[LG G Watch R] xzyk:
As I'm sure many of you have heard by now Google announced Android Wear on ios this week (start of sept 15) but apparently this first iteration will only work with a few smartwatches. One of those mentioned was the urbane and since ours is basically same hardware I was wondering if anyone has managed to get this to work yet ? Yes I know this means admitting that you have a different phone that is NOT an android but Android Wear is android so it is a valid question. thanks.

UPDATE: Looks like the discussion has already started see here http://xdaforums.com/android-wear/development/android-wear-ios-connectivity-t3052524/page106 post#1060 onwards...
[LG G Watch R] artesea:
The watch requires Wear 1.3 to talk to iOS. It's this reason the older watches aren't "supported" because without an Android phone connecting to them first they'll never get the update.

Mine works fine with iPhone 6 (IOS 8.4.1)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] djae3000:
I am an current iPhone user and is now making the switch to Android, could someone please shed some light on which phone I should choose. Thanks for your time! :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] tallazzPilipino:
first off, what's your preference in screen size? either way the S6/e will have a larger screen than the iP6. with the N5/S6e+, you can always turn this feature on...

View attachment 3459660

...if you're used to iPhones. but if you're used to, and want to stick to, a smaller physical handset, the S6/e are the obvious choices.

if you're wanting to get into the stylus, then your only option is the N5.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] djae3000:
I prefer larger screen sizes. I also used to really big into Android development when eclair 2.0.1 came out.:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] tallazzPilipino:
well, wb...

I personally say forget the S6e+ and get the N5. stylus, stylus, stylus! even if you won't use it much, at least it's there. and the N5 is supposed to cost less.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] djae3000:
Do you own a S6?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] tallazzPilipino:
both the S6e (not +) and the N5 duos...

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] djae3000:
Which one do you find more comfortable in hand? Which one do you use more?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] tallazzPilipino:
the S6e definitely feels better in the hand especially now with my particular battery case. and I have hands on the larger side - i'm over 6'5". however, I have weak eyes, so naturally the N5 is easier to look at. also, I live off the stylus. when you're constantly dealing with people and need to demonstrate something by showing a screenshot, the N5 takes it further by allowing you to freely crop as you capture something off screen and/or instantly let you diagram something by drawing or writing on your screenshot. at least that's how I tend to use it, and very frequently, too.

watching videos will be a better experience on the M5 of course. things do look ad more sharper on the S6e, but it's negligible. when taking pictures, I prefer handling my smaller S6e. also, when i actually do use them as a phone, I prefer holding my S6e.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirosaw2:
Hey guys,

I got this desire 516 with "unfortunately FC" messages,

And since i couldn't find more than 1 indian firmware, i had no choice to flash it,

After flashing the firmware phone is working fine and the "FC" messages gone,

Only one thing is missing, the IMEI, both are "null",

I tried to fix that problem by flashing modem, modemst1 and modemst2 from the firmware, but that dodn't helped at all,

So, can someone please help me fix that problem?,

Thx in advance.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirosaw2:
Problem Solved,

By flashing modem, modemst1 and modemst2,

Phone still shows null for both IMEI,

Although, phone can detect SIM and make calls,

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] GuestK00456:
With all the news about Samsung Pay at the moment, it's interesting to note that the Samsung Pay Beta page says you have to have a card from Bank of America, or another specific bank, in order to be able to use SP. What I don't get is, why does it only work with certain banks? Samsung confirmed they've partnered with Visa and MasterCard, so why wouldn't a Wells Fargo Visa, for example, work? What is it about the fact that a Visa debit card is issued by X bank vs Y bank that makes it incompatible? From the beta testers who have reported about how Samsung Pay works, you just scan the card, enter the relevant details, and *boom*, Samsung Pay is ready to work its magic.

Any thoughts/explanations?

