[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Try what I suggested. Recreating your Google account will most likely fix it. Learn by doing.

Play with it. The stock Android OS are pretty much impossible to damage short of bad 3rd party apps. The more you play with it, the more you learn. Make sure all your critical data is completely backed up*; be prepared for a reload at any time to prevent data loss.

If you need to download apps from Playstore now and have a device that can connect to Playstore do this. Install the apps you want on that device then use ApkExport to copy those apps then transfer and install on the troubled device:)

APK Export (Backup & Share) - Apps on Google Play

Manage and extract your apps.

play.google.com

Google how to bring up the boot menu on your model. The clear system cache option is found there; it can cure many erratic behavior issues.

The hard reboot is a different key sequence, Google for that model.

Do not do a factory reset until you exhaust all other solutions if the load is still fresh and no viruses are present otherwise it's a waste of time.

If you feel you have no other solutions you can use it, but if it doesn't fix it or it reoccurs you'll be right back where you started.

Contact your carrier tech support, ask to talk to advanced tech support, escalate your case if need be. They will likely be more helpful than Samsung. Remember a tech that tells you nothing but to do a factory reset isn't giving you tech support. It's the easiest solution for them, not you!!!

Note: if it's an old OS load by all means punch in a fresh copy though; after a year or so, or any major firmware update a factory reload is good practice.

*back up to SD card if you have one and/or your PC. Back that PC copy up on at least one stand alone hdd. Develop a complete back up plan before you need it.
[General Questions and Answers] tazzuk2020:
i cleared system cache. done a hard reboot. still the same . cant even find the option to do a factory reset. im not worried about backing phone up. the phone is a samsung a51. i have got another firmware downloading as we talk im not convinced its going to sort the problem
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Google it for that model. It's should be on the boot menu though. Also in settings as well.

I don't know what to say. This isn't that hard... small steps first.

I was completely PC illiterate 16 years ago. Was building up custom machines within the first year and probably crashed 50 or more XP loads, lol.

I was completely Android illiterate 6 years ago.

I'm 63 yo...

I have done little coding but you need to acquire a certain level of wherewithal to use PCs/Androids well, to keep them and your data secure.

You learn by doing and the Android OS is far easier to learn than XP or XPx64.

If you don't immerse yourself in it you will not learn.

It's fun to play with.

Explore it, play with it... you can't cause any permanent harm to a stock Android. You will occasionally need to undo a setting(s) change you made that may soak up a lot of time tracking it down but that's how you learn.

Go through all the settings and learn what they do.

Turn on Developer Options, play with it.

Google for the answers as your questions arise.

I'm constantly learning by doing that not just for Androids but a broad range of topics.

Lol, the internet is a whole pseudo library at your fingertips. Pretty cool.
[General Questions and Answers] tazzuk2020:
No factory reset on boot menu. And nowhere to be seen on phone. I even typed it in to search bar on phone . Maybe this is all linked. Only option I have is to reinstall the firmware I have got downloading but that won’t be finished for a few hours
[General Questions and Answers] xunholyx:
You should be able to factory reset from recovery. Google how to boot to recovery for your device

Nothing from boot menu.View attachment 5212005

Part of the reason I left Samsung years ago. They do stuff different than any other OEM. You can't even use fastboot commands ffs

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] NPinUK:
Hello,

Can any one confirm they get 5G on there Samsung Galaxy S20+ G9860 Hong Kong version on the o2 Network? This is with the latest firmware.

I have just moved on to a 5G plan on o2 and whilst in many o2 5G areas I never get 5G. It goes to 4G+ but never 5G. I have a new 5G o2 sim etc....

I'm running on the latest TGY firmware and for a short period changed my CSC to BRI and loaded BRI firmware but didn't make much difference. It never went to 5G.

As soon as I put a 3 network sim in I get 5G on sim slot 1 and 2 all day long in 5G areas.

Does anyone actually get 5G on any phone with o2?

