Ahh, ok... yeah, SD = Snapdragon. I guess I was having a slow day yesterday, haha.

Odin flashes shouldn't be any worse than other methods - in fact, it's what you would do if you're having problems, so it may be better than OTA flashes, which are upgrade only so they can make mistakes...

Generally speaking a "clean" flash is always best on most devices, and you can only get that with Odin, so I think you'd be better off with a clean flash to any version if you've only dealt with upgrade-flashes to-date.

Again, I don't think the ROM is necessarily the problem here. I'm thinking you have a setting or app that's causing your issues. I would suggest clean flashing and then not restoring all your google backed-up stuff, so that you can start clean and add/adjust things manually. I might suggest just starting with the basics at first, and seeing if that eliminates the problem. And then adding things back in carefully (you may even record what you've added in a document or something) so you can see when the problem starts happening.

And, IMO, I recommend NOT installing ANY "power saving" app at all. You shouldn't need it, but if you do install it, then only install one, and record when you did that, so you can see what really happens after it's installed, and whether it's actually saving any power.

Hi everyone,

I bought the Ainavi H6 for my golf 7 built in 2014.

Would it be possible to somehow continue to use the original microphone?

The Ainavi only has a normal jack connection.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] MKD99:
Hello guys!

I have a sim unlocked Galaxy S20 (SM-G980F) from Orange Romania and I want the new update (Android 12 and OneUI 4) and to get rid of the pre-installed apps from Orange. Apparently it is a known fact that some mobile network operators tend to postpone the new firmware updates (which I think it's stupid) because they have to 'test' it and load it with a bunch of useless apps that nobody needs. It wouldn't have been such a problem if this would happen in a timeframe of a few days, but usually it takes months. I contacted Orange and they said the upcoming update is being 'tested' and it will probably be released sometime in March (which again, it's just stupid).

I am looking for a way to change the Software Service Provider from ORO to ROM (or something else, to get the update directly from Samsung and not Orange); Samsung and Vodafone already rolled the update.

So, I have a few questions:

1. Can I change the Service Provider? (SM-G980F on Android 11)

1.1. If yes, how can I do it? Can you guys kindly guide me towards a tutorial?

1.2. Can I do it for free?

2. Should I just install a custom ROM? (I have seen many on this forum, but most of them seem to have problems if the high refresh rate is enabled etc... any reccomendations?)

Thank you guys! Any advice is much appreciated!

PS: I am kind of unfamiliar with these things, i used to flash custom ROMs on my old phones back when Cyanogenmod was a thing and I've used Android since 1.5. I don't know what changed and what's new so any help is welcome! Thank you!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] Akhil99:
So, the bloatware you talk about is located in /product , /hidden or /odm depending on how your phone is configured. I can help you out contact me on telegram @cha0scl0wn. Regards.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] MKD99:
Thank you guys so much for your replies!

I managed to launch the Preconfig dialog (dialing *#272*62826# in the stock phone app - other codes did not work, also tried the google phone app - nothing) but the only options to change the CSC are those in the picture (AMO - Orange Spain, FTM - Orange France etc). Basically I can select another Orange CSC which does not help. I want to change it to unbranded, to get the firmware updates directly from Samsung.

Now, if I root the phone, will I be able to change ORO to unbranded? But I'm a bit confused because rooting cancels OTAs, right? So I need to root, change CSC to unbranded (if possible) and then install the update myself? But then I will have to manually install every update?

If I root, change CSC to unbranded, install the update, unroot will I get the OTAs?

Rooting also kills Knox and Samsung Pay?

Thanks again guys for responding! I appreciate it! Cheers!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] sjevtic:
Wow--you got lucky: I wasn't expecting the dialer code to work based both on my own experience and reports here on the forum. The Preconfig dialog is really just a testing tool: it allows you to select other CSC codes that already exist within the firmware and see the effects of those setting changes. I don't know if there is an effective unbranded configuration included on the OXM package (i.e., similar to XAA in the OYN package).

I don't have a lot of experience with the OTA updates (all my devices are unlocked).

