[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] berre:
Hi all,

I swapped my S9 for an S10 a couple of days ago

Overall seems to be a (slightly) better phone, love the fingerprint at the front (been missing that since my S7) but what has been bothering the hell out of me is the camera

I have 2 boys, 2 and 5 years old so taking pictures has always been a challenge but the sports mode on the S9 did a good job

Sports mode has apparently been removed from the S10 :rolleyes: and the normal camera mode almost always results in blurry pictures

This is a company phone and I chose the S10 because of the good camera reviews, I can't return it so I'm stuck with this thing

Any young dads or chihuahua owners found a way to take decent shots of their Small Moving Objects?

Tried pro mode but it's always something, conditions vary off course and I tried to explain to my youngest that I had to correct the ISO but he just farted

Burst mode is not my thing neither, I take a lot of pictures so if I have to find the best one every time after I take a photo I'm guaranteed to lose one of the little buggers (again)... just kidding, I knew exactly where he was *cough*

Have GCAM installed from https://koopahtmaniac.com/index.php but I'm not sure on this thing, a whole lot of settings and seems to crash sometimes... shutter speed seems fine but when I load one of the configs for s10 it suddenly seems to take longer to take a picture

Any help appreciated

Cheers

I fear that after five year of flashing Samsung cell phones i could have finaly bricked it.

I flashed newest rom G970FXXS5CTD1 for G950F (Galaxy S10e) and somehow it can't boot the rom anymore.

Before i was very happy with " Beyond" Android 10 rom but after i flashed the newest firmware it doesn't work anymore.

if i flash G970FXXS5CTD1 with odin it shows android logo with erase and won't boot. I can't flash any bootloader below G970FXXS5CTD1

thats the issue How can i reach to reinstall stock rom. Tried to relock bootloader and flash G970FXXS5CTD1.

Help is very appreciated

Dm verity failed!!

You need EFT pro dongle, there is a option in Samsung tab "fix dm verity"

It will ask for AP file when you flash it will flash rather modified Firmware and you will be ok.

I have EFT pro dongle but i can not share it remotely it's get banned.

So I bought this phone yesterday, stock and no third party app. did a factory reset inserted the simcard and recieved a sms. when screen was off, a green small notification was blinking on left upper part of screen (something like what third party apps like aodnotify do but it was better). I was amazed that samsung finally did something to fill the void of an actual notification Led. but after my second factory reset (after a 450 mb update) the feature was gone!!

I searched every where for it. tried different settings in Aod and edge light and... nothing

can anyone explain this to me? could it be an experimental feature on my stock firmware that was removed from latest update?

thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] DonAndress:
I don't understand it either. I don't have it on screen off but I have it when I charge the phone or answer a call. Weird behavior.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] ninrocket:
That's being used as a proximity sensor I believe to turn the screen on and off during calls. It might also disable the screensaver/always on mode if the phone is face down.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] pooyab:
thanks for the answers.

Edit: that's the proximity sensor as you said which lights up during calls, but I don't know why it was lighting up when there was no app running and the screen was off. odd behavior! perhaps accidental touch detection was acting incorrectly.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsngfrce:
I am having a strange issue on my Galaxy S10e (stock Android 10, AT&T) that I have never seen before. I have found that the antivirus app on my phone will, usually in the morning, perform a real-time scan on a few random Google Play apps on my phone that were not updated. I do not have an SD card , so nothing is remounting. I have auto update in the Play Store turned off. If I check these apps in the Play Store I find that they were not updated, also. Which antivirus I am using does not seem to matter, the same thing happens with both Sophos Intercept X and Avira. I currently have both of them on my phone and they will both report scanning the same apps. The same thing happened when I only had one of them installed. Why is this happening? Has anyone else ever seen this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
[MENTION=4640611]rsngfrce[/MENTION]

A side remark:

Avira Antivirus etc.pp. can't do a full "system scan" due to the limitations of the Android OS, only apps get ( on-access ) scanned. If you install apps off Google Play Store then you can be sure they aren't injected with malware. Google has its own vetting process, called the Build Test Suite ( BTS - launched 2018 ), that checks software housed on their market place for potentially harmful apps.

