[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Jeff203:
Reflash the OS at Samsung Booth at Best Buy to solve battery issues

I've got a standard (non-edge) S7 on Verizon (SM-G930V). I came here looking to fix the horrible battery life issues on the phone. It looks like the OTA update is the big offender here.

For me, taking the phone to the Samsung booth at Best Buy and having them reflash the system files solved the problem. I went from over 3.1%/hr standby drain to 0.31%/hr after the flash. The Held Awake time dropped dramatically as shown in the GSam Battery Monitor Screen shots... that I can't include until I've made 10 posts apparently {sigh}.

Why would this solve the problem? I don't know. There is a pissing contest between Samsung and Verizon pointing the finger at each other. Samsung employees consistently hand out inconsistent (and technically improbable) stories about why Verizon OTA updates corrupt the phone. Verizon employees more cogently state that Samsung is distributing different Build Numbers in their updates and you don't know what your getting or if it's any good until you've gotten it. Still a bit sketchy, but makes a little more sense than Samsung's BS story.

This may not be helpful to Edge users, but my non-Edge G7 is now updated directly by Samsung with Build Number MMB29M.G930VVRU2APB5, Kernel Version 3.18.20. I'd show the screen shot with all the details, but again, I am in sandbox mode until I post more here. The bottom line is this Build Number has fantastic standby battery life. I have not had the chance to really analyze the SOT or Talk Time yet, but they seem to be a bit better, too.

Perhaps people would like to share their build number and battery life here to see if there is any correlation?

Going to try this. Sooo, by you are now getting updates directly from Samsung, you mean no Verizon at all? For future updates? (Wishful thinking?)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raolleel:
Hello,

I noticed that many people want to get recovery working on Marshmallow-Beta. Most people don't want to loose there data, settings ....

So I thought about writing a little Tutorial.

We need:

boot.img with included Recovery

TWRP for unlocked Bootloader

FTF of the .264-firmware (you can download it via XperiaFirm (keep in mind selecting your Phone (e.g. D6503))

[URL="http://www.flashtool.net/downloads.php"]flashtool and it's latest update

A few GB space on your SD-Card

MM-Beta-Zip

Installed Drivers

Time ;)
​

[/URL]

The first thing we need to do is to backup our Data, but How to do this without Recovery, TitaniumBackup isn't a good solution.

So .. one way would be to flash a boot.img, so we can boot a recovery, which is included into that file

Step1: Shutdown your Phone (you should have at least 50% battery for a safe flash)

Step2: Connect your Phone to your Computer, while pressing the Volume UP Button (if you have a blue light you're now in fastboot-mode)

Step3: flash the boot.img (fastboot flash boot stock-17.1.1.A.0.402-sirius-repack.img via cmd) NOW YOUR PHONE CAN NOT BOOT TO MARSHMALLOW ANYMORE​

Step4: Connect Phone to PC and backup your Data From internalSD

Enter recovery and make a backup

Step1: reboot your phone (fastboot reboot), then press the vol down Button repeatedly, until you enter the recovery.

Step2: make a backup and select everything, but boot IMPORTANT !​

Flashing new bootloader

Step1: shutdown your phone completely

Step2: start flashtool and select the thunder symbole + flashmode

Step3: select your downloaded FTF and select wipe Userdata+Apps-Logs

Step4: plug in your phone with vol+ pressed, so that you're in flashmode

Step5: flash firmware​

Flashing TWRP

Step1: Shutdown your Phone

Step2: Boot into Fastboot

Step3 Flash TWRP for unlocked bootloader : fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
​

Restoring MM

Step1: Shutdown your phone

Step2: Boot into Recovery (hold Power and VolDown, release Power when phone vibrates)

Step3: flash MM-Zip

Step4: restore your Backup

Step5: restore Internal-SD-Backup-files to InternalSD
​

Done ;)
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] edzilla:
OK, thanks
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hw0603:
So you mean we're going to use TWPR's backup function. But does TWRP Backup restore internal sd's general files(photos, songs....etc)?

Flashing ftf with wipe userdata option will wipe EVERYTHING on my internal-sd, including photos and songs. So It's no use if twrp cannot restore them :(

Or do you write this guide only for people who only want to keep their appdata and settings(/data/data, /data/app)?

Also, you mentioned about NEW Bootloader of .264 firmware. Many ppl told me that I should update to new BL to install recovery in MM.

