Totally. I am just exploring what all is new with one ui 3.0
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] enjoylife1788:
Which is best way to format and then restore all your files back. Is smart switch the best way? I want to start fresh with android 11 but can't afford to format everything.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Nizam_A:
We'll u can get back everything basically with smart switch. I did that. But used the home CSC anyway. Fresh install does make it run smoother apparently
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
Problem with restoring backups is it often restores bugs you had prior to clean flashing / resetting, I always just backup all media to PC, then reset and start fresh, then copy media back, best way to ensure a bug free experience (Other than bugs already in the firmware requiring updates)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] enjoylife1788:
So if i just reset my device now. Is that ok or again flash with odin and select csc instead of home csc?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] enjoylife1788:
What about apps? Dont you have to install each one of them again? and also app data, games progress etc. How do you manage them?

I used to be a long time ios user and dont know the intricacies of android now. So trying to learn. Hope you dont mind. Thanks .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Nizam_A:
Just CSC file is reset. Home CSC keeps files and data
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
Reset should do it, but I have had a bug a reset did not fix and I needed to flash with Odin and CSC to fix it
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
If you have Google play games installed and logged in when you load a game, those should save your progress on the cloud and restore once you log back in, not sure if all games do this

You should be able to selectively restore from smartswitch just games and apps though, rather than all settings and system stuff which is where the bugs will likely be coming from
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] enjoylife1788:
Got it. Thank you. its akin to doing a DFU restore on iOS. Good thing about iOS is its backup service. It backs up every damn thing on iCloud without having to worrying about few things google backs up, certain things smart switch and whatsapp you have to do manually.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] enjoylife1788:
Understood. And what about Camera roll? Do you manually copy the DCIM folder or is there a special way to do that as well?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
Yea it's far from perfect but it's the best you have atm really, make sure not to restore any system stuff though and you should be ok using it for your apps and games

I'd definitely manually backup your media to PC via cable first though
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
Smartswitch should backup media too, but I'd do it yourself via cable to PC to be sure
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] ionutdicu:
how can we enter recovery mode afterwards in order to set wipe cache?

volume up + power does not work anymore

Edit: seems to work with usb cable inserted, as we did during betas, but this is the way from now on??!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
It works, you just need to connect your USBC AKG Headphones first, or PC USB cable

or via ADB using the command: adb reboot recovery
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] ionutdicu:
...i was hoping for a simple method, not the one we used in beta programme
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
Hardly complicated, only difference from normal is connecting headphones
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] enjoylife1788:
I dont see many system options. I see only settings in smartswitch. Is that all?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
Yea just select what you want to backup and restore inside of smartswitch, I don't have a cable for my pc atm to check but using the smartswitch app between two phones allows you to choose what you want to backup and restore

[Honor 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] pasasa:
I saw an excellent unboxing video of HONOR 9A from "Dave the Phone Guy" and share it here. If you're interested in this phone, you can check this video before you buy it.

[Honor 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] pasasa:
Battery life is a major factor when determining which phone to purchase. Most of us are glued to our phone screen for hours on end, and today's all-powerful apps are more power-hungry than ever – so a lengthy battery is simply a must. However, you may have noticed that many high-end expensive phones only come with a capacity in the range of 4,000 mAh, if not lower, while entry-level models easily match this, sometimes far exceeding it with staggering 5,000+ mAh batteries.

This holds true for the recently released Honor 9A, which provides for exceptional battery life, which is only enhanced by an impressive Ultra power saving mode that sustains the phone for a mindboggling 12 hours on a 5% charge. The large-capacity battery and advanced settings ensure that the phone will always stay on its feet, until you get home or can swing by the office for an overdue refill.

You're probably wondering why there's an inverse relationship between price and battery life. After all, wouldn't it be more natural for expensive phones to offer a larger battery, given that it's a desirable trait? Why is it that only budget phones manage to pack the massive battery capacity that we as users clamor for?

The answer may surprise you – differently-priced phones target distinct user demographics, and thus, are the subject of differing R&D priorities and selling points.

High-end phones tend to be all-round performers, and are highlighted by lightning-fast mobile processing, advanced chipset/software, and efficient heat removal. They're also designed with the goal of balancing technical prowess with component size, milking the best possible performance out of the slimmest possible body. As a result, expensive phones usually focus on system and algorithm optimizations, including those related to extending the battery life.

Budget phones, by contrast, are fashioned to satisfy niche customer demands related to battery life and durability, and to do so in the most economical possible manner. So manufacturers tend to equip such phones with a large battery, which makes them slightly bulkier, saving on otherwise costly software improvements. This is generally an acceptable trade-off for budget phone users.

