[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ththth0033:
Hi, so I recently bought a Galaxy A50. When I brought it home and started looking around through the apps and settings, I noticed somethings that sort of alarmed me. I'm such an incredible noob about all these sorts of things I really don't know where to start. I'm hoping someone here has answers or can point me in the right direction. I just wanted to add right off the bat that the sales people who sold the phone to me came off a little fishy in the store, so I was a little uneasy from the get go. I can elaborate if anyone's interested. One peculiarity that underlies this entire post is that while in airplane, it seemed that some things were still able to open/access the web.

First off, I took the sim card tray out, and it didn't look like the stock sim card tray I saw in Youtube videos. For starters, there's a circle in the second sim slot that's not in the stock sim tray from the video. It also differs from the stock sim tray in the video in that there appears to be metallic bits at the end. As a precaution, I taped up the second slot and put it back in the phone. The odd thing is, when I took the sim card tray out again after putting the tape on, it there were indents/impressions in the tape right where the circle is. This is the video I used as a reference for a stock sim card tray: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RprD9McCwc4

[IMG="1"]https://i.imgur.com/jv33W2y.jpg[/IMG], [IMG="2"]https://i.imgur.com/0zzOGEN.jpg[/IMG],

Second, there's an app called SIM Card Manager that doesn't appear in the apps menu. It only appears if you search for it. The permissions it has seems pretty gnarly. But you can only see the full permissions if you click the 3-dots. At first blush, it has no permissions.

[IMG="3"]https://i.imgur.com/KVTwBbK.jpg[/IMG], [IMG="4"]https://i.imgur.com/F2oAgGg.jpg[/IMG], [IMG="5"]https://i.imgur.com/36WMIdj.jpg[/IMG]

Third, the configapk app was also a little fishy. From what I gathered, configapk tells the phones which apps to autoinstall as part of the carrier/manufacturer setup. The weird thing is, when I click disable and confirm the disable, I get a weird popup asking if I want to replace the app with the factory version.

[IMG="6"]https://i.imgur.com/62d3q1W.jpg[/IMG], [IMG="7"]https://i.imgur.com/i1Go7X0.jpg[/IMG]

Does anyone have any idea what's going on? There's some other minor issues I won't waste your time with unless you think this is a sign of something. How do I dig deeper? Thank you all so much for any info you can offer.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Jmakhdoom:
I am currently using Samsung Galaxy S10 plus. Should I go ahead and buy Note 10 + or wait for Samsung fold?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Depends. Do you want the Fold, or do you want the N10+?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Jmakhdoom:
I want to upgrade my phone. Only Samsung Note 10 + is available in market which is better than my phone. Samsung fold is a new tech so is it worth waiting for fold price drop or purchase note 10+?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] winol:
I always advice others this:

The note series is REALLY satisfactory for those who like an apreciate the features the S Pen provides, if the S Pen is not the MOST important feature for you to have, simply get something else , as you put it, the the S10+ or the fold would be good for you
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] pete4k:
That's like asking "should I get SUV or should I get 2 seater sports car" LOL. Fold won't be available until around 9/27 and should cost around $1800. Note 10+ is available now for around $1100. I already made the decision (as probably a lot of other people here) to buy N10+, because Fold won't have s-pen, which I use all the time and it's a new tech which already showed to be troublesome in the past. I'll wait to see if all problems are fixed and if much larger screen is compelling reason enough. Also hope for price to come down a little. At home and work I have computers, which I prefer to use over the phone no matter screen size and on the go where I use the phone the most (like driving for map guidance/traffic) larger screen may actually be too cumbersome. I can always sell N10+ and buy fold in the future and couple hundred resulting loss shouldn't be major concern, when you're spending $1800 on the phone.

BTW I agree with Winol, if you don't use s-pen much, there are so many other good phones to choose from, it's mind boggling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
The problem is, you're asking us what you should buy, and none of know what features are important to you. Only you know if it's worth it to you.

It's an impossible question to answer anyway since none of us have a Galaxy Fold.

Do some research, watch some YouTube videos, and decide which one interests you the most.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] koppee1:
I think you should actually look at the other foldable phones. Huawei's version is actually a lot better in my opinion. Of course I'm not yet considering all their troubles with the US Gov't. But when I compared the 2, I really felt Samsung dropped the ball there.

With regards to new tech, and given the problems the first fold encountered recently, I would actually warn people from buying the Samsung fold. I previously bought the Note 7 which was recalled 2x. And it was such a hassle. I had to set up my phone 2x only to have it recalled. I sold my old phone too so I ended up without a phone. I had to settle with an LG phone at the time and replaced it when the Note 8 came out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] teegunn:
I would not buy first-gen new tech. Foldable devices will be crap the first few go-arounds most likely. Would not want to be a first adopter. The Note line is 9 years old now definitely very mature while the first Fold literally folded so badly they nixed it and are trying again 6 months later. Go with the Note 10+ or a similar device that is not first gen tech.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] vodovodo:
for me, first generation tech is always a BIG NO.

The 15 year old is dying for the 2000$+ new tech, but i controlled the sucker and got the Note 10+ and satisfied since i have tab s6 for the heavy stuff. best of both words (phones and tablets) and cost less than the fold
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] skinnytoo2:
Not so fast my friend!

