[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] shahid317:
So, I purchased a galaxy S7 (G930F) that turned out to be locked to a google account that the seller claims to have no details of. I have already paid for the phone and would not get the money back. I am now stuck with this phone that keeps on asking for the stupid google account details without which it would not let me use the phone. I have tried looking everywhere on the internet and came to the conclusion that I need to reset or bypass factory reset protection (FRP) in order for me to able to use the phone. There are a couple of guys who can help (one of them is http://www.simplemarket.info/demo/bsyoutubeapipro/user/UCgBhI-0hK6EiNd8mu4VzlHw?lang=ur) but they are asking for ridiculous amounts of money (north of $100). I am happy to pay a nominal fees but this sounds a little too much to me. Does anybody know if there is a free solution (or something that has a reasonable price)?

Why don't you file a dispute from the site you purchased/bank and claim for a refund.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] shahid317:
I would have loved to! I paid cash and purchased it from Gumtree (much like Craiglist)

Have you tried to reset your phone in recovery mode ?

To enter the recovery mode, hold down the VOLUME UP + HOME Button keys and then press the POWER button (hold it down untill you're in Recovery mode).

You can also try to download the full official ROM from Sammobile and flash it with ODIN.

This will also reset your phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] shahid317:
Hey mate, thanks for your suggestions. I have tried doing the factory reset (entering into recovery using power+vol up + home keys) and flashed the stock firmware (entering into download mode using power+vol down+home keys). Unfortunately, neither of those worked :(
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] annson08:
Try to flash TWRP then in TWRP do a format data.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] shahid317:
Ok, I will try that and get back to you

Have you tried this ?

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] shahid317:
Cannot try this unfortunately since it doesn't support frp reset for G930f (Galaxy s7). Moreover, it needs purchase of a hardware (z3x box) which costs North of $200.

Thanks heaps for your suggestions though

Good luck, I'm going to try those guys in your first post if Samsung repairers can't/won't fix mine.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] mcdanishdk:
This is weird, I have had maybe 10 different factory new Android phone since my first, the Legend, and maybe 30 second hand Android phones, but I have never heard that they should be locked to a certain Google/Gmail account. All my phones were readily customizable with my own GMAil account after a factory reset, ready for use. But hen again, I am from Denmark and we used SIM cards in our phones, and I have tried to find the origin country of this poster but couldn't, so maybe he is from a country where phones are coded with the phone number (CDMA??), like mine were when I lived in California. But I will follow this and hope to reveal the type, SIM or CDMA.

It's a new protection for phones shipping with Android 6.0 and onward, it's meant to prevent theft and it's actually very effective at it.

Unless you are in absolute rush, I'd suggest that you shouldn't entertain people like that. There would be a free or low cost solution within a week or so (that's what a few people on gsmhosting forums suggested). I'm actively looking for the solution and I will post the solution here when I do find one.

Thats the same day as the Huawei P9. Must be tactical.
[Xiaomi Mi 5 Questions & Answers] killbox:
I'm not sure if I like or think the Xiaomi tactic is of any good. Recently, I've read numerous articles about disappointing sales for their cellphones., and I can understand that. Lets take Redmi Note 3 as an example. Great phone and great value for money. They release it, and just a few weeks after they release the Pro version for more or less the same price, but now with superior CPU and expansion slot. As far as I know the Pro version wasn't communicated prior to the release of the standard version. Releasing the Mi5 in small chunks beginning at the entry version in one color doesn't add up to me. Beginning at the flagship would in my opining boost more hype around the phone and would probably convince more people to grab the flagship rather than the entry.

It also does not respond to holding power button and holding power + vol down

Any help is appreciated :D

[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TrojanHorses:
So I have here lots of questions

1. Other say that the camera of ze500kl is 13mp, other say 8mp. Which is true? Moreover, is the camera quality and laser autofocus worth it for the price?

