[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] prodigyX:
I recently had my cracked display replaced on my Note 8 (that got squashed / crushed) and everything works fine except the USB-C port.

I'm running stock Oreo and have the Pie firmware downloaded but am wondering if there's any way I can actually flash it without using a cable??

I live in South Africa but I previously flashed XEF France N950FXXU3CRC1 Firmware to get Oreo. Is there a way to force an OTA Pie update? VPN?

Any help / suggestions would be appreciated - thanks! :D

I think there are a couple of .zip files floating about the firmware thread. Download one and install from your 'SD' card.

If not, you could maybe ask someone in the firmware thread to create a .zip file that you can then install from your SD card.

Alternatively, you could request a tutorial, to create a .zip, unfortunately I don't know how to do this, otherwise I would have posted it.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] IT_Architect:
I've read and struggled with this for days, so it's time to ask. I plan to live in Colombia and the US.

1. I'm with Verizon with a rooted Note 3, KitKat, and KNOX not tripped. My phone is not a toy for me. It gets used for recording calls so I don't need to take notes, for charging customers for my time and proving my time, for finding network bands being used, for viewing and finding Wi-Fi signals, for doing Wi-Fi site surveys, for RDPing into remote servers and computers from anywhere, for making and having my US number forward to a Google voice number when I'm out of country, writing notes, signing POs, and getting a real backup of my phone so I can restore it back to the way it was if something happens. Yes, it is rooted, on Kit-Kat, Lollipop was blocked, and KNOX is not tripped. I have no use for games or symphonic sound. The only thing I care about is if it is loud enough for loud areas and bright enough for bright areas, and 1080p resolution is fine. The problems with keeping the Note 3 are it does not have LTE-A, which means it will not be able to work on the Verizon network past the end of the year, and it doesn't support the Colombian bands where I intend to live most of the time.

2. The first Verizon Note to enable Verizon and Colombian carriers is the Note 8. US carriers seem to be retarded when it comes to handling band aggregation and have VoLTE issues unless you use their phones. LTE-Pro and 5G will enforce end to that. In the mean time, foreign carriers even in 3rd-world countries do not have those issues as long as the phone supports their bands. Since both the Note 8 and Note 9 get Pie and Q rammed down their throat, and since call recording is broken in both versions, the only way out is root. As far as I have read, you cannot root the Verizon Note 8 and 9, and you cannot stop the update from Oreo to Pie. I've had stylus phones since the TouchPro2 and wouldn't move to Android until they finally developed the apps I needed and they had a phone with an integrated stylus.

If you see a good way out of carrying two phones, let me know. I could care less if the way to get what I need is not a Samsung. Having a KNOX that cannot be reset if you wipe the phone back to stock is almost as asinine as Google releasing Android with broken call recording.

Thanks!

Hello :)

What official (ota8) rom oreo has the french language choice inside système please ?

I would like on BLN21C432B382 upgrade to OTA8 (French inside) and later Pie (French inside).

Thanks for your help.

Regards
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Both Indian and Chinese version of EMUI 8 should contain french by default, anyway I used Indian build and french was there, so: go here https://pro-teammt.ru/online-firmware-database-ru/?firmware_model=BLN-L22HNC675&firmware_page=0 and download the build BLN-L22HNC675CUSTC675D1B510 (8.0.0.510) dated 2018.07.19.

Then you can proceed going to Pie unofficially (no official build for Pie on Honor 6X - the device shipped with Marshmallow, has been updated to Nougat and received Oreo only in India and China regions (miraculously, since that there were already other new phones by Huawei).

No regrets leaving EMUI anyway ;)

I'm under android 7 and this thread describe the methode.

unless can i do it by another (Dload? Adb ? something like that)

is it necessary to debranding with this rom ? (currently BLN-L21C432B382)

Thanks for help :D
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Oh sure, i have understood now :cowboy:

Yeah you have to debrand to BLN-L22C675, but it's a thing that HwOTA can handle. You just have to choose "debrand" when you see the appropriate option while using HwOTA and the thing will be automatically done during the process. I had your same variant before (BLN-L21C432B3XX, European) and everything went well, just pay attention to the steps in the guide. Good luck :good:

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] RedSkull23:
Yes it works, keep it with you because if I remember correctly HwOTA will ask it to you again during the process, in way to re-unlock the bootloader after terminating to debrand :good:

That is because India variant isn't supposed to have NFC chip in its hardware, so this is the only irrecoverable thing if you come from European variant that have it instead. Yeah the option isn't there because it just shouldn't be there.

Hi :o

Erghh ! :crying: I'm stuck in 1/2 brick...There seems to be a problem of partiton when I try to return MUI7 by method :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_3vqb8hPZIQ

I just have access on fastboot mode and recovery.

when i try to flash by fastboot the message is partiton not the same size.

And by recovery wipe data/factory reset "failed" (logic) .

And by forced install stuck at 5% (logic)

At this point how can i do rewrite correct partition? :(

Thanks by advance

[EDIT]

I finally managed to return to BLN-21C432B151.

After many tests (HuaweiUpdateExtractor partiton write errors.) and other...

For that, I flashed system.img by fastboot method and the phone restarts to MUI 2.0.

After i update by forced methode by dload whith original firmware

then update by wifi select menu update. :good:

NFC function works fine :good:

Expansys is iffy. You can order from WondaMobile or Clove. I bought my single sim from Clove, but unfortunately had an issue with the display. They ran out of purple so I opted for a refund. Instead, I bought the dual sim version from WondaMobile (they ship from HK). Shipped to the US in 2 days!

