[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] albert0pia:
Greetings, everyone.

I recently installed One UI 6 via Odin, while preserving data, as I couldn't wait for the update to hit my phone. Everything is going alright except for one thing - battery usage details. I am having a hard time understanding the new reporting system. Currently, I am at 97%. Battery usage is reported as 51% and screen on time is 3h 11m. In One UI 5, SOT stats would reset after fully charging the phone (or when you hit the 85% battery charge limit).

I want to be able to compare battery consumption when running One UI 6 versus 5. I don't know if this is working as intended or if something is amiss. I was hoping someone could provide some insight. I would very much like to avoid factory-resetting as my multi-factor authenticator app would be severely affected.

Thank you in anticipation.
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] sergioslk:
Same here, looks like it has been modified, you can use gsam for now
[Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra] TheMystic:
Samsung has removed the Screen-On-Time since Last Full Charge in OneUI 6. I don't know why Google, Samsung, and others are following Apple on this (just like in several other useless things).

There is something about these large corporates that I'm yet to understand. They deliberately remove useful features which are high in demand and replace them (if at all) with useless stuff (such the Screen Time Today or Screen Time in the last 24 hours in this case).

You don't have to factory reset for this. That feature has been removed.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
Android 14 has restrictions for older apps, they can't install.

But I've searched for a solution in case of I've got a barely needed old app.

If you take an apk editor and edit Manifest target sdk to 31 and save the edited app, you can install.

There's also an adb command but I've didn't managed to install via this methods.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sheist!:
Which apk editor app do you use? I've used an apk signer app to avoid upgrade prompts to versions that remove features.

This might be the adb command you mentioned. https://www.makeuseof.com/downgrade-android-app-with-adb/
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] pnin:
I have quite a few of those, so any info highly appreciated... 😎

And how does one avoid signature misalignment in that case?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
Apk editor 4.2 creates signed apk
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
Apk editor 4.2

Your link is not for installing old apk, it's to downgrade an apk version. Isn't it?
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sheist!:
Haven't run it myself yet, but saw this:

"the newer version of an app might no longer be compatible with your Android version, so you have to get the older version to make it work."

and

"you can sideload an older version of the app by installing the APK, but that way, you'd lose your data and settings."

Your file explorer might be why you can't install it from your microSD. I recall that issue started in 2022, perhaps A13. Some of them get around that limitation, though.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sheist!:
Try this instead:

Download and install your old Android app:

Run the following command in your terminal/command line window:

adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block FILENAME.apk

[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
Yes, this I've tried but without success

Only apk editor has done the trick for my app
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] pnin:
Care to share the app id string? Google is finding several different versions, so I'm unsure which one you're recommending...
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sheist!:
And the company name, too; not seeing any 4.2 version, but searching on that thing is typically a horrible response of choices.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
Google apk editor pro 4.2 and you'll find some legal downloads. Warning: if you find illegal apk and install, it may harm your device and it's illegal....
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] PavelBronco:
Bumping the target API in the manifest disables various compatibility behaviours in the OS, which can still cause the app to stop properly working. So be mindful of that and prefer using the --bypass-low-target-sdk-block flag if you can get it to work.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sheist!:
Which steps exactly? A Manifest edit of AndroidManifest.xml, the targetSdkVersion field? My targetSdkVersion shows 10. Tried 31 (from 10) then 14, even tried 34 to android versionCode (from 31) but same install failures after it saves edited app. The only difference is it gives a bigger warning (with an "install anyway" prompt) and a 2nd warning prompt where can press "Don't Send", but still gives the "compatible" error. All failures to install.

