[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] tymansdaddy:
I also need the recovery.img file. When I open flashify and try to choose the image file I downloaded it is greyed out and won't let me select it. Any ideas? I have tried downloading twrp through the flashify app and the S6 edge isn't on the download links.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] tylerholbrook:
I tried flashify, softbricked, took forever to get it back running as im on a mac, and having to use a VM and what not getting everything set up and the right Odin, right files, stock firmware, took me literally all night to get up and running again, and yet i still cant get twrp working on this damn phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] grneyez:
Try this:

1. Download twrp recovery and zip it with the installer script. Make sure it's named recovery.img

2. Install flashfire

3. Flash twrp update zip with flashfire

4. Hopefully boot into twrp!

This is how I got TWRP installed.
[Moto X Q&A] whgp:
I have Weak reception Wi-Fi on kitkat 4.4.4 :(

Are there solutions or tips :confused:

here talking about the same problem:

https://community.republicwireless.com/thread/31424
[Moto X Q&A] aceo07:
I recently got the Moto x (2013), and it also has a weak signal. Weaker signal compared to the my Nexus 4. In some areas where the Nexus4 connection is weak, the Moto x will have a very hard time keeping connection.
[Moto X Q&A] whgp:
What version you are using? 4.2 or 4.4.4 /L !!
[Moto X Q&A] aceo07:
I'm on 4.4.4. It's the 1053, dev edition.
[Moto X Q&A] vikramkhalsa:
Thats odd, I'm pretty sure my moto x has better reception than my nexus 4 did. At least for mobile/cell connection. Wifi seems alright as well.
[Moto X Q&A] aceo07:
Mobile/cell reception is might even be better on the Moto X.. However for wifi reception it doesn't like to maintain a connection as well as the Nexus 4 when it's equally far from the wifi router. The Nexus 4 is on 5.1.1 so I don't know if it's software or hardware issue.
[Xposed General] jaladhjin:
There was this module that would let you specify certain apps to show on the lockscreen even after turning the screen off & on..

The free version let you do like 5.. paid was unlimited..

Anybody remember what it was called ? I looked through the repository 3 times & it didn't stand out to me... not to say it isn't there it very well may be..

I just remember finding it once in some random "my top 5 xposed modules" video.. /shrug

Hello-

After dropping my 8525 and cracking the screen, I was able to replace the screen.

I am afraid I also damaged something that may have to do with the internal antenna. After putting the unit back together everything works except that it will not hold a GSM or DATA connection.

It will establish a GSM/DATA connection for a few minutes, drop and then start searching again. Eventually, I get a "No Service" exclamation mark. I have tried setting to GSM only and no 3G, but I get the same issue.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] cuboosh:
try changing the radio to 1.40 1.41 or 1.43 and see if that helps.. do u hear anything rattling in the phone? did u do the replacement urself or send it out?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wondermutt:
Thanks! I will give that a shot and post the outcome. No unusual rattling.

JP
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wondermutt:
Well...thanks for the tip...unfortunately...same issue. Changed radio to 1.43. Connects for one second and then starts searching all over again.

When I looked at the internal antenna, it "seemed" to be "all together". Anyone know where to get the hermes service manual?

Thanks again! Still open to additional suggestions...

Cheers,

JP
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wondermutt:
One other interesting tid-bit. I can see the antenna signal strength go from 4 - 3 - 2 - 1 bars before it drops the connection. Don't know if that is relevant?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
A bit of a guess this but. In the following two pictures you see the aerial first connected and then disconnected. Note the short brass rod that locates into a brass clip on the m/board. I am just wondering whether this is not making a good contact. If the aerial circuit adjusts signal strength in relation to the connected aerial it is conceivable that it sends a strong but reducing signal due to the aerial not be attached/good contact at that clip.

Mike
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] wondermutt:
Hi Mike,

My antenna looks like the first picture. However, I can dismantle and double check the connection. I have become quite agile at taking this thing apart.

Thanks for the insight!

Best,

JP
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] svprm:
Battery level suddenly drops to zero from 10-15 and mobile get switched off.

Is my battery or ROM problem?

