[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Mr. Orange 645:
Don't know where you are, but around here (southwest Missouri), Sprint has always been very spotty. I've had T-Mo for the last five years and have used it all over Oklahoma and Missouri. Ive used in in the Dallas-Fort Worth area of Texas. Chicago, Illinois. Northern Arkansas. Parts of Kentucky. Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee. Birmingham, Alabama. Orlando, Melbourne, Tamba Bay, and Clearwater, Florida. And all the roads connecting those places. And I've had great luck with T-Mobile. There's dead spots for sure, but for awhile my work phone was ATT, my personal was T-Mobile, and my hotspot was Verizon. They usually all had the same service and dead spots in the same areas.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Shaettr:
Sprint *is* t-mobile now. If you're on sprint you're on t-mobile and the company is going to try to make them one-in-the-same moving forward. You're basically saying that you don't want a sprint/t-mobile SIM and want to stick with your sprint/t-mobile SIM. They own all the same towers now so service is the same. They likely mean just get a newer SIM with the newer 4G and 5G support, a SIM that can use *all* the tower types.... It doesn't matter if it's "t mobile" or "sprint". They are the same thing now. If you walk into a sprint store. It's a T-Mobile store. You are already on t-mobile's service, it's just with an outdated SIM that can only use older sprint towers. The new SIM also would support the newer iterations of "4G" and have better coverage. 4G or 5G doesn't matter so much as you're going to want a new sim regardless for maximum service coverage in either.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
No, we don't.

I've had T-Mobile for several years and I'm pleased with their coverage, customer service, and price.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] refox2:
I have sprint service and after the galaxy note 20 ultra software update, my signal had been spotty on 5g. I went to settings, then general management, then reset, then reset network setting. After I did that, my signal and internet speed has been great. Warning, you will lose all your saved wifi and Bluetooth pairings, but you can set all of them back up. It's worth it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Time to move on to another carrier , you have plenty of choices in america ??
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Deanro:
I read verizon was refarming their network for better coverage. But hey all carriers claim this bs anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] AprilAr:
I'm glad your 5G signal gives you more than 2mg download, in West Virginia it does not. Nor does it work in Virginia, Maryland or Washington DC but 4G is flawless.

Thanks for the responses everyone. Tmobile doesn't work well in West Virginia and Sprint has always been the go to.

I feel as if I was misled. I recorded the conversation where they said "Sprint towers remain online, we will only be inheriting Tmobile towers." but all Sprint towers went offline here hence no service and only being on roam 24/7.

That night, we dropped $2800 on branded phones. I'm about to just unlock it, root it, get rid of the bloatware and hope for the best.

As of right now, I received a $300 account credit as we do not have service here and they can see on the map where it's black. I hope they get it together and are able to fix the network by the time the credit runs out. Worst case scenario a manager in corporate did agree to cancel our contracts and return the phones even though we got them on launch day. I'll have to wait and see how things pan out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] fatboypup:
Totes sucks lol almost faster than my home internet. I have an unlocked running a sprint sim, I only seem to get tmo bands anymore very rarely do I pick up sprint bands even with a sprint airrave device nearby
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
I do see now when I look at the T-Mobile coverage map that there are huge black regions that I'm pretty sure weren't previously depicted. I haven't had difficulty yet myself, but I'm sorry you're without coverage.

Keeping a record of tech conversations is indeed good (online chat rather that voice works best). But even better is to never trust assurances by tech reps, because they're often not knowledgeable and may pass along rumors or made-up answers. If they tell you something important, ask politely how they know and where you can find confirmation. (That's actually a good practice when dealing with almost anyone about almost anything important.)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] cpufrost:
TMO = T hird world M obile O perations. ;)

Even more insult to injury for us USA users as we cannot get a proper dual SIM device that will work with two carriers. I have TMO and Verizon. I've been able to use two lines from these carriers since 2018 on my iPhone XS Max. Even though Samsung claims the S20 Ultra and Note 20 Ultra have esim capability they simply don't work in this fashion.
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] twoplustwo:
I'm looking for a phone that I can root because I need it for apps. Rooting most phones has a catch, loss of DRM, pictures quality affected, tripped fuse (Samsung). So what stops working when you root this phone? Are there work arounds to things that break? Can all versions of the Pixel 4 be rooted?
[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] Spookymyo:
It doesn't break anything. It does make using gpay and some other banking apps difficult at first. But there are ways around that by using magisk hide.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handynoobinator:
You have to trust the source where you get your os from. Its known that middlemen insert malware into smartphone firmwares before sale. But if you flash your rom yourself then you have to trust the downloadsource. I searched a lineage or /e/ os rom for galaxy s4 mini and found this site: "lineageosroms com /s4-i9192/" ( I cant post links because i am new here) I doupt that this belongs to LineageOS, because on the LineageOS site there is no download for this device. My question is, what sources are trustworthy, which not? What about the unofficial roms on XDA Forums? What can i do or should not do with a not so trustworthy rom? Insert Sim Card? Chat about personal life, take personal pictures, banking, buying stuff etc. .. And what about old firmwares which do not receive any updates anymore, are there some rules to follow which make the device save although the rom is old?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raiz:
The only official site for LOS is this one: https://download.lineageos.org/

