I'm sure sunshine will come out with an S-Off method pretty soon. Also, Samsung devices are some of the hardest devices to any sort of modding. The new GS6 for example has a proprietary processor which means roms like Cyanogenmod won't be supported. Not to mention it's a pain to unlock the bootloader on a Samsung device...
[General Questions and Answers] Samofr:
I dont know if i'm posting in the right place, but one simple question: In backup and reset setting, they say "

backup application data, wifi passwords, and other settings to google servers

". Is there an app that can manage my backups? Because i only want to backup and restore wifi passwords without applications data. Is this possible ? Thank you.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidSon:
I've got a Note 4 which was originally locked to Rogers and is working fine on Wind after unlocking it. My guess is that, it will also work on Mobilicity as well. But you should ask the unlock code seller just to make sure.

Yes it works. But have manually choose the network. I get the unlock code from http://phoneunlockingshop.ca and get it unlocked after the use mobilicity by manually choose the network under network settings:laugh:
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc984:
Dear Xiaomi Mi3 users,

I'm sorry if this question has been asked before.

Basically my touch screen is totally cracked and unresponsive. I need to replace my screen. I ordered a screen and repair kit from China, and it has arrived. However the instructions say that I should switch off my phone before attempting to replace the screen. The problem is, the screened is cracked and I can't press any buttons. Holding the power button for a long time simply reboots my phone, it doesn't shut it down.

What should I do???

Thanks!!

[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZenR2:
1) when your phone reboots at that time press the volume up button , the phone will enter into recovery mode and from there you can turn of your phone without even touching your screen

2) you can plug in a PC Mouse t your phone sing a OTG cable and can access all the functions without touching the screen

After restarting, when you see the MI LOGO, hold power & volume down button, it will execute the fastboot and just wait for a second your phone will automatically shuts off.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starf1:
Is it not "Volume Up" and "Power Button"? iso just "Volume Up" button.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewlorien:
I just had to do this too.

Hold power button for ten seconds to reboot.

Immediately switch to power + volume up to get to fastboot

But the fastboot screen does not automatically shut down. And holding down the power button for ten seconds reboots again. And because of my broken screen, i can't see the fastboot menu.

In the end I plugged it into a computer, installed adb, and did adb shell and adb reboot -p (-p for poweroff)

Now, back to replacing my screen, being very careful not to press the power button this time.
[Mi 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doril2:
Hi,

Today I had the same problem. Xiaomi Redmi 4x with broken screnn and I could not shut it down to replace its display. After a few tries I found the solution.

Just press Power button and Volume Down and DON'T RELEASE THEM UNTIL THE SMARTPHONE IS COMPLETLEY SHUTDOWN. After about 8 seconds the smartphone will reset . Don't release the Power and Volume Down buttons , wait and the smartphone will boot again in another mode. Continue to keep both buttons pressed and after about 10-15 seconds it will really shutdown.

Good luck!

I have my G900a and I had to reset it, and whenever I downgrade the kernel to use towelroot my phone wont boot, it freezes at the Samsung logo and then goes black, I was wondering if anyone can give me a rooted stock rom (Doesn't matter what version) download so I can flash it on my phone using odin.

If you can solve my problem with downgrading the kernel without it getting stuck let me know please.

I'm on 4.4.2 but I'm using oa1 kernel, its the only way I could get my phone to boot.

Thanks very much for the help.

If you have 0a1 kernel i believe that you can't downgrade to a different one. I might be wrong but i think i read it somewhere on here. Might try to search it.

My problem is :

Our home have weak GSM operator signal . in past I had some models like nokia 1100 and Iphone and etc. that if GSM signal lost , my phone tried search and connect to operator again !

but in P-715 , when network signal lost , phone don't try to find network signal again and on top lcd antenna signal , red sign indicate on antenna signal !

in this situation , I have to restart phone or enable airplane mode then disable this for searching network !

I reflash again my phone with android 4.4.2 and hard reset , but problem not solved :(

any idea ?
[LG Optimus L3 II, L5 II, L7 II, L9 II] Digdis:
You probably need to search a better device. I have a similar problem with my P714, and it gets worse every day - it began the way you describe, and after a while, restarting (or using apps that do it, which is basically the same) stopped helping. I'm about to get rid of this device as it doesn't supply the most basic functionality. BTW I replaced 3 ROMs since this problem began without luck.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] DrAlucard:
Afternoon Guys,

I've recently bought a Samsung Galaxy S6 to replace my old Nexus 5. The lollipop update for the Nexus 5 crippled my phone and I needed a new one. Now moving on...once I've gone through the setup and downloaded all my apps. I then began to add my email accounts. After I added my Microsoft Exchange email for my company, the device then encrypts itselfs and I reboot the phone. After that process is done all the apps I previously downloaded are now disable. But here's the kicker i cannot see the disable apps in the application manager under the Disabled Apps Tab. I can see the apps that i manually disabled. The reason why I can see them is that when i go back to re-download them from the app store they appear as disable there. THere is an enable button but whenever I push to enabled button the app will stay as disabled. The only way that I got around this was to uninstall the app and then install it again. Now I don't want to constantly re-enable all my apps again. So guys I wanted to know a few things:

1. Has anyone else ran into this issue ?

2. Is there an app manager within the play store that displays all apps. disable and enabled ? I've haven't found anything yet.

