Just got the Nougat OTA update from ATT on the S6 Active.

S6 Active AT&T How to Force Updates to Android 7 Nougat & Rooted ROM?

After seeing "No Update Current Version" while on a 2016 Security patch with corresponding Build # and 2016's Android v. 6.0.1, I found that by Turning On AT&T Mobile Network Data, and Turning Off Wifi, then Clearing the Google Framework App Data in Settings > Application Manager. Restart, Settings > About Device > Software Update > Check for Updates, I finally get "Software Update", and have repeated the process 4x in 4 days starting with a Security Patch of March 2016 and currently at January 2017. Apparently a 24-hour "Settle Time" period (literally 24-hours, it will show "No Update" at 23h 55m) between updates is incorporated into the process. I just did this with my son's S6 (Standard) and was able to update 5 consecutive Security Updates and then a 1.9GB Android Update followed which brought his S6 to a Security Patch of September 2017, and Android v. 7 Nougat. I am currently, after the 4 Security Patch Updates (over 4 days), at January 2017, and Android v. 6.0.1. I believe there are 2 more Security updates, then the very lengthy (1 hour) 1.9GB Nougat Update.

How can I Unlock this Bootloader?

How can I Root my S6 Active?

Is there a way to flash a pre-Rooted lean ROM (there are 270 Apps stock on this device. AT&T, Samsung, and Google seem to be having a Who can install more useless **** on a device war?) through ODIN, ADB Sideload, or Recovery Download for this specific device? All I find here at XDA are standard S6 catagories, No S6 Active image under "Choose Device", and a myriad "No Root Possible" in a S6 Active sub-catagories.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] dandrumheller:
Haven't been following closely on S6 active, but typically unlocking bootloader on ATT branded devices is not going to happen.

As far as the 24 hour delay between checking for updates, I believe you can manually set the date forward on the device to work around the delay.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6] RCALL:
S6 Active AT&T Nougat Android v.7

I ended up Live Chatting w/ a most excellent Samsung Customer Care Specialist, she accessed my AT&T account, then forwarded the OTA update to Android 7.0 Nougat directly to my S6 Active.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] DirtySant0:
Hello community

I dabbled a bit into the Samsung Galaxy s7 xda section and didnt see any development going on there so I came to this one. Is it safe to assume that any development or roms from this section will work with a Tmobile S7 (Non Edge) device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer] Araltd:
I have bad news for you. I make the same jump, from the note 4 to the S7E. The usa variants of the S7E all have locked bootloaders. So there is not root like the note 4 had. No twrp... The only root method is using a leaked engineer boot kernel. It's far from perfect, but it does give root access. Results vary GREATLY in the eng root camp. See my signature for the link.

To my knowledge there is only 1 rom, you flash with flash fire which is an app you flash on device.

The biggest upgrade from the note 4 is camera. The S7E camera is like magic compared to the note 4. Especially in low light conditions.

I hope that helps. The S7E is a nice phone, but root, like the note 4 (tmobile), simply does not exist.

Sent from my Rooted Galaxy S7 EDGE on Android 7.0 Nougat, here's the instructions how to do it!

Do you believe we will get graphics drivers in reasonable amount of time?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] xmoo:
YES,

and plz stop this bs, This is the 10000thread about we getting the drivers or not.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] schulzj:
What's reasonable?

A reasonable amount of time, IMO, is when I bought the device :( But I do agree with the fact that there are started to get way too many threads about this issue.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] sambartle:
Honestly I doubt we will ever get them officially..

and yeah.. when the device was shipped is a reasonable amount of time I have to agree.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdd1960:
OK< this is the issue I am having with the phone, which is a Galaxy Note 3 SM-N900P (Sprint). I originally rootted it about 2 and a hal years ago, and I THINK, not absolutely sure, but think I used KingoRoot when I did, only because no matter what I couldnt get it to root otherwise. I originally installed slimkat, then in January 2016 I installed Resurrection Remix 5.1 . The phone runs great, but the rub is, it wont let me install ANY other ROMs, olde or newer. Also, when I rooted it, I had to use Flashify to install the Recovery while I was still on the original Samsung ROM. That version is 3.0.2-0. All the other info I can think of that may help anyone who is willing to give me an idea is listed below.

I would REALLY like to try a NOTE 7 rom, seems they are really really good from what I have read, or at least RR 6.0

Build Number Resurrection Remix Lollipop 5.1.1-f26-LMY48Y

Sprint Note 3 (SM-N900P) Running Resurrection Remix LP v5.5.9, rooted,

Kernal version 3.4.0-g7db381d

jon@jon-VirtualBox #1

Baseband Version

N900pVPUEOK2

ANY help would be fantastically appreciated, have been a big fan of this site since WAY back (AT&T Pocket PC PHONE and Samsung BlackJack years.)

