[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] moorie:
Hi all,

Having a few issues with my main board in my S7 edge and I'm going to get it serviced by Samsung as I've been told they will likely replace the board.

Doespecially anyone know if they replace the board do you always get a new IMEI number as I'll have to inform my insurance company?

Also, I have cracked the rear glass but obviously that will need to be replaced but will I be charged for that as I would have just left it !
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] sa3d12:
1. Yes you will have a new IMEI as every board has its own number.

2. You will be charged for any cracked screens or back panels but under warranty you will pay less for it.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] moorie:
Ahhhhh thanks you. Do you know if IMEI numbers are automatically updated in any sort of database regarding network , insurance etc?

Hi all,

Created this thread with question about a phone bought in mainland but for use internationally. I am a Mainlander but are studying in overseas. I have a phone bought and wishes to install the Google Play in that phone. Will need some guidance on how i can do it. My phone is a Meitu V4s with android 5.1 installed with a custom rom MeiOS-3 . Any help is appreciated in guiding me to do so.

The model specs can be found at www[.]meitu[.]com[/]v4s

I tried the method of using the google apk downloadable in the forum to no avail. So if there is anyone who have managed to do so on this model, please let me know.

Thanks all in advanced.

[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] hotdog18882:
Hello all.

I am having some bluetooth connectivity problem with my moto g 4 US xt1625 Retus channel (non amazon version) stock everything.

Basically the connection to my smartwatch is unstable and keeps dropping on and off.

Normally I would be blaming the smartwatch for this BUT it connects absolutely perfectly to my moto G2 (cyanogenmod 14) without any hint of misbehavior

I've already tried;

Forgetting and re-pairing device (also rebooting phone before repairing)

Factory resetting watch

clearing app data and cache of system bluetooth apps ("bluetooth share" and "bluetooth MIDI")

Disabling 4G (sometimes interferes apparently)

Disabling wifi

Running phone in safe mode.

*edit - also tried disabling power optimisation for both system bluetooth apps AND the watch companion app

I also reconnected my smartwatch to my old moto G 2 after trying all these things and it still works perfectly.

Old moto G2 had blutooth 4.0 LE and this moto G4 has bluetooth 4.2 LE which would offer no comparability issues.

Has anyone had any similar problems with their bluetooth?

Thanks in advance
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] hotdog18882:
I think my next move will be to root, and start removing G apps that could be interfering with the bluetooth connection
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
I have had a problem with my Fitbit connecting that didn't happen on my G2 or G3. I keep my cordless home phone connected with no problem though. What I have to do is forget the Fitbit in my bluetooth devices and it connects fine. If it's even showing up in the bluetooth devices it won't connect. That seems strange that it will only connect that way but others have reported the same thing. Maybe try and see if it connects after you forget it in the bluetooth settings and it's not even showing up.

[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] hotdog18882:
OK maybe you're on to something.

If I connect to the watch using the companion app, then enter bluetooth settings and "forget" the device..... It still appears to be connected

But a few seconds later, it automatically pairs and re-appears in the "paired devices" list.

Is there a way to prevent re-connect?
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] hotdog18882:
Actually, after "forgetting" it several times, It's staying connected and has done for a 15 minutes now.

I'll report back if and when it disconnects.

Cheers
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] hotdog18882:
Ok so the watch disconnected a couple of times in a few hours. (this is a huge improvement from before)

Each time, "forgetting" the watch in bluetooth settings caused an automatic re-pair and return to good connection.

Maybe I can use "tasker" or similar app to automate this unpair upon disconnect?

Cheers
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Yeah, it's strange that it works that way. I think it's the device not compatible with that version Bluetooth. My Fitbit doesn't try to reconnect once I forget it unless I make it pair then it will actually work sometimes and sometimes it doesn't when paired. It always works if I don't pair it at all. Have you tried clicking on the gear besides your watch in more settings once it connects and unchecking what ever connectons it shows in the check boxes?
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] hotdog18882:
If i click the gear next to the watch in the bluetooth settings, the only options i have are to rename the device, or to forget it

I have no checkboxes or anything like thar.

Do you have advanced bluetooth settings installed or something???
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
Some of my devices have check boxes for contacts, audio, etc. but not all. I thought maybe that would be something to look at.

