[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verdut:
So let's start cuz it's a big story. So i have a Samsung Galaxy S4 GT-I9505, rooted, TRWP Custom Recovery, i had plenty ROM's on him, everytime the ROMS worked perfectly except the bugs they already had....

The last ROM i had was Optimized CM12.1 JDCTeam. (http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-orig-develop/exclusive-antaresone-alucard24-s-t3066696) it worked fine....

One day, they made an update of the ROM. Everything worked fine, until a morning 2-3 days after i made the update.... my alarm clock started ringing (as it was meant to be ) but the screen wasn't turning on.

I restarted the phone...but the alarm was still ringing when the phone restarted then it restarted itself. After this self restart....the phone booted with those optimizations (like the cache was deleted.) After it booted...surprise. No sound. At all. No sound in media player, no sound from calls, no sound when recieveing calls, no sound from my mic too.Then i noticed that movies from Youtube and from my gallery were playing in slowmotion, or not playing at all.

I though it was the ROM ...so i installed other ROMs....no success....all the ROMs i've installed had the same problem. No sounds at all.

Then i found a ROM, that played the Boot animation sound but all the other sounds were still not working. So of course this means it can't be a hardware problem anymore.

So back from the start.

Then i found this ROM, an S6 port : http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-albe95-s6-port-1-0-t3092479

This ROM specifies that i must install the latest lollipop bootloaders and modems for it to work. So i've installed the modems and the bootloader given in the ROM topic....then the ROM and surprize....the sounds were working again. But the new problem was that the SIM reading stopped working and the rom was unstable. I've tried other modems to no success for the SIM.

Other Lollipop and KK roms, thinking that the bootloader or the modem was the one that fixed the sounds, didn't work so i concluded is not the bootloader. And then i've installed this : http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-albe95-s6-port-1-0-t3092479 which at start it didn't played sounds. Then i've installed the bootloader from Albe95 S6 port post...and surprisingly sounds started to work on this ROM too. But from time to time the sounds dissapear..and i have to wait like some seconds to minutes for them to come back + the SIM still not working on this ROM . So somehow is the bootloader....but i dont get why it's working only on S6 ports..not even on MM ROM's is not working...

Can anyone help me ?

Edit : I forgot to mention that my partitions are F2FS....if this matters....

Posting a wall of text as you did here is a certain way to ensure your post gets ignored. You want to edit it and break your post up into discrete paragraphs so it is both readable and understandable.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verdut:
Thanks for the tip :) I've edited the post....it is better now ? :) or should i cut some paragraphs?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
No, that's fine. I probably should have PMed that to you rather than post it, but it's a bit too late for that. Sorry.

Anyway, your symptoms, where it occurs erratically, could still be a hardware issue. However, I think it more likely that your internal storage "glitched", and that is causing your problems. Make sure you have a backup of your IMEI and EFS by using Wanam's EFS Backup tool. Then grab an I9505 PIT file, a stock ROM, and Odin. Use them to partition the internal storage (which will format it), and install the stock ROM. See if your sound issues are fixed throughout the ROM. If so, then replace the recovery with TWRP and install the ROM you prefer.

If it still happens even after going through this, then it's almost certainly a hardware issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verdut:
Thanks a lot sir, i'll try this as soon as i reach home. I let you know if it's working.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] verdut:
it seems that the problem wasn;t solved...i noticed something else, some roms , especially stock roms when i use the volume buttoms to change the volume....the rom restarts itself ....
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gdeangel:
Is anyone else having an issue using Helium Backup to transfer data to their new phone? I'm using a Mac and when I connect the Nexus to my computer I get the green checkmark, but my phone hangs on the screen asking to put the phone in PTP mode, despite the phone already being in PTP mode.

I didn't have this problem when backing up data from my old Nexus 6.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saadbaba89:
I am having the same issue. Any solution yet?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matteventu:
Me having the same issue as well...

And it's really bad, I was sure to be able to restore the backup from my MM Nexus 5... Both with Marshmallow, both with stock Android...

I contracted the Helium support but they didn't reply yet...

If someone find a solution or had news, please tell.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luis.rick:
I just got my 6P and i'm having the exact same issue.

Did anyone succeeded in making it work on the new Nexus?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skesseks:
I have gotten this to work by setting starting the software on the phone and the PC and connecting the cable, then using the system settings to set the PTP mode. Sometimes it takes two or three tries.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zxurian:
so are there any other ideas on getting this to work? I'm running a Nexus 6P, I've tried connecting and switching to PTP mode, it verifies and says it's good to go, spends ~2 minutes performing Backup, then puts up the "Backup Error" screen.

I've made sure that my Desktop Password is blank, however when I try to run the backup it does complain about it since the device is encrypted, however it seems to auto-tab through and try to backup anyway.

