[Galaxy S6 General] JasonJoel:
No that isn't quite right. This forum is about discussion of this phone, which I have been doing. You are complaining about what you don't like about it, which there are other threads for, but is off topic for this thread.

If you don't like the phone / aren't going to buy it, then there really isn't any point in posting in here. Right?
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:
You don't need me to tell you I was discussing the phone since you said it your own post.

Now, you can click the "Report Post" icon or find something more constructive to do with your time. :rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 General] JasonJoel:
Already clicked it, and I have lots of time since I'm on vacation. Lol
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:
Yawn.
[Galaxy S6 General] PIRATA!:
Please....can you stop it?

Please talk about THIS S3 Active, as thread is about.

I personally think that Samsung has to fix the fact that it's releasing a new Galaxy that is quite different from old ones.

I mean...one of the main flags of Samsung was to have a nice design, Android os, expandable memory and battery changeable.

Now with the new Galaxy series we have an iPhone with Android os.

Ok that Samsung have made a big bounce into the future, but Samsung users are not still ready for this, or at least not for a phone that does not have a sub-version that still follows the old style.

Ok that design and technology changings are historically made with revolutions like this one, adopting new roads..but this is more similar at what have done Apple in his history of technology forwarding....but that fact is that we are not dealing with no Apple devices but Samsung's!!!
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:
**giggle**

S6 Active you mean... :p

I don't think Samsung has the same Weltanschauung that you expressed. It is focussed on sales volume and profitability for it's flagships so, whatever the iPhone-buying millions want, give it to them is now Samsung's response. As long as they are buying at prices with nice juicy margins....

Some

Samsung users are not ready for the change, most won't care.

The S6/S6 Edge are very good devices with some market-beating specs. The hope (for some) remains that an S6 Active could extend an olive branch to some of those users not happy to ditch sd cards or removable batteries. I fear it might not do either.

Personally, I care about AOSP roms, unlocked or unlockable bootloaders and open access to source code and technical specs/docs. The move to use in-house Exynos SoCs exclusively plus, Samsung's recent poor record with developer cooperation and openness means the S6 family isn't going to part me and my cash.

They remain very good devices though and.....Samsung might surprise me and release code/docs/spec to kickstart Exynos AOSP development again....
[Galaxy S6 General] Super Chimp:
If you look at the speculated Active on GSMArena it's not greatly different to the other Galaxy models, just water and dust resistant. It certainly doesn't have a card slot. People have to face the fact that Samsung have no dumped things like the card slot and removable battery for this line of phones.
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:
Saygus couldn't have hoped for better market conditions to launch the Saygus V2 with specs that should appeal to XDA members and smart-pragmatic smartphone buyers. Remains to see if it can deliver this time around....

Long live SD cards & removable batteries. :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S6 General] JasonJoel:
Lol. Give me a break.

And Saygus V2? If you want a 5" FHD phone with qualcomm processor, microsd, and removable battery you can buy it right now, today. It's called the Galaxy S5.
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:
Read my posts, I usually recommend it as Qualcomm Galaxy S5 or Galaxy S5 (Qualcomm).

What was your point again?
[Galaxy S6 General] Strategist:
The V2 does have OIS, dual speakers, dual card slots so it does pack more than the GS5. It will be interesting to see if the phone lives up to the specs.

As for the GS6 Active it would be disappointing if it doesn't come with card slot and removable battery but at least it will be waterproof and probably have a much bigger battery, enough to make it a terrific phone.
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:
Yep, the Saygus V2 does offer more than the Galaxy S5 does and is more developer friendly. As I mentioned, the loss of microdsd slot and removable battery on the GS6 family represents a great opportunity for Saygus to sell lots of it's V2 smartphone if it can deliver...

As for the GS6 Active, it is indeed a terrific phone for many, even without a microsd slot and removable battery. Not for me though, AOSP rom capability is very important to me in a device,

even if I never actually flash an AOSP rom

on the device.
[Galaxy S6 General] trein91:
I usually don't care for aesthetics. But saygus v2 is ugly as hell.
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:
I don't care if my screwdriver is ugly nor do I care that my alarm clock ia made of premium material or has a premium design.

They are tools. So is my tv, phone or computing device.

Only time I get emotional with tools is when they don't work as expected... :p
[Galaxy S6 General] MacTheRipperr:
Lol good luck with that saygus v2. Hope you enjoy it.
[Galaxy S6 General] JasonJoel:
I'm sure we'll know all about it since he keeps posting here, even though he has been clear he isn't even getting an S6... At some point it just turns into trolling.
[Galaxy S6 General] MacTheRipperr:
Yeah [MENTION=6037705]MiyagiSan[/MENTION] go somewhere else man. We see in every thread your are displeased with the s6. Go express your distaste on a thread in a forum that you support.
[Galaxy S6 General] MikeyMike01:
As opposed to 'dumb-pragmatic smartphone buyers'?
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:
[MENTION=948575]JasonJoel[/MENTION], [MENTION=4549079]MacTheRipperr[/MENTION]:

- Ignoring the personal attacks, do you have an opinion to share on the S6 Active, the Saygus V2 as an alternative (ugly or not), or anything of value in this thread?

