Sorry for my bad English.

I have had this S20 ultra LTE (indonesian market) for some time now, has anyone successfully enabled the 5G modem inside of it? The modem exists inside this device but Samsung disabled it for some reason, thanks.

Also, if I factory reset, with it reset to the latest UI (5) or reset to UI 2 or whatever it started at?

Question Worth buying S20 Ultra for 200 CAD?

5 Upvotes

My friend is selling to me, it has 3 or 4 scratches on the main screen that are deep - I am thinking of using a screen protector to mask them? Also a very small "dent" in the screen near the bottom - not sure if it is a dent though. On the camera area one of the cameras has a 4 light scratches over it and there is a very small deep scratch on the side - but it doesn't go over any of the lenses.

He's selling it to me for 200 CAD and won't go any lower...my S10+ broke and I am thinking of buying the S20 off of him. Especially because it has MicroSD functionality, though it loses the headphone support.

Question How to Avoid Green Lines?

4 Upvotes

I'm using the Samsung S20 5G SG981U1 and I've been extremely lucky to not get any green lines on my phone since I got it in July last Year.

But it breaks my heart to see other users have green lines on their phones around me. I'm looking to upgrade to the S23 when I get the money.

So, I want to know what to look out for to avoid green lines with my future purchases and also what to tell others looking to get a Samsung and seeking my opinion.

Cooling options for S20 12gb

5 Upvotes

I was looking to buy a s20 for pc game emulation but the throttling on this phone is crazy. And yes I know there is a vapor chamber behind screen and that is what I was wondering so since the chip is facing the screen how can I move heat to back of phone and possibly add a fan as well. I hope some modders can help.

"System" taking up 129GB I NEED HELP LOL

Post image
23 Upvotes

Genuinely about to lose my marbles you guys... I got new phone and haven't been using my S20+ for a year now. Deleted a ton of apps I don't need since I don't use the phone. Only keeping it around because it had photos and videos that I'm keeping on here. So I'd been expecting it to be pretty much empty when I opened the storage info only to find that System is using up a whopping 129GB and I can't even clear it up in some easy way like how I might simply delete images....

Why is it taking up 129GB and how does it even get to that?? Is there something I can do to clear it up? Insane that my phones at 95% full when I barely use this one anymore.

Phone fell, screen broke and a few days went in a bootloop by itself

3 Upvotes

Hello,

Annoying series of events.

My phone fell and that cracked the screen and bottom 3 quarters became out. Sometimes it'll work if I apply light pressure on the side.

I should've backed up my stuff but I didn't. Called some shops and they said they'll have a screen for replacement in a few days. I was just barely using it with an external Bluetooth mouse to get stuff I needed for the moment, but everything was good otherwise. Then on the 3rd night I went to sleep but forgot to turn it off or charge it because the screen was glitching too much and couldn't access it. Stupid of me.

Woke up the next day to it on the Samsung logo and pretty warm to the touch. Not the hottest it's ever reached. So I did a hard reset thinking it'll just boot up but it kept on being stuck on the boot screen. Then it turned off by itself. Tried turning it on again, but the battery was drained already. So I left it and went to work and then took it to shop later that day.

Today, the shop was able to replace the screen but it's still stuck in a bootloop. The guy said the hardware all looked good to him, he said he even tried replacing the battery but nothing. I asked if he can flash it. I really didn't want to because I really need the data on it. He said they don't deal with software. If he removes the screen now, then he won't charge me. He said if he flashes it, it might get bricked and he doesn't want the responsibility. It seems they're not good at software.

I know it's an old phone and not worth the hassle. I was planning on getting a new device in the next coming months anyway. But right now I am hoping to fix this so I can get my data and also have something till I get a replacement. Anyone have an advice for me?

Tech Support S20 Turning off and restarting itself

2 Upvotes

My S20 has been turning off itself or restarting alone (battery far from empty) for a few days now. I didn't install any new apps or anything, it just started this behavior recently.

It now restart up to 5-6 times a day!!

The battery was changed last year and current battery life is said to be near 80% so this is not a battery related issue.

Has anyone experienced this?

Is my phone dying rn? 😢

Tech Support Galaxy s20+ 5G, audio/sound stopped working—no Bluetooth output, and also no speaker output, and also video recording fails. "audio codec not supported"

2 Upvotes

Update: must be hardware. Did a factory wipe twice, including with bridge.

Clues—:

"CAN'T PLAY AUDIO. AUDIO CODEC NOT SUPPORTED."

(verbatim the error when I try to watch videos with sound on default Samsung media player)

Troubleshooting: Clearing the Android cache doesn't work (restart and hold up menus),

Buttons not sticking, not a hardware button stuck error. Might be a loose wire? The camera wire for the back camera is loose for sure. But this never has this issue before. This happened randomly. The camera app would crash whenever I tried to use the back camera, but now it's any time I open the video record app. Effects every app. The entire audio...

Safe mode no changes,

Normal mode: The sound menus doesn't help, all default settings toggled.

The dev options (not rooted) do not help either.

  • TikTok, and also Instagram do not play videos at correct frame rate (they freeze entirely at the first frame when you click on any video)

Sound doesn't load, and the videos seem to lag/frame rate drops. However, youtube through brave browser has no frame issues - but it doesn't have sound.

  • Opening the camera default app is fine and takes pictures. But if I set to video mode, or try to use the mic? Instant crashes the video app with "WARNING Recording failed" in the app, in the same "system bubble" as the codec warning on the file browser

What is this issue and how do I solve this?
