Use a matte style screen protector
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Accessories] 23598685:
matt screen protectors do not work, you will get glitter like hell. Tried two different brands with the same result.

Easier to adapt and use what you have...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Accessories] alfredtv:
Just sharing that I purchased: Carez [Anti-Glare] Matte Screen Protector for Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 10.5 and it does give more of a paper feel when using the pen. It also, unfortunately, dims the screen some but I'm more of an office user vs. media.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers] Mr. JAVI:
Dr. Ketan's rom in the link is for a Samsung Exynos 8895 Note 8 and therefore wouldn't be compatible with U.S. Note 8 Qualcomm Snapdragon 835 chipset. Seems that America "the land of the free" has become the land of the locked bootloader. As for rooting the Sprint Note 8 on Pie, to my knowledge a successful root method has not been achieved. Perhaps VMOS and /or VirtualXposed are alternatives that might provide some root capabilities on a non-rooted devices. If someone find this to be helpfull, you can hit me up with a like. Thanks

Mod edit: Thread closed on request of OP. Oswald Boelcke, Senior Moderator

I recently got a moto g7 and lately Google play services has used tons of data and I have no idea why. I have disabled background data use, but it seems to do nothing. I did go on a trip to a place with no wifi, but even back home it uses data. Is there any way to stop/fix this?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Sterben Pistole:
I've been trying to downgrade from the latest pie release but I always get the same error due to how Samsung has blocked bootloader downgrades. Is there anyway around this or am I stuck on Pie?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] nemesisexsp:
You are probably stucked because you upgraded to the latest bootloader:

Here's a workaround:

Backup your present baseband on TWRP, flash ALEXNDR Oreo's ROM then restore your baseband, otherwise you won't have mobile signal and your IMEI will be unknown.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] panchovix:
So in theory the only way to downgrade to Oreo or less, is having the bootloader unlocked with TWRP right? if not, you're stuck
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Droehnemeier:
No Bootloader downgrade. Not possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] cantenna:
Why would you want to downgrade anyways?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] nemesisexsp:
I can't speak for the OP but for me it is more battery friendly, has better perfomance, allow me to debloat more apps than PIE and has better mod/theme support and looks better (didn't like Pie UI).
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] tim455:
Quick question for you [MENTION=3835106]nemesisexsp[/MENTION] as you seem to know what you're talking about.

I'm in the same boat as OP. attached is my SOFTWARE INFORMATION section with my baseband and whatever. Slightly different to what you've posted on your screenshot.

Can you suggest which files I should use from the ALEXANDR Oreo Mod selection? also, just the ROM, or do i need to do something with the BL files also?

I'm rooted (with TWRP), so that shouldn't be any issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] nemesisexsp:
I suggest you flash the last Oreo ROM available for the S8 model (SM-G950F/FD). After you flash it you can boot normally in the ROM and see if your mobile signal is fine, if it isn't just restore your PIE baseband on TWRP.

Here's the original post in _alexndr thread where you can find the ROM link:

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] tim455:
Thanks for the quick response.

I made backups via TWRP just incase, but it looks like everything worked. [see image]

Thank you :)

It's also got me thinking...

-could you install other custom roms that are Oreo-based?

-What makes Alexndr's rom special?

-Is it technically possible to install stock oreo?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] nemesisexsp:
I think you can install other ROMs. I just suggested _alexndr because it's as close to stock as possible as the OP was trying to flash via Odin. But i believe that we can't install older firmware via Odin due to the updated bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] tim455:
Yes, many thanks.

I was trying to get as stock as possible but only found a NOTE8-to-S8 rom and nothing else stock-y. This seems perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Robborboy:
Because Pie is absolute trash on the S8 Active. Battery life went way down hill, constantly stutters like the CPU is loaded or it is thermal throttling, notification screen blanks preventing you from see any in the bar. Tapping notification doesn't always open. They ruined the camera UI. Control via bluetooth doesn't work anymore(forget the name but used to when I started my car it would automatically open Pandora and play. Instead now I have to unlock the phone and open Pandora manually".

I only wouldn't be surprised if it come out later that Samsung pulled and able and deliberately crippled devices to encourage upgrades. Joke's on them because my upgrade will be a different brand.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] memon01:
Guys,

My org uses goodlink (good.com) as the email service provider not microsoft's push mail. I recently upgraded to a tilt and changed the rom promptly to schapps latest release.

