You guys are too picky. There is nothing wrong with Exynos 9820 version. It's amazingly fast with amazing battery life. Synthetic benchmarks mean almost nothing!

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] YellowGTO:
I ordered the Snapdragon version because its what Tmo US sells. I'm not a huge phone gamer, but I haven't found speed to be a factor on a modern flagship phone in years. I'm much more worried about battery life and overall features. Speed at this point is pretty much the least of my concerns. The only thing actually tying my to Samsung anymore is secure folder, another company REALLY needs to create a competitor. ( did order S10+)
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Cst79:
I am interested in whichever one is better at battery life. If Samsung would put a midrange chipset with that camera in that shell, I would buy it :) I am inclined to believe that the 7nm Snapdragon will be better than the 8nm Exynos, but there were occasions (Galaxy S7/Edge) when the Exynos version was vastly superior in battery life. I would really want to see a battery life comparison between SD855 and Exynos 9820 in order to decide if importing from the US to Europe at a higher price is actually worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] donky kong 017:
Exactly what I would say. Waiting on a battery comparison as well.

Benchmarks are not that important. I tend to set all my phones on a battery friendly setting since years.

Preordered the exynos s10, but in the end its the only option really in Europe. If battery is better then I can miss out on the speed. But i agree on some of the opinions that charging the same money on so vastly different phones when there is such a big difference in the chipsets is wrong.

But I would say we have to wait for the release, as the demo and preproduction units are not with final software.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Cryte-k:
the snapdragon version when it comes out? on ebay I only saw the exynos version.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] LEX404:
After 7 years of iPhone I'm planning to switch to android.

The problem is that the snapdragon version has the bootloader locked... and I don't know exactly in which way

I'm living in Mexico so we get the SD855 but we also have the exynos on Amazon.

SD855 is way better (battery, heating, speed) but can I at least root the device? Will be there few custom roms? I'm switching from iPhone cos I got tired and bored. But i dont want a device that locks me again...

On the other hand, the exynos comes with no warranty, heating issues, battery, etc. But it comes in dual SIM and green and flawless rooting/ custom roms

In the first year I don't plan to root/ change the ROM, but after a year I might want to do it and the most frustrating thing would be the impossibility due to locked bootloader.

Gosh just saw my signature :))) I haven't been here for a loooong time haha
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
The SD models will come locked, and will stay that way unless a vulnerability is found, the same applies to root. No ETA on either of the two. But honestly don't expect the bootloader to become unlocked in the SD variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] LEX404:
So the only chance is exynos from Amazon :( or if I can get SD from Hong Kong (probably not)

That's so unfair
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Well, what's your preference?

Do you want bootloader unlocked, root or both?

If all you really want is root AND you were going to wait about a year anyway, then the SD model may be just fine.

If you want your bootloader unlocked then Exynos for sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] LEX404:
But in order to root the device I need to have the bootloader unlocked, right?

Apparently Amazon Mexico is selling the exynos

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Not necessarily. I haven't rooted my phone since the S5 (I like using Samsung Pay) but I didn't have to unlock my bootloader to do so and from what I've seen on the S7 and S8 forums for the US versions, there's no bootloader unlock but there are root methods.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
There is no root method at all for the US Snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
That is incorrect (if you're talking about the previous generations), take a look on the Verizon/AT&T/T-Mobile/Sprint S7/S8 forums and you will see there are instructions.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Low_Key_Slaps:

and if ppl will stop buying trash, it would be great !!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
My carrier uses CDMA, I have no other option other than to purchase the SD models. So... There's that
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
There is no root at all for the US Snapdragon and who is talking about previous generations. Go hang out in the previous generation forums if you like, but this is the S10 and THERE IS NO ROOT FOR IT.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
You quoted me initially. Reread the above conversation before replying and quoting me next time.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
This is the S10 there is no root on the US Snapdragon.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Outbreak444:
Let me break it down Barney style for you since I can't post a gif of a face palm.

Here's my first response to the guys question:

And here's my 2nd response:

Now, obviously there is no root method for the SD S10 at this moment in time, but the other models have been able to get root, and it's likely that the S10 will as well. Unlocked bootloader, not likely though. Now do you follow?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] :
My understanding is that for US customers, the SD modems are much faster than Exynos, right? We get better data speeds with the SD?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Ace42:
SD on US carriers will have 4x4 MIMO, 7x carrier aggregation, up to 2gbps DL/316 UP, GNSS, etc. The Exy supports 8x CA, but it might not have every band used by US carriers. Everything else seems similar aside from 7nn vs 8nm.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] ekaplan362:
Please let me know if you have found a decent head to head comparison. I'm in the same boat. But do the us unlocked versions get updated as often as the international unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] varcor:
Not so, at least with the S9 and likely to continue with the S10. The Latin American variant has Spapdragon SoC, bootloader unlocked.

---------- Post added at 06:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:30 AM ----------

Latin American variants which are sold in Mexico should have Snapdragon SoC with the bootloader unlocked. This is the case with the S9's.

