[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Dulanic:
So one of the first things I did on all my previous phones was block notification for the app which hid the persistent WiFi calling notification. It seems samsung hid this for some stupid reason. Any way to hide it now?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] tiskewlio:
If you set wifi calling to only when there's no network signal, then the icon won't be there till wifi is the only available connection. Doesn't really solve your problem if you want wifi calling all the time but if you have unlimited minutes there's no need for wifi calling when you have full bars.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ingenious247:
The notification annoyed me so much, I simply disabled Wifi calling. Don't need it anyway.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Dulanic:
Ingenious idea for t-mobile lol. Put it there so people turn it off. Though I guess it's more samsung I'm sure.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ingenious247:
Why would T-Mobile want that? They would prefer you use Wifi instead of their network IMO

That allows them to have more customers with less congestion. Plus all plans have unlimited calling/text nowadays
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Dulanic:
Oh I agree, my comment was sarcastic and why I think it's samsungs doing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] ingenious247:
If you're looking for a "reason" for the notification, it's much more simple and not at all devious.

It's to prevent Android from kiling the Wifi Calling function, much like many other apps that have to maintain a notification to keep the app in memory.

Hello, so I found a thread from back in december on this topic and I have not been able to resolve it using any

methods recommended in that thread, which is located here: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/help/...s-make-calls-data-t3270877/page3#post66004179

So I'm hoping by showing some comments I left their recently, on a new thread with the MHC19I build, that someone will be able to point me in the right direction.

I'm pretty noobish when it comes to jargon and perhaps "technical" procedures to get my phone back in working order, so a detailed list and step-by-step guide is always the best for me. Thanks a TON for looking into it!

which efs file?

I have efs1.emmc.win and efs1.emmc.win.md5

Exact same with efs2.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:20 PM ----------

As for me: Yes I get an IMEI when I go look in settings. I have an EFS backup but I don't really know which one to use?

I have efs1 and efs2 both as an md5 and another version?

I don't know which one to use.

I tried the field test mode and I do see that "GSM Service: Emergency Calls Only" and I tried switching to all bands available to me... but I dont have band 6 as an option.

If you could link me to a way to literally do a factory reset and how I can lock the bootloader and go back and start over from stock I would gladly try.

Thanks for any help, this problem has vexed me for a week now.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwiggieSmalls:
So I was able to fix my problem only by restoring my 6.0 MDB08L backup and my EFS backup of the same build.

I see that my phone is still rooted and I have an OTA update available...

Advice?

I really love flashing ROMs, Kernels, and other things to get the most out of my device, I just don't know what would happen if I took the OTA update; or what steps I need to take from here to get back up to where the current builds are in March for ROMs (6.0.1)

My TWRP is still 3.0.0-1 as well (I have not verified if this is still working post restore) so I'm wondering if I need to fastboot an older recovery?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

If you haven't flashed the latest radio yet you can start by downloading it from Heisenberg's thread. Here is the link: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24457741883933255 He also has an excellent guide that will tell you everything you need to know to get you to the latest version. You can find it here: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928. You can download the newest vender image and flash in TWRP from the Pure Nexus thread or from herehttps://mega.nz/#!Rxh10IKT!j16HfnDor_RLt97qm8yorEB1AgKH2ezEG5zg_kKRxgY. I'm on Verizon also and the same issues as you with not being able to make or receive calls. Flashing the chroma ROM fixed it for me.
[Hardware Hacking General] MonroeLake:
Telnet is great but I wanted a more secure connection to the phone so I set up an Android cross-compiler and compiled the latest version of dropbear (dropbear-2016.73). I don't have a 64-bit computer so in order to use the latest version of the Android toolchain, I had to boot into Windows and install Cygwin.

