I bought an international model of the Note 8, model N950FXXS3CRF1, and ever since day 1, I can't get Samsung Pay to work. I was able to get it setup for my Gear S3, so it's not like I'm completely unable to use it, but this is a bit concerning for me in a way that I'll explain in a moment...

OK, I have a theory about what exactly is causing the phone to break: We all know that we can't boot into Android for some reason, and some are suggesting that the NAND flash is f***ed, and I have to say that I fully agree with that. When I first started to attempt to diagnose my phone's...

You might as well give up now. I posted about the same kind of issue, but all I did was install a custom recovery and then root my S7. I never installed a custom ROM. I'd suggest you read my post, as I go into quite a bit of detail, but the main point is that, even after using Odin to flash...

As of right now, you're probably f***ed. I just had that problem 3 days ago, and after letting the phone die, I plugged it in, and while I couldn't get into TWRP, I managed to get it into Download Mode, but after using Odin to flash the stock firmware and everything, I now can't even get back...

I've had this phone for about 2 months now, and from the beginning, it's had an issue where it would randomly freeze, restart, and get stuck in a boot loop for random amounts of time. Sometimes it would be fine after 2 minutes, sometimes it would need 10. I kept thinking this was a firmware...

I'm running Resurrection Remix, and while the S Pen DOES work, it's only recognized as a stylus. The button does nothing, which is a problem since I frequently highlight and copy text from places that you normally can't(Play Store descriptions, for example). I know about the handful of apps that...

So, I can't figure out why NFC won't turn on. At first, I thought maybe it was the Zerolemon battery, so I put the OEM battery back in, and it still won't turn on. Then, I tried going back to Android 5.1.1(received the phone with 6.0.1), but it's still grayed out. Finally, I decided to install...

Should I have wiped the Dalvik cache after installing the kernel? Taking the advice from others on this thread, I upgraded to the PG2 update, and re-flashed this kernel(Zerolemon version). However, when I just plugged my phone in to charge, the battery percentage is going up way faster than it...

Just so I'm 100% sure, have you personally tested the kernel on PG2? I want to update my phone in hopes that my issues with the vibrate function will be resolved, but I also heard that it may be a pain in the ass to downgrade should I need to.

I did that, but everybody else in the thread seems to be confident that they already know what it does.

Cool. One more question: do you know exactly what the Zerolemon fix does? I can't figure it out ANYWHERE. I have a Zerolemon battery, and would really like to know.

What method did you use for rooting and installing TWRP, or can I just use the same method used for PE3?

I've verified that the vibration motor is fine because it's working right now as I type this post. However, if I lock my phone and let it sit for maybe 5 minutes, when I pick it up again, it won't vibrate for ANYTHING unless I restart. This Note is running 6.0.1(PE3 update), is rooted, has TWRP...

What exactly does the Zerolemon fix do? Like, does it just fix the phone's percentage, or does it fix the whole Fast Charging issue?

The ROM is cool and all, but for some reason when I go to About Phone, the Settings app crashes.
