[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Optimal Carnage:
As the title states. I have a US variant SM-960U variant. I've been trying to flash the official Android 10 update going around via Odin. The suggested detects my phone and pre-loads all the files fine, however once I start the flash it times out and says it cannot connect to the serial(com) port. I have tried several different cables, at well as the different PC's. There has to be something I'm doing wrong. USB Debugging is enabled in developer options. All the PC's correctly showed the phone being connected as "Samsung Phone" so I know the phone to device connection is there in conjunction with Odin initially establishing connection. Like I said, it's only after clicking start and the file flashing begins that I get the unable to connect to serial port. Any help would be fantastic. As I've been fighting with this since the rollouts began and with the delay by T-Mobile because they want to limit the enhanced network speeds due to a garage network, in even more determined to flash rather than wait on them to throttle the update down before releasing.

I had issues flashing my AT&T phone. I had to follow some odd steps with plugging in the cable while doing other steps. I found it here on XDA and will see if run across the instructions again.

The 1 step I remember that was a how in the

..

Was having odin loaded up( admin rights) ,cable in phone,

press Bixby and vol down ( to get download mode) while plugging the cable into the PC

Oddly after trying this it finally worked.

1. Extract (un-rar) the firmware file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin) ***

2. Download Odin v3.14.1

3. Extract Odin ZIP file (i.e. to folder c:\Odin)

4. Open Odin v3.14.1

5. Power OFF Note9

6. Reboot Phone in Download Mode (1st plug-in USB-cable to your Note9!!!), push Bixby + Volume Down buttons, while pushing them plug-in USB-cable to PC

7. Wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

8. Add the firmware files to their designated slots

9. Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked

10. Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes

Hello,

I just bought the note 10+ N750U from verizon under the firmware N975USQU1ASH4 (VZW)

I do not have a Verizon Sim card but Orange (French operator), so I would like to put the phone with an unlock version (XAA?)

Is it possible ?

Or a more suitable firmware for France (even if the processor is an exynos in France and here a snapdragon)

How to do it please?

thank you very much in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] ptko15:
If you just bought it. You may be in a difficult situation. Verizon does a sim card lock for 60 days. You have to use it under Verizon's network for the 1st 60 days.

No, I haven't received it yet but it's a second-hand model that has more than 60 days so a priori no problem there

The OP7T Pro UI sounds are located @ : Root --> Product --> Media --> Audio --> UI.

Is there anyway I change or replace these? I have tried (via Solid Explorer & SD Maid; I'm rooted & granted these 2 apps superuser/ root access in Magisk) but there seems to be a permissions issue which prevents me making any changes to the UI folder contents.

When I have tried to change the file or folder permission attributes (currently -rw-r-r-) it does not succeed.

Any help/ advice please?

I've tried Solid Explorer Pro/ ES file explorer/ SD maid/ X-plore/ Root explorer Pro - same problem.

Even though I'm rooted - it seems that I can access Root only for viewing. I cannot edit or modify any of the Root files or folders despite changing the permission attributes. They all default back to -rw-r-r- (mode 644)

Is this expected given the Android 10 partitions issue, or is there a solution/ workaround I have missed?

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] LastQuestion:
Hi,

I'm trying to figure what options there are for robust call recording apps on rooted OP6Ts.

I'd like to know if a specific call recording application functions on Andriod Pie after rooting the device.

This application

here's the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.appstar.callrecorder&hl=en_US

If those running a rooted OP6T would install the app and make a few calls I'd appreciate it.

Here's a number to Health and Human Services Office of Civil Right (all prerecorded menus; we won't bother anyone) to do test calls: (800) 368-1019

You may need to do some basic setup. Make sure call recording occurs automatically, or allow the overlay and manually engage the call recording.

For those willing to go to some effort, if at first the app doesn't work, the "Recording Settings" can be tweaked.

I don't know what the difference is between methods, other than that they change how the app tries to get voice data to record.

Can you hear both yourself and the the caller in the recording?

What recording settings were used?

What format did the recording save to (AAC/MP3/Wav?)

What is the sound quality of the recording?

Do any of the above change if you plug in a USB-C earbud/microphone or earbud/microphone attached via USB-C to 3.5mm/TRRS.

(note: bluetooth headsets have compatibility issues even on phones the app works; headset would need to be wired for this test, though info on Bluetooth would be nice if one is so inclined to provide it)

In the applications inbox for recordings, does the number or contact information show up, or is it listed only as "outgoing" or "incoming" call.

Alternatively, I'd be interested in any information/experiences rooted users may have with other call recording software. Such as Another Call Recorder - Unchained (https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.nll.acr). In particular, reliability and call recording quality (as good as 'the call').

Note: I'm aware Native Call Recording can be enabled via ADB. I have done this in my testing. The sound quality is awful on the OP6T I have (which is unrooted; uncertain yet if I need to return).

