[Galaxy S6 Active] BlueCider:
What are some of your cons for the device?

I've heard various things about it, such as there's some faint line down the side of the screen on most all models.

Some people claim that the speak on speaker call sucks.

etc etc. Anything you don't really like about the phone that could be most people's gripe about it?
[Galaxy S6 Active] lirex:
Mine works great. Nothing to complain about...
[Galaxy S6 Active] Rakcoon:
First, fingerprint sensor. I need security but entering pin/code every time I wanted to unlock the phone was cumbersome.

Second, is availability at the time of purchase. It wasn't apparently available with carriers in Canada.

Third, popularity, and community development and support. Galaxy s6 has more users, and therefore, more developers working on its rom.

Fourth, availability of accessories due to Galaxy S6 owner population vs Active.

I can overlook all other points, but missing the fingerprint sensor was a deal breaker for me.
[Galaxy S6 Active] BlueCider:
For me, the lack of a fingerprint scanner isn't a deal-breaker. I guess I'm 'old school' or something. Though I understand the convenience of it.

I'm on the edge of picking up this phone, but, kind of worried about what type of specs the S7 Active will have and will it be worth the wait.

Currently with the S6 Active, my concerns are:

No Root (not a deal breaker)

Slowness of AT&T updates (not a deal breaker if ODIN is reliable and we can get timely firmware updates outside of AT&T)

Length of time it's taking to get to Marshmellow

Quality of speaker and using the speaker phone (I've heard that it's not too hot)

Lack of accessories (agree with you on this, doesn't seem a lot out there)

What I don't like about S6 Active:

Placement of the audio jack port. Really should be on the bottom, like the S6

No expandable memory option

No removable battery option (Not really a deal breaker if the battery has no issues and will remain effective for at least 3-4 years.)

Not enough bands to support international carriers and carrier aggregation support to the fullest by having as many bands possible (Not really a deal breaker, as I'll get a few where I am).

Touch-Wiz. Rather to to some stock android OS rather than have all the crap on the phone. (relates to having a root)

But beyond all of the above, the phone looks really really nice and I'll likely pick it up anyways, for lack of anything better, IMO.

I was thinking Nexus 6P, but it's just too big for me.

Nexus 5X, just kinda of too weak for me. (has less bands than Nexus 6P, actually)

I was thinking just a regular S6, but like the Active design better.
[Galaxy S6 Active] Sanadrate:
Just bought one,for durability, came from the V10 and loving it so far.
[Galaxy S6 Active] BlueCider:
Succumbed

Well, I picked up this phone(64GB Version). Got it to update to 5.1.1.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but this phone is simply beautiful.

The weighting and feel is also very very nice.

It's a quite zippy and fast phone.

So far, on the whole I'm liking this phone alot.

However some points I've come across. Any suggestions or resolutions welcome.

Minor Dislikes:

Forced to see carrier's name on top-left of lock screen (Not just specific to this phone)

└ I'd prefer to see useful icons on the status bar(left-hand side) during the phone being locked.​

Notifications Management

└ In order to remove Heads UP notifications, I've had to download an application like: HeadsOff​

└ Some applications, in order to see the icon in the status bar, the rectangular static notification remains on the lock screen, wasting screen real-estate. There's no way to remove this static notification from the lock screen without adjusting the settings to remove notifications from the app, and then that removes the icon in the status bar.​

└ Some applications like Accu Radio won't show the player controls on the lock screen. No matter what combination of notification settings are used. (Not really the phone's fault but..)​

Fingerprint Scanner Lacking

└ While the Active doesn't have a fingerprint button to scan fingerprint to unlock the phone, I thought Samsung had some models that used the actual screen to do this. If so, the option would be nice to have on the Active​

Headphone Jack Location (Not just specific to this phone)

└ I still don't see why phone makers are putting the jack at the top of the phone. Many people put their phone in their pocket. The natural insertion direction is the way one is holding it at the time of use, the top goes into the pocket first. Yet if the audio cable/jack is jutting out from the top, it makes it hard to put in the pocket, as well as decreases the life of the cable, etc. (not a deal-breaker, but an annoyance for sure)​

Touchscreen SUPER sensitive

└ I've found that the screen is simply overly sensitive to touch and find myself many times mistakenly activating something else, before my finger even touches the screen.​

└ Currently I do not have a screen protector for the phone, so not sure this will matter.​

Other's Pain points:

Speaker Location/Quality

└ While the speaker isn't in the best of locations, I haven't really noticed and sound degradation/quality. It's a mini speaker. We can't expect blasting Dolby 7.1 haha​

