[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hunibu:
Hi forum,

My S5 performance is a bit too laggy for my taste. Running rooted MM Touchwiz. I am looking for a custom ROM. Used to run CM on my LG tablet which I liked, but I heard it is not necessarily a prime choice for the Samsung.

Here is what I would expect from a custom ROM:

- faster / lighter than Touchwiz

- stable performance (want to install and forget till next update)

- similar camera performance (this one is big, apparently CM has issues here?)

- high audio quality (for MP3)

- permission management (or via xprivacy)

- ideally OTA updates (like CM has implemented)

Something like this available under the myriad of custom ROMs? Many thanks for suggestions!
[LG G5 Questions & Answers] FBIV:
I am considering getting the LG G5 because I really like the camera compared to a number of others. If I buy the phone from BH Photo and use it on cricket, do the updates come from AT&T or do I have to get them somewhere else?
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kantastisch:
I have a problem. I couldn't remove the reactivation lock, so I deleted the account and resetted it. Then it said "processing failed". So I donwloaded a rom, but still same issue. Then I wanted to download a 5.1.1 rom but it said device 4 binary 3 error, so I installed one with 4 partations (AP, CSC, CP and BL) but same error and then I installed it whitout the BL File and I'm stuck at the samsung logo. I also can't install a custom recovery (blocked by reactivation lock) and I cannot enter the recovery, just the download mode. When I try to flash a 6.0.1 rom i get an error after hidden.img.

Anyone Help?? :confused:
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] caifaz:
After updating to Android N my N5X won't find any 5GHz wifi network.

I have reflashed radio file, also tried different ROMs, etc. any ideas? I can confirm my 5GHz network is working as other devices can connect to it.

Thanks

EDIT: 5GHz wifi network
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcolawl:
This can sometimes happen if the router chooses (or if you choose) a weird channel for the 5GHz band. I believe I had this problem when the 5 GHz band in my house was set to one of the channels towards the end of the spectrum, like channel 161 or 165. Let me know if this goes straight over your head but you're gonna have to log into your router and check things out.

The IP is usually something like 192.168.1.1, but you can check by running command prompt and typing ipconfig and looking for "default gateway". That IP address if your router's IP. Type that IP into your browser. God willing you have a separate router from your cable modem, go ahead and log into your router. If you don't know the username and password, ask someone who does. Flip over to the wireless section so you can play with the 5 GHz settings. If you live in a congested area like a city or a neighborhood, you should set your 5 GHz band to a channel width of either 40 MHz or 20 MHz. 80 will get you the best speeds but interference will step all over your performance, so if you have a lot of neighboring wifi networks, you won't see any gains. As for choosing a channel, you can choose one yourself (which is what I usually do after taking a survey of my house to find the best channel) or leave it on auto. Auto will select what it thinks the best channel is and sometimes it might select a channel that makes some devices unhappy. Again, this tends to be the higher channels like 153-165 in my house with some devices.

Hope this helps.

Hello;

my m8 is on 5.0.1 it says software status:modified . it is unlocked but s-on

every time i flash a recovery it doesnt work i want to restore it back into stock please help me i am lost.

thanks in advance :highfive:

my carrier is vodafone egypt
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ahmed.ismael:
hi moataz

what's the steps you did to flash recovery,what's the recovery version ??

AFAIK we here in Egypt we don't have any carrier branded device so your device is WWE just as mine (( may be yours is not like mine but i'm just assuming ))

now you need to back to stock so some info is required so we can help

post the result of " fastboot getvar all " here after removing your serialno and imei

this info will identify your device and which RUU you need to back to stock
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
Fully agree. Need more more info on the specific steps attempted to return to stock, what files used (exact file names, version numbers), specific results after trying to restore the files(phone status), error messages, etc. plus getvar info.

Also, to the OP, please change the subject of the thread to one that describes the specific issue. "hello" (or similarly, "help", etc.) is not a useful thread title. Look at the other thread titles, and you'll get a good idea of the goal here. Having a proper thread title helps keep the forums organized. Plus, can help get more traffic to your thread, as folks that have had the same problem may see it and think "I know the answer to that, I can help".

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] m.ali.a:
Hello

I flashed official 4.4.2 ROM (I can't post the link but it is the Panama ROM PDA:N5100UBDNK2 on SAMMOBILE)

But my tablet went into bootloop

It just shows the Samsung logo shining for hours and then goes off.

It can be charged and also downloading mode and recovery mode are working.

I can't do a factory reset or wipe data because I need my data and apps and everything.

I had a problem like this for my Galaxy S 3 mini and I found a file which I flashed by Odin and that was it.

