[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] gerhard_wa:
It is possible to retrieve files that are deleted, but this is much less likely to succeed the longer time has passed since the system may already has begun using parts of the space that contain the pictures. So try to use the phone as little as possible until you do try to recover the files.
[Xiaomi Mi 9 Questions & Answers] jetsetwilly:
Yeah, it's not looking good. I think it was a combination of updating GCam and using clean-up. The various recovery software I've used tends to get lower quality versions with lots still missing and pictures which I've never even had on this phone. Pretty gutted at this stage as it's looking like I've lost pictures of my 4 year old I'll never see again.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] jawdoc:
Hello All...

So I bought an unlocked S10 Plus and put my SIM card in it from my a failing S8 Plus.

All is well except the Number Sync with my Galaxy S3 Watch will not work.

Doing a little research, it looks like I need to do an ATT firmware flash to get this to work.

Where can I find the files and the steps to get this done?

My model for this phone is a SM-G975U1

Any help is greatly appreciated!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] Jdg77469:
I need this to be done as well. I can't post for some reason. I am willing to pay.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] whitedragon551:
My galaxy watch would normally get 3-4 days of battery life. After this latest patch, I get 2 if Im lucky. Currently running 18 hours on my latest charge, Ive dropped from 100 to 52%. Battery history shows the watch face consuming most of it. The watch face Im using is dark, no light features. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] nemosandman:
Second party watchface battery draining can come from many factors and in your case, you should first go back to a simple Samsung OEM WF to check if it is the culprit and also the AOD.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] vojopd:
No problems here. BT version. Every day using shealth for workout. Without it 6 days.View attachment 4787623
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] galaxys:
I turned off Location, and had a big battery improvement...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] whitedragon551:
I do not use AOD. However, Facer does appear to be the culprit. Removing it my battery life is now 4-5 days.

Any other watch face apps that I should consider that are better on battery life?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] whitedragon551:
Never had it turned on.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] arokace:
Just try different ones is all I can say. I imagine that that drain issue isn't gonna be common with other faces since you said it only started happening after an update of the watch face (so it might actually get fixed soon). I use Dashboard that came with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] TheKaser:
I believe I fixed the battery of my watch by denying the Galaxy Wear app to run in the background. No loss of functionality, it just keeps asking to allow it every time I open the app.
[Shift Development] pitt1983:
nothing about 2gb ram? i think that with vista we need it!
[Shift Development] YannR:
The Micro-DIMM manufacturer (Qimonda) doesn't have 2GB model available yet. There are some threads about this topic. Go for search. ;)

But I definitely agree with you regarding Vista minimum requirements for usability...
[Shift Development] JEM:
Definitely 2GB+ is needed. I've searched exhaustively and not found a suitable memory upgrade. Given the recent considerations against 8mm HDDs, the current lack of availabilty of bigger RAM (and if/when it does come out, it will likely be very expensive), and the general desire for longer battery and better performance, a 64GB SSD (even at $1000) is starting to look very attractive to me. I guess I need to get busy selling my superceded electronics on ebay to offset the $$$.
[Shift Development] CAVADIAS:
I have upgraded mine to 64gb SSD. (got it off my portege r500) and swapped them. Now it works great no lags, and 3 seconds 2007 word opening. I highly suggest the ssd solution. it really make it usable, like using it with XP...
[Shift Development] JEM:
How much page file did you set up? Any perceived improvement in battery life?
[Shift Development] YannR:
Very interesting...

Which SSD drive did you use (brand/model) ?

(Toshiba 8mm HDD being definitely too thick for Shift casing... and slow)
[Shift Development] JEM:
FYI. Don't know if you've heard about the new intel SSDs due out in Q3. They will have a 1.8" with 80GB and later 120GB. These, and other larger drives from other manufacturers, will likely devalue current 64GB SSDs by half. Personally, I think I'll wait. I don't have $500 to flush down the toilet right now...
[Shift Development] Pfeffa-rah:
Well... eh.... I do....

What brand and model? and where can I get it? and does it improve battery time?
[Shift Development] barenbaren:
SSD Reliability ?

I had always thought SSD were SO much more reliable that regular hard drives, but today saw this article:

One-in-four-SSD-based-laptops-fail

Any comments? User experience.

I;m debating whether to void mu Shift warranty by upgrading to SSD and or 2GB DDr sometime near end of this year or so.

But really think I should wait until the next generation Shift, then tinker with my "old" 9501.

