What about the 5g . I'm buying the docomo phone but it has global rom and it support volte as the buyer said , he didn't mentioned the 5g support
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] kopap:
You need to check when you get the phone .if it has a global rom and global firmware,5g should work
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] x_gekyume:
Is it worth buying in 2023 ? .

If you have demo model or prototype one of 5 mark 2, unlock bootloader and root then use partition backup and restore app, backup all bootloader related partition and upload it here. it may helps some user with bootloader unlock allowed no can unlock bootloader of their phone

Sir I have some questions too.

The seller which I know is selling me the activated product, but will factory reset affect the activation it is probably a Japanese unit SOA02.

Help would be appreciated.

Thank you.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] x_gekyume:
Bro I heard that some of the phone has green line issues. I'm basically buying it for camera and playing pubg mobile
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] LagG3R_$:
Not all devices had that issue , I went to the local dealer to check out the devices they were physically new ( looked to me ) , my only concerns were about the software compatibility , activation and battery .

I'll attach the pics of the piece they showed me , Japanese unit SOG02.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] sp4chamara:
Hi,

I recenly bought the Xperia 5ii ( SO A52) version which is a Docomo NTT Japanese model. ( bootloader locked /netwok unlocked )

This is a single sim version and haven't checked the 5G network yet. However, so far so good. everything works fine. The battery life is good.

I must say there are some preinstalled Docomo apps which can not uninstall normally. So I had to follow the ADB method suggested by this youtube video.

The only problem with this unit is I can not flash custom ROM or global ROM because of the possibility of bootloop or hard brick. So I have to stuck on A12 stock ROM. Furthermore, I was not able to find a stable GCAM version for this model. Each pp has its unique bug for this model.

Finally, I have to say that I am satisfied with this model and recommended to buy. cheers !
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] cuynu:
yes, i see it has green line on almost every 5 mark 2 after 5 months use. but that not what i want, i just want prototype firmware because its can help unlocking bootloader on simlar 5 mark 2 that doesn't allow bootloader unlock
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] x_gekyume:
Bro which varient is most affected. I'm looking for SO-52A docomo varient. I heard that green line issue is on the hk and Taiwan model.
[Sony Xperia 5 II Questions & Answers] cuynu:
most affected variant is global unlocked

[Realme X2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] d_dymon:
hi, does any of you have very high battery usage caused by Android System or Google Play Services? I tried both NikGapps full and BitGapps mini - same behaviour. I also had the same problem with Lineage 19.1 20.0, so I'm out of ideas.

I need to disable the play services in the settings to have my phone last more than 3-4 hours in my pocket.

Hi , first of all , thank you karthik for this rom , i use it since 2 week , in fact its the fastest rom i ever tested so smooth and beautiful , a master piece of sets , i know cr droid many years ago and i appreciate this rom a lot , but i want to declare some little issue that i found :

- The battery drain , sometimes i charge my phone 2 or 3 time a day , i use only google chrome and sometimes youtube.

- Sometimes a black screen occure while charging my phone or when put screen off and no respond at all until putting it in my pocket , then picking up after few second .

-Sometimes The AOD get stuck while displaying information while screen off and it syncronise after 3 or 4 minute , i have to put the phone in pocket or to cover the sensor for a while to see the screen running again ..

Otherwise , i appreciate your work , keep up
[Realme X2 Pro ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] kushal_neov:
I have not come across a more stable custom rom. Looks good and feels smooth. BUT after using the rom for daily use for 2 weeks I can say this that it is not for daily use because of the battery drain. with no games, just whatsapp and facebook use requires me to charge the phone couple of times. battery drains 6-7% overnight with no apps running in background. whenever you get time, if you could check on this, the rom could give a new life to a lot of phones.(y)

hello

i've never downgraded/flashed any firmware on this device before, so before i do something that might be fatal/result in bricking my phone i would like to ask is it possible to downgrade a S20 FE android 13 to android 11? while my one ui version is 5.1 i haven't updated the security patch to the april one (the one that changes your binary) it's currently the 1 march 2023 one

i've already checked & downloaded a firmware with the correct binary number so now all i need to do is flash it
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Welcome to XDA.

You're limited by the bootloader version to how far you can roll it back. If the bootloader was upgraded too, you're boned. The 5th digit from the rear is the significant digit that determines that. If the rom's 5th digit is the same or higher value you can flash it. If lower, no go.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] rgrapow:
Hi, I downgraded my S20 FE several times from 13 to 12 with the same binary (obviously) with no issues at all, so you can downgrade easily.

