I was wanting to ask if the Samsung A52 5G is the same as the A52s 5G as I was going to flash Lineage to it SM-5260 ??
[General Topics] physwizz:
This thread is about a14
[General Topics] Graeme354:
I know that, I was just asking in the off-chance. This A14 isn't taking anything, TWRP and ROM's sem to be like hen's teeth. Sorry to have troubled you.
[General Topics] physwizz:
The twrps for A14 seem to be going well.

but still waiting for A145f tester.

Do you need a twrp for A52?
[General Topics] Graeme354:
I have one and Lineage, but is there a difference between the A52 5G and the A52s 5G. There are so many damned variants and mine is SM-5260. Things were not that complicated when CF-Root told you exactly what device it was for. Cyanogenmod seemed easier too. 😕
[General Topics] physwizz:
Newer isn't always better
[General Topics] Graeme354:
No but there is both a TWRP and a Lineage os for this one. I just hope it's for all variants physwizz. 😕
[General Topics] Graeme354:
No matter how I try I cannot get the OEM to register as unlocked on the A52. I have it checked and unlocked the bootloader, but it still says "on" when I'd aborts. 😕
[General Topics] Graeme354:
I have unlocked the bootloader and the OEM omly appears when wifi is establisshed. The problem is that my A52 5G is the SM-A5260 and have had to resurrect it twice. It comes up vbmeta error and bricks itself. There are too many variations of everything and mine is obviously not the A52s 5G but the A52 5G. I always end up with the wrong F***ing phone.

For the a146u..

adb shell settings put secure assistant com.samsung.sdm/com.samsung.syncmlservice.hiddenmenu.SDMSideLoad

Then hold home.

I tried loading the Canadian firmware this way because I haven't finished setting up the whole Odin thing. It seemed like it was doing something, rebooted and everything, but no change. But, can it be used for something useful? Delta Fota stuff sounds interesting.

Probably wrong context on Google:

Before download links would even be visable , User must first LIke the thread , Reply to it , then you get download links ..a Tip for the next Update , and ONLY XDA Members , XDA way to nice to everybody that dont bring nothing to XDA Sorry for speaking my mind , XDA is like a religion to me.
[General Topics] Shakedown Shaman1:
Hey whats up physwizz, I talked to you a little bit before about flashing the a146w to the a146u and im about ready to try it I had to get a laptop and I installed ADB and ODIN and I made a backup of my phone and downloaded the current firmware its running for recovery if needed. So the last thing to get is the a146w firmware and my question to you is which CSC should I choose?
[General Topics] Shakedown Shaman1:
Hey so its seems like since last time we talked a few people have actually tried this and I havent heard anyone say its worked, have you?
[General Topics] physwizz:
You need the latest w firmware apparently
[General Topics] Graeme354:
I must admit to not understanding what you said there. Probably says more about me than anything else. I first got a Samsung A14R/DNS , then an A52 5G SM-A5260 and can DeGoogle neither. I thought the A52s 5G was the same but more fool me. I have managed fine with my Google Pixel 4XL in adb sideload, but things were a lot easier when CF-autoroot and Cyanogenmod were around. What do I do from here as I like my A52 ? 😕
[General Topics] froku:
I don't know what you should do. To explain my post, you can open activities/apps you can't usually access by setting them as the assistant. Sometimes you can access engineering mode apps and all kinds of interesting factory apps. For the a14 there's quite a bit but I don't understand most of what I've been able to access. If you ever come across an activity thats password protected sometimes the password is stored in the app in plain text, all you have to do is decompile it. Sometimes the "password" is actually one of several commands stored in plain text. I wish I understood or was able to find more about the things I've found because I'm sure they're useful to someone.
[General Topics] Shakedown Shaman1:
Can you please tell me which one is the latest one so I don't get it wrong? And does it matter which CSC I choose?
[General Topics] physwizz:
U2 is the latest. CSC doesn't matter
[General Topics] froku:
When I had a Galaxy a11 I was able to change the carrier code (/maybe install different firmware? It definitely downloaded something and did an update) to XAS by setting

as the assistant component by using

and holding the home key.

