Lag? what lag? I did not even root my phone because it's blazing fast already. I think you are just complaining because you can't root your S7E branded (I assume you have Qualcomm), return it and buy the international model if you want rooting, twrp and all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] methosivanhoe:
people actually still buy phones without doing full research and checking facts first? wow, i thought that breed had died out...

surely if you're spending that amount of money on a phone, and know you want to root it for custom roms... you'd research the chipset and development first just to make sure?

as for lag? god knows... even without root and custom roms the S7 Edge is stupidly fast for me, handles everything i need without even the hint of lag on it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] agentdeep:
Correct! When I bought my S7E yesterday, I specifically told the shop that I want G935F model, if it's not then I won't buy.

Damn, this fellow is supposedly a power user, but guess what, didnt even know the bootloader is locked. What the hell?? It's like buying a car, the engine being the most important part to you, yet not knowing what are its specs. Dude, everyone was complaining about this before launch when tmo annouced it on their twitter. If you want to feel secure, go huddle in a corner.

I did do research. That's other peoples reviews. How can you actually review a phone yourself to see what it's like.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TouchOdeath:
By default the LG Sunrise is set to 16bit color depth. I want to change it to either 24bit or 32bit. The phone is fully rooted with su permissions. The file that controls the bit depth is located @ /sys/class/graphics/fb0/bits_per_pixel. After I ran this command: #chmod 777 /sys/class/graphics/fb0/bits_per_pixel

I tried the below:

Kernel Tuner suggested by: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36712165&postcount=7

Kernel Tuner doesn't present the option to change the bit depth.

I've tried #echo 32> /sys/class/graphics/fb0/bits_per_pixel as suggested by: https://community.freescale.com/thread/332895

I tried this using both adb and Terminal Emulator to no avail.

Then using numerous text editors, Root Browser text editor, ES File Explorer text editor, Jota Text Editor, several others. Since all the text editors I've tried failed It leads me to believe that fb0 isn't a real directory, but rather maybe its a single file acting like a directory. When I open it in a file explorer the shortcut icon is on the fb0 directory. I'm a linux newb so I can't decypher exactly what it means.

Another possibility is maybe the GPU doesn't support a bit depth higher than 16 bit. http://www.lg.com/us/cell-phones/lg-L15G-sunrise which says 65k Color which means 16 bit. But I would like to think this possibility is wrong.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToHellWithGA:
Cheryl,

First you must disabled the silly antivirus bloatware app installed by default, then KingRoot works since the phone runs KitKat.

After rooting with KingRoot I immediately installed SuperSUMe to get a less sketchy root method in place then uninstalled KingRoot.

I can't speak for others but my reasons to root were mostly so I could clean up bloatware; I backed up each partition on the device using dd with root access in adb shell before tinkering with removing the worst system apps - the aforementioned antivirus and a crummy office/productivity suite.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kenny13554:
Hey guys,

I noticed when my Galaxy S5 is not on charger, it constantly discharges at a rate of -450mA. That seems to be a bit weird, as when I measured the discharge rate on other phones, the value used to change, based on the actual usage (i.e. diplay brightnesss, cpu freq etc.). Do you guys have any information/recommendation regarding that issue?

Kind regards,

Kenny

Thanks in advance,

I'm using the TNT 2.0 rom for hy hermes......I've been using the rom for a while with no prob. Today, I had to do a soft reset...my hermes stockes at the WM6 home screen page and does not want to acces windows.....What should I do....

Thank you fo the help.

i'm using spl2.10
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] cr1960:
sounds like you might have to do a 'hard reset'.

this will reset your ppc back to the base TNT rom you installed, so you'll have to reload everything you've put on since.

to perform a hard reset, hold down both left and right soft keys at the same time and stick the stylus into the hole in the bottom (where you'd do a soft reset) all at the same time.

to help you find out which program might be causing you problems, it's a good idea to load them one at a time and soft reset after each install.

good luck!

