[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Ruudfood:
I guess this being a Note 10+ forum the question is based on your experiences of the N10+ but I am coming from an S8+ and considering either the Note 10+ or the S20 Ultra. I get a new phone for work every 3 years and I'm due a new one soon. Ideally I'd wait for the Note 20+ (or whatever they decide to call it but Sept/Oct is too far away. So...

Note 10+ Pros:

Square edges (not a fan of the rounded corners of the S line even though I have one currently)

S Pen (I used to love it on my Note 4 all those years ago and will probably be using OneNote a lot more in the future)

Not as tall, heavy or bulky

Note 10+ Cons

No 5G (yes, I know there's a 5G variant but it's not an option for me with the models available through work)

No 120Hz (not a big issue right now but this tech will be ubiquitous from now and in 3 years my display will be stuttering!)

Slower processor (Exynos - ugh! I know it's the same on S20 U in Europe but the rumour is that Samsung will switch to Snapdragon in more regions)

LPDDR5 RAM on the S20 U (you might say it makes little difference and I will disagree with you!)

Camera (sure the quality is not that great on a S20U but that will no doubt be improved with software updates. The camera is not a huge feature for me but still...future proofing!)

Smaller battery (the extra has got to make a difference and I travel a lot so having a longer-lasting battery is important especially when it invariably starts to degrade after 2 years)

I'm leaning towards the Note 10+ as the pros of the S20 U over the Note 10+ aren't huge. I do wish I could wait for the Note 20+ though!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Venom0642:
You are better off with the Note10 Plus, S20 Ultra camera is horrible especially the focus, also focus most likely isn't a software bug, it's hardware, so Samsung can try to cover it with a software update but i don't think that will fix it, anyway the choice it's yours.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] _Dennis_:
7 hours screen on time is not a raw number, it is a derived number from......wait for it, running the device with the screen on. The mAh of the battery is a raw number, a number not derived from anything.

Good try though.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] _Dennis_:
I have both, and yes the S20U has some auto focus issues, but so far I like the camera set up better overall. The auto focus hunts a lot more than other cameras in phones, but there is always touch to focus and if you're used to a DSLR the auto focus isn't bad.

I never used my N10+ camera much, just didn't give me pictures I liked. I need to play with the S20U over the weekend to see if the pictures are better for me.

I think the updatesn(as with honestly every phone) between generations is small. I do like the size a little better on the S20U and the screen. Other than that the phones are very similar.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] coilbio:
Awesome! So it's a derived number that you're treating as a raw number.

If it's derived, then it's not always going to be 7 hours.

I doubt it'll be 7 hours and if is, it's by letting the screen do nothing in store mode but burn in the oled. Real life use is going to destroy that battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] jjayzx:
I find it funny that people think more pixels is better, there's a reason phones have been mainly around 12-16 MP. Physics, the aperture on phone cameras is too small to capture higher resolution than 12-16 MP. Anything more is just efficiency boost for low light conditions. So printing doesn't matter they will all come out the same. If you want to actually take good photos get a real camera, phone camera is supposed to be just in the moment quick snap.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] _Dennis_:
Please, explain exactly how a higher refresh rate will change stand by battery life? Because I'm certain the change will be only when the screen is on. But sure, its probably terrible battery life (mine is at 79% sitting with 0 signal for most of the last 6 hours with 30 minutes screen on time) because you think 7h of SoT in a battery rundown rest is absolutely terrible.

Two weeks ago I had the choice to get the galaxy note 10+ or the galaxy s20 ultra and i just went with the note 10+ which I just received on March 4 . Even though the s20 has a newer processor and has the 120Hz refresh rate I just couldn't leave out the s-pen which can come in handy when it comes to signing documents or editing photos or videos.

I went from a Note 9 to the Note 10+ and I'm happy with my purchase.

I think you made the right decision going for the Note 10 plus over the S20 Ultra.

I definitely did and after checking my device info for my phone which is the T-Mobile Galaxy Note 10+ 5G, it seems I got the snapdragon 855+ processor instead of the regular one, which is a bonus.

Excellent, but they kept that kinda ? quiet didn't they
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] mzsquared:
My conclusion to this thread subject: Note10+ weights 196 grams and S20 Ultra 222 grams so, for about 1 more ounce of a phone with faulty camera and old fingerprint sensor I was willing to pay almost $1000(512GB) and lose my Note 10+ as a part of the trade. Call it a temporary lapse of reason.(or worse)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] chetly968:
I've been pondering the unlocked 512gb version for the past few days. Unfortunately (luckily?) It's been out if stock for some time so I haven't parted with my money......yet.

Nice to see you here, enjoyed your mods back in the day :)

I'm also glad to get Note 10+ 855+ makes it snappier
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] papashex:
Amen to that. S20 reduced the edge curve, but blew it on the corners. Here's hoping next note goes to flat screen and keeps the square corners. That's a pass on the S20 btw.

My pleasure VICosPhi, and wow can't believe it's been like four years since I did any custom rom work done which i last left off on the galaxy note 5. :(

Looks like the S20's turning out to be a bit of a Turkey, what with it's 'autofocus' issues amongst others.

