Ok, have one other hopefully quick question.

I upgraded to opera mini 4.1, but when I press the t-zones button it still points to the old version 4.

How can I change where the t-zones button points to, so it opens the new version of Opera Mini.
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
opera mini

I'm having a problem with opera mini. I'm running rickwatts v24 no opera. After changing cprs, dll, and ttfs, decided to try opera mini 'cause I hear alot of people love it and prefer it over anything else.

I downloaded 4.1 from their website and installed it, now here's the problem.

My custom font is being used by the opera mini displaying everything on it, making it unreadable. I tried using the original cpr but even after the homescreen goes back to original, the opera mini still comes up with the altered font. I uninstalled it ,and reinstalled it and no difference. :(
[HTC Excalibur] stylez:
Answered this before for you http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2906257&postcount=101

Place the font in Win Dir and reboot :)
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
Sorry stylez but when you answer it for me I wasn't sure what you ment because I didn't have opera mini, I just got it installed today. Now it makes sense.
[HTC Excalibur] roloracer:
tahoma font.

Once again stylez you come thru for me. thanks, It worked.:D:D
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] SpookyPotato:
Hey everyone, having an issue with my LG G8. It is a sprint phone, however I was using it through T-Mobile. The problem came when I tried to switch to Mint Mobile, I am unable to edit any of the current APNs and I cannot select them or any new ones that I create. Because of this I have no data and cannot even call or text. Any help is appreciated!
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Pretty sure that running the Sprint rom, you won't find a way to make it work (properly) with t-mo mvno. Why not just cross-flash to US Open rom? My G8 has that rom and it works great with Mint, has volte and vowifi etc.

Mine is orig Sprint also, used remote unlock to unlock from Sprint. Then used Bkerler EDL utilities to completely backup Sprint rom (no kdz available, also, many of the files backed up now available could be needed later).

then use Netmsm guide to do crossflash, you don't have to root, but can if you want to. Since there won't be any more updates, really no reason not to. Latest (and probably last) version is a11. It works very well.

cheers

Hello. LG G8 ThinQ Unlocked (T-Mobile) here. Also got Mint Mobile. Everything works flawlessly w/o going through all that. Wi-Fi Calling, VoLTE, HD Voice+. Just wanted to say that we are getting Android 12. "Google is expected to release the stable Android 12 update by the end of August or within the first two weeks of September 2022 for the LG G8 ThinQ."
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] AsItLies:
Well, you "go through all that" if you don't happen to have a T-Mobile device. And, not sure where you're getting your information but, Google does not release the ROM for LG devices, LG does.
[LG G8 Questions & Answers] Shawn R:
Sorry for saying that. I didn't mean to sound rude or anything like that. I think you do great work on this website.

Hey guys, I've an oukitel wp17 and I can't boot into fastboot/recovery or system, it just stays in the Oukitel logo for eternity.

I've tried key combinations :

Power + Volume UP for Fastboot - Just boots into Oukitel logo screen and stays there

Power + Volume Down for Recovery - Does the same

Any ideas? I can't even find the phone in adb devices/fastboot devices

Hi!

Once upon a time i have an Artemis (p 3300) and that lovely machine has a program, that make my red 'close phone' button one exellent tool - when you hold it for 1 sec it vibrates once and close all apps, if you press it and hold it for 3 sec - it vibrates twice and free memory...

I want the same thing now.

Help, i want that cab!

Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] ErickF:
Does anyone know if there is a setting to only allow a message to be fully visible when face unlocked only? What I've seen so far is either allow the message to always be visible or always locked and just show the icon on lock screen. I would like it to be similar to the iPhone lock screen if that makes sense.

Arghhhhhhh my X1 is stuck in headset mode despite there being no headphones plugged it!!!!!!

I tried soft resetting and have no joy!!

Has this happened to anyone and does anyone have a solution???

It's very annoying!
[XPERIA X1 General] berlinberlin:
are you sure you havnt enabled a bluetooth headset somewhere?

try disabling bluetooth
[XPERIA X1 General] MrZippo:
Yeah I did this and still no joy!

In the end what I did was just got a paper clip and poked around in the 3.5mm headphone socket and it cured it!!!

