[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
Not happening.

SM-N986U and U1 devices have two IMEI for "future" eSIM functionality, but currently have the feature disabled in the modem (firmware) and in the carrier CSC config. Even if you were able to enable it on the modem side, the moment you drop your Verizon SIM card in, their CSC feature set will lock you out of any eSIM functions.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
This will not work on the US version of the Note 20 Ultra. The 986U and 986U1 devices sold in the US are single SIM with eSIM(disabled). It does not have two physical SIM readers Only SIM/MicroSD.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
That's an S20, not a Note 20. ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
Next time you want to fake a screen shot, make sure and update the Android security patch version to not be 6 months before the phone ever existed. ;)

I won't go into all the other obvious inaccuracies with the rest of the screenshot. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
All 986U/U1 devices have two IMEI numbers. Showing a snapshot of the box with two IMEI's is nothing new. Mine looks the same. Still doesn't support two physical SIM cards and again... Feb 2020 security update never existed on the Note 20. It was released in August of 2020.

Also, your device serial number doesn't match the serial number on the box.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
If you are saying it's easy to do, please explain how you did so? I also bought a dual sim tray from aliexpress and tried to put two sim cards in the US U1 and nothing happened. If you say it's easy then please explain what you did instead of just posting pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
Flash combination what? Edit sim? That's very vague. I want to believe you because I want to run dual Sims as well. But unless you can be a tad more specific I don't know if I can believe you.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
I don't understand what flash combination means, I don't understand what read sim, reset msl, and write sim mean. Are you using a specific program, If so what is it. Do you need root? What firmware?

Specifics my man.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
What is a combination?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
Where would I find that?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
that's an S20. This is a Note 20 Ultra thread
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
Hmm, I got this error

Please get the approval to use factory binary (pit)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
So how did you get around the " Please get the approval to use factory binary (pit)" error? seems almost impossible to flash combination firmware from what I have been reading.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
I believe he's referring to Multi CSC firmware, which all Samsung devices use now. They are multi carrier, not multi device. This is why you cannot flash a 986F/D firmware onto a 986U/U1 device. Different internal hardware, and in some cases, different CPU.

There is no 986U/U1 firmware that has dual SIM card capabilities. The pit error means the pit file is either for the wrong device or was edited and not properly signed before being repackaged.

Even still, you cannot enable a hardware feature when the hardware doesn't exist.

Dual SIM phones have a different physical SIM slot configuration than Single SIM/eSIM devices.

Sure... the trays are the same dimensions, but the contact pads are different.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
I unpacked the image file you referenced. The pit file looks like it was pulled from an S20. I could be wrong, but I see references to it.

This is basically a debug custom ROM. Not for a daily driver. Anything you activate will not survive an upgrade.

I'm also pretty sure you cannot link to these ROMs on XDA as they're used for changing IMEI info, and removing FRP locks. Great for people who deal in stolen devices.

Good for devs to get into the software, but still questionable software.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
Why is it questionable if it's from Sammy for devs?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] rjohnstone:
Because it allows you to bypass FRP locks and write new IMEI info. Phone thieves love this.

Again, good for devs, but no end user should ever be running on this as a daily driver.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Fatmonk8:
And if your a dev and use it and can also use it to unlocked dual sim, I see no harm. Not shady in my opinion if your not using it for I'll will.

Hi, im currently in south africa, i have a Huawei p40 pro ELS-NX9. this is a dual sim version, however, i only have one nano sim slot, and the other sim is an eSim. my network provider usually takes the dual sim feature away. Is there any way i can enable sim slot 2, as we in south africa do not have eSim capabilities.
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] It_ler:
It seems to be an hybrid SIM device with only one physical (nano) SIM slot and an eSIM. Dual SIM feature is only possible by using one eSIM AFAIK 🤷‍♂️
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] Amowagou:

[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] gmikhail:
Hello. I did a little research and decided to share it with the community. Please confirm or deny my investigation. Perhaps I missed something or misunderstood.

This review point to high pixel response times:

Poco X3 NFC smartphone - Equipment champion in the mid-range

The Poxo X3 NFC offers a Snapdragon 732G, 6 GB of RAM, 64/128 GB storage, microSD support, an audio port, an IR blaster, Bluetooth 5.1, fast LTE, and a powerful 5160 mAh battery for little money.

www.notebookcheck.net

Black to White	24.4 ms (rise and fall)
50% Grey to 80% Grey	44.4 ms (rise and fall)

This means that the display will have time to fully display (pixels have time to completely change color) approximately 23-42 fps.

fps = 1000 ms / 24 or 35 ms

But already at 60 Hz, each frame will have time to be displayed by about 49-71% (this is how far the pixels have time to change color).

