5+ hours of troubleshooting.

Firewall blocked (UID 10339) [18.203.4.139] to prevent auto update... for now. May need to reload at whatever it's time out value is.

Reloaded Buds and Wearables back to a older known good version but even that didn't get it.

Same sound issue.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrr.

Turned off Developer options.

Cleared data in all bluetooth apks shown by Package Disabler.

Cleared Bud apk/Buds+ apk data, Wearables data, system logs and cache apps.

Cleared system cache for the 4th time.

jeeeesze. Shotgun get it done... something finally got it. Restored. That was a pain.

Without installable backup app copies I would have been likely boned. Not for sure, if this happens to you clearing all bluetooth apps data and so on may fix the new version. Don't count on it though as it seemed to be the cause on it.

Update, so far the roll back is working as before. Survived a reboot. Yay.

This is the IP address of the update problem child per Karma Firewall's log: (UID 10339) [18.203.4.139]

It will remain firewall blocked🤣

Note: the Amazon apk is not running on this device. Pictured below is the known good version.

Bud+ teardown

I'm quite surprised you didn't use a sledgehammer for the teardown. ;) :ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
Not my teardown fortunately.

In spite of the Wearables horror story this past weekend my Buds+ are still intact and once again fully functional🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] Badger50:
Well hot darn!! ;)

Known good versions:

Wearables Manager Installer, Version 1.1.15.13054

Galaxy Wearables, Version 2.2.33.20082161
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
Try these versions if the latest update crashed your Buds or screwed up the interface.

Disable the IP address I listed above or it will lockup until you force update🤣

Firewall's log: (UID 10339) [18.203.4.139]

Unistall both current versions first (or these won't install as they are older), then punch these in.

Repaired🤗
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
Update issues solved😖

Yes well... two requirements need to be met for Wearables to function properly. Google play Services must be enable and all permissions as well. After nosey Parker Wearables has loaded Google play Services can be disabled.

Apparently Samsung decided to make like a Hoover in resent updates... not appreciate Sammy the pimp🧐

If not enabled there's little or no warning and will work erratically or not at all.

Last call for a new pair of Buds+.

They're still available on Amazon, everyone else is either selling refurbished ones or are questionable sources.

The Buds2 aren't an improvement; not sealed, no wings to keep in place and a much shorter run time. Audio Q may be slightly better... if they don't fall out🤣

Samsung is such a disappointment lately.

Meh, just ordered another pair... backup.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
Got my Buds+ from Amazon. While the Buds themselves had a 80/89% charge, the case was showing 0%😳 Fortunately it is charging normally but another few days or weeks that may not have been the case.

Factory sealed box, A-OK. Has a earlier firmware version loaded so finally I get to sound test the two side by side. They connected instantly after I added them. It's cool the way it supports multiple pairs.

I now keep updates firewall blocked for both the Wearables app and the Buds+. The older Wearables app has a far better UI and no audio issues unlike the most current update.

Black Buds+ are still available, new. They are well built. My 1+yo pair is running strong, batteries are still in good shape with long run times. No complaints except Wearables... goofy Sammy.

My original 2.5+yo Buds still are working as well; they're good for calls but music suffers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] blackhawk:
Giving them the whiskey fueled in depth audit.

Not sure which firmware the newest Buds+ is on but I'm thinking they sound better. Punchier. Better Slightly higher volume too about 3 out of a 100 volume increase, noticeable.

Is it the copy or the firmware? Fk, crazy stuff. These things are fun. Engaging.

These things are flaming, can a bud have sound stage? Raw Power is sounding really good.

No fking firmware updates for you😎👍👍

These buds+ rock stone cold hard...yeah I'm liking this. Piano even sounds prettier. Fk.

Leave it to Sammy to screw up a good thing... be warned Do Not upgrade the firmware for these puppies if you get them... it will screw them up.

Verified... or find out for yourself. Just played then back to back, 3X, it wasn't my imagination they play better before the firmware update.

Be glad you don't work as a Samsung tech cause hell is a coming... it's some fk up $hit here.

Note: I now have 2 new pairs of Buds+ running on the shipped version of the firmware. Both sound identical to each other and their sound quality is superior to my original firmware upgraded pair. The firmware upgrade messed up the audio quality; my original pair use to sound like this before the upgrade.

Has Samsung fixed this? The tech I spoke to didn't indicate so or that there was even an issue.

Yes, well... I trust my ears more than Samsung.

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] studz:
...but can you really not simply call someone who has just texted without having to revert to pen and paper???

