Hello I have a Samsung gt-i8262 and still the old twrp recovery when I installed the file twrp.tar approx. 10.4 MB it is not displayed as a selection in Odin

Edit: Installation was successful but twrp ends in a boot loop
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Be_Cruel.:
Hi, I've been curious if flashing gsi onto s22 ultra would be successful, anyone tried so far ? I've read couple of threads and it's possible to flash gsi without twrp using either Odin (need modified .img file to be able to flash with it) or using bootloader and terminal commands.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Be_Cruel.:
Anyone?
[Realme GT 2 Pro] G1032:
Hi

Just bought a GT Neo 2 but didn't get the Realme 65W charger. I do have a Samsung EP-'T4510 USB-C Quick Charger 45W + USB-C Cable.

It's obviously not going to charge the phone as fast as an original 65W charger does but it's not charging as fast as I'd expect. Plugged it in earlier at 49% and it was at 91% 40 minutes later.

So what affects charging time?

Charging set up as follows:

1) Using extension lead

2) Using adapter to convert 2 pin EU charger to UK 3 pin

3) Samsung T4510 (45W) and the cable that came with the T4510

Do the extension lead or adapter affect charging time? Also does the cable affect it? Do fast chargers have to be used with a specific type of cable?
[Realme GT 2 Pro] blackhawk:
The charger/cable has to support the charging protocol of the phone or it will only slow charge.

Best to use a OEM brick/cable no longer than 3 feet.

Battery temperature needs to be high enough at beginning of the charging cycle for fast charging to engage. Minimum 72F, but 82-90F is best.

Fast charging may engage below 72F but Li plating becomes likely. Below about 55F fast charging will likely be disabled.

Above about 103F or about 80% capacity fast charging with be ramped down or disabled.

If screen is on, fast charging is disabled.

A battery fault will also disable it or cause erratic fast charging ie a battery failure.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] G1032:
Thanks for that.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] G1032:
Sorry @blackhawk

One more question if you don't mind. Will charging the GT Neo 2 with the Samsung charger damage or reduce the lifespan of the Realme battery?
[Realme GT 2 Pro] blackhawk:
Fast charging produces more heat therefore will reduce the lifespan somewhat.

On my heavily used Note 10+ I now replace the battery every year or so to help prevent a battery failure, routine maintenance.

The charging curve is controlled by the phone not the charger. The charging curve should be near identical if both bricks supple the required peak voltage/amps and the phone power controller can communicate with the brick.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] G1032:
Thank you kindly. Much appreciated.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] blackhawk:
You're welcome. Play with it to see how it works.

Start the charge at about the same temperature then time how long it takes to gain 1 or 2% without turning on the main display. Watch when it ramps down during the charge cycle. It will vary but I see 2%@minute sometimes a little faster at the peak fast charging rate on the N10+.

To extent battery life limit discharge to 30% and top charge to 80%. Li's like frequent midrange power cycling; it extents their totals full charge cycles many fold. A 40-67% usage range is near ideal. Limit the current draw; higher current usage stresses the battery more as does back to back discharge/recharge etc cycles with no rest period.

That's one reason it's just easier to replace the battery. When an Li reaches 80% of its original capacity it's considered degraded and has reached the end of its useful service life. It should be replaced. Degraded Li's are more likely to fail which can seriously damage the device.

Any battery swelling is a failure, replace immediately.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] G1032:
That's all very interesting. I have often read about the 30 - 80 range. I used to own a Huawei P9 and always charged to 100 and that battery didn't last more than 2 years. Last phone was an A70 and that'll be 3 years old in June. Started getting random reboots recently and a quick Google said that's most likely down to the beginning of a battery failure. So just got this GT Neo "as new". It was obviously sent back to the online store by original purchaser minus the charger (replaced with a 5V 2.1A charger. Store had no OEM charger listed on site for sale so I agreed to take a the EP-T4510 charger. While it's not ideal that I won't be getting the fast charge of the OEM charger, it's far from a major issue for me, as long as I'm not going to damage the battery with it and I doubt I will. Even less of an issue if all I really need to do is keep it between 30 and 80.

