[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] taspankya:
just wanted to add, since this thread seemed to turn into a GPS conversation. a dedicated GPS screen can be much bigger than your Titan. thought i'd mention that in favor of deeznut's opinion on the subject.

but i do believe that dcd is leaps and bounds better in all aspects than stock. but like you said you cant argue with people's opinions its a moot point.

my favorite topics on this forum are the radio and primer/ other type of mod combination that they think is the fastest. "locked in 2.342 seconds indoors!!" :rolleyes:lol.. thats just funny to me. everyone has the same round about time to lock, those topics are ridiculous.. sorry for the rant - well not really i dont care :p
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dbrown2:
On the above note I agree 100%, I have no idea why (not smart enough), but I do find that the stock radio gets more bars in the same location (my work) then any of the other radios (have not tried the latest yet). But I want the gps and love the clean rom and really just love flashing and trying new things out. So I use DCD latest and really enjoy it.

To be honest I am very grateful to DCD and others that work so hard for really nothing to speak of to give me a phone that gives me what I want. Too bad VZW does not do the same thing. When the Touch Pro comes out I might switch to sprint again, but time will tell.

On the GPS NOTE:

I do think a GPS unit works better then the GPS in the 6800. I don't own one mind you, but a friend of mine does and it always locks faster (VZW users here) and has more sats listed. But to save me the money of buying one more toy (wife will kill me) and the number of times I really need one, the 6800 is great with garmin software.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] symyn:
This bar conversation reminds me of when the 3G iPhone came out, it had less bars then its predecessor, but in all reality it had the exact same signal strength. Apple released a patch to fix this, but by all accounts it was just for show and didn't really change anything with the firmware...
[Android Head-Units] Jelleyboy:
Good evening, I bought this stereo last year and it was working fine, stupidly I installed gmail to the stereo to check on work emails and it added a permenant lock to the stereo when powered on requiring a password. Is there a way to wipe the device and reinstall 8.1? There isn’t any options to erase data to factory that I can see from the infotainment menu and reset doesn’t do anything apart from reboot.

look forward to hearing from you.

kind regards,

luke

I have been using this for 4 days. Really appreciate this. Great one. But I have been facing a issue. Don't know if it's for the rom or not. I have flashed magisk through twrp. Flashing was successful. But magisk manager app shows nothing but home tab. You can see the sa. Even I tried to check root access. Root checker says no root access is there. Can anyone help?

[Xiaomi Redmi S2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Graphicssa:
It worked! Thank you 😌 enjoying the ROM very much
[Xiaomi Redmi S2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Graphicssa:
Happen to be enjoying very much. There aren't any noticable big to me. Battery backup is way too better. But charging seems to be taking too much time. I am using default charger of redmi s2. Still it takes 3.5 - 4 hours to charge fully! Is there any way to fix that?
[Xiaomi Redmi S2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] NtTestAlert:
First let me say I really like this ROM, it is smooth and pleasant :)

Bugs so far:

- Fingerprint is not working in most apps. Probably the classes work but the function to check for its presence is not working... (If I cant fix this with say a magisk mod etc this is a dealbreaker for me unfortunetly)

- When battery is very low the device sometimes starts bootlooping (reboots instantly after completing boot anim), happened 2 times so far no idea what causes it.
[Xiaomi Redmi S2 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other] Northn:
Tested with stock charger several times, it was charging for 1 hour and 50 minutes, sometimes for 2 hours

Did you flash any custom kernel? Maybe some apps using resources too much?

It was tested too, at banking apps and a Yandex Browser it was working fine, I think your apps doesn't support unlockings by fp

Never happened, nobody ever reported

Hi, hope you are well, thank you for your work, clean flash from stock rom , full wipes

as for now: fast rom.

Model M1803E6H

1.-in facebook or instagram status random checking, phone freezes completely, so have to reboot manually

2.-and it takes more than 5 hours to charge, never full just to 9x%, could be because of waiting time , tried original samsung fast 2amp charger, motorola and original xiaomi charger, different cables, same out come, as well usb

3.-nice to have pixel apps but some are not used like digital wellbeing, uninstall not possible remains to update

4.-changed camera app, not easy to select video after camera selection disapears.

5.-google gallery, not able to select "sort by" order, so changed gallery app.

6.- my rookie mistake, but haven't found the option for twin apps or work profile

thank you

take care

NO S21's for me. They do Not have SD Card slot !!!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] 20degrees:
I haven't seen it confirmed due the ultra. If it's the case, I will be skipping.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Rose4uKY:
I keep seeing no SD card slot in none of the S21's. I can't believe it! We already RSVP'D for one cause of the extra $60 using the Samsung shop app. We're getting the Ultra and I read all will have 256 gigs standard instead of 128 but we'll see. I may have to do the 512 cause hubby says once we upgrade were keeping these for a while. I think now you get 4 years of updates instead of 3 I read.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] blackhawk:
No SD card slot, no sale.

