[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] olskar:
Hello!

Recently managed to upgrade the modem on my s4. I went to samfirmware and downloaded the latest modem for my country (Sweden) and it's I9505XXUHOE1.

I then noticed there is a later version, I9505XXUHOE3, but it is for Romania.

Should I flash this instead to have the latest version and don't care it's for Romania?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
It should not matter. Some work better then others but I doubt it's related to the country.

hello

ive downloaded tomtom w europe 1.4 app but the screen stays black

has anyone got a solution for this problem?
[Android Themes] bhavstech:
it is a Galaxy S6 based CM12 theme with Remixed with my personal touches to matchup with stock

looks!

This theme is based on Samsung Galaxy S6 and is perfect for those who like the looks of Touchwiz!

The Highlighting point of this theme is that it doesn’t totally copy galaxy S6 but the colours and the looks are remixed such that they look much better than totally S6 based themes which do not go well with non- Touchwiz based phones.

[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
I'm using greenify and amplify plus i keep my screen brightness low and timeout screen 15 seconds but it feels like my battery life is crap.

I have other devices running CM with no apps like greenify and they typically last longer. I can leave those on overnight and still be at 100% but htc desire 610 will drop 3 to 5% if left off charger.

You think my battery has degraded? I bought this phone last august and have used it daily. If anyone is getting really good battery life please share if youre using any power saving apps, wakelocks, settings, etc. Thanks.
[HTC Desire 610] ifti786:
Battery life is OK for me especially when you consider I've always got mobile data, wifi and bluetooth on all the time. I can get about a day out of it most of the time
[HTC Desire 610] MiniBlu:
I always leave wifi,data,and bluetooth off unless I'm using them and was getting about 3 to 4 days battery life but now after stripping out all htc and google bloat my battery life has more than doubled to 8 or 9 days. There is so much htc background crap running all the time on full stock rom.

[HTC Desire 610] MGfusion:
Download and install the slimkat ROM for the desire 610. Way better ROM for battery, cause I'm using it and my battery is way better
[HTC Desire 610] KLit75:
Yea I've been employing basic saver settings (disable hotword, screen brightness, etc.) and before slimrom i was freezing everything i could now I'm testing slimsizer with success. I do see improvement but after 11 months as a daily driver I think battery has degraded some. On a quasy related subject I bought the fire phone today. Too good a deal to pass up. I own 2 fire tvs and a fire tv stick and been planning on subscribing to prime. The fire phone comes with a year prime membership ($99) for a grand total of $168 with tax. And it's unlocked. But that deal might end soon.

If you're into development (which obviously I am) fire os is nothing to get excited about but I think it's some great hardware and looking on the forums it appears rootable with CM11. I doubt I could sell my d 610 for much so I'll be holding onto it and looking forward to seeing if development takes off from here. Slimrom's been running great for me and I like the customizations, been using pie controls.

****Take that back what I said about fire phone. Root is only possible with lower firmware for now. (Hoping they send me one thats been in the warehouse for months.) Still don't regret it. Its great hardware but it might be more of a tablet for me than phone.
[HTC Desire 610] Dreamer86:
I have a firephone and it is 4.6.1.OS and I am rooted with supersu and google apps fully functional with no crash. To go a step further, alot of xposed modules work fine on the amazon firephone
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoviceXDAer:
Now that our bootloader is unlocked and what not, can we "emulate" apps which don't support x86 hardware? For example, XMODGAMES doesn't support Zenfone 2 as it's an Intel-based-processor phone. Can some developers somehow make it work? Thanks a lot!
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhp1995:
There is this thing and it really bugs me so can someone please clarify my doubt... Our zenfone has libhoudini so why doesn't apps like XMODGAMES work on our phone? Why do we have to code the app in such a way that it works on X86 architecture? Isn't libhoudini supposed to automatically emulate apps which run on arm architecture.. Why do we have to go such a long way and what is the fun of having x86 architecture then if it doesnt support emulation of normal arm apps (I am asking this question for knowledge purpose no offense zenfone users :p i myself love my zenfone :D)
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sugarPhlox:
So I managed to get BreakDroid working and a Fastboot cable, so I'm fully prepared for this.

However, when I hit Step 3, it says not to continue until ' the curtain come down that says Team Win'. I've been waiting for 5 minutes, and nothing has occurred, and I'm concerned as to what went wrong. Any help would be appreciated!
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sugarPhlox:
To ANYONE ELSE who may come across this!

I managed to get through Step 3 by going into the boot menu and selecting the 'Normal Boot' option. Once there, I went ahead and wiped the device of my information... and walked away. When I came back, it was on the TWPS screen.

