[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skyclaw:
I have issues with my home button as well, it's "loose" and rattling. It has always been a bit loose but the last few months it has gotten worse and worse, it started to require more and more pressure to register the press (way beyond the pressure needed for it to *click*). As of now it does not even work at all, no matter how hard I try pressing it.

I've tried the assistant menu that's mentioned here in the thread but I just find the menu annoying. Instead I have learned to live with it for the time being, I just multitask to instagram or facebook and then spam the back button until I'm back at home.

100% hardware issue.

Apparently it's possible to replace the home button, and there are replacement home button to buy from ebay, but the replacement procedure is ridiculuos. The home button is basically the last thing you will demount from the phone when disassembling it.

I found a temporary fix by dabbing the home button with Isopropyl

, this made it like new again. But two days later it's back to as it was before, or maybe even worse.

Annoying as hell, especially since this is a result of poor quality control from Samsung.

Update: Found a nice little app on play store called "button remapper" which lets me rebind the default system buttons without requiring root, i have rebinded the "recent apps" button to act as a home button instead, and a long press opens the regular "recent apps". Seems to be an alright workaround.

Just go to samsung shop,let them see,if no exchange or replace or fix, take their demo phones like s8 (2017) throw on to the floor and then take any phone u want, leave the s6 phone alone (make sure it is factory reseted).Ran away and shout #ALLAHUAKBAR!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] brazblue:
looking around i can not find anywhere that exactly states what versions of android and on what devices towelroot supports. My question specifically being for the S5 SM-G900A att phone. I am right now on lollipop and i realise i have to downgrade, but I only want to downgrade as little as possible to get towelroot to work. (the end goal being root access of course)

On another note I have two other questions i will ask here so as to not clutter the forum.

1. is there anyway to downgrade my android version without wiping all my data?

if not, any advice on backing up all my data before it gets wiped? mainly my photos, apps, and appdata.

2. I see the only custom recovery i can use is safestrap, i have read is some places that it can not backup your user data (videos, photos, etc.) and nowhere mention it does. question being if this is true and if so how can i back up all my data? i really like the idea of just doing weekly rom backups and being able to restore all my apps and all my data with very little lost (less then a week is good enough for me).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nutt_case:
If you took the OTA update to 5.0 their is currently no way to safely downgrade and root.

Towel root only worked on 4.4.2 kernel.

Safestrap no longer works in 5.0 either.

Just have to hang tight till someone figures out root for stock 5.0.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] brazblue:
Thank you for the help, i did not realize it was for 4.4.2 only. (why no list of working versions) as well you say no safe way to downgrade.....are there options or is it impossible? I just got the phone recently and I wasn't the one to update it, I got it second hand and well i can't control what has happened to it before me. sadly it was updated to 5.0

I may attempt a unsafe downgrade if possible, it really depends on what risk levels and if it's risk of doing something wrong and bricking or if there is a risk out of your hands and it may or may not work. else i will just wait and not update my phone in the time being.

The above post is the unbrick/downgrade thread for the g900a.

You'll notice it says not to attempt if you've taken the OC4 ota...I'd read through their first. At this point it looks pretty risky.

Good luck either way you go!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] virtualflyer:
Hello,

I see that Sunshine requires temp root in order to be able to s-off on lollipop. Do we have it without htcdev?

I'd rather not use htcdev because I'm afraid HTC may be keeping unlocked phone serials stored so that they'll be able to refuse warranty service even if the phone has been brought back to stock.

Thank you very much
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robocuff:
Sunshine comes with the necessary files for temp root. You don't need anything other than Sunshine itself. Download it, run it and it will tell you if it can work or not. That's really all there is to it.

I've got a factory kernel downloaded for a Nexus 10 mantaray, Android 5.1 lmy47d, but I've been unable to track down where to submit it, or how to go about rooting it myself. I hope this is the appropriate place to ask such a question.

not really sure what's the question here but cd-autoroot does not flash a custom kernel, it uses the stock/factory kernel, afaik.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DevonSloan:
I just wanted to post a heads-up about the "PRO" camera settings. I am a fulltime pro photographer and was happy to see more manual control integration in the camera. As I was taking photos for another thread, I decided to use the S6 to see how well the camera does. The camera is GREAT! But, I am very disappointed in the manual White Balance.

