[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] gruuvin:
LEDs are diodes. A diode is a pn junction (a one-way valve), which is also what you find in transistors. These things are designed to switch on and off thousands of times a second, and do so for years with zero issues. LED brightness can also be driven with pulse width modulation, switching hundreds of times a second, with a modulated duty cycle that varies the LED brightness. Also note that while you are watching a video on your phone, five million LEDs are getting their brightness modulated 30 times a second. These things are designed exactly for this stuff. Nobody on YouTube will convince me these OLED screens are damaged by normal use.

NORMAL USE.

That said, these screens get VERY bright, to accommodate infrequent use under full sunlight. But some people complain that they can't stand (or even read from) their phone if the brightness is any less than full blast. My wife has it this way even in a dark room, or worse, while DRIVING at night. It's ridiculous! Auto-brightness is the way to go. My Auto-brightness varies from about 10-50% in normal indoor lighting, and it's very comfortable on my eyes while saving battery. I've just finished my normal 16 hour, day and I'm have 79% charge left (seriously). I last took my phone off the charger 16 hours ago.

Download and run the OLED tools app to see how bright your Note9 can go. You have an enormous amount of brightness headroom that you should never need to use for very long.

Dark mode actually helps prolong the life of AMOLED/OLED displays. As pixels which display black are turned off, so only the pixels which display color on the display are active.

Now I have twrp recovery with custom rom but I want to flash stock recovery.Anyone have this?
[Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers] SubwayChamp:
This device hasn´t recovery partition, stock recovery interface is a part of the stock boot, when you flashed a custom rom it was overwritten but if you already flashed the TWRP installer what you can do now is to flash stock boot or a backup of the boot that you´re using but you´ll lose Magisk or a custom kernel if you have it.

The better is then to set up all included Magisk not to flash TWRP installer.

I installed the official WM 6.1 update on my Kaiser, and now it won't boot - it just hangs on the HTC splash screen. The bigger problem is that hard reset doesn't seem to work - I press and hold the 2 soft keys, press the reset button, and then it just does a soft resetback to the splash screen.

Can anyone help? Please?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RizwanKhan:
thats because you are not properly pressing the two soft screens. Do you have big figures? if so you might be hitting the keys next to them accidently and the phone just soft resets when you put style in to hole.

Make sure you don't touch the other keys except the 2 soft keys together at same time and while keeping them depressed insert stylus and than keep this for a second and the restore will come up.

p.s. use chop sticks or something else or grow your nails a little lol so you can press the keys easily ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] parleyp:
Also make sure the USB cable is not plugged in as the phone will NOT hard reset if it is.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] omk298:
Thanks for the ideas guys, but still no luck. Fairly sure I was pressing the buttons right anyway, but I've tried with a couple of pens, and no USB cable in sight, and it's not done anything different. Any other suggestions?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NotATreoFan:
Will the phone go into the bootloader (hold Camera button while soft reseting)? If so, then just flash a different ROM.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] omk298:
Thank you, that's sorted it!:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] NotATreoFan:
Good to hear that worked. There have been some isolated reports on the site regarding certain OEM ROMs preventing the traditional hard reset from working. Look like you found one of them! :rolleyes:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
u sure it needs one? whats us cellulars device unlock policy
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] angelorodriguez:
it's so diffictult unfortunately, so I'm searching for other way

us cellular policy:

Eligibility

For devices capable of being unlocked, what are the eligibility requirements that need to be satisfied before a device may be unlocked?

The requesting party:

Must have an active account with U.S. Cellular or

Is a former customer who has fulfilled all financial obligations to U.S. Cellular or

Is an individual owner of an eligible device

Prepaid customers may have a pre-paid device unlocked any time after 12 months from the first activation of the device sought to be unlocked on the U.S. Cellular network

U.S. Cellular will not unlock devices that are lost, stolen or obtained fraudulently.

U.S. Cellular cannot unlock devices that have not been sold or provided by U.S. Cellular.

Due to compatibility, differences in technology, obsolescence and/or hardware/software limitations:

U.S. Cellular may not be able to unlock a device.

U.S. Cellular cannot guarantee that an unlocked device will operate on another carrierâ€™s network and/or perform as it would on the U.S. Cellular network

Military Personal may have the device assigned to their account unlocked upon presentment of deployment papers for locations outside of the U.S. Cellular operating areas such as overseas provided the account has no past due balance.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] guyd:
One possible explanation could be "I'm going to England on vacation and want to use a local SIM card for service while I'm there."
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Voicebox:
I will second guyd's recommendation. The reason in your case might be you haven't had an account long enough, or the phone long enough with the account you have, or something along those lines. I remember a carrier I was on (AT&T or Tmobile) used to have a 6 month period if on a prepaid account, or similar restrictions. But I actually got the code sooner than that just by asking. But I think I was maybe 3 months into the period on a long standing account where I hadn't had any other phones unlocked.