However, I can install them successfully using the adb install command. (i.e. "Performing Streamed Install", "Success") So far, no failures this way.

adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block APKNAME.apk
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
Pls share the apk

I'll try....
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sheist!:
Fine, but you may not conceal the steps from me. :D If you agree, then it is attached.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sheist!:
Here is the Apk Editor apk, but it is only my best guess this is a legal one.
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Laptapper:
It seems like not all old apps could be taken with only editing the Manifest. Sorry, I can't help further
[Redmi Note 10 Pro] Sheist!:
OK. Just so I am clear the step that worked for your app, you made a "Manifest edit" of AndroidManifest.xml using the Apk Editor Pro app, modifying only the targetSdkVersion value to 31, then saving and installing it manually, or did you attempt installing it from within the Apk Editor app? (which is what I did)

RE: "If you take an apk editor and edit Manifest target sdk to 31 and save the edited app, you can install."
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Akokki1:
Hi to all. Can not find anything online, so came here hoping someone can shed some light. S23 Ultra bought in the US fully unlocked - works perfectly in Europe. However, when I travel say to Greece from Cyprus, and try to call a number in Cyprus the phone does not ask which country code to add (00357 for Cyprus) - my old S9 used to do that. Searched high and low and saw there should be an option in Call Settings, Other Call Settings, Roaming Assistance. Mine only shows Hide Contacts..... Swipe to call.... Hearing Aid..... Checked other Samsung phones and the Roaming Assistance option is there.

Could it be missing/different because I bought it in the US? Is there another way to have the phone automatically add the country code when calling from abroad?

Thank you all very much - apologies if it has been asked before.

Andreas
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] jcsww:
Usuly o er here in the US. Dialing overseas number from a mobile, we use + (country code) (city or state code), and the number.
[Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra] Akokki1:
Thank you very much for your time. I do realize that I could (and did do that) add the country code when dialing a number but this implies I would need to know the contact number by heart, input the country code and then the number manually (Is there a way to automatically add the country code to a contact????). My issue is that with my old S9 when, for example, trying to call a Cyprus contact when in Greece I would be asked by the phone what country code to add - the origin country or the roaming country. So it was very easy to call any contact from the contacts list - now I need to remember the number and dial it manually. My other question is how come other Samsung phones (S23 as well) have that option in the menu but the US bought one does not. Do I need to change any country settings? Apologies for the worded post but I am kinda at a loss as to why this happens. In all other aspects, the phone works beautifully.

Thank you

For me it was a fresh install, I tried many times without understanding what I was doing wrong, until I have read about szimi57 and decided to try with the Jan 2024 release, which worked.

Btw, screenshare is not working so if you want you can add it in the issues section.

[Touch HD General] tomasn:
I usually use the zoom slider in Opera to adjust the zoom level slightly for a certain site such as this forum. As soon as I click a link the new page opens in maximum zoomed out mode however.

Is there some way that I can lock the zoom level so to say so that it will stay the same when I browse around on a certain site (or always)?
[Touch HD General] CorruptedSanity:
Good one, bump.
[Touch HD General] darkheroz:
re

hi,

try to find solution in opera config mode. just open opera browser, type in address bar: opera:config

u will see config mode.

happy holidays
[Touch HD General] tomasn:
I know about opera config mode and have not found any setting there that can accomplish this. The only thing I can set from there is the "Minimum Overview Zoom" which will affect the default first zoom level for all pages I visit.

What I want to do is zoom in slightly using the zoom slider when on certain sites and then "lock" that zoom level while still on the same site. An ideal solution would be if you could have some configuration file where you could specify the "Minimum Overview Zoom" per domain you visit.

Very good would also be if Opera provided some kind of API for their browser. Then this and other similar issues would be easily fixed by the community.

You should never change your IMEI. Can't help you on this one.

Hi there, that's nice to know you can change the IMEI of S23U. Would love to hear it how. 🤩🤩

Changing IMEI is illegal in many countries.

@Baddadon A thread already exists on this topic.

I cant set up the secure folder. It keeps crashing with the message; "If this keeps happening, contact customer support"

Everytime I try to set up the secure folder, it shows the normal welcome screen. After that it asks for the permissions, when I click on continue, it crashes. I have tried clearing the cache and data of secure folder. Nothing has worked so far.

[Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e Questions & Answers] King Mustard:
I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e (SM-T720 (Wi-Fi model)) tablet and it's rather slow, likely due to the mid-range Snapdragon 670 SoC from 2018 that is inside the device.

I find even rotating the device takes a while.

I was considering a custom ROM, in hopes of speeding the tablet up.

