Update to Pie announced... - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions & Answers

It was just announced the Note 8 is getting Pie by EOY. That is from Samsung - so if Verizon gets it at EOY from Sammy, then how long will it be for Verizon to be able to release the update? Anyone have any ideas or thoughts?

Impossible. Which version? I have 8.0.0 which is Oreo and my last update was Dec 13 which was the Dec 1 security patch. I just re-checked and there's no update available. Samsung gas not even given the update (which is 9.0) to Verizon yet - do you have a hacked room on a rooted phone?

If you're on bootloader version N950USQS5CRK1 then you can download the firmware update for Android Pie to this bootloader version N950USQU5DRL5 and you can get it from this website https://firmware.science download the 1.6GB update then put it on the main part of your SD card and then boot Into recovery mode and select update from SD card and voila Android Pie!! You sure it's still impossible?! Haha..

Yeah use the N950USQU5DRL6 it's DRL6 which contains some fixes from DRL5.. Just use DRL6 instead of DRL5. It was just put up.

Was the process easy and any bugs

I'm on the latest DRL6 and have been for the past nearly 2 hours. So far so good. No lags, bugs, etc to mention.
Give it a try. It brings new life to your phone. I'm glad I updated mine.

@MrMike2182
I have several Note 8's. All of them are on Verizon. However I'm running the "Unlocked" firmware on all of them.
Baseband: N950U1UEU3BRA5
Build #: NMF26X.N950U1UEU3BRA5
Android Version: 7.1.1
Model #: SM-N950U1
Ok, so I was running the unlocked version of 8.0 but there was some features in 7.1.1 That I just liked so I flashed back to that.
> My question is you are currently running "Pie" so are you able to turn on the "HotSpot" without getting the subscription message from Verizon? On the unlocked version you are able to turn on the HotSpot feature without any issues.
> Also, what would be the easiest way to get on "Pie" from the version I'm currently on?

Can you turn on the HotSot and use it without the subscription message? In other words, can you just turn it on and use it like on the unlocked roms? Because on the stock VZW firmware, they lock it down so they can charge you extra for using it. Can someone test this for me who has installed PIE?

Mine came up and went away quickly and it actually is sitting in the notification box at the top if you pull it down you'll see it, it says setup hotspot but I've got unlimited data so maybe that's why it goes away quickly. I can't say I'm happy with this build because sometimes my phone doesn't ring right away when I get a message it waits and rings like 10 minutes later and it will not download over 1.3GB because it will drop the download at 1.3GB and say download paused but when you tap resume it just starts at the beginning again and the other thing that bothers me is the music this sounds like sh!t and barely gets loud enough and if I try to use the settings in PowerAmp that I bought on the play store that was working great and super loud is now junk and causes severe crackling noise and it's just nasty!!!!

I'm sure you understand but our phones are heading in the right direction. This is a very early beta build. Overall I'm pleased with the beta. It's been my daily driver for the past few days now. I've noticed faster wireless charging times and my battery doesn't drain as quickly either.

Yeah I've noticed all that too which is why I'm still running it and haven't switched back..However I am going to go to the DRL6 version because that came out right after I did the first update and i have to go back in order to do that.

hmm. im looking for a custom rom that is 4.4+ that is compatible with the samsung galaxy gear. This article is just a review on the phone that i already have. I found that they do plan on releasing the 4.4 for the samsung note 2, but like the most of us we really can't wait for the "official release". Currently I am in the midst of modding some of the system apks to get what I want but it is a long slow process as I am just beginning to learn the how-to's.

Try DN3 ROM
You can try DN3 v3.1 for n7105 it is android version 4.3 with all features of note 3 and gear manager. Also if you are seeking kitkat version you can download DN3 4.4 but I think this version may be not supporting gear

I got very excited when i read this. Since I've had the note 2 I've always wanted note 3 features. Atlast I did a nandroid back up, cleared my data and other stuff..Then did my flash of DN3 4.3, The conclusion? It worked, sort of...Even though my phone booted up with out any problems the Spen wont work and It commands me give it a sim card for data. Oh well I'm going to try kk but i doubt there will be a difference. Thank you though
NOTE:Bad idea, after trying to go back to my old rom i am now dealing with a boot loop. Drivers are not working because they believe my phone is th 7100, anyways ill update when i get it fixed.

So a rumor about a historically sketchy company when it comes to updates.. Yeah, I wouldn't hold my breath for a quick update. If one ever arrives it will likely be months if not half a year. By then, Lollipop 5.1 or 5.2 is probably out and it's already outdated again.
Yeah I have a Galaxy Note 10.1 gt n8013. The official firmware for that is still 4.1.2 there was a big announcement for kit Kat for the note it said "select carrier variants" well that was true. It wasn't a carrier variant and it didn't get selected.

