I'm not with virgin lad.. no idea, EE advised it would be the 13th. If it's not then I'm cancelling. Going to try the oppo V2 pro
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Just got off the phone to EE as I got the active 2 watch with cellular WITH the phone and seeing as I have the watch and not the phone I was worried that id end up with a watch I couldn't use with my current phone, p20 pro.

The chap from EE clarified that I will definitely get the phone on launch, march 13th as I ordered on the 3rd..

So I'm quietly happy now, just hope they don't mess me about.

My advice if you're unsure, tell them that if there's a level of uncertainty that it won't be there on the day that's you've been promised then you'll cancel it if it doesn't show up.

With EE, they told me that my order status will update on the day before to say it's been allocated.

so noone got the phone yet so far, just as i said they are lying. I was told tomorrow but yet no email from Virgin
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] west2cool:
EE seems to be misguiding people as I spoke to rep on the phone and he said EE hasn't received stock yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
It hasn't been launched yet pal. They can't give it to you before launch day.

I was told the 13th which is the earliest you can get the device in the UK according to EE
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
3 people I've asked for all confirmed I'll get mine on the 13th, it completely depends on the date you ordered it, I ordered on the 3rd march.

Which apparently is fine for launch day, it's on them now if they fail to come through I'll cancel it, I've no problem either way.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Scottland:
I ordered 20th Feb and was told 13th at the time. My online order tracker says 24th - 26th so I thought I'd call EE to see what they say. The chap didn't really seem with it at all, but he eventually went away to check and was told the 30th!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] maverick1103:
I thought the pre-order delivery date for S20 Ultra in the UK was 10th March, that's what I read and was told by my network Vodafone. I was supposed to be getting mine delivered today but I called up to find out where it is and they've advised there's a delay on stock and it's going to be at the earliest 23rd March :(
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Guitarfreak26:
John Lewis pre order is being delivered today even though their Twitter team told me it was delayed until 4/4. I think so many retailers confused by the release. Probably shortages due to Corona as well
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Lovely, excited ? :D

Do you use any emulators? I'm very interested to see how anything on the dolphin emulator works. It's kind of the ultimate test for performance, if the exynos can keep up with last year's Snapdragon then we'll be good . If not then its going to be crap for me..

Also could you check out an app called ram truth. Takes a few seconds to install from the play store. Just want to see if swap memory is on or not. My guess is that it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] 3Shirts:
Over on the EE forums, if you can wade through the mire of angry posts, it seems that a lot of people are getting their devices today or tomorrow. The best advice seems to be to install the DPD app and put your details in and it may pop up on there if it's been handed over for delivery. Several people on there have actually had it delivered today.

Sadly mine hasn't but if you ordered early you might.

Seems like trying to get any sense out of EE is a challenge. Everyone is being told different things by different departments. Best to just go by the DPD app (or call DPD) to see.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
They've been pretty consistent with me tbf. I'm getting it sent to my work, DPD literally avoids my house, and they're a nightmare to chase.

Cheers, will grab the app, see if it shows anything.

When did you order yours? And how would the app make the connection between EE and me?

I've got no date on my pending EE device screen
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] 3Shirts:
I ordered on 25th Feb.

When you install the DPD app you put your address and phone number and it relates that to deliveries. The history tab shows a bunch of stuff they've delivered to me in the past so it's accurate, but sadly no phone on there atm.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Nah nothing for me either besides my watch an a bunch of other bits I can't identify.

It's my work address

A freind of mine has had hers s20 5g today from EE she ordered it last week.

I ordered my s20 ultra 2 weeks ago and ee won't tell me when I'll get it apart from when they have stock they will send it ? I ordered being told the 13th... Now they carnt even confirm that. Never mind
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Aye I got told the 13th too. Lol it's up to EE if they want to keep us ;) lot of competition, I do prefer EE as a network tho, brilliant signal along my commute, work and home.

So lol I've week and early delivery.

Another ordered 25th and no confirmation.

Yep that's about as random as Kanye west's thought process
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Guitarfreak26:
Don't use emulators, phone feels very snappy so far for what I'm doing but that might be 120hz haha. Screenshot attached for ram truth
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Yep see the bottom bit, swap? That's the page file.

When that's off the device is faster. Least it was on my last 3 devices.

You planning on rooting?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Guitarfreak26:
Potentially might root, I always used to but not too sure these days
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Nah mate root is life..

All the things I miss from having a turd like the P20 Pro. Trust me my ultra won't breathe before I root it
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
My order hadn't budged

I'm meant to get it Friday, should it have??

EE said it'll move the day before. So tomorrow..can anyone say anything otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Ok so just got off the phone to EE.

