[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnod11:
So I just recieved a pretty sweet present, my brother in law got a new ipad for his birthday and has chosen to give me his old Kindle Fire HD that has some issues.

It was previously rooted, but in an attempt to unroot it, he slightly messed up the kindle's top bar.

The device functions very well for performance, but although all the google aspects are gone off the device from what I can tell, the bar at the top continuously disappears for up to a couple minutes at a time. I'm not sure what kind of root he used back then or how he got rid of it, but I do see SuperSU still installed along with ES File Explorer.

I currently am charging the device and its at 30% since I just got it this morning, but any suggestions would be greatly greatly appreciated!!

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fifteen20:
I've had my phone for less than 2 months and some small white patches have appeared on the screen. It's as though the battery is pushing the back of the screen. They're only visible when there's a white background. Does anyone else have this or know a fix? I'm guessing it's a hardware problem so I'll have to go through Huawei's exchange procedure which I'm not looking forward to.

Attached is a picture of the problem, although it's not my phone.

I have this issue too, is not a really big deal but is very annoing in a high class phone...
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jopomopo:
Same here. A bit annoying and largely visible on a white background. I'm starting to think that this phone is not a high class phone other that the price. Too many faults starting to occur...
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonotny:
Me too! I thought the screen might have received some pressure when the phone was in my bag.

I got mine if a seller on buisness seller on eBay that does say 1yr seller warrenty. I've emailed them awaiting reply. In the mean time I rang huawei and they won't repair it they said its a Asia device not UK which I'm a bit confused as my device was sealed with a 3 pin uk plug so I presumed it will have UK warrenty. Well I think I'll cut my loses and sell it soon with or without repairing it and go for a device with better warranty support.

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jopomopo:
Got a reply (emailed them yesterday with picture of the white spots) from local Huawei service about the white marks and it seems that they will fix the screen within the warranty. I'll take the phone there tomorrow...but as usual it will take week or so to come back... so fingers crossed
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Killerdog:
Hi,

I face the same problem on my Mate 7 on end of december (i have it in the begenning of november) send it to repair (4 weeks) it change the phone completly (it also stuck at bootloader).

Two month after this the same problem happen again, I send it again (4 weeks) this time he have change the screen only.

I think the size of the screen (and surely the building quality of this phone) make it really sensitive to light pressure (in a pocket etc...).

I cross fingers to don't have this problem again.

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vimto25:
Not a great deal, bit quicker, much better camera, better build , very slim, nicer screen, 3gb ram standard, I love my p8 its size is nice but if they could just sqeeze in a 5.5" not 5.2 it would be 10/10 from me but instead its a 8/10 as battery isn't too great

Second HAM7 with the same white patch problem...
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonotny:
Mine started with one small white speck a couple of weeks after I got it, now it's several vertical stripes running down about 50% of the screen. Luckily, I just got an invite to buy the OnePlus 2, so I'm gonna order one and use it while my Mate 7 is off for repair under warranty, and once it comes back I'll decide which phone to keep and which to sell.

[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayzha:
Just using my mate 7 around 1 week.. I notice my right side of screen are much brighter than the left side.. Is it the same problem as the white patch problem? Or is it because backlight problem?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vonotny:
So I made a lucky catch and snagged a OnePlus 2 off eBay for a VERY good price (much less than directly from OnePlus) and I'm already in love with the phone. The battery lasts nowhere as long as the Mate 7's, but then again the system is almost stock and EVERYTHING WORKS AS IT SHOULD! THIS IS AMAZING! /end sarcasm

Anyway, my Mate 7 will go to service in order to get the screen fixed, and after that I'll get rid of it.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Huaweivirgin:
I have purchased a Huawei P8 and have found a white patch on the bottom-left hand side of the screen. Are any other P8 owners finding this fault? It was apparent after the first time that I had tuned it on. I have had it for a week or so now. I have a 24 hour VIP handset exchange warranty, so I'm not worried about having to wait weeks. Not many examples of this fault for the P8 elsewhere. Thanks for any responses.

Or you can take it to service where they fix it for under warranty because it's manufacturing fault...
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tazmaniiac:
do they only fix the screen or replace the whole device?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Taher.rafat.56@gmail.com:
I had a ASCEND MATE 7 for a while and after about two months got wild white patches on screen, sold it by the way and bought a new one. This new one even had brighter patches from the beginning!

Got this one replaced with MATE 8 by the warranty (yeah, they gave me the MATE 8 instead for whatever the reason!)

I'm now useing it for about 2 and half months and again I got white patches almost in middle and bottom of the screen! What the hell !?

