Hello everybody

Is it possible to extract the ringtones and notification sounds from the watch so that they could be used on the phone? I tried downloading a few firmware files I found here, but was unable to find a way to extract them on my Mac to study them more closely. So if anyone knows anything about this subject, I would be grateful if they'd share their knowledge. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] xenofont:
I figured it out. In case anyone is interested, here they are:

Hello, can you please pose the ringtones again. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Ipse_Tase:
For a few years now, since I discovered Accubattery, I've keeping charges capped at 80% most of the time (sometimes you just know it's going to be a long day...).

My S7Edge battery after 5+ years it's still around 80% capacity...so the method works.

Before the S21 ultra I used a Huawei mate 20 pro...that one is still reporting 95% capacity after 2.5 years.

I don't understand for the life of me, why it's just Lenovo (laptops) and Asus (phones) that allow the user to predetermine a charge threshold....say 80% and stop once it's reached.

Hello Samsung???
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Many other laptop manufacturers allow you to set charging limits, like Dell.

SONY also -- both phones and laptops.

Samsung does have charging limits in BIOS I think.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] neilth:
I too have been using Accubattery with IFTTT and a smart plug for several years to limit charging to around 75% or so and have found very positive results with battery life extension on every device I’ve used this process on.

Since getting my S21U in February I have repeatedly asked Samsung tech support if there can be an option added to their Bixby Routines to end battery charging. They currently do provide options for fast charging, super fast charging & fast wireless charging in their Bixby Routines. The question is, would the present hardware configuration support the addition of an option to end charging at a user configured charge level. I have never received a response from Samsung concerning the possibility of adding such a feature to the S21U.

Maybe if they received a similar request from additional interested users, they would be motivated to look into adding what would be a very useful and valuable feature to their top of the line phone!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Even if Samsung doesn't top off at100% it would extend battery life, not shorten it.

People confuse Li charging characteristics with NiCads.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
I don't use AccuBattery. It isn't accurate IMO. I did buy it but it's just in my Google Play library now. And, I use Bixby Routines to notify me when the battery level reaches certain limits I've set. I wish there was a way to get these Bixby notifications to show up on my Fit2 watch.

This is easy to do if you root. I don't want to root.

Plus, ASUS and SONY both offer bypass-charging.

So, clearly, this can be done.

Samsung should add this to the Battery Guardian app as an advanced setting for "pro-users".

I already run the phone on the lowest possible settings (720p, 60fps, eye comfort shield, 70%, low power mode, etc.) and use a Bixby Routine to enable a high-quality mode (full resolution, adaptive 120fps, high brightness, 100% CPU, etc.) when I want to turn things up. I did set Thermal Guardian to the lowest setting.

I have an SD888 S21U.

Ordinarily, my Android phones die in 4 years max because the battery can't handle a simple app launch without shutting down. Of course, if it's connected to an outlet, it'll run just fine. As the battery degrades, if you draw more power/current from it, it'll fail to maintain voltage and boom: shut-down. I think this has to do with internal resistance building up from degradation.

This was "my fault" because I would leave the phone on 100% for at least 12 hours a day for 4 years straight. I also may have let it drain down to near 0 once or twice in its later years.

Now, after understanding Li-ion batteries: I'll replace my phone at year 4. But, I'll do so without having to ever worry about the longevity and quality of my battery at that point.

Also, if you buy a popular Samsung or iPhone -- you can buy a battery case 3 years into the phone's release date.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
"full_condition_soc = <0x5d>;" = 93% in decimal.

They seem to be doing SOME over-provisioning.

Some people with S8s have reported that their battery longevity is superior.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Battery Life ≠ Battery Longevity

And, can you give us an example of your positive experiences with limiting to 75%?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Over-provisioning is not proper battery terminology.

You mean a topping charge?

Given Samsung's past Li thermal runaway battery melee I doubt they would do that.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Over provisioning is what electric cars do.

They cycle you in 30-80% rather than 0-100%.

Read here: Lower charge voltages prolong battery life and electric vehicles and satellites take advantage of this.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Where did you ask them? I'd like to do the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
So you want to midrange power cycle the cell?

Samsung doesn't provide for that. On stock Samsung's you need to do it manually.

Accubattery has a audible high alert you can set.

In reality changing out the battery is no big deal once you see how it's done. Just take your time breaking the adhesive seals. Heat the rear panel first and use a little anhydrous isopropyl alcohol* to help break the bond especially on the battery.

Have all the tools you need beforehand.

Observe ESD protocols; at least have a RH of 40-70% in the room. The cleaner the better.

*never use around LCD displays as it will poison them! OLEDs etc, ok too.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Lol, I don't think bixby is that smart🤣

I completely disabled that turdware.

I read its EULA, no way. I firewall block Samsung out of my device as much as possible.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] neilth:
In the Samsung Members app in Community and under Get Help. There’s also an 800 number available in the app which I called and spoke with someone who thought the it would be a great option to be able to end charging in a Bixby Routin.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] neilth:
View attachment 5323967

Here’s two and a half years of battery history on my Pixel 2XL shown in AccuBattery from August 2018 to February 2021. It says at the top that battery capacity is still 97%, which I don’t believe can be true. But, the performance of the phone and battery is excellent. I would guess that the actual battery capacity is somewhere between 85 and 90%, much higher than it would be if I had been charging the battery to 100% instead of 76% or so every day.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Rather than change the battery -- you're better off buying a battery-case around year 3 of phone ownership. Similar cost and lower risk.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
You son of a b!tch, you did it, you actually did it!

