Well the way I've decided to combat this is by subscribing to Samsungs access program where I pay like 40 a month and in 9 months I can upgrade to the note 21 or S21 (if I choose to switch). I had the note 9 for 2 years and what I've noticed is I refuse to outright sell my phones for cheap rates after dropping 1200 plus on it. So now I've accumulated phones over the years since Samsung switched up and stopped allowing the early upgrade program with carriers. I got stuck with an s7 plus and 2 note 9s that are just collecting dust. I'm not selling either one for a few hundred dollars. And with insurance from Verizon, if anything happens to my phone I can just get a refurbished one sent to me and then I'll just trade that one back in when I'm ready to upgrade next year. This way I get the fresh new flagships every year and stop accumulating phones. The only downside is the fact that I wanted a phone with dual sim capabilities but Samsung only sells single sim in the US. I guess you can't have it all. Hopefully they eventually fix this issue and provide esim and/or dual sim capable phones in the future.

Now as far as smaller phones, I am not too sure. I believe all the major brands now have been offering smaller variations like the s20 e or fe or whatever its called. The only downside to this is I believe although they are cheaper then the full size flagships, they sadly do have less features and/or tech such as the cameras.

Well I have attachedy antutu/geekbench results and I am shocked to see that they are worse, especially the antutu score. I'm using the snapdragon SM-G9860
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] aldoblaga:
Really good cpu multicore score..can never achieve more than 3100 on exynos sadly...but exynos cpu single core is awesome when a custom kernel is at stake. Cheers and thanks for sharing. It s an awesome chipset/soc anyway...much better than stock exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] stefan243546:
How's the battery life on your custom kernel exynos 990?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] aldoblaga:
Still in testing but so far it s not worse than stock..i can say the least.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Guides, News] s20_plus:
What kernel are you using? Can you provide a link please?

Sure thing

That's great, but do you have a link to download the actual kernel for the 986B/DS?

[Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 Pro Questions & Answers] supermike23:
I have a Redmi Note 5 Pro from last Saturday while uploading Instagram stories as usual, the phone decided to crash. So I turned it off and back on though got stuck with MI Logo and Bootloop. The device said it's unlocked but apparently seems not to.

I CANNOT go into recovery mode.

I CANNOT flash any recovery too.

I have connected the device to my laptop (Windows 10) through fastboot try to flash any recovery: OrangeFox, TWRP, no success.

I either run a powershell or run CMD as Admin

This is the error:

c:\adb fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

Sending 'recovery' (31161 KB) OKAY [ 0.669s]

Writing 'recovery' FAILED (remote: 'Error flashing partition : Write Protected')

fastboot: error: Command failed

So I try this command: fastboot boot recovery.img

It loads the recovery either TWRP or OrangeFox but only the Logo nothing else.

It doesn't RUN any official MIUI recovery.

So, now I can use ADB commands.

The phone is seen connected to Windows 10 as USB but I guess not MTP mode but only as charging mode.

In the "Safely Remove Hardware" section I can see the device connected and its name as Redmi Note 5 Pro.

Of course I can't see the device in the Explorer and any folder as the OS hasn't loaded at all.

Now, though, I can run ADB commands, so I typed: run devices and it says it's in recovery mode, also with the number of the device.

Then with ADB SHELL LS command

I can see the folder tree

With Push and Pull commands, I can copy folders, but cannot access and copy the content of SDCARD and STORAGE.

I know those folders are protected even though my phone should be unlocked but apparently it is not then.

It's really ridiculous that there is no a way around this.

Why, if I am the owner the unlock process have to reset phone data?

It's so stupid! They should have developed a public/private key or a long key to unlock those folder by registering your phone with SN and IMEI number.

So surprised Google and any brand don't do that.

If I connect the device in fastboot mode, I have those details:

fastboot oem device-info

(bootloader) Verity mode: true

(bootloader) Device unlocked: true

(bootloader) Device critical unlocked: true

(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

OKAY [ 0.006s]

Finished. Total time: 0.006s

Is there a WAY with lower level commands or software to access to data with "write protected" inside the phone memory?

I would love to recover my Whatsapp folder and my DCIM folder with every files in those.