How to wipe battery stats?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donkeykong1:
Are you rooted? If not, you can't wipe battery stats, bit you can reset your battery charge-discharge logic. You need to plug your phone to a charger for about 10 minutes. Then press power+vol up+vol down for at least 2 minutes. While you keep all buttons pressed, your phone will reboot few times. After 2 minutes let go of buttons and charge your phone to full. It doesn't matter if your phone is on or off while charging
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ourtech:
Although I have been a very satisfied T-Mobile customer for the last 7 years, it appears and tech support confirms that the tower that I connect to at home is oversold and instead of the 16 to 20 megs down that I used to get, I am now getting 1.5 meg on a good day and it goes down to .3 meg on bad days. I can't live with that as I have little other access to Internet bandwidth in my neighborhood and it gets worse every week. I use the Internet for business. The only fix appears to be another tower. Not a quick fix.

So, If I make the switch, what happens? Although it may work out better in switching if I give Sprint my existing Nexus 6, I will be using a Nexus 6 with them. I read comments that I will lose simultaneous voice and data use because of their Spark network. Is that true? What LTE speeds should I expect? I also understand that I will lose tethering if I opt for the unlimited plan (I am actually leaning toward the 20 GB family plan which I understand that I can share with my data enabled devices.) I don't read any nice things about Sprint.

Any thoughts you can share would be very helpful. Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaunold:
Dont do it bro, sprint is horrible. Tell me if you find 25 people you know that love sprint more than T-Mobile. Sprint is a rotting company hiding behind sales gimmicks and ideas from T-Mobile. T-Mobile is still rolling out this year with Band 12 700Mhz and its LTE footprint roll out replacing old edge areas. More people complain about sprint way more than T-Mobile. So if you dont like T-Mobile, you might as well get shartrizon or AT$$$T. I would recommend calling T-Mobile to send a tech. to your area to fix the issue or report it for fixing.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaphz:
Is Cricket Wireless an option? They are essentially AT&T with throttled LTE speeds of 8Mpbs down, no throttle up. I am paying $55/month for 20GB of LTE data. They no longer offer that plan, but have the same plan at 10GB of data.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ourtech:
See, that is my feeling as well. I can't find anyone that has nice things to say. As to AT&T or Verizon, wow does the cost jump. And to the point about getting a tech out there, been there, done that. T-Mobile is very aware of the problem. They have bee running tests for a while. Sadly, it is oversold. Not broken. Don't have too many options. There were some numbers from Verizon that weren't horrible, but I don't think Verizon pays ETFs.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaphz:
Someone is selling a CricketWireless 20GB LTE plan on Howard Forums...I have had ZERO issues using Cricket with my Nexus 6...in fact I am loving it.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ourtech:
I have looked at Cricket. The problem is that I do exceed 10 GB in some months and there is no provision for tethering or tablets that I could see. One of those options would be necessary.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaunold:
I had verizon wireless for 10 years and left them over a year ago for T-Mobile. I didn't regret anything. I didn't switch because of price because I could afford verizon, but their plans and phones suck and they are scam artists trying to rape every penny from you just like John Legere quoted. In my area and even in rural places in georgia I get pretty decent excellent coverage and service. At home I usually get from 80-112mbps down and 7-15mbps up. Verizon couldn't match that and hell, everyone I know that has sprint hate it and are jumping to T-Mobile because they get less than 1mbps and call quality sounds like pure ****. T-Mobile has nationwide VoLTE and WiFi calling and texting and the "Uncarrier" exclusives. I have unlimited data so I use it as my home internet since I have root for tethering unlimited data and its way faster than charters fastest speeds they deliver to my house lol. Sprint is also bad just like verizon because remember they are money hungry companies and they will lock u in contracts and can only use their cdma devices or select unlocked devices like the nexus 6. I heard verizon doesn't recognize the unlocked nexus 6, idk if that is true or not.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ourtech:
Link? And what about tablets or tethering? I need that data sometimes when I am out in the field and I have to remote into something. Yes, even my 6 inch screen is a little small. I don't see any plans for tablets.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaphz:
Although tethering is not supported, it does work.

There also would be no issue popping in a Cricket SIM in a Nexus 9. I've considered selling my WiFi N9 and getting a LTE N9 with a 20GB Cricket SIM.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ourtech:
From what I could see in the Howard forums, the 20 GB promo expired in April. Thanks though.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] metaphz:
It did expire, someone is selling their account.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaunold:
There is an app on the playstore if you have root called "WiFi Tether Router" which will work or if you want unlimited native tethering.

#1 in SQL lite go to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db/global

#2 add " tether_dun required " and set the value to 0

#3 in your APN settings add " dun " to APN type and set your APN to IPv4 only since IPv6 doesnt support this.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] success2be:
Either use OpenSignal app or their site and zoom in on your neighborhood. They have a list of carriers with their average upload and download speed.

