[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fergilla123:
Hello I recently rooted my phone on 5.1.1 (Lollipop) and everything went well no issues till last night when I tried to install xposed installer and ended up soft bricking (I think) my phone, where it will turn on to the samsung s6 edge + logo and just sit there and won't go any further. I found out how to flash to the original firmware using Odin 3.10.7 and with the stock firmware file.

now I put my phone into download mode and connect it to Odin, put the firmware file into the AP section and hit start.

Once I hit start I get a fail message and this :

<ID:0/003> Odin engine v(ID:3.1100)..

<ID:0/003> File analysis..

<ID:0/003> SetupConnection..

I've tried different firmwares from different sites, different odin verions, USB ports please help :(

I tried uploading pictures and links to the firmware I used but apparently I need 10 posts before that so if you want to know anything else in order to help please ask.

Hello

I used this theard http://xdaforums.com/android/development/clean-debranding-p8-gra-l09-t3210658 to upgrade my phone. Unfortunetly I downloaded wrong soft: exactly from this page http://consumer.huawei.com/pl/mobile-phones/support/downloads/p8-lite-pl.htm#anchor

and did all steps in guide.

After that, I have no connection, talks don't work, in one word - there is no network.

For example: If I start on a web browser, then I immediately lose network and it says "no service" or "only emergency calls"

Guys, please help me and say how to fix it. I'm newbie....

Hello,

first things first I am a total noob at this and simply don't know what to do. I did some research about on how to root my phone but after looking at the posts and other stuff I am more confused and lost on what to do. I found the following posts:

1) http://primehowto.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s5-active-sm-g870f-easy-guide/

2) http://xdaforums.com/att-galaxy-s5/general/how-to-root-g870aucu1ang3-gs5-active-t2868776

3) http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/help/root-s5-active-european-sm-g870f-t2957117

But after I read all of them I was more lost than before. Lets start with post number 1. I found a lot of similar posts to this one but they almost always mentioned "Steps to Root Galaxy S5 Running on Android 4.4.2 KitKat Firmware". By this point I should mention that my phone is running on 5.0 Lollipop. What I don't get is if my phone needs to have 4.4.2 KitKat to be successfully rooted or not. Post number 2. I later figured out why this process wouldn't work. It's because my phone model is not the same (laugh all you want but I did tell you I am a noob at this stuff). Post number 3. This one is similar to post 2 but it has following steps:

1. Take the NG3 OTA update.

2. Download and install Towelroot-v3.apk(this version does not require internet access).

4. Flash the G870A_NE4_Stock_Kernel using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+). (This step wouldn't work because the phone models are not the same. I at least did figure that on my own.)

5. Root using Towelroot. (Turn the phone on and run the app? And then proceed to step 6?)

6. Power off then boot into "Download Mode" again. (What comes after?)

7. Download attached SM-G870F kernel (NJ4) (Should this and the next step be in place of step 4?)

8. Flash the SM-G870F NJ4 kernel using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+) and restart your phone

Bolded questions next to the steps are mine and not by the author.

If you could help me with this I would be really grateful cause I'm really interested in rooting my phone but I don't want to brick it. And you wouldn't only help me but also other people in the same position as me and for the future reference.

[XDA Assist] Droidriven:
Hello,

None of that will work on your device because you have 5.0

Do a google search for "how to root Galaxy S5A G870F lollipop 5.0"

That should give you results for any working methods for your device. Good luck.
[XDA Assist] ColdHazard:
Yeah i did but there were only this kind of roots for my phone
[XDA Assist] Droidriven:
Try the universal rooting apps for android or the universal android rooting tools for PC. A Goole search will give you a lot of universal methods, try as many different universal rooting tools as you can, one of them might work. The universal tools and apps I'm talking about are known for rooting more than one kind of device.

Also, the towelroot mentioned in your post, if you tap.the red lambda symbol it will open a menu that has values that you can change, try different combinations of values, you can do some Google searching for the commonly used values that are known to root various devices. Try as many combinations as you can until you've tried all the possible combinations, after changing values just go back and tap the "make it rain" button, if it doesn't work then go back and change the values to another combination and try again until you've tried them all.
[XDA Assist] ColdHazard:
Ok i will try that. I'll let you know if i succeed.

Hi.

I searched for a forum for this phone but couldn't find one so am posting here.

Just bought this phone arrived this morning.

One thing that I am noticing that it chews a hell of a lot of memory... The phone comes with 3gb and after a restart I get 1gb free, is this right that a Android is taking 2gb to run in the background?

