[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] shepherd17:
I'm not sure what's going on with my phone (Samsung Galaxy S6 from Verizon). I did install PingPong root and was enjoying it until yesterday morning when the phone was stuck in some weird boot loop.

After getting root, the only thing I've really done was to try to get into servicemode app by modifying the file

/efs/carrier/HiddenMenu

Modifying this file worked and I could access the servicemode app fine.

I've gone through a number of different steps to try to get it back to a normal operation but nothing has worked:

1. Factory reset

2. Cache reset

3. Odin + original firmware found on this forum

4. Verizon tool to repair phone

In every case, the phone will boot, load Android and show the initial setup screens and then after 1-3 minutes it will restart. There is no warning, it just reboots.

I've tried to look at logcat or dmesg to see if there is anything suspicious but it doesn't reveal anything.

The only clue I have that the above steps haven't completely reset the phone to the completely original settings is I am still able to access the servicemode app. I cannot under the HiddenMenu change I did without rerooting the phone.

Does anyone have any idea what's going on with my phone? Are there any logs or places I can check for actual issues?

Any help or advice is appreciated.

What do you guys think of Android M that was unveiled at Google I/O recently? What features would you like to see come to the G3?

[G3 General] chacho_2me:
before we go M..i think we should need concentrate on 5.1

or maybe LG wants to jump

or maybe LG forgot us already
[G3 General] Redline:
We're already on 5.1 mate, at least AOSP is anyway, as are most stock-based custom ROMs.
[G3 General] geoff5093:
What stock-based LG ROMs are on 5.1? I know in the States the G3 is still on 5.0.
[G3 General] Redline:
The the Android Development section you can find some ROMs on 5.1, some on 5.1.1 even. Most AOSP (Fully-custom ROMs) are on 5.1.1. I thought CloudyG3 was on 5.1 but I might be wrong.
[G3 General] geoff5093:
I've seen all the 5.1 AOSP-based ROMs (I'm on BlissPop myself), but I haven't noticed any LG stock ROMs based on 5.1, guess I missed them.
[G3 General] t-shock:
I thing (and I hope) that LG did not forget us. Lg might want to jump to M rather than 5.1
[G3 General] rayiskon:
These threads are really stupid.

1- Android M was not released, and won't be before October/November.

2- There are no 5.1 stock-LG based ROMs because 5.1 was not yet released for the G3.

3- No one knows what will LG do. We might get 5.1.1 tomorrow, or we might not get it ever, it's up to them. There are no time frames to when will LG release an update. Everything people write around here are pure speculations.
[G3 General] ingoljosh:
Have you guys heard of 5.2? Its out there.

BTW Android M "Developer Preview" was announced yesterday, it will be long before its released and IF lg releases it to any of their flagships (Excluding Nexus) you know the G4 will get it first.

AND!!!

this is about the 4th or 5th thread about android M in the G3 community.

OK, everything about android M is so clear.

What do you think about android N? When should we see it in our phone? What features would you like to see? ....................I am just joking.

I mean, stop making threads about not released versions, or continue with ones that are for future release Android N, O, P, Q, R, S, T....

So I keep setting my watch notifications to "all", but after the screen turns off and I go back to the notification settings, it always goes back to " none".

The android wear version is 5.0.2

Maybe it's just a bug, but if someone could tell me how to fix this that would be great.

Thanks!

Nope.. I just turned "theater mode" on and then went back into the notification setting and it was set to "all".

I noticed that the problem I'm having is not constant. Like now it's working fine but earlier today and even before that it was having this issue.

Anything else you think it could be?

Thanks.

Same problem here.

I seemed to get it working.

Went to settings-Device-Sounds and Notifications-Application Notifications. Then I selected "Android Wear" and turned on "Priority"

Hope it sticks.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttoommxx:
hi, since the 5.1 official rom (soak test) have been released it has been a chaos. I understood that i cannot flash the ota zip via recovery since I have xt1039 (EU version). What do i have to do in oder to install it? Do i have to flash, via fastboot, brazilian recovery? Doing so will i make my phone a brick?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mental Moose:
Despite what my first points might suggest, this does not seem to just be an issue with the Exchange admin disabling Smart Lock.

