If you allow firmware updates, or the requirements of the applications you use grow, then the concept of "long time" does not exist.

In my opinion, the ability to make many modifications to a used device is an advantage.

I think the iPhone has a wonderful and intuitive interface, but I have always used android smartphones, mainly because of the price and the number of paid and free applications.

Yes, you are right.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] robbbzilla:
I would wait a few days for the s23 series launch unless you can get a great deal on the s22.

Right now Apple iOS 16 is a bit of a mess. I am on forums of macrumors and the problems with iPhone 14, specifically the Pro max are worse than I have ever seen. I had an iPhone 13 pro max and when I updated to iOS 16 my battery capacity went down almost 30%. I have been using iPhones for a while and never had an issue like that from a software update.

Also the 14 series is esim only. Which is ki d of a bummer.

Generally though the hardware is a bit better on an iPhone and a16 is still the best smartphone processor in the market.

I think it really comes down to the ecosystem. Do you have other Apple products? Do you use iMessage. Once you do it is hard to get out. If you don't have many Apple products then I would say Samsung is better as you can link to your PC and Samsung tablets.

Software updates are much better on Samsung than in the past but iPhone is still a bit better. So if you plan to keep your phone longer than 5 years Apple might be a better choice.

Personally I traded in my iPhone for a Pixel 7 Pro and despite being pretty locked in the Apple ecosystem I like the Pixel better. I also have a Samsung s22 plus and before I got the Pixel and since iOS 16 I was using it more than the iPhone. OneUI 5 has made some nice improvements to animations and stuttering. Overall the phone is very smooth now and battery life is better.

All three phones feel about as fast as each other despite the different chipsets.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Plus] Edward Joseph:
Samsung S22 is good but if you compare it with iPhone 14 then there will be the IOS and user interface difference, you're an iPhone user so you should get used to Samsung IOS which is good, simple, and easy to use. Just use a Samsung phone and then decide on getting a new phone!

Hello, after updating to Android 13, now the wifi icon on the notification bar doesn't display the Wifi 6/5/4 number to know the kind of wifi connection.

Is there a configuration to display the type of connection on the wifi icon?
[Sony Xperia 1 IV] ze7zez:
Alternatively, use

IP Widget - Apps on Google Play

IP Widget shows your connection information (WiFi, Mobile, Ethernet,...)

play.google.com

which is easily configurable and you can have what you want on the screen.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Dr.Aequitas:
Hello everybody.

I have a Galaxy Note 8 phone. Frankly, I'm starting to think that every update is making the phone a bit slower. For this reason, I want to go back as far as I can go and install the oldest firmware I can. But I did some research and found out that if the bootloader is different, I would not be able to install it with odin. How do we understand this? Which version can I go back to?

Also does this trip the Knox counter?

You can only roll back the firmware to a version with the same BIT that is currently on the phone. You will check it in the firmware list for your model.

Flashing the original firmware does not trip the knox flag.

Changing the bootloader and/or rooting trip the knox flag.

[Redmi Note 10S] MrEgg48:
The phone "USB Debugging" not working properly after every reboot. The "USB Debugging" button still "ON" but it only charge the phone when connect to the pc without open a windows with internal storage shown. I have to manually turn the "USB Debugging" OFF and back ON and wait for that 10s warning to make it work again or change the Default USB configuration from "File Transfer" to something else to wake that feature up.

Is that a known bug or hardware related issue ?? Thanks
[Redmi Note 10S] SigmundDroid:
Well, I use linux (and other phones/tablets) but I usually run into one of these problems:

set the USB-mode of the phone correctly, not just charging ("circle with dot" or similar should show in top bar)

the phone must know the fingerprint of the computer (phone should notify you, so accept and store)

reboot phone after applying such changes (really, I wasted hours on this one, only to realize that only and nothing but a reboot would fix that)

Sometimes even all of them together :rolleyes::ROFLMAO: (but perhaps it really is something specific to your phone)
[Redmi Note 10S] MrEgg48:
I will do fastboot flash once the phone bootloader is available for unlock after 168h to see if that fix the problem. Finger cross.

I recently purchased a SM-G965U1. After installing PDP I had issues with the display but that was my fault. So I went to SamMobile to flash the 965u1 firmware. The download contained the normal files with the exception of the userdata. There was a file listed separately but it was a 975U userdata. Upon flashing the firmware the phone had a completely different firmware than the 965U1. Where can I find the correct userdata for the S9+ 965U1?

