[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] beloybilly:
Good day . Just want to ask help how can I manually select band(s) in samsung a71? It has only auto detection of bands and default carrier aggregate.

What I want is manual selection of bands and locking 3 bands because I assume samsung A71 is capable of 3cc or 3 band carrier aggregation.

Thank you and more power. Hoping to hear from you soon.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] olkitu:
Here is listed of supported Carrier Aggregation combinations:

US-model: https://cacombos.com/device?model=SM-A716U

EU-model: https://cacombos.com/device?model=SM-A715F

US-model doesn't support Carrier Aggregation with B3.
[Samsung Galaxy A71 Questions & Answers] plcline:
May work

This may work for band selection, install Activity Launcher by Adam Szalkowski, search for hiddennetworksetting, found under Calls, long press to create shortcut or just select it to launch it. Once lauched, select the menu, select Band Selection, select the bands you want then toggle on the Selection toggle.

I most ROMs with Microsoft Bluetooth Stack there is this problem. So far the only way to have multiple connections is to go back to Helmi 1.3.2 WM5 ROM that can handle installing Widcomm Stack.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] mokodi:
So, no WM6 ROM have multiple connections?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] mokodi:
please wich WM6 rom has possibility to install GPS BT and handsfree BT?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 ROM Development] wilsacan:
You can use port splitter it connects both hands free and BT GPS, it works for me very well, the only problem is I can use the hands free normally with the phone but navigation sound does not come to the hands free it remains on the phone.

[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Guides, News, & Discussion] rahulmanpur:
This will help you to enjoy clean stock smooth experience on Mi A2 without the OTA being shoved down your throat. I know you can always flash custom ROM, but in my experience there were always a few micro-stutters in the UI and some bugs here and there so I decided to stick to stock with Magisk as the ROM is almost the same as a CAF compiled ROM with no bloat except the Feedback app which I manually disabled.

WHY? Because the monthly OTA updates don't fix anything. So it was annoying to keep updating every month.

- There are some comments here and there which asks to disable just the "Apply update on reboot" in developer options.

But again, it still kept popping up in my notification bar.

- There are ppl saying just disable the notification. But it still goes ahead and downloads the 1.3 GB update zip while phone is idle.

So the final solution which seems to be working for me so far is -

1. Disable "automatic apply update on reboot" from Developer Options.

2. Remove the package named "Dynamic System Updates" using root explorer or ADB, whatever you're comfortable with.

2. Download "Servicely" app from play store (or any service blocker app, really).

3. Disable the following services -

com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateService

com.google.android.gms.update.SystemUpdateGcmTaskService
​

4. ????

5. Profit.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] hamid.seyedani:
I had previously left this issue in the form of a comment Here, but I think that considering solved the issue of BP/ECG, it is better to have a separate thread for this issue.

It may have been forgotten, but according to previous samsung's announcements about regarding the ending of the ability to measure blood oxygen in the previous phone models, Samsung uses a blood oxygen sensor to measure stress level right now whether on cell phones with this sensor or on the galaxy watch /GW active/GW active2 / or other Models.

So we can be sure that this sensor is already embedded on the watches!

another reason is the measurement of blood pressure by the watch because the method of measuring blood pressure is obtained by combining the measurement of heart rate and blood oxygen with special formulas based on my research!

So it is clear that "samsung" will not enable this feature right now (or maybe never) (Remember: like enablting touch bezel on galaxy watch Active!) to sell more galaxy watch 3 !

because in the galaxy watch active 2 sales advertisements, there was no claim by Samsung to measure the amount of oxygen in the blood, and only the ECG was mentioned that now launched!

From now on, friends who are active in this field may be able to port this feature to galaxy watch/GW active/GW active 2/other models/ by extracting related files and create moded shealth tpk or creating a moded ROM.

I hope and thank them in advance for their efforts

sorry for bad english because i am from "iran" that NOT Terorist :laugh: just oppressed :(

I could also enable the widget thanks to [MENTION=1030585]adfree[/MENTION] 's post you mentioned.

But measurement is not working.

As I see in your attached picture it was working for you. Did you do anything else this to work?

I can see the red light using the redbutt.bat, I can see the widget, but when I start measure, I don't see the led and after a while if just quits and measure nothing.

---------- Post added at 07:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 PM ----------

"We" could increase speed and chance... if somebody with GW3 would support our Research...

Only as info...

I kept your rooted ROM, most for these optional features.

But I am very happy with it as BP, ECG, Samsung pay, SHM to SH sync, all of these are working fine. Thanks!