You can find over the internet some unofficial websites, with unofficial LineageOs Builds. Idk about them being 100% safe, but Lineageos has its own privacy features, that may prevent (not at 100% obviously) virus to be silent. On XDA, and especially for popular devices (like yours), unofficial build can be trusted. Because a lot of people download them, and if there is something suspicious with the build, it will be soon called out, and the developer banned. So I'd say unofficial build in XDA can be trusted, outside of xda it's more hazardous, and the official build can be trusted eyes closed. If you don't even trust devs donc XDA, you can always make one build from your device tree in GitHub. It's free, and just requires a 64-bit Device (PC).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handynoobinator:
Thank you very much for your advice. I have a similar question. I dont like the Playstore, because i dont want to have to login in order to install an app. I use playstore download tools like "apkcombo com apk-downloader" or "apps. evozi com apk-downloader" to create download links. Or Mirrors like APKPure or appsapk.com. I know its easy to bind malware to a program, and it can be cryptet so a virus scanner is not able to detect it. Is there a way to verify these apks? The most easy way i could think of would be a list with the program versions with the correlating md5sum, then i can create the md5sum and see if its the same. Further Question: why are mostly the big phones with the big screens supported by linage os? Because the small phones arent used to surf the internet very much and an old firmware doesnt matter in this case? I like the small phones better.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oswald Boelcke:
Instead of Play Store download tools consider to use the Aurora Store (an unofficial OSS Play Store client) by [MENTION=5678465]WhyOrean[/MENTION] as I and many other privacy concerned XDA members do.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raiz:
Can confirm, Aurora store is a good value.

And LineageOs (and other ROMs) support popular devices, which are now bigger screen phone. I got to say tho, I think that the mini form factor of the iPhone 12 Mini revived a nostalgic feeling for actual small phones. So I guess that in 2021 some flagships will adopt this form factor and you'll have a community, and ROMs to interact with.

And IMO, small phones have always been the more "mature taste" lol. No seriously, I miss them, and I don't wanna get myself locked in iOS (although it's a pretty good OS)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] handynoobinator:
Thank you very much for this tipp! I will try Aurora store in the near future. Further Question, why is only android on XDA and not ios? I suppose Apple keeps everything closed and there is no community other than the jailbreak stuff. I have an old iphone 5c, i bought it for cheap to see what apple devices are like. I cant recommend apple, because you have to give all your data in order to install free apps, and even contact the support, this is ludicrous! You cant store files on the device, you have to use itunes to get music on the device, its really not pleasant, the only thing you can do is to download your pictures on windows or linux. I am new to smartphones and i dont know very much about them yet, is there a way to bring this iphone to use? Store files like pdfs on it and install apps without the apple appstore? Only a safe way, without the risc of viruses or malware.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raiz:
Once there was a xda-developers' sister site called "iphone-developers.com" which is dead as of now.

But the "good" new is that XDA has its first iPhone forum recently. It's the iPhone 12 Forums.

If you're still new around xda, you may check a thread I made to introduce users (originally iPhone users) to xda (https://xdaforums.com/apple-iphone-12/how-to/welcome-hello-iphone-users-quick-t4180667)

It's also very important to read the rules, make sure you do that (link is in my signature).

Also, I don't know much about it but you can jailbreak iPhones and install .ipa files on them. Idk if it's safe and virus free tho. Jailbreak uses an exploit, whereas here on android google let users do this freely, with proper tools (I'm talking about root of course).

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Tiny792:
I rashly attempted to root my Fire HDX 7 on 4.5.5.3 using kingroot. It failed a handful of times before the tablet shut off and has since been stuck in a boot loop alternating between the grey logo and the animated gold logo before the screen goes black and restarts at the grey logo. Not sure if there's anything I can do at this point or if it's permanently bricked. This happened before with my old Fire HDX 7 under different circumstances (it just happened randomly I wasn't trying to root it) and that somehow worked itself out, so if nothing else I guess I can hope for that to happen again.

Hi all my First Post as new member, (I think I was a member a long time ago, but no email search works)

I have 3 Android devices, my trusty old Galaxy S5, TCL 4K UHD TV and now new TAB7+5G.

Anyway I am trying to change my Lockscreen Image from original but can't seem to find a way and I did search before this thread, I have changed Homescreen Image OK, but not Lockscreen.

Appreciate any help,

Thanks :)

Ash
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] smartymcfly:
There is a service that will change the lockscreen image daily. Go to settings - wallpaper - wallpaper service - enable.

