[LG G6 Questions and Answers] BrileyG:
I have had the camera seem to turn on by itself a few times, but not to the extent that you are describing. My finger print scanner works fine in terms of recognizing my print and unlocking my phone. I have a completely different issue with my finger print scanner though. When I try to clean my fingerprint scanner with a cloth, it triggers the phone to dial 911! It has done it many times from my pocket too. When it did it in my pocket, I could not for the life of me figure out what was triggering the 911 calls. The first few times I didn't even know that it had dialed 911 until 911 dispatch called me back. I finally figured it out one day when I was purposely rubbing the fingerprint scanner with a cloth to clean it, and sure enough, it dialed 911. Sometimes if I just rub it with my bare finger it will dial 911. It's VERY annoying, for me and the 911 operators both I imagine!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wsty:
Hi, so I just installed Samsung Good Lock UI because it has the option to change your lockscreen wallpaper to be the same as your desktop wallpaper (I have a GIF wallpaper so I cannot set that to the Lockscreen without Good Lock) then I uninstalled the updates in settings (basically replaced System UI with the factory version) but I am not sure what I did wrong because now my Lockscreen, Status Bar, Notification Shade and Recents and whatever Good Lock replaces is gone! Normally when I installed or uninstalled Good Lock a popup will say The device will now restart. Then I installed Good Lock again, and literally when I booted up all I could see was my wallpaper. Nothing at all except for my wallpaper. I tried go into recents and notification shade but that also doesn't work, so I rebooted into TWRP and restored the backup I made earlier that day (it was Enigma V3 Rom) before flashing Enigma V4 and I could see apps and app drawer now, and wallpaper and I could open them fine, but still there was no lockscreen and and recents and notification shade and such, like the first problem I got before installing Good Lock again on Enigma V4. So now basically I can't really use my device, hopefully someone will have a fix for this. Thanks for your time. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Jucacarvalho1987:
Hey,

I've bought Samsung S8 in Germany, O2 network. I was looking forward for Samsung Pay , but when I enter in the Google store or even Samsung store it says my country don't support the app. I have friends using Samsung Pay in another cellphones... I've downloaded an apk and installed Samsung Pay and it says "can't read the sim" and then can't connect to server... Anyone knows how to use Samsung Pay bypassing all these problems?

Thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
In germany? If so then it's probably to a specific bank, not all banks/cards are supported.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Jucacarvalho1987:
My bank support it because I have an Irish bank. But the thing is that I can't even open Samsung Pay on the cellphone... That's the problem, it came without it and after downloading the apk it doesn't connect to the server... Same with android pay, I download android pay( the apk because I can't from the play store - doesn't even appear after searching for it) then every time I want to open it it just force closes... =(. I was using my S7 using Samsung and android pay. =(
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] peachpuff:
That's strange then, maybe Samsung disabled it on phones bought from o2 for some reason. Was your s7 also from o2 or was it unbranded? Samsung disables/enables features all the time based on what carrier the phone is on, in north America we sometimes loose the mobile data and hotspot toggles, the camera sound are disabled and even one carrier disables the device maintenance section in settings because they have their own preinstalled.

My s8 had Samsung pay preinstalled but I still can't update it from the play store or Samsung store because it's not showing up.

I'm running Android 7.12 baseband version angler 03.81

Version N2G47W

I've had HTC/XDA's for the past 7 years, starting with the basic XDA through to the XDA2, XDA2s, XDA Exec and currently the XDA Hermes...but they just ain't that cool anymore - I used to enjoy using them, they were original and the OS was swish but now they're slow, cumbersome and just not that funky nor impressive - its a rickety old OS with nothing to get excited about.

Until Microsoft do something interesting with PocketPC I don't think I'll returning for a while, however I'd just like some opinions on the phones to which I'm considering a move to...

My likes...

- Touchscreen ideally (Nokia loses here)

- Navigation capabilities (either built in or addon)

- Good quality camera, quick to fireup/use (unlike PocketPC!!)

