[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MadJoe:
My only real complaint with this phone is the battery life. Everything else that people are complaining about, I don't seem to suffer. My pages stay loaded, my music stays playing, I don't get random vibrations, the lag is minimal, and even then only sporadic. But the battery life is driving me insane. I'm tired of being tied to a wall all day.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] icy1211:
I just tried clearing system cache manually for the first time since the last OTA by booting to recovery menu. It seems to be a bit less laggy now compared to before. I'm trying different things to hold me over from flashing a new ROM in hopes of improving the phone until the next OTA update which I hope will fix this issue. Let me know if that works for any of you guys...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] NYLUVBUG:
Just gave it a try. Seems to be slightly quicker when opening apps. I'll post up if I see further improvements
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] DougB541:
Hey dudes. I haven't posted here in forever but i had to see if other people were having the same s6 issues I was having....apparently people are lol.

So yes, I had buyer remorse, and yesterday after a day where my battery refused to be normal (coming out of airplane mode, lost like 15% within a few minutes) I went into T-Mobile and bought the LG G4. So far, it has been the best decision i made. I was going to try going down the Rooting route, but simply put, i'm not going to futz with a $800 phone to get it to work like my last 3 phones.

Good luck everyone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] Intub8:
How was the remorse process in the store. I am going to remorse my s6 for the edge + and just want to know what to expect. I know there is a restocking fee . Am I able to return the case I bought with the phone? Any info would be helpful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] DougB541:
I was long out of the return window lol. That's how bad it was annoying me. I simply bought the G4 and added it to the lease program I'm on and paid off the remaining balance.

I'm evaluating the G4 right now but if I keep it, which I think I will, I will sell my S6 on Craigslist or something. Main negative right now for the G4 is quick charge is not as fast on the G4....was very used to the s6 charge time and the only thing that made its terrible battery life, usable. But, I've made it to end of Night twice so far so can't complain all that much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MadJoe:
Part of the reason for the S6's faster charging is the fact that it has a smaller battery, so less to charge. iirc the G4 is 3000mAH to the S6's 2550mAH.

i'm planning on buying the note 5 but unfortunately I hate that we can't have aosp with this device.

samsung source codes are still closed.

why? smh
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] solidmac:
dont bank on the note 5 having source code either. the note 5 uses the same cpu as the s6 with just 4gb ram being the only upgrade.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] otariq:
Will we never get source code? I wasn't even thinking about the possibility of not being able to flash cm on this phone. It totally forgot that it was a Samsung processor when I bought this phone. I knew TouchWiz was toned down a lot on this phone but it's still crap compared to sense on my old m8
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] sweets55:
The Note 5/S6 Plus Roms on the S6 are blazin...I couldn't get the audio to work on calls and the patch didn't help but once that's fixed I'll flash it again. It improves the speed and battery life. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] solidmac:
one thing i dont understand is why the spen does not work on the s6 i could use it on any of the galaxy tab and s4 i think.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] MadJoe:
The S Pen only works on devices that have a specific digitizer (Wacom iirc). It's not a stylus, so it won't work with capacitive touchscreens like the S6, Tab, and S4 etc use.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] EvoNotion:
Is there a way to adjust the volume louder?

I've noticed the the M9 speakers do not have anywhere near the volume that my M8 had whatsoever. I'm missing texts and emails and most importantly phone calls.

I'm S-Off, rooted and have a custom ROM already. (Thanks to dottat)
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] ndstate:
I am having a similar issue with volume. I can barely hear the person talking when im on the phone. Anyone else having these issues? Im stock.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] EvoNotion:
Yeah, this is proving to be a pain. I can't hear my GPS, my phone calls, my alarms, nothing and I have the volume all the way up.
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
I think we should meet back up and compare phones. I don't think mine is quiet.

Sure thing.. I don't know when I'll be that way again, I'm in Philly this week.

Just asking, explanation if possible,

why is it when hit spacebar at the beginning of the sentence (first line) like " test" and then press send, the message/post sent will not display the empty space of spacebar instead it'll be like "test".

