[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] varcor:
Exynos devices are potluck, you could have no problems or be dealing with the known defects. Snapdragon variants are available for the same price on eBay however without the buds. If carrier aggregation is important buy your carrier's device and cross your fingers.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] FrozenLord:
I would advise against going for the 20 (and it's variants).

Battery life is nothing to write home about and only becomes somewhat decent when heavily debloating.

If you are looking at that price range, there are a lot of nice options that I would prefer over the S20 range.

I would check which Snaldragon-based devices have got Lineage OS support as that is a big hint at being able to get away from the (sometimes) bloated stock image.

Going this way should provide nice battery life :)
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] tuxdreamerx:
I have an ongoing issue that I have search and searched on and seen some conversations here and there about it but never found a good solution and its getting quite old so I figured I would post here and hope someone might have a solution.

So I have an Xtrons PX5 unit currently on Malaysk Android 9 paid ROM, latest build, I believe 1.3.5. My current phone is an iPhone 11 Pro Max running iOS 14. The problem is when I turn on the hotspot the radio will usually connect right away but only stay connected for a minute or two then disconnect, if I don't catch it right away I have to re enable the hotspot and the head unit reconnects, if its been a minute and the iPhone has shut down the hot spot I turn it back on and it reconnects, sometimes I have to do this 4-5 times before it stays stable other times it is fine for awhile on the first connections.

As I mentioned this has been happening for awhile, this was happening on the totally stock ROM just the same, when I had an Android as a hotspot there were NO issues whatsoever on either rom. I have also had this occur on multiple iPhone's over the last year or two including a 7, 8, X and now the 11 as well as iOS version's 12, 13 and now 14 I have set several of these iPhones up as new (Not restoring backups) with the same results so I think its safe to say it is not an issue with my iPhone.

I have tried resetting network settings on the head unit as well as a couple of factory resets over the last year with no improvements.

Anything you can think of to try would be greatly appreciated.

What does apple support suggest.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] Bob_Sanders:
I know that Apple's ios 13 was plagued with frequent disconnect complaints. Not sure it was fixed in 14 (I'm not an apple user), but it's most likely still an apple problem. I have no issues at all connecting any of the androids we have around here.
[MTCD  Android Head Units Q&A] typos1:
Did you sort this @tuxdreamerx ? I recommended someone get an MTCD/E head unit and they have the same problem with their iphone 8, its driving them nuts cos they cant use the internet at all, it rarely stays connected, yet my Android phone works on the unit fine.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] carlm3:
Hello. It's been a year since release of this tablet, so Is there any custom roms available for the SM-T290 (Galaxy Tab A 2019 8 inch")? Like Lineage OS?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Reick7:
Hello friend, unfortunately there is only one rom, made by a member of the forum, an improved version of the stock, but you can try a rom via treble, since our device supports updating by this method, I am testing some myself.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Fusseldieb:
I have a T295 (the only difference is that is has mobile data afaik) and would also like to get Lineage on it, since the stock rom is extremely slow, even with very few apps, disabled animations and whatnot.

How would installing via Treble work on Samsung devices, especifically this one? @Reick7

EDIT: nvm, found it, seems to support both T290 and T295 as in: https://github.com/phhusson/treble_experimentations/wiki

I'm going to try and install it and report back!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Reick7:
well, i haven't tested it for a long time, as i've passed the tab to someone else, but the one i tested doesn't work as well as i expected, it was the Resurrection Remix Q
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Fusseldieb:
@Reick7 Couldn't get it to work, sadly.

I tried to install Treble but it hangs on the initial boot screen aka "Samsung Tab A" + unlocked bootloader screen, never gets past that and reboots indefinitely.

I tried A, A/B and all sorts of things in TWRP like wiping, resizing and whatnot.

What could be the cause?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Fusseldieb:
Tried downgrading to stock Android 9.0 and flashed everything (BL, AP, CP and CSC), let it boot, shut it down, then put TWRP with vbmeta on it and flashed the LOS GSI (A only) with it.

