i put kavanas ROM on my phone. and i have a probelm where my a,z,w,e,r,s,d,f,x,c,v buttons dont work.. idk if this is new or what. but can someone help?

i tired that eT9 keyboard fix thing.. and didnt work.. any help?
[HTC Excalibur] alexisdash:
up's anybody?
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
May be an easier way? But how about a Hard-Reset

You could always see if these buttons work without flashed ROM

Then reflash with Kavana if you still have this problem after installing the eT9.cab and open PIE and in input box press FN+Space choose eT9, now if this does not solve it then flash with Kavana Ricky Remade.

Sorry i can't be more help.
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
From Mikey.

To install eT9 keyboard mapping changer:

1) Download THIS.

2) Transfer all the cabs and the .css file to your \Windows folder via ActiveSync

3) Place the .lnk file in your 'My Documents' folder

4) Using 'File Explorer' (on your phone), click on "Excalibur eT9 Changer" and pick the layout.

5) Reboot your phone

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] machinist60:
Battery issues developed a while back. The original battery had expanded considerably. A new one was installed and the intermittent charging behaviour continued. Next a new battery charging board was installed and now no charging occurs. All connectors have been cleaned and double checked to no avail. I like this device and at this time there does not seem to be a good 7 in. tablet replacement.

If anyone has any trouble shooting ideas I would be most grateful.

Well, that may be your experience, I travel a lot by car and, only in some really isolated areas is where I loose signal, you see, It is very different for everyone, I use cellphones since 1990, and I have seen a lot
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] scottusa2008:
I've had several brands of phones over the years.. recently every Samsung device I have bought (galaxy s8+, s9+, note 10+) only had signal issues due to insufficient carrier coverage.

None of the phones had issues of signal crippling. I have had Motorola, Nokia, iPhone, Samsung devices and outside of a phone having manufacturer defect (or bad antenna placement) they all worked the same signal and performance wise. Only the carrier i was using and how well they covered my area was what impacted signal quality.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] winol:
Exactly, carrier coverage/quality is what almost always determine how well you can use a device, just in some few cases, hadware or software, underperform or are sub-par
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] coilbio:
I completely agree with this, that's why root was so important to fix things.

Samsung and apple are basically the same in controlling their hardware and software, one just gets more flak for it and I don't see Samsung changing because people don't have other devices, they buy only Samsung like people only buy apple.

They have their set market and try to do the best they can so they don't get sued.

My one plus is way better at everything than my n10+5g except for camera, but I hate how ugly oneplus phones are so it's sticks to 3rd line backup duties behind my Xperia .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Nastrahl:
About cell signal : I agree that they have to comply to safety regulations, but since it's 2 W/kg here, why the device only make 0.187 if they are authorized to do more for a better signal ?

Or maybe i don't understand how it isv actually working?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Collin80:
Do you suppose that wireless radios use perpetual motion engines to output as much power as you want for free? Or, perhaps does the battery have to provide that power? The likely answer for why they limit the output power so much is that high output kills your battery. Then people would be complaining about poor on-time for the phone. So, they have a delicate line to walk here. You want enough power that the phone works but you want low enough power that it doesn't eat the battery in 3 hours. Also, recently quite a few drooling idiots have gotten up in arms about how wireless radiation causes all manner of ailments. So, I'll bet they'd not like to be known as the manufacturer who gives people brain cancer, ruined cakes, rain on your birthday, sterility, the walking farts, and foul smelling discharges.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] winol:
The fact is: the phones use whatever power needs to connect within certain regulated limits, that's it, the carriers are the ones that have the more difficult task in providing the signal as best as possible, which is indeed somewhat complicated for some geographical situations
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] itzik_man:
Hardware and none optimized firmware in general have an impact on the quality of the phone signal, (modem, antenna and others) and off coarse some apps running in the background of the phone. Nevertheless, it's minimal in comparison to the impact caused by the carriers network regulations, network bands assignment, cell towers distance and users traffic. the unsubstantiated claim that Samsung is deliberately crippling our phones signal strange, is nonsense! (It didn't stop Apple from slowing down some old iPhones, not theirs signal)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] winol:
Exactly itzik
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] coilbio:
You guys are trying to rationalize and keep buying Samsungs constraints.

