[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
Android is almost iPhone now in case you haven't noticed. Scoped Storage and more restrictive functionality. Forced obsolescence for legacy apps under the premise of security.

Expandable storage always was in competition with Google's cloud empire. IPhones have no expandable storage and I require a dual drive device*.

I'm running 2 stock N10+'s; one's running on Android 9, the other 10. Pie remains a easier to use/troubleshoot and more a functional OS. Security simply isn't an issue.

No need to upgrade the hardware or firmware as they are fulfilling their mission and remain a joy to use. My unlimited 4G plan is grandfathered and has better bandwidth then

ever. Maintenance costs are almost nothing; 2 batteries in 4 years. So waiting for me is both easy, painless and inexpensive.

I'm sick of both Samsung's and Google's endless hype and bs. If they don't meet my needs eventually I'll migrate to something that does. Im a pragmatist; I use what works.

*When my battery failed 5 days ago I simply slammed my 1tb data drive into its twin and was good to go. Had a few hiccups but both are now equally functional and will be twins to the bone. With over .5tb in my database what the hell is cloud backup going to do for me other than waste power and time even if I had 5G? The N10+'s are getting 12-13 hours SOT. My only glitch was ColorNote failed to backup automatically fortunately, the data wasn't lost. In the future I will correct that backup blunder🤣
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] s3axel:
Yes, it may be evolving in that direction. Although my bet would be on basic AI services that are free and improved/additional ones that need a subscription.

And in the end its us, the customers, deciding what they buy and what they reject ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] cfds:
A lot of people including myself don't really care about most of the "issues" you describe.

We know by now that your stock N10+ are running Android 9 and 10 and that you don't do any updates blablabla, if it makes you happy than I am happy for you! Remember, its only a phone, there are more important things going on in the world...

Its up to each individual to decide to pay for IA services or not, myself I will not pay for it and if its embedded in the phone and I cannot deactivate it than it's time to move on. Maybe I will join you one day in your cave...😁

All this hype about AI...they are running out of idea's and have to come up with new ways to seduce people to buy each year a new device...

I am happy with my S23 and S23U and don't see any reason for now to upgrade any time soon.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
You forget the time you waste learning how to use/setup new devices and especially OS's.

My maintenance time is minimal. The last factory reset on the one phone was over 3.5 years ago.

Most don't see the big picture because this crappy life style is all they ever saw, youngsters. AI started as soon as computers could do automated tasks.

Driven by the war and military requirements.

I remember life from 60 years ago. Dads went work, Moms took care of the kids and the house. You could save money and many worked 40 hour work weeks.

Not anymore.

AI made the rich, richer however most people work much more now; many times both parents need to work to make ends meet. Constant surveillance, no privacy, no liberty and far less quiet time than people had 60 years ago.

This doesn't even cover the willful and criminal misuse of AI.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] cpufrost:
Don't need it, don't buy it. Don't want it, don't try it. Not that hard. ;-)

And rounded edges? Perhaps the non ultra but those are for the peasants! :p

The flat, squared off design of the S24 Ultra is great, nearly Xperia territory. I wish the bootloader on U1 was unlockable and we had dev support for customs like 10 years ago. But wish in one hand and crap in the other and see which one fills up first...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] cfds:
Maybe some find it pleasant to play with their new "toy" and don't mind setting up the phone...I always use smartswitch - so far had no drama's with it. My S23 and N10 are basically copies from my S23U...When abroad for work which is most of the time I have both S23's with me. I have 3 sim cards plus I learned by experience that you should not travel to the other side of the planet with only 1 phone on you if you don't want to end up being forced to buy a phone as the one you carry failed.

I do agree with you on he rest here...we are on a very dark path. We are slaves and only work to pay taxes and to consume!

People complain about privacy, about being tracked etc. AI will make it even easier to track your every move.

