N9860 5g HK Android 11 update is here 😁 - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu

Hey guys, I'm downloading Android 11 update on my N9860 HK note 5 as of now. At last

Congrats, man would you please check Android Auto in the car - does it work?

I didn't like the update at all - ugly interface and the phone is now freezing a lot even after wiping cache partition. The old Android was buttery smooth!
I also noticed that Night Mode takes A WAY longer to process the final image vs old Android that was taking just a few seconds. Can someone please check this and confirm for HK version?

I can barely notice a difference. No change in performance. No stuttering. The biggest interface change I've noticed is the style of buttons for the SIM unlock screen. Otherwise everything feels the same.
I tried a night mode photo. I'm not sure how quick it was before, but it seems what I would expect. Maybe any delay is due to superior processing.
Overall I'd say the upgrade experience is practically invisible unless you want to go ploughing through all the menus. I don't care to do that. I have no need to.

Help G2 running VERY slowly

I have a G3 and a mate has given me his G2 to sort out. The basic problem is it runs extremely slowly, eg you can only type 1 character every 2 seconds. He doesn't want to root it so options are a bit limited. I reset it and it was still slow, I have now flashed the latest version of lollipop (cse flash) and its still so slooooow, anyone got any ideas...? Many Thanks

When you "reset it" what do you mean.. you turned the phone on and off, or did you reflash the KK firmware with the LG Flash Tool? Enable Developer Options and go to "Geeky stats about processes" or something like that.. anything hogging resources? Also if you're wanting to optimize the phone.. I wouldn't go putting early stage Lollipop onto it. Maybe when 5.1 comes out sure but right now.. still a lot of problems. And one last question.. I assume your friend has kept this phone completely stock from day 1?

Hi, thanks for coming back, my mate performed a hard reset of the phone (effectively a fresh install) before giving it to me. I then flashed Lollipop using the
LG Flash Tool. It's still exactly the same, scrolling lags 1/2 second behind your finger its so slow. I tried Lollipop as I thought it would be a real fresh start. The phone is
and always been completely stock (un-rooted).
Geeky stats shows normal memory usage, system load is typically 9-11 over the last 1,5, 15 minutes....
I'm stumped, if I could root it, I could use system panel or perfmon to see exactly what was going on...
This is so weird, its like its running on 1 cpu core at 300Mhz - the effects are the same.

Really Slow

Am I the only one experience problems with the phone being slow after few hours of usage? I use it for SNapchat, Facebook and Instagram. Nothing else, and it takes minutes to load the apps. I have contacted Nokia Support and they won't help. So I was hoping if a happy soul would be helpful and help answering my question!
EDIT! Huge thanks to Lincoln357 for a temp fix until Android 9 is released!
Hey guys,
I was very annoyed with Nokia 5 performance, contacted the support and they told me that all of that will be fixed in the next big update (Android 9, Q1 2019), so I poked around like I usually do and managed to speed up my phone significantly. This is what I did: first, enable developer settings, dial down animations to 0.5x or even off, then enable GPU rendering as well as tether hardware acceleration, set 4 processes in the background and voila! Phone is much much faster and more responsive, it almost feels like another device! Try this, you have nothing to lose.
I usually find closing down all of the open apps(Press the menu button to open task manager then swipe the applications to the left) usually helps. Failing that a power off then back on again. At least once a week
Thats weard
My Nokia 5 works perfectly with Android 8 and apps like Snapchat etc.
As I bought it I disabled most of the GoogleApps, like Google Music or Google Mail and most of the time the phone runs very smooth.
The only (small) problem I have is that Android close Snapchat in the background, so it needs a few seconds till I can use the app. But except this, I've never had any problem like you
Maybe you must clear the cache once a week with an app like CCleaner or your internal storage is full and Android have problems to works good
Otherwise go the settings and look what app uses much rescources
I hope that it helped you a bit

2 options: roll back to Nougat or restart your phone every day or two. I found that when you get used to restarting, it's not that bad. Before going to sleep set alarm clock and just restart the damned thing. Or in the morning while having a coffee or getting dressed. Every day the phone is like new. And RAM is cleaned up, so it can store more apps (that works I believe with all the phones) (Nokia 5 is capable of holding 15+ apps in the background for a full day after restart and like 4-5 after 2 days).
Yeah, here too. When I got the phone it was running Nougat 7.1.2 and updated same evening to Oreo. I haven't got a chance to see how it worked on Nougat but now phone is slow, laggy, sometimes unresponsive etc. I also contacted Nokia support but there's no help from them. My kid has Ulefone S7 with MTK CPU and 2 gigs of ram and that phone is lightning fast compared to mine, which is absurd, it even has better Antutu score. Fact is that Oreo for Nokia 5 isn't polished enough and makes the phone slow and Nokia itself won't do anything about it yet.
Uninstall Facebook, wipe cache

I had the same problem after updating Nokia 5 to Android 8.1. This is how I fixed it:
1. Uninstall Facebook and Instagram - they are notorious resource hogs
2. Wipe cache partition (no need for factory reset)

Doesn't work for me. I've tried before to tweak Nokia 5, no avail!
Now i can even FREEZE the System with google Earth!!! Just like i did in my previous NOKIA 5. You just have to browse on GE, jumping from site to site, and eventually, Nokia 5 will crack! This show up massive problems with, maybe memory, I/O... i don't really know, but this hardware has severe faults in it...

