Has anyone with a Pixel 4a 5G managed to get Adaptive Charging to work properly?

I know it only works at specific timings.

Ok, so say I set my alarm for 7am and I put it on charge at 10.30pm, it states that it is Adaptive Charging and will be fully charged by 7am.

However, when I awoke at 2am it had fully charged already.

Google stated to try it in safe mode which I did but it was still the same outcome.

Is anyone experiencing the same?

everything works on your phone, don't worry.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] warrencoakley:
So it's working bad it should on your Pixel 4a 5G?

There are so many users that it's not working for.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] Wet999:
Open the link that I attached in the last post and read the comments, everything works. I personally conducted the tests myself.

Screenshot. At night and with a fast charger connected.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] warrencoakley:
So it slow charges until the time you set?
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] Wet999:
yes, slowly, but at the same time the battery charging process is not interrupted, so even at low amperage, the phone can already charge at 2-3 a.m. (4-5 hours after the start).
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] warrencoakley:
Yeah it's not working for me and thousands of others
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] warrencoakley:
Adaptive Charging still not working. I thought the February patch would of fixed it but it hasn't
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] Wet999:
If the firmware is stock and the kernel too, then adaptive charging works. Read carefully how it works!
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] mrmichaelhallett:
It's not that simple.

Charging for the right amount of time and at the rate charge current will make or break your battery over the long haul.

From a pixel 2 user with a bad battery from overcharging.

Now that I have the 4A 5G, which came in the mail today, directly from Google I guess I'll dare to take a heat gun and try to pull the Pixel 2 apart (which I guess is quite difficult without breaking anything) and replace the battery ... but I sure wish that I had had either A one of those USB chargers that shuts off automatically or B that the phone had adaptive charging of some sort.

[Xiaomi Mi 11] derdabi:
Hi,

I got my MI 11 last Friday (6 days now) / and am getting about 6,5-7 SOT with 60Hz, Dark Mode, FHD+ and 0 gaming.

I primarily use it for Spotify, Twitter, Chrome Browser, Reddit, Facebook etc. so nothing too demanding. Nothing is significantly high in the battery stats too.

This is way worse than on my Mate 20 Pro which I had before.

Is the experience with 12.5 better? What are your opinions/experiences? I am honestly thinking about selling it and getting back to the Mate 20 Pro :/

Thanks guys, have a good day!
[Xiaomi Mi 11] matheus_sc:
Good for me in 120hz. Its worse than poco f2 pro, but crazy fast recharge
[Xiaomi Mi 11] davidjog1:
Similar experiece with last Xiaomi.eu
[Xiaomi Mi 11] derdabi:
So with 12.5 ?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] davidjog1:
Yes, about 5:30 screen time...
[Xiaomi Mi 11] xchatter:
xiaomi.eu is always with worse battery life than stock. That's because a lot of MIUI strict battery control policies are disabled by default because users find it hard to configure them properly per-app.
[Xiaomi Mi 11] marcoshmaciel:
With xiaomi.eu_multi_MI11_21.2.3_v12-11 my Mi 11 battery life is better compared with CN official version.

anyone know how to get the live search, search function on the htc home screen for the tilt? i have live search(the newest update) and don't see an option for it. thx.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kimtyson:
Wouldn't that be in Start-Settings-Personal-Today-Items Tab?

Please see my sig.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] brianlb:
nope, doesn't show up there, already looked. and regardless of your sig, it's a message board, i'll post what ever i want.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kimtyson:
Yeah, I was going from memory. Sorry about that. Actually I am correct but the program has to be installed in a specific way.

In spite of you posting whatever you want, some day you may post something that someone objects to a lot more than I would. Then you may not be posting at all. My sig is to remind people to always search first.

Now, if you do a Google search you will find the answer to your question. Or you could sit on your a$$ and wait for someone to eventually, maybe, answer your question for you. But don't hold your breath.
[MTCD Android Head Units General] Cregeland:
Hi,

I posted this in the Android Auto General yesterday - but that might have been the wrong forum. Please forgive me for the doublepost.

I´m having issues with an old Eonon GA8166A unit in a BMW X5 E53 where the Bluetooth is very unstable (does not work when the unit is cold and only intermittent after multiple restarts when the unit is warm).

Since the unit is discontinued and out of warranty I´m wondering if it is possible to replace the motherboard and/or bluetooth module on this unit? I believe it is a px3 board with android 7.1.2 and MTCD KBT 2.61.

Maybe it is possible to upgrade to a newer board with better cpu/ram (maybe a PX6?) while still maintaining the integration with car system (canbus).

From other threads it appears a new firmware (MTCE KBT 3.3) is recommended before changing the board. I cant´t seem to find newer KBT firmwares though. I have browsed the Yandex disk but can´t find the KBT version.

