[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dscline:
I also have it. Back in the day I had the original Note, then the Note 3, and ultimately never really used the S pen a lot, so my next phone didn't have it. I decided to try it out again and got the pen/case combo. So far, again, I haven't used it much. I do have a Spigen Liquid Air case I can switch to if I find I NEVER use the pen, but for now I'm sticking with the case+pen to keep it handy to give me a chance to find a use for it. The extra width doesn't really bother me (previous phone was an S20U).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] joancolmenares:
I have it and love it.. Good protection, no extra weight basically. If you have a pet, hair tends to stick to the back of the case. Once you put it on, you will notice how the left side is thicker than the right side due to the s pen, but the feeling of the case being uneven on the sides goes away rather quickly. If you use the spen a lot, then I recommend this case.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zidane02:
I have it, but the s-view cover. It's just the silicon case + spen but with the flip. I love it so much, it protects your screen pretty well. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] papashex:
I have the silicone case with pen. For me it proves the need to keep the pan silo in the phone.

Consider that the phone is designed to hold in left hand (since most of the planet is right handed). Clipping the pen on the left edge makes for difficult removal. My pen and case sit on the desk unused for this reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KrackerJak13:
I am using the spigen S-pen case and have no problems case was cheaper then the combo from samsung and I like it better. Highly recommend it
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njg:
Hi Folks,

I have been using a Samsung Galaxy Tab A 10.1 (SM-T515) to connect with an elderly relative. I have Teamviewer Host installed for remote access and Skype set to auto-answer. It was all working fine until the tablet was stupidly upgraded to Android 10. Now Skype will only auto-answer if the app is open and in the foreground. Otherwise, it just shows up with the normal notification of an incoming call. As for Teamviewer it mostly now connects with a back screen.

I then purchased a new Tablet, Samsung TAB A7 10.4 (SM-T505) to set up at home and swap with the other one. However, I get the same issues. I've been on to both Samsung and Skype help both in terms of the community and company support. Skype at least seem to be trying to find out what the issue is. Samsung just gives and blames Skype/Teamviewer. There was a post in the Samsung community of someone else with a similar Teamviewer issue on a Tab A 8.4 which was resolved by an update with the Feb security fix. The TAB A7 I have has the December security update. Although I can't find any reference to the issue with skype auto answering as most of the posts are about trying to stop it doing that.

Before I go and try and get a non-Samsung tablet I just wanted to check if this was a wider issue or just with these Samsung Android 10 devices. While it is obviously getting expensive in useless tablets the bigger issue is restoring a simple connection with my relative during this time so any and all help or advice would be most graciously received.

[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drunk'N'Serious:
Similar issue here,

Cannot remote view Samsung a7 tab if it locks

Tried to set up the pin and password in team viewer yet all I get is a blank screen until I unlock at the source

I assume Skype cannot auto answer until it is unlocked... have you tried this then called the device? If it works then samsung security is the issue

If we can set these apps as device administrators (like with antivirus) it may fix this, but Samsung doesn't allow us to set them. Possibly rooting would fix this problem?

Custom OS otherwise, take Samsung software out of the equation without needing to buy another tab
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] njg:
Hi There,

Thanks for your response. Ultimately the Teamviewer issue seemed to be sorted by an update. Strangely it would work in portrait mode but not in landscape (or the other way round). I turned off the screen lock so maybe that is why it worked for me.

However, after some back and forth with Microsoft Skype support they have acknowledged that this is now a known issue is a known problem with Skype on Android 11. I have since found out that the windows desktop version of skype also has the same problem. They said they are working on it but who knows. Have to say the skype support was at least pretty responsive and kept me informed through the process. Which was positive but ultimately they didn't resolve the issue.

[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] nanowinner:
Hello,

Today I noticed my phone had died earlier than usual, so I went to plug it in and charge it.

The green bolt and circle appear to let me know a charge is commencing. That was followed by the unexpected disappearance of that screen and the Huawei logo and "Powered by Android" text appearing. Not a usual procedure. Usually, the phone would show a percentage and a circle forming around it as the charge grows.

The moment I unplug the phone, it instantaneously dies. There is no perceptible delay. Thus, I can only attempt to enter recovery mode or fastboot mode when connected to a power source. It does not seem to make a difference if the power source is a regular PC 5V USB port, a charging port or the original AC adapter and cable. The only perceptible difference is that whenever it shows the Huawei logo, it reboots quicker if connected to PC.

If left alone for an hour+ the phone does not go out of this boot loop state. I have tried holding the power button, holding the power button and volume up procedure and holding the power button and volume down procedure.

