[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] BattsNotIncld:
T-Mobile and I believe Sprint are the only carriers which don't make it a point to lock bootloaders; or at least give you the option to unlock. Since the Qualcomm S7 is not carrier specific you should be able to bring one from any carrier and use it on Verizon. However, im not sure if Verizon lets you bring your own phone (unless it's an approved Verizon phone). The s7 will be the same for carriers, but i wouldnt be surprised if Verizon installed some proprietary software on their s7's to distinguish it from other carriers. Meaning that any s7 not purchased from them would be unable to register on their network.

Really not sure though. I just know how they normally operate as I used to be a customer before switching to TMo.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Losthenes:
This is probably a question that someone already asked.

Im in Quebec and i'm wondering if i could get a phone in the us with exemple t mobile or verizon to use here in Quebec with the plan from them.

If there a way to do this, Will it cost me ton of Roaming data or calls?

Our plan in quebec are way too expensive compared to usa or other place in the world.

Thanks in advance.!

I have installed marshmallow ROMs and everytime I completed my root access was not recognized. The thing is I can't restore my backup from Titanium Backup if my root access was removed. Do you guys have any idea why this thing happen? See picture attachment for screenshot. TIA. ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
If you at running cm13, root access can be found under development options.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Yes, Official CM13 roms have root disabled by default. You will have to activate it manually from the developer options. An alternative is to flash SuperSU.zip.

SuperSU works better than the built-in CM root manager; For me at least.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlengfung:
what i did is after i flash the ROM, I install superSU 2.50 but still no root access.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
What rom is this?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlengfung:
I used Super WizCyan ROM.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
And what roms did you lose root on?

Because SuperWiz Cyan is not marshmallow.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrlengfung:
Im using Albe95 S6 Full Port 4.7
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Both of these roms are pre-rooted. They both come with SuperSU installed.

Is there a way to calibrate the pedometer. Mine is right on with my jawbone up24, but a friend is off by about 15ish percent.
[Sprint LG G4] DaemeonZane:
So, I juat bought the G4, thinking that since it had been out for so long, maybe things would be well in place on the development side. Boy was I wrong. So... I have a few questions as to what's going on.

1. The ROMs that are available seem to only be ZV5/6, with the exception of a stock experimental ZV9. What, if anything, can be done to help push that along? Are there any tasks for us junior folks that have a little experience that can help make this happen?

2: I see root for ZV9 isn't a thing. Using the ZV6 TOT, should I just downgrade and wait?

3. Can anyone describe for me, in detail, what kind of security measures are preventing so-called "full" ROMs to be used on this device?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] shlomki:
I had to jump over some stupid fence today at my work (didn't want to go all the way around), so i asked my friend to hold my universal while i jumped.

maybe i should have held it myself, because the universal slipped from her hands, and fell down the 3 story building, hitting many many stairs on the way down.

from a first glance i thought its the end of my beautiful relationship with my uni.

but actually after opening it up and checking its insides - it looks pretty okay! nothing seems to be broken or loose...

the problem is: is won't even start. so im trying to discover where malfunction is.

i've tried:

Switching batteries

Plugging it in to a power source (computer / wall)

Dismantling body and screen, tightening all of the connectors

Bootloader mode - not showing anything

Connecting with MTTY - but i can't even get it to connect

Turned on, waited for 5 mins and called it to see if it'll ring (to eliminate screen problems) - forwards to voicemail

Nothing worked, the screen is always blank.

when i plug in a power source, a red light flashes REALLY quickly, and then goes off, after that nothing happens.

the only thing that gave me a clue its still alive somewhere inside - when i plugged it to my computer, windows alerted me i plugged in an unknown device, even when i tried to put it in BL and connect again.

Does anyone have a clue what i can do next to find where the problem lies, and bring my love back to life???

please, i need help on this. :(
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] XTCrefugee:
Mine fell a few feet from my hand to the (concrete) floor and was the same - no signs of trauma but completely dead, aside from a light when connected to the charger.

I think the damage will be to the mainboard, so it's a either a case of getting a new board and fitting it, or buying another universal and selling the dead one for parts. I opted for the latter.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] Bulldog:
My Condolences!! as long you can not find some lose cable or what so ever I believe you will not able to bring your "love" back to alive.

After connecting to your Computer RED light and Your computer doesn't recognize the Device indicates major issue.

Unless you have someone that can work with JTAG. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=309291
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] shlomki:
hehe, thanx for your replies.

i don't know anyone who deals with jtag, but maybe it'll be a good idea to look for a private repair lab which works with jtag.

i guess for a small amount of money they could help me find the problematic part.

i wanted to avoid sending it over to a some random repair lab, because they might turn out as just some amatures and tell me that the whole main board needs to be replaced, instead of a specific part...

so i'll start with some searching :)

anyone else have any more suggestions?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development] dj_gabzz:
mine fell from my pocket and red led pops up only when connected to the charger.. i sent it to ppctechs.. they put it under the infrared oven and nothing happened, so its not lose solder nor connectors nor nothing.. its the mainboard, its hard for it to be replaced as far as component level goes.. but who knows.. personally i think just sell it for parts.. sorry, thats what i did and boutght a new one off ebay for 400

good luck and sorry to hear that..

