[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
But it's missing a few T-Mobile and AT&T bands
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] suzook:
Oh God! Would you stop with this nonsense? It has all bands.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
Don't be mad at me that both Verizon and Samsung and each carrier list different bands. I hate them all F these companies trying to screw us all with misinformation.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] suzook:
It's SW related, I keep telling you this.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
I asked for some proof and you provided zero. I have to trust the carriers and the company that makes the phones. I didn't make the carriers all list a ton of random bands nobody needs and leave off the few we need in this country. I hate the carriers amd samsung trust me I want you to be right.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] suzook:
Stop with the drama. Note 7, and galaxy S7 are the same.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] 954wrecker:
I like how the facts I researched are drama and the speculation you spread are facts? Yet still not one link for proof of anything you keep claiming?
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ewingr:
My past rooting has been based on installing a ROM that is already rooted. For reasons I won't bother you with, I want to run EPE3 (have already moved to it), and I want to root it. No custom ROM>

Remembering that I am on EPE3, Is it as simple as:

Odin TWRP to replace stock recovery

Boot to TWRP

Let it install SU/Root

I've never done it that way. I'm not sure it is possible. I have typically seen the message "Root appears to not be installed, do you want to install SU?" That has been after installing a ROM that is rooted.

Thanks in advance.
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] psantos1091:
So I have a backup saved on my device and all roms saved internally..That's eating a lot of space.

Sometimes I may want to format the phone when things go wrong and want to be able to install via my SD card (plus save room). When I first rooted, that caused a major headache. I have a 128gb SD card, yet it shows 0mb when selected in TWRP. Do I have to format it a certain way?
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KUSOsan:
Have you mounted the sd card in TWRP? If it is, then unmount and try mounting it again. If that doesn't work then you might have to reformat the card
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] psantos1091:
To what format? I formatted it to the default thinking it was corrupted but it never was able to be read. And no it can't be mounted because it's like it's not even in.. When the phone's on though it's read perfectly
[LG V20 Questions & Answers] KUSOsan:
Maybe try flashing a fresh version of TWRP? What version are you using? It should be able to read it if your phone reads it. Is it in exFAT format?

[Google Pixel Questions & Answers] tacofart:
Wonder if someone can tell me what Im doing wrong here. Im using secure settings with Macrodroid (prefer this to tasker).

My issue is, whenever a macro is triggered that uses secure settings (for example, turn on airplane mode when connected to wifi), it will launch secure settings in the foreground in order to do it.

Also, if secure settings isnt open in the background (i.e., not in recents) and the macro is triggered, nothing will happen.

Any ideas what is going on? I know this isn't the normal behavior with secure settings, but Im stumped.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] thedunnyman:
Hi all - it sounds like the front (selfie) camera does not take the best pics.

One of the uses I wanted for the G6 is to use the back camera (the wide angle one) to take selfies instead.

I won't be able to see the screen, but with the wide angle lens, I don't really need to do much framing I'm guessing.

The only thing that I'm concerned about is the lack of auto focus and if the wide angle camera can focus on subjects about 1 metre away from them.

Does anyone have a G6 who could comment / or post a sample pic of this? This is pretty much the dealbreaker for me to get this phone.

Cheers!
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] calus:
I'm interested in the same question! Would be great if anyone could comment on this, hence bumping this thread.
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] pooyab:
Yes. Front facing camera is not as good as it should be. Specially in low light situation...

This, and lack of LED notification light are the biggest flaw to me

Back cameras takes good selfies though. I don't have any problem with framing or autofocus. Does a good job with defocusing background and shaking effect is at minimum thanks to new image stabilizing system.

Hope this help you

Cheers
[LG G6 Questions and Answers] S.AMU:
Someone here at xda calculated that all things between 35cm and infinity are in Focus for the wide angle camera.

I also made some tests and I think that he is not totaly wrong with his 35cm.

So taking selfies should be ok.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameraddict:
Serious question: Since the N6 is EOL, why would Google/Moto develop a new radio and bootloader and push it out with a security update? That seems like a fair amount of support for an EOL device.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeh258:
I don't know for certain, but from what I remember the nexus 6 had some serious problems with the 7.0 update. Maybe this is the remedy?
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameraddict:
I can't imagine it with 7.0. I've been running 7 since the day it released, never any issues. I have heard that 7.1.1 has had issues, however. So perhaps it is in regards to that??
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pkt_Lnt:
Google is still patching security vulns, and will be for some time. We are EOL but Google is hard at work making Android more secure to compete with

Apple and Samsung for the big money corporate / government sales.

https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2017-04-01.html
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cameraddict:
Yes, of course, I understand this. But I'm curious why the radio and bootloader?? Maybe I just never paid attention before, but I don't ever remember this being the case with a security update in the past, with any of the devices I've owned.

