Hi umbrokhan, Thank you for getting back to me, i have Smartswitch installed and synced to my pc , However i am not getting any updates through it whatsoever?

I am 6.0.1 Model SM-G925F, I have clicked on the link you provided and in the search bar i have put i my model number this provides various downloads, But, with different regions, How do i identify my region?

I am in UK, and using Virgin, if i can download this i'd be happier to google / search how to update Manually.

Do you happen to know which region i'd need to download?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] gunzo71:
I have an interesting issue .. not similar to the hidden.img issue ..

I have the update failed at system.img download .. and it just hangs there about 90% complete (memory not an issue).. waited about 15mins before I reset the phone manually and force fail the odin download .. had to reload a marshmallow firmware to reset the phone

Hoping someone has an idea whats going on
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] umbrokhan:
You can download any country firmware using the same model as your phone SM-G925F And flashing with Odin.

Make sure your phone is unlocked.

Samsung updates suck.

You download firmware from sammobile Web site get correct model which is SM-G925F. Can be any country with same model
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] joecool666:
new firmware's available on sammobile .regards
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] :
The PHN firmware is still not released (Netherlands unbranded). I heard that XEU (United Kingdom/Ireland) can be installed on the SM-G925F PHN without any probs. Can anyone confirm this?

If I install the XEU version via Odin, phone will get a factory reset right?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] joecool666:
no but make a backup first if u update with switch you will get factory reset.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] :
So, Start Odin , load the XEU firmware in it (AP) , download it to my phone (PNH), let it upgrade, I will still have my apps/data on it? :) Just want to be sure :D

UPDATE: Everything runs fine :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] slimsta:
Well im having no joy at all, id really appreciate some help, ive waited so patiently for an OTA Update and im so fed up, i'm thinking of selling my S6 Edge, How taken in i was by moving over to Android, If i remove my sim and tried an OTA Update would that work? I am on virgin and feel by the time my update arrives everything would have move to bloody "Oreo" or O!! Absolute Joke, anyone care to help or Advise please?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] joecool666:
no it wont work if you take out your sim.im on virgin aswel btu but i changed it to xeu and got the update. other wise youll have to wait.regards.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] slimsta:
Hi joecool666, Thanks for the prompt reply, is there any chance you can give me a little detail on what you actually did to get the update?

I have Odin3_v3.04 and have also downloaded XEU-G925FXXU5EQDH-20170428145522

Hope you can help??
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] joecool666:
okay i use odin3.11.1 download carhdrom leave thanks. install carhd rom v.27.3via twrp. when you install carhd rom you will see in aroma csc code tap xeu and install what you want. dont change kernal in aroma leave it as is.then let it install and bootup. maybe flash 2 times just so the csc sticks. then dowmload g925fxxu5dqa7 xeu/ and flash via odin . you might need to repeat thease steps to get eveythig to sit well. do this and let me konw how you get on.rember you flash at your own risk my friend.please read the rom developers install guide and always leave thanks to them for there hard work.regards joe

you will hit boot loops DON'T PANIC factory reset okay. power-home-vol up.and don't forget to backup your ROM.

if this helps hit the thanks friends.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] slimsta:
Probably laughable, and really appreciate your time for replying once again, just all too daunting for me, its a real shame, i thought Android would be a piece of Cake, i've installed Samsung Kies for drivers and followed a googled searched tutorial which gave a link for Odin 3.04, i downloaded that, i also downloaded XEU-G925FXXU5EQDH-20170428145522, i don't really know what i'm doing, and nearly bricked my phone, absolute pile of dogs dollop! Never again and infact the way its going im seriously thinking of going back to iphone, all i want is the latest firmware on my phone, I'm just not confident enough to run the different programs, but in all fairness it shouldn't have to be that way, Just want to say thank you for your help and advice and i apologise for wasting your time, best regards
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] joecool666:
no problem friend i understand good luck with your new adventure regards Joe.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] N00BY0815:
Hey man, I just need to reply to you. I had the same problem a few years back with a different device. I always wanted the latest and greatest. But you should really ask yourself: Do I need it, or do I juat want to have it because it has a higher version number? If you honestly require one of the features, then sure, grab an unbranded phone next time and be sure to be among the first ones to receive updates. If you dont really NEED it, either just stick with what you have, as long as it works (remember to never change a running system), or flash an unbranded version of the ROM, which really is super easy. Just make sure you have read a few guides before actually performing the flash and carefully read what you should backup in case of a failure and what you need to unbrick your device. And like the person before me stated already: Dont panic, but just use google and you ll be fine.

