S20 Ultra 5G and Straight Talk

Well update, the Verizon rep in the port center called me back in an hour like she promised, but while she was on the phone with straight talk, they both lost their computers. So she was going to call me back today. BUT she called me back about 10 minutes later and everything was all set. My phone switched to my old number at 1am just like she said. I was a little nervous at first because I shut it off for 5 minutes like she told me, twice, and it didn't update. So, I did a factory reset, and when it came back on, it was my old number!! So then I had to stay awake a little while longer and set it up and redownload my apps. LOL But so far I love the phone!! It's almost set up. Just need to do my ringtones and fix my notifications and stuff!! Thanks for your suggestions and help!

AWESOME! So glad it worked out!!!

Reviews Is the Galaxy S20 Ultra Worth it?

Now that I have it, I would say NO. If you feel the need to upgrade from the S10+ or Note 10+, go for the S20+ but the 2019 line ups are not far behind so an upgrade from 2019 is completely unnecessary.

Probably fair. *Maybe* the Ultra, just cause of the insanity they packed into it. But most of the s10 lineup is still top of line and barely a below the s20 line.

8K Video Sample (Almost Unboxing)

I was hoping to record a Galaxy S20 Ultra Unboxing with another Galaxy S20 Ultra... but my 2nd unit hasn't arrived yet. So for now... a quick 8K video sample looking out the window.


Truth be told, I don't have an 8K screen to watch it on so I can't comment on the quality!

Whaddaya think?

Looked good on my 4k monitor, impressed so far. I mean, this isn't taking over for Red cameras for youtubers or anything, but still cool to see this in phonesx.

s20 Plus camera issues

love the phone but can't seem to access the live focus mode im used to on my note 8. If I use the single take mode I sometimes get photos that I can change the background...i really like the ability to zoom the back ground or the color point option but I don't know how to access these options everything I like..does anyone know how to do that?? Thank you

Hmm, interesting. Not sure I've ever seen that option, but this is my first Samsung phone in a LONG time. You have link/reference to the functionality you speak of?

Stylo 4 stuck on zoom in lock screen

My mom's lg stylo 4 is stuck on the lock screen in zoom mode. I can enter the 4 digits for the code but I am unable to find the check button to unlock it. The only two numbers showing on the screen is 2 and 5. I have taken it to 3 TMobile stores and contacted lg customer service. no one knows how to help. I have done the 2 fingers trying to zoom in bit it's not letting me.
you will most likely need to do a hard reset . you will loose all of your data, but i'm not sure what else you can do.

here is how:

Fantastic Music Player app

Not sure if you updated your music app, but it seems to run now. However I think there's some issues and improvements to be made.

Album view seems to be in some arbitrary order, and some on the list are not actually music, things like Download, Data, and QQ Mail. Some music players you basically set like this is my Music folder, and don't look anywhere else for MP3s etc.

The songs list only shows 6 songs maximum, with no fast way I can see of scrolling down. And with 48847 songs, it could take a long time to get to the bottom.
The font used, while stylish, is not very efficient at showing song titles. Maybe use the same font, that was used in the Album list.

Also the Genre and Artist lists aren't showing anything.

One of my uses for my phone is music, and I sometimes do like to try out different music player apps.

Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts.😊
Yes i made some changes in the new version due to which it is working on your device now, I do agree with your suggestions to have something that would easier finding songs while scrolling and the font seems to be very big. I have made a change in the app where I have changed the font of songs and now the titles gets displayed properly.
I am looking into the issue with genre and artist and albums with your device. Thank you for your patience. I will let you know once it is fixed. Thank you!!

Google assistant.

SMS is a telephony protocol, so if the SIM in your tablet is data-only I expect that you can't send/receive SMS from it (does the tablet have a telephone number?). My guess is that you should speak to your service provider, because whether it can send/receive SMS will depend on the account settings for that SIM.

Help Xbox 360 wired controller connection issues

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem: I can't connect my wired Xbox controller to my Huawei P Smart 2019.

The Xbox circle keeps flashing as if trying to connect or in simple charging mode. OTG checker apps identify the Xbox controller by name and manufacturer, but I can't make it work as an input device.

I tried what the original poster mentioned (USB debug mode) with no luck either.

Any new developments on this topic? Any suggestions?

I read that old phones did not have the right drivers for USB controllers but to install them the phone needs to be rooted. I suppose it's not that here, this phone is pretty new.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Encoding error when attempting to build with Cmake

Hi.
Im very new to Android studio, and i just ran into a problem with building the project in AS. I get the following error:
fatal error: UTF-16 (LE) byte order mark detected in 'A:/Visual Studio 2017/__Projects__/.../mycppfile.cpp', but encoding is not supported

I have tried few things. I tried changing the AS encoding to UTF-16, i tried enabling Tools -> Options -> Environment -> Documents -> "Save documents as Unicode when data cannot be saved" in my visual studio and tried to save the .cpp file again.

From the error it appears as if the issue comes from weird encoding from Visual Studio.

I would greatly appreciate help.

I have old lava pixel v2 2gb ram phone everytime i check for UPDATE it says connection timeout

Are you connecting to a WiFi network or using mobile data (cellular) when this error message occurs? Or does it happen when using both?
If just WiFi, try rebooting your router -- it could just be a local network glitch. Try connecting to a different WiFi network, like at a friend's home or work. If you have the same problem with a different WiFi network that indicates the problem is more likely to be with your phone.
If just mobile data, try re-seating your SIM card. It might also be helpful to log into your account with your carrier to check that your service is still active.

USB capability

The correct answer is that USB default setting is for recharge. The Hidden Menu can be enabled that will set up Dev Tools submenu. It has a MTB process toggle to enable selecting for various USB cable operations (eg, data transfer, FTP and photos only.

To enable the Hidden Menu: Go to settings, all the way to bottom. About Device>Tap multiple times on Build Number to activate it.
Thereafter, Developer Options Menu will show just below Security on main settings. Turn the toggle for this menu ON at the top of the page

The USB selection toggle is about half way down the list of available modules

DO NOT FOOL WITH ANY OTHER SETTINGS in this menu.

Once activated, when you plug in your USB, a popup menu will allow you to choose among USB settings.

my phone screen cracked, whats a good phone like this one

You might be able to find a smart phone repair support center near you (many small companies have accounts with major cellphone manufacturers).
The can repair cracked screens - have it looked it to see if the cost is much less than replacing the phone.

Otherwise, consider purchasing a factory refurbished model from Amazon.

The Samsung Galaxy Nine/+ models can be purchased at considerable discount now that models 10 and new model 20 is on the market.

Updates for these phones should be supported by Samsung for another year.

Note 9 update to android 10

Still waiting for my update. I'm using an SM-N960U on T-Mobile, and i'm still running android 9 with the Oct.2019 security patch. Samsung will never jump ahead of Google, until they straighten out their update system.

No update yet, and I see that my SM-N960U has the wrong baseband for Tmo.

Got tired of waiting and did it myself, via Odin.
