Fastboot does NOT work with USB 3.0 with this device. That's it.

Can 100% confirm this is the problem and solution. Used an ancient laptop I had lying around just to flash TWRP. Rest is gravy.
[Xiaomi Mi Pad 4 Questions & Answers] liveman2k:
I just flahsed & rooted my MI PAD 4 bought from China a while ago yesterday for the very first time and I concurred, using an older USB port (2.0) is the right way to deal with this problem, otherwise you will see "press any key to shut down" message no matter what you do, and you can't go beyond this page.

Maybe it's late, but for the best result, try windows 7 too. I plug the tab into the usb 2.0 port on my win 10 pc and the dreaded "press any key to shutdown" button still appear.

i am a new programmer using flutter framework, but i have problem with that. My device always asking me to choose three usb option ( charge only, transfer files, and transfer photo). Even when building the code, sometimes, the usb option pop out again, causing my devices disconnected. I do already activate my developer options and usb debugging. after trying to solve this, i found out that :

1. When using another phone(not realme 5 pro), it is no problem. it mean that my phone do have the problems.

2. At first, i think maybe the OS have the problme, and I already tried flutter in Windows OS and Manjaro, both are not working. Still have the same issue. usb option keep poping out after some times.

3. I tried the second usb option(transfer files) without enabling developer option, and found same problem(usb option poping out again).

Even no i am still don't know to fix it.

I wanted to know if there is a way to permanently disable USB debugging (that even when you try to turn it on it turns off automatically).

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirizad_7436:
As you turn it on

You can turn it off

And it won't turn on until you do it

And you can't turn it off completely

Just don't turn it on again!

I'm thinking he is asking bc he doesn't want someone to be able to backdoor his phone if they steal it
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirizad_7436:
No way man!

He should just set strong password and take care of that.if the phone locked it's impossible to enable it

If they steal phone they can't access it without format all data which is unrecoverable(he can delete all of data with FMM too)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toolhas4degrees:
That isn't true. You can bypass security if you have twrp and adb
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amirizad_7436:
Yep that's right

But you can't install TWRP without USBdebug enable!

I said don't enable that one!

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Techngro:
Hey all, It's been a while since I was active on XDA, but I'd like some advice from Note 8 owners.

I used to buy Samsung Notes back in the day when they dropped in price a bit, but I haven't had one since the Note 4. I currently have an Umidigi F1 and I'm not super happy with it, but it was all I could afford at the time. I've been looking at mid-range phones because of my budget. So far I was looking at the Redmi Note 8 Pro and the Galaxy A50. Both have a price range around $250 on Ebay. But Amazon is selling the Note 8 renewed for the same price, and I do miss the Note (I still use my Note 3 as my bedside device). The only issue I've heard about the Note 8 is that the battery life could be better.

So what do you guys think about getting the Note 8 at this time? And how bad (or not) is the battery life? Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Isaygarcia:
Definitely. SD835 beats any current mid range processor. I just got one SGN8 for myself by looking for a good quality/performance in mid range phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] butchieboy:
Note 8 still a great device. I had the A20. For the price it was ok at $160, but trust me you will notice a difference. I would go with Note8 maybe even S9 if price is what your concerned about.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Techngro:
How's the battery life on yours so far?

The renewed S9 is about $275 and up. I think I'll go with the Note 8 and then next year move up to the 9. :)

Thanks for the responses guys.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Isaygarcia:
Battery will depend on your usage, I am a pretty power user, i get about 10 hrs, the good point though, is that the fast charging capability on this phone is amazing, so you can have a fast charger with you for any long travel and in less than 1 hour, you are at 100% again, with 10 more hours of battery juice.

I believe this could be a Com, If we talk about pro/con, but the Pros would overpass this Con.

I ordered a manufacturer refurbished Note 8 on EBay yesterday. It's already been shipped. Should have it in the next couple of days. I ordered a Spigen Tough Armor case and an Anker wireless charger. But I like to add one of those stick-on elastic wallets to my phone and have about 5 cards in there, so I'm not sure wireless charging will work. I'll try it and return it (the wireless charger) if it doesn't work.

