I recommend not updating to the March patch

since the vinary changes to 4

and in February it is still in binary 3

This will make it possible to return to android 12 and 11.

from 5.1 no longer open more system updates.

what binary are you on?

Samsung repair center charged me 50% the price of a new phone to "fix" the problem.

I'll take a hammer and destroy the phone on the counter, not gonna pay.

I checked in my gallery and I took photos 2 hours before the update. After the update and phone restarts, camera was dead.

Anyone have a video of a drop/scratch test for the Raphael. I accidently dropped by phone about 5 feet today on the street while the qwerty was out. I thought for sure it was going to split in two but it didn't! Actaully barely a scratch.. the plastic casing is amazing. Just curious if anyone has tested it against keys/dropping/blenders.. lol.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I run two stock N10+'s, a N975U and a N975U1.

Running on Android 9* and 10 respectively. Neither have had their firmware upgraded. I use Package Disabler to block about 70-80 apks and settings are heavily optimized. Both run fast, stable and fullfill their mission with almost no issues and little maintenance. Excellent SOT and standby time.

Both are compatible with AT&T and as such there are no reception issues. You check and verify this before you purchase. Slam the sim card in and they're good to go. Once optimized and running well, don't upgrade firmware or update apps and it will run fine for years. Don't do the above and you will need to find work arounds... if they exist.

Current load on this N10+ will be 3yo this June. No malware during that time. Still looks, feels and runs like new. Only repair has been a battery. After a steep learning curve I'm very pleased with these devices. They are still a joy to use. However I can't say the same for the proceeding Samsung flagships and will never own one of them for a litany of reasons*.

Samsung phones with/in this SOC/generation can run well in capable hands, stock, if used as described.

*has last Android 9 firmware update

**lol, don't get me started
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] thefish123:
This kind of proves my point. I am not saying there isn't a way to get your Samsung phone running the way you want it. I am saying that the hoops we have to jump through and the tradeoffs we have to make are unacceptable.

Why do you have to use Package Disabler to block about 70-80 apks?!?! Why should you have to block *any* APKs at all?

Why do you have to stick with old, outdated firmware? Why do you have to make this tradeoff? Why do we have to have a hostile relationship with Samsung?

Why can't we have a nice phone, no bloatware, no junk, no apps we don't want. Get updates for a reasonable amount of time (i.e. till the hardware no longer supports it)?

Sure. And I knew ahead of time when I purchased the Global S10+ (the SM-G975F) that it didn't support all the same LTE bands as the Canadian model (the SM-G975W). But again, I had to make tradeoffs because I wanted to run LineageOS. Again, why do we have to choose between two crummy options?!?! Where are the good options?!?

I am daring to imagine a world where this is better. Really, we used to have phones locked to service providers and 5-year contracts. Those were the bad old days. But these days right now (with the bloatware, etc.) are also not great. It reminds me of the Windows XP era of PCs where you would buy a new PC and be prompted to sign up for 100 different services upon initial bootup. Only difference then was you could re-install the operating system on your PC and free yourself from the OEM bloatware. But now, with phones, they make even that impossible with locked bootloaders.

Basically, if I could unlock the bootloader of a Canadian SM-G975W that would be ideal. Any why isn't it like that anyway?!?! Isn't that the way it should be to begin with?

Locked bootloaders with no option to unlock should be illegal.

[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
I'm a pragmatist, I use what works.

It's only blocking what I consider bloatware. 10 or 15 of those apks are apps I installed but chose to kept disabled 99% of the time.

It's your choice to upgrade and there's no reason to upgrade if the firmware is fulfilling its mission if you're running Android 9 or higher. If you lack wherewithal you pay a price...

Updates and upgrades aren't needed on an optimized device that's running well. New phones with the newest firmware are running like crap in case you didn't notice. Very little speed increase in most routine activities and horrible SOT on most.

Well you knew there be connectivity issues and that should have flagged it. Custom roms have custom problems with a limited user/support base.

It's not that bad if you shop smart. I bought out my AT&T N10+ at 2 years. It's almost identical to my carrier unlocked variant. I want the boot loader locked for security. No way I'm touching the firmware as these are premium flagships that run extremely well as is. I have very little to gain and lots to lose... including time.

