That's my understanding too. Ultra bright areas confuse the software. I reported it to their support team. Maybe there will be a fix. Am sure if more people will encounter it as soon as they go to a beach it will be reported and hopefully we get a fix. Wide lens on such scenery is a must anyways.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] GadgetHolic:
Hello guys, my phone is bricked for 2 days now after i flash stock firmware. it fails to system.img (I dont know what happened maybe i installed wrong variant) Phone written at the back G930FD so i flashed the G030FD one. then i tried to flash the G930F but still failed :confused: Now i tried to install TWRP and succeed. then when i look at the /data it has 0mb so i changed it from ext4 to ext2 then it displayed some digits now from 0, but still failed to flash stock and has bootloop if i install a custom rom. (the day ends there) on the next day, tried to change it to ext4 to exFat now it gets worsed its stuck with formatting.. and i can't turn it off, so waited it ro ran out of battery. after i pugged it and boot itself, its now stuck in TWRP logo and still fail to flash via Odin. the only way that i can see is to restore it via Smart Switch Emergency Software Recovery with recovery code?

[IMG="ES asking recovery code"]https://www.cutemobiletech.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/12/smart-switch-update-backup-12.jpg[/IMG]

so guys it would be appreciated if you can give me fresh back up file. or do you have guys any idea how can i fix this? PS: its lock down right now so i can't send it to repair shop yet and i don't have spare money to buy a new one :(

A Smartswitch backup won't do you any good. It looks more like the partitiontable is busted. Use Heimdall and dump the pit and look if it checks out.

It's a seemingly new issue since the s8s or so. Been popping up. Some say software issue. Others say hardware. Of it's under warranty send it back
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Benjaa20:
Well I fixed some s8+'s on my job and its a bit common seeing screens with that kind of problems. Sadly is a hardware thing and theres no way to fix it than replacing it. I dont know how to say it but its called "Traslucent" in spanish (or at least on my job) but i heard some ppl call it Phantom Screen, Shadow Screen, or Burned Screen. It happens when you let the screen in the same image or repetitive amount of times that the Panel gets that aspect. I read that's because the leds on Amoled screens that cant get back to the right state of color, but you should investigate my words if you want better info lol.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ctp9:
Hello,

Newbie question here coming from someone with Exynos model SM-G988B/DS (purchased while visiting Singapore):

Can I make this phone fully compatible with North American carriers? I'd like to use Wi-Fi Calling and VoLTE - but my Canadian carrier says that this phone is not eligible for these services because it's not a North American variant. A USSD code provided by my carrier was not successful (it said "invalid MMI code").

Even though I'm not entirely comfortable flashing different firmware onto Samsung phones - in this case I am desperate to do it (if it can be done to achieve my purpose at all...)

Now I'm kicking myself... wishing I knew that these calling features might not work back in Canada.

Thank you for your advice.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] vash_h:
this is odd.. my phone is purchased in Malaysia, the country north of Singapore, and we have different CSC codes.

Wi-fi calling and VoLTE is working fine when i am in Singapore using a Singaporean SIM Card and when i back home in Malaysia using my Malaysian SIM Card. (But this is on the Samsung Note 8, have not gone to Singapore since i got my S20+ shortly before Malaysia shut down the borders due to the Covid-19 outbreak)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] bluelavender:
Short answer = you can't. You will need to change the "region key" (csc) by using samkey. If you flash the firmware belonging to different region with different csc code, you will not get any ota update at all. Therefore you must flash the firmware of, say, Canadian region, as well as changing the CSC to same set that Canada uses.

However: do *take note*, do *not* flash snapdragon firmware to exynos set vice versa.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ctp9:
Yours works because those countries are still within the same region.

You're saying it cannot be done but then are telling me that it can be done using samkey. So which is it? Can I not flash North American firmware with the appropriate CSC?

This is obvious - I would never do such a thing.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] mikey_sk:
As its an exynos device it won't play well with usa networks and you cannot flash snapdragon firmware obviously. If you were in Europe this would have been easily done by changing the csc to say UK BTU via samkey and flashing the BTU firmware etc. Usa is a more complicated given the bands are different over there. Also you probably won't get carrier aggregation and volte / WiFi calling is a lottery! Plus usa networks aren't as chilled out as the rest of the world and have hissy fits if you don't use their branded devices. Charge way more than most other countries too! ?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] bluelavender:
Not exactly. I'm in Singapore, using Taiwan set, with HK firmware & csc. It's 3 different regions

i'm saying it cannot be done by just flashing firmware like your original question

You *must* do both: update firmware *and* change csc. Now Samsung has locked the csc changing. You can no longer change csc by just flashing firmware of different region. It won't work. Change csc, then flash the firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] vash_h:
It is different region as the csc is different.

In your case it is complicated. You can try to flash in your local csc file via odin. Just the csc file nothing else. See if it will work.

The firmware for exynos and snapdragon variants is very different.

