[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
That's not encouraging... a lamination failure.

It sounds like one of those self adhesive screen protectors that I hate. However one of those cost around $50 to buy and have applied.

Samsung's deductible of $250 more than covers the part and labor. That's not a good deal.

I'm not impressed with Samsung for they way they are fielding this expensive device.

It's doomed to fail at the fold, just a question of time. Samsung knows this all too well.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] abaceromx21:
I purchased a Samsung Galaxy FE unlocked, in Mexico, from a legitimate seller (Amazon). Of course, I was aware of the 4G only and Exynos processor situation, but still, it was fine for my regular needs.

The S20 FE was wrapped in the original sealed packing, so it looked well. However, when I opened it, the charger was not American type but European. That was weird... I initialized the phone and was fine. I started to install all my stuff, but when I tried to configure Samsung Pay, it said that the service was not supported on my phone (see picture 1).

View attachment 5423205

It was wrong because, in Mexico, we have Samsung Pay. So I did some research, and I found that my phone was from Chile looking at the service provider software version (see picture 2).

View attachment 5423207

The CHO code is for Chile.

Since asking for a phone change will take a long and, besides that, the phone works fine, I prefer to change the service provider software version to a Mexican one. Is it possible to do that? If so, does it make my phone "Mexican", so I can use SamsungPay? Please let me know.

¡¡Gracias!!

It is totally possible to just download the correct firmware and flashing it with Odin, should hopefully fix problems like this. The OP was right, the phone was grabbing Chilean CSC and applying its regional configurations.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid9684:
Hello. I have the G900V on Verizon and for the past couple days have been having trouble getting back to a stable rom. I've had signal drops at random especially when making calls and phone random reboots. I'm on lineage OS 14.1 / 18.1.

At times reverts to 3G and have to restart phone

Stock camera says "Media server died" and crashes

At times screen glitches out and can see artifacts

Phone gets super hot at times (Batteries are brand new)

Things i've tried numerous times over....

1. To restore backups on TWRP but sometimes getting error messages Error 255 and Signal 9

2. Restoring roms from stock but signal still drops (even when roms seems fine stock rom nothing restored)

3. Restored firmware thru odin

4. Flashed different version of TWRP

5. cleared out apps cache data for camera but still dies

6. Restored EFS (radios)

7. Re-installing roms from scratch with gapps and magisk

Currently again restoring Lineage 14.1 RR again now. Any ideas on what's wrong with my phone?

UPDATE: October 3rd I flashed a stock rom Android 5.0 LL. Went to use camera and it failed and my signal went out so sadly it's hardware failure for sure! Phone also keeps boot looping at random and real hot. I had this phone for 7 years guess it's time for a change.

Any thoughts on the S20 / S20 Ultra as an upgrade? Stay with Verizon or go to T-mobile? I read it can be rooted and have a paid service to have bootloader unlocked.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Try a known good stock rom to rule out a mobo failure.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid9684:
So I flashed back to stock 5.0 and sure enough went to open camera and it failed and my signal dropped and went out. It's confirmed hardware failure. I finally got back to Lineage 14.1 after like a dozen stuck boot loops it finally booted into the rom.

I'm thinking of upgrading to the S20 / S20 Ultra on either Verizon or T-Mobile. S21 has no expandable storage. I read the bootloader can be unlocked for a service fee and phone can be rooted. I run Mac so I do not have windows so hopefully I can do this!

What do you suggest for a new device? This is a very sad day for me! But it's time for new and better things! :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Sorry to hear that.

Avoid Android 11 at all costs. It's a dead rotting horse... a fubar.

I picked up a new unlocked Note 10+ 256gb, 12gb US Snapdragon variant running on Q for $800 a week ago. Overall Q has a few rude surprises but is far less restrictive than R.

If you like Notes, you'll love the 10+. I have two now. The first one is 2 year old and still looks and runs like new. One replacement battery in this heavily used device. Current stock OS load is 16 months old, still fast and stable with minimum maintenance.

This variant is not easy to root if that's your intention. Package Disabler though will let you clean it up nicely.

The 60hz display is still one of the best out there (excellent color, contrast, brightnessl, and even with older hardware it's downright snappy and fun to use. Even in a case because it's so thin it doesn't seem that big.

Get a Zizo Bolt case, put a .5-1tb V30 SD card in it and it's good to go

After the 10+ it's slim pickings from Samsung in my opinion... which is why I now have two🤣
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid9684:
Yeah I'd rather have the S20+ because its newer and it has the expandable sd card. The S10 / Note 10 is too old. This morning my phone finally got stuck in permeant boot loop and wont boot into any roms period after it was pretty much fine for about a week. Thanks for getting back to me I appreciate it.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid9684:
Plus the S10 Note 10 doesnt have 5G. The S20 was the first and the S20 plus has 5G mw vs the slower 5G speed on the regular S20. If I have to upgrade I might as well get a 5G device this time. My last 2/3 Androids were 4G since 2012.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
The 10+ is an exceptional phone. It's color rendering exceeds the N20U and new iPhone.

