Hi,

I bought my device from Dubai, im using it on India. Now it is running Android 9 with OneUI 1.0. When tried to update software I can not see the update option in the setting list.

The model no mentioned in About phone is SM-N960F/DS

Current Build no. PPR1.180610.011.N960FXXU2ZRLR

Baseband N690NKOU3ASG1

Security patch January 1,2019

Also I can see netflix is not showing in the playstore and Magisk manager is pre installed.

My question is, if flash the latest android 10 firmware from sammobile using odin 3 , Does it will work indian sim? and is there anything I need to do to update the latest software.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
Is your device 2nd hand? If it is then I believe it has been rooted.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jijeshvu07:
i belive so, but I got the box unopened. may be they repackaged.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
The box still had the retail seals on it? Then your device maybe brand new. In which case I would return it to the retailer and ask for a replacement.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jijeshvu07:
I cannot return beacuse , i bought it from Dubai and i am in India. Thats why opted for firmware updation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
You can try reinstalling the stock OS back onto your device using Odin and see if that helps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ahmed123004:
Same issue

Did flashing the stock firmware help ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ahmed123004:
FOUND the answer

I HAVE found the source, i have a phone with same exact situation as the person who started this thread and i did some investigating and i found out my model is actually the korean variant of the note 9 single sim converted to duos variant F model with dual sim tray installed, meaning if you go to download mode you will be greeted by Korean and once you press volume up, you can see in the top left that its actually SM-N960N variant, but if you check the imei in the phone it will say its the F variant meaning imei have also been changed.:eek:

So if you flash stock rom you will lose dual sim status and probably enjoy korean language on the welcome page on loading up the phone and might even lose 4g 3g connectivity cause korean 4g/3g bands are different compared to india.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] jijeshvu07:
Did you found any solutions to the problem??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ahmed123004:
Sadly no

This is a risky procedure, we may loose our imei numbers or lose 4g connectivity, so for now ill stick with this rom, flashing the stock firmware and then upgrading to android 10 and redoing the entire conversion again from an N variant to an F/DS variant might be an option but that requires tools and skill, that is not easy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
No, you won't as the Korean N960N is essentially the same as the N960F (single SIM model). They are both GSM devices and will run on any global GSM Cell network. I have a N960N and I am using it on a Hong Kong Cell network and I get excellent coverage.

Also you can change the language during the Setup process, I believe it is on the bottom of the screen. I can't remember as it has been a while since I setup a Note 9.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Ahmed123004:
Issue being we might loose our changed imeis if we flash stock firmware because the current imeis are not the original imei for the N variant but show up as F variant instead.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] 1shaKM:
Hello, I have the exact same problem as the two of you above.

My question is have you found a way of updating to android 10?

Did you unroot the device or is the device still rooted?

If yes, how did you do it?

And is the device functioning properly?

What did you do?

I would like to chances of unrooting the device.

Same imei for two sims..can you address my concern.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
If you device is rooted, it won't received official Samsung updates as you have tripped Knox
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] xxmagus:
What options do we have in order to update to a later version? Is it possible to flash a stock ROM downloaded using Bifrost, and will that have any impact on the IMEIs and serial number? Can Knox be 'untripped' or the phone unrooted?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] BinukaSL:
you can unroot your device. but once KNOX is tripped. there's no way of going back. KNOX TRIP is permanent. even if you flash device stock firmware. you're not able to use Samsung Pass, Samsung Health like applications
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
Unfortunately you can no longer reset the Knox counter once it has been tripped now. You would have to manuallly install the latest stock OS onto your device using what OS install software you like.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] xxmagus:
Thank you and BinukaSL for the responses. Will this affect the IMEIs/serial numbers, as well as the dual-SIM functionality, of the Note9?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] iceepyon:
There is a chance that you lose the dual-SIM functionality on your device once you installed the stock OS back onto it.

[Nvidia Shield TV & Shield TV Pro (2019) Questions ] tjmethod:
I've tried to use web download on the Analiti app by accessing apkpure and bringing up an app I have on other android devices. It will not download then I found that BlueMail and Filelinked are "not compatable" from Nvidia yet watched videos on YouTube that were made up to just a couple months ago showing this being done. The only thing I can think of is firmware upgrade 8.2.1 as of 11/16 is what is causing this. I'm wondering myself if there is a workaround or how to downgrade back to the last firmware if anyone has any input on this?