Or the only solution is to give the Device to experts and do the CHIP Off recovery data?

Will MiFlash with a MIUI rom with save user data option actually save my data and hence Whatsapp and DCIM folder and its content inside?

Please Help!

If anyone can HELP to successfully recover my data seriously I would be more than happy to give a compensation via PayPal cause I would truly appreciated the infinite effort and help!

Thanks in advance to anyone who can sponsor the cause!

I am so pissed as the phone should be under 2 years warranty but of course no brand would cover and help you through those issues!

Such A PITY!

Kind regard,

Michael

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] NeoXTC:
Hi,

I was wondering if there's an option somewhere to save sms to sim card instead of the internal storage. I want it to save to sim card until it's full and then start saving to storage. This was how it functioned in my previous Nokia phone.

If someone can help it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] Carty:
Not on the SIM and not on the Internal Storage too! WinMo is designed to store them on Main Memory only to which it considers reliable and have access all the time unlike Storage cards. Power to Storage cards are shut-down when not in use to save battery!

Regards,

Carty..
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Newerabs:
I just got the Pixel 5 and I'm curious why some games are showing up full screen but most cut off the left side right under the notch? Is there a way to fix this or is it on the developer? It's odd because on my S20 Plus the same games play full screen with no issues so it seems to be a Pixel thing?
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Supeemeb:
Still no solution? Got a Pixel 4a and this is exactly my problem aswell..how bad.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
It's not just games. A lot of apps do that in landscape as well, like Google Maps and Telegram. There's a new Magisk module that fixes it though.

Download the module from here.

Flash it with Magisk Manager and reboot.

Go to settings > Developer Options and scroll down to "Display Cutout" and choose the Pixel 5 option.

That's it, no more black bar.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
See my reply above. This mod will work for you too, but the Pixel 5 option might not work as well as the OnePlus FHD choice. Try them both to see which works best.
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Supeemeb:
Could you link the main repo for this mod? Or a forum topic?

No forum/thread yet. It's new and not released officially. Here's the github for it though: https://github.com/logmd/N3O-No-Nonsense-Notch-Overlay/

[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] xunholyx:
It's built into the Pixel 5/ 4a to hide the front facing camera hole
[Google Pixel 5 Questions & Answers] Red.Dot:
Wow. It is ugly and annoying. It looks like Google is not even trying to fix it. Since I just bought my Pixel 5, I only have 2 choices to fix the issue. Return the phone and get a different brand or root my new phone to fix the problem.

So much for pure Android experience.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] wizzlebizzle:
Stuck on the fence between the two options. Storage space isn't as compelling to me as I already have an SD card for expanded storage.

What's everyone's thoughts? Worth the extra cost for 33% more RAM?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] bs3pro:
Save your $
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] gottahavit:
with the price drops at best buy it was only 30 dollars difference so I opted to return the 128gb model and get the 256.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] mad0701:
The biggest issue on an external memory is: to slow, not all things can moved on the SD Card. Internal less memory let lost the fun of the tablet. Thats my experience of the last years. About this one I move to the 256G part
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] gottahavit:
you need to buy cards marked U3, not U1 that guarantees minimum 30MB/s(240mbps) write speed. That's what I buy for shooting 4k 60ps drone footage which tops 120mbps. They are still not as fast as internal storage, but for movies and other data files they are great.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] mad0701:
The card is only the half way. You can used the fastest card of the World, if the interface to the card id slow. The tranferrate to and from the SDCard ist one of the negative point of the galaxy tab S7 in the technical reviews (Could be better for this device)

You can compare this with a SSD on a SATA2 .The SSD could be faster , but the tx/rx rate from the hardware is not faster and brake the performance
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] marctronixx:
abso-smurfly worth the cost if you do heavy video or into multitasking and using DEX. if you do lite email and occasional gaming, its not worth it. but im a power user and the extra 100 dollars was pocket change for me to gain that extra ram.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] gottahavit:
well running benchmark U1 vs U3 I'm getting 90/70MBs(u3) vs 70/40MBs(u1). Which is close to the quoted max rate on the card. Now that's nothing compared to internal storage which I'm guessing is true SSD which tests out at nearly 1GBs, which definitely makes the extra 128gb + 2 GB of RAM a great deal for 30 dollars.

