[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] :
Hello!

I inherited this Tablet from a friend. Unfortunately it's FRP locked. I've tried various ways to bypass the FRP on this device.

I think I need the COMBINATION ROM for the SKS (South Korea region), but I can't find any links to it online or even what the name is. I've also seen mention of another combination file online but have been unable to find it:

T385DXU1ARF1_COMBINATION_OLB_FA70_T385DXU1ARF1_OLBFAC_CL12062135_QB18458156_REV00_user_mid_noship_MULTI_CERT.rar

I've downgraded it to the 7.1.1 firmware and previously tried:

1. Talkback method (drawing "L" does nothing - maybe for phones only?)

2. Calling emergency services and trying to connect to bluetooth device - I get a "You can not use the bluetooth feature on this call"

3. The disconnection method where you unplug the router near the FRP check. Always ends with "The connection was reset" or similar

4. Tried the above with the two South Korean 8.0 firmware available.

5. Tried flashing various other roms - usually with a PIT or aboot error.

6. Tried flashing combination roms with other regional codes - always instafails.

7. Using "Hagars FRP bypass" to encode the AP rom with ADB access. I've flashed the resulting rom and still don't have ADB access.

8. Various programs which basically won't play with it because the device lacks ADB access.

9. "HushSMS" Method. It will not receive the SMS

10. Tried flashing these combination firmwares (which near instantly results with "SECURE CHECK FAIL : PIT" on tablet):

S9+ Update help

Hello I have an AT&T S9+ That was stuck on the ARF4 Version, using Firmware.science I was able to get it to version ARG8, my goal is to get to Android Pie.

My question is, should I keep updating following the order on Firmware.science, or should I update from ARG8 to ARI6 to ARIB to RJ5 until I get to SAG Like in the table here in this AT&T Article?

https://www.att.com/devicehowto/tut...89?make=Samsung&model=SamsungG965U&gsi=1p0npl
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
If your going to install android 9 using the patched Odin and downloads from SamMobile/SamFirm/etc then I would just update using the latest update.

I would suggest using the non home_csc if you do. This will cause the phone to act like it was factory data reset, but it will ensure that all of the update has been applied. Granted you will have to reinstall everything, so if you have any backups via Samsung Smart Switch it could help cut down the time spent restoring your data.

Again it's a suggestion, you could probably use the other CSC file, but I have found that doing so could lead into problems... at least on mine it had, but only for the software update via OTA. Since I plan on using SamFirm/Odin for updates I am not concerned about it.

Using this route would give you the current OS release and all updates in one go... its not like an incremental update that you have to apply in a specific order (like with some Windows OS updates and hotfixes)

Microsoft Voice Command - Processing Too Quickly to Use "DIAL" Command - Help

Greets,

A co-worker bought Microsoft Voice Command and installed it on his Tilt. The Voice Command works fine for most items, but cuts off in the middle of a "DIAL" command, and then reads back the first 6 numbers. This happens no matter how fast you try to speak.

Since this was bought 2 days ago, it is the most recent version. Commands like "Call xxxx" and "What is my battery strength" work fine.

Does anyone else have familiarity with Voice Command acting too quickly / cutting you off before you can finish a DIAL command?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ekw:
I believe the timeout can be fixed via registry,

hklm\software\microsoft\voice command\speech

SRTimeout, mines 4000 ms.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jdmba:
Still No Go

Now that it is Monday I have checked the co-workers phone, and increased the timeout from 4000, to 5000, to 6000, to 7000.

In each case, the DIAL command still stops at 6 digits. Everything else works fine. Call X at Y works. What are my appointments for tomorrow works. etc.

Originally, I thought it was just stopping at 6 numbers. Actually, I started paying attention to the six numbers it is repeating (out of the standard 10 digit dialing). They have almost no bearing on the number actually spoken.

HELP!?!?!?!?!?!??!?

