[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] user128494:
Hi there,

I've recently bought the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G ( SM-G781B) and I've noticed part of the display is cloudy/distorted when black.

It's most noticeable on the lock screen, or whenever the background is black.

It looks like some sort of defect. Does anyone have any ideas?

I noticed some cloudiness (to a lesser degree) on my Samsung Galaxy S8.

I bought the S20 FE brand new from Samsung.

I've attached some images for reference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you just bought it, what's the point of making a thread? Just bring it back to the shop and show defect.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] user128494:
Because a similar effect happened on the S8 so not sure if it's just Samsung displays or something else. Mostly visible when the room is dark so it's hard to show when the room is lit.

This is the lottery of OLED screens. Some are perfect and some are (defective) like this.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] tkshk:
Mine has a uniformity issue, too. It's only visible in low brightness dark gray when in a dark room, so I decided to keep mine. I've seen similar issues in other oled panels of Galaxy and Pixel phones as well before. There is no guarantee you get a better panel for a replacement as mentioned in the comment above. If the un-uniformity is too bad, I would just return it and get another one because I heard Samsung is tough on exchange or repair for this kind of display issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] user128494:
Is it possible to get a replacement (UK) if the phone is rooted and the bootloader is unlocked?

My fear is that if I don't get it repaired/replaced, it may get worse over time, and then I'm stuck with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] tkshk:
Not sure about the exchange policy in the UK. The display uniformity didn't get worse over time in my old phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] user128494:
Only problem is the Samsung stores are closed in the UK at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] b1k3rdude:
EU law set a president years ago that even if the phone is rooted Samsung have to honor the hardware warranty. But if your that worried back up your data and flash the stock rom back to the phone via ODIN before you send it off to Samsung. Clearly there is something wring with the display on your unit.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] b1k3rdude:
The issue is the S20FE has an AMOLED screen so there is NO backlight, you should not being seeing any kind of 'glow' on put black backgrounds. Also my S20FE 5G shows no such defect.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] user128494:
The problem is, if I do send it off, they may just reject replacement of the item, as in download mode it says Warranty Void: 0x01

On the Samsung Forum a Samsung Mod talks about the warranty being voided in a similar thing:

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] sjevtic:
I built a minimally modified BTI (Android 10) kernel for my Exynos S20+ (G986B) from the Samsung-released source and used Android Image Kitchen by @osm0sis to extract the boot.img from my device and repack it with the kernel image I built. I subsequently installed the new boot.img with dd, and the phone boots normally, including showing the expected uname output.

The only issue I've seen so far is that Wi-Fi doesn't work. I observed the following:

Immediately after installing the kernel, Wi-Fi simply refuses to turn on, with the button turning back to gray a few seconds later. dmesg output includes complaints about failure powering up Wi-Fi chip and downloading firmware to it.

After reformatting /data, Wi-Fi turns on and wlan0 is even visible in ifconfig output, but no networks are discovered and it is impossible to connect to any network. dmesg output contains numerous WIFI_SEC errors including references to files that do not exist in /data/misc/conn

After reinstalling a boot.img containing the stock kernel, normal Wi-Fi functionality is immediately restored on next boot, even without reformatting /data.

A search of XDA and the greater web turned up lots of complaints about this issue spanning many years and generations of Galaxy devices. The solutions I found fell into three categories:

Replacing libsecure_storage components with a patched version. The version I found was quite old.

Setting ro.securestorage.support to false in build.prop. There are also comments that indicate this doesn't work.

Placing some provided files in /data/misc/conn. This seems somewhat unlikely to be applicable for this device/build since there are no files here even when Wi-Fi is working correctly with the stock kernel.

Can someone (maybe one of the prolific kernel devs like @freeza ) explain to me what is going on here and suggest a good way to address it? I'd definitely prefer an approach that doesn't involve inserting prepared binaries.

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] sjevtic:
The problem here is the way the Wi-Fi driver (drivers/net/wireless/broadcom/bcmdhd_101_12) is built in my custom Kernel:

Makefile uses the ANDROID_VERSION or PLATFORM_VERSION environment variables to define the ANDROID_PLATFORM_VERSION macro, but does not do so if ANDROID_VERSION or PLATFORM_VERSION are not set.

dhd.h uses the lack of ANDROID_PLATFORM_VERSION to:

Set the VENDOR_PATH macro to "" resulting in firmware being sought in /etc/wifi instead of /vendor/etc/wifi as expected for Android 10.

Set the PLATFORM_PATH macro to "/data/misc/conn/" resulting in configuration being sought in /data/misc/conn instead of /data/vendor/conn as expected in Android 10.

So, the solution was much simpler than any of possible methods I found earlier. All I had to do to resolve this problem was run this before building my Kernel:

export PLATFORM_VERSION=10.0

It seems that this is an omission in Samsung's build instructions. Upon installing my kernel built this way, Wi-Fi works as expected. This is very similar to what is described in post 79 of this thread.

Sadly, this didn't work for the Galaxy Tab 8.0 (SM-T290) which suffers identical symptoms when I build from kernel source. There's no reference to ANDROID_VERSION, PLATFORM_VERSION, ANDROID_PLATFORM_VERSION or even VENDOR_PATH in any kernel source file.

what is it
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] oatMeal22:
I solved it by building and signing my own pronto_wlan.ko, then replacing /vendor/lib/modules/pronto_wlan.ko with that. However, WiFi will not re-enable after being disabled until reboot or rmmod wlan is run

Make sure it is signed with the same signing_key.pem used for the kernel

I'm like you, I stopped using personalized roms because the cooks make modifications that I do not accept, moreover they remove functions that the manufacturer has developed for our devices and which are very useful.