The way the good software works is that it adds its own software stack (email/contacts/calendar etc) which syncs to the my outlook. The problem this creates is that my contacts do show up (the right softkey button leads to contacts which are the goodlink contact list) but are not connected to my dialer.

To be able to use smart dialling i then have to manually sync my phone to my computer to copy the contacts again which is a pain. My previous phone was based on windows 2003 whose dialler showed the goodlink contacts directly.

If there are any ideas or suggestions please let me know.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] parleyp:
This is not what is supposed to happen. I use GL too. If you sync with Active synch eventually, you will end up with duplicate contacts. Sometimes it takes a bit of time for this to occur. This applies to GL 5. In 4.9, I had to do exactly as you are stating...synch only the contacts with active synch.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] MustBNuts:
interestingly, I have a post regarding Good Mail. I found that using the XDA Live 3.0 (WM6.1) with the reTOUCHED dialpad, my contacts, while in the phone mode, linked to my Lotus notes contacts, not my local ones.

If I'm understanding you correctly, this is exactly what you want to happen (exactly the opposite of what I want to happen on mine).

I have 5.0.3.23 good mail with the above and it works the way you want yours...

Good luck,

MBN
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] parleyp:
With 5.0 the contacts are shared. If you sync with active sync, they will be duplicated because you are already syncing the mail server. GL 5 takes over much more of the system than past versions. I have found no way to change its behavior at all. If I make changes, it has protections in it that undoes the changes.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] memon01:
thanks for the help guys. I got on IT's case and changed my GL version to 5.0 and a hard reset and the installation of the retouched dialler everything is now working exactly the way i want it. Thanks guys!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] memon01:
Have you tried using Microsoft Voice command with Goodlink contacts? in my search for a solution i found a thread on another forum which said that voice commands/dialling wont work with goodlink contacts and we will have to sync them again. Im going to be trying it anyway but just wondering if somebody has already done the effort.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] jfor26:
I can also vouch for that. I am the good admin at my org and the latest 5.0.4.46 works quite nice with outlook contacts and allows for smart dialing.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] parleyp:
I use voice speed dial and it works with GL 5 owning the contacts without doing a sync via active sync. Haven't used MS VCMD so ymmv.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] parleyp:
I just wish I could talk my IT guys into a longer wait period before locking the phone...30 minutes kind of sucks when using the GPS...in a car. Any ideas for hacks? I haven't found any.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] rhino2000:
Just ugraded to carbonrom 7.

In tasker the cell near, using the new cell api, is not reporting back the whole cell identification when i scan, it's shortened to the first 3 numbers, usually there's 8 digits.

I'd like to keep using the new cell api, I've found it a lot more stable. On the 3g the phone seemed to switch towers a lot more often and I needed to keep adding towers for the first few months.

Is there maybe a setting somewhere I need to change to get it identifying the towers properly?

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] ~~Tito~~:
Placeholder thread for my future guide on how to install android on an EMMC. I have acquired a 256gb EMMC chip. Its arriving soon. I will be experimenting with it and sorting out and identifying the issues that might come along.

If you are interested, feel free to provide input. My end goal is to run android, linux on the NAND natively in order to avoid the bottle neck an SD card might provide.

I have two ideas:

One is to replace HOS with android on the nand while running HOS via emummc/emunand. This is so android utilize the read/write speeds a nand chip can provide.

The other is to partition the EMMC to run both HOS and Android natively. Since this will severely reduce the amount of space available for HOS. Going this route would probably require a bigger EMMC chip. I purchased a 256gb chip just to try this. I don't think you would need much more than 124gb. Especially if you will be saving all your ROMs and games to an SD anyways.

I’m going to attempt the second idea first since thats what I would prefer. Although the first may be more attainable for most since it will be easier and not require another emmc chip.

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] trohn_javolta:
While I'm really interested how this turns out I'm asking myself if the speed difference vs a good micro sd card is that big.. Switch has UHS-1 support right?

Of course I know in theory emmc is faster than micro sd card but in practice it may not make that much of a difference. I asked myself the same question back when I got my odroid hc2 single board computer. It has both a connector to add a emmc module and a micro sd card slot. I went with sd card. I read that in this case it comes down to the random read/write speed and at least in my case that didn't differ that much on sd card vs emmc.

Still, go for it, I wanna see how it turns out :)
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] ~~Tito~~:
I am mainly concerned with data integrity. An OS can perform 1000s of read write operations. Would rather run everything off of the EMMC to avoid burning out my SD card prematurely.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] singing-potato123:
Ha, that is exactly what I asked Bylaws several weeks ago.

