[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] allklrnoflr:
Said I was going to skip this year, $650 for my 10+ and $200 in preorder credit had me hit the buy button. Something seems off on the math, it looks like they gave me $710 for my trade in. Got the 512gb Tmobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] force70:
i was all in 100% until I went to pre order and no 512gb in mystic bronze.....im totally pissed.

plus its not quite as ultra as the S20 ultra...less battery, technically lesser cameras and less ram. yes i know why...faster storage, optimized etc etc but the Note is supposed to be THE flagship...doesnt seem like it.

now im not so sure...may opt for the fold 2...its the colour thing that really pisses me off though
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] oneandroidnut:
Got mine ordered tonight!! Didn't do trade in because was a hassle with S20 and trade in. Will sell my note 10 plus if I fall in love. Also the 14 day return period ends Sept 2nd the day after the new Fold will be full released. I may go with it who knows!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] SteveyJack:
Traded in my Note 10+ on the upgrade program for the 512GB in Mystic Black. Trying to get the Buds swapped to Mystic Black too instead of Mystic Pink.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] pigglett:
Thought only the gender neutral sorry mystic bronze were available as a pre order freebie
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] SteveyJack:
Probably the case but you don't get if you don't ask :good:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] bitpushr:
I too like the face unlock, this won't be on the Note 20 Ultra? But with my Pixel 4 XL, the battery is really bad. Quite often I can't make it a full day.

Been out of the Samsung ecosystem for a while, so I'm curious what the Note 20 Ultra will bring to the table!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Notefan161:
Ordered the 256GB model here with buds live.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
Got my pre order and payment in today on the 512Gb model. Shocked that black is the only color for 512Gb but it is what it is. Got the military discount, which isn't much but I'll take what I can get.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Birdsfan:
Face unlock will be available on the Note but not the secure method Project Soli added to the Pixel 4 so you can't use it for your banking apps. My experience with the battery on the XL really isn't bad, I would consider it to be about a B. I have the brightness turned up into the low 80's and I'm off the charger from 7:00AM and I'm leaving work at 4:30 with usually 60/70 percent left. I use my phone mostly for calls and texting while in my office but I still use it quite a bit.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] advocate2:
I had a little difficulty understanding the invoice for my Ultra but just received the following email from Sammy:

Due to a technical glitch, the $50 Reserve credit was not applied on your order and you were charged $50 extra.

Refund of the $50 will be done as soon as your Note20 device ships.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] d_ganggreen:
How did you get 256GB? I only show an option for 128 or 512, and the 512 is black only.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] nuclearrage:
Got the black 512 ultra, trading in my note 9 , can't wait for Aug 21st....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] One4mNoWhere:
I’m getting one, the Ultra. I left after the note 5 and jumped on the iPhone 7plus, I have been on the Apple train for a while. I have been looking to come back, but Note 8 and 9 were slim for me and not wide enough. I have been a Note user from Sprint Note 2 to Note 5. I’m excited to get back on XDA and on the Note, though Samsung is pricing their devices little above Apple.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Elastep:
Pre-ordered 512 black ultra... Hoping for much better camera compared to note 10 plus. And 120hz..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Nastrahl:
I'm skeptical.

I have the Note 10+ 521Gb, but the 20 Ultra doesn't seems to get a lot of improved features over my actual one.

120Hz ? Yeah but it will be an huge battery drainer, and they only improved it to 200mAh more.

We don't know if it will be a real 4500mAh battery or estimated like the Note10+

They only offer 400€ for trading, but their Samsung Care+ and new Galaxy Buds Live are included if pre-ordered, which i don't care much since i already have the Buds+, and i prefer intra ones.

The Note 20 Ultra cost is 1400€, it would have helped more to get 300€ more in trades without the pre-order gifts.

Where i live, the only version will be the Exynos model...

All software improvements will, like the older ones did, be ported on the older phones too.

I need more technical reasons to help me decide.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] sonicsarah:
Going from Note 9 to Note 20 Ultra, 128, Bronze. The main reason I chose Ultra is the expandable memory. I just can't bring myself to commit to full cloud storage, since I don't always have good internet here. Looking forward to all the new camera features and increased processor and RAM.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] acheney1990:
I ordered mine. Coming from the Pixel 4 XL. Also getting the Watch 3, Buds live and a duo wireless charger plus a fast car charger. So going all in. ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] cbutters:
Thanks for posting this... I had the same issue; and noticed samsung sent me the same email after seeing your post.

The 650 trade in+200 credit got me as well as I was interested in getting buds live anyways.

I went from a Note10+ 5G 512GB which I loved the pen and storage space to a S20 Ultra that only had 128GB which was a mistake; the camera was nice; but autofocus is deeply flawed and screwed up so many of my videos.

