The S20 and S20+ use different main sensors, so there is no autofocus issues.

Unfortunately the overprocessing is a Samsung "feature" and will be similar on all Samsung phones. It's something many Asian phone companies do, since it is desired in the Asian Pacific region by many customers.

What tort did Samsung commit? It's really not a class action suit things here. If they refused to allow you a return or they otherwise hid the fact the battery sucks (or whatever complaint you have with the phone) until after the return period then yes you'd possibly have a viable lawsuit, but as it stands there is nothing you could point to as a violation on Samsung's part or a harm you incurred.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] cpufrost:
Focus hunting occurs on *all* phones/cameras. With video it's best to use either manual focus OR just lock in focus at a certain distance when applicable. Of course if you're moving around and subject changes that's not going to work. Perhaps the Note 20 or S30 next year will feature a fully parfocal arrangement! ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] pafc66:
They should be openly stating that "performance" on the Exynos model may not be of the level of the Snapdragon chip and atleast state it in writing, market it clearly and inform customers.

In Australia we don't have the luxury to "return it before a certain period" like either countries, once it's opened there's no returns unless there's a fault in which case it's sent off for repair or refund. To charge the same price ( rrp $2000AUD for 128gb Ultra- more than most countries) without informing customers is an absolute joke and at the very least should be a good enough reason to be able to return it for a refund.

There's no secret why they've opted for their home country (Korea) to house the Snapdragon model locally now.

For battery life to last +2 hours less SOT and considerably more idle drain is not good enough, the GPU seriously struggles at 120hz and it's lucky if the Exynos gets 12hrs battery life with 3-3.5 hrs SOT. It's basically like using a generation behind chip and calling it even. We are paying a premium price we should all get the same performance.

As I'm American I can't say if you have the ability to sue a company because they give Australian a different product than Americans (I'm going to guess you don't as it doesn't make any sense, but like I said I have no knowledge of Australian laws).

Likely they opted to use the Snapdragon because the 5G chip worked with their networks better, or because they are balancing production of their CPU and the Snapdragon, it some other inane business reason instead of to screw over you.

But you do you, contact a lawyer and see if you have a case.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] pafc66:
I don't need to contact a lawyer. We are governed by Australian Consumer Law and we'd definitely have a case to return this product if people got up in arms as there's a clear difference. They also opted to use Exynos because it's cheaper, they use Snapdragon 855 in their mid tier phones here it's got nothing to do with modems but all to do with cost cutting. They only use Snapdragon in the states because they're obliged by contract with Qualcomm to do so..

Аlways turn off scene optimizer, bixby, and beauty modes for the front and back camera.

I would pick HEVC for video and even pictures, it offers higher quality images.

Use 40mp for the front camera, it should offer better quality.

Skin softening should be gone with pro mode or scene optimizer off.

4K30 is THE BEST mode for zooming in video.

Turning off EIS can decrease the cropping significantly, and improve the quality, if you walk slow, you don't need EIS. Same is even more true if you use static subjects or tripod, turn off EIS and get much better results.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] _Dennis_:
I can see why you might be frustrated, I can't see how frustration equals legal action. But like I said, you do you.

Pretty sure the "consumer law" fits right into the return policy, this is why they offer a return/exchange window.....

OIS should ALWAYS be disabled when the phone is on a tripod. Especially if used on a ship or at a loud venue (concert) were bass can vibrate things. The bass will still cause artifacts but with OIS engaged it will turn into a jellified mess.

They don't offer a "change of mind " return policy here in Australia outright at Samsung or from telco carriers.. I'd assume it would be much of the same in Europe / UK.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] MrPhilo:
No, I could return my phone opened and used as long as it's like new condition and not damaged in anyway in the UK within 28 days.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] pafc66:
Geez, that's good mate.

Nothing of the sort here, hence the frustration and why ACCC need to be made aware of why customers are wanting refunds if the phone is not performing to the same level of other variants.

---------- Post added at 12:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:50 AM ----------

No amount of updates will improve the battery and performance anywhere near the level of the Snapdragon model.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] 2015Ducatimulti:
yeah I have the Snapdragon and I have been very happy with it, guys over seas that had to buy the exynos one maybe just return it and wait for the next release.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] shollywood:
What are you talking about? Samsung offers return period worldwide. Usually 2 weeks for most.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] pafc66:
Well Telcos and Retail stores that stock the phone like JBHIFI, Harvey Norman , Good Guys ect where majority of people purchase it don't give any refunds unless there's a fault.. once it's opened that's it. You have to actually buy it from Samsung online.

---------- Post added at 02:38 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:33 AM ----------

Return it and wait for the next release?

They'll never make a Snapdragon flagship ship here or anywhere but America and Korea and small parts of Hong Kong.. why would they when it cheaper? It won't be long till they're all Exynos world wide.

