yep - thanks for the help!

OK, hopefully the screen shots will come through. I'm on CSD1 because someone told me that the updates are cumulative (I'm wondering if that was wrong or not). I never actually did flash CSAA.

No, when I was on 8.1.0, for whatever reason, the OTA would never work... I saw months of security updates & finally the big Pie update (CSAA if I recall correctly) come out, but my phone would never OTA them... so finally I got ticked wanted to flash it directly. Flashed the Pie update, but...

THANKS! That's what I thought - just wanted someone else to confirm before I drive myself nuts. I'm going to give back-flashing (if that's even a word) in a couple of days - I'm on-call tonight & tomorrow night so will need the phone available to ring at all times - and then hopefully the OTA...

I'm in the USA. Please remind me: if I want to flash the ROM but don't want to wipe all my settings, which file am I omitting from ODIN flashing?

Quick question - are you guys trying to flash "official"/stock ROMs, or root-able ROMs? My AT&T Note 9 for some reason would never do OTA's, so I had to find the stock (but it was for VZW, so I was informed to not flash the CSC), but of course flashing the others did a full wipe/reset...

I'm downloading this file now (thanks for the link) - am I correct in assuming that this particular file is specific for AT&T-carrier-branded Note9's? I've been pulling my hair out (what little I have left), since I got this phone, it's NEVER received an OTA update - EVER. After much trial...

And, as if by magic, the Android fairies sprinkled "brains" dust on AT&T, and we have a rollout. My Oreo just installed earlier today. As Jeremiah said, I don't see too much of a cosmetic difference (a few things so far), but I'm just hoping Oreo gives better battery life (HA!)...

In my experience, AT&T has been traditionally the LAST to release updates, never the first. Their goal, it seems, is to get you to dump your phone within a year, so you have the "latest & greatest", when all they really want is more new phone sales. Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA Premium HD app

Might be a late Christmas present... but I'm not holding my breath. Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA Premium HD app

I have the stock FW, current OTA updates, and most (not all) bloatware deliberately disabled. I'm averaging 12-16 hr from 100% to 15%, depending on SOT, with very little to no lag. Damn, I don't know what I'm doing wrong! :) Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA Premium HD app

I haven't noticed a bit of throttling when I'm streaming Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, or Hulu using AT&T data... I don't do it a lot (especially since I can download videos on Netflix or Amazon) but I stream enough to be able to clock speeds. I agree it's not likely that it's...

I'd love to see it. I use edge lighting, but purposely refused to d/l the Samsung player because I use Spotify way too much. But I can see where constant edge light during music play can be both annoying and a possible battery drain. Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA Premium HD app

I got my AT&T-carrier phone from Best Buy (as I usually do) and saw everything the tech did from start to finish, no extra apps loaded. Even when I used to buy directly through an AT&T company store, no one ever tried that. I'd be suspicious, too, especially if they didn't tell you what they...

Interesting... I only got a "battery temp" warning once, when I got in my car on a 92*F day with very high humidity and tried to plug in to charge. Recently, had been shooting video for over two hours straight (during a Twenty One Pilots concert) and never had the battery heat up... I have a US...

Having successfully rooted two HTC devices and a Samsung devices in the past and loved every minute of it, I was kinda excited when Kingroot props said it was possible to root the later Notes... but I never did my old Note 4, partially but not primarily because of the Knox issue. I've heard...

US Qualcomm, I have absolutely no problem with BT on any paired device - except for my "new" Elantra's BT which speeds up the sound for about 30 seconds when first paired after turning the car on. But that is the car's BT doing that, not the phone. Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA Premium HD app

Still no Bixby Voice as far as I can tell... I use stock messages app and didn't see anything exciting there either. Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA Premium HD app

Interesting... I haven't noticed an appreciable lag (yet) but would be interested to know what alternative(s) you would consider to the stock Device Maintenance app. Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA Premium HD app

Hyundai Elantra Limited 2013. No problems at all. Every other BT device I have - no problems. Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA Premium HD app

I got nothin'. Is this happening only to non-US-shipped devices? Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA Premium HD app

I thought I read somewhere that Bixby Voice was catching S8/S8+ 's in S Korea on fire, so Samsung was thinking of rebranding it as a tool against Fattie Kim... S Koreans can speak a specific phrase into Voice then lob the phone over the DMZ. Who knows? May be useful as a more accurate missle...

I have used Square Trade for many years for all my family phones, laptops/PC's, even a Keurig machine. Have had to claim a couple of times and they are very reasonable & super fast. One family member's iPhone screen cracked, initiated a claim, took it to local Genius Bar (isn't that name just a...

Nix my previous question about booting into recovery - just Google'd it and for any who don't know yet, it's Volume Up/Bixby/Power button, and release Power button when phone turns on and keep holding down Volume Up/Bixby until the recovery mode launches.

BTW, what's the reboot key combo for S8+ to get to clear the cache? With my Note 4, it was power, main button, & vol up at the same time with power off. Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA Premium HD app

Actually I use my right foot... LOL. Seriously though, right-hand dominant, I hold the phone (and pick it up) very often with right hand, and love how the fingerprint sensor is spaced, my index finger just naturally gravitates in the sensor area. But I do agree that even lefties should have...

