[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ZINXYX:
Hi,

I only discovered this wonderful forum a few days ago even though i have had my O2 Stellar for a year.After readng the top 10 must have software I downloaded TodayAgenda.However I can't configure it even though it has copied some appointments from my default outlook calendar and it is showing on my today screen along side the default.

I tried deleting it but it kept saying application in use.I want it to be my default Task manager.Could someone please help me?

Thanks
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] En_croute:
Not sure what's gone wrong, I love TodayAgenda.

The fact an accedental click will not open the calander is excellent !

I have the HTC Home Screen, then Lock/Unlock and Then Today Agenda.

Fixed depth (88 Pixels) totally snug fit on my screen & no scroll bars obscuring text on the RHS.

Takes a while to start up (I have 30 days showing)

It does not copy from the Calander, just reads - so no duplicates

My Settings:

General: 30 Days, Empty Yes, Compact, PIM: Pocket Outlook, View: Day

Layout: 88 Pixels, Fixed, +/- 0, Enabled rue type, Large Scroll Buttons, Only Scroll Arrows

Task/Day: Use Toady/Tomorrow, [+]/[-], Highlight

Appointments: All ticked except Past Appointments and Show Info Bar

Tasks: All unticked

Anniversaries: Personal choice - but I have them as whole Day calander events - these are the Outlook Contact details.

Colour Fonts (x2) - I use default.

Hope this helps - It's great.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] ell1234:
Hi, pulling my hair out here, I have flash and reflashed with odin, magistik, just can't seem to get a custom recovery installed for my Galaxy Tab S6 Lite wifi sm-p610 with android 13. (using stock android 13 firmware)

I tried Twrp, lineage. recoverys, both result in boot loop. Do I need to flash a android 10 to accomplish a recovery install, can someone help?
[Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite Questions & Answers] eXploo56:
Hi, had the same problem. I followed this guide: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/gta4xlwifi/

But as you i got in a boot loop and the fix is to install first the correct firmware (LINEAGE 19 -> ANDROID 12), you can use odin to do that. After this you can flash the lineage 19 recovery and then install the ROM. Be sure to enter in recovery mod immediately after flashed the recovery.
[General Questions and Answers] KakoFed:
Hello.

I have a DOOGEE S59 pro phone and i tried a bunch of times to unlock its bootloader, but it didn't work.

I've already done these things:

I've installed the USB driver and the MediaTek driver from https://gsmusbdriver.com/

I've enabled "OEM unlocking" and "USB debugging" in the developper options

I've ran the CMD prompt in the platform-tools folder (which is placed in the C: drive) and run this code:

PS C:\Program Files\platform-tools> adb devices

List of devices attached

S59PROEEA0000026105 device

PS C:\Program Files\platform-tools> adb reboot bootloader (now the phone shows " =>FASTBOOT mode . . . ")

PS C:\Program Files\platform-tools> adb devices

List of devices attached

(My phone isn't listed anymore)

PS C:\Program Files\platform-tools> fastboot oem unlock

< waiting for any device >

And this is it. I can't do anything else. When I hold the power button + the volume up key I can return to normal mode, but what can I do to unlock the bootloader? I wanted to root my phone and flash some magisk modules after that, but the situation is like I said. Can somebody help me?
[General Questions and Answers] xinthenoob:
Since the phone is using a MediaTek chipset you can try using MTKclient, after downloading the zip completely power off your phone and open a terminal inside the 2nd folder of the unzipped zip file, the run the command python mtk da seccfg unlock after you did that hold the button combination for fastboot mode so long until the screen goes fully black and mtkclient should try unlocking the bootloader. Tried and tested on my Xiaomi Redmi 9 because I didn't want to factory reset.
[General Questions and Answers] KakoFed:
Thank you, I'll try that and I'll tell you if it works.
[General Questions and Answers] xinthenoob:
I completely forgot 2 more things!

1. You need to have python installed (during the install when you see a button that says "Add to PATH" check it)

2. After opening the terminal run pip install -r requirements.txt
[General Questions and Answers] KakoFed:
I've just installed python, but I don't see the "Add to PATH" button. When I try to type that command, it says 'pip' is not recognized as an internal or external command,
operable program or batch file.

What should I do?

And also, which version of python do I have to install?
[General Questions and Answers] KakoFed:
I also tried to open a command prompt in the mtkclient folder itself, and it said that:

pip : The term 'pip' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the s
pelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again.

[General Questions and Answers] KakoFed:
Hi, it's me again.

