[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] ptfdmedic:
This is common with oleds. It is what it is and while it's annoying, I've swapped out 4 times and each one had some degree of uneven tint. It's only noticeable on a gray screen. Night mode makes it more obvious. Hopefully when Android 10 drops and the new black out night mode (I believe) will make it sorta no longer an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] aslg:
Same problem but different pattern

I got my Tab S6 few days ago and I immediately noticed that the center of the screen is more bright than the sides.

I use the Tab S6 with the Night Mode on and the problem is visible in different apps (e.g. the Samsung Internet Browser) especially when the background color is a dark gray and the brightness level is around 25%.

Here are some pics that show very well the problem:

This is the Samsung Internet Browser with no tabs:

[IMG="Samsung Internet Browser with no tabs"]https://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=4915329&stc=1&d=1577844537[/IMG]

This is an image with all pixels with color = Red (0xF), Green (0xF), Blue (0xF)

I bought it from Best Buy and I can return it until Jan 14th. Do you think this is "normal' and I should keep it or should I replace it?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
If it looks acceptable to you and doesn't interrupt your viewing experience in anyway just keep it. It seems all the screens on the Tab S6 will have some sort of uniformity issues. Granted it's an oled thing but seems like Samsung used left over screens from the manufacturing process and jammed them in the tablets.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] malaga82:
Maybe 5g version will fix this issue?! ?

I saw last images and I can’t believe how bad it is.

Samsung must do better quality check on the screen, for me it’s just a mess.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] xQuantum:
Did they fix the problem in the new stocks for 2020? It's a big deal for me, it's a great tablet overall...

I think I'll buy the s4 or iPad Pro if this problem still exists even for the newer stocks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Fuzzz16:
I don't think so. S7 maybe with perfect screen...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] malaga82:
Fix is when you first address it as an issue...but if you don’t then you don’t need to fix it ?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] xQuantum:
I saw this problem in the one I tried recently, it's very bad and annoying especially with dark mode, I don't want to spend +$600 for this screen, I loved this tablet but this is a deal breaker for me.

Great tablet overall, I hope they will fix this problem later this year.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] fonix232:
I don't think it's a Samsung or OneUI-specific issue - my OnePlus 7 Pro has the same on seemingly uniform black backgrounds, especially in menus. However the issue itself is barely visible most of the time (I believe it's magnified in case of OneUI due to the many non-dark overlays, e.g. in the Settings menu options list), and is completely gone if seen on e.g. an actually completely black view presented by an app not using native elements (e.g. an EGL app using complete black which does not go through the same framebuffer optimisation as a native app control's surface).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Shocky2:
Well the issue stands out with OneUI in dark mode, it's not the cause, the problem is visible in any dark media, games, video, websites, anything.

Playing Galaxy on fire on my Tab S6 is painful, one corner is clearly darker, the display is $hit. :laugh:

im having the same issue . i came from indonesia. they replace my unit two times and still no good.

Welcome to the club, my second unit is almost perfect....my first tablet and my LAST samsung tablet...
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] kriskras7:
i want a refund. but i don’t know if they will agree with that. i am still complaining about the vertical banding on my second unit. their last suggestion for me is just waiting for android 10 update and see if the problem still exist or no. but i cannot wait much longer. i want a percect tablet even in dark mode. why i must accept to spend lots of money for unperfect device.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Fuzzz16:
Typical stupid service, there is nothing to do with software, it is hardware issue and in this case hardware is screen (panel) itself. My local service saw the issue right away and day later samsung paid money back. Then a hole week i was thinking and gave samsung another chance and they opened a box ,so we checked together is the new unit faulty or not, there were minor screen issue so I bought it...My another issue is the HDR content:crying:

White Uniformity - screen goes blue at edges Jelly effect or ??

I got a really good deal on a used Tab S6 from Amazon and I love the tablet but there is weird tinting thing happening on white screens.

When viewed slightly off-axis the tint goes blue.

Makes me nuts when reading NY TImes and edges of white screen are tinted blue.

The effect changes when viewed at different angles and seen without screen protector. It is tough to photograph but hopefully you can see what I see.

Ignore the moire in the middle of the first shot - that's a screen protector... Look at extreme edges of screen.

[IMG="Ignore moire - look at edge of screen"]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/49586077282_8ddcab62a0_w.jpg[/IMG]

Thanks and pardon me if this has been answered before - I've searched and couldn't find this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] Reuben_skelz92:
Looks normal for an oled at the angles you have shown
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] doggydog2:
omg what an ugly display... having same back bleeding. i use the device only at night, so i'm welcomed by those ugly bands/clouds every day. especially in OneUI night menus, or Plex. Didn't see this for a long while, i mean never, on any phone or tablet. Even my previous tablet, lol, Chuwi from 2014, doesn't have this defect. To be fair clouds existed on most notebooks and TVs (transition from Samsung to LG helped). But never saw it on mobile/tablet.

