[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Starrfinger:
So I have an S8 from Tmobile that the screen does not work. As part of a bigger project, I first need to gain access to the phone. The end result is that I am able to control the device from a computer. Since its a fresh install of stock, USB debugging is not active. I've checked online but I believe this is can be a very technical part of the process and what seems the hardest. This has to be accomplished without using a mouse. As the title states I am willing to install a ROM but if it can be done without it then thats ok too (we can install later if needed).

Please include links and/or instructions to accomplishing tasks. I'm no engineer but comfortable working with cmd given the right instructions.

Thanks and look forward to working together :)
[Shield Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phunni:
I've recently been playing around on my shield tablet with a couple of different roms and rooting, but I ended going back to stock - albeit with root and twrp installed. I downloaded the stock image from Nvidia's own download site and everything well and now it wants to install 5.4 over OTA. I figured that was fine, I'd have to re-root and, possibly, reinstall twrp, but that's not a hassle so I went ahead with the update.

Unfortunately, when it rebooted to install it actually rebooted into twrp. I figured that was OK, since I could just flash the update manually. I found it from /data/data/com/nvidia.ota/ and went to flash it. It failed, however, with error e3003 - complaining about the update file being older that the existing system file. The only solution I could find on googling was to make suer you went through the updates systematically and in order. Since my tablet had been restored to 5.2 I tried flashing the 5.3 update, but it gave me the same error.

I'm now somewhat stumped as to how I can actually go about getting my tablet back up to date again...

Want to let people know how you feel about them selling ROMs from XDA?

Let this guy know. He was kind enough to include his phone number in the ad (which is reposted on a daily basis) and encourages people to text him.

Here in Phoenix the police will go bust him!! They cruise Craigslist for this stuff.
[General Topics] gamescan:
And he reposted again today:

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/pen/ele/746591733.html

Doesn't seem to care that his stuff gets flagged down. While I'm normally against posting people's contact information, I don't think it'll be an issue as this seller posts in it all of his ads.

He is at +1-650-270-1881 which is a San Francisco suburb.

Since he's taking stuff from the forums and reselling it without permission (not to mention the super blatant warez), I figure those who are having their stuff sold might want to have a record of the phone number in case he removes it from later ads.

What cases did you all get for the for your S20?

Here are the few I've gotten so far

Tech21 Its nice looking, but its sort of meh seems like protection wise. Feels a little thinner than the one I had on my 11 Pro Max and Note 10, so it may end up getting returned, looks like theres complaints for the S20 Ultra due to no protection around the camera. For those who hold the bottom of the phone with the pinky finger its a little sharp

ArmadilloTek case: Its awesome! Very good protection adds a little bulk but not to much, very comfortable in the hand and very nice looking. This will most likely be my main case.

Poetic Affinity: Very awesome feeling case, comfortable in the hand, minimum bulk but feels like it has some okay drop protection. Very great clear case.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Accessories] bloomylicious:
Nice case shots! Which one do you use primarily?

Pretty sure I have the first one too, Poetic one, knock off UAG sort of but I really like it for the price, only issue was it was lifting the pre-installed screen protector a bit.

I'm currently rocking the Dbrand Grip case with the teardown skin, loving how it feels, also very protective. I'll try get some pictures up shortly.

Hello, friends!

We have developed a new, very cool anti-aliasing system.

Which allows you to achieve better picture clarity at a lower resolution.

Accordingly, I have a question for you - what do you think is better:

1) Decrease the resolution of pictures, which will reduce the size of the application, increase the performance and the number of supported devices (the picture quality will be at the same level).

2) Or leave the resolution as it is, which together from the anti-aliasing system will allow you to achieve a VERY high image quality?
[Android Themes] samanthach:
Hello! Your wallpaper is so beautiful. I'm gonna download it later. :D

- Forest scene (Morning animals, afternoon animals, then nocturnal animals)

I think those would appeal to lots of people! :)

Twitch: Livestream (Ad-Free)(Android TV)

Attached is 1 zip files. Since twitch is using split apk we need to use "Split APKs Installer (SAI)" found in the google play store to install the applications. It does not require root.

Versions:

Twitch [2.9.8](AndroidTV) (newest as of 3/7/2020)

Tests:

Tested on Nvidia Sheild TV PIE

Instructions Android TV:

1) Download the ZIP file for Android TV onto your internal SD-Card

2) Install Split APKs Installer (SAI) either from the playstore or attached to this post.

3) Open Split APKs Installer (SAI) and go to settings and enable sign APKs(see screenshot)

4) Go back to Main Screen and hit Install Apk at the bottom

5) Locate ZIP file you copied to your internal SD-Card

6) You will get a notification that you need to allow Split APKs Installer (SAI) to install the file(on android TV after enabling install permissions I need to close and restart from setup 3 as giving permissions froze the app)

7) Run Twitch and sign in

NOTE:

1) Make sure you uninstall any twitch app you have installed

2) While the application stops ads from twitch it may not stop forced ads(Ads that the streamer forces). Example, switch from streamer to streamer you will get a ad from twitch(this should be blocked). Streamer finished a match in overwatch he may force a ad on his viewers(this may not be stopped)

Looking to fix phone to newest version. Some set backs.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Willy_P:
So far, I like everything about the S20+ except the in-screen fingerprint sensor. The fingerprint sensor is too small and it only works about 75% of the time. The in-screen fingerprint sensor on my OnePlus 7 Pro was far superior. BTW, the S20+ still has the factory installed screen protector, as did my OnePlus 7 Pro.

