Theoretically, Google can end GPlay compatibility on Custom ROMs anytime they wish. It's just that lot of App Developers don't use SafetyNet the way it is intended and Google doesn't roll out its strict check. They do it once in a while.

They don't have any competitors in their business space. It's a very well-thought monopoly.

CTS restricts Google Play API access to vendor operating systems. So vendors like Samsung, OnePlus and others have to play by their rules. IIRC, the cost of Play API is around 15$ per device but it is subsidized for large quantities.

End users don't really care about Play API. But App Developers do.

Without Play services, there is no easy way to integrate push notifications, ads, maps, analytics, metrics, and so on. Rolling your own thing will take years to develop and won't work as seamlessly as the play service counterparts.

I don't think Google will ever cede their monetary interests for open collaboration.
[General Topics] al_l_en:
Yeah that's for sure. The only way this monopoly can break is when an opensource alternative to google play services and other apis exist and while doing that it must be compatible with the existing google apis. And that is probably not going to happen in a long time. Although microg does solve this to some extent, but still it is a second citizen.

Some of the functionality is already there, like most of the google apps like docs and drive could replaced by nextcloud and then maps could be replaced by osmand. If some company, preferably an OEM, comes and integrates all of these into a package maybe there's hope. I think /e/ os tries to do this to some extent.

As the title, after twrp is adapted, will there be official pixel experience rom?
[Xiaomi Mi 11] luuxis:
there is already the possibility of installing a custom rom on the phone, you must use a GSI (generic system image)
[Xiaomi Mi 11] luuxis:
but it is still very buggy for the moment the phone is not usable for daily use

[XPERIA X1 General] inspectorgadjet:
Does anyone know if the X1 actually has TrackId or not? I don't think the SE site lists it as a feature, but several other sites that mention the phone seem to say that it does have it.

If it does have TrackId, is there any possibility that there's a cab file for installing it?
[XPERIA X1 General] dothan:
No, there is no TrackID installed on the X1. Maybe later on from SE will create a version for it.
[XPERIA X1 General] master athlon:
here is an old version from the Kaiser rom. it still works, it just says Cingular instead of AT&T.
[XPERIA X1 General] dothan:
Yea, but this is a different application from SE's TrackID.

i have installed several custom roms on my samsung note 8

they all work fine just they did not accept the simcard

have anyone a solution?

My guess is that the /EFS partition got corrupted or deleted: Installing custom ROMs from unknown sources may corrupt EFS data.

[Google Pixel 4 Questions & Answers] NicRac:
Hello everybody,

I have a accidentally cracked Pixel 4. The Display cracks after it falls from around one meter height. I decided to fix the screen and buy a new one. It seems to be not an original Bit the board of the new and the old screen seems to be exactly the same. I opened the phone and replace the screen without any damage. After the screen was inserted I test it if it woks. Success! Everything works (I not tested the touch Funktion yet) after I build most of the things together I give it another try and I recognized that the touch Funktion does not work. No matter how hard I press or hold the connector down etc. I tried many things also a Hard Reset. I never seen such problem before. And my question is: is this the screen, the phone or a software problem? And how I can fix this issue? I am completely confused because I fixed many phones but something like this is new. Regularly the complete Amoled does not work.

If I go to the left upper corner, there is some movement in the screen and this also stays if I release my finger (video).

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sharpshooterrr:
Simple use of the phone - browsing, instagram, google news, whatsapp, etc., the phone gets warm. Playing PUBG for 30 minutes, the phone gets a lot warmer, but never hot to the touch. The only way it stays cool is if I'm not using it at all. In comparison, my OnePlus 7 Pro stays cool all the time, except when playing graphic-heavy games.

Any setting I'm missing?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
Welcome to the hot club!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KrackerJak13:
That's odd my s21 ultra stays cool barely warm when gaming
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NippleSauce:
If you have the Exynos version of the phone, then that could explain the heat. But if you have a SD888 variant, then your phone will still get a little warm, but not quite as hot as the Exynos.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sharpshooterrr:
Using GSAT to check temperature levels, any light activity gets the phone to about 36C to 37C. I tried restarting the phone about 5 times in a row and it went to about 44C.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NippleSauce:
Thanks for updating your post title =). That's the clarity we need for this phone on XDA.

Anyway, I'm unsure of this, but I'm pretty sure that when a phone is booting up it generally creates a tiny bit of heat because it's just getting everything initially setup for that boot.

But yeah, just be glad that you have the SD version. If you didn't, it might be even hotter! And I agree that this phone still gets pretty warm - I just haven't done any temperature tests on mine. Either way, do you happen to be using a case on this phone? I'm a caseless phone user and my phone still gets warm when used for an extended period of time... So I have a feeling that some thicker, heat sealing cases might be turning these phones into toasters...

*Edit* - maybe they'd be more like hand warmers? Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Goku1992:
My exynos is cool.... And no im not a fanboy, had the note20 ultra exynos heater 🤣🤣 and sold it because of this **** chipset...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sharpshooterrr:
Coming from a OnePlus 7 Pro, the heat generated during light use is so noticeable that I had to install a temp monitor (gsat). No problems with previous phone.

I have the official leather cover on, it may contribute to the heat but it shouldn't be that much, I reckon.