First the issue: When I add my work e-mail, it completely disables Smart Lock and all the underlying features with the note "Disabled by administrator".

Of course, this sounds like they have disabled this server side.

The thing is though, that this worked problem free up until recently, when I had to reset my phone and then add my account again.

I checked with the admins and they claimed nothing have been changed on the server.

It also did not affect anyone else using Android phones.

Then I tried removing and re-adding the account on a colleague's phone and now he got the same issue.

Turns out that this only happens with the newest Gmail app. (5.2).

If I uninstall updates and downgrade Gmail to 5.0 or 5.1 ish and then add the Exchange account, I can activate Smart Lock without problems.

It keeps working problem free, even after upgrading the Gmail app.

In short, my testing suggests that this only an issue if you add the Exchange account after upgrading the Gmail app to 5.2.

This workaround is serviceable for now, but it won't work anymore after Android M arrives, as then the system app version will start at 5.2 and can't be downgraded (I tried through adb install, but then everything just started crashing).

Because of this, I thought it might be time to find the actual cause here.

Any tips and suggestions?

Any helpful info I could provide?

Am I even close to being correct in my assumptions of fault?

Hi

Since nobody has answered me on where I can download the CID unlocker for my G3 Dopod 818 pro as the link doesn't work, will it give me an error if I try to upgrade and will my Dopod still work if it fails as I am not sure if my Dopod is locked or not, it's from Singapore and I have installed V2 on with WM5 recently.

Thanks

Thanks, I will try at home since can't download at work, but I did download the CID unlock from one of the PDAmobiz site. I don't think my Dopod is locked anyway since it's from Asia.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hehsusss:
Hey Guys!

I have a question regarding stock roms. I've been looking at SamMobile for an official release of Lollipop here in Philippines, the only download I can see is for a local carrier Globe. Will it cause problems if I flash this on my international N9005?

I also want to ask the same question for an S4 I9505, but it's the other way around; the phone is from Globe, network locked, and I am thinking of flashing an international version ROM. Will this cause problems? I know this isn't the right forum but just in case someone would like to answer.

Thank you!
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
1. Yes, you will have problems with the radios. It's not importat where you live that what CSC have your device. Install this APP and look for your CSC. Go to Sammobile.com, look for your csc, download and flash the latest stock rom for your device via ODIN. (Pic attached)

2. Regarding GT-i9505: Yes, it will cause lose of signal. The best you can do is unlock it by IMEI.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hehsusss:
I flashed a rom from Brazil. Everything works great it's just that the bloatware included is annoying. I figured the best option to flasha ROM from my country but the only one with a Lollipop ROM is carrier specific.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Samsung allows users to use roms from their own region interchangeably. In most cases, even globally.

I've never encountered issues with radio or signal loss when flashing different providers and countries in my own region, and I've had thousands of people flash and use all sort of different EU firmwares. (you can find the region on the sticker on the box.)

(US users have different devices with real carrier locks, so those are excluded.)

Hello everyone,

My mother owns a Nexus 5. Some days back her phone hanged so we waited till the battery depleted and it turned off. On turning it on we noticed that the phone didnt get any network. Tried almost everything but nothing worked. Then I switched to a test sim and the phone could catch the network but didnt work again once I inserted my mom's sim. We got a new sim but the same issue ( test sim and actual sim are on different operators). Can anyone recommend a solution?

After updating my wife's note 4 to lollipop. I noticed in settings - power saving - where you get the battery usage stats. I dont get to see the screen on time. That option has completely disappeared. By the way this is stock samsung lollipop. My note 4 has screen on time option. But not hers. I hope you guys could shed some insight on this predicament of mine.

I did. I have been using Samsung devices for the past 5 years and I am well versed with it. Have flashed rooted installed custom ROMS etc. But like I said above we both have Note 4's and I have the option right at the top. But my wife's phone doesn't have it in the entire list. This is after using the phone to about 70%. Therefore it should ideally account for the balance 30% and show the screen on time. I am really bummed by this.

