[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] jdock:
Yes, I don't understand why they put that chrome ring around the camera. I would think they want to make the cutout less noticeable, not more.

But it turns out to be one of those things that is more annoying in principle than in reality. As Moxie3000 said, the ring itself is not too noticeable most of the time (I hadn't even noticed it until I read about it and specifically looked), because if the light is reflecting off the ring, it's reflecting off your screen too, so you wouldn't normally use it in that position. When I notice it mostly is when the top of the screen is otherwise dark and there is a reddish glow (which also varies depending on the viewing angle) from what appears to be a coating on the camera lens.

Thank you for checking.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Davey Dual Sim:
To describe it as chrome is rather sensationalist you can only notice it if you really look hard
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Guyinlaca:
I saw the S20 FE at my local store and it was right next to an S20+ and A51 5G. The reflective ring is barely more noticeable than the others. Funny thing is the A51 5G looks almost identical. It's like they took the chassis from that and increased the processor, screen refresh rate, and added wireless charging.
[Tasker Tips & Tricks] Cyber.Cat:
Hello,

I added to ADB AppControl the ability to automatically issue permissions for Tasker (and not only) + permission manager.

View attachment 5111765 View attachment 5111767

Allows you to give Tasker (and other popular applications) all the necessary permissions in one click.

I invite everyone to check it out.

Please write your feedback and suggestions - I continue to work on this functionality.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Phazonclash:
Hi guys, quick question... My good old Note 9 (Canadian variant: SM-N960W) is flashed with an unlocked/unbranded US firmware (SM-960U1), and everything's working flawlessly (Wi-Fi calling, VoLTE, OTA updates, etc.). The main reason I did it: Canadian carriers are useless morons, they take weeks/months to release updates, and I've been more than happy with the quick updates I get with the US firmware installed.

I would like to do the same with my Canadian Note 20 Ultra I will receive Friday, but I want to make sure it's still possible, with "Odin Patched", to flash a firmware from a different region on the Note 20 Ultra.

Someone on XDA did it? Did it go well, and did it break something?

Many thanks

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Phazonclash:
Thanks for the heads-up, I didn't thought about 5G, but glad to hear it's still possible to do it (flash a firmware from a different region) without bricking the device. I'll probably pick faster updates over 5G for now, considering I live in the middle of nowhere and have access to LTE only anyway ;)

I have a Rogers Note 20 Ultra, I will wait for the updates because here in this part of Ontario, has 5G for whatever reason. I really enjoy streaming Xbox games from the cloud. Almost no delay.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] mellojosh:
You should be able to flash U or U1 firmware using patched Odin. Just make sure if you have a carrier locked version (not sure if thats a thing in Canada) to have it SIM unlocked before flashing anything, especially if you plan on changing carriers ever. After going to U1 firmware, you can access the service mode menus to enable bands for LTE, NR 5G and DSS. Canada uses 5G bands n38, n66 and n71 and DSS. The only band I don't see available in the US firmware is n38, although it may be available under another CSC like WWD or GCF. I have included a screenshot of the bands I've enabled under the Verizon CSC.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] warriorvibhu:
This can be fixed by flashing the home_CSC file of your carrier and then there are many other ways to fix this. So take this information lightly.

This can be fixed by flashing the home_CSC file of your carrier and then there are many other ways to fix this. So take this information lightly. Also he never said he was able to do it, he just had a U1 device.

What he said :good:. Also you would be able to get on Beta on which a lot of 5G things were fixed / enabled so in fact that might work for you.

Only things i would want you to check before flashing the US firmware is:

1. Is it a dual sim phone? If No you are good.

2. Do you have E-sim Capability enabled? If No you are good.

3. What variant is your phone ? If Snapdragon you are good.

ohh if you are flashing US firmware flash the U1, no need to flash U firmware. Do check if you are sim unlocked because in case you are not and in future you want to sim unlock your device you will have to be on Carrier Firmware, if you plan to stay with your carrier for a long long time and or if you are sim unlocked this should not be of a concern.

