so has been past android devices.. spec wise anyway... yeah they got 20 millions "preorders" because it has a glass back and metal frame :victory:

as someone already mentioned this is likely how many devices were ordered by carriers.. how the hell would they even manage 20 million preorders when some carriers don't even have it available for preorder? so when carriers do finally have it for preorder this will be what, 100 million? geez open your eyes..
[Galaxy S6 General] tenxo:
They pointed it out for you! The CARRIERS PREORDERED that many! Not so far fetched, think the big four VZN, ATT, TMO, Sprint taking 3-4 million units a piece or a mil of each color (not to mention two variants in four colors)...plus Wal-Mart's, targets, Costco, Sam's club etc... Plus the MVNO's it's believable. The article said from carriers around the world.

Sent from my SM-G900T using AllianceR(●)m
[Galaxy S6 General] tft:
no one typically refers to carrier order as "preorders" because it's a useless number to gauge a device popularity...

"preorder" is a term that is often on the consumer side.. many of those 20 million phones could be sitting on a shelf for an entire year before they are sold.

that is why i thought people in this thread were referring to actual SOLD phones.

anyhoot ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] mgbotoe:
Thank you....

I dont know why the article even refered to it as "pre-order- lol sending the thread into a frenzy....

People will just see preorder and do not even read the article...it states pre-order around the world as in from one equater to the next...the US is a bleep in that mix lol
[Galaxy S6 General] tft:
you're right, i didn't even bother reading the article, because all i saw was the term preorder. honestly i dont even know why samsung bother reporting these numbers because they are useless.. it is nothing more than cheesy marketing.

Question for you to ponder: Is access to wifi the same as access to the internet?
[Galaxy S6 General] David_freestyle:
There's a lot of people that doesn't matter about this things, they only want to have the new models...
[Galaxy S6 General] The_Stranger:
You must not travel a lot and not be a citizen of an European country (who does that travelling).

Roaming costs, bad/non existent wifi in hotels and (for example) plane rides all makes your cloud quite unreachable.

And as someone who does travel a lot (3/4 days a week in a foreign country), I can tell you, the cloud is by far a great solution. (try using google music or access your (large) documents/movies when the internet is so slow a carrierpigeon would be the quickest option.
[Galaxy S6 General] Poetique:
Not that this is really on the subject...

With hospitality being my choice of profession, what exactly constitutes "bad" WiFi in a European hotel? Most European hotels at this point do (supposedly) offer free WiFi at this point so it should at the very least be available.

I figured the free WiFi option would probably be as crappy as the free options that tend to be offered in the US, but it'd have to be much worse than those options for it to actually be unusable for basic "cloud" access. Especially for small things such as music files. I can see movies not happening, but frankly, you can't necessarily do much with those even with "good" access in some areas.

This is the first S series phone I've been excited about since the S3. I think it's going to show in Samsung's market share this year, too (since we won't get exact sales numbers).
[Galaxy S6 General] zathus:
Well, I've watched pretty much every single hands on of this phone. And the results are quite linear. The phone's build quality is second to none. I mean, HTC has pretty much been the king of build quality since the HTC One. And one review or actually said, there is no comparison between the two. It's made that well. That, with the fact that once again everybody seems to be on the same page that the camera is second to none. And third, that there is zero, not one ounce of lag. I have never, ever even considered a galaxy phone. And I am excited for this phone.

So, 20 million. Sure. Doesn't mean there's buyers for the phone but it means Verizon, t-mobile, Sprint are paying attention and know this phones going to be huge

White 64GB S6
[Galaxy S6 General] xdafann:
My thoughts exactly.

These are major advantages which SD-obsessed people will miss while you can get a 128gb version and just live without swapping batteries ( I've honestly never seen a single person doing that, and I know a LOT of people who own a galaxy. So XDA must really represent a minority. )
[Galaxy S6 General] sheriffa:
For me, this is the ultimate deal breaker.

Fashion over function. I which these people just went out and bought an iPhone instead.