**I'll also note that something else that confused me about the media's reporting of Samsung Pay was that, up until a few weeks ago, almost all the media was saying "Will SP be able to beat Apple Pay?" or "Will Samsung Pay catch on?" I felt like I was the only one who had actually watched the Samsung keynote and heard the part about "Samsung Pay will be backwards compatible with existing checkout stands via magnetic technology," and thus I wasn't in the least bit worried about "whether Samsung Pay will actually work." So, part of me wants to just chalk up the statement that it only works with certain banks to technological more misunderstanding on the part of the media…except for the fact that Samsung themselves said it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] ScottyNuttz:
I think it is just the beta that is limited by a certain bank. If not, this whole thing will be DOA.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmorterlaing:
Hiya,

So I bought one on eBay and I THINK it's real - but I want to be sure. Is there any easy way of telling? The main reason's I'm worried are the few things that irked me slightly - 1: it's apparently from 'Singtel', and had a 'My Singtel' bloatware app - which is annoying either way. 2: The Google search bar seems to have a slightly different font - but that could be because it's an international version or something? There's also a spelling mistake in the 'battery info' pane on the settings - but again, I'm wondering if this is just because of where the phone's from. EIther way, that's very annoying, now that I've seen it - do you think Samsung would release a patch or is this Singtel version going to rely on Singtel to send updates (ie, I won't get them from Samsung OTA until Singtel have 'cleared' them?).

FYI I can compare it to my definitely real (well, should be!) O2 store bought S6.

Samsung doesn't mis-print. It's a fake.

Easy, do a antutu test, if it's lower than 60k, it's fake
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stesteste:
download phone info play store that tells you
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mildj84ns:
Download cpu-z app from Play Store and take a look at your hardware info, run Geekbench or Antutu, Geekbench should be around 5000, and Antutu around 60000, plus both apps will show your hardware info.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmorterlaing:
CPU-Z is saying its a 'Samsung Exynos processor' Octa, 7420. 2.10 Ghz

Phone Info says the Model is SM-G928I, device type zenlte, made in Vietnam

Geekbench 3 gives it Multi core of 5225

Antutu gives it 69145

So it seems legit... that spelling mistake in settings is odd though???

As long as it's legit I plan on flashing a rom asap anyway, so I guess it's 'nationality' doesn't matter at that point, right?

When I contacted the seller the response was this:

'Usually for new release products we will take from around the world the ensure we have enough quantity to satisfy demand, and for our customers to get the latest products. therefore in this case some were collected from Singapore hence the singtel. for this we believe the matter is small because now a day most devices comes with 32gb or above, therefore even the network provider provides some preinstalled apps our customers will still have many space to play with. moreover a mobile requires network operators so there is some such apps anyway

with the box being opened, it is culture we found best to do, especially for newly released items, you will never know if the manufacturer have accidentally manufactured a faulty product to come the release date, so we open the box to ensure basic functions, calls, network connections etc are functional before giving it to you to avoid returns because the manufacturer produced a faulty product

lastly the information spell error, we really did not know. However upon your question, we checked our stock, samsung and googled, we found that it is a common problem amongst the first batch of release. Samsung Singapore informed us that they realised this silly issue and will correct this upon the next firmware update. '

-so does this mean (without flashing) I'm dependant on Samsung Singapore, even though I'm in the UK? Would that slow down updates/ cause me issues do you think?

Thanks :D
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mildj84ns:
You can always flash some other stock firmware with Odin, your phone supports all stock firmwares from all mobile operators from Singapore, Australia and New Zealand, so pick one, they can't all have that spelling error.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmorterlaing:
Thanks for the response! Just a question (or three :S)

Does flashing official firmware in this way trip knox?

How do you know which regions firmware my phone supports?

Will it inhibit me at all that it's not a European model?

And if I flash an Australian one, for example, will it cause me signal worries or anything? Thanks :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mildj84ns:
No, flashing firmware with Odin will not trip Knox.

I know because "I" model is for those regions, Australia, Singapore and New Zealand,

Here you can find all firmwares supported by your model:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G928I/

I presume that you don't have any signal problems with Singaporean firmware, so i don't think you'll have any problems with any other firmware from that region, since they all are using the same modem.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmorterlaing:
Thanks so much! Last question (promise!) Is there firmware/ region of firmware choice likely to make a difference to when updates are rolled out?

:D
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mildj84ns:
Yeah, sure, but you can't know which one of them will push update first, and it doesn't really matter, because when the new update is out you can also download it from Sammobile and flash it with Odin, like most people often do. Till recently i had Galaxy S5, 900F model, and when last year Samsung pushed 5.0 update, Poland was the first European country to get it, so i just downloaded Polish 5.0 firmware and flashed it with Odin.

