What rom, Does your screen go white? Did you hard SPL your Hermes so you can easily change your rom?

We need information to help. All you're saying is you have a problem. Could be hardware or could be software. There is no need to open your Hermes if the problem is in the rom and no point reflashing an OS if the hardware is faulty.

So saying, if your keys were working before you flashed I'd either reflash the OS or try a different one.

If your hardware was playing up then it may be you need to open up and reseat a connection to make sure there is no corrosion affecting it or the connection is not loose because of a drop.

Cheers...:D

i had the first error SHA256 is invalid (I have changed Odin with pa patched Odin -> ok). This error is because i have tried to change service provider.

my second error:

Hey I am having a problem on finding the files for two Samsung s9 I’ll looked everyee we here and can’t find matching ones
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] lch920619x:
We did some simple test with specint06 (self compiled binary, cannot distribute, don't ask me for it)

865 score is about 34, power draw is 2w

990 score is 31, power draw about 4w.

Conclusion is that Samsung really fkup up hard this year and exynos 990 is a total disaster.

RIP all exynos S20 Users(including myself):eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] lch920619x:
To clarify this does not translate to 50% worse battery life.

In fact the real world difference will be much smaller than that. However this does guarantee a significant and noticable difference in battery life and sustained performance.

According to our anecdotal experience S20+ exynos (which I am using now) can do ~5hrs sot in one day and 865 s20+(my friend is using) can do ~7 hrs

And attach simple screenshot of result as proof.

I need to see how it compares to my previous devices on my daily routine, I normally have a good idea then.

Lazy two devices have been decent for battery.

One of the Exynos 990 core use old A76 architecture. While Snapdragon 865 use newer A77 architecture. possibility of the slow and bad power consumption?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] lch920619x:
Can confirm. I was using a sd s10+ before switching to exynos S20+

In light use like Twitter, chrome, WhatsApp, s10+ practically does not heat up. However s20+ will get warm in a few minutes.

The experience degradation is worrying I would say.

What makes Samsung think it can get away with this kind of ****ty product?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] lch920619x:

A good read from reddit

- about the batterylife of S20/S20+/Ultra, endurance of the Exynos is way below the SD!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] oNyxia:
Most ppl with exynos were actually getting good or decent battery life .. so im not sure if we were checking the same thread. The difference isn't really much and with updates as always it will equalize.

But ofc this is no excuse for Samsung. I'd also rather have the snapdragon.. but hey at least we can root.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:
It was never "equalized" IMHO in the past, the drain was tried to be minimized in a way that to achieve it, even the performance was throttled in the Exynos in the past with updates in the S9's. It is also well known that the Exynos never performed like the SD counterpart in N9, S10's, N10's including overall battery endurance. In the S20's "that gap" might have been reduced but we'll see..

As for root, I don't need it at all. :)

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] shadymnms:
Same could be said for s10 sd vs s10 exynos. Don't use the exynos chipset. It's been this way for generations. If you're outside of the US though, you might have to due to the GSM bands but I'm willing to bet a s20 sd would work fine in most situations.

Are you using 120hz? I mean that's a given to use much more power. It's essentially doubling your SOT if you think about it.

If you don't like the 990 then just buy another phone. No one is forcing your hands to buy it. Lol. Everyone should do some reading online before buying anything, especially if it is expensive.

When a £1400 no compromise phone cannot outpace a phone that costs a 3rd of the amount from last year , it's time to look at your purchase my friend.

The exynos 990 I think would be outpaced by a OnePlus 5 in regards to raw performance, especially in 3D apps. And this is the whole issue..

The 865 is a whole new beast and isn't comparable at all..

Just look at some of the side by side comparisons.

1. Slower

2. Overheats faster

3. Battery is less efficient

4. Cools slower.

5. Throttles faster.

6. Camera is completely different between EX Vs SD

You will also get direct driver updates for the SD which means that void you already have isn't going to get smaller, it's going to get bigger.

That is not just nearly, that is a landslide.

See if you can run the windwaker on your device using the dolphin emulator.