IMHO you need a tool that scans phone's firmware for issues, because bad manufacturers already may have injected malware into. Every Android device ships with 100 to 400 preinstalled apps. Many of those apps originate not from the company that’s making the physical device, but from third parties that provide the code for various under-the-hood tasks, or from carriers who have a vested interest in everything from messaging to payments.

My POV: AV-progs are basically useless, because a certain amount of time always passes until a malware/virus is detected by Android users, until Avira and competitors get informed, until these companies update their database, until they install an update of their software on the phone. AV-progs only unnecessarily drain the battery because these apps insist on running constantly, and doing various things on its own.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lambort:
Quite interesting post. And what other applications instead Avira can you share for this purpose? I recently read about top antiviruses for Windows 10 in 2020 from https://bestantiviruspro.org/best-antivirus-for-windows-10/ and several apps look good. What is your opinion?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsngfrce:
I removed Avira from my phone because it wasn't doing anything that Sophos Intercept X wasn't doing, and was actually doing less. The main thing I find Sophos Intercept X useful for is downloading apps outside of the Play Store and it will at times notify me that they are PUPs, so I have to decide if I want to keep them or not. I usually check such apps on the VirusTotal website.

I continue to have the same issue with random apps being reported as scanned and Appmgr III will report that the same apps can be moved to SD (if they can), so there is something triggering the apps to think that these apps were installed or updated. This is despite the fact that they were not just installed/updated, nor were they moved to or from the SD card at that time. I have just started living with this.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raiz:
Not to mention that those antivirus apps may also have the reversed effect on your device, because they contain ads and ad trackers most of the time. If you take time to read the privacy policy some antivirus allows third-parties to have a look to some of the data to suggest aimed ads.

The best option would be to install one when you want to check on apks you'll install, then uninstall it right away. And if you're used to install APK mods or those kind of things, I'd say the antivirus detects 70% of viruses, I've had adwares, most of the time, but it could've been worst (hopefully ransomwares weren't that popular back then).

So in short, your best AV is yourself, AV on Android are just not worth it.

Have a good day :svetius:
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jirka607:
Is there any way to force apps in the notch area and not have black bar there I tried the full screen mode in settings and even some immersive mode apps and nothing helped.

Also is there a way to make status bar toggles and notifications smaller? I have set smallest display mode but that only affects menus

Thanks
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] rubiicon59:
Here's what I did on my P30 Pro to make notifications smaller. It works systemwide too.

Open Developer Options, scroll down to DRAWING section, at the bottom is a setting for Smallest width. Increase whatever the number is by an amount of, say, 10dp at a time until you get your desired size and appearance.

After experimenting with values I found that merely increasing from stock value of 423dp to 430dp made a big (smaller) difference.

I also have the text size set @ normal and display size set @ small.
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] jirka607:
Thank you it worked perfectly using it at 432 and it looks just perfect!
[Huawei Mate 20 X Questions & Answers] rubiicon59:
No problem, I'm glad that's helped with part of your solution.

I much prefer smaller font and icons, to me it makes the UI look more polished.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] terrapin4:
I flashed my RM5 with the CN ROM shortly after receiving the phone due to the software limitations of the NA ROM shipped on the device. With the CN ROM I successfully used face unlock. Now after flashing to the newly released global (v3.11) I get an error when trying to register my fingerprint (attached).

Steps taken:

1. Re-flashed CN ROM and attempted to register fingerprint and got the same error

2. Re-installed the new global v3.11

3. Flashed global recovery, boot, splash, parameter, then wiped data & cache. Factory reset. Still get the same error

Interesting to note that upon setup the phone said the fingerprint sensor was on the back.

You need to lock the bootloader to make it work, this will wipe your phone however. It says the fingerprint is on the back because the devs didn't bother fixing the typo in the setup.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] terrapin4:

[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] rat7lol:
Are you sure you're using the correct command? There's "fastboot oem nubia_lock NUBIA_NX659J" and "fastboot flashing lock".

"fastboot flashing unlock" breaks the fingerprint
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] terrapin4:
Yup I'm using "fast boot flashing (un)lock". I've unlocked and relocked now.
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] zayidhs:
Have you tried "fastboot flashing relock"

relock not lock
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] terrapin4:
Yes, it only accepts "fastboot flashing lock".

