Was wondering if there are applications available that would allow you to transfer a current phone call to another number? For clarity - one could answer the call and then opt to transfer the caller to some other number. I am able to do this on my moto. L9.
[General Questions and Answers] egzthunder1:
I believe that is "called forwarding" and if you have that available from your carrier, then you don't need any special application. Just go to the settings in the phone menu and go to the tab Network services (or something like that).

Hope this helps...

Hi, I'd like to know what is a VBMETA first of all.

Then, what does this mean on the download mode screen?

Odin Mode (AVB Fail)

vbmeta: Error verifiying vbmeta image: invalid vbmeta header (6)

CUSTOM VBMETA

No VBMETA

VBMETA.

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] xXx yYy:
1.

The vbmeta image is a critical part of the Android boot process, and it is responsible for checking the integrity of other firmware images, such as the boot image and the recovery image.

2.

The error message "vbmeta: Error verifying vbmeta image: invalid vbmeta header (6)" means that there is an error with the vbmeta image that is being used. FYI: The header of vbmeta image is a small piece of data that contains information about the vbmeta image, such as its size and checksum. If the header is invalid, then the image is likely corrupt and cannot be used.

Helium 3+64GB variant here. Looks like the ROM currently has some problem that the SystemUI freezes randomly (only the SystemUI, other apps works fine; no Magisk or GAPPS installed), while everything else seems to work fine.

[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] gkey100:
@tarkzim To managing smart sim card like esim.me and 5ber.esim .

(the eSIM chip (eUICC) was embedded in a SIM card form factor and made compatible with mobile radio end devices using proprietary firmware)

I tried them with phone that doesn't have NFC and It was working with there apps.

Adding Secure Element interface for SIM cards (UICC) totally different than NFC .
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] gkey100:
I'm glad that you still supporting this phone (Helium - Max Prime) with latest os, I had tried it for little while and faced some issues at first,

@tarkzim I have a problem with the Mi Max Prime (helium). The device gets very hot and keeps rebooting because the SystemUI stops working. With Lineage 20.0, none of this or anything else happened to me, so it's not a hardware failure. Is there any solution.

I also have a question - is it possible to encrypt the phone somehow?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] octocatx:
Hey @tarkzim, been a long time fan of your work and appreciate you still supporting this device. Since LineageOS 20, I've faced issues with video playback. Videos don't play anymore, on YouTube, Instagram, and even on the web. Looks like others have faced similar issues. I've fallen back to the version with Android 12L for now. Can you look into this?
[Xiaomi Mi Max ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other D] tarkzim:
Yeah I'm aware of that, but still no luck on fixing it yet...

[Galaxy Tab 2 General] olidroid:
Just uncovered this Tab from storage and would like to put it to use as a smart home interface. It will do nothing else but sit on a wall either running the official Home Assistant app (Android 5.0 min), or a web browser if that reduces overheads and increases performance.

I carried out a factory reset but the stock ROM feels so slow and cumbersome, not sure if that's down to Samsung's bloatware or if it's just the age of this device.

I'm looking for advice on the smallest, quickest, and most stable ROM for this very simple use hoping that it may breathe some life back into this aging device.

Thank you

[General Questions and Answers] motivated girl:
I want my background app successfully run in samsung Ao5s without being stopped by the system.Can somebody tell me about this phone ,as m thinking to buy this phone.Do this phone allows background apps running if one enables all the permissions for it like do not optimize , autostart etc.? I have read somewhere if one lock an app in recent apps then it won't be cleared from phone or RAM memory .some phones do offer this feature by allowing u to tap on lock above the recent app tray .But i dont know about samsung a05s .
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
The lock in recent apps is primarily to prevent users from accidentally swiping them away or when using 'close all' button.

On Samsung phones, you can choose 'Unrestricted' under Batter Settings and the app won't be killed (except in unusual circumstances).
[General Questions and Answers] motivated girl:
U mean if i enable all the settings necessary to run that app in background on samsung like 'do not optimize', autostart, exclude from memory cleaning in the settings then it will run successfully ?
[General Questions and Answers] TheMystic:
There is no autostart option in Samsung's OneUI. In addition to the above 'Unrestricted' option, you can also add the app to the 'Excluded Apps' list in Device Care/ Memory.