I have used one plus and mi till now and rooting or flash twrp is smooth there.

using ODIn and magisk patch flashing is uncharted territory for me. There are threads which are confusing for me. I just want root my device. Flashing patched firmware through magisk seems difficult to me with a fear of getting bricked.

And the TWRP thread of flashing twrp is not explicit if after flash twrp i can just flash magisk.zip. Any one out here who can explain it to me like 5.

I just want a root. I have bootloader unlocked on my SM-T865, 4G INDIA model
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Questions & Answers] bartleby999:
TWRP method is the easiest imo. You just use Odin to Flash TWRP, then use TWRP to flash the custom Kernel, encryption disabler and Magisk. There's no need to patch anything.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] davisdlrch:
It was leaked before but now confirmed that Samsung will release the snapdragon variant of the S20 Ultra (and probably the other ones) in Korea. I'm not sure where the center of gravity is (country) as far as development for these phones, but I know North American members have to buy international anyway. Considering snapdragons are easier to develop for and in some ways superior to Exynos, does anyone think there will be a shift to purchasing these unlocked snapdragon variants? I purchased a Korean Note 8 to get 256gb and unlike the Chinese version the wireless bands are fully compatible in the U.S. (Assuming you're on AT&T or T-Mobile). I'd bet this time Verizon and Sprint would be covered by virtue of the snapdragon modems.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] freeza:
What's the model number of the Korean version
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] davisdlrch:
It's SM-G988N. The Korean variants are the same as the US or European Model number but with an N instead of U or F/FD.

By the way here is a link to the geekbench results for the Korean Variant. This proves the use of the 865 in Korea.

I also found this MSN Korea Article which states the following (Translated):
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] freeza:
Interesting. So it's better to get Korean over hong Kong?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] davisdlrch:
Maybe. Previously there was no reason to get the Chinese version because no one was developing for it. It was bootloader unlocked, but you'd essentially be in the same position as someone with the US version. There were also South American variants that used snapdragon as well. I'm just hoping that with the introduction of a snapdragon variant in Korea, people will be more open to purchasing that one. It's a pretty affluent market that would be into custom development. So that in addition to Americans needing to buy internationally anyway creates the possibility.

I know of a few people that bought Korean variants in the past due to larger capacities (myself included) so it's not *too* far fetched.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] YellowGTO:
Are the 5G bands compatible as well?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] force70:
interesting the Korean versions historically always had exynos, now they went snapdragon?

guess they wanted the superior processor for themselves this year.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Dr_Cure:
Based on this comparison spec sheet from Techwalls, it doesn’t look like the Korean model will support the same 5G bands as the US models (sub 6ghz, mid band, mmwave). Hopefully, this sheet isn’t complete yet.

Search Techwalls.com Samsung Ultra 5G (sorry, new user and can’t post a url yet).
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Boeing747x:
Acutally I live in China but I'm currently using a Korean Variant Galaxy Note10+ 5G, as the Exynos ones have better access to custom stuffs like Magisk, Lineage OS, etc. I have the same confusion as you. Usually the Korean Variant uses Exynos proccecors but this time they went for Snapdragon 865. I'm worrying about if the Snapdragon ones are able to flash custom ROMs and Magisk. I guess I'll just wait. If those great developers start to get Magisk or Lineage OS done on Snapdragon versions, I'll just get a Korean one. If not, I guess I'd better get a Hong Kong variant or Chinese Mainland variant, as they get better 5G support in Chinese Mainland.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Phazonclash:
Hello, simple question: I've converted my N960W running Android 9 into a N960U1 running Android 10.

I've read somewhere that Samsung can somehow detect when you flash a firmware from a different model, and blocks OTA updates. Is it true?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Trex888:
Yes

I have N960U verizon model and i converted into N060U1 6 months ago but i never received ota updates.

Honestly N960W is almost similar to stock android, you get stock caller ID & block, Samsung cloud, and security features which are not available in carrier roms, All of carrier rom comes with bloatwares on them as well.

If you are okay with Andriod 10 thats fine as you won't be getting any more android update on note 9, so its totally fine even if you not getting any OTA updates

Unfortunately, the stock Videotron "w" rom my phone comes with has some carrier crap (un-deleteable bookmarks and apps mostly, related to different media companies/newspapers belonging to Videotron's owner like an app called J5, Journal de Montreal/Quebec bookmarks, etc.)