Like I said. My Xperia and OnePlus has better signal and is louder, especially speaker and Bluetooth music than my n10+, my note 9 is rooted so viper4android helps but its signal and call quality has always been the worst.

I carry 3 phones with me, needless to say the ones I need for talk with clarity are not my note10+

It's a shame really that other manufacturers have the exact same signal and loudness constraints Samsung does but can achieve more refinement all the while being smaller than Samsung at that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Nastrahl:
No I suppose that if the limit is 2, make it use 2 for the sake of having signal in bad coverage areas (like where I live because of the metal roof of the train station nearby [official statement about why signal is bad]), and not 0.187 max.

Make it dynamically use less when in call by the use of proximity sensor if it detects your body, or something like that, and use its full potential for tethering or when nothing is detected by the proximity sensor (for tethering by example) or at home because you can charge it whenever you want ; etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Matt8504:
I have note10+ exynos variant, and also amazingly good Huawei p20. I read a lot about the signal issues on note10. I compared the 2 device, same operator. There is a difference between them, definitely. But strangely mostly on signal values. Huawei p20 showed between 2 and 10 dBm better signal reception. But if you start a speedtest, note10+ is faster or the same compared to p20 both on 2x2 network.

Also WiFi module performed better on note10+. A was able to stay connected to very low signal wifi, when p20 couldn't connect at all. However note10 doesn't show low signal wifi. It shows and detect only very high signal networks. But if you already saved the network ssid, you may have chance to stay connected even on low signal.

The biggest problem ive found on note10 is faster modem overheating and throttling on low signal reception. Otherwise is still amazing device.

I also get pen interference on some lte network sites, the pen constantly disconnected on some places using lte 1800 mhz.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] coilbio:
I think everything you say falls flat when other devices perform better right next to a Samsung device with all those scenarios and parameters involved.

No matter what scenario you throw at it, another device in the same position doesn't have the problem Samsungs do. I have many phones and tablets on the same networks that perform where Samsung lags and hangs.

That's the point, not that there's rules and regulations that EVERYONE follows, it's that Samsung chooses to not optimize as well as other manufacturers, which to be honest has been the same story since their Android adoption.

We just all forgot because the hardware almost overcomes the software limitations to be barely good enough.

Also all hardware is basically the same now, just rearranged differently inside phones but to the same manufacturer specs and connections or else the built in fail-safes won't let them work, so then what does that leave as the real issue?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] winol:
You talk ad if ALL samsung devices are vastly inferior relating the topic here, which clearly is not true, as scottusa said, every single user obtain different results due to many factors, in my family, there are 3 different brands of devices in use, samsung, huawei and apple, on some ocasions one of them performs better than the others, and other times it doesn't, not a single one performs always better than the others, that clearly indicates that more factors are involved, not that samsung does a utterly bad job optimizing the devices, this is my experience, you colibio may have haf a very different and bad one, but by no means it reflects absolutely what the rest of the users get, you may see some number of complains about any issue, right, but, users in these forums are in reality a tiny minority, and, as many have some degree of knowledge about these topics, they tend to maximize and demand all sorts of things
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] coilbio:
Consumer ignorance and small report sample, because of consumer ignorance, creates an experience curve in favor of Samsung.

So because xda is more "tech savy", because there's more developers who maybe work in the tech industry, who probably have more means and more devices and get more use of said devices because of their interest/work/hobby/ECT, that means we have an unrealistic expectations when all were saying is that Samsung falls behind in it's product compared to it's peers.. wouldn't you want the tiny sample who maybe knows more to speak up about it?

Frankly maybe it's not just my experience, maybe I just know enough to admit Samsung software is garbage without root and Xposed to make it work right.

