Thats what she said
[Galaxy Note5 General] cajunaggie87:
The way I see it, if this is a design flaw, then it's also a design flaw to be able to insert a diesel pump nozzle into a gasoline tank. There is no legal reason for Samsung to replace devices other than to save face because of those who are incorrectly blaming this on them.
[Galaxy Note5 General] gfreek:
I have Note 5 64gb N920C manufacturing date 08/10/2015 and same like yours the s-pen will not insert easily the wrong way unless you apply some brute force, so as it is you are unlikely to insert it wrong way accidentally .

Wonder if Samsung quietly did some minor modification?

Hi please help. My wife's note 5 s pen The push button stocked inside. My 2 yr old son put it on the wrong way and he pulled it again now the push button stocked. How to fix it? Can the warranty will repair it?

Update. S pen was removed. But sensor is but working anymore. Will the warranty cover the fix?
[Galaxy Note5 General] @home:
Don't put it in the the wrong way round, it's so we'll documented. Wbu is your child playing with your phone¿

Sorry but I have no sympathy
[Galaxy Note5 General] ozaghloul:
Your sympathy is entirely irrelevant and not sought after. Samsung is responsible for a serious design flaw and will pay for their mistake.
[Galaxy Note5 General] @home:
How can it be a design fault when more people haven't had any problem than those that have?

I'm with Samsung, if your not alert enough to know your putting it the wrong way tough.

yeah. plugged in the charger and the phone cause a fire cus you didn't unplug the cord when battery is 100% full.

Been sold a dodgy s6? Expedite Electronics

Hi guys,

Yesterday I recived a S6 from Expedite Electronics. It is suppose to be new. It looked new but I noticed it had SuperSU installed.... Its been rooted. Also I was only downloading a couple of apps whilst browsing and the phone got red hot. The battery was also draining at a phenomenal rate.

How do I take it completely back to stock? I unistalled supersu and tried a factory reset, that took me to a black screen which amougst other things said 'dm-verity verification failed'. What does this mean? Have I been sold a dodgy phone?

I would like to keep the phone but I just want it not to burn my hand off and the battery to last more than 2 hours.

I'm not bothered about having it rooted. I dabbled with it on my old phone but never really grasped what it was all about.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tonesav:
Sounds like you got a returned one that's not been checked I would contact the store and get it replaced
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elpindian:
Yeah definitely got a used one that someone returned. Good luck getting a replacement though as they'll probably not believe that you received it rooted ..
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikem1989:
I paid via Paypal..... I'm going to open a case.

I'm not bothered about keeping it if I could revert it to stock. Cos I cba with the hassel of returns.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snowby123:
If you can't get it replaced, just unroot using odin
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikem1989:

Check the Knox status too. If it's 0x0 then all good.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikem1989:
It reads KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 1 (0X0500)

What does that mean?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snowby123:
It means if you try to get a warranty replacement, you are out of luck.

Every smartphone comes with a 1 year warranty, but root voids the warranty.

On Samsung phones KNOX is a piece of software baked into the bootloader.

When KNOX reads 0x0 your warranty remains intact;

if it read 0x1, or anything else, your warranty is void; It is much harder to replace :(
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadaress1:
Send it back. As its been rooted the knox has been triggered which might void warranty and samsung pay wont work when its launched, u paid for a brand new phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikem1989:
I'd better get it sent back then, this is supposed to be a Brand New phone. Obviously not.

Just so people know. This phone was from online company Expedite Electronics. To be fair, they are cheap...... but this is probably the reason why!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snowby123:
When you send it back, do not tell them it is rooted.

Tell them it was not in the condition you were told it would be in.

This is one reason why I may never buy a smartphone online.

When I buy one in person, I can closely inspect it before handing over the cash.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikem1989:
Ah, too late :/

I have already lodged a complain. Telling them it has arrived with SuperSU installed, which raised my suspicion, then I found out it was rooted and knox had been tripped.

Have I dropped a bollack there!

This is not of my making, I hope Paypal backs me up on this one. I did lodge a complaint within 24 hours of receiving the phone.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadaress1:
You should be ok. Paypal usually always go in favour of the buyer. Im in the UK and theyve been really good with me, never had a problem.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikem1989:
UPDATE: I returned the phone about 2 week ago now. I cannot get in touch with Expedite Electronics so I opened a case with Paypal. For reasons I cannot fathom, Paypal sided with expedite even though I provided all the information they asked for and Expedite did not even respond!

It looks like I'm £450 out of pocket. Gutted isn't the word.

Just writing this so hopefully people Googling them will find it and maybe it will stop other people from dealing with this horrible company.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BogiYear:
It sounds like you were very unlucky. I also bought my S6 Edge from Expedite Electronics for £388 (32MB) and it was in a sealed Samsung box and was definitely brand new.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raistlin1158:
Sounds like a job for the small claims court
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadaress1:
So they have your money and your phone now? Id class that as theft then, im surprised PayPal didnt go in your favour. I bought a S6 Edge off a seller on Ebay the guy didnt pay hes contract bill with 02 so the phone was blocked, id gone past the 45 days protection with Paypal, Ebay didnt give a damn. Paypal surprisingly helped me out and i got a refund after sending phone back tracked which PayPal had requested.

