[Samsung Galaxy A40 Questions & Answers] oneminutetotwelve:
Hey I wish you a nice evening!

My Samsung Galaxy A40 does not boot, it is stuck on the Samsung Galaxy A40 Secured by Knox powered by Android Screen.

After some time it comes to the android recovery, but unfortunately it is OEM locked and I think USB debugging is disabled.

I tried the following things anyway:

wipe cache and factory reset

adb sideload (only this mode is available) with the original firmware results in "Error 21 Signature verification failed"

And from download mode I tried:

flash the original software (android 9, 10, 11) till I am at bios version 4 and can't get back --> result: only erasing data is shown, I did not get any further

flash twrp --> forbidden by OEM lock

I don't know any further, my next step would be to replace the motherboard, but if you have any idea that could solve the problem, please add a comment.

And as time passed I also tried Samsung SmartSwitch to fix the software, but it failed too.

In my opinion it is maybe a hardware fault..

Thank you very much

Hi all,

I post here as I have a Pixel 6Pro, but it is a general question.

I live in a country where Google Play/Wallet is not officially available.

This means that I cannot use my phone to do payments through NFC.

I have a local bank account and a Revolut account (with a Lituanian IBAN, which in theory should work with Google Play/Wallet).

Could someone explain me if the problem of not having Google Play/Wallet working in my country is related to Google or if it due to my bank? I complained for years with my bank, but nothing is happening (and it seems that no other local bank can make it working).

Does someone know any possible work around to finally use NFC payments on my phone?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] KOLIOSIS:
I don't have the out-of-country issue, but, my bank doesn't work with Google Wallet, only Samsung Pay & Apple Play.

I'd start out with calling your bank & ask if any of the three (Google Wallet/Samsung Pay/Apple Pay) are used.

If your country is supposed to be supported for Google Wallet (per the links listed above), & you've already reached out to your bank, I'd take it up with Google, see if they can help.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] giopas:
Thank you Koliosis, but my bank keeps repeating they are working on it.

Would changing the payment profile make any difference?

Indeed if I go to https://pay.google.com/gp/w/home/paymentmethods I have three profiles, the one of my residence country and two others from other countries where, in the past years, I bought Google devices (Pixel and Android TV or Chromecast). Does anybody know what switching profile would entail?

Thanks!
[Touch CDMA General] zkush:
is there a way i can do this so i can fit more on my phone and listen to more music?
[Touch CDMA General] TheChampJT:
Are you using an 8GB SD?

I have 500+ songs, 2 full length movies, documents, photos, and other program files on my card with 2GB still left.
[Touch CDMA General] NotATreoFan:
MP3 files are already compressed at an approximate ratio of 11:1, so there's not much more you can do to them other than re-encoding them to a lower bitrate.
[Touch CDMA General] hotrod101:
Exactly - Encode the mp3 to a lower bitrate; however, you will loose sound quality - I personally wouldn't do it. Get a bigger memory card to fit more music - that is what I really suggest
[Touch CDMA General] zkush:
thanks. i need to get an 8gb, but im broke as of now :( anyone wanna play the role of santa claus and send me one?
[Touch CDMA General] derekwilkinson:
You can find them for around <$20 on eBay ;)
[Touch CDMA General] NotATreoFan:
8GB Class 4 SDHC for $20 shipped on NewEgg. Kingston, not a no-name card.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] buggs1a:
I tried the 4 classic on my pixel 4 xl. It won’t finish setup. Tried three times. Took it back. Best Buy guy said there’s a software bug that prevents the Galaxy watch 4 classic from working on any non s22 or s21 phone.

What’s going on?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] blackhawk:
Wearables needs all it's many permissions or it will not load/work true even on a Samsung.

There's been an issue with the Pixels and Google even locked a thread about it on their own forum with no solution found.

Talk about sticking their head in the sand...
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] buggs1a:
What does this mean? Basically you need an S21/22?

