[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] dev v:
Hello!

I am using a SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 8 Exynos Version 64 gb SM-N950F running on 1 October security patch.

I am waiting for a fix but nothing seems to be fixed.

To explain Black crush in few words: Area with Black pixel where it should show shadow gradient.

Colour Banding:

Gradient colour are not transforming smoothly into another one.

My phone's screen is ridiculously bad to even look at after this. Because let me get straight i bought this to see beautiful AMOLED screen; not to see this bloched screen.

Anyone facing this issue please comment below as it will be helpful.

And please note that a screenshot will not identify this problem as other display's on earth are perfect. So you have to take photo with a camera of your NOTE 8.

I have attached some photos with links to explain it better. This is happening as well as with gradient wallpapers but i can't get focus even on my crappy G5 plus camera.And looks so much worse in real world.

Here is a link from a XDA thread to show how bad it looks and what is exactly happening here.The post is by GALAXY s9 user which is exact same problem for my GALAXY NOTE 8 now...Weird!

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/help/crazy-color-banding-black-crush-t3904539/amp/

Thanks to SAMSUNG Customer Care India for replacing my display BUT the problem still persists. I can't even use this phone on regular basis. I am using my broken G5 Plus. Atleast the screen is not that messed up.

Please SAMSUNG fix this ASAP.

Link for Samsung community thread:

https://r2.community.samsung.com/t5...-on-GALAXY-note-8-SM-N950F/m-p/2963553#M93488

And yes i tried safe mode,disable video enhancer. Those things have nothing to do with this... It's the SAMSUNG who can fix this.

Please comment below if you have this issue.

I recently encountered big trouble when unlockin m'y A2.

When in deep sleep mode, pressing touch ID and power Burton didn't wake UP the phone. The only way to unlock was to plug a charger in usbc port.

I finally rémind that it occured since I dropped some water on it 6 months ago.

One week ago, I finally sprayed contact cleaner in the usbc port and MIRACLE, EVERYTHING WORKS FINE

Just not being able to find the soft reset hole on my diamond. Can anyone guide me where it is? The 2 holes just near the mini usb jack doesn't seem to be the reset holes. I tried putting stylus in both of them but it doesn't reset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aragornol:
what about reading a manual before asking such an obvious and easy to self find questions ? what are manuals for geese ... when you have closed back lid ... take out stylus and look for RED button near the entrance of stylus "hole" ... when you have opened back lid you can do the same... remember button is red !!! it`s even written next to it RESET
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] batista70:
Put off the stylus and look inside, you will see a little red point, it's the soft reset.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
You shouldnt be so hard on him.. most devices have some little hole and its not under the stylus, and the diamond doesnt have a printed manual.. you have to find the pdf manual on the CD.

Or maybe you're right and i'm just in a really good mood because my diamond is arriving today lol
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aragornol:
ye i know but i think thats not about skilled ornon skilled user, about technical or non technical user. When he managed to turn on computer, log here and write question he should do put in CD and read as well. :P btw enjoy your Diamond :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] schauol1:
I had this little "booklet" in my Box with some tipps and tricks to get you started... the "reset-button" is described pretty well. :) but that might not be included everywhere... :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] s_kates81:
I've been using PDAs since long time, this soft reset button is the first I find it that much buried inside. I don't think anybody can find it without actually reading the manual. I guess now a days not many guys reading manuals before starting use any phone. Common sense prevails !
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] aragornol:
yess exactly common sense !! :) and you know what - I did figure it out 3 minutes after taking out of box and pulling out stylus to find out there is such a red button :) as well as I do not try to push stylus into hole (one of which you probably desrcibed - next to USB connector) that have VOID (warranty void) STICKER inside ... but I do not blame you ... just wish each user should read a little bit or look little bit more before asking foolish questions though I do now want looks like blaming you ...

yeah, pulling out the stylus is hard work! :)

I have tried over and over again to unlock the bootloader.

I've signed into my Mi Account, the same on both my PC (Mi Unlock Tool) and phone.

I installed the Xiaomi driver.

I click unlock, and then it gets to 99% before saying Unknown error (-1)

I've tried on two PCs, one AMD Ryzen 2nd gen, one Intel Core 6th gen.

After trying on the Intel PC, the phone is no longer detected by the Mi Unlock Tool, on both PCs

What version? Try to another.

I've tried Mi Unlock versions 3.5.1108.44 and 3.5.1128.45

Any recommended versions?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] mar.ur:
Try to 2.3.XXX

Check if your phone(fastboot mode) is detected in device manager as well.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] capitalists:
My phone always shows up on device manager as Android Bootloader Interface.

