Thanks,

So from existenz, I'd need to use Xperia firm to get latest firmware and flash it with newflasher?
[Sony Xperia XZ2 Guides, News, & Discussion] MartinX3:
you're welcome

Yes

The existenz thread contains the needed firmware version

And exactly this need to get flashed

.672 has no working twrp atm

but the previous firmware has

So if existence may want the .672, then you may need to wait for the next twrp update

Is it normal, that the S20 lineup does not have any firmware available - yet? I really do not remember what this was like with the S8 upwards. Will it be available later or did Samsung change something fundamentally?

Thanks :)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] corwin_amber:
OK, so, to kind of answer my own question:

OXM Firmware (Exynos) seems to be SM-G988B this time, not SM-G988F like - like all the time? I am unsure and will keep looking.

Does anybody know the variants? U, U1 for NA Snapdragon, N for Asian Snapdragon, W - ? And B for Exynos? Is that right? I found an artivle here, it mentions SM-G975F, but nothinf really saying about it:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] anoano:
Since I upgraded my TyTN II to official HTC WM 6.1 ROM French, I noticed the following new big files in the Windows folder:

- EngDict.dat (947 Ko)

- EupDict.dat (1,49 Mo).

They are not system files.

I didn't install any additional dictionaries and couldn't find these file names in the forum or on Google.

Questions:

1) Does anybody also have these files?

2) They are obviously dictionaries (full of words) but what are they used for?

3) Can they be deleted without problems?

Thanks for your help.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] misfitflt:
I don't have either file in the Windows directory on my AT&T standard ROM.

I would consider renaming the files (or copying them to backup and deleting them.) I wonder if they came as part of another install you did.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jackleung:
They are the dictionary for T9
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] anoano:
Hi misfitflt and jackleung,

Thanks very much for your quick answers.

As I don't use T9, I will keep a backup and then delete them.
[Off-topic] Rainmaker91:
So ever since the whole Huawei debacle started I have been eying a new phone. I originally got my Mate 10 Pro due to it's mix of specs and affordability, and I have been quite happy with it. However the lack of a possibility for me to unlock the bootloader and subsequently root and flash the thing is proving to be quite the annoyance. Especially considering the precarious position Huawei is in regards to what can and can't be used from American companies.

So with that in mind, I am keeping my eyes open for a new phone. It doesn't have to be the latest model and if in good condition I might even consider buying used (though a used one would get a thorough bath in alcohol for peace of mind). Especially considering that I am more than happy with the current specs of my phone and would be happy with something of similar or better performance. Do you guys have any ideas on what models would be best to look at for a wide following on the forum and in terms of the ability to root and install custom roms? I have been looking at the obvious answers such as Google Pixel phones so far, and I understand that Oneplus are well liked.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

A quick summary of my current phone specs (of which a new phone has to be either equivalent or better):

- 1080x2160 resolution

- 6gb ram (4gb is probably fine though)

- 128gb storage (if the alternative has an SD card slot I will be fine with 64gb)

- Kirin 970 SOC (Geekbench score: SC:355 MC:1371)

- Decent 12MP camera (the MP is inconsequential, but an ok camera would be nice)

- 6" screen (Mainly I can't go above roughly 75mm width on the phone, and anything below 5" would be small)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] vash_h:
Hi All,

I just took delivery of the S20+

Mine came with 1 esim, 1 dedicated simcard slot (SIM1)and 1 simcard/sdcard (SIM2) hybrid tray.

went ahead to sign up for esim for the network i use most often.

Now, i have a question. What happens if i factory reset the phone. will the esim "profiles" remain or do i need to drop by the network provider and request another esim activation code?

This is because i have the habit of performing a factory reset on my android phones after a major firmware update, or every 6 months (or if i feel the phone feel sluggish).

Any idea guys? i cant seem to find information on this anywhere. is the esim data stored on the phone data or in the esim itself.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] vash_h:
aah.. found it.. if you go to the setting to factory data reset, at the bottom there is a checkbox to select if you want to retain the esim. tick if you do not want to.. and it is unticked by default (keep your esim data)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] sprke:
Apparently the unlocked US version don’t have eSIM?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Eddie Hicks:
My unlocked S20+ didn't come with a sim card. I used the Verizon sim card from my S9+ in it. Works perfectly. If you go to Verizon and ask for a sim card for your new phone, they charge you like $40 for activation. I paid nothing.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] vash_h:
U can check it out on your phone settings.

Go to settings - connections - SIM card manager.