You'll still be able to select any CSC. I suppose in theory you could create your own CSC configuration for an imaginary carrier, but the route that I took was different. I stripped out all the unwanted junk out of the optics and prism images (along with de-bloating I did in a lot of other places in the ROM). I also edited all the XML configuration files that ship with the CSC to my liking (think: call recording on, shutter sound menu on, etc). After installing the resulting ROM, there was pretty much no carrier-specific software running on the device; splash screens, sounds, and other markings were also gone. I actually ended up adding a handful of carrier-specific content back to my ROM to get Wi-Fi calling working since it appears that the carrier I use (VZW) has a slightly nonstandard implementation of the feature.

But yes, once you head down this path, you'll be updating your phone by yourself, and it likely won't be the most enjoyable activity. I also don't feel the need for every single update, and I especially have no interest of moving to A12 in the foreseeable future.

Keep in mind that you should be able to pm disable bloatware packages that are really bothering you even without rooting/unlocking your bootloader.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] TheMusicMaster:
About 2 years ago, i had a HTC Wizard at that time, i bought a Sony MBR-100, this is a small battery-powered device which enables you to stream audio from your PDA to the device.

It has a 3,5 mm stereo head jack so you can hook it up to almost everything that produces sound.

I use this device every day now, i used to burn cd's for in my car, and ending up giving them away to friends after i got fed up with the music on it (usually after playing it for 4-5 times) but with this device i got rid of that problem :)

I simply drag the mp3 files onto my Diamond, connect with the device and enjoy the music on my car stereo.

I also use it to impress my friends, when i hook it up to my home stereo :D

Nobody i showed this to, knew this was even possible...

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 3] FlatEarthGary:
Hello there!

I have a Samsung Galaxy S20 Fe and a Galaxy Watch 3, both of them have an NFC card. I have found an app called NFC Card Emulator Pro (root) which can get the RFID from a card and then send it back through the phones NFC card, however you have to have a rooted device.

The thing is that I can't root my phone because I have apps such as banking apps as well as Snapchat which I have heard doesn't work well with a rooted device.

I want to be able to "scan" cards and get the information into my watch and then be able to transmit it through the NFC card so that the RFID card reader picks it up as it being the normal card. Specifically I have a gym membership card which I'd love to emulate through my watch.

I have no problem rooting my watch (Samsung Galaxy 3) for this to work provided it is even possible to root my watch, however, my phone needs to be unrooted as I explained above.

Thank you so much and have a great day!

I am afraid you may not find a battery more than 1340mAh that work well with GPS. Despite some battery supplier claimed that their battery works well with GPS, you should have read some users' feedback the results are negative. Perhaps you may wait HTC to release extended battery currently for Touch Pro for Diamond.

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] MArtyChubbs:
I've been a huge fan of the Pixel since the original XL. Dealing with this phone from day one has been a struggle. The voice dictation is terrible. The worst I've ever had on a pixel. Also the phone is my daily driver and sometimes I can't even work with this phone. Really holding out for an update to fix the phone so that I can love it, but I think I'm more patient than most. I feel like replying with a real world experience to every made by Google tweet, but I'm not out to jeopardize their business and I understand new tech takes a little while to achieve its full potential. But there needs to be some heads rolling at Google. There's been issues with every Google Pixel launch and this I think is the worst from my experience. I'm glad some others aren't experiencing what I'm going through. Lucky dogs 😁

MKBHD Slams Google Pixel 6 Pro's "Bad Experience"

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] V0latyle:
I'll say the same thing I said in another thread...

The Pixel 6 is a new platform on new hardware. There are going to be teething issues. Expecting perfection isn't realistic. Google has been using Snapdragon SoC's since the Nexus 4, and this is their first foray using their own hardware. When Apple introduced the A7 in the iPhone 5S, they had the same problem - a lot of stability and feature issues.

Remember that OEMs have to make compromises in order to get everything they want into a reasonable package. Bigger battery means less space for the electronics, and heat becomes a bigger problem. Bigger display and more powerful processor means more battery drain. With handheld devices, weight and size are significant issues as well.

If you want stability, there are other OEMs to choose from that are sticking to established hardware - such as Samsung, using both Qualcomm and their own Exynos systems. The Pixel series has been pretty solid up to this point, so while the 6 and 6 Pro have certainly had a lot of issues, the next generation will be improved, as will the next after that, and so on.

