[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Updates and upgrades can and do break Samsung's.

I'm still running 2 stock N10+'s on Android 9 and 10 with no issues. I leave the firmware alone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] expat42451:
Updates and upgrades can and do break Samsung's.

Yeah they do. I cant find another phone I like with 12GB RAM and quad channel at that. I like that its fast. Wish there was a tablet out there with more than 6 GB RAM for less than $1000 US :)
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
The N10+'s are running machines that are snappy fast, extremely stable, cool running with excellent SOT, slim, lightweight with an excellent build and very long lived. Use a Zizo Bolt case and plastic screen protector and it's good to go the distance.

Sadly in 5 years Samsung hasn't topped this work horse with any of their new flagships.

wtf? Even the S24U be a downgrade for me.

I'm thinking of getting another new N10+ running on Android 10. It's crossed my mind that I'll most likely want to run these for many more years. I use my 1tb SD card a lot. My full music library is on it, mostly wav and flac albums. Hundreds of movies. I want more storage not less and certainly not on encrypted internal storage!

The cams are excellent, more than adequate. I have a grandfathered unlimited 4G data plan and it's fast. The display is gorgeous with excellent color calibration/accuracy so not too concerned about the variable refresh displays.

Yeah the Tabs are disappointing hardware wise. The 12gb of ram has me spoiled rotten, I simply never run out of ram. At times a larger display be really nice especially for reading books. The N10+ took over almost everything I did on the PC except deep data backups. It's a lot more bulletproof than Windows; my Android loads literally last years and still run good with minimum maintenance. Less downtime means more playtime.

Curious are yours Snapdragon phones?. We here in Ecuador where I live have a choice of Exynos or Snapdragon. Mine is Snapdragon. I am thinking about buying another one, another Snapdragon. As you say its just a great platform. I also like the great storage and from what you say the phone will "see" a Tb. Thats great to know. Many thanks for this info.......

Agreed about the tabs..... and moreover Windoze. I run Linux on everything, either that or Android. Also agreed about the storage. I think Samsung likes to make fairly full featured phones with paltry memory and then as things go with any system, software updates gradually take more and more RAM until the platform turns into a slow POS. My Samsung tab is on Android 14 with 4 GB RAM, I have to shepherd the RAM otherwise it enrages me to even use the tablet because it gets way slllllooooowwww. Bunch of crap. Tablet is also an Exynos processor and I am not particularly fond of that either. One store here is supposed to have access to a Chinese (which brand I dont know) tablet with I think either 8 or 12 GB RAM. If its something like Realme or one of the other major brands and depending on processor and screen I may or may not change. I would use the tablet for a lot more if it were not slow. Have turned off screen animations in dev settings as well and it still makes me crazy at times. I have an Otterbox for the tablet (getting that here to Ecuador was just another story in itself) so its another of those fun games we play with the bad investment that is any hardware now..... EXCEPT....for the Note 10+ :)

You're welcome.

They are both Snaps. They will read/write to a 1tb card with no issues.

Use a V30 or higher rated card, the SanDisk Extreme works well.

Format card in the phone before using and leave it there; do uploads/downloads to the card through the phone.

Do Not encrypt the card!

You can safely transfer the card to your other N10+'s if you need to.

View attachment 6114216

If it can handle larger than 1tb is unknown. It's rated for up to 1tb. I could make use of a 1.5 or 2tb card at this point.

Remember you do have Dex and maybe other ways to use a larger monitor. Dex wireless was also introduced but not sure if it was included in later N10+ upgrades. I haven't explored these.

The Zizo Bolt case is all I use.

When you get the battery replaced make sure to get an aftermarket rear cover seal to preserve waterproofing. Regardless never assume it is waterproof, protect from water, etc at all times.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] expat42451:
We cross posted as I was editing mistakes in my post to you :) I am going to look for a San Disk Extreme tomorrow. Thanks very much for this. This is just so excellent. Will give me a chance to have another copy of the huge number of photos I have taken here in S:A as well as music and videos.... Absolutely great! understand about not encrypting!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
Sorry I was doing the same and added to my post🤣

Just make sure to regularly and redundantly backup all critical data!

I put only apps, the dcim and download folders on internal memory. The dcim folders is then backed up on the SD card (rename that folder something else as you can't have two folder with dcim in their names).

All critical data goes on the SD card ie the data drive. I keep an inventory of all my apps there too that are installable. So I can do a full reload from the card with no internet.

This is the app I use to make installable copies:
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] expat42451:
Many thanks for this!! Out tomorrow to see if I can find a San Disk Extreme here ......or anywhere else in Ecuador.. and to see if any place has another Note 10+
[Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers] blackhawk:
You're welcome.

New ones are still available stateside but not cheap (about $700). Trusted vendor though.

Used will likely be loaded with Android 11 or 12 but they can be had at less a third that price.

With used ones my concern would be with how was the display brightness managed and drops, etc.

My original N10+ probably has at least 9k hours on it. Side by side with the newer one with only 100 or so hours on it revealed no difference I could detect. Colors and intensities where identical even blues and whites. I rarely use over 50% brightness and then only for seconds. I avoid using it in sunlight or using auto brightness. Generally it's at 30-40%, sometimes higher for movies. So the displays can be very long lived if managed properly. I do other things to help avoid "burn in" as well.

