Well if your asking for twrp on a device with a locked BL yes you are definitely a n00b lol.
Never going to happen dude, root you might get but it will have issues.
If you wanted twrp etc you should have bought the exynos version instead of the crappy locked down snapdragon.

In most cases, I would have agreed with your statement about exynos version, however, you may need to check or google a few facts about new exynos on S9/S9+ and their issues (check samsung's offical user forums too) and see. I always root my devices, and always went to exynos version, but this time I went to Snapdragon. Also keep in mind, new premium phones now costing way too much than used to be, so paying top $$$ for a phone, you don't want to deal with issues, dont you?
that's why I dumped my belowed Pixel 2 XL and switched to Samsung S9+, I could not able to stand all the issues Pixel having, even if I loved the pure Android and smoothness of the device...but that screen ugly, and blue tint (replaced 2, still got the same thing !!!)

I have an exynos S9 plus, no problems thus far, got 5hrs SOT on my first charge cycle and battery life was my main concern
Dont always believe the BS on the internet.
Besides even if all the negatives being spread about exynos with root ,kernels and roms likely it could all be fixed. With the snap in north america your stuck with stock pretty much and at best a hacked root limiting charging to 80% whenever that does actually happen
No thanks.

Oneplus stated already that they are going to use the Qualcomm 810 v2.1 so it has no overheating issues at all.
That said I might buy it if it will have at least a QHD screen and min. 5.5".

They announced it will be underclocked to 1.8Ghz, so thats admiting for sure that it has overheating issues.
Alright, alright I will keep an eye on it and see if it is worth buying it anyway or not.
Yeah. Worth or not. That's really important to decide buying a new phone.

Use it for three days and you'll never go back to smaller. I went from a Moto X 2013 to a OPO and thought size would be a issue. It wasn't.
What we know so far?
We know that the 2 will come with Snapdragon's 810 processor, a USB type C cable and a fingerprint sensor/scanner.
All these things make it look like the Phonearena render might be real.
I think the 5.5 screen will be fine on 1+2 as I have got used to the bigger screen after using the OPO for quite some time and phones like iPhone look real small to me.
I am really excited for the launch of OnePlus cardboard on July 3, I just hope the shipping cost are not to high.
Yes, I agree. I don't want to go back to a 5" screen, My Nexus 5 seems tiny to me now.
Regarding the chip overheating, OP claim to have fixed that, both on the software, and the hardware via "passive cooling"
That's fine with me, I think my need for speed is satisfied, is more than satisfied by the 801 in my current One.
So, unless the overheating is a really bad problem, I shall buy this thing, pretty much on it's looks and style.
If I don't see anything compelling, and I haven't so far. I shall stick with the One.
It's so cheap (well assuming it will be highly competitively priced with other flagships) its hard not to buy it especially since I'm looking for something new right now to play with.
That said I think the invite system is just about the most idiotic thing ever and I flat out refuse to jump through hoops to buy something when I have the money just sitting there to spend.
If it's made readily available I will most def seriously consider it.
Invite system, pass and will explore something different.

Can't wait for the details, wanted to buy the One Plus, but I guess I will have to wait.
Im excited about the oneplus 2 but the size of the device will most likely be the decider for me. there more bigger it is than 5 inces the less chances of me buying it.
I have been searching for a custom ROM For the Galaxy Note 3 that's of the latest build, Android 6.0 Marshmallow but been unsuccessful. Does anyone know of one that has all of the features working?
None that I have found.

I guess it's because our AT&T version is still locked. We can't even get a port of the 5.1 from the S6, Note 4 or Note 5 because the bootloader is locked and we can't change the kernel. That's what I understand.
The problem is that it's now an old phone that is also locked, no developer will work on this anymore. I'm on Aurora and it's really good and everything, but I'm guessing that it won't continue further...

I decided to stay with ATT but not too use their phones. I decided to use a phone with an easily unlockable bootloader and Android 6 like the Nexus 5X or 6P. I decided to go with the 128 gig 6P after over 2 years with the ATT Note 3. No regrets here (other than having 1 warranty replacement relating to the 3.5mm jack). Battery life is so much better that the Note 3 (might be partially due to Marshmallow) with its 3450mAh battery. Along with fast charging. Also several tools for those not wanting use fastboot or ADB commands. There are 20 something roms to choose from at the present.