I ordered the 512GB Black Note 20 Ultra and I'm so happy to get back on a 512GB Note device; I'm hoping that laser autofocus is the real deal.

So 1449.99 - 650 trade in - ~50 youtube and - ~60 spotify -200 for the case and buds live that I would have bought anyways puts me out only 489.99 for the phone itself... not a bad deal if I look at it that way. :P

I can't wait to rock a 1TB device by dropping my 512GB microsd into it; and I've been drawing digital art more lately and I plan to get a lot of practice in using the note in those off times I'm out and about and not in front of my inking device.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Don_Pachuco:
Was pre-registered for early pre-order. Their site/server had some significant overload issues on yesterday's release day. Then somehow Samsung stated that I had a financing account already and couldn't proceed, they neither they, nor TD Bank, which is the backing of their financing, could find any record of an account with my name. I validated further by seeing that there was never any inquiry on any of the 3 credit reporting agencies, by TD Bank retail card services. It got worked out today, so I placed an order for the Note 20 Ultra 512Mb, factory unlocked version in black. Got $250.00 for trade-in on my Note 8, plus $200.00 in free goodies (I chose the UV sterilizer, extra wall charger, black ear buds, and black leather Samsung case). Chose the option of $750.00 guaranteed buy-back if you upgrade in 20 months. Comes out to $33.25 per month, which is $13.00 less per month, had I chosen the AT&T bloat-laden version from AT&T. Have to wait what seems to be 14 to 15 days to receive at this point, but unlike other people's views, it will for sure an upgrade from my Note 8. My wife has the S20+, so I got to play with it when I set it up for hers. I expect similar, if not better performance, and more importantly, NO BLOAT. Now, devs, WHO GOT DEM ROMS YO?... LOL!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] mzsquared:
People outside the US have that option, it's Samsung way to sweeten the deal for Exynos users but forcing US customers to spend $$ for more practical, bigger 1/2TB storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] billinaz:
I ordered 2 128GB black models.

The extra for the 512 is not worth it.

I just received a shipping notice from Sammy via FedEx. Got real excited until I figured out it was just the case.

Went to Samsung and ordered N20 Ultra for AT&T in Black and the 45mm Watch 3. Trade in value for my N10+ $650, and got $200 discount on the Watch. Expected delivery 8/21
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] swaze:
I was going to upgrade however when I went to the sprint website they aren't honoring the galaxy forever program. Apparently the note has a special situation that makes you have to put down $549 in order to upgrade instead of upgrading for free. So no go for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Komatins:
I will going with bronze 256Gb version with buds live as gift and purchase watch 3 too. During last year jumping from Note 10+ to S20 Ultra and not happy with it at all.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the co0kie:
I have a note 10 right now and really wanted a true sequal to the 10. The 10 is the perfect size to me. I feel really disappointed with the this years release, being half the storage and that camera hump is driving me boncurs. I take a lot of notes on my phone and tablet and often have it sitting on my desk when im doing so. I don't want it rocking around and don't want a massive case that flattens the whole back. I wish they put a bigger battery and made the hump less pronounced. Than at-least the extra thickness would be a little more beneficial.

I have an ultra on order but I really don't know if I will keep it. I need a chance to play around with it and feel it in my hands... and I'm not going to put my hands on a display phone right now... especially being in Florida.....
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Saturny:
Pre ordered the Note 20 Ultra tmobile version 128GB bronze on the Shop Samsung app. Traded in my note 9 for $550, & got $150 in freebies. Got three cases (will get the beans later), with a ship date of 8/19. Saved $807.87. Overall total: $809.99 :cool:

When I called tmobile about pre ordering, a rep said they could only give me $158 for the phone plus $342 in credits over two years (ONLY if I walk in a store) even though I have Jump On Demand and paid off the 9 :eek:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] dre22era:
Convinced Sprint/T-Mobile to give me $274 off the $549 down payment
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Sincere11105:
Umm how? Those are usually hardcoded with no wiggle room
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] dre22era:
Sent a group email to T-Mobile CEO and other executives complaining.

Got a call from corporate.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
I preordered the Mystic Bronze last night and used my $150 credit to grab the Buds Live in bronze as well. With expandable storage, I just can't justify the price for the 512GB version, though I considered it. But ultimately, I won't use all that storage with Google Photos and the MicroSD card. Then next year, when I trade this one in on the Note 21(?) Ultra Plus Mega Ultimate Super Plus model, Samsung won't offer any trade-in difference on the 512GB vs the 128GB. At least they haven't in the past.

