[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] brian85:
I'm not sure how to to about this. One thing I really care about on a phone I purchase is video recording quality, more specifically 1080p/60fps and slow motion. Unfortunately, the Galaxy s7 has an issue with both of these.

You know how the Galaxy s7 focuses pretty much instantly when recording video in 1080p, 1440p, or 4k? Well, it doesn't happen in the 60fps mode. The focus is even slower than my s6 in 60fps and there is tons of "focus hunting" where it bounces back and forth between focus as you're recording. Focus is literally perfect in any mode besides 60fps.

Then we have an issue with 240fps slow motion where there are a ton of frame skips throughout the video (just YouTube s7 slow motion videos to see what I'm talking about).

These two issues are huge for me. It's unfortunate because I love everything else about the phone. How can we make Samsung aware of these issues?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
for frame skips, you recording to SD card or internal? do internal for something like that; probably hte sd card not being able to keep up with r/w speeds.

if you're doing internal, then i have no idea lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] lupker:
Same here. Internal or SD does not matter. Just tested. 1440p / 4k works great. It's the 60fps which seems to make the focus slow...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] HTCMDA:
I agree with this. I recorded slow motion to my external and internal storage and both skip and are choppy.

Here's a sample video I took

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] AcidBurns:
easiest way: write an email to samsung, all of you for your own. they won't do anything if somebody says "well on xda there are 10 people complaining and 200 people clicked like".

also prepare to go through the 2-3 standard email answers (reset your phone, do the auto update blabla) no matter what you write. just keep pursuing and after the 4th email it'll take 1-2 weeks for an answer and than you're hooked to the right guy.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] St0n3s:
I'm having issues with my video recording in every department. All my videos look like crap, very grainy, i wouldn't even consider any of what i have recorded as high def. 4K, joke! Everyone of them is a joke. I honestly wish i hadn't traded in my S6, the 4K video recording on the S6 was the bomb. I displayed a concert i recorded while in a dark floor mind you onto a Samsung 65" 4K tv & it was flawless. I couldn't believe what i was seeing blown up onto this 65" screen. It was amazing. Now the S7 recording, i'm embarrassed to even upload videos to youtube. Here's an example. This was shot during full daylight in 4K with the S7. Everything is washed out looking & grainy. Certainly not 4k worthy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWKZfxBP4UQ

After watching that now watch something i recorded with the s6 in 4K, HUGE difference. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTwAC6gBA1A

I have dual 27" 1440p monitors, what ever resolution monitor you have display it in what suits you best
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] lupker:
Samsung response to focus problems of the S7 video in 60fps

I've asked Samsung (NL) for a response. First they've told me they will look into it, because the problem should not have been present on all devices.

Later they've added it's a hardware issue and can not be solved by a software update. So no solution: S7 has crappy 60 fps video so live with it.

Very dissapointing. 60fps is one of the features I've needed for recording. A big let down from Samsung.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] supersepian:
I think the problem is with the isocell camera sensor. Sony sensor seems to be working fine
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] davebugyi:
Are you guys using SD 820 or Exynos?

I have no issues on an Exynos/IsoCell combo with graininess and choppy slow mo.

However the focus is indeed slower in 60 FPS.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] supersepian:
I am using isocell sensor . Focus is very good in all recording settings except full HD 60fps. My friend's galaxy s7 with sony sensor is working fine
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] lupker:
Exynos / rear: Sony / front: SLSI (Samsung). Choppy happend sometimes (after restart it is ok). Slow focus all the time.

Looks like Phone can not handle the data storage or cpu speed to manage more multiple fps. Which results in slow focus...

I use QHD or UHD which does not have any problems at all...
[Huawei Watch] UrbanLagoon:
Hey, not sure if anyone else has this problem.. But my watch lags up when my phone is receiving a call.. I get a notification of "incoming call" then when I try to swipe up... It lags up and I either miss the call or have to rush to my phone.

