[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majkelosmorgoth:
So i just wanted to root my Note 4 (Exynos variant) using CF Root and it got bricked. The odin started to flash and suddenly it went red "Fail". Phone doesn't boot, I really have no idea what was the reason... USB Debugging was enabled, I turned off Knox and antivir while using Odin, also was running OEM USB calbe, drivers were installed. Phone was running XEO 5.0.1 untouched firmware. What to do now?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RISHI RAJ:
see if download mode works.If yes flash stock firmware of your phone.Possible reason could be you downloaded wrong file of other model or maybe there could be a separate file for lollipop
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majkelosmorgoth:
download mode actually works, is there any rom with full wipe & repartition?
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Archiimonde:
You shouldn't need to repartition, but you can find the full stock rom on sammobile.com. Just click firmware and enter your model number, and find your country.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greatgrandking:
thats sort of scary....it got bricked without doing anything wrong..
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zionator:
Its not a brick as it still boots into download mode so its a soft brick. After my experience soft bricks are common and easy to fix as long as you got access to download mode.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rogerperk:
Just upgraded to Lollipop and the voice on my navi has changed to something akin to fingernails on a chalkboard. How do I change it back to a human voice?? I have an S5.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCSamerica:
I upgraded my unrooted Galaxy S5 to lollipop and it was bad, slow, freezing a lot. I disabled many Verizon-bloatware apps and lollipop is now a buttery smooth beautiful thing!

What pros & cons would rooting a phone generally give me for an average user's experience?

Most importantly, I'm looking to take & convert this S5 phone (and my daughter's Galaxy S3) to T-Mobile this weekend and want to make it all T-Mobile ready. Any insight, thoughts, suggestions, especially if I wanted to root or factory reset my phone but keep app data (such as Kung Fu Pets ;) )?

I've been told by friends and cell providers these phones are already unlocked and can easily switch networks, no worries of voice or data settings on my part, TMo's WiFi calling will work as if I bought the phone from TMo, etc.

Thanks all!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrv331:
This is my opinion only, with that being said for the average user there is no advantage to being rooted. The average user is not interested in flashing new roms or freezing apps beyond what Verizon allows. The average user wants to turn on their phone and go on their merry way. If something goes wrong they want to call Verizon and have they fix it for them. They would never touch Odin.

With that being said, because your in this forum your more than the average user. If you wan to freeze or uninstall more Verizon/Samsung bloat you need to be rooted.

As for moving to a different carrier I'll let some one who has done that chime in.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCSamerica:
Thanks! It won't be a Verizon phone for long, so I guess with rooting it and installing a known stable release be a good idea to get rid of Verizon's bloatware (and maybe some of Samsung's) while keeping a good, hard-working phone? I noticed a big difference disabling what I'm allowed to with Verizon's apps and maybe that's enough, I don't know - any place to research which Verizon and/or Samsung apps are safe to disable (if rooting it & installing a stable release doesn't already remove them)?

Oh, also, is there where I'll go to get future updates since I'll no longer be part of Verizon, and T-Mobile will probably not update my phone since I didn't buy it from them?

Thanks again!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCSamerica:
Through a couple phone calls, T-Mobile reassured me both my S3 and S5 would work just fine, everything just the same except I'll have to make sure the phone is unlocked. They also said on both calls that their WiFi calling would most definitely work. Verizon, though a half dozen calls, gave me a different "unlock" story each time. So much for trying to be prepared...

Neither the S3 or the S5 work as expected. The S3 uses the far inferior network speeds and takes about 3 minutes just to send a pic text, and that's only if we're using Hangouts - stock Messages or Verizon's Messages+ don't work on the S3. The S5, I get a lot of "Data (Network) connection lost", setting the time errors, I can't access my voicemail or change my voicemail phone number (not sure if that is a new issue).

So with all this in mind:

1) is the S3 using an inferior data speed network due to hardware limitations or settings I can change?

2) would rooting my S3 and S5 alleviate a lot or all of these issues?