Any help or suggestions for boards that will work for my unit would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you sir.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] JimmytheGeek:
So will this trip KNOX? My phone should get here next week (AT&T), and one of the first things I always want to do is get rid of the bloat.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Chcolat-tiède:
No problem with KNOX.

But majority of bloatwares are issued of CSC carrier brand and it is impossible to change csc without root or using samkey...

So this firmware will be like other versions with same samsung apps unless I'm wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] milan03:
Thanks for the guide.

If I may, I'd like to post a correction on the state of the supported frequency bands on Canadian and the US firmware:

- The U1 firmware doesn't only support T-Mobile bands, it also fully supports AT&T and Verizon frequency bands, which includes their unique LTE carrier aggregation combinations as well as the 5G non-standalone combinations with n5 and mmWave. That's in addition to T-Mobile's combos with n71 and n41, in both non-standalone and standalone environment.

- At the same time the Canadian W firmware doesn't support all 5G bands, it completely disables mmWave (n260, n261), which means the US devices with this firmware won't be able to access this super-fast flavor of 5G on any US network. It also doesn't fully support all US 5G non-standalone combinations in FR1 (Sub-6 GHz) range.

Thanks again.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bANONYMOUS:
If you're running a multi csc firmware (the one's linked above) you can change your csc by opening the phone app and dialing *#272*YOUR IMEI NUMBER# and from there you can pick the firmware CSC and carrier CSC to be whatever preinstalled apps you want. The W firmware has all of the preinstalled which is why the file size is larger.

As for the Samsung bloat, they all come with it, but a lot of these should be able to be removed using ADB without root.

There are some ADB scripts around that some skilled people wrote for removing bloat apps in bulk through ADB without root.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Chcolat-tiède:
Thanks for the info I will check.

I have a B/DS version, this manipulation unfortunately does not work on mine :(
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] thecool07:
Hello!

Thank for you posting this @bANONYMOUS. Question if I buy the the U1 model can I flash the W firmware? My father is in Canada and I'm getting an early Bday present for him. Making sure when he gets it, that it will have the correct bands for Rogers!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tjsooley:
Is there any qualcomm firmware that has an FM radio app?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kenchar:
I purchased from the US and flashed the XAC firmware. The final result was XAC/XAC/XAA is that correct? I thought all blocs would be XAC.

Also, I wasn't sure if repartition should be checked or not so I unchecked it.

No VOLTE or WIFI calling on koodo.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mati11233:
I bricked my device today so I'm trying to flash stock OS.

I started flashing it in odin, but it seems it gets stuck on "<ID:0/010> vbmeta.img" for few minutes.

Not sure what is causing it, does anyone have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tjsooley:
Just tried this with u1. Failed each time
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] phucnukem:
I'm trying to flash u1 onto TMB device. Keep getting failing with sha256 is invalid. Is there a modified odin 3.14.4 yet?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tjsooley:
I get this as well
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tjsooley:
I am trying the patched 3.14.1 3b from here now

Download Latest Odin v3.14.1 and v3.14.4 for Windows

Download the latest official Samsung Odin v3.14.1 & v3.14.4 flash tool for Windows to install Samsung firmware (AP, BL, CP, CSC) binaries.

technastic.com

Specifically I used Odin3 3.14.1 3B PatcheD.zip
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tjsooley:
Update

I used home csc and went from Verizon FW to U1 (Newest firmware) all is good.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] krylon27:
I got a VZW S21 ultra and was thinking of doing this. Do all of the Verizon features work, like wifi calling, hd voice, rcs? and unlocked features like caller id, samsung cloud, call and text on other devices?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tjsooley:
Wi-Fi calling in volte work. Samsung caller id it there and I was able to configure it. Cloud was as well. Call and text is and I configured it but my tablet does not support it yet.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] krylon27:
Well, based on what my unlocked note 9 has:

Under the phone app settings there should be a setting for caller id and spam protection

Under system settings in the accounts and backup section there is should be samsung cloud,

Under system settings in the connections section there should be call and messages continuity.

