The Samsung innovation failures is more pecking than I care to do right now. Simply making bloatware installable be a easy, simple, welcomed one.

$125 for a Sandisk Extreme 1tb V30 card. A 256gb internal memory is sufficient (even though Samsung sells "flagships" now with a mere 128gb and no expandable storage).

An external solution is vastly inferior to an onboard data drive for several reasons including convenience, reliability, accessibility and speed.

Someone who never set up dual drive systems has no clue how useful these are when implemented and used correctly. Including another level of data redundancy if the OS crashes or if the phone is physically damaged and for new phone setup. Using a dual drive is a no brainer.
[General Topics] TheMystic:
That's a good amount of money. For that price, you could get a 2TB SSD. Higher storage variants of micro SD card are very expensive.

Assuming you are talking about micro SD card, that's true but only for convenience.

On speeds, they are no comparison to portable SSDs, which by themselves are slower than internal storage. Accessibility is limited to the device they are on. SSDs are much more reliable too.

That would be an assumption. This is like me saying "someone who has never used a cloud service has no clue about how secure, convenient and useful they are".

We choose what works best for us. The best solution is one that fits into our requirements the best. And this is different for different individuals.

No one is disagreeing with this. The company takes decisions that would give them maximum revenue, not just today but going forward too. Removing features like this to push people into using the cloud is essentially an investment for future.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Samsung is charging far more than that for a 1tb phone and dozens of gbs of that memory is tied up.

Data drives don't need to be fast, duh.

SSD's are just flash memory... enterprise class hdds are more reliable (platters still readable most times even if hardware fails). If a flash drive fails electrically, it's DOA.

The point is having the choice. Secure cloud servers? You mean like Samsung's recently hacked ones?

Alienating your customer base is a surefire way to lose profits needlessly. Samsung's current management is deceptive, makes up bs stories and simply can't be trusted. Until they grow up they will face increasing consumer discontentment on a grassroots level.
[General Topics] TheMystic:
Internal storage is much faster and this premium is for that. Besides, the higher end models of any product are very profitable for all companies.

Dozens of GBs you're talking about is just a mathematical calculation of storage space. There is a discussion on this here.

I agree and I mentioned that in post #3 as well. SSDs have the advantage of being very compact and pocketable, HDDs are not.

I mean it would be more secure than any I can setup myself. This is true for most people too. Companies do tend to have qualified professionals to manage security and redundancies, so it is the lesser evil.

Most customers use the cloud storage. There are some services thay offer TBs of storage for free too, although I would personally never use those.

Cloud storage indeed have a very big advantage: ease of access anytime, anywhere and on any device! A reputed company like Google, Microsoft, Apple, etc. would have a very strong system in place to prevent catastrophe.

Since majority customers use cloud storage, and companies also find this more profitable, I don't see why they wouldn't want to take this route.

A lot of noise was made when they removed headphone jack, when charger was removed, etc. But the consumer accepted the reality and moved on. How many do you think will do what you do: an old phone running on an old software? Very few.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Critical data doesn't need fast storage. Typically at least 30gb are tied up with the OS and apps if not far more especially with scoped storage.

Hdds are used for bulletproof backups. One backup is not enough. I have a minimum of 4.

A data drive is a layer of physical security a single drive machine lacks. It's the first backup for the DCIM folder. It's where copies of all apps are stored; no Playstore needed for reloads or app repairs. The right vetted copy every time.

That's an assumption Google and Samsung like to push. A market other companies will eagerly capture for very little investment. Inept Samsung. The user defines the market not the vendor.

No internet, no nothing. I can watch hundreds of movies, play thousands of songs and do a full reload without the internet. The battery savings is worth it alone.

An assumption again. Users who have limited storage are forced to use the only option they got. Sucks to be weak.

Expandable storage is a completely different animal. A dual drive PC, smartphone, etc will always trump a single drive.

No 3.5mm jack means more wear and tear on the poorly placed and inconvenient (for headphones) C port. There's plenty of room in the huge, bulky cow, the S23U has room for both these features. What a horrible form factor it has. Please don't repeat the falsehoods Samsung's VIPs make.

Samsung is more hype than action now.
[General Topics] blackhawk:
Thicker, and 30gm heavier than the N10+ with a worse display/bezel ratio. Spen on the wrong side. blah. Small wonder the N10+ is still so popular.

