[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] respider:
Hey guys,

I've read mixed reports that sometimes ODIN erases your files and sometimes it doesn't.

So what determines if ODIN is gonna erase my files or not? I'm not getting OTA since August and I would like to keep installing security patches but I don't what to lose my files.

How can I get the most recent firmware from sammobile and flash it without losing stuff? I remember doing this in S4, is it still possible in S7? What should I look for? Keep same CSC code? Country code? Does it matter?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
Hi mate

Read here

If you keep your current CSC and use home_csc file ( must be the same as you have now) for flashing nothing is lost..... if you use CSC file then you factory reset your phone
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] respider:
Thanks, what about this line?

Is this unrelated?

So if my CSC Version is G930FOJV1BPH3 I should use any HOME_CSC containing OJV? Or by "same as you have now" you mean exact numbering?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] MAX 404:
The issue with Odin is no relevant any more , it was an old issue

i meant same home_csc , if you use a different csc than the one you have then is when you get a factory reset .

You can flash any firmware you want , just use a home_csc file containing the same country code as you have , in your case OJV

I don't believe zte anymore. They said that we would share unbrick tool 2 3 weeks ago, where is it?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bkores:
They never said anything about an unbrick tool. They said they would release the stock image, which they did.

Here is the announcement: https://community.zteusa.com/message/65579

To download go here: https://www.zteusa.com/axon-7 then go down to Support<Software Updates< and download the zip
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] WesTD:
They said we won't let be brick. This was means of their photo. You can check again here. https://community.zteusa.com/community/blogging/blog/2016/10/20/coming-soon-to-a-device-near-you And they shared just stock Rom which could install stock recovery. So how can I recover from brick if I can't reboot on stock recovery?

It is old version of stock Rom and you can't upload Rom. Is it a joke?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bkores:
still better than nothing. 99% of the time you'll be able to boot into recovery, stock or TWRP. And you can also flash it in TWRP if you remove the getprop and assertprop lines in the updater-script. If you ever hard brick your phone and can't boot into recovery, just use tenfar's tool.

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] DrakenFX:
Been raise to 500 votes LoL,
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] WesTD:
Problem is not that given stock rom. the problem is they didn't do that what they promised. And I'm not happy with that. Don't be fan boy.

I'm waiting something about software from DrakenFX and Unjustified Dev. I believe that they will make this phone better.

Whatever. this is not topic. I'll vote.

Edit: i've checked polls option. Do want to choose "Cleaner user interface and skin"? If it is yes please tell us that you were joking. There is one option to choose which "Greater dev support for custom ROMs". If there are too many roms all other options will be already.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bkores:
Listen buddy I did not create this poll. In case you can't read, the poll was made by an official ZTE mod and all i asked of you to do was vote so that they would be able to pitch it to R&D so we would have the possibility of getting near stock android for nougat. I have no idea what you mean when you ask if I was joking. Joking about what? I didn't ask you to "choose" the cleaner ui option, just to vote. I also didn't ask you to come here and start whining. Quit barking at me or I will ask for this thread to be locked.

Have a good day :)

P.S. I didn't mean to sound so harsh I just have a very short temper for these kind of things lol
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gryphticon:
Time to update the OP with "200 votes ERMAGERD!!!@!@#!@#@#!!@#"?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bkores:
Good idea
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bkores:
Thanks updating the OP to reflect the change
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gachmuret:
Well for me most important is to have good custom ROM support... Then we're free to develop whatever we want: from AOSP till MIUI, the whole free world of custom dev... Then wouldn't need to care about stock anymore!

But hey, let's vote for whatever we see and take the 500 votes limit
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] razorsbk:
About stock roms: I bought a lower spec Zte phone (Blade V770) earlier this year that has pure stock Android and is flawless. It runs stock Marshmallow, has Dolby audio and also amazing battery life. It was a 200 euros phone so there shouldn't be any problems for them to give us stock Android.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] nupi:

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bkores:
Awesome someone on the community just told me. Hopefully this gets as a lot more votes. As of now we still need 200 more!
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] iNaruX:
I hope the frontpage thingy works. We need to spread the word more. Get 500 votes together, I voted already.

