[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
Thanks for the reply. On the download screen (Vol down + Home + Power on), assuming this is what you wanted to know, it says:

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: GT-I9505

CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official

SYSTEM STATUS: Official

KNOX KERNEL LOCK: 0x0

KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

WRITE PROTECTION : Enable

eMMC BURST MODE enabled

I imagine that most of this isn't relevant, but I'm posting it in case it's useful later.

Also, thanks for the thread linked, but that's actually one I quoted in terms of rebuilding the NVM! Everything appeared to go through, but the problem persisted. The only difference was that the final reboot took less than the three minutes predicted, and was closer to instantaneous. I didn't get any error messages, and assume I followed each step correctly.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
I had that installed to try and figure out the problem, including whether the handset had been previously used or not! Amongst other things, it says that a headset has used once, although I don't believe it has been. This is what made me think the HK seller had previously tested the handset, and initiated a region lock.

Are there any specific screens you'd like me to take shots of?

I've since tested another SIM from a different network in the same S4, just to be 100% sure it wasn't the current SIM, and the problem persisted.

(All help appreciated, and thank you).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joku1981:
All screenshots if possible (IMEI Screen not necessary if agree with the one under the battery).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
So there's all the main screens - the IMEI does match up, but I posted that screen anyway.

One thing I thought was strange is that when I performed the serial check in the menu options, the software said it wasn't a valid serial number. That's despite what's double-checking behind the battery.

And thanks for taking the time to look at this.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
An EFS backup? I've not heard of that before, and am fairly sure I don't have one. I can't repair this myself then, I assume?

I think, instead, I'll just have to return the device. The seller has already said they'll accept a return, and we've taken videos as proof the phone appears to be faulty. So starting from scratch with a new device is the way I'll probably go.

Any idea how this could have happened? :(

Thanks again for the continued support.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
Sorry to bump this, but here's what's happened - the seller in Hong Kong wouldn't take the phone back, so we got a refund, which is of course great. However, we still have a phone that we'd like to use.

I called up Samsung UK and they took the IMEI, but said that it was a Hong Kong phone (despite being an I9505, which I thought was the European model). Because of that, they won't repair it - something about not having the parts or software, although I highly doubt that's true.

Is there anything we can do with it? :( If nothing else, it seems like such a waste of expensive equipment otherwise.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
They are lying to you. An I9505 is an I9505 and it doesn't matter where it's from.

1. Flash the latest stock rom trough Odin. If it succeeds go to step two.

2. Load up the stock rom files again (make sure you also have the bootloader selected) but this time use the i9505 .pit file, check re-partition and select nand erase all.

Try it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
Thanks very much for this! The latest stock has already been flashed with Odin, so I should be good on step 1.

I don't have the phone (or Odin) in front of me right now but I was planning on using the file from this thread. I'm assuming they're all the same and that this one will be fine.

So in step 2 when you flash the .pit, do you also flash the latest stock again at the same time?

I'm looking forward to trying this, even if I'm a little scared too! Hopefully this will fix it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lennyz1988:
Step 1 is only a test run to make sure Odin works as intended. So don't skip it ;)

Yes you flash the files at the same time.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
Got it! Thank you. And when I load up Odin for step #2, I assume I'll leave both the default check marks on, but also add Repartition and NAND Erase All.

:good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
I've just started step 2 and it's flashing now - but I may have made a big mistake! When you've said:

..I've ticked "Phone Bootloader Update" but I'm now wondering if you actually meant choose a file under BL on the right side. I don't know what file that would have been. Which was the right thing to do?

(And thanks again for your help, btw)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
Okay, it completed although it doesn't seem to have made any difference whatsoever. Everything is literally the same as it was before - Android didn't install from scratch, the device name is the same, it looks like nothing changed. Yet Odin said the processes completed.

I'm confused. At this point, I guess I'll have to take it into a Samsung store and have an unpleasant conversation hoping that it, somehow, results in them taking it in.

:(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
I'm not sure I did it right with the bootloader part, maybe that was it :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schnidex:
I'm posting this for the benefit of anyone who experiences the same problem and finds this thread.

My phone was sent for repair to Fone Fun Shop in Sheffield, UK and has now supposedly been fixed. There were two reported problems.

Firstly, one of the partitions had become corrupt and the product code/IMEI information was damaged. A Riff Jtag box repair was performed.

Secondly, however, the antenna was damaged inside the phone and out of aligned. Worringly, the phone was sold to us as new but appears to somehow be a refurb. The screen had previously been replaced and the antenna was not put back properly.

Videos on how to check for this second problem are available on YouTube, although I didn't want to try it myself and wasn't sure this was the problem anyway, so sent it for repair. I hope that helps someone.

EDIT: Unfortunately, I've now had the phone returned - and it still isn't working. :(

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cute_kayani:
Hi, i have been facing battery drain from past two weeks in my note 5.at night if battery is 90% than at morning it use 10% and moved to 80% without any use. And second the DCMProvider continously draining battery. And clear data, force stop doesn't work. I have set everything accurate no data sync on auto. Wifi scan is off, wifi on during sleep is also set to never. Two days back i reinstall firmware through smart switch buy DCMPROVIDER Comes back. Don't why it use to drain battery. Before two weeks every thing was okay. At that time i check through safe mode, system app cause wake lock during night at sleep. And than dcmprovider comes and reinstall didn't work.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brava27:

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cute_kayani:
I have tried to stop it, and set it to off on auto start after boot. But it comes back. My phone is in warranty and i don't want to root it to look into depth and stop this.