I feel sorry for the young generation...
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NavySpark:
Companies have to find a way to sustain making money on software. Look at Microsoft, almost everything they offer now is a subscription based service and companies/consumers pay because they have needs for the products. Samsung will have to gauge use, features and cost.

The question will be in 2 years when they say they might start, is what will be offered and will it be worth it. My guess is you pick up the S26 series line, you will get a year free or something similar to that to entice people to upgrade hardware. Those of us on S24 and S25 series will have to decide.

At the end of the day, whether Samsung or Apple charges subscriptions first, one of them will. Rumors are Apple is working on AI for later this year as well as a potential folding device in 2025-2026.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] NavySpark:
You make some good points here but the one I find most interesting is this sentence

"So people will of course subscribe because they will fear of not being able to stay caught up or competitive."

It is almost as if social pressure or norms is what drives people to act the way they are. Just sticking with the cell phone arena, so many people upgrade every year almost based on the fact that it is just the new thing. I am not saying there are not improvements, however, look back at the last 4-5 iterations of phones and each new generation is just an improvement on the last. There is nothing wrong with that but people are starting to be more vocal that they want more change or that not enough changed. Folding phones was the largest shift in the last decade when it comes to cell phones. At CES and other shows, we have been seeing rolling screens and now folding screens making there ways to larger devices.

I for one am glad they announced 7 years of updates. I don't keep my phones that long but do plan to keep the S24 Ultra longer this time around because of what I stated above, not much is changing for my needs. I picked up the S24 Ultra because I used a Fold 4 for 18 months and after 2 issues (hinge and screen) that resulted in a Care+ claim (glad i had it!), decided I wanted to go back to a regular phone.

This goes back to your point of AI and subscription, the masses will adopt it and so eventually that will be the way. Subscription services initially weren't that bad but everything is going that way now.
[Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra] blackhawk:
A clean hand load is always best. As long as you don't update/upgrade the firmware it will continue to run fast and stable. Unless you do stupid things Android 9 and higher are reasonably secure.

Never trust SmartSwitch to backup critical data as it can fail you miserably. It can also puke on you going to a different devices and platforms.

It's best to hand load as SmartSwitch can cause subtle conflicts and unstabilities that degrade the load.

Always copy/paste at 2 copies to hard drive regularly. Always inspect for file number/size and readability and never compress or encrypt backups.

Agreed, always have a backup device ready to go.

Indeed.

I wish I had been in my prime in the 50's...

I have a Redmi Note 10 5G with MIUI Global 14.0.6.

I'm having an issue where the download speed on my phone is "limited" to half the speed of my Wifi (100 MBPS).

As you can see from the pic, other devices managed to get the maximum download speed of the wifi while my redmi....well you can see for yourself, not reaching even half the speed. Upload seems fine tho.

Anyone how to fix this? Thanks

- Prerequisites:

- Bootloader unlocked and rooted device

- Konabess App (download here: https://github.com/libxzr/KonaBess/releases)

- A brain

- Steps:

- Unlock your bootloader and root your device.

- Install the Konabess app and grant it root access.

- Configure your frequencies and voltage levels according to the table below.

- Frequency Table: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1tKP8G-m2exoX_g2PDUYVJL8U74K2PbBSjeMBFR67SEY/edit#gid=0

Grey is more or less the stock voltage corresponding with the nearest frequency. Green is my preferred freq config.

First few technical stuff:

in FP32 computing:

1000 Gigaflops = 1 Teraflops/TFLOPS

Adreno 650 on 940 MHz has 1443 Gigaflops

You can calculate this very easily

Shading units 768 * freq 0.940 * 2 = 1443 Gigaflops = 1.44 TFLOPS

Compere to home consoles last gen

PS4 has 1.84 TFLOPS

Xbox One S 1.4 TFLOPS

Nintendo Switch docked is 393.2 GFLOPs and undocked 196.6 GFLOPS which uses ARM cores so it great device to compere.

Is Gigaflops good performance metric between different architecture ?