To test, you can get Display Tester run first test, swipe right to Dark grey (#333333) color and reduce brightness to ~10%.

the mystery of this post is first screen background is gray, the second one is pitch black.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] doggydog2:
warning - disturbing pictures

so the burn in test is also good. start from RGB (0,0,0) and move one color slider to the right slowly e.g. (0,10,0). You get this even with

100%

brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] zetsumeikuro:
Sadly the Android 10 update didn't do the trick and it still has the annoying uniformity issues in dark mode/darker colors. Oh well, just gotta learn to live with it since it's fine in all other regards.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] BCE111:
Xiaomi mentioned yesterday in their launch of the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G that they worked extensively to rework the camera algorithms to improve the camera performance, and that phone has the same cameras as these phones. I wonder if we'll be able to get that updated camera app for this phone either as a direct update through our phones or if there's somewhere we can get it outside of that. I'd like to try it. Seems like it would work straight up. Any improvements are gladly welcomed. :)
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] acervenky:
We'll eventually get the update either on stable MIUI 11 or a patch later on!

Sadly, after updates to PIE.. samsung remove call recorder (my CSC are XME). Becareful if you love call recorder function features then don't OTA update your phone	:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy M20 Questions & Answers] Punitverma2010:
Check in the call settings it's there.
[Samsung Galaxy M20 Questions & Answers] _TBD:
As previous statement said and everyone from certain CSC worries about. You are coming from CSC that is whitelisted.. so there is call recording. Unlike some CSC that still under check (how long?) allow or not. For EU, yes no call recording but for ASIAN i think only korea don't allow call recording and the rest is okey. This thread is to warn someone from certain CSC and in this case, not you.

don’t listen to anyone about heating, I’m a fan of MMORPG, I play every day for 2-3 hours in a row on the phone and all those who say the phone heats up to 50-52 degrees, this is not true, after 2 hours of play I have the phone warmed up 46 degrees, under the cover it feels like normal heating, I advise you to take this phone, you will not regret it
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] girishjangir7:
On charging does it go over 45 degree and what about gcam support????

And How much time does it require to charge as it is 18w charge ???

So, can someone describe the process of installing twrp?

My recomendation is not try to flash the custom recovery, only boot it if you want to install something like magisk

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:23 PM ----------

The custom recovery works only straight after flashing it and the first reboot. After the next reboot it gets overwritten by the stock recovery. Flashing magisk bricks the device, so back to fastboot and flashing the stock rom :eek: :(
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nicflack:

Someone released the ROMS so we can download... perhaps we can remove the recovery file/folder from the rom .zip before flashing.

Is there any way to even force unlock bootloader in Redmi Note 8 Pro? Mi Unlock tells me to wait 168 hours... I've read about EDL mode, but I don't know how to do it without special EDL cable or dismantling the phone. Without that I cannot even flash global ROM.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zendar79:
go to google and insert "xiaomi note 8 pro fastboot" inside search field. Take a look at xiaomigeek dot com page result, title is: "How to Boot into Fastboot Mode on any Xiaomi Phone".

You've tried so hard to be funny, but you failed so much :( Do u even heard about bootloader lock by Xiaomi? In my case I must wait whole week. Maybe next time your attempt to be sarcastic wont be so pathetic :)
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] zendar79:
I didn't mean to. I thought you were searching for a way to access EDL and then use terminal commands, when instead you were looking for unlock. My bad, sorry.

I'm new to xiaomi devices. Why they need so much to allow you to unlock?

EDIT: i tried all the steps. Now I'm on the same state: 168 hours before unlock
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] scandinavian_armor:
for bootloader unlocking on china roms, try the OEM UNLOCKING in developer option if its working. enable OEM UNLOCKING then request bl unlock.

you dont have to wait for days(you should not have requested yet) to unlock bootloader. this was tested working on redmi note 4 smapdragon and redmi note 7 china rom.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] chudy88:
when i type

fastboot oem unlock

or

fastboot flashing unlock

i got only

FAILED (Status read failed (Too many links))
fastboot: error: Command failed

and device restarts

If this would work and if it would be so simple, tools like XiaoMiTool V2 wouln't use Mi Unlock to unlock bootloader...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] scandinavian_armor:
Its not fastboot oem unlock. There is oem unlock in developer option(hence i seaid you need to log in your mi account)

Try this site https://c.mi.com/thread-1857937-1-1.html

You still need mi unlock tool but it will save you days of waiting for unlocking code.