Good to know - I'm now pretty much certain it's not fake, just a rare situation! Take a screenshot - it might be useful at some point....

Clearly they do - did you see the amount of tests I did on the first page of this thread? If it IS a fake Samsung, then it's the best fake ever. Same camera spec (I grabbed photo exif data), same antutu and geekbench scores, very good build quality etc.

I had an update on my device yesterday eve that fixed it, which makes me a LOT happier. Again, if it IS a fake, then who are rolling out OTA updates? :D
[ZenFone 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greentag:
Z551ML 2GB version.

Put a temp root on the phone (has been restarted since), and went to update today and it bootlooped on me. I tried to fix it numerous ways and it has only gotten worse.

Bootloader and HW Ver show nothing on Fastboot screen.

Tried to fastboot new img files, but now it just goes to the dying android with a red triangle.

Tried to do Un-Tethered TWRP and flash a new ROM, same thing.

I have no access to ADB, only fastboot.

Nothing but dying little android with red triangle no matter what I do.

I was tinkering with the notion that maybe the bootloader is locked, and that's why it won't take the flashed ROMs?

IDK. Seriously need help, please?

I see an OC5 on swappa. Can I root and update to OF3 securely with this? What is the least time consuming to root?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] stonecold36067:
When you root it let me know i have the at&t s5 on lollipop been told its unrootable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] est.mcmlxxvii:
I used one click root for the root. But the bootloader stays locked on at&t s5, so their are two options that i know of. One, use odin and the correct tar to unlock it which is risky, or use an app called safestrap. Thats what I did.

---------- Post added at 11:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:04 PM ----------

Stonecold. I believe you have to revert back to 4.4.2 to root. But it can be done.

---------- Post added at 11:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

I believe you have to revert to 4.4.2 to root. But it can definitely be rooted. I have an at&t s5 with superuser. I used one click root for the root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] stonecold36067:
It wont downgrade
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] est.mcmlxxvii:
My baseband is ng3. I had sucess using oneclick. But I am still on kitkat. Research how to use odin3 to revert your phone. I think I read something about that. Revert then root. Its impossible to root a phone unless on stock rom. Well, I believe it is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] zetsui:
revert my phone to what? Your language is very ambiguous.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ttom85:
If you didn't have root before OTA 5.0 (Lollipop) you can't go back, you can't use safestrap, can't use Odin AND CANT ROOT YET. A locked loader won't allow you to use Odin to flash, and no root means can't get safestrap.. 1 click root only works before OTA 5.0 UPDATE. There is always a way but not yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] zetsui:
So if I root before then, then update to a custom Lollipop ROM I am good?