I mainly use the tablet for casting videos to a Chromecast, though I also do general Web browsing on it. Nothing too taxing.

Do you have a suggested ROM that is stable for daily use?

I've been running lineage 20(Android 13) works well just read up on it in the instructions link to flash and root. Or just wipe your stock tablet and start over

[Xiaomi Redmi 4a Questions & Answers] w1elma:
I owned a Xiaomi 4 phone years back, and my absolute favorite feature of any phone I've ever owned was that I could--from the screen being off/locked--press and hold the volume down button to record a video.

It would give me the slightest vibration after ~1 second to let me know it had started recording, and it would continue recording until I released the volume down button, and then it would just remain in the screen off/locked attitude. https://vlc.onl/

Is there something I can do to recreate this feature?! How

For some reason I am getting a log-in button on the front page while I already am logged into the forum (and when clicking the login button and entering my email+password because the FP login requires an email instead of my username I am getting an invalid credentials error).

[About XDA developers] willverduzco:
Hi all, what's written above is entirely correct.

To expand a tiny bit on what Mike wrote, we maintain two entirely separate databases for entirely different purposes:

On xdaforums.com, you can create an account to search and post within the forums yourselves. This is what you used to create the OP!

In contrast, on the xda-developers.com homepage, you can create an account that allows you to sign up for our daily newsletter and get free access to unlimited articles (along with a lighter ad experience when viewing these articles)

Due to logistics of using separate platforms to handle our home page and newsletter vs our forums, the databases will unfortunately never be shared.

Apologies for any confusion this might cause!

[Google Pixel Watch 2] kondi10:
I have 2 watches, well one is mine, one is my husband's and they behave a bit differently. My watch is very often blinking green light sensor from the bottom, which is very annoying when going to sleep and having 2 watches next to each other. His is fine, mine is blinking. Also, my watch very often shows the notification about possible stress or excitement, his doesn't. Battery wise - when used it's more or less the same, when not in use, mine loses power faster than his.

I know I may play with fitbit a bit more, I hope it's the case. Can you suggest something?
[Google Pixel Watch 2] simplepinoi177:
In the Fitbit app, go in your "Body responses" page under the "Stress & mindfulness" section, tap the cog at the top right, and turn off/disable notifications.

The blinking green light is the oxygen or heart-rate sensor. You're not too clear what you're doing during the night/sleeping -- you're either wearing 2 watches at the same time, or you're comparing the 2 watches being next to each other on yours and your husband's wrist, or leaving them on your bedside not charging, or you're somehow still seeing it while you're wearing it. If it is the latter, you're not wearing it tightly enough. For the other possibilities, I can't really say unless there's more information -- why don't you just charge it or cover it with the charging puck? Or just cover it at all? (See why I don't understand without more information as the solution seems simple enough).

The comparative power draining, it's hard to say -- normally I would say your biometrics are running different than his, but you say "when not in use" -- so all I can say is restart your watch; this seemed to have helped when the same thing happened to me and my wife's. Until there are better more capable apps that can show specifically what's draining (specific system protocol "wake locks"), all we can do/hope-for is simply rebooting and hoping that handles a glitch/bug that's causing it...
[Google Pixel Watch 2] kondi10:
There are 2 watches, used by 2 people. We do not wear watches overnight, we keep them on a bedside table. And then we can see that my watch's green sensor blinks like crazy for quite some time (eventually it stops), his watch's does not.
[Google Pixel Watch 2] simplepinoi177:
That's a shame you're not getting/utilizing the sleep biometrics gathering...

how long is "quite some time"? I guess the watch is just desperate to get your biometric readings...but it shouldn't go that long (unless it's sensing something)...

But is there no way to cover it for yourself? If not the charging puck (it doesn't have to be plugged in if you're concerned about charging it), then other magnets or cloth covering or something else....

Or is your concern simply that it's using up battery with the green light laser blinking? Because if it's that, I wouldn't worry too much about it...it's what it naturally does while on your wrist and it seems to last long enough while doing that, it can't be wasting too much not on a wrist when it also has to sense steps (gyro) and other stuff...
