[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] peterg21:
I have more of a slight pitting effect on mine which happened earlier on, two very small pin prick dots along the bezel area. Not as clearly defined as yours and only noticeable when viewing at a certain angle. Fixed problem by using Sharpie oil-based paint market (more durable than the standard permanent marker).
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] HermesHidayat:
my old Samsung phone had this issue... problably caused by my sweaty fingers...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Sounds good. Can you share a link ?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] peterg21:
I purchased this from Amazon Canada but the Sharpie brand is essentially universal. The key element is the paint and being oil-based.

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Ipse_Tase:
Considering all the corner-cutting that Scamsung is doing lately and the astronomical prices they are asking, this might be my last Galaxy. I like it a lot, but I feel like a pigeon ready for plucking and I'm not okay with that.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Completely agree. Terrible to digest.

True. I feel the same.

Several times I thought it to be my last galaxy. But end up buying every single year for not getting a proper alternative. Next gen might come with Exynos, probably that will stop me from getting the next galaxy at last...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] sunking101:
Wasn't there a time when Exynos was the best option? Not the case these last few years for sure but once upon a time. Perhaps the next ones will be better than Snapdragon's offerings. I doubt it but it's possible.

As for cost-cutting I'm really not onboard with that at all. If the prices are going up and significantly so then I want no lessening in quality whatsoever! If finish starts to come off then I'll be angry because I baby my phones. The only signs (so far) on my S23 Ultra of cost-cutting are the cheap feeling S-Pen. The black plastic looks and feels cheap compared to the S-Pens I got in my Note phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ssj100:
It would indeed be surprising and unfortunate if sweat is causing the corrosion. You might observe a gradual worsening, with new corrosion spots likely appearing over time with use.

It's also peculiar that only devices in India seem to lack the plastic film. Is this a common issue reported by all purchasers in India?
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
QC is the culprit, I've experienced this before with some predecessors. Users' sweat can never be blamed, it shouldn't be a topic of discussion in the 1st place..

Don't know about "all purchsers", it's just that mine didnt have it+a few XDA's Indian members+Samsung members+some offline retailers (whole S23 series) "clarifed" that..
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ssj100:
Surveying whether the absence of plastic film correlates with lower QC levels could be an intriguing investigation.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Ok do so plz.

To give or not to give plastic film is their choice. Paying less attention to QC is not.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ssj100:
I wanted to highlight the possibility that the absence of plastic film on these shipped models correlates with poorer QC, but only for these specific models.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] HermesHidayat:
mine came with plastic films on all sides(no screen protector). my S23U is Made in Indonesia. no corrosion so far.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Update

:

Used white vinegar in warm water to rub the corroded part that removed the corrosion, that revealed paint peeled off part - smaller than the upper part.

These aren't earth shattering issues, but quite irritating as it highly questions quality control. Maybe over time it'll act up similarly in other parts of the frame as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I've had the same issue on my phantom black S21U. Then I came across multiple devices like the space gray MacBook, other dark color (coated) aluminium devices where the paint corrosion, chipping and scratches are way more visible on darker frames. The scratches / chipping exposes the lighter underlying aluminium and the stark contrast makes the chipping much more apparent. I had paint chipping on my iPhone 6S too but it was much less visible as the coating and underlying aluminium were of a similar color. After the S21U experience, i decided to go for a phone color with light (silver) frame, hence bought the cream color.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Tried sharpie and snowman oil based markers. Sadly none matches the paint color on the frame of Green S23U. Probably doesn't exist.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] peterg21:
I am really sorry it did not work out. I do not want to put any ideas in your head - well that is probably what I am doing now - but if you just google paint touch up pens you will find a vast array of sources, be it acrylic pens for car touch-ups etc. This is not something I would do online but would probably go to a good hardware store, show them your issue and ask them the best way to minimize your issue.

1st world issues🤣
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Fishawy:
I use about half of these, but Nfqttl severely affected my speeds so I removed it.

A couple of suggestions would be:

- Analytics Disabler

- Cool Tensor (if you need it)

- Iconify (I use it next to AOSP Mods)

- Magisk OverlaysFS

- Systemless Hosts (from within Magisk)

- SystemUI Bootloop Saver (in case you messed up)

- Themer

Idea One : Something that will allow me to completely customize the Notification Panel/QS Panel. Like maybe something to let me choose between the Android 11 panel and the 13 panel.
I know there are some mods that allow changing of icons/colors, or even make up completely new/custom ones (and i'd like to know what options I have for that too).

Best I can think of is combining all 3: AOSP Mods + Iconify + Themer.

Idea Three : Something that allows me to completely and easily (granted i'm no stranger to tediously doing ****) achieve a standard of privacy without completely losing the convenience of the google suite. Be this a permissions manager, a "vpn" that blocks google traffic, or some custom versions of the google suite apps.

I use NextDNS. Same speeds of CloudFlare, with complete control over privacy and security. Live logs, whitelist domains, blacklist domains, blocklists, CNAME, block page, the whole shebang.

