[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] geach:
Today I tried to use my phone as a mobile hotspot and couldn't get things to work fully. My laptop would connect via wifi but would not connect to the internet and my phone didn't show any connected devices. I tried tethering with similar results.

About three years ago this worked just fine on my phone when I needed to use it last time. The main differences now is I am using windows 10 and newer version of android. Build G900TUVU1GPE1 of the stock firmware. I do have it rooted using the Odin method described in another thread. Also I am on the 30$ t-mobile plan from Walmart if that matters at all.

With this information is there anything else I can do to make the my phone work as a hotspot?

Hello.

First of all i am new.

I flashed my device with a 10 mb rom, and my device is really really slow now. So i want to recover to what it was from the start, a danish rom i have on my computer.

But i cant connet to activesync. It just keeps "Connecting" and after a half minute it gives me an error.

What to do ?

Its a G4 CID locked Device (Wizard)

What is the difference between dirty flash and clean flash ???
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] NinjaL:
Clean flash wipes data and factory resets the device where dirty flash flashes over existing rom if I'm not mistaken
[Honor 5X Questions & Answers] Potato997:
Dirty flash is flashing a ROM over another one without any wipes, but can cause problems, instability, bootloops and crashes.

Clean install is when you wipe system, data, cache and dalvik cache before flashing. Clean install is always recommend because it will usually avoid all the problems caused by dirty flash.

update the android version from 6.0.1 to 7 and mifavor to 4.2 on feb 8 2017. Since then the phone doesn't detect any sim card , gsm or cdma, in any slot.

I tried rebooting, resetting network settings, changed sim card slots, put a gsm and then changed to cdma.

tried all combinations and yet the phone does'nt detect a sim card.

Any suggestions? Anyone else have that problem?

[General Questions and Answers] ShinraTensei04:
So I've got V4A pre-installed in a stock-based android 5.0 rom. It works all well(only when I reboot my phone with the headphone jack plugged in). If I remove the jack, then place it back, V4A stops working no matter what I try thereafter. Only rebooting again with the jack in solves it. Even rebooting the phone, and then putting in the jack won't get V4A to fire up. I've already tried clearing the background processes of V4A and the music app, but it still doesn't work. Anyone can help?

EDIT: It also works after rebooting without audio jack plugged in.

Hello Note Edge user...i have seen in some threads that post 6.0 upgrade many users are facing reboots issue @ 30% (some where around) battery level and some not facing even [MENTION=5181762]10%[/MENTION] ...Hence i have created this thread so that they can help us in any way... Its an request to non rebot user to provide their firmware version details so that we can try it out..

Also anyone can suggest whether there is any way to overcome this.

Thanks in advance..
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zsmalik1:
Hey man, sorry to hear that you are also facing the same problem :( Can you share some specifics?

- Have you ever rooted your phone?

- Does your phone shut down within seconds of opening snapchat, regardless of the current battery level?

- Have you experienced totally unstable performance, like sudden battery level drops of 20-30%?

- Have you tried going back to a lower firmware?

- Have you tried removing the SD card, if any?

Let's work together to understand our problem better and hope for a solution :)
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mujaid714:
hey bro thanks for ur response....

Here are my answer

1. Currently not rooted as on fresh firmware 5.1.1

2.no.. battery level dropping is normal...it also never drops after reboot too... But some time from 40 to 14 then battery low warning and shut down.....and some time it automatically reboot...only samsung logo appear again reboot.and i dont usw snapchat.

3.i faced this issue in 6.0 so i lowered it to 5.1.1 but still same..

4.no i havet tried removing sd card...i have 64gb sd card installed.

Over all i think its firmware problem...hence waiting for reply from edge users as some are not facing.

Hope i have answered ur query. We will work and get out a solution.
[Note Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zsmalik1:
Hey man,

So,

Couple of things about my problem so that we can maybe point out similarities and maybe a common cause.

- I had my phone rooted the first time the problem appeared (android 4.4.4)

- I updated my phone to Lollipop, and that's when i first started getting hints of this problem

- At first i thought, it was a charging issue. but it started happening more and more often.