- Proper Keyboard (nice but not necessary)

- Ability to use POP3 email practically without hard work

Based on the majority of the above, I am considering these phones...

- Samsung F700 (beautiful looking, nice interface)

- Apple IPhone

- Nokia N95 8Gb

Have I missed anything worth considering, if so what are you recommendations?

Currently with Vodafone and have been offered the F700/N95 for free, 500 minutes, Stop the Clock (free after 3 minutes for an hour), 250 txt's for £30 p/m.

I am put off PocketPC so with the greatest of respect, don't bother replying if its an anti-anything-else style response.

Appreciate your views/opinions, particularly from anyone actually using/with experience of any of the above phones.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] theformula:
I had my hands on the N95 and its awesome. The iPhone is the iPhone, awesome os and navigation, but ultimately i see a bunch of chicks with them so no. Samsung looks promising but will probably be way too expensive straight off unless carrier subsidised. N95 wins, it has GPS, a snappy os, great music player, and tons of software available. Good luck in your choice!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergeantash:
Thanks for your reply mate, the N95 does look appealing but what about the keyboard? Is it genuinely usable on a day-to-day basis? Heard comments that its too small?

Cheers, Ash
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] chipsxj:
I know the iPhone is the rage for alot of folks........but even so...Apple will try to make it grow and advance without end.

Example is the release of the developer package.........I think the iPhone, atleast with the coming introduction of then next version, would be my next choice...........for the resale if nothing else.

My little Hermes has held it's value pretty well too!

Good Luck and stay in touch.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergeantash:
Yeah, I agree with your sentiments, the IPhone 2 I believe it worth waiting for, I don't think I'd invest my pennies in the current release, its just not heavily featured enough, although the firmware upgrades are coming out thick and fast!! Its now got a GPS like technology!! Very impressive!

...but I'm not interested in making my Hermes act like something far superior, I'm just bored of its tired, slow and clunky interface - need something refreshing that allows me to enjoy using my phone, and enabling me to use it properly without having to wait for it to wakeup from standby, wait for the camera to get its act together etc!

Thanks for your comments. Anyone any experience with the Samsung? It looks smart! Has good spec too!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] vr24:
What do you consider a "GPS like technology" - the same thing GoogleMaps does?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Sirgatory:
to be honest,

You are looking for the

"Sony Ericsson p1i"

http://www.smarthome.com/96001.html

It meets all of your specifications, except it has a suretype keyboard. It has 2 letters to a key, instead of a normal keyboard, or a normal keypad with 3 letters to a key. It's actually the best keyboard to have once one gets used to it.

Key features:

Touch screen

WiFi

Smartphone capability

Not sure on GPS/location.

awesome 3.2 megapixel camera.

I think you'll like it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergeantash:
Well, similar in the sense that it doesn't use a traditional GPS utilising Satellites, instead it uses GSM triangulation, still its an impressive addon for a firmware update. Lets face it, when did the last Hermes firmware update (from an official provider, not cooked ROMs) enhance our functionality to that extent!!

Thanks for the pointer, does look nice but I'm a little put off Sony's after seeing/playing for a while with the P900 and P910 - very large, clunky and easily broken phones with a rather unimpressive slow interface - have things improved since then?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Rudegar:
not sure if that's the case any more but many sonyE owners complain about as poor charging connectors as htc had pre extMiniUsb

also suspct sonyE only support their own odd flashCard std.

hope the iphone2 got microSd
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergeantash:
Just watched a video showing the SonyE's interface, looks just like the old P900, slow and not very jumpy to respond.

Think I'll keep looking, what other nice phones are out there right now?

Cheers, Ash
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] frenchglen:
The only one out of your list I would consider is the iPhone.

Some people are sentimental about the devices they use, they deveop a love for it and whenever something clearly better comes out they make a whole lot of excuses defending their old device. While I've loved my Hermes very much, I'm not sentimental, I'm progressive. Within financial reason, I will go with whatever the current-day best device/platform is.

The iPhone has in no way been that, not so far. Unti l I can have EVERY little excellent WM app I use, or an equally good iealternative on the iPhone platform, the iPhone is a waste of money for me. Everything else of course is brilliant, but the No. 1 thing that turns me on phones is the abilty to have multilingual dictionaries on it, an audio recorder, an advanced metronome app (yes, musician here!), access to network mapped drives, a GOOD calendar app (iPhone's is not good enough for me, try Agenda One), ebooks and pocket bible, a scientific calendar (to some people that would be VERY useful), TCPMP (enough said), and ALL the tweaking to my heart's content.

The release of the SDK is what excites (and at the same time worries) me. I'm just wondering how Mr. "closed" and "controlling my devices" Steve Jobs is going to handle the freedom with iPhone that's about to be unleashed.

I'm also interested in what Microsoft is going to do for WM7 in reaction. Are they just going to bloat it up with vista-like "wow"-ness (thereby slowing it to a grinding halt) or are they going to actually make it a powerful platform and compete with the desktop-class iPhone platform. The browser situation STILL sucks after all these years.

And how about Google's android? Will there be a following for that, enough to bring out great apps? If so, AND if it can be employed on my Hermes, I'll stick it out to try that.

So what I love about WM6, is not actually the OS itself. I hate the OS. But all these wonderful developers have made my WM phone what it is, and outweighed its anoying slowness.

Also one single feature which would stop me from going to iPhone, is input. I LOVE TouchPal, try the free edition or professional trial, it's AMAZING. FAR superior to that horrible iPhone keyboard. And the great thing is, it's NOT complicated, only took me half-an-hour to learn. They've done some incredible innovation there. So, will Apple allow third-party developers to make their own keyboards for iPhone? +, will there be a way to sync to my outlook?

I'll wait and see...

Edit: oh yeah, there's also MicroSD. 12GB just got announced, and the SDHC spec can go up to 32GB. That's value being reinvested into my Hermes. There's all these little things that are BIG things in my daily phone experience, and they must all be ticked in the checklist before considering moving.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] b.mann:
I know what you mean about moving on. My Wizard is barely living (no SIM card most of the time, still an OK PDA), and I really miss using a touchscreen phone now. I would have bought a Kaiser, but after seeing all of the issues it has, no way. I think the iPhone still looks good, even though Jobs wants to lock everything down...but then again, that didn't stop me here, why would it stop me now? :D
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergeantash:
Very well put, I'm fully agreeing with you on that and I am pleased that the 'Anti-Anything-Other-Than-Hermes' police haven't yet bothered to respond.

The TouchPal system looks excellent but I simply can't imagine it running at the pace that it does via the video's I've watched on my own Hermes - The IPhone I'm tempted by but not until its next reincarnation, which judging by the speed at which Apple plough up new devices, I don't think I'll be waiting long.

Another phone I'm now considering is..

http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/...-crowd-preps-m4650-windows-mobile-touchphone/

...although at the moment I know very little about it.

I guess I'll keep looking!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] sergeantash:
Just to update you all - went into several stores to play with various new Mobile Phones, tried the Samsung F700 - VERY disappointed, tried the Nokia N95 - HORRIBLE piece of cheap tack. Finally, got informed of the new Vodafone 1615 (KAISER) - what a GREAT bit of kit, yes its another WM machine, the natural progression from the 1605 (Hermes) but its actually nice.

Doesn't seem any faster BUT it has lots more RAM, built in GPS (YAY no more Bluetooth GPS!) and a nice tilting screen!!

Got an amazing tariff agreed and expecting delivery of the new handset tomorrow!!!!

Will keep you updated on my progress with it!

Cheers, Ash
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] nahguam:
Just a quick comment on the N95, I've read (don't have a link to hand currently, sorry) that a lot of users are having problems with the onboard GPS. aparently the chip/antenna is situated on the back/bottom of the handset which, for obvious reasons, affects the ability to get a fix on your position...

