[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] apprentice:
I see you are in the US, so you will automatically get the Snapdragon version. This is technically a better chipset for both performance and battery life, but the evidence seems to point to about a 6% performance boost (on the Galaxy S20) and about 1hr more battery power. But these figures are only relevant if you are pushing the phone to absolute limits. As with all benchmarking, results are clinical and most likely aren't noticeable in every day usage and the majority of people really don't care much.

However what we do care about (here in non US markets) is that we are paying the same amount (often more) for something that technically has an inferior chipset. But Samsung seemed to have addressed this with the Exynos version having a bigger (256Gb) base storage.

There are rumours banding about that the Exynos 990 has been much improved/ramped up, also addressing the overheating issues on previous devices. So it remains to be seen if this holds true. But the crux of my input here is that is it really worth the OP going to the trouble of importing a phone from the US or S.Korea to the UK, based on all the above? Especially if something goes wrong you most likely don't have a warranty. At the price of a Note 20 Ultra that's a lot of money to lose if you get a fault.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] cezeff:
Well I live in Japan .. Shipping and importing is not really an issue for me... Even with the improvements to exynos, it still seems the snapdragon is the better chipset (?).. I can source an unlocked 256 snapdragon from Korea, yet now am concerned about the bloatware on the phone... wouldn't the Hong Kong version also include some form of bloatware?

---------- Post added at 06:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:35 PM ----------

Wouldn't the HK version include bloatware as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] apprentice:
Ah sorry, I was just going by the country flag on your profile.

I don't know if the HK version will be full of bloatware. However, I think Samsung have toned down their bloatware over the past 2-3 years anyway (certainly in the UK versions), instead opting to provide links to downloads of their apps that might interest you. I actually really like the Samsung Browser for example but it's no longer installed by default, so I had to install it from the Galaxy Store.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VirtualWaver:
I will second the Samsung Browser - absolutely the best and works super fast. My to go browser, in fact.

I am not sure about bloatware content but there was a deal on HotUKDeals website where Wonda was selling S20 from Korea and it was cheaper and people was saying the comments that the reason is that it has many pre-configured Korean bloat that cannot be removed even with package managers.

It looks like (from my research on the web) that HK version doesn't have these.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] cezeff:
No problem. I do agree that Samsung has toned it down. I think I'll go ahead and pre-order the Korean snapdragon with 256gb in mystic white... mystic bronze looks great, yet I can't do much with it, even putting on a skin the frame would stick out like a sore thumb... If anything I can disable bloatware via ADB shell without root... One of the reasons I buy unlocked phones is because the bloatware on Japanese locked phones are absolutely crazy... The system is also proprietary, losing much of the customization other regions have, along with super long delayed updates...

---------- Post added at 07:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

I'll roll with the Korean version for now.. If there is any excessive bloated I'll ADB shell it and if anything else maybe flash a universal ROM later down the road... Thanks for you guys input
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VirtualWaver:
Please let us know how once you get it :)

I will also hold on and wait for Exynos review. Hope it will be available soon.

I am not a gamer at all, but am a power user and do appreciate when the phone heats less and consumes less battery. Also, apparently, Snapdragon's reception is better. So will wait for reviews before getting. For now, I cancelled my Samsung order from the UK.
[Samsung Galaxy A50s Questions & Answers] dendright:
I am new to XDA, but long established in IT.

I have just brought a Galaxy A50S from Rakuten. It turns out that it comes from Hong Kong. And its only CSC possibility is Hong Kong.

Most functions are fine, but the one reason I bought the phone was for Voice over WIFI and this does not appear in any menu. (though the phone is certainly capable, and does show VoLTE) If I understand correctly, it is because my service provider (Orange France) will not grant access to the service to a phone that does not have a French CSC. Question 1, does that seem plausible?

I do not yet have sufficient courage to transplant the csc file from another Samsung and run as an update from SD card. For me the risks have yet to be charted.

So, Question 2 does anybody have a ROM image for a French/European Galaxy A50S (5070 variant)

Regardless, thanks at least for reading this far
[Samsung Galaxy A50s Questions & Answers] trentanel:
I'm in the same case; looking for a ROM that fits a A50s sm-5070.

I tried to install "[RECOVERY][ROOT] TWRP 3.4.0.0 + Kernel Mod + Fixed Bootloop [ Updated 2020-07-23 ]" but without success.

TWRP is well flashed, but the phone doesn't want to reboot in recovery.

Then i flashed the stock ROM :p
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] lesmil:
Hello guys.

I would like to ask you if you could recommend me latest pie firmware without any GPS issues, please. With 47.2.A.10.107 I am experiencing GPS lock issue - before I go to car I have to clear cache, use GPS Status Toolbox and all other things to make GPS working. Anyway, it works then but just for 30-60 minutes, then it is back at nonworking status.

