[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] extropian:
I followed the LOS instructions, device booted and then immediately crashes and displays Qualcomm Crashdump Mode. After several reboots with the same issue, I booted into recovery and did a factory reset. It looks like the touch screen doesn't work at all. Apparently, you're supposed to download the latest OxygenOS firmware via the OxygenUpdater app prior to following the LOS 20 instructions.

I've tried downgrading to 19.1 so that I can use the OxygenUpdater, but apparently downgrading is not allowed.

Any suggestions on either downgrading to 19.1 or getting 20 working properly?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] CmdrCrichton:
To be fair when you look at the 19.1 -> 20 upgrade instructions, it does tell you that you need to upgrade to the latest firmware.

You should be able to upgrade the firmware following the guide on the wiki and if need be reflash the 20 install zip.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] extropian:
Aww, you're correct. I didn't carefully read through those messages - I thought that notice was to confirm the device was updated to the latest version of 19.1 prior to the 20 upgrade.

According to the wiki, I need download the latest Android 12 stock firmware via the Oxygen Updater app. However, my device won't actually boot into a functioning OS to do so. Any suggestions on how to obtain the Android 12 fw? I've found a oneplus thread but it only provides a fw link to rollback to Android 11.

[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] extropian:
Much appreciated. I downloaded the firmware and extracted the stock rom with payload-dumper-go, then flashed the images per the instructions. I then re-sideloaded the LineageOS 20 rom, rebooted, and now I'm good to go. Touch screen works great and I haven't experienced any Qualcomm Crashdumps. Thanks ipilcher and CmdrCrichton for the help.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] extropian:
It sounds like you did what I did and skipped updating the firmware prior to updating to LineageOS 20.

Download the firmware here:

https://android.googleapis.com/packages/ota-api/package/6be3f133f8fb9bbcc30d787679bd7b5da5e30995.zip

Then follow these steps: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/dre/fw_update

I then sideloaded LineageOS 20 again, but I'm not sure if that step was necessary.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Link575:
So I updated from 19.1 following instruction on Lineage OS site and everything is up and running. Few issues though: network connectivity is hit or miss, sd card no long works and the screen blacking out that was present in 19.1 is still present.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] extropian:
I'm also experiencing the issue with the SD card, at least it's not visible via the Files (documentsui) app. Haven't had an issues with network connectivity thus far.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] axolotly:
I'm also not seeing my SD card show up. Windows picks it up just fine, but my phone doesn't even recognize that anything is in there.

Thanku so much bro i fixed that issue of lineage OS 20 ................
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] mastmakerjones:
This update is not meant for DE2118 (T-Mobile version) converted to DE2117, is it?

I have tried it twice so far, converting to DE2117 Android 11, updating all the way to April update and installing Lineageos. SDCard doesn't work and I can't make calls out of the phone either directly or via Google Voice.

Should I wait for wiser heads to come up with a proper way to install it on converted T-Mobile device?
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Userproo:
hello i have installed the lineage os 20 but i am facing only one bug now. in this bug my mobile data is disconnecting by its own. You have any fix for this ? Thanku.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] Tyreethetruth:
Can I just install this over stock A12 but an older firmware and just follow instructions? Or do I have to downgrade to A11 still? I have been having trouble downgrading on DE118
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] lzgmc:
You're supposed to install Lineage 20 on top of the latest version of OxygenOS 12, not 11.
[OnePlus Nord N200 5G] mastmakerjones:
I did. What I meant was: I installed Android 11 (for DE2117), took all the updates, including Android 12 FULL update, and the Android 12 April (incremental) update before installing Lineage 20.

Hello Guys .. I have REALME GT NEO 3 150W Version.

I purchased this device mainly for gaming but im little disapointed because :

when i Play Pubg New State in a cold environnment my phone runs it perfectly at 90FPS.. but when my phone temperature reaches 38°C which is normal i think... the phone limits the game to 60FPS .. and it becomes laggy sometimes .. any fix for this!!

EDIT : I found a temporary solution is to disable Battery system App by ADB..

