So I have to extract boot.img from my devices stock frimware and patch it with Magisk?

that's exactly what i did in my phone i get stock boot.img then patch it with Magisk ... the provided

Sometimes I turn on my phone screen and a bunch of texts drop in. For some reason my FB messenger is going into hibernation or something and I don't see an option to make it stay awake. I'm sure I'm just not looking in the right place.

Edit: found a setting that was set to "intelligent control" and had 2 other option, Optimize and Don't Optimize. It was under Battery optimization so I set it to "Don't Optimize". It was probably intelligently putting the app to sleep. Let's see if that fixes it.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] Peeptastic:
Is someone able to help me? I messed up in a big way. Long story short, I cannot seem to get the DATA partition back on my phone. I did read the part about encryption but was so excited I (Yes, confirmed dummy) was thinking that it meant android encryption and not simply lockscreen/password.

My passcode is correct, but the data is corrupted. I cannot repair the Data partition, nor can select it in TWRP. My computer no longer recognizes the phone. My backup somewhat works but not really, since the data part of the backup can't be installed.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I read the entire thread and thought I was prepared but nope. Or do I need to go phone shopping?

[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] guyenxda000:
I bought s20 ultra from local cell phone dealer off the craigslist. The local dealer seems quite reputable however the guy said IMEI has been changed which got me bit concerned but proceeded to buy anyway. What are the reason for that? Quick search of the internet shows it could be stolen. But I dont see someone from respectable local phone dealer (at least based on their yelp google review) doing that since they are sittiing duck.

I contemplated either to resell back or keep using and for now using. It is wonderful in terms of speed comapred to junk I carried briefly (LG Q70).

However, there is just bit of an easy feeling about using it with IMEI chanegd.

For now, I am doing for e-mail, phone call and various apps but hesitant about using with fin-app (brokerage), bank, ebay apps that involves money.

Any ideas?

What are the chances of mine being compromised? I am setting a common sense here as just because I got from wireless authorized dealer does not mean it is bad and getting a brand new from authrozied dealer (verizon) not necessarly guarantee security.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] XDHx86:
You bought a potentially compromised phone with a changed IMEI. That means that it's definitely stolen or was owned by someone who didn't want to be traced before being soled as a burner phone.

That being said, IMEI is just device ID. Meaning: Your device is in no way compromised just because a different ID. Surely whoever has the tools and your IMEI can track all your records across the internet and track your current location as well.

But don't worry the tools necessary for such a thing can only be accessed by authorized personnel of respective telecommunication company (Like AT&T) and your local authorities.

Also banking apps have meticulous safety checks before allowing the usage of the app, so don't worry too much.

However that doesn't mean that your phone is secured, as remains the question of how did they change the IMEI of your phone?

There are multiple ways to change an IMEI number but they all include one common point: They all directly affect some component in the device whether it be software or hardware.

So there is the possibility that your current software/hardware is compromised.

My advice? Just get a new phone, or make your phone secure again.

You can start by doing SafetyNet check. If the result is ok then you can be safe. (However as I said before whoever has the methods can still track you)

Flashing the stock ROM of the device then locking the bootloader can help. Also rooting the device then manually checking the device software for issues. Or simply changing the IMEI of your device again. (Only try those methods if you know what you're doing)

It's enough by itself that google, social media platforms and the government can track all your records across the internet whenever they feel like it, I myself wouldn't feel safe with potentially sharing my data with another unsolicited person.

So to answer your question:

Privacy is the issue when you have a potentially compromised IMEI. Not security.

Security is the issue when you have a potentially compromised system.

Hope I answered your question.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] jonboi:
You've bought a stolen phone.

Theres absolutely NO REASON to change the IMEI.... EVER. If it has been changed, it is because the original IMEI has been reported stolen, and changing it gets around the cell network blocking it. There is NO LEGAL REASON TO CHANGE AN IMEI

I hope you are not caught with it, its essentially stolen property.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tmel14:
Great to see some more positive feedback on the camera since the updates!

What resolution/mode are people finding best for general point and shoot? Auto or 3:4 (if so, with or without 108MP)?

Also, hoping for a bit of advice on the best ratio and mode to use in the following scenarios:

- Under artificial light indoors

- In low light

- Capturing movement without it being one big blurry mess (I tried taking a few of my dogs whilst they were running in the park and couldn't get any focus or features at all)

Any experts out there got any tips? :geek:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dazed1:
https://www.reddit.com/r/S21Ultra/comments/lr4t8j
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Gzoom82:
To capture movement you either need to push up the shutter speed to a speed of 1/300-500 in Pro mode (so only use the main camera no zoom), or 'pan'/move the camera to track the subject whilst its moving to with the zoom lens. The later is almost impossible to do on any phone, and AF on the S21 U I don't think is good enough for it, I tried it last weekend and I got zero usable shots out of about 10 attempts even with burst mode.

The other options is a 'still' capture using slow mo video or 4K 60 FPS.

I don't think its impossible to capture good motion with the main sensor, but you need to play with the setting, and use Manual Focus.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Tmel14:
Thank you for the tips, I will give that a go. Is the tap photo you posted an example of the shutter speed tip or slow mo/4K video tip?

