[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] coldcrush390:
In my experience when placing the order on Samsung's website, the credit isn't something they give you, rather you spend it as you place your order. Anything you didn't add is essentially lost as it's a one time deal. That's what I was told. I was pretty upset because I thought with after getting the Galaxy Buds+ I would save $50 after the case I wanted was restocked. I ended up disputing the credit loss and they emailed me a promo code with the remaining $50 which was nice. Problem resolved!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] teamfresno:
I read their terms and it says, if you don't use any of the credit, you'll get it emailed to you 15 days after delivery of your phone. If you used only a partial, you'll lose whatever's remaining. Glad Samsung sent you a promo code for that $50. They sent me one for $70 because they kept canceling my order.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] parlayed:
I chatted with Samsung today informimg that I received my pre-ordered Ultra from T-mobile yesterday and I wanted to know how to claim my $200 store credit.

They informed that the promotion starts on 03/05 and to check the inbox in the Shop Samsung app and the instructions will be there on how to get the $200 credit which involves uploading my receipt in which they will then verify.

Attached are my chat logs for reference :)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] cshaff34:
The credit is active on Shop now, but mine did not work the first time. I contacted Samsung and they said that the servers are overwhelmed right now. They also recommended that I uninstall and reinstall the app and to try again. It worked okay that time and I was able to complete the registration process for the credit. Now it's just pending approval.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] bwachtel:
I did mine first thing last night at like 11pm central time. Went through fine on the samsung app. It now says pending approval. Think this is kind of a stupid process. They should have supplied codes with the phone or have a way to auto validate. Its been close to 12 hours now and is still pending approval. I chatted with samsung last night and they said it can take anywhere from 4-6 weeks for you to get your credit after approval. Hope the guy was an idiot and that actually isnt the case..... all this for buds+....
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] bwachtel:
So i contacted the chat again and the support guy wasn't much help, but almost right on the 12 hour mark, just got a notification that is has been approved. Now it says "Congratulations! Your submission has been approved." and then below it says "Your Samsung credit will be delivered soon. Your Samsung credit will be delivered in approximately 4-6 weeks" fml.....
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] joe12401:
I submitted mine, says currently under review. I had to submit proof of purchase, did anyone else?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] nappent:
Worked for me. Got almost instant approval and no proof of purchase.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] bwachtel:
yeah, every one has to. I think its to see the date of purchase to prove you pre-ordered it. Which i get, but its still stupid since the phone isnt even on shelves yet. so yes, we obviously pre-ordered it...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] _Dennis_:
The way to auto validate is buying it from Samsung directly.

I love when people get bonuses and they complain that it's not instant.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] bwachtel:
It is a "Bonus" , but i purchased the phone with the knowledge this $200 credit comes with the phone. It was apart of my decision in buying the phone. A true bonus is something you didnt expect in my opinion. So yes, i am perturbed about their process for claiming the reward. I registered for the credit within the hour of it going live and am still waiting for the email with the credit code. In my personal opinion, this is a bit ridiculous and the conspiracy theorist in me wonders if this is by design to make you buy from samsung direct in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] sunmybun:
the approval was instant for me (like couple hours). the credit will take some time because its not just 1 or 2 people getting it.

this was simlar to my note 9 preorder promotion, when i got the free akg headphones. the approval took longer than this one (about a week).

the headphones got delivered in about 3 weeks.

just be patient. its not a life or death situation
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] _Dennis_:
Samsung doesn't care where you buy the phone, they make money either way. What they don't want is you buying the phone and returning it yet so getting the bonus. If you buy it from them, and you don't return the bonus items, they just reduce your refund. If you buy it from Verizon and claim the bonus, it's harder to get their money back if you return the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Wadech:
I plan on getting a couple of 45 watt chargers, but that's only half of the credit. What are you guys planning on getting?

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] alex.do:
Got my phone rooted couple days ago with Magisk (in recovery) and so far its working fine. All green. Yayyy

But when I tried to patch services.jar myself (by having my own magisk module to replace), something weird happened. All wifi profiles reporting "Incorrect password" I have to re-enter the passwords but it always ends up being that after reboot.

I think patching services.jar triggers something that causes the saved data to be corrupted and cannot be decrypted somehow? I think other data like bluetooth paired devices could be corrupted in the same way too.

I tried using the original services.jar without any modifications (just replace the .odex). Still no luck.

Smali Patcher doesnt seems to work on 10. I tried that too.

Im currently on latest stock ROM android 10 in case you wonder.

Any help would be appreciated!
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] hinxnz:
I had the same issue with wifi, I haven't patched services.jar though, so it's not that. I never re-entered passwords, just rebooting again did the trick. Not 100% sure yet but I think I solved it by wiping dalvik-cache, haven't had the issue since, touch wood
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] alex.do:
Got it solved!

I followed you to wipe the davik-cache and cache partition also. It didn't help at first. So I went on re-entering the passwords to some recent wifi profiles and tried to reboot. Voilaaaa the wifi seems to be saved properly now. I will check if it still survives after several reboots.

