[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Blackfyre:
I mean there are some of us who do own this phone, I've had it since April, and I find that apps like Twitter and Reddit scroll lagging as

completely unacceptable

. Regardless of how unoptimized basic apps are from the developer side, they're literally two of the most popular apps on the PlayStore and I am unhappy with a $1900 phone here in Australia (for the 256Gb 12Gb RAM Snapdragon variant I bought in April) lags doing the most basic tasks, when I could have got an iPhone 13 Pro Max and not had these issues, at least with basic apps, I wouldn't have liked it as much as my Android phone, since I prefer and love the customisation on Android, but at least the basic apps which I spend the majority of my free time will work without issues.

I didn't even buy it at release and it took them until June to fix the camera taking quick shots issue.

This idea of sucking-off these big companies, regardless of who they are, needs to stop. I don't care if you're a fan. There are people who have this phone or have had this phone for a while and still facing issues with it.

Sure, there is no perfect phone out there, but asking for basic optimization and better support for these devices shouldn't be discouraged. Samsung needs to do better.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] hand-filer:
I don't do twitter but I can confirm that the Reddit app is absolute garbage. Just look at the reviews on Google Play for confirmation.

It's not the phone, it's the app(s).
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] xgerryx:
Coming from a Oneplus 8 Pro here, which was about as fast a device as you could get (even now). I do have the S22 Ultra 512gb variant and I can say that it feels about how I thought it would. Nothing can really compare to Oxygen OS, pre Android 12 IMO, but the Ultra feels fast enough.

I used smartswitch coming over, but I did clear cache in recovery for good measure. I am running 120hz and 1440p rez on optimized battery settings.

I don't experience any heat from it aside from situations where I know I would, like 95 degrees outside walking with the screen on max brightness using google maps, something like that.

I made all animations .5 as usual and turned off part of the app transitions in settings. It feels like it should. I use Twitter and the Reddit app. No lag on reddit flying through the homescreen with multiple app reloads at the bottom.

I have a bunch of complaints about this phone but nothing like is in this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] blackhawk:
I would kill animations completely... a waste of resources that adds no useful functionality.

See what's behind the mask.

With that 4nm chipset and 12gb* of ram it better be fast. The burning question is how much mAh's is it using to do this?

Waste heat is an invariable byproduct of operation, the more mAh's used, the more heat generated. And that is a problem once your average mAh usage goes over 400.

Can it be optimized to stay under 400 mAh?

I doubt it but it's pretty common for Samsung's to be hot running battery hogs until optimized.

There's definitely room for improvement with optimizing. Using over 500 mAh average is unacceptable. If you're getting 10 hr or less SOT that's exactly what it's doing. At a 750 mAh average thermal dissipative capacity becomes a real issue because it isn't sustainable.

The other question is how much is scoped storage adding to the load burden?

Probably a fair amount; Pixels even added a new chip to take up some of that extra needed processing. Not an encouraging sign.

At least on rooted devices it seems scoped storage can now be disabled in 12.

*the large 12gb of ram is more important for performance than the chipset speed to some extent. The 8gb variant doesn't hold up to multitasking near as well.

I had just bought a bunch of supplies for my Hermes when it died. I replaced it with a Tilt and the accessories are not interchangeable, so I have them for sale. I have 5 batteries, I had just bought new ones in bulk, a USB charger, a hard shell clear plastic case an invisible shield for the whole unit. I also have an external Gtop bluetooth GPS unit for it. The tilt has a built in receiver so this is available as well.

PM me if you have any interest in any of these items before I post them on Ebay.

[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] kendalpercimoney:
After going through all the settings and unsuccessfully following general guides on here, I finally narrowed down five things that significantly reduced the lag on this phone. (As in... I actually enjoy using the phone now.) Thought I'd share them here.