But 4 processes aren't much...?
I think that the system would kill almost every app in the background... The phone should be faster, but the apps need more time to start

Did not work for me.
The best thing that worked for me was to install apps to manage the apps that BOOT up with the phone... even though i don't understand that logic, because after using ALL in ONE TOOLBOX, and disabling all the APPS, and enabling them again, i had then fewer apps on the list... I don't fully understand this mechanism...
Still, i'm going nuts with my SECOND NOKIA 5!
It's performance is problematic, i can crash it in a few minutes with apps like Google Earth, etc. Using this phone is a real PAIN: https : //community.phones.nokia.com/support/discu*ssions/topics/7000022723
Can you please tell me what's the SPEED of the INTERNAL MEMORY (write speed) that you are getting? I'm having a discussion here, and someone says that there is NOT possible that a MEMORY CARD could have better performance than the internal memory, BUT IT DOES! In both my NOKIA 5 (one i returned, the other... still problematic!)
I've used https : //play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co*m.a1dev.sdbench
and https : //play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=co*m.andromeda.androbench2
Results are consistent!
BOTH internal memory and CARD have 50 to 60Mb/s WRITE SPEED! This is NONSENSE! :\
Any other phone even with unknown chinese brands have MUCH higher internal memory WRITE speed...
This solution worked beautifully for me especially after i did a factory reset aswell. Also got a expansion card and installing most of the apps on it. Seems to be the OS quite a bit if the crappy internal memory card isn't too full
After much trouble I decided to switch to Xiaomi and I didn't regret it! The phone with the same amount of ram and quad core newer CPU works much faster than Nokia 5. Games are loading faster, there's no lag at all, everything is pretty much better. Couldn't wait for Android 9 to see if it would speed up the phone and Nokia support didn't help me at all. This phone is even a bit cheaper than Nokia was 4 months ago. My problems are solved.

It is very laggy. At least on my phone. C.33 was way better.
My keyboard is stuttering while I'm typing this message, too.

I see no differences in performance between both updates on mine
That is weird but expected. Not everyone is getting the same experience on updates. I wonder what is the cause of it
I agree, it is very laggy.
Particularly when unlocked but also when using Google Chrome.
I regret having my phone updated.

Hopefully a new patch is going to come out early next month. Anyway, it's really bad especially if you have it as primary device like me.
No any performance drop after update.
I solved most of the performance issues by formatting data from recovery. Pretty bad anyway
I have done all the updtas till now but it's the first time that i take an update that almost destroying my phone use.
So that the reason i wrote the following for an expensive mobile phone!
So that's what is happening:
All the performance is much slower!
Every few minutes the phone will just lag SEVERELY with big stutters.
When i am playing a game like Last Shelter then the game lags, screen stops scrolling up down or left right for few seconds.
Now i have not Gmail notification no matter what i do!
Many times when i open camera image that i want to photo on my screen is blinking like a Christmas tree!!! Must close camera app and open it again for fixing the problem.
Battery last less for the same use!
I can not write a message correctly, for all aps that i use, at the keyboard because of 1 or more seconds lag write the word and after a while i see the whole word i wrote!
Also i touch letter E and keyboard write the number 3 lag lag lag!
Try to scroll up down at settings menu or firefox or chrome screen reading an article and the screen stops going up or down for a hole second, can not keep reading that way!
Unbelievable update!
REALme i think that's the last time that i buy such an expensive phone from you!
I expected more serious job for such phones!

Man I understand the anger and I with you with that.
Anyway, try a couple of stuff to mitigate: factory reset will make things a little bit better, but most of all, go in the process manager and shut down all the processes. This will not solve this garbage of an update, but it will make things a little bit better.

