How to turn off this switch? After decrypting the device, you can go to TWRP and swipe into magisk to get root permission. Who can tell me how? Thank you very much!

Ive got some .avi files and stuff that i'd like to put on my phone.

Unfortunalty the X1 does support them so I was wondering if there were any codes to make them run.

I know the Viewty had a Divx codec so was just wondering if the X1 had anything similar
[XPERIA X1 General] kareeem:
Try TCPMP/Core which include a wide variety of codecs within the player.

Hello Guys!

i've tryed TCPMP and also the Core Player but on both AVI-Files was very slowly. The Sound was Ok, but at the Video Source many frames are dropped. What's wrong?

P.S.: The James Bond Trailer in MP4-File is very beautiful.

Anyone having issues with audio not routing to Bluetooth earbuds? Only fix for me so far is to reboot the phone. But the issues comes back later or the next day.

It's strange too, I'll have issue with the galaxy buds pro not working for audio or phone calls but I switch to the Sony XM4 and it works for audio but not for calls. Reboot and both works again. I've tried unpairing and resetting Bluetooth and also the earbuds but nothing works except reboot of phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] blackhawk:
Network reset and try clearing the system cache.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Sonin66:
Try swiping down once then hit media output and selecting the Bluetooth device there
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Robson:
not sure if these will help as well but these were the solutions i have done when i had bt issues. these are not in order by the way, but alternative solutions

1) clear the bt cache. unpair then pair again

2) i installed bluetooth audio widget

3) i once bought a jam loud buds from jb hi fi. it would drop out or it wouldn't connect at all to my fold. turns out it was still paired to my old samsung note 9. had to delete that pairing and it finally worked with the fold. didn't know some devices only paired with a phone once

4) bt version. i had an old bt remote used by my daughter. it paired with the fold but did not work. did some reading and the bt version of the remote could be the cause

5) above posts from blackhawk and sonin66
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] blackhawk:
Buds+ software and firmware* have given me a lot of trouble. A real pain. I'm running two N10+ N975U/N975U1's one on Pie the latter on 10.

These are the apps I load but they may not work on 11 or higher, don't know... In any case uninstalling then reinstalling may fix your issue if the network reset fails too. Firewall block "Apps (UID)10343" and Wearables Installation Manager. Keep them blocked or they will update... and you'll be repeating the process.

For all these apps they must have all their permissions enabled to open!!!

*if you have a pair of Buds+ do not upgrade their firmware! It trashed the sound in my one pair. Now they need reflashed...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] aarick:
done this, and the correct device was selected but no audio. Sometimes music audio works fine but not calls
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 4] Denver3D:
Idk if this happens for you guys but I went to a sony showroom today and when I paired my mobiles with some soundbar units like sony HT-S40R, HT-G700 and HT-S500F and some other models soundbar all of them got this weird issue, we can hear the music but every 2 or 3 sec it feels like it stops and then resume ( on the music player app it's working normally) I though maybe because of my spotify app I tried Youtube, youtube music amd amp all of them gives the same weird results ... This was before rooting my phone ... Ofc after rooting it it's stil the same issue (Android 12 and 13) hopefully this happened with those specefics models and not with my earphones or headphones bluetooth

Also note my S21 ultra works perfectly with the models said above
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] termdj:
I have the ultra that had a similar issue, but not as bad as your describing. There were 2 keyboard updates since I got the tablet and it improved my issue to the point that once in a blue moon I would get the keyboard not working issue, than I would restart the tablet and it would work for a while without issues. There is a specific way to trigger the keyboard to update, check on youtube/search google, can't remember how to trigger it the 1st time as there is a specific way, after that it would automatically update or show there is an update. Hope it helps you with your issue
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] knosso:
Thank you very much for your reply. Unfortunately there is no firmware update available for the tab S7/S8 book keyboard. I've now contacted samsung that told me to create an error report. I'll write here the reply to help the community if and how i manage to fix the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] knosso:
Jonearthur thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I did all of the "standard" stuff many times with no results.

