root !!!

hello !
root or custom rom or ... damage battery life ?
i had a note 5 and i rooted that and it was terrible!!
even with flash to stock not fixed !!

Search their threads...no damage but there are some issues with Samsung's software limiting charging to 80%...I should say that there is always a risk with rooting...you may end up with a brick if you do not follow what is stated to do...root at your own risk...

my note 5 just have battery problem
its SOT just 2-3 Hours with black theme - greenify and ....
and its health was 80%

Battery seems better than s8+

After 2.5 years, I rooted my Note 4. It was great. Great battery life. Then I tried to update the root to 6.0 and I lost root and was never able to get it back. Now it's the same pile of wakelock battery draining suck that it's always been. I have three apps on it and I get constant wakelocks. I got the same wakelocks when I had no apps except what comes with stock. I lost 40% battery today with it just sitting there doing nothing. I sure do hope that the Note 8 doesn't have the same wakelock issues.
If I hadn't blown root on the Note 4, I'd probably have kept it until it died, just for the removable battery.

Interesting because every reviewer points out the smaller battery in it.

Yeah right

Ya know, I'm kinda glad rooting is risky again like it was back when I started. Get rid of the new breed of noobs. Everyone expects root at the tap of the screen now. I remember part of unlocking the bootloader/permanent root of the eVo 3d was bricking it. Actually being nervous about destroying an expensive device. It's been way to easy for too long.

The note has 6GB of Ram which runs Android and everything a lot easier and cooler... I think this is the reason the battery lasts longer than the s8+ even with a smaller battery. As technology grows things get smaller not bigger
I saw a few youtube reviews too but they looked clueless to ever using a note before lol

Yeah everyone knows that it's smaller. But that doesn't mean it's worse than the s8+. Most of the youtubers say **** without even testing it out

If you go international root should be seamless with TWRP and the rest of the associated goodies functioning fine, Snapdragons are another story. There is some hope that the lessons learned on the S8 will be quickly transferable to the Note 8, seems like a reasonable assumption but an assumption nevertheless. I long ago learned not to bet against the smart guys that make the magic happen around here but nothing will change the fact that the vast majority of all development will be aimed at the international phones. Flashers know who they are and will be buying international knowing all this without me or anyone else ever having said it. I understand the desire to stick with Snapdragon and the reasons why some do it but new guys should understand that the advantages of development will not be leveraged on the Snapdragons to anywhere near the extent it will be on the internationals. That's a known right now, look at development over on the recent Samsung forums since they've gone to a universal locked NA Snapdragon and see where the effort is going for yourselves, you don't have to take my word for it.

Samsung knows what they are doing. The AMOLED Panel on the Note 8 draws less power then the panel on the Gs8. Remember reading that in certain condition it used up to 22% less power. They had to sacrificed some battery space for the spen but made up for it with an improved Panel and software optimizations . Even though the v30 has a similar display I bet the Note 8 will still beat it in battery life.

Believe me, I tried. I spent an entire day trying to get root back on it, and just ended up stuck in dozens of boot loops. I could not get it back. Frustrating. Rooting it was easy, the first time around.

I have rooted Note 4 since I have bought. Also with 6.0.1 Android - the battery live is great. Read the post for Note 4 rooting & etc.

I think what you are reffering to Ashman is better efficiency.
Efficiency allows less electron leakage by the transistors by a more efficient design. Its amazing if you look at the actual die with each new revision silicon. They have more transistors, usually less leakage, and require less power due to the transistors being more efficient. One major way leakage/inefficiencies surface is by heat.
So, by a CPU design that is superior than the last, it "should" require less voltage to operate at = to or greater than the clock speed of it predecessor, have an increase in transistor count (usually 2-10%), perform = or > predecessor in operations per clock cycle at any given speed, and cost less to manufacture.
Of course there are many other factors that come into play when designing any hardware/software, but I believe these above are the big ones on the bucket list. If not, then they need be! :good:

Why isn't there that much ROM development for Snapdragon?? or Unlocked Note 9?

How's everyone going to Today or Night depending where your from?
I currently have an Unlocked Note 9 Model #SM-N960U1 which has a snapdragon processor.
I've been wondering isnt there any Rom development for the Snapdragon versions. I see that the Exynos Processor Version has a decent amount of development going on there. I have noticed with previous Samsung phones that its usually the other way around, that there's more going on for snapdragon than exynos. Does anyone have an idea why that is?
Thank you,
Andr3w151

Security is tighter with the US SD versions. Locked bootloader. Root is in the works.

Because it has a locked bootloader that will never be unlocked, and currently no root (although that is being worked on).

there never was a time in at least the past 5 years where snapdragon had more development/roms than exynos.

Lol that's not at all why they lock bootloaders, but yes it's definitely a great phone

I agree with @sullytrny . This is practically my perfect phone. I've never had any issues with this device. It's rock solid. I can't think of a reason that I would like to root my phone. It has every feature I would have added by rooting my phone 4 years ago. Good job Samsung. Now push the Pie update to your unlocked devices please.

