Software help - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

I've done a lot of reading but haven't been successful in finding a solid answer, I have a note 10+ n975u, it is sim unlocked and I would love to root(if possible, I don't think it is) or at least flash a no carrier bloat loaded stock software. Can anyone point me in the right direction for a solid answer?

No root needed. If you optimize it will run well stock. Use Package Disabler to easily disable apps you don't want running.
Turn off adaptive battery... deal with power hogs on a case by case basis.
The Snapdragon variants are extremely hard to root if possible at all. Not worth the trouble or potential consequences.

Thanks for the info. The advantage I have in this case is that it is not my daily driver. Just one I like to mess around on. Back in the day I used to root every device I got the day after I got it. But I've been away from the game for a while.

You're welcome. I have two, a N975U (Pie) and a N975U1 (10). That's all I use... once optimized these get good SOT and are very stable.

Custom ROM or not?

I was wondering what people are doing with their 5X's. The Nexus devices use to be a safe haven for ROM users, but with stock Android getting so good with monthly updates, and Android Pay not being usable on a custom ROM, custom ROM's have been a lot less appealing to me.
Nonetheless, I believe that this device suffers from MAJOR optimization issues, and the combination of CM13 and ElementalX kernel solves a lot of these issues, yet I feel like I'm missing out without the possibility of using Android Pay.
I have also grown tired of factory resetting my phone after doing it countless times over the last few years, and I'm ready to not have to do that for a long while, and the most obvious option for that is sticking with stock.
So what are you guys doing? Sticking with stock? Or are you using some custom ROM as a daily driver?

Did someone say custom ROM?
Flashing is addicting. Fun too. And there isn't anything wrong that. If you have the time and patience it is an excellent hobby.
Sounds like it's getting old to you. Maybe it's time to take a break. Try stock unrooted (or rooted) for a week or so and see if it works out for you. If not flash away. You won't be out anything.
I'm on day 3 of stock unrooted (for the best buy deal). I'm going to see how long I can stay this way.

There's no way to fix this? Only to wait for an update?

Thats the only way I was able to sort it,there was also a thread somewhere on s10+ with tons of battery saving things to do not sure if they changed anything cant remember
I got mine to stop in settings, device care, battery, app power management, deep sleep apps. And I just added the apps I did not want running in the background, so far it keeps them off unless I go into it and when I leave the app it gets put to sleep.

Please help - How to find out if someone has opened my phone

Hey there everyone,
I have snooping wife issues.
I need to know if there is anyway I can see if my wife has opened my phone. It's Samsung A70 running Android 10.

She probably knows my password.
Just wanted to know.
Thanks.
Help and cool comments are highly appreciated please.

Lol. Root cause analysis provided to prevent future failures...
This is what I did.
I found out my "sleep timings" from Samsung Health located in setup and noted my sleep time from there.
Then I collated it with "Samsung Digital Well-being" to see if any of the messaging app was operated while I was sleeping.
It was not.
So I'm going to change the login pin and password.
Let the kids grow.
I'll be living alone when they move out.
Maybe try using the goodlock module "nice catch" by samsung, it stores data about notifications by apps and sudden wakeup of phone.
If goodlock is not available in your country try other alternatives like nicelock from playstore or any other app that provides same functionality.

Solved-disable packages to stop system updates?

I'd like to disable system updates (I don't want Android 11). I have CCSWE app manager, I'm just not sure which packages to disable to make it stop bugging me about available updates. (I'm saving to root my phone, but in the meantime I want the 'update available' notification to GO AWAY)
afaik it's system/privapp/FotaAgent and system/privapp/SOAgent
I'm not sure which of these 4 did the trick, but once they were all disabled the update notification disappeared.

com.wssyncmidm is the culprit I think.
Auto-updates cause a lot more trouble than malware... malware has cost me less than 1% of wasted time compared to that caused by updates.

I'm having major problems dealing with the bloatware that came on my phone to begin with and now this Android 11 update is the end all for me..
Soooo would really be interested in finding out about this CCSWE app manager that you said you have been using to control it. I just heard a lot of bad things about the regular forms of disabling the bloatware being ineffective in Samsung's latest attack on our privacy. Appreciate any info you got to put me in the right direction, thanks.

Stopping Apps from Deep Sleep

Hi,
I have the following phone:
Samsung Galaxy S20 (SM-G988U1) Ultra 5G (SnapDragon) [Not Rooted]
Android 13 & One UI 5.1
(I run Nova Launcher)
I have both Avast AV and a Notification app that I use and which need to run all the time. For their Battery Usage, I set them both to "Unrestricted" and I did also Disable the "Remove Permissions if App is Unused" setting for both apps.
What's happening is that every time I Reboot my phone, I get a Notification from "Device Care", that says it put the apps to sleep because they were "sending unnecessary notifications and slowing down your phone".
The same thing is happening on my wife's Samsung Galaxy A71 5G phone as well (running same OS & UI as mine), so I know it can't just be my phone. Plus we bought them just a couple of months ago new.
Please help??? I wish to keep my hair in my head!
Thank You!
Dave
Disable global power management.

Developer options>standby apps, when global power management is disabled all bucket states show as active.
Otherwise optimize the phone by dealing with apps on a case by case basis. Limiting data and battery use in the individual app settings doesn't effect global power management. Use Package Disabler or adb edits to kill unneeded apps that are using excessive battery and do not respond to more civilized methods of control.
