[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] gingi999:
I am interested in ordering this tablet. I was wondering if any of you have tried Microsoft Remote Desktop in Dex mode. My question is does right-clicking work? If it does I will be a very happy man.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S4 Questions & Answers] jimscard:
Hi,

Yes, right-clicking, either with a mouse, or by long-tapping, works fine in the Microsoft RD Client app on Dex. I use it all the time to administer my servers & use my desktop computer from another room.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] adygadam:
dear community :)

I bought a new S10 plus from a Hong Kong seller online, I had the initial screen greeting in traditional Chinese where I used my other phone to translate and chose English language (noticed that the device is probably a Taiwanese version)

First few hours were fine until June 2019 was installed.

Random unresponsiveness and strange behavior (Android status bar will pull down on its own, back and home virtual buttons do not work all the time, non responsive touch screen) This will go away if I lock then unlock and will come back again or sometimes not.

This became an annoyance as it will randomly either make the screen unresponsive or ultra responsive repeating my single touch commands which is a real pain, I hope you get the picture?

I decided to do a RESET, this all went well until it rebooted to a screen where it said something in traditional Chinese and a tick next to SIM1 (I forgot my UK sim card inside) so I clicked on next

it then rebooted and with a greeting in English!

here I went through the setting up and the wireless then it could not connect to Google (how bizarre)

I had to switch off Wifi to be able to get to final home screen, then I switched Wifi back on

Google services were installed however I was unable to add my Google account

also, the random unresponsiveness came back

I tried to hard reset, now without the sim card, same as above I could not add a Google account it does time out....

I can open a browser and open web pages no problem so there is internet connection

my main problem is that the device is not working properly and I cannot add a Google account :confused:

researched the forum and I though I might give it a try and re flash official firmware.

I made short videos of this strange behavior of the phone, where I will post them if needed.

My questions are :

would flashing an official firmware solve my problem?

which version I should flash, BRI (Taiwanese) or XEU (UK EU) ?

here is my SW ver.

SAOMC_SM-F975F_OXM_XEU_PP_0018

R58M36793AR

XEU/XEU,BRI/BRI

Many thanks for your advise!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] adygadam:
Update:

I have flashed the OXM XEU version from this thread:

https://xdaforums.com/s10-plus/how-to/asba-official-stock-fw-update-odin-t3908710

Resolved:

I can now add a Google account, the problem was that I have to insert my SIM in order for this to work

Main problem:

random issues with screen and weird behavior: as I mentioned before, I get multiple registers for one touch which is extremely annoying when trying the simplest of text typing including typing wrong passwords!

the status bar is another annoyance which will drop down randomly and unexpectedly

current version:

G975FXXU2ASF3/G975FOXM2ASF3/G975FXXU2aASF3

SW ver.

SAOMC_SM-G975F_OXM_XEU_PP_0018

R58M36793AR

XEU/XEU,XEU/BRI

any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ExtremeGrief:
From the CSC OMC file of the UK rom get the .pit file via WinRAR.In odin put AP in AP slot,BL in BL slot,CP in CP slot and CSC in CSC slot(CSC not Homr_CSC).In pit section of Odin put the file which you got there.P.s. Use PatcheD Odin by 3B.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] adygadam:
Hi ExtremeGrief

I did exactly what you suggested, used patched Odin by 3B from here and did extract the .pit file which in the ROM I chose reads:

BEYOND2LTE_EUR_OPEN.pit

ROM was loaded in 05:49 min/sec, however I still have the 2 issues:

1-upon fresh reset of android first setup screens will not progress to home screen unless I disable wifi (it will get stuck forever in the Checking Info screen), also I have to insert my SIM in order for me to add a Google account which is mad. so in the future if I sell my phone the next person will have hard time figuring out why they cant add google account!

2-crazy randomly popping up android status bar is back alongside with the unresponsive screen where it will get fix temporarily by pressing power button to lock then unlock, overall operation of the phone is a pain with constant random touch freezes

any other ideas on what is happening with this phone, is it hardware or software related?

shall I start RMA with the seller or try other fixes?

