[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
That's pretty funny as Samsung will take iPhones.

AT&T does as well... read the contract and conditions. I've unlocked 2 so far. Buying off the phone after 2 years nets you big savings at least with AT&T.

The updates aren't generally needed for Android 9 and higher useless you do stupid things.

That said there's no saving dumb bunnies... most malware is user loaded/downloaded.

I really don't do an incredible lot to secure Android 9 and it holds up very well.

Try this settings change for global ad blocking and it picks off some of the worst sites as well.

I also use some of the Samsung browser ad blocker plugins; that browser is somewhat vulnerable especially without them.

I had an ATT locked phone, and while it worked fine with some other carriers (Tmobile) it wouldn't work correct with Mint Mobile. I finally had to put the unlocked firmware on it which fixed the problem. This is with a Fold 3 and an S10.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Deleted member 3193942:
Variant color kept me from going the VZW route, but may reconsider. The $1000 is bill credits spread out over 3 yrs with a penalty of losing the credits if you just want to pay it off right?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
Honestly TMo in the past has had so little bloatware you could hardly tell the difference between the TMo branded Galaxy and the unlocked. Just the annoying magenta splash screen and boot sound.

That's never been the case. The Unlocked is always the last to get the updates. This gets discussed every year, with every Samsung device, and every major update.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
I usually get the carrier version then flash the corresponding U1 unlocked firmware. Best of both worlds, though be sure to carrier unlock the phone first if needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Markeee:
What happens if your on a U1 unlocked version running U1 firmware and you flash the U carrier version using Home CFC so not to wipe. Will you still get all the carrier version mess and bloatware ?

The reason I ask is there's a new update out for my Fold 3 but only the U carrier version is out not the U1

[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] Johncaffee:
Hi everybody.

For the OP 8 Pro, what's the best max voltage to preserve battery ?

And the best max amperage ?

And the best temperature ?

Thank you 😁
[OnePlus 8 Pro Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Less current, voltage and temperature is better.

However minimum start charge battery temperature should be 72F, 82-90F is better. Keep charging temperature below 100F, cool if needed.

NEVER attempt to charge if under 40°F💥

High temperature battery usage cut off should be 103F. Cool off or shutdown before 105F

Li's like frequent midrange power cycling ie 30-80% with 40-72% being near ideal.

When an Li has reached 80% of its original capacity* it's time to replace it. Be that a year or 3 years, just do it. It's not worth risking seriously damaging an expensive device over a cheap battery. They are born to die.

*degraded Li's are more likely to fail. A swollen battery is a failure, replace asap.

When trying to open an image, HTC Album opens and displays it correctly for a second, than closes itself. If I open HTC Album first and load the image from inside of it, it works just fine though. Initially, the file association for jpgs was

HTCAlbum.exe /%%1

Which just loaded HTC Album, without the image loaded. I've tried replacing it with:

HTCAlbum.exe /%1

and

HTCAlbum.exe %1

Which both resulted in the problem I stated above. Replacing it with:

HTCAlbum.exe "%1"

Resulted in HTC Album loaded without the image again. I'd greatly appreciate any help, I've already tried to search, but wasn't able to find anything. Thanks.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] saucysaulsbury:
I had this same issue or something similar just the other day. When i opened the album it shutdown right away. It turned out to be a corrupt picture. I deleted the picture and it started up every time just fine. Maybe it will work for you too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] bigchrizzieboy:
Same issue, solved it

I solved it by installing HTC Album 2.*** on my device (not memory card)

It doesn't say that it was already installed or something, just works fine now

Search the forums for "HTC album 2 cab" or something
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Themes and Apps] Sunookitsune:
saucysaulsbury - I can view albums just fine inside of HTC Album. The problem is with trying to open a picture from, for example, File Explorer.