Brother this is gonna how its probably gonna roll out
1) Lollipop AOSP based roms will be updated within the month
2) Nexus 5, 6, Tablets
3) Google Play Edition Devices (HTC One M7, M8, Galaxy S4)?
4) Samsung (Galaxy S5, Note 4, Note 3, Galaxy S4)?
5) LG (G3, G2)/HTC One M8
7) Sony
8) Other brands
I hope that LG will continue releasing updates for fluidity and speed of the system even without launching v5.1. :/
Maybe with G4
Could it be that LG is launching G3 5.1 update along with the presentation of the G4?
Why would they?

In the presumed leaked photos of the presumed G4, it uses 5.0.2, so LG will take time before using 5.1
Glad they will soon push 5.0.2 though!! Finally a RAM fix!!!

Help me to decide

Hi guys, I do not decide between 3 smartwatch, could you help me decide which one to buy?
Samsung galaxy watch comes with tyzen and rotating bezel
Huawey Watch 2 comes with android wear without rotating bezel
Huawey watch gt new model, I do not know if it's better than the Watch 2
Important points:
I think having a rotating bezel gives a positive point to the clock
So I have read tyzen is not well optimized strong point for android wear
Then i dont decide between samsung or huawey... By the way i love cool watch faces like fallout pip boy or super mario faces,..
Which of the two operating system / clock has the most support on wahtcfaces?
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME GUYS

since when ? :laugh:
Samsung watch works will all android phones. Yes there are some difficulties with 4G watches, but ither then that is ok.
Huawei GT uses own OS, so no apps can be added. Also no free storage.
Not all functions are working correctly.
Then what should i choose? I wanna play pokemon go too on the watch
Maybe at future i woulda go to s10 when samsung release them
If you're planning on getting a Samsung phone I'd go with a Samsung watch just for the sake of compatibility.

No, for any Samsung watch, to get the most out of it, you should have a Samsung phone - that's the best integration.

No, the Galaxy Watch will work with either iPhone or Samsung Android phones, it just has better integration with Samsung phones (some integration features are not available with the iPhone). You are thinking about the apple watch which works only with the iPhone.

Samsubg tyzen or huawey wear os? I think wear os rules cause of optimization btw galaxy watch is beatufill and his watch faces amazing fck my brain gonna explode
I have both watches and both have a lot of bags. Huawei does not follow the steps precisely, The LTE version often freezes, the bluetooth connection with the handset (Xiaomi) works bad. The Samsung HR monitor is bad, you can not walk and measure. Also, Samsung products are no longer quality. My Gear S3 was 3 times in the Service, Galaxy watch 42mm came with an incorrect motherboard. For the past 10 years I have only had Samsung mobile phones. From Samsung 6 edge all models were on service, some model 4 times.
Garmin and FitBit are better than Huawei and Samsung, FitBit dont have lot of watch faces, both models are not for gaming.
Chinese watches with Android OS could be a better for gaming.
My recommendation would be to get whatever suits the platform you're currently on. Like for me, I already have an s9 and a tab s3. So the galaxy watch seemed the best fit. I just bought mine a few days ago and I have to say I'm really enjoying it thus far. And if you're into watch faces there are a lot on the galaxy app store. My favorite so far is q watch which is a nearly perfect replica of James Bond's watch from Goldeneye on N64. It's so dope lol.
That said, there are some things which I feel could make it better. For starters, there is not nearly enough support for smartthings. Neither my tv nor my soundbar can be controlled through the smartthings app on my watch despite being registered with the app on my phone. Small gripe but still...Also, texting is super frustrating. And the fact that it only has 4gb built in memory is a bit of a let down. Battery life is pretty decent. I got the 42mm and I get about 1 - 2 days on a charge. 46mm has even better than that. Physical design is pretty well. The silicone straps are surprisingly comfortable, the watch is self just feels like a quality build. Not cheap feeling at all. OS is laid out fairly well. Only took me a couple hours to really learn the ins and outs. Works pretty seamlessly with the S9. But limited compatibility with anything else thus far (samsung devices such as tablet, tv, and soundbar). Overall I'd still give it a solid 8/10. I very much reccomend especially if you're planning to get a samsung phone at any point in the near future.
is Samsung HR monitor really as as bad as all says ?
Can Galaxy watch be used as fitness tracker or it would make more sense just go for stratos 2 ?
Then for should i go? My thing is connect me. To play store and on tyzen u cant (if im correct..) maybe on gslaxy watch theres a way to install play store? I dont love tyzen.. But on quality galaxy watch seems OP with watch faces TT

D-Load a version of the Stock ROM ( 9.5.17.0 if you can... ) transfer it from you computer and flash it..
reboot phone to twrp mode and make a backup of your data if u want data not to be lost.
flash your custom rom,and again go to twrp mode and restore your data excluding(system) and reboot the device.
try it,it worked for me without loss of data.

