[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 90c4:
Cracked my screen on my rooted S4 which was running Hyperdrive and was given a friend's old S4 that has 5.0.1 on it. I rooted with Kingoroot and I'm still running the stock rom, which I don't have a problem with. I would like to use my phone as a hotspot by hitting the hotspot icon but I have Verizon's unlimited data plan and when I click on the icon it says I'd have to pay a subscription fee. I can use FoxFi but I don't like dealing with the extra step - just wondering if there's a way to easily fix this by flashing a module or if it really requires a full rom flash. I haven't even looked into custom roms that run 5.0.1, but I really don't mind the stock one. Flashed the OF1 tether module but still getting the subscription screen. Any advice?

Hi all, installed my first custom rom yesterday, don't remember if i specifically disabled the stock weather app during aroma install or if the maker just didnt include it, but i dont have it right now and I actually really liked it. Is it possible to install it separately after the fact?
[LG G Flex 2] Tarbruh:
Hey guys im looking to buy a new phone but not having a large amout of money to spend im looking for something cheaper so i found the LG G flex 2 for about 200 eur new not 2nd hand and i was wondering if its any good does it lag.I saw that it is packing the snapdragon 810 with adreno 430 so it must be pretty smooth and im wondering if i should buy the g flex 2 or the lg g4.Difference is 100 eur but if performance is good im ok with it not bothered by the better camera and display.
[LG G Flex 2] petraru1:
The display is a bit grainy at low brightness (because of the p-oled), the camera is ok, but no raw or manual controls from stock camera app, the performance for me is spot on, i play 2 hours / day of vainglory and there is no lag or heating. The major disappointment is the locked bootloader wich translate to 0 development. The phone has 6.0.1 Marshmallow but i think this will be the last update for this phone. If you are ok with the curent software buy it. I never had an issue with this phone and for 200 euro its really a steal.
[LG G Flex 2] Tarbruh:
Well im coming from an S3 Neo im looking for great performance in games ok camera and yeah i agree it is a steal i can buy it for 200 eur and other phones even for 400 like the Galaxy a7 and alpha pack lesser specs.And the other phones with snapdragon 810 are sony z3+ and oneplus 2 and their price is 100-150 more.So i think i will buy it
[LG G Flex 2] Masteryates:
Personally, If you can find a G4 at a similar price, (not that I think you can,) I'd go for that. On the H955, the 2GB Ram is a little low and the camera refuses to focus correctly in low light, (Compared to my G2.)

What ever you do, don't be tempted by the H950 which has 3GB Ram. Getting that thing updated is a total nightmare and you pretty much have to be on US soil with a US AT&T sim card. :crying:

If I was buying a new phone today, I'd probably pay the extra for the Nexus 6P. :angel:
[LG G Flex 2] Alecia1212:
i think g4 would be a better choice.

the g flex 2 performance isn't constant.

i mean its blazing fast at normal temperature but when it heats up (rarely happens) then it starts lagging alot (leaving the phone for 5 to 10 minutes is enough to cool it down). and also 0 development thanks to evil locked bootloader.

still 200 for such a powerful eye catching design phone isn't bad either.

if u r not a heavy gamer then this is best phone for 200.

the p-oled display is good for media consumption.

i am not a heavy gamer so i am very satisfied with my flex 2.

do not buy this phone if u r a really heavy gamer or if u want a good camera.

atleast my flex 2 isn't good at these two things.
[LG G Flex 2] Pungasul:
Well my H955 is pushing 1 year of tinkering mods and tweaking and here are some pros and cons:

-Superb P-OLED display( I just like it more than the G4 display,especially in Vivid mode)

-its a gaming beast with proper tweaks( probaina thermal config file)

-Camera is brilliant in excellent and good quality conditions,but becomes way worse at night or in low light

-Battery life is average or even below on 5.1.1 but becomes good on MM(4-5 h SOT)

-Lack of development

-Lack of regular updates

-Although on MM the phone is blazing fast in UI,gaming is horrible due to heavy throttling to the point that almost any 3d game becomes unplayable.

Bottom line,I think this is a great phone to have,cheap too,and it could be heavenly with root on MM and maybe Cyanogenmod.