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] thebiggboss180:
Hello guys.

I got the S21 ultra but the problem is the screen never goes below 60 Hz, and as you guys see in the display checker screenshot its says that there's no support for 10 Hz as I also never saw it.

my variant is the CSC with MID code and 2100 CPU, if you guys can post here the same details to see if it's region-specific.

and another point to point, this screen should support HDR10+ right?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ManicGTI:
I have just received my XDA Ignito from O2, I have my old SonyEriksson phone address book saved as a .wab file and want to sync this with the Ignito/Diamond.

It does come bundled with a 'trial' version of Outlook but I don't really see the point in using it if it's just a trial that will run out. Plus I don't want to install Outlook just to sync my contacts!

Are there any free progs out there I can use to do this?

My old SE and Motorola phones came bundled with software that would do everything!

Thanks in advance!

Dave
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mb5049:
I have Outlook installed on my machine... and I hate it, always have always will! I only need it for sync'ing my contacts. When I had my wizard way back (in technology terms anyway), the answer I kept getting was NO you can't sync with anything else.

The problem I am having with my contacts (and I have yet to find an answer for it) is that the Diamond/Ignito shows both my sim contacts and the phone contacts. The two lists are the same so when I go into 'all people' everyone is listed twice!

Any ideas anyone?

Matt
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ManicGTI:
I'm till struggling with this. All I find is annoying 'trial' editions of programs that calim various things. When I left Outlook Express behind I assumed I was doing the right thing exporting to a wab file to back it up!

I've even installed OutlookXP now from an old office CD, but it can't import WAB files!! Can the version on the bundled CD?

There must be another way of getting a wab address book onto the Diamond?

Possible when dirty flashing newer rom over same rom but older version :-)
[Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC Questions & Answers] jeryll:
Flash? But of course, why not? You can flash whatever your recovery and/or custom ROM installation script allow on your device...

But you should really ask this - will my phone boot after I do that?

You should also ask yourself: why am I posting this here and not in Questions and Answers?

Guys, I come from the past (2015), and back in my days, we used something called xposed with cool addons to block YT ads, and many more things...

Now I am a dinosaur, and haven't thinkered with rooting for years.

Is there any way to block YT ads on current Android 9, and 10 gadgets? (one plus 5. Samsung note 8, 10, s20, Tablet TabA, Tab S6, etc...) with or without rooting?

I noticed some ROMs that come with AdblockPlus pre cooked, but many just offer a dedicated browser with YT ad block, and I rather not download another browser for it, but a dedicated solution.

Any help??

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] thenetvines:
Ironically, I have Magisk flashed on an old Lollipop Fire 7 tablet, and some of the modules are xPosed, and some xposed relative succesors within Magisk. I tried using them to no avail :(, and when browsing for other Magiks modules, none of them offer ad blocking on YT for this particular old device.

I do like that Vanced app though, hopefully it's stable enough. Thank you for the info!!!
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] cd993:
Hey guys,

I'll soon be getting the Poco F2 Pro and like I've done for previous devices with an active rom development community, just wondering what is your current rom of choice and for what reasons.

This can be a place just to share your experience of the various roms available to us and provide a summary of what you like about it, frequency of updates, battery, features, bugs etc.

Looking forward to hearing back...
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] tze_vitamin:
oneOS until they didnt having some crazy idea to charge weekly updates 2e,so they stop to developing it because a lot of people didnt like this idea.

xiaomi.eu is also good. I am using it instead of oneOS
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] cd993:
Thanks for the reply.

What do you like about it, in comparison to stock rom etc?

Anyone any other suggestions? I see there's over 15 custom roms for this , which is great, though would be keen to hear people's experience with some of them.

I'm currently tempted by Havoc, just because I've enjoyed that rom on previous devices. Just I wish to avoid any bugs and just want a feature-rich stable rom, no background drain or significant things broken...
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] tze_vitamin:
Xiaomi.eu is a good rom. I am on weekly. Every friday I got updates, also you have stable. On weekly ,you get first the latest updates from china ROM. Battery is also good too. No bugs or any bug problems with this ROM
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] cd993:
Nice, stable roms are always a winner.

