Just updated to OneUI 3.0 and Android 11 today and realised Google's PDF viewer is missing - does not appear in the list of apps to view pdf documents when downloaded from the net. Anyone experience the same issue? It also states a full charge will last about 18h 50m.

Definitely a significant improvement in battery life for me. Before upgrade my full charge stated will last about 13-14 hours, now after using OneUI 3.0 it said will last 21+ hours. It runs cooler around 33 C, previously was almost 40 C and warm when holding it.

21 hours ? Mine could only last 15 hrs! With medium power and 96hz

Could you share your settings to get it to 21 hrs ? I would assume that is 60 hertz screen refresh rate yeah ?

Hi, may i know how you set to 96hz?

Posted from PCWX using SM-N986B

Google for something called galaxy max hz apk

Download and then set the max settings as 96hertz
By tapping the max refresh hertz button. It will change from 60 to 120 and then to 96.

Yes 60Hz. But I have 6 push emails, 2 WhatsApp, social media, MS Teams chat all sync ON, Bluetooth pair with galaxy watch 3 and TT app of course. This is my main phone for work + personal. I don't use it for gaming though.

Folks, my Note 20 Ultra is HK set. Any way of flashing to the latest firmware with UI 3.0? HK sets take a long time for firmware updates....

I followed the steps, keyed in *#272*my-imei-number#. But after keying the last "#", nothing happens. I also tried pressing the dial button after keying in "#", also nothing happens....

Do I need to add in a SIM card for the above to work?

I use google phone to do the above steps on my Taiwan set. Manged to change the CSC to HK firmware. It will factory reset your phone.

Is it? I flash using Odin as Taiwan and HK firmware is different leh

I'm still learning about all this stuff. Please pardon me if I'm wrong.
I checked on Sammobile firmware. Saw the PDA n CSC are the same for HK (TGY) n Taiwan (BRI). I flash via Odin but my N20U still shows, BRI/ BRI, BRI/BRI.
Found in the XDA forum, someone used google phone to type in the IMEI thingy. So I tried n select TGY. After the phone reboot, Wolah! My N20U shows, TGY/TGY, TGY/BRI something like that.. Can't remember as I went back to my N10+. Still like the form factor of N10+.
It works for me as I get names instead of numbers appearing. Oso, the SPAM call thingy works after I changed the CSC code.

Strongly suspect u flash firmware but never flash csc. From what i know from my note 10 plus, cant change csc from taiwan to hk. Have to flash Hk firmware in and overwrite home csc