So it's that time of year again when a new and honestly beastly lime of Samsung flagships is announced. The Galaxy S20 line looks legitimately promising but is it enought to give up the Note 9 and S pen though? Or are you gonna wait to see what the Note 20/+/Ultra has to offer a few months down the line.

I wanna see everyone's view on these new phones that ol Sammy has announced. I'm personally on the fence. I want the new tech but I just know the Note line will blow it out of the water later this year so it leaves room for a potential bait and switch lol.

What about you all?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] butchieboy:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KingVekxin:
It'll most likely be even more of a best but I'm still on the fence to be honest. Like I want to check out the 20 Ultra but I know it's be upset if I got it and then the note big brother died up later lol

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KingVekxin:
What do you mean
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] macgyver40:
Note line as long as the hole in the screen is gone. Nothing about the S line has ever really want me to part with money.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] KOLIOSIS:
I'm intrigued with just about any new midrange to flagship phone that comes out.

However, I usually steer clear of the S lineup for a few reasons.

1) No S-Pen. I rarely use it, but, it's nice to have when you want/need it. The price difference between the top of the line S series & the Note is negligible considering you get the S-Pen & usually some newer hardware/software features.

2) I don't particularly care for the curves on the S series, preferring the boxier look of the Note.

3) The hole punch. Yeah, you can (probably) hide it, just as you can on the Note 10, but, that kinda sux that you sacrifice screen real estate for a cleaner look. The fact that all the marketing pix hide it w/dark gradient wallpapers & having a software option to hide it is an admission that it's an awful stopgap before the hidden FFC's are available.

I'd be lying if I said I'm not tempted to get the S20 Ultra. The 5G speeds alone are definitely appreciable, both the Note 10 & OP7T Pro are definitely snappier with it. However, the eye-watering price of $1400-$1600 USD is a hard pill to swallow.

The only way I'll jump ship is if pre-order trade-in offers on the carriers (T-Mobile US here) is a lot better than the $300 that Samsung is offering. Otherwise, I'm hanging on to the Note 9 until the Note 20 arrives, or longer. Mine is running just as well as it did on opening day & battery health is still around the 95% range,kinda hard to trade it in for the measly $210 that T-Mobile is currently offering. (Not particularly interested in bothering with listing it on Swappa & the like, last time I checked,way too many available for sale,it's a buyer's market)

In the meantime, I scratched my itch for new hardware yesterday.

T-Mobile slashed the price of their Pixel 4 lineup:

Pixel 4XL was $899,sale price as of 2/12/20: $499.

Pixel 4 was $799,now 50% off as of 2/12/20: $399.

Got it (4XL) on T-Mobile's JOD, $0 down & free overnight shipping, ETA 2/14/20.

Will use it as a daily driver for the first week or two, long enough to determine if it's a keeper (for a backup/secondary phone) or, send it back during the buyer's remorse grace period.

Is the S20 worth getting?

I wouldn't fault anyone who doesn't want to wait for the next Note to land, but, I'd definitely stay away from the smallest one, as it doesn't have the MM Wave variety of 5G. Yeah, I know 99% of the US doesn't even have it available, present company included, however, @ $1000, no sale here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] a2597:
Still loving my note 9. I see no reason to upgrade. Note9 still is peak smartphone for me. Note 10 was a step backwards (I don't like notches or holes in my display, and I like my headphone jack).

Note 11 or 20 or whatever likely isn't an upgrade for me either. Note 9 still goes two days on a charge unless I game on it, still fast as when I bought it, and still takes great photos. I'll wait until some of that changes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jammol:
My wife and I might be switching to something a little more stock related later this year. Just tired of bloat, crappy support when it comes to issues, and definitely something a lot cheaper. Maybe if Google does things right, I might just get two Pixel 4a/XL or whatever when they eventually come out? Not sure to be honest. OnePlus is now up there with the big guys in pricing so that might not happen. Don't know, but I do know that I will be keeping my Note 9 as a backup.
