[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] aznmode:
Why pull out your wallet from your back pocket, use the other hand to take your card out from whatever slot it's on, hold your walllet with one hand while with the other had making sure you have the card facing correctly so you can swipe or insert it properly, then swipe your card or insert your card in the chip reader (hopefully you won't accidentally leave it if you're in a rush), then when done, open wallet, put card back in with the other hand, put wallet away, then grab your stuff.

When you can just take your phone out with one hand, wake up your phone, swipe up from bottom to launch Samsung pay, approve to use it with your finger print and put the phone next to the magnetic card swipe. When done just put your phone away all with 1 hand.

But if you feel it's all about the same then who cares whichever people use. Having options are always good in my book [emoji106]

Unless you happen to forget your wallet and you have only your phone, without Samsung pay then there's no option but to drive all the way back home. Lol

Samsung wireless pay card. BT 4.1 enabled credit card size device you can keep in your wallet and manage via your phone. Well hasn't been invented yet but maybe Samsung will see my post. [emoji38]

honestly to fight and say Samsung Pay or Android Pay is not easier, faster or just more convenient and safer just means you have chosen to truly hate on the future process and don't want to be convinced. too that I say sorry you feel that way and I hope you rewind your vhs tape before taking back to blockbuster. :D

So may samsung pay screwd me.

It said i had the $20 gift card. And it would be added to my account.

I open up samsung pay and it just ketp closing out.

Rebooted and samsung pay loaded but no gift card.

Click > more > promotions > $20 gift card >View details.

Says i already claim it. I also have an email with a ref number.

But no gift card in account.

Call samsungs, they tell me to do the same thing i just did.

Then take down all my information and says to reset the samsung pay app. (Clear data)

Still no gift card and none it says sorry your not eligible.

So that blows. No word back from samsung.

No gift card on my account.

No way to do anything with the ref number i got for the card.

Took me three minutes to get the card reader deep in the machine to get the mst signal from phone, but I got it. Table card reader at Applebee's is deep.

Even get it to beep on a fuel pump reader in the machine.

Ah. My point. I use it everywhere that doesn't suck your card in. I like that I am not using my credit card number and info outright in the transaction...and in the case of the chip reading machines, I get to bypass that slow thing with a quick press of the back of my phone on the strip reader

Just used it at ikea. I was already holding my phone to have her scan my ikea family card, so all I had to do was swipe up to launch Samsung pay, scan finger, tap phone to their reader. Bam done! So cool and so fast. And I got my $20 Samsung gift card added.

For those who haven't used Samsung pay you can also add any of your membership cards. So no need to take your wallet out for that either. Unless you're at Costco lol.

Just went to the gas station at 11 at night as I realize the 20 bucks expires tomorrow. No matter how rich I get, I'll never pass up free money. The transaction failed. I used my fingerprint to unlock the "card" and placed it to the terminal. The terminal then asked me if it was debit credit etc. Tried both, neither worked. Used my card. Luckily when I left I got a message from Samsung that I received the promo money. But what gives? Did I do something wrong?

googling it will tell you what it does and how to use it, but wont answer what the OP was asking. he wanted to know if there was something else going on - something special he was over looking
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] playya:
sure it will cuz when you google it you will more than likely find stories and testimonials of people using it. then from there you will find other threads similar to this one and you will be able to see what others see and here it comes draw a conclusion. I mean other than that you gotta use IT! Whether I tell you whats special here there are other threads with same info
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] seeking:
but youll never know if you "found" the hidden treasure or not. using samsung pay anywhere wouldn't throw any alarms myway as being special, but hearing people directly answer the question lets me or whoever else know that yup thats it.

I used it at a gas station with a POS that was pretty new. Does it ask you to your pin on the POS after you tap?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] playya:
I use my CC at any POS machine and remember it wont work at the pumps themselves. Although I have read someone got it to work there but its difficult since you have to put your full card in there.

After it reads your phone which may take you moving along the strip to find that sweet spot you then choose debit or credit like I said depending on what type of card you have.