This is XDA, this is what we do here. We observe, we report and we try as best we can to fix issues with products costing over $1100 that frankly shouldn't be there.

Nobody should have an issue with data reported by OP, or myself or anyone for that matter, especially when you can look at our Dev section or modules and fixes that exist within our community that were created to fix these issues reported.

What better reflection of the problem than a community coming up with solutions and baking new software.

I really don't like when people can't speak up against the majority when it comes to problems, it seems like the minority are the only ones who are pushing development anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] scottusa2008:
what falls flat is the classic "Brand X vs Brand Y" arguments. I have had Samsung phones that out perform an iPhone, LG phones that out perform Motorola, and a Nokia that could survive being left outside all winter and still work just fine.

Heaven forbid that in some situations and circumstances a device will perform better then another.. but that is nothing new and has far more to do with what one is expecting to see, what reality presents and what really is going on (usage, cell coverage and environmental factors).

I know a few Chevy owners who say the same thing about Ford automobiles.

Unfortunately when you get past the personal bias, personal opinions and personal disappointment the story always ends up being:

"It just didn't work right for me"

Which is ok and perfectly normal. I totally accept and understand that not every car (or in this case mobile device) will work for every person in every situation.

Some will just be defective (and a replacement will work), some have design issues (antenna gate as an example), some will have a bad part that needs replacing, some will not do what we expect it to do, and some will not do what we want it to do.

But just like cars this is not limited to just Samsung devices and encompasses all devices.

Actually ya it is on this thread. The OP is talking about samsung crippling radios.

Your taking about something all together different

Without the software to tell the hardware what to do, the hardware is just chips, boards, wires and circuits and nothing more.

So if software is written poorly or contains errors no matter how good the hardware a device will not function properly (or at all).

And software is a general term to cover all software. Things like drivers, config files, operating systems, 3rd party apps, oem apps, carrier apps, sim configuration, firmware on a chip, etc.

Some people had some bad experiences with Samsung phones with the misconception that experience = Samsung phones are bad phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] coilbio:
And some people will defend that brand and try to speak louder than the ones with issues.

OP made many more references than just the radios, which look at the Samsung threads about people trying to flash CSC to try and get better signal and radio integration..

The writing is all over the walls. I probably have more Samsung phones and tablets than most people will have in their lifetime, just not stock.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] scottusa2008:
Take your blinders off for a few and see what is going on... I am not addressing your personal grievances from past experiences with Samsung devices.

No one defending Samsung here in this thread.. People trying to explain to someone how the understanding they derived is problematic (and why) does not mean defense of Samsung. The only one who is talking loudly is you and it is clear you have some personal issues with Samsung.

What I am doing is trying to get into a discussion with someone over a claim they made on signal crippling. The post made pertains to signal crippling, audio crippling via the EQ (i.e. OP stating that changing the setting by one notch up audio get cuts in half), and WiFi issues.

If I found it then that means someone else can just as easily spot it... After all if someone is going to make a bold claim of intentional sabotage by (and even suggest a class action lawsuit against) a manufacturer then it is better to get it right the first time... Do you not agree?

Also the different threads over CSC's... I see a lot of threads where people are trying to use phones from one carrier onto another, people trying to use phones from the USA overseas, some people who use overseas phones within the USA, some who want to flash U1 firmware onto a U model, some who are using Exynos models outside of the region they are in, some who want to get certain features working outside of a region... And yes some signal issues with a few different reasons (using a phone outside of a certain region, etc).

But what does that have to do with anything related to signal crippling by Samsung... More importantly do even know what the CSC file is or does?

In case you don't (or in case someone else doesn't) the CSC is a “Consumer Software Customization” or “Country Specific Code“. It is a binary file that contains "customized settings, system configurations, localizations and geo-specific things such as the system language, APN settings, and carrier-branding."

