Yeah its quite annoying and dosnt feel premium because of it. May start an RMA with Samsung! Cheers for the replys guys :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] pogi.paul0119:
Mine is also firm and fine unlike my old s6 that is loose..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] colapticus0983:
It's not a problem..

Hey,

The Home button will have play in it since its raised and actually depresses into the phone. Other brand have had the same type of button but had the button sunken into the display and was round and convave, so you wouldn't feel it, but most still did wiggle. I have the regular Sammy s7 and the home button moves in the slightest on the left side if I make it move.

I've tried roughly 4-5 stores in the montreal area and every single one did it regardless if it was the regular model or edge. So I wouldn't be concerned about it. If you look at the home button's diagram online, you'll see that the Button's flex cable is to the right side of the button creating less space tolerence. So since there's isn't anything on the left of the button, you'll notice that there is less resistance creating slight movement.

Some phones will have it more than others but you can count on all samsung s7's to eventually have some kind of play/wiggle on the left side of the button. So In my opinion, I wouldn't exchange the phone for this type of issue unless the button didn't register being pressed properly. For example, the s6 was indeed manufactured differently and felt loose when lightly touched or tapped on. So it wouldn't always register presses properly. But thats not the case here and I wouldn't worry about it.

Hope that helps! :)
[HTC EVO 3D] master3d:
so i rooted my 3d awhile back (its release), although never did anything with it, then recently started getting heavy into roms and custom programs and well, programming in general.

well point is after a bunch of experimenting , i soft bricked the crap out of it after i flashed an unstable rom and forgot to backup my original (rooted)stock rom.

been on a search ever since.

any help with a rom would be greatly appreciated.

ps. Do i absolutely need the sprint stock rom? or can i go further and just flash any working rom (cyanogen, etc)
[HTC EVO 3D] mhnx:
A soft brick can be solved by installing a new stable rom. You don't need a stock rom. Where did your phone stuck?
[HTC EVO 3D] master3d:
its doesn't get past the htc boot logo.
[HTC EVO 3D] mhnx:
Did you try to install another rom? You are s-off? Which recovery do you have?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenguepay:
I bought a used LS990 on Ebay and I rooted it and installed TWRP and later tried activating it but it refused to connect to sprint's network so I did a complete factory reset with the .tot method and that did reset it and get rid of the secure boot errors but it also changed the ESN, MEID, IMEI, and all other identification information. I have tried using CDMA tool, QXDM, and also dial codes to modify those values but whenever I use computer based tools it seems to either not go through or revert immediately. Right now it is showing obviously corrupt data

Phone number: 0000008784

MIN: 000008784

ESN: 808D1BB1

MEID HEX: 35030526000000

IMEI: is correct, I was able to change it to my actual MEID and CDMA tool added a 3 to the end

Brand: Chameleon

My SPC/MSL code is 000000, I guess that's the default one

I'm not sure where to go from here, I have spent about 6 hours total working on this, have factory resetted more times than I can count on both hands and tried everything I could find on various forums

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:
Unfortiatly thats a touchy subject on here i cant tell u how to do it but get cmda workshop or dfs it can help.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysLucky:
Unfortunately, someone tried to modify the EEPROM themselves without the proper tools, and the information you are seeing is the result of that. Unless you have a backup of the original EEPROM, you will not be able to repair it yourself. You can't just change the ESN/MEID that easily for Sprint (or most networks, for that matter). I can not go into details on how it's actually done, even though you probably would not be able to obtain the right proprietary software to do it with. Unless you know someone who works at a Sprint repair shop or somewhere similar, I wouldn't even try to modify the EEPROM yourself. You'll just end up with a lot of frustration and a headache and lost time. It might even be illegal. ;)

I recommend going to the Swappa site and entering in the MEID from the sicker under the battery into the checker. If the MEID on the sticker is clean, simply take it into a Sprint repair shop and request they either send it in to be re-programmed, or they might be able to do it in shop. I'm not sure if they will charge you for that or if it would be covered under any warranties. :confused:

If it's not clean, the only way to even get a MEID dirty is to report it stolen or to not pay your bill for too long. So it sounds like the eBay seller probably shafted you if the MEID comes up dirty. Only Sprint would be able to remove it from the blacklist if the previous user didn't pay their bill. If it is blacklisted because it is stolen, Sprint will not clean the MEID at all for any reason, regardless.

