[Samsung Galaxy S21+] ffp.:
Hi, i just updated my S21+ Exynos to android 12. It's rooted with magisk and just installed the last TWRP.

But I'm gettin 255 error when trying to backup data. I've been told that TWRP can't backup android 12 data, is that true? There is any workaround? And any hope for this to be fixed?
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] afaneh92:
Try to check recovery log and delete the folders causing the error
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] ffp.:
I did that, it was a dalvick-cache folder. I moved it. But then the backup failed again because another completely different folder...
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] afaneh92:
Yes need to remove it as well
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] ffp.:
How can i know they aren't important? Is this Twrp unable to decrypt android 12 encryption true? And what if I get another error with another folder?
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] afaneh92:
The folder will be generated again, twrp cant handle some 12 permissions thats why it fail.
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] ffp.:
Ok, gonna try to delete all of them and I'll post the result.

Also, where are phone settings like, ringtones, alarms, screen timeout, gestures, all of those settings that aren't related to apps, stored? In data?

What partitions should I backup to get my phone exactly as it was?
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] afaneh92:
Super, prism optics, boot and data
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] ffp.:
Hey, deleting the other folder that was giving the 255 error worked. The backup was made. I dind't tested it to know if it works, but completed without error. Thanks for your help!

Now, what is prism optics?
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] BlueBoo:
Anyone had issue with TWRP bootlooping? I had followed the steps and got to step 5, but was unable to get into TWRP as my phone would get stuck trying to load it as the TWRP splashscreen constantly flickers on and off. Tried to go into download mode through adb and button combo but both lead to the same screen.
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] Wl40WaBL9hQcjo:
How did you solve this?

I made a mistake during the Odin flash by replacing the TWRP with a patced AP file in the AP slot.

I'm now in a constant boot loop, with no d/l mode or recovery....:(

I previously had TWRP 3.6 with lineageos 19 GSI, and just wanted to upgrade the TWRP version.
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] afaneh92:
force reboot to download mode, connect usb to pc and press both volume buttons and flash latest twrp 3.6.X
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] Wl40WaBL9hQcjo:
Thanks! you really saved me there!!

I completely forgot about this combo in this model, and let me blame it on playing around with various models, all with their own set.

Yes, direct d/l mode with +- and usb cable worked perfectly and I could flash the latest TWRP.
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] K_a_m_i:
Thank you! Works perfect on S21+ (SM-G996B/DS).

[General Questions and Answers] SoundDrout:
Hi, I'm posting an answer.

So, if you want to lock the bootloader back you need to do the same steps you did when unlocking it.

Here is how I did it on my device:

1. Booted to recovery

2. Reboot to bootloader

3. Held "Volume Up" (ignore that it says "unlocks bootloader")

4. Pressed "Volume Up"

5. Rebooted device

WARNING!: Locking or unlocking the bootloader THIS WAY will delete all your data (photos, videos, apps, contacts, etc)!

[Android Head-Units] cbelldina:
Hello:

Since day one of installing this radio - it's had an odd crash issue.

While I don't drive it every day - it seems to "crash" and go dark (back light seems to be on...) and loss of ALL HVAC controls. As this radio replaced any physical buttons.

Sony Sync 3 brain seems untouched and can be accessed via the secondary dash screen. Sync nav works too.

Seems to happen approx every 90 minutes - almost like clock work - I can tell as my commute is routine - and it crashes approx the same location in my commute.

Sony Sync 3 seems untouched - which makes sense - but the screen is unresponsive - but backlight can be seen bleeding through.

RESET pin hole has NEVER responded - 20 seconds, 5 seconds, 40 seconds - it does nothing.

The only way to get the screen to recover - is to power off the vehicle - exit (to make sure power is off) and let it sit 15min.

90min later - it does it again.

FACTORY reset has never worked - it just reboots. a Few times it rebooted and never came back on - basically a crash like about - had to follow same routine to get it back.

Many different MCU updates tried.

Mainly use CarPlay - but switch to the Sync 3 screen at times to run some settings.