Since my last message the tablet got a major Android Update to android 13. And while travelling the keyboard received an update as well. Needless to say that I still have the same problem as before.

Samsung replied to my request in the least useful way possible to tell me that the team is working on a fix. I onestly just think that the Tab S8 connection to the keyboard has an electrically flawed design.

Since for me this is also the first device with a "floppy detatchable keyboard" I'm also wondering wether I should trust at all the concept of a keyboard that attaches to the device in this way.
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S8] knosso:
Hello I wanted to give an update on this topic. Since more than one month passed from my report to Samsung I decided to contact them again.

The support was awful, I received no help watsoever except from "sorry we didn't care about your error report, write it again and maybe we will read it and reply". So I did the report again. Still waiting a reply on that one after more than a week so.... I'm not holding my breath.

During the unhappy chat I told them that I was tired of not having help and that I wanted to be refunded. Guess what.... since the problem concerns the keyboard they can refund the keyboard but cannot refund the tablet. Then this person further specified that the tablet can be sent for repairs but never refunded. Just to make a comparison suppose that you bought a car. Now suppose that for whatever reason the weels keep detatching from the car. Suppose that you are not ok with it and ask for a refund. Suppose that the support of the company tells you "sorry bro you can give us the weels and we will refund the cost for them but the car is fine so you have to keep it". This is the level of absurdity that Samsung reached.

Even taking into consideration the possible keyboard refund I still did not find an alternative cover that includes a keyboard and that has a way to keep the pen charged without loosing it in a backpack. Even the other keyboard from Samsung does not support that. You can keep the pen but don't you dare to charge it.

Today after a bit of hesitation I installed yet another update for the tablet. That made no diffrence for the keyboard behaviour. After that I made yet another desperate factory reset. Surprisingly this time it looks like for whatever reason the keyboard seems to be working.

I'll keep an eye on it just in case it decides to misbehave again. The description of the update does not contain any clue to as to why doing a factory reset before did not fix the keyboard but it does now.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] mithritades:
does anybody know of any junk files i can delete to free up some memory on my sprint diamond?
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] RizwanKhan:
well you could always do a hard reset and clean everything lol :) just kidding.

You could delete your ie cache and uninstall programs that you don't use. In terms of files you could remove bloatware by not letting customization run (doing soft reset before 3 sec countdown) and this way you won't get any junk that the carrier wants to put on device (demo games, nav software etc etc.).

what bloatware exactly?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] The Weeping Angel:
Hello fellow Xda members, I'm considering upgrading from my galaxy Note 4 to the Note 20 ultra. I'm resigned to losing the headphone jack and infrared sensor but what I can't live without are three features: call recording (I'm currently using ACR recorder and it's perfect for recording) Root capabilities and the fact that I can install an app (Videocallid) that personalises my contact ringtones with ANY kind of video's (music videos as ringtones are wild :-). Will I be able to reatin any or all of these features with the Note 20 ultra?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
A year ago I was looking at the N10+ and the N20U. Got a second N10+. Samsung started going sideways with the N20U.

Unfortunately the Snapdragon's have the best hardware including heatpipes on the N10+'s. The Snapdragon's are hard or impossible to root. Optimized, stock ones run very well with 12+ hours SOT. I run stock, but still using Android 9 and 10 with no intentions of upgrading.

I can set custom ringtones. Never do call recording. The N10+ is a better balanced Note in my opinion and the zenith point of the Note series. They run like bats out of hell and are very reliable. New ones loaded with 10* can still be had. The Exynos variant is rootable.