Thanks to serasihay for patches to an earlier version of dropbear. I adapted them to work with the latest version of dropbear. The patch can be found by searching dropbear-2016.73-android-20160427.patch on pastebin. Most of the warnings generated during compile were from pre-patched dropbear code and can be viewed on pastebin by searching for "Compile warnings for compiling dropbear-2016.73.android"

After setting up the toolchain, dropbear can be compiled with the following commands:

tar jxf dropbear-2016.73.tar.bz2
cd dropbear-2016.73
patch -p1 < /path/to/patch/dropbear-2016.73-android-20160426.patch
./configure --build=x86-windows --host=arm-linux-androideabi --disable-zlib --disable-largefile --disable-loginfunc --disable-shadow --disable-utmp --disable-utmpx --disable-wtmp --disable-wtmpx --disable-pututline --disable-pututxline --disable-lastlog
make MULTI=1 SCPPROGRESS=1 PROGRAMS="dropbear dropbearkey scp dbclient"
arm-linux-androideabi-strip.exe dropbearmulti

This generates a single binary file, dropbearmulti which you will want to copy to the phone to /system/xbin/dropbearmulti. Next, you will want to create symbolic links like this:

cd /system/xbin
ln -s dropbearmulti dbclient
ln -s dropbearmulti dropbear
ln -s dropbearmulti dropbearkey
ln -s dropbearmulti scp

I should probably redo the patch to enable the -R option to create the host keys but for now you can do it with:

mkdir /etc/dropbear
dropbearkey -t dss -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_dss_host_key
dropbearkey -t ecdsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_ecdsa_host_key
dropbearkey -t rsa -f /etc/dropbear/dropbear_rsa_host_key

To start dropbear every time the phone boots, I put my startup command in /system/etc/install-recovery.sh since it is called by init.rc. I would have put it straight in init.rc but init.rc is recreated from boot.img every boot and I didn't feel like getting into changing boot.img yet. Just make sure to make install-recovery.sh executable. The following line is what I use to start dropbear:

dropbear -A -N root -R /data/.ssh/authorized_keys -U 0 -G 0

Next you will need to copy your public key(s) into /data/.ssh/authorized_keys. You should now be able to ssh to your Clarity Ensemble phone. You can also use scp to copy files to and from the phone. If you use Putty pscp to transfer files, make sure to use the -scp option to force SCP protocol. If not, you will get the error "/usr/libexec/sftp-server: not found" since pscp tries to use sftp which is not installed on the phone.

So today I switched over to the Galaxy Forever plan with sprint and will be receiving the S7 Edge in the next few days. My Note 4 was by far one of my favorite phones thanks to the amazing people in this section. ESPECIALLY [MENTION=1503720]tx_dbs_tx[/MENTION]!!!!! You my friend are one of the most amazing developers this site has. The Note 4 section is extremely lucky to have you. I hope to see you in the S7 Edge section one day soon because your work is some of the best. I will be keeping my Note 4 as I do own it. So if any devs need testing done feel free to PM me. I'm willing to test anything once I have my new S7. But I just want to say thank you to all the people who helped make the Note 4 an amazing phone. You guys are the real MVPs :)

I've recently noticed that when sending pictures/screenshots, the quality goes down.

Before when I sent screenshots, they would take up the whole message bubble. When tapped on it would bring the image up in great quality.

Now the image is downsized and when tapped it comes up a little pixelated.

At first I thought it was an issue with me being at my data limit and being throttled. However, it's a new cycle and I'm still noticing the issue. I don't believe I've changed any settings that would affect this but maybe there's something I did but didn't mean to.