Please spread the word.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] TheLastSidekick:
Voted. Spread the news every one, saw this on Reddit already. Proud to see this device finally taking off, I couldn't pass up on it.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] mateo85:
There is one simple solution for zte. axon 7 with stock Android on screen buttons better camera maybe few tweaks from them nothing major.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Gryphticon:
I think the 500 votes was a joke, it really just is 100 although reaching the 500 milestone would be nice.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] bkores:
I hope so but regardless if it is a joke or not the more votes the easier it would be for R&D to be convinced
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Miustone:
I want this Axon 7 and I want to develop on it. I will Vote for Custom Dev Support...

[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Saad Ali:
Own a n6p and an OP3 but still logged in just to vote for you guys. Thinking about trading my OP3 for Axon 7. Should I do it? I'm loving OP3 on nougat beta though.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] WesTD:
Don't :)

actually i can trade with you if you are in Turkey :)
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Saad Ali:
I live in Kashmir.:) I'm just bored of OP3, I don't know why. It's smooth, fast and all but it just doesn't excite me anymore, it lacks character.

I like axon 7's look, front facing speakers. Camera isn't that great on OP3 anyway so that's not something I'm really concerned about as long as there's a manual mode. I have heard a lot of negatives about axon 7 though, what's wrong with the device? It seems like a perfect all rounder.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
I had the OP3 and like you the axon 7 was always calling me. So I returned OP3 and got an axon 7. I.don't mind the capacitive buttons and I am also rooted and unlocked bootloader. Running a custom ROM and waiting for a daily driver of CM to hit.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] Saad Ali:
Would you recommend it over OP3?
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] abdi7451:
I don't think anyone could objectively recommend this phone over the OP3. The hardware is nice, but the software lags behind other competitors. ZTE did a lot of hacky things to get key features to work on their stock ROM, and because of that it's buggy. This has also made any custom ROM development difficult, because their proprietary code sometimes doesn't work on CM (voLTE, audio). I believe this phone has missed the development curve, don't see the community getting any bigger from here.

So, keep your OP3.
[ZTE Axon 7 Guides, News, & Discussion] borijess:
I do. That's my opinion but if the development speeds up I don't see why not its not better than the OP3.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] w0rdie:
Cliffs: I was suspicious of how little free internal storage I had on my Z Play so I started looking into where it had all gone. I found Motorola to be reserving space for OTA updates and enforcing the reservation actively -- I worked around it and got my 1.2 GB back.

If you have root access you can use the steps below to resolve -- otherwise, at least you'll be more informed about whats going on with your storage.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

According to Android settings my 16GB Z Play running 6.0.1 has 9.41 GB of storage left after the partition allocated to /system. Not long after I got the phone setup with my usual set of applications I received an insufficient storage warning -- SOMETHING was eating up a ton of space.

A photo backup I had run was partly to blame and since I hadn't yet used my SD Card, this was my fault... I resolved that -- but the math still didn't work.

I started digging around until I came across a directory that I would later learn is reserved space for OTA download and cache.

If you're able to access your file system, take a look at

/data/data/com.motorola.ccc.ota/reserved

You're going to find 12 files, each 100 MB -- sequentially named dummy1.zip, dummy2.zip, etc.

These are created by the OTA client, located in

/system/priv-app/3c_ota

-- and the amount of space reserved using the dummy files is determined by a file called reserved_space.txt located in

/system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.ccc.ota

. If you open this file you'll see '1200' -- representing the amount of space in MB to be reserved.

First, you should remove the dummy.zip files, but only deleting the files is pointless since the files will be recreated by the OTA client.

To prevent them from being recreated you can:

A.) Disable/delete the OTA client (I renamed mine, dropping the APK extension)

B.) Edit the reserved_space.txt file

Thanks for looking out Moto, but I'll take it from here.
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] diegochiva95:
The folder that you mention I have it empty, I have not deleted anything, so it was originally
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] w0rdie:
Possible that it varies by firmware - can you post your About Screen / Build Number?

Mine is XT1635-01 | MCOS24.104.35.1-9
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] wallam:
a pop out saying i have 100mb left. free some space to continue using the app successfully

how to free the space and why this pop out keeps on coming?
[Moto Z Play Guides, News, & Discussion] tag68:
Isn't there a reason why these dummy files exist? Does OTA update still work fine after you delete them?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KryptosXLayer2:
All,

Any thoughts on preventing car mode from resizing the screen to accommodate the enlarged soft keys and re-enable the Recents button again? I need car mode to keep the screen on while driving, but not being able to quickly transition from Maps to Google Play Music with a double tap of the Recents button, as well as the reduced screen size, is beyond annoying. Saying "don't use car mode" without a solution to keep the screen on while driving (read: not just "while charging" like the developer option allows) isn't a valid solution.

