[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] Bxrider117:
I've always had an android phone. My love relationship with them started with Verizon and the Moto Droid. Needless to say flashing roms and rooting phones is part of the reason I but phones.

I'm not a big fan of the progressive size increase in cell phones, but I owned a fee large phones. My wife got and iphone 6 dividing our house a few months ago and while I would not get an iPhone, I marvelled at how is was small and manageable. Yet able to perform any task and take great pictures.

So I sold MY white LG g3 to get a blue 64gb S6. I rooted it immediately and it was quite impressive. It offered all of the things I like about the iPhone 6 and a great fingerprint scanner. I have two young boys and a selfish obsessed wife and the cameras on this phone are great. So great my wife takes pictures with my phone when we are out.

One day I decide I want a white S6. So I purchased one on Swappa.com and sold mine there as well. I confirmed that it still had a root able version of lollipop, but when I get the phone the seller upgraded the phone the day he shipped it. So I tried to rock with the unrootable S6 checking everyday to see if OF1 version of lollipop had been rooted. I hated the phone. For anyone that is stuck with a S6 on stock OF1, I understand your pain. In my opinion Samsung is losing money because of restrictions on the stock version of this phone. So I'm currently selling that phone on Swappa.com for reasonable price.

I went and purchased a gold 64gb S6 and it came rooted and the feel if the phone is night and day. The speed it just how I remember the phone a drunken my battery life is sick. With stock OF1 I would only average 11-14 hours with maybe 2-3 hours of screen time. This is my first day with the rooted s6 and I'm currently at 11 hours and 2 hours of screen time with a few restarts to flash different themed items and I still have over 40% of battery life left.

My recommendation is that of you love the form factor of this phone and everything else it has to offer and you are stuck on OF1 version of lollipop, sell your phone to get a root able version of the s6. You will practically break even with the swap.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] brholt6:
I've been thinking of selling my rooted S6 so I can leave Verizon. I didn't see any other White 64GB S6s that were rooted on Swappa so I wonder if there's a decent demand.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] crazyvash1:
I love almost e everything about the phone and it is rooted the biggest main issue i have is it lags alot for me. Yes i have a decent amount of apps but my m8 is set up exactly the same and it doesn't lag at all even with just 2 gigs of ram. And my other issues which this is mainly because of verizon is development is almost not there. I am grateful for the roms we do have but it still takes away from the phone for me somewhat.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dispozable:
I HATE my s6. The cell reception is fine, I'm lucky enough to be rooted as well, but this thing is junk IMO. Don't get me wrong, the camera is ok and it was the primary reason to get this phone. I use it daily for pictures and it performs pretty well actually. The fingerprint reader works pretty fast most of the time as well, but I would absolutely 100% not buy this phone again or recommend it to anyone else. Even during pictures this thing is hot and battery life is unimpressive. Yes wireless charging is included, but once again super hot while charging as well.

Battery life got much better after root and the screen is amazing, but I'm jumping ship here in a few months, I actually consider it a downgrade from my LG G2 except for the camera :(
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] PhallusOfGod:
I miss my HTC ONE M8. Totally rootable, totally customizable. Love the specs on the S6, but Verizon is making a huge mistake locking their phones down. It's the antithesis of Android, Linux, and open source in general.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] zathus:
Lol wat? You absolutely hate the phone because it gets hot? That's like the only negative thing you said
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dispozable:
Yea I guess I should of clarified on that one, it was a long day :)

-The lack of a removable battery is a killer. My battery drain is pretty serious and needs charging throughout the day. Eventually I will need to swap that battery....

-My two S6s have both lagged from day 1. Removing bloatware helped but still laggy. Have to clear our app caches once a week or so.

-The camera lens is elevated from the back of the phone and makes it not lay flat well. Not a biggie, but annoying.

-Touchwiz.... I hoped we would have CM by now or something close but its a big setback.

Most of the other issues I have are software related and would be fine when/if we can unlock the bootloader. I've come to learn over the years that a waterproof phone is a big advantage here in Florida too, my gf's old S5 was actually just used during the last flood we had and was great. I guess I agree with the OP, it is a love/hate, just mine is more hate than love.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] zathus:
I agree with the camera lens. I like cases but hate that I need a case to protect that.