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbaluka:
I have a Verizon S3 d2vzw with an unlocked bootloader runnign Oct M Android 6 custom ROM. When I use the back camera I takes pics just fine. When I use the front camera it takes pics just fine in low light i.e. when the light is to low to take a decent picture. When I move to a location where the light is good I get a force close. "Unfortunately Camera has stopped". The Camera is version 2.0.002 (7a32386e9-30) org.cyanogenmod.snap that comes with the ROM, but I tried it with Open Camera from the Play Store and I got the same issue. Has anyone ever heard of anything like this? Perhaps someone would be able to speculate...

Update

I now believe this is a CM-13 issue. I'm not certain if it applies to devices other than d2vzw, but all CM-13 based ROMs for d2vzw e.g. Oct-M and AICP, have this issue including CM-13 Nightlies. If you search "camera" in this thread you can read all about it: http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3-veri...m-cyanogenmod-13-0-nightlies-verizon-t3269675 Also in the threads for Oct-M for d2vzw and AICP for d2vzw I've found the same issue being discussed. When I originally posted this I was using Oct-M and there was no talk about this issue in that thread and in all my noobiness I thought I was the only one in the world that had the problem. I didn't think of searching threads for all CM-13 based ROMs. In light of this discovery I'm questioning the usefulness of this thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Pretty unusual.

The phone is old and you're running old firmware. It's really hard to tell what the issue is. Could be a hardware or AOSP issue.

If you can take a logcat while the phone force closes and you can see how it fails. You can post that in the cm thread and see if you can get the developer to fix the problem. You can post it here and I'll tell you when it's failing.

Alternatively, you can attempt to boot up a stock based rom and see if that camera is still giving you problems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] bigbaluka:
Camera Firmware?

I was reading about camera issues and I read something about "camera firmware". I thought the phone's firmware included firmware for the whole phone. I guess that's why sometimes there's separate "modem firmware". I'll get a logcat done so someone with a clue can pehaps buy me a clue. I've been meaning to try Alliance ROM from beanstown to see if the problem persists with a stock based ROM. I was messing with it yesterday in a dark room and the front camera works fine 'til I turn on the light then I get a big fat FC as soon as i take a picture. No problems with back camera. I love my S3 and it's in very good shape, but I think it may be getting tired. I've been wanting a Nexus 6 or 6p for a while now. Those seem to be my only options since for now I'm stuck with Verizon. I think all bootloaders should have the option to be unlocked by the user. They could even put up a big scary warning, notifying us users of all the chaos that might ensue from recklessly unlocking our bootloaders. Here's one of the posts I found about camera firmware. http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s3/general/jb-4-1-2-camera-driver-t2006128

Thanks for your thoughts on all this wierdness.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Droidriven:
Camera is usually always an issue in CM ROMs because the stock camera firmware is closed source so the devs can't use it, they have to piece the camera firmware together themselves. Some devices never get the camera straightened out in CM.

Ink'd from my KrAkEn'd S3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] BadUsername:
Right, hence my suggestion to use a logcat since it's impossible to tell if it's aosp or hardware related. Camera usually still works on aosp, just not nearly as well.

[AT&T HTC One (M9)] bentz69:
Standard htc one m9 with ATT. not rooted and up-to-date with android 5.1.

I went to domincan republic for 2 weeks and I purchased the att passport package. Once I was there, I searched for networks and used the Claro 4g network over there the whole time. Once I return to the US, the phone refuses to automatically connect to the ATT network and continues to search for the claro network.

What Ive done so far.

-muliple restarts

-remove sim

-When I go into network operators, both options "search networks" and "select automatically" are greyed out and I cant select them

-When the phone is restarted, the "network operators" screen pops up and lists ATT, sprint and verizon. But when I try select any of them, i get an error message saying "operation failed"

-ive reset the APN to default multiple times

Heres where it gets weird. I popped out the sim and put it into my htc one m7 and the phone works fine and connects to the att network. I can make calls and use the web. Once I place the sim back into the M9, it will connect to the att 4g network briefly. I can make a call to my voicemail very quickly once i gain service and it will work and I can browse the web during the call. Once the phone call hangs up, the connectivity bars slowly go down until i lose service and the a msg pops up saying "Claro Network unavailable". I can repeat this cycle over and over.

I tried placing the sim card back in and resetting the APN right away a bunch of times. This actually allowed me to stay connected to the ATT network for a few days. HOWEVER, I had to restart the phone and I was back to square one.

ATT was no help and they basically told me to hard reset the phone. WTF.

Any advice?

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Napa39:
I've noticed during the time I've had my Nexus Player that random things have been connected to its Bluetooth, like my neighbor's phone (by accident). I've checked the discoverable items in my area, and the Nexus Player always shows up. I want to make it not discoverable, in case someone with malicious intent connects to it through Bluetooth and installs malware or something, but I can't find any option on the device or any answers anywhere on Google or anywhere else on the internet.