And yes,the phones can heat up really bad,but not at all times.I noticed that ot stays just slightly warm when playing Asphalt 8 on max settings but it overheats a lot in games like Subway Surfers and Angry birds 2( soo strange isnt it?)
[LG G Flex 2] adds08:
I wouldnt recommend it..

U can try xiaomi /Huawei etc ... Xiaomi redmi note series..honor 8 or honor 5x..

Maybe add more to buy nexus 6p or nexus 5x..

This phone is total crap without bl unlock..
[LG G Flex 2] colinn:
How do I get 6.0.1 on the G flex 2? I'm on 5.0.1

thanks
[LG G Flex 2] bonebeatz1234:
Stay away you better off getting the zte zmax pro for 100 $ and save 100. The screen is not that great and battery life is poor . The screen doesn't last long i had the phone replaced 3x times before i said enough with the phone. It was a opportunity missed for lg. They should of kept it at 6inches and used the g4 camera in it. This phone left a bad impression on me with lg
[LG G Flex 2] Brewn:
If LG would provide for regular security updates I would recommend this phone. Sadly, they do not. Officially this phone is still stuck at Lollipop with a security patch level of 01/2016. You can manually flash MM to bump the security patch level to 05/2016, but it's still outdated.

Other than that the phone is great. I think LG already abandoned the Flex 2.
[LG G Flex 2] YourComrade:
Unfortunately its not worth it. Display is grainy,some models have yellow marks,battery is pretty weak too, only 2h max SoT i managed to do,but some reported much more. But it has no lag,it doesnt overheat and performance is very good. If you buy 16GB model,be aware that only around 8 gigs or so are available,i dont have games installed but still only around 2 gigs free (yes,you can install on SD card,but after each update it goes againto internal and not every app supports it). Also big drawback are updates, flagship model of 2015 and we received MM after 3/4 year delay,with old security patch and since then nothing, worth to mention that not every GF2 was updated. So if you dont mind these things then go for it,its still dope phone tho.
[LG G Flex 2] Brewn:
No, we still do not have any "official" MM. Just a developer version that LG seems to tolerate. Again, this might be a sign they are not working on a final version anymore.
[LG G Flex 2] cranknet:
Don't buy it and if you decide to buy check if its refurbished first.

Hi All,

Need help on how to fix my wifi connection. I received the August 2016 update on my s7e and after installing it, seems that any app I open that needs wifi connection tooks forever to load like youtube and instagram. When I tried to switch on my LTE, everything is loading fine. And tried it also on office wifi, seems everything is fine also. Connection at home works well with other devices. its just slow on my phone after the update.

tried to change the channels on my ac router but still encountering the same. i tried also to forget the wifi on my phone and connect again, reset network settings and still having slow connection.

Please help what other things i need to try to restore the wifi connection. I'm avoiding the restore factory settings as it will took a while for me to restore everything on my phone.

Thanks!

Samsung had said it may have replacements as early as this week.

That is true. Just got off phone with Verizon this morning they stated new note 7 will be in stock next week
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] dadsterflip:
That's cool. Well another week of hoping everything is good lol.

I am sure there are note 7 already made from the atl factory. So those i assume will be the replacement this week if so.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Dodge DeBoulet:
Per the discussion I had moments ago with a Verizon rep for their on-line store, September 17th is the expected date for new (non-exploding) Note 7 inventory.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] jefe1955:
I've been told by a rep from Samsung that the Note 7 replacements were received by Verizon stores today. I am going to the closest store today to hopefully get a new phone. The phone number set up by Samsung for the Note 7 replacement issue is 1-888-987-4357.

UPDATE 03:02 PM: I just checked with the closest stores to me and no replacements have been received.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] ars0n:
Can you confirm? Just spoke with verizon and they said they had 0 shipments in for replacements.

[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Froztvolt:
Look guys, there has been no actual information from samsung in regard to this incident quite honestly its gonna be a minute they have to re-product a few million Note7's so them getting it done in a few weeks is fantastic but we all have to take into account with a production this fast

what other problems are going to pop up, also if the quality is going to be the same?

with that being said I manage a location and the reps are not misinformed there are not informed because none of our stores have been updated after us allowing them all to be returned damaged or not. now if the reps you are speaking with no professional enough (a bad apple) then ask to speak with another or the manager, we are all about our customer service.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] jak341:
I talked to the manager at a VZW 3rd party retailer and that's pretty much what he said. There has been no official process handed down from Samsung, nor VZW, regarding the exchange of a Note 7 to a Note 7.

