News: Android 10 beta coming soon - Samsung Galaxy S10e Guides, News, & Discussion

https://www.droid-life.com/2019/09/17/report-samsung-launching-android-10-beta-next-month/

do we need to subscribe beta program?

Probably... The details haven't been announced yet.

Any new about it

Looks like the beta is currently available in Korea, and will probably be available through the Samsung Members app later this week.

But I am from Argentine. And here don't come the beta. Any advice to get it?

Just curious, do any of you think if I change my location with a VPN I will be able to get the Beta that was already released in Korea?

I try and when I change my vpn and open samsung members the APK fails

Check this

It's currently available in the US through Samsung Members for Sprint and T-Mobile only.

One UI 2 beta adds spacing at the bottom of every app which serves no purpose. There are lot of bugs here and there but I have not noticed any app crashes as such.

I am from spain, and I have just installed the beta too.
It has some lag, screen mode seems that always is in vivid instead natural, and still sometimes the screen wake up like if you tap the power button. There are a lot to polish.
Regards

I joined the UI 2 beta but found it much more buggy than previous Samsung betas (like 8 -> 9) and quite honestly there was no discernable difference for my use case scenario. Samsung does a very good job polishing its take on Android so that the next version doesn't seem that much of an upgrade. It reminds me of iOS and macOS upgrades where you need to read up about the differences otherwise you might not realise what was new. Given that is the case I decided to withdraw from the beta program and revert to Android 9 using Odin. For me there were no advantages and many disadvantages in running UI 2 at this stage. I got display glitches like mentioned above, neither Google Pay nor Samsung Pay worked, the navigation bar kept reverting to the old on-screen icon system and UI 2 did not play well with my launcher of choice, Nova. Yes, there are 'solutions' like not using Nova and maybe doing a hard reset after upgrading, but for me it just isn't worth the hassle for no obvious return.

Beta ROM?
Anyway to force subscribe to the beta program, or just get the ROM to flash manually?

Just flash the ROM through Odin and you're done. The only downside is that each time a new beta or the final release comes out, you have to flash it with the help of Odin because the OTA updates are tied to the Samsung Members app.

BTW, what about the image quality of the S10e in Android 10 Beta 6? Did they improve it compared to Android 9 Pie?

[Q] Should I update to the new android market or not?

I'm running stock 2.3.3 and I'm still on the old market software (2.3.4). Will my handset update to the new market automatically? Are there any benefits to the new market besides the improve GUI? (I'm desperately hoping the search is improved!)
As much I'd like the fancy new look of the new market, I'm wary of updating due to the new auto-update feature in case my phone has a dodgy eMMC. Is there anyway to disable the auto-update feature before it gets chance to start?
Please note, the new market is very very slow...
Not much of an upgrade apart from the visual changes

The earlier versions of the new market were slow, eg 3.1.5, but the new one is much better, i.e. 3.3.11
Plus, the new version prevents simultaneous installs and crashes, with apps being installed sequentially. I've been flashing new ROMs with the new market, and my apps all reinstall automatically, i've never faced a hangup yet!
Plus, the new market gives you a one-click abort to stop installation of all apps in one go... unlike the old one where you had to cancel each app one by one... Also, there is the option to only update when on wifi. Saves mobile data package and if you have that option checked, and you're not on wifi, your apps wont update at all!!
I would definitely recommend the new market.
The good news is that the new version had a setting to disable auto updates.
The bad news is that Oli is right. For the sake of a fancy UI, it's slower, laggy, and will frequently tell you updates are available for apps when in fact they are not. The latest version 3.3.11 is slightly better than previous efforts, but i still have to abort updates, clear data, and get false update notifications.
If you are on stock and not rooted, google will be pushing this polished turd onto your phone soon.

Yeah, I forgot to mention that wnp
It is slightly better with the new 3.3.11 compared to 3.x.x but could still do with a speed boost!
Market 3.2.0 was just released a few days ago! Wonder what changes it brings!
@enigmaamit wow never knew that! So are you saying that it could be safe to hit auto update on all apps, as it does it one by one? No more chance of a fried Emmc chip?

