I understand this now thanks but the problem is that I cant boot it into recovery or even get into the actual system because it is stuck on bootloop. I am going to try flashing the system in the morning. thanks again!
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
You don't need to bootup to update device!

Transfer offline update files to USB drive (unzip from file two files inside a zip file and put them only on USB) and next time system starts (USB must be attached to port) with car it will automatically start update procedure and finish.

After updating it must enter Android that is dependable on what update you will perform (right one).
[Android Head-Units] RafRag:
Ok thank you I will try this right now and tell you how it goes!
[Android Head-Units] RafRag:
hey I just tried to load the update on the usb then plug it it before the unit turns on but I still have no luck. the unit just stays stuck in a bootloop only showing the android logo. the reverse camera still works, but nothing else does it stays stuck on the android logo. I think flashing is the only way to save it.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
Did you try to tap with finger in the middle of screen while USB is on and unit starts, to trigger update ?
[Android Head-Units] RafRag:
No I did not I will try this once the unit powers off
[Android Head-Units] RafRag:
do I have to tap the screen before I turn on the unit or once the unit is turned on?
[Android Head-Units] RafRag:
Im so sorry but where would I find that at? I currently cannot look into the system right now.
[Android Head-Units] RafRag:
this is the screen im stuck on no matter how long I press the reset button for or whatever I do the headunit wont change. There are some instances where it will stop and restart doing the same thing it has been doing.
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
start tapping as soon as you give contact or hear unit is booting up

If still no prevail, disconnect canbus box from the unit and start without it, then reconnect and see if corrects it self
[Android Head-Units] RafRag:
I tried to tap it as it loads up and still no prevail I do not know how to disconnect the canbus box. is there any tutorial on how to do this?
[Android Head-Units] Anton TNT:
You must detach canbus box from backside of device if you have cnbus at all, it is square box connected to wire harness.
[Android Head-Units] RafRag:
Ok got it! I will tell you how it goes!

Hey guys,

I’m getting the following error whenever I open the application on my android head unit, anyone knows how to fix this?

Thanks!
[Android Head-Units] creamygoo:
Up
[Android Head-Units] lordmuggins:
Same issue here, with multiple Tlink versions. At the end of my wits here.. is it just that our units do not support Carplay?
[Android Head-Units] BazooEG:
Tengo el mismo problema, vi este video donde se puede ver que instala y ejecuta una aplicacion llamada sdCarplay, pero no tengo mas informacion :c

Traducción: I have the same problem, I saw this video where you can see that it installs and runs an application called sdCarplay, but I don't have more information

Up. i stacked that... i need to solution too
[Android Head-Units] Emervilaw:
I have the sd_carplay file but I can’t install the app on android 11.

App not installed says even using apk installers also enabling unknown sources.

Anyone who can tell me how to fix the apk I’ll provide it
[Android Head-Units] Mohammed Ashfaque:
can u send the apk please????
[Android Head-Units] Emervilaw:
com.tw.sdcarplay_a9df.apk

If you manage to fix this apk please share
[Android Head-Units] sonichacki:
I can't access the Google Drive link! Perhaps you can help change the permissions of the file? I'm also interested in trying to get CarPlay to work on a TopWay based headunit!
[Android Head-Units] Emervilaw:
Send me the request again. I have approved many but so far nobody is been able to fix the apk.

I ended up buying a adapter for wireless car play and that’s what I’m using
[Android Head-Units] sonichacki:
Those APKs surprisingly installed on my headunit but it says "err no mfi chip", when I try to run TLINK app. I guess that's my roadblock
[Android Head-Units] Kedbeats:
How did you install the apk ?
[Android Head-Units] Antonielli:
Could you advise what type of adapter you got? I also got one but still can't get Android Auto to work.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Xoltro:
Hi,

OneUI 5.0 and previous one also introduced protect battery that doesn't allow u charge phone above 85%. I am using it often because for me it dont affect my phone usage patterns. I can charge phone at least once per 8h and it is almost impossible to discharge phone in time (I have S23+ but I am posting here cuz its more active tag). I am leaving house at 80% and coming back at 50% in overtime scenario.

