[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Questions & Answers] priamusx:
Unfortunately, still no luck.

But I've thought about other thing. Do you think it's possible to use .PIT file and re-partition option in Odin?

From what I've read everywhere this will wipe all partition data (so basically it should wipe every single thing) from the device, so it should be possible to overcome this oem lock, shouldn't it? Or will I just brick the device even further? I'm kinda desperate here as the phone is about 2-3 months so it's as brand new...

Edit: I think I've found another issue here. My device model is SM-N770F/DS so it's a Dual Sim model, while everywhere I only see firmware for SM-N770F so without dual sim. May it cause problems as well? How about the above option with flashin firmware with pit file and wiping partitions?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Lite Questions & Answers] butchieboy:
If you have figured it out by now good for you. If not, that emergency screen you see is nothing to fear. You can flash firmware with Odin from that screen...no worries your not bricked. Just do as you would if the device were in download mode..flash away.

Was your bootloader unlocked?
[Huawei P40 Questions & Answers] fmartins29:
Hi all,

Hope you're all doing alright.

So, I've been using this phone for a while. Main reason was the camera features and capability, as weel performance.

I have the GMS done thanks to the mighty bender007.

I know the notifications on some apps don't work well, despite testing all the configurations possible, disregarding the battery usage and drain, but I have one APP, Tesla, that I miss the notifications. I've search the forums and no luck regarding this issue. Not even the Tesla guys engineers know what to do. Has anyone encounter the same issue? Or, have done something to overlap this missing of notifications in some apps?

Thanks in advance.

Has anyone had the issue where, upon clicking Kevtris, the mobile device immediately does a soft reset?

Kevtris came installed via the Dutty's Diamond ROM, so I can't just uninstall it.

I've seen some threads asking about the google messages apk. but my question is:

My s21 ultra came with google messages by default as SMS app, I also have the Samsung messages app installed (I set it as default instead of the google messages app).

Is there a reason for the google messages app to have come as default? Are there any advantages to it?

p.s. I didn't really find the exact answer around the forum, if there is such answer, can you please point me to it and close this thread?

Regards
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Raiz:
I like google messages mainly for the good integration of RCS and also because it has a web app. The UI is fine, darkmode is cool, so if I had to choose I'd go for Google.

Now on why it's google messages by default, I have no clue...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NTGDeveloper:
Personally, I like Google Messages, but Samsung Messages now has RCS too I believe. It just got it recently. But from what I've seen and used, Google Messages is probably the way to go. It's just a better experience overall. It can verify business senders, help you report spam messages, and also just a couple of different things that are convenient, like what Raiz mentioned above. I'd go back to Google if you want something that works better overall.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] joancolmenares:
Thanks mates!

Will switch back to Google/Android Messages and test it out a bit more
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
I use Messages, the only AT&T bloatware app I use.

Edit, it's Samsung not AT&T🤣

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] alk1946:
Google messages far superior easier to use, much easier adding gifs, emojis and attachments.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Pøîñtßlåñk:
I use Google Messages it's really nice and simple to use.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] highlightshadow:
Wish you could uninstall the samsung contacts, calendar, calc, clock, messages, phone etc.... it's the one thing that irritates me with samsung that they spend all this effort replicating what google already does a perfectly good job of.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] S10Plus:
You can remove using the adb commands. You can find the package name by using the apk analyzer app.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mcbyte_it:
I was using Google Messages on my previous device, but with the S21 I couldn't set conversations to be mute (roaming messages i receive daily on my 2nd sim).

I can only make the notification silent for that conversation, but I don't even want the notification, which I cannot do.

Samsung Messages have this ability
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] henihazbay:
I use signal. Better than both, has everything plus security and privacy.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] thacounty:
Been out of the game for a long time. You can do this without root?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Raiz:
Well you can hide apps from the main user (you) with this trick but you can't actually delete the apk file from /system unless you have root.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Elixir_:
I personally prefer Samsung messaging app, mainly because of the its UI.

However, the main advantage of Google messages is the availability of RCS by default, no matter where you live or which carrier you have. You can have RCS with Samsung messages but only if your carrier supports it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NippleSauce:
Ah, really? I haven't had that problem with my S21U whilst using Google Messages. How were you trying to mute them?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] mcbyte_it:
In Samsung Messenger the no notifications option (bell icon with a bar on it) will not even show a notification in the Android notifications area (When I open Messages I will see there is unread messages in the silent conversation), while Google Messages it will still show a notification but without sound.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] BlaaaaazedUp:
I use Google Messages because for some reason, MMS won't send or receive in Samsung Messeges.

If anyone has a fix for this....
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] whitehawk66:
IMO... Google doesn't really do a good job with most things other than its search algorithms, ad monopoly and data rape....
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Elixir_:
Exactly, especially their UI. I have a pixel phone and many years after the launch of material design Google still doesn't use it in all its apps. The apps feels completely separate, each has it's ow design and colors. Some apps have dark mode with full black background (setting app) while others have dark gray background (contacts, messages,...). Let's not talk about YouTube, which still doesn't follow MD 2...

