[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers] macexplorer:
Hi

Posting after a long time. apologies if this is the wrong section/subgroup. Need your expert help/suggestions.

I have a Note 20 5g on Stock (SM-N981B Exynos)

This suddenly froze during normal operation.

On reboot, went into a boot loop (only see the startup logo; this then loops after a very long time)

It is difficult to shutdown just keeps looping till power drain.

i can only boot it into download mode; mostly after power drain and pc connect.

Cant go into Recovery mode at all.

I have tried Smart switch: doesnt work.

Odin flash with recent firmware fails too. (nand erase option fails too)

I would really like to recover data, but chances seem remote. This is not under warranty;

Can someone please suggest: Is there anything else i can try or is this a hardware fault?

[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ioanmihael:
Hi, I need help with the Android Beta program.

Specifically, I was in Beta 2 with a Pixel 6 Pro, and because I have to sell it, I decided to opt out of the program to ship it with the final version. I took the exit steps, now it appears to me that I am no longer in Beta but I am not receiving the rigorous updates (24 hours have already passed). I mention that at the moment the phone no longer has a Google account, I brought it to the factory settings and it has a Wi-Fi connection. Any pertinent suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
If you have OEM unlocking enabled in Developer Options, you can use Android Flash Tool to flash the latest build and relock the bootloader afterwards.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ioanmihael:
Are you referring to that?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ioanmihael:
I've never done anything like this. Is it a complicated/risky procedure?
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
No it's not complicated if you just follow the directions. There's always a risk when flashing but this is very low risk. If you do choose to use it, I would select the "Wipe Device" and "Lock Bootloader" options since you're selling it.

If you feel uncomfortable though, maybe just sell it with the version that is on there now. The buyer can always update it.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ioanmihael:
I promised that I would deliver it with the final version of Android. Plus the beta versions are full of bugs and I wouldn't want them to believe that the phone is in trouble and that I've fooled it. I'm going to wait until tomorrow for the update and then I'm going to make a decision. Thank you so much for your help.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ioanmihael:
Shouldn't I get the update, as it says in the photo? I came out of beta on Friday afternoon but still haven't gotten anything. I need to be logged in with a Google account or it just goes with Wi-Fi connection. 🤔
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] Lughnasadh:
You may have to be logged into a Google account. You'll have to factory reset/wipe data anyway since you were on the QPR1 Beta 2 build (earliest you can go back to stable without wiping is when the QPR1 stable build is released in December), so your Google account should be deleted after that anyway.
[Google Pixel 6 Pro] ioanmihael:
Solved: I am enrol in Beta program again, opt-out again immediately and I received instant update to Android 13 Stable edition.
[Xiaomi Mi A2 / 6X Questions & Answers] doc_relax:
Hi,

on my A2, sometimes certain apps have the problem of not being able to establish data traffic, regardless of connection type (LTE/Wifi). When I reboot the phone, the problem is gone. Then, instead another app runs into the problem.

Most affected apps are WhatsApp and Google Maps.

This has been the case since LOS 17. Recently I updated the phone to LOS 18.1 (totally installed from scratch, following the manual) but the problem consists.

Anyone an idea?

[CAMERA] No more forced max screen brightness ,Is there any way to do it ?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] s1helly:
People are having lots of launch issues with the 7 series, but I just wanted to say that (so far) my P7P has been really good! I like the brightness of the screen, the fingerprint works better for me, everything is snappy, not too hot at all https://nox.tips/ https://xender.vip/.

I hope other people are having a good experience, and if you aren't I'm sorry it's gone that way, I just want nervous people who are stalking the subreddit and seeing all these issues to know that it's not all bad! Having issues sucks, and quirks that you don't like also sucks but remember that you can RMA it and you can get used to things, but also to keep an eye out for any issues people are posting about.

