Are any of you guys using the XDA version of the ROM and with the Wakelock fix enabled noticing that after some time the wakelock starts going hayware by itself?

If it showing 61 wakelock in 21 hrs then it is normal. As explained in previous page still wakelock will happen while screen is on on XDA version, but that doesn't make much drainage as device is alrteady awake.
Once try disabling fix and keep device in pocket and walk for few minutes, it will show difference.
Also I suggest you to use BBS instead of Gsam app and look into Partial wakelocks, which will show better stats and battery drain with wakelocks

I'm having lock screen issue after reboot. If i set any secure lock like 4 numbers .fingerprint....., i'll get situation like the file attached. Only slide to unlock will be fine. Can anyone help?

When you seeking help, media should be in English so other can read what is written/error there

Right? They just can't understand... So many people from so many countries and different languages and most ask for help and supply with supportive stuff in their own language. Like we are all obliged to speak everyone's languages..

That's one of the reasons all MY devices are in English, preferably American one (I prefer words such as "favorite" instead "favourite", for example).

You clearly speak and write English, so what's your problem...

Your phone having both eSIM and Dual Sim menu option is some sort of mistake and likely just due to a regional bug in the software. Once you install the ROM and change the CSC (region) then the simcard options will likely just be DS.

Just looking to clarify. I haven't rooted yet but my 998B/DS has both dual SIM and eSIM. When I switch to eSIM, which I did when I went to the US last month and used an Ubigi eSIM, it switched off the second SIM and when I got back and turned on the second SIM, it switched off the eSIM. TLDR: I can choose dual SIM or primary SIM plus eSIM. That's not something I am willing to give up if you are saying installing Dr Ketan's ROM will take this away.

Guys,
Anyone on R06 using wakelock fix? How much battery drained improved?

Well that is indeed peculiar. If you went to the US and the esim function worked, then it is not a bug as i initially thought. The strange thing is that we have the same model phone but I don't have the esim option. However, my CSC is EUR. And yours must be different. Installing the KETAN rom does not change the CSC so logically the esim option would remain there. But @dr.ketan should confirm just in case.

I am using the ROM TOOL PRO wakelock fix and the battery seems to be doing fine. I don't think it is draining much. However, before applying the fix it was indeed draining quite fast.

I imported mine from Amazon Germany. My service provider software version is
SAOMC_SM-998B_OXM_DBT_RR_0010
DBT/DBT.DBT/EUX/DBT

I just assumed mine was the same as all other 998B from Europe. Makes it even more difficult when sourcing a phone if you cannot be sure what you are getting.

I was really pleased I could use an eSIM in the US as I did not have to try and find a local SIM and when I am home I normally use two local SIMs.

EDIT: By the way, Samsung Germany has a good record of replying to questions about specification of new phones asked on Amazon.de. They even answered a couple of mine before I bought it.

@dr.ketan Hi Doc! How can i disable fullscreen gesture? Long press to disable isn't working in tweaks pro.

Edit: All good now.

I also just turned it on and wanted it off immediately but long press and reboot doesn't work.

Go to the settings of the phone, then disable and re-enable the nav bar and press whatever you see and it will re-appear.

Edit: I noticed you figured it out but I don't know how to delete my post now

 

[babyboy3265]

I have 2 question regarding the ROM tool PRO.

1. has anyone tried the battery protector option that charges it to 85% max and is it safe?

2. Has anyone tried turning on the volume boost options and what is the difference? Any issues?

I am not sure if this is the right place to ask, but since I am using dr ketans roms for a long time and never encountered this, I will try. I am trying to do a backup via TitaniumBackup and I simply can't copy the folder with files. Seems permission related, I tried some suggestions like chmod 755 via twrp, but it doesn't do the trick. If I copy something into the folder, I can copy those files out, but the files that are made my TitaniumBackup on the device, I can't. It just says "something went wrong"

 

[Xaro2491]

It is possible that Titanium Backup is too old for Android 11. The last update of this app was at the end of '19. I also had problems with restoring apps and app datas. There is a better and newer app to make backups. Its called Swift Backup.

I don't know, it seems to still be a de facto standard. @dr.ketan since tb is included, can the folder be unlocked by default in some newer version of rom, or maybe via Pro Tools for subscribers?

As said above TB is mess now and should earlier go with other tool (I am using Swift Backup).
Try this
Copy TitaniumBackup folder on root of storage →
In Titanium → menu → preference → backup folder location → select Storage provider file system (click here) → selectDocumenProvide storage → it will open file explorer, set TitaniumBackup folder you keep on Int storage - and then select allow.
