[One (M9+) General] corrupt1234:
Bought an m9+ yesterday. So what should I do now? Root or Recovery? Help pls. It's my first HTC phone so I don't know how to root/install recovery/custom roms/etc
[One (M9+) General] xunus:
1) go HTCDEV to unlock bootloader

2) install custom recovery

3) (Optional) backup Stock rom

4) root ur phone/ install custom rom
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] abjc89:
So I'm not sure if this is for everyone, but on my T-Mobile edge plus, there was a plastic protector covering the flash and other sensors. It was a little difficult to remove. But after doing so, I'm positive the flash is brighter and fuller. Also I think the heart rate sensor is faster now. Just sharing my find.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] knite75:
Bloody hell, thank you! I just peeled mine off.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] tat2messiah:
Cant tell if minehas one on it lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] Misterjunky:
re: plastic film

If you purchased the phone brand new never opened in retail box then you have

the little transparent plastic film which covers the flash led & heart rate monitor.

It comes off easy enough by simply using your fingernails.

Good luck,

Have a great day!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] tat2messiah:
I did purchase it brand new at store but they ppened it there so i dont know mybe they took it off
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] Misterjunky:
re: plastic film

They would not take it off, why would they?

Just start scraping the top or bottom edges of the

led with your fingernail and it comes off easily.

I know the led LOOKS like it has no plastic film

but it really does.

Good luck,
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] yungtexas:
I can't tell is the camera has one also.... Does it lol? Thanks for the top btw
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] anothadmension:
Thanks, I never noticed the plastic. :good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] ssmr2t:
I love peeling the plastic off electronics. It's like my disneyland :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] Erckul:
How did that get there? Just peeled mine off. Thank you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] abjc89:
I have another Samsung secret to reveal. Hilariously, I have confirmed that store demos of this phone have this plastic covering on the LED and sensors (I'm talking the fake ones on stands in target even). So if peeling this off gets you going, by all means free those fake phones from their protective plastic next time you shop.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] hello00:
i found out at the store..i always take a good look before taking it home with me
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] ingenious247:
I knew about the plastic film, but I left it on because of early reports that it's not actually glass covering the flash/heart rate sensor

I figure I'd rather scratch the removable plastic film then the plastic cover itself
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] thecityboy781:
mine had it lol
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] MMakoto:
I peeled off the plastic rather easily, and I thought there was another plastic underneath it Cuz I already saw some scratches on it. Poked around with a wooden toothpick trying to peel it off and it looks all scratched up now. Is the led and sensor cover a piece of plastic or glass?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] abjc89:
It is plastic, scratches on it will only lightly hurt the throw of the LED flash. The heart rate sensor will be close to unaffected by any level of scratches. I believe the last one is a proximity sensor (correct me if I'm wrong), and that would be largely unaffected by scratches as well.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] The Hackecutioner:
That is the proximity sensor and scratches should not noticeably affect any of the 3 things listed.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] Leonarddale:
I never would have known that was there lol Thanks :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] fordfx2:
Well hot damn! I just removed one of the heart rate sensor....No wonder the damn thing didn't work right all the time! Thanks for this
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] rundmk13:
I must say that this is the reason my heart rate sensor was acting wonky. I don't really use the sensor so the plastic will stay on. It's not even that noticeable. The scratches are however and I hate my phone looking all jacked up.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sujit_tiyar:
With both the built-in kernel and the Rox latest build(CM 12.1), the charging problems remain. If I connect my phone to some wall charger, the led is lightened in yellow (or orange) and the phone shows it is being charged. However, it is not really charging - battery keeps dropping - even when the phone is idle.

Sometimes it does charge, however. I don't know if it's a bad charger that I have or something else (i have used various chargers but problem remains the same.) What bothers me is that the phone thinks it is being charged, when in fact I don't see any sign for this in the battery level.

I haven't tried stock ROM in a very long time, so I don't even know if it's a ROM issue or a hardware issue. Anyone has an idea because many of users having the same problem.
[Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b0baz:
Rox 12.1 works perfect. Maybe something bad is with wall charger? No problems here detected.

Yeah, Toshiba just announced an 8GB microSDHC card and even a massive 16GB full-size SDHC card (launching in October for ¥40,000, about $350), but it's the friggin 32GB card we're eyeballing. Due out January of next year for ¥80,000, soon enough you'll be plunking down seven bills for what's surely the last memory card you'll need for, what, six months?

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aerifal:
Hello, the problem start when I using resurrection remix 5.1.1, I using it with agni kernel for 2 months without any problem until yesterday when I browsing using wifi, suddenly my wifi won't detect any networks, it keeps searching the networks, also bluetooth and tethering suddenly not working as well. If I turned on the Bluetooth I got error message "Bluetooth share has stopped working".