I'm not complaining about these posts btw, keep them coming and I just wanted to give my intial feedback of the phone too, it's been great and I hope it stays that way. Happy Pixeling my Googles
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] chetly968:
I'm gonna say not nearly good for me so far but that's always been the case with me and nexus/pixel phones. I've always had lag issues, quality control issues and scrolling issues (particularly while we browsing). I've had all that with the current phone plus lost the ability to receive texts for 4 days. Everything seems to have resolved itself today for some reason but it'd par for the course for me. I used to think all android phones were buggy like this until I moved over to Samsung after the pixel 3 and it's been a great and smooth experience. I finally came back here hoping things would be better. I do miss the superior multitasking and overall brute force of the Samsungs but I do like the little things that the pixel gets right.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] MoneyNotEnough:
Seems like Samsung's your brand bruh. Stick with what works for you tbh.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] morphius88:
Power button placement really annoys me. Why would anyone put a power button above the volume rocker? I keep hitting the volume up button thinking its power.

Screen has been pretty nice. The curve is not too bad this time around. I have been avoiding all "waterfall" screens since the OP7P because of the glare and other annoyances that come with such screen but this one on the P7P is ok.

Picture quality is great, probably on par with the iphones and S22s. Video is ok. Antennas are ok, havent had issued so far. Phone can get pretty hot randomly though. Was uploading a couple videos to the cloud and it was taking forever, drained a decent amount of battery and was super hot. Killed the photos app and everything went back to normal. Also got pretty hot doing a couple other things but hopefully nothing serious.

Also, I dunno if its just my luck or maybe thats just the default behavior since Android 12 but I have been getting lots of app reflesh/reloads when switching between apps. So if I am browsing in the reddit app for example, switch to my browser to do a couple things online, maybe open a notes app and note something down, go back to reddit and it refreshes back from the top instead of where I left off. Switch back to the browser and the website would reload instead of resuming where I left off. 12gb of ram on this phone and even had 18gb on my Asus ROG phone but keeps happening. If someone knows how to resolve this, I would be super happy.

Will try playing CODM and see how that goes, havent found a phone that doesnt throttle too much. Everything with an SD 888 and newer has been throttling (yes I know this is not an SD chip).

Sorry for my long reply but wanted to share my experience. Overall, I still like this phone and will probably stay with it for the foreseeable future.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] chetly968:
Ah yes, the power button in relation to the volume button is a little annoyance to but I figure you can get used to it eventually. Harder to take screenshots that way I've noticed. One definite positive to this phone compared to my last couple Samsung phones is the batter life. Seems to be much better in that regard for sure. Gaming is definitely better on other phones compared to this one for the more demanding titles. But unless you're into competitive gaming you won't notice much difference.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] morphius88:
Yeah for sure. Not doing any competitive gaming but will for sure be a downgrade when compared to Asus RoG Phone 5S Pro. Just not sure how much of a downgrade. Battery possibly also since that phone had 6k mAh. But obviously 2 very different price points. I am surprised you are getting better battery on this phone than the Samsungs (I guess depends which models you used). However I avoid all Samsungs due to no rooting ability so I cant compare personally (but my wife has been using them without issue).

Button I will probably get used to... or at least use double tap more often.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] chetly968:
I was most recently using the z fold 4 be t before that the s22 ultra. Definitely good battery life but this pixel is about 10-15% better for me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] manners400:
This Pixel 7 pro has been nothing shy of awesome for me! First year of no Google shipment delays, out the box the phone set up mirroring my old phone upon just signing in to my account. Screen is great, speed & fluidness is great, love the biometrics, no problems with battery life, etc.

Overall Pixel 7 pro is definitely the best Pixel to date for me. The camera bar actually looks much better in a case but that's just my perception. I also don't have issues with the power button as I've been using pixels for a while, which is funny because I thought it was perfect that they lowered the buttons a little this year which felt like perfect placement to me.

I've always had love for Samsung phones but they just don't do a good job to me at cohesively supplying a consistent product for "everyone".
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] danw_oz:
Yeah I agree with you, I think one of the most smooth launches.

This phone is a huge step up to the Pixel 6 Pro, even though the spec sheets don't really show it.