I just hope it don't happen again as it is well annoy because I cannot answer calls.
[XPERIA X1 General] SCtud:
this happens with the iphone as well. somehow the device still registers it in there. just plug in the headphones again and take it out or wiggle it a little while it's in there before removing again.

basically the same thing as what you did with a paper clip, but probably a bit safer.
[XPERIA X1 General] fards:
its been a common fault on plenty of HTC phones over the years.
[XPERIA X1 General] Agaas:
Happend to me too. I solved it by plugging in some headphones, and while they while they were connected I restarted the phone. Then I just plugged them out and problem solved =)

I guess this is a bit safer than poking around in the hole, although I tried this aswell

[Sony Xperia 5 III] calamari:
I'm assuming I'm holding the phone wrong and the proximity sensor is allowing touches. When the other party couldn't hear me I saw that I was no longer even on the phone screen anymore, and couldn't figure out how to get back before they hung up. For anyone not having this problem or figured out how to fix it: Do you hold your phone a certain way, is it touching your face, away from your face. How far away?
[Sony Xperia 5 III] ANDREW007CZ:
Happend to me recently. Try to put the phone to ear by speaker first (where sensor is).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
Hi.

Just ordered S21fe 5g 256gb. With all the discounts and a 200£ trade in I paid £424 only. Which I consider a massive bargain. I traded in my old £0 value galaxy S6. Supper happy with the price.

Replacing my beloved s10e. I went for S21fe instead of s22 because of optical fingerprint reader instead of ultrasonic which allows me to use tempered glass on the screen and still be able to use the fp reader on S21fe. Also slightly bigger screen and bigger battery.

I just hope I won't regret my choice.

Any thoughts? Can anyone who already owns S21fe say whether they love it, hate it or have mixed relationships with it. Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
Hi!

As you, I had the S7 and then, the S10e.

2 weeks ago, I bought the S21 FE.... and I really love it!

I just miss the S10e's fingerprint! I find it more useful on the S10e !! When you grab the S10e, the fingerprint naturally falls under your thumb.... but except this, I prefer the S21 FE ;)

I really don't understand why they don't place the fingerprint a few centimeters higher....
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
Thanks for your reply.

And like you I think the fingerprint reader on the s10e is as good as it gets. The best possible placement.

I'm not a fan of in screen fingerprint readers at all but I guess it's something I'll need to get used to. All new phones have it for reasons unknown.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
yes, to do like everyone else...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
It depends on what you look for in a phone nowadays.

I personally hate the 3X telephoto. It's slow, blurry and feels like it belongs in the year 2015. It's really sad because there are older phones out there that outperform it. But this might be Samsung's camera software. If I use GCam It's way better, but GCam is really unstable with the S21 FE Snap.

I love everything else about it: price, size, UI, flat screen with no curves, weight, color, look, performance and especially video mode. It has really smooth transition between lenses when filming, and white balance is well calibrated for all of them. I've been through a few phones lately and watched a ton of reviews but came to the conclusion that this is the best bang for the buck right now. The alternatives are chinese phones with poor software and poor updates or Iphone but I'm too scared to change the ecosystem :)).
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
I've read about the telephoto camera issues which I hope will improve with software updates.

Everything else you mentioned is basically my kind of thing. Reasonable size, flat screen, performance, UI. It's all great. And I was considering different options, like Pixel 6 but it only comes with 128gb and apparently is buggy like hell. Also different Chinese options but like you I'm not only used to samsung's ecosystem but I also think it's the best best out there. And with good lock it's so customizable. I love it. I really wanted to go for S22 or even S22+ but my OCD would not allow me to buy it knowing that I won't be able to slap a piece of protective glass onto the screen because of the ultrasonic fingerprint reader. So S21fe it is :) I'm just hoping I get the Snapdragon version. I was trying to find some info whether it's a snapdragon or exynos in UK but couldn't find any confirmation. Apparently it's snapdragon but can also be exynos XD
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
Yeah, at least be sure you get a Snapdragon and everything should be perfectly fine.

Personally I'm now waiting for the S22 FE to see what's new. Changing phones is always a hard choice because usually I'm thinking that if my phone has an issue that I don't like, I can just buy a new one that doesn't have the same issue and I will be happy. But what actually happens is, I spend money on a new device, and although my initial problem is solved, I find ten other issues I hate. And it's like I'm starting this never ending journey of buying and testing phones which is stressful. And then I come to the conclusion that I should've kept the initial phone with it's silly issue. It's like breaking up with the love of your life for one stupid mistake and hooking up with another women that drives you insane. You end up regretting it :))))
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
Haha I know exactly what you mean. That's how I feel breaking up with my S10e. Absolutely the best phone samsung has ever made imo. But it's getting old battery needs charging twice a day now. So new phone is needed but I really feel, well I know for sure that I'm going to miss that device.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
Dammit it looks like it's going to be an exynos version. That totally just put me off. I'm now leaning towards keeping the s10e and returning the S21fe when it arrives today.