Have you tried any of the custom roms?

I used to love custom roms in general but then found myself just valuing stable stock much better these days. I do miss some features from custom roms though, but stock does just seem the best in some ways.

Unless someone can suggest a custom feature-packed rom that doesn't sacrifice performance...
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] tze_vitamin:
Only OneOS that eas the best rom after bootleggers that I have on 8pro
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] lawong:
for aosp like custom rom ,i'll choose crdroid ,because its stable enough , lots of customization , up t0 date .

for miui based = xiaomi.eu, im using it now , had to switch to xiaomi.eu from crdroid because of the camera .

and for android 10 will choose evolution rom.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] saturn3000:
Is it possible to use banking apps and payment apps with xiaomi.eu rom? Does it have any contraindications to use xiaomi.eu instead of stock? Thank you.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] cd993:
Thanks for the response.

When you say the camera, is that because you missed miui camera and prefer it over gcam? That's my thoughts too.... Will try crdroid on Tues when I can unlock, but I almost sense I'll go to stock miui eu but rooted and debloated
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] lawong:
yes it is possible , i am myself using banking apps , make sure to set magisk hide if using magisk.

Last stable and weekly EU rom pass safety net and have the playstore certified whitout root.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] gam3r_mast3r:
xiaomi.eu is the best one for me.

Since end of January, the weekly builds are good, they pass safetynet, play store is certified, google pay works, all my bank apps work, even enterprise office365 is fine (without root of course, I haven't found any hack for this with magisk activated).

MIUI 12.5, Xiaomi phone app, no add, various tweaks included, more responsive and better battery life than stock.

A no brainer if you want a MIUI based ROM!

This is now my daily driver for my work phone!

Just missing an android 11 fully compatible TWRP (impossible to remove these xiaomi.eu icons with the current version) for Nirvana :cool:
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] saturn3000:
Does call recording work too?

Is dual sim active with a 5G sim?

Xiaomi.eu automatically updates itself via OTA when there are new builds?

Then I unlock the bootloader, install the TWRP, install the weekly xiaomi.eu and all the banking apps, playstore, etc. do they work or do I have to do something else?

Thank you.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] mathey:
I'm on Xiaomi.eu too and I can confirm that call recording works well because of Xiaomi dialer in this ROM, there is even an option for automatic recording.

As for the 5G and dual sim - from what I know this is technically unpossible. There probably are no phones at the moment which support dual sim with 5G.
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] saturn3000:
As for the dual sim with 5G, I mean one sim in 5G and one in 4G. If you read in the instruction manual it says that they would have activated this function with an update ...
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] oroboros74:
Do you have a link to the TWRP you used to install xiaomi.eu?

I think I want to try it, especially if you say there are no problems with banking apps...

But you say root doesn't work?
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Guides, News, &] NOSS8:
I am currently using ANCIENTOS, a lot of customization and options and especially a brightness control for AOD.

The autonomy is very good and the FOD is fast.

The play store is not certified, but my banking application is working.

Clarifying the root system is a hazardous producer alternative that negates the gadget's guarantee in a brief timeframe however offers more advantages. In the cutting edge mechanical local area, there are various applications to root gadgets. In the event that the necessity is to root Samsung Galaxy gadgets, there is an authority application for brilliant mobiles called Odin v3.09. This Samsung Odin streak instrument is another high-level XDA designer creation that depends on the use of Samsung Inc. The application was at first stowed away from normal clients since it was formally utilized uniquely in the influenced administration focuses to fix mistakes brought about by crashes.

At that point download, Odin v3.09 was uncovered and now all Galaxy clients reserve the option to streak different capacities or root gadgets with the referenced Odin 3.09 application in a brief timeframe.
