[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] sodaboy581:
Cross posting with the S6 forum, because the experience is usually the same across S6/Edge, but I have an interesting problem...

I successfully permanently unlocked my T-Mobile Galaxy S6 last month and then sold the phone through Swappa after factory resetting it.

The person who bought the phone attempted to put his AT&T SIM card in and got an "Invaild SIM" error.

When he launches the "Device Unlock" app, which has reappeared after a factory reset, and attempts to permanently unlock the device, it says "Unlock Failed" and "Unlock Approved: Device is permanently unlocked."

Makes no sense, right?

Called T-Mobile and a woman on the phone attempted to override, redo the unlock, etc. but it doesn't seem to help.

Anyone ever experience this? Maybe I should try again through Live Chat or the phone again and see if another tech can do a better job.

I had this on my girlfriend's S6 Edge. After unlock it using the unlock app and using it normally, the phone turned off with no battery. When turned on again it showed the "invalid SIM" message. Used he app again and it said "unlock successful". No problems since then!

tmobile Device unlock app

Hi

Need help unlocking Tmobile HTC Desire 626s using the DEVICE UNLOCK APP..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] KingP1n:
I made have gotten lucky but I order a new phone from amazon stating it was unlock, however phone was brand new unopened...when I received the phone my German sim wld not be read ...I've spent the last 2 days calling T-Mobile/Samsung and T-Mobile finally submitted an unlock request. I waited almost 10 hours.. Email said the only way to unlock was to use the unlock app. I read thru one of the forums here to contact T-Mobile tech support and I told him of my issue...they asked if I purchase the phone thru T-Mobile and of course I said yes. He said he would speak to his supervisor if could override the unlock and sure enough in a few minutes my phone was unlocked by using the unlock app....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] CrashTestDroid:
So after reading this whole thread and a week spent trying to get through to a non-clueless-idiot Tmobile rep to unlock my S6 Edge I gave up and paid $30 to unlockbase. I paid through PayPal just in case it turned out fake.

To my immense surprise 8 hours later it worked!

Can anybody tell me how they work this magic? secret agents inside T-Mobile? Or is the unlock server operated by Samsung?

So I got a tmobile s6 but they told me that my I'm either isn't a tmobile phone? It has all the tmobile pre-installed apps and even boots up with tmobile logo? How do I fix? I got a 3rd party to send me an unlock code but still device unlock app doesn't operate. Is there an alternative?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] elixsilex:
Terrible service!

I got my Samsung S8 through samsung.com. Tmobile app "device unlock", failed every time. Basically Tmobile is telling me that they are not recognizing the phone as theirs, and Samsung says they do not have the skills to do the unlock.

In the end, I am stuck with a device that fails to perform the way it is supposed to and no one is helping me solve the issue. Tmobile keeps asking me to get in touch with Samsung, and Samsung keeps asking me to get in touch with Tmobile. This has been going on since May 4. Today is May 15.

I have filed a complaint through the better business bureau vs. both Samsung and Tmobile.

Thoughts?

[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myblessayu:
I am running the dual sim version XT1068, CM12.1 nightly build.

I hate those carrier names or the 'No sim, no service' thing on the lockscreen!

(On 5.0.2 : I tried the well-known method: the "Hide Carrier Label" xposed module.

It hides the carriers names after activating it (& rebooting) for once, but after the screen is turned off or phone switched off, the carrier names get back in their places.

I checked Xposed, modules,app settings, but all appeared fine to me. But it never worked again. )

On 5.1.0 :

Since Xposed is not yet supported (pre-alpha, so bugs&bugs) is there a fix for this?
[G 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tel864:
Ok, I've never looked at a 1068 and don't run a CM rom, but a standard phone setting in "cellular network settings" allows you to show or not show the mobile network name. Or are you talking about more.

I just saw the lockscreen part. There are a bunch of excellent configurable lockscreen replacements on Play and several excellent ones that are completely free.

Better than any Smartphone I have ever used.

I have tested the S6 Edge with lossless FLAC music purchased from an online store (24 bit 96 khz). I played back using the Onkyo HF app over aptx to my Hi Fi. I am astonished at the quality of reproduction. You can also try ripping a CD in FLAC lossless format and the playback quality is great over wired or BT audiophile headphones.

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Geeks Empire:
Info

do u have any technical detail about S6E audio outputs? (speaker/s and headphone jack)

if i remember correctly it doesn't have stereo speaker! can u make video for comparison of S6E sound?

Thanks

:good:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] jah:
Please read the review I linked to above. The audio assessment is not about the speaker but the ability to reproduce audiophile level of quality for headphones and aptx devices.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] SomeGuyDude:
I'm a bit of an audiophile myself and the S6 really is amazing. Using the Shure se846 it sounds as good as through my Macbook Pro. No amp or external DAC necessary.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] leoaudio13:
I also use the S6 Edge with my custom in-ears ( not UE Personal Reference, but it was tuned to my ears by a friend - I'm FOH engineer and also work in studio as well ). It sound as good as iphone's output. Pretty much un-colored signal. I remember there are threads about S6 Edge somewhere in this forum about audio quality with lots of debations of S6 Edge audio. Totally not true. Listen to Natalie Cole - Yo Lo Amo (And I Love Him) [feat. Chris Botti] on the S6 Edge was as enjoyable as on iphone 6 ( i owned both iphone 6 and 6 plus + ipad Air ). My S6E was rooted, no ViperFX ( ViperFX is good, but it is way too colored and not real, at least to my ears) , played with PowerAmp, Flat setting with no Samsung crappy audio FXs as well.

S6 Edge Speakers are loud but they are crappy in comparison to iphone 6...but headphone output is pretty much on par
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] cpufrost:
Fellow engineer here, also UE10 pro custom user for 9 years before the Logitech acquisition. Anyhow, I'll have to check this out!

