Can I revert to Android 11 after I have updated to Android 12 on Samsung s20 fe? Will warranty be valid after downgrade?  I bought my phone with android 11 and updated to android 12.  I didn't use any rom.

Hi @ea1975  You cannot downgrade the software by official means,though  you can find information on various sites. 

It would though invalidate your warranty in any case.

i presume you could downgrade with a factory reset (reverts to the android version it was shipped with, but I would argue against it, ( you will also loose al security updates ) what do you dislike about android 12? probably there are ways around that

[ea1975]

I don't dislike Android 12. The question is just  theoretical. I mean I want to know  what would happen if I wanted to do a downgrade. Thanks.

Actually, I am happy with Android 12. Everything is just fine.

No a Factory Reset does not not downgrade the Android version , see some confirmation here https://mobilepains.com/does-factory-reset-remove-updates-android/ , anyway glad you seem to be happy with Android 12 @ea1975 .

I don't dislike android 12 and hardly noticed a difference but I wear Bluetooth hearing ***** and the app is incompatible with 12. Causing lots of problems

better ask the app makers to up their game and make an android 12 update for their app. (or change to another android 12 ready app) if the app goes with the buds check the factory's website and ask them for advice

Yes they are working on it. Said it was originally made for iPhone so android having problems especially Samsung

I guess they didn't tell that it was originally made for iPhone when you bought them. so they did mislead you then, you could claim that they missed it to you.