I run the app on the phone. It starts the setup and sits there about 50%. Then a notipops up saying you need to connect to the watch. It’s already connected. Tapping connect or cancel or whatever does nothing. The pop up just times out and goes away. The 50% set up or whatever the % is, it just stays there. Tried 3 x then returned the watch. The BB guy said it’s a software issue that no phones will work now with the current software unless the phone is the S21/22.

I don’t get it.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] blackhawk:
I don't know. Invariably Samsung will eventually fix the issues just don't hold your breath waiting for it.

As with most of the Samsung accessories it's optimized and integrated for the Samsung ecosystem. Even some Samsung users are having issues apparently.

The other side of this is sometimes you need to play with Samsung apps a bit. My Buds+ will run at first on the latest version of Wearables but eventually the audio screws up. Solution, install the older version which works, has a better UI and then Firewall block the the update UID for it so it doesn't auto update and self destruct🤣

I make adjustments as needed... got a 2nd pair of Buds+ order, which shows you how rattled I am.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] buggs1a:
Wow lol. It’s been months and they haven’t fixed it. Insane. Could be on purpose too. Wanting to sell Galaxy phones. Hmm.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] blackhawk:
Well that could be Best Buys intent.

You give Samsung too much credit; this likely wasn't planned... which is why it happened🤣

The original Buds were a mess when first released. It took a year worth of sequential firmware updates to dial them in.

There been reported problems with newer models as well I believe I saw as I was reading. Anymore I'll never preorder or be the first to buy their products or "test" their updates. Instead I buy when known to be good. It's always been hit or miss with Samsung to a greater or lesser degree. They are capable of producing exceptional products and bone rattling duds.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] buggs1a:
Best Buy intent? I was saying Samsung maybe did this on purpose.

Anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] blackhawk:
I have zero faith in Best Buy. They are a horror to deal with... they tried my patience for the last time 2 years ago.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] omid_nr:
there is a software issue or something make watch 4 classic dont work on non samsung or even older samsung like s9 s10 that make you have trouble and think about upgrading the phone which personally im sure its on purpose by samsung you may be able to connect the phone doing factory reset but me and alot of people cant connect google account to the watch afterward which there is no fix till now ofc hoping the new upcoming wear os 3.5 and one ui 4.5 update will fix it but if not thats just it personally i was so intrested in s22 ultra and was thinking to buy it before this happened but if the update wont fix it i will never pay samsung in my life in any sort of way
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] blackhawk:
Factory reset is a waste of time; try a network reset instead!

Even with the Buds+ the getting them working takes some effort sometimes. The spen can be the same way.

If the Wearables app is screwed up, nothing may work. An older version may work but it requires some effort to load and keep from updating which would break it again.

Deliberate? No Samsung doesn't need to intentionally try to screw things up, it comes naturally🤣 Sammy's been dropping balls a lot lately.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] bluetigger68:
I`ve been using my watch 4 classic with my 4XL without any issues since May before upgrading to my P6P. And after upgrading to my P6P I didn`t run into any issues. What I`ve experienced when setting up my watch 4 classic for the first time was that the samsung wearable app was switching screens after providing credentials for my g account and therefore was hiding the permissions quote and the wearable app was waiting for the authorisation to use the g account. Those sammy blue dots were circling around for many minutes. Happened to me twice. Using the back ´gesture let me grant the permissions needed and t he setup process just went through smoothly.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] blackhawk:
The infamous circling blue dots make me cringed every time I see them now. Like some alien from Star Trek eyeballing you😳

Wearables will puke all over unless all permissions* are granted. Something I really hate about Wearables. Reminds me of the bixby spyware. Lol, don't worry Samsung servers are secure... until the next hack🤣

*check that all permissions have been checked manually as it doesn't always happen during installation for whatever reasons.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] buggs1a:
Thanks all.

I had the S22+. No issue. But returned the watch and phone because the phone screen shuts off if I don’t touch it for a bit when playing games. Some games I play auto battle and takes awhile so no need to touch. So I returned them both yesterday.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 4] blackhawk:
Only 8gb of ram, max 256gb internal storage and no expandable storage, rounded display corners... yeah I'm not feeling it.

Good call.

[Apple Watch] buggs1a:
I’ve tried many Apple watches and non Apple watches. None of them are accurate with tracking distance.

