Hey s20 plus users, anyone of you have issues with the auto focussing with the 64mp camera? Cuz I do, my plus just wont focus on the subject automatically, I have to click on the subject for it to focus. Is that normal? or is it supposed to focus automatically??

Oh and I once had a 30%-35% battery drain over night, insane!

Exynos variant that is. lol

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] jazee:
I have an S20+. And the firmware reports 4,370 capacity which is the guaranteed minimum capacity. Not the reported capacity comes from the phone firmware NOT the app. The estimated actual capacity comes from the app. The capacity the manufacturers advertise is the "average" capacity. Also I've used Accubattery for a couple months now and it reports 94% health, this doesn't mean my battery actually has the advertised 4,500 mah capacity. The health is based on the phone accurately measuring the exact charging current of the charger which isn't a perfect measurement.

Generally these battery apps are good for measuring the RELATIVE change in the health of your battery over a long period of time, or, checking the battery health when you purchase a refurb/used phone. For new phones, anything 92% on up in my opinion is an indication the battery is good and essentially in like-new condition. On renewed/used phones, that are 1-3 years old, I think anything at about 85% up shows the battery is still pretty good. It's when you start to dip below 75% is it probably a reliable sign you probably could benefit from switching to a newer phone/battery.

Also, it is not uncommon when a phone is brand new or after installing some new apps, your battery usage can temporarily jump for a day or two. The most important stat to look at in Accubattery is the current (not average) Screen Off Dishcharge rate in % per hour. If it's around 1% or lower, then you don't have a lot of apps doing stuff in the background to eat battery. If it's like 2% or more, then go into Settings > Device care > Battery > Battery Usage and look at what apps are using a lot of battery that have more background time than foreground. Those are what's eating your battery and you need to see if there are settings in the app to minimize background usage, or make sure they are not excluded from the Optimize Battery Apps list (some apps have to operate all the time in the background though.)

Orange Upgrades...

what do they offer on top (e.g. extra minutes), or am I better off looking in Carphone Warehouse or other networks etc.

I have had a £35/month contact (with a £50 SPV M3100) and just realised I'm 5 weeks from the end. My dad's been using the SIM as I have a better contract with 3 and will let him carry on using it but keep any new phone, I also do not want to change number (it will be inconvenient porting from contract to contract across networks).

Never upgraded before-always had 12 month contracts, moved on before the chance to upgrade came.

Any advice?

Initially I chose Orange over T-Mobile as I was at a new house and their Broadband was free/£5 with a good contract, but I grew tired as it was not actually 'unlimited' and was too slow and now use Be Broadband.

I don't really like any of their current phones though, I have a Viewty and K850i (plan to sell one of them) and don't like the Touch Diamond. Nothing they have is truly better than even the K850i (which I use with a 8gb microSD).

Has anyone had any positive encounters with them in the past?

i managed to get a trinity on upgrade last year on dolphin 35 with a 10 pound discount, so i get 600 mins, unlimited texts and now with the new data package i get 'unlimited' data, plus 3 magic numbers all for 25 squid a month. although thats a 18 month contract.

im looking to get a diamond on the same tarrif soon
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] prince_a1:
I purchase a like-new condition Samsung Galaxy S9+ phone from Amazon Warehouse for international travel coming up in couple days. I figured I would have a better chance of getting an authentic phone from Amazon than from ebay sellers. I received the phone yesterday, and here is the situation with the phone:

- The box of the phone says "unlocked by Samsung"

- The sticker on the back of the phone has the model # SM-G965UZBAXAA and IMEI number of a factory unlocked phone

- The actual IMEI of the phone however shows model # SM-G965UZBAATT, which corresponds to the AT&T carrier locked phone

- When I turn on the phone, it shows T-mobile screen and has T-mobile apps on it

How do I determine whether this is a AT&T phone, or a T-mobile phone or something else? Unfortunately, I do not have either TMO or ATT sim cards that I can use to check which network the phone works on. How do I know whether this phone is unlocked and if it is will work internationally? I am not sure how to explain the imei of the phone coming up with ATT model number, yet the phone shows TMO screen.

