Just install the app called YouTube Vanced from their website. It will just skip right over the ads like they're not even there. You'll need to install that plus MicroG in order to be able to login.. IF you use and have Google Chrome browser running you need to force stop it and disable it until you're done signing in otherwise the sign in will just sit there and not work.. You can enable it again after it's installed and you're logged in to.. Choose one of the NON ROOT versions and install both YouTube Vanced and MicroG found here. https://www.mediafire.com/folder/773e97cz2ezx1/AddFree_Youtube_BackgroundPlay_Enabled

When you use either samsung internet or beta ver., in their bucket under app settings they call ad-ons, there is an ad-block app selection called ad-block for YouTube(you'll see it in the drop-down menu), and that's probably the same one the other gentleman already responded to you with?

It's by-far, the best one I've ever test drove, as I'm not a great fan of those!:laugh:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Snowleopard1900:
lol I remember when you tube did not have any adds, then it was short ads every few videos, then it was ads at the beginning and end of video now there are more ads than videos. I would love to strip all the ads out of you tube, but don't want any malware installed on my phone.... lol

Im very new to Android and finally made the switch after over a decade using iPhone, Question that I can't find a true answer to is would I possibly get banned for using YouTube Vanced and being logged in on my main google account on the app?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] willcor:
My advice would be plain and simple.

Use Samsung Internet Browser.

I know it's not perfect, but for me not bad at all.

I'm sure it's a good alternative.?

I really got so fed up with YouTube ads that i looked for a good straight forward alternative...

(I also did not want to use YouTube Vance etc..)

Saw remarks about Samsung internet browser,

started using it,

Very surprised, it was fast smooth etc.

With Samsung offering , free to install, add ons, to the browser....

AdBlockers and also a free to install, YouTube AdBlocker,

See screenshot.

i must admit i have not seen one advert, when browsing YouTube.

Note

I'm logged into YouTube with my Google account.

So my advice is to use Samsung Internet Browser

to browse YouTube until you get a better option.?

Good luck.

YouTube will continue to play

Perfect for me as I do a lot of driving...

Just tried it with Samsung browser screen times out youtube stops playing

Something for you to maybe think about?

Vote for Vanced. The latest version has an option to remove (+) button even. It allows to hide all these distracting tiles, gifs, stories etc, leaving the pure video clips only.

When I search google play store I only see :AdGuard: Content Blocker for Samsung and Yandex

and it says " AdGuard Content Blocker is a free Android app that blocks ads in the Yandex browser and Samsung Internet mobile browser without root permissions. This AdGuard’s ad-blocking app works specifically in these two web browsers."

is there another version that you use for system wide ads?

Im also a fan of samsung browser but that butt ugly grey color they use is absolutely disgusting.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] willcor:
My Samsung Internet Browser, is not grey..?

It's black, as in black.... ..!

Settings itself is a bit greyish but other web pages black

see example YouTube page. Google etc

All i did was in Samsung Internet Browser /settings / Dark mode / or if you wish.... Light mode...

see screenshot.s

Good luck

Post note

Forgot to mention.....

Your device has to be set to Dark Mode overall,

then in Samsung Internet settings set also to Dark mode.

I also see what you mean with that grey ish.....!

Yes, some websites is mixture of that grey and black...!

So i guess you are right.... . with that "ugly grey".!

On my Note 20 i use Samsung Internet

mostly for YouTube and then YouTube, is black for me.

On my Samsung Tablet, i do use Vance.

Good luck.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] willcor:
Yes ,that's correct.... see link

https://adguard.com/en/welcome.html...IjaS_YA0wyXcduHORliYYD-qxzEuZgAkaAtjtEALw_wcB

It is not in the Play store...

Google does not take kindly to AdBlocker apps...!

I have got Adguard Premium... ( but there is a free version.)

For System, in apps adverts, games etc

very very good.... excellent.....

The best.!

Been using it for years.!

Unfortunately it struggles with ads in YouTube.

Then I have got separate Adguard for Samsung internet.

Then i also have Adguard VPN...

Works smoothly and integrates well into Adguard Prime.

(Very easy to use.)

Free version , Adguard VPN gives you 3 Gigs. data

Subscription.. unlimited data.

What, what, what?!!!

My Samsung browsers are have pure black backgrounds.

You running in dark mode and/or browser theme?

Or is this yet another Q or 20U glitch?

Or did Sammy screw this up with a recent browser update?

I tend to avoid updating anything if it's running well... unless the update has tangible gains I want.

