I have no preference or opinion, all I'm sharing is neutrality and I want unbiased facts.

I decide if this thread is worthless or not, so I don't really see what you're trying to moderate here, don't discount on me.

Without going off topic, Here the S10+ shows some odd behaviour, most of the time when it loses you can see the app taking even 0.5-1s to launch after the icon is tapped, other times it launches and it spends too much in a black screen, it wins every other speed test when that doesn't happen.

Some youtubers mentioned having issues when running these speed tests, some apps kept continuously crashing and they had to select specific shared apps for the tests.

All I can think about is that the Exynos lacks optimisation, on the kernel side or the scheduler, since it is actually newer than the 855.

We spotted 855 reference devices months ago and it had plenty time to mature regarding software support, plus it's a shared platform that doesn't need specific hacks from a single manufacturer.

Even with the node deficiency in mind, the Exynos looks way better on paper than its counterpart, raw single core performance and the super low memory latency show how much silicon power and efficiency there is thanks to proper cache placement this time, hopefully they get their software fixed before the public gets away with a negative impression.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Outbreak444:
All I was saying was that a "mine is better than yours" doesn't promote a good discussion. I'm not moderating anything, but I doubt you want this thread to become "the big debate between SD and Exynos".

Back on topic though, I honestly think you'll end up with the superior processor in the end. As I said earlier, you will have the ability to tweak settings that I'll never be able to get close to changing. It's a new chip and it will take some time for developers to find what works better, within Samsung and even here on XDA. Don't base your opinion upon your first use of the device.

In regards to the videos you mentioned of YouTubers having issues, I've seen users saying that the pre-release models they're using are not equivalent to what will be commercially available. I'm not sure if that's true but I could see that being a possibility.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Corv0:
Not really a debate between the two since Snapdragon's not accessible to most people and I wouldn't want a censored platform either , he just sounded bad with the usual "uh but 7nm is better than 8".

I checked the demo versions in stores multiple times and they work flawlessly, it makes the whole benchmark drama looks overblown, let's hope it becomes a reliable platform.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Outbreak444:
Exactly why I said that.

Light use of those phones may not have resulted in any noticing issues tough.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] disturbedrhythm:
I have an Exynos S10+ right now (retail unit) and would be happy to share any information you guys want. benchmark numbers, camera samples...anything. just reply to my post

Here you go
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrPhilo:
How is this a scam? Samsung clearly tells you the specification they're selling you. They aren't hiding nothing lol. Your definition of scam is flawed yo.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Corv0:
Specifications are meaningless, the only info they shared is simple superficial stuff that we already knew, there's no guarantee of same performance levels across all variants and there clearly is a difference at the moment.

If you sell "octa core processor" around while half of the units have worse performance than the previous generation, that's a scam.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrPhilo:
That's not a scam. Your definition of scam doesn't make sense.

If they wanted to sell something slower than last generation, that's fine, you got your information, don't buy it. They aren't hiding anything from you, they are pretty much giving you all the information before you buy it. You're the one at fault for buying it. Plus this is faster than last Exynos generation, so it's actually valid for the continent it sold at.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Corv0:
Have you been around the last year? Are you aware of what happened with the 9810?

That's as scammy as a hardware scam can get, it took them almost a year to fix the scheduler and it is still far from the 845, the next gen being better than the previous one is a bare minimum, not a bonus of any kind.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] MrPhilo:
That is not how a scam work. I know what you're trying to say but no.

I have, it's a shame what happened to the Exynos but it's not like it effected people life using the Exynos than the Snapdragon. You need to move on from that. If you're really that frustrated that the US has a better S10, don't get it, move on. Samsung clearly aren't scamming no one, they're giving you the device you bought without hiding nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Corv0:
If I could skip this gen I would, but my personal device is dying and the S10+ is the most solid platform to buy right now, inferior SoC or not, I won't upgrade again until LPDDR5X and 7nm++ are a thing.

Exy vs Mi Mix 3, 35 vs 18 isn't too bad
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] GunGirlYuna:
Actually no where on the box/samsung site/other retailers online stores have stated whether my phone was Eynox or Snapdragon. I believe in buyer beware but I expect something like that to be disclosed up front.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ZeneticX:
benchmarks from this 2 reviews can be taken as positive as well I guess. there's a Mi 9 in the running for comparison with the 855

it shows the Exynos is insane in single core scores and just slightly behind the 855 in multicore and GPU

Hello,

Can someone please tell me what is this connector in the picture attached?

The head unit model is MOTREX MTXM200QL.

