[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Polaroidon:
The towlroot does not work for my S4 Active. I click "make it ra1n" and it says my phone isn't supported. I'm assuming it is because mine has a Kernel date of Aug 28 2014, and towelroot says it must be before June 3 2014. Am I not able to root my phone? I've been googling around for about an hour, sifting through threads on here and haven't been able to find anything.

Running 4.4.2 kitkat.

Thanks.

Posting in General to get more exposure. <Mod Edit Questions Belong in Q&A> This is driving me nuts, i rely on email, coming from push blackberry email this is not desirable at all.

If I'm actively using the phone the notifications come through fine, if i leave the phone on my wireless charger (PMA) i do not get any notifications after it has been sitting on the charger for about 20mins or longer.

I'm also not the only one with this problem, all the obvious settings are set correctly. I contacted Samsung and they created a ticket but no clue when if ever this will be resolved.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronis_BR:
Are you seeing this behavior when your phone is connected in WiFi or mobile network?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arf8:
Good question, this occurs only when on mobile network. When it is on wifi it works fine. I have tried different version of the Gmail client and they behave the same. I suspect the problem is only on the S6 models b/c other mfg and older phones with the latest version of lollipop behave ok. I have spent a week testing different scenarios and trying different clients.

Also worth noting SMS and phone calls work fine. It is just email notifications.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronis_BR:
I had notifications problem (exactly what you described) when I was connected in WiFi using a router with IPV6 enabled. However I have never had problems when I was connected to the mobile network.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kswa1987:
I too had the no-notifications-on-wifi issue and, like Ronis, solved it by turning off all IPv6 connections on my wireless router. It may be worth a shot to go to Settings --> Mobile networks --> Access Point Names --> click the gear next to your currently selected APN --> scroll down to APN protocol: does it say IPv4 or IPv6? If it's IPv6 either use another APN with IPv4 or manually add an IPv4 APN for your carrier (google can help you find this).
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arf8:
The issue myself and many others have is not related to wifi. I think i mentioned in the post you had it was a config setting b/c with wifi on everything works fine.

The issue occurs when it is being wireless charged, when it is not being charged the notifications work.... This is critical b/c most people may not have this problem b/c they don't leave their phone on wireless chargers to notice.

Do me a favor and do this test, charge your phone, and leave it untouched for 20 mins. If you have a wireless charger that is best b/c that is what I'm seeing. During that time make sure you get no TXT or phone calls and only your mobile data is on. Send yourself an email and see if your gmail client notifies you. I'll be willing to bet you won't get the notification like us until you wake your phone up than all the email notifications start coming in. Again this is email notifications, txt, phone calls works.

Cheers

Update to those following this.

I factory reset the phone after i used odin to flash factory rom. Installed latest ATT update. Setup google account and again put the phone on wireless charger, after 10 mins of no activity send myself emails from different accounts from the PC and No emails notifications at all with just Mobile Network only turned on. I'm going to repeat these tests with a wired charger now to see if it is repeatable.

This is quite a headache, with phone off charger it works fine. I'm sure if more people did this test they would see same problem.

I have confirmed even with wired charger, email notifications do not work either. .....
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arf8:
If there are others who can also test this i would appreciate it. I have contacted samsung and they created a ticket but no way to know when if it will be resolved.

Test condition:

1. Charge phone, wired or wireless, only turn on Mobile network, no wifi!!!

2. Leave the phone untouched and idle for 10+ mins

3. during this time no txt or phone calls otherwise it will reset the sleep flag

4. after 10+ mins of no activity send yourself emails from a desktop or another phone. You should in theory get notifications but I'm willing to be you will not.

Thanks

Many more threads like this, guys please contact ATT if you that is your carrier, I have already contacted ATT and Samsung. This is a bug and it appears to be affecting a small number of phones from a batch they have distributed. I'm on my second s6, new from Costco and it is doing the same thing.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/343ma2/push_notifications_only_being_received_on_wifi/
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arf8:
Update: I returned the phone and ended up paying an additional $60 to get the Gold model from BestBuy which had it in stock. I talked to the reps there and quite a few people have returned the Edge models for various problems including this notification issue on the White and Black models. The two i returned back to Costco were both black. The Gold model they just received and have had 0 returns but it has only been a week and there was only two left. I'll test tonight and report the findings. The Samsung rep also told me there has been very little returns of the non Edge model, most if not all the returns have been on the edge models according to him.

I also had a customer tell me on his edge (black 32gig att) his exchange emails would get deleted automatically and after 3 phone swaps he went with the note and has been happy since.

