[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] hp79:
Where I live, tmobile gets awesome speed. Faster than AT&T and Verizon. But the stupid thing often times drops calls and very spotty depending on where you go. I couldn't stay with tmobile because of that. I had 2 months with tmobile. I was always on AT&T before that, so I got curious of Verizon and now testing their service. So far I'm not impressed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] geoff5093:
If you're talking about a T-Mobile S7 vs Verizon S7 on T-Mobile, there is a huge difference in speed between the two. The Verizon S7 doesn't have band 12, and in various markets where carrier aggregation is enabled, I don't get those speeds on the Verizon version. As an example, on a T-Mobile phone I got around 40-50Mbps, but on my Verizon S7 with a T-Mobile SIM I get 5-10Mbps.

Hi,

I have an issue thats driving me crazy, I can't get any rom other than stock to recognize my sim card. I'm on sprint and every rom I tried flashing so far shows the no sim card icon in the status bar. Anyone have any ideas?
[Windows 10 Mobile] nimbulan:
I've been looking into modding my Lumia 640 WP10, and it seems like most if not all of the apps involved require deploying with Windows Phone Power Tools. When I try to use it, it tells me the phone needs an update, and launches the Phone Tools Update Pack which always results in this message: "The update operation did not succeed. You can press Rescan to try reconnecting to the device. The exception code and error message is: 0x80004003 - Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I have not been able to find any information about this particular error, and any assistance would be very helpful. I have already set the phone to developer mode and been able to deploy the root tool, but have been unable to do anything else without the power tools.
[Windows 10 Mobile] sivasatyanandam:
Same problem
[Windows 10 Mobile] DaRealAce:
I think the newest update is buggy. I was trying to do the same and keeps getting the same error. This might help you.
[Windows 10 Mobile] nimbulan:
I'm not sure why the forum only emailed me for the first reply so I'm a bit late seeing yours, DaRealAce. I am not actually using an Insider build right now but thank you, that link did help. It's definitely not the same problem, but I was able to fix mine by using the Interop Tools app linked in that thread. Since that is an appx I was able to sideload it, making vcREG unnecessary. After going through the unlock settings in that app, I was able to deploy the AdBlocker app (my original goal) using the regular WP 8.1 Deployment Tool rather than WP Power Tools, which did not work previously.

Oddly though, somewhere in the process the phone no longer shows up on the PC as a mass storage device.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Operation Ivy:
I don't know what happened but all of a sudden my gs4 stopped working and I could only get it up to the logo before it rebooted again. I am a total noob so I don't have any developer apps or firmware or whatever. I tried using Kies but I get stuck on the serial number part as I have entered everything on the box and behind the battery with none of them working. Now I am trying to use Odin but I think I messed up my phone even more. On the box it says M919NUVUEMK5 so I downloaded the firmware with that same code but originally I had downloaded the NUVUFOK one and used that. So I followed the guide and used that NUVUFOK file, and it seemd to be working as the download bar on my phone was almost done, but then all of a sudden it failed. I figured that was the wrong firmware so I went back and got the MK5 one, but now when I try to do the same thing with this firmware the bar only loads a tiny bit and then stops. Also the phone won't start up properly after I tried this, now it says there is an issue with the firmware upgrade and I need to use recovery mode in Kies. I have no idea what to do or what I am even doing, all I want to do is get my phone working again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Robert417919:
If you live in the US, you can take it to Best Buy an they will use there software to get it working again. Its hell of a lot less work.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AndroidInitiate:
Reformat

Hello. You will need to reformat your device so odin can recognize it. This can be done by using odin to flash a custom recovery like TWRP. The download link for that custom recovery is: https://dl.twrp.me/jfltetmo

Once you have that downloaded open odin and select AP option. Browse to where you saved TWRP and select it. Now proceed with flashing like normal. after its done flashing turn off the device.

After it is completely off hold the power button and volume up button simultaneously until you see the blue words on the top right corner of the boot logo screen.

Now you are in the twrp custom recovery menu. Go to Wipe > Advanced Wipe then select everything except for external sd, USB, and internal storage.

Once it is complete formatting turn the phone off again and boot back into download mode. Now you can reflash the correct firmware for your phone. I recommend using this firmware instead since it is a whole image rather than an incremental update. After flashing this your phone will reboot, give you the loading android logo and then the phone will start up once again! :) Good luck
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] audit13:
The phone is giving the firmware error message because you tried to flash an older firmware to the phone.