Having had an opportunity to play around with the camera more, my main difficulty (particularly compared to my partner's iPhone) is definitely capturing the dogs while they're moving. I have experimented with burst shots and also motion photos to allow me to try and pick the best shot afterwards but it's really not ideal having to sift through a load of shots to try and find the most usable one.

I find that if I just point and shoot, the photo will often just be a blur with no distinguishable features - whereas the iPhone seems to capture the dogs in motion pretty well. By motion, I don't just mean in full flight either, at times my dog will be lying/sitting and just one head movement seems to completely nerf the photo...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Smartphones are crappy cam platforms compared to a pro cam system that weighs a couple pounds. A pro cam's handholds are also much better.

More mass means more inertia. The heavy pro cams are very easy to shoot with in part because of the extra weight.

So bracing the phone or the hand/arm/shoulder/your body holding the phone on any solid object at the right height helps to keep keep the framing lined up and avoid cam shake.

Even with a pro cam you brace it when possible otherwise you take a wider staggered foot plant, keep your elbows down/inward. You watch your breathing just like you would when shooting a rifle. If kneeling you can rest your elbow or arm on your leg.

This is a learned practice that over time becomes second nature the same as composing-framing/squaring up a shot.

You need to do this quickly/accurately to grab most action shot keepers.

That's part of the issue but far from all.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Gzoom82:
Yes upping shutter speed -1/2000, and Manual focus.

The Autofocus on the S21U back focuses at times consistently- so will focus behind what you want. Am not sure why, this scene below I just couldn't get the AF to focus on the purple flower, it didn't matter where I tapped on the screen it wouldn't do it.

Manual focus nailed it however. But you really cannot use Manual focus on a moving subject with the phone, the ergonomics just aren't there, so your best bet is to go into Pro mode and get the shutter speed up to 1/2000 range.

You will also need to push the ISO up to 200-400 to ensure the picture isn't too dark, so realistically you need to be outside with good sunlight to get a decent shot.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] dazed1:
Use auto tracking focus for moving subjects, remember to turn it off afterwards.
[Wing, P4350 General] dwhispas:
Is there any update out there to allow the Wing to access 3G? When I tether my wing to my laptop, sometimes I get 3g speeds and others I don't. Is there an update that will allow us consistant access?
[Wing, P4350 General] wshader:
Tmobile 3g.... No, completly different band, no hardware support.

ATT 3g..... Perhaps you would need to unlock it and try an ATT sim
[Wing, P4350 General] fzzyrn:
you can't get 3g at all on the wing. 3g is based on a hardware radio, and the hardware radio that we have only supports edge and gprs. If you want 3g, you will have to get a different phone, one with an actual 3g radio. By 3g speeds on your laptop, that just means "unusually fast"
[Wing, P4350 General] dwhispas:
I was hoping there was a software or firmware update that would allow us access to the 3G band. I was sure if it was out there you guys would know.
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] Mirkinen:
Hey guys,

I just bought the S21+, overall great phone except couple of issue with Android Auto and Whatsapp.

I was able to fix the Android Auto issue (wouldn't connect, had to remove the latest Google Chrome updates) but the whatsapp issue is above my paygrade.

I scanned the QR code and everything works but as soon as the phone screen goes black, whatsapp is slow and disconnects often. Not completely disconnected as after I send a message perhaps 10/15 seconds later it gets set but still not responsive as before (S8+)

Any idea?
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] It_ler:
Hard to say.

Have you network/internet connection issues?

Are you connected via WiFi or mobile data?

You should check connection settings. Try if it makes a difference if you are connected via WiFi or mobile data.

And if you have installed an adblocker, try disabling. Just to be sure that this is not the culprit.

And I would check for system and app updates.

After you running stock Samsung firmware? Hopefully not disabled any system app.

And the issues with WhatsApp are in the Android app or using WhatsApp desktop on a PC?

EDIT:

Now I have seen the title with WhatsApp web.

Do you have the same issue with WhatsApp desktop app on PC?

The smartphone needs internet access, so if it's locked, it still should be connected to the internet. So you should check the (energy saving) settings that WhatsApp and internet access well not be set to standby when the phone is locked.
[Samsung Galaxy S21+] pbhat25:
I think I have been able to resolve this issue for me. I have Samsung Galaxy S20 FE and due to WFH, it is connected over WiFi. Once the phone gets locked due to idle timeout, the Whatsapp Web would get disconnected on my Laptop.

Resolution:

I followed the following steps

Go to Settings -> Connections -> WiFi.

Click on Settings Icon for the Current Network that you are connected on.

Expand the Advanced menu.

Change option for Metered Network as "Treat as unmetered"

This should solve your Whatsapp Web Disconnect issue.

A bit late, but I was having the same problem and think I found a solution.

1. Go to Settings (In Android)

2. Apps.

3. Find Whats App.

4. Usage --> Battery.

5. Select Optimized or Unrestricted (Mine was set at "Restricted")

Hope that works!

My phone is a "renewed" Samsung Galaxy J3 (2018) AT&T unlocked. I'm scared that if I try to root, it will get bricked because of some kind of anti-root measure put in place by the manufacturer or AT&T. Basically I'd like to know if it should be okay, or if rooting is definitely a bad idea. Thanks 😊

Rooting is always a bad idea when you consider to run banking/payment apps on the phone: those apps refuse to work if root detected.