In any event, no matter if I unlock/relock the bootloader on the CN Rom or switch to the global ROM and do the same the fingerprint error persists. I even installed TWRP again and formatted data and did everything all over again.

Looks like I'm stuck with either face unlock only on CN or no fingerprint on global. :(

Really appreciate all the help though!

[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] JerryYin:
No, the unbrick tool won't help. you need re-calibration the fingerprint sensor.

Currently I'm getting the "Loss of fingerprint calibration data" message when I try to add a fingerprint. This advises me to contact Nubia's after-sales service via the number "4007006600". This device is provided to me directly by Nubia engineers.

I've just tried to run the calibration and have gotten two errors - one being that the number of bad pixels is abnormal (even though the results are below the threshold), and the other being an "Unknown Error" message

Screenshots of results here: https://photos.app.goo.gl/NpfpDUDgSkMmAc187
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] JerryYin:
You need to relock tge bootloader. Or send back to customer for re calibration
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] gamebenchjake:
Hi [MENTION=9092064]JerryYin[/MENTION], The bootloader is locked (never unlocked). The device was sent directly by Nubia Engineering, so I can't send it back (no purchase receipt etc).

The issue seems to be that the device never passes the "CALBRATE_CHECKBOX" test, though everything else passes. If you could provide some insight into what this test is checking, I can finish calibrating it myself
[Nubia Red Magic 5G / 5S  Questions & Answers] JerryYin:
You should find the person who gives you the phone. The fingerprint calibration data will lost only when you try to unlock the bootloader

Can someone help me, I need better clarification on some things.

So the first set of steps involve:

1) 'call' *#9959* and turn off the 'performance'

2) click 'start' and leave to phone/screen alone aka no touching it whats so ever, then I get the following text in image 1.

Now the steps after that have me confused on some things:

Step 2

3) Click 'Next' and the screen will dim abit

Do I have to leave the screen alone or do I have to put my finger immediately after hitting 'next'?

Cause I saw posts about leaving it alone and others saying to put my finger(thumb).

If I put my finger on the screen it gives me an error '0x3A self-exposure abnormal' (as in image 2);

but if I leave it alone it'll give me 'Auto_Exposure' & 'Flesh' tests succeeded (image 3)

I NEED clarification here, am I doing this part wrong by not having my finger on the Fp scanner.

Now for step 3, I have to:

4) click on 'Next' and the phone will do the 'Dark' and 'Dark-Base' tests. The should be left alone here as well. (Image 4)

I need to be in a dark room for this, correct?

Now for the final step

6) Click 'Next' and put my finger back to the screen on the blue FP scanner(?)

When I do this; I end up with '0x14 the number of bad pixels....' (image 5)

Any help is very up appreciated.

Thank you

Thank you for pointing me to that web page. It does help. From what I can tell. It looks like the 1196 is missing band 17. I would be ok at 3G if I am reading this correctly. But, either way. It is a gamble. I am currently using a MVNO called Good2Go. From my current phone. I can see that I am using band 5.

Well, I have a decision to make. I hope my wife does not kill me..lol

I was really hoping someone on AT&t would chime in. Even though it could change depending on the area. I am going to try it..Thank you.
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
Not all notebooks or desktop computers have a built-in web camera. With desktop PC’s, this isn’t that big an issue: as you don’t carry them around, you can just buy an inexpensive, clip-on USB camera and you’re set. Not so with notebooks, UMPC’s or Tablet PC’s – with them, purchasing (and carrying!) a cabled solution might be overly suboptimal. Then, just using your camera-equipped smartphone may turn out to be the best solution; preferably over a wireless connection like Bluetooth. This way, you can avoid having to carry around a separate webcamera. It’s indeed big help!

Setting them up is exactly the same as with setting up traditional USB cameras. This means they’re really easy to use. In general, you just run the installer EXE file on the desktop you’d like to use your phone connected to. Some of the desktop-side (let’s call them server) apps ask for being started at boot-up time. If you aren’t afraid of the additional memory (and possible CPU) use, you can safely allow this; if you are, just untick the checkbox.