Another thing is im not a big fan of the os it comes with and it seems to be buggy with some apps forcing them to close, plus there is still some bits in Chinese after I switched the lingo to English. Is there another room I can put on.

How long are you supposed to get from the battery?

Same here with the rom and the battery. Ir doesn't work either. What can we do?

Thank you.

Allright guys,

As a lot of users here and all over the net are angry for not having 64 bit software on a 64 bit device, we'd like to make sure Samsung knows what we think of this.

The question is plain & simple: Will you buy Samsung brand for your future devices if they do provide a 64 bit Android for the Note 4 Exynos?

Thanks for your opinion!

Forenote: I believe I am in the correct forums section but If I am not, please redirect me. Thanks.

My phone is rooted. I have kingroot installed.

I am trying to spoof my mac address on my android for wifi. I have downloaded just about every app on the Playstore that has to do with automatic MAC spoofing/changing. I have gotten two apps to work. The app "MacSpoofer" (and another app I cannot remember) that have appeared to change my mac address, but when I try and use the internet I cannot connect to anything.

It says I have correctly spoofed my mac, and it displays two mac addresses; my original mac address, and then below it, it shows the new mac address that it has given me to use, but when I try to connect to the internet on the wifi it cannot connect to anything.

If anyone has a solution to my problem or another app I could use from the playstore that would work with my phone, or a guide I'd appreciate it.
[XDA Assist] Darth:
Hi,

Here is the section for your device, http://xdaforums.com/t/galaxy-core-prime

You could ask there for help. My guess though, is that since you rooted with kingroot, you still have a write protected system, and therefore can't accomplish this. Just a guess though, as I don't know about your specif device. The folks in the section above do though.

Maybe this could help too, http://www.xda-developers.com/spoof-your-mac-address-the-easy-way/

Good luck!

[Samsung Gear S2] yackeysp:
Hi, I just got this watch this weekend and haven't really got a chance to experiment with these apps yet. During the little bit of time I did, I experienced the Nike+ app would lag/skip while music was playing every time I would try to look at the screen. On the other side, the S Health caused my watch to reboot twice for whatever reason.

I was wondering, what are the differences between these apps? If you use one versus the other does the information still get transferred/communicated to the S Health information or the Nike+ results such as the distance and average pace? One other question, is there a way to make the display last longer? It seems as soon as I would try to see my current run's information, the movement of my arm would cause the display to shut off before I could switch between screens, which is pretty frustrating.

Anyone else have any experience with this? Thanks.
[Samsung Gear S2] Avatiach:
I didn't experience the issues you mentioned on the apps - maybe a reboot would help?

I did suffer from poor GPS reception on both apps, though S health seemed a little better on that front (just from a couple of runs). I'm on the TMobile 3g model.

You can connect the Nike and S health apps. When you do so, S health gets a new tile reporting some stats from the Nike app. Clicking on that tile will simply open the Nike app for the full details.

I'm not aware of a way to set a longer time out for the screen. I beleive this was added to a firmware update that so far is only available in Korea, hopefully we'll also get it at some point here in the US. Not sure if changing the screen to always-on might help with the hand movement issue - I'm using the wake up gesture too, so have no experience with that, unfortunately.
[Samsung Gear S2] yackeysp:
Thanks for the information. I did do a reboot last night, hoping that helps.

So between the two apps, they're basically the same and it just comes down to user preference? Glad to hear they share the data. That's a good idea to always leave the watch face on, at least only while running, I just don't want to kill the battery in the first few hours. Hopefully, the firmware gets pushed to us soon, it would make that a lot easier.
[Samsung Gear S2] bebeloneovvl:
Other think that really bothered me yesterday on my first run with the watch (3g, Tmo), was that I was listening music from the watch through some BT headphones, and when I pressed the home button to go to the music app to skip tracks, when I went back to the Nike+, it started again. Did not kept in the background!!!
[Samsung Gear S2] Avatiach:
Just to clarify, the data sharing is one way - you can see some data from Nike on S-health, but I don't think it works the other way round
[Samsung Gear S2] bebeloneovvl:
Also, how can the data on my watch sync with my Shealth on the phone, is it possible?
[Samsung Gear S2] Avatiach:
Yes, the phone app gets stats from the watch - for example step count or heart rate measures are shown on the phone app. Unfortunately I don't remember if I had to do something to make it work or if it syncs automatically, but it's definitely working :)
[Samsung Gear S2] yackeysp:
Good to know. Looks like I'll be using Nike+ to start out with. To answer bebeloneovvl, I didn't do anything in the settings and my phone synced with my watch to the step. It didn't at first but over night it did and ever since then, once it's in bt range it syncs.

