I am rooted and have been on OCF for a while now. But it wont let me accept the OTA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] kleen3r:
Then you need to use Odin and flash the stock firmware in the link I posted earlier. This will undo root and keep your data. Then you can take the OTA and use pingpong to root again.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The.Jericho.Initiative:
I've been out of the Android game for a while now, my last device was a 1st gen Motorola Droid, Android 1.6. I'm coming back because I like the granular access the environment provides and I want the ability to tighten controls on my privacy, including UFED/XRY protection, and future IMSI detection/protection. Android just feels more relevant now than it did a few years back.

The iPhone spoiled me in terms of build quality and finish; I like metal, I like glass and I dislike plastic immensely... That said, the only two phones that look at all interesting are the M9 and the S6 Edge... I've preordered a Gold S6 Edge that will ship in a few weeks time. Between the two, in my eyes, there's really no comparison... I like how uncluttered touchwiz looks; I dislike Sense very much. The S6 screen blows the M9 out of the water, basically I'm just very enamored with the phone, the M9 almost completely bores me... I don't care about boom sound. At all.

I should mention I've been on Verizon for about a decade.

That said. I've been reading about older models (S4, S5, Note) trying to get a handle on the development situation and it doesn't look promising. I'm confident the S6 will be rooted, I know not everyone is, but I'm concerned that Samsung's bootloader and Exynos architecture are going to complicate the hell out of modding this phone.

I don't NEED custom ROM's (though I would love CM12) but I do need root. Running xposed/xprivacy, AFWall+ and other such apps demand it. So what's the general opinion? I don't have a feel for the community or the history anymore and that's why I'm asking... Are these concerns warranted or does probability say we'll move past them and the S6 will be a fine choice... Input welcomed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] JasonJoel:
I wouldn't buy it expecting root any time soon (maybe not at all?).

I'll give the same advice I always give to someone that says they 'need root'...

Never buy a phone until AFTER root had been discovered/released. Period.

Phones are getting harder and harder to root, especially on devices with locked boot loaders.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] junksecret:
I would agree with the previous poster...if root is a must I would tread with caution. The Samsung Note 4 has about $40,000 in combined bounties available for root & for not tripping KNOX, neither has been achieved yet......see thread linked below.....

I thought they already achieved root in the Samsung S6 edge forum. Not Verizon, but the general s6 edge forum

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elliwigy:
thats because the international variant does not have a locked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] V-Ty:
Right! I know our bootloader will never be unlocked but I think we will achieve root sooner then later. Obviously this is all guessing on my behalf but I think this phone is a popular phone and if some of the big developers buy this phone it will have a good chance of root. I know the story of the note 4 cause I just gave it to my wife and checked daily thinking it might be the day of root. But I don't think any of the top developers had a note 4. This is again not a statement of facts, just my guessing. Hopefully I'm right!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The.Jericho.Initiative:
Honestly that was my hope as well. I figured that since the Note was more of a niche device than the S6 will be, combined with the Chainfire deal already out, that we might have something here... It sucks, I don't hop devices often, so I put a lot of effort researching them and what I might be left with is beautiful but root SOL or good to go but boring One M9.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] JasonJoel:
All I'm saying is that you don't buy a phone for what it MIGHT do in the future.

If you NEED root, you buy a phone that already has it. Period.

My understanding is that as of this past February ALL cell phones must be SIM/bootloader unlocked according to the law.

http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...u-sim-unlock-your-phone-heres-the-fine-print/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] geoff5093:
That's only talking about SIM unlocked devices.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Sparky1306:
From what I understand, all cellphones must have the ability to unlock the SIM (NOT the bootloader) after you have paid for the phone. Some carriers will unlock them sooner or don't lock them at all.

But the main point is, the law (according to my knowledge) does not mention "bootloader" at all.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] The.Jericho.Initiative:
SIM unlocking is what they seem to be talking about.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denoflions:
My sister acquired a Galaxy S5 on Craigslist that is seemingly soft-bricked. It boots up until part way through the animated Samsung logo and black screens.

The model is SM-G900A according to the sticker under the battery and it is an AT&T phone. I've attempted to follow one of the recovery guides floating around here to reflash the stock firmware, but I'm still stuck at the exact same place where it goes black during that Samsung logo.

If someone would be so kind as to point me to the correct guide if one exists on how to recover from this.

If more information is needed I'll try to provide it as best I can.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisuoft:
I updated Google maps on the s6 edge and Google maps no longer says the street names. It only says "turn right now" rather than turn right on xyz Street.

Second issue, I'm coming from an s4, and before if I pushed the volume down button, it would go to vibrate, and if you pushed it once more, it would mute the phone. This doesn't work on the s6 edge, it stops at vibrate. Was this removed with lollipop?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sub-Woofer:
Hmm, maybe you should check your text-to-speech settings?

And the the second question: Yes, thats lollipop :( !

Bye, Peter
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisuoft:
After doing some research, it appears that the newer versions of Google maps don't use the same text-to-speech option as the settings menu within the phone. They all default to the same female voice which doesn't say street names.

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling both google maps and google text-to-speech, clearing the cache from both, and ensuring the system language is all set to English (United States).

I have also tried downloading Samsung's high quality text-to-speech voice pack without any success, and installing Innova.

