[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BoroChief:
I noticed that popping/crackling too some weeks ago.

Brought the phone back to the store and they apparently sent it to a samsung repair center who replaced the audio jack and the battery.

I had some weird crackling the first day after getting it back but it wasn't that anoying. But in meantime it got worse and I can hear the popping again as earlier...

this happen when the MP3 or file is corrupt. You should try getting does MP3 files again. it happened to me once and I download all my mp3 again. Problem solved.

Update: retarded crackles despite replacement

To revive this thread which seems to have fallen asleep as usual in forums once things could get interesting, but also to give a little update:

Got my first S7 replaced and after I had 5 (in words: FIVE) to choose from thanks to Samsung's apparently unexisting quality control (1 with the audio crackling, 2 with pixel error / screen imperfection within the glass, another with a wobbly home button) I was happy to finally found the "one" (suppressing the fact that it actually can't be serious that one has to buy several devices to pick the best one and such a sh1tty company shouldn't be supported).

At first I didn't notice anything weird but recently, I listened to a podcast and also had a video running - only to encounter them again:

the random, f4cking annoying and retarded crackles which sound like bad buffering within the DAC or whatever. It's frustrating beyong imagination. :mad:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] little-endian:
Possible workaround to get rid of the crackling

Alright, yet another update from my side:

First of all, I recently updated the S7 (G930FD) to Nougat 7.0 while completely resetting it and the error persists.

Trying to narrow it down, I noticed that the crackling at least now only occurs with Wifi enabled and while in idle state. Hence, the crackles disappear once either I turn off Wifi or put load on the Wifi module by downloading something in the background. The latter one is especially strange as then the data transfer on the bus itself can't be the problem.

To increase the chances of any valuable contribution from others (which seems to be a challenge), I've also posted my findings here.

Can someone please verify this and report back?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] BoroChief:
I tried turning off wifi but i still get the popping/crackling noise. Although I am not sure, is there on Nougat some kind of background wifi scanning like there was on Marshmallow and earlier versions? Maybe I didn't disable that ?

Any luck?

Hi, i have used my phone for multimedia and after getting galaxy s7 edge i have been suffering of the pop sounds. It was not a problem with my last phone.

My motherboard, audio connection and audio jack has been changed in service. Its really wierd problem. In service center people ware really suptised when i spoke about this. This is why i had bad feeling about a fix. Yes, the service did not fix anything. :rolleyes:

It is really annoying static pop sound. Feels like something is broken when that sound comes.

This is similar to Lg G4 uneven backlight. I went trough 3 panels and all had the same problem, so it was a normal fault in lg phone..my switch to samsung was trough bad screen + battery in newer lg phones. Now i have a hard screen to cover with film and ocaisionaly popping phone.

Is this problem from hardware? I dont dare to root and test it with custom rom. But i am intrested does ROM USERS have these ocaisional "pops" on their phones?

Galaxy s7 edge, exynos
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Pallonaado:
Screen and battery change

This feels really stupid. I had a no screenprotector and i did not hear any popping sounds. I got phone yesterday from repair.

Today i put a screenprotector and i taped it with clear tape to stick. I does not stick with my cases witout a lot of clear tape. When i was finnished and started enjoying BOOM: "Pop", "pop".

Do we have to use liquid screen protector in these edge screens? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Pallonaado:
Feeling stupid

Okay in long run the problem was not fixed. I do know that i am more audiophile than average joe so i dont know if this is just the nature of samsung os. Trying to fix it now on by ignoring the annoying pops.

Some guy spoke about a software update fixing the issue. Lets see. Anyone else gotten the problem solved?
[XDA Assist] charlie1208:
what i did:

1. i downloaded MTK Android Tools and backed up my stock ROM.

2. i created a CWM recovery image using the same MTk Android Tools and successfully installed it in my tablet.

3. i copied the new ROM file, 'AICP.V9-sporut 5.1.1 [MT6582]'to my sdcard.

4. Using the CWM recovery i wiped the data/factory reset but FORGOT TO WIPE THE CACHE PARTITION. then i installed the new ROM and it was a success.

5. After rebooting the tablet, the tab started looping the launch logo [fading]. i think that i got stuck at bootloop scenario. At this stage i was not able to access recovery mode too [power + Volume Up] .

6.Now using the SP Flash tool, i flashed my tablet with the stock ROM [which i made a back up earlier].

7.The phone is still stuck at the logo. Now i was able to acess only default recovery mode [Android System Recovery <3E>] ...BUT THE CWM RECOVERY WAS LOST.

8. Now i tried to install the zip file of the stock ROM from the sdcard, but i got the message 'Installation aborted'.

iam stuck at nowhere..

[T-Mobile LG G4] pianoplayer88key:
Hi all, I just bought the G4 from T-Mobile yesterday. (It was discounted to $350, which put me over the edge.) My Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G (SGH-T699) is 3+ years old, so was time to replace it. It was getting really sluggish, apps were crashing I think due to running out of memory, it would often thermal shutdown (and always when using maps to navigate while driving), etc.