Personally I wouldn't use Sprint as OpenSignal and Rootmetrics has shown it is the slowest network across the country.

Get a AT&T GoPhone sim and try them out for a month. Walmart sells the sims. They now have rollover data on prepaid just like T-mobile. Plus they're not throttled like Cricket.

I wait for Callingmart to announce their monthly 10% off GoPhone refills on Twitter. Then refill each month saving me $6.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestK0087:
Just my 2¢ but I have been with Sprint for going on 8 years. Their service is great in my area (now) and their customer service has always been outstanding. While I do agree that they don't have the best coverage, they have come a long way in my time with them. You can get unlimited, TRULY unlimited data with them for a good price. They offer payment plans on the top devices and as I said, customer service has bent over backwards for me more than once. Choice is yours, OP, just do your homework and choose wisely.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob2300nx:
I have no complaints with Sprint. They recently upgraded my area to LTE and its fast. Its really pointless to ask random people on the internet because they more than likely do not live in your state much less your city. Signal strength is the most important aspect of cell phone service and you wont find that answer here. I would find a coverage map and compare the carriers, make sure it is a legitimate coverage map and not advertising. I would also ask people in your area with Sprint so you can compare.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ourtech:
To each his own. I have learned a lot from this, coverage map aside (I am in a Spark enabled area of moderate strength, the same as I am for T-Mobile and for that matter, likely AT&T, which tells me little that I didn't already know. It is a topology issue.) My question wasn't about coverage. It was about the experience. I have learned that, unlike T-Mobile, Sprint customer service is out of country, but some have had good experiences with the company. I have also received useful suggestions about alternatives. This has been very useful to me. Sprint could have the strongest signal in my area and still be a company to avoid like the plague.

Free data after you reach your limit, and free music service streaming
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ourtech:
Good point. Hadn't thought about those. Thanks.

This morning my Speed Tests were decidedly better. At least 8 and as high as 12 meg. I haven't seen those numbers in months. So, (holding breath), perhaps my last call got something changed. I won't make changes unless I am sure there is no hope for change.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bob2300nx:
Other than calling to activate new phones, I have only had to call once in all my years with Sprint and I have no complaints on it. I don't generally need service, I pay my bill and use my phone lol. As far as overseas call centers, that's not entirely true; there is a Sprint call center in my city (along with a T-Mobile call center). To each their own.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikramjatt11:
I switched from Sprint to Verizon as my family plan 4 years ago, best decision of my life. Sprint will frustrate you beyond belief with their slow data, you won't even be able to load Google. I know you said the big 2 cost too much, so I'd stay with T-Mobile if I were you, avoid Sprint at all costs. I personally love Verizon, have 5 off contract smartphones with them, 15GB shared data, and pay $153+tax a month.
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuan2195:
I am running my Xperia Z3 on various AOSP ROMs. However, I am encountering this problem: after I have booted the phone up successfully for the first time, some times after that, I reboot the phone and it will try to rebuild the cache (as if I just wiped the cache) and will get stuck somewhere or enter a bootloop. when it finished (Starting app...) The only way I can get out of this is to wipe everything and start over. What's the problem here? Is it a ROM that's causing the issue? Or is it a specific app? I am honestly losing my mind because I've owned 6-7 devices and have never seen this behavior before.

[LG Watch Urbane] dwaynel:
Regarding Voice recognition of "OK Google", I'm also struggling with this. It is nowhere near as good as my LG G Watch (square) was, that worked well 90% of the time. The urbane seems to be closer to 30%, and is really annoying me. I'm an aussie too but I'm not necessarily convinced our accents are causing the issue as I swapped straight from my G Watch to the Urbane and noticed problems straight away.

Regarding the default app for heart rate (and others) - to change it go into android wear app on your phone, hit the settings icon, choose your watch (LG Watch Urbane) and there will be an option for "actions" . In the you can reassign default actions.

