[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] seanteoh1999:
So I recently bought a new s10 plus but I made a post about it already but I haven't received the phone so I didn't know anything about it, today I received the phone and checked the ram and its only 8GB is this normal or is it suppose to be like 12 or 10 GB ram? (my phone is 12 GB ram and 1 TB variant). Also, is the screen supposed to flicker a lot when it opens up the camera because mine do?

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] jhs39:
Anything more than 6 gigs of RAM on an Android phone is nothing but a marketing gimmick. The vast majority of people don't need more than 6 gigs of RAM on a laptop--according to Microsoft the minimum RAM requirement to run Windows 10 is 1GB which is stretching it but 6GB is more than enough to provide an extremely smooth experience for anyone who isn't a power user. With that in mind what practical purpose could having 8GB or 12GB of RAM on an Android phone possibly serve?

The expanding RAM numbers were a gimmick to convince the gullible that they needed to purchase expensive new phones--these are the same kind of people who don't question why they need a higher resolution display on a phone with a 10" display than on a 55" television screen.

Now that more RAM and higher resolution are the norm the latest gimmick is smartphone displays with higher refresh rates. Most people won't actually be able to see any difference but that hardly matters if it sells phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] matt0323:
So you already stated you have purchased a 1TB 12GB ram s10.. and you received an 8GB ram s10? Where did you buy it from? I would bring it back since it may be the wrong one or it may be fake depending where you purchased it from.

How much did you pay for the device?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] firesword14:
It is possible the wrong product got delivered to you, If your order correctly states that your device should be a 12 GB variant, you need to do a RMA.

Just to be sure update your device, for checking your RAM, go to settings -> Device Care -> Memory. At the top it should list, there should a be a bar and just under it your used memory/total memory.

For checking storage, go to settings -> Device Care -> Storage. At the top it should list, there should a be a bar and just under it your used storage/total storage.

If either of these don't match your order, please check with the seller, you should only get what you paid for.

As for the screen flicker, it really shouldn't happen, on my device opening the camera app is a rather smooth animation.

Dude, what is your problem? OP asked for verifying the specs of his device and not a lecture on what is the appropirate amount of RAM according to you! Did you even read his question?
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] seanteoh1999:
Hi sir, I wasn't very clear , sorry.. i currently have 8.5 GB ram available with no apps opened and seller confirmed it was original although I am still afraid coz I bought it not from official shop. In us dollar it's about 800 usd but in my country it's Rm 3000.. I am not sure its suppose to have 12 GB of ram if I have no apps opened or is it normal to have 8.5 gb of ram bcoz it might eat some ram for the system to run so I opened this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Android is designed to fill most of the RAM at all times. In simple terms, empty RAM is wasted RAM.

As you start using apps, Android will keep your most commonly used apps in RAM, so that they launch quickly each timeyou open them or switch between them.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] matt0323:
Well if you go to; Settings, Device Care, Memory. It tells you how much RAM you got..
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] seanteoh1999:
oh.. yeah i got 12 gb.. Thx you very much
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Twabi2:
While I'm charging my Diamond, I occasionally get electroshocks.

A few days ago, I experienced it for the first time, the shocks first increased in size exponentially until I just had to drop the phone.

I've just had the same experience again, but the shocks were strong from the first time now.

I'm not talking about some tickling tiny current that's flowing, it feels more like pure 230V going trough my fingers (yes, I know how that feels from experience :D).

I know that's not possible as the Diamond charges on USB (5V), but still... I get shocks sometimes when I touch the metal sides.

Is anybody else having this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] wardy:
Hmm , no and I would check the earth in your socket on the wall .
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Yeah check the earth in the socket or extension you have your computer plugged into.

Also check that the computer actually uses an earth pin. If its a laptop its a super common problem because alot of them don't use earth pins!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Twabi2:
Yeah, should've guessed that one... Of course my laptop doesn't have an earth.

Still, it shouldn't give me shocks like that, I except all metal parts on the outside to be completely isolated.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
Its an age old complaint... The ground wire from the USB is tied to the ground of the phone, and so this is effectivly the 'earth' of the phone.

There are good arguments to say any metal on the outside should be grounded, and alos good arguments to say it should be completly isolated.

In the end it doesnt matter too much which way you go, charge will always build up, with the meterial between forming a diaelevtric.

Don't worry its not dangerous, it just bloody hurts :p
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] s1rl4ncel0t:
Excellent explanation. I wouldn't put it better.

