[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] nguyenlucky:
12GB might be useful if you keep the phone for 3-4 years. 8GB is plenty for normal usage, for now.

It also depends on how OEMs manage the RAM. On my old Find X2 Pro, most apps got nuked overnight, despite having 12GB of RAM. S23U has been much better at keeping apps open, despite also having 12GB and a bunch of S-pen services running in the background.

For my use case, I am already using over 10GB, due to a large number of social and work apps. I also never close apps from recent screen, unless they crash or have some misbehavior. I wish Samsung still makes 16GB version like S20 and S21 Ultra though.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] bluefish196:
So I came to this thread and I was seems the 8G version should be fine. Coming from a S22U, oh boy, I was wrong.

Basically, when I had the same apps open that I had back with my S22U with no issues.

Ram manager would simple start closing apps. Even with the Ram plus enabled at 8GB. I guess the virtual memory is not really the same as actual Ram.

So, I got the 12GB version and finally, it performed much like my S22 Ultra.

Remember, the S22U came with 12GB out of the box for all variants.

It socks Samsung is cutting costs with this, thinking people won't notice. The Best buy manager was telling me, he had two or three exchange a week of people who hated the S23 ultra base version. And he trained the mobile sales team to explain the issue when recommending the S23 ultra.

Many people might be fine, but having 3 GB Ram free, it was not good for my case and work load.

I guess, I learned the lesson, don't just trust the internet, numbers don't lie.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
RAM Plus isn't a "virtual RAM". It's a ZRAM. That's basically like a "virtual disk". Basically the apps that are opened but not used are being compressed into this place which is actually inside your actual RAM.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] sunking101:
The new S9 tablets have launched and the 512GB versions come with 12GB of RAM. So if tablets are now shipping with 12GB I most certainly want my phone to. Glad I got the 12GB version. My Note 10+ and Z Fold 4 had 12GB so I wasn't going to downgrade my RAM years later.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] yourtechmasterz:
"Your S23 Ultra upgrade sounds promising for better SOT and cool experience in Vegas heat. #YourTechMaster is interested in user feedback too, especially about the 8GB RAM performance!"
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
TABs are more multitasking/productivity oriented than a phone. It's expected that they would ship with more RAM compared to a phone, especially with multiwindow support and "native" DEX.

And 12Gb is nowadays a minimum for Android if one wants to have a semi-decent multitasking experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] sunking101:
Samsung tablets have always had significantly less RAM than their phones though. Last year's Tab S8 had 8GB and the S7 before it had 6GB. My Note 10 Plus had 12GB years ago.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Both S7 and S8 series had 12GB option and S8U had 16GB option. I own both S7+ and S8 Ultra. Not sure where is your 6 and 8Gb coming from (it wasn't limited to 6Gb or 8Gb)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] sunking101:
The base storage models of the S7 and S8 tablets had 6GB and 8GB of RAM respectively. The majority of people will have bought those base storage models. The Note 10 Plus phone had 12GB in all storage configurations. When the tablets all have MicroSD storage facilities it seems crazy that you only get more RAM if you buy more onboard storage. Most people won't do that when they have MicroSD storage on tap so they'll purchase the basic configurations.

I have the Tab S7 here with only 6GB of RAM and it multitasks like a champ. Flies too. I would say that tablets need less RAM than phones because there is less going on. Less processes.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
Well, it's a choice you make. I'm not discussing here the purchasing perspective. I'm talking about that tablets came and had a choice of 12Gb RAM.

Just because people bought 6Gb and such it ultimately doesn't mean the TAB was FINE for some heavy multitasking, because it wasn't. And the difference between TAB and a phone is minimal when it comes to RAM consumption.

Don't forget that all these devices also have ZRAM which basically is meant for those processes that are idling and they're being compressed inside the ZRAM (Actual RAM, but a virtual disk in it).

And if you use DEX and productivity apps on the TAB you notice that the apps are dying in the background due to a low amount of free RAM, hence why the option for 12Gb is there, and why even the 16GB option is there on S8 series and now the S9 series.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] darek5cro:
Any update on that thread? I am on S23 Ultra 8/256GB but feel like its not so smooth as S21 Ultra 12/256 I owned last.. I have option for trade. My phone + 100€ cash for S23 Ultra 12/512GB - (3 months old) - what are your opinions.about that? Will I notice any difference? Even longer battery life after debloat in compare with 8/256GB?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
You wouldn't see a difference between 8GB vs 12GB. Better multitasking but nothing more
[General Topics] SzymcioYa:
So, here is the story:

I have a rooted phone, which has IOS emojis and my sister wanted to have them too, but she really doesnt know anything about tech and all that stuff, so i told her that there is either root or zfont (an app that gives you other emojis without root access) and she wanted zfont, but she noticed that her wallpaper kept changing after around 20 mins. i tried cleaning the cache, cleaning app data, uninstalling, and all that stuff, but it didnt work. i used method 2 because she has a xiaomi phone, and that was the only method that worked. her phone is a redmi note 8 pro, and i would really appreciate it if yall would give help :3

Hi,

I was told that it should be possible to activate the missing "mute camera sound" option within the camera settings of a Galaxy S23 Ultra (SM-S918B) by editing CSC codes.

Can somebody please explain

- whether it is possible and

- how it is done?

Thanks a lot!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] TODI1111:
If you only want to set this (no camera sound when taking pictures), you don't need to change csc. Just do a routine. If the camera is on, the system sounds are 0.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] OnnoJ:
See the solution I noticed op S23+ forum:

https://xdaforums.com/t/disabling-camera-shutter-sound.4554339/post-88338699
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mbr10042:
The routines solution doesn't work for me.