TIA
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] teddyen66:
Sure, just press the Phone button.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] studz:
That certainly doesn't work on my phone (standard UK 1.37.405.1 WWE).

When I hit the phone button, all I get is the keypad, with the last event in the call history highlighted.

I have to say, I've tried all ways I can think of with this issue, and I'm amazed something so fundamental appears to be missing. I can't remember how many times I got texts on my old phone only to decide the answer was too complex to text and decided a phone call was more appropriate. On my old phone I just cut the sender from the text and pasted it on the dialer, and that was a 'simple' Samsung D900... so what's going on with the Diamond I need to start carrying a paper and pen.

Please someone tell me I'm missing something, or that there's a trick other than having to temporarily enter them in my contacts or need to start exercising my extremely short term memory?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] woolytoon:
Hi,

If you open all messages and hit the call button, verify the number and call.

Works on my UK Diamond.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kidinspace:
Ok.....

Seriously....?

Why did you buy the phone in the 1st place?

Cos it was "Pretty"?

If you go to your inbox, showing all your text messages, select the conversation between you and the person you want to call.

Then use the directional pad to select their part of the conversation (you will know this because their text message and name will be highlighted - might be highlighted blue, it is on mine...) then simply press the call key, (very bottom left of the handset).

You don't have to press any other other buttons.

It will ask you to confirm before it actually dials.

Didn't your phone come with a user manual? - I'll explain how that works.... you pick it up and page through it using your hands, it also comes with

extra features

such as an index at the back and a table of contents at the front.......

........Or is it like anyone who owns a BMW or Mercedes who was supplied with one that didn't come with indicators!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] TheBrit:
Have you seen the Orange manual? It bears no resemblance to the phone!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kidinspace:
I didn't get the Orange User Manual I was lucky enough to get a HTC one, in fact everything about mine was HTC I don't even have the the Orange Logo on the back of it, the only Orange thing it has is the SIM lock....weird

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] woolytoon:
Hey Studz, no probs man.

Glad this thread didn't become ugly.

I guess for the guys who are developing ROMS and stuff, questions from newbies can be a pain in the ass. Perhaps there should be a section for "I'm sorry, I know I should be able to work this out, but I've tried for 3 days and can't :eek"

I'd probably fill it!!
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I pwned U!:
I had previously unlocked my bootloader, installed the latest Magisk, and created and booted a patched recovery.img to gain root access. I recently updated to SHIELD Software Experience Upgrade 8.2, but for some reason, fastboot no longer detects my 2019 SHIELD TV Pro when I am trying to send commands on the bootloader menu. It detects my device just fine when I boot up Android and successfully executes any ADB commands that I send, so it is only a fastboot problem. I made sure to install the latest drivers for fastboot, but while my Surface detects my SHIELD without errors, fastboot still cannot find it. After hours of trial and error, I decided to finally sign up here to see if anyone could help me.

I recently got a pair of Galaxy Buds Live and shortly after pairing I noticed that calls start on the buds, but about 10 seconds later the call switches to speaker phone. The Bluetooth button is still showing active in the call, but it is definitely coming over the speaker. I then tried a call in my vehicle, and it gave the same result. ? Anyone else experiencing anything like this?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Rapier:
Check the sensors how they are active... I guess the buds have sensors to "know" when you're wearing them (in your ear) and somehow they don't register properly. As a test, disable that functionaluty and see if it works better or try to reposition both in your ears

Hello,

I would like to know the following:

1. Based on the Samsung's Unpacked - Part 2 event, there was a slide / presentation that revealed a

512 GB storage option

- so, which market / model would have this?

See attached image.

2. Presuming following the Note 20 Ultra 5G., HK version - which is based on the snapdragon variant, unlock-able bootloader, which means rootable, correct?

3. What the various model numbers for various regions?

3. Will the Thom Browne Edition come in 512 GB?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Swarai:
Very good questions. I saw an ad on ebay that was selling (pre-order) a 512GB so now I'm curious to know what the story is

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Hitman3984:
China only I believe I read?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] karthigan:
Got some answers ...

So, I have an update from Samsung Canada - Chat online (the lpcdn.lpsnmedia.net website for the chat session - since it appears the original chat session never gets connected to an "actual" agent), if you need the direct chat link URL, let me know.

1. 512GB variant is only available in selective markets - according to the internal documents - 512GB is stated as *TBD* - but the chat agent thinks it will likely be the South Korea Variant, and HK Variant only. But also it could be released much later than the original launch date.

3. Thom Browne Edition

WILL NOT

come in 512 GB, it is only 256 GB.