This Blood Oxygen would be really great! Unfortunately I only have GWA2, not GW3, otherwise I would do some research for us.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] gman901:
I see the blood oxygen widget on the phone app. When I add the widget to my active 2 watch and save it, it doesn't show up on my watch and the widget is again available to add (showing a green plus sign by it). I'm not sure how I can this widget but I would like to see if it actually works.

Which firmware is on your watch?could you make a screenshot and post it?

L got the same thing for the first when upgraded to 5.5 tizen...l was unable to replicate that after l reset the watch..even l also downgrade and update again...l think they forgot to remove it from the firmware..there may be a way to activate it..l mean in this firmware.

Hey galaxy active 2 has the red led sensors. Just go to test mode by dialing *#0*# then go to HRM than go to EOL. As soon as you touch EOL . All the sensors at back will start blinking including the Red led .

Yes, but it is still not working from the application. Or do you have any solution for that too?

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Jack__123:
Hi,

I'm a complete noob to rooting and hacking a device in general, but I'd LOVE to have oxygen saturation on my Galaxy Watch Active 2, especially since it's definitely possible (as tested before). If I may be of any service in providing information about the Galaxy Watch Active 2, since I own one, I'd be more than happy to do that. I will check this page once every week or so to check the progress on getting the apk/hack-file for the oxygen saturation on the Galaxy Watch Active 2. I really, really hope someone figures that out.

Cheers,

Jack

Hi to all,

I have an Active 2 and also interested on SPo2.

Does the Samsung Watch 3 hardware the same of Samsung Active 2?

I mean, if the hardware is the same, maybe it could be possible to have also SPo2.

Who knows?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Matttis:
It seems to have become pretty quiet regarding this topic. I guess it's not possible?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] defeat2:
Yes the Active 2 has the same hardware as watch 3. You can even test the SpO2 sensor in the test menu in the Active 2.

Samsung has done some hard work to make watch 3s SpO2 software to not work on Active 2 though

Yes very bad thing about Samsung, I do not understand, they must go f.....

Maybe we need a cooked rom but I don't think it is the same as a smartphone.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sullivan2002:
I didn't buy the Watch 3 cause I don't like it, it is heavier and I cannot put the silicone cover on it as I do on my Active 2. These mainly they are watches for health use, I don't need a normal watch, for that I would spend on other types of watches, SO For this reason, I don't understand why they don't put SPo2 on Active 2 which is meant for this purpose
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] CedGauche:
Because they want more Watch 3 customers :)

I'll hope there will be a rom sometimes fpr SPo2 on Active 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sullivan2002:
I hope so, quickly I will change the rom on it, cause now I have LTE on, EPP on ECG on SPay on and I need also SPo2 on
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] luuphong559:
I once read an article on reddit saying that Sp02 sensor Active 2 weaker than Watch 3 Therefore, Samsung has not enabled the Sp02 feature
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sullivan2002:
But why they did this it's funny cause Active 2 was born mainly by those who want a sports watch and to measure health parameters. It's nosense W3 is thought of as a "normal" smart watch
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] luuphong559:
The simplest reason: the release time difference

Watch Active 2 can be measured Vo2 max when run
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Luchs:
Hi,

I have read a lot of things, but I could not get any real information whether it is possible to measure the spo2 function with the Galaxy Active 2.

And if so, the instructions on how to activate it are missing, because I only understood that the function is switched off in the software and otherwise identical to the watch 3, which can.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] HLMikels:
No apologies needed and thank you for the information!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] DoctorTR:
I hope someone smarter than me can crack this problem and spread the fix to make SPO2 sensor work on Active2 Watch. Samsung is acting like *ssholes to block this good feature just to sell more expensive (and heavy) Watch3. This feature could be valuable to detect sleep apnea and low SP02 in Covid-19 virus cases.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] hamid.seyedani:
Eventually, after the Iranian government's reluctance to not buy the vaccine on time, I also contracted corona virus, and according to my doctor's advice, I had to check my blood oxygen level regularly, and I had to pay $ 30 to buy a separate device. This post is a reminder that Samsung could have simply added the ability to measure blood oxygen to the Active2 watch with an update, but it did not.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] sullivan2002:
Sorry Hamid, hope you stay well. They are crazy cause now if it will came out the Active 3, I will not buy.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch] lulibuli:
With this version, my call loudnes is lower then before. There is no difference if i adjust loudnes to 6 or 1 when talking.

