[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janocool:
Hi, I get this phone from a friend in the US, so I don´t know the history behind the problem. The facts are: 1.- you turn the phone and I get two lines of text (image 1) then after 5 minutes goes to the download mode (image 2). Try to flash with odin 3.09 the stock att rom and get an error (image 3 and 4); try to flash the PIT file but again flash error (image 5); try to boot the phone in recovery, safe mode, but no luck, the key combo seems not to work, just goes after some time to the download mode.

Maybe a pro can suggest what to do, warranty is out of my reach because im outside USA; if theres no solution have to sell it for parts. Thanks a lot for your attention
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TimeToPay:
I have the same exact problem. The phone was smashed and upon replacing the screen, i received this error. I am terrified it could be a hardware problem; I do not want to have to replace the whole motherboard because of its cost. At first, I tried to flash stock firmware on my SM-900A and it failed. Since the phone is having a problem reading memory, I then tried to re-partition the drive with the correct .PIT file and it also failed. I am also in need of help! Any information would be appreciated. Also whats the likelihood of it being a hardware problem rather than software because flashing always fails?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janocool:
I give up, I ended selling the phone for parts
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swatch08:
Hi

im searching a camera which makes less noisy pictures.

I read, that the FV-5 Camera can make good pics with less noise than stock cams.

But the app doesnt work good. Everything is overlighted.

I tried ucam and others. But with the M8 cam i get noise pictures :(

For example on white walls

Can you suggest me some?

Thanks :)
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TempestZ:
Instead of searching for a camera app try going manual mode on stock camera and change the ISO.

Higher ISO makes noisy picture

Lower ISO doesn't but will force you to use a slower ShutterSpeed and your pic may come out blurry

Is basic exposure
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swatch08:
ok

thanks for the hint :)

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osetivo:
Samsung's GPS accuracy seems to have taken a real hit in the last couple of years, which I have noticed mostly while playing Ingress.

I would love to hear from an Ingress player how the GPS on the GS6 stacks up to other devices.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hp79:
I don't know what Ingress is, but I know my AT&T Note3 had a mostly working GPS but the compass was broken all the time.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmm12000:
Yes, I just got the S6 two days ago and the GPS is very messed up. I can't play Ingress at all, and would appreciate hearing about any further help you've received on this.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osetivo:
Disappointing!! That's how the Note 4 was for me, so I returned it. since then, I've been using the Nexus 6. I guess there's no going back to Samsung.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shenanigans84:
Ingress works for me

I just got my S6 yesterday, and i have been playing ingress all day the GPS system works fine.

no complaints on my end
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmm12000:
Solved, I think

Yes, I figured out what it is. The default for the location beacon is "Power saving", which screwed things up. The solution is Settings -> Location -> Locating method -> GPS only. The "location method" is under the "Personal" heading of Settings. I hope this helps all those Ingress players :D
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flaystus:
This is my problem as well. My Note 4 GPS makes playing almost impossible even after a device swap. I'm considering the S6 but searching the web a few others complain here and there making me scared to pull the trigger on the S6, on the flip side though I really like Samsung phones. UGG
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] corythug:
I don't play ingress but I've used the s6 for geocaching, works just as good as my N5 did.

Was a bit worried buying this phone as the last galaxy I had was the s3 international and the compass always pointed the opposite direction. Idk if it's because I was using in the states or what but terribly annoying.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewNY:
GPS on my S6 has been great for playing Ingress. The GPS locks fairly quickly and maintains the lock even in a fairly dense urban environment.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmm12000:
Yeah, see my post above (#6). The Galaxy S6 is fine for Ingress - you just have to make sure the location setting isn't on "power-save", and make sure your phone isn't set to always search for wifi. That's what was screwing me up. As soon as I turned off the always-search-for-wifi setting, the phone switched to using GPS-only, which totally fixed the problem. Ingress works great now.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flaystus:
I did see this. I have however in my searching saw a few others who had have some GPS issues with the phone. I guess no phone is perfect.

Oh well AT&T has that return policy so I think I'm picking one up on Friday.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devarshi:
I know this is kind of old, but what kind of battery life are you getting on ingress? That's my biggest concern about getting the s6.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dandrumheller:
I'm pretty much inactive now so haven't played with the s6, but outdoors with bright screen plus GPS on, I'd guess you'll see 40% battery drain in an hour. Indoors steady screen on, browsing on Wi-Fi I get 18-20% per hour drain . This is why I carry a 14k Mah battery pack! ?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmm12000:
I actually get great battery life with the S6. I play outdoors on bright days, and with the screen on high - often can play for ~3 hours on a single battery.
[HTC Excalibur] cyansky:
Hi there,

I am about to pick up a Dopod c720w for 2500 RMB here in China, it's a Taiwanese version with no English.

