[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] JackieFoxDude:
If I have a Samsung A53 that's locked by Google's FRP and I can't access Developer Mode or USB Debugging, is there still a way to unlock it without those options? Can Odin be used to flash the device even in this locked state? From what I understand, unlocking the bootloader on Samsung devices typically involves enabling Developer Options, turning on OEM Unlocking, and then booting into download mode to unlock the bootloader. But if I'm correct, not all Samsung devices, especially those in the US with Qualcomm chipsets, can have their bootloaders unlocked. What can I do in this situation?
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mytja:
Go ahead. I think adb reboot download should work as well.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] mytja:
Odin can probably be used to flash Samsung's own signed images. However, that probably won't help you with FRP.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] V0latyle:
FRP is Factory Reset Protection. It has nothing to do with developer options. It means that a factory reset was attempted through recovery mode, and the PIN/password to the Google/Samsung account on the device must be entered to unlock it. If FRP is active you won't be able to use the device at all, much less access developer mode, until it is unlocked.

You are correct, many Snapdragon devices in the US market cannot be unlocked. There's nothing you can do about it short of getting a different device, preferably with an Exynos chipset.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] Deleted member 2092952:
OEM unlock has nothing to do with the CPU that is used. Exynos doesn't change it. One would have to get a device model variation that supports it such as the Samsung international model variation.
[Samsung Galaxy A53 5G] romstockprivate:
Is there a particular reason why the bootloader is always locked with Snapdragon CPUs? Is a hardware requirement or some stupid US requirement?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] drjoe1:
I'm changing employers and can upgrade from my S10+ for free to an S20 or pay $200 for S21 or S22. I'm tempted for the S20 because of the microSd card slot and price. Does anyone think the newer phones without the SD card slot are worth $200 more?

Thanks,

Joe
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] blackhawk:
S20, the expandable storage is worth it. Far too many "a lost access to my data, crashed need to recover data, etc" threads here🤣

Too bad they didn't offer you a N10+. Of the whole lot the beast is the one that you wanted.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] drjoe1:
They just told me it is an S20 FE, does that change anything?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 / S20+ / S20 Ultra Questions & ] blackhawk:
It has expandable storage. Try to get a 8gb of ram variant though.

[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] sentinelaeon:
Hello, i own A3 2017 because that is the size phone i can handle. I have some questions i hope you can help me with.

1) i have data turned off most of the time. When i turn it on, suddenly i feel lag - phone is doing plenty of stuff in the background, most notably checking for google store updates. How can i turn off this thing ?

2) What else can i do ? The phone clearly has plenty of horse power because sometimes it works extremely fast. I click on messages or calls and it opens instantly, i open gallery, camera, same thing. But other times it will take seconds. Clearly something in the background is harming my experience. I disabled all the apps i could, prevented them notifies, removed their permissions, disabled all settings i could, applied other general tweaks i could find online. I cant root my phone since my main bank app that i need requires a stock rom.

3) Anything at all i can do to slightly improve camera ? I have it on default settings and dont know what any settings do nor can i find any guide which settings are best to use to get at least decent pictures.
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Hanululu:
there are some ways to help a bank app to work on the lineageOS 17 unofficial ROM. Check out debie's telegram group. And when you switched to LineageOS your phone will also be a lot faster, save you several Gigs of space. Also there is gcam that takes great night vision pictures
[Samsung Galaxy A3, A5, A7 (2017) Questions & Answe] Rudransh Shah:
I am also using A7 2017 in 2023. I haven't rooted it either as I love using Samsung Pay. The best way to keep this device running quick is using the least storage possible. Mine is a 32GB variant, and at around 27GB it lags. As I clear more storage, its performance improves. If you will do the factory data reset then it will work really good for few months, so you can try that too.

About the camera, try lowering the exposure a bit and it gives some really aesthetic photos! You can also try food filter in the camera app as it really pops the colors and gives better results.

[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] danergo:
My watch always locks itself when I'm not wearing it (I have SPay).

Can I do something against this?

i.e.: disable locking when phone is connected over BT? Or in general, disable locking and only ask Pin when SPay is opening?

Anyone?
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] dalepl:
I have a Watch 4 and am using SPay on the watch. It requires a pin to be set on the watch, but as long as I am wearing my watch, once I unlock it, it stays unlock. The security section on the watch settings even says this. Not sure if you are having an issue or if the Watch 5 is different. If the watch is too loose, it will not detect that you are wearing it and will lock.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] danergo:
Same for me: what I wish to avoid is to enter the code every time when I drop this watch onto charger (for example).

No issues during I wear it, but as soon as I remove from my wrist, it keeps locking itself. It's pretty understandable function, but still I wish to disable. When I'm home and the watch is on charger, there is no point of locking itself.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] dalepl:
Only way is to disable SPay. Then you can remove the PIN. This is done to keep SPay secure if someone else were to pick up your watch.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] danergo:
Yes but what is the purpose of let's say: I remove it from my watch and immediately locks itself. Robbery? :D
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] sishgupta:
It's an intentional limitation of Android's security store. The credit card details are saved encrypted on a secure piece of hardware and a password is an inherent limitation of activating the secured storage.
[Samsung Galaxy Watch 5] danergo:
Yes, but what's the purpose of disabling the whole UI after removal? Example: I can't activate water lock after removal.

This system compared to Tizen feels way worse in many aspects.

[General Topics] GalaxyA325G:
How hard can it be to find a simple text editor that edits any plain ASCII (*.txt) text file stored anywhere you want it to be stored on your internal or external sdcard?

On every platform (except Android?), you can create a plain ASCII text file & store that txt file anywhere you have write permission.

And then you can edit that ASCII plaintext file using any text editor (e.g., gVim or Notepad on Windows or vi on Linux).