2021年12月23日红奶Note11 5G版TWRP3.6.0自动镇流器发布：

这个案例是Unit 11 V-AB的深层结构。它不支持临时启动外观，很特别！

支持自动数据（数字和字符）

支持MTP adb fastbootd touch等

支持读写挂载逻辑（系统、厂商、产品）

添加强制刷官方ROM功能PAYLOAD格式

高级选项新增一键root设备，内置掩码版本为alphamagisk；

TWRP 是使用官方 V125.4 稳定内核制作的。由于系统原因，许多内核不是版本。进入TWRP，安装TWRP功能，一键将TWRP安装到手机上。

特别注意：此操作是用另一个引导槽和当前内存盘刷新内核TWRP到当前活动的引导分区。如果当前启动了这两个插槽，您可以在打开 WiFi 后启动手机。打不开；

出现这种现象时，进阶fastboot使用命令刷官方启动：fastboot flash boot_ab boot.img解压官方包

On December 23, 2021, Red Milk Note11 5G version TWRP3.6.0 automatic ballast was released:

This case is a deep structure of Unit 11 V-AB. It doesn't support temporary boot skins, it's special!

Support read and write mount logic (system, manufacturer, product)

Add forced flash official ROM function PAYLOAD format

The advanced option adds a one-click root device, and the built-in mask version is alphamagisk;

TWRP is made using the official V125.4 stable kernel. Many kernels are not versioned due to system reasons. Enter TWRP, install the TWRP function, and install TWRP on the phone with one click.

Special Note: This operation is to flash the kernel TWRP to the currently active boot partition with another boot slot and the current RAM disk. If both slots are currently activated, you can start the phone after turning on WiFi. cannot be opened;

When this phenomenon occurs, the advanced fastboot uses the command to flash the official boot: fastboot flash boot_ab boot.img to decompress the official package

[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] onibla:
Hi guys,

There is any possibility to port OxygenOS on our Poco F2 pro?

I have notice that oneplus 8t has similar hardware configuration. But it use A/B slots ROM. I have already tried to flash in fastboot the oneplus 8t Rom on poco with insuccess.

Can you help me in this porting?

Starting from this

Oneplus_8T_OxygenOS_stock_ROM

I have extracted the rom [Payload.bin] to obtain single .img files using playload_Dumper

Now I have system.img; system_ext.img; product.img; dtbo.img; boot.img etc etc...

I know that our POCO F2 pro use SUPER.IMG in its rom.

How I can do fit system.img/system_ext.img to SUPER.IMG (tath include system.img; product.img and vendor.img????

Thanks to all
[Xiaomi Poco F2 Pro (Redmi K30 Pro) Questions & Ans] Stephanizgo:
I have some knowledge of porting,, you're going to have to first try flashing the images in fastbootd. You'll going to need MIO kitchen for PC or if you're like some more experienced people, use UKA tool. I have experience with both tools and came to the verdict that it's better on PC, the tool has essentially the same workflow, but UKA is cli based app compiled with Android NDK, while MIO is like this gui windows/linux app. In this example I'm going to use MIO, because I like working on PC better. The app is in traditional Chinese by default so you're going to need to switch it to English or whatever language you understand. Make a new project (this basically just creates an empty folder), drag your system,.img system_ext.img and product.img to that folder.band make another project called port. Drag there the OnePlus 8t images. Unpack both products: to do that in the drop down menu where it says .dat.br select .img and extract everything except the vendor, we won't need him as we're going to use stock miui vendor to boot, because porting vendor is really difficult, well, it's not, but I haven't succeeded in it yet. Put the contents of my_ partitions into system partition root folder. in product replace android hw overlay and android devices overlay. Maybe you'll need also phh init a14. Also edit build props to match your device. Repack the images, add vendor.img from MIUI, porting is most of the time just flashing bare images, but in oos you have to put my_ partitions into system partition, otherwise they won't get mounted happy porting

[General Questions and Answers] Sonia2001:
Hi

Can you please recommend me a phone that wont distort my face a lot and wont make It look long and droopy?

I know all phones have some face distortion of the front camera, but my last 2 phones Xiaomi Redmi 7 and Huawei P9 Lite Make a huge distortion and deform the face. They make the face very long and like if I have a square jaw and droopy lower face jowls. I Am 21 Years old so i don't Have any jowls or droopy face in real life, I even visited a plastic surgeon who told me my face looks fine, and it is phone distortion. I hace try my front camera on my parents and friends and it distort and deform their faces too.

The distortion is very big, not just a Little bit, and it is happening on videos with the front camera as well.

I have not been able to upload pictures to my Instagram due this problem for the Last 2 Years. :(

I want to change my phone, but I dont want this problem happening again, and I dont know which phone should I buy., I want a phone that take normal pictures, so I can use them in social media.

The only feature I care about the phone I want to buy is that it does not deform the face extremely, and it does not elongate it, I dont care about any other feature.