---------- Post added at 04:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:44 AM ----------

He cannot and must not flash sd firmware into exynos phone. It'll brick the phone. Taiwan and hk is sd variant.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ctp9:
Ok - thank you for your responses so far.

So what is the absolute best thing that could be done in order to be *the most* compatible with North American carriers? What CSC should I be aiming for and which firmware to be exact? Could someone please link me to the appropriate files? I'll do my research once I have an idea of what to start with. (If it won't work - I obviously won't bother with it... but I think I should do some more research before I completely give up...)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] bluelavender:
Yes, I advised him same thing in my earlier post above. sd & exynos rom is not interchangeable.

---------- Post added at 05:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:48 AM ----------

you're in tough luck. USA bands are different from most of the world (https://sea.pcmag.com/smartphones/3...-americas-first-unlocked-all-carrier-5g-phone). To top it off, your set is exynos, and even if you can get firmware that works for USA set, it is most likely will be in snapdragon.

Btw, exynos version will never support mmwave in USA carriers, simply because exynos version does not have mmwave antenna.

I would suggest you sell that exynos set / exchange it to snapdragon set. With snapdragon, you have more luck finding compatible firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] ctp9:
Well... I cannot particularly exchange this device now that I'm in Canada and I've had it for over a month. And no one here would want to buy it since it's not local to the continent. I'm stuck with it here now.

I'll just use it for a year and then get some other new phone next year that's local to my region. There's a few other things I do not like about this latest Galaxy anyway... and I cannot see myself using it for longer than a year. What a pity though - I used to be such a die hard Samsung fan until this latest flagship. They screwed up so many things, namely - the battery life and camera quality.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] bluelavender:
That's precisely why I do not want to use local version here, which is exynos, the one you brought there.. snapdragon version is *miles ahead* and really is the flagship quality. I don't have issue with camera, the battery is insanely efficient (I have 2 WhatsApp, 2 telegram, email real-time-push, wechat, line, fb, etc) and I only drain 4% per 8 hours at night with all notifications still coming in

Yes, that's the snapdragon version, the real s20 flagship.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] vash_h:
Try switching off 120hz. I'm happy with my 60Hz. Battery is pretty good, i usually unplig my charger at 630am.. It'll last me to 10pm with about 30% charge left.

This includes occasional messaging on telegram and whatsapp, some email checking and Facebook browsing. Working hours I'll be on office wifi. Lunch hour and after work 530pm to 630pm is my pokemon go hour which is the only time my wife let's me play games.

My phone is s20+ 4G variant, usually on 4G+, dual sim and 1 micro sd card (one of the sim is the esim). My display is at wqhd+ at 60Hz.

So far im happy with the battery life.

Just this morning, taking advantage of my wifes absence, did some gaming, namely war machines, the tank fps game and pokemon go.. From 630am to 1130am, Facebook and tiktok when I'm preparing and eating my breakfast. my phone is left with 60% charge.

Hello,

I would buy Snapdragon / Hong Kong version because I hate Exynos problems, but I'm a bit confused about CSC.

I've read the topic, and I understood that I can't flash Exynos (European) firmware on the Snapdragon / Hong Kong version.

Some people bought Hong Kong version and works very well in my country frequencies, but I would use Samsung Pay.

What will happen if I change CSC/flash to any european CSC? It would work or not?

Thank you a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] vash_h:

Make sure the stock rom is from the same structure, Snapdragon to Snapdragon & Exynos to Exynos

Currently still waiting on the dates from the site but they have a section already set up for the Touch Pro (Raphael) and assure me they are offering preorders once they have more info from HTC. Bought my Hermes from them and they were excellent to deal with.

This was a responce back in June, theyve been really good before so there must be a delay getting info from HTC perhaps.

Usually yes and yes. But what would be the point if you get the Euro version to use in the 'States (I'm assuming it'll be primarily used in the 'States, right?) when it won't support AT&T's 3G frequencies? It'll still work, but you'd be running on EDGE at best and for a phone like this, it's a little silly...

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] mlekas:
Expansys USA has it listed...

so it will come to US shores:

http://www.expansys-usa.com/d.aspx?i=169845

Release date is listed as 4th August. Note the radio data:

HSDPA/WCDMA:

- Europe/Asia: 900/2100 MHz

- Up to 384 kbps up-link and 7.2 Mbps down-link speeds

* Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE: 850/900/1800/1900 MHz (Band frequency and data speed are operator dependent)

So this suggests HSDPA but not UPA. Also shows Quad-band GSM, but then has that odd parenthetical comment about operators...

So do these frequencies support US (e.g. AT&T) HSDPA? GSM seems to be covered.

M
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Squeaky369:
Yeah; it doesn't look like it will be US 3G compatible. Which sucks; a lot.

I think the US 3G is at 850 MHz... And the world bands are the 900/2100MHz. I know that GSM/GPRS/EDGE runs on 850 already, but that's how the US is...