Don't suggest arb3 ROM. He might have installed arb4 ROM before flashing custom ROM
No Word..

Hey S.S...
Not 30 Minutes Ago I pulled the trigger on the Samsung Galaxy A70.
It's only about 6mm taller than the XRN5.. but, packs a 6.7 inch SuperAmoled Display that is simply Incredible.
Samsung's OneUI coupled with a Samsung app called Good Lock.. gives you almost endless tweaks without root access.
The Snapdragon 675 / Adreno 512 SoC along with Samsung Pay having NFC and MST capabilities and 6 GB of Ram / 128 GB of Storage sealed the deal..
Honorable Mention To:
The Redmi K20 Pro
The Asus Zen 6
The OnePlus 7
A little more expensive.. faster.. but not as feature rich as the Galaxy A70..
I'll Stay In Touch.. You've Done A Fantastic Job Helping So Many With The XRN5... Keep It Up Boss! :good:

Yeah. Xiaomi finally rolled out Android Pie update with native Dark Mode option.. I hope you will enjoy dark mode option in AMOLED display..
Huge difference between Redmi Note 5 and Samsung A70. Hope you will love all the new features

I just seen that Dark Mode has been implemented..
That's cool.. I've always used Xiaomi's Theme Store.. And I LOVE Dark Themes.. but it's nice for those that like to go from light to dark depending on the time of day.
And Yes.. I've so missed Amoled Displays.. I had a Note 4.. and would STILL be using it if I did not Cheap Out and buy a dang $1.00 car charger & cable..
It burned my Note 4 out! That's been almost 3 years ago... So, I can't wait to fire that puppy up for the 1st time and see 6.7 inches of pure black heaven.. :highfive:

Nothing personally and totally nothing against you, but I'm curious since I never asked that someone, why a new mobile phone after just 1 year? Since I'm used to have a single phone for 2 - 3 years.

Hi There X..
I think.. if you ask 10 different people.. you'd get 10 different answers..
In my case, Having the Note 5 Pro "Rooted-Stock" has been pretty much perfect. 100% Stable & Fast with Nova Prime and Animations at 0.5.. Viper sounds great.. Quickboot works like a charm.. And Greenify rounds out the reasons that I rooted the stock O.S.
So Why Move On From What Seems Like A Perfect Fit?
1st) Samsung SuperAmoled Displays.. ( My New Device Has A 6.7 inch Screen )
2nd) Samsung Pay (NFC / MST Technology Works ANYWHERE a Debit / Credit Card is accepted ) Google Pay.. Not.
3rd) Samsung OneUI ( In conjunction with an app called Good Lock ) provides Endless System Tweaks without root.
4th) Samsung 's AR Emoji's!!! ( Super Fun To Play With! )
5th) Samsung's Bezel- Less Design..( I'm cool with the Infinity U-Notch.. and you can hide it )
6th) I recently purchase a new Camry.. with Scoutlink Technology.. Toyota doesn't acknowledge Xiaomi devices at all... The Salesperson and I Brought a OnePlus 7 Pro out of a T-Mobile store to see if the Camry software would acknowledge the connection.. No Problem it linked to the OnePlus 7 Pro instantly.. as did a $100.00 Samsung J3 Prime device... Toyota Simply Does Not Acknowledge Xiaomi..
Well.. I think that pretty much sums up my thought process..
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro wins a lot of battle's..
But The Samsung A70 Knows How To Win The War.

Okay that makes Sense. I'm totally different
1. The 6 Inch Screen is totally okay for me and I prefer IPS LCD More. (Sounds maybe weird, but yeah xD)
2. Never used any of the paying technologies, never used NFC on any phone at all and I not really feel like I need it, I still prefer paying with real money that I can hold in my hand, oldschool, but that's how I am xD
3. I'm really in love with MIUI meanwhile and since the S4 I never used Samsung ever again. But yeah the settings I can manage on MIUI are more than enough for me. (I use my phone unrooted since I not like Magisk and I never unlocked it, all offical still and pure Stock since over 7 months, now on offical MIUI Pie
4. Not really Something I personally need ?
5. Even if you can hide it, I hate all types of Notches and avoid every phone that has it and it doesn't matter for me if it's bezel-less or not, so long the phone fits my needs.
7. Cannot say anything to that, since I don't own a car, I don't even have a Driver license with 29 xD Cause here in Berlin/Germany I not really need it since I get everywhere in Berlin just by bus and train really cheap per month.
So as you see, my Points are totally different and as you maybe see I will take good care of my Redmi Note 5 so long as possible. ? And you take good care of your new phone.