I go to a track. I go a mile or whatever. Every single watch is not accurate. It will say .25 for one lap. Then gets worse every lap. Each lap is worse then the one before.

Or it can be accurate for 2 laps. .50. But then gets worse each consecutive lap.

I have tried Apple Watch series 3, 5 and now 7. Fitbit sense. Garmin venue 2 plus. They all exhibit the same behavior but with different results.

I just returned the Apple Watch 7 Nike edition lte. The build in Apple walk workout open goal said 0.41 after a half mile. The Nike app for the next time I walked a mile said I went 0.88 even though I went 1.0 mile.

I’ve been to different tracks too. Always the same issue. Gps is connected and good. No clouds. Everything is good.

What the heck is going on?

Turns out, running is a mental sport.

I also agree. I run often and my apple watch is not keeping the right calculations
[Touch HD General] dh-paule:
it cost me €584

and its working well, no problems with hanging or soft reset,

love it more and more, everytime I use it

ok, some minor things happend... some problems with third party applications such as spb pocket plus (drop down menu not working) but now its one week of usage and it works as expected from HTC
[Touch HD General] IceEyz:
Lol, this is going the wrong way with these two threads :).

Yet, I love it as well... So I hope it gets delivered soon :P.
[Touch HD General] brainfogs:

[Touch HD General] chr5s11:
Two thumbs up!:D
[Touch HD General] donzx6:
Agree, I think it is the best yet from HTC.

Not perfect IMHO, but the cooks will sort that out fairly quickly I am hoping (paypal at the ready lol).

Things that would perfect it for me?

Hmm, coffee maker?

No seriously, it would be nice if TF3D were more customisable in an easier fashion. And if Opera were just that little bit quicker.

Already done the Thumbcal & iContact hacks.
[Touch HD General] utvol06:
I love my Touch HD too..Best product yet from HTC and the best WM device I've ever used.

The OP of the hate thread is trolling....anyone with a history of Windows Mobile devices realizes its not for the average joe and WM6.1 is not perfect either, but has so much more customizability and abillities it is worth the hick-ups. I think WM 7 will take away all gripes about WMobile and the devices carrying it.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] sicksick:
i open my device back glass now device is connected with 9008 drivers with test point. but don't have MSM login pass kindly someone help me
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
I really wish you'd done some reading before doing that.

There isn't a working MSM tool for the 10 pro.

There's a firehose hack but no one has ever done it.

Seeing as you've opened your device you've now lost warranty, so your only other option is to pay for the MSM tool.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] sicksick:
in my country(Pakistan) there is no official technical support for 10 pro

for official support i have to send my device to another nearest country(UAE)

i have no other option then this i have searched alot but this is the only way for me
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
Well there's another thread talking about opening up the device for this very reason, you may want to take a look at that, although the method seems extremely difficult for an average user.

On top of that there are online services that will let you use MSM for a fee.

If you do use these, use a keylogger and pinch their login details
[OnePlus 10 Pro] sicksick:
can u give me the link of authentic site so i can fix my problem
[OnePlus 10 Pro] dlads:
I don't know it and they're not authentic, just Google it mate..
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] ej8989:
My OnePlus 7T Global HD1903 was on stock OOS Stable for almost 3 years now.

I just decided to update to OOS12 Beta 2 (Indian) yesterday and overall, I like it!

Official update guide here: OxygenOS 12 Open Beta 2 for the OnePlus 7T and OnePlus 7T Pro

Improvements:

1. Stock launcher: now has Google Feeds built-in.

2. Stock launcher: can now lock home screen icon arrangements. This is especially a big deal for me because I always mis-swipe icons and accidentally rearrange them.

3. Game mode: swipe notification banner is now easier to use. You can easily adjust brightness now, which is what I always use when gaming.

4. WiFi and Bluetooth connects faster.

5. Mobile data: signal is more stable. This surprised me a lot because this is an Indian ROM flashed on a Global device. I live in the Philippines, so it may vary from country to country.