HastaSSSS
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] GSLEON3:
LOL, Sorry I couldn't resist, & after I will chastise myself & delete my own post, but where is in the world are you guys that they call it the "earth"? Us yanks call it the ground wire & I was just curious as I've never heard the term "earth" used for this?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Ameet:
just my 2 cents.. ;)

earthing is a term used for the return elec current to be diffused. this is done by keeping a reference point as earth.. as for the ships, the current is grounded in its hull coz the mass of the hull is considered as a reference point known as earth

that way the body of the phone is considered as a reference due to the mass and the body is considered as earth for the phone :)

now the current flowing through the phone is not too much but the return current from the power socket or ur laptop is transfered to the body of the phone thats why u get the shocks. check and prevent this to avoid any damages to ur phone :D
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ziggyred:
Earth is the common term used here in Blighty. Electricity was developed in many parts of the world fairly recently (yeah I know it's been known about for thousands of year - hence the term developed) so our respective terms probably evolved from whatever was locally popular at the time...

UK & USA; "...two countries separated by a common language"?

p.s. You can tell how bored I am waiting for the Postie to bring my new phone... :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] someone1234:
AFAIK the term 'earth' comes from a long long way back when a coper wire was run to an iron anchor placed into the earth (mud, earth, soil, whatever you wanna call it!). There's an interesting way to make a radio using such an earth anchor, without any additional power - but its bloody quiet!

Usually the term 'Earth' is used to signify the lowest grounding potential you can find in a system - like the example given, the hull of a ship. Its usually used when you talk about electrical wiriring etc.

'Ground' is usually used in electronics to signify the lowest potential for a circuit. You can have multiple grounds at different potentials, such as when you combine analog and digital circuits with optocouplers.

Essentially they both mean the same thing, but its just convention over here. If you said Earth when talking about a digital electrical circuit you may get laughed at, and saying 'ground' you wouldn't.

But if you said 'is that TV grounded?' when talking about the wiring in your house it would seem normal, just as saying 'is that TV earthed?'.

So its not an exact science just like most words over here!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] xwaiz:
I got similar problem when using TyTN II. The shock occurs few times when charging on my laptop with USB cable. Since my ear got shock (not my hand), so, I feel the shock is come from the ear piece slot.

Hello All, I have a Samsung Galaxy A2 Core A260G/DS with android 8.1 Go Edition. I believe this phone is intended for the Indian

market. I can't add widgets to this phone. There are a few widgets already in the phone but I can't add any more. I go to the

Playstore and install them but they don't appear in the widgets list when I open it. Is this a limitation of Go Edition Android,

or is there another way to add widgets? Do I need to root?

Any and all help appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave.

[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Leon:
So basically the title says all. I'm planning to use this device a little bit longer, and the only problem with it is the battery life - but I love everything else, like the display, the sound, the design. I was a wonder to root before few months but feels like at this point, at least with Samsung you losing more than you will gain with root. Like Samsung Pass, Samsung Health and Security folder. I know there is a way to recreate them but not sure is worth it all the work. Although, I tihnk is worth it to sacrifice those (but I really will miss Samsung pass), to have a better battery life.

So my question is, if I root my device, put some custom rom + some app like Greenify, will be I able to have a better battery life than now? At the moment I make around 3h of sot, which maybe is normal for device +1 year old. But I can't trust it when I'm going out. Always need to carry a power bank with me, just in case...
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
yes, installing a custom ROM will likely increase your battery life so as that the kernel that the ROM youve chosen is optimized for efficiency. If the ROM you choose is overclocked beast-mode gaming champion settings enabled, then no. Some ROMs are also very stripped down eliminating seldom used apks thereby increasing batt life as well. What model do you have? if its the g965u, you aint rootin it fwiw
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Leon:
Thanks for the response!

Yes, I understand boosting or using some modes for performance can lead to worst battery life. My device is G965F. As for now, I'm planning to wait for the final version of Android 10. Then I guess would wait for developers to update their ROMs and chose the lite one?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Youdoofus:
Youre most welcome!

If you do that, you might be waiting for a while as Samsung has been recently pushing to make root more and more difficult. If youre dead set on rooting, id do it now and avoid the pitfalls of being on a bootloader version that you cant go back to your old one from and waiting for the devs to figure out the new source code etc etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] martinlink:
This seems to be an issue on other android phones as well but none of the treads on google have found a solution.

I'm not even sure this is a flaw, might be like this by design...

Whenever I come home with my WiFi turned on, the phone will not connect until the moment I turn the screen on.

It never disconnects when it is already connected.

WiFi always on is turned on. I do not use data.

Running Oreo but same thing happens in Pie.

Anyone willing to test whether theirs acts the same? Any solutions?

Thanks!
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] NutsyUK:
Honestly the price seems too good to be true... So what's the catch?

