We should have the option.

I don't really need to root today, because I primarily use the phone for business and I don't want to have it down because I change my mind on which ROM to pick every 6 hours.

But I want the option to get rid of the ****, yes, ****, they put on this phone. Why they load junk I can't get rid of is beyond me.

If we can't control the phone, I'll have to jump off the Samsung bandwagon next year...no matter how good they make it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
Is there one for Sprint? This petition does not go to them at all.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] El.Dante565:
So I've had this thought about this locked bootloader problem. I am not sure if this is a viable solution or whether it would even work. I was thinking that our European brethren has an unlocked bootloader. Would there be a way to Odin their bootloader on our devicesor would the fact that they have a different processor be a problem. Because in theory if we had a Samsung sign Odin file of with an unlocked bootloader we should be able to Odin and have a unlocked bootloader, no? Or is there more to it than that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] LeftyGR:
Good question. But no, it would not work. Not even because it's a different processor, which that is part. But say if T Mobile got an unlocked bootloader, it would not work for Sprint. Nor would it necessarily help to know how it happened and use it as a road map to unlock another carrier's bl.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] bruciebabie1963:
not so fast

I would suggest waiting to see if the bootloader is locked down on the lg g5 before ordering. I was not planning to root my s7e, but I must say I was curious to see what this powerhouse was capable of if unleashed from touchwiz,sadly I will never know.:crying:

Root

I have a sneaky suspicion that the Sprint S7 & S7 Edge will end up just like the

ATT Note 5 and S6 Edge/Edge+ phones and will NEVER have root. LOL

I would strongly advice & suggest NOT to get rid of your current rooted phones at least not yet!!!

(unless you buy a different brand which can be rooted)

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Disc] brendan802:
I have the firmware for the Chinese model s7 edge it is the closest match to ours and the firmware will not load in odin. It checks against the model and csc codes so we couldn't even cross flash with t-mobiles firmware. I have the bootloader posted over in t-mobile forums and a few people are poking around to see what can be done. Unfortunately bootloader and hardware hacks are nothing I have ever done before.

I discovered that take the option beside ISO option (to the right) a option with an S (shutter time). Take and move that to 1.0 in very dark areas, and you will be surprised and maybe a bit happy for the rest of that day like i did :)

Edit: You can change the ISO and the shutter time to get even better pictures in night :)

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] postnobil:
How'd you do that?! :cool:
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sTOrM41:
manual mode, long exposure time (8-30s), low iso (50-200).

for the "light writing" you need a light source, in that case i used the backlight of my bicycle.

due to the long long exposure time you cant do those picture "by hand", you will need a solid stand, I used a tripod.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMadScientist:

[HTC Excalibur] JayRayMee.NL:
Leaving all other messages for what they are, I can hereby CONFIRM that the HTC S620 IS SDHC compatible.

I've tried several units, all loaded with the official Windows Mobile 6 ROM upgrade (Two Dutch and three WWE).

The Sandisk 4 and 6 GB cards are working, the memory is visible and the entire volume of the cards is available.

Since the S620's were upgraded with Windows Mobile 6 already, I am not sure if the same thing goes for S620's loaded with Windows Mobile 5.0.

Need to see if 8 GB is supported too, I didn't receive a sample of that card yet.
[HTC Excalibur] travisc:
sweet, i'm gonna get a 4gb then :)
[HTC Excalibur] unknown123456:
NICE! But can you post any pictures to confirm this? I don't want to go all out on couple of 4GB+, since they aren't cheap neither, and then realize you pulled a fast one on me.
[HTC Excalibur] da_mayhem:
Cool!! thanks for the info mate!
[HTC Excalibur] JayRayMee.NL:
I'm sorry, but the S620 samples are back on their way already.

I'm now awaiting a Windows Mobile 5.0 model to see if that works as well.

Trust me, at least up to 6 GB is supported with the HTC Windows Mobile 6 Standard ROM.
[HTC Excalibur] Stephen.Gazard:
Anyone else able to clarify that is does work with 6GB?
[HTC Excalibur] crawldit:
Is this just the HTC Mobile 6 ROM or do you think a T Mobile Mobile 6 ROM will work too? I was getting ready to pick up a couple 2 gig cards for my Dash but if I can go buy a single 4-6 gig card then that would be much more convenient.
[HTC Excalibur] gijsraggers:
6GB cards do not exist. A shame, nice story otherwise.

EDIT:

sorry, they do…
[HTC Excalibur] quiksand:
T-Mobiles WM6 ROM for the Dash doesn't support cards higher than 2GB. Someone tested over at HoFo.
[HTC Excalibur] mofoliar:
yes they do make 6gig but they are sdhc compatible.. check out

http://www.sandisk.com/Products/Catalog(1117)-SanDisk_microSD_andmicroSDHCCards.aspx
[HTC Excalibur] mofoliar:
"sorry didnt see that yes they do edit"..