I already tried, but it keeps the system sound on level 0 as long as the camera is not completely/really closed and still active in the background (after switching to home or another app, camera is still open within the list of previously used apps).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] DUTCH Van Atlanta:
In my S23 Ultra Camera Settings there is Shutter Sound On/Off switch. With it turned off, there is no sound; but there is vibration feedback, also with an On/Off switch, when the shutter activates.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mbr10042:
Possibly, you don't have a European S23U?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mbr10042:
Is there possibly any app outside there, which "does the trick"?

Up to now, I found "Camera Mute beta" on Google Play Store. But this one doesn't work on S23U (while it perfectly worked on my old Huawei).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] donkeyman1234:
After update to A14 ui6.0, the shutter sound toggle is gone. (Rooted phone with changed CSC)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] amagi12941516:
If you run this in adb and put it in silent mode, the shutter sound will disappear.

adb shell settings put system csc_pref_camera_forced_shuttersound_key 0

I worked on one ui 6 Japanese version S23 Ultra (SCG20).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Rakaan:
So mobile needs to be in the silent mode for the shutter sound to be silent?

I just got an S21 Ultra. It isn't rooted. It has been patched via CPID. Knox status is 0x0.

When I open Secure Folder, it shows the Welcome to Secure Folder screen. I press continue and it shows the permissions screen. I press continue and the next screen shows for half a second before closing and this message appearing at the bottom of the screen:

If this keeps happening, contact Customer Service.

I've already done everything I could think of. Wipe cache for all apps, wipe cache/data for Secure Folder, uninstall updates, disable. Nothing has worked so far.

Any solutions? I'm on the latest update (June 2023 Security Patch).

Phone model is G998U1.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] shadzz23:
Probably a long shot but have you tried to factory format
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TacoNikky:
Is your device brand new or demo device? If it's demo, secure folder and samsung pass doesn't work on demo devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] ASKnASK:
Yes, multiple times.

Not a demo devices. Its IMEI is changed using a method that doesn't trip knox or involve root. Knox status is 0x0.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] TacoNikky:
Same method is used to activate demo devices, it doesn't change knox status as well. IMEI change causes it then.

[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] zoraiz141:
hello, bro, i want to ask can you update/receive software updates on the cpid approve Samsung phone.

and also can you fash the phone with the official with ota through the computer by downloading the official firmware of the device will it affect cpid.
[Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra] razzleau:
Was yours a Live Demo Unit converted, or a retail phone with CPID done to it?

S21 LDUs (running retail firmware, not the demo one) are receiving new updates which change the Security and Privacy menu to the new format but then state a PIN or Fingerprint can't be added because it's in "Retail Mode/Demo Mode". I'm sure S22 and S23s are doing the same. There is a workaround for this,, there is another option in the menu that will allow you to add your fingerprint or PIN - but I don't have a phone in front of me right now to give exact instructions.

With CPID in general: if you set up Secure Folder before the CPID work is done it will continue to work until the phone is factory reset. No work around for Samsung Pass. You can Root your phone and use KnoxPatch to get everything other than Samsung Pay and Samsung Pass working:

GitHub - salvogiangri/KnoxPatch: LSPosed module to get Samsung apps/features working again in your rooted Galaxy device.

LSPosed module to get Samsung apps/features working again in your rooted Galaxy device. - salvogiangri/KnoxPatch

github.com

Yes you can receive OTA updates as normal without affecting CPID. Check which CSC your phone is running. (Settings > About > Software Information > Service Provider Software Version. Mine shows ending with XAA/XAA,XAA/XAA on my SM-S901U (North America S22). The last XAA in that sequence is the CSC. I am in Australia and using XAA I am receiving OTA updates. If your phone is a Live Demo Unit that has been patched it will be running WWD as the CSC which does not allow OTA updates.

To change your CSC quickly and easily, enable developer mode and USB debugging, install samsung android drivers and download SamFW tool from www.samfw.com. Models ending with U are North American and will have the ability to change to USA or Canadian CSCs, model numbers ending with B (ie: SM-G998B, S21 Ultra) or now E since the S22 series are Global devices and have basically every other country (other than phones ending with N which are Korean, or 0 which are Chinese - Japan have their own model numbers).

Here is a list of CSCs and which firmwares they belong to:

List of Samsung Galaxy CSC Country Specific Product code and region they belong to

List of CSC Country Specific code for Samsung Galaxy & various countries, regions, network carriers, model numbers, variants phone belong to.

Otherwise, you can flash the phone with any compatible firmware using Odin using the same methodology. If you are unsure, post a screenshot of your Software Information page and I can direct you.

Hello all,

My head unit failed to boot on the first start: I saw the Android splash screen for a few seconds, and then the device switched off.

What a dik move to make it available only for people you choose to.

We will see how long this topic will last before getting deleted for promoting cracked software.
[OnePlus 11] oppo_edl_hacker:
By your reply I assume you are not a developer. If making it available "only for people I choose to" means not Oppo, heck yeah. Of course I do not want them to study the vulnerability and patch it in future versions of DownloadTool.

By the way, I am not promoting "cracked software" as the software is untouched. I will provide the crack as a standalone solution, and developers will be able to use any genuine version of DownloadTool they want. My solution will simply allow developers to restore a device they bricked while testing their ROM or kernel without relying in Oppo/Realme authentication (because yes, any authentication works)

And if this topic gets deleted, I'll release the solution elsewhere. But that would be a sad outcome and a bad move from XDA by showing support for practices hostile to developers.
[OnePlus 11] cavist:
Youre posting this on XDA, saying "hey, I have it and you ont, if you want then msg me and maybe I will share it with you".