I can Not do factory reset to built up again the phone i need 2 days and i have not so much time. Every time that upgrade a phone you should do factory reset, where realme says that?
Its a flagship phone for REALme i bought it for better performance and better customer support i see none of them.
i have done everything i know till now and nothing solved that seriously problems!
Thanks a lot man!
I had many other problems with this model that 7 months i have bought that new phone.
Sorry but thats a bad company?
After almost one week of usage I can confirm, this update is a complete BS. The phone is lagging like hell.
I think now this phone is like my old lg g6, maybe worse. And I'm not exaggerating. Very, very disappointed by Realme.
I think the LG g6 is better than the X2 pro with c.34 right now
Just made some tests and I gotta tell you that deactivating facial recognition the phone works better overall. Not fixed by any means, but at least it's smoother and for some reason battery draining is fixed.
Keyboard lags, gaming performance and clunkyness due to touch sensitivity is still there don't misjudge. But at least we can survive untill c.35 or RUI 2.0
Things are getting worse.
4g stops working every day. I need to reset the phone every time to be able to use data outside. Wifi ok.
This is getting ridiculous.
Can I go back to .33? Can I downgrade easily?

I submitted a thread on the c.realme community about that but I don't think it's available as an option. I think the only way is go back to color os 6 and then upgrade to c.33
Let's hope that with realme ui 2.0 they'll sort things out. I give it 1 month to fix this mess (I'm so patient), after that if things get fixed I'll forgive Realme, otherwise I'm going to sell my phone and advice against this sh**.

I do not want to install this update all over again.
Thanks for the suggestion tho.

Rollback from Android 11 to Android 10 Galaxy Tab S5e

Today I received OTA update for my Galaxy Tab S5e and I completely hate it. The blur in the recent apps view, notification panel and apps drawer is just garbage. Used to have a nice, AMOLED animated background (it's literally called AMOLED) and now every time I open any of the mentioned panels it'll freeze and blur GREY. So that black background would look like garbage.
I gave up on the animated wallpaper and decided to just go with a black image as a background to save battery. Same issue, blur makes background grey turning on my AMOLED pixels and wasting battery.
Overall, and because of this ****ty blur, the system feels slower than before. I used to love my tablet, and now my experience is completely ruined.
What I want is to rollback from Android 11 to Android 10 and turn off the updates once and for all. I don't wanna install a custom ROM because I really enjoyed previous version of OneUI. Samsung just ****ed my experience.
I don't care if I have to (of course I do have duh) factory reset and lose data, or at least backup it. But I wanna know if it's possible to downgrade without hard bricking the tablet.
If it's not, well I'm selling this ****. Used to be a very nice, smooth, transparent (no blur), tablet experience. Now it seems like a 10yo designed it (yes I'm talking to you notification panel buttons tf).
I'll probably buy an iPad after all this crap if Samsung doesn't get their **** together. At least give us an option to turn the ****ing blur off !!!!

Hi P
I think it could be as simple as
1 boot tablet into download mode
2 find your correct firmware for android 10
3 get odin on your pc and plug your tablet in
4 unzip and put the android 10 firmware into odin and flash
This is just what I think, but I am sure there is someone else who will know
Try looking at locking boot loader on s10, very similar setup to the s5e
All the best

You are correct. The only caveat is early versions of Android 10 won't flash as the tablet can't be "downgraded". You will need a recent version of Android 10 to downgrade. So find the newest version of 10 you can for your region / tablet (otherwise Odin will give you an error).
I'm curious @pramhaihefa, how did this go for you?
Since the downgrade, has Sammy tried to push the OTA upgrades back to you to get you back on Android 11?
I just got an S5E, and I'm being pushed to A11, but I'm a bit concerned if it might eventually cause challenges when I root.
As of today you can still use ODIN to downgrade to the latest Android 10 on Sanmobile without issues. I just did it to get my dual BT audio feature back.
@drewwho, I think date for latest Android 10 is fixed. Do you remember which image from Sanmobile you flashed?

Upgraded to STABLE Android 12 One UI 4? How's it going?

I'm curious to know from those who updated/flashed to the STABLE (NOT BETA, please!), how is your phone working so far? Do you have any issues? Were the issues from the BETA resolved?
Format: (So that it's easier for people to associate with their device)
- Model: Snapdragon/Exynos
- Openline or Branded
- Updated via OTA or Flashed
- Dirty flash or FULL reset?
- Issues:
- What do you like/dislike:
Your post will greatly help the community.
Hopefully carriers will start pushing the Android 12/One UI 4 update for the Note 20/Ultra OTA this upcoming week. The S21 on VZW pushed it OTA the same day as the European roll out, so maybe its not too far behind for US carrier branded Note models.
-Exynos
-Unbranded
-Flashed with Odin (Switzerland firmware)
-No issues detected
I generally like the new animations, the new popup PiP design (rounded corner and possibility of resizing the window), battery life seems to be as good as before. The possiiblity of making AoD turn on when receiving a notification is nice and resembles the old Motorola active display feature. New Pro Mode layour for camera is better. I also enjoy the integration of the same animation for loading screen system wide, it's a nice touch even though I think the animation itself could be better. The gesture system from Google (Swipe from sides and bottom) now is usable with a 3rd party launcher, though it's still a bit clunky.
The only thing I dislike is the brightness bar in the notification tray which is now "tall" all the time and takes more space.
I must say that I didn't notice any particular difference coming from the second Beta (for Exynos there were only 2 beta releases), the first one was a bit clunky but the second was already well cooked. As far as I've seen there are no new issues introduced with this release, the 2 I knew of that were introducd with Android 11 still stand: Samsung gestures (swipe from bottom, the 3 way one) don't work as smoothly as in Android 10 because the recents gesture is not interactive and triggers only on finger release, the "currently playing" notification in the tray sometimes resets (when you reboot for instance it appears showing the last thing you were listening to).
Overall I'm happy about the update, it's a minor one for sure but they succeeded in not screwing up.