ALL HVAC settings are unavailable - seat warmers, coolers, everything. As this unit replaces physical buttons of the Stock SONY Sync 3

Vehicle is a hybrid - but each time this happened - vehicle was under highway load - using engine power - not EV.

User settings do not indicate any "sleep mode" options - screen keep alive - not lock are set correctly. Phoenix verified this.

Thoughts?

UPDATE 03/03/2021 - Chris had me Format the unit - Android 9 - reconfigure everything again - basically Factory fresh. The problem repeated itself again, in the same time and manner. Stumped.

Exchange (and security deposit for this) has been requested - but I'm not convinced that will work.

is there a way to view event logs? sys logs?

I have 2 other Android head units (non Phoenix) - and never had soooo many issues.

Thoughts? Most recent MCU version info attached - this was updated 24 hours ago - nothing changed.

[HTC Tornado] illi:
@BD

Congrats! Good release. My comments: you should remove the *DIGI.ttf. It display in digital font only on some screens. Some screens display in Sogoe font. I feel the joypad is not as responsive. Some of your sound files does not emit any sound too. And the short-cut keys...

BTW can you highlight what new features in this ROM.

Keep up the good work.
[HTC Tornado] Blackdragon_860:
So People,

something must be cleare..

Nobody release a new rom with my xip and sys before i have finished my work. I have worked a lot for poting the xip and sys and i am the first that have do that.

I must also learning a lot, thats the reason why i dont have locked my rom. i would that everyone can test dumping the rom for giving me advices.

So befor someone release i rom, i would finishing my work. then everyone can do what he would.

So please, explain me how i can solve the problems and give me advices.

Else in future i dont release any xip and sys more or i protected my roms.

greets

then iv got a dll that fixes the windows media blacklight and iv got the cpr wich makes the homescreen to slim bars iv allso go ther htc bootscreen

so if u what me to post these files just let me know
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
I think this could be fixed, someone posted the registry changes, perhaps should be implemented in the next release

It is necessary to add following records in the registry:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BBD42F74-4AC3-44c9-867B-8352F79D21B1}]

@="GPRS Authentication"

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{BBD42F74-4AC3-44c9-867B-8352F79D21B1}\InprocServer32]

@="Authentication.dll"

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\PhoneExtendFunction]

"CBSTName"=dword:00000000
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
The font on the home screen seems a little different than all other ROM that we have used so far, could it be change to the 'actual' one?

Should be Segoe or something

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Elixir_:
Hey guys,

So a month after the launch of the Galaxy S21 Ultra, what is your battery life experience? Give us your feedback and numbers.

Please mention your chipset (Exynos or Snapdragon) and post a screenshot if possible.

Personally, I'm pretty satisfied with battery life. I usually get a day and a half with around 9h of SOT. I have the Exynos model and my screen is set to 1080p with standard motion smoothness. Bluetooth is always on and I use 4G most of the time. All other settings are set to default.

View attachment 5238697
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] AlexMullerSA:
How is you Phone radio usage so low. Mine is always way higher. Does that mean the signal is bad??
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mtm1401:
Can't complain, I get around 5 hours SOT a day with 30 to 40% left in the tank.

That said, I am stuck at home all day on WiFi, so sure that will decrease when I'm out and about with location on and 4g/5g but still pretty decent.

Exynos, QHD, 120hz, active 2 connected all day, some debloating and Bixby routines to switch to 60hz for some apps, turn off location/NFC/4g at home and sync/AOD on when charging

View attachment 5238907
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] :
Standby for me has been amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Elixir_:
I think bad signal is definitely a factor. In my case, I stay at home most of the time (remote work) or at the office and in both locations I have a very good signal. Also my carrier doesn't support 5G yet, only 4G.

Ikr, even with Bluetooth on, I lose barely 3% at night.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] :
Still on 91% 😂 I've been playing on my iPad all day so barely touched phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nightoooo:
Had Exynos S21 Ultra that i didn't like the battery life of it. I had barley 4h of SoT.

I send it back to Samsung and got a Snapdragon HK version and i am getting 4.5h with the second full charging. I hope it gets better in a week or two.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Goku1992:
Best battery life phone ive ever had...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Elixir_:
Those are excellent numbers!

What's your screen resolution/refresh rate ? I assume you have the Exynos model since you're in Europe?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
Exynos? 60hz?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Goku1992:
Yes :) and wqhd cause full hd uses the same... But im using dark mode Samsung Internet and dont game :) also debloated
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
What did you debloat? I get 2 days usage with 6+ hours sot and 120hz.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Khalid Madkour:
It will get better. I was like you.

Then I reset my phone and didn't use smart switch and after couple of days I am getting now around 1h SOT per 10% with bluetooth and 4d enabled. Full resolution and adaptive framerate and sometimes I switch to 96.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Goku1992:
I can post my list next time when im home :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] thegameksk:
Please post the debloat list when you get the chance. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Yes. Same here.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Veestaai:
In Iphones, it stays at 100% for good 10-15mins just to give an illusion of great battery life.

It is normal for battery to drop to 99% without doing anything because it is not good for the battery to stay at 100%.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
100% isn't fully loaded actually. Just google it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] atcndw:
So so...I think it should be better, this screenshot I used 10 hours on mobile data and the rest connected on wifi

And used tidal with tws earbuds
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Yes... does look like a little below average.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Quazza:
Yeah all pretty similar really (I don't use Chrome )
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] BaltazarIX:
I'd say decent SOT for 2d 19h since last charging. Very mixed usage, mostly on Wi-Fi
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] J.2.J:
I have the Exynos version and after the May update my battery life went to ****. After reading this thread some users suggested clearing the cache so I figured out how to do that and while I was in recovery did an app repair as well. Now my battery life has gone back to being absolutely excellent 👌🏽 standby battery performance has also improved. I'm happy that I didn't need to reset my phone.

I noticed some users setup via smart switch, but I didn't. I used the Google backup feature from previous Android phone
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] tfn:
From the Time the S21 Ultra came out, most people who had done smartswitch had issues.

I always start from scratch and like me who started from scratch seemed better off.

I have got anything between 6-9 hours SOT depending on Usage.

I do play COD and all my settings are on adaptive.

Also use 5g, Bluetooth On 120hz and wqhd.

Having swaped my 4g sim to 5g I haven't seen much decrease in battery life.

Since the May update though I feel the SOT is more on the lower side 5-7 hours although my battery seems to have stayed the same as before.

So I am not sure if samsung has changed the way their are monitoring SOT.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] matty100147:
Thanks for the info as this appears to have worked for me as well, ive went from losing around 2.8% an hour to 0.6% by doing what you've said
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Da1e7150:
How do you do the app repair?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Security555:
Very funny thread,

some people are new to such communities and truly believe in a objective nature and honest intentions.

This thread is about confirmation bias,

furthermore the worst one's experience with the phone the more one is trying to convince oneself using you, the readers,

by deeming the screen, and letting the screen show just a black browser page or same within an app,

constantly killing all the processes,

and during the night switching the airplane mode on.

A lot of us including myself did it back in 2014 or 15 with a faulty by design HTC M9.

If you read through the old HTC M9 thread with all the screenshots with unrealistic SOTs you will experience déjà vu.

Thanks to the nature of this thread,

one can make a conclusion that people are totally disappointed with the s21 ultra's battery life.

I sold my S21U on exynos among other things because of unacceptable battery life, but I'm on the verge to make my next move I certainly will regret.

I'm gonna try the Snapdragon version from HK. Lol

Samsung's software is such a crap, that

probably even a plutonium reactor will not being able to solve all the conflicting issues triggering the battery drain.

How do I know what an excellent battery life looks like.

I'm coming from Huawei, because it accidentally dropped out of my pocket, and went all the way down the stairs, the glass is a little shattered in the upper corner, and a new Huawei will stick with Android 10 forever.
