[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lil B Rules All:
First off, Welcome to Android :) You've made a wise decision.

As for your storage concerns, there's a few things you can do, but none of them are going to be as good as having the 128Gb of internal storage.

First I suggest that you install one drive and see if you get the free 100GB of storage that is coming with some of the Galaxy S6 + S6E. Then turn on the camera upload feature. This will upload all of the pictures you take to your cloud storage. I do this and about once a month I go through and delete all my videos and pictures from my phone (apart from the ones that I want to have quickly handy). The rest of your pictures and videos will still be available to you as long as you have an internet connection... Like I said, not ideal but it works well. I don't have to venture to my drive very often unless I'm looking for an old pic to print or send.

As for the performance issues, I don't think you will see that many issues here. The biggest problem you will run into is when you want to install an app or update and you are at your limit. Then you will have to do some memory shuffling to move forward which is always annoying.

The octacore processor is kind of like two quad core processors. So each quad core processor handles different tasks. (i.e. one will handle small stuff like messages and background and the other will run your videos, streaming, games etc..) Samsung did a good job at balancing the workload for the processors, it makes switching between your apps a breeze and really eliminates any kind of sluggishness. I have had mine for about 3 weeks and it is still as snappy and awesome as day 1!

Anyways, hope this helps!

You will have issues with the battery though, coming from the 6 plus

USB OTG

This would be a good solution to your problem.

It is a very small USB OTG adaptor (the front half from the photo) in which you can plug your USB stick (the second half).

You can get a flash drive OTG (On The Go), but I prefer the adaptor, because I can plug in it every flash drive I have in my pocket.

I suppose it sucks power but hey, you can charge now your SGS 6E in half an hour ;)

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unyx:
Hi XDA community,

I updated my One+ one to OS Oxygen lollipop (succesfully) by loading the zip file from the TWRP menu, but I prefer the 4.4.4 version (main reason is battery life), so before reinstalling the original CM11, I decided to 'clean' a little bit my phone.

I think I wipe too many things (like system, data, sdcard...) (erfff, I know, I'm stupid and make a big mistake, but that's not the point !)

Now, I have a nice phone, without any OS.

Question is :

How can I copy a new ROM zip into the phone storage to install it from TWRP ? (the only way I know to inxtall a ROM)

Or maybe I'm totally wrong and I need to do something else, but what ?

I'm not a total noob, but I'm really stuck with a OSless phone and don't really know what to search.

Can someone point me to the correct direction ?!

Thanks in advance
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr hOaX:
Hello,

Since last ROM you used was based on Android Lollipop, you can flash any Android Lollipop based ROM without any issues by just pushing the ROM.zip along with GApps.zip in the internal storage.

If you want to rollback to any Android KitKat based ROM, you need to flash CM11S firmware first before flashing any Android KitKat based ROM otherwise you'll end up bricking the device.

And if you happen to flash Android KitKat based ROM first and then suddenly changed your mind to upgrade to latest Android Lollipop based ROM, then recommendation is to first flash any CM12 nightly and then flash any Android Lollipop based ROM.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] unyx:
Thanks Mister for your answer :angel:

My pb was more about how can I copy the ROM on my phone, but anyway, I found a solution with the USB-OtG :good:

I copy the CM11 rom on the OtG key, plug it on my phone, and from the TWRP menu, I successfully mount the 'otg-usb', so I can browse the additional usb key plugged on my 1+1, and select the correct zip file.

By the way, many thanks for your explanation and direction on how I can upgrade/downgrade my device without brick it !

Long life to XDA :)

Hi all.

Just asking for your expertise on this which I totally don't understand.

My friends bought 2 X01ht unlocked versions recently. They have been unlocked and loaded with olipro bootloader which chinese rom and radio on it. But when we check the imei thru settings-> device information, they have the same imei. I think imei is something written on the rom and can't be changed, even if we patch new radio rom, right?

Unless something uses other tools to change the imei manually, right?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] austinsnyc:
there are tools that can rewrite the IMEI on a phone ROM flashing or radio flashing will not do it. I believe those tools are hard to get ahold of though but changing the IMEI is possable and i have sen it done before.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
check if the devices have been opened (no warranty sticker), probably the person who has unlocked them has copied the flash from one qualcomm to another, this requires taking out the qualcomm chip to flash it and then solder it back to the device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Tianjun:
The shop told me that the flashing changed the IEMI no. other than opening the case.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pof:
Flashing using the normal RUU won't change your IMEI number, it can change the last 2 digits (Software Verison) of the IMEISV (17 digit instead of 15).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Immb:
maybe hardware problem :D bc check the imei thru settings-> device information >15 digits

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccsoccer03:
My wife currently has a Samsung Galaxy S4 and she complains about how slow it is all the time. I think that the Nexus 6 is the best choice as a replacement due to it not having the overlaying UI. She is torn between the Nexus 6 and the iphone, since she had the iPhone 4s before that, but I believe she likes the Nexus 6 better for the front facing speakers, larger display, higher megapixel camera etc.

