android pie issues - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

I got a note 9 originally sprint. Flashed tmobile u1 pie. Everything works fine except for two things. One of them is no edge screen notifications which isnt a big deal dont really need it. But the other is google maps. It keep loosing gps location when i put phone to sleep(app running in background). Yes location is on, wiped cache on app, downloaded newest version of maps even tried older version but still not working. Went to settings to make sure location permision is on and still not working. If anybody can fix this i would appreciate it. The last thing i can think of doing is factory reset. Wanna avoid that for now unless i dont find a workaround.

Make sure the first option is the same as attached. Mine wasn't, and GPS would lose connection if I turned the screen off.

Ended up doing a factory reset was a pain having to get my stuff just the way i wanted but now maps works fine. Thanks.

thers an unwritten rule in IT that should be applied to phones as well.if you ask me its just common sense too;
you dont update to major OS revisions. You should always start fresh.
Down the line, much less headaches and wasted time figuring out what happened when weird crap happens.

not sure if data is actually fully wiped. one thing for sure, doing it manually wiping cache and data in recovery is a sure bet.
anyways glad you got it working

If anyone else runs into this issue phone could be going into idle/sleep mode. Always turn off battery optimization setting if you do not want app put to sleep after a period of screen being turned off. Phone is set to "learn" or GUESS when apps are not needed to be kept awake alive. Settings look like this...
Certain settings give your phone the urge to guess what you need & want or don't need or want running at any given time based on your use, Long story not as smart as it sounds. It just makes or has a hunch based upon recording things like location, speed of100% predicta travel, sleeping, and any other stats it feels like monitoring. No human phone usage is predictable and same routine to the millisecond, People vary, this is where it becomes a hastle so I choose all the apps I don't need to run constantly or receive updates/notis from & I put them under always sleeping section. It was an interesting selling point but really needs work, or just bigger batteries & better power saving features that do not "guess" or make "assumptions" about our usage habits.

Weird crash issue....

Okay, since I've got the phone, it's been working without a problem.
Until yesterday...........
First off, I tried making a picture of a 'small' spider I saw in my living room:
I wanted to try night scene mode, but for some reason I couldn't change the scenes, the 3 dots to select a specific scene was grayed out for some reason.
First I thought that I might have disabled an ap or something that prevented me from using manual mode, so I enabled some things that I previously disabled . it didn't work.
So the next thing i did was clear the data from the camera ap and extensions. That didn't work either. (After each step I restarted my phone, just to make sure that the changes were applied)
I tried using background de-focus, just to see what it would do, after making a picture though the camera kept showing the saving animation and it never stopped, pictures I made after that weren't saved at all...
A few minutes later I could suddenly access manual mode and all the scenes again, taking (or saving) pictures was still laggy/not working tho.
I ignored the issue....
I also use the phone as my alarm, to wake up early from work....
But guess WHAT! This morning my alarm didn't went off and I overslept and my battery suddenly had 50% remaining, when I went to bed 6h earlier, it was on 93%. My clock ap crashed and that's the reason why my alarm didn't went off.
I rebooted the phone and tried accessing my alarms again, but I couldn't get to my alarms, since my clock ap kept crashing....
I had no time to look at the issue, since I barely had time to prepare for work, normally I drove to work with some music from my phone, but even Walkman refused to play anything........
I decided to do a factory reset, since I wouldn't lose a lot of stuff, but used ultra stamina mode to preserve some of the battery while I was at work, since my battery was still depleting really fast! When I switched back from Ultra Stamina to normal mode, the issue seemed to be fixed, so i did no factory reset in the end.
This issue is really weird, but the weirder thing is that THE SAME EXACT THING! Happened on my Xperia Z after a year or something (Only on a stock Rom though)
Is there anyone that even read my entire story (that i just typed) And is there anyone that had the same issue as me? Because it's really annoying me!!
Here are some screenshots:
Some help would be very appreciated!
(CPU Z Showed Processor 3 almost on a constant 2.2GHz)
3 or 4 days ago I had similar issue with my z3c, same with my sg2 year ago. with sg2 problem was with broken audio file (.mp3) on my card that makes device to constantly scan my sd card and not to sleep so that time I checked all my music with audiotester app, found some broken ones and repair them with MP3diags. Issue was solved and never happened again. hope that will help

Assuming you have the songs on a microSD, wouldn't it be easier to remove just that and give it a try?

What do you mean? It's not a daily problem, so I don't know how I could test that. After yesterday the problem didn't came back. On my Xperia Z I changed rom and the problem was gone.

So I rebooted the phone and suddenly it started acting up again. I did what you advised and it did seem to get rid of the problem. :good:
Now I need to wait for @damned91 to link the programs and see if it will help.
MP3 diags
Audiotester is standalone exe file program, just open it and drag&drop music folders there. won`t take much time
First of all use Audiotester because it works MUCH faster, then MP3 diags to repair.