But also I read it is healthy to full discharge (or till 5-10%) and then full charge phone at least once a month and some sources says even more frequently to do it.

On one side rumours says u should always avoid discharging under 25% and charging over 80%, and other says u should relatively frequently discharge ur phone and then charge it up till full.

I want to know how it works in theory I am not interested in getting answers like "lol man why u even care, phone is for you not otherwise" - because it is often answer in topics like that.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
I think that charging to 85% with low speed will be more than enough.

I saw with my gf phone, hauwei p30 pro.

I tried so hard to "teach" her a proper charging routine, but she just doesn't care. The only thing I managed to do is silently enable the "smart charging" to stop charge battery under max capacity.

After 3 years honestly her battery life is still great, as it was mine with the regular Huawei p30 (me, a maniac as you).

Anyway, if you really like the phone, you can afford replace battery after 4 years (should be even cheaper with s23 ultra)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Xoltro:
I am using 20W to charge my S23+ so it is not slowest charge but not fastest aswell. Still alot slower than chinese products offering 100W+. I think charging from 20 do 80 in like 35-40 mins is really healthy for battery.

My problem with replacing battery is more that it is hard to find original one and find service that can replace it without losing data and other stuff. At least I had much problems with it with my previous phone but it was realme not samsung so I am aware after 2 years I will have problems with replacing it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Minimize the current drain. Higher current drain reduces the battery's life span by requiring more full charge cycles for the tasks but also by raising the operating temperature.

Avoid starting a charge cycle below a battery temperature of 72F, 82 is better. Keep charging temps below 102F. 82-99F is ideal.

NEVER attempt to charge a Li that's near freezing temperatures.

Li's prefer frequent midrange power cycling rather than longer usage/charge times. My typical cutoff is 40% or higher and 72% if I'm trying to extend the battery life. Ideally it should be allowed to "settle" after a charge before using.

Never charge with the display on.

When the battery reaches 80% of its new capacity it's considered degraded and should be replaced. Degraded cells are more likely to fail. Any swelling is a failure, replace immediately. A failed Li can damage the display.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] MartinMKR:
I totaly abused my note 10 plus from september 2019 to february 2023, so almost 4 years - charging to 100%, connecting/disconnecting whenever i needed it, playing games while charging everyday, draining it to 0% sometimes, other times it was on 92% or 87% and i was planning a long day, so i charge it to 100%, full abuse. My battery was in perfect condition till the day i bought the s23u. I think that the quality of the battery matters much more than the way you use it, your usage patterns have very little effect on the battery in the period you use your phone. Maybe if we start using our phones for 10-15 years, it will matter, but...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] illetyus:
1) Don't put your phone on charge and sleep 10 hours.

2) Keep your charge between sweet spots. %40 - %80 is always ideal.

3) Fast charging does not harm.

4) Don't play games while charging.

5) Don't let your phone get too hot. Hot battery die sooner.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xwonic:
I use default 25w oficial charger from Samsung S21 Ultra, i have like 4 of those and i see no point in having a 45w to shave 10mins of charging time. Fast charging enabled.

I also made a routine, on Saturday and Sunday it disables battery protection so it charges 100% for when i travel and use camera a lot, during work days battery protection(85%) is enabled by default.

I have my S23U 1080p 120hz using light mode all the time and i'm having good results.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Keos214:
in my life I've had a lot of smartphones and what I can say is that I've never performed these types of charges from 25% to 85% and I've never had a problem, however where I had problems was with smartphones that had a processor badly optimizing the heating prevents the battery from working properly and above all the cables and chargers if you use non-official chargers or damage your battery, there is a risk of damage
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ulsa:
From what I read it does not matter if you charge to 100 % but you should not continue charging it.

To prevent this I just made a routine that turns on the 85 % mode as soon as it reaches 99 % (I guess I could've chosen 100 % but did not...). Then it stops charging and I wake up with around 99 % charge..
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] aureum:
Try to not go below 30% and never ever go to 0 or close to it. Li Ion battery are fragile in deep discharge as same li polymer batteries. So never go in deep discharge, it makes more damage to the battery than charge it to 100%. I have 10y lipos batteries for my RC models that i never go below 30% and they still have 95% of capacity... 10y and running fine in hard condition RC helicopters that pulls all the battery to 30% in 5 minutes. Li ion are the same...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Justas A.:
Why not play games while charging? Isn't also supposed top have power passthrough?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Xoltro:
Well probably it is because gaming = heat and chargin = heat. Double source of heat may cause battery damage. This is probably the only reason.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] HorizonJ:
Battery University has a really good article on what causes excess battery damage.

