[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] t12icky0:
is there a way to install a hotspot app that bypasses the one built into the s7 edge? it used to be possible on the s5 so this is why i ask.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] flyinj54:
Just add this to end of build.prop, reboot and use hotspot built into phone.

net.tethering.noprovisioning=true
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] t12icky0:
no go for that. all it did was cause my phone to have rebooting issues. Vibrates 3 times then reboots now.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Saito209:
And you sure its not because you had packages enabled
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] t12icky0:
Actually what i endedup doing was flashing the g935U firmware. its the unlocked versions firmware. Hardly any bloatware and hotspot is enabled without any changes to the build.prop at all. Fast rom also.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] panku123:
Till now my device was working fine,i changed the phone's theme and left it aside. For checking something I tried unlocking my phone and it suddenly restarted and since then it is restarting again and again I tried everything "The volume down+ Power" and Volume Up+Power for Fastboot and recovery respectively but it doesnt stays at the same screen for more than 2 seconds and restarts every bit and then. I am really helpless.

Any help would be much appreciated.

:crying:

I am also attaching a log file...when I tried using MiFlash in a case when it stayed at the fastboot window for a while..it never finished and all of a sudden after a few minutes it again restarted and the same thing is happening again as I have mentioned above.:eek:
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sssaurabh:
Hello. I got the same problem. It is 100% problem of power button but from inside. I mean to say you need to change power button attached to your motherboard.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] panku123:
ohh...is it totally because of this I am getting this problem or there may be any other issue too...Just to be sure ho much will it cost if I get that button replaced any idea??
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] sssaurabh:
Well if you assume that you have the same problem which i am telling you than it will only take 100 or 150 rupees to replace the button with any good mobile repairing shop. Don't trust if any mobile shop person tell you that they will place the original new button and ask for 400 or 500 rupees. Xiaomi do'n't give their spare parts to anyone. Also don't go to the authorized service center. Because if you don't have warranty than they will take Rs. 280 as inspection charges first. Than they will take other repairing charges depending on servicing of your phone.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] panku123:
let me see if this solves the problem ...thanks.. :)
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] kon30fyllou:
Do you have any news? Was that the problem? Is it easy to change the button? I have exactly the same problem.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] ThaKurTanuJ:
Even I have the same prob...after pressing power button the power off,reboot option blinks nd my phone continued reboot again nd again on putting battery
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] kon30fyllou:
Today my phone worked so i am certain now there is a problem with the power button. I wil change it just to be sure it wont hapoen again.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] ThaKurTanuJ:
How much it cost nd which component to b changed?? Plss rply...
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] kon30fyllou:
I haven't changed it yet. I will try to. The component you have to buy is the volume-power button and it costs around 1-2 dollars. I found it from china in aliexpress.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] panku123:
No news till now...Did a thorough research though...Haven't got power button replaced...phone is exactly the same at it was...continuous attempts were made by me to revive it but cant find anything to work.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] panku123:
Let me know if this solves the problem..I will then follow the same footsteps.
[Xiaomi Redmi 1S] GeekScene:
definitely problem with power button

I had the same problem.

Got the power button replaced internally (something called microswitch) for Rs. 150.

Phone started working normally.

Best part, all phone data was intact.

Thank you so much for your comment.

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] pearlheartgtr:
Last night I had a problem with my home wifi (phone couldn't connect--Authentication error). I rebooted the router and it connected. Then I noticed an hour or two later that my phone was warm and the battery drained about 20%. I charged it fully and went to bed. Six hours later and the battery was completely dead.

Cell Standby is using 60%. I wiped the dalvik and cache in recovery and it's still using 60%.

The phone is on CM13 RR (6/22).
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] iiWoodstocK:
It's a Marshmallow bug that occurs when on Wi-Fi and connected to LTE.

You can alleviate this issue by using an app that automatically switches to 3G like Smart Network (Xposed) or GravityBox's smart radio (Xposed), or by turning mobile data off entirely when on Wi-Fi. By doing thia, Cell Standby won't show that "drain." However, MMS (but not SMS) texts will not be sent or received if mobile data is off, with the only exception being Verizon's Message+ app, which can send and receive via Wi-Fi.

There's some "debate" as to whether or not it actually has any impact to battery life or if it's just a visual reporting issue. Me personally, I see zero negative effects of the Cell Standby "drain." If I turn mobile data off, or use the 3G "fix," my battery life is basically the same as when Cell Standby is showing the "drain."

More in-depth analysis of by Cell Standby "drain" analysis here.

I believe I have solved the problem. I reflashed the .49 update and everything went back to normal.

Does anyone know of an edge to edge screen protector? Matte or tempered, clear so no dark edges.

The one I've got it a matte, but barely covers the screen, it'll cover the actual display, not the edges..

Based in the UK if that matters.

Ive had a bricked g4 sitting around for 3 months now . Hoping we have a updated tool LG up or like LG up that addresses the Unknown model issue that's cause by being bricked while on a Rom and not stick.

I fought tooth and nail over this months ago and no one had a fix for those that Show the Unknown model deetected .

Another words LG UP tool don't work in that scenario for unbricking.
[T-Mobile LG G4] MicroMod777:
If LGup can't fix it, nothing can. Call LG and try warranty replacement as last option.

I did this today I am the second owner and not original even though the device is under warranty for 3 more months. I provided no proof of purchase in the package sent as a second owner I i woudont have this so my only thought is do they realize 3rd party owners may not have proof of purchases .I told the lady who set up the replacement she didn't say much .Youd think regardless of owner they check the imei.. and see has warranty owner ship kinda sorta shouldnt..play a part in warranty repair .I signed a waiver form about it in the email Hope all goes well.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] poli8:
Hi,

I'm having issues with an old Galaxy Note 3.

The story is a friend of mine tried to replace the glass on his note 3 and botched it completely. He destroyed the display and gave up on it and eventually sent it to me completely disassembled(in individual parts)+ a new frame, sans the lcd, but it wasn't cost effective to replace the display so I let it sit and gather experience. He now asked me to retrieve his photos from the onboard storage and here is where I'm stuck.

I assembled the components on the new frame without the lcd and I put the battery in, let it charge for a bit and tried to connect it to the laptop and installed the usb drivers and kies.

The problem is that all the components listed under devices and printers for SAMSUNG_Android are locked, as in I am unable to update or change the drivers. Also, Kies reports being unable to connect to the phone.

The phone buzzes once upon connecting to the pc and the red led comes on(as it does when charging).

Am I missing something important? Should I use the old frame with the broken up lcd? I would really appreciate your help.

Thanks a bunch.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rosli59564:

Sure, I had installed the usb files before Kies.

In the end, I let it charge overnight and it booted. Connected fine after that.

Hopefully this isnt a silly question....

Im digging the new HTC home plugin, but it takes up SOO much screen real estate....

Ideally I just want to get rid of ALL of the tabs except the home tab...I want to get rid of the section of the plugin that has all of the different tabs. I want the clock and the notification portion...but even if I remove all of the tabe except the home one, there is still a section listing the home tab...I want to free up that real estate...

Any thoughts?

I know...kind of hard to explain....

Hello,

I here made some terrible mistake with my Galaxy note3.

I rooted my device and then installed busybox on rails.

Then I installed layer manager.

Then installed theme from Google Play!

applied the theme and then reboot.

Now as my phone reboot.

I saw that now google play is not working it crashes everytime I install any app. Theme is very ugly.

Now as I open the layer manager to remove the theme I saw that it crashes again and again ..... everytime.

Their seems no hope, how I can remove this f****** theme from my device.

please suggest an alternative approach than flashing stock rom via odin!!!

OK so , I'm coming from having an HTC One M7 for the last 2 years to the Sprint A9, 1.60.651.4 , I've already unlocked the boot loader through htcdev, I've downloaded Captain Throwbacks most recent TWRP, but I'm new to Marshmallow,, and I'm seeing all these different things about system/ systemless root, patching boot.img, encryption, and it's all jumbling together and getting me all confused to say the least...