I think my patched services.jar has something to do with secure storage (since I set the isTimaAvailable() to return true always - more details can be found in Smali Patcher project, which does no longer work properly on Android 10) and that causes the old data to be corrupted and you gotta re-enter. I hope I only need to do it once.

Thanks for the tips!

Hi,

Is there any way to set the "Back Button" (button with the "<--" sign on it)

as a "OK" button?

Is there a registry key entry for it? I mean like the:

"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Today\Keys\112"

I've found that "skia" library is there in /system/lib(/libskia.so) in Lollipop and Marshmallow. Checked on Xperia Z5. Works perfectly without any issue.

It should be on all devices running lollipop and marshmallow. Though no switch to switch. You can enable it by using this in build.prop:

debug.hwui.renderer=skiagl

Reboot needed. Changes are noticeable with fonts becoming sharper.

How can I extract the boot.img and patch it before I flash it to the phone?

Finally how can I flash the boot.img to the phone?

Sorry to sound like an idiot. I have rooted a phone before ( Moto X Pure )

and it worked well.

This phone tho is newer and uncharted territory for me. There were programs and such for the X Pure

when i did it. This seems to be a command (adb) process only.

Finally, is there a different logo.img I can use ( I assume this is the boot animation file)
[Motorola One Hyper Questions & Answers] mingkee:
ROM is zip format

You need to get the lastest ADB for windows to have fastbootd support

adb reboot fastboot

fastboot reboot fastboot

Fastbootd is like recovery and flashing command is same

[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] Alfalfalaffa:
Hello good people of the XDA forums,

I live in Canada and recently ordered a Galaxy A51 off of Amazon, only to find out it is apparently the Latin American version of the SM-A515F variant. Using my Canadian sim card, will I be able to get get OTA updates on this phone from Samsung or not? If it comes to it at the end of the day, I suppose I could live with manually updating with Odin (how that works I have yet to find out), but I'd definitely not prefer it. As of this moment I'm still stuck with the December 1st security patch and version A515FXXU1ASL1. I got this phone just this Friday and didn't even receive an update as I was setting it up, which certainly worried me.

Also, and on a related note, because this is the Latin American version, NFC is disabled. Is that something that could be changed as well/be fixed in the future?

Thank you so much for your help y'all
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] jimrfraser:
I am also canadian who purchased international version on purpose(easy to root international)as soon as i put in my sim i recieved an OTA notice.

Mine happens to be panama latin america. I recieved u2ata8 update. Whatever you do,DO NOT FLASH ANYTHING BUT INTERNATIONAL FIRMWARE VIA ODIN. IF YOU FLASH CANADA FIRMWARE ON INTERNATIONAL VARIATIONS THEN YOU WILL HARD BRICK. Also you will get odin fail if you have U2 in your firmware. Cannot roll back to U1
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] Alfalfalaffa:
If I'm not getting prompted for similar updates does that mean I'm probably not going to be getting OTA updates? I believe my phone is the Panama version as well.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] jimrfraser:
You are correct but if mine got January and February update then yours should also. Mine is DualSim
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] Alfalfalaffa:
I definitely haven't gotten any updates. Is there any reasonable reason why I'm not getting updates but you are? I'm with Public Mobile, if that makes a difference. Would it have something to do with my sim card? The country code on my phone is TPA, which from what I've seen is the Latin America/Panama model.
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] jimrfraser:
No idea. All i know is whenever there is a panama ota update I get it
[Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers] reCoded:
I also ordered an A51 off of Amazon. I have the Latin American model and got an update to the February security patch not too long ago. It should work fine for you!

Feature Request:

Frame by Frame Advancement

Please forgive me if this has already been requested but I did NOT see it in he current list of user requested features.

I, like others here, would really like to see a few of the features that I've grown accustomed to in VLC for desktops and that I find extremely useful; as well as necessary on a routine basis.

Among such features are the ability to step ahead and backwards when utilizing playback in frame by frame viewing mode. This allows for far more precise capture of individual frames when breaking down complex sequences or action segments for granular study and/or production of instructional videos, creation of icons for specific videos and how-to-type step-by-step manuals, etc.

I have hoped for this feature for a very long time and I'm grateful for all of the continued development and new features that are brought to MX Player Pro! This is my daily driver on Android and has been since at least 2010 or 2011.

With the addition of a frame by frame advancement feature, the next logical request is the addition of a frame capture feature that would swiftly save a PNG or JPEG to a user-selectable folder on internal or external memory source using a user-definable file naming convention that could include several readily available elements--time & date, video title, video frame timestamp, incrementing alphanumeric value(s), etc.

These are my immediate requests, though I have a few others, which are less pressing but still remain very much on my list of future "wishes" for MX Player Pro. Thanks in advance for your consideration and for so many years of awesome video playback on Android devices big and small.
[MX Player] NigelSan:
