[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] janvitos:
Hi everyone,

So I've been using voip.ms as my phone service for a few years now, and the native SIP client on Android has always worked like a charm on my previous phones (Nexus 5, Nexus 6, Nexuis 5X).

I just got a Samsung Galaxy S7 G930F, and it seems like the native SIP client is broken and not working properly.

I got to configure the SIP settings by following this guide, but it seems like I cannot get outoing calls to work (incoming calls work perfectly).

Whenever I make a call, I cannot use the volume controls (stuck at max volume), and when the other party answers my call, they hear a loud strident machine sound, but they cannot hear me at all. I can hear them, but the sound is really choppy.

I've tried factory resetting the phone, I've also tried using the Google Dialer, but the problem persists.

Normal calls work just fine, so it seems like this has something to do with the SIP stack.

My questions to you guys are, has anyone had success in using the native Android SIP client on their Samsung Galaxy S7 phone? Has anyone experienced the same issue?

I'm now using Zoiper for making VOIP calls, but its implementation of Bluetooth car controls is broken. That's one of the reasons I liked the Android native SIP client so much: it worked perfectly out of the box on my previous Nexus phones.

Thank you.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] k-m-c:
same problem here, with the addition that the noise also occurs on incoming calls, thus making the internal SIP client useless. It was working fine on my S5mini (an otherwise crippled phone), and I have the exact same setup on the S7. I tested safe mode and uninstalling a call recorder app, but to no avail.

Samsung, I bought your premium phone, so get this fixed!

Same problem on my S7. CSipSimple works but without the native client integration I cannot use BT.

Im using Canadian Exynos if that makes a difference. Anyone who has tried the Nougat beta, does it fix it?

updated to Android 8.0 today. VoIP connections not usable anymore. After installing "Galaxy SIP Accounts" I can again edit the connections and send and receive calls, but the connection is completely silent - not even the cracking noise I had for a while with Android 7 before it magically disappeared.

Any ideas what to do?

It works fine on S7 & Oreo with my provider (odorik.cz). Already did a few calls without any issues.

one day later after installing Zoiper but not changing any phone or network settings, the native client is working again... quite strange behavior...

SOLVED - Problems with VOIP Client

hi there,

since this thread helped / enlightened me, i thought i contribute some observations of mine.

Used hardware: Samsung Galaxy S7

Aprox. one and a half year ago i started with VOIP and of course as a newbie i did it with apps like Zoiper IAX or CSip Simple, but never was really happy to have to use an extra app for phone calls.

While later i discovered the both apps "Galaxy SIP accounts" and "Galaxy SIP settings" in an article, downloaded them from playstore, setup them in a minute and was totally happy.

Was glad that i could remove those other apps then.

Because my S7 starts to loosen its display now, i got myself another one and because i now knew that those two Galaxy SIP apps worked perfectly i installed them from the start being extremely disappointed about echoes and heavily distorted sound.

Then read this thread and thought i'd give it a try (because couldn't get the built-in client work properly anyway) and installed zoiper, did my phone call and everything worked smoothely.

Then i remembered that on the former phone i had external apps installed before as well.

So to me it seems that, at least on the S7 with Nougat/Oreo those external apps change something and make the hidden client work properly which can then be utilized with the two Galaxy SIP apps.

Now i have deinstalled zoiper but the VOIP client still works fine !

Hope my story gives useful information to someone as well

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mzmartipants:
I'm wondering why you root your phone or choose not to. My reasoning for both is below.

On the root side:

*I'm coming from a rooted 5x. With the introduction of Nougat, I lost any way to a power menu (via Xposed) screenshot. So my preferred method without that option was using a home button remapping app (Homebot https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.abast.homebot ) that opened up my screencap app ( Screencap https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.symcoding.app.screenshots ) but there screencap app requires root. It's clunky, but it works. I've tried every other screencapping app I can find and nothing works as easy as power menu>screenshot. I could use power+power down, but my case makes that difficult. It's not worth downgrading the OS to use Xposed for this. But I'm on the fence if it's worth rooting my 6p.

* I like Xposed mods that allow me to modify things like going to text only battery percentage. Still not worth downgrading to Marshmallow though.

On the no rooting side:

*I won't be forever chasing a way to use or being without the ability to use Android pay.

Your thoughts/reasoning?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikramjatt11:
I mean, you don't have to root.

You can unlock the bootloader and flash a custom ROM (such as Pure Nexus). With Pure Nexus, you don't have to flash SuperSU, which gives you root access, or you can flash SuperSU, up to you.

Either way, there is an option in the ROM to add screenshot to the power button menu, and there is no need for Xposed (which doesn't have support for N yet anyways).

Going between root access and no root only takes 30 seconds, and you can switch between the two anytime you want. To add root, simply flash the SuperSU. To unroot, go into SuperSU menu and click the unroot button.

The only benefit I see without root is the ability to use Android Pay. Android Pay will still work on the Pure Nexus ROM, as long as you don't flash SuperSU.

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] istperson:
Well, if you're not sure, don't root. It is a security risk. Also if you ever want to pay with your phone, then you don't root.

Me, I always had rooted phones, because

- I like to be in total control of all my computers, no matter if stationary or mobile.

- Also when I develop my rom, it helps if I can remove all traces of a system app from the phone itself.

- Also, because I develop my rom, I regularly make TitaniumBackups when trying out a bigger change in the os.

- Makes me all powerful and grownup ;)
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inprince:
I just rooted my 6P yesterday. My main driver was to be able to edit the build.prop file to get the Google Assistant on my 6P, which is supposed to be a Google Pixel exclusive feature. That worked for me, and I'm enjoying the Google Assistant, although I'd say it's still very much in its infancy. However, I did lose the ability to use Android Pay though :mad:, but I've been trying to find a workaround for using Android Pay on my rooted 6P. I believe it can be done on a systemless root (like SuperSU 2.76+ IIRC). I've seen some data points on that on another 6P thread. My Android Pay is still being very finicky though.

Are you sure that the custom TWRP recovery will remain if you unroot using the button within SuperSU? In the Nexus 6P rooting guide (http://xdaforums.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928), step 2, dealing with installation of custom recovery TWRP, says that TWRP "won't stick" if you don't immediately flash SuperSU after booting into TWRP recovery the very first time. I can attest to that, because it happened to me. I had to reflash the TWRP img file, reboot into TWRP recovery, and immediately flash the SuperSU on the phone to make TWRP stick. Do you think unrooting thru SuperSU will allow the TWRP to remain, so that you can use Android Pay? Otherwise, you need to do another step of flashing the TWRP before rerooting.

Secondly, do you know if you just need to be unrooted to add cards to Android Pay? Or do you need to be unrooted for even regularly paying with your app? I've not had success adding cards (except for one) to my Android Pay app after rooting. I haven't yet had a chance to test whether I am able to pay while rooted.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tech_head:
One does not need to root.

If it works for you stock, go for it.

I would say though that unlocking the bootloader is a must.

It allows freedom if anything ever gets corrupt.

Do it ASAP because it wipes the device..

Magisk takes care of the rooting non rooting Android Pay fiasco.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikramjatt11:
Yes, when you flash the Pure Nexus ROM, it will not have root by default. So if you flash the ROM, google apps, and vendor image and then reboot, the ROM will work as needed, but will not have root. In order to get root, you have to flash the SuperSU file in TWRP.

In Android Pay, you will need to be on the Pure Nexus ROM with no SuperSU flashed in order to add cards or use Android Pay regularly when paying. But you can simply flash the SuperSU file when you need root, and then remove root by going to the SuperSU app.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperiassinceZ1:
Hello,

I've tried to solve this on another thread but was instructed to make a new thread to get more visibility.

Last night I set the latest update to start 5am. I had about 50-70% battery and the phone was connected to nearly full 13000mAh power bank.

This morning when I woke up I was wondering why doesn't the power bank indicate any charging light so I picked my phone and it was dead. I clicked power bank and it started charging. So the thing what happened here was that the phone started updating and somehow rejected the charging current of the power bank which made the power bank to stop charging. After that the phone started updating firmware, drained all battery and got bricked.

You might ask why the hell would I use power bank when I update firmware? Well, it does automatically charge when I plug it in, so it should have stayed on all the time. It also provides enough power to charge the phone for more than 2 times, so I would consider it as being same as being charged from a regular charger, because its also as fast so has quite the same charging current. It is a mystery how did the phone reject charging current and how did not the power bank start recharging as fast as possible. :confused:

The problem

The phone is being bricked. I have charged it today about 3 hours with power bank, 1,5 hours with computer and now around 4-6 hours with regular charger. If I try to hold reset / power / volume- / volume+ / power & volume+ / power & volume- any of those for at least 10 seconds, nothing happens. Only thing that happens is the red led stops blinking and stays on red when I hold power. Sony companion wont recognize it. I accidentally tried to fix firmware which orders to hold vol- and then connect but it doesn't connect. The reason this was an accident is that I absolutely do not want to lose all my files, so I need to somehow get my firmware working again without losing pictures, videos or text messages (notes there) or voiding my warranty. So luckily I didn't manage to get the fix firmware to work cuz it should delete everything. Also pressing reset for 2 minutes does the same so I discard that option for now. The battery should be full by now, I have also tried changing the charger after I noticed I had 2 identical Sony chargers one charging power bank and another on this z5p and only that one charging power bank was hot and another one charging phone was maybe a little warm. After I changed them the situation became opposite.

Is there anything I could do to save my files and make this crap work again? :rolleyes:It is quite frustrating now because the most important thing are my files, not even the overpriced phone (and I guess factory reset can get it work but thats the last option, I absolutely need those files:crying:)

PS. sorry for so long story.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperiassinceZ1:
sorry for the typos.

Now the charger is only a little warmer than room temperature, but still blinking red and not responding.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koekoek91:
From what I understanded before, I thought you charged 7 hours directly to an outlet, but you switched between powerbank, and pc too?

Well this is kind of my mistake because I said try connecting it to pc in between.

After reading this more detailed explanation, I would strongly suggest to just leave it charging directly to an outlet.

For atleast about 6-8 hours just as a first try to try to solve the issue (hopefully) without having to take more desperate measures lol.

So start with charging again, sorry for the misunderstanding.... it is partially or maybe mostly my fault :silly:

Post back here tomorrow ;)
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperiassinceZ1:
Thanks for still helping me out here :D

I'll leave it charging "from the wall". However power bank also provides high power and I'm worried about the charger temperature, so could it just charge it very very slow cuz no heat is building up. Anyways, it should have charged like 3 times by now but ill give it 10 hours now. Ill update here later what happens.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koekoek91:
No problem, I kmow how it sucks to have a bricked phone.

I just did a quick research on XDA and found this thread: http://forum.xda-develaopers.com/showthread.php?t=1849170

it is really alot to read... but if you want to have the best chance to unbrick your phone and hopefully still have all your files, I think you should read it before you take any other drastic actions.

I think this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=33032165&postcount=2 is the most interesting for you

You will need flashtool to save your phone, but this doesn't automatically means you have to flash the full firmware (which will erase all files on the phones internal storage).

I know you are hesitant to use flashtool but at some point I think you have no other options sometimes.

BUT.... dont worry, MAYBE you are lucky and just flashing the kernel part of the firmware might fix your problem.

Im not going to add it here as I dont want to be the one to blame when accidentally providing the wrong file for your phone lol.

So I think you should read that guide and see what exactly applies to your issue, and then before you do anything just ask in that thread for help.

Start by telling you aren't even familiar with flashtool yetso they can help you faster. And let them help you to (if needed) correctly flash the correct kernel file to your device.

I think they can help you much better than me, because they have more knowledge,

and know better how to put all info it into context to make it understandable for people who aren't really familiar with al this.

Also it saves me alot more typework lol.

Ill still keep an eye to your thread to see if you manage to fix your brick and maybe answer (some questions) when I have time.

Better to just ask questions in the recovery thread, but who knows... if you post double and Iknow the answer, ithat would be luck and get you back into your phone faster hopefully :D

Enough writing for today..... your welcome :silly:

Good luck, be patient, and dont worry (like they also mention in the recovery guide):p
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XperiassinceZ1:
Ok it has been charging for about 12 hours extra now, total 24h. Still blinking red. not connecting to PC, still reacting to hold power / hold power and hold vol - with continuous red. Reset wont do anything.
[Xperia Z5 Premium Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] koekoek91:
Copied from above linked thread:

YOU NEED TO RESET YOUR PHONE!

If your phone is soft-brick and does nothing when, -the buttons are pressed, -a charger is plugged in, -or if the screen is still ON then....

The memory chips need lose power to clear the bad data and reset the phone. Either by the battery going dead or by unplugging the battery.

You can to leave the phone on a charger to see when the battery dies. Usually the battery will not charge in a soft-brick state and will die while still plugged in. After the reset you should then get the red led. However if you get a red led immediately when first plugged in and no response but red led for a long time, then you may need to leave the phone unplugged and let the battery die.

Only after the chips reset will you get the red led. The RED LED should mean the phone is charging in 'low battery level charge mode'.

Once you get the red led, after the reset, do NOT try to turn on the phone. If you try to start the phone now without fixing the problem you will have to start all over.

So maybe if keeping it plugged for so long doesn't work, leaving it unplugged and wait for the battery to die will help?

Ask for more help in the thread I linked ;)

I didn't know where to go, or if this is even the right forum, but my next PDA/Phone will be (probably) the XV6800, or another one that will accept micro SDHC cards. My problem is that my favorite GPS application is Oncourse Navigator (IGo). They sell their app "locked" into THEIR SD card and it can't be copied to a larger capacity card. You are stuck with what they are willing to supply and so far, they are unwilling to go into the large microSDHC cards.

Is there a hack available that will allow me to copy their app onto a larger capacity card.

I'm not trying to cheat them or anything, I just want the info on a larger card, and they will not do a custom job where I could send them my card and let them install the software.

Apparently installing SuperSU wipes the OS. I can't find a copy of the OS on the phone to install, and the nadroid backup I made doesn't seem to be the thing I need.

I was able to use adb.exe to connect to the phone befoe, but only if I booted normally and disabled MTP (put the phone into "charge only" mode). Now, in TWRP recovery mode, either with or without MTP enabled, adb on my laptop cannot see the device, so I can't push files to the device.
