[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Flyos:
It was 12Mpixels (4000x3000) if I'm not mistaken. FYI, it seems Libre Camera on FDroid takes pictures with decent file size!
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ethical_haquer:
At 16.04 MP a RAW photo I take is ~32 MP as well, and varied (one was 32.10, the other was 32.11). These are bigger then PNG and WEBP, but much smaller than JPEGs. Also, so far, only JPEG files are all the same size.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ethical_haquer:
I'm downloading it to try it out! Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
I usually download stock firmware from samfw.com, but there are also programs like Frija or Samloader that do the job just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ethical_haquer:
Nice find, all files, including JPEGs, are showing as normal sizes. I will have to experiment before updating my thread and post to reflect this. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Flyos:
Yeah, it's normal, but for some reason, it always saves at 2Mpixels for me. Is it the same for you?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ethical_haquer:
Thanks, I have looked there, but try searching "SM-A525F", It brings up my device. However, It doesn't list any firmware with a United States csc code. Like I said, I'm in the U.S. and my device is unlocked, so what one should I download? I was wondering if I could install one from a different country, but it sounds like that might cause problems with OTA updates and wireless standards. I'm really not sure what to do if nowhere has any U.S. firmware. :unsure:

EDIT: there is a SRR "unknown" firmware, would that work?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ethical_haquer:
Yes, I noticed that. It's always saying 2.1MP in files.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] rien333:
No, seeing this too. I guess people just haven't noticed. I ran magick -quality 100 original.jpg new.jpg, and found that new.jpg is much smaller (48Mb vs. 2.2Mb, for the new one). Perhaps that indicates that there's a lot of compressable data somewhere?

EDIT:

Just ran git diff -a on those two files. I found that the original jpg contains tons and tons of the string "^@", espcially towards the end. Maybe that accounts for the size difference?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ethical_haquer:
@Simon1511, @Flyos, and @rien333:

I am glad some progress is being made with the photo size issue, and I hope that the cause of the issue will be found. However, I am sadly not going to be able to help anymore, because I am in the process of going back to stock due to voLTE. I will be back to help with testing in a couple months or so after I get a different phone for calling (Perhaps the Volla Phone 22). Best regards, @ethical_haquer
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] rien333:
Did not find anything new, but confirmed and quantified my suspicions.

Essentially, there is about 47MB worth of zeros at the end of every jpg (that's 47 million zeros). There might be other large patches of zeros here and there, but I have not looked into those. Pretty sure its always the same amount of zeros.

Indeed, if run trunctate -s -47MB *jpg in my camera folder (which is Unix for "remove the last 47MB of every jpg"), I end up wit jpgs that are much smaller (obviously!) and still open correctly. If you have termux on your phone, you can run that truncate command to losslessly shave some megs from your pics. (maybe make sure that there is indeed 47MB of zeros - hexdump -c helped me here)

@Flyos is this worth reporting upstream?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ethical_haquer:
I would imagine Lineage might want to look into this. :) Wow.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Flyos:
I wouldn't know, I'm a mere user here! But I'm sure @Simon1511 would have an idea.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] rien333:
Woops, that's what I meant 😅
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
Yes, feel free to report it on LineageOS's issue tracker.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] TestUserG:
Is there any workaround for reversed audio for Internet calls? Maybe you could change to aosp audio @Simon1511 ?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
A fix is being worked on.

Currently there is no workaround for that and just "changing to AOSP audio" is by far easier said than done. A52 and A72 use a different audio configuration than what Qualcomm ships as default with 720G. Apart from that we still lack the source code for the built-in Amplifier which would require a lot of reverse-engineering, time, and trial-and-error.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] TestUserG:
Yes, all samsung phones have this problem (even older, such as a70). Most devs switch to aosp audio, but this has drawbacks such as echo in calls, low volume... Reverse engineering should not be easy (volte needs it too...)
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] RisenID:
Please contact me via PM here or via PM on my telegram account, we have a possible fix ready for the testing phase, and would appreciate your help in making sure that it works for yall.

Any others who are having issues ralated to call audio not being audible on bluetooth headphones, please feel free to do the same.

