[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jiggyb21:
I am pretty disappointed. I had a Z2 then Z3. IMO you haven't experienced great battery life until you've used one of these phones. It's really unbelievable. I couldn't kill it in a day, period. It's really hard going backwards. I don't care how fast a battery charges or whether it's removable, there is simply no substitute for a phone you take off charge in the morning and run all day with zero thought to the battery until you plug it in at night. For me with the G4 battery is crazy bad with screen on and almost as appalling screen off. With the Z2 and 3 if I didn't use my phone much say during the morning at work it would have 90% left at lunch time. Or even streaming Pandora all day barely touched it. Same for this phone I'm already down to 70% without using it by lunch. In this reply I've lost 6% so far. I think all the comments talking about turning off WiFi, and lower brightness etc are all BS. To me, that's not using the phone. It's not making my day and my business easier if I'm constantly worried about battery life.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swizzle82:
I've found that the avg screen time no matter what is 3-4 hours. I get 19hrs on my battery on avg and always get between 3-4 hrs of screen on time. Having that spare battery is a major help.

I miss my turbo for it had minimum 5hrs sot and over. Still getting used to this battery life on my g4
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3sl91:
Mine has gotten better after a few cycles. The screen off drain is extremely low, which makes up for screen on drain in my case.

On my Z3v, I was amazed at screen on time - but the battery would just drain at 10%/hour pretty commonly - so even though i could get 5hrs of screen on - it would still only last for a day. With the G4, I use it all day when I need to, and then after two days I need to charge it. Not to mention I got 5hrs SOT yesterday.

I wonder if anyone will develop a 4k Mah battery that fits in roughly the same size back? I've seen 6k already... but I dont need that much. Just a bump more will help.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexfoxy:
What do you count as a cycle? Mine is still crap after owning the phone for weeks.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3sl91:
Recharge cycles, letting it get low enough that It needs to shut down and then charging it back up with the stock charger.

Others have reported similar, and others have also mentioned doing a factory reset if you haven't tried that.

Overall I agree with the barely average life. Especially with this phone - I'd rather they make it .5mm thicker and put a bigger batter to allow for real all day phone use of calls, email, etc.

I tried a factory reset.. I'll try the cycle thing!
[General Questions and Answers] superboy000:
Hello everyone..

I had a Galaxy S3 with Sprint and was happy I was able to browse and talk at the same time but can't anymore because of this Sprint Spark network. I've read hand full of messages about this issue and ppl are still pissed about it. I wished Sprint would have installed 2 antennas into my recently upgraded Galaxy S5 (and other Spark phones) while they are still working out the kinks. I use data and talk all the time, especially if I'm using the GPS. And definitely because I have a side gig where I drive and use GPS and talk on the phone for dropoffs/pickups.

My question is, has anyone figured out a work around to this issue to be able to talk and use data? And I'm not talking about using WiFi.

I was thinking if there's a hack where we can physically replace the antennae with the older LTE antenna,?

If the current Spark is triband, does that mean it should still be compatible with the older LTE versions? Is there a way to disable Spark, and use the other band so we can talk and browse?

Rooting apps?

I have 1 week left before deciding to stay with Sprint, or simply just use an older phone--i suppose the Galaxy S4. Or Tmobile would be the next better affordable carrier, but too bad they don't take corporate discounts anymore.

I hope when VoLTE rolls out, it is compatble with the GS5 and I won't need to get another device and its software related on my end. I read rumours it should have been mid-2015, but now I read some other msgs late 2015, nothing official.

Any thoughts? Thanks.

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] woshiweili:
One of the main reasons I bought the Nexus Player was so I can watch videos from my network hard drive. I have been doing this in the past with my WD TV Live but it's now very slow although still does the job well.

I just got the Nexus Player today but after playing around a little I finally figured out I can access my network hard drive with ES File Explorer, although it's a little cumbersome, and load the videos there. However, the built-in media player along with Archo and MX all can not play audio from MKV files. VLC was able to play audio from MKV files but for some reason it refuse to load external subtitle files, only those built-in to the MKV file.

Anyone have any suggestions to alternatives? On my Nexus 9 I use BS Player to both access my videos on my network hard drive and watch but unfortunately it isn't available for the Nexus Player AFAIK.

Thanks in advance.

My main solution for this issue in my house is to install Plex on my server and pay for the 5 bucks for the Plex app on the TV.

Also after you do this you can set an external player (like MX player) to be the player instead of Plex.

MX has been playing MKV files for me after You turn on hardware+ encoder.

I'm probably old fashioned, but there are stuff I just prefer doing from my PC, rather than from my mobile.

I read that Samsung Kies no longer works with the S6 (Replaced by Smart Switch), but i'm wondering if there's a 3rd party software that lets me control my S6 from a Desktop PC ?

I have a G2 LS980 (sprint) for which I incorrectly flashed LGD800 (att) firmware. The phone does not boot past a "security error" screen and will not enter recovery mode. I can get it into download mode.

The firmware files can be found at storagecow.eu/index.php?dir=Xda%2FLG+G2%2FStock%2F

It looks like someone was able to fix the issue here at http://xdaforums.com/sprint-g2/help/solution-flashed-wrong-firmware-lg-g2-t3056632

I need some help to do what he did (couple months ago)

I now have the correct firmware (Sprint) that the phone does not accept since the phone thinks its the ATT model

As explained in the linked thread, I need either DLL file to not check the phones version or label the TOT file as the ATT version firmware so the phone accepts it

When I try to load my TOT file into my hex editor, I get a "insufficient memory" error (the TOT file is ~3GB), not to mention I have no idea how to use a hex editor.

Where could I get a "generic no-check DLL file" that the linked poster mentioned? How can I edit the TOT file?