Yup, i've updated around 15 apps at one go, and the install occurs sequentially instead of simultaneously.
No issues so far (four different ROM flashes with the new market)
The biggest issue for me with the 3.x markets is that "compatibility check" of the application with the device registered. Since there are not too many of you complaining, I presume you are not using a non-standard screen density. If you do it, market will show for many application the "application is not compatible..." message and you're not allowed to download it. 240 screen density (standard for HDPI devices) is too big for my taste, I prefer something like 200-210. In this case alot of applications designed for HDPI cannot be installed (Skype for ex is one of them, but there are many).
Adding this on top of the slowness of the new market, makes me using the "old" 2.3.6 version which is perfect. Unfortunately this version was giving FCs with the ICS ROM I've tested (the alpha from superkid) so I am wondering if it will work at all on ICS or I should be forced to upgrade to the latest market (which is something I don't want).
If somebody finds out a way to bypass this compatibility check, please share, it is very annoying
Thanks for your input guys. I think I'm going to wait until the new market is pushed to my phone. Hopefully by then some more of the bugs might have been worked out. I'm in no rush.

Battery drain issues, lock screen lag, etc, about 4.3 and S III
My THL W100 mobile phone is Android 4.2, don't know how to upgrade to the Android 4.3, let alone the Android 4.4.

I am very disappointed in Samsung because of 4.3. release. They did horrible job. That release has almost 0 software features from Galaxy S4 (and it was officially promised back when S4 was released that "almost all of them" will arrive on the S3). Not only that, but everything about the release itself is bad..it has lag and different issues all over the place.
I don't understand why this has happened, but pissing of 40 million S3 users is very bad move if you ask me. Maybe they became to successful for their own good.

I'm very disappointed by the 4.4 "Release".
Google has completely dropped the ball on this one, it's been more than a week and NOTHING besides some half-assed source release which developers now have to cobble together with old binaries to make it stagger along.
If Google continues to "release" this way in the future there will be hell to pay in the form of lost customers.

Are you sure? I surely hope you're right, because installing a custom ROM is not an option for me; even if the are some stable builds, issues like Bluetooth not working and others are holding me off.

Yes, Samsung has, as of today, stopped rolling out 4.3 and is working on fixing the issues. So expect a new release soon.
This is brilliant news, then!

Hello everyone!​
I decided to make a thread, where we can discuss the upcoming update for our lovely device Galaxy S9+. Maybe it's too early for this discussion, or not? I hope the moderators don't mind... I'm very excited about the update and a little bit frustrated that we will not get the beta first. I may upgrade to Note 10+, but I'm not yet sure, because I love too much my S9+ - the design, the screen, feels like everything is perfect though. Only miss the wide-angle camera
27.11.2019
The beta program just started! Currently available in India, Korea, and the UK. Thanks to SamMobile we had the first build which you can find below.

Breaking: Samsung Galaxy S9 Android 10 update released!​
Samsung has released the Android 10 update for the Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S9+. The update is rolling out in Germany at the moment for those who are on Android Pie. Yes, the final build of Android 10 is yet to be released for those who are on the One UI 2.0 beta, though that is probably going to change soon.

From where to download the stock firmware
I see people still asking from where to download it, since @sammobile[/user] need premium acc for faster download. There are a few alternatives that are very easy to use and I thought everyone Samsung fan knows them but it seems I was wrong. Gonna share them here.
1. Updato.com
This is for people who don't want to install any additional software. However, seems full of ads. If that doesn't bother you, use it.
2. SamFirm 0.3.6
It's deprecated but still working though.
3. Frija
This is the most updated with very nice interface. I would recommend it.

