[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Did it ever find any serious Android malware like a trojan preloader?

FB, WhatsApp, any social media, sales apps are either package blocked if bloatware or never installed. The firewall prevents any updating mischief. Even and especially Samsung updates are blocked.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
Nope, no problem with any viruses.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
You see why I said what I said?

Real time antivirus slows the Android and wastes valuable resources in doing so.

Manually scanning downloads and apps to be side loaded with online Virustotal yields better results and uses far less resources.

Android 9 is the most robust platform I ever used, it's easy to manage and keep secure.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
It does scan apps before installing them if they are not from trusted sources, and scans updates/new installs as well. You can also manually scan all apps and all files. Among other features (which apps use which permissions, etc.). Definitely not slowing my phone at all. Even auto-updates downloading and installing doesn't slow this phone, unlike my previous one. I don't even notice anything installed until I see the anti-virus notification that an app updated, so was scanned.

The Screenshots album disappeared again this afternoon, ugh! At least I know how to fix it, but spending time to choose the front-page albums and put them in the order I need them in isn't something I wanted to do again. I don't know if the size of the folder/album is what is causing the problem or not, so I moved all but 32 of the latest screenshot images to a new album. Here's hoping it won't happen again! (And yes, I did a scan of my phone after, and no viruses.)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
Duration of unused files in My Files is set to what? Double all Gallery settings.

Virustotal gives better oversight to make an informed decision. OTA upgrades and auto updates can and do break things. Samsung's will run well without them.

Just because a virus scan finds nothing it doesn't mean there is nothing. If it's an undetected scripted jpeg it's going to be a whole lot of "fun".
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ravenlida123:
I am facing the same issue :( My screenshots folder also disappears from the gallery app.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
What model, OS version?

What Gallery app version?

Any recent firmware changes, OTA updates or upgrades?

Maybe Samsung auto updated this app?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
I'm not sure what that setting is that you're talking about. Couldn't find it. Can you explain more? I've got way older files/pics than those, too, like ones from my previous phones.

Can't use many of the apps unless you update them. And of course the phone forces OS updates, so can't go more than three days without doing those when they come out. Galleries wasn't updated before the first time this happened. I didn't check this time, but usually the Samsung Galaxy Store doesn't automatically update apps, just gives me a notification asking me to update them.

If it was a downloaded JPEG (which I don't have many of), I'd think it would affect the Downloads or Facebook or Messenger albums (depending on where I saved the pic from), not Screenshots. Nothing else is wrong with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
How many times has it happened to you (assuming you were able to get it back by deleting the app data)? Do you have a lot of files in it like I did?
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
There may be be more settings for duration in different locations. Or a 3rd party app doing it.

I firewall block any app that doesn't need internet access including many Samsung system apps. Still running on Pie so the app updates are irrelevant and potentially harmful.

Scripted jpegs are nasty. If you ever get one you'll be impressed. Damage is minor and limited to the folder it's in*... if you spot it soon enough.

*Other than if you unwittingly transferring it to another folder or friends. One reason I use folders to isolated files rather than huge folders with many files.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ravenlida123:
I have a galaxy S23. Yes, Samsung auto-updated the app. I restarted my mobile. Now, it's working fine. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] ButterflyFlutterflyMyOhMy:
I have the latest version of My Files and the Settings are pretty different, including not having the duration one. Only the file size setting is under that category, and other settings in other categories are different, too.
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold3] blackhawk:
That's good. I never liked that setting. Not sure exactly how it behaves if the parameters are met.

Otherwise the older version runs well so I leave it be.

Lol, my SOP🤣

Trying to fix one problem caused bigger problems. Posted in thread below, when trying to update from OTA, as soon as I hit install—the video started glitching out in a weird way. I now only have output on hdmi out.

[MTCD Hardware Development] pumatrax:
I figured it out. I had the wrong dmcu.ext file on the card without realizing when I did the OTA update to my vendors, android 11. I took the right dmcu.ext file for my resolution and did MCU update again.