As others have mentioned here the Power button and volume buttons are in a strange place, I keep hitting the power button thinking I am going for the volume up. The location of these makes even less sense if you are using a car holder/cradle because most of these cover these buttons or even rock them while supported.

Camera is great for the little I have used it so far, am very impressed with the quality even with a decent amount of digital zoom

Bluetooth connectivity and reliability is my better than Pixel 6 Pro.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I'm not. I'm getting considerably better battery life on this phone than I did on my S21 Ultra which was the phone I got the best battery life with from all the Samsung devices I owned, and the S21 Ultra in turn had a better battery life than the S22 Ultra if reports are to be believed. Although I can't confirm it personally as I've never owned the S22 Ultra.

Also, I'm sure you know but Samsung phones can be rooted, but it can't be done in a way which is non-traceable if a warranty repair is subsequently required. I speak from experience when I say it will be refused even if you unroot and relock the bootloader thanks to the Knox e-fuse.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
S22 Ultra had similar battery life, but not better than Pixel 7 Pro at least with my own usage. I had S22 Ultra 30 days for testing only.

Also, Knox and their e-fuse is an issue outside of EU. In EU, tripping Knox or unlocking the bootloader doesn't affect the warranty.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] buschris:
I dunno, I miss the power button above. My P7P shipped a week early, so I'll have it by early next week! can't wait to see how it stacks up against my S22Ultra and OnePlus 7 Pro
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] morphius88:
I was under the impression that only Exynos version of Samsungs could be rooted and that it would trip Knox. I havent seen anything concrete about rooting a SnapDragon Samsung (at least not the last 4-5 years anyway).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
A common misconception. It does. I've had a repair refused. Sure, I could perhaps take it further. Assuming I wanted to spend thousands on a court case.

To my knowledge Snapdragon Samsung phones can be rooted, providing you get one from a territory that doesn't have a locked down bootloader. The issue is that most Snapdragon Samsung phones in America are from providers like Verizon who lock down the bootloader, it's this that prevents root, not the SOC manufacturer.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
Again, it doesn't in Europe Union, it's not a misconception. You're free to read the EU ruling on consumer protection. If the shop/store refused to do it, they're just scamming (or have no clue about this), but it's against the law.

You don't need to privately file a lawsuit in order for them to follow the LAW. There are government institutions that deal with this stuff, you just have to knock on a proper door (assuming that you live in Europe Union, because if not, that's a different issue).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Ehhhh... Samsung locks them down when ordered directly from them as well. There have been exploits but most of the newer phones, there is a dude who charges people to unlock them.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I can only assume you haven't dealt with a big corporation like Samsung. Knocking on a "proper door" won't make a difference, the amount of red tape you would need to go through renders it not worth the bother unless you have a determination on principle. And even then it won't be easy or quick. Then they'd likely still refuse and deal with the consequences.

Big business don't care about consumer rights, law or no law.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Batfink33:
I've rooted my Exynos s22u bought directly from Samsung, no problems (apart from Knox) Are we talking about SD here?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
I could be wrong, but I believe what @ekin_strops meant about "Knock[ing] on a 'proper door'" is to go after the "small shop/store", not the whole Samsung corporation on the matter of repairing a knox tripped device in the EU.....

I can imagine the "red tape" and litigation to try and make that happen, honestly would probably lead to Samsung not even implementing knox to trip when unlocking the bootloader to begin with, but they have their reasonings (mostly to market their security capabilities as well as appease carriers) to do this and I doubt they'd let it go easily.....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] JohnTheFarm3r:
That's why also big corporations like Apple need to switch to Type-C (in EU) because no one cares about the law, right? lol

I literally never got refused a repair from Samsung (In Germany) even though I OPENLY and CLEARLY mentioned that the Knox is tripped due to running custom binaries, literally sent the device in while it was rooted.