1: Install and default Nova launcher. Clear memory of One UI home app

2: Replace stock keyboard with google keyboard. Adjust the vibrations so that they feel good. (41 worked for me)

3: Turn off "Put unused apps to sleep" in [Battery and device care > battery > power saving]

4: Turn off "Adaptive battery" in [Battery and device care > battery > more battery settings]

5: Disable "Edge panels" under display options.

That's it!

Optional: Enable dev options and set the first two animation speeds to 0.5
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] blackhawk:
Nova launcher was never faster then One UI, unless Samsung managed to screw that up too.

A lot of fail coming out of Samsung lately.

Adaptive battery, etc never worked.

Optimized power setting is probably a better more well rounded setting selection.

After turning off the global power junk you need to track down the power hogs and deal with each on a case by case basis for optimum optimization.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] karan5chaos:
I'm not sure about the adaptive battery mode. A few additional things you could do is disable battery hogs like Bixby and multiple services like google and google assistant which serve no purpose. If you are rooted, you can disable them effortlessly. In my opinion, samsung apps are very well optimized for one ui. I wouldn't replace them. Instead, I will disable all the junk apps and just use the dedicated samsung apps for smooth and consistent experience.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mewcatchew:
I manually uninstalled or disabled all the garbage I possibly could that was pre-installed on my Straight Talk A53 - and there's a lot. I set the refresh rate to 60 (120 is nice to have BUT is a battery drain). I also used ADB to set virtual RAM to zero as suggested. I'd love to know more commands to get rid of **** I'll never use and will never need and can't disable: like AR, device pulse & anything else that's useless that I can safely remove from the system. The phone isn't as laggy for me as the A51 was. I'm content with it, and you've got to admit it does have a nice punchy vibrant screen. It actually runs Candy Crush smoother than my iPhone 13, and that's about as hardcore as I game.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] blackhawk:
One UI shouldn't lag at all. It's normally quit snappy at least with Android 9 and 10. Lagging is a potential sign of system instability, often the only warning you'll get before a boot loop. Try in safe mode and see how it's running. If it runs well in safe mode a 3rd party app(s) is likely gumming it up. Get rid of all social media trashware and shopping apps on the phone.

Also clear the system cache on the boot menu.

Clear app caches; SD Maid does a good job at this and deep cleaning on a stock Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] JulesMarcus1234:
The biggest one to make your phone feel faster (works with pretty much every android phone), is to enable developer settings and scrolling down to the screen animation section. There you can set the animation speeds. There are three different settings which you could change. I always put all three of them to 0.5x instead of the default 1x. This makes your phone feel way faster, because it actually performs the animations faster. The appdrawer will open up faster etc. You could give it a go. I actually swear by it. Works amazing.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] blackhawk:
Turn off all animations. See what you got.

I never use them; a waste of resources and irritating especially if the phone really is fast.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mewcatchew:
I find it looks more polished at 0.5X. Not slow, not nothing, just right. For me The UI is just too abrupt shutting them off entirely. Personal preference.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] blackhawk:
I've tried that but still prefer to see the raw speed.

It also helps you see any lag that indicates a problem. Best to nip anything like that in the bud. Slower phones need something to try and hide the lag, the N10+ doesn't have that issue. It's the first Note that brought some real punch to the mix.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mewcatchew:
But the Exynos 1280 isn't a slow SOC, just not optimized. It beats the SD 695G in most benchmarks, yet my Nord N20 beats the $#*t out of it. I think it needs optimizing.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] blackhawk:
A fast phone is like love, no test can tell you, you just know it's fast, through and through, to the bone🤣

All Samsung's should be optimized. This N10+ was a hot running mess of a battery hog. Hard to believe it's the same now fast, cool running phone after I optimized it.

Optimizing them has a steep learning curve but it's easy once you think it though.

Once optimized and running well don't upgrade or update the firmware. I don't allow apps, especially Samsung apps to update... updates can and do break things. DO Not update the firmware on Buds+ etc if they sound and work well. Had a firmware update screw up my one pair. Have 2 new pairs still on factory loaded firmware that sound great, like the first pair did before the "improved" firmware. Typical Samsung bs...