Any apps in play store to bypass this?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] skater95:
tl;dr bought phone with box and everything, had pattern in it, put into recovery wiped it, now it's a brick.

So I bought a HTC One M9 from someone off of craigslist for $350. It was dead when I bought it, but I got pics of it with it on and functioning. It came with the box, charger and everything. So it had a pattern lock on it so I just put it into recovery mode and wiped it. Now it needs the original account to activate it. I've got a hold of the original person and they gave me the password and email but they reset the password so I think I have to wait 72 hours which is Tuesday night hopefully. But what if it doesn't work? Can I bypass it?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] andybones:
This works on Samsung, can try it out. Can't hurt.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzywoFS_r9U
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] skater95:
So i have managed to get into the settings of the phone, so I've managed some progress at least!!

From the start up press next

Go to add another network, click advance options, proxy manual

add a couple letters under proxy hostname, push and hold what you added and select share

Select Messages, select yes, then allow

Push the three dots on the top right corner and select "Tips & Help" Press allow

Push the three lines by "how tos" select "diagnostics tools" push "phone storage"

Select Apps, scroll down to "Setup Wizard" select it, then push the i that's in a circle " force stop" it, select "ok"

At this point you should have all three navigation buttons on the screen at the bottom, pull the notification bar down and hit the gear. You're now in the settings of the phone!

You can enable developer options but it won't let you access them, but you're able to access all of the settings in the phone, but I'm not able to get to the home screen. But it's progress, maybe we can figure out a bypass with this information....
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] dottat:
Accounts and sync accessible?
[Verizon HTC One (M9)] skater95:
Yes, but it doesn't show any intonation in it. I was able to wipe the phone but it didn't clear the protection. The password the person gave to me after 72 hours finally worked, so I have a somewhat functioning M9. The signal is messed up it keeps dropping service. Verizon is sending me a new device, should be here later today.

There is currently no Stock Odin flashable firmware file for this model. My advise to you is with the use of a custom rom.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sir-Juice:
Hello people.

This is definitely a very noob question, but I don't want to mess anything up. I've rooted and installed a custom rom on my S4 mini, but otherwise I have not much past experience.

The details of my S6 as it is currently are below:

Model number

SM-G920F

Android Version

5.1.1

Baseband version

G920FXXU3COI9

Kernel version

3.10.61-S6_UniKernel_v2-0003_rb

gl@thedingo #2

Sun Jun 28 13:01:53 BST 2015

Build number

LMY47X.G920FXXU3QOJ5

I'd like to install a Marshmellow stock S6 build on my S6, particularly, the UK Vodafone build as of 03-03-2016 on sammobile dot com.

I noticed that the PDA for the UK Vodafone 6.0.1 build on sammobile dot COM is G920FXXU3DPB8 and the CSC is G920FVFG3DPB8.

Will I be able to flash this ROM successfully without compromising any of the functionality of my phone and be able to use all functions? I am in South Africa.

What are the things that I need to be careful of when trying to install builds on my phone (to ensure full functionality)?

Thanks if you can help!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] forumber2:
You can install any SM-G920F official ROMs to your device.

I prefer to use ROMs with SER CSC code.

Would my device still work correctly with my local carrier if I installed the UK Vodafone 6.0.1 ROM?

[HTC Desire Eye] nda_kaspersky:
Hello,

please i hope you can help me.

I have a HTC Desire Eye with Android-Version 5.0.2 Europe Software-Number: 2.19.401.1. Kernel: 3.4.0-g661ae11 and [MENTION=5439599]aabm[/MENTION]#1 SMP PreeMPT. Baseband-Version: 1.22.213311581.28G_20.57.4205.01_F. My CID is: HTC_102.

I have no nandroid-image and want go back to stock, so that i can regular updates. Can you say me please, what i need to get back to full stock?

When you need more information please ask me.