The latest Brave update screwed up the blocker toggles and still didn't get dark mode right... and no way to save bookmarks directly as a file. Goofballs.

Take a look at your firewall as Brave can be a real hog running constantly in the background.

I may toss this app soon.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Ten percent or less is pure black on samsung browser. Just those areas behind the results are dark. Rest is dark grey.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Pics attached
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
That's acceptable and neccessary. On the new Brave dark theme you can't easily see reply boxes and end up guessing where they are on some sites... lol that ain't working right at all. Plus instead of the pure black top/bottom bars tard Brave will show bright white sometimes. It will also juxtapose to white areas that should be medium grey on some websites.

Yeah that gets it... not.

No issues like that on Sammy, it's a dark neutral gray which is pretty damn near perfect for overall usability. Works well on all sites as best I can tell.

The only thing I don't like are the controls on the bottom... the rabid gerbils strike again.

I only use the Kiwi Browser with an Ublock Extension on the youtube site. Youtube Vanced (root) is nice too and it is more faster, don't need Adblock.

You guys can use the Kiwi Browser with a Dark Mode Extension.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] copota:
I use the Firefox Browser with uBlock Add-on, plus Dark Reader Add-on to get a dark mode in YouTube. Simply bookmark YouTube in Firefox, and add the bookmark to your home screen, and it's like you're using the YouTube app. Plus, it even keeps playing when the screen is locked so you can continue listening to the videos.

Only downside I found, is the fullscreen aspect ratio is not the same like in the YouTube app. Firefox does some weird cropping, but not a deal breaker for me, especially since I get full ad-blocking in Firefox.

These days I avoid any and all apps that require to be installed outside of the Play Store. I have too many banking apps on my phone, and want the security of the phone uncompromised. Also, using apps like AdGuard? You do realize you're sending your data through thier servers to get ad-blocking. Not very secure if you ask me.

Back in the day, when I rooted my phones, nothing beat AdAway from F-Droid. But, as I mentionind, I stay clear of rooting, ROMs, 3rd party DNS servers, and apps outside of the Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Tonyy1206:
go through all that just to use YouTube lol. & You avoid apps outside the playstore for security reasons but use Add-on extensions that would do the same thing as an app. I encourage you to check the permissions needed for Ublock & Dark Reader addon to be installed. Same permissions an app would ask for. Only way a phone gets compromised is if you let it by not having Two-Factor Authentication in all your accounts and notifications of unrecognized devices or ip addresses.

Hey all,

So ever since 10.3.5, my WiFi has been terrible on my phone.

I use my WiFi to stream Hulu Live TV, Netflix, Disney +, etc etc. No issues. No buffering, no lag, no connection issues.

On my phone, no dice. It's slow and won't load apps. I often find myself switching to cell signal because it is more reliable.

Anyone else experiencing this?

To all with your new toy, the beautiful Raphael. Ive got a couple of battery related question. Does the battery run out quickly? how long would a full charge last you and what type of usage are we talking about. I know its still early days and testing hasnt really been done, but my touch pro battery uncertainty is the only thing holding me back from breaking the bank.

Cheers

From experience, it takes several charge / discharge cycles before you get the max out of a battery, even with Li Ion, however not as bad as the old NICAD's !
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] b0yce:
I am charging it throughout business day (day 3 now) with the USB cable whilst connected using Active Sync. This seems a slower charge as you would expect and by the time I leave the office it is fully charged. I have only charged it once from AC power and that was when I first got it.

I will charge it from the AC again over the weekend without any intermittent USB charge and let you know next week how well the battery lasts!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ardsar:
USB charging will be slower - generally the max current from a USB hub is 500mA shared between each USB port. he mains power supply is rated at 1A.

Have you noticed the illuminated HTC log on the power supply?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] b0yce:
Yes how cool is that! First thing I checked, because when charging it from AC and phone not switched on, I couldn't tell whether it was charging and then noticed the White Logo! Then later noticed the dial on the phone swirling round as well! :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ukdj78:
Mine doesn't seem to be lasting very long, I only got it about this time yesterday. I fully charged it before I even switched it on, by about 11PM last night I was getting battery low warnings, Charged it overnight and I was getting battery low warnings by about 12:30 this afternoon again :( It's now having its third charge in 24 hours!!!

Maybe I'm just using the damn thing too much! :D

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Or a rain drop...

On that note be aware the protective film can wear if not removed and end up in the jack.

Try to keep the plug and jack as clean as possible.