In my experience on samsung devices (literally I flashed a hundred times on different devices) it's very unlikely that you brick your device with odin, even if you use a wrong firmware for your device....the only thing that it may brick a device is because it has a hardware damage
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] mezacorleehone:
Hello

This will depend on your variant.

on the G780G (binary 3) and G781B (binary 4)

You can download to android 11.

since it has the same binary.

Of course, you should do it from 0.

do not install via CSC_HOME.

The installation must be clean.

before all make backup.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] kiyan_:
yes it is the same value

mine G780GXXU3EWB2

the firmware i downloaded G780GXXU3AUH5

which would make both binaries '3' right? would this be okay?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] kiyan_:
thank you for your answer & sharing your experience, this is what i've been looking for

[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Or if the battery has insufficient charge or capacity. Any time you flash a device you take some level of risk. A power outage with no or insufficient battery backup for the PC would also end badly.

The risk is also greater with Androids because it's not a small couple dozen MB flash that's done in seconds. Lots more time and data for things to go wrong. If my Canon pro cam had a bad flash, Canon would likely repair for free or a reasonable charge. Samsung will do neither of these... repair cost plus a new mobo loaded with the latest firmware. perfect.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] kiyan_:
yes that is my phone variant

may i ask why is that?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] mezacorleehone:
the CSC_HOME file

comes in the software you just downloaded.

unlike normal CSC.

The CSC_HOME is used to only update the system, without deleting anything.

in your case you are going to downgrade, use the normal CSC without _home.

I'm referring about samsung devices based on my experience (trial and error), I had a lot of bricks, soft bricks and I was able to solve it with odin.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Yes, exactly. Why do you want to roll it back?

If it's a specific issue finding a work around may be easier.

Android 11 is no picnic either. I prefer Pie, Android 10 is ok; I'm running both and will likely never upgrade them.

Regardless you will need to lock it down so it can't do OTA upgrades/updates. That's the first thing I do on my Samsung's... once bitten, twice shy🤣 Upgrades and updates can and do break Samsung's... then you have find work arounds and fixes.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] kiyan_:
other than battery run out faster & the phone feeling a bit sluggish nothing specific....it's just i've already debloated my phone & disabled many features of the phone that i dont use and dont plan on updating my phone anymore and while that does help improve things quite significantly i just thought at this point why dont i just might aswell downgrade the phone

before i had this phone i was fine staying years with a phone that stopped receiving updates after android 6 lol just that it eventually ran its course and after several hardware problems & the phone giving up by itself (every 3 weeks or so it'll get stuck on bootloop for no reason) i assume it was time for me to buy a new one...too bad
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I'm glad that's working well for you. I use to always be playing with my PC's like that. With Androids I took a more conservative approach; less down time, more play time.

I leave the firmware be on my 2 stock N10+'s. They run very good, fulfill their mission and it's simply not worth the risk or time. I don't allow firmware upgrades or updates. This N10+ in my hand is still running on Pie, firmware is 3.5 yo, and the current load will be 3 yo this June. No malware in all that time; security isn't an issue. Still fast, very stable with minimal maintenance. It's also heavily optimized and running well; I have zero incentive to change the playing field by altering the firmware.

My SQlite scores are lower than they should be in spite of my fast disk r/w scores so eventually I may do a factory reset to try to resolve that. Lol, that's the full extent of my ambition at the moment.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] kiyan_:
yep. i learned the hard way

i'm quite green at this stuff and at first i just thought "more upgrades & updates means good! i should get the most out of this device" but alas after some serious overheating & battery draining problems over loads of features i dont even use.....
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Anything below Android 9 is suspectable to partition worming nasties like Xhelper. Run Android 9 or higher. Android 9 is relatively secure unless you do stupid things.

All Samsung's should be optimized. You will still have scoped storage running on Android 11 anyway. If you don't mind the UI of Android 13 I would try to find what's causing the issues.

Disable global power management then go after the power hogs on an individual case by case basis. A logging firewall is useful in finding them. Cloud, and social media apps are prime offenders. Try temporarily disabling Google play Services and see if this helps; Google backup Transport, Gmail and Playstore are dependencies of it. Enable as needed. 5G can also suck a lot of power and is inefficient when doing small bandwidth transfers. Wifi isn't needed if you have an unlimited data plan. Use Package Disabler or abd/ladb edits to take out the really problem apps that can't be resolved in settings. Don't go too nuts though; target the hogs and totally worthless apps like Digital Wellbeing. Most of the dozens a small Samsung system apps are best left alone as many modify the UI and consume very little resources. Understand what the app does and it's dependencies if any before disabling whenever possible.

