[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dpshptl:
TWRP got installed and so did supersu but on reboot phone is stuck on the samsung screen for over 25 mins. So I went back into recovery and wiped cache but that did not do anything either. Whats my options? I hope I dont have to do a factory reset and wipe everything.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] This guy needs help:
What do I do

I was on twrp then I flashed supersu but I keep getting set warranty bit kernel message
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] dpshptl:
Even though you hijacked my thread ill still help you.

I have the same error and i think its from the knox security being tripped but i could be wrong. did your phone boot up? after supersu install?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] This guy needs help:
No I had to reflash the stock rom, thanks for helping
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] This guy needs help:
Apparently I got the set warranty bit kernel message after I flashed twrp

as the title suggests, sure i read on t mob uk that the unlimited data dont include skyp and voip apps . . surely ths is horse sh!t?

anyone?

lr
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] livimojo:
They have 3 wnw, wnw plus, wnw max.

wnw has fup of 1gb and for web browsing only

wnw plus has fup of 3gb limit and allows im etc but not VOIP

wnw max is has 10gb and allows everything

MOJO
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] mattstroud:
yeah that is what t-mobile quote as there packages but as far as the network is concerned, not matter what your doing, all it knows is that data is being transfered. They wouldn't know what you are actually doing, be it VOIP of using as a modem.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] little_rock:
thx guys -coz obviously if it says unlimited data o the tin it goddam well better be!

one of the reasons i am splashing out for WnW+ is so I can skype - surely they cant tell the diff tween skype/msn voice data and regular data????

cheers
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] joebongo:
They could tell by traffic shapes (how they detect torrent traffic on regular wired networks) or by the ports used by Skype, MSN etc.

Funny thing is I have w&w from last year which gives me 40Mb of whatever I want a month.

I hate all this especially when abroad they mostly get real unlimited tariffs (like w&w max) but for a tenner or something.

I heard Orange had a reasonably priced unlimited but then you never know what the hidden limits are.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] little_rock:
~Traffic Shapes!? jeez, you know the deep magiks!

Well I'd beinterested to hear what other t mob experiences are esp ones with WnWPlus...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] FloatingFatMan:
Gotta be one of THE dumbest things I've ever read on a tech forum, even one devoted to mobile phones! Of COURSE they can tell what type of traffic is being sent! All different types of traffic use certain ports and certain protocols; and it's simple to differentiate which is which.

If VOIP is forbidden on standard WnW, all they need to is block the relevant ports and protocols it uses. If they haven't, then I'd say go for it; as they've not prevented you, but they CAN tell that you're using it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] doody:
I still have W'n'W 2GB plan from last year (before they split it into the plus and pro versions). I can't use IRC or streaming media (YouTube etc).
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] fusi:
doesnt skype use port 80...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evilc:
I got the cheapest wnw (£7.50 p/m) when I got my kaiser.

So far, I have used:

Web

Orb TV (Like slingbox)

IM is on all the time (Palringo)

Push email

I am writing this post on a laptop using my kaiser as an HSDPA modem ;)

So far no complaints, if they do, I will move up to plus... I think as long as I don't take the mickey and stay clear of skype they will probs be OK.

I was thinking of VPNing into my house so they couldn't tell what I was doing :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] jamijam:
Same here, I got the cheapest W&W (£7.50) about a year ago and I've used it for pretty much everything without any problems.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] robbiesz:
Hi all!

Could any of you tell me if live radio stations work on WnW? I am not sure about the protocol, it may be mms or http or even shoutcast. The streams are not high quality ones, they are mostly 32kbit/s streams. I know the fair use policy prohibits using streaming media on WnW but is it actually blocked? I am planning on going on contract with TMob mainly because i could listen to my fav radio stations (foreign ones) on the go. Any ideas?

Thanks, Robbie
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] evilc:
I just tested the freezefm.co.uk broadband stream ( http://194.150.120.40:8040/listen.pls ) and it worked fine
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kaiserchief:
Don't all mobile phone data connections go through the network provider's proxy anyway?

I thought that was how they implemented their "Content Control" to stop under 18's from gambling and viewing adult content, etc...

If they do, then that's an even easier way of telling *exactly* what you're doing with your connection.

I guess they only really look at that if you're taking the pee with the fair usage limits though - it would give them a perfect excuse for kicking you off if you're using Skype despite the t&c's - but they're not going to care enough (or have the resources) to check out the usage of everyone who's within their one gig a month...

For those of us that don't want to root....Post up your success (or failures) with using PDP!!

I personally haven't done anything with it yet but it was helpful with my S6 Active. Hoping for someone a bit more gutsy than myself to see what is ok to disable and what we shouldn't touch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] D_VIN_GADO:
Used on my S6 Edge Plus, installed on my S7 Edge, hit 'disable bloatware' and so far no issues. Still way too early to tell if everything is functioning correctly. I'd rather disable all recommended bloat and then see what issues there are (if any) than go one by one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] naiku:
Might have to give this a shot, I hate the amount of apps that Samsung, AT&T and to some extent Google have loaded by default on the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Riggster:
I just hit the disable all bloatware button. It took out samsung pay and my weather clock. After enabling all of the appropriate apps, the work once again.