3) any way to get TMo WiFi calling to work on a Verizon phone? Would rooting it allow me to install a TMo version Android?

4) how do I go about updating Android on these phones now that they're off Verizon and not officially TMo phones?

5) any suggestions to fix any or all of these other issues?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapunzl:
1) probably, but I haven't checked the specs.

2) probably not. The APN in your phone needs to be changed to the right settings for your mobile carrier. It's under Settings/More Networks/Mobile Networks. You should be able to google the settings for TMo.

3) The APN may resolve the issue, if the phone allows for it.

4) If you root, you can do it. You may be able to get OTAs with the new sim, but I can't for Consumer Cellular.

5)Again, the APN will solve a lot of issues. The voicemail number needs to be changed to your carrier's voicemail number under Phone Settings.

5)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCSamerica:
1) probably hardware limitations or probably settings I can change?

2 & 3) the APN was already set by the TMo in-store rep, and google search confirms it's the correct setting.

5) voicemail number just won't change! Ug, I've google searched this issue too, no luck, and it seems many Android 5.0 users have this issue unless they factory reset - an option I'm hoping to avoid for a last resort.

I have noticed by disabling Verizon apps, much is working better, but I'm wondering if Verizon made these apps imperative for the system to run properly...?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapunzl:
How did you disable the apps? If you used TiBU, there have been discussion of issues in some threads.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCSamerica:
I used the Android's built-in disable feature (since it won't let me uninstall it).
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapunzl:
The only thing I can think of then, is that one or more of the disabled features are required to make things work properly. I would unfreeze the apps and then freeze them, one-by-one to find out which are causing the issues. Other than that, Kies may be able to repair the install if you don't have luck with unfreezing the apps.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCSamerica:
Easiest step is to try the enable/disable apps as you suggested. Have you, or anyone out there, tried loading another's stock software onto a phone before doing a factory reset?

See this page: http://www.andromods.com/download-files/tmobile-galaxy-s5-stock-firmware-sm-g900t.html

It gives me the impression all S5's are the same hardware. If that's true, then why can't I install TMo's stock software in the recovery partition, then do a factory reset? (Another worse case scenario, but possibly more of a thorough cure)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapunzl:
If you read toward the end of that post, it says:

I've also seen a thread talking about doing this for a TMo user on the Verizon S5, but I'm on Consumer Cellular, so I'm not sure if it would really work. Even if it does, I'm not sure if that would solve your issues, and I hear you're risking bricking your phone attempting it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCSamerica:
Not sure if I already mentioned, but sadly a couple T-Mobile reps assured me everything would work great. Not. A factory reset did help a lot, but I keep getting these oddities that TMo is now saying I just have to live with, now that my trial period is over. So any ideas and help would be great!

"Data network unavailable" often appears after a phone call and lasts for a few seconds or longer. In that time, I can't get Maps to find anything, among other issues. This error appears at random times otherwise, but most consistently after a phone call.

"SIM error" happens periodically. I'm not sure the pattern yet, but maybe after a couple phone calls in a row, or call swapping. The only way to fix this is to reboot the phone.

The top status bar bounces between "H+" and "3G". I haven't found a pattern as to when or why, but often can't do much with the phone until it settles down, if it settles down.

Everything I've read and originally heard lead me to believe this S5 should work much better than it is, as if some APN or data setting is wrong. I've triple checked and they seem to be set properly, but I don't know anymore...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] rmp5s:
I've been noticing some slight lag in unlocking, the screen coming on, etc on my new Note 4 from time to time. I've found that going in the app switcher thing and clearing all remedies the issue for a bit.

I was curious recently and looked at the RAM usage in that screen and was surprised to see that ~2.1GB of RAM was being used, even after clearing all recent apps.

Is it normal for the thing to be using over 2GB of RAM at all times? This seems very strange to me.

