[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1ns4nity:
Has anyone figured out how to get the soft menu button back after it was replaced by the app switcher button?

Press and hold of the app switcher just triggers the multi-window mode.

I use an app that has no menu in their interface and really need this button back!

Help!

Thanks!

Hello everyone,

I have problem with my n7000.

I wasn't able to charge my phone. So I ordered new usb port piece and new battery.

Now I'm able to charge my phone just via PC USB. Wall charger does not charge it (tested 4 chargers / power banks).

Any clue what can be bad? I thougt that power pins are same for pc usb charging and wall charging.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Artasdmc:
Greetings.

I'm thinking of buying a new phone and it's either LG G2 or I9506 (It's S4 with 4G and snapdragon 800).

And from various benchmarks, futuremark's slingshot as an example, it beats even S5 and any 800 snapdragon device.

Is it really that fast in real life performance? I know that Samsung is cheating on bechmarks by overclocking CPU/GPU while benchmark is running.

So how does the I9506 perform in real life? How does it handle games?

I watched videos of LG G2 running games with FPS meter on and Asphalt 8 dropped below 30 constantly at max settings.

This is the video: https://youtu.be/2IOvC5NUng4?t=4m38s

It's been 1 year since the video so the game might have been optimized for quad cores since Gameloft is known to port games to android from iOS, so that means they don't use more than 2 cores. This was also present with GTA games.

Could anyone install an FPS meter and do an Asphalt 8 benchmark on their phone and compare if it runs better?

I'd be really grateful since this is going to be a huge purchase for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Somebody posted a similar question and posted benchmark examples that were done on android 4.2.

I played Asphalt 8 on my S4 GT-I9505. Seemed to run pretty smooth. And that was when underclocked to 1.2 GHz.

Samsung cheated on the GT-I9500 version. Benchmark apps used all cores instead of just 4. An app can;'t overclock without root permissions.

I went from 4.4.4 to 5.1. It seems that in 5.1 I don't get the notifications in the top bar when the screen is locked. I can turn on the notification that sits in the middle of the lockscreen but is there any way to get it to show the notification icon in the top bar (where it now says T-Mobile) when the screen is locked?

I am rooted running 5.1 stock.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tidusuk123:
Hi everyone. I was browsing autotrader.co.UK and noticed that the whites on the S6 aren't as pure as they are on the iPhone 6. I've read up about this and accepted that this is typical from Amoled displays but as I was observing I also noticed that (despite the S6 having a much higher resolution screen) the images on the webpage were not as high quality when comparing to the IP6 - they seem to be low resolution thumbnails. I tried Google Chrome and it didn't make a difference. Is this just a browser related issue? Any idea as to why this could be?

I've attached a couple of screen shots that will explain what I'm referring to (focus on the images of the cars).
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tidusuk123:
Another example attached. This time I've post a side by side comparison with a HTC One M9. I thought it could be an android issue but clearly this is an S6 issue.

If you check the compared images on a desktop you'll notice a big difference in quality between the two images. For some reason the issue isn't as visible when viewing the images on this forum using my phone but there is definitely a noticeable difference when the S6 and iPhone 6/M9 are next to each other.

I'm surprised no one has anything to say.

So I've gone back to my iPhone 6 because of the above issue - it could be a serious one that at the moment doesn't appear to be a big deal to anyone - unless you know a solution that to the issue that you haven't shared?

I thought I'd leave the last message as hopefully someone will pick up on it and perhaps find a solution or at least raise it to Samsung's attention.

Enjoy your new phones all :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japultra:
That's very strange. Is it possible there is some sort of server side compression happening?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcreego:
Have both. What you say is true.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DinarQ8:
did you try chrome ?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Comando156:
Yes i want to know if you tried chrome as well... i do see what your talking about. But i always use chrome and do not get compression like that... but to me it sounds like you just don't like to try anything else and might be a apple fan boy? Enjoy your Apple locked expierence. You can. ... change your wall paper and that's it. Lol.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tidusuk123:
Honestly I tried almost every well known browser. That was my initial hunch as well. I tried Chrome, the Samsung default one, Firefox, Dolphin HD, Cheeter, and some others then gave up.

Definitely not a browser issue.

By the way I'd recommend downloading the attachments and viewing them properly as the previews don't show the issue.