[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] vrm4:
my phone is updated to stock Nougat also and still having bluetooth issues staying connected to my car (2012 ford fusion with mysync) I will be keeping an eye on this thread.
[Moto G4 Questions & Answers] Tel864:
I seldom connect my phone to mysync but my wife does. She also keeps her G4 connected to the Panasonic home phone system while home. I've noticed that since the update to Nougat mysync is very slow to connect on her phone. The Panasonic cordless phone seems to connect fine. Mysync will usually connect although she has to drive for 10 or 15 minutes before it does occasionally and other times it connects instantly. One time I had to delete her phone in the car and add it back. I wondered if it was a problem of it not disconnecting from the Panasonic, but that shouldn't be past the end of the driveway. Then again it may be just a rip in the space time continum. ?
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PavSidhu:
My S6 Edge Plus has had good battery life. I flashed a Note 7 ROM onto it but because of some bugs I decided to flash the latest stock Samsung ROM for my phone from Sammobile on the device. After doing this, I've been experiencing significant battery drain for no reason.

That above was from last night when I had aeroplane mode on, although I was using a sleep tracking app it doesn't usually use that much battery. Starting at 100% before I went to sleep I'm now down to 40% in the morning. This battery drain isn't just at night, but all the time. It appears that Android OS is using the most battery with 48% usage as seen in the image.

Has anyone else had any similar issues? If so how did you fix it? Thanks.

Try flashing Audax rom.

So far so good.
[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hexavoodoomal:
I had this same problem with my G928W8. I flashed the BPF1 firmware when I got the handset, because it's the firmware for my carrier, and saw massive battery drain just like yours. I debloated, greenified, and still got very poor performance. I fixed it by flashing the BPE3 firmware the handset came with. Even without debloating the battery life was fantastic. Now that I've debloated the ROM, Based on the battery loss I see at night, I should get ~14 days stand-by time. I'm getting ~4-5 SOT now, and even with moderate to heavy use during my work day I come home with ~50% left if I leave with ~80-90% in the morning.

[Galaxy S6 Edge+ Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paYne1337:
Omg Guys I have the exact same issue with my S6 Edge Plus. "Android OS" drains my battery like hell, I go to bed with 100% and flight mode and after 7 hours of sleep I've got only like 50% left. The only thing I did was rooting my phone, after I decided to unroot it again (Don't ask why :P), using Smart Switch to make everything to stock again. After that the issue with the "Android OS" battery drain starts to appear, it bothers the **** out of me! After three days of reflashing stock rom and resetting everything I almost thought my phone was bricked. Now I'm gonna try out your solution.. I'll update later

Edit: I did root my phone again and the Battery drain is gone, still on stock rom but with TWRP recovery. This is crazy that a tripped knox could cause such a "bug" like a battery leak like that...

thx to Mohutop for the hint!
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geminihc:
I know the answer is 99% NO but still how did this person do it? Does the galaxy use a different "kind" of bootloader that allows this?

[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Engelm:
You can install Roms with locked bootloader.

I have CamUIX installed, which is based on the original rom.

I am not 100% sure but I know that you can not install custom roms which use a different kernel (any cm rom).

So it wouldn't be very useful :/

By the way, the rom in the Video is also a Touchwiz based rom ;)
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Minto107:
Sure you can... You can flash ANY rom that is compatible with stock kernel... Locked bootloader is only about signed boot.img and recovery.img not about system.img

it looks like genisys: http://xdaforums.com/g4/orig-development/bl-lock-ul-android-6-0-marshmallow-t3459260 uses stock kernel..? will it work on my H812 if i flash with flashfire?
[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] amdev0101:
You can flash custom system images ONLY also on lollipop ONLY. Boot.img and recovery must be signed by lg to load with locked bootloader, they obviously arent so cant do a single s**t really.

I have wifi(internet connection) at home

once i am in a wifi, and browsing the web. do i get charged for data usage from my service provider(tmobile)?

or once im using windows messenger or third party messenger on a wifi connection do i get charged for text messages?

thanks

no a pda connected to wifi works just the same as a pc connected to wifi

it dont mean one pay for internet other then the internet one pay for of ones wifi

but sms use gsm unless one send them from a free sms website
[Networking] _ice_:
thank you. so It wont charge for texting, or data usage once i am on a wifi network. the only reason i had this concern was my friend said ya man. and his dumb ass never used a pda. LOL
[Networking] Rudegar:
sms is a service which goes from 1 phone to another

if you normal sms from your phone it will charge you

the internet cant connect you to phones unless they are on the internet

so to sms over the internet one needs to connect to a service which let your sms out of the internet so to speak

wifi is for your pda 100% thing as it is for your pc

your phone operator will not even know you are online when you are connected to wifi

any pda with wifi can connect to the internet that way it dont even have

to be a phone
[Networking] blkmagikca:
I found that even when I am connected to a WiFi connection, when I used either the browser or Windows Messaging, I got a data charge on my AT&T bill. In order to make absolutely sure that this does not happen again, I disable the cellular service under the Comm Manager when I want to use WiFi. I had thought that the WiFi would take precidence over the cellular service, but I could not find any way to configure this, so I just turn off the cellular service. It's a pain, but at least I don't get the data charges.