My battery gets me through and average day. But that is always a user experience. I can see how it wouldn't be enough for many users.

I've never hated it but there are days where I am less impressed than others. Where TouchWiz shows its ugly side. Hopefully whenever you get next works out better for you
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] PhallusOfGod:
Get a battery case. It's the only way.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dispozable:
Yea it seems so :( I'm only stuck with it for a few more months and the gf and I are both bailing. Its a shame too because these phones are damn sexy too lol. Right now I'm stocked up on wireless chargers and have them strategically placed around work and home and it seems to be working out ok. Its not too terrible since there are no plugs to charge.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] templton:
Came from a rooted s4 with xposed to the g6 and I feel lost. The g6 gets good battery life and works just fine but I am having major Bluetooth issues between that and sync for my car that I never had with the s4. I will do better research before making my next purchase. I don't care how good the camera is etc... If the boot loader is locked down I will purchase a different phone. Not everyone wants to use samsungs bloat ware. Also if I want to turn the volume up and blow my ear drums out I don't need a visible warning to appear telling me I might do that....I can hear just fine Samsung....
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6] dispozable:
I'm pretty sure the BT is a known issue. Does anyone know if the update fixes that? I know I cant get more than 5m or so from my phone before it cuts out. I used to get almost double that with my G2. I agree with you on the headphones warning too lol. Almost as bad is the Verizon crap it tries to install each time you hook it up to a computer. I flashed the fix but it sure was annoying waiting on root first. Guess we can blame V for the bloatware too.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alron1:
Hi there.

I've bought a used HTC One M7 a while ago and it turns out that it is some kind of a weird hybrid. It has only 16GB of storage space (as seen in the phone and by using a few apps, including using them with root to see 'invisible partitions'), shows as M7_U in fastboot menu, has all the normal peripherals (including the screen, Snapdragon 600 processor and Adreno 320 graphics and, according to what *#*#4636#*#* says, I can enable LTE. You may think that it is a dualsim phone - it's not, it's just a normal HTC One M7, without SD card slot and second sim card slot. Everything would be fine if not for that dreaded 16GB of memory, which I do not understand.

Right now I'm using stock european ROM from M7_Ul on it and everything seems to be fine, but the amount of memory is bugging me a lot. Also, the fact that I can theoretically set up LTE there despite it being M7_U.

And that is why I've decided to ask people of more experience in the matter - is there any way this phone HAS 32GB memory and I just can't see it? Also, why does it say that it supports LTE despite being M7_U?

Normally I'd expect it to be some chinese look-alike but I can't seem to believe it since it has Snapdragon 600, Adreno 320 graphics and the original, incredible FullHD screen.

Any guesses?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
You see the lte option because of the M7_UL rom on it, LTE will still not work if its an M7_U.

can you post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (dont post imei / sn) and some photos of your phone? First time I heard of a M7_U dual sim..... Photo with back cover removed please. If you don't have another device to take photo of your phone, take of photo of itself using a mirror.

I'm kind of afraid to take the back cover off since I've never done it. Is there any way I can destroy it, or loosen it so that it won't fit anymore? With the cover on, it looks exactly like the one from here

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
So its a M7_U running the M7_UL European firmware. I already hear they have made some 16gb version... that might be one.

NVM, I misread your first post and was thinking you were saying it was a dual sim. Single sim doesn't have a removable cover (well not intended to be removed by the user)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alron1:
Thanks for your answer.

There's one more thing that's bugging me but I'd rather not open another topic so I'll just ask here.

The bottom speaker of this one is showing weird clicking sound when used. And by used I mean used in anyway - notification, music, video, anything that uses a speaker. Normally I'd just say that it's the speaker's fault and it needs fixing but this one is giving clicking noise when a sound is played EVEN if the sound is silent. E.g. I start a video on youtube and it's clicking even though video is muted. Another thing is, when the music stops, it is still clicking for a couple of seconds. The speaker itself doesn't give any kind of sound apart from clicking.