The light used for the shot is a pro studio LED fixture at an exact 5600K "daylight" color rendition. (My Canon DSLRs shoot these lights at exactly 5600K for perfect whites.) The S6 did a very good job on auto - it was just slightly warm, maybe about 5800K. The photo taken in the "PRO" setting with the WB set to "daylight", though, was WAY off. Extremely magenta. Not good. I'll play with it more in different circumstances when I have the time - I'm hoping it was a one time error. (I don't have the time to do further testing today.)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] hayabusa1300cc:
Glad to see a fellow photographer in here. Naturally I'm excited with the performance of the camera. I haven't had the time yet to put it through its paces in pro mode yet.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] DevonSloan:
I've been shooting strobes only (and natural light) for 15 years, but just added a full LED panel studio setup for constant lighting, and was hoping I'd be able to play around with the S6 on some studio shoots. I'm sure I'll still be able to, just not using PRO. I'm sure I'll figure out a way that works, I'm just disappointed because I was excited about the "PRO" mode.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] tu3218:
Have someone offering to trade me their brand new 64gb Turbo for my Note 4. Really tired of TW and would like to go back to stock android. However, I know I'd be downgrading in the screen and camera quality department. Both phones are great but just wondering if anyone here has made this move and what they think?
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] adrynalyne:
I've had both. Turbo is much faster, but the software experience is probably not enough to not warrant the move from the Note 4. Also, its still Kitkat.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] tu3218:
Thanks for the input. Yeah I played with friends Turbo and no doubt it's quicker. But yeah, I think I'll hang onto my Note 4 for now.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ankurcshah:
I am from the Note 4, but TBH its kinda meh as long as you love stock android don't take the plunge.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] nrage23:
I have and use both. The Note 4 for Verizon as of a couple weeks ago has Lollipop. I got the Turbo a week before I got the Note 4. I hardly ever use the Turbo. The Droid Turbo has better battery life and feels very good in the hand. The Note 4 is much more useful day to day. The camera and the screen on the Note 4 are significantly better. Touchwiz on Lollipop is much better than on KitKat. I think the Turbo will see large benefits from Lollipop. I pop my sim in the Turbo and a few hours later I go right back to the Note 4. Also I feel no lag on either phone. The Turbo should feel much faster due to it being close to stock Android but Lollipop on the Note 4 is very smooth.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joselv456:
So as title says any luck with rooting the lollipop update yet? I updated without thinking and now I am stuck without root :(
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Marv916:
from my understanding, you can still root with the Chainfire, battery pull method as long as you do the OTA or stock Loly update first.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jooniloh:
Root and Lollipop are working fine on many devices. Also your question is pretty much meaningless without a model number. Each carrier's phone is different.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joselv456:
Yeah sorry I figured since I posted in this forum it was self explanatory don't mean to sound rude but yeah sprint note edge haven't had any luck rooting after lollipop update did official update as well thanks
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jooniloh:
This is the general Note Edge Q&A. Issues for every carrier go here. Sprint should root fine with CF-Auto-Root and TWRP, just as in KitKat.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] afh3:
Curious to know if anyone with a Verizon S6/S6 Edge can confirm that they see the "On-body Detection" feature in the Smart Lock settings.

Just before relinquishing my Verizon S5 to get the S6 Edge, I received Android 5.0 and the update to Google Play Services that implemented that capability. However, it does not appear on my S6 Edge.

Did the usual dance in the hope that it would appear.

Factory data reset. Nope.

Uninstall Google Play Services updates and let it reinstall. Nope.

Seems a bit odd that it wouldn't be in 5.0.2, but there is no sign of it on my two S6 Edge phones.

Trusted Devices? Check.

Trusted Places? Check.

On-Body detection? Not so much.

Anyone?

I havent seen it anywhere on the phone. You can download ACdisplay from the market and it does this to a point.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jimbobtexas:
I never had this issue with any of my previous phones. Namely, my location is displayed on my various apps (like 1 Weather) as the source of my WiFi network. I work in Irving, TX but our network hub is in Frisco, TX, and that's what displays for my location. I turn off WiFi, and it locates me correctly. The same thing happened when I was at Texas Motor Speedway a little over a week ago. I got on their WiFi network, and it showed my location as Martinsville, NC.

Is this normal? I've honestly never seen this before.

EDIT: I'm not making this up: just picked up my phone, and it showed my location as Pecos, TX, then switched to Irving, TX. I think my phone is possessed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jimbobtexas:
This is still a thing. Yesterday, my phone thought it was somewhere in California. Today, it's switching between Las Vegas and Paradise, NV. Every once in a while, it remembers I'm in Irving, TX. Am I seriously the only person with this problem?

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axstcz:
So here is the deal. I was running CM 12 with TWRP on my Nexus 5 for the past few weeks. After the 12.1 OTAs rolled out, with their issues in Google Play Services compatibility, I decided to go back to stock. For that I used the Nexus Root Toolkit option flash stock/ unroot. The process finished said that the bootloader needed to be unlocked, silly me for forgetting that step. I unlocked the bootloader, again using the Nexus Root Toolkit and the stock recovery. After it finished erasing data, it started this weird bootloop where it goes to the google logo, with the unlocked bootloader symbol, then immediately goes to the TWRP splashscreen, where it will stay for approximately 20 seconds before the screen goes black and the splashcreen comes back again.

I've tried shutting it off and on again, even tried accesing it via ADB, all with no luck. Any suggestions?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldubs:
Toolkit f'd you up pretty bad. Why would you need to unlock your bootloader if you were already rooted and running a custom rom?

Try downloading the factory images and flashing them..
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wakamatsu:
Go ask the toolkit dev. All you can tell us is which button you pushed. Without knowing what script was run and what it did, we can't tell you what happened.

And I second the above; why would the bootloader need to be unlocked when you already successfully flashed? Because the toolkit told you that you needed to?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drago10029:
You should put it in fastboot mode and flash a stock android image. will wipe your device but your sanity and phone will be back to normal. if you need help finding fastboot commands and such let me know.

[XDA Assist] tomisalunatic:
Alright so I have a 2013 Moto G, and basically in the past while on KitKat I've rooted my phone, given it custom recovery (TWRP), and messed around with the ROM (changed it to CM, PA and a few others and back). Now I've come to update to Lollipop and of course I need stock recovery to update my phone via OTA, and when it first prompted me to update, I had TWRP and I didn't really think, I just updated, this sent my phone into a bootloop, rebooting straight into TWRP every time I turned my phone on. Luckily I had a backup and I just restored to that and that fixed it. Recently I've been trying to fix the correct stock recovery for my phone so I can update, and I found some MotoTool AIO thing, and that changed my recovery back to KitKat stock (or so it says), now when I go into recovery it LOOKS like stock, can do everything you could normally do with stock recovery, but when I came to update it, about a quarter of the way though the update process, it errors and reboots my phone. Luckily this time my phone recognizes it has errored and just cancels the update instead of sending me into a boorloop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Tom.
