Most likely not. I've had that notification blocked for over a year now.

I just dumped my firmware (10i) using the patched LGUP. The phone is in Download/Firmware Update mode. Is there any way to get out of this besides pulling the battery? Thanks

I have an H918 that is running 10i and is still ARB 0. I am researching the various root methods and I am wondering if there is any real benefit to staying on ARB 0. If there is, I'll go with DirtyCow, if not, I can go with Lafsploit. If I use Lafsploit and flash 10p, and increment to ARB 1...

"Lifetime Calls" in settings is a great indicator of a used phone for sure, but I don't think the H918 has it. My VS995 has it, but neither of my H918's have it, unfortunately. They only have "up time" which only tells you how long the phone has been on since the last power cycle.

I was recently in the same boat so I'll take a stab at this. By "genuine", are you asking if it is a real H918 or are you asking if it is "new/unused"? The listing says it's new. I would say there is about a 99.9999999999% chance it is not "new/unused". All of your suspicions are valid. I...

I've read just about every thread about speaker issues and haven't seen any discussion about this, so here goes... I just switched from Verizon on a VS995 (running 17a) to T-mobile (H918). At the moment, I have 2 H918's. One is on 10i and the other is on 10u. All phones are unrooted/stock. The...

Yes, I'm in the US. totalwireless.com. I haven't tried it yet. True, the VS995 is pretty useless on GSM networks.

Does anyone know if there are any actual physical differences between an H918 from late 2016 and one from late 2017? Any hardware improvements/changes? Thanks

Just for grins I tried my T-Mobile SIM in my VS995 tonight and after setting up the APN, the best I could get was "H". It briefly flashed 4G LTE for about 10 seconds though... Your best bet is to go with an MVNO that uses Verizon's network. Total Wireless has a pretty decent deal that I have...

I wasn't able to get Debloater to work on my LG V20 VS995, so I followed BombeerHC's advice and used adb to list all the packages, and it actually works! Surprisingly easy. Thanks! I was able to see a list of 265 packages. Unfortunately, I couldn't see any of the packages I was hoping to...

I just did this on a new VS995 and I didn't have to do the secondary power button press. That didn't work. I just held the Volume Down button and Power button and the phone booted into System Recovery. It gave the following options: 1. Continue Power Up 2. Safe mode 3. USB debug mode 4...

Is there a way to tell if a VS995 has been refurbished? I know there is an app for Samsung phones called Phone Info. It will tell you if the phone is refurbished and it tells how many times the headphone and power jacks have been connected etc. Is there anything like this for the V20? Are...

That's a great idea. It appears that I have to be rooted to access power button input. I plan to root so maybe this will be my best option. Thanks for replying

Yes, TuneIn is definitely overriding the system screen timeout and there are no settings to disable this. I have tried to have Tasker turn off the screen when TuneIn is running, but it isn't working which is why I asked for help here. Any suggestions?

The TuneIn app overrides the Android system screen timeout. If I don't manually turn the screen off, it will stay on indefinitely. Not good. First, I made a task in Tasker that sets the screen timeout to 1 minute. Next, I made a profile in Tasker that runs this task when the TuneIn app is...

Thanks for the reply. I think just about everything advertised as new on ebay is refurbed.

Use Debloater, then freeze SDM.apk. Root not required, very easy.

I just bought what I am 99.999999% sure is a brand new Note 4. It has absolutely NONE of the tell tale signs of being a refurb. I had two refurbs before getting this one and it seems like the real deal. However... The Phone Info app shows Headset and charger connects as 2 and 3 (good) but...

GPS on MM Can anyone who has updated to MM/6.0.1 comment on whether or not GPS performance has improved or worsened? Thanks

I'm not sure if that is correct. I used my N910T in Spain, Italy and France for 4 months recently without any issues (except GPS, but that is beside the point). I bought a SIM card for each country. As a side note, it was amazing how cheap and fast data plans were in Italy. Incredible.

I was getting pestered to take the update constantly so I finally installed Debloater to stop it. Here is a link to what I did: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294/post64358977#post64358977 It was extremely easy and it stopped the update...

That is a very good question. I would really like to know this as well.

Thanks, that was a helpful reply. If I understand you correctly, it sounds like you actually prefer the stock 5.1.1. kernel. Were you also rooted prior to the 5.1.1. update, using a custom kernel?

My Note 4 is the older 910T variant. It is still running 5.0.1. I have not taken the 5.1.1 update yet which I blocked using the Debloater. I have not rooted yet because I have a pending warranty issue (GPS) I need to take care of. Here is my question. Is the root method for 5.0.1...

This is amazing. When you took the phone apart did it appear that the contacts would benefit from being bent? Did it look like they probably weren't making a good connection? Or did you just bend them up anyway and hope for the best? I generally haven't had a problem obtaining a GPS fix, the...