My main issue and if it had the alternitive I would get it NOW. I wish it had a removable battery. I keep my phones for YEARS and use my phone A LOT. I go through 2 charges a day. I travel a lot so I use my gps, and my business runs through my phone, as does my other job, so I get phone calls like crazy, texts, emails, gps, games, etc. My phone goes through hell and I keep it for years at a time. If the Nexus 6p had a removable battery I would hop on it.

I wish there is other good phone w/ decent stylus aside from the Note series from Samsung. Just a bit of competition, that's all I ask for, but none. Right now I'm the Note 4 international, and I might stuck with it for another year depend on what the future hold. The problem with Samsung is that it take them forever to get ROM update. It has been 6 months and there is still no Marshmallow. OK, forget the Marshmallow, just the damn bugs fixed would keep me safer, but no. So, the choice is left between running unstable up-to-date custom ROMs or running older ROM but not have up-to-date patches. Seriously, I'm so ready to ditch Samsung any moment now.

They should do like the S7 and S7 Edge, buy 1 get 1 free... sell the fixed devices and honor there guarantee as if it were new,
I'm not too worried about the resale point if view but the one thing that does concern me is if Sammy see it as a failed device and lower or even drop support for it such as bug fixes and updates.

They must realize by now that the boat has sailed on the note 7-there is no recovering from something lile this. People are just not going to want these devices.
Im a die hard sammy fan for years now...have every note since the note 2 but im not even sure when i get my replacement device if i will even unseal it. Likely i will just dump it and go another route.
I also dont see development going big either for the same reasons.. developers dont want a device that doesnt have a strong following.

See I'm still on the fence it is such a great device and I can't see a decent alternative. I already own the s7 edge (promised to my wife) and as a lot of us was really looking forward to the note 7. See mine is on order not replacement so I can cancel any time but what else is there to match the note series. I been given a new del date of 29 Oct. Guess I can see how this rollercoaster goes for the next few weeks.

Same boat as you I will be due for another jump in no time and not sure if will stay on the note 7. Won't be surprise if it does not see a lick of update
Guys, i've been struggling with the same thoughts this week. I've come to the conclusion that there is simply no phone on the market that can match the Note 7 overall. This phone is the most beautiful, well designed and functional device on the market right now. Any other phone would feel like a downgrade for me. Of course, i could get the Oneplus 3 and wait another year or so for the Note 8 which i'm sure will be a beast, but i will miss the Note 7 and the Gear VR so much, it's really not worth it for me. This device meets every need i have.
Regarding the software, here's my conclusion. Samsung has huge credibility issues and big financial losses due to the recall.
However, buyers of the Samsung Note line of phones are the most pretentious, loyal and enthusiastic of all Samsung clients. Samsung cannot afford to let Note 7 buyers down. In the long run, abandoning the Note 7 is a bad decision. Instead, i believe Samsung will have a big Note 7 relaunch with lots of marketing, we will possibly see new software features, a fast and stable Nougat update, Daydream VR support, possibly a Note 7 Plus (6GB+128GB) launch in December, and anything possible that will keep people talking about Samsung and Note 7 in a positive light.
I choose to believe this, and if i will be let down i probably won't ever buy another flagship again.
What else am I going to buy though? There's still nothing else that has a stylus and is worth looking at.

People have trusted Honda after the Takata airbag debacle. They also came back to Audi after their unintended acceleration disaster. People still fly AA even though 251 people were killed in Chicago due to sloppy maintenance. GM just had their best year ever after going through bankruptcy and covering up an ignition switch defect that killed 124 people. VW will be fine after intentionally cheating on emissions tests. Samsung will be fine too. There's always some short term impact from these types of things but strong brands power through them.

