Ok. I have a realme x7 MAX. ----RMX 3031

Realme UI version 2.0

Build number RMX3031_11_A.15

the june security update bricked my phone twice, and required a complete factory reset. Later the service center disabled automatic update.

now the July update is out. I want to know how to backup my phone completely so that in case this bricks my phone I can use my old image instead of the factory image.

I have adb installed and have used it to remove a lot of preinstalled programs

[OnePlus 6T  Themes, Apps, and Mods] AndroidQuanta:
Many of the posts on working with an external microphone suggests you use open camera app or G-cam port apk. Which accepts an external microphone. While Oxygen OS OTA updates do not seem to add this feature. Many of you purchased an expensive external microphone to use with a stock camera for OP6t. But it does not seem to work.

An alternative approach to this problem is for both rooted and non-rooted is to make a WhatsApp call. Your mic is connected through a USB-C adopter with 3.5mm jack input TRRS to TRRS 4 pole plug.

While in a voice call switch to the stock OS camera and then record.

While you are recording stop the WhatsApp call and then go on taking the input from the external mic. once recording stops you need to go through the whole process again and again.

However, sometimes if the call goes longer in ringing mode. If you delay disconnecting the call while recording, the sound may go out of sync for video and audio. It's better to disconnect the call as soon as you start recording the video. But this solution is problematic for content creators. If something or any other app that can emulate WhatsApp calls would be good enough to make OS think of that external mic as input. I already tried with the stock screen recording app which has a microphone option but it does not work either.

After going through google search, I am not sure anyone would have any other alternative solution like Magisk Module or Xposed modules for external mic or any other. This issue with the external mic is widely ignored for the stock camera. Reason to work with Stock Camera is to take advantage of OP6T's 4k60fps and its best way to take what OP6t has to offer. While other apps do this with 30fps.

For those who are content creators like making youtube videos etc, the solution to this problem would be a gift for all to take advantage of OP6T to its full potential. Let me know if this partial solution helps.

Hi all,

Ive tried to edit the T-Mobile WM theme to have the Full block black start bar that the HTC Black Theme has, but im getting the colour change brom black to grey on the bars. See the image attached.

My question is; Is there a way to make both the start bar and bottom bars to be pure black like the HTC theme has?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] Addicteddddd:
i don't know how but the answer is yes, check out Dutty's ROM, that has pure black as opposed to changing to grey at the top, maybe ask him or change your WM theme editor!

Yes, that is the exact description how Fastboot mode looks like. Fastboot mode means that your phone becomes a passive recipient of commands.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] piotrekbx:
Hi,

I'm trying to resolve my WiFi problems on Samsung S20 FE 5G. When I download large files (games, updates, big apps) WiFi speed drops from 300 Mbps (that's my provider speed) to < 10 Mbps or even completely stops. It happens after a few minutes of download (sometimes less) - the estimated download time goes from few minutes to few hours. If I continue to download speed usually goes up again after another few minutes. Or I can restart wifi/put phone in airplane mode/restart it - it restores normal WiFi speed.

What I've already tried but didn't help:

- reset phone network settings

- reset router to factory settings and tried changing some of its options

- changed WiFi channel

- checked in safe mode of the phone

- tried without my silicone case on the back of the phone (as it might be some overheating issue)

- set my WiFi network as unmeasured in the phone settings (don't know really if that's the correct name of this setting in English)

- set WiFi connection to use phone MAC address instead of random one

- disabled automatic switching to mobile data when wifi connection quality is poor

- update the phone to latest August version (Android 11)

- wipe cache partition

- turned on enchanced processing

On other devices in my network connection is stable with 300 Mbps - checked with Speedtest.net. On 2.4 GHz WiFi problem also occur but only sometimes - on 5 GHz it happens every time. I also didn't notice it on LTE.

It seems that it might be some overheating issue so I've installed CPU monitor to check it - during download temperature went up from 30 Celsius degrees to over 50, then the connection speed dropped, temperature went down to about 40 degrees Celsius and after some time the speed increased again.

