[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Raydianze:
I'm sticking with my Note 10+. Am very pleased with it and I've only suffered 2% battery degradation in the first year of use. Using it daily 4 to 12 hours screen on time.

I love how thin the device is and the camera bump on the Note 20 Ultra is not acceptable to me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] xSil3nt:
Agreed, the Note 20 Ultra is a bit too overpriced, $1300 for almost no improvement over the previous year's device? No thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TonyGzl92:
How is it possible to measure that? Battery degradation, I've been curious lately about that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Raydianze:
Using AccuBattery. Installed it first thing when I bought my Note 10+
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
When you first set it up, the battery estimate it gives is from the Android system's battery degradation estimates. I have another app that can see it as well.

It's overlay ma meter is useful.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Seriously bro?:eek:

Accubattery isn't accurate at telling you the battery health on current devices. Its a known common fact on here.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
I consider it more a battery charging tool.

It's useful as a charge alarm, for it's milliamp overlay usage and battery temp info.

It's charge history is useful unfortunately it's highest resolution is in minutes.

I divide the total about of milliamps absorbed during the charge cycle by the time it took to gauge battery health. I consider anything above 85 ma@minute good in the 30-70% range.

As the battery degrades I expect this value will decrease.

Lol, the phone's battery life estimate isn't any better.

The app is glitchy, it stops recording charge history.. A reload every now and then solves that. This would make it's long term wear estimates inaccurate even if it's wear curve is accurate.

Short term though it's wear graph gives a good comparative indication of how much you're degrading the battery.

Graphically illustrates why you don't want to charge above 80% or go below 30% very often.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Indeed. As bad as some of it's functionality is, I still use it and have done so since my Note 4 days. This and GSAM are normally the first two apps that get installed on any new Android device that I use.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
Going to start unplugging the charger right after a battery percentage point flips to try to get better than a 60 second resolution for the charge history.

Lol, the first app I install is the package disabler.

Going to try Gsam, Thanks.... see how well it's battery tracker does.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Limeybastard:
Just make sure to remove it off battery optimization. Similar to accubattery pro.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
The only things I have toggle in Device Care are Optimize for power setting and fast charging.

Then I disable Device Care.

Using the old factory load Pie version which has 360° on it. I use it's cache cleaner as it cleans well but I put in airplane mode first.

All buckets show as active in standby apps; no power management is active other than the embedded Android ones. Runs great:)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] oneandroidnut:
Well I am honestly shocked by this. I sort of expected the S20 Ultra not to meet my standards but not the Note 20 Ultra! Decided to stick with my Note 10+ for a bit until maybe Z Fold 2 or Note 20 Ultra drops in price or for another who knows how long.

Anyways thought I would share with you guys why I decided to stick with Note 10+ over the Note 20 Ultra.

First off the Note 20 Ultra is nowhere near a bad phone, much of an improvement over the S20 Ultra which I thought was junk. The main highlights of the device just didn't seem worth $1300+ to me.

Screen overall is literally just a hair bigger and actually a hair less vibrant and saturated then the Note 10.

Screen refresh rate still not sure why this is such a huge deal. Can you tell a difference? Yes slightly depending on what you are doing. Sort of like 4k on a tablet or small laptop really just not worth it imo

Cameras, oh yes the cameras. Glad to see the autofocus issue was fixed from the S20 Ultra and photos are great no matter what camera but the main sensor unless you are using the 108 mp for extreme detail and then you lose HDR look very similar to the Note 10. Only huge difference is the zoom lens on the Ultra and it is a big one. 5x zoom looks great and even 10x in most cases looks very good and usable. This is the only thing that made me actually want to keep the 20

Everything else is pretty much the same again as Note 10+ nothing else worth mentioning really

Few photos of the differences in whites and camera bumps and the pretty much same screens
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] oneandroidnut:
I still love my note 10 even after sending the ultra back. No regrets besides Samsung still hasn't issued me credit! Says they didn't receive phone smh
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] unitz0mbie:
ok boomer
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] force70:
If i had the 512gb note 10 plus instead of 256 I may not have got the note 20 ultra either (did get 512gb on it) since i just basically needed the extra storage.