When I got the phone, the speaker was clicking. Then after a couple of days it stopped (at the time I was doing some ROM flashes, recovery flashes, rooting...) and then it started again out of the blue, around the time I set it up with stock M7_Ul ROM and installed all updates. Do you believe that the problem is software related, or do I have to fix the speaker at some GSM repair centre?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Looks like a blown speaker or badly installed speaker. I'm almost sure it will need some physical intervention

[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikron15:
Hi there,

Is there a way i can test if the gps chipset on my new p3300 is working properly?. I installed Iguidance but it will never get a fix although it does auto detect the gps port . I ran quickgps over wifi and despite downloading the latest fixes, Iguidance fails to get a fix

I am looking for any freeware appz which can just tap into the gps receiver and start spitting some data so i can be assured its not the gps module but Iguidance. Something like a gps viewer which displays the # of sats, lat n longitudes etc.

I appreciate any help I can get as I have only 2 more days before i can get this device exchanged.

Thanks in advance!~

btw, I am running Wm6 using B&b3.7 rom
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] aje_fr:
Search on google for visualgpsce.

Bye
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikealder:
Grab a copy of the TT GPS Driver 2,06 from here http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=Downloads&d_op=viewdownload&cid=13 install that as it is an application in its own right.

Fire up the application on the Artemis and select the GPS tab in the application Use the following Settings:

Top drop down box "NMEA 0183v2 9600"

Second drop box "COM4"

Make sure the two sliders in the middle of the screen are to the right, then check the grey/ blue box top left, return to the "Status" tab and take the unit outside, you should see some activity and get a position fix after a couple of mins - Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikron15:
Thank you guys so much..

After running the app, i got 12 sats in view and 7 fix. So w00t, the gps chip is working.

Now to figure out whats wrong with iguidance

Thanks again...
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikealder:
Not too sure about that app as I have not tried it (yet) - does the GPS hardware actually start when you fire up the application - if you can configure it to use COM4, Baud 9600 do so and try it again. The indication the GPS has fired up is down to the LEDs on the device, once started it will flash orange to signify its in use. If this doesn't happen you might need to look into using Fransons GPS Gate to present a virtual GPS port to the application - Mike
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikron15:
Well, I do see the orange light blinking when Iguidance is running but still sees no sat's.

I even upgraded to V3.01 and same issue. Also tried Franson gate app and no luck.

I could try tomtom since that appz does see the sats and gets a fix ( tried it using a free US map) but i am having trouble loading the N.A+canada map since i don't have the cab file for it just the extracted map files which Tomtom HOME will refuse to load unless its a cab file i believe

Off to google to hunt on instructions on how to make cab files...
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] evaluator:
last time i checked iguidance v3 wasn't compatible with the artemis.
[P3300, MDA Compact III General] mikron15:
Oh ic. I did come across a couple of posts reflecting the same .

Oh well..I loved the map loader feature of Iguidance. Sad to see its gone in the upcoming V4.

Anyways I got tomtom running.. i was suppose to have the maps in the root folder of the memory card not in a sub-folder ! :o
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rahulblue:
Since yesterday, I noticed something strange on my note 3 - I can't seem to play 2 videos simultaneously. I tried 2 browser windows, 1 browser window and YouTube, and each time it switches between the video windiws. Is there a setting to enable multiple videos to play simultaneously?

Anyone?
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
Diceplayer and Youtube.com in Chrome play at the same time.

Diceplayer and Youtube app play at the same time.

Dolphin and Youtube app play at the same time.

All three tested in Multiwindow.

Youtube in a penwindow and Dolphin browser with youtube.com in the main view works. Minimizing the pen window stops the playback.

Chrome with Youtube.com in a penwindow and Youtube app in the main view works. Minimizing penwindow does not stop playback.

The Youtube app does not support background playback. (It's an iOS port, which is infinitely ironic since Google owns both Youtube and Android.)

In Multiwindow both apps are running in the foreground, but if you open two apps normally, only one is in the foreground. In Pen window both apps run in the foreground, unless you minimize the penwindow.

VLC has a Play Videos In Background setting. So does Diceplayer. (Which I did not have enabled during the test in Multiwindow)Those two could play two local videos simultaneously, as well.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chopstyx:
Hi, I want to install TWRP but on the devices page of the TWRP website, there isn't a build for the Verizon Galaxy S6. There are builds for the Sprint and AT&T variants and there is also another build that is stated to be just for the "Galaxy S6" (zeroflte). I was wondering if the zeroflte build would be safe to install on my Verizon variant of the Galaxy S6. Any help would be appreciated.

