[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Phazon UK:
Just to preface this, I have absolutely no experience with Android, never mind the more complex parts of it.

Currently I have a family members S20 FE that will not boot, at all. Not even in recovery mode. All I can get is "An error has occurred while updating the device software", or Download Mode that just showed a few ID numbers.

She has a ton of photos on there (not on the SD card) that she wants rescuing. So basically, is it dead? Is there any way to recover the data on there?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] mezacorleehone:
Can you enter download mode?

You can no longer make it turn on or image?
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] 3mel:
if you can enter download mode then head to YouTube and look up recent videos on flashing a Samsung phones with Odin... if you manually download the firmware with a downloading PC app you'll 5 archives inside a zip. you'll be using 4 out of those 5 archives it's very important that you use the HOME_CSC file and NOT the other file also called CSC_blahblah

the home_csc file will preserve her data, the non home file will entirely wipe all the data.

you might also want to look up videos on using Frija v1.44 downloader or Samfirm downloader to make sure you select the correct csc (region code) firmware for wherever you guys are.. look for any PC apps you use only from xda links when you search.

if your unsure on something then wait and ask, it's pretty easy to do but doing it wrong once would lose that data.
[Samsung Galaxy S20 FE Questions & Answers] Phazon UK:
Well, took a while but got there in the end. Huge thanks! Phone booted back up with all data intact.

So, everyone who brought the HD from Mobiles.co.uk/MobilePhonesDirect - was all the saga & waiting worth it? :)

I'm very happy with my HD, but I'm curious as to whether it lives up to all your expectations given all the fuss!

Which charger (with cable) will charge the S23 (not + or Ultra) the fastest?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
Use the OEM Samsung cable/brick.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] kristof889:
There is no OEM one, no? As in the box. btw it supports max 25W so the "Samsung 25W PD Adapter"
[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
Samsung went chintzy with all the "extras" like a brick/cable in the box. The N10+ came with them.

So... yeah buy the OEM Samsung 25W charging set. It's actually a high quality pair. My original set is still tight and running good after almost 4 years and thousands of charges.

Don't roll up the cable once unpacked to prolong its lifespan.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] white-k:
Thank you for your responses!

I ended up giving these a go, and they charge my S23 from 1% to 100% in less than 1h and 15 minutes (I even a few things on the phone while charging).

I use the ''Ambrane 45W Fast Charger'' with cable that came along the phone and have been very satisfied (using device & charger since 24 Feb). Charges the phone from 0-100 in about 40 mins (0-85 in around 30mins). The phone has a "superfast charging" feature very few know about and correct cable/pd bricks do this trick.

What is Samsung Super Fast Charging?

Samsung's Super Fast Charging offers up to 45W of charging power, but you can't expect the same performance on every device.

[Samsung Galaxy S23] dx09:
Not sure why it says that, maybe 25W max with the normal fast adapters and not the adaptive/power delivery adapters. I get a superfast charging text/ teal colored ring when I switch on the toggle for fast charging and green ring/charging text when it's off.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] dx09:
Checked on Ampere it shows:

4400 mA max output with the superfast charging

1850 mA max output otherwise

Hopefully, someone with a better knowledge might be able to help us out! 😅
[Samsung Galaxy S23] white-k:
But do you have the plain S3 or S3+ (Plus)?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] bipindr123:
you get 5000 mA with 5 V which is 25W. the super fast charging for s23 is 25, norma charging is 15W
[Samsung Galaxy S23] white-k:
I'm confused. Can a STANDARD/PLAIN Galaxy S23 (not S23+ or S23 Ultra) not only do Fast Charging, but also Super Fast Charging? And if so... how?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Me Gusta:
It can't. Don't get your hopes up.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] waterpolo:
The normal S23 support fast charging with 25W, see more info on https://www.androidauthority.com/samsung-galaxy-s23-charging-speed-3287167/

Yes, I know. It was just confusing when people started to say that they support Super Fast Charging, earlier in this thread.
[Android Head-Units] toadrage:
Seeking recommendations for a headunit under $200 that is either 9" or 10" and has an available dash kit for a 2017 Honda Fit.

I've been on the fence about Android based headunits since they use either TLink or Carlink to stream android auto/carplay to the unit. Based on a few reviews and forums I've seen persons say their experiences have been mixed, typically with support in getting any issues resolved or getting an update for the app.

I really only need to use android auto/carplay, so I was considering a linux based headunit from either Eonon or ATOTO but there are some caveats with each. Eonon's 10" headunit is the standard shape and size, so dash kits are available but for some reason they decided to mount the display on the unit for tilt and swivel, so it doesn't sit flush.

ATOTO on the other hand also has a 10" headunit but it's a non-standard shape, I haven't been able to find a dash kit that matches it.