When you buy a Pixel, it's for vanilla Android with the Google experience. Don't expect much more than that.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Nekromantik:
why do people care what he thinks

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] d.cortez:
man, i really wish my experience was like yours. i bought into Google's P6 hype for sure... i purchased the phone for dual-sim connectivity so i could use one device for my personal and biz numbers. i started with an AT&T version, returned it due to connectivity issues, and purchased an unlocked version that "seemed" to work a little better. however, inconsistent connectivity (no cellular signal, dropped calls, dropped wifi) forced me to put the phone away for now, and switch to a dual-sim S21 Ultra. i'm willing to give Google a chance to address the connectivity issues, but my confidence in their ability to do so is pretty low right now.:cautious:
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] blackhawk:
Who? Twitter? 🤣🤣🤣 I never go there, same as FB, Instagram etc.

Purveyors of disinformation and censorship, at the best.

Really this is Google's doing and not singularly the P6 Pro itself; Android 12 is a huge part of the problem. Android 11 was no gem either.

Following Apple's lead like a lost puppy was one of their biggest mistakes. Google Android degrades their market edge by doing so and ultimately fails their customers.

A large part of Google's problem is that they are also control freaks. They want to push their cloud services at all costs even if it conflicts with the customer's best interests. They learned that from MS.

Who needs another bloody iPhone knock off?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] bobby janow:
I don't even know who that is, nor do I really care. However, and this is a big but, if he has a following of thousands of users who buy phones for multiple family members and go on social media platforms then it becomes a problem. Not here because it seems no one is on social media round these parts, but this is the extreme minority. So call it where it belongs, the phone is buggy.. big time. I'm not talking about battery life either, I'm talking about not being able to make a phone call or receive a text. That is major. If I want stability I go with one of the big guns, Apple or Google. Pure iPhone experience and pure Android experience. There is nothing pure about this Pixel 6 series. OEMs compromising and releasing a device that is obviously flawed is not a great model for success. I don't want a Samsung or an iPhone. I want a Pixel. There is absolutely no reason I should put up with a test device when they touted this as the phone of the year. Next generation doesn't interest me right about now. I want a phone with security updates that are current and a device that always can receive a phone call and text. It is not the Pixel 6 no matter how many excuses you can come up with.

If this was a test device at least tell me that. If they are working out problems fitting stuff in then let me know. I easily could have kept my pristine P5 but I was led to believe this was a finished product and, I repeat, the phone of the year. the iPhone killer the every other phone killer. Well the P6 just got killed by their own hands and if you can't admit it then nothing I can say will change your mind.

It's just one of the many bugs I'm dealing with, but by no means the end of the world... I ran the A12 betas on my 4XL and it was a rather good experience. Basically all the new features I use specific to the 6pro are broken. I'm hoping that January will be our lucky month

There are three hardware versions:

G8VOU (AU, US); also listed as G8V0U - zero instead of "oh" on some sites, Google shows the former, G8VOU) - has mmWave 5G support

GF5KQ (JP) - has mmWave 5G support

GLUOG (CA, DE, FR, GB, IE, TW) - no mmWave 5G support

For instance, my factory unlocked direct from Google in the United States Pixel 6 Pro 512 GB is a G8VOU. As far as I know, all other variations in each individual phone are controlled by software (which firmware is loaded) and over the internet (which IMEIs are Carrier Unlocked or not, and OEM Unlockable or not).

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] krips2003:
Hopefully, MKBHD tweet might make Google to speed up the update and make P6P more awesome than when it was released. As for myself, I don't have any major issue with my P6P apart from the new updates. If anyone moved from G21 Ultra or One+ 9, they won't see any benefit in performance from either of those phones or even Pixel 5. But someone like me who is upgrading a Pixel 3, or any other 2 or 3 year old phone, then they'll notice a difference of night and day. This applies to almost all the tech.

Him calling out his poor experience is nothing but a plus as far as I see it.

Because I mean let's not act like the current upgrade situation is normal.

Hell this forum has seen a fair share of people with issues.

Also it's a new SOC for google but all in all this isn't a consumer problem. People didn't sign up for a kick starter. They brought a phone marketed as a flagship from google.

That's like all the people that would make excuses for nexus devices calling them developer devices to make up for short comings. Sure developers may like it but Google to this day has never marketed it that way. My elderly father gives two squirts of piss if a tensor is ground breaking or a day old exynos. He cares he paid to buy a phone.