These are all options I have on my unlocked note 9, but not on VZW FW S21 Ultra
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] krylon27:
Thanks dude, I'm downloading now(y)

And home_csc worked fine, going from U to U1 with no need to wipe? You've been a big help
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tjsooley:
Nope no wipe
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] krylon27:
Just posting an update, successfully flashed VZW to U1. I decided to back up using smart switch and wipe the phone just to be on the safe side. I did seem to end up losing HD voice advanced calling, and verizon rcs advanced messaging. No one on my contacts used verizon rcs, so no loss there, and wifi calling is used much more than volte. After restoring there are still some things I have to do again manually, but it is definitely worth it to get calling and texting back on my tab s6, and the caller ID and Samsung cloud is a sweet bonus
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TronVonDoom:
Did upgrading from U to U1 trip your KNOX? I have an AT&T S21 Ultra, and I want to make sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tjsooley:
Did not on mine vzw to u1
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] djlonewolfhd:
Would I lose VoLTE or t-mobile rcs if I flash this? I currently have U and I'm trying to go to U1
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dark11b:
Is it possible to go from U1 to a SM-G9980 firmware? I currently have a us unlocked version but its not able to do carrier aggregation in Aruba. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Slim2none4u:
Quick question. Been away from samsung since the S8(garbage) :)

Should I remove my password and decrypt my phone or anything like that before i flash the U1 firmware?

US Cellular Stock SM-G998U

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] andmiller78:
I am running a TMO sim on an unlocked S21 Ultra. Got the W firmware flashed, but am unable to change CSC to TMO using this method, getting an invalid MMI message when I try. Is there another way to switch CSCs?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tjsooley:
Samsung locks out using of dialer codes on all us firmware and reflashing to a different firmware does not fix the change. I was able to make the change and unlock dialer codes when I switched from Verizon firmware to u1 using this.

https://www.reddit.com/r/verizon/comments/c9tovo
However I tried 4 different windows 10 pc's in the process. It may not matter anyway as US firmware is not multi csc and to my knowledge there is no csc for us carriers on non us firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] y2kdread:
Does wifi calling on AT&T still work on this firmware? How does it impact fimrware upgrades?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Crizzo82:
I am wondering this as well. I'm on att and wanna try this but I don't want to trip Knox and I need wifi calling to work. Can anyone confirm if these are intact after switching to u1?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] gho5t82:
bump.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] y2kdread:
I took the plunge and went ahead and installed it. Wifi calling still does work and it didn't trip knox.

It is so nice not to have any of the ATT crap forced on me!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Crizzo82:
I was about to post this exact reply today. I went ahead and did it too. Wifi calling works, better battery life and no att crap.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] PotatoUCSD:
Thanks for this write-up, but I am unable to execute this on my new ATT SM-G998U. Odin complains that "Complete(Write) operation failed." regardless of the CSC file I choose. I've updated my Samsung drivers, tried adb fastboot (to unlock bootloader, but it doesn't see the device), used 1/2 a dozen USB cables, and retried the instructions countless times. What could be causing this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] gho5t82:
what version of odin are you using?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] PotatoUCSD:
Funny you ask. I was using v3.14.4 as referenced by the OP, but then saw there was a version v3.14.1_3B_PatcheD (modded) that would bypass the stop conditions. It flew through the load and now I plan on doing some cursory tests (stability, security, etc) before I migrate over from my old device. So far the ATT bloat is gone, but still the Samsung stuff is there (didn't think it would be gone, just wishful thinking coming from a Oneplus user and fan of the sleek OS).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] smo02:
I have a TMB version. I am able to flash XAA firmware (G998U1UEU1AUAJ). However, the software update doesn't work. It shows below message.

Couldn't download update

Unable to update the software. A network or server error occurred. Try again later.

Does anyone have this issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] moobieboobie:
I just got my ATT Ultra and and have tried this several times and it failed. I haven't used odin since the S4. Does USB debugging need to be on? The first time SHA failed, restart odin and flash fails. Then it continues to fail after. What else can I do or would a different version of Odin be better? ATT guy, chime in. thx
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] smo02:
It's working today when I tried again.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] smo02:
What's the error? Did you use the patched ODIN? If you can post a screenshot, it will be helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] qoupan:
I just received my S21 Ultra AT&T version but I am using Cricket wireless yesterday. I purchased it from samsung.com with full payment. I know I should buy the unlocked version, but the 256GB one I want is out of stock, so I have to buy the AT&T version. I turned on the phone last night but I did not insert cricket sim card. I updated the system and all softwares. I found there are a lot of AT&T bloatwares, but I do not need them acturally. So I plan to flash it with the XAA firmware. Before I do it, I have following questions:

1. If I flash the AT&T version with XAA firmware, does it also mean I unlock this phone? It could be used under other carriers (T-mobile, verizon and soon)?

2. If the flash does not unlock the phone, how do I unlock it? Ask samsung or AT&T to unlock it?

Thank you so much. Any responses are appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tjsooley:
DONT FLASH ANYTHING YET.

You will need to sim unlock it first.

As you did not get the unlocked version BL unlock will not be possible till after a hack is found.

Go here to sim unlock the phone

Unlock a Phone or Device - AT&T Device Unlock Portal

www.att.com

Select unlock a phone

Then when asked if you a att customer say no.

Enter imei and follow the prompts.