So a Class 2 SDHC would work huh?
[HTC Excalibur] JayRayMee.NL:
Again, it WORKS with the genuine HTC Windows Mobile 6 ROM for the HTC S620.

I don't know about the compatibility with other branded Excalibur's or ROM's.
[HTC Excalibur] mofoliar:
thanks for the info.. but i was asking about the sd cards, i guess sdhc have different classes? do you remember which class you used? 2,4,6? thanks!
[HTC Excalibur] Stephen.Gazard:
Well I was wandering down Tottenham Court road this morning and couldn't resist it ... so ended up buying a 4GB SDHC Card .... works perfectly in my S620 running Mobile 6

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra112:
I have a dreaded Verizon. For the time being, I really only need to alter the radios to tune for Tmobile frequencies. No one seems to advertise or understand this but since the S4 is fully capable of nearly every frequency world wide, and I get next to no signal when on T mobile, I believe Verizon purposely only turned on frequencies that they use.

So, unless someone else has a slick work around for the time being, I will have to figure out a root procedure for this configuration. I looked at this late last year and seemed to be a big hurdle.

King root seems to be inconsistent. What are my options for this?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
not possible

sorry

the only way it could work is that if you had a i545 running a MDK which lets you run custom kernels

as of now there is no way to flash non-verizon modems to the device

Mobile Networks> Network Mode>

select UTS/GSM is about all you can do

verizon even remove the service menu that shows the available bands
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra112:
Wow, Verizon must have done their homework on locking down phones. That boot loader is hosery. I consider this much like the government forcing them to give the keys, but did not say they had to put air in the tires. Without the ability to run or select alternate frequencies, service is a no-go

I am mostly in desktop computers but curious why these phones are not being wipes and reloaded with a new OS from scratch? Why all the work arounds and hacks? What am I missing? Does Android have all this on lock down?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
its entirely samsung and verizon's doing

S4 Is a terrible device you would be better off with something like a huawei honor or moto g or moto X
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra112:
I am curious about your phone selections. My basic needs are only a high end device with good signal, mic, speaker, display, battery life, and memory capacity. However, I really felt I MUST have a phone with SD card ability but I really don't remove it, I don't take many pictures, and probably don't need that feature.

What I DON'T want is a device that is HUGE. I like the size of the S4. T mobile felt sorry for my phone issues and gave me an LG Leon. I simply hate it.

I should mention that I later intend to consider writing some custom apps for basic wifi and blue tooth functions so I want a playground that affords me some latitude.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
then the honor x5 is what you want its slightly wider then the s4 5.64 5.53 has sd dual sim dual radio and a factory unlockable bootloader

http://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_honor_5x-7590.php

remember huawei is the OEM for google meaning they designed and manufactured the nexus 5x and 6p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra112:
Thank you! I find phone shopping to be rather daunting. I see a lot of developers using the Nexus product but also see a lot of people using Samsung due to all their included gadgets on board.

One thing that may be handy is the IR emitter. Is there a site that compares different products well? I do notice the honor does not get high marks for their display performance.

As well, due to using T mobile, I am unsure on compatibility. I need to know if the boot loader is responsible for toggling certain bands on/off? If I buy an honor for ATT, I assume it will be toggled for ATT frequencies? Since the BL is unlocked, can I toggle other bands to ensure I get the best service possible?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
click the compare button on gsm arena

idk why you said the honor doesn't get high marks 1080p ips is pretty dam good

tho I guess some `review sites`

having a 2 or 4k display on your phone does no good if the gpu can't drive it

it will look real pretty but real world performance will suffer

different phones vs different carriers e.g CDMA phone like the i545 verizon s4 can not be used on GSM carriers such as ATT and Tmobile

read here for more info on that http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2407896,00.asp

a unlocked bootloader grants you the ability to run custom roms and flash certain portions of the phone that are normally inaccessible

the bootloader has nothing todo with radio bands

the honor or any other factory unlocked phone should work on your carrier without issue
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra112:
Thank you! I guess my only real requirement in the display is having one I can actually see outdoors! Amazing how poor the screen is on this old LG leon.

Maybe you can help me better understand how the bands are configured and/or locked on a phone? The reason I ask is the Verizon Galaxy S4 is technically capable of all bands that Tmobile uses yet I see poor functionality with it, indicating tome it is not picking up certain frequencies. I made the assumption the boot loader would be isolating the bands? Is this software controlled? Or not at all? Which would leave me wondering.

For reference, the Verizon S4 DOES work on Tmobile though. It holds 4GLTE signal but texts will not go out because I believe Tmobile is using 2G or 3G for that.