Second day with this new phone, ran AT&T update etc., and from first minute, no red tint on mine. I do note that on the Display settings, there's a "blue filter" option which will tint the screen reddish if it's turned on... Sent from my SM-G955U using XDA Premium HD app

Getting mine tomorrow... I'll test it out and let everyone know if I get a red tint and if I can adjust...

I dunno... I'm still of the mind that N4 will NEVER be root-possible because of the device's utilization with government contracts. I have given up on rooting this thing, and with N7 having been recalled, I'm awaiting N8, and hoping it doesn't start blowing up! Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A...

If Samsung sells it en masse on contract to the US government, it'll never be rooted. Hopefilly after the Note 7 fiasco (especially with Samsung trying to rush it out ahead of iPhone 7 without fully testing), the government will avoid Note 8, hence increased likelihood of root. By kid & my...

I was all set to do the Note 7 (currently have the Note 4) when my trade-in period kicked in. Haven't done it soon enough, and now can't do it because my carrier won't sell them anymore due to the recall. I was disappointed, and still am, hearing everyone say how great a phone it is. I...

All I can speak to is what I did. I did have a full charge on battery before I shut down, pulled the battery and let it sit for 10 minutes or so sans battery, then put the battery back in and fired it up (sorry to Note 7 users, no disrespect there by using the word "fired" LOL). Clearly MM...

Amazingly, my battery hasn't been too bad and I'm going on 7 days on official MM... let it settle in... after about the first 3 days, I shut down, let it stay shut down for about 10 minutes or so with my battery pulled out, the restarted... hasn't been too bad since. Sent from my...

Fair enough... thanks for the clarification. So, hopefully AT&T will not do the same w/Note 7... but of course I read on another thread that 7.0 will incorporate DM-Verity to the degree that a device won't even boot if the bootloader has been "compromised", so if we can get root on MM, then...

I've pretty much given up on getting MM or root for my Note 4... eagerly awaiting next February, when I can roll over into the Note 7... and praying Samsung DOESN'T screw the Note 7 up for root by giving them out to US government contracts, cuz that's why Note 4 will never have root... Sent...

... and as far as AT&T is concerned, for Note 4, "MM will arrive" ... August 1, 2097.... (and we'll all be dead by then.)

Holy crap... I'm still on latest official Lollipop build, with nearly every bloat disabled, and only getting approx 9-10 HOURS... and I bought a supposedly new battery a couple of months ago! How are you getting 4 DAYS? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Premium HD app

Agreed... since Note 4 is the only Note (to my knowledge) that is being used by the Federal government under contract, they have locked it down tight and permanent root will *never* be possible. I am personally waiting for the new Note (6 or 7 or whatever they want to call it) to come out, and...

... it's all Obama's fault... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Premium HD app

...any reports on battery life with this sideloaded MM? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Premium HD app

Yep... I love how the dope-smokin' author even says that Samsung is skipping Note 6 and going straight to Note 7, a rumor that has been around for a little while... all I want in a next Galaxy Note is a replaceable battery and SD card slot... and NO government contrat for the device, so the...

... agree with others noting that if you ADB-sideload, you will likely break the ability to get any future OTA's from AT&T, so I'll wait, too... Note 6 is coming soon, anyway, yes? Next February, I'm on it... still love the stylus capabilites of the Samsung Note series... Sent from my...

I'll take that as a joke or a typo, since June only has 30 days... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Premium HD app

+1 for not blaming Samsung. It's clearly AT&T who's to blame. For years I have bought my phones for my AT&T network from Best Buy, since I hated having to rock the AT&T logo. I will still buy Samsung, since I am a dyed-in-the-wool Apple hater who thinks Steve Jobs is burning in hell, and I...

I talked to another rep and she said the MM update already went out on 3/4/16, and that the MM update slides just the Note 4's into an alternate dimension, which is probably why we haven't seen it update yet. LOL Seriously though I would be interested to see what the MM update actually does...

Yeah, I'm not holding my breath for 6/Marshmallow. On the plus side, battery life seems a bit better... and apps/buttons are definitely quicker to respond/load... of course, that could be also because cache wss wiped, but since this is just day 1 with 5.1.1, I definitely want to give it more...

Yep - third time was a charm for me, too... for some reason, had to get my main memory "card" to at least 12-13 GB free space, cleared cache, and update went through. 5.1.1 onboard finally... now onto Marshmallow... whenever AT&T feels like getting around to it... Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A...

I have no plan or desire to "upgrade" to Note 5... no SD card, no user-replacable battery is NO "upgrade" as far as I am concerned. Samsung is losing touch with users, all for $ to snuggle up in bed with carriers. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N910A using XDA Premium HD app

Just picked up COC6 today... another small update. Wondering (hoping) that it improves battery life - been draining recently but then afain using my Gear 2 connected via BT about half the work day - and my office being in a zone without a really strong LTE signal doesn't help battery life, I'm...

Is the 7/27 release on the download portal, or am I just not seeing it? %) 7/22 version seems to work OK so far on my Note 4...
