[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juansf111:
Hello!

To begin I would like to apologize for my english and for creating another threat for this issue (I know there are several already existing).

My issue is the following, I got a Samsung galaxy S4 (sgh-I337M) here in my country (Colombia). I payed for it but didnt try to use it with my sim when I got it (which was really dumb). The phone is locked, it is from telcel and I have been trying to unlock it for sometimes. I have followed several procedures that I feel like im able to do, and there were some that were just too complicated for me (im tech savyy but dont have enough knowledge about cellphones).

I have tried several methods using the *#0011# and I even dare to try one that involved flashing the phone (using this rom I337MTCEFNE2) because it said it would be unlocked after it (didnt work).

I would like someone to help me with the process to unlock it (even if its with a link and some help understanding the basic concepts). Im in coombia and would like to use it here in my country.

So far i would also to know if by using a custom or official rom i would be able to unlock my phone, even if its using the rom from my country (that was not the original for the phone). Also looking at the roms available for Movistar )a carrier here in my country) I found that there are only roms for Kitkat, and I would really like to have lolipop... How does it work exactly?

Thanks to anyone who can assist me with this! And again, I apologize for creating another threath, but i already search a lot.

Is the phone running 4.4.2 or newer? This may help: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=64978235&postcount=713

You should the rom that was made for the phone's original carrier.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juansf111:
The rom I used to flash it is running on 4.4.2. So I dont download the 2 roms that you put in that post, but the original ones for the cellphone? I think this phone was supposed to be with telcel.

There are 3 roms for that carrier:

The modem rom is for 4.2.2, is there a way to upgrade my android version after following this procedure?

Sorry if i ask a lot, is just that im not sure about how roms does exactly work and what do they affect the phone.

Thank you very much for the help!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
The phone will not work with a stock 4.4.2 rom and a 4.2.2 modem. After running the region unlock app, flash the stock 4.4.2 rom again, factory wipe, and the phone should be sim unlocked.

I would flash the ne2 rom, then root, 4.2.2 modem, run region unlock, then flash the latest 5.01 rom, factory wipe, reboot, and check the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juansf111:
I did yesterday, its already unlocked! How can I root the phone now without messing the process I did?

Ohhh, yesterday I had post letting you know that i was able to succesfully unock the phone! thank you veryyy much! You are awesome!

Did you root the phone to run the region unlock ? You can root the same way.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] classic20:
Hi.

I suspect that my current network operator doesn't support the 'fast dormancy' option for mobile data, so I've been trying to find a way to disable it, but to no avail.

I read that if your phone has fast dormancy enabled but the network operator doesn't support it, that means bad news for your battery, which I've found to be true in my case.

When I'm off wifi and on mobile data, if I leave the phone with the screen off for long periods of time, I get the "msm_hsic_host" wakelock, which I've found to be directly related to 'fast dormancy'.

I tried using the *#9900# dial code and disable it there, but it seems like the option is not available in there anymore.

How do I go on about disabling fast dormancy in a non-rooted phone?

My phone: Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 (non-rooted)

ROM: Stock Lollipop 5.0.1

Kernel: Stock

P.S.: For anyone wondering what 'fast dormancy' is, here's a video explanation for it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
I don't think you can on a non-rooted phone.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] AussieUsa:
Has anyone bought an external lens that you attach to your phones camera ... i was searching around and came across the Sony DSC-QX100 and it looks amazing but $500 price tag :eek: -- Its definitely in a category of its own there as it goes beyond the clip on versions.

So I'm interested to hear any thoughts on the clip on variety ... are they more of a gimmick or actually useful? and which ones are compatible with the Pure ?

cheers all :cool:
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] aybarrap1:
Never tried them personally. Heard mostly horror stories with them. Most of the best rated ones also run into the $100+ range. At that price level, I just decided to buy a point and shoot camera and get better picture quality.
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] AussieUsa:
I hear ya there ... it's definitely is more a nerd thing, they've always fascinated me though :)
[X Style (Pure) Accessories] aybarrap1:
I will admit that I looked at them pretty seriously. Thought it would be kind of cool (yes I guess I can be considered a tech nerd). But alas, I am on a budget so the point and shoot made better sense, since I knew that it would take much better quality pictures (comparatively when looking at things such as low light or motion/action shots).
[P3600 General] nicoolaa:
Hi,

I want to close program (and not just minimize) with the hardware "OK" button. Is it possible?

thanks
[P3600 General] petervbeck:
Use HTC X-Button for example
[P3600 General] nicoolaa:
Are you sure? I try but I found no option to do this. Just for the "X" button but not for the hardware "ok" button.
[P3600 General] petervbeck:
Just go to Settings > System > X-Button and choose the Button tab.

Then you can select "End programs by tapping the x":

Should be the same action if you use the hardware or the software button imho...

View attachment 54006

edit:

ok, just tried and you're right, using the hw-button doesn't close, just minimize....

But i am also using HButton (cannot live without this great tool), with Hbutton mapped to button 3 (that's my ok-button) it's working fine.... :)

And it's also fine with Hbutton: when you're on the todayscreen, the tasklist in the upper right opens by using the ok button....that's very comfortable.

View attachment 54008 View attachment 54009
[P3600 General] nicoolaa:
ok but on my device I can't assign action for all these buttons, I just can assign action for the 2 buttons on the right side : camera button and the other one(with 2 fonctions : tape, press&hold)
[P3600 General] waterdeep:
you are looking in the wrong directon. go to settings>system>task manager, then check -Enable the X button blablabla- checkbox. choose the method and have fun:)
[P3600 General] petervbeck:
This is the same that i already told him in my post #4.

