[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paradelle:
Hi there!

I've had a Nexus 6 for the past few months. In-between I ran a S6 Edge for a few weeks. Here's a few points to look our for on the S7 Edge during my experiences on the S6 Edge.

1. Read up on how the battery lasts. The S6 Edge has (arguably) the most beautiful screen ever put onto a phone. The battery life was awful though, so to get through a day on minimal use I had to have adaptive brightness on down at the 20% mark. It really annoyed me that I had this glorious screen I couldn't use in case my battery was all used before I even made it to work in the morning!

2. Check to see if the Edge apps functionality has improved. I had Lollipop on it when I first purchased it. The Edge apps were completely redundant. I could add callers and extra apps (nothing that a 3rd party browser couldn't add to the home screen), and also there was a swipe function to check weather etc that worked 50% of the time. I joined the beta programme for Marshmallow and the Edge apps hadn't really improved.

3. The lack of an unlocked bootloader, and the squeeze this had on development on the likes of XDA drove me a bit crazy. I use to be a bit of a flash addict, but have now settled down, but I still like to try new things every now and again even though I revert back to my favourites.

4. I missed the N6 screen size.

5. Touchwiz is vastly improved, but considering the spec differences I felt no speed differences between the S6 Edge and N6. (I don't play games on my phone so wouldn't know the difference between the 2 in more demanding tasks.)

6. The camera on the S6 Edge is stunning, and I can imagine will be better on the S7.

To summarise, I can imagine the S7 and S7 Edge being good phones. My advice if you were to choose one would be to go with the S7, as unless the software and functionality is massively improved, the S7 Edge won't justify the extra price.

And I much prefer my N6 over the S6 Edge...
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TonikJDK:
Going to be a great phone. But the snails pace of updates, especially the security updates is a deal killer for me. I could live without mods and root but updates are an issue for me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] New Rising:
S7 isn't even an option, screen size would be way too small. And it only has a 3000 mah battery vs the 3600 in the S7E.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcrompton:
I just read your response .... What do you gain from xda if you aren't rooting your phones and have your purchases guided by the disaster of all disasters --- a locked bootloader !! ???
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AarSyl:
I....actually wouldn't mind going to a smaller screen. While I greatly, and I mean, greatly enjoy the size of my N6, there are times where I wish that it was a tad smaller. As real life is consuming so much more of my spare time, I spend less time watching videos, rooting, and tinkering, and more time handling stuff for work or home. Specifically, using the camera to take pics of my children will be easier to quickly take out and handle a smaller phone.

However, as far as the S7 goes, it is coming to look like a beast, and I will be getting one for my wife...not me. TouchWiz is my Achilles' Heel. Always has been. I'm waiting for HTC's next iteration to see whether or not I want to take the plunge into a Samsung device for myself, or another Nexus. LG is out of the question. Their UI is just not my style.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikeprius:
Well, depending on your carrier, you likely are not going to be able to do much if you have Verizon or AT&T given that they both lock their bootloaders. I'll fully admit, last fall I WAS going to buy a Note 4, but it was sold out so I got the Nexus 6 instead. Turned out to be the best thing that ever happened. I remember having to chase down my specific build for my make and carrier, it wasn't just "Shamu" for everyone. Seems like every "non-Nexus" phone is one-misstep from "bricking" the device. No thanks. From accidentally downgrading the bootloader, to flashing the wrong firmware, etc, etc...............

Good experience and less headache with the Nexus. I'll never buy a non-Nexus phone again.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Semseddin:
I might consider S7 Edge as well, looks to be perfect piece of hardware. I know i would get late updates with samsung but who cares, i don't remember a single update that brought better daily functions to my nexus 6 from google. For example, they didn't even bring slow motion video capture, no led light, no double tap to wake. There's nothing useful for daily usage in a nexus but instant empty updates. I don't care much if i am patched to february security in day one like if any hackers targeted me.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
How long before a Verizon S7 edge gets rooted? Never????
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MeltdownSpectre:
It took forever for the Verizon S5 to get rooted, the Verizon S6 Edge will probably never get rooted and same for the S7 Edge.

KNOX just keeps getting tougher.

All the more reason to avoid Samsung if you want to develop.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ronaldheld:
Good thing I sold mine to move to the Nexus.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] New Rising:
I figure if I do get it, Verizon has a trade in promo where I can get 100 for trading in my old bionic. I'll put 300 down on the phone so the payments will be $20. Then I can sell my nexus for $200-300 and sell the free gear s2 for another $200-300. The phones pretty much paid off then. And I can sell my s7 edge need be if the new Nexus it worth it.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] md1008:
I would love a 6 edge, I love the design of the galaxy series since the s6 (minus useless home button) I especially love the silver. Now that it has a snapdragon 820 we might get some custom ROMs. Only real drawback is the price and having to increase my phone bill by $30+

from http://www.stockhouse.ca/mediascan/news.asp?newsid=9206882

There are some real chances that we will learn more about HTC's recently unveiled HTC Kii soon. The Taiwanese handset maker just invited the press to its two European events in the UK (Monday, October 1st) and Germany (Tuesday, October 2nd) to officially unveil its Q4-2007 line-up of Windows Mobile smartphones.