Notes, related to the beta builds:
1. I think it was a mention somewhere but will write it here also. Both files are in .bin format. You need to rename them in update .zip so you can flash them through stock recovery.
2. You can't flash it directly if you are rooted, need to be completely sock - this includes the stock recovery. Also, you should be on this firmware G965FXXU7CSK1/G965FOXM7CSJ5/G965FXXU7CSJ5/G965FXXU7CSK1. When new beta's come out you will need to flash them as the way they came out, like beta1->beta2 and etc.
3. The USA and Korean builds are not compatible with the rest models. Be careful what you flash on your device. By the tip to remove them to not lead to confusion, I will separate them below in the spoiler. The authors of the files can feel free to make a new thread about the specific device.

Notes, related to Android 10:
You can't install any more custom fonts on Android 10 unless you are rooted.
Check the Galaxy store for your favorite font. If it's there you can buy it and use it.
Swift Installer, Substratum doesn't work anymore on S9/ S9+ like before.
You need will the Synergy. However for me isn't working at all, so basically I can't use any substratum theme or mod. On the other hand Hex Installer works very well and I will recommend it.
Blocking ads with DNS still working.
Technically, there is no reason to not be able to receive OTA, after flashing stable DBT version with Odin. Just make sure you don't use CSC (use HOME_CSC instead) file to wipe everything and break something with your current CSC. I personally flashed CSC file by mistake, my CSC didn't change it but now I can't receive OTA. No big deal for me will flash it manually when there is a new update.
OTA files won't wipe anything. Some user reports that his phone is wiped after OTA, but this usually is impossible. A good idea is always to make a backup with Smart Switch before any procedure of this kind.

Yes, ROOT is possible on Android 10. Check THIS thread to see the steps for rooting.
I'll stick with my s9+ Exynos Oreo bc it runs perfectly. Smooth. No issues. Just an amazing reliable phone with idan GCam 3.5. What could be so good with android 10 that it's worth upgrading?

I regret having gone on foot
The battery drains very fast, 4 hours of SOT when I go for a 20% battery.
The front camera for some reason overexposes the photos, does not take them as in the preview
I use Gcam, if with that software it is possible to take incredible photos having this fabulous lens, I do not understand how it is possible that Samsung does not take advantage of it by developing a good camera application
I haven't seen anything in Android 10 that would make me want to update as soon as possible. What are you looking forward to? TBH I'd be happy in Oreo lol
lol guys, didn't expect those answers, to be honest I personally, like to stay up to date, trying new stuff, new features. I really enjoyed the android 9 update with OneUI. At the moment, I don't really remember what we can expect in Android 10. But probably would have some nice features. I just hope the battery life to not be worst than now.
Actually we already have some stuff, like the dark mode. So there's wont be much in Android 10 I guess for us. I am more curious what OneUI 2.0 will be. Probably not much changes in visual, but will come with more extras and options for personalizations I think.
I also have UK sim card, so I probably will try to join in the beta program when it's open.
PS
So, It's kinda official.
Samsung has OFFICIALLY started Q Beta builds. I 100% expect a beta program in the next 2 weeks, as
@SamMobiles

Speed. There's evidence for better performance on android 10 compared to 9 or 8
I think it will be a sad day when Android 10 comes to the S9+ because it means the end of support from Samsung. Only 2 years of firmware updates is pathetic especially for a flagship phone Samsung should be more like apple and look after their customers better.
Agreed with you. I feel sad about S8 and Note 8. Such awesome flagships to be left without support...
In theory, the S9/S9+ line had a better chance of getting an extra year of support because of Treble. We all had hoped that with Treble, Samsung would update their phones faster and for more time. But, doesn't seem like Samsung's announced anything that would change what they've been doing up to now. Seems like we'll only be getting 2 years of updates for this phone too. BUT, the slight 1% possibility is still there that we may go beyond that.
My Pixel 2 was update to Android 10. It's more smoothly and the battery life is increased. I feel it!
When first try android 10 on my pixel, Oh man..
How can be my pixel 2 (2017) is more better than my S9+ (2018) even it's 1 years old than the S9+.. LOL
Better in camera, battery life, background apps management, notification management, etc

Well, the answer of why it is better in these aspects only lies in the fact that they are Google's own devices and therefore its software is optimized to the maximum for that team
Android is for the Pixel what is ios for the iphone

Hi brandox,
Yeah, Agreed with you..
But, it's android and it's open sources right?
I think samsung is able to make it more smooth like on pixel devices, it might be they just push more stuff to get different of their devices, and still finding how to make it smooth.
I really like my s9+ the hands on, design, display, except the UI and UX..
It will be better, if they just put an vanilla android, focus to just a camera software, tweaking background task, and security.
just my 2cents..
Have a nice day!