I think this is the problem with internal batteries, as they are poor quality and after some time of use the battery's pressing against the back of the LCD ... and the whites appear

We should definitely blame Huawei for this

It's maybe because of poor quality made IPS-NEO screens used in mate series .. anyway Huawei MUST answer
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tazmaniiac:
It's not a Huawei problem, it's a problem for many many different devices, I had white patches on all my phones yet (HTC One X+, Xperia T, LG G2). Every device has it's flaws, e.g. Galaxy S8 with the burned out nav bar, iPhone with the bend or antenna gate etc. In this case it's the price you pay for a huge battery in a compact device.

[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Soewie:
Well, as you may have noticed I've found those threads, but I saw that the most of the thread is regarding HERMES.

I was wondering if anyone with an Artemis has been able to turn on VOIP (native voip)

I did manage to install the package as mentioned in the threads above, as well as put in the right config files. Also, the "Internet Calling: Available" today plugin is correctly displayed. However, I cannot switch dial pads and I don't get the correct status (connected).
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] BlueD:
Same problem here :(

Setup was done with Sip Config Tool 2.0.1

The plugin is configured : "Always, if available"

When connected by wlan or activesync the plugin displays : "Kein Empfang"

Disconnected from network displays : "Available"

Hopefully someone can help me
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] ricky200:
Guys I've got it working just fine on an xda orbit. There does seem to be a little bug though and that is when it's says "Searching" and "Available" on the today screen. Available actually means searching and searching means available :)

When searching is displayed, click on it in the today screen and you might notice a slight change in the signal which means it has switched to voip rather than gsm. Go to the phone screen and you'll see that the network has changed to your voip provider and any call you make will be routed through them.

I have downloaded sjphone yesterday and configured it to use my sip voip provider and it works brilliantly. The sound quality in sjphone is absolutely brilliant compared to the native voip, you should try it.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] BlueD:
Finally it's working...

I tried to deinstall the plugin and after prompting an error it worked :P

The homescreen plug signals "searching" but as you said before it means "availabe". There are still a couple of things:

1) no incomming calls... i can't find the stun settings

2) +4930xxxxxx format doesn't work, i've to type 030xxxx

3) doesn't work after standby

Which version of sjphone are you using? There seems to be nothing available for wm 6
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] ricky200:
Hi BlueD,

I'm glad it's working for you. I tested incoming calls and that worked nicely as well without configuring any stun. The voip I used were sipgate and callcentric.

There's a post somewhere on one of the big voip threads and the guys managed to customize the dialing plans so that you can dial without using the international format. Do a quick search on voip dialing plan and you should find it somewhere.

Well obviously it doesn't cause the wifi disconnects, hence making it only useful for dialing out rather than receiving calls, except ofcourse if you want to leave the device on all the time, but that's not a very feasible solution.

The sjphone I downloaded was the one for v.1.60.303c Pocket PC 2003SE, it works nicely with excellent call quality. I also think you don't really need native voip capabilities to run that, which makes me think we could have had this on WM5 hmmm...
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Soewie:
OK.. just fyi - i got a little bit more success in using the native VOIP solution. I had to flash from the WWE 6 to the BnB 2 ROM, then install the VOIP.cab and SipConfigTool. Now i can receive calls, but cannot place any... not sure why. Also, when i receive a call the sound is CRAP.. probably some codec issue here.
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] epmulligan:
What type of internet connection have you?

Have you open ports on your router necessary for SIP, inbound and out?
[P3300, MDA Compact III ROM Development] Soewie:
Yep I did. I got this confirmed by testing it with a softphone on my PC, which works great (same voip provider etc).
[G4 General] teknoflipp:
Still decided which one. Everyone has a Samsung I want to have something different
[G4 General] fatboypup:
Removable battery, removable storage, camera.
[G4 General] mikec86:
There is no getting around being tethered to a charger, so while your buddy's S6 is stuck to a wall outlet just pop in your freshly charged FREE battery from LG and take off. Oh yeah expandable SD is nice too.
[G4 General] lovec 1990:
plus G4 is also cheaper than S6
[G4 General] TheBiles:
The battery and external storage completely nullify any advantages the S6 has in my book.
[G4 General] NisseGurra:
Developer support, as the enyxosplatform on the S6 is very hard to work with, and G4 has an unlocked bootloader, the lifetime for G4 will be much longer.
[G4 General] AhsanU:
Ergonomics (back button placement is the best imo, keeps the phone looking sleek), thin bezels, expandable storage, removable back and battery, better camera, cheaper, double tap to wake.

Reasons to get the S6: build quality, fingerprint scanner (not the best, but it still works most of the time), health and fitness (bio metric scanners), screen size is more fitting for most people.