Hope that helps. Good luck! :cowboy:
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenguepay:
No, the meid and esn were correct when I got it, it was totally stock. I changed the aboot which gave it a secure boot error and i did a sort of sloppy copy of my old lg g3 to the new one and some things broke but I just wanted it as a backup and/or media player. I gave it to someone as an upgrade and because of the modified aboot among other things it refused to connect to sprint networks so I did the tot factory reset and when I did that it overwrote the ESN and MEID. I checked the sticker and it didn't appear to be tampered at all and came out clean. I know tampering with the MEID and ESN are a legal grey zone but I'm trying to restore mine, not change it to someone else's. I already tried dfs and cdma workshop and both of them refused to actually change the values. I even resorted to using that manual qualcomm tool, I forget what it's called but it is used for editing those things among other things. The weird part is that I was able to successfully edit the imei to be the correct one but I was not able to edit any of the other values. I tried many things, I made sure the diagnostic mode or debug mode was enabled through the dialer, I tried it in download mode for fun, I made sure ADB was enabled, I tried changing the serial connection parameters and so much more but the ESN and MEID always refused to stick. I was thinking about resorting to editing the tot restore file somewhere with the correct values in hope that it would fix it. I'm really out of ideas at this point.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holistone:
same problem

I'm having the same problem with EXACTLY the same invalid entries, after a similar system copy via TWRP from one device to another. Did you ever manage to correct the MEID and ESN?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holistone:
I tried taking a LG G3 LS990 with the same MEID/IMEI mismatch to a Sprint repair store. They said they could probably correct the problem IF the phone was on an active Sprint account, without an account there was nothing they could do.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AlwaysLucky:
Apologies if this is a dumb question, but if you don't have an account with Sprint, why do you want the phone to have the right MEID? Are you selling it perhaps? If you plan on using the phone on Sprint, you could always sign up and then have them send it in? :confused: I must be missing something.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] holistone:
I've tried to activate the phone on RingPlus, a Sprint MVNO that uses the Sprint network. Activation fails and I assume it is due to the mismatch.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my1989:
Did you ever get this fixed?

I have the same issue.

Ls990 g3 Sprint phone and Sprint sim

Tried to do unroot and flash stock Rom. On reboot i lost data sim and sd issues popping up. Tried to flash the stock tot again and out came up as corrupt or invalid. Don't recall. Plugged into the cdma workshop and out gives all the exact (exact) same info as you posted.

So looking into the build prop it seems to be set GSM prepaid not Sprint spcm postpaid all Sprint apps are missing and the carrier folder no apn settings are set and there's no option to add using the short cut tool i can open add apn but no settings save at all flipping the airplane mode didn't help. The sim locks due to no network....
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] e20140:
Same problem on my LG G2. We need to put a BIG FAT warning out that the ToT method will destroy our Sprint LG phone.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paujmos:
DFS Professional can correct IMEI. With CDMA workshop, write all zeroes to ESN using LG method and then you can write MEID. Your phone will still probably need to be programmed properly though. This will help, but maybe not completely http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/f799/qcn-file-thread-1867281/index11.html#post12138691

I had similar happen to a VS985, still not 100% right but it is mostly functional

edit:

i guess i'll add, without cdma workshop, you may be able to get away with downloading proper qcn from link i provided and using DFS Pro to write IMEI, MEID, and ESN to qcn before flashing with qpst. Seemed flakey for me though.

Dear friends

Just gotten my new S7 edge and instead of putting the pin to the SIM card

hole I putted in the microphone hole :crying:

Do you believe I have damaged the microphone ? And can this been repair ?

I tried to ask if calling somebody and closing the down microphone he hear me

and he mention that my voice was far away and with interruptions .

Any advise and help :crying:

Sounds Like an exchange for a new phone may be in your future... I Can sympathize with you.... I can see how people could make that mistake.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Pilz:
I almost did that earlier today when swapping the sim from my 6P to the S7E (I change between the two phones often). Samsung should have put the sim tray on the side to avoid that, or made the mic hole a different size the tool wouldn't fit in it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] busab:
Lol I did that exact samething when I got mine. I don't think I hurt mine though. Guess I got lucky because I really jammed it in there good. The phone screamed "wrong hole!"

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] rawandroid:
do you think that samsung does this on purpose?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] snobrdr2324:
I did the same thing but it didn't seem to affect anything. I haven't tested the mic specifically but I ran it underwater and my phone didn't fry so I assume if it still is water resistant there was no way I could have destroyed the underlying mic or its protective water resistant barrier. When I first did it I found a post mentioning that the top mic on most phones is in the shape of an L, so if this is true, then all you were doing was stabbing the housing but there is no way to physically stab the mic with a simple pin insertion. Either way I have 14 days so if I did stab it and destroy the contents, ill exchange it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Vanquiz:
That's what she said...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] Megalos1951:
Thanks a lot gays :good:

I hope them that I haven't destroyed the microphone !

