[Samsung Galaxy S22] dragos281993:
This is how it goes. Small Android devices will NEVER give you great battery life, and I'm talking about the likes of S22 and such in terms of size and also with the title of flagship device. You just can't have both. I learn it the hard way, which is wasting money on devices for the past 3 years to reach this conclusion.

So if you want a powerful Android device with more than good battery life, you gotta go big. No way around it. If someone claims that they're getting great SOT on their small Android phone, that's because they're very light users, mostly watching videos. That means no touch events and that translates into very few frequency rampups and that in its turn means lower CPU usage that gives you longer SOT, but that's not representative of the regular usage which involves a lot more than that.

Only Apple offers great battery life in a smaller form factor and that's mainly because it's a hell of a lot easier job to optimize the software for a handful of devices which have the most important pieces of hardware inside built inhouse. It's just the absolute best situation for them.

However, going for the smallest phone would be a mistake. You'd get decent battery life for that size but it's still bad. The regular 13 is the best choice if you still want a small phone. I'd personally get the 13 Pro which has even better battery life than the regular variant plus the 120Hz screen. And let me tell you, the level of smoothness you get from 120Hz iOS is on a whole another level than on 120Hz Android. iOS has a lot less frequent frame drops, and by that I mean they're almost non existent. On Android, framedrops are everywhere and anywhere, no matter how "buttery smooth" people claim it is. It's not. The frame dips, the so called stutters, are noticeable and they occur most of the time no matter the app, when you scroll up and down. It's always been there.

But yeah, get an iPhone and you'll see what I'm talking about. After selling my 13 Pro to go back on Android because I got bored of iOS, I regretted it when I saw the battery life on my S22, not to mention overheating and overall poor performance because of that.

Something else to consider is how much better iPhones hold their value compared to Android phones. I can get a brand new S22 for $570 from the trading market in my country. I paid $1040 for my current crap of a phone. It's nearly half the price now. At the same time, I can buy a brand new 13 Pro from the same place for $1025, the cheapest one. I paid $1250 for mine when I got it last year in October. That's just $225 value lost in 8 months. The S22's price dropped to nearly half in just 3 months. It's just insane.

So get a 13 or 13 Pro, or if you can wait a little longer, get a 14. I'm getting the 14 Pro Max, without thinking twice. It's a brick but I don't want to have to worry about battery life ever again, to force close apps and services and constantly check on the background activity so I can try to save some juice.

My POV though. Android has always been letting me down
[Samsung Galaxy S22] S8_guy:
My galaxy s8 used to last two full days when i got it new. Nowadays, it last me a full day with regular use, keep in mind that i put a new battery in it and did not update to the latest firmware. It has only two year of update and it killed the battery by one day.

Those updates age the phone, doesn't matter which OS it is ( android or ios). I am going to do a trial on the 13 mini, and if that doesn't work i am going to go for the iphone 14 pro ( not the max). the pro models will ditch the notch as well. It would be one hell of an upgrade from my s8.

Not sure, why you didn't return your galaxy s22 during the trial period?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] dragos281993:
When I ordered this thing, I also put in the cart a white Samsung bumper case too. When I received the package, I unboxed the phone and the case, put the phone in it then booted up the device. It was a pretty tight fit. After 4 days I decided that nope, I'm not keeping this pathetic thing. So I already had a few tabs open with some guys selling their Pixel 5 phones. I just needed to choose one.

So I take out the S22 out of the case and surprise! Micro scratches all around the frame from when I inserted the phone in the case. Because the damn case is made of a hard material and the plastic inside wasn't completely smooth at the edge, all the tiny imperfections left a mark on the supposedly military grade aluminium the frame is made of, when I inserted it in it. Marketing at its finest. I then emailed the store I ordered the phone from and they asked the department in charge how it would go from there if I returned the phone in that condition. They tagged it as "non-returnable" because it's not in the same condition and cannot be sold as new anymore. OR they could deduce a tax that consists of replacing the frame with a new original one. That also includes the display and the whole restoration of the device would mean -400 euros from the initial price. Just from those micro scratches around the frame.