It might have been smarter for me to go through this thread first which is what I am doing now. It's for S6 but I'm going to guess that most of it will apply.

I can't get the app to work. It won't activate the license. It tells me to disconnect proxy and VPN connections which I didn't know I was using. Does anyone have any ideas how to fix this? Do I need to give anymore information? I'm using an AT&T Galaxy S7.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] Opie Knievel:
Nevermind, I figured it out. It seems that AT&T uses a proxy on their cellular data. When I connected to WiFi the license activation worked fine.

I used it yesterday didn't get any extra sot with it and it seemed to make my screen go bonkers, it was extra overly sensitive so I took it off and my screen went back to normal, still sensitive but not nearly as bad

There is another app in Google Play,

If you have time, try to use this app "App Package Disabler (Samsung)" on Google Play

It work well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] waingro808:

I've actually had good luck disabling some services with this and freeing up RAM. Not sure how this works without root but it's nice to have. Still feel we need root for other things but this app worked for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] HNIC215:
I've been using Package Disabler Pro since I got my S7 Edge...

Battery life was terrible in the beginning and then I kept fine tuning and fine tuning and fine tuning until I eventually reached some good battery life but it wasn't consistent.

Then I tried the GearVR and it installed some more apps and battery life started to suffer again.

I wasn't sure what the issue was exactly so I kept fine tuning and adjusting. I read online that Package Disabler Pro can actually impact battery life if you disable too many apps.

So I went back and only disabled a minimal number of apps... Still battery life was back and forth... Some days okay but other days battery drain would be awful.

So just for fun, I uninstalled Package Disabler Pro and manually went through and disabled each Application/Permissions through the Application Manager one by one (System & User Apps).

Now my battery life is phenomenal!

Seriously, I am getting about a day and a half off one charge (almost two days) and a SoT of between 6-8 hours consistently <- obviously this depends on how heavy your usage is.

I just charged my phone today with 5 1/2 SoT @ 25% battery left and 1 day 12 hours since last charge.

Very excellent results... So if others out there are having issues, try uninstalling Package Disabler Pro and doing it manually. Sure it takes time but the results have been amazing for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JWhipple:
Interesting - Package Disabler free is available on the store but not seeing the pro version, even though it was there last week. I wonder what's up with that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] AndroiderM:
It was pulled from the playstore, ez package disabler is still there and most think it works better.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] jpcdeux:
I've used Package Disabler on every Samsung to disable the every app of AT&T Bloat. Although some **** still shows up in battery usage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] acidburn628:
Hi,

I have been using EZ package disabler since I got my S7 Edge and I am happy with it. Unfortunately, when the software update came, with too much excitement, I forgot to enable all disabled apps prior to updating the firmware. I have updated the firmware with apps disabled. What problem should I be facing? What should I do? Currently I am not experiencing any problems but I suspect that the disabled apps where not optimized. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JWhipple:
Anxious to see what you hear back on this - I'd like to know what I might face if I did the same (accidentally of course!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] acidburn628:
RIght now, my apps edge appears that an update is available. But whenever I click the update, it won't update even if all apps are enabled. I am not sure if this was caused by the firmware update but this apps edge update just came up together with the firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] JWhipple:
Thank you ! I debloated an S5 I was given using package disabler pro as my intention is to use it only for dash cam purposes , It has no SIM in it so I dunno if it will even get marshmallow update when it's available from AT&T, but if I do see an update available and am on wifi with it I'll re-enable everything. Thanks again !
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] acidburn628:
Update:

After checking with my friend's galaxy s7 edge, it appears that apps edge update problem is existent. And also existent with other galaxy s7 edge users hence, this problem is not related to problems caused by updating firmware without re-enabling apps. No problems encountered so far as of the moment. Though I still would like to know what problems should I be expecting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] HeaDShoTHuntR1:
What did you disable?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] artheseus:
I also did this, pdp seems to have every single possible permission as admin, is this really necessary? Seems dangerous... I'm using this pdp

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ospolice.packagedisablerpro

EDIT:

I uninstalled this PDP and found this other app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.hecorat.packagedisabler

The one from Hecorat only has ONE admin access, that is to enable/disable/install/uninstall apps.

Unlike these other "Package Disabler" around that has every possible permission.