I have an S4 GPE and went through 2.5 batteries throughout a day trip to NYC for work. If I had an S6 my phone would have been a paper weight by noon. Simply does not work. I walked into at least 4 cafe's and lounges between my meetings and couldn't find a single plug to charge my laptop. I understand if the phone charges quick but if there is no electricity there is no phone, period.

For the power users I understand if they don't leave their home or work but why not just get a tablet instead? Remember the Samsung commercial in the airport where iPhone users were lined up against a wall. I guess new S6 owners will be right there with them.
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:

[Galaxy S6 General] tft:
the S3 sold over 30 million within the first 2-3 months, and those were sold units not carrier "preorders"

so if 20 million phones are what combined carriers have ordered, don't seem they think it will be as huge as the S3 which was even sold out in many places.
[Galaxy S6 General] MiyagiSan:
It will outsell all previous S models imho. Not for me but, neither is the iPhone and that doesn't sell too badly either...
[Galaxy S6 General] sheriffa:
Or...30 seconds of a battery swap in the middle of a jungle.

(No wall outlet required.)

Sign me up for a single phone and 3 batteries
[Galaxy S6 General] das boot:
It is probably a good thing that 99% of the worlds population doesn't live or work in a jungle then. You might want to consider the Active instead. Rumor is it has a 3500mAh battery.
[Galaxy S6 General] daffie:
That made me lol :)
[Galaxy S6 General] sheriffa:
The issue here is that I often travel for work in cities where I need Google Maps. That means my phone's GPS is on. I have a S4 GPE. On Monday I made a day trip to NYC from Boston. I went through 2.5 batteries from 5 AM to 8 PM. Between meetings I was running through Manhattan between 3rd and 8th trying to find an outlet for my laptop. There were none, can't blame them as the cost of a hWh has gone up 40% in 12 months, but one of the busiest financial hubs in North America did not have any outlets available to the public.

In conclusion it doesn't matter if the phone can be charged to 100% in 5 minutes if there are 0 outlets to plug into.
[Galaxy S6 General] tokuzumi:
How much space does one of those 11,000 mAh battery packs take up, compared to 2-3 spare batteries?

I also had really good luck with the ZeroLemon battery pack when I had my Verizon galaxy nexus. I could easily get 5.5-6 hours of on screen time, when it was amazing to get more than 1.5 hours on the stock battery. I think the S4 version is a 7000 mAh, or thereabouts. It makes the phone a brick, but it sounds like you need something like that.
[Galaxy S6 General] daffie:
Yeah I can see now why you would indeed need a phone with replaceable batteries. Urban jungle eh... ;)
[Galaxy S6 General] sheriffa:
To get a fair assessment of the size I compared volume of a 10,000mah charger pack from Poweradd to 4 Samsung batteries (4 because each battery is 2600mah) so that ROUGHLY equals the same amount of mah.

The Poweradd pack takes up 128.4 cubic centimeters while four S4 batteries takes up 71.82 cubic centimeters. So the 4 batteries are a lot smaller. Plus the advantage of the 4 batteries is that I don't have to have a large device wired to my phone that essentially makes it a rotary phone i'm carrying around.. (The math is not meant to be exact but get a ROUGH idea of the difference in size)

Plus the added bonus is that if I know I will only need two batteries I'm putting in my pocket only 35.9 cubic centimeters, not all 128 cubic centimeters plus a cable.

I'm not trying to be a troll but I would love a S6 GPE with a removable battery. I could care less about the glass back and any other fashion feature it has. I'm putting a case on this thing either way. I understand from a business case that they want to sell as many as possible and they need to bundle the features in this phone to ensure that. It is a pure business move which I respect.

However this guy who has owned the S, S2, S3, and S4 will not be buying anymore Samsung phones. My only hopes are the LG G4 or (if they can deliver on the promises) the Saygus V2
[Galaxy S6 General] JasonJoel:
Duly noted, this phone is not for you then; no need to belabor the point. Buy something else, and move on. ☺
[Galaxy S6 General] tft:
a 10,000mAh pack is about the size of a pack of cigarettes, maybe just a bit thinner. the biggest avantage having a pack is you can charge multiple devices at once. like a your phone and a friends,etc..