I had been looking at the Blu Pure XL for a few months, but was waiting on the development community to put a 3rd-party ROM on it. Well if you look in the Pure XL forums, you'll see how well (or not!) that has gone.

So now I have the G4, and would like to restore app data, messaging and call history, etc. from my SGH-T699. My Galaxy is rooted with Cyanogenmod 11 and Titanium Backup Pro. The LG G4 is NOT rooted, and I would prefer to wait to do that until the warranty expires.

How would I restore those things with something like adb backup and restore, or with Helium? (I know Titanium doesn't work on a non-rooted device.) Or is there a better/easier/safer way to do it?

Btw, last time I tried setting up Helium with my Relay 4G several months ago, my computer (Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, i7-4790K, ASRock Z97 Extreme6, 32GB G.Skill DDR3-1600 RAM, 12+ TB HDD space (4x HGST 7200rpm NAS), etc) unable to connect with it that way. I was able to use ADB backup/restore to do a nandroid backup on that phone, and also Titanium (once it was rooted) has helped me keep apps backed up.

I'm guessing that doing a full adb backup from the Relay 4G and adb restore that backup to the G4 wouldn't work, right?

I did do the OTA update to Marshmallow on the G4. (Only mentioning that cause of the other posts that mention hard-bricking when downgrading, but I don't know if that applies to me at this time since I'm not putting a custom ROM on it yet.)

Again, I do NOT want to root the G4 before the warranty is expired, UNLESS it won't void the warranty. (Same goes for installing a custom ROM, or anything that would void the warranty.) I have enabled developer options in the G4 (tapping build number 7 times), but I haven't used the unlock app provided by T-Mo (which I think is a SIM or carrier unlock, not bootloader unlock anyway) yet. (Edit: I did do the carrier unlock, but made the mistake of making it a temporary and not permanent unlock. Do I need to wait the 30 days or can I perm-unlock immediately? Edit 2: turns out it gave me the option, but said it's ineligible. I did pay for the device in full, but I guess I still have to wait a month?)
[T-Mobile LG G4] junglescope:
I don't know how, but I do have a quick question! What are the first three digits of your serial #? Because I also just bought the G4 from T-Mobile, it's arriving in a couple days, but 505-509 serial numbers are seemingly affected by the dreaded bootloop issues. Do you which batch T-Mobile has in their stock right now? If it's 512/601/602 it should be fine.

(this post is assuming you bought the phone online, but even if you bought it in-store I would still like to know. :) )
[T-Mobile LG G4] pianoplayer88key:
I bought my phone in store, specifically Parkway Plaza in El Cajon, CA. Upon inspection, it does look like I have the dreaded 509(KP...) number. I just bought it yesterday so maybe I should take it back and see if I can get it exchanged for one with a different serial? (Maybe at a different T-Mobile location?)
[T-Mobile LG G4] pianoplayer88key:
Well $*!*!! I was typing a reply, and my internet connection went down when I went to submit it! >:(

Anyway, the T-Mo store told me to basically keep my G4 until / unless it exhibits the problem. Also, is there a way to find out if my phone would exhibit that issue? Mine's serial starts with 509KPZK... Is there a way I can test for the issue myself before I do anything more with the phone?

I can't get adb *or* Helium working - my computer can't see my phone, other than opening it in the file explorer. :( In Linux, the adb shell script won't run cause it says the adb file (which is right in that folder!) doesn't exist. In Windows, "adb devices" comes up empty, and Helium can't see the phone no matter what mode or USB port I try, and yes, USB debugging is enabled.

I really need to do a full backup of the current phone, then restore my app *data*, SMS, call history, saved games, etc. from my Samsung Galaxy S Relay 4G SGH-T699 to my LG G4 H811.

Since I can't get any of the above things to work, what else can I do, *WITHOUT* rooting the G4?? I am *NOT* going to root it before the warranty (I think 1 year) expires, *UNLESS* I can do a FULL backup, then restore that full backup and turn off root access to be able to return the phone for warranty service if I get that issue.

Also the T699 is frequently stopping recognizing my SD card. That issue started happening right after I changed my service over to the G4's sim (which is a different size sim so I don't think I can just pull it out of one phone and put it in the other.)

As for the G4, did I get the wrong phone? (warranty void if rooted, can't connect to PC, etc.) I'm still within the 14-day window. If so, what other phone has the same or better features (1440p screen, 3GB RAM, Snapdragon 808 or better CPU, removable battery+SD, etc) for the same price ($350) without buying a used one on ebay or buying on Amazon from a 3rd-party seller (unless it's a known established retailer), that is more dev friendly? (The Blu Pure XL which I had considered seems to be quite dev UNfriendly, the Moto X Pure and Nexus devices either lack removable batteries or SD cards and are too expensive, the Note 4 hasn't been dropped in price like the G4 has, etc.)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] JGUI:
I have problem with Wifi connection. I cannot get access to my Wifi AP (inside PC workstation: card Gigabyte).

I use HTC Athena with WM6 official HTC ROM (build 17745.0.2.3).