Music loudnes is much louder, that means that speaker is ok. I did factory reset, but no difference.

Any advice?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] Omegared37:
Hamid, be aware that SpO2 sensors on watches may not be as accurate as those on medical devices. Again, the GWA2 does measure VO2 which is not the same as SpO2. Finally, as far as I know, the GWA2 only has two photodiodes, one green for heart rate and other red. A pulse oximeter needs two diodes, one red and other infra red.

[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] Sugaaa:
Wondering how the reception is on the Chinese version in the U.S like on T-Mobile? Can anyone share their experiences? Any dropped calls, how's the 5g and 4g lte? The Chinese version says tencent on the back of the phone.

For 5g, it only has band 41 2.5GHz. It's missing band 71 600 MHz and the other 260 and 261 bands for 5G high speed mmwave.

For 4G LTE, it's missing bands 66, 12, and 71.

There's also a guide here showing you how to enable voLTE. Maybe someone can try that and share.

I'm trying to decide between global or tencent but the tencent is like $200-$300 cheaper because of the missing bands and you can get it in lower storage capacities than the global one. Wondering how it actually performs in the U.S
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] bs3pro:
My buddy has the tencent version and has no signal at times, when I do on my a version. Stop being cheap, and spend the $ for the a version. No band 12,66, and 71 is a deal breaker imo.
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] Sugaaa:
512gb is overkill for me. I'd be fine with 128gb. I'd only pay $1000+ for iPhone 12 pro. imo, Android over $1000 isn't worth it due to its faster depreciation. Trying to see how the Chinese one actually performs.

I'm curious what bands the lenovo legion phone is going to have on its unreleased global variant too. If that comes with volte support, and priced significantly less than than the version a rog, I'll probably go with that.
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] bs3pro:
Move along then. My buddy is sending his tencent rog back. It works terrible. That legion is terrible. Sounds like you should just but an apple.
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] Sugaaa:
You seem pretty experienced with the rog phones. Have you owned the first or second model because I'm mostly wondering how they perform after 2-3 years. I'm trying to get a new phone that will last me around 3 years without getting buggy and slow. If you have had one of the older ones, how are they after like 2 years with the updates? I read that asus also stops updating after the first year so does that affect overall performance after 2-3 years
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] bs3pro:
I had the rog2, but get new phones every few months. Sorry, cant help there. Like i said, just buy an apple, very good HW, and SW is very reliable with plenty of updates.
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] Sugaaa:
The only reason I'm considering the rog 3 is because of the amazing Emulator support on 3ds,psp, and ps2 which iphone lacks. Just wish there was more info out there on this phone.
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] bs3pro:
INFO? Like what? I just gave you the answers. This i why i deleted the other thread. People dont like the answers they get, so they assume its BS. The tencent is not worth the savings IF you live in the US. Plain and simple.
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] Sugaaa:
I don't understand how there's only a 512gb variant in the global version. On their global website, it says upto 512gb so their should be 256gb and 128gb variants too but there are none for sale.

If there was the other variants, the price would match their Chinese version and I would buy it on the spot.

What also bothers me is no definite release date in the u.s. so I don't know when to look forward to when they release the smaller storage size, I grow impatient easily
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] bs3pro:
Lol, I just told you. 12gb, 512 IS the smallest in usa. Whatever, I'm done repeating myself
[ASUS ROG Phone 3 Questions & Answers] TehAdventurer:
bs3pro is right in this case. First and foremost, your money your choice, but you can only buy what is available on the market. At present the only A Version (which is the expected version to be made available in the US) specs are 12 GB + 512GB or 16GB + 512GB and are imported model. That said an A Version from wherever and an A Version from the US are both still A Versions with the same internal modem for T Mobile bands. It still remains to be seen when and if a 128 GB or 256 GB models are released with the A Version modem.

However, it is ill advised to purchase a model that is severely lacking band coverage as both the Tencent and B Version modems do not have support for LTE bands 66 and 71 which are important to T Mobile in particular. Honestly what is going to save you more money, buy a phone missing crucial bands because it's cheaper, and then having to get a new phone due to lack of coverage and performance, or wait and see your options and then decide.

If you are truly in dire need of a new phone you may just want to consider a different brand and shop around a little because impatience won't do any good for you or your wallet.

EDIT: To try and put this to rest, Asus Taiwan is the only country who produces and sells A Versions phones, here is the ROG phone 3 store page. These are the only models currently for sale that support T Mobile here in the States link for posterity, sorry if it's not allowed:
