[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] aloxotls:
About to get a new phone and I also have a S7+. Are there any benefits with using a Samsung phone over just any Android device?

I want the Pixel 4a 5g because of the price, but I am already missing the benefit of measuring my blood pressure and EKG with my Samsung watch, because I have a V60 at the moment. That is not that big of a deal but I wanted to know what features I may be missing out on my S7+ by not going with a Samsung phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] blackhawk:
Customization. No other stock phone is as customizable. Hundreds of free icon packs, themes, and the Good Lock family of apps.

Many of the Samsung's have SD card slots. I won't buy a phone with no SD card slot as I use it as a data drive.

Note 10+

There are quite a few advantages, all of which I use daily and although they are mainly simple things that you could probably work around, I couldn't see myself switching to another phone and losing those features now that I have them.

1. Call and text sharing, so if a call or text comes in on my phone I can answer it on my tablet.

2. Seamless audio switching with my Buds+, if I'm listening to something on my phone, then switch to watching something on my tablet the Buds+ will auto switch device. Also, if I'm watching something on my tablet and a call comes in on my phone, the Buds+ will switch to the phone.

3. Auto data tethering. Your phone will always appear at the top of the WiFi menu on your tablet and you can start tethering data without having to first enable it on the phone.

4. App sync, I don't use this one that much as right now I think it only works with Samsung Notes and Samsung Internet but if I write a note on my tablet and then open the multitasking menu on my phone there will be a button to open Samsung Notes on the phone just as I had left it on the tablet.

5. You can use the tablet keyboard to type on the phone. Just press a button on the tablet keyboard and it switches to typing on the phone, handy for replying to WhatsApp messages without having to pick up the phone.

There are probably some more features, but these are the ones that I use.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] aloxotls:
Thank you for your reply, that helps a lot! Probably go with the S21 5g then. I have everything else Samsung (TV, tablet, watch, earbuds, SmartThings WiFi) might as well get their phone too along with a Samsung fan boy t-shirt!
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 / S7 Plus Questions & Answer] blackhawk:
On the screen shot on the right/left sides you'll notice the light strips. They can be may any size, color or transparency including invisible. That's the app One Hand Operation + which is a very cool app that can be used to toggle on many different apps/services, gesture navigation and more.

Nests well in the curve of the screen. The Digi Clock Widget also has 4 switch quadrants that I use... hidden switches everywhere. They allow for a very clean but highly functional/stable home screen. Very low battery usage as well.

The Buds couple fast with Samsung phones plus you can use the proprietary SSC codec. The Buds + are a definite sound upgrade from the Buds. Not sure about the Buds Pro, there could fit issues; the Buds and Buds+ are dimensions/fit identical but that was change with the Pro model.

Hello, I have a LENOVO TA4 10 PLUS tablet, TB-X704L, I HAVE INSTALLED THE ROM Lineage OS 17.1 and everything went fine according to the tutorial I saw. The issue is that after having this rom I did not like what I had and reloaded the original rom of the tablet, but when loading the system it keeps restarting and does not go beyond the initial configuration, it always restarts. It also does not allow me to reload Lineage OS 17.1 because the bootloader is locked, and I cannot activate the developer options because it does not load the system. is there any way to go back to the stock rom or unlock the bootloader without having to activate developer options.

help....

[LG V60 ThinQ Guides, News, & Discussion] draexo:
Updated to Android 11. I did the Factory Data Reset, as directed by LG and it solved some problems I was having. When I went to set up Android Auto, it asked me what type of connection I wanted and due to screen lag, I accidentally hit "charging mode" only.

Anyone know where to change this? The only place I see is in developers options

Settings > System > Developer options > Select USB Configuration.

When I select it, the options pop up onto the screen for like 1/2 second, and then disappear before I am able to change anything.

Any suggestions besides doing another FDR?

Hello. The tablet was working properly. I got a message that I want to update something. I let it, although I did not read it well, but it seems that there was something from TWRP words. The tablet was restarted. Now only TWRP is running over and over again and there is a message as in the title. Restoring the system from an sd card backup does not help. Although there is an inscription that the system has been restored. Someone can say if I can do something because the tablet has become a brick ...: /

I have a custom device with firmware created by the manufacturer of said device. It is running Android 7.1.1. It runs a custom app which is the only thing that runs (end user can only see our app). The device ran fine for a couple of months and now when booting up it won't go past the boot logo. I have attached the logcat error below as a reply to this post (was going to post the whole logcat, but it was too long, so posted from the beginning of the crash to a good ways below it) but the main part of the crash points to a null reference pointer in zygote (best i can discern), but i do not know how to determine the root cause of this. Any ideas? Of either what the cause is, or better yet how to track it down?

Small addendum, I could try to re-flash it to fix the issue, but I am more concerned with determining the cause that fixing it so I can determine if it is an issue I am going to encounter with our other devices or was a one off issue.

Is there a particular reason why you're not updating to Android Q? This looks like a segmentation error, which is pretty much common among Android 7 devices. Maybe you should consider upgrading or downgrading your Android version to see if it helps.

You are writing to P9 (EVA) forum, not to P9 Lite (VNS).