The cool thing is, they are offering the same $650 for the Note 10 as they are the Note 10+. So I paid $494 for a Note 10 last night, which I'm trading in for $650. Then I'll sell my Note 10+ outright on swappa or locally through the Marketplace for at least $650.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] dre22era:
they issued me a credit back after I made the down payment
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] :
This is it for me for a few years. I've had a bad problem whoring around tons of other phones (including iPhones) over the past couple of years. Trying this and that. Ultimately feeling that the note series, especially now this version, feels way more at home for me. The sharp corners, love the square shape, and the S-Pen is where it's at.

I've done my exploring. I've seen what's out there. This is the tits.
[Huawei Y7 2019 Questions & Answers] amp3rsand:
I just bought a used Y7 2019 on eBay. Is the Google ban going to be an issue for me?

Even if not right now, I am worried it might be in the future. What are my options?

Can I just root the device and install Vanilla Android? How viable/easy is it to do this - and how will it affect the device?

Surely a phone is just a small computer - I should be able to load whatever OS I like, right? or I am being super naive?

Any advice, or suggestions of a good resource to learn about smartphones and stock android installation would be very much appreciated.

To those still going through this nonsense, I saw the green dot start as soon as I upgraded to Android 10 and go away on the 3rd day. Just keep dismissing the message and eventually it disappears.

[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] braillogic:
Hey y'all,

I've been having lots of issues with Wifi on the newest Fire 8. At first I thought it was my Wifi, but every other device was working just fine. Turns out, one the Amazon apps pre-loaded on the phone was causing the issue. Originally I was just using the Fire Toolbox to selectively disable apps, and I ended up disabling everything except Clock, Calculator, etc. (https://xdaforums.com/hd8-hd10/development/official-amazon-fire-toolbox-v1-0-t3889604). But it turns out, if you don't "Disable Everything" related to Amazon this issue occurs. I would try to isolate the application causing the issue (my hunch is maybe on the Clock), but I'm just as happy to be disabling every Amazon app on the device itself.

Also, if you have a Dual-band wifi connection, you may want to try renaming the SSIDs to two different names, or find a way to force the Fire to use a single band.

If anyone else is having the same issue, hope this helps
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Soccerdad91016:
I am having the same issues, extremely flaky wifi connections. I did use the Fire Toolbox and replaced the launcher and loaded Google Play etc... I've been putting off disabling all of the amazon apps as I do actually use Alexa and quite like the Show Mode feature. I'm so exasperated though I might nuke them all anyway.

In regards to the Dual Band comment, I'm curious what band do you connect to Fire 8 to, 5ghz or 2.4ghz?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] braillogic:
Usually I connect 2.4ghz because I'm not close enough to the router for 5ghz. Also, I've found that using Netguard (open-source firewall) to block out Amazon apps helps a little bit. The router I have has some error message when I try to rename the bands, usually hosting a hotspot on another device can usually filter it by a single band
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Soccerdad91016:
I threw the kitchen sink at it yesterday, removed all the Amazon apps, disabled Smart Suspend in the Battery settings, and split my wifi bands with unique names for each band. I am using the 5ghz band since I'm within range most of the time. Initial results are positive. Fingers crossed.
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 General] Daafip:
I 'm having the same issue, even though I disabled all the apps through the toolkit. Enabling, then disableing them all with a couple of reboots didn't seem to help. Using only a 2.4Ghz network seemed to do the trick. I was using dual band wifi and the kindle said it had connected to 5Ghz but wasn't actually loading anything....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] ginko147:
So far I tried one custom rom from FloydQ and one custom kernel from ThunderStorm. I have very poor perfomance on those mentioned using android 10. When I was on stock with 8.1 I didn’t have any problems at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] gav720:
For out-of-the-box smoothness I've tried PixelExperience, and it has no jerks and is super fast.

However, I have a bigger problem, all the new ROMs I've used don't support any of the sensors in the phone, they all seem to be off (gps/rotation/auto brightness).

Maybe the main base they are using is bugged (Lineage?), I don't know, no one else is talking about it, so It might be just my phone.

When LineageOS supported the S7 I had zero issues, but recently nothing works.

[LG G6 Questions and Answers] Alecs1710:
So I was installing twrp and everything went right until it didnt boot to the recovery and from then it keeps booting to lg logo and bootloader warning forever.

I know I can install the stock rom with lg up by I cannot enter download mode since the phone isnt technically turned off. Does anyoene have a solution.

It's my main phone and I literally cannot afford a phone right now.

A way to turn it off would be the solution. Battery was around 70% so it will take a long time to actually have 0%.

Update: I got to the fasboot menu from where I can run fastboot reboot recovery after installing twrp again. Now I have some mounting issues and I cannot flash any zip without entering bootloop. Im trying to use the shut down menu of twrp to try to enter download mode.

2nd Update: solved using lg up with the latest android version.