- now, it pretty much happens everyday and is making my life miserable.

- I started to notice that my battery roughly dies around 37%. From what i've read online, this battery level can be different from person to person.

- From the moment it dies, it restarts itself and goes into a bootloop.

- The moment i plug it back in, it show a battery level of 0%.

- And then, within a few minutes, the battery level goes back to where it initially was when it first died.

- My battery discharge was really turbulent, the whole graph was a mess. I would see sharp drop till I would reach the dreaded 30% area.

- I noticed that right after I enter snapchat, it takes about 3-5 seconds for the reboot to happen. This happens regardless of the battery level as it has once happened to me at about 80% battery.

- The best thing that ever happened to me was when i first took out my SD card. It was 64 GB samsung sd card so i thought it would really mesh together well. I never thought about it being a possible cause. Boy was i wrong, turns out my battery performance almost returned to normal. Got to about 75% after 9 hours. No snapchat but again around the 11 hour mark. I launched chrome and the BAM, it happened again :'(

- I decided to unroot and return to 4.4.4 thinking that a custom kernel was the problem.

- Still No Luck :(

I have read many places online that it maybe an issue with the battery. But, I refuse to believe that is the issue. i have also tried another battery. although i think it may have been fake. Haven't tried a replacement OEM battery yet.

I would suggest a few things you can do:

- For starters take a screenshot of your current battery usage charts and then once the problem happens, remove the SD card and charge your phone while powered off and report back with another screenshot so that we can compare and see if removing the SD card has had any positive effect.

- Please clarify if you have ever rooted? sorry I was unable to fully understand from your answer.

Guys after a lot of search found something to save much more battery life, worked for me, give a try:

1,open dialer and dial *#0228#

2,after dialing *#0228# the battery status menu will popup.

3,hit ( quick start ) at bottom of the screen in red color

4,hit ( yes ) and go to settings/battery and disable fast charging for 1 charge only.

5,power off the phone and charge to 100%.

6,turn on the phone and if it shows 97,98,99 plug in charger again and charge to 100%.

7,once it charge to 100% unplug charger and this will create new battery calibration status automatically.now you can enable fast charge again.

8, Next go to play store and download wakelock power app and install it. Open the app and hit (PARTIAL WAKE LOCK) as in screenshot below.

This app will help the cpu to run much more efficient and smoother and also prevent device from over heating and this app does not require root access.

Download wakelock power app link below.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...u.thedarken.wl

THIS METOHOD WORKS ONLY WITH STOCK OFFICIAL FIRMWARE IF YOU ARE RUNNING AOSP ROMS/CYANOGENMOD ROMS/NOTE7 ROMS/S7EDGE ROMS/ OR OTHER PORTED ROMS DIALING *#0228# MAY NOT WORK. (SOME PORTS COULD WORK LIKE Dr. KetanRom, EnhancedRom, RamRom.)

Thanks for the help,I appreciate it but unfortunately it's still restarting and getting stuck in a boot loop and this continues until I plug my phone in. This battery is only 8 months old. And this problem didn't start until the last security update. It's getting worse every day. It started happening at 80%, now when my phone gets to 98% it goes into this boot loop. I have the Verizon version. Maybe I'll try a factory reset

Now you're getting somewhere,from the sounds of it.

It almost sounds like the security system in the phone is seeing something it doesn't like on startup and doing a reboot to try and purge it.

- I understand connection is limited to (3G) how's the 3G connection holding up?

-Does it have trouble loading web pages on the internet, YouTube playback, streaming music like pandora?

-Camera, I believe Xiaomi pulled OIS in this model. How does the camera compare to LG,Samsung etc? Or is it horrible?

My main concern is the data connection and camera.i don't mind having 3G as long as it's still connecting fast enough and fluid.any input on this device for people who are using this in the united States would greatly appreciate it. Thanks
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] ACosta92:
1 and 2 - I really don't have knowledge of US Bands but in Europe, I use 4G at work (I work at Lisbon, Capital of Portugal) and 3G at home (Living on the other side of the river) and I have no problems with youtube reproduction, webpage loading, online gaming, etc.