Corona has certainly stepped up, NBA has closed it's doors, La-Liga has done likewise and the premier league may be going the same way.

In regards to the promise that was made I was told the 13th and when my order wasn't shown today as being available tomorrow (friday) i was livid, but after speaking with the chap from EE, they literally have no power, not only that but they don't have a clue when Samsung will be able to ship their devices to them, anyone who got their device prior to the 13th is an anomaly, the 10th was a sub date which they sent some orders out on.

Their official standpoint is that they will fullfill their orders as soon as they come in.

Initially i was abrupt and pissed off, but after a moment i was calmer and saw things from his perspective.

If things take the piss then they will offer credit to accounts, but that's all they can do.

As i bought a watch to go with the phone but i can't use the LTE function with the phone i have now, they will show that it was accentuating circumstances so they would accept the return if needs be.

Livid, but kind of unavoidable, the world is not in a good place right now.

I'm in the same boat with Vodafone, not much anyone can do really, it's a waiting game.

Vodafone text me this morning saying they got my order on back order and will provide me an update in 3 days.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Yea it's crap. Was actually thinking of jumping ship to voda so I'd get the order but I think we're all having the same problems

I cancelled my EE preorder on 11 March and ordered from FoneHouse on the next day and got my S20 Ultra yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] maverick1103:
Yeah pointless ATM jumping ship, most of not all will be in same boat, plus you'll lose any preorder deals.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] felixthecat:
EE didn't have working examples of an s20 ultra in most of the stores i visited, most were just upside down models to show the camera bump. they convinced me that it hadn't been released yet so i went next door to CPW and they handed me a working one to play with !. last weekend i found one store with one. So if the store are getting them late .... then expect customs will too.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Been calling them periodically since i ordered on the 3rd March, also on a forum on the EE community, lot of misinformation, one chap popped into an EE shop and was able to fulfil his online order in the shop.

Others have had mixed messages, personally I've been told as and when they come in and it's a queue system in regards to distribution.

When i've asked for a rough guideline as to when that'll be, no one wanted to put a date on it.

I wouldn't switch to another network either, the speed is too good on EE for me, plus CS has been good in the past, this is just mad circumstances.

The issues apparently isn't EE though, it's Samsung, they're struggling to do anything with less and less people working during this launch.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Little update.

Spoke with EE, literally no clue when they'll have phones, plus they let slip that the OnePlus will be coming to EE probably in April, so unless they get me the ultra by the 20th (4 days)

I'm returning it.

They've had a lot of time. They've lied and lied, people have had their phones from EE, yet EE continues to try to tell me that the haven't had any? Lol sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] maverick1103:
I'm in the same boat with Vodafone, been told many different dates gotta wait until end of March now I've been told.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
This is the window i've been faced with day after day, it was updated the other day from coming soon to soon.

Lol had enough of this, they've got til friday.

Then i'm off, EE is doing the oneplus 8 pro so i'll be happier with that, snapdragon and root, plus great battery life,

Perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] maverick1103:
Coming from a OnePlus 7 Pro you won't be disappointed tbh.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Yea I had the 1+5 and went to the P20 Pro for the ois on the camera.

Brilliant but I really miss the freedom of a 1+ OS, it's superb and faster than anything I've ever used
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Haha that's crazy, if you ask EE they'll tell you no one's got them anywhere, it's impossible..lol pure lies mate
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] maverick1103:
Yes, I will miss the OS, its probably the OS I've used.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
One more day and bye bye to the S20, judging by the absolute panning it's had I think I've dodged a bullet.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Update:

True to my word, I've just cancelled the order, will also be sending the watch back too (no extra charge as it was meant to be coupled with the ultra and will not work with my current phone)

Such a shame in a way, I was looking forward to having a new device and Samsung devices do have a certain style which I've sort of missed.

With that being said, the phone from what I can gather (the exynos version anyway)

1. Same high price £79 pm on contract

2. Delayed like no other

3. Awful battery

4. Camera seems to be substandard compared to the SD

5. CPU / GPU performance is comparable to a 3 year old device.

I guess there's a silver lining there and a bullet dodged.

I did ask when they may have devices in for you guys too but was met with the same cryptic answer of "we can't be sure and wouldn't like to hazard a guess"

Not sure if I could recommend it now that it's gone to anyone wanting a £1400 phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] maverick1103:
I just laughed at your post and I think that's what most will do, considering what's going on in the world right now you seem dead set to hate this phone without even owning it!

I was annoyed when I didn't get mine on the 10th when I was told I would and now I'll just be happy when it arrives, because I still feel it's the best phone out there. Yes it's pricey and not worth £1400 but I'll be paying £54 a month and it's the same as what my contract is now, so for me it's all good.