I like how samsung use the same design language for all its apps and they pay particular attention to small details just like IOS
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] walkerx:
I've tried both GM and SM and prefer SM for integration with OneUI as if you apply a theme it affects the app, but I also like GM as can get messages over web on your computer or other WiFi tablets.

Recently also been looking at the messaging app from Microsoft, which has some good features.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] MasterHack10:
With Google messages you have two down sides. You can't pin a contact and you can't schedule a message
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] thacounty:
You can schedule messages on google messages. Just type the message and hold the send button until the schedule comes up. It's this way in the US at least.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] MasterHack10:
Here in Portugal I've already tried that and it didn't work
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] 1Condottiere:
I like Google messages because of the spam reporting which Samsung still does not support. I have encountered a big problem (for me) with the notification sound on S21U. With Google messages you cannot set a different notification sound for the app (have not tried individual contacts). No matter what sound is chosen, it continues to default to the global notification sound. I looks as if there is a S21U programming bug (along many other small things that Samsung needs to fix, primarily in the camera app). If anyone has a solution, it would certainly be welcome. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] bissa:
is there a way to pin messages in the Google messages app like the Samsung one?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] NippleSauce:
It's not necessarily region based. The scheduled messaging feature is only in the Google Messages beta version. But luckily enough, I believe that anyone can sign up for that whenever they want. I was already signed up for the beta from a few years back when you had to be in the beta to get RCS like five months in advance lol
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Phaze1585:
even though I don’t use it anymore , I used to love Textra. All those customization features.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Phaze1585:
I thought signal only offered end to end encryption if the person/persons you were communicating with were also using the signal app?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] :
On the Samsung App i don't like, that the App wake up the Screen when a Message received and i can't disable this.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] P-KAY 2323:
The issue with Samsung messages is that the RCS only works accross samsung devices. I could never get it to work cross oem with my samsung with Samsung messages and girlfriend's OnePlus with Google messages. I had heard that it was supposed to be compatible with RCS on Google messages, but who knows.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] P-KAY 2323:
Hey bud. You can now pin contacts in Google messages. At least on samsung. That's when I switched to Google messages for good till samsung makes it work cross oem with Google messages.

I digress though. Here, take a look.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I can confirm that Samsung messages RCS is cross compatible with Google messages RCS. I have the S21U using Samsung messages, wife has a OnePlus 6 using Google messages. RCS works perfectly fine between our phones. Same with a colleague who has a Pixel 4A.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] P-KAY 2323:
Seriously? Well... what crimes did I commit? 🥺

Could you tell me if you followed any specific steps to get it working, and what your telecom provider is?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I'm from India. I have a carrier agnostic unlocked device. My network provider is Airtel. I didn't follow any specific steps to get it working.

I just wanted to try out RCS for the heck of it. Since my wife's stock Google messages app had it working (she uses it to exchange un-compressed images ob her OnePlus 6), I thought I should try it out too. For Science 😂

So I opted in for RCS on Samsung Messages under its settings, but it was stuck at verifying number for a long time. Since I mainly use WhatsApp for IM communication, like 99% of my country, I forgot about it and just shelved it as 'one of those Google things that don't work properly'

At some point of time however, the RCS service started working on its own (must've been a server side switch). Ever since that, it's been working as advertised.

Maybe you can try disabling the service, wait a few days, and then re-enable it to get it to start working. Emphasis on 'wait a few days'.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tressa1:
Samsung Messages. In my opinion, It has more features and a better interface than Google Messages.

You can... USE ADB from a command line shell it'll pull em right out of there a little search engine work will find you an ADB debloating guide with the packages list for your device but it's going to be a command like .. ADB shell pm --uninstall com.samsung.calendar.??? now you know what to look for - use the -k switch so you can keep a copy of the packages there to reinstall if you do something that you wish you hadn't.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] lywyn:
I tried using Signal for SMS as well but found it hard to keep track of which conversations were encrypted and not so went back to using a separate SMS app to manage my private and "public" texts :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I shifted from Samsung Messages to Google Messages around a week ago. So far, I like it. The only thing I miss is the ability to set different notification tones for each SIM card's SMS. One of them is my primary personal number, the other is for non essential people, and it's nice to know which category sent the SMS without having to pick up the phone and check.

Aside from this, I quite like Google Messages so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Marshchristmas:
I'm trying it RIGHT NOW, but... apparently if you turn off the chat features from Google messages it will allow you to get the messages in Samsung... . I don't know if I'm supposed to completely delete the Google messages app after I disable the chat features but I finally found what is supposed to be a workaround to your issue!!!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
When I was using Samsung messages, I had disabled Google messages from app settings. Samsung RCS was working well. When I switched back to Google Messages, RCS was showing as turned off. Just turned it on and it started working. I think it works only on one messenger at a time
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] BlaaaaazedUp:
I'll try this as well and report back
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] GeeAyeZee:
A lot of people have been unable to get their device to register for chat when using Samsung messages
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] death365:
Can u schedule messages with Google messages now?

That's one of the best features of Samsungs. I use it to remind people of what they have to do with out the hassle of trying to remember when and who.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
I've been running Samsung Messages for over 2.5 years, it's backup is by AT&T.

