[G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steadfasterX:
No. Your warranty will not extend to "forever" (if we assume you have a repair once a year.. ) or being reset just because something get replaced. I can speak for Europe only but I don't believe that any other country will do it different. Normally all vendors record the device warranty globally because if not they would loose many money. I say I don't believe but only LG knows for sure.

The bootloop issue is another story. This gets even repaired when outside of warranty e.g. in the USA due to the signed law suit. That's why this is not an issue for the most people.

[Xperia Z5 General] sirdoha:
I haven't updated the thread for a while. In the meantime, Lineage OS from [MENTION=3816568]Myself5[/MENTION] has fixed the camera bug. I'm not sure about AOKP.
[Xperia Z5 General] ibuza:
Here some updates about issues (all tested on E6683 Dual SIM):

1.) [FIXED] With recent builds I am able to record more than 28 seconds (in 4k)

2.) 4k Video Recording and 23MP photos are only possible with the stock camera. (According to Myself5 this is a Sony issue)

2.) All videos are recorded without sound. This is the same for all video recording also in snapchat and whatsapp.

3.) When you are in call the volume can not be changed. You see the volume slider go up and down, but the volume does not change.

4.) FM-Radio does not work. No sound and no autotune.

1.) 4k Video Recording and 23MP photos are only possible with the stock camera. (According to Myself5 this is a Sony issue)

2.) Music Streaming to car-stereo (bluetooth handsfree) is buggy. Audio output often stops. (Music streaming to Bluetooth speaker is okay)

3.) Autotune in FM-Radio does not work. Manual searching for stations works but is a pain...

Great Great idea to make that kind of topic !

I just "updated" mine from stock rooted Marshmallow to the stock based Rom eXistenZ. I'm really satisfied until now, but if i could find a Rom under Nougat which is at least, as much efficient and improved as this one, i'd pretty love to update to 7.0/7.1 =)

Looking forward for news here !!

Hello

Whenever I try to watch a live videos it doesn't work and the video becomes like this in the picture, and it happens in some online videos, but the all the live videos doesn't work, I'm tired of this I really need help...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
You provide absolutely no details here so it's impossible to help you. Model number of your device, android version, what custom ROM (if any) you're using, whether you're rooted or not, and steps you've taken to try to resolve the issue will do for a start.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdu shraidi:
i tried Clear data and clear cache for the apps and it doesn't work, restarting phone and removing battery also doesn't work

and here some info you might need, and it's not rooted now, tell me if you need any more
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Looks like you never upgraded the thing. First thing to do is to download an Android 5.0.1 version of the stock firmware from sammobile or samsung updates. After flashing it using Odin see if that resolves your issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Why not simply do a OTA update?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Based upon my experience with OTAs, he wouldn't be offered an OTA to Android 5.0.1 since he's still on Android 4.4.2. Worse, since OTAs are not full system images he would have to take multiple OTAs since Samsung released monthly updates until 2016. Flashing a full ROM package through Odin is faster, and ensures all parts of the ROM match..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdu shraidi:
5.0.1 makes my S4 slow, i was at 5.0.1 downloaded it from sammobile or samsung i don't remember and then downgraded it to 4.4.2 because most of apps requires 4.4 ad above, the original one was 4.3 and i didn't get any more updates, but the videos was working fine on 4.3 and 5.0.1, but the problem is 4.3 is too old and most of apps doesn't support it, and 5.0.1 makes my phone slow, so is there any other fix?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
The phone runs slow because of Touchwiz, so a custom ROM that doesn't include Touchwiz is what you should be using. The Google Play Edition ROM is no longer updated, but it is Android 5.1 without Touchwiz. There are also Android 7.x custom ROMs available not using Touchwiz.

There is a speed penalty you pay for Touchwiz, which is why you don't use it if you can help it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdu shraidi:
can you please help me and give me the perfect Rom? i'm kinda noob but i know how to flash etc, but i don't know what's the best Rom for my S4 and how to know if there's a Touchwiz or not and these stuff, i have downloaded some Roms before from here but there was some problem like phone runs slow and i can't get the notifications for the App, so that's why i need you help, i need one without problems, works fine, runs fast and gets the notifications for apps.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you want a ROM that "just works", get the aforementioned Google Play Edition ROM. It has the advantage of having Samsung-released binaries, which minimizes issues that may be present in other ROMs.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdu shraidi:
sorry for taking your time, but is this one what you were talking about?

[ROM]【5.1】【JFLTE-GPE】 - 10-21 -2015
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Yes it is. When I was using my S4 as a daily driver, this was my go-to ROM, and I didn't have issues with it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdu shraidi:
ok. i'll download it and let you know :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdu shraidi:
i have flashed the Rom and it looks nice, but it missing so many things, i'll download all the missing apps, thank you for the help, i'll let you know if i need any help
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
My Files: Download and install a file manager. That will however require getting the Play Store working.

Play Store: What is the exact error you're getting?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdu shraidi:
i solved this problem, but as i told you before, no Notifications from the app where it should be a little Red circle on the apps with the number of how many Notifications :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdu shraidi:
also, am i missing something? there's no an app for the camera or the videos or the sms message, and so many other apps...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Notification Counts on Icons: Touchwiz feature. The GPE ROM is stock Android, and stock Android doesn't have notification counts that display on apps.

