[K3 Note Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaptainXL:
Hello XDA Developers!

So, my friend has the Lenovo K3 Note and he asked me to find a custom ROM or an official update to Marshmallow (cause i rooted the device).

And i found this site with the OTA update rootmygalaxy.net/download-lenovo-k3-note-android-6-0-marshmallow-ota-update/

But when i went into recovery mode to flash the update (via stock recovery) i stumbled upon this foreign language.

Can anyone translate it to me or tell me what to select to update the device?

Thanks! :laugh:

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] Kash:
I am using kodi on my S7 edge and use smartview to watch it on my Samsung Smart TV. It connects fine but as soon as I turn my phone screen off the TV signal also goes. Is there any way around this. On my iPhone I used casting apps to cast videos, is this possible with kodi?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] tele.incognito:
I have SM-G920A from US, AT&T. I suppose, it has been unlocked before re-selling. Was working fine in Europe (Lithuania) on a local network for two months. But after no visible impact (no physical damage, no flashing etc) it has lost IMEI and networking. My guess - it happened after an automatic update. Is there any chance to regain IMEI? (no back-up was made before)

I have checked the IMEI on various sites - it seems to be not blocked, clean.

Right now I have such information:

Firmware's CSC Code: ATT

Bootloader Version: G920AUCS4CPG1

PDA Version: G920AUCS4CPG1

CSC Version: G920AUCS4CPG1

Baseband Version: [empty]

Android version: 6.0.1

Build Number: MMB29K.G920AUCS4CPG1

IMEI: [empty]

Android Serial Number: 03157df3d063aa03

Samsung serial number: R38G30Q4CBA

I would very appreciate your help, guys! Could it help to re-instal G920AUCS4CPG1 via Odin? Any other solutions?

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pdkellett:
I read in the TYTN II wiki that if you hold down the End call button for a few seconds it will lock the screen for you. But it doesn't seem to do it on mine (Vodafone v1615 ROM). Do I need to do something else first to enable this?

I have an S710 too and it locks on that one no probs after holding down the end call key.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Lidberg:
I have the Tilt. Holding the End Call button disconnects my data connection.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] lewcamino:
There are ROMs that have this feature. Dutty's is one of them. There is also an app in the ROM that lets you switch what holding "end" does. But the app does not seam to change anything. On Dutty's holding the "end" button locks the device.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
So with all of this I have a bad taste for Samsung. Not the Note 7 because it is a real marvel of a phone, but the company that kind of down played this recall and now is fixing things in the 11th hour. No matter the %, 92 isn't 37 and I hate when companies go half way on ownership.

To that end I pre-ordered an Iphone 7 plus 256GB in jet black. For the meantime while my Note sat in a drawer, I wound up using a spare new Iphone 6 that my helpdesk guy had laying around. I made things my own by adding cards to apple pay, using a hack to get icons to move down and to the right, using the IOS 10 widget panel, GMAIL, Google cal, Google Play music, news stand etc. Here is why I need help...

Iphone Cons-

No Customization and hacks to do simple things (but then, do I actually care about that anymore)

Screen is not as nice as the Note 7 (But its damn good and I notice no resolution difference. In some ways the screen is more accurate on the 7 plus based on me seeing it on the 6s plus)

The phone is huge for a 5.5" No denying that

Apple pay is NOT Samsung Pay

No Wireless Charge (whatever because I can get a dock but its just so easy)

Back button still ****ing annoys me

Notifications are better in IOS 10 than ever but still less than that of Android

EVERYONE HAS IT

Dated physical design

No QC

Makes me feel like a woman hipster with a giant manbun

Iphone Pros-

Smooth as **** (and will be in 6 months while my note surely wont be)

Touch ID is still better than the fingerprint on the note or the iris on the note

Gonna last as long on a charge even with a 2900mah battery

Multi-task is finally better and while not google, I ask you to tell me why I would care if the outcome is identical when navigating between apps

Design while old feels really smooth, premium and aluminum is less fragile for sure

IOS10 is the first IOS I don't really mind

Google services make IOS great and in 10 you can hide factory apps

Probably a slightly better camera now

A10 Fusion is fast as hell and on their software will more than likely lap the Note even from day 1 with real life use. Definitely in 6 months though

Cases are generally better and more premium

Swiftkey makes IOS also usable

Touch ID is so fast and never misses my finger. ID integration in each app

Apps are cleaner, more sophisticated looking and have features my android apps don't

God I am getting old, but everything just works and while tinkering is fun, I find myself not missing it in IOS anymore

Raise to wake takes care of the AOD need for me

Bluetooth audio and BT battery management are exponentially better than the note

So here is the truth. I feel awful leaving android, but I have now used the iphone even the smaller older one and its still fast and smooth and enjoyable. So I know you are all heated about the topic, all generally Andy fans but I ask as a fellow techy who is getting old with a couple of kids, what the **** do I choose.

P.S. Please don't bring up S pen because its not a factor for me.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] alltaken123:
I have a replacement Note 7 and it's like butter.

No lag and such a difference. Then you can go further, a Note 7 without lag, smaller bezels than the iPhone 7 Plus my headphone jack (Sorry, couldn't resist) and the ability to cutomise until my heart is content.

