For sure if you don't play games like Unreal games... Try to play 20/30mn on a Unreal Games, Phone is Hot quickly, and if you play under the sun, Phone has heat issues (it's the summer in France, temperatures are at ~30°+)

The Snapdragon is knowed for have Heat issue, you can't do a complete Benchmark like Antutu without Heat Issue / Throttle.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Indha Lezzio:
You have the TRUTH
[Xiaomi Mi 11] Pho3nX:
Hmmmm, the pointless and sarcastic answer. It's a forum, not a fight. Explain your experiences, your feedback, instead of answer that just because someone don't agree with you.

I'm just explaining that the Snapdragon is known to heat up, especially in games & benchmarks.

If yours doesn't heat up, either you don't have a Snapdragon 888 or you don't play with it. nothing else.

TSMC bailed Qualcomm out of a jam earlier this year when the Snapdragon 888 produced by Samsung caused overheating issues

Xiaomi users are facing issue of burnt motherboards on the Mi 11

My phone only heats while charging.

If u only do stress benchmarks and hard playing (20-30 minutes with top games) it's normal that any phone heats.

Hello Fellow note 9 users,

Please any advice will be appreciated, i got drenched by rain and my note 9 display starts blinking and some parts of the screen wont even respond. I couldnt power it off because of the pin which can be entered due to the scrren defect. so i kept it in rice for a day and also used hair drying, to my suprise, the affected part works so i have been able to switch it off because the screen still blinks and not stable.

What can i do again because the price of the screen it out of this world. any advise please
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Power it down immediately!!!

It must be opened and dried ASAP!

Disconnect the battery first.

Flush with copious amounts of anhydrous isopropyl alcohol. Allow the alcohol to absorb the moisture then displaced as much of the alcohol as possible using a flinging motion or better, low pressure compressed dry air.

The room humidity should low so the hygroscopic isopropyl doesn't grab moisture from the air. It is flammable!!!

Allow to dry completely before plugging battery back in.

A day or two in a warm dry room with a fan on it should do the trick.

Time is of the essence to save this device!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lakecyd:
thank you, i have opened it and blowed it with low pressure air. although its still opened. i will need to get isopropyl alcohol then.

Thanks for your help. i just hope it works
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lakecyd:
Thanks. Although after opening the phone, i didnt see any trace ofmosture or water in it which got me worried
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Disconnect the battery. Energized circuits corrode.

If there's no apparent moisture, leave it air dry in a warm room for a few days with a fan on it.

If any moisture gets into the microconnectors for the ribbon cables it can behave like that.

It can be difficult to detect... one small drop is all it takes.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lakecyd:
Alright thanks. will leave it dry
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Once my Buds case fell straight into a full cup of coffee, cream and sugar. Fortunately the Buds weren't in it.

After a brief deep cup savage mission I tore it straight apart. The battery is spot welded in so in it it stayed. Fortunately I has RO water to flush out the sugar with and I always keep a bottle of anhydrous isopropyl on hand. Chased the RO water with alcohol and left it to dry.

A day later I checked it out. A-OK, a little bit of sketchy performance at first but that soon subsided.

2 years later it's still is working.

Fast action can save devices even from coffee🤣

If it's salt water though... it's already dead💀
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lakecyd:
I have dried the phone well, but can I use methylated spirit to wash the internals, It contains alcohol also. Or what do you think
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
No! 99% Isopropyl alcohol only. Drug stores have it although it may be 96%, not perfect but acceptable. Don't use 70%

No telling what additives are in denatured ethanol alcohol.

Ethanol it's self may react differently to the plastics than isopropyl.

You want to limit exposure time as well; permeate everything and get it off as quickly as possible.

NEVER use any kind of solvent including isopropyl on or near a LCD display, it will kill it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lakecyd:
Hello, thanks for the help so far, I got isopropyl 88%. Is that fine? Can I use it on the motherboard?

Thanks for the help
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
That's 12% water... not good. The purpose of using anhydrous isopropyl is to absorb the moisture thereby displacing it.

That extra 12% is a lot of water you don't need.

You're better off leaving it open with a fan on it in a warm dry room.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lakecyd:
View attachment 5350099

This is what's on the pack
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
No. Anhydrous isopropyl is 99% pure isopropyl alcohol, the rest in water.

You want it's chemical and physical properties.

I have no idea how that combination would perform. You already have one rogue experiment running, don't add more variables to the mix!

At this point just leave it open and allow it to dry completely.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lakecyd:
Hello, Thanks for the help so far. After leaving it to dry for few days now. I finally put it up yesterday and it came up. the screen and all works but i noticed the screen is a bit faint, i mean not sharp and when i lock the phone, before the AOD shows, i notice like a white flash towards the bottom of the screen.

please what can i do again,
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lakecyd:
I noticed something again, if i increased the brightness totally, i wont see that blurry aspect again. everything just looks good but very bright, but once i decrease the brightness to the normal level, i start seeing that blur and thick lines underground
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Still has moisture present or contacts got corroded. Pull the battery!