What I would like to know is... does different camera

apps

(on the nexus 6 specifically) produce "Better" pictures than the stock Google Camera App. If you have multiple apps, can you take pictures with the different apps and post them? I would like to know also if its purely hardware, software, or a combination of both that makes the best picture with this phone. Thank you in advance!!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You can absolutely use multiple camera apps and compare for yourself, if that's what you want to try. I use the Google camera but I don't take tons of pictures, mostly pics of my kids. (wife uses the G3 for that) Many users do switch apps and get better results.

As far as hardware, for Nexus devices, this is the best so far. Obviously, things get better with every new device. Sadly, this is the only thing, IMHO, that Android loses to Apple. The hardware is there but software still seems to suffer. The camera on the S6 is supposed to be great and the upcoming G4, is supposed to be spectacular. The Nexus 6 camera isn't horrible, by any means, but there are better out there.

Hope I've helped a bit. :)
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccsoccer03:
The Apps that come to mind are Manual Camera, Camera L, Camera FV -5. Do they make the pcitures better?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I do recall seeing a few of those mentioned, with positive results.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doitright:
Some applications will have more "tunables" in it for instructing the camera how to operate. Generally speaking though, the picture is still a product of the hardware.

Having said that, in BLIND tests (referring to the methodology, not the people looking at the pictures...), Nexus 6 beats applefone6 massively when it comes to actual picture quality. The focus can be a bit slow on it though.

Hello guys (and girls?)

I tried to root my Note 4 (SM-N910f) and failed! Now I cant even start my phone. It keeps restarting with some text and number up left corner.

When I try to restart phone via HOME BUTTON, POWER BUTTON AND VOLUME DOWN BUTTON a message appears and says that firmware recovery problem encountered.

what should i do?? (Besides paying for it)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcor:
hi ,

in short ,this is what i have done in past ( to get out of soft brick )........................Flash correct stock ROM with Odin .!

Pull battery and insert again ,then same as above Home ,power, volume down to try to get into download mode ..?

if so ,connect to pc and flash correct stock via Odin.

futher ..

i have N910F ,stock Rom ,..BOC5 ..rooted with cf autoroot ( make sure you have correct zip, for you phone and software ? ) and running a custom recovery, CWM .( also make sure you have correct version CWM ..see screenshot is what i used to flash CWM )

Hello

I cant start my phone up, i can eather go into download mode or a screen which says i need to recover firmware.

and yes I have SM-N910F .. I still dont know exactly what to do!
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcor:
hi ,

First ,im not sure what you mean with "start ". your phone,is it commpletely "dead " ?

if so have you plugged it into wallsocket/charged ? and then tried again ?

Can you boot up your phone /do you see Samsung logo ?

What happens when you do ...power /volume down/home button ...?

If you can boot and see Samsung logo, what i can suggest( at this stage )

is to search for video on XDA /or Youtube .

how to enter download mode ..

eg

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-zvwUS6as4

This should give you idea about download mode .

good luck
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hacmemet:
Hello. I get to see the samsung Logo but that is as far it goes, then it restarts before it gets on dekstop and then over and over.

UNSLESS I PUSH home buttion, volume......then it goes to download mode - but my phone can recoer with kies and i dont know what to do with Odin.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechLife:
If your Phone is able to go in Recovery Mode(Press Powerbutton+Volume UP+HOME to go in RecoveryMode) Either its Stock Recovery Or Custom recovery....

Wipe/Format every thing......

Than try to Go in Download mode if Suceeded than you should Try to Download this & Flash VIA Odin its Stock Touchwiz Lollipop Multi CSC firmware....

or Download Your Rom from Sammobile Here

I hope your problem will be solved :)
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willcor:
hi ,

well if you can see Samsung logo ,that good !!

your phone seems to be soft bricked..( not really very big problem ,don't worry ..!!!! )

Only way to fix , is to flash your current stock ROM .

if you prefer Kies well ,i stated in above post that i don't think much of Kies .

One point i would like to point out.

Download mode ...

first pull battery ..then insert battery

if you hold buttons ..home +power + volume ......you get to a triangle warning........then press volume up again ..download mode (you will see same as screenshot( its an old foto of my Note 2 , but similar ) ....download mode ..Green Android man ..note if you want to get out of this ..pull battery )

good luck

post note

i have had same problem as you in past once or twice...!

fixed it with reflashing correct stock rom .

So just try to think positively ,it really very small issue .

