[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmy999x:
Depending on the range of the smartphone, the manufacturers give support of about 2 years, after that they are totally forgotten (except samsung, they forget the mid-range smartphones at 4 months LOL)

To tell you the truth, we s5 mini users, we are very lucky that samsung has remembered us, almost never happens
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morthawt:
Thanks. I thought it was weird when I saw an update come up for a whole new OS... I love my S5 mini again, although I am looking for an upgrade to save for that's similar size but better than what I have in the S5 mini. Closest I can figure is A3 2017 but not sure.

For now, till I get more info I will enjoy my renewed S5 mini with, now, epic battery life in comparison.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmy999x:
Doze works very well in the s5 mini, is very good no doubt, personally I recommend using some custom rom, do not have samsung applications and are extremely fast, also have new versions of android (7.1.1 in this case) Of course they are in beta and contain bugs, but they are still very good
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morthawt:
Well a while back I tried to get a standard rom that was not from DBT (my handset is german, from ebay and it was cheaper) but it would not boot up. So I had to re-flash stock DBT firmware to get it to work. I remember trying Cyanogen mod on my old S4 mini but the compass did not work and a few other things. I cannot use a rom if basic phone features don't work. But with my experience of trying a different rom on my S5 mini, I bet custom roms would not work. I did get it rooted a couple times though although now I stick with unrooted so more standard apps work.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmy999x:
How strange, it is normal that the cyanogenmod build does not work well at first, since it is a progressive development, even let me guess, you have the variant g800h?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morthawt:
F I believe.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmy999x:
That is very strange, since the custom rom of this forum work very well for the variants F / M / Y, since they are the same device but dedicated to different markets (M in my case since I am in South America), The problem lies in the H variant, since it assembles a totally different processor and it is difficult to compile some custom rom for that variant, you should try some, I personally recommend this rom, very very good, you still have to polish one or another detail, But can be used daily

And if you are one of those who like to customize your android to the fullest, I recommend this rom

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5-mini/development/rom-resurrection-remix-n-5-8-2-t3562523

Both are based on the latest version of android, greetings :)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morthawt:
Thanks. I have bookmarked it. Although it seems every rom I have seen has issues for some reason. Whether in my experience with Cyanogen where the compass stops working and something else which I care about, or that one and tethering and hotspot etc. I just have been kind of burned from the excitement of my first custom rom failing me on the feature front and seeing big known issues with other custom ones I have seen. Not to mention I would want to avoid having some apps refuse to work like my banking app, google apps or Android Pay etc. But I have bookmarked it though in case because it seems cyanogen mod's site has gone down, which is not a good sign and any way they never supported S5 mini which was depressing. Are there any roms that are feature-perfect with no show stoppers on the S5 mini?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmy999x:
Cyanogen mod died, now called lineage os, is basically the same, the s5 mini, does not have official support by cyanogen (lineage os), but fortunately in this forum we have developers who take the trouble to create custom roms for We, those 2 roms that I left in the links are extremely functional, maybe one or the other does not work, but what if
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morthawt:
If I was unable to use a different country code or what ever (Like mine is DBT) firmware for the same actual legit firmware for my S5 mini, doesn't that mean a third party rom would equally fail to boot as well?
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmy999x:
I do not understand exactly what you mean, but if the question is, if custom roms may or may not work in one country or another, as far as I know, they would have to work without any problem, as long as the bootloader is unlocked , A common problem is the loss of line, ie the device can not communicate with the operator, therefore no calls or sms, but that is solved using odin and flashing the baseband (there is also a post In this forum on that)
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morthawt:
Firmware has various ones you can get based on the carrier or country or what ever. My phone needs me to download the DBT firmware. I tried choosing one someone recommended which was also a stock genuine rom for my phone but not DBT, it was one that they said was as close to raw Android possible. I flashed it and it would not boot. They gave me reasons and all kinds of complex more indepth things I would have to do all kinds of hacky piecemeal techniques to get the other rom to work. I was not interested, using odin, selecting a file and waiting is nerve racking enough for me without having to go 3 levels more complex than that. So the only thing I could do was flash the DBT version back on the phone and it worked again.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kom-pakt:
DBT is a very clean firmware in regard to branding so no need to switch to anything else, it has only 3 apps which can be uninstalled without rooting.

As for the updates I believe that Marshmallow is the final official update we're getting, there could be a couple security patch updates though. Like many users I was pleasantly surprised that we're getting 6.0.1 considering that we're talking about a 3 year old midrange Samsung which in smartphone years is a long time.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morthawt:
Thanks.

I certainly was shocked when I saw 6.0.1 or Marshmallow or what ever it said on the screenshot. Jaw dropped with excitement.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inejco:
I don't know how guys can use Samsung's BS. KitKat, Lolipop or Marshmallow they all run poorly on my mini, and there's a lot of annoying slowdowns even when just scrolling twitter.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morthawt:
I highly recommend you factory reset your device. Prior to this Marshmallow update my phone was a constipated donkey. Just slow and sluggish as hell even doing the most basic of things. I got the Marshmallow update and it did feel a lot better. I factory reset and put my crucial apps back on and my phone is perfect again.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inejco:
I would really like to see video showing how quick it is. Because I believe it will still be slower than Slim6.