Every time I close and reopen Copilot I lose all my favourites. Not rebooting or anything, just closing the app, then when I try to use it a few days later all my faves are gone :mad:

So...O2 don't want to know, they don't support Copilot.

ALK support tell me to make sure my card isn't write protected...but its Micro SD and has no 'write protection' tab as far as I can make out :confused:

Anyone else with this problem, or a fix?
[General Topics] theblitz707:
Today i was measuring s21 brightness in the store and was shocked i was getting 850lux readings (from s10+ sensor) meanwhile 12 pro max was showing 780 lux. I wanted to compare two phones next to eachother but guy says they cannot take the phones away from the table. Though, super lucky, the guy himself owned an s21(this is not a samsung store in case you missed) and lets me compare them side by side. I compare and s21 is noticably dimmer, very close to my s10+. Now im confused, i got brighter readings then why?

So i took his phone to the store s21 and there was a huge brightness difference. We updated both s21's and after letting them cool down (cuz they dim when hot) the results were still same. His s21 was nowhere near store s21's brightness. His s21 gave about 500lux reading meanwhile store one gave 850.

Take the numbers with a grain of salt since the sensor is s10+ and brightness reading changes depending on if you hold the measured device diagonal or straight.

But turns out review sites arent wrong. S21s manual brightness is rated at 400 nits which explains why its so close to my s10+(310) and so far from 12 pro max.(800) Meanwhile store s21 shows 800nits manually.

So if you were to buy it, you only get 400 nits manually. I suppose its a trick to make you believe the screen is super bright but its only in the store.

By enabling video enhancher and opening up youtube, guys s21 also goes up to 800nits, but only in that youtube app and video player (maybe one more thing i forgot too) Keep that in mind if you are shopping for a s21.

Edit: (in case you are curious, store s21 showed 800nits whetever auto brightness was on or off)

Firmware.
[General Topics] theblitz707:
We updated both phones to latest if thats what you mean.

But i saw a "display mode"( i am from turkey so dont know exact translation) in store s21 which said stuff like " dont turn this on/off if you arent autohorized. It does stuff like reset the phone regularly" and some bunch of other stuff. It wasnt written there but i suppose this brightness boost comes from that "display mode" or "exhibition mode"
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Maybe another one of tricks in the Samsung bag of marketing tricks that they are notorious for.

Operating at or near full brightness with a OLED display is never a good idea though.

You can kill them fast like this especially in direct sunlight.

It's not just the OLEDs in the display, there are thousands of mosfets in there too and very little heat sinking capacity for all of them. The brighter it is, the more heat the display needs to dissipate.

A lot of that heat is dissipated through the front of display it's self.
[General Topics] theblitz707:
Yea but moderation is key. Not like we will use max all the time, but being able to go max whenever we desire is a good experience. Much better than feeling like your display could do better.(know from my s10+)

I think heat isnt much of a concern either since all displays dim when phone reaches a certain temeperature, automatically.

Besides, subpixels wont be max intensity all the time when watching vids or playing games so its not that bad.

As long as you dont blast max brightness 7/24 it should be fine imo :)
[General Topics] blackhawk:
High energy blue OLEDs fail first... there already been people reporting "burn in" with OLED displays.

They have a finite lifespan; the brightest stars burn the shortest.

As for thermal throttling, sometimes it works other times things get cooked.
[General Topics] theblitz707:
Burn in could be a display lottery i guess. Of course oleds are very susceptible to it but i think it happening in 1-2 years is too fast unless like, someone uses it at max brightness for few hours every day with white navigation showing(very static). I guess ill have to see how my s10+ fares, so far no issues kind of a heavy user here.

I'm planning to downgrade too to activate samsung pay somehow. (EU region) I'll keep searching to see what can be done.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] salwan.hemant:
As per my understanding, I have to follow these steps:

1. Flash combinational firmware

2. Change CSC using SDB commands

3. Flash stock firmware

4. Install samsung pay

5. Repeat steps 1-3 to change CSC back to the original so that i retain mobile connectivity

@galaxys I have the same watch model but with Tizen 5.5. Would the same old firmware work with my watch also?

Hi, I don't think it would work with Tizen 5.5 but haven't heard of anyone trying it....
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] salwan.hemant:
Thanks for your early reply otherwise i was thinking of giving it a try.

BTW i found that dialing *#272*IMEI# also change the CSC but did not try because people here are going for flashing firmware due to some reason only. Do you know why shouldn't it work on galaxy watch?

It may be a Samsung thing for not working, but haven't played with changing CSC...

Hello,

I'm trying to help my little sister with her phone, she has a Xiaomi REDMI Note 8 PRO with a stock rom, never flashed.

A few days ago her phone shut down for no reason with the battery at 80%, and now there is a boot loop :/

Can you help me ?

Do you have any ideas to solve this problem ?

But I think it is impossible to connect the phone to a computer because it instantly buckles...
[Redmi Note 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Nameless Foe:
1. You need to download the adb fasrboot drivers and Android platform tolls on your pc if you haven't done this already

2. Download latest STABLE MIUI Fastboot ROM for REDMI 8 PRO

3. Once you download this file. You will need to extract the boot.img, vendor.img, cust.img, and recovery.img...

You will need to reset the phone before flashing these files via fastboot
