gapps now.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
in display settings go to navigation bar settings an turn it on. when you sweep up from the bottom you will see the usual 3 options of recents home an back button (by fault my unit seemed set to gestures which I did not enjoy so switched on navigation bar).

when you tap the home button it will turmn to the gaming launcher by default. to turn that off an return to the nubia launch go into recents an click on any screen section an it will return to the nubia launcher.

This means by default you can only use the home button for the game launcher.

I have the Chinese 8gig 128gig rom version that is currently soft bricked.

But this worked every time before my TWRP accident :)

Hope this helps?

Also... you can set the default to Nova in setting I think :)
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] xronaldx:
Yeah i also use the 3 buttons on the bottom of the screen instead of gestures :P.

I'm talking about changing the default launcher, I don't like the nubia launcher.

When i select nova launcher to set it as default launcher it simply keeps returning to nubia launcher.

Also in settings>app info > default app settings >desktop it only shows the nubia launcher and the game launcher, it doesnt matter what other launcher i install from the play store they all won't show up here.

When i start up nova launcher and go to settings and click on the set this app as default launcher i get to the default app > home app and here i can select nubia launcher, game launcher or nova launcher so when i keep selecting nova launcher to set as default i still go back to nubia launcher.

I have been using nova launcher for years on my xiaomi mi mix 2 and oneplus phone for years and I like it alot, I prefere a app drawer.

It's prob a software bugg but meaby someone has a solution.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Bryceicle1971:
yes I remember that.

I uninstalled Nova launcher an just flicked between the 2 nubia launcher (gaming mode an regular).

I also have had Xiaomi cells for the last 4 years (redmi 3 pro an MI note2) but have come to realise that ZTE/Nubia is a very different cat.

Your probably right about thew software bvug preventing non Nubia launchers.

I wish I could unbrick mine lol. Using my Mi note 2 until I can manage to fix the stuck in fastboot made an locked (which is crazy because I unlocked the bootloader via CMD commands).

Its been in fastboot mode a week now.

I think this cell is brand new technology an you might have to be patient an wait for a support base to develop for it as well as company updates.

I was impatient an am noe locked permanently in fastboot mode as I stupidly tried toi flash TWRP for the red magic (the first version of our model from 2017).

With disasterous results :(

Good luck with your set.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Secretcow:
You can switch your launcher permanently by going to Settings -> Apps & notifications -> Default Apps -> Change home app to whatever you want.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] xronaldx:
Apps & notifications is called app info in my settings and setting it to default like you normally would do is not possible. When i get to default apps like you said i can only switch between nubia and game launcher.

I just got the USA (global) version of this phone. Doesn't appear to be ANY gesture navigation in the settings. Just the standard 3 buttons at the bottom. No way to change them, reorder them, hide them, or use gesture navigation instead. There is no navigation bar settings in any of the setting menus. Anyone else have this issue? Am I missing it somewhere?

Go to settings - apps and notifications - see all apps - look for nova launcher, click on it - click on advanced - you will see "home app". It should say "no". Choose yes. - done, nova is your new home.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] xronaldx:
In app information i don't have the home app default switch, it looks like this.

Before All, You Should Have Only There launcher Enabled, Two Nubia Launcher, One Custom Launcher.

I Use com.microsoft.launcher As An Example., The same goes for the others.

Tested in CN ROM v2.22 And v2.27.

1.Using The following line to get your launcher's Activity names.
$ adb shell dumpsys window windows | grep "mCurrentFocus|mFocusedApp"

2.Try To Start it
$ adb shell am start -n com.microsoft.launcher/com.microsoft.launcher.Launcher

3.Disable Nubia Launcher
$ adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 cn.nubia.launcher

4.Set Home Activity.
$ adb shell cmd package set-home-activity "com.microsoft.launcher/com.microsoft.launcher.Launcher"

5.Reboot Your Phone (maybe no need).
$ adb reboot

6.Before You Unlock, Disable Nubia Launcher One More Time
$ adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 cn.nubia.launcher

7.Go To "App info - Default app settings - Desktop",
(Select Custom Launcher if You Go to desktop directly instead of push button in status bar)
Press Game Launcher 10 more times,
Push The GameKay On immediately, Wait Animation Over Then Turn Off,
It Will Just Go Back to Your Custom Launcher.

8.Re-Enable Nubia Launcher.
$ adb shell pm enable cn.nubia.launcher

9.Do it Again. Push The GameKay In Your Custom Launcher, Then Turn it Off.

10.That's it, Now You Will Go to Your Custom Launcher When You Press the Home Button.
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] xronaldx:
Haha thanks Harry your post got me started thinking.

I fixed the launcher problem in a easier way :)

1.Download the latest launcher in my case nova launcher

2.Install es Explorer

3.Go to gamespace

4.Add nova launcher and es Explorer as games in game space

5.open es Explorer and select both show hidden files

6. Go to device in es Explorer, then system, then app, then nubia game launcher folder, then try to install the containing game launcher apk, the installation will fail but that's what u want.

7 go back to game space and open nova launcher and set the launcher as default in the launchers popup window, also go to application settings and set the launcher as default.

Al done now :)

Even if you would try to install rom with arb3 system wouldnt let you install it, flashing via updater is 100 % safe. ARB 4 starts from 8.7.6 global beta/9.5.19.0 global stable, so its fine moving between latest roms.
