Hi,

I have strange GPS issues on at least two of my Android phones, so I assume this is not phone related.

For the last few (1-2?) weeks I am facing severe GPS fixing issues. I first noticed it on my old Samsung Galaxy S4 mini with LineageOS which I have been using as my car navigation system for more than 2 years without ever having GPS issues. It has always acquired a great GPS fix within 1 minute even after being switched off for weeks. Now it often takes 10-15 minutes to acquire at least a bad GPS fix (3 Sats) which enables me to navigate with Google Maps. Sometimes when driving for a long time, it eventually goes up to 7 satellites.

I thought the phone was broken, but then I checked with my Redmi 4X (santoni) which also has a great GPS. But I am facing similar issues on this phone. It sometimes takes several minutes to get a GPS fix. It receives 15-20 satellites for several minutes without getting a fix, then it gets a fix and the number of received satellites drops to 8-10 (which is OK but not good).

As both phones which had a great GPS before are now having these problems, I do not know the root cause of the problem. Maybe problems with AGPS? Problems with Goole Play Services? A colleague told me yesterday that he has been facing similar problems on his Android phones for the last 2 weeks. Anyone else having similar problems?

My phones tested:

Samsung Galaxy S4 mini, LineageOS (latest official build, I think 14.1)

Xiaomi Redmi 4X, Xiaomi.eu 10.3

Both worked great before...

Will test my obsolete Asus Z00ED this weekend but expect the same problems.
[General Questions and Answers] Droidriven:
What you are describing seems like it might be an issue with the system in your area/region. An issue that is somehow external to the devices, not an internal hardware/software issue.
[General Questions and Answers] jdr_85:
Thanks for your reply. On Thursday I tested my old Asus Z00ED as car GPS. It fixed 16 satellites within half a minute.... Probably I will just use that phone rather than the S4 mini. The screen is bigger and the phone is a lot faster anyway. Still I have to check why the santoni GPS is also much worse than the Z00ED and than it was before...
[General Questions and Answers] jdr_85:
Interesting. Yesterday I first used Strava to track my cycling and it told me that I did this trip in August 2000. Reading a little bit further here:

As the problem occured in November 2019 I am very sure that this idiotic GPS week rollover was the source of all problems!

Nevertheless, I switched the s4 mini to another one I had in my drawer with broken screen and stock ROM. And yesterday the GPS reception was f*ing good (24 satellites!) despite the rollover! Don't know why. For the moment I will leave it like that as it works. The Android version is very very outdated and I manually have to change the date in Strava, but I will live with that as the S4 mini is perfect for using it as a bike GPS...

Hi, as the title says, after flashing the stock ROM I've lost the play store certification and I can't use certain apps.

Is there a way to recover that certification or is it lost forever?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ShaDisNX255:
Try to deactivate OEM unlock from developer settings. That'll probably help
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7585541:
hi, it worked, i've got my play store certification. The thing is I still can't use some apps,(such as Samsung Pay or Google Pay), and i don't think it's due to the phone tbh. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tdevaughn:
Did you root your phone? If so, those apps won't work on a stock rom
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Deleted member 7585541:
I tried installing a custom rom and failed with bootloop and went back to stock with no root. I thought this might be the problem but i filed a ticket to google. They said to me that Google Pay is not released yet in Romania, but I have friends who use the app, pretty strange..
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] tdevaughn:
Check your Knox status, if tripped you can't use the apps on stock rom

Power down the Galaxy S9 or the Galaxy S9+

Boot the Galaxy S9 into Download Mode

Look for the Warranty Void line in the top left corner

If it reads “0x0” then the warranty has not been voided

If it reads “0x1” then the Galaxy S9 Knox warranty has been voided
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] ShaDisNX255:
He might be able to still use Android Pay though. But Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass are lost forever until someone finds a work around, which is very unlikely.

yep, it's 1, i guess that's it then :D. Thanks for the replies guys :D

Hi,

I am on xiaomi.eu weekly Android 10.

My device cant boot to any recovery. I flashed them all (3.3.0, 3.3.1, 3.2.3 or PicthBlack)

I flash them all successfully but none of them opens, they all stuck at recovery logo screen.

If I format my userdata and cache, twrp opens,but I dont want to wipe data every week.

Why all recoveries stuck? Does anyone have an idea?

Last time I format everything, installed 3.3.1 and installed rom. It works but I still couldnt open any recovery. (fastboot boot .img or volume up + power has same results)

Hi all,

I just ordered the mi 9t pro, and i wondet what is the best rom for it. The EEA or global rom?

