[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryland Johnson:
Hi, For those who have waited and received a defective device my heart goes out to you. Its hell when this happens especially to a techno junkie:p I have been there (Think Asus transformer Prime, or maybe its better we don't :rolleyes: )

Wanted to write a thread to sort of balance things out a little here. I noticed one post where the poster was questioning if he was going to buy this mobile due to the negative postings here. :p

I have been a severe critic of Samsung from day one. Over the years I have purchased possibly two dozen Samsung mobiles for my family and self, the last one for me was the Note 3. I got so tired of plastic being made to look like alloy or leather it reached a point where Samsung surpassed being tacky and into the realms of bizarre. Now this is fine for a base line day to day mobile selling at 25.00€ BUT for mobiles costing near 700.00€ I voted with my cash and jumped ship to Sony with the Xperia Z selection and I may rapidly add they are absolutely wonderful mobile phones made from quality materials that justify the price.

Early this year I bought..........shhhhh.........an iPhone 6 and that is simply a stunning mobile too.

When the Galaxy S 6 edge was announced I simply had to have one and see if by any miracle Samsung had at LONG LAST started to manufacture a mobile worthy of the price and title flag ship model.

Of course opinions are very personal and need to be understood, tolerated and respected. For me, I am delighted with my new Edge even though I have arranged an appointment with a psychiatrist next week to have a full check up seeing as I have just willingly spent 1100€ on a mobile phone, covers and screen saver :silly: :eek:

So far I can but thank Samsung for making a complete 180 change in direction by designing a mobile that is not only technically stunning but built to such a high standard using quality alloys and glass. Regardless of what the future brings for Samsung this S6 is what the S3 should have been. Better late than never though. To think of the flack I have taken on this very site in criticising Samsung for producing fair ground quality mobiles retailing at RR prices. We now have a new era with the S6.

Take a look at the device objectively it really is incredible.............I cant believe its a Sammy :fingers-crossed:

I hope we all manage to enjoy the device.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Maouen:
I have an SGH-I747m that I believe is on Bell that I bought used from Ebay. I was assured it was working but when I got it it wouldn't turn on. When I plug it in with the battery in a red light will flash for a second and when I pull the battery with the phone plugged in the red light will be steady even after I replace the battery but go out when I hold the power button. Also, if I pull and replace the battery with the phone unplugged the camera light will flash. Other than that it does nothing. I've tried various debrick images in hopes of getting my phone to download mode both using a 16 and 32 GB class 10 card but it does nothing. I'm not believing that the image is copying right from what I've seen from other people's debrick cards. I've used both dd on linux and win32disk imager on Windows 7. Also a note that when I plug the phone to the computer nothing shows up in device manager. Though that could be that this phone has never been used on my computer so no drivers installed for it.

Using sudo parted /dev/sdd print in Lubuntu 15.04 this is what my debrick SD looks like using a 32GB card.

Hi guys,

I'm on 4.4.2 (ND3),

I want to upgrade it to Lollipop,

I had downloaded the OTA file for Lollipop,

I tried to install it and it failed (reboot, still at kitkat)

Then I saw that you need to upgrade to 4.4.4 (OA1?) before you can upgrade to Lollipop.

I downloaded the OA1 file but it's only for NG3 -> OA1,

Does anyone have the OTA file for ND3 -> NG3?

I'm using my phone abroad and I don't have OTA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] slamsteel:
NVM,

Downgraded to NCE,

Then upgraded to NG3

Then ugpraded to OA1

Then to Lollipop.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dtwrain:
Device: S6 Edge Gold International Version (Bought in Hong Kong) [64GB]

Model number: SM-G9250

Android version: 5.0.2

Build number: LRX22G.G9250ZTU1AOD5

Stock (not rooted)

1. Bought the phone 9 days ago

2. Everything working just fine until a few hours ago.

3. All of a sudden, my touches started to not register on the first try.

4. It would take anywhere between 1 (if i'm lucky) to 7 tries before my touch is recognized. (average 3-4 tries)

5. I turned on "Show touches" and "Show pointer location" under the Developer options and it confirms point 4 above

6. I did a hard reboot (Power, Volume UP, and Home), cleared cache and reset to factory settings and this did not fix the problem.

7. I searched through forums and could not find anything.

8. I'm thinking this should probably be a faulty hardware issue
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nairod77:
Yes, I sent it back for repair for the same reason. I already post this issue.

First it was working perfectly fine, but in a few hours of usage, the touch screen started to be less and less responsive, sometime i had to press 2 or 3 time to get it work. And after a few hours, the touch screen start to stop working for few minutes and then been again responsive for a few minutes. At the end of the day, no more response. I try to clear cache and reset to factory settings and this did not fix the problem....