My question is -- is there some kind of ROM I could install that would give me dual English/Chinese support? Or some other method? I don't want to buy the unit if it's going to be forever stuck in Chinese...

Thanks!

Matt.

*Edit* - Also, I just received a T-Mobile MDA Mail which was a mistake, because it doesn't support WiFi.... the vendor switched me away from the c720w because it didn't have English (and he wasn't even aware that the MDA Mail doesn't have Wifi). So, he'll switch me back to the c720w, but only if it is possible for me to get it running in English (with Chinese support, preferably, so that I can easily view / have friends here type stuff in).
[HTC Excalibur] denizenx:
The Dopods in Singapore are Eng+Chinese (config either or)

maybe u can try the ROMs from DopodAsia
[HTC Excalibur] 0ddball:
I have a Taiwanese one I bought in Taipei. It has both languages installed.
[HTC Excalibur] jhwo99:
When you CID unlock the phone you can install the rom you want.
[HTC Excalibur] Ice Zodiac:
mine are hongkong version and support both english and chinesse

try to go to setting press 7 (more) and then 5 (regional setting)

the first row is regional setting and i think it' changeable
[HTC Excalibur] ikkoku:
those with english + chinese, is it a CHT rom or WWE rom?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjayflo:
Those who had unlocked Galaxy phone, when do you receive your software updates? Do you get them when AT&T and TMo push them out, or when the Int'l is being pushed out? Reason I'm asking is cause I may go unlocked to be free from carrier bloatware.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slit:
Normally carriers custom their roms, meaning vanilla Int'l updates are earlier.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjayflo:
So Int'l S6 with an AT&T Sim...I'll get the update when Int'l is being pushed out?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slit:
Indeed. SIM doesn't matter, really. It's about the custom carrier rom.

[Nexus 5 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] Gene Poole:
Since at lease back in the 4.4 days of AOSP, the nexus 5 (and probably others) has had an issue with the camera when in video mode. There's a nasty green line that appears on the side of the video during playback.

It's an easy fix; just replace the file /system/lib/libmmcamera_interface.so with the one from the factory nexus image.

I have poured over the source code for this library, but I can't find out what it is that causes this anomaly nor why it is fixed in google's image, but not in the AOSP source. How can this have been an issue for so long? Am I the only one who runs self-compiled AOSP on my N5?

Anyway, does anybody have any idea what the cause is, or how to fix it in the source?
[Nexus 5 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] Sick1:
Hello!

I started searching to fix that issue this morning and i ran in to your post. Ive been building a while from aosp sources with minimal editing only, and i think this hasnt happened with 5.0.2 for me. Now that ive merged 5.1 into the source, i saw it happening again.

I checked few trusted developers vendors, blobs, etc. And i managed to make this:

https://github.com/sicknemesis/android_vendor_lge/commit/de6831773e3e083cef8d53f344f0a03f6a604268

As i write, im flashing and bootin a rom build with this commit and it seems its working correctly now.

All credits to original authors as seen in original commit! Hope this was the thing we are looking for and i see not lot of people check this Developer Discussion forum :D . I DO!
[Nexus 5 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] Gene Poole:
Wow, so the N5 was never intended to use the AOSP version of that library. I never checked the qcom binaries nor noticed that it was included there.

Thanks for this!
[Nexus 5 Developer Discussion [Developers Only]] arararagi:

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseline01:
Hi guys and gals,

Looking for some advice from more experienced and wiser users such as yourselves.

My Z1 has just crapped out on me, meaning it took a huge fall and crapped itself all over the pavement.. Sigh...

As such, I'm in need of a new phone. As we all know the S6 and the M9 are up for grabs and in my country, the unlocked price between these and the Nexus 6 is pretty much the same.

So the question is, do I buy one of these or is the Nexus still a valid option?

I mean, the S6 has a beautiful display but Exynos stands for a very complicated third-party development theatre and Samsung has a ******ng horrible policy regarding upgrade cycles, screwing everyone and their pooch in the process.

As for the M9, while a fine device, it isn't Quad HD and I'm really hankering for one of those, Plus... It does have that shiny new 64bit SoC inside...

Do you guys still think that the 805 can hold it's own against this new breed of SoC's?

TIA.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
Hi, a bit of advice if I may. If you're waiting for something better, then you'll always be waiting. In my opinion, the Nexus is an amazing device but not in the same category as the other two you mentioned. This is a "phablet", meaning it is large. Much larger than either of the other phones you're considering. So take that as a factor in your decision. Also, the Nexus will get updates faster and probably for longer than those two. Just look at the likes of the Nexus 4 and 5. As for performance this device will continue to hold its own as it is pure, unskinned Android. Good luck with your choice but I recommend trying to get some " hands on" time with any device you're considering.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kjdocs:
I have been a Samsung Note user, the 2, 3, and recently the 4. Great phones, but i was on ATT and the 4 is totally locked. I just couldn't stand touchwiz anymore. Not that it was bad, but i was tired of not having the ability to install or delete whatever i wanted on my phone.

