Thank you.
[Galaxy SNAPDRAGON S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] sslh2017:
Same here, how did you solve this problem bro.
[Galaxy SNAPDRAGON S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] sslh2017:
Model G981U.

I have unlocked OEM, disabled AVB, wiped the phone as it required, then it rebooted into system automatically.

Then I put Roms & Gapp installation zips into the phone internal storage , turned off and flashed twrp 3.5 in the download mode. And Odin showed 'successful '.

However it still boots up to Android Rec. I have tried it several times. What am I doing wrong ? Please guide. Thanks.
[Galaxy SNAPDRAGON S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] sslh2017:
And here comes a new problem: when I finished flashing vbmeta_disabled.tar , the device didn't reboot to recovery automatically but booted to system instead. So did I fail to disable AVB? How can I fix it please?

Appreciate any help. Thanks.
[Galaxy SNAPDRAGON S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] afaneh92:
You need to be quick and boot to twrp after flash, once device reboot and screen goes black press vol up and power.
[Galaxy SNAPDRAGON S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] sslh2017:
Thank you very much, finally get the twrp installed, awsome!!!

Forgive my question (been out of the game since Android 4/KitKat) but will this work for me?

I have a Samsung Galaxy S20+ 5G in USA with Verizon Wireless.

Model is SM-G986U

One UI version is 3.1

Android version is 11

Last update was March 25, 2021 (G986USQU1DUBB)
[Galaxy SNAPDRAGON S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] JDBarlow:
Is your device BL unlocked?
[Galaxy SNAPDRAGON S20 S20+ S20 Ultra Development] StormyIceLeopard:
Uh, no. Thought that these instructions were for getting that.

Edit: Assuming BL is bootloader aka root.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] GDHAMTON7:
Found out the guy lied. So the US unlocked N20U does work with VZW wifi calling.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] nrage23:
It definitely does work with my N20U on Verizon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
The only differences between the Unlocked and VZW version are:

1. Native Verizon video calling doesn't work on unlocked, but the integrated Duo video calling is better anyways.

2. Verizon's model doesn't have the Samsung "Smart Call" feature for Caller ID. Instead, it uses Verizon's app.

3. Verizon's version has the Verizon bootscreen and a ton of bloatware, especially games, news apps, and what not. Fortunately, most can be uninstalled, and the rest can be disabled using ADB.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] ferzmedina:
I can confirm all of the above. I have an unlocked phone, on U1 firmware, with a Verizon SIM. Wifi calling works. There is no "Advanced Calling" menu in Connection Settings, but there's a toggle for VoLTE and it was switched on by default. No 4G icon, but rather a LTE+ icon is shown in status bar. The only thing I haven't found a workaround for is the native video calling. I cannot initiate it (phone app does not show the option when I'm on a call with another Verizon phone) and if another Verizon phone attempts to initiate a native video call, it tells them that I cannot accept video calls. I checked my VZW account settings on a PC, and despite the video call option being on and not blocked, native calling doesn't work, as described above. Duo works fine for video. I was able to get Visual Voicemail by installing the app that I go from another thread. I installed it before checking to see if the U1 firmware added it by default, so I can't say for sure that it wasn't there already.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
So I had an interesting observation. I flashed my Verizon Note 10+ to U1 firmware and noticed a drastic reduction in data speeds. After getting the Note 20 Ultra, I noticed the data speeds were nearly doubled. I then disabled a ton of Verizon and Samsung apps, and my data speeds dropped drastically as well. Through the process of elimination, I found that the "My Verizon Services" app seems to have a major impact on data speeds. As long as I keep that enabled on the Verizon firmware, data speeds are blazing fast.

Is it possible that Verizon uses apps to prioritize or de-prioritize data speeds? I'd be curious if one could do a side by side of the Unlocked vs Verizon firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] life_speed@yahoo.com:
Thanks for sharing your observations regarding wifi calling. How can one tell it is working? I am used to older phones advising that wifi calling was in use via text in the phone app. I'm not seeing this notification on my new unlocked T-Mobile-branded N20U with Verizon SIM.