THANK YOU!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Bixby Routines and Routines+ is decent and quick.

I did disable Bixby Voice itself as much as possible.

What firewall do you use?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Karma Firewall, freeware that uses almost no battery. I don't think it's logging feature is functional in Q and above, works fine with Pie.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
I have the Note 10+ and saw the repair reviews.

It's supposedly a hard fix. Nah, not the battery if you take your time. Had it changed out for $50 plus I got to watch and learn. It's charging and running like new again. Well worth the trouble.

Aging Li's are a risk that only increases with age.

My battery swelled and I was lucky it didn't damage the display. A thermal runaway also much more likely in that state.

Greatly reduced capacity (especially if it happens in a few days) and erratic fast charging are signs of a battery failure. Any swelling is a failure☠

Replace it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Remember that once a battery goes below 80% in capacity, it is basically unusable -- it will cause random or predictable shutdowns.

This is because it will fail to maintain adequate voltage when power-draw increases suddenly, like during an app launch or GPS call.

This is partly why Apple starts heavy throttling at 80% capacity in their batteries OR after an unpredicted shut down.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
I wish there was a non-VPN based firewall available for Android.

Google has to start working on that.

I need to be connected to a VPN at all times. So, I can't have this thing running also.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] neilth:
The IFTTT Android Device service can be configured to listen for a specific notification from a specific app such as when AccuBattery creates its audible alert signaling the desired charge level has been reached. IFTTT can then turn off the smart plug that the phone’s charger is plugged into automating the termination of charging. My phone charges every morning to 76% just before I wake up.

I did once replace the battery in a Nexus 6P, which was pretty easy, but that phone was not water resistant. On a water resistant phone, it’s a more difficult job I am sure.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Chargie, Smart Plugs, Timed Plugs, etc. are all decent options.

For phones, I'd prefer timers -- very cheap.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
That's too bad as it's a perfect app.

I rarely use VPN except for this.

Here's it's battery usage for the last 12 hours. If you don't view it, it's usage is almost nothing.

By blocking unwanted connections it saves bandwidth and battery as well enhacing security.

Rogue apks are easy to spot and either block or uninstall.

How is it on battery?

I run the 10+ pretty lean, get 7-10% @ hr battery life SOT with heavy usage.

As long as you take your time and don't force the rear cover and especially the battery when freeing them it isn't hard. Have the OEM seal or a good 3rd party replacement adhesive seals to preserve the water tightness. You need the picks, drivers, some fine tweezers, a heat gun/how to use it, and a way to inject the isopropyl alcohol. Bare in mind the individual assemblies are more susceptible to ESD damage once out of circuit. Many techs don't so I would prefer to do it myself next time🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Even Samsung allows charging limits, but sadly I've only seen it on their tablet. In fact it's a near flawless implementation. I have it on my Tab S7 under battery settings and is quite aptly called "protect battery".

See screenshots.

In fact, the feature recalibrates the battery to report 100% when it's actually at 85% so there's no confusion for the user (requires a restart when you toggle this setting)

I was pretty bummed they only allow this on the tablet and not on the phone. They obviously have the thing baked into OneUI, so it shouldn't be hard to implement it on the phone. I don't know what will get them to listen.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
We gotta set up a petition, boss.

I can't take a no mo.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] neilth:
Wow, I was not aware that they have this feature available on their tablets. What would be the best way to petition Samsung about adding this feature to the S21U?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
Samsung Members app may be the way to go.

I want them to allow us to set a maximum charge percent and allow bypass charging, both through the Battery Guardian app.

This way, only "prosumers" who know what they're doing will use this feature and avoid liability on Samsung's part.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] neilth:
Sounds good to me. Whatever works simply and reliably is the best option.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] sesnut:
its only on their tablets because people keep tablets for longer.

Most people get a new phone after 2 years and tend to use the entire battery more often, so they dont even bother
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Lol, Samsung would prefer to see customers replace their cell phones every year🤣

My Note 10+ battery made it for 1.5 years and failed like a stuck pig.

With the right tools and mindset battery replacement is still relatively easy and well worth the trouble. I've spent much more on cases and screen protectors. If I need to replace it ever year that's fine.

It's also good to inspect the battery for signs of out gassing and swelling. Once the capacity drops below 80% of its original SOT time, just replace it. Sudden capacity drops and erratic fast charging are strong indicators of a failed battery. It should be replaced asap. If the cover is bulging, there's no doubt about it and at that point it's a hazard.

It's not worth destroying a phone over a $10-20 battery!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] neilth:
I just viewed the S21U tear down on ifixit.com where I was sad to see that the phone only received a 3 out of 10 repairability rating. They stated that replacing the display or battery is more difficult than usual due to the amount of disassembly required and the presence of some very strong adhesives which must be removed to replace these components.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] nixnixnixnix4:
I wouldn't make much of that rating. Jerryrigeverything gives it a higher rating. At this point, it doesn't even matter. Just stick a battery-case on the thing at year 3 of ownership.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Can't be worse than my 10+🤣

Again the battery case is a real bad plan especially with an old battery.

Heat plus the high voltage on an old failing Li is just asking for it

No joke... just replace the battery, it's a cake walk.

If you are going to use an aftermarket/custom ROM, it needs to be made specifically for our variant, HD1925 (TMo branded, x55 5G modem).

I highly doubt you are going to get any GSI running unless there's a patch or other changes to make any or most GSIs work on the HD1925. And I've never seen anything mentioning that, but then again I haven't heavily researched GSI versions.
