[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] VRaju:
Having S20 Exynos.

Very disappointed with S20 after a 3 weeks of use.

Very bad battery performance. looks like I have started to control my ph usage looking at the battery no's declining. hahhahaha very very funny.

phone heats up with min usage( not sure is it cause of summer or exynos. hahaha).But this is true in my case even in indoor usage.

Just few min of use can see temp raise to 37+. If use camera for more than 5 min or so. it goes above 40 & refresh rate drops to 60.

I really don’t understand what Samsung trying to do here. impose on users, who have paid hefty money for their products.

It’s been more than a month. yet we still have to go thru these. Even after their multiple updates

camera not really to Samsung mark to be (compare to previous models.no major improvements).

Only thing which makes me to use over note 10+ is 120hz. Rest not worth the price.

I don’t say the phone is bad, but not worth the upgrade for the price.

At the core I guess Samsung is aware they have screw up the S20 series using exynos.

Hope with Note 20 they will make it up to retain their fans with SD processor. If this is not going happen, then for sure ill also be one of them to say goodbye.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] nowy57:
ideal phone will be pixel 4XL with 5000mAh battery , oh maybe it can be a little biger as s20 ultra - ideal phone to me .
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] tim84us:
buy yourself the one 8pro and you will be better off - wish id done that but rushed into the samsung phones not knowingly how **** they are this year :(
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] arsenal74:
Thanks all.

It is strange but OnePlus's stance on the Always on Display has always really irritated me, not just that they have still not added one but mostly how they have apparently been 'working on it' like forever. It is a feature I like, not a reason to buy or not buy a phone but when all others offer it it does tip the balance. The P40 is amazing and the whole google thing is really frustrating.

I also agree that the Pixel 4 XL is REALLY close to being the best overall droid out there, slightly nicer design, brighter screen and a higher storage option and it would be IMO. On the flip side though the S20 is also REALLY close too.

Out of interest what is the best way to monitor the battery temperature in real time? I'd kind of like to test that.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] yrp888:
I've used Battery Widget Reborn since my HTC Desire days, it has a widget that can be configured for battery temp.

Just put it on the screen next to Accubattery now ...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] cricketgirl90:
Reading alot about exynos version battery life. I have s20+ exynos 4G model. I had note 9 and I felt it had good battery life. Then I got s10+ and the battery anxiety was completely gone. And from s10+ to s20+, I feel battery life is almost the same as my s10+, on 120 hz. I dont disable anything. Using completely stock. No issues what so ever. I get 5 to 6 hrs of battery life if I use the full cycle and standby 16 to 18 hours, with 20% or so remaining.

I tend to stick to 40 to 85% cycle. Developed this habit when I had s10+ since the battery anxiety was gone. I charge twice a day, once in the morning to 85% and once in late afternoon or evening (when it hits around 40%). Not more than 25 to 30 mins each (25W charger works well). So, an hour of charging works for me easily. I think since I have the 4G model I am not getting problems most ppl are.

Also, I don't play games except for one, 2048. Two gmail, two facebook and messenger, two whatsapp, Twitter, snapchat, Instagram. All the office apps.

Camera is better than my s10+. The pictures are sharp and I am very happy with it.

hello could anyone help me ?

my device is stuck in bootloader and its recognized by the PC

this happened when i was trying a cooked rom

IPL 1.09.0001

SPL (ditto)

I searche everywhere an there seem to be only ways out for people with SPL 4.00.xxxx

is there a way out ??

thank you
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] corleno:
sorry fr the bump but i really need help :(

I tried placing the phone in bootloader and installing the official HTC rom

but i get an ERROR 300

and the percentage is stuck at 0 on the screen
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ElProempie:
Try to flash your device with the Stock ROM.

That usually works :D
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] xtc.sanchez:
He already tried this, but it didnt work.

Let me just quote a post from dougstoner:

So the IPL should at least be 4.xx but as you posted yours is 1.xx?! Might this be the issue?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
Unfortunately, a SPL of 1.x after a hardspl/USPL means that the phone has been permanently bricked. Did you try to hardSPL your device or use USPL? They're both only compatible with 4.x SPL's.

I saw that someone recently came up with a way to fix bricked phones. They weren't Heralds, I forgot what they were... They basically found a way to use a buffer overrun on the SPL to launch code so they could launch a patched SPL and reflash... i wonder if our SPL's have that same bug and the method could be applied to us, too.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] xtc.sanchez:
hey,

if my Herald is IPL 1.xxx can I somehow make it a 4.xxx? Or is there no chance to flash other roms? What does the IPL depend on? Production date?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] corleno:
thanks everyone for your patient replies

I guess for IPL 1.x there seems to be no solution as of now !!!

it was actually working initially with touch IT after Hard spl but i wanted to give a try to another version of touch it thats when the device got bricked .
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] xtc.sanchez:
I feel really sorry for you, but dont give up yet. As ivanmmj said, there could be a solution. Just check the forum.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] xtc.sanchez:
I am not sure whether it helps but I did a little search and found severals threads:

Fix Bricked HTC ELF/ELFin

Someone with the same ERROR300 as yours

good luck
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] corleno:
thanks so much mate !!! I will look into it right away
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] corleno:
iv done all the reading

iv heard there was a way to flash the ROM through SD so i did try using

HERAIMG.nbh for the official rom from the HTC website !!

somehow the ROM does not work (invalid rom)

id try a couple of roms !!maybe ill be lucky !!

thanks again xtc.sanchez and everyone else

its been very informative and helpful

all i want is a proper or stock ROM if thats what its called, update my phone, and all the basic stuff.