I mean I am not banned but I either use CFW (EmuEMMC - SD card), L4T (Sd card), Lakka (Sd card) or android (Sd card)

EMMC is just sitting there. It wouldn’t be that difficult and you would have faster speeds, the EMMC is very fast, and you would get to use the SD card slot as an actual Sd card slot! If you find a way, please share. :)

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] ~~Tito~~:
It might. Thats what I’m hoping to do. My console is banned so i’m not at risk, but once I’ve sorted out the process. I’ll be putting disclaimers out there.

This whole process provides a huge ban risk so if you buy an emmc chip. Do so at your own risk.

(i forget the name of the chip but you'll find it ^^)
​
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] dudemo:
The problem here is that the Switch's NAND has hidden partitions that lock the NAND chip to the hardware. You will need to figure out a way to copy these partitions off your old NAND chip and write it to the new NAND chip. It can and has been done, however partitioning for Linux/Android/HOS has not.

I think you'll find this useful: hxxp://pascoe.pw/2018/09/switchnand.html (replace hxxp with http)

If you pay attention at the end of the write-up, you'll see information for resizing the HOS partition. Meaning you could theoretically partition the NAND for all three.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] ~~Tito~~:
Thanks for the info! I’m hoping that all that is needed is to write some images to a few properly appropriated partitions and some configuration here and there.

L4T, and android call to different partitions and sector counts. So right now the biggest hurdle would be to change how each os finds its corresponding partitions.

I know the hekate ini setup can probably direct where the os boots, but then the os itself might not have a clue. Especially since everything so far has been configured to run off the SD.

I’m playing around with how to modify each boot.scr to point to a different partition. Some others on gbatemp are familiar, but I haven’t dug too deep yet.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] ~~Tito~~:
Thanks for the link. Since we would need the board that connects the EMMC to the switch. I'd preferably only want to promote the full unit(The board and the new EMMC already soldered to it.). Some on here might be technically savvy, but it might be too daunting of a task to also have to solder on a chip to a small board(This is the case for me lol). Especially if they elect to use their own EMMC board as the donor board. I hope that eventually a seller on alibaba sells those boards, but I haven't looked. I just wanted to buy a premed unit.

For those that might already have the equipment and skill to put this together. It's good to know that parts can still be sourced. Some might even offer their services to others. I've seen that being mentioned here and there on gbatemp. So its not out of the question.

I bought mine as a full unit from a seller on bonanza.com. I don't know if the price is really worth it though. Here's the link if any are interested.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] trohn_javolta:
I think it depends on how the os is configured, for my sbc I use armbian (debian base) running from sd card. It's optimised to reduce wear on the sd card. But idk how it is on android. I guess there's good reason why android runs of off emmc rather than sd cards on the majority of devices (except speed).

I didn't know that there's a board for the emmc you can "just" clip on, this makes it interesting again :o ...But the set you linked is rather pricy :eek: It's crazy if you think about it. In china you can get a 128gb emmc module for 20 usd :rolleyes:

If there'll be such set available with 64gb (I guess that should be enough?) for like 50 usb and some sort of script for partitioning the emmc that could be run off the sd card then I'm all in :laugh:

[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] Selim873:
This is perfect for my needs! I revived my dock bricked Switch by replacing the USB-DP controller chip, so I have nothing to do with it now since I had already transferred everything to my working console, so I want to use it exclusively as an Android device for games and apps lol I can't do much of anything to help but good luck!

EDIT: Oh, this is an important question. Would I still require RCM mode? Or will powering on the Switch boot directly to Android with this method? I want to avoid using payloads for regular use. I assume not since the console's hardware boots straight from EMMC
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] ~~Tito~~:
You will most likely still need to boot from a payload in order for this to work. Unless hekate gets rewritten to support booting from the EMMC chip itself. Not sure if you can set it up as an SD and boot drive.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] zachycatgames:
Injecting a payload will be required. Booting directly is impossible unless you somehow get Nintendo to sign a copy of hekate with their private key or install a modchip.
[Nintendo Switch News, Guides, Discussion , Develop] ~~Tito~~:
Looks as though booting android/linux off EMMC is a bit more complicated than I thought. I'll have to compile a custom boot.scr binary, and add EMMC entries to the dts portion of the boot process? Once I have built that I'll add them to the thread for others to use.

A ton of this is super new to me and I'll have to do more digging. I also did find that this has been tested before by the switchroot team. Which is good news. Right now the android images have been written to their respective partitions and are primed for booting.