Basically, after manufacturing, the battery will get damaged even if it just sits there. But the things to really look out for:

Don't leave the battery discharged

Avoid heat

Don't charge when the battery is cold

Don't charge when the battery is hot

Fast charging creates heat

Don't charge/discharge above a rate of 1C

Don't keep the battery at a high voltage (fully charged)

So keep the battery between ~30-80% at a reasonable temperature
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
Since my first smartphone (a BlackBerry Curve) I've charged my phone's to 100%, left them on the charger all night, and plugged in in the car. I've never seen a noticeable degradation of battery life. I know it happens, but I think it's been blown out of proportion.

What's the point of a big battery and great battery life if you ly charge it to 85%? I think by the time the battery actually reached the point that it only had the equivalent of 85% health/life you'll be long ready to trade it in.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xwonic:
If you plan to hold it for at least 4 years its worth saving battery. And i believe:LOL: this is the phone i'm going to hold for a long time. And like i said before, using routine for weekends at 100% battery.

This is me today at work, from 85% to 71% in 10 hours, 35min sot, with 4 calls less then 5min each since i'm at work i can't use my phone all the time. 1080p, 120hz, ligth mode. wifi and bluetooth enabled with watch honor magic 2 connected.

I know it's in Portuguese but you can understand by icons and stuff.

Spoiler content hidden.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Sehaxe:
To save battery for max you should always have from 50 to 70% charge from 10C* to 45C* do not use phone lower or higher degrees it may cause bad reaction to battery. Do not use fast charge all this stuff based on a lot of researches you can find it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Mr. Orange 645:
Ok, if you're going to keep it that long I can see trying to maintain the battery. I do trade in yearly, but in that year Ive never seen any degradation. And I do all the things you're not supposed to. It stays in my car on the charger in the heat and the cold. I leave it charging all night. I abuse TF out of my battery. The rest of the phone I keep pristine tho, LOL.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] gmadjara:
I don't worry about battery at all. I love fast charging option and it's always on. I need the phone to charge fast, even though Samsung's 45W is actually really slow today. Why I don't care? Because my 2 years warranty covers the battery issues too (2X per year) so I can ask them to exchange the battery if the condition degrades.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Agree, fast charging is just too convenient. I do limit top charge and discharge % though. On this heavily used N10+ I expect about a 2 year battery lifespan. Battery change outs aren't that hard or expensive. It's going to be on its 3rd battery soon. The first one had a hard life because the phone wasn't properly optimized the first few months; constant high current drains will kill the battery prematurely.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dj24:
Just got my phone recently and catching up when I saw your post. Could you explain the steps you used that are needed to setup your routine?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ulsa:
Hi,

One routine that turns on battery protection when battery is above 99%.

One routine that turns off battery protection when battery level is below 90%
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Beefheart:
My routines.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dj24:
Thank You both. Is there a way to set up a routine where you can simply have the phone's alarm go off as soon as the charge gets to 99% or 100% so you can just simply unplug it?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Beefheart:
You don't need to, the phone stops charging which is exactly the same thing. You can adjust the second routine to a lower percentage to remove any possibility of it starting to charge again. No phone short of major rogue wakelocks should drop to 85% when off charge overnight after hitting >95%.

But if you do want such a routine:-
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
I recently moved to wireless charging, but I am worried about the fast wireless charging.

Temperature will raise to 40C° during summer (and stop charging), and 38C° during winter.

It's just too convenient, the slow charging is basically useless (a compromise would be nice, something between the 2w of slow charging and the 10w of the fast one)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Beefheart:
I've never really used wireless charging unless there is no other option. No matter the format or speed, by its very nature it results in additional heat you wouldn't get with a cable so it will never be as good for your battery.