Hope I'm wrong.

Focus is not the only issue with this camera!

Software cannot overcome the physical limitation of the lens, i.e. softness and distortion. The latter can be addressed in software but TBH that introduces issues on its own.

I plan on sending mine back and waiting for iPhone 12 this fall. Because as it sits, my 11 Pro Max walks all over both the Note10+ AND this phone.

I will miss the 100X zoom. I found a really good use for it amongst all this crazy stuff going on in the world today! Shelf hunting and reading signs from across a store! :D
[Moto G5S  Questions & Answers] memetix:
I have a XT1797 with unlocked BC.06 bootloader. I was on stock v7.1.1 and recently TWRP flashed Lineage v15 but am having issues with this ROM, mainly bluetooth and speakerphone not working at all.

My question is can I safely try other Android v8 and v9 ROMS with this older bootloader, or do I need to upgrade the bootloader to the BC.12 version and if so what are the implications for downgrading? I have a working v7.1.1 backup and would like to keep the option of returning to that backup if all else fails.

Any and all information anyone can provide will be very gratefully received - thanks.

From this thread: https://xdaforums.com/nokia-x/general/tutorial-how-to-partition-nokia-x-xl-t3450079

Hi Everyone,

I'm just sign up for new member in XDA. I need your helping hand for my Nokia XL.

I 'd read this thread from beign to end , and every comments. I decided to re-partition my XL (28/02/2020).

Everthing is OK. No error,re-partition had done ,everythings seem like OK,

but whenI reboot to TWRP-3.0.3-0. Every partition (Data,Cache,Dalvik etc. can mounted except the only one,System can't mount.

So I can't flash anything (ROM,New Recovery)

because it show :Failed to mount system with invalid argument.

I've tried to reformat, change to Ext2 and change back to Ext4,

remove old partiton and make new partition by parted and etc.,

It's still can't mount.

How can I do with it?

Any advise or suggestion for me , Please.

Best regard.

(Sorry for my poor english):(:(
[Nokia X] KelvinCrag:
Back up your data and wipe all partitions.
[Nokia X] buaykhem:
Thanks for your suggestion KelvinCrag.

I can wipe every partitions except system. It's show failed to mount system.

I tried to flash stock rom by NokiaXFlasher,Every .img flashed done (boot,recovery,cache,persist,userdata,variant) except system.img.

Tried to revome all of partition of /dev/block/mmcblk0P* by fdisk or parted. But alls of them still remain

I have all of partition backup before re-partition (mmcblk0.img) and tried to restore to /dev/block/mmcblk0.It still failed to mount system.

So I have no idea to do now.

Wait for your suggestion, Please,

Thanks again.
[Nokia X] KelvinCrag:
It's either you made a mistake while following yshalsager tutorial to re-partition or it's because your recovery is unstable, the ONLY stable twrp for nokiaX/XL is V2.8.7

Anyway try this fix;

- Download and run this script.

- Wipe all partitions

- Download this Nokia XL Images

- Extract mmcblk0p23.img - mmcblk0p25.img - mmcblk0p26.img to /sdcard (internal storage).

Using your twrp recovery

- Flash FormatAdditon.zip

- Also flash RestoreAdditon.zip

And Done! Don't forget to hint the thanks button
[Nokia X] buaykhem:
Sorry that I come late.

KelvinCrag : Many thanks for your advise :good::good:

OK. I've tried to do following your step:

1. Wipe all partitions. =>Still failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)

2. Flash Re-Partition-XL.zip. => Done but failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)

3. Flash FormatAdditon.zip. => Done but failed to mount /system (Invalid argument)

4. Flash RestoreAddition.zip => Done, reboot to system . It's stuck on NOKIA logo.

In my idea, I think the only one problem is that /system partition (May be I'm wrong).

I agree with you about "It's either you made a mistake while following yshalsager tutorial to re-partition or it's because your recovery is unstable" and I don't know what happened.

I'm so sorry about the "Thanks" button (555) I've just seen button when you said.

OK. I'll hint it. :laugh::laugh: and wait for any advise.

Thanks you.
[Nokia X] KelvinCrag:
You're more than welcome...

You mentioned in your previous post that you were unable to flash a new recovery. What recovery were you attempting to flash? and was it a zip or an img file?
[Nokia X] buaykhem:
Thank you KelvinCrag :

I have TWRP-2.8.7.0-normandy.img and miui_XL.Zip.

I tried to flash them by

1. - fastboot flash recovery TWRP-2.8.7.0-normandy.img

- It's say Done.

- Take off battery and wait for 10 sconds, re-insert it.