See it totally depends on you what you actually want in your phone.
S8+ is premium class phone
-best camera
-Samsung's UX
-good looking
-amoled edge to edge display
-glass front and back
Soo yea its a premium phone. So don't sell it
Pocophone f1 is a budget phone with flagship specifications
It may not look premium and eye candy like galaxy s8+, but it is for power users who don't have so much budget.
I personally want to buy poco f1, because of that specification with aggressive pricing . And currently I am using redmi note 3, So yea for me its a huge upgrade.I will use custom rom on this thing as i am doing with redmi note 3.
See i not i favor of poco or Samsung,but its totally upto your requirement. What you actually want.
Well, I don't have money for now. I would suggest going for this phone. Because Samsung is selling crap these days. And moreover no custom and AOSP ROMs. so using Samsung just for the camera and few other things is useless.

No you shouldn't. S8 is a flagship device and it will beat poco in many departments. For just SD845 leaving S8 is not practical. SD835 and SD845 don't have that huge of a performance gap either, games will perform more or less same.
But yea, if you're broke for some reason and need some money but can still afford a 300$ device then I think it's a good idea.
I .b2.WJQwould do it for the bootloader. Samsung makes beautiful flagships but to me, what's the point if the bootloader is locked. As you probably guessed I live in the U.S (near Cleveland) and couldn't spend $900 to buy a International phone. So I'm stuck with a G965U and a 2 year plan with Sprint
buy a Pixel 2 XL
if you're into casual usage and use your phone as it is, use Samsung
if you're into modding and flashing, maybe this is a good one although we don't know how massive the development of this rom can be
I'm thinking of getting this and I've just sold my S9+. That is a premium phone but I found I don't care for the curved edges, I was over protective, in case it dropped etc. The camera is great, particularly video.
I've also noticed that resale values of the S9 have dropped considerably, you can pick them up for £500 for the plus model on some sites.
What appeals to me with this phone is the power. The camera seems good, and similar to the One Plus 6 on some reviews. Also, for taking a photo to post ok social media I really do wonder just how much of a difference people actually notice now.
I like the fact it doesn't have a glass back, so more durable and less likely to want to stick a case ok it. I know the screen is Gorilla Glass 3 so will stick a screen protector on.
This phone offers so much for the price it's unbelievable. I'm pretty much certain I'm going to get it and not have the associated anxiety of if I damage my phone its going to cost an arm and a leg to fix. Be keen to see some drop tests.

Just go for it I sold my note8 now i am in love with this device...camera is great battery is better than note 8 and phone unlocking speed is insane...the battery life sucks on note8..but this phone goes 1.5 days with some good usage.
The only thing i am missing from note is ip67 water and dust rating which xiaomi will launch in future devices
If your budget is not for a S9/S9+/note9 then why not. People are going "mad" to get this phone so for the 2-3 next months you can easily sell as a used one for a good price if you don't like it. Sure it is not a premium phone like S8, it is better in some specs but in other cases fall far behind S8.
Galaxy S8+ its not that old, you dont really need to change your phone unless its broken and you are looking for a new one, if you have a good and functional S8+ stay with it. Now if you are like me, that its still rocking a nexus 5 which the battery life now its less than 1 hour SoT then a poco phone could be a good replacement
Who's already thinking about upgrading their phone, according to the current informations we have about the future Note? And which phone do you want to replace it with?
I'll start: I'm a big fan of the Note series since the first one (I don't use the Spen that much, but I find the overall design and specs to be quite nice, I prefer it over the S series). I usually skip one iteration because I find on one year they add features, and the next year they fix some of the previous year's mistakes. I even had the Note7... not for long So now, even it it still rocks, I'm thinking about replacing my Note9 with a Note20, for the cameras, the display, and all that stuff. Yes I'm totally into the consumer's profile, paying the full bill for a "minor" upgrade, but I enjoy it
What about you guys?
I'm hyped!
Note 10+ here, but I got the upgrade plan or whatever through Samsung with every intention of getting this year's model.
My biggest excitement? 120Hz screen and the new colors. Improved camera as well. I'm hopeful the battery life will remain similar despite the increase in refresh rate.
I'm actually trying to find out reasons to NOT get the Note 20 Ultra and I'm not finding many so far which is a good thing.
that camera bump is MASSIVE.