Are u charging ur mobile while using it??? When these touches appear?? Are you using a genuine charger... Dial *#0*# and go to touch from the menu... Swipe your finger through all the zones to check if touch panel is okay
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] adygadam:
no, I am not charging it while using it and the charger is a genuine one, I usually use wireless charging for my phones.

These random glitches in the status bar and unresponsive screen touch are random but they are noticeable and I have recorded a video of this strange behavior.

Now using this GSM test screen, there are no issues with the panel, all is registering okay and the weird part that the status bar is not acting crazy or showing up, also back/home buttons are working perfectly in this mode

any other ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] adygadam:
here are links for some videos I made to show the issues:

unresponsive screen video1

unresponsive screen video2

Status bar drops on its own!

these links are available for 6 days, I will refresh the links if necessary
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ExtremeGrief:
Hi,next time you respond to my replies just quote me.Try to make the same thing that I told you to do before,but this time in Options tab in Odin 3B select:Nand Erase All,Auto Reboot and F.Reset Time.If this dors not work then it is a hardware problem but try this anyway.Maybe the seller that you bought the phone from put some malicious software on a hidden partition of the phone.Nand erase all wipes EVERY partition and writes it again.Hope this helps!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] adygadam:
I did exactly what you suggested, so far so good.

I had to disable wifi to get to home screen then I re-enabled it, it did update all Google services.

my only problem now is that with the phone without a SIM, I cannot add Google account! it is stuck in the "Checking Info" screen.

any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ExtremeGrief:
Then its a hardware problem.Sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ramnkc:
Did your try clearing your cache? Normally if your had reset then you won't have to do this... But try it and see.... Shutdown your phone then pressing bixby button + vol up + power until u see recovery then clear cache.

If it's still can't resolve then get help from samsung service center.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] adygadam:
thank you for trying to help me.

this is the weirdest issue I had so far with any phone! seems that getting phones from another region and specially China is a journey into a dark tunnel!

I thought the same as you, maybe a malicious software, the phone was spanking new and it was sealed with a guarantee sticker, mind you if they can clone entire buildings they can do anything.

I have started an RMA process with the seller, whats funny is that their T&C state that they reserve the right to not honor the claim if its a firmware issue etc plus they would charge 10% off price for restocking fees.

Any other ideas from anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] adygadam:
Hi,

yes I did the following since I had the problems:

reset settings

wipe cache

hard reset

reflash with Odin

reflash with 3B Odin

reflash with 3B Odin plus erase Nand

and now I just tried wipe cache

still cant add Google account, and also I noticed this status bar drop down quickly issue occur just once for now!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] ramnkc:
Then probably need to make a trip down to samsung service center then.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] adygadam:
I just called the service centre near to my city in the UK, basically what he said is that I can bring the phone for them to have a look at however it being made for another region (Hong Kong/Taiwan whatever) then the software he said or parts required are difficult to get hold of and he advised me to contact the seller.

he said that probably I locked the device by mistake if I cannot add Google account.

I am going to visit them (1:30 hour drive) now to see what they can make off it.

not sure what happened nor why this all happening, for my phone software is black magic, I can happily do tinker with PCs etc and even do some basic Linux etc, I am not entirely sure what is making this phone locked and how to get rid of this or even find out if any of the hardware elements is faulty.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] adygadam:
latest update:

I spent 3 hours round trip by car and got to the official Samsung service centre, they checked my phone and said that it is very likely the phone is genuine (not sure why they are not 100% sure) and it is designated as shipping country: Taiwan with a model of SM-G975FCKGBRI, however the product date is 1/9/2015! compared to my aging genuine UK version S7 Edge which has a product date of 1/2/2016

when I said that the phone was new in case with a warranty sticker, he said that anyone can do this including Samsung where they refurbish phones and reseal them and apply the special silver warranty sticker and goes back into sale!

upon inspection he confirmed that the right middle section of the touch screen is faulty

what is more bizarre is that he managed to log into google using their wifi connection no problem.

lastly, he said I have two options + last resort:

1-they will repair this on my cost and it could take weeks or months to get the parts for this specific Taiwanese phone (I never heard of this before specially that digitizer is just a component)

2-return it to original seller for them to replace/repair or refund

3-call Samsung care UK and try to "convince" them to take this handset and repair it eventually FOC

Now, I don't know what the Hong Kong seller has done previously to this phone if they had unsealed it then applied a warranty sticker (says Samsung etc..), what I know for sure is that I resisted common sense and ordered this phone overseas to save few bucks

to summarize, I will give up and RMA this phone maybe the seller can replace/repair etc.

thanks all for your help
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] adygadam:
I just found out why I could not log into Google and the request was timing out!