Add to wish list for new model:

Auto detect porttait/landscape rotation

Make cell calls (of course)
[Shift Development] skin57:
Unfortunatly, basically all new SSD's that we'll see this yeah on the market will have an SATA interface - especially those with a really good perfomance (as the perfomance improvements comes from the Flash controllers... and nobody will spend big money on that PATA stuff anymore, as it's really an dying technologoy). So, while the currently available SDDs might become cheaper over the time, we won't see that much new (bigger, cheaper, faster) SDDs from now on. Especially not with that funny ZIF connector the SHIFT needs...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] drickles:
I recently installed a custom recovery on my exynos s9+ on stock pie. I actually thought unlocking oem and installing a custom recovery + root would trip Knox and prevent me from getting any updates but it didn't. Was roaming on my phone today and somehow found myself in the phone update menu. I tapped on check for updates and low and behold I could download an update. My problem is now that I'm on a custom recovery how would any update i download even manage to install? And even if it does is there a possibility that it might cause troubles like re-enabling dm-verity lock and bricking my phone? I wanna know what might happen if I proceed to download and install that OTA update.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] scottusa2008:
Personally I would not do the OTA as it may not update properly (if even at all). Every phone I have rooted before this was one of the cautions usually posted... I would double check in what ever tutorial, thread, utility faq you used to make sure.

I would suggest you wait for an update to be made that is flashable with your custom recovery. If your custom recovery has the feature (like TWRP) make a backup of what you have installed, flash the update and if things don't work you can restore your backup.

I miss having that kind of backup/restore ability via custom recovery on my phone.. sure comes in handy when things go sideways
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] kykint:
Nothing happens. According to my experience and contents in the OTA zip, twrp will simply just spit it out. No dm-verity re-lock or bricking too.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] dedq:
You can always download one of the custom systems which are regularly updated.

Example would be Soldier ROM.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] StonebridgeGr:
I recommend find your new firmware and flash it. You will lose all of your file and root-recovery you can have them all back

Here:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79846281&postcount=66

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=79511812&postcount=127

But without luck, can someone guide me on what to do please?

Currently I have:

- PDA = G950FXXS5DSF1

- CSC=G950FOXM5DSF1

- OXM_ROM

- unrooted, unlocked, warranty not void

- exyno cpu

*I`ve attached some screens with what I have

I still did not understood all the steps from https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-8/how-to/pie-call-recording-wip-t3905737

I`ve downloaded from sammobile G950FXXS5DSF1_G950FOXM5DSF1_ROM.zip file with what I have currently, the zip contains the files:

AP_G950FXXS5DSF1_CL16019454_QB24073188_REV00_user_ low_ship_meta_OS9.tar

What I do not find is combination files for this PDA, on this link https://www.hardreset.info/articles/samsung-combination-firmware/ I can only see U4 bootloader version and I am not able to find anywhere on the internet the latest combination of files, can I generate this by myself so I can proceed to the change CSC step? Or what should be the solution?

What I found is https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-note-9/how-to/how-to-make-combination-file-samsung-t3861381 to create the combination files, but it does not help.

Also the step where I install the firmware after the CSC is changed. I am not able to find INS or THL version of my bootloader v5

What I found on for INS on:

https://www.sammobile.com

http://updato.com

G950FXXS4CRLB_G950FOXM4CRL1_INS.zip

G950FXXU4CRL3_G950FOXM4CRL1_INS.zip

Not 100% sure if I should flash one of these as I see it has different bootloader..

Can I flash the G950FXXS5DSF1_G950FOXM5DSF1_ROM.zip back after the CSC change to INS and I should get an OTA update with android pie from india?

Hello, thank you for the message.

It is the only method for me to buy the THL sim card? ( I`m asking because it takes 1 month to arrive :( )

I`ve read over the link you provided, and found a link related to how-to-change-csc-in-samsung-galaxy-phones/ ( I can not post the link here it seems XDA override the link )

I`ve checked I have the OXM firmware, so I`ve tried to use the dialing code for changing CSC:

==================

Open your phone’s dialer and type the following code with your device IMEI number: *#272*IMEI number# (replace the red text with your device’s IMEI number).

==================

But I get

"connection problem or invalid mmi code"

*also checked the preconfig.apk is not in /system/app/

:(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rilley:
Should I flash?

COMBINATION_FA70_G950FXXU4ARI1_CL12792727_QB19841686_REV00_user_mid_noship.tar.md5.zip

Or I can get bricked because I have U5 and the file is U4 bootloader..? In case of brick flashing stock firmware fixes the issues to get back to normal?

Or I should downgrade the bootloader from u5 to u4? if that is possible, and then flash the U4 found combination of files?

Any of this without tripping knox
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] rilley:
I guess the only solution is with sim or wait if someone release combination of files with V5 bootloader version for my stock rom? and also maybe to have the stock INS for V5?