You can even link a shortcut to that text file on your desktop in a folder of other text files.

Is that too much to ask for Android to have the same functionality?

You store a bunch of plain text files anywhere you have write permission.

When you want to edit them, you tap on a shortcut in a folder of shortcuts.

That brings up whatever editor you have that shortcut set to use.

Lest you think otherwise, I have tried text editors but there are too many to test, but to date, ALL of them store the text file ONLY in their own proprietary location and they store them in their own proprietary format.

I don't want a proprietary location or proprietary text format.

I just want what every other platform has the ability to do.

I want to take ANY text file and edit it with ANY text editor and save it ANYWHERE I have write permission.

Is editing any plain text file too much to ask for in something as simple conceptually as a basic Android text file editor?

--

(Yes, I'm aware Windows & Linux store carriage returns & line feeds differently.)
[General Topics] retiredtab:
The first one I tried called simple text editor can save a txt file wherever I have write permissions to (I don't have external sd card to test).

It's small (1MB), open source.

https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.maxistar.textpad/

Since it's my first time using it, I can't vouch for it's reliability, speed, etc. But if you just want to edit small plain txt files, it seems to work okay.
[General Topics] retiredtab:
I only use the built in LineageOS "files" app and it has no problems prompting the Simple Text Editor each and every time.

It doesn't happen on my device. I can bring up text files, make a change and click save and it says "file written" each and every time.
[General Topics] rdance:
I am also looking for a simple text editor that can work with my A23. I was using J7 Prime and any text simple editor works ok with it. But with A23, I don't find any simple text editor yet that works fine.

After many attempts, I realize there is a permission called "All files access". But none of the simple text editor I have tried, including Simple Text Editor, are listed under that permission.

Can I simple conclude those text editors are only for old Android version? Is there any text editor that can be supported by Android 13 or higher?
[General Topics] donjoe0:
There's a simple text editor included in the Total Commander file manager, which can edit existing files and can create new ones... by first copying an existing one, at least.

Great rom, been using it for a day now and running smooth. of course there are things from source like notification light options which don't mean anything to us 😄

Also one suggestion, there are rwtinga in the battery options such as designed and current battery capacity which are just listed as "unavailable". Is this something you would look to fix in your next build? Oh and also even though it's unofficial, why not out your name in the maintainer field in the about phone sections 😄

The only problem I encountered while using it was the fluctuations in the charging speed. Fast charging is enabled, however charging starts at 12W and drops to ~4W. While I was charging it from ~75% it has stopped at 88% and don't want to go no way further. Everything worked fine on the original system. Apart from that, the system is very nice to use. :)

Device: S10, installed instead of HVJ

@FreeRunner2017 thanks once again for your amazing work. I ran 4.3 for a few hours and found that music ticker on ambient display doesn't work, even if the option is enabled. Can anyone confirm if this is the case? If so is this a source issue?
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] FreeRunner2017:
probably most likely a source issue glad you like it so far!

I thought as much 😊

Also it appears that SD card works fine however when plugged into PC isn't recognised. Wasn't like this in your build of 4.2......not sure if it's just me but I wanted to flag
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] FreeRunner2017:
Did u allow it on your phone when u plug it in, you need to change it from charging to file transfer.
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] Colonov:
Yes, usb file transfer. Pc reads internal storage just fine but can't find sd card. Also tried an older version of Solid Explorer can't find sd card normally either which hasn't happened on any other a13 rom thus far. Might be an issue with sd card permissions within rom, unless I'm missing something?
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] FreeRunner2017:
Strange, can u get a log?
[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] Colonov:
Ah unfortunately I have already switched to another rom. Pity though as I am a big fan of cherish but source has been famous for having bugs that are never fixed.

I'll list a few bugs that I found whilst testing during the 2 hours or so that I tested (some look like source bugs, others maybe build specific bugs)

1. UDFS options force close

2. When setting custom avatar/display picture for multiple users, unable to bring up picture reel (therefore you can't actually set a display picture from file)

3. That issue whereby only internal storage is recognised when plugged into a PC, even though SD card works fine otherwise (might be a permissions issue, see my experience with an older version of solid Explorer above)

4. Music ticker not working (likely source issue)

If I remember more I will look to post. Otherwise feel free to pm me or telegram me on @Colonov if you need a tester 😊

[Samsung Galaxy S10/S10+/S10 5G/E Cross Device Deve] Lupus3141:
Hey guys,

I wanted to try out a custom rom, so I unlocked the bootloader of my phone and installed orange fox recovery successfully. Since I somehow uninstalled MIUI in the process of installing orange fox, I downloaded a .zip file containing a custom rom for my device (of course it was Cherish OS). Since I wiped the whole internal storage of my phone, I used the "adb push" command to get the according file onto my Xiaomi Mi 11 Lite 5G NE. After installing the .zip file using orange fox, I pressed "reboot". However, my phone just shut down and did not reboot as it was supposed to do. I tried holding down the power button for at least 10 seconds to get it to boot, however the screen remained completely black. Even pressing volume down and power button did not help, the same with power up and power button. Whatever I tried, the screen remained black (no bootlogo etc).

I then charged up my phone, but that did not solve the issue either (before installation it had 47%, so I doubt that the battery died during installation as its a brand new phone).

One thing to notice is that my Windows PC makes a sound when I plug my phone into my Computer, as if I has plugged in a harddrive or something. But I can't get it to show up in the file explorer or with "fastboot devices". So clearly something happens when I turn on my phone, but the screen remains off.

I really hope you can help me to bring my (brandnew) phone back to life!

Thanks in advance.

P.S.: I used an ampmeter to check the charging current, its only around 60mA even though I used the official 33W charging brick.