Please help as I need to get this resolved today, and don't have time to purchase another phone. Thanks much in advance!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
put any sim in it and it should work these phones are multi carrier means all the us models are the same if its att imei id say its unlocked since obviously last used was t mobile but if you put any sim in it other than att it should accept it and not say unnsuported sim and or ask for unlock code

to further this as i said the us models are all the same. They have a file called CSC which determines carrier based settings you can put in a tmobile sim and it will repersonalize for tmobile then swap to att and att will show up..

Its the way of the future and actually quite nice as one firmware pretty much covers all carriers other than specific user data which is that carriers apps

it may be unlocked obviously the listing was wrong but xaa is factory unlocked for sims, You can reflash xaa if it is unlocked for non carrier branding,But id put any sim in and see
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] prince_a1:
Thanks for your response. So if the previous owner put a T-mobile sim in the AT&T phone, then would it show the T-mobile screen at startup, and also have the T-mobile branded apps?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Yes the csc files are multi carrier the phone will do a New sim inserted please reboot to apply new carrier configuration

and it will reboot and install the inserted sims carrier based bloat apps
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] prince_a1:
Thanks again! Is it safe for me to do a factory reset on the phone? I wasn't sure if it was rooted and whether a factory reset might brick it. If I do a factory reset, what would it restore to - the AT&T or TMO configuration, or something else?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
Yes its safe go into settings and account backup restore it should show factory data reset Thats the proper way to get rig of a google account on the device It will stay as is until a new sim is inserted factory resets have nothing to do with it
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] prince_a1:
Thank you so much for the information! Highly appreciated!!
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] prince_a1:
I downloaded the phoneinfo app, and here it what it shows:

Firmware's CSC code: XAA

Active CSC code: TMB

IMEI check shows model ending in: ATT

That made me highly confused as to whether this was a AT&T phone, a T-mobile phone or whether it was originally sold as factory unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
So originally it was a att device. Who ever used it used it on tmobile but on xaa which is debloated unlocked
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] prince_a1:
Under Service Provider SW ver., it shows TMB/XAA/ATT

I am trying to understand what this means, why would it show TMB, XAA and ATT? Does it mean the phone was originally AT&T, then someone installed XAA firmware on it and used it on T-mobile. If that is true, is there a way for me to verify whether the current installed firmware is XAA?
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] TheMadScientist:
That is correct. You see it now. The third csc code is the original device. The second is what csc you have running. And the first is or was sim inserted.

Look in settings about phone and software info. At the bottom somewhere it should show you
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] prince_a1:
Yes, what I pasted above is from about phone->software info. It shows the service provider sw version as TMB/XAA/ATT. Thank you!!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alex91ar:
Hello everyone!

I'm starting a new research on an embedded device, I'm pretty new in iot hacking, so I'm lacking a lot of basic knowledge.

The device I'm working on runs on an ARM soc and uses an Android based operating system, booting with an U-boot bootloader.

I was able to get an adb root shell, which gave me access to everything on the device, and proceeded to dumping the whole emmc raw image (the one in /dev/block/mmc...).

I'm now trying to boot that same image on a tinkerboard, so I can get a better view at the internals of the device and to be able to debug it properly, which I can't do on the original device without damaging it beyond repair.

For this I want to grab one of the tinkerboard's android images offered on the website, which is basically a raw image which you can flash onto an ssd card an use it to boot the tinkerboard, and modify the partitions I need (system, boot, userdata, etc).

However, I don't know how to extract each one of the partitions from this raw image. I was thinking about doing something manual with binwalk and dd, but there must be a better way.

So my question is: Is there a tool I can use to extract and then rebuild each android partition from a raw emmc image dump?

Thanks a lot!

I was wondering if someone could help out here. I finally put HTC home on my Tilt and love it, but... I do a lot of SMS messaging, and I cant seem to find a shortcut/optioon from the home screen straight to composing a new SMS like there is in the At&T HTC plugin. Its a pain in the ass to have to go to messaging, then select new, sms.

Thanks...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] antihrist:
there are apps that enable this kind of things.

i would recommend "HTC action screen". it has lots of "new" options (sms, task, appointment,...). you can find cab for this here on forums. after you install this you should assign this app to some hardware button for quick and easy access.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] mooseload:
Thanks man. I was kinda hoping to find a way to map it to the PTT button or one of the HTC home tabs...I really didnt want to run an app just to do that but I will give it a look.