His problem is the hardware-button. That was the same "problem" on my device.

Tapping the ok button on the screen closes correct, but using the hardware button just minimizes.

In addition with Hbutton now my hardware-ok button also closes correct.

@nicolaa: I'm using another phone (Artemis), can't you just assing hbuttonX to the needed button ?

It does not matter which Hbutton you're using, you just need to map it to the needed button in wm.

for example/better understanding: you can assign Hbutton5 to Button1 in WM, that's no problem.
[P3600 General] waterdeep:
sorry, i posted my reply after seeing your first post (you mentioned x-button instead of task manager). alternatively, he can use spb pocket plus plugin, after installing it assignes _close_ action to _ok_ button by default.

actually i see no point in closing apps constantly (which of course in most cases are frequently used ones). is is enogh to periodially close all active programs from memory menu. IMHO.
[P3600 General] petervbeck:
Never mind :) I'm very happy with the hbutton solution - i think, spb-solution isn't freeware ?

I'm trying to keep my pda licensefree as possible :D Anyway - Hbutton is such a great tool, this is a must-have for me, i love it!

Cheers
[P3600 General] nicoolaa:
thanks for all your advices, finally I take AEButton Plus, il's not free but it's the only one who can map the "OK" button and the others hardware button.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moominboy:
Hi guys.

Had my S6+ for a good few months now on Lollipop, rooted from day one. Was playing up and went into a boot cycle by itself lasting between 3-5 mins before booting again so I decided to flash stock Marshmallow which went fine, using Smart Switch.

It obviously removed root so I went to add it again.

Kernel is the same I used before successfully, 928-FKLSI-ODIN.tar

Phone reboots when told to by Odin, but sits on the Samsung Powered by Android screen forever. I can get to download though not recovery mode.

Any options other than wait 2 hours to download stock firmware? Smart Switch doesn't recognise the phone anymore so I can't go that way.

TIA for all your help.

Forgot to add, at this point even killing the battery and plugging in goes straight to the same splash. Says 'Recovery is not seandroid enforcing'
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenTM:
You'll need to re-flash stock firmware. To root, use CF-Auto-Root, and to get TWRP back, flash Note 5 version (NOT the G928F version - it will only put you back to where you are now).
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moominboy:
Thanks Ben. Did that just now (Sammobile was the only 6.0 FW I could find in a panic and it takes about 3 weeks to download...)

Back to scratch now, thankfully all my personal data is still intact though I have a nice burn to the screen. Very faint though.

Do you know why the Note 5 version is preferable over the G928F?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BenTM:
The burn from the boot logo? Should disappear after some screen-on use. I had the same problem.

Apparently the S6 Edge+ TWRP is broken for some reason or another, and being that the Note 5 is closely related to the Edge+, it works perfectly.

Glad you got it sorted!

This new feature on 6.0.1 does not work on my phone, despite several restarts, safe mode activation, etc. Will not do software repair for now- too much hassle.

Am I the only user who has this problem? Seemed like a nice idea: after double tap to wake, now double tap to sleep!
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ticklefish:
Are you using the Home launcher?

This was a Concept feature, I'm not sure if it was in the full release. But, if it did, you need to double-tap on an empty area of the homescreen in Home.
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juniormarbles:
I am sure it's a final release feature: the option to toggle it on or off appeared in my home screen settings menu after downloading 6.0.1.

And yes, I know how to activate it: double tap empty space on home screen.

Any Z3 Compact owner reading this whose double tap to sleep works?
[Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juniormarbles:
Tap To Sleep in 6.0.1: Issue Solved

Just figured it out: while in "tap to wake" I can use many different intervals (i.e. time between the two taps) to activate the function, "tap to sleep" will only accept a precise interval to work: if I double tap just 50 milliseconds too fast or too slow, it will not work.

HI, you need to long press on your home screen and then you get it selected with everything what's there. When you see this that you an remove or add items to your home screen there will be either a setting icon or a plus icon on the bottom that you need to click on. This will show a menu where if you scroll down will give you the option to activate "double tap to sleep" feature. Sony could have put the double tap to wake up and sleep mode in one place …… :)

[Xperia Z5 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] civicsr2cool:
I have never used a headset but there has got to be an app for that.. I use speakerphone a lot and play around with the proximity sensor when on a call. If you can start the call and then go to your home screen you can actually lock the phone and not have it do that. But if you're answering from your headset you probably need something to disable the proximity sensor.

[HTC One A9] megatomic:
I have an AT&T HTC One A9 and one of my favorite apps is YT Music. I like to minimize the app and run it in the background for hours on end. On my OnePlus One this is no problem, the app just goes and goes. On my A9 not so much. Whichever song is playing when I minimize the app and turn off the screen is the last song that plays before I get an error. The app is unable to stream the next song, the widget has an explanation in the place of the play button. If I click on the exclamation point the app then reconnects to YouTube and the next song begins. Rinse and repeat. I have unoptimized the app in Battery Manager to no avail.

Has anyone else seen this problem? Is there a fix for it? Thanks.

[Device Reviews and Information] supersmp:
Till now all I see from this company is pre-sale marketing. Has anyone (real customers I mean) actually "experienced" their first model?

How is the software optimization (for a "new and ambitious brand" it should be 101% optimized) on that one?

Will they offer OTA updates?

Did they even start to ship out the thor?.... To many question marks and pre-sale after pre-sale. No real life experience.

Bottom line:

Would I take a ~200$ chance on this nice spec but completely unknown Veenee Apollo Lite? The answer is Yes!

Would I keep 200$ locked for months in a unknown release date pre-sale? Don't think so.

They seem to be pre financing from pre sales... Just an opinion.
