[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] varcor:
I've had both Exynos and Snapdragon variants. As I stated the 9100 is a big improvement however Samsung continues to increase clock speeds on the Exynos Chipsets which is one of the reasons it continues to have heat disapation issues plus it throttles much faster than the SD888. Per Android Autrority. "With Samsung licensing AMD’s Radeon technology to improve its GPU game, the next generation of Exynos chipsets should have what it takes to match or even exceed Qualcomm’s offering. However, as it stands, if peak performance is what you want, you’ll want to consider the Snapdragon 888-packing Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra" Seriously doubt if Samsung offered Snapdragon variants in it's global market Exynos would remain the dominant SoC. This is an issue Samsung created so they could still access the US Carriers, two different chipsets in the same device, meh!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
But sd888 has bigger heating issues, exactly because it's not throttling. Exynos2100 is throttling, hence less heat. So depends what you want. I personally prefer a phone with a little less gaming performance, but cooler, as I'm not gaming on my phone. Just for fun, I tried Genshin Impact, as I heard that all phones are heating up with that game, even iphone 12 pro max. I played for an hour with all grafic settings at max and it reached 41°C without any visible slowdown or throttling. I've seen sd888 phones that went up to 65°C on this game.

So overall I'm very happy with Exynos this year. The phone feels very fast and smooth with great battery life, so that's all I care about.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Totally agree with your conclusion about the thermal management on the SD888 vs Exynos2100. I never thought the day would come when I was actually happy to have an Exynos chipset in my phone rather than a Snapdragon. Surprise Surprise!!

Played around with my colleage's OP9 Pro last month - and his biggest complaint is the heating, closely follwed by poor battery life and overall lagginess (apparently some recent update has started throttling commonly used apps to try to rein in the heating, albeit without much success).

As things stand now, I wouldn't trade my Exynos S21U for and SD model even if someone offered a trade.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ione2380:
Exactly. Oneplus is cutting apps access to the big core X1, just because of heat. Xiaomi mi11 is heating up like crazy. The only phones that don't have heating problems with sd888, are gaming phones with an active cooling fan.

Phone is sim locked (imei was barred in my country) So i cant make calls/4g within the country

Is there any solution for this? ie modify the IMEI code?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] L!V3_4_XC3SS:
Is this simlocked to one specific network that isn't the one you want to use it on, or is it blacklisted ie. someone sold you the device but they ddin't pay their bill with the carrier, etc. ?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] lee88:
Its open to all carrier.

Yup that person didnt pay bill

Was wondering if there is a solution to this..

1) Will the carrier lock both sims?

2) Is it possible to bypass this lock?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] L!V3_4_XC3SS:
Hmm... let's check your IMEI and find out if it's a ban on your IMEI - you're asking me about both sims, do you have a dual-sim phone? Go here https://www.imeipro.info/ put in your IMEI for the phone - (not the iMSI for the sim) Have you already tried the phone with a sim from a different carrier than the one you believe it's blacklisted with? This should be able to tell us if there's a blanket ban on your IMEI or if it was just something carrier specfiic.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] lee88:
Status is clean.. All other carriers are blocked as well

Seems like its locked based on the imei nationwide
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Badger50:
Greetings. Just an FYI for all of you. Since the changing of the IMEI is prohibited in many countries for obvious reasons, XDA does not condone this discussion as well.

Best advice would be to contact the carrier, pay off the phone, and call it a day.

Thread closed.
[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] PattayaGlock:
Not sure whether to post here or under ROMs.

Phone was working fine this morning, had a couple of missed calls. I update Magisk and noticed both of my sim cards are showing a square icon w a line through it. When I go to settings, sim card, the app keeps crashing.

I am hoping I have overlooked something stupid and simple. Airplane mode is off, cycled it off and on just in case. Google play services was checked under Magisk Hide, unchecked it and rebooted. Still no phone modem.

I have XXX no limits installed and elemental kernel.

Only change I have made was updating Magisk. Thought I would post here before I uninstall Magisk.

***UPDATE****

I have the patience of a 2 yr old.

So this is what I did:

Unistalled all my Magisk modules

rebooted

phone is working

added my 3 modules back in 1 at a time and rebooted each time.

Got a weird reboot about a minute after my last reboot ( after I added XXX back in ).

I am using OS14 Laucher and got a couple of weird restarts there also.

But the phone and both sims are working.

This last update has been strange. After I updated my phone passed safety net for the 1st time in ages. My banking app still detected root and I can't use it, but I passed safety net.

After removing then re installing each of my modules I no longer pass safety net.....but that is a whole other post.

Hello all!

Yesterday, while trying to load a couple files and install a program, my Hermes kept locking up. Found out my Card was almost full. (Lexar XD 2Gb)

Turns out somehow during that process, it correpted two folders on my Card, the Programs Files and the Live Search Folders. I have no access to those folders (can open them, but cannot delete files) and programs using them like AvantGo will not work.