[Samsung Gear S2] absolutcarcrazy:
Has anyone successfully edited the XML on a custom watch face and imported it back into GWD? Is it possible to borrow some options from the stock watch faces, like the stylize button? GWD is seriously lacking in a few places but it seems to be possible, with some tweaking, to add some customer features in. Hopefully something as simple as changing the color of some watch hands by double tapping.......

Anyone have any tips on editing the XML??? :confused::eek:
[Samsung Gear S2] cnguinn:
Yes, I have done this, but a very limited, specific task.

First I changed the xyz.gwd filename to be xyz.zip. Extracted the watchface.xml file. I took the watchface.xml into my xml editor (XML Marker ver 1.1) and discovered how the "swap background on tap" was coded. It involves using an image-set tag, and an action tag. I then used this to make a swap-on-tap Hour hand. Saved the updated xml code, and inserted this back into the xyz.zip. Then renamed this to xyz.gwd and put back into GearWatchDesigner\workspace\.

Open the design inside GWD. You can then look at the hour hand and see the button action to change image, although you cannot create this action within GWD, only an xlm editor. Did the usual build and Run on Device. Once the watchface was on my watch, I did have to reboot the watch for the functionality to work. But it DOES WORK. Tapping the hour hand did change the appearance of the hour hand (black/white swap).

This was a very simple test. But the basic idea of modifying the xml to do other things does work. HOWEVER, you need to know what other options are available. I have no idea if the xml codeset, that is understood by GWD when building the .tpk file, supports double-tap, stylize, or other complications. And if so, what the actual xml code would be for these functions.
[Samsung Gear S2] absolutcarcrazy:
Thanks for the information.

I had tried most of this but I failed to notice that hour hand would have the button action change. Guess I'll give it another go!
[Samsung Gear S2] cnguinn:
The details of the modified XML

for the watch hand to be swapped, in the group\part\ replace the <image> with a <image-set>

<image>basic_clock_hands_hr_shadow.png</image>​

becomes:

<image-set><image>basic_clock_hands_hr_shadow.png</image><image>action/image/basic_clock_hands_hr.png</image></image-set>​

Add the new action to the hour hand part

<action on_event="tap" target_part_id="basic_clock_hands_hr_shadow" type="image-set-show-next"/>​

and I have added a couple of watch screen shots. As I said, a very simple example.
[Samsung Gear S2] absolutcarcrazy:
Thanks again. I'll give this a try when I get home.
[Samsung Gear S2] absolutcarcrazy:
Need some guidance again......

I really appreciate this example that you previously provided for me. Unfortunately, the newest update to GWD has broken this. I assume its because the XML schema has updated from 0.1 to 1.0. I cannot figure out how to write the new image set code to display the same thing with the updated watch face. Any help would be appreciated!! :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Gear S2] Ryley199:
It Worked

Thanks to "cnguinn" for the instructions, followed these and it worked.

I had been scratching my head over this most of the morning, but what I hadn't done was rename the gwd file to a zip and save within the zip and then rename back to gwd.

I used the program "XmlPad3_02a" to edit the xml files.

adding the relevant lines to refer to the image file and changed the action set

I added the image file in the appropriate folders, ( res and debug/tpk)

and then just saved the whole folders ( rather than just the individual xml files) within the zip file.

Tested on the laptop and worked fine, exported up to the Gear S3 and perfect, new colour added to background on tap function.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkMatter_74:
Here's a brief history...

Bought a used, 'unlocked' AT&T branded S6 from a local store. Worked fine with my T-Mobile service.

(Note: Phone boots AT&T, has AT&T bloatware, reports itself as an SM-G920A.)

Fast forward one year...

Wife wants an new phone, I buy her one. I go to sell the S6 on Swappa, and they tell me that the IMEI is wrong. Can't list it in as an AT&T, as the IMEI is for T-Mobile.

WHAT??!

So I do what I should have done from day one...I compared the IMEI from the system to the one printed on the back. They don't match. While the one in the system is clean, the one on the back is blacklisted.

