No **** Sherlock!!
[Galaxy S6 General] p_shad0w:
You are entitled to your opinion for sure but you are certainly not entitled to respect for that opinion...your arguments are without merit and though I wouldn't call them stupid simply out of politeness I am sure others would not be as polite.....

Fact is they could have kept the microsd and ufs.
[Galaxy S6 General] das boot:
My Samsung Galaxy Nexus runs the sane nearly 3 1/2 years later, in terms of the battery, as it did on day 1. I've never had to replace the battery, and in my opinion, the whole "batteries degrade in less than a year" argument is a sham.

Also, let's face reality, the average consumer isn't a techno nerd on a phone forum or a tech blogger. The average person looks at the phones in their local carrier store and picks what they like (if they aren't already set on an iPhone of course). The S6 stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of display, design, and the "edge". This phone will sell well, despite not having a removable back or SD card slot. 99% (yes...I made that up) of people out there aren't walking around with a spare battery in their pocket, or trying to carry 10,000 songs, and multi-gig videos on their phones.
[Galaxy S6 General] ThaiM:
If your phone were to suddenly die or break for some reason, good luck retrieving photos, videos, etc. from it. With a MicroSD storage, you can just remove it and be on your way.

I like to store movies and archive photos, videos, etc. and having expandable storage is extremely crucial. Would you buy a PC without a removable PSU or removable hard drives? Didn't think so.

The only logical explanation for Samsung to go this route, regardless of what's been touted in the news, is that they deliberately want a drop in sales and stocks and company image. Then the S7 will bring it back and they'll give the impression of it being a new breathtaking device for the people. Either that, or the S7 will be a flip phone.

I'm a Note user, and if the Note 5 goes this backwards route, then I will never consider Samsung as a brand again.
[Galaxy S6 General] SirWise23:
Well I think they would cut the SD card slot out mostly to save a few bucks and to get people to buy the larger versions of their phone. I do understand that if people move things like apps to their SD card they will miss the whole speed point of the phone. The only think I have ever put on my SD card are pictures and music... maybe a video now and then.... and if that moves any faster the music tempo will be off :)

I appreciate the fact that their new memory is much faster but people never do well with a feature being taken away.
[Galaxy S6 General] vortexmak:
They could have done with a simple warning.

The point of the SD is that you can move all your media to it, leaving the faster internal storage free for apps
[Galaxy S6 General] smooth4lyfe:
I think its more of a personal preference. I used to be a person that was so "pro-removable battery", but when I had my S5, I wasnt even changing my batteries as often. Now that I have a Z3, which has no removable battery, I don't even think about battery because the phone lasts long. I charge my battery every night before I sleep anyways and it lasts me through the day. So long as the S6 does the same I will be happy.
[Galaxy S6 General] onlinejobwork:
Well said
[Galaxy S6 General] smooth4lyfe:
Thats why you back up your stuff...its not wise to keep everything you own on a MicroSD, because it can crash and break just like internal memory can
[Galaxy S6 General] ThaiM:
You can backup and still have archives on your MicroSD for viewing.

And another instance, if you're on vacation and want to take many videos and photos with your device. You CAN with removable external storage. Backing up onto the cloud during vacations is not practical. Unless you're a millionaire with an endless cashflow for data. Look how much space a single 2 minute 4K video clip takes up. That'll fill up your entire device in no time. And then backing up gigs and gigs of data to the cloud? And then retrieving? Not practical. The cloud is not a compromise.
[Galaxy S6 General] tokuzumi:
I am inclined to agree with the OP. The new nand is going to make the phone fly, and will help the phone capture great photos. I'm just finally glad they ditched the 16GB option. That should have disappeared with the S3.

I look forward to the head to head reviews with the M9. If the camera doesn't perform well, I'll most likely get the S6.
[Galaxy S6 General] smooth4lyfe:
Do you plan on taking many 4K videos?

I have 60GB of Dropbox free (from a Samsung promotion) and I save all my pics on there, its not that bad. The only con about using cloud storage is safety of files. If you make a Box Cloud account, you get 20GB free. You can also retrieve them anytime (so long as u have a data connection, which could be a con in some cases).

I do agree that having a MicroSD card is more convenient, but I don't see it as a major dealbreaker
[Galaxy S6 General] ThaiM:
Time to upload to cloud and download from cloud when needed. Money for data both ways. That's if you're not roaming. That's if you have data signal. Your argument is moot. Not to mention DropBox is heavily run by NSA and it's not free after a year.

And yes, I always record on the highest setting available. I like to use the technological advancements on my device.
[Galaxy S6 General] smooth4lyfe:
Not necessarily, Dropbox does not become "un-free" after one year. I had mine for over 3 years free. Second, uploading runs in the background so its not really a problem. And with LTE, and the Galaxy S6 already prepped for the fastest LTE, uploading wont be that much of a problem.