I have my router at home setup with a DNS server of 9.9.9.9 (as I dont want Google to snoop over all my activity outside Chrome) therefore the phone was not able to connect to Google server for some bizarre reason even though my web browsers have no problem using Quad9 to resolve google services.

I set the DNS up back to 8.8.8.8 and now my phone can instantly log into google!

hope this helps someone who tinkers with their DNS settings on their routers
[Moto G7 Questions & Answers] emkorial:
So I want to use an older version of GMail and Google Calendar. The pre installed versions are 9.x and 6.x respectively. I have APK's of the 8.x and 5.x versions (also respectively)

So I click on the APK for the 5.x version of Calendar, and get the "App Not Installed" message. Just for SnG's, I click on the Gmail APK, and to my surprise, it actually installs, replacing the 9.x with the 8.x. I did nothing different.

Any idea why Gmail would allow an older APK to install but Google Calendar wouldn't? And how can I replicate it to get the older Calendar installed? Disabling the 6.x version does not make a difference, I still get the App Not Installed Error

I can confirm third developer beta is quite smouth and stable.

Battery life seems a bit worse but not big deal.

On first attempted I've made dirty upgrade over 9.5.10 and worked pretty well,but I've screw it by activated xXX no limits and that cause a bootloop and couldn't boot neither TWRP or flash TWRP img via adb.

So my only choice was via MSM tool to recover my phone.

So now I'm on fresh clean setup with magisk 19.4 +TWRP 3.3.1.35 installed and everything is fine.

But I'm not gone stay for long just couple of days as I will be missing substratum themes+renovate ice +xXx no limits that on Pie worked brilliantly.

Just keep in mind if you're on AT&T or Verizon DP3 will crash UI System constantly. If you remove the SIM it's fine but as soon as you put the SIM back in, System UI crashes.

What is a quick an easy way to check whether or not Knox Bit has been triggered when buying a used Samsung?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] cooltt:
Boot into system recovery, you can't rely on the various apps to show you as most of them just lie and say it's not tripped..

System recovery

1. Turn phone off

2. Hold volume up+home+power

Knox should read 0x0

Then just choose reboot.

Not sure there's any way you can do it in advance to buying the device

Since recovery can also be modified, I'd say download mode is the safest way to confirm. Same key combo but using vol down.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] massmanjr:
I want to play music and podcasts on my watch (local files), without needing to have my phone nearby (i.e. not within bluetooth range). A few questions:

1. The Spotify app allows me to download playlists, but not albums? Does anyone know a way to directly download Albums? Or perhaps I have overlooked something?

2. I'm not aware of a podcast player app that can be installed on the watch that allows variable speed playback on the watch. I don't see a way to have the Samsung watch app music player adjust the speed of playback. Any suggestions?

On a separate, but semi related topic. If both the phone and the watch are on the same WIFI network, but NOT within bluetooth range, is there any way to control a phone podcast app and stream the audio from the phone to the watch---and thereafter listen to the audio from the watch via bluetooth headphones?

Just wondering if the 855 plus is just a overclocked version of the standard 855 and if we can overclock the CPU and mainly GPU to match it?
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] piit79:
Yeah, coz the standard 855 is not fast enough, right? :D Not worth the trouble IMO for a few percent extra speed...
[OnePlus 7 Pro Questions & Answers] KemikalElite:
Yes, from what I'm reading 855 and 855+ are the same except for CPU and GPU speeds.

You can use a custom kernel to overclock to the same speeds (if not better).

However, because this phone already runs everything perfectly it might not even be worth it considering unlocking bootloader, wiping data, increased battery drain from the boost, potential issues.

All of my games run at the framerate cap on stock anyway.

Well, the first phone with the 855+ AND a software which is efficient like OOS will be very slightly faster than our OP7Pro.
