Put in your model number (SM-G935F or whatever you have) and enter your serial number with the phone unplugged. When it asks you to connect to PC via cable you do (in download mode)

[Huawei Ascend P6, Mate] mdr1000ton:
Hi.

I have found this in a latin community.

club.huawei.com/thread-6254226-1-1.html

Is a Rom for Ascend P6S (P6 dual sim). I ask if some developer can port this rom to the P6-U06.

The hardware is almost the same, excluding the dual sim (the 2nd sim slot is for sd card too), and the processor i think is the same but optimized (k3v2 pro quad 1.6Ghz).

I think it is important to most people who have a P6 and want this since a long time ago.

If somebody could help, i appreciate it.

PS: Sorry for my English, I'm from Uruguay.

So i noticed a severe decline in the music quality after i switched from my Z3 compact. Using Poweramp with all the EQ's disabled/flat (and all the samsung eq's off), i get constant minor treble crackling. Full volume and even half volume on the phone. It's really annoying. I have certain songs on my computer and Z3 that i've played so much that i know exactly how they should sound, and the S7 just makes it sound like ****. Has anybody else had this issue?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Kranny:
after tuning off the bluetooth to my pebble and rebooting the phone, the sound came out fine through my ford sync stereo. i might as well use an aux cable to remedy this $700 phone's issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] palmboy5:
FWIW, there are two less intense ways to "refresh" the bluetooth audio connection:

1) Toggle the phone's bluetooth off and on.

2) (New to Marshmallow touchwiz) Bring down the notifications and you'll see "Audio path" on the right. Switch it and switch it back to the bluetooth output.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] matrix311:
Thanks for the info everyone. I just upgraded from the s5 to the s7 and noticed a significant degrade in blue tooth audio streaming with my Ford sync system. Really upset me so a little Google search and discover.my moto 360 watch is the culprit. After I disconnect it my sound quality goes back to normal. Certainly a pain but at least it's resolved.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] kparadizov:
I have 2016 Lexus ES350 and I have recently started using Garmin Vivoactive HR+ fitness tracker that is connected via Bluetooth to my Samsung Galaxy S7. The bluetooth streaming quality dropped significantly. All music sounds flat even when the music player (Amazon Music) is set to highest quality. In rock music I barely hear hihats. High frequencies are distorted.

Are we supposed to go back to the auxiliary audio input jack again? What's up with this?

Hi the same here, i had a HTC onex/onex+ and the last a LG G3 , the audio was fine when streaming mp3's from my phone, now with my brand new Galaxy S7,

there's so much distorsion that it's not earable, my car is Lexus CT200h(no navigation screen panasonic audio) , worse with waze or google maps i cant anymore ear vocal instructions for navigation except when streaming audio or during a phone call , not anymore when listening a cd in the carplayer as it used to be with all previous 3 phones

ps: i think there should be a "bluetooth" section in the real life thread , i dont know who is in charge of that sections,

i will put 1 star to bluetooth and audio listening and 1 star for audio when recording videos in Gigs i wouldnt buy the S7 if i knew that before

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slartibartfast_:
When I got my phone I chose to decrypt it, mostly because I was afraid of TWRP not being able to read the encrypted partition (at the time) and fears of bad performance (which plagued the N6 when it came out).

Every time I update my phone I have to wait until a noencrypt boot partition for my version is released and it makes the whole process clunkier.

I was wondering how many people still have their phone decrypted. Are there any downsides to encrypting my phone now? I've also seen some talks about kernels that support decrypted phones - I thought this was something that was decided at the boot partition level? What does the kernel have to do with it?