[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Seblo:
hello,

has anyone experienced the beta for Android 13 on Xiaomi 12 pro ?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] NOSS8:
Android 13 beta do you have a link?

I answer my question

https://www.mi.com/global/service/support/androidtbeta.html
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] trinadhchinna7:
I have used it for a short while, its basically an AOSP GSI image of android 13 and nothing more, if you want to have MIUI features you will be disappointed, security patch is of may I think and it has no updates from may not even google security patch but you get to experience pixel kind of vibes without the smoothness though
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] Seblo:
Does it support Dolby Atmos too ?
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] trinadhchinna7:
I haven't seen any mention of dolby atmos in that build I am not sure though
[Xiaomi 12 Pro] aleksgiab:
and when will it be officially available to all users?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] cnlson:
So I was trying to charge as fast as possible and multiple qc2 and 3 chargers were only slow charging. I assume this is due to the unisoc vs Qualcomm chipset. I was able to determine that pd chargers will quick charge at nearly 15 W. But only Samsung chargers with afc and one anker, with iq2 I think, will charge at non pd high speed charging
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] blackhawk:
Use a known good Samsung 25w brick/cable to simplify troubleshooting... it's hard enough to begin with.

If battery start charge temp is <65F or >100F or has greater than a 75% charge on it, fast charging may be disabled. Display must be off.

Edit <oops>
[Samsung Galaxy Tab A8 (2021)] cnlson:
I have an Rd tc-66 so I can see exactly what volt/amp/watt is being supplied. I used an anker, aukey, and several other chargers. Only the Samsung fast charger, the anker and any pd charger I tried were able to fast charge. I used 1 USB a to c cable for all chargers, so it worked on 2 qc chargers and not on 4 qc2 and qc3 chargers. For pd chargers, it was the same c to c cable, and all pd chargers provided 8-9v and 1.4-1.7a.

My quess, again, is that the unisoc chipset doesn't favor Qualcomm quick charge, so it's limited to Samsung afc and pd for high speed charging.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] txmav:
I am using LineageOS 18.1 with the default calendar app Etar.

I noticed a couple of things:

1. If I get an .ics/.vcs calendar file via email or text, Etar is not offered up as an app that can handle it.

2. I've looked for away to import .ics or .vcs files from inside the app and haven't found any. Perhaps I missed something.

I looked under default apps under "Apps & notifications" and Etar is not listed like browser ,SMS etc.

Is there a way to import .ics/.vcs files into Etar?

Any suggestions, comments or advice would be welcome.

TIA
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] txmav:
The solution was to use the default file manager "Files" that comes with LineageOS and then clicking on the .ics/.vcs files located in my downloads folder. Etar then gets offered up, as an app that can process the file. I was using a different file manager, which doesn't recognize .ics/.vcs file types.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] Benjamin Loison:
When doing so on my end it only imports the first event of the .ics file.
[Google Pixel 6] Light0148:
Hello all! I had malware on my android, specifically Pixel 6, for a while it seems and I managed to uninstall the problamatic application/file that had malware. I also ran malwarebytes, but to be on the safer side I also factory reset my phone, but I wanted to know if the malware that I had for a while would have infected the system itself in that time which would make the factory reset useless and what I should do if that is the case. Just for some background information, my phone is also unrooted and the malware app/file came from third-party sites I believe. I found out I had malware when I ran the files/apps through "VirusTotal", one of which was "android/banker.bga tr", I have not had any issues during the time I had the malwares in terms of pop ups or battery drainage.