Yep, it's open source. The version given to manufacturers is alone basic without many optimizations, it is already in the hands of the manufacturer what make to do with that system (They could do a better job, but since developers don't get paid enough).
If you're right. Samsung should take care of adjusting only really important applications.
To be fair, if you install AOSP on any Samsung device it will run like butter. It's just that Samsung likes to add too much stuff on their skins (some good, some bad)
Good news guys!
Samsung also started testing Android 10 for Galaxy S9/S9+! The firmware version is G960FXXU7DSI3 and G965FXXU7DSI3. Of course, first in the line will be S10, but that's a good sign, we won't wait much for it <3
Well, it seems the Korean company is not sitting still here either. As the guys at GalaxyClub now confirm, both the Galaxy S9 and S9+ are currently being tested with Google’s latest. Firmware versions G960FXXU7DSI3 and G965FXXU7DSI3 are based on Android 10, as evidenced by the letter ‘D’ which represents the next Android version. Current Android 9-based firmware have a ‘C’ in that same position, after all.
Of course, the Galaxy S9 will simply not be the first Samsung device to get the upgrade. The Galaxy S10 and Note 10 will be upgraded first, logically. We do expect their Android 10 beta to start soon, but that program will need to finish before anything else happens. And even after all that, there is a good chance the Galaxy S9 will first have to go through a beta test of its own, just like the Galaxy S8 did last year before widely receiving Android Pie.

Bought the S9+ with Android Oreo. Was working all fine until some idiot at google decided to link the notification badge count to the notification bar - so from that point, whenever I was swiping the notification in the bar, the unread badge count would go away. A temporary workaround was Nova Launcher + TeslaUnread but even that stopped working correctly at some point a few months ago.
(here is a link that describes the situation : https://forums.androidcentral.com/s...886468-notifications-unread-badge-counts.html )
So my question is: can someone who tested Android 10 on any other device or beta stages comment whether the behaviour stays the same as on Android 9? Thanks.

Tested on pixel 2 with android 10..

The guys from PhoneArena already joined the beta and tested the software. You can see what they saying in the video below. I guess Galaxy S9 / S9+ will join the beta next month.

Realme 3 pro: About Android 10 Update

According to the official statement of realme resources, Android 10 update is scheduled on month of January 2020. Now we are expecting that update very soon.
Although the beta version of Android 10 for Realme 3 pro was launched far before many but Now Many of its competitor phones available in markets have already launched the stable OS with Android 10 even before stable update for Realme 3 Pro.
So we can say, However that was scheduled as it is but still its getting late.
Realme fans are expecting a promissed "Near to stock UI" with Android 10. Believe us its really hard to count the tick tick of Clock. Waiting for a sooper dooper update for our phones.
Best wishes Realme Team....

Finally android 10 update is out !
Are we befooled by the download link on xda for Realme 3 pro new Android 10 Update???
Recently, We got a news on xda, in which we were told that the Android 10 update with Realme 3 pro is available for download.
The ozip file download link was given in the Post too. many of members including me downloaded the file. and we found that the file was just failed to install.....
Was that link fake? or some other problem incurred there?
guide me please...

