I'm having the same problem with my s20u snapdragon. No luck yet, I guess I'll have to factory reset the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] yrp888:
I worked out my bad battery life was due to earlier updates (Sept, Oct) causing 5GHz Wi-Fi issues and random drops. Even with the phone 1.5m from my Ruckus WAP it'd eat battery sitting there doing nothing at a crazy rate. Switching to 2.4GHz has almost completely fixed the battery drain problem for me. Almost, as in fairly close to how the phone was with the July update.

I had a lot of confidence in Samsung's updates after buying the phone in April, each update seemed to improve the phone and the battery life was great. We've owned many Galaxy phones since S3 but always rooted them with some flavour of AOSP ROMs, and this is the first Samsung phone I have not rooted so I was relying on Samsung to regularly update the ROM with improvements. Dumb ...

So I agree with @blackhawk ... no way am I updating to Android 11/One UI 3 for at least 6 months, maybe never. I've downloaded the July firmware in case I get so frustrated I wipe and reload the phone. I'm not a gamer and I don't spend massive amounts of time on the internet so "security updates" might not be that important. I'm an old IT guy and very suspicious/vigilant about what I click on.

If only there was a way to stop the System Update regularly pestering me to install what seems to be a worse update than all the others, judging by the range of comments posted so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] yrp888:
I hope you mean you're 500mm from the WAP ... half a km is pretty ambitious for Wi-Fi reception! :D
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] blackhawk:
I use a package blocker to keep AT&T updates from running.

You can also request that they (at least AT&T) don't push you the updates. I did that way for a couple of years.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] yrp888:
Tks, I'll check out any package blockers. Telstra in Australia is unlikely to be able to stop sending updates, but I'll enquire.

Do they work for App Updates too?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] blackhawk:
This one does, been using it for about 3 years.

Isn't there an option in Developers to turn off auto updates?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] yrp888:
Damn it ... you're right, kind of. The option is to stop it auto-updating on phone restart, which I have disabled to avoid this.

Thanks for the post as I would have restarted the phone at some point and been really annoyed with A11 being auto installed.

Sometimes manually entering the updater apk name in the blocker will work even though there's no registered check box for it.

If the blocker can't block carrier updates it's worthless to me...

I am having the same 5G wifi and battery drain problems with my S20Ultra and my wife's S20+ after updating to OneUI 3.0 (firmware CTL4). They are Snapdragon devices with Hong Kong Rom
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] yrp888:
Have you tried connecting only to 2.4GHz Wi-Fi and comparing battery drain?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Mlaihk:
Thats what I am doing right now as 5GHz wifi 8s basically useless. With 2.4GHz wifi(20MHz channel width 2x2) I am getting around 100mbps throughput which is still slow but connection is stable relative to 5GHz. Battery life on 2.4G is comparable to the device on 5GHz wifi with pre-OneUI3.0 roms.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] yrp888:
My battery life on 5GHz has been awful, that's what I reverted back to 2.4GHz after I tracked down the problem to the 5GHz instability.

How does anyone report this sort of stuff to Samsung? Talking to a local service centre is pointless.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] nickporwal:
What worked for me was that i disabled data toggle while using wifi. It reduced the number of wifi drops significantly. When you have both data and wifi enabled, it tries to switch between the better one.

I do mean 5Ghz wifi. sorry for the mistype
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] DarkQuark:
I am having the same wifi disconnection issues ever since Android 11 on my S20. Although in my case I am not sure it is not a false positive. What I mean but that it is, I see a message on the screen frequently "Wifi Disconnected" but the animated Wifi icon never reflects that nor does the phone ever act like its disconnected.

And I have done all the things recommended to clear the issue and none of them made a difference for me.

I keep waiting for Samsung to release a fix, but nothing so far obviously.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Mlaihk:
I crawl through the net searching for Android 11 with wifi problems and apparently it is pretty wide spread. I also tried one of the recommendation of disabling RDNSS from the router and my 5GHz wifi connectivity is now stable for over 45mins. I have no idea why this affects 5GHz wifi but not 2.4GHz wifi

So for those who are using IPv6 on their networks, try disabling RDNSS from the IPv6 router advert message and see if connection stability improves.

Throughput of the wifi is still only roughly half of what my S20Ultra and S20+ were on Android 10.......
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Mlaihk:
Spoke too soon. Although disabling RDNSS does help 5GHz wifi connectivity stability on certain bands, it does not resolve issues completely when roaming across different APs, and poor 5GHz wifi reception in my case. I found that for Instance, the S20U roaming to an AP on channel 149 (80MHz) will result in very poor throughput (around 20Mbps on wifi6) despite signal at full strength and I am next to the AP.

On AP on channel 48 (80MHz) and channel 100(80MHz) connections are more stable with the RDNSS disabled from the router.

This seems to suggest that the 5GHz wifi issues are both an Android 11 issue and a Samsung driver issue on the December update (CTL4) in my case.

Also, DNS query from the phone seems a bit wonky especially if Private DNS is set to Automatic......

Overnight, the internet hang problem is back. So back to square one. Geez, I M seriously considering jumping camp to IOS.....
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Mlaihk:
Had an firmware update today (ZHU2CUA4). 5GHz wifi connection seems better in that my S20 Ultra seems to stay connected to my 5GHz AX network for much longer. However, when roaming between APs, connection speed upon reconnection drops to below 20mbps from 800mpbs. A manual disconnect and reconnect will resolve the issue most of the time but sometime it will still take a reboot.