100% = 24 or 35 ms
X% = 17 ms (1000 ms / 60 frames)

And at 120 Hz, respectively 23-33%.

In simple terms, scrolling black text on a white background at 120 Hz, each frame has time to be drawn only by ~30%. Therefore, instead of black text on each frame, we see a smeared gray trail. And we get a motion blur effect.

Display motion blur - Wikipedia

en.m.wikipedia.org

Are my conclusions correct and is the POCO X3 NFC screen really that slow? Because I actually see a lot of blur at 120 Hz in dynamic scenes (the scrolled text is actually unreadable), but I don't have the equipment to confirm my calculations.

Feedback to the screen of my device for statistics

Model: dsi_nt36672c_huaxing_fhd_video_display

The trails are visible only when scrolling text or other contrasting dynamic scenes.

There is uneven backlighting along the edges (especially at the bottom), but if you look at the screen strictly perpendicularly, it is invisible, even on a white background, the darkening is clearly visible only at the bottom.

There is no purple tint around the edges of the screen, as in some reviews, just a dark/gray gradient.
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Guides, News, & Discussion] Abdullah.Csit:
There is no need for equipments, You can notice this clearly when pages on dark and text white you will see noisy blur effect

I don't know if it hardware or software matter🤦🏻‍♂️
[General Questions and Answers] skullkid998:
Hello everyone! :)

I have a little question for you geeks.

I have an old Android TV box, and I would like to Dump the Rom to be able to modify it to my liking.

The device only has two USB ports, an Ethernet port, and an HDMI port.

The device appears to be already rooted.

My question is: since the device does not have a micro usb port for connection to the computer, how is it possible to perform a dump?

I think my question may be useful for other people with the same idea as me.

Thanks in advance for your answers!
[TCL 10 Pro  Guides, News, & Discussion] JayTM:
One day it crossed my mind that this is a OEM based rom after all and it should have secret dialer codes. So what did I do? I downloaded and app from Google Play called Secret Codes by Itools Network. The app lists all secret codes by manufacturer but I wanted to know TCL Secret codes. On the top right of the app is a # symbol. Tap it and you will see all the devices secret codes.

"Proceed at own risk, I am not responsible if you mess up your device!"

Dialer Secret secret code *#*#7862732#*#* brings up the UI for ARDA the com.tct.cellular.arda apk.

Depending if you have a T799B or T799H (dual sim version) you might have different LTE Bands set by default. On USA T799B variant: default selected bands are 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7 , 8, 12, 13, 17, 25, 26, 28, 38, 40, 41. The box of the phone mentions band 66 but as you can see you will not see it in the menu for some reason.

Navigate to:

Antenna and RF > LTE Band Selection

Enjoy your new unlocked LTE bands. Once you exit the menu the settings should stay.

I still have to test this myself, an app I recommend: LTE Discovery for google play, it will show you what LTE Band you are on. From here on you can enable logging mode which will keep a log in the background as of what lte band you are connected to.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] It_ler:
What exactly do you mean by "mod"?

Modification?

If you mean mode, that are different camera modes/extensions available via Samsung Galaxy store or the camera app itself - scroll the modes to the right and click on the "+" (add). See my screenshot.

If you mean a custom camera app, there are several camera apps for your device e.g. via Play store.

Hi, yesterday I bought op8t aquamarine 12/256 (290€) from this store ***

Does, anyone else bought it from this store?

If yes please send me screenshot of your shipping and other any update.

Thanks a lot
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] OhioYJ:
You know why the other thread got closed right? Anyways, I'm guessing you maybe the first, since it says that store opened yesterday. Oddly enough, also now has no items for sale, and no feedback, despite having "291 followers".

I've never had a problem getting money back from AliExpress though. I'm guessing this is likely going to be a situation where you get a fake tracking number that never goes anywhere, and you have to file a dispute. Hopefully I'm wrong though. Just nothing about that store seems right to me upon initial inspection.

[Other SmartWatches] vivelafrance:
Hi,

2 questions please for people who own the Ticwatch Pro 3 LTE smart watch:

1. If you're using Vodafone OneNumber with it (UK), do you need to connect your watch to your phone via Bluetooth, or are all notifications synced over as long as both the phone and the watch are connected to the internet?

2. Isn't this watch supposed to have a GPS as well as LTE??? I can't get the GPS to work at all unless I connect the watch to the phone via Bluetooth...

Thnx
[Other SmartWatches] gavira:
Hi !!

