[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gtg465x:
Those results are BS and don't match real world results. Galaxy S7 edge gets the same battery life as the S6? No way. I owned an S6 and now own a Snapdragon 820 S7 edge and battery life is not even close. The S6 I would have to charge when I got home from work to make it through the evening. The S7 edge lasts me until bedtime and still has plenty of battery left.

why will a web site give wrong information?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Toss3:
Because they want people to get upset as that means people will share the information and so forth.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] umbrokhan:
ok thanks maybe they don't want people to buy Samsung Galaxy S7. maybe a Troll website...fooling people
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] gtg465x:
Well hopefully they didn't give wrong information on purpose. I think it's more likely that their test is just flawed or they made a mistake in testing.

[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casperf1:
Hey guys, I recently purchased a second hand Galaxy S6 (not an Edge variant) and I'm curious as to how exactly, I go about rooting it in order to unlock it. I remember rooting my S3 was relatively straight forward, but this seems a little more complex partly due to just how many options there are for all the different models.

I'm on Android 5.1.1, and my build number is currently: LMY47X.G920FXXU3QOJF

If anybody could point me towards a relevant guide or provide a little more information, that'd be awesome. Cheers!

Get into downloadmode, flash a kernel with autoroot via Odin. Reboot and congratulations ^^
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casperf1:
Neat, thanks for the response!

Would this Kernel suffice? http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s6/sams...nt/kernel-hacker-kernel-s6-universal-t3254487

Also, as a result, would this make my phone automatically unlocked from all network carriers?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alfa Kenny One:
You can use that kernel. I use SpaceX kernel. They are both with autoroot.

I dont know if it unlock all network carriers. I think phone can already support different ROM's from different carriers.

I flashed for example French ROM. And now im on the official dutch again
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casperf1:
I managed to get it working. For those who are curious, this is a great video that illustrates exactly what to download and from where, depending on your region.

Now that I'm rooted, however, does anybody have any idea how to unlock my device?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alfa Kenny One:
Try a Nexus 6P
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Casperf1:
Great answer!

Seriously though, considering I just bought this, and Nexus 6Ps are about 200 more here, that's not really an option.

I'd rather this not turn into a 'what device is better' thread, please.

And I'm gonna go into their store today and see what they can do for me. Apparently, it's only £8.99 for an unlock, I just wondered if there existed any free method.
[Huawei Watch] ortid59:
I have been having problems for sometime where I don't get SMS or email notifications to the watch. It will show a phone call coming in but not the others. I thought the update would fix it but it didn't. I have factory reset it, repaired it and changed default applications. I am going crazy as I bought the watch just to get those notificiations. I am thinking of selling it and getting the Gear S2. Any ideas? Please help.

thanks in advance
[Huawei Watch] undrwater:
I get most notifications, just not from my sms app, textra. [MENTION=7337070]ortid59[/MENTION], have you tried a factory reset of the watch? It should force a sync of the apps and allow you to receive the notifications.
[Huawei Watch] kimtyson:
Or you can resync apps from Android Wear.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tw557:
I have been an android user for 5 years but recently my S6 got broken. So I used my daughters old iphone 5s for a few weeks. I have to admit the texts simplicity was really very nice. I receive a text with a popup in the middle of the screen, swipe left to dismiss or swipe right and the message app opens with the keyboard popping right up. Very convenient especially one handed. With android I need to swipe down the banner, tap reply and and then also tap in the reply area of the message to get the keyboard to pop up.

Ive tried a few apps with good results but just nothing as simple as the iphone. Chomp ok but won't show MMS in popup and no sending indicator. Textra good but small banner popup only on top of screen plus no sending indicator. Yaata best so far but sends all my pictures turned sideways. Also all the texting apps show all my previous texts once I download the app but the scrolling if VERY VERY choppy. I do plenty of one handed texting and just like it to be as simple as possible. Thanks, Tim
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almobams:
hi everyone,

For the past 2.5 years I have owned an HTC one M7 and I was very happy with it except the poor camera which died after like 1 year!

anyhow, with that phone I had no issues whatsoever and I am still using it.

