[Galaxy S6 General] Pratz852:
Don't you get stutters/lags with recent apps for example? That's been for me with every sammy, it is quick if you do it several times, but the first time after using the phone for a bit, it takes time or stutters. Never had that problem on My nexus 4, it's buttery smooth there. Can't believe they are having such a hard time getting that right...

I agree and there are tests showing that touchwiz does enhance android and makes it quicker in processing certain things, which was really surprising for me. (E.g. downloading and opening PDF was an example, which took longer on the nexus)

I was really undecided this time and considering an iPhone which before a year I would have deemed impossible and even now people were shocked hearing me considering an iphone.

I mean few years ago I enjoyed tinkering with my phone and optimising it to the T. kernels, Roms, goveners etc.

But now paying so much for a flagship and doing the work of the OEM seems to be a dreadful thought and I think it should work flawless out of the box!

And now with phones not having significant updates anymore or which just show on paper (specs) and don't translate into real world benefits is annoying.

Iphone has caught up with all the necessary functions since the ip5s and getting a new device you can just get your old settings and app Data without rooting (icloud) or having up to 4 years of updates OTA without playing around and flashing stuff just seems to be a more pleasant experience. Or not worrying if my phone will get an update after a year and then wait for ages till the oem customises android with their skin.

It's such a pain that you can't transfer appdata without root.. and I can't believe it's still not possible.

On top of that apps on iPhone just have to be optimised for a few devices and are specifically made for them and have to be able to run for a 100 different devices...

I've never owned an iphone, but I guess my preferences are changing and it seems more compelling to get that kind of experience.

But the Geek in me just couldn't justify buying a phone with outdated specs e.g. 1 gig of ram , dual core (iphone 6). If the iPhone 6s with 2gb of ram would have been out I would gave probably jumped ship and got it. I'm tired of troubleshooting my phone and having to set up everything, debloat and optimise to have an acceptable battery life. Or after factory reset or changing phones

For example if I have my phone screen off I don't want my phone to do any **** and drain my battery in the background. And to use greenify for that is kind of stupid... if the iPhone screen is off, It's sleeping and conserves battery life. With android you have some kind of wakelock and I've developed a kind of phobia to check if something is draining my battery?

Wow I just wrote another huge essay[emoji85]
[Galaxy S6 General] jetbruceli:
Recent app isnt that big of a lag compared the less than impressive everything the nexus device offer. They dont offer USB OTG, a good camera app, multiwindow, notification panel is boring and many others. In fact if you never had an iPhone samsung's touchwhiz is very close to the same. I mean they know eachother are the kings of flagships so that why they look closey alike. iPhones however are smooth but that because there is so much under the hood making it that way. One of the biggest disadvantages with Apple is the lack of using anything other than apple. Like file sharing is not an apple thing, not even dragging your favorite video onto the device without using iTunes. I use dentex youtube downloader for android and with apple its not an option at all. Also samsung's built in screen mirror and caster is great.

If you flash a custom kernel or custom recovery via ODIN or any other way it will trip knox. If you use ODIN to flash a firmware it will not trip knox. I have the 920FD and I flashed the french (XEF) COH2 firmware (for 920F) and it did not trip knox. I tripped knox when I flashed TWRP using ODIN in order to flash a custom ROM. I hope that helps.

Also, you can use any 920F firmware for your dual SIM 920FD.

Just remember you cannot flash back to an older firmware after you update.
[Galaxy S6 General] Jhayzt:
Alright. I'll give it a try. The only thing that worries me is me messing up things. Its like I went back to being a noob. XD Woudn't it mess up the radio frequency of the device?
[Galaxy S6 General] aydc:
When you flash a firmware with a different CSC to your phone, like when you flash the new XEF rom to a phone with a different region code, doesn't it mess things up? Shouldn't you first change your CSC?

Living in Ireland here. Haven't had any OTAs after the first 5.1.1 update. Tried few other stock roms (French, UK and german) and from all the 3 I can say that the German one makes the phone have better battery life, and it's no placebo effect. I feel that the UK one was heating the phone compared to the rest and even though the French one was quite good I can say I'm super happy with the German one. S6 here :)

[Galaxy S6 General] Puderzo:
Got this (COH2) on NEE (Nordic Countries) today. But multitasking still sucks: with 4 apps open it works fine, but after opening the fifth and switching back to the first it has to reload. Sure, there seems to be more free ram when running the same applications as before, but that's totally irrelevant as that was never the issue anyway. Oh, and the wallpaper parallax effect that the last update broke is now working again, and the Samsung icons are now round-ish. Still sucks.

I've got hboot 1.57, 4.4.4., and the latest CM11 nightly. Unlocked bootloader, S-ON. I'm trying to flash the RUU_M7_UL_L50_SENSE60_MR_Cingular_US_7.23.502.1_Radio_4M.32.3218.06_10.46.1718.01L_release_424933_signed_2 rom update from the HTC website. I keep getting an error 155 that it isn't the right rom image for my phone. I'm assuming I need to relock my bootloader for the update to take? Do I need to go back to full stock? I've googled a ton and cannot find an easy way to relock my bootloader. I'm not sure if it matters, but I no longer have the stock HTC usb cable so i'm using one that came with a dell windows tablet. Thanks for any help.

S on u need to lock the bootloader . Google adb command to lock bootloader or use a tool that does it for you.

