@blackhawk

Which one are you using?

If from the Google Play Store, can you post the link?

I'm currently using the PC tool ADB App Control. It's an awesome tool, but, neither it nor regular ADB commands are working in removing the T-Mobile Diagnostic Tool app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
This is the only one that consistently works year after year.

This recent version doesn't list Google play Services so I have to manually disable it in apps, WTF? It still lists and blocks AT&T updates from running though. It's a yearly subscription now and cloud based however once it's installed you can firewall block it (which I do) with no harm.

Package Disabler

The only NON-root solution that let’s you disable any unwanted packages that come pre-installed / installed with your phone / tablet.

www.packagedisabler.com

You can also call the carrier and have (demand🤣) them to disable it on their end. Did that with AT&T but if you get another device you'll need to do it again. It took some head banging to find an advance tech there to do it.

Good seeing you back. In regards to the S21U, I ordered one in 256GB from Samsung direct, had an issue and sent it back the next day, the screen on the particular one I had, had severe color shift even at a slightest angle. I just couldn't live with that. So now I'm back again in the Note 20U again, this time a mystic black TMO model. Previous was bronze and before that it was a white dual sim south American model and a few other devices in between. 🤣

I think I'm going to the same, and flash U1. There was also a lot of Sprint apps on it also.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] KOLIOSIS:
@Limeybastard

How ya liking the Sprint-TMo merger so far?

My phone hopping has slowed down somewhat, phones are getting too pricey & the pace of innovation has slowed a bit vs 2-3 yrs ago. 5G compatibility w/the imports is my biggest deterrent ,too bad,lot of cool devices from Xiaomi/Vivo/OPPO,etc.......

Definitely interested in going to US unlocked firmware,but,I came across a how-to thread here that seems to indicate swapping from U1 to carrier & vice-versa on BL2 is broke.

https://xdaforums.com/t/guide-odin-upgrading-flashing-and-n986u-to-n986u1-vice-versa.4182825/

Sounds like this applies to our phones.......or,am I missing something here
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Reference firewall, I tried using Karma firewall , but it creates a constant VPN connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
In my neck of the woods I have seen some slight improvement in 4G LTE speeds, I can also get a 5G signal which is unfortunately slower than LTE for me, so I just keep mine set to LTE 3g 2g etc mode.

The lack of carrier aggregation was my biggest turn off in regards to non USA devices. Lack of 5G not so much of a concern.

Unfortunately I updated mine to BL2 so if that's the case then we'll have to wait until U1 is available to us. Oh well. ..
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It's a VPN based firewall.

It uses almost no battery... is there something I missed?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Hang on a minute as my memory is getting awful with age, we're on bootloader 2 correct ? If memory serves me correctly we can't flash to U1 firmware bootloader version 1? But I think there is U1 firmware on bootloader version 2 available now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
No, thanks for the clarification. I tried it but panicked and uninstalled it 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I'm afraid you're correct. They want to lock you in to Android's flat spin to hell.

The AT&T 4G stock Note 10+/Pie performs well after some... adjustments🤣

That and maybe the Note 20U are the only Samsung's I would consider as Samsung's latter offerings are weak. Android 11 is a disaster and 10 is probably a downgrade from Pie.

Android is on track to be a flaming wreck if Gookill can't pull out of the flat spin it put its self in.

All in all I'm considering buying another Note 10+ 512gb 4G mostly for the extra ram. The 20U has faster memory/cpu but is handicapped by Q.

Slim pickens in my opinion... the N10+ is fast with a gorgeous display. It lacks the rounded corners displays which I loathe, being a CRT raised child🤣 The only downside to the perfectly square corners is the need for a good case. These corner hitting Notes will get destroyed without one.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I've been running it for about 6 months. It's always on as it cuts my battery usage by blocking apps like Android Services from constantly polling the internet. Accubattery is also a habitual offender.

It's been a valuable tool in tracking down battery hogs and data mining apps. I have yet to see any misbehavior from it. A near perfect app.

It's valuble logging feature doesn't work on Q and and above I been told. Thanks Gookill...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
You need to get a N20U, it'll all be good after a few tweaks. Try it , you'll thank me later. 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] warriorvibhu:
Yes it does apply to your phone if you have N986U or N986U1, actually it applies to many samsung phones just use the correct firmwares, I have used this on my Note 8 on bootloader v8.

True there are more than one Bootloader 2 firmwares of U1. Since i have not flashed U to U1 and Vice versa on Bootloader 2, I am not sure of data retention but ideally it should work without issues.

I have seen people having some issues when trying to Flash a U1 to U. That may be due to recently added E-sim functionality in Tmobile variant but i didnt come across any issues going from U to U1.

Happy Flashing to all.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Q concerns me... and the hump.

All the 20U's are running 5G. Not sure how that impacts battery life.

