Rear cam selfie? - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hi,
On my S7 I had 'rear-cam selfie' camera mode but it's missing on this phone. Is there a way to load it back in? I know you can sideload the apk on the S8 but I tried on this and it installs but doesn't appear (I assume due to the changes in the camera software).

Dude, s8 oreo also had it, also it worked super great, but s8 pie doesn't have it!
Any success with s9?

[Q] Few questions

Well I have some questions about some options, features etc
Because I'm kinda new to android
Hope you S3 experts can help me out with this:
1. I have the copy/paste bug. Can't use that anymore. I've read that I had 2 options. I want to go for the option to reset my phone, because I don't want to root it or it will void my warranty. But before I want to reset I'd like to know if everything is back-upped, like my messages, all my apps, my save games from my games I've been playing etc?
2. Since I've update to JB, when typing a message there a 2 buttons the "send" button and the "media" button. Is it possible to hide the media button because it makes my text field bigger and I don't like that. I don't use that quite often, so I only want to use the media send when selecting it through my options menu. Is this possible?
3. When or why should I use the option 'lock message'?
4. Is it possible to secure 1 thread of a person with a pincode? Without rooting..
5. I have 2 routers in my house 1 upstairs and 1 downstairs. But when I'm up and going down it keeps connected with router upstairs, but the signal is very weak. Shouldn't it automatically connect to the one with the better signal quality?
6. Is it possible to connect my S3 to a laptop through bluetooth and use it as a mouse and/or keyboard without installing any software on my pc?
7. On ICS I could squeeze out 2 days worth of battery. Now on JB It is very hard to keep it alive for a half day. Did something major change? I've been taking screenshots since ICS every once in a while of my battery usage. Just look at the file names its the date Some of the latest are JB ofcourse. Images can be found here (https://www.dropbox.com/home/Public/battery)
8. Still had 1 more question but forgot it... Will post it if I remember.
Hope you guys can help me a bit!
Thanks
Can not 1 of you experts really help me? Not a single question?
Well I remebered my last question:
I' ve been reading alot and it seems that it is better to not use a task killer. But what about the build in task killer of touchwiz? You know when you keep pressing the home button. Do I need to close my apps there or not? Or shouldn't I mess with that either?
for the question number 3
lock message means that the selected message is locked
so even if you chose to delete all messages, the locked message will remain undeleted

Nothing much you can do without root. That's why I never leave my phone unrooted for more than 10 minutes

1. No answer yet
2. No answer yet
3. Clear Enough. Solved Thanks Freddy!
4. I tried GO sms but didn't like it that is why I'm asking I'd like one with a plugin or something like that. Without rooting or installing a replacement sms app or something like that. But I guess there will be no solution for that huh?
5. Yeah it doesn't do that. But I'd like it to do it though. Is there a solution for that? I had an iPhone 2G and that one did it automatically and I kinda miss that option
6. No answer yet
7. Nothing we can do about this?
8. The Task killer question: You sure about this? Because I've been reading alot and that made me scared actually :s Hope we can get a third opinion about this matter.

I also have been reading a bit about this matter. I still don't know why people are rooting :s
To changes themes etc? I've installed some launchers and themes were changed instantly. So don't really know what the big advantage rooting has.
And won't my warranty void?
Thanks for the help and the answer guys! Great job

Root is to gain a higher degree of access to the operating system no more and no less.
You only root if you need it not for any other reason . It does not make your phone faster your battery longer or anything else .
99% of custom roms and modifications on XDA require root as do a number of apps.
No root and no XDA development .

Answer 1
use App backup & restore for your app. I saves the apps but not the game progress
use SMS backup & restore to backup and restore your sms
Answer 5
your router are not 'intelligent' enough to release your phone since it detects that your phone still getting the signal from your router. Not sure what router you are using..but normally home routers don't have that functions to do roaming. you will need something like ruckus or those with controllers to control the signal and of coz that will cost a bomb

I have just resolved this issue.
If you have installed recently an app, it might be that same app causing the bug.
What you should do is simply uninstall it.
In my case it is "Light Manager : Led Settings".
Smart Manager is working fine now.
Let me know if this worked for you too.

This is for installing the stock S9 app on the Note 8 since it hasn't been updated yet. A lot of people prefer the new UI that isn't so orange .

So your saying it's a "stock" S9 app with a "modded" icon to make it "not so" orange? Your video (((only))) references "note 8 running 8.0 Oreo" no mention of Nougat. I'm simply letting you know that this "S9 & S9+ messaging app" (quoting you from video) works on BOTH Nougat and Oreo... You're welcome.

It's not a modded icon this is the APK from the S9 and yes it will work on 7.1.1. It's just the default app that comes on the S9 plus it has not yet been added to the Note 8 and a lot of people prefer the UI as well as the new features such as GIF support, stickers and live messaging.

"New features.. live messaging"? You've probably got mixed up, I've already had live messaging on my note 8 (((without))) installing this apk file? It's a feature on the Note 8 upon launch. Also, you never mentioned that it would work on Nougat, only saying "Oreo" over and over. I was just giving feedback saying that it "it does work on Nougat", not to be misconstrued.

This is old news actually. There is already a thread from the day this version was released just fyi....video might have been a bit unnecessary lol. Also there is a sticker apk that goes along with the message app to provide the stickers....there is a signed version of that which installs with the same ease as the message app.

Another user discovered a fix for duplicate message problem many people were having (maybe not on oreo) and the fix is to "Freeze", "debloat" the app "Message Service" (then reboot)

Oh ok, didn't see any mention of any solutions for people having issues....just a long video showing how to click the file and press install....maybe i missed something.

So is there an advantage to using this over the regular built-in messaging app that's in Oreo on the Note 8?
Someone already posted the duplicate message fix. Just freeze the message service app with bk package disabler or it's like. Have to use the pro version. They apparently built that service into the new messages app.

Gif search is built into the app, regardless of keyboard. Pressing back while in a thread doesn't close the app instead returns to the conversations screen
Also when sharing to the app it now let's you pick from already existing conversations as opposed to it searching your contacts
I installed the app and now 1 of my threads keeps showing like I have unread messages even though there are no new messages... anyone else get this?

only drawback is loss of background wallpapers
I have check this app and have some pro and cons over stock one, like
- No conversation background
- No messaging block with phrase
- No Save/Restore option (Though it can be done with some tricks)
- No option to send message to Groups (needs to select individually from contacts)
- Better UI (Though it's subjective)
- Mute option right from conversation
- Sticker support even you use third party keyboard
So verdict is - better use themed icon with stock messaging lol!

And when you reverted back did all of your texts stay on the phone or did you lose them? Did you just Uninstall updates?

Customize App Twin List

Hey,
on older Huawei devices you were able to add any app you want to the App Twin feature using this method: https://www.xda-developers.com/how-to-clone-any-application-with-emuis-app-twin-feature-no-root/
It doesn't seem to work anymore for the M20P. Does anybody know if something changed? Did I miss something?
Thanks
Hello,
Just now I was searching about this method, but I didn't try till now. I will try it and will update if still working or not.
---------- Post added at 07:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:16 AM ----------
Also here, not working.
I cannot use the command "setting put"
Any help?
not working for me either
I also tried this to clone YouTube and although the command succeeds and show its its fine, I ran to see list after and it showed as being "twined" it never actual;y does it on the phone
I wonder if any EMUI 9 updates killed this ability

ADB on LG V60 (SOLVED)

Trying to run the adb commands for system ui tuner and I get this message when trying to allow usb debugging on my pc. Because an app is obscuring a permission request, settings can't verify your response. Anyone have an idea of what app it's referring to?
You need to disable the write over other apps permissions that you set because one of those apps is what's causing it. I don't know which one, I just know that that was the consensus and it fixed it for me.

The developer is claiming that it gives you root level access in an ADB shell without having root. Maybe somebody here can use it to solve our bootloader issue....

I hear all the time magnets have no effect on modern phones. If you ever use a magnetic accessory you stop saying that.

It uses a magnetic charger when in the dual screen case, took it out and plugged into usb and it worked. Back in the dual screen case with magnetic charger I can run the commands just needed it out of case to get permissions from my PC i guess.

It's simply because of an app displaying over other apps on your phone.
Simply take away all the permissions of the apps displaying in the overlay and you're good to go.
Probs the dual screen overlay app.