Is it possible to install, this ROM with the contents ?

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shri080:
Well i am calling it a possible fix as i am still testing it. I am talking about the full brightness issue that many others are facing too. The issue was the brightness would still vary automatically depending on the ambient light even when the auto brightness was switched off. So when you are in a dark room even if you wanted you could not turn the brightness to 100%. Initially when i just bought the phone for few days i felt the screen looked a little less brighter compared to how it looked in the showroom, so when i searched for it found out that so many of them out there have the same issue. You can just test it by switching off the auto brightness and keeping the brightness to 100% in a dark room and when you project a flash light or some light source on the sensor next to the ear piece the screen would get brighter and when you take off that light the screen would again become a little dimmer. I for a second thought it could be some kind of feature as well. But what ever that was i dint like it as could not pump up the brightness in a dark room to its full capacity even if i wanted it. And thats such a shame for such a beautiful display.

So i first wanted to flash some custom ROMs and see if that makes any difference. First i flashed a custom rom from the S6E android development section but the issue still persisted and after a day's observation i again flashed a ROM today from the s-6--s-6-edge-unified-development thread and after flashing the ROM i went in to settings-accessibility-vision-colour adjustment and switched it on, since then the brightness varied just once right after the colour adjustment was switched on but now i am continuously able to pop up the brightness to 100% even in the low light area and seems like the issue has been fixed !! :D:D I have been observing it for the last 3 to 4 hours.

So who ever has this issue can try this out and let me know if it worked. I would not say the ROM installation is a must, first try turning on the colour adjustment under settings-accessibility-vision-colour adjustment and if it doesnt work then try flashing the ROM and again doing the colour adjustment and let me know if it worked for you !! But after what ever changes you make do a reboot and give it an hour or so.

EDIT : As i was still testing it unfortunately the bug showed up again so i finally decided to flash an S6 ROM ( Not S6 edge) on to my S6E and to my surprise the issue was solved !! Now i can confirm that its just a software bug and hopefully samsung will fix it !! If any one wants to try flashing a flat S6 ROM let me know i will leave a link here with the kernel to be flashed. Hopefully this helped !! :)

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyknight77:
I'm surprise so many people still recommend Lux app when it is useless for this issue. The issue is that the phone always has some autobrightness turned on even when we set it to be off. Even when you set Max brightness in Lux app, it's still only Max what the phone will do without Lux. Therefore, for those that want super bright all the time, Lux is useless.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercuryzzz:
Let's say that it is a really annoying issue in darken places because the brightness is too low. Try to compare the s6 edge with any other phone (s6 flat for example) and you will see how the issue is annoying! It is surely not a feature because the s6 flat doesn't do that. Moreover samsung admitted it is an issue (I have spoken with them several times), the funny thing is that after 2 months it is not solved yet.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oliv3:
What? That's not the problem OP is talking about? Brightness too low in dark places? No one has this problem, and if they did, a 3rd party app like lux would have fixed the issue.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nyknight77:
Lux does not fix the issue. Many tried. I tried. I set Max brightness using Lux and its not as bright as it could be. You could try for yourself, turn off auto brightness, manually set Max brightness in both settings and Lux, go to a dark place and shine a flashlight on the light sensor. Screen will become brighter.

Then you'll understand that Max brightness does not work with setting and with Lux. Then you'll be enlightened... but then you can also choose not to try this and go on with your life as ignorance is bliss. When something doesn't work, most people call it a bug while some people choose to call it a feature :)

I thought the extra boost to brightness was a feature and helped battery?

Set to a certain maximum, on bright light situations (outside in sunlight, maglight on sensor) the display will boost to an unnatural brightness to aid visibility. On return to inside light levels the phone returns to normal.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercuryzzz:
It's not a feature its a bug. Every s6 edge has this issue . Maybe not everyone realized as you for example but it's for all s6 edge.

You can see it clearly comparing in a dark place a s6 flat and a s6 edge. The flat is way brighter than the edge so this is clearly a bug
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chilly64:
Impractical? I always thought being able to control my screens brightness was fairly practical!

Surely the point of manual brightness is to be able to control it manually?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krolla03:
I also think this is more of a "feature" then a bug.

It originally was a bug before the maintenance update because the screen would not dim to 50% brightness before timing out completely. Unless the screen was in the (what im calling) super bright mode.

Since the maintenance update the screen will now dim to 50% before timing out altogether.

But we still see the screen go into super bright mode in very well lit areas (ie direct sun) When i look at the screen in this mode though i notice the colors dont look real. Which leads me to believe that this is more of a feature to ramp up the screens brightness when you are in situations that might make the screen hard to see (ie direct sunlight)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercuryzzz:
The behavior of the s6 flat in direct sun is the same as the s6 flat so it's surely a feature. But in dark areas, setting the brightness in manual, at max brightness, the brightness of the s6 edge still dims when compared to the s6 flat and this is a bug (confirmed by samsung, I have the emails). Basically even in manual the light sensor of the s6 edge is reacting to the decrease of light, to see it just put a finger on the sensor to simulate a dark room and you will notice it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shri080:
Guys as i had mentioned earlier that it could have been a possible fix and unfortunately it started showing up again. But this time as some one had mentioned in a post i flashed an S6 ROM ( Just S6 ROM SM G920F and not S6 edge ROM) followed by an S6 edge Kernel and now i can confirm that its just a software bug ( I too for sometime thought it was a feature). Now after i flashed the S6 ROM the brightness just stayed the same when the auto brightness was turned off. If you guys want to try let me know i will leave a link to the S6 ROM i tried in the OP. Lets hope samsung fixes this issue as i love using the screen at full brightness many a times even in a relatively low lit situations. But its a big sign of relief for me to have known that its just a software bug !! :)