- Boot to recovery. It still be a TWRP-3.0.3-0

2. - Boot to recovery and flash it by install TWRP-2.8.7.0-normandy.img

- When it ask for system or recovery I selected option recovery

- Can't install : Failed to mount /system

So I can't change recovery to others.

Any suggestions for me?

I'm just new XDA-Member and I don't know how to hint Thanks button.

I've first press it. It change to yellow button and I've press it again, It's chnage to grey button.

Is it finished? I don't know it's right or wrong steps? :(:(

Thanks you. :o:o

Flash stock ROM by Nokia X flasher as you did before but this time install this King Root to root your phone and install flashify to change recovery using [MENTION=6876379]smrshkh786[/MENTION] Tutorial.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RyuDragon:
Hi everyone!

Recently, for reasons of having a fast and economical mobile, I bought a second-hand Moto X Play XT1563 Latin American version.

The first problem I noticed is that the battery tends to go to 0% even while charging. It can go to 70%, or 50% or whatever percentage. Or if I open the camera after a few seconds it goes to 0%.

What happens, when I start the phone in "Factory Mode" after it "dies", it works without problems. And it still maintains the battery percentage with which it went out. And if I try to turn it on normally, just before the Bootanimation is finished, the low battery sound sounds and then it shows the "Turning off" and turns off.

Also if I put it to load off, it shows the percentage with which it went off. I turn on the phone normally and it shows the percentage, but when disconnected after a few seconds it does the same thing of going to 0%.

I thought it was because the previous owner never updated Nougat, I have read that the ROM of 6.0.1 gives a lot of problems, so I updated it to see if it was the problem and it has not solved it. I tried putting the Kernel "Squid R23" to see if it was Kernel Stock problem and nothing.

It should be noted that I do not have the Motorola Turbo charger, I use one of 5V 1.5A. And it takes about 2 or 3 hours to charge. And it is downloaded two hours later, I don't know if it also has to do with it. Although it still seems strange to me that "Factory Mode" if I work without problems. It basically works like a Tablet, only WiFi.

I guess it may be the battery, but I have read similar cases and they say that replacing the battery does not solve the problem.

Personally, using my mild common sense, I think it is something of Firmware as a type of descaling. But I don't know how to accommodate it either, I've already deleted the "Battery-stat.xml" several times and it doesn't help the problem either.

I hope someone can have the solution to the problem. A cordial greeting!

(Sorry if my English can have errors, I speak Spanish and I don't know how to speak English well. I use Google Translate)

EDIT: When I am in "Factory Mode" and have an already low battery level, the touch screen starts to make ghost touches at the top and bottom. Especially when I do things with consumption, such as opening the camera or if the phone is just turned on. This only happens in the "Factory Mode" and when there is little battery.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItzHeilner:
Same problem here

I have installed the LineageOS 14.1 in my X Play and as you mentioned, in Factory Mode the battery continues to drain out completely, and in a normal startup, it randomly shuts down below 40% of charge.

Once I drained the battery in Factory Mode, then left the phone charging overnight. Next day it powered itself off at 20% and eventually 40% again, so no solution there.

I tried deleting the Battery-stat.bin and the Battery-stat.xml but nothing changes.

Then in Factory Mode there is no mobile network connection, and in Normal Mode something is sending a shutdown signal nevertheless the battery level, so I was wondering, can I manually turn on/off such services so my phone doesn't turn off in Normal Mode or turn on the mobile network connection in Factory Mode?

Can someone lead us in the right direction? I can't find the right services nor the way to enable/disable them.

PD Your english level is above average, I speak spanish too.

The device say if you are using a bluetooth headset should support other codecs like aptx, LDAC etc.,

I have it running carplay pretty flawlessly with the carlinkit wireless carplay adapter (USB dongle).

Now, I have 2 really big issues I need to resolve:

1) I cannot charge the Nexus while the dongle is connected. When I hook a wireless charger to the Nexus, it will only charge when nothing is plugged into the micro USB slot.

2) The only way to wake the screen (after it goes to sleep with the set 5 minute timeout) is to press the top power button. That button is very hard to locate when driving. I need to activate touch to wake or swipe to wake or something.

For 1 and 2 above, what are my options? Is there a version upgrade of the LineageOS that I can get that will address those 2 issues? If not, what would you suggest? Thanks in advance. I'm sure this is going to be great but these 2 issues are a major buzzkill for my carplay joy.

Sweet! So, basically I can install that kernal over top of my existing 14.1 LOS or is there more to it than that? I haven't modded a device before, this one, luckily, already came with LOS pre-installed.

Reading through that opening post, it appears all those functions are "optional". I suppose I'll figure out how to opt-in soon enough, lol.

Also, it says "For fixed-install (Complete working OTG+charge mode) Use version 5.16", so I guess I should follow that?