The smartphone market is unimaginably vast, and populated by a wide range of customers that want different things and are willing to pay different amounts. Expensive models that maximize all-round performance, and durable budget phones – they're designed with different user groups in mind, and there's nothing strange about that.

However, that general principle can also be a massive oversimplification – there are in fact entry-level phones on the market that feature really impressive performance. While it's true that they can't quite hold up to latest iPhones or high-end Huawei models, they offer far more than their modest price tags would suggest. Or in other words, you get what you pay for… except when you get more than that!

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] ThomasML79:
My device seems to be missing a bootloader, when I try to hit the three magic buttons I never get any bootloader. Also, after talking to pof on this forum and trying his EnterBootloader.exe-file that supposedly should start the bootloader from within CE, I'm more certain that it seems like there's no actual bootloader in this device.

All I want to do is upgrade the device with a new ROM, but I'm unable to use any of the upgrade-tools, most probably because of the missing bootloader (?)

Anyone have any ideas of what I should try, or what I can do? I've tried pmemdump on various locations, but I don't know what to look for. Maybe it's possible to write a ROM through WinCE? (I don't know the internals of WinCE, so I don't know what you can do and what you can't do, I'm afraid.)

In advance, thanks!
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Bakterio:
Have you tried to remove your sdhc?? If it's inside, no bootloader!

Salut
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] ThomasML79:

[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] gogol:
Anyone know if the display screen has curved edges or not? I haven't head this mentioned in all the reviews that I saw.

Curved screen is difficult to put screen protector, at least from my experience with Google Pixel 2 XL (my current device).
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] AstroDigital:
Not curved
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Jaxidian:
It's 2.5D. There is a slight curve on the edge, although it's nothing like Samsung and OnePlus phones have been. It's pretty comparable with the previous Pixel screens' curves.
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] gogol:
So, it is like Pixel 2/2 XL then. And for that, I found it difficult to get a good tempered glass screen protector because of the slight curved edge.

At the end, I bought from WhiteStoneDome which was very expensive.

Oh well .............
[Google Pixel 4a Questions & Answers] Archangel:
Yeah make sure you get a glass screen protector that doesnt go to the edge or else you will have gaps rising up. I have one on right now that none of the edges stick at all.

Hi everybody

I installed lineageOS 17.1, the information on my phone was encrypted with a 5 * 5 lock pattern, now that I want to sync back the information the system asks for the lock pattern but only gives me a 3 * 3 pattern.

What can I do?

Thank you
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] csakip:
Hi,

I wanted to give an old phone to my son and upgrade to OS to Lineage 14 from stock.

I flashed the original rom, and it asks for google account verification, where I log in as my son's account (with me as the parent, because it needs family link). All is fine at this point, I can do that and restart the phone just fine.

I remove his account so I can enable OEM unlock then I flash TWRP and install Lineage OS. So far so good.

But when I install Gapps, and log in as my son into his google account on Lineage, the next restart says the phone is FRP locked, and can't boot, not even to recovery.

Lineage doesn't have OEM unlock.

It's a galaxy j3 2016 j320F.

I feel like I'm missing just one step that I can't figure out.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] csakip:
As soon as I logged in with a google child account, on the next restart the phone wouldn't start, not even to recovery.

I ended up creating an adult google account for my son and with that, it works just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] melancholy1:
Lineage doesn't have OEM unlock.
[Samsung Galaxy J3 (2016) Questions & Answers] Atercat:
Maybe it's a bit late for the topic starter, but for those who are looking for a solution my experience is going to be helpful. First, after custom ROM installation, you need to set up master user with an any adult google account binded to it. Protect it with a strong pin or a graphical key. Then create additional unlimited user in settings. Afterwards bind the child google account to this new user. Family Link will be installed automatically. But now it won't result in OEM lockout.

Unfortunately, after shutting down or rebooting, the smartphone will boot with the main account. But I think, this is not a big deal to teach children to switch their accounts by holding the power button.

Tested last weekend on LineageOS 14.1 at Samsung Galaxy J3 2016 (SM-J320F).

P.S.: Don't forget to allow calls and SMS for the secondary user in settings.

How do I reset the phone? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers] Grimcreaper:
I know this is probably an easy fix but i cant find the USB options anywhere, or find any way to reverse the accidental tap on my phone. I was on a road trip and during the Dex install on my windows tablet while in the car, accidentally tapped the Deny connection on my phone. Now it wont connect to my main PC either for Dex and seems to be stuck in Charge Mode only for USB and the Developer options dont seem to have an effect. I dont have the drop down options in the main notifications tab anymore, i think one of the more recent updates killed those options.

