I have two devices, the phone im currently using which is my primary WhatsApp device and an older device which hasn't connected to the internet for nearly 2 years and has the older version of WhatsApp in it with chats from 2 years ago. Is there any way I can merge these older chats into the WhatsApp of my current phone. I really want to switch on the internet in my older device but I'm too scared if the new chat would load resetting the older chats or something like that :(

Thanks!

Would it work if I have overlapping chat histories between both the devices??
[General Questions and Answers] AceNik:
Save all backups first

Doesn't hurt to give the merge and try that once to then see the same

If it doesn't work out restore to an old working backup

Hello:

I don't understand why My phone does not recognize my Micro SD Card. It has been like that since I bought it four years ago. It didn't work with the SD Card that came with the phone, and even when I bought another one it still didn't work. On the contrary, the card is recognizable by my computer, and when I inserted it in to the phone, using a card reader, it was recognized. But when I put it back in to the SD slot on top of the first SIM slot, it doesn't get recognized.

Please what can be done about this problem. My phone storage is already full. It is just 8GB.

Thanks for your anticipated help.

Hello:

I've gone through the article you referred me to. The SD card is recognizable on the computer as I did inform you in that post, so I tried reformatting the card.

But when I visited the link on formatting the SD card, I got this message: You don't have permission to access /EN/Fat32Formatter/ on this server.

So, what else can I do.

[General Questions and Answers] kobisko:
Hello again:

I've formatted my micro SD card with the link you gave me, but the card is still unrecognizable or undetected by the phone. I remember I did the formatting about a year ago.

I am convinced that the problem is a hard ware one, considering the fact that the card can be detected by another phone and the computer. It was detected on my phone when I inserted it in to a card reader and plugged it in to my phone with the OTG cable. But when I put it back in to the SD card slot, it was not detected.

So, the question now is: what can I do now? how can I increase the storage of my phone. My phone internal storage is now full, and I cannot delete any apps.

What other methods can I try out. Or is there a way of fixing the micro SD slot?

The phone came that way. I didn't care to check the SD card slot before the warranty expired.
[General Questions and Answers] ineedroot69:
have you tried going on your Phone setting and searching for the word "SD"

that would show SD card size and option to format it and such

or perhaps have you tried insert other SD card or SD card socket itself has issue?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Inspect the SD bay contacts. Clean card contacts with isopropyl alcohol/cloth and don't touch them with your fingers.

Make sure it's properly seating in the phone.

Try a hard reboot the phone with the card in it.

Try another card.

Whatever app the device uses for storage control check there to see your options.

In the 10+ it's under Device Care>storage>SD card page 3 dots upper right corner.

If it gives you the option to format it, do so. You will lose any data on the card but it should functional then.

It's best to format the card in the device first before using it.

Hi all,

I'm looking for some battery testing software as I need to grab logs for a range of PPC/W5/W6 devices, I'm after basically battery status reading every 30 mins. I need to be able to get the data from 100% to 0% and the time.

Preferably this would work externally via a usb to a PC as the devices come installed with our own proprietry system that restricts some of the functions that come as standard.

If anyone has any suggestions I'd be very grateful.

Many thanks

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] Sateza:
Hi, I've been solving photography problems since the Galaxy S10 series. And the Galaxy S21 I bought now has the same problems. The point is that people will be deformed when taking pictures. It is most visible about the faces, which are then elongated and variously constricted. It amazes me that no one has mentioned it anywhere in the reviews yet.

I've already asked about some discussions, but people are just cursing me that I can't take pictures. However, others who have noticed are joining my opinion.

Is this problem known at least here on XDA or is no one noticing ?! And if so, what can be done about it? Use another photo application or solve it differently? Allegedly, this is because a 26mm focus is used and Samsung then destroys it by postprocessing. Many thanks for the reply! If that doesn't change or no one advises, I'll have to return the Galaxy S21 and stay with the iPhone 12 Pro, which I wouldn't like because Android is closer to me.

Hey all,

I have DCD 3.2.6, Radio 3.42.50, PRI 1.35_002 and aside from aGPS never working for me, everything appears normal. The only issue is that whenever I exit out of any application the phone defaults back to the dialer tab. I don't have any custom dialers installed, just the stock dialer tab in DCD 3.2.6. Anyone else seeing this and if so have you found a workaround?

Hi,

What is the equivalent of a driver for Android?

And can eg. the "driver" for eg. different cameras be installed on the same phone, where the phone is not negatively affected by it?
[General Questions and Answers] :
In Android device drivers are implemented as kernel modules ( module.ko ). These by default are located in /system/lib/modules. AFAIK you can add as many kernel modules as you want.

Because a driver is only a piece of software, what is loaded and run by the device that requires it, it doesn't produce conflicts, IMO.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] HLyons:
I tried 2 before reading reviews....they make the fingerprint scanner almost useless. I tried looking up reviews of other alternatives and they all aren't great.

Even the more expensive choices. I'm now looking at full case (aka front and back covers) choices. I have typically hated them (like the Otterbox, etc). Anyone know of a full body case that doesn't add a ton of size to the phone.

I tried one of those ebay glass front/back cases and I love it but once you dropped the case it pretty much was useless (either glass screen cracked or they case never stayed together after a significant drop...magnets are what held the 2 examples I tried....clearly the quality was hit or miss).

Am I just being picky? I'm either looking looking a full body case that's mostly clear and doesn't a ton of size or a glass screen protector that actually works with the fingerprint scanner.