I think this caused by the rom so I clean install the rom, wiped everything except external sd card, but the problem still persist.

Then I trying to flashed DN4 rom but I got bootloop, it stucks at Samsung Note II screen, this rom was working great before I move to RR rom.

Now I go back to RR rom, but the problem getting worse now, every time I put my phone to sleep the phone get restarted, so I let the screen turn on, set the sleep time to 30 min. Someone tell me to try restoring stock rom but since I have limited bandwidth, I want to fix this without downloading stock rom. Please guide me how to fix this, is this hardware issue?

Sorry for wong English.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] inseek:
Got a S6 Edge off eBay, it is sold as "new" open box but never used.

Is there a way to check if it is actually being used before? I remember old phones were displaying how many minutes they were in use since they're produced, is there such a menu/code that will tell me this on this phone?

Thanks in advance.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] wolferno:
If it was factory reset, you won't be able to tell. As long as the phone has no scratches, it's safe to assume new. Most people are flipping their phone after renewing their contract. They only open the phone to remove the pre-installed SIM card that's linked to their account.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] madfox23:
i am on kernel 4.4.4 with stock 4.4.2 android and everything works except my camera. the rear camera has lines and boxes in it and when i switch to the front camera it has lines and is black and white. i can play with some settings such as stabilization on the rear and itll go away temporarily but nothing fixes front camera. any ideas as to how i can fix this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] socsoff0404:
I searched this but was unable to find any matching scenario. This is typical CDMA carrier's simultaneous voice and data issue. The phone (Galaxy Note 5) was bough from Verizon and gets 4glte fine when on Verizon SIM card... even simultaneously. I wanted to use the phone with a AT&T sim and after changing APN settings it does work fine, but NO simultaneous voice and data. When I make a call the 4glte signal on the top status bar changes to 1x and there is no data. Once the call ends it switches to 4glte. I have activated Advanced calling with Ver sim card on and when the ATT sim is in it does show HD calling enabled. So what's wrong with the device?? Did anyone face same issue ? Any suggestion will be greatly APPRECIATED. btw I am w/o any contract plan with Verizon
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] MRBULLRED:
FWIW my Note 5 switches from 4G LTE to 1x as soon as I start a call. Unless I enable advance calling then I have 4G while in a call. However if you ask me the call quality is lower when I have HD Voice enabled in the advance calling tab.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] steinbr2:
Same problem here. I do not want to use HD Voice but still want simultaneous voice and data. I had no issue with this on my Galaxy S5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] ChrisAC84:
I just wish it would stop notifying me telling me I don't have data on a call.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] tw1n5nak35:
This is very annoying. I didn't have to set this on my older note 3. But I also went ahead and got the advanced calling 1.0. I dont know why, its dumb but it is what it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] JasonJoel:
The new phones don't have 2x radios like the old phones did, so can't do both simultaneously. That is why you have to use advanced calling to get both.

It is a physical limitation of the phone, nothing you can do about it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] Skizzy034:
Why doesn't Verizon switch to GSM? Would it mess up their coverage if they decided to do it? I'm being hypothetical. I know it would cost them way more than they would ever spend to do it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] bart77:
In a sense they are all moving to the lte spectrum. Att is GSM. Verizon is cdma. Both are using similar lte at 700mhz. When using advance calling it's no longer using cdma 1x or GSM but lte using voip over lte data. Therefore you can use voice and data.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] socsoff0404:
I ended up getting a AT&T Note 5 and sold the Verizon Note 5. Everything works fine (4G data and voice simultaneously) on this one. I believe it's a limitation of Verizon Note 5.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] socsoff0404:
Yes. But that is true when you use a Verizon SIM card... with a ATT sim there is no way to get data on the Ver Note 5. So bottom line is on a Verizon Note 5 you must use a Verizon SIM card to have voice and data at the same time, with AC on. On a ATT Note 5 it works by default, no options to turn on and perfect quality.
[T-Mobile LG G3] TheLogicalGamer:
I wanted to try stock Lollipop for a change so I flashed this rom:

http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-lg-g3/development/rom-tmo-d851-lollipop-20b-stock-t3096479

As well as the bootstack. I didn"t care for it. I'd like to go back to blisspop, but when I tried to get into download mode (to flash to stock with lg flash tool) it shows the initial dl mode connecting Icon, and then apparently loads up fastboot. I"m totally lost as to what to do. Any help anyone can provide is much appreciated.