[Android Head-Units] bahaalden:
Hello all,

I installed a chinese headunit to my car (grand cherokee 2013 with premium sound system),i had to modify the wiring harness becuase the sound system only receives the front speakers and the amplifier in the car does the rest of the work, now everything works fine except call audio in carplay because it seems to use only the line coming out of the headunit to the back speakers, call audio on bluetooth works well.

i have tried everything possible in the available settings in the headunit but no luck to make the integrated carplay to use the line of the front speakers, carplay uses a built in app called car link 2.0 which doesnt have much settings to customize it.

i am considering rooting the system to gain more access to the settings, and hopefully find a work around, the attached image is the info of the headunit, it says android 13 but actually it is 8.1, i need help rooting it and i have no experience wahtsoever in android systems.

or if there is a work around this problem without rooting it, it would be a great help, i have tried all the possible solution that show up in google search and no luck.

[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Raistlen0:
Has anyone upgraded to something better/worthwhile than the V30? I'm looking for ideas of something to use on Metro PCS/ Metro by T-Mobile.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] schwinn8:
https://xdaforums.com/t/moving-on-from-the-v30.4509085/

I found I no longer needed root, and went to the S10+, and it's been great for me.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Raistlen0:
Would that also be 5G capable?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] schwinn8:
I chose the S10 because it still had a headphone jack, which my wife and I did want to retain, at least for now. Next time, I think I could give that up, as it seems that's how things are going these days.

Mine is an SM-G975U1, which is the non-5G version. I didn't care about 5G, as I don't have it in my area anyway. Fact is, most places don't have true 5G, so who cares? There is an updated version of the S10 with 5G, so you'll have to see what you want.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] Raistlen0:
Well I do want to keep a headphone jack, wireless charging, Water resistance rating, rooting I am not sure if I really need any more. I think Vanced youtube can work on non rooted devices so I may not need it. But with 5G coming out I figured if I upgrade I may as well get one that can do it.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] schwinn8:
Yes, all the hardware you need is on the S10 series (last Samsung series that keeps the headphone jack). Wireless charging is there, as is water resistance. AFAIK, no Samsung is rootable anymore (early S10 was, and Exynos CPU still are, but USA versions with Snapdragon are not, particularly if updated to current stock ROM versions). Blame the US carriers for this nonsense.

I have Vanced on my phone, and it works fine.

5G is currently really just marketing nonsense. Unless you're in a big city, you're not going to get "True" 5G with mmWave technology, because that signal just doesn't travel far. Without mmWave, you're stuck with Sub-6G frequencies, which are a little faster than LTE, but not a lot... so I don't think it's worth bothering yet, unless you can get it cheaply.

See: https://www.androidauthority.com/sub-6ghz-vs-mmwave-5g-3051246/

How's your battery life and are you on Android 12?
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] schwinn8:
I've stayed on 11, because I have heard that call recording has been disabled on 12, and I use that somewhat often. I have been considering trying it on my wife's phone.

I'm happy with the battery life myself. I can go the whole day with heavy usage without issue. Battery info in settings says "a full charge can last about 20h11m".

Accubattery says combined use of 23h47m from full.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] yjgfikl:
I'm still using my V30 on stock 9.0 (rooted). I think if I was to upgrade though I'd get a Sony Xperia 5 IV or the upcoming V (which should fix the overheating problems). It seems to be the only phone that most closely resembles why I bought LG phones to begin with.

I do wish I could bite the bullet and just flash an updated Android version to my V30 but I don't want to lose VoLTE or VoWiFi
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] schwinn8:
I remember looking at the Xperia series for the USA, but I found it didn't carry all the bands we need here, which made it kinda pointless. Then again, I prefer VZ towers in my area, and most international phones don't work on VZ frequencies...
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] ChazzMatt:
Yeah, Galaxy S10 is great. I have Galaxy Note 9, rooted. SM-N96OU1 (factory carrier unlocked version). 4000 mAh battery. Stereo speakers. Headset jack. Wireless charging. IP68 water resistance, like the V30 series. 128GB storage, like my V30+.

If I didn't have the Galaxy Note 9, I would use the Galaxy S10+, which has the same screen size but 4100 mAh battery. I actually bought one of those, when I was replacing my V30+

-- but for some reason the code to root it didn't work. So the guy nicely refunded me the money and I then purchased the code to root the Galaxy Note 9, which did work. I still have the Galaxy 10+ in a drawer for my wife to use, when she gets tired of her V35 (which replaced the V30).

Here's a

specs comparison of all three

: Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+.

I also don't care about 5G. As long as I have LTE, I'm OK. The alleged 5G speeds are not realistic where I live and drive. Nor do I need them for navigation, phone calls, even occasional videos when away from Wi-Fi -- because I have LTE.

Carrier unlocked LG V35 originally sold by Cricket (yes, Cricket is AT&T-owned MVNO, but the phone was carrier unlocked) is the purest straight upgrade from V30. Same size, same form factor, with faster CPU, more RAM. My wife and elderly mother are both using V35, upgrading fromV30. My wife is using the Cricket carrier unlocked version, but my mother has the AT&T carrier locked version. LTE bands: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 12, 13, 14, 17, 20, 25, 26, 28, 29, 30, 38, 39, 40, 41, 66. That should handle all the T-Mobile LTE bands you need, correct?