Download the latest firmware for your phone and reflash it using Odin and the original Samsung USB cable.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Operation Ivy:
I downloaded it and it worked but now can't get past the "blue words" part. When trying to go into recovery it gives me either of two screens, one says "system software not authorized by samsung has been found on your phone." with red words "secure fail: kernel" or the blue words show up followed by red words that say "recovery is not seandroid enforcing" and then yellow words "set warranty bit: recovery". the phone is still resetting and freezing randomly.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AndroidInitiate:
you are using the T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S4 right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Operation Ivy:
Yes it is the SGH-M919N model.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AndroidInitiate:
You need to boot into recovery holding volume up and power button simultaneously. Once your in recovery mode format it. then you can reflash stock firmware.

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxime506:
Hi,

Usually when we put a foreign sim card into a phone that is locked into a carrier, in my case sprint, the phone will ask me for a unlock code to put in. Strangely when I put another (bell Canada) sum into my new sprint prepaid phone it just remind me that the sim card is invalid but no pop up window to enter an unlock code. There is a website that will generate a unique config.dat based on imei serial and flash in hboot menu. This doesn't work unfortunately. I also paid sunshine to have s-off and changed my cid to the Super one 11111111, still not working.

Now I have sorta crazy idea. There are other variant of single sim roms that may be able to bring up the sim unlock code window but there is no way I can flash it since it always checks my darn model id and present a code 41 error in facebook. Is there anyway I can finally manage to enter an unlock code for my sim because I loved the phone so much.

Thanks!

[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rydn:
Hi.

I have a Z5 Premium, 6.0.1 MM stock with a custom rootable kernel. Device is rooted and unlocked.

Recently i've started to experience a very frustrating issue with the camera, with no other app, just Snapchat.

The front camera works very fine, obviously I don't have the DRM keys but the kernel emulates the DRM key functions. The Sony camera app works fine with the front camera, no issues at all.

But when I open up Snapchat...

There's all sorts of green image tear in the front camera (rear camera works fine). The screen shows very bad greenish stuttering all over the camera tab, the story menu works fine.

It lags VERY much, stuttering to move from one place to another, I don't know where I should post so I thought this would be a good start, I'll try with Snapchat support as well.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimlitebulb3:
I've recently upgraded phones and have decided to root my S5 active. Unfortunately, I am not running the NE4 version of the firmware, therefore, I am not able to use Towelroot. I've done quite a bit of digging trying to solve the problem to no avail. I've tried using Odin to either downgrade my firmware or install a custom/rooted firmware but Odin gives an "Auth" fail. I've done as much research as I can into why I get an auth fail and nothing I've seen suggested has helped. I've tried installing firmware through the SD card, looked into sideloading firmware but that seems to be only for updates as far as I can tell. I am well and truly at a loss and was hoping someone could help.

S5 active

Samsung-sm-g870a

Version: 5.1.1
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
I hate to say it but you are in the same boat I am. There is no root for that. They patched the hole and prevent downgrading.

The only ones that might have been able to break it walked away from Samsung years ago. Sorry. Don't feel bad your not alone.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimlitebulb3:
Surely to god someone SOMEWHERE has figured something out? Maybe I can take it to best buy and have them downgrade the software for me?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It won't work. The updated bootloader prevents it being downgraded. It would take a jtag machine and Samsung to do it.

No. No one has. You have to remember that the best walked away from Samsung. Anyone that tries to break it gets hit with a C&D order.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimlitebulb3:
No I had no idea about that :/

Towel root has something interesting that I saw

https://towelroot.com/modstrings.html

Anybody know anything about this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Can't say I do. I would never use towel root or king/kingo root.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimlitebulb3:
Any particular reason why not?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Security concerns. Mind you that is a personal thing and many people are fine with it. Just not me.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimlitebulb3:
So maybe I could find someone who knows more about them to see if they can do something about this?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Considering no one has been able to be able to crack Samsung locks I wouldn't count on it. I would just accept that it is a locked down device. This is the reason developers Dont buy Samsung devices anymore.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimlitebulb3:
I've shot the creator of towelroot an email asking about mod strings. Hopefully he can explain it a little and help me out. If I find something out I'll let you know but I still am hopeful someone has SOME solution for me. I'm desperate
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Well to be honest. If root is something you need then you should avoid Samsung.

If you find something then cool. I'll never use it. The security issues could get me in trouble keeping with my job so it's out of the question.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimlitebulb3:
The only reason I'm trying so hard is because this is my old phone and I can't really afford much of anything else. If I felt like I had another option, I'd go for it. I have no security concerns, I'm not even particularly concerned about bricking my old phone. If I can't figure out how to root it, it might as well be a brick anyway for how useful it is.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It's still a good device. Even stock. The security concerns are there you just don't understand them completely. As an example. They store your IMEI. Which can be used to clone your device. As such when the oem sees 2 IMEI the same it kills both devices. Making them both not work.

