[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Return it. I don't think it's "burn in" but it's not normal. Get a good copy.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] raul6:
Agreed. Back to Amazon
[General Questions and Answers] johnnyboy041:
OLED displays gets burn-in almost exclusively in places where there are a lot of elements that stay completely white all the time. Most notoriously, status bar and navbar. For some people who text a lot, I have seen burn-in for the call and video call buttons, as well as individual keyboard letters.

My question is, is there an app, or a theming engine to be precise, that would allow the user to set a time interval, during which those high persistence elements of the picture could be dimmed over time? For example, user unlocks the phone and starts typing a message - navbar, statusbar, keyboard letters are all 100% white. They remain white, then after 60 seconds they start to dim, and after 120 seconds they are at 30% brightness. So when you're having long texting sessions, keys would be dim enough so you can make them out, but since they are not leaving your muscle memory you can type just as well as if it was at 100% brightness - but you save a lot of energy and thus substantially reduce the potential for burn-in. And if you're outdoors and can't make out what the time is after those 180 seconds, you gently pull down the notification bar and it resets to 100%. Something like that.

I can't be the first person to think of this. Moreover, I think AOSP devs realized this at around version 9 and dropped the overall brightness of the status/navbar to 80%, but it remains like that the whole time. What I am proposing would be infinitely more efficient. Anyone here knows something that's able to do that?
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Avoid use in direct sunlight. Seconds not minutes if you do. Use manual brightness control and keep below 50%. Typically I comfortable use 30-40% indoors. Excessive brightness prematurely kills AMOLED displays needlessly. Excessive heat with the display on ie again direct sunlight should be avoided.

Use dark mode. The red pixels are longest live, blue the shortest; heavy blue or white usage will degrade the display the fastest.

Use icon packs and layouts that support pixel conservation. Rotate widgets and icons periodically.

This heavily use N10+ has over 8k hours on its display. There is no detectable fading, failed pixels, color inaccuracies, nothing; it remains perfect. It's a mirror image next to my new N10+ with less then 50 hours on it.

AMOLED displays can be very long lived. Everything on this homepage gets rotated slightly from time to time, even the page number icons ie 3 instead of 2.

Galaxy store>Good Lock family of apps>Quickstar
[General Questions and Answers] Fytdyh:
Is there a way to prevent burn in when using the phone in a bright environment? My job requires a bright environment.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
No other than the mods I already mentioned. AMOLEDs have a finite lifespan that's proportionately shorter or longer dependant on brightness level. The brightest stars burn the fastest...

All you can do in that case is use at minimum needed viewing brightness and try to use in shaded areas.

Maybe use a work phone so you don't burn up your personal phone.
[General Questions and Answers] johnnyboy041:
I am under the impression that none of you even read what I asked in full. I asked a very precise question regarding a particular way to mitigate burn in, nothing on HOW to to mitigate it, as I hinted in the name of this thread.

1. "Avoid use in direct sunlight." Excuse me? Phones are meant to be used outdoors, and they have been since the birth of the idea of a mobile phone.

2. I don't have a Samsung phone. What I meant was something more universal, like a Magisk module, or a root theme engine.

3. With due respect sir, everything you mentioned is more of a paranoid hassle than an automated instant-fix. What I proposed, on the other hand, is.
[General Questions and Answers] blackhawk:
Welcome to the planet. The more you run it in direct sunlight the higher the risks including outright failure. That sound better?

This isn't a backlight LCD* or a LED display. OLEDs are less robust than LEDs.

Due respect my mass... prudence isn't paranoia.

8+k hours here and no detectable damage of any kind.

* direct sunlight can fry LCDs too.
[General Questions and Answers] johnnyboy041:
Dude, nobody sets their phones to sunbathe for no reason. If the situation requires me, I'm using it the open sun. That hasn't damaged any OLED screen I used in the past 10 years. You ain't gonna convince anyone to rearrange widgets every week giving a meteor strike argument, especially with that attitude. Now please, are we over useless internet forum fights? I'm not negating any technical point you made, and what you did is certainly a way to deal with the issue, but it is objectively not practical for 99% of users.

a couple of days ago i bricked an a125f and now it won't turn on charge or go into download mode

how do i unbrick it????

PLEASE HELP
[Samsung Galaxy A12] gman6686:
Well what did you do to it? Is it recognized when plugged in?
[Samsung Galaxy A12] MauriJ2001:
You wanna try to flash using flashtool but beware you can turn into a nice brick if you don't flash the correct firmware (i tryed to downgrade and now i cant flash anymore ask's me for all firmware with signed images)
[Samsung Galaxy A12] arsfr:
i installed a android 11 kernel then locked the bootloader then accidentally installed android 12 instead of 11
[Samsung Galaxy A12] arsfr:
not recognized when plugged in
[Samsung Galaxy A12] gman6686:
Does your computer make any noise when plugged in?
[Samsung Galaxy A12] gman6686:
If it doesn’t then all I can suggest after that is using tespoints to put it in brom mode. Might take a couple trys and if you hear any noise for connection then you have hope. If brom is attainable I would try mtk client to individually flash all your original firmware .imgs. After flashing it all hopefully goes into dl mode automatically . If not unplug battery for 30 secs replug it in then do steps for dl mode and flash original bl, ap, cp, and csc. If you can’t get brom then it seems hard bricked. Make sure when you extract all the img files from bl, ap,cp, and csc they will most likely be .img.lz4 so use lz4 converter. Dont use the rom extractors bc they seem to leave out some important files. Hope it works best of luck
[Samsung Galaxy A12] arsfr:
how to get into brom?
[Samsung Galaxy A12] mvikrant97:
Using test point. Please short the point to ground and the one shown in the screenshot and your phone should be in the Brom mode.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] arsfr:
ok thanks, will try when i get time

