Google has been getting pretty overbearing when it comes to DNS lately. They're really pushing for DNS to be served over HTTPS, which makes sense from a "bypass port 53 redirects" perspective, but is terrible from a privacy and control-your-own-destiny perspective, since it basically allows the DNS to be addressed at the application level rather than the system level.

Not that this couldn't be done before, just that its now becoming mainstream, which is nasty.

So basically, what it is going to take to make it *better*, but not perfect, is to implement some fun stuff at the level of your ROUTER;

1) Block port 443 to all known DNS-over-HTTPS public servers; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_recursive_name_server

2) Filter and redirect all requests to public servers on port 53 to DNS server of your choice.

Definitely not perfect, because nothing will stop an application from going to an unknown DNS-over-HTTPS server on the public internet.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] MaddKorben:
Hi!

I have a problem that drives me mad: I have a m3u8 playlist with IPTV channels. I can watch TV on all of my mobile and home devices with this playlist - TV, PC, Mac, iPhone. But! If I play this playlist on my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra - video quality automatically switches (I don't know if I can call it 'adapt') to low bitrate: 5000 kbps with Wi-Fi and 500 kbps instead after turning Wi-Fi off.

4G quality is very stable and fast but it switches bitrate to low all the time! It's more weird because if I share this LTE connection from another device and start playing playlist with Wi-Fi connected - it doesn't degrade bitrate!

For the record:

- playlist plays fine without degrade with the same SIM card on iPhone 11 Pro Max.

- playlist plays fine without degrade with the same SIM card on Samsung Note 10+.

- playlist plays fine without degrade with the same SIM card on Samsung S8.

- playlist plays fine without degrade with the same SIM card on Samsung S8+.

But:

- playlist plays WITH degraded bitrate on Samsung Tab S7.

What are those new settings or parameters for Android Samsung applied that makes IPTV to degrade bitrate?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] SrgWallopy:
A few things I can think of that may cause this.

What video player are you using? / Have you tried a different player?

Is video enhancer on in settings?

Does your carrier throttle video ect to 480? (Most do.) But won't always throttle Hotspot data.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] MaddKorben:
Hi! Thank you for your reply.

1. OttPlayer / VLC - result is the same

2. Yes but I don't think it may be a reason (on Galaxy Note 10+ and S8/S8+ it's enabled too)

3. I've called my carrier's technical support but they said that my tariff doesn't throttle anything. Besides I've forgot to mention that problem persists on two different carriers (I've tried two different SIM cards).

So the problem is in Note 20 Ultra/ Tab S7 for sure. But what is the reason for trouble I can't get.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] SrgWallopy:
Yes that is quite puzzling. I know that with most streaming apps. Like netflix, Youtube, disney+ the device chooses what quality of stream ti choose from while the host / server is usually streaming or atleast rendering multiple streams for it at different bitrates. (Basically this is agreeing that the device is just choosing a lower bitrate thinking there may be a network issue with the stream or speed issue.)

I haven't used VLC in a long while, but is there a way to force highest quality like in youtube / netflix? Curious if you can force it if it will play and buffer throughout?

Also what software version is your phone running currently? Last 4 and security update.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] lennie:
That's an interesting problem that only shows up on Samsung's new devices.

I have many questions though, like, how did you set up your devices, as new or from backup?

Does this only happen with IPTV or it also happens with other streaming apps?

Running any special dns or vpns?

Is data saver on?

Have you tried reseting network settings yet?

Have you tried disabling com.qualcomm.embms?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] SrgWallopy:
I was going to suggest checking data saver also.

Maybe even turn off optimization on battery usage for the app in use (or all together for testing). I have heard the optimizer loves to cause throttling issues for streams speed and everything else in between.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] MaddKorben:
how did you set up your devices, as new or from backup?

As new.

Does this only happen with IPTV or it also happens with other streaming apps

Only with IPTV.

Running any special dns or vpns?

Nope. I'd like to remind that smartphones with the same SIM card and same settings but not Note 20 Ultra or Tab S7 show stream smoothly without degrading bitrate.

Have you tried reseting network settings yet?

Nope. What network settings do you mean?

Have you tried disabling com.qualcomm.embms

Nope. My devices built with Exynos onboard.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] lennie:
To reset network settings : it will revert all network changes to default

Settings»general management» reset» reset network settings

After reset network settings restart your phone see it improves.

Also do you mind posting a link to the IPTV Playlist so I can check it out on my devices too. You can post it here or Direct message
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] MaddKorben:
Hi!

I've sent you private message with one of channels that degrades bitrate. Check it please.

Resetting network settings didn't make difference.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] SrgWallopy:
I was thinking of removing the app from the optimize list so it can use full resources and not get throttled by the system.

Since the note 20 series has 'smart ai usage and optimization' it may be auto throttling for battery usage.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] lennie:
I've tried a number of different m3u8 streams (direct links) and find that VLC buffers A LOT with bit rate jumping all over the place 161 to 6200. A couple other players from the play store seems to play the stream just fine, not sure what's up with VLC.

I can't even remember all the ones I've tried but I've found that IPTV works great. I'll upload screenshots below.