I gave up the Note 4 for the N6. The N6 doesn't have quite as nice of a screen, and it doesn't get as bright for direct sun, or as low in complete darkness. Other then that i couldn't be happier. I find that having the flexibility to do what i want is far better then being locked into a device and it's software.

I think for each person it's very personal choice about what they want to do with the device they are buying.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3f62011:
Got my N6 9 days ago, unlocked bootloader, updated to Android 5.1, and rooted the phone right away.

N6 is great.

My previous phone was HTC Vivid (4.7 inches) -- now the 4.7 inch phone looks too small:).

Edit: I always wanted to have a Nexus device, since it is very easy to unlock its bootloader, and root the device.

I bought my Nexus 6 from amazon.com, so no AT&T traces anywhere on the phone:) No, AT&T bloatware either.

You can install android updates (it you need to) without any delay.

Also, by the end of my day, N6 battery shows 67% residual charge.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baseline01:
Thanks for all the input guys.

Pulled the trigger today and it's quite an imposing device.

Fiddled around with the S6 on the store and I must say that I walked away thoroughly unimpressed. The screen and feel of the device are difficult to fault but man... That touchwiz is really urghh!

In conclusion, the N6 was certainly a great choice.

Cheers.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OnlyUsernameThatIsntTaken:
Hey guys, so I have a Galaxy S5 (Product Name: SM-G900V) running verison and updated to version 5.0 (lollipop) I'm trying to get it rooted but its not working out too well. I read online and the first thing I tried was to download towelroot. Thing is, when I press on the lambda logo what happens is the phone keeps trying to open it and every single time using a new tab so it just goes into an endless loop until I exit out using my home button and kill all processes. Next I tried to do it manually using odin. I used this video (I tried to attach the link but since Im a new user it wont let me post links but you can easily find the video I was refering to by typing in "how to root android 5.0 lollipop on samsung galaxy s5 easily" and its by Inam Ghafoor) to help me with the process only problem is when I tried running odin instead of it being successful like it was in the video on my phone I get an error which is as follows

UDC START

SYS REV CHECK FAIL : No Version

any help would be appreciated, thanks

You need to Odin down NCG. Then use towelroot. Use Odin 3.09

See the notes #5 to see how to start because you don't have root yet. Once you gain root you can go back to the top of the post to see how to Odin back to lollipop and keep root.

Hello there,

I've been using WM5.0 Helmi AKU 3.5 for several weeks without any problem but one day (today), my phone suddenly say NO SERVICE

i can't make a call or receive a call although when i call my number, it connect allright (No busy signal or inactive announcement) BUT the BA didn't ring at all. It is as if there is no phone call.

anyone have experienced this? Would hard reset help? I've tried soft-reset several times but didn't help. Change the SIM card as well and the sim card still show NO SERVICE

I was also stuck in "No service" at one point while trying some profile managing software. I managed to get out of it the following way:

open Comm Manager

click on the top left phone icon

wait 10-15 sec, if nothing happens do a soft reset

Open Comm Manager again

click on the phone icon again

the phone gave me the PIN input screen and it worked fine afterwards...

Just in case somebody gets stuck - you can try the procedure above and hopefully it will work.

Hi. I am an ATT user and I am about to buy an unlocked awesome SM-N900T Tmobile Note 4.

I had started reading threads regarding this.

For myself as a starter, I just need to confirm the following :

1) for a TMO Note 4, can I flash an ATT custom rom?

2) what's your recommended custom to try first?

3) any other issues that will affect ATT signal/data performance?

- i had read about rooting

- sms issue when wifi enabled

- read about ATT APNs

I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mletchworth:
First of all, N900T is a Note3. Still a good device, but not a Note4. You want a N910T.

I was in the same boat as you. I bought an unlocked T-mobile Note4 and I'm using it with my AT&T SIM. It works great. I'll answer your questions as best I can:

1. There really aren't any custom ATT ROMs yet because the N910A isn't rooted. But you can flash a custom T-mobile ROM and use it on AT&T's network.

2. I like Rapture ROM. Soon there will be some custom stable lollipop ROMs available too.

3. The N910Ts are apparently missing an LTE frequency band that AT&T uses overseas. This thread has more info too http://xdaforums.com/note-4-att/general/official-t-mobile-910t-att-thread-t2962920
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Face_Plant:
1. No. You will brick your phone.

2. I like FireKat, but that's my personal preference. There is no "best ROM" so try them all and see what you like.

3. I had no issues getting my N910T to work on AT&T. I just needed an unlock code and I had service instantly. I get a better signal and data speeds than I got with my AT&T branded Note 3.