Presto!
[MTCD Hardware Development] pumatrax:
Looks like I am still not out of the woods. Screen looks fine at night but can't see anything in the day. brightness setting is not helping. looks like I need more backlight. I can get into the factory settings but I am not seeing anything there relevant. There is a screen tab with AVDD and VCOM but adjusting them by lowering the values first (dont want to increase voltages in fear of harming) doesn't seem to be effecting backlight.
[MTCD Hardware Development] pumatrax:
Ahhh, looks like I fixed this particular issue as well with the dim display. I knew my screen was brighter before an update with the incorrect screen setting on the card while flashing the MCU. Checking everywhere only suggests that screen:10 is for 1280x480. and screen:12 is for 1280x720. To try and resolve this I wanted to try a different screen number. I decided to start with lower res then native resolution so I went with screen:2, that didn't work. Then I noticed there is a gap from 10 to 12 so I tried screen:11 and boom! I got the nice bright backlight back again. Phew!

screen:11 1280x480 (bright backlight) for Xtrons PQS1053BL

Note: Before I did all this I was playing with different images, bringing it back to an image I used that got me out of my boot loop initially. I spent the evening last night prepping the front end and customizing it after I finally got it working with A11 and I didnt want to lose everything I did so before I started tinkering I backup up the rom with rkdump. These tools are really great. I am now in the process of restoring that backup to the HU and everything should be good to go.

how to unlock bootloader for samsung galaxy j2 prime
[Samsung Galaxy J2 Questions & Answers] V0latyle:
It would probably help if you posted in the right section. You posted this in the Galaxy S22 section.

As a courtesy, I have moved your post, but in the future, follow the XDA Forum Rules:

Had you done so, you would have found this thread.

Please, read the Forum Rules and New Member Guide linked in my signature.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Diguinho76:
It all started when I decided to unroot my phone. First I backed up my data. Second, I formatted the cell phone directly through its settings. So root was removed. So far, everything was fine. The cell phone turned on normally and I did the initial settings. After that I decided to lock the bootloader again. I put the phone in bootloader mode and gave the command to block (Fasboot flashing lock). A confirmation message appeared on my cell phone and I accepted it. After that the phone was like this... Blinking at boot. I can't enter fasboot or bootloader through the buttons.

Heelp please!!

See the problem (video link)
[OnePlus 10 Pro] TheNewHEROBRINE:
Pretty sure factory resetting the phone from the settings doesn't remove root. You root by flashing a patched boot.img but the factory reset doesn't touch the boot partition at all. So you locked the bootloader and now the phone won't boot because the boot partition is not signed by the OEM. If you can't enter bootloader mode you only have two solution.

- Flashing in EDL mode through MSM tool. However, since this phone OnePlus requires an authorized account to flash through MSM tool. You can try requesting a remote session through the official support (probably they won't do it) or find someone on telegram or somewhere else who sells tokens for MSM tool.

- Shipping the phone to OnePlus for repair or going to a local repair center of your choice.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Machad3x:
Did you complete unninstalled magisk or just have formatted?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Diguinho76:
I can't believe I did this... All I wanted was to remove root and I forgot to do it through magisk. I just ****ed myself 🙄🙄🙄😫😫😓😭
[OnePlus 10 Pro] TheNewHEROBRINE:
Just to confirm, holding vol + and vol - together at boot doesn't do anything?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Diguinho76:
No.... just formatted 😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓😓

Nop. nothing
[OnePlus 10 Pro] TheNewHEROBRINE:
I just remembered that with this phone you can't boot into EDL mode by holding the volume buttons like in the old days. To get into EDL mode you would need to disassemble the phone and short two pins and I immagine you don't want to do that at all. There are some special cables that can boot Qualcomm phones into EDL, although I don't know if they work with the OP10 Pro specifically.

I think your best option at the moment is to send it for repair to OnePlus or to whichever repair center you prefer.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] ChrisFeiveel84:
When you can not boot to booloader (fastboot) or fastbootd you need a Services Center (for flash over edl with msm tool )
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Diguinho76:
I got it. Payed 15$ and a guy from vietnam solved the problem for me.