The link wouldn't install. The update is being rolled out in stages. So no need to try installing the package again. Wait for the full ozip file to be uploaded to the official Realme website. You can flash it manually. Or wait till you get the notification for the new update. It will come soon in about a week or so.
---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:16 PM ----------
The link you saw might most probably be the one provided to beta testers. So it is not the final version which is being delayed to avoid providing bugs to the whole community of users. The final version will be directly provided to users via OTA updates and will also be uploaded to the software update center of Realme website. It is rumoured to be rolled out in the ratio 5% users first, then 10% and so on.
As expected, the initial release did have some bugs which prompted them to release another update today. So it is better to wait for the company to fix all the bugs and release a stable update for all.
How much time it could take probably for all users to get stable update?

Most probably it will be released in this week. However it will still be released in batches. Which means it might take another week after the official release to reach all the consumers. However you will be able to download the ozip for manual installation right after the official release this week.
[Assuming no major bugs found till then]

Yeah, I had a Realme 5 Pro a while ago and returned it due to not liking ColorOS as much as MIUI. However, I'd consider getting another one if Realme UI resolves the various annoyances.

as personal opinion, what do you not like in ColorOS specifically. I mean what should be in Realme UI???
Personally i hate the boring notifications panel in ColorOS.... icons are boring too.

Coming from MIUI, I feel that ColorOS 6 lacks polish. My issues were minor, but when you have MIUI and ColorOS side by side, it's easy to identify shortcomings.
I hated having the signal and wifi icons on the left of the status bar. It reminded me of iOS. I thought the permanent auto-rotate icon next to battery icon in the status bar was pointless. The navigation keys are annoyingly faint and slightly too large. The notification centre is permanently displayed below the quick settings, even when there are no notifications. ie. A single swipe down gives you a full page with your quick settings and notification centre. There's no one swipe for one row of quick settings.
The recent apps menu is very basic. You can lock an app and add an app to split screen, but that's t. There's no shortcut to go to an app's settings like there is in MIUI and stock android.
I think most of these have been resolved in Realme UI, though I'm waiting for more people to confirm once the updates rolls out.
I might get another Realme 5 Pro or wait for the Realme 6 Pro, though I have no idea when that will arrive.

Sorry if it's not the correct link. Not much info was given in the forum; I just copied it here.
One user has reported that it doesn't install. Sorry if it's not correct. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=81626467&postcount=14
People report receiving the OTA update today, so it seems that the roll-out is happening anyway.

Question MIUI keeps killing apps

Hello,
Not sure if it's the right place, but I'm getting depressed with my Xiaomi 12 behaviour. Since last update, MIUI global 13.2.4, the phone keeps killing apps, even if I set those with :
- not battery restriction
- auto startup
I tried a factory reset, I unlocked it, rooted it. It keeps killing apps. It's annoying, because I use Vivid and removed the navigation buttons. I let you imagine how I can be stuck sometimes when Vivid is killed. Yet, Vivid is locked... So MIUI regurlaty kills it, and sometimes, it even loses the accessibility autorisation.
How can I know what's killing it ? Obviousily, I'm not in Eco mode, and this behaviour also occurs in performance mode. Everything worked very fine until last update.

Maybe a bug in the rom which is a stable beta.
The ROM is official, it's been deployed in France last week.

You are not the only one to have had problems following updates, the solution if it worked before, is to flash the previous rom or to use a Xiaomi EU rom.
Sometimes Xiaomi renames a Stable Beta to stable without fixing anything.

Previous ROM is in Android 12. Downgrading won't be a problem ? Keeps root ? EU Roms seem far behind.
Sirguda said:

Downgrading requires a clean flash and the root is lost along with your data.
Use this tool:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flash-tool-guide-use-xiaomi-flash-tool.4262425/
And disable the update.
EDIT:
I use a Xiaomi EU rom on my 12 pro and I have several apps that must remain in the background, works very well.
With a Xiaomi EU rom you will have the certified play store without root and lots of extra options.
This is happening to me also and many other people. Fun times waking up to find that your alarm clock hasn't gone off because it was killed in the background.
There doesn't seem to be a workaround yet. There's several posts on the mi.com forums regarding it:
Xiaomi Community
new.c.mi.com
People there have discussed making a bug report via the feedback app (Settings->"Services & Feedback") might garner some support for Xiaomi to fix the issue... one can only hope.
All I can say is if you're thing of updating to V13.2.4.0.TLCEUXM OTA then DONT! Teach me to apply an update without checking on it first.