I have set my encryption pin within the Helium Backup app as well, still can't get a backup to work.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skhekare:
same issue for me too
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jake-44:
Nexus 6p - same problem. Usb debugging is activated, using PTP driver, Desktop app shows green check mark and good to go. Start the backup on the phone app and after about 2 minute pause - error backing up. Tried reloading the app, same issue. Not playing nice with Android 6 at all. Tried My Bakup (free version) and it worked fine.

Guess we'll have to wait for an updated Helium app.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcrandon:
Same problem. On my N6P I can't get Helium to activate using the Mac program. Helium on the phone asks me to switch to PTP, even if I'm already in PTP, and then Settings will crash when I tell it "yes" go to settings to do this.

Gotta have this fixed as Helium seems to be the only way to transfer my old T-Mobile VVM to my new phone. It worked from my N5 to my N6.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcrandon:
This worked perfect for me.

Launch Helium app on your phone but don't do anything else.

Launch Helium program on your computer.

Connect the cable to both.

And all worked ok after that.

It even backed up my T-Mobile Visual Voice Mail even though the author says it wouldn't.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michelmaxy:
I think i have another problem.. after it asks me to switch to PTP.. i tap OK.. then i get a message saying "settings has stopped working"!!

Then i do it all over again.. same result.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abu-khulzat:
Just remove your lock screen security, after that everything will be working fine
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aeppacher:
I had the same issues as described until I tried the chrome app https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/helium-backup/gpglbgbpeobllokpmeagpoagjbfknanl?authuser=1 for some reason it made it recognize that it was connected
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stathious:
Under "Developer options" enable "USB debugging". After that again under "Developer options" there is another option called "Select USB Configuration". For this option select "Audio Source". That workaround just worked for me!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tro11:
My god this has been bugging me for months and this fixed it! Thank you!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michelmaxy:
Nothing worked for me, i even got android N in hope it will be any different, it's the same. i get a message to enable PTP then

"settings has stopped working"

Any other suggestions!?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ldubs:
Same issue here, Helium on the phone asks me to switch to PTP, even though I already did so, and then settings will crash when I hit yes to change to PTP. No bueno.

---------- Post added at 09:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:36 PM ----------

Removed security lock, didn't work at first, then after a reboot it connected correctly and I'm now restoring some of my apps and data (some of them stated in helium that they could not be backed up for some reason).

Thanks!!!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scyzor:
Another user stock on switch to PTP when the phone is on PTP
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigc_13:
I just struggled with this for 30 minutes trying everything suggested above. Finally I clicked the settings in the Helium app and set a encryption pin via the helium settings. This solved it and it worked instantly. It would appear that because the Nexus 6P is encrypted by default Google won't let Helium backup with out also setting a password.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mepsipax:
Got the same problem. Judging from the error stack, I would say the app needs an update for newer Android versions. It tries to open usb setting, but their location changed with recent versions so the app is crashing.
[General Questions and Answers] ribett:
I bought a Samsung J7 from a provider (iusacell mx), I want to use it with another provider (telcel mx) but is locked for the original provider. My question is: if I install a custom rom (twrp) it will unlock it? Or I should first go to the provider to unlock and then install the rom?

Thanks in advance!

Custom ROM does not unlock the phone.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] giobotta:
i see marshmallow has been out for a bit now for the s6 edge. how is there no tar for those of us who would like to try it out?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] 32BitWhore:
It has not been released by Verizon yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] 85gallon:
Google does the update and then sends it to Samsung for testing. IF Samsung decides the update is worthy and fits into their business plan for the life of the phone, they will test the update and correct things that are specific to the S6. IF that is completed then they send the update to Verizon, who in turn, decides if it fits in their business plan and the planned end of life for the product. If Verizon decides to pass it along then they update the code with their specifics and then they release it to the phones.

All of that has to go good before we knaves might see an update.

Unfortunately Android updates and timeline does not fit into the end of life plans for phones by the carriers. That is why we usually only get one or two updates.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] RBThompsonV:
You guys know it's Marshmallow... with an A, not an E... right? Seems like something spell check should have warned you of...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] spadz93:
Don't suppose anyone's heard anything for us VZW guys in terms of getting any updates, have they? About to list my phone on swappa and try to get something else... Not having root access or the ability to even really play with my phone is making this phone kinda boring to me. That and i'm not as much of a fan of the edge screen as I thought i'd be
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] blackra1n:
If you do get a new phone I strongly suggest you get the Nexus 6. A bunch of support and you can unlock the boot loader and get any ROM you want it's awesome. I've been loving mine!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] spadz93:
Yeah it's a catch between the nexus 6 and the turbo 2 if I decide to move away. The turbo 2 in terms of hardware is slightly superior, but unfortunately it seems like it's suffering the same fate as my current phone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] blackra1n:
Yeah so I've heard. Definitely would recommend the Nexus 6 as I'm using it right now and its amazing but its your choice. Price wise its pretty cheap too. Got mine for $225 on swappa
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] ckelly33:

Read a couple of articles about boot loop and other issues for S6 Edge devices that got and installed the OTA so maybe that is a good thing.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] theresin:
Last I heard MM for the GS6E hadn't even been passed on to Verizon for their own "tweaks" yet, but that was back in late January .. I'll see if I can't get one of my inside friends to give me an update.