3 - Well, it doens't have OIS because of the size of the sensor. My 5S has a excellent photo quality but lacks some stabilization on video but nothing to get concerned about it.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] bozy09:
for 4g to work in europe we need band 20 which the mi5s is missing, I don't know about the bands which are used in the US but you probably can't use 4g there either. Does this effect 3G? I don't think it does so I don't think there would be a problem with using 3G. As for the camera, it uses the same sensor as the google pixel although its not as good. it takes really good pictures even when compared to the s7 although not quite up to par but this MAY (according to others the chance of this is low) be changed with a port from the google pixel. Hope I've helped :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] patoberli:
4g also works on other bands in Europe, but it depends on the provider. Here in Switzerland with Swisscom I have most of the time 4G, only in very rural areas I don't have 4G.
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] B!GBOY:
well, that's not entirely true. For 4g to work your phone must support the band that YOUR operator uses. here is a list for reference:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks

for example in germany only O2 and T mobile use band 20 and even though my operator uses O2's network I still have 4G because they use different band in deferent places.

about the US, the chances are pretty slim so check to see which ones you need.

I think from the bands in the US, its only 5 and 41 that mi5s supports but don't quote me on that :)
[Xiaomi Mi 5s Questions & Answers] thecresta:
To answer your question - 3G performance is great, as good as any other phone I've used, if not better.

Google "willmyphonework" to get a good idea how the phone will work on your carrier.

Watch out for a green 3G tick, which means the phone wont fully support all of that carrier's 3G bands.

Caliberate it once.. drain the battery till your phone switches off and then charge it with the official cable and switch on only when 100% is complete... that should help...

Why dead?

Upgrade to MM by manual update (placing MM firmware in internal storage and automatically update OS) then after I found many bugs in wifi connection & bad performance, I decide to downgrade it to LL again using xFSTK downloader using 3 files which is fnx dwr, ifwi, image os files from amtech.vn. The proces was success until FW & OS download,, but not directly go to bootloader screen after 4 colors bar.

Trying button combinations, replug power pin, trying different cable & PC and OS (win7, XP, win8) trials for 5 days straight but still fail (300~ trials).

I surrender to ubrick with xFSTK 1.7.0 and trying to use Intel Phone Flash Tool 5.5.2.0. Because this software also have xFSTK feature and GPflash setting

[HTC Tornado] MazdaGTI:
Can I increase ROM size by using my phones Storege Card?

Sorry if there is allready Topic for this, but Search did´nt find match :(
[HTC Tornado] Exitao:
You can preserve your ROM size be keeping everything possible on the SD. But you will not be able to make the ROM bigger.

Most ROMs are maximised to keep the size as small as possible. However there becomes a point of diminishing returns because the ROM image has to be a certain size and if you make it smaller and flash it, the final ROM on the device will be bigger than the smallest allowable (i.e. there will be permanently lost space).

So, essentially, a ROM will always be ROM sized, unless you add more to it and Biggie Size it.

In the development forums, I read of a guy who seeming managed to get the OS to us the SD for many of the purposes that the OS would use temporarily use storage or RAM for. Maybe you feel like test driving that for us and reporting how well it worked?

Hello everyone, I'm running on a resurrection remix ROM based on marshmallow. Previously I had cm13, when flashing the ressuruction ROM I wiped everything except internal and SD. After the first boot completed I had EVERY single piece of data the same , I had my wallpaper, my apps, Bluetooth pairings and everything else located in /data and I got a LOT of fc's from Google play services framework. I went to my file manager and looked for /storage/emulated/0 but there was actually no symlink of my internal. I found my internal storage in /data/media/0 but what's the use, I can't even capture a picture as all apps don't have access to /data without root. So I decided to go to my recovery and wipe my data. This time my data successfully got wiped like usual but the symlinking problem was still present. I went to my recovery and wiped my internal thinking my problem would be fixed but it didn't. Even when I flashed the cm 13 ROM I had the data wiping problem but I never had symlinking problems.

I would assume that I could flash stock recovery but a. I don't have the stock recovery.img, and b. I was reading around and someone mentioned that if I flashed stock recovery it'd delete all my data.