Go to this site if you need anything, the updates with beta roms on the stable channel do not date from today, many threads on this subject have been created without change since today the problem persists.
Reporting bugs via Services & Feedback hasn't changed anything either.
Note that since the redesign of their site, important threads have disappeared and even some devices.
As a reminder, it is the moderators of this site who report information, well that's just theory because in practice, nothing happens.
If you want answers from Xiaomi, tell them you want to buy a new phone because that's what they're interested in, selling.
I tell you this because at a certain time, I was active on this site, but some of my posts were deleted because I explained how to solve or work around the problem.
Sometimes by checking the hash of a beta rom and the following stable, it was the same.
The solution is to unlock the bootloader and downgrade or install a Xiaomi EU rom.

I'm kind of relieved that's I'm not the only one with this issue. For sure I dont take a xiaomi anymore. I had doubt about MIUI, and gesture unavailable with 3rd party launcher + this killing app bug, makes me regret not have taken a Samsung S22.
" I had doubt about MIUI, and gesture una aimable with 3rd party launcher"
Xiaomi blocks this function with third-party apps (not new).

Not new, but it's a detail you have trouble knowing before buying. With Vivid Gesture, I was plainly satisfied, but this new bug is really frustrating.
Regarding "Xiaomi EU rom", how well tested is it? Do they have an issue tracker and a list of known bugs?
I've rooted and flashed community ROMs in the past only to find out they are poorly tested / have horrible QA and although superficially they work fine other aspects didn't like Bluetooth, Android Auto or certain camera modes etc.
It has been a while though since I last attempted one, maybe things have moved on since then?
Xiaomi has removed so much of the Google framework that even push notifications isn't working. Take note that the Global ROM is based on the CN variant which is known for aggressive background killing of apps.
In Xiaomi's defense, they are "freeing up" up to 800mb of your internal storage by removing most of Google's API but in the expense of all the issues encountered by Global ROM users.
So if anyone is interested, I'm trying to see if disabling com.miui.powerkeeper works round this issue of background apps being killed in V13.2.4.0.TLCEUXM .
I followed this tutorial:
How to disable any pre-installed system app bloatware on Android without root
If you hate the bloatware or pre-installed apps on your Android smartphone, here's how to disable them even if Android doesn't normally let you.
www.xda-developers.com
Will report back if I notice any improvement.
Maybe someone more knowledgable might be able to tell me if there are any downside to disabling this package?
I am suffering the exact same problem with my device since the 13.2.4 update, what i nightmare to use the device since then ! As the other users already reported, it s even killing the alarm app which prevents it to ring ! But it also impacts all app notifications, like whatsapp, outlook, etc. After being killed I don't get the new notifications for those.
I can't believe that they are pushing such an update globally, they are gonna lose a lot of customers which such a poor strategy, as this is not just a "little" bug.
I am interested in the Xiaomi.EU rom, looks like they released one 2 days ago with version number 13.2.6, but I have to investigate if we can install that over our official version on an original EU device, and if it requires a full data wipe or not.

Welcome to XIAOMI.
You can check below the version of the rom proposed for the update, before performing it.
https://xiaomifirmwareupdater.com/archive/miui/cupid/
EDIT:
You can either update the rom with the update.bat file included in the Fastboot.zip folder but since it is an A13 version, it is preferable to format the data with the first install.bat file .
Obviously the bootloader must be unlocked.
Also remove the security from the lock screen and restart the system.
Hello. I have exactly the same problem. I just bought the phone, after a week I got that update and it made me completely regret that I bought it. Is there any "clean" way to return to the version of MIUI I bought the phone with?
Would a reset return me to the old version? Since i got almost nothing important in the phone, it wouldnt be a big deal.