Can u plz tell me about the battery life and screen on time, hows your experience with the phone, I really wanna get it
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] iArvee:
Battery life is a bit better compared to the XZ3. Roughly 6-7 hours SoT with heavy usage. The phone exceeded my expectations. It's thin, lightweight, easy to hold in the hand, buttery smooth as all xperia flagships, and camera is great as well. There's a video on YouTube by flashingdroid comparing the picture quality with the S10+ (Xperia 1 was better)

I agree with some points from other people that low light photos can be improved, so hopefully more camera updates will be released. There are a few things I nitpick on, like accidentally unlocking the phone while putting it in my pocket. Other than that, definitely was a great immediate upgrade from my XZ3.
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] leony74:
Thanks alot for update, I just want to bother u with couple of questions , would it work on Verizon any Ideas and this screen on time was it over a period of 24 to 30 hrs or just straight use of 6 to 7 hrs.
[Sony Xperia 1 Guides, News, & Discussion] iArvee:
It won't work on Verizon if you get any of the international variants. You'll have to wait for the J8170 to be released here in the US on July 12 (or 14), since the J8170 is the only model with CDMA. SoT was over a period of roughly 14 hours.

Hi,

Can someone with Xperia 1 please:

1. Install "Camera2 API probe" and report if it has a green check for "RAW capture".

2. If RAW is indeed supported, please install "Open Camera" (or another third party app supporting RAW output), take some pictures in DNG format and provide the original DNG files.

3. Also take the same photos with the stock Sony cam and provide the original JPG files for comparison with the DNG.

I think this may help quite a few people since we have yet to see any evidence of RAW support and samples from Xperia 1.

Thank you in advance.

Raw Capture App : Camera FV-5

Hi there, I too realized that the stock camera under not so ideal conditions does not really produce the best image. Hope sony does fix it with an update, they have after years made a good phone to compete with other really hope they don't screw it up.

Coming back to topic :

I am currently using Camera FV-5 paid application and the RAW image is amazing in terms of getting a good base to play around on lightroom. I am even getting extremely impressive images by editing it on phone with Lightroom (paid full) android app.

I will try and post a google drive link in sometime, but for a quick feedback the RAW capture on Xperia 1 is good. I am sure even other 3rd party RAW apps should work well., given it has full Camera 2 API support. (Note it does not support level 3 API though)
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] chgr:
Thank you cletusindia for your valuable info,

Can you tell me if the RAW support also applies to the telephoto and ultrawide lenses ?

Also can you access these lenses with FV-5 ? (I have FV-5 but only 1 lens on the XZ2 so I dont' know how it deals with multi-lens.)
[Sony Xperia 1 Questions & Answers] cletusindia:
No, just the main camera. I also use Open Camera, even this app only uses main lens with digital zoom.

Also from camera2 probe (APP) i noticed the Wide angle lens does not support RAW. its only the main and telephoto lens.

Isn't it possible to switch to the wide angle and telephoto on 3rd party apps like open camera?

It doesn't make sense sony locking it even if the JPEG are great.

LG phones have RAW on all lenses for years altought JPEG processing in the later models is not very good.

If you are facing ads in the Menu You its because of an app that you have installed . When an Ad Pops up Tap Recent Apps Button and Know what App is displaying Those Ads.Then From Recent apps Hold the App's title bar and Go to App Info.Then Uninstall it:cowboy:
[Samsung Galaxy M10 Questions & Answers] acp Siam:
I'm gonna say,here the same thing that #Kingmilindu just said. Yep. Samsung's UI doesn’t bring any adds that is shown from system. I can assume a 100% surity that there is any third party app you’ve installed which is bringing adds. You better follow the steps that #Kingmilindu just described. Or if that app is necessary for you, download an add free version by searching in google. Or use lucky patcher to patch add removal..

And now about rooting.. I'll suggest you not to root.. As this is a new device in the market, Samshng will bring and release updates to this device till 2021. Perhapa this will get the android q next year.. So don’t root it right now if you want to get official OTA updates. ?

Okay here is what happened Yesterday I restrated my phone beacuse the volume and power keys were acting funny but instead of booting into the system in boots into TWRP btw just in case I installed a custom rom before i restarted this okay back to the problem today I gave up trying to flash new custom roms since It keeps booting into TWRP so i decided to go with the stock rom I flashed with Miflash hoping it would fix but now TWRP is gone can't turn off my phone,can't boot into fastboot or bootloader,all I can is Mi-Recovery 3.0 also just to add my volume up key wont work that's the reason for why i think there is damage on my volume up key.

From the Main Menu of Mi-Recovery 3.0 all i could do is reboot to system which just makes it boot bact to recovery and wipe data which also did'nt work, Connect with MIAssistant is also useless since the app cant detect it. Thats all.

Hi All

Really interested in some opinions here.

I am on my second Kaiser in the shape of a Vodafone V1615. The first one I sent back as the key cluster on the front was really loose. This one is better but the qwerty keyboard seems pretty poor. What I mean specifically is that certain keys (the "Y" is worst) just dont have any tactile feedback making typing a rather nasty experience.

I think the keyboard overall is pretty rubbish compared to the likes of the Universal and dare I say it my Blackberry 8800. What do people think? Is this another dodgy one?

This is an expensive piece of kit, I dont see why I should have to tolerate poor build or quality control quality!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ChumleyEX:
The craftsmanship of my tilt is excellent. Send it back until you're happy.

Keyboard is the worst part in Kaiser

I hardly use the keyboard, and few keys have stopped working already. I take care of my Kaiser very well.