TWRP succeeded sucessfully, I reboot and it's stuck on the bootloader screen with the unlocked warning, reboots, gets a black screen, reboots, ...

I really have no idea.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Reick7:
hi friend, when we install a stock rom we need to activate developer mode and OEM unlock before making any changes, otherwise your device will be locked.i believe that's the case for you, try to reinstall the same stock system you put in before the lockdown, and about gsi, unfortunately i don't know any that work well.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Fusseldieb:
Yes, I did that. I could install TWRP, but that's about it. No GSI will boot, it doesn't even reach the android boot screen, it just shows the bootloader unlock screen and reboots.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Reick7:
unfortunately GSI might even work at all, but the overall performance of the tablet won't allow it to be good, I remember testing some GSI when I had the tablet in my hands, nothing worked

[Samsung Galaxy Tab A series Questions & Answers] Minionguyjpro:
To answer your question: Yes. This device supports both AOSP and GSI ROMs. If you are searching for a LineageOS ROM, there is one:

[ROM][OFFICIAL][13] LineageOS 20.0 for SM-T290 (gtowifi)

WARNING: Samsung rolled out a new firmware update starting roughly at the end of January 2023. This contains bootloader version 4. From what we understand with SM-T295 bootloaders, this may or may not permanently lock you out from ever flashing...

It does not exist that long yet, but it is an official LineageOS 20 ROM which works, I have installed it on my SM-T290!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ocipalla:
Guys,

What should i do to make the contact photo in my diamond looks bright like in htc.com (the demo).

Already photoshoped the photos and no matter how great and how bright i edited the photo, but still in the contact section of touchFLO 3D the photo looks blur. :confused:
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NielDK:
I suggest:

1. Low resolution of the picture (120x160 pixels is the size I believe)

2. Use High contrast to make clearer.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ocipalla:
thanks.....i'll try that....:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] tnyynt:
Wrong!

Contact photo picture should be 256x256 pixels!

MOD: Please post in relevant forums. This is ROM Development!
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ocipalla:
ok thanks....sorry about the wrong thread in wrong section thing ..:)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] damogwai:
Go to the picture you want to set with HTC Album. If you want you can zoom in on the picture to crop. Then you can choose "save in contacts" (or something like that: i have a Dutch device) by pressing the right menubutton.

Your contactspicture will be set in the right resolution now!

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] RKCRLR:
I've been booting LibreELEC/CoreELEC from SD card on my AZW (Beelink) W95 (S905W) box for years now. Yesterday I tried booting into the stock Android system (7.1 I think- I haven't done it for a while) but it wouldn't boot. Not being one to leave well enough alone I decided to try a reset using a toothpick in the reset hole by the power plug. It flashed the start screen for a split second and then stopped. After that it wouldn't boot off the CoreELEC SD card either.

I've tried a clean CoreELEC install, stock firmware, Amlogic Burn Card Maker, and TWRP on the SD card - none of them get me past a black screen.

I don't think the reset button is doing anything (I depress it while plugging in the power jack). In fact, I don't know if it ever worked. My box had previously always booted off a SD card if it was inserted in the slot without having to do anything special.

My box isn't completely dead but comatose. The signs of life are:

1) The blue LED comes on when I plug in the power cord.

2) After about 20 minutes or so the blue LED will go off. If I press the power button on the remote it comes back on.

3) My router sees it on my network as active. But I get connection refused when I try access it using Windows File Explorer or try to SSH into it using Putty.

4) When I insert a SD card into the slot it writes Andriod and LOST.DIR folders to it.

I haven't tried the Amlogic USB Burning Tool yet because I don't have an USB 2.0 Type A male to male cable - but I've ordered one. My concern is I won't be able to put it in reset mode since I'm not sure the reset button does anything (but I can feel it click).

Is there anything else I should try while I'm waiting for my cable to arrive?

Any recommendations on how I should proceed once my cable arrives?

