[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bxrider117:
I'm already using the Verizon S6 but I'm thinking of moving my plan to At&t. My S6 and my wife's iPhone 6 are having issues with dripping calls because if there is a week 4g signal the phone drops to 1x and my drop the call. I am tired of CDMA and want to have the freedom to use any phone.

I really like the S6. I'm rooted and I easily get a full day out of my phone now. I want to buy a unlocked version of this phone to use on at&t. Which is the better unlocked version? Can I root any of the stock Roms on this phone or do I need to stay away from a particular version of ROM that may not be root able.

Also are the boot loaders unlocked?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Coolhari1995@gmail.com:
Most of the phones like branded companies come with bootloader locked! U can easily unlock and the procedure is specific to phone models (but most of the phones with fastboot mode follow same code set except the I'd, it's unique for a model). Once your bootloader is unlocked and you are on a custom recovery you need not bother much. U just have to flash supersu zip and you are rooted (no matter what rom you are on).
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bighleo114312:
If you wanna keep root try a t Mobile. Att is locked bootloader alike verizon. Right now on 5.02 you can root but on 5.1.1 dont think so. I have a tmo variant and im using europes 920f custom roms.

[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awaisuk:
Hi,

So I am trying to setup my note 4 to be on GPS only mode all the time. But everytime I turn off and turn on location, it goes back to High accuracy mode.

How do I make it stick to GPS only mode?

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spexwood:
This is "normal." Every time you turn location on, it defaults to high accuracy and you must change the settings to power saving. If you turn location off and on again, it will default again.

I hate it too. It's annoying as heck, but it's a stupid Android problem and not the Note 4. My old phone did it on Kitkat too, and it was an LG.

The good news is that you can get to the location settings quickly by holding the location toggle in the quick settings pull down. Unfortunately, you'll have to go to the settings everyone you turn location on, or just keep location on or off.

My phone isn't really rootable, but MAYBE there's some sort of trick you can do if rooted. If so, I hope someone can help you more.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrcol:
same issue on my s5 and its damn annoying.

I posted a request in apps section to see if a dev can make a xposed module to fix it, but I am going to see if I can fix with tasker, as tasker can do cool things like toggle settings after a mode is activated.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkGuyver:
Go into Settings -> Location and you be able to adjust the GPS connection settings there.
[Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrcol:
that only works until you disable it, then it changes again when turning back on

Genius, got it!.. It was one of the Google apps!!

Rebooted to Safe Mode (probably irrelevant :)) & cleared the data - on several Google services, dunno which is the culprit - and voila!

On Reboot, switching Location back on presented me with the dialog to NOT have High accuracy; yes, lol!

Going to try and add that screenshot to the post here. =)

Well, this is officially the stupidest thing Google/Android have ever done. And it's been around for a while, as I see. It is still there on Marshmallow ... how fantastic. Yep, they do wanna troll you and own you ... that we get.

Here's a possible fix for rooted phones - https://csullender.com/blog/2014/01/26/automatic-high-accuracy-android-location/ just revert the procedure somewhat and make sure that Tasker tells Maps (or whatever nav app you use) to default to GPS off which is “battery saving” mode in Secure Settings.

This is insanely retarded ...

[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawn0223:
so my whole day was wasted sitting at the house waiting to sign for this thing. get it at 4pm. go get myself a nano sim from ATT. opened the packaging in the att store. put in the sim and turned on the phone. before i can get through the ****in setup wizard the bitc** reboots. im like whatever. its the initial version of OOS. ill update that bitc** and ill be good.

phone boots up and goes right into another reboot. did this for *fuc*in EVERR!!! somehow managed to get in the os finally and i start to unlock dev options and **** so i can unlock it.

fastboot oem unlock goes fine. reboots and again im in boot loop city. after tinkering with this damn thing forever i finally found a way to get twrp on that ***** and im downloading the latest zip and im gonna sideload it into the storage so i can flash through recovery. hopefully that fixes this nonsense. will update if i get anywhere. pretty lame considering my opo was a ****in boss.

update: I flashed the latest OTA zip through TWRP and it still bootloops before i can get through the setup wizard. Any ideas? seems hardware related since reflashing didnt work. gonna try another rom and see what happens.

update 2: cant install exodus. installation hangs at "patching system unconditionally"

Update 3: flashed oxegen os back and its back to bootlooping, Any ideas?

update 4. got CM12 to flash through twrp and it wouldnt get through the bootanimation before rebooting. so its bootlooping on any rom which makes me think hardware. submitted a ticked. will update when i have something.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rowMhiRe6AY
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waterdroid:
Sounds like hardware if you've got this going on for several ROMs. Let me know how the CS works out for you, if they mess up on your case, send me a PM please. I'm a OnePlus mod and can have the staff take a look at CS tickets personally.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawn0223:
i actually got a hold of CS over the phone this morning lmao. turns out the ticket for whatever reason didnt reach OnePlus on their side. no clue. but anyways. got someone on the phone doing something. lol. we shall see whats up

Update:he says we're going to remote session in an hr and I'll receive an email with instructions. We shall see.