I've tried the playlist you've PM'd me and it works just fine in IPTV. I find IPTV to be more comfortable to use and seems to do 60fps video stream I'm not too sure but it does seem like it. It shows the full playlist and is fast to load them (well most of them). It does buffer on some of the streams like sk* au streams and f*x streams but not so bad as when using VLC.

Just FYI I have a snapdragon device so we're sort of fundamentally using different devices so not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Yeah iptv extreme does work. Quality is good too but just like in IPTV app some streams do buffer.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] MaddKorben:
I've tried IPTV Extreme and it does the same as other players so we can assume that the reason is not Stream or Player - it's device.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] MaddKorben:
OMG guys... I'm really confused how this could happen but I've found solution: it was about Samsung MAX app which provides free VPN! The point is: it has several tabs including Wi-Fi and Mobile connection settings. And default mobile option "Data saving mode" was turned on! That's why it was degrading bitrate! Unfortunately it didn't show any badges or window telling me that now I have data saving mode on or something.

So I'm really sorry and thank you for trying to help. It was my fault.

Hi,

I've been looking but can't find anything clear, all the Snapdragon information is very mixed :confused:

Today, what is the best method to root S10e G9700 version?

Is there a step-by-step guide from standard phone (as you buy it)?

(I have a 9700 HK model, CSC TGY with the last October rom)
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] joselindion:
Finally, the past week a get root in my phone:

I put here in one post the info that I have collected: (Thanks to the people that share it)

For G9700 root is the same as Exynos:

- Unlock bootloader

- Download the full firmware ( your current firmware) extract it and you copy ap file to your sd card then you patch the ap as tar in magisk

- Copy back the file to your computer

- Flash it in Odin in the AP slot.

- Reboot and wipe data

- Boot up back to system install magisk app and follow the steps done

- You are now rooted.

These video and link helps a lot:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3a8YnWT3yk

https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/install.html#samsung-system-as-root
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] joselindion:
Now I have a new doubt:

There is a 24 Oct new patch.

Now, which is the correct way to update the phone whitout loose root or make a full wipe again?

Is there a working procedure for installing the new patch?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] s3korn:
Two questions.

Which Magisk version was used?

Reboot and wipe data means disable auto reboot (system) in Odin and boot the phone directly in recovery mode to wipe data?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] joselindion:
Hi,

- I have used the last Magisk when I did it (8.0.2)

- Yes, I did like you say, In the video appears

But I think that I made something wrong.

Everything worked perfectly but today I have rebooted the phone and it seems that I have loose root...

Root this phone is like a pain in the ass, the worst I have rooted
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] s3korn:
You have to restart with special button combo. you can google it or you use a modified kernel but I think kernel for G9700 isn't available and you loose some functions.

The G9700 is the first phone which I don't need to root, it's closely perfect.

why you want to root it?
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] joselindion:
Yes, I found different methods and none of them worked for me. :crying:

Today I had more time and I fixed it quickly: :)

As it seems, if you reboot your phone you will booting system without magisk. For booting system with magisk you need to do the last steps of the video and it worked.

- Turn off

- Turn on with (VOL+,BIXBY and POWER)

- When screen turns on you release everything and press only VOL+

- Entry in recovery mode "Reboot system now" and when the screens turns off we push (VOL+,BIXBY and POWER)

It works perfect again. From now always power OFF and Power ON, never reboot.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] joselindion:
First off all to use AdAway and get a full free ads phone

Map the Bixby button to another functions

Several Nova launcher functions

...

It is true that today it makes less sense than years ago, but it still allows you to have the phone more to your preferences.

Try too to make the cpu schedule less aggressive and see your s10e flaws in battery life , I'm waiting my warranty to over for make root to control the kernel and finally bring adaway .
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] s3korn:
I fully understand cause it's also important for me.

I'm using Blokade VPN now so need to root anymore.

OneUI is greate compare to old TouchWiz so imho no custom ROM needed. My experience is that stock rom has always better battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] joselindion:
Update info: After a lot of weeks using it all works perfect.

Just have to be careful not to reboot the phone, always power off and power on separately

I rooted my phone the other day and got in trouble with boot loop but managed to get back and now I'm unrooted. And bootloader re locked. I didn't really need root I just did it because I was bored, (lockdown)🤦 but now I can't use Samsung pay or Samsung pass. Is there away I can get through this, I'm using UK Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] Morphine1:
Hello, I've always been rooted for like a decade, however I'm not rooting my G9700 (TGY)

- remap bixby button: possible with adb command and BxActions app (full remap)

- uninstall bixby and other apps (adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 "APP.PACKAGE.NAME")

- removing ads is fine with a custom dns (dns.adguard.org) available natively in android

- boosting sound is possible with Goodev app (googleplay)

- theming is possible and absolutely lovely using #HeX+ , it is even better than substratum. Themed apps as well, qs tiles mods, gradient colors, bunch of themes. Personally using stock android looks with a black background and different vivid colors as accents.

- non root youtube vanced available since ages ago.

- other non root mods available such as Good Lock modules, personally using three of them: Task Changer, QuickStar, Sound Assistant

- custom fonts now available also in android 10-11 with #mono_ app

- other cool stuff like Alliance X app that helps you disabling system apps, or disable package

SO what you wanna root for??