Thank you :)
[HTC Desire Eye] Rouz.:
I'm on the same firmware (completely stock - not rooted)

I could make a nandroid backup for you, but my upload speed is too slow, it would take ages to upload. Unless you only need the stock boot.img or recovery.

There's also an RUU available for your device, but the version is kitkat. I am not sure if you can flash it on an s-on device. But you can give it a try
[HTC Desire Eye] nda_kaspersky:
Hello Rouz first of all Thank you for your reply,

have you a link for the RUU? I have searched but i don't be sure which is the right one. When i install the RUU, the Phone will be completly stock? Soo the RUU flash the boot.img and recovery ?

greeting
[HTC Desire Eye] Rouz.:
You can get the right RUU for your device from here

You need to rename it to 0PFHIMG and copy it to your sd-card. then boot into bootloader (volume down + power button) and it should ask you to install the RUU,

RUU will wipe your entire internal storage, and it includes boot, radio, recovery, and etc.

But again, I am not sure if you can flash an RUU if your device is S-ON, (which is a security measure by HTC to prevent certain modifications the device)

Still, it doesn't hurt to give it a try. You have to re-lock your bootloader though.
[HTC Desire Eye] nda_kaspersky:
This is my current setup. S-On but relocked. You mean so? View attachment 3675095
[HTC Desire Eye] Rouz.:
Okay, you are s-on, but since you are relocked, it may work.

Try moving the ruu to sd card and rename it as I mentioned before. Give it a try and see if it works or not
[HTC Desire Eye] nda_kaspersky:
Okay i will try it these days :) thank you :) i will reply the results :)
[HTC Desire Eye] Kasun72:
Hi.i have a rooted s-on desire eye and i want it to get back to stock.can someone please help me?i need to get the new ota updates.my cid is HTC__j15 and software number is 2.19.401.1

Will the ota updates work if i relock my bootloader and flash stock recovery or do i need to flash ruu?
[HTC Desire Eye] Rouz.:
Once you are rooted, your system partition is modified. The OTA always checks the MD5 sum of the system partition, and if it doesn't match with the stock value, the update will fail.

If you have a nandroid backup of the stock Rom, you can just restore and flash the stock recovery. Otherwise you have to use the RUU.

Just make sure to flash the stock recovery before relocking your boot loader.
[HTC Desire Eye] Kasun72:
So what is the matching RUU for my device?
[HTC Desire Eye] nda_kaspersky:
Hello Rouz,

thank you. With RUU it all works fine. I have on more question, for nandorid backup i have to root my phone? But when i have root my phone how it will work that i can update my phone with the nandroid backup?
[HTC Desire Eye] Rouz.:
I'm glad it all worked out! You don't need root for a nandroid backup, you just need a custom recovery.

Flash the custom recovery from fastboot using the command "fastboot flash recovery xxx.img" (the name of the file)

Then make a nandroid backup.

If you ever want to go back to stock again, just restore the nandroid backup, and then flash the stock recovery.

---------- Post added at 02:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:40 AM ----------

Just use the same RUU that i posted in this thread

Ok.thanks bro :)

I tried ogyoutube and every freaking thing but there is same problem that the 480p option is not showing. Please Help If Anyone Has Any Solution For This BIG PROBLEM !
[Micromax Canvas Nitro A310/A311] bravonova:
You can now view 480p videos in youtube on CM based ROMs using following method

To fix HD Videos on Youtube all we have to do is:

Install Youtube app

Open it and see any video (one you know it should be 1080p available but it's stuck at 360p)

Navigate to /data/data/com.google.android.youtube/shared_prefs (use any explorer with root permission)

Open youtube.xml

Find:

Code:

<boolean name="h264_main_profile_supported5.1.1" value="false" />

Replace to:

Code:

<boolean name="h264_main_profile_supported5.1.1" value="true" />

Save the file

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
OK, I know this is a problem that many before had and I've researched the subject thoroughly. But I've only found ways to recover your phone from the soft-brick (one of those fake rubber bricks used in movies:laugh:) status which was something I did by myself by flashing a stock recovery via odin.