If a certain CSC works better then another (or allows certain features that were not allowed previously) then it means the specifications required by the region and/or carrier(s) in question is at fault.

Now don't get me wrong, if Samsung is at fault it would be regardless of what CSC is flashed because it wouldn't work period. But before you could even pin the blame on Samsung you would have to rule out carrier limitations in service/coverage, signal interference whether natural or human-made and it would require that multiple phones of the same model and CSC that have similar or identical issues within that location (and others using the same criteria previously mentioned. It would then rule out bad batch of phones sold, issues isolated to one region, etc).

This would provide more concrete proof of a problem existing but only in the aspect of signal related issues that could be caused by Samsung. This does not include any other matter caused by 3rd party apps, customer expectations, customer wants, sales person misinformation to the customer, word of mouth influences, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] coilbio:
Yup, completely agree.

Now, why do other phones, not just by my experience, but others as well have better signal, louder and better sound, etc being right next to a Samsung?

I think you get it, the thing I don't understand is why it's ok for Samsung to protect themselves against class action lawsuits by limiting these things and we accept it as them protecting themselves instead of hampering their products?

That's what's really going on here.

And you say I have personal issues with Samsung, a company Ive probably spent more money supporting than you. Don't speak on me, find out why this is bugging you. Im not the one trying to defend a huge company that doesn't need partiality.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] scottusa2008:
It's almost like your obsessing over this "Samsung Defense" thing way to much.. Yes you have a personal issue and that is very very obvious.. We all have (or probably have) issues of some kind with the phone and nothing wrong with that.

But look if you want the answers your questions or go on more about your personal grievances then you need to Samsung directly. They have teams of people who I am sure can provide you with exact answers and more to your grievances and problems. No need to keep the conspiracy theory going any longer then it has already, so lets get back on topic k?.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] coilbio:
If you want to get back on topic I suggest you leave this thread because you've contributed nothing but personal grievances about other's "personal grievances" about issues of some kind with the phone, which we all have had according to you...

Looks like I've become your personal issue.

Never once referenced your character until you personally did to me.

Look at where you started and ended up, talking about me, you dont care about this threads topic, you're trolling, so please move on.

To the OP let me guess, you have a case with metal sides?

To be clear on Cricket using Pandora highest settings, NEVER stutters . That is hour long interstate drives in the middle of nowhere. Note 10+. Same was true for my Note 8.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] scottusa2008:
OP - Does this look like the equalizer settings you have?

If I try to adjust them one direction or the other I do not get an audio cut like what you describe. I do get some audio changes, most notably with the 250 slider and a couple others if I move them higher then the others. Adjusting the neighboring sliders caused the sound to level out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] coilbio:
Samsung has a clipping limiter in their dsp code.

Messing with any band frequency will be met with compensation decreasing the loudness by that same amount applied.

So moving up by any decible will clip the volume by that decible amount. So no real frequency boosting.

If you have root, get viper4android or use this mod to increase the limiter clipping itself but will cause distortion eventually beause of their dsp coding is the issue.

Not if those "different" devices are using the same exact hardware. The Snapdragon 855 has the radios on the chip. That means every single device that has the 855 should have the same reception. But this is not true because the power output of the chip can be turned up or down via firmware. And the type of antenna used also matters.

My OnePlus 7 Pro has the same 855 chip and radios as the Note 10+, and they have significantly different radio receptions, the Note 10+ being super poor. So let's not get too caught up on "different devices, there will be differences". Not if all of those different devices use the same chip and radios.

Again, you are talking about two different devices, that may, or may not use the exact same bands at the same time, devices that are built differently, materials, antennas, component disposition, chassis, back cover, etc, in short, people claiming deliberate signal capping by samsung is utterly wrong, besides, signal reception is more carrier dependant, why would samsung restrict the ammount of signal the phone receives? Because that is what you see in the indicators and apps that mesure these things, the strenght of the signal RECEIVED! not the emitted one, which is the one regulated by law, use some logic thinking, or at least, try to
