got it here in Pa also.
Do you see any difference? My Venue seems faster and smoother, but that could just be my imagination.
Just saw that update here. It's a 305.9mb file. I hope there will be a root method for this update soon.
The color line on the speaker side seemed it has been fixed. Flipboard density seems to be fixed too.
App loads bit faster (I think).
Still not compatible with GTA SA. :S
Home under device setting kept crashing for me after update.
Been playing with my Venue for a few hours and the update has been more positive then negative.
Pros:
Apps look like they load faster
Games seem smoother - Especially my fav Dead Trigger 2
More memory allocated
Cons:
Seems to be crashing more
Wifi keeps dropping
Will add more as days go on
Excellent, this is a surprise... downloading....

Also, the lining in landscape mode seems to be fixed.

I got this on my Venue 7 too, though the description of the upgrade screen was blank. But 305.3MB
The issue with the crashes has been rectified. The apps were on 4.3 were not really compatible with 4.4. I re-installed most of apps and now there's no more crashes.
If anyone has noticed, Dell seems to have updated the kernel from 3.4 branch to 3.10 branch.

Just updated today to 4.4.2. So far everything seem so smooth and fast, especially the green/purple lines are gone. And fullscreen when playing game, yummie!! The only negative thing is no root for noobie. :crying:
Hi guys, i have a problem, i've updated to 4.4 and now sometimes the screen gets black, so i have to lock it and unlock it to get the screen working again, anyone knows how to fix this?

yeah me too, i regret update to 4.4.2. It has to many bugs .. app crashing, rebooting, black screen. I want to go back to very stable 4.2 but don't know how ? The only good thing with 4.4.2 update is it seems a little smoother and faster. Hopefully, they release an update soon to fix this.
I was having a few issues and contacted Dell support. This is what the support person had me do and so far, my Venue has been pretty stable:
We are sorry about the situation, to rectify this issue please follow the steps below.
Please back up your system to Google as you'll be doing a complete wipe of the Venue 8.
Press and hold the power button until the tablet completely powers off
With AC power connected to the tablet, Press Volume Down and the Power Button (Volume Down + Power) at the same time.
Select RECOVERY
When you see the Android Robot Icon, Press Volume Up and the Power Key (Volume up + Power) at the same time
Select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" then select "Yes - Delete all user data to factory reset"
After factory reset completes, select "reboot system now" to reboot system.
System should recover and boot into the current update version of Android OS
After this is done, please log into Google and download the apps/files that were backed up earlier.
Let me know if this helped.
I still am on 4.3. Is there a way to force the update to 4.4?

hey guys I'm new to posting here but have found some very good information here over the years. My question today is I just purchased a nook tablet 8 gb for my child. The guy I bought it from says that it has been flashed over to liquidsmooth rom version 4.4. I'm not very familiar with liquid smooth or the nook tablet. I also am somewhat paranoid about using hardware that was rooted and flashed by someone that I don't know. My main questions are can this be flashed back to the original b&n rom? Does the current up to date factory rom for a nook tablet have access to google play services? I am under the impression nook devices have all been given access to google services since nook store is being phased out. Does the factory rom include decent parental control provisions? Or as an alternative, is there a better rom to use that include a good set of parental controls and also runs pretty smooth without a whole lot of fluff? It going to be used by a 9 yo to play disney game apps, hay day, and the occasional other child centered apps that she may be interested in.

The Nook Tablet ROM (up to the latest version 1.4.3) does not support Google Playstore.

I think you should be able to get a good degree of parental control with CyanogenMod CM10.2 or CM11 multi-user capabilities.
I think I was getting the nook tablet and nook HD confused when I made the purchase lol. I done some more reading and found out it's the nook HD and HD+ that have access to play store with stock ROM. I have used some of the older versions of CM on the HTC droid incredible I had several years ago, but haven't touched any custom Roms since. Had anyone used the liquidsmooth ROM on the nook tablet? If so, how did well did you like it?

Did you flash the 10-touch touch-screen FW while running custom ROM?
If so, you'll need to back to custom ROM and use the Touch FW Flasher app to revert it 2-touch (since stock ROM only works with 2-touch FW).

The "Touch FW Flasher" app is included in CM10.1/CM10.2 as well as CM11. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51377882&postcount=163 for info/pointers on how-to flash CM10.x. If you rather not install CM internally on emmc, you can just burn onto SD a pre-made CM10.2 SD-card image from http://iamafanof.wordpress.com/2013...id-4-3-for-nook-tablet-imgsdc-boot-09aug2013/ and run CM10.x and its apps (including the Touch FW Flasher app) off SD.
Hi folks!
I have an issue with my Samsung S9+(G965F) display:
After locking the screen and reopening it, my display turns into a blurred, whiter color everywhere, menu, settings, no matter what I check.
These issues came for the first time after the Android 10 update from April 2020, now I got the latest update on the 30th of October 2020 which didn't fix this issue!
My software version is G965FXXUCFTJ2/G965FOXMCFTJ2/G965FXXUCFTJ1
Security patch level: October 1, 2020
One UI version is 2.5
Android 10.
After hours of Youtube, forums and other sources I got a temporary solution for this:
If the Always On Display is set to Show always, then after reopening the phone has its original color like it should be...weird! If I tap the screen after locking it then the AOD appears as well and the colors are fine.
The problem with this solution is that if I lock the screen and want to reopen it quickly in 1-2 seconds (before the AOD comes up on my screen) then the display color is once again blurred, whiter.
The problem appears only if the AOD is off or appears too late on the lock screen.
I have tried also many solutios but until now this is the best that I found.
Other tried solutions:
Google Play Books app, blue light off doesn't work!
Samsung factory Blue Light filter settings doesn't work!
Display settings don't fix this issue!
No other themes are installed, only the Samsung stock, blue theme is installed on my phone!
After I installed Nova Launcher I tried to find the Night Light app in it , but I couldn't.
Maybe in the old Nova launcher version there was one but now there is not.
Wipe cache partition delete, doesn't work!
Reset and Factory Reset doesn't work!
Check the attached screenshoots which were taken with an S8 because my S9+ takes just blurred, whiter screenshoots, strange!
First and third photo are after AOD appears on the lock screen, 2nd and 4th are without AOD on the screen lock, blurred and whiter!
Any other ideas maybe?
Thank you in advance for your replies (hopefully I will get some) and sorry for my poor english
Love , peace & understanding!
Best wishes: adrianonimus
Find app called "OLED Saver" and install it. It's available on google play store.
App will control your phone light but before you start using it turn on your screen light to maximum then adjust from app to what ever level you want. I had similar problem and this worked for me, using it for more then 2 weeks, not happened even once after.