Phoned samsung this morning they said it was the battery...oh dear me...they would replace it for me, i would have to be without a phone for a few days...that was their answer....the phone is 2 months old with light usage, had iphones in the past, not one problem, since android, im now paranoid in making a call and sending a text incase the battery dies...you shouldn't have to disable features on a phone that was made for that phone, there is clearly a fault in the software, so im asking the super experts here if they can actually pin point the problem thanks, its happening a lot, so there clearly must be a bug in the system software somewhere...and its not my apps, only got half a dozen installed, and i ve reset, cache cleaned, reinstalled one app a time, tried it with no apps installed, always the same...android os or android system between 12% to 87%...thanks to anyone that helps

I'm having the same issue. Last week before the 6.0.1 update I rooted my S6E+ and it started going into a boot loop. So I put stock rom back on again and left it. But the battery is terrible since. I thought the update to 6.0.1 would help but it's the same. At night (10pm) I'd put into airplane mode at 100% and by morning (7am) it would still be 97%. Now in the morning it's 43%! It's losing 57% overnight in airplane mode.

By placing the root, leaving the stock firmware the device does not go into deep sleep and then consumes the battery.

You must flash a kernel for MM
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneTruth:
Battery drain is caused by a lot of factors. The truth is that there are a lot of apps/services on your phone that you don't actually need/use. Google for example tracks location, syncs your account, backup, etc. All these services are running in the background and eat up juice. Android is different than iOS, so you need to disable some apps/services that you don't need to prevent them from running. There's also a lot of apps that have the "wake up phone" permission enabled or "keep phone awake", that even though your screen is off, will sync and do stuff. There used to be a method in Lollipop to prevent an app/service from waking up your phone, but I can't find it in Marshmallow (yet).

I'd recommend to root your phone, install TitaniumBackup/Package Disabler/etc. and freeze all apps/services you don't need. Search for "debloat" and you'll find loads of lists that you don't actually need and can disable.

After i saw that 7.0 was on the way for the s6 and s6 edge i unrootet so the phone was ready to get it OTA.

But after this it´s using around 40-50% over night

First time i unrootet i used Samsung Smart Switch to get back to stock.

I then rootet and aplied a Deep Sleep fix wich help

But now i want to sell the phone and would like to sell it stock and from i can see it looks like the problem is still there.

This time i flashed the phone via odin and with this file G928FXXS3BQB1_G928FNEE3BPI1_G928FXXU3BQA5_HOME.tar.md5 from sammobile.

Don't get any phone with small battery. Like 2K resolution with 3000mAh is a bad idea. Galaxy s6 edge+ Plus should have 4000mAh battery instead.

Get Galaxy A5 2017 full HD screen but you get a better battery life.

I just purchased an At&t 8525 and it's unlocked. You will find my specs in my signature. My battery life is just horrible and i'm wanting to find out if there's anything i can do to increase it. Bottom line is my battery doesn't last more than 4-5hours in standby mode. I turned off the 3g so that it is now using Edge, however, i still get the roaming symbol. I am not sure if the roaming symbol is causing the battery to drain. Everything is turned off and the only thing on is the phone.

Can someone please tell me what the expected standby time is? Maybe some of you can post how long your battery lasts and the configuration you guys are using. I initially had radio 1.16 then switched to 1.41 and 1.43. I'm now on 1.40, but still no change in battery life. I'm located in Vancouver, BC and using Fido, if that makes any difference.

Is there a way to backup & restore Nexus Imprint data on the same device?

I've read couple of threads saying that you can't restore it on another phone, which makes sense security wise, but what about restoring on the same phone?

For example, I installed Android N beta and then later downgraded to Marshmallow. Since downgrading wipes the phone, I had to setup fingerprints again. Since two different persons are set up on my phone, I don't want to keep asking the other person to record their fingerprints every couple of weeks when I want to upgrade to N again.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Heisenberg:
No there's no way. In fact, if you fail to disable all lockscreen security prior to making a backup with TWRP you won't be able to unlock the device after restoring that backup.

Hey guys, new to the site. I'm looking for a way to flash TWRP to my MXq Pro box, it has the new S905 processor. I never know how I should search for the box though...

I have found files for TWRP booting for the MXq box, but not the pro.

Basically looking for two different things, a spot for information on this box and all development being done for it, and also if/how I would go about getting a custom recovery installed for cloning purposes. Thanks.
