[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
First, we're not cleaning the screen. We're cleaning a pretty foggy cheap-ass screen protector. The "screen protector" on the OG Fold was actually part of the display substrate and was crystal clear and very sturdy. Looking at the camera cutout you can see that what's under our screen protector looks a lot like the display from the OG Fold. I'm going to take the screen protector off probably sooner than later.

Here's a diagram of the layers of the Fold 2's display. I believe the cheap-ass screen protector covers what's shown as the protective layer. I believe the protective layer was what people called a screen protector on the OG Fold and hosed the display when they tried to peel it off.

As for cleaning I'm doing what I did with my OG Fold. I have a dedicated microfiber sponge that I wet and put a drop of dish soap on then squeeze it out so it's just moist. It cleans the screen well. I also have dedicated device cleaning microfiber towels that I dry it off with. I occasionally wax the display with 100% carnauba wax to get anything off it sponging doesn't. The wax repels fingerprints and anything else that could stick to the screen. After eight months my OG Fold's display looks new. It was a lot less sturdy than the Fold 2 so I expect equal or better results cleaning the Fold 2 the same way. The OG Fold wasn't nearly as fragile as people expected it to be and the Fold 2 which is far better engineered should hold up even better.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] jonstatt:
I would resist the temptation to clean the screen to often. Unlike the outer screen you don't tend to look at it while it is off minimising the appearance of finger grease. Finger grease also helps to hide the multitude of micro scratches you will pick up with regular cleaning. Yes the only damage you will do is to a replaceable screen protector but getting it replaced is a difficult mission. Samsung say they can do it but might need to send it away.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] borgqueenx:
hope for better after market screen protectors with anti fingerprint coatings etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] tifosi256:
Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

FWIW, I got through to Samsung themselves and asked the question and they said to take a dry, microfibre cloth, and clean in a circular motion.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] jonstatt:
That sounds about right. But if there is grit or sand on the screen, dragging it around with a microfiber cloth will still cause scratches. I won't clean my screen unless I really have to.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] dfulgo:
If I look at angles while the screen is off (black) I can see some distortions on the surface, I hope it's the screen protector..., how are yours?

[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] chetly968:
I took off that garbage screen protector cause my finger cannot glide smoothly with it on while I'm playing games which is the only reason I bought the fold. I clean with a microfiber cloth every night using light pressure. Sometimes I roll up the cloth and use it like a feather duster, lol. The fingerprints come right off and I have no micro scratches at all. I've had the thing for a few months now
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You could apply RainX to the screen to make it easier to clean or use a windshield cleaner with it in as a wetting agent + microfiber cloth for cleaning.

I do this sometimes with my screen protector.

As title suggests I'm not happy at all with UI 2.5 which has destroyed my battery and SoT and lost some other features I really liked for my SM-G988B S20 Ultra Exynos model .

Can anyone help with the latest official f/w for UI 2.1 built number code to download it and flash it from Sammobile?

Thanks in advance for any help
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] aldoblaga:
Only if u search for original rom on sammobile and flash through odin. Good luck
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] orbitech:
I searched the archive I think the latest with UI 2.1 was the G988BXXS4ATGB/G988BOXM4ATGB with security patch 2020-08-01.. Can anyone confirm?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] blixer:
You can't downgrade bootloader (bl). It's a mission impossible.

So I think that it won't work.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Sohag0910:
Please let me know if you are able to downgrade to one ui 2.1
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] *Detection*:
That firmware is bootloader v4 and I don't think there is any v5 yet is there? So it should work fine
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] orbitech:
It is v4 and it worked just fine without triggering the knox.. Did a smart switch & samsung account backup before I downgrade at the version I mentioned (latest before UI 2.5 that is) and everything works just fine. I already feel the difference in battery life.. /sigh

Will probably stay here until UI 3.0 if I don't see any other important feature added. Only some camera features I'll miss but battery is the most important thing and I'm not willing to sacrifice an hour or two of SoT for UI 2.5

Thanks all for your help
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] CtrlU:
How on earth you downgraded from UI 2.5 to UI 2.1. Did you flash without unlocking boot loader or without. i have been trying for so many times in Odin and have been stuck on vbmeta.img in the log. many said its impossible

Hello all, i am new here and i do not know if this is the right place to be posting this, so if not please move it, and send me a PM to where it has been moved.

So i have a bug with my T mobile Dash. After i upgraded it to WM6, the camera colors have been messed up! i have also installed Excalibur WM6.1 ROM by Kavana and that did not change my camera problem either (although i must say it is an excellent piece work!) would any one know how to fix my problem? or if i need to reinstall my camera program, how can i do that?

Thank you all for you time

[HTC Excalibur] thisone:
bump ;).................
[HTC Excalibur] vwgtiron:
Heat?