So that's why I'm now stuck with this thing. I even took it out of the case, removed the screen protector and I'm using it naked. It's all scuffed and scratched from just using it like that, without dropping it or anything. The durability of this thing is absolutely pathetic, a complete joke.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] S8_guy:
Absolute tragedy! Sounds like your just stuck with this phone for sometime or your other choice is to sell for a loss in the used market.

On a side note, I ordered a case and screen protector online for the galaxy s22. It arrived a month after i returned the phone. I lost about $15 on it. I was too cheap to order it from samsung directly.

The regular iphone 13 looks like the phone to get for me, I guess i will wait for iphone 14 to launch and buy the iphone 13 on a discount.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] dragos281993:
Good idea. The regular 14 I believe the rumours say will look identical to the 13 too.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] S8_guy:
lol...also has the same processor. Not sure, what would the upgrade really be.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] AdamWest1212:
I don't think the the battery will be that much of an issue for S22 because the phone itself is more efficient then the S21. So technically you should get more out of the smaller battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Crow820:
S20 or S20 Ultra will be a better option then S22.

I bought the S22 only because my old phone died and the S22 was on sale and in stock.

Other wise I would have bought the S20.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] seancannery88:
The S22 series are new with a lot more great specs so you can get any S22 series model!

Hey! I tried flashing Havoc OS, Pixel Extended and Crdroid through TWRP. Only Crdroid works, the other two Bootloops. Can someone explain what's happening? I've flashed custom roms on Samsung phones but I am new to Redmi. I would love some help. Thanks!

Thanks for your help man! I did not know that there was a firmware version requirement, most of them just list 'The latest stable firmware' as a requirement. Will try this out soon!
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Rust_1809:
Also why is this an requirement. Does each new update add something? I am at 12.5.7 Indian version. How is it different from CN or EU version?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] NOSS8:
Development is only done with CN or GLOBAL roms
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] Rust_1809:
I don't quite follow. Wouldn't 12.5.7 IN rom have all the features present in the 12.5.1 CN rom?
[Redmi 9 Power / 9T] NOSS8:
This is the basis for an AOSP.

An AOSP rom on a Xiaomi is a portage, there are no MIUI functionalities, moreover often your phone after flashing an AOSP is recognized as a Pixel.

The firmware serves as a bridge between the Xiaomi and the rom, for porting, that's all.

Firmware is not a rom it is included in the Miui roms

Hello! I wanted to install a custom rom for my J7 2017 but I have a broken power button so I decided to flash TWRP recovery with adb tools, after I flashed TWRP I wrote in CMD: adb reboot recovery, after it booted in the normal recovery (not TWRP recovery) now everytime I charge it it straight goes to recovery mode, my Windows laptop and PC don't recognize it so I can't just do: adb reboot and I can't factory reset it in recovery mode too, I tried to get out the power button but it's stuck, can anybody help?

First thanks to Rick , that seems to work . on the other hand I tried Sprite backup 6,2 and that seems to work also.

sprite backup 6.5 works fine
[Touch HD General] onesolo:
There's no backup program inside the cd like the cd from Touch Pro, right??
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
Can also confim Sprite Backup works fine. (It's also listed in the working programs thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=442663 )

I think Sprite is also good for restoring to different rom versions (after rom upgrade for example) which other backup programs I've tried fail miserably at.
[Touch HD General] 6Fg8:
Anyone tried scheduled backups with SpbBackup?
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
I lost my contacts because SPB wouldnt restore to a different rom version, haven't touched it since!
[Touch HD General] 6Fg8:
Sorry to hear that. I'd like to use SpbBackup because AFAIR it is able to restore single registry items (very useful sometimes). Already tried but didnt convince me, took ages to backup the HD and sometimes didnt even start. Sprite runs fine, registry restores can be done but not single item based.
[Touch HD General] Philio25:
All comes down to your usage then really :)

If your hacking the registry that could be quite useful!
[Touch HD General] 6Fg8:
I leave the registry alone, except it's absolutely necessary. Wouldn't consider it hacking, but just to give you an idea: my company runs a hidden wifi and they keep the password a secret. I know the network admins well so i asked them to enter the password directly into my device without telling me (they wont, so i didnt even ask). Yesterday the profile suddenly vanished when i was trying to connect. Not a big deal, under normal circumstances. But as i dont know the password i'm unable to recover. Restoring the corresponding registry hive would have saved me. Anyway, i'll show up in the admins room again :D
[Touch HD General] rickgillyon:
Yes, works fine.