The only reaction I get is when plugged to PC and trying to enter fastboot. It briefly flashes a screen that one cannot read for the milliseconds it is shown: View attachment 5237099

The black you see above is an artifact from a video recording I did, from which I took out this frame. To the human eye, the entire screen seems to light up and go out immediately after.

Here is a video of how the phone acts if I hold down only the volume down button while connected to the PC via USB. The second item in the post is the screenshot of what is visible for a few milliseconds:

I cannot attach the video.
[Huawei P20 Pro Questions & Answers] Sunthor:
Hello,

I had exactly the same issue, after trying everything i could i replaced the battery with a new one and my problem solved. You can try if it works for you too the battery is cheap i got and for under 10$.

To change the battery is a bit tricky i managed to unglue the battery from screen without breaking it but i can't tell the same for the back cover which i cracked it while trying to remove it.
[HTC Tornado] kentchristopher:
I'm guessing others have suffered from annoying, unresponsive joystick problems as much as I have. I read elsewhere online about using a drop of WD-40 lubricant on the joystick to solve the problem. I just wanted to let others here know that I tried this, and while at first it seemed like it didn't help or perhaps even made the problem worse, I've noticed that now my joystick responds *perfectly* - perhaps even better than when I first got it (I bought mine used).

I used these instructions to disassemble my SDA. I used the T6 Torx screwdriver included in this kit found at Dealextreme.com for US$2.65 with free international shipping.

Remove the plastic top from the joystick mechanism and let one drop of WD-40 soak into it. Move the joystick around (as if navigating on your phone) for about a minute to spread the WD-40 around.

Again, my experience was that at first it seemed to make it worse, but after the first day it got better and better. It's now gone one month without any problems.

Update: 8 months later and my joystick is still working perfectly, without any additional lubrication. I definitely recommend this process, though as usual with anything like this, attempt it at your own risk.
[HTC Tornado] Marcin1989:
Hi,

KONTAKT working too :)
[HTC Tornado] baron22:
I didn't even take my spv c600 apart.

Just took the battery out.

Sprayed WD40 around the joystick and wiggled it about for a couple of mins ...

Then left it to dry.

Result = Perfect Joystick :)
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Hey, my left softkey is not so responsive.

What could be the remedy? Mind showing the contacts between the keypad and the circuit board?
[HTC Tornado] Toad:
Thanks for the tip! I was hoping I wasn't going to have to take my phone apart though.
[HTC Tornado] keff:
Cool, thank you! I had the same problem, and already bought and installed another keyboard - and got the joystick problem back after few months. Now I just sprayed WD40 around the joystick, wiggled it for a while, and it works like new! :)) THANKS!
[HTC Tornado] unleashedvigilante:
Just a warning: if you do this without disassembling the phone be very careful to only do ONE or TWO drops and sparingly. Although I thought I only did a couple, I now have a nice discolored "blob" going up through my lcd, not that it doesnt personalize it a bit, but not quite what I was going for :)
[HTC Tornado] pff:
I just used to take a drop of alcohol on a little piece of paper tissue, with a toothpick carefully cleaning the base of the joystick around. This has always helped for 2-3 months.
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
Well, I always used deodorant spray when my joystick was not responsive (with phone closed, tilt the joystick both up & down and then spray, just a bit - no need to disassemble the phone). No problem, no stress.
[HTC Tornado] Slav3k:
I cleaned my joy in the same way. (disassembling cover + WD-40)

This is perfect way. I did that a 2-3 month ago and joy is still working perfectly.

I made the same with my old Motorola's and their joyisticks are working perfectly for about year now :)

Ps. WD-40 need some time to start working. Next day after cleaning everything should work very nice :)

Ps2. I don't recommend spraying WD-40 on non uncovered joystick. The best (and the safest) way is to spray only joy. I had to change microphone in my moto becouse of that ;P
[HTC Tornado] Sage:
thanks for sharing this. ill be doing it tonight! :)
[HTC Tornado] mitsgsx:
white lithium grease in the spray can also works really well. Just take one small drop on a toothpick and pull joystick down and drop it in there.Its an easy alternative to having to take the phone apart. I did this last October and it still works great.
[HTC Tornado] supervaags:
funny.. just seconds before i found this topic.. i put 2 drops of contactspray in the joystick. for so far it doesn't helps much..

so i am not the only one with these problems

sticky?

Mods: I'd like to suggest this thread be made a sticky.

[HTC Tornado] thacen:
I dropped my phone on concrete floor from about 4 ft high and it bounce up and bounce. luckily it is still working with some problem with power switch and few loose casing (I glued it with super glue).