If you can pull off the ribbon connectors the display, carefully do so.

Disassemble as much as possible then flush it well with anhydrous isopropyl. Remove as much of the alcohol as possible, allow to completely again. It will need extended drying time if not fully disassembled. Keep the drying area warm (heat drives out moisture) with a fan on the phone. You can make a warm box for it if you leave in the tropics. Any heated semi sealed enclosure with a couple cubic feet or more of space will do but keep it the temp below 140F.

Observe ESD protocols as best you can as static discharge can easily damage out of circuit subassemblies.

Make sure, at least, the room humidity is 50% or higher when handling. Use a bare wood table or piece of wood to work on if you have no ESD mat. Discharge yourself to an earth ground frequently if no wrist strap but do not touch earth ground when handling components.

If you can feel, see or hear static discharge, it's already way more than enough to cause damage.

Move to a drying area when done, but reassemble using ESD protocols.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lakecyd:
thank you for all the help so far, so i should discharge myself continuously, open up the phone again and dry out the board and wash with isopropyl and dry out again, right.

thank you
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lakecyd:
thanks once again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lakecyd:
Hello,

After doing all you mentioned, heating the board countless times with even hair drying, powering it back on, still gave me the same result. I dont even know what to do. i might do a little video of the screen so you see what i am saying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The chances of repairing this device are not good. The battery may have been connected too long after exposure. Every time you connect the battery before it's dry, the more damage is done.

Using a hair dryer is not recommended.

It needs to be torn completely down at this point and all ribbon cable connector pins inspected. The mobo may have corrosion damage. If it's under a BGA* it's not practical or easy to repair. Corrosion damage is insidious and progressive once started.

If it's just water with no formed corrosion under a BGA, in a connector socket etc, anhydrous isopropyl alcohol can be used to chase it out.

Pull all ribbon connectors first. You'll need full access to the mobo and display.

Flush well and repeatedly. Use low pressure dry air to blow off as much of the alcohol is possible.

Pay special attention the BGA ICs, blow the alcohol out from underneath if possible.

Out of circuit subassemblies are susceptible to ESD damage ie static discharge. ESD procedures should be used when disassembling and handling the subassemblies. Leave dry in a warm dry area with a fan on the parts for at a few days. All areas including under the BGA's must be completely dry before powering it up again.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lakecyd:
Thanks @blackhawk , will try all again and give you a feedback. If i am to understand you clearly. I am to wash the board and dry intensively. nothing should be done to the screen right?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
There's nothing that can be done except pulling it's connectors. There may be moisture trapped there. If you pull the mobo just submerge it into a tray of anhydrous isopropyl until it's completely saturated. You want it to get under the BGA's to remove trapped moisture. May take some time, minutes to hours.

Use your best judgement.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] lakecyd:
Hello @blackhawk, thanks for the support so far, I really appreciate.

I have dried the phone constantly, like you suggested. I soaked the mobo in isopropyl, dried it and then wiped it with tissue later. i left it in a warm environment for an extended period so it can even get dryer. but after doing that for like 3 days. i tried to put it back on but still nothing changed. Maybe its damaged because i couldnt put the phone off on time when the whole thing started. I will upload the short video i took so you see the screen while i try to brighten the phone, you will see the lines i talked about and then how the phone does when i try to do lock screen

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] jabulani666:
I've been visiting this site for the last two weeks, but I can't find the right link.

I'd like to know how to dump my radio. I've seen some info on dumping a rom, but not a radio rom.

I have a phone thats in korean and I would like to flash a english rom to it.

Before I can flash a new rom , I heard that you first have to unlock it, and in order to do that you have to reflash your original radio back. I have found some other radios on this site but I wont be able to use them, because phones from outside korea can't be registered on korean cell networks. So I need to dump my original radio and then put it back after I have flashed the english rom.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks a million.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] RChadwick:
After having this phone over a year, this suddenly started happening a week ago. Existing bluetooth devices worked, but I was unable to add any new devices. In one device, there should be a pop-up showing the PIN for pairing, and that never pops up. In other cases, I'm unsure if there would be a pop-up, but there never is one. It simply says 'Pairing', and eventually times out. I tried rebooting, turning off and on Bluetooth, and then resetting network multiple times, but the problem persists. Of course, now I have no Bluetooth devices paired, and can't pair any, so Bluetooth is in essence broken. What else can I try? Was this related to the most recent update?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] RChadwick:
As an update, I found the problem. Hopefully this will help someone. Apparently I was concerned about privacy, and went through all my apps removing permissions that looked suspicious. One of those was causing the issue. I found that if I booted in Safe Mode, Bluetooth worked fine, but would stop pairing again in normal mode. I reset App Permissions, and Bluetooth is working again!

