[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ITALIANNYC:
I have had this phone a total of 3 days. I am coming from a iPhone 6 and previously had a Galaxy s4 and 5 before this.

This phone is annoying me. Its sad because its so beautiful and if it functioned normally, we wouldn't have a problem. Sometimes I want to throw this thing across the room.

Someone please help me with these issues. I rely on wifi and wifi calling.

Issue 1: When I am home and connected to wifi and wifi calling, my messages and alerts do not come to me when I leave the phone down for a while and it goes to sleep. I will pick my phone up and suddenly I will get all my text messages and alerts. Wifi sleeping is on NEVER already. My iPhone never had this issue, nor did the previous samsung phones.

Issue 2: When I leave my house, the internet connection does not work all the time. Today I left my house and drove somewhere and needed to use my gps. I had full LTE service, and it was telling me I am not connected. This also happened with my apps that also did not work because it was acting as if I was not connected. Issue was fixed with a phone restart. I do not want to restart my phone everytime I leave wifi.

Issue 3: MMS does not receive or send on wifi. I had this issue with prior galaxy, but I am shocked this still has not been adressed.

I also keep LTE voice OFF because like with other phones that have VOLTE, for some reason it just does not work that well. I am in NYC so its not a reception thing.

Those are my MAIN issues and would like some help with them.

The only other thing apple has samsung beat on is that with headphones connected, the apple blows away the samsung in terms of volume and sound quality. Its sad because I have expensive headphones that I would love to use all the time, so I guess I will have to buy an iPod touch when and if I sell the iPhone

Also the screen is very sensitive. I see myself accidentally opening apps when all I want to do is swipe across my menu screens. Not to mention it keeps telling me that hangouts stopped working, when I have it disabled already!

I am stock btw. Latest version, and battery has been good surprisingly. I do not want to root

Anyway, thanks everyone and please help and address the top two issues :cool::D

Turning Wifi calling off will help drastically with those issues have you tried it without yet?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ITALIANNYC:
As I said, I rely on wifi and wifi calling. I live in a basement apartment with zero service. Who would buy a phone that is almost 1000 dollars, and have to turn off services you pay for to make it work the right way? There is no way wifi could be turned off while I am home
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] stlouie65:
Try doing a factory wipe, that usually solves issues like that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ITALIANNYC:
Factory reset a brand new phone? Sweet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] PanchoPlanet:
Contact your carrier and request a signal booster, no charge to you. Then you can rely on data instead of wifi. Also start a complaint ticket for the phone, after a while they will send you to tmobile store and replace phone. Maybe it's buggy, :o maybe it's not.

But if you really have to throw it I'll come over and catch it.

Our phones must be total opposites because this is the best Samsung phone I have had, this makes # 4, Captivate, GS2, SG4 and now the S6e.

But you never know, visit the Tmobile store, remember that you have 14 days to be totally satisfied, that means replacement with another NEW phone if necessary.

Pp.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] xEVILFREDx:
I know your pain. The fact that you're on t-mobile for wifi calling and this garbage device just not cutting it huh. I had almost all flagship samsung phone and this one right here is the most frustrating and expensive one of all. This device out of box is just terrible. Memory management, wifi issues, battery leak, FC left and right is just what I experience. Honestly this phone is making me understand why apple is better. Not because the people are stupid. But because they don't deal with half of the broken process we do here in Android. Yea I agree apple is like 2 years behind android but wtf. Now with Jump on demand I am thinking to make the switch to Apple or continue to toss my phone on the table when upset that the device once again is not responding. But lesson learned. Not jumping on new Android devices on release. This phone is a testament why.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ITALIANNYC:
Actually the phone works great right now. Maybe it needed a few days to become normal. Battery life is better then my iPhone 6. The text issue seems to ha e gone away. I still from time to time have the issue of leaving my house from WiFi and the phone acting like it has no connection, which requires a restart. I wonder what is causing that. Overall I'm happy with this device.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] IRIE4IPIER:
I can relate to you on T-Mobile LTE, and the screen. Although the reason the accidental app opening while swiping I think was happening because my hand was touching the side of the edge screen. Hold the phone differently or put a case on it and will notice this issue is decreased or gone completely.

There is still a screen issue with this phone and I've noticed it when typing out a fast message. Touch inputs do not register sometimes. That issue has some what been resolved with the case and my hand not being on the edge, but the issue is still there. My Note 3's screen is so much better in regards to accuracy and sensitivity.

For a $1000 phone, this thing should be close to flawless but it does have quite a few flaws, especially with Touchwiz and crappy lollipop. My main issue with TW is the way it manages memory. I just wanna throw this phone at the wall and stomp on it. I'll be in Chrome, go to reply to a text and make a note in Google keep, or whatever, come back to Chrome and it reloading the page I was just viewing a minute ago. So damn frustrating.

I haven't really been on XDA as much as I have in the past, but what ROMs can we flash for this phone because from the looks of it, the dev forum is a ghost town.

In regards to T-Mobile's crud network, just switch your phone into airplane mode, then off, a lot faster than rebooting the phone. This issue I've noticed only happens with LTE, what I do is just go to network settings and switch to WCDMA ONLY, which turns off LTE and connects to HSPA only, which is more reliable and FASTER in my area. Hope I helped someone out there cause I just typed this all on my S6 Edge.

Don't get me wrong, I love this damn phone and wouldn't trade it for any other phone, but better believe I'm gonna swap it out for the Note 5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] gunslingerfry:
This phone has fantastic hardware and the worst software of any phone I've ever owned. I can make compressed twrp backups in like 10 minutes. The screen is the prettiest I've ever seen. The fingerprint reader is very good. The camera is damned fantastic. The software is a pile of dog ****. Samsung should be ashamed. They should be ashamed because I just bought a heavily discounted Fire Phone and loading CM11 on it because I just can't take this crappy phone any longer. I'll check back in on the next update to see if things have improved. Until then I'll be using a phone that cost around 4.5 times less and will somehow perform better.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ITALIANNYC:
Funny thing is I have to reboot it if that problem ever happens. Airplane mode doesn't reset it. Weird
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] CollinFX45:
Going to have to disagree politely with the OP on headphone output quality. I too have an iPhone 6 and while yes, it has more volume, they both have enough volume to drive proper headphones and I find the output on the S6 to be extremely clean and more lively than the iPhone 6 output. Check GSMArena's review and notice they say it has the cleanest output of any smartphone they've tested thanks to the onboard Wolfson DAC. To each their own with sound quality, but I find the S6 to be extremely good, especially after the 5.1.1 update.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Aou:
Nonsense! That sort of behavior is not allowed here! ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ITALIANNYC:
Yeah nothing wrong with disagreeing. In my opinion it's much lower then the iPhone 6. It went from being fun to listen to music on my vmoda m100s to me wishing I could make it louder on my gs6. Also affected the quality in my car via Bluetooth. Much lower output. I guess every one has their preference

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] victoradjei:
Not really, but would have to flash back to experiment on TomTom ;) Then I will be back with the pack :cool: .

This is what I want to do. My TomTom code for version 6 has changed and still not got response from them to give me a new code. Their site says you can change device only once in 6 months :eek: While waiting for them to reply, I am going to flash back to WM5 and install TT and copy the exe file in Program files after registering the recognisable code. Flashing back to WM6, I will replace the one after instal with the previously copied one from WM5.

Is this legal :confused: and will it work? I have a backup so I hope reverting to current state will not be too much of a hustle.

Any sugestions?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] eagle 1:
The activation is on the maps, not the app itself.

I re-installed the app after re-installing wm6, the problem is with WM6 it changes the device code, so the hash of the device code and your product id are different in WM6,

I have both codes for wm5 and wm6, doesn't matter they need to give authority to your new wm6 device code found on your device after starting tt6.

Normally you can go to ttcode.com and enter your new device code and then it will authorise your maps automatically or provide a new product code. My problem is I got a new code when i switched from Tytn to Advantage and I have three device codes listed and can't add a fourth.

When I switched from the tytn to advantage, I found a 800 number and called and they did the authoirze and device change over the phone. Now, I can't find the number so I am in the same boat as you. Waiting on them to respond to 'my question' under my account login...Sent it yesterday and other than the auto response I haven't heard a thing...Wish I wrote down that 800 number.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] fatouraee:
give me the device code i might be able to get you activation code
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] halljames:
I too had the same problem and it was solved very easily with tomtom home.

After I had upgraded to WM6, I reinstalled tomtom, but the map that was on my SD card would not work. I fired up tomtom home and it gave an error that the device did not match my login and did I want to log in with a different account. I clicked no, and it had a button called update I think and I think this updated my account with the "new" device. It then must have authorised the map I bought for the new device and allowed me to re-copy the map over, and everything is working now.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] apd:
Beware - it only allows you to change device code a limited amount (twice per year?) After that, you will have to send TomTom proof of change of device.