- Do you think this thread (indeed all S6 forums) should only be for S6 sycophants?

Or smart-idealistic or indeed smart-irrational buyers.
[Galaxy S6 General] JasonJoel:
I wish they would formally announce the S6 Active if they are going to make one. That way consumers who want an S6 could decide if they want to wait or not.

As I was on vacation last week, I was thinking how nice it was that I didn't have to worry about getting a little water splashed on my S5 here and there while at amusement parks.

Starting to think maybe water resistance is more important to me than I thought...
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:
A smart-pragmatic buyer... :D

I thought an actual Galaxy S6 Active had already been spotted in the wild....and pictured too.

UPDATE: Can't find the pictures...I remembered wrongly it seems.
[Galaxy S6 General] JasonJoel:
There was a model number and specs. I didn't see any pictures though. It was an AT&T model.
[Galaxy S6 General] David_freestyle:
Please, guys, don't make this thread a war. Is for discussing about a mobile phone, not for discuss if one is a fool or not.
[Galaxy S6 General] gaspernemec:
Looking foward to this! Wanted to get M9 or iPhone, but my brother bought himself S5 active and its fantastic! Now I am impatiently waiting for S6 active. If you ask me they wont make it with removable battery (its going to be huge anyways, 3500mah + its probably much easier to make it waterproof without removable back cover) and SDcard slot, since it seems that it would affect performance of those new memory chips. I just hope they find a way to put fingerprint scanner on, since it seems like a cool feature.
[Galaxy S6 General] C0BRA01:
People that want an SD card and larger battery are much higher than 1%. I would say closer to 60%
[Galaxy S6 General] MikeyMike01:
If you're honest with yourself, you'll see it's nowhere near 60%. 6%, maybe.
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:
Sounds like you're both saying "I don't really know..."

Truth is, the S6 will sell many million units even with a smaller fixed battery and no microsd slot. Most smartphone buyers are neither knowledgeable nor pragmatic in their decision making....
[Galaxy S6 General] PIRATA!:
Come on guys!!! Samsung IS known also for the removable battery and sdcard slot, mixed with the TW interface, and for the story that Samsung had a law problem with first galaxy and its seeming similar to iPhone.
[Galaxy S6 General] das boot:
That argument has been beaten to death since March 1st. The average consumer doesn't think Samsung is known for removable back covers and sd card slots.....just people on this and other tech sites do. The S6 and S6 Edge are going to sell like hotcakes. The techno weenie crowd isn't going to make or break Samsung sales of these 2 phones....the average joe with the upgrade available walking into his local carrier store is.
[Galaxy S6 General] David_freestyle:
At least , here in this forum, there's a lot of people who disappoints with this facts
[Galaxy S6 General] C0BRA01:
I am saying that more because of the battery, than anything else, you don't have to be a power user to appreciate a larger battery.

Frankly if you were honest with yourself, you would not have jumped from 1% to 6% from one person arguing with you.
[Galaxy S6 General] MikeyMike01:
Someone else said 1%. Thanks for playing.
[Galaxy S6 General] frankgreimes:
Looks Luke Samsung is getting theirvown sheep line...
[Galaxy S6 General] das boot:
It is more like the realist line....come again

The few thousand tech nerds upset over this phone not having a removable battery or sd card slot are pennies in comparison to the millions that will, purchase this phone. My comments are based on reality, yours are based on fantasy if you don't think Samsung needed to make a change.
[Galaxy S6 General] frankgreimes:
Yes Samsung needed a change but not a downgrade. It's easily possible to make a great looking device and keep the sd card, removable battery as shown with the Note line.

When people are thinking Samsung they think about top specs, removable battery and sd slots.

It's Samsung newest flagship with 64 bit cpu off course it will sell hire much needs to be seen.
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:
The people unhappy to buy a smartphone without a removable battery, or sd slot or waterproofing aren't limited to "tech nerds" as you put it. I've heard similar comments from people living remotely or off-grid, many more who only go off-grid temporarily for a significant length of time (e.g. campers, ramblers, cyclists, sailing etc) and most wouldn't know what rom or rooting or bootloader means. No point asking them about Exynos...

