[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipersilver:
Hi XDA, looking to you for answers... :(

The Device: I bought my Verizon Galaxy S6 straight out due to that phone trade in for $100 gift cards that happened way back in April. So I have no insurance on the device. No worries, as its in a otter box commuter case with tempered glass and I baby my devices.

The problem part 1:

-Last week just before I walked out the door for my anniversary dinner. I restarted my device and it didn't come back on.

- I plugged it in and got no light. Pressed volume +/-/home/power - and got the boot screen

- Accidentally factory reset the device when I let go off the combinations of buttons (why factory reset is the second option I have on idea)

- After the initial factory reset, I noticed it didn't go through. Rebooted and saw DM-Veritiy verification error

- Tried multiple times to get a clean factory reset until finally I got into the phone setup wizard

- Phone setup wizard froze on me about 3 times before I was able to get it to work

- Finally with finesse and some luck, I was able to get the phone partially restored but I knew something was fishy

- Brought the phone to Verizon which said I have no insurance, the only thing I may have is a manufacturer warranty with Samsung.

- The rep tried to factory reset the phone, however the DM-Veritify verification error came up again and could no longer continue.

- After some time there, I felt like I was wasting my time, Figured I would this myself.

- Went home and flashed the STOCK OS on my galaxy s6 with ODIN.

- After ODIN, and many OTA updates, I was on 5.11 and restoring my phone

After all this, the phone worked PERFECTLY FOR A WEEK

The problem part 2:

- Was in a parking lot to get some groceries, sent a text and put the phone in my pocket. When I looked at it again, the phone was off

- Tried to turn it on... nothing... I held the +/-/home/power buttons again and rebooted normally

- Phone started up just fine but froze after a minute.

- If I get the phone on, it will either freeze/hard-lock or when the screen turns off, then its just turns off, or restarts itself to failure

- I've tried to reboot into recovery volume +/home/power to wipe the cache, however I get an android in distress

- After a few attempts to get into recovery to wipe the cache, I managed to get past the distress icon and press get the menu selection down once before the device froze

- After more attempting to to wipe the cache. I don't even get the android in distress icon anymore, just the blue android screen hangs

- If I use all the buttons to reboot normally - the phone will freeze or once the screen turns off, its off.

thats it :(

I feel like I just ate $700

XDA please help :(
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipersilver:
Phone freezes in "recovery mode" 3 seconds in. Managed to get one wipe cache in.

Getting a "system rev. check fail device: 3 binary 1 error" error when trying to flash ODIN.

Guess you can't flash stock OS from 5.1.1
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vipersilver:
got a factory reset to go through just fine. Restored phone for 30 minutes and proceeded to use it.

Seemed fine and then froze while texting.

Seems to be randomly freezing and then a sudden restart.

Contacted verizon for the number to call for warranty send off.

*looks around* I see MULTIPLE issues regarding the S6 randomly restarting.

I should have got the Note 4
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

Sorry, but if it keeps happening persistently even after factory resets and successful stock installs, I'd call it a hardware problem. The best thing you can do is contact Verizon or Samsung and try getting a replacement.

All the best,

I had the same issue with my Moto G4 Play. The strange thing was that I could send SMS to everyone except for one specific contact. Clearing the messaging app's cache/data and then restarting my phone fixed the problem.

Error code 96, how to fix

I have processed the above and then I get the following

SMSC: '+7', 145

TOGGLE DNS CHECK 0.0.0.0 not allowed

I called up Airtel (my service provider) they suggested to update the message centre number

then I again repeated the above steps 1 thru 3 and in the blank space against SMSC I manually entered '+919816091514', I got

SMSC: update error

TOGGLE DNS CHECK 0.0.0.0 not allowed

My service provider (Airtel) is unable to help me.

My home circle is Himachal Pradesh, and I am roaming into Uttarakhand (UP West)

this issue is from the last couple days

Please suggest

Fix I found

I tried everything listed on here to no avail. Finally, I put the country code in front of the number I was having an issue with texting. For example, USA is the number 1. So for the phone number I put 1(602)555-5555. This fixed the problem I was having. Hope this helps.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shuklajee:
#SOLVED

If you are getting error code 96 or error code 38 while sending your SMS text from Android Smart phones, use following steps:

Step 1. *#*4636#*#* from Dialer panel

Step 2. Go to "phone information"

Step 3. Identify Message center number from your service provider and enter this number at "SMSC". Click update and then refresh.

Step 4. Send SMS.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jocloo:
Try this first

I had the same problem with one contact.

I found a posting elsewhere that said they solved their problem by going into Contacts and adding the "1" before the area code for the problem contact's phone number.

That worked for me.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raeann_w:
Thank you for posting this! This was the same problem I had. Sending to only one of my contacts was giving me the error but I was able to send messages to others without problems. Clearing the messaging app cache and restarting the phone fixed it for me. I was not able to resend the stuck messages but new messages now send to the contact with no errors.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Imkrishnaravi:
"error code 96" issue

I tried this method.

It worked

Same procedure was followed as explained in many threads

Step 1. *#*4636#*#* from Dialer panel

Step 2. Go to "phone information"

Step 3. Identify Message center number from your service provider and enter this number at "SMSC". Click update and then refresh.

While entering your smsc make sure you include a + (plus symbol)for country code .

This is the one which create many errors !

Just make sure you add a plus sign

Example : if you are in Karnataka using airtel sim

Smsc would be +919845086007

Then press update and exit

Try sending messages .
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tooplanx:
Additional info:

Just gone through all this and still couldn't get it to work.