You can either do DoT in the Android Private DNS settings, or DoH using their app which creates a VPN.

Idea Four : Something that will let me properly set a new "Home" app, the stock pixel launcher is mad annoying and lacks the ability for any significant modifications, tho I do like the stability of it. I always end up using Nova Prime.

Nova Prime all the way (make sure you disable all the Branch analytics crap within the settings). Been using it for years and years, Pixel Launcher is a Neanderthal next to it.

Idea Five There is an mod called "QuickStep" but from what I have gathered it ONLY works with Lawnchair, and I haven't been able to find anything that does the same thing or better.

I don't need it with Nova. Gestures work perfectly.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kai2150:
If that's the case I'll def be removing that, but if you don't mind me asking what exactly does it fix or do???

These are most appreciated, and while I am going to use it Themer is a bit annoying, on first boot it is a pain in the ass cause it take a minute or two to apply all the tweaks, during which you can't use the phone. Is this just a one off fk up on my part and if it's a typical behavior is there a way to either minimise this, or even get rid of it all together. Or crap maybe another tweak or module that during boot allows the phone to set up before you can even unlock the device...

For the Analytics Disabler, I have the same questions as what I said in the NextDNS quote.

(I will look up stuff on my own, but sometimes it's faster to ask questions before spending the next couple of hours researching the **** outta somethin)

Ah ok, is there any additional setup necessary, does it have a default block list, maybe even a "auto" detecting list? I'd imagine it does need configuration on a per app basis but I figured id ask, if it doesn't have any "auto" detecting lists, or even a default list that cast's a large net, is there any good documentation on what should/could be blocked and or config files?

(I will look up stuff on my own, but sometimes it's faster to ask questions before spending the next couple of hours researching the **** outta somethin)

Oh? I thought you lost some "smoothness" or "stability" when using a non-native launcher?

(After doing a quick google, apparently v8 fixed this?? Correct me if im wrong)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Fishawy:
Claims to fix TTL (Time to live). I'm sure it's good, I just had a bad experience.

I use Themer to change the brightness slider design amongst other things. Most of the visual tweaks are by AOSP Mods or Iconify.

Analytics Disabler, I tested it and have no issues. Maybe you can ask the dev in the correspondent thread for more details.

Just create an account, setup your profile etc, then forget.

Here's an excellent guide for it.

Good catch, didn't even notice, I didn't even know themer had a paid version lol
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Fishawy:
Wow, I completely missed that! Just shared the link from Play Store and didn't think twice.

Thanks for keeping us in check 😄
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
Just a note, CoolTensor completely destroyed charging every time I used it (others reported the same), it was like charging my KitKat phone over USB 1.1...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kai2150:
Yeah, I'd like to avoid losing my 30m charging time, I've been thinking about using STRP, it has a bunch of profile and a "cooling" option but idk if its any good. Other than that do you have any suggestions?

Atm I don't NEED anything that helps cooling but it is summer and temps around here easily get 90+ degrees, and with a car that doesn't have AC my 7 Pro overheats pretty fast, if I don't have it covered up completely, and even sometimes that's not enough to the point where it turns off the fking cell service anttenas and I have to restart the phone to get them to turn back on...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
Yeah that's a tough one. Especially in the car during summer. Try to mount it on the air vents perhaps?

A14b4 seems to run a bit cooler btw.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] weriwd:
Please do give some feedback if you test this STRP module. :)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kai2150:
I don't have ac so.... that wouldn't help, honestly probably would make it worse
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kai2150:
I plan on using it, tho, I am not sure what exactly you'd like me to test and report back on... STRP + Performance has ALOT of tweak and I do mean alot...
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] orolon:
Good morning friend, I just bought a pixel 7 pro and I would like to root it but I have doubts if I lose the L1 certification to see content in HDR, full HD in video applications.

Help me by commenting if you lose L1 certification with root
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kai2150:
I will look into this for ya, I am currently doing a full reset of my main PC, so you will have to wait a bit for me to get setup and check. Unless someone else here already knows off the top of their head
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] orolon:
You can check on your pixel 7 pro with root by installing this app DMR info
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kai2150:
View attachment 5963907View attachment 5963909Looks like everything is good, I'm currently root and everything is showing up just fine 😄 👌
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
May or may not help, but running both a custom rom (EvoX) and root, I too have L1 maintained
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Could look into flashing Kiri kernel. Dev also (above 1st post) has a poll to who's interested in development of the kernel with 'summer' mode, for enhanced cooling. Dev has implemented a LOT of effort and tweaks into this kernel (even without the summer mode, yet). For me, on EvoX, I've had no issues and battery life has improved over Evo stock kernel. If you plan on flashing it to CR, do search the CR thread for issues and or compatibility and also, do read the first few posts on how to flash the kernel. It requires disabling of verity and verification before flashing an accompanying magisk module prior to flashing the kernel. For me, EvoX has verity and verification disabled by default.