Different people rate the features differently too. For some waterproofing is THE deal breaker. For others it was the microsd slot. Some point to the size of the battery or, the inability to remove the battery easily down the line when (not if) it has degraded significantly. True, it's a small sample but the kind of lifestyles they represent is shared with millions of others. That is a significant market.

As for change, Samsung's fascination with gimmicks like heart rate monitors and an ever more bloated Touchwiz with Air Views and Gestures is what ultimately limited the Galaxy S5's appeal, especially after the iPhone6 was released. It just felt sluggish compared to other options. The flaps over the USB port and that fake chrome plastic bezel did not help either. All this were unneccessary but, the point is - it wasn't the microsd slot nor was it the removable battery. The IPxx rating will be blamed for the flaps but, Sony's Xperia Z line and the Moto G (and the rumoured S6 Active) are evidence that Samsung had flap-less options but chose flaps anyway.

The S6 is technically a great device that will sell many millions. Perhaps it will become Samsung's best-selling flagship to date. However much it sells, it would have sold even more millions if Samsung had retained some or all of those features...
[Galaxy S6 General] MikeyMike01:
Now we're really grasping at straws here... :silly:
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:
My

personal

experience.

If a bunch of iPhone6 owners start telling me they would have changed but for the fact that the S6 dropped some feature they needed and why, I might mention them too. They haven't....not expecting them to either.

Your selectively quoted reply would constitute grasping at straws though. Why did you leave out the bit that these are people who are into camping, cycling, sailing, rambling etc?.
[Galaxy S6 General] das boot:
That last sentence is a stretch...even for you. I've heard some outrageous claims on here, but that one might take the cake.
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:
I don't agree that it is a stretch at all but,....what is this about....even for me?. Care to elaborate?

Anyway, a [MENTION=6171513]das boot[/MENTION] rewrite, just for you:

The S6 is technically a great device that will sell many millions. Perhaps it will become Samsung's best-selling flagship to date. However much it sells, it would have sold

even more units

if Samsung had retained some or all of those features...

Still makes the point I think...
[Galaxy S6 General] PIRATA!:
I have a lot of friends with iPhone, and all the others has Samsung galaxy S3, and just a few with S4, Note or Microsoft phones.

So I'd say 50/50 Apple/Samsung.

All the non Apple friends have asked me (repeat..ALL) if the new S6 is better then last Samsungs, and after saying "Yes! It seams amazing...but no battery removal or sd card.." most of them were surprised as the main reason of laughing to the other side, the Apple friends users, was exactly the battery drawing that was fixable with a double battery!! Most of them don't have double battery, but a lot of them have changed it after an year.

Here in Italy contracts last 30 months, and having a phone that has to use the same battery for so long is fixed in the Android/Samsung community with battery change.

Trust me..it depends on the country where are you as a phone selection to buy could depend on your needs plus the rules of the providers if that country.
[Galaxy S6 General] Strategist:
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_to_..._slot_for_the_galaxy_s6_active-news-11685.php

Apparently the GS6 Active may in fact have a card slot and removable battery. Obviously no way to know how reliable these reports are.
[Galaxy S6 General] PIRATA!:
So maybe sdcard slot and battery removal, but hard keys on front and no finger print scanner and no hart beet sensor?

What a shame...
[Galaxy S6 General] someguyatx:
I was thinking the same thing about the heartbeat sensor but I think most people buying this phone with active lifestyle will have a fitness band.
[Galaxy S6 General] PIRATA!:
I agree, intact the most bad is the home button with no finger print sensor.

Ps: 1 extra GB of ram would it be nice :)
[Galaxy S6 General] bloodrain954:
According to Samsung, less than 10% of all handsets sold use the Sd card, so...
[Galaxy S6 General] Super Chimp:
Well after all that it's the same as the regular version with a non-expandable memory and non-removable battery.

Corrected link.
[Galaxy S6 General] hella356:
Boo, Samsung! I'm giving the LG G4 a go instead. S6 with removable battery/SD would have been a no-brainer purchase for me.
[Galaxy S6 General] PinkPower:
Really???

I have been waiting on the S6 with at least water resistance, at least a larger battery (if not removable), and at least 64 GB or more or storage whether it be internal or expandable (both options would be great!).

