Just Uninstaller package disabler. What do you guys think about this battery life? Any tips or tricks to extend it even more?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cragil:
Okay so the phone i have right now came with a sd card called 128 evo plus , which was great and was excited to move over apps from internal storage to it, but i don't seem to have the option to do so. (i searched the videos and how-tos and i followed them, but i just dont have the option to.) Help would be appreciated !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AndroiderM:
Settings

Device

Applications

Application manager

Pick the app you want to move

Storage

Change

Select sd card

You can only move certain apps to sd so you will have to go down the list until you find one that allows you to move it over. Ex waze gps
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cragil:
the problem is i have no option to change it to move it into the sd card
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AndroiderM:
That's strange what carrier? Did you try a reboot after installing card?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] cragil:
I'm bell (canada) and yes i have. :/
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] AndroiderM:
And you have tried it on all of your downloaded apps? My options are very limited as to what I can move to sd. My only other suggestions are to download something like Pandora or waze as I know I can move these on my phone and maybe reformat card with your phone. Other than that I'm at a lose on this one sorry, maybe someone who knows more or had the same issue and found a fix will chime in.

Should look like this

yes i have, i guess i'll go to the samsung store and have them take a look. thanks tho ! [MENTION=6082807]AndroiderM[/MENTION]

Hello,

I have a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. The phone is on OS 5.1.1. See screenshots please. However when I restarted my phone today, I noticed that the standard browser icon changed to the ios 6.0 ui icon. See bottom screen. On my other Note 4 with the same OS 5.1.1 , it hasnt changed and still has the old standard browser ui icon.

Could anyone explain me, how this happenned? How and why on my Note 4 only one icon changed to the 6.0 ui?

Also both phones are not rooted.

Thanks,

Hello folks,

I have a Galaxy S6 here that will not fully load up after I press the power button. In the top right hand corner is states this ' KERNEL IS NOT ENFORCING ' and below it, it says ' Custom binary blocked by FRP Lock. '

I'm not an expert at this, I just have been reading and as you can see I'm stuck, so I'm here requesting help.

What I tried:

Downloaded ODIN 3.10.7?

Tried flashing the stock firm 5.1.1. - it Failed

I tried factory resetting by holding down+home button+power button - it Failed

If anyone can please help me, it will be greatly appreciated.

I recently clean flashed 5.1.1 on my Nexus 4 and restored all my apps and set the device up the way I need it to be, however, I am experiencing these random reboots that I cannot solve. I have checked the kernel log and it is showing no errors on the kernel side, but the logcat is showing me system errors on behalf of the ROM. I don't know how to pinpoint the cause of the error from the log so I am hoping someone can help me with diagnosing this error, and what I can do about it. Any help is appreciated, I have attached the full log with crash sequence. Thanks!

GSM Arena has put up the first review of the LG G5 that I'm aware of:

Evening the odds - LG G5 review | gsmarena.com

The G5 being one of the S7/S7 Edge's main competitors, it seemed appropriate to start a thread to discuss the virtues and vices of each phone.

What are your thoughts on these two giants?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
Though I'm not a benchmark guy when it comes to smarphones, I am curious to know how the LG G5 compares to the SD820 version of the S7/S7E in order to see if Samsung has throttled the Snapdragon variant to give the Exynos version the edge.

Looks like Sammy gave their SD820 devices a fair shake to me.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
Battery Life

Another quick comparison--life of the 3,000mAh battery in the S7 flat (Exy8890) vs. the 2,800mAh battery in the LG G5. It's a good thing the G5 has Quick Charge 3.0, because you'll be charging more often.

The S7E would kill the G5, but it's hardly a fair comparison since it's a larger device with a 3,600mAh battery.

S7 Edge Exynos 8890

S7 Edge SD820
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jacobgong:
I think the g5 looks worse than the previous G series. There's no AMOLED display nor water resistance. It has hi-fi which I really like but it's in the form of a module and it gives you two headphone plugs on your phone which is just weird and you have to pay for it and you end up with a useless module in your drawer.

I just don't think this modular phone thing working.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Willyman:
I got a 134k on Antutu on my SD820 S7 Edge so there's that...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cst79:
Well, since the G2, LG only went downhill. Battery life of the G5 is really not worthy of 2016.

However, there is one thing that LG really put some effort in, and that is the Always-On Display. Not only is it like 3 times more efficient than Samsung's, but it also displays all the notification types from all apps. Also the notification LED of the G5 can be customized with different colors for different notification types rigtht from the LG software, while on the S7 Light Flow and alternatives barely work (lots of hacks needed, do not work with Gmail and other Google apps).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] meyerweb:
The G5 looks to be a nice phone, but I'm happy with my S7 Edge, and don't see anything about the G5 I really prefer, and would have to give up a number of things I really like. The super bright screen in daylight and wireless charging, for example. And I don't see myslef using the add-on modules at all.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chord_Hugo87:
you need to run the SD and exynos multiple time to get the real answer...SD tend to throttle down a lot after heating up.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FalconFX:
Its not more efficient, samsung AOD is way brighter, i actually can see the clock in direct sunlight. But no one can denie that LGs is way more useful.

I tested mine, cause i use AOD on my s7e. And it consums 3% over 9hrs overnight. Thats less than 0.33% per hour. LGs consums 0.8% with it being always dim
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] dagrim1:
No low light camera shots? But yeah, so far no regrets on going for the S7 instead of waiting...
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cst79:
Well, my S7 Edge Exynos (which normally lasts 2.5 days on a charge) lost 13% in 8 hours (under artificial light) so far with AOD on, Wi-Fi only and the screen was only used 30 minutes. So that's how efficient it is. Of course that overnight it will lose less, since the brightness will be low given the dark room. Samsung should allow users to set the brightness (it is far too bright sometimes, I would gladly reduce brightness for more efficiency) and of course, they should display all notifications in real time (which frankly I don't think will ever happen but let's see).
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] markwebb:
Yeah, add-on modules? I just don't see that happening w/me. Do we really need more stuff to carry around, let alone a spare battery? Seems like we are going backwards in time. I also am wondering if after repeated use, having those modules removed/reinserted will create a gap between them and the main phone itself. I thought I saw an early review where it didn't line up very well and the separation was noticeable (as he searches the threads).

True, I do have on pre-order so will see and trying to keep an open mind.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] jona_12:
I wish Samsung went back to removable batteries :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] the Doctor:
I thought the same until I got my OnePlus One. Now I could care less as long as battery life is really good which it is on the OPO, and the S7 is even better. I'd be annoyed if battery life was worse and I had to change batteries during the day. This round goes to the S7 over the G5 in my book.

+1
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] meyerweb:
Well, the spare battery is the one feature I really do like about the G5. Especially since LG is prone to giving them away free when you buy the phone. I had a spare for my G3, and while I rarely used it, on a few occasions it was a lifesaver. Then again, battery life on the S7 is amazing, so it's less important than it used to be.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] FalconFX:
I hate carrying anything in my pocket aside from keys and phone. Even headphones are annoying to me. So all day battery life and the best camera in a smartphone are enough. No battery pack/spare battery or camera grip.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cst79:
Hopefully you like it a lot, because you will be using it often :)
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] pdub517:
In my opinion, I don't necessarily see myself using the "Friends" LG is promoting. I do think it's a great concept for future phones, as well as open the door to potential 3rd party products, but I don't see a "must have" friend at the moment. As for the battery, there are two things I have a problem with:

1. Cases - It's going to be difficult to get a case that provides necessary protection, while still providing easy access to the battery.

2. Smaller Battery - I have the LG G3 - and for the most part I can make it last all day as a power user. 2800 mAh seems like a step in the wrong direction. I travel quite a bit, and in the past I've had to lug a heavy external around, so having a extra battery to swap out is still a huge bonus, but why go smaller?

On a side note, not that it's a huge decrease, I'm a bit disappointed that LG has reduced the display size. I would actually prefer a phone that had a larger screen, to more easily read documentation/ect, and all around use.

All around, I like the 16mp camera, and 8 mp wide eye camera, and love my G3, so I've pre-ordered.. We will see, I'm hoping for a drastic increase in processing power with the new 820 snapdragon, and an increase in overall performance. Hopefully, this turns out to be a great replacement for the G3, or I may be switching to the Samsung s7 Edge.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Guides, News, & Discussion] meyerweb:
Didn't say I'm getting a G5. I'm pretty happy with my S7 Edge. But I still like removable batteries. There have been occasions where being able to swap a battery on my G3, and my GS3 before that, was a Godsend. The Edge does have much better battery life than either of those, but I'd still like the option.

