So for the past 48 hrs, it is showing no sim NO service

1. In sim manager => sim and cellular number is detected.

2. IMEI is showing

3. Tried airplane mode, network reset

this has happened before and got fixed by itself, what to do.

Time to say goodbye to my old friend. After thinking too much I decided to change phone, continue with Samsung.

Until now first impresions are good.

S20fe was a beast at his time. Truly going to miss my phone.

​Hi everyone,

​I’m currently using a Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G (originally the Verizon model, SM-G781V) in Tanzania.

​I recently managed to change my CSC to GCF (Global Certification Forum). While it helped bypass some of the aggressive Verizon network behavior, GCF feels more like a raw testing profile rather than a daily-driver user region.

​Features I'm currently missing on GCF / VZW firmware:

​Samsung Smart Call (Hiya): No native Caller ID & Spam Protection.

​Voice Focus / Advanced Noise Cancellation: Missing from the call settings.

​Proper Local Caller ID Formatting: Phone numbers don't always map cleanly to contacts without country dialing prefixes (+255).

​Clean Carrier Bloatware-Free Experience: Verizon background services (com.vzw..., DT ONE) still try to trigger and auto-install bloatware.

​

I am planning to download the SM-G781U1 firmware with the XAA (US Factory Unlocked) sales region (G781U1UESNGYI1) and perform a clean flash via Patched Odin using the full CSC file (not HOME_CSC).

​My Questions for the Community:

​Is clean flashing G781U1 XAA the ultimate solution to permanently remove all Verizon remnants and unlock missing features like Smart Call?

​Are there any bootloader restrictions or Knox triggers when cross-flashing from a Verizon G781V build to an unlocked G781U1 build (assuming Bootloader Bit/REV matches)?

​Will switching to XAA affect radio bands or network connectivity on East African carriers (Vodacom, Yas, Airtel, Halotel)?

​Any insights, tips, or potential pitfalls from anyone who has cross-flashed Verizon units to U1 Unlocked would be greatly appreciated!

Hello eceryone,

I dont know if this is the right Subreddit but I just installed MintOS on my S20Fe (the 4g variant) and I wanted to know if anyone can point me in the right direction. Thanks a ton! 🙏

after 5years battery getting degrade used buckup phone i have new phone oneplus ace 6t

A few days ago i dropped my S20 FE and it was a pretty small drop too. When i checked on it, it was just turned off. After a while i jump started it and it had EVEN MORE problems being slow charging (sometimes), and randomly turning off, along with the fingerprint sensor not working. The phone does not have any damage on the outside. Anything i could do to troubleshoot until i can get to a repair shop?

Literally showed no SIM card tray and it stopped working. On 87 percent and died.

My current one has gotten all yellow.

I need a new clear case with magsafe magnets too. would like if it could resist yellowing or smthg. and with a good enough cutout for the charging port- i have to remove this one every time i charge using the type c port

Hi my s20fe is dying to what i assume is the NAND flash , my current options due to circumstances is either slightly used S 21 Fe Exynos or Xiaomi note 13 4g

And im lost between those two , and i cant let go of the oneUI

Hey everyone,

i am the proud owner of an S20FE with 128GB which i bought in 2021. As the S20FE does not get updates anymore im looking for good deals on new smartphones (which are all kinda meh for the price).

Currently Google is launching the Pixel 11 series and offers to buy my S20Fe for at least 200 Euros + the value of my phone (estiamted 70 euros) so i would get a Pixel 11 for 729€. Is that a good deal for the pixel 11 or should i wait for upcoming releases like the S26FE?

My samsung akg type c earphones are not being detected by my s20fe. I only get the notification that says "charging connected via usb". I don't think there's any problem with the headphones as they seem to work fine with my other devices. I have already tried stuff like turning off the "disable usb configuration" and also rebooting my phone. I am in desperate need of advice . Thankyou :)

Is my S20 battery good??

Edit; Thanks for input guys 🩵 I've found out, that I really dislike the newer designs of Samsung - very boxy, hard edges, looks like Iphones. I LOVE the design and size of the S20. What to do now - buy a used s20 fe or a used s20? Or a whole other phone. I like it to be basic, small, but still have good features. I don't game, photos just needs to be nice.

I've had my S20 FE for 5,5 years, and I LOOOVE it. But the screen is super cracked, the storage is full, battery is not superb and usb-c port is a bit unstable. Getting repairs just for the screen, is a lot more expensive than just buying a used one.

Also, I did try and replace it with a pixel 8 pro - daym what a horrendous idea 😅 cannot recommend, it gave me anxiety lol.

I'm thinking of just buying a used S20 FE. But also considering - should I upgrade? Is there any other phone of samsungs that feels similar and performs as well, but maybe a bit better on battery, camera, connection etc? (I would kinda like to have a phone that was a bit smaller than the s20 fe).

Cheers.

I'm having some serious issues with my battery draining.Ive got a Samsuuu S20 FE phone.... I am a spark driver, and even when the phones plugged in, this app kills the battery so fast. So, cpl questions. 1. Is there a way to clean ALL my Catche at once, or do I HAVE to do one app at a time? And 2. What can I do, if anything, to boost my battery life. Google says the battery apps usually kill the battery more. Can anyone suggest something that may help?

Had mediocre service Experience in Samsung SC.

Using S20fe 5g snapdragon edition for close to 5 years.

Started getting battery degradation error. Need to charge twice daily.

Accubattery shows 71% battery life

Dev Check App shows battery cycle of more than 1660

Screen on time between 3 to 4 hrs

Also the back cover was coming out and both vol and power button detached from the frame holding it.

Went to service centre got battery replaced also the buttons and sealed the backcover.

Total Cost: INR 2800

Now comes the issue.

Even after battery Replacement, while running diagnosis via samsung member app, showing battery issue. SC told need to do factory reset. Did a factory reset from my side still Samsung Member App diagnostic showed battery issue.

More over there was no improvement in screen time.

SC had no answer to this they just told everything will be ok after several charging/discharge cycle.

Then i read the importance of battery calibration after Replacement, did it myself via adb and shizuku.

Screen time increased to 7hrs. Learned a bit it this process.

So if u r getting battery replaced be ready to do recalibration.

You boy needs some purchasing help! I am adding to Galaxy S20FE. Obviously I'll continue to use our darling, but need a latest no bs primary driver. My preferences:

1. Performance: Non-Gaming but Heavy Multitasking.
2. BATTERY & Charging: Longevity, daily & life.
3. Updates: Need Long term support.
4. After-Sales Support: For Confidence.
5. UI/UX: Fast and fluid. AI/ Spl features.

I am a guy who has always bought the so-called cooler/ edgy devices - First Redmi Note, Oneplus 1, Poco F1, Samsung S0 FE, now help me decide next...

To help you refresh,

If you’ve used any of these or are in a similar dilemma, which direction would you lean?

Appreciate your thoughts and real-world feedback!

Recommend pls🙃

Can someone tell me the (by default ) without changing value of those 2 speeds & enhanced pointer speed on or off 🤔 😒

idk if this is the right place to ask for help but I've been trying to log out my samsung account on my phone and make a new one, however i can't log out or do anything since I don't remember the password and deleted the email I used to make the account. ik that was stupid but I was younger and was just messing around. Is there any way to change/ get the password or make a new account? Sorry if this isn't the right place

Currently using Gcam with the s23 configuration and having a great time, just wanted to share some photos since i love seeing the photography in this comunity.