- Power of your phone

- Put your phone in fastboot mode [power] + [volume donw] and connect it to the pc and

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TiberiumFusion:
Hey everyone, I've a quick question I bet some hardware people here could answer.

So my friend's Samsung Galaxy S4's screen is totally shattered and broken. We don't know if the phone boots or not, but we want to recover anything possible from the internal storage (cause store service is useless as always). Is it possible to physically dismantle the phone to gain access to the internal storage? (if it's something like SD memory) And if so could I read it from with Ubuntu? (dunno what file system Android is, maybe EXT4, but Ubuntu can read nearly anything)

Or would we need to somehow interface with it should it still be bootable? If so, without the screen, there'd be no way to get past the lock screen so would I need to go into the bootloader and use adb to extract the files? I've done stuff sort of like this with my HTC phones, but I'm a total noob when it comes to Samsung devices and I have no idea how to even boot to the bootloader on them.

Note: the phone in question is a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 - LOCKED AND NOT ROOTED. I feel like this is going to be a deal-breaker but maybe someone out there has a solution.

Thanks for any help you can provide!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Triscuit:
Can a PC still detect it? If so you might be able to use ADB to pull the files onto your computer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TiberiumFusion:
We're not sure as we personally haven't tested that yet. The phone was at Verizon, and the tech support there was "recovering" the files from it (actually just grabbing what had been backed up to the Verizon cloud storage thing), though I doubt they'd try that. If it does respond to a PC connection, how would I transfer files off it with adb? I've only used that for fastboot and don't know what else it can do.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bukithd:
So recently, mostly on swipe enabled keyboards, I have been seeing a ghost swipe register when typing. This happens on all keyboards I've used so it is not a keyboard issue. I saw someone on reddit recently with the same issue and was wondering if it had been reported prior for this phone. I'm coming from a nightmare experience from the OPO's touchscreen so I'm here looking for advice.

I started to notice it about a week ago when texting. At certain occasions, it could act as though i was dragging my fingertips instead of individual taps. Now I have tried this with and without a screen protector and gotten the same issue. I have also only been using 5.1 since I got this phone, so I cannot say that it is an issue with the software since I have nothing to compare it to. I device is unlocked but not rooted and is running the D revision of 5.1.

Anyone seen this corrected, or should I just go ahead and RMA. My phone was built on 3/7/2015 so it is still very new.

EDIT: RMA'd.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] jmc302005:
The most surefire way to get your unlock code is to finish paying for your phone. At least if you are in the US. It is the law. They have to give you the unlock code if you OWN the phone. If you are currently financing it then you have to try this way. But I warn you Triple warn even WARNING WARNING WARNING no mater what anyone says. unlocking your phone by these means will get you what you want but you will have boot problems later. Your EFS gets totally screwed from doing the remote unlock. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Yup, you guys read it right. I'm honestly about to move on from the Galaxy Note 4 for Verizon. I honestly wish someone would've mentioned a locked bootloader to me before I bought it.. But anyways, are we close to achieving root yet? The Note 5 is around the corner and we're simply wondering if root is even possible. Thanks for answers.

If you didn't know that a VERIZON phone would have a locked bootloader then that's nobody else problem.

The note 5 will be the exact same situation as the note 4 and Galaxy s6, locked up tight.

I believe that we will get root. When? Who knows. But I also believe that the galaxy s6 will use the same method. So of one gets it first, the other will either be very close behind or the same time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] alexjustdoit:
Hello all,

About a year ago I flashed v28 (4.4.2) of Omega ROM. I don't believe I flashed an sgh-m919 specific version, though I don't quite remember, and through a few searches I couldn't find the same older thread for the ROM. I also don't remember if I flashed anything else, bootloader, modem, kernel etc. I feel like I might have flashed a modem at the time. Possibly a kernel but I don't think I changed anything about my kernel.

My phone is getting slow and unstable and I'd like to update to v41 (latest, 5.0.1) of Omega ROM. The thread is over in the international i9505 development forum. I barely remember how any of this works anymore beyond simply putting the ROM on my sdcard, wiping everything, and flashing through recovery, and so the mention needing to flash XXUHOB8 bootloader and modem in the Omega ROM installation post made me question whether I could simply wipe and update, since the bootloader and modem are for international i9505 and I have the t-mobile phone.

Also, Im going to flash the latest version of TWRP. Initially I would think I would flash jfltetmo, as per the tmobile s4 TWRP on the TWRP website. But if I'm using an i9505 rom, do I need to flash the international version of TWRP (jfltexx)?

Basically, my question is, should I expect any problems if I just flash the i9505 bootloader and modem to my sgh-m919 and then flash the new Omega ROM? Do I need to do something with the bootloader and modem specific to the sgh-m919?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
You don't need anything i9505. Just update to 4.4.4 NK2 firmware with odin and flash the latest twrp, followed by the rom
