[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CowsMilk1:
iOS jailbreaker here moving to android.

Just got my s6 edge (t-mobile).

im been researching on Bootloader,ROM,Kernel,Firmware,ADB,Root etc and found that i could brick my phone if i don't unlock bootloader before flashing CWM, does this apply if im doing it from odin?

Also another thing i don't understand is how people download ROM on their phone and load to bootloader, backup, wipe the device and install the rom.

what i don't understand is when you wipe the device aren't you wiping the backup as well as the rom you downloaded? or are they saved in a different directory if so what is being wiped here?

So when I am on my s7 edge (edge apps) and i go to tasks edge. I click the settings tab, on bottom left. Then go to that edge panel and click the bottom pencil(edit) Once there it says on top left( once you add shortcuts to homescreen from within apps they will appear here) so how do I do this? I I can't find any way to make these shortcuts? Any help?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] GeorgeP:
One way is with an app called Awesome Icons. You may also want to install the Touchwiz Icon pack if you are using the stock icons. Also, you may may want to try QuickShortcutMaker. These effectively let you add App shortcuts to Task Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] shizumie:
Thanks georgeP,

I figured since it was there and mentioned that Sammy would have had a means of doing it. I will try the above mentioned. Thanks again

I added a couple of things there using Nova launcher but I can't remember how I did it.... Does anyone else have a solution for this? A google search only takes me to this thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] yayin:
Sorry to "me too" spam but I haven't found a way yet, either. The QuickShortcutMaker certainly makes shortcuts but I don't see how to put them to the Tasks Edge.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] m0usju1c3:
Hi I also want to add more shortcuts to the Edge Tasks panel. so BUMP
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] CoolRaoul:
One simply need to add the needed shortcut(s) to any page of the *Touchwizz Laucher*

After that it become available to add in the tasks panel

It works even if you use an alternative launcher: one just need to temporary switch to Samsung launcher to create the shortcut

Oncethe shortcut is added to the panel, you don't even need to keep it on the launcher desktop.

I was making some calculations and noticed that the % key does not work right. Try a simple calculation like 100 - 30% and the calculator returns 99.7 instead of 70. What does yours do? I've got a Verizon S7.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jayochs:
yes because 100 minus 30 percent is 100 minus 0.30...which is 99.7. that's not how you do percent calculations. you have to do 100 times 30 percent, take the answer, and do 100 minus that. I've never once in my life done a percentage calculation the way you're trying lol
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] qwakcookie:
The thing is, with any other calculators, including the one from the S6, S5 and other manufacturers (even Google calculator, iPhone's, Windows), it calculates the % of the value before it, ie. 100 - 5% = 100 - (5% of 100) = 95. I know that mathematically, 100 - 5% = 99.95, but the purpose of the % was to make quick calculations (accounting, taxes, etc).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] se1000:
Maybe related to this? http://www.androidpolice.com/2015/0...led-no-longer-uses-floating-point-arithmetic/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] 96cobra:
Every other calculator I've used has done the 100 - 30% = 70, so that's why I questioned the S7 calculator. Google will give the same (70) answer if you type in the above problem.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jonahtriangle:
Don't you mean 100 (%) -30% = 70%. You were just subtracting 70% from 100( not a hundred percent). Or a 100 what?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mickliq:
BTW there is a new Google Calculator on the Play Store.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] borgez:

[Shield General] imeem:
My relatives lent me their nvidia shield and I got to say. Despite the Shield having lower scores in benchmarks in 3Dmark, antutu, geekbench 3, and slower day to day use compare to my Exynos Note 4. I was surprised that I get better performance with the shield than with my note 4 on PPSSPP (psp emulator). Games that were unplayable, I was able to play at full speed or close to full speed now.

Whats the "secret" to the Shield's gaming performance? Is it less thermal throttling due to the heatsink? or is it due to it's powerful gpu?
[Shield General] -woczarder-:
No CPU throttling, 720p screen can be the case

Anyone have an international S7 on AT&T?

Can you provide feedback? Any issues or limitations? Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] THEGAMEPLAY94:
The international version will work if it has LTE bands 2/4/5/12/30. However AT&T blocks VoLTE or HD Calling on non AT&T branded phones
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] martinezma99:
Can anyone tell the difference on HD calling? I also thought both parties needed to be on AT&T and have HD calling phones for maximum quality.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] THEGAMEPLAY94:
You're right, for now both need to be on AT&T until the carriers set up interoperability between their networks. But I can definitely tell the difference, calls are clearer and crisp.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] King Mustard:
Wrong.