Rooted Canvas A1 for the first time using Philz recovery to CM 12.1 Sprout 4 Nightly ROM and flashed Google Apps package from droidone website. Had to install all the apps as the package had only Google App and Play Store. While all the apps are working fine Google Keep is crashing at the very start. It's not even opening. Kindly, provide a solution to this problem.
[General Questions and Answers] bigbeed:
Hello all,

I'm new to the forums. I was directed here by a friend who said you guys could help me out. I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 that I am going to be installing into my car. I bought it off a buddy who already had it installed in his car. Let me explain whats going on with it and what I want it to do. I believe it is rooted but I'm not 100% sure. Right now it is using a program called Nova Launcher which allows you to use a program called Transparent Launcher so that I can make my icons transparent. This way I can make a background image with "buttons" on it and have custom icons. It runs a program called Tasker to turn the screen on when it sees a power source and off when it doesn't. That all works fine except when I hit the home key the background jumps around a little bit and then settles in the center. This only happens when I run the Nova Launcher as my home screen. When I use Touchwiz as my home screen it's perfect. Is there any way to fix that or another launcher that will let my icons be transparent? Also the screen dims out after 7 seconds and I don't ever want it to dim. Also I would like to put a soft keybar on the bottom of the screen similar to what the Nexux 7 has because I will not be able to hit the hard keys on the tablet once it is installed in my dash. I downloaded an app for that called Xperia/ASOP NavBar Buttons but it won't to work. Can anyone walk me through how to do all this or remote access my computer and do it for me? Any help Is appreciated.

Thanks,

Dave
[General Questions and Answers] that3arab:
Basically Nova launcher is sort of like a skin for the UI. If you go to play store and uninstall all the apps you won't be using, like Nova launcher or transparent launcher, they will go away. Also to use soft keys you will probably need to root the device and install a custom rom. This might be useful http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2459817 if you need to root/flash a new rom. And here is a link to a tutorial for enabling on screen buttons http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2690067

oh my god.. i dont need any custom rom for this moment if there's custom kernel released.. and I never expect the 1st custom kernel was released by you [MENTION=2388665]TheSSJ[/MENTION], you guys including [MENTION=2836769]jrior001[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3857343]crpalmer[/MENTION] and also other developers are rock!!

anyway a question.. can we flash it .img file using fastboot cmd on bootloader?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] Neekapp:
This be fine for the 2.19 no garbage rom?
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] cangcan:
tested this kernel since using it an hour ago..

some bugs that i found:

1. dancedance, wheatley governor (freezes phone when activated)

2. smartassv2 cause random reboot

3. all the I/O Scheduler besides stock cfq & noop are unable to be used ( I/O scheduler fifo, sio, vr, zen, tripndroid will return back to stock cfq after activated)

4. suddenly apps such Castro (I usually used it to monitor core speed) crash after using this kernel

and I used Device Control apps to apply the tweak.

and also..my device is hardly fall into deep sleep mode..hsi3_wake_lock is higher than in stock kernel..
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] sorg:
@TheSSJ

can you tell how you overcomed module signature check in your kernel? I see in your config x86_64_moor_defconfig, you still use CONFIG_MODULE_SIG=y option which should prevent modue loading compiled in other environment. Besides signature, modules have magic string which should be the same as in zImage. But i see you've took modules directly from stock kernel. So, how you've managed to load modules? I don't see any hack in commit history.

And, btw, what exactly toolchain you're using?

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:35 PM ----------

btw, you can update kernel by simplier command.

Boot into fastboot and then issue the command:

fastboot flash boot customboot.img

So, you don't need neither custom recovery, nor root. Just unlocked bootloader.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] jrior001:
[MENTION=334644]sorg[/MENTION] depending on where he forked from.... we disabled all the modules and built them in to kernel.

[MENTION=2388665]TheSSJ[/MENTION], we gotta work on your git-fu dude, although your kernel source meets the requirements, proper history helps with maintaining and gives more proper credit to where you forked from. If your interested in learning a few thing hit me on PM or IRC I'll try to teach you a few things.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] cangcan:
another thing guys, it seems that im unable to return back to stock kernel..didnt tried fastboot command yet, just flashed stock boot.img in twrp and its stuck on bootloop. the wakelock is pretty bad, so people who want to test this kernel should make a nandroid backup their boot first..i forgot to backup mine and now i need to use this kernel to get my zf2 working but with high drain..
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] sorg:
If module is built-in, then there is no reason to keep it in /lib/modules

I believe, modules are built-in because otherwise need to hack module.c to allow to load foreigner modules.

