[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] HussainJH:
I am planning on buying the S22 Ultra so I've been watching YouTube reviews and they were all positive.

Today I saw this post and it made me hesitant about buying the phone. This post is about the Exynos variant while the videos I watched was from American Youtuber so the were reviewing the SD and all of them gave positive reviews except for the Battery life.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
You can't make everybody happy and some phones obviously have issues. I have had my SM-S908W (SD) for a couple of months now and have had zero issues. Battery life is good but not great which is likely due to the faster processors and brighter screens on these phones.

Based on everything being reported here, the SD is the better option.

Don't let the haters influence your decision making process. They are a vocal minority and some don't even have first hand experience with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] moisespedro:
SD version is the better version, I have no complaints about mine other than the battery life (it kinda sucks)
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] HussainJH:
Luckily we're getting the Snapdragon this time in the middle east, SM-S908E/DS model.

S21 and below were all Exynos !
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackode:
If you come from z flip 3 like me, you should be feel relieve that s22 ultra has better battery life eventhough both phones are the latest in their very own lineup.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Village_Idiot:
I have the S22U 512GB SD and it's great. I'm coming from a Note 10+. I don't recommend the 128GB version. Go with the 256GB or bigger. The larger capacity storage modules that Samsung uses are faster than the smaller ones.

I'm not heavy user and normally not far from a charger, so the battery hasn't been an issue for me.

I wish Samsung included microSD, but storage hasn't been an issue so far. I have room for all of my apps and my entire music collection (~170GB) and I still have ~250GB of free space. I don't keep my photos and videos on my phone. I offload them to a 16TB regularly for long term storage.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Rubby1025:
Same with trading in my z fold 3 for the S22u. The fold's battery life definitely took a hit with that huge screen and not being able to store the s pen convinced me the S22u was the was the way to go. Totally happy and I've never looked back.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Delcides:
Hi guys, could anyone help me? When trying to unlock the phone with Asus app, the message appears: "Failed to unlock your device, please try again later. [24802]."

I've tried on android 11 and 12, and it doesn't work.

I already unlocked it once, then I locked it using the command "fastboot oem asus-csc_lk" , after that I can't unlock it anymore.

Is there another way, or some other command that works?
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
I think that now that the bootloader has been unlocked once, you have to use a fastboot command like 'fastboot oem unlock'. But I'm note sure, you better wait for someone who found a way to do it.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Delcides:
Thanks for your reply Ibolito. I tried these older commands but it didn't work.

I asked this question hoping someone has something new.

I've had other smartphone brands, and it never took as much trouble to unlock as Asus. I've been having a fingerprint problem for a long time and to adjust I need to perform this unlocking.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] ibolito:
You're welcome, so we have to wait for someone who knows how to deal with this issue because I also relocked my bootloader planning to unlock it again in the future... And btw what is your problem with the fingerprint sensor and what do you want to do? I'm having issues too since a few days.
[ASUS ZenFone 8] Delcides:
Já postei uma pergunta sobre esse problema mas sem sorte, já tentei quase tudo com o bootloader bloqueado, agora preciso tentar fazer algo com ele desbloqueado.

[Tasker Tips & Tricks] obitest11:
I apologize in advance, I don't actually have Tasker and am asking this to see if it would give me the capability I'm after. I often have audio going either from the TV or the cell phone itself. I want to automate silencing the audio when the phone rings. I have a land line as well as the cell phone, but the land line also rings the cell phone. I generally prefer answering on the land line. I can silence the TV by executing a URL.

So what this comes down to is this. Can Tasker detect an incoming ring on the cell phone, stop any audio on the cell phone itself and also execute the url which will shut down TV audio.

I haven't found a way to do this without Tasker.

I cant gett bluetooth explorer to work.

Whenever i tick the check box to enable bluetooth explorer in settings, once i click ok it does not save it and the box is unticked when i open up bluetooth settings again.

Anyone else have this problem?

Any ideas?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] mtm1974:
Same issue...