Then check you email ATT will send youa confirmation email you will need to follow the link to confirm within 12 hours

Then att will either remote unlock the device or send you a simcode.

Once your sim works on the phone with no issues then flash xaa
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] qoupan:
Thank you. I'll let AT&T to unlock my phone first.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] brholt6:
Thanks OP! Been out of the game for awhile, but everything went smoothly on my Verizon S21 Ultra. It appears everything is working except for RCS as I'm unable to get chat features in Samsung Messages to appear as an option. It looked like others had this outcome but I didn't see anything related specifically to Samsung Messages. I'm assuming this is Verizon's way of pushing their phone/firmware.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Shuthefrontdoor:
I flashed the u1 firmware on my tmo s21u and all my tmo stuff is gone and I have samsung native spam caller protection but when I check about phone it still shows tmb/tmb/tmb is that normal? I though it would of changed to tmb/xxa/xxa or something of that nature.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] qoupan:
Did you unlock your two phone before you flash u1 xaa firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] jeffsga88:
I have the same issue. I flashed the XAA U1 firmware and it stays on tmb/tmb/tmb. No matter what I've tried, I haven't been able to get that to change to XAA. Phone is unlocked, other sim cards work but the only CSC change that will happen is change from tmb to Sprint when inserting a Sprint sim card in the phone. I've instead a Verizon sim card and it stays tmb, which unfortunately means Verizon bands and CA not working properly. Does anyone have any idea how to properly change the CSC?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] gho5t82:
I flashed from att to xaa and i am trying to get 5g to work but it wont. lol. I had att send me a new 5g sim and they have enabled 5g on their end but its not working for me. Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] LunnBdx:
Hey boys,

Just quick question : is it possible to swap to Exynos CSC (XME, in my case), if we get a Snapdragon variant, after flashing to clean firmware ?

I am currently in Exynos country, and this trusted seller is offering SD888 variants (SM-998U) at lower price than local Exynos.

My plan is to get S21U (I believe it comes with VZN firmware), then flash it with clean de-carriered firmware from OP, then swap this clean firmware to my local CSC. Hence my question above.

I used to do a lot of firmware flash and CSC swaps in the past (Galaxy Note 8 was my last Samsung), but never tried to set a CSC from Exynos region on a phone meant for the Snapdragon market.

Thank you for your help, beautiful people
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] insang-droid:
I keep getting shh256 error,. I tried doing Odin 3.14.1 modified as well and I get sw mismatch the download screen on the phone.. Im on the latest TMB update.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Skander1998:
This is not something you can do - you may not use Exynos CSCs in Snapdragon models.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] FrozenCrunch:
Whoops. Meant to post this here:

Hi there!

I haven't been on XDA in a long time (used to lurk back in the HTC Hero days).

I recently found out that a second-hand 21 Ultra that I bought is actually a VZW branded model, but it is fully unlocked (IMEI has been checked). I have T-Mobile. I've read through the OP and it looks straight forward enough (well written guide, by the way).

Is there anything special I need to do to ensure I get all the T-Mobile features working?

I'm quite comfortable with using Odin, just want to double check if there's any "gotchas" to be aware of.

I have no interest in unlocking my bootloader, just want to be on the official Samsung non-carrier ROM, have all my carrier-based features (wifi calling/RCS) and get my updates straight from Samsung. I should also mention I have a grandfathered T-Mobile plan and I have no account-based restrictions like tethering or anything. It sounds like this will do the trick, but I just want to make sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Chekeleke:

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] daweeze02:
Sorry if this was already answered but I've been out of the flashing game for a few years now.

Quick synopsis

Verizon sim unlocked s21 - switched to tmobile 5g sim

No issues with 5G but is there any benefit to flashing from the U to the U1 firmware in terms of performance besides debloating?

Will going from csc vzw to tmb make any major impacts in terms of signal strength?

If not I see I can flash home csc so I don't have to wipe. I have tons of work software so it would be a major pita to reinstall them all and relogin etc

Reason I ask about the signal is on my moto g old phone I will get band 66 with my tmobile sim card

On my s21 in certain areas I get stuck on band 2 and it forces me to edge

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] idi0tt:
hey folks,

would be great to know if anyone with US/CAN S21U (SM-G998U1/SM-GM998W) have managed to flash to TGY rom, aka SM-G9980.

seems that nobody has tried that yet. I'm no expert, but judging by how both phones are using the Snapdragon processor, I assume there'd be no complications. Only problem for me is that im on rev 4, and TGY latest version is on rev 2. My only option is to flash canadian rom lol

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] crazyut:
If you flash the TMB U series (I go between W, U, and U1 depending on which has latest update and I have Canadian W series hardware), the e-SIM shows up (thought it was greyed out for me to use but Android 12 Beta 2, e-SIM appears to work and be configurable)