What I hate the most are the totally unnecessary and ugly cosmetic modifications, clock in the top bar, battery indicator etc.

Now I only use the manufacturer roms patched by myself and I am satisfied.

I tried about 10 of them that I bought via Amazon in IT Europe but without any success.

Do you guys know any solution on how to capture android 10 screen on windows except via WiFI? WiFi make my game run slow and the apps used to mirror the screen seem to use a lot of CPU.

[Motorola Razr 5G Questions & Answers] afx69:
Hi all,

Just converted from Huawei to this beauty which I already love dearly :)

Though, having big issues with two apps I really *need* to stay active in the background. Both apps do have the option "Run in background" which are activated. I've also made sure those two apps are not Battery Optimized. I've also made sure they have all needed Access Rights (Camera, Mic, etc etc). Still - when the lid are closed and a while after, the two apps stops receiving notifications. Also, the two apps stop sending information back to the systems telling that I have the apps active and are monitoring/on watch. Opening the lid are enough to wake the apps up enough to receive notifications. I can honestly not use this phone unless I find the cause of this whatever are killing the apps. The notifications are alarms from two different monitoring systems.

Are there any other places/settings I can look to find out why the apps stop responding?

Also, where are now the setting where I can tell that these two apps should autostart on boot?

In advance, thx.

Br,

Stigh
[Motorola Razr 5G Questions & Answers] Yoni160:
Maybe turning this on would help maintain a stable connection: settings>apps & notifications>Special app access>Unrestricted data

I also have a Huawei, unfortunately the option of AutoStart apps isn't available in this phone as far as I know.

Can I ask if you are also having background 'clicks' from the earpiece when talking on the phone?

[Motorola Razr 5G Questions & Answers] afx69:
Hi, thx for the feedback, I will test this setting and see - and report back :) Though, as it works as long as the phone do not fall into Deep Sleep, how can it be unrestricted data? To me, it seems Android go into some Deep Sleep state some time after you close the phone - I suspect this is a Motorola-thing, not Android 10.

No, I have no 'clicks' in the backround when using phone itsself or BT headset. Have not tested the original cabled earpiece though.
[Huawei Developers] John Wo:
Introduction

In this article, will explain how to develop heart reading health application integration on Harmony lite wearable. Following are the APIs we are going to integrate with this application.

1) On Body status API: To detect the watch is tied with the user’s wrist.

2) Heart rate API: To read the heart rate.

3) Memory storage API: To cache the previous reading.

4) Keep screen on API: To keep the screen on for 5 minutes.

Moving to this article if you are new to the Harmony platform, you can check this article: Huawei Lite Wearable Application Development using HUAWEI DevEco Studio (HamonyOS)

Requirements

1) DevEco IDE

2) Lite wearable watch (Can use simulator also)

Steps to create the project

1) Open the DevEco studio, choose File > New > New Project to create the new project.

2) Select the Lite Wearable project and select Template.

3) Enter Project Name and Package name, and then click Finish.

Flow chart

Here is the flow chart of the application that we are going to integrate.

Integration process

Step 1: Design the UI

As the first step, we can create a UI that contains two texts, one for the heading and another for showing the result.

index.html

<div class="container" onswipe="touchMove">
<text class="title"> Your Heart Rate is </text>
<text class="title2"> {{title}} bpm </text>
</div>

index.css

.container {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
left: 0px;
top: 0px;
width: 454px;
height: 454px;
flex-direction:column;
}
.title {
font-size: 30px;
text-align: center;
width: 200px;
height: 100px;
}
.title2 {
font-size: 30px;
text-align: center;
width: 400px;
height: 40px;
flex-wrap:wrap;
background-color: cornflowerblue;
}

Run the application, and you can see an output as given below.

Step 2: Integrate On Body State API

Now we will move to the API part. Firstly we have to add code to check if the user is tied with the watch or not. For that, we have on body state API.

Hello, i would like to flash a firmware on my Honor 9 to be able to unlock the bootloader.

I found out i can do this with the dload method, so copying the update.app in the dload folder and then by pressing power + volume buttons install it.

my problem now is i think i found in some question here the files which should give me some firmware with Android 8 before the 6/18 secrutiy patch.

But i dont get which files exactly i now have to put in the dload folder.

The files are:

-update.zip

-> update.app

-update_full_STF-L09_hw_eu.zip

-> update.app

-update_data_full_public.zip

also there is some other stuff in the zip archies

So does anyone know which files should be in it? Everywhere it just says the Update.App but why are there 2 different update.app and all these other files if its just one file to put in?

Also here https://xdaforums.com/t/formatting-with-dload-method.3815949/ in post #5 it says i should put both in?

im super confused

Does anyone also know how i find out if the files i got are actually the right version?

Also i previously tried to install a firmware with Android 7 which told me its invalid when i tried to install it, since apperantly you cant install a android 7 firmware when you are on Anroid 8.

i got the Android 7 stuff from this thread

any help is appreciated

ps.

if anyone has other ideas how to unlock the bootloader to root my honor 9 i appreciate it. I already have tried DC Unlocker but apperantly it only works if you dont have the 6/18 sercrutiy patch installed

edit: I was on Anroid 9.1 before and managed to downgrade to Android 8 with HiSuite, but i cant downgrade further now with HiSuite. If someone knows a simpler way to downgrade my Honor 9 i would appreciate it also
