[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] O. D. S:
Hi guys,

I tried several monts to figure this out and tried advise i found but not succeed.

So i got sm-n971n and rooted with magisk but stock recovery etc.

5g is enabled on settings and tried to check all others setting too.

i also tried sim-card to another 5g phone and that phone successfully connected to 5g so the fault is on the phone. or firmware.

Tried to reset network settings, not helped, tried after and before updating firmware but 4g is only i got.

Latest firmware i tried is N971NKSU2HWD2 (KOO).

Can somebody help me to get 5g?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] ze7zez:
Or the fault is in the magisk :unsure:. Look for some volte/vowifi/5g plugin.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] O. D. S:
SOLVED. Latest firmware update finally solved problem and it connect 5g now!

Happy again
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] ze7zez:
Do you really believe that for almost 4 months the bug was in the firmware and no mention of it was in the changelog? I don't. It is more likely that KOO's firmware flashing removed what was corrupted by the modifications.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] vikramsinghxt:
Brother please help I have the same model SM-N971 koo but still I don't get 5G, also tell me which sim you used?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Questions & Answers] O. D. S:
I have used same sim-card for many years and fight many many hours for this 5g issue and right away when i flashed latest firmware 5g start working. Didn't do anything else. So for me it solved that. I am from finland and i have finnish operator simcard

How many of you would actually like to use AOSP instead of OneUI?

It's too early to share specific details, but I'll just say there is a stew being cooked (AOSP) somewhere by someone talented and it might see the light in the near future. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] ULTRA90:

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
GCAM outperforms stock camera anyway. Also, a possibility of porting stock camera is also there. So, your argument that it will be useless is pointless.

Anyways, it's not like people will be forced to use it. It's a "personal" choice anyway.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] RealMooni:
I would test it immediately 🔥
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jaseman:
Most of the time the factory installed OS is just fine for the last several years. Samsung is fairly good at what they do. I need my phone du jour to work as the vital communications tool that it was designed to be.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
I mean, OnePlus used to be a great OS maker too once long ago, yet people still used custom ROMs. Same goes for Pixel. Just check how much custom ROMs does a Pixel device has. ;)

[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] zSyntex:
Not really, most of the hardware of this device is based on OneUI features. Get an AOSP would disable them at the level where a cheaper device is the same.

I bought a Galaxy S23 Ultra to experience all the ecosystem and softwares from OneUI, but everyone could have other thoughts on it ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Fooking Rekt:
I love OneUI and it is one of the major reasons why I can't use non-Scamsung phones, so if a ROM isn't based on OneUI chances are I'll never try it, even if it increases battery life and performance.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
What exactly is the hardware that works on OneUI that can't work on AOSP if implemented? :unsure:

Even basic S-Pen functions are there on AOSP ROMs, for example on a GSI (still AOSP). And with further work, some stock-like functionality could be brought to it.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] pogi.paul0119:
Most AOSP devs doesn't work/build on latest flagships devices specially samsung because of the device cost.. that is one thing..
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] JohnTheFarm3r:
I agree that the device costs a "lot" and that the biggest issue is the warranty in some parts of the world when the KNOX is tripped, but that's not the case for every developer. As you can see, we have TWRP, and some stock-based custom ROMs. My own ROM is among them too (based on beta OneUI 6).

This isn't a "just or ifs" thread, a developer who I know from years back on different devices got himself an S23+ and is already working on the AOSP trees (I'm in contact with the dev).

The thread is just more about seeing how many are interested, and eventually even helping with "development" or even supporting the project once it sees light in the form of paying for a coffee or something.

The thread is alive only for 2 days, and I already see more interest in using AOSP than the ones that wanna stick with OneUI. The vote is speaking for itself anyway ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] luuxis:
I see what you mean but the advantage we have in developing the ROMs ourselves being able to add additional features or being able to deactivate functions

I myself am not a fan of the one ui interface, I prefer the AOSP interface.

well there is nothing that will prevent me from redeveloping the features that seem important to me for my use as soon as the roms are available
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] PrinceLc:

Hi have anyone notice your battery draing fast after the latest updates?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] lucian74:
No - opposde - night discharge even lower
[Sony Xperia 1 V] raysapphire23:
really how come mine is discharge faster in night before it was ok..
[Sony Xperia 1 V] glovesave:
I feel the battery life on my rather new Xperia 1 V is terrible. Battery usage tells me it's android system mostly. Have tried limited access or optimized, makes no difference.

I'm on 67.0.A.4.79 release-keys

Any ideas?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Robot76:
I'm getting good battery life... Sleeping my battery doesn't move at all... Not sure what tweak helped because I did lots of things...

Android System has never been a battery user on mine...

Hmmmm...

I'm on 67.0.A.4.79B release-keys, but I did get a firmware update two days ago with a larger firmware version number, but after reboot, the firmware number did not change... weird...
[Sony Xperia 1 V] raysapphire23:
It seems like firmware is a Japanese version???
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Robot76:
Yes, that's correct, for the DQ44...
[Sony Xperia 1 V] decomposed:
Same here, it tells me vast majority usage is Android system, like 30-40%. Phone overheats to 40 degrees even with stamina on, closed apps and doing nothing. I am on newer update and it it still same. Tried switch to LTE only instead of 5G or vice versa but it is still same. No difference.