[LG Watch Urbane] interfreak:
Thanks for that fix mate!
[LG Watch Urbane] millerd79:
I find if you lift your arm and wait 1 second before saying "ok google" it works perfect 99.9% of the time.
[LG Watch Urbane] interfreak:
WOW you're actually right! :D
[LG Watch Urbane] krabman:
An observation of the hardware in general is that these watches are simply too bulky and much more so than they need to be in most cases. Getting the lugs up against the case on this particular watch would have made a huge difference by itself not just in reducing the bulk but the band or bracelet then fits better because it has more "grasp" area allowing for a grippier (if you will) fit for a given level of tightness. In other words the watch can grip better while being looser making it more comfortable to wear. Another... the killer feature these watches need is the ability to mimic a real watch face better and one way to get there is a convincing 3D effect for the screen. It doesn't have to be perfect and of course it couldn't be a battery killer but these smart watches need it. Right now people have some pretty nice stuff out there and I'm in no way taking a shot at some of those efforts which are outstanding work but they cant be convincing without a better screen tech.

Having these two things would move these watches from "what can it do for me" territory into wearing them because of what they can do for you but also just because you flat want to because the damn thing looks nice. Right now its a tool that I toss on the dresser as soon as I'm done with it and the few I know real world with one and most of what I read on the internet implies this is typical. They want to sell these things in a bigger way they need to make them something people wear because they want to because the use case isn't all that great for most people and I don't think having worn one for a while that this will change much because the window between utilizing the watch and it being easier to pull the phone is fairly small.

Keep in mind these are my opinions, I'm curious what other users think about the direction smart watches should be or need to be taking.
[LG Watch Urbane] suzook:
I totally disagree. Have you seen panerai? Hublot? Breitling???? They are all big. Its whats in style, and has been for years.
[LG Watch Urbane] jaythenut:
Nice to read your thoughts on it I agree with 99% of it the only thing I would like to see is with Google now be nice to take a breath as you text lol
[LG Watch Urbane] krabman:
lol Yes, I'm a watch person and own a number of them, surf the forums, etc. I'm guessing I've explained poorly. Its not the size itself so much as the needless bulk. I have several watches that have a face the same size but are quite a bit less bulky. This watch is a prime example with its needlessly large lugs and large bezel around the screen. It has confused no one as to what it is and I would never put it on in place of my real watches which I wear because I like them.

As to watch size in general a lot of people have never made friends with the large watch style, I'm among them. For me 40 to 42 mm is about right and I know a whole bunch of people with the same opinion. That is of course an opinion and I'm old enough to know that they vary and I do of agree that this style is popular right now but the trend is already reversing somewhat. Not surprising really, most people look like crap with a 48 mm saucer on their wrist because they simply are not possessed of the wrist size to put the watch into proportion.and my guess is the truly huge watches are going to continue going away bit by bit leaving the more reasonable 44ish mm sizing as the typical large watch with the larger stuff being outliers. At any rate it isn't just me, most of the reviews talk about the size issue with smart watches in general and particularly with this one where the added bulk particularly at the lugs hasn't been well received.

I take it you feel the size is fine then? You don't think that they might move more of these if they could move to a better and more convincing screen tech?
[LG Watch Urbane] suzook:
Yes, i do love the size. I actually love the screen, Im not sure what you mean? I get compliments constantly. Alot of people ask what kind of watch is that??

Speed can vary. I find just say OK Google and wait for the speak now part. Say what you want in one go, no pauses and it works 8/10.

I photographed all my watch faces on the watch to give everyone a better idea of what they look like, and created a gallery.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] millzyy:
Hi Guys,

I was running stock CM12S version: '12.0-YNG1TAS17L' which i got with the last OTA update. I believe it is the newest CM12S update.

The phone had never been unlocked or rooted previously, 100% stock from new.

I decided I wanted to unlock the Bootloader/install TWRP & Root.

I followed the One Plus One 6.0 Toolkit.

I have heard time and time again that once you unlock your Bootloader that your phone will wipe your current OS, However, this did not happen to me.

After unlocking the Bootloader and installing TWRP I rebooted and I got the Android is optimizing screen, my phone booted into my normal OS, nothing was wiped. Exactly how I had it in stock.

I assumed I screwed something up and did not unlock the Bootloader but I can confirm that running the "fastboot oem device-info" command I get the following:

...

(bootloader) Device tampered: true

(bootloader) Device unlocked: true

(bootloader) Charger screen enabled: false

(bootloader) Display panel:

OKAY [ 0.010s]

finished. total time: 0.011s

I'm a little confused, Is this a new feature in CM12S? Where you don't need to wipe to unlock bootloader/Install Recovery & Root?

Right now I have the message above showing the bootloader unlocked, SuperSU installed and working (Also checked with Root Checker, showing root access)& TWRP is working 100%

Appreciate any help.

Cheers