Thanks, i got the bootloader locked. I tried to flash the rom and it got stuck at step 1/6 Sending for over an hour. I'm going to retry after uninstalling htc sync and running in xp compatibility mode. If that doesn't work I'll try extracting the rom.zip and manually flashing it with fastboot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neptune3nl:
hello,

After installing NeatROM 6.4, I am not able to restore the CWM backup of Jelly Bean 4.1.2.

A CWM restore of the Cyanogenmod 10.1.3, works fine though.

When restoring the JB backup, I get a boot loop on the logo.

Even after doing a wipe data/factory reset and wipe Dalvik cache, still the bootloop.

It was possible to flash the stock ROM (both ICS and JB), so phone is back to normal.

Just want to know if anybody came across this issue and what might be the cause if it and how can one resolve it.

Many thanks for your help.

regards,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noppy22:
Backups don't always work. The best way to restore stock is to download the stock rom for your region from sammobile.com or one of the other sites with stock firmware and flash it via odin.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neptune3nl:
OK. That could make sense. But I restored the JB Backup several times, before I installed NeatROM.

Could it be that a directory was changed / deleted / overwritten during the installation of NeatROM, thus giving me the bootloop?

I'm not sure what could have happened, but I always have a copy of the stock rom in .tar.md5 format so if I get into trouble I can always go into download mode and rescue my phone with odin......

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shyshan:
Greetings all,

I'm in a predicament and hope someone can help. I've tried browsing forums on XDA/other sites, implemented some suggestions, but nothing seems to work.

I have a camera that is connected to my laptop that streams live video (sort of a make-**** surveillance system). I want to access this stream externally. The camera supports DDNS, and has been enabled. I have software installed on my laptop to auto-update the ip. However, in order to view this video externally, I need to find a way to open up some ports (as defined by the camera) when tethering from my rooted note 2 on T-Mobile: 8554 (for RTSP), and 8000(server). According to canyouseeme.org, these ports are blocked. The two other ports that are needed for this setup, 443 (HTTPS), and 80 (HTTP), seem to be working fine. Please note that I have DDNS enabled for this setup.

Some forums suggested using a VPN. So I tried. I enabled privateinternetaccess (they have their own app) on my phone, but then my computer won't connect to the internet (note that tethering is still active). When I use PIA's Windows software, the computer connects via the VPN but no difference is made in terms of the ports being opened, etc.

HowardForums suggested using a proxy/SOCKS. I configured my note 2 to use a proxy server via an app, but then the same thing happens: the computer won't connect to the internet.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Port forwarding, etc? I know this is a lot, but any help is much appreciated. If I left anything out/can answer any questions, please let me know. Thanks again.

Complete Kernel Source Code is essential for building rom from scratch

what lenovo did it give us incomplete Code missing the important files and directories and hide the essential part

Lenovo should release kernel source in full, so we can look after our self

Kernel development doesn't take place unless we get the device's schematics and its corresponding defconfig.

Lenovo has hidden the caf tag inside the firmware. there is matching qcom caf kernel tag for the same chipset. But without the schematics of the device, we couldn't proceed in developing

until now the official source is incomplete

but some developers trying to fill the gaps from similar devices you can find these builds on github

here is the last source kernel from lenovo and github

kernel boot issue

Hi,

Here is the issue i'm facing.

I created a new image from the KK stock kernel + the missing parts , repacked it the boot.img from the stock rom.

When i do

fastboot boot new-boot.img

the phone reboots and mounts the system partition and couple of other internal partitions with no display.

Do you know these symptoms?

Any Idea what could be going wrong here?

On the other note,

the LP source code compile good without any issues at all, but I'm using stock KK so there is NO room for to make tries with it.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvcadle:
Hello all. I have a problem that is not unique, but I cannot for the life of me seem to fix it.

My S6 will not stay connected to my PC so I can transfer files, use Kies, SmartSwitch, or anything. Sometimes I hear the Windows notification that it's plugged in, but even when I do, it goes back and forth between being recognized and not. Most of the time it doesn't even show up in Device Manager.

I'm currently running Windows 10, but it did the same thing on Windows 8.1.

I have downloaded the Samsung USB drivers as well as allowed Kies and SmartSwitch to install them.

Thinking my Windows 10 being upgraded from 8.1 without a full wipe carried over whatever problem was in 8.1, I did a full wipe of my PC and reloaded Windows 10 clean. That also didn't help. Note: when I first installed Windows 10 clean, my PC didn't recognize my phone at all. It just acted like a charger. After I installed the Samsung USB drivers, it started making the 'connecting' and 'disconnecting' sounds. Also, the most I got Windows to recognize my phone was for about 5 seconds, and that was right after turning off USB debugging. But with it on or off, it still won't stay connected.

And yes, I've made sure (when the phone has connected for a second or two) that it was on MTP. But... I've tried the camera mode as well.

This makes it not only impossible to move files easily between my phone and PC, but also to use Odin.

I've read many posts where people have this problem, but everyone just tells them to go download the Samsung USB driver, and after having done so three different ways, I can say it doesn't work for me.

Anyone who could solve this for me... well... I'd be willing to donate a bit of money to the cause of your choosing, including yourself.

Hello wvcadle,

I have the same issue and it is quite frustrating. Did you find a solution? As some additional info for you. My i-phone was doing the same thing on my computer. I thought it was the phone and I upgraded to a Samsung S6. It does the same thing as the I-phone, what you described and it works fine with other PCs. SO must be computer related. My bet is windows and my IT recommend a full wipe and reinstall of windows. We run Windows 7 Professional.