Quick edit for clarification: I cant access any files over USB currently through windows, cant access Dex, or anything. Just charge.

Id like to back up all my current stuff before my new phone arrives so getting a data connection is pretty important...

[Honor 9A Guides, News, & Discussion] pasasa:
NFC has become a standard feature in mid-range and high-end smartphones, but it may sound more like a cool novelty than something you'd actually use. However, the more you learn about NFC, the more you'll be drawn to using it in daily life.

That realization has inspired me to write a bit on NFC, to provide some key background information — what it is, where it comes from, how it works, and how it can be used, etc. — hopefully you'll find it useful when "integrating" NFC into your life.

Let's start with the obvious: What is the origin of NFC? What does it do? Where can you find it?

（1） How did NFC come to be?

NFC's roots date back to 2003, when Phillips and Sony were in the midst of planning a wireless communication solution based on contactless card technology. After three months of closed-door R&D, the two companies unveiled their achievement for the world: Near Field Communication (NFC), which was compatible with the ISO 14443 contactless card standard.

To better promote and popularize NFC, the two electronics giants brought Nokia into the fold in 2004 and established a non-profit organization, the NFC Forum, to formulate technical specifications and industry standards which would ensure that the new service could work properly on a wide range of different devices. The NFC Forum now includes hundreds of members, including LG, Samsung, Intel and Huawei.

（2） What does NFC do?

NFC, or Near Field Communication, is a wireless communication/connectivity technology that works over short distances of less than 10 cm. To incorporate NFC functionality, smartphones come with a built-in NFC module that consists of a contactless front-end unit, radio frequency (RF) antenna(s) and a security area.

[IMG="NFC cable of a smartphone NFC module (phone disassembled, this is not 9A)"]https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qimg-e91ea51b5fa2353d8dbc0bd98f5bfdee[/IMG]

Due to NFC's short-range nature, this feature is most suitable for private face-to-face data exchanges and communications, such as digital payments and identify authentication. The graph below provides a good sense of how NFC can be used to provide a bunch of common daily services.

（3） Which phones support NFC?

NFC is available on most mid-range and high-end smartphones. The Chinese smartphone e-brand Honor, for example, has released a slew of premium models — the Honor 20/Honor 10 series and View 20/View 10 series, all of which offer NFC. That's to be expected. But what's particularly noteworthy is that the brand's soon-to-be-released entry-level model, Honor 9A (retailing at just €149 EUR), is rumored to also feature NFC — that's a highly encouraging development, and a sign that NFC has truly gone mainstream!

When I go into Settings and change the time of: Change backgrounddisplay when unit is not been in use.... Default is 10 seconds.

If I change this to 30 Seconds and make a soft reset this setting get's back to 10 seconds. Annoying.

Anyone know how to solve this problem?

The Diamond Tweak and S2U2 applications is the only one installed extra...

Thanks in advance.

These modifications use root access privileges to modify the system files, you must use it at your

own risk you are the only responsible.

Requirements:

- Root Access

- Android 10

- Stock Firmware and Kernel

- compilation required 17.0240.2007.27

- a file manager with root access (Root Explorer)

- Terminal Android

Installation process:

- You need to download this file and you need to unzip it

step 1

- you will see the following folders

- inside the folder 01 ViPER4Android System-app another folder comes that you must move to the path /system/app

- the folder must be given permission 0755 and the application permission 0644

step 2

warning: installing these settings permanently disable the DTS equalizer

- inside the folder 02 Mod Audio System Asus There are several files including a custom installer so you can do it quickly, these files should be

moved to the path /data/local/tmp

- now change the permissions of the installer_audio.sh file to 0755

- open your terminal and grant root permissions and type the following command

sh /data/local/tmp/installer_audio.sh

- just enter to run the script

- select option 1 for installation

step 3

- go to magisk manager in settings and select the modules option

- in the folder 03 Module magisk Audio library this is the module oh although they prefer it they can

download it from the repository

- they just need to flash it

- to finish they must give you restart and wait for your device to start

step 4

to enable the equalizer you must activate the master limit and with that it would be activated and enjoy your new audio

system that I made for you.

- in magisk modules it should look like this if you have any problem with the audio just delete the Audio Modification Library file

- and you just have to restart and go

Faqs:

Does it work on a different compilation than Android 10?

R= I would need to test yourself since I don't have that compilation on my device

With lineageos there was a reboot after 5 minutes to recovery and i tried to delete everything and flashed lineageos with different version, but still reboots after 5 minutes. So i tried an other image AospExtended-v7.2-ham-20200521-1100-UNOFFICIAL and now i have an endless boot screen without reboot and recovery. I can't reach it manually.