[General Questions and Answers] ender87i:
So I pulled out my old Droid-X today to use for secondary reasons (rooting, development, etc)..

Unfortunately, after charging and attempting to power on, it hangs at the "M" (Motorola) Logo Screen indefinitely!

:crying:

I AM however able to power it on into the Recovery options!!

(I whiped the system Cache but it didn't help)..

Anyhow..

At this point, I want to explore options how to Recover the phone - ways to Root it and load a Custom ROM.

Unfortunately though, I am NOT ABLE to access the Phone's Settings to allow Debug mode, or allow Third-party apps, etc..

So is there a way to Recover the phone by Rooting+Custom ROM, considering it wont Boot past the "M" Logo?

Any and all help is VERY MUCH appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
[General Questions and Answers] pratyaksh tyagi:
hello!!

As you said the phone isn't booting up.

so i may recommend you flashing a stock rom first through the working recovery.

or if you want to have a custom one then it will let you do so through the fastboot ( but device should be rooted!).

if you are interested to install a custom rom that can be done but you need to reflash your phone to the stock rom.

that's the fix.
[General Questions and Answers] ender87i:
Thanks for the reply! So when you say to "flash a stock rom", you're just saying to boot up into the recovery menu using the volume key, and simply selecting the factory wipe/restore option? Correct? From there, (assuming it was able to successfully flash to stock and boot up completely), I would then be able to achieve root and flash a new rom.. Sounds simple enough. Thanks. Also though, you said "or if you want to have a custom one then it will let you do so through the fastboot" -- how exactly would I go about doing that? ..you say "but device should be rooted" which it's not. So I'm guessing that makes the 2nd option impossible, meaning I only have 1 option, which is the factory wipe, is this correct?

Thanks! :good:
[General Questions and Answers] pratyaksh tyagi:
Just booting into recovery and factory reset is not the method .you need to flash a stock ROM from the update option.

Then only you will boot. Here is the link to the stock ROM (gingerbread)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1517985

Hope it might help.

Download file( PC) put it on sdcard and flash it. Done.

Then you can install CM 11 on your device after you root it through kingoroot once you install this stock ROM

You can also yourself search for stock ROM for droid X if this didn't helped.

Good luck:good:

[Samsung Gear S2] ivikd:
Sounds like a silly title, but it's the first thing that came to mind.

Hi! I've had my Gear S2 Sport for a couple of months now, paired to a Galaxy S7 Edge. Everything has been working fine, except the alarms from time to time. I usually set an alarm directly on my watch to go off at 7:45 am. Now this would work fine for a few weeks, and then I noticed the alarm wasn't going off anymore - the watch's screen would light up and it would vibrate once, very shortly, at 7:45. Now since it's such a short vibration, it's very easy to miss, especially if I'm walking or something, so you can see why this would be a problem.

I checked my settings, the vibration options are all just fine and everything seems in place. I deleted the alarm and created it again, but it was still just giving me the one short nudge instead of going off entirely, the screen doesn't even show the dismiss/snooze dialog. So I deleted the alarm and set another one for 7:50 am. This one worked fine for a while, but I noticed that the watch was still lighting up and giving me one vibration at 7:45, even though that alarm doesn't exist anymore... And a couple of weeks later, the 7:50 alarm went away as well, leaving behind just a nudge at that time (even though I've since deleted it.)

So yeah, now I'm stuck with two "phantom" alarms at 7:45 and 7:50, with a new alarm shortly after that JUST stopped working this week... I'm about to just reset it to factory settings, but wanted to know if anyone else has any similar issues.

Sorry for the length of the post, I'd appreciate any suggestions!

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RojasTKD:
I have a 3 1/2 month old referbed Hermes. The last few weeks it been giving me many issues.

-I've had it reset it self twice one night

-have had on several occasion to reset it up to three or so times in a row because it would lock up during the reset.

-have had it rest then lock up once it finally started the OS (and just after the above)

-it has randomly closed app I was using

-Randonly opened an other app as I was using somthing else

-Think radio is going bad, has started lose service. Sometimes for a few seconds other times longer (have missed calls only to get the vopive mail ot text message over an hour later)

-I have flash different ROM and radios, but radio still get no service at times.

So, I'm looking to replace this phone. Been using my old SLVR L7 last few days, needless to say I miss funtions of my PDA phone.

Like to hear from those that have gone from the Hermes to the kaiser. Should I go with a 8925/kaiser (some seem to think it not worth ditching the Hermes) or get another 8525/hermes?