But I'd love to see if there is maybe a better solution for that thank you or an update fix.. thanks ♥

[Realme GT Neo 3] HomiRuim:
If you have root (Magisk, Zygisk and LSPosed), you can download LuckyTool, it's a feature unlock app for ColorOS/OxygenOS devices, i tested and used it on my GT Neo 3 80W, download and install it and in the Battery Section, there is a option to disable Thermal Throttling for HDR, Games, and the Frame Plus, i play Genshin Impact and before the 90Fps interpolation option kept on for only 10 minutes after the device reached 40°, but after turning on this option and rebooting my phone, i can play for like 1 hour continuosly with the 90 Fps option turned on.
[Realme GT Neo 3] @Jinx:
You saved my life thanks man! one question though, what happens when I reboot my device while the battery app on my realme is disabled?

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Connorsdad:
Hi folks,

I've managed to stumble my way through using pixel flasher to update my P7Pro to the latest fw with root. Only need root so I can record calls, should I lock the bootloader now I'm done?

Also how do I update in future please without having to wipe, use pixel flasher and patch as I've just done?

I like to think I'm quite tech savvy but the guides for the P7Pro have gone over my head :/
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Lughnasadh:
Not unless you want to brick your device. You need to be completely stock before relocking your bootloader (unless using avbroot, but you should have a deep understanding about how it works beforehand).

Pixel Flasher will work fine for updating.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
Huh, learn something new every day I guess...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Connorsdad:
Awesome, thanks a lot for your reply, much appreciated.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] alecxs:
never ever* lock bootloader on google devices. fastboot only works on unlocked bootloader and there is no alternative to fastboot.

* exception
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] xunholyx:
And you can't flash a factory image to fix a phone on your own when it's soft bricked. It might have to go to a shop for repairs.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] simplepinoi177:
AFAIK, relocking the bootloader requires wiping the device -- much like unlocking does -- and if you're unwilling to set everything (including anything on your /sdcard internal storage, not to mention all apps and their settings & system settings) back up from scratch (as any good complete backups require root access), this might not be what you wish to do.

And, if you had managed to successfully relock the bootloader, you could simply run the in-system update (OTA) that would update without wiping -- or even manually applying OTA from the recovery.

But there are hardly any benefits in re-locking the bootloader (after unlocking it) -- even if one was to a paranoid degree of security; which is the only major reason to (I can point you to the discussions that had taken place on it here, if you wish). If you don't want to run into any issues, you could simply run the stock ROM without root and be hardly impacted by it; with the added benefit of having the option to advanced recovery options and/or rooting options open to you in the future if need be...

*it just occurs to me you meant to never lock bootloader because it limits options; not the risk of hard-bricking the device -- in which I wrote the following with that assumption. I'll leave the following comment as it is still sound advice, but I apologize in advanced that it doesn't quite relate to what you meant...

I mean, I feel doing Google's official Android Flash Tool is a safe enough method; it wouldn't do well if Google's own tool bricked their devices using their tool...at the very least the tool ensures that the stock factory firmware flashed matches the bootloader version and automates the fastboot commands so when re-locking the bootloader, it has the least potential to brick the device...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] alecxs:
Exactly. there is no official flash tool from google, that's why I personally won't recommend to keep bootloader locked. If it's bricked with no working recovery mode, not even repair shop can fix it. all you can do is RMA to google get new device. no edl mode or anything else will help, fastboot is the official flashing method.

If you're referring to the "Android Flash Tool" that's no flash tool at all. I haven't tested it, but to me it looks like a WebUSB browser plugin. Reading the requirements it works with adb commands, usb-debugging and fully booted android is required. Therefore cannot unbrick devices.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] iRhyiku:
Doesn't unlocking the bootloader break saftynet so then you have to root to use gpay?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Trippyy Doee:
I'll just chime in here because I have recently unlocked my bootloader but I haven't been able to root it yet and I haven't had any issues with safety net.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] iRhyiku:
Interesting, I thought unlocking would break it. I'll have to unlock then for the extra safty!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] alecxs:
That's of course another aspect. Good point. If you rely on SafetyNet or it's successor Play integrity, do not unlock bootloader. AFAIR the latter one can't be cheated.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] TheMystic:
There are some benefits like some banking apps, streaming apps and games beginning to work. So it really depends on what is important for the user. I don't like flashing random mods to make apps work on rooted/ bootloader unlocked devices, primarily banking apps.

[Samsung Galaxy S23] chetszot:
Dears,

As some of you might already know, most of S23 and S23+ units, besides bad camera software, very bad photo quality because of the software, have also defective main camera lens. I noticed the issue after my testing period of this crap device expired and I am not able to return it anymore. I have taken few dozens of shots recently with GCam and this defect is too prominent to ignore, not mentioning the inability to shot documents, notes, invoices, etc.