I also noticed the VoLTE toggle in the phone app, switched on and greyed-out, can't be deselected. Of course they don't want to support anything but VoIP anymore. What is the behavior, if the cell signal is decent it won't use wifi? It can't be forced to prefer wifi, can it? I used the trick of putting it in airplane mode, then turn on wifi to try and force it to wifi call. It said it couldn't make the call in airplane mode, which is not encouraging regarding wifi calling being functional on this phone/provider combo.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
From what I've found, if you put another carrier's SIM in a truly unlocked carrier branded phone, it should prompt you to apply your carrier settings upon boot. For example when I put a Spectrum SIM in a Verizon phone, it "converted" the CSC (Carrier settings and boot logo) to Spectrum.

My recommendation is to attempt to get the SIM to switch the CSC automatically. If not, use the patched ODIN to flash the Unlocked U1 firmware, and optionally you can flash Verizon from there if Verizon's Video Calling is a must.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] life_speed@yahoo.com:
Thanks for the detailed response. I was a little concerned about the T-Mobile branding, and what that truly meant at the software level. I installed the Verizon SIM to this factory-reset phone. If it was going to switch CSC I think it would have happened then. It went through the usual setup steps, but still displays T-Mobile screen at boot. I'm not sure what else I would do to "get the SIM to switch the CSC automatically".

Would you agree with my conclusion that wifi calling isn't working based on the outgoing call failure when in airplane mode with wifi on?

If there is better, more-unlocked firmware I'm not opposed to flashing it. It's been a while since I've played with rooting and custom ROMS, but I'm guessing stock firmware is a lower-risk activity on an expensive phone.

I'll refer to this link to try and flash to unlocked U1 firmware, hopefully that will allow wifi calling compatibility:

Hello,

Few days ago I had this bright idea about a tic-tac-toe game in which you actually draw the X and O symbols so it would be perfect for any Note device. Anyone know if such a game exists already?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers] Toblery:
Yes

You don't need to install any additional software.

With s-pen draw big hash sign (#) so then game starts. First player draws x sign into any free slot (9 options). Second player draws o sign into any free slot. And then it is first players turn again... Until any player has drawn three same signs in row, column or diagonally (he/she won). Or all slots are used (nobody won).

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gallo2000sv:
Hi you all, I have been around google and the forum and couldn't find if there is some restriction on Android 9 or 10 for connecting an external microphone to the TRRS 35mm jack.

I know smartphones are TRRS and i have tested TRRS microphones, and also tested with a TRS microphone and TRS to TRRS adapter without not luck. Phones keep recording from their own mic, not the external.

Tested:

Huawei pot-lx1t (android 10)

Vernee X2 (android 9)

DOOGEE S40 (android 9)

None of this 3 phones worked, not with open camera app, default camera app, neither instagram/facebook.

The thing is that the same mics and adapters works fine in 2 old phones with android 6 and 4. (CUBOT Max and Samsung sm-g357fz)

I haven root any phone, do i need to or what am i missing?

I keep finding people talking about the same adapters/microphones that i already purchased several times, and still not luck.

Thanks in advance.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] tvos:
Friends,

Could someone tell me if there is a way to capture audio from a microphone (handheld) and direct the signal into the Tilt using the usb connector?

Please advise if this is possible. I did some searching around town, didn't come up with much thats out there.

Tvos
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Accessories] 3waygeek:
Should be doable -- there is a mike input pin on the extUSB connector, for use with a wired headset (which comes standard with non-AT&T versions of the phone). Just find a compatible headset or a headset adapter with a built-in mike and use that -- or take the headset/adapter & replace the mike with a jack and plug in the mike of your choice. The xda-devs store would probably be a good place to start your search.

[Hardware Hacking General] feklee:
For my camera (Ricoh GR III) I want to build a ring light, and I would like to use three of the LEDs used in a phone.

Any idea what are the typical specs of a phone flash LED? (viewing angle, millicandela rating, etc.)

