[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] tdodd:
Do you need the S-pen? If not, or even if you do, can you wait to see what the S21 brings, possibly in only a few weeks?

Price and performance aside, are you bothered about warranty and/or local support?

Here are some thoughts based on my experience with the Hong Kong N9860....

5G does not work for me on EE, but it does on Three and probably Vodafone. Nobody seems to be able to comment on 5G on O2. I'm not that bothered about 5G in all honesty. Technology and bands are still in flux and the future will probably not be met by current models. Rollout is thin on the ground and I've seen speeds locally of 200Mbps using 4G+, which is ample. I have to go out of my way to find a 5G signal, so lack of support is moot for me.

Nonetheless, I have tried contacting both EE support and Samsung support about the absent 5G and nobody wants to know. As an imported device they really couldn't care.

Firmware updates are slow. I am still on November security updates, despite a new firmware released in December. UK models have the December update already and, I believe, were included in the beta program, unlike my phone. I don't think the HK N20U is receiving the attention customers would like and there is nowhere to turn for resolution. If the phone actually goes wrong it's a return to HK. How long and how much cost involved? Who knows?

Basically, the phone meets my needs, has the superior processor and I saved a bundle on price, but support in the UK for this model kinda sucks. That's the gamble. Would I import again? Not sure. I think I'd rather wait until the UK versions (of whichever phone) are shipped with a non-inferior processor. With hindsight maybe I would have been happier with the S20FE5G - except the cameras. Arrrrrggggghhhhh!!! :-)

I have no idea how function and support would be for the Korean version. Maybe it would just work and no support required, but....... ?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] tdodd:
p.s. Supposedly firmware optimisations have improved the Exynos Note. No idea if true, but if you're happy to tinker you can always debloat and hopefully save some juice that way.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] arsenal74:
I did the same thing with the S20 plus, 5G did not work (not a huge issue right now) and updates were slow.

Other than performance I was also hoping for a decent functioning gcam but had no luck with that, plenty of apks but never found a config and ultimately the stock camera was better.

I would not import again. Currently have the exynos N20U
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] silmarils:
Snapdragon battery rocks. Have never charged mine more than 80% and end a heavy use day with around 20% left. Everything works but Samsung Pay and 5G on EE. Samsung S20FE is a great deal though, everything but the S- pen, why change?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Accessories] XtraWater:
I'm in Switzerland and wanted to order the Spigen case for the Poco X3 NFC. Any suggestions where or how to buy it? The few sellers on Amazon are using Amazon shippment which deliverus only to EU countries. Switzerland isn't a member of the EU. Couldn't find the case on Ebay at all.

There is Spigen EU. They diverted me to Amazon.

Spigen US where I ordered my last case for the Mi A1 don't have this particular case in their shop.

Then there is Spigen Australia and Philippines. They don't send it to my country.

So, it seems to be a impossible mission.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Accessories] Yepi69:

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Accessories] Yepi69:
Is there a retailer there who sells Spigen cases?
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Accessories] XtraWater:
Not in my country. And couldn't find retailers in Europe as well. I found a dealer in Indonesia. But he wanted $80 for shipping.

Amazing that Spigen itself isn't able to help me.

better buy Ringke especially the blue version
[Off-topic] xero_xero:
Hello, I've got a question about what my next step should be... the thing's probably dead though.

last night my samsung galaxy note 4 just restarted while i was on skype. and got stuck at the initial boot up company logo screen and wouldn't move past this.

so far it will not boot into any other mode other than the download mode in order to flash either the recovery file or a while new firmware.

try as I might it will not load recovery mode so I was unable to clear cache or factory reset etc.

I've tried several recovery files and several different original rom files already over the last 16 hours watched countless videos and tried countless methods from countless threads. doesn't seem I can boot custom rom as I dont have twrp installed and putting back the original firmware still keeps me stuck on

the main first screen in a sort of boot loop. I suspect that something on this device has kicked the bucket.

when I try the key combinations for recovery i get a very nastily pixilated little android robot and updating software words which goes away and the phone restarts again back into the first samsung note 4 logo screen.... should I just toss this thing? I really wanted to retrieve my data but.. it honestly seems like I've no options here
[Off-topic] NTGDeveloper:
Two things.

One, make sure that you are obviously using the Odin tool to flash a .img.tar file (At least with TWRP) and you could also try an older version of Odin since that can sometimes help issues like not being able to flash firmware. Other than that, I really don't know what else to think.