Whenever I connect my phone while MiFlash is open, the phone instantly exists the bootloader, but stays on the bootloader if I reconnect it.

Edit: I also tried MiFlash 2.3.803.10, but my phone is not detected there either.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] capitalists:
IT FINALLY WORKED when I disabled device signature enforcement on Windows.

Thanks for the help guys.

EDIT: IT DIDN'T BLOODY WORK. The unlock tool said successfully unlocked. When I check on the phone and through typing 'fastboot oem device info'

it said the phone was not unlocked.

EDIT #2: All of a sudden it just worked on my Intel PC with the newest version of Mi Unock

[T-Mobile LG G6 Questions & Answers] Globespy:
I managed to go through the main process using the patched version of LGUP - took a while but got there.

But then I ran into the issue many have faced wit TWRP wanting a password and despite doing everything by the book (FWUL etc), I got stuck in this awful loop where android kept erasing itself.

I decided to install orangefox which actually boots to recovery every time, but now I can't get Magisk to install!

Anyway, I simply cannot get the APK to install (7.4.0) and have ensured that I have given 'unknown apps' permission.

It seems to be installing but then just says "app not installed".

I've tried everything, even older versions but cannot get installed, so cannot get root.

Appreciate some help getting this to work as it's much nicer than TWRP

Thanks.

.

My A205G just tried to push me the November security update [ A205FXXU4ASK2 ] - I declined it for now,

because I assume there is no Root or TWRP. Does anyone know what the update does or fixes ??

Cheers.

================================================

* UPDATE *

12/07/2019

I have since updated to the newest firmware/security patch. I want to report that BOTH Root and Twrp now work

100% with the latest firmware [ A205FXXU4ASK2 ] which will take you to Nov. I am not sure exactly what has

been changed or improved, but there definetly are no issues to report. All runs fine and very smooth. Just be extra

carefull if you update that you follow the CORRECT guides here in our A20 section. You must use the guides for

the [U3][U4] firmware and always make a backup first.

Good luck to all.

Hi, it seems search bar is locked in place on this device (Android 9 Pie). There is no obvious option to disable it.

It is the issue for a while already http://forum.cubot.net/viewtopic.php?t=1160

Did anyone find a solution how to remove it from the Home screen?

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] voncrane:
I recommend just installing a third party launcher instead. I too found no easy way to remove it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ineedroot69:
it's a fixed position widget starting from Android 8

sadly the only way to remove it is third party launcher ...
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PegasuSeyar:
I had this problem too. Like said above, the problem is solved immediatly with a third launcher. I've taken Nova Launcher and it works perfectly.

Otherwise, if you don't want to install another launcher, you can try this method : https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/

For a complete lists of your package, you can use the app : "App Inspector" on the playstore.

I did this for all google app. For the search bar, it didn't work fully but it was better than without this tip. I read that, for some people, it worked fully.

Hope you will succeed to remove it! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urpi_:
Thank you, using Nova Launcher was the best choice in the end.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PegasuSeyar:
Happy that it worked for you too!

There is no special topic about this phone, does it work well for you?

I have it since last october ,it works pretty good! I would like to root it but I don't find a safe way to do it. I found some tip on german or russian forum but I don't speak those langages and the google trad is very approximative...

Do you find something to root it safely? ANd does this phone great for you? :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urpi_:
I saw some guides but I didnt try to root this phone because I dont have a need for it, especially since the phone is already stock Android 9 where you can simply use adblocking DNS from within the Network settings.

Im generally satisfied with it, but proximity and finger sensors tend to misbehave sometimes, maybe its too sensitive to dust or dirt, I dont know.

My phone has V11 firmware, no updates available through the update manager, but there should be V13 available.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PegasuSeyar:
yeah it's true that you can replace a lot of root's features with third app's with this phone but it will be cool for me to have full access for more fun! Like totaly uninstall some apps useless for me, more customisation etc etc...

But it's really cool like it is now!

With mine : I don't have trouble witj proximity sensors but fingers sensors react weirdly, indeed. I think your hypothesis is the answer : it's too sensitive to dust and dirt.

The light sensor is a little bit weird too, but I think it's due to an android feature : user'shabits learning. Weird at the beginning, but works good after.

In my case, I have the V13 firmware (install directly via Cubot's website). I don't think it will be more update later...

One question : Do you know if this phone works well in USA? I see that it has some US's band so I think so , but I would like a confirmation :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urpi_:
I received message from Cubot support that there are no significant or important changes in V13, so I'll leave it at that.