I had no issues when I was using WinXP and a Tilt, I could just pair the laptop and Tilt and transfer files back and forth.

I am now on a new Dell laptop w/ Vista (and Dell Wireless 360 Bluetooth module) and after pairing w/ my Fuze, I cannot transfer files in either direction.

Any thoughts????
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] lbhocky19:
is this different then just using bluetooth windows mobile device center? i can transfer files back and forth doing that
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] connorxda:
BT explorer

Hi, I have your exact same setup and just got BT exporer working.

Things to check are:

1. go to settings under "communications manager " and select Bluetooth

2. add your laptop as new device

3. under mode, make sure "make this device visible.." is checked

4, under FTP, make sure "enable BT explorer" and "enable file sharing" are checked.

On your laptop I used the "Bluetooth Information Exchanger\File Transfer\Shared Folder" to transfer files and I got it to work.

It isn't easy to setup but it does work.

Cheers,

Connor
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] faza11:
Thanks connorxda

It seems to work now after trying the method you posted

Thanks
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] onesikpuppy:
I'm having the same problem but this solution will not work for me. Every time I check "Enable Bluetooth Explorer" and exit it unchecks and will not launch explorer.

Anybody else having this problem?

Problem with FTP Bluetooth in WM6.1

i cant enable """enable BT explorer""" >> it sems this plugin cant create Bluetooth share folder in """"WM6.1"""". so i cant enable """enable BT explorer"""

i tried many ver of this plugin but :((
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] genoiiiiii:
I am having the same issue, Did you ever find a fix for it?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] genoiiiiii:
****FIXED*****

Now the Problem just happen to hit me when my bluetooth explorer wasn't working on my Touch pro. From the stock rom it worked fine, then I applied some tweaks, and it stopped.. So I starting searching.. I have came up with no Fixes, so I was retracing my steps..

What had happened was I had set my File System Cache to 131072 from the registry. I never noticed it, till I fired up Advanced Config, and Noticed that when I clicked on the list of sizes, 8M was the higest, I thought that was strange, so I set it to 8M in advanced config, Soft Reset, and now my Bluetooth Explorer is working just fine..

So, recap..

Make sure your FILE SYSTEM CACHE is set to 8M Or just not some Huge Number, My FILE SYSTEM FILTER CACHE IS SET TO 131072

Notice where I got the mixup I set the wrong values.. Hope this can help some people out..

For those who don't know what the Bluetooth Explorer is, Its quite simple, You need to enable FTP Sharing on your Device such as your computer.. Then open the FTP Explorer on your phone, it will list the bluetooth devices it finds, once it does click the device, and walla all the files that are on the device(computer) folder you setup now show on your phone..

If anyone has any questions about this or needs help fixing it, just PM me.
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] deadwrong03:
can u move the files thats on another device and move them to your device?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] genoiiiiii:
Lets say you got your Phone and Computer

You can Move files from a Folder on your Computer to your Phone from Bluetooth Explorer (You setup your Bluetooth folder on your computer)

and Vice Versa for your Phone

You can Move files from your Phone from your Computer

You just have to go to Settings / Bluetooth / FTP then tick the box that says Share Folder and set the Folder you want the other device to be able to pull files from..

Very Nice Program to use.. Good Job HTC :)
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] deadwrong03:
does this also work with moving files from phone to phone? or is it only a pc to phone thing?
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] genoiiiiii:
Phone to Phone also, as long as the Phone supports the FTP Profile.. Any Bluetooth device that supports the FTP profile will work..
[Touch Pro, Fuze Themes and Apps] SpawnOfSatan:
Holy christ you are a genius buddy!! lol, this been buggin me FOREVER!! lol, apparently when you install "Advanced Config" it automatically has it set as some High number, so when you hit "ok" to exit out of it the first time, your cache gets set to that high number >.>

Anyways, Thanks Again!!!
[Samsung Gear S3] CookieNS75:
Title says it all.

Wireless Download isn't working, even if I double tap the power button or hold it for 2 secs then release it.