Enjoy your iPhone it's a fantastic device, but it's certainly no (replacement) Note 7 :p
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Dmac1984:
You have to make the decision that works best for you in the long term. would I personally go to an iPhone? Nah, in my opinion they're phones for kids/teens and the only way to make them semi usable is to add a crap-ton of Google stuff to them, or you can just get the actual google operating system wrapped in WAYYYY better looking hardware, i don't care what anyone says, the space above and below the iPhone screen is just unacceptable. I write apps for both IOS and Android and they are "smooth" because they are so limited and clocked down that they run great, but that slows trust me. Android phones tend to be power houses and can catch here and there but I've personally never experienced the lag people speak of on Touchwiz, not even when i rooted my phones back in the day, thing is people want to add everything and tweak everything to the phone then don't understand why it hits a snag every once in a while. But again, my explosive Note 7 runs perfect, no lag or anything, its buttery smooth, and all of my Samsung phones have been even when power using them.

So at this point it comes down to preference, OS wise and aesthetically. There's no question iPhone has more mainstream appeal making acquiring accessories and stuff a lot easier, But there are no shortage of Android accessories available either, and Android is meant to customize and make your own, where as IOS is set to strict guidelines to have it always look how Apple wants it to look. For everything I've listed here and more Android is just the choice for me, preferably Samsung because they've found that perfect phone formula that seems to be tailored to me personally and professionally, but that isn't everyone's taste, fact is, there really isn't anything that you get in an iPhone that you don't already get on Android, but there's a lot on Android you cant get with iPhone.

Good luck!

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
What Samsung did was extraordinary and cost them billions of dollars both in cash and lost market capitalization. Based on how few phones have overheated they could have played kick-the-can and stalled this for months or been forced involuntarily in to addressing the issue. Instead they announced within a week of identifying the problem internally that they were recalling 2.5M Note7s. Clearly some here aren't in business because to think any multi-billion dollar multinational conglomerate could recall 2.5M of anything faster or better than Samsung did is a pipe dream. They obviously had their sh!t together because the recall program they were already in the process of in the U.S. was blessed within days by the CPSC.

I've been buying Samsung products for years (mostly Note phones and tablets) and this is the first serious problem I've encountered. The Note7 was the best Samsung phone I've owned before this debacle and nothing's changed after.

Audi had a huge unintentional acceleration problem, Honda is tied directly to the Takata airbag issue, GM was involved in an ignition switch problem cover-up, and VW's getting their ass kicked for screwing with emission testing. The first three are performing extremely well and VW will be fine when the dust settles. Samsung will be fine too.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Dmac1984:
Agreed, My entire house is outfitted in Samsung, I'm a definite Samsung "Fan-Boy" and because they have never let me down and always deliver the best most innovative products. My washer, dryer, TVs, Tablets, Soundbars, BT speakers, Watches, Phones, Netbooks, charging docks etc. all Samsung - and that goes for all of my Wife's products and the rest of my family (Brother, Sister, Brother in law, Mom etc.) I sold them on their first Samsung device years and they haven't looked back. I didn't fret once over this recall, I knew it was being blown out of proportion and that Samsung was all over it the best they could be and I was going to be taken care of.

If anything my Brand loyalty has been enhanced because of this, but that doesn't mean i expect Samsung to be perfect always or say they wont ever drop the ball, But I will cross that bridge when I get there, until then Samsung is my brand, and the Note 7 is a GREAT phone and has met and far exceeded my expectations both on aesthetics and performance.

Samsung came through for us on this recall regardless of how people want to perceive their approach, so to those people: please explain how they could have done it better?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] alltaken123:
I agree that the recall has been handled well, unprecedented to get so many replacements produced and shipped so quickly (I have a replacement already).

However, the CPSC had this to say to BBC News:

Mr Kaye said Samsung should not have tried to do the recall by itself, saying: "Anybody who thinks that a company going out on its own is going to provide the best recall for that company, and more importantly for the consumer, needs to have more than their phone checked,"
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Dmac1984:
- Says the guy who makes money and gets to push his power by issuing recalls. No different than a mechanic saying "Anyone who rotates their own tires is looking to die!"

And sure, of course they did whats best for Samsung, They have to stay is business, both by cleaning up their mess as quick as possible and to their consumers liking (because we are the reason they have a business) no company is stupid enough not to try and please the consumer with their decision.

---------- Post added at 06:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:26 AM ----------

What's different today from the year's long discussion of Android vs. iOS? The iP7+ is as big as a house, has a 1080P IPS panel, has a 2,900mAh battery, no wireless charging, no fast charging, no audio jack, and an eco-system locked down harder than Fort Knox which offers no flexibility and customization. I didn't read your "pros" summary but I'm assuming they're what's already known. What's left to say?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] jackdforme:
I mean the Pro's summary would be important to have an objective look no?
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] hazerXIII:
I have to disagree... Before I have my Note 7, I was using my 2011 Note 1 (ran on Samsung Jelly bean stock rom)... No lag has been felt until recently when the apps I am using often are getting more and more RAM demanding...