6. Fast switching between mobile data and wifi, unlike on OOS11 where there's around 3 seconds of delay.

7. More stable fingerprint scanning (FOD) so it feels faster too, unlike on OOS11 when there are instances that I have to try 3x before my fingerprint gets recognized.

8. Larger PIN input when restarting device and FOD is disabled.

9. Lowest brightness is now even lower. Very good when you use your phone in pitch black environments.

What's missing, and what can be improved:

1. AOD: still the same old crappy Sometimes On Display. My Oppo Reno has a proper AOD, which I thought would be implemented in this update.

2. Recents: app settings cannot be launched directly anymore.

3. Notification banners: button texts are buggy/cut (like Reply or Like). Although this is an Android 12 issue, OnePlus could have fixed it.

4. Stock launcher: home screen icons cannot be set individually. (I bought icon packs for this feature)

5. Stock launcher: home screen icons cannot be renamed anymore. (You can remove app names completely)

6. Dolby Atmos is now disabled when using built-in speakers. Ironically, I only enable them when using the built-in speakers to make sound louder.

7. VoLTE and VoWiFI

Bugs and Nitpicks (but not dealbreakers):

1. Very long boot time. Logo always stuck for 40 seconds before boot animation shows up.

2. Boot animation stutters (low FPS).

3. On standard home screen mode (drawer disabled), SIM Toolkit apps always show up on the home screen after every reboot, even if you put them in a folder.

4. Some apps think that the device/sim is Indian, so there are notifications telling you to enable Roaming. Just disable these notifications once, then they'll stop showing up.

5. Lock screen colors are still oversaturated when FOD is enabled (same with OOS10 and OOS11). This is why I just use a black wallpaper for lockscreen.

6. Stock launcher icon names can now only be removed completely (no app names on drawer too), unlike before where it only doesn't show on the home screen.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] ontwykende:
I finaly update myself... But I am little disappinted.

first of all, AOD on OOS 11 (oob5) worked perfectly... it doesn't work here... it just is.

I have a big lag when I want to use gestures, especially when I want to leave the gallery in the home screen... everything seems to be slower.

Third, the phone and phonebook app is now much worse... it's much slower to find a name in the phone book.

Fourth, the theme substratum does not work, pureblack for example, so the notification shade is not black as I would like it to be... and all the colors seem washed out to me.

Five, no advinced power menu any more... And no optio for clear cache in recovery

I use Nova and I like it....

High performance mod... is for me must be on
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] ej8989:
Thanks for sharing your experience!

Although mine is quite the opposite (everything is more responsive / no lag).

My device isn't rooted though, and I upgraded from stable rom. So ymmv.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] ontwykende:
When I turn off substratum... its now faster and feel like before... But I prefere black in dark mode and not gray...

Also I will disable... Theme Store and Work Life Balance (I realy do not need) and Scout... What is that? Do you use it? Sports (how to acces that app) ?

And I am realy frustrated with new phonebook/call app

EDIT: I still have this bug... with gallery app and only Gallery app for now...

When I swap from botom to top... to go to home screen... bacj is just fine... but going straith to home not working in gallery app
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] ontwykende:
Do you know what is Onet app?

Is it India specific? Like Idwntificarion of Unknow Number (doea it work in eu) ?

Also is there any easy way like iit was on 11 to check/change battery optimisation for specific app... or I need to go from settings and to look for app in the hole list?
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] ej8989:
I also use swipe navigation but don't have that issue on the Gallery app. I can smoothly transition from Gallery to Home Screen. I uploaded a video: CLICK HERE

Regarding apps you don't need, there is an option to disable them in the app settings.
[OnePlus 7T Guides, News, & Discussion] ontwykende:
On the end... I find that my bigrst problem is notificstion lock screen. When I get notificstion I have it for first time, but if I unlock and relock without open notificstin at all... it disappears from lock screen.

Does anyone know how to fix that behavior... Notification not show on LockScreen?

And AOD, not working... All time.... on OB5 ti was working all time if you whant that. Here it just disappear if you do not touch or move phone. I disklike that behavior.

Also I find out that Tasker, or any other app on 12 can not disable network status (2G/3G/4G) even with root.