Thanks again!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] kmorris89:
There are plenty of programs that let you change soft key settings, search around. Also a bunch of threads that explain how to set up a shortcut to the new SMS screen, which you can then set to a soft key.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] antihrist:
HTC Action Screen is just simple app which pops up dialog with "new" options. if you don't select anything it will auto close in few seconds.

another thing is that if you send messages to people in your contact list, it is much easier to use some contact manager to do that than "new sms" option. i use Finger Friendly Friends, but this is not free. with FFF i'm able to find desired contact and make some action (send mail, sms, mms, call home, mobile...) in few seconds without using stylus.

but if you really need only "new sms" option, kmorris89 is right, just remap one of softkeys to do that. you will find info on softkey remaping here on xda.
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Rutjan:
Hello,

I'm facing a weird issue: since yesterday circa 5:30 p.m., some apps suddenly stopped working for no reason and just won't open or rapidly forceclose when I try to launch them: Gmail, Google, my bank app, Feedly, Amazon shopping, Steam, Xbox, Google Rewards, etc.

I first noticed that issue while I was running Android Auto and wanted to check my emails, the Gmail app force-closed without any message when I tried to open it.

On the Google app for instance, as soon as I try to type something in the upper-bar, BAM, force-close. And I get this weird message instead of my usual Discover feed at launch:

I also noticed that I can't open the Google settings: all I get is a white page, so I'm thinking it might be related to my account in some way... but some other Google apps, like Google Music or Maps, work just fine.

There's no common denominator between the apps that work and those that don't.

For those which don't work, I cleared the cache and even rest app data, uninstalled those I can and restored to stock the system apps, but no result, those specific apps just won't open.

I also tried wipe cache from the recovery.

For the record I'm running android 10 and even flashed a more recent OXM firmware (keeping HOME_CSC) to make sure it wasn't due to system file.

Do you have any guess??

Your antenna bands may be filthy, try dealing with that. If the original owner went in the phone before you they could've done something to the device, not connect something back together, and if I'm correct, the antenna bands are supposed to work with the wi-fi as well.
[Huawei P20 Questions & Answers] Meierhansen:
After several days reading into topic, many tries, (including bricking and unbricking my P20 two times down to fastboot access only..), I still not at my goal: Taking full ownership aka. get root of slick & clean device.

Thanks to [MENTION=4960686]OldDroid[/MENTION] and his crew (THX!) now I have a working AOSP 10 Preview 2. It was flashed over a fully working EML-L29 9.0.0.293 (C432E7R1P11), bootloader & FRP unlocked, installed from eRecovery internal download(after second brick..) Thankfully I refused to update to 9.1 before due to /system read-only problems i red about. So everything, including recovery should be genuine. I will try to keep all the Google inside an Island and restrict it as far as possible with firewall.

Now I question myself how I can obtain root without bricking this wonderful machine again. I guess I will need Canary Magisk Manager from this link:

https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk/dev-magisk-canary-channel-bleeding-edge-t3839337

Switching channel to canary too, going the recovery_ramdisk patching route. (TWRP I already miss you!!)

I already downloaded EML-LGRP2-OVS 9.0.0.293 (FullOTA-MF) via Firmwarefinder to extract recovery_ramdisk from it. As I only flashed system I guess this should be the version I need to patch with Magisk?

I know, this is pretty unknown territory, but on OmniROM 5 beta I the non working touchscreen bug. Would give it a second try if there is no other way, maybe starting from a lower EMUI 9 version? If anybody could confirm my plan, or tell me its rubbish, I would be thankful.

What is Magma?:

Magma is uhh, quite a new rom, COSP was merged with AOSDP to create this, Magma. It's created with the same purpose as both of them.

To be light, clean, fast and privacy friendly rom.

Features as of right now:

- Basic customization (QS tiles, clock, battery and theme picker clocks and stuff)

- Primary dark theme color (can be edited with theme picker)

- Everything mentioned in the introduction :)

Instructions:

- Download the latest build and gapps/root and place them in your phones storage

- Reboot to twrp

- Wipe system, data, cache and dalvik

- Flash it all

- Reboot to system

- SUCCESS!

Known issues:

- You tell me

Little notes:

- The rom is still fairly new, it has more "under the hood changes" than customization and other stuff and its being worked on constantly so expect a lot of updates

- QS customization is in the 3 dots in the QS editor (where you move them)

- The only way to go in the theme picker is from the launcher (going to be fixed soon)

- Its wip :)