This N10+ is still running on Pie. Never got tagged by malware through Messages and it works well with low battery consumption.

Google invariably will eventually destroy even a great app (or OS), it's their nature.

I use the factory load versions of Gmail and Gmaps as needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Beso:
Samsung Messages for sure
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Aaron78:
Has anyone got the RCS feature to work? Mine is stuck at Connecting...?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Yes, RCS works pretty flawlessly now. I've even switched between google and samsung messages apps and RCS activates on either of them within a minute of setting it as the default messaging app.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] GeeAyeZee:
Guys if you open Google Duo and deregister your device from there it should allow Samsung chat to work fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sonnguyen.vn:
Both. Because uninstall Google Messages will broke Chat feature in Samsung messages.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ffuser1:
You can schedule messages to be sent at a later time.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Aaron78:
My S21 Google messages does not do RCS and chat features is always on "Connecting"
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I've faced this before. It's a Google server side switch. There's nothing you can do to fix it. Just give it time and eventually RCS will become active on its own. At least that was my experience...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Aaron78:
So apparently, I had to install the Google Messages for Samsung APK file from APKMirror. Now it says connected buy my wife has a S22 and we do not see typing indicators, etc.

Maybe my next phone will be a Pixel. SMH!
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Accessories] stewarta13wsb:
A near-disaster today, fortunately the screen protector saved the day, but was scraped through to the glass, so it is now removed.

Anybody got any recommendations for the best replacement (It's for Mate 40 RS - but I think all 3 variants have the same screen?)

I don't mind glass (sometimes easier to fit bubble free) but only if the fingerprint sensor still works 100% (never did with my Samsungs!)

Thanks for your thoughts.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Accessories] xchatter:
Before the curved screens ruined the tempered glass strategy for me I always bought Nillkin tempered glasses. For my Galaxy Note 9 I didn't like them but I decided now to try again.

I ordered this one: https://a.aliexpress.com/_mrySJ4R

It hasn't arrived yet but when it comes I will give feedback.

For my wife's P40 Pro I tried liquid glue(uv cured) glass protector but I hate these things. The glue always spills a bit somewhere and it's very hard to clean it. Also it starts to loosen on the edges very quickly.

Update: I received it but don't like it very much. It sticks for now and no problems for touch but still not very pleasant on the sides. I think I will look for a non glass one....
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Accessories] klemen241:
did you get it?
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Accessories] xchatter:
Yep, just read the last two lines of my comment. :)
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Accessories] klemen241:
i searched for a bit. There are glasses with UV glue, which shoul fit best for this kind of screen. But i doubt glue would go far enough. I need to test one, theyare about 4 dollars. For now for all edge screens, uv was best. In my country, you can get foil for screen installed free in huawei store for weekends. Check it out.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Accessories] xchatter:
Thanks for the hint. :)

Right now I am with a hydrogel one. It surely is not as though as glass but its infinitely more comfortable.

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000900534608.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.31be4c4dno4LBH ordered this one, wil keep you guys posted. I doubt the glue will goas far as the screen does haha.
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Accessories] xchatter:
I've tried liquid glue too but on my wife's P40 Pro. It started to loosen up on the edges very fast. Also if you don't clean very well any glue spills are quite nasty and difficult to remove postfactum. I also tried to go in a store for a different liquid glue one and while the guy kept it clean(no spills) it again started to loosen up on the edges very fast. :X
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Accessories] klemen241:
ah yes, i am only guy around here who know how to do them professionally. But it realyl depends on glue qulity and quantitie. Last time i messed up oneplus 7 pro so bad haha. But i am guessing mate 40 pro special waterfall screen must be pain in the butt
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Accessories] numernumer:
I've been using those hydrogen films ever since curve screens. most have what they say self healing, which is not bad considered that once glass ones chipped and you have to replace. so far its been good, never had any cracked screens from drops or anything( knock on wood)
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Accessories] klemen241:
Well got 2 glass protectors with uv glue. It kept getting bubbles underneath, messed up all the glue, cleaned, and i am gonna use it without protection hahaha
[Huawei Mate 40 Pro Accessories] Einzelherz:
For anyone who has been using the Mate 40 Pro without a screen protector, how have the screens held up?

I've been trying to find decent protectors and so far I've been disappointed. Either they're too small and don't get to the edge of the curve or they cover the front camera.

[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] gregito:
Hi everyone,

I don't really need google apps, so I was looking around on how to get notifications to work properly without a googlifier install. Applications of interest are Revolut and Microsoft Authenticator, which don't display push notifications for me.

I found that MicroG apparently fixes the notifications, yet when I follow the instructions, I still don't manage to get the "spoofing" checkpoints in MicroG app.

What I did was install F droid, load the repository found in the MicroG site, and installed all the required apks via Fdroid, but still can't get it to work. I suspect this might be because I'm on EMUI 11? Has anyone managed to find a workaround for EMUI 11 devices?
[Huawei P40 Pro Questions & Answers] FrenchKoR:
Hello gregito,

Spoofing isn't really important to make MicroG works. I'm also on Emui 11 and notifications works like a charm.