Lol at this point I have no clue what the projected life span is. The N10+ remains the zenith point for Samsung; a good balace of power, SOT, cams, storage etc in an excellent form factor and weight. I prefer the earlier Android versions especially 9. 9 was Google Android's zenith point as far as I'm concerned... at least for now.

First of all, gboard doesn't work for me. Second, Google assistant is only for Pixel devices.
[General Questions and Answers] OmiGujjar:
The app responsible for Google Voice Typing is the **Google app** and its functionality is also integrated within the **Gboard** app (Google Keyboard).
[General Questions and Answers] totalz:
You are right about the Google app.

I was able to find it through logcat from an old phone, but it doesn't have to be integrated with gboard. The voice typing module can run separately when the mic icon is pressed, it works with other older google released keyboard.

With an older version I tested, I can get Google Voice Typing (legacy). However, the change is reverted back after reboot. I need to find a way to disable the "update" or replace the system app. But I could not find any success in doing either...

[Google Pixel Fold] XdekHckr:
Hi,

So I tried to downgrade from pixel beta today without wiping data. Process was smooth but when it booted I ran into bootloop so I forced restart by pressing all 3 buttons. Then I get screen with battery and bolt. Later screen went black and I can't turn it on or do anything. It's not recognized by adb or fastboot.

If I plug phone into my pc I get only "pixel rom recovery" in devices manager.

Pixel rom recovery in recognized devices:

Anyone can help or know what happend?
[Google Pixel Fold] sawdoctor:
AFAIK you can't downgrade from beta without wiping., QPR 3 has now gone stable so you can flash latest stable.

As your phone is recognised it should be recoverable your best and safest option is to use pixelflasher and post in the pixelflasher thread. Badabing the pixelflasher Dev will tell you if it's recoverable
[Google Pixel Fold] XdekHckr:
Bro, there is no adb or fastboot. Device manager shows only "pixel rom recovery". So I think it's dead for now. But I will try to contact pixelflasher dev as you said...
[Google Pixel Fold] XdekHckr:
nah, it's rip
[Google Pixel Fold] CoolKitty:
I know it's a stretch but have you tried the pixel repair tool? Since you're getting ROM recovery it might be worth trying.
[Google Pixel Fold] XdekHckr:
did you even read what did I said?

How am I supposed to enter rescue mode or fastboot if screen is freaking black!

View attachment 6114336
[Google Pixel Fold] CoolKitty:
First, watch the tone. I'm just trying to help as best as I can. I don't have your exact issue so I can't verify or replicate the results.

Second, I assume the phone *may* be already in recovery mode, judging by the fact that it's recognized as ROM Recovery in Device manager. This may not be the case, so YMMV.

In any case, it's never a pleasant experience having your phone bricked, so sorry about that.

If it's still within your warranty period it may be worth the headache to also try support.

I previously had a Pixel 6 that was bricked because of a software update and I reached to Comspot Repair (I live within Europe so they're the only other 3rd party that is not Google themselves that are authorized repair techs). They warranty serviced it pretty much without asking questions, but again YMMV.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] he1sinki:
instead of disabling such features, maybe spoofing them would be a better approach? (the identifiers such as IMEI)

ive ben theorizing and studying about privacy and anonymity on communications devices for a few months now aswell.

hoping for some more juicy replies.. since i have no clue what im talking about^^

e: i dont belive in complete anonymity and privacy anymore.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] jlshwa9001:
When someone does work in software writing code for a project, if their code is useful and has value to society they need to be paid for their work. It's a simple concept that people need to be paid for their work.

Now in the current capitalist model software companies struggle to monetize their software so they can pay their software engineers. Currently the two most popular models are to make your software closed source so that the company has the ability to withhold the software if people don't pay for the right to use it and they can keep the code a secret from their competitors. Additionally the companies will try and monetize user data by selling it on the open market. This could be for other companies doing market research or targeted advertising or to governments spying on their citizens with mass surveillance.

Meanwhile many people in the open source arena who do care about privacy, go unpaid and have to be rouge warriors fighting for freedom. In order for people to have privacy all the code they use needs to be open source and the data they use needs to be encrypted and zero access. Both these things prevent the systems of profit that the capitalist market has come up with mentioned earlier. This is why it's so hard for you to find privacy and why you don't believe in complete anonymity and privacy anymore. The rules that run the system have resulted in a situation where the mainstream people don't have privacy by default. Corporations are spying on citizens and then selling their user data to governments.

Privacy is currently a great struggle. But i can tell you it is possible to achieve a good level of privacy because i have achieved it. It is just very very difficult and often you have to go without the latest technologies and features. Although it does get easier as time moves forward and an increasing number of people see the value of privacy and are willing to pay for private services like Decentralized VPNs and services like the ones proton offer.

Although we don't yet really have a good level of open source hardware, the open source software community is very strong and willing to fight for freedom with open source operating systems like linux and android.