EDIT: I started trying to change the ROM because app store doesnt work anymore i cant update or download anything the device is literally useless right now.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] L0tnik:
Hi everyone.

I'm writing this for everyone having problems with notification from some apps.

Right now I not receive notification from:

1. Twitter - not at all. And I can't go into setting for Push notifications

2. Gmail - that's funny. I receive one notification a day around 8-9PM.

3. Youtube - no notifications

4. LinkedIn - no notfications

And some specific apps for my country like: Inpost and OLX.

Share what's your experience with that. Maybe we will find solution.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] simonsteele:
I am the same. Only WhatsApp gets notifications. All others don't work
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] future3:
I installed GMS just out of curiosity and had the same issue. It seems like one of the Core functionalities of GMS is still incompatible/not working (Firebase). You'd expect WhatsApp to always work as it uses a separate Push service protocol.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Goronok:
Yeah, Gmail definitely does not work. =/

I have a hunch this is all tied to using such an old version of google account manager. (v4 is only version that still works)
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] matik3789:
This problem is because you are not registered in push notification by gms. Youbhave to choose GMS or push notification for this moment.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] el viento:
Seems like some have got it working, see here: https://mightygadget.co.uk/how-to-install-google-play-storeon-the-huawei-p40-pro-without-notification-errors/
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] MightyGadget:
I wrote that. It was to disable the notification nags you get when you get GMS working - it is not in relation to receiving notifications from apps. I will look into this today though.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] el viento:
Nice work it was a good guide so thanks :). GMS currently running on my P40 pro at the moment no major issues. I did get an error this morning regarding google account services but its gone away and not come back. I also got the autocomplete working on apps just by changing the autofill settings to google and all seems to be working fine (most probably already know this but it may be helpful to some). Only issue i have run into is Netflix is not working with the latest Software update (incompatible device) but I'm sure they will update it soon.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Borh77:
Thank you.

Will it work from a memory card or a usb stick is mandatory ?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] MightyGadget:
I have only done it via USB, but it shouldn't make any difference at all, as long as you get LZ Play and the APKs on the phone it should work fine.

---------- Post added at 08:05 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:50 AM ----------

Play store didn't have Netflix for me, I had to install that via APK Pure, but it works fine for me from there, it will only work in SD though.

I have had the occasional random notification that google can't log in my account, but then it carries on working as normal.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jericho246:
Hey mate, thank you for your work. Just a quick question, do you think Huawei can/will patch these methods in the future? I know they don't allow bootloader unlocking, but they could at least continue to allow people to sideload GMS on their phones. I already ordered a P40 Pro though so it's kinda too late now, but I'm just wondering what people think.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] MightyGadget:
Good question, but there is no way of knowing for sure. I am sure it is possible this method may stop working in the future, but I doubt Huawei would be the ones to prevent it. The general consensus is that neither Huawei or Google wants to be in this situation, Google obviously earns a lot of money from people using their services and Huawei is likely losing a lot of users by not having Google on their phones. The issue will be if Google has political pressure applied to them to stop these workarounds. I don't imagine it is that hard to blacklist devices, or maybe anything running a specific chipset.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jbreaz:
I hope you get this figured out!! Thank you for all you do loving my p40 pro minus certain apps not getting notifications

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] MajestyZ:
Well let's hope they keep it working like this indeed :).

Another question [MENTION=10725877]MightyGadget[/MENTION], what do you think of the security implications using this method, considering the modded apps that are being used etc.? Is it safe to use as a daily driver with all kinds of personal stuff on it?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] leoking3:
With all due respect, what can happen? Who cares about what you and I do on our phones?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Al3xxxinho:
Well, aside from installing some apps that might be stealing your credit card details and username/passwords for other apps there is nothing else really ...

I was too tempted to buy the P40 pro after previously owning the P30 pro, but the lack of google services made me change my mind. It's a brilliant phone, sadly.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] xnostra:
if you really thinking about seucirty or privacy you wont be using google at all that just doesnt mix. im sure google knows more about you than your parents at the moment.