I tried deleting both on the Device itself, then on the PC (2 pcs, work and home) through activesync, and finally putting the card into a Card Reader and trying to access and delete from my PC. Nothing worked.

I then tried to Fdisk to find errors, but Fdisk would report it couldn't do it after 10 secs. Tried the reboot and check also, no go.

So it looks like a few folders are corrupted. Anyone know of any (preferably free) software that can fix this issue. Otherwise I'll trun to Frys and get a new card, but it has a lot of stuff on it and I'd rather not have to do that at this time.

I should mention, most of the folders work fine, all my music, pictures, file back up etc work ok. Its just those two upper lvl folders and anything inside them. Wierd!

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] meckah:
Do not know any software which can fix the issues you described.

But you mentioned that you are going to buy another disk.

I don't believe that's necessary.

You should be able to format the disk. Usually formatting the disk should clean all the badly recorded parts on the disk.

You might also want to invest in a good back up software in the future for when similar occasions happen again.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] JETninja:
Well, a quick google shows all sorts of software out there, most of it more for saving stuff (mostly image related) but others that are supposed to fix corrupted sectors supposedly, looking for peeps in here that have run into same problem.

Been planning on a new card at some point, 4-8gb would be nice, just wasn't planning on going that way quite yet.

And I back things up, but you cant back up installed programs, you have to re-install them. Like I said, all the Data and stuff is fine.....

A piece of software called DelinvFile might help. 15 day trial available.

what can i do ? Anyone an idea ?

That's not really phone related. Happens on all devices if the detection methods of banking apps are updated.

Sometimes workarounds like freezing Magisk can help.

Depends on the banking app.

[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] theskig:
Hi folks,

after the last update I have a big problem: when I start a call suddently the signal goes 0 (on both SIMs) and I receive a "no network" error. After a few seconds the signals go back but sometimes I have to wait for 15 or 20 minutes to call otherwise the call drops again.

It happens even when receiving calls.

I have this problem at around 30/40% of calls I try to make and this is very disappointing because I use the phone for work and I do many calls everyday.

A user on an Italian forum had the same problem two updates ago, he told me that he solved after a reset of the phone. I'm desperate now, tomorrow it's holiday in Switzerland so I think I will do it.

NOTE: It's strange nobody on internet is talking about this problem... It's only me? 😞
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] beachbloke:
Having the same issues with this build.

I have the HK dual sim, which I flashed the SEA firmware onto last year.

I'm having to go back to my old phone until this is resolved, I have missed several calls because of it. I tried a factory reset, which seemed to clear it up for a short while, but the problem came back.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] 1ceb0x:
Same problem here. After the update of

51.1.A.5.159​

I cannot receive or place calls

I cannot receive or send messages

IF I am inside a building. The network goes from 2 bars to 0 when I try to call. If i go outside of the building the cellular network is stronger (full) and calls are going through. I suspect there's something wrong with the baseband maybe? Which is what I was trying to search for yesterday. Was wondering if the current baseband for Android 11 is new or maybe it is the old one from Android 10?

Regardless, I can wholeheartedly say that Android 11 has basically shattered the signal strenght on this device to the point of making it useless. Now I can use it as a multimedia device... weeeheeeee.... Buy a premium device they say, it will be worth it, they say. Never had this issue on any of my Oneplus devices. Shame on Sony!

(btw my phone has the international software, not the HK one. using it on one single sim- XQ-AT-51).
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] theskig:
The italian user told me now he's fine, the problem didn't came back.

Please do let us know how you get going. I too wanted to perform a factory reset but I've postponed it in case I could find some answers on the internet.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] theskig:

[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] theskig:
The situation is maybe worse than before.

I don't remember if is it possible to downgrade. Xperifirm? Still works with new phones?

Otherwise I have to use my old XZ Premium because I have so many issues at work.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] theskig:
The thing I noticed is that the call drops when switching network from 4G to 2G. Expecially on my Italian SIM, i have a weak 4G signal in my office (1-0 bars) but I have a full 4 bars 2G signal. Before this update when I start a call you can clearly see the signal bar going from 0-1 to full 4 meaning the phone switched to 2G. After this update it was impossible to place a call from my office on my italian SIM because it fails in that 4G/2G switch.

I put that SIM in "GSM only" and I had no issues in managing calls. It's unpractical but works.

The problem is worse on my Swiss SIM (the one I use for work) that has no 2G coverage, so I leave it in 5G/LTE/WCDMA/ecc ecc and hope the best. But I see some switch happens even there ranging from 0-1 to 3 bars (I think is 4G/3G switch. I don't have 5G or 2G coverage in my office). So I can't do anything to avoid the issue, that happens randomly but it's quite frustrating
[Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers] Kristianstanciu:
(...)Same problem on HK. Does anyone think that the problem will be solved with an update? Sony flagship haha. The gsm signal was much weaker than the former P20pro before .... 178. Now ..... disaster. I think the only asset Remaining that you can read "network unavailable" on a 4K screen