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] xfile102:
I have a client who's wife died recently. As with any situation where the spouse dies at home, the police did a full investigation and went through all the computers and phones and the like and returned them to him. He desperately wants to get to the data on the phones, but cannot, as he does not know the PIN code to either. He has tried birthdays for the kids and every other things he can think of. He now only has 9 attempts left to get the PIN right, and fears the data will be lost if he gets it wrong. Is there any way to get to the data on these phones? Obviously we don't want to factory reset and risk losing everything. Any suggestions/ideas for help?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] StoneyJSG:
Only 2 ways. One is to use Samsung find my Mobile and the other is to use Google find my Device. Of course you might need to know the email and password. There's no way to bypass the PIN on Android 9 or 10 from the phone itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] xfile102:
So, she never registered the phone with Samsung, so the Samsung Find My Mobile isnt an option.

However, I have logged into the email and used the Google Find My Device. It lists the phone, the service is active, but the Gooogle FMP service says it cannot locate thee phone. Phone is powered on, SIM is inserted, and the service is active, as I can call and text the phone with no issues
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] linom:
If 'smart lock' was enabled, you could go to her favorite places (possibly their home) and the device would automatically unlock itself. The last option is to go to a Samsung service center with all documentation.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] trainhead:
Hello fellow nerds,

I bought a Xiaomi Mi 8 global 1.5 years ago. I was pretty sastisfied with it until a few days ago it suddenly started to behave very strangely. The problems are similar to some earlier posts in this forum: random lost of WIFI and cellular connection as well as random restarts. I tried out the following steps to solve this problem, but nothing worked for me:

1) Waiting patiently until the problem solves itself

2) Hard-Reset

3) Flashing new Firmware using XiaoMiTool V2

4) Flashing new Firmware using Fastboot

Does anyone have another idea what I could try out? I really don't want to buy a new phone as the Mi 8 fulfilled all my needs. If it's a hardware issue, is it possible to fix it on my own? I already have experience in opening phones and replacing parts of phones of other brands.

Thanks a lot!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Mutantedelorto:
it looks like we are all having the same problem.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] mont32:
I am having the same issue too!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] felixpaz1992:
Friend, if you already have experience disassembling the Xiaomi mi 8, I recommend that you disassemble the motherboard, remove the processor shield, clean the thermal paste that comes from the factory and place a 1mm thick thermal pad, replace the shield that you removed and replace Another thermal pad between the shield and the aluminum base of the display so that when you place the rest and fasten the screws, exert a slight pressure on the SoC of the processor, I tell you from my own experience, since my Xiaomi had the same problem and with I solved that, I already have 3 months without any failure and that I use my xiaomi intensively to play and watch movies
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] trainhead:
Thanks a lot for your reply, felixpaz1992! Since I have no other clue, I want to try your suggestion.

How did you get the idea to exchange the thermal pad? As far as I can remember, I had no trouble with the Mi 8 becoming too hot.

Thanks again!
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] felixpaz1992:
I first thought that the baseband problem was due to software, I tried everything original and custom and none solved it, another suggestion was to edit the NV file, it didn't work either, I tried restoring persist and it didn't work either, then I realized that the cell phone was heating up a lot and I thought it could be a problem with the wifi IC (Integrated Circuit), but inspecting and measuring with a tester I did not see or find anything strange, so I decided to disassemble and reassemble the wifi and there it worked for 2 or 3 days, one Once there I realized that it worked because when lowering and re-soldering the wifi hot air reached the SoC and there it worked, then 2 heating pads not mainly for heating but rather so that once armed it exerts a slight pressure on the SoC already that the baseband is integrated and if it does not make good contact with the welds, the problem of random reboots occurs and we are left without IMEI, that is, without, wifi, Bluetooth and GPS
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] omidzht:
it is not hardware problem, i think the bug is something regarding to region, "find device", google service or android 10.

xiaomi must fix it by update. it is a software bug.

the update 11.0.5.0 with android 10 is full of bugs.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] felixpaz1992:
My question is, do you think or are you sure that the problem is software?

if it is software we all would like to know how to fix it, because in my experience testing with android 9, android 10 With miui.eu and miui global with both I had the same problem until I apply heat to the SoC and a heating pad, since then I have not had not a single reboot or problem with WiFi or SIM card
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] omidzht:

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] itamar87:
sharing my experience...

- I have a 2 years old Mi 8 (was 64GB),

- for a few monthes - got a lot of calls disconnected because of no reception.

- one day all of a sudden - lost all reception ("no sim" icon), no wifi networks show, device lagging and rebooting every few minutes.

- I have 2 years warranty here, and it was the last week of warranty - so i went to the official repair place.

- after a few hours - they called me to say that the Motherboard was defective - and they're replacing it (for free of course).

(BTW, they didn't have 64GB motherboard - so they gave me 128GB motherboard)

- since then - signal okay, device okay, wifi okay.

- losing signal a lot - but maybe it's because of my work (a lot of driving every day, server rooms underground or with concrete walls, and so on...)