Thank you.
[Moto E5 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLastAlphaUK:
Just for the record, Motorola phones and normally quick and easy to ROOT however this is been a right pain in the ass. No guide on here has worked properly for the UK version anyway so soon after I found a working way i thought i would do this to help anyone else....

Requirements:

unlocked bootloader

THIS ZIP FILE

extract the files and open a cmd prompt in the ADB folder or run a cmd and us 'cd C:\adb\' [or location of the unzipped adb folder]

run 'fastboot boot recovery.img'

backup the cache partition so it creates the TWRP>BACKUPS>SERIAL>ROM folder

copy the rooted rom folder to TWRP>BACKUPS>SERIAL>*here* [ please note serial stands for the serial number of device and this will vary with each person]

hit restore, system + data + boot,

when finished reboot to recovery

you are now in the stock recovery so hold the power button and tap volume down to unlock the menu then you want to wipe data factory and just use data AND NOT the personalised content as well..

then reboot

do the initial set up.

then perform 2/3 system updates [security patches i believe? from the system settings > updates]

when all this is complete, afterwards click on magisk manager and let it update. It will then give you a warning error saying the version of magisk too old.

so power off your phone and then put it back into bootloader. [hold power + vol down from a powered off state]

use fastboot boot twrp_james.img [from cmd promt inside adb folder]

when the recovery loads in the same cmd prompt type adb push Magisk-v18.1.zip /sdcard/ [or u can just copy the zip file onto the storage if it shows up on ur pc]

install magisk 18.1 and then reboot to boot loader and use fastboot flash logo logo1.bin to remove bad key error

have been in a mad rush to get this done before i go work hopefully you can understand if there are any problems just msg me

Hi there, im unable to backup the cache partition (showing as 0mb in cwm) think it may have something to do with encryption.

Would love to follow your instructions, do you have any ideas

(BIG MISTAKE)

http://www.tradebit.com/filedetail.php/2559279-Software-Programs-Cell-Phone-Programs

and i followed the instructions and after i hard reseted my phone, it booted to a white screen. I have tryed reflashing, going into bootloader mode and reflashing, and i nothing helps.

can one of the experts on this forum please help me???!!!

thanks

i need help assap!! lol

i dont care even if i flash back to winmo5, I JUST WANNA UNBRICK :-)
[G4] zabardast_1:
What IPL/SPL it displays now ? ,Does it get into Bootloaders ? if it still does than download and flash 'wizard_love_rom' hope it'll recover back.
[G4] dahdout:
RE:

It just boots into a white screen. If i hold the camera and power buttons together it boots into bootloader mode, and says USB in the bottom corner. (when i am conncected via usb) but the problem is that active sync doesnt recognize it in bootloader mode. I have tried flashing it in many different ways and i have had no success.

When i go home i will try wizard_love_rom.

and as for the IPL/SPL, i will also check that when i get home.

Where can i download the wizard_love_rom?

Thanks for the help !
[G4] dahdout:
RE:2

Hello,

Mr IPL and SPL are both 2.25.0001

My GSM: 02.25.11

My OS: 2.18.0.0
[G4] dahdout:
Good News

So, I flashed my phone with the "Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2.rar"

which i found the download for over a quick google search, and now i want to update to winmo6 or 6.1.

Can you send me the link for the easiest way to do it on a G4 cingular 8125 (HTC Wizard.)

I have never CID unlocked, which was probably why i got the white screen earlier. but do i need to do it know that i am on the wizard love rom?

please help,

thanks
[G4] zabardast_1:
Glade its working again ! :D

You got a G4 device,it cannot be CID unlocked,but however,it can be upgraded to wm6 or 6.1,read the methods 'HardSPL' or 'SoftSPL' posted as stickies in the G4 forum for upgrading to wm6 or 6.1.
[G4] dahdout:
re:3

thanks, you really saved me with your help!
[G4] zabardast_1:
Thanks ! :D

Glade you got it working ;)
[G4] dahdout:
sorry, but i need help... again :-)

Ok,

I know that this may be getting a little annoying for you and im sorry for that, but i need your help on this. I am currently running the wizard love rom. And I have Hard SCP'd.

I have to problems:

1. My EDGE doesn't work, i only get GPRS speed data.

2. I can't upgrade to any new rom..... i always get "ERROR [300] Get a newer update utility!"

How can I fix both of these problems?

I have searched forums and google and nothing has come up.
[G4] zabardast_1:
ok,for error (300)you can use the RUU MUNS already posted in the 'HardSPL' thread,download the RUU_MUNS application extract it to a folder and copy and paste all the files of this extracted to the folder of the Rom replacing all the RUU files in that folder or copy the nk.nbf folder in the Rom to the extracted folder of the RUU_MUNS and then run the RUU,it will start to flash and complete and hopefully fully boot up.