Last month, I decided to buy the nexus 6p. Since owning this piece of art I have been happy. However, there is a serious issue with it and I believe it is a software bug. In my home, the signal is not that great. when somebody calls me and I answer the call he/she CAN hear me while I CANNOT hear him/her! within the call, if I turn the WIFI off while the data is on then I will be able to hear him/her without disconnecting the call. My brother has the same phone and he faces the same issue. The weird thing is that my friend who is owning OnePlus 2 has exactly the same issue!

1. Do you have any solution to this issue?

2. How to communicate this with Google?

Thank you.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vref:
If you bought it from the Google store go back to the website and hit them up for help. When you submit your issue they'll call you failry quickly and if that doesn't work (cause you can't hear them etc) they will follow up with an email with the 855 number to call for support. Don't wait for the warranty to expire, do it now.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mellomelon45:
Do you have WiFi calling enabled?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osi13:
I second this. If you bought it from the Play Store Google's support is really good. You should get a new phone the next day, or within a few days.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almobams:
Thank you all.

- I have bought it from local store and I believe it is an authorized reseller. Google Store is not available in my country.

- Wifi Calling is not enabled.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vref:
Are you sure the phone supports the bands offered in your country?

Have you tried factory reset?

It sounds software related to me. Since returning it isn't really an option you might try rooting the phone and just running either the stock ROM or a custom ROM.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] almobams:
mine is the international version and it is supported. Also, this only happens when the signal is weak. Also, turning wifi off will fix the issue with the call quality.

I do not want to use a custom ROM actually.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raydee35:
Where is the setting for Wifi calling? When I am at home on Wifi I am having the same issue but once I am not on Wifi the phone seems to work great.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super_Commando:
Hi guys..

My brother recently updated his x play to marshmallow and used his sd card (sandisk 32 gb) as internal storage. Few days back he did a factory reset after which the phone is not recognising sd card (it shows the sd card as 'unsupported') and asks to format it, to use . he'll lose all the data, if he formats it.

Any help would be highly appreciated.
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K.khiladi:
I guess that's the only way as the card is encrypted.

[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Super_Commando:
Though the card is encrypted, it should be usable in the same phone.

Isn't there any way to recover data from the card (mainly photos)?
[X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] K.khiladi:
You can try some recovery apps available over the Internet.

Same thing happened with my friend also. He had his external formatted as internal and factory resetted his device. When restarted, the phone said to format the external card. ?

[Android One (First-Generation) Cross-Device Genera] sheshank:
i am confused about porting boot.img of MIUI 7
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Paper Guy:
Moved from Galaxy S7 forums. I thought that section included the Edge, as it contains the same title. I actually have the Galaxy S7 Edge.

Copied and pasted from my Reddit post.

I've been searching the internet for a while for a fix on this, and there seem to be a handful of people who have had this issue in the past, but fixed it through varying means, from rebooting the phone, to full on factory reset. However, I'm not sure if I'm having the same issue with this phone. I'm new to Samsung, as I was previously an iPhone user for four years, and have simply imported the MP3s as they were onto my new phone.

I was listening to music the other day on my heaphones (if it matters, AudioTechnica ATH-M30, three years of age), when I heard a slight unfamiliar pop. It happened once and I brushed it off as a one time thing. Then it happened again about a minute later. It wasn't loud or anything, rather quiet if anything, but it still comes across to me as slightly infuriating. The pops usually occur from a minute apart from each other to 30 seconds. I tried switching from Google Play to another music playing application. Shuttle had the same issue, as well as GoneMad, and having PowerAmp (the one that's been told to have fixed this issue) produce the same issue had me come here.

I've tried turning the equalizer in each app to Flat or Off, if given the option. I've tried rebooting the phone. I've tried plugging my headphones into another computer to see if they were the problem, but the music was fine on the computer. By this point, I've tried everything I could possibly think of and every other possible solution given on other forums, yet to no avail. I would try converting the MP3s into WAVs or whichever audio file extension is recommended for this phone, however I found that not only my music apps do this, but other applications as well. Not too confident that converting them will help in any way. This happens with both my headphones (which are 65 ohms) and earphones that were provided alongside the phone (35 ohms). The one in the thread said it may have to do something with the impedance. Just adding this bit in if that's the case.