I have done these to some of my apps, and I have not seen any being closed by the system. So this is all you need to keep an app running 24x7.

You don't need to root your phone to install a custom ROM. What you need is to unlock the bootloader and install a custom recovery.

About which ROM to install, you can try one of the most famous:

No, you don't need a custom recovery. You need the bootloader unlocked! The GSI ROM can be installed with fastboot. Try unlocking your bootloader first. So we can continue the process...

[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] senzafine123:
Hello all,

I am currently using the S21 ultra and i am debating whether i should update to S24 ultra or jump side and get an iPhone 15 pro max.

I have carefully reviewed all videos and comparisons online and i can see the camera is not on par with 15 pro max.

What are your thoughts on this ?

Thanks

Kle
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Jaxom84:
It will mostly depends on your budget, the offers you can benefit from (trade-in, coupons, etc.) and your OS preference.

If you like the Android ecosystem, the answer is quite obvious. If you don't bother changing, then it's a question of budget.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] TheMystic:
As someone who has been using an iPhone since 2016 and an Android since 2012, if I have choose one platform, it is an easy decision for me: Android. iOS is simply no match.

But that's based on my requirements. The versatility and ease of getting things done is very important to me. iOS can get on to my nerves pretty quickly in this regard.

From what I have seen in reviews, and unsurprisingly, iPhones still take the best videos on any phone. Photos are comparable, even if subjective.

So if you have never used an iPhone, and you are choosing one over the other, you'll quickly regret choosing iOS over Android, unless all your other gadgets are also from Apple, in which case you'll regret slowly, but regret nevertheless! :ROFLMAO:

Why not use both? The S21U still will be good for another 2 years or more.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] senzafine123:
Thanks a lot for the replies. i have already an iPad that I am using daily when I am chilling on the TV and also used in the past an iPhone 4s .

Mostly i was wondering if performance wise the iPhone is more durable and efficient and in general the real advantage of owing an iOS phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] TheMystic:
If software experience isn't too important to you, then either one will be a good fit. For a small section of users for whom smartphones are just a tool to get things done, iPhone is good enough.

Gaming, cameras (videos) and processor intensive tasks are done best on an iPhone.

For everything else, Android rules.

iPhone is NOT more durable and certainly NOT more efficient compared to Android phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Jaxom84:
Especially with the SD 8 Gen 3, Qualcomm seems to finally catch up to Apple (both manufactured by TSMC anyway, although I remember reading Apple's last SoC was using their 3nm node and Qualcomm's a 4nm node, but maybe I'm mis-remembering).

One thing I really liked on the S22U's Exynos 2200 was how performant it was with Vulkan, the Gamecube emulation through Dolphin was quite impressive, and with the results achieved with the Exynos 2400, I can't wait to see the Exynos 2500 (Samsung is rumored to use their latest 3nm node for it). But I'm drifting off-tracks, here. 😅
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] senzafine123:
Thanks a lot. I do use it mostly stills , video , games , some productivity stuff word excel power point and browsing ,
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] TheMystic:
I'm happy that hardware today has evolved to a point where it can handle anything that the software throws at it pretty well. Gone are the days when Android used to lag and was slow. OneUI today is still very heavy (just too many things going on), but given that the hardware handles everything well, I'm very happy with all the features that it provides.

Apple is a super arrogant company, that will not adopt anything the competitor does, no matter how much better it is than their own implementation, if at all. I particularly hate their media naming convention which names all photos and videos in a numerical sequence, instead of using the date and time as filename which Android does. There are quite a few things about iOS (including other Apple software) that are extremely annoying, which is why I'll easily pick Android over iOS today, if I have to pick just one.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] TheMystic:
For that kind of use, you can't go wrong with either. But the premium you pay for the iPhone will hardly give you anything in return. If that's not an issue, go ahead with whatever you like more today.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] Calm-Confidence-8654:

Maybe the first iteration of the cam in automode is not yet optimized but using the pro setting the s24U runs circels around the iphone.