Thanks in advance for any information that will help me decide how to move forward.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] funnel71:
I would say it all depends on the user. If you use your phone for sensitive material such as work-related Communications or financial transactions, it might be a good idea to do so. If on the other hand, you use your phone to Simply play games and communicate on social media, it may not matter so much depending on what type of information you have on your phone

Just speaking for myself, my phone is encrypted, and I have no problem reading it with TWRP. I can apply over-the-air patches without a problem granted I take steps to return to. Full stock beforehand
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
Having the phone decrypted doesn't really give any benefit, on paper there's a performance gain but in real world usage it isn't noticeable. Just encrypt it and then you don't have to worry about all this mess.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slartibartfast_:
Thank you both for your replies!

What will I see different if I allow it to encrypt my data now? Basically to my understanding if I update to the latest version, if I overwrite the boot image and the kernel, it will encrypt my data the first time I boot into Android, right? Will I then have to enter my Google password every time I boot the phone? or my phone unlock PIN?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
You can encrypt your data at any time. It will encrypt on the first boot after removing the kernel that doesn't force encryption. You only need to enter a pin/pattern if you choose to have lockscreen security, you can choose not to have any lockscreen security at all.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kingmikel:
Honestly I would say do it. I always had it un-encrypted and it was just a pain in the arse waiting for someone to post a boot.img that doesn't force encryption or flashing a custom kernel to keep it without encryption. With this there is no worrying before updates, I have not noticed any changes in performance, and if you do want to use a custom kernel they all work great with it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 2ndAmendNut:
Yes, and yes!
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3's&7's:
My 6P arrived yesterday and I was pondering this same question. I have read a number of resources that show slower read/write speeds with encryption in play; however I use this phone for work and a backup to our kids' tablets dying (car rides, rainy day, etc. lol).

I was about to ask you @Heisenberg about decryption in your How-To thread in the General forum as I was confused on how to do this now? I recall from Nexus 6 days it was always a custom boot.img and you were decrypted...our instructions read more like TWRP (after a certain version) drives this process now instead?

Regardless, I am debating whether to bother with decryption at this point since it will be used for work.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
TWRP isn't involved in the process of decryption, it was that TWRP wasn't able to decrypt so deception was necessary to use TWRP. To decrypt you need a kernel that doesn't force encryption, and to issue the "fastboot format userdata" fastboot command. This will erase your data so back it up first.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3's&7's:
[MENTION=4153349]Heisenberg[/MENTION] ...lol, I honestly thought deception was a typo for decryption! :confused::p

How dare I question the typing capability of the keeper of knowledge for the Nexus community! Did some more research and get "Deception" now (how often do you read those words in a sentence together in life as an adult?!).

Thank you as always you are always a benefit to the community! Ill go hunting for a kernel and test both security modes for fun (its a Nexus, right?!)...probably wont bother long term as I have a few exchange accounts, shared files, etc. on my devices.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shurman292:
Hello all,

I installed the CloudyG2 3.3 rom on my VS980 with the dorimanx kernal as instructed here . Every thing has been incredibly stable so far other than a few minor quirks. Mostly the battery life has been phenomenal, with consistently >48 hours of life.

Yesterday I played Pandora at work for ~5-6 hours, airplane mode on, WIFI (good signal) and bluetooth were on. The battery was at 29% when I looked at my phone before I left work. What gives?? Streaming music never drained my battery that much.

I thought it might be a setting in the dorimanx kernal, so I turned off the "sound high performance mode" which uses more battery when playing back FLAC or other lossless files. No difference.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Accessories] Corwinder:
Ok, I finally got the Choetech T513 charging pad. I was given a 40% off code if I'd do a review. All in all it's a good charging pad. I didn't want a round charging pad because I don't like how the phone hangs off the edges so when I put a back on my S5 to charge it wirelessly I bought first the pad Samsung made marketed for the S5. That little round thing I hated. I then saw the one that was marketed for the S4. This is what I settled for http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F358AVI?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 The biggest problem I had was if you didn't have the phone centered just right the phone would repeatedly keep notifying that it was charging. Wife got upset more then one night. The Choetech is a lifesaver with 3 coils in it so you don't have to center the phone so much. My biggest complaint: it doesn't come with a wall adapter. I was told the adapter for the S7 won't work so I ordered a Quick Charge 2.0 wall charger to charge the pad.