But the way people used to try to get around that was by making the request related to international traveling. But it wasn't 100%. Some people would try a few times before it working.

I also think people reported that using chat worked better than calling, or the other way around.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] yurjan:
they all liars, i tried unlock my phone i paid $13 After 25 hours they send me code did not work at all and now im trying get money back
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
you cant just call in and get a unlock code lol... the sprint department i work in is customer account services which handles all those calls.. Sprint along with every other carrier sees device unlocking as achurn clue since typically people want to unlock to use their phones on another carrier sothey give themselves that "last chance" to save a customer.

with that being said, no one u can talk to over the phone at sprint has the ability to unlock phones... they create a case which goes to a dedicated back office team that goes and unlocks it on the back end.

They will notify you via whichever means you requested when the case is created. It typically will take 1 to 3 business days unless they are backlogged at which point it can take up to 5 business days.

This is all of course assuming you meet the requirements which typically means device is fully paid off, phone has been active on Sprint at least 50 days (i think its 50 if i can recall) and account is in good standing i.e. not in collections or suspended for non pay etc etc.

Its done on the backend servers so usually just need the phone to b turned on and connected to the internet. I believe they also send you a code.

All they can do over the phone is create the case and check in the system if its unlocked or not.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
tgen they will only submit a request for intl sim unlock and not domestic lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
i think that rep did a great job explaining the exact policy in detail which is more than what most get.

If you a gripe its not the reps fault, they are just doing their job and adhering to Sprints policies and procedures.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
i assume the code they provided is probably an msl code or somethin that doesnt fully unlock the device.. im suprised they did that for you, you should be greatful lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
Really? lol i mean i dont have sprint for coverage reasons but you make it spund like theyre the only company with policies like this.

How do you think myself and other big red users feel when they implemented their new unlock policies? Verizon requires the phone to be activated on the verizon network then you must wait 2 months for an unlock regardless (unless military or govt) and they originally had an agreement with the fcc but managed to get out if it early.

I reiterate Sprint does not have the means to fully sim unlock a device on the spot but do have a means to generate an msl code or other unlock code but as youre aware its a way to fully unlock the device.

And its also a fact that just bcuz a phone gets unlocked doesnt mean itll work everywhere, this is with any device with any company. Sprint cannot guarantee someone elses network lol. If you choose to leave a d tale ur phone why would they guarantee it? They wouldve been dead in the water lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
you dont have to return it and can purvhase it which is the right thing to do if you want to own it and use elsewhere.. its not "yours" until its paid in full. Unless you live in one of the few states such as new york where the govt doesnt allow you to purchase the device at which case you either return it, swap it out or keep it until it gets blacklisted and still pay for it in full in the end or have it hit ur credit

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] rainakingsley:
the sprint msl code is worthless for an note10+. sprint will tell you to take it to your new carrier and they will know what to do. that is not true. i called sprint and asked them to explain how this number gets entered into my phone? they haven't a clue. that is a fact. i was told that samsung puts software on the phone for sprint which locks it to sprint. samsung told me that sprint puts the software on their phones. samsung also stated that the verizon note10 are the same exact phones hardware wise. the cell phone code does state that if your contract was met and left in good standing they have to unlock it for local use. you do not need be a sprint customer and your phone does not need to be active.

how??

---------- Post added at 05:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Same result here...funny thing is they do have access to some database as they do retrieve your correct serial number and device info....code just doesnt work
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
you cant unlock it with the msl code lol.. msl code is useful sometimes but its not so easy to sim unlock these days.. to do it yourself sammy has msl certs and other items protecting it.. not to mention restricting AT commands and communications to the modem..