Updated info

I just tested with anothers car....

2009 Nissan Rogue...works fine (is used as an audio device only...no phonebook etc features)

Also tested with an Iphone 5 to my Jeep and that phone connects fine.

I tried using an app called 'Bluetooth Fix Repair' from the app store. It gives an error at startup:

"Sorry this application cannot find your bluetooth setup folder on this device"

Can this be the issue?

The bluetooth folder I was working with in the OP was on the phone at etc/bluetooth

Should I have another one somewhere...maybe missing or corrupted?

Any help!?! Cannot find anyone else with this same issue here (xda) or on google etc.
[G2 Android Development] Rashed97:
Hello all,

Now that official CM12.1 (and other ROMs) builds based on the new lollipop kernel and blobs are running, it's time I post these here. These are bootstacks with the latest images from G2 lollipop builds that are REQUIRED to run these new builds. I have added asserts to the CM builds and you will not be allowed to flash the builds unless you are on 4.4.2 or 5.0.x bootstacks. The 4.4.2 ones will work (if you ever took the 4.4.2 OTA, you have these) HOWEVER, the 5.0.x ones are more stable and the 4.4.2 modem has a tendency to crash. While it is recommended to restore to stock and update to lollipop, some users (myself included) would rather flash a bootstack. So here are mine that have been sitting on GitHub since May.

NOTICE: The KitKat bootloader will only work with bump, while the Jellybean bootloader will work with both Bump and Loki.

D800:

5.0.2 Bootstack with KitKat (Bump) bootloader: https://github.com/lg-devs/bootstacks/raw/master/d800/lp/bootstack-d800-LP_30d-Bump-signed.zip

You'll notice that the D803 is missing. When the 5.0.x OTA is released, I'll package one for it.

Enjoy.

No prob ;)
[G2 Android Development] eric93se:
Quick question, I have a D801, I flashed I believe it was drgravy's Bumped LP bootstack, he has the same file title, but the sha1 does not match. Does your file have updates or should I stick with what I have? :)
[G2 Android Development] Rashed97:
They were the same a few hours ago, until I updated mine. I added asserts so you can't flash another variants bootstack on your device. For example, the d802 one will ONLY flash on the d802, it'll error out on the other variants. Just an added layer of security so no one tries something stupid ;)
[G2 Android Development] barturblits:
Nice thanks!

Drgravy did not have a KK bootloader in his bootstacks.

Any idea what the difference is with the bootstacks from Daniel Stuart?
[G2 Android Development] Rashed97:
I had mine first, he just repackaged them. Which I don't particularly care about since these images aren't my property in the first place, they're LG's.
[G2 Android Development] sandys1:
[MENTION=4662457]Rashed97[/MENTION] - thanks for your work on the d803. Creating a bootstack inspite of no official release by LG Canada, was pure genius!

Who is the official maintainer for the D803 tree on CM ?

Also, earlier I *think* I saw that you used a patched D800 bootloader for the D803. I am running a CM12.1 ROM built by zr239 based on that tree with full CAF for D803. I have everything working including skype, etc.

if we install the new ROMs from www.cmxlog.com/12.1/d803, will that be a better or a worse experience ?
[G2 Android Development] Rashed97:
It'll be the same since he was building his builds from my sources, which are now the official CM sources

KK Bootloader flashing...

LP Bootloader flashed.

Is there a mistake ?
[G2 Android Development] Rashed97:
No, it's the KK bootloader, I just made a mistake in the text it prints. Means nothing.
[G2 Android Development] dnzbr:
What about D805/6?

I think they share same stacks and bootloader as d802 the difference is the modem/baseband

Problem is they don't have official LP yet.
[G2 Android Development] Nicholi85:
Lol as if it isn't confusing enough right lol lol
[G2 Android Development] joedajoester:
So the builds on CM's website is are to flash with these bootstacks? I just want to make sure before actually flashing.

Edit* I just want to add that it flashed with no issues, both the bootstack and the rom which I got from cm's site. Also, this rom is probably the smoothest rom I've been on out of all the sabermodded, optimized o2 garbage. Simplicity really is a beautiful thing (:

Thank you Rashed for all your hard work.
[G2 Android Development] Rashed97:
You need to flash these before flashing the new cm-12.1 builds
