Hi everyone, I'm brand new to the PDA world and just bought myself a SX66 from Ebay. I've managed to install Xplode's ROM (Thanks, Xplode!) and lots of other goodies and slowly learning my way around this thing. Whee!

Anyhow, the phone didn't come with a sync cable so I bought one off Ebay. If the battery is at around 75% or less it won't charge from the sync cable when connected to the PC's USB. In fact, it actually drains the battery quite rapidly while plugged into the PC. If the battery is around 76% or higher it WILL slowly charge from the USB on the PC. If I plug the sync cable into the wall charger it'll charge up to full as expected.

The 75% is a bit of a guess. I know it drained very fast when I happened to look at it and it was at 66% while plugged into the PC (and will drain all the way if I let it from past experience), and after charging in the wall to 88% I tried plugging it back into the PC again and it DID begin to slowly charge.

Does this mean the battery is on its last leg, or is there something else to worry about?

If you think it's the battery, what's a good replacement? The case I bought (Krussel leather flip) would allow for a little extra thickness as long as the thickness occurs at or above the IR window. I should probably be looking into getting another battery anyhow.

Along those lines, are there any battery chargers available for these things?

Thanks for any help, and thanks for an awesome community. I'm so glad I found this place or I would've ended up buying some expensive Chinese iPhone clone!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] mikealder:
My BA won't charge off USB full stop, the sync cradle supplied has two connections one for the PC and the other for a mains charger, when the charger is connected to the cradle it is quite happy to chrge connected to the PCor not, but it will not charge from the PC alone.

I use mine with an extended battery, it is a 2400mAHr Li-Pol cell that adds a fair bit of weight to the device but is vital for how I use the device (when I bother with it these days as the BA doesn't go out too often) - Mike

You could check the following thread, seems to be the same hardware as discussed: S9 (Spreadtrum SC9853I) 4/64G Android 9 - Discussion thread

Where did you purchased the unit? Do you have a link?
[Android Head-Units] royleebliz:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/164078199865 I got mine on ebay
[Android Head-Units] Kafman:
Yeah, it has the same hardware as the one in the thread I linked you. There's a couple of roms and root, however, can you post the MCU version? And if you're going to test the roms in that thread, do a backup first.

As for the temperature problem, where are you looking that error? I'm not aware of any temperature sensor on this units.
[Android Head-Units] royleebliz:
So get the old app I used back when I tested roms the backup app

And the temperature sensor is from my car but its only displaying in C° they have it where it should show it in F° but just the letter changes not the temp
[Android Head-Units] Kafman:
I'm sorry but I can't help you in that part, as I don't have the same car as yours. From what I read on online forums it really depends from the region where the car originally came from. From what I read, if it is the Canadian version, there's no way to change it to Fahrenheit, same if it's manufactured in the U.S., you wouldn't be able to change it from Fahrenheit to Celsius. I read that some dude purchased the a Canadian cluster for his American version, swapped it, and the sensors started displaying his temps con C, so it could worth the shot: https://www.tsxclub.com/threads/what-controls-the-climate-readout.50277/

Good luck.
[Android Head-Units] royleebliz:
The cluster is the factory and its set to F° but the radio doesn't have the 3rd plug which send the info to the cluster for temp.and the info for the clock so the radio is now the only way to see it and they didn't program it right from what I can tell cause with you tell it to display F° it just changes the C° to an F° but fails to do the math to convert the temp on it if I could post photos or videos I would show you

[Android Head-Units] Kafman:
Did you consult with the seller is there was a canbus accessory for the radio compatible with the car? Have you checked in the factory settings if there is an option to configure the canbus to match your car's model?

And yes, go ahead and send pictures and videos, anything could be helpful.
[Android Head-Units] royleebliz:
I was playing with the canbus and nothing really changed it right i think its a program issue cause when you start it sometime it goes to 3346.8c° then drops to the temp in C° but has a °F

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] servenaya:
Hello Community,

I have always bought factory unlock international versions of Samsung galaxy S phones from Amazon and used it outside the US (in Central America). The last time I flashed a phone was in the Samsung S4 period where a few friends had carrier branded phones, which I helped them unbranded by flashing the TTT (Trinidad and Tobago) firmware, since the PDA and CSC was the same as mine. It never gave me any issues and therefore, I never really messed with CSC before. It was easy and simple!

I recently returned to Samsung ecosystem but this time I bought a S20+ (SM-G985F) carrier branded and locked phone (Claro Guatemala). It's clear that things have gotten way complicated now.