If you want to do it legit, as i advised the other day, sprint has a back office team that unlocks devices.. so u need to call care then they will xfr u to account services who will then create a case if its eligible to b unlocked at which point itll be unlocked within 1 to 5 business days.

very rarely do they need to send a "unlock code" these days.. most devices can b unlocked in the back end and sent to the device ota..

vzw started locking devices for 60 days now.. the msl code on vzw devices is always 000000... so if u find a way to sim unlock using the msl code only then let me know lol
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
theres plenty services out there if he is that in need haha.. but yea, when i needed to unlock my recent devices i got a guy that does em.. i need to run a few at commands using a special at binary (one that works) to get some strings back (like AT+MSLSECURE and a AKEY one time code etc etc) which i give to him.. then he sends to some server somewhere and waits to get the mslcerts n stuff back.. then you use those to unlock AT security so u can then unlock the device..

he told me that the mslcerts n stuff are device specific .. so each device has its own unique certs...

thats about as far as my knowledge on this stuff lol.. i recently unlocked a N960U and an A505u and a A102u.. before this i never bothered with sim unlocks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] dcperdue:
All you guys are full of ****. There is no unlock code on any of the note 10 or s10. Its all automated through UICC. New phones keep the software on the sim to talk to the towers and the soc is locked to a carrier if its a locked phone. there is not magical code going to unlock it. The provider unlocks it from the tower and tells the soc to unlock. This is why a few companies charge 100 to unlock them and you must download a usb emulation program that lets them remotely connect to your phone remotely through usb. The process takes about 10 mins from the time the order is placed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
agree with the other user.. its carrier controlled.. thats y some carriers have their own methods.. like tmo is server side and sprint has their own method etc etc.. some use unlock codes also.. it varies by carrier..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
again, device unlock requests are handled by account services.. so whenever u call in u prolly get to care or another dept. then when u request unlock they are required per policy to transfer you to acct services (aka retention) since care arent allowed to submit unlock requests.. you get to retention bcuz to sprint (or any carrier) device unlock means ur leaving or going to another provider..

if u got devices previously on srint on some acct somewhere u cant request it to b unlocked unless you have access to the acct the devices were on.. acct services need to b able to authenticate the acct to check its paid off and eligibe to b unlocked and to submit the unlock request/case.. wthout the security info they cannot access said acct..

the devices also need to have been on srint at least 50 days before being eligible for unlock.. note 10 hasnt been out that long even so that is another reason your note 10s are not eligible yet..

all carriers have some requirements.. if u have a shop n want unlocked devices you should purvhase from samsung and not a carrier..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
n10+ cant b unlocked unless requirements r met lol.. it hasnt been out 50 days yet.. theres no reason they shuld even submit a request when its not eligible yet.. whoever submitted it, i agree, didnt kno what they were doing..

there is an escalation process.. supervisors can reach out to the back office team to find out why an eligible device isnt unlocked and exedite it.. usually same day.. but there is 0 point in escalating it if it doesnt meet the requrements since the team that does it will say its not eligible for said reasons.. escalations are only for errors in the unlock process.. i.e. they say its not eligible when it is for example..

72hrs is the normal timeframe for an unlock.. acct services rep submits a case to have it unlocked given it is eligible i.e paid off, acct in good standing, been active at least 50 days... then the case goes to a back office team that only does unlocks all day.. they sometimes get swamped so when they get backlogged can take up to 5 days for an unlock..

honestly, if u spent hrs with no soutin that is in art ur own fault.. srints faut bcuz ignorant employees dont check the requirements and submit stuff when it will 100% not go through and the customers fault bcuz they have access to view sprints unlocking policy and shouldnt b tryna think they can somehow circumvent the requirements.. if its not eligible wat/do what u need to to make it eligible then call to have it unlocked.. if nt u will b "wasting hours" of your time.

att also has certain requirements to unlock a device.. so does tmobile.. so does verizon (although vzw is most lax) so not sure what everyones gripe is about sprints policy lol.. i can tye in att sim unlock or tmo sim unlock in a search and get the same or more complaints about their unlocking policies..

point is, meet the requirements or purchase unlocked from google.. or in some cases pay a third party service.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
not necessarily the uicc but yea, u gt the idea lol.. its locked if putting another carrier sim in if device is sim unlocked.. omce they unlock it server side it sends code to the device saying its unlocked at which itll then accet other sims..

sprint has a toolm called dna2. u put the imei in and it will display whether its locked or unlocked.. most res have access to this tool but only certain teas that process the unlocks have access to change it in the server to unlocked (at least with sprint)

third partes that can unlock devices have some level of access to the servers and can process it such as in tmobiles case..

there are other ways to do some type unlocks without server access or official means..

i mentioned before chimera tool for example has a feature for some devices called carrier relock. . instead of unlocing the sim it locks the device to up to 64 carriers which essentially is the same as sim unlocking the device.. i did it on a A102U for example and it worked all the same as a sim unlock
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
lol the msl code will not allow sim unlock.. not to mention if they made it that easy it would b a joke.. vzw samsung devices have same default msl code.. there are a few hiddenmenus that will ask for msl code tho