[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] zupert:
Hi there,

tonight i tried to update from lineageos 19.1 to lineageos 20

Somehow i must have missed something, because the phone does not boot the system anymore :(

I can boot into recovery, or into fastboot.

But when i start to system, i got the security error screen, with the following message in red:

SECURE CHECK FAILED : dtbo(11)

do you have any idea on what i should do to fix it?

Thank you in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Rampler:
I have had the same message. Unfortunately I had to reinstall everything. (Back to stock and migrate to LOS again) However, the dtbo.img has recently been added to the LOS download page. I would try to flash the dtbo.img. It can't get any worse.

In the meanwhile i am back to stock again.

regards Klaus
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] zupert:
This is how i ended also.

First I tried to flash the file dtbo.img via fastboot but i got an error: remote, folder does not exist.

So I flashed the stock rom from sammobile, amd from there did a hard reset and reflashed lineageos again.

The good news is that my phone is not a useless brick, but the bad news is that i need to reinstall everything again. Too bad, i was hoping to keep my setup...

Maybe Simon knows if there had been another solution?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
I've not had this issue on my own phone yet, but will check if there's a better solution.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Rampler:
I used seedvault, which is included in LOS. Therefore most things were restored ..
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] moni93:
Please solve this issue.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] rien333:
If you want to get help, you really need to elaborate more. Describe what you expect to happen, and what *actually* happens.

Also, the brevity of your message makes you come across really entitled - nobody owes you anything, after all!
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] xinouch:
Hello!

Do you know if LineageOS integrates Wireguard in the kernel by default? Or maybe you already have added it?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
Nope, by default Wireguard is not supported by LineageOS and our kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] alzk:
Hello!

I'm a lineageOS user for years and a user of this version for 2month now.

It's quite smooth and stable and I'm grateful that there's maintainers for this ROM!

I'm also glad to see that a fix for the bluetooth issue may come!

Unfortunatly I have a weird issue with the screen brightness.

When I unlock my phone the brightness change to a weird value !

Sometime it goes to max, sometimes to min ( and in full sunlight you cannot see anything on the screen)!

i don't think it is a luminosity sensor issue as the behaviour is the same when I disable the automatic brightness.

Also the slider to adjust the brightness in the notification bar isn't updated when the brightness changes....

Anybody face the same issue? Can I bring some log to determine the problem?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
You're probably unlocking your phone with fingerprint, right?

From what I see this is an issue with the HBM-mode (high brightness mode) used for fingerprint where it does not properly reset to the previous brightness.

I'll take a look at it.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] alzk:
Yep! I removed my stored fingerprint and the bug isn't here anymore!

Good guess !

Now I have to remind my banking app and keepass password ^^'

I hope there's a fix.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] xinouch:
Just found sth funny: in settings -> system -> languages -> languages -> add a language

The first 2 values are debug stuff I guess, and should be removed?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] xinouch:
Hey! Dumb question as Android 14 is making its way to be released: If samsung doesn't release Android 14 for our device, will it still be possible to have LineageOS 21?

Indeed, to be able to install LOS20, we had to install stock image of Android 13 first (to get some OneUI binaries?).
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
Yes, Android 14 should be possible even without official support from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] ayd19071:
when I use mobile data, I get a notification that your Whatsapp connection is being checked and I can't send a message. When I connect to Wifi network again, I can send messages. I have this problem only on whatsapp. Any help?Lineage Os 20 and Crdroid 9.4 unofficial I tried both and had the same problem
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] sxjg23:
I found an annoying bug:

if defined multiple users, when switching between them, the brightness on the new user is at minimum, so when outside with sunlight it is *very* difficult to unlock the screen on the new user, it is barely visible.

Please take a look., dev.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
Good news!