And when scrolling is slow I get triggered as f.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morthawt:
I have no idea what Slim6 is. What I do know is I was getting ready to throw my phone in the trash and save up for a new phone, till I got the Marshmallow update. Now my phone feels like a brand spanking new upgrade after the crap experience I have been having. Snappy, responsive, everything is working well. Perfect. Pshhh not to mention idle battery life has vastly improved.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inejco:
It's custom rom for F variant of S5 mini. Battery was never a problem for me on marshmallow from Samsung though.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morthawt:
Every custom rom I have ever tried has had issues. Never been as smooth as the original firmware. I may root a phone in the future MAYBE but I think I am more inclined to be far more pedestrian with my modding of my phones. Root is nice but some things don't work, then you have to try and work around that and it's just too much work. Now my dad's phone in my old S4 mini and root is crucial there because I have a firewall installed so that web browsing will work on wifi but will NOT work when out and about on normal data, so he doesn't accidentally rack up charges on the phone. Yet google's find the phone and basic email will continue to function. I do not think I can achieve that without root. So in that case I'll be fine with it.

All I can say about MM update on my S5 mini is it runs flawlessly and is about as good as I think this hardware could get.
[Galaxy S5 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] inejco:
Well that was not my expirence with it and I'm done with it. Battery life on custom ROM I use is a bit worse but it is enough to get through day or two if not used much. How you people can live without root on ADroid is beyond me. Ads are cancer and only way you can really remove them from apps is with root.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] blaudares:
I just bought a new Huawei Nova - CAZ-TL10 in China. It cames with the regular chinese firmware version: CAZ-TL10C01B170

I want to update it to an international firmware with Google Play and all other features that I doesn't have in my chinese version.

I had a Huawei P6 and P7 and was easier to update the firmware from original chinese Android to an international version, but for this Huawei Nova I didn't found many information and a firmaware compatible with it.

Does anyone have the same problem and already solved it?

Thanks!
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] wangdaning:
Why not try and report on what happens?
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] blaudares:
I download an international firmware (CAN-L11 C432 B320), but it failed to install in my Huawei Nova CAZ-TL10.

Most information that I've found are to update Huawei Nova that already came with an international version (CANNES or CAN models).

I didn't found many information about my version such as how install Google Play or update this firmware:

Model Number: Huawei CAZ-TL10

Built number: CAZ-TL10C01B170

EMUI 4.1

Android 6.0
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] mArIuS%:
Ask the seller if it's possible and how to install google play.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] wangdaning:
I installed google play through hiapp on my CAZ-AL10. It works, but you cannot update the playstore or it will send you an error.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] Vinnom:
If you update it to emui 5, google play store and features will be available, at least it was for me. Just apply for it at HiCare app > Update and if it is available, then you be able to update.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] alirezaircn:
I have Nova from China too. After updating to 5, I found 3 essential files of Google are already available in my App. Google services, account manager and framework. Then I installed other apps via Google installer app and rebooted. After reboot, run Google play store and add your account and update...that easy.
[Huawei Nova/Nova Plus Questions & Answers] Sitidor10:
I had the same issue. I added play store using hiapp as well. Has anyone figured out how to change hivoice to google play (or any other English voice recognition app) when u hold down the home button?

So my friend just came from a Galaxy s6 and has been using Android Auto (Pioneer 4100 NEX) for awhile. The pixel will not work at all when connected.

Anyone have the same issue or a resolution to it?

Thanks!
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] JET4:
Go here for help with stereo, http://avic411.com/ Also Pioneer web site has help about the Pixel and Android Auto. The biggest problem is the cords from the stereo. Some people have had to plug a " special" cord to the back of the stereo.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] farfromovin:
FWIW, my wife has a S7 edge and Avic 4200 and we had to use the Pioneer microsd cable. On my Kenwood DNX 893s I use the OEM USB A-C cable on my Pixel. Cords can make a big difference for picking up the phone. I'm not aware of any pioneer pixel issues though... Usually up to date firmware on the radios and OEM cables do the trick.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] geoff5093:
Not with that particular radio, but just to say using the USB A to C cable in my Ford Focus works just fine with Android Auto. The only issue I have is if I touch my phone or cable the wrong way it will kick it out of Auto mode for some reason.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] magnumtripod:
My GF bought a 2016 Honda Accord a few months ago and trying to navigate the touch screen and get android auto to work properly is like trying to solve a Rubiks cube. If you're plugged into the cars USB port simply to charge your phone (as a passenger) android auto keeps popping up on the screen and wanting to take over. You try to exit the screen thats prompting you to use android auto and seconds later it'll pop back up. So finally you admit defeat and try to install android auto on your phone officially and it wont install or connect with the cars stereo. IF you finally get it to work, you phone becomes completely inoperable, which kind of makes sense as you can control the music and everything from the steering wheel or the cars touch screen, but if you're a passenger it sucks because you can't do anything on your phone. If you uninstall android auto, the car stereo constantly tries to connect with your phone and wont let you do anything else. Half the problems I have are with android auto and the other half with with what I consider a crappy user interface/layout and design of the stereo. If I could murder android auto, I would do it violently.
[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] farfromovin:
I know with my Kenwood DNX893S and any Android I can swipe down from the top of the phone and choose "charging only" or something like that and the phone goes back to normal and it can be used while charging.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Guides, News, & Dis] toolhas4degrees:
you need to fresh install; the old zips modify the apk. new one just disables the icon. re odin your rom then flash the new zip after you go back though the rooting process. unless someone here has the origional file backed up for you that you can thow back into system before flashing the new zip