Go to a subway, dunkin donuts or mcdonalds to test it out for the first time. Also do you have a code to use for your $5 reward
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] thatisandwas:
I used the one that was posted earlier in the thread. It's funny, even though the transaction failed I still got the 20/5 dollars. To be clear, I wasn't at the pumps, I was inside the store.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] playya:
which means the transaction went through on their end. It has happened to me before. Sometimes the people in the stores dont know what to on their end, I experience this at the grocery store
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] thatisandwas:
Do you think I may have gotten double charged? Guess I should check..
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] playya:
check probably not but to be safe I would check....Probably as far as the app and Samsung Pay is concerned it worked. Look at your phone and the credit card you used, it will show if you have any purchases. I am talking about pulling up Samsung Pay and opening up the card, underneath the card it shows purchases made
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] aznmode:
Some if not all dip style card readers have a switch to activate the magnetic head. The way it works is your card will hit the switch when you push in your card and when you pull it out is when it reads the mag stripe. Samsung pay will not work on these readers unless you put a card in first to activate the magnetic head. I know this cause I work for an small ATM company which manufacture dip style readers.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pete4k:
Thanks for telling us, so am I correct in assuming that putting piece of plastic or cardboard inside card reader would activate it and it would work? Because if that's the case the fix is trivial and it would make Samsung pay compatible with pretty much any CC reader?
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] thatisandwas:
Just went to quick trip and used the Samsung gift card, worked flawlessly. Guess it was just that janky gas station.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] aznmode:
It depends on where the switch is. We have 2 card readers where one the switch is an inch away from the slot and another is all the way at the end so you have to insert your card all the way in. And yes anytime I hit these switches then Samsung pay works on our units.

It is a neat thing to use but in the end I am shipping my note 7 back to tmob and going back to my V10. Had enough issues with the device to just say **** this for 800 dollars. Maybe try it again in a few months.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pete4k:
Cool, so in case it doesn't work I just take my health card, which doesn't have magnetic strip to confuse anything, swipe it like a credit card with phone right above and it should work.

Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] aznmode:
By then though you might as well use your actual card.

By the way guys it works at Target too.

Can't wait to do this with my watch. People will be floored.
[T-Mobile Note 7  Questions & Answers] pete4k:
I may be wrong, but I think Samsung pay is more secure? I had my credit card number stolen in the past, so usually used cash for anything bellow $50, especially small places, like gas station. Also once I put everything on phone, may not need wallet anymore. one more transaction and I get my $5 dunkin donut coupon, lol

[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrecklesswun:
And with that, i can only flash the phone using what's local since i cannot connect via usb, and i'm also stuck on lollipop and want to upgrade to MM. Is there a zip that i can use to flash to MM, and still keep root at the same time?

Any help is greatly appreciated.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vouty:
Use your computer to put files on a micro SD card. Put card in phone.

OR

Use one of many wifi file transfer apps on play store. Sambadroid is a good one.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrecklesswun:
The issue is not getting the files to the phone, i can use google drive, etc... once there how can i upgrade to MM, because the usb port is fried and i cannot hook a cable to it.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Double0EK:
You can use Eliminater74s rom and just flash it using TWRP. There's a Part 1 & 2.

Read his OP on what to do and dont mix V20E with V20J ... Read before you flash anything. If you have any doubts then ask or re-read everything again.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skywalker-live:
That's the bad part. You can't boot with root without 'fastboot oem unlock', which is done with a usb cable. For more info read up on the root process of the first MM update, 20e. (http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-lg-v10...1v20estock-customized-t3360240/post67328874). To me it sounds like you are stuck on LP to stay rooted.

So the phone is on LL and rooted - hwowver usb won't work with port fried. i have twrp on the phone, i was more looking for a zip i could use to upgrade LL to MM using twrp to flash.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skywalker-live:
The upgrade to MM relocks the bootloader (either .zip or .kdz), to unlock the new bootloader you unfortunately need a usb cable. Early updaters that used the .zips couldn't boot locked bootloaders with root. Unfortunately (for you) to use MM with root you need to unlock the bootloader with fastboot all over again.
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrecklesswun:
theres no wireless adb or fastboot? i've unlocked and rooted in LL - so you're saying it relocks in MM? Also i can't follow - which do i need, lhave a v10 and can't find info on whether i have a E or J. If this is in waste, i may buy a new phone, issue is whats comparable these days?
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrecklesswun:
so in current state, if i flash MM V10_H901_V20E_Stock_MM_Rooted-signed.zip (i assume this is just a stock whole package, during this process it will relock the phone, and because its mm, i will not be able to use the phone, or can i still use the phone maybe go into twrp and run the unlock command?i mean if there is no way, then i'm stuck @ 5.11, and time for a new phone
[T-Mobile LG V10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skywalker-live:
That file is only part2 of the V20E zips. V20J is just the second MM update from LG. I am in the middle of resetting up my V10 after my own upgrade from LP to v20J MM, and yes i needed to use fastboot with a usb cable to re-unlock the bootloader as instructed by the part1 zip. So to say lightly, your V10 is stuck on LP, unless you send it somewhere to be repaired. If you want MM WITHOUT root you could flash the kdz, which will also leave your data intact if done as an upgrade, or wipe if done as refurbish. (rooting a kdz flash can only be done with a usb cable.)