It depends entirely what you want to use it for though. The Snapdragon variant is a pain to root and I wouldn't recommended rooting it.

As a stock workhorse, watching vids and browsing it rocks. It's build and display qualities are exceptional which weighed heavily on my decision. My refusal to adapt R and no SD card sealed all the new junk's fate.

Lol, a faster processor and laser AF been nice but not at the cost of downgrading usability.

I will continue herding user friendly dinosaurs...🤣
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid9684:
I'm being told as long as the S20 has a bit 1 bootloader it can be unlocked and rooted. I'm looking on Swappa right now.

I don't like the fact years ago with the new phones they sealed the batteries making them non removable and some of the phones you cant use an external sd card. I'm not so much about the screen specs as I just want a phone that has 5G that can be rooted. I do like all the new phones come standard with OIS on the cameras, as a photographer with an old Nikon that will come in handy. I didn't like the fact the S5 pictures would come out shaky at times, the Note 4 had OIS tho. If they had made the S10 / Note 10 5G I would consider it! But I've been on 4G for nearly 10 years now and if I'm going to have to spend a bunch of money I might as well invest in newer technology. :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
I'm not sold on 5G. Many times it's net bandwidth increase is 20%. How badly it impacts battery life especially with less than optimum reception is a point of contention.

5G has shorter range and worse reach around objects than 4G. 4G should be around for another 10 years. Since I can browse and stream vids with no major issues I put 5G on the back burner. Lol, I still just adorn my 10+... so there's that. The square display, its 7mm thickness, it's stability, speed, all around usability and the spen really make it a killer phone even today.

I wouldn't recommend the 5G 10+ variant as it reportedly impacts power usage which is typical of the 1st generation of 5G. The Exynos chipset is a different animal from the Snapdragon. It may also have a different graphene heat sink on some of those phones. All Snapdragons variants to the best of my knowledge have the vapor cooled variant which is superior.

Be very careful buying any Samsung phone. A lot of misleading even outright fraud going on now.

Demand nothing less than full specs. Cross check device P/N and specs, always.

Many have reflashed roms and are the Exynos rather than the Snapdragon variants but the seller tries to hide that fact.

Best to talk to the seller by phone.

Buying a new older phone can be a better deal in spite of the higher price. The above issues are one of the reasons I rejected a N20U. A lot of the 8gb ram variants out there too and sellers trying to hide it, wtf? You want 12gb of ram if you can get it... it runs like a champ.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid9684:
Well I know my next phone won't be thru my provider or ebay that is for sure. I am putting trust into Swappa. I think I can email the seller but not able to call them. According to google the S20+ SM-G986U is a US variant with the snapdragon chip. They are unlocked meaning I can use them on any carrier. Swappa has a 30 day return policy and they verify devices. 5G is an investment and all devices are backward compatible. I know 5G has shorter reach but with it comes more speed. I was not aware of all the fraud going on with listings.

I had considered getting another Galaxy S5 or maybe a Note 4 but they are just too old. And knowing this one is in hardware failure isn't making me happy. I'm ok with 4G LTE but I just figure if i'm going to spend lots money might as well get something newer.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
This is who I used. They answer their phone.

Shipped 2 day FedEx free, no screwing around.

All was as speced except OS was Q not Pie; check manufactured date to avoid this from happening. I'm not blaming the vendor for this. They buy lots of new unsold phones and resell them.

I have a high confidence level with this vendor.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid9684:
I had a look on their site and They are kind of pricey but are these phones under warranty? They are brand new? I know the Ultra had camera problems vs the other 2 S20's. Oh lots people are trying to convert me to Apple iPhone still :ROFLMAO:. I do have a 2012 classic Macbook haha! I've compared both phones!

@TheMadScientist said I have to ask them what the firmware number is in order to be able to unlock bootloader thru SamPWND. https://xdaforums.com/t/sampwnd-usa-model-bl-unlock-info-u-u1-w.4201689/page-13#post-85751713
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
The warranty question is one I have as well but not too concerned. The 10+ Snapdragon's have a solid hardware track record. Just keep it in a good case...

I will ask next time I talk with them about the warranty.

If they're list as new; they are. Factory sealed. I scruntinized and tested mine hard, it is perfect. All factory plastic guards are present and no finger prints or micro scratches anywhere. They battery was quite low as expected when unboxed. Zero hours showing.

Display is perfect, tested with ScreenTest. It's snappy fast and getting good battery life so far.

Checked the ram usage, sensors, all good with nominal readings.

Connected straight up to phone/internet when I put my sim and SD cards in. Access the memory card data with no issues. Even Poweramp recognized the library on the data card instantly after I imported it's save settings.