Don't get me wrong, a MicroSD Card is more convenient, but its not like without a SD Card all your photos and data are doomed, which is what most people on here seem to think
[Galaxy S6 General] Black6spdZ:
its quite clear why they omited the microSD, $$$ IF cloud storage is not an option for you, you'll pay a $200 premium for an extra $20 in flash memory.. pure profit!!
[Galaxy S6 General] DrkGhst87:
Yea, don't get that either. It's not like the iPhone has had a removable battery/expandable memory ever... It was a feature I was hoping they'd keep for convenience sake, but I'm not that bothered by it.
[Galaxy S6 General] Master Ramy:
Keep this in mind guys, the new S6 32gb is being priced the same as the S5 16gb. I'd take an extra 16gb of internal over a memory card for same price any day, plus the metal design, they had to make some compromises, and I think they compromised at the absolute best places to do so, unlike how others have done in the past (read: HTC 4Ultrapixel back camera, bendable iPhone 6, majority of Nexus cameras, Samsung build quality (S5 and before) )

---------- Post added at 06:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:40 AM ----------

Its a matter of opportunity cost. To play this right, Samsung needed a cutting edge device that literally has the best of every single available component, with the best design, best build quality, fastest, all while not going higher than the S5 price of roughly 699 here in the states off contract. They did all that, AND bumped up the base storage to 32GB, added wireless charing, Samsung pay, duel gorilla glass 4, 110gb of cloud storage for free, exclusive best ram and processors of any mobile device ever made, best display on a mobile device, I mean dang!! All that for losing SD slot and removable battery, which very few people ever actually switch (in the real world not in our XDA community)? I'll take it.
[Galaxy S6 General] Japultra:
There's a lot of whining going on in with the S6's lack of microSD. People have been mentioning going on vacation and how using the cloud is not economical. That is very true while you're roaming and on vacation, but how many times are you on vacation out of the year? Once or twice? Will it really kill you that for these few occasions, you *might* not be able to back up or access your media from the cloud? Will you not have access to wifi AT ALL? And if you're on vacation *so often* that it actually becomes an issue, then by that logic, do you not technically have a lot of disposable income? If you're *really* that pressed for storage space on holiday, run into a coffee shop or a McDonald's and use their wifi.

Personally, I wouldn't let the inconvenience of (possibly) a couple weeks out of the year dictate what phone I will use for the other 50 weeks of the year.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfsmart:
I've rooted and flashed ROMs on three previous android phones but I still consider myself something of a noob.

I have a SM-N910T that I've had for a couple of months. I was trying to flash TWRP for the first time. Windows detected the phone (as it always has in the past) and Odin detected the phone. Halfway through the download the process failed and Odin threw up an error message.

Now I get 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue' with a straight boot. I can boot into download mode on the phone but neither Windows, Odin, or Kies can detect the phone as far as I can tell. There don't appear to be any 'unknown devices' in Device Manager. I've tried different usb ports, different cables, and tried both my laptop and desktop (both are 64-bit windows 8.1) with multiple reboots.

I'm assuming from this point that the phone is hard bricked, but I wanted to see if anyone more knowledgeable had any ideas or input.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 147aaron:
Well this is interesting. I can't guarantee this will work, but lets try . . .

1st. Pull the battery from your phone

2nd. Disconnect all usbs from your computer and reboot it

3rd. Once your computer turns back on - open kies 3, click Tools, and then click Reinstall Device Driver. Once finished, close out of kies

4th. Manually boot phone into download mode (Vol down + Home)

5th. Open ODIN and connect phone up to computer

Let me know if the device shows in ODIN before doing anything.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfsmart:
Thanks for taking the time to look at my problem 147aaron.

I followed your steps carefully and ODIN still doesn't see the phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 147aaron:
Does windows make that noise that something has been connected when you hook it up? If not, it sounds like you are going to have to have it sent in for repair.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfsmart:
I have now also tried installing Heimdall on my Ubuntu laptop and it also fails to detect the phone:

ERROR: Failed to detect compatible download-mode device.​
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfsmart:
No, it does not (it did before the failed flash). I figured as much, thanks for trying to help.

I'm guessing that the 'premium handset protection' insurance won't cover this?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Just checking, did you run as Sudo? Or have you set udev permissions. I always forget this the first time when flashing a phone via linux.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sfjuocekr:
First check that your phone is inserted to a USB2.0 port.

Secondly turn the phone completely off for a few seconds, then manually boot into download. Don't let it boot into download mode by just pressing power!

Finally after plugging it in type dmesg in the terminal, it should show your phone connecting as an USB device.