Like this thread, if I put a spacebar before "Just asking.." it will ignore the blank spacebar.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davestuarts:
Hi, I wonder if anyone can anyone help or ideas to my problem.

I come from a long line of Cowon audio players and am now using this phone as my main audio player because the quality is good, though the volume is low and because its convenient to carry one device, with all my music transferred to the 128GB card.

Anyhow, one thing I miss is the ability to use/assign the hardware buttons for basic audio control.

The Z3C has three buttons usable for custom control, though the volume is already assigned so maybe it leaves just one? The camera button.

Perhaps this button can be used with a sequence of presses to control Pause/FFD/RWD tracks (similar to handsfree buttons) or even the power button to control in music mode only and double press to awake phone as normal?

Is this possible at all. Can the signals of the wired handsfree be sent to the hardware buttons?

Phone is still on rooted KITKAT (kinks in 5.1.1 LP yet).

Thanks in advance.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meaniez:
well, you could use Pocket Skip Track to change/stop tracks with a long [or double] click on the volume up/down

as for the wired handsfree you can use JAYS Headset Control and set it so that a single click will start/stop the music, a double click will skip a track and a triple one will skip back.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davestuarts:
Hey, thanks for that app, didn't know such existed. Looks promising :good:

Regarding the headset, I was just using it as an example to describe, sorry about the confusion. I use Jetaudio player, which can work with most buttoned headsets already.

But because I use real headphones, they don't have controls on them. Hence, being able to jump/skip tracks with just the Z3C buttons is needed.

Thanks so much for your help. :cool:

Which language does your Herald has - and what do you want to flash. You have to choose teh original RUU.

Does it give the "Vendor-ID error"??

[Wing, P4350 General] papamopps:
Last chance. Try to flash ANY rom. Posted in the WIKI.

Good luck. When you don´t find one without given Vendor-ID error. You have to wait for the official HTC update.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jian:
I have an unbranded SM-9005 running the latest Polish lollipop 5.0 rom. It is not rooted.

For some reason whenever I try to install an app from the Amazon appstore, the SD card decrypts itself and then tells me the "SD card is safe to remove". This message appears at the same time as the app is installed.

However, when I try to open the app, I notice the following:

1. The application drawer does not display the proper icon or name for the app, and

2. I get an error message that the app has stopped.

When I go back to the Amazon appstore app to check on the status of the app I attempted to install I am told the app is installed but that it was not installed from the Amazon appstore! No matter what I do the app won't open so I uninstall it.

I thought I had a faulty SD card (SanDisk 64gb Ultra), so exchanged it for a brand new 128gb one of the same brand and class. However it's happening again.

Once the card has decrypted itself there is no way of encrypting it again unless I reboot the handset. If I try to encrypt the card it just ends up in a loop of asking me to enter my password, informing me that the card is ready to be encrypted and then asking me for the password again.

However if I try and install an Amazon appstore now it installs successfully.

I was running the Polish lollipop rom for a few months and everything was fine. This issue just appeared out of the blue and I'm thinking I might have a problem with my SD card slot.

Ideas anyone?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerstavros:
I am trying to root the stock Lollipop rom of DG280 (can be find in doogee.cc)

i created custom system.img, custom recoveries, unsecured boot.img but even if i root it, it doesn't boot again.

I unpack system.img and put the su binary in xbin, then i pack it and flash , but bootloops.

Unsecured boot.img boots but when i connect phone to pc, it doesn't get recognized. I created a custom recovery based on kitkat and worked, but after installing various rooting packages, like supersu v2.46, phone boots rooted at first time, but after reboot it doesn't boot again!

Please any help appreciated.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frooby:
Not sure if you have it sorted but just thought I would mention what works 100% for me. Just picked up a leo dg280 while waiting for a replacement screen for my main phone.

Anyway use kingroot to root, then google for the mrw script and follow those instructions to replace kingroot with SuperSU. So far has worked everytime for me ( have reflashed lillipop numerous times for different reasons)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerstavros:
I had tried that but never worked (vroot, root genius, kingroot etc). I finally flashed a custom made cwm recovery and installed a kinguser su package.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frooby:
What recovery did you use? I can't find any that work! Any chance you can pm me a link? :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gerstavros:
Ι had made a custom cwm based on kitkat rom i think. It doesn't work properly in lollipop rom, it cannot read internal or external file storage partition although i was sure i had configured correctly the files, you can install a package only via adb sideload. Also it is bigger than the stock recovery and i ' m not sure if that occures any problem.