He said the only official process handed down is the waiver of re-stocking fees to the 30th and exchange to a S7 or S7 Edge.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] eriscat:
Annoyed

To be absolutely clear - I would not expect them to have a new phone in my hands today - I do expect them to have figured out a plan before now, communicate the plan via the media and contacting their partners (aka Verizon) and their customers (aka you and me). I don't find it acceptable that I have to send them the phone back and then they will reimburse me and then I can purchase a phone. Their problem, make it easy for me to cope. Don't make it my problem.

I love my Note 7. I love the dumb stylus that I didn't want to like. But today, I am angry and I am not good at being angry.

Sorry, I needed to vent with folks who likely understand/empathize and frankly probably feel the same way. I will go back to being supportive and reasonable in a little bit.

[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Mr. Toad:
So now that I got an email telling me to turn off the phone I went to the Verizon store. They had no loaner phones. The only thing they could do is let me get a new phone at full retail and waive the restocking fee.

I called Samsung. They took my information and said go back to the Verizon store in 24-48 hours. They should then have a loaner phone.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] coton:
I went to Verizon store today and they exchanged my Note 7 for a Samsung S7 Edge, but it is not a true exchange, I have until Sept. 30 to exchange again with no fee for the Note 7 when they arrive. If it should happen that the Note 7 replacements are delayed beyond Sept. 30, they will extend my exchange period until they arrive. The manager of the store gave me his card and cell number and wrote down the terms for me. He guaranteed me that I will get one of the Note 7's when they arrive, no matter how long it takes for their shipments to arrive.
[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] Mr. Toad:
They offered that for me. My problem is I still have unlimited data. I use every loophole to stay in contract and still have my data at $29.99. I can't just return and re-buy at the store. I explained that to the manager. This was the best suggestion he had until the replacement arrives.

[Verizon Note 7  Questions & Answers] guthrien:
I basically had same experience, grab any phone, we'll change it on your account and you're guaranteed a Note 7 no matter how long it takes. Which to me is barely a 'loaner'. They were nice but incredibly ill informed. There was no system for making sure you get yours before new customers, and Verizon has publicly said their first shipments will be less than what they are expected to replace per a news report I watched today. Basically, you're going to have to do detective work and show up before other people. Incredibly disorganized, though again, my store was very nice.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Blysterk:
Hola,

I wuold like to do an awesome thing, but i don't know how to do it.

I tried more roms with the UX 5.0 and they are really awesome, but not stable. So I come back to the stock rom, and I discovered to miss an awesome function of control panel of UX 5.0 .

The function to use toggles when the screen is locked with a password. In stock version with a password, opening the control panel from lockscreen, you can see only the users of android. Instead on UX 5.0 you see toggles, and you can use some of them without unlock the lg. For example you can turn on the flash, control the brightness, volume, etc..

Before post here, i tried to make a zip flash with lge-res.apk and LGSystemUI.apk a rom with UX 5.0, but it doesn't go beyond the bootanimation.

I thought to replace those apk because I opened some Themed UX 5.0 zip for the control panel for get wich file I had to use, but obviously it didn't work.

So, my question is : Does somebody know the right file/apk related to the control panel that i can try to replace from UX 5.0 to the stock?

When we get it, will "Smart Swich" do the job, Kies doesn't seem to want to back me up.

Perhaps best just to start clean again?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] fenderguy05:
When I first set up my Note 7 I used smart switch and within a week I did a factory reset because of some insane battery drain. I'm paranoid of that happening again and will probably just set it up, and load everything from the cloud after initial set-up completes.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ScottLive5:
So it's a cloud restore vs. a clean install. Just planning for the best way to go when I get my replacement.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pete4k:
Most of my stuff is already on SD card, when I moved my files from previous phone, so it's just settings and installed programs, so I may take few screen shots to help in the future settings, maybe do back up to cloud, but probably do manual restore. Google has option, where any new phone will have all your programs automatically reinstalled, but my kids have couple tablets registered on my account and I don't want their games on my phone (already been there). If I figure how to manually mark programs for reinstall, I may use that. Either way no big deal.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] fenderguy05:
When restoring the phone there should be an option for you to see & select apps you want to install on the new device.

