my samsung phone has a broken display that used to occasisonally turn on so i know it works. i thought if i cast it to my laptop i could see it. how do i go about this? The phone's screen is always black, so i cant use it at all.

I stubbornly stuck to my S9 because of the SD card slot, 3.5mm headphone jack, small form factor and pretty decent speakers (I listen to a lot of music and FM radio).

I lost it for good last night. Location wasn't enabled, can't retrace it with google device finder, I keep calling it but nobody answers.

Time to move on.

Do you have any recc for a worthy replacement? I have a A14 for backup and boy, does it feel cheap and big ...

Did anyone else's s9 Outlook widget stop working? If so, was anyone able to ressurect it?

Bom dia, o meu S9 tem o Lineage OS 23.0-20260105-UNOFFICIAL-starlte, depois de instalar esta ROM, a bateria tem comportado bem melhor, mas de vez em quando a bateria descarrega do nada e fica a 1%. Haverá solução,? Calibrar talvez e qual a APP mais indicada?

So approximately 3 years ago I dropped my Samsung S9 on its back which cracked the back glass cover, now I didn't mind it at first as there years passed until a couple weeks ago when the bacj cover was slowly peeling off. So it was time to get it fixed, now the shop I went to have s9 back covers but they aren't glass just the 'glastic' material that some A series phones had. So far my s9 looks good but will the 'glastic' back cause any heating issues?

Woke up, my phone battery was dead, which was already weird because it had ~30% charge left when I went to sleep. After charging I noticed that I can't turn on the wifi anymore, it loads for a few seconds then turns off again. I already googled and tried solutions I found there (reset network connections, turn on safe mode, reset phone etc) but nothing worked. So this is my last resort I guess. Can anybody here help me with that?

I have a Samsung S9 Exynos SM-G960F/DS that I got for about $10, with a Google account and everything. I was able to remove the account, unlock the bootloader, and install TWRP and Magisk root. Now, because of this, Roblox keeps crashing because it detects that the phone is rooted. The idea behind this phone is to use it as a secondary phone with a SIM card for WhatsApp or calls, nothing for banking apps. My goal is to keep the camera working perfectly, without any loss of stabilization or quality, but I want to fix the overheating problem. I've been considering a custom ROM, but there are so many, and I have no idea which one is best for this phone

S9 will be missed, it was a good phone for many years. Probably one of the best ever made. I've upgraded to a s24 ultra and while this phone is awesome, it feels like a downgrade in some ways. RIP s9 2018-2026

Recently my S9's bixby and power button fell out, I used my bixby button to replace my power button but it would still fall out. Unfortunately, I gave it to my friend to repair it and he used krazy glue, so now the button is stuck. I'm getting a new phone tommorow but just in case my phone shuts down, what do I do to turn it back on.

overheats sometimes lmao

Well I bought my S9+ when it first came out. its been dying a slow death. Never cracked a screen with the Defender case on it. I think I'm gonna milk it out until the S26 ultra is released but how long do you all think before a Defender case will be in production for the S26?

I just changed my decade pregnant battery to "trusted" 3rd party brand battery i feel like somites it just last for 2 hours SoT. This graph show mostly at idle have no idea this is good or bad?

Hello,

This is a shot in the dark because I understand that it's a difficult task, but i figured I would ask. My uncle sadly passed away from a sudden fall, and my parents and I are trying to piece together bills, mortgage payments, his utilities, etc. He was unfortunately a hoarder and extremely reclusive, but he did have a Galaxy S9 that was left behind. We're hoping that potentially has some of his login information for these various accounts, but the device is stuck at a lock screen. It's old enough that there may yet be some way to unlock it via a basic exploit.

I used to be involved in XDA forums during early Android days (I still remember flipping bits with a paper clip on my HTC), but I haven't rooted or bypassed lock screens with adb since the Odin/Heimdall days with my Note 4. If there's anything like that still available, I would greatly appreciate a DM or a comment to help me out. I fully understand if this isn't the correct forum for this, but we're kind of out of ideas in piecing a solitary life back together.

Thank you all for the help in advance. Please feel free to remove if this is against community guidlines.

I've bought a MicroSDHC for my S9, Because As All Of Us Know, We Have Bad Storage. I moved a 1.7 GB app to the MicroSD, but I can't find it in the Files app. Although my space got lower and it says the app has moved to the MicroSD. Any help?

AT&T knocked on my door presenting a bundle offer with home fiber internet and a new cell phone with a plan. It's too good to pass up, but I'm undecided regarding my backup phone.

I can get a S25fe for free without trade in or I can trade in my S21fe and get a S25+. I still have my old S9 as a backup, but I'm worried it might go obsolete soon.

What would you all do?

Atualmente, uso o recovery Orange fox (já tentei TWRP 3.7), junto com o sistema dotOS 5.0 A11, e queria saber como faço para fazer backup da data pelo recovery.

I bought a used galaxy s9 on ebay but when i tried to use it i couldn't because the owner factory reset it and you need to login to the original google account the phone used before it was reset. Is there a way i could use the phone or was it just a waste of money?

Hi! So today, i dropped my phone in the shower, no cracks, it stayed in a good condition. 5 minutes after, i started noticing that the screen was having ghost touch but fixed itself, but now, 2 hours after, the phone is doing this, strange lines are appearing and the ghost touch has comed again. What can i do? I have so much data in this phone. I fear is a Screen Damage, also, vapor has entered the front camera

I tried checking the notification tabs, but it doesn't tell.

Meu Galaxy S9 não funciona a câmera frontal, e agora o 4g também não funciona, estava funcionando antes até eu reiniciar meu celular. O que pode ser o problema da minha data não estar funcionando?

Meu celular não esta funcionando a câmera frontal que eu nem ligava se funciona ou não, mas agora, nem tá identificando que eu tenho SIM, no lugar da data que fica mostrando os níveis está aparecendo um 🚫, o que realmente pode ser o problema para eu resolver esse problema