I live in France

Thank you
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Turbine1991:
Miui.eu for anyone in the world. It cuts out all of the bloat and a lot of Chinese specific apps as well as adverts.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] titou4488:
Thank you but between the two? What is the difference?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
It's not obvious if you're asking the difference between official MIUI and xiaomi.eu, or wanting the answer to the original question, so I'll answer both.

If you plan on sticking with stock MIUI, then stay with EEA, if you buy a European phone. There is no noticeable difference between global and EEA, so best and easiest to stick with the original ROM of the phone.

Xiaomi.eu ROMs are a custom ROM based on Chinese MIUI. They take the stock ROM and remove all bloatware and Chinese specific apps and anything that is not needed and safe to remove. They add dozens of language translations, to make it global, then add a few of their own tweaks and customisations.

They have been around doing this for almost as long as MIUI has existed, so they certainly know what they're doing.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] titou4488:
I will have a global version rom, do you think it's good idea to flash the EEA rom?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Questions & Answe] Robbo.5000:
If it's a global phone stick with the global ROM. If it's a European phone stick with EEA.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] seanteoh1999:
also are the bloatwares really bad for samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] casper.rilaun:
I'd go for OnePlus. Less bloatware, and OxygenOs is just amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Drakomord:
I asked myself the same question weeks ago, finally I took the S10+ instead of OnePlus..

My reasons why I choosed the S10+ instead of 7 or 7T by One+ :

- Jack port (audio)

- SD card port

- Ultrasonic fingerprint sensor

And I'm really in love with OneUI tbh, my boyfriend have a One+ 7 Pro and OxygenOS is great but I prefere OneUI, but still my personal taste! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] daLareid:
Kind of the same for me, I was going for the 256gb One+7 Pro but even that's not enough space. And yeah it lacks other features like the audio port, but imo if the storage is enough for you then the One is definitely a solid choice, if storage is an issue go with the S10+.

Accidentally bought an ATT carrier locked note 9 on ebay.

It was a good deal and would like to get it working on tmobile

Can someone tell me what my current options are

I have some experience with Odin.

Read on Reddit that requesting unlock code from ATT doesn't work as they give you an 8digit code and I need a 16 digit code

Obviously I would love a free solution but willing to pay to unlock the phone.

any recommendation to getting an unlock code? ALSO is there anything I should check before i buy an unlock code?

Sorry Im an old man still new to this stuff. Yah I know I messed up by buying a locked phone but I am hoping one of you will have some useful information. TY

FWIW I am build number ppr1 180610011 N960USQU2CSGA.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] darekz:
First I would do is to check if phone is not blacklisted.

swappa.com has a free check
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] HonestOtter:
TY used Swapa Not black listed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] darekz:
If is clean why not to request unlock code from att first. I think now they use app to unlock phone. Give a try.

More important are two issues that appear when using a non T-mobile Phone. T-mobile's Wifi calling ability cannot be installed later as far as I have been able to learn. It must be in the ROM installed on the phone. T-mobile calling Wifi calling uses your T-mobile number and acts as if the phone is recieving calls on a direct T-mobile signal.

The other is that T-mobile is rushing to add Band 71 (low frequency long range better penetrating) signals. There are some hiccups that require moving UHF TV stations in some areas, but the pace over the last two years has been impressive. See this updated map - https://coverage.lart2150.com/ Band 71 is important for T-mobile and can't be added if the hardware is not on the phone when bought.

All that said I did convert two Samsung Verizon S7's to boot as T-mobile phones two years ago. That didn't require new frequencies, etc. But can you do that on a Note 9?? I don't know and I think Band 71 Needs specific hardware. Better to sell what you have and get a T-mobile one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] HonestOtter:
Thanks, No go, the contract was not paid off.

I lots of people on ATT forum says they will not blacklist for unpaid contract phones. should I still pay to get it unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] HonestOtter:
Based on other posts it says bootloader Ver 2. SW= N960USQU2CSGA

Anyone know Is it possible to flash it with Odin to get Tmobile Functionality. I did it with a phone that was on bootloader 1.

Update: I decided to use unlockbase to unlock my phone. They had a good balance between cost and delivery time and many people on here have recommended them.

I am also downloading N960U1UES2CSI3 from sammobile to flash with the patched odin.

I will give an update if any of the above don't work or if I ever get blacklisted. If you don't see an update than assume all is good.

TY for the advice. Feel free to reply if there is a better option so others may benifit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] hankvb:
We never had problems with the two Verizon Galaxy S7's converted to a T-mobile ROM. If you get the functionality you need I would anticipate no problems!