Only problem is, for the V35 in the U.S. only the 64GB version is available. But my wife and my mother don't need that much storage space. Yes, it has microSD card slot, but I'm talking about native storage. (128GB V35+ was sold in Brazil, but I can't find it online.)

After that, I would recommend the Galaxy Note 9, Galaxy S10, Galaxy S10+. My Galaxy Note 9 is rooted. The S10 and S10+ are also rootable (with a paid bootloader unlock code) but you have to be on older Android firmware for it to work. In spite of meeting those conditions for some reason my AT&T-branded S10+ was unresponsive to the paid bootloader unlock code. Guy refunded me my money, and I said "What about a carrier unlocked Galaxy Note 9? I happen to have one of those also." He said, "Yeah." He generated another code and it was actually less money. It worked.

When you buy those online, you can usually specify if you want carrier unlocked or one with carrier firmware, like T-Mobile. Sometimes carrier Wi-Fi calling depends on carrier firmware. That's why I got my mother an AT&T V35, as she uses AT&T. My wife and I use Google Voice, so only need LTE data or a Wi-Fi signal for our calls.
[LG V30 Guides, News, & Discussion] yjgfikl:
I think that applies to older Xperias, but with most current models there's a "US" version that should have all the right bands. I ended up getting a used Xperia 5 IV last week and haven't had any issues with it on Verizon

Se você ler o email e a senha e só restaurar de fábrica e depois usar o email e sua senha do icloud.

Único maneira e fazer o bypass ou fazer o desbloqueio removendo o resistor na Placa mãe e em seguida passar um software, pois na remoção do resistor ele brika e fica em tela preta mais reconhece no 3UTOOLS e da pra passar o software

=================================

Moderation edit; post translated by BIGWORM:

If you read the email and password and just factory reset and then use the email and your icloud password.

In case you don't know,

The only way is to bypass or unlock by removing the resistor on the motherboard and then using software, as when removing the resistor it brittles and stays on a black screen but it recognizes it on the 3UTOOLS and you can use the software

I am a technical guy, but this is my first time hacking into my cell phone firmware, so please be patient with me.

Problem description:

Samsung Galaxy S7

SM-G930F (international model), unlocked

CSC: G930FUUB8ETCD (TPA, Panama, don’t ask me why)

My Canadian operator (Videotron) is shutting down their 3G network. I need to enable VoLTE in my phone in order to be able to make voice calls and send SMSes. I have already received a VoLTE-capable SIM and I tested it in a different device. I checked hidden menus in my phone, “VoLTE Provisioned” flag is OFF and greyed out (I am not able to flip it).

This phone model seems to be capable of VoLTE. I found some screenshots of this model in UK (Vodafone) with VoLTE menu present in the regular phone settings (Connections-> Mobile Networks).

I think my best shot to enable VoLTE in my phone is to replace the phone’s firmware to CSC BTU. This firmware is for the same model – SM-G930F, so I expect it to work on my device and hopefully give me the VoLTE option.

Questions:

1. Did anybody have a similar issue with their Galaxy S7 and how did you fix it?

2. I found a number of articles and videos about using Odin to update a Samsung phone to the latest firmware within the same CSC, but I haven’t seen a step-by-step guide about flashing a completely different firmware with a CSC change. Can anybody help me to understand the specifics of that process (which problems to expect, any particular steps to take)?

3. Is there a better CSC option than BTU in my case?

4. A more specific question about Odin. There is an option “Re-Partition”. Some articles recommend this option, some don’t. Does anybody know exactly what this option is used for? Do I need to select it when I am replacing CSC firmware on my device?

5. There seem to be two CSC files in a firmware package – CSC_xxx and HOME_CSC_xxx. Some guides suggest to use HOME_CSC, but the most common recommendation is to use the CSC one. What is the difference between these two files and which one shall I use in my case?

6. I do have a Google account in my phone and I do remember the password for it. Does it mean I do not have to worry about FRP lock? It is my understanding that I will simply enter the password when I am prompted for it after the upgrade and that will be enough to proceed. Or shall I still remove the account before flashing the firmware?

7. Is my understanding correct that by changing CSC firmware I will reset my device and will lose all apps and settings? How much of that will I be able to restore from a backup using SmartSwitch?

8. Do I need to remove the SIM when flashing the firmware? When do I insert the sim back? Will it be an issue if the SIM is from a different country than the CSC? I haven't seen any instructions for that matter.

Thank you in advance for your help. It will be much appreciated.

Felix.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] nunsislander:
Thank you, but before I attempt anything I would like to understand what I need to do in order to change CSC on my device and if that tool does what I need. It is my understanding that there are different ways to change CSC. Some firmwares support multiple CSCs and that seems to be the case with my current firmware. Unfortunately my current firmware does not have any UK CSCs. Those that are supported most probably do not support VoLTE. So the question remains if the tool that you advertise will do what I need.