---------- Post added at 06:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 AM ----------

Latin American and Hong Kong variants with Spapdragon 855 Chipsets will have an unlocked bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] nomailx:
The Exynos 9820 is an 8nm chip while the SD 855 is 7nm. But that's not the only reason. I guess Samsung didn't tweak their processor enough and rushed it. Rumors about the Note 10 harboring a 9825 version gives it away.

Btw, the Snapdragon is getting way better than Exynos for a while now. After I gave back the Note 7 (EU), I replaced it with the XZ Premium, and I can tell you that the performance was way better although both phones were the same generation. Games FPS was way higher, less lag when multitasking, etc...

If you want a longer term future proof performance, go for the Snapdragon. Or wait for the Note 10 to see what will be inside. (9825 may be at par with the SD855). But the Exynos 9820, thats a deal breaker.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jacobas92:
If I purchased a carrier unlocked s10e online directly from samsung in the US, what variant will I get and will the bootloader be unlockable?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
It will be a Snapdragon and the bootloader will be unlockable unless Samsung has done a 180 which I'm almost 100% sure they haven't.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] jacobas92:
Thanks, was worried once I saw that SD's will be locked. This was the whole reason I bought from sammy and not verizon
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
By getting the unlocked phone you may not get some of the features like Voip calling and visual voicemail from Verizon. I doubt Samsung will ever unlock the US phones for rooting and such though. I don't use Verizon but eventually you should be able to flash a Verizon rom if you want those features. Someone that has Verizon maybe can help more with that.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] NonXtreme:
From what I know the bootloader of carrier unlocked US galaxy have always been locked.

Maybe you confuse carrier unlock with bootloader unlock?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
That's what I said, but I am wondering if the person I replied to meant sim lock instead of the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] tymex928:
The Test is for the S10+ and not for the S10.

You've made a good choice the exynos is still great.

The mi9 does seem better but its marginal.

I've got the s10 exynos I was going to get the s10+ but thought I'd prefer a slightly sleeker size this time round.

Enjoy your s10+ don't look at benchmarks there overrated :svetius:

When you lock the microphone slot with your finger and talk via a Bluetooth microphone, is there a sound.

when i use RUU it comes up with this error and stops at 4% of the instalation.

when i try to flash the .nbh (any) file from the phone by holding the camera button when turning on, Herald freezes on the tricolor (red green blue) screen. it says.

IPL 4.17.0001

SPL 4.70.Yang

Dont know what to do, i must have done something wrong
[Wing, P4350 General] ivanmmj:
Which ROMs have you tried? Some ROMs can only be flashed from an SD card because even the HardSPL requires at least 50mb (51200kb) to flash through ActiveSync.
[Wing, P4350 General] papamopps:
be happy... when it shows 4.70.yang....

you can flash any rom.... but not one with wrong size..

hihihi
[Wing, P4350 General] armyboi4id:
I had the same problem when i tried flashing a rom with herald uspl when it was actually supposed to be installed on sd. If it is meant to be installed by sd you need to fat 32 format your sd card and put nothing but the .nbh file on there, put it in your phone and then hold down the camera button and use your stylus to push the soft reset while still holding the cam button. It should then recognize the rom and you will be able to start flashing. If it just sits at the bootloader screen (rainbow screen) dont freak out just reset your device again, if that happens you may have a corrupt file.
[Wing, P4350 General] armyboi4id:
Was this rom by chance open touch 4.0 micro? Because I had that problem also and I cannot figure it out.
[Wing, P4350 General] azik:
I've tried Just2Clean and Open Touch v4.0 WM 6.1 both thru RUU and from SD card. had no luck in both cases. i really wanna have J2C tho.

Gonna try formating the SD and will report back. Regards
[Wing, P4350 General] ivanmmj:
J2C has to be done through the SD card. Like armyboi4id said, fFormat the card to FAT32, place the HERAIMG.nbh on the SD card, press and hold the camera button and then press the soft reset with the stylus. When it comes up to press something to flash, press the volume down key. And just wait until it says that it's done. :-)
[Wing, P4350 General] azik:
ok, i've got J2C image on the sd card and nothing else. it is fat32, i press the camera button, reset it, then the tricolor screen. and that is it.

now i got two questions jsut to be sure. when do i release the camera button? and how long do i have to wait before the tricolor screen changes to anything else?
[Wing, P4350 General] azik:
what's the correct size?
[Wing, P4350 General] armyboi4id:
release the camera button when the bootloader comes up. it should recognize the sd card and .nbh almost immediately and go to a white screen.
[Wing, P4350 General] ivanmmj:
Just hold the camera button until you see it saying "reading."

Again, like armyboi4id said. :-p

The correct size is 50mb (51200kb) as I said.
[Wing, P4350 General] azik:
aight, i reverted back to shipped wm6 and then flashed Open Touch 4.0 without Hard SPLing the device and it worked. maybe i wasnt supposed to hardspl it in the first place lol.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orifori:
For years I've been using apps that change sound profiles (e.g. Tasker) when I am near cell towers or wifi routers WITHOUT the need for location/GPS to be enabled. When I upgraded to Android 9.0 Pie wifi polling stopped working when location is not enabled. I read that cell polling is also not working.