Never had this many issues trying to get something that works consistently.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] joancolmenares:
When I had my note 20 ultra I bought tempered glass for it and I basically had to turn on increased touch sensitivity, and delete and readd all fingerprints and it kinda worked but was annoying as hell..

I then changed (and I use also for my s21 ultra) something called hydrogel which is not hard as temperedglass or ceramic shield, but it does a hell of a job protecting the screen AND doesn't affect fingerprints, I actually hit the screen against a table corner and nothing happened...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] HLyons:
I'll check out hydrogen. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sonin66:
There are a few post already talking about glass screen protectors. White stone dome and amfilm seem to be good competitors. I have whitestone and love the feel. As far as a clear case, my wife has Speigen hybrid with a clear back but it will def scratch because it's plastic. I wanted to try your glass case but I knew better that it would crack or break when dropped
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] LucoBuck:
I've got the Whitestone Dome Glass and the fingerprint reader works fine. Don't forget to remove the factory-installed screen protector first. I forgot that the first time, and that screwed with the fingerprint reader.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] whitehawk66:
I also use the Spigen Neo-Hybrid screen protector. It's clear, good quality and works just fine. I think the finger print sensor issues are more about Samsung's continued failure in this arena rather it being a screen protector issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lordandroid:
Same I also have the WSD glass protector and I love it I haven't had any finger print sensor issues. Been using 3 weeks now
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kipue:
That's good to know. I plan to get one, and there are quite a few people reporting that even Whitestone glass would make the finger print scanner work less well...

I think maybe it's due to improper installation steps
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sonin66:
There was a time whitestone didn't work for me when I got my s10 plus. Bought it from samsung along with a whitestone from Amazon. Back when you had to tilt the tray and pull tab to drop the protector on. It went perfect 3 times I did it but the fingerprint scanner would barely recognize my print, had to go with a zagg. I don't know what the difference with their glass now, but my finger print is reading. I did hold down 30 secs after the initial 15 secs to cure it, but I didn't do it on my wife's and hers is working also. I also put my print scan more than once just so I wouldn't have a prob but it works unless my hands are dry
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] BlaaaaazedUp:
Are y'all remembering to delete and re-add your fingerprints after you put your protector on?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Batfink33:
I don't know what's happened to Whitestone because I had it on my S8plus and it was great but the s21u one is trash. The first of the two I had chipped in the corner (no idea how) and when I tried to take it off it was stuck to the screen and was a nightmare to take off, I had to use a hairdryer and slowly pick it off. I put a new one on last Friday and now this one has chipped. I haven't dropped it or anything, it's almost like the glass is so thin it's crumbled away. The quality has gone downhill and the glass seems so thin now it's just not lasting long.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] s3axel:
Maybe they are trying to get it as thin as possible to facilitate solid response of the FP sensor, thus the thin glass.... Just a thought, no excuse :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Batfink33:
It's not that great the FP sensor either. I'd say it works about 30% of the time. It's a real disappointment overall and I paid a heck of a lot for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Bsball721:
I had one of these on my s10+. It felt great and looked beautiful, but the finger on another thread here a discount for amfilm.

I used one of these on my s10+ and it felt great and looked beautiful. The FP sensor only worked 20% of the time, but ultimately I hardly needed to use it. I found a discount code on another thread. There were actually 2 codes, 1 for 30% off and another for 20% off the amfilm tempered glass. Amazon also had a $2 off coupon. It took it from $40 20 $17.99. For that price I will do it and try putting pressure on it after the initial uv.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bligui:
Has anyone tried the new one from Spigen the Platinum?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] kipue:
I think I saw a video, where it shows that AM film actually gives a little metal weight to place over the FP sensor when using the UV to put a bit of pressure on that point.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] felloffthetruck:
My Whitestone Dome is working just fine. Not 100% perfect but pretty close.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] superdan2481:
I love the amfilm one! A little bit more pricey than I'm used to paying, but it's 39.99 for 2 tempered glass screens and a UV light that works awesome. Only after effects was some of the liquid you use to cure the screen kinda didn't fully cure on the edges so a little bit liquid. That you could just wipe off, but other than that I love it and it works great!. Honestly tho my fingerprints are crap because I work in the field alot. But when my fingerprints are clean and warm lol it works great!

*Zagg* There glassfusion is great as that was the only glass like protector I could get for my s10+ since whitestone didn't work. But honestly this time around, for the price it cost, you might as well go with real glass. Btw the glassfusion is still a plastic protector

Hello everyone

Here is new method to root all Samsung devices,twrp not needed.

First you need to download EFTSU tool: https://mega.nz/file/34lDEBqB#7mSv2SeYKP2kReheBk7q5AU582TZUdsJy6GL5sd7O-I

Then you need file from this website where you can find for your device and download it : https://eftsu.com/

After you downloaded this file put your samsung device in download mode *need oem unlock* then flash your file with eftsu tool.

Your device will reboot it and it will during boot ask to reset ,then reset it.

When it comes to system you need to download and install eftsu manager: https://mega.nz/file/Oo1yCSiQ#rWlMbcBiBHSzv5oMioyGxQZ0ynxqaeqz_Nfm4ze240c

And you are done.

You can also install root checker to see if it rooted.

below this sentence another statement with exclamation appears "The phone is not running Samsung's official software. you may have problems with this features or security, and you won't be able to install software updates.

then there is an option at the bottom to "press power key to continue". so i press it then boots up to samsung UI. and when i checked it with root checker it says "root not properly installed in this device." if i will reroot it again using eftsu for the second time with the same procedure will it not harm more on the program of this phone? or it will just overwrite the previously installed root.