For edge or gprs,you'll have to get network settings of your network carrier or check out the thread from where you downloaded the rom,its uaually posted there or check out the 'Network' thread.
[G4] lmd0990:
Aquestion to Zabardast_1 ?

294 error , invalid vender ID

what does that means & asolution to it during rom update
[G4] zabardast_1:
ERROR [294] : INVALID VENDER ID

One of these error messages will appear when you use the wrong RUU to do the upgrade. RUU will check if the Model ID and Language ID are compatible with the device. Make sure you use the appropriate RUU tool to upgrade. :D
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] fxcoder:
Hi,

So a while back I rebranded my CLT-L09 to CLT-L29 C432 which went fine. Even though I have a dual sim tray it doesn't recognise the second sim, so I just left it as is as I was hoping that at some point in the future a tool would be released to convert to dual sim.

Yesterday I upgraded to 9 and the first sim which was working, now does not work. I don't get the prompt to enter the PIN and the phone just says emergency calls only. I tried reverting back to 8 and the sim is recognised again.

Would quite like to go to 9, so what are my options? Can I use the same rebrand files and oeminfo to rebrand to CLT-L09 C432 for example?

Thanks,
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] fxcoder:
Ok - so the SIM had a PIN on it. Removed the PIN and it's now working - so perhaps there is a bug in 9 with the SIM PIN prompt which never gets shown to unlock the SIM?

Hi. I see that the videos downloaded can easily be extracted and transferred to a new device.

I would highly recommend a sort of Encryption on the video to prevent it being pirated.

Reporting Bugs

DO NOT Report bugs if you're running a custom kernel or you installed Xposed

Grab a logcat right after the problem has occurred. (Please include at least a few pages of the log, not just the last few lines, unless you know what you're doing.)

If it is a random reboot, grab /sys/fs/pstore/console-ramoops and /sys/fs/pstore/dmesg-ramoops-0. (Do not bother getting a logcat unless you can get it just before the reboot. A logcat after a reboot is useless)

If the problem disappears after running "setenforce 0" from a root shell, grab /data/misc/audit/audit.log

Remember to provide as much info as possible. The more info you provide, the more likely that the bug will be solved. Please also do not report known issues. Any bug not reported in the bug report format below may be ignored.

How to flash latest firmware

[ protip: 20191010+ builds require 50.2 FW (at least bluetooth, dsp, modem from it) If you're still running 50.1 you can flash this package in TWRP: https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=4349826312261769960 unless you're fine with having partially broken audio and broken Egistec fingerprint sensor ;3 ]

However if you want to flash whole firmware package onto both slots, you can follow the guide below:

1. Download latest firmware with XperiFirm.

NOTE: When using mono XperiFirm will fail to unpack the firmware, you can do it manually using following commands:

for f in FILE_*; do unzip $f; done
unzip boot.zip -d boot

2. Go to the directory where the firmware got downloaded to and remove following files:

- boot_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash

- boot_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin

- persist_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash

- persist_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin

- system_other_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash

- system_other_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin

- system_other_X-FLASH-ALL-9B8D_0x00.hash

- system_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash

- system_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin

- system_X-FLASH-ALL-9B8D_0x00.hash

- userdata_X-FLASH-CUST-18AE.sin

- vendor_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE_0x00.hash

- vendor_X-FLASH-ALL-18AE.sin

- vendor_X-FLASH-ALL-9B8D_0x00.hash

3. Turn off your phone, hold vol dn and plug in the USB cable, the screen should be off and green LED lit.

4. Run Newflasher, it'll flash entire FW to your current slot then unplug the USB cable and power on your phone.

5. Turn off your phone, hold vol up and plug in the USB cable, the screen should be off and blue LED lit.

6. Enter this command: `fastboot getvar current-slot`, it should return something like this:

current-slot: _b

Finished. Total time: 0.001s

7. Now switch to the opposite slot by entering command: `fastboot set_active a` if the current slot is `_b` or `fastboot set_active b` if its `_a`, you should see this:

Setting current slot to 'a'...

OKAY [ 0.012s]

Finished. Total time: 0.014s

or

Setting current slot to 'b'...

OKAY [ 0.012s]

Finished. Total time: 0.014s

8. Unplug usb cable and repeat steps: 3, 4

9. Profit?

Every time after instaling any magisk module phone is going to bootloop right after restarting, volume up and power 2,3 times fix the restart. Fingerprint reader stop working and it's menu disapper sometimes from settings/securitym,restart helps. Button recent sometimes does not show recent apps, restart helps.