There is a solution to the lack of privacy in the mainstream mentioned. The privacy community and software engineers need to come up with a standardized secure and anonymous way to count active users of software projects that privacy experts can all agree on and then have governments globally pay software creators based on their projects popularity and the complexity / difficulty (R&D Required). Perhaps using blockchain and proof of code usage. This would require new government laws and taxes. Governments would also have to agree on what constitutes an active user and how much the government should pay for that user per month based on the R&D of the project.

In relation to your idea to spoof the IMEI, this might be possible however it is not possible to spoof a sim or esim so the only option is to disable this system over wifi.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] SomeRandomGuy:
I don't suppose just adding entries in the hosts file would do that?

Also, if you build your Lineage ROM from scratch, you should have inventory over what goes into it. Do you know what process/APK is making the calls? If they aren't part of the REQUIRED vendor files (e.g. distributed as a binary), maybe they can be removed, or, if part of AOSP, just neutered in source prior to compiling. If you don't know, maybe some time searching in AOSP source could confirm or deny.

If you really want a functional phone in emergency cases, disabling the radio wouldn't make sense. It's an interesting quandary... I'm surprised more people haven't chimed in with ideas.

Good luck on your immortal quest, there are fewer and fewer of us each day.

2150/ims_rtp_daemon

2150/ims_rtp_daemon

1851/imsrcsd

After whittling down the active network services on my phone and then consulting ChatGPT I believe these are the active services responsible for *.pub.3gppnetwork.org requests. As stated earlier It seems these services are bypassing my firewall which uses root and iptables and also any VPN implemented. I doubt we can solve the problem with iptables (although i don't know for sure). I feel like if we just block the traffic in iptables or the hosts file that would be similar to what i am doing currently by blocking the traffic at the pihole, although it would be superior to the pihole because it's on the device. I think a better solution is to stop the services from running because they are chewing up battery with endless blocked requests. I think the services need to be disabled. Now we just need to find the correct way to disable them permanently. It would be really cool if there were some options in lineage for this.

like:

full enable / full disable / only allow over iptables and VPN. We definitely need more control over these services for privacy purposes.

Just so we are on the same page, being logged into to an privacy violating system like this where your real identity is linked to your IP address is bad for privacy. It would be similar to the problem you would have if you were logged into spotify on your phone. Once the privacy violating corporation has your IP address in real time with an active connection to their servers your goose is cooked.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] jlshwa9001:
Are the following services in lineage os part of the required vendor files (e.g. distributed as a binary)?

2150/ims_rtp_daemon

2150/ims_rtp_daemon

1851/imsrcsd

Chat GPT 4o:

Here's a brief overview of each service:

ims_rtp_daemon:

This daemon is related to the IMS RTP (Real-Time Protocol) services, which handle voice and video calls over LTE. It is usually distributed as part of the vendor-specific binaries because it is closely tied to the hardware and network capabilities of the device.

imsrcsd:

This service is related to IMS registration and session management. It is also typically part of the vendor binaries, as it handles network registration and communication for IMS services.

Both of these services are generally part of the proprietary vendor files provided by the device manufacturer. They are necessary for enabling and managing IMS-based features like VoLTE, VoWiFi (Voice over Wi-Fi), and video calling. LineageOS, being a community-driven project, relies on these vendor files to support such features on compatible devices.

To summarize, the services ims_rtp_daemon and imsrcsd are indeed part of the required vendor files and are distributed as binaries by the device manufacturer.
[LineageOS Questions & Answers] jlshwa9001:
Given what we know about these services bypassing the root firewall AFWall+ that uses iptables and bypassing any VPN in android, will these services bypass the hosts file?

Chat GPT 4o:

In Android, certain system services and daemons have elevated privileges that allow them to bypass typical user-level controls, such as firewalls (like AFWall+) and VPNs. This can sometimes include the ability to bypass DNS modifications made in the hosts file. Here’s what you should know:

Privileged Services:

Services like ims_rtp_daemon and imsrcsd that are integral to network functionalities might have the capability to bypass user-level DNS controls. This is because they operate at a low level in the system's networking stack.

Effectiveness of hosts File:

Modifying the hosts file is a common method to block DNS resolutions. However, privileged system services can potentially ignore or override the hosts file settings if they are programmed to do so or if they use custom DNS resolution mechanisms.

Alternative Methods:

If these services are indeed bypassing the hosts file, you might need to look into more advanced methods to block their network access. This could include:

Custom ROM Modifications: Building a custom ROM or modifying your current ROM to remove or alter these services.

SELinux Policies: Modifying SELinux policies to restrict the network access of these services (requires deep knowledge of Android’s security framework).

Network-Level Blocking: Using a network-level solution like a custom DNS server or a network firewall that can block traffic at the router level.

I've just ordered this phone a few days ago and waiting for delivery from the UK.

Just wondering what cases others have used for this phone? Or recommendations even?

I've got an i-mate SP5 (HTC Tornado) at the moment, which came with a leather pouch/holder (that hangs on the belt etc). I doubt the SP5 case will fit the S740, which I know is much longer in size.

It doesn't have to be one made specifically for this phone, it just needs to fit it.