I m not sure now which file it is, if i make one for lollipop rom i ll upload it

I have been having horrendous Cell Standby issues and it has been draining my battery perfusely. I came across a reddit article and so far so good. Listed in the comments some stated they had to repeat the steps later on, some have stated that it has fixed there cell standby issue greatly. After following the instructions verbatim I was able to get 17min 46sec of 100% battery charge until it dropped to 99%! Cell Standby is no longer showing as a variable either. :D

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Kalnel:
That worked for me a few months ago when I first got the phone, but it doesn't touch the problems I'm having now, with Email Sync, Email Storage, and Android Services eating my battery life.

THanks for the thought, though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Crucia1:
Unfortunately my cell standby issue came back :( I just wish Samsung would put up a notice stating they are aware of "These specific issues" and that they are working on a update... I seriously want to keep this phone but I hate when I am searching for optimal battery life threads and all it states is to use a black wallpaper to enjoy our beautiful amoled screen, turn on power enabling, decrease the brightness manually instead of using auto... I thought I bought a $800 smart phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dave31175:
This has been a killer for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Kalnel:
I think I've got mine back to normal (for the moment). I ended up deleting my Exchange email account, wiping the cache, rebooting, and adding the Exchange account back in.

Overnight, the battery fell from 99% to 93% (in nine hours), which is about normal for my phone. No sign of the Email Sync or Email Storage on my battery list today.

I have a feeling there is some glitch in the native email app. Every few weeks, it also deletes all my settings for syncing folders. I have to go into each folder and re-set it to auto-sync to get mail in it. Big pain...

I am using Cleanrom Lite (debloated rom). After 2-3 battery charging cycles, I don't even see cell standby in the list. I followed the steps recommended by OP. In stock roms, I get about 10-17% in the list. But debloated rom the best.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] jeremycase00:
Sadly this has been about normal battery life for me. This is with a little over 2 hours screen on time. All on WiFi. The turning off advanced calling and wiping the cache has never helped unfortunately.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] clintw22:
I get about the same. It's ridiculous that the battery life on the latest flagship phone is this bad. Some people get better battery life and they are lucky. I got twice the battery life on the s5. I can't wait to upgrade and I've had all the galaxies but might need to look somewhere else for the first time in 5 years. Without battery life the phone is useless so they should of done way better in that department.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] deranger:
Can any of you post Better Battery Stats screenshots, specifically kernel wakelocks and partial wakelocks? I am curious because I am not experiencing bad battery life whatsoever, and I have advanced calling enabled and wifi on all the time. In fact, the battery life on my S6 is MUCH better than it was on my S4.

Looks great! Using dark theme and the UI is excellent!
[Sprint  Galaxy Note 4 Android Development] uzairabdulmajeed:
Change the splash while in recovery:

Download the AIK-Mobile-Installer.

Flash the AIK zip in recovery.

This will install the required scripts and binaries to \data\local\AIK-mobile.

In Materialised settings, select CHANGE SPLASH.

Select the stock TWRP .img file.

Select the .jpg file you want to use as splash screen.

Set options:

Make Sure

If Automatically install... is unchecked, the repack will only be created and saved to the same folder as the stock TWRP image.

If checked, the repacked recovery will also be installed on your device.

If Include current theme... is checked, the theme in its current state (accent color) will be included in the repack, replacing the stock TWRP ui.

The ui.zip will automatically be deleted from /sdcard/TWRP/theme, as it is no longer required.

Be aware that changing the accent color won't be possible with an integrated theme.

In general, I'd recommend to not include the theme into the repack. By keeping the ui.zip, there's always the stock ui as a fallback option in case there's something wrong with the theme.

Start repacking/flashing with a swipe.

During the process, Repacking in progress... will be shown.