I had a solid 30fps on my OnePlus 5, something the Huawei p20 pro was incapable of.

The S10 also struggled, I would say that you will see more dips below 30fps on the Exynos than on the OnePlus 5 (which was none)

Also having owned a OnePlus 5 im more than aware that benchmarks aren't a very good indication of performance.

If you can find the time, get dolphin (it's free ) and obtain Zelda the windwaker, play through the levels, the 3rd island is where I think you'll struggle, after the forsaken fortress.

Personally I haven't found a harder test for a phone than dolphin.

If it can run that then go for a Wii game. If it runs that then I stand corrected.

Not bashing "your phone" by the way, this isn't a personal dig at "you" this is a theory at this point, backed by experience with a lot of phones, pushing them to the limits and finding their true thresholds.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] mohammed510:
SD835 is ancient. It went through many optimizations and driver updates through the years. Exynos 990 however is new. Hardware wise, the Exynos 990 is faster than SD835 in every way. If there's issues with dolphin then it might be software/driver issues. That's why i won't bother with it and I'll just stick to 3Dmark,Geekbench, Antutu or PCMark.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
Well i have a number of threads on many forums detailing the performance of all my phone's including the OnePlus 5 and I had the OnePlus 5 for less than a year.

To be perfectly honest, the very fact that you're keeping hold of the benchmark theory and that you won't entertain the thought of trying dolphin speaks volumes, mentioning driver updates (which the Mali also gets btw)

Is nothing more than clutching at straws also I tested the 1+5 when if was NEW not after 1/2 years of updates to GPU drivers, the videos are present whenever you need them, I just need someone who has been unfortunate enough to actually go through with an exynos / Mali 77 purchase to test it, I sincerely believe the 835 will win.

There has also been a tonne of work done on dolphin to be highly optimized to work with Mali GPUs, so that is no excuse either, please see my thread in the P20 Pro forum for details on how to get it, how to set it up and what to expect performance wise.

I was able to get respectable frame rates on the Pro by using swap torpedo to eliminate zRAM /swap storage, but without it it was awful, even with it it was behind the 1+5.

And that's the last I'll say on the matter, I can't be bothered with a back and forth tit for tat I've got better things to do with my life than attempt to amend delusion, considering you won't test it yourself? Or did you and it fell flat on its arse so you decided to say you'll stick with benchmarks?

Lol either way I couldn't care less, I've nothing to lose either way.

PS: the 835 btw provided me with an SOT of 14 hours 47 minutes over a 2 day charge cycle, I have a thread called screen on time leaderboard in the OnePlus 5 forum, so ancient yes, better stamina than the ultra? Absolutely.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] Duncan1982:
Seriously as much as I am with the whole (Ditch the Exynos) or at least make it on par with the Snapdragon Soc.

Your talking about an emulator, there are varying factors, from a coding perspective, yes you say that these have been done, but somewhere Samsung might have code that conflicts and or effects. Maybe not , maybe the 990 is terrible.

I never use emulation so really its a non issue for me personally, but I have used on various devices, and on each device it HAS been different.

You may have valid points great......and if the S20 Ultra (Exynos) isn't for you then I don't see why it needs to be argued further (put it to bed) I agree the Exynos probably isn't on par with the 865, this is wrong ......Samsung needs to address this.

However I got my S20 Ultra today all seems fine .......I'm at 53% with 4hrs 38mins SOT, thats at 120hz, so yeah that is decent, not expecting 16hrs SOT or for it to be leading the pack.

So Exynos 990 is poor the 5T (835) whips it A** hmm I don't think that running an emulator somewhat confirms this theory ? but if you say so then ok be happy and smile with that.......feel good and accomplished ?

No seriously though real world issues and all that jazz :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] ALEXRUSS55:
Good day all! I downloaded and booted up Windwaker on my note 8 with Exynos 8895 using Dolphin emulator, I played through the first level and no issues other than the ocasional frame rate drop from 30 to 25. No issues yet playing it as it it smooth 95% of the time, unlike with Zelda twin princess it was unplayable.