1.1 Starting the server on the desktop

After this, whenever you want to use your phone as your webcamera, start the given server on your desktop. That is, start (in the order of discussion), in Start/Programs, start

WebCamera Plus/ WebCamera Plus

Mobiola Web Camera for Windows Mobile / Mobiola Web Camera for Windows Mobile

Mobiola Web Camera for S60 / Mobiola Web Camera for S60

wwigo/ wwigo

SmartCam/Smartcam

After this, most of the apps start waiting and you can directly start the client on your phone and initiate the connection. The exceptions are:

* Mobiola Web Camera for S60, where you may also need to set the connection method:

Note that these radio buttons are completely missing from the Windows Mobile version as it supports fewer ways of connection

* Wwigo, where you need to click the leftmost button, "wwigo video" for the server to be able to receive connection requests:

If you plan to connect via USB cable (and not some kind of wireless connection), you’ll also need to connect and wait for ActiveSync (Windows Mobile) or Nokia PC Suite (S60) to be activated. (This also means that, on S60 phones, you’ll need to select the standard suite transfer mode.)

1.2 Starting the client on the phone

On the phone (the client), you will need to do the following in order to start the connection (in the order of further discussion; first, Windows Mobile titles and, then, Symbian ones):

1.2.1 Windows Mobile

1.2.1.1 WebCamera Plus

In Menu / Source, switch to Front Sensor if you want to use the front camera as your camera. Otherwise, use Camera to switch to the back camera. It’s also here that you can en/disable sound capture (using which isn’t recommended if you already have a mike built-in into your desktop because, at least in my case, the transferred sound was much choppier than with using the built-in mike of my TC1100):

In Menu / Settings / Camera, you can set a lot of goodies like saturation, rotation, mirror, resolution, quality:
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
If you plan to use WebCamera Plus via USB or Bluetooth (both via an active ActiveSync, previusly-started connection), there isn’t anything else to do – just click Start. If, on the other hand, you use a wireless TCP/IP connection (either BT PAN – if your phone supports it at all –, Wi-Fi p2p or even long-distance TCP/IP connections like GPRS), you will need to set the (local network) IP address of your desktop. You can do this in Menu / Settings / Network:

1.2.1.2 Mobiola Web Camera for Windows Mobile

Start the server and, then, the client. Go to Menu / Connect / ActiveSync to connect via either USB or Bluetooth or Menu / Connect / Wi-Fi if connecting via a Wi-Fi p2p network:

1.2.2 Symbian

1.2.2.1 Mobiola Web Camera for S60

After starting the server (and selecting the connection method in it), start the client (after connecting it to USB and waiting for Nokia PC Suite to be activated if you want to go the cabled route) and go to Options / Connect. There, select the connection method (which, again, must match the desktop setting):

When connecting via Bluetooth, you’ll be offered the standard Bluetooth device selection screen:

Note that you’ll also need to use the left/right cursor keys to switch between front/back cameras (and screens, if you want to transfer your screen content only).
[General Topics] Menneisyys:
1.2.2.2 WWigo

Start the server (and click leftmost "wwigo video" button). On the client, you can, as is explained HERE, safely cancel the initial access point request screen (which would only download ads to be displayed) with a right softkey (cancel). Then, go to Options / Settings and select Camera1 if you want to use the front (and not the back) camera:

(Unfortunately, this setting isn’t permanent.) Then, go to Options / Connect and select your already-paired desktop in the standard Bluetooth selector dialog:

1.2.2.3 SmartCam

After starting the server and the client, on the latter, go to Options / Start:

Select your desktop and you’re set.

1.3 Configuring desktop applications to make use of the connection

You will also need to configure the desktop (for example video-capable messenger) apps to use the (new) video (or even audio) source one-by-one. Here, I show the example of Live Messenger, as you may already know this – after all, this is done in entirely the same way as with setting up a standard USB camera.

Go to Tools / Audio and Video Setup. Click Next two times to get to the audio input dialog. Here, if if you use Ateksoft WebCamera Plus on Windows Mobile, you’ll be able to switch to it as is depicted in the following screenshot:
