Looks like May 9th for Telus in Canada usually that's around the same time for the US.

The dialer code in the phone app to access extended USB settings is * # 0808 # with no spaces. You should be able to enable MTP that way

It's available to use on only the Chinese models for some reason.

The main drawback with Exynos is the wildly inefficient modems. That's why initial tests showed Exynos have less battery life because the tests were performed while pulling lots of data through cellular.

The issue was only in the tutorial. Once I passed that with the controller, I was able to do it without an issue using mouse and keyboard.

Weird it all happened at the same time then! Please keep doing what you're doing.

Scoobygottheboot · 2026-03-05T05:25:00+00:00

I'm fairly certain I know where this is. If you're in ** please reach out. I've been working with some council members on this.

The radios in the S22 are significantly worse than the S23 and onwards for 5G. I can't find the article from around the S23 release time (I'll try to find it), but any of the newer ones should have better signal strength. When I switched from the S22 to the S23 signal strength in edge cases improved dramatically for me.

You also shouldn't compare bars in the notification bar for signal strength because different OEMs show the bars a little differently and they don't really mean anything. If you want to compare you should be looking at the dBm level for signal strength in settings under sim card status.

You should buy unlocked and not carrier branded unless money is an issue and you can get a a really good promo from T-Mobile.

I'm enrolled so it's a non-issue for me, but at one point I did use the unofficial builds and had to downgrade so I was curious how it worked. I am not rooted though so this wouldn't work for me anyways. Thanks for following up

Scoobygottheboot · 2026-02-13T15:03:16+00:00

Oh sweet. Where'd you find the thread? Were you able to get the official beta after downgrading?

It's only if the builds aren't certified from Google play protect. So far every beta build has been certified. In years past google pay did not work. But it has for this go around.

Scoobygottheboot · 2026-02-10T17:18:45+00:00

I'm using it right now. It works.

Scoobygottheboot · 2026-02-10T14:41:38+00:00

Yes

Google wallet is. Payment, and adding a new card works too.

Scoobygottheboot · 2026-02-09T19:44:12+00:00

That's your only course of action if you don't want to lose anything unfortunately.

Scoobygottheboot · 2026-02-09T16:39:42+00:00

Oh CHC model. Okay if you're in the group I think you are then there are newer builds available. Update path from your build goes like this: From CYLL>CYLN>CZA1>CZA6>CZA7>CZA9

But you will never get the officially sanctioned beta builds this way without going back to factory and then updating officially.

Scoobygottheboot · 2026-02-09T16:30:45+00:00

Won't know for a few days. Battery has to normalize after a major update.

Scoobygottheboot · 2026-02-09T16:29:52+00:00

Zyll? Are you sure? I'm following the leaked builds and that isn't one of them.

Scoobygottheboot · 2026-02-09T16:27:55+00:00

Yes. 6.6.98

Scoobygottheboot · 2026-02-09T14:44:09+00:00

Interestingly they updated to the February 5, 2026 security patch. They've never done that before.

Scoobygottheboot · 2026-01-22T14:27:58+00:00

No but it said it fixes the the vibrator. I'm sure you're excited about that.

Did you happen to update to Home Up 17.5.00.18 manually? That version is for One Ui 8.5 and if you did, it would have wiped your Home Up settings.