I've read also that a complete discharge every once in a while is recommended but not sure how accurate that advice is.
[Realme GT 2 Pro] blackhawk:
Li's are born to die; they start degrading the moment they're assembled. Don't go too nuts, just replace them as needed.

Until I watched someone replace my N10+ battery I was very concerned. However I realized it's relatively easy with the right skillset and tools.

Mind you they say the N10+ is one of the more difficult ones to replace... meh.

Now I don't really think much about it.

Hello,

I'm trying to access website files from my Chrome Cache.

I know the files I'm looking for must be there because it's 2GB big.

All the info I find online doesn't work for my Pixel 5.

Does anyone know how to access the Chrome Cache and save it?

All I'm able to do is Clear the Cache and that's the last thing I need to do.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hello, I'm looking for an android coder that makes me an index to take the accessibility permissions in each device that contains android, that is, if it is Samsung, the index changes and says "go to installed services, search for the app that I say, and grant the accessibility permission" and so with each of the models on the market I know that xiaomi changes to downloaded services, oppo, to installed applications, I really don't know the others worse I need it, the programmer who does this to me I will pay you, it will not be free, thank you.
[Realme GT] grown_man:
hi everyone,

by mistake i didnt reload magisk after ota(RMX2202_11.C.15 GDPR), so i lost my root

now, the situaiton is:

bootloader is working

ive tried to instal twrp but something doesnt wanna work. i guess i installed but the screen is black

then i did manually:

didnt work.

for 2nd solution i tried

with my rom's vbmeta.img, vbmeta_system.img, vbmeta_vendor.img basicly

didnt work either. and now when i try to open the phone, close itself and not always im able to open. now i can use just bootloader which is difficult to reach (need to press 3 buttons)

right now im waiting to finish unroot file.

well, (how) can i boot and root my phone without losing data?
[Realme GT] kjpern:
Wow I'm in pretty much the exact same situation just made a thread lol
[Realme GT] grown_man:
idk how but after some hours suddenly i saw that it started to work.

i think i changed the slot (like a>b) and flashed .img files on fastboot. at least now it works

Hi all, been reading the forum for a while, about time I got an account. Became interested in flashing/modding as a way to fight programmed obsolescence and reuse old phones given I can't afford one every 2 years as expected. Me, I'm into a bunch of other nerdy stuff: jazz, audio electronics, design, books, the arts & crafts movement, urbanism.

OK can I sit over there?

[Realme GT] kjpern:
Hi, how do I keep magisk and keep my realme gt rooted after an OTA? Last time I had an OTA I updated and my root + magisk were gone, I had to make a backup of my phone and reroot and reinstall magisk. I don't want to go through that process again, and on magisk there is an option to install to inactive slot, but I am scared to try it since this is my only phone and if its bricked then i'm screwed, and it doesn't seem like anyone else has tried it. My PC was reset so I would have to get all the adb and fastboot drivers and stuff all over again and I would probably mess something up somehow. I need root because I use Google Pay often.

My phone is a Realme GT 5G converted from CN to EU, with Magisk 24.3 (not alpha I switched from alpha to stable)

after going through this:https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/ota.html I can't even do the Magisk app → Uninstall → Restore Images step since it comes up with an error message saying something isn't found :(

Thanks if anyone can help

I had this working before i hardreset my phone to update the rom, but now i cant remember what "fix" to use for this...

It locked my phone when i turned it face down, and i really really loved that function...

Some good samaritan outthere wanna help me remember what app that was?

//cosmodk
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] xavierdemon:
Gsen or Gyrator can do what you want, I personally think Gyrator is better :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV Themes and Apps] skw21:
I use gsen to turn off the screen when face down, whilst this doesn't lock the device I then sensor lock to lock the panel when the phone awakes. This means that I can quickly turn the screen off but the beauty is that when the phone awakes either by switching it back on or if I recieve a call the panel locks so I don't accidentally ignore or accept a call whilst the phone is in my pocket.

Works great for me.

EDIT: SOLVED
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Sooo. I have had this phone from T-Mobile for the past few weeks and have a few hot takes on it.

For starters I wanted to return it almost 2 days in after figuring out about the performance this device had. But was promised an update and 2 weeks later it was delivered.

So these hot takes are going to be after the update.

