Upgrading OS in mobile is same like upgrading windows. Along with new user interface you can also get security updates and more additional features such as improved battery life, etc. Upgrading OS also lets you install new apps that aren't supported by older versions. I also found that games like Doodle Jump, Nin Jump, etc run more smoothly in gengerbread than in froyo.
I am not aware about CDMA version as I have a GSM model. But, I think it depends on OS (I'm not sure about it though).

Just spoke with the Samsung Technical staff with regards to the upgrade to my phone which is also a Samsung Galaxy POP CDMA. You will have to call them and they will give you details of the nearest service center where you will have to take your phone and get the upgrade to Gingerbread. They are currently not allowing it from their website.

That is just not correct. It can be Ubuntu, Firefox OS, hell even iOS if you have 1000 developers with very good salary recoding every bit of source to fit it's hardware.
The question is: Are there people willing to port Firefox OS to our device...
Right now Firefox OS is only compatible with a few Android devices. So, not at the moment, sorry.

hello ,
i have SD card kingstone 32 GB class 4
its quite decent priced and was working fine to my s3 gt-i9300 for 1st year
after a while it started to lag the device on the original stock rom
anyway , after using custom cyanogenmod rom it was fine to me and quick
once i got back to stock it freezed the device then its not working anymore
not recognized on phone nor PC -- not even recognized on recovery programs like testdisk - photorycu .. etc
i lost hope until i searched specificaly in kingstone technical support:
here's the link
http://www.kingston.com/en/support/technical/products?model=SDC4
so i found out this in android 4.2 4.1.2 question FAQ :
*ADVISORY* My microSD card worked in my Android 4.1 or 4.2 device but after a short time, it is no longer accessible and has locked up. How do I resolve this issue?
A problem has been identified with some microSD cards and Android 4.1 & 4.2 based devices like the Samsung Galaxy S3, Samsung Galaxy S4, and Samsung Galaxy Note II that causes the card to become unresponsive after being used for a short time. Kingston Technology has taken the necessary measures to resolve the issue but it is always a good idea to keep a BACKUP of ALL important data. If you are experiencing this problem, please contact our Technical Support department for a resolution.

Format it with the sd formatting tool, if still the same then throw it away and buy a different brand.
Hey there I have rooted my android 10 to enable wps but unfortunately it is not working
So
I want to downgrade android version from 10 to any other version that supports wps connection
Can I and how ?
There is no way in how you could ever downgrade to a version, which was lower than the version the device was preshipped with. You cant downgrade a Galaxy S8 to 6.0.1 for example, as it was introduced with 7.0. Correct me if I am wrong but in my many years of experience, I have never seen something like that. I think the A10s was shipped with Android 9. There is no way how you can get Marshmallow/Nougat/Oreo on that Phone. Sorry!

Samsung's Galaxy Tab A7 Lite has leaked once again before launch
The upcoming Samsung Galaxy Tab A7 Lite has leaked once again via unofficial press renders that have been shared by Evan Blass.

I love the tablet, bought two of the 4GB/64GB for $149 each directly from Samsung site.
Well worth the money, I got them for gaming and watching videos, web surfing, really great tablets.
Can this tablet be rooted ?
Good

Impreza thank you for making me rest.....I've been surfing online finding answers if that tablet can be rooted...please let me know if you guys found more info..thank you
Bought this thinking it was an upgrade from my Galaxy tab a 8.0 but since it's one ui core it's missing many features. Trying to trade it in now but it's past the 15 days. There's no smart view to mirror to any tv easily, theres no network file manager in my files (can't access G drive or any others).
Just make sure you know what you're buying. It's not lite because of being smaller than A7, it's a stripped down OS and the features can't be installed afterwards (have tried many apks). I didn't want a big tablet, wanted a mid size tablet with upgraded CPU.

I agree with that. If you are sure you know what you're buying, the experience of the A7 Lite isn't bad. One UI Core is the same stripped down OS in the regular A7 (Snapdragon 662) and in the A7 Lite. CPU works very fluid if you tweak some settings (default One UI animations are awfully slow). Battery lasts A LOT (8,5-9 hours SOT). Smart View was removed and changed in all One UI devices with the upgrade to Android 11/One UI 3.0 (regular and Core), and it was replaced with Google Cast native screen mirroring (ergo Chromecast).
Use Solid Explorer or Amaze if you want to access network file places. It works well on my side.
Despite being a Mediatek tablet, you wont't find anything MTK-related in the tablet. Samsung has its software very well masked. And I think that, in Helio P22T, Mediatek vulnerabilities have been fixed with security monthly patches.

I guess that MTK-su has been fixed on Android 11... But I think that I could boot something with DSU Loader, which is available...

Just wanted to chime in here and say that I successfully rooted the tablet using the same method for the Lite as the regular A7 using THIS GUIDE. Obviously it tripped Knox but I needed it rooted for my use case. One note is that when you download the stock firmware with an application like Samsung Firmware Downloader, make sure you choose the correct Model and Region. These can be found in the settings on the tablet.
Is it possible to enable Google Discover for default launcher?
I bought Galaxy Tab A7 Lite LTE SM-T225 3/32GB and it works quite nice. Small and good device. Would be cool to see on it clean Android or LineageOS (fingers crossed). There is not too many ~8 inch tablets today with the latest Android version.

I've been working on porting TWRP for AOSP Android 11 to this device but have run into some roadblocks.
I currently have TWRP running but touch is not working and I can't seem to get Data R/W with the current tools available. It's possible it's an error in my build or maybe a workflow problem.
If anyone out there with more experience is doing the same or wants to help me sort some things out, please let me know.
I purchased the SM-T225 LTE 4/64GB model, a good device, but there was a problem on the latest T225XXU1AUH5 & UI3 firmware, specifically with a modem... after the end of the call, the mobile network disappears, and after rebooting Baseband Unknown Flashing does not help, only resetting the data helps, but before the next call... The device had Root rights, but is now installed stock firmware and blocked the bootloader, but the problem remains... At the same time, if you install the old modem UDA,UE3,UF2 , it works without problems... Has anyone encountered anything like this?
My only disappointment is that knox is included. I came from tab A 8.0 2019 which has no knox

I have a SM-T225 LTE 4 / 64Gb model. 64-bit model, 3 / 32Gb variant is the same in parameters, except for the amount of memory ...
Screenshots from the Phone Info program:
Bought one earlier today for a second screen for browsing while I'm gaming on the laptop. Got way more than I expected for such a cheap price. Debloated and tweaked, I really can't complain.
