Hi,
I need help to fix Egypt DST. Currently +3.00 is shown for Egypt which is correct if DST is still used but Egypt has discarded the usage of DST starting from this year so it needs to be reverted to +2.00. Can someone help because it is messing with my widgets time also. Thanks.
I got a new in box S10 5G that seems unlocked but can't seem to make voice calls with Rakuten Mobile in Japan. I'd seen other Japanese users have such issue with other Android devices and could resolve it by activating VoLTE but no such options seems to exist on the S10 5G as I have it. The current firmware on it is April 2019 but it won't seem to upgrade to the latest automatically. Suspect it is because the box says LG U+ which is a Korean carrier and the updates normally come from there. Is this some sort of region lock issue that I need get a U+ SIM in making the calls for the first 5 mins? Have never rooted a phone before so apologies and bash if necessary, but if I use something like Odin, will that unlock VoLTE options if I update to the latest version and will is disable other features and delete the factory installed apps? Many thanks for any advice and guidance.
Hello. Hope someone can help on this issue. I purchased Huawei Mate 20 lite sne-lx3 in a Latin American country and was getting regular security updates from Huawei. I then moved to the USA and used this phone with TMobile services but cannot get any security updates. My current version is 10.0.0.267. I have activated to get upgrade event in my phone and it says software is up to date. Can anyone advise how can I get upgrades from Huawei.? Tis.
Greetings to the community here!
I came here out of desperation because after several attempts I can't fix the problem with my phone.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, specifically the model SM-G998U (CSC: ATT/XAA,ATT/ATT). The phone is unlocked and accepts all SIM cards. I live in the Czech Republic (the state in the center of Europe) and I found out that my signal is dropping here. A cell phone imported from the US has different radio waves. See the comparison there:

I wanted to ask if it is possible to solve this error by flashing SM-998U into SM-998U1 + before flashing, changing the CSC to XAA (or is it after flashing?). The phone has Android 12 and the last update was on April 1, 2022. However, I can't update anything because thanks to AT&T I have to be in the US + have their SIM to be able to get the OTA. Could mobile signal be a software issue (like if I manage to update it, is it going to accept European bands – certainly O2 carrier?)? It keeps losing signal (it switches between no signal - LTE - 5G). During the call, the other party can't hear me because my voice somehow falls out.
By the way, the seller told me that the phone will work in Europe, but it doesn't work for me to make calls. Do I have the right to return the goods?
Is there any kind soul who can help me with this? I will be grateful for any help.

Yes you are right . Facing the same problem here in Pakistan I have G998U model and it drop the signal from 4g to 3g (H+) frequently . I use the phone Hotspot in my car to listen to music . But on the same route it drops the signals and keep buffering. In Pakistan Samsung officially released G998B model but I don't like the exynos chip

Thanks for responding.
I noticed you flashed from SM-G998U to SM-G998U1. Did you notice any change in the signal when you flashed the system? Like, is it better after flashing?
I'm thinking of flashing from the G998U to the G998U1 as well.
Now I have CSC ATT. When I flash it to G998U1 do I have to change the CSC to XAA (via SamFW tool) or just flash it via patched ODIN?
Also, I don't want to lose data when flashing, so I have to put HOME_CSC in the patched ODIN right? I just don't know if putting HOME_CSC will leave the AT&T logo and bloatware on my phone. I don't want to be left with AT&T bloatware, so I'll probably backup my data and put a normal CSC in there that will wipe my data.

Would you mind helping me out, please? Someone on this page wrote that I should be careful about the bootloader version when flashing. Can I flash from Android 12 (April 2022) to Android 13?

Of course
I have a P30 Pro, VOG-L29, bought in Singapore and the region is Singapore. CUST region shows spcseas. The last OTA update I got is from May 2022, EMUI 12.0.0.134 with the May 2022 security patches.
But I keep reading that others have gotten quarterly updates since then, and that the latest update is supposedly from February 2023.
But mine refuse to get any updates, I checked the "My Huawei" app as well but nothing there either.
Does anyone know if it's possible at all to "force" the latest OTA update? Or manually install it somehow?
This is still a great phone, but it worries me a bit that it's now lagging behind a year with no security updates.