I unlocked the bootloader successfully, but now I am trying to root my phone using magisk. I patched a boot.img file from the Doogee s59 pro firmware and I tried to flash it via ADB, but it didn't work. I went into the fastboot mode (it is saying "fastbootd" actually), and I typed

fastboot devices

That worked, my phone was listed, but after that I tried to flash the patched boot.img file using this command:

fastboot flash boot <the file directory>

And also

fastboot boot <the file directory>

And it didn't work, it said:

warning: skip copying boot image avb footer (boot partition size: 0, boot image size: 33554432).
sending 'boot' (32768 kb) failed (write to device failed (no link)) fastboot: error: command failed

Something like this.

What am I doing wrong?

Please help
[General Questions and Answers] xinthenoob:
You can flash the boot using mtkclient once again, first back up boot and vbmeta using python mtk r boot,vbmeta boot.img,vbmeta.img then transfer the patched boot to your PC and rename it boot.patched after doing that you can flash it onto your phone using python mtk w boot,vbmeta boot.patched,vbmeta.img.empty. Making a backup of those two is VERY important Incase something goes wrong.

Also I think it's because your phone has a integrity check, if you really want to flash it using fastboot I could find a fix
[General Questions and Answers] KakoFed:
Thanks, I'll try it, but in case something goes wrong, how do I use the backup files?

And also, could I install magisk modules after that?
[General Questions and Answers] xinthenoob:
Same way you flashed the patched files, always include the vbmeta.img.empty if you're flashing anything but the vbmeta.

If everything goes as planned, absolutely! I'm using energize protection as an ad blocker and it's working great.
[General Questions and Answers] KakoFed:
Ok, thanks, I'll try everything of that later
[General Questions and Answers] KakoFed:
Hi, I have a problem AGAIN. When I flashed the boot.patched file, it was almost ok, until I saw that my bluetooth and WiFi connections stoped working after the flash. There was this window opening again and again that the Bluetooth app still stops working. I had to flash the normal boot.img file for it to work.

How can I solve this problem? I still want to root my phone
[General Questions and Answers] KakoFed:
ACTUALLY NEVER MIND

I found a solution myself, it was the boot.img file that I think was the problem. I patched the boot.img file again but this time I patched that one that I backuped with MTKclient.

Thank you so much for your help, you were really helpful for me

That's what I thought, don't know why samsung support rep I spoke to kept insisting that the US version is OEM unlockable. feel like he just wanted to sell me the phone.

Does that mean us ver unlocked from best buy still can't be bootloader unlocked?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] peacey8:
No US or Canadian version can be bootloader unlocked. Period. It has been the case for many years now. It will never change.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bresk:
I have similar questions, first is worth the upgrade price? Cause I'm with the s22 ultra and the only thing that I was able to get unlocked is the network by going to t-mobile on Twitter and asking saying that I was going on vacation and would like to use a local sim card due to in Brazil i.e they use other sim card but a network unlock is not the same as a bootloader U/L
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bresk:
Was about to say that 😆
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cledee:
they probably just focused on the word unlocked and said yes, your phone can be unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] cledee:
coming from an S22U myself, if you trade in your S22U I would say it's worth it. If you are just going to buy it out right with no trade in, I would say not worth it. S23U is a 20-30% upgraded S22U in my opinion. S23U is a great device but don't expect to be blown away. At the end of the day your S22U will do most of the same things that the S23U will do.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bresk:
Thanks, the reason I've asked is because s22 ultra in the USA is not possible to gain root due to the bootloader not being able to unlock

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Jed!Master:
they put that for the international version they always do that never specific on the model lol I know with a combo file you could gain root but then that combo file would break stuff and was just no point to use that combo file but to remove frp, if you know what I mean if not then that's for me to know
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bresk:
break what for example , i dont really want to root, i just want to debloat ,remove apps i dont use ,i have tried some apps like greniffy,island,nevolta etc , shizuku but im always stuck trying to setup like they ask....but i might be doing something wrong because i use the terminal ' adb is sucesfull integrated,still not able to get shizuku working or expand the Mainland feature of the island to keep watching for background apps...if i can get a deblooter ill be happy

I haven't noticed a different in performance but I also haven't noticed a difference in battery life either. I haven't been able to see much of a benefit but since I don't see any performance drops I just leave lite mode on. Hopefully someone on YouTube does a battery comparison.

Maybe this function is just to turn off the "for galaxy" over clocking of snap 8 gen 2
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Bobthahog:
I believe you are right. Because I have one of those device info apps installed and when I have light mode on it says the max GPU is 615 and with standard mode is 719 megahertz. So I think you are correct it just defaults it to the standard Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 setings.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
Nah, it pulls back further on the core. You can see that in the benchmarks. It limits the maximum X3 core clock to about 70%.

Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra: Benchmarks reveals performance difference between Standard and Light modes

Samsung's new flagship phones, the Galaxy S23 series, debuted with new performance modes: Standard and Light. That feature appears to have been a masterstroke, with benchmark numbers indicating a slight drop in performance when in Light, accompanied by significant prime core efficiency gains.

www.notebookcheck.net
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
I did the test and posted the results in the battery thread. I gained 1 hour. First test with Standard was 10:51 and Second test with Light was 11:54.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] LuthorKid:
That's a significant extra on the battery life. I'll stick with light since mostly what I do doesn't require heavy usage.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Paul_Deemer:
I am doing another test now with No Social Media Apps installed on phone. Just my normal phone, text and email apps, work apps and Netflix, Prime, HBO Max, Paramount+ and Disney+ for streaming apps. Bet I gain at least an hour without Facebook and Facebook Messenger installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fl1nt91:
Probably affect heavy performance core, so that with standard daily usage you can't see the difference
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] peeweew:
Haven't had any performance issues on Light mode. And quite significant improvement on the battery consumption. So I'll stick with Light.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] xwonic:
What i wonder is the NPU (Neural Processing Unit) aka A.I.

If light mode lowers clockspeed from CPU and GPU, does it affect NPU?

I mean will it affect post processing during picture shots?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
I've tried to spot a difference between these two perfomance profiles after may update and I did notice few things:

Light mode: device is less warm while multitasking, charging and casually browsing. However I did notice that I lose some "frames" using navigation apps such as "waze" and on heavier multitasking(spotify, facebook, reddit and instagram for example). Battery is a little bit better than standard mode but not that noticable at least for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] The Atomic Fart:
The only thing I noticed was the phone got tangibly warmer when using the camera and the subsequent photo processing in standard mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] illetyus:
You all know S23 phones use overclocked Snapdragon Gen 2, right?

If you want a stock Gen 2, just use light profile.

You won't notice anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
Wow, now that's a bold claim! Light mode = standard Gen 2 clock speed and Standard mode = overclocked speeds...This needs to be verified.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
Actually I did notice a thing. See the post above #17
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Could you please point us towards the source of this information?

It would be interesting to see what methodology was used to verified this.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Erm...it's not a bold claim?

How about you inform yourself before assuming that something is a "bold claim"?

Qualcomm released two versions of their 8gen2 SOCs.

#1 Qualcomm SM8550-AB Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 - (AB VERSION)

#2 Qualcomm SM8550-AC Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 - (AC VERSION)

AC version was exclusively used for the Samsung S23 series.

The main differences are indeed the Overclocked prime core and the GPU.

AB version - CPU Prime core 3.2 Ghz

AC Version - CPU Prime core 3.36 Ghz

AB version - GPU Adreno 740 - 680Mhz

AC version - GPU Adreno 740 - 719Mhz

Not to mention that the AC versions are probably the best silicon quality samples they had hence why they OC-ed it and they're also "slightly" more efficient.

Though the efficiency is arguable at the 3.36Ghz scale compared to 3.2Ghz.

Also, here's a screenshot where you can see that the kernel contains two versions (this is on the GPU frequency and voltage table)

My screenshot shows 730Mhz though since I overclocked it a tiny bit more (maxed out at 730Mhz) and undervolted the GPU for about 20% but the default is 719Mhz.

And to add regarding the AC version TAG.

Qualcomm uses AC tag for the PLUS version of their SOCs. Like for example:

Snapdragon 855 and we had the 855+

Snapdragon 865 and we had the 865+ later.

8150-AB and 8150-AC version of the SOC.

8250-AB and 8250-AC version of the SOC.

AC version was always the one that was slightly overclocked compared to the "stock" AB version.

Now though Samsung is the only one that used the AC version with the S23 series.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Read my reply above.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amirage:
I'm not trying to flame anyone here but your arguments above don't answer the question that Light mode = Standard Gen 2 SOC and Standard profile = S23 OC-d Gen2 SOC. A post here says that the light mode downclocks the X3 leading to battery efficiency close to 10-15% while the difference between S23 Gen2 and standard Gen 2 is just 5%. Anyways, I think there's a lot more going on in the performance profile more so at the kernel level.

Let's not argue further on this.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] iamnotkurtcobain:
It's not. Stock 8 Gen 2 is faster than with the light mode.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Yeah, go dodge now. lol

You can't directly compare the battery efficiency of 10-15% to the Core clock difference and say how numbers don't match.

The clock difference itself is only 5%~ but the actual power consumption difference is not 5% and the overall power consumption is above 5%. Hence why I said that efficiency at 3.36Ghz is very arguable because the scaling at these frequencies is usually bad and not worth the OC due to requiring MUCH more power for a slight performance difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Imprezzion:
I was running standard since I got the phone 2 weeks ago from work. I'll switch over to light. I don't really do any heavy work on the phone, just browsing, YouTube, and work stuff. As long as I don't get frame drops I'll be happily running light mode.

SmartSwitch... never trust it with critical data.

Where it (and Kies) is likely to screw up is when migrating to a different model or OS version.