It seems the OP6T or the OP6T I received has issues with AAC/mp4 and other codecs, which may or may not involve something to do with how it's handling sampling rates - I recall reading that certain ROMs cause issues with audio frequency/sampling. It's a mystery to me. Looking to gather more information and hope that members of XDA can assist in this.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OvrDriVE:
theres a magisk module to enable call recording. works perfect. at least it does on my 6t. recordings are clear. no issues at all. root your phone and try it. no need to install a recording app. the module even works on android 10 so.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] LastQuestion:
Well, so my understanding is the Magisk module basically enables the native call recorder.

I've done that via ADB without rooting the phone and the call recording quality is poor. The the call recording apps still don't work properly. Though some of them can use the native call recorder to record calls. But again, audio quality is poor.

Meanwhile, my galaxy s5 on Marshmallow records with excellent sound quality. Though some calls get missed or have issues, which why I want to upgrade/resolve this problem.

Also, the need to note who a call is from and what was spoke of so as to create a call database that allows making sense of matters, I need that to be able to go back and sort through notes. An app lets me do that: date, time, person, with brief synopsis of most relevant information taken directly after the call ended and was saved.

Anyways, I'm not sure if it's a problem with the phone I received (it is 'refurbished' via Amazon Renewed) or a problem with the 6T, but every application I've tried to make a voice recording or call recording using AAC or MP4 runs into this poor audio quality recording issue in addition to the 'other party' not being recorded. This poor audio quality issue exists even with the ADB command and native call recording. Meanwhile, if I call my Galaxy S5 and just speak through the OP6T through my earbuds connected via USB-C dac, the S5 records a perfectly audible call recording.

So...I was hoping to hear more from other 6T owners and see if rooting could be expected to change any of these problems, or at least determine if these are problems that can be observed by others. It's kind of hard to assess if rooting will help out without committing to keeping this phone. The moment I root, it's hard to return it if things turn out to not work out the way I need.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Striatum_bdr:
Rooting the phone takes 5 minutes, installing the module less than one. You'll have your answer in less time than it took you write your posts.

Experiment instead of being in the abstract. You'll know then if you have to return the phone, after uninstalling root. From OnePlus point of view, rooting doesn't invalidate the warranty.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OvrDriVE:
why can't you restore the phone? the normal msmdownloadtool is for international 6t's theres even one available for the t-mobile 6t to return it to t-mo's firmware. do some looking. it's all available on this forum.

also why not try android q. why pie for this. i don't see the point in pie when q is out and pretty stable atm
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] LastQuestion:
So, I doubt they'd appreciate the phone being rooted. You're quite right that the most expedient method would be to root and find out, just one I hesitate to try. If rooting didn't turn out to be a solution, I must return the OP6T to the Amazon seller.

Looking into things, I've learned the OP6T has a history of problems with microphone audio in third party applications. And a post at one call recording app developer's forum suggested some phones have issues with sampling frequencies that are caused by ROM issues.

Some OOS update notes indicate fixes have been made in some versions for mic issues, but I'll have to update to see if the issues I'm encountering are the same they addressed. I'm trying to find the right ROMs from a trusted source to update the phone, as the auto-update just sits there and tells me 9.0.11 OOS is 'up-to-date'.

Strangely, OnePlus doesn't offer previous firmware's via their support site, just the latest, which updates to Andriod 10, and I have more issues with call recording exist with 10 than 9.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] LastQuestion:
Does Andriod Q have some benefit to call recording? I recall a news article that postulated Google might be restoreing call recording, but it remains unclear if, how, or when.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] Striatum_bdr:
OnePlus don't care about root. You can do whatever you want with your phone as long as your don't mess with hardware. It doesn't void the warranty at all. But if you prefer to colocate things it's up to you. Good luck.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] LastQuestion:
Well, when I chatted with their support they said their official recommendation was to not root. Which is pretty much what every manufacturer says. I'll keep it in mind. Going to await OnePlus supports assistance tracking down an older OOS version to flash; see what they does.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OvrDriVE:
google actually removed the ability to record calls in q. even there api is no longer allowed. the reason for this is because call recording is illegal in probably 90% of the world. however since it is legal in a few places(specifically places oneplus sells there phones) oneplus allows it if you enable the feature by toggling it on. hence the magisk module for it. the call recording magisk module that installs an app also works really well on q but it's 10$ for the full app that gets installed. for me it was just easier to enable the built in feature. besides why pay 10$ if you dont have to.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] LastQuestion:
Does Andriod Q break call recording for OnePlus phones, or does the toggle still work?

Does rooting restore call recording to Q in other phones?

Do you think it's possible to create a custom ROM that adds back the call recording API to Q so that full call recording capability is restored?
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] OvrDriVE:
why would it break it on q on oneplus phones. they have there own implimentation of it. it's disabled by default but can easially be enabled once on the official oneplus software. and yes this includes converted t-mobile 6t's

why would rooting restore call recording on other phones. this isnt other phones threads this is a oneplus 6t thread. you wanna know about other phones go ask in there threads not here

no. as i said google has disabled the feature in q and dropped the api for it so no it is not possible to add it to a custom rom that i know of.

you want anymore info ask elsewhere as i really dont know much more then what i have already mentioned

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] asifzbaig:
So finally we have another Poco launching soon in India.