If you're thinking of trying Kiri and you want to check the status of verity etc, flash this module and run CMDs in terminal emulator as per this post.

Another app (requires root) that is useful for optimising battery is RunInBackgroundSetter see here.

The app is old, but still works well. Go through your apps and stop unimportant ones from running in the background. It does make a difference (for me at least, I guess it depends which apps you have that could be power hungry in the background). App here

Hope it helps on your quest!!!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kai2150:
Thank you for the info, I will def look into Kiri, ive been thinking a kernal might help. However Idk what version of Evo I tried but when I did try one it was REALLLLLY laggy, then again I didn't give it a ton of time to "settle in", I def think a CR is the way to go, I am open to suggestions (I am also looking through the development section rn to find something cool)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] krakout:
+1 for the app @reg66 suggested. I installed it a few days ago and though I don't have hard data for daily use, I do think there's a difference. I have hard data for night (non) use, from 1,5%/hour it fell to 0.8% 🙂
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
I'm only really going by idle percentage drop reported by FKM (Franco Kernel Manager). I have constant visual stats from it on battery consumption...

It's actually kinda high right now and has only just come off charge (I only charge to 85% to preseve the life of the battery), but it has about halved since using the app - like your overnight results. Today it was idling around the 1.5% per hour out and about.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
That's what I'm gonna do with mine. Putting it on the Dash is asking for overheating
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] bobnot:
I didn't lose L1. I also set up all my apps before installing magisk boot image.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] weriwd:
I'm mostly interested in lowering the heat during the summer days. Additionally, I'm looking to decrease the idle battery drain %%. That's why I installed the RunInBackgroundPermissionSetter app that you mentioned a few comments back.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
Is it working?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
If Viper is something you struggle with like many do, have you seen this? Looks like a good add to your list

[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kai2150:
I will check this out as well, I wouldn't say I struggle with installing persay... I would say I struggle with utilizing it and other programs/apps similarly. I use the Samsung Buds 2 right now as my main headphones for my phone, and the audio quality is pretty good as it is, but I couldn't find any presets for them and I don't know what to touch and not touch to do it myself.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] HipKat:
That's what I meant. V4A is pretty confusing if you don't know the terms and settings. Heck, I don't.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kai2150:
One more thing I am looking for

I am looking for a really clean way to manage notifications, Like a way to hide them but not "disable" them.

Maybe a way to categorize them into custom sections (sections like "silent" and normal notifications, but custom, like say "Socials" or "Banking" and then each of these sections could have custom filters and ****.

I know there are filtering apps already I was wanting something for the notification panel itself
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kai2150:
Yo, if you're online, I have a quick question. Are you running Kiri on EvoX? If so was there any issues you ran into?
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] reg66:
Correct, running kiri on EvoX. No issues at all, battery improved a little. Go for it!
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kai2150:
Already did, spent last 4 hours setting it up, tho for some reason Themer isnt applying properly... I can't figure out why, I know Evo has their own customization settings and Ive done what i can with those but....
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] insestito:
You need CleanSlate kernel for better battery ;)
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] Kai2150:
I am using Kiri + STRP atm gonna use these for the next month or so then switch to another for about another month, then ill decide.
[Google Pixel 7 Pro] insestito:
For me kirisakura makes overheating my pixel when i charge It and when i use GPS... This is because i changed to CleanSlate. At the moment works very well and Phone overheats 0%.

I'm going to test fully the battery stats with accubattery and with this results i chose the final kernel fot P7.

At the moment the 3 Bests for me are: radioactive, CleanSlate and kirisakura

Hard Drive: 320 GB Samsung

Yesterday I started my system as usual. But It won't display any thing & beeps (Short/Normal) 4x4 times with both fans (CPU & System) run at full speed then I forcefully shut it down with power button (Long press), Furthermore today I tried many times it does same thing (As mentioned above) one time & then second time it works as usual, but even second time fans (CPU & System) still runs at full speed. I have also searched on the internet before posting this thread, it probably indicates an issue with RAM, but I test both of RAM(s) with my neighbor's computer, it works very well & also checked my system with neighbor's RAM(s), I didn't understand that if I plug in the computer it runs well but fans work at full speed one time, but another time it starts beeping as said before. My processor's heatsink was already cleaned due to low dust area & HDD health/sector check gave me a clear report. Due to this type of malfunctionality I reflash the same version of BIOS (latest) (As available on official site), but none works.

Kindly help me out ASAP, as I'm a student & needed to complete my assignments shortly.

I have gotten a Pixel 3 recently from Ali Express. The phone itself is in splendid condition, and takes any sim card (SIM unlocked), but the OEM Unlock just stays greyed out no matter what (I did several factory resets already). This seems to be a problem plaguing certain US devices (e.g. those from Verizon), but according to the paid IMEI check I did on the device this is an EU Unlocked phone:

Did anyone else run into this problem ever? I explicitly got this phone to get custom ROMs on it, given how outdated the stock firmware is by now, so it is pretty useless like this. :(