I've attached a screenshot of the issue. Thanks in advance!

[LG V20 Questions & Answers] nicholb:
Have you tried Android Auto. Google just updated it so you can run it stand alone on a phone. It would give you a simplified car friendly screen with quick access to music and maps.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KryptosXLayer2:
I like the concept, I just don't like being limited to only accessing those select apps, I use lots of other things to search for addresses I travel to for work, driving 50K miles per year, so I'm in the car working (yes, stopped when accessing emails) and I hate having to disable car mode every time I need to multitask

Good suggestion, I am interested in the direction of Android Auto, just not for my main device at this time

Sent from my LG-H910
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KryptosXLayer2:
Now car mode prevents me from seeing that a call is currently active, nothing on the notification bar, nothing on the second screen, can't hang up unless I use the controls on the car steering wheel. Need to find another solution using Tasker or otherwise. Screen on while charging in developer's options dims the screen beyond usefulness.

Sent from my LG-H910
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] frome901:
you're having strange issues, are you connecting to a head unit or using the phone alone? Im not having any problems, but i dont need to switch between apps. Also now that Android Auto works over Bluetooth its i can choose between wired connection(which doesn't let me change apps) or wireless is i want to use an app while stopped. As for the call issue sounds like something is triggering the proximity sensor, i had the same issue when i had a screen protector for a different device on at the beginning?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] LOTL:
I just ordered the V20 today and intend on using it in Landscape mode while driving and using Google Maps or Waze. My previous phone Note 4, the screen would always stay on as long as i had Google Maps running. I never used the car mode feature and always had it plugged in while driving. Do you really need to use Car mode? Couldnt you just keep Google Maps active and access other apps as needed?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KryptosXLayer2:
That would be fine for the times I'm ONLY using Maps, but not Music or anything else that keeps screen on while in foreground. If I switch to anything other than Maps, I have to switch back before the screen times out - and considering the power button is almost impossible to get to when mounted, that isn't a viable solution for me, unfortunately.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] DGarmon:
Yeah, this was the first thing I noticed\hated with either the V20 or 7.0, I hate that the nav buttons increase in car\dock mode. I use CarHome Ultra as my docking app and the only way I have found around it is to Auto hide the Navbar when I'm running CarHome Ultra and my Navigation GPS app. I auto-hide just those two apps from within the "Home Touch Button" tab in the Display settings. I can add shortcuts within CarHome Ultra to the apps I my use while driving: Etc...Nav, Messenger, phone app.

Hope this helps some.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] glenwill:
That actually did help me! Thanks. I also use Car Home Ultra, which I love, but I had switched from 8 buttons to 6 because they were too squashed due to the nav buttons at the bottom.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kylelopez20:
Hi guys,

I wanted to make sure if this version is compatible with my AT&T S7 edge (SM-G935A)

Here is the link: http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-s7-edge/how-to/odin-apk1-tmobile-tmbg935ttmb4apk1-t3494724

Can you guys tell me if this works fine on the att phone? I have bootloader version 2. I'm getting tired of the ATT version that blocks the cool features (e.g. Identify unsaved callers)

Also, can you guys tell me which version of Odin works best with this firmware (don't want to get fail and brick my phone)

I hate to say this, but I think my phone stopped receiving updates from ATT (because I don't want to keep changing my sim card, my sim card is T-Mobile(Metro) and I read the threads that said that in order to update they have to put the ATT sim card. I don't want to do that since my sim card keep coming out of the card (atleast I got in the tray and works)

Anyways, can someone confirm this is compatible with the firmware?

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] marcusva79:
Yes you should be fine. I did use this particular on my 935a ATT S7 Edge. Only thing that did not work on my behalf was Wifi Calling. Since you have a TMobile sim in an ATT phone it could work. The Odin I used was Prince's Odin in the Root thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kylelopez20:
Thanks! Well, first of all, my bootloader version is 2. Should I download the T-Mobile firmware bootloader v2 or the latest one(v4)?