The reason that I'm so obsessed with this dinky little issue is because I listen to ambient albums. Randomly scattered snapping in the audio really puts off the atmosphere. I'm also an audiophile.

Is anyone else having this issue? If so, will there be a fix? Is there a temporary fix for now? Could it be faulty drivers, and if so, should I get my phone replaced?

Thanks for any and all feedback!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Paper Guy:
Well, I gave in and did a full on factory reset, and it didn't work. My last suspicion is that this phone's drivers are faulty. Any advice before I rush to assumptions?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] squallz506:
How exactly did you import the music? Did you recode and export with iTunes? Copy and paste from pc? Does streaming music also pop?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Paper Guy:
Copy and pasted from PC. Originally downloaded as MP3s, and are still MP3s. No changes have been made to them. As for streaming, I'm not sure. I haven't tried it, but I would think that if integrated audio files on the phone as well as apps produce this issue, I can't imagine why streaming would be any different.

Have you try to listen music in airplane mode. With some modems, it happens to me with my S3 and S5.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] squallz506:
Streaming music would be different if your media library is corrupted. Try streaming something.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Paper Guy:
Tried it. Did not work.

Popping is still present in streaming. I tried streaming music from both Microsoft Groove's player and on Bandcamp.

My apologies for this late reply.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] daLareid:
If it's still showing even when streaming audio my guess would be it's probably hardware related, since you already tried a reset, might be a faulty audio chipset, if it's too bothering you should exchange it for a new one.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] riso123:
I don't have this issue,but something similar in terms of slight tearing in audio.

It appears the output sound is not very strong compared to its predecessors,but hoping a kernel with audio mods might help.

V4a has improved things a little,especially turning off direct dac in power amp.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Paper Guy:
Thanks. I take my music seriously, and it would be a heavy burden if this issue were continued.

Also, if it's significant let alone related, I tried to play a Gear VR game last night. I attempted to use my bluetooth speaker, but the sound was heavily delayed, so I used a direct link: an audio jack to audio jack cable. Both had the same popping, so I switched over to my phone's speakers, and found that the popping was also present on it.

It may or may not be important. I simply thought it was worth mentioning.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] daLareid:
Yeah, could be software related but due to the fact that pretty much regardless of how you play your music or where you play it it keeps acting up and making that sound plus the fact that a hard reset didn't fix it makes me believe it's hardware related so yeah if I were you I would just trade it for a new one if you still can.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Paper Guy:
Alright, well I swapped out the phones, and am still getting the popping. This is starting to become a little bit infuriating... Any ideas?

If I can't get this fixed, then I may just go back to Apple. This is a fantastic phone and all, but holy hell if this isn't driving me insane.

Edit: In other news, PowerAmp randomly plays audio files as distorted. The paid version. Getting very close to a breaking point.

Edit 2: Switched from PowerAmp to Shuttle. Not hearing any popping so far, but I'm not very hopeful by this point.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] daLareid:
Can't believe you still having that pop even after getting a brand new phone. Third time is the charm maybe?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Paper Guy:
Maybe, but I feel that at this point, this problem is happening with all phones and a very select few are actually noticing it. On another note, when I'm playing a game, the audio will randomly cut out for about five seconds, with occasional cut ins. There is no pattern as to when they happen, however I can say that when it does cut out, the volume buttons are nonfunctional. So it may have something else to do with the audio drive. The same thing happened on the other Edge as well, but it was unrelated at the time, however now, I think every little detail is relevant.

Third time's the charm? God I hope. I would love for this phone's audio to work without issue, as the experience aside the audio has been amazing, but after having it happen on two phones, I'm not too hopeful now. I'll try swapping it out once more, unless anyone has a final comment.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] daLareid:
Tbh I did check for it with both regular audio and my Sennheiser headphones no issues whatsoever. You won't unhear that pop so might as well swap it one last time and if you do happen to be unlucky enough to encounter the same issues on a 3rd phone either you stick with it or get some other phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Paper Guy:
In case you were listening to something like heavy metal (or something loud with a lot of instruments going on at once), it may not be audible. Again, I listen to ambient and music that doesn't scatter all over the place too much. I can hear it in music such as the Interstellar soundtrack.

