Mine is the same.

Smart switch says requesting permission but phone does nothing
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panopticum:
having the same problem since 6.0.1, hope it gets fixed soon
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartalord:
can you at least restore from 5.1.1???
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cretu01:
I solved this by factory resetting the phone, which primary disables the purpose of the smart switch backup (i wanted to backup the sms, call log etc. to restore them after factory reset). However, i used smart switch mobile app on my phone and used OTG storage to backup and restore. After factory reset, the prompt for allowing permissions appeared instantly on my phone. I hope it will be fixed in a future smart switch update.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giorgiot:
same problem since 6.0.1? Any ideas? I dont want to do factory reset....:( :eek:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Connus:
Since my 6.0.1 update

Hey y'all I have got the same message as well and i really don't want to have to reset the phone.... it is such a pain to re-set up!!! surely this is a bug. anyone knows how we can report this to Samsung??? Surely an OTA patch can sort this no??:eek::rolleyes:
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Niks321:
Does anyone have solution for this problem. I am having the same problem. Smart switch won´t make backup without some permission. But whatever I do is not helping. I dont want to make factory reset just for that because I got MM update today and don´t have time for that . :confused: :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maarawoe:
Same here on 6.0.1
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masheded:
Anyone figured this yet?

Can see the phone and it's contents in Win 10 but Smart Switch wont let me back up after today's mm update.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zizon65:
Are you on MM? If so you need to manually allow permission as MM always ask for it and for any single app! Lollipop didn't behave like that, but MM yes!

How to do that? Like there is no pop-up
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Merken_:
Via the application settings of the Smart Switch app ?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jefkim666:
So, now we need to install Smart Switch mobile as wel? It used to work with only the pc program. Sounds like just another datamining 'feature' I'll just stick to myphone explorer.

*And without anything changed, it magically is working again
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.garside92:
I reset my app preferences and it worked after that. I'm running 6.0.1 unrooted.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giorgiot:
PERFECT! IT WORKS! THANKS a LOT !
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexboy:
I have there same problem since upgrading to 6.0.1 on my S6. I have the latest version of Smart Switch 4.1.16032_18.

This version works fine with my S4. So I guess there may be a problem with the Android 6 update.

Hope they fix it soon.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dexboy:
I think this is a Fix ( with thanks to "mike.garside92" )

I Have now got my Samsung S6 using Android 6.0.1 Backed up to my Windows 10 Pc using Smart Switch

There is no need to load the" Samsung Smart Switch Mobile APP "

On the phone, Tap Settings - Applications - Application manager. Then Tap "more" (top right of screen).

Then select " Reset app preferences ". A window appears saying this will reset your preferences etc. tap reset.

Then reboot phone. When you next connect your USB cable to backup to Smart Switch on your Pc,

A window will appear on your phone, asking to allow Access, Tap allow and you are away.

Hope this helps Guys
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Tinus_:
You can also do a small restore (for example call logs or messages). This wil trigger a permission screen. After this you can backup your phone using Smartswitch.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jupiter99:
Have been on to Samsung re this problem with S6 - they said firstly to go to the dial pad and put in *#0808# and ensure that the MTP &ADB is switched to on - then reboot. If this doesn't work, reinstall the software on computer and if this doesn't work then go into Settings, Application Manager, More and reset app preferences. Re-plug the phone in and it should work. Ours did anyway! Hope this helps someone! Jan

I've smart switch installed on my pc which is running Windows 10, but whenever i open the application it show the error message "The ordinal 12404 could not be located in the dynamic link library" please help.

Hello Khuzema

You have a Microsoft file missing, I have tried to post the missing file address, but is blocked by this site (for safety).

If you search for the line below

Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Feature Pack Redistributable Package (x86)

Down load and install the file and it should work

Hope this helps Ted

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cuttlebug:
I've just had the same problem, it's all to do with the permissions, Follow the steps below, it worked for me.

"Settings"

"Applications"

"Application Manager"

"More"

"Reset app preferences"

It took two days of having my S6 with the Samsung Techies to fix it.