You can also go to the play store, under my apps and remove ones you don't want associated with your account any longer, and I believe they'd disappear from the list of apps being installed on the new device.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] ScottLive5:
I'm debating whether to do a clean install and not use the cloud or any other restore option. Don't want to bring in any "cruft" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cruft
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] fenderguy05:
That was the reason I opted to manually download the apps once setup was completed. I was trying to limit any "cruft" myself and my phone ran a lot better the second time around. Probably had nothing to do with the fact that I did it this way hahaha
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] pete4k:
Sorry, I should have said easier, you're right you can delete them etc. but there has to be 400 to 500 of them on my account, probably want maybe 40-50 for now, so probably easier to manually download 50 than delete 350 to 450 LOL.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
I will backup to Samsung cloud, but I have never used Samsung cloud before so I don't know how the reinstall works on the new device. In all my past devices I rooted them first thing after activating then used titanium and installed all my apps AND data (the data is the hard part to migrate) to my new device. This time I came from a Dev edition Note 4, rooted, but with no root (at the time) on the N7 I opted to try Helium. Helium was able to migrate almost (there were a few that didn't) all my apps and data from my N4, to my dropbox, then on my N7 I installed the apps and data from my dropbox using Helium. I let the texts and that kind of data stay with my N4 - I have probably 50K of various texts over the almost 2 years I had my N4. Didn't want all of that migrated over, started fresh on the N7. So I will be using Helium again. It will take probably a day to get things set up on my new N7 like it is on this current N7. Yes, it's a PITA, but there really isn't much choice. I could keep this N7, and according to samsungs website where you can check the IMEI to see if your phone is one of the effected ones with a battery issue, mine is not, but still I think I should do the swap if it is available. I am concerned if I don't that Verizon and/or Samsung could say they will no longer warranty or cover the phone since I didn't swap it out. Right now Verizon has no N7's to swap to (I called them last night, they don't have any), so I will wait until they do then switch over to the new N7 then.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] adenicol:
So I used Helium when I moved from my last phone to my Note 7. It took me about a week and a half after that to get everything the way I want it and I rather not go through that again. When I use Helium it shows that about 1/3 of my programs can not have their data backed up, things like: skype, paypal, Nova Launcher, Samsung Pay, etc. I know if I root the phone I can use Titanium backup to do a full backup of all the apps and data but I don't want to risk putting a Sprint Rom on my phone and loosing everything and I don't I like loosing the ability to use some of the programs that won't work if the phone is rooted (like Samung Pay).

Is there an alternative program that will grab all these programs and their settings or is root my only option? And is there a temporary root option as I would only need it for one session on each phone (one to back up and once to restore)? I know this isn't the forum for the root question but it all goes together with getting my phone mirrored to my new one when it comes in.

What is This?

Yes I know there are tons of drivers Installers around but this is more..

This is a Standalone version of the drivers installer from the SkipSoft Unified Android Toolkit.

--DRIVERS--

There are a selection of driver packages you can install to suit all devices (google, cwm universal, samsung and oneplus). There is also lots of help and information on what to do if the drivers don't work properly. A test routine/checker is available which will attempt to detect the plugged in device (and reboot to fastboot mode and back on google/nexus devices) to verify the drivers are working. Tools are also included to remove unwanted drivers if a fresh start is needed.

--ADB/FASTBOOT--

The Adb/Fastboot installer (Android Debug Bridge version 1.0.36) can install System-Wide (for all Users on the PC) or for the Current User Only. This is a very simple installer and means you do not have to download the complete SDK from google. You can also easily open a command prompt to send commands to your device.

Hey there. Thought I might ask here.

Recently updated to 7.1.1 on my Nexus 5x and now fastboot is not working. Have spent most of the day trying everything I can find on here and installing or uninstalling drivers on both my laptop and desktop with no joy.

Tried all the options within your software but no joy. Adb works ok but fastboot just will not work.

I realise this is not an issue with the software but wondering if you may know of something else to try.

36 hours now on an unrooted phone is the first time in years :)
