[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] aaron99:
I fixed my phone.

Answer for my case:

1. Load into Recovery mode

2. Reset factory defaults/wipe phone.

3. Clear cache

4. Reset factory defaults/wipe phone a 2nd time just for fun

5. Reboot phone

6. My phone loaded a long time through at the AT&T loading screen (it appeared locked, but was not)

- NOTE: You can always hard reset it and try to get through the AT&T loading screen

7. Go through Android/Samsung/AT&T welcome wizard

8. Root the phone: See permanent root section here: http://xdaforums.com/verizon-galaxy-s7/how-to/how-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039

- This root process side loads Chainfire's SU tool

-- NOTE: This is where things become unconventional, since my phone was not working with Google Play Services nor did the Google Store app work (I tried everything... they just would not work)

9. Open Chainfire's SU tool, go to the app's settings:

- enable SU at boot

- instead of "prompt", set app to auto-accept root access requests (normally this is stupid since some other random app could automatically acquire root access, but in this case, I was not in this state for very long. I actually had to do this because the system would not pop up notifications for apps requesting root access)

10. On a PC, download Chainfire's Flashfire app (I used this: eu.chainfire.flash_0.53-53_minAPI17(armeabi-v7a,x86)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk)

11. In a Windows command prompt running as adminitrator, put the APK from step #10 into the same root.bat folder used in step #8

12. With the phone connected (with Samsung USB drivers installed of course), run this command from that folder: adb install -r eu.chainfire.flash_0.53-53_minAPI17(armeabi-v7a,x86)(nodpi)_apkmirror.com.apk

13. Open app drawer and run Flashfire

14. Follow this guide from step #1 through step #9 (because my phone will not work with Odin nor the boot loader listed on step #10 of the guide): http://www.droidviews.com/install-deodexed-debloated-stock-rom-on-att-galaxy-s7-sm-g930a/

- If steps are followed through step #9, the phone will be in Download mode

15. Hard reset phone and boot into Recovery mode

16. Repeat steps #1-5 from my steps listed above to reset factory settings / wipe the phone again

17. Phone reboots and will appear to hang... Just wait. Wait and wait. It will load.

18. Go through Welcome wizard...

This time, all apps work, due to the ROM image used during step #14. This slimmed down ROM image has fully functional stock apps, which is great because that is now set as as the factory image for any future Recovery mode factory resets. Life saver! ...or more like a phone saver for me.

Hopefully this helps someone else.

My XDA Stellar has just arrived and it has what appears to be a dead pixel a quarter of the way up the screen about 5mm in from the left hand edge. It's it is lit in blue on a black backround but is white on a white background.

Do I have grounds for a swap or will O2 say it's unavoidable etc?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] moorefire:
I returned my tilt to ATT because of a dead pixel without a problem (within the first 30 days.) It was bright WM6 green and it drove me crazy

i have a kaiser with a dead pixel not happy about it. been trying to fix it with software with no luck. im very dissappointed with it and htc wont replace the phone with only one dead pixel.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] aksd:
I had a dead/stuck pixel, all I did was massage the screen a bit:D , apply a little pressure and move your finger up and down over the dead pixel:D , should sort it out. As per company policy I think 3 dead pixels are required to get a replacemnt. After the massage(which was 20 days ago) the phone is fine without any sign of the dead pixel
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] andyclay:
Dead pixel

I'm sure this will not solve everyone's problem but it might help a few. I had a pixel that appeared to be always on. It showed blue when the background was black. I powered off my TyTn II several times and the problem was still there. Then I tried pulling the battery and "Bob's your Uncle" the problem went away. I have had this problem twice and each time the battery removal has solved the problem.

Hope this helpful to some of you
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eyebeebe:
Ok I've tried using magic fingers on it and pulling out the battery but it's still there.

Think I will call Customer Services tomorrow and see what can be done. Ideally a swap out at my nearest store as it's a pain in the arse to do returns.

Quite annoying really as I'm dying to H-SPL and get a proper ROM on it, but whilst I'm undecided about what to do with it, don't think it is too wise.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kareeem:
how can i see if i have a dead pixel or not?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eyebeebe:
If you haven't noticed it you haven't got one/any!