The way I assumed this worked is the phone is capable of a WIDE range of bands and frequencies, but the service provider would invoke only certain frequencies that they use?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
if its holding lte then all you need todo is change the APN to point to t-mobiles servers (store should have offered todo this for you)

t mobile uses slightly differing frequencies depending on your area you are lucky enough to be in one of the area's that use the higher bands

instructions are here https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2090

this will not change the fact that you may or may not get data signal depending on where you are connecting too

I would install textra from the playstore and set it as your mms app it has some over-rides for the apn settings if it won't let you change it via the system UI

alt instructions use the`fast` for lte

http://www.4gtricks.com/2013/04/t-mobile-4g-apn-t-mobile-4g-apn-settings.html
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra112:
Right now the S4 indicated locked to 4GLTE but signal is -90dbm, 50asu. I tested data and I am able to use it though it is slow. I, however, still cannot send an sms. I am able to edit settings for the APN but have verified all settings are per tmobile specs. Any ideas where to go from here?

In the network modes, I am able to chose, 1) global, 2)LTE/CDMA 3) LTE/GSM/UMTS

I have it on LTE/GSM/UMTS right now. IIRC, the GSM is the 2G/3G for sms and voice?

Is it possible that the I545 is trying to operate on the Verizon 750mhz instead of the 700mhz of Tmobile?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Legitsu:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.simplyadvanced.ltediscovery&hl=en\

should tell you what band its connecting on

install textra and go into its options and enable the 't mobile fix'
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra112:
OK, I loaded Textra and LTE recovery. I honestly am not certain of what I am looking at on the LTE app but looks like I am connecting to band 4 LTE. At that time, I could not and still cannot send a text. However, at some point, it switched over to a UMTS connection and I was able to fire off texts normally so I know my APN settings are right and there is something odd going on. Textra did nothing different and there is no setting for tmobile other than a wifi setting.

I have read many other people having this exact problem which hovers around those using a verizon S4 on tmobile and upgrading to 5.0 OS.

What I need to figure out, and maybe an area that would require another thread but I need to learn if I may need to reflash the modem to function properly on tmobile and if that can even be considered on an unrooted, boot loader phone? If not, what are the best options? Just dump the phone and get something else? I read of a few roots on the OC1 platform but not sure on that.

If I knew my efforts would work and I knew what I needed to do to fix this issue, I would. I almost just upgraded to the latest revision hoping for a patch in there but not sure I should do that if I want to root? Is OC1 and above all the same for rooting issues?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sins07:
you don't even have to root to work around this. you can downgrade modem to MDK build. Then use QPST/QXDM to change item 6828 to value 4096
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cobra112:
Sins07, I am very interested in the modem mods you suggest as I also came to the conclusion the modem is the issue.

Would I out of line to ask if you can dumb this down a little for a newbie? You mention downgrading the modem only and was not aware you could do that. Can you explain how this modem issue is occuring and how the modem mods will fix it?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bunklung:
I purchased a Seidio Surface and Tech Armor clear screen protectors. The problem is that the screen protector fits nearly edge to edge. The pressure from the new double insulated surface cases causes the screen protector to bubble/lift/bunch on the edge in certain places.

I used some scissors to trim the screen protector with some success.

Does anyone have a recommendation for a screen protector that fits within the edges of Seidio Surface?

Thanks.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Raydee35:
I purchased the intelliarmor case friendly tempered glass for mine. I have a surface case on the way so I will try these in a couple days and post back.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] aknotts415:
Are you speaking of film protectors right? By the way how do you like the case? Im trying to decide between the seidio surface and the speck. Are the volume buttomes or power buttons hard to press?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] l_stevens:
Must be. Unless he trimmed Tempered Glass with his scissors! :D
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bunklung:
I have always used Seidio surfaces cases specifically because they looked good, slim, and they provided decent protection (offered a holster option).

The problem I have found after about 5 phones (Gnex (2), Moto X 2013 (2), S4 (2), and the N6) is that they actually hurt the phone. When I say hurt, they create these little scuffing marks where ever the case comes in contact with the phone. This comes from fine dust/sand and dirt that gets in between the case and phone. I had good results with my N6 as I would take the case off once a week and clean/blow the case/phone.

My Nexus 6 looks good, but not perfect after about 6 months.

I *think* Seidio is on to this effect as all the new phones have a dual TPU soft shell and hard shell. I am hopeful this fixes this issue.

Regarding the buttons, they are harder to press and not perfect. It is certainly functional and not a big issue to me. You do notice it. It doesn't bother me that much since the phone turns on by the finger sensor anyway. I really never use the power button anymore.
[Nexus 6P Accessories] bunklung:
Anything to report?
[Nexus 6P Accessories] Raydee35:
The Seidio case and IntelliArmor tempered glass screen protector are a near perfect match. There is just a tiny edge between the glass and the case so you don't have to worry about the case pushing on the glass protector. The glass itself is very nice, I purchased some cheaper tempered glass protectors from Ebay and you can really see the difference. They are very clear and even though they do show fingerprints and smudges, they are way less noticeable than the cheaper protectors I bought.