It is a security risk, IT IS NOT SAFE, I recomend to uninstall it, maybe do a factory reset after that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] ItsDon:
What is the problem with allowing the phone to update the firmware with packages disabled? My phone updated to PK2 (Nov. security update) with a ton of disabled apps (EZ Disabler) and my phone has been running perfectly all day. Am I to expect some issues down the road?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Themes, Apps, and Mods] archie87:
Interesting that you bring this up. I updated to PK1 and now AT&T Software Update no longer shows up in EZ Disabler or Package Disabler Pro, so I can't disable it. I'm concerned that it might automatically update now with apps disabled. In the past when I had rooted phones, updating the software with apps frozen would cause them to be stuck in their frozen state. Like, you would open the app used to freeze them and they would no longer be there or in the app drawer. I had to reflash the software to fix it. Not sure about updating the software with disabled apps though. I export the list before an update and then enable all of them. After it's done I disable them again. That's when I was able to control the updates though. Now I can't. :(

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
so seems like my front facing camera won't focus. it only has a set focus for whatever is in the background and will NOT focus on a face. it's absolutely awful. whatever is in the foreground is blurry and there's no options in the new Samsung cameras to adjust exposure or anything which also makes making some videos on the ffc suck. anyone else having this issue? my note 4 ffc was much better than this one. ugh.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] DrukQs_86:
I have the same problem with mine. I thought it was because of the beauty filter.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
maybe it's just how this camera is. pardon my ugly mug, but here's a great example. notice it's focusing on the background. it honestly seems just like it's a problem where it's focusing on infinity rather than what's in foreground. maybe a software tweak can fix it? I really don't want to return the damn phone because of this... View attachment 3675728

my note 4 had no problems. everything was crisp and sharp when i used the ffc. it focuses on the face much better.

my apologies for all the replies.. Tapatalk is a god awful app that is useless so it was giving me issues. but yeah, does anyone else have this issue? ugh.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xMGWx:
I also noticed this when i compared my s6 with my s7.

The s6 when I'm closer to the camera is crisper than the s7 but when I hold my arm strait the s7 wins almost like it finds the sweet spot, the s6 behaves smilar but like i said more crisper up close.

Both cameras show the face detect cirkel.

Could be an issue with the new 3D beauty filter maybe? (And yes i have turn both down to zero)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
all the filters are off and it still does it.. unless it's the software processing in the background, who knows. either way I hope they fix it!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xMGWx:
Could be the new 3d beauty mode they have added.

I think that event though we turn all filters off there is still some processing going on.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
3d beauty eh? I never heard of that
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xMGWx:
It is a new thing they added to improve low light shots and so on (it takes the light into account when processing the image etc.).

See if i can find a link.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
sounds cool. the quality is WORSE in low light, and it's very oil painty looking, which i presume is the processing..however, they don't give you raw features for FFC..they don't even let you adjust exposure which pisses me off, bc i used my note 4 to record guitar videos for youtube, and the FFC looked fine on the note, but it's so overexposed on the s7 it sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] FalconFX:
front facing cameras don't support auto focus, they have a Fixed-focus lens, & since the sensor is so small there is no bokeh(blur), so its focus distance is set to infinity, that's why it looks a bit blurred when you are too close to it :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
yeah but the thing here is that previous phones didn't have this issue.

my note 4 is crisp and clear when you're close up, and shows much more detail.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] FalconFX:
Thats because its has a very wide f/1.7 aperture, it will give some blur at very close distance, since its focus distance is set to infinity
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
the note was f1.9. not that big of a difference to create such a drastic difference in quality.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xMGWx:
Tested two S7 and both was blurry and looked lika filter all over the picture.

Then i tested two S7 Edge and they was crisp sharp, better than my S6.

Both the S7 and the S7 edge had the same camera sensors. Forgot to check FW version but since it is the sames sensors in both the s7 and s7 edge it may be a FW diffense.

What is your FW version on the s7 edges front camera.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
hmm very interesting! I wonder if it's a firmware issue then. why would the edge have a different firmware than the s7 though?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] xMGWx:
Don't know, but I'm having some issues with home button not responding so i will try to get and exhange tomorrow (only 4 days old so I'm within DOA time).

Front facing camera focus issue

I'm having the same issue. The camera doesn't seem to adjust its focus at all. It seems to be fixed to the background. You'd think that a selfie camera would be better at focusing up close. :rolleyes:

The issue persists even when the beauty filters are all set to 0. It would be a pretty ****ty beauty filter anyway since all it does it blur things in the forefront indiscriminately.

By the way, I have the regular S7.

Same issue. Horrible quality for selfies. Compared to my friends Iphone6 and his selfie blew mine out of the water. I cant even see facial hair on my photos.

in the next few days , I will visit my cousin he has the S7 ( 930F ) and then I would check the phone and compare it to my Note 3 and S4 . Also if the front video camera on that phone has no issues I will get the firmware and share it with you .

I do have a black S7 (non-edge). I checked out some in the store and most seemed to have the problem. There was one silver edge that seemed better than the rest, but otherwise color and edge/non-edge didn't really seem to matter. I forgot the dialer code to check the FW when I was in the store, and I don't know how to get the build date and HW rev other than the sticker on the box.