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
I would also ask in the SPRINT forum .
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdd1960:
Good idea, thanks.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaDisNX255:
I would risk it and factory wipe, install stock ROM and try to root using the newest methods available and proceed to flash a custom recovery (TWRP 2.8.7 recommended) since it appears to be the most compatible with the newer ROMs

Your choice though :)
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdd1960:
That was the best idea. I did a factory wipe, didnt install a stock rom, and as you suggested flashed TWRP 2.8.7, and now works just fine, hell it even fixed some other issues I had been having. Thanks, much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShaDisNX255:

[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lior84:
Hi,

My Nexus 6P is on android 6.0.1 and after reading all the problems with Nougat, I would better stay on marshmallow.

However, my security patch is from April 2016.

I am rooted with stock 6.0.1 MHC19Q.

Would like to know if I can update only the security update and if so, how to do this ?
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v12xke:
I respect your decision to stay with MM, but I think it is misguided. There are many improvements that come with installing N, including the security updates. Security updates are part of the OS update and are not available separately. If you want the benefits of the latest security updates, you have to install 7.1.2.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coremania:
Right now I'm on latest stock rooted with franco kernel and there are no issues. Except there's no xposed support.

But updating to nougat comes with no issues, so u should try, make a backup and flash.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lior84:
I'm afraid to update because of brick possibility. From what I read, many users that updated, had a brick.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coremania:
Nah, don't be afraid, I'm flashing everything with twrp, factory images too. No issues.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhs39:
If by brick issue you are talking about the boot loop of death that's a hardware issue and it happens while you are on Marshmallow, Nougat or a custom Rom. If you are talking about something else as long as your bootloader is unlocked and OEM Unlock is enabled in developer options you should be able to recover in the unlikely event of a flash going bad. Whether to flash or not is a tradeoff. You get the latest features and security updates on Nougat but you can't use Xposed (if that's actually important to you) and you will almost certainly get worse battery life on the latest versions of Nougat than you are getting on Marshmallow. Google has goosed the stock kernel settings lately resulting in worse battery life and the operating system and screen using more battery than previously. The only way to avoid that and stay up to date is to flash a custom kernel or flash a custom Rom.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lior84:
I have bootloader unlocked from the first day of the phone. I really like this model (except for the camera that responds slower than the nexus 5 one) and would like to use it at least one more year. Really worry about the hard brick and because of its, staying till now on stock 6.0.1.

With N5, I flashed many roms, but in this one, I stayed one year on a single rom that came on it.
[Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DEVILOPS 007:
The bootloop issue has nothing to do with the os update. It is because of dodgy hardware. It can happen from a damaged and degraded battery. Updating to nougat doesn't cause the issue.

[Lenovo A6000/Plus Questions & Answers] AsCi1:
My phone is a6000 plus variant and was running on CM 12.1 update 19 prior to getting bricked. I have flashed the same ROM before, however, this time I ended up flashing it twice-the second flash without clearing cache, data and the like and on top of the same ROM.

The problem is that the phone is not booting into recovery (just showing the lenovo logo).

It is however booting into fast boot mode. (Hold power key for reboot).

Now, I would just use adb to flash the phone but with cyanogenmod 12.1 with no update, the device is not showing in adb. (The USB worked fine before this, however I had USB connected during flashing and noticed that CM 12.1 with no update would not be detected on my PC.)

The phone is alive and well just not being detected in adb. Every time I connect the device to my PC via USB, the drivers install but fail.

I tried updating the drivers with device manager but error 10 is showing.

If I remove the battery the phone shuts down, until I power it up again, which results in the lenovo android logo on the screen.

What are my options in such a case?
[Lenovo A6000/Plus Questions & Answers] AsCi1:
Timeline of events:

I boot my phone into twrp with adb and flash CM 12.1 no update.

I see that the PC adb is not working and drivers fail to install.

I boot the phone into recovery using advanced recovery and notice that in twrp recovery the adb devices detect my phone.

I flash a queue of CM 12.1, update 20 and super user zip.

I recall that I had forgotten to clear data, cache and the like and end up dirty flashing.

I reboot the phone thinking it will fix it but the device just boots up the android and lenovo logo.

Furthermore, the device is not being detected in adb and drivers fail to install.
[Lenovo A6000/Plus Questions & Answers] ShakuniMama:
First of all remove your sd card and use a sd card reader or put it in another phone.

Then on the other phone/PC download a stock CM12 or 13 ROM and Gapps.

Save the ROM on the sd card.

Put the sd card on your phone and go to recovery

Wipe everything except SD CARD and then flast the ROM and GApps
[Google Pixel XL Accessories] JWadle:
Can anyone suggest a desktop charging stand for the Pixel XL that supports Pixel native rapid charging. Specifically, I am looking for a dock that has USB C input and output, and can be used with a Google OEM 18W charger/USB C cable. Most docks I have seen use a hard wired cable with USB A input.

Thanks for any help on this.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S8+ Themes, Apps, and Mods] AKW:
It only works temporarily for me. It worked great the first few hours I set it up, but after that it just stops working, and Bixby comes up as normal. I've tried disabling and re-enabling the service and clearing the cache, but nothing works short of a fresh re-install.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dja2k:
I have 4 chargers on hand listed below...