While HTC hasn't given any further information of what we can expect, I'm sure we will see (again) some familiar faces like the HTC Shift, maybe the HTC Nike (which was already announced in Japan as NTT DoCoMo FOMA HT1100) and most likely HTC's new flagship smartphone, the (which hasn't had it's launch event so far).

But maybe we will also see some new faces like the above mentioned HTC Kii, the HTC Polaris, and the (by some) heavily awaited HTC Omni.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gabe-rz:
I'm using a VS985 running a CM12.1 snapshot and the 777 kernel. No matter what app I use, my overclock never seems to stick for more than a few minutes. It's not thermal throttling, either, because even after it cools down, it switches the max frequency to the stock of ~2.5GHz. I'm using Kernel Auditor right now with no luck. I wonder if I could modify the kernel to make the "stock" frequency 2.88GHz, is that possible?

Does anyone have any insight?

Thanks!

Isn't there anyway to get more space on s4. Will removing bloatware helps to obtain the system used space???
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
No. You won't ever be able to get all 16 GB.

Samsung ripped us off.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FPSUsername:
Yes and no. Removing bloatware frees up system space, but you can not use that partition for data/internal storage. The S4 (I9505) has 2GB system partition and 2GB Cache partition. Both could've been 1GB for custom roms, but we are not able to flash custom unsigned pit files.

The I9500 got lucky with a chinese firmware which has smaller partitions and I think the i337 (not sure if it is the correct one) already has a smaller cache partition.

The only way to increase size is to get the signing tool from samsung, which we'll never get

Hello, with this method, it may be superuser on devices with MM and locked bootloader?
[G4 General] BySezerSimsek:
MM Root it's not possible in any way locked bootloader devices. only way unlocked bootloader and custom kernel. Stock kernel root impossible.
[G4 General] heros_45:
Thanks for the reply.

It is knowing that commands operating in MM, thought he could do the same in LP, have root eventhough have locked bootloader, all for ADB commands.

"I die" wait to unlock my bootloader; but my model is not unlockable officially. H815P
[G4 General] thoiloidainhan:
I understand the language. It is indeed instruction to get root on MM with locked bootloader. Only tested on f500 and OP is the only 1 with success so far. Lets wait and see if more will come up

Edit: this is NOT root for locked bl on MM. OP just made it clear to me on the other site
[G4 General] thznutz87:
So we can root MM with this?

[G4 General] dontpannic:
No. Currently and for the forseeable future it is NOT possible to root Marshmallow with a locked bootloader.
[G4 General] BySezerSimsek:
yes stock kernel :) but after flash root custom kernel.. because kernel edited. 5.1 kernel not edit root working ;)
[G4 General] thznutz87:
Can't inject root and send command to flash system?
[G4 General] dontpannic:
Do you want me to quote all three posts again?

Root on Marshmallow requires a modified kernel. You cannot boot a modified kernel with a locked bootloader.
[G4 General] Rapunzl:
I don't know about other models, but H811 allows you to unlock the bootloader and root on Marshmallow, but it's not via supersu injection.
[G4 General] Kherham:
Well months have been passed. Any news about to root H815P? I still have my Bootloader locked and LG's site says that my model cant be unlocked. Any idea?
[G4 General] TheMadScientist:
Guys. This is for sending files to the phone kinda like adb. Not root. It more like for executing files that are already on the phone.

IN No WAY IS THIS A ROOT METHOD

YOU CANNOT ROOT MM WITH A LOCKED BL. ITS NOT GONNA HAPPEN ANYTIME SOON
[G4 General] sdembiske:
Rooting MM with Superuser ...

Rooting MM with Superuser ... is not possible with locked bootloaders as Chainfire's method requires modification of the boot partition and that equates to a brick with bootloaders that are not officially unlocked through LG.

Downgrade to LP, root and install steadfasterX's TWRP-in-FisH @ https://xdaforums.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048 if you want a working custom recovery version that will work on LG G4's with locked bootloaders. Version 3 Beta 4 & 5 are very stable - download links are in later posts on his site.

He is working on porting EFIdroid in FisH, that if successful will eventually allow one to boot custom roms, i.e., you may be able to have your rooted MM with a locked bootloader at some point ... just not yet.