Does the NEW BL has seperated partitions for each recovery and boot(kernel)?
[Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raolleel:
You're right .. I didn't noticed that internalSD is wiped, too. But you can back up it via PC in Recovery or in Android

[MENTION=280052]backup[/MENTION]function ... No Recovery has the option to backup InternalSD (because the developers think its useless)

Yes exactly there is a seperate recovery partition

Hi everyone, we have a problem here with the HTC One M7, when Android updates through official channels via HTC Sync it suddenly blew up the error and the phone rebooted, now when you turn starts exclamation end, I tried through the Volume Down + Power get into recovery it managed but when I pick fasboot and connect to the pC and nothing happens or Windows does not report that there was something connected. Charger reacts and charging. Does anyone know what can I really do not know already hints. :( :crying:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Are you sure your usb cable is a data cable? Try another usb port and another cable. When the cable is connected to your computer and the phone booted in bootlaoder mode, can you see "fastboot usb" in red or does it says "fastboot" or "fastboot AC"?

What was the update number and please post the output of "fastboot getvar all" (remove your imei and serialno)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digilukas:
Yes USB data cable I tried it with another mobile phone and it works, it was an update to Android 5.1 bootloader after the connection has not written anything either usb or ac. Sorry for my English.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Your phone isn't in fastboot mode, press power when "fastboot is highlighted then look if you see "fastboot usb" or "fastboot AC"

Like in this picture:
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digilukas:
I did so, as you said, I have a PC HTC driver installed but it's still just writes fastboot, I tried to connect the HTC One V and at the fastboot usb works.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
Well that means both your computer and your cable are OK so probably the usb port on the phone is broken. You'll have to disassemble the phone to replace it...
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digilukas:
Do you think that might be faulty usb? The phone is because when connected to a charger normal recharging.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alray:
The charger only use 2 of the 5 pins present in a usb port #1 (+5V) and #5 (Ground)

In order to have a working data connection you also need pins #2 and #3 (data- and data+)

So its possible to have a defective usb port and the phone still charging. That might be something else but the usb port is the cheapest part to replace so I would try to replace this part first.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] digilukas:
OK, well I change ie USB port, and then we'll see if it will work.

Thank you so much for your advice.

Hi guys. I need to know how to lock BL let you can't recognise it. Can you please hele me? I have D2403
[Sony Xperia M2] Grajatyadav:
If u relocking you bl then what is the point of unlocking of bootloader...

If u want unlock then u can unlock it by androcyda flashtool for xperia...

If u have your drm keys.. Backup then it ok.. U can restore them and get fully stock device if not.. Relocking will not do anything like that.
[Sony Xperia M2] aidy.lucas:
As far as I'm aware either re-lock via flashtool or by restoring the drm/ta keys which re-locks it. Unless you have the drm/ta keys pointless re-locking it to be honest as without the ta keys updates still won't work anyway not that we'll be getting Anymore updates should be a simple process either way though..

[Galaxy Note 4 General] SunnyGrewal11:
hello .. i have note 4 from last 6 months n its fab fone ... but now i wanted to get note 5 but when i checked its sar value its very high as compared to note 4 ... like i heard the max permitted value is 1.5 and note 5 has 1.53 ....

so is it a gud buy or not ??

really concerned about this :/ or the sar value doesnt do anything ??
[Galaxy Note 4 General] galaxynote2:
I don't know what the heck is that. But if it's related to radiation: I've a Note 5 here and it didn't brought me any kind of cancer or mental disorder :fingers-crossed:

You should be concerned about the missing MicroSD card on the 32gb version rather than a radiation value. It might be high as you said, but it's still in the safety range. Remember that chinese knock-offs are way more off of the permitted value. The Note 5 is not harmful by any way.

[Galaxy Note 4 General] SunnyGrewal11:
i agree with that .. coz these things dont affect instantly .. n moreover we keep fones in front pocket :/ so may b more dangerous ....

i never paid attention to this sar value but then a frnd of mine hammered this into my mind that its not gud at all .. n now i always check this for any new fone i think to buy ....

seen in some video that USA has the permitted value of 1.5 n they ban fones above that :/

n yea the sd card is really a big prob i think coz now i got 64gbcard and m satisfied but alone 32 is very less :/ ... thanks for this advice :) ... should consider some other option for upgrade ..
[Galaxy Note 4 General] tiwag:
I've done a comparison between Note4 and Note5

http://www.phonearena.com/phones/co...Note-4,Samsung-Galaxy-Note-5/phones/8577,9462

and I think the Note 5 isn't much worse than its predecessor, when you use it to phone someone.

the higher simultaneous transmission sar value comes from the higher lte cat 9 specification, which allows 450/50 Mbps connections compared to 150/50 Mbps of Note4.

when your phone uses the max lte power you aren't holding it to your ear, or should I say don't hold to your ear then.