I browsed that link, I didn't see anything that seemed to pertain to patches to the radio or bootloader.
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pkt_Lnt:
Just some WAG on my part but this seems related to the bootloader.

https://source.android.com/security/verifiedboot/verified-boot

And these seem related maybe? (I'm just an old cell phone tech from the 90s-00s who is still an armchair geek.)

https://source.android.com/security/bulletin/2017-04-01

Radio?

Bootloader?

[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] Jemec26:
This is a question for curiosity.

I live in Colombia and I do not see, at least not for the redmi 2 prime which is the phone that I own, VoLTE difference. I can make my regular phone calls in whichever mode I am.

It is more of to know if in other countries is THAT important the voice over LTE support. My real question would be.. ¿Do you guys really need VoLTE to make your calls? How did you guys do when there was only 3G or even 2G? It is not like seen a HD TV or regular TV where you can actually tell the difference.

I guess I just get bothered by reading all over the forum, even though when a rom is ready for daily use, people asking the same question or annotation "it is just missing VoLTE"... like... come on...

I would really like to have some comments about the people that always ask for it.
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] preetnoobie:
Because of more Indian users(like me) lol we get free calls with volte enabled smartphones
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] LuanHalaiko:
VoLTE dosn't matter, I don't think that this thing could even be usefull
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] Jemec26:
Thanks for providing a reason.. Now I see what is the pushing about.. In that case you should be sticked to stock rom.. Developers have not forgotten about VoLTE but it is sth secondary.. In the guide forum there is one thread who enables it on every rom.. You guys should take a look to it
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] Nit.in:
Yes it is not much different from normal calls made on a good network. BUT , in India we have a new service provider who does not have any 2g or 3g spectrum but only 4g,so calls had to be made only with 4g bandwidth (i.e VoLTE) .

Now you can ask why don't we change to our old network ?

It's because this new provider (Reliance jio) is offering "free" cals,SMS, DATA(4gb/day yes 120gb a month for free). How can we not be tempted to use it????

P.s: Do google on "JIO"

#peace #free
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] saifuk:
where that american guy gone...u have people like ambani there who provide free unlimited call sms 4gb data per data video calling.. curious to know that..if u got this free service u guys had created yr own volte rom. i think u have got complete answer for your quarry
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] AKHILR4J:
you can understand it is useful for him/her when somebody ask for it...just coz you dont use an feature doesnt mean it is useless...most people ask for it...is there any problem with you volte enabled rom ? does it annoy you ? :confused: i see people being rude , sarcastic when we ask volte...most dev has developed enabled it roms without hesitation we are happy with that...then why do you guys interfere with it :crying:
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] preetnoobie:
True
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] LuanHalaiko:
By the simple fact that it makes the rom unstable, developers run in a lot of problems while adding VoLTE, and sometimes it dosn't work for some people, so they spam on the ROM threads : "VoLTE is not wokingg!!!" "Halp, I can't use VoLTE" , this sucks, so please, close this thread or more developers will get mad at you and others
[Xiaomi Redmi 2 Questions & Answers] AKHILR4J:
btw we didn't say anything bad or rude...:confused: i'll tell you reasons why i use volte custom rom.. as my device is 1gb version i cant use miui8prime rom on my device without lag...most of people from india use this feature...i've been using last 5-6 months i guess :laugh: :o xiaomi never gave us solution but in xda v got it :good:

RARE question from me but im lost lol!

Is this a version of the HTC comm manager???

If so where the hell do i get it !?!?

Ive tried several cabs and used the on/off button style tweak in advanced config but still no joy hehe!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Mark Crouch:
Think it's in all the Schaps 4.x ROM's - it's the CommManager from the Touch Duo - download link here.

You've probably still gotta **** around with the Advanced Config program, oh, and be careful if you try adding any more than the six buttons as it screws up royally :D

HTH,

Mark.

Cheers man,

I dunno what im doing wrong but i end up with the crappy blue WM6 comm manager......its not a big deal but im bored and wanna get the fancy on/off style buttons hehe.