Two, you shouldn't really post something like this in Off-Topic since it isn't really meant for that. In fact, the category description states that it's meant for anything BUT phones. So, I suggest bringing this to the Note4 Forums here: https://xdaforums.com/c/samsung-galaxy-note-4.3508/. You'll get more help there than here.

I doubt many people really look in here and I only stumbled upon this post because I was bored and was surfing the forums.
[Off-topic] xero_xero:
oh i see sorry about where i posted.. I did use two versions of odin I had 3.10 and 3.12 I don't kow if they included twrp or not.. thanks again ill try in the other thread... i doubt this thing has life in it thoguh thanks.

Hi, could any one tell me if the charging LED also works as a notification light? Cheers.
[Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite Questions & Answers] Spakainz:
Yes, notification led works when charging. When battery became full charged, then led turns off.
[Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite Questions & Answers] drmorten:
Hi thanks for that - I don't think I worded it right ;)

Does the led does function as a notification light? (as well as a charging light)

Cheers
[Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite Questions & Answers] _mysiak_:
Yes, LED works also for notifications, but it is almost invisible. One must check the phone at specific angle to see the led.
[Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite Questions & Answers] drmorten:
Thank you for that - that's what I needed to know - I've ordered it cheers
[Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite Questions & Answers] ahdai:
Yes it is almost invisible. And i noticed that the LED is only in white. I can't make whatsapp flash it in green or red.
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] cypher_key:
I went through the process of using Smali and Magisk on my phone. Everything was good. Since I was doing this for PoGo, I decided to "clean-up" by disabling some of the settings. I turned off OEM unlocking, reboot the phone in to the bootloader and did a adb flashing lock. I rebooted the phone and not get the error "Can't find a valid operating system". I can boot in to the bootloader with the power button + down volume but I can't unlock the bootloader with ADB and fastboot.

Am I screwed?
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] cypher_key:
I'm also not able to boot in to recovery. I also get the error "Can't find valid operation system"
[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] John M Michael:
Well probably too late to reply.

I'm not an expert, i'm newbee but when i installed my custom rom i met some problems to reboot. I solved them by re-installing firm operating system. You can do it by connecting your device with a good usb cable and go to google website : android flash tool

This will reinstall a new an clean system (but erase your data if not saved before).

After that you can install a custom rom from the begining.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SteveNYC:
I'm familiar with the difference between the class 4 (4MB/s transfer speed) and the class 6 (6MB/s transfer speed). But is there any value in using a class 6 card on the XV6800 (regardless of size)?

I ask because I have a 4GB class 6 A-Data microSDHC card in my XV6800 right now and there is no problem at all with it. However, I am considering purchasing an 8GB class 4 Sandisk microSDHC card. So it got me thinking, even thought the A-Data card is capable of a faster transfer speed, that doesn't mean the XV6800 is ever actually using that extra speed. So would I see any slowdown if I moved to a "slower" spec'd microsdhc card?

I looked around for transfer speeds on the XV6800's microSD card slot and didn't come across anything.

Anyway have any data on this? Thanks in advance.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] darksine:
Depends some on what you are using it for but I doubt you will notice much of a difference. When transferring using a card and a card reader from your computer you may notice a difference but otherwise the interface in the phone itself doesn't seem to be all that fast anyway.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SteveNYC:
Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the comment, but that's why I'm asking if anyone has any actual data. The device either reads and writes to the microsd card slot above 4MB/s or it does not. I have not found a way to benchmark it so I'm looking for some actual detail. But thank you.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] SteveNYC:
So I found an application that is supposed to measure the transfer speeds of the card slot on a Windows Mobile device. It's from Audacity Audio. The link on Softpedia is here.

I'm familiar with the application because I used the Palm OS version on my old Treo 700P. The problem is that he results always seem inconsistent and confusing.

In any event, I ran the test on two different microSD cards. The first is an empty 1GB Sandisk microSD card with. These cards don't have a "class" rating. The second is a 4GB AData Class 6 microSDHC card. I still had 2.5GB of the 4GB empty.

Honestly, the scores don't seem to make much sense. The read speeds all indicate north of 4MB/s and most of the time above 6MB/s. That's good. But the write speeds seem pointless. 330KB/s (.3MB/s) for the 1GB and 110KB/s (.1MB/s) for the 4GB ?!?!?! That doesn't seem right.

Anyway, any ideas would be welcome.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] jimnutt:
Write speeds are typically going to be a great deal slower for flash memory. And larger cards being even slower for writing makes a twisted sort of sense. All flash cards have "load-leveling" algorithms built into them to spread the writes across the flash disk in order to reuse locations as little as possible (flash memory cells have a limited lifetime). So the bigger the card, the more memory the load leveler has to manage. Of course, I could have it completely wrong....
[OPPO Find X2 Pro Questions & Answers] razorfx:
Hi all!