General speed of wifi connection is sti subpar, getting mostly half of the download speed as my other devices on the network (surface pro7, iPhone 12 etc). But upload speeds are fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] stereo007:
Hello everybody,

I've been reading and trying things out for a few days. I am looking for a Rom that works well in everyday use and has the latest security patches. I've tried LineageOS 16/17. With both the problem is that the caller hears his voice twice, so it has an echo. I didn't have that with the stock. Otherwise I think the 17 version is pretty good. Is there a Rom that doesn't have the echo, or does everyone really have it? I talk on the phone a lot.^^

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Mohamedkam000:
Looking for AOSP-based ROMs only?

As there's a Stock-based One UI 2.5 with November security patch, if that would catch your eyes.

I have 4 Galaxy Exynos phones (G930W8) and ran 16 (Android 9) on all of them with no problems. But when I started to try 17 (Andoid 10), 3 would boot but one did not and still will not boot any 17.1 ROM. Out of curiosity I tried Ivan's 18 on that one phone and it boots fine. All of the 18 ROMs (Android 11) seem to boot with no problems. I have no idea why and did try every 10 ROM that I could find. Maybe a slight hardware variation?

I did update to the latest stock version and even ran the PIT file to reset partitions with no improvement.

My phone was updated to the latest stock version of Samsung's software. I tried the above advice and you are exactly right! Lineage 18 boots with no issues at all as does Lineage 16 - it seems to be certain phones that are not compatible with Android 10 as I am using exactly the same procedure in TWRP when installing the new ROM.

Hi Guys,

Pardon my ignorance. I have used Tom Tom 6 on my old PDA with a Blue Tooth GPS. I see on this forum that the Experia X1 uses Google Maps with the in built GPS hardware.

I know that I can buy an updated version of Tom Tom and run it, but I am interested in how the Experia or the Touch Pro uses Google Maps with the GPS.

Can, say the whole of Australia be downloaded from Google Maps and loaded onto the micro SD card. Then Fire up the GPS and link it to the Google Maps on the micro SD card? If so, how "fast" would it keep up with your moving car?

Or do you have to stay continuously connected to the WEB (ouch! V. expensive in Oz)?

Thank you in advance.

Hi,

This is my first time posting here.

Phone: Samsung Note 20 ultra, bought prerelease on Samsung site.

Issue: As headline states, one of the updates made a few months after release scrapped the private mode in favor of the secure folder from Knox. The problem is that the content in private mode is now nowhere to be found (?) there was no prompt saying please remove items from private folder for this update etc.

Does anybody know how to get the files back from private mode? Or can somebody point me in the right direction (forum post)?

I will from now on keep important stuff off the phone as updates seem to disregard important aspects.

I did contact Samsung support, they had never heard of Private mode, so I hung up.

Regards

Simon
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Jake.S:
First of all it's called Secure Folder and not private mode. So that's probably why samsung had no idea what's private mode.

Secondly secure folder isn't gone, the shortcut maybe disappeared but you can bring it back my searching for it in settings.

Or by going to settings --> biometric and safety and there you should have option named Secure Folder and when you tap on it. Then secure folder should open up and once you are in go to settings there for secure folder and pick create shortcut.

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I have checked and there is no longer a "private mode" to be found anywhere on the phone. If I can not find any solution I guess I will have to flash the back to its original firmware and hopefully get it back there.

Do you maybe know how to revert the phone back to its original firmware? I am unsure if a standard reset will do the job.

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] JAYmasta:

[Touch Cruise ROM Development] pananza:
I'm not entirely sure, but I think a XIP is the OS part of a ROM. This file is needed when a ROM cook creates a ROM.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] SHAYDER:
XIP is kernel of OS.

You can see a version of XIP: Start->Settings->System->About

OS CE 5.2.20296 is current XIP.

To build ROM with new XIP you must: put "MSPPCXIPKernel" and "MSXIPKernel" folders to "SYS" folder. Then build you new ROM with new XIP. :)

For Example you can use Polaris Kitchen v1.3 - WM6.1 (Build 19214.1.0.4)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=379559

for build ROM.
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] epimazzo:
Is it worked for ya?:o

Some kitchens or even ROM packages already comes with most files found in msxipkernel...you should cut off one side or another. I generally keep bottu.rgu alone in XIP and move msxipkernel to sys folder...then cook...

still playing with 20275.

Where 20296 is from?

Thanks for sharing!:D
[Touch Cruise ROM Development] SHAYDER:
If You use "Polaris Kitchen v1.3 - WM6.1 (Build 19214.1.0.4)"

You have 3 main folders: "SYS" "OEM" "ROM"

In "ROM":

You have "XIP" folder and "os.nb.payload" (XIP in "os.nb.payload")

In "XIP" folder you have ONLY "boot.rgu" (it is not main XIP)

In "OEM" you nave drivers and applications.

In "SYS" you have OS.

1)You must put "MSPPCXIPKernel" and "MSXIPKernel" folders to "SYS" folder.

2)Replace "os.nb.payload" in "ROM" folder. (because thet "os.nb.payload" with old XIP. You must put my "os.nb.payload" without XIP. And when you cook you ROM, new XIP copy from "MSPPCXIPKernel" and "MSXIPKernel" folders)

3)Put my "imgfs.bin" to main folder.

4)Run "BuildOS.exe"

5)Run "Build ROM.bat"