It seems the a14 has this app and activity as well but I can't access it the same way or with any of the dial codes in the following code. I don't really understand this enough so I'm hoping someone here does, but to me it looks like you can invoke the activity either by secret code (which must be blocked) or by intent (which probably requires permissions we don't have but there's always hope). If anyone understands what I'm getting at and the following code please help me understand how to craft the intent that would launch the com.samsung.android.cidmanager/.modules.preconfig.PreconfigActivity activity. Even if it requires permissions we may not obviously have. And also please help me understand how to determine any required permissions.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mozie:
Basically 2 questions; which usb-c version (3.2 gen 1 or gen 2) is the usb-c port AND does it support Thunderbolt, if so which version of Thunderbolt?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
Type-C (reversible) not Thunderbolt
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hoss_n2:
Thunderbolt is actually a faster usb C so basically any Thunderbolt cables & accessories work with USB 3.2 but with slower speed
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mozie:
Yes but I'm curious which USB version the port has, 3.2 gen 1 (5 Gbps) or gen 2 (10 Gbps)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] skriefal:
USB 3.2 is 10 Gbps (Gen 1) or 20 Gbps (Gen 2). It's USB 3.1 that's 5 Gbps / 10 Gbps.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mozie:
as far as I know it depends on how many lanes it has. To be more precise:

3.2 gen 1 x 1 (5Gbps)

3.2 gen 1 x 2 (10Gbps) (2 x 5 Gbps)

3.2 gen 2 x 1 (10Gbps)

3.2 gen 2 x 2 (20Gbps) (2 x 10 Gbps)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackbox0209:
Thunderbolt does use USB-C port since TB3, but it's not the same interface.

since Thunderbolt uses same port design - Thunderbolt device also supports USB features, but USB-C without thunderbolt support cannot use thunderbolt.

but later, USB 4 included features from Thunderbolt 3, so selective, Thunderbolt authenticated USB4 devices are expected to be able to use thunderbolt accessories. it's not mandatory to include Thunderbolt compatiblity in USB4 devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] skriefal:
Yes - I forgot about the lower-speed variations of USB 3.2. I think those may be USB 3.1 relabeled as 3.2, and Kingston seems to suggest that to be the case. But unsure if it's actually that simple or straightforward.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mozie:
Exactly. I'm curious what transferspeed S23 Ultra port has, 5, 10 or 20 gbps?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Davids777:
Hi everyone, i'm looking cables for S23 Ultra with fast charge (100w/5A) and good transfer speed (i don't know the max speed of S23U).

Thunderbolt 3 is good for charging and transfer ? Compatible witth S23U ? Thanks
[Touch Pro CDMA] mikedaniels:
So what is your advice. When I'm installing programs, are all programs able to work off of the micro sd card? I want to save memory but should some programs be installed on the internal memory? What is the thought behind it?
[Touch Pro CDMA] iamtexasmade:
some should. look at it like this:

memory: anything that you want to always have on (at least most of the time) and will stay running when your phone goes into hibernation.

Ex. BeeJiveIM, gyrator, callerutility, etc

storage card: anything that you don't use that often and want to start up manually.

Ex. Skyfire, Google Maps, Music ID

---anything that you want on a storage card i would recommend you putting on there BUT sometimes things you want to load onto your storage card only will download to your memory.
[Touch Pro CDMA] mikedaniels:
Thanks I'll take your advice.
[Touch Pro CDMA] mikedaniels:
So I guess my real question is, will I see a big speed difference if I"m running a program off of the card? Will programs run faster/better if they are installed on the internal memory? Or does the class or speed of the memory card come into play when you're tranfering files?
[Touch Pro CDMA] iamtexasmade:
in performance no, not at all. only thing is different is that when the phones suspends itself after so many seconds the internal card also suspends itself after so many seconds after the phone is in hibernation, so therefore i would use it for things that you need right now and not over a long period of time.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
I use the screenshot feature almost daily and it has been working fine until the other night. Suddenly, when I open the Gallery app, the Screenshots album shows no cover image, just a gray Gallery app icon, and then disappears within a split second. I cannot see or access it at all within the Gallery app, including from "All Albums" (though it is chosen to be on the front page). The folder and all the image files are still on my phone, as I can see them in My Folders and even open them from there in Gallery.

I thought maybe the folder got too many images in it, so I moved them to a different folder, but that didn’t work. I thought maybe the folder got corrupted, so I deleted it, but when I took another screenshot to have the phone create the folder again, it did not fix the problem. There was an update for my phone OS, so I updated, but that didn’t fix the problem.

Thanks for any help!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Try clearing the system cache...
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] Candiety:
I had the same problem, iirc it was solved during a flash/full wipe.

I also had a problem with every single image showing up... apart from the standard folders like screenshot.