Has to be some sort of compression issue - are Samsung doing this to improve the speed of their web browsing performance? Possibly.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daewond3r:
Are you seeing this across the board on all websites or just Auto Trader? I'm a front-end developer and I know not all sites treat responsive design the same. It's possible that higher res (retina-ready) images are loading on iPhone and Android is left with the regular images.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tidusuk123:
I noticed this on all the websites I go on to - I thought it could be an android issue as well so I checked with the HTC M9 and the problem did not exist.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japultra:
Do you have another quad hd phone you can compare to the htc? I wonder if it might be resolution related.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tidusuk123:
Bingo! Just tried it with an LG G3 and the same issues exist! Could be a scaling issue? I'd urge you guys to check it with a side by side comparison if you ever get the opportunity...
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japultra:
Well, now you know that nothing is "wrong" with your phone :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tidusuk123:
Wrong with phones that have a QHD screen including all Samsung Galaxy S6s.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Padel:
Got the same issue...

This issue started appearing for me just yesterday! So frustrating!! I got the phone on launch day (April 10th) and it has been fine until now. For me the low res issue affects Chrome, Instagram, Snapchat, and some of my other apps. Also some HD photos that I had downloaded sometime last month or so (when this issue was non-existent) are now a bit low res and it is really annoying.... :(However the stock browser app and Dolphin browser are fine... Idk what's going on. Were you able to find some sort of a solution?? Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japultra:
It's not an actual "issue". The image looks low res because it has to be stretched more to fit on the QHD screen on than on a FHD screen and your eyes are picking up the extra "stretching", which makes the image looks worse. Your problem though sounds different.

HD pictures shouldn't be looking low res. Can you describe your issues in more detail? How sure are you that there was no stretching before? Did you change any settings? What apps does it look stretched in and under what conditions?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Padel:
Okay yeah that makes sense. So I was looking at an HD picture on Instagram that I have seen plenty of times but when I looked at that same pic a few days ago some parts did not look as sharp as before. Now for me I always pay attention to detail when it comes to a photo so I know that there's something wrong if it doesn't look the same. So I then noticed this issue again when I was reading an article online and noticed that the pic just was not HD. Here is the pic in question when I viewed it on Chrome: http://i.imgur.com/wCfpXYz.jpg

Here is the same pic on the stock browser: http://i.imgur.com/GW1toTq.jpg

Now if you specifically pay attention to Aaron's face you can see that the one on Chrome is less sharp when compared to the stock. So I assumed that the problem was with my Chrome browser for some reason. Then I tested another website for a pic and this is how it looked like on the stock AND Chrome: http://i.imgur.com/p61eKxA.jpg here it is again but on Dolphin browser this time: http://i.imgur.com/uyB4X02.jpg If you focus on the word Billboard it looks a lot less sharp on Chrome and the stock browser. So I know that the problem is not specific to Chrome. Also on Friday of last week, I watched the 360 degrees experience Avengers video on my YouTube app and it was really sharp, crystal clear HD and now when I watch it, it looks like this: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_1yTF9ELpYgdjUteV9lWTgxTTA/view?usp=sharing The settings on my YouTube app is 1080p so idk why it should all of a sudden be looking like that... When I shot a video on snapchat it looked pretty clear until I watched it back and the screen was a bit fuzzy... the pixelation seemed off. It doesn't matter if I'm viewing any of the above apps in low light or bright light, they still seem low res.

Finally, I don't think I changed any settings either!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Japultra:
This is strange. I really don't know why Chrome/Stock Browser would do this while Dolphin shows it as more clear. Unfortunately, I'm out of ideas with this one. Hopefully someone else might have a clue as to what's going on.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lyinelriche:
I see a lot of threads on this issue. I'm hoping since most of them are dated around 2012, maybe there is a fix for this recently.

I have ElectronTeam's dn4v2 rom on my t889. There are a few issues I'm having in the past couple weeks (since flashing) but the latest is a problem with texting.

It starts with the fact that I'm not receiving group messages in Samsung's SMS app. So, I don't really like Hangouts as an SMS/MMS app, but one good thing about it is that it receives group messages and displays them as such. However, when I try to send a message to a new contact/start a new thread, it gives me the option to send from my Google voice # or Carrier Number "Unknown". I'm assuming that means the recipient will not know the text is from me?

In one of the threads, I read that if my phone number is correctly listed in "About Device", I would be able to send and receive Group messages in Samsung's SMS app( a feature introduced after JB)

In About Device>MY Phone Number> Unknown.

