[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loldude the 6th:
My problem is the default G900P firmware. Even on the latest PVPU3CPCA

running Marshmallow 6.0.1, the phone itself ignores calls sometimes and notifactions.

Yesterday I got a call without my phone ringing at all. It didn't show there was an unanswered call.

I get disconnections and many other problems, even with the default firmware.

This is why I ask if I can change my default firmware, or just give up on my phone.

Note: I've managed to install 5.0.1 Lollipop default firmware (BOK4) and install Cyanogenmod 12 for my model. It is working but the call ignores and disconnections and the notifcations ignores still persist. Should I just give up and sell my phone?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yash92duster:
Try other country firmware, there may be bugs that came by default with your country firmware

Try to clean install firmware by going to recovery and clear cache and data

No you can't flash stock firmware for a different model S5
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Loldude the 6th:
Thanks for the reply. I guess I'll flash my stock G900P Marshmallow firmware.

I will however, change my mobile network supplier, and report here the results.

It could be a compatibility issue with Samsung.

I have used TWRP to factory reset and reset data. Afterwards I flashed a stock

G900P (lollipop, I believe) firmware which I got from Sammobile.

Then my device updated to G900PVPU3CPE1 using OTA update.

I did already try all of the 4 variants (unknown and Sprint), all had these issues with them.

Note: I used to have G900PVPU3CPCA. Now it is CPE1. Not sure how this will effect anything.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
dont flash a tar.md5 on your G900P thats for another variant, it could hard brick your device. The problem youre having with missing calls isnt from the firmware. Are you not using it on sprint anymore? I saw your mention of Hebrew on it which leads me to think that youre using it outside of the US, if thats the case, the phone is entirely capable of using non-US GSM carriers, I used mine in Romania and Bulgaria this summer with zero issue.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baffour16:
I live in Ghana. I bought my Galaxy s5 from a store. Obviously they said it is brand new. I went back to office and tried updating to marshmallow and I was informed that the phone has been changes in an unauthorized way so I should download the update via kids or smartswitch.

Mind you, the phone came with a firmware for model g900f (I couldn't write down the firmware details since I did not know what they meant then). I thought it was a firmware error so I wanted to upgrade manually, and when I booted to download mode I rather found the model to be a g900p.

After flashing back to g900p I cannot flash back to g900f because the phone is inactivated even though I use a high speed wifi, I cannot access lots of functions like find my samsung.

I know there is a way to flash back to g900f. Please help me and my friend up there. Thank you
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Youdoofus:
guys, you can use a g900p in countries outside of the USA. I just did that less than 6 months ago (Romania and Bulgaria). What errors are you getting when you pop the sim card in? Is youre device rooted with a custom recovery? what ROM and baseband are you on? Certain ROMs only need you to run the SSU.apk to unlock the global capability of it. Also, idoneapps.com is a place you can go to fully unlock the device. [MENTION=319373]idone[/MENTION] and [MENTION=3077605]Nodial[/MENTION] are the forum moderators over there and they are likely the smartest guys in the room

---------- Post added at 12:29 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:27 PM ----------

also, idoneapps.com charges $35 for their unlock service, but if youre at a dead end, its a price worth paying. Ive unlocked both of my G900Ps thru them, and their work is flawless
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whyareallusernamestaken:
My trusty old Nexus 5 has been showing horizontal white lines on the screen the past few weeks. Whenever this started to happen, it would detect taps in random areas on the screen or become unresponsive. Rebooting the phone would temporarily fix the problem. Last night the battery got entirely drained and now when I boot the phone, it only shows a black screen. The led at the bottom is flashing in white. Has anyone been able to fix this issue? I was thinking that maybe a LSD cable got loose, so it's fixable, but from what I've read it's likely that the LCD is broken?

I hope someone can shed some light on what the issue is and whether I can fix it or not.

Thanks in advance.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
Was the phone every dropped? It could be the LCD or motherboard. I think the only way to really tell would be to move the motherboard to a working phone to see what happens when you try to boot.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emre67511:
Hello i have the samsung galaxy s5 neo (sm-g903f). It's currently rooted with android 5.1.1 and I wanted to ask if I can update my phone via smart switch without bricking it ???

Do I have to uninstall root before I update it with smart switch or do I have to do something else ?

Besides root I have also installed twrp recovery, a permissive kernel, viper4android, xposed framework and other things like that. Must I uninstall all these things or can I just plug in my phone and update it ?

I know that root and all the other things will be deleted after updating
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kdio:
Hi Emre67511

I've personally never used Smart Switch but it doesn't seems to place any impediments upon your requests.

Smart Switch will be active only after your update and, in your case, will be necessary to reinstall it as only S7 has it built into their ROMs.

You don't have to do nothing before updating and just reinstall what you need and is not yet present.

Depending on which ROM you are selecting to install, root and many other things will be restored during update process.

What I do:

1) I only sync with Google that will restore my contacts/photos/calendar/etc .

2) I have Titanium Backup to backup/restore my personal apps and their data as well as other system data needed.

The exact answer for your thread title is: READ! Read carefully what is recommended to perform the processes you are engaging and do as said.

Please advise if some doubts remain.

Have fun.

.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Emre67511:
Thanks for your answer :).

I used Smart switch and everything went fine. My phone is updated to the last version and I only have to install root again.

So if anyone else has the problem you can just use smart switch to update your phone to the newest version. You must only install root again and everything else is fine. :)
[Ubuntu Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moritz31:
Hey guys,

sitting on a port for my sony z3 tablet.

So far it compiles without errors. Which is quiet good. I patched the kernel then with the patches mentioned in the ubuntu porting guide.

Then i flash boot.img and recovery.img. So far so good. I can boot to ubports recovery then which is very good to i think.

But i'm unable to flash the system. I think.

Can maybe someone point me the way a bit more clear ?

Cheers

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brbbX:
Hello there,

My S6 Edge updated yesterday, and since then, it's making a sound when I unlock the screen.

It is already turned off on Settings - sounds (which, if I turn on, enables some sort of click when locking and unlocking). This sound is a little different.

I have no idea what is causing this and it is very annoying.

My build number is MMB29K.G925FXXU3DPDP.

Edit: Found the solution, it was actually NFC interacting with something.

Thank you!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H4MM3RD0WN:
Any wizards out there know if I use TWRP in read-only mode to root/flash supersu if I'll be able to take OTA's? Root is systemless and in read-only mode TWRP won't stick after reboot, so with no modification to /system, I should be able to take an OTA upgrade right? And if I read-only TWRP it won't stay after reboot but will root stay without custom recovery installed? I know after an OTA I'd have to do the re-root process, I just want to make sure I'll have root and be able to take OTA. Frame of reference I will be doing this on a Blu Life One X 2016 (on lollipop 5.1) and I'm waiting (like everyone else) for the MM update, but it's unclear when that will be released.
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sirvalence:
Greetings! I've been unlocked / rooted for a while using HTDEV / TWRP / SuperSU with S-ON and would like to revert back to stock just enough to start receiving OTA again... and eventually Marshmallow. Sadly, I'm getting older and would rather limp along the stock road as I don't find myself tweaking as much anymore. Some facts:

HTC One M9 AT&T US

Android 5.1

HTC Sense 7.0

2.11.502.18

*** Software status: Modified ***

***RELOCKED***

***S-ON***

I unlocked bootloader via htcdev and made sure to make a backup of my stock rom before doing anything so I have that.

What I've done so far:

-TWRP restore my stock ROM (message popped up upon completion stating that device is not rooted, do you wish to root and I chose NO)

-Found (what I think to be) correct replacement stock recovery and flashed via fastboot. It was 2.6.502.16 (Android 5.1) AT&T US stock recovery download from andromods

-"Relocked" bootloader.

Is this all I need to do? I see some walkthrough that involve using Sunshine for S-OFF along with MID/CID and RUU back to 100% stock, but do I need to do all that with all I've saved during my original unlock/root process?

I saw right away that there was an 80ish mb update already so I decided to try and install the update but it stalled out about 10% with the red "!" phone graphic.

I follow you guys quite a bit over here at xda and really dig this community. Any help would be much appreciated!

use SVAImgUnpack: http://www106.zippyshare.com/v/m1pjCDjY/file.html

1)extract SVA in a folder (for example in a folder named "SVAImgUnpack" without quotes) on desktop

2)open cmd (i suggest as admin but it shuold work anyways) in that folder or use cd command to reach it ( cd C:\Users\YourUsername\Desktop\SVAImgUnpack)

3)place system.img and an empty tar in a folder (i suggest to place them in the same folder as SVA)

4)now on command prompt type SVAImgUnpack "path to the system.img" "path to the tar" for example:

SVAImgUnpack C:\Users\YourUsername\Desktop\SVAImgUnpack\system.img C:\Users\YourUsername\Desktop\SVAImgUnpack\SystemimgS7.tar

5)when it has finished extract the tar(use winrar,7zip)

[Sony Smartwatch 3] mrf51:
My sw3 has worked for 6 months. I was having some connectivity issues with two of my apps so decided to do a factory reset and reconnect to force the apps to update. Done this at least twice successfully. But this time I go through the process...

-uninstall AW,

-reset my watch,

-reinstall AW,

-start the watch,

-open AW,

But the pairing code doesn't show on in AW...but it shows on the watch. I can connect in the phone bluetooth menu and get the "paired notification'' then the watch goes to the updating screen followed by 'syncing'. Usually this where I get the 'updating apps 3 of 23' but it just stays on syncing. At the end watch is not connected to my phone no apps are loaded. The phone is never visible in AW. Now if I go in and repair the devices it looks like they are connected but I can't.

I think something is wrong with AW.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Bhoot123:
My S7 Edge starts warming ( until it is unbearably hot) on the right side of the phone - near the power button - when it is on Mobile Data (no matter if the Wifi is turned off or on) only. I've also had times where the phone becomes so hot, it tells me it's overheating; the only way i have found to stop this problem is to turn the Mobile Data off and operate solely on wifi.

The phone does not (as yet) get remotely hot/warm when on wifi and battery seems to be as it should be ( <1 % on standby etc) .

I've turned off WiFi scanning, bluetooth scanning, LTE connectivity (am on 3G/2G auto connect), and auto display brightness.

My phone's model number is SM-G935FD, am using only 1 Sim card and 1 SD card (issue persists even without so card)