I've been continuing on fixing bugs and tiny issues reported for a long time. Following issues have been addressed:

Speaker and Earpiece output in VoIP calls (for example Whatsapp, Discord, etc) are no longer reversed

Audio in phone calls with some bluetooth headphones or Smartwatches doesn't play from speaker/earpiece anymore

The fingerprint icon on the lock screen no longer appears on top of the lockscreen text

Removed Dolby audio effect as it didn't actually impact audio quality and in exchange added back AudioFX

Improved vibration intensities

Set FOD color to white (as on stock ROM)

The screen now doesn't get darker when using FOD but instead keeps its brightness (fixes FOD on AOD failing)

Prevent the screen from jumping to high brightness (and getting stuck there) after unlocking with fingerprint

Switched back to Camera2 to fix pictures being ~100mb each

Fixed "Extend compatibility" toggle in Hotspot settings

A few notes on above changelog:

We (@Ryzen5950XT ) and I have been working on the Bluetooth-phone-call-fix for around 2 months now and even now it still is not 100% rock solid. Sometimes you may encounter crackling audio for a few seconds when switching output devices or in rare cases even no audio in a call. We're still working on improving the general quality of this fix, but believe that it has become good enough to be usable as a daily driver.

In terms of the Camera issue where it produces ~100mb pictures: I've been able to track this down to an issue with CameraX support on our phones but so far have had no luck figuring out what exactly the culprit is. However, LineageOS guidelines require me to ship a fully working Camera app. Therefore I will (temporarily) have to ship the old, feature-less Camera2 instead of Aperture.

All these changes will be available starting from the next LineageOS builds for A52 and A72, which will most likely be 12th May (A52) and 13th May (A72).

And as always, please keep reporting bugs and inform me about possible improvements.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] alzk:
Just tested the last update.

No more brightness issue when I unlock with fingerprints, but the probleme seems to still exist when unlocking with the pattern. :-/

I also tested bluetooth audio issue with a Bose QuietConfort 35 II and at first the problem was the same.

Then I switched to phone speaker and go back to bluetooth during a phone call and the sound was played in the headphone.

Dont know yet if this behaviour will occurs each time, but at least I have a workaround! :-)

Congratulation and thanks again for your work.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] thatdevsherry:
Hi, I just clean flashed the latest update. The AOD (Ambient display) screen gets messed up when I enable it to be "always on". The AOD turns on correctly for the first 2 or 3 seconds, and then turns into a grainy texture.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
As far as I know a similar issue existed on NcX, and there you could fix it by flashing the latest stock ROM firmware. Might wanna try that, guide is here.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] thatdevsherry:
Nice. I'll try flashing the latest one. Do you mind guiding which firmware I'm supposed to download? I remember flashing (probably the wrong one) one time on my device and it ended up getting stuck on a "secure check failed" screen. Had to flash the entire stock firmware to recover from that.

I can see the baseband version on the about phone -> android version -> baseband version, which is A525FXXU5DWB6. Could you please let me know which release to download?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
Just scroll through the releases on that github repository until you find one that starts with A525F. They're sorted by date, so the first one you'll find is the latest firmware available.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] thatdevsherry:
I flashed the latest stock firmware and the issue has been resolved. Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SuperUser008:
Now I also flashed the firmware via Odin and I get the "secure check fail" error. Is there any way to recover my phone without losing the data?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
Try flashing dtbo.img from stock ROM with Odin and see if that fixes it.

Also, would you be able to share a picture of the actual error?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SuperUser008:
At the top: "SECURE CHECK FAIL : vbmeta(11)"
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SuperUser008:
OK. Where do I get dtbo.img from stock ROM? :)

Edit: And in what slot to flash it?
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
Sorry, i expected a different error message.

The one in your picture says vbmeta, so please try flashing the disabled vbmeta from here again in the AP slot in Odin.

You will need to connect your phone to a PC and then force reboot your phone (hold down power and volume down button for ~10secs) and then immediately hold down the download mode combo.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SuperUser008:
OK, done that, now the same error screen appears but with this error message: "SECURE CHECK FAIL : dtbo(11)"
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
See if flashing this one in Odin in AP slot helps:
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] SuperUser008:
OK, it boots into recovery now. But it says:

"Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt. ..."

With the two options: "Try again" (will get me there again) and "Factory data reset".

But now I am also able to get to the recovery menu and have all the advanced options there.
[Samsung Galaxy A52 4G] Simon1511:
See if just flashing lineage again works.