Yes it is a good performance metric , other bottlenecks can be present - but its a good raw performance metric.

Real world performance may differ due to architectural differences and many things.

If you want to test your Gifaflops install Clpeak on Google Play Store.

Note: There's an optional 1020MHz setting on TURBO_L1, note that it might not be stable for everyone. I recommend settling down to 940MHz on TURBO_L0 if you're not stable with L1 on 1GHz.
[Sony Xperia 1 II Guides, News, & Discussion] WOLF33B:
what about temperature?. i know 865 x 1II is a cold enough but. how much it increase after prolong use. and in real life app like game what before or after? say genshin. psx2 ppsspp?

and i check the app. why not export your setting anway instead make the table?

anyway for anyone want to try but fail. dont panic. it a easy fix. just reflash your magisk patched boot into boot_a and boot_b and waila it work again like before. if you happen to deleted it already. get the boot___ from sin and flash from that. it will remove magisk but then just re compile and reflash. to get boot_ from sin. use already made guide from multiple source.

Ever since the battery died one time, the backup cam stopped working. In the process of trying to fix the cam, I must’ve deleted the third party apps that were already uploaded on the radio from the previous owner. YouTube, Google chrome, pandora, Spotify and few others are gone. Regular Bluetooth works, but no Navi. Every time I go to settings, accounts, & click add accounts… nothing happens. Anybody ever had this problem. I’m trying not to replace this radio if this can be fixed. Any help will be greatly appreciated!!

[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] Vexx1313:
Hey I'm vexx. My a70 quit charging so I bought a new charging port, battery and flex cable. Parts came in took apart the phone. Took the old charging port out. Put the new one in and then replaced battery and flex cable. However when I took the old charging port out the adhesive got stuck to the screen cable so I removed it. Put everything back together. Phone screen flashed green with lines on it. The phone vibrates but the screen is black. How ever when the charger is connected the phone gets hot. What did I do wrong?
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] EllieCat:
The screen cable is broken. The battery also might defective. Take it to a repair shop or return it if it is still under warranty.
[Samsung Galaxy A70 Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Did you damage the cable? What about the contact pins on the ribbon cable connectors; were any damaged and are the connectors properly seated? Carefully inspect your work.

Both the cable itself and it's plug/jack pins.

Be careful not to damage the mobo jacks when removing ribbon cables!

A new battery will draw more energy than an old one as it has more capacity. This will generate more heat. The bad connector or cable may be the cause too by forcing excessive polling because of the failed connection.

[Touch HD General] noris08:
if this subject has been discussed somewhere else, i am sorry. please just point me there

the basic ideea is that i can't use the tf3d music player to play anything.

with the 2 demo songs it starts (after very long time) play 3-5 seconds then stops

any other songs from the sd card is not found, just some mp3 ringtones (not all of them) but is the same problem - plays few sec and stops

what am i doying wrong? core, wm, gsp and all other music player works nice, but not this one.

please help because i found it appealing to use/

thank you!
[Touch HD General] noris08:
please guys, no one with this problem?

i added my songs to my sdcard by sincronising with wmplayer and just copying them to my card

both methods failed. if i copy them the tf3d player doesn't sees them at all

if i syncronize them, some of them appear some not, but event those seen by tf3d player can't be played. it starts after an eternity, plays 2-3 secs and stops. it is very annoying nad i have no clue what am i doing wrong.

thanks a bunch!
[Touch HD General] gjpax:
iv had problems with the music player myself , im sure what the problem is with songs only playing 2-3 secs.

But as tf3d goes when i sync my phone to copy music i always use direct drive (the middle option)

if i sync with wmp player i may get like 2 songs not syncing with the rest of the album

to get albums to show in tf3d put the album you want into the artist folder then copy to Music on your memory stick e.g day & age>the killers>MUSIC

but if you do it this way day & age>MUSIC the albums will show in your libary in tf3d but it sometimes take 20 secs to refresh
