Help Samsung galaxy s10+ not Service state : out of service after flashing stock firmware with Odin

I got a rooted Samsung galaxy s10+ and went on to unroot it and flash stock firmware using Odin. After flashing, when I insert my simcards, it is able to identify the simcard providers but when I try to make calls, it says not registered on network. When I go to setting and simcard status it says the following:

Network: Emergency calls only
Mobile network state: Disconnected
Service state: out of service
Mobile voice network type: UMTS

How do I fix this? Please help

Galaxy A51 media volume lessening without recieving notifications

I have a Galaxy A51. The media volume has recently started lessening through phone speakers like when a notification comes in, although there is nothing there. All media I've tried is affected. It lessens up to 3 increments even though the slider and settings all say volume is maxed and don't change. I used to listen to my phone from other rooms, now I can barely hear it while holding it at chest level. Bluetooth and regular headphones are uneffected.
I have restarted the phone, cleared caches, everything is up to date, I've deleted other apps that have recently updated, I've tried safe mode, I've checked volume limit (and tried to set the limit to max), and left the phone off for extended periods of time. This is quite frustrating.

Apps Firebase Auth Implementation Problem

Hey,
I have an application project where BaseActivity.kt is a class inherited by others. I am having trouble implementing Firebase in the PageLoginActivity.kt and PageSignUpActivity.kt classes. Could someone help me? I’ve been working on this for three days, and it’s slowly killing me… Below, I will add piece of the codes.

BaseActivity.kt
abstract class BaseActivity(@LayoutRes val layoutId: Int) :
AppCompatActivity(), BaseControllerFunctionsImpl {
lateinit var binding: T

override fun onCreate(savedInstanceState: Bundle?) {
super.onCreate(savedInstanceState)
binding = DataBindingUtil.setContentView(this@BaseActivity, layoutId) as T
binding.lifecycleOwner = this
addObservers()
setUpClicks()
onInitialized()
}


(…)

PageLoginActivity.kt
class PageLoginActivity : BaseActivity(R.layout.activity_page_login) {
private val viewModel: PageLoginVM by viewModels()

override fun onInitialized(): Unit {
viewModel.navArguments = intent.extras?.getBundle(“bundle”)
binding.pageLoginVM = viewModel
}
(…)

PageSignUpActivity.kt
class PageSignupActivity : BaseActivity(R.layout.activity_page_signup) {

private val viewModel: PageSignupVM by viewModels()

override fun onInitialized() {
viewModel.navArguments = intent.extras?.getBundle(“bundle”)
binding.pageSignupVM = viewModel
}
(…)

Thank you in advance.

Tetrd stopped working after windows update KB5032189

I've been using Tetrd for about a year and LOVE it! Ramencoder has done an awesome job.

I ran into a wall today, though. Tetrd stopped working after I applied windows update KB5032189 just now.

When I plug in my USB cable, the Tetrd app doesn't show up on the phone so that I can connect like it normally does. Instead Windows Explorer shows shows up on my laptop showing my phone, and then this message appears (I'm guessing from the server).

No matter what I do, the server always shows "No devices". I've done the obvious trouble-shooting steps with no luck.

Help! I whittled down my hotspot data to the minimum, I need to stay connected for work, I'll run out soon.

Anyone having the same problem? Any ideas?

Here's are the devices, the app has been working great until now.

Samsung Galaxy S10e

I bought a Samsung galaxy s10 e refurbished with snapdragon processor on ebay 2 years ago.I didn't have phone signal in my city and phone would only work if wifi calling option was on and I was connected to wifi,if I was in another city it'd work
A week I changed phone isp and got new sim but it only works in 2g mode and I have to go outside for it to work for example I have to go to the balcony for it to work.
If I enable 4g and go at the balcony It shows vol lte and lte,I have signal but people can't hear me when I call and I also don't have data connection even if it shows lte with 4 or 5 bars of signal
I can only make calls when I change the phone options to use GSM 2g only
Everything else about this phone is perfect and I don't want to buy a new one but if I can't fix it somehow I'll have to do that.
Any ideas what to do?I have watched a lot of YouTube videos even contacted isp and followed the steps they gave me and it didn't fix the problems

NCAA Men's Basketball 2023

I love college basketball and my favorite team is the Kansas Jayhawks... duh. Early polls have them ranked #1 which means nothing. Tonight they travel to play #17 ranked Kentucky Wildcats. It should be a good game that will be on ESPN in a half hour or so. I also root for my local university, Wichita State U, where I was a sysop on their BBS years ago and where my kids went to college. Do you have a favorite team?

"Fully charged in 8 hours"

OK, this was just a catch phrase but it did say it. Suddenly my Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G is saying incorrect or bad charging times. It said "8 hours 12 minutes to fully charge at 19%" I unplugged and plugged back in "1 hour 55 minutes" I click the lock screen on and off "3 12 minutes until charged".

What could be going on here? the cable or phone or a glitch?

Samsung M51GPS issues

I have odd GPS issues cropping up. While walking the dog I used to use Fit, Google tracking, just to get distance and time. I would put the phone in my back pocket upside down (yeah, I know the gps sensor is at the top) and it has tracked well for a couple of years. As of about a month ago it stopped registering any GPS data unless I held it in my hand. I tried the same thing with Strava and had the same result.