The only reason I am considering the international s20 ultra exynos version is because of the custom roms, YouTube add removals etc.. I love being able to tweak the phone to my preference and have fast updates. I've been doing this for about 11 years now.

I've considered one plus but the lack of screen size, wireless charging, power share, and most importantly SD card support (I once had a galaxy s6 with no SD card and lost all of my information on a bad flash.. With an SD card it doesn't matter because it will all be safe, can't go to a phone with ought it)

Is the exynos on the s20 ultra really that bad? Will the pictures suffer greatly? Wait for note 20? Even though rumors suggest it will have the same processor as the s20. Thank you all
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] MrPhilo:
You know your point are quite wrong... Dolphin performs well for Adreno GPU because it's a lot more optimized for it compared to Mali GPU. While GPU benchmark target various of different GPU in a fair way.

Needless to say it's more of a software problem for the Mali GPU for Dolphin not because it's a weaker GPU as you suggest. Aslong as the developer optimizes the software, it sure will run better on Mali.

All your benchmark and various research are quite weak to say. Your 14 hours is done with probably various of tweak instead off using your phone as a normal person. Plus there's other factors like screen size, resolution etc.

Thank you, appreciate it.

The first map isn't a problem as there isn't much rendered, I actually got my HTC 10 to run that map. Albeit with extreme overclocking and certain tweaks (I have a thread in the HTC 10 section detailing it).

It's usually the 2nd and 3rd maps, forsaken fortress and windfall. HTC 10 had no chance, oneplus blasted through them all.

The note 20 will have the same CPU / GPU but with some updates.

Paragraph 1 = wrong

[youtube]LX6_yW4txjA[/youtube]

Paragraph 2 = wrong

It is categorically a weaker GPU, not a GPU without updates, huawei sold everyone that crap, "we can update it in due course" true but they don't and neither will Samsung, not to anything close to the 865 or the 855.

Paragraph 3 = wrong again

Yes there are, please see the above paragraph 1 response, leaps and strides have been taken to get Mali back up to speed, phenomenal what they've done.

P2

You don't use emulation? So you can't back what you're saying with real world experience?

P3

It isn't for me no, and 20,000+ people are right behind me, I understand being butthurt about buying an expensive phone then someone saying it'll be outpaced by something supposedly weaker, I do get that, but doesn't make them wrong :D

P4

I didn't say that, I said that I thought that the OnePlus 5 not 5T would probably outpace it.

P5

Totally agree, it pales in comparison, but money is money and 2 years is a long time to regret a purchase, guess it'll be worth checking in then.

Summary.

Jesus, people do not like to hear their devices getting panned so they, so overprotective.

If you enjoy your ultra, then I'm very happy, I hope it gets better and I'm sure it will to a degree, hope you're all safe and well and enjoying your phone's in the safety and search for non boredom of self isolation.

When you clearly can't understand what I mean your probs in the late 30's right?

You used an old video to compare Mali GPU to Adreno which is using a way older version of Dolphin. You should be using something more current to compare.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] dlads:
No no no.

Seriously?

What is the title of the video.? That is a video showing dolphin keeping up with Snapdragon.

Historically dolphin has not been well optimized for Mali chips, which is understandable, however this chap who I think is call Zhang Wei has made a version of dolphin OPTIMIZED for Mali chips.

What I'm saying is. It runs extremely well, lol please read what I'm saying to you..

I'm not showing a video from 2018 to say this is how badly a Mali performs, I'm saying that in re: to the response that Mali isn't optimized for dolphin, this is to state that it is.

Dolphin has a version for the Mali and it performs very well, that was all.

3 replies to get that point across?

Also what has my age got to do with anything?? Seriously? Are you in your 20s?

YES IN 2018! NOT now, hello, i'm talking about the current Dolphin isn't optimized with Mali, it has been like that for a while since 2019. The past means jack all when the current isn't optimized as the Adreno.

The way you reply is typical around your age group. If you've studied around this area its obvious to tell whose age is who roughly and I can see how some points wont get across to you due to your age. It's like talking to a wall.
