Front camera is not bad, it's horrible. even compared to galaxy A series. but since I barely use it, this is not a big deal for me. having a non-curved amoled screen with headphone jack and s-pen is something that I've been waiting for since note 5. So I accept the shortcomings of this phone...

I managed to downgrade from 9 to 8 using T825XXU3BSD1 UK rom. It had right bootloader version that made the process possible. give it a try

thanks for the answers. Edit: that's the proximity sensor as you said which lights up during calls, but I don't know why it was lighting up when there was no app running and the screen was off. odd behavior! perhaps accidental touch detection was acting incorrectly.

So I bought this phone yesterday, stock and no third party app. did a factory reset inserted the simcard and recieved a sms. when screen was off, a green small notification was blinking on left upper part of screen (something like what third party apps like aodnotify do but it was better). I was...

Dex is a selling point for Tab s4 and tab s6 and has nothing to do with android version. It's highly unlikely Samsung brings it to a previous version. I'm just hoping for a better performance and updated openGL and vulkan drivers. Not to mention many regions didn't get any security update since...

unlocked for fastboot flashing.

I flashed RETIN on RETEU and lost wifi. tried downgrade but on Oreo even sim cards and IMEI doesn't work finally after reflashing RETIN pie (about 3 times in a row) and doing a factory reset each time, everything is fine.

this is a well known issue of oneplus and when you report it, you either get ignored, or get a response like this: "oh my god, I can't believe you are having a problem. please send us a log and we will fix it in 2 hours. meanwhile, are you sure you are using a phone and not a sandwich maker?"...

Thanks for keeping it updated Could you please provide changelog for recent updates?

by "native dark mode in some parts" I mean dark quick settings, pop ups... and it's available on Pie. not systemwide dark mode of course :) about the LOS16 I tried that and as expected, mods had many issues. so waiting for official pie seems the better choice to me... btw the leaks about Z4...

I really hope that's the case, but based on my personal experience, I doubt it... That's a good point, "updates are not usually critical". But let's not forget they are one of the criteria showing a company's customer support. Pie brings features like native dark mode in some part, better...