Note 10 plus is such a great device honestly and the 20 may have some advantages but its by no means a huge upgrade. More like a baby step upgrade lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] AndroidPurity:
You're also forgetting the 80% less latency time with the pen. So for me, that with huge camera improvements and 120hz refresh was a no brainer for me trading in my S10+. I notice the 120hz. It's a pretty big difference compared to 60hz Samsung panels.

Its not just the refresh rate increased but the touch response rate was increased a lot too. Samsung's touch response in on their 60hz displays just always seemed laggy to me.

On a side note the haptics are the best I have ever felt in a Samsung phone. On par with some of the best. I also love matte/frosted back phones too. Feels so good in the hand.

You are right about the vivid color saturation. I noticed that being a less too. I actually wrote an entire thread about it here. Now that I have the phone manually adjusting it 1 notch cooler in display settings and keeping manual brightness around 85-90% has resolved that for me.

So do you plan to wait for the Note 30? Or likely to get something else before that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dottat:
I understand why he's returning it. So far, I'm underwhelmed this year. And I've had a note every single year they made one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] VICosPhi:
Agree with your overall assessment, Samsung should have offered more colors in 512GB as that would have encouraged some Aura Glow users to bite for the upgrade. Can't believe no eSIM support(yet) either on the US model
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] oneandroidnut:
Touch response should be the same as last year right? It was an improvement over s10 but note 10 I think.

I've never had a laggy flagship but I also disable a lot of stuff and have an unlocked unbranded one so that might help as well

I will give you haptics they felt very good, not that the other devices Samsung makes are bad it felt like an upgrade for sure. $1300 one though no lol

Screen color is weird not sure what's going on there and maybe I will get a fold 2 or keep waiting who knows

Yup note used to have so much innovation and now it's just a bigger s phone with a pen lol

Yeah I don't understand why the regular model went down from 256gb to 128gb. That makes no sense to me either and why can't I get a red one like India or wherever. They need to have more options in storage and colors.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dottat:
I'm super concerned about this battery bit right off the bad. Getting worse results than my 1 year note 10+ that hadn't been factory reset in a long time. It appears the cpu never sleeps cores and 5g chews through a lot at the same time. So if I want the same battery life as my 10+ I have to shut off 5g and lock resolution to 60hz middle setting. After that, it might as well be a note 10 with a battery mod.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] AndroidPurity:
Nope its 240hz. Direct quote from GSM Arena review....

"This one comes with 240Hz touch sampling too for speedier detection of touch input."

https://m.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_note20_ultra_5g-review-2149p3.php

I believe all 60hz display Samsung phones were 120hz touch sampling before. Either way they were less than 240hz before.

But yeah the color profile is really the only issue I have with his phone. Although its not bad enough for me to return it. Especially since I love everything else so far.

If I keep it at 90% manual brightness, on vivid, with the color temp scale 1 notch cooler its improved. But its still not quite as good color profile as the One Plus 8 Pro I also have. Still good enough for now while I hope they put out a software update to tweak the color calibration of the vivid display mode.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] oneandroidnut:
Yeah so it looks like s20 and note 10 are 120hz so pretty decent so incremental improvement there each year. How's your battery life been? I can't say much as the couple days I used it didn't seem great but that doesn't mean anything. My note 10 is on its 14 hour and still at 44% battery left!! Don't think the note 20 would be able to top that
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] AndroidPurity:
I can't say for sure yet. But it seems good. Well into the good category for me. Certainly not excellent, but good.

Keeping it 90% brightness, haptics on, FHD @ 120hz adaptive, light theme, and my first full day today I got about 6.25 hours of SOT over course of about 16 hours.

I didn't take a screen shot, but plan to do more accurate monitoring over next couple days since I been so busy setting it up and exploring settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] PsiPhiDan:
I got 7 hours of screen on time. That's pretty impressive! I was upset with battery life but today was awesome.

120 Hz

Mix of wifi and mobile data

Lots of pictures

Couple hours of YouTube

Auto brightness

Always on display on always show

Light theme on system, some apps dark themed

Normal day, honestly - so 7 hours was excellent!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] oneandroidnut:
Ok good that seems pretty good then!!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] umx:
heres mine from 95% to 1%
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] golani4455:
Yes the color profile is awful. I need to trade in my note 8 which looks much more sharp and vivid.

So after speaking to Samsung and their sub repair shop. I have heard the following.