If cleaning it doesn't help and you tried a known good cable(s), try clearing to system cache on the boot menu.

Don't just clear caches; sometimes you need to clear the data for that apk.

If Developer Options are enabled temporarily turn them off.

You can try a soft reset too.

And I see only 25% scale for backlight and 20% for volume in SPB.

[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] nienic:
Hello,

Couple weeks ago MIUI ended weekly support for Mi 8. I still use Xiaomi EU weekly 20.9.4, but I guess it's time to go stable now. What is the best option for today? Pros and cons? What do you think?
[Xiaomi Mi 8 Questions & Answers] sorfat:
Xiaomi.eu stable is on MIUI 12, global stable is on MIUI 11. They both work well, guess you need to figure out if you need/want the MIUI 12 stuff or not.

Those are your options for sticking with MIUI.

As far as custom rom, pick your choice from the ones available here, the most mature choice would be Lineage but it's up to your own preference.
[Moto Z3 Play Questions & Answers] mikegudar:
I have been using a moto z3 play since its launch, and it has been a solid phone. However, it has stopped receiving updates, I am stuck on Android 9 when it was supposed to receive up to Android 10.

The stock ROM is acceptable, but the lack of a system-wide dark mode, the constant lag/freezing, and the lack of customization options has made me think about flashing a custom ROM. I am not a heavy user, I use my phone for basic tasks and play light games from time to time.

Right now I have two options for custom ROM:

1.- Resurrection Remix 7 Official (based on Android 9): ROM that I have used before in different devices, I know perfectly well for its almost unlimited customization options and excellent battery life thanks to the Pixel+ custom kernel. However this ROM will not receive any updates either.

2.- Android 11 GSI: I have been listening to the wonders of the GSI, however, personally I have never installed one, it catches my attention because it is the latest version of Android but I do not know how it will react with my low-end device (Snapdragon 636).

Could you help me decide which one is better or if there is a better option that I have not considered?

[Huawei Watch] lvt2010:
So I have custom watch face working on my GT2, but I can only install them one by one, the Health app just keeps the last installed custom watch face, none of the previously installed watch faces is present.

So how can I have my own list of custom watch faces?

Thanks.
[Huawei Watch] lvt2010:
Ok so I somehow managed to store the custom watch faces on my GT2. I don't know if there is a limit in quantity but actually I have at least twenty watch faces installed.View attachment 5116385
[Huawei Watch] webdzdz:
How did you manage to do this. Thank you
[Huawei Watch] Buffy_crp:
How?
[Huawei Watch] lvt2010:
I uninstalled the existing Huawei Health app and use everything from this webpage (the link came from an Youtube clip).

Files list: https://mega.nz/folder/xQgFgCSS#gFMrebBNtgILX_Sp4FdNFQ/folder/0N53SIIJ

Youtube: https://youtu.be/7Z0VKqa5jyY

Do not use the latest Health app as it didn't work for me, just use the Health app from the above link.

My installation order was:

1. Install Taichi app, play a bit with the app's setting to let it update itself (it might happen or not depending on your android version).

2. Install Huawei Health app.

3. Install Huawei Mobile Service app.

4. Install multiple faces app.

5. Close all apps.

6. Open Taichi app, use the + button to "create" the Huawei Health and Huawei Mobile Service. It might take several minutes to finish each task.

7. Use the same + button to manage modules, check the multiple faces module.

If everything is OK you should be able to upload and store your custom watch faces in your GT2.
[Huawei Watch] lvt2010:
The two required apps should appear clean in the list like this, your there is a red notice under either app, click to repair (Taichi will do it for you).View attachment 5116865
[Huawei Watch] lvt2010:
Make sure you checked the multiple faces app to include it in the service.View attachment 5116867
[Huawei Watch] lvt2010:
In case of problem, long press on the app to launch it again. I found that sometimes the Huawei Mobile Service would need a "kick" from here to make it work.View attachment 5116869
[Huawei Watch] lvt2010:
Please note that while this method work perfectly, you won't be able to change the watch faces from your phone (like you usually do with the stock Health app) but you have to do it from your watch. The Health app would just upload and store the files on your watch.

And as you can see in the pic I uploaded, the uploaded files don't have an avatar when seen from the phone, so you must use the filenames while working with the watch faces. However you can preview all the watch faces in your watch normally.
[Huawei Watch] lvt2010:
Editing...
[Huawei Watch] lvt2010:
It turned out that the max number of faces you can store in your watch is 32.