Its nothing but a rebranded Redmi K30 starting with a price tag of Rs. 15999.

As an F1 user what are your thoughts on X2?

Is it worth putting money on if someone is using F1 and wants to upgrade?

Or its a another waste attempt by Xiaomi to compete with already few months old Realme X2?

Should we keep our hopes on for F2 or X2 Pro with supposedly SD865 chipset or move our faith to Realme with the likes of Realme X2 Pro and upcoming X50 5G?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] DaveCZ:
For me, disappointing. Not just because it's a rebrand of Redmi K30, but also because of the specs. They're not that impressive, given the fact that we were waiting 1,5 yrs for a new phone (which isn't even new) Thought, I like the 120Hz display and big battery. Cameras are unnecessary for me (having a quad set-up).

So I'll rather stick with my F1 until they release a truly new smartphone or "flagship killer"

In conclusion, this one is a waste of money if you own F1. It's better to invest in other Xiaomi phones or wait for F2 or X2 Pro. I wouldn't necessarily lose hope in Xiaomi (or POCO).
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thunderc8:
Not worth it, with gcam or camera will take better pictures and the cpu on f1 is stronger.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] thesoupthief:
It's cheap (in India, at any rate)

Processor seems a downgrade vs the F1

"Master of speed?" Not so much

Why bother with the 120hz screen when the processor won't support highest settings on most games?

Camera looks decent, from the first look

Not an upgrade from the F1

Let's see if they can do any better with the F2 (whenever that emerges)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Mafioso:
Its a different phone all together. I don't think it's meant to be upgrade or successor of f1, as its design philosophy differs.

On the phone itself, Only thing going for it is 120Hz which I'm not sure how much of real life diff it will make. I think the vanilla K20 might be better deal due to notch less AMOLED screen and zoom camera. If k20 gets a rate cut, I would pick k20 over x2 anyday.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] rajeshkoshti:
Poco F1 users won't go for Poco X2, period.

There is nothing better in the X2 compared F1 except 120hz. Not even Samoled.

There is a reason why F1 was priced at 20k rupees and X2 is 16k rupees.

Upgrade can only b considered if there are:-

-Samoled with/without 120hz

-flagship grade processor

-telephoto lens

-traditional fingerprint is faster than under display

-no more ugly notches, waterdrop is okay

-plz no fancy face unlock/ir camera if its not 100% safe like iphone's face id

-battery is always gud on xiaomi devices

-lotsa dev support just like F1

-doesnt matter if it ships with miui as long as we can flash PE.

-stereo speakers or not its okay

Keep the poco line vry clear, if phones like X2 are launched under poco brand users wil get confused.

I hope this clears the air.

If it's not a flagship CPU inside (and it isn't...), then I couldn't care less.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] mecoromeo:
The X2 isn't the successor to the F1, but more of a teaser. Yes, it's just a rebranded K30, but as per interviews, this is not the F2. A real successor will come out, just no info yet when.

Hopefully it's not a rebranded K30, but more of an upgrade to the F1. I do hope they bring back the infrared face unlock. And I'm glad they still have the sd slot (that's what kept me from upgrading to the K20 Pro/Mi 9T pro last year).

---------- Post added at 03:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:26 PM ----------

Here's my take on the X2 and the upcoming F2. If they can keep most of the stuff from the X2 like the camera, SD Slot, keep a jack, 4500mah battery, faster charging speed, the 120hz display (I'm fine with LCD just to keep costs down, and some gaming monitors with high refresh rates are still LCD and are fantastic, so it's fine). Then maybe keep the plastic back from the F1 (not a fan of glass, especially since the K30/X2 has a glass/plastic combo that isn't nice since it may likely just compromise the structure of the phone specially with falls. Note that the sides of the phone are plastic and not metal, which is bad news for integral structure as not only will the glass possibly break easier, but the plastic may break too.). Or they could go the kevlar route like the last time, or something different like the papaya leather of the concept one phone.

Also, keep the infrared face unlock. That's one of the best features of the F1 (my opinion). I don't mind the notch, so long as notifications are better implemented. Also, have a notif light.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Sayan44:
I thought Poco brand was exclusively for Flagship device in budget, until this X2 launched. X2 seems like a mid-range device, They are just using the brandname to get most out of K30 series. Indian users prefer Redmi Note series for mid-range. X2 isn't worth it, people would rather spend it on K20 which offers AMOLED display with same processor.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] chazy chaz:
I'll stick with F1 for sure ! i'm so disappointed .. i almost sold my F1 .. lucky i didn't !
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Windoors:
Xiaomi should've put a 855 (or at least 765g) instead of spending in that useless glass/aluminium body.

The whole purpose of Pocophone/Poco is offering flagship performance at midrange/low midrange price so using glass body is opposing that purpose. Glass body adds no performance and increases cost. Even waterproofing would have had some practical purpose.

Another thing to mention is regarding camera: should've put a telephoto lens rather than macro and depth sensor. Its much more useful.

Rear mounted fingerprint scanner is much better than side mounted one with a protective casing on.