Now for the charging times. I tested With the Choetech in fast charge mode. I tested with the S7 wired charger and I pulled out a 2.1a Samsung charger. I'm a little surprised by the numbers reported but I'm just gonna report what the phone told me. At 34% the S7 wired fast charger would take 59 minutes to fully charge. The 2.1a charger would take 1 hour and 9 minutes. The Choetech charger came in at 1 hour 23 minutes. Not that I was worried about the charging times. I wanted the charging pad for my phone at night. This is when I learned the Galaxy S7 apparently has some kind of a fan in it. When I put the phone on the pad I noticed. With no other noises I could hear a very quiet fan. I thought it was the charger. I tested my wifes phone and same result so I emailed Choetech about it and I quickly got a responce. I wish other companies responded that quickly. She explained Samsung is aware of the fan noise and if I turned off Fast Charging I wouldn't hear it. She then attached a pic of the setting in the S7 battery area that shows where to turn off fast wireless charging. The phone even mentioned I'd hear the fan noise in fast charging mode. All in all I'm quite happy with this charger. Yes it doesn't come with a wall adapter but there are other fast charging pads that do that are much more in price.

[General Questions and Answers] mpowend:
Hi

I have a elephone G9. this phone came in a strange situation.

the "su" script which should be in "/system/xbin" to let superuser work is in "/custom/xbin".

I tried to move it with adb but I couldn't find any way to mount system folder as RW without root.

any attempt to remount it like "adb remount" ends in something like permission denied.

If there is any way to mount system as rw in adb without already having root or any other way to do the job, please answer me.

Thank you.
[General Questions and Answers] mpowend:
To anyone who has the same problem (probably with another elephone) the su script in /custom/xbin is executable by adb shell. so execute it and then do other stuff needed to root.

if needed further instructions feel free to ask.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] skiddingus:
It appears that the S7 has the same problem that my S6 had. The bluetooth just being enabled kills the battery. I have a seperate work phone so my personal S7 spends all day collecting dust on my desk while I am working. I noticed the battery seemed to be dropping rapidly even when I am not using the phone. I did an experiment today. I was at 100% battery and I did not touch my phone for 4 hours with the bluetooth enabled. The battery fell 13%. I then disabled bluetooth and didn't touch the phone for 4 more hours. This time the battery only fell 3%! My S6's bluetooth did the same thing. The S6 did not have this issue when it was new but started eating battery after an update about 6 months ago. My wife's S6 has the same issue. Is anyone else seeing your battery drop quickly with bluetooth enabled?

The change in discharge rate is very apparent in the chart:

I'm new to Samsung, so I'm not familiar with their menus. So this may be a simple answer.

When I hold the volume down button and the fingerprint scanner button and the power button, all at the same time. After about 45 seconds I get a menu with the option to install a custom Rom or not.

What can I do from here? Obviously download a rom. But from where and how does it install? What else can I install besides a rom?

Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] El.Dante565:
That my friend is download mode also called Odin mode due to the use of the Odin app you need to use to install system image files. Once you have you phone connected to your computer you need to open the Odin on it. Then you can install recoveries and factory firmwares. Usually custom roms are flashed from the recovery usually a custom one i.e. TWRP or Clockwork Mod. Although before all that can happen you would need root the device first which would probably trip knox. That will break Samsung Pay and is unreversible. At this point I don't know if there a root method for this device yet. There is talk about that bootloader being locked which a problem. I hope this answers your question.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] nickmus:
Okay. That's like the HTC feature. But the menu just looks different. We used to be able to flash ROMs in img format by placing them on the SD card and booting like that. It would search the SD card before boot. If it found an img file it would try and install it.

Thanks I thought it might be something different.