I gave up Sprite a few versions ago because that version allowed full restores or nothing, no single file restores. I assume they've fixed it by now, that was useless! :mad: But I've restored Contacts across ROM versions and across different machines with SPBBackup many times. Perhaps I'm a bit paranoid, but I have PIMBackup scheduled daily too, just in case... :)

[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Guides, News, & Discussion] TechX1991:
Ended up with one of these in my tech shop some how, figured I'd try it and was successful at unlocking the bootloader!

Needed Files

- Odin Patched 3.14.1

- SM-N976N KOO Firmwarre

- 7Zip

- vbmeta-disabler: https://xdaforums.com/attachments/vbmeta_disabled-tar.5371913/?hash=4ffe83be111a345e3fb35895ba1a5995

- LZ4: https://github.com/lz4/lz4/releases

- ADB/Fastboot (makes things easier)

- Magisk Manager

Instructions

-- bootloader unlock

1.) Use ODIN to flash the KOO Firmware you download

2.) DO NOT connect to wifi during Setup, go through without connecting

3.) Open Settings, enable Developer Options and disable Auto Updates

4.) Connect to Wifi, and wait for "Preparing setup" Notification to start. IMMEDIATELY disconnect from Wifi (this is what worked for me)

5.) Go to Time and Date settings, manually set the date 11 days previous to current date ... for example, April 29th, set it to April 18th

6.) Go to developer options and OEM Unlock should suddenly be there!

7.) Power off device completely, plug into a charger, and hold Vol Up+Vol Down+Power until the blue download mode screen comes up

8.) Hold Vol Up until it asks if you want to unlock bootloader

9.) Factory reset will occur, but its unlocked! Congrats!

TWRP Rooting (if on Android 11, DO NOT do this method with 12)

1.) Rename Magisk.apk to magisk.zip

2.) Reboot to Download, flash VBMeta_disabler

3.) Reboot again to download, flash twrp as AP

4.) Immediately boot to it upon reset via holding Vol Up as it restarts

5.) Go to ADB Sideload under Advanced

6.) using CMD,

adb sideload magisk.zip

7.) do a factory reset

Congrats! Rooted!

Non-TWRP Method (recommended)

1.) Open the AP file in 7zip

2.) Extract boot.img.lz4

3.) use lz4 to extract the boot.img

lz4 <path to lz4> boot.img

4.) install magisk manager on device

5.) Patch boot.img

6.) Pull the patched boot.img off phone storage

7.) Name it boot.img, use 7zip to create boot.tar

8.) Flash it as AP with Odin Patched

Rooted!

IF DEVICE DOESN'T BOOT, DO A FACTORY RESET. It needs to just reformat the data partitoins and such. Worked for me perfectly

Also might get a force close upon first boot of TADownloader... just close it and ignore it!

Is it possible to convert network locked single SIM models to dual SIM?
[Realme C21] PhotonIce:
im not familiar with this, but how does that even work? There's only 1 sim slot on the single sim version, and only 2 on the dual sim version. I guess you might be able to get some sort of modification or adapter board to connect for dual sim, but that would be a bit janky wouldnt it?
[Realme C21] Blank tape:
It has a single slot in the SIM tray, yes, but I hoping the internal hardware might be the same as a dual SIM model. That might be unrealistic as I can't find a region that offers both dual SIM and NFC. What I do know is that it is possible to convert at least some Oppo models from single to dual SIM by changing the region and flashing other firmware and of course replacing the SIM tray. After that, it works like a bought one.
[Realme C21] PhotonIce:
just sell yours and buy a dual sim model, why go through all this trouble?

it will probably cost the same, if not a little bit more, but it would be a genuine dual sim model.

most dual sim budget phones dont have nfc anyways.

i dont know any other information, so sorry for not being much of a help