If not post the output of dmesg > dmesg.log
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfsmart:
Good catch. However, running as sudo I still get the same error.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inconceeeivable:
Shoot. Sorry man.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BACARDILIMON:
Seems like you have a bad phone.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfsmart:
Unless I reading it wrong (I'm a command-line noob as well) all USB events took place within the first couple of seconds after booting the laptop. I plugged in the phone probably a minute or so after I got to the desktop, so I don't think it's registering. [EDIT: I typed sudo dmesg | grep -i usb and scanned down the time codes on the list]

Here's the dmesg.log:
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcpelayo:
Just going to throw this out there but have your checked that reactivation lock is unchecked
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfsmart:
I'm certain that I never enabled anything like that, and on the downloading screen it says 'REACTIVATION LOCK(KK): OFF'

according to a quick google reactivation lock is only available on Verizon and US Cellular models..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fcpelayo:
I was talking about the one under settings and security. But if this isn't the problem then sorry idk.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfsmart:
I think we're talking about the same thing. Either way, thanks for taking the time, I appreciate it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Jack_Kitty:
Wow. So a few minutes after I posted this thread, I managed to get it out of this state. I just Odin-ed CWM unto the phone and rebooted from recovery mode (it became available after I used Odin to put CWM unto the phone). And...that's it. My phone was encrypted before I attempted to use a stock image to remove it so when I rebooted (after I soft-bricked it and fixed that), it continued to be encrypted (but the password wouldn't work). However, I used adb to remove that and after reboot, the phone was working perfectly again.

I just LOL'd at the image of the UL inspection doc they uploaded (I think they read my product review of their wireless charger which wasn't UL and I called them out on it). That being said they don't have a UL stamp anywhere visible on the charger brick, and since the charger doesn't come with a cable I don't see how they intend to label it as such. Part of UL is having the logo on the product as sold (You see it even as a sticker attached to cheap christmas lights), look on the Motorola QC for example you'll see the UL logo on the brick.

http://ul.com/corporate/marks/ul-li...nce-and-significance/marks-for-north-america/

http://ul.com/corporate/marks/ul-li...sing-guidelines/general-guidelines-and-rules/

Part of the point of UL is for corporate purchasers and use, and insurance (They are the Underwriter's Laboratory). Many companies (for example) will not purchase a piece of electronics unless it is UL, many resellers too will not buy a non-UL product to resell. For example if Wal-Mart sold a brand of Xmas lights that were fire-hazards and burned down people's homes that weren't UL, they could well get sued UL lets them defer liability to the manufacturer. Which is why the power bricks and chargers are being sold direct via Amazon as an intermediary and you don't see them at Wally World-UL certification.

AFAIK, the item itself and its packaging need the UL logo on it for it to be official. AFAIK.

yeah no kidding, i've been skeptical on buying chargers that lack the UL Listed / CSA logos.... anyone find a muliwall QuickCharge 2.0 (or perhaps even a 3.0) charger?

I dont even mind a single QC 2.0 port with 2 or 3 "regular" usb ports - preferably higher amps.

so far i've only found single QC 2.0 wall chargers that are either UL / CSA compliant.

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] Rackellar:
Hi everyone, just wondered if anyone is able to help me.

I dropped my XDA Orbit yesterday, picked it up and nothing was damaged and all programmes ran fine on it, as usual I switched it off overnight, turned it back on in the morning and the screen only shows 3 colours and a 2 pieces of text saying "IPL 1.25.0001" and "SPL 1.25.0000".

I tried a few reboots but it's the same everytime. I then connected it to my PC, and the computer detects it as "Unknown Device" and Vista Sync Centre doesn't detect it at all. Along with this a small piece of text appears on the Orbits screen saying "USB" when connected to the PC.

Is there anyway to recover the phone? As the ROM updates require ActiveSync to be running. Or is the phone bricked :(.

Hope you can help :)
[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
Hello everyone, what are the differences between emma with Sony Mobile Flasher. I flashed my Xperia L billion of times with (Sony Mobile Flasher by androxyde) . Then some problem occured on my phone, then I flash stock .tft file and I didn't face any problem with Service Center. They repaired my phone :D .

Now, my question is if I use Emma tool for flashing official stock rom, do my original TA return back? Of course I need to unlock my bootloader for this process, Do the Sony get my imei in a list which contain losed warranty (something like that :p)
[Sony Xperia L] sinisterzero:
No, you won't get your original TA back if you used Emma. If you want to backup or restore your TA, you can use this tool. If you are to backup your TA, however, be sure that you have never unlocked your bootloader before.
[Sony Xperia L] HMZGUPUR:
so, is there any advantage of Emma tool according to sony mobile Flasher? Do they have totally same functionality ?
