Galaxy S20 FE Android 11 & UI 3.0 Beta roll out

With the news that Samsung have started to roll out the stable Android 11 & UI 3.0 releases. comes the news that the Beta test firmware release has started for the Samsung Galaxy S20 FE model.

Initially, this has started rolling out in Samsung's home country, South Korea.

See... S20FE One UI 3 beta started in South Korea

This bodes well for the Galaxy S20 FE users as it puts them on the road to a stable release in early 2021.

Users should check their Samsung Members app in case they need to sign up for the Beta test firmware. The Beta test on the Galaxy S20's was limited to 5 or 6 countries and unbranded Samsung models and therefore the Beta may not be available to everyone.

Sell note 10

Well, in case you asked this question an year ago, I would also say that you just have to go for eBay, and everything will be just fine. However, recently I mentioned that there are tons of scammers on ebay. It is something that I have never before experienced on eBay. Also, they increased every single charge. I would actually recommend you mercari. I have started using this platform rather recently, and I like it. I started using it after I read a mercari review. It really looks to be the best one right now.

Get Battery Status to use as trigger

I want to use my phone going on charge as a trigger. The problem is that my phone doesn't have wireless charging on board so I added a Wireless Charging Receiver that plugs into phone. Unfortunately, my phone doesn't register as charging when my phone is placed on a wireless charging mat. I assume that the charge is not large enough to register.

I am hoping that there is a way to get that charging value using Tasker but I have been unable to find a method by Googling. I have found the Battery Monitor v1.3 but can't figure out how to get any usable values out of it.

Any suggestions?

Never mind my previous post, I should have better read what you'd written. That said, wouldn't STATE > POWER > BATTERY LEVEL work as a trigger?

Sumsung phones with Android 10 are insecure

actually my phone will not even unlock after a phone call. i can't even use the "apps running" feature as it is not an actual button like on some of the older phones or maybe even lower based sammy phones. so i think your issue @Evan Gyde is just with your phone....whatever model sammy you have.

maybe its time for an upgrade? something more secure.

Android Auto

Android Auto allows users with a compatible vehicle to use their vehicle's infotainment screen for Android applications like Waze, music, phone, etc. Google plays my messages, and I can reply to them using Assistant. It effectively replaces the vehicle's "assistant" with Google. Example: I'm not sure where a certain restaurant is. Rather than look it up and punch the location in my vehicle's navigation system, I just tell Google "navigate to Chief's Smokehouse" - Google will do the search, put the address in Waze (or Maps if I choose), and navigate there.

Since you say you have no need of it, you can go to Settings -- Apps -- Overflow Menu (three dots upper right) -- Show system apps and scroll to Android Auto. There you should be able to uninstall it or at least disable it.

Do Factory Unlocked Models Show 5G or LTE+ on Sub 6 5G Network?

Well I feel like I'm going in circles but now found a Reddit thread that confirms what I originally suspected.

The Factory Unlocked (model ending in U1) S20 phones apparently have not got the update from Samsung yet to allow sub 6 5G connection. But there is a hack in that you can change the carrier network code to ATT even though you are on Verizon and it enabled the N5 band which is what Verizon uses for their "Nationwide 5G" To do this you dial *#272*your IMEI number# Then select ATT and Install and change network code only. Phone will reboot and now you will see 5G UW symbol.


I tried the CSC change on my factory unlocked S20+. I ran three successive bandwidth tests on bandwidthplace.com before and after the change so 3 times on VZW and 3 times on ATT. As others have alluded to the LTE DSS Sub 6 Flavor of Verizon 5G is on average about the same speed as 4G LTE+. So I just turned it back to VZW and will wait for the update from Samsung. I'm surprised a month and a half later it still hasn't got the update to allow N5 band on Verizon.

I'm also wondering is the S20 always show 5G UW when connected to any 5G including sub 6 5G and not actual millimeter wave ultra wide 5G? Or is that just a side effect of "spoofing" the ATT carrier code when actually on a Verizon network IMEI?
