[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Exynos ?

What are your ambient temperatures outside ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I found WQHD to be smoother. Phone seemed less hesitant (for lack of a better word) in day to day interaction. For example, when set to FHD+, there would be a small delay after unlocking, before the screen starting accepting a touch input. Nothing lagged, but there was this feeling that the CPU/GPU was scaling up an FHD interface onto a WQHD screen (Number of pixels remain the same on the screen, whatever resolution you pick). Once i changed to native WQHD resolution, everything seemed to be instantaneous. It may be consuming more battery, I'm not sure - but i don't see a worse battery life than what it was on FHD+.

During a CODM session I noticed that FHD+ gameplay was smoother than WQHD - so that's probably going to be my use case for FHD+ - Gaming. For everything else, I'll stick to WQHD for sometime and post my experience if I notice any downsides.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
What i have noticed is , if you change the resolution from 1440 to 1080 .

The phones data in certain apps still shows that phone is rendering 515 ppi

A restart is must after changing resolution ..

Try to reduce to 1080p , do a reboot , and then use the phone and see if there is a difference ..
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Will try today and see if the reboot idea makes a difference over the next 1-2 days
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Okay

do reply
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
So far, FHD+ seems to be easier on the battery. The touch delay has disappeared after a reboot, so thanks for that suggestion!

Charged nearly a day ago, and did regular usage including half an hour of CODM, WhatsApp, XDA, reddit etc mostly on wifi. Auto dark mode (sunset to sunrise)

With that kind of use case, I'm at 19+ hours since full charge, 4+ hours of screen on time and still have around half the battery left.

I can live with that. 😀
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
So thats the point .

Qhd is good , but its not easy on cpu/gpu as well as battery .

I am more concerned about the overall general performance , ( not gaming)

Hows the overall performance as of now ?

Like using whatsapp , insta ,facebook , typing , browsing , etc?

Better/smoother than qhd? Or similer ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Honestly speaking, general performance seems no different between FHD and WQHD. I can't even tell which resolution I'm running unless I go to the resolution setting page.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Yes .. thats true .. its just after changing the setting . You realise that its different .

After like 5 mins of using i barely notice the change in resolution .

I dont know how you are able to achieve that type of battery ..

I might have tinkered with a lot of setting , installed galaxy labs and good lock too .

According to you should i get my phone restored ( software) once from the service centre ?

Or will the factory reset be enough ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I have good lock too, haven't used labs. I like to tinker with my phone as well. But I don't usually make changes outside what the OS allows (I've changed only user facing options, not dug into system disabling apps, or other such activity)

Service center will not do anything more than what you will do at home. If you think you may have messed up too many settings and can't recover from it, just do a factory restore and set up again. But for the first week or so, expect poor battery life as the OS settles down. Coming from a OnePlus, I actually quite like Samsung software. It has a polish that OnePlus lacks, being built purely for Speed. It's quite robust, just make small incremental changes to set up to your liking, battery life will settle down to a comfortable level.

My battery life was terrible when I got the phone a week ago, but has continued to get better with time.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Do you think it could be an issue of bad os ?

Will the restore from service centre make any difference ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Honestly, I dont know. Only way to find out is to try. But once again, I don't think Service Centre people will do any special software flash that you cannot do with a factory reset at home. If I was you, i'd not give my phone to a stranger unless I couldn't manage or fix something myself first.

BTW, what is your major gripe with your phone? Battery life? SOT? Standby? Performance? What is bugging you so much?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Sot , battery . I could barely manage 5-6 hours sot without gaming .with Aod on fhd 120hz

Using the camera makes the phone heat up alot and after using camera it throttles and even scrolling feels a bit laggy .

Changing to wqhd and rebooting ,

The ui feels less smooth , the response time reduces , apps like snapchat and instagram start stuttering .
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
That doesn't sound alright. Have you done a lot (i mean a LOT) of tinkering with the OS? If so, something might have gone off the rails and causing problems. Impossible for me to say. But the phone is buttery smooth... I don't think you should accept any lagginess. Most of the heating issues are also gone after the April update, so I'm not sure what has your device spooked. Which country are you from? Can you get an easy replacement or are you stuck with your device like in India? I'm not saying your device is faulty, but if its bugging you and you can get a free replacement without losing money, get it swapped with a new one.

If that's not possible, the easiest way out will be a factory reset at home.

I'd say go for it, wipe and set it up afresh.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Unfortunately i am from india bro .

Bought offline ,

No replacement/return

I know if i submit in the service centre they are gonna destroy my phone ( may be sratches / mishandling or they could open the phone and destroy the waterproofing)

What i am planning is go to service centre and get the phone flashed again . ( i am least sure that it could be a bad os install on my phone )

A factory reset is what i can try at the moment .
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Best of luck! Do keep me posted. I really hope you get this sorted out.

This is a very expensive heartache otherwise! I can imagine what you must be going through. Spend the Sunday setting up a freshly reset phone. If you start now, you should be done by night. Damn thing has soooooo many settings to navigate.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
While setting up , did u install the samsung apps?