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Coomer91:
Help a brother out bros,

I'm new to android, been using a Nokia 808 for the past 7 years, and Nokias in general since 2006. anyway I'm from a ****ty 3rd-world country with no official Samsung dealer, so we're stuck buying whatever these 3rd-party merchants provide, so I got what appeared to be a sealed, brand new Samsung S9 (it was the smallest device I could find with acceptable specifications, if it was 1 cm shorter, and 0.5 cm narrower it would've been perfect).

Shortly I noticed that some text is dark grey/black against a black background, which makes it very difficult to see; upon googling, I found out that the issue was fixed with a software update, so I looked through 'setting' for the update function, and immediately noticed, I was having difficulty find it, I thought it was weird to have it hidden like that; and again upon googling I found out that it's supposed to be in [Settings > System Update > Download and Install] it's not there. I can only find it by typing "system update" in the 'search' box, and even then touching "Download and install" did nothing, no feedback whatsoever.

Anyways upon further googling and googling, I came to the conclusion that the device is rooted and knox is tripped, now the problem is the product number of the device which caused me confusion, in the software and on sticker at the back of the device it states the following

SM-G960F

IMEI1: ***MOD EDIT-IMEI REMOVED***

IMEI2: ***MOD EDIT-IMEI REMOVED***

SN: ***MOD EDIT-SERIAL REMOVED***

MADE IN VIETNAM BY SAMSUNG

but when I got into Odin mode it states that the model number is actually SM-G960N. so my questions are:

1. if I were to flash back to an official firmware using odin should I use the one for SM-G960N or the one for SM-G960F? keeping in mind that this was peddled to me as dual sim device, and it does support two sim cards.

2. If my device is indeed Korean, is it okay if installed firmware with PDA: G960FXXU7CSJ1 instead of firmware PDA: G960NKSU2CSJ1? are there any differences?

3. is it possible to fix Samsung-related issues like the black text against black backgrounds through some other methods like using a different rom/launcher/environment or whatever?

4. how do you recommend I proceed? what would you do if you were in my place?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] effry:
According to your IMEI (that btw you should never share publicly), your phone is a SM-G960N. If knox is tripped, the only way to update the software is to flash through Odin. Since your phone is already rooted, i also advice you to check out some custom rom you can find in this forum. They're a nice improvement over the stock firmware.

if you want official firmware, you have to install one from this list

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s9/firmware/SM-G960N/
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Coomer91:
does installing a custom rom fixes/removes samsung-related issues like the dark text against black backgrounds?

what harm could be done if people knew my IMEI?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] effry:
If the custom rom is based on a samsung firmware that already fixes the issue then yes. For what i've found , your issue was fixed around of April 2019, so any ROM based on a firmware released after that date will include the fix.

Regarding the IMEI, you don't share it because is an unique identifier number. It's like giving out your ID card or passport number. Someone could impersonate you with your phone company and provide the IMEI as a proof.

[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Coomer91:
thanks for the answers effry, I do have one more though so bare with me.

the currently installed firmware is SM-G960Fblahblahblah (europe/worldwide), if I instead flash to official firmware from the SM-G960N (Korea) ones as you suggested, will that change the supported cellular bands? I live in Libya.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] effry:
Since you have now an "F" firmware, you could try first an SM-G960F ROM , then if you encounter issues i'd give a shot to the korean one.

For lybia the latest firmware is this:

https://www.sammobile.com/samsung/galaxy-s9/firmware/SM-G960F/BTC/download/G960FXXU7CSJ1/296419/

My theory is that your phone is an SM-G960N, but someone flashed an "F" firmware on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] Coomer91:
Just tried to flash the libyan (SM-G960F) firmware, it got stuck on system.img (odin said "secure check fail (bootloader)). anyways this what odin mode in my phone says

product code: SM-G960N

current binary: Custom (what does this mean?)

system status: Official (what does this mean in relation to "current binary: custom"?)

FAP lock: off

OEM lock: off

Secure Download: Enabled

Warranty Void: 1 (0x400)

what do we make if this? are there any other information you need?
[Samsung Galaxy S9  Questions & Answers] effry:
You have to enable OEM unlock in developer options , then retry flashing

Check very good you register to China region (NO HONG KONG)

Check you change region in the phone and in a moment register new ID (because the region return default)

Check very good you exit from your ID Huawei, and create new from the phone

You have a problem creation new ID China from the phone, uses a VPN app for connect to server China
[Honor Magic 2 Guides, News, & Discussion] Emare212:
Just log out on the phone under Settings > Huawei ID > Sign Out

Then go again to Settings > Huawei ID > Register

Just follow the process and choose the region. After you validated through your phone number and email address you are automatically logged in in your HUAWEI club app.