Is there any thing I can also do before returning phone to Samsung service?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] _jis_:
Test your phone to see how it behaves on someone else's wi-fi network.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] piotrekbx:
I've checked it on 5GHz WiFi hotspot from another phone and speed throttling didn't occur, although the connection speed was about 40 Mbps. Later I've checked it on two different routers connected to my network and speed dropped multiple times. So it appears that the problem of WiFi speed throttling occurs only on faster connections, even if other devices connected to same network have no such problems
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] chromaniac:
Alright. So I got my unit today here in India. It's manufactured in India and is from September 2021 batch. And the first thing I noticed was that apps were downloading incredibly slow. After the phone was set up and fully charged. I did a speedtest, and I noticed that I was barely getting 10% of my connection speed. The phone was warm at this point of time. Left it for an hour. And wireless problems seem to be resolved.

It would be pretty annoying if this is definitely a throttling issue when the phone is warm. And this seems to be the only thread with this issue on XDA. There is no easy way to get a replacement unit. Amazon would send a tech person to my place and I would have to replicate the same situation to see if the throttling happens again. And entire process would be pointless if this is something by design.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Nevin jesmon:
I have the same issue and amazon has issued an end to end replacement for me I'm from India how's your device now all fine? have you tried resetting the device?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] rohan1310:
Facing the exact same issue. Have you managed to find a fix?

My network speed is around 230 mbps down and 28 mbps up, also have a Wi-Fi 6 Mesh router, all my devices including my previous phone get the correct speeds. Just got my S20FE today and it throttles down to 10-15 mbps...rebooted once and saw 200+ but goes back to slow speeds in no time.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Nevin jesmon:
Tried resetting? I'm gonna reset it very soon! btw what's the mgf date?.. Mine is Sept 2021
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] chromaniac:
Have you received the replacement unit? If yes, is this unit fine? Amazon is not issuing a direct replacement for me. They assigned a third party tech guy to visit me who closed my complaint without waiting for my feedback. I have managed to get another visit assigned but that adds 2 more days to the process and if nothing happens on that day, my replacement window would be very close.

Nope. I am trying to find out if this is a hardware issue or samsung is throttling wifi massively on this phone and a firmware update could possibly fix this. But since this phone is already nearly a year old, it seems unlikely that they messed it up in September update and that's why we are facing this issue.

Mine is also from September 2021 assembled in India. What a mess. I still have my S10 Lite with me and wi-fi performance on that phone is incredibly stable compared to this phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Nevin jesmon:
Try resetting it then it might fix the issue 😁
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] chromaniac:
I would be doing that tonight. But can you tell if you got the replacement unit already and if it is doing better than the first one? Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Nevin jesmon:
Nope it's my 1st unit! I'll let you know if I get a replacement can you please update me on the factory rest wthr it fixed the issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] chromaniac:
Would do in a couple of hours. It's just annoying that Amazon would not offer a replacement for manufacturing fault within the first week of purchase as per their own policy. And is forcing me to deal with third party outlets who are not going to understand the wi-fi stability issue on this device. They have a stupid app that tests phone and of course, it found my phone properly functional.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] chromaniac:

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Nevin jesmon:
Ohh great 😊 good luck mate update me on the factory reset tho
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] chromaniac:
heh. phone support guy said that since i already have a tech visit scheduled on 6th, he cannot do anything right now. but he assured me that if that visit does not create a replacement request, i should contact phone support again and they would it from their end. this whole thing is turning into a joke though.

i would do a reset tonight. and test the phone thoroughly through tomorrow. i was just hoping to find someone here who bought the phone during the current sale and got a unit that seems to have stable wi-fi on their phone. because that would indicate hardware fault and not something samsung messed up in their firmware update.

would keep you posted. and please you also update when you get your replacement unit and if it has the same issue or not! cheers.

