If you are that concerned, perform a factory reset. This will wipe out all user installed apps. If the bootloader is locked, it is not possible for someone to install a hidden "system" app as this would trip image verification and prevent boot.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Lilacupcakes:
Factory reset won't lock the phone again?
[Samsung Galaxy S22] V0latyle:
No

If I were in your shoes, having had an MDM lock on the device at some point, I would unlock the bootloader if possible and use Odin to flash factory firmware, then re-lock the bootloader.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Village_Idiot:
Who put the MDM lock on it? Is it a company phone? Or is it a BYOD? MDM lock is used to manage company phones or BYODs that are accessing company/organization resources like cloud storage and email.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] William5565:
If your worried about spyware pretty much just factory reset the device as suggested above by V0latyle. From what I have seen rooting an android is usually harmless if you do it yourself but if done by someone else, they can install spyware or other malicious apps to mess with you on your device. Not something that you should worry about as that will give you anxiety but just something to be aware of. There was this girl I knew who had hacked her husband's android phone and she could not only spy on his device but also creepier stuff like activate the camera or check his location. She could see what passwords he was using too when he attempted to change his password thinking he had been hacked.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] Village_Idiot:
If it's an MDM lock, that won't work. The MDM lock application has to be uninstalled and the account removed.
[Samsung Galaxy S22] iBowToAndroid:
Uhhh, what? Unlocking the bootloader isn't required on any Samsung model, to flash official Samsung stock firmware
[Samsung Galaxy S22] V0latyle:
This is true. My mistake.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Taim7:
Hello XDA Developers community,

I've been digging around like crazy, but I just can't seem to find the app data on my rooted Android device. I've checked all the usual suspects, you know, like /storage/emulated/0/Android/data/, /data/data/, /sdcard/. No luck so far!

Device: S10 Android 12 Rooted Magsik

The app is a tarteel that lets you listen to audio book and download them for offline use. When I check the app in settings, I see that it is using the 3 GB that I downloaded in storage data, but I can't find where it is exactly.

Thanks a ton in advance for your time and expertise! Looking forward to your genius-level ideas and solutions!
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] rodken:
Apps are usually stored in /data/apps and their data in /data/data but on a non-rooted device you don't have full access to those locations.

Since you are rooted - you should have any issues.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Taim7:
I found the base.apk and other files, but not what I wanted, and it is only 101 MB, not 3 GB. I found only two folders in data/user/0/, but not the one related to the app I want.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] rodken:
You can access this location using a file manager app like My Files. However, you may not be able to see all of the app data, as some of it may be hidden. To view hidden files, you need to enable the "Show hidden files" option in My Files.

[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Taim7:
I don't use my files but rather zarchive, and I do have hidden files enabled. I'm not sure what you mean by data folder if you mean android/data, but when I enter it, it says "due to Android restrictions, the contents of this folder can only be viewed by Vomputer." I checked the permissions, and it is enabled, so I'm not sure why. But if you mean data in root, I can't figure out how to access root folders in my Files app.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] rodken:
In your original post you did not state whether or not you tried a root explorer.
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] Taim7:
my bad, any suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S10 Questions & Answers] starovdarkness:
Just thought i'd share this real quick... have trying to get access back to my app data folder so I can add custom texture packs to my dolphin Emulator games.

So I thought to myself, app permissions, hmm and went to my settings then to apps and searched for file which brought up the built in file manager from Samsung... I pressed the three dot menu up in the corner and chose to unnstall updates which reverted it back to factory default.

After doing that, I opened up my Mixplorer app and went to try and access my app data folder again and this time, when asked for permission to use folder, on the select folder part, the option to use the app data folder wasn't grayed out and it actually let me choose it.

It worked!! I finally am able to see the data folders in there once more.... ACCESS GRANTED!!!

Just need to uninstall updates for your built in file browser...

I'm on a note 10 plus but Samsung is Samsung so I figured I'd share it with others just in case it might work for them too.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cagali:
Please give me some advices.

I mainly want the feature to block video call / unwanted group chat invitation.