2nd are you not using 2fa for your bank or your accounts? im sure even somebody tries to login your account with 2fa enabled they have like 0.1% they can access it and make payments for you.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Al3xxxinho:
Well, I'm not refering to google, because yes, they know more about me than myself, but when you install the chinese google play services you really don't know what else you are installing. A keylogger would be a fine alternative to steal all your data ... Just a thought.

everything but not push notifications, right?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] iwinarno:
HMS + GMS .. everything is working properly now .. after activate the Always On Display (Setting -> Home screen & wallpaper -> Always On DIsplay -> {turn it on}) .. the simple logic is how to keep your P40 awake but using very small built in resources
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] arkoudi:
I would like to ask the following questions:

1. Do you get notification when a new email comes to your Gmail?

2. What is the sw version you have? I am asking this because you said that everything works fine after the latest update.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] martinegtk:
I don't want to jinx it but I think I have both GMS and notifications working together on my Mate XS. I followed all the instructions from page 7 of this thread, then I reactivated Google Framework. Next I went into Settings > Battery > App Launch and set all the apps I needed push notifications from auto to manual. Now it all seems to work fine. I stumbled across this by chance from a video on Youtube which addresses push notification issues with the P20 which actually had native Google Services. Unfortunately as a new member I can't post a link. But if you search for 'How to fix the Huawei Notification Problem' by JRTech.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] zykozz:
I experience the same thing, Lets see how long it lasts.

As of right now notifications and GMS working.

Hi all,

I'm with HMS+GMS+Icebox and all are working great except... Google apps notifications. I don't receive any notifications from Gmail or YouTube.

Notifications through push notification tester are working.

Has anyone solved the problem?

Another question : is aurora store reliable for install and update? Can I let it auto update apps instead of play store?

Thanks,
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] loudog3114:
I went through this guide successfully but still don't get push notifications. 2 was the only step I wasn't sure on. What do you mean by the applications G?

Nevermind, I see now later in the thread you noted the app with the G icon.

Some work, some dont. Outlook and facebook messenger do, but hangouts does not. Anyone have any luck with hangouts? My friends and I use that as our primary messaging app...
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] arkoudi:
Unfortunately, this cannot be happened! I followed all the steps of page 7. Of course I had notifications, but when I reactivated (unfreeze) the Google Framework, push notifications stopped again.

* In order to unfreeze Google Framework you should do all the procedure from your PC (adb etc). If you just do it from ice box app, you get a message that it is anfrozen but it is not!!!

Using ice box and Aurora and it wants to update Google services. Should I?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jbreaz:
I updated and it didn't help it hurt anything but if you unfreeze framework it might cause problems I haven't tried that yet
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] tejind2005:
still nothing

so means your phone got frozen or you frozen the google framework yourself to install the app Duo. If you did yourself; so how did you do that (frozen google framework) ?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] :
Here is the tutorial :

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=82436653&postcount=65

You freeze the Google service framework with icebox to stop play protect error and get notification working. After that play store won't work so you'll have to install apps from another store like aurora or defrost framework to get back access to play store.

I don't think this one can give any solution to the current problem, as all the google apps needs Google Push Notification service to run.

So, anyone found any new solution in order to have both Google Play activated and push notifications at the same time???

Have you heard if there is any hope in near future to have both of them active or I have to sell my P40 Pro?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jakeslam78:
So far I heard of that only one of the two will work. I bought mine with expectations none of the two would work. Now one of the two works well and I am happy.

You should sell your p40 pro as you have too high expectations.

I got this luck few days ago. After defrosted gsf using adb both push notif and Google play works well . As i remember no Google play error notifications too. BUT... gsf messed up.

Only show exclamation mark.

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] saddameu:
hello, i have tried all of your steps with adb and icebox..., the app tester show notification are working but they don't . Tested with both protonmail and smartthings. Maybe it was patched in the meantime?

EDIT:

Forget the method above, i managed to get both playstore and notifications working.

I reseted my phone and fallowed this here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HAxj0FYgwoY

After completing the method i did get some notification error from play protect but i just manually disabled it and all went fine.

I must say that some apps warn me that google play services are not installed (so far only maps warns me everytime, others just once) but everything works fine, play store works fine

maps works fine, google drive and push notifications are now working, i'm passing the test with the notification tester and protonmail and smartthings and another app that previously wasnt working, have now perfectly fine working notifications !

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jakeslam78:
In my first try of getting Google play store access, I did get play store access successfully with error messages. One of the annoying error messages is "device isn't certified". I dealt the error messages by turning off Play store notifications. All push notifications were fine. For example, I could get Yahoo email access account key push notification. But only limited number of Google apps worked. Most notably Gmail, fit, Gboard didn't work. Maps worked with error messages.

In my second try, using the method of the video you posted above, access to play store is now perfect. No any error messages/warnings. All apps listed above worked. But push notifications were almost completely not working. I tried different ways and still couldn't have push notification working.

To me access to play store with no errors/warnings is more important than having push notifications. So I am happy now.

I know there is icebox approach that could bring back push notifications working. But I am afraid that that might break my current perfect access to play store. This is a wonderful phone and now I have a near perfect setting.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] denzel09:
With icebox approach there is not working geolocalization. Try for example that method with an app different from Gmaps and you will see what i mean :cowboy:
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] jakeslam78:
That is weird. The Gmaps app should be the first one affected the most by not working geolocalization. How it's not affected, or less affected?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] arkoudi:
The method works, indeed. But Push Notifications still not working :(

You can check with youtube (you don't receive notifications), with gmail (no notifications for new emails) and of course with Push Notification Tester app from Play Store (it clearly says: Not Registered for Push Notifications!)