Usually it goes:

1) Google Release (Nexus devices)

2) Passed on to manufacturers for skinning (Touchwiz, etc)

3) Goes to Carriers (International Samsung devices almost always get updates first)

4) Carriers roll out small batches to customers. If problems arise, it either goes back to step 3 or subsequent patches are released.

5) Mass rollout.

Last I read it was somewhere between 2 and 3 ... but like I said, that was quite a while ago.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Jhall8:
Good luck, all. I'm out. Sold my S6 Edge and bought a Moto X Pure today. So now I have a phone with Marshmallow and the 2/1/2016 security update. Plus, I'm finally free of carrier control over Android software updates. And no carrier or other bloatware on my phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] T1geR086:
I am leaning towards jumping off verizon's ship as soon as I pay down my S6 edge and + that my better half and I use, and it's mostly because I'm tired of like you said carrier control over Android (bootloader being locked ect)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] chamberc:
T-Mobile locked the S7's as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] merlin66676:
Got the best answer from a VZW rep yesterday. I called due to battery drain issues, and asked if they had an ETA, as I didn't want to wipe my.phone twice. Was told that it was likely that if I reset my phone, I would get the marshmallow update pulled upon reboot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Dri94:
They say a lot of things. It probably won't be for a couple months
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] pochie45566:
Did it work?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] 32BitWhore:
I doubt it. It doesn't work like that. They roll out in stages based on your IMEI, not whether or not you wipe. It could be a good sign that we're close to getting it though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] merlin66676:
No, nor did I expect it too.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byproxy:
Back in the day (don't even remember how many android versions ago it was) you could set up profiles (not users) such that (if you wanted) nothing would be different between them except that one profile could be set to have a pin and the other would not.

This was handy for me because depending on where I was I could either lock down the phone or open it up.

Is there a way to do this in MM? Perhaps with an xposed module or something?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shigi1231:
Soo I found a video in Youtube that showcases the performance (in terms of app launching) of the Oneplus X (running Oxygen OS 2.1.2) and Oneplus one (CM). Disregarding the appearance of the Oneplus One, the Oneplus X seem to launch apps relatively fast despite having that Oxygen OS. My Oneplus 2 is currently running OXygen OS 2.1.2, and the app launching is not as fast as the one depicted in the video.

Can anyone attribute to me their own experience with the app launching in their Oxygen OS 2.1.2 in OP2? :)

Here's the Link of the Video btw: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pfi6A3u5psY
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AANISH:
It depends how much apps we have installed in our system. If there are a bunch of apps then system might get slow down
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shigi1231:
Come on, SD810, 4gb of ram, near stock experience. I do not have that much app in my device, i'd say only FB, twitter, and some benchmarks. How's the app launching in your device? you running OS 2.1.2?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shigi1231:
Anyone?
[OnePlus 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtachix:
mine works just faster than the ones in the video, and i have about 81 apps that are displayed in the app picker :)

the kernel on the 2.1.2 is terrible, AK 21 + root + xposed + greenify (without xposed module part, no need) turn off location service, that just drains battery. yep, i greenify everything except for whatever i receive important notifications from (whatsapp, snapchat, drobsync, disa, boot manager, kernel auditor, auto install, adblocker, etc) everything else i make sure i hibernate, even force hibernate regardless of app state.

I have a galaxy s6 G920P. Currently, I'm on Twisted ROM and trying to get unrooted. I've ODIN G920PVPU3BOI1_G920PSPT3BOI1_G920PVPU3BOI1_HOME.tar successfully but when the phone reboots, it'll go to the android update screen, then get the message "erasing", then boot to the black/white screen and it'll hang forever. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? I've unrooted this phone before with no issue using the same cable, port, desktop...completely confused. Thansk.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] southernstyle:
Which version of Odin are you running? Sometimes that causes me issues
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] fc94:
Workaround

I found a workaround for making the firmware stick. Basically, I wanted to update my Twisted ROM to Renegade as it contains all the latest security patches. To do that, I had to take an OTA to update the firmware but the phone simply wouldn't boot with the latest stock ROM.

The workaround was to:

- Do a full TWRP backup

- Flash the stock ROM

-Restore backup minus the radio option

Rebooted and the latest firmware, OJ7, stuck. Hope it helps someone else.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] fc94:
On a separate note...is it my imagination that the new modems are slower and slower? Speed test from OF7 to OI1 to OJ7 is slower, not faster. Just my observation. I'm not sure if it was worth the trouble to update the firmware.

A question to the senior members...what's the purpose of updating modems if it more or less works the same from build to build? I understand that some were changed to work internationally, but in general, what's the purpose? I thought it was for stability and speed, which was not an issue with the older modems.