It would also be interesting to know the manufacturer and model of, for example, the flash in an iPhone, but can be any phone.
[Hardware Hacking General] feklee:
In the meantime, I found some information about flash LEDs made in an article: Samsung Introduces Several Leading-edge LED Components for Advanced Mobile Devices

These LEDs have a comparatively small FOV, and they are very bright. I didn't find them on Digi-Key. However, I did a search on Taobao with "手机闪光灯smd" ("mobile phone flash smd"), and this was succesful: 7 results on Taobao

I ordered some to play with.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] natzy85:
Hello everyone,

I noticed this one since I installed YouTube Vanced and I thought maybe that was the problem but no, after playing some longer video the volume suddenly drops. I read on reddit others experience this problem so I was hoping maybe here we can find a solution? I searched the xda threads but didn't found anything.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] garylawwd:
Kinda off to a bad start for troubleshooting though.

Can you give more information?

Are you using stock ROM? If so what version and variant? Are you on global, EU or Indian variant? Android 9 or android 10? What security patch?

Any mods installed? Particularly sound mods?

Any magisk modules?

Have you tried taking a log of the issue and see what happens?

Is this through the phone speaker or wired headset or Bluetooth.

I am not able to replicate on my setup.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] natzy85:
Thank you for the fast reply: I'm on stock Android 10 Global version. Latest August security patch. I am not using any apps for sound and no headsets or earmuffs. No magisk module and no root.

If I just leave YouTube with a longer video, at one point the sound almost mutes. I even uninstalled YouTube Vanced.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] natzy85:
Today it happened again and in another app that was doing live tv streaming. I had not encountered anything like this in another phone. I'm sure that's a but but what can cause this? All my notifications are muted.
[Xiaomi Mi A3 Questions & Answers] Hugask:
Wow that is honestly bizarre, haven't had this problem thankfully, are u still having this issue even with the new update?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] knight900:
I was using the pitaka for my note 10+ didn't looked back since then.

Light, strong, nice, wireless charging and NFC works well with the aramid fibre. I have other carbon fibre casing which causes the NFC not to work.

Anyway best part is that the case is so thin and it's compatible with any magnetic mount! This means you do not need to have a separate metal plate on your phone or case, this casing have it embedded inside the case.

You can go to the link before to get your 10% off.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] BWA80:
Hi!

Does the Pitaka MagEZ car mount (non wireless charging) work with that case?

They say on their web page that it doesn't, but I would think that it does....

And how did you get yours already?? they have stated that shipping will start only on 7.9.2020
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] knight900:
If you look at one of the pics I posted, it does state that it works with the car mount.

I do not have any pitaka car mount, but I uses this one other magnetic car mount and it works fine, with wireless charging too.

I placed order for my case very early. Perhaps thats why I got it early I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] ram4ufriends:
Looks like bottom camera bump isn't protected only the top... Is the correct?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] knight900:
It actually is. Just a small bump, the reason you see it not is because I applied a camera glass protector that why it isn't
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] ram4ufriends:
What camera protector are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] knight900:
Just bought it online in my local country. Nothing special. Cheap stuffs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] dainteg:
How is the cut along the side of the phone? I have had multiple cases from Pitaka but the on on my Note 10 Plus I couldn't stand and returned . They made the sides a little to short in my opinion and it was difficult to pickup because the edge. Tried the LaterCase and the sides cam up just enough to be comfortable. I want another Pitaka because the magnet and Samsung pay still working with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] knight900:
Not too sure about what you meant, but I felt the sides are ok.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] mike.jr:
Other MagEZ cases work with the MagEZ car mount, but not the MagEZ case for Note 20 plus. However, their wireless charging car mount does work with MagEZ case for Note 20 Ultra.

Why not get the charging one? It's good to have a little charge while driving.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] cpufrost:
Is the air worth $10 more than the MagEz?

I have the MagEz on my S20 Ultra and rarely use the magnetic feature.

Plus, I think the finer pattern looks better even though the phone is huge.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] kangi26:
I've been using the MagEZ case since the Note 8, and have the older Qi charging mount for my car (Not quick charge), and haven't looked back one bit. I'm trying to decide if I want to pick up the MagEZ Mount Qi Desktop, or the MagEZ Juice(Has a detachable Qi charging pack). Now that I look at their site, I might need to upgrade to the mount for the N20U......