1. So far almost no stutter I've found has been fixed. Home stutter, app stutter all still here.

2. WE SHOULD HAVE TO OPTIMIZE SH*T ON A 1300 DEVICE. The fact that some answers you get here are "did you follow the optimaztion guide?" I shouldn't have to touch anything! Do you think the average consumer is gonna go through the hoops of 3 factory resets, a firmware flash, and praying to whatever God to get sub par performance?

3. The camera lag is rediculous.

I went to AEW (wrestling show) and couldn't even pull my camera up up fast enough to get any good shots!. And not to mention the shutter lag waiting for the image to capture! Also 4k60 recording in a timely manner? Laughable. I have never had this many issues with a Samsung device in the first few weeks as I've had with this one.

4. Signal drops consistently. (Doesn't really bother me because I use wifi calling)

5. Battery has gotten better since the update so no issues there.

6. Snapchat lag in camera ui.

7. Ram management is a joke. Even with ram plus.

8. Display is beautiful but dims to high heaven in gaming.

9. Abysmal update times compared to exynos.

10. Zoom is awesome.

I'm sure there are more but geesh.

Adding a photo for AEW fans lol
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Try clearing the system cache.

All Samsung's need to be optimized and I'm not talking about enabling power management. It tends to do the opposite and will likely cause erratic behavior.

What's going on with the ram?

Wonder if scoped storage is helping to screw it up? It uses extra cpu cycles not sure if it impacts ram usage though. I deliberately avoided Android 11 and 12 because of it... no regrets.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] joemossjr:
Just seems like only 4 apps at a time can stay in memory anything after that is reloaded.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Can you change that in Developer options?

Standard limit... or did they change the "standard"?

Lol, I close out apps constantly especially Brave browser which always runs in the background otherwise.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Goku1992:
Exynos i think?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
I think people need to accept that Android is essentially malware and was designed by a company to continuously extract as much information on you as possible behind the scenes. I would estimate at least 90% of all Android apps participate in this game to gain your info for profit. People wonder why phones are sluggish with all this activity happening in the background. This is the cost for all of us users to get an OS and application environment for free.

So the fact that each of us needs to fine tune, debloat, optimize, etc on any new phone to reign in the OS and apps to get acceptable performance is not something new. It really is a journey to research and get any phone working smoothly as each one of us has different use cases.

PS - my new S22 Ultra (SD/T-Mobile) is fast as lightning and I'm very happy with it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Phredeee:
This has been the worst new phone transition I've ever had. From trying to order to Samsung stretching the truth about the specs, to configuring every app from scratch. To multiple Factory Resets just to solve something buggy. To Google apps not performing the same.

I expected the major debloat and privacy settings. I did not expect T-Mo to install Facebook 4 times nor that it would take 6 phone calls to unlock a phone I paid for fully.

I am happy with the performance, screen, and the camera is beyond words. Hoping I am about done configuring and side loading. adb is your friend.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Guyinlaca:
So far, the S22 Ultra feels like the Note20 Ultra with faster data speeds, better battery life, and slightly better camera. There is nothing earth shattering but overall seems a bit better. My only complaints are the weaker vibrate motor and lack of microSD card support.

I had a chance to test the S21 Ultra against the S22 Ultra and found the S21 Ultra to have slightly better speakers, stronger vibration motor, slightly better battery life and it's nice that it comes with up to 16 GB RAM. It's easier to hold as well, but the screen aspect ratio is less practical in many cases. It also gets warmer than the S22 Ultra.

For everything that improves with these iterative upgrades, there are a few steps back. If you're happy with your Note20 Ultra or S21 Ultra, I'd say there's no rush to upgrade unless you get an amazing deal.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Not seeing any of the lag with shutter you talking about. With or without the flash and 4k 60fps video recording works fine too even in the dark. As for the Ram+ I got mine set at 8gb and I can open and run 12 apps without any problem whatsoever. Never had any problems with T-Mobile signal. Maybe you should try a fresh install? I havent really had any issues since day one other than battery life sucks. I didn't do a fresh install either. I just used Samsung Smartwatch to setup the phone exactly like my S20U which I traded for the Unlocked 512gb using a prepaid T-Mobile plan so no T-mobile software or bloat on here.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] volcolm:
Sorry. No. This ain't it cheif. People make the same argument for TVs (that if they were to make "dummy" TVs without Android it would be a $5K set... um $5K TVs exist and still have the spyware). The gaslighting by manufacturers is real.