I'll be honest for that device you are gonna waste more time trying to find away around it. ( it will be blocked again with the 6.0 update that is planned for it) then you would just using it as is. Mine is completely stock and works as it should.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimlitebulb3:
I'm honestly not worried about losing the device to something like that. I'm not storing anything particularly interesting on it but I need the root to do what I want. I won't be updating the firmware at all so it'll never go to 6.0
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Well then good luck. You will need it. Also keep in mind with those root you will have to reroot every reboot. That's if he can find a new whole Samsung has not patched, which is becoming harder with monthly security updates.

It is well accepted around here that sooner or later only nexus devices will be rootable or have any development done for it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimlitebulb3:
If I had known that earlier, it could've saved me a lot of hassle but this is where I am right now. My new phone is the S7 edge and I really want to use the S5 active for something else.

No one knows of anyone I can even pay to look into maybe even changing the firmware? No way to load custom firmware at all?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
No. Samsung locked it down. They made it so the bootloader can't be downgraded. You have to understand most of the real good developers walked away from Samsung and now refuse to work on their devices or even buy them. When it comes to developers Samsung is at the top of the list right next to Xiaomi of devices not to get. More and more teams are even dropping all support for Samsung devices. It's just the way it is really.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimlitebulb3:
And since it's a phone the hardware can't be changed either?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
It can be but you would have to find a device that has the old 4.4.4 rom and then swap mother boards. Not easy at all. Let alone the min it gets connected to a cell network it will update anyway.

I know it's a hard thing to do but I would get used to it mainly with the new device you just. Got.

my screen protector review

Name : Galaxy S7 Screen Protector,[2 Packs]by Ailun,Curved Edge-to-Edge Full Coverage,Ultra Clear,Anti-Scratch,Bubble Free,Reduce Fingerprint&Oil Stains,HD PET Film,Case Friendly-Siania Retail Package

amazon link : http://www.amazon.com/dp/B01EWHIMN8

rating : 7/10

easy to install but a few problems.

1.) this said its bubble free but that is not true. once i installed the protector it had bubbles all under it. about 1 hour later with out touch it i saw no bubbles.

2.) the tip top of the phone has some bubble mark but does not effect the case that is on the phone.

3.) if you are like me and want it to be 100% then maybe thats why 2 come with it.

4.) over all the protector is not that bad everything else it claimed seems to be true.

5.) i'm giving this a 7 out of 10 because of the bubble issue , if it was not a issue then i would say its a 10/10 for a film protector.

I have installed many protectors on a bunch of phones mostly 1 shot deals. I would have bought a edge to edge glass one but i did not really like that full body frame look for the protector.

the day i installed this i also installed a SG6 glass protector 1 shot aswell and that was simple as well

Update : JUNE 26 2016

I ordered this : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spigen-Temp...D-Screen-Protector-for-Galaxy-S7/252283522973

I have to say its a horrible protector. after installing the protector on the left and right side of the screen has a line its like the glass was cut backwards.

I did confim the glass was cut backwards as if you take the protector off you can see the glass was cut with the tilt in the wrong way for the glass to fit.

I checked a bunch of reviews and they all have the same problem with the glass. I contacted the seller and want a refund as the glass will not do anything for me

So to anyone out here with a SG7 do not buy this glass

here is a pic of the problem i found a bunch of them online that shows the same problem

The email that i got from them wanted me to send the serial # of the package + a pic of the phone with screen protector before they would issue me a refund. ( They just issued it with out all that )

So to anyone that is looking for a spigen protector do not buy this one as it does not fit correctly and you might not get a refund.

[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] buckyvr4:
So I flashed my wife's phone to TWRP without making a backup of the stock recovery just before T-Mobile released their OTA MM update and now I am tired of seeing the "update available" icon on the screen all the time. Does anybody have a flashable version of the update readily available that will not destroy any of her data partition (i.e. keep apps untouched, but update the firmware) or a link to it? Maybe a copy of the stock recovery so I can flash it back temporarily? Or a third option, make the downloaded update.zip file flashable? I have the update.zip file from her phone if needed if that last one is a viable option; it is only a 147 mb file as opposed to the 1.1 gb the returntostock.zip is.
[LG G Stylo Questions & Answers] tube517:
There is a "Skinny" ROM available that is flashable through TWRP. It's the T-Mobile MM ROM with some minor tweaks.

As far as the data partition, I flashed it clean to avoid any bugs so I don't know how a dirty flash would work.

This time, make sure you do a nandroid backup in TWRP before doing any other flashing.