Active Key easy to press accidently

└ I have not found any problem with this, and I typically don't encounter having this button activated unintentionally with my day to day use.​

└ Some applications like Accu Radio won't show the player controls on the lock screen. No matter what combination of notification settings are used. (Not really the phone's fault but..)​

Fingerprint Scanner Lacking

└ While the Active doesn't have a fingerprint button to scan fingerprint to unlock the phone, I thought Samsung had some models that used the actual screen to do this. If so, the option would be nice to have on the Active​
[Galaxy S6 Active] BlueCider:
Add another dislike:

Samsung Touchwiz and how it handles, doesn't allow handling of LED definition.

Unfortunately, Samsung, in their infinite wisdom, have blown up their Touchwiz and made it virtually impossible for applications like Lightflow, to define custom LED colors for applications.

The best that can happen is that some 'workaround' by the author of Lightflow can be used, but that just leaves the Badges and Notifications icons on the status bar for you to clear out manually, after reading your email or messages.

Price to pay to have any control over LED.....

Just one more reason I want root....
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turtlewings:
Hi folks,

So I recently sent in my Z3Compact into repair due to the faulty audio jack (literally a week before my 1 year warranty ran out). They've fixed the audio issue but I now noticed that the notification LED light is super weak/dim.

I've ran the diagnostics test and it'll change colors from the green > purple > red but the level of intensity is just flat and dim.

I've downloaded Lightflow + other LED Notification apps to test different colors but same issue. I can see it in the dark dimly but I cannooot see it in daylight or in indoor lighting.

The phone was factory reset when I got it back but I figured I'd try it again. No luck.

What do you guys advise? It's really frustrating as I usually have my phone on silent and often rely on the subtle light notifications.

Thanks for your time!
[Windows 10 Mobile] rogjr8086:
Hello folks, I'm developer for embedded and I see that many persons have a problem with the driver QHSUSB_BULK.

This is a RAW driver in the Lumia phones differently the reason to occur the Android phones, in android phones is indicate a usually problem in partitions, but the bootloader is intact, in windows mobile, this index indicate a series of extreme problems in the ROM and bootloader, but if the driver can be installed with the windows device recovery tool, its ok, your phone can be repared using the thor2 option in the WDRT, but if the phone dont recognized and the driver can't be installed, the driver stay QHSUSB_BULK, the phone is dead, just using JTAG to recovery the ROM and the bootloader together, bcz in windows phone the partitions are different that the present in android, in android the partitions are in stuff like a computer and the bootloader controls the boot (like a BIOS n POST in PC), but in windows mobile the bootloader is incremented in ROM, how the windows 8.1 boot in PC, it is an auto control inside the system.

Well guys, its a explanation why someone can recovery the phone and another cannot to do.

My lumia is full-bricked too, bcz the windows 10 was upgraded yesteday, just remember folks, who are using the W10M disable the auto-upgrade, its is brick a lot of lumias. The upgrade can be doing, but first give a rollback in cellphone using the WDRT.

Best regards friends.
[Windows 10 Mobile] vecdid:
rogjr8086,

I have the exact same problem on my Lumia 640 LTE RM-1073. I have tried everything and nothing has worked. I have spent countless hours and days. I finally decided to call Microsoft and get warranty service, and what a pain even that was. First to get a hold of the right person/phone number was a royal pain, but finally got someone on the phone for Windows Phone support: (888)665-4228 and (800)246-6542. Turns out there is a 1 year warranty on all Windows phones. So they had me go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/mobile/support/warranty-checkers/. Only problem was when I would enter my IMEI number it said it was out of warranty, yet I bought it from the Microsoft store. So while on the phone the agent took my info, sent me an email and I had to take screen shots of my order email from November of last year and email the screen shots back to him. I now have to wait 2-4 days to get a result from the warranty dispute and supposedly a shipping label. If it was out of warranty, it would be about $45 to get repaired from what another agent had said. Either way, hope some of this info helps someone else as it truly was a pain to just get a hold of someone at MS. I would love to fix the phone in the meantime, but I just cannot get it to boot not matter what I try.

Thanks,

Jim

Guys..i quick question before i give up on my lumia 640 RM-1077. The device is completely dead and when connected to PC it reads as QHSUSB_BULK. Is there any which way to recover the device? I understand from your discussion here that there is no hope when a Lumia encounters that message.. but just wanted to confirm it before giving up on bringing it back to life.