I'll definitely check out some of my personal reference recordings.

I've yet to take the phone to a live gig and see how it handles transients and kick drums at 120dB! SEC in the past has been major fail. Although the camera on the Note 4 handled Ace Frehley fairly decently, right on the edge of the stage, quite loud, over 123dB! The iPhone 6 had about the same amount of distortion at that gig, FWIW. Most ALCs on these devices hard clip well before that level. The S3 was really bad, could not handle FOH levels in most venues.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] leoaudio13:
Hmmm, the phone to a live gig to record u mean ? Pretty sure it wont stand. I mix variable genres of music. My in-ears were tuned to matched with the UE PErsonal Reference response but with less boost at 10k. I found those peaks of UE Capitol version are way too bright.

Anyway, S6 edge handles quite well even with a very loud commercial Rock track with loud RMS , eg: I'm A River - FooFighter. Its a very busy track with lots of things going on, even with string ensemble at the end but my IEM wasnt distorted, which is a good thing. I think the output on S6E was a bit low in compare to ip6 but loud enough for low impedance high sensitive headphone or IEM. My IEM impedance is around 50 Ohm but it seems to be fine with S6E. Quite transparent.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] cpufrost:
Yes, the camera one has with them is the best camera as the saying goes.

So with that in mind I like to test these devices under all sorts of conditions.

If a device can capture the crack of a stun gun's arc without distorting, I'd be impressed.

Then again, most equipment struggles with that, it's like trying to get a speaker to reproduce a square wave. :)

I'm definitely not into loud (as in compressed, no crest factor) recordings. Those will fry your ears, might as well stand next to a kiloton Frick chiller running at WOT. :)

For rock I'm more of a Robert Fripp guy. :cowboy:
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] kamson:
I am using customs Lime Ears Aether and s6 edge sounds really good but to be frank this is still thin compared to Ibasso DX90 [emoji9]
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] blanchardcohen93:
What surprised me the most with this device is how powerful the speaker is. Quality is there too ...

But when you listen to music with your headset it's very impressive. Sound is very clear and deep. It's so cool to have many toggles to improve quality. Samsung has already been the best I think regarding sound (not talking about speaker ... HTC boomsound remains above all).
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] leoaudio13:
Nice IEM man. Looks like Noble custom IEM to me :) i also use a pair of Westone UM Pro 50 + AKG K812 Pro. They also sound as they are supposed to be on S6E.

DX90 bass is a bit colored dont u think ? I love tight and uncolored low end. Kinda punchy.

S6E speakers ? Bleh!

---------- Post added at 02:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

Pretty sure S6e wont keep up with high SPL IMO. Lemme know your result. My previous ip6 wont keep up but with Sony Z3, sound was fantastic after recording full HD ( Z3 allows u to choose high or low mic recording volume ).

I have a Sony MH1C Headset and when it plug it says unsupported headphone....

its working on Sony Xperia Arc S..... Not working on Xperia Z1...(in lollipop they given the option to select headphone models:confused:)
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] lapuckire:
Cause it's MH1, not MH1C and has OMTP connector type, not the new CTIA. It's not end for your headphones but will have to buy OMTP to CTIA adapter (from Ebay, for example)

Taken from head-fi.org:

Variation and Confusion

Bear with me here in this section as it is quite important if you are interested in getting a MH1. Let’s begin by explaining two standards used in making the 3.5mm TRRS plug on headset – OMTP and CTIA (both are organizations for mobile standards). For OMTP, the TRRS plug is wired as [Left-Right-Mic-Ground] (from tip-to-sleeve); for CTIA, the TRRS is wired as [Left-Right-Ground-Mic]. Since OMTP was initially endorsed by Ericsson (and Nokia, which still uses the OMTP standard), all of their cellphone, including those under the Sony Ericsson branding, uses this standard. It also got adopted by a few other cellphone manufacturers as standard before mid 2011, such as LG, Motorola, Sony and Samsung. In mid 2010, the OMTP organization transitioned itself into another organization (the WAC, if you are interest to know), and the OMTP standard for headset was subsequently being phased out by most manufacturers within the following year (* it takes time to sell off old models) in favor of the CTIA standard. Part of the big reason for adapting the CTIA standard might be due to the fact that it is the standard used by Apple on their iDevice, which represent a big share of the headset market. Standardization demands from political groups (i.e. the EU) also played a role to push for one headset standard that will work on both Android and iOS, as well as most dumbphones (except for Nokia, which doesn’t like to play with other for now)

Hello, I have the same problem, I read about it on the net and it's the lollipop who cause the problem, my wife's S5 has the same problem and after a call to Samsung they told me to do a factory restore and the problem should be solved, it's because the latest update of lollipop has run over the previous update on kitkat and that's not good, in some cases there's no problem but??? I have a little improvement after a reset of my Z3 compact, there's a tiny little red button next to the simcard reader and you have to push that, there will be 3 vib's and then I got the short message "software update" after the reboot my battery last longer but I'm not sure it's the same as on kitkat.

all suggestions to improve battery life on lollipop are welcome

Good luck!!!

Same issue here. Battery is draining fast, Z3 is warm almost all the time, just right after the update to lollipop.

Not to be funny about this, but I do not have an issue correct. Because you do not need to factory reset after an official update.

I am correct, because my battery life is great (30-36 hours of one charge and I use it a lot) and I did not factory reset

Yes I do, but a factory reset is like using a sledge hammer to crack a pea. There are other things to do first than wiping the system.

Its very easy to offer advice of factory resetting, the skill is often finding the root cause and not just giving blanket advice that covers all possibilities
