Also, you cannot compare Samsung to Apple. Apple is a dictator when it comes to selling their phones. There are many accounts over the years of carriers backing out of their deals with Apple because of their lack of compassion. Their dictatorship has one or two perks though...it allows them to skip carrier verification and push updates to all customers at the same time through their servers. For the rest of us, it drives prices higher, their products almost never have price drops, they almost never offer any deals or bundles...

Only one company has been able to make Apple fold, China Mobile that has taken years to negotiate a deal with apple, mostly on their terms, but when you have the biggest market in the world under one roof, i guess being a dictator doesnt always work

Have to say goodbye to my mda pro. Was bought a month ago and is in Mint conditon..with no marks or scratches. Was bought as an insurance replacement so is practically new condition. I've listed it on ebay if anyones interested. I've put Laurentius' WM6 rom and its working fine so far. Pm or email me if anyone has any questions.

I'm open to reasonable offers also. Currently I've set the price at £199.00 with free postage to the UK.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] helikido:
I've played with all Note5's and Edge + phones on display and all of them had screen "flickering" present on high brightness and a white background, like the YouTube search feed or browser home page. It kinda seemed annoying, and I was wondering if you guys see it too. Everyone that I pointed it out to, saw the flickering. It's not bothersome, but I am wondering if it can get annoying under lower brightness conditions, during the night for example. It did seem more prominent on the edge+, but its visible on the note too. All the display model note 4's and s6's did not have such an issue.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] silverbladef:
No flickering here, but my brightness is set on half or a little higher than that.

I have T-Mobile and recently purchased an unlocked, brand new S5 that is AT&T branded - the box, case say ATT and it has some ATT apps on it. It appears to work fine on T-Mobile. However, would it be better to purchase T-Mobile specific version and return AT&T one? The price is about the same.

Thanks!

Well I need to buy a case for my galaxy s6. The priority is the security (expecially for drops) but I also would like an beauty case. I want an screen protector to the screen and to the back what you advice me? I heard the tempereted screen protector heating up the phone this is true? You notice a big difference on the temperature?

So, what's the best option... can we still buy T-Mobile S6E+ outright, unlock it, and use it on AT&T...or is the international version a better way to go?

I use Tasker to run several scripts and a boat load of other stuff that requires root...

I've looks at some other devices but if I can get a rootable Samsung working on att, that's what I'd prefer to upgrade to...

AT&T S4 i337 > SafeRoot > SafeStrap 3.71 > HyperDrive RLS12

Tasker-ized

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kayfanx:
Hi XDA,

I've owned an Xperia Z3 (D6603) since Nov 2014 on contract that came with Android 4.4.4 where the phone worked perfectly.

As of Android 5.0.2 / 5.1, I've had a ton of problems with the phone.

I've had:

1) Frequent reboots of the phone by itself

2) App crashing frequently

3) Phone dialer app crashing when making and receiving calls

4) Music randomly not playing until I restart the device.

5) Inability to send a standard SMS to a single contact in my phone book

Device:

Sony Xperia Z3 D6603 16GB Black

Build number: 23.4.A.0.546

Android 5.1.1

Carrier: 3 UK

I have done a full factory reset twice and the issues still remain.

The SMS glitch is a really really odd one that I can't explain fully.

I go to one contact in my phone book, Tap the SMS option and it'll take me to the Messaging window and the text box at the bottom of the window doesn't appear for that single contact.

I have deleted and resaved the number and nothing helps.

Can anyone help with the above?