I do notice however, that I can get a Strava map if I put the phone in my back pocket right side up. But the maps all seem to be very badly drawn, not reflecting my walking path very well at all. Even when running, using my Garmin gps watch around a track, the loops around the track are not nearly as well formed as they were several weeks ago.

It is almost like the GPS signal has somehow gotten weaker. I did clear the Google Maps cache from my phone, but that didn't seem to make any difference.

Any suggestions of what else i could try?

Thanks.

Samsung S9+ MDM Mode + the client doesnt remember screen lock password

Hi, I work in a technical assistance department and I'm still specializing in software, a week ago an S9+ sm-g9650 android 10 binary came in, the customer brought the cell phone here because she ended up forgetting the screen password, when I went to format the cell phone through recovery mode, the factory reset screen did not appear, since there was no such option, I downloaded the stock rom of the cell phone G9650ZHU9FVF2 and tried to install it via Odin and via SamFW Tool, but both software gave an error and a message appeared warning that the cell phone it was in mdm, I already tried to download cm.tar.md5 and install it in the AP part of Odin but it also gives an error and MDM remains blocked, I already tried to enter Brom mode to use ST-MTK Universal but it is not recognized in Chimera Tool! I don't remember when it was, but after a reboot it went from being a standard password to a password of letters and numbers with the following phrase "Your phone is encrypted for security. To initialize the device, enter your password." What do I do? I don't know what to do anymore!

Totally dead screen, need data recovery?!

I have a customer's phone with a totally black and unresponsive screen, but the phone is on. I get the notification sound on my pc when I plug it in and it shows up as an empty drive because it's not signed in.

Smart switch sees it, but complains about no usb transfer mode and the phone beeps telling me it sees smartswitch, but no response to tapping around on the black screen.

Picture a running computer with no monitor attached.

This person has some audio files that they desperately need to recover.

No SD card, no cloud backup, no backup at all of any kind and no way to control the phone in any way that I know of.

If there's no way to do it, just tell me that please and please don't offer solutions that the strangling limitations I've just noted have already ruled out. I've been researching this for an hour.

Any help would be enormously appreciated.
Thanks.

EDIT: Oh yeah. This is a Samsung A51

Need help with notifications

I've had my first smartphone for about a year, and I still can't get the hang of how (some) notifications are supposed to work. (I have a Galaxy A03s, which I bought from Verizon.)

My general problem is that notifications pop up saying only the most general things – for example, that there are "new updates." But what's supposed to be updated isn't described, and tapping the notification makes it simply disappear. It seems to me, based on my experience with computers, is that the coherent way for a notification to work would be for it to act as a link to a place which is relevant to whatever the notification is about, but apparently they're not designed to work that way.

Notifications re updates aren't that big of a deal, of course, because I can always go to one of several places (e.g., the Google Play Store or the Galaxy Store) to see what's what. But I've received other notifications that were so uninformative as to be useless.

This morning, I got this notification, which said this, and nothing more:

"Activation incomplete
Please contact customer service (800) 922-0204 for assistance."

I haven't installed any apps for the last several months, and am not aware of anything that needs to be "activated," so I have no idea what this message could possibly refer to.

I Googled that phone number, which led me to this discussion on the Verizon forums:


The discussion didn't resolve anything, except to suggest to me that phishing or the like may or may not be involved in some way, so I'm not going to call that number any time soon.

I understand how phishing generally works for phone calls and text messages. But this notification is from "within" my own phone, isn't it? What am I supposed to make of such a thing? If it's legitimate, because something was supposed to be activated, how can I find out what was supposed to be activated – without calling the suspicious phone number? And just how are notifications in general supposed to work, so when I read and uninformative one in the future, I can actually make use of it, or at least understand what the heck it's about?

Thanks.

P.S. I know I can try to ask Verizon about this, but my experience with their support has not been good, not worth waiting the 40 minutes or longer that it usually takes to talk to someone.

Can't attach file with Files and Media: Media permission

Hello! When an app I use has Files and Media permission set to All Files ("allow management of all files") I can use all my files within this app with no problem. But when another app I use has Files and Media permission set to "Media" ("allow access to media only") I cannot attach any file no matter where I put it (I've tried DCIM, Downloads, etc.). I can still browse all folders of my local memory, but as I select any file, the file exploration mode ends and I'm being brought back to my app (in my case mail app) with no file attached.

Is there a very specific location of this Media folder (or bunch of folders)? I couldn't find such info on the internet.

I need to find location of this Media folder because the app I want to use doesn't have the All Files permission option available.

EDIT: I can't attach files in Proton Mail app, but I can do it in Fair Email app with same permissions set, so it looks like a bug in Proton Mail. Sorry for bothering you - I've got this problem in other apps too, so I thought it's not app related. Looks like many apps have this bug .

The others are not and you can't click on them. I suspect he is using Google messages with RCS and adding my name to group message wit whoever he's really messaging

Contacts app on MIUI

Hey. I got an issue with my contacts app on MIUI 12. when I start to insert the first few numbers of my contacts, for some of them the phone predicts the contact name and brings it up and for some it doesn't do that. anyone has any idea what's up with it? I would like my phone to predict all my contacts when I insert the first few numbers of their phone number so I could just tap on the name and call them instead of inserting the whole phone number. thanks in advance.

When I go to "Settings" > "Display" > "Wallpaper" it only gives the option to change the main screen background wallpaper and the "default wallpaper" photos only changes the main screen wallpaper, not the lockscreen wallpaper
Thanks