You buy Samsung flagships for the premium hardware and then work within the framework that's available and what works best for you. You can root the Exynos variants but their hardware is almost always inferior to the Snaps. Consequences.

At this point both Samsung and Android newest products are so out of line that they are unusable to me. I don't care what they do, screw them. I'm in a holding pattern for 3+ more years happily using my N10+'s... I don't care. All my issues are worked out because I threw time at them to do so and I'm very satisfied with the outcome.

In 3+ years I will reevaluate the situation and decide what to do. Right now as things stand I don't reccomend any new Samsung's or anything Android version above Android 10. Unfortunately I have no easy solutions for you other than what I did. Even that isn't simple fix but it's a zero risk fix. I refuse to risk damaging these N10+'s by mucking with their firmware unless its needed for repair.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] thefish123:
The reason I purchased this specific model was so that I could run a custom ROM. But the connectivity issues are not caused by the custom rom. They are caused by the fact that I am using a phone designed for a different market where different LTE bands are used.

And yes, I knew that ahead of time. And I am not regretting that. But you are missing the point. The radio in my phone is perfectly capable of using the LTE bands that my carrier uses. So why shouldn't there be a straightforward way to enable them?

What if I used to live in Europe and moved to Canada? Should I be forced to buy a new phone just because Samsung doesn't let me change LTE bands? Or if I travel between Europe and Canada on business then I just have to suffer with crummy reception?

My point is one of ownership, property rights.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Connectivity is paramount. Regardless of what your user rights should be, you need to work within the limits of the options available. The square peg round hole thing...

You may be able to enable those bands and that's probably where you should be directing your energy. I purposely try to avoid having to do that as much as possible and never had to. You dove down the rabbit hole, hopefully it's not too deep. Try looking at the hidden phone user settings first... I guess.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] thefish123:
Yes, I agree. Being a phone is the most important thing that a phone does. And I am directing my energies in that direction as well. But in the process, it occures to me that a messed-up antagonistic anti-customer ecosystem this whole thing is. We would *never* accept this from a computer company, a car manufacturer, or a home builder. Yet, for some reason, we accept it from phone makers like Samsung and that we need to work within these [artificially imposed] limits.

Anyway, yes, there used to be a hidden phone menu (why hidden?) that would have let me enable the bands that I need. But Samsung removed it sometime last year with an update. Again, why?!?!

I'll keep looking. I'm sure I will figure out something in time inspite of Samsung, not because of them.

The Fish
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
What OS version are you on?

The band selections are probably still there although means of access may have changed.

My knowledge in this area is very limited. The sim card always configured it perfectly for me.

Best to check with your carrier to be sure that phone model is on their white list.

You could try seeing if someone help you from your carrier tech support...sometimes you get lucky if you try enough.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers] thefish123:
I am running LineageOS 19.1.

The band selection app is categorically *not* there anymore because it A) it was part of the Samsung firmware and B) even if I was on Samsung firmware it wouldn't be there anymore either because Samsung removed it.

There used to be a tool you could download that would allow you to access the "hidden" band selection app. But it stopped working because Samsung removed the hidden app altogeather. Like I said in my original post on this thread "Oh, there are tricks… download this tool or that… but some don’t work anymore because of update XYZ…"

My point is that the whole nonsense of disabled bands and locked bootloaders is infuriating. I is like buying a computer that can only access the internet at full speed in Europe and if you fly to Canada and use it there you get penalized with 1/2 speed. Oh, and even through you could change it with the flip of a switch that switch is buried, disabled, hidden behind locked doors.

The Google Pixel 7 Pro has

all

the bands turned on (i.e. there is one phone for the whole world) and the boot loader is unlocked. Just saying...

At some point I will probably prevail in getting the bands I need turned on. And then I will likely be very happy with this phone for the next 5+ years. But none of that changes the fact that this anti-consumer predatory behavior on the part of Samsung is unacceptable.

LinenageOS is a stable OS, but Evolution X has a better android feel with way more customizations.
[OnePlus 8T Questions & Answers] urover:
I was on T-Mo OOS. I converted to EU OOS and then upgraded to A13.

Then tried Lineage and Evolution-X.

On both ROMs dual SIMs work - calls work and outgoing SMS seems to work sometimes.