I don't need hand warmers haha.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] salemsayed:
What's GSAT? Can't find it in the play store
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Sharpshooterrr:
Sorry, I meant GSam.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] pafc66:
Snapdragon here as well. Mines never warm . Only when I set it up.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
Please take a 10 minute 4K30 Video and say how much % battery it drained and if the phone got hot.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] denmastergaming:
I also have the Snapdragon version and I'm not sure if what I'm experiencing is normal or not, but my phone gets warm often especially the aluminum on the top left opposite of the camera. I've been keeping track of the temperature and it seems like my phone is always operating around 33C - 35C on normal everyday use like browsing, instagram and youtube. When I use the camera it goes to almost 40C. These numbers are around 91F-95F and 104F respectively. I recorded a 3 minute video on 4k60 and that's when it hit around 40C. Really trying to figure out if I should do an exchange.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ssj100:
Exynos: Lost the same 5% as you reported, and phone got hot around the camera module. Temperature of surrounding environment was around 20-25 degrees celcius. The phone didn't feel especially hot in general otherwise (using a relatively slim case).

Losing 5% in 10 minutes means about 30% per hour. So one could record in 4K for about 3-4 hours straight? Is that really that bad?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
Yes it's bad in my opinion. My S20+ (with the infamous/bad Exynos 990) lost 5% in 15 minutes 4K30 video recording and got barely warm.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ssj100:
After how many updates though?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
Many, many, many, many, many, many, many Updates. I hope they can improve it on the S21 too.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ssj100:
Yes, that's what I thought. I'm coming from the S9+, and there were several issues with that too when it first came out, which were all fixed with subsequent updates.

Just curious, how do you find the recording in FHD60? That's been my default recording as I don't actually have any 4K monitors.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ssj100:
Just thought I'd update here - re-tested with the April update. Lost 4% in 10 minutes on 4K30 video recording this time. Heating not as bad, although that's simply guessing/subjective (I don't have a heatgun).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] amirage:
It's just natural to lose 4% in 10 mins of 4k30fps recording. You are basically using all the system resources when operating the camera - i.e. the CPU, RAM and storage all run at the highest. It's not just this device you test this on any device iOS included and the results will be almost the same.
[MX Player] Mandrake1er:
Can you see embedded DVD Subtitles (Vobsub) in mkv video files ?

I didn't manage to do it because, even if MX Player recognised the differents streams, including the DVD subtitles, I couldn't select the subtitles in menu (as if there was no subtitles stream).

I had :

- to extract the subtitles from the mkv file (.idx and .sub)

- to reencode them in SRT format by using an OCR online service

- to replace the Vobsub subtitles by the SRT ones in the mkv video file.

Can you share an easier solution, it there is one, please ?

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] uscpsycho:
I just got a Note 20 Ultra and the wireless fast charger I've been using (including on S20+) will not work. I get a notification that says: Fast wireless charging unavailable. This fast wireless charger isn't compatible with your phone, so you're charging at standard speed.

This is just all kinds of annoying because I have lots of third party wireless chargers and it seems like Samsung is pulling an Apple move by making people use their own accessories. Is there some way around this so that I can fast charge with the chargers I have? This is the kind of thing that pushed me away from Apple and Samsung is doing more and more of that same kind of crap. Not sure I want to keep this phone if I have to replace all my chargers too. Especially considering how expensive Samsung chargers are.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Arr6:

Not true. You can still fast charge on third party chargers you just have to find one that works. I had to try different one till i found one that worked. Also look at reviews and see if anyone confirms it working on a note 20 ultra
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Samsung may have tighten the protocols because of 3rd party chargers causing undesirable issues rather than malicious exclusion.

If the charger/cable meet the protocols they should work.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Arr6:
With the newer fast charging I just stick to OEM. With the wattage and heat on these phones it is better to mitigate any risk.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] doggydog2:
fast charging (~10W) is super old now and it's sad Samsung is so behind competition. Anyways, i have collected many Qi chargers in time and I can promise you: Note20 or recent Samsungs will rarely work with 3rd party chargers. No 15W, no 10W, just good ol' 5W (4+ hours). Frequently even 0 watts (including Samsung chargers!). It's like Oneplus charging - least compatible of all, and there's just one 3rd party cable and one usb tester that works. The charging wars continue. Samsung customer is always the loser. Samsung customer has to fight and pay a lot to get laughable "fast" wireless charging like it was 2017. Same with wired charging..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] dvhttn:
Bringing this thread back from the dead ..... not long got a Note 20 (refurbished) and starting to get annoyed at the way my car charger won't actually charge the phone - just maintain it's charge level. The same charger will charge a Note 9 and an S7 much faster. I've read that Sammie managed to put out an update to stop 3rd party chargers working so well and see pointers to chargers that will work but has anyone managed to figure out a software fix for the issue? As in any devs. managed to figure out how to get around the issue?

Ta.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
If the display is on it will charge slowly or not at all, fast charging will not engage. If too hot charging may slow or disengage.

If too cold fast charging will not engage.

All in order to protect the Li from plating or worse.

No difference on or off.

Not too hot or cold, nothing to do with the problem I'm seeing.
