[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] kruc Ire:
I like it. it's not perfect but it has better native apps than most phones I've owned.

fingerprint sensor is nearly impossible to get to work

but the phone has a night mode for its settings. has a great onboard keyboard. it has its own app store, theme store.

File explorer is very usable. I'm off 3rd party apps for the most part.

The music app is super fast to load the artworks. Sees most artworks. takes 48 hours but indexed my 300GB music and loads entire list (all have artworks) in real time. Really imperfect but very fast, great music app by Samsung.

Then there is the RAM Memory optimizer under settings; device care; then memory button. On other phones I have had lately, this can take a long time. Have to go in apps in settings and do each one individually.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] 106IFA:
My phone gets 1 bar of signal strength less than my other phones but despite that I love this phone.

Fingerprint reader performance is livable. (A sweaty thumb on glossy glass is prone to cause difficulties with finger print reading, even on Iphones. So I can deal with it. - Try storing fingerprint data with a wet finger? Seems to have helped.)

The camera with the G-cam app is very good, and even so I still find myself using the Samsung camera app more often for its features and the polish of the app. - The panoramic shot is a full 360 degrees and better than my Iphone7. I like the hyperlapse and slowmotion. HOwever, this phone is definitely not a camera phone and won't take steady videos.

The native file explorer app and video player app are great.

The 20:9 aspect ratio is perfect for phones. You get so much usable real estate and yet a slimmer form factor that is much more practical for one handed use and for keeping in your pockets.

I love the ONE UI interface. I have it navigation bar set to invisble and I'm using gestures.

Compared to my previous phone it's thinner as well and feels great. It does not feel like a cheap phone at all. It feels solid and well produced.

I have the one in white. Paid $370 for it.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] deloj:
I got the samsung a70. I like the phone's 6.7 inch display. But the aspect ratio makes it a bit narrow. That's why I'm thinking about getting the huawei mate 20x which has a 7.2 inch screen. Do you think I should stay with this phone or buy the mate 20x?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SniperLolz:
Register 3 fingerprints of the same finger and it'll work seamlessly.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] kruc Ire:
ok. I may try that. I have already but for some reason I deleted the first two or three, hoping one clear one.

Hey look at this RAM management screenshot. Whisked away Youtube's 150MB mess and a bunch of others.

Which one shuld i buy?

I am dueling between the A70 and the Mi9T, what made you change and how has been your experience with Mi 9T compared to the A70?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] alsartawi:
the only thing better in a70 is the battery and a little bit the screen colors "but with ugly notch"... as for performance, camera..etc the mi9t is a superb phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] 106IFA:
Seems like the Mi9T doesn't have an SD slot?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Awangarde:
I have my A70 for a good amount of time to speak about it.

I really like the device. It's fast, reliable and it was a surprise to me that it can hold two sim cards and a microSD card at first. I remember that I was astornished by it's beautiful, shiny back, but that's a personal prefference. I only found 3 problems with this phone that gladly doesn't bother me that much.

Starting with the back, it's really, REALLY easy to scratch it. Mine, even if it was in the case, have some scuffs on the back. It's plastic, not as much resistable as the glass is, but I was aware of that when I was buying it. Kinda shame.

Secondly, the bezels are very small and I have big hands so sometinmes I touch the screen when I don't want to or being aware of. A bigger case like one of those armor cases should fix my issue, but that adds to the size of the phone which, I am not sure if I want right now.

Lastly, the cursed fingerprint scanner. It doesn't work all the times, but the updates seems to give it a bit of speed and accuracy, failed attempts to read out the fingerprint significantly decreases.

Overall. I think the phone is worth the money but again, that's my perspective.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] deloj:
I own the a70. But I'm thinking of switching to the huawei mate 20x which has a 7.2 inch screen. Do you think its worth buying the mate 20x and selling the a70 for half an inch inch difference in screen size?

.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] devilhunter47:
3 months since I bought this awesome phone. I have no regrets. Biggest pros are 2 sim + sd card simultaneously and the huge 4500 mah battery
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] deloj:
Would you switch to the huawei mate 20x though? I got the a70. But it feels small to Mr. While the mate 20x looks and feels big. Would you switch to the 20x if you had to choose between the 2?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Awangarde:
I don't know. I never had the Huawei in my hand.

What I can say is that A70 is a solid device
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] senseijtitus:
Definitely not. Huawei is a difficult device when it comes to developer support.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] vash_h:
ok guys.. i am considering getting this phone but i have a few concerns.. hopefully u guys can help me out.

background information:

I am currently on the Samsung Galaxy Note 8 dual sim, and i need to use dual sim and a micro sd card so i used a sim adapter.

Something like this. (https://www.flipkart.com/dm-nano-sim-adapter/p/itmewhhyr6sb3tqm)

it worked fine until samsung released Android 9 update with One UI, that added a restriction to it. SIM2 will be disabled when the phone detects the microSD card. WTF man.. i couldnt get it to work and finally flashed in a custom rom that bypassed the checking, with Root (Magisk) and it works great, for now.

