What exactly does the home button do if NOT in TF3D?

and because Ive asked this in like 5 forums at various times and never gotten an answer, does the diamond support bluetooth multipoint (A2DP+Headset, specifically)?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] peterc10:
The home button gets you back to the home screen no matter what programme you are using.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] ilkhan:
TF3D homescreen?

What if TF3D is turned off?

(mine hasnt shipped yet. :( )
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] michi123:
It takes you back to your today screen - with whatever plug-in(s) you might have selected (TF3D being one of the options....)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] flykthewiz:
You know what? I would wait until it arrives and then have a really fun play

cool. Thanks.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Zkiller112:
After 4 years, Samsung launch last security update for s8.

Really like this phone, works still great. I change the battery in september. To keep my phone i would know security threat, problem and their severity rate.

How much time i can keep it? I change the battery 8 mouth ago, i would keep it 2 or 3 more years but i don't know if i will have security issus.

It's possible to keep my phone with small risk? How much time??

They have something to help security? (tips, security apps)???

Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] AuzzyPunk:
Hi everyone!

I'm trying to pair my galaxy watch gear s3 to my rooted s21 ultra and I haven't been having the best luck and getting a successful pair, I've tried various things out there such as, Magisk Hide, Magisk Hide Props and changed my devices fingerprint to a Google Pixel 3 no luck, and finally I've tried the Bluetooth patch module in Magisk alongside with some code I found in a forum post about the same issue with no success, the code ended up bricking my phone twice even after double checking that I've entered it in correctly and in a reasonable one line at a time sequence.

I've had successful pairs with other rooted devices also.

Please let me know if there is any other possible fixes regarding my issue, thanks!!

I've tried using this on my second try but every time i did it it put my phone through a bootloop, i've noticed when i did it as well it said device size too small what could i do about that?

Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] AuzzyPunk:
Is it maybe possible for someone to make a magisk module for this fix as it gives a lower chance of bricking a device?

Just a curious thought :)

I faced the same issue after rooting my Galaxy S21 Ultra (android 12)

I tried the solution that dr.ketan suggested in his post. After following the steps, my phone got stuck on the botting page and wouldn't turn on properly. So don't try what was suggested in the d.ketan's post if you are on a S21 Ultra (android 11 and 12). In fact, that solution was also mentioned in the original solution on github in which the author said:

"*Beware! /!\ Owners of the S21 series cannot use these commands (or you have to be SURE your vendor partition isn't read only or full) and must instead use the zip bellow to flash using TWRP. The commands below could brick your device /!*"

here's the github repository. you can read it if you want to.

anyways, here's the solution to fix galaxy watch not getting connected to Galaxy S21 Ultra (S21 series) after rooting the device.

after you rooted your device using odin and the patched magisk AP file,

1. install TWRP using this tutorial

https://xdaforums.com/t/recovery-unofficial-twrp-for-galaxy-s21-ultra-exynos.4240993/

2. Then download BluetoothLibraryPatcher_twrp_2.4.1.zip from this repo on GitHub and flash in in TWRP

Hello,

With my former employer I had a phone that I used my Samsung account with, problem is that Samsung account is registered with the work phone number I had at the time, so I can no longer login to my account because of 2 factor authentification being enforced onto my account (without my consent).

To regain access to my Samsung account I need to have the phone's Serial Number, how can I get it? I don't have anything left from the phone, but I used it regularly with Google Account, Windows, "Your Phone" app, etc....

Can I get it through Windows registry, logs or some online webservice?

they'd probably say the phone has been scrapped by now, in that case back to Samsung and look for a contact us link.

she can't be the first person to face this scenario since they brought in 2FA. if she still has an email account attached that's something.

Hi !

I tryed playing in my cell phone to see where i could setup the folder where i would like to save the voice notes files on my cell.

They're always saved on the cellphone memory, but i would need to save it on the storage card memory since i have much more space and would like to record my classes !

Anyone has any tips or where to go for this ?

Thanx for helping a noob that is in love with his cellphone :D

hrm...thats a good question...i wasnt able to do it.. i didnt go digging too deep in the registry though...if you want a simple solution, pm me and ill give you some different software that you can install, where saving the voice note to your card is an option. if you dont want to do that, im sure one of the guys will be along to troubleshoot...

Got a response the link is :

https://sourceforge.net/projects/treblerom/files/crDRom11/2021.04.28/crdrom-v306-210428-arm64-bvZ.img.xz/download

It flashed fine but the install of nikgapps failed due to storage full error. I tried rebooting to system and tehn going back to recovery, but now I get a request from twrp for the dta decrypt password.

I tried default_password and everything else I could think of. I even reflash twrp with no luck.

Any thoughts?
[Thinkpad Tablet General] snickle:
The gapps issue is system needs to be expanded and our version of TWRP fails when trying to resize the partition. I will try manually, but first I need to solve the twrp problem. A smaller gapps package might also work.