Shame but it is what it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
Oh, sorry to hear that... If the S21 FE is an Exynos in your region this could mean that the regular S21 might be Snapdragon. I guess you could try that. I wanted to,but couldn't because in my region it's the exact opposite :))
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
Unfortunately S21 is also exynos. Every samsung phone in UK is exynos. Balls

I watched a few comparison videos and I feel like that Exynos 2100 isn't all that bad really.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
I couldn't say they are bad but I'm more interested in the camera quality and Exynos are notorious for having washed out images and videos with a lot of noise reduction applied. Also, one big difference is the constant performance of the processor. Snapdragon can keep up with the same task without loosing too much performance but Exynos cannot. Also, the fact that Samsung sells phones with the same name but with a totally different processor is also bugging me. If you are not that concerned about cameras then I guess the Exynos might be fine also.

I think this guy sums it best:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
I don't play games on my phone so I'm not worried about heat or "constant performance" as it won't really affect me. And if I play any games they're usually non demanding puzzle kind of games so that's fine.

As for the photos yes I've seen some tests and exynos does slightly worse job when it comes to processing which is a bit annoying. Especially that in UK the exynos 256gb version is more expensive than snapdragon version in the US. £749 vs $749. 1:1 UK works out more expensive.

But I'm actually leaning towards keeping it anyway. For the price that I paid I can't really complain. £424 is almost half price so I think I can live with Exynos :)

It just arrived and is charging before I start transfering all my stuff from the S10e. Unfortunately this will be either later this evening or tomorrow morning because I'm on my way to work now. Either way I hope I won't be disappointed.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
1 day with S21fe... I'm quite impressed. Apart from the fingerprint reader which will take time to get used to i don't have anything to complain about really. Screen size is great. Phone is fast and really nice to use.

So far so good.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
Ha ha! As I anyway told you ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
Good for you :) happy to hear that, I hope you enjoy it until something better comes along.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] DarkStar9173:
I got my snapdragon s21 fe 2 weeks ago. It's a fantastic phone. Got it for 500 bucks with the galaxy watch 4 44mm included. Great game performance, fantastic main and uw cam. Dolby atmos and the 120hz amoled provide a fantastic media experience. One ui 4.1 is very intuitive and a welcome change after having a xiaomi phone. The only 2 gripes I have are the battery and the android 12 restrictions. The battery is average in everyday casual use, but intensive games drain it a bit too fast for my liking. And the android folder restrictions in android 12 are preventing me from modding games.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
Yeah you did haha. Thanks!

I'll probably keep it for at least 2 years which I always do with my every phone. Had s10e for 2.5yrs.

So 2 years is definitely enough time for something better to come out 😉
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] DarkStar9173:
I finally found a file manager that bypasses folder restrictions on this phone. It's called MT manager
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
Did you tried Total Commander? ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] DarkStar9173:
Yes tried so many different ones. Total commander allows to extract the files to the restricted folders, but the apps don't read the files. Mt manager is the only one that works on this phone
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
Ok haha, it turns out it's a snapdragon after all...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] DarkStar9173:
Good stuff. Here in Croatia s21 fe is the only samsung with SD, the rest are all exynos. S21 and s22 series.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
Seems to be exactly the same here in UK. S21 s22 are all exynos. But I read somewhere that S21fe should be snapdragon so I ordered one. Then I contacted Samsung customer service and they told me that S21fe in UK is also exynos. I wasn't happy about it at first but accepted it and decided to keep the phone. Decided to check it this morning and it turned out to be snapdragon even tho customer service told me it will be exynos haha

I'm even happier with the phone now.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
Are you sure about it?