But fingerprint and the face unlock is pretty poor. My OnePlus 6t handled both much better...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] pvc_:
I don't know about other phones, but yeah. The finger print scanner needs some help. Not atrocious, but just ok.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Devhux:
Similar sentiments here:

https://www.androidpolice.com/2020/...qualcomms-bad-fingerprint-scanner-technology/

Almost makes me contemplate whether to just stick with my Pixel 4 XL, though I'm so used to Samsung phones otherwise. The S10 was OK for me in terms of fingerprint acceptance, but definitely worse than other phones I'd used before
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] termdj:
The face unlock is very quick if the lighting is good, otherwise it struggles...the Finger print works great on my device...quicker then my s10+. I struggled to register my finger initially, but after it completed I was surprised how quick it was...Due to the size of my hands I know exactly how far from the bottom to place my finger to unlock the phone...if not almost 100% on the sensor then it takes longer
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] nyr2k2:
I haven't had any problems with accuracy on the sensor. Even works if my finger is moist or has an indentation from holding in landscape.

It's not incredibly fast, but it seems pretty solid to me. Certainly not problematic.

I don't use the face unlock so I have no input on that.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] cingulum:
I am struggling with fingerprint reader as well. I have registered both thumbs and index fingers but the fingerprint unlock is damn slow and the sensor fails to register fingerprint. Most of the time I see "press a little harder" notification. I fear I may end up cracking the display with harder finger presses. Coming from SGS9, this fingerprint reader is a downgrade! On the other hand face unlock seems quite snappy, but how secure is face unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dezborders:
I am finding the exact opposite to you ... In screen sensor is fast and accurate, works maybe 9 out of 10 times. I registered my thumb 2 times

Are you using the original Samsung factory fitted film screen protector or have you replaced it with tempered glass protector?

The ultra sonic in screen sensors do not play nicely with glass screen protectors at all. The infra red in screen sensors on the Samsung A range handsets works fine with tempered glass, I don't k ow why Samsung went for infra red on the S range personally
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Willy_P:
I'm glad the sensor is working for you. I'm still using the factory installed screen protector and I plan to replace it at some point with the Whitestonedome tempered glass. Although the sensor is working for you, the problems with Qualcomm's ultrasonic technology are pretty well known:

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] XRSTOY1:
Try changing the setting to be more sensitive to screen touches and reregister your fingerprints. My S20+ works so much better than my S10 did. Faster and more accurate. A very quick firm touch is all you need press to long it keeps looking it won't open the screen till you let go.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] vash_h:
Yeah it's working fine on mine but i recorded 3 sets of my right thumb and 3 sets of my left thumb.. Having multiple records of the same finger helps a lot

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] viatorx:
I don't know if the phone is bricked or what. Was in the store tonight, tried to text message my wife who I couldn't find and the phone was all locked up.

Soft reset, and only the date/time loaded, nothing would run. Soft reset again, and the phone didn't load past the bright splash screen. Tried soft reseting a bunch more times, nada. Did a hard reset, first one didn't work. I think it was the 3rd hard reset that took. Phone seemed like it was back to basic WM5, would be okay. Went home, put it on the charger.

Went to take it off the charger to reload data, and it won't turn on. Soft reset, freezes at bright splash screen. Hard reset, same thing.

Is my phone bricked? Anything that I can do to revive it? Or am I SOL?

Cingy/ATT 8525 w/WM5

(By "bright splash screen" I mean when the splash screen flashes brightly. It increases brightness, but just stays that way.)

Any help greatly appreciated.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] viatorx:
I managed to load the official WM6 ROM (spl 2.03) via the built-in bootloader. I have radio, ROM, and GSM. It boots through the ATT animation, then freezes. It leaves a black screen with a blue and green static bar running horizontally across the screen about 1/4" thick.

I don't know how to get Hard-SPL loaded on the device because the only way I can see the device is when it's in the built-in bootloader mode.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] viatorx:
will attempt PB/KITL I guess, though I can't at this point get the phone to display the KITL info.:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] viatorx:
No KITL in the ATT WM6 ROM.

Managed to get ATT WM6 ROM through the setup, after the "customization (bloatware)" it reset, and now it sticks on the bootup animation. :mad:

So close, I have SSPL and Hard SPL on the micro SD, if only I could get to the damn file manager. If I could somehow cancel out the customization process grrr.

On power charger, I seem to be able to get through the setup after a hard reset okay. It just won't boot after the reset.

Any ideas. I gotta get a few hours sleep. Sorry if this dialog to myself is in the wrong area, I didn't notice the "bricked hermes" thread was in the upgrades, etc area.