Hi guys

I want to buy this phone, but I just hate MIUI, that's why I always went with SD for Xiaomi phones (learned my lesson with the Redmi Note 4 MTK). Have things changed regarding development for MTK devices? Will this phone have great support when it comes to cutom ROMs and stuff? I'd appreciate it if I could get an answer, otherwise I will go with regular Note 8 with SD 665. Thanks!

Hey! Twrp is replaced with stock recovery after reboot. Any solution to this?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] nakedowl:
I tested all versions of TWRP avaliable for RN8PRO and.....

If you flash it, then after 2 restarts it will come back to stock recovery.

You can access it but whatever you flash, will cause bootloop and you will have to flash original boot.img via fastboot to get it back to work.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] polfrank:
Why do they say in every post "flash and Enjoy"?

There are even some threads where they give directions on how to install magisk, which causes bootloop. Have these people even tried to follow the steps they are describing in their posts?

Is it worted to flash TWRP or wait couple months to get and see MIUI 11 ,until developers dont create ROMs and Kernel's and other stuff..?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] donkyshot:
For now flashing twrp doesn't seem to be even working. Even rooting seems to be impossible at the moment, someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] TrNaSe:
You are correct, i needed to wait for the unlock of my bootloader. Now my data is gone, so i have to set up my phone again.

But i thought it is worth it if i have my phone fully ready with root. But i tried different recoveries i found online, and none do anything, i get directly the stock recovery.

So i still cant install magisk and use root. (not that root was that much needed with it is pretty open already) but i need it for adblock and for titanium backup..

So is twrp not working, or they made a new change so we can't easily unlock our phones anymore? (i also just updated to the latest cloud update from miui)

edit:

in the telegram group they said to first do: fastboot boot recovery.img so it will boot into twrp recovery, and then from there you install twrp again so it is permanant, only in my case it will just reboot normally after and even with pressing down button it stays in stock recovery

can you test it if it works for you?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] bilshow:
HOW TO FLASH TWRP FOR THE FIRST TIME

Bootloader should be unlocked before going into these steps

Install minimal adb & fastboot tools on your PC

1. Copy twrp.img file into minimal adb & fastboot folder...also into your phone's Sdcard.

2. Goto fastboot mode by long pressing volumeUp+PowerButton.

Phone boots into fastboot mode. Now Connect your phone to pc.

3. Open cmd/powershell in minimal adb& fastboot folder.

4. Now in the cmd type fastboot boot twrp.img

Now your phone boots into TWRP.

5. From booted TWRP, goto Wipe>FormatData>type YES.

6. Now goto Install and select your twrp.img from your sdcard and flash it targeting RECOVERY.

7. Goto Reboot>Click recovery.

Your phone again boots into TWRP.

Now you have TWRP installed.

DONT REBOOT INTO SYSTEM NOW ELSE YOUR TWRP WLL BE REPLACED BY STOCK RECOVERY.

8. To keep twrp forever, Flash disable-force-encryption-treble zip file.

Above file also installs magisk. So, if you dont want root, flash magisk uninstaller next after flashing above file.

9. Finally reboot into system.

NOTE: do it at your own risk.

Flash latest fastboot rom of your device if something goes wrong.
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] polfrank:
Have you tried this? These instructions have been posted many times and we know that:

1. fastboot boot recovery.img command doesn't work with this phone(at least with the Chinese version)

2. Flashing the disable-force-encryption-treble zip file causes bootloop.

Is it different for you?
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Guides, News, & Discussion] TrNaSe:
I finally did it and then i saw your explenation, but at step 2 you need to pres volume - to get into fastboot

What i did:

Step 1: adb and fastboot, and I placed the recovery.img in the folder

Step 2: Rebooted phone into fastboot (can done with volume - and power) or with adb command: "adb reboot bootloader" when phone is android.

Step 3a: I typed the command: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img (to install recovery)

Step 3b: I typed the command: fastboot boot recovery.img (to boot in recovery)

I did both these just to make sure, but perhaps just 1 of the above works as well)

Step 4: fastboot reboot recovery (if you only choose step3a) , with step 3b it will reboot a few seconds after enter.

Important: When the phone reboots, press now the volume + button, this is to get into recovery!

After this i finally hard twrp recovery.

Step 5: Install in twrp again the twrp recovery (recovery.img) onto the recovery partitition (to keep it forever, i mounted the phone to place it on the internal disk)

Step 5B: reboot into recovery (and it did)

Step 6: Install magisk 19.3 (for root)

Step 7: Reboot into system and I was rooted!

Some guides tell to format data, I didn't because I didn't want to set EVERYTHING up again after losing it with unlocking bootloader

But everything works, if I will run into issues I will update this message.

I also didn't install the: disable-force-encryption-treble zip file. because in telegram groups and other guides they also don't talk about it.

Files I needed after unlocking bootloader:

ADB drivers + fastboot

Recovery from 1st post

Magisk 19.3