Samsung needs to spend a little more time to work out the bugs b/c this is a great phone with the exception of these software issues b/c most are software related.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arf8:
Update2: The first gold model i got did not take OTA not matter how many times i tried, factory reset, cache, etc. The home button also was slightly recessed in more on one side than the other. This to me spells quality control issues at least with the home button and this is the first have seen on the s6 edge but the previous phones were all black. So I went to a different best buy and got another gold edge and this one the home button looked right and it took the OTA on the first try like the previous black phones. I'm leaning on not only software issues with the edge but potential quality control issues with the hardware as well.

To the issue at hand with audible Email notifications, the first one did not work like the previous edge phones. So I'm going to be testing this new second gold s6 edge now. I'm not too optimistic at this point. I have a phone call schedule with the ATT ICU team tomorrow or the following day, would be interesting to see what the engineers have to say after testing this specific scenario.

Suffering from the same problem. Wife has 64 GB White S6 -- no issue on hers. My 64 GB Black started suppressing notifications about 24 hours after I got it. Tried a wipe / reinstall OS at the AT&T Device Service Center yesterday. That fixed it for another 24 hours, but it just started happening again today. Android 5.0.2.

It only happens when the screen is off. Happens on wifi and LTE.

I have a replacement coming from AT&T, but I'm worried it will have the issue as well.

Xperia users on 5.0.2 have been seeing similar problems. talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z3-Compact/Notifications-not-Working-When-Phone-in-Sleep-Mode/td-p/879641

That leads me to believe this is an OS bug.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arf8:
Contact ATT customer service and ask to speak to Urgent care Team. Also contact Samsung. the only way it will get fixed is if more people contact them so they build more cases and get a resolution out quickly. Otherwise it will take longer to resolve sadly. I went through 7 phones before I got one that somewhat worked. Will never be as good as blackberry push email but its better than not receiving the audible notifications at all.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsheremeta:
Do you have a ticket number I can reference at either AT&T or Samsung?

And, yes, I have several wireless chargers that I leave the phone on -- even while in the car.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arf8:
ATT urgent care team doesn't give any ticket numbers unfortunately, but here are the samsung tickets. However i would urge you to contact the carrier first b/c they have a direct line of communication with Samsung as opposed to their tech support number which will send the info to the engineers and developers.

I had more tickets but I can only find these for now. When i find the rest I will post them. Also I went to best buy and the samsung reps took the IMEI number and also reported the issue with my tickets so I have approached this as many ways as possible.

Ticket number: 1116476568 & 2135852781

You can contact Samsung voice support team through 1-888-987-HELP(4357) Mon - Fri : 7am - 2am (CST) Sat - Sun : 9am - 10pm (CST)

Hope this helps. Let me know what happens.

I"ve been having the same issues...I think it started after the last android update...I have the blue edge...other factor is that i have to use a micro cell tower
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arf8:
That is very odd, normally if you have this problem it is out the box, but it would not surprise me if the update breaks it. Again i would suggest you contact Samsung and let them know as well as your carrier.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsheremeta:
I waited on contacting AT&T or Samsung, since I had a replacement on the way and wanted to test it.

Out of the box -- apps installed and no issues.

18 hours later, still working fine.

2 hours after that, the phone did an "AT&T system update".

Shortly after that, I felt the feeling of dread come over, as I thought it odd I hadn't received any notifications for a while. Fingerprint unlock, swipe up, and the notifications come rolling in all at once.

I'll call AT&T and Samsung tomorrow.

How is it that more people aren't noticing this? It has to be a very widespread bug!

Great, i added some comments, however I still urge you to contact Samsung and your Carrier especially b/c they have direct line of communication with Samsung engineers
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gsheremeta:
I did both. AT&T wasn't helpful for me. Samsung opened a ticket and I'm waiting for the next level of support to get back to me.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arf8:
You need to tell ATT you want to speak to the Urgent Care Team, once you talk to those guys, they will call you back and follow up, not like their amateur support which wants you to power cycle and rest everything. The reps at Samsung don't have a direct line with engineering, all they can do is forward your ticket so i found the carrier was best option b/c they have a means to contact samsung engineers direct. Either way the more we get people involved the better b/c the push notifications on this phone does not just affect emails as I'm finding out, other apps are also affected.

Clean install of a ftf is better than Flashing a Pre-Rooted zip. I flashed a Lp Pre-Rooted zip and face some problem... Specially battery drainage issue. So I installed the clean LP ftf. And rooted it afterwards... My battery is a beast now :)

Requirements

1: King Root

2: XZDualRecovery 2.8.15-RELEASE.installer.zip http://nut.xperia-files.com/

3: BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip

(SuperSU-v2.46 will give you binary update error) (place this zip in your internal memory/Sdcard

Steps

1: Flash your latest ftf of LP 5.0.2 via flashtool to start a clean install. IF You are already on LP, ignore step 1.