The problem is well described here: https://www.sammobile.com/news/galaxy-s23-camera-hardware-issue/

Thing is that in many countries (mine included), Samsung is trying to make people dumb, explaining this issue by a "feature" of big sensors, which is - of course - a bull****.

Samsung in Italy has reportedly acknowledged the issue and is slowly admitting that there is a hardware defect they are willing to repair: https://www.hdblog.it/smartphone/articoli/n568223/galaxy-s23-foto-problema/

Has any of you tried to make Samsung Service replace the faulty sensor? Have the service in your country been trying to tell you the bull**** about the lens characteristics and refuse the repair?
[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
Looks like it's optical; the lense has an odd blur pattern...

All lens have blurring ie lense blur chart. It varies throughout the image. Its preferable the image is the sharpest at the center. More blur tends to happen towards the outer areas and preferably in an even pattern rather than specific spots.

This blur seems excessive though. A lense defect is what it looks like to me.

The sensor needs to be perfectly flat otherwise areas will be out of focus. If this is the case it's a gross QC oversight.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] chetszot:
Yes, it is optical, it is a defect.

Thing is that Samsung employees are telling the bull**** and insist that's a natural bokeh caused by sensor size and they refuse repair. This is sick and that's why I wonder if this is country-specific trick to try making customers dumb or Samsung strategy for the problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
Bokeh? Do they even know what that is?

I be ripping them to shreds...
[Samsung Galaxy S23] jopaxxx:
I feel cheated paid more than 900 euro for a device, because I decided to buy of the best flagships. I could as well kept using Poco F3 with Gcam. The other day spend like 10 minutes trying to capture photo of a sick leave document to send to my employer, it was always blurry in the top left corner, so I learned that I should click focus top left corner and worked. Everyone should speak up about this problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] chetszot:
I have successfully contacted my local Samsung Service.

They "have heard" something about the faulty lens and they offered a repair, but this repair would take over 2 weeks, because local services are not yet allowed to perform any service operations on S23 series. This is about to be changed late May and this is when I will try to contact them again to have my lens replaced. Hopefully for a working one.

Bad news is that the employee I was talking with was not certain if the replacement camera units they have will be free of the issue xD

I just can't believe this crap has ever been released.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] xDontStarve:
Has this been fixed yet? Just bought a 256GB S23, kinda sad to see this in the forum right when I spend 800€ on it :cry:
[Samsung Galaxy S23] ulxerker:
I also bought the S23 256GB version when it got released and I don't have that problem on any pic I take. So it seems that not all units are effected.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] goTouch:
It happens when I take picture of pages. But taking normal pictures it doesn't bother me.

Anyway, it is big drawback of this phone. Samsung silent just confirms that the problem exists.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Racpu_:
My S23+ is the same, we have to push and show everyone interested in the S23 that they have problems and that Samsung does not admit, it is completely frustrating for a device of this price and to have worse camera performance than my S10e.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Fl1nt91:
News?

Samsung finally confirms blurry S23, S23 Plus cameras, says a fix is coming

Samsung has confirmed a so-called banana blur issue affecting Galaxy S23 and S23 Plus cameras, adding that a fix is coming.

www.androidauthority.com
[Samsung Galaxy S23] xDontStarve:
Test the camera using the main lens shooting a document, look for a curved blurry path, mine has it
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Me Gusta:
With Samsung claiming it's a software thing, everyone will have it. Some people are just more sensitive to noticing it.

I have it as well, but in all honestly, I never barely ever make a picture of something closer than 50cm away.

All other pictures look perfectly fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
I think it's hardware. Either the sensor or lense.

If so will Sammy try to cover it up with AI?

Time will tell, test revision with a random printed document...

Either way Samsung has gone overboard with their AI enhancement bs.

Another reason this 5002 mAh phone gets poor SOT in spite of its more efficient ram and what should be a more efficient SOC.

That also means a warmer running device that will run hot in ambient 100°F temperatures.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] Me Gusta:
Yeah I do feel like Samsung is trying to play off the camera issues as a software thing. I'm doubtful it is as well.

