Samsung seems to think this is fixable via a software update - in fact they have supposedly released 2 of them. . . if you live in the right country that is. I've decided to return mine. It is simply unusable if it's plugged in.

The flashing that I was experiencing was directly tied to Smart Stay. Since turning it off, it has not occurred. :)

Damn, I'm sorry to hear that. I've gotten up to 9 hours of SoT with my US Snapdragon model. And that was even with the CameraLightSensor issue. I didn't even know it was a thing until reading this thread. I originally stopped by thinking it was part of my ring issue.

Yeah - I think they were two different issues - Auto Brightness causing CameraLightSensor to be active all of the time and then Smart Stay causing the ring flash that I noticed as well.

Yes - Whether on the home screen, in a call, or in an app, there is a perfect "ring" (if you will) about 3-5 pixels wide around the camera that goes black for a split second or so and then changes back to the color of whatever it was displaying (think background color of a chrome tab, phone...

I spoke too soon. Even with auto brightness turned off, the flashing ring of pixels around the camera still persist. ? Edit: Sent in an error report along with two of them about the screen sensitivity issues.

Same thing on my T-Mobile model - 3.1% over 9 hours. I have not checked my unlocked model, as its still in the box. Have you noticed the 'ring" of pixels around the camera changing color to black when using the phone? I notice it mostly when browsing the web, or on a phone call. Hard to...

I have the factory unlocked version and have noticed a little bit of strangeness with scrolling as well. Unfortunately there isn't a day one patch on the unlocked version.

Got mine a bit ago. To be honest, i can't tell the difference between the S20 FE and the Note 20 I have been using while waiting for it to arrive. The S20 FE doesn't have the video enhancer setting, which may or may not make a difference. But also I noted in a super quick camera test, that the...

When I ordered mine, Samsung told me I had to wait until it shipped. I traded in an iPhone 11 Pro, which took the phone down to $55.00 US. After it shipped I messaged them back, and they told me they couldn't refund more than I paid, so they gave me a $110.00 Samsung Credit code within about 2...

That's a big nope for the unlocked US version. Perhaps the same website for the Note 20 / Ultra will work? I tried it but it told me I could only make one request per phone number. Which is a bummer as I have a Note 20 and an S20 FE now. https://form.p1care.com/sea/ivr-n20

If that's the case, then chances are that the bands that are enabled / disabled are based on the carrier's firmware that is installed on the device. I didn't check to see what bands were available before the flash. I can always flash it to a stock rom this weekend, but my bet is that when you...

Pretty sure that all of the bands are unlocked, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to get T-Mobile Sub6 5G on a phone that came from Verizon, which is mmWave.

I switched carrier firmware on my S20+, and am able to get T-Mobile 5G without issue. Also, tossing in that code gets me this: NR5G: 41-NSA 71-NSA 260-NSA 261-NSA Hope that helps!

When I first got the phone, it had the ATT ringtones on it, but I never noticed the boot screen being ATT. After the flash though, those were (and are) completely gone. And when I first put my sim in there, I didn't see any ATT apps on it at all. Edit: Should have noted that I bought it used...
