[LG V20 Questions & Answers] flairepathos.info:
Hi so there coulud be one of few/multiple causes, please attatch images of setup: the phone's battery area and battery connectors that were previously attached (edit in your question and attach there)

check also if you can extract the dump file for reason of boot failure (can be deduced also from looking at the boot image, I use hex editor for modifying boot.img but if you can decomiple it to a folder format or something(7zip) or other tools i was too lazy to use cause my laptop is trash then you can easily navigate to what you need to change so the phone doesnt fail to boot cause of that error )(I'm suggesting a different de-compiling tool from hex-editor because it'll drain you and its hard to tell what argument does what and causes the bootloop/ forced reboot)

You need it to be running in DC not AC current also the current and voltage must match that of the battery

then If that's not working your need to check the battery module if it was attached using 3 pins , flex cable(usually yellow,golden orange-ish cable . If its a 3 pin connector you could run it just by matching the battery stats(voltage and current)

if it was via a flex cable : match the battery stats then take the battery module open the battery a little bit and cut the cable halfway going in to the battery and connect the cut cables with your new power source then the flex in its rightful place

if both these methods fail you'll need to edit ; i think its in the system or the boot image to allow phone to run in AC

there is also a chance that the phone tried to temporarily increase intake and either failed to do so during a boot stage or the voltage module for your car is not dyanmic (phone asks for 1 more volt and the module says no and cuts the output , or phone says since youre not giving me this then something is wrong and i need to reboot(the phone part of controlling this is in the boot image )

I can't upload images or videos because of the capacity limit. Here's what I posted on my Google drive.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] flairepathos.info:
Its okay thank you, is it currently powered by ac or dc?

And were you able to check the current going to the phone and that of the battery to see if it's matching?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] flairepathos.info:
I attatched image of what phone checks for in power source

,at different boot stages it ask for different voltage and Ampere

I got this because im modding a Doogee Y9plus firmware

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Wait, you did what? Is the battery cell completely removed? Instead of mucking with the battery it be better to use the port connector to supply the nominal 5 volts of power to it. It may function with no battery, no guarantee as it may not (probably not) be able to meet peak wattage demands. Instead, replace with new battery and use the port power connector as you would normally. You should get a year or more out of the battery, hopefully.

You probably weren't supplying enough current.

For maximum wattage it should be supplying 4.3 VDC.

Minimum current is probably at least 1 amp; use a 5 amp supply to be on the safe side. Use 24 gauge multistrand twisted pair wire to connect.

It has to be clean DC too with no ripple or high frequency artifacts. A power filter maybe needed to clean it up.

The mobo battery input has no power filter on it whatsoever.

[General Questions and Answers] NeCrash:
Hi,

WTF happend to the option in chrome where to save downloads?

It seems like you can only change it to SD now, but it is buried in the android folder... Is there a way to change it directly to the folder emu..SD/downloads?

Searched for a few day, couldn't find any proper info on it.

Thanks in advanced
[General Questions and Answers] flairepathos.info:
Note: this will delete all data associated with chrome (stuff you logged in with chrome and possibly the things you downloaded as well)

Fix:

Disable the app and re-enable it (it'll go back to the first time you loaded it and download anything, you can choose where you want to save files)

The dock is now flat.

They removed the ability to put a dock image in the background. Result it is a flat aspect without relief. It's just horrible. I've been using it for about ten years and I'm really amazed at this step backwards. I hope others don't like it so that they give us the choice to have it or not. Thank you

What I am doing wrong?
[General Questions and Answers] V1369.:
Hello there! This is my first time in this forum so I apologize if this is not the right place to post this.

So, I need help with my Note 9

SM-N9600

One UI 2.5

Snapdragon I think

For a year or so now I've been having trouble with:

- Losing volume in my earbuds

- Experiencing lag in downloaded videos in Nike Training Club and Samsung Health apps

- And most recently the Google Play Store and LBRY apps have crashed a lot

It all first started after installing tutuapp. at first it was all normal but after a few months I first noticed my buds coming low in volume. Of course I visited every possible thread and blog and advice on the subject but nothing would work so eventually I went to a Samsung store and they offered to reinstall the firmware so I did.