*After Android 10 cpu cycle sucking scoped storage is fully active. 11 is so-so and 12 is a mess. I perfer Pie; 10 is slightly less app friendly and has many more Samsung system apps. Pie runs securely without issues; current load on this device is 2.5 years, last update 3 years.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] The Weeping Angel:
Hey Blackhawk, nice to hear from you again :) yeah i was thinking also along those lines as i was confronting the note 10 + and the N20U, taking into consideration that the only phone that is nearly identical to the Note 4 is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro, which has inferior ram & storage and terrible sensor proximty problems. surfing on the internet I've seen two ads for a Note 10 + at 350 euros and the N20U at 430 euros. the N20Uhas 512gb of memory while the Note 10 + has 256gb. the Xiaomi costs around 280 euros brand new.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Hey there😀

You're doing almost exactly what I did a year ago. It gets rather complicated. If I was doing it today I would spurn all the newer Samsung releases and go with another N975U1 🤣 No regrets as the N10+ is a joy to use . In terms of color/gamma accuracy/calibration likely exceeds all variable refresh rate displays. This is no small task if you want the best outcome. I recommend buying new if possible as you know exactly what you got, especially true with the bootloader version.

The 2nd new N10+ I bought is 256gb, the first 500gb. Both have 12gb of ram. I'm using V30 rated Sandisk Extremes in them, 500gb and 1tb respectively. They easily stream HD vids. Not a big deal when you have up to 1tb of expandable fast storage. Only the apps, download and dcim folders go on internal and the SD card serves as a data drive. I then redundantly backup the SD card. Everything I need including copies of apps to do a full reload without internet is on the SD card.

If memory serves me correctly there is a 8gb of ram N20U, avoid it. You want 12gb. A year ago there was a lot of scamming going on with the N20U be wary of this. Buy from trusted vendors only and always use a MC or Visa in case you need to do a charge back. There also a 128gb N20U variant too if I recall correctly, avoid it as it's not enough internal memory.

I would avoid the N10+ 5G variant as it's first generation and likely a power hog. I can stream and download movies fine with 4G. In fact 5G has opened up more bandwidth on the 4G band. 5G is perhaps problematic on the 20U as well. It's SOT is less than the N10+, it's cam hump sucks and the spen is on the left side. Any performance increases are offset somewhat by lower SOT, increased weight and bulk. There's a night and day performance difference with the N9 vs the N10+, the N9 is noticeably slower sometimes by seconds. The N10+ vs the S22U that difference is slight as far as opening apps and most daily usage.

Draw your own conclusions about what best will fullfill your mission. Invariably there will be surprises. I went from a S4+ running on Kitkat to the N10+, it was a steep learning curve at first. Pie is a far more capable and secure OS, however the hardware upgrade was just delicious... except for the missing 3.5mm jack. You'll wuv the new spen with bt remote shutter release capabilities. Smart capture is another spen feature I use a lot.

Pick up a pair of the Buds+ as they sound good especially using Poweramp's Eq. They've been discontinued but you may be able to find a new pair.

Use the Zizo Bolt case to protect your new Note. These are heavy phones that wuv to corner hit and face plant when dropped. My N10+'s are always cased. One reason they're still running.

Note: my N10+'s while being stock are optimized extensively. I use Package Disabler, Karma Firewall and a lot of settings changes. All Samsung's should be optimized...
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] The Weeping Angel:
The reason I started considering the N20U was that on local websites here in Italy there is a 80 euros difference between the N20U & the N10+ which i find ridiculous. I really want to keep using the Note series as I've grown attached to it, but the only phone that comes near to the Note 4 in similiarity is the Redmi Note 11 Pro minus the S-Pen, which saddens me to no end as it goes to show that Samsung really doesn't care or feel for it's own customer base.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] The Weeping Angel:
I always pay through Paypal and they've always come through with their customer support,so no worries about that 😉 i really need the call recording app as i use it to take notes during calls. Having a video ringtone app is a bonus, nothing compares with having your favorite music video as your contacts ringtone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The price difference should tell you something.

Play with both if you can. The design and balance of the N10+ is superb. The only repair I done is a replacement battery. It has over 8k hours on it, it's heavily used. I looks, feels and runs like new. Zero detectable display degradation, perfect.

You want the spen. I didn't use it for months at first, now I use it almost every day. I use screen write, smart capture and magnifier a lot. It's a swiss army knife of Android.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Paypal... don't fed the beast. They made the sorry mistake of becoming a political weapon.

They been quit busy in all the wrong ways. Not consumer friendly. I use to have a Paypal account... never again, but they do get a lifetime of free advertising from me. A stone cold pleasure.