[G4 General] sdembiske:
Check this XDA posting out ...

If on MM you will first have to downgrade to LP with LGUP-NEW at https://xdaforums.com/g4/help/lgup-install-kdz-mm-lp-t3249803 if you are able to. You will have to search for an H815P10 stock rom. Then see if you can find a pre-rooted image of that rom. You can follow this guide to obtain root or install a pre-rooted image if you are able to find one: Root ANY LG G4 Variant 100% Success Directives | Root Injection | Less Bricks at https://xdaforums.com/g4/general/lg-g4-100-root-success-directives-root-t3180586.

If you want a custom recovery for your locked bootloader, check this out by steadfasterX: [LOCKED][G4][TWRP][UNOFFICIAL] TWRP-in-FIsH for all locked G4 devices at https://xdaforums.com/g4/development/locked-twrpinfish-locked-g4-devices-t3573048

You will not be able to install a custom rom, however, but steadfasterX is working on EFIdroid-inFisH that, if successful, will eventually allow the installation of a custom rom on a locked bootloader.

Hope it helps.

[G4 General] guysoft:
hey guys,

Hope I am not too late, I found a way around this.

What I did was downgrade from Marshmallow to Lollipop.

I did it by using the LGUP program and following this:

https://xdaforums.com/g4/general/fix-unbricking-lg-g4-h818p-stuck-t3707485

In short what I did was:

1. Download the kdz

2. Download LGUP and install it, then the dll thing that comes in the archive.

3. Install LG drivers

4. Put device in download mode by pressing up and inserting a usb cable when device is powered off

5. start LGUP and select "Refurbish"

6. in the path select the kdz (even though its looking for tot files).

7. Flash Lollipop and boot

8. Go back to download mode, now you have Send_Command.exe

Then I flashed "H815L 10F.kdz" which gave me stock Lollipop on 815L. I am not sure where I got it, It was sitting on my disk. But basically anything which has H815L (for the model), and 10 which means its Lollipop should work.

Then I could go in to download mode and run Send_Command.exe

2] Notepad++ [you can use normal one but Notepad++ more safe]

How to solve ??

- Go to downloaded folder keep 2 copies of that rom

- Open the rom with WinZip

- Go to --> META INF --> com --> google --> android

- You can see "Updater Binary and Updater Script

- Open Updater Script with Notepad++

- You can see line Starts with getsprop[delete lines till you see ifelse]

- [Note :- dont delete ifelse line keep that]

- Click Save close file dialog box will open choose save the changes

- Close winzip again dialog box will appear choose make changes in the file

- Copy updated file to your device & flash without any errors

[Dell Venue] Munk0:
I am late to the Dell Venue 8 7840 party as I just bought mine three days ago. What a beautiful tablet and absolutely gorgeous display. However, I think that the text is just a little too small for my likings so I wanted to do something about it. Well, you first have to root your device which is kind of a nightmare if you ask me (after updating to Lollipop 5.1).

My first attempt at changing the resolution was through editing the build.prop and adding a value of "ro.sf.lcd_density=360" since the default density is 320. Anyways, every time you reboot it just is completely ignored.

I take no blame for anything that goes wrong with this.

So here's how you change the DPI:

1) Get root by following this most recent root tutorial. You will need to install "Busy-Box" as mentioned in that tutorial.

2) Install a terminal emulator such as "Terminal Emulator" or "Termux" from the Play Store

3) Start the terminal program

4) Type "su" and press enter. NOTE: You will need to grant your terminal emulator root access after you press enter.

5) Type "wm density" and press enter. You will see the default density of "320".

6) Type "wm density xxx" where xxx is the density you want to switch to such as 360. Basically anything above 320 is larger, anything below 320 is smaller.

Once you type the command such as "wm density 360" it instantly applies it. It also survives a reboot so please be careful to type the command exactly as it is supposed to be typed and do not use too small or too large of a change. If you change the density to 390 and utilize Google Now you will see that it changes format from a dual column to a single column. I prefer this look and feel plus tabs in Chrome are more normal sized to myself. Some DPI's cause text to shift off the sides of the display so it's just a matter of trying to increment or decrement by one until you reach the sweet spot.

If you want to reset it back to normal you can simply type "wm density reset".

Good luck and hopefully this helps someone.

I haven't looked into this myself and couldn't be of any help. I'm use to the positioning and never tried to swap them on my own. :(
[Dell Venue] channeledbymodem:
With other high-res tablets such as the Samsung Tab Pro it is much easier to do this with one of the many apps available on the Play Store. However Texdroider and some of the others do not work; the change is not applied on reboots. By trial and error I stumbled upon Easy DPI changer, which works perfectly. It is probably applying the same change "automatically" that the op applied manually.