Hi ivica122!
Thank you for your reply, I tried this app also, not so bad, wonder if the factory brightness has to be set always at max, how will this influence my battery....any observations about that?
In fact my problem will be if I want to sell this mobile to someone and have to say something about this whiter screen...
I was waiting for the latest software update with big hope that this bug will be fixed, but unfortunately they didn't....
At least with this app I can turn off the AOD
But anyway, this is a solution, but still waiting for a software fix or whatever...
Thank you for your answer, have a nice day.
Yes, it will be a problem if you want to sell it, i also hope some update will fix this but starting to doubt.
About battery life - with oled saver you can lower down phone brightness as much as you want, you can even use auto brightness from oled saver, it will keep your screen problem free and battery will be used like you lower down brightness from your phone. I didn't notice any difference. Look at the app like override of phone brightness functionality.
You know what, maybe you can try downgrading it to the latest android 9? If that fix a problem you can sell it like that, because when i was reading about this all people that has a problem said that problem started after upgrading to android 10.

I cannot downgrade my phone as is not rooted, so this option is not my solution...
I will use this app and wait for the next update, who knows
But anyway, thank you for your alternative.
Hy guys! I have your problem after last update my s9+ begin to have green screen. Anyone try to downgrade at android 9 ?

Hi! Just want to inform you guys that even with the latest minor updates from the last 3 months I still have this problem, I'm now on the latest version: G965FXXSEFUA1
Android 10
One UI 2.5
Security patch: 2021.February 01.
So no fixes here at all.
As I said before, my phone display colour is clear only if I open the phone with the AOD always on, so that I can see it.
If I will open my display before I see the AOD, (1-2 second) the colours are blurred, whiter, so no change here at all.
If I don't use at all the AOD then the display is always whiter, blurred!
My phone is not rooted, I don't want to root, and the OLED Saver app is only a kind of solution...of course the display is better with this app, but if I will sell my phone I will have to say something about this issue, so I'm afraid I will not get a good price....
I want to change my phone and I want to believe that this issue is not a common problem on other Samsung phones, even if I read about this problem affects Note 9and 10 also...
So, help me GOD!
I'm not in to this anymore but have you tried to find the way to downgrade it to android 9? Here on xda? I will try to find.

I really don't want to root my phone, but anyway. thank you.
I will try to make once again a factory reset, but I have so much things which I have to reset and reload etc.
Anyway, I will update this thread after, hopefully it will fix this.
BTW, I want to change or to buy a new Samsung S20 FE or Samsung S10+, which is better? I guess the S20 FE model worth better...
Don't know which is better but root is not required for downgrade, if this tutorial is true. I am downloading last android 9 update from samfrew.com and will give it a try:

OK, but for me is not so easy this, I use my home also for work and if I do this with Odin the security changes will stop for my enterprise stuff....so only the factory reset is my solution, anyway let me know about, thank you.
Factory reset will not delete that? I'm not so sure I think it will delete all installed software and remove all logs and cookies and stuff like that, but good luck, i'll downgrade mine as soon as i have time and will write here if the problem is solved.

Tomorrow I will make a factory reset, I will tell you what's up after, waiting for your downgrade result, thank you.
Btw, if your downgrade is successful you will upgrade also to the latest Android 10? Or you will stay on the 9?
I already did factory reset to my phone a couple of times and that didn't help, because the problem is in firmware and some people noticed that problem started with ui 2.0, which is part of android 10, so i will not upgrade again to android 10, i will stay on 9, i don't care about android 10, i really don't see much difference, i only want camera firmware upgraded and that happened with latest android 9 for this phone (night mode, for example), that's all i need so i will be very happy if 9 is working like i remember it, with no screen problems at all.
I don't know why i find this now and not earlier but it seems that samsung phones can't be downgraded, at least not from android 10 to 9. I bet people who new this are now laughing instead of telling us that it's impossible but i just tried and failed, you can't downgrade from newer binary to older. So oled saver app will have to be enough.
This is very disappointing from samsung, first they update my phone with faulty firmware and then don't allow me to go back to older one that was good.

Yes, I guess is only possible if you root your phone before the downgrade, I saw here something about, but I will not try with my phone as I'm not interested, I just wanted to know if somebody else has this problem and maybe there is a fix for it, unfortunately it looks only this OLED Saver app is an option.
Same problem. Been using oled saver for a while now. Works, but I'd rather a cure than a band-aid

So one more of us Did you noticed when this problem started? With android 10 or earlier?
I honestly think mine started after I dropped the phone. I could be wrong.
Here what i found