All I want right now is some strong coffee and a corojo cigar🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
The 5G can be turned off in the regular settings menu on the U1 and and TMobile U variant , I can't vouch for the ATT version though.

I'm currently using a Gear4 Battersea case and the back of device is flush with camera.

Just get it done before genuine new stock is depleted. I'm sure the production run of the N20U has already ended a few months ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I'm hedging my bets that Samsung puts out a new and better Note this year or next. The price tag on the 20U is still very steep.

Saw a new 10+ for $650 recently... maybe I should have grabbed it.

I'm really against rewarding suboptimal products from Samsung and Gookill Android with cash.

They both have been dropping the ball.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
The case in question. It’s flush at the back, I had to use screen protector for the back lens though.

Photos taken with iPhone 😂🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You know what I say🤣

hey-hey here's the one that you wanted,

hey-hey it's the super beast...

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
It wouldn't work for me, remember I squeeze too hard aka death grip 🤣😭 the more expensive the devices are the tighter I hold on to them. RSI here I come.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Maybe both of us hard hold them too hard; I had a slight tremor in my index finger/thumb for that last week from holding the phone... and maybe too much coffee🤣

I refuse to give either up.

Which is the most desirable 20U variant?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
How's your hands feel like after using a hedge trimmer ? Glass of water raise to mouth tremors 🤣
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
I removed usage access rights for TMobile diagnostics as well as File access. I completely forgot about this part.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Normally my hands are rock steady; a temporary tremor. Nonetheless they make you uneasy. They happen... as I sit here sipping more coffee🤣

Again, which is the most desirable 20U variant in your opinion?

Which can be rooted, just the international variants?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Sorry I forgot to answer your last paragraph, with desirable it depends , do you like bigger onboard storage? Do you like rose gold ? 😭

I'd recommend USA version or local regional version depending on where you are located. ( Mojave desert? Is USA right?). If you're going caseless then then the bronze one feels better in the hands. 512 or 128 of storage. I went for 128. But wouldn't say no to 512 , sweet spot for me currently is 256 which is only available on the international variants. Then again SD card slot is loaded with a storage card on mine as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The Mojave? I wish... just W TX🤣

Can the US variants be rooted?

I always go for max ram but since I use the SD card as a data drive internal memory can be 128 if it doesn't lose the max ram capacity.

The 20U uses the newer memory that uses 20% less current than the 10+. Although the 10+ with 12 gb of ram doesn't seem harsh on the battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
@butchieboy perhaps can let us know about it being rootable or not, last time I checked back in Jan when I was on here it was possible to unlock bootloader.

Things seem to have changed. There's this now...

[CLOSED][Android][UNSAMLOCK] Bootloader Unlock for Samsung US/Canada Devices

Important notice: If you are already updated post February 2021, do not update to April 2023 security update (XXXXXXXXXXWCX) or later. Examples: G998USQS6EWCA, N986USQU4HWD1. Samsung has patched the bootloader unlock again on those updates...

xdaforums.com
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Thank you.

Yes I remember seeing this. Most likely I would leave it stock and running on the loaded firmware version for the time being.

I have a lot of time but maybe not that much🤣

Picked up a Gerber Strongarm knife, fine blade version. Me likey.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
That brand of knife was well respected back when I lived in the UK. I've currently got a protech , it's handy for opening sealed phones for battery replacement ( JK ).
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] butchieboy:
Yes US 20 ultra can be bootloader unlocked and rooted as long as you are still on U1 or S1 bootloader. I don't think revision 2 bootloader can be rooted. I am rooted with Twrp.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] Limeybastard:
Scum of an app.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] jcsww:
Has anyone found a way to remove this junk? They just pushed a version in an update for the s23 Ultra that can no longer be removed using ADB.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Trace.Oneil:
Hello,so just to clarify this. I have already blocked ads online by using adguard in my phones dns setting,but i still have ads creeping in and taking over my social platforms such as my Facebook,Twitter,Instagram and Tumblr accounts eventhough i have done all i can in the apps settings to limit or partly block ads in each.

I still get way too many ads showing up and am tired of trying to block each and every ad that shows. Does anyone know of an effective way to completely block ads EVERYWHERE on Android without having to root my phone first? I am using an Xperia XZ2 running on Android 10. If anyone has a solution that works,please let me know.

Hi!

I flashed a T-Mobile MDA Touch plus with your Clean Black v2.0b yesterday. Everything seems to work exept the Data Connection, i can´t get internet access. I know from my diamond, that i get a automatted setup from t-mobile with all the connection setting. This isn´t comming on that nike. I found on the t-mobile homepage, that i can get an SMS with internet setting, this isn´t working too. i get an SMS with a code and with a hint, that a second sms will come with the settings, but this sms isn´t coming.

Do you have a hint for me how to get a data connection again?

Thanks1
