[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] cpufrost:
OIS lens' have elements in them that are free moving when the voice coils are not energized. So when you shake it the rattle noise you hear is the element moving and reaching its mechanical limits. This is perfectly normal. When the camera is engaged, the voice coils are biased with a small current that keeps the element very steady. This current is modulated according to the movement to counter handheld shake. It allows longer shutter speeds and lower iso values to improve image quality at lower light levels.

OIS on cameras and lenses have settings to turn it OFF so if the camera is on a tripod focused on still object there won't be interference. I wish there was a toggle to turn it off on phone cameras too because loud music can cause the servo to go into full hysteresis (oscillation) making the video almost jelly like when a kickdrum or synthbass hits hard, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] coldcrush390:
Open your camera app and shake the device lightly. You'll notice OIS kicking in
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] moisha:
That's the first thing I noticed, once I pulled my S20 Ultra out of the box :(

See here. IMHO the $1,700 phone (16G,256G) should have this element "parked" when not in use .

[General Questions and Answers] TrevinLC1997:
My brother has an old S6 that he gave me because it has an FRP lock and he doesn't know the password to his google login nor does he know any other way to get rid of it.

I've been looking for firmware to try and downgrade it to like 5.0.1 or something so maybe I could bypass it and remove the lock but looking on the internet there doesn't seem any post at all that references SM-G920RZWAUSC except for the sales page. (I can't post a link but if you type in SM-G920RZWAUSC the first link will take you to the us cellular page)

So would any other firmware work for my phone? Like SM-G920A4 or something?
[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] ThomasDustfield:
Hello,

After updating for the most recent update, my phone restarted and is now unresponsive showing: "You have to enter the password to access all functions after the phone is rebooted".

I cannot enter the code since the touchscreen is not working, it's completely frozen, although the animations seem to be working, since the clock is working and it opens the shutdown screen.

I tried a forced restart but the problem persists.

Any news on this problem?
[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] TheCrownClown:
Try to enter recovery and factory reset it, or just clear the cache
[Realme X2 Pro Questions & Answers] ThomasDustfield:
Hey!

Thanks for the tip.

In recovery mode I still need to input the password and the touchscreen doesn't work.

Any other way I can input the password without the touchscreen?

[Other SmartWatches] Wedney:
Ok guys, so I'll tell a little backstory here, basically I wanted a smartwatch to monitor my hear rate and stuff of the sort, I saw this Colmi Land1 smartwatch with a friend and I was hooked. I found it really good looking and asked my friend if it was expensive. He replied that it wasn't so expensive and gave me the contact of the store he bought it in. The next day I got one for myself and I'm really enjoying it and find it very useful. But I like to customize my tech stuff myself, I noticed that the Colmi app has about 50 watch faces and there is a simple one that you can customize with a photo, but I'd rather make my own, with its own layout and screen composition. I was wondering if there is any type of editor that I could use to make one and upload it externally to the Colmi app?

Best regards,

Spoder.

[Other SmartWatches] wwwaske:
Seems that this is the case :(

previously i had a Haylou watch and there was great 3rd party app called ''Hello Haylou'' that could do this easily.

Looks like noone bothered to make something similar for Colmi

...and i had to use Colmi because is big enough to read the screen, since my sight is greatly damaged by too much staring at the screens my whole life
[Other SmartWatches] vxsw:
you may try something on fitcloudpro (tbui, not push) in similar price. or if you not so limited in money, of course would be more prefer some amazfit (but on zep os 3.0-3.5 not lower).

[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Stevie123:
Hi,

i used Miflash in edl mode to get back to stock rom. after flash and reboot I used the recovery mode to do a factory reset.

It seems to work. It shows Android Recovery, but the bootloader is still unlocked.

What mode do I need to enter to use the "fastboot oem lock" command? I always see "waiting for device" and nothing happens

When I type "adb devices" I can see the phone. I saw there is a command "fastboot devices", too. but it shows me no result.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] klałn:

Then, try to use fastboot cmd
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Stevie123:
Thanks, before I can try that I have to solve another problem.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Stevie123:
That doesn't work. The phone isn't entering a special mode. I can choose fastboot from the bootmenu, too. But nothing happens. The phone does a restart, shows the bootmenu again and boots android after 5 seconds.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] dnlilas:
[MENTION=1044602]Stevie123[/MENTION]

You need to enable fastboot (bootloader) mode since it is disabled by ZTE, so that the selection from menu to be effective (after enabling it, in fastboot mode, your command "fastboot devices" (to check) and "fastboot oem lock" (to lock bootloader) will be accepted).

You can use Axon 7 EDL tool to unlock the bootloader.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Stevie123:
It's already unlocked. I have to make another unlock procedure again to get access to fastboot? The EDL Tool tells me that I have to wipe and reset the phone after it. So it seems I can't keep my data and just lock the bootloader.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] dnlilas:
Either Lock or Unlock will wipe your data. And yes, the unlock procedure by Axon 7 EDL tool includes the enabling of fastboot. So you have to re-unlock if you want to relock.
[ZTE Axon 7 Questions & Answers] Stevie123:
I think this EDL tool doesn't work very good. It flashed something to make fastboot available, but I had a green ZTE Logo screen and this screen also had errors like white spots. The original ZTE logo is in cyan. But the fastboot worked and I could lock the phone. But I couldn't do anything else anymore. I couldn't reach Android and reflashing also didn't work. So I tried to use the EDL Tool to unlock my bootloader again. It said success, but it didn't work. It was still locked.