Cheers

Hi Nooby0815

Firstly thanks for your post, I eventually ended up using Odin and upgraded to Nougat, your right its no biggy getting the latest firmware it was the way my network provider in general were dragging their feet with releasing the firmware for my particular model that annoyed me, there were a couple of features I wanted on Nougat, and as im due to go abroad I didn't want my phone nausing up whilst away, thanks again for your time
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] _sukre:
Where did you download the ROM from cos sammobile is very slow? Secondly, how did you backup your entire phone without missing anything? My phone is unlocked 925F. I ll appreciate it if you can reply asap. Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] _sukre:
Hello nooby0815. Lest I forget, my phone is 925f. Unlocked or unbranded and it's BTU.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] joecool666:
agreed 100 percent regards.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] _sukre:
Pls reply my messages. Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] N00BY0815:
I m sorry I didn't respond earlier. I got the Update via an OTA, so I did not have to do a backup. But if I had to, I would juat copy all my stuff from the internal storage to my PC and the rest should be backed up in my Google account. You can mostly find the ROMs also, if you just google for the name of the ROM and select whatever download source that seems legit and offers a fast download speed. I think most ROMs can also be found in certain threads here on xda.

Cheers
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] _sukre:
Thanks so much for the response. It's a pity, Samsung UK wouldn't push the update via OTA. I recieved a security patch 2 weeks ago and nothing since then. Also, I recently did a backup via smart switch, I dunno if it backs up the entire phone cos I don't want to lose anything upon restoring.

I've searched the web but most ROMS I found couldn't be downloaded cos the links already expired. I will be glad if you can help out. I just need a free, clean, unlocked and unbranded ROM free from bloatware.

Finally, are you experiencing any problems on the Nougat update? What model do you have? Was the update pushed by Samsung or your carrier? I learnt it's got battery and fast charge issues. I dunno if it's a general thing or not. Pls do reply, perhaps I could have Nougat running by weekend. Hope I didn't ask too much questions.

Thanks in advance
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] N00BY0815:
https://www.samdownloads.de/download/g925fxxu5eqdf-dbt-7-0-germany/

This link should allow you to download the ROM that I am using. If you don't understand it, because it is german, google this:

g925fxxu5eqdf

And this should be the UK version:

G925FXXU5EQAC

Just check some of the links out and see if they offer fast downloads.

I personally wouldnt update again. My phone seems slower, I have network problems and I also read fastcharging doesnt work (I personally dont use it, because it heats up the battery too much). So if you don't need it, wait a couple of weeks, then just take the OTA, as soon as it is available. Also I cant use one of my email accounts (university) anymore. So like I already said before. If you dont need it, wait. It's not that special and only caused bugs on my end. Find my model in my signature. Update was pushed by Samsung.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] _sukre:
Perhaps I ll wait then just that it's taking a whole long time and it looks as though it won't come up anymore. Thanks so much for the help. Gracias!

hello,

is there a way to find out when a new firmware is being released? i have a SM-G925F PHN, but still no update :(

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Laaglander:

[Galaxy S6 Edge General] _sukre:
Check [MENTION=870661]sammobile[/MENTION] or sammobile.com or live.samsung-updates.com
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] iDroid27210:
It is working

That's normal if you see an XML file only

Check on the <latest> If the firmwares starts with G925FXXU5E, Nougat is rolling out for PHN ***VIA OTA***

(btw SamMobile and all others are only purposing prebuilt firmwares which becomes available some days after OTA publish)
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Laaglander:

925I XSA

I received via OTA an update to 7.0 for my 925I (XSA).

Been trying to find any confirmation or other details of it but haven't seen any.

When I check for the latest for OPS, it brings me back to 6.0.1

I assume this is the real deal, but just can't find any full FW elsewhere.