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] damej:
I'm having the front facing camera issue and hoping to find some new ideas. It's been going on for a while, so I can't remember exactly what all I've tried. But here's what comes to mind.

First off, this is with LS-KK-v3.2-2014-10-27-d2lte on two Sprint Galaxy S3s.

The stock camera failed, flashing GAPPS and trying various versions of camera between v2-2.4 fail, some AOSP camera fix patch that was posted on here somewhere didn't work, multiple redownloads and clean flashes of the ROM didn't work, BMS kernel didn't work, but did change the outcome. Before BMS, selecting the front camera would be an instant reboot and then need to have data cleared out so that the camera would default to the back camera again. BMS made front camera able to run and be seen on the phone, but will lock up as soon as you take a photo. Depending on the version of BMS, it will either hold the camera shot or go black before reboot. There's a download for an Android 4.2 camera that was supposed to be helpful, didn't work. And I've probably tried a few other things that I can't remember at the moment. Both phones have had issues the same way on these changes.

So... any ideas? Please and thank you!
[AT&T LG G3] nhusby:
Hello fellow LG G3 owners,

After much frustration, I am pleased to announce that I figured out how to unlock wifi "Mobile Hotspot" tethering without root.

1) enable debugging in developer options on your phone

2) set up android SDK and ADB on your computer

3) run this command in adb"

adb shell settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0

4) confirm it worked:

adb shell content query --uri content://settings/system | grep tether

5) go to "Tethering & Networks" in your phones settings and enable Mobile Hotspot :good:

Enable developer mode:

I'm on D850 4.4.2 custom stock rom. my build.prop is edited to show T-Mobile network icons, which disables the wifi hotspot feature. I'll try this in 5 minutes.

Edit: unsuccessful with my setup. I want to keep my TMO network icons because it increases my bars and adds the HD voice calling feature. but I can't use wifi hotspot -_-

Followed the steps. Running abd on windows cmd. USB debugging is enabled.

When I enter: "adb shell settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0"

I get an error saying "/system/bin/sh: not found"

Note: I'm on stock lollipop OTA (no root)
[AT&T LG G3] mon7707:
Thank you, worked for me, I'm on Lollipop, rooted, with twrp installed, I couldn't edit the settings.db, said it was locked, so I followed your instructions, and worked great.
[AT&T LG G3] RichieE46:
Update: After root...this method works for me. On AT&T G3 Lollipop 5.0.1 ROOTED. (As previously stated, this method didn't work for me without root)

Thanks for the post for getting it working
[AT&T LG G3] UMGixxer:
How do you run the command in terminal emulator?
[AT&T LG G3] tim1987:
Just type eveything after shell:

settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0
[AT&T LG G3] UMGixxer:
Thank you, its working on my device as of now. Does anyone know how AT&T can tell if you are tethering? I assume if they notice a large increase in data usage but idk.
[AT&T LG G3] skeevydude:
I've used tethering via tethering hacks or custom roms on AT&T without a tethering plan for four or five years now -- One time I even managed to rack up a 100GB ($900 some odd dollars worth....seriously) of overages (CM9 tethering WiFi to PC, cat unplugged WiFi router) and didn't even have to pay for it (I played stupid....learned to disable data when I do that). I even TOLD them I was tethering and they didn't care.

Your mileage may vary, but from my experiences, they don't check nor do they even care.

I mean, if I can rack up $900 in overages, tell them I did it by doing something I shouldn't even have, and then have them wipe away the charges and not have to pay for it.....they clearly just don't care and obviously don't check....or their checking method is crap....
[AT&T LG G3] agriff:
If you have root, you can also add the following line to the build.prop....

wifi.lge.common_hotspot=true

You might need to do a full wipe for it to activate the change, but your phone will no longer check for authorization.
[AT&T LG G3] curster:
Yeah I have used this method to get my Hotspot working and no luck. But when I install any custom rom I have no problem with my Hotspot and have used it solely for all data running through my house over 100 gigs one month. I'm on the $80 unlimited T-Mobile plan but that only allows for 5gb Hotspot.
[AT&T LG G3] gizak:
Thanks, I was about to go full root/rom just to get tethering, but I'm quite happy with the stock experience, so this is the bees knees for me. Here's my experience from fully stock, non-rooted, AT&T LG G3 running Android 5.0.1-

After Step 2, When you first plug your phone in, you'll get a notification for USB options... Choose Media sync (MTP). You will also have to authorize the PC.