3. This same issue happens when I go into ultra power saving mode.

P.S.

My phone is not rooted and I am familiar with the process. But I would rather leave my phone as is. Your feedback is much appreciated !

You have to be more specific as to what advice and help you're looking for. Also keep in mind that some of the people here are not able to post links till they have 10 posts on their account.

First come up with a concept for your app. Then go on google or youtube and see if there's any sample projects/tutorials that are close to your concept.

I'm not able to post any links to resources so hopefully someone that can will chime in.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Cyberguycpt:
Well I recently left Samsung for the iPhone 6 Plus but I'm tempted to get the Galaxy S6. I just have a few questions on if some of the things I left for have been fixed. One thing which isn't really a Samsung thing but an android thing is the YouTube app only playing in 720p. I never understood buying a phone with a quad hd screen with nothing to really experience it fully, I would even settle for 1080p viewing, I used to have the Note 4. Also does the netflix app play in quad hd or 1080p. Also how is the battery life, I currently can get through a full day? I'm really looking at the S6 because I made the mistake of buying the 16 gb IPhone 6 plus and I'm constantly having to delete stuff but instead of just buying a iPhone with more memory I rather give Android one more shot. So please guys help me out.

PLEASE SHARE!

I am very disappointed!

Samsung Galaxy S6 edge, WASTE OF MONEY!

double down....

I was trying to choose between iphone 6 and the new S6 edge, since S6 edge model is one of a kind and got new design.. I decided to buy the Samsung.

After 2 days, my phone become like this. I only place it in my coat pocket so it will be safe. Rather than to place it in my jeans pocket. In my shock, I saw my back camera glass was cracked. I didn't bumped to anything neither drop it. Unexpectedly, it was DAMAGED! I bought a phone that has a Lousy, low quality material which I paid for $1,168 sgd! I am very very UPSET!

When I went to the Samsung store to report it they told me they cant replace it with the new one. The only choice is to go at the Samsung service Center and repair.

To make the long story short, the manager and all staff can't give me clear answer why does it happen.* And cant guarantee me that it wont happen the same thing once I agree for the repair. Btw, One scenario that really makes me show the evil side of me is that they asked me to pay for another $200 for the repair! What the hell are they talking about! I only used it for 2 days and they are asking me to pay for the repair which i dont even know what happened!

*Guys I had been using Samsung for quite long and this is the first time I encounter it. It was very embarassing. And gives me so much trouble... just a word of advice THINK TWICE,THRICE, before getting one! Waste of money!!! See for yourself!

Has anyone got an idea?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
This is usually an issue on the computer's side (PC?). Try to re-install HTC drivers, try another USB port, or another cable. Also, if you have USB 3.0, this is known to cause issues with adb connectivity (apparently, you can disable this).

Also, you need to be booted into OS or in recovery for adb to work (does not work in bootloader) and you need to have USB debugging activated in Settings.

And when you say "firmware" I think you mean a nandroid backup, based on the instructions previously given to you? Be careful using the term "firmware" here, as most folks use that term to specifically mean the firmware.zip that contains hboot, radio etc. (but

not

ROM).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Don't you have a MicroSD ? Put the extracted nandroid on MicroSD at the right location clockworkmod\backups\ is easier than doing that ADB push.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulmcclafferty:
Okay finally got the nandroid backup installed. Then when i tried to install the OTA update it took me to CWM and failed. So i then relocked and tried again to update OTA and it took me to the bootloader with a ***Relocked*** and *** Security Warning*** any ideas ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
You need to re-install the stock recovery in order to OTA. Bootloader lock has nothing to do with it (will OTA with unlocked bootloader).
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulmcclafferty:
I have installed the Nandroid backup mentioned above to stock i believe. Is this the correct step or is this still not stock ? it was 1.54.61.5

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Stock ROM backup and stock recovery are two different things.

You need to fastboot flash recovery recovery.img to replace the CWM that you have now. Inside the backup zip, there is a recovery.img .. take this out and fastboot flash it.

You need to unlock bootloader to flash it.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paulmcclafferty:
when using the command "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" using the recovery.img from the unzipped nandroid folder the process runs and it says okay with no errors then when i try go into recovery the red triangle and exclamation mark appear again
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Hofs:
Yes that's stock recovery. Perform the ota now
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Because that is stock recovery. You don't need to get into recovery.

Just reboot, check OTA, download then select install.
