[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] meyerweb:
We all get to choose the phone that best meets our individual needs. If a replaceable battery is critical for the OP, that makes the G5 his only choice among top end phones. Personally, I'm not impressed by the G5, but that's me.

But for the specific concerns listed. The US S7e will probably never be rooted, so if that's truly critical get something else. I'm not sure the 5 is the answer for that, either, though.

As far as battery goes, while I think that phones should, in general, have a replaceable battery, an external battery pack is a viable substitute, especially if you don't need it all the time. There are even wireless ones that power the phone through the Qi coil.

Good luck with the lego phone, bye. This thread never happened and i never replied.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] zurih:
You better go with LG G4 instead of LG G5 if you insist on LG hehe.

But really, nothing can beat Galaxy S7 Edge, including HTC 10:

1. Best Display on planet.

2. Waterproofing

3. Awesome Battery life

4. Super-sexy phone.

5. The best smartphone camera with the fastest focus on smartphones.

6. If you need more just ask...

Was looking to give my edge back for the G5... after playing with the g5 so glad am sticking with my baby. Great battery life waterproof and brilliant design and most of all the phone is sexy like me... and the g5 battery not that great.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Annihilate This:
Looking to buy a new phone, settled on the G4, gonna make sure I get a revision 1.1 and a 603 serial phone.

I am gonna be on MetroPCS so let's keep that in mind.

Really need help chosing, I am looking at the 815 and the 811 along with US991.

Any help would be great.

Or if you had a phone suggestion below $350 that would be comparable or better please share.

So you would suggest the 815 then.
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecrunked:
the h815 from the specific countries on that list are the only ones with unlockable bootloaders. if you buy an h815 from a region not on that list you cannot unlock it and thus cant have twrp, custom roms, etc
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panostheodorakis7:
The H815 or international version is the best choice ...LG is giving u the files to unlock ur bootloader ...theres are many roms out there u can flash and try ....And I m talking from personal experience i have a H815 and i have already flash 3 different roms and i have unlock my bootloader and didnt encounter any problems at all ....A friend of mine bought another h815 and encounter a bootloop after a official software update but after a factory reset all was working good ....i live in europe ....
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptorddd:
id say go with h811... if you unlock bootloader you warranty is over... if you buy international if something happens you must send back phone for repair...to what ever country you get it from according to the list that can be unlocked... not sure if you buy in the states the h815 comes with no warranty. either..
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] giselemd:
Got the USB working just fine with a powered external HDD. Would like to use it with a small portable HDD but the power draw on the phone is ridiculous. Has anyone had luck with using any specific powered USB hubs attached to the phone? Any luck with hub connected to multiple drives?

ES File Explorer sees the drive but can't open it. Are there better options?

Thank you!

I had TWRP 3.0.1 so I downloaded the latest TWRP 3.0.2 IMG file and booted to Recovery and selected the image and then selected Recovery as to where to flash and it flashed no errors so I backed out and went to reboot and selected Recovery and it rebooted to bootloader and when I stroll volume keys to Recovery then power to select it just hangs there I have to do a power long press to get it to reboot back to Android. Any ideas why Recovery will not load now ?

I'm on MHC19l

Stock rooted no mods

System rooted
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttminh1997:
A bad flash, perhaps? Have you checked the MD5 after downloading?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoot0073:
Possible bad download but at this point I can't reflash the recovery until I can fast boot .. I gotta order another Type C to USB to connect the phone to the computer for fast boot grrrrr...

Thx
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttminh1997:
Glad to help! Next time make sure you check MD5 before flashing (even then an occasional bad flash could still cause trouble, but hey, what's the choice here?) You can still boot to Android normally, no?

Sidenote: anyone knows if a micro B to C adaptor would work with fastboot?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoot0073:
Yeah I can still boot to Android fine jus when I select recovery n bootloader it hangs in bootloader. I have to hard reset to get out of bootloader mode lol....

Jus sucks BC now I gotta wait until friday to order a Type C to USB cable to use the computer to fast boot TWRP to recovery.. :/

I jus got this 6P 4 days ago coming from the HTC M9 Developer Edition I decided to go with the 6P over the M10 even though I would have gotten $100 off the M10 for not using my UhOh protection.

But I'm currently Stock w/ root until I figure out or understand this whole Vender thing when flashing Roms.. Jus being very cautious.

With HTC you jus flash the ROM you want but here some say jus flash the ROM and some say flash the Vender matching the ROM.. Lol,..
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ttminh1997:
About the vendor img... Not too sure about the whole technical details behind them, but I just flash them every time Google updates them (think monthly security updates), at the very least to get rid of the 'vendor img outdated' popup. You don't need to flash a new vendor img everytime you update/switch ROMs, but only when there's a new vendor.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pain-N-Panic:
I usually just flash recovery with flashify. Never had an issue doing it that way. Or fastboot.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJBhardwaj:
People have been facing the same issue all around. Even I did, last night after updating to N Preview. Anyhow, the only solution I know right now is to have a decrypted filesystem (disable encryption), for TWRP to boot and work properly.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoot0073:
Yeah disable encryption I believe I read requires booting into recovery and wiping User Data or something alone those line's.

Unless there's a option in Android settings to disable it idk yet as I jus had the phone a few day's.

But so far I happy with my decision to get the 6P over the M10 even if the 6P is 4 or 5 moths old...
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scoot0073:
OK I got the latest TWRP Recovery flash . I used Flashify app and it flashed the recovery and I got a working recovery now.. :)

[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] ToeJullar:
I simply can't connect to anything. All devices in the menu show up as MISC and when tapped are highlighted for a brief moment. I've tried connecting to a soundbar, headphones, and other phones with no success.

To troubleshoot I cleared the cache/data of the bluetooth system apps and force stopped them. Power cycling the devices provided no fix either.

Anyone have any ideas or tips?

Thanks :cowboy:
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] geeksmurf:
I just checked and my Bluetooth is working fine, shows BT Speaker as what I was using and plays fine. Are you on ZV3? I know someone mentioned they had ZV2 then got an update to ZV3.

Maybe try dialer codes ##UPDATE# or ##SCRTN# go crazy and do ##RTN# (need MSL) basically factory reset lose everything start over. Not fun! Last resort!
[Sprint LG G5 Questions & Answers] ToeJullar:
I did the factory reset and that fixed it. Guess it was some sort of software bug. Thanks for the help!

Samsung Theme Designer here...

I'm a graphic designer with about 9 years of experience working in the industry. I was following the news about Samsung opening up their theme editor to the U.S. in late 2015 and jumped on it when it was finally released for the states. I was accepted as a theme designer by Samsung in December 2015 after a 3 month vetting process. Keep in mind that I had a full portfolio to submit from my years of experience as a graphic designer.

It took me a few months to get my first design up and going in the Theme Store but after a lot of tweaking and back and forth with Samsung's QA team I finally got it certified and in the Theme Store. My first theme is called "OldCRT" and I've done a few different color variations of it. It is a theme based off a game I enjoy and I intend to do more based off other games/movies/comics. Which reminds me... if any of you are wanting specific themes designed for your S6/Note 5 or higher then let me know.

I'm writing all of this for a few reasons. I'm mostly doing this to share my experience, answer questions and also to find other approved designers because there seems to be hardly any actual American designers allowed into their circle... or they may all be hiding... at least from what I've been able to google. The other reason is because I just found this site and wanted to ask the community for any design ideas (if you send me any requests please keep in mind that I cannot create any themes using intellectual property).

With all of that said... Are there any other approved Samsung Theme Designers here? It would be great to have a conversation about this process and maybe help each other with any problems.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] daproject:
Hi there, I was wondering if you would be interested in making some dark material design themes.

Im from new zealand and here we don't have the paid theme store, we just get free themes, so the amount of themes we can choose from is very limited.

I cant found many material themes, like dark grey and red for example.

Just an idea!

Something like this for example

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] s629c:
Of course my opinion is my own, but I'm not a fan of full black themes. It just doesn't look good compared to the dark material colors. I would love to see more material dark that has a bit of white here and there. I'm currently using the touchwiz 6.0 dark right now

Also, I would like to see some "clean" themes on the store. Note that I can't buy themes from the store since I'm not in one of the 14 supported countries, so I can't see if there are any themes that resembles these.

I like themes in this style. It doesn't necessarily need to be dark, but it's very clean and there are no logos, cats, balloons or weird stuff going on here:

Hi I wanted to know is samsung store the only place available for themes for non rooted phones or are their alternative stores and can they be side loaded without disabling the store.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] Ćwirek:
No I'm using theme called "Blue and Black AMOLED" (you can find it in Samsung's theme store). It will be cool if someone could edit only the blue parts of the theme and change it to black. It will be fantastic if it is even possible.

The second thing, a question.

I'm using Nova Launcher and icon pack called Cyrcle. Is there and app, Xposed module or something that allows me to change the theme app icons on the Apps Edge panel to Cyrcle icon pack?

I don't think so, no. But I have found a solution that may or may not help you. Yes, it's the most unpractical way of getting something, but it may (or may not) work. People are reporting that it does work though, but your mileage may vary.

1. Remove SIM-card

2. Install a VPN-service like Tunnelbear (500MB free)

3. Delete cached data of the Theme Store -> Settings > Applications > App. Manager > Theme Store > delete all the data

4. Open the theme store and all the paid stuff should be there, and adding a PayPal or credit card should also work.

Hate to tell you this but you would have to have a rom ported from a phone that does support it. As there are an absolute ton of files required for theme store/service to work. J3, J5, and J7 are the only phones that support theme service in that line.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Themes, Apps, and Mods] B3311:
There are a couple of custom ROMs where you can change the notification background colour (Superman is one), but AFAIK changing text colour is impossible in the Theme Editor. You need to decompile the relevant apk for your changes, something I can't be bothered with. Tickle My Android, a tool you'll find on the Android Theme sub-forum, could be helpful.