The pixel doesn't work i.e. it doesn't show the colour it is supposed to. Mine for example is permanently blue, so isn't noticeable on a blue background or a white one (white because red and green are also on to make white), but is noticeable on a black or green background and I would presume a red one too.

Guys, don't forget about my article in the Wiki, which can also help:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] eyebeebe:
Thanks I cycled it for 10 minutes and hasn't fixed it. I'll run it overnight and see if it works, but in any case O2 are doing a swap out on Tuesday.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] JwY:
I wouldn't be satisfied with a dead pixel either. Massaging shouldn't work in this case because the touch sensitive area should not touch the LCD.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Draqula:
I have one dead pixel on my TyTN II. When I called HTC Finland they said I need to have about six!!! :mad: to get it repaired under warranty.

I didn't check for dead pixels when I receiced the device (discovered the dead pixel later that same night) and didn't have time to deal with the issue, so weeks passed by.

My dead pixel is WM green and only visible during boot up.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kms108:
from what i have gathered, the dead pixel problems occure a lot on the kaiser, the screen used are very cheap, that why ppl have noticed, that the kaiser has two different type of screen.

my first tytn 2 had a red dot on the black screen when you open the phone, during normal use, nothing shows up, i had it changed when i found out, and i spent about 1 hour checking through the new unit.

I have two program for checking dead and stuck pixels, one of them actually fixes the pixel problem, but as pointed out 50/50 chance.

let me know if anyone needs the program, and prepare to let it run fir a few hours.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] while(!(linux)){wm}:
My answer to the original question:

NO!

On a device with a very low resolution screen such as the kaiser, a single dead pixel is not acceptable. Manufacturers who make LCD displays with millions of pixels typically have limits of 3-5 dead pixels, but this device has only a few hundred thousand, which makes a single pixel stand out like a sore thumb.

HTC should be ashamed that they can not support their devices. If my tilt had a dead pixel, i'd have taken it back to AT&T immediately. Contact your vendor and demand a replacement. If you've purchased it recently enough, and they refuse to take it back, send it back to them via certified and signature confirmation mail (tell them it's coming), and after it has been received, call your credit card company and revoke payment from the vendor.

Remember, unless the vendor had a highly visible disclaimer about dead pixels, if you received the unit with dead pixels it is defective and NOT what you paid for.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ericc191:
I'd love a link to the programs you used.

How can I tell if my phone has a dead pixel or a stuck pixel? It is just one small white spec and it's annoying the hell out of me.

HTC has a serious quality control issue with it's new Kaiser. This is my 4th and I will exchange it again if I have to. It's just sad that I actually miss my 8525.. I might even give up and buy another 8525. It was a solid device imo.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] rakdoll:
Check this out if you DID NOT get the stuck pixels go away with the links posted above! The video really can help, and the other mentioned methods.

They didnt work for me, so here is my way out. I got my screen repaired UNDER WARRANTY!

I heard awful stories how HTC refused to swap devices/screens under warranty, because of dead/stuck pixels, if there isn't like 4-6 there.

But still, at least I got my Kaiser repaired under warranty, just by calling HTC official support. Got a statement there that my provider should fix it, then took down the reference number from HTC case and called my provider, and they agreed to swap it! (gave the reference number, and told that the screen is supposed to be swapped!) I am so happy right now! *Knocking the wood*. Hope I'll really get it back after 2 weeks with no stuck pixels on it anymore.

Of course I needed to tell them at HTC that I think itäs totally unacceptable to have 1 stuck pixel on the screen. As in comparison to 19 inches screen that equals to 15 stuck pixels! Don't know if that affected the decision, or maybe the customer support technician was one of the nice kind.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] reload75:
I just got my tilt two weeks ago and one friggin pixel went blue on me right in the middle. i was about to return the phone but "massaging the screen" trick worked.

im pretty disappointed with the quality of the screen.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] ASCIIker:
Dead pixel came...dead pixel went

i've been using my store bought tytn 2 since may 2008 and i encountered a deal pixel today...

it was blue on black background and white on white background...near the today screen clock's last digit in portrait mode...

i kept my cool...the idea of massaging came to mind so i did a couple of finger swipes over the pixel...10 seconds into the problem but the dead pixel was still there...now i panicked a bit...but then i flicked the side of the phone near the power button and viola...the dead pixel is now alive...hope it doesn't recur...(fingers crossed)

maybe "flick from the side method" is worth mentioning in the wiki for other people experiencing dead pixels...?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] kirashi:
Couldn't find any information regarding whether or not the Bell Mobile TV App is working with the S7 Edge, or regular S7, so I decided to create a post to see how widespread this issue is, and whether or not there's a fix available. (And to light a fire under Bell's App developers butts.)