How do I register fusion voicmail? The service provider tab won't open! Neway have an idea???
[G1 Apps and Games] spyler03:
it wasnt working for me but i just tried it again and it fills it in already. so i just registered. but i guess i have to wait to download something else.
[G1 Apps and Games] twistkill:
Yeah the app is kinda redundant. Its a good start tho, could be better.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ssantos6981:
Not that bad...

I don't mind the app much. If you are like me, I only have 300 minutes, most of my calls are to myfaves so its free, the few minutes I have, I don't want to spend listening to prompts and voicemail. This app will save me 30+ minutes a month.

I registered on pvmplus.com after you add your first number there is an arrow that says "next" or "done" right under the place where you can add another number. The next page will ask to send you an sms and you have to enter the verification code. After that it will tell you to change your forwarding numbers under settings and it works... somewhat. I'm actually in the process of downloading a 6 second message. 5 minutes into the process...

and 2 minutes later I still haven't downloaded the 6 second message. Fusion is stuck download. I guess you can't delete the text message phone fusion sends you (that is full of numbers and crap). Will try again after I restart my phone and send a new message.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ssantos6981:
Don't delete the sms message!!

The message is some sort of information holder so the phone can access the right VM when connecting to phone fusion's server. Without the sms you can't play the VM and will have the application stay stuck trying to download the VM.
[G1 Apps and Games] diabolical28:
i was always under the understanding that checking your voicemail was free as well i guess i might have missed something. if you get a paper bill look at the voicemail calls to see if its indicated as a free call.
[G1 Apps and Games] vr24:
I would definitely check the bill. I'm almost positive that checking voicemail is free.

I found Fusion Voicemail confusing and annoying, personally and promptly removed it.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ssantos6981:
I didn't realize VM was free. I don't use the phone much and only had a few about 60 minutes gone, I figured it was VM.

Once you get the fusion VM started it works great.

It should be getting better in the future.

For now it works great for me. You can even customize your own personal greeting now!
[G1 Apps and Games] jacknmary:
The prob I had with it was that some of my calls would go straight to voicemail... even when I had a full signal and wasnt talking on the phone. I would just never get the call.

Since I have uninstalled, i dont have that problem anymore.
[G1 Apps and Games] Ssantos6981:
Hmmm, I've been having that problem as of late. Not often, but enough times that I remember it happening. Doh! I hate waiting for the recording to shut up and give me my message. OH well, damn you fusion!!
[G1 Apps and Games] bhang:
alternatives to tmob voicemail

i like youmail.com its amazing that its a free service, try it

im not affiliated with them in anyway other than the fact that i am a user of the service, maybe somebody could write a nice gui for them, that would be great

bhang
[G1 Apps and Games] demontefixo:
youmail rocks!! (no affiliation other than a happy user..)

--M
[G1 Apps and Games] Shagman68:
LOL, T-Mobile voicemail. It is annoying. I found YouMail, and it is the most awesome voicemail system. And if you have T-Mobile @ Home service, YouMail thinks it is a cellphone and lets you use it with your home phone too. It then emails all your phone messages to you, or you can check them the normal way.

Can anyone help me with the backup of "Nvdata" & "Nvram" taken from TWRP recovery so can restore it at my end..?

I accidentally screwed IMEI & somehow managed to restore it but now getting "nv data corrupted" error with a bootloop of MIUI logo & figured out that with this method of restoring Nvdata & Nvram via TWRP can help me in fixing this issue of same model..

Thanks a lot in advance..

I have some Dev time I can spend but I don't have N idea what needed in the fold 4 space. Shoot ideas and If I can I will implement it.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] DevilMayLaughXD:
not sure this is possible now or not, but the idea is to use the cover screen as a mapping button to on screen button, for example, we can play some shooting game using the inner screen while pressing the left part of the cover screen to reload, right part of the cover screen to shot etc
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Cypher - V:
Interesting. I don't think that is possible. But let me see if there are any other way to address that
[Redmi 9C Questions & Answers] DaveCze:
Hello,

yesterday my Redmi 9C NFC lock screen didn't work and the only thing that worked was to turn off the phone, restart it, switch to airplane mode and mute it. So I factory reset it and after booting up I got the activation screen. So I filled in the password, gave the verification code from the SMS, but the phone still remains on the same screen. Does anyone know what to do with it?

Thanks in advance for your response