E6533 Dual Lagging and restarting itself & wifi lag

In the past couple of days for no reason my phone when ringing to receive a call will freeze and restart itself, hence, missing the call, I can see the caller ID but no luck answering, upon restarted the call will not be on the call log. It doesn't matter if phone is idle or using an app, any app. I've lost a couple of important calls today. Happens on both lines.
Has anybody had this happened? I'm thinking of a factory restore, but will accept any suggestions before doing so.
Also, when leaving a wi-fi connection, ie: driving away from home, it takes about 3 or 4 minutes lagging, and then it will function normally, what I have to do now is shut wifi off prior to leaving the house or the office, untill I get to a new spot, but sometimes I forget to turn it back on and my plan is running, any ideas?
Both issues I don´t think are related.
I'm on Android 5.02, build 28.0.A.8.251, haven´t done any rooting, just like it came out of the box.
Thank you in advance.
maybe you can try repair your phone through PC Companion,
mine got OTA update right after i got it out of the box, if yours was the same, maybe that's the cause.

Do you have GPS turned on? What apps are you using? I think this might be an app related issue..... I also hate losing data and customizations I've done and opt always to stay away from reseting etc....
Check Apps that use GPS and recent apps you've installed

Thank you, tried this last one, only have used it half a day, no issues so far, thanks.
After 5 days I can say wow!!
Lagging gone, battery up to 15 hours without any change in habits, heat can't barely notice anymore.
Thanks for the tips..
You did factory reset or restore from pc? Also after that did you restore data with a program or pc companion or your started over?

Awful battery life on Galaxy S10 (Exynos)

Hi,
I received my Galaxy s10 a few days and the battery life has been pretty awful since day 1. As seen in the screenshot, I lost 31% battery with 35 minutes of screen on time with no background apps running in the background while idle. Is this just my phone or is this is a known issue because coming from my 2 year old LG G6 it is a significant downgrade in battery life. Any help would be appreciated

Hey Damir, did you try the suggestion?
Any improvement?
Battery on the exynos is sh*t, it is better tho after a couple of the updates. After the latest update battery time on wifi is amazing but still really bad on 4G.

Could you explain what is the theory behind doing this please? I'd like to try it but to justify the hassle of doing it I want to be able to convince myself it's not snake oil. Thanks.
I factory reset it today, I will update the post in a couple of days
Guys before saying that battery on the Exynos is horrible try to rule out the possibilities why this might be happening.
1) You restored from a backup either smart switch or google back up
2) Have you check which software version you have, there was a bug that did not allow the phone to enter into deep sleep. Please update to the latest firmware, there is a thread on XDA that shows you how to do so.
3) You got the phone recently, you need to let the phone learn your usage pattern, first few cycles will be horrible.
4) Do a clean factory reset and do not restore from a backup, install everything manually
5) Do you have the facebook app install, well change it for either Facebook Slim or Facebook web.
6) Use Adhell or adb commands to disable any app you do not need.
Battery usage after a day (LTE / WIFI on most of the time and watched some series on it). S10 Exynos on April security patch update

The steps to get into recovery are, turn off device and then hold the vol button up, bixby button and power buttons together and then let go when the splash screen starts, I have done this after every update to be sure but not sure if it is needed on every one.

If the s10 exynos can reach 8H sot I will buy one rather than s10+
My 6t is only 7h sot
Update:
This is the battery life I've been getting since the factory reset, no backups restored exclusively on WiFi, quite happy with it, though I haven't had a chance to test it on 4G yet which was my main issue.

I was afraid to see the awful 4.5h sot I used to have with my ex-s8 but 7.5-8h is enough for me.
Not as good as the supposedly 10h of the s10+ but enough.

How to re-lock bootloader

After successfully rooting my S10 i realised that i didn't quite needed it and it didn't advantage me to much so i re flashed it all back to the stock firmware and the phone is working fine however, i am struggling to re lock the bootloader.
I have an Australian Exynos version. When i reboot to download mode through ADB on my Windows PC and then try to lock it following the usual fastboot commands, i just get <waiting for devices>. I read some where that it's a driver issue so i updated all my drivers, well i think i did but still not having much luck.
I also tried on my Mac but i keep getting an interface error which from what i've read is a MacOS issue that has been broken for a while.
Can anyone help please? I want to re-lock it so that i can sell it.

Try to reflash everything stock.
If this doesn't work, congrats, you played yourself and discovered the inconveniences linked to wanting root on a European Samsung device.
Put it in the download mode. I believe 2nd option to turn off oem lock. Dont be silly. You always put back stock firmware and pretend like nothing happen to the phone.

Pretend all you want but if Knox is tripped, it would take an idiot to pay anything near what it's worth.