Please help me I couldn't find anything for my model with the same problem.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooti] Androiduser4lifeX:
– After flashing a new?*rom

If you?*flash?*a new (base)rom?*on your device it may not automatically wipe yourdalvik-cache, This means your old?*dalvik-cache will be used for the new system files which would result in a bootloop, to fix this problem:

1. Start your phone in?*CWM?*Recovery

2. Go to Advanced

3. Choose “Wipe?*dalvik-cache”

4. Now go to “Mounts & Storage”

5. Choose “Wipe /cache”

6. Reboot your phone

Note: by wiping?* “/cache” and “dalvik-cache” you make sure it’s completely deleted, some roms use /data and some use /cache for the?*dalvik-cache

If the problems still exists after doing that, you could try to wipe your /data partition. before you do that first make a backup of your phone (in it’s current bootlooping state)

1. Start your phone in?*CWM?*Recovery

2. Now go to “Backup & Restore”

3. Choose “backup” (it may also be called “backup to internal/external?*sdcard)

When that’s done you are free to wipe /data, you can achieve this by doing:

1. Now go to “Mounts & Storage”

2. Choose “Wipe /data”

3. Choose “Wipe /cache”

4. Reboot your phone

If the?*rom?*still doesn’t boot correctly it’s probably the?*rom?*which isn’t working, contact the?*rom?*creator then and try an other?*rom?*for the meanwhile

---------- Post added at 02:51 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:47 PM ----------

If you were installing your new rom you should have backed up your files, because you need to delete your dalvik and everything else for roms not to conflict , so you may have to add sideload to retrieve your files if they are still there, and then do the above process
[Omni Q&A] b8842dc0:
So, I'm trying to compile my own omnirom 6 rom for my nexus 6. I've been using the instructions here: https://github.com/omnirom/android/blob/android-6.0/README.md

These instructions make it seem pretty simple:

1. Initialize the repo.

repo init -u git://github.com/omnirom/android.git -b android-6.0

2. Sync the repo.

repo sync

3. Build

cd <source-dir>; . build/envsetup.sh; brunch shamu

If I run these commands, as stated, my ROM builds successfully. However, when I install it on my nexus 6 using TWRP, and reboot, I'm hang on the Google logo. I never see the animated omni boot screen, or anything else.

I assume this means that I'm missing the nexus 6 device drivers. The instructions listed above don't state anything about needing to download the device drivers from https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/drivers

However, if I download the drivers, extract the three tar files, run the install scripts for the drivers, run "make clean" or "make clobber" and then repeat the compilation steps listed at the beginning of this post, the compilation fails within a minute or two.

So, can anybody confirm if anything might be missing from the steps mentioned at https://github.com/omnirom/android/blob/android-6.0/README.md ? Do I need to manually extract the device drivers? Anything else I need to do (or not do)?

Thanks!
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
So we have pictures of a box with a safe "black square" indicator on it and an overheated Note7 on the floor in the aisle of a Southwest flight that was pushing back from gate at Baltimore. Before the OMG! crowd hits, with the U.S. CPC involved, we'll get some tangible information soon. If in fact the phone on the floor is a "safe" Note7 and it overheated Samsung's screwed. If there's more to the story (EG: the phone in fact wasn't a replacement) we'll find that out soon. Until then the glass half full people can assume there's more at play than the story indicated and the glass half empty people can work themselves up in to a frenzy with scant information to go by.

Yep. That's what he said. If it's true it'll be corroborated soon. If it's false we'll know that even sooner. The difference between true and false means $1B or more to Samsung so I'm sure they are all over this in droves.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
As a glass half full person I accepted that .01% of the pre-replacement Note7's had the potential to overheat. I was perfectly willing to keep my original phone for months waiting until I nicked or scratched it to turn it in for replacement. The only reason I exchanged it early is the stupid nag screen Samsung pushed out via a non-preventable update. Of the initial 90ish reported incidents 30ish of those later turned out to be proven false or the claimants failed to participate in any type of investigation which can be taken as false claims also. How big a risk this is/was is up to personal interpretation. Here's a pic of the Note7 on the floor of the Southwest plane after it overheated.

It looks like all the other pics of overheated Note7's I've seen. In all of those pics none of the phones got hot enough to melt the plastic parts like the home button which is an inch away from the battery. Plastic melts at 145 degrees which is less than the 160 degrees poultry needs to be cooked to in order to be eaten safely. If this situation happened to a second tier brand like Oppo, OnePlus, or leEco it wouldn't have even made front page news. Because Samsung's a gigantic market-leading powerhouse it not only made the front page but stayed their forever because of the click-bait value.

I'd be surprised if we didn't officially hear more about this particular incident by mid-day tomorrow.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] fortesquieu:
Funny, I thought I was the only person thinking conspiracy!

I find it odd that a lot of these users with issues claimed they've switched to iphone right after the incident. I mean, why would one switches an entire ecosystem just because an Android phone (Note 7 in this case) catches fire? Wouldn't most of them switch to ANOTHER Android device?