But if you did need to restart your phone,it does that automatically as well. I have my settings restart every Monday morning at 3am just to "clear it out" for the work week. Truly is a great device. Waiting for my S10 though. That has to be a step up.

I can think of a reason. The ability to drop a full metal backup and restore is sorely missing in non-rooted phones.

Led color notification pixel 4xl

Dear Friends ,
Do this smartphone have the led notification like pixel 2xl ?

No, there is no notification LED

Looks like AOD for now...

That's already more than OP can say ?

That's something I'd really miss about my Pixel 2 XL.

That really sucks since AOD uses a lot more battery. If basically causes the phone to burn an additional 1% per hour when in stand by.

WHich they have managed on the Pixel 4 with motion sense. If it detects you move away from phone it turns of AOD to save battery

Exactly. Pretty sure Google thought of everything on this device. The software may need some tuning, but that's it. The framework is solid

That may be true. Although we still don't know how much power the motion sense sensor uses. The motion sense senor is basically radar. It's sending out radio waves and detecting what comes back. That takes power too. It's possible that the motion sense sensor always running will use just as much battery than AOD does. It could even use MORE battery than AOD.

Hi guys ,
It's only a my opinion ,
but pay for pixel 3xl and 4xl 900 / 1000 euro and missing led notification , It's a big problem , I love that small light.

LOL! I agree with most of what I've seen you post, but this? C'mon. Google consistently misses things when their phones are first released. Google routinely does not think of everything, at least not at first launch anyway. Often times they only seem to be aware of issues after hundred of users report on it.

I loled when i read that to. I was just telling my friend who works at Verizon and is trying to get me to upgrade that ill wait till people get it in hand as pixels are known to have phone breaking bugs at launch lol

I go through a lot of phones and all had problems, some of them never got fixed. I'm doubtful this phone will be any different than every phone before it in that regard. AOD uses power, no lie, I like it so I leave it on. Turning it off is no answer, I get that. What I don't get is turning off all the cool features a phone has to save batt when charging is everywhere, it's quick, and portable supplies are cheap, work well, and will get you through a pinch. This phone will likely have 4 or more hours without skimping on anything. To me the win is playing with the toys I bought, not gimping them to save battery life which can be easily and well covered.
This isn't a call out BTW, I just don't understand the thought process.

having an LED notification light is better than not having one. There's plenty of room. The Pixel 4 has a lower screen to body ratio than the S8. And while the S8 has an annoying curved screen, it has an LED notification light. It can coexist with an AOD. You can turn one off and use the other. Just like the headphone jack argument IMO. And the LED notification light is just so useful. It's a shame that app that lets you customise it got neutered by Google's updates to Android.
Oh and it sucks that there isn't an SD card either. It makes sense to companies as they can push paid cloud storage but not to customers.

Doesn't make sense to add as card support, as this still is a hack - as has been on Linux based systems for years - and thus a security risk. It actually doesn't make any sense to add a hack to my system. Just my 2 cents.

I don't think there motion sensor uses much power at all. I fully charged me phone before I went to bed last night and left it off the charger overnight. It only used 4% battery over 9 hours.

Well that's good news. That stand by time is better than I thought it would be with the radar sensor but still not what I got from my Pixel 2 XL when it was new. I dropped about 2-3% over 8 hours. Even now after 2 years I still only see about 4% over 8 hours.

I am looking at rooting my Note 9 I've almost had for 2 years is it worth it?

I don't use any of the Samsung Apps but I do have the Frontier watch and was wondering if this will be affected? Also are my banking apps affected? I'm looking to get more out my battery life, explore more customization options and for games that I play! Has anyone else done it?

Well that question can only be answered by you
If you don't use Samsung apps then that's one worry out the way.
About banking apps I found this which has some info in that regard at the end of the reply: https://www.quora.com/Is-using-bank...fe-Is-there-any-chance-our-data-to-get-stolen
Mainly this piece:
"Also, the banking apps these days have become smarter — they realize when they are run on rooted phones and would stop working totally (if they run at all in the first place)."
The way I understand it is that even if a certain banking app runs fine there's no guarantee that they won't update it to fix it and to make it unusable on rooted devices.
My advice would be against rooting this phone unless you're just bored and want to mess with it for no reason and are prepared to lose OTA/security updates and trip KNOX forever.
I mean I can't find a single thing missing from this beast in order to even consider rooting it. Plus it will get the latest OneUI 2.1 in June so

I'm having the same question as well. Battery life on this phone has never been great, probably because of the rubbish exynos chip.

Thanks, "not possible" is also an answer.
Can you or anyone explain why not possible if it's possible in s20, same android versions.

Only Samsung can explained why there are differences in UI. I have a S10e and it's there but on my wife's A71 it's not. There are more things that are different, don't know what the reason for that is.

Because Samsung likes to disable features on "non-flagship" phones. Been doing it for years.

Already started this feature but strange.