There are plenty of reasons not to get the S6, but what did it for me is the fact that there is no expandable storage. The navigation buttons are annoying too. You have to stick to the multitasking button on the left, and the back button on the right (relative to where the home button is). I could honestly never get used to that.
[G4 General] nismo929:
No doubt the s6 is nice, but like you I was looking for something different. Last three phones were sammy, Couldn't decide between G4 and note 4. Got so impatient for a new phone I almost bought the Not 4....instead I got the G4 and have absolutely NO regrets.

Camera....enough said already about it. Check out sample thread.

Personally love the glass buttons as opposed to the physical button, didn't think something so small would be nice.

Knock code is extremely under rated. I double tap all phone screens now and miss it when using the gf phone. I prefer it to a finger scanner.

No touch wiz!! That has to count for double points.

Lg interface isn't something that will blow you away. But I appreciate its simplicity.

Battery is great as mentioned above. Does take minor disabling to get that extra mile.

Only thing you would really have to consider is the size..it is significantly bigger.

S6 has some nice features like finger print scanner, and heart rate monitor, but unless you are a sport nut...you probably won't use the latter much.

Just my two cents.....

Either way..happy shopping. Let us know what you choose.

[G4 General] barondebxl:
Actually the G4 does not have an unlocked bootloader, the S6 does. The G4 has an unlockable bootloader but not all variants. Every international S6`s bootloaders are unlocked by default.

The removable battery is the major feature the G4 has over the S6 in my opinion. Also i love the buttons on the back, they are out of the way and i can squeeze the sides as much as i want during ganing or watching videos without worrying about anything.
[G4 General] Snakecharmed:
It seems like such a great feature that one could make a commercial out of it. Like this one, for example:

[YOUTUBE]SlelbGtPEdU[/YOUTUBE]
[G4 General] barondebxl:
LG should make a commercial against the S6 for that, it should be very interesting.
[G4 General] Hanozy:
As mentioned, pop a fresh new battery when you don't have a charger at your disposal. Not only that but the double tap to wake is underrated and I love it. The leather back is really great too, a lot of people have asked what cover I'm using and they think it's really cool that it's part of the phone. I really love the camera too, now I can't speak for the S6 but the camera on the G4 is really great, the front camera too!
[G4 General] PunishedSnake:
Removable battery

Sd card

Better ram management

Better camera

Doesnt overheat

Cheaper

Bigger screen yet still smallish device

Can have more than 2 things open at once

Can actually multitask

Better battery life

Did i mention ram management is good?
[G4 General] Chyeo1979:
For me is the bigger screen, on-screen soft buttons and double tap to wake... plus the gorgeous leather back. (front part of G4 looks like crap though)
[G4 General] Dennisg34:
I think what he meant was the G4 has the potential to be unlocked by any carrier (as all previous ones have been). If you're like me and on Verizon (or others on AT&T) you will NOT get an unlocked BL. Samsung hasn't had an unlocked BL since the S4.
[G4 General] rjayflo:
Unlocked BL is a no-no with Att and Verizon. I bought my S6 from Tmobile to use on Att
[G4 General] eliteconcept:
for me its these

1) No physical "home" button

2) rear power button

3) SD card slot

4) removable back

5) camera
[G4 General] adichandra:
Removable battery is infinity battery. Turn every thing on and worry about life problem, not battery problem anymore.
[G4 General] Gzan23:
My top 10 in order of importance:

1. Standby - much better than my S6E

2. Double tap to wake/sleep

3. Tan Leather back

4. Changeable backs - Never get bored without adding a bulky case

5. SD Card

6. Promo for 2 free SD cards and a free battery & cradle

7. Curve - it's subtle yet helps the feel

8. LG - I've had great luck with LG in Nexus 4 and Nexus 5

9. Manual camera + raw

10. Size - bigger screen than S6 but overall doesn't feel much bigger

I have a buddy who just ordered a galaxy s4 and what he is most interested in is getting his tethering to work without limits, or getting charged extra. He plans to connect it on metro pcs. I'm on T Mo and I don't have an s4. I've had one b4 tho and I'm quite familiar with Odin. First question is: are there different root methods to use for different versions of android (ie kit kat vs LP) or will odin work for either? And question 2: given that he is on metro pcs, can his hope for tethering become a reality? I believe metro uses t mo service, correct?

Thanks in advance!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] serio22:
1) While Odin is not a root method, it will work with kitkat and lollipop, but lollipop hasn't been released for T-Mobile or metropcs so the popular root methods to choose from are cf-auto-root or towelroot. You can read on them and their pros and cons in other threads.

2) Yes. And correct, but carrier doesn't matter much