I also noticed phones behavior and sensitivity of sensors has changed over time, maybe it's that habit learning you mentioned..

I'm in Europe, so I can't say if it works in US. Shouldn't be too hard to find out.

I'm generally satisfied with this phone, as I tend to drop it a lot (relatively speaking) and it holds together well, and the software support+performance is satisfactory as well.

:)

[MENTION=6039106]urpi_[/MENTION] > Thanks for the feedback :)Happy to share with a Quest's owner, there aren't many :p

Like you, I've dropped it sometimes and the shakeproof it's real! I haven't test yet the waterproof. I will do it this summer :cowboy:

In very good points, I found GPS, Wifi and bluetooth respond very quick and well!

For the GPS, even in a remote location, the Quest fixes very quick

And the blutooth works very well with my earplug, even in running.

For the price, it's a very good smartphone, I'm happy with it too :)

Since when do you have this phone? I have it for 5 months nearly.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urpi_:
I'm using it about 3 months now.

One thing that annoys me sometimes is a side button...I dont know how to disable its long press fucntion that activates Google assistant.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PegasuSeyar:
That's one of the reasons I would like to root it. Like you, this functionnality annoys me, although this button is very usefull . It's too bad that we can't configure it like we want and with a root, it would be possible.

For now on, I don't find a tip for changing this long press function. Maybe someone will read this thread and will have an solution :)

If I found something , I will share it here ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urpi_:
Yeah, I have used Key Mapper ( https://github.com/sds100/KeyMapper ) to change normal press (no root required) but I haven't found a way how change long-press behavior. Perhaps it's possible with Key Mapper too, and I just didnt find it?? Maybe. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PegasuSeyar:
[MENTION=6039106]urpi_[/MENTION] > Thank you for the share, I will try it and search too if we can do something for long press configuration! :)

But for the normal press, you can already choose any application in settings. So, what does keymapper moreover? :)

Otherwise, about the fingerprint sensor:

I re-saved my fingerprints but differently :

Without perfectly clean up the sensor, like "out in the pocket" 's mode ( :p ) and with the "soft" part of the finger.

Before I saved it with the very extremity of the finger. This time, I used this "soft" part (a little bit under the top extremity of the finger) and with the finger kept flat.

It works pretty better now! Maybe it could make it work better for you too :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urpi_:
Im pretty satisfied with the fingerprint sensor now, but yeah it can be probably fine-tuned to work better with this phone, like you said.

You can choose any application for normal (side-key) press, but I wanted to map it to something other than applications. :)

I used KeyMapper to make it a Pause/Play key for media.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PegasuSeyar:
So I tried this app and I think I found for the long press mode.

When you are on the window for creating a new macro, clik on "more" and then choose "long press"

After,you click on "record trigger" and push the button you want to configure, then choose the action you want.

I tried for launching an app, it worked well :)

But I tried for togglethe torch and it crashed the app. ANd then, the app didn't work at all, I had to reinstalled it :(

Hope it will help you :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urpi_:
By the way, can you tell me what does "Data protection" setting do exactly? I see it under Security & location - Advanced menu.

I know it asks for a security entry pattern, but what for? Phone is supposed to be encrypted by default.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PegasuSeyar:
Yeah good question! I wonder too and I never enter a pattern for this. I think it is an android protection by default, but there are another protection too. By the way, I think there is too much protection :p

Other subject : I had a security upate nearly by september, I found the fingerprint and thbe camera respond much better. DO you feel that way too?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urpi_:
No update available for my phone. Still at February security update from 2019. :rolleyes:
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PegasuSeyar:
Strange, maybe you should visit the official website? If you do this, be careful : I've done the update via this way because the direct OTA way didn"t work. If the OTA's way is just an update; via the official website, it's a total reset, so, backup before doing this way ;)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urpi_:
Yeah, that's why I am hesitant to do it, I see there is V14 out already, but it is 'minor bug fixes' release, so it's probably not worth the time on the fully installed and configured phone. Android 10 update would be nice to have though. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PegasuSeyar:
Yeah it would be so cool! A couple days ago, I emailed Cubot about this. But no answer...

Maybe I should write the mail like a salesman, not like an user of their phone : with a lot of great arguments to do this update! :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] urpi_:
Good idea. :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mman1982:
Hi,

I asked Cubot about Android 10,and said there will be NO update. I am using v14,but there is no noticable fixes. Security patch level is the same as v11,so this is not an update. Fixes nothing.
