[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustincrock:
So, I have a Galaxy note 3 G900A. Not sure what version and I don't have access to that. So, it has the Alliance rom installed on it. It was working fine for months with absolutely no problems. Then all of a sudden, earlier, it said NFC has stopped working, over and over again. Then, I turned off the phone and it failed to turn on. It will not get past the splash screen. It just wants to stay dark and if I leave it alone long enough, it automatically goes into recovery mode. I can get into recovery mode and download mode normally. I already tried factory reset and all of that. None of my computers will recognize the phone and I have tried multiple cables as well. Odin won't recognize it and neither will samsung kies. I tried installing stock rom through SD card and it says

Verifying update package:

E:Footer is Wrong

E: Signature Verification Failed.

It does that no matter what rom I try to install. I can't afford to get another phone right now and it is the only one I have and I just don't know what else I can do. Any help is greatly appreciated.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spookykidmm:
Well to start backwards, the stock recovery isn't really meant to flash zips, but it should go farther than saying Footer Is Wrong

Signature Verification has failed. For me, it says that, then if you wait a few seconds, it'll say a few other things, then install from sd card complete and it wipes data and cache then reboots. Next, you have to use an official cable for that, Media Transfer doesn't work correctly without oem cable
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sparx:
Have you tried reinstalling the drivers on your pc or tried a different pc?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustincrock:
I do use an oem cable. Same thing. The rest of what you said does happen though.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spookykidmm:
The cord is funky sometimes. Try to "mangle" it a little bit to see if odin will say "Added!". I know I have to basically wrap mine around the computer to get it to work correctly
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustincrock:
Yes I have. Still the same problems.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spookykidmm:
Any luck?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustincrock:
No. No luck..

A Last Resort

As a last resort, put the device into download mode and connect to KIES 3. Go to tools and do a complete reinstallation. This will return you device to full factory specs and latest approved software, no custom ROM, no root, and no saved data. But at least you will have a functioning device. As soon as possible look into getting a new battery.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dustincrock:
I even used different batteries. And kid won't work because the phone isn't detected by the computer as being a phone. Kies doesn't pick up the phone, even in download mode
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zancro:
Your only remaining option might be to send your device away for professional help. In the past I have used the services of Josh at: http://mobiletechvideos.com/ . (I am not related to that organization in any way.) For around $50.00 they can do a complete refresh, and in my case offered to root and load the custom ROM of my choice for a small additional fee. It took about one week.

Good luck.

G900A?

I checked back to see if you had solved the problem and noticed something I missed earlier... Your OP says you are using a G900A. Are you referencing a Note 3 or some other device?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Headlocker:
I'd really love to upgrade to a G5 soon, but I love my note, pen and all. Any thoughts from the community? Love to hear them. Thanks guys
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ir0r0:
So I wasn't satisfied with the device and want to return it. However, it's already rooted. Can I just return it in the rooted state or do I unroot it? And how? I would appreciate a fast answer since tomorrow is the deadline for returning it.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewski_1:
flash the factory image and it will be unrooted.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ir0r0:
So boot into fastboot, and then just "flash image.tgz"? What format should the image be in?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewski_1:
uncompress the image.

there's a script to flash inside starting within bootloader or mimic the fastboot commands in the *.bat or *.sh file manually.
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkryder:
i would think you could factory reset and then lock bootloader? does reset just clear data or does it recreate standard image?
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drewski_1:
it deletes data, settings, apps, but won't roll back changes made to system or kernel for root . . . but i guess it depends on how closely the tab is scrutinized when it's returned (probably not much)
[Pixel C Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkryder:
10-4. thanks for clarifying.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dagrim1:
This weekend I noticed when aiming towards the sun I get some kind of artefact, as if there is some reflection inside the camera module... Also noticable when pointing towards a lantern post or even lamp (inside darker surroundings). Attached 2 examples...

Also shot a movie where you can see the effect moving around, from bottom center left clockwise... So it doesn't look like a damage to the lens right? Anyone know what this is, if it can be fixed? Guess it's a trip to the shop for me though :/

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] ixon2001:
Well that won't be fixed with any update, it looks like some kind of fault with the anti reflective coating or the glass covering the lens, take it back point out to them what the problem is get it replaced & test again if this is the case with all S7's in direct light then i'll skip this phone & stick with the S6 as mine has no such problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dagrim1:
It actually seems that it also happens on my S6, but less extreme. Also on another site I learned that it is not weird behavior, but also that I'm not the only one... The question is mainly if it's an above average manifestation and whether I can live with it ;)

Attached another example...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Pierre118:
Does somebody know if there is a plastic protection sticker on the camera sensor and the heartrate/flashlight sensor? Samsung told me there is, but I don't see one. Somebody can clear this up :)

