[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RecIV:
Can the official Samsung KIES Flash tool program correctly flash 5.0.2 software back onto my phone

after I install a 5.1.1 Rom?

Everyone says you can not return to 5.0.2 rom after flashing a 5.1.1 rom.

is that 100 % correct ?

the Japanese softbank sm925Z Galaxy s6 Edge is still 5.0.2. it never recieved a 5.1.1 update.

I want to try to find a 5.1.1 rom for another country. but I do not know if the official samsung KIES flash tool

can return me to stock 5.0.2 , if the 5.1.1 fails to connect to wifi and cellular.

is there a way to backup my modem-imei-efs information, and import that to new ROMS ?

I have tried other 5.0.2 roms, and all of them lose access to the wifi and cellular service.

Should I abandon all hope on roms with the japanese sm925z?

or is there an option I dont quiet understand yet?

I have backed up my stock rom and efs partition with rooted twrp 2860.

but replacing the EFS partition ontop of new ROMS does not seem to resolve the wifi - cell service issue.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bubbalv29:
So I ordered an external antenna for a USB modem that I use in my home, and I got curious. I attached the adapter to BOTH of the connectors individually to see how my service would improve, and I think it was a mistake.

I get no service whatsoever now. I actually have to put my phone up to the signal booster I have in my phone to get any service at all.

Luckily, I had another S4 and I changed out the motherboards so I didn't have to go without a phone.

I'm wondering if there's anything I can do to restore the functionality of the other motherboard's radio. Even if it means DIYing a solution.

Below is an image of the connectors that I attached the external antenna to. Can anyone help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sepata:
It doesn't look good:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/general/external-antenna-socket-warning-t1273292

You have damaged the connectors inside the antenna socket (very easy to do, as I found out). This has switched off the internal antenna and you have four basic options:

1. If under warranty, return it and hopefully they won't notice you messed it up and replace the motherboard.

2. Rig up a permanent external antenna using copper (or other) wire.

3. Fill the socket with solder to rejoin the connectors and re-enable the internal antenna.

4. If 3. fails, replace or completely remove the antenna socket and solder the transmitter/receiver to the internal antenna on the board (how's your micro-soldering?)

I messed up my 3G antenna, which is in the same position as R1 on your board, but on mine it is labelled L1 and I only have one socket. Your other one is for 4G, I think, so if you have messed up both it's double trouble.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bubbalv29:
Well, I suppose I've got nothing to lose by trying this out and failing. The only reason I want the other board is for the older baseband version, and the fact that I have safestrap installed on it.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Iskateforfree:
This is a quality product from Choetech. I received my review unit and overall, it far surpassed my expectations. Here are some things I liked/may not have preferred:

Pros:

1. Stylish, sleek, elegant design

2. Minimalistic yet effective packaging

3. The cord fits in my microUSB with a Spigen case no problems (for those with Spigen cases, you know the port cut out is quite tight and most cords are too big to fit without taking off the case

Cons (specifically related to my PERSONAL preferences):

1. The included cord is not as long as the original OEM Samsung cord which tends to get difficult to maneuver when I'm charging the device and using it in bed.

2. The USB input port on the wall charging puck is place on top which causes the cord to bend to the left while I'm laying in bed. This could eventually damage the cord due to prolonged bending.

Overall, I am very pleased with this product and I would definitely recommend their products to others.

I tested this charger with my phone and 2 Kindle Readers. Everything charged very quickly but the Qualcomm compatible phone which would ordinarily take 2 hours and 20 minutes to charge from the 40% level on a standard charge, took about an hour and a half with the CHOE charger. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QTJZ3D0

I have a not so amusing proplem with my phone. A birthday reminder for one of my contact don´t stop. It just keeps adding more and more reminders and keeps on doing it until I have like a 1000 and locks the phone. It is impossible to do anything with the phone because it is popping up new reminders all the tim. I am using wm6, spb diary, and the pocket cm 0.6. I think the combination of these is causing the problem. Anyone ever had similar problems.

Best regards

Birthday reminders still mad

I have not used my Trinity in many months, but made another try at it now and changed the rom and radio. But still the same problem.

I am using the Schap´s WM6 Pro 4.30 ROMs [WWE/FRA] rom with radio 1.46.30.11 I have a problem with that when the reminder starts for someones birthday at 23:45(11:45 pm) i pops up one more than every second until it hangs the phone completely. The only way to sole it is with a hard reset, but if I put my contacts back it will behave the same way on the next persons birthday.