Then recently i went to philippines.. got myself a local sim card.. then the local simcard seller asked for my phone, and ripped the phone out of my casing (Spigen Rugged Armor) and literally ripped the simcard adapter apart.. then i had to choose between 2 sim cards or 1 simcard and 1 sd card. And i need them both.

now, my phone contract is due and will be signing on a new contract automatically next month.. i am ditching flagship phones as i want a phone that has dual sim AND a dedicated sd card slot. And the A70 came up shortlisted.

ok, now for my question.

I use BT very frequently on my daily commutes to work (Playing Spotify via BT Car Audio) and when i fly overseas for work, spotify via BT earphones.

Note 8 has a really neat feature, The Adapt Sound. It can create different sound profiles for use on different audio devices. For example, when im home i switch to the profile i created for my car.. when i am flying i switch to the profile for the BT earphones. The sound profile is generated after a series of beeping sound of various frequency on left or right channels with you needing to select YES/NO.. YES if you can hear it.

this creates a very very good sound profile and makes a regular earphone/audio device awesome and customized to my ears.

The setting is at Settings->Sounds and Vibration->Advanced Sound Settings -> Sound Quality and Effects -> Adapt Sound.

Does A70 have this as well?

Next, does this phone have wireless charging as well? doesnt seem to be mentioned.. (most likely NO if it is not mentioned, but best to ask for confirmation from real users of the phone).

This is mainly my concern. i love photos as well and take LOTS of photos and i know the camera on the A70 can never win over note 8.. but its a trade off and something i will just have to live with..
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] y.erenbektas:
Adapt sound does exist in A70. Wireless Charging is not supported but if you really need that future, there are adapters, I didn't try but people say it works. Also camera performance, exactly can never win over note 8 but that doesn't mean it's bad. And it's a brand new which hasn't got many updates yet. So I believe, camera performance will be improved in future updates.

There are photos taken by A70 on this page: https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_a70-review-1936p5.php
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Sreedev the bro:
The A70 also has Dolby Atmos enhancements for wired and wireless devices.

Also the body is plastic so no wireless charging.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] vash_h:
Thanks.. My custom rom on note 8 comes with dolby atmos as well. It's different in the effect it has..

---------- Post added at 01:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:01 PM ----------

Awesome.this is what I need. Ok I have decided to pick this phone for my next phone.

I'm starting away from flagship for now. Until they realize some ppl like me needs both sim cards and the sdcard slot.. And is not willing to fork out the insane amount of cash required to get the 512gb variants..

Besides, having less sensors and features coupled with larger battery should mean I don't really need to carry my 20k power bank and 10k power bank everywhere I go..
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] y.erenbektas:
If you decided to buy this device, my only suggestion will be buying a phone case and a screen protector.

Back of the device is not metal or glass, it is something like glass&plastic mix. Samsung calls it glasstic. It is actually better because it doesn't crack like glass back panels. But after few weeks you will notice micro scratches if you don't use a case.

Main screen is protected with Gorilla Glass 3, not strong as GG6. You may see micro scratches here too after a while if you drop the phone etc. That's the reason I recommend a screen protector.

AND MOST IMPORTANT PART FOR YOU!

A70 has two options about Sim support, be sure that you are buying the one with two sim slots.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] krappo:
One month old and really enjoying this phone :)
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] James.Miller:
The back is just plastic that looks like glass. Better impact absorbance than glass but softer so more susceptible to scratches.

GG3 has broadly the same scratch resistance as GG4 TO GG6, but it isnt as strong and is more susceptible to drop damage. Either way, your conclusion is right - a screen protector is a good idea.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Ravetcofx:
I was sad I'll see the updates are slow on this because there's no a/b partitioning especially since there's 120 gigs of storage.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] deloj:
Its not bad. The phone is one of the best in the world now. I'd say top 5 in the world given price and functions. It def beats many flagships.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SniperLolz:
Yeah, right.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] psygnosi:
It's a excellent phone. Im using the 8g/128gb Hongkong version(A7050).I used to have the Huawei mate 20x and switched to this. I like this phone better. The one glaring problem you will have with the mate 20x is you are stuck with their os launcher. I'm not sure if it's been fixed but I didn't want to wait. My two cents. But now you have another better alternative in the samsung a90 5g. Check the specs on this new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
You must have bought a Chinese mate 20x, because the global model you can change the launcher.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] deloj:
I agree with Limeybastard. Its likely you had the chinese version of the mate 20x. Global versions can use launchers.

I bet if you hadnt had the issue you'd be rocking the mate 20x instead of the a70. Am I wrong?

.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] psygnosi:
No I think I just got bored with it. I had both the Chinese A00 as well as the L29 model. I myself didn't have any problems with the two models. I've had them both since release and I wanted to try something new. Also I got my money back due to the Huawei ban. I work for the government so samsung is safe for me to use at work. My opinion and preference. I go thru phones alot since I sell them to my co workers.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] SuperDroid519:
I love this phone do far except the issue with rooting. There isnt a solid reliable way yet unfortunately. Unless I'm missing something.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Techngro:
The one issue that keeps me from recommending this phone is, and I'm sure you've heard this before, the screen.