It would really suck to turn this phone in. Love the VR.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] daLareid:
I actually gave it a try with something EDM, and also some instrumental music. Was thinking of listening to some ambient tunes I like from my favorite producers but his music intentionally has crackle, pop, vinyl like sounds so that wouldn't have worked.

I do hope you don't need to let go off it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] fran_blade:
Me too. When my phone is sending music by bluetooth on my car, sometimes i heard that weird "poppups" and it makes me nervous.

I'm trying to figure out if it's problem with my micro sd or not.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shadow1117:
Hello,

I’m having the same issue, on speaker or headphone the audio is crackling and popping.

when I use the phone to listen to music in my car over Bluetooth the crackling and popping goes away but occasionally the audio fades away and comes back (like if you have received a message).

I tested it with YouTube, Spotify, local FLAC music, local 320k mp3 and various other media it is always the same issue. I tried changing audio settings but it doesn’t seem to affect anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Beefheart:
I can't see any reference to what device you have, is it the Snapdragon or Exynos? They have completely different DACs so it's almost certainly relevant. I have the Exynos here and have no such issues, running Spotify or GoneMad with V4A.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shadow1117:
Yes,

Forgot about this I have the SM-G935F with Exynos 8890. Maybe there are some issues with the “first produced” devices.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] pyrokinetic:
How long does it take for the issue to reproduce? The only similar thing that I observed on my 935F was when using the Soundcamp samsung app. Sometimes during looping the audio would become distorted (actually unusable, not some random pops). Restart of the app fixed it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shadow1117:
It does this quiet often, I can try to reproduce and film this when I’m back home.

Here is the Video, this is the first video I’ve ever edited and uploaded so please be patient. I was only able to get the error with YouTube... but it was with music too but way rarer.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAR0dRRCwK8
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Paper Guy:
Something new I just discovered: after I was finished listening to music, I left my headphones on for a bit because I was too focused to take them off. I still heard the pop even when not listening to anything.

Also, the game issue I mentioned in my earlier post. I noticed that in some games I don't have the popping, however the audio ceasing to work in the games seems to happen just as frequently as the popping. My guess is that the two are directly related and that the popping is a hardware error that makes it temporarily incompatible with the app, thus canceling it out (if that makes sense).

Just a few things I wanted to add in. I'll be contacting Samsung in a few hours about getting this phone replaced again.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Shadow1117:
Any new ideas? Do you get a new phone? What did Samsung say?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Paper Guy:
No new ideas. Contacted Samsung. They said that I've already tried everything that they would have asked me to do. They told me to swap it out again at Best Buy, but the thing is that I'm not sure if I even can by this point. It's been more than two weeks since I received the first phone and that means the free replacement period is up, so I'm not sure if they will allow me to do so again. If anyone could shed some insight on that, it would come as a great help to me. If it ends up being that I can't get it replaced, I suppose I'll try for a refund. The noises have become increasingly noticeable therefore irritating over these past few days and I'm about ready to give in.

Also, it may not be said here often because of the absurd relation to the situations we find ourselves with these phones, but thank you for your persistent concern in this situation.

[MENTION=7337020]Paper Guy[/MENTION]

I specifically registered here in order to be able to follow this up, wondering if there is any update now from your side after about 5 months.

Did you get another replacement from your merchant or Samsung directly?

Could you further narrow down the issue?

I have the same retarded problem on a newly bought S7 Duos (G930FD) and it drives me nuts.

I found a YouTube - video which shows the issue I have quite equally:

youtube.com/watch?v=wAR0dRRCwK8

Furthermore, an interesting discovery I made: when hooking up an external sound card to the S7 via USB, there is no crackling. Hence it can't be the app but has to be due to some buffering bug or audio chipset issue related to the built-in DAC.