And also what flashing tool should i use?
[Samsung Galaxy A12] arsfr:
and how do you know when your phone is in the brom mode, will it show on the screen or make a noise?
[Samsung Galaxy A12] mvikrant97:
It will show up in device manager as seen in the PORTS and COM section.

[Samsung Galaxy A12] gman6686:
It should make a noise when put into brom and in device manager it should show as mediatek vcomm. I used filter wizard to install the driver. Then from there i used mtkclient to individually flash every partition accordingly. Then i got dl mode back and just reflashed my original os. Make sure you back up all your data bc i lost my efs file and now stuck with no imei.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] arsfr:
I need to install all of those? or just the drivers and the SP Flash Tool?

Also, i just tried the test points and those failed. My model is an A125F/DSN. (I mean no mediatek vcomm or any other ports showed up) and it also didn't make a noise when i did the testpoints.
[Samsung Galaxy A12] skandala:
Guys,

I have the same issue. Samsung A125F - dead. I have no Idea what his owner done to that phone. A friend of mine brought me the phone to have a look.

I am able to enter BROM mode, I am able to bypass security.

But anytime I try to flash scatter rom - I am getting Failed to load DA Stage 2 error. Hash mismatch.

Tried UnlockTool, tried SPflashtool + bypass all tools I try, they give me error.

failed-to-load-da_stage_2-da-hash-mismatch

I am attaching unlocktool screen, but same error occurs when using SPflashtool.

I have absolutely no Idea whether this phone is even fixable.

Thank you

LineageOS is a free, community built, aftermarket firmware distribution of Android 13 (T), which is designed to increase performance and reliability over stock Android for your device.

LineageOS is based on the Android Open Source Project with extra contributions from many people within the Android community. It can be used without any need to have any Google application installed. You will need to provide your own Google Applications package (gapps). LineageOS does still include various hardware-specific code, which is also slowly being open-sourced anyway.

Thanks! I will use it as daily driver now. Everything seems working just as the last build from Android 12.

Please when you try to fix, on klte / klteduos,if you can, please fix to work on 3G only mode. On Android 11 and 12 and many other builds I tried from your custom ROM only 4G works but I preffer 3G as its more stable where I live. Thanks in advance

Thanks so much for supporting our 8 year old phone! I noticed that adoptable storage doesn't work anymore (it did on 19.1). The option doesn't show up when you insert an SD card, it just says "SD card for transferring photos and media". If I manually format it with `sm partition <disk> private` then the phone bootloops (gets to lock screen for a few seconds then crashes). Just wondering if there is a plan to get this working soon, because I fill up my phone's space fairly quickly :D.

Thanks again for keeping our old phones up-to-date!
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] craP_cillA:
if there's a versionjump, a clean flash i recommended.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] craP_cillA:
sure..but now this rom is more an early beta than an stable "final" ;) i'm waiting a month or so before flashing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kltelegacy:
I did clean flash, and I know this is still very beta, I just wanted to let the developer know that it wan't working and see if they already knew about it. Sorry

Same here, stuck on the LOS animation for an hour. Same as the last couple 19.1 builds (w/ or w/o Gapps). July 19.1 is the last one that works fine.

@kltelegacy - This is on klte. From the 12.1 thread - others (only on klte) had the same issue:

[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] gaindelioide:
Thank you very much, Sir KHALVAT for your unpayable effort in keeping our beloved Samsung Galaxy S5 KTLE always running the latest Android release. I did a clean installation of the ROM and flashed the BitGApps version 1.4 as recommended, and since the first day I am using my phone without any severe issue. The installation through TWRP version 3.6.2_9-0 went smoothly, and so did the first setup of the phone through the wizard. All my data and configurations saved on Google Drive were restored.

Today, I noticed in one of the repositories on GitHub that SELinux will pass to ENFORCING in the next release of the ROM. I hope that the missing functionalities mentioned in the OP will also be implemented.

For all those users following the thread, please do a clean installation if you really wish to enjoy Android 13 on your KLTE device.

Once again, many thanks to KHALVAT and all those contributing in code and / or giving constructive feedbacks.View attachment 5725345View attachment 5725347View attachment 5725359

Dirty Flashing khalvat's LineageOS 20 Over his 19.1

Did anybody successfully dirty flash this LineageOS 20 ROM + MindTheGapps 13 arm over khalvat's LineageOS 19.1 ROM + MindTheGapps 12?