FIXED!!! Flashed over edl.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] TheNewHEROBRINE:
How did you put the phone into EDL?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Diguinho76:
Vol+ Vol- Power Button ( All of them at the same time) plugged on the pc

ah so it still works! I thought it wouldn't.

But now im trying to go to 2213... I flashed a 2213 payload.bin from fastboot enhance and its not booting the system. I can acess bootloader. Do you have any suggestion to change the region from bootloader now ?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] TheNewHEROBRINE:
I would have installed the update through the settings. I don't think switching slot can help this time. The only thing I think you can do is extract the payload.bin with payload-dumper-go and flash the partitions manually through fastboot but this procedure doesn't have a 100% success rate. If you write me the partitions you extracted from the payload.bin I can write you the commands to do as I'm not used to the partition layout of the 10 Pro specifically.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Diguinho76:
Ok. Ill try. But do you know any way to do this using fastboot enhance ?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] TheNewHEROBRINE:
When you flashed the payload.bin in fastboot enhance were you in fastbootd or bootloader mode?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Diguinho76:
fastbootd
[OnePlus 10 Pro] TheNewHEROBRINE:
I don't know why it has failed then. Can you still boot to fastbootd? Or does it say something like userspace not bootable?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Diguinho76:
Yes, i can. I tried to flash the payload again but havent success
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Diguinho76:
In the fastboot mode the touch is not working. so i cant format data etc. Only buttons working
[Samsung Galaxy Watch] DarkMatterMatt:
Hi, I've just moved to Australia and am trying to activate Samsung Pay on my Galaxy Active 2.

I believe that this can be done by changing my CSC to XSA (Australia), or anywhere with Samsung Pay (e.g. XAC/Canada, BTU/UK).

I'm not worried about losing LTE functionality (although obviously keeping it would be ideal).

My watch's information:

Model: SM-R835F (40mm LTE)

Current firmware: R835FXXU1EVH4 = R835F XXU 1EVH4

Current region: RNZ (New Zealand)

Spoiler content hidden.

On EasyFirmware - SM-R835F there is R835FXXU1BTJ1 (OYV, Tizen 5.5.0.1) and R835FXXU1CUE3 (OXA, Tizen 5.5.0.2).

Will either of these trigger rollback protection on my watch please? Both are older versions than my current firmware, but they have the same/similar Tizen version.

Spoiler content hidden.

Advice and/or comments are very appreciated 🙏

Thanks in advance!

Hi,

I have a problem in which when I flash the TWRP (any Android version), then when i'm in the TWRP and I plug in the usb cable from PC, the phone reboots, so it unallows me to use sideload.

And also i can't install LineageOS from SD Card, after reboot it just bootloops recovery.

Everything was fine, i successfuly flashed LOS before on this phone, but now when i want new version it just doesn't work.

What can i do?

Edit: Seems like the official LineageOS build for merlinx doesn't work, but official does. How can I fix it?
[General Questions and Answers] antiseptic18:
I downloaded an C64 emulator a while ago, but for some reason it's not on my phone anymore.

It was a no frills c64 emu, pretty bare bones. It was free, and no 'pay for' version. I'm fairly certain I downloaded it from f-droid, because (I think?) it was open source. It wasn't a "name brand" emu like vice or I would have remembered the name. It was probably somebody's pet project apk or something. IDK.

I know I did not download it from google play store, because I haven't used that for years.

I just thought maybe somebody here knew the name of it and where I could download it. (Yes, I've tried selecting incompatible apks in fdroid settings, thanks!)

Hi,

had a rooted 2213 OP10 Pro.

Tried to update it to the latest C26 update locally. after it extracted, just rebooted without permission and I lost root.

opened magisk and there no option to inactive slot after ota.

booted into fastboot and flashed magisk patched boot. when it booted, opened magisk and there an option to write to inactive slot. did it.

after that, the phone is in qualcoom crash dump mode.

Can I recover it somehow ? what should i don next ?

please any advice, this is my work phone.