On Step 4, I had to push it myself to the Kindle Fire startup screen. Once there, I was able to start Step 5, and then the device was complete!

If you're using Mac, be sure to thank the creator of BreakDroid for making it 100x easier to do this!

Will the lg l90 get the update to android 5.1?

If yes, what will be the improvements...
[LG Optimus L90] kiosk123:
L90 will get 5.1.1 i think, because on some devices are bugs on 5.0.2 ... and l90 its only 1,5 year old... I thinks that they will can change UI Like G4 ( g2 will get this UI on 5.1.1 update) and some bugfixes for ex. in multitasking is problem with tiles , they arent focused ...and many other things...

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsolias:
Hello

I have a Galaxy S3 that was working normally for a few weeks with one of the latest Paranoid Android 5.1 builds, Boeffla kernel and TWRP recovery. Today I powered the device down and since then I am stuck in a strange bootloop, what happens is the following:

1. The device powers on as soon as I place the battery on the device, NO power on button required (when problems started battery was at about 45%).

2. If left alone it infinitely loops the "Samsung Galaxy S3 I900" screen

3. Volume Up+Home+Power if looped twice gives me the TWRP screen but the phone instantly reboots so the menu is effectively inaccessible

4. Volume Down+Home+Power enters download mode but at this point Vol Up or Vol Down commands are non-responsive, USB connection and Odin doesn't work AND the device restarts after 3-5 seconds on that screen, so I can't flash anything at the moment (Latest USB drivers installed)

5. If steps 3 or 4 are attempted when phone is connected by USB cable to laptop then the device infinitely loops the charging battery icon but it looks like it is not charging i.e. no charging animation at this point.

6. If I connect the device to power plug WITHOUT battery and replace battery when connected, then the device does not auto-start as per point 1. Power button for 5-10 seconds throws me to battery icon and halts

7. Device to power -> no battery -> attach battery -> Vol up + home + power leads to halted battery icon

8. Device to power -> no battery -> attach battery -> Vol down + home + power leads to download mode that auto-restarts after a few seconds as per point 4

I would greatly appreciate any help at this point as I am out of ideas and out of ways to search google in a meaningful way, all info I can find does not apply as I can not access TWRP or download mode.

Thank you very much

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rp158:
Perhaps a messed power button? You can remove the outer plastic for trial.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsolias:
the power button feels ok, obviously I have no way of confirming that but it is certainly not stuck-in, i.e. i can feel it clicking when pushing it and it doesn't remain pushed in when released. all steps mentioned in my original post were tried without the back plastic on as I needed to hot-swap the battery for some of the steps. thank you very much for your input though :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Your power button is faulty, if it powers on when you insert the battery then it's shorted out.
[Galaxy S6 Active] kevroc:
Well, after a whole day of owning the S6 Active, the screen is cracked. Slid out of my pocket about a foot and a half onto the pavement. Not a huge drop, and honestly was expected it to be fine because it didn't sound like it hit hard. But the screen is done, about 1/4 of it is spider cracked. Makes me really wonder if I need a case on this phone, never would've thought so since it looks like it's already in a case.

Any ideas on whether a replacement would be available at any local shops that do all of the screen repairs? I know the Active is different from the regular S6's so not sure if they can do the active repair.

I did get the phone insurance, but would rather just get the screen fixed if possible.

Suggestions??
[Galaxy S6 Active] anneoneamouse:
Try ATT customer service. The phone is rated for drops, that's why you bought it.

AoN.
[Galaxy S6 Active] beaverslayer:
Looks like you were really unlucky. There are 3 impact spots on the screen where presumably it landed on rocks that were sticking up high enough to reach the screen. It would have been nice to have a taller lip around the edges.
[Galaxy S6 Active] anneoneamouse:
Another thing occurred to me, if you purchased it on a credit card, some have purchase protection, which covers theft and accidental damage for one to three months after buying. Amex has this.

AoN
[Galaxy S6 Active] kevroc:
Yeah, no luck for me, put it on Next. Had to do an insurance claim....
[Galaxy S6 Active] jackal2001:
I think the guy that ran his over with his car called Samsung direct to have it replaced. About $200
[Galaxy S6 Active] Livelyc:
Broken screen....

I had the same experience...only had the phone 12 days. Fell from only a few feet....cracked the LCD screen, but not the glass. No insurance ( haven't needed it in 20 years) AT&T said I could pay off the phone ( bought with NEXT) or pay the $300 to get the screen fixed. Contacted AT&T and Samsung...no help so far. I had trouble with the phone the first day I had it....smart switch didn't work correctly, and lost contacts and couldn't receive text messages for 24 hours. Went back and asked about replacing phone. Replaced SIM card instead. Now this...so disappointed. Not as durable as advertised
[Galaxy S6 Active] anneoneamouse:
Livelyc, did you buy on a credit card? Both my amex and visa offer purchase protection for the first month or so, including accidental damage. AoN
[Galaxy S6 Active] amurphylee:
Anybody have any luck with this?