[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
so im at 5%, but in /sys/class/power_supply/capacity it says 0 .... not sure what's real anymore

I'm gonna charge up to 100% and see for myself what "full capacity" is like
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
and now i'm at 91% in status bar but 93% in that capacity file lol
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] superchilpil:
If I remember correctly Lithium batteries actually last longer if kept above the 60% range and taken off the charger when they're completely full or maybe a few percent before. It's the lower end of the battery percentage that actually damages the battery if it's kept there for too long. The lower the voltage the higher the resistance in the battery, this is going to cause heat in the battery, so the way you're charging your battery is most likely damaging. I might be wrong but battery tech has changed over the years, and some old misconceptions still exist.

My guess about the amount of difference in the battery display vs percentage is to protect people from this reason. To keep them off of the lower end of the battery because it's damaging to the battery and under the wrong circumstances it could cause the battery to overheat.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
While I can see that , i'm currently @ 100% in status bar, but 98% in the capacity file. and it won't go above that currently.

This kind of makes sense given how the battery jumps erratically from 100% to 98-06% too when discharging
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Tulsadiver:
What are you calling the capacity file? Battery in settings?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
this file > sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
So, just FYI, this is probably why i found charging it in TWRP to be the most accurate...

When i charge my phone up to 100% in twrp, i boot up phone, look at the capacity file and it reflects spot on what the status bar says, and it continues to do that throughout entire discharge.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ubergeek77:
The OP of the ACC discussion thread has some good links to studies done on Li-Ion batteries. It's a long read, but the summary is that you'll want to keep your temperatures as low as possible, and the battery itself between 30% to 80%. There are also some factors related to voltage that I don't really understand, but I do know that ACC manages the charging voltage to reduce strain while charging. The recommendation by the ACC developer for longevity is ~41%. That is within the 30% to 80% range, and I trust his judgement.

As for the other concerns in this thread, I don't think the difference in numbers serves any functional purpose other than to be annoying. It turns out that the one shutdown I had previously must have been a fluke, because now the battery in the statusbar will just sit there at 1% while the actual battery capacity ticks down, before forcefully shutting off at around 2% actual capacity. I don't even get the graceful "battery is empty, shutting down" message anymore.

Because the battery level reported by the capacity file is closer to zero than the statusbar one (simply because it shut down when that number was closest to zero), I'm inclined to believe it's the more accurate measurement. It's totally unrealistic to believe that the last 1% of the battery lasts as long as the previous 10%.

I can understand Google making the battery report a lesser number in order to protect the battery from the user, but that argument doesn't work if the phone just sits at 1% forever until it shuts down, which it has been doing for me. And the difference in numbers is just insane. Just today, the statusbar reported 2%, when the system reported 17%. A fifteen percent difference is absolutely absurd. I can understand a modest 3-5%, but this is just ridiculous.

I'm hoping there is a clever solution for this soon, or that the April update addresses it, because it's driving me crazy.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Face_Plant:
I tried this and the results from both commands were identical. I'm running the March update, rooted, and Kirisakura kernel.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ubergeek77:
Thanks for letting me know.

This is so weird. Maybe my battery is just horribly uncalibrated?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Face_Plant:
Maybe it's time to start fresh with a full wipe/format and reinstall the March update? Maybe ACC is causing the issue? Have you tried Battery Charge Limit? That's what I use.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] smartymcfly:
Why would you only charge your battery to 40%? I understand to prolong the life of the battery, but to what extent is going to do that.

You are shortening the amount of time needed between chargin. How much time does the battery last before you need to charge it again when you only charge it 40%?

If I am misunderstanding this, I think it would make more sense to keep the charge between 40%-80%.... Even if this is the case, how long does a charge last when you only use about 40% of it's capacity?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] superchilpil:
While I agree it's absurd if it in fact is showing a 15% difference, but where is the proof that such a thing is occuring?

I've read a few articles that talk in depth about lithium ion and the takeaway is to charge your device TO 75-80% and remove it at 30. Charging to 40% and completely discharging it is in fact damaging the OP's device and that's what I was trying to say.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] ubergeek77:
I've already given proof. The proof is that the battery value produced by running "dumpsys battery" does not match the actual battery value, as read by the kernel, under "/sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity." For clarification, the statusbar uses the value output by "dumpsys battery," which has been the incorrect value for me for almost a month now. SO's Pixel 3 XL is doing the exact same thing.