Anyone else with the same FW already updated?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Eudemony:
SM-G925I/XSA/G925IDVU3FQD1/G925IXSA3FQC3/G925IDVU3FQC5/G925IDVU3FQD1 is the real deal :good:

no OPS or TEL 7.0 yet, only VAU and it seems XSA soon!
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DTBrum:
Downloaded this, thanks. Am I OK to flash it or do I need to do anything first? I am on stock 6.0.1 with Three UK. Obviously the 3Uk version isn't out yet, plus I'd like to get rid of any of their software and boot screens. So will the BTU cause an issue being on H3G?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] AntonPres:
No issue, your csc might be changed to btu
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] kurtslashmx:
Can i flash this with Odin? If not, where can i get a .tar file. NO custom recovery, only Odin mode :(

Flashed it with no issues. Status still genuine. All working well.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Rackers:
I'm on Three as well and fed up with waiting for an update.

Did you factory reset or just flash over with Odin?

Thanks
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Wing00w0:
Ok I just hope some of you can solve some of my doubts.

1) I have a G925i from Mexico, it would work well the firmware of the Indian, I say I want the keyboard in Spanish, I do not know if it includes it

2) I read in the forum that remove the hidden.img; In which it affects that they remove it or that they leave it?

3) I have seen in video that after flash the firmware they manually flash the hidden.img.tar and doing so does a factory reset, is there any way I do not do the factory reset or is it required?

4) my cell was unlocked (for any carrier) through the root, and obviously change the firmware would remove the root and "unlocked" any page to unlock it by imei that is effective?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Krishhacker:
well it would include spanish keyboard and the only way u can flash a firmware without factory resetting your phone is to bac it up with software such as titanium backup or by your recovery
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] Wing00w0:
Thanks but I still have 2 unsolved questions.

What happens if you don't flash the hidden.img and what are the benefits of flashing it?
[Galaxy S6 Edge General] DTBrum:
Nope, no reset - just used Odin to flash the unzipped file. Went on a treat. No issues at all. everything running smoothly and didn't have to reinstall any software or change any settings.
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubester:
Hello everyone,

I noticed that after updating my Mate 8 to Android 7, my screen seems to have an Auto brightness functionality going on, even though I've turned auto-brightness off.

For example, when my screen is in direct sunlight, I notice that my apps are brighter, and when I cover my light sensor they become darker even though my brightness is set to max all the time.

Anyone know why this happens?
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Samavb:
Increase readability under sunlight - option

There is an option in developer options

Please check the screenshot.

Increase visibility under sunlight

Check if this option is turned on. If it is on then switch it off and see if your problem is resolved. :good:
[Mate 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cubester:
Hey, thanks! I didn't know that option was there.

I've turned it off now, and I'll see if this fixes my issue.
[About XDA developers] Ralaxy:
Hello forum,

I am concerned about privacy* so I would like to have a phone which respects this. In the past I flashed Cyanogenmod on my own to have some more control than with factory ROM.

Now I need a new phone and CM is about to become something new and things are getting complexer every day, so I think it is time to hand over the administration of my phone to professional hands.

What I need and what I would pay for:

recommendation of a smartphone HW and OS which offers the level of privacy* which I expect

buying of device and initial installation of OS

solving problem when they occur (preferable via email or phone)

maintaining the device if an update is needed

...

(I can provide a detailed specification)

Now my question:

Is xda-developers forum the right place to get in contact with someone, who is offering this sort of service?

As I live in Germany, it would be an advantage to have this contact within EU to minimize custom and delivery delays.

If this is the wrong place to ask, would you please point me to the right direction?

Thanks in advance

Ralaxy

[G 2014 General] LDAP98:
If you flash the files maching you location you shouldn't experience any disadvantages. Read the FAQ mentioned in the first post. I can't say if it fixes the gps problem, cause I didn't had any problems. Theoretically you can't loose.

RETDE could be also installed on a other titan. But to use services in Germany RETDE is the right one.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokoko3k:
Since i'm playing with amplify and power nap on my asus ze551ml (lollipop 5.0 with boret's kernel), i faced the following:

When the screen is off, the device doesn't go to sleep mode, or at least i think so.