Also, since you

CAN NOT

pre-order the Thom Browne Edition on Samsung's Canada's Website - it is again, *TBD* - out of the limited quantities available - Samsung Inventory Management Department (I was quoted to SIMD by the agent) - every region will have a certain quantity for order, and once done, there is no way to order it, unless third party web sites (wondamobile, pda plaza, swiftronics, etc.) carries then.

Not sure if I should take these answers with "grains of salt" or if this agent was actually knowledgeable. The agent's name was Paula.

So, we'll see.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] force70:
Guess they figured those of us in North America and Europe werent good enough for the 512gb version.

Samsung is doing quite a bit to annoy customers this year. I am one of them, long time samsung customer and they are doing a fabulous job of alienating its loyal customer base so far in 2020 especially lately
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Spud1:
Isn't this due to different habits in each market? EU/US are very cloud heavy, with a lot of streaming for video & music...so most of the storage space will be for apps and photos.

For most users, i'd wager over 90% but don't have stats to back that up, 256gb is more than enough - overkill in fact.

In Korea/China/HK things are different and local storage is really important, so you see a lot of manufacturers offering expandable or larger storage in those markets.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] force70:
who knows why, either way it's very frustrating similar to how having the note 20 ultra 512gb version available only in black.

its idiotic and just irritates some customers, people want choices that's nothing new.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Spixe1:
512 vs 256

I'd have to respectfully disagree with this, as I've lived in China for 20 years, literally about half my life. Basically, all China runs on the cloud. You'll find very very few, except for maybe the old generations (50+) not streaming everything from music to games to movies and tv from online streaming services. The only local storage used is to install games and apps, and to hold tens of thousands of pictures they love taking of every little thing. You won't find them storing videos or music or anything on their phones though. So this particular line of reasoning, at least for China, I feel doesn't hold water. But that's JMHO.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] shollywood:
Regardless of who lives where and such, it should come with at least what the previous version did and/or allow expandable storage. We all keep getting less yet the price becomes higher. Charger is next to go. They tried as best they could to get it as close to the original price as possible, but there are sacrifices because of it obviously.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Word of caution. We're back to the old days where different variants have different cellular bands. My Tab S7+ 5G from Spain supports a handful of EU 5G bands but the only U.S. band it supports is AT&T's 850MHz. It's SD 865+ just like the Z Fold 2 so I'd imagine all Samsung's 5G phones are going to have support for bands by region. If you're happy with LTE then it doesn't matter. If you like to flip your phones I think a non-5G capable version of a $2,000 phone would be a hard sell here in the U.S. so that's something to consider too.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] shollywood:
Old days?? Been like that for as long as I can remember.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Multi band LTE radios made it much less of an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] shollywood:
Samsung has made multi-models for as long as I can remember. Unless you specifically purchase the US/Canada model, there was always at least 2+ bands missing on LTE from the other variants. Those devices would work in most areas, but not in all of the outskirts.

Even the S20 USA and Canada versions differ, both LTE and 5G bands are different. This on a very recent device.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Which LTE bands do you consider missing? The point I was making is that multi-band LTE support has greatly evolved whereas 5G is going to be hit or miss for a while. Someone with a current generation device can pretty much count on accessing LTE worldwide no matter what the phone's country of origin. For 5G? Not so much and not for a long time.

Looks like wonda mobile got their pre-order page up: https://www.wondamobile.com/samsung-galaxy-fold-2-5g-dual-512-gb-f907n-sim-free-and-unlocked.html

The link mentions F907N variant, but on the page it is F9160.

It costs: $2,221.40 USD (approx. $2,926.21 CAD)

It is the 12 GB RAM, 512 GB storage.

However, surprised to see it as a single SIM, not even an SD slot and/or 2nd sim, is that new for a HK model?

I have asked this question in the Note 20 Ultra thread, but I'll ask again here (as no answers were posted), now that all Galaxy Z Fold 2 is using Snapdragon chipset:

1. Since it is based on the Qualcomm SM8250 Snapdragon 865+, is there a way to change the LTE & 5G bands on the SM-F9160?

2. Is it hard-coded into the firmware of the 5G modem that is incorporated with the Snapdragon 865+, which makes the change impossible?

3. Since I am with Rogers provider - is it possible to change the CSC on SM-F9160 to match that of Rogers?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] shollywood:
Dont think your going to get any answers for the next little while. It is still in pre-order state and not readily available. However, I have not seen or heard of any that will have dual SIM and definitely no SD card slot for storage expansion.
