NO HELP FROM VERIZON "TECH SUPPORT" OR "WARRANTY" having spent 3 hours on tech support with Verizon...

Our Samsung GS6 failed Saturday (USB won't connect to any laptops using any cables) and I spent Sunday doing Verizon's online fixes (including safe mode, factory reset, Kies, etc.) and 3 hours with Verizon tech support this morning with no resolution.

Verizon is calling Samsung and "will get back with me later this week" if and when they find or make sense of other field failures that match my phone. (Really? And how would Zappos, Amazon and other customer service benchmarks handle it? Yep, overnight a new one after 5 min call and issue RMA for the defective item to be overnighted for tear-down / fault analysis). And by the way, my wife and I are paying for "next day" replacement and within the 14-day trial period...

So one would think Verizon would overnight ship a new GS6 out to me immediately and have me ship the defective GS6 to Samsung for tear-down analysis.

That's not the case. How Verizon is handling this frankly has us spooked that Verizon does not in fact stand behind either their products or "warranty" services.

I'd hope that our 14-day return-policy time-clock be reset and a new GS6 black 128GB be overnighted to me, or find some way of extending the return window (since the device, and its "warranty" and the customer "service" have

all failed within 2 days of receiving the phone

).

Think I'm going to be stuck with the LG G4 or maybe even swapping carriers.

Go to a store. If they can't do anything ask for a refund.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jimbobtexas:
It's not a work/corporate PC, is it? I had a similar issue, and turns out that USB storage devices were disabled by Windows policy.

Have you tried to use ADB with the phone? If you install ADB drivers, you could verify that you can at least connect...

VZN and Samsung tech support / customer service FTL

One of my laptops is personal Win 8.1, the other is corporate Win 7. Neither laptop recognized the Samsung GS6 after day 2, but worked flawlessly up until that time.

Still nothing back from Tech Support / Samsung "researching" the problem. Total WTF with those yaboes.

Monday I engaged the team who originally sold us the GS6 at our local store, and they're saying my new phone (replacement) will be in the store by Sat 6/27. 5+ days without a phone, but if this replacement doesn't suffer any issues, great.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DHS1:
Hello,

I have a rooted Verizon Samsung Galaxy S5 that I primarily use, along with other iOS and Android devices that people close to me use. They are all my devices, and sometimes I want to check to see where the devices is located, be it one of my iOS devices or an Android device. I am looking for an app (paid or free, it doesn't matter to me as long as it works!) that allows you to find iOS devices (by entering the iCloud account) and also allows you to find your android devices (by entering the google account associated with the device).

I have all of these devices below,

all assigned to different iCloud accounts, and Google accounts

than my Galaxy S5 phone:

iPad Retina Display (assigned to iClound account "ABC@gmail.com")

iPhone 6 (assigned to iClound account "DEF@gmail.com")

Samsung Galaxy S3 (assigned to Google account "GHI@gmail.com")

Rooted Samsung Galaxy S5 (assigned to Google account "JKL@gmail.com")

Rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 10.1 Tablet (assigned to Google account "MNO@gmail.com")

HTC One M8 (assigned to Google account "PQR@gmail.com")

I was wondering if there was an Android app that I could install on my rooted Galaxy S5 to allow me to enter and save all the above account credentials, and when I want to locate a device (and make it ring, or freeze it, etc), I can open the app, select the account, and have it find it.

Currently the only way I can manage these is by using Android Device Manager and using the Guest option to log in to find the other Google Account's Devices, and opening a separate app on my Galaxy S5 to find where my iOS devices are (and I have to log in, typing the full iCloud email and password each time - no options to store).

I found one app that was SO close to what I want - from the Play store (I can't link it - don't have enough posts) called "Find My Phone, xFi Locator Pro". It allows me to store multiple iOS iCloud accounts and find them whenever I want, and it also lets you find Android devices too. But for some reason, the developers decided to make it so you have to install this app - xFi Endpoint- on each Android device you want to be able to locate. So for Android, it doesn't let you log in with a google account, it makes you log in with the google email address, and a PIN set up from that xFi Endpoint app. This is quoted from the "xFi Locator Pro" description:

So that app is not what I want. I am wondering if there even is such an app. If there isn't, I think I will try to make my own. But I can't believe there isn't an app out there already. Maybe it's not possible to make because of some restriction by Google? I don't know.