The only solution I can think of is downloading a Google Maps APK prior to 9.2.0, which is when I believe the issue started to arise. The problem I have is that the S6 edge comes with 9.2, and I'm not sure how to downgrade. I can only uninstall the updates from Application manager, but it still leaves 9.2 intact and won't allow me to install a prior version APK.

Is this something that requires root access? I'd rather not have to root my phone in order to get google maps to work!

Thanks for all of your help,

Chris

[Galaxy Note 4 General] galaxynote2:
Well, I love how my Note 4 looks. But I (and everyone) hate how it looked two days after I bought it. SCRATCHES, SCRATCHES EVERYWHERE. I didn't thought it that much. I picked up my car polisher and started rubbing all the frames of it, not even the chamfered edges. After that the phone looked absolutely amazing, with shinny chromed edges and a glossy, premium feeling white stripe instead of the matte one. 3 months after I've got it; the edges began to get black and oxydize (very litle holes on it). The polisher only removed the black tint of it still have that rustic feel on it. So I took a product that it's called "CiF" here in Argentina. It's a highly abrassive polisher that works for almost everything in your house (Kitchen, electrodomestics, car parts, etc) and started with it:

[IMG="polisher"]http://4vientos.mx/revista/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/Cif-crema.jpg[/IMG]

After that, the chromed edges now looked gray, like unpainted, but these little holes were dissapeared!

Then I took my car polisher, to give the chrome look back again. This time I used another cream which seems to be less abrassive and applies (I don't know if it's true or not) a protective coat on it:

Sonax it's a pretty famous german company that's one of the best polisher brands in the world, yes it's expensive, but does his job very well.

After almost 2 hours rubbing my phone, it started to shine..

(note: the back part of the phone were almost 100% black. Notice how it looks now)

So, my phone now looks like new yet again. I have some warnings for you:

-Don't rub your phone so much with an abrassive product: It could damage it

-Cover your screen with tape BEFORE doing this process: Abrassive products damages the oleophobic coating that the gorilla glass have.

-Put your battery out of the phone so no energy is on it: Any abrassive product is liquid and higly conductive. If mistakenly enters a bit of it on the USB jack, it could make a circuit break and make your phone unusable

-Be sure to clean all the ports and microphones before turning your phone on again

-DON'T USE FAKE COVERS. If the original Spigen scratches your device, don't think about a fake one. I have one, it's a S**************T and destroyed my device, still some huge scratches are there and no polisher can remove them. Here's a pic, notice the bad quality of the plastic and "NEO HIB RYD" typo:

Well that's my little story, I hope this will help to anyone who wants to make his Note 4 shinny again! Good luck!

I'm back with Android after about 1 1/2 years with IOS iPhone 6. Is there a app that comes close to Apples iTunes Radio? I got used to listening to that because it was built into IOS.

Not sure this is EXACTLY what you're looking for, but IHeartRadio is a legit online radio service. You can't find specific songs like Pandora, but you can find radio stations who are simulcasting online along with their terrestrial broadcasts.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elite001mm:
Problem: My vs980's touchscreen is at times erratic and sometimes will not register touches in the statusbar area therefore rendering the phone mostly unusable. This first occurred about 2 days ago but wasn't bad. It went away and i didn't think anything of it but today it's back and much worse. Note that i didn't flash any new rom or make any real changes to my phone in the period that this happened.

------------------------------------------------------

Info:

Phone: vs980 ROM: Xdabbeb's VS980 1.1.0

------------------------------------------------------

Symptoms:

-The screen usually won't register taps/downward swipes in the statusbar area.

-Pinching the phone tightly together doesn't help any(it had been reported that doing that fixed some issues that some people had)

-Phantom taps in the statusbar area (which cause the screen to turn off. this happens as frequently as 10-ish second intervals)

-The phantom taps/Unresponsiveness seem completely isolated to the statusbar area (i mean, to the best of my ability to detect, exactly the pixel space the statusbar takes up, i tried this at 480 and 400dpi)

-Knock Code will not usually work with the screen off. Sometimes it's iffy with the screen on.

-The screen seems to be able to detect swipes in a direction parallel to the statusbar (ex: i can move a launcher screen left/right from the statusbar area, but it won't register a tap a downward motion in the statusbar area)

-I booted into recovery and weird things seemed to happen. There seemed to be a few phantom taps(which is dangerous) I reflashed my rom and that didn't help.

-I left the phone alone plugged up in a window for 30 minutes or so. The problem went away for 10 or so minutes and came back. Not sure if that matters..

-When scrolling or anything involving movement, the phantom taps basically make it hell to do anything

-----------------------------------------------------

Things I've tried:

-Updating touch fw in hiddenmenu. It appeared to fix it for all of 30 seconds. Knock Code worked with the screen off. But then it just came back.

-Reflashing my rom

-Rebooting

-Wiping cache/Dalvic

-Cleaning the screen/Hands

----------------------------------------------------

What i haven't tried:

-Complete TOT back to stock- I really don't want to do this :(

-Any more ideas?

----------------------------------------------------

Help is very much appreciated :)

1. check if the music app has a take wakelock feature and enable it.

2. install better battery stats and look if yo find an alarm/wakelock called audiomix, this alarm is neccesarry for audio playback

3. reflash rom?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SirRhor:
Seems like the audio drivers are corrupted. At that point I would just clean flash the ROM. But first try to do a dirty flash of your current ROM so the same drivers get installed once again, with no data wiping. If that does not work, I would just clean flash.