Thoughts?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] nyydynasty:
I'm pretty sure its normal because mine is also using 2GB after clearing all. After a reboot, it dropped to 1.6GB before manually launching any application. I'm pretty sure Android is designed this way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] greekunit690:
The way android is made and runs, it uses almost all RAM at all times... Basically "unused RAM is wasted RAM." All of our phones have run this way since the time of I'm.

Now, with respect to lag, that's all the bloatware forcing itself to be the main process or close to it. Only way is to fully delete (not only disable) all of them and their underlying processes.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Citadel69:
So I have a T-mo rooted Nexus 6 running stock rom and kernel presently. I would like to decrypt the phone as I've heard/read I will see an improvement in both performance and battery life. So first question is what would be the best/easiest method to do this and second will I lose root and have to re-root after decrypting. Thanks in advance for any help.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Evo_Shift:
Basically you will have to flash a different boot image that disable the encryption flag.

This will require you to completely wipe your device and start over. Yes, you would have to re-root but if you know how to flash a stock no-encrypt image then rooting is easy and simply requires you to flash the current SuperSU zip from recovery once you are all set up.

Basically follow the long version of this guide. Technically you don't need to flash completely stock and couold just follow the guide in the next section but if you have to factory reset anyway I would want to start fresh:http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/general/guide-flash-factory-images-nexus-6shamu-t2954008

But use this no-encrypt boot image instead that matches the stock google rom you flash:http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6/development/disable-forced-encryption-gain-root-t2946715

Once that is done you can flash recovery (or simply boot into TWRP temporarily if you want to keep the stock recovery) and flash Supersu.zip from here and then you're rooted again. I think you could also flash TWRP in the first step above when you are going back to stock but I usually do it at the end for some reason:http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1538053

[T-Mobile LG G3] showbo:
Hey everyone,

I am needing assistance on what ROM is good to run for my T-Mobile LG G3, unlocked device, on AT&T? Just to get it going, I wiped everything, including external SD, and had to run the flash tool and go with the C (stock) rom, then rooted with Stump root. I installed Dirty Unicorns, to get it going, but quickly ran into trouble.

Battery doesn't display correctly (100% all the time) and, I know its a feature thing, but when I Google search for numbers to call and click on numbers, it doesn't auto place them in the call screen. Also, my phone will randomly lose all cell signal (maybe its a modem issue??). When it loses signal it shows, to me, every possible APN in the world. When it is working, it only shows AT&T APNs.

Again, just looking for some guidance with anyone with knowledge of going to AT&T. Even pointing me in the right direction would awesome. Thanks in advance guys.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XeoNoX:
I am really disappointed @ ‪#‎Samsung‬ !!! what have they done to the S6!! No removable battery, no water resistance, and worst of all NO MICRO SD card!! ‪#‎thenextbigflop‬‪. Samsung is going down hill, what a shame. One step forward and 3 steps back....i was really looking forward to it, i owned the S1, S2, S3, S4 and skipped the S5 figuring ide wait for the S6...now after the wait i'm really disappointed, i'de figure they would add some improvements, not remove the previous improvements.... Anyone else feel the same way? List those reason, maybe Samsung will listen, although it may be too little to late, they will lose major market share in premium handsets because of this move.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balazsyb:
yeahh i'm pretty sad too... no removable battery, no extended storage.... it quite annoys me that the jack-port is on the bottom, and oh, if we are at the bottom: my first thought was "oh look, an iphone 6!"
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japultra:
I actually loved what they did with the S6. I had the S3 and S4, completely ignored the S5, but now Samsung has my attention again. I've never needed a microSD card and if battery life can last me 24 hours, that's really all I need. I have to say, I am very impressed overall with the S6.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l.f.hant:
I don't like the fact that it is no longer waterproof.

