[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cch69:
Hi Everybody,

I need help. I bought a second hand galaxy s21 ultra.

I'm in France, and I'd like to point out that everything works fine with this phone, 4g, wifi, GPS, etc...

The only problem is that I can't update it via OTA.

It seems that it's cause it's an US version.

How to get the last version of Android 13 with last security patch?

And is it possible to do the flash without having to reinstall anything, as if the update was done in OTA?

I want to upgrade with Odin, but I don't know which firmware to choose, being sure that everything will still work after update.

If anyone has the answer to my problem, I would be very grateful.

The specifications and version of the phone are below.

Thanks in advance to all.

Best regards.

Install the last update via Odin and you'll be fine.

You can download ROMS with Frija.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cch69:
Hi,

Unfortunately, Frija can't find the update for my phone's spécifications.

I don't know why... 🤔😕

Thanks for your Help...
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
I think you did something wrong.

You need to write SM-998U1 and your CSC.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] cch69:
Thanks, I'll try...

Just another question :

I write SM-998U1 intead of SM-998U (My phone modèle is

And :SM-998U...)

CSC : G998UOYN5CVHB

It is right ?

Thanks Again... 😁
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] Nat.smith26:
The CSC is 3 letters.

You phone is part of the multi CSC OYN, so you could try XAA or XAS to flash an unbranded ROM.

EDIT :

With XAA you'll have this ROM G998U1UES5EWB5/G998U1OYM5EWB5/G998U1UES5EWB5

You have to flash the g996u1 with XAA csc, so u can get the OTA updates, it will also unlock the Esim feature.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] Finner42:
I was hoping to dust off my old Note 10.1 to use as a smart home control device, with voice activated Google Assistant (ok Google), but I can't seem to get the tablet to hear me.

I'm running a version of LOS 14.1 (7.1.2), and have installed the Google app, Assistant, Home, and the companion app for Nova launcher. All settings appear to be on, but Google won't hear me either inside or outside of the Google app.

Has anyone managed to get this working on Android 7? Should I be looking at upgrading to an Android 10 rom? Are there any stable options available?

Hi to all,

I have a irritating problem when I try to connect my Trinity with Sony car radio via bloetooth. Everything goes ok, but after connection and after making first successfull call (no matter if I call or if somebody calls to me) the PDA becomes silent permanently. No sounds at all, even when I try to listen a music. Also when I call to someone, the person on the other side also can't hear me. I need to make softreset to have any sounds. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance
[Nothing Phone 1] cyberj0g:
I have an issue when any video recorded at 4k 30 fps (no HDR, no adaptive battery or power saving, nothing else is running) has major drops in FPS. It consistently records maybe 5 frames during the first second after pressing the button. After that, the frame rate is more or less normal, but there's visible stuttering once every 10 seconds or so. Does anybody else experience this? Maybe I have defective cooling or something.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note8 Android9​

I know this an old model but I need some help please,

I don't know how to get Google home app/search to beep when I tap the microphone.

It used to do it but now it doesn't anymore after I reset app preferences and other settings as I was trying to trouble shoot my phone on a different issue.

I have already tried looking for switch access in accessibility settings, there is nothing there.

Where am I supposed to go to enable the beep confirmation? It is stuck on vibrate and doesn't beep.

[Touch Cruise General] kull:
I am looking for an option whereby one can tap the screen to wake up device after lock. I tried to look for this setting but it isn't anywhere in the settings, its only for the hardware keys. Since I am using S2U2 I thought this would be useful, but the only way seems to be using the power button, anyway of using the tap on the screen to bring up the S2U2 interface? Thanks in advance.
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
I've got a different oppnion of usefulness in this case... I'd hate the thought of the PDA activating in my pocket waiting for me to unlock it, the screen always on is a miniature black hole for the battery...

I don't think there's a feature that would enable this, or any 3rd party program that would help you do this... but then again maybe I'm worng...
[Touch Cruise General] kull:
I agree with you, the only reason that prompted me to look for this option was because I installed S2U2. Now when I want to unlock device I have to switch on power before I use S2U2, whereas it would have been more convenient if I were to only tap the screen and the power turned on. Anyway S2U2 has an option to power down which can be set for seconds, there by saving battery power too. Strangely this option was there when I was using the XDA Wizard on WM 5. Maybe they removed it in WM 6?
[Touch Cruise General] gnick666:
Sorry, I don't know about that, I've never used S2U2 before, and I never will because when I want access to my PDA then I want it now, without any delays... but even if it has a power down option it wont help if its the pocket of my jeans...

Would anyone be able to give me there persist.img file? Thank you
[OnePlus 7T Pro 5G McLaren Questions & Answers] Artimis:
I'm pretty sure persist.img is unique to each individual's phone so it's not something someone else can give without consequence.

Curious as to what actions you performed that resulted in it being lost?

I bought a device that previously had a custom o, when I installed the original from the fingerprint didn't work.

Can't get the 512GB version in Canada and it's a toss up between an s23U and a 7P both with 512GiB.

Thinking about browsing auction/swappa for one, but for a new one:

wondering if $916USD (1260CA) is a fair price or at least at cost for this phone? There would be extra import+tax imposed to get it here, probably something like 15% total cost. Shipping is only about $30~40.

Is it worth it for the cost?

Yes, 512 is needed. Some of us love music onboard <3
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Dr.Pepper:
Ok, let me predict the answers. You posted it in P7P thread= answers will be like "get Pixel, its okay"

You'll get absolutely same answer in S23 thread with "get samsung its okay"

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] volcolm:
No, I'm checking list price at current market value to determine if it's too much cost to get it imported as it's listed as new.