With V60 and V90 rated flash cards out their speed is only increasing. There's no substitute for a dual drive device.

Just admit what Samsung won't; Samsung screwed up big time in multiple ways. Their tour of the hurt locker is going to cost them a lot. tff.

[Redmi Note 10S] Laezimir:
So I installed Netflix on my rooted device after changing device fingerprint and fixing safety net and hiding root using Zygisk + Shamiko (Enforce Disabled) + LSPosed + Hide My Applist + Universal Safetynet Fix. The app runs and logs in, but whenever I try playing ANY video it gives me an error "5.7.6" and says "There is a problem playing this video. Please try again". I am convinced this is a root issue as my sister has the exact same phone I have and it's working fine with her (She is not rooted). Does anyone have any idea what's going on?

I am using a Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S device, Running Android 11 + Custom ROM (LiteE 1.3) + MIUI 12.5

Note: I have done extensive modifications and gone out of my way to hide my root status. I edited the device fingerprint to a Samsung Galaxy S10 Plus and I now pass Safetynet perfectly and Netflix shows up in my Playstore, and I am able to install it and log in fine. My banking apps work, My device shows as certified in Playstore and I even have Widevine L1. So I don't understand why it won't let me play videos. (Screenshot attached)
[Redmi Note 10S] tutibreaker:
use stock firmware and done
[Redmi Note 10S] Laezimir:
Stock firmware = Oversharpened videos
[Redmi Note 10S] tutibreaker:
btw why that a lot of steps for enable safety net pass? dude you are doing everithing like 4 years ago, maybe that the problem, in xiaomi for safetyney you only need this magisk module, enable ziygik and delete play store cache
[Redmi Note 10S] Laezimir:
Oh that's what I did, but for some reason SNF only doesn't really work, My banking apps never worked until I did all the steps I mentioned.
[Redmi Note 10S] samey007:
have you tried this:

GitHub - Magisk-Modules-Repo/liboemcryptodisabler: liboemcryptodisabler

liboemcryptodisabler. Contribute to Magisk-Modules-Repo/liboemcryptodisabler development by creating an account on GitHub.

github.com

clear netflix data after installing

Warning ⚠️ (from readme.md)

A consequence of using this module is that Widevine DRM will fall back to using L3 instead of L1, which means that Netflix will not display content in HD or higher quality, regardless of your subscription type. Of course, without this module, Netflix will not play at all on a rooted device. If this is important to you, you will need to unroot your device.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] bobanm:
I recently got a s22 ultra sm-9080 and noticed that the main camera has a problem with auto focus.

It happens very often that the images are blurry on automatic focus. Manual focus usually corrects the image.

I didn't notice any problem when recording videos

Is this a software or hardware issue?

[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheMystic:
I don't have the problem.

Since it focuses correctly with manual focus, it is a software issue.

Snapdragon or Exynos?

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dg252:
On the Touchflo internet tab, m.yahoo.com appears immediately below the sphere and "Launch Browser" words which causes the browser to navigate to m.yahoo.com when pressing the sphere.

Is there any way to change the m.yahoo.com for a different address?

Also, MySpace appears above all of my bookmarks on the internet tab page. Is there a way to remove MySpace or add other websites?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] djcaston:
You should be able to change this if you open opera, click on the menu tab on the lower right, and click settings. There should be a start page option where you can change what page starts up when you start up opera.

Hope that helps.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dg252:
That does indeed change the start page for opera but clicking on the sphere above the words "Launch Browser" and m.yahoo.com causes Opera to open at m.yahoo.com and not at the designated start page. After doing this, I have to press the home key within Opera to get it to navigate to the desired start page.

There seems to be some form of yahoo tie-in that I would like to remove.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ITNV:
You can change what the default page by editing the InternetPortal-en-US.xml file located in the \Application Data\Manila\ folder. In the <Banner> section, edit the NavigateURL to whatever page you want it to open by default and change the Text to match.

e.g.

NavigateUrl="http://www.google.com/"

Text="Google"

If you remove the NavigateURL line completely, clicking on the globe will open your default Opera home page.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] dg252:
Great...but the file is read only and I cannot work out how to edit it or replace it or delete it so that I can replace it with an edited version. Any thoughts?
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] grafik2:
I have been askin the same question for a while now with minimal answers. I think I've learned that if you edit favorites within opera, it changes the favorites below the sphere on the TF3D tab.