Does anyone know of a solution for me?

Thank you very much for reading and for any help.

OK, this is strange. On my tl09 i suddenly notice a red dot, a little light.

Next to the speaker top centre there is a black circle, the camera/flash. To the left there is an oval. In the left corner there is the red light, round.

Is this normal? What is it?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blitzkriegger:
Is the red light you are referring to different from the notification light?
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dekraan:
Yep. It is just a very faint red dot. Sometimes it seems to light up a bit, but that could be my imagination. What does that left 'opening' do? Strangest thing is that I dont know if it was there before. I did undate to lollipop recently.
[Ascend Mate 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dekraan:
Update: the little light was a light as it shut off when I just powered down my phone. When I started it up again, the light went on for about a second at the last huawei logo, but then it shut down again. So it is gone now. Could anyone check if they see a faint red dot/light when booting?

im newbie

how to transfer files from pc to ppc and vv through wifi?:D :D
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] emay:
I use totalcommander on both the pocketpc and the pc. If memory serves me right, you would need a plugin on the PC, but you can find that on www.totalcmd.com

Oops, when you use totalcommander at the PC, you would need a activesync connection. the pocket pc version supports both activesync and wireless.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] levenum:
There is no way to see PPC files on PC without ActiveSync because it does not have the necessary server components, but for PPC to PC total commander is definitely the way to got (you would only need it on the PPC).
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Si607:
use this its great.

[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
Hi, and welcome to XDA! :cowboy:

My guess is that the custom ROM decided to go haywire. You could do a factory reset (I have a guide in my signature link - follow "Something" - on how to reset with custom ROM, which includes reflashing GApps), that may solve the issue, but you will lose your app settings in the process (just be sure to do a backup while in recovery before wiping anything).

If that doesn't work, try a different ROM. This device has dozens, with a couple fairly recent (read: Kitkat) offerings. You can find them in the Development section.

If still no go, you may have a hardware issue, and our support would sadly be out of scope.

Let me know if you need clarification on any of this, I am happy to help out here, if you are willing to get your hands dirty. :D Also, feel free to browse/search this forum (and development) for any other questions you may have as well (replies can take a while ;) ).

Hope this helps.
[T-Mobile myTouch 4G Slide] OfficerJimLahey:
If you can, try the stock ROM. Download the PG159IMG.zip file (or whatever it is called, rename it to PG159IMG.zip on your MicroSD, and let the bootloader do it's thing).

Interesting that MikTouch failed, but looks like you are having difficulties with a few ROMs that should otherwise install and start no problem.

Another ROM to try first (if your SD slot can handle it - since that's what it sounds like) is TBalden's CM10.1. That would be the one I have had the best of luck with.

All the best :cowboy:

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theblizzard2010:
I have an issue with the proximity sensor on a LG G4 H810 (AT&T).

Out of a batch of 5 devices, all using the same Verizon branded tempered glass screen protectors (on AT&T devices), one of them refuses to work with the glass protector installed.

It's crystal clear, but when its on there and you dial a number, the screen immediately turns off (black), and you cannot force it back unless the call is ended by the other person.

Taking the glass screen protector off, immediately resolves the issue. So i know this proximity sensor must be out of whack.

Any way to re calibrate that bugger?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] player911:
The glass is reflecting back. The proximity sensor should not be covered up.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cym1124:
To re-calibrate proximity sensor in LG G4.

This issue can be solved by re-calibration proximity sensor, you still can use screen protector with sensor covered up.

Mine is H815.

Follow steps below to re-calibrate proximity sensor(must with the glass protector is installed and which is sensor covered up)

1. TYPE "277634#*#" in phone dialer. Hidden Menu screen will show up.

2. Select "Device Test"->"MT", it will show "system will be restarted", then choose OK.

3. After reboot, GENESIS MiniOS 3.1 screen will show up, press "individual item+power" while power button is pressed.

4. Next, find "sensor test", enter it(do not block the proximity sensor), the proximity sensor will be automatically calibrated. Then block proximity sensor two times to exit.