It solved everything! until dummy me I reinstalled the app. It took a couple of months to realize that tutuapp was the source of all my troubles and when that happened I never installed it again, but... I now installed an APK and it happened again. It's worth mentioning that at the time I would only notice the low volume because I didn't use the exercise apps.

Anyhow, reinstalling firmware fixed it again and again (It took me a bit realizing that the APK was the source of trouble) until it didn't and now no matter how many times I reinstall it, my right bud is lower on volume and my left bud just sounds weird. Once I did a reset on the cache memory and it actually fixed the buds volume quality perfectly, although just for about a day and then back to broken.

So far it is clear to me that Samsung has no clue as to how to fix this issue nor care to fix it really, they find any little excuse to make their job easier instead of fixing stuff in my experience. Anyway, It's been so long and I'm a bit desperate to know exactly what the problem is, let alone fix it so I appreciate any help fixing this.

Please and thank you.

P.S.

I have posted this already in the Note 9 section but I posted here aswell due to an admin's advice as to get more exposure, a quicker answer and hopefully the attention of some android pro/veteran.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Verify the Buds are working normally on another device. If good try steps below, if not you got corrupted firmware on the Buds. Only Samsung can fix that.

Make sure your Wearables and Buds firmware are current.

Clear system cache, do a network reset and a hard reboot.

If still there start going through the settings. It may have toggle a visible one. Look under Advanced Sound Settings, play with those.

Go into Developer options and try toggling the codec setting, sometimes that will cause the needed reset.

Play with it.

It's better to find the root cause than to factory reset if possible otherwise it may reoccur.

If those don't get it... it likely is a hidden setting was toggled. Factory reload and don't use SmartSwitch!

Poorly 3rd apks that don't uninstall cleanly can break Androids. Limit apk sampling and well... now you know one of the risks. Being on Playstore is no guarantee something like this won't happen! Sample what you want now before the reload; install only known good apks after the reload.

Fun times, huh?🤣
[General Questions and Answers] V1369.:
Advanced sound settings and codec settings... do you mind elaborating on those? What am I looking for exactly?

No smartswitch... why is that?

The thing that makes the most sense to me is a hidden setting since I have tried everything for so long... but which setting?

Thanks for the quick reply
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Can say precisely where it it in Advanced sound settings as a Wearables update modified it on my device, that option is gone. Took Samsung years to fix that.

In Developer options it's under bluetooth settings.

If it's a hidden setting you have no access to it normally. You may be able to purge it by clearing the parent/dependency app's data. Obviously as a factory reset removes it, it's on the userdata partition but finding it can be difficult with no direct access.

Sometimes clearing system apks data in settings will leave a null mark and it will continue to misbehave. Been there, done that...🤣

I know that Package Disabler will completely clear the data. In your case that's probably not necessary. In my case PD MDM saved me a factory reset, one reason I wuv the app.
[General Questions and Answers] V1369.:
Thinking about it... I don't think the issue is so directly connected to the buds. I feel like the buds and these apps are just side effects, if that makes sense. Btw this very app is starting to crash aswell as LBRY.

Some time ago I reinstalled the firmware and applied a backup and because tutuapp was in the backup and the samsung technician told me those apps cause trouble, I could delete it and fixed it after another reinstall, that's when I discover the real cause.

Having said that, I think the issue remains inside some file or setting I don't ever look at or change and hides in it. It may sound weird but something like a contact or photos or something, and I mention those because I don't change anything around those places but then again... I'm just lost.

Anyway, thanks for your help, I'll look around your suggestion and if what I said above makes sense, I'd love more ideas.

Cheers

P.S. Bluetooth Audio Codec, found it!