Sm-n986w (canadian version)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] wallyg8r:
For anyone still wanting to convert their N986W to US unlocked N986U1 I just wanted to say its possible. I used modified Odin and put the U1 firmware on my N986W. I was then able to install the 3 beta's. After a couple of days I switched back to the Canadian firmware. So for anyone wanting to try it, you should be good to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] harsh9101:
Hello,

I have a n986w (freedom locked) and i was wondering does every band work with u1? Or do we have to manually enable bands from service mode? And if i may ask where did you find modified odin and u1 firmware? And why did you roll back? I am still new to samsung phones, i had my fair share of modding android in past but sammy does thing bit differently so i am but confused about everything
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] wallyg8r:
Your N986W with freedom is probably not sim locked. I know mine isn't and someone earlier in the thread said that phones in Canada aren't sim locked anymore. So you should be able to proceed. When I switched to the U1 firmware I was receiving LTE signal on freedom. I did not test any other bands as I was just in my living room. There is a guide here on xda regarding enabling all the bands and there is a link to it from the thread I followed in order to switch to the U1 firmware. The link to modified Odin and U1 firmware is also in the same thread. The thread OP is warriorvibhu and its about switching from U to U1 firmware but you can follow it just the same and you can find that thread and the thread for sideloading the beta in the Guides, News and Discussion section. Sorry I couldn't add a link for you I have limited time right now. I rolled back because I just wanted to see if it could be done or not. The instructions were straightforward. Good luck and enjoy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] harsh9101:
Yes my phone is not sim locked. it is in fact unlocked. Does this trip knox? and will I receive OTA updates after I switch to Oneui 3.0? or will I have to manually flash beta otas?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] wallyg8r:
It did not trip knox as its official firmware. You will have to manually flash the betas. Also, when you get the U1 firmware, make sure that you download the one ending in ATID. That is the one required for the beta. I read both the guide for the beta flashing and the guide for flashing the U1 firmware before I proceeded. Also make sure you remove sim card b4 flashing U1. Have sim in when sideloading the betas and be careful you don't accidentally take an update between U1 and beta or you will have to re-flash ATID.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] S2LTE:
Hi, I have a Canadian Samsung Note 20 Ultra (SM-N986W) that is Factory Unlocked and was purchased from a Samsung Store, but it does not have any option for an eSIM?!

In the settings of the phone, there is not even an option as "SIM Card Manager"?!

On the phone's original box label, there is only one IMEI number is printed?!

I contacted Samsung Canada and they told me that this eSIM option is inactivated for Canadians?!

Only one physical SIM card can be fit in my phone, and there is a place for one MicroSD card, so if I want to use a second SIM card, it has to be only as an eSIM, but this option is not activated on the Canadian Note 20 models?!

- I am wondering if I can get an eSIM option for my phone by flashing my phone with SM-N986U1 firmware (used by the US unlocked version sold by Samsung Stores in the US)?

Does anybody know if the unlocked Samsung USA Note 20 version SM-N986U1 has an option for eSIM?

I read somewhere that in the US, only Note 20 from T-Mobile has an eSIM option.

I appreciate receiving any help for activating the eSIM option on my Note 20 Ultra phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] dj24:
My understanding is that the Unlocked U.S model still hasn't received the eSim update officially. I think some users have been able to flash it to the t-mobile U version and gotten it to work that way.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

I think it working on 4g is a good bet. You would just have to root to be able to enable VoLTE and Wifi calling. Like they did for the ROG phone 2.

Just wondering if anyone has come across anything which might indicate that Android may be able to be installed on the Hermes?

I have seen videos of Kaiser (TyTn II) running an older version, and the specs are quite similar between the two handsets.

With cookers moving onto newer devices, it would be nice to see some development of Android on the TyTn to bring new life into the old dog. God knows we will not see any new windows mobile versions past 6.1.

Anyone else agree or have any comments? I think Android may be a great alternative to this excellent phone.

Just my 2 cents.

But should i spend so much money for an up to date gadget???

[General Questions and Answers] Raiz:
Hi,

Do you have Google play store installed? If yes you need a Google account and you can download any app you want.

If you don't you can download ".apk" files from internet , with a file manager go to the folder you downloaded them and click on the file. A prompt will appear asking you to enable "install from unknown sources" option. So you have to go to security settings, enable that option, then go back to the folder, click on the APK and this time you should be able to install it.

Hope this help :svetius:

So I recently acquired an LG K51s, because my old Sony broke due to water penetration.

One annoying thing I really dislike about the phone (apart from the rubbish skin LG uses), is the simple fact when I go into horizontal mode the phone cuts off part of the top screen to make it look seamless (because it has a hole-punch camera cutout).

Now I really don't mind the camera, provided I can use the 6.55" 20x9 720p screen. So I'd like to know, if there a way I can permanently disable it? I know Nova launcher and YouTube can somehow bypass it and use the whole screen.