Version: G985FXXU3ATG4 / G985FOWA3ATG4 / G985FXXU3ATG4

CSC: PGU

Thanks to another post, I was instructed to able to flash a different firmware to unbrand it. I was also instructed to change CSC to GTO, so I would not loose VoWIFI and VoLTE. Apparently now just flashing the firmware does not change the CSC, there is another process for that. I performed the change but still lost the options (although my carrier still doesn't support it).

version: G985FXXU3ATG4 / G985FOXM3ATG9 / G985FXXU3ATG4

CSC: GTO

I've been trying to understand how CSC works but I've been reading several contradictions. Some say that if CSCs don't match you might not get OTAs. Other say that that doesn't matter. Why couldn't I just flash the TTT as I've done before? Why did I have to change my CSC to GTO? What if I change my CSC to TPA but use it in Guatemala, would I still get OTA updates? If my device is single sim, why does my CSC GTO/GTO,GTO/PGU as a dual sim?

Who can give me a definite explanation on how to choose a correct CSC firmware? HELP!

I'm going through the same nightmare...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] varcor:
Isn't the SM-G985F a Multi CSC device? Try this, go to "Settings" then "About phone". Write down your IMEI Number. Open dialer and enter *#272*IMEInumber# (In the thread replace IMEInumber with your actual IMEI Number). Press dial, you should see a screen with the list of available CSC codes for your device. Select the CSC that you want and tap the Install option.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] TigerSoul925:
I have noticed the 2x icon in the bottom left corner of the camera app showing up most of the time. I don't know if it always was like this or if it started happening with an update or something. Whenever there isn't any object, wall etc within 2-3 meters away, the 2x icon shows up indicating I may want to take a macro shot even though nothing is close to the camera. When an object exists within 2-3 meters but not close enough to suggest a macro shot, the indicator goes off. If the object comes close enough, the 2x lits again and this case should be the only valid case.

Anyone else noticing this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
It's suggesting a better way to take the same photo. If you press the 2X, it'll switch to a shorter lens,. but then it'll tell you to move back. So you'll get the same shot you were originally going to take, but it's going to be a better result, according to the software anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] TigerSoul925:
There is no other lens it's digital cropping. And I could step back all the way to China and it'd still tell me to keep going ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Sorry, meant switches to to 2x zoom, not different lens. So all you need to do is hold the phone back a little. This gets you a better shot. Try it, it does work. The S20 does the same thing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] TigerSoul925:
You are still misinterpreting me ☺ I have the 2x icon visible all the time, even when no object is near. I may have a wall 5 meters away and the phone still suggest 2x and backing away which is obviously some kind of bug. The 2x suggestion should light up when I have an object near the camera where this method makes sense. This is the way it worked until recently due to some update most likely.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] the_scotsman:
Ahhhh, sorry. Yes, I just tested, and mine is doing that too. It's always showing the 2X, unless I hold it really close to something.

Hey!

I just picked up my old S3 from my drawer becouse i needed a backup phone, but the big problem is the phone is out of date so cant download any of the "daily using" apps.

It is android 4.3, i like how everything look like, but its basically not useble in 2020 becouse lack of apps and everything. Are there any rom that is good enough, that are kinda simular to 4.3, atleast by the looks of it, that are still supported that this phone can use?

Sorry if here already are threads about it, but im new to this, and it would be fun to learn :)

In my opinion, the only fully working custom ROM for S3, which have latest (security) updates, is LineageOS 14.1 (nougat 7.1.2). At the moment, it's maintained by orgert. Look for his links here (last page) :

I had similar issue on my S 20 Ultra but even worse. After update to One UI 2.5 I had huge battery drain,overheating, can not even reach 120hz and had lags every 10 secconds no matter what I was doing.

I tried to: Wipe cache did not help, new function apps optimizer did not help, restart did not help.

I found that new "design" Edge panel ate approx 8% of battery over the night so I disabled it ,restarted my phone and everything went back to normal.

I never had such a problems with any phone in the past. This is embarrassing!

Hope this will work for you too!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] abduls27:
May I know how did you know edge panel took 8%?

Because battery care does not show system apps power consumption. Accubattery and gsm battery also did not show system apps power consumption.

I struck on finding which one is causing this huge power consumption.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] BURN6:
settings -> device care -> battery -> battery usage-> edge screen

edge panel is a part of edge screen "app" which I can normaly see in the list.

I've checked it. It shows only 1% was used for edge screen. Samsung has hidden the feature of showing system usage like screen , wifi, cell radio signals etc.

Try running med power saving as a test, see what your drain is then.

What is showing as your biggest battery drainer? You can try grabbing galaxy labs and seeing what's going on via battery tracker. You can find galaxy labs in the galaxy store, if it's not there then someone posted the apks in the apps forum as it's only available in some regions. . It gives you a little more granular visibility in batt usage.

check out gsam battery monitor from google play store. You will need to enable permissions to allow it to collect enhanced stats.