Ok, so there's a new mainboard inside. And if the IMEI is T-Mobile, that means it's a T-Mobile board...right? Because you can't flash AT&T roms on T-Mobile phones and have them still functional...right? Oh, I should also note that the info in download mode also says SM-G920A, and official, and Knox is 0x, etc. ect. Everything I see says this is an AT&T board EXCEPT the IMEI!

I still plan on selling the phone, but I refuse to do so dishonestly. I need to know what exactly is going on so I can give full disclosure.

Any ideas as to what's happened here, or how I can discover what's what?

(I should have been a little more suspicious when the store's television was playing Tomorrowland while it was STILL IN THE THEATER.)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkMatter_74:
Another thought...is it possible the guy flashed the IMEI, instead of replacing the board?

One more thing I should note, don't know if it's important. The way he 'unlocked' it was using PingPong root and some other patch I don't know of.

When I decided to sell the phone, I used ODIN to flash factory fresh 5.1.1, AT&T version. No hiccups or problems, went smoothly.

Ugh, so confused!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkMatter_74:
I figured it out. Went to an AT&T store, the put a sim in and it worked without a problem. More than likely the store I bought it from used a factory unlocked T-Mobile board in it. I'm guessing you can flash whatever you want to these, carrier-wise?

No matter. I've listed it. If it sells, great. If not, might be time to upgrade from my Note 3!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Fermato:
Hi!

So I have a Galaxy S6 which came with a Dutch T-mobile package. On my way to China, where I moved a few weeks ago for an indefinite period, I cracked the screen and brought it to the local repairman to fix. That went perfectly well, but the phone didn't recognize my fingerprint anymore and I forgot my backup password. That's why I performed a factory reset, and that's where the real trouble began.

After the reset, I tried setting up the phone again, and got to the Samsung reactivation screen. I entered my account info, and provided the password for the wifi, after which the phone connected to wifi (with the corresponding message), but after a few seconds I get a pop up message saying "Unable to connect to the Internet" - even though the wifi symbol would still flash its arrows in the upper right corner. Thus, I can't get past this screen nor in my phone, which is quite a devastating fact as a poor new expat in China :). Tried several other wifi networks, to no avail.

My guess is that it's the Great Firewall of China acting here, somehow preventing the phone to connect to the Samsung (and/or Google) network to check my info. I don't know if this is correct, the Samsung helpdesk couldn't say for sure as well, but I really really want to find a workaround here. Once I get the phone working again I can install a VPN to have the Google stuff working in China, but this way I can't get to that point. Now I am completely new to rooting/ installing ROMS and the works, but I am willing to try anything to get this expensive piece of electronics to work out here.

Any helping comment is an absolute lifesaver, and I will name my firstborn child after you!!

Thanks so much!

All the best, Maarten

Wierd issue. Use to work but not now. When I'm on Bluetooth and take or make a phone call on Bluetooth... And then after the call try and play media through Bluetooth, it won't have sound. Max volume. Shows as playing. But nothing. Not even through phone speaker. It's as if the dialer app didn't release the Bluetooth control after the call.

Only way to fix is to turn off Bluetooth and back on.

Anyway to fix?

I had this happen once or twice, but not recently. I use bluetooth in my car but my factory radio in my car only has BT for calls, not music. I have a small A2DP device that plays music through the AUX in on the radio. A few times if I took a call via BT for the car, when the call ended the music wouldn't resume. I'd go to Spotify and it showed as playing but no sound came out. I never tried resetting bluetooth because when I'm driving it's easier to just hold power until the phone reboots, then it works fine.

mine does it when I'm using the amazon music player, doesn't matter if I'm on a call or not. Every now and then it just stops sending audio to the radio. If I turn the phone on, the lockscreen shows that the song is playing, but zero audio.

If I pause / play / pause on the lockscreen it usually resumes playing. Very odd issue. Still better than the problems I was having with my note4.

Is there a good debloat script. Or stock rom
