[Discussion] Android 10

[Nomado]

So i got imported LG U+ galaxy S9+ and i don't live in South Korea. Last year I acquired LG U+ sim card and inserted into my card to register for the beta through Samsung Members app. I was able to register and participate in android 9 beta.
Today I found out about Android 10 beta, inserted that same sim card and registered and BAM, i have downloaded and installed the beta.
I like it so far except one thing back swiping gesture from the side is really nice but in XDA app, I can't swipe from left to right to bring out side bar. It just makes me go back. So hopefully, they fix it.
Secondly, swiping up from bottom middle and holding it there for recent apps just doesn't feel right. It just feels strange. Other android 10 phones, I used felt much nicer to bring out that recent apps but this beta one just feels strange and broke.

What kind of sim is that? And how do I get one, if possible?

This is because it's beta, it's normal.

Thanks for your fast response!

Just sharing my experience with this here.

I think that the India and the UK update.zip are one and the same as we could the see same version in screenshots posted.
When flashing this all that it matters is that you are on firmware version G965FXXU7CSK1 (as stated here before).
It can but it doesn't have to be INS from India. I flashed the latest UK firmware (which is multi-csc and also had SEE csc which is for my region). Probably some other countries are on G965FXXU7CSK1 as well.

I found Samsung SmartSwitch app to be very useful. Because I could back up all my apps, settings and data and later restore it on the new firmware I clean flashed via Odin. And then I flashed update.zip.

Anyway this worked, so thanks everyone with links and guides. :highfive:

Oh lol thanks. Its good to know, probably I look like idiot now, sharing second build, but I wasn't sure if they are similar or there is something different related to the region.

Don't worry man. The second build can't hurt.

Thanks guys!
I've updated to the beta firmware, with the update.zip file & the guide from this thread.

As this is a major android os update, I've made a factory reset (to avoid any possible problems) and everything seems ok.

The only problem is the Play Protect certification status from Play Store (Device is not certified).

Through Play Store search field, I can't even find Netflix app on play store.

I can find it from my Play Store library, although seems that "Your device isn't compatible with this version".

Any ideas how to fix..?
What's your Play Protect certification status?

Here is a nice lil fix for Netflix.

I'm on the Canadian S9+ so hopefully a beta update.zip gets released for our version at some point. By that I mean a US build that Canadians can switch to a US build then use.



NETFLIX FIX BELOW.


DOWNLOAD SAI APP FROM PLAY STORE:

Can anyone check if we have live focus for video also?
I tried searching in my beta update but can't figure out. Somewhere someone said it was there

No Live Fokus for Video on the S9+ with Beta 1. Which was expected.

I have XEU csc which is unlocked UK, I have the beta programme notification, but when I press enroll, it says server error, i found out that on top it writes : status- withdrawn.
I don't have UK sim but i have a sim which is not related or registered to any CSC.

That is the problem.
You do not only need the right CSC active, you also need the right SIM or Samsung Members would not switch to the right region and let you enroll in the beta program.

So far so good. I love it so much, everything is pretty smooth, the animations are very beautiful. The camera interface is litte buggy though. Would be nice to have live video focus.

yes, animations are really smooth
What is your problem with the camera interface?

 

[xiiihyou13]

Sooo, dexonpc works.

Probably it's on my end only or is confusing to me. When you select the front cam and some other mode it's start to flipping between the mods. I hope to make more organized in the last version.

Ok, same here.
But it might be by design.
Other manufactures have that since a long time.
When a Mode does not work with the front camera ist switches to the main one.
But it wont switch back...

So that might not be a bug and intead a feature.
But... I personally do not like that, too.

I did a factory reset on Android 9 just before updating to Android 10, so a problem on your side could not be the case.

yes, but it is not a really nice experience.
Only about 30fps with really high framtime differences.

There is option in developers setting to force every app to use dark mode. This is what I really waiting for. I understand it may not work for all apps and can make some conflict, but now I can have even dark Facebook.

I'll compare the dex performance on my hackintosh later. Testing on windows first

 

[albertobom]

Can someone test gaming performance, please on Android 10 ?