The face or people recognition/categorization in my standard Find X2 Pro Color OS Photos/Gallery App does not work. Normally it should scan all the photos when the smartphone is plugged in and the display is off. But after over 6 months of usage it still didn't scanned any photo. Does anybody have the same problem or knows how to activate it manually?

Thanks!

Does anyone know what ringtones and wallpaper are on this device?

Has the "Grande Valse" ringtone been updated?
[Nokia 8.3 5G (8V 5G UW) Questions & Answers] RampantBiologic:
Nokia Tune is essentially the same as the 2018 version played here:

Stock wallpapers are here: https://www.techmesto.com/download-nokia-8-3-stock-wallpapers/

I haven't had a Nokia since 2016 so I'm not familiar with any of the more recent models but ringtones and notifications are named after Greek "stuff" (Tethys, pyxis, titan, etc.) along with a dozen "Nokia" ringtones and "Nokia Message" notification sounds, alarm sounds are mostly elements (oxygen, helium, argon, etc.) with "Timer" and "Nokia Alarm_Clock" (which sounds vaguely familiar but has definitely been updated since my n75/e72/Lumia days).

It's still very easy to add ringtones and sounds, too.

:mad:We are all members of a great community of people, we come to these forums to discuss, build, upgrade and sometimes buy devices. In July I had a misfortune paying money to a member Leokorth who advertised his Uni for sale and got done for $150. At first he claimed he sent a parcel and even provided a tracking number. After a month of waiting I contacted him again, advising him the parcel had not been received and was told he still has it, he THOUGHT he sent it, but apparently not... You see, having a tracking number with USPS is not quite the same as actually sending a parcel, rather, according to USPS, it indicated an intent to send. I asked for my money back and he agreed to pay me back, but never did. I waited another few weeks, contacted him a few more times asking for my money, but he never replied. So I contacted PayPal. They investigated and decided in my favor, so today I was refunded.... 0.70!!! Yes, 70 cents out of my $150. The bastard cleaned out his PayPal account, so that I will not get any money back. :mad:

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] incredulous:
I don't know if trading laws are different here in the UK, but I had a similar problem and PayPal UK awared me the £252 (not refunded cos the guy emptied his account) and still charged his account £252. Basically it means he would have to make a new PayPal account. Just because the accounts empty, doesn't mean that you can get away with it :)

Like I said, it may be different here.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] enigma1nz:
The guy who stiffed me is in US, claiming to own a photo studio, sent me his website etc, so looked very legit. Paypal sent me this: "We have concluded our investigation into your case and have decided in your

favor.

We were able to recover $0.70 NZD and this amount has been credited to you.

Please allow five business days for this adjustment to be posted.

If you are due any additional funds, we will make our best effort to

recover the balance from the seller."

0.70c recovered out of $150 - bloody laughable.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] pathfinderti:
Scumbag Scammers

Yes there have been some scammers on this forum who have come and gone, nevertheless this does not help you to recover your lost funds, I might suggest that you contact PayPal again and forward all of your Email correspondence to confirm that this individual was leading you on right from the start, Paypal have no problems holding or freezing peoples accounts so based on that then a duty of care applies to Paypal to protect your dealings,it does not matter which country it was we have Paypal au now...

Sometimes these claims are a fully automated process and only refund what was in the account regardless, look it's worth a try, stay cool calm and collected and it all depends who you are conversing with on the phone at Paypal au.

Good luck:)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] enigma1nz:

So about a month ago i got my tmobile dash sim unlocked by tmobile (with unlocking code), so i could use my dash with my att sim card. before i flashed it i had full signal, when i flashed it with ricky wats version of kavana rom i tested the phone with my tmobile sim card and it barely got 1 bar of service or none at all. i put in my att sim card and i get no service whats so ever. anyone know what is wrong or if i did something wrong during the flash?

i followed the guide on flashing the phone, im almost sure i did it right. in doubt that i flashed it incorrectly i used the rom from tmobiles website and flashed it back to tmobile and the same problem with no service or 1 bar of service.

any suggestions?
[HTC Excalibur] jdoggraz:
That is weird, because I tend to have better service with the new 6.1

Any Suggestions

Maybe a bad SIM card. I had been running 6.1 for a few weeks and poof one day the signal bit the dust. I flashed back to the t-mobile rom same result....called TMobile and they set me up with a new SIM at their office. I went by and picked it up and that solved my problem.
