    Nokia C01 Plus - FM radio app query

    Evening, I have a Nokia C01 Plus on a prepaid plan as a backup to my main Samsung phone. I've had Nokia phones in the past and found they were pretty good (although I acknowledge they don't make phones anymore). However I'm wondering if there's a better FM radio application I can download to...

    Parallel imported Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, no software updates

    That's a very good point - probably the latter part is what applies best here. I think when I get my refund back for this one, I'll just take the money and get a new battery put in my current phone (from a local phone shop, so it has a warranty) to stretch this one out a little bit more.

    Parallel imported Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, no software updates

    It's all academic now, I'm going to return this one too. Positive: - I love the screen, it's very bright - Nice and snappy to use - Nice colour too Negative: - extremely hot - not just during setup, but even afterwards. I was walking around with it in my pocket before and it was extremely...

    Parallel imported Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, no software updates

    Not quite like that 🙂 Here's the truncated history of me and S20's: - First one purchased from a place here in Auckland in mid 2024. It was refurbished but came with a 12 month warranty. This is the one I'm using right now. It goes okay, except for the fact it had that hideous screen burn-out...

    I tried doing a factory reset using the side keys and it gave an error along the lines of: [PDP] back-up : fail no backup file Anyone seen this before? It's a new one to me.

    Parallel imported Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, no software updates

    Something not so good - I started doing the transfer last night, noting the battery on the new phone was quite low (about 20%). Never mind, I thought, that's enough to get this done and then I'll charge it. However the battery kept running down before my very eyes :oops: I connected it to the...

    Parallel imported Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, no software updates

    Forgot to say, unlike my current (refurbished) S20 I didn't need to load a profile into this new one or anything - it just worked out of the box 🙂 that's a good sign, right?

    Parallel imported Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, no software updates

    All I can say is that so far, this one seems to be going vastly better than its earlier, ill-fated predecessor :giggle: For posterity's sake, here are some screenshots I took of it, showing the various types of signal it was using: 2G: 3G (sometimes this also says "3G" but I've found it...

    Parallel imported Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, no software updates

    Seems like it all works as it should, phew (y) I'm going to do a factory reset as I had to partially set it up before I could use it, and then will look at moving my micro SD card and SIM card over to it, probably tomorrow night or on the weekend. Still no FM radio though 😥 I don't think the B...

    Parallel imported Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, no software updates

    Sorry to revive my ancient thread but I've since purchased another (new) S20 - again the B variant, it seems, but this one seems to work a lot better. I purchased a Vodafone NZ prepay SIM this time and inserted it so I could test things out before using my main one and having issues and happily...

    Thanks anyway, I think it's a handset fault so I'm going to get a return organised. Appreciate your help :)

    Parallel imported Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, no software updates

    I took some screenshots of what's happening with the signal using Netmonster if this is any help - all taken over a very small radius of about 20-30m: Does this help explain why this phone is having signal issues?

    Sorry - the new S20 5G which I just purchased (this one is the B variant).

    Parallel imported Samsung Galaxy S20 5G, no software updates

    Okay now I can post a bit more as I'm finished work for the day. The signal on this thing seems very flakey. One minute it has a signal, next minute nothing. This is in a location with 2G and 3G (for now), 4G and 5G. In fact my old S20 gets a signal in the exact same spot, consistently. Heck I...