My 'Baseband version' is G935FXXU1APB2.

That is not on that Samsung list - probably because it's not asking for my baseband version...

EDIT: The SamMobile Device Info app on the Play Store found it for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] roybridge:
I don't know exactly where you will find this information, but they are related to the version of software installed by the carrier - for example, the EVR variants are supplied by and locked to EE, the O2x variants are supplied by and locked to O2.

Mine came from the Carphone Warehouse - they tend to ship phones that do NOT have the carriers own software, and to confirm this, mine is the top variant in the list (ABTU). I registered my phone online using my phone, and it somehow auto detected the correct variant.

[One (M7) Themes and Apps] Super_Dork_42:
I'm looking for an app that can get around the built in wifi hotspot capability on the phone because it is tied to Verizon. Without paying more, I can't create a hotspot anymore. I used to be able to get around the carrier hotspot stuff on t-mobile with my HTC One S a couple of years ago. It's there something like that now for the s4m7? Root or not doesn't matter, just had to be free and had to work.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] Super_Dork_42:
I found Open Garden. Not exactly wifi hotspot but it works.
[One (M7) Themes and Apps] CharliesTheMan:
This was the only app I found that worked on my custom roms with kitkat bases. It didn't interfere with the stock stuff and I ran my office laptops internet and network printers on it for several months. I have unlimited data and didn't go crazy with it, but used it daily with no issues from the carrier.

I haven't tried it with lollipop but it had more lollipop support than kitkat when I was using it regularly.

I can test it later on lollipop, I don't have time to set it up at the moment.

Just received update. 610mb. Security and enhancement. I'm stock now so was unable to grab file.

Se​nt fr​om my SM-G870A

Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LoSt180:
Did you already apply the update? There's a procedure to grab the URL for the OTA file, and you don't need to be rooted to do it. A lot of people have been asking for just the stock OTA update files lately, and with no root access on the 5.1.1 updates, the URL method is probably the last way to get those files.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] berniesteven:
My bad. I grabbed the previous update when I was rooted, but didn't grab this one. Thought you had to be rooted.

Se​nt fr​om my SM-G870A

Peace
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] LoSt180:
You do need to be rooted to grab the OTA file after it's been downloaded to your device. However you don't need to be rooted to check the logs for the the update URL when the phone starts downloading the update. It's a little more work (need to plug phone into computer), but doable.

did you do a factory wipe after updating to 6.0 ?? if not maybe that is causing the problem.

So I have a .nb0 file I need to load on my hermes device and the instructions I have say to use the lnbms command to do it. Sadly I have HardSPL installed and lnbms does not seem to be recognized as a command. Does anyone know how to load a .nb0 file if I have HardSPL installed?

Thanks,

LouisK
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] austinsnyc:
Um ya that makes not that much sence. Do you have a ROM.nbh or Radio.nbh? since you need to have a file type that is compatable with the hermes and I dont think the one your talking about is.

I am in the same boat. I have an os.nb0 that was extracted from a hermes. I want to get it onto my device.... lnbms is the command but it's locked in the bootloader. Anyone know how to get around this?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] ultramag69:
so, just checking, you've extracted the nb0 file out of a hermes rom and are trying to put it into a loaded os???? :confused:

Sounds to me like you need to be cooking your own os if you want to do that...

And then reflash time....:p
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] sledwrecker:
I figured it out. The reason that you can not flash a .nb0 with MTTY is the bootloader is locked. Even though the phone may be CID or Super-CID or SSPL or whatever... you MUST have a bootloader that is unlocked and will allow the lnbms command to pass. I have not seen any information yet on this and the hermes. I was able to do this on my htc Wizard though :-) Know that doesn't help but it does atleast tell you why you can't do this action:D
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danial.aw:
Htc One M8... was running marshmallow sense rom with elementalx kernel.

- S-off

- running Bell marshmallow firmware

- Twrp recovery latest one.

Randomly the phone rebooted while I was using it last night and after that got stuck in a bootloop.

Now it seems to boot up but it goes to a screen where it says "please enter password to decrypt phone" ... I don't have a password so then it tells me to factory wipe the phone.

I can get into Hboot fine... the issue I am having is for some reason along with the rom, the recovery has crashed too... I have tried reflashing a new twrp or even the stock recovery but the recovery just will not boot. Regardless of me flashing the stock recovery... when I try to boot into it, it shows that I am booting into twrp (which makes me assume that the recovery isnt really being flashed)

I tried the RUU method but when I do rebootRUU from fastboot it just boots my phone and its stuck back in the bootloop and doesnt go to Black HTC screen :S.