Further proof is that this offset doesn't serve any functional purpose. You would think that this kind of offset would be a way to protect the battery from the user, but that argument only works if the phone shuts itself down before the actual capacity reaches zero. That doesn't happen.

Instead, once the statusbar reaches 1%, it will just stay there indefinitely until the phone doesn't have enough voltage to keep itself on.

For example, let's say I'm monitoring the battery level in a terminal. When my statusbar says 2%, the kernel reads the battery as being 16%. It takes 10 minutes for the statusbar to reach 1%, and at the same time, the kernel battery reading will show 15%.

However, in a further 10 minutes, the phone does not shut off. Instead, the kernel battery reading will continue to tick down - 14%, 13%, ... 8%, 7%, etc - until the phone shuts off due to low voltage. During this time, the statusbar will continue to display 1%, despite the fact that the actual battery level is depleting.

No graceful shutdown, and the statusbar never reaches 0%. As such, I no longer see the "Battery Empty, shutting off" message where the phone shuts itself down gracefully.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] odontastic:
I've kept my Pixel 3 XL updated with the latest updates and Kirisakura kernel. ACC (default settings) and my battery was doing fine until around the March update when I started a difference in reported battery level between the status bar and system that worsened and grew to 15% or more (I don't exactly remember). Also the status bar battery level would hang at 1% for a ridiculously long time. After uninstalling ACC and a several of charging cycles it got better (and the April update). Now my difference is 3%.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] masri1987:
what happens if we delete that battery file? does it regenerate on it's own?
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] slayer1991:
Got the same error with a Pixel 3, /sys/class/power_supply/battery/capacity is about 10% higher than dumpsys.
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Bryanx86:
Is this why my phone shuts down at 14% battery level? I'll get a notification my battery is dying, check it, it'll be between 12-15% battery left, shut down 30 seconds later, and I can't reboot bc battery is dead. When I plug it in, then boot back up, it only says it is at 2 or 3%. I'm locked down bl because I thought maybe some root apps were messing with it, and I've even tried on q beta, but still early shutdown issue. Not really bothersome as I get 7 hrs or better screen on time, but it is curious....
[Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers] Topse:
I have a similar situation. It starts with 20-25%.

I think this started for me with q.

I wiped my device and flashed factory image to a/b slot. About 3 times .

How is your device going?

Hi everybody! I'm live in Spanish, exactly on Canarias Island and using sim card lebara mobile.

I bought note 9 and I waited for new updates soo long. I used many times odin etc. Soo I decided, I will install android Pie by my self.

I installed first rom "xeo" - because I'm polish.

I wanted to have xeo/xeo/xeo, to have always updates first.

When I installed XEO i had XEO/XEO/AMO,

but mobile please me, restart the phone to setting phone for your new operator. (lebara mobile)

I put ok, note restarted and then I check the CSC- XEO/PHE/AMO

(the same story I had on galaxy s8, from few months(6) I don't have any updates because csc was changed after I puted my sim card with Spanish number)

I installed XEU, with odin, I tried with sim card inside, after installing was XEU/XEU/AMO

But phone wanted to restart one more time to factory settings, because I changed operator.. Then I tried, phone start and CSC is

XEU/PHE/AMO

I wanted to find way to fix my updates problem so I checked what is a name off clear rom for Spain, and its... PHE (always after when I'm putting my card csc going to be -- /PHE/-- in the middle.

I download the PHE version, install with odin with lebara card inside and after this, móvil wanted to factory reset, I canceled this, go to setting to check and there was csc XEU/XEU/AMO -? Why, I installed PHE..

Then my phone show me, restart the device(no factory reset, just restart) to running on new sim card. I put okay and after restart my phone still have XEU/PHE/AMO

I tried install PHE two times, the same problem..

When I have XEU/PHE/AMO - I don't have any updates.. Maybe after 6 month something will be, but I want to have always newest updates

Any ideas?

To get PHE / PHE / AMO, you need to flash the latest PHE ROM which can be downloaded here:

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=1395089523397913931

Flash this. Insert Spanish SIM card, and do a factory reset.

It will show PHE / PHE / AMO and you will get OTA updates as well.