Furthermore, the battery life of the S23 is great. I'm not sure what you're talking about here. The Snapdragon gen2 performs great, and quite frankly, I barely ever have to charge it before going to bed.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] blackhawk:
Specifically if the S23U is optimized what kind of SOT can it get?

My N10+ with a new battery (4100-4300 mAh) will get a 11-13 hrs SOT. Browsing with Brave uses about 6% @hr total with display brightness around 27-30%*.

With the larger 5002 mAh battery I would expect to see 14-16 hrs SOT if running nonstop if optimized similarly with 5G off and display fixed at 60hz.

Most (any?) aren't seeing this. Worse Samsung's removal of expandable storage will force many to use cloud storage which uses a lot of battery. Instead of becoming more efficient Samsung just keeps putting in bigger batteries. 4300 mAh was about as large as you want go otherwise the phone gets thicker and worse heavier. These are already hard hitting devices when dropped, that extra 30gm hurts. Samsung's solution? Give it more bezel😖 The N10+ still has the best display to bezel ratio after almost 4 years. wtf Samsung?

Google Android didn't help any either by fully implementing cpu cycle sucking scoped storage.

Any gains Google made in efficiency elsewhere is wiped out by scoped storage. That also forced Samsung to add dozens of new small system apps to try to preserve UI functionality and appearance. What a mess.

*Optimized: wifi disabled but internet and phone always on.

Tap on AOD. Playstore, Google backup Transport and Framework disabled. Google play Services normally temporarily disabled. All global power management disabled. All carrier, app, Google and Samsung feedback disabled. And little bixby is so disabled.
[Samsung Galaxy S23] airjoe:
I used Xperia 5 II before taking a document from main camera (24mm F1.7), the outer words always blur (can say MUST blur). But no problem if use zoom lens (70mm F2.4) but need to pull out my device from object, then the whole page are clear. I think this is the nature of main camera (cannot take an object too close).

Not only documents, when I took pictures of a dish of food, the food at the center was clear, but the edge of dish and out side were blur. So if I want entire picture clear, I usually use 70mm lens. This will look a bit strange when I took picture in restaurant.

This is my experience of using Xperia device. I am not sure about other device except I am currently using S23 coming the same issue. Therefore, I don't think it is len defect, it is how you use a smartphone to take suitable photos.

Hello. I need some help i bought this Hikity Android 10.1 head unit back in March. it worked great for the first few weeks but now it had been locking up right after start up and has basically become a paper weight. i can reset the unit with the button and a paper clip but it will get stuck in boot and freeze until i shut the car off and restart the radio. I'm at a loss because the seller wont get back to me and i cant find anything online to help fix the issue. Here is the spec of the radio if that helps. i had to factory reset it so it would work long enough for me to get a pic of the info i needed and then it froze. really hope i didn't completely waste money on it. any help would be great.

Suppose I have rooted my phone and my Knox gets tripped then what if I flash the brand new official firmware then will everything be normal?

Once knox is tripped it's gone forever
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] Deleted member 12454859:
What if i flash a brand new official firmware?
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] filjusz:
Knox will be tripped like before, some functions may not work.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] immortalwon:
There is a LSposed module supposedly for knox features, never tried it though.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] roirraW "edor" ehT:
I haven't tried it yet, either. https://github.com/BlackMesa123/KnoxPatch

No matter what, of course (for the OP), Knox will be permanently tripped, and there's no way to untrip it.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] verszipo:
So, the KNOX status is stored in an "efuse" (electronic fuse), once tripped it cannot be reset, the only way to "fix it" is to replace the entire motherboard, not worth the cost.

You can of course put back a native/oficial firmware, most things will work, but anything that is using the KNOX flag will fail.

From what i remember this are a few of the things that will not work anymore :

- samsung health

- samsung payment

- secure folder

- possibly the dual account support (work/personal) won't work, never used it so not sure

If you don't use those then it's not an issue to have the flag.

You can also use an xpose/lsposed module to hide the knox status, but there's no guarantee that it works or that a firmware update won't make that module fail in the future.

Also, i had a banking app (from a romanian bank) that didn't work with tripped knox, but they did give an update that fixed it so as long as the phone was not rooted the bank app worked without issues (this was about 5-6 years ago on a Note 3)

If you really need to use an app that checks the Knox status, the easisest/cheapest would be to get a second hand phone (with the flag still intact) and sell this one, you'll loose some money but it will be cheaper than replacing the entire motherboard ;)