I also noticed that if you're running on the treadmill, if the location/GPS is on it isn't accurate at all, but if that's turned off it's pretty close to what's on the treadmill. Seemed to for me anyways. I didn't even attempt to start either app, the S Health just automatically recognized I was running. I'll have to try the Nike+ app tomorrow.
[Samsung Gear S2] bebeloneovvl:
Thanks for the answer. I did a restart and it seems to work well now. Today on my second day of running, using the watch alone, the distance was wayyyy off. My 4 mile route, that I've been running forever, on the watch measured 3.50 miles. Found that pretty odd, maybe GPS signal drops along the route?
[Samsung Gear S2] yackeysp:
I haven't had the chance to run outside yet with mine, so I can't give you any advice on that, that does suck though... Which app did you use?
[Samsung Gear S2] colinzeal109:
I found this thread while Googling inaccurate readings with the Nike app on Samsung Gear S2.

I've run outdoors with it 3 times so far and each time has been way off. Not only is the mileage off, but I noticed while looking at my mapped out run online afterwards that my path jumps all over the place. I ran on a track and it showed me running through the infield many times. Also, I was jogging on a 9 minute/mile pace, but the mileage breakdown showed I was running 4 to 5 minute miles then a huge lump sum of the leftover minutes went to the end of the run.

I've rebooted the watch before runs 2 and 3. I also switched GPS mode to GPS only and not 'GPS and Network'. On the 3rd run, I removed the link between Nike and S Health then ran without heartrate, music, or cheers. Still had inaccuracies.

I was in the market for a Nike watch, but when I saw the Gear S2's with built in Nike App I couldn't pass it up. I love everything else about the watch. I hope they can get these issues resolved. Mine is on the T-Mobile network.
[Samsung Gear S2] yackeysp:
I was really hoping for better results than that... I agree, I love the watch and all the capabilities it has but that's a pretty big factor for me. I really want to keep this, but if this is consistent then it may just be going back to AT&T. We'll see how accurate mine is this weekend. I'm sorry to hear that though.
[Samsung Gear S2] colinzeal109:
With the watch being new, I'll give them a chance to fix it. Perhaps a Nike competitor will swoop in and create a better app. In general, there's not many apps available for the watch. I'm looking forward to what the developers can come up with.
[Samsung Gear S2] kobayashi2015:
running with g2 is inacurrate

I get some issues also. my 6 km run is only 5,5 km with the g2, because at some point, i was looking at the watch and it doens not counted that half km. I will try next time to run with the watch disconected for the phone, because I suspect that it takes the possition from the phone gps, and at some point, the watch disconects from the phone, and maybe that's why it drops the signal

Please try your and give us your review.
[Samsung Gear S2] colinzeal109:
I did some more experimenting today. I ran at a local high school 400m track (4 laps = mile).

Here's what I tried this time:

- Turned Bluetooth, WIFI, and NFC off

- Switched Location to GPS only

- I was using T-Mobile 4G network, clear blue Texas skies

- I unlinked the S Health and Nike App to try to prevent any clashing

- Closed all apps that were running

I launched the Nike app, didn't use music, heartrate, or cheers.

I jogged 8 full laps in lane 6 which should of been just over 2.1 miles but it logged me for 1.92.

My map was all over the place. I wanted to post screenshots but I'm a newb and can't until I have 10 posts here.

I don't expect it to be a perfect oval, but my cheap ZTE phone that I usually run with maps it much cleaner and a lot more accurate.

I ended that run, saved it, then ran another 8 laps in lane 2 with heartrate on this time. It says I jogged 1.8 miles instead of just over 2.

I noticed that there is no way to check the GPS signal before running. On both runs, it didn't show the map until halfway through the first lap. I wonder if that's when it started tracking my run :confused:

The phone app and Nike watches sync up and make sure you have a good GPS signal before you can run.

Another issue, although minor, I didn't see where to enter the track/road/trail or the shoes option.
[Samsung Gear S2] colinzeal109:
I uploaded my path from Nike on imgur, but I can't post it as a link yet.

Decode this and take a look-> imgur dot com/609x3Ws

I swear I wasn't drunk during the 2 runs. I ran in the same lane on an oval track and the GPS was all over the place.

Also, I started and ended in the same spot but it's not reflected on the map. It shows I stop early.
[Samsung Gear S2] Sher The Love:
I bought the AT&T version yesterday, mainly as a running device, but also for the smart watch perks. I ran three miles this morning and my experience was terrible.

I left my phone at home, turned off all connections on the watch except for GPS. I brought along my Garmin Forerunner that I've had for almost six years that has been reliably accurate.