I hope someone can advice me, thanks in advance.

Change the shot angle and/or distance.

Cams don't make as much of a difference as the shooter does...
[General Questions and Answers] Sonia2001:
Thanks :), I have try with all shot angles and distances ( desperate not to be able to upload a single picture on Instagram, so I spent many hours taking pictures from all angles and distances) , and it does not help, even with a selfie stick it make the head and the face super long and skinny ( both Xiaomi and huawei phones), the face look more like an ugly cartoon than like a normal girl. I am sure it is a lens problem, as I never had that problem with any of my previous phones. That is why I want to buy a new one. The faces of instagram influencers are not elongated or deformed, so there must be some brand phones that dont cause that problem. Even if I try an Instagram vídeo with ig filter the face look distorted.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
Absolute correct: It's never the camera what malfunctions, but depending on the lighting or distance from the camera, one looks different.

It is due to the inability of OP to photograph properly.

OP should use the rear camera, move away from the camera and zoom in 2x-3x, then the elongated face will disappear. :)
[General Questions and Answers] Sonia2001:
That is interesting, but i need a phone that I can use the front camera, as I want to use real time filters and real time digiital make up while I do videos, and see which poses and facial expresions am I doing before taking my pictures, I dont want to take pictures with the rear camera, and mostly any girl use rear one when taking pictures and videos for social media, and my other previous phone did not have this problem, so I am sure some phone brands dont distort the face as much as my Xiaomi and Huawei. I had a Sony Xperia before that took nice pictures with the front camera.

I will try moving the camera away and zoom it, but still want a new phone that dont distort so much.

Thanks :)

They are simply mirrored images.

However the photo image is incorrect as it should be a mirror image as well🤣

Be then they are all photos...
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
When you take a photo of yourself using some ( but not all ) apps or the front-facing camera on a phone, the resulting image captures your face as others see it: it's not the image you see when you look into a mirror.

That's why so many people are horrified when they see photos of themselves.

This is not the case of my phone problem, as I have had tons of mobiles sinceramente I was 10 years old, and I am used to see myself in pictures. I am not comparing myself with the mirror image!!!! I look fine on my friends phones and in my previous phones, my mom has the same phone than me and have the same problem, she takes pictures fron my aunty phone to be able to upload them.

I am not asking how to fix the phones cámaras, I am just asking which brand and model dont have this problem to buy it, the distorsión on my phones is not just a little bit like the pictures you uploaded, it is a huge distortion, whhen my friends try my phones it distort their face big time too .

Any young girl and many middle aged women spend really a lot of time taking selfies, so we all know how we normally look in phones. It is not my first phone or the first time I take a front camera picture as to freak out cos I look different than the mirror.

I upload a picture ,( not me, but a guy who wortte an article about this subject) but an example of my problem.

My face in other phones look maybe like the 2nd picture, on my phone it looks completely distorted ( not a bit) like the Last picture of the guy. And uy look like that fron far away too. not only in me, buy anyone using my phone look deformed in the picture or video.

I just want a phone that the lens is not so screw up that deform the face completely.

Good morning, XDA universe! Allow me to commence the day with a radio... hmmm... Moderator Announcement!

Within less than 12 hours after the last thread cleaning by my esteemed team mate @mrjuniork I had to clean it again! And believe me, enough is enough!

Members, and it doesn't matter if mature, long-time or really new ones, who post a question do that because THEY have a quite often serious problem that might be none for others or could be neglected in other member's views.

But we're happy that new people permanently find their way to XDA in order to ask their questions and to seek support here. We do encourage this!

If you can't or don't want to follow above guidance just move on without posting. But if you post do it without making jokes of the enquirer or by belittling somebody. Be aware that both can be read as disrespect towards a XDA member and might lead to consequences to an account.

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] val_hristov:
Hi guys,

Yesterday I installed Manilla 2D, update 19a on my Artemis. My OS is the original HTC WM 6. I don't have anything else installed (reset the storage before installing M2D). It seems that some of the tabs in M2D do not respond on tapping. For example, I cannot add contacts in the Contacts tab (I have contacts in my list, though). The same is with the programs, weather and options tabs. The SMS, music and email tabs are working as expected.

I was unable to find posts with similar problem, so I suppose that I am doing something wrong. Can anyone help? Should I post this question in D&H?

Thank you in advance,