- even though my work is as described - i don't remember having reception issues when the phone was new (maybe changes in the carrier? cannot know...)

sorry for you that it might be hardware - that's what solved it for me.

Good luck.

p.s. - planned obsolescence?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] felixpaz1992:
I totally agree with you sir, it is a hardware problem, I do not know if it is programmed obsolescence, but what I am clear about is that I am tired of buying equipment with the same problems in the soldering of the SoC, the same thing happened to me with the LG G3, LG G4, Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Kostyaplay666:
I have the same problem and i don't know that to do

how to fix that?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Kumaoni:
thank you for the solution , my bro. i had a same issue with the other users of mi 8. i just want to know, for your solution only clean the old paste from the factory, put the new Thermal pad? only like that bro? and no change any hardware? how about the IC baseband/signal? you not change it ?

waiting your further answer bro. thanks a lot
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] felixpaz1992:
The most advisable thing would be that you take it to a technical service so that they do a "rework" to the SoC "CPU" since that is where the baseband is located
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Kumaoni:
So no need to change IC baseband? i was told the technical service about what you said on this thread. but the technician said it won't work if only clear the SoC and change the Thermal pad.

how your mi 8 now? i mean after you did what you said, like change thermal pad, it still works good?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] felixpaz1992:
It has been a long time since I changed equipment, it lasted about 6 months with the heating pad, but the most recommended thing if you still want to keep the Mi8 is to send it to have the "rework" done.
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Kumaoni:
what do you mean about rework my bro? change all equipments/hardwares? or Cpu component? sorry, i give you lot of questions
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] felixpaz1992:
"rework" is the process of desoldering, cleaning old tin and placing new once done, re-solder the SoC if you want a clearer idea in yotutube look for Snapdragon 845 cpu reball
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] Kumaoni:
got it. thank you my bro
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] PedroJapa:
Hello everyone,

I am having this issue but with my Zenfone 6 (2019) from Asus, it loses connection with wifi and sim also system crashes forcing shutdown. I've seen similar posts about Xiaomi's devices, but I'm still confused about the issue. So the problem is related to a hardware issue right? Is the Xiaomi's issue could be related to mine?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] felixpaz1992:
Due to the problems described above, it seems that it could be a hardware failure, but to be clear, this type of failure is due more to the quality of the solder than to OEM brands such as Xiaomi, since it occurs when the solder alloy of the SoC "processor" is of low quality or due to intensive use of the equipment

Hello,

I have a flatrate that only enables Ports 80 and 443 (German T-Mobile web'n'walk).

I'd like to connect to an jabber network via Port 443 (e.g. jabber80.com or ccc.jabber.de), because I think that my ISP does some packet inspection on Port 80.

I tried e.g. talkonaut, but it doesn't work.

Has someone any experience with progs that use SSL via Port 443 unter WM 6.1?

Many thanks in advance,

The difference is that it will have 12GB RAM and also a new frost black color.

The storage have also increased compared with the carrier locked models in Japan but the international models all have 256GB so it probably doesn't matter to most here.

The preorder has started but the launch date is 30 Oct which is still fairly far off.

Spec sheet is here, bands are listed

https://www.sonymobile.co.jp/xperia/xperia1m2/spec_sony.html

And a Japanese reviewer talking about the new model here, first half is about him mainly talking about what SIM free is.

There's also some spec up for the Xperia 1 and 5 SIM free versions which may not apply to international models

You can probably get the gist with auto translate closed caption.

12gb ram, not 16 :D

Would love to get the frost black! But yeah, the Oct 30 release date is so far off. On top of that, the price would most likely be high on eBay or something since this is a Japan exclusive. Loving that 12gb version though, especially that Sony is great with RAM management.

Purchased these off of Amazon and they seem okay until you try to get the edges to seal to the screen. Mine has a small gap I think because the actual screen protector is too big for the screen. So I would avoid.

[Google Pixel 4a Accessories] jjesusfreak01:
Have the Omoton protector. Covers the usable screen, could be a bit wider, but it's better than their 3a protector, which distorted the edges of the display. No clarity issues, no installation issues. The cutout at the top of the screen for the speaker is unnecessarily wide. No hole punch. Reddit hasn't noticed a difference in selfie quality with/without a screen protector covering the camera.

My review of the Zagg Invisishield screen protector offered on the Google Play Store. Within 2 days of receiving the phone & applying the protector, I had thought I cracked my screen. Turned out to be the screen protector so Google is refunding me for that 40 bucks. Whew. Don't get tempered glass protectors. I hadn't dropped the phone or anything so the Zagg just decided to splinter and crack on its own.