Also please hit REPLY
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ttom85:
There are a few threads on here how to get root, then upgrade to lollipop and keep root. Then you can still use safestrap to change loaders and roms. Safestrap just simply interupts the boot sequence(before the loader). I'm guessing once you upgrade, your loader will be locked also, so to change anything you'll have to have a back up on safestrap with the previous version, and unlocked loader... so you can go back and forth. I'm not sure of everything possible since my lazy ass never got root access before the update, so I'm sol for now. I'm planning on getting a new phone soon and giving this s5 to my wife anyway. :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] zetsui:
Safestrap because it comes before the bootloader? Why not TWRP? Does twrp not come before the bootloader? Man I don't want anything to have to do with bootloaders again 3 years of solid rooting and dev experience and two GS3s in one day to ****ing updating the bootloader
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Rakuu:
Bootloader is and has been locked, safestrap was the only recovery we had because it wasn't a traditional recovery in the sens that it didn't replace the stock one. With lollipop it broke, if you downgrade your kernel you can get it to work, but other than that you have to use flashfire which is not a recovery but simply a flashing tool. Twrp and any other recovery will not work, and any non-touchwiz based roms(aosp, aokp, cm) will not work, you have to use only touchwiz based ones and no custom kernels.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] zetsui:
no aosp at all or just non-touchwiz aosp wont work? man **** samsung and att. i mean this was the entire allure of the phone say over an iphone. Seems like so many constraints for flashing compared to the GS3. Retarded.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] bebeloneovvl:
I've been using this phone for a week now, and I think this has been the longest time I've kept a new phone non-rooted. One of the main advantages of rooting in the past was debloating, but I've been using the package disabler app and it has given me the ability to debloating and disable over 150 apps, and the battery life so far has been great! (Coming from N4). I know is a little early for a stable release of a stable custom rom but one of the main reasons for my Oscar the ability to use Samsung Pay. So far, the phone feels super fast, de bloated and a very strong battery life (around 5 to 6 hours of SOT). I don't think I will be rooting any time soon. Let's see down the road....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] pipergca:
I'm right there with you man. The only thing I was really missing was an adblocker but I found adguard and its been working great. Only irritating thing about that is the stupid VPN icon stays in the notification. So far this phone is crazy fast doing anything and GREAT battery life.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] MrAwesome75:
Totally agree. I'm also using package disabler and it has given me amazing battery life and disabled the crap I normally remove when I'm rooted. With the theme engine on the phone, and the amazing performance I don't feel the need to root.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] TheUndertaker21:
Root is a must for me. I have adaway, Pandora which can be obtained without root, xposed apps, titanium backup, ability to remove crap from my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Elysian893:
Titanium Backup is good, but Helium served all my needs when I moved from my Z3 to the Note 5, without having to root. I disabled apps on my phone and hid the ones I couldn't disable, without root.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Karakoram2:

Id not have access to my beloved Lucky Patcher though. I love installing modded apks over the play store ones and back again without having to uninstall lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] TheUndertaker21:
Disabling is just hide the app from your drawer. Nothing special you have apps that are using your space
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Elysian893:
Have you looked at the size of the things you disable? Most of them are tiny.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] lildoggs:
I also use to root and install custom roms because I wanted to increase performance and battery life to my device but with this phone is don't feel the need to. After disabling a few apps I've noticed memory consumption has gone down and as far as battery life. I use to get good battery life before so I'm expecting this to give me better battery life as well. I've also blocked all the ads and I'm very happy.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] TheUndertaker21:
rooting a must for me either way. If i can't delete whatsapp and install whatsapp plus then that's a problem.

If i don't want certain apps i should have ability to delete them not just disable them

the size may be small but it is still space on my device
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] Android_Monsters:
Take it to a shop if you're having trouble. I can steer you in the right direction.

Or I'll hold your hand while you do it.

Only trouble I had on 1st try is that the team win recovery got overwritten by the phone once I had the custom kernel and before I had supersu. So I just reflashed the team win recovery and flashed supersu.

WiFi never better. We've done 100 so far.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note5] barfingmonkey:
Thanks for package disabler. I usually root as well. One thing that did jump out at me was, after I disabled all the things I normally freeze, my ram usage was the same. But I guess the main benefit is that the unused apps won't fire up and consume battery unnecessarily.

You should get a kick back from package disabler!

Ever since I upgraded to Windows Mobile 6, I have two big problems with using a Bluetooth headset with the HTC X7500.

The first one is in topic over here and has not been solved yet (or maybe a little, by using another headset which doesn't seem to have that problem with the X7500), yet the second problem goes for BOTH the headsets:

Cracking sound and very often. When I make a call, when I receive a call, it doesn't matter, there's a very loud, ongoing cracking sound, so I can't hear what the other one is saying. They seem to hear me though.

Is the Bluetooth stack/Headset Profile that messed up in the WM6 ROM? In Windows Mobile 5.0 I didn't have any of the two problems....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Pyrofer:
I found the opposite, the sound is much better in wm6
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Doodle:
I have a Jabra 5020 headset and the reception under WM06 is very bad. It was much better under wm05, and I would probably love to flash back to solve this issue. Pity that cannot be done at the moment.

I had a clear reception from 3-4 meters away before flashing 06, now it is 50 cm.....
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] Madhadder:
It must be the headsets then.. I have both an old Logitec (With Boom Mike)

and new BlueAnt Stero headphones, Neither have sound problems and work

No problem with me as well since migrated to WM6. Not even need to change the registry. Maybe yo u should try using other BT headset instead...