I'm short of getting in touch with 3 and sending the device back for repairs / replacement

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy Note5 General] danon.brown:
Without the volte enabled does that mean the calls won't have the little HD when calling another tmobile user?
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Probably. This is the first time I have had the option for voice over LTE on my phone so Im sure i wont miss what I never had. Im sure someone else here knows better than me, but I think HD voice is linked to Voice over LTE? The cell battery drain is a bug so if you dont have it, leave voice over lte enabled. Hopefully it gets fixed soon.
[Galaxy Note5 General] mallman:
it is, HD voice is VoLTE. And i agree about the drain. I talk on the phone so little i dont really care how clear it is as long as we can hear each other. The future of coice calls is VoLTE so hopefully it will be fixed before that ;)

I'm on the AT&T variant and am interested in the steps you mentioned. I guess maybe a bit of research will be required but do we know if TMO and AT&T share all of the same files or does one require more than the other. I am interested in getting your XML file but minus the TMO stuff. :D
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
No idea what is different between t mobile and at&t apps but PM me your email and I'll send XML file. You will probably have to go through your list of apps and pick out the at&t apps yu want disabled.

I actually just finished disabling everything manually with your list vs TMo/AT&T.. there are a small number of differences but most of your disabled services are full on android vs carrier specific (stating the obvious)

So far, so good, I'll be able to tell more after I do a full recharge on battery, now just waiting for it to dwindle down by the end of the day.

[Galaxy Note5 General] mocsab:
Thanks for your guide and the tips on Debloating - I usually use Titanium Backup - but can't for obvious reasons (yet) so this was a very welcome thread. The Ad blocker is also very good and works well -

Thanks for the tips - I haven't 'frozen" all of the apks that you did - but I did freeze the ones I don't use or want - and now I will run for a few days to see what sort of impact it has on battery - thanks again -
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
EDIT: not ready for prime time. Got stuck in boot loop. Stick with earlier version.

The new update for package disabler pro allows you to easily Google different apps to see which are safe to disable. Took some time doing this especially comparing some of the other Samsung scripts out there and disabled another 20 apps or so. Here is battery life from first 20% lost just while researching and the list from xml file. Not much idle time but so far so good, but I'll check for issues and adjust if needed.

Are you using touchwiz home launcher or 3rd party?
[Galaxy Note5 General] jsumma:
Touchwiz
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Awesome! That was it. It was the emergency launcher that it wanted to run and it was disabled so it freaked out. Works fine now. Running my extreme configuration and that was the only thing I enabled. Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Sorry guys I will take some time to update the packages in the first post.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Ok, big changes made to first post. There are now only two xml files - basic and extreme. Neither have com.sec.android.emergencylauncher disabled so Ultra power saving mode should work fine. Basic has 150 disabled apps but preserves most of the default apps and stuff, leaving a lot of apps that probably arent running in the background anyway. Extreme is my configuration of 245 disabled apps with some minor functionality missing and getting rid of most everything that can be gotten rid of safely.

BIG THANKS TO EVERYONE WHO HAS REPORTED ISSUES AND HELPED FINE TUNE THIS PROJECT!!!

I have one issue in fact. I re-enabled Instagram and Facebook. But... I'm not getting notifications correctly. Notifications show, but no vibration or ringer. Any idea how to solve this?
[Galaxy Note5 General] dandroid7:
I got this the other day... Not bad at all!
[Galaxy Note5 General] mindflayyer:
Thanks for this in depth guide. The basic XML file worked beautifully. I'll play more on my own with other packages if I feel it's even necessary. Already getting a huge improvement.!
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Hmmm. So you are able to get notification sounds from other apps, just not those two? Interesting. I will have a look.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
I don't use those apps but first suggestion would be make sure you enable com.facebook.appmanager and com.facebook.system.

If that doesn't work enable snsimagecache (probably something I should have had enabled on basic now that I'm thinking about it).
[Galaxy Note5 General] niftyguy239:
What is com.sec.imsservice? It's using 22mb of RAM..... I'm on a hunting party. After I've applied my own XML file, which got me 26.3 hours yesterday SOT was 9.3 hrs I'm hunting the stuff in Android system that ate 37% of my bat.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Haha, awesome. Be careful, it can be a dangerous addiction (but as long as you arent afraid of a factory reset or two, you should be fine :)). The IMS services are related to wifi calling and/or texting/mms over wifi. I use wifi calling so havent tried disabling it, but if you dont I would give it a try. I did disable IMS settings since it is a samsung app and doesnt appear to affect my ability to use the wifi calling functions.
[Galaxy Note5 General] niftyguy239:
Yeah. Verizon Messages+ uses that WiFi connection to send SMS and MMS via WiFi when I'm connected to it. That would explain the ram of it because I use it a lot. I'm just gonna say the one app Verizon made that works well, is Message+ its better in almost every way then Hangouts. Only missing feature is video calling within it. But that'll come eventually I hope.