The S-Pen is a big factor to consider. But there are others that you should take into consideration....

The 12GB of RAM is a huge upgrade. If you think the S10+ is fast, the Note10+ is that much faster with 50% more RAM!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] AeroSatan:
My S10+ had the same 12 gb of ram as my Note 10 does

Hi everyone,

I'm coming to you because you're the last chance for my HU to survive... and also because I'm a dumb with Android or softwares...

I got a few months ago a chinese HU with no name and Android 7.1 to install in my 2007 grand vitara.

Everything was ok for a while, and then one morning I start the unit and it stuck on the screen below.

I can let it like this for hours, nothing move. Since, I'm just able to turn off/on the screen.

I tried all reset/buttons combination I have been able to find on the net to get in Recovery Mode, nothing. I unplugged it from power, nothing. I put a new rom on the sd card (thinking maybe it would run from the SD) nothing.

So any idea is welcome.

Otherwise, I think this will go straight to trash...

Many thanks for your help

But now I have no time to do that, and would like to ask you, which rom has good audio quality for bluetooth air dots? Battery is also important, and I don't care about the performance cuz I dont play games on my phone (just cs:go on pc).

I was using pixel experience, but battery backup was terrible. Changed to masik, battery is Ok, but audio even with tweaks its not good as on pixel experience. Now, im using Xiaomi.eu, battery is ok but audio is very poor and low...

I'm running xiaomi.eu weekly rom which I find good. Haven't flashed any other custom roms on my RN5P, as too lazy to set everything up again. Are you using it rooted, do you experience any issues with banking apps or the like? Sorry for all the questions, just curious to hear how you find things compared to miui.

Hello Everyone,

Here is my problem I am on T-Mobile and jumped ship back January to get PIE because the other carriers were providing them faster than T-mobile.

At the time N950USQU1CSAA was a great option and there were no issues what so ever using it.

Now I am Stuck in N950USQU1CSAA, haven't seen an update since January 2019.

Since I have flashed the rom from a thread that tx_dbs_tx posted, Official OTA Update Pie [N960USQU1CSAA] [SM-N960U U.S. Carriers] [2/1/2019] Everything was fine. Then months later I have found out that he ( tx_dbs_tx) requested for the thread to be closed. Now I am stuck on this rom N950USQU1CSAA with no updates.

I have checked the software update feature in the OTA rom and yet it stays at the January 1 , 2019 patch level.

What should I do to get the next patch?

Can someone please point me to a live link for the latest OEM version of the Samsung Note 9 that is released by T-Mobile?

The rom that I am using N950USQU1CSAA will not update.

Thanks for taking the time to read this thread.

Thanks digitalart for chiming in . . . .

Back in the day, when I was on the Samsung Vibrant S4 having root was common. Now with S7, S8 & Note 9 forget it.

The tools that are shared are so advanced and 1 wrong option checked or not checked could ruin you day.

I feel like an old man, knowing what I want, but don't know how to ask for it or apply the changes myself.

So Is the N960USQS2CSGB here?

Can it be downloaded?

Thanks again digitalart !!!

Ok, I finally got my act together & thanks for everyone who assisted.

I tried twice and with Odin and it failed.

I followed all of the steps, then tried with the Patch version of Odin and it worked.

What is it with the patch version that allowed the flashing to work?

Why don't they just all remove the latest version and just push out the patched version of Odin?

I was scared as hell when oden failed twice . . .

can you point me in direction of correct version of odin , and did you do anything special or just add files and flashed without any special. option selection?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] serendipityguy:
This happened to me twice and I was scared . . .

Just keep at it and be very patient.

Lot of stuff can go wrong . . .

Just watch many YouTube videos on the flashing of Samsung Note9 Firmware as you can.

There probably some small tip that is not being implemented or not working.

Use the samfirm to download then decrypt the firmware

Use Odin to flash the 4 files.

Don't try it if you are not comfortable & start when you have seen enough of videos on YouTube.

Eventually, you will be motivated to risk it and when you do and it does work, then you will have achieved something great!

Now comeback after you have moved some mountains!

If your on AT&T put Files BL , AP, CP, And on CSC For AT&T only instead of adding CSC , Put HOME_CSC instead and leave USER_DATA Blank and continue with flashing your odins you placed this will not wipe your AT&T data since HOME_CSC AVOIDS YOU LOSING DATA , Then be patient the boot can take 5 to 10 mins and you should be done thats it.

Thanks Venom0642 for assisting with this, & I hope that this get resolved for digitalart. I actually never thought about the carriers and their different Odin configurations and such.

I guess it's important to ask the right questions to digitalart and what carrier is he using.

Non the less, thanks Venom for posting the Updated Patch.

How can I port the vendor's kernel drivers for my model phone from their open-source kernel code to a clean kernel of a similar version number?

They are using 4.4.78 perf+ so presumably that would port to a generic android 4.4 kernel?

Is there any books or guides available to provide an overview of which parts of the android kernel get changed during development of a new model?

The reason I need to port the kernel source drivers to a clean kernel is because I cannot replicate the vendor's environment and have failed to make their source code standalone compilable - so it fails to build even some basic modules.