In my contacts, the first contact listed is ME, and my phone number is correct.

I've gone into Contacts>Settings>Contacts>Contacts to display> Sim card and my number is there.

I put the sim card in my old phone running Cyanaogen, and went into call settings etc., and the phone # is listed.

So I believe that my sim card has my number. But for some reason it's not getting recognized. Perhaps this is a rom issue?

Hey everyone!

So I have this very unusual problem on my nexus 5. First of all the device turned off on its own, battery at that time was about 14% and battery saver mode was on. After trying infinite number of times to turn on the phone, it just didn't turn on.

Hi guys

Sorry for my first post being a help post !

I am a long time iPhone user and i just change to android and my first android phone is Samsung Galaxy Mega 2 (SM-G7508Q)

I bought this phone from china therefore it does not have google play store nor any google service !!!

I don't live in china so i rooted the device to install google service and play store and it works (mostly) but sometime i receive a message says google service has stopped and that really annoys after time !!

So i decided to install hong kong rom which allows google service automaticaly !!

I have downloaded 3 different firmware BUT !!!

when I try to flash them using odin I always receive the same error message !!!

volume size is too big odin invalid ext4 image !!!

I figured that the firmware size is really too big all of them are around 1,8 GB so downloaded a smaller size firmware which was 1,5 GB and the installation was successful (that firmware was also chinese one so no google service )

I really need to install one of the hong kong firmware but they are all big sizes !!

Is there anyone have any idea to how to solve that issue ??

[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcboykin:
Hey guys,

Had this mobile data not working problem after updating to lollipop.

I swept through some forums and realised most people were experiencing the same .

Well, here's a fix. (worked for mmine) [Don't forget the thanks Button]

First copy your important stuff from your memory to a pc oh don't forget to sync your contacts too. Good.

First we enter recovery mode:

How to Enter Recovery Mode on your

Motorola Moto G:

Start by turning off the handset by pressing the Power button

and then selecting ‘power off';

§ After a few seconds, you have to press the Volume up and

Volume down buttons along with the Power button

simultaneously until the Moto G boot menu is displayed on your

device;

§ Scroll down by using the Volume Down button until you reach

‘recovery’ and the press the Volume Up button for selecting the

option;

§ Wait for the Android logo to appear on your Moto G;

Press Volume Up and Volume Down buttons together and then

do the same for the Power button;

§ The recovery mode menu should appear instantly;

The process of entering the Recovery Mode on your Motorola

Moto G is over.

STEP 2

Now scroll with the Volume key down to "wipe cache" press the power button to initiate it

When formatting is complete scroll up to "factory wipe wipe". This will reset the phone to factory state.

Reboot when that's done. Cheers

NB: THE BOOT WILL TAKE LONG THAN IT NORMALLY DOES. Be patient
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bouleversement:
Anyone know of any way to permanently change the orientation of the style clock? I know it rotates when screen orientation is activated, but I never have screen orientation on except in exceptional circumstances. I want the clock to have a permanent horizontal orientation. I think it looks much cleaner than the apparently standard, awkward vertical orientation.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jooniloh:
I personally haven't tried this, so I have no idea if it'll work, but you could try locking the orientation of com.samsung.android.app.cocktailbarservice using Xposed + App Settings. Tell me how it works out

---------- Post added at 10:07 ---------- Previous post was at 10:03 ----------

Oh, and you may wanna backup before trying that in case anything goes wrong. App Settings + System Apps either works or ends in a wreck. Sometimes you can just undo what you did in App Settings, but other times I've had it go crazy with a million error messages, etc. Nandroids are your friend.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bouleversement:
Hmmmm... Isn't CBS what is responsible for the whole edge (not just the style clock)? If so, I would think changing its orientation would change the edge itself, which I don't want to do. I just want the style clock's orientation changed. Why Sammy decided to default it vertically is beyond me, especially since they don't allow you to customize it more, including color schemes and orientation.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jooniloh:
Do you mean you're worried that the Edge would be rotated out of its bounds? The edge is locked to that part of the screen anyways. when you rotate your phone, the edge does rotate, but stays locked to the side. So I feel there's a good chance that wouldn't happen. Unless that's not what you mean. What clock are you talking about? I don't recall there being a vertical clock other than 3rd party panels.