In other news:

SOT 4 almost 5 hours and battery has more then 50% left. That's what I'm about. When season hits (snowbirds come down for the winter in Florida) and I'm running around the county like a chicken with my head cut off and not able to charge, this is perfect.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Actually I just tried disabling them (com.sec.ims, IMS service, ImsLogger+ in addition to IMS settings) and trying out wifi calling and texting and they seem to still be working fine. I guess I'll ride this out and see how it goes. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note5 General] niftyguy239:
I think I'm gonna play it safe on that one. It's obviously being used by something that I'm currently using.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Nice battery life! Im glad people are seeing a big difference. Oh ok, well people on verizon should keep it enabled then. Im on T mobile and using google messenger app and seems to work fine for me. Maybe I will try the samsung messenger and Hangouts next.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Nevermind. It was a delayed reaction. Disabling those broke wifi calling. No harm done, now we know.
[Galaxy Note5 General] swamp7:
I notice the com.samsung.android.email items are disabled. Are you not using the email app on the phone?
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Nope. I use gmail. And I don't use exchange so those are disabled as well.
[Galaxy Note5 General] swamp7:
Thanks. I do use exchange, as well as gmail and others, but I can do them all through gmail now, so may try both Samsung email and gmail app and see which impacts battery more. Note: I tried Outlook on the S6 several times over the last few months, and always ended up removing it because of battery drain.
[Galaxy Note5 General] eskimochaos:
I have an ATT version and checked pretty much all of the basic packages. The settings app has crashed twice on me. It re-opens fine but I did receive an error that settings has stopped working twice.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy Note5 General] martinezma99:
My guess is that you have something important disabled.

I'm on AT&T and have yet to have Settings crash on me even after importing multiple versions of xlm file.
[Galaxy Note5 General] eskimochaos:
I don't think it's too big of an issue. I disabled NFC on the phone itself and in the package disabler app. Settings crashes if i click on the NFC option within it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] rlsroufe:
Ok, I was running my extreme configuration and things were going well for the last couple days but phone started getting hot, tried to reboot and got stuck in a boot loop. Factory reset time. So I think I am gonna scale things back for the time being and focus on stability and getting back some features that I like. I really like the S pen and multiwindow so I re-enabled all of their functions. I listen to a lot of stuff on headphones and that adapt sound app correctly identified some early high frequency hearing loss in my left ear and corrects for that so I enabled that too :). Forgot to re-enable the emergency launcher for ultra power saving mode on the last extreme xml file too fixed. Went from 244 to 214 disabled apps. More stuff running in the background so battery life probably not as good but Im hoping it is a lot more stable. For those that want to continue living on the edge you can use the screenshot in the first post that shows the 250 apps you can probably safely disable.
[Galaxy Note5 General] AndroidmanFTW:
Thanks for the helpful info. Please keep us updated on your stability. I ran the extreme version but made several tweaks to it. I am at 204 disabled apps at the moment. I will report back if I have any heating issues or severe instability. Also wanted to mention settings force closed when accessing email related options since default email is disabled. I may enable it later.

EDIT: Here is how i got the FC. Follow these steps in settings: Settings/sounds and notifications/ring tones and sounds/email notifcations.

---------- Post added at 02:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:09 AM ----------

I will be posting screen shots soon of the battery life I am getting once i reach 70% capacity. Seems very good so far.☺