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
Yeah. I have this problem too. What to do now? Go for a replacement(since it's within very few days of purchase)?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jairus24:
My unit got replaced due to screen uniformity issue but I still got this effect when pointing in very bright light sources. In the other camera thread, gavinfabl said it's normal, he got it in his unit to.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
How did you explain the screen issue to them? Last time when I went for some similar issue they were silently talking that why the heck I'm seeing it as a big issue. In which day from the date of purchase you got yours replaced?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jairus24:
On the 4th day, I just simply showed them a pure white image so they can see pink tint on the lower part of the screen when the brightness is below 40%. They also extended my 7 days replacement with another 7 days replacement. By the way, I talked with my local telco and not directly to Samsung since I got my unit from my telco.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
Damn that's much better than the condition here. Instead of just extending the 7 days replacement period. Most dealers in Dubai will just tell us to review the new product at the moment we go for replacement and any problem raised after that day will be only considered under warranty. BTW Telco is a carrier?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jairus24:
Yes, telco = carrier. Excuse me for the jargon I used, that's how we alternately call carriers in our country. What I meant in my previous post is "local carrier" hahaha
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
You using S7 or S7E?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jairus24:
I'm using the standard S7 (non-edge)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
If using the Exynos version, how is the CPU temp. under load like gaming and browsing?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jairus24:
Normal, around 40 to 50 degrees Celsius depending on the load, it's somewhat warm but not uncomfortably warm thanks to the heat pipe and the efficiency of the Exynos under high thermal load.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] dbux:
How do you measure it? BTW What is your model number?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Jairus24:
I'm using CPU-z to check the temperature, my model is a Duos variant (SM-G930FD)

Hi,

I have a Fiio K1 portable amp/dac (powered over usb) which worked perfectly on my old Lumia 950 XL and a Nexus 6P of a friend.

But when I tried with my brand new Galaxy S7 Edge, nothing happens. I don't know if it's the cable (amazon.fr/gp/product/B01861XGX2?ref_=pe_386181_37038081_TE_3p_dp_1) or Samsung's Rom.

Has anyone managed to make it work with an external DAC ?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shoremunkey:
I was able connect my Fiio E17. At first the audio sounded distorted and slow, so I closed all of the audio apps and then plugged it in and it started working. I'm using the usb connector that came with the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Nakah95:
The Fiio E17 has an integrated battery from what I know.

The K1 is powered directly by the usb port.

There is maybe some power limitation ? However the blue led is on :confused:

The cable I use is the samsung one bought from samsung brand shop.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] dave7802:
I dont know the equipment you are using.

But if your using it in the USB, then Driver support is required?

Can you confirm the Kernel supports the Native Drivers your device requires?

Normally a Modified kernel is needed to load in some additional drivers.

(I use a 7.1 Surround sound headset, that uses a USB Dongle as a Wireless sender / Receiver)

Natively this is not supported , On my previous device (Note 3) i modified the kernel to load the additional driver set.

Unable to do this on the s7 edge at this time.

I just wanted to add my experience with the Fiio k1 with my S7 Edge. It doesn't work at all after trying 2 different OTG adapters, messing with this dev USB option, and everything else I could think of. Does anyone have the Fiio K1 working with the S7 Edge? I might jsut get the Alpen 2, but before I do I want to see if I can get it working. The little blue light does turn on and all I get for audio is a screeching weird noise.

Had a very good experience with the new Dragonfly Black, connected via an OTG cable. http://www.audioquest.com/dragonfly-series/#features

I an listening mostly to Spotify, using sensitive IEMs (Shure SE846).

You'll need to set the volume key a little higher, but the results are significant compared to the direct audio jack.

UAPP, Neutron, Poweramp sound great as well via the Dragonfly.

E17k and E18 Problems

Wow, I'm having such a hard time using either the FiiO e17k or E18 with my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Verizon SM-G935V) and Spotify as a DAC. Haven't tried and am not interested in using with another app since I listen to all my music through spotify. I've tried messing around with the developer settings and different OTG cables and restarting the phone and DAC. Nothing works.

E17k - is recognized by my phone as an audio path but will not play audio with Spotify.

E18 - phone won't recognize the DAC. Nothing I try works.

Has anyone had success using either of these DACs with a S7E and spotify? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] DroidDogg:
My issue is that PowerAMP it sounds good but Spotify and Pandora are distorted. I have to unplug and replug the usb part into the OTG like 30 times for it to finally not be distorted in the apps. Any idea how to fix this? by distorted I mean slowed and garbled. Dragonfly Black w/ S7 Edge
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] formesyn:
To add, the AQ Dragonfly Black works as well, automatically detected. There is a bug though : with it connected, any system sounds played through the on-phone speaker are very load and massively distorted ( eg notifications, call ringing ) - regardless of the level you've set in the GUI. This is with the UK Exynos variant, with a Snapdragon 810 Z5P no problems once you have done the USB 'detection'
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] richhaynes:
The cable MUST be an On-The-Go USB cable otherwise the S7 will not provide power to the connected device. If your cable isnt OTG then use the adapter that came with your phone. This will turn a standard USB cable in to an OTG USB cable.

If that doesnt work then i would suggest the S7 just does not support your device :/

FYI, USB standards only allow power to travel one way. This is because one device is the host (normally a computer) and the other is the slave (your S7). Then they added the OTG specification which basically flips this on its head. Your S7 can become the host and your audio device the slave. A standard cable will not activate the OTG protocols in your phone and you will have two slaves who cant talk to each other or draw power from each other. Use OTG certified cables or adaptors to get the functionality you need.

[Samsung Gear VR] Dirtdawg57:
I am loving the Gear VR with my new S7. I don't know much about development but I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to develop an app for Gear VR that would allow you to navigate the actual phone on a big screen like a mirror display. Obviously it wouldn't be 360, but you could play emulators and other controller compatible non vr apps on a big screen. We would also have a way to watch Ultraviolet and others who have not supported VR yet. I thought it would be kinda cool if you could reach your documents so if you had notes you had to study in a highly destructive environment, you could just slip into vr world and study there. Would this be possible or too much load on the processer?