The Issue Is As Follows:

When trying to play live video through the Bell Mobile TV App on a Galaxy S7 or S7 Edge, you'll be presented with the following screen asking you to "disable mock locations in your device settings" with an error code of 3710. This seems to have occurred since around September as multiple reviews on the Google play store all claim the same error with people using the S7 or S7 Edge phones.

Sources: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 AndroidCentral

The Problem:

There is no toggle switch (ON/OFF) for mock locations on the S7 or S7 Edge running Marshmallow, not even in Developer Options. There is an option called Mock Location App, which allows you to select an app to use for mock locations, but nothing that explicitly turns off said option.

To test this problem, I went into Developer Options, and assigned the Mock Location app as the Contacts applications. I then close and Force Stopped the Bell Mobile TV App. Upon re-opening it I received the same "disable mock locations" error - This is good in this instance, since I actually have a Mock Location app assigned in Developer options.

The Bell Mobile TV App appears to not acknowledge the Mock Location App setting being set to "none" and is most likely expecting the "Allow Mock Location" toggle (ON/OFF) switch that the S7 and S7 Edge do not seem to have when running Android Marshmallow.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue, and if so, have you reported it to Bell yet?

I have emailed the developer email on file in the Google Play Store (servicesdevelopment@bell.ca) and escalated the issue from within the MyBell account page. Currently I am waiting to hear back on the status of the issue.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] stevierayvaughan:
I recall this option on my rooted S3 (6.0 ROMs) in settings, so raising/lowering ringtone volume would be for both ringtone and notification. Any way to do this on S7 Edge (stock)? I have no intention of rooting, if that's the only way that's fine at least I'll know. Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] stevierayvaughan:
Anyone :D
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] usmanyasin.bk201:
I want this too but unfortunately they haven't implemented that feature in the stock os. I have dug around the menus to make sure, definitely not in there. I think the only way would be to root but then you'll have to find a rom that has it unless there is a root application that can change that particular setting.

It is annoying but I don't think it's worth rooting over. I have a rule of five to justify rooting. So if there's five things that really annoy me about a phone rom which I can change through rooting then I do it but I haven't had any major issues with the stock rom yet.

Wish I could've been more help.

[Honor 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hynkel:
Hello all!

My phone has been nagging me to update to B371 every once in a while for quite some time now. Hoping it can solve the charging issues (since charging takes 2x longer in B330), I tried to update via OTA only to find a "Software Install Failed" message.

I figured I needed to use the "force update" method by putting the firmware update.zip file into the dload folder in the root of the external SD, but no luck either, it goes to 5% then I am greeted with the same install failed message.

I formatted the card just in case and tried again. No good either.

Tried the soft method and went to the ProjectMenu (*#*#2846579#*#*). It informs me that the file is not found while in fact it actually is there.

Did a factory reset. Was no help at all.

HiSuite software couldn't find the update.

At this point I'm getting desperate and I'll try any suggestion. Does the fact that the update to B330 "failed" at 99% yet the firmware somehow still runs the B330 build have any influence?

If it´s a full update (more than 1GB) you must do it. If not, it´s just the zip file.

Try to force update -power off, then press vol+- and power until the update screen comes.

I purchased my Samsung Galaxy s7 Edge via a third party seller. It was listed as new and sim-free factory unlocked. I received it today and notice that there is an EE app on the device and the Internet homepage is EE also. Other than that there is no other evidence of it being network branded. There is no network splashscreen for instance. The CSC code is G935FEVR1BPH1. Just thinking that if the device was unbranded there wouldn't be any reference to EE and worried that the device may have been interfered with. What do you think? Many thanks.