If your device has esim, you will see SIM cards section and a Esim section.

I attached how mine looks like. View attachment 4967275
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] LAKEPOWELL:
Is it possible to use 2 sim cards AND an eSIM, thus allowing to have 3 phones lines ?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Franzferdinan51:
That doesn't show up on my unlocked S20+ 5G US variant
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] riz157:
That's pretty neat having both hybrid and esim.

Essentially you could have 1 esim and sim card plus sd card.

I've ordered mine from Vodafone hope it has the same options.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] vash_h:
Then I guess yours do not come with esim..

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] tim84us:
vodafone UK doesnt support esim on their phones yet (and they didnt sound keen on changing that soon) which is crazy but i think they are afraid people will start using dual networks and they're not happy about that
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] riz157:
Glad I bought S20 plus rather then waiting for the ultra version.

More sleek and practical.

Vodafone phones come with esim option also for those who might be wondering.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] vash_h:
Nope. Only 2. But u can have both sims and registered esim profile in the phone but at any time only 2 can be active.

To be precise only esim and sim1 or sim1 and sim2. Sim2 can't be used together with esim.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] capricrn1232903:
I bought an S20 plus from Samsung and on the box there are two IME numbers. Just one IME is showing in settings. Does this mean it is software disabled? If so I wonder when, and if, the will activate it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] vash_h:
Will be useful to know which variant of s20+ you have there. Samsung released many variants.

Single sim

Dual sim

Dual sim with esim

This 3 in 4g and 5g.

Mine is 4g dual sim with esim.

Sm-g985f/ds

Sim2 slot shares same imei with esim.

So I'm using sim1, microsd card and an esim.

Imei won't show up on settings unless it's active. As in having a sim card in slot 2 or esim profile on.

If u don't have esim set up you'll only see the add mobile plan option if your phone supports esim.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] vash_h:
The g986U is American variant with single sim card. It's not the dual sim version im afraid.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] capricrn1232903:
I wonder why it has two IME numbers on the box then. I wonder if it's just software disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] vash_h:
It could be for the esim. Try going to settings - connections - sim card manager.

Can you screen shot and share here the page? If your phone has esim support, it would show there.

It should look something like this attachment.

Esim is what I was be referring to. Apologies if I wasn't clear on that. And no there is no sim card manager. The two IME numbers tell me it is capable of it at least. It's just not turned on
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] vash_h:
I am sorry then, it may be locked by verizon.

You might want to check with verizon on this. A quick search at verizon, you'll need to set up esim service with verizon first before you can add the esim, which seems to be a complicated process.

Samsung tends to do this. For example, carrier related functions is missing if the carrier you are on doesnt support them. Such as wifi calling and VoLTE.

I know verizon has esim but it may not be availabke to you as you need to request for it. For me, i just need to pop by my carrier to request to transfer my current sim into esim, i just scan the qr code they provided and thats it. It's working.

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ducklord:
Howdy! I'm torn between buying a Poco F1, Mi 9 Lite or Mi 8 Pro, and was checking here to see which of the phones has more support from the community. It seems like the Poco F1 is the winner, BUT... I'm worried in that in two or three ROM threads I checked, it's suggested "you flash the nano Google Apps". Why is that? I mean, in past phones of mine, like the HTC Desire or the OnePlus One, and if I remember correctly, you could repartition your storage to get more space for the system partition. This way you could flash normal-sized Google Apps. Is the Poco F1 - and other phones by Xiaomi - stuck at a specific size, with only the nano version flashable?

And if yes, doesn't that mean that in, say, six months or one year, when those apps will have grown even larger, not even the nano version will fit and you'll have to go even smaller?

I don't want to buy a phone for which new ROMs will feel too restricted, or you'll have to jump through major hoops to flash, one year down the road.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sotosgolf:
There's no system space restriction whatsoever, neither do you need to repartition the storage.

Nano gapps are suggested mostly because there are some ROMs that encounter bugs with richer gapps

and because opengapps support only up to nano-gapps for Android 10 for now
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ducklord:
Ah,I see! Thanks for the clarification! If it's not too much, or against the rules, which one of those phones would you believe would be better in the long run? I've already bought a Mi 9 Lite for my wife, and I love its display, but the Poco (and, up to a point, the Mi 8 Pro) have better CPU/GPU and support here. For some reason, I don't see the Mi 9 Lite "catching up over here" - its forums seem baren compared to the other ones. But, damn, that screen... :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sotosgolf:
I own the poco for about a year and i have bought mi 9T for my wife (same as the lite, but with submersible camera).