Big bump, but the array looks way better than the S20 Ultra.
Oh Im getting it for sure, the new copper color.
Will be keeping my note 10 plus though and still even use my copper note 9 once in awhile lol.
On an S8 and have been putting off a new phone because every time I get hyped I read about what the NEXT one is going to have, most recently skipped the S20 because the 120hz doesn't work on the highest resolution, but I think the Note 20 Ultra will finally be what I drop money on. As long as I don't hear rumors of the S21 folding my laundry...

I really want to get this phone. But I gotta say I'm a little disappointed with the news being reported today that Samsung is sticking with the Exynos 990 (note the rumored Exynos 992) again for international models, while the US, Japan, China, etc get the Snapdragon 865+. There was already about a 20% difference in power between the Exynos 990 and the regular Snapdragon 865 with the S20 models, now that gap will likely be larger.
Don't get me wrong, I think I will still get the Note 20 Ultra as I'm a huge fan of the Note series and I don't think I can wait another year to upgrade from my Note 8. I just wish I wasn't going to get an inferior processor for the same high price as others are paying for the Snapdragon variant.
I'd be interested to hear what others here think about this.

If 990 continues, it will definitely be NOT my Note lol.

I love the copper and also the alleged green color (the rendering). Seems like a lot of options for colors in the rumors... It'll be interesting.

Likely to keep happening as people push for better cameras.
I use a case, so it won't bother me much at all.
I also hope there will be some sort of pre-purchase offer, for example a refund if you send your old device back maybe, like they did for the Note9.

I hope so too! Have been away from Samsung for a while, I think this will be my first entry back into the ecosystem.

I'm actually trying to find out reasons to NOT get the Note 20 Ultra and I'm not finding many so far which is a good thing.

the ONLY reason whoould be that Samsung will again charge us the same money for Exynos chipset eventhough South Korea, China, US and Canada will get Snapdragon 865+ which would be with 30% more powerful and more power efficient.
This means approx. 3hrs SoT more for the Snapdragon 865+ ..
And Samsung it makes it even more difficult if we will buy Snapdragon 865+ note 20 Ultra from US or somewhere else, because in EU they are not supporting warranty for the Snapdragon devices..and they neither do service where customer pays money because they don;t have the spare parts..which is awful..

I feel the same. But I'm also quite conflicted on this for another reason.
Snapdragon phones are locked down, usually they can’t be rooted, and users can’t flash custom recoveries/ROMs.
There are of course exceptions to this but the Exynos variants are definitely better for development purposes.
Now for the first 2 years that probably won't bother me as the stock software would be fine. But once Samsung no longer provides OS updates it's really nice to be able to run custom ROMs.
If only we could get an Exynos device with comparable performance to Snapdragon.

Exynos 992 on 6nm or 5nm with arm x78 architecture is the best soution as of now for Note 20 Utra
If Samsung does a really strong trade in offer (I have a Note 9) to get the price reasonable, and ideally a throw in offer like the new ear buds, I'm in. Multiple Note owner (had the Note 4, 7 and 9) and really looking forward to a camera with a real zoom and better battery life. Looks like a winner!
Note 20 Ultra Colors
Does anyone have a link or list of what the Note 20 Ultra colors will actually be? Thanks in advance.

I read somewhere the 3 colors for the Ultra will be that new copper color, then black and white.
One with Exynos 990 & the other one with SD865+, Samsung will STILL find them to be equally performing..
And a lot will believe it too.
I went from a Note 10+ to a Oppo Find X2 Pro instead of waiting for the Note 20 series, simply for the fact that every leak was pointing to European users being stuck with a Exynos 990 & I don't regret my decision at all, Samsung themselves are so blind they that continue to argue that the Exynos 990 is on the same level as the Snapdragon 865/+, it's ridiculous and from a consumer point of view, unacceptable, we're paying the same premium price but for a worse equipped device.
Many argue that it's only noticeable in benchmarks or on paper etc. But it isn't, it affects camera performance, camera quality, gaming performance, thermal performance, app fluidity, all the important parts of a smartphone experience, Snapdragon is far far ahead.
Sorry for the rant but it's just frustrating, hopefully one day Samsung will listen, in the meantime I'll enjoy my Snapdragon equipped Oppo :good:
