So i thought i had a back up of my stock recovery on my SD card but it seem i left it on my phone. lol :)

does any on have a back up of the stock recovery for S7 edge ATT (SM-G935A).

been trying to look around cant find the stock recovery keep finding a stock firmware and not recovery.

any help would be appreciated. thx. Would even donate if i worked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] SkyAttacksX:
If I'm not mistaken , the recovery is included in the firmware .
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] bfixer117:
Well when flashing the different recoveries. I was trying to get working it said back up current recovery in Flashify so I did but forgot to move it to my SD card. then i flashed it thats where i was pretty sure that recoveries were different files but written the same way as roms or AP's in ODIN. but then when I went to test it out my phone is stuck in a boot loop with no recovery and I've been trying to use ODIN to try and flash a stock on but it keeps failing.

[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aroy97:
Is there anyway to force LTE band change between bands 13 and 4? At home, I have one bar on band 4, but get 60 dl, and 30 up. However, on band 13 I'll get full bars and get 30 dl, 15 up. I don't use my data at home as I am always on wifi, so this cell standby battery drain is murder. If I reset my data connection it will connect to band 13 initially, but it will then change to band 4. Switching my carrier is not an option as T-Mobile, Sprint, and AT&T get equally crap reception and I'm still under contract with Verizon which ends in October. Maybe then I might think about switching to project fi.

I've seen other threads on disabling certain bands, but those bands are only used by T-Mobile and Sprint, so they are of no use to me. Any ideas?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
There is a thread about 4G/LTE.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=55635555/

Further search the play store for 4g switching apps.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aroy97:
I've seen that thread but it doesn't say anything about removing or blocking certain bands. As for the 4g switcher apps they only have he ability to change LTE modes via CDMA or GSM
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
The last idea, in case you use a Nexus 6.

There is thread with flashable radio's.

Maybe you can find an older radio that doesn't have the bands you don't want.

Yeah, i tried flashing the oldest radio listed and it's still a no go, band 4 still seems to be enabled. :/
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NLBeev:
No more ideas; think it is not possible to disable band 4, without hacking/patching the radio image.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aroy97:
For now I have my connection as 2g whenever I'm on wifi so that should fix the cell standby for now.

I have the same because here in the Netherlands we have the so called 4G. But when I am home (inside) there is bad connection. Phone calls are disconnected frequently.

With 2G very good reception at home.

On the road I switch to 4G when I need internet.

I use an app to quickly switch 2G-4G.

It's a rather old app of CurveFish and is in the play store - 2G 3G -
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] akhil17kr:
I have exact same problem but problem of speed.

There are 3 lte bands 850mhz,1800mhz and 2300 mhz.

2300 mhz has highest speed which i want my redmi note 3 to run on only but in my home it only switches between 850 mhz and 1800 mhz.

Searched a lot but not able to find any guide which allows to lock the frequency to 2300 mhz band only. The signal bar is also 3-4 on 2300 mhz still it connects to 850 and 1800 mhz most of the time unless i am in open area outside house then it switches to 2300mhz band.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flyer_andy:
Use QXDM

Hi - not sure if this is still a topic of interest, but you can use QXDM software to achieve this - you just need to change NV line 6828 to be "4096" decimal value. On the Nexus 6, this is a fairly easy process as you just need to boot to bootloader and select "BP Tools" as your boot-up option and then the phone will be in diagnostic mode to connect to a PC. There's info out there on XDA with more detail, but as long as you can successfully install the Motorola/Qualcomm drivers you can fairly easily restrict LTE bands to whatever combination you'd like.

Be aware - some say this is a risky operation but I've not found that to be the case. But there is a chance of messing up your device if you're not careful.

Take a look at the "NV Calculator" app in the Play Store for additional info on determining decimal values for the LTE bands (you might want to keep band 2, for instance, as Verizon uses that sometimes as well).

Here's more info on this on XDA:

Perhaps you guys know an easy solution within the current PIM (or Pocket Informant) or do I have to use another application or plug-in for this?

Hi guys. Question, I am about to purchase an "unlocked" New 6. Seller says it is ATT and he will include an unlock code. Doesn't every nexus come unlocked? I thought if I simply factory reset without a sim in it it will just default to an unlocked phone... Any help on this would be appreciated. Reason is I can buy it with the factory stickers and screen cover still on it for $200. I think that's a great deal.

with the calibration tool i have managed to correct it to 3 but if i want to calibrate it to 0 and put it on a flat surface the calibration always fails (i think because the offset is too much it can probably correct it 2 points)

[General Questions and Answers] ThorOfKenya:
Hello everyone! I was given a Samsung Galaxy S3(SCH-S968C) from TracFone that belonged to a now-deceased family member. I am trying to recover any pictures or videos on the phone but the phone is password-protected. I've tried different passwords that he had on his accounts but none are going through. I'm now on 8/10 failed attempts before the phone is wiped.

The phone hasn't been used in about six months as the family member moved to a different phone but I'm not certain they moved anything from the old phone.

It won't be a tragedy if we cannot recover but I was to get anything I can from the device.

Thank you for any advice!

I have the same problem. I downloaded 3rd party software but this model was not supported. I have downloaded adb and odin but I don't know how to use them and debugging is not enabled on this device. From what I have managed to piece together, I may have to flash a recovery, then get in to adb and enable debugging or possibly delete the passkey file. Can anyone help a moron like myself save this phone? It is very important to my family. Thanks for any help.
[Xperia Z3 General] CentaXx:
Hey guys,

it seems that every smartphone i own breaks after ~18 months... Now my Z3 is finally gone, i guess.

Problems:

Blurry Pictures, i guess a coating of the lens went off?

One "system UIDs inconsistent" error, since then, whatsapp had "damaged databases" for at least 20 times - factory resettet twice, no difference

REAL bad touchscreen response from time to time. It either doesn't detect inputs at all or thinks you already lifted your finger. Super annoying, especially when typing.

Glas on front AND back is getting loose. The adhesive doesn't hold the phone together anymore

I can shrug off the first two problems (that's something i could have lived with), but not with the bad adhesive tape (??) that doesn't hold the phone together properly. You can look under the screen, it's not that far out (yet!) on the backside of the phone. Has anyone had that problem before? The phone was looked after well, i haven't dropped it, it was ALWAYS in a case. It had a glass screen protector until the touchscreen response got too bad (it didn't get any better after i removed it though).

As for my bad luck, i dropped the phone for the first time ever about an hour ago, since then the power button can't be pushed in properly anymore. The screen survived it miraculously, even though it sticks out quite a bit. I wanted to send it in for repairs next week.
[Xperia Z3 General] oSandmaNo:
I have the back sticking out problem :(. I'm using a case now because the service centre says they need 15 days to repair it
[Xperia Z3 General] Madzix:
I had the same issue with the glass not glued to the chasis anymore. It wasn't sticking out so badly as urs but I took it to repair centre and they repaired it for me. I had also USB charger burn marks on my LCD, so they changed my screen to a new one. I'd recommend you to take it to repair centre. I tried to heat up the adhessive but it didn't work out quite as planed. After the repair it was ok. But then another story happened. WHich isn't connected to this one.

When the glass is lose, you lose the waterproof ability too. The phone can easily take damage from any kind of moisture.
[Xperia Z3 General] CentaXx:
Waterproof ability? Nah, USB seal is gone anyway. It went about a year ago, so i get why there are so many damaged Sony smartphones... They should include a magnetic charging cable in the box. Thanks for reminding me with the screen, the display also has irregular lighting with a corona just above the on screen buttons. Battery runtime also reduced by 50% (9hrs SOT when new; 4.75hrs now after factory reset, i guess they decreased their battery-saving modes with every new android version).

I still have my old red HTC One M7, so repair time won't be an issue. I guess i won't change back to the Z3 but sell it when it's repaired, because it feels too big in my hands and i never liked it quite as much. Funny; I bought the Z3 when i send in my One M7 for repairs (bad camera lens [purple tint], lens cover broke by itself (was not repaired), buttons far to wide inside housing (not repaired) and some other stuff). Every of my 4 smartphones broke after max. 18 months.
[Xperia Z3 General] Madzix:
Yeah, there are quite a lot broken Sony phones, especially in this area(Screen). I completely agree with you about the magnetic charging cable. I had an issue with that also. I've never reached 9hrs of SOT, I've got this phone for like 6 months or so. Never had it more than 6 hours.

About the updates- yeah. As i've heard, it has decreased by every update. The best battery was with KK, but when I bought it, I already had 5.1.1 preinstalled. :( It is a good phone, serves all my needs for sure. Doesn't lagg and so on. THere are few things I dislike about it, the camera is underperforming for such a lense and specs. But not terribly underperforming. Think my recent phone (LG G3 ) was taking better shots. It eventually breaks. I had my phone taken to warranty repair twice. Once for screen getting lose, and the LCD burn marks. And then I took it to warranty repair because my camera became blurry and the focus didn't work at all. I tought it was just a piece of dirt behind the lens. but as it turned out, they repaired the LCD again, the upper firing speaker, the camera module, the magnetic charging module and so on. I may have got a bad unit, but the problems are surreal. I paid so much for this phone, but I have never had so much problems with any phone than with this one... Quite dissapointing to be honest. And I'm thinking about the same as you are... Switching away from Sony. This experience is quite terrifying... :eek::crying:
[Xperia Z3 General] XxCyberHackerxX:
Would you have to pay?
[Xperia Z3 General] Madzix:
I had it too, I didn't have to pay a cent. It is covered by warranty. And the adhesive might get lose by itself. As it did for me.

They should cover anything which isn't damage by your behavior. Like dropping the phone on the ground and so on
[Xperia Z3 General] XxCyberHackerxX:
I guess it depends on the repair center then. I'm shocked they would honor it since its out of warranty. Sony rules!
[Xperia Z3 General] Madzix:
Yeah, As I've heard, they don't act the same in any place. They mostly are very mean. And don't want to help at all. Either they say that you will have to pay for it or just live with the problem. I guess not everyone has like 200$ for a new LCD swap and so on.
[Xperia Z3 General] CentaXx:
Just to be fair, i'd only want to switch back to my One M7 because i loved that phone so much. Also because it still feels too big. The One M7 was even worse, quality-wise.

The Moto RAZR i i had before the HTC worked for a year, only the AUX port was broken and after sending it in, it was ruined (scratched, logo damaged) and i got my money back. Before the Moto, i had an Desire HD that held together pretty well, until the radio went bad. SIM wasn't recognized very often, battery was absolutely DEAD (jumped from 60% to 0% more than once).

What i think is so sad about it, is that you pay ~500€ for a piece of .... that doesn't even hold together for two years. I knew why i didn't sell the "repaired" One M7, you NEED a backup phone these days. Now it's in use for the second time after the Moto G of my girlfriend broke. Probably if they would spend just a LITTLE more on quality than on new features for the next high-end smartphone that has to be released after 6 months i'd be more exited to get a new phone.

I only bought the Z3 because of the battery life (gone with updates) and because i had several friends with Xperias of which none had a problem. :(
[Xperia Z3 General] oSandmaNo:
Its out if it's warranty period. So yes they are charging me. But since they need 15 days, I'm not giving it to them
[Xperia Z3 General] Bäcker:
My backcover became slightly undone (adhesive failing). I also had 2 bright spots (0,5cm diameter) on the left and right bottom part of the LED.

Everything was fixed free of charge, they also gave me a new battery (I asked for a replacement although the old battery was still going strong, but I plan on using this phone for quite a while and the old battery probably had way over 300 cycles)
[Xperia Z3 General] XxCyberHackerxX:
I'm in Florida so anytime I have a problem I have to call customer service and they keep saying they don't do out of warranty repairs anymore. I wish I had a repair center nearby
[Xperia Z3 General] Melhisedek:
Damn you are lucky. No repair for me here as garanty period is over, but I have the exact same issues, forward facing glass is getting undone and I have at least 5-6 bright spots on my screen. Really, really annoying when reading. Any idea if I could get it fixed in some no-name shop?
[Xperia Z3 General] CentaXx:
Surprise... After sending in my Z3 on 18.08., i just got it back and i'm in a moral conflict. They sent me a new unit plus new screen protectors. Service-wise, i'm really stunned. It makes me consider buying a Sony again, just for the service... Unfortunately they don't sell a phone i'd want to have right now.

However, my mobile phone contract runs out in 2 months and i got used to my old HTC One m7 again... So i don't know whether i should (and also want to) use the Z3 again for a longer period of time or sell it in it's new condition and get a new phone in 1.5 months. I'd want to have an S7 or Note 7 - especially the S7 would be plain cheap if i'd get it with a contract. If i sold the Z3, the additional costs of getting the S7 would be covered for 18 months of a 24 months contract period. Hypothetical: If I'd use the Z3 for another two years (won't happen) i'd only save 60€ compared to getting an S7...

Well, i guess those are first world problems. Anyway, i'm really stunned by the service - worst experience yet was motorola when i got back a damaged phone, closely followed by HTC, they repaired half of what was broken on the phone...
[Xperia Z3 General] robogo1982:
Sell the Z3, especially if it's brand new, you could get a good price for it. Then invest that money into something new.
[Xperia Z3 General] MehmetAliCan:
I had this problem too, service replaced my phone's screen and metal case for free because this is Sony's fault.
[Xperia Z3 General] brocnical:
How are any of you guys out of warranty? Mine came with a 2 year warranty in the UK, and it hasn't even been out 2 years yet.

I had to send it to service centre twice. First time digitizer broke, second time replacement screen was peeling away and screen was getting discoloured. Both times also got the magnetic dock port fixed, but I think that was damaged because I was using the wrong insert in the magnetic dock (you need to use the tightest one). I'm a bit disappointed that such an expensive phone breaks this easily, but the service has been excellent.

Hi there,

10240 is not the worst build of Windows 10 Mobile and since we can install it very easily on some devices (Lumia 640, 640 XL and 930) I'm wondering why everyone lost interest in trying to make Astoria work "better" like porting the PlayStore for example.

I for one think it would be still worth putting some effort into it. Just look at the Blackberry guys, they were successful into porting the PlayStore and even got Pokemon Go running. I'm betting there would be a couple of people going back just to play this game.

Unfortunately it doesn't work without the PlayStore (actually doesn't even start, just a black screen).