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MaybeRichard:
On a H815 (LG G4). I did a factory reset, and ended up with the "This device was reset to continue, sign in with a Google account previously synced on this device." message. When trying to sign in, it loops back to my login and tells me to use an account previously used on this device.

Google recognises this account as the previous owner as this phone as proven by the Android Device Manager.

On the internet it was written that this Device Protection thing could be postponed if both my password and phone changes within 72 hours, since it could mean that someone stole my phone. 72 hours have passed, and not just that, my password hasn't changed since July (a month ago).

I have contacted LG. They have explained that this is a Google server problem, there's nothing they can do since it's all Android. The best I could find was call a local employee who knows Google Play a bit but had no authority to do anything. Ideally I'd like to talk to someone with Google who can fix this for me. Unfortunately Google does everything it it's power not to have to talk to customers. Is there someone who knows how I can reach someone knowledgeable about this? Maybe someone knows how to fix this problem with selfhelp? I already tried flashing a new stock rom. Don't know how to flash CyanogenMod without USB Debugging or TWRP.

Hello,

I don't know if it's just me but has anyone ever experienced volume increasing and decreasing when switching applications?

Whenever I'm listening to music on Poweramp I would normally need to set the volume to 85 percent in order to have a comfortable listening experience, when I switch to YouTube it gets deafening loud! When I switch back to Poweramp it goes wayyyy down... is this a feature if so can it be disabled?

Thanks

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mayday_Alter:
Hi there,

I owned a T705C tablet which is China variant. No matter how I tried I cannot flash any aosp based rom into my tablet. Every time I get stuck at "patching system images unconditionally" when I try TWRP to flash a rom. I switched to abd sideload command to transfer rom from my computer, only to find that every rom stucks at 43% and won't progress any further.

Anyone has any idea to resolve the issue?

From my experience the China variant phone only gives you TD-lte support, every other specs remain the same. I flashed cyanogenmod into my note 3(N9008, also China variant) no problem with that.

Thank you so much for your kind help;)

[General Questions and Answers] the_calculator:
Hello, I own an mtk device - Tecno boom j7-

Rooted, but running stock ROM ( android v4.4.2). 1gb of Ram and 16gb of Rom. It is a good device, however the manufacturers have refused to release an update for it. As it is not so popular, there are no forums for it or custom ROMs. I really want to upgrade my device to at least android 5.1, so I have decided to take matters into my own hands by "building" my own custom ROM (FROM AOSP), as I know that another device's ROM cannot be flashed for it (learned that the hard way :D ). However, I do not know how to go about getting and modifying the source code to work on my device. Since this is a device specific question, any tips or pieces of advice would be much welcome.

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] northwindtrades:
Building a custom ROM takes time and a lot of internet data.you're better of porting roms as there are a whole lot of ROMs for mediatek especially 6582/6592

I believe your phone is mediatek 6582 with kernel version 3.4.67 ,if so you can simply port ROM from sites like mtkroms and flash it on your phone

You're right about you can't flash another phones ROM (there are a few exceptions that are irrelevant here) ,but you can port( I,e make some ROMs that's are not for your phone but has the same soc and kernel version run on your phone)

There are a lot of guides about doing it

Good luck

P.s there are custom ROMs already available for your phone:p

[Xperia Z3 Compact General] braveally:
So my Z3compact is on its last legs and I'm noticing that the issues I've had with this device are the same I've experienced since owning rhe Xperia Z. I've gone from Z to Z3 compact and with accessories from the mw1 to the sbh52. Across all devices I've experienced the following:

Phone:

port covers degrading and needing to be replaced.

Wifi connection issues (that come and go every few months)

Overheating leading to phone bending (my z3c back just cracked twice because of this I suspect)

For the Sony Bluetooth:

Degrading connection over time. It gets harder to connect or maintain a connection to phone

Multi point functions failing

Firmware updates contributing to these issues.

Has others using their phones and accessories over the last few years experienced this consistently as well?

Not sure if I want to upgrade to the X series because of these persistent issues.
[Xperia Z3 Compact General] bookworth:
Its easier to buy a cheaper phone that can be considered as disposable than SONY "high-end" device.