I hope you find your perfect phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
For me finding a device that can handle the dolphin emulation is almost a must, prior to any real field tests I'd read that the exynos this year would be a lot better and almost on par with the SD which it's really not is it? In fact it's not on par with last year's, in fact I would put my OnePlus 5 against it based upon the gaming tests I've done in the past!

Not only that but I've learned that the Sony camera sensors used in the SD aren't even in the exynos? So it's actually not even the same device? But the price remains the same??

I didn't want to hate it before i had it, I wanted to love it.

But an absolute glossary of crap has raised its head and if I'm going to pay the most money I've ever paid for a phone then I think I've done the right thing on backing out, it takes a lot to convince me away from my gut but this is a strong case to avoid this device.

Most people may love it and good for them, personally I know now that I wont, as I'll be left wanting a feature set I simply will not get from this phone.

A month down the line and I know what will happen, the OnePlus 8 pro will drop for 20-25 quid less pm and I'll be fuming.

Absolutely the right choice in my eyes
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:
Yeah I think if it gets equipped with an excellent camera set-up and official IP rating(this time there's a possibility) MINUS pop-up cams, then 8 Pro would overall be a better choice than the "Exynos".
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Yep just look at the oppo X2 pro, it's a beast and had been shown in a comparison with the S20 ultra.

Oneplus follows the previous oppo very closely each year.

If it's anything like that which they have been each year it'll have the same feature set which is impressive.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] vimto25:
Got mine Friday, ordered on the 20th Feb.

So far ... Camera is decent

Performance is decent

Bad bits soo far but will need longer to evaluate.....

Battery life not great

Device gets pretty warm at times (maybe down clocking CPU)

For me now wow factor ? I so get most flagship devices so maybe the wow factor is no longer for any up coming devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
They underclocked the last device apparently.

I think if you're going to compare the device you have to compare it to either this year's ultra (865) or part year's 855. By all accounts they both have it for dust. Crazy that Samsung can get away with it.

Glad you like it though, perhaps this will get better with time, for the price I can't take that chance..

Yeah mate. I know they cant divuldge information but it'd be nice know how long of a wait we're facing because according to Vodafone's website, it still says expected delivery in 1-2 weeks. This cannot be true because you placed your order last month and you're still waiting.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] maverick1103:
Yeah I know what you mean, especially for you who ordered a couple of weeks after me. I think most places are advertising deliveries before end of the month about a week ago, so yeah 1-2 weeks.

I really hope to receive mine next week.

Hi

I have some general questions that I cannot find answers for on the forum, the xda wiki, or even on google.

What is CID? Purpose, function, where does it reside?

What is a super CID?

What is the connection to/difference between CID and SIM (un)locking?

Martin
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] martin_kongen:
Found an answer through google, by guessing that CID stands for carrier id. The answer is actually on the xda wiki, but the xda wiki search feature is broken.

"CID: Carrier Id - commonly used in the form `CID-Unlocking`. If you purchase your phone (example) from Qtek (Qtek is the 'carrier'), your phone will only accept Qtek ROMs (the carrier's ROMs). If you want to flash ROMs from other carrier, you'll need to CID-unlock your phone, so that your phone will accept other ROMs. Note: In general, the phrase 'unlock your phone' usually refers to SIM-unlock, not CID unlock."

Guessing that a super CID is a carrier ID, that will allow ROMs from any carrier. Not sure though.

Is CID a HTC only feature, or is it also used in other brands?

I noticed yesterday when I went to download the March OTA image that there was one specific for AT&T. Anyone know why the Pixel 4 has a specific image for AT&T?
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] EVR_PR:
No. But it was pulled because it failed certification and was not passing Safety Net. So, right now, there's only the other build available.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] spielnicht:
Thanks for that. I just rant into an article on Android Police that it's coming back soon. I'm still curious as to how this differs from the standard ROM. My curiosity is driven by the fact that I'm on AT&T and haven't been able to enable Wifi Calling or Number Sync. I was told by the AT&T reps that it's because the phone doesn't support VoLTE, which is BS. While AT&T generally blocks non-AT&T purchased phones (unlocked or not), the Pixel line is exempt and supports all of their services. I had no issues with the Pixel 3.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] EVR_PR:
That exemption was for the Pixel 2 and 3, which AT&T didn't sell. Now that they sell the 4/XL, they are uncertifying unlocked Pixel 4s. Only AT&T bought models are authorized by their servers to have VoLTE and WiFi Calling. Without VoLTE, you won't have access to WiFi Calling.