Also, I always charge overnight and very rarely have to top up during the day so any convenience it offers is irrelevant. I mean, how much more difficult is it to plug a cable in before you sleep? The only advantage it offers from my perspective is less wear on the charging port.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dj24:
Thanks but the beep once option will not work if I'm away from my phone and miss it. I wish samsung integrated the phone's alarm system for use with routines but for now I'll set it up with your method as it comes very close to it. Much appreciated.

To piggyback on what you're saying it won't be much of an issue and won't have to worry about wearing out the charging ports if you're using a magnetic type c cable which work really well. You also have the added bonus of protecting the charging port from dust and debris when they're not in use as well as never having to worry about wiggling a cable in and out of there.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] gsser:
Check the guide in my signature. Been doing those for a long time with a lot of different phones. Always seen best results.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] dj24:
Meant to ask: does your routine work with charging while the phone is turned off? And do you also utilize discharging the phone all the way to zero and then charging the phone to 100 at least once a month or is that not really necessary?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Never charge while the display is on as it skews the charging cycle.

Avoid discharging below 20%, a 30% cut off is better. Li's like frequent midrange (30-72%, 83% max) power cycling. Frequent 20-30% small charges is ideal.

Heat and high cell voltage are the Li's prime enemies. High discharge rates should be avoided; optimize the device to lower power consumption.

Battery start temp for charging should be 82-95F

72F is low temp charging cut off.

Never attempt to charge an Li below 40F!!!💥

Charging at temperatures below 82F or above 102F can cause Li plating which will permanently degrade the battery.

After a Li reaches 80% of its initial rated capacity it's considered degraded and should be replaced to prevent a failure. Any battery swelling is a failure, replace immediately as it can destroy the device. Li's in a heavily used device have a 1-3 year serviceable lifespan generally. Replacing them is just part of regular maintenance, don't neglect doing so.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
Charge whenever you want. You don't need to discharge it completely. Smartphones are "smart" for a reason. Just enjoy your device no need to worry about battery unless you are planning to use it for more than 3-4 years.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Beefheart:
No, the phone needs to be on for any Samsung routine to work, including ones related to charging and battery. The routine works purely at a software level on Android.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] simplepinoi177:
I've been casually watching this thread, and I wondered one thing....

Sorry if it's been discussed already and/or since the last time I owned a Samsung was the s5 I'm unsure if maybe the following can't apply to the s23, but how come you guys can't use Advanced Charging Controller (ACC) & CrazyBoyFeng's ACC Settings? I don't use it, but I know many that do and they swear by it -- going so far to say that it saves the battery on their devices to be in good shape after 5+ years. At the very least, I believe it does all of what you guys are discussing here....

Some clarification would be great; again sorry if this has already been ruled out and/or being Samsung users it's well established this kinda thing can't work....
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Beefheart:
I haven't properly checked the documentation, but it requires root doesn't it? This means it's not suitable for most people. I used to root every phone I owned, but I've found the need to have descreased over the years as more features are added to Android by default.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] simplepinoi177:
Yes, this does require root -- I apologize, I didn't realize/know this was a requirement of this thread topic; it's not quite in the title or in the OP.....

But for those who are able and willing, from what I've heard, it does seem to be a rather good option....
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] blackhawk:
Charging Li's isn't rocket science. Fast charge using the cable when you're taking a break for 10-20 minutes and the battery is below 50-60%.

Repeat as needed throughout the day. Li's love small, frequent midrange power cycling; it can extend their lifespan from hundreds to thousands of full charge cycles.

Accubattery let's you set a high level charge alert. No root needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Beefheart:
A high charge alert is one thing, stopping the phone from charging when it hits that level is another. Fortunately, the routines listed in this thread earlier do that, and again root isn't needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] deitrich:
It must be taken into account that for a certain number of cycles, a well-made lithium polymer battery, lithium ion battery, as well as older types of batteries, increases its capacity. The next number of cycles, maintains this capacity. Only after the next number of cycles, this capacity begins to decrease. I think it is similar in phones. It's difficult to do a test on a phone battery. But those conducted on external batteries, show just such a property. Chips built into the battery record the charging process. In laptops, it is common to lead to a decrease in capacity, by notoriously not charging. It is then necessary to reset the battery rom.