It was on SBC, there are several options:

SBC

AAC

aptX

LDAC

Scalable Codec

All Codec

System Default Codec

Funny thing, if the option selected is not SBC, the word "streaming: AAC" appears in each case
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

First use another device to verify the Buds are working normally before you go all medieval on the phone. Buds tend to be very reliable but you know how that goes.

Sorry, forgot about SmartSwitch. It's ok to use on the same device/OS version otherwise don't particularly if backing up settings.

In your case it could import the setting causing this issue.

Next reload be careful what you load. 3rd party apps have the potential to cause a lot of trouble. I watch my downloads and apps like a hawk.
[General Questions and Answers] V1369.:
Yeah, after I solve this all 3rd party apps and apks are out of the question lol.

I have test the buds several times and it's definitively my phone, it sounds weird with every kind of earphones I have tested.

I snooped around the Codec thing and while it improves the audio quality, unfortunately I can still distinguish the bug in there so I guess I will just have to come up with something else.

Thanks a lot mate!
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Try doing a reset in the Wearables app that might purge the gremlin.

Wearables just updated, as usual Samsung made the interface worse, idiots. They buried the equalizer in the menu and put ambient sound control on top. A useless function I never use... morons. Guess I call them and chew them out a spell... I enjoy that🤣
[General Questions and Answers] V1369.:
Oh, I feel ya. They really care about selling fast against apple but leave all these products behind. Their customer service also sucks, they are only there to tell you that the bug is in you, not the device... it's horrible, it's a pity for such a great capable phone...

P.S. Just tried the wearable thing but no luck. I was just remembering that the last apk which I installed and broke everything for good was the note10+ star wars edition firmware... and of course it had a much bigger impact on the phone than tutuapp and other hacks for games... any known bugs from installing that?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Getting SK Samsung tech support on the phone is something I relish like a demon. They can not handle criticism at all and I just lay into them.

It's a cultural thing. They can't solve problems either which is probably just crap training.

Nothing should break firmware that a factory reset can't fix on Pie* and above. That sounds more like a rootkit than a just bad app. It may have damage the hardware if a factory reset didn't fix it.

Be careful what you install...

*pre Android 9 OS's are vulnerable to rootkits that can breach the userdata partition, a reflash is required to purge them. That vulnerability was patched on Android 9.

When you factory reset you wipe the userdata partition and viruses, rootkits, corrupted data, whatever ceases to exist.
[General Questions and Answers] V1369.:
Most def crap training, they know nothing but to make a quick reset or factory wipe...

Anyhow... that makes sense! I don't want to ask how does a rootkit damages hardware because I know it will be an extensive topic but if 3 firmware reinstalls (by this I mean firmware glash with odin by a samsung tech guy) didn't fix the issue, then for sure it is a hardware thing which makes things so much worse for me because it sounds expensive! Lol

How do I check my hardware's health?

P.S. is there any cheer pointa or medals I can give you throigh the app? I want to show my appreciation because you have really listened to my problem man. Even if I don't fix this, thanks a lot for your help and dedication.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Normally rootkits don't fry hardware but the firmware controls most of the hardware.

If the rootkit can't breach the userdata partition I doubt it would be able to damage hardware. I may be mistaken though.

You check hardware by function or lack off.

Not sure what advance testing is available for Android memory and the CPU other then bench mark apps... never had to do it.

It may have been damage by a drop or just a failure with no discernible cause. While the mobo has thermal auto shutdown it's still possible to overheat and damage components.

Especially if there's a fast temperature rise.

If it's the mobo you just replace it...
[General Questions and Answers] V1369.:
Hmmmm... what is mobo?

Is it possible that the SIM card is generating the issues? The card that has my phone number in it?

[General Questions and Answers] V1369.:
Hi man, I'm back. If you might considers to still help me I'd appreciate it. So far no tweak not tip you've given me has worked... what should I do?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Don't know. I just keep playing with it and reading about similar issues until I fix it.

Try in safe mode.

A 3rd party app may alter settings hidden from the user.