It would have been nice for samsung to enable the service to work for home screen wallpaper too.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] gottahavit:
Go to wallpapers and when you pick on it asks you which to use for.... home or lock screen.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] MyAndroids:
Hi thanks for that But the Lockscreen Settings are either None (what came with Tab) or Dynamic which gives you options of about 4 category titles and then others within each title, BUT you must have WiFi on and they must update every 2 weeks to change LS cycle.

I don't want this at all I just want to set my own Lockscreen to my image as I can do with the Homescreen (use my image).
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] gottahavit:
Guess we have different tabs.

Edit: Not sure why can't upload a screen shot.

When I go to "Wallpaper" in settings I see my current home an loclscreen images at the top, below that I ..

My Wallpapers

Gallery

Wallpaper Services

Apply Dark Mode

If I pick either My Walpapers, or Gallery and then pick an image I get a meny that asks me where I want to apply it.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] MyAndroids:
Well finally got it,

Because I First added a particular single Jpeg Image from my Mega Cloud it saved in Gallery to a folder called Pictures first when I bought Tab new.

I also use a Recovery App for images off Twitter, etc....some I save and "restore image' from same app.

The image goes in Gallery in 'Restored 'folder.

Even though Gallery has 4 options in bottom of screen the Picture option Only has my Restored Images and not THE Picture I want as Home and Lockscreen.

As I said Yes I can use My jpeg as Homescreen Only as it gave me no other options, BUT when I copied this same Jpeg over to Restored Folder and opened up image there were the options to add to Hone and Lockscreen...so it worked.

Anyway all good, just the usual learning BS with Sammy and their control with OEM.

I am going from Android 6 to 10 in one hit, still learning.

Thanks.

I wanted to turn on my panels but the option is not there to turn them on! There is supposed to be an option in DISPLAY, then you hit EDGE SCREEN and in there you should see an option called Activate Panels or Turn on panels. I don't have that at all. I just have an option called Edge Lighting, which is turned on. I remember on my S10 I had a few Edge panels setup for ease of use but something is a little odd here.

I even took a screen shot. It's missing!

Well I don't know what are you doing with your phone but mine is like new! Also I don't get why a lot of people complain about the pre installed screen protector, it's great and best of all it's free!

Mine is still like it isn't there. The only downside is fingerprint sensor.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] tdodd:
I've had my phone for just over a month and the original protector is perfect. I've had the phone in and out of cases several times and there is no peeling and no marks. It feels smooth, like glass, and is clear and clean. Like I said, perfect. ?

I actually bought screen protectors with the phone, unaware that one would be fitted already, and I've had no reason to switch. FWIW I'm also using the included clear case, even though I bought a few others. Goog job, Samsung.

Is there a place one can order the factory screen protector for N20U?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
I'm not sure buddy, I installed one of those non glass ones yesterday after I received my U1. It's the type that is installed in two parts and no heat or water is needed. I believe LK and Qitoyo are the same, bought the latter it's ok. Good overage and smooth. 10$ three pack.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
Thanks. I got the Ringke dual easy which applies really well. Just that the quality of the sticker is inferior to the factory installed one I had on my Note 10
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
I was about to buy that one. But it mentioned it has some wings technology that wraps around the sides. That bit put me off a little. What's it like in practice?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VICosPhi:
It is great actually. The wings that wrap around go just a tiny bit towards the back glass and do not affect the look of the black glass. The wings also help secure the protector from lifting off the edges

I also put a skin on the back to get rid of the fingerprints you get on the black N20U .
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VirtualWaver:
I was looking for a topic like this haha. My one actually developed a few bubbles and I had to peel it off a couple of days ago. I received my unit in early September.

I am now struggling to find a good protector that works well with a case. Tried Ringkie but the protector was a way smaller than my phone!! Looks like it was a faulty batch. Tried another one - Apiker, and it peeled off when I putted my phone to my Spigen case despite Apiker advertising it won't.

I am now stranded in the middle of nowhere. Don't know what to buy to have a bubble-free screen and compatible with my Spigen case. Ordered the Spigen screen protector but it has mixed reviews...

I now regret I removed the original one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Just get the one of the ones mentioned earlier to tied you over . They're a dry applied 3 or 4 stage peel type. I think most are made by the same factory. Leaves about 2mm on edges almost like the factory applied gap.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] VirtualWaver:
I couldn't find a single dry protector that would be bubble free and compatible with a case. No matter how hard I try to follow the instructions the protector either has bubbles/spots or peels off when phone is in a case. It just doesn't stick firmly. I will try my luck with Spigen wet protector. It should be compatible with Spigen cases as advertised. Already spent around 40 pounds on different protectors with no luck. I wish Samsung could offer the service for a fee. Their factory screen protector was attached perfectly.