I have an S5 and although I don't dunk it in water, I do like the fact that I don't have to worry if I'm out and about in wet weather. From a simple mechanical engineering perspective, I would have thought the S6 would be easier to make waterproof than the S5 - smaller (USB2) port, sealed back, etc.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
Well, I am pretty disappointed in the new Samsung S6. With the changes from the S4 (which I have), to the S5, and now the S6, it is pretty obvious Samsung does not have a concrete strategy and are just trying a shotgun method and see what sticks. The fact that they took out the removable battery feature and also MicroSD card is a deal breaker for me and I won't be purchasing the phone or any similar models like it in the future. This is just me personally, but if I were going to buy the S6 like it is right now, I'd rather just get the new Nexus 6 instead.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZephCr:
Totally disappointed, what happens when the battery starts going, we all know that'll happen down the road. Also why the hell should I buy a more expensive model for more gigs when I have a 128g sd card. I waited so long for this like you all I skipped the 5. Guess I'll have to get a note 4 with my upgrade and if they continue what they're doing I'll have to switch company's in the future.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aqua1ung:
Here are the cons in my view, in decreasing order of importance:

Exynos instead of Qualcomm's 810, which means most likely no quality custom ROMs

not waterproof

no exchangeable battery

no SD card, hence be extra careful with them factory resets
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoeFCaputo113:
1. Not true at all....

2. The S5 isn't WATERPROOF either..

3. I seriously wonder how many times you've changed your battery?

Please get your facts straight before posting ignorant things like this :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
So far I had almost all Galaxy phones, even started with an Omnia. I had the Spica, S, S II, S3, and now I own Note 3. But the S4 was not much more than the S3, so I bought the Note 3, specially for the big screen. The S5 was good again, but smaller than my Note, and not much faster. The Note 4 didn't have any real improvements over the Note 3.

But this one? It probably means no custom roms, another KNOX flag, no SD card, and you can't rip the battery out if it boot loops. And it's just too expensive. I think, I'll try out an Asus Zenfone 2 with 4GB RAM and 64 bit x86 processor.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MadBob:
I permenantly carry a spare battery with me for my S4 and swap it out at least a couple of times every week. I also need to have 128GB space on top of my internal RAM. so I am not happy at all about this release.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thy.flesh.consumed:
I've posted in several threads already, my requirements for phone are pretty simple:

- AMOLED display

- Capacitive buttons below the actual display with hard home button

- Removable battery (for the inevitable time when it starts losing its charge)

- SD card because I do not want to keep everything in the cloud and because I do not want to pay megabucks for 64GB+ of onboard storage

- Cyanogenmod support

- Not too big (no phablets for me, even 5.1" is pushing it for me)

- Easy to repair if something breaks

Up until now Galaxy S line was perfect for me. Without removable battery or storage S6 has lost a lot of its appeal to me. The exynos processor is also hard to develop for, if you google, exynos processors have a very spotty Cyanogenmod support. Because of all this S6 is a non starter for me.

I've said it before, I think the new S6 look good if not downright gorgeous, but I cannot ignore the drawbacks. I'm sure Samsung will sell S6 in record numbers, I'm just sad that it's getting harder if not impossible to hit all the bulletpoints on my list. S4/S5 were the last phones where I didn't have to compromise on anything on my wish list. After S5 I'm going to have to give up one or the other feature if I ever want to get a new phone.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paleman27:
Not much to add. I concur 100% with everything you said, and I mean everything!!! I also owned the S1, S2, S3, S4 and skipped th S5... Battery and Micro SD, super deal breaker for me!!! What they were thinking? Where did they do they mktg research??? Certainly not here! I'm so freaking upset....

What other premium Android phone has a removable battery and micro SD? I can't give up any of those 2. I have four (4) spare batteries for my S4. My S4 has rarely seen a wall plug in the last year...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
I wonder if the new Note will have this set up as well ? I take a lot of pictures, so I use the MicroSD card extensively and that was one of the main reasons I got rid of my iPhone (among many) was because Apple was gouging just to have internal storage.

Like the other posters, I may look either at an older version or the Galaxy or another phone. The LG G3 actually created a removable battery from the G2 and has a microSD.

I believe the HTC M8 has a microSD but no removable battery. Of course the Nexus is just like the new Galaxy S6 except more custom ROM friendly.