[OnePlus 10 Pro] TheNewHEROBRINE:
View attachment 5847335

This is probably the cause of the issue. Magisk switched your active slot to the previous one which becomes unbootable after the update completes successfully. You should be able to switch back to your working slot by doing fastboot --set-active=other, although I'm not 100% sure this is right solution I think it's a reasonable one. I'm always a bit scared suggesting solutions to people who have a recent OnePlus phone since they can't unbrick it if they end up in a hard brick.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Lior84:
did't understood the command that you suggested.

did copy paste to it and it says unrecognized option
[OnePlus 10 Pro] TheNewHEROBRINE:
Is your phone in bootloader mode and recognized by fastboot? Can you send a screenshot of the command + error?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Lior84:
ok, opened updated platofrm tools and did what you said...

it's worked !!!

now is the only problem that I have no root

How I bring it back ? my version is NE2213_11_c.26
[OnePlus 10 Pro] TheNewHEROBRINE:
Boot the Magisk patched boot.img (don't flash it!). Then go into Magisk and do a direct install (DON'T do install to inactive slot). Then reboot and check if root is still there.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Lior84:
where to get it ? or how to make it ?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] TheNewHEROBRINE:
You can use the one you already have, you just need to do fastboot boot magisk_patched.img (or whatever it's called) instead of fastboot flash.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Lior84:
i did this. it sending it and succeeded. then says boot failed ( remote unrecognized command)
[OnePlus 10 Pro] TheNewHEROBRINE:
Are you sure you're in bootloader mode and not fastbootd?
[OnePlus 10 Pro] TheNewHEROBRINE:
adb reboot fastboot reboots you to fastbootd, not bootloader mode! You need to do adb reboot bootloader.
[OnePlus 10 Pro] Lior84:
OK, finally everything worked. I'm a little bit rusty (my first android was HTC desire back in 2010).

Thank you very much, You really saved me a lot of time and frustration !!! I already started to think how to get all the data back.

I really appreciate your help !!!

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jazee:
Been comparing shots on the Samsung S23 Ultra I just got to my Note 20 Ultra. As expected, it's not a night and day difference of course. But in most scenes, the S23 Ultra produces moderately better results with the biggest difference when using Expert Raw in 50MP mode both JPG and RAW output (while the latter is going to be better for post editing. I imagine 200MP is good too but I'm passing on that large of file size).

I found what I think though is a limitation in the camera software (or sensor). Hopefully Samsung will fix it in a future update. It is for moderately low light indoor photos (like late afternoon and overcast with no indoor lighting turned on), but where you have a bright scene through the windows (like snowy mountains). I imagine this happens in any room where you have bright window scene and not a bright room.

The normal camera on the Note20 Ultra does much better metering and doesn't blow out the scene in the windows. The S23 Ultra comes very close if using the normal camera in 12MP mode but at best it's equal to the Note in other tests the S23 Ultra totally blew out the window scene where the Note 20 Ultra didn't. In this test scene it got a little worse in 50MP mode. Then it gets even worse in Pro mode. In Expert Raw it is bad too in some circumstances no matter what metering mode you select or exposure setting. If you are lucky to get a decent shot in Expert Raw you can tweak the RAW output in Adobe lightroom, but it's still not as good as the normal camera mode on both phones! Where as most other shot scenes, the Expert Raw in 50mp mode is superior to the other modes and anything the Note 20 Ultra puts out, but you need to zoom in on the photo to really notice the difference. (Safe to say if you're a Note 20 Ultra User (or S21/22 Ultra), you're not missing out much as the 200mp sensor in the S23 Ultra is as I expected part modest improvement and part a lot of marketing hype.)

Here's a comparison between normal 12mp camera output on Note 20 and S23 Ultra, then an Adobe Lightroom edited RAW image coming from Expert Raw on the S23 Ultra in 12mp mode.

So the end conclusion is that in the current state of the software, on the S23 Ultra, for high contrast moderate natural light indoor shots like this, you are best just using the standard 12mp auto mode in the regular camera app. Whereas in most other situations you get the best quality with reasonable file size shooting in Expert Raw at 50mp.

This is a known issue. TB is a lost cause on A13. What you can do is restore your apps and data with TB but do not open the app after restore.