Now my problem is a different one: I have updated my s6 to stock 6.0.1 and all went fine. I then rooted the phone by installing SpaceX kernel and went on to flash recovery via odin. That is when the problem occurred and I've not been able to solve it. I tried flashing also via flashify but with the same result, i.e. phone frozen at the samsung galaxy s6 screen with the damn "recovery is not ......".

What could I try? Anyone knows how to circumvent this issue?

Thanks for any help.

Luca
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 6435605:
Just flash this TWRP http://www.mediafire.com/?16c1zxj8gdz3mj4 (AP in Odin with F. Reset Time and Auto Reboot checked), it will boot automatically to recovery,

You will have a working recovery, but it can't reboot or shutdown the phone.

For that, click to "Advanced", "Terminal", and when the keyboard shows up, just type "reboot" or "halt"(without the ") et click on "enter".

Reboot: reboots the phone (the phone will reboot in system)

Halt: shutdown the phone
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
Thanks: I will try that right away and report back here. Is the procedure of rebooting and shutting down the phone permanent or is it just the 1st boot (I sense it is a permanent thing, but I hope it isn't). If, later on I flash a custom rom and then re-flash the recovery, will this thing go away?

Why is this seandroid thing happening? Are you able to explain it to me?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 6435605:
It's not permanent :)

Just the first boot. "It erase a boot script that say to your device to boot into recovery" (small explanation, it's not exactly that).

This happen sometimes when you try to update the Su binary via the SuperSU app (it try to reboot the device into recovery, but sometimes it doesn't work and the device is "stuck" on the recovery)

This message shows up on every boot if you have a custom kernel, and if you boot on recovery, it will maybe shows up (depend of your recovery).

It was stucking on this screen because the recovery that you tried to flash is not compatible with marshmallow bootloader. The link in my first answer is a working marshmallow TWRP, for S6 (not S6 edge/+).
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
Woohoo! It worked! I have a custom recovery, although i have to reboot the phone with a crank ;)

Thanks a lot. Now I'm gonna go on messing it up some more!
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
Alas, it seems that it is permanent! It doesn't reboot into anything (neither system nor recovery. Haven't tried download, but I assume it would be the same thing). Furthermore it gets stuck and needs to be rebooted by pressing voldown and power. then it turns on into recovery again. It is a small price to pay, so no worries, but I always like to understand why things happen!

Could I have done another mistake?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] self_slaughter:
Out of interest what random recovery did you give him? lol

Try arter97s mod of twrp 3.0.0-0

Seems to be the best working mod of latest twrp at the moment. No issues booting etc, just no USB otg support currently.
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] astrovale:
Oh yes!! This one really works all the way, reboot and all. However, af as you know, is there any of the previous version of TWRP that "agrees" with M bootloader?

Thanks mate

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] self_slaughter:
Haha, I was just wondering since it was just a mediafire link saying flash this. :)

Glad that arters recovery worked a bit better for you.

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbtwister:
My mothers lumia 535 broke down, so I got her a Lumia 550, which is a big dissapointment for her since she's elderly and now the icons/tiles do not discriminate by color as simply as with wm 8.1, nor is de font on the tiles big enough, even on highest setting.

If I could give her the wm 8.1 iconpack again, I think that would help. I haven't found an app so far that can do that.

Also I would much appreciate a way to make the font size on the start screen tiles even bigger.

The Lumia 550 has HD resolution and that's why she can't read the labels anymore. And since everything is blue tiled, that doesn't help.

Anyone has any suggestions ? I would rather have her keep this 4G phone since whatsapp is finaly bearable compared to 3G.

What I have tried already :

- Transparancy of start is 0%

- Show more tiles off, but then that gives me giant tiles and still rather small font labels, so reset to normal view of tiles

- font size text scaling set to the full right (doesn't doe much for the tiles)

Thanks!