Coz in whatsapp there are so many ads / spam recently.

Thanks !!!!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richk98:
use someone version mod/edit of whatsapp versions usually contain scripts or holes for attackers and creators. so they can access certain dumps of the app, see your log, go further and monitor you. if you give them permissions among others.

they usually have trojans that use the application as a trojan horse to enter the system.

It's not like privacy should always be 100% because end-to-end encryption isn't a reliable guarantee after all. For normal people, it's fine.

if you're a person who takes care of things, moves things around, has data relevance, takes good care of known files, you're a developer, anything else.

Try other alternatives.

I like telegram much more.

I got a little off topic.

basically:

whatsapp all mods/versions = trojans, insects, spies, among others.

I don't recommend it unless you want to have fun and use it on a normal use device.

greetings!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cagali:
Thanks for your advice !

I have uninstalled it just now and installed Whatsapp from play store again.

Not sure if you can actually do it, at least not NSA 5G?

There's an app called "ForceLTE" which allows you to open these settings by tapping a button, then just select NR Only, however, at least on my experience, enabling this will just disable mobile data, at least, all mobile data except SA 5G (because I haven't tried it with SA 5G), but NSA 5G, 4G, 4G+, etc. will not work.

[XPERIA X1 General] big pimp:
Hi all,

I know that i can manage my sync times for hotmail by going

start>messaging>menu>options>hotmail>sync schedule

so i can basically only get my hotmail emails during the day, or when i want them, but there doesn't seem to be a similar option with outlooks direct push.

just wondering is it a possibility, or am i missing something simple?

many thanks
[XPERIA X1 General] Marcieking:
The reason why you can choose not to sync during the night with your hotmail is because you need to check periodically if there is new mail on hotmail, thus using the internet connection regularly.

Push mail works the other way around: whenever the server gets a message, it will contact your device and tell it that there's new mail.

I think that for stopping Pushmail from sending you mails at night you need to change a serverside setting, because it is the server that does the work.
[XPERIA X1 General] big pimp:
thank you very much for your help mate

i'm with you now!
[XPERIA X1 General] erichui:
You can set the schedule of your Exchange email by going to Programs > ActiveSync> Menu > Schedule

In Schedule you can set how often to sync for peak and off-peak times, so what you would probably want to do is set your off-peak times to "Manually" or "Every 4 hours" etc.

At the bottom of the page there is a link that directs you to the page of adjusting the Peak Times.

Hope this helps you.

Cheers
[XPERIA X1 General] artesea:
Sorry but that's wrong.

Hotmail is now pushed to WM6.1 phones when you use the Live Wizard to set it up. (Other webmail emails will need a 3rd party app).

If your Outlook is Exchange Push, then you should have the same settings for both.

[Sony Xperia 1 V] duck5345:
View attachment 5948119

I've already unlocked the bootloader and checked that it's OK.

I extracted init_boot.img with XperiFirm and Flashtool, and patched this .img file with Magisk. and I know Xperia 1 V uses fastbootd to install Magisk. But it won't flash with this error(value too large for defined data type).

I've searched for this error. I tried changing the USB cable, plugging it into a different port, and updating the Android SDK to the latest version, but none of these worked. Is there any way to resolve this error?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Hurt Copain:
Platform tools 34 is the issue. Use 33.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] AJHutchinson:
Install minimal adb & fastboot
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Hurt Copain:
No way that is absolutely poison and Should be removed everywhere it is shared. Platform tools is not anything that needs installed. Download, unzip, type cmd in the unzipped address bar. Use it. That's qll
[Sony Xperia 1 V] AJHutchinson:
Haha, easier to find if you forget where you unzipped platform tools 😂
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Hurt Copain:
don't lose track. ;)
[Sony Xperia 1 V] duck5345:
I used r33 and it still doesn't work.

To add to the description of my phone's current state: I purchased the XQ-DQ72(HK version). After unlocking the bootloader, I got a PIN setting error, so I recovered it with Xperia Companion to get back to factory settings. When I unlocked it again after recovery, there was no PIN error. But I got an error that Magisk could not be installed.