:rolleyes:
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] bayniner:
I see no reason for him to lie but the truth will come out, hopefully it was an old device and not a new "safe" one, this is my first note device and i love it. Would hate to have to switch to something else

I'm going on 2, 25 hour flights in a month. I'm not entirely sure I'd feel confident taking a replaced Note 7 with me. The picture certainly looks like a battery failure, it's in the same location as all the others. If and it's a big "If" this is real and it's the same problem, its a gigantic issue for Samsung. Do they pull the whole Note 7 lineup and call it a day for this year? Of course, this guy could be trying something on.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] nomailx:
Yep. Note 7 is gg wp.

Conspiracy or not, it's working.

But this said, I also find this claim a little "too corny".

The guy is on a plane, (last place you'd want a smartphone to explode). He turned off the Phone. It's an exchanged phone. And STILL it exploded.

This is like Apple's dream. If they'd "staged" it, they couldn't do any better.

There's a serious war here gentlemen.

Also it's insteresting that these phones only explode in the US or China. (All other countries were proven as hoax).
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] teegunn:
Maybe because he was travelling by plane and to prove he had a new replacement N7 after the recall. But yeah - this all sounds a little fishy and these articles all seem to jump right into iPhone, iPhone, iPhone go get one now (!) type of thing. Feels forced.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] GeorgeP:
Yes, that is what he said, and it may be true but does seem tad odd that since this happened the morning, he had time to:

- deal with the airport/airline staff after the incident (answer questions, etc.)

- go buy a new iphone (gratuitously added in the article)

- get the original Note 7 box

- get interviewed by the Verge

...All in time for the 1:15 story.

It also seems the timing of the incident was too perfect. It happened in that narrow window while the plane was in the gate. If it happened before, it would be a lot less dramatic, if it happened after take-off, it would have been too dramatic.

All possible, but kinda makes you say hmmmmm...
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
If we all pick and choose the click-bait we find we can spin this any way we want. There appears to be some amount of fraud which doesn't surprise the less idealistic of us here. Bottom line is you have nothing more to support your view that there is no fraud than I do to support my view that there is - neither of us have access to first hand information. Neither does anyone else here.

Armchair engineers in this forum have cried Eureka! that they've figured out what's causing the battery issue with nothing but click-bait as their foundational support. Others have said there's a design defect in the phone itself that's causing the battery issue even though the CSPC and their Korean equivalent have poured over data no one here has access to and accepted whatever Samsung presented as both the cause and solution.

Can we both agree that no one on XDA (so far and including me) is any position to speak in absolutes? Or that they can't know more than government agency's and Samsung who have both power and access to resources we never will? Until there is fact circular conversations like we're having is what this thread is doomed to.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Yes, that's why it's irresponsible to do that. Cite actual announcements or responsible news sources. Both do exist.

Except that I never expressed such a view--attributing that to me is just another false statement on your part. I did point out that your claim about there being ~30 cases that "turned out" to be fraudulent is itself...well, a fraudulent claim.

Instead of vague, meaningless platitudes about "absolutes", how about agreeing not to make false, unsupported statements--especially statements that publicly accuse others of serious wrongdoing.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] BarryH_GEG:
Whoosh. Right over your head. Little in the media is given direct attribution and all of it is paraphrased or selectively quoted. I've seen nothing directly from Samsung or the CSPC with any real detail in it. So if your "supported" statements are selected quotes repurposed by the media they aren't any better than some of the references I and others have made.

Debating the human condition is also futile. I live in a world where airliners with hundreds of innocent passengers are shot out of the sky, bunker bombs are dropped on civilians to support a specific political outcome, terrorists drive heavy trucks on French promenades killing dozens of innocents, and people walk in to schools, chuches, and shopping areas and gun down people in the name of nebulous causes. In that world forgive me for thinking it isn't far fetched for people to seek personal gain or their 15 minutes of fame because a hugely recognized and incredibly wealthy public company openly admitted fault in a safety related incident.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] Gary02468:
Wrong. The actual statement from Samsung is easy to find, and it is nothing like what you said it was--just as my own statement about fraud was nothing like what you said it was, which anyone reading this thread can easily verify.

You carelessly latch on to bogus sites that don't even bother to cite sources, and then you try to blame your resulting misstatements on a general lack of reliable information in the world. It's not the world's fault, it's yours.

[Note 7 Questions & Answers] apprentice:
So, are we saying that a Samsung Galaxy Note 7 should never, at any point in the future, ever catch fire? It has a Lithium battery. The chances are this could be just a coincidence. However, my guess is that the investigation will either be inconclusive or prove it was fake (like many others have been) or the Note 7 was in fact a recall.

The thing is, I cannot see that Samsung has not taken huge steps to ensure that the new exchanged devices were fit to be sent out.
[Note 7 Questions & Answers] notefreak:
I think Samsung should not recall the phone until someone proves beyond reasonable doubt the phone has a design flaw. The damage has been done anyway.

If any competition is behind this, they should focus on making better phones. Then we will buy them. I will rather go back to using my Note 4 (got it back from my cousin) than buying a fruity one.