Hope it works for someone else

SmartSwitch, galaxy S7, THREE HOURS wasted, not working

SmartSwitch, Smart_Switch-PC_setup4116121x.exe

latest update, cleaned out smartswitch cache on phone, restarted, restarted, restarted, etc, etc, etc

it is USELESS, piece of CRAP . !!!

sorry for bluntness, but I'm fed up with software that when installed, does not work.

I have set permissions, reset permissions, answered prompts for USB access and for permissions, ;

it starts to look at building lists, reading phone, etc, etc -

states it is backing up music, playlists, apps, etc - BUT, the bckup file is NOT increasing in size, stays at about 75 kb, AND when it gets to 100%, it states "operation cancelled by user", or "operation failed", etc.

I posted an email to samsung, but saw this thread, thought I'd post here, see if any othr solution, assistance, etc.

all I want to do is back up this phone - homescreen, apps, etc; and all it has cost me is time.

any other solutions appreciated

thanks

Go look it's pretty cool
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] CLARiiON:
How does it feel using it? Give feedback guys..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] altimax98:
I was there today and they had a demo with no straps or anything on it, it was an edge.

It is a lot smaller than it feels and it is light. It really is a pleasure to hold.

The focus is everything they claim it to be. No hunting, near instant focus. It will focus faster than you can, its crazy.

The edge goes down the sides a little more than the S6 edge, but since the back is sloped and they worked it the edge is not as sharp.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ibcenu:
^what he said. Light to hold, one hand easy operation. Also was not red hot like the s6s on display

I really wanted to test the fingerprint security but they had it disabled in the menu
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] peachpuff:
Can your thumb reach the notification menu? :p
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ibcenu:
Yes, I had a note 4, went to iPhone by mistake 6splus ....so maybe I'm used to the reach. It was was easier to handle over the 6s plus. Smaller in physical size as well
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] hella356:
Taking the Edge features out of the equation, how do you think the general usage of the S7 vs the S7 Edge compares? I'm curious about how web pages, pics, videos, etc. look on the curved screen vs the flat S7. Do you really notice the curve in normal use?

Seeing as how the Edge is not much bigger physically and only 5g heavier than the S7, but with a considerably larger screen and battery, I'm considering the Edge even though I initially had no interest. I love the size of my S4, and the S7 is very similar in size, which is good, but it also weighs almost an ounce more, which I don't like.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ibcenu:
I only looked at the 7 for a short time. The screen is not that much smaller and would probably work for most.

My 1st thought was that the curve of the edge would be like wasted screen space, but after seeing it, it is not.

Coming from note4 the it would be hard for me to go to a smaller screen. I used to use my laptop at home all the time. Since having a larger screen on the phone, the laptop only comes out when it needs to.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ekerbuddyeker:
I still think that though it is beautiful and a technological marvel, the edge is a gimmick and a slight disadvantage over a flat screen for reading, pic movies etc
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] shadow82x:
How so? I've nearly had the edge for a year now and never had any issues with reading or movie watching. In fact I feel as if the edge enhances the movie watching experience.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] hella356:
Thanks. After seeing a number of articles & videos about the Edge capabilities, they don't look like anything I'd ever use. I briefly had a Note 3 and a G4, which were both too large & unwieldy for me as a daily driver. The Edge isn't significantly bigger bigger or heavier than the S7, but sports a phablet sized screen, so I guess I'll have to check it out for screen usefulness & one-handed use. I really don't care at all what a phone looks like.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ibcenu:
I felt the same way even though I pre ordered yesterday. I was skeptical, but was on for about 20 minutes @ Best Buy and know I made the right choice. For me anyway
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Kilroy672:
I wonder if all Best Buy's have the demos out. I could call before heading out. My local Best Buy doesn't seem have very much demo wise.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] hella356:
I went to Best Buy. Impressive devices. My gut feeling is that the standard S7 will end up being my choice. I'll probably pick up the Edge at T-Mobile a few months after release (I want to see how the ROMs shake out) and try it out for a week or two before deciding if it's too big. The size was borderline for me, and the size of my old Note 3 just felt worse to me the longer I used it, so I'll need to have the option to return it. The Edge is very tall - Note-level height - and one-handed usage was not good. (I'm a 5'-8" male with average sized or slightly smaller hands.) Much better one-handed than the Note 3 and G4, but it was pushing the limits of my hands. To me, the curved screen was a bit disconcerting, but was better than I expected it to be as far as seeming distorted. I definitely like flat screens better, but I think I could live with the Edge in that regard. The standard S7 was of course much closer in size to my S4, although it was a fair bit taller, as well. Not enough to be problematic, although I consider the top & bottom bezel size of both devices to be too large, especially coming from the very compact S4. Not Apple-level gigantism, but a bit disappointing. The weight of the S7 was also noticeably greater than the S4, another negative. But all in all the physical characteristics were pretty good.