Back to the 10 button kaiser 3g comm manager for now.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
search for the on/off comm manager. I fuddled around with it but didn't have all the files - at least for the cab to work on my device.

Might be a fun project to build a working cab...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
Here's one I put together from pieces of Juvs and Shamanix. Works fine on my device. Hope it was okay :)

Edit: And no advanced config required ;)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] parrot5:
If just change the layout in Advance Config 2.1's Comm Manager config, the Comm Manager appears broken (unless you just use the default layout). This is exactly what I'm looking for, and it is configurable in Advanced Config too. Thanks mattk_r

Neat, thanks.

It appears this is the BoostMobile User Guide, but I do not assume many things are different from the versions other than the middle section about pre-installed applications?

Not entirely sure when I will use it, but I learned it has the ability to "Reverse Charge", so basically use the phone as a portable battery for other things.

Samsung seemingly admits that face recognition is not secure, which is not a surprise more of just a confirmation it is purely for novelty usage.

You can pick up the manual specific to your phone and carrier by going to http://www.samsung.com/us/support/mobile/phones/galaxy-s. Scroll down and select your phone and carrier. The page looks like it's for all S-series phones.

[Samsung Gear S3] Zeal415:
So i have been scouring the forums looking for a solution to my current problem.

Currently, I can only access the galaxy store through the Samsung Gear app, I do not have a "Galaxy Apps" on my note 4 anymore (i believe i had it removed with a program).

I do not have a Samsung account registered with my Note 4, nor can I add 1, everytime I attempt to log in for Samsung pay, or Samsung +, or any sort of samsung app, it will just flash the screen and do nothing.

If I attempt to download and install the Galaxy Apps APK, I get a generic error stating install failed.

If I attempt to install apps from the Galaxy App store through the Samsung gear app link, the apps go into "loading" then stop and do nothing.

At this point I think I need to do a factory reset on my Note 4, but Im hoping to avoid this, anyone know of any fixes?

(btw i have a AT&T Note 4, that cannot be rooted at this point in time..)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
First unfortunately it's not just one version for all the carriers as some had suggested. The GSM providers phones do not support CDMA. The T-Mobile version is the only one with the new band 66 LTE. The AT&T version is the only one that supports band 30 (the fastest band in my area)

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] fevoldj2:
Band 12 includes band 17. If the phone truly doesn't support band 17, then I suspect that AT&T advertises the band as 12 and 17 to support it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] badrsj:
Guys check this eBay listing, there's something funny about it, 232298704354

Selling cheaper, one unit, faster than official shipping.

The seller feed back is off from picture to details of feedback and also the items sold are entirely different than phones.

Think it's a hacked account?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] Turb0wned:
So what it seems like to me (im not including sprint nor did I even pay attention to it) is that the Verizon model should work great with both AT&T and Tmobile if one wanted to switch. Looks like the verizon model would be the closes to the factory unlocked model, even more so if they really dont have any Verizon branding on them. But, what is 3G TD-SCDMA that is on the GSM models?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dustbuster:
It appears that Samsung's website is showing the same unlocked model for all carriers (G950U*), although I'm not sure why the LTE bands supported are listed (slightly) differently for each carrier. Confusingly, this is a different model than the phones being sold directly by each carrier (G950P for Sprint, G950A for AT&T, G950V for Verizon, G950T for T-Mobile). You can see that that LTE bands supported by those models are different that the G950U as well (the carrier-specific versions seem to have a subset of the LTE bands supported by the unlocked version). I was not able to locate a spec sheet for the G950P.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
What was wrong with the links to each carrier i provided plus the pictures i uploaded?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] dustbuster:
The links you provided are all to the Samsung website. The Samsung website does not have the same models that the carriers themselves are selling, as I tried to explain above.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
So you want me to believe the 4 carrier versions Samsungs selling are not the same phones that the 4 carriers themselves are selling?
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] 954wrecker:
The phones I ordered from samsung are not the same as I would have gotten from the carriers directly? I'm sorry but i think it's you that is confused.

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Guides, News, & Discussion] equake:
It's the same model phone but with different FW. It is possible that specific carrier models only support their own network bands thru FW. In the past, the Samsung would actually have different radio and antenna hardware in the phones.

Given the proper FW I believe the s8 series will function identically no matter which carrier model is used provided the SIM is unlocked.

My 2 cents