[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] XDRdaniel:
I have bought an x40 and 5G just doesn't work. I should have 5G reception at home on EE, as it worked on my previous phone, but the x40 doesn't. I also tried other networks from my house mates, THREE, and VODAFONE and I still have no 5G whatsoever. So now I'm trying to see if Motorola is blocking Chinese variants, of if it's an Android 13 issue, because the network is definitely not the problem. On my network (EE) I'm also missing the "preferred network type" option in settings. This setting is present on Vodafone and Three, but I can only select 2g/3g/4g. No 5g

Dialing*#*#4636#*#* and manually switch to 5g doesn't do anything

NR state is also set to NONE

So does anyone who has an x30 pro can confirm that 5g works on their device? And if they have "preferred network type" in settings on EE, , and maybe post a screenshot with *#*#4636#*#*?

Thanks

[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] ijuanp03:
I bought a Motorola X30 Pro (China variant of the Edge 30 Ultra) and has a similar issue but it depends on the carrier I am using (I'm from Southeast Asia).

I stay in Malaysia and using 1 Malaysian SIM and 1 Philippine SIM (Roaming)

Carrier 1: Digi -- no 5G option in preferred network type

Carrier 2: Globe Telecom (using Maxis telecom as roaming) -- 5G option available in preferred network type.

I travelled to Philippines last month and was able to use 5G under "Globe Telecom" whereas Digi couldn't connect to 5G.

With that said, I believe this is a network issue more than the device. Network carriers should provide a SIM card which is 5G ready.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] XDRdaniel:
Thing is, I tried 3/4 UK networks and none connected to 5G. Only 2 of the networks had the option "preferred network type" but not even those would let me choose 5G. So none of them connect to 5G. Also if I pop in my SIM into my old Poco F2 Pro, i get 5G as soon as I power up the phone. So I'm inclined to believe that the network is not the issue
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] ijuanp03:
Hmmm.. this is kinda weird. Check the 5G frequency bands supported by the X40 and what bands are provided by 3/4 UK networks whether they are compatible.

Another option is to call your carrier and ask them to "enable" 5G on your device. Just take a chance as they might have some sort of whitelist.

Just to add, I contacted "Digi" network yesterday why I'm not getting any 5G. They said 5G is only available for postpaid subscribers for now so yeah.
[Motorola Edge 30 Ultra / Motorola Moto X30 Pro] XDRdaniel:
All the bands are supported be the phone, except for O2 UK which is a network I won't ever use View attachment 5824277

I tried calling EE too and they said they don't filter devices. As long as they're 5G capable, they get 5G.

All 5G bands are enabled on this phone but it just seems like 5g is disabled by Motorola somehow. I also just got a software update yesterday and I hoped that would fix it, but still no.

I browsed Motorola forum and this seems like a recurring issue on their phones.

That's great!

What build number of Android OS are you running?

I'd be grateful, if you could check it and post it here.

Have you done anything to get this performance or is it "out of the box"?
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] TomKay:
I'm not so sure.

First, remember that this figure is without any cell phone service drawing current.

Second, I initially saw segments of the battery consumption graph that were horizontal, but no longer do.

Third, look at what Thanos88 reported.

I've seen other posts about unusually high idle consumption of the ROG Phone 6. I believe most users will not even notice because they don't shut down their phones fully and the idle consumption disappears as noise under the all the higher normal consumption. Perhaps other users don't complain, because they don't suffer from the issue I seem to be having. I don't know.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Thanos88:
android 12

.197 firmware

Done plenty of app debloating
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] TomKay:
Thanks!

I note that you are not on the latest version (.241). That could explain the difference. Perhaps I saw the near to zero consumption before I accepted the update to .241? That is quite possible.

I've done a lot of app debloating as well, removing Facebook, etc., but as I mentioned before, there are no apps that cause any noteworthy battery consumption. Did you do anything out of the ordinary? I first just uninstalled and/or disabled some apps/services that I did not need and later even uninstalled some via ADB. The latter made no difference regarding battery consumption.

My 5%/24h figure comes from

41.3% Android System

15.2% Kernel (Android OS)

4.4% Phone Services

3.5% com.android.systemui:screenshot

3.1% Google Play services

2.0% com.google.uid.shared:.....

1.9% GSam Battery Monitor

0.9% ASUS Launcher

There are some more (e.g., 0.4% Gmail) but they don't use much at all.

Time Held Awake (over a 37h period):

Kernel (Android OS) 10m 53s

Android System 4m 1s

Google Play services 16s

com.google.uid.shared:..... 2s

com.android.systemui:screenshot 1s

That's all, no other apps/services are reported to keep the phone awake (while it was idling).

Number of times Waking Device

Google Play services 48

Android System 34

Calendar Storage 8

android.uid.calendar:..... 7

com.android.systemui:screenshot 6

com.google.android.partnersetup 5

There are a few more, but the next one has a figure of 3 and the rest are all lower.

No network data used (no SIM card, Wifi turned off) and no location used either.