To fix the unresponsive joystick I tried to open following the instructions but the screw near the power switch is not able to remove, seems something broken inside after that drop, and I could not completely open it. So, tried to put few drops of spirit on the joystick but I actually pour some. After that I thought joystick is responsive more but later it remains same. Yesterday only I found out my keypad backlight is not glowing in the dark. I don't know when the problem started, after that drop, after that spirit, or after some setting change (I flashed Kamadaze's Pro RC7).

Sorry for long story.. but someone help me .. my joystick & key backlight.

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Tornado] dark_prince:
I will try doing with some organic solvent, but first I will have to wait for my joystick to malfunction (I always use nineway keypad to keep my joystick safe though :p )

What is the exact name and company of WD-40. Can any one tell me its composition coz i have many chemical lab retailers around in my neighbouring city :)

[HTC Tornado] zirooo:
check for auto supplies stores you'll find it
[HTC Tornado] thacen:
:D

I don't find WD-40 at my area.. but :D I think I don't need it

:D

I tried methanol this time and and it is working gr8:D

my keypad back light also ok after reflashing the ROM:D
[HTC Tornado] dark_prince:
lol!

my joystick has a hard down press to work :(

but i am fine to keep nine way keypad(too bad coreplayer doesnt work with it)
[Moto G7 Plus Questions & Answers] peonpete:
The battery life is the only major fault that this phone seems to have according to reviews, especially for the price, which is close to stealing it imo.

For reference, I have a Redmi Note 6 Pro right now and it has the same processor / same resolution / 4gb ram / and with it's 4,000 mah battery, it can last a whole day on stand by before needing a recharge. If I browse the web on it, it might lose 8% or so after a hour - no gaming just web browsing.

I'm looking for a budget phone with decent specs that can do at least 6 hours of web browsing on a full charge and still have at least 1/3rd battery left, if this can do that then it looks like it will fit the bill.

About Volte - I have heard that the international versions do not have it, not sure about the T-Mobile variant, but that the US release does have it. Can anyone confirm?

Thanks in advance!
[Fitbit Watches] randytsuch:
My 2nd Versa just died, blank screen. Tried resetting and charging just to make sure, but I can't get any display on it.

My first Versa died after about 11 months, so I received a warranty replacement. This 2nd one is the warranty replacement, it lasted about 18 months.

I don't think I'm hard on them. I used to shower with the first one one, with the 2nd one I take it off before I shower or swim, so really not exposed to any water.

My daughter also has had reliability problems with her fitbit, I don't remember what model that one is.

For the price the Versa was, I would expect it to last longer, so I just ordered a different manufacturer watch to see if that's any better.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] darkfrog26:
Okay, I recognize this is a stupid question, but because I don't see an answer I'll go ahead and look stupid by asking it. I have the SM-G998U1 (Snapdragon US) and I purchased an "Unlocked" version, which I know means it's not tied to a specific carrier. However, as others have said, there is no "OEM Unlocking" option available in the US devices, I presume that the unlocked bootloader is different than "unlocked" in terms of the carrier, right?

I'd like to root my phone and be able to switch ROMs, but I need to be able to enable "OEM Unlocking" before that's possible, right?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] uicnren:
correct.

an unlocked bootloader will allow root/rom.

that is completely different from carrier unlocking, which just ties the device to a specific carrier and has nothing to do with root/rom.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] darkfrog26:
Thanks, I appreciate the clarification.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Given the issues the new Samsung devices are having even if you can root give at least a few months under factory warranty to make sure it's ok... or risk picking up the full repair tab.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Darkat70:
When the watch 3 is Bluetooth connected to the s20u it seems that audio on my phone is really low, until i disconnect the watch.

Is there a setting or something that fixes this?

TIA
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] Dante63:
It's the phone, not the watch...

Since the watch can pick-up calls, the sound settings in your phone would use Bluetooth logic for calls, did I notice or encounter it...? I don't really know because my watch is always connected to my phone... how do I know this...? I made the dualspeaker mod and worked with many mixers files related to audio and Bluetooth has many path names...

But other than that, everything else should be fine with the media, notifications and system audio...

The answer to your question is ROMeOS, in my opinion. And we ALL have an opinion. Don't you think the server hard drives will fill up pretty quick if we all gave our opinions?

no thats why i asked for opinions. Is there a rule on these forums saying i cant? You acting like im saying "hey guys wat is the best rom out there" im asking for suggestions because i dont want to flash tons of roms when i can get simple opinions and go from there. also @ mbaryian can you make me a cab for t-mobile settings the ones i tired dont seem to work

The update itself worked with your method. However since then my phone keeps freezing after I try to unlock it. Ergo it boots up normally, I see the start screen but when I try to unlock it by writing down my pin, the phone freezes and instandly restarts.