Agreed unfortunately. Just need to find that idiot haha
I was thinking of a way to block the bootloader, and I came up with something very basic, so please who can try the method, share whether it works or not.
How to re-lock bootloader
1. Turn off your device.
2. Press Bixby + Volume down and connect your device to a PC to start the download mode (now you can release both buttons)
3. Read the text below on the Download Mode screen
to block or unblock the Bootloader.
4.- Long press the vol (- or +) button as best suits you.
LOCK BOOTLOADER:
5. Long press the volume up button (+) until the computer is restarted (this will erase your data and restart automatically). :fingers-crossed:
Ready! Now you have a device with an OEM lock.:highfive:
Good luck my friends!!!
has anyone figured out how to get rid of the unlocked bootloader message? i am thinking of giving my phone to a girl who works for me, she will not care about samsung pay or anything else lost once knox is tripped. i ended up buying a p30, this phone is just too big for me, and with the limited development on the s10, and better camera on the p30 im willing to go unrooted for the first time in about 12 phones
A lot of the reading I've been doing, people are saying your phone needs to be on and active for 7 days for the grayed out OEM unlock to become active. I'm currently half way there so on the seventh day i will report back if this is in fact true.
However, now that Knox has been tripped my phone wont be sell able anyway. Even if i get the bootloader locked again and the message is gone, once Knox is tripped there are certain apps you wont be able to use... Samsung Pay, Google Pay and even Netflix i'm finding. Looks like i'm stuck with it.

However, now that Knox has been tripped my phone wont be sell able anyway. Even if i get the bootloader locked again and the message is gone, once Knox is tripped there are certain apps you wont be able to use... Samsung Pay, Google Pay and even Netflix i'm finding. Looks like i'm stuck with it.

Google Play and Netflix? Those shouldn't be getting triggered by Knox being tripped, they're not Samsung apps nor do they tap into any Samsung service... are you sure they're not working?

Unlocked bootloader? No safetynet. No Google pay.

Duh. Silly me. I read "Google pLay" instead of "pay". :silly:
Still, Netflix not working is weird. I wasn't aware they now looked for a SafetyNet check instead of just checking for actual root.

[ASK] Random Reboot problem

Hy guys, i want to ask. But first I want to let you know that this is not my phone, I use this phone only temporarily, but I am here and asking because there is something that makes me (sometimes) feel very very upset and frustrated.
This is my brother's phone, and he also asked me to help him in fixing the problem I was about to ask...
The problem is: Automatic freezes and reboots
That simple isn't it? But the impact is big, during that phase I can only use this phone for only a few minutes because my phone keeps freezes and auto reboots, basically during that phase, I can't do anything, all I can do is wait until it returns to normal or turn off my phone for a few minutes which is obviously quite long, more than 10 minutes going like that (freezes and auto reboots). Version number 52.1.A xxxxx (I forgot, there are clearly 3 numbers at the end), I tried to downgrade to version number 52.1.A.3.92 but it didn't change anything.

oh yeah, the trigger is a change in everything related to connectivity (WiFi, bluetooth, gps, sim card, etc), even when activating auto-rotate. Hard reset, flashing, downgrade, reset connectivity, nothing helps. Can anyone provide a solution? can downgrading the android version or using a custom rom help? is this just a software bug or a hardware problem?
thank you

I'm also having the same problem. Is there any solution?
I have same problem
My xz3 is so01l
I guess ta broken
Who can help fix?
hey i have had this problem for months now. Recently I flashed to a custom version (originally on SOV39) and i rooted my device and the problem still persisted. However, I found a temporary fix without messing with the hardware.
By disabling the sensors and then rebooting. It stopped randomly restarting and I can even use the device with airplane mode turned off while having all the internet functions working.
You can find it on Developer Settings - Quick Settings Developer Tiles - Sensors Off. From there you can just toggle it off on the Quickbar menu and reboot the device. Hopefully it works for you too!
I have same reboot problem, only restarts after a min in normal mode. Works fine in flight and safe mode
I took a notice it can be the cell radio as it is off in plane mode.
I find side sense and one hand mode. Is it the things to turn off? I have the same problem, works fine in flight or safe mode. Some wrote it could be the cell radio.
I have checked for the updated version of Android System Webview as another wrote in another thread it could be that by going to Apps and Storage - Play Store. But it is not on my phone so that can't be the problem for me. I have turned off 2 sensors, side and one hand mode but it restarts after a halv min in normal mode.

I tried the same solution (update system webview) and didn´t work for me, I´m currently performing a software repair to see if it helps, the thing is that my phone doesn´t reboot as often but still it´s upseting me.
I was able to partially solve my problem with my phone, I took out the black antenna frame and very carefully placed transparent scotch tape (because it´s thinner than medical tape) in all the contacts that are marked in red in the atached picture but now I´m thinking that I shouls have placed tape also on the places marked with green.
So what change I experienced on my phone with this method?
well the phone now has Network and wifi signal all the time and very ocassionaly it does lose the network and wifi signal for a second but when this happen the phone does not say that there is no sim card and does not freeze and restart, it just recovers signal by itself and I can continue using the phone.