Are u signed in to samsung account?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Yes for both.

But I made sure to uncheck the Samsung Customisation Service during setup. I only ticked the boxes that were compulsory for allowing the setup to proceed.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Okay thanks.

Can you tell me how to turn on that setting , where while filling details of credit card , it just gives an option to scan the card . And boom its done .

Also the auto filling , like details of me , my addresses , my email etc .

I was able to do that on oneplus .

Has it to do with the google keyboard?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
It's in Samsung Pay. And address etc is in Samsung Pass.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
It wont pick up the details from google account ? As oneplus does ?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I'm not sure. I've come from a OnePlus too. I don't think it's a OnePlus feature. I think you're talking about Google autofill. That will work once you sign in with your Google account.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Could be google chrome as well ?

Because now i am using samsung browser ,

I feel chrome is **** on android
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Not sure. Maybe someone more well informed can chime in here.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Allright . I didnt do the reset today .

May be day after ill do ..

Are you also waiting for the watch redemption?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Yes. Someone here said next batch redemption will go live on 7th April. Hope that's correct.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Yes as per the customer care its on 7th .

I hope they do it tomorrow .

I cant wait for it now .. 🥰😋
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ellz09:
Hi, you can change the autofill service to Google in the settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] aj7400:
Thanks found it . Under language input
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Krys-:
from what i know you can download Game Plugins on the Galaxy Store and download the Game Booster+ plugin, from there you can leave your screen res at 1440p, and then you can click on a game and change the resolution to 75% (aka 1080P)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] chad30:
Dude... That seems insanely good battery life, I always thought everybody's battery was the same, mine would of been 0% and gone at about 8 hours... IIIIIIFFFFFFF i was lucky sometimes even 6 hours maximum.... 🤔🤯😤😩
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pensador:
hi all,

Yesterday I installed SPB mobile shell.

I played and configured with it the whole evening......

but DAMN!!! I LIKE IT!

The whole interface is SO MUCH BETTER then the tflo....

It's easy to navigate...it looks nice....and it runs like a charm!

Anybody else installed this beauty?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] groofoo:
yup, i did.

but i dont like it that much.

it runs good, but i guess i got a different taste for eye candy :D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ferus:
I installed it as well and I must admit it's very useful.

And I use the Second Today program - this way I get to keep Touch Flo as well :-) It's the perfect combination.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] pensador:
hahaha, ah wel..it better be like that right!

If everyone has the same taste some girls where VEEERY bussy! LOL
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Vanstra:
I use it and I like it very much.

No TFL3D for me again....:D
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] NLS:
the whole SPB suite is great, try it people
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] twisted-pixel:
been using mobile shell for years on my WM devices.

I like the graphics of TF3D but to me it was all form and no function. Mobile Shell is sooo much better.

I also have SPB weather and SPB Diary too.

I've always wanted to be able to swipe down on my notification bar and turn on screen recording, sadly that isn't an option on Pie and i was wondering if it could somehow be integrated maybe through a magisk module?

[ASUS ROG Phone 5 / 5s] whitegoh:
Hi,

My phone software is CN, anyone managed to make android auto works? Or we must use WW rom to use it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] danergo:
Hi!

I've a Galaxy Watch Active2 (SM-R825) with LTE activated and working.

Still, sometimes (usually...) my watch when phone is away (I'm running) puts itself to *Standalone* mode, in spite of full 4G coverage:

View attachment 5268117

The problem is in this case that the watch is not able to receive any notifications from my phone.

Well, I did my homework and searched online, no battery optimisation is enabled for any Samsung service on my phone (which is also Samsung by the way...):

View attachment 5268121View attachment 5268123View attachment 5268125

So, my question is, can I do anything to "trigger" the watch to connect to phone remotely?

During today, my phone was also on charger during the watch lost the connection and went to Standalone mode.

I'd really need it to be more aggressive, especially if it has fully operating 4G connection.

Do you have any idea guys?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] galaxys:
did you try turning off Bluetooth on the watch?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] danergo:
Hi, thanks. No I haven't tried turning OFF the Bt. I'm listening to Spotify during run so I need to have it on.

Why do you think Bt has any influence on standalone vs connected remotely mode?

Thx!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] galaxys:
Only because my LTE shows Connected remotely - T-Mobile...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] danergo:
I dont understand your point, sorry. But thanks anyway!
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] 73sydney:
As far as i know, having the non-LTE version, Standalone Mode refers to when the watch and phone lose connectivity over Bluetooth
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] danergo:
I have LTE version. SM-R825.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] 73sydney:
I think youre missing the point myself and at least one other person have tried to get across

Its got nothing to do with LTE

I'll be even clearer:

Standalone Mode refers to when the watch and phone lose connectivity with each other over Bluetooth

From Samsung: In Standalone mode, the watch is not connected to the smartphone and operates as a standalone device
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] danergo:
Standalone mode (in case of LTE watch) means that the watch lost connection to the phone via Bluetooth AND also not able to connect it to the phone via Samsung's servers.