1) with LTE enable, the watch can read notification (like sms) , but you need the App.

2) Yes, you can use GPS without the phone.

From the Google play store or from the Galaxy store, I can install SmartThings on the Samsung galaxy s21ultra.

I have another Samsung galaxy s9 + phone with the Android 10 operating system. On this phone, I can download the Samsung Gear S3 (5850) app from the Galaxy store SmatThings to my smartwatch.

The only problem is that the SmatThings app is not in the Galaxy store on the Samsung galaxy s21ultra Android 11 ..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erj.swisss:
Redmi Note 9 Pro : I've had a lot of cell phones, but only on my Redmi Note 9 Pro does the following happen:

Miui 12 has a function "Automatically on/off speaker ...". But this only works with "talkback". For generations of mobile phones there have been extra programs for this function that either run separately or are built into audio recorders or phone apps. However, these apps do not work on my Remi 9. That was the reason why I rooted the device. However, there was no change. The rooting process had no effect. E.g. I would like to send an SMS to myself using "AutomateIt" when I receive an email. - But it doesn't work either. AI asks for permission to read emails. I give permission. Everything looks well, but if I check the permissions under "additional permissions" afterwards, no permission has been granted.

At first I thought it was due to AI - but I think it is due to Redmi n9: I tried to rename any file in the root - e.g. "media / mybootanimation.zip". A message appears that this cannot be carried out. Whereby it doesn't work with multiple explorers. If I change the rights of the file to "755", that doesn't work either

Accordingly, there is generally a write block.

Can someone tell me what to do to make this work?

I have 3 Samsung Tab E(SM-T378V) tablets and 2 Samsung S6(SM-G920V), all from Verizon.

The tablets are google locked and the phones are samsung locked. They've all been reset without removing them.

Is there a way around this? I've tried quite a few methods. I believe the phones are on Android 7 and tablets as well.

I don't want to dial emergency numbers. I've tried putting a sim and using RealTerm, nothing happens.

Do I have paper weights or can I make use of them at all?
[General Questions and Answers] It_ler:
If the bootloader is locked, you will have to get it unlocked before flashing another firmware version.

If the bootloader is unlocked, you can flash a firmware for your device which is not OEM locked AFAIK. (Might be a little bit different for each device/model)

I personally never had a locked device. Maybe you can ask your old provider (Verizon) for an unlock code. If not possible, you have to search for OEM unlock for your devices and try your luck. That's the price you have to pay for such a "sponsored" device 🤷‍♂️
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] myn:
FYI if you're having less than expected Carrier Data performance, try taking off your case.

My wife and I both have the same base S21's on the same shared Data plan but with different cases. Our Speed Tests are dramatically different.

She is using the Samsung Silicone case and gets 100mbit down / 23mbit up.

i'm using the Samsung clear case and getting 24mbit down and 7mbit up.

Upon taking off my case I was getting the same performance as she was.

Curious to see if other variants of the S21 (plus and ultra) exhibit the same issue.

I hope a future Samsung software update may be able to help us with this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] It_ler:
Good question 🤔

It may depend on the individual case, if it is thick or thin and its material/what it is made of.

Most cases should be made so that it does not decrease the reception/connectivity significantly ... hopefully 🤞

S view case, no difference in speed. Try hers in your case
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] Claghorn:
I did a speed test yesterday with no case, and just now with my new Otterbox defender. Yesterday I got 147 and 4.71 on 5G and 122 and 5.94 on wifi. Today I got 80.8 and 0.80 on LTE (which is odd, since the status bar said 5G while I was running the test) and 98.9 and 5.04 on wifi. If it wasn't such a pain to take the case off, I'd do that and try again :).

More results: With the Otterbox defender case on the phone the speedtest app never says 5G, it always says LTE. Without the case, I consistently am able to do 5G tests (though the speed is really variable, but that's probably T-mobile). With my new VANMASS case, results are the same with and without the case. With both cases, wifi results are essentially the same. So Otterbox seems to hate 5G.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Accessories] dmodl712:
One thing to keep in mind is the orientation of the phone, the receivers are directional for the most part. Could you have held a phone elsewhere and done the test with case on. Then after you realized the discrepancy, you probably placed both the phones in the same orientation on a table for example, and then done the caseless tests together.

You can manually install latest samsung drivers to your PC, or install a Samsung application (such as SmartSwitch, etc.) to do it automatically.

And you can check the USB settings on the mobile, if you can change the connection "mode". Click on the USB connection notification when connected to the PC. And set it to data transfer.

See my screenshots (taken on my S10) ... Should be similar on your device.