I was wondering if you have let the phone be placed near a heat source? Also have you actually just tried cleaning the lens of the camera itself? The camera program and the drivers are reinstalled each time that you have flashed the ROM on the phone. It can only be a hardware problem if you are experiencing this problem throughout successive installations of different ROM's, AFAIK then this can only be attributed to the hardware. I suggest cleaning the lens however just in case there is a clear buildup of something on the lens. Otherwise someone wiser than I needs to help you out.
[HTC Excalibur] thisone:
sorry for the late reply, was out of the country, but it is different because the colours look so different you can see that the camera is working. but it seems like soemthing has toggled with my camera files when i updated to wm 6
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Do you have to have OMAP turned on to a different CPU rate?
[HTC Excalibur] thisone:
where can i see that?
[HTC Excalibur] Mikey:
Start->All Programs->Accessories

Make sure OmapClock is set to a lower then 150 or disabled.

A more powerful battery very much helps also.

*I have a script that if Camera or Video option is picked it defaults OmapClock.

Mortscript program is needed.

I'm getting extremly poor performance with social media apps like Discord or Twitter. They take a long time to load and usually end up crashing.

Edit: Also, edit your post and change the ROM OS Version. It says it's Android 11.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dhruvgera:
Please report with logs, as no such issue was reported by any person, and this is the correct post, it's Android 11, aka Android R not Android 10.

From my side, as I have a santoni myself, the ROM works just fine and buttery smooth without issues.

hello sir, did the fingerprint sensor worked in this build?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dhruvgera:
As mentioned in the instructions, use opencamera app this is due to Android 11's new policy regarding camera usage, and this is one of the reasons why apps tend to create problems as they aren't optimized for android 11.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dhruvgera:
The UI issues will be fixed in an update coming by today or tomorrow, and as for the apps, the developers need to optimize them for Android 11, it's not a device side issue.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Dhruvgera:
There is a patched build of magisk available on Telegram, i.e Magisk Canary, you need to use that since Topjohnwu still hasn't released a stable version of Magisk for android 11 as of now.

[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] repey6:
OK. But i tried yesterday Canary.
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] ru_vlad1:
"and this is the correct post, it's Android 11, aka Android R not Android 10."

What I meant is that at the bottom of your post it said ROM OS Version: Android 10, but it's not the case anymore since it's edited to show the right version.

Also, the way I had to install it is that I had to do a data format and then do the usual process, otherwise it would bootloop, could that effect anything?

Also also, please change the Version information at the bottom of your post at Status to "Unstable" since some people get problems with newly installed apps.

why magisk canary can't root the rom?? I tried with changing kernel bt this time it didn't boot up. Is there any issue with rooting this rom?
[Xiaomi Redmi 4X ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] TinchoX89:
Had serious issues with the rom, out of the box works fine, but when I installed gapps it all went downhill fast!

apps freezing or not responding, phone overheating, random restarts....you name it.

(I blame gapps and the alternatives for it though, prolly not ready for Android 11)

It's a cool concept but I just don't think my phone can handle this ROM yet, much to fix and a lot more to polish, might try again later when the ROM has matured a bit more ( in the near future hopefully 👍🏻)

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

Been a long time Sony Xperia fan, i still am, but I like what Samsung has to offer.

Could I get help with this variant of the Samsung S20+ plus g9860, as far as I know this is the Hong Kong version and will work with UK5G n78 band, are all the same with this variant regardless where you buy it and again just to confirm it will work with UK 5g?

Also, may I ask, is their a maximum recording time limit for 4k 60 FPS? Or other video modes?, currently and in the past the Sony devices don't have a limit and I have literally recorded 2hrs non stop 4k 30 FPS until the battery ran out. .

I understand the 8k has a time limit of 10 minutes, please help with the above thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] varcor:
The SM-G9860 are made in Hong Kong, China and Taiwan. The Hong Kong variant will accommodate 5G on SIM 2 and has less bloatware than the China and Taiwan variants. Not sure about recording times.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Klopers33:
You may want to keep in mind that if you run into any problems with imported device you then have to depend on seller who may or may not assist you with getting device repaired, as warranty from china is not valid in EU - after all the recent updates, my s20+ exynos variant works perfectly fine and personally i wouldnt risk warranty for slightly better cpu
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Android_UK:
It's true that is one aspect I was thinking long and hard on, but I just think the SD 865 has gains overs the exynos 990.

I do have a month to test and check it out and if I decide to keep it then I do have 12 months warranty. Good thing about it, is I have paid through PayPal so, I could always raise a dispute if it ever came to them not holding up their end of the agreement.

I'm hopeful that the phone will last me a couple of years.

I have been reading just to much on the fact the European version of the processor installed is not good overall.