I am on stock 47.2.A.10.107 G8142, nonrooted. Thank you very much.
[Sony Xperia XZ Premium Questions & Answers] denkem:
Here is what I did:

- go to Power-saving exceptions (Settings - Battery - 3 dot menu - Power-saving exceptions)

- in "System" check box for "Location Service" and "LocationServices"

- in "Apps" check box for GPS apps you use (Waze, Sygic etc.)

- enable "Developer options" and enable "Force full GNSS measurements"

- in "Location" enable "Improve Location Accuracy" in "Google Location Accuracy"

- some users mentioned their GPS signal reception got better after force closing Google maps and clearing its cache (I don't do it tho)

I am on 47.2.A.10.107 CE1, check my GPS accuracy.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] jesrani:
I am on 10.3.2, rooted with Magisk Manager version 07f712a1 and Magisk 87de0e7a. These are the version numbers I can see when i open Magisk Manager. Magisk Hide is enable for banking apps mainly, systemless host module is enabled and Magisk package name is also hidden.

Most apps needing root are working fine and most Banking apps requiring root to be hidden are also working fine.

However BHIM UPI is not working, I get a message of root detected after putting the PIN and it does not open. If I uninstall or clear storage and register my mobile again, it gives the root detected error but still logs in. However as soon as I exit and open again, it does not log in. Any way to get this working?

Adaway had been working properly but now it is not able to update hosts, says Root permission not granted, even though in Magisk default permission is Grant. I have tried to uninstall and reinstall, change options in Magisk, install F-droid version but nothing works. Systemless host is enabled. I have restored a working app version and data using Titanium backup so ad-blocking is working. But unable to update with new host file. How to fix this?
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Macusercom:
Did you try to remove root and root again? Maybe something with Magisk isn't right.

For BHIM UPI I have no idea what that app is but there are a lot of apps that use really good root detection which Magisk can't fully circumvent. It could be that this is the case here :confused:
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] jesrani:
BHIM UPI is a Banking App.

I am currently on Magisk Canary and also having problem with Adaway. I tried to change channel to Stable and the manager changed to version 7.5.1 but Magisk remained Canary version. When I tried to install the latest stable version the installation fails so I had to revert back to Canary version. If I clear storage the Manager comes back to Canary version and then I am able to install Canary Magisk version, it installs properly.

How do I properly uninstall Canary version Magisk and install Stable Magisk, maybe this will resolve the issues.

[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] jesrani:
Is this meant as a reply to my post? My issue with Adaway on Magisk Canary is that suddenly it is not able to get root permission.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] gpz1100:
So it worked before? I had to mess with the systemless hosts to get it working. It didn't have issues acquiring root though.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Macusercom:
I would advise to use the stable Magisk version. You can either flash the Magisk uninstaller via TWRP or uninstall Magisk in Magisk Manager and then flash the stable Magisk version in TWRP :)
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] jesrani:
Is there a working TWRP for OnePlus7T, I thought there wasn't but I am not sure because I rooted it many months back.
[OnePlus 7T Questions & Answers] Macusercom:
Afaik only for custom ROMs. Otherwise, you can still remove Magisk in Magisk Manager and then patch the boot.img with the stable Magisk version or you remove ALL modules first, then make an OTA update to your existing version.

Then patch boot.img and flash it via "fastboot flash boot.img".

If you want a quick second today, take the battery status today. Then you have two today screens. But this kill one today and go to the other today. This good to save memory. For me its good. In one I have all my things. And if I want IGO8 I take the other.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] shkauf:
NEO130,

Could you please elaborate what is the "battery status today" that you use for mToday with minimal memory?

I try to do the same: one mToday profile with the applications I commonly use and the other mToday profile for iGO8. The profile with commonly used applications works OK but when the link of the empty profile for iGO8 is invoked it stuck my HTC Trinity such that it needs a hard reset. The succeeding boot yields the empty Today.

Not a convenient way to switch profiles, though...

Thank you,

Shkauf
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] howdykeith:
Hi.

I posted this over at MobiSapienz but it may be easier to chat over here?

So I read:

"Added command line option to launch settings (-p0)"

When I do:

Run(SystemPath( "ProgramFiles" ) \ "Vicsoft\MToday\mToda y.exe","-p1")

It pops up the mToday Switcher and leaves it there.

Am I not doing the command line argument correctly. I did try "-1" but as I suspected that also popped up the switcher.

I am also assuming -p0 refers to mToday 1, and -p1 would refer to mToday 2.

I kind of wish there were a reg setting for "Current mToday Profile" for last switched profile.

Thanks...