The main reason of my original question comes from need to load pre-compiled not opensourced modules such as texfat.ko and tntfs.ko. Actually, texfat.ko can be replaces by opensource exfat module from Samsung. But there is no opensource solution for tntfs.ko (i don't call that castrated ntfs opensource driver in linux kernel as alternative).

I've tried to hack module.c to allow to load foreigner modules (cannot disable the check by config flags because it affects the structures), and i can succefully load the module, but mounting the exFat(i'm experimenting with texfat.ko module) disk gives me out of memory error. So, either ASUS gave config not exactly they're using, or i don't know where is the problem.

I'm using AOSP GCC 4.8 recommended by ASUS.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] TheSSJ:
Yep, had that,too,fortunately I was able to restore stock kernel and now it is back to normal (75% deep sleep, 20% lowest clock). Need to investigate why it is causing that, as I didn't change the default governor at all (was set to interactive on mine, still 99% on 500MHz). The only real changes I made which were applied directly were just the dynamic read-ahead fix and the inclusion of all models in the kernel directly.

No hack used, as jrior001 wrote :) I will delete the modules in the lib folder as soon as I get home, as they bloat up the ramdisk unecessarily - it was too hot yesterday as it seems...

To be honest I downloaded a builduntu VM with which I am working. I am using the toolchain which was shipped with cyanogenmod 12.1 source, I plan to switch to AOSP or any other x86_64 optimized, though... maybe this fixed the exagerated wakelocks?

Would be really glad for any help in making this easier to build and to document - git is a pain in the a$$. Will send you a PM as soon as I can.

By the way: does anyone know if the used toolchain can be the reason why these kernel wakelocks appear??

[ZenFone 2 Android Development] TheSSJ:
Interesting - I didn't change a thing on the camera code...maybe I really need to use the AOSP toolchain as recommended by Asus...

//Edit: suspect this issue comes from the hsic wake locks cangcan posted on page 1. Basically the camera (and many other components, like modem) seems to be connected using USB protocol and there may be issues of occupied resources which cannot be used by other components. Will dive into the code when I come back home. I will also test the stock source and check if the wakelock occurs there,too! This would be an indication, that the kernel source from ASUS needs some special treatment in order to work well

I found the code piece (2 in total, xhci and ehci) where the wakelock is initialized, now it's tedious code crawling...
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] TheSSJ:
Some updates reg 2.18 kernel

So I have been tinkering a lot with the kernel and decided to start from scratch, with rather shocking results.

I have downloaded the original kernel source for v2.18 and compiled it strictly as described in the README included by ASUS.

After fixing some path issues the kernel compiled and I packed it into a boot.img.

After flashing and booting the wakelocks are still present!!! So this has definitely nothing to do with my modifications here, I used the x86_64_moor_defconfig with the diff_file for zenfone2 fhd and included all modules.

At this point in time I can say for sure that the config from Asus is either incomplete or something is missing from the source itself.

I will try to compile the 2.19 kernel today and see if the wakelocks disappear - but it seems that every other custom kernel should have the wakelock problems...

Just to let u know..

Also (some positive news): Intel granted me free access to their own c++ compiler binaries, which are increasing the performance of Intel based SoCs compared to normal gcc by a fair amount. Will also try to build the kernel with the Intel toolchain :)

Sorry to frustrate you, but Linux has no PowerVR OpenGL driver for Z35xx either. You will get the same 1fps in 3D games on Linux. May be a little more or little less, but around the same level, with software rendering and top high CPU loading.
[ZenFone 2 Android Development] aziz07:
:( I read its open source but we need someone to write the linux drivers. Linux is much lighter, faster and cleaner. Lubuntu LXDE will boot at 150mb Ram , windows 1Gb ram. Linux has more flexibilty and is updated on a daily basis.

Lubuntu x32 ~150Mb ; Lubuntu x64 ~200Mb. Not even mentioning how bad windows is at managing memory over time ; memory fingerprint is higher in windows. e.g. Post-boot idle memory on windows is a lot higher even with extreme tweaking which linux does not need 1st place. Most linux apps are free but they can become paid if developed well.