Screen difference is great.

The notch is a large disadvantage for the poco and many good ROMs break the deal for me, with how they use the space it leaves.

Sound is a bit better on mi9t

I don't think photos (with gcam) have much difference between the two, except telephoto.

I am very satisfied with the poco but i have to let you know that:

1. If you're not gaming i'd suggest mi9 lite/t

2. I get 7-8 hours SOT without performance restrictions, so if you choose the mi8, i guess that you'll get ~5-6h SOT with the smaller battery and the led (if that helps)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ducklord:
Thanks for the quick and extensive reply!

Although I fancy myself a gamer, I find that, at over 40, I end up mostly using my phone in other ways - notes, calendar, task management, GPS...

I really-really like my emulators, that's why the Poco F1 and Mi 8 Pro look better, on paper, compared to the Mi 9 Lite. But if I'm to be a realist, the Mi 9 Lite's screen will end up being better in the long run for ogling text, that will end up being 90% of what I use the phone for. And I'll be damned if its lower specs aren't enough to run some SNES or Genesis - era games :)

I only hope there's a hack or something for doubling the size of displayed text. My eyesight's started failing, and the text on its ultra-HD screen, on my wife's phone, is also ultra-small for me. I've read that you can't overdo the DPI settings in the dev options 'cause the whole UI might break.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] sotosgolf:
Android 10 has text size reduce/enlarge inbuilt.

Idk if it's there in miui though.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] ducklord:
My wife's Mi 9 Lite has an option in MIUI, but I found all the three settings it offered small. That's why I enabled the dev options and directly changed the DPI value. But, AFAIK, I can't overdo that - and don't know what the limits are.

By the way, Mi 9 Lite incoming. Thanks for helping me choose.
[Realme X2 Questions & Answers] Perepandel:
Hi,

I've unlocked my bootloader in order to install TWRP. I found a couple of references in the how-to about "re-locking" it:

"Q1: How to relock the bootloader?"

"Q3: Will it affect future OTAs after unlocking?

Secure user data partition may also become inaccessible and you will not be able to get official software upgrades if you unlock the bootloader. Once re-locked the bootloader, users will receive official OTAs again."

So, to my understending, if I want to get official software upgrades, I have to re-lock it again...

My question is: which implications does this have?

Will I lose TWRP functionality?

May I brick my device by doing so? While searching for it, I've found some messages saying "your bootloader has been destroyed" or so and I'm a bit afraid of doing so.

Which is your recommendation? Is it better to leave it unlocked?

Thanks in advance...

Tried them all...

I'm on T-Mobile UK too...

Tried all the roms and radios, having previously worked with Wizard, Artemis, Touch and Kaiser...

The ROMS for the Nike are nowhere near as varied as some for other devices... some of the newer ones have some nice themes and stuff, but IMHO, I always seem to end up with a ROM from and established cooker... I've used Tom's stuff on other devices, and his current Editor ROM is at least as good if not better than anything else around. I'm just trying the Sedna Radio with it, but haven't noticed any difference from the old radio yet.

My requirements aren't much - I run Opera Mini from within a java manager, and the in-cooked Jblend works fine, and as well as standard mail usage, and I launcher for my simple today screen, my main other requirement is SatNav, and TomTom7, IGO8 and Copilot all work fine - TomTom7 is less visually pleasing but is the most responsive and easiest to use in-car, so it's my choice. Bluetooth is fine for both GPS and my car stereo, so I can't really find anything in Tom's ROM to man about (except the missing GPRS icon!)
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] cassio:
is the sedna radio better? also, just curious, why opera mini not opera mobile 9.5?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] the_fish:

Opera Mini is faster and more useable. For 'normal' use, eg looking at message boards, forums, news etc, opera mini is super fast and easy to use. It does the rendering very quickly, and is simple and smooth... Opera Mobile is a bit slower and less useable, but still better than IE!

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cristimnt:
Hello,

I'm using the 4k stick for torrenting and also connect ssh to it. The problem is that after some hours I cannot remote connect to the device because it is in some sleep state.

I disabled sleep from the UI and messed with below settings but it did not help. After some time the stick goes offline.

settings put system screen_off_timeout 2147460000

settings put secure sleep_timeout 0

After some more research I've found that it might be a feature of the stick that puts it to sleep mode after the TV is switched off. The only workaround found is hacking the HDMI adapter so the stick will not know the state of the tv.

Does anyone know how to have the stick permanently available?