I want my bloody data drive... no compromise on that.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Geekser:
I got the Pixel 4 XL a while back and loved the phone. I was concerned when I got it that I might really miss having an SD Card (Pixel phones don't offer SD Cards) but in truth, I really didn't miss it that much. Well, I did miss it some because the Pixel I had offered something like 128GB of storage - but you know, I never got close to running out of storage space.

While I do prefer having an SD Card in my phone, I will still get the S21 Ultra, but will be sure to get either the 256 or 512 GB varient. From everything I have heard about the new S21 Ultra, I believe it is going to be an awesome phone. While not having an SD card is not the perfect situation, I am pretty sure I won't really miss it that much.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] blackhawk:
The SD card allows you to use it as a data drive. Unlike older technologies their data read/writes speeds are fast if you use a V30 rated card.

This allows you to do a full hard reset with no data loss. To completely restore the phone using the stored data including apps with no PC, no Playstore and little or no internet connection.

I can do a 99% complete full reload in about 2 hours.

My 10+ is fully self contained even if I have to reload a minute from now. A card backup to the PC and then a second hdd protects the data no matter what.

No way I'm regressing back to only one SSD.

Two back to back forced reloads caused me to rethink my methods🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Geekser:
I understand - I guess it all comes down to priorities and what is most important to us. I respect your choice but, I personally am looking forward to getting the new S21 ultra. Best of luck my friend.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Virgo_Guy:
Based on all the web info, the S21 Ultra is the only one worth buying this time around it seems out of the three. Looks like that's what Samsung wants consumers to do, too.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Geekser:
For what it's worth, Android Central is saying that the S21 Ultra will be the only S21 Device that will offer an SD Card (big relief if it turns out to be true) Android Central Link
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] blackhawk:
Yay.

Samsung should know better by now though.

Samsung must think it's customers are inept.

Witnessing Samsung's customer service in action will cement that notion.

-&-

Still no bt AptX-HD support though and no 3.5 mm jack to offset this glaring bt deficiency.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Geekser:
I ordered my S21 Ultra - 512 GB today -unfortunately it turns out that early reports were incorrect - none of the S21 series has an SD card slot, including the Ultra. While unfortunate, it is not the end of the world in my opinion. Many phones don't have an SD card slot for a variety of reasons and having the additional storage options of 256 or 512 GB on the Ultra should help make up for it. Hoping they ship the S21's early - otherwise, 2 weeks is not that long of a wait. Looking forward to January 29th!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] blackhawk:
Yay! Hope it works good for you.

The lack of a sd card slot is chintzy as hell.

I absolutely refuse not to have at least one separate data drive on all my PCs and phones.

My 10+ thanks to that is now completely self contained; I can do a complete reload with nothing external needed and little or no internet connection. Hell yeah!

Used right a seperate data is a powerful tool and second layer of data security.

I'm not spending big bucks to backstep.

Samsung, lead me or get the hell out of my way!

If you can't rock it, somebody will...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] JAMRZ69:
Yup same for me,stupid move Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] lywyn:
Some people claim that SD card is safer/better and they do not trust cloud backups. If your phone was lost or stolen then wouldn't that result in losing all the data? You would you have to connect your phone to a desktop/laptop daily to back up the SD card which is an extra headache and what if you didn't have a chance for a few days you could lose some data. And is it more secure? With physical access to the device/card there is usually some way (bug/vulnerability) that allows it.

I use cloud for the simplicity if Google got hacked and someone could access peoples cloud data/photos then I'd be more worried about other data google have than the stuff I sync with my phone. I use a password manager for secure storage so I'm covered. Cloud works well, I recently reset my Pixel 4 XL, 15 minutes later it was restoring from the cloud and all apps and files downloaded shortly after that.

People want SD card slots, that is shown here. But I do not see them being around for much longer except in specialise phone makers trying to sell to a niche area. Are those who demand SD card slots going to end up with phones they don't want just have the slot?

I am in now saying you are right or wrong for wanting the slot I am merely putting on my views on it and would be interested to see what others have to say.

FYI I have ordered the S21 Ultra for the camera. Previously I've been happy with 128GB storage as I use Google Photos to backup and remove my photos to reduce storage. But looking at the capabilities of the new cameras I did opt for a 256GB as a "just in case". If I'm out and about and want to play with RAW/8K features then I'll be able to and then once edited I can clean up some space.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] blackhawk:
My music data base is over 220 gb. Cloud is a poor option for large files. It's either not secure enough or... too secure.

Never "lost" a phone but passwords have failed more than once. Many times it's a hardware failure the causes it.

Double redundant unencrypted backups stored in separate locations not including the SD card are the fastest and safest way.

