Hello,
I have been using Samsung's brand of tablets and smartphones for several years. My first Samsung android device was the first generation of the Galaxy Tab P1000, and subsequently switched to Galaxy Tab P6200/6800, followed by Galaxy SIII and currently using NOTE II LTE N7105.
I would like to share some of my my experience with you:
1) Device casing with magnetic clip will cause your android sensors inaccurate,
2) Device casing in Black color will increase device overheating,
3) Update to the latest official firmware, as for NOTE II LTE N7105, the JB 4.1.2 lately released, try it as I tried and it is more stable and seldom get overheating,
4) For those devices which have been rooted, look for the specific kernel that will prevent overhearting,
5) The initial charging of your newly purchased device battery is very important, it must be charged at least 8 to 12 hours without turning it ON,
6) Visit these resources for further tips

Trying to not to turn on a newly acquired Note 2 for at least 8 hours while it charges is just impossible.
Hi,
New to the forum and am looking for some help. I bought a Samsung Watch 46mm from a website (cause it was 100e cheaper) and everything was working very well until Tuesday when I got a software update. After that I had a few issues.
1) the battery was only lasting max 12 Hrs - even when only in phone mode.
2) Steps not updating
3) No green flashing light on bottom - no HR.
4) Generally watch is slow to respond to actions
I was onto Samsung support and to cut a look story short they aren't able to fix because they say the S/N is showing as a non EU watch. S/N starts with RFAN Model number is SM-R800
My questions are
1) How do I find out what region my watch is for
2) How do I go back to the previous software that was working OK
The new version of Software is
One UI Watch version 1.5,
Tizen version 4.0.0.7,
Software revision R800XXU1DTG1
Knox Version 2.4.0
Any help greatly appreciated!!

Hi all,
Finally started using my samsung a70 again and updated to android 10, (obviously didnt read any of the issues).
Now my phone won't charge and is out of battery. Is there anything I can do?
I have a repairman coming next week but I was hoping to use the phone
Thanks
hello .. i am really interested with this phone as its currently on sale for 375USD ~ 1399 SAR (including VAT 15% and fees) wherr i am right now ( Moto G 5G Plus 128GB 8GB ram ) and i have some questions regarding this phone :
as i have been using android since 2010 ( Samsung S2 - Samsung Note - Samsung Note 2 - Innjoo - Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 - LG V20 - Poco F1 - Mi Max 3 - Mi Max 2 ) i would like to know about these particular points :
1. how does Motorola deliver software updates compared to Xiaomi, Samsung and LG for example ,,, Xiaomi for getting the most out of it with 3 to 4 security and bugs updates and a big android version change annually While LG might get the one or two update to security patches only with no android version update ????
This is still not answered, we received the September 2020 patch on android 10 for now RETMEA channel .... phone code name is nairo
2. Screen on time Expectations; and let me know if this is single or dual 5g / 4g standby mode .. this is important because it heavily affects the standby time ...
Can this phone use both sims and sd card with an adapter ? i would love to know if any of you have tried that
Answer : dual 4g standby and 4g+/5g on the active data sim when it supports it , hybrid adapter works and getting about a day and a half of life with this phone now ... Still on my second cycle and so far i am getting about 8 hrs sot
Update : battery usage is getting better ... 1.5 days of backup with 9 hrs SOT
3. is this phone easily rooted like requesting the unlock and then using a recovery from fastboot with magisk flash ? or its hard like doing LG v20 wizardry and dirty cow exploits with terminals and flashing ? ( i did both ways before on my older phones but i am just getting the sense of this phone
Answer : its not easily rooted due to lack of developers support and rooting will void all warranty which is absurd, plus you get an intrusive badge on your phone once you unlocked boot loader ... Xiaomi is far better in that case because you can re-lock it and the unlocked sign is not like a nuclear disaster sign .. this remind me of samsung and LG which is not appropriate
Rooted by patching the boot.img file with magisk app inside the phone then flashing it from fast boot, its a manual thing and the TWRP recovery is not working well on this Variant so far so you cannot rely on it (cannot access internal storage or sd card while it request codes or passwords)
4. how does this phone compare to the poco x3 nfc ? in terms of daily usage and smoothness ? is the internal memory fast like UFS ?
Answer : it is faster than poco x3 ... 276k poco vs 309k Antutu v8.4.3 ... Ufs 2.1 as gsm arena mentioned
5. does this phone support USB on the go function ? Are the ringer and notification volumes separable in the software ?
Answer : usb otg and charging other devices is supported, ringer and notification volumes cannot be separated (big bummer)? in settings but i am trying Volume Butler for now and so far i can say it sometimes work and sometimes not due to the fact i am using "island" which has applied a personal and a work profile inside the phone
6. does the phone speaker sound pack some bass like the lg v20 for example ? or its tinny like the poco F1 ?
Answer : closer to poco f1 less bass mono speaker, but its loud enough for media consumption for me atleast
7. will motorola support this phone even further with newer features like stereo speakers like what happened for the mi max 2 as an example ? or we will probably rely on other developers for a magisk module ?
Answer not clear yet
8. best cases for this phone ( links on amazon or aliexpress are appreciated if mods approve )
i bought lots of them from aliexpress and i am trying them now ... so far i like this one
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001600406047.html
for stickers i went installing the Hydrogel one yesterday and with the cover the whole phone experience went from ( a very slim phone that i am afraid to crush and break ) to ( this is a good phone that can deal with my daily usage )
9. the device has no notification LED and instead you get a pesky feature called ( display peek ) that keeps the phone turning the screen on for each move and vibration , plus the notifications cannot be seen if you have the hide notification mode on .... simply a bummer for a person who just wants to double tap to wake and unlock only as this called feature consume lots of battery for nothing ! ... motorola if you can see this please fix it
these are some of the detailed issues that i would like keep exploring solutions for as i am very eager to see your answer
Update : added some answers from my experience as i got the phone on 26-10-2020
No notification led light and the phone keeps lighting up the screen if you use moto gestures which is a pain .. already disabled
Google assistant button is useless
No double tap to wake
Nord VPN app notworking properly cannot login or use the vpn (Updated app now works fine)... Other vpn provider ultrasurf worked fine
No full screen recorder
21:9 screen is very long and only well suited for portrait use
Phone got security patch update September 2020
moto g 5g plus varient specs and antutu score
Some screen shots showing the current device specs and antutu score
I have had it for 2 weeks now, feels quite sluggish especially when switching apps but this is the 4gb ram version. Is the 8gb ram one any better?
This is an android one device which Google says should receive os updates for 2 years (android 11 and 12) and security updates for 3 but no word on the moto g 5g plus specifically

Glad to hear that it will be supported for 2 more years
Ram usage here is higher than 4gb everyday so yeah its smooth and working well so far ... Can you do the antutu on your varient and check the score to compare ?
Ps : dont forget to turn on adaptive performance it really makes it smoother after a couple of days depending on your usage
thanks
thanks for the advice about adaptive performance, i have turned that on and the difference is significant. i do have my reservations about downloading antutu, just because of all the stuff cheetah mobile has been accused of, but i have done some geekbench tests which I screenshotted but I don't knkow how to upload them here,
so the multi core scores averaged at 1838 and
the single threaded at 592 after running 3 tests

Hi ludio22,
I'm going to buy the 4gb version too. How is it going after these two months? Is 4gb really a limit for everyday use?
The phone can be rooted very easily, with the standard Magisk procedure.

fast charging is more related to the kernel used
try sixteen kernel or ryzen
Hi, I face the issue too. Did you guys make it work now? and how to do it? I installed newlyst Havoc OS 4.16.Thanks
