I don"t know if you noticed but, I posted several times about a very similar experience on earlier updates most recently post #615 a page or so back. I thought it was very odd that nobody posted to say they had similar problems or understood what was going on. You are the first and only one. For me, thankfully all returned to normal flashing July and August updates but, I am still a little nervous when update time comes. I sure hope someone can figure out what is causing this problem and help all of us avoid it in the future. I am afraid I don't know enough for it to be me.

Good luck with your future updates!

Edit: Sly, I see you commented on one of my earlier posts so you are aware of somebody having a similar issue. I hope replying didn't jinx you.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sly123:
Hey bsam,

thank you for your reply.

I already forgot that because on mine S10 everything went fine until last two weeks.

You haven't jinxed anyone. :D

I also want to mention that going from 3BTC directly to CTG2 instantly caused my second bootloop including the other side effects.

I think with awareness(properly backup everything) and spare time(1-2 working days) to restore everything it's not a real problem. (e.g. using Titanium Backup)

But I won't update for security purposes anymore but definitely for Android 11 and 12 which is confirmed by Samsung nowadays.:good:

Besides all problems I'm very happy with the new updates.:)

What a pity that Magisk Hide will never work again.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] bsam55:
Are you saying Android 12 is confirmed for this device?

That would be excellent support by Android standards as we started on Android 9.

Guys, can you please confirm if built-in Hiyya Spam Call Filter works fine in the UK?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sly123:
Yes it's confirmed officially. 3 major updates included since the S10. S20 will get A13 e.g.

I liked Samsungs software support anyway but this is really good.

Also at least four years of security updates are included.

All flagships will have guaranteed that support.

Also some selected devices of the A-Series.

As a result you will have your phone at least four years up-to-date. That's the time I regulary buy a new one.

Please help!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] VirtualWaver:
Hi All,

So, after so much time using the phone, what is your honest opinion - is Snapdragon worth all the hassle and issues that come with it? Will you import Snapdragon phones again in future?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] v1k1ngc0d3:
yes yes yes
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gitanitos:
Hi,

Even if is quite better than Exynos, I hesitate to buy again in the future here in Spain because carriers blocks some important features like VoLTE or WiFi calls and for example Samsung Pay doesn't work because is the Hong Kong app and I can't add any Spanish credit card.

It's a shame but this will be probably my last imported phone.

September patch / Software update 2.5

I think it is the last time, i will buy a samsung. It is the worst company to achieve a smartphone from. All the exynos models have already received the september patch and the UI 2.5

The next one will be a oneplus, i swear. I am so disappointed. Even my son with his S9 has already received updates. What´s wrong with that company?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] dcmandrel:
Agree. If they are not able to deliver One UI 2.5 on time, they (at least) should have released september´s security patch.

Anyone know how the updates procress works? Are there small group of developers in every region?

This approach, selling different processors, and different updates policies per region will cost them a lot of customers.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gitanitos:
Hi, I'm totally agree with all of you because I've the same problem myself.

Has anyone tried to flash another Qualcomm firmware on our model?

I mean USA or Canada's firms...I don't remember well if it's possible or not.

No I am not !!

Everything is working fine in the Netherlands I have to say

But only if you do a mod to get 4G+

The updates are coming 3 to 6 weeks later

my wife has a exynos version

And we are not seeing any difference at all with normal use

Exept for the faster updates she gets :(

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] iXaidyiu:
Well to all the above hatred towards Samsung, I would say Exynos gets their updates faster is because it's 1.) made by Samsung and 2.) many people are complaining about the lack of graphics processing power the Exynos is behind the SDM855. Thats why their are always prioritizing the updates for their true son rather than the half-blooded ones.

Don't get me wrong tho, this will also be my first and last Samsung phone I get.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Mab06:
Ever since I turned my phone on everything works as intended, volte, 4G+, payment... I am in Brazil. I love this phone.

The only sad part is the models sold here (exynos) receive updates way sooner them me with my snapdragon variant, at the begining I didn't care because it was matter of 1 or 2 weeks apart, but now it is months and I am starting to get mad.

I mean why the biggest company can get their thing together? . After S2, S3, S6, S10+ I am back to consider the iphone (and believe me it is not easy) just because at the end of the day things just work , and the best part equal for everyone.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] JorgeC37:
Agreed, but looks like in the future Exynos may surpass Qualcomm, I'm pretty happy with mine, minus the late updates. Samsung Pay works for me in Spain, with Unicaja Banco, don't know about yours.

Well, looking back now, I would probably repeat it with this model. But looks like in the future Exynos may surpass Qualcomm, I'm pretty happy with mine, minus the late updates. Samsung Pay works for me in Spain, but it is not common. The thing that would make me hesitate is repairability. The most important spare parts (screen and cameras) are not identical, camera sensors are different and display calibration is also different, so, I would not know if a screen replacement for the Exynos works in a snapdragon variant.

Hi everybody! First of all, sorry if this is an offtopic or posted in a wrong forum. I'm a newbie here.

I live in Spain and I'm interested in buying this version of Galaxy S10 because of the better range of coverage in rural areas compared to the Exynos' version, but I can't find it anywhere. In all the online shops I've asked for (TDimension, Etorren, WondaMobile, EglobalCentral and some Ebay sellers) is out of stock and without plans to have it again in the near future.