I bought new from att 6 days ago. Yesterday, (first drop ever) it fell ~28'' onto a flat level hardwood floor, and the camera "lens" glass cracked at the center - making it impossible to take pictures. More importantly, b/c of this it is no longer water and dust proof.

I have been playing ping pong between att & samsung - both of who say physical damage isn't covered. The whole reason I bought it is because it is supposed to be drop resistant, shock, water, dust etc. The salesperson sold me for good when he proceeded to drop one onto carpet from waist height. The other selling point is the US Military Environmental Engineering Certification, along with these other statements on att's website:

"Meets U.S. Mil-STD-810G for water-resistance and to withstand dust, shock, vibration, temperature extremes, humidity, and high altitude. Submersible up to 1.5 m of water for up to 30 minutes. Rinse promptly to remove residue. Shock-resistant when dropped from less than or equal to 4 feet onto a flat surface. Device may not perform as shown in all extreme conditions."

I do know this standard is somewhat iffy when it comes to consumer products, but the real weird thing is that after talking to higher-ups at Samsung, they gave me a statement saying they have never claimed any of the above - basically I think this marketing point was fashioned by att, as the only place you can find the claim is on their website, and tech blogs that cite att's website.

Maybe it is just my emotions getting the best of me, but I just think one of these companies should take responsibility for this. I mean according to the quote above, if it fell in a toilet and I immediately pulled it out, promptly rinsed off the residue, and it wouldn't turn on - it seems like it should be replaced. So why wouldn't the bit about dropping onto a flat surface be equally applicable?

It is true that both samsung and AT&T's limited warranties state that they are voided by physical damage...but the phone's selling point (at least to me) was that it could stand up to physical damage. I suppose it just seems unfair to me to sell something that claims it is red, and then state in the fine print that if it isn't red, you aren't covered...

Anyway, I know I am probably just ranting by now, so I apologize for that. I know this is a forum about developing as well, and I will admit I joined solely for this post - so of that isn't cool, I understand and will not take offense to negative feedback.

Regardless I will continue to update this post regarding any milestones I hit with Samsung or att on this issue. It would be awesome if we could attack this problem together (for everyone else that feels jipped with their active). So far, I have just been told that physical damage voids any warranties, and I can pay to get it fixed. When I tell CS rep's to read the statement on att's website about the active regarding its "drop-resistance" I have gotten more than one agreement that the whole situation seems unfair.

If anyone else has any new info about this, please share, it is much appreciated. Will be updating.

If you bought the phone on a credit card, contact them, and see if their customer service department can help.

[Galaxy S6 Active] k3000:
The screen quality seems to be awful!

Same thing happened to me today: I was sitting in a camping chair and the phone slid out of my pocket and fell flat on a gravel. Estimated height: 1 foot. Result: Cracked screen.

I had the phone for 10 days.

Got it at Best Buy. Will try to return it under their 14 days return guarantee.
[Galaxy S6 Active] amurphylee:
Luckily I bought one of those glass screen protectors, which seems to be good.

Good luck with Best Buy, hope some good comes out of that.

I am pretty sure my credit card company does have some type of damage protection, however I am a bigger fan of cash - which is what I used to purchase my s6 active. It is always just much more simple and effective, although you have given a great reason to do otherwise.

I could understand if this happened with an iphone, regular s6, or literally any other phone. Whats that? You dropped your iPhone onto a pillow and the screen cracked? It isn't made to be dropped, we cannot cover that. But the s6 active which is marketed on our website to be shock resistant from 4 feet or less? Yeah go ahead and drop it. see what happens.

I went to the att store on a monday afternoon to complain. I had the manager and all 3 salespeople at the table with me. They had no other customers the entire time. I am really thinking about going there on a saturday to see if the pressure gets to them.
[Galaxy S6 Active] Hellon:
I know a reliable samsung parts supplier offers s6 active screen. You can visit there official site www.hcqs.com.cn.
[Galaxy S6 Active] michael6030:
water damage on the active?

Little scared right now, I bought the S6 Active about a week ago, and just today decided to take advantage of the "aqua mode", bringing the phone in and out of the water to take a picture. The phone started acting up, saying dock connected, among other things involving the charger port. 3 hours later and the charger port is not working properly. Hopefully this doesn't last, Samsung is shady as hell if they don't honor a water damage claim. Don't have an underwater mode if you won't honor water damage. :/
[Galaxy S6 Active] anneoneamouse:
Search the forum, this has happened too many people. It'll be fine once it dries out. AoN
[Galaxy S6 Active] kristinlgates:
Anyone find a screen

Busted my S6 Active (2-3ft drop) and having a hard time finding a screen, there are a couple on ebay but sell fast and one hiked his price from 200 to 300 with the last one in stock.