And battery drains really fast.

I think this is my last xperia tbh... sony is very bad when it comes to software. Always problems, if not camera then fingerprint scanner, then os, and removing apps like Sony Album for so called "camera phone" is mistake and joke.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Robot76:
I don't have this... hmmm... I'll try and work out what my difference in my settings is from the default, and see if you can replicate it and see if this changes... I'm busy, so within a few days...

Android System here is just 3%

Fingerprint sensor is instant

There are literally hundreds of alternatives to Sony Album and Google Photos
[Sony Xperia 1 V] decomposed:
Thank you, I do not care alternatives, therefore, why other producers develop their own album app? If that's the case why in past sony was also developing many apps? In software department they no longer care. That's fact. Where others does.

Back to overheating and battery drain Android system in my case I just checked it takes 31% of overall usage and AccuBattery is showing 19.8% battery drain per hour when screen is on (wist stamina turned on) where in past 2 updates it was less than 10% per hour. 9.8% per hour it was when 120Hz was on.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] glovesave:
On the last two updates my battery usage is much better. Maybe it was because it was new and hadn't calibrated usage yet?

At any rate it ok/normal now and that is with 120 hz on the screen.

Do love the pictures it takes.

And I never had an issue with the fingerprint reader so maybe I'm just lucky on that front?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Robot76:
Sony phone division isn't very big, Samsung is 68x larger generally in every way (budget/revenue/staff/units). Samsing sold 300 million units in just a single quarter, and makes far more profit per unit 🤷 Album doesn't support burst mode, I guess it just couldn't keep up...

But camera apps is something Sony can do, and gives us 3 or 4 apps for that 😅😂
[Sony Xperia 1 V] decomposed:
Well profit per unit is not true.

In Android world sony is the company with highest profit per unit since years. You can google it. From software perspective sony had quite big (as per its size) division in Sweden but decided to close it. This was during sony ericsson times when sony had big sales in mobile. They decided to buy entire company (hence ericsson is no more part of it) and then ruin it. We saw what they did, actually didn't listen to the clients nad xperia fans and ruined the brand so that it almost died. Results we can see now. Still I have feeling thiey think they know better what people want. Shamesung has sales because it listens to client, spend more into marketing and deliver great software and hardware. For years it had better cameras than sony despite the fact sony had advanced camera division and experienced engineers there. Lol! If people wanted longer support shamesung is giving it, 3 years of major Android updates. Better warranty support and not just skipping it, better battery etc.

And yes, 3 or 4 apps for camera are not needed.

It should be 1 or max 2 (obe for taking pictures and second for video). You can hear it does not make any sense in almost every review. Tech reviewers are criticizing the fact of 15 camera apps but still sony thinks it knows better. Same for 21:9 that is too narrow.
[Sony Xperia 1 V] decomposed:
Back yo topic I think in some regional revisions the problem of overheating and draining battery may be the voltage. Could you please check yours and share here? Mine is all the time max or almost max no matter I am doing anything or not (with stamina on):
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Robot76:
In comparison with Samsung? not according to the financials.

Weighted average.

Samsung 2022: US$72 x 0.19 + US$13 x 0.54 + US$9 x 0.27 = US$23

Sony 2022: US$80 x 0.03 + US$8 x 0.97 = US$10

Sony Xperia phones generate highest unit profit in Android world | Xperia Blog

Sony Mobile has been in transition ever since it wrote-down huge losses in its mid-range portfolio back in Autumn 2014. The company’s strategic focus moved to profitability over scale, looking to support a smaller number of handsets primarily focused on

[Sony Xperia 1 V] decomposed:
I tried to "repair" the phone using xperia companion but the app is useless. Initially when I change the setting to transfer data it can see my device, later when I continue it just says device should be 50% charged, mine is 98%< but still Next button is disabled haha!

It allowed me to continue by selecting "it was not possible to find my device or smartwatch" but in such a case it would erase all the data which I do not want. In past it was possible to repair without erasing data.

What a garbage app...

Software is such a scam at sony :/

Back to question can you please post your voltage when idle and stamina on?
[Sony Xperia 1 V] Robot76:
That's very old, and Sony has not reached 3.5 million units, but up from 2021 to 2.9 million units in 2022.

Only the flagship models have made similar profit in comparison with Samsung, but makes a lot less in it's mid-range, but in the division's total, it's half as profitable next to Samsung.

Samsung has tax advantages, and in it's rise to power in it's early life, had enjoyed tax evasion for years which lead to the CEO's suicide.

*FYI the amounts previously mentioned do not represent true profit, but demonstrates that profit made is half of that compared with Samsung's profit whichever formula is used.

[OnePlus 6T  Questions & Answers] undesign:
I have an OP 6T 6Gb RAM version and after a reboot (I did it) simply enters in crash dump mode, no matter what I've tried (MSM tool, with Qualcomm cable, etc.). I have written many official versions from Android 9 to Android 11. The writing is successful (no error is displayed and at the next boot the Oneplus logo is displayed differently with different version), but still crash dumps.

