GUYS, HELP ME!!!!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!

My phone S9+ i bought from someone via carousell. New Sealed SME warranty, telco set.

It was fine for the past many months UNTIL NOW!

The "phone function is unusable. Notification displayed "Phone not allowed"

Tried Hard reset/factory restore also no point.

Is there any workaround to this kind of problem. My SIMcard is fine when tested at Digi.

Do i need to root to make it usable? or go to nearest SC samsung now?
*
sorry to hear that but usually if it is telco blocked, then you need to contact the owner and have him pay the penalty/bills.

Seems like the seller did not pay his bills and imei blocked.

Maybe try your luck , go Samsung SC and complain, but dont mention that u know it's a telco set. And see what they say.
*
so far what i read about telco blocked phone, the only way is to go back to telco and pay the penalty..

128gb with 100gb cloud storage...enough la for another few years..then upgrade and NEVER BUY a telco unit from anyone..

What do you mean by no dual camera mode?
*
Before this, since note 4 up until s7, there's a function call dual camera mode where you can use both the front and back camera simultaneously.
I only discovered this missing function today.
What a major letdown from samsung.

What i noticed since the update :

The sound is softer.
The screen is a bit dimmer, not super bright like before when watching video, despite having video enhancer turn on
Battery life imroved

Camera side:
There's a change in how super slow mo works.
Now there's an option to change between 0.2(high quality) vs 0.4(normal quality) video.

Below are some which i noticed
Instructions:
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «


0.4 second video


0.2 second video


Also i noticed a slight darker color when using 0.2 comparing to 0.4 in super slow mo

0.4
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

0.2
» Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... «

There are so many functions in this phone that I have yet to explore. The only thing I use is the dual app function.

One function I just realised is the adapt sound function and I must say it really works. It does a sound test with your ears and once completed, it will shape the equalizer to match your ears. I have to say, after I tried it, the sound is better. I tried on both IEMs and BT headphones. I used to have to push the volume to force the sound to open up clearer. Now lower volume can get good clarity already.

One thing I hate though. Notifications on this phone is a mess. It keeps vibrating at the wrong time (either too late or for no reason) and keeps showing something is running in the background but doesn't let me do anything about it. lol.

where to do the the adapt sound

Hi fellow foruMers

About the moist bug thing.? Restarting the phone doesn't really help is there any way to stop this
*
QUOTE(hightechgadgets8 @ Oct 8 2018, 11:06 AM)
have u tried hair drying the port for a while or get a paintbrush and try to remove residue inside
*
the easiest way is to fold a soft tissue and rub softly along the port.
i've done that, and restart phone, then the error is gone.

hence the soft tissue, not the one you get from rice shops.

Fellow S9 users, I would like to ask about your average battery life as I suspect my S9 has an abnormal drain.

Auto brightness on
Location on
Mobile data on
Wifi on

Usual Apps Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp
Normal usage

My battery lasts below 20 hrs. I know usage is subjective but just to get a feel of what are the hours you guys are getting....
*
are you talking 20 hours or 2 hours?
i don't ever see a phone lasts 20 hours, unless you put on maximum saving mode, no data/wifi, no location and plane mode.

If this doesn't work, just try putting in rice for a few hours. If still doesn't help, then service centre it goes.