The much vaunted camera is being beat by the 'Note 10+' in a number of 'YouTube' comparison tests and has still not received a 'DxOMarks' rating yet, presumably because 'Samsung' are too embarrassed to submit it for one.

Whilst none of the 'S20' family was ever an option for me personally, I can't help the feeling of schadenfreude.

Maybe at last, 'Samsung' will appreciate that throwing new 'hardware' tech into the mix willi nilly, is self defeating without proper 'software' implementation.

We users have been trying to get the message across to 'Samsung' for years, that whilst we love their 'hardware' and the new innovations they constantly treat us with, it all amounts to disappointment and frustration (lost sales) without proper software implementation.

I just hope that they don't make the same mistakes with the upcoming 'Note 20', and that this 'S20' debacle serves as their Mea Culpa.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] j_hansen:
Don't forget to mention the insanely stupid pricing :)

SM-G960U with Android 9, Hardware version REV1.1

I have a few noob questions:

So what are the drawbacks of not tripping KNOX?

What are the drawbacks of a locked bootloader?

If I plan on getting a ZeroLemon extended battery case, will that too have only 80% capacity? Or only the internal battery will be limited?

What does MTP do? What are the drawbacks of MTP not working?

What have been the issues reported? I would choose a rooted phone over one with selfie cam but what are those issues reported?

Please provide a link to the SM-G960U thread.

Also, I found this link which claims to be able to root SM-G960U:

https://www.rootdroids.com/how-to-root-samsung-galaxy-s9-sm-g960u/#One

Would that method work on my phone?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] ShaDisNX255:
There are really no drawbacks to not tripping KNOX, quite the opposite it's a benefit since you can return to stock and it would act as nothing has happened

No custom kernel, no Magisk (as we know it) and a few other minor things

Extended battery cases are pretty much just chargers, meaning you will be able to deplete your charger 100%, but the phone will only charge up to 80%

Media Transfer Protocol. Pretty much you won't be able to transfer files from your PC to your phone with a USB cable.

It simply does not work, just freezes and closes the app

Way outdated, those methods don't work on phones that came out like 2012 and onward lol. But no, they don't work on the S9
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] pepelapiu:
The first page says this in root instructions:

So if I reboot in stock recovery, will the selfie cam than be useable?
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] Mogster2K:

The instructions are pretty straight, except for two small questions. In Odin, in what slot to we put the combo file? AP? And then the boot image swap file? If you can clarify that for me, I will flash away. Thanks.

Well, I had to learn the new controls as far as booting into OS, but it is up and running good, so hurray. To everyone who worked on this and put this out there, thank you. I hope to find a guide to putting a custom rom on this phone now. Someone said to pick one with gapps included. Pixel Experience is the only one I know of. Hadn't did anything yet.

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] Heathmcdonald:
Make sure you have the correct files, if odin won't flash the combo the phone is either not the same model as the file or you are on a USB 3 and it only flashes over USB 2, we can't know ourselves unless we see some logs or at least know alot more about all these things I've mentioned I'm afraid you might never have success unless you figure out how to ask. Maybe root just isn't for you, I've never seen a better put together method than this, it's almost impossible to mess up.

I hate how much I have to stay plugged in, it's as bad as a 3yo laptop lmao.. Anyway, soon enough I will make one of the gsi roms with signature spoofing send and receive calls and sms and that'll be an awesome day.

I am on S9 G960W with baseband G960WVLU7DTB2 security Patch Feb 2020
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] Heathmcdonald:
It's because it uses a bl revision that is newer than any oreo or pie bl so if you try to downgrade it with odin it will mismatch fail. If you want to upgrade you'll be able to but Ota updates don't come to non official status phones and as you can see my status is custom. I can confirm that you can upgrade to 10 via odin and come back to rooted oreo if you choose, It's a give and take.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] bilaliz:
I am not a complete noob but ut has been a while since I did these shenanigans so please forgive me for needing a bit of direction, which out of bl/ap/cp etc do we need to pick to "flash to combo firmware?"

similarly which option out of the bl/ap/cp etc do we need to pick when we add the bootswap.tar.md5?

I appreciate the work done here and it's awesome to hear that there's finally an available root/custom rom installation method for the S9 lineup, but hosting the files on AFH is coming off as... bad. Currently the files are hosted in Quebec, Canada (or at least they are as of this post for me). The download speed dwindles between 0kb/s and 400kb/s, making a download ETA of anywhere from 4 hours to 6 days. I understand the pros of using AFH (it's free as a service after all) but I believe the cons outweigh the pros in this case.

TL;DR, can we get a mirror hosted on some other service (ie. Mediafire, Mega, Google Drive)? The download/upload speeds on the those services are monumentally better than AFH.
[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] elliwigy:
nope.. i dont use mediafire cuz its full of ads n other junk.. also other methods are limited and ppl will complain when those limits are reached and they cant download it at all..

[Samsung Galaxy S9 & S9+ (Snapdragon) ROMs, Kernels] jrkruse:
Some times if you have an ad blocker running on your browser it will cause other servers on AFH not to show up. AFH sucks sometimes but so do the other methods you mentioned as they have daily download limits or those constant redirects and mega slows your download down after limits are reached like [MENTION=3812611]elliwigy[/MENTION] said.