They looked great. My battered S4 looks perfectly fine to me, so obviously I don't really care, but credit where it's due. They had black and silver versions in the store. The silver looked pretty cool, but was horrendous for fingerprints, whereas the black was much better in that regard. They were also less slippery in the hand than I thought they might be, which was great.

Camera was way beyond any phone I've ever tried. Actually, I've never used a digital camera that was as quick and clear as the S7. The screen quality and brightness are also the best I've ever seen.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Maknora:
all I wonder is, if the fingerprint scanner is improved, even slightly, in the 7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] ibcenu:
I went to try it and the option is locked out of the display model. I would have deleted it but makes sense for them to disable it. Peeps be locking it and walk away

I hope it works good. It's the ONLY thing I like from the iPhone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] hella356:
I found the fingerprint scanner the same way. I did enable Developer mode, but it wouldn't let me actually active it. Understandable.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] rn4j0r:
Welp, looks like I will be headed to BB after work today.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Maknora:
yea iphone has that advantage over us. best fingerprint scanner in the market i'd say.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mobeast17:
Just played with the edge at BB. I made a great choice. Its slim and feels good in your hand.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] chong67:
I play with both phone yesterday. The edge thing doesnt look like on white background. Other color it looks OK.

I already preorder the S7 to replace my Galaxy Alpha. My other phone is the Note 5.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] barondebxl:
I just had my hands on both the S7 and S7 edge.

Great devices overall without a doubt. The black Onyx is the best color hands down IMO. It looks super elegant but all colors do attract fingerprints.

The phones is not a big departure from the S6, it looks almost identical as you may already know. The camera is almost completely flat and the home button is more flushed otherwise its just like the S6. Can't believe the S7 has a 3000mah battery when it feels so light and thin, same goes for the S7 edge.

The S7 edge size is great, its the smallest 5.5 inch phone I have handled and its very comfortable. Same goes for the regular S7, feels smaller than I thought which is great IMO.

The phones are very very speedy, top of the line. The camera looks to be great but can't really draw any conclusions based on a couple of shots.

Again the black Onyx is really great, would recommend it to anyone.

Is it worth spending $700 on? I don't think so to be honest. This is an S year for Sammy and its great don't get me wrong, but I'm not sure that I would spend $700 on it when I can get an S6 at half the price. I just wished the S6 came in black onyx as well. For those upgrading on contract its definitely worth it for the battery and IP68 certification. As far as SoC the S6 is still one of the most powerful phones out there.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] skywalkr2:
My trip to BB at lunch today solidified my choice on the Galaxy S7 black onyx. Someone may have to explain to me sometime on why they like the edge. I didn't like the edges at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Crewville96:
Went to Best Buy after work, both phones do feel smaller than what you would think, lighter as well. I thought the gold platinum model was the silver at first, the girl there told me it wasn't and I had to pick it up again to look. The gold doesn't look bad at all, but I still prefer the black. I preordered the black S7. Hard to beat that deal: free Gear VR, $50 in games, and a 64GB Micro SD card. I'm pumped.

Crap, forget to test the audio while I was there. Can someone play a youtube clip or something when you go and see if sound comes out of the speaker on the bottom and the earpiece like the rumors have stated? Or did anyone that's already gone try it out?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] petersavo:
From all the pictures I've seen, the black s7 looks like it has no silver trim around the home button. Can anyone who's seen it in the flesh confirm this?