Beside Athena, I have on room others WM devices, and they are connecting to my Wifi AP without problems. For example Eten X500. I tried different authentication modes, WEP, WPA-PSK, nothing success. I'm sure all settings in Athena are the same as on my others devices. My AP is visible on Settings/Wi-fi dialog, and marked as "Available". but when I try to tap-and-hold this name, and select: Connect, then nothing will happen. It's displaying Connecting for a while, and then back to Available.

Is there any Wifi fix for HTC Athena?

[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdd:
I have an Imate JasJam and I am facing similar problems.

Here is what I have on my phone:

ROM - Black Satin

Radio - 1.43.00.00

IPL - 1.04

SPL - 1.20 Olipro

I recently flashed to this ROM image from the following web-site:

http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=62&Itemid=26

At first it worked for about 3-4 days. Now all of sudden it has stopped working.

- I see that the WiFi connects to my access point.

- I can ping the device from my PC - so seems like it's fine on the internal network

- I have office communicator installed on the device - this seems to connect to my company server - I can see my colleagues online/offline

- On the other hand - Live Messenger does not connect, IE cannot view any site. Says "Page could not be found. Check the spelling and try again"

I wonder what went wrong.

Anyone seen this issue?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] sabes143:
Wifi Problem wm6

Hi

The problems you have explained possibly caused by the driver update on the pc for the Wifi AP. Try uninstall the Ap and delete the settings from the Ameo, Then set up the device with WPA- TSK settings after reinstall the Ap with new drivers.

Good luck.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development] pdd:
Actually, I could not figure what was going on. It surely was an issue with my device. Since my laptop(s) could connect just fine.

I did a hard reset - clear storage and the problem is gone.

I think it could have been due to some software installation on the device.

Now, question is which is that software. I will keep an out for this and see what happens each time when I install a new software on the device.

Hey Everyone,

I'm new here, but not new to Android development I have been in android development for 2 years now generating decent income so far. In the last 6 months I have purchased a lot of apps source code from code canyon.

40% of the apps I didn't publish them on play store (for no reason) just sitting on my hard drive So it's time for giveaways to the people who need it, with full documentation

Please note :

that i will give 1 source code per person depends on the type of the app that he wants so that everyone can have at least 1 source code.

Send me an email with an example of the app you want and i'll send it to you. :)

Wich app is good for testing sd card speed.

I have a Samsung pro plus 128gb sd card and I have slow speed. I don't know Wich app's are accurate.

My test with a1 sd bench

66 MB/s read and 44 MB/s write.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] skiddingus:
That's pretty good unless you have a really high end sd card. I only get about 18mb write with the Samsung EVO card that best buy was giving for free. The internal memory screams at 300mb read and 150mb write.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Lerduvan:
I guess first we would have to define what accurate means, Im sure the benchmarks are accurate in what they are measuring and Im sure its not accurate to real life use.

Anyway my A1 bench score is 62MB/s & 16MB/s I/O. I use the long benchmark but the "accurate" test with reboot was similar +-1MB/s. This is with a SanDisk Ultra MicroSDXC 80MB/s Class 10, 64GB.

I guess these tests best represent what speeds you could expect while transferring "large" files, perhaps the random I/O test is better if you want something closer to real life usage?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] aaronito:
I tested out and it's the same about 1MB/s difference. But mine sd card has 95MB/s read and 90MB/s write and I not getting close to it. That's why I ask of the benchmark are accurate.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Tiny Wiz:
Every manufacturer has their own way of measuring the speeds. All shown speeds in the ads are best case scenario and not real world that you would expect.

There are som many variables that limit the speed of reading/writing so the numbers show are only good for comparison to other cards and best for comparison within the same brand (assuming they always use the same method of measurement).

So no need to worry....
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] aaronito:
Okay thanks
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] HTCMDA:
The phone could be limiting the speeds as well.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Lerduvan:
Tried In a GS5 and got 44/12MB/s out of the same SD memory. Perhaps playing around with some kernel tweaks might give you a more satisfying result? :)

I have tested several cards in my phone. The fastest card I own is a Lexar 1000x 32gb card that claims a 150mbs read and a 45mbs write. The testing only gives about 71mbs read and 34 mbs write. As you can see it is far from the manufacturers stated numbers.

The Samsung EVO 64gb that Best buy was giving away with the phone gave me about 35mbs read and 20mbs write if I remember correctly.

There are a couple of problems after installing the final BTU version of MM on my S6 (64GB) .

I am unable to see any of my IMAP custom folders in the default mail app (I only see the inbox, sent, draft etc.). If I use a third party email app eg Outlook or Aqua Mail, the custom folders are visible. Although a minor issue, the user manual links to the Italian version rather than the UK.

I've tried a hard reset and the issues remain. Please could someone running the official UK BTU firmware check their phone to see whether these issues are replicated on their device. Ironically, there were no problems when I ran the BETA MM firmware (official Samsung beta programme) - the issues have only occurred following the OTA upgrade to the final version. Thanks.