Update: Was supposed to receive an email for my remote session by 11am via email but still haven't gotten it. Lame

update: got CS on the line again and they said they requested it but never said they would actually send one. which is BS cuz the guy (francis) told me that he set the appointment for 11am. either way, after *****ing a bunch and requesting a manager someone magically happened to cancel their appointment with a lvl 2 tech so i got my session in. she redid the whole phone, no dice. still bootloops. said she had to escalate further and theres nothing really to do other than wait so it would be AWESOME if [MENTION=5751673]Waterdroid[/MENTION] could make something happen. So gay to receive a DOA phone man. was so hyped for this lol. hopefully itll turn out good soon

ticket request # 412635
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waterdroid:
Can you apply for an RMA request? The fault is obviously at OnePlus' side.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawn0223:
I thought that's what the next step would be. I figured thats what shes escalating for. Should I submit an rma or wait for the response?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waterdroid:
I'd say wait for the response.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawn0223:
I'll do that. Hopefully they get on it quick. I'll keep updating if anything happens
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawn0223:
They remote sessioned my phone and I even got an email saying that it qualifies for a replacement. Ticket has been sitting with their "r&r" (replacement and returns) dept. Been sitting there, cs says I can't do anything but wait for them. They Dont use phones in that department apparently lol. Any way u could help push this along [MENTION=5751673]Waterdroid[/MENTION]? At this rate I wont have the phone until the end of next month man.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Waterdroid:
Well I can't really go ahead and ask them to speed up as they're working as fast as possible on every case already.. Could you ask what waiting time they estimate and once that time is exceeded without results, report back to me? I can then at least label your ticket as ignored, delayed or whatever.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawn0223:
They said to expect something within 24hrs. It's been a little over 24hrs I gave them my imei. They asked for it in that email they said my device qualifies for a replacement in.I guess I can wait a little more lol. Kinda getting impatient and annoyed since there's nothing I can do and the phone came to me doa so it's killing the hype for me lmao.
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shawn0223:
finally after dealing with the horrible CS, i finally got an invoice saying theyre sending me a replacement. except they submitted in the ticket to send me an OPO not an OPT. the degree of their stupidity is getting to be ridiculous. Now i get to call these a-holes again cuz i wanna be sure they catch this **** before they send an OPO and an OPT tempered glass. Jesus!!! lol

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sep1911:
I learned about viper4android and that is what made me start this crusade. I literally spend all of yesterday researching and learning how to root and troubleshooting viper4android and I still can't seem to get it to work.

I rooted my phone and flashed the latest version of TWRP, and installed superSU as well. I initially had a lot of trouble getting the busybox drivers to install but I finally managed to get the latest version installed. The app busybox on rails verifies that the current version of the busybox drivers are installed.

I tried different methods of installing viper4android and I don't have any luck with any. I get the app installed but once I launch the app it asks me which drives I to install, I try to install the super quality drivers but the drivers will not install. I've done a lot of googling of what the problems could be but the "fixes" people suggest dont work. The latest thing I tried was installing SELinux and changing the mode to permissive before trying to install the the drivers but the drivers will still not install.

Any ideas on what to try next? I've granted all these apps permanent permission through superSU. The other thing I've been wanting to do is to remove all the ATT bloatware, but even the app I got for that called "uninstall" will not uninstall all the bloatware which makes me wonder if something is incorrect. However in the bootloader it says my phone is "modified" and "unlocked".

Any help would be appriciated, and I should also mention I have lolipop 5.0.2.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Your problem is the stock kernel. It has write protection enabled.

You need a custom kernel where the write protection is disabled.

Try ElementalX for a start : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2705613

or any Sense based kernel.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sep1911:
Do I need to install skydragon before installing elementx? Or will installing elementX sense 5.0.2 version be ok?

Edit: I read on a blog that you need to install skydragon first, but I saw no mention of it in the official elemtnx thread so I ended up installing elementx and it worked by I kept getting hung on the HTC logo on boot, I did a reset and it fixed it with the eleX kernel running. viper works no but it looks like I've lost data. lol. Always something. Now it's time to figure this out.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
:confused::confused::confused:

Did I mentioned any ROM ? I said and talked about ElementalX kernel only and your problem has nothing to do with ROM. I didn't ask what ROM that you have, right ? Because you already mentioned it has lollipop 5.0.2
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sep1911:
Like I said in my edit it's something I read online. I am new to this stuff and at the time I thought you would need a new ROM in order to install a kernel. I was trying to research what I need to do so I dont go in screwing something up and there was a how to blog that specifically mentioned you need a new ROM inorder to install the element X kernel. But that turned out do be flawed information. Anyways I've since read a lot about ROMs, kernels and what not and now have a better understanding of what each piece of the puzzle does.