I thought the motherboard is defective, so I've bought another phone, this time with 8 Gb RAM. I replaced the motherboard and it behaves the same! I also put the speaker board from the other phone and it still behaves the same (crash dump). If I let the 8 Gb board it its chassis, then this works flawless, so the 8 Gb board is running properly.

This might be a clue that actually the 6 Gb motherboard is not defective, but some other component. I would exclude the screen for the moment, because this one is still working.

The only other component left unchanged is the microphone board (lower-left side with open phone). Another symptom is that if I let the phone off, but with battery connected, this one is drain in a few days. Charging functions though with the phone off. In this case nothing is displayed on the screen, but again, the battery is charged.

Since now I sealed back the spare phone, does it make sense to buy a microphone board and test with it? It is the only component that is still left.

Please reply on topic only.

[General Questions and Answers] Mumblefratz:
I have something unusual happening with .nomedia files in some folders but no problem in other folders.

I use CX File Explorer as my primary file manager app and X-plore as my secondary file manager app along with a shortcut to the Files system storage app all of which are set to show hidden files.

I also use Simple Gallery Pro to access my photos which I have set to hide hidden files. Then I just add a .nomedia file to any folder that contains any system or app images that I don't want to view with my photos.

Sounds simple but when I added a .nomedia file to the DCIM folder it "disappeared" when viewed with any of my "show hidden files" file managers. However, when I tried to recopy a .nomedia file to the DCIM folder, Android says one already exists.

I'm thinking that what might be happening is that the original .nomedia file might have been saved as a .nomedia folder. This makes sense since my file manager apps have a setting to show hidden files but no setting to show hidden folders.

I found a post about "disappearing" .nomedia files that seems related to my problem but there was no solution.

Does anyone have an idea of what's going on?
[General Questions and Answers] Jatin Verma x821:
Hi! If your file manager doesn't show hidden folders, as you wrote in your post, then you may try solid file explorer. I made a .nomedia folder in it and I could see it there, and yes if I try to create a nomedia file then it warns me that a nomedia file is already present. Perhaps using this app might solve your issue.
[General Questions and Answers] Mumblefratz:
The apps I use do what I expect in most folders it's only a problem in certain folders like DCIM. I've tried solid file explorer in the past and I have issues that precludes it's use so the point is moot.

Actually after writing the above I went back and was able to both create and see hidden folders. The "show hidden files" setting does apply to both files and folders in all my file manager apps, it's a matter of the containing folder. What works in the Pictures folder dosen't work in the DCIM folder. I had no issue adding .nomedia files to the "Pictures" folder and sub folders but couldn't when I tried doing the same thing in the DCIM folder.

I was able to create a meaningless hidden files (.test) in a folder that has trouble with .nomedia files. I also had no problem creating a .nomedi file (missing a) so this issue isn't a problem with generic hidden files it's a problem specific to .nomedia files.

I also connected the Android to a PC via USB but the PC couldn't see .nomedia files in the DCIM folder either.

If I try to create a .nomedia file in one of the problem folders (in which I previously created a .nomedia file) it sayes "file already exists" even though I can't see it. Also even if the .nomedia does exist in the folder it doesn't hide image files as intended.

It's like Android simply doesn't allow you to hide image files in the DCIM directory.

If someone could try copying a .nomedia file into the DCIM folder and report the result then that would tell me if this is an Android issue or whether it's a problem with my specific device.
[General Questions and Answers] Jatin Verma x821:
Y

You're right! Previously I had tried making nomedia folder in dcim directory, but now when I tried to make a file, at first it was successful but I couldn't see any .nomedia file. Then I tried to make again and now I have the same issue as yours. I can still see all the photos in gallery. Also when I tried in other directories I was able to create a .nomedia file. So this is exactly like you said. Really interesting, would love to find out why this happens.
[General Questions and Answers] Mumblefratz:
I dug up an older device that had no problem creating .nomedia files in the same folders using the same file manager apps as on the device that has this problem.

The older device is a generic Chinese tablet (Meize) running Android 11 and the device that exhibits the problem is a Samsung Fold3 running Android 12. One noticeable difference is that on Android 11 the .nomedia file is a 0 byte file whereas in Android 12 the .nomedia file contains a single text line of the folders path in text.

The bottom line is that this is clearly not an issue that affects all Android devices and is possibly something unique to my Samsung Fold3.

I would still be interested in finding out if anyone can replicate this issue on another Android 12 device.
[General Questions and Answers] Jatin Verma x821:
I did replicate your issue on 2 device. One running android 12 and other running 13. And you're right about it containing the text.

I also remember that I used to add nomedia folders in my android 7-11 devices, but can't do in a12. So it could be possible that this started with android 12.
[General Questions and Answers] Fooking Rekt:
This seems to be a new Android (or Samsung) thing. I wanted to add .nomedia file to some folders to hide them from the gallery, but it is sadly seemingly impossible.