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] aidanmacgregor:
Hi, your device seems to be in a strange state currently, only thing i can reccomend is trying a few firmwares to see what works for you, you should be able to flash most s905w based roms, if your device cant be detected by USB burn tool you might need to use ask Rom Mode" to force your box to be detected by burn tool, this makes it almost impossible to brick a box :)
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] RKCRLR:
Thanks for the suggestions, I'm a complete newbie at this.

Is the Ask ROM Mode an option in USB Burning Tool?

I have an OEM W95 firmware update file (in both .img and and an OTA in .zip format) but they may be older than what is currently on the box. I also found a TWRP file for the S905W. But I don't know how to use any of these.

I downloaded the AMLogic Tools 6.0.0 and tried the AMLogic Flash Tool since it seems to work through the Ethernet port. I assumed this because you access the box via an IP address but I really don't know. I watched the video but couldn't find any detailed instructions on how to use it.

When I pressed the Connect button it said it connected and I had the green Connected display (I was connecting through my LAN - I don't know if I should connect directly with an ethernet cable). I loaded my .img file and said Flash. It says it is flashing and a second or so later it says SUCCESS! However the box still doesn't boot. I tried both Boot and Recovery (I don't know which option I should choose). I think that the SUCCESS! message is incorrect since I get the message even if I press the Flash button without the box connected. However, I can't connect to the box without the ethernet cable connected so the connected message seems correct.

Am I using the AMLogic Flash Tool correctly?

I was thinking about trying the S905W atvExperience ROM but thought I'd wait until I got my USB cable before before doing something more drastic.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks
[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] RKCRLR:
OK, so my male to male USB cable arrived and I managed to get my box un-bricked using AMLogic USB Burning tool with a factory .img file. It took several tries. I kept getting errors when it tried to erase the bootloader or would get to 7%, progress would stop for about a minute, and then Burning Tool would close.

I finally got it to proceed all the way by holding in the reset button, plugging in the USB cable (no power cable), and keeping the reset button pushed the whole time (I don't know if this was just a coincidence). Also, I hadn't closed Burning Tool after the previous error erasing the bootloader. I'm posting all this in case someone else has a similar problem.

After that, it still wouldn't boot of the CoreELEC SD card with the reset button pushed down. It would go straight into the Android OS. I got it to boot into CoreELEC by installing the Reboot to LibreELEC app. Now it always restarts in CoreELEC the way it used to when the SD card is left in. I think this is how I got LibreELEC working years ago.

So, now I'm contemplating installing atvXperience but I have a couple of questions:

What would be the best way to install atvXperience without being able to the reset button to put the box into recovery mode?

What would be the best way to prepare for not being able to use the reset button to put the box into recovery mode if something were to go wrong during flashing?

Thanks for any help.

[Android Stick & Console AMLogic based Computers] RKCRLR:
Another follow up post for anyone with the same problem. I did some searching and found out I'm not the only one with a box that the reset button doesn't work. A work around for them was to connect the male to male USB cable, load the image into Burning Tool, press Start, and then plug in the power supply. The image file would then start flashing.

However, my box would start booting as soon as I connected the USB cable (didn't need the power supply). So I loaded the image into Burning Tool, pressed Start, and then connected the USB cable. This appears to be the work around for my box (I probably did this when I got my box to recover the first time - holding the reset button was probably irrelevant).

This procedure works for the stock firmware but when I try to flash the atvXperience image file the box hangs at 7%. So I still need some help there.

Also, is there a ATV ROM better suited for my S905W box (2/16 GB)?

My Samsung Galaxy A30 (A305G) doesn't turn on. It stays in bootloop and if I try to boot into Recovery, it doesn't work. The device has the bootloader locked and it also doesn't let me flash any stock / official firmware.

When I boot into recovery, some letters appear at the bottom of the screen, which say the following:

after that, it restarts, returns to recovery and repeats the same infinitely, a kind of bootloop but in recovery.