I tried to install ROMs from other countries via XperiFirm, but I couldn't because Flashtool doesn't support 1 V yet.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Hurt Copain:
I have the exact same model as you. You need to flash sea firmware via xperifrm and using newflasher. Then, after flashing do not setup a pin or any phone security...then unlock the bootloader. Now, you can set security..HK firmware/cn have a keystore issue which causes the problem you mentioned..after unlocking, you patch init_boot not boot. And then reboot to the bootloader, or power off, hold vol up and then plug in. Here you enter fastboot reboot fastboot update to boot to fastboot D which is the only part of the bootloader mode an init_boot can be flashed. Then fastboot flash init_boot patched_magisk_etc..I think you were flashing the init_boot incorrect or didn't unsin the file before patching. Unsin is another program you need to change the default Sony file type to a regular img version..good luck .

[Sony Xperia 1 V] duck5345:
Solved: I was unsin the boot.sin file, not the init_boot.sin file. I patched the correct file and it worked. Thanks for the help!
[Sony Xperia 1 V] metallic.steel:
Hello guys.

I'm having the same problem and couldn't solve my problem.

I get this message:

Remote: value too large for defined data type

(init_boot_a partition size: 8388608, init_boot_a image size: 100663296).

And another time I get this:

remote: no such file or directory.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] 3RR3R:
I had a similar problem, make sure you're in fastbootD with red lettering and make sure android platform tools are updated. That's what ended up working for me.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] metallic.steel:
I made sure of all of that but still didn't work. I've been trying for weeks now.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] issac770:
is there away to roll back using odin although it said no going back duo to security issue ?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Feardarks:
No. You cant go back
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigmaamit:
Unfortunately, there's no going back. This firmware updates the bootloader which is a one way road. It says so on the update notes before you press the install button.

Regrettably it's too late for anyone who has already updated.

Anyone who doesn't want this update should use adb app control to disable the update manager, otherwise Samsung will keep bugging you with a persistent notification egging you to update after a few days.

You can still choose to manually update to safe and well reviewed firmware at a later date using ODIN.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
As @enigmaamit already mentioned, its not possible to go back due to updated bootloader.

For the rest who have not updated yet, all I can say is stay away from this June update, it's a massive battery drainer.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ssj100:
There are many people (including myself) who have not noticed any significant difference in battery drain since the June update, so telling everyone to definitively to stay away from it may not be optimal advice.

I do agree that it's very disconcerting/frustrating that a significant number of people are reporting increased battery drain, and that no one seems to know exactly why. You'd hope Samsung themselves would know (at least soon), otherwise how would they fix it in a future update...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] EtherealRemnant:
I haven't had any issues with the June update.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] hand-filer:
The June update is fine. Give it a week to optimize before you condemn it. Or if you're too impatient for that, install Good Guardians and run Galaxy App booster to expedite the process.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
I gave it a week. And did check every nooks and crannies multiple times before making the drain statement. C'mon, the experience might vary from person to person for whatever reason, but after using Samsungs as main drivers for every single year, that was the least I could do before making such statement.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] pratik_193:
Even i am not facing any issue with June update and battery life. Looks like you are amongst the handful who are impacted. May be try factory reset the phone to kill your battery anxiety
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Virgo_Guy:
Looks like a lot of people are facing battery issues for sure post June update :

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS23Ultra/comments/14nezex
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] sklchan:
So the question here would be anyone from this thread that suspecting the update patch causing the battery drain have RESET their phone to verify the issue? because if not doing that then it's very hard to pin point the root cause unless you are very sure you didn't install anything else during the update patch. But I do think sometime the RESET phone really not a preferable choice for anyone as to think of need to redo all the customization done on the phone...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
After june update my battery just got better. I wiped cache in recovery menu after updating my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] aureum:
Most of this ppl are autosuggested by others... It is called placebo... Also after every single update there are post regarding battery drain... It was after April one, may, June and now there are first after July... Most of the time it is simple user error and 100 apps they got installed, many ppl write about battery 2 h after he update... It is like some kind of sport for ppl... Battery drain after every update.. It is mandatory... And it will be after August update too and after September also...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] enigmaamit:
I don't think there's anything wrong with someone sharing his or her experience. I'm sure the OP only wanted to warn others based on his experience with this update, as a somewhat altruistic endeavour. If someone doesn't care, they can just ignore the warning and proceed to update anyway. And those who have updated and don't have any issues can just say so.