You know, so as to not getting ripped off.

Anything else is unnecessary.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] otonieru:
so around thousand for 512 right ? i think that would be fine if it still within your budget.

in my country, where google doesnt sell it officially, with sh*tty government's tax scheme and reseller fee, even 256GB would cost us $1200-1300 (i bought it still tho 🙈) same money that get me my 1TB S23U. Again, no regret.

i have a stereo bluetooth on my newly cooked wm 6.1 with audio gateway and it sounds great compared to when i had wm5. however talk radio sounds great but whenever i try to play music (especially one with a "busy" beat) th sound cuts in and out like it can't keep up, is there a way to fix this?
[General Questions and Answers] larsuck:
Yes, probably. AFAIK, you can't speed up bluetooth, but you can reduce the amount of data that is being sent to your headphones. Basically, A2DP takes what would normally be coming out of your speakers, encodes it, then sends it over bluetooth to your headphones which then receive it and decode it. Using registry edits, you can control the rate of encoding, much like ripping CD tracks to MP3.

Unfortunately, as with MP3 tracks, the smaller the amount of data used, the more lossy the sound quality.

Look in the Bluetooth section of Schap's Advanced Config and you will find the registry edits you need.

Hi Mooxxy,

I have the cm13 zip file and I tried it out about 2 years ago 😁 It's really nice and as far as I remember, everything worked fine. Dual boot could be possible with the tassadar multirom manager.

Concerning the dock : It works but there is a "little" problem with the touch direction:

You have to rotate the display to landscape with an app - for example "control screen orientation" . Unfortunately the touch does not rotate and therefore the touch points are 90° shifted to the landscape rotated image...

Is there a way to bypass it? It's frustrating that I can't update my phone (S23Ultra). I don't have any wifi to connect to, I pay a premium for unlimited 5g so no worries of bandwidth limitations. I can download anything of any size, stream video all day, update all other apps, etc.. but why not the the phone's updates?

Also, is there any phone brand that I can buy/use in the USA that's a flagship like the S23 Ultra that won't block updating the phone over data?
[General Questions and Answers] Telyx:
Motorola does that too for OS upgrades. At least they allow security updates over mobile data.

So say "what-if" there was some security flaw that allowed hackers to gain access to your banking app and you get cleaned out and Samsung was the one who didn't allow you to update your phone to the latest updates by blocking the download over your data connection, would they be liable since they blocked you from updating your phone?

[XPERIA X1 General] nonno:
I'm a long time user of Core Player as my primary music player on my PPC. I noticed when I installed it on my X1, V1.2.5 and now the new V1.3 release also have issues with album art. I've copied my itunes music with album art embedded to my X1. When I select an album to play (not every time but often) the album art is displayed upside down or totally corrupted (green slightly diagonal stripes across the screen). If I play an album that has no art, the last album art is displayed. At this point the X1 display freezes, music still plays but no other response. The only way out is soft reset. My fix has been to revert to V1.2.4. With this version no album art is displayed but everything else works fine (playing videos aside). I had none of these problems with my old Dell Axim X51v (VGA screen) with V1.2.4 or V1.2.5 so I'm thinking this is a WVGA issue. Is anyone else having this problem (I have logged a ticket with Corecodec but have received no response.)?
[XPERIA X1 General] scar45:
I'm having the exact same issue and it's driving me nuts. I wish there was a way to disable album art, at least during the time that this bug is existing.

Have you found any solution to the problem since your post?
[XPERIA X1 General] nonno:
Hi Scar45,

My solution pending a response from CoreCodec has been to revert back to V1.2.4. No album art, plays nicely when other applications are active. It would seem to me CorePlayer is not fully WVGA compliant or the graphic hardware support issues mentioned related to playing video extend further.

The only irritation that exists (and it applies to V1.2.5 and V1.3) as well is the play order is sometimes changed if I play from and album selection as opposed to going into the album file and selecting ALL to play. Haven't worked out a solution to that one yet.

Best regards

[OnePlus 11] horsecharles:
Firmware. 15 months ago they were working on this for Android 13.
[OnePlus 11] MrSteelX:
The oneplus 11 will never support 2 esims. No software will ever change that on this phone.
[OnePlus 11] horsecharles:
Google developed code for Android to do away with needing more than one eSim- 2 software channels would handle this. Way back then it was projected to make it into 13.

Plus there's a third party Android app that's supposed to accomplish that also.

I'm traveling and left phone behind.

I'm debating whether to return it between wanting a brighter screen, no mmwave + waiting on slow as molasses T-Mobile to enable triple 5G aggregation... & just noticed OP tablet has both phone & messaging icons.

I'm guessing it won't be native calling- rather shortcuts for continuing on computer.

But if it is I'll return phone for tablet instead- Unlimited Plan on only cost $5 (Metro deducts $5 each from other phone plan & tablet plan- Family Plan style. Or go to T-Mobile with tablet- they offer $10 Unlimited Business Tablet Plan).

Then I'll wait for OP 12. On Metro when you upgrade a phone thru them they'll give you another line for free.
[OnePlus 11] MrSteelX:
The way oneplus decided to use it was either have 2 physical sims or 1 physical sim 1 esim. Why is this so hard to accept.
[OnePlus 11] Hildanew:
you are completly wrong. support for dual eSim is ready for Pixel 7 on Android 13 QPR2 Beta 2 update +. Will be default ready on A14 for other manufactors.