I received this answer over at ATT forums..its not a step by step but it gives you an idea of where to go. It is relatively self evident if your not bad with computers once you open that file..if you get confused I can probabl walk you through it but I'm not the best either =]

---Originally, on the stock ATT rom with bloat installed I just opened total commander and went to \application data\manila\folder and edited InternetPortal-en-US.xml to tweak it (like change home page, add you tube link, etc.).

http://forums.wireless.att.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&thread.id=110312

good luck
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] ITNV:
Use Total Commander. It will let you remove the Read Only flag and then you can edit the file. (Probably a good idea to change it back to Read Only when you're done.)

[Touch Pro, Fuze General] techspy:
I am having the same issue, have found the file mentioned, but it isn't in the Manila folder (I don't have a Manila folder at all) its in the Windows folder. I am using Resco Explorer, changed the read only tick but it still won't let me change it. It says it is in Rom and can't be deleted. Also, when I open it with notepad, it just has 3 weired characters in it, not the string about yahoo.

I found I can overwrite the file, which I did with a blank one but it didn't make any difference.

To be clear, it launches to my default home page when "opening browser" from touch flo, but with the keyboard open in landscape mode, I select "web search" and it goes to the yahoo crap. Thats what I am trying to change.

Any suggestions?

I use Xiaomi sweet since mid-2022. I never used MIUI. Unlocked the bootloader, flashed vanilla ArrowOS 12L and rooted the whole thing. All worked flawlessly.

A few days ago I ordered a second device. Then learned about the touchscreen not working on some devices (TWRP and custom ROMs).

Researched and found this thread about the Xiaomi Sensor lottery.

https://xdaforums.com/t/xiaomi-sensor-lottery-the-ultimate-poll.4524979/

Today, I received the second handset and the touchscreen seems to be supported goodix_ts. Lucky here.

Unfortunately, the charger board is ln8000. The first phone has bq2597x-charger.

Is ln8000 troublesome?

Will I lose some functionality using custom ROMs?

Do I risk premature damage to the device or battery?

I need some more info as not sure if that is a deal breaker.

Any info, advice, or comment is appreciated.

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] thxjxs:
the "sweet_eea" specifies that the phone was specifically designed for the EU region. EEA stands for "European Economic Area" and the rom which comes pre-installed (i.e. MIUI) must comply with the EU regulations and standards, including some software abilities like being able to disable all ads found in pre-installed applications in one place (in the global variant, they must be individually disabled within each app). also its to be noted that the EEA variant has no beta variant (whereas the global variant does have that option) and gets less frequent updates on comparison.

the "sweet" if you haven't guesssed by now stands for the global variant...

as to if it matters while installing custom roms, that depends on if the hardware of the EEA variant and the global variant of the phonw are different in some aspect or the other. for example, i use the indian variant (sweetin) and it doesn't have an NFC option while it's present on the global variant, therefore i specifically have to look for roms built for "sweetin" and not "sweet" (althought it doesn't usually matter a lot with roms, you have to be careful when it comes to flashing custom kernels). as i'm not sure of the hardware differences between the eea and global variants, i'll let someone else reply that question, but yes thats the main difference between "sweet_eea" and "sweet"
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Fostel:
Thank you for this explanation!

The sweet was unavailable for a few months at Xiaomi UK but was available in Germany, France, and Holland at a cheaper price...

It may also be that they took some devices from mainland Europe shipped to the UK and flashed global on them.

The second device I've got shows sweet_eea but MIUI is Global. Also, the box was different, with no seals on it. It might be some dodgy practice by Xiaomi but I am kinda happy that I've got a goodix_ts equipped one.

Going to request unlock today.

They come all from same Manufactor iirc. Its about Hardware Sellout to get rid of old parts in my opinion.

I wont care as much, expect old/non Xi optimised TWRP arent "working", no?!
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] zelodev:
it's just the firmware flashed on it that's giving it the sweet eea name. to my knowledge there are no hardware differences between eea and global sweet.

I am currently in beta because I knew Straighttalk mvno would work. I can get out of beta by ignoring the update which will make me take on regular OTA updates but I am hesitant for fear of having connection issues.