I discovered the solution for me:

Didn't need to encode the SMSC number. Instead I needed to format it like this:

"+447458399008", 145

And then press update. The +447458399008 is the Virgin UK SMSC number and the 145 is apparently a port number.

This was what finally solved it.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abinbasil:
Final fix - Highly recommended!

Hi guys,

I am new to XDA developers site and I have to explain my situation here. One month ago, I started getting an error 96 when trying to sent SMS from my Airtel sim (Phone is Moto G5 Plus). I tried calling the Airtel customer care and they said that my SMSC number is missing, that's why it's showing that error. They gave the SMSC number and I tried updating it from Messages app where I couldn't find the settings. Then I found one fix like we have take the sim out and put it in a old feature phone and set the number. After I set the number-tested sending SMS-succeeded. But the same error came when I put it in my G5 Plus.

Then I tried setting through *#*#4636#*#*. Update error came. Then I encoded the number and tried to update. Again same 'update error'. I suffered for one month without any features like UPI transfer or text messaging. Then I asked a Android developer engineer and he told that my sim can be damaged due to extreme heat. But I was confused why it doesn't affect the old Nokia phone.

Fix

Very simple. As he said my sim is damaged, I went to a Airtel retail center - ordered a duplicate sim and Hurray... It worked

This is my idea to all friends who are searching for a fix till now.

[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdwright1031:
Yes will the Nvidia shield pass the audio through USB?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
It's full android. I saw reviews of same using it on android, and I use a DAC (Digital to Analog Convertor) on my shield. I personally have one that's micro usb male to 3.5mm and it works flawlessly. Imediately recoganized, no configuration. I got that edition as I only have 2.1 audio and it was a free extra usb port, plus it works on my phone too. Should work just fine.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdwright1031:
What I am looking to do is use one of the usb ports with a converter to analog.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
Like a headphone jack? You originally said optical, so I wasn't sure. What type of sound system connector do you need specifically. I'll find one one that's perfect.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdwright1031:
Optical
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
Both of those do optical and should work fine with android.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdwright1031:
Thank you very much. I will look for a cheaper option but at least I know what to look for. Thx. These will pass through 5.1 right?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdwright1031:
Here is the easiest way to ask. Ok Here is the reciever I have:

http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/HT-C550/XAA

The only inputs I have are either RCA or optical out from the receiver. Is there any way to connect the shield tv to get 5.1 surround sound? Sorry for not being clear. I am curious to know if the usb port from the nvidia shield will output 5.1. Thank you
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
Upon further inspection of options, you'll probably be best with something like this. It strips the 5.1 audio from the HDMI, then makes it optical. It's probably the most cost effective solution for true 5.1.

http://www.amazon.com/Panlong-Headphone-Extractor-Converter-Splitter/dp/B00JZCLW6A
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailslol:
I think the best will be a HDMI to optical box...

Or hope your tv has a sound pass through. and use the tv optical out.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdwright1031:
Unfortunately mine does not. I have an old 46" Sammy with excellent colors I don't want to give up. It has an optical port but you only get 2.1 that way.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdwright1031:
So with this option I would:

Surround receiver optical into this box optical

Nvidia shield hdmi into box

then box hdmi to tv?
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
Yep. That just strips the sound from the HDMI, so you can just use the out ports on that for sound and video. It's full 5.1 sound out, and normal HDMI passthrough so you won't lose any quality on video or audio.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdwright1031:
Thanks a lot.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailslol:
It can add some small sound delay still, but less than a USB thing.

But I guess most content on android are in stereo so if you want some 5.1 effect all the time make sure your receiver does some dolby pro logic 2 for a 2.0 to 5.1 effect.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kdb424:
Things like Kodi will, or soon will, do 5.1 on the shield. I'm going to assume that's why this is being asked. That' and the only thing their reciever can accept is 5.1 optical, so either way, it's what they want.

EDIT: Checked up on it. It does support 5.1 audio with the lastest version.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailslol:
Yes kodi, vlc,and most local video player support 5.1 and 7.1 content, but apps like YouTube,daily motion,some streaming tv/anime/movies apps and maybe popcorn time and Netflix,or some games and music streaming apps like spotify only use 2.0 sound.

In this case a dolby pro logic 2 mode is cool for a "all time" 5.1 sound mode if you see what I mean :laugh:

I use a HDMI pioneer receiver and it is really good one because it can switch from full Dolby digital 5.1 mode to Dolby pro logic 2 by itself if it detect 2.0 output.
[Shield Android TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wiredmonkey:
Shield TV update 2.0 added support for USB to optical dongles.

"Supports USB-S/PDIF dongles and enables users to connect SHIELD to older sound bars and audio receivers."

Hello all!

So recently I was playing around with my G4, and decided to see if i could boot into fastboot mode. Turned out I could: theandroidsoul.com/lg-g3-fastboot-mode-61660/, but it would remove download mode in the process. It was totally useless. I couldn't run any commands and so I decided to put download mode back. I rebooted my phone, a notification caught my eye, and I completely forgot to put it back.

Fast forward a couple days, and my phone starts to run at 2 miles per hour. So, I factory reset, losing root and recovery in the process. That still didn't fix it, and now the camera, all speakers, and microphone don't work. Now, I can't replace download mode without root, so I cant run the LG Flash Tool. I'm starting to lose my mind over this. Please help!