Also it looks like it has a black grille on the ear speaker.

Maybe its a trick of the light?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jooosty:
Omg the S7 feels so nice in hand! And that black is pure amazing. The camera is probably the best I've seen.

Also the Gear VR was pretty damn cool.

HEY GUYS TODAY THE REVIEW THAT WE ARE GOING TO SEE IS ABOUT THE BEANSTALK ROM.

THE ROM HAS ANDROID M LATEST 6.0.1[1 FEB 2016 SECURITY PATCH].

ITS MAINLY BASED ON CYANOGEN ROM.

THE PROS OF THIS ROM ARE

PROS:

1.Runs on marshmallow latest.

2.Best battery performer till now compared to other android m based roms.

3.Has root option in the developers option.

4.All cm themes runs without any lags.

5.Stock android experience and quite fast.

6.The fastest camera capture in this rom than any other.

7.Storage is good but we can accept this much in 4GB

internal storage devices.

CONS:

1.You have to use banks gapps no other gapps will work if u install any other than your phone will stuck on bootanimation.

2.Except bootanimation.zip no other zips can be installed like supersu.zip if u try then again it will stuck on boot.

3.Front camera function in the roms camera app sometimes never work even after rebooting ur device.

4.The developer of this rom has named the device name as "**** you".which isn't good when you have a windows 10 pc like i am having once plugged cortana will say "**** you connected ".so it is a con for me.

5.You should not turn off the developer option if did then no way to get it back even clicking the build number several times which means say bye to root.

6.You can't hide your lockscreen pattern.

SO GUYS THESE ARE THE PROS AND CONS BUT I WOULD LIKE TO CONCLUDE THAT THE ROM IS FAST BUT IS NOT THE BEST BUT I CAN ASSURE YOU THAT YOU CAN USE THIS ROM BECAUSE IT DOES NOT LAG IN ANYTHING AND DOESN'T HANG.I HAVE MADE A SIMILAR REVIEW IN ANOTHER SECTION TOO.

PLEASE SEE THE SCREEN SHOTS I HAVE ATTACHED AND GIVE A THUMBS UP IF U LIKE IT. ALL QUESTIONS ARE WELCOMED AND HAVE A GOOD DAY:o:o:o:)

[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin526:
Hey all.

So I have a previously rooted FTV that is now unrooted and on 5.0.5.

Everything was great until just a couple of hours ago when I sideloaded Kodi via Apps2Fire. Everything seemed OK at first, but I quickly found after about 5 minutes that when on the main screen, I am unable to access the "Apps" section. When I scroll down to it, I am redirected up a couple of entries to "Movies." If I scroll up to the "Apps" section from beneath it, I am redirected down a couple of entries to "Photos." I tried a factory reset, but that did nothing for me.

What can I do?

I'd greatly appreciate any help that can be provided.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quicklyfrozen:
I'm seeing exactly the same behavior on a Fire Gen 1 and a Fire Stick. I had Kodi installed on both. I also tried a factory reset on one with no change.

So I can't help, but you're not alone :).
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skytcam:
Exactly same problem never rooted mine tho did. factory reset still same problem
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin526:
Quicklyfrozen and skytcam, when did this issue start for you two?
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skytcam:
I noticed it about an hour ago maybe a little more
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quicklyfrozen:
I just noticed it today, but I don't normally use the apps category (usually just pick something from the recents list).

A couple days ago (probably Saturday) I noticed that my LLama + Classic TV solution wasn't working anymore to launch Kodi so I assume the software was updated around then. After searching for a bit on that issue, I read that side loaded apps were supposed to show up on the app list now so I thought I'd check it out (and found it broken).

BTW, I've never rooted either device, just enabled ADB and side-loaded Kodi and LLama.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] code101:
I'm having the same problem. It only started early. This afternoon. I tried everything that others have tried but nothing doing.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justin526:
Well then, I'm hopeful that this is a temporary issue on Amazon's side and that they'll resolve it. I guess we'll see.
[Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quicklyfrozen:
Seems to have resolved itself on both my devices. Must have been a server side issue.

And after side-loading it again, Kodi does show up in the "My apps library" list.
