The weirdest thing happened today

I am rooted and bootloader is unlocked. However I have Ed xposed with firefds[pie] installed where I turned on change phone status to official option.

And voila... I am getting OTA notification and it is downloading. So I guess you can get ota when rooted if your phone status is official
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Snoete:
Yep, Got the update too.

Android 10 went to A705FNXXU5BTE2 / A705FNOXM5BTE2 / A705FNXXU5BTB9.

175.53 Mb big with 1 april 2020 security patch.

But nothing mentioned about batterylife or other recent probs...
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Rhaziel007:
The selfie cam now has 21 mp. The other one is fine. Samsung just confirmed this. It's probably a hardware problem, that noboby has complained to them, except me, in portugal. I installed a fresh version os android 10 and tested it. I'm taking it to the samsung assistance. If they can't solve this, they return my money.also confirmed by the operator by the way.

Ok but you only get the 32 on the wide. The close one in 3:4h should also be in 32 and it's not anymore. If you check the samsung foruns, we're not the only one complaining. And you can't zoom now in 32 mp.

Hi There!

Android 10 fixed update arrived in more countris again security level april 1. Hungary, Netherlands etc
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] fizzingbees:
They can't seem to figure out their updates

Each update introducee a new issue while fixing previous ones.

Kinda makes me wish they didn't had so many lines in their portfolio. Maybe then the updates would be rolled swiftly without bugs
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Snoete:
Can you tell us which issue it fixed, and which it introduced ? Until now I noticed that battery life got a bit better but that could be my imagination. Further everything works fine.

Early updates fixed camera then messed up fingerprint scanner

Then they fixed FP scanner but messed up ability to root and keep root

Then they messed up charging pcb and revoked the whole firmware android 10

Then they fixed that and downgraded camera again.

And now report are coming they are gonna fix that in April updates. Let see what else they break now
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Snoete:
Ah, I thought you where writing about fixes and new problems with this last update.

Where did you read that the pcb problem got fixed with this last update,

nothing about improvement of the battery life ?

Is there a changelog on the Samsung website somewhere ?

How do you mean "fix that in

April

updates" ?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] fizzingbees:
Samfirmware website News article

Samsung used two pcb version/revisions in A70.

In the update they introduced earliest , the software didn't had support for older pcb version due to which the device failed to boot thinking battery is discharged.

They fixed this issue in the update they dispatched recently.

Even lineage OS 17.1 based on stock Android 10 has faster battery draining, so Samsung android 10 may have same mileage.

You can find the change log by googling the build number or see the change log on OTA update.

There wouldn't be any technical information, just adjectives and verbs to sugar coat things

The camera showing as 21mp instead of 32 MP. There is a report it will be fixed in April update

The main reason I'm sticking to Android 9 for now.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] elawure:
I think the battery drain thing is random. I don't have it here. I am on Android 10, with A70 Global version. Peace!
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] wastedagen:
Yeah you're probably right, but my other issue is also the camera. I think the camera with or without gcam, takes better pics on 9.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] elawure:
I am not sure of that! However,I have just noticed that the camera takes slightly better photos with the flash turned ON. I am not a photo guy anyway...

Suffice to say that I installed the update today.

It's still One UI 2.0. For me there is no lag, battery life has improved for me
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Awkydee:
Battery is great, about the same as 9. The noticable difference is the fingerprint scanner, it actually works! I'm glad I decided to upgrade. One UI 2.0 rooted/TWRP AND Google Pay works perfectly.

Then flashed Magisk normally through TWRP.

I did however find that I do not have the auto rotate feature working on my SM-A705MN with the Android 10 update. Worked on Pie and I even just downgraded to check and sure enough! Its not a hardware issue but a software. Thanks Samsung!!

today I got the new update. but battery drain is not fixed yet. also phone is laggy.