Schap´s rom isn´t the problem and I don´t think the radio either, because I had the same problem on another rom and using 1.46.00.11 radio.

But I wonder what could be the problem, could my contacts be corrupted somehow???

I have tried to search this formum and google myself to death but cant find a single one with the same problem.

Please help, what could be wrong.....

I just changed from DSL to Cable Broadband and I'm having a rather peculiar problem. Most of the time I get time outs from hosts using my Samsung Galaxy S4 Active SGH-I537 phone while my other wireless devices work fine (Win Laptop, Ipod). My phone works well on WiFi at work, but it's not getting along with my Arris (Model: TG862A) Cable modem. I haven't updated the custom phone's firmware (5.0.1) or anything. I can ping sites and other devices in my network, but a lot of times can't access websites. I have even thought if it was the DNS server and I have changed to Google's DNS Servers and entered the server's IP address, but nothing. I get brief moments where everything works fine and then it's gone.

Just wanted to know if anyone has had a similar problem.

I guess it's not surprising most XDA members go through phones like water. I never thought I'd have my Nexus 4 for so long, but every subsequent phone has lacked something.

The Nexus 5 also uses Qualcomm's Fluence noise cancellation (like the Nexus 4). Fluence is not very good and the implementation on the 5 is actually worse than on the 4. I miss the amazing Audience noise cancellation from the Nexus One (still the best I've ever seen), so I swore I'd never get another phone with Fluence. Also even though the N5 has a larger higher resolution screen, it is a different aspect ratio, has a lower effective dpi, and actually displays less information, which seemed dumb to me.

Then the Nexus 6 came along. It has Motorola's good four microphone noise cancellation. It has OIS, which I've really been wanting. I like the design taken from the Moto X. But it was just such a huge phone. I never wanted a phablet. I couldn't wrap my mind (or hand) around it.

There have been other tempting phones, like the Moto X. But I guess I've always had Nexus phones and am having trouble switching to something else. The 6P is definitely tempting. The lack of OIS is a huge disappointment to me. And I swore I wouldn't get a phone with the Snapdragon 810. It does have three microphone noise cancellation, but I don't know yet if it's Fluence and how well it works. I've gotten used to the fact that flagships are all phablets now (sigh). We'll see.

In the meantime, hanging onto the Nexus 4 for so long, I find it easier and easier to wait. After the hype dies down on a new phone, it's often hard to explain why I really need it. I do worry now that there will be no official Marshmellow for it. [MENTION=5360276]ySo Jelly[/MENTION] aren't you worried about security running 4.3 still?

[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShrekOpher:
I was reviewing how both Android pay and Samsung pay verify the device. It looks like having an unlocked bootloader is going to cause issues with either of these going forward unless someone finds out how to hide the check.

I have also been messing around with Android M and it looks like the verify for most apps with be to check for both root and bootloader lock.

So here is my question is it possible to install a custom ROM and relock the bootloader? Thought I might as well start a thread about it., and see if anyone has any ideas.

It looks like it is possible on a Nexus device, but not sure on the GN4. http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...4-7-bootloader-after-flashing-a-non-stock-rom
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glm0025:
As for Android Pay they have mentioned only root will be checked and if present it will fail verification. In this case all you need to do is re-flash the factory stock rom and you will be able to use the application.For Samsung Pay the problem is much more complex as the application checks the integrity of Knox so if you already tripped it then you will be unable to use it.

Hi all,

I've been searching high and low for any help on using OpenVPN on my Rogers TyTN. Does anyone have experience with this? I cant connect via Wifi or GPRS and cannot seem to access my TAP device (never loads??).

Any help please!

Thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] johnburn:
Are you using the "basic" (standard?) GPRS/3G access point node (APN)? If you're connecting to internet.com, then you are and VPN apps (including the one built into WM) won't work. You need to call Rogers and up your data service to the "VPN" level. The APN for this is vpn.com. It will cost you $10 per month over and above what you're paying for data now.

Basically the difference is this: The internet.com APN is behind a NAT gateway (firewall). The IP address you get is a private address. Some ports (e.g. Port 47 needed for all VPN protocols) are blocked. The vpn.com APN is connected directly to the Internet and the IP address you get is a public Internet address. Lastly, no ports are blocked.

Hope this helps.