Or the solution may be hiding in plain sight. I was having a volume issue (went on for months) with a browser vid player until I realized it had a hidden volume slider by the mute button🤣

Factory reset if you're desperate but it may reoccur.
[General Questions and Answers] V1369.:
Alright then, thanks and cheers!
[General Questions and Answers] V1369.:
Hey man, just a final update, MoBo is fried or something aparently, I consulted a technician so that's why all the bugs. I'll save up to buy an iphone or something, I'm done with Samsung.

Anyways peace
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Factory reset.

Do Not update anything* after reloading, use factory base load only.

I use a Package Disabler and block about 80 apks including OTA, Samsung and Playstore updates.

If working start loading 3rd party apps but do not update anything.

If still not working reflash to the same version stock rom.

Samsung's generally run well with a little optimizing. I have two N10+'s and they run great, but I put a fair amount of time into it to get exactly what I want. An iPhone couldn't touch these N10+'s UI or functionality.

With Android especially Samsung you need to immerse yourself in it to get the most out of it. At some point it becomes second nature... I troubleshoot any issues that arise which is rare. My current OS load is over 1.5 years old on the one N10+, still fast and stable with minimum maintenance.

You said the problems started with an app. Not a drop or water exposure. It's likely that app altered a hidden user setting; uninstalling a poorly written app can still leave or create system changes that are impossible to easily reverse. It's rare but it happens.

A factory reset will fix this kind of issue.

*Karma Firewall can be used to block some updates. Works best with Android 9 or lower though.
[General Questions and Answers] V1369.:
One thing I didn't mention (I don't think so at least) is that shortly before I installed the app, I went to a samsung store to get my camera fixed (back then the N9 had a bug which made the camera malfunction) so they opened the phone and changed the whole camera. So my guess is they broke something inside which I never knew about until now. I mean, when the camera got fixed they gave me a broken fingerprint senson which they held responsability for and changed free of charge but I guess that wasn't the only thing that got broken.

I think you are right, I think some hidden setting changed and triggered all the issues but I have done more than 7 firmware reinstalls and factory setting and so far it hasn't work no matter what. I can't find myself fixing this issue.

I know iphone is not a great phone relative to the price but tbh I have never had any problem with iphone ever (i've had iphone 4s and 6s), in fact both of them still work just fine so I am willing to sacrifice some functionality and whatnot to be able to have some peace of mind on this issues not happening again
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
I hear you... at some point you just want it out of your face.

You can still buy new N10+ Snapdragon variant running on Android 10 for $800.

They run very good. My oldest is 2 years and had the battery replaced in April, that's its only repair.

It looks and runs like new. It's a solid Note.

I've used iPhones and while they run good, I just don't like their UI, especially settings. Having a 220gb music database automatically predisposes me to using Androids with SD card slots.
[General Questions and Answers] V1369.:
I'll think about it, thanks for the tip on the note10+.

Storage is def an issue, I also got like a 50GB music database but no SD card slot lol so I want a 500GB phone but I know it won't be cheaps.

Anyway, I just wanted to give you a final update, thanks for the help.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
The real advantage is you can use the SD card as a data drive. Loading a couple hundred gbs of data takes time.

Having it on the SD card eliminates that and gives a greater degree of data protection.

I can do a full reload from my SD card, no Playstore needed. I use ApkExport to make installable copies of all my apps.

The 10+ will take up to a 1tb* SD card. As long as it's V30 rated bandwidth isn't an issue. You can seamlessly watch vids or listen to wav files.

The reasons I choose the N10+ over the N20U are better color rendering**, no variable refresh rate or 5G (none 5G variant) issues, no Android 11 which is a dog, good battery life and no cam hump.

It's a compromise that works well for me.

*a V30 .5tb Sandisk extreme card is $70, add a Zizo Bolt case for $20 and you're go to go. Latter replace the factory screen protector with a Gorilla IQ Sheild wet apply one.

**the N10+'s display is still one of the best out there in terms of color rendering.