Anyways, the phone has been kind of unreliable. I had previously used the phone since it's launch before rooting it. I figured it might not be a bad idea to clean everything out hoping that would solve some of the problems. I relocked the phone and did an RUU. I then rooted the phone again and installed elementX. I cant send or receive multimedia texts, GPS does not work at all, and data works on and off. If I reboot the phone chrome will load any page but then after a few mins it stops and sometimes it will load certain websites and at other times it wont load anything at all. I am having good reception of course. Could elementX be the culprit here?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
I searched info on AT&T with ElementalX .. what I've found they worked.

So not sure why it didn't work for you. You tried ElementalX-m8-4.05-Sense, right ?

Your first post was asking about Viper4Android, you need a custom kernel with write protection disabled for it to work.

You can RUU it back and try different kernel and see how it goes.

BTW ... what's the RUU version no. ? 4.28.502.2 ?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sep1911:
Yeah I was initially trying to get V4A to work, and flashing elemental X allowed me to resolve my problems with that, but now I'm having phone functionality problems. And yes, that is the RUU number that I used on my phone. Any kernels you recommend ? Also, as far as reliability and avoiding problems goes do I need to revert back to stock kernel everytime before flashing a new kernel or would clearing the caches and flashing a new kernel over another custom kernel suffice?
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ckpv5:
Can't help much on Kernel as I don't use custom Kernel.

You need to try some of them and find out which work best for your device.

Maybe asking in AT&T sub-forum will get you better respond.

The main point here is you need write protection disabled kernel to have that viper4android running and also to remove some bloatware that you want to get rid off.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] umeshchamara:
I have finally found a method to get the Viper4Android working on HTC M8 (6.0)

1. Download viper4android apk from this Link - http://vipersaudio.com/blog/?page_id=48 (credit - zhuhang ) and install

2.Flash this zip in recovery Link - http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64855827&postcount=5675 ( credit - Flar2)

3.Install drivers and reboot

4.Go to the system/etc and find the .conf file called "htc_audio_effects.conf" rename it to the "htc_audio_effects.bak" (this made file inactive but keep a backup in case something went wrong ) (Use Solid explorer or Root explorer for this )

4.Restart your device

Hi Everyone!

I just ordered a Vodafone branded Unlocked Samsung Note 5 (bought it branded as it was $100-$200 cheaper). Anyway I would like to debrand the phone and remove all Vodafone Bloatware. In the good old days of my Samsung S2 it was easy to do that by flashing a stock firmware from international version. Question: Is the process still the same? I haven't had a Samsung phone in quite a while (been trying other alternatives) and I am hearing things about locked bootloaders and Knox counters that wont go away.

Any help would be appreciated.

Did you change the APN (access point names)? This is just for mms and data. Now, as far as the card, how did you formate it Using the phone or as fat32?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] audit13:
Could the poor reception be due to an incompatibility between the Verizon Note 3 and T-mobile frequencies?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] kgptzac:
First you need to make sure a T-Mobile Note 3 (or any other T-Mobile brand device) have better reception before placing the blame on your phone. I say this because T-Mobile's coverage is known to be weak compare to Verizon due to frequency issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Takinato:
I used a Verizon note 3 for a while and with the frequency difference the signal was OK using band 4 but it didn't have the second band that t mobile uses for LTE (which I think is 19) so the signal wasn't very good. I ended up getting a t mobile note 3 and have great signal now

I personally Tested this

Continue only if you have messed with the /system partition (and don't remember what you changed) and you are on 5.1.1 this will remove root but you will keep your data

Okay well now

Make sure you have a Windows PC

Download the LG Drivers from here

Download this 5.1.1 System.img

Place downloaded img to your external SD via adapter or through a spare phone you have

Now place SD back into your phone

Reboot your device into download mode

Download this folder and unzip it to your desktop:

Run

ports.bat

from within the extracted folder, to find your correct port (use the one with: LGVZANDNETDIAG1)

In the LG_Root folder hold shift and right click and choose open command windows here

Type

Send_Command.exe \\.\COM6

(Make sure your COM port number is correct, it varies)

Type

dd if=/storage/external_SD/system.img bs=8192 seek=42816 count=327680 of=/dev/block/mmcblk0

you will see a flashing _ line instead of the # let it do it's thing you will know it finished when the # shows back up

Type

LEAVE

and press enter and let your device reboot