Now you can run the first command in ADB, then second command stated grep wasn't recognized, but upon checking the phone Mobile Hotspot functioned as desired.

As for the cell provider recognizing your activity, they can, but usually don't care unless you are abusing it. One simple way they can tell you are tethering is by seeing what browser you are using..... for example, if you watch several hours of Netflix on your PC while tethered, they can go in and see you have been using the desktop version of Chrome. You could always use a VPN/Tunneling service to encrypt your data, but those usually cost a little and are slower due to the extra hop and encryption overhead.
[AT&T LG G3] pourhaus:
Awesome. Works like a charm. I used to install cyanogenmod to "stick it to the man", but discovered with the new phone that it seems my company has bundled in tethering with their AT&T contracts, so I had not bothered.

Then I found this thread and enabled it in one easy command. Now I no longer see a message about checking authorization for tethering. Stickin' to the man still has some satisfaction :)

BTW, if anyone wants to restore, "4" was the default for my 5.0.1 D85020f Build LRX21Y:

root@g3:/ # content query --uri content://settings/system | grep tether

Row: 216 _id=263, name=tethering_time, value=600000

Row: 314 _id=3525, name=tether_entitlement_check_state, value=4

It didn't work for me.

did you have to first type "adb shell" then press enter?

do i have to put a # sign?

could someone make a video of how to?
[AT&T LG G3] Kernodle:
Worked perfectly for me, just used Terminal Emulator from the phone. Only worked after I entered 'su' command and entered the lines as root.

Thanks! Works on my LG G3 android version 5.0.1, software version D85021q, kernal version 3.4.0, build number LRX21Y - pure stock with ota updates. No root.

I tried the second command first :

adb shell content query --uri content://settings/system

the "grep" won't work on windows if you don't have "grep" installed. Regardless, this would be good to see if you can connect to the phone properly. At first I got some error about server being outdated/old. But after trying a couple of time, it showed the contents.

The first time I tried adb shell settings put system tether_entitlement_check_state 0,

I got an error message as well. I just tried it a couple of times and it went through.

Tested at my gym and just now at work, and all's well.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blackham:
Hello!

I recently purchased a broken S4 with a 'flickering screen' issue. Normally, people are told to return the phone for a replacement, but I can't do that.

In more detail, the problem begins after using the phone continuously for several minutes. The phone works flawlessly regardless of the broken glass screen, but after a while, begins to flicker. Only slightly at first, but then more and more severely until the screen shuts off. Turn the screen on and off again, and it's back to normal. (you normally need to leave the phone for a while before turning it back on, or it'll quickly just flicker itself off again). This to me suggests an over-heating problem, but I can't be sure.

I've wired the phone up the the TV using cheap cable, and the flicker doesn't show on the TV. That is, the phone starts going mental, doing its flicker thing, but the image on the screen remains constantly smooth when swiping - no flicker.

So... is this an image with the digitizer or the cable attaching the digitizer to the motherboard? If the screen doesn't flicker on the TV, that means we can rule out a motherboard issue, correct?

I just want to know what part of the phone to replace really. I don't want to buy a £80 digitizer only to have the same problems once it's been replaced.

Any suggestions welcome, cheers!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Based on your testing, it's very likely that you can rule out the motherboard. Unfortunately, that leaves the screen. You'll have to replace it, and you can reuse the existing midframe, but save as much of the adhesive as you can after peeling the old screen off, as the new screen doesn't come with adhesive to mount to the midframe.

Unless of course, the place you buy the screen from includes a small roll of the stuff.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
Hello,

As [MENTION=2807229]Strephon Alkhalikoi[/MENTION] said it may depend on the motherboard.

Sometimes the kernel may be the cause too, I suggest to try first to reflash stock ROM. Here you can find how-to
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mousumst:
With due respect to Antaresone I think I've found the best solution out there for most annoying screen flickering issues...