I'm doing my testing with telegram; i said to amplify to limit his alarms to 1 every 10 minutes, and it is working fine undernight (BBS confirms that)

Now i'm even trying Power Nap, which is supposed to completely stop Telegram (and others).

Anyway, if i put the screen off, and then send a message to my telegram account, the phone still receives it almost instantly (3 seconds delay).

This clearly means that telegram is still active and kicking, it is not using any wakelock, it is alive all the time.

But, i repeat, it works overnight (Better battery stats confirms that amplify is limiting his alarms).

Another strange thing, is that i've configured com.asus.powersave to disable wifi as soon as the device enters sleep state, but when i wakeup my phone in the morning and see the BBS statistics from "screen off" to "screen on", it shows that wifi has been active for more than 18 minutes, so here's the question:

Is there a time/timeout to wait after one tunr off the screen for the phone to enter in standby/sleep mode?

And if yes, is that time configurable?

Thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kokoko3k:
I made a test that confirmed what BBS said; i turned the screen off and start to ping my android wifi ip.

After about 18 minutes (that's the time BBS said wifi was active after the whole night), it stopped responding to pings and telegram of course wasn't workling anymore.

Is it possible to change that timeout to something lower?
[Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers] Slash_Network:
Hi,

What is this icon on the status bar of my GS7 please ?

[IMG="Icon"]http://i.imgur.com/xYUf5mO.jpg[/IMG]
[Off-topic] BritSwedeGuy:
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2017/03/09/exclusive_home_office_freezes_zte/

The UK has suspended ZTE from the immigration scheme used by foreign companies to allow foreign nationals to work locally, The Register can exclusively reveal.

The Home Office has suspended the Tier 2 visa sponsor license for the Chinese state-owned telecomms giant, the fourth largest supplier of telecommunications equipment in the world.

The Register understands that ZTE had not fulfilled its duties under the Tier 2 scheme, which includes a “robust compliance system”.

Home Office staff have been increasing their inspections of Tier 2 visa scheme sponsors over the past year.

ZTE is absent from the most recent register of Tier 2 sponsors, which is updated daily (pdf).

It is not clear what specific duties the business did not follow, but we understand the Home Office is in discussions about a new Tier 2 sponsor license for ZTE.

The telco kit maker has operated in the UK since 2001. It can continue to trade in the country and hire UK resident staff and EEA workers, as well as non-EEA nationals who already have a visa in the UK.

The US placed ZTE on a list of banned companies in April 2016. Earlier this week it agreed to pay a $1.2bn fine to settle charges of breaking sanctions on Iran and North Korea.

Preliminary financial results for 2016 showed ZTE turned over 100 Yuan (£12.05bn) in sales, up one per cent on the prior year due to a "slight increase" in business with carriers and smartphone consumers.

A Home Office spokesperson told us, "We do not routinely comment on individual cases.”

ZTE said that for "legal reasons, ZTE has no comment at this stage".
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dharvey4651:
While messing around over at PPCGeeks, I found an app created by a guy called KidGixxer called HTC Performance. It allows you to overclock a Vogue up to 624Mhz with a CPUScaler that will speed up or decrease your CPU speed from 300Mhz to 624Mhz as needed.

I can personally vouge for this app because I am using it on my new Touch and I am only overclocking to 520Mhz. It is what I would like to call STUPID FAST. I know that the Titan is somewhat lacking in the RAM department so I thought I would drop by and announce my discovery for someone here to try AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Here is the link: HTC Performance
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] dcd1182:
doesnt do much for me.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] binny1007:
same here it worked great on my 6700 but does not seem to do anything on my 6800.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] Shadowmite:
you do understand the cpu of the titan/kaiser is very different from everything else. No existing cpu scaler app is gonna work. It has to interface directly with the dual core cpu in our devices (1 core running linux for the phone rom, 1 core running wince for wm6).
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] friguy33:
this has been discussed over and over. the 6800 has a qualcom processor and there is nothing right now that can overclock our phones. do no try anything including xcpuscaler b/c it will just lock up your phone. second that program had questionable results on the 6700, no change in benchmarks and most was probably just placebo effects.
[Mogul, XV6800 ROM Development] blazingwolf:
It does not cause any lockups on the XV6800. I have had it in several ROMs. I noticed no benefits from the program but nothing harmfull either.