Missing Apps: Apps you're used to seeing in Touchwiz will not be found in stock Android, though I am a bit surprised no camera app is present. Any app missing has a replacement available through the Play Store. For example, install VLC from the Play Store to get a video player. Install Google Camera, Snap Camera, Camera MX or any of the various camera apps to get a working camera. Install Google Messages to have a SMS app. Hangouts used to be the SMS replacement on the GPE ROM but that feature was removed in current builds of Hangouts.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abdu shraidi:
OK, so that's mean this ROM not including GAPPS? and if so then what's the Right GAPPS should I download?

Sorry for so many questions I'm a noob trying to understand and fix my phone...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
If you have the Play Store, you don't need a Google Apps package. If I recall correctly, the lack of Google apps is a design choice by the developer: since the Google apps are going to be updated through the Play Store anyway, it's pretty much pointless to have them in /system. What you as the user do is find the Google apps you want on the Play Store and install them.

For example, when I was using the S4 as my daily driver, I would download Gmail, Maps, Messaging, Play Music, and YouTube, as neither the Dialer nor Contacts apps were made available separately until after this ROM was discontinued. The alternative is a stock GApps package of over 700MB. Now while I happen to live in the US and can download 700MB packages every day if I wanted, many people out there in the world have metered connections and limited amounts of data. In those circumstances, downloading only the apps you actually use is a sound move.

TL;DR: The ROM doesn't require a GApps package. Download only the apps you need from the Play Store.

EDIT: One last thing. The changelog for the ROM is specific on the apps issue.

After updating to nougat on bln-l22 volte calling on jio sim is not connecting no calls could be made wheras am able to use internet without any issue any folks out there facing same kindly help me out
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Check with jio if nougat update is volte enabled from their side
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Try a factory reset.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:
try by installing jio 4G voice app
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] honor6xak:
Ya it helped but another issue is app its always asking me to. Connected on 4g to place call or recieve call that's like when I connect the WiFi and tried to call its not getting through
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:
while using jio app you should always enable mobile data inorder to receive and make calls.

this is because currently your device has only LTE/4G support as per app detection but not Volte support.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] honor6xak:
I phone 6 works only with lte without app for 4g am using it technically band width are same so its not logical to conclude volte needed to function for the device

If lte is sufficient then it should work so did it functioned well when it was on emui 4
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:
even you consider technically the functioning of IOS and Android are way different while handling applications.And both has different hardware.

In EMUI you might have Volte support but after update it might have locked Indian LTE band frequencies or app has compatability issues or try to reset apn settings and assign them manually.

By the way are you able to make calls after enabling mobile data?

did you install other region ROM?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] PalakMi:
Probably the emui 5 isn't volte compatible yet with volte :)
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Wrong. EMUI 5 is VoLTE capable and compatible.

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] honor6xak:

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] adriansticoid:
Sorry that question was for [MENTION=8245928]flairfiroz[/MENTION].
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:
what is the build number do you have?

I doubt you installed different region ROM which dont have volte support.
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] honor6xak:
Just now. Checked it sAys nrd 90test keys build number not visible :eek:
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] miststudent2011:

you need to solve that issue first.

[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] honor6xak:
After factory reset no I didn't !!! Root checker also sAys root is not made yet
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] suhel28:
Hmmm.. but Magisk detects root that means there are still some traces of SuperSU.

I forgot why were we installing Magisk?
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] honor6xak:
To install Viper4android
[Honor 6X Questions & Answers] suhel28:
Basically to remove all traces of SuperSU you need to flash stock boot.img. I'd done it once but it made my phone very unstable so I fresh flashed the whole OS again. It's a drag. :eek:

[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] eneka:
If you've got wells fargo, their CC offers mobile phone insurance when you pay your bill with it.

https://www.wellsfargo.com/credit-cards/features/cell-phone-protection/

Never had to make a claim yet, but I guess it gives me a peace of mind.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] psawjack:
That's funny, I've been contemplating creating this very post. Unfortunately gone are the UH-OH days and what sucks even more is that you can't even spend money on purchasing one like Moto extended protection plan.

I purchased the U11 through the US HTC.com (which offers NO protection). I could return phone and purchase new phone from US Amazon as well as add on the Square Trade extended accident protection. This costs money up front as well as a fee when you make a claim and in all totals ~$150 US but at least it's protected. My carrier won't help out and sends me letters that state I'm using a non-T-Mobile phone that's not covered.

Bottom line is that I REALLY don't like not having an accidental plan on my devices and am looking for a solution.
[HTC U11  Questions & Answers] ckupsco:
You can add squaretrade to an HTC purchased phone. I did it earlier today so I could use the phone20 code to save $20

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions & Answers] thanirs:
Hi all,

A newbie question to the Android experts. I have read in many forums that a rooted device is needed in order to change and/or customize status bar icons. However, Samsung Good Lock app was able to do this on an un-rooted device. Good Lock app provided AOSP status bar icons and I loved it. The stock Samsung network and WiFI icons are super hard to see and quite frankly ugly. The wifi icon is half the size because of the ridiculous up/down arrows underneath the icon.

I have been looking for a replacement app like Good Lock but no luck. I tried Status and Material Status apps but they are buggy and don't work all the time. More over, they render another status bar on top of an existing one.

How was Good Lock app able to do this on a non-rooted device? I presume it was able to replace the SystemUI?What does it take to build an app like Good Lock? Anyone knows how it was accomplished or if it's possible?

Thanks for your time.