2. I know that ZENui is plagued by bloatwares and is visually unattractive. Are there any good themes for zenui (preferrably material themes) and does zenui make the phone sluggish? is it laggy?

3. Any feature missing from stock android? Any useful added "zen" feature?

4. Is asus good with the dev community? Do they have a nice record of releasing timely updates and bug fix?

5. Is ze500kl good value for money?

6. Is the bootloader unlockable?
[Zenfone 2 Laser Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BubuXP:
1) you must check the second part of the model name or the product code to be sure what hardware has the phone. My phone for example is:

complete model name: ZE500KL-1A224WW

product code: 90AZ00E1-M02250

you must google for the product code (or complete model name) and see if the official ASUS store and/or all the other stores report the same hardware specifications for that phone, so you will know what you are exactly buying.

2) I still don't know about themes, but ZenUI doesn't seem laggy, and you can disable most of the bloatware (you can also root easily the phone and disable what you want).

3) probably the only missing feature from stock android is the simpler configuration. ZenUI has many features that raises the complexity of the configurations.

4) No. Latest firmware for ZE500KL has been released in mid January (build in December). Since then many people have problems like the non-working GPS but at the time no updates (see the official ZenTalk forum). Also, it's still using Android 5.0.2 and no info when upgrading to future versions.

5) Surely yes if you are a regular user. And if you don't consider chinese brands like Xiaomi.

6) Not at the moment. I hope it will be in the near future and custom ROMs will come out, or I will sell my ZE500KL.

I was updating the phone LS991 and after reboot, the display was distorted. I rebooted few times with a hope that would fix the screen but now there is no display at all. The phone boots fine, makes sound, i can swipe finger and can hear screen unlock sound, but there is no display. The backlight comes on i can see but screen remains black, just no display. On boot there is not even the LG logo.

Anyone can please help? it was on Marshmallow 6.

[Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Medfordite:
I have the 920L from Straight Talk. From day 1, I have noticed that the bluetooth is not reliable and can be very choppy. I first noticed it with a wireless speaker I streamed to. Frequent choppiness and it seemed pretty consistent.

I have a Plantronics Voyager Pro bluetooth headset which works and I do not detect any audio problems, but the people I talk to have complained about really choppy sound most of the time.

I have a Zenwatch2 which now has speaker support, only 1 out of the 3 calls I have made on the watch has not had the audio problem. The rest, it is very choppy.

I had it paired to my Pioneer car stereo and that seemed to do okay with the bluetooth audio streaming and no perceived issues.

Does anyone have a solution for this? In all cases, the phone is no more than 2-3 feet line of sight from the device except for the watch, but even that should be able to get the signal fine.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] MtnDewAddict:
I've initiated the downloads, but have yet to confirm my 6 game bundle, which is extremely hard to find any information on...

What are the 6 games by the way?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] AndroiderM:
Lands end

Deer hunter

Ocean rift

Mortal blitz

Keep talking and nobody explodes

And hero something lol

Once you download all the vr stuff and open oculus store it will prompt you to download your free games. They should also show in your purchase history
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] MtnDewAddict:
Install finished!

Here are the 6 games you get with the Samsung Gear VR promotion 6-game bundle

Ocean Rift

Lands End

Mortal Blitz VR - Escape the Darkness (Episode 1)

Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes

Hero Bound: Spirit Champion

Deer Hunter VR

I'm also on AT&T. I think the bundles differ between carriers.

T-Mobile S7 Edge games for me. Not sure the budle is just different for each provider. I already paid for gunjack so that sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] MtnDewAddict:
They should be at the bottom, and you need to be logged into the S7. I tried downloading my games on my friends Note 5 and they didn't appear.

Also if anyone's curious (and for Google when it crawls this page), the Samsung Gear VR headset promotion is shipping through FedEx

My friend on Verizon got those games. So it must be the carrier.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Semseddin:
We are in the same boat. I tried everything to get those 6 free games but not available. I am in Turkey. I have opened a support ticket with oculus and we came to a point where i had to post a proof of purchase of my device to get the games. Because everything i was asked to try didn't help me getting the free 6 bundle games. I will let you know about the result.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] bernd.k:
Hehe ok this i also see the first time. Never got any free games but the preorder bundle with vr. Btw i have purchased most of them in the meantime :/ so i could have saved a lot of money. Looking at the gameplay of most games available atm it is horrible... this 'look to go' thing really bores me... but even with the gamecontroller i also bought from samsung, there are only a few good games right now...

It's working

But the download is a bit slow. I think Oculus/Samsung's server is a bit overloaded right now..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] sweets55:
I think I'll actually only play maybe two of the free games I got. I already had a VR and bought GunJack. Great game but seems to lag a little bit compared to when I played it with the Note 5. Would be nice if you could get another game if you already have one of the free games.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] Semseddin:
I've been replied that i didn't get my phone Gear VR promotion date with a Pre-order. That is why i was missing the free 6 games. Bummer.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Discussion] TCPDump:
I apparently missed the Gear VR promo by 2 days, but i already have two other VR headsets. Does anyone know if the games will work on other VR headsets or does it check for a connected Gear headset specifically?

Should the free games download be a popup prompt of some kind after I initially log in?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] elesbb:
The keyboard apk does not contain the emojis. The emojis are held inside the emoji font file who's name I cannot recall at this moment. A rooted device will be needed to get the emojis on the S5. I have the S5 myself and use the apple ios 9 emojis.

So I'm thinking about flashing EX kernel and had a question about the kernel manager app. I know it allows you to make quite a few changes but that it also has preset profiles.

My question is can I just picks profile and use those settings or do I have to manually tweak each setting etc.

Thanks.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcolawl:
The preset profiles are just for the CPU governors. It doesn't change anything else and there's a ton of different stuff to tweak like I/O schedulers, Virtual Memory, Graphics and TCP Congestion Avoidance.

[Galaxy S6 Accessories] bx10r:
very good looking cases...but for the price i paid for my 6, i wouldnt trust a 20.00 case in the watrer...id recommend either lifeproof or dog and bone. Ive used lifeproof on my s3,s4 and s5 and just ordered one for my 6 for my cancun trip in may, heres a pic of me in jamaica last may, this is on my s5. Im sure the 6 will be just as good
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Lingling00:
I bought a iPhone 6 case from Eonfine .This is an excellent case for the price. While I have not pushed this case to the lowest depts they suggest in the guidelines/instructions, I have taken photos under water and in waves/ splashing and they have not only been awesome shots, the phone stays bone dry.This case is also awesome because it comes with a wire adapter to help keep the headphone jack waterproofed as well, allowing you the ability to listen to music while lounging in or by the pool or beach. Additionally, this case is wonderful to use for long distance swimmers to be able to track their progress, heart rate and have music (when they have an armband of strap that allows the heart monitor to feel your pulse) and can help to motive their laps (I use the app that can allow me to switch to laps by distance instead of the pedomitor just picking up steps) and runners get the same benefits protecting their case from sweat/ dirt/etc.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] reg1707:
The first one looks pretty nice.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] jmsaye:
I'll second the LifeProof. And don't let the $80 msrp scare you, you can find them on eBay for $20-30. Maybe cheaper now that the S7 is out.

I purchased this one as well. This case is definitely going to protect my phone. Everything fits perfect and snug. The buttons function properly and this plastic case is not made cheaply it really is durable! Fits my Galaxy S6 spot on!

I'm planing to purchase lifeproof or eonfine cases ,but I am not sure about thier waterproof ability.
[Galaxy S6 Accessories] Rakcoon:
This topic's been exhausted in already existing thread. Look in there for details on recommended cases.

**And be wary of the above posts vouching for eonfine cases.

Eonfine employees are known to advertise and give false positive reviews and praises on their own products.

kmjds123 and Lingling00 look suspiciously like them (it's their first post and only post).**