My desire is to have this functionality (near cell / wifi polling) WITHOUT the requirement of location to be enabled in Android settings. I simply do not want my location to be tracked quite precisely 24/7.

Is there a solution or some workaround to this problem? Maybe some additional apps, Magisk modules, custom roms or something else? At least I would like to have the option to disable GPS if location is enabled (there is no such option in stock Android). I have a rooted Smasung Galaxy S9+.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henryakeley:
Hi, I recently got an S4 and installed Nougat RR custom ROM on it. It was all working mostly fine, but one day I tried to make a phone call and saw this strange behaviour. Once I put in the number and press Dial, the screen goes black and I lose control over the phone - can't evoke the keyboard, cancel the call or do anything else apart from hard reset. Interestingly the call actually is under way - it connects and you can have a conversation.

I don't use the Phone function often, mostly communicate via IM, but it is crucial that it's working, just in case. Therefore I tried few different custom ROMS from the I9506 dev thread- Lineage 15/16 and Cyanogen 13 - the same stuff happens on all of them. It works ok on a stock rom though. I also tried flashing different modem than recommended XXUDOJ2, to no avail.

I'm not very experienced with all this stuff, so not sure, perhaps I'm doing something basic wrong way. Though, my old phone S3 with CM 11 works fine on the same SIM card.

-phone: S4 LTE GT-I9506 according to IMEI

-bought in Europe (Poland) but now I use it in Taiwan

Can provide other details on request. Any help/ideas would be most appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondJohn:
If you are not concerned with loosing data or taking the time to go to the extreme step, to get a phone back from the dead, the best bet in a lot of peoples mind would be to reset the phone by flashing the original firmware. There are numerous threads here on XDA on how to do that.NB: Custom ROMs are not bug free, but even more likely to have issues than stock.

The hard question now becomes what is the correct firmware for your phone.

Sorry, just noticed you have tried and have no issue going to stock :o

First thing to remember is that each specific ROM has been built to work with a specific bootloader-modem combination. Using the wrong one could cause issues.

If you have matching ROM/modem/bootloader and still an issue, try a dalvik ad cache wipe and reboot. If you still have issues, get a logcat and post it somewhere on a text hosting site like www.hastebin.com and paste a link to it with your issue in the ROM specific thread. Also, I would suggest Oreo, as its still early days for Pie and most people have probably moved off of Nougat.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henryakeley:
Thanks again for replying DJ, but perhaps I wasn't very clear :) The phone itself is not dead - it works fine. The issue is with the "Phone" app. Basically, when I try to make a call, the aforementioned weirdness happens - call is underway but screen goes black and I can't access any functions like keypad or cancel. I can Power Off and then the rom reboots and works again (though it always goes into Don't Disturb mode). When I try to make a call again, the same stuff happens.

I tried a stock rom and the Phone app did work. I don't want to use it though because it has all the google stuff and avoiding it is the main reason I use custom roms in the first place.

So far I have tried most of the custom roms the first two pages here. I tried to follow instructions and also to use the appropriate modems/bootloaders (actually, it's always UDOJ2 one). On all of them the Phone app has the same behaviour. Actually, I did sort of manage to get it to work on the latest unofficial RR (7.0.0) - it goes black too, but then screen comes back after some weird keypresses combo...bit sketchy, but workable. But then Line is not working on this rom and I really need this app too, so...

I can try and get the "logcat" from one of your roms (I really liked your RR and used it for some time on this phone) and then post in the appropriate thread...or would you recommend Havoc one instead?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiamondJohn:
No, I got it on a second read, and hence the strike out of the first part, on my first go at responding.:o

A logcat is best for a mostly working phone. Otherwise a last_kmsg; which still may provide some info on your startup/initialisation.

If you can't access the screen, setup and connect via adb before the phone becomes unresponsive.

I would suggest to do it on a LineageOS ROM as it would have less possibly buggy customization. Also, it would possibly have more users, and those threads are created by the guy who builds the base for nearly all ROMs for this device.

You may be better off to try Lineage16 as that thread is more alive, but Los15.1 would be more stable. I personally would try LOS15.1 first, and then if you get no help, flash 16.1 and try your luck on that thread.

Once you get a stable phone, then I personally would recommend HavocOS. It has the most customisations, even more than the old King RR, and hence I've moved from RR to Oreo Havoc; with a short step in between of Oreo crDroid.

Just realised, you said you historically used my RR build, which I assume that back then you did not have the issue. I will assume that it now has the issue? have you tried restoring from an old TWRP backup?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] henryakeley:
No, I susppose the issue was always there, I just did not need to make an actual phone call fro few weeks since i installed your rom. I'm in Asia and all the communications needs here are covered by Line messaging app. Then I went to a phone shop to recharge my credit, they needed to call some service and access the keypad and it all came out then.

I could still use it as a Line device, but in reality do need the working phone app too, for some emergencies when traveling and so on.

Will try to do a logcat from Lineage, thanks for your help. If it comes to nothing might try to pester you again in one of your rom threads :)