But going beyond that, and flaming the OP, patronizing him and mocking him for not knowing how to maintain a phone or deal with updates is uncalled for.

This has started to sound more and more like an apple forum, where nobody is allowed to criticize the manufacturer and the burden of all error is thrust upon the user.

If your update experience is good, just say so, and add value to the thread. If it's bad, that too will help. But let's stop flaming and ridiculing our forum-mates just because we disagree with their experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ggrant3876:
I received the June update a week ago and my battery has been the opposite.........alot better!
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jocanunu:
The same thing happens to me, I think it has improved
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] NullZeroNull:
Great post and absolutely right!

People may experience different outcomes after an upgrade. We can't expect that 100% of the people will have the same outcomes.

There are so many things that can influence battery drain...
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Robatic:
This also helped me
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] _GRIZZLY_:
Exactly, agree too. I to add that s23u are very popular device on the world so appearing problems in someone users after update are normal. Of course a lot repeated of threads are warning
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] oVeRdOsE.:
the only difference Ive noticed on the June's update ; hotspot make the phone boiling, and before no.

I'm using hotspot almost everyday, since my car automatically enable it via a routine each time im driving.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mzsquared:
And so is mine, here is the first discharge run after the latest update. Granted, my phone wasn't heavily used, but it took more than 5 days to go down to 20%. Not happy though, with bad camera focus in some video takes.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] kpt_falkon:
You're probably just seeing some initial extra battery use from the system rebuilding it's app indexes and doing extra repotimizations on the fly.

If anything else, perhaps try a battery calibration reset procedure where you fully use the battery to empty, power it on and let it die again, and charge to full while leaving it charging for some extra hours.

I've noticed every phone should do a calibration reset one per year, even iPhone
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Klaudas:
There is no memory on new batteries. You just putting additional stress on the battery discharging it fully. There is no "reset".

Better do following steps:

1. You can wipe cache using recovery menu.

2. Uninstall apps you are not using.

3. Check what's working in the background.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mzsquared:
I have never followed any of those "save battery longevity" steps, some of them sound to me like a wishful voodoo, every phone I've previously used has always been charged to 100% and ran 'til 20~15%, sometimes even lower because a battery is a battery, that is a rechargeable component to store and supply an electrical current to power its device.

Our phones, as everyone knows don't last forever, become obsolete after 5-7 years, the most, and even if the capacity goes down to 70%, a 4 or 5Ah battery still does its job well.

Latest Galaxy phones design allow for relatively ez battery exchange when needed.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] kpt_falkon:
It's not about the battery physically, it's about drift in the Android internal self-generated battery stats reference files over time.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] mzsquared:
That leaves us users at the mercy of phone developers and designers, they are trying to ease our contention by adding phone apps so we'd think we have better control over battery usage like: "charge your battery to only 80% then put it back on charger at 20%...." wait, what?...you want me to totally reduce my battery to 60%? Ok, so after I paid for a 'big' 5Ah battery now my battery is only 3000mAh.

...and the whining: my SOT is sooo low.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] easyrider77:
Just thought I'd chime in.

I also have had no ill effects or bad battery with june , or even july updates at all. In fact mine may have gotten ever so slightly better, maybe by 25m - 30m sot gained. I definitely have not had any worse sot/battery with mine.

I did try out the 2x setting in camera, seems to work. As I don't use the camera but on very very very rare occasions, I can't tell you if anything is better or worse as far as camera goes
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Finn2024:
I've had very bad battery drain since June update - almost halved my battery life - need to now charge in the middle of the day - used to have to just charge over night.