[Samsung Gear S] dodgedabullet:
Hope someone can help as starting to p!55 me off.

When i got my gear s, around 3 weeks ago i tried to use watch styler but all that happened was a message saying "create a theme", so left it. A week or so later there was a small update for gear s which i installed, and surprisingly watch styler started working. I then spent a VERY long time creating some great watch faces. But surprise surprise watch styler has stopped working again, its stuck on the very first face i created and won't apply any new ones. I can change the clock to any watch faces off samsung gear apps store but no new styler faces. I've tried everything i can think of, the only things left to do is to watchstyler app data or completely uninstall and re-install the app.

As i said i spent ages creating watch faces and i don't want to lose them.

Can i clear app data without losing my created faces?

Is there anyway of saving my creared faces? I've tried sharing them with all options available but get the usual "watchstyler has stopped working" message.

Or is there any possible fix without re-installing or clearing data without losing my created faces.

Please help i'm losing patience with it.

[Desire 816 General] thoctor:
I appreciate the fact that you took the time to make this forum post to help people but you should really be helping them here in these forums so that others can come later if your not available and use the same information to help themselves. Now, whatever you did to help this person is now on Mark Zuckerberg's personal servers and not where it belongs. Here on XDA.

Every once in a while you might need to P.M. with someone for a specific reason or if something is off topic for a particular forum or personal in nature but you(in my opinion) should also do that here on XDA as the moderators provide us with personal mail accounts here. Which I make use of. If your worried about not knowing something or making an error let me put you at ease as today I made a huge error while helping the same person who you just offered to help at the Zuckerberg's .

I admitted my error then apologized and did everything I could to resolve the issue even asking for help from another XDA member by XDA's mail service . This member, Nukaro, graciously offered to help and was able to get the person's device back working again no thanks to my mistake (albeit an honest one). The point is that this was all documented and saved here for others to learn by and use in the future. Do I like a mistake I made being left in a forum for all to see. Hell no, because I take a lot of personal pride in helping people here . But I'm happy to leave it as a learning tool for others as well as myself to not make the same mistake again and if your not able or not willing to do the same you have no business posting here in my humble opinion because that's not really helping anyone. I've gotten more knowledge from reading the back and forth interactions with people here on XDA's forums than I ever learned from any tutorial. Food for thought and good luck to you.
[Desire 816 General] MaE_sTrO:
100% True, instructions should be available for anyone to see maybe someone has the same problem if mine was solved on facebook no one else will be able to benefit from it. we all learn from our mistakes and the thing that happened with me gave me a better understand to how things work with rooting, flashing updating.... by the way this post was before this little problem that happened with me as i was also trying to unroot beside fixing the binary issue. Anyway thanks to your effort i got what i wanted and people who may have the same issue will also benefit from it in the future.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] T.Leela:
Hello, using my husband's old skyrocket as main driver, pleasantly surprised with how much I'm enjoying using it...thought there'd be more lag etc. And was thrilled to find continued development. (Couldn't find my old sign in info BTW) Anyway apparently I'd rooted and unlocked it and put a gingerbread debloated stock rom on it when he first got it, as that was there...tried candy 5, loved, but needed more app space. Tried app2sd and just messed that up...Tried cyanogen, read instructions, did things a little differently (unintentionally) at first, somehow not registering the fact that the official twrp was for virtually repartitioning, tried to repartition it in the modified version, of course it didn't work, finally gave up and flashed ROM anyway and gapps (tried both nano and pico from link. )

I'm not sure how but it did install and basically seemed tp work, the only issue seemed to be keyboard force closing and later the browser and root issues. I wondered if something I had done originally with phone contributed to why it installed if it shouldn't have been able to. MMS (cricket) won't work on this or candy5, tried several radios and apns.

Anyway I saw what I did wrong with twrps, figured that would fix things, virtually partitioned correctly, seemed to have same issues and intact kept adding more... tried many times: wiping reformatting, clean install, dirty, reflashing whatever...it just seemed worse every time...everything force closing including settings.

I have no clue what happened, what I was doing wrong, gapps I read should have a script added to the ROM to prevent the force closing, and Im assuming it is there....also though a couple times offered to have rooted in twrp it never seemed to do it, never worked right if I tried anything manually instead, caused more shutdowns. Something abt pit file in instrutions makes me wonder if something i had done before could cause issues? Cant remember what that was specifically though. Thanks! And I apologize if this is hard to follow or or makes no sense. Probably. BC it really doesn't haha....BTW I did read anything I could find so if I a missed something obvious I apologize.