Hey,

I bought an unlocked Sprint phone on ebay to use with Koodo (Canada). Everything is working pretty well except for one thing. Whenever I loose the signal because I go in the subway or anything and then I get back to where the signal is available I still get no service on my phone. Then I activate / deactivate airplane mode and then it's fixed, but I have to do this every single time I loose signal.

Seems some fixes are recognized by Google Play Music and others not.

Star Music Tag Fixer

Cover Art Grabber

Album Art Changer

Or is the only choice uploading to G, fix from there, then sync to the phone?

Hi, I am compiling this guide for rooting the verizon variant. I also hope to fill in some gaps in the other guides.

I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY PROBLEMS YOU MAY CAUSE OR ENCOUNTER

I did not develop this, I'm only telling you how to do it.

Verizon S7 / S7 Edge [Root Guide] SM-G930V SM-G935V

This worked for me on the June Security patch!

Needed tools:

Mod edit: DevHost links removed

SUPER SU (Note Use this one, Play store varient may cause issues)

**THIS WILL NOT FACTORY RESET THE PHONE... BUT BACKUP JUST INCASE**

Flashing the ENG BOOT:

Open Odin

Put S7 in Download Mode(shut of phone then; hold: power, home, volume down; Then press volume up to enter downlod mode)

In Odin click the AP button and select the TAR: SM-G930 ENG BOOT Or SM-G935 ENG BOOT

check the AP check box

Flash the AP TAR

**THIS TOOK ONLY 5 SECONDS TO FLASH FOR ME THEN IT REBOOTED**

INSTALLING ROOT ACCESS:

Unzip the SuperSU zip file into a folder(For me C:\rootS7 )

Next download & unzip the tools.zip attached this is just the adb tools(Took me forever to find just these :p )

Move adb.exe and both DLL in tools.zip into your folder... ie C:\rootS7

Enable USB Debugging in developer options on Phone.

Connect phone and double click root.bat in your folder.

Once finished your phone will reboot

Congrats you have ROOT!!!

Troubleshooting:

Wifi Password lost on reboot:​

Open /system/build.prop

Change ro.securestorage.support to false

reboot

Odin won't Flash right:​

Check that you are in download mode

If you are Factory reset then try again.

Phone is running hot:​

I have not found an official solution: But you can

try

coolify or cpuset
​
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] GeoFX:
Thanks!

Was the overheating issues solved from doing a FDR after the Odin flash? That's what I've read in other posts but wanted to double-check that this was the fix on the Verizon variants.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Argyrus:
There are also some things that you can include to fix some of the bugs.

I redid my current post to reflect some new information.

If you download some type of CPU or Kernel editor you can fix the slow/lag of the phone.

Thanks 2swizzle for mentioning this.

If you want to fix the lag/slowness download any CPU or Kernel Editor or changer.

This one works fine: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=en

To fix the lag

Open up the APP

Go into the CPU settings

Set CPU Governor to ondemand

Apply on boot (You don't have to.)

You will notice that the phone runs fast as ever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] Linooneguy:
Will this process work on the Tracfone G930VL variant? I've heard that it's a variant of the Verizon model, but I'm not sure if the exact same process will work here.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] thekojac:
Just did this myself. Root works fine, and I even got Xposed installed using FlashFire.

A few bugs, though:

1. The WiFi one (easily fixed)

2. A weird VoLTE icon in the status bar

3. Phone shows "Searching for Service" for a few minutes after reboot, even though service is already acquired and working while it's displaying this

4. And the biggest one: CPU governor is set to performance by default, which oddly enough causes the phone to lag like crazy and heat up to ridiculous temps. This is fixed by setting the CPU governor in Kernel Auditor, but still pretty annoying. Hopefully this can be more permanently fixed at some point.

Other than those few things, though, it's working well!