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] viv29:
I have the same issue. Phone is manufactured in September 2021, it randomly throttles on WiFi, especially when the device gets a little warm. I have tried factory resetting as well, but it seems to be of no use. If someone got their replacement unit and that is fine, please do let us know here, seems like a lot of people are facing the same issue!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] chromaniac:
yeah. the throttling of wireless connectivity is really annoying. i noticed it when the phone took almost an hour to restore the phone. i am on a 300mbps connection and it really shouldn't have taken that long. checked wifi settings and saw that it was connected at 15mbps. downloading telegram took around 5 minutes which is when i realized that something was terribly wrong.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] chromaniac:
yup. this is exactly what happened during the restore process. phone was on charge and it was restoring and updating around 100 apps. internet was extremely slow at the time.

i have a feeling that this is a software issue. samsung is throttling wifi to save on battery or something. BUT. they have had almost a year to optimize wi-fi on this phone.

october update might have a fix assuming they know about this issue. but it is currently available only in europe. it's unlikely india is getting it this week. would have been nice to test out wifi after installing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] viv29:
I came across your review on Amazon, and it gave a sense of relief that I was not the only one. My whatsapp media took over 2 hours to restore which is when I knew something was wrong. I'll also apply for a replacement, but it is the same procedure for me as well where a technician has to visit first. Let's see.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] chromaniac:
based on my experience, they would try to settle the matter on phone. learn from my mistake.

they would ask you to reset the phone and do another test. tell them you have already done it and it has not fixed the issue. they might make more excuses. but try to get them to process a replacement request on that phone call if they are unwilling to visit.

to be honest, a visit from a tech guy is not going to help out. this is not a build quality issue. this is not a display tint issue. if you restart your phone and are on a fresh wifi connection, you would get proper speeds. even if you are able to show him slowdown, he would just restart the phone or turn off/on the wifi and the problem would be 'magically fixed'.

if the technician visit fails. get amazon support to call you and be firm and ask for a replacement (if you want to experiment with another unit) or refund (i am pretty much taking this direction now tbh). the replacement window is too small to wait for the october security update to see if it fixes this problem on indian units.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] viv29:
This is what I thought as well. Since all the previous reviews have not mentioned a word about any WiFi issues!

I know a person who has had the phone for 2/3 months. Will check with him if he faces this issue in the September update.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] chromaniac:
yes please. i cannot find anyone in my circle who has this phone. most people i imagine use cellular internet so might not have seen this issue. others might be on 40mbps airtel plans which probably would also not be very visible.

ask him to install the WiFiman app from Ubiquiti (if there is a better app to monitor wifi connection speed [not internet speed], do tell). On the second tab of this app, you can see wi-fi connection speed which is continuously updated. On my S10 Lite, it remains stable at 866mbps in close proximity to Archer C6. S20FE5G on the other hand dances between 8mbps and 866mbps. Most of the time it is stuck in 500-600mbps region.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Nevin jesmon:
This **** is soo annoying ig every September batch has a bad modem in it 🥲
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] chromaniac:
heh yeah. i was kind of worried when i saw made in india label on the box lol. looks like samsung prepared this batch specifically for the amazon sale. getting them assembled locally probably enabled them to offer a good price to amazon perhaps coz of low taxes.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Sudarshan61:
wow cant even imagine how widespread this issue will be

Samsung India is largest manufacturing base for Samsung. Most phones sold in India are Made in India this days.(Except S20 flagships and Fold series). Dont think quality will be compromised
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] chromaniac:
I understand that. And do hope that it is a firmware issue. But it's not a popular enough phone to make headlines to get Samsung to look into this issue or at least issue a statement. I have a thread about this on Samsung Forum and the official account told me to submit logs using their app. This is basically what they do in all threads but do not tell if the data was analyzed and any problems were discovered.

If they did not notice this problem during the manufacturing process, it's possible that October update is not going to fix it. All this is assuming that they can fix this problem through a software update.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Tool Belt:
Is this Snapdragon or Exynos?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] chromaniac:
SD. I am guessing ongoing Amazon sale on this phone would bring in a bit of traffic to this thread if this is not an isolated problem with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Tool Belt:
I have a US SD coming direct from Samsung. Hopefully this is not an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] viv29:
He claims to not have such issues. He's running the latest update as well, so I'm leaning towards believing that this is not a software issue. Anyways, I got a direct replacement booked by calling Amazon (thanks for the heads up, I'd have had to deal with the technician if done through app)

Hoping this doesn't occur on the replacement unit. Other than this issue I've really come to like the phone. Fingers crossed!