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] manishvy:
Man...goto samsung service and see if they can help.... otherwise you can root
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wilkhaven:
I had the same problem with my N920C, did a full factory reset and it still went from 100% to 30% overnight without any usage. Then I found this app: Gservicefix

I followed the instructions to run it and even with WiFi and Location left on it now drains less than 10% overnight. It also fixed the wireless charging problem so I no longer need to use DayDream mode to keep it from stopping the wireless charge.

I have no idea what this app does but I have a stock, non-rooted Note 5 running Android 5.1.1 and it has worked wonders for my battery life without having to mess about with settings of disable/stop other apps or services

I should add I have no connection with the software or its developer.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cute_kayani:
Thanks, i try this app and let you know.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cute_kayani:
For DCMProvider i don't know, but for night high drain. Now phone going back to normal.

Follow these steps to stop idle high drain.

On your GPS and select only wifi and Mobile network and off GPS.

Than go into lock and security and other security and than device administration and off all. It might save high idling drain. And syc should be off so that it can't auto syc. Android beam, nfc all other are also at off.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cute_kayani:
DCMProvider still draining battery. The app doesn't worked for me. But the night high drain in idle comes down due to change of some settings which i mentioned in my one post.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bigwaverider:
Greetings. I received my Nexus 6 from Amazon. It seems as though the top speaker is considerably louder than the bottom. When I flip the phone upside down, it is still the top speaker that is louder.

When I turn the phone to landscape mode, it is the right speaker that it louder. I flip the orientation to where the former right speaker is now the left and vice versa. It's the same problem where the right speaker (the former left speaker) is still louder.

Any help would be appreciated.

I pressed the stylus and it didn't click. I pressed it harder and it sunk into the device...

Any ideas what might have happens or how I get it back out?

When I get home, I'll try and post a picture.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donc:
I had the same issue about 3 weeks ago. I tried several ways to attempt to pry it out but was afraid of damaging the phone. I took it to the local Sprint store and they swapped me out for a new device. They did not even attempt to repair it but went right to the back and pulled a new one out of the box.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KruseLudsMobile:
How about this - put a drop of super glue on the end of a strong string. Touch the end of the string to the end of the pen. When it's dry - pull!??
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
Mines imported to the UK, so unlikely to get it swapped :(

Yeah, I'm wondering about something sticky to pull it out.

Is it easy to get a replacement from eBay? I've also thought about just sticking a pin in it and trying to pull. Maybe drilling a small hole in the stylus to hook something in and pull. Then just replace the stylus.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpencerA99:
Mine is stuck because I work outside and it got dust in it so the spring will not work. The only way for me to get it out is to bang it and drop it on the corner of the phone on the carpet a couple times. (obviously with a case) Have you tried this?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
If it helps, this is what it looks like -
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
So drop it onto the corner the stylus is in? I'll put a case on in a moment and try, thanks.

**EDIT** That worked! Thanks. Likewise, it seems the spring isn't working for some reason. I might try some lubricant, otherwise I'll order a replacement.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpencerA99:
The bottom left corner is what I used. This could work for you if it is a spring problem in the spen but if it is actually stuck in the phone then I doubt that it would work
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
Sorry, I edited in while you replied. Thanks, it worked!
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpencerA99:
If you get the spring to work tell me what you did so I can try. Im gettiing tired of dropping my phone to get the s pen out
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
Yeah, I don't fancy it myself either. I've sprayed some WD40 on it, but it doesn't seem to have helped. Looking to get the eBay seller to cover the cost of a new one, otherwise I'll just order a replacement. Looks like about $36 to ship to the UK. (About £25 for me)
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
UPDATE: I sprayed the end of the stylus with WD40, but not much seemed to change. I've been using a different phone for a day, come back to the Note 5 and the WD40 must have soaked in or something as it's almost as good as new.

I've done the same again, sprayed it and left it overnight and you wouldn't know there had been an issue now.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jammol:
I know this device doesn't really have much metal in it, but please be careful of using wd40. It actually causes metals to rust once it's done doing its job. It's best to use brake cleaner or silicone lubricant.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndyCr15:
Hi, thanks for the tip. I've only sprayed it on the stylus, but I guess it could corrode the spring inside?

Anyway, it's working for now at least!

Hi everyone.

Every time I watch a YouTube video on a specific WiFi network, the internet stops after 3 minutes of watching the video. There will be a message saying "Connection to server lost. Touch to retry".

This happens on YouTube app as well as the YouTube website (using Google Chrome).

When this happens, I have to wait around 4 minutes for the internet to start working again and when I try to view a webpage on Chrome, I receive this error: DNS_PROBE_FINISHED_NO_INTERNET

This problem happens on any version of the YouTube app. I have also cleared all data in Google Play Services and YouTube.

Does anyone how to fix this?