If this is a kind of a joke, well better take a screenshot of this conversation, print and put it in a frame, maybe after 20 years you will start regreting why you think expandable storage is more important than SAR rating :)

[Galaxy Note 4 General] galaxynote2:
I think you guys misunderstood (or I didn't explained it well) my reply. First of all, I wasn't making jokes about cancer, mostly because almost half of my family had it in different ways. Second: I've been using cellphones since 1993. If I have any problem in 20 years, I'm pretty sure that's not because my Note 5 but of all my devices since the first one and those I will have in the future when my present device gets outdated. That being said, probably 90% of the people who's reading this post will have radiation-derived problems due to all the cellphones they had in their lifes and not because their Note 5's SAR values are 5% higher than their predecessor.

That's why I said you should worry about the lack of expandable storage or the poor battery life that the Marshmallow update has. Because worrying about the Note 5 SAR value is a waste of time if you think about all the phones you had in the past and all those you will have in the future.

So right now, this is the only way to survive:

I hope you guys understand. Cheers!

[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CreiX:
Hello there.

I am using the X since a few weeks. It is a damm nice phone. perfect size, brilliant display and the rest of the specs is cool too.

But:

I can connect it with my car. I can get calls in the car using the audio + mic from the car. But I cant use the phonebook. And so I cant see who is calling or even use the carphonebook for dialing a number or use favs.

BT itself is working: I already transfered e.g. contacts via BT from my old phone. The UP MOVE is synching.

I also tried it on an BMW F20 - same problems.

In other forums ( e.g. oneplus ) I found some other persons with the same problem. They "solved" it by buying an app calles "Bluetooth Phonebook". It seems that the app will add/replace/change some BT Profiles.... It seems that there is an profile missing: PBA, PBAP	Phonebook Access Profile.

If this is so, it will mean that OnePlus is not finished with the Oxygen 2.2.0.

The offical support can´t answer this question to me :(

Questions:

Can someone tell me how to check if this profile is on my phone?

If not present - how can I add it by myself?

Any other helpfull ideas?
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] silverblack:
Bluetooth Phonebook app is the easiest option.

Or i believe BT works with cyanogenmod

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-x/orig-development/rom-cyanogenmod-13-x-oneplus-x-onyx-t3279784

I would not rely on Oneplus to fix it as the problem still exists in the Oneplus 2 and thats been out even longer than the Oneplus X.
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick Adams:
Workaround

I also have the exact same issue with my 2015 BMW. BT connection for calls work stable but contacts are only synced partially. My solution was to again and again delete and re-connect my OPX until in one instance all contacts were available in the cars phonebook. I then stored all important contacts into the cars phonebook so that they are always present independently from the connected phone. Not ideal but a workaround.

The issue for the OP2 was solved with the latest OTA update. So hopes are that OPX will receive the same fix...
[OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saintshakajin:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlo2008:
Hello there! A friend of mine gave me her Galaxy S4 mini GT-9195 LaFleur (pink one). She was going to throw it away as she dropped it in half a glass of water. Apparently, some water got into the bottom of the phone and got the Home button stuck. As a result, the phone permanently gets the hardware Home key signal and is almost entirely unuseable. I managed to get past the PIN-code screen by entering the PIN while manually holding the Home button, but that's about it.

I also managed to root it with the intention to install CM which features disabling the hardware keys and using on-screen keys, but I wouldn't be able to get to the menu to disable the keys. I've also found other methods, but they involve editing files on the phone itself, which is impossible because of the Home key being pressed about 3x per second.

So my question is: is there a file I could flash to resolve this issue and disable the home button or disable all hardware keys? Or is there maybe a rom written with these keys being disabled by default, and on-screen keys?

Any other help or suggestions are of course also very welcome!!

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
None that I know of!

The key is probably malfunctioning because there is still moisture in there and it's shorting the switch out (or possibly it's now what is the salts etc left after the water evaporate). In first case put it in an airtight container with with the battery out & cover off & a lot of rice and leave for a week or two. If that doesn't work (better option I think) take the cover off and remove the back panel, take out the power board PCB and clean the contacts of the switch and ensure there is no moisture anywhere in the phone e.g. under chips etc. (also check other switches etc water may have condensed in other areas) (you can buy little phone tool set on ebay etc cheaply). Should then work normally ........:fingers-crossed:......
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlo2008:
Thanks, but I've been able to solve it differently. The phone was kept in a airtight box with rice and anti-moisture silica for a few months, but the problem continued.

I noticed that after being locked a few times, SOMETIMES I was able to hold the home button, and then access the menus. I then managed to root it, add soft keys in build.prop and disable the home button in the generic.kl file in \system\usr\keylayout...

Problem solved! It's a functional phone again, without a hardware home button.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IronRoo:
Oh right, so you managed to get in to root it etc. :good:

(yes rice doesn't always work as moisture can stay trapped in areas like the buttons contact pads underneath, I think. Even if dried out contaminates can remain that can short switch)