Both SIMs have same IMEI number.

However, SMS does NOT work. If I remove one of the SIM cards and wait for a few minutes, then SMS starts to work once again.

Any ideas what's the issue?

I did not try SMS while on EU OOS so I can't confirm if it works on OOS.

Hi Team, I Need help with unbricking my device. I'm in a panic state. I had already unblocked my bootloader and downgraded to Oxygen OS 11.3 via MtkClient.

For some weird reason it stuck to bootloader animation and I flashed ROM files again via MTKClient, but it was still on the bootloader screen. Then I thought of flashing preloader files from the backup preloader files I saved before via MTKclient. Now it seems like I have bricked my device. Nothing is showing up.

This is my first post on this forum, Please help me out.

Thanks and apologies for breaking any forum rules.
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] thecreat0rnew:
It seems to be not charging ( I can't tell if it's charging when I'm using my regular charge adapter) and now it's not even showing up on MTKClient.

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] thecreat0rnew:
PS: I also have backups of all partitions including the bootloader in a separate folder created via MTKClient. I hope the device is recoverable given its bootloader is unlocked but I'm worried that It's now not detected in MTKclient not sure if the charge is depleted and charming a device is not possible without valid bootloader???

Yeah, obviously

Can you flash other backup of oos 11.3 and unlock the bootloader?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] thecreat0rnew:
Again, I can but MTKclient doesn't detect my device anymore after pressing Volume +- Plus I don't thin flashing other partition backup would solve the issue cause all of this started to occur as I flashed preloader from the backup files
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Kabbutino:
Can you send the log of mtkclient?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] thecreat0rnew:
There is nothing showing up on logs as well. Is it possible due to empty battery it's unable to go into bootrom mode? Below is the logs I was getting after flashing preloader and trying to launch MTKclient. View attachment 5878273
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Kabbutino:

Why do you flash preloader?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Kabbutino:
And which os do you use?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] thecreat0rnew:
Oxygen OS 11.3, I thought the preloader is the issue where I was stuck in boot animation. I think the mobile was not charged enough and hence it got corrupted.

Is there any way to charge the device now?
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] Kabbutino:
Do you see the bootanimation of oneplus and the unlock bootloader message
[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] thecreat0rnew:
As of now, nothing is showing up. It's just a black screen.

[OnePlus Nord 2 5G] rohit4989:
No empty battery is not the problem and in my case i have been in your situation more than twice and everytime i had to go to the svc because the correct files for flashing our nord 2 device dont exist or the mtkclient might be the problem because a guy on youtube just flashed his mtk 1200 device heres the link -

with the miflashtool and also once the corrupt preloader is flashed then there is no other way to unbrick the device other than going to the svc for now. If you find a solution to this problem then make sure you post it here and help others like me.

I hope this is the right sub-forum, it doesn't look like it has one for all of the sub-models of this phone.

It's the austin_g with the mt6833 chipset, the 4gb/64gb version, not the 6gb/256gb version. All of the other hardware is the same, I think.

I don't know if I'm supposed to post links. Wikipedia says 512gb. It says only the Stylus has 1tb, but it doesn't show the 4gb/64gb version. The MetroPCS page says 1tb. But the REVVL 6, which uses the same chipset, supports 2tb external storage.

Another camera app which can use all the cameras is Open Camera. It is more convenient than FreeDCam, has almost all the same features and even more, for example HDR and panoramas, but unfortunately, like FreeDCam, cannot shoot video from extra cameras out of the box. I tried to edit the settings file manually but it didn't help as it did with FreeDCam, I suppose there should be something else fixed in the app itself, but still I'm going to try again editing the settings in the future.
[Samsung Galaxy A32 4G] Captain_cookie_200:
I used it before. i actually got the cameras to work once. i dont know how. I ditched freedcam for it. But idk maybe after i switched roms or an update they broke again? i think if you look in info it says Only 2 cameras present. Our limited camera2api only shows 2 cameras. While freedcam forces to use the camera no matter what.

I may be wrong i saw something abt this somewhere.

Maybe downgrading to an older apk might help. But i sadly dont have enough time for that

I also recommend using No-frills CPU Control CLASSIC to lower the min CPU frequency to 500 MHz and set govenor to "shedutil" (if it's not already).