The display may have different tint because of the new gorilla glass, also there's a built in blue light filter to protect user eyes beside the one that u can toggle and last most of these emoled displays developing ghosting effect after long period of usage at hight brightness. Something that Samsung probably considering as it will be costly to start changing them for people who complains.

I have replaced twice on edge 7 and s8 phones.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] skoobz:
cool story bro. I'm keeping my new phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] R!n:
Got my N20U 3 days ago, coming from a Mate 10 Pro. What a disappointment the Exynos version of this phone is.

Doing basic tasks like writing this very comment while a YouTube video is playing in the background heats the device up so much that I want to put it down again. The performance is fine if you set your screen to 120Hz, but that also drains your battery faster than anything else (and heats it up even more, yay!). 3h of SOT is a ****ing joke. Sure the S-Pen is responsive, the screen is nice, the device is snappy and rarely has any problems with things you throw at it, One UI is One UI, but is it worth the money? Absolutely not. Especially not if you have a Note 10+ or similar.

Don't even get me started on the camera. Capturing something at 4x zoom looks like a Van Gogh painting.

Second and last time I'm trying Samsung. Stay away from Exynos if you can.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] PsiPhiDan:
I am between 2 and 3 hours of screen-on time and battery is at 70%. This is getting better by the day! Snapdragon here, but it was not nearly this good initially. Got over 7 hours of screen on time yesterday and today is looking to beat that!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] chetly968:
My battery life has been pretty solid. I had the s20 ultra and the battery life on that was a hair better I think. In between these two phones I had the OnePlus 8 pro and the battery life on that was atrocious for some reason. So it has been a breath of fresh air to get great battery life again, lol.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Arr6:
My only gripe is no esim/nano dual sim. That was the main reason why I switched from Note 10+ after being told those features were present in the US model.

Hello!Excuse me if this question's already been asked, but I just couldn't find it. I've just done a hard reset on my XDA IIi, & installed the applications.

Why does this icon(dunno what it's really called),like the one that comes out when there's a running program(like an analog clock) just keeps popping out all the time, even if there's no program running?How do I stop it? Soft resets don't seem to work. Please advise.
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] GatorsUF:
Hi,

I'm thinking of buying the OP8Pro, but wanted to keep myself "futureproof" for a few years. I also see a few options for buying the "international version" of the phone...

Will the US version work with Verizon 5G, presumably as they expand the network?

Will the international version work?

I see a few places listing the "band" and "frequency" but nothing I find matches up for CDMA, LTE or 5G so I'm confused.

[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] skittles-1999:
It seems like there's a variant of the V60 that can be bootloader unlocked (the Euro ver.) and back when I had the V30 we did something similar where you would have to convert your NA variant (Or any variant that was not listed in LG's official bootloader unlocking site [EXCEPT T-MOBILE]) to the supported variant's firmware then flash the unlock.bin file.

I dont know how useful this will be for the V60 though, just sharing my previous experience :) just too scared to test this method on my daily driver.
[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] Jerry08:
Yes, european versions(mine) always get bootloader unlock. But from what I know it's impossible to unlock any other versions untill someone find an exploit. And since v60 isn't very popular I doubt there will be unlock for any other version of it(about european).

[LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers] sonhy:
with the long battery life and extra screen and stylus , the v60 might be my first daily driver thats not got root.

I used to use lots of apps for root, mainly firewall to block apps from internet use and UI apps for fast system navigation and non standard features, but most of these can now be done with non root apps and cloning apps with networking disabled now, so im feeling i might just survive without the few apps that do need root.

Hello everyone, I am from Vietnam. I am buying a variant of LG V60 ThinQ in the Taiwan market with its model number: LMV600EA.ATWNCB

Everyone can refer to it from the following link: https://www.lg.com/tw/support/product/lg-LMV600EA.ATWNCB

As far as I know, the list of supported bootloader unlocked devices includes LG V60 but it is in the European market in supported devices tab at the following link: https://developer.lge.com/resource/mobile/RetrieveBootloader.dev

I asked myself that: Assuming, if it can't be unlocked bootloader then will it be able to be unlocked by flashing Europe firmware as the following V600EA20c? https://lg-firmwares.com/downloads-file/24767/V600EA20c_00_COM1_EU_OP_0219
