[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Splashy2k:
Since I've been having problems with the Galaxy Watch 4 update, I reset the watch and now Google Pay stopped working.

I've tried adding different cards many times and now I can't add them to my S21 Ultra.

I contacted the credit card company and they said the cards aren't blocked and that it should work but it doesn't work on the S21 Ultra or on the watch.

I tried deleting the cards and the app and adding them again but it doesn't work.

Any idea would be appreciated.

Thanks for the detailed instructions.

Please fix two minor typos: In the Odin instructions, the files should be hero2lte* not herolte*.

Re Magisk: 24.0, I suppose, should be used / upgraded to. (I've run into issues with 24.2 on another platform.)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] djibe89:
Hi, you are correct and I'll fix glitch.

For Magisk, as you report bugs, I'll wait to move to 24.x. You can create an Issue here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/issues

Then

Reboot to Recovery

Reboot to recovery

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] zulwik:
I solved problem.

I installed older version TWRP with Odin and new version
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Bujiraso:
hey @djibe89 & other XDA folks, thanks for these steps.

I have a SMG935W8 and currently borked on the BiTGApps step. All proceeded smoothly until there and now I'm seeing an error on TWRP and I'm not really sure how to resolve it.

It's complaining that the install config is not found and that it's an unsupported Android SDK version, which doesn't seem quite right.

Any tips would be highly appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Bujiraso:
Judging from my deep dive, the current LineageOS 19.1 builds are SDK 32, and the BiTGapps builds only support up to 31... Definitely looking for tips, still.

Going to try this post's GApps
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] djibe89:
Hi, for now, stick to latest LOS 19 build: https://github.com/ivanmeler/ota_provider/releases/tag/herolte_lineage-19.0_1646935359, not 19.1
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] djibe89:
Or could you try NikGapps and tell us?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Bujiraso:
Thanks @djibe89 ! I went with NikGapps and that was a win.

It might be good to edit the top post to say 19.0 or have the NikGapps linked in it, for future readers.

Phone's working great. I appreciate it!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] djibe89:
Hi, I'll update it.

I hoped a newer BitGapps update would be released by now.

Enjoy, this phone is awesome
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Bujiraso:
Hey again!

Been daily driving this for a bit and here's a laundry list of the issues I see, in no order at all.

I'm not sure if they're Lineage issues or artifacts of being an "unsupported" Lineage build.

1. The screen just stays on despite the power save settings (I've tried 15s, 30s, you name it) if I'm on the home screen. Trebuchet, is it?

It's like it has some keep alive function a la YouTube. It's not 100% but it seems far more than 50% of the time that I have to manually lock the device. Anyone know if I've just configured something wrong or if this is how the launcher is supposed to work?

2. Phone services will not stop demanding my location, no matter what I configure. It's every few minutes and it's creeping me out a ton. Why is it so nosey?

3. The call audio quality is still barely usable. While I *can* have intelligible business conversations when required, they suffer the quality noticeably and are terribly robotic and tinny. For personal calls, I tried to play it off once but immediately was laughed out of the call: they asked before even a "how are you" could pass if we could switch to VoIP since it was so comically bad. After some kind tips from Ivan I tried mucking with the mixer levels to no avail. They did seem a bit "low" compared to the 18.1/19.0 values, so I pumped them in a couple places (NB volume from 22 to 32, call default volume on 917 from 98 to 164 -- I have no clue what any of these mean). It might be louder now? It's not worth an A/B test to confirm what should be the expectation, but my point is that it didn't fix the robotic, tinny quality.

4. Banking app complains of the device being rooted, but it isn't. "Great." I hear the latest Zygisk might fix? I haven't tried yet.

Now, I'm still excited to be on 12L! I'm trying to buff my ability to dev on this ROM and fix up some of these issues, as I really don't think this phone needs to be replaced yet, but being stuck on stock Oreo isn't working either, so I say let's hack this thing till it's stable as stock!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] djibe89:
Hi @Bujiraso , thanks for sharing.

Didn't use it on a daily basis :(

Have you tried another launcher ?

I think bank apps detect custom ROM, nothing can be done. Hope I'm wrong. Some genius of signature spoofing can pass this I believe. But I'm not.

Only Android 8 ROMs: https://xdaforums.com/f/samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-snapdragon-roms-kernels.5975/

You can't fix it then. You have to open up your phone and use BROM MODE.

My question is, what will break or not work?

Will Wifi Calling still work?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] blackhawk:
Don't think you'll see a huge difference.

I have two N10+'s, one's a U1, the other a U variant.

Optimizing is almost identical for both aside from the bloatware on both. The U1 is far from bloatware free. I use Package Disabler to tone both down, the block lists for both is very similar aside from their respective indigenous AT&T/U1 bloatware.

Both run nearly identically even though the AT&T variant is on Pie, the unlocked variant is on Q.

It's quit possible you will lose functionality or gain little. Some of the AT&T apps I block you may want as I don't use wifi. Tethering may also be an issue with the unlocked variant; I haven't tested that function. Both connect the same to the internet, for phone and texting.

Your time would likely be better spent optimizing the device I think. For the N10+, the unlocked variant wasn't the golden egg I had hoped for🤣 Once optimized both run very good. Not optimized they are both bandwidth hungry, hot running battery hogs😳
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Aaron78:
Has anyone installed the U1 Firmware on S21 Ultra AT&T branded device?

This is not possible. In order to flash anything to the device, the bootloader must be unlocked. The whole point of the bootloader lock is to prevent flashing anything; firmware is updated via OTA.

I bought a Pixel3a XL off eBay. I thought the Pixel3a is capable of using eSIM. I am running Android 12. Hardware version MP1.0.

If I don't put a SIM in, I don't see any option to add a SIM card. Under "Network & internet", I don't have a "Operator" option. "SIMs" is grayed out. What do I need to do to use eSIM?

Oh well, I just found this info:

Get a SIM & add it to your Pixel phone - Pixel Phone Help

You can connect your phone to a mobile network with an active nano SIM card or eSIM. Without one, you’ll see a “No SIM card” message. Important: Some of these steps work only on Android 11 and

Apologies for the necro, but it seems likely that this was similar to what they did with the new-revision LeapPad Academy. They quietly released a hardware revision of the Epic/LeapPad Academy back in 2021 which replaces the MT8127 with a Rockchip RK3326, and they locked down the OS even further. It is however possible to boot from an SD card, assuming you are somehow able to dump the firmware and copy it to a spare SD. Maybe editing the system files would be a good entry point, idk.

[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] mirkol78:
I'm in Italy, with european versione of Z Flip 3 and I use regularly eSim and normal Sim.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3] 1dopewrx05:
Yes, technically all models of the Z-Flip 3 support eSIM as they aren't going to develop a separate hardware just to not include eSIM. Despite this, it is disabled on a kernel level and because the U/U1 are bootloader locked this is not changeable by us users. Unless Samsung decides to enable it (which they will never do) we won't have eSIM functionality on our SM-F711U/U1 devices.