1. Original Samsung Adaptive USB Charger

2. Anker PowerCore+ 10050+ QC 2.0 Charger

3. Anker PowerCore 10000

4. Pleson Fast Wireless Charger

Now my question is why is my S8+ charging similarly with all these chargers? Example @ 30%.... The Adaptive charger says 1 hr 9 min (reads fast charge), the Anker 10050+ says 1 hr 25 min (doesn't read fast charge), The Anker PowerCore 10000 says 1 hr 25 min (Not a fast charger), and the Pleson Fast Wireless Charger says 1 hr 44 min. I am confused.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] FRoZeN ACiD:
yes you are.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] TML1504:
all values seem to be plausible! what bothers you?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] calinormy:
Because only 1st one is actually fast charging your phone.

You should try 2 and 4 with original cable. If you have qualcomm version of s8 shold work
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:
I'd echo the original cable and the wall plug that came with the device. Retry all 4 of these with the original cable and the wall plug.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dja2k:
Well I don't know if the Anker products are charging oddly because one is QC 2.0 and the other isn't, yet both have same 59 min charge time. So I question is the Samsung Adaptive charger is charging slow or fast? Here are some pics of the remaining charge with original black USB Cable.

Had similar problem. All my Anker QC2.0 doesn't fast charge my S8 while 3.0 does. got them both refunded while they are investigating.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ilordvader:

does that mean S8 has QC 3.0
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dja2k:
Yes I am in talks with Anker as well, seeing what they find out about my QC 2.0 Anker charger.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] darkangeldc5:
They sent me another QC 2.0 car charger, and it did not fast charge. I am going to try Berkin USB-PD car charger and see how it goes.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Tidbits:
Estimated time. Don't expect them to always show exactly the time.

I have QC 2.0 and 3.0 chargers and they all "fast charge" but I don't expect what the estimated time show to fully charge be accurate or else they wouldn't say estimate.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dottat:
Yes except bestbuy carries that with a dual Samsung fast charger for car and a nice wireless upright fast charger all in one box for about $99 on sale every other week. Way more consistent everywhere now.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] Wireratt:
Compared to my s7edge this s8+ charges a lot slower. The s7e would fast charge and wirelessly fast charge from any third party wireless pads/adapters.

The s8+ is finicky about what activates fast charge (especially wireless) and even while in fast charge it does not charge as fast as s7.

My guess is samsung slowed the charging down to help with battery degradation.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dja2k:
I found a weird thing last night when I set my phone to charge at 2 AM with about 7% battery just to wake up around 6 AM and it being at 86% charged. That was a long time, I don't know what's going on. Either the phone isn't quick wireless charging or the Pleson Fast Wireless pad I have sucks.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:
So, I've seen this behavior too. If you see the charge stuck, unplug the cable and plug it back in. I'm not sure why, but that fixes the issue immediately.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] hackdrag0n:
Are you guys charging in a warm room? S8 will stop charging if the battery exceeds a certain temperature. Samsung really went overboard with battery safety after the Note 7.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:
Nope, not at all. Just​sometimes I've seen that the device doesn't want to charge despite being plugged in. Unplugging/replugging the device fixes this. Just took me a few times to see this behavior to notice.

I'd plug in the device, walk away and it would be showing as charging but not having moves at all from when I plugged it in. I unplugged/replugged the device and it started charging normally again.

No idea. Works for me.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dja2k:
I am using a fast wireless charger not the cable connected directly to the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dja2k:
All I want is to buy a fast wireless charger that does charge fast and yes I am aware that it's not as fast as connecting the phone directly to the charger. My current Pleson fast wireless puck doesn't seem to do the job. I think I'm buying one of those dual coil charging stands but hesitant on which brand to buy.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:
My Samsung and my Choetech wireless charger have had this same issue. Taking the device off the charger and placing it back on seems to make the connection better. Also, I've noticed that cases play a very important role in the connection to wireless chargers. I had started a thread about which cases allow wireless fast charging, just didn't get a chance to keep updating it. I have tested about a dozen cases so far. For example, my mophie doesn't support fast wireless charging but does support fast cable charging. The thickness of the case I have found really affects the wireless charging and the materials used in the case to conduct the wireless charging.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dja2k:
Thanks I will keep testing and see what I find.

The good part is you do not need to carry a micro usb wire

it charges with Type C
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] sanjsrik:
1. You still have to carry a wire, it's type C

2. You could get a 10 pack of these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01C6XQWEQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and carry the microUSB cable if necessary. I took one of these and put them in each of my coats and bags in case I could find a microUSB cable which seem to be a lot more prevalent and use these in a pinch. They work great.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] dja2k:
Using a Choetech QC 3.0 wall charger with a Choetech Fast Wireless Stand I was able to charge my Galaxy S8+ from 0% to 100% in about 3 hr 10 min. Now I see that the Samsung adaptive fast charger doesn't do a good job with non-Samsung wireless chargers.