One question, whats the difference between home_csc and csc? Is it wiping data? Does using home_csc works with it? If not, I am fine to try csc version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] marcusva79:
Honestly I have to check when I get home. Currently at work still. With bootloader you can always upgrade but you can NEVER downgrade. It would result in a fail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kylelopez20:
Okay, what do you think firmware is better? 935U or 935T? Do I have to enable OEM unlock? Do I have to turn on startup secure?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] netnerd:
thank you. this Odin works ! I have tried to flash tmobile on att s7 edge using the other Odin multi-times, always getting Fail sha256 is invalid
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kylelopez20:
Yes! It works! Wi-Fi calling works too! No problem with everything. I see slightly improvements on speed. No problems at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] dogredwing1:
WiFi Calling calling works for you? I doesn't work for my I'm on the latest tmobile firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kylelopez20:
It does. It appears to be working. It shows on my top notification status bar.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] dray:
will this allow me to flash back to an at&t firmware if need be?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kylelopez20:
Yes, but latest ATT version, the bootloader are the same. v4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] dray:
What BL version did you flash? 2 or 4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kylelopez20:
Version 4, (second of the latest)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] dray:
ok so I can flash from ATT BL v2 to Tmobile bl v4? TIA!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] dogredwing1:
Here what mine shows when I turn on WiFi Calling so I'm pretty sure it won't work using a Att sim.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] kylelopez20:
It works because it uses T-Mobile SIM (Metro) and I have experienced Wi-Fi Calling on my different phones.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hotelmariofan:
I just received a new Sprint Galaxy S7 Edge in the mail a few days ago. As I was applying a new screen cover, I noticed a very small green piece (what I assumed was plastic) sticking out from the edge of the phone (though not by much, it didn't even make it passed the silver metallic looking frame). It bothered me quite a bit (maybe more than it should), but I was also concerned that maybe this piece went in deeper than I could see, and compromised the water resistance (glue seal). So, I grabbed a small razor blade and, without actually sticking it into the edge of the phone, just tried to move the plastic piece. After a little bit of moving, I got it to actually come out. It was a green triangular plastic piece pictured in the attached image.

So what could this piece be from? Should I be concerned? Should I return the phone and wait however many days for another and be out the $10 spent on a screen protector?

Any input would be appreciated.

Edit:

I've attached an image showing where exactly the piece was lodged.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] RileyIssKing:
Was it under the actual screen or the screen protector?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hotelmariofan:
I've updated the original post with an image showing where exactly the piece was lodged. It was between the screen itself and the metal/plastic piece outlining the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] RileyIssKing:
If you have had the phone long Idk if there is much you can do because I don't think it would have come from Samsung like that. It may have been in your pocket and it just ended up happening. Sorry if I was no help.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hotelmariofan:
I've had it for 3 days and only just opened it yesterday, so it has received one day of use, and I noticed this soon after opening the box and applying the screen cover.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] RileyIssKing:
Take it to a Samsung center (usually inside of a best buy) and talk to them. If it was a Samsung made problem then you should be able to get your phone replaced or repaired under your warranty if your water seal is broken.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] grneyez:
Put it in water and see if the seal is broken, do it now before the return period ends. If it takes in water, return it, If not I would not be to concerned.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] hotelmariofan:
While it has IP68 rating, they don't guarantee that it's waterproof, so IIRC, they don't actually cover the phone for water damage. So if the seal is in fact compromised, I'd be screwed.
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] grneyez:
Then return the phone and get it exchanged.

[Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers] metko:
Hi im a little sceptical about this wireless charging, as i had a Galaxy S6 with witch i used a 5$ 1A wireless charger (with original fast charger head ) and i think it ruined my battery as when the phone got 15% there were occasions where the phone would get from 15% to 2% in just a minute and after plugging it in it would go immediate 10%. Now that i have the s7edge i don't want to make the same mistake again i was thinking of getting a genuine "Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Charger Stand ", my question is does wireless charging affect battery lifespan (on the long run) or is it the same as using wired fast charging. I really like to keep the stock battery and prolong its lifespan as where i live i don't have access to genuine replacement parts and would get a chinase fake battery and i would lose water resistance. Also i charge my phone over the night.