If the (LTE version) watch loses the Bluetooth connection with the phone, it activates its 4G connection and tries to connect to phone over cloud.

But my problem is that sometimes its not happening.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] danergo:
If the watch loses Bluetooth but it can connect to Samsung's servers over 4G (LTE-capable watch) or over Wifi (both LTE-capable and Bluetooth versions), it will display "Connected remotely".

In this case all your configured notifications will be forwarded through Samsung servers to your watch. (And you can also reply to messages WhatsApp, Viber, etc.)

But of course due to some network difficulties, sometimes 4G or Wifi can disconnect therefore the watch loses its connection to Samsung's servers. In this case it will go back to "Standalone" and no notifications will arrive. (See my original screenshot)

My problem is, that in spite of my watch displays full 4G signal, it is in Standalone mode. However if I toggle the network connection (only the data), it will eventually connect back to Samsung's servers.

So, I'd like to know if there's a better way to kindof "forcing" my watch to reconnect to the servers.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajbopp:
Is there a command somewhere I can use to script a toggle button in rlToday to turn internet connection sharing on and off? Or maybe some software tool that's been developed? I'd just like to avoid going to the comm manager for this purpose.

Thanks!

[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] coloneyescolon:
I recently enabled a setting in stock OOS that automatically starts my device at 6AM. After flashing LOS i noticed that it still booted up at 6AM, but I could not find any setting to change or diable that behaviour. Any ideas about how I can change the setting from a custom ROM?
[Fire HD 8 and HD 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Matt Penfold:
I am trying to restore my Fire 8 (Karnak, 8th Generation) so stock. I currently have Fire OS 6.3.1.5 installed, with TWRP as the recovery. I am wanting to update FireOS to the latest version, but when I try this I get an infinite boot loop.

I suspect the problem is with TWRP being the recovery rather than the Amazon version. I found some instructions here, but when I try that I just get a "waiting for any device" message. The Fire 8 is being seen by Linux and ADB is enabled in settings on the tablet.

Can anyone point to a way I can achieve what I want please.

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Ali3nSt0rm:
Hi,

So I was busy on my HTC Touch Pro, i had to do a restart with the pencil (don't know if that is the hard or soft reset) because it wouldn't do anything anymore.

Now, it restarted, but as soon as it comes to entering my pin code, it keeps doing small vibrations, like half a second, then nothing for half a second, then again half a second, and so on, and sometimes it just keeps going for 10-20 seconds or longer without quitting.

While it does this, i can't use the touch screen to enter my pin code or anything, the keyboard doesn't work, ...

I tried to solve it by getting my sim card out of the phone, but then it gets to the touchflo3D menu, but i also can't use the touch screen or the keyboard here.

Does anyone know what to do? right now it's been vibrating for 3 minutes allready without pausing (and without an interval), so i put out the battery again so the vibrating-motor won't heat up too much.

Thanks in advance

EDIT

I figured out that when it's connected to the pc, it doens't do the vibration thing, but as soon as i disconnect the cable, it starts the vibrating again.

Going to try uninstalling sensorlock (which I installed yesterday, hadn't restarted the phone since then until today.

I'll keep you posted

EDIT2

Yep, sensorlock was the problem, now it works without problems ^^

I'm happy i could get into the menu's when the usb cable was plugged in

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] groofoo:
http://gathering.tweakers.net/forum/view_message/30722853

translation: further more, sensorlock caused almost a hard reset problem, after a soft reset, the phone started to vibrate and contineud doing it, so that nothing else wouldnt work anymore.

as soon as i plugged in the usb lead, it stopt vibrating and i could use the phone again.

i uninstalled the sensorlock crap.

maybe this wil help.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Ali3nSt0rm:
Yep, that was the problem.

Sensorlock made this thing go insane lol

I was getting worried of having to bring it back to the store as I only have my phone since 3 days ago.

I uninstalled it and it worked.

@ groofoo, ik spreek nederlands, maar zocht het op in het engels en vond niets :D

[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] 7aylor:
Hello, I either completely forgot or just never ran into this before. I am used to flashing kernels in FKM. I and on Proton ROM and want to use Zest kernel and be rooted in Magisk. How can I do this?

Currently, I run thebZest kernel .IMG through Magisk and then flashboot boot *zest rooted kernel image*. It does not work. It installs the kernel (I think), but I lost my root from the original proton kernel.

Please help.
[Google Pixel 4a 5G Questions & Answers] swangjang:
Zest kernel img only contains the executables to patch the kernel which is why you have to "fastboot boot", not "fastboot flash".

Containing only executables means it doesn't have the actual "bootable" code on it to boot the phone.

This means, you have to:

First, flash a stock magisk_patched.img by doing "fastboot flash boot magisk_patched_stock.img"

And then "fastboot boot zestkernel.img".

This will install the zest kernel while keeping root.

Is it faster, but not much? Is the speaker volume lower? How does GPS compare? Liking the new camera? We'd like to know! This way we can get good reference material for our eventual upgrade.