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dennis5pia:
I have a mifi and a broadband sim card (data only), I had a Internet subscription for a week, everything was fine till my subscription expired. After that when I get connected from my galaxy S5 into my mifi wifi it prompts to sign into network, if I hit the sing into network message it takes me to the browser to my carrier website and ask me to buy a new subscription, but I don't need a new subscription since I'm having partially free Internet connection with this sim card, Facebook, whatsapp, YouTube, playstore, eBay and some others apps work just fine without any internet subscription. Then after 2 minutes wifi disconnect automatically and a session timed out message appear. It doesn't happen with other phones or devices I have tested. They keep connected and no sign into network message appear in those devices.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
If there is one good thing I can say about the new Lollipop Update for the T-Mobile Note 4; is that my display looks a lot more sharp and crisp; colors are well uniform, the viewing angle tints have virtually disappeared. Wonder what future updates will bring. Cheers
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] joe1blue:
I thought I was the only one that noticed that.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] egren58:
I think this is because lollipop is meant to run at 1440p rather than 1080p. Again thats jusy what i think not 100% sure
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] jazzmachine:
Whew! So glad to see some reports of significant improvements included with the update rolling in (display / modem)! If only it could also improve physical display curve uniformity as well to relieve us of the screen protector fit difficulties that we've endured ;) :laugh:

Has anyone whose run one of the Canadian-based LP ROMs noticed a similar display improvement, or does this seem to be specific to the T-mobile update?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
Long live the Note 4 :cowboy:

The Crown is available for the Note 4 now.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] :
I too did notice a difference between KitKat and Lollipop. Throwing on Action Launcher 3 Plus and enabling wallpaper theme and using Tapet for daily wallpaper changes makes it sexier.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] OriginxRambo:
everything does look better and seems work way smoother than kitkat did for this phone
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mali20_7:
This sounds too good to be true, so the super amoled technology has finally been perfected through a software update? This is big.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Dumbo53:
No change for me.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mali20_7:
So based on what you see on your note 4, do you think there is a chance that the lollipop update once available for my tab s 8.4 might completely fix those issues? It's the color uniformity that bothers me the most as the lower 1/3 part of the screen turns pinkish on white backgrounds and darker on grey or dark backgrounds, also viewing angle tints are very prominent even at slight angles. I have been under the impression that those are hardware issues related to limitations of amoled manufacturing or something, so to hear that it can be fixed/improved through firmware is good news I think.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Dumbo53:
They are hardware issues and LP will do nothing to improve them.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] neofreek01:
I don't know maybe it is placebo but when I got my phone I remember thinking that the color changes at even slight angles were very prominent. I even mentioned it to my wife that with the big screen at normal viewing distance was impossible to see the entire screen at a perfect straight on viewing angle and the outer edges of the screen were kinda off colored but if I looked at that part of the screen straight on it was beautiful I just figured that a big screen the edges were kinda off at angle so it was hardware limitations. But now whether I'm just getting used to it or its better because of lollipop update but it definetly is not as prominent to me. It is at least to me an interesting occurrence
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
The software update wouldn't completely resolve these issues due to the manufacturing limitations of AMOLED technology. However, the display uniformity is more acceptable now than it was in KitKat; the uniformity is more acceptable perhaps due to the material design implemented in Lollipop; also a few parameters may have been modified in the RGB values giving perception of a better display. I remember having a yellow tint on the Galaxy S2, and after flashing a newer firmware via ODIN, the yellow tint was gone. Definitely not a placebo. The conclusion: The AMOLED (hardware) uniformity issues are still present, but minimally, not as noticeable, and improved by software.

It will also depend on the degree of the uniformity issue on your display. Every AMOLED screen has a slight hint of uniformity issue (whether it is viewing angle tints or just the way the panel was aligned). Too much unevenness is indicative of a defective display, the tint shouldn't be that obvious and noticeable at appropriate brightness and display mode.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mali20_7:
The screen on my Tab S 8.4 LTE has a yellow tint covering the top 2/3 of the screen then gradually fades into a pinkier/darker tone, it is not strikingly visible by any means, especially in higher brightness levels and on colorful backgrounds you cannot really notice it unless you know it is there and you look for it specifically, it's most noticable on solid white or grey, in games it appears as if the lower part of the screen is slightly darker than the top part, also AMOLED Cinema mode tends to mask it a little more than other modes in my perception, also tilting the device even slightly shows a blue/greenish tint. Are those the kind of issues that you had on your note 4? If so, how much did you find the Lollipop update improved them?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
I noticed tint when tilting the display in KitKat. The degree of tint will very from device to device. Though Lollipop may have masked some of the tint when I tilt the device, the AMOLED anomaly will always be there, regardless of whether you have Tab S, Note 4, S6, etc. There is an improvement, still slightly visible, but nothing drastic; the update is not necessarily the cure.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Heavy Metal:
Is it worth updating to lollipop?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Dumbo53:
It's fairly easy to prove if the update improves display uniformity. Download a free screen test app and set the screen to display a light gray scale image or whatever best shows the flaws. Take a screenshot under both KK and LP. Compare.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] mali20_7:
A simple screenshot will not work, it must be captured on camera.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] Dumbo53:
Sorry, you're right!
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 General] arjun90:
I would wait for the next Lollipop update, 5.1, especially if you're content with your current display uniformity