There's no reason not to want a SD card slot unless you're chintzy Samsung trying to sell bare bones phones for big bucks.

I'm getting tired of playing games with Samsung...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] bitpushr:
I would have preferred an SD card. I purchased a 512GB SD Card for the Note20 (128GB). However, when I look at usage, I am only using about 80GB of data. The built-in storage is good for 99.5% of people. For the .5% of people, who need more storage - this puts them in a tight situation, hopefully they knew this ahead of time and bought a version with more storage, because otherwise they'll need to get a new phone. I ended up getting the 256GB model. Unfortunately the storage upgrade is a money maker for Samsung (and Apple), which is why they made this decision.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] blackhawk:
It's up to >you< to fully utilize a data drive effective; otherwise it's just terabit bragging rights🤣

It's not a question of overall storage space; I'm using 60 gb of my 500 gb internal storage, but deliberately have over 330 gb on the SD card.

To load that data alone takes hours. I keep everything I need for a complete restore on it too; no cloud anything not even Playstore apks.

It's relatively secure from a OS crash and allows for a fast easy complete reload, anytime, anywhere. 100% builtin redundancy.

It also saves needless wear and tear writes to the internal memory.

I use dedicated data drives on all my PCs; combined OS/data drives are a bad practice that lead to unnecessary complications and data loss.

Learn or get burned.

Samsung got chintzy and will pay the price; No Sale!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Maddmatt:
Note you can still use those tiny portable SD card readers via the USB-C port (and USB drives ect). Obviously doesn't satisfy all use cases but still a handy way to transfer and back-up files occasionally.

When I travelled for work I used to load up movies and TV shows on a USB flash drive and plug it into my phone to watch them in the motels.

Before smart TVs and Netflix ect was common in hotels.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] blackhawk:
That's as good as it gets if you have no SD card slot. At least it gives you redundancy if used right.

The SD card slot is an invaluable asset if used correctly, however most don't fully utilize it to it's full potential. I was one of those until about 8 months ago when it dawned on me I had a data drive sitting there begging to be used. I went straight to fully embracing its potential.

One reload since then and it was a snap; fast with almost zero data loss.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Corlan:
256 GB is plenty for me, most of my content is on the cloud. That said, an sd card slot would be nice, but I can live without it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Collin80:
I don't know if the S21 will come with it but the older phones came with USB-C to USB-A adapters that a flash drive will fit into. I have used this to back up stuff on my phone. The phone does recognize standard flash drives and let you copy stuff onto them. But, I think 256GB is plenty enough for me to carry around. I've got computers and external drives I can back up old stuff onto if I want to keep around more than 256GB.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Guides, News] Superrman:

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] mozencrath:
I have a N20 Ultra locked with TMobile in the USA. The phone came stock with Android 10 and OneUI 2.5.

I desperately want to go back to A10 and UI 2.5. If I do a factory reset without restoring a backup from samsung/google will the phone revert itself? Or will it simply still be on Android 11?

I can't unlock the phone and am looking for a non-root answer.

previously on my Note 9 (locked with Verizon) I was able to successfully figure out a way to block all OTA updates after weeks of research but in this case the OTA update was done automatically.

thank you

The flashing was done in 1m23s and now I'm enjoying again all of the GoodLock modules settings!

My device: SM-N986B
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Yay! Samsung takes a month or more to update the Good Lock series after a OS release.

Blame Google and their insane Apple idolization for the trashware that is 11. I don't have any love for Q but was hoping Google fix some of their fails with 11.

Maybe they've gone full blown MS nuts. MS has 3 boned OS releases in a row now. Last good OS was W7x64... but XPx64 was better.

Regardless no matter how good an OS is, I never update if I have a fast, stable OS that I like. If the new OS release is doing well in 6 months then maybe.

Google's motto; it ain't broke, let's fix it anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Szior:
Well, I DO really believe in updates (and also in UI customization! :D)so if there will be a full support for GoodLock, I'll upgrade to A11 (maybe in February).

Besides that you are fully right, I am still wondering why a simple operation like opening the file explorer takes many seconds on W10 and was like an instant thing on XP.... This drives me nuts in my daily work since my employers W10 central upgrade. :(
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Google is making the same MS mistake; wow we have really fast hardware now let's milk some extra cpu cycles out of it... no one will notice.

XPx64 was MS's best, a full load took up 576 mb of ram. Oddly MS never tried to really sell it and went on to the abortion know as Vista (same load on a 32 bit system was over 200 mb larger, wtf?).

I'll probably be running W7x64 for a very long time... even it's interface isn't as usable as XPx64 though.

Silver lining; a lot of great corporate used Dell laptop's out their at cheap prices in great condition. Got a e6400 3 years ago for $130 added some ram, 2 hdds, and eventually had to replaced the batteries. Good looking/running 3 tb laptop for $450 total.
