Note 9 yellowish scree

hi I've faced the yellowish screen problem recently. My phone is 1 year and 7 months old. I visited samsung service center in my city in India. 1st they told me it was your fault that because of your mishandling this has happened and some brainless person told me to go for replacement which cost around 21000 rs(300$) in India. But then i asked them to find any dent, crack or even a scratch on body or glass if its mishandling. Then i showed them this article. https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-note-9-march-2020-security-update-broken-screen/

Manager head technician accepted the fact that this wasn't my fault any kept phone with him. After 20-25 days now i have my phone with screen replaced without giving a single penny. Samsung is such greedy company that pushes such faulty updates and loot consumers like they haven't looted us enough with such heavy priced phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RonChinoy:
Which city ?.

Because in Bangalore they kept for my phone for a week and returned it without doing anything.

Same issue not a single scratch, dent or bump. Mint phone. But Audio Dead.

They told me to my face and in writing that no Note 9 users have reported any problems after the update.

I told them to visit XDA and their own company community pages but they ignored me.

They demanded that the only way they would help is if I paid 26500 to replace the board. ANd even that would take weeks. Due to present situation.

Another guy in another city was quoted 18K for his Note 9 main board. So it seems they can charge what they want.

There is no fixed rate. They cant even match the rates on their own web site.

Lets just say you got very lucky or you have good contacts.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] gunjanadhvaryu:
I am in Surat. I didn't have any contacts in Samsung service center. I went there and requested to look upon my problem. 1st the illiterate girl at the desk ignored me but when the manager/chief engineer came to know about the problem he peacefully heard me. I used my "Being A Doctor trump card" to further make him believe that i was no joking and lying. And ultimately I was lucky. Though i was very much prepared to go in consumer court if that failed.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RonChinoy:
They just returned my phone and told me to come back when I was willing to pay 26500 for a new board.

did not work! can you give more information !?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] sureshiyer:
Looks weird but its working for me, tap to switch on always on display then open the phone with fingerprint or other methods, screen becomes normal !!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] RonChinoy:
So I opted to fix my own phone.

WHat I found was that the over heating had cause some microscopic balls of lead to have melted during the over heating and these were all over the main board. I suspect some got under the Amplifer 98512 IC. So I purchased the part form china for 2$. Purchased a microscope and fix it myself.

I also cleaned the main board in ultrasonic machine to make sure all the small balls were dislodged. Its been over a week and my phone is working fine.

I suspect if you try all the software options and nothing works. Open the back cover and look for these tiny balls. If you see them clean the board and put it back it may start working. If it has shorted something off course you will see the damage. May times just a clean and re-seating the flex cable solves the problem.

I wonder if Samsung return your old board if they charge you for a new one.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] MrGoochi:
Hi , i also have a screen problem with my Galaxy Note 9 Edge but i don't know if it is the same as the above problems. The problem started when i turned on the "always display on" option and set the clock to orange. I don't know if this is a coincidence but as soon as i turned that option 2/3s of my screen turned to orange as seen on the attached picture. I tried reverting the options but with no luck. Anyone have any idea what's going on? Did i messed some some settings? I have the latest update installed.

From what I have heard if you use the gesture navigations instead of the on-screen button navigation method. You should not experience the green screen issue.

If it's an LCD display they don't just turn yellow.

Flash it back to the firmware it was running on.

Rule #1 if the phone is running fast and stable, leave it be.

Hi!

I'm an owner of an OnePlus 7. I upgraded to Android 10 a while ago and the new OxygenOS looks and feels amazing.

But I also wonder if a custom ROM is still needed or preferred over OxygenOS?
[OnePlus 7 Questions & Answers] ajsat3801:
Yeah... I'm still for having custom roms... OnePlus right now offers bimonthly updates, so people who want to run the very latest version of Android have to use custom roms.. also OnePlus may not have some features which users who are coming from a custom rom may miss..
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] zic1:
I noticed strange behaviour few days ago. In internal storage I creeated folder Apk where I am storing some downloaded apps for offline instalations in case I need them again. But every little apps are missing. For example today morning I have 47 apk files and right now there are only 7. Also I noticed that folder named RecycleBinHW is increasing so I assume that files are moved there somehow??? Before this phone owned Samsung phones for last 6 years and never experienced such issues. How to stop this weird action of my phone and did anybody else have same problem?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] EatSleepTechRepeat:
Have you tried resetting the phone, to see if it makes a difference? Maybe worth getting a USB C pen to save APK's to? I know that Huawei have Petal Search which searches for all the APK's you need. Could save sometime?