I'm really interesting in using Samsung pay, but unfortunately my credit union doesn't support, and probably will not for a very long time. I can't even use android pay. My wife and I were already talking about getting a second account somewhere and I'm wanting one that works with Samsung pay (might as well). She doesn't want Wells Fargo because oh how they ar ed handling her sister's identity theft situation.

I can't find anything up to date on if TD Bank is supported. I know the official list doesn't show it but several article from end of last year say they are going to be supported a long with 14 other institutions. Anyone have a definite answer? I called customer service and the person didn't even know they supported apple and Android pay (says they do on website).

Also is there a better recommendations than TD Bank?

[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GreenXSI:
Hi,

I'm in need of help urgently!

Last week I had updated my Note 5 to MarshMallow and it was working fine. I remember the phone had never been off or restarted after the update until today when the battery ran out. Connected to charger and when I turned on the mobile it showed this message :

"Enter PIN instead of using fingerprint recognition after restarting device to protect fingerprints"

Now I've been unlocking screen using fingerprints from the time I got this phone. Unfortunately, I forgot the PIN and now I can't use fingerprints to unlock the screen. :( After a few failed attempts the wait time keeps increasing and now it has reached 30 minutes.

Is there anyway I can unlock my phone?

Please help ASAP!
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M31:
Login into this website using your Samsung account

Find "Unlock my device" section

And make sure your device is connected to the internet then unlock you device
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Meyrinn:
On the MM build, after a reboot you have to use the pin but subsequent times will be fingerprint, I have no idea why they did this. Sorry that happened to you, I have no idea how to get around that other than to keep searching, someone else had had that happen I'm sure.
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Douglas333:
Yep, I'm screwed, too...

I even kept a list of every iteration of PIN numbers I would ever use (they are generated by an algorithm). I have tried every one - and I am still locked out - with 60 minutes in between tries!

I have very, very important legal documents, notes, and recordings on my phone that I didn't get to backup yet. Unfortunately, most backups do not "dig" well enough under App directories to get all files generated by all Apps. So sad...

And "No", I can't access any sdcard or SIM bc it's an S6 edge+, and they are all locked into the case! The supposed Samsung "unlock" feature does not work, though it says it does.

Dying here! HELP...
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMike2182:
You're screwed really and this is why a lot of devs on here say to make backups! Your only option at this point is a firmware reinstall..
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Douglas333:
Rats! Catch 22...

But without root, I can't find a backup that will catch all the files well nested under App directories. With root, there are too many "gotchas" nowadays.

Besides, I know I have tried every PIN I would have ever set - so this MM "PIN" is a joke! There should have been a warning, as this is a serious disruption of service.

Wiping is just not an option - I have files created Friday, before the Upgrade, which would not have gotten backed up anyway. Besides, No update should block data access. One of you Gurus can't think of a workaround or push Samsung or Google for a fix? I'm thinking more like "Class Action Lawsuit" for disrupting normal access to my data and my lawsuit...

Anyone else that pissed?
[Galaxy Note5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrMike2182:
You need to learn to "manually" back your stuff up yourself and don't rely on any programs/apps to do it...

There's seriously nothing the dev community could do because for 1 it's not the right way to go about this because if someone's phone is stolen or whatever basically they'd be able to come to XDA-Developers and find a way around the phone being locked for 2 that's definitely not what devs do, we don't look for ways to break into a phone or circumvent the security. You should have backed up anything you knew was important, simple as that .. You need to factory reset at this point. Sorry.

[Android Apps and Games] ntorresla:
It's simple and efficient ! One question, Wich one it's better ? Extreme saver or way more battery ?
[Android Apps and Games] Craig Capel:
Extreme simply means the phone never wakes up from sleep mode, the other 2 options will switch wifi/4g/bt/gps (whatever was on before the screen goes off, it will then wait 15 seconds (enough time for email/facebook/etc notification) then power down...

Inbetween wakes every 30 minutes or so, the other is more like every hour.

So if you enjoy silence (except for sms/calls) extreme will give that :)

One thing this app has over the majority of them is that this was written ground up, you'll find with the popular battery apps it all comes from the same source code and they all end up with shared underlying bugs...

OK - sorted out the task manager, the last build was shutting down the home screen build 83 (causing a 4 second delay from the top most app back to the home screen)

It now keeps it alive and the lag has gone, it was in the name of power saving but i think it was a little over kill, sorry about that, build 84 has it sorted back to full speed even after being put into deep sleep (FreeMem can be used again)