I know a few people here have said they got there global phone fine from eglobal, but I do remember them as a dodgy shop back in the day...

So is this legit? Is it safe? Is it a real international phone with no strange hacking of the k20.....?

Should I buy here?
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Michiel0912:
I once ordered a Canon 6D that did not arrive in time. They send a new one because the previous package disappeared. Communication with the hel(l)pdesk was a pain in the ass. The camera itself was a grey market one.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] armsel:
Are you referring to K20 pro? If so and since you are quoting the price in GBP - you should be aware that some mobile service 4G bands are not supported in the UK by this device - check if that is the case with your provider.

Else the price seems reasonable to me. Changing the ROM shouldn't be a problem.

9T pro have better band coverage + it will come with Global Rom.

I personally have K20 pro - still on china rom and I intend to keep it like that - quite happy after the MiUi 11 update, doesn't bother me at all that is China Rom. The countries that I use it at - have the 4G bands supported by the device.

https://www.eglobalcentraluk.com/xiaomi-mi-9t-pro-8gb-256gb-dual-sim-redmi-k20-pro-carbon-black.html

This one... They say its the mi 9t pro global/international... mentions B20 in the band list, They say its not a k20 rebadged/flashed phone...
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] Oof101:
The phone itself is most likely legit. The reason why eglobal's prices are lower than usual is because they don't pay import taxes for their products. An issue that might arise from purchasing it is that it may get stuck in customs because it would be a grey import and with no one to pay the import taxes. Usually however, it will pass customs without and charges as they usually declare the package value lower than the actual value to avoid being taxed, which I believe the threshold is around £15.
[Redmi K20 Pro / Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro Guides, News, & D] boomboomer:
Main problem with that store is you only have a 50/50 chance of getting anything at all, it may say in stock but frequently isn't. It took a week to get them to admit this and cancel the order.

[Xiaomi Mi Note 10 Questions & Answers] kayfwee:
Could anyone who has their phone check if you can select 1080p 240fps in the camera app under slow motion? Mine only lets me use 720p for 240fps recording, although both 720p and 1080p are available for 120fps.

I have the CC9 Pro (Chinese version of the Mi Note 10), although I checked the official spec sheet for both the CC9 Pro on the Chinese Xiaomi site as well as the Mi Note 10 on the global Xiaomi site, and both state that 1080p 240fps recording should be possible.

Hi, i bought my universal (mda pro) on allegro (e-bay like polish portal). First time when i switched it on, screen was mirrored. I serched google for any rom to replace the original(now it is some qtek). It was useless. After next few hours on google i found pictures of dissasembling universal. I had opened screen and moved cables. When i switched it on it was ok... but only for 1 day. Right now moving cables does do nothing.

Question is: is there any reg hack to put screen to original, or i have to replace that bunch of cable from mainboard to screen or mayby it it bad soldering?

If any one has experience like that, plz help.

[HTC U12+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Romano2K:
Hi!

I've had trouble installing a GSI on my HTC U12+, but AOSP GSI maintainer phhusson helped me, so I'm sharing a quick tutorial.

1. Download and extract Android SDK Platform Tools

2. Download the GSI of your choice (ARM64, AB variant), and move it inside platform tools folder (I've only tested AOSP 10.0)

3. Download and extract the HTC RUU Decryption and Extraction Tool

4. Download the RUU for your device and move it inside HTC-RUU_Decrypt_Tool_XXX folder

5. Follow instructions from the RUU Decryption Tool thread to decrypt and extract the RUU, with all default settings

6. Move the vbmeta.img file you've just extracted (it's inside HTC-RUU_Decrypt_Tool_XXX/OUT_XXX/firmware) to the platform tools folder

6. Unlock bootloader

7. Restore stock firmware with microSD method or factory reset if you already have stock firmware

8. Reboot in bootloader

9. From a computer, launch a terminal, change directory to the platform tools folder, then execute "fastboot erase system"

10. Then execute "fastboot flash system <your_gsi.img>"

11. Execute "fastboot reboot bootloader"

12. Execute "fastboot flash vbmeta vbmeta.img --disable-verity --disable-verification" (WARNING : According to 5m4r7ph0n36uru, you can't flash vbmeta via fastboot if your device isn't S-OFF, you have to use TWRP, but I don't know how, so ask someone who knows! I will update my tutorial once I see instructions.)

13. Execute "fastboot reboot"

It should boot the GSI!

On first boot it may ask for a previous decryption password and complain about a corrupt data partition. You can erase it (you will lose what was inside).

If you have bugs or issues with the GSI, there may be workarounds here: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki/HTC-U12-Plus

Enjoy your GSI on your HTC U12+! :)