Im really sorry they weren't as helpful with you. Did Paypal request that you send the phone back to the seller? Because usually they would only request that if they sided with you.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikem1989:
Yes they requested I send it back. I sent it back. I sent it Royal Mail Special Delivery. I then uploaded the tracking number and receipt. A couple of days later they settled in the sellers favour because 'my return evidence was unacceptable' .

I've absolutely no idea what they are talking about. They have yet to replied to my email. I'm going to phone them.

But Expedite did actually reply to me today after a week of no communication. They said they have been having email problems and are looking into my refund.

Fingers crossed!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jadaress1:
Yeh hope u get a refund, goodluck :thumbup:
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drsn0w:
Hello!

I just picked up my M9 from the T-Mobile store an hour ago, and I absolutely love it. My only issue so far is, it gets noticeably hot when doing trivial tasks such as texting... I've read articles which say that this device does indeed get hot sometimes, but it seems a little odd that it would be occurring when there's not much of a load on the phone.... Should I go back to T-Mobile and replace it as defective?

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] dejireru:
how do I replace my actual system/app folder for a backup safely?

I want to make sure things won't go like this again, also sorry for the wall of text beforehand

My phone is the LG Optimus G AT&T and I'm using the stock 4.1.2 rom

I tried to install a status bar for a stock based ROM and a lock icon removal on my stock rom but it didn't work as expected. It messed up some things and the systemui kept notifying me that it stopped working every few seconds. The zip files I flashed supposedly installed a few files inside said folder but I'm not sure which files nor if it edited other files so I want to replace it completely to not have any problem. thing is, I'm not sure of how to proceed here, do I just wipe it with an explorer and then paste the back up there, or will that break my phone again? do I push the backup with adb command prompt after deleting the folder? Is there another option?

I'm not sure if this info is helpful at all but I thought you guys might need to take it into account, just in case

I'm also not sure of which category is the right one, since it's my first post in this forum, though I've been lurking around for quite a while

I tweaked the system apps a bit before screwing up, and deleted the AT&T bloatware that nobody uses, also replaced the stock launcher with nova as a system app. having only 1 launcher caused a huge mess after trying to fix things by replacing the contents the folder with a copy of the backed apps.

First I replaced all 4 files with the name "systemui.apk/odex" and "LGsystemui.apk/odex". then I tried to replace the whole folder by moving things and I accidentally checked the "apply this action for all files" option (or something along those lines) while overwriting them, which probably caused nova launcher to stop working and rebooted my phone automatically. then I spent 2 hours trying to figure out what was wrong with the phone because I couldn't do anything, just open the settings through the status bar and it turned out I had to reinstall nova launcher outside system by sending the apk to myself through email to not get in that mess again, and now I'm here, a little desperate to know what can I do to not screw my phone up.

Thank you
[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] computerizing:
Hi all,

I've finally bought an Android phone after years of iOS use, but unfortunately it's a Chinese version and I can't get Google apps to work. I rooted the phone, and tried copying the apk files that I downloaded from apkmirror to the system/app folder using Root Explorer, but unfortunately that didn't work. I also used Google installer which seems to be used regularly in the Xiaomi community, but that didn't work either. Whatever I do, I keep on getting an error message saying "Unfortunately, Google Play services has stopped" over and over again. When I try to log in to the play store I get an error saying that the phone can't connect to the Google server.

I have absolutely no idea what else to try. Does anyone have any suggestions? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I ended up bricking my phone trying to get a custom recovery on it and said screw it and got the Moto G 2015.

This is the US AT&T and it's running android lollipop 5.1. Right now it's stuck on bootloop more or less, when I boot it up AT&T says it detects unauthorized software and to take it to the nearest help center or whatever.

I'm wondering if anyone's interested in it for development purposes or whatever? I'm willing to give it away for the cost of shipping or if it's worth anything to you, you can feel free to offer payment for it i guess? It is a decent phone outside of all of AT&T's stupid bull****.

Hope this isn't against the rules to post or anything. I don't really care about trying to make money off this, it just seems like an awful waste of a perfectly good phone if someone with more know-how than me can easily fix it and maybe better the dev community for it.

Feel free to let me know

Hey man, just wondering if this offer is still on the table? I noticed you mentioned it was running 5.1... was that a custom ROM? Any idea if the bootloader is unlocked?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] Tazzypillar:
It is still on the table, the thing is just lying around. I made a mistake saying it was running 5.1 though, it HAD been running the latest version of cyanogenmod months ago but eventually I needed to return it to stock for something dumb and when I tried to switch back, I bricked it.

The phone was rooted and I'm PRETTY SURE I managed to unlock the bootloader, but it's possible I may have messed that up because I bricked it while trying to flash a custom recovery. The phone still boots into download mode so I figure someone crafty enough with a better ability to figure out what files are required could fix it with ODIN or something.

It works only for one touch and you should always press on/of button to engage this one touch.:(

Mine does the same thing. I have to grab it and sort of flexing it to put tension on the board (Iguess) and than works while I am squeezing it. After i release it it works for a while but once I put it down on the table and leave it for a few minutes it'll stop working again. I think it some sort of connection problem I am gonna take it apart and check the board circuit board for dry solder or cracked soldering points. Can't think of anything else.

can you open your device

I had it taken apart and there was no sand or any debris there. I had not checked the yellow tape but I 'll take it apart again and see if it'll help. I still think it's just a connection issue.