I love android but rooting this phone is a total waste. I'm happy using Samsung Pay and other things. Personally I haven't lasted more than a few months with the same phone and this one is lasting for 2-3 years at least.

I miss some rooting stuff like custom kernels etc, might get a oneplus again next time for that matter but I'm absolutely loving one ui experience and all the aforementioned mods, they're all awesome, you can get a cool setup.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] fred_loves_ginger:

Yes well I wish I hadn't bothered trying to root it now the boot loop was enough to give me a stroke 🤦Why do I want to remap the Bixby button?

Thank you for replying to my dumbass questions and I know I am a being dumbass here 🤦but could I just ask you to reiterate that if I flash original firmware I can use the Samsung apps(🤮) that I could use before I rooted and unlocked the bootloader now that I have UNrooted and RElocked the bootloader? I read somewhere that I can't use certain services because 'Knox' has been triggered and it will never go back. I only want the Samsung apps because certain Google apps won't work on my Samsung watch that I got cheap from CeX 🤦🤦🤦

Apparently once knox is triggered, you can't go back but you can use samsung pay as long as you have a non rooted firmware.

I'm new to samsung so I can't help much on this but try installing the official firmware, your apps like samsung pay should go back working normally.

[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] fred_loves_ginger:
No, I haven't fixed it and I have to say I kind of gave up after reading the thread that you posted for me to have a look at. It seemed to turn into a bit of an argument about whether Knox could be fixed or not, and whether or not the Efuse is actually a physical thing 🤦. I don't want to mess up my phone anymore than I already have, I'm so annoyed at myself, I'm such a ****🤷
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] jq555888:
Agreed! Just a quick question tho.

A lot of what's being mentioned here are software sided but I'm more interested into modifying hardware behaviors.

Wondering if there's any solutions to stop battery charging at a given percentage? Would be useful to use with Dex considering the phone is plugged in 24/7, might as well leave it half charged. In addition, is there any way to further limit CPU? Stock Samsung firmware gives an option to switch to a percentage based power saving mode but even at the least performant option it's still giving me more than enough speed. Would love for it to be more aggressive. I know having it underpowered could lead to damage to hardware but from what I am seeing now it's still well within the spec sheet for this particular chip inside SM-G9700. Also, rooting allows the USB C port on device to output more than 1080p via alt DP mode, which is completely possible under the hardware but Samsung limited it due to competition with the Dex station (which ironically isn't on the market anymore).

The problem is that I don't think a lot of people actually root their devices these days for the reasons you've stated as it is well known a ton of workarounds exist esp. with adb. I'd be glad to hear any solutions to these hardware problems where OEM isn't likely going to give you an option.
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] jq555888:
There's a reason rooting is advised only for experienced people. Don't panic tho. You aren't going to brick your phone unless you've seriously messed up the first stage loader which is well protected and highly unlikely on the latest Samsung machines. Take fixing this as a learning experience and you'll be alright :)
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] s3korn:
I can confirm that root still works for G9700 using Magisk v22 on Android 11

PDA G9700ZHU4EUBB

CSC G9700TGY4EUBB
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] s3korn:
Updated from 4EUBB (OneUi 3.0) to 5FUCA (OneUI 3.1) successfully!

Patched 5FUCA AP file using Magisk App v22 and finally flashed patched AP + BL + CP + HOME_CSC with Odin.

It was tricky to enter recovery mode this time and reboot with root (Magisk)... At the end with connected USB-C cable in recovery mode, I chose power off instead of reboot system...

When OS is running with root (Magisk) simply power off and power on to restart is still working.

Never use restart system out of running OS, always power off!
[Samsung Galaxy S10e Questions & Answers] claudito77:
Hi to all, I'm new in this thread. I have to buy a new phone and I'm considering to buy this s10e, though it's been about 2 years since it has come in the market, because I want a compact phone and this one seems to be the best. I've always had rooted phones, but reading this thread, I figured out that for this one it could be a trouble. So my questions are:

- are there many bloatware app (like FB, GMAIL, ecc) that can not be uninstalled without root?

- without root, can the battery last the whole day with a "normal" use? I mean, no video playing, or maybe 10 min playing per day?

thanks

Dont worry, it's a good phone and lasts the whole day, and the bloatwares wont be problems.

I was able to patch magisk and Flash it. I have Android 11 the August 2021 update. I have TWRP installed. I can get to TWRP recovery. I tried the Volume+, Bixby, and power up upon reboot from TWRP and I still go right back to TWRP. The only time I had root access was when I flashed lineage 18.1. I have tried over 100 times to get magisk in root with the flashed magisk firmware. I can only get to TWRP or even stock recovery when I do not have TWRP with a cable plugged into the USB port.

I have read several places that Magisk is the way to get root. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?

I am also unable to revert back to any firmware prior to the August update if I'm using stock or patched firmware. I probably could flash a lineage 17. But, lineage will not allow me to make phone calls. So, I was back to trying to get rooted stock firmware. I just can't achieve root no matter what I do with stock.