[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] PitbullKemo:
My Moto G6 play was a great phone until a few mins ago the screen was nice and bright then all of a sudden my screen wouldn't turn on, or anything for that matter. So I plugged it in to see if it had died, the only thing I got it to do was blink a white led at me.then all of a sudden the screen came on but the only way I can see it is too take it into a pitch black room and the brightness is set at 100%. What can I do?
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] ninjakira:
Sounds like you have auto brightness on. Just go into the settings and display and look for the option to turn of autobrighness then set the brightness to your desired one
[Moto G6 Play Questions & Answers] PitbullKemo:
Okay but how is the auto brightness going to affect when the phone is shut off and then turn back on the brightness doesn't change it stays at like pretty much 0%

I just checked and I turned it adaptive brightness on and it didn't get no Rider it stayed right where it was at

[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] tobago_88:
I was looking to get it from Samsung. com and wanted to make sure if it will work fine (all the bands) on T-Mobile. I checked with Verizon and they said I wouldn't have to unlock it and it should be already unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] moku160:
My verizon version arrived today and I want to use it on Cricket. Fist boot looks positive showing LTE and 3 bars, but halfway through initial setup LTE disappears and prompt shows that alternate SIMS cannot be used at this time. From the little I have researched looks like since a few months ago Verizon phones no longer come unlocked out of box and require you to activate on their network. Upon activation the phone should automatically be unlocked within 48 hours.

I jumped on xda to see if there was an unlocked firmware i can flash to avoid that, and if I find something... if i dont update it means I never did and probably asked a family member whose on Verizon to use my phone for a few days until its unlocked.

*update/edit*

Just to clarify, my first boot had an alternate sim in(Mint mobile). Next boot I tried with the provided Verizon sim, and got through the initial setup screens choosing to skip the Verizon account setup. Then tried switching the sims, which prompted me to restart. Upon restart I again see LTE and 3 bars while booting. Once booting is complete I see the gray antenna mark with the "x" again. So still no good. Havent seen a release of an unlocked firmware yet, except for one paid service ($4). Not willing to pay for something that should be free... yet. SO I will keep looking
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] undertaker2k14:
Similar issue, did you ever find a solution? Third party unlocks via ebay also do not support the Verizon or Sprint version it seems.
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] moku160:
Ended up biting the bullet and paying for a month, but its prorated so I figure should get 90% of the money back -$20 fee for opening the line. Also rakuten has $75 cashback for opening a new verizon line. So not too bad. Might even make money in the end.

Anyway here is my process:

1. Get a plan - $55 single device plan is the cheapest you can get

2. Stick sim in and it will activate fairly quickly (less than 10 minutes, likely less that 5)

3. Wait 12-24 hours. Might not be necessary but I did this anyway

3. Create Verizon online account and login

4. Chat with agent and ask them to unlock the phone (do not call, it takes longer and they are worthless)

I did this, and immediately swapped out the sim and put it in another Verizon A50 bought from samsung and it quickly activated, Waited 12 hours and chatted with another agent. Now I have two unlocked, and if I get that $75 cashback the cost will be under $15.

($55 + $20 activation fee + tax = ~$90) - $75 cashback = $15 + prorated return on the $55
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] undertaker2k14:
Thanks, may try that if flashing to the canadian version A-505W fails. Usually Canadian and US samsung phones are the same hardware and firmware compatible. This seems more like a software lock on Verizon firmware than a true SIM lock as those would not register any signal from a different provider for any length of time (which these do) and ask for an unlock code which in the case of these is no where to be found or entered.

Would activating on a prepaid Verizon plan works or does it have to be post pay?
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
lol i dont think u will get an "unlocked" firmware on the A50 since it is a exynos chipset and the "unlocked" firmware you speak of assuming you mean U1 firmware ive only ever seen on qualcomm..

to add, it sounds like ur device is probably unlocked but u need to set the apns and network mode.. vzw typically uses LTE/CDMA/UMTS or something rather whereas tmo uses GSM n other modes..

on my A10e from tmo it works with vzw and tmo and spr etc etc but usually i need to play with the modes and apns to get it just right..

to add, if it was still locked itd tell you.. usually something about using a non vzw sim or simply say the device is locked etc etc
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
correct.. wat ppl r describing in here seems to me the devices r unlocked lol.. wat i noticed on my tmo a10e is that it seems the carrier configs are not switching over properly at times so it might seem like its locked but it isnt..

then again my tmo a10e is sim/carrier locked.. chimera tool is pretty good.. they have a paid feature they recently added called carrier relock.. instead of unlocking the sim they lock the device to up to 64 carriers which works the same as a sim unlock without actually sim unlocking lol.. quite clever i must say..

i get a vzw a50 tomorrow and will b testing it out on tmo and will try to remember to report back here..
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] elliwigy:
id research that if i were u.. go to vzw site and view the device unlock policy.. sometimes prepaid has different policies.. if its purchased for vzw postpaid then might need to b activated on postpaid.. prepaid might require a longer timeframe possibly as most prepaid carriers have a time frame such as 50 days or somethin
[Samsung Galaxy A50 Questions & Answers] romeo0119:
Yea seems like it’s 60 days for prepaid, I might just open a line and cancel after a month.