I got twrp working again by doing a full rescue with LMSA and then reflashing twrp and magisk, but that leaves me where I was before I started the exercise.

The new rom looks good, if I can get twrp and gapps to work.
[Thinkpad Tablet General] snickle:
Resizing the system partition works with stock room installed, but fails as soon as the gsi imaged is flashed and rebóoting back into recovery gives decryption password issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
Any help, where should I even look to troubleshoot this? Can I turn off all settings that might affect this, to see if that fixes things (before I resort to factory reset)?

My S21 Ultra fails to show some of my Google calendar event notifications, but will show other Google calendar event notifications.

The S21 Ultra should show all of the Google calendar event notifications, because all of the Google Calendar notifications trigger on my previous phone and web browser. It's just the S21 Ultra that seems to miss 3 out of 4 Google Calendar Notifications.

I disabled battery usage optimization for Google calendar, but it's puzzling that the S21 Ultra shows only some of the Calendar Event notifications, but I don't see any pattern, or what would cause some Google calendar event notifications to work and some don't, but only on the S21 Ultra.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
Oh, to add, I checked the S21 Ultra's App notifications, to see the list of "Most recent" notifications that have been triggered.

Google Calendar shows up, but lists 14 hours ago as the most recent Google Calendar notification on the S21 Ultra. I've had several Google Calendar events that should have notified me more recently, on as recent as 1 hour ago.

I just added a test Google Calendar event using my web browser, and the browser faithfully notified me about the Google Calendar event.

It's as if the S21 Ultra doesn't even know that it's supposed to trigger a Google Calendar notification? Yet my old phone has no issues triggering all Google Calendar notifications.

The S21 Ultra will also trigger other notifications, sometimes delayed, but I consistently get my text message and email notifications, although email is sometimes delayed.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Try what I suggested here: https://xdaforums.com/t/delayed-notification-problems-s21-ultra.4243105/

If that doesn't work, I'd suggest going to the Samsung community forums.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Just a guess...

Disable all power management... destroyer of worlds🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Which app are you using on your phone?

Samsung Calendar or Google Calendar?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Samsung. Zero trust in Gookill.

I rarely use it but never have issues when I do.

However I'm on a N10+ running Pie.

Regardless power management will cause all kinds of erratic behavior issues.

Try clearing the system cache as well.

A factory reset might clear it but it's likely to return. Find and correct the root cause instead.

Usually if I work an issue over for a few days or weeks I find the solution.

Do Google searches and cross platform with other models and OSs; many Samsung issues are long standing and persistent even after years🤣

This is many times the only option for troubleshooting newer models.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
And, then, people wonder why the iPhone sells.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
I've used Apples* and I hate them... no one wants a big sister except a gutless wimp🤣

I got a brain... I can work it out myself.

Overpriced memory and no SD cards make them useless lap dogs to me... I hate poodles.

My 10+ looks so much better, looks and behaves exactly how >I< want it too.

Boosting close to a tb of storage, 12 gb of ram, there's not an Apple that can fullfill its mission.

I've used Androids for over 7 years (much of that time on outdated OS versions) and never had to do even one factory reset due malware. So Apple "security" means absolutely nothing to me.

*they run well and look like hell🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Google Calendar is working fine for me but Gmail is giving me trouble now.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Will it manually sync?

That's all you really need and probably want.

Make sure there's no firewall blocking it🤣

Try clearing all data in Google Play Services (painless).

Try the factory load version.

Reboots are rarely needed on Android but Playstore and occasionally Gmail can be problem brats.

Double check all those damn Gookill settings😖

If it keeps giving you trouble try deleting then recreating your Google account.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagiag:
Same problem here tried everything but nothing works .

when I'm open my screen I got a thousand notifications sounds from all of my apps .

I really can't understand that
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Do you know if it's Play Services that handles our notifications?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagiag:
I'm not sure

But as end user I done the recommended steps regarding the battery optimization processes.

Honestly my choices now is to root my device and change ROM

Or sell the device

Shame on you Samsung
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Do you leave AOD ON or OFF?

I'm going to leave it ON and see if it helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Doesn't help.

I'm literally not getting notifications unless I unlock the phone.

What a joke.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagiag:
Same I tried both of the scenarios always on and always off .

It's not help unfortunately

In my case I'm getting notifications from Samsung apps

And Gmail for example and my work mail application.

But from the local news apps

From ebay , Amazon etc

Nothing until I unlock the screen
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Same account.

On Pixel and S21 Ultra.

I'm testing GMail by sending myself emails and testing GCalendar by creating events online.

The Pixel responds immediately as it should.

The S21 Ultra required me to unlock the screen for it to check. I've tried multiple things now.

Such a shame.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sagiag:
Unfortunately I think that I will root my device and change the ROM

The problem is that I will trigger KNOX and than it will be impossible for me to sell it in the future
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
You probably missed something in settings. Samsung's offers a lot more customization than Pixel.

Samsung's can be a handful until you sort them out... play with it.

Don't get fixated on one small issue.

Rule #1 to avoid erratic behavior, do not enable any power management🤣

Set the power profile to Optimized or higher and toggle on fast charging. Done.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
The infuriating part is it's impossible to tell *WHICH SETTINGS* are causing the missed notifications.

When I followed the instructions to disable all power savings (see link to instructions in earlier posts above), I got my Google Calendar Notifications for that day.

But after rebooting my phone last night, I no longer receive Google Calendar Notifications. I verified my power savings options are all turned off.

I've now turned off my personal ad-blocking firewall to see if that helps. It's not been an issue in years past.

I just want to disable everything as a test case to try to receive Google Calendar Notifications. I simply cannot see any other settings to change, but who knows maybe there is some weird setting that could affect notifications but it's totally non-intuitive?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
I'm using dns.adguard.com as a "Private DNS" in Android.

Let me see if turning that off helps.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Can someone try turning off Notification History and see if that helps?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Make sure they have permission to use memory.

Go through -all- the bloody Google settings too both online and offline.

Try deleting and recreating the account🤣

I dropped my reliance on Google apps because invariably they eventually screw them up.

Try going back to factory loads on all that junk.

Google updates are known to cause issues. I rarely if ever update any Google apps including system; learned the hard way.

Use the Samsung calendar if that works for you.

Samsung is notorious for their hidden menus; some are completely unmarked it's not just Developer options. Some of the sub menus are easy to miss as well.

Double tapping everything became a habit🤣

Try using the search function in settings, occasionally it's useful.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
OK. I turned off Notification History and everything seems to be working now.

I didn't change my private DNS setting (dns.adguard.com).

I'll continue to test this throughout the day and report back.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
You be better off not using an app that's internet connection dependent especially for critical calendar appointments.

AdGaurd may well be the roach in the salad.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
It's not hyper critical for me, but, notifications must come through ASAP.

It isn't adguard DNS that's causing this issue.

There is most definitely some inconsistency in the system here.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
If it's running on 11 that might be part of the problem. Pie is a better OS with more troubleshooting tools available.

In many ways Google dropped the ball Apple big sister bad with Q and 11.

I don't have much experience troubleshooting Google notifications other than trying to exterminate them🤣

Android Services (UID 1000) may need free access to the internet and maybe a few others for what you want to work. It pings the internet every 20-30 seconds.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
I think that going into settings and toggling Notification History on-off and Lock Screen notification details on-off may help.

But, how often would we have to do this?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Try clearing the system cache.

If you did any major firmware updates or if other evil things have happened, it's factory reset time.

3rd party app installs/uninstalls can occasionally toggle settings not accessible to the non-rooted user. That's fun🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
How do you clear the system cache?

Also, I need to test if this is happening with anything other than GMail and GCal.

What other app can I test this on?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Boot menu. If not there it's under storage management on some non-Samsung phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Call me a sissy. But, I don't think I should have to fix these glaring mistakes made by Samsung and Google through a cache reset.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
That's basic Android maintenance.

You can do a factory reset instead if you prefer 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
Don't feel safe even If you do get your phone to a point where it seems to be working fine.

Try rebooting the phone and see if the problems come right back.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
If I turn off the optimize battery setting on multiple apps, then, will it allow me to undo all these changes all at once by hiting "Reset app preferences"?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
If you reset app preferences it's global*... 😳

Developer options>standby apps, if all buckets show as active, power management is disabled.

*I've never used this as it's akin to doing a factory reset leaving behind almost the same mess with less chance of fixing the issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Everything shows as active.

I don't think hitting reset on that app preferences is such a big deal unless you've micromanaged way too much.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
If you didn't micromanage too much to begin with it's not needed as you simply undo the changes -you- made🤣

I never use it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
Just following up that I confirmed this problem using the "Notification History" setting, which proves that my missing Google Calendar event notifications are not even showing up in the Notification History. I had 8 notifications set up over the last 24 hours, but only 4 of them show up in Notification History.

I've disabled Notification History to see if that helps affect whether the Google Calendar Notifications will trigger. I'll continue to monitor.

If anyone has more tips on settings to change or disable, I'm all ears.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Yeah, my notifications for GMail don't show unless I unlock the phone or play with my Fit2 watch.

It's highly inconsistent to say the least.

With every other app, the notifications seem to work fine.

So, I'm guessing that it's a Google/Android 11 thing.

My Android 10 Pixel works just fine with notifications.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] KingFatty:
OK my next troubleshooting step is to try going into the app settings for Google Calendar, and deleting the cache and data, then restarting.

Apparently the Gmail delayed notifications might be solved this way, so I'm going to see if it helps with the Google Calendar missing notifications.