With simple gallery at least, you can exclude folders. Or .nomedia
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
That's not solving it, it's nuking it. It may reoccur; always best to find to root cause. Only exceptions are after a major firmware upgrade, a boot loop, changes in hidden user settings, malware, etc. Poorly coded 3rd party apps can occasionally permanently alter hidden user settings if so it's important to not reload that app after a factory reset. Regardless back up all critical data now if it isn't...

There maybe a conflicting 3rd party app, try in safe mode. Try clearing the Gallery app data before a reset, maybe other Samsung system apps as well.

Play with it for at least a week or two before doing a factory reset for a minor issue like this.

Do some Google searches... you're likely not the only one that had this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
Thanks, I'll try that!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
You're welcome. It's always worth a try and can clear bizarre behaviors. Zero risk. I do it about once every month or two as part of routine maintenance or if troubleshooting.

If you don't upgrade or update Android loads can be very long lived. One reason I advocate finding the root cause. This N10+'s last factory reset was in June 2020; still running fast and very stable. Zero malware on this load, still running on Pie.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
Unfortunately, that didn’t solve the problem. 😞 Any other ideas? Samsung never got back to me in the help section of Samsung Members, and nobody on there had any valid ideas in the community section.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Try in safe mode.

No apps were disabled using a Package Disabler or adb edits, right?

If global power management is active, turn it off.

Make sure all Samsung system apps have the permissions they need.

It's likely a settings issue... play with it. Androids wuv attention.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
I downloaded a couple of other gallery apps to see if they saw the album/folder. One from Google did, but another from Google (the pre-installed one that I'd long-ago disabled) did not, and two other apps did. Only one had the ability to change the app cover pic, but that didn't affect the Gallery app from Samsung. So, I made the decision to Clear Data for the app even though I'd have to set up the albums again and lose everything in the Trash folder (I do sometimes undelete pics, especially, uhm, racy ones to share again before deleting them again 😂). I didn’t have to sign back in and it kept my sync settings with OneDrive, thankfully. Most importantly, it FIXED the problem with the screenshot folder! I just tried taking a random screenshot to make sure it would still work after and it did. Phew! It was annoying to set my albums on the first page up again (choose them and drag them in the order I want them in/most importance, like Snapseed and Screenshots in the top row with Camera and the Camera album from my previous phone) and lose the Trash, but worth it.

Thank you for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

Yay! Now you feel like an ace😎 So much more rewarding than arbitrary doing a factory reset.

The question remains what caused it to happen.

If it reoccures try to remember the events before it manifested itself that may have caused it.

A scripted malware jpeg from a download can cause hell, damaging other files in the same folder. Deleting that jpeg will stop the damage. The trigger is opening the jpeg to view it; it will then damage other files in that folder. Some can be repaired easily if it just changed the file type suffix, other files have deeper damage. I hate these critters.

All downloads* especially jpegs and pngs should go to the download folder first. Open them there first before transferring anywhere else. Look for changes in other files in that folder.

May be the only way to spot these vermin. Antivirus apps may not ID them...

*Scan with online Virustotal any file that may warrant it before installing or moving out of the download folder. If there's any doubt, delete the file. Downloads are a known malware vector... delete any files you didn't download. Police the download folder daily. Scanning with Malwarebytes may tag infected files there too.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
I only have screenshots in that folder, only sometimes moving some out to organize them (ex. relationship memes from Instagram in one folder, regular memes stay in the screenshots folder, random things I need to save to refer to go in a random-screenshots folder, house ideas go in another folder, etc.), never moving anything into it. Downloads are in the Downloads (with or without the "s", I forget which is the current one) folder, may or may not be moved or deleted depending on their use. I have an anti-virus app that runs all the time, tells me when anything installs (because it scans it), etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
You really don't need antivirus running real time if using Android 9 or higher... unless you do stupid things. Android 9 is very robust and secure if used right. I run a logging firewall always, this is more useful than antivirus. Any app that doesn't require internet access to work is blocked.

I scan every couple weeks with free Malwarebytes and Trojan Scanner, that's it. In 3 years Malwarebytes tagged one trojan preloader that slipped through the Samsung browser. I would've spotted it anyway as I police the download folder almost daily. Almost all malware is user installed or downloaded.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
That's just how it works, it runs all the time. Been using it for many years. Comes with my plan for my PC anti-virus program. Also has features to find a lost/stolen phone with a pic if someone tries to use it, tells you what apps have certain features like ads or access, etc. And tells you if anything installs (like, did you know Facebook updates itself multiple times a day?).