Play with it...
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] kiyan_:
i've done all that hahahah

other than youtube i don't have any other social media apps installed and i've already got rid of chrome & switched to a lighter browser

yep i like to experiment, i suppose the flashing stuff is the next step after all of that (yes have tried factory reset several times too, i don't mind as there aren't any important data in my phone but still, possibly getting a priceful item bricked over my messing around isn't something i'm too excited about, that's why i still like to ask around)

also what got me the idea was that i've also read from several people with the same device saying that with every android updates the phone gets even more sluggish
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I learned the hard way with Samsung's too.

After the upgrade to 13 did you do a factory reset? If not, now is the time. Don't use SmartSwitch; do a clean load by importing all the critic data yourself.

At the very least clear the system cache.

I use Package Disabler to disable about 70 apps. It's not as bad as it first seems. Android 10 literally has about 100 more new system apps than 9. Most of those new ones should be left alone. My disable list for the Android 9 N10+ vs the Android 10 one is almost identical though.

Samsung's do lots of cool things so don't be too concerned until you learn more about the features. Bixby got killed right out of the gate; it's a hog and it's EULA is one of the worst I've ever read.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] kiyan_:
yes i've done that

clearing the system cache, wipe cache partition, repair apps, galaxy app booster too

smartswitch is uninstalled, all bixby's are either uninstalled or disabled

i also use package disabler to disable apps

i pretty much have 0 heating problems now unless i use it for heavy gaming on max settings for hours...not. the battery would drain so fast if i use it that way lol!

but on the bright side i pretty much have 0 lags/fps drop even if i game on max settings, just overheating & battery drain, that's pretty neat!
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
What's your SOT when not gaming? Use manual brightness control too and keep it under 50%.

Kill all animations, etc as well. Disable all Google, Samsung, carrier and app feedback.

I use SD Maid Pro as it can clean up things other cleaners don't touch on stock Samsung's. It's caused no damage in it's default settings.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] kiyan_:
like on average? i didn't keep note of that....

yes i've disabled all my animations, optimizing aside i've always liked it that way

make everything seem so quick & snappier

most of the times i do use sd maid pro to clear cache, sometimes through LADB too

syncing, cloud & backup thingies, ads, disabled or set on manual

brightness manually set under 50% most of the times (unless whatever i'm watching/playing is pretty damn dark i can't see a thing) and i use dark mode on everything
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
It's good to track SOT and screen off usage. It helps you to fine tune, to know when there's a new issue and to track the battery's degradation rate/level.

Is there a change when being in andrid 11?

I can have the possibility to download to android 11. my binary is 4 and android 11 is binary 4 for G781B
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Mentain:
It's same to me.;)
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] kiyan_:
i can't quite tell yet...it's only been two days hahah

but so far there seem to be less heating

and the games i play just feels 'right' not sure how to explain it, like feels less sluggish?

to be honest this is my main reason for downgrading, for some reason on android 13 most of the games i play are either buggy/makes the phone overheat too much. to me they all just feel less compatible somehow, but lets see how this goes on android 11
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] mezacorleehone:
I understand, I come from years of installing roms.

whenever the android system is increased, it always gets hotter than previous versions.

but they also improve the speed of installing apps and more.

I imagine that in that section is where we see that it heats up.

I am currently in A13.

one day I will give myself the task of verifying A11.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] mezacorleehone:
are you using stock without root?

In my case I use bandit or klimbo kernel.

Believe me, another thing from another world to have a modified kernel.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] kiyan_:
of course

there are some handy features that i notice are missing but i didn't mind that too much
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] kiyan_:
yeah my phone was never rooted

there was a time where i was very intrigued though....
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Yeah. Pretty interesting.

I like to see a performance comparison on the same phone loaded with Android 9, 10, 11, and 12. All optimized to roughly the same level.

I think Pie would thump all of them... not liking scoped storage one lick. Wonder how a N10+/Pie (not 11 or 12) would stack up to a S23U? Never seen that done or if it was Google search buried it deep🤣

I have 2 N10+'s both running on their factory loaded firmware (the Pie one got it's last OTA update) the newer one is loaded with 10. The Pie variant has far less small Samsung system apps, is more functional and seems slightly faster/more efficient. Neither will likely never be upgraded. Security simply hasn't been an issue. Zero incentive to upgrade other than some minor cam perks.