[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] ayersf:
Hello everyone! Thanks in advance for taking a look at this thread.

I recently upgraded from a Pixel 2 to a Pixel 5 and decide to root my old phone and mess around with that before doing the same with my new phone. It's been several years since I've messed around with rooting a device, so I've spent some time this week refreshing myself on how to do so.

I've already unlocked my bootloader, but the main issue that I'm running into is when I try to install TWRP or Magisk. For some reason, when I try to flash TWRP (version 3.3.0.0), I've managed to install it properly but loading into recovery mode just leaves me stuck at the TWRP splash screen, while booting directly into it doesn't allow me to backup my data (kicking out an error 255 each time). It would be nice to have TWRP to be able to back up rather than starting from scratch each time, even if I've gotten quick at flashing the stock image when I screw up later.

As for Magisk, I've tried flashing the patched boot image through TWRP and received errors (size of image is larger than target device) as well as the .zip file which just caused a bootloop. I know you can install Magisk without TWRP, so I've tried doing that as well. I've been working with both Magisk 23.0 and the Canary build with no luck; after patching the boot image and attempting to flash it using fastboot flash boot magisk_patched.img, I just repeatedly get an error showing "FAILED (remote: 'Error flashing partition')".

So far I've not really been able to find any solutions on how to fix this, so I feel a bit stuck at this point (and definitely questioning my ability to just follow directions). Any advice on how I might get around these errors?
[Google Pixel 2 Questions & Answers] :
Hello mate,

With regards to installing twrp, I think there is a workaround in the official twrp thread to get twrp installed with working decryption and working pin by rolling back to a pie build prior to encryption being broken for twrp. Personally I just fastboot it when needed to flash anything but sadly twrp back ups don't work (I'm on A11).

It sounds as if you have tried to install magisk a few ways but I found the simplest way was to install the latest magisk.apk then rename it to magisk.zip and flash it via fasbooted twrp.

It sounds as if you tried patching the image etc so may pay to reflash the stock boot.img and then do the APK/zip method to get magisk running.

Lastly, if you don't mind losing your data it may well pay to reflash a full stock.img and then try magisk again. It's solved a few dramas for me when stuff didn't seem to work first time round.

Hi,

I accidentally bricked my magician by trying to upgrade a damaged ROM.

Now I am not able to use the mtty.exe to get the backup of ROM on my SD Card. (256 MB)

First of all when I connect my Magician to the PC via USB with SD card inserted - i get the error message "USB Device not recognized" message. I took out the SD card, reconnected to PC and then inserted the SD card back in, started mtty.exe and typed d2s, my Magician's screen goes blank without any progress showing and mtty.exe does not appear to do anything.

Whenever I try to start my Magician - I'm stuck at SERIAL/USB 1.02 Bootloader screen.

I took out the battery, connected my magician to PC and inserted the batter - the magician now boots but gets stuck at I-Mate Splash Screen.

In this state, it can however connect to ActiveSync and I can browse the contents of Phone, Storage and Storage Card at this moment.

Can someone help me in fixing this issue? Much appreciated.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:
I managed to start my Magician, but still it is not working properly.

At the I-Mate splash screen, I connected it to my PC, went to \Windows folder >> went to Startup folder. I removed everything from there, restarted my Magician - it automatically went into the bootloader mode (the main issue that i'm facing) I took out the battery from it, while it was connected to PC and reinserted it back quickly. Now it is up and running again, but I can't flash it using USB now, everytime I try to do so - it restarts and sits in the Bootloader mode. I think my bootloader is not allowing me to flash my device.

Can I reflash my bootloader? If yes, then please can someone let me know the detailed procedure?

Id get the stock Rom and the No_id rom programmer thing, then use the no_id thing to update the rom while its in boot-loader mode..Oh and i find it helps to reboot my PC and swap to a differant USB port on the pc aswell
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] sardanadixit:
What I think is my Bootloader is damaged, it is not allowing me to flash any ROM. I can bypass the bootloader by taking out the battery while it is connected to the PC (the LED goes red when I take out the battery) and then reinsert the battery. Following this process, it does not goto the Bootloader screen, rather it loads the Windows. But when I soft reset it gets stuck at the Bootloader again.

Some of the files in \Windows folder are also corrupt and I am not able to flash my magician to replace them.

Can anyone give the steps to flash the bootloader - I have the bootloader.bin image from another Magician, but do not know how to flash it. plz help.

I'd suggest you start testing the device with the stock ROM image (from t-mobile or clubimate's website). This incudes the radio ROM and the extended ROM as well.

Open your device manager (right-click on MY COMPUTER and select MANAGE) then right-click on your PPC hardware, select UPDATE DRIVER. Browse to where you unzipped the drivers, and select WCEBUSH. (Driver is now successfully installed).

Manually place your phone in bootloader mode, then start the RUU update (using the NO_ID version). It should complete with no problems.