Thank you for this, @Sprov!
How about on connectivity, WiFi, Cellular, 5G, WiFi Calling/VoLTE, don't you have any issues? Connecting to BT devices like Buds Pro or any audio devices, Google AUTO etc.?

Everything as smooth as always, now that I think about it I had to pair again the Buds Pro during the first Beta (it was working at the beginning though) because the media would play but there was no sound output. In my area there's no 5G to test. 4G and calls fine as before, WiFi, GPS all alright. I don't use Android Auto
I have two very annoying issues with One UI 4:
- Overheat
- bad animations (lag, fps drop and etc)
-Exynos -Unbranded -Flashed with Odin (Switzerland firmware) -No issues detected I generally like the new animations, the new popup PiP design (rounded corner and possibility of resizing the window), battery life seems to be as good as before. The possiiblity of making AoD turn on when receiving a notification is nice and resembles the old Motorola active display feature. New Pro Mode layour for camera is better. I also enjoy the integration of the same animation for loading screen system wide, it's a nice touch even though I think the animation itself could be better. The gesture system from Google (Swipe from sides and bottom) now is usable with a 3rd party launcher, though it's still a bit clunky. The only thing I dislike is the brightness bar in the notification tray which is now "tall" all the time and takes more space. I must say that I didn't notice any particular difference coming from the second Beta (for Exynos there were only 2 beta releases), the first one was a bit clunky but the second was already well cooked. As far as I've seen there are no new issues introduced with this release, the 2 I knew of that were introducd with Android 11 still stand: Samsung gestures (swipe from bottom, the 3 way one) don't work as smoothly as in Android 10 because the recents gesture is not interactive and triggers only on finger release, the "currently playing" notification in the tray sometimes resets (when you reboot for instance it appears showing the last thing you were listening to). Overall I'm happy about the update, it's a minor one for sure but they succeeded in not screwing up.
I guess the Swiss version won't work with BTU?

It works with BTU, in Odin use home_csc for retaining your data.
Clean install here and everything is smooth and I feel it have a better battery life then before..

Hello ,
Exynos
Phone buy Samsung Shop web
Flash with Odin PC , Switzerland firmware
Just update , i became from beta 2 , i use home csc . I conserve all data
My phone is more smooth , more reactive . For battery , it's difficult to say it's more better . Good works .
Codec LDAC is functional since a few update , i like that with my Soundcore Life Q35 .
I like this update but it's not a big update .

Not sure about the high temperature, but I read in other forums that factory reset can't fix the laggy animations. I think for this we need to spam on Samsung Support. Also, I did heavy debloat with some PC app, and seems the battery life is drastically improved. I may share the result in a few days.

Does LDAC stick once it's enabled or do you have to keep enabling it? Do you also need to go into developer settings to activate it?
Sucks. On my Verizon it killed the top of the display; first row of icons. Posted a thread in Q&A.
My advice is: Don't!
Immediately used adb app control to kill updates.
Now what?
I'm still on beta three, I haven't had any issues with any of the releases myself 986U1 ATT
- Model: Exynos
- Branded
- Flashed
- Dirty flash for starters, then did a FULL reset?
- Issues: Lots of little ones, Bluetooth Buds continually disconnecting as well as Galaxy Watch 4, Alarm keeps turning off when hit snooze button instead of snoozing,Google Assistant does not always work with voice wake up, this is a problem when driving. Plus a couple of other small things I can't remember at the moment.
- What do you like, most things I like, Dislike that Android Auto for Phone screens no longer supported, have to use Assistant Driving Mode that does not work in landscape mode and is absolute rubbish.
I have now gone back to Android 11, till I see that these problems are fixed.
I did try the Beta version before the stable one, and that have most of these issues as well, so thought should have been fixed for stable release.

I'm curious to know from those who updated/flashed to the STABLE (NOT BETA, please!), how is your phone working so far? Do you have any issues? Were the issues from the BETA resolved?

- Model: Snapdragon/Exynos