Do you know a reliable place to buy it?

Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tuntu:
It's discontinued, maybe a S20 FE could be another option.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] laelastica:

Many thanks for your reply. It's incredible how fast has been retired. Maybe I'm wrong but I think it was released last year.

I was looking for a 'compact' phone with audio jack, but thanks for your suggestion. It seems the only similar option is Huawei p30

You can try to import one of the unlocked US or Canadian versions which also have Snapdragon.

Other good compact option with headphone jack is the new Sony Xperia 5 II.

Another update just arrived, finally we have the October security patch.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] laelastica:
Many thanks for your help. I've been very tempted to get the Sony. I like the sober design, the specs are almost top, has 5g band, is very narrow, screen and battery life seem quite good and the price is high but lower compared to some rivals. The only problem is the height: 158 mm is not compact enough for my necessities.

So I'll be looking for US or Canadian version of the S10. I've read both are single SIM instead of Dual. Does anyone know if these versions work properly in Spain?

Thanks again! And sorry for asking all time

Viper4Android

Hey guys,

I wanted to let everybody know that [MENTION=7243932]Skulldron[/MENTION]'s guide [G970/G973/G975F] Ultimate Speaker Guide using Viper4Android for installing Viper4Android in "F" model S10s will work on our SM-G9730 devices. I'm guessing it's good for the SM-G9700 and SM-G9750 versions as well but cannot test. It is a rather buggy process (Viper4Android fault not [MENTION=7243932]Skulldron[/MENTION]) requiring a few tries and using Legacy mode. Legacy mode must be toggled when using phone speakers, at least that's my experience.

everything works just fine except the carrier aggregation (4G+/LTE+).i've been following all the step above to get it working here in malaysia but i got stuck on issue QPST EFS explorer like the picture i post below,i really hope someone can help or guide me to get the carrier aggregation working thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sig20:
Hi Guys,

I've been reading this post for some time and I was able to change the Carrier aggregation file to make an SM-G970U to work in my country.

Yesterday I was trying to add one more band as I did before but after the phone restarted the Qualcomm modem started to disconnect and reconnect every 1 second to the QPST port.

When it is connected you can read the modem model SDM855 but ESN is blank.

I already did a hard reset and a firmware reinstall but everything keeps the same.

It looks like modem is in some weird state and I cannot make it come back.

The remaining functions works like WiFi, but if I try to dial or access any modem menu the phone mostly restart.

I would like to see if there is another way to connect to the modem.

Any help or comment will be highly appreciated.

I'm afraid of many problems like root, Magisk Hide, Call Recorder, Samsung Health issues, etc.

Even Magisk Hide works quite good now.

I use SKVALEX Call recorder. Works very good but I'm on August 2020 version.

I couldn't send picture messages, and 3g doesn't work at all. I think on the s9 hk varient ppl flashed a firmware or csc from Puerto Rico, it worked because the s9 hk varient was sold in Puerto Rico. I'm crawling the webs everyday for a solution.

I think a csc flash would work, but the only 9750 csc's available are Hong Kong and mainland china, tgy and chc or smtn like that.

You're right, didn't realize. You cant send but you can receive. BUT 3rd party message apps likes Google messages work to send pictures. For 3g, yes no 3g but for me I'm used it from my previous HTC and there's always 4g around me.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tuntu:
Enable carrier frequency aggregation for the S10 TGY.

Warning: All manipulations are your responsibility. Changes made in accordance with this instruction are valid for networks of Russian operators.

1. Download the attached file QPST_2.7.474.zip (36.36 MB)

and the attached QUD.WIN.1.1 Installer-10037.3.zip ( 20.06 MB ) file

- a set of official Qualcomm utilities and the Qualcomm USB driver. Unpack: Install QPST.2.7.474 from the QPST folder.

2. Enter *#0808# in the dialer, select "DM+MODEM+ADB" in the menu that opens, and connect the phone to the computer. In the Device Manager (it is more convenient to use the view of the "connecting device") there should appear a composite USB device with two COM ports - command and diagnostic, most likely, the diag. port will have Class=SbClass=0xff - this can be seen in the properties of the device (Information - Property = Compatible ID). For this device, you need to manually install the driver from the QUD folder.

3. In the path Program Files (x86)/Qualcomm/QPST/bin run the QPST Config utility, if the phone is not recognized (SD855 should appear in the Phone column), add the port manually by name (e.g. COM5) by clicking "Add new port". When the phone is recognized, press Start Clients - EFS Explorer and wait for the EFS data to be read.

4. In EFS Explorer, delete the file /nv/items_files/modem/lte/rrc/cap/prune_ca_combos.

Attached file 00028874.zip ( 1.04 KB )

Unpack and replace the file in /nv/item_files/rfnv/00028874, then disconnect the phone from your PC and reboot.

Please note: after updating, firmware reset, firmware reinstallation, and possibly changing the SIM card (no pattern is detected, depending on the specific card), the procedure of deleting prune_ca_combos and replacing the 00028874 file should be repeated.

I can´t download the file 00028874.zip, the others can be dowloaded from Maestro2k5 's Android file host.