Apple? Hell no. The color rendering tests for the 10+ exceed the newest Apple flagship phone in some respects. Although it has no high refresh rates it's color rendering make it still one of the best and stylish displays out there. I love the borderless design and square corners. Lol, the fact that I own 2 shows you I'm so jaded🤣

As for your latter question I don't know. I leave the boot loader alone. It's simply not worth it to me to risk trashing these phones as they run very well unrooted. This variant is hard to root.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid9684:
Meant to respond the other day. Your not BL unlocked and rooted? :oops: So today The seller you suggested finally got back to me about the firmware. They don't have that info so I guess i'll have to go with Swappa and get a mint like new device. I think Samsunghas a brighter display more nitz than iPhone from what I read. I know my S5 was hard to see during daylight tho. Is your phone easy on the pocket can it fit?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
The N10+ Snapdragon variant is notoriously hard to unlock the BL and root. Simply not worth the risk for me as it can run very well stock. My oldest one has been in service 2 years unrooted and runs great.

The Exynos variant are easy to root but have their own hardware issues. All Snapdragon variants use the preferred vapor phase/copper heatpipe, some of the Exynos variant are randomingly using the inferior graphene heatpipe.

If the actual Exynos chipset its self is inferior is another debate. I can't really comment on that with any authority or knowledge as I haven't researched it much. It may simply not have as good of an instruction set as the Snapdragon or deeper architecture differences. Both are 7 um chips.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid9684:
I'm guessing you have the Exynos and not the Snapdragon variant? I know Snapdragons are harder to unlock and root. I read something about the upcoming S22 snapdragon having a different cooling method than the current you mentioned used. I can't wait months for a new phone tho. I do not trust Ebay as a seller and unfortnantley the one you suggested is of no help regarding the firmware.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackhawk:
Both are running with Snapdragon, deliberately.

To me a having fast, stable platform that fun to use and fulfills its mission 100% is far more important than having the newest, fastest device.

Mind you, I wuv speed and hate to wait.

I hate endless troubleshooting even more...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Droid9684:
Right and that is what I want too in a device. I'm tired of flashing ROMS after having my S5. It was non stop this past week or so and it would just bootloop and freeze and drop calls no matter what ended up being bad logic motherboard (was having issues sporadically past couple months). I just want to be rooted stock for now and be able to make recieve calls, texts without issue and restore things to my phone. Troubleshootng can be more trouble than it's worth hense all that troubles with my S5 towards the EOL (End of life).

What does wuv speed mean?

I'm having a serious problem with sellers not being able to tell me the firmware build number for S20+ 986U. This is becoming such a hassle! I'm looking at brand new sealed in box on Ebay and used mint on Swappa. The seller from Fusion Electronixs says they cant just order a phone and turn it on to see build number. I did mention the box and to check that. Should I just take my chances and buy one off Ebay or Swappa without knowing the build number?

I know once I got a temp phone years ago on Ebay and it was not as described was a different S5.

1. An application that receives data from .zip.

1.2 Extract the file into a folder (eg download/name/[library.so, config.json]).

1.3 Read data from config.json (target package name).

2. Get pid from target package name.

2.2 Insert external library to target

External library as a mod menu (reference https://github.com/LGLTeam/Android-...0bd9653/app/src/main/jni/Includes/Utils.h#L61)

The problem is 2.2, which I don't know what to do. Or the keywords should I search for it?

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Questions] Xlainvous:
IDK if this is the correct area for this, but Imma try here anyways. My friend upgraded his old S8 to the S21 5G about 2-3 months ago and has been having problems since a Samsung firmware update said his device had an error that needed to be repaired and had pronmpted min to check for an update, which it apparently found, and he had attempted to download and install it while he slept. Well, he woke up to find that his phone was now on the Odin screen for some reason. He took it to a T-Mobile tech center and they were able to get past the Odin screen by doing a Soft-Reset (Power+Vol Down, then Power=Vol Up after the device shut off) and it had worked for about a month. Queue the current issue... He's right back where he started, supposed device error, update found, attempted download and install while he slept, and waking up to the Odin screen. Only this time, doing a Soft-Reset does nothing. We've tried multiple tech centers and they all say the only solution is a full firmware reinstall, or to send the device in to be serviced, either way, that's the cause of the next issue. He has never used a Cloud service of any kind to back up anything on his device, and in doing a reset or service, he'll lose everything on his device, which includes numbers of recent friends and co-workers, photos that had been transfered from his old S8 to the internal storage since the S21 doesnt have Sd/Tf support, and a ton of other important infot hat he can't just lose in the process. Is there anyway to figure out how to potentially install a firmware w/o losing all the internal storage or some off-device program that could remove them. I have tried many different programs that say they can do what we're trying to do, but none have worked or have been up-to-date enough to even support the S21. I'll attach a couple files to show what I recorded of the kernel and the boot screen issue from my phone of his phone.