I never experienced such issue with any device in last 10 years since I am using Android phones. It is really makes me crazy. In Optimizer I disabled everything I could. This morning I downloaded few apk files and I just found that all gone from my folder... Unbelivable that I can not control my own phone...
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Filke:
Hello mates, same problem with my P30 and Optimizer app. It randomly erases some files that are recognized as junk but they aren't junk and not just apk files. I read that solution to remove Optimizer with ADB isn't the smartest idea. I disabled Optimizer settings to do "Auto-clean junk files". Is is enough or I could do something else?

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuDB:
Hi all,

So I thought I was being smart and tried to install the fireos app store to try skygo on my fire stick 4k.. also stupidly installed on my fire tv (the old box one) as I was using apps2fire and had the wrong ip set!

The problem I've got now is I can't open any apps or the app menu. And to make it worse the app store I installed doesn't work either!!

Could anyone extract the FireTV version so I can reinstall it properly?

If that doesn't work, does anyone know how I can restore without having to reinstall and setup all my apps?

Cheers
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuDB:
Ok after a lot of troubleshooting I've managed to solve this.

For anyone who might ever manage to end up making the same stupid mistake.. I installed ES file explorer on my phone, pushed it to the fire stick (Amazon appstore version wouldn't open with busted app store). Navigate to system apps and find com.amazon.venezia, that's the appstore. Delete it!

Once I removed it, it was magically replaced with the normal one and all is good.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcn50:
@StuDB

Sorry to revive an old post.

Thank you very much for this life saving thread! I had done the same accidently: I installed the ANDROID Amazon App Store on the Fire TV~.

Because connecting the FireTV stick to my PC by USB wasn't mounting the disk: I had to use ADB to access the files remotely via the Wifi (there is a ZIP to download and extract on Windows to gain ADB capability). Once connected into the device, I had to run this command to remove the APP:

pm uninstall com.amazon.venezia

After a restart of FireTV: everything has back to normal~~ whew!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StuDB:
I completely forgot about this post but I'm glad it helped someone!
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skel40:
Usually clearing the data of com.amazon.venezia and force stopping should allow it to work again. This forum is old I'll test the pm uninstall command listed above to confirm
[Samsung Galaxy A20 Questions & Answers] ceai:
Hello everyone, I'm trying to flash Havoc os 3.0 alongside with BitGaps, but it always ends up in a bootloop (I always wait one hour in the "android" boot screen). My device is the A205G with Android 10. I successfully flashed TWRP using the guide posted here in xda (also flashed magisk), then I flashed Havoc and BitGaps (wiping dalvik, cache, data and system first and then doing a factory reset), but ended up in a bootloop after rebooting to system. In a second try after reinstalling Android 10 stock rom I followed the steps shown in a youtube video (can't post link since I'm a new user) with no luck (still getting a bootloop). In a third try I just flashed the stock rom, then flashed twrp with odin and tried to flash Havoc without flashing Magisk at any moment, still bootloop. Any ideas or suggestions on what could be wrong? I've only flashed one device before with a custom rom so I'm not an expert in this area, any help will be appreciated.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] PMad:
Does anyone else have this issue? Most of the time, when somebody calls, I get nothing that comes up on my screen. It's totally blank, no options to answer or reject the call.

I've factory reset a couple times, once when unlocking the bootloader to root it (this was after it happened with stock OS).

Any ideas on how to fix this? Some calls work, most don't...
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] misteurz:
Yes!

I have the same issue on my Oneplus 8 Pro!

It's an awful bug.

---------- Post added at 20:02 ---------- Previous post was at 20:01 ----------

I've found a temporary solution : I've installed a third phone app, set it as default phone app, and then set the OnePlus phone app as default again.

after reboot, the issue is gone for a few days.

but it come again...

Maybe it can work for you too?
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] PMad:
I do have the should I answer app installed which is supposed to be set as the primary dialer, and does have its own UI for answering calls, but that doesn't come up either. Even when swapping from one to the other, rebooting or not.