Samsung vs iPhone should not be seen as Android vs iOS, but then when coming to which to choose, it depends on which best suits your needs (I don't view those who chose iOS over Android are any inferior). Personally I no longer find Android exciting like it used to be, but between Android devices and iPhone, I am still an Android guy. The reason for this is simple: Android has large variety of devices which I can choose from... And this time I chose Note 7 (not because I am loyal to Samsung) as it offers various exciting functions (and ya, I like the S-Pen)... As for iPhone 7 or 7+, I found the design for these device were unappealing...

Now that is a good reply. Thank you for being just up front.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] alltaken123:
It looks to me like you only want 'on the fence' replies that give you no swing towards either device. I gave you real world use in that it is very smooth on the 2nd release which I presumed would have made a huge difference to your decision considering you mentioned that all was good until the recall announcement.

People have given you material and real world examples of the recall (In my case 10 days!) but you still seem bent on assuming the recall is being handled poorly.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] matsuyamakaze:
I've read where apple has ignored people being hurt and even killed by the iPhone since 2009. Little girl had glass on her eye from it exploding, a man had third degree burns when biking he fell on it. Others died. Look it up. They said not our fault. Samsung cares more about customers. Imo so im sticking with Sammy. I hope you all find happiness with your devices, stay safe.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Dmac1984:
Seems like we've all given the best answers we can to your question and reasons why we feel this way, ultimately the decision is yours based on what YOU like and why and how it fits into your life. The recall came up because its why you came into this dilemma in the first place.

We can tell you all day which couch your ass likes better, but in the end you're the only person who can feel the nerve endings in your ass lol, so you have make that decision based off what you like. Its like asking if I like Ham or Roast Beef more. The differences of IOS and Android are very prominent and very much talked about and public, at this point it seems you just want someone to push you in one direction or the other or give you the "go-ahead" but judging from your first post and last post, it seems like you've already chosen the iPhone and no one is gonna stop you, I choose Android wrapped in the Note 7, but that doesn't mean that's the standard everyone should live by.

And companies that do shady stuff lose in the end, i highly doubt a company like Samsung is willing to throw away a multi-billion dollar company to screw over a few people with faulty phones. Maybe the people at Samsung are dicks, But they WILL do what they can to make this right if for nothing more than keeping the money rolling into the company. Think about it.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Ryland Johnson:
Hi, You of course realise there is no answer to your question. How can we decide what you need or require from your mobile? You lost me when you requested not to mention the S-pen as its not a factor for you? If this is the case why on earth are you even considering the Note 7? The S-pen is one of its major features and the stand out point in relation to the Samsung Galaxy S7 series. If you don't use the pen why not consider the S7 edge?

It is sheer folly to even try and compare the incomparable. The Note 7 is the Note 7 and the iPhone 7 is the iPhone 7. Read the specifications and see what rings your bell.

Screen quality is

my

main priority after the S-pen. That leaves zero choice for me between the two mobiles. IPS FHD -Vs- S-AMOLED QHD. after using an S-AMOLED QHD screen for a year no way could I regress to a lesser screen quality.

For others the OS will be the factor. The camera.. and so it goes on. Its a exercise in futility to compare these mobiles. Its even more impossible for you to ask us what you need. :good:

Most flag ship mobiles bring something to the table of ownership, that is why we have such a large choice. Long live those differences.

I sincerely hope you find what you 'need' in your quest for your next mobile. :good:

Here's a list BI put together of the seven things an iPhone7 can do that a Galaxy phone can't. I guess they couldn't come up with ten.

The iPhone 7 Plus dual cameras give you 2x optical zoom and 10x digital zoom.

The iPhone 7 lets you take full advantage of Apple's new AirPods.

The iPhone 7 has iOS, which tends to get the best apps first.

The iPhone 7 promises more consistent updates than the Samsung Galaxy S7.

The iPhone 7 has more storage options.

The iPhone 7 has a faster processor.

The iPhone 7 has stereo speakers.

http://www.businessinsider.com/appl...+Insider)/#the-iphone-7-has-stereo-speakers-7

1, 3, 4, and 7 have value. 5 is a joke because the prices Apple charges to jump a storage level are aggregious and the 7-series has expandable storage. To think 2 is a selling point is nuts. Existing headsets have been rendered obsolute without a butt ugly dongle and the design of the AirPods must have Steve Jobs rolling over in his grave. For 6, since the A10 is quad core, the phone's actually equal to or less than the iP6 when its running on 2 cores for power saving. To each their own.

I work for a company that only allows iPhones to connect to Exchange. I freaked until I found a fantastic Android mail app that supports EWS and gets me 90% of what full EAS access provides. Dodged a bullet. ;)

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] sharingan5791:
From what you wrote it sounds like you already know what to do. It sounds like you favor the iPhone more. So buy and keep it and just sell or take back the note 7. You shouldn't need others to persuade you to go to a phone that you don't like or doesn't meet your preference.

I had an iPhone 6plus and yes it was smooth & simple. But it lacked features that I could only get from the note series. So I sold it. And got me a note and I love it. So if you can live with the drawbacks and you're not bored with the iPhone then keep it.