So I activated Universal Switch on S6 Edge to check it out, something went wrong in the settings (long story short, got a pop up while setting it up), now screen unresponsive.

It works, I just get this blue horizontal line scanning the screen and nothing else but the power button and home button works. Tried safe mode, no bueno. How can I disable US feature without resetting to factory or at least no data wipe (if possible!)?

Android 5.0, rooted with pingpong, no custom recovery, knox 0x0.

Hi,

I have been struggling with Universal Switch on a Samsung S5 Neo. I switched it on, but was never able to switch it off again.

These are findings so far:

-> Did a factory reset using "Sound Up", "Home" and "Power" button simultaneous.

-> The device comes back and wants to configure itself again.

-> I restored my settings from Google, but this immediately brought back "Universal Switch"

-> Factory Reset again and configured the device, but told Google that I want to use it as a "New Device".

-> Now I can use my device in a proper way.

-> In Google Play Store I find all my Apps which were linked to my account and reinstalled them and I am back in business again.

-> Took me half a day to sort this out.

The programmer who designed and programmed this should be hung and shot and poisoned, because this is absolute Crapware.

Hope this helps for all the others who are suffering.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] myricknsa:
I was faced with this problem before and looked everywhere and couldnt find a fix. This was a while ago. So I dont remember what I did to clear it. I was cleaning off the screen and touched the home button as I was wiping it off and the problem began again.... I just came across your comment because all the others failed. I pressed the home button 3 times quickly and the blue lines stopped scrolling. In addition, I went over the accessibility and I turned off the "Universal Switch" option as much as the option allows. I hate this function. I do not use it or need it (for my needs). I hope I can remember what to do next time this happens. I swore to myself I would remember last time, but apparently that wasnt a guarantee. This time, I will write it down and put is somewhere I know I will find it next time I see these nefarious blue lines scrolling. Hopefully I wont see it again since I disabled it more than it was to begin with. Thank you ever so for commenting. You saved me a lot of frustration!

How to Turn Off Universal Switch Scanner

Hi there

I had the same problem on Samsung Galaxy S6 Android 6.0.1. No solutions worked. Nothing. So I took my SIMPLEST OTG cable (USB 2.0 female on one side and micro USB 2.0 male on the other). Here is a link:

goo.gl/dkmA7S

1. We plug male micro USB to the phone and to its female end we plug our USB mouse (USB mouse with a regular USB male plug).

2. The pointer appears on the phone screen.

3. We act just exactly like on a PC. If you have a PATTERN LOCK, you have to DRAG the pointer keeping LEFT MOUSE CLICKED all the time until you finish drawing a pattern.

4. The same thing is when DRAGGING SCREENS (from left to right and right to left) - LEFT MOUSE CLICK pressed.

5. Now you are going to SETTINGS > ACCESSIBILITY > DEXTERITY AND INTERACTION > UNIVERSAL SWITCH > make it OFF

That's it!!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] FoCoGuy:
No need for an OTG adapter.

I was having the same problem as some others on here, where pressing the home button 3 times wasn't fixing it. So what *did* work for me was to first force-restart the phone (by holding volume down and power buttons at the same time for 8 seconds), then in the menu that comes up, boot into safe mode. Once it's booted, NOW you can press the home button 3 times and it will turn off Universal Switch! Next, go into the Accessibility >> Direct Access settings and turn off Universal Switch. Reboot as you normally would and you're good to go! Hope that helps!

A combination of the solutions here worked for me. This is for people whose screens and buttons were unresponsive, but had a blue, rectangular outline of certain areas of the screen that could be clicked or long pressed. I'm on a T-Mobile Note8 using Oreo.

- Boot into safe mode (look it up for your phone on your current Android version)

- Press Volume Up and Power Button simultaneously (Samsung might have changed the gesture from 3 home button presses to this new gesture. See attached photo for more details)

- Universal Switch turned off, and I was able to go to use my phone now. Went to Settings and confirmed it was off

- Reboot phone

Also, for those of you looking to unlock your phone:
