Just in case you missed, the builtin percentage (settings - battery - show %) is there. But it is not inside the icon though.

Volume Increase

Any way to increase the volume steps so that the audio is louder? I have the volume all the way up and sometimes I can't really hear what I'm listening to unless I hold the speaker to my ear or wear headphones. I was using an xposed module to do this, but until xposed becomes available is there anything that works to increase the volume so its louder? The xposed mod I was using is called Volumesteps+ and can be found at http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.p1ngu1n.volumesteps . any help would be appreciated.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ScoobSTi:
I'm not sure how to install it on our new update, but I was using Viper4Android before the update. It is capable of making the volume even louder/quieter.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
I tried it when I had 4.3 and couldn't really tell any difference. I tried it again this morning with not much luck either. It just doesn't seem louder than what normal volume would be. I know its not going to be extremely loud. I just want something that I don't have to hold the phone to my ear to hear what they're saying. Also with viper it hasn't been setup for 5.1 yet only 5.0.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] ArkAngel06:
On my nexus 5(which also had a horrible speaker), you could edit the mixer_paths.xml to boost the volume. I tried it on my Mate2, and couldn't really notice a difference.

After installing busybox, the viper4 driver, and disabling the LPA setting it recommends to, I can say Viper makes a noticeable difference for me. Probably about 25-30% louder.

Make sure you Enable the master switch at the top for speaker, and the "eXtra loud" setting at the bottom, and put Effect strength on Extreme.

Edit: Added my method to original post, with links.

i have a lg g vista and it will not update to android 5.0 i rooted it and tried everything i could find to get rid of it and it still says it wont update because the device is suspected of rooting. i even tried to flash the stock rom (4.4.2) and i couldnt seem to get it to work right. i lost everything on my phone in the process and got nothing out of it. please help me!!

Hi there,

Does not look there is a LG G Vista forum.

There is a [Ask Any Question][Newbie Friendly] thread in the > Android Development and Hacking > Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum that should have someone able to help out (there may be what's called a "kmz" package that you could load in download mode that will bring the device back to factory state).

Good luck

Hey! How long will you stay with the S6/edge?

If you will change it in the next few months, why? :p
[Galaxy S6 General] HSNP:
Hi!

I had S4 for 2 years and I think will keep my S6 for 2 years as well ?
[Galaxy S6 General] Gilg@mesh:
until S7 arrive, I replace every year, I get my phones for free anway.
[Galaxy S6 General] pahardie:
Probably until the next nexus, assuming it's 'normal sized' ie not like the n6 and good ie not like the n6 :)

I moved to the s6 from my trusty nexus4 and really miss stock android. Yes the camera and app is better on the s6 and the finger print reader is ace... But the whole software experience from all the bloat to the aggressive memory management is annoying.

I also like having new updates quick and playing with developer previews and custom ROMs. Both very scarce on the s6. I also resent Knox and having to work around it or trip it to obtain root.

So prob about 8 months I think me and my s6 will be together :)
[Galaxy S6 General] Shocky2:
I don't know, depends what the competition releases in the next 6 months.

It will be something that doesn't use snapdragon 808/810, that's pretty much all I can see for certain.
[Galaxy S6 General] Roman5:
I only just upgraded from the S2 which I used for 4 years and nothing between even though I could have upgraded much sooner at almost no extra cost. So, quite likely till 2019 unless I get really bored with it :p
[Galaxy S6 General] Itaintrite:
I'm not the guy who swaps his phone every time there's a new flagship in town, but I am the guy who gets a new phone every year or so. I always go for the phone with best camera, and doesn't look like the one I currently use. Don't think I'll go with Samsung again though. Love my S6 Edge, but the laggy software is killing me.
[Galaxy S6 General] rp3:
I am one who swaps phones often. I have a S6 Edge for two weeks now, which replaced a Xperia Z3 Compact, which replaced a Nexus 5, which replaced a LG G2. I will likely swap when a phone sized between the Z3C and S6e (which is bigger than the G2) is released with flagship level specs. That could be the Nexus 5, it could be a Z4c, it could even be a LG G4 downsized. It could even be a downsized S6. It most likely will be the next Nexus 5.

two years. Usually odd numbers galaxies are crap, so my next one will be the s8
[Galaxy S6 General] NIK516:
Honestly if htc bring out a great m10 I'll switch to it. Reasons are:

* the speaker on the S6 is so crap and distorts and vibrates .

* my screen has cracked at some point don't know how but it did and no sign of a drop anywhere?

* the edge uncomfortable at times.

* the camera does not have any shutter speed control , I know 5.1 but the will only be half a second .

Things I will miss:

* the camera is really nice on auto

* the themes are great.

* amoled screen is the best hands down.

I change phones once a year so this is normal for me.

And yes I will be talking to samsung about the crack and speaker also the phone freezes and stutters sometimes .
[Galaxy S6 General] Jonathan-H:
For the first time ever i'll probably keep it till it dies or they bring out an identical phone with twice bigger battery and waterproofing in the same footprint. There's no better phone right now and anyone complaining of camera or lag has no clue.

This should of been a poll :D

Its the best phone by far right now, i have the s6 edge and it looks amazing, fastest cpu to date, 1440p resolution with great colours and amazing camera, i hate knox i think this is a major turndown for me..i had the s3 before and i changed roms pretty often and was smooth as hell, i dropped it on the floor and the screen was broken so i got the s6 edge...but there only few roms for the s6 edge and really not even worth flashing them...i wish a cyanogenmode will come for the s6 so we would have alot of roms to choose...
[Galaxy S6 General] istperson:
Not very soon, I'm afraid. Not many developers are willing to spend months trying to reverse engineer Samsung's closed source, or intentionally unreadable kernel source tarballs to have a phone you almost can use as a daily driver. Even on my Note 3 it took them almost a year to make a practically flawless cm11 and cm12, and that's a Qualcomm device.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
I just bought Z5 Compact for cheap but currently no plan to sell S6, two 2015 flagships now got double battery life and enough for one full day heavy usage without charging.