And I am happy to see that I am not the only one that have made that mistake ;)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] n0ise82:
sorry to pop the discussion up, but today I did the same thing (pin the mic hole instead of the sim tray), but I felt something moving inside while I was pushing..that happened to you too? I read you tested it underwater (that's my only concern, since I tested the mic and it works fine and I believe I just only removed the "water proof" seal)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] snobrdr2324:
I didn't notice anything moving around in there after I did it. I haven't noticed any major side effects thus far so I am going to assume it didn't damage anything considering the mic still works as well as the waterproofing. If something is moving then I would be nervous to try it underwater, but if you have insurance I'd test it and have it replaced if it isn't waterproof anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] n0ise82:
Thanks for the reply, I meant, when I pushed the clip inside the mic, I felt something "going away" down the hole, maybe some kind of seal? Goretex layer? I was wondering if you felt the same when you pushed the first time inside that hole (lol it seems naughty).

I don't have an insurance so I can't try if it fries or not under the water :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] snobrdr2324:
It's been a while now, but I don't recall noticing anything move as I pressed it in either. It felt like the sim ejector port that I thought it was until I realized nothing was popping out. I pressed firmly but not forcefully, so if I didn't break anything then I bet you didn't either, but I could be wrong since I don't actually know what is going on in that mic hole.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Accessories] danlnyc:
The best thing to do would be to ask for an exchange within the 14 day return period.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AaronAverage:
I recently got myself a SM G 935F and it's working great so far, but I have one issue. When I play games that use high graphics it's sometimes messing it up.

For example, GTA is flickering really much every couple seconds. Unfortunately, I seem to be unable to screenshot that. Also, in this game, it looks pretty awkward as well, I've attached a screenshot of that. In Crazy Taxi it's not lagging or anything, but it sometimes doesn't react to any touches on the screen that I make for some seconds.

I've also attached two Screenshots of a graphics benchmark test, and the result is that my phone ended up like half as good as other SGS7E's.

I already did a reset (didn't have much data on it yet anyway) but it didn't help.

Does anyone else experienced anything like this?

And do you think I should just wait for updates for the apps and the phone itself which may fix problems like this?

My software version is G935FXXU1APB4 (6.0.1) and I have an European Exynos model.

Thanks in advance for anyone who takes time to reply!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Jacosta:
As many I'm sure are aware now either Tmobile or Samsung has locked the bootloader of all US variants. Are any of you guys returning your phone because of this? If you are what will you be switching too? I'm debating if I should get a note 5 or just skip out on Samsung this time for really pissing me off!

I really wanted to keep this phone. It is absolutely gorgeous and runs great. I cannot fathom paying almost $800 for a phone that I cannot root and truly customize to my liking. So back to Tmobile I go today to return my Titanium Edge. Still have some time on my remorse period thankfully. Will you still keep your phone knowing we may never acquire root?

I read about the locked bootloader yesterday.

I was ready to trade in my LG4 for the Edge, but I'll be holding off.

I may hold onto my G4 and take a look at the G5, although I don't care for the modules or smaller screen. Maybe the Edge ewill get unlocked. Maybe not. I'm in no rush to purchase a new device.

Well this sucks.. I've been flashing my phones since the G1 (HTC Dream) days and not being able to root is kind of a deal breaker... I do like the use of Samsung Pay but I would gladly do away with it if I could root my device. I'm hopeful the devs will be able to work around this somehow..

I'm still in my remorse period so maybe I'll jump to the Google ship and have full blown freedom over what I want to be able to do with my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] krytikul:
I'll be sticking with mine. As much as I want root, Samsung did a fine job with their flavor of Marshmallow imo. Kinda sucks though, I switched over to T-Mobile from ATT and having an unlocked bootloader(At least history of this) was certainly a selling point.

The phone is a beast no doubt but this locking of the bootloader on even the TMO version is very sad. I had just put my Note 4 into its coffin and sealed up the package. I then proceeded to read the article on the front page. [emoji22] [emoji22]
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] krytikul:
Very sad indeed... Learning of locked bootloader was like a punch in the stomach. I spent many hours transitioning from ATT and was looking forward to extended possibilities of this phone on T-Mobile.

I've still got a small thread of hope that T-Mobile will take action on this. If not, hopefully an exploit will come to at least obtain root :)