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] xoose:
My phone is from a different region so details will be slightly different, but all my version#'s end with BTF4 and I have no problems with battery or lag. So the source of your problems are probably related to whatever version your BTF1 is (baseband or build I guess?). Or it could be due to them all being mismatched versions for those last few characters at the end.

after wipe cache data, Now I can confirm the battery drain during the night is fixed with this update. last night battery percentage 69 and at the morning stay at the 69%

I am still using One ui 1, for safety, because I heard after One ui 2 update some Galaxy A70 had serious problems !! for this reason I didn't have the courage to update it in order not to lose performance (excessive battery consumption, system slowdown ....)

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] jdjta:
Newer update available for OXM multi-csc (My phone is PHN originally but now flashed SEK). Security patch is still 01-05 but changelist is a lot higher (16102559 vs 15930013 for the previous firmwares).

Downloaded (using Frija-downloader, available on XDA) and flashed using Odin and so far it seems the fingerprint scanner is finally working like it should. Much faster and far less "not recognized"- errors. The phone also feels more fluid using the menu's of the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] leonbarroso:

Worked well?

This is the absolute best video for sorting the fingerprint. No issues with mine whatsoever now. Really fast and accurate every time.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] reanimator69:
What I found regarding the fingerprint is that after the update doing a factory reset mine feels some much more accurate, yet still on the slow side. Not sure if it's just me or a placebo effect, but maybe someone else can confirm this as well.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Marcury:
Factory reset ! :(

I'll think about that, but it's too much work saving all my data...

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] wastedagen:
Just received my update last night in UK and still on May Security Patch with no noticeable difference in touch screen. Not that I had any issues on the last update to be honest.

The fingerprint sensor is still utter garbage so thats turned off and unfortunately no dedicated Camera night mode. Which I was hoping for since the A50 got it in its latest update....

I did reset the camera app settings to see if it would appear, as that's what you had to do on the A50 for night mode to appear. But nope didn't work.

I'm personally not gonna do a factory reset either to see if it fixes my fingerprint issues. Definitely not worth the gamble.

Oh well heres waiting for the next update. View attachment 4792832

The fingerprint still has the occasional bad moment but in general it is satisfactory. Not enthusiastic about it but it does the job on the whole now.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] 106IFA:
I just received the next update. The fingerprint reader is much better. In fact, the animation changed from a gentle swirly white ripple, to a green wave. Much more energetic and it seems to work a lot better now.

Camera ... in 4:3h, the resolution is still bad, despite the high mb size of the files, but there's a "full" now that seems to take OK pics. NOt sure. In video, there's a "super steady" mode that adds a lot of stabilization. seems to be a good feature. Not sure if it was there before.

My LTE signal strength still sucks balls

and auto focus is the worse like in ANY camera i have ever seen, mobile phone or not...AF is pathetic beyond my imagination...i like the phone but because of camera this is probably my last samsung phone ever...and in typical samsung fashion i've expected some a70s or such new model with better cam which only will add insult to injury....

Anyone now got an issue with the recents/app switcher screen? This worked great before. I'm using the Samsung gestures with the 3 thin guide buttons at the bottom. A flick up on the right hand one showed me all the recent/running apps. A swipe from middle to right switched to the last used app. Now a swipe up shows a small single screen of the running app which I can do nothing with - I have to then swipe on home to get out of it. Middle to right swipe gesture does nothing. Any idea what's happened?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] Tactman:
no, it's just THAT bad....
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Guides, News, & Discussion] James.Miller:
No, I'm telling you theres something wrong with it as I manage fine. It's not a perfect camera, however if you cant pull of a shot in focus the you have a problem. Especially if you think the AF is the worst you've ever seen - theres not a single review out there that would agree with that. If it's as bad as you say it is, it's broken.

I downloaded using the Frija-tool: https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s9/how-to/tool-frija-samsung-firmware-downloader-t3910584 (MEGA mirror) and flashed it with ODIN 3.13.1 .