Still the U3 card is a solid performance boost.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] wizzlebizzle:
Thanks everyone for the input, appreciate it.

Considering the price difference isn't that much, I decided to go big.

One thing I'm a bit bummed about is that the 256GB model only has one color option - I realize it's just cosmetic but I would have liked the mystic silver option. I'm just limited to the black option.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] SteveRiley:
Hm, what area of the world are you ordering from? Here in the US, the 256 GB model is available in silver. I have one, and it's also showing as available in Samsung's store.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] mad0701:
In Germany the 256G version are in black, silver and bronze available
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] gottahavit:
After a week, I'm glad I went with the upgrade. Ended up paying 700 even for the 7+ and got 50$ GC on the side and the speed of the internal storage is amazing. Add to that the extra RAM. I like Black :)
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] AhsanU:
If you're asking about RAM - don't worry. 6 GB is plenty on the tablet. I was worried at first too but after having 6 tabs open on Chrome, YouTube vanced in picture-in-picture mode, and Microsoft Word open - there were no delays or lag. Ymmv, but I don't have any issues.

That being said, if the difference in price is about 30-50$ I'd consider it. The added RAM makes it more future proof and if you don't need a MicroSD card with the added base storage, then you come out on top since the external storage just isn't as fast.

Is there any way to shift the clock and notification icons further right? They are cut off by the camera cutout.

Might be nice to increase the status bar width by a few points to reduce content that gets cut out.

I marked roughly where the camera is in red. Thanks - Appreciate your efforts as always.
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jaythenut:
Working great for me on November update ?
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] sean222:
Viper4Android and Google Sans font only. Couple other people says it works on November update so it must be something with my device. I'll remove all mods but this and try again later.
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] wgrant:
Just added to mine and it looks great except the clock being behind the camera. Love the size change. Maybe Tulsa can add some padding to move the clock over. Not sure about the notification pull down. Personally I don't ever check the date there so it's a fine loss to gain the smaller status bar.

Greatly appreciate the work Tulsa. Always making the Pixels just that much better.
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:

Here they are from lineage-18.1-20210414-nightly-redfin-signed.zip.
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
If you want to remove the navbar, I'll also need the services.jar from system/framework folder.
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] alexmeo:
No, it's ok, it can be done via settings, and clock positioning also via settings works.
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
So you just want the statusbar size fix to 44?
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] alexmeo:
True)

I noticed also, when I use this module a lot of apps (like uc browser) runs true full screen, like I watch the movie - it is also the goal of this module
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
You are welcome to try this. But with a custom rom, I don't know if it will work.
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] alexmeo:

[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] lwrncslcd:
Hi! Been a fan of your work the very day I bought my Pixel 5 a month ago.

I'd like to ask a favor if it's possible for the status bar size to go smaller? I'd like to have symmetry between the statusbar and the gesture-pill bacground. I think the pill background is just a little bit smaller than the your statusbar size fix. Pls see screenshot to confirm.

Also, I have G-Visual Mod magisk module installed for hidding the gesture-pill (but not the background of the pill) as this does not break Google Camera functionality. And at the same time I'm using the status bar padding from the same G-Visual module because your clock position fix does not work with ProtonAOSP rom (clock is hidden behind the camera hole and the custom padding I used is 24dp).

Thank you so much! Would appreciate it a lot if you look into my request and I'll send some your way.

Edit: did some rough math in photoshop and 20dp-16dp would be ideal, best if 16 and I don't care how ridiculously small the icons and time becomes haha, I just want that damn symmetry
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Tulsadiver:
You are welcome to try this. 18 dip.

The reason these don't work together is part of the mods are modifying the SystemUI and you can't modify it twice.
[Google Pixel 5 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Jiggs82:
Hey dev off topic but if its possible on latest dp3 android 12 Google seemed to have removed the ringer/volume icons for status bar but it only shows in qs header which is weird so is there a way u can add them back?

Not on dp3. Editing smali or resources.arsc causes bootloop.