It took a good 3-5 minutes for the GPS to initially lock on (I assume the location icon turning solid means it's locked on). I started down my street, which is residential houses with little tree coverage. By the time my Garmin said .40 miles, my S2 said .20 miles. So I decided to try in cycling mode, which I've seen recommended somewhere (running supposedly uses the pedometer instead of GPS for distance).

After switching to the cycling mode, distance seemed to be much more accurate but pace was being difficult. When I swiped to go to the pace screen, the GPS symbol was usually blinking and pace was blank. After a couple seconds, pace would kick in and start trying to match my current pace. Again, the Garmin does this much quicker with varying speeds.

I switched to the Nike Run app and that's just a terrible interface, even worse than the Shealth.

Not only is the GPS tracking pretty bad, but my general experience with the interface was terrible. I have the always on screen mode set to on. The screen of course goes back to ambient mode when the watch is in a certain position. Most of the time when trying to read my stats, the screen wouldn't go to the on the mode, so I would have to touch the screen or spin the dial to get it to turn on (I was also pushing my son in a stroller today, which made it more difficult). On top of that, I have to then scroll to whatever data screen I want to look at. All that screen space and they can only put one stat on each screen.

The Nike app was even worse because I can't even manually change what data I'm looking at. I have to wait for it to scroll through, which IMO, is pretty dangerous is you're running by traffic.

Overall, the experience was just terrible. It's going back to AT&T. I really wanted to like this device, but can't. It was actually great as a smart watch and I really like the look. Unfortunately, the running experience is a complete deal breaker.
[Samsung Gear S2] colinzeal109:
Welp, I contacted Nike support Friday and thought I was on the right track, told them everything that was going on and they said their engineer was going to look into it. Yesterday they wrote me and said it's a Samsung problem. I contacted Samsungs support and they are telling me that it's Nike's problem. Samsung also said it's a 3rd party app, which it is, but there is not a way to uninstall it. It came loaded with the watch. I've tried to reinstall the Nike app before to try to fix the problem but it doesn't show up on the uninstall list.

I just love it when they pass the blame back to each other while I'm sitting here with my $350 GPS watch that doesn't work correctly.
[Samsung Gear S2] colinzeal109:
I used the built-in S Health app and the map of my run was messed up too, so that rules out Nike's app as being the culprit.

I am sending the watch back to Samsung so they can run diagnostics on it. I'll have it back in a couple of weeks then I'll give it another shot.
[Samsung Gear S2] nsical:
GPS inaccuracy?

I just got my new Gear S2 from T-Mobile (3G version) today and did a 5KM running and some walking. I also carried my Galaxy S4 with runkeeper on it. Nike+ app on Gear S2 showed me at 4.9KM. Also as I was running I looked at the watch to see my current distance, but it wasn't updating the current distance instantly. I am very upset for this. Basically I needed a solid GPS watch with phone capability. Do you know if the GPS chip is not good enough or is it a software issue?
[Samsung Gear S2] colinzeal109:
I got my watch back from Samsung and it's still doing the exact same thing. I wasn't very hopeful that it would get fixed.

I contacted T-Mobile and they are sending a new watch to try. If that doesn't work, I'll just get a Nike watch.
[Samsung Gear S2] thejdoe:
Standalone GPS tracking?

I have the 3G watch on Verizon. How can I use the Nike or S Health running app

without

my phone? If I open and try to use the Nike app, it tells me to connect to BT using my phone first. Really? Isn't that the point of 3G connectivity and built-in GPS??

Thoughts anyone?? Surely I am missing something, it sounds like others of you have used the watch without the phone.

On a side note, I guess you cannot get GPS turn by turn nav without a BT connected phone?
[Samsung Gear S2] colinzeal109:
You should have BT connected the first time you launch the Nike app, that way it shares the profile from the Nike app on your phone. After that, you should be able to run it in standalone mode.
[Samsung Gear S2] thejdoe:
Yep stupid me. Forgot I reset the watch and my phone the other night, so I didn't have Nike app installed on the phone anymore. Oops.

Does anyone know, is there a standalone GPS navigation app? The "Here" app needs a phone connection.
[Samsung Gear S2] colinzeal109:
Meet the new watch, same as the old watch.

It does the exact same thing and doesn't track the GPS and mileage correctly. I called TMOBILE to let them know that it still doesn't work and that I'd like to return it and they said there is nothing they can do. I just want to return the damn thing so I can go buy a Nike watch.

EDIT:

I was able to get ahold of another rep via social media and they are working with me now.