[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Kahenraz:
I purchased a LS998 and followed ChazzMatt's guide to convert it to a US998. This worked fine:

https://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=76584629&postcount=193

I was able to unlock my bootloader and flash TWRP all OK.

I eventually flashed the latest LGUP firmware "US99820h_00_0318.kdz".

From this I was able to install the latest Magisk 20.4, "AK3_RCTD_Remover", and "Disable_Dm-Verity_ForceEncrypt".

LG's native rom boots fine and everything seems to work; wifi, camera, etc.

Satisfied with this setup, I flashed "lineage-16.0-20200807-UNOFFICIAL-h930.zip" and set everything up as I wanted. Everything worked-- EXCEPT for the camera. Every time the stock AOSP camera (or any other camera app) launched, it would immediately crash.

I flashed "US99820h_00_0318.kdz" back with REFURBISH and confirmed that the camera was fine. Since this removed TWRP as the stock recovery, I had to repeat the same steps from above.

But now every time I boot into LOS 16, it will hang after a short period of time at the setup screen (where it says START). I can click on start while it is still responsive but the "Just a sec..." message and the progress circle will spin and not proceed. The phone will then eventually locks up from there.

I have been unable to figure out how to fix this. I can always revert back to "US99820h_00_0318.kdz" without issue but I can no longer get back onto LOS 16 for some reason.

I did make a TWRP backup of Boot/Data/System but restoring this on top of LOS 16 results in the phone booting up to a progress message "Phone is starting..." which will eventually lead to it too failing to progress and locking up.

I have been flashing roms for years and I have NEVER had this much trouble before. Once a recovery is loaded, flashing a rom, wiping data and doing a factory reset ALWAYS gave me a working system. But it fails here. Why?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Kahenraz:
That helps to explain the camera (it doesn't work with anything but GCam) but not how to get LOS 16 working again.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
You're welcome!

Some people have had issues with camera on LOS and need different permissive kernel. [MENTION=5906767]tech_infinity[/MENTION] is one of the experts and I see he's tried to help.

You were correct in flashing LOS-16 from last stock Oreo. If you had updated to stock Pie, then tried to flash LOS-16, I would have said that was part of your problem.

I do not know why you cannot load LOS-16, but one possible way of fixing it is a little tedious, but you can try if you are willing.

Flash Nougat US998 KDZ via Refurbish mode. This is only temporary stage. You will lose TWRP and root but still have unlocked bootloader. Going back to Nougat cleans out a lot of stuff. Then flash US998 20h KDZ. You will still have unlocked bootloader.

At that point, then, follow WTF Section 6 to reinstall TWRP, encryption disabler, root check disabler, root.

Then, try to install LOS-16 again. But this time perhaps try a different permissive custom kernel, which [MENTION=5906767]tech_infinity[/MENTION] can suggest to you. That may solve your camera problems, and hopefully the Nougat-back-to-Oreo will solve the LOS-16 loading issue.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] tech_infinity:
You tried going permissive already?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Kahenraz:
The issue with the boot hang ended up being an issue with the SD card I had inserted. It worked fine in TWRP and LG's Android rom but it would hang for LOS 16.

Before I had done a wipe of my first install of LOS 16, I backed up the rom and copied it over to disk on Windows. But I must have made a mistake on removal that left the FAT32 filesystem in an inconsistent state.

I finally stuck it into my PC where Windows asked that I repair it. LOS 16 worked fine after that; with and without the same SD card.

The camera was fixed by enabling SELinux to Permissive. I'm not a fan of this as I do like the security that SELinux provides. But I also need my camera... and I see no alternative.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
Glad you got it figured out.

All V30 LOS-based ROMs need Permissive. Sometimes when reverting from LOS-17 ROMs back to stock Android 9, you then still need to run permissive kernel. Or else camera won't work and other sensors. It's like remnants of LOS-17 still affecting the phone even though you are back on stock. The way people can fix that (most of the time) is to refurbish to Nougat, then go back to newer firmware. That was why I suggested that, but it turned out to be your microSD card.
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] Kahenraz:
Are you saying that I could have SELinux Enforcing if I had not flashed stock Pie and then LOS 17?
[LG V30 Questions & Answers] ChazzMatt:
No. I'm saying all V30 LOS ROMs require permissive.

Furthermore, after running LOS ROM 17 if you wish to return to stock you may STILL need permissive mode for camera and other sensors. (LOS-16 doesn't have this after-effect returning to stock.) The fix for the LOS-17 remnants gunk is to refurbish back to Nougat, then update again to newer stock. That often works.

But all V30 LOS ROMs require permissive.

Then in the morning I tried lineage-18.1-20220208-recovery-walleye.img instead following same install instructions as droid and for whatever reason it didn't got the same threatening notification that your device gonna be reset in 2 hours.