Samsung still tells me $240 and 1-2 week turn around. I can't go two weeks without my phone, it is a business phone. The guy that tested the active and eventually ran it over with his car, sent his in to get repaired by Samsung, he sent it in end of June, did not get it bask for around a month, end of July, they ended up replacing the phone. His assumption and mine is that even Samsung couldn't get the screen in and just gave up waiting and sent him a new phone. I would say his YouTube 'career' helped in just getting a new phone. I am just a pissed off loyal customer but have no fan base.

Like everyone else, I am super pissed at ATT and Samsung that they seem to sell this as a rugged phone with a shock/drop rating but no one will cover the repair, or warranty the rest of the phone if it is busted.

I have argued with so many people at Samsung they are not budging, trying again with ATT hoping for some sympathy considering I have not owned it but a month, maybe.

Trying to track down a supplier source for the screen but even that seems impossible considering its such a hard to find screen.

Anyone else have any luck?
[Galaxy S6 Active] K'len:
what was the result with the problem? i had the same problem and sent it to samsung..

under warranty or insurance, i just want a new phone or a phone in that case..
[Galaxy S6 Active] Hellon:
Same issue happened to me. I got a replacement screen from king ju and followed the replacement guide on youtube to replace the screen. Now the phone is working fine:)
[Galaxy S6 Active] waynemag6682:
I recently lost mine out of my pocket while riding my dirt bike it shattered the screen and won't work anymore. Has anyone had any luck finding a screen for cheaper than $199.00 and how hard is it to replace by yourself
[Galaxy S6 Active] Highshooter69:
Same problem

This just happened to me today while hiking fell from waist high and landed face down on the trail. Screen cracked. Bought it 7 days ago from best buy. Curious if you got anywhere before I call.

i have removed only the glass from the galaxy s6 active anyone know where to buy a new one?
[Galaxy S6 Active] razomike:
Seems I'm not the only one. I've had the S6 Active for less than a week. Expected it to take a beating as advertised online and through youtube tech videos. I dropped the phone about 3 feet onto vinyl covered floor (not even concrete or solid wood)... and my screen cracked in the bottom right corner. Crack is bad considering the short fall.

At the very least, I was still able to enroll into AT&T Mobile Insurance plan but come to find out the deductible is $200, more than what I got the phone for at 2-year contract renewal price (I paid just $130 online).

I had the standard Samsung S4 for over 2 years, and that phone took a beating, dropped it several times on concrete, carpet, tile, you name it.... Was very surprised this s6 active broke so easily.
[Galaxy S6 Active] S6ActiveNew:
Got the S6 Active last week. Dropped it today as I was getting out of the cr. Cracked screen. Called ATT who said I have 2 options. A). Pay $200 deductable for insurance and have the phone replaced. B). Use a recomended phone repair shop and pay btn $80-$100.

I will choose B). I WILL ALSO STOP BELIEVING THE HYPE BY AT&T THAT THE S6 ACTIVE IS STUDDY.
[Galaxy S6 Active] archie87:
Did any of you use a screen protector? Gorilla Glass is not impervious to damage. I can understand using the phone without a case as the BODY is more rugged, but the glass screen is the same as any other phone out there.
[Galaxy S6 Active] tzukowski:
Wanting to take a slap shot on my own G6 Active...I told all my friends how rugged this phone was when I bought it, only to have the glass shatter in the first two months I had it. I leaned over to tie my shoe and my G6 Active flopped out of my shirt pocket from a height of less than 2 feet. I flipped once and landed flat on the basement floor. I picked it up and the entire glass surface was a spider web of cracked glass. Samsung told me they are aware of the glass cracking when it lands flat on hard surfaces. They had genius lawyers include a clause in their warranty, where any damage to the phone voids the warranty. The phone was advertised as being a rugged phone, meeting military drop and shock standards. That is why I bought it. Some product reviewers stated this is the only phone that you should not need to buy a case for to protect. If I knew this was possible from such a short drop, I would have gotten an Otter Box or Life-proof case. I contend the damage my phone suffered has to be a design defect and Samsung should be the good guys...and replace my phone. I doubt that would ever happen. I have to live with my broken glass until I can save enough to pay the $200 insurance deductible out of my pocket. Thanks Samsung!﻿

In the same boat. Phone slipped out of my hand and fell less than 2 ft on the steps into my house. The bottom corner is cracked. I bought this phone solely because of the durability pitch.