They have some great products and even though the case doesn't offer much in the way of serious fall protection, it's very thin and has a great texture to it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] mike.jr:
If you don't use the magnetic feature, you may consider the air case. Air case is more expensive because the aramid fiber used to make the case is rarer. By the look, you can see the pattern difference, and the touch is greater. And of course, lighter and thiner, without the magnetic feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] zorian:
i would like to see them make it in different colors like they do for the iphones. Also would like to see the heavy duty case they also make for iphones
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] dainteg:
Just got the Pitaka MagEZ case and it's nice but still wish the sides came up more. Here is it compared to the Spigen slim fit. You can see when you hold the phone with the Pitaka you are holding right on the cases edge. It's super slim so not to big a deal I just feel like it's less surface area and feels like it's going to slip sometimes. I have the Latercase coming soon and will see how that one is.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] bkeaver:
For me the Pitaka Mag case looks perfect. Mine should be here any day.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] hpsauce37:
I went for the pitaka Air case. Takes noting away from the feel of the phone while adding some much needed grip
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] pospower:
I got the ultra 10 air case and it does NOT work with the new charging mount keep sfalling off. did I order the wrong case?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] mike.jr:
You did get the wrong case... air case has no metal plates, no magnetic feature. Sure thing it will fall off from the charging mount. You would need a Mag case, or get some metal strips for the air case.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] hurrpancakes:
Received my MagEZ case & car mount. Case is good, very light and slim, might not be super helpful for drops, but for surface level protection it should be good. There is a small amount of lift for setting the phone face down and around the camera. There appears to be a removable insert around the camera hold for the maybe 1 mm lip, but I'm not planning on taking that out, that doesn't appear to be an "intended" feature.

The car mount is good too, it holds on to the phone well

enough, but it has to rest on the camera module to get a snug grip and to charge the phone. The contact point that touches the camera is soft rubbery, so I don't think it'll scratch it, but if some dirt or something gets on there it may? Not sure
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] ptko15:
I just received my pitaka ez mount case. I love the thin feel and slight bezel around the camera. The case has a good feel. But the bottom corners on the case feel off and potentially wrong. They stick out barely or are barely wrong. Has anyone else noticed a similar feeling?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] todd3835:
Anyone know if there's any kind of holster or belt clip for this case? Kind of a must for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] mike.jr:
There's no holster or belt clip for any Pitaka phone case. It is kind of a minimalist style. But their MagEZ case has metal stripes, so it can attach to magnetic things, such as their magnetic car mount.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] semsss:
Can you take please some photo or video of car mount with phone on it?

There is basically no video or photo with n20u, and this resting on camera really bother me, before ordering...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] mike.jr:
The charging mount rests on part of the camera, but I'm cool with it. Because you don't use the camera while mounting, and the adapter part that rests on the camera are those two black plastic things, they won't scrape the camera. Confirmed with Pitaka support.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] cpufrost:
There are ones on Amazon that will work:

https://www.amazon.com/s?k=note+20+ultra+holster&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

For me, the pouch type holster works best as it will offer much better protection particularly in dusty environments.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] semsss:
Yeah...that not ok in my book, that phone sits there crooked and is not making 100% grip with magnets and cooling surface. that is questionable choice, same as there wallet...who is deleting mag strips on cards... like w t f...

I assume without that adapter phone is not holding either?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] fusiondynamics:
Would this mag case work with any of the regular magnet mounts?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] kangi26:
So I bought both the MagEZ case, the desk Qi Mount, the Qi car mount and 2 of the adapters for the N20U. I did notice that the phone didn't sit right either and gave feedback. Since the adapters were only $3, I decided to grab a file, took off the rubber pads and filed the plastic on the top right side until the camera bump stopped being in contact, and it worked great.

I have no issues with the car mount or the desk mount now. Originally the phone actually didn't work well with the Qi Desk Mount, but works great now.

Not necessarily the best design for this device and I think it just needs a new adapter created to work right. I've been contacting Pitaka Support ( [MENTION=10134767]mike.jr[/MENTION] ) about this issue

Edit, that being said, I still very much recommend the MagEZ Case and am still very happy with the overall product, also the customer service folks have been really communicative with me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] knight900:
I have tested with other brandless type of magnetic mount with the pitaka case and it works as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] bkeaver:
Only one I tested was the Spigen one. And I wouldn't trust it, didn't hold it very strong.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Accessories] knight900:
I tested with a few of these type of mounts and was working well.