I also want to taste out Samsung Android 6.0 to check if they are willing to implement RAW and manual shutter on stock camera. I may or may not sell out one but until both up to Marshmallow to search any goodies.

[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
I'm still in the testing/playing phase, S6 likes a semi-finished product, we don't know yet would Samsung like to take care of all problems bcoz Note5 is coming.

I will wait until Sony E5663(Z4 Compact) out probably at Sep end(will check if it is real get used IMX230) since I love smaller phone and S6 is already a bit large to me, any larger new phone would be unacceptable. If Samsung willing to fix all problem, then I probably will stick for 2 to 3 years and skipping S7 and wait S8/S9.

But I will also put an attention on the upcoming Iphone6s or Iphone7 bcoz they are highly possible will use a new camera this time and may beat Android. Overall, S6 hardware is satisfied and camera functionality working well(looks good but not to the level my expectation, wish software will improve it more), the only problem S6 is all related how poor implementation on the software side and I think many will agree on this here.

---------- Post added at 02:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

You are about right on this. S2 and S4 are more favor over S3 and S5.

---------- Post added at 02:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:01 PM ----------

yup, S6 is much like an upgraded G2 when it comes to the larger screen with slim size and still barely enough for one handed.

What's wrong with nexus's
[Galaxy S6 General] Ƶero:
hm i came from Nexus 4 (3 years old now) and i really liked it just now the battery life and screen brightness is very poor also the screen backlight changed over time and i guess the gps got busted.

I bought the Galaxy s6 cause of the newest prozessor as i heard next year will be snapdragon 820 which is hardly as good as the exynos 7420 so i think i stay with it another 2-3 years it depends on how much more good devices come out.

I haven't received my Galaxy S6 yet but it should come today im really exicted bout it =) i also gonna use screen protector cause i know it'll get scratches like my Nexus 4 no matter which kind of "gorilla glass" it will have.
[Galaxy S6 General] roydok:
2-3 years. My previous S3 lasted 3 years.
[Galaxy S6 General] mattman83:
Well it'd have to be HTC, Sony or a nexus. Touchwiz is just no good, LG ui no better. Moto maybe, but haven't tickled my fancy to date.

Won't buy anything with the snapdragon 810 in it, and will be watching the 820 closely. The Exynos in the s6 is powerful, but lack of documentation means we are only ever going to have touchwiz based roms and the issues that come with that.

I really really love the s6 camera, I only hope the next phone is as good. But touchwiz itself is just a drag and I don't see myself staying long term on the s6 for that alone.

I will have to wait until the next round of ~5" flagships at least though because I don't expect anything special prior to then (mwc, ces etc).

[Galaxy S6 General] marcochapita:
Next year probably I change every year as well I sell the old one to buy the new :) so until s7 probably
[Galaxy S6 General] OrionBG:
Mainly two things! Speed and UX

The S6 is a lot faster than the N6 (the S6 have several times faster internal storage, faster RAM, faster CPU, faster GPU and better AMOLED screen)

The new TouchWiz is nice overal looks a lot more polished that the stock Android apps (I know!... this is strictly personal preference).

The S6 have a lot more premium feel to it... the N6 have a some construction issues that can't exist in such an expensive phone!

The only things that I'm missing are the screen size of the N6... but the Note5 should fix this :) and the fast Android releases... oh and the possibility to freely unlock your device without killing features.... Samsung and SONY, I'm looking at you...
[Galaxy S6 General] JazHusic:
Thanks to Vodafone in Australia offering 12 month contracts, I change my phone every year. And the best part is there is a service in Australia that buys your phones once you are done with them. In the past, the galaxies I owned would fetch about 30% of their original price when selling to this service after I upgrade to the next device.

[Galaxy S6 General] ChuckWow550:
I love my gold s6 much more than when I first got my s4. I always tried to compromise for the cheap plastic. No more of that bull. So my next phone would really have to impress the hell out of me. And it's getting harder and harder for phone companies to impress the hell out of consumers.
[Galaxy S6 General] TheEndHK:
All info said it got 12MP camera on IP6s(probably larger sensor and aperture), the pure image/video quality should catch up S6 now but they both got pros and cons. IP6s focus may even more faster but S6 still granted big benefit by OIS for steady hand video recording or the ability to take picture at lower ISO in low light.

The IP6s size is just same with IP6 indicated it won't has enough space to implement OIS. So, in the end I tend to believe that S6 still got somewhat better quality. I'm also considering about IP6s and IP6s+ is just too big and too expensive but the problem to me is Apple Watch is just ridiculously price high. I currently owned Samsung Gear2 Neo for S6 and Sony SmartWatch2 for my spare phone Z1c. SmartWatch is a personal requirement to me.
[Galaxy S6 General] t-shock:

No idea. Battery life is disappointing (came from a G2) but I knew that. Things like the ram management really annoy me though.

Chose the S6 because camera is very important to me, so the only other real option would be the G4... But no custom roms there either. Will see what the future brings. If the next Nexus or OnePlus device had a great camera I'd switch to that.

Hate to bust your bubble but there def wont be an S6 GPE.

As far as me keeping this device it really depends if they fix the memory management so that it work as it should for a device with the amount of ram it has. I do have a Nexus 6 coming cause I wanted to try that out and if I like it better then I'd make a switch. But I'll probably keep this phone till another update comes out for it at the very least. Samsung should had really put the same attention to detail to software of the phone as they did with the hardware.