2: Install King Root Apk and Run it. Click on root. Wait until it says 100%. It should be 100%. U rooted your mobile successfully. Don't restart your mobile.

3: Place XZDualRecovery 2.8.15intsaller.zip in any folder of your PC and extract it.

4: Connect your mobile to your computer with Debugging mode enabled.

5: Open XZDualRecovery folder and Click on Install.bat. A command window will be opend. Choose/Type 2 (root with SuperUser) and pres enter. Follow the instructions... Done... XZDualRecovery is installed :)

6: Boot in to recovery and Install BETA-SuperSU-v2.49.zip. Restart your mobile... You have a working SuperSu without any binary update problem.

7: Delete KingUser App Manualy by Going into /system/app/kinguser.apk. Or u can delete it by some system app remover application. It is necessary to delete King User App because It may be cause conflict with SuperSu.

All Done.....

Is there already a possibility of rooting/unlocking the phone?

I got my Z3+ world version yesterday... I like to root as soon as possible...

I find some problems with taking pictures under water... The phone starts doing crazy things as the water seems to activate the touchscreen in a strange way... When taking the phone out of the water, the touchscreen only can be reactivated after putting the phone in stand-by first...

Also the first time I wanted to shoot a picture, the app crashed right away stating that the phone was overheating...

Will contact SonyNL and T-Mobile for this, as I'm not really happy at the moment...
[Xperia Z4/Z3+ General] xDope:
HOW TO ROOT:

First one should get root on an old firmware with [MENTION=806275]ZyZ[/MENTION] tool.

Install Dual boot recovery.

Use latest .77 fw ftf *to create a pre-rooted firmware. You can use PRFCreator tool for this.

Get the pre-rooted firmware flashable.zip in your phone’s internal memory.

Now reboot into TWRP recovery by opening NDR Utils app

Flash the pre-rooted firmware.

Switch off the device. No need to reboot.

Now open the FlashTool and flash .77 fw – Excluding System.

Done

Hey there guys and gals.

I am new to the whole rooting thing.

I have the LG G3 LS 990 ZV8.

I rooted it already and i am now looking for a rom to use. I wanted to post this with the roms in that subformum, but have less than ten posts.

So anyway, I had a few questions. I was thinking about using the Carbon 4.4.4, but the GAPPS linked were not there. OP (HP Tesla) mentioned what he uses, so i could find it no problem ut had other questions.

If i am at 5.1 should i rom to 5.1 not backwards? i assume it can be done but i would have to flash back to 4.4.4 myself first. I kinda wanna keep it all as simple as i can.

Also i had looked on another rom, and the GAPPS it linked to looked like it removed most of the features that the rom added.

So i would like some advice from those more experienced than I.

I would like a rom that has customization options (many do, so thats easy), Less bloatware (Again common), Adblocker, which not many i saw had listed in features, whether becasue it is assumed they are included, or not many have it, and additional things like audio tinkering, battery life improvements and the like are bonuses. Stability would be highly appreciated as well.

In sum, i would like input to which rom fits my needs (i looked at many myself, but its kinda like someone gave me a dictionary and told me to pick my favorite word, i just need help from someone with a better vocabulary.) and what the different kernels, GAPPS, and such bring to the table.

If some of you would like to say what you use and why.

Any help is much appreciated,

[Verizon LG G3] jfeldredge:
After having experimented with several custom ROMS over the last few days, I decided to go back to the stock ROM. I attempted to flash the stock 4.4.2 ROM using LGFlashTool. It does fine up until about 85% finished, when it reboots the phone, with the message "waiting 25 seconds for reboot". The phone reboots, then reboots a second time, and comes up in the MiniOS auto touch test, with a prompt saying "do not touch the screen". This hangs for several minutes, and the LGFlashTool eventually times out and says that the process failed. However, if you then click on OK (despite the "do not touch screen" warning), and use the combination of holding down the power button and clicking on "Normal Boot", the phone boots up and appears to be working correctly. I was then able to install the Verizon OTA update to bring the phone up to Lollipop. Am I OK at this point, or do I need to repeat the ROM-flashing process? If I need to repeat the process, how do I keep the device from hanging in the Auto Touch Test mode?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] galvanash:
Title says it all. Is there any way to disable this? I'm using StickMount on a rooted FTV and every time it restarts for any reason the USB detection dialog pops up asking if you want to format the USB storage (my drive is NTFS so the native USB storage support can't read it, hence it wants to reformat it).

Obviously this makes me rather nervous... I just want to disable the dialog (or whatever it would take to stop it from popping up - I don't want or need the horribly limited built in support).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cd2022:
I use a hub to get around this issue, but it works to my advantage: I can relocate FTV apps to the FAT32 USB. Or you can make a small FAT32 partition in your USB and the rest is NTFS to make FTV happy.