Hi everyone,

I just joined xda and i desperately want to root my infocus m810 running 5.0.2. I tried my best in searching through the internet to find a method. I have already tried most of the one click root methods like kingroot ,kingoroot,vroot, towelroot etc and have also tried their respective PC versions via ADB to no avail.

In focus m810 is a beautifully crafted device with Snapdragon 801 ,2 GB ram and for the price of Rs8500 (i.e 130USD) i was the happiest man in the world. But I have to admit that i really hate the way inlife ui looks and the bloatware it has. Its clogging up my ram , draining my battery and i can't do a thing about it with out root . It kills me to core ,that i can't find a way to fix this and you guys are my last hope.Please help :crying: .Counting on you guys, Thanks in advance.

Now that I have a 6 l need to find a 2 port wall adapter. One port to charge my nexus 9 and one for the 6P. Can anyone recommend a good quality one? Possibly with QC ?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] pudgewack:
I purchased the google 2 port type c charger sold on the Google store. I also purchased a type c to micro usb cable from amazon. Still waiting for cable, but have received the charger.

This should allow me to charge a 5x @ 3a and a nexus 9 at the same time. Not sure how quick the 9 will charge with this combo though.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jwbohrer:
I have a couple 5th Gen Kindle Fires. I have installed the Google Play Store on one, but still need some additional functionality--I would like to add widgets, for instance, which I understand I can get by rooting the device, but I also need some additional control over sound options--the option to route alarms through the headphone jack, for instance, and perhaps a couple other options.

I've also got a few troubleshooting issues to go through (Google hangout messages no longer play sounds, for instance, or provide "pop ups" when the screen is sleeping).

So I guess I'm not sure what is best...should I go ahead and root the device and go through the exercise of adding widgets that way, and hope my other issues can be solved one by one as development continues, or should I just wait for a custom ROM?

I am not in a huge rush, but don't have much experience with the android world, but I've done a fair bit of jailbreaking on Apple devices so could probably root the device now. I just don't know what to expect on android devices, like is there a big bang for your buck in installing a custom ROM vs. rooting the device, and if I root it now will it complicate my life later when custom ROMs are available?
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sd_shadow:
ggow wrote that the stock bootloader/kernel will not support kexec, which means that what can be done with custom roms is very limited
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Moogagot:
There is no reason not to root your device now.

Rooting will not negatively effect your ability to install custom mods if we are able to do that in the future.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshmccullough:
If you don't root before getting the 5.1.1 update, there's no root method found for that update as of yet so you could be waiting a long time if you wait.

I received my Fire with stock 5.1.1 and tried to root according to that link

After the first fastboot command, the device just hangs on "=> FASTBOOT mode..."

And the terminal on my Linux machine is hanging on "<waiting for device>"

Any help to resolve this? The device isn't bricked. I can reboot to stock just fine.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
That sounds like a driver problem rather than a Fire issue and my knowledge of linux is round about nil I'm afraid.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roti2000:
Hmm, not sure. I was able to successfully use adb to install the google play store and run the commands to (temporarily) hide the ads. Plus, "adb devices" shows me the Fire.

I can try from a different machine.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
What about "fastboot devices" when the tablet is hung on "=> FASTBOOT mode..."
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Roti2000:
I did some investigating . It DOES appear to be a drivers issue. Fastboot has different drivers than ADB. I'll have to get that cleared up and give it another try

EDIT: I got my drivers squared away on Ubuntu by editing the udev file. Rooted!
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joshmccullough:
Well.....learn something new every day. Thanks for the correction :)

EDIT: It does look like there's a fair amount of hard/permanent bricking of Fires posted in that forum, even as recently as this past week; the methods being discussed seem a little 'touch and go' at the moment, but it also looks like the forum's hopping with people working on making the method(s) more stable, so hopefully perma-root and even a permanently flashable recovery aren't too far off.
[Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pond-life:
None from rooting. Perma root is there, done and dusted stable as anything.

Just two from trying one method to get twrp access back and one from another attempt, was expected to be risky. TWRP recovery on the device still seems unlikely.

Flashfire is letting people change to some custom roms

Hi, so I've had problems with this tablet and I rooted it to increase it's speed and performance.

Things were going well until I started freezing apps with an Uninstaller Root app and now it's stuck whenever I try hard reset it.

I've tried the whole Power+Vol Up/Power+Vol Down and other tactics but no dice.

Do I need to use a .ROM to get it back?

But I don't have a Micro SD on me right now.

Anyone?

Just to add my two cents, I've never had a problem with either camera; not that I ever use the front-facing one.

But yeah, both cameras work fine in both Google Camera and Vignette (my preferable camera app).