Any idea to fix this? Or do I have to use Wired Download instead?
[Samsung Gear S3] trm34669:
I had this happen awhile back when I ordered a T-Mobile version and they sent the Verizon version on accident. I didn't read ahead to see what happens if you flash the wrong rom and end up bricking the watch and was longer able to access Wireless Download mode and connect to NetOdin. What I had to do was get a charger from the original Galaxy Gear S watch (that clipped to the backside of watch), slight disassembly and modification and the metal pins used to charge the original gear S watch will fit into the access port on the side of the Gear S3 watch and allow you to connect the watch to PC via USB and flash using regular Odin. There is a guide in these forums somewhere if you search, or if you have any questions, feel free to ask
[Samsung Gear S3] trm34669:
There is another way to do this if you have the tools and skill but requires disassembly of the watch and soldering a usb cable to the motherboard of the watch to connect to usb and flashing stock rom using Odin. Once finished, removing the solder and cable, and then reassembly.
[OnePlus 9] maigre:
I've been running a rooted OP6 for 3.5 years or more. Currently on stock OOS 11 with some root specific extras. It still behaves OK, but I'm thinking of getting something newer because of occasional issues that may be age related. OP is selling the OP9 for $499 today in the US. For those of you who are familiar with the device, do you think it's worth buying at that price this deep into its existence?
[OnePlus 9] 61zone:
For 499$? Hell no!

I bought almost new one for 399$ and still pissed. Camera is horrible even with Gcam. Chipset gets hot while playing videos sometimes let alone gaming.

Also depend what you are looking for. OP 9rt has everything OP9 has and have better camera and thermal. I'd say go for 9rt than base OP9 if it's available in the price range.
[OnePlus 9] maigre:
Thanks. I didn't buy it before the sale ended. I figured I'd have other opportunities with some decent phone or another. Seems like a few years ago, more people were happy with their new phones. Now, it seems like a lot of people have problems with the more recent models.
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
The phone is fine (cameras aren't the best but everything else is great). The software is the problem. If you want it so you can flash a custom ROM on it, it's great. If you want to just use it stock, it's harder to recommend.

That said, I would take a 9 over a Pixel 6 (in fact my initial purchase decision was between these two since the sale on the OP9 at the time was the same price as the 6) or pretty much anything else because of the community support. The Pixel 6 and 6 Pro are only just now starting to get decent custom ROMs, Tensor is a mediocre SoC with a weak modem, the display is better on the OnePlus, and the OnePlus has way better battery.

When it comes to devices where I live in the US, the only options for those of us who want root and custom ROMs while maintaining full compatibility with all carriers are OnePlus and Pixel. It's too bad Samsung locks their devices down so much.
[OnePlus 9] maigre:
I'd have thought the Pixel 6 would have been my best bet until I started reading the myriad complaints about it from users. The glowing commercial site reviews tout the features, but don't mention that those features don't always work as would be expected. The same seems to be the case for the current generation of Samsung phones.

What's the issue with OOS on the OP9? I'm probably running something similar on my OP6, though via root, I've eliminated a lot of the bloat. I'd intended to flash custom ROMs, but I never have on this phone as I've had it set up to my liking most of the time. I'm running Android 11. Maybe that's the issue? 12 has more problems?
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
People don't like the Oppo-ification that has happened. ColorOS and OxygenOS are on the same codebase now and they're extremely similar. It doesn't help that OnePlus is lagging on updates a lot too. They just started dropping the C.60 update which comes with OOS 12.1 today and ColorOS has been on C.62 since April.

Honestly I got tired of waiting for 12.1 and switched my global LE2115 to ColorOS yesterday and I like it. The bloat is there but it's only an issue if you actually run it. And honestly it cracks me up seeing the Chinese in the universal search lol. *shrug*

One thing I really appreciate about this device is that the MSM Tool is available. This is the low level firmware flash that is meant for manufacturers to use to rapidly restore devices back to working order. Since we have it, it's fairly easy to recover from common bricking scenarios, and I don't know that I would want to go back to a device that doesn't have it (like the Pixel). OnePlus also seems to have excellent warranty service, they don't even void the warranty if you brick the thing, unlike Google who claims they can't even re-flash the firmware and you have to pay for a new motherboard if you brick it.