I would appreciate any help that you could provide.
[Google Pixel 6] blackhawk:
As long as the boot loader is locked and you're on Android 9 or higher, a factory reset will kill any malware on it... unless you reload it!
[Google Pixel 6] Light0148:
Oh! Perfect, so as long as I do not load any backups (just to be safe), I should be fine? Also should I be worried of the damage the malwares have caused at this point?
[Google Pixel 6] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Yes to the first question, and no to the second. Malware is concerned with stealing data, not frying components.
[Google Pixel 6] Light0148:
My apologies, I should have been more specific I meant in terms of data. I changed my passwords, but is there anything else I should do? Also are Whatsapp backups safe, or not? Thank you again for helping!
[Google Pixel 6] blackhawk:
Scrutinize everything you load. If it breached your database it must be found and deleted.

Scripted Android malware jpegs are real... they can trash files in any folder they are in, maybe more.

The damages, if any, are leaked data, account names/passwords and your time.

Reset all passwords especially your Google account password. Write it down, don't lose it!

Always delete the Google account before you factory reset and when possible do the factory reset from settings rather than from the boot menu. To avoid issues with FRP...
[Google Pixel 6] 96carboard:
Do not trust ANYTHING owned by mark zuckerturd (whatsapp).

Favor OPEN SOURCED software (F-droid is a good source).

Don't use anything from untrusted sources (from governments or sketchy sources or sketchy places).

[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] bscorpion09:
I recently received my Xiaomi 12S Ultra and I see that the screen comes with a protector pre-installed, but it also seems that it has a camera lens protector pre-installed? Can someone confirm if this is the case? This way I wont have to worry about scratches, or buying a protector.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] kyero985:
I received my Xiaomi 12S Ultra a few days ago and I also noticed a pre-applied front screen protector and there's definitely something on the camera lens. I can see there's an outline that doesn't make contact with the gold ring but am struggling to peel it off as it seems quite hard (either that or I'm just being too careful).

I would expect the lens to have gorilla glass protection though?
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] bscorpion09:
I see that outline you are referring but dont want to mess it up. I cant find any mention online if the lens has a protector installed or if it has gorilla protection. I ordered a case that protects the lens just in case.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] kyero985:
I spent 30 mins trying to peel it off but in the end, decided to leave it as I didn't want to risk it either.

I bought the $40 official Xiaomi black leather case and it has a noticeable circular ring at the back to elevate the camera bump even when it's placed on a flat surface, so that'll do.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Gioeli:
Where is JerryRigEverything when you need him 😂.

But from the way I see it, there isn't any protector on the lens. Factory protectors are usually plastic, which are easy to scratch. I already have tiny scratch on the display protector. None on the lens.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] bscorpion09:
I ordered a case from AliExpress that covers the lens and has openings for the cameras and sensors.

I also emailed Xiaomi global support hoping they can confirm if the lens have some sort of protection (film protector or Gorilla glass protection). Waiting for their response.

[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] skr3328:
I bought this on Taobao for my lens and found it fits the phone perfectly.

View attachment 5666165

I did some search and it seems the cap only sold in China. I can only find one without logo on Aliexpress:

https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001488602004.html?spm=a2g0o.seodetail.topbuy.1.5c2011ae5g8j4l

I am sure this is the same one I bought and they removed the logo due to legal issue to sell it outside of China. I am confident that you may ask the dealer to give you one with logo. This is a high quality cap meets Leica standard IMO however you need to use the xiaomi official case for the 12s ultra, otherwise the cap won't fit.

Thank you very much for the link. I will contact the seller and ask if they brand this protector with "Leica". The 12S Ultra original case is already ordered and on the way.
[Xiaomi 12S Ultra] Gioeli:
JerryRigEverything comes to the rescue:

It doesn't say what type of glass is, but his steel knife couldn't scratch the lens glass, so I'm guessing the back glass doesn't actually have any type of protector, but it's made of glass with hardness of level 6.

Most steel knifes are mineral level of hardness of 5 - 5.5.

Pretty sure the system partition can only be mounted RO on this phone. you have to break apart the super image file, change permissions to the partitions, rebuild and flash. Search the boards for systemRW or superunpack tool. That should get the ball rolling.