Also 2~5K sets then did indeed exist, and for the sake of argument I'm not gonna talk inflation cause it really didn't change /that/ much aside from all mfr's getting greedy since covid. 2010's "smart" TVs didn't exist and the "smart" features were only on more expensive sets, as well as being more useless than today.

I paid for the hardware. But it's a "license to use" argument is the same bull that the pro-copyright NES crowd uses... sheesh
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Kris_b1104:
Something is wrong if you're getting bad battery life. It's because you didn't do a fresh install, try factory resetting and it'll be way better.

S22 Ultra 5G US AT&T locked Snapdragon 512gb AVC8 flashed U1 firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
Factory reset guarantees nothing. Best to find the root cause to avoid a recurrence. Since each load is unique to the user, unique issues can and do evolve.

Use factory reset for: major upgrades, if you used SmartSwitch (don't make the same mistake twice), malware or if a buggy 3rd party app that altered hidden user settings you can't undo.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
It's a last resort but if has to be done then that's what you gotta do. It's the endgame. If it don't work after that your screwed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
If you inadvertently add the app(s) or setting(s) that caused it, you just shot yourself in the foot, again.

Never use SmartSwitch if the first load went bad using it, do a clean load instead.

Tracking down the cause can be time consuming but it's a lesson learned and time saved in the future; a reload is very time consuming. I reserve it for primarily boot loops and persistent malware.

My current load has been saved from a factory reset a couple of times, still fast, stable and fulfilling its mission. It will be 2 yo this June.

Some those fixes seemed impossible at first but all were done within the confines of a stock Android without using adb edits, etc.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Well I haven't had a single issue with mine even using smart switch but others heve. Guess I am just one of the lucky ones.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
That's a good thing👍

It's completely unpredictable. I've used SmartSwitch without issues. I don't trust it at all though... I remember Kies🤣

It may have screwed up the load on my newest N10+, still troubleshooting it. It developed a... lag🤣 No big deal.

Almost all issues can be resolved by simply "playing" with it, Adroids wuv attention.

i found a slightly quicker way, this works assuming that BOTH your databases folders (original and new) have the same .crypt extensions (in my case it was .crypt14)

1) back up your ORIGINAL WhatsApp files from either

\SDCARD\WhatsApp

or

\SDCARD\Android\media\com.whatsapp\WhatsApp

not my fault if you skip this step, you been warned, always make sure to have your backup.

2) install the latest Whatsapp

3)

If asked for access to files / Google Drive say Yes

When asked to give access to contacts say YES

When asked to have access to files say YES

go ahead and send anyone a whatsapp message through whatsapp (this step cant be skipped or the db.crypt files wont be created)

4) go to Settings>Chats>ChatBackup

Select your google account

Backup using cellular <Enabled> ( this one is optional, if you are using WiFi you can use Wifi)

Include Video <Enabled>

Backup to Google Drive <Only When I tap Backup>

5 )Now COPY (not move, but COPY) ALL the contents of your original backed up WhatsAPP folder into the following directory

\SDCARD\Android\media\com.whatsapp\WhatsApp

6) this is the tricky part, you are going to have to do this quick. NOTE: I did this using a computer since it was much faster to drag over and copy the files.

With the INTERNET access enabled and working you are QUICKLY going to choose Settings>Chats>ChatBackup>"BACKCUP" as soon as you click backup you need to QUICKLY COPY both the Databases and Backups folder from your original into the \SDCARD\Android\media\com.whatsapp\WhatsApp folder

it will ask you if you want to overwrite, just hurry and click yes. it should overwrite the files, i did this in about 2 seconds roughly.

whatsapp will start backing up and let it finish to 100%. once done exit out of whatsapp

7) now COMPLETELY uninstall whatsapp (this is to make sure the cache/data is gone and all related files). Once unisntalled then install it again. this should take you to the setup process again. Click yes to everything and when it asks you to restore choose from your google account choose your google account and it should start restoring. that it, now everything should be restored.