Yes, I know that full wipe is recommended but on official LOS you can do that as it's much faster & painless. ;)

***

Edit: I Just did it via TWRP & so far so good. Thanks @khalvat! :cool:(y)

The only thing is that I had to flash Magisk-v25.2.apk via TWRP after the first boot to get root gain.

Hello! ANYBODY COULD CONFIRM NFC is working on G900F?? Because I had the same problem on v19 NFC seems to work but payment not working at all. The only answer i had on 19 thread was " you should use cash instead" --> 🤔 / Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] gaindelioide:
Hi, Sir Khalvat,

I clean flashed the latest build of the ROM on my KTLE SM-G900F and the system is up and running flawlessly, but the SIM CARD is no more being recognized. During the early stages of the development of the ROM, I flashed all the previous builds with the SIM PIN removed. Recently, I restored the usage of the SIM PIN under "Settings --> Security --> Advanced Security Settings", rebooted the phone, but then the card has not been recognized. I tried several reboots, hoping in vain that the card will be recognized.

Is there any way to restore the recognition of the SIM CARD in a running system? I place the SIM CARD in another phone and the functionality was available. I replaced my SIM CARD with the one used in another phone and the latter is recognized by the system.

Thanks for any help from any user contributing on this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] calvin4242:
As for LOS 19.1, I think it is not possible to do so in LOS 20 as SIM is not detected. The option is greyed or not present. You have to go back to ROM stock to do so before...This thing plus the nfc issue (since LOS 19.1 not solved) are the reasons why I preafer to stay on LOS 18.1 that is working well.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Redalike:
This, guys. All the rest is negligible if you can't pay with it. Speak about your experience. I can add cards in googe Wallet but then they don't work at the terminals. I tried with nfc tags 213 stickers and they can be read/written by the phone normally. By doing it, I noted that the nfc chip is in the lower part of the phone, close to the speaker and the charging port. Isn't that weird? Shouldn't be in the removable battery close to the connectors?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] gaindelioide:
Thanks a lot, calvin4242, for the hint given above. I will try what you suggested and see if it will solve the problem I am facing. I love the Samsung S5 KLTE and I wish to use it for my phone calls as well.

If you own another S5, I recommend using it with LOS 20. Android 13 is really FUN.

hi. remove sim pin and try again
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] gaindelioide:
Hi, Sir Khalvat

Firstly, thank you very much for reacting to my request for help. You suggest removing the SIM PIN, but that is exactly what is no more possible on a running system. That option is not available when I put my SIM Card in the phone. With another SIM Card, the option reappears, offering to toggle to SIM PIN usage.

Is there any ADB command for removing the SIM PIN?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
The idea was to insert the sim card in another phone. There you can remove the pin.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] calvin4242:
if you cannot put sim in another phone you have to go back to rom stock, remove sim pin and reinstall LOS 20. Is that clear?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] gaindelioide:
Thank you, kurtn. I will try that.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] gaindelioide:
Yes, Sir. That's clear. Thanks a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] gaindelioide:
Once again, thanks a lot, kurtn for your help. I used an iPhone to remove the SIM PIN and now the system recognizes again the SIM Card.

Hi, so which version of Los 18.1 do you have installed? Current one, updated? NFC is working on 19 too but not Google Pay. On other custom ROMs on different phones Google Pay is working as long as they are not rooted. Can you confirm specifically that Google pay is working on g900f on Los 18? Tyvm
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] calvin4242:
I run latest firmware LOS 18.1-20221227-NIGHTLY-klte

My bank actually doesn't manage & work with Google pay so it is why I couldn't try for Google pay.

I need to use another apk from the Google Play Store specialy built for my bank and no other.

On the phone I use Magisk to hide to my bank apk and my banking mobile payment application the ROOT.

And NFC is working on and I can make contactless payments.

BUT in LOS 19 or 20, NFC seems to work but contactless payments does not do anything when i put mobile phone next to payment terminal..

You said "Google Pay is working as long as they are not rooted": So if rooted what about to hide root to Google Pay with Magisk?

I had been able to recover my phone from being stucked @ boot screen.

(see the edit @ my previous post for further details)

While downloading the latest img from SourceForge.net at rather slow speed ("ETA" 3+hrs :(), I was able to download and install the November img as well.

Thank you also to @kurtn for the upload@murena.io !

Cheers!

Edit:

Download issues from SourceFroge.net solved.

However, having same issue with a clean install as experienced here by @fakezorlend:

The phone keeps on factory resetting and then booting into recovery mode.

Clean ADB install was successful after having the latest stock ROM incl. the PIT file flashed via Odin first.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Huckleberry88:
Hi @bash39:

Not sure if I understand you correctly.

Please have a look at the OP. There you find the link for the different S5 variants.

As it looks like it is your first post, you may want to have a look at the lineageOS website as well. There are all the details about how to prepare and flash to your S5.

Good luck!
