Samsung Pay issue - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Questions & Answers

I just bought my Note20. The model # is SM-N980F. I am running Android 11 and One UI 3.0. When opening Samsung Pay, I get a message saying that my phone is not supported. Everywhere I've looked thus far says that it is though. What gives?

[Q] Xenta WiFi Inspection Camera

Hi All,
Has anyone had any luck getting the Xenta WiFi Inspection Camera to work on a HTC X One or any android phone for that matter? I got one off eBay for work as I thought it would be handy using an inspection camera with a Smartphone. I downloaded the software from Ulife on Google Play and installed it. Linked the Phone to the Camera via WiFi and then launched the software. All I’m getting is a blank grey screen. I also tried it on my wife’s HTC Sensation but got the same. I’ve had a replacement camera sent and got the same issue with that so I can only assume it’s the software or compatibility issue with HTC or the OS version. I’ve tried it on Android 4.0 and 4.1 with no luck.
It’s a shame to give up on it as it sounds like a great piece of kit if only I could get it to work!

[Q] Android device protection? is it available?

Hi, I read from one of the threads (http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...evice-protection-android-one-useless-t3128202) that Lollipops Device Protection (makes anyone who takes your phone unable to format the phone unless they hold your google account details)..
sounds great but is it true that its only available for N9? I'm new to android and thought android on the phones all had the same functions as they are all android? (a bit like an iPhone with iOS having pretty much the same thing as the iPod touch?)
I found out the feature from this http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...evice-protection-feature-and-how-do-i-use-it/ which also states "Right now (as in, at the time of this article), there is a single device with the feature currently enabled: the Nexus 6. The Nexus 9 will get device protection as well, but its Android 5.1 update has not yet rolled out. Nexus 4, 5, 7 (2012 and 2013), and 10 will not receive the factory reset Device Protection feature. "
want to hear your thoughts,
thanks

Are there any hardware providers who provide Android updates in a timely manner?

... other than google, I mean?
Point in case: Samsung SM-T560. new on the market at the end of 2015 (I think), runs android 4.4.4 right now, patch level from may 2016.
Point in case: Samsung S5, runs Android 6.0
Point in case: Samsung S6 Edge, runs Android 6.0.1.
Current Android version from upstream is 7.1.1, right?
Or to actually get to the point: which brand should I set my eyes for if I want to get my updates BEFORE they are obsolete?
Right now I'm shopping for a new tablet. And I would like one with LTE so the google pixel is not it.

If you want Google android updates very fast then go for Google phones. Google gives first updates to their phones even the updates in development or in preview stage then after other phones like HTC,SONY,LG or many others.
I don't think a google PHONE is an option when I'm looking for a TABLET. even more so as the pixel tablet does not even have LTE.

Samsung Tab A7(2020) SM-T500 forum?

Hey guys I have looked for a forum for samsung's new entry level tablet Tab A7(2020) SM-T500 and cannot find one. This device released in september and is decent alternative to amazon's fire tablet line. It does have some software shortcomings and came here looking to see if there is any developers working on it and no luck finding any. Does anybody know of development on this tablet at this time?
I was looking for the same thing. If the tablet proves popular, and I think it will, then it’ll eventually get a section on XDA.

What do we think are the odds of it being rootable? Is it just Verizon tablets (using a SM-T378V atm) that have issues with unlocking the bootloader? Is it just gonna be an issue of time since it was just released? I'm hoping that since it's Wi-Fi only it shouldn't have as many hoops to jump through. It's on sale at Wal-Mart atm for $170 atm so veryyy tempted to pull the trigger on upgrading

Yes. A7 have OTG.
My model is T505.
Another vote for a dedicated A7 forum. I just got mine, unlocked it, and rooted it. I'd like to have a section to watch for new threads related to this tablet.

It does have Android 11 now I just bought mine a few days ago and I had a crap ton of updates including Android 11 within that update and security patch for September
Be great if the Galaxy Tab A7 had a dedicated forum.
I've noticed this issue with the latest update from Samsung..
Since only recently updating to the latest software for this tablet I've encountered charging issues.
I've been charging the device using the standard cable it came with and instead of the tiny 1.5 Amp charger I've been using a 3.2 Amp which has worked fine until the update.
Since the update the tablet hardly charges at all.
After a full night on charge the device increases 15% battery life!
The tablet will also now NOT CHARGE when it is switched off!
I've noticed since the update the "fast charge" selection within the settings is permanently on and can't be turned off.
I've also noticed that if I use a 45 watt charger and cable for a laptop the device charges extremely fast while either on or off, however I don't have this charger or cable easily available simply to charge the tablet.
I mainly use this device in remote areas where fast charging isn't available and only standard chargers are available.
It would appear Samsung are forcing people to upgrade their entire charging network for 1 device that actually used to work perfectly prior to the update.
Can Samsung please undo this update that now makes standard charging unavailable to us mere mortals.

Question Wifi stopped working

Hi everyone,
Today my wifi just stopped working for about a half hour. It was very strange. I have been home and connected to my home wifi all day. I picked my phone up to look something up on Amazon and it just would not connect. I tried a few other apps and confirmed that it was the internet so I turned off my wifi and connected to cellular and everything worked fine. It was not my wifi because my wife's pixel 5a worked just fine. Her phone had full wifi and speed with no issues at all. I have Verizon FiOS gigabit and use nest wifi with one point. I checked my Google play system update and it said I had an update available but it was only 461 kb so I downloaded and installed reset the phone and it still says Feb 1 patch then it said I had another update I installed that one and the same results and again for a third time. It still says Feb 1 as the current Google play system update so I don't know what that was about. I am on the latest Android 12L. While this was going on if I turned my.wifinon it would connect to my home network and disconnect and reconnect imtermintantly. My phone also got a little hot and was lagging alot. And now it works just fine. Wifi is good not hot not lagging.
I am hoping it is just due to the beta software. And I really hope the phone is not about to die on me that would really suck.
I am not really too impressed with this phone. I should have listened to my instincts and waited for the pixel 7 because In all reality this is a first year phone. Google has always used Qualcomm and now they switched to Samsung plus they customized it on top of that so of course there was going to be issues. Even Samsung uses Qualcomm in the United States and not their own CPU there must be a reason for that. This.phonr does have great potential though and I'm sure they are going to work it all out.
The other thing I noticed is this is basically a galaxy pixel like the galaxy Nexus. The camera the CPU the ram I think the screen and who know what else is all.samsung made.
That's the price for being a beta tester.
I suggest that you find a Android 12L thread and ask there. Or go back to what works.
Here is a link to try,
[NEWS] The pixel 6 can finally have access to the latest beta of Android 12L!
Android 12L Beta 3 released! Last beta build of Android 12L is now going live for all supported Pixel devices! Pixel 6 owners finally can join the beta program! Release date: February 9, 2022 Build version: S2B3.220205.007.A1 Security Patch...