There are some annoying issues with notifications (which strangely seem to naturally resolve themselves as you use the device) and aggressive battery management in A12 that you have to learn how to work around. It's not perfect but I like OOS12 and COS12 more than I like Pixel-clone ROMs or OneUI.
[OnePlus 9] Superguy:
I wouldn't. Truth be told, if I still had my 6, I'd still be using it. Unfortunately, I left it on top of my car getting gas once, and drove off. Never found it or its pieces. :D

I ended up with the 7 Pro. It was OK, but I hated the curved screen.

I sent the 8T back as OP screwed early adopters with a water bottle while a few hours later offering a pop up box that was a much better deal for the same price.

Now I have the 9. I'm not crazy about it. It's ok, but I regret paying full price for it. It'd be a hard sale at $499 for me.

Maybe an 8T would be a decent option if you could get a good price on it.
[OnePlus 9] imna357:
You can get the dual sim version on Amazon it's Chinese version but when I updated it to Android 12 from le2110 it turn into le2115 which is covered by at&t, so far so good, used to have the Pixel 6, I liked it until I got bored with it, I am not a gamer but all this phones depends on who is using it, I don't have any problem with OOS 12, it's stable for me, but I like the customization of the CUSTOM ROMS..
[OnePlus 9] maigre:
I've seen complaints about that. I haven't seen it with my OP6 because they stopped updating the OS before they merged the codebases.

Good point. I've never had to use the MSM tool on my OP6, though I've come close a couple of times. The TWRP discrepancies between OOS versions has played havoc with me here and there. But I was always able to solve it before having to use MSM. Certainly its availability is comforting and valuable.

What is it that you find disappointing?

I'm not a gamer, either. I'd possibly use a custom ROM depending on things. I use other than the stock launcher, anyway, so at least if I don't like the look of OOS 12, I'd sidestep that much of it.
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
Why would you pick the 8T over the 9? The only real advantage I see is 12GB vs 8GB (hasn't been an issue for me and I'm a heavy user). The disadvantages: hugely inferior 5G modem (that's external instead of integrated into the SoC like the 888 so even worse battery consumption), slower SoC, slower storage (much slower on random writes), closer to the end of the official software support period, etc...

For $499 you can do a lot worse than the OnePlus 9 but also can't really do better.
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
Honestly this is my first OnePlus and I *prefer* ColorOS to OOS. The depth of customization is insane and it doesn't seem to be as buggy (but that could be due to the fact that C.62 is simply newer and that OOS will get there when C.62 finally releases for it in a month or so too, it's hard to say).

I had to use the MSM Tool... Multiple times... If I had to complain about one thing with this device, it's extremely easy to soft brick it. I have been into rooting and customizing my Android phones since 2009 and of the entire list of phones in my signature, I've only ever gotten the OnePlus 9 to the point of no return. When trying to flash to the B slot, sometimes everything that can possibly go wrong does and you end up with an unbootable system. The A/B system was the worst thing Google ever did to those of us who like to customize our devices. That said, the MSM Tool gets you back up and running with no fuss when you do need it, provided that you have a good USB cable and the technique to get the device into EDL. The lack of working TWRP has led to the need to flash a new recovery with every custom ROM and that's even more chances for something to go wrong.
[OnePlus 9] Superguy:
I don't get 5G on AT&T and I can't say I was terribly impressed with it on T-Mo either. Certainly not enough that it wowed me over LTE.

I've had big problems with BT on the 9 as well, especially in my Hondas. Seems to do ok in the Ford. I didn't have those problems in the same cars on either the 6 or the 7 Pro.

For what I do, I can't say I've noticed huge differences in performance. The 9 does transfer to my PC faster than the other 2, but I don't sync it that often. Performance has always been good enough for me.

The games I play I haven't noticed much difference in.

If I had to do it over again, I wouldn't pay $499 for a 9. Let alone the $750 I paid for it new.

Depends on what you value and for you use your phone.

YMMV.
[OnePlus 9] Superguy:
Chinese version's missing a lot of US bands, unless there's a way to enable them.
[OnePlus 9] imna357:
That's the only thing, I don't get no 5G with At&t even setting up the APN, but I get decent speed, even compared to my Pixel 5G which is a back up.
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
You gotta watch out with AT&T's VoLTE whitelist... They will eventually kick the phone off since it goes by the IMEI and that doesn't change when the software does. The LE2115 is the only one that's approved for AT&T.

https://www.att.com/idpassets/images/support/pdf/Devices-Working-on-ATT-Network.pdf
[OnePlus 9] imna357:
Yup, I know, when I'm in OOS 12 Version change to LE2115, not sure if it matters, so far haven't gotten any text from att
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
These are definitely fair points.

When it's working right, 5G is ridiculous on T-Mobile. I have seen over 300Mbps in the middle of the day and over 500Mbps overnight and that's with my cheap little MVNO that's deprioritized too. My point about the modem applies to LTE as well though, not just 5G. An external modem will always use more power doing the same thing than an internal modem would.

I haven't noticed any issues with BT but I don't use it a lot.

The 865 is no slouch, it's just no 888 either.

I go back and forth on whether I think the $600 I paid for this phone is worth it. I have had some definite frustrations with it (notification issues on OOS *AND* COS are maddening!) but I still feel like I would have been miserable if I took the S21 FE or Pixel 6 for the same price...
[OnePlus 9] EtherealRemnant:
Yeah I have heard this from other people but the OnePlus subreddit is full of people complaining about getting the boot so I would say it's coming, it's just a matter of when they get around to it.
[OnePlus 9] imna357:
I'm not really sure, my hardware version always changes to 2115 which is approved by at&t, when I do MSM it goes back to 2110 which is Chinese version but upon updating to OOS 12 it converts to 2115 on my hardware version. But if I put on custom ROM it goes back to 2110😁

[OnePlus 9] Superguy:
We really wanted to like T-Mobile - especially as my wife gets mad when I change something that's working fine for something that may not. I still get crap for trying Comcast for awhile over Fios because of the problems we had and we ended up not saving money

TMo just didn't work for us, and boy did I hear about it. We had 7 lines on our plan. 3 of us in Baltimore, 3 in western PA (medium sized town and rural), and 1 in the Corps at Quantico. Half of our phones were BYOD, other half were bought from T-Mo. I probably should have done their 30 day trial to see if it would have worked, but I believed the hype.

We had a lot of dropped calls, and the ones that didn't were often garbled. Sometimes it got to the point my wife and I ended up texting because we just couldn't communicate in a call. Parents and MIL had spotty service. My MIL also had T-Mo home Internet as it was cheaper than cable, but even that could be flaky for them.

Customer service was ok - but the waits were insane - often over an hour. It would really suck to stay on the phone that long, finally get a rep only to have the call drop before they could ID me so they could call back.

I lost coverage in my building at work. Big problem for me as I tether on a few of our laptops as we can't connect them to the network as they're nonstandard loads.

My wife ended up driving cross country - mostly on interstates on I-70, 80, and 15. There weren't too many places where it was good. Even in LA. After 3 months, we couldn't stand it anymore and went back to AT&T. It may not have been the fastest, but we had the coverage and reliability we needed.

I paid $750 thru T-Mo for mine. Looking back on it, I don't think it was worth it. Ever increasing phone prices are getting harder to justify, especially as the new features are fewer and farther between, and just aren't that impressive for the price. It's been ages since I looked at a phone and said "ooo I gotta have that."

I could be happy with a good upper midrange phone at this point. As long as I can root it so I can do some tweaks and such, I'd be happy.