Keep in mind the s6 is already available for those who value fashion over function. Now I am left speechless . Does anyone on the design team know what "active" means? Do real people have input? What was Samsung thinking? Active means people are on the go and need the rugged and weather-resistant design, longer-lasting battery, and more storage. The specs I saw said the only difference is the rugged case, water resistance and just 32 GB internal storage. Really? I was set to buy THIS phone. Now I do not know at all. I am now thinking of going back to iPhone and getting the Fre Power case, Samsung s5 with a battery case, or Note 4 or Note 5 if water resistane case or built-in and retains current features. :mad:

On the plus side, it is a great phone that now have water resistance and some other nice features. So does anyone know if the OTG storage devices work like for extra space when video recording? What about the MHL output to the TV. I've read conflicting information. Although I have a Chromecast, it does not work well when one has a low MB connection even though mine is considered "high speed"--it is a low "high speed". Thank you.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jonathan-H:
I'd just get an S5 active as the performance of the S6 isn't really any better.
[Galaxy S6 General] chrcol:
EE have reported spike in demand for 901f since s6 active announced no removable sdcard/battery.

[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] CatHerder12:
I got the Tab Pro 12.2 a couple of weeks ago (refurb). It worked flawlessly, so I decided to root it, etc. It no longer works.

Two points.

(BOOT 1) - On a 'normal' boot it will get past the blue swirl with about 1 second of audio, then stops with "SAMSUNG" on the screen.

(BOOT 2) - On a Pwr on/Vol- (hard) boot, it will come up with "press vol +)" at which time it boots to ODIN. No way can I get it to boot to TWRP (see following)

Conditions: Windows 10 Tech Preview, Dell XPS 18 (USB 2 and 3), latest USB driver from Samsung, ODIN 3.10, Kies 3. The tablet connects with ODIN.

I loaded CF-Auto-Root (CF-Auto-Root-v2wifi-v2wifixx-smt900.tar.md5). Success, BUT tablet reboots to BOOT 1, above.

I loaded "openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-v2wifixx.img.tar". Success, BUT reboots to BOOT1 above.

If I do a "hard" boot, I'm back with ODIN. TWRP won't boot. Tried the same with CWM (getting stupid here). Boots to ODIN. Basically, I can't boot into any recovery program.

Tried loading "SM-T900_XAR_1_20140508111550_703bt27ewy.tar". Again, loads but no joy.

Loaded the original ROM from SamMoblie. Again, no dice.

Am I screwed or what? Please help if you can. Thanks.

Try a different ODIN version.

I've come up with something similar in the past.

ODIN reports OK but nothing is really written to the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab Pro 12.2, 10.1, 8.4 Q&A, Help & Trouble] CatHerder12:
Thanks for the reply. I have tried a few versions of ODIN. One or two of the older ones didn't work at all.. Currently using 3.10.6. Maybe I'll go back and retry a couple.

With tablet in download mode: I tried Kies and it reported the tablet as an unrecognized device. Tried ADB. It didn't see the tablet at all.

Any great insights (or guesses) would be appreciated!

Thanks

Plug in the Tab and check in your computer device manager list that the device shows connected to the USB port and the drive installed is Samsung Android ADB Interface, if it isn't change it to this driver.

Make sure you are using the original USB cable and its plugged directly into the PC and not via any Hubs.

Try loading this in odin(P900XXUANB3-RecoveryImg.tar) then see if you can get into stock recovery and wipe cache and data to return to default settings. See if your stock rom loads.... If so then

flash CF-Auto-Root-v1awifi-v1awifixx-smp900.tar.md5 in odin then reboot

If all is working then flash

openrecovery-twrp-2.8.0.0-v2wifixx.img.tar

instead of the openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-v2wifixx.img.tar( this seemed to not load on my tablet pro 12.2)

See if it boots up for you.

Then you can install custom rom if you want from twrp.

I used ODIN3 v3.10.6.exe on the PC. So far, I have twrp and the stock ROM running and everything works nicely. I still haven't managed to root it. Keeps getting stuck on cache. Can it be rooted after twrp has been loaded?

I actually may try to use the tablet for a while instead of continually poking and reloading it.

[Hardware Hacking General] TheTAMAS:
Hi all!

Last night I was going through web-pages to make myself aware of the differences between the last version of Bluetooth (version 4.0) which was introduced in 2010 and it's successor, version 4.1 which was introduced in end of 2013!!

It brings 3 advantages which you can find in the article too.

Anyways, I ran into this interesting part of the article (link in the end) where it's been told that version jump isn't a hardware related (if you own a version 4.0 phone/tablet and not earlier versions) it's rather a software related jump.

So, I was wondering if anyone can find that kinda software which will do the trick for Note 3 (from Note 4) considering that both run Lollipop now and have same line of processors. :fingers-crossed:

Link-

http://www.trustedreviews.com/opinions/bluetooth-4-1-what-is-it-and-why-should-you-care

Fyki, it's in the "What does Bluetooth 4.1 mean for developers?" section.

Some, not all features of Bluetooth version 4.2 (that's why the title says, Bluetooth 4.1.5) can also be brought via software update to existing 4.0 & 4.1 devices but that'd be asking for too much.. :laugh:
