[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeZoR:
Hey guys!

I got a question, can I just flash the french XEF update COI9, available since a few days, over my older, branded COH2 firmware without wiping or factory resetting anything? I don't want to wait for my updates for ages...

Current AP: G920FFXXU2QOH8

Current CP: G920FXXU2COH2

Current CSC: G920FVFG2COH4

Model: SM-G920F

It should be a branded S6 from Austria.

Thanks for ur help, I appreciate it!

Yes you can, but if you don't do a factory reset and wipes, you may have issues.

[Xperia Z5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fulwood Sedge:
Hi All,

Not posted in here for a while but always the first place i come when I have any issues.

Received my Z5 today. Everything is sweet but I cant seem to get the phone to connect to my PC so Sony Companion doesn't pick it up. There's nothing in Device manager and nothing comes up in the notification bar like it did on my Z. The phone does charge and vibrate when the USB cable is initially plugged in. Am i missing something obvious or is there something i need to do.

I have tried it on both Win 7 and Win 10. Installed the companion first on win 10 but not on Win 7. I haven't tried sony's supplied cable as i cant see this helping.... (trying it now)

Any help would be appreciated

Cheers

EDIT:

Well this has made me slightly embarrased. Tried the Sony cable and it works fine. Detected straight away and asked if i want to install the software. I will leave this here incase anyone else comes here with the same 'problem'. My dunce hat will be on for the rest of the evening.

EDIT2:

Well it turns out i was trying to use a power only USB cable. I feel like a double twat now. Feel free to remove this post to save my blushes and to keep the forum tidy.

I have the letv x600 now, it is a great phone exept for the rubbish wifi signal( it is amazingly poor)

Could you tell me if i should buy this phone, what are the main problems?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mooseh:
if this were a flagship phone, you might have a point with the select few people that are experiencing lag, those that don't, this is about the best mid ranged budget phone you can buy. Some people will say the nexus 5x isn't much more, and that's only true in the US. Outside of the US there is a pretty significant price difference, not to mention all the nexus 5x gives over the moto x play is a finger print sensor and a slightly better camera.

No SD card slot for the nexus 5x killed it as a budget device. Googles argument about SD card storage been slow is kind of moot given they are adding a feature in 6.0 called "Adoptable Storage" meaning I can turn my SD card into part of my phones memory. Meaning a 64gb SD card in my moto x play will my phone will report 80gb of internal storage. Given UHS-3 card can now reach 95mb/s read, it's not that far behind the phones storage speed (getting 125-130) on mine.

For the very select few that have lag, it seems to releated to having specific software, more commonly, having google apps 5.2 or below. Many users noting a significant increase in performance running google apps 5.3+.

The battery is amazing, the camera is about the best you'll get on a sub 400$ phone. It's confirmed we are getting 6.0 and with a SD card slot, this is easily the best budget device on the market at the moment.

Take a look at this topic http://xdaforums.com/moto-x-play/general/moto-x-play-performance-t3186858

I think the majority of users have lag issues. To me, it's unacceptable that a Moto G 2nd gen (or even the G 1st gen) don't have this problem and the X Play does. I would definitly look at some other options if I were you, even though in this price range would be a little difficult to find something.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genetixs:
I don't think you've ever owned a fast phone, because you would instantly see how unresponsive this phone feels most of the time. Sure its snappy, but if you can't see that input lag, you arent very knowledgeable about the subject. I wouldn't trust your opinion for that reason.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephanes:
Maybe you simply have a defective unit. Mine work perfectly and I don't have any lag. Or maybe you aren't very knowledgeable about how to use/configure your phone. I wouldn't trust your judgement for that reason.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Genetixs:
Maybe I do have a defective phone, but that wouldn't be my fault would it? If you can give me a video demonstrating your own touch response delay(by turning on the show touch in developer options and demonstrating it through slow and fast swipes), I'd be thankful of you. That way I can prove I can know for sure that it is or isn't a defective unit. I don't mean to start an argument anymore, but if you can help me compare the two, that would help a lot. So far I like this phone a lot except for that reason, I also bought it open box from my carrier, maybe that has something to do with it.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidX1001:
I am using this phone from past 1.5 months and i am facing issues like micro lags here and there. in notification drawer and within apps like android central topics and drippler ,etc.

i did a lot of research regarding the topic surfed many websites and and forum for the cause and solutions.

i came up with the conclusion that its not in every handset out there. there are many people out there using this phone has no issues like that(may be thery are the lucky ones). but many are having these are issues of lags and stutter.

forum members in xda thread moto x play performbace thread reported this issue.

People in android central reported it.

(Even android central review verdict was to wait before buying this handset till moto release a better build.)

i surfed reddit and people reported the same issue with there moto x style/pure edition..... i saw a post in that forum by the member, he posted his screen shot with the chat with the motorola customer service and they said that the motorola is aware of the issues with moto x 3rd gen devices and they working to rectify it....i swear i dont have the link of that otherwise i would have posted it. this made me think that motorola is aware if the issue.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spec-Chum:
Had my 10.5" Tab S for a few months now and really like it aside from one thing...I can't for the life of me figure out if it has Headphone surround. The sound from movies on my headphones via my Kindle HDX 7 is far superior in terms of a pseudo 3D sound stage - this has Dolby Digital built-in.

Reading on-line I see Samsung has something called SoundAlive but I can't see any settings for it except for in the music and default video app. Is there anyway to use in, say, the Plex app which is what I use most of my videos on? Does there even exist a discrete settings app for it?

If not is there a some HRTF software I can install, but not V4A as I'm not rooted.

EDIT: Argh, thought I was in the Q&A section, please feel free to move. I really should know better!
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rsfinsrq:
I can access SoundAlive settings via the Samsung Level app

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.samsungsound

which I use to pair my Level Over headphones. Not sure if you can access the settings another way.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spec-Chum:
Alas, I've only got wired headphones and that app seems to only work with bluetooth ones.

Thanks tho.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylwiuszp:
I am "new" here, so for start warm Hello to everyone :) In fact I registered here 4 years ago but I used to be only reader until now.

I have a LG G3 d855, and after using CM on Desire Z many years ago and after Nexus 4 I knew from the begining that I want only AOSP based ROM. So I rooted phone, installed TWRP then Lolli-based Xenon HD and now - Euphoria. The latter one seems to be very slightly slower than former one, but more stable. But one thing came to my mind and I am not sure. What is your experience with various AOSP based ROMs? Is it worth to try another one than these two mentioned here? Perhaps I should go with pure CM 12.1, which above ROMs are based on? Just which of AOSP ROMs is the most stable and fast for you? Are there any really pure AOSP 5.1.1. ROMs in "stable" version for G3? I couldn't find one... Any suggestions are welcome.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josip-k:
Xenon HD is AOSP based and i use it ATM. It's stable for me and i use experimental build. I also tried Slim Minux build, wich is also AOSP based but it was kinda slower for me. Euphoria OS is CM based i think. And you do have a pure AOSP rom in android dev section, just look a little harder next time. And, as always, Google is your friend. :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filbertmang:
F-AOSP suits my taste. Absolutely smooth and battery friendly (stock aosp kernel). But there aren't many features like CM for this is based on pure AOSP. Note that this rom is very stable and proximity works very well.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightDevil:
CM based are cool and packed with features, but I found our AOSP versions tend to be a little smoother, eve if you have to exchange some features for performance. F-AOSP is leading in performance for me, but since I take a lot of pictures... well... you can guess. :|
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylwiuszp:
I had a small problem with double screen tap wakeup with Xenon, so I gave Euphoria a shot ;) I thought Xenon was somewhat CM based too?

Thanks, I saw it in ROMs section, but it is in "testing" stage for now, perhaps I should start testing it too ;)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylwiuszp:
F-AOSP is in "testing" stage as I could see, but it is great to hear from you that it is very stable :) Thanks, I'll give it a try. Usually I don't need to many gimmicks in OS, Android i its pure form is very mature and usable now.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylwiuszp:
Whenever I plan to take good photos, I take my "serious" camera with me, so using somewhat limited Google Camera app is not a problem for me. And another voice for F-AOSP, thanks!
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightDevil:
Definetly, F-AOSP deserves a handful of votes. It's vanilla AOSP, very stable and the animations don't lag like CM Roms do.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _DeeK_:
Yup I'm using the F-AOSP by kjjjnob. Stable and would definitely recommend to other users.

Any one knows when updating the custom rom, do you have to wipe everything again or just clear cache ?

What is the proper procedure to update ?

I do not want to reinstall all my apps again
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] filbertmang:
If you REALLY do not want your apps to dissapear, try flashing a custom rom and wipe cache and dalvik cache only. If you are coming from Stock and want to migrate ti AOSP, pretty sure you need to wipe data and not just the cache. Keep in mind that clearing the cache only will cause problems like FC or overheating. I suggest you use Titanium Backup.

Hit the thanks button if I helped you.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _DeeK_:
Thanks for the advice!

I've tried to update the custom rom and only wiping cache and dalvik cache but android errors are popping up.

Perhaps I'll try backing up my apps first before wiping everything else.

Thankfully I made a backup at recovery of my rom first.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylwiuszp:
After a first day with F-AOSP I can only confirm your experience! Very fast, reliable and stable. I just used Open Gapps instead of suggested packet. The only small glitch I've noticed were web and calendar applications not conforming to material design, but I guess it is common thing for AOSP and I easily have fixed it with appropriate apps from google play.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kornkij:
galaxy s3
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MidnightDevil:
I'm guessing F-AOSP brings AOSP apps, so flashing a stock google package (from opengapp) would replace the aosp components with google ones :)
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sylwiuszp:
Yes, it seems so. Both browser and calendar are part of AOSP ROM, but I've installed mini version of GAPPS, so only calendar gets replaced when you install newer version from Google Play. Chrome from Google Play was installed besides AOSP browser. This is somewhat a plus for CM based ROMs, where at least browser has more modern, material UI.

Where is the "Thanks" button (I'm not joking, it doesn't show up for me much at all)

You can see from my profile that I've been a member for a long time. I'm not very social, so I don't troll the threads much, just use what I need for the device in hand. I always appreciate what others have put out and I do like to show my appreciation, but I've noticed over a few years (there's gaps between my site use), that I for a large part, can't "Thank" the OPs. If there is a write up or tutorial link someone can point me to, then please do. I did try to search the entirety of XDA, but you might imagine searching for "Thanks" and the like will primarily pull up a lot of posts asking about Thanks..

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jtcb:
Hi,

I can get a brand new Note 8 for $200 CAD. Do you think it is still worth it to get? Is the $200 asking price reasonable for a two year old technology? Can $200 get a newer technology? I will mainly use it for web browsing, email, and stuff like that. I was planning to get the Tab S 8.5. Bestbuy has it on clearance for $329. What do you think?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] chevyhighrider:
I can tell you that I was surprised to find that there Isn't anything out there right now from Samsung worth replacing my Note 8 with. Although I've grown kinda restless with it the screen is better than some of the new offerings. The Tab A 9 inch tablet has a screen that's of way worse quality. The Note 8 is actually pretty stout. Check out some benchmarks on it, I'm sure it holds its own with some of the newer tablets. The screen is also nice, it's not killer by today's standard but still better than 70% of what's out there even now.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
God no, this tablet is around 3 years old now, and is running 3 year old tech. Screen is not great (for today that is), battery life is poor (again for today), and it doesn't seem like you'll have any use for the pen, which is the only real purpose for this tablet, and what differentiates it from the rest. And with that, pen support is poor, S-Note is a worthless app, and 3rd party support for the pen is poor. Paying $200 for it is beyond insane.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Stillness:
Still rocks

My Note 8 3G on TouchWiz 4.4.4 still gives me 16+ hrs screen time (mostly book reading & writing) even after two years (obviously after de-bloating & tweaking). It's pretty solid with no issues whatsoever. This may not be the thing for those who always need the latest this or that, but I wouldn't change this tablet for anything yet -- is there any really worthy replacement?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Mattix724:
I'm going to get right to what you want to hear. No, for $200 the Note 8 isn't worth it nowadays. You'd be better off taking that same $200 into a pawn shop and buying a decent laptop. You're just using it for browsing the web and checking email. Plus you can do so much more with a PC than you could on a tablet.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] tallgrasshawk:
If you want web browsing, etc. Spend the $200 towards a Chromebook. Best browsing out there. Dell & HP ones are really great.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] sputnik767:
Well, you didn't answer his question. Would you, now, pay $200 for it. Forget tweaking, most people don't have the time, knowledge base, or desire for that, evaluate the stock device, as is. Is it worth $200? IMO, no way. I would rather pay $500 for a modern device that doesn't require any tweaking and debloating, to get acceptable battery life or performance, than spend days or weeks tweaking something. My time is more valuable than that. And I will argue that in real-world usage (browsing, videos, etc), your device will not come close to the 16 hours you claim. Book reading and writing is not typical usage, and any modern device will likely beat your battery life with zero time invested in modifying it. My 1+ year old iPad Mini Retina absolutely destroys my Note 8 in battery life. It's not even close. Not that it's without it's share of issues, but overall, it's a much better tablet than the Note 8. Of course, it's much newer, so that's expected.