I read that the S21FE don't have SD Card in any version.....
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
I think SD means SnapDragon :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] DarkStar9173:
I mean snapdragon not micro sd slot :)
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
Exactly lol
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
OK, sorry :rolleyes::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] satedeus:
I bought the s21 fe 5g unlocked from samsung. I am not a fan. I got the 256GB model. the camera takes decent pics, if you want to wait 5 seconds after you push the button. the screen is TOO sensitive. anything I do that requires the phone in landscape any slight touch by my palm when using my right thumb will bring something unwanted on screen, or worse, kill the app I'm working with. recently I connected to my computer via usb to transfer files and photos. as I opened the folders to choose what to transfer the phone started acting like it wasn't allowed to be connected to the computer. I unplugged it, replugged it, then it runs a search for files in whichever folder i try to open. a neverending search. if it does end, it's an hour plus later, and as soon as I select a file it starts searching all over again. I've changed cords, changed ports, went from usb a slots to usb c slots, redownloaded samsung drivers, all to no avail. in my experience this phone is the worst phone that I've owned in the last 10 years. and now they've reverted to the way the s6 was with no expandable memory? yeah. this phone sucks. if I just got a defective one I'm surprised. a lot of the reviews I've read trying to find a solution to the file transfer issue most of them have a complaint that coincides with one of mine. hopefully yours is suiting you better than mine is doing for me. almost ready to throw this piece of crap at a wall, instead I'm going back to my A71 5G. much better phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
I'm under windows 11 and I don't have issue with file transfer on my? Same to take picture, I don't have issue too :oops:

Sorry to hear that you're not happy with.... but for me, except the missing micro SD Slot, this is the best smartphone i have ever had !

Every user experience is different...

Maybe you can ask to exchange it?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
Wow, sorry to hear about your issues and disappointment. I've had this phone for a week now and I haven't experienced any of your issues. Literally not a single one. Camera is excellent and fast, screen sensitivity works as it should, apps don't get killed while I use them, no issues with files transfer via cable, missing SD cards slot is a bummer but I never needed more than 128gb so no problem here. I actually think it's a really great phone and I'm super happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
Same here, no issues apart from missing sd card slot but 256gb is twice what I need so should last me a long time. I also keep a backup of my photos and videos on a memory stick (transfer it via otg dongle) so no issue here either.

Great phone overall. Super happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] Randi03:
Out of curiosity, I just tried to connect my phone to my pc via USB C cable. I am using a Baseus magnetic cable so that I don't damage the port, but it behaves just like a normal 3A cable. No issues transferring files, windows does not run any searches. I do admit the file transfer is painfully slow but you can use samsung flow for this and it should be faster. As for the sensitive display, the only issue I came across is if I scroll and stop and lift my finger off the screen, it scrolls either up or down sometimes but this is present in all of the S21 FE's I tested. I suggest you exchange the phone or try another laptop for file transfers.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] jbs68:
Just got a OTA update!!

Maybe you can try to update yours (G990BXXU2CVC6), maybe it will work better?
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] satedeus:
I will check, but I have kept current with the updates. Thanks for the heads up! Hopefully it's a new one!
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] satedeus:
Possibly, one thing I left out, with the sensitive screen issue, it's only when in landscape . When it's in portrait it's often times not as responsive. So, as soon as I can get these files transferred I'll try to exchange. The files are for my business and they're too big for cloud back up. That's why I need to transfer to pc.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] WarVic[NZ]:
I think you have made the right choice. It is the best phone you can get at this price point. I have got my one even cheaper - $300 for open box conditions phone (6GB RAM, SD888 version). I had Pixel 6 and OnePlus 9 Pro in my hands to choose from and I used all of them for at least a week. Decided to stick with S21 FE. Didn't regret about it yet., can't complain.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
Hi. Thanks for your reply.

2 weeks of ownership and I'm still happy with the phone. It really is a great device. I'm already used to in screen fingerprint reader and using it became very intuitive. 9 out od 10 times I hit it and unlock it the 1st time.

One thing I'm still getting used to is the size of the phone. Whenever I pickup my old S10e it always makes me feel like "damn this is a one great little phone". I kind of miss that smaller size. But apart from that I really can't fault s21fe. It's a great phone, it's fast, camera is amazingly good, battery life is decent. Overall great phone. I really don't think I could buy anything better or even anywhere near as good for this kind of price.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] WarVic[NZ]:
Completely agree with you. Yes, it is great to have 6" - 6.1" little phone but it is great not for everything :). When I do reading, watch content from a smartphone screen, it is much better, convenient and less stressful for eyes to have a bigger screen :). So, perhaps, 6.4" screen size is optimal. By the way the main camera performance is more that impressive. I compared to to much more expensive devices (Pixel 6, OP 9 Pro, Xperia 1 III) and was shocked how good it is.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 FE] kierownikk:
You're right. I like bigger screen and it's great for watching or reading like you said. I'm just getting used to the size of the phone and using it with one hand isn't as easy as it was with my s10e. I'm using one handed mode more than ever before but that's what it's for. As for the camera that's also true. It produces pretty impressive photos, much better than I expected. Wide and telephoto are also really good even tho the telephoto doesn't always focus properly.