I had a chat with OnePlus, they told me to reset my network settings which I did, and it began to work just fine, but today it's doing it again and I've done nothing to the phone. Changed no settings, installed no apps, etc...
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] henk-jan:
My solution is, answering a call by holding the phone to the ear (in quick gestures, lift to answer or something alike (I'm Dutch))

It doesn't show the button but it works :)
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] misteurz:
Honestly,

I have had many phones... LG Gx, Galaxy Sx, Huawei PxxPro, and the OnePlus 6.

The OnePlus 6 was my best experience.

But I'm very disappointed about the amount of bugs on this 1000€ OnePlus 8 Pro...
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] PMad:
I think I found the solution... I might be wrong, need to do more testing.

Settings > Battery > Battery Optimization > Tap the 3 dots at the top right corner and select Advanced optimization

On that screen, I disabled the "Sleep standby optimization" and so far it's worked perfectly.

I did this because a lot of my apps, with and without optimization would not give me notifications until I unlocked me phone, as though my phone was deep sleeping. Makes me wonder if this was preventing the phone app from displaying the UI because it was in too deep of a sleep.

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] misteurz:
It didn't work [emoji29][emoji29]
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] misteurz:
So, I've found the answer :)

It's true, it's related to the driving mode.

As I have chosen, a few weeks ago to hide the notification related to the "driving mode" still open when I leave my car, I was fxcked.

I've wipe cache of the phone app : no result

I've reset presets of the phone on android settings : no results.

I've wiped cache of the phone : victory : the problem is solved : I have the notification to close the "driving mode" still open.

So if you want to do the same thing :

Power off your OnePlus 8 Pro.

Push power and low volume at the same tame until the phone ask you your code .

You now select English language, wipe cache and data, wipe cache, ok and then reboot.

Don't wipe data, just cache, or you will loose all your datas [emoji6]

Is there a Download mode on Google Pixels? On a few XDA threads people were saying you could press volume up + connect to PC and you would get to this Firmware Update/Download mode. My questions are:

1. Is this true?

2. What tools could we use to flash firmware in this mode?

3. Most of the XDA threads were about the Google pixel 2 XL so is Download mode in other Pixel devices as well?

Paging [MENTION=10562133]sharadm12[/MENTION] !

I'm looking to upgrade one or two phones soons, and TeraCube looks good, on a technical/value and mission value level both. (I probably would have gone w/ Fairphone if they supported US better).

Just a couple thoughts/notes: You need to get the word out more, somehow. (If I had seen the kickstarter in time, probably would have supported!) I have a feeling there would be more activity on here if people even just knew about it. Have you (the company) considered donating some handsets to the various ROM groups? (LineageOS, PixelExperience are the two that come to mind)

It looks like the repair portion at least is based out of Redmond, is that where the company itself is? I'm curious if the repair price will be sustainable, esp. in Redmond.

Thanks for your time!
[Teracube smartphone] sharadm12:
Hi there,

Thanks for your post. You are right - reaching masses has been a challenge :). Part of the equation is the market which quite saturated with established brands. We have been able to make some headlines though. Our next launch should get more traction hopefully.

Not yet. Great idea though. We should be able to explore this once we get to stable software release schedule in few months.

Yes - we are based in Redmond, WA. From a customer viewpoint, most repairs will be a swap with factory certified unit. We will do bulk repair of all returned devices (to ease out the costs) and return them to the factory certified pool. This way we are able to help our users as quickly as possible while keeping repair costs manageable.
[Teracube smartphone] fcheadle:
seconded

I totally agree. I also picked it because fairphone didn't have US support. if they're supposed to last longer due to modularity, then OSes like LineageOS should be able to squeeze way more life out of them.

I am also interested in ROM and upstream support (kernel at least) for my next phone.

[Security Discussion] markdavisjones:
I have app snitch running in the background on my samsung phone and it's flagged a few apps (the Puffin browser is the latest one) making unusual unsecured connections to localhost on ports like 44541, 56566, 56582, etc.

It also picked up a connection from the Android System app attempting a connection to my routers IP address on port 67.

This is unrooted phone, no development going on. Is this normal, or should I be concerned?