MC and Visa have a good track record when it comes to handling charge backs.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] The Weeping Angel:
The S-pen is something i will definitely use, which is why I'm sticking with the Note Series-for now. But i really need the call recording option; do you know Blackhawk if there is a sure fire way for both the N10+ & N20U? I've checked the guides but I don't see a clear answer. Unfortunatey there is no way for me to try out either device as both devices are not available anymore in store but i'm sure i couldn't be wrong buying either one. I've only had the chance to see the S22 Ultra and the colors are superb. I really would be disappointed if I have to end up buying the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 pro for simplicity.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It goes by region and Samsung's wims apparently. That's a lame deal breaker. Maybe get a cheap dedicated phone just for that.

Xiaomi is problematic in a number of ways including build quality.

Both Google Android and Samsung are circling the bowl, glad I got two N10+'s before the flush cycle started🤣 Android 13 is another wack job.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] The Weeping Angel:
Uninstalling phone bloatware is something i really love to do; can't stand all the rubbish preinstalled on the Note 4; as a pet project one day I hope to make my own personal rom where I can truly customise the Note 4 as I please as i won't abandon the Note 4 totally. It is lagging abit now in perfomance & the memory & ram limitations are starting to impact day to day use.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] The Weeping Angel:
Xiaomi is really a poor man's Note 4, but damn the only thing missing are samsung's vivid colors & the S-pen. Samsung really makes it hard on the consumer. eventually I find either terminal i can downgrade them to the pre-installed android version, yes? 5G isn't necessary but the majority of the used devices I'm checking out do come with that feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
There's no comparison between the N4 and the N10+. Its not just hardware. One UI is a quantum improvement over Touchwiz. Again learning curve ahead. If you go beyond Android 10 though it's going to be a true pain. Pie is still my preferred N10+ platform.

Pre Android 9 versions have glaring security holes that worming rootkits can exploit and worm their way out of the user data partition.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Questions & Answers] The Weeping Angel:
Thank you so much Blackhawk for your input and advice. I took the plunge & bought a Note 20 Ultra for around 605 US dollars with a year left on warranty from ebay. After scouting different websites such as Amazon & Subito.it (something like Craigslist over in the US), I couldn't find a Note 10 Plus in a similiar condition so I told myself what the heck & went with my gut. I can confirm that call recording can be activated and works by Samfw frp tool (thank you Senior Member Chosmile & System Hacks on youtube for the wonderful step by step guides 🙂) for the European model. The battery has only been charged 259 times so I believe it will hold up for a fair bit yet. Thank you again Blackhawk for your really constructive advice and point of view 😉

It's very strange !

Any ideas could help me please ?

Thx !
[General Topics] pflatlyne:
It used to be that they would not chage you the fee if you uses self service online. But now they charge you anyway. So if your paying for it. Get your moneys worth. Call them or go into a store. As a lot of stupid questions. Maybe go back several times before making up your mind. Your forced to pay for it so get your moneys worth. Im going to makecsure i talk to them at leadt an hour, if not two, for each phone I buy.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
How much is your time worth? Of course stone cold pleasures are hard to put a price tag on🤣

I avoid AT&T corporate stores as invariably they will try to over charge you. By phone works best with AT&T once you know what you want to get. Never played with TMobile though.
[General Topics] pflatlyne:
Exactly. You cant put a price tag on knowing that they tried to screw you out of 35 dollars thats pure profit for them, and you made sure that they LOST money on it. At the very least, Im NEVER going to buy off the web site. Im at least going to make them pay a human being to talk to me.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
You could ask for a credit. AT&T reps can at their discretion issue up to a $25 credit to make things right. The CEO gave them that to use.

I stick with AT&T because they value long time customers (gives you leaverage) and I know how they work from many encounters over the decade. Also have a grandfathered unlimited data plan data. Their coverage is only second to Verizon. AT&T is easier to deal with than Verizon. That said I've leaned hard on AT&T a bunch of times and been all over them like a cheap suit. Most times it works. Like I really need more lessons in assertive training... always room for one more🤣