I note that further battery consumers were sensors used by

Dirac Control Service 13m 5s

Android System 1m 17s

I do not know whether this is normal.

Is it possible to revert to the .197 firmware (or whatever firmware version my phone originally had) by performing a factory reset?

Or does the latter just clear all user data but leaves the current firmware in place?

In the latter case I would have to flash the .197 firmware manually, correct?

Would the latter be safe regarding warranty, etc.?

I don't want to root the phone or anything like that, I just would like to avoid unnecessary battery consumption.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Thanos88:
Try to force stop and clear data & clear cache of Google play services , then reboot your device , charge to full and then see what happens
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] TomKay:
Thanks for the tip! I've done that before, without the "charge to full". I can try the exact sequence you have described.

Given the usage figures, Google play services are not using much:

Just

3.1% Google Play services

compared to

41.3% Android System

15.2% Kernel (Android OS)

4.4% Phone Services

Are you saying that either Google Play services are using battery in a way that GSam does not catch, or that Google Play services somehow responsible for the high system consumption?
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Thanos88:
I would say Google play services is causing the issue. Also I forgot to mention, make sure you force stop, then click "uninstall updates" on Google play services, then clear cache , then Clear data then reboot your phone.

If that doesn't help, I highly recommend you dow load BBS (Better battery stats) , give it adb permissions, and monitor your battery life/wakelocks with that app
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] TomKay:
I followed the steps you described (including the "uninstall updates") and will report results, once the phone has fully charged and has idled for 24h. If there is no change, I'll uninstall GSam and install BBS.

Thanks a lot for your help.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] TomKay:
Sadly, clearing the data&cache of Google Play services and downgrading it, did not help, at least it does not look like it helped right now.

This time, the battery lost 6% in 30h (went from 100% to 94%).

The last few hours showed very little battery consumption, though. Perhaps there was some book keeping to do after reboot which caused some consumption up until very recently.

I'll let the phone idle for another 24h and see whether the flat period continues. It would be awesome if it did.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] TomKay:
I let the phone idle for another 24h and even though I restricted battery usage for more apps/services, the idle consumption did not change.

I'll try Better Battery Stats now.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Thanos88:
T

That's odd. What's your software number?
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] TomKay:
Android 12, build 32.2810.2212.241

Three updates more current than your .197 version.

I would have thought that if Google Play services were at fault, GSam Battery Monitor would have showed that. But perhaps not. I'll see whether BBS will provide any better clues. I could also try to disable Google Play services (just for diagnosing purposes), but I'm not sure that would result in any useful data, as many apps complain, if one disables Google Play services completely.

I suspect the difference between your idle consumption and mine is the firmware version. I've disabled/restricted so many apps/services, I doubt the phone would run normally now. So far, no culprit has been identified.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Thanos88:
It's going to be the firmware then, or maybe even an app you've installed. I'm currently on 44% battery, with 9 hours 41 mins SOT, 1 days 2 hours off charge
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] TomKay:
I think I can exclude any user apps, since,

1. The issue is the same if I start the phone in "Safe mode" (disables all user apps).

2. GSam Battery Monitor would have reported high usage by an app.

The battery consumers are the OS and motion sensors.

I turned off "Lift phone to check" (or similar) and the phone indeed does not activate the lock screen when I move it while the screen is dark. The phone stills faintly shows the fingerprint area if I move it, so some motion detection must be going on. I don't think this behaviour can be disabled, or can it?
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Thanos88:
The fingerprint motion can be switched off in the settings however, it's probably the firmware that's causing the main issue imo
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] luki2411:
where in the settings can be turned off fingerprint motion ?
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Thanos88:
Not sure if it's just me or they've removed that option 🤔 looks like it can't be removed but I surely that motion can't be the battery culprit. It has to be the firmware
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Andrologic:
Try disabling Play Services completely temporarily as a test and check result.

A hardcore battery optimized ROG device in a nearly de-googled state and nearly all background sync and services disabled should have ridiculous long battery and stand-by life.

Edit: Also - I have mine operating on Verizon USA.
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] Thanos88:
Could be the Google chrome update if you use chrome
[Asus ROG Phone 6 / 6 Pro] TomKay:
FWIW, after a while I just started using the phone and upgraded to a new firmware (WW_33.0610.2810.166). Since then (and if I'm not mistaken, even since the firmware version before this one), I saw the horizontal stretches (no displayed battery capacity loss) in the "Battery usage" chart again.

The chart does not seem very reliable since the same history can look different based on what the horizontal scale is and/or what the most recent consumption was.

Anyhow, I'm happy with my idle consumption now.

N.B.:I've been offered 33.0610.2810.172. Should I install it? Does anyone have any experience with this version? Sadly, updates do not always bring improvements, hence I'm reluctant to install the new version, as I currently don't have any complaints.