Kind of stuck... I dont have a windows device otherwise I would try the exe method and lost on how to recover the device. Feels like maybe the flash memory crashed... but its so random :(

If anyone can help, would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danial.aw:
so just tried to run a gpe ruu as well... it did the first step of flashing the bootloader and just rebooted to the normal htc bootloader :S

seems like whatever I do nothing is being flashed to any partition... i found the adb command that fixes encryption for aosp roms... but I cannot run adb because I cant boot into recovery :S
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] m52 power!:
Coming from an almost 3 year old Google nexus 5 I was sure I was going to be blown away with the S7. Unfortunately so far i'm experiencing UI LAG all over the place.

Examples:

I can be changing system settings and things will hang and not respond to the first screen touch input.

Multitasking is odd too, sometimes I'll switch back and forth between 2 apps to copy and paste and the app I was just in has to reload, how is that possible with 4GB?

Somehow in both the stock "Internet" browser and chrome, websites with semi rich contact will chug (this one in particular chugs when you scroll past any add).

The camera app is fantastic as far as feature set and quality, but switching between and side swiping into pictures to review them and back is a crippling experience.

I am hoping that Samsung will release an update to address these basic issues, I can't imagine this processor not having enough power to blow through these situations, benchmark and memory speed is off the charts.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] jarayn:
It takes a while to swipe from gallery to camera, slower than just to click camera oddly enough.

It's TouchWiz man, what did you expect? Even if they put 32GB RAM in it the multitasking will be bad, it is software related, not hardware.. I have a Nexus 5x and multitasking is amazing with only 2GB of RAM.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] daffie:
Yup I agree. Came from 5x myself and it blows the S7 out of the water in regards to multitasking.

Already rooted my S7 and now waiting 'patiently' for the first custom roms.

I know from experience with the S6 that a good (clean and debloated) custom rom + kernel + DHA changes makes all the difference.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] JS_racer:
you could try turning off animations in the developer settings
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] daffie:
That's one of the very first things I turn off (no animations) after first boot of phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] m52 power!:
Coming from the Nexus scene I know the wiz is known to be a stumbling joke, and I guess some reviews convinced me they had fixed their act up by now. IMO the multitasking is unacceptable, and since I have the tmobile locked BL version I can only pray that Samsung fixes it in an update.

Another annoying thing I found is if you try touch input right before an animation actually finishes it ignores the touch input, as if it's designed to do that. I'm just used to a much more "fluid" experience than this.

*Just turned animations off and it seems to have solved some issues. Is it possible to block ads (modify hosts file) without root?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] daffie:
What I personally don't get is the very choppy multitasking performance (one tile at a time) on my S7 and definitely not as smooth as in LP (on Samsung S6, Note 5, Note 4).

At the same time I see in the new S7 review from MKBHD that multitasking is supersmooth (as it was before). See for yourself approx 2:50 in :

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1sgeM6DsV40

Several users on Dutch forum have also indicated some have choppy performance, and some have completely smooth scrolling.

All have 'no animations' set within Developers Menu.

How can it be such a huge difference per phone...?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Toss3:
There are definitely some microstutters here and there, but I don't get any hangs or major slowdowns though, nor any app reloads for that matter (did some build.prop editing though). But the first firmware is usually really slow due to Samsung sacrificing performance for stability before the launch, and it is definitely going to improve once we get to the second or third firmware revision (has been this way for every Galaxy-device ever). Eagerly waiting for a custom kernel to enable F2FS as that could improve the stuttering a fair bit.

---------- Post added at 03:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:28 PM ----------

People use different settings and some even allow Google and Samsung to continuously collect data in the background which could explain why some people have horrible battery-life while others don't. Had to set up my friend's S7 Edge from scratch because he was getting somewhere around 2-3 hours of screen on time. So don't agree to anything when setting everything up and you probably won't have any issues.

I'm fairly sure it'll already be using F2FS. I mean, I don't know for sure, but F2FS is Samsung's code.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] daffie:
My remarks are very specifically and exclusively in regards to the weird choppy multitasking when swiping through the app tiles. This used to be buttery smooth...just flick your finger and the apps roll by continuously. Now it's one app/tiles at a time...that's what I mean by choppy.

And the wierd thing is some users have this on their phone, and others don't.

Now that I mention this...I am running 6.0.1. Could it be other users are still on 6.0? That could explain it...

Anyway...like you say...eagerly awaiting custom roms and kernels. Maybe even some specific DHA settings to improve RAM management (it's alreadyy much better than on stock S6, but still could be improved).