Any help would be appreciated!

[Nexus Player Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asadullah:
I was looking into the same thing a few months ago (don't know how I just saw this thread). The only thing you can do on a stock rom without root is to turn the bluetooth and/or wifi off. The apis that usually would stop discover mode ..... well they don't work.

[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tinodevoe:
Hi folks, I've been updating my phone using the latest rom I can find on this site for my rooted (bootloader unlockable) Bell mobility D6603

One of the things that has been driving me crazy is that I always see the notification that a new software update is available but it can never 'verify' the software for me to download it. So I end up trying to find the equivalent on here which is getting really annoying. Also I'm thinking of selling this phone so I would like to find a way to stop these messages and to see if going back to a stock rom will allow the phone to update the standard way so I don't get emails from the buyer claiming I sold him a busted handset.

If anyone can help me out with either a way to get the phone to update without having to do it manually, or a way to flash a stock rom that does, that would be much appreciated.

Here's a screenshot of my current install:
[Xperia Z3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beetle84:
The reason it cant verify the update is because you are rooted.

Find and flash a stock ftf for your device through flashtool and you will be fully unrooted and be able to download updates ota.

I will be posting some reviews up in the future but wanted to give people a chance to ask some questions about the ones I have here.

I do have more cases on the way from other manufacturers (CoverON and Ringke).

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] bastage:
I also love my Spigen case's..

Ordered the Neo Hybrid - Satin Silver & the Thin Fit - Black.. Both are cases that I have had for other devices & loved.

On a whim just because I like the way it looks I also ordered the OBLIQ Leather Slim Fit in Brown which looks to be nothing but a fancy TPU case, but after having the leather back for my G4 I love the leather feel in hand so I figured I would give it a shot.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Milimbar:
The Tough Armor is slightly bulkier and has sharper edges.

The Slim Armor is thinner and has rounded sides.

Both of them feel nice in the hand and do not look like they will add that much bulk.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] liangzidaigo:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] 0x000:
i have never had such a case before (actually no case at all ever, but for this 800 euro thing i'll get one ;)

and i'm wondering what's the difference between spigen "neo hybrid", "ultra hybrid" and "liquid crystal"? e.g. in terms of protection? the neo has 2 pieces, i'm wondering here quality-wise whether the outer frame will loosen after time or in pockets? i guess neo hybrid crystal would be the best protection according to the price tag? :) transparent with gunmetal frame would actually look quite cool with my ordered white s7 edge

Story Leather Review

Hello, would you like to do a review on Story Leather Cases if we sent you some?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Milimbar:
Hello Anthony, I would love to review the Story Leather Cases.

I have always liked the looks of your products, PM me and we can set something up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Milimbar:
Received more from Spigen, Ringke and CoverON today.

I still have cases in the mail from Artech 21 and TJS.

Based on the review samples sent to me I would not recommend the CoverON branded cases.

The plastic is cheap feeling, the rubber is thin and flimsy, and two of the three cases I received are bowed and will not be usable on a device.

The Spigen cases are all excellent and I like the Ringke as it comes with a back protector and a cutout so you can add your own style to the case.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Milimbar:
Honestly, I have 18 Spigen cases beside me right now between the ones for the S7 and S7 Edge.

If you want to know about the craftsmanship and materials....

I have 18 samples to look at and can not find a flaw in any of the ones from Spigen.

No scratches, no deformations, no bowed or twisted frames.

The materials used all feel very nice in hand, the plastic parts are all soft touch and do not feel cheap.

If all you are worried about is materials and craftsmanship, Spigen is top notch for TPU and plastic cases.

The one Snugg case I have currently is fake leather, however you literally can not tell, it even smells like real leather.

The inner part of the wallet case from Snugg is made of a material that feels like suede and will be nice and soft on the glass of your phone.

The seams and stitching are all straight with no missed stitches.

The magnetic enclosure is completely hidden so you do not see a metal snap like thing on your case.

Overall it is a very clean looking case.

Again the Snugg case is one of the best I have had for craftsmanship.

The ones I have from CoverON however are some of the worst I have ever seen as far as craftsmanship and materials (as well as quality control).

I have 4 cases from them and 2 are twisted so badly that I doubt I will be able to even get them on a phone.

They all have plastic flash on the edges that I will have to remove.

The feel of them is very hard and squared with rough edges everywhere.

The rubber they use is extremely thin and flimsy. (Yes rubber they do not use TPU)

I do not recommend CoverON at all.

I have one case from Ringke right now and I would put it on par with the ones from Spigen, materials and craftsmanship are spot on.

The one from Ringke has flaps on the port covers to keep dust out.

Some people will love that and some will just think of it as a hassle when you need to plug something into your phone.

Myself I have no strong feelings about them, they do not bother me to be there, but also I do not really need those covers.

Sorry to talk so long about this, if you have more questions, just ask and I will try and answer.