I'm not sure about your experiences, but in Germany, the law works pretty well, and regardless of how big a "company" is, if the law is on your side, there is no one scamming you out of your RIGHT to repair under warranty as it's stated in the LAW and the RIGHT for the WARRANTY under any of the mentioned circumstances.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
I'm referring to Samsung because that's who I bought the phone in question from, going to a shop unfortunately wasn't an option as the warranty was with Samsung themselves and they refused it. And in all likelihood, a smaller shop wouldn't know what to look for and would have simply repaired it.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Yes of course we are talking about Snapdragon and that would have been clear if you read what I was responding to.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Batfink33:
It's not entirely clear ,no need to be snarky,let's be civil.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
It should be 100% clear as the quote spoke of Snapdragon as well. Everyone knows Exynos devices don't have this issue, it's why a lot of people in the dev community import the inferior Exynos models in the states (or why most of us switched away from Samsung to begin with).
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] CarpeCarnim:
I have been keeping my expectations in check waiting for a week with the phone before I formed an opinion on its sustainability as my daily driver.

I am a pretty casual user, mostly just browsing, texting and the occasional YouTube video to entice my son to stand still long enough to brush his teeth.

The screen is very nice, even at 1080+smooth display and I am making it through an entire day and evening, so it meets my requirements. The signal is strong --although I live in an area where TMobile has 5G-UC coverage-- and I haven't noticed too much heat from the handset.

Over all it's been a pretty good upgrade from my OP 9, with a few minor annoyances. The one thing that has driven me nuts has been the tendency for the phone to recognize normal initial touches --like when I begin to scroll-- as long-touches. I spend an inordinate amount of time fighting context menus and text highlighting, but I suspect that can get patched out by Google.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
Interesting. Was wondering if this was an issue only I had. It does indeed drive me bonkers.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
+1 over here too! I thought it was only me...but I only seem to experience it when going through my Google feed; although I don't really go through other text on screen operations other than the feed (i.e. Tiktok, Instagram, Youtube, music, games, texts, etc.). Also, I don't believe I had this bug before updating the Google Play system update that happened in the past 2 days....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] EtherealRemnant:
I have it on XDA a lot. It actually seems to mostly be Chrome that's affected the worst for me.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] blastroid:
I'm liking my P7P much more than my P6. I wanted the telephoto lens, curved screen isn't so bad, feels almost same size as P6 and curved screen might be helping it feel good, not getting as hot, battery is fine for my not too heavy usage, the screen brightness in the sun is noticeably better, trade in value was great. I'm doing face unlock most of the time and I like the seamlessness of it, fingerprint reader still not great for me, cell strength is better in my flat with not so strong AT&T service. Very glad I upgraded.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
It's definitely an upgrade from the P6P. The fingerprint sensor works great on one finger, but terrible on my thumb with 2 images set. Face unlock is useless in a semi-dark room.

I had the Camera 8.3 on the P6P, which was better than the stock Camera, but I can't find it now, not that I'm a big Photo person, anyway

Screen is great. Battery is better than the P6P by far. Speaker is louder. I have Pixel Buds coming and the Hazel case off the Google store to replace the Spigen I have now.

I unlocked the Bootloader but since I haven't rooted in about forever, this looks daunting. I never did truly get the Slot A/Slot B thing from glancing at the P6P Rooting threads. It used to be so easy....

Anyway, this is just a small step I took to keep equity towards potentially the P8P when it comes out.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Beefheart:
Also needs to be said that, £850 for this handset is great value in comparison to others from the likes of Samsung and Apple. But, assuming you ordered the phone within the qualifying time frame, getting a £350 smartwatch for free as well just adds the cherry on the cake.

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Tanquen:
I've not seen this with any of my Google phones but today the alarm went off and then the phone locked up while still playing the alarm sound. The screen was stuck at like 2am but it was like 6am at the time. Power and volume up buttons did not work to get to restart. I had to Google the fix and that was to hold down the power button for 30 seconds.

Video of it stuck.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] rczrider:
This happened to my wife's Pixel 7 the first morning she had an alarm set with it.

Did you by any chance snooze it half a dozen times? It was only after she refused to get up that it locked. I think maybe it's a feature, not a bug.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] roirraW "edor" ehT:
That sounds familiar as if it might've happened once on my OG Pixel years ago, but I can't say for sure.

LOL! Good point.