Interesting. I have heard about the loose antenna, but I haven't heard of dropping the phone. I'm about ready to drop mine from 100 feet onto concrete!!!!

This guy was able to do it on an AT&T Note 4 with 5.0.1 http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-note-4/453482-samsung-galaxy-note-4-gps-problem-10.html#post4635987 So maybe T-Mobile has disabled this feature. Any thoughts?

I have the 910T unfortunately. My warranty is up in June. Hopefully Sammy will exchange it when I get back to the states.

You could be right. I had no idea it was only on KitKat. Thanks for chiming in. For the record, the GPS on my Note 4 is basically useless

Has anyone here with a T-mobile GN4 been able to perform an NV Rebuild? Many have said this has helped their GPS accuracy. I have tried and tried but can't get it to work. Here is how it is supposed to be done: 1.On your phone keypad type *#9090# this will open secret menu 2. In the...

Hello Debloaters, I have a T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 running 5.0.1. I finally finished reading the entire thread and took the Debloater plunge today. I installed Debloater 3.90, connected my phone and voila! It shows all the packages on my phone. Nice. My primary reason for using this is to...

I haven't rooted yet and I'm not sure I want to take this update yet. How can I turn off the auto update feature? The phone is telling me it wants to download the update and the next time I connect to wifi it will. Is there any way to prevent this? Thanks

Can anyone address if their GPS accuracy has improved?

My Note 2 is rooted/bootloader unlocked with CASUAL. Running Beans stock 4.3 ROM. The phone worked GREAT for over a year but a few months ago, apps began to close randomly and the phone would reboot frequently. So I decided to wipe the phone and start over. I have done this twice and the...

Thanks for confirming. I updated it and all seems to be well.

My Note 2 is rooted/unlocked with CASUAL. I am running Beans stock 4.3 ROM. I am running SuperSU version 1.8 but the Play store shows an update to version 2.46 Is it safe to run this update? Is it advisable to update? Thanks for any input on this.

The ROM is either of the three you have listed. You will have to decide which one you want, deodexed, Odexed or debloated. The pros/cons of each have been discussed at length. - Deodex/No Knox Version: ND7_deknox_deodex.zip - Odex/Stock/Rooted/Knox Version: ND7_odex_rooted.zip -...

The main reason I now want to try it is because browsing the net on any browser over WIFI has gotten almost impossible with ND7. 4G is fine. I'm not sure if it is because of ND7 but I thought it might be worth a try.

Thanks for replying. You're probably right about the battery life. Maybe it was wishful thinking on my part. Now that I've had ND7 for a few weeks, battery life seems to be more like it used to be. Thanks. I already flashed the MJ9 firmware when I first went from 4.1.2 to 4.4.2. Are you...

Can anyone shed some light on this? Thanks

Success This works out of the box on my VZW Note 2 (I605), Rooted, Unlocked, Stock/Odexed 4.3. Nice!

I am running stock 4.3 from here. Before that I was trying out stock 4.4.2 from here. 4.3 seems to be running well but I still have the ND7 radio. I know this shouldn't necessarily be a problem, but I would like to try the MJ9 radio and see if my battery life improves. To downgrade the...

Take the phone to a priest and have him perform an exorcism immediately! Sorry. :p Agreed, that is REALLY weird. Especially since the GN2 doesn't even have the hardware for XLTE.

Tether Framework Would anyone be willing to share or post the Tether_MJ9-framework.zip file found in the leak thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48315091&nocache=1&z=9429511637300158 The links on that thread are pointing to the wrong files. Many thanks! _______________...

Stop. Just stop. Really.

I completely understand. That might be worth trying. I agree, it sounds like it probably isn't necessary to flash the .pit file unless maybe there is concern that the resident pit file has been corrupted. Thinking further about pulling the battery, which I am reluctant to do...If in fact...

Bingo! Give that man a cigar! :good: Are you psychic?:laugh: That is exactly what I am dealing with. I was hoping there was a direct way to reboot to Download Mode from Stock Recovery to avoid booting the OS and without having to pull the battery. Apparently there isn't a way. Thanks for...

You guys really are something. First of all, I have researched extensively. To suggest that I haven't is a gross error on your part, not to mention that your entire response is obscenely condescending and presumptuous. As a rule I only post here after I have made a significant effort to find...

If you don't know the answer to my question, please, don't bother to respond. I searched extensively before posting my question, as I always do. If you actually read ANY of the responses in the google search that you so kindly posted, you would see that NONE of them answer my question. This...

Anyone know if there is a way to reboot directly to Download Mode from inside Stock Recovery? The only option I see "reboot system". Anyone? Thanks