The funny thing is, I always do research before I buy devices and I knew about the fingerprint issue. But I didn't realize just how aggravating it would be until I used the device on a daily basis. I'm headed to the bus stop and wanting to check the bus arrival app so I don't miss it. But I keep pressing my thumb and...nothing. Having to press, press, press and then finally give up and wake the device and enter a pin is super annoying.

I have no other gripes about the phone. But I don't think I'll ever buy another in-screen fingerprint phone again.

[Huawei Ascend XT Questions & Answers] Lennvy:
I just purchased a used Huawei Ascend XT (H1611), and am trying to get it to work with my sim card (Life Wireless). I applied on AT&T official site and it was approved and within a few hours I received my unlock code. Next step was to power off the phone, enter my sim card and turn the phone back on so the unlock code screen would come up. I did and the unlock screen comes up as expected but I am unsure if it is the correct screen. I enter my unlock code provided by AT&T and it says it failed.

One thing I noticed is that instead of 'Unlock' code, it says 'Unblock' code. Not sure if there is a difference but obviously something is awry.

Any help would be appreciated greatly. Thanks in advance.
[OnePlus 7 Pro Accessories] whisky_:
Hi everyone,

Just ordered myself a 256gb Neblue Blue OnePlus 7 Pro. Are there any full body cases that would help against drops? I'd like to have a clear back so the blue is visible but equally protected. I looked at some of the magnetic cases on ALiExpress and was wondering if anyone has any other recommendations to achieve a similar look with good protection in case of a drop or another event?

Problem with these cases is I'm not sure if the case will absorb a shock and if the fingerprint reader will work as intended.

THIS HELPED ME TO GET MY ORIGIN DATA BACK FROM "DEAD" PHONE

Hello,

I clicked Fb, my nexus froze and screen went to black. Unable to start it again.

What I tried but it did

not

help

- pressing Power Button, or Power Button with Volume up or Volume Down from few seconds - till 15 min

- device not visible by ADB or Fastboot.

- connected to PC - I heard the sound like something connected to USB - some drivers were installed.

In device manager I saw my mobile was in old EDL mode: Qualcomm hs-usb qdloader 9008 (COM3)

(if you see only unknown device in device manager, right click on it and choose update driver)

Unable to exit the EDL Mode

- unable to get int TWRP recovery

- disassembly of the phone, removing the battery for 12 hours/over the night

- replacement of the battery, new one installed

What helped me:

- complete disassembly of the mobile phone. (when opening the case, use razor blade. It is metal and super thin). I kept the battery, I needed only the motherboard

- removed the motherboard, removed the "EMI shield lid" from processor and RAM, see picture.

- hot gun - I applied hot air on the chips in RED. Dont ask me for temperature, my hot air gun has only O-1-2. I used 1 for about 2-3 minutes. Only on the chips, not little SMD capacitors!

- let cool it down. Put all parts together with origin battery (without back metal case) and press the Power button. Wau! My phone started like a normal phone, loaded android, my profile. The phone worked as usual. Quickly I downloaded all pictures, data.

[IMG="Nexus 6P Motherboard Picture"]https://i.imgur.com/4qWyQxP.png[/IMG]

Obviously, you can quit EDL mode by heating the chips. You can boot the phone, android and backup all your datas.

Hopefully it helps you, too.

In the past i flashed custom roms on few phones, but Mi A2 Lite is my first phone with A/B partition and with GSI ability.

1. There is any particular changes in flashing procedure in comparision to, for eg. my previous phone Redmi 3S? (fastboot oem unlock, fastboot flash recovery, install rom in TWRP and voila),

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] Alex4455:
Hello everyone,

I've been thinking and closely watching the evolution of this phone... As things stand, i don't see any interest from devs in Red Magic 3

Im thinking in selling the phone before it starts to loose its value

What are your thoughts ?
[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] dlads:
Before you get a device, look at their previous history on xda, namely development , previous Nubia red devices didn't get a lot of love.. Most people jumped on OnePlus and pixel, or even the Poco.

I believe there will be ROMs but there don't be a huge amount and little problems that require a lot of work will probably remain.

Great device but not a lot of Devs will dive in I don't think..

Hopefully it'll explode and there will be tonnes of ROMs but I doubt it unfortunately.

Saying that, what about GSI's? Is it treble compatible? They could be your saving grace.

It's a gamble.

[Nubia Red Magic 3 Questions & Answers] dlads:
Yea potentially, if twrp isn't capable of wiping. Then you'll need to do the following.

Make a back up to your computer !!!!

Also if decryption isn't working.

Install twrp.

Push or copy the ROM to the phone .

Root of SD if you can read it.

If you can't decrypt then push to /tmp

Wipe anyway in twrp and then flash the ROM. (GSI IMG)

Then flash the stock recovery and wipe / factory reset in stock recovery.

Boot the IMG, if it doesn't boot after the stock wipe, flash twrp and push / copy the ROM to SD / /tmp

Then flash , it should boot.