5. Find "Back to the MainList", enter.

6. Press "Normal boot+power" while power butten is pressed to reboot system, done.

Now the problem should be solved.

Sorry for my typo, “277364#*#” should be corrected as “277634#*#” to enter hidden menu.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vivekiny2k:
Thanks, I got to hidden menu but I don't see device test. Could be disabled by tmobile.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spookymyo:
The proximity sensor uses infrared (IR). IR doesn't go through glass. So probably no way to fix it other than getting a glass cutter and removing that section of glass.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crisra:
is there a way to do this on verizon model?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cym1124:
The proximity sensor can be re-calibrated.

Dont forget the phone screen is also covered with glass.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spookymyo:
I know it can be recalibrated. I've done it on mine. I was just referring to the glass screen protector. The normal screen is directly touching the proximity sensor the glass screen protector isn't. It's a problem that's been mentioned before with the glass screen protectors that don't have a cut out for the proximity sensor.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahper1:
Thanks man, re-calibration of proximity sensor solved the problem...kudos...I have the same model, problem started after putting tempered glass protector.

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myphonesbetter:
[MENTION=986309]cym1124[/MENTION] Pease add this code to your original post.

Just thought I would add a little to this thread since it is the first one that pops up during a google search and a LG representative just gave me instructions from it word for word. Even the typo (unless theres a typo in the manual or something).

I don't know why, but that code (277634) doesn't work on my phone. I think It may be an earlier beta or something.

Its att but it had an early software on it, 810 09e.

Here is the one that works. *#546368#*810# , I would assume that you could replace the 810 with whatever your model number is.

The code I found actually had 815 at the end.

I found this code at the bottom of the comments on a youtube video. So thanks to whoever that person is.

The second problem I had was I could not get into MT mode. Whenever it prompted me to restart, I chose ok and it did nothing.

Im not sure why it would work, but I just tried it about 5 times in a row finally (after 2 weeks of trying other soloutions) and it finally booted into genesis.

After that the normal instructions worked.

Side note. Apparently the software for 810 09e might not have its qfuse blown. meaning it could've been the only ATT phone g4 with an unlockable bootloader. But I thought that an update would fix my proximity issue. WORNG. well now we'll never know.

Anyways hope this helps someone out there. Even you LG tech reps.

I had the same issue as a bunch of people: could not calibrate as it would fail right at the beginning. It persisted even after I removed the screen protector (I had previously had the screen replaced). I was able to get it to calibrate by backing out of the Individual Menu (in other words, go back to the beginning), go into the Optional Menu, and set the proximity limit to 860 (or whatever the largest limit is). I was then able to calibrate no problem. I am now able to end calls without taking my battery out or leaving a 5 minute long blank voicemail message.

Hey guys, I've just sold my OnePlus One due to cr*p support and updates (I was getting like 7h SOT when it was running KK, after lollipop update I used to get 4h sot) and now I'm looking for a new device. I have ~400€ budged and I found M8 and Z3 at almost the same price.

Which is better? Which do you prefer and why? I need users opinion in their daily usage, I know the specs of both phone and I know that HTC has a crappy camera and lower battery.

I think I'll send the phone back to HTC/Sony to change the battery every year and I need the phone to last for about 2 years.

My usage:

-I mainly use the front camera, if I need to take serious photos I bring my reflex with me

-Social

-Email.. email email email

-Music (spotify with headphones and rarely through the speakers)

-I want the gold/rame colour (not necessary but preferred)

-Sometimes heavy gaming (me and my mates play Real Racing 3 online)

-I need the battery to last the whole day (I can't freeze app like whatsapp and email, I need them also in energy save mode)

Can you help me, please? If you know other devices in my budged range please name them (no iphone, screen so small and iphone 6 is out of range and I wouldn't be able to deny facebook to access my position. and no windows phone, had htc 8s for about 1 week and the instantly sold... too close system)

I forgot: I don't really need custom roms... Just xposed and root (for eq.).

PPS: is Htc m8s good as m8? It has camera and battery upgraded.