Well, I had to wait until the phone was empty. Luckily I could reach EDL Mode again. I used the MiFlash again to Downgrade to Android Nougat B12. I read somewhere that the fastboot is included there. So I had the right ZTE Logo back and it worked. I could leave the Bootloader locked. The final update I did with a SD Card to the lastest Android Software for Axon 7. Luckily without a brick. It's a pity that they don't offer any Updates anymore.
[Touch CDMA General] jbatu:
Tom tom 7 wont lock on to any satellites. I have tried astro gps launcher and others. It shows in Tomtom that it finds satellites but they are not blue like when it locks on, they remain Grey or just don't move at all. Can anyone help me?
[Touch CDMA General] Aaron McCarthy:
Are you using a bluetooth GPS reciever or the internal reciever? I'm not sure if that matters at all but if your satelites arent locking on go to the GPS configuation menu and select whatever option you use (ie internal or external bluetooth) if external bluetooth press select then likely com 2 I would assume.. thats the default setting. Once thats done it should connect shortly after. Sometimes when tomtom starts for me it locks on right away other times it seems to have issues connecting to the receiver. IN order to use the internal gps recevier you have to be running one of the roms thathave activated it. If you havn't (just covering all bases here) then that could be why.. cause your internal gps isnt activated. NOW if it is activated and you still arent locking on make sure you're outside and leave it sitting there for a few minutes. It should lock on as thats what most people have had to do when first getting it to work.

If that doesn't work I'm not sure what else to recommend.
[Touch CDMA General] jtashman:
what rom are you running?

There have been a few roms around here that perform terribly with GPS locks, sometimes requiring a few resets for it to lock properly.

Can you get a lock using Windows Live?

I can say that TomTom7 works fine with astro launcher. The settings in TomTom work both for internal gps, as well as other NMEA gps device: com4, baud 4800.
[Touch CDMA General] Aaron McCarthy:
If you're using the internal GPS antenna in the Vogue after using Astrolauncher and letting tomtom load go to your gps setup in tomtom and then choose "other NMEA GPS reciever", then baud rate 4800... then com 2. That worked for me. Took a few minutes the first time it got a lock. watch the satellite status screen, should say poor GPS or something at first... and you should see grey bars at the bottom where its normally blue when you have a lock. Thats when you know the internal GPS antenna is on.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Jairus24:
By buying an Android device, you must already expect shorter software support, the longest support I know is up to 3 years (Pixels and OnePlus). 2 years with 2 major OS upgrade is already lucky, others in the mid and low range tier is usually 1 year and is super lucky enough if they get one major OS upgrade.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] _Dennis_:
Then don't buy it. Two years of OS feature updates and three (total) of security updates isn't terrible. That's less than $40 a month, or what many pay for coffee or video games a month. If phones are your hobby or your job, it's not that expensive compared to what others spend on their hobbies.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] le0.br4zuc4:
9to5 Google only recommend Pixel phones and some of them use iPhone full time, so I don't take this very seriously.

As far as Android 12 goes, yeah, another year of update would have been great but I never keep phones for a full year and most people upgrade either yearly or every 2 years... However, for a $1400 ultra phone users should get more than we get on other phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dmb219:
This phone is the beast everyone has been asking for for years. It should be expensive. 2 major updates for a phone is average if not above unless you have an iphone. I've had the ultra for 2 days and fully expected to return it and keep my p4xl but I think I'm hooked. It is awesome. The buds came today and they are great. I won't even try to describe them - need to try for yourself. It isn't for everyone but it is some good stuff.

It's pretty much planned obselesence at its finest, most companies do it as a business strategy to get more money. It's scummy, but it is what it is when you live in a capitalist society.

As for apple supporting up to 5 years, I doubt that's hard for them considering iOS 13 design looks the same as iOS 7, just icon changes, control center and notification center UI changes. If anything, their yearly updates are incremental at best.

Whereas if you compare Android in the past 6 years, it has come very with major changes every year.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Guyinlaca:
1. If you're a techie buying an Ultra, you'll probably replace the phone before Android 13.

2. You know this before buying one. If updates are that important, you could buy a Pixel or iPhone.

3. Android updates aren't game changing anymore. Each year, updates become like bug fixes and battery tweaks than anything else. Until a major visual overhaul is done, there's little to gain.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Illrigger:
Additionally, an OS update to a device that has neither the RAM or the storage to effectively run modern apps is pretty pointless unless you are a completely casual user anyway. You can limp along with basic apps on a 5-year-old iPhone, and there are plenty of people out there who that's good enough for them. A lot of families hand their old phones down through their kids and older relatives, which is pretty much the only reason Apple does this - it spreads out their user base to new people who buy services and hardware later. Remember, they make license money on even a new lightning cable.

FWIW to the OP, Samsung is still doing quarterly security updates on the Galaxy S7 as of this post, so you may not be getting a new OS update, but they are NOT abandoning their flagship devices.