I would really like to flash this to a completely TMobile version so I can get 4x4 MIMO & 256 QAM features but I am looking at http://updato.com and I see 2 different versions. SM-G950U & SM-G950U1. SM-950U USA TMB G950USQU1AQDE May 1st 2017 or SM-G950U1 USA TMB G950U1UEU1AQE3 June 12th 2017 . At this point I am confused on how I should proceed. If somebody could help me figure out how to proceed I would appreciate it. I have done a lot of flashing and unlocking bootloaders going back to my original Droid X but I really don't want to brick my $800.00 dollar phone right away.

Note: I have read [Snap.] Guide for Flashing Standard FW, Carrier Switching, and Flashing Unlocked FW and I am still a bit lost. Hope this is enough information for someone to send me in the right direction :P

[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MonsterAndroid:
Possibly a TMobile Tweak?

Might be a TMobile software tweak that enables the NFC icon to show up in the notifications. Might not be enabled in the Unlocked Versions.

BTW What Model # is your wifes phone ..... I can't figure out if I should flash the G950U or the G950U1 ...

Are you sure that US unlocked model on T-Mobile isn't getting "4x4 MIMO & 256 QAM"? In the specs on Samsung website it shows: VHT80 MU-MIMO,1024-QAM, don't know if it is any different.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
How to verify that SM-G950U1 do or does not support 4x4 MIMO & 256 QAM on T-Mobile? I might flash my unlocked unit to T-Mobile only if I know for sure that my device doesn't support it.
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] MonsterAndroid:
I'm not sure if it does yet but I would assume so since you are flashing the T-Mobile firmware .. I have tried many different methods of finding out if it does via the device but I think you need root. I tried multiple applications from the play store and used multiple phone codes to open every menu available. I got to the ServiceMode to change bands by using *#2263 / I got to ServiceMode with Debug that gives information about the current Band that you are on and how many MHZ you are running at. It also gives you some additional info: RSRP RSRQ SNR. Unless somebody else has a way to figure this out without root I'm not sure. Also Ill add a list of the current cities with 4x4 MIMO below. I did verify that all HD Voice, Wifi Calling, Video Calls, & Volte work .... Verified by downloading Shortcut Master Lite https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.vndnguyen.shortcutmaster.lite&hl=en ( Under App Explorer / System Apps / IME Settings / ImsSettingsLauncherActivity / Launch ). I am happy with the TMobile Version .. It has T-Mobile App installed and Lookout but there is ways to disable those and remove them without root. I haven't removed them but i read it is possible ... Doesn't use much RAM. If you need anything else let me know!

List of Cities with 4x4 MIMO T-Mobile USA https://newsroom.t-mobile.com/doc_download.cfm?doc_id=216 (PDF)
[Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers] Charkatak:
So from your 1st link, I do see that my city is there (WA), but second link, didn't have it.

I have done flashing via Odin many times on my previous Galaxy phones, so I feel comfortable, but I am kind of debating...if I really need to flash and if I will benefit from this.

I will ask you few questions and it may help me make a decision:

1) Have you measured download speed using Speed Test before flashing T-Mobile firmware? If yes, any difference?

2) I hear that my phone calls are clear and pretty positive that HD Voice is there, even though there is no icon.

3) VoLTE, Band 12 and WiFi Calling are supported and work well. Never had a reception issue or call drops, at least not yet.

4) As for RCS support, do you see it often when you text other users?

5) Video calling - your phone should have it, have you used it?

6) How is battery life compared to an unlocked software that you had before?

From the list above, I would flash to T-Mobile if: #1, 4 and 6 are working properly to make user experience better. I do know that RCS even on T-Mobile is limited to phones that support it, for example Glalaxy S6, 7 and 8 and possibly Note 5. Also some LG phones I believe had it as well.

In other words, what did you gain when you went for T-Mobile firmware?

Before I forget, you used Odin and added needed files such as BL, AP, CSC(you probably didn't you HOME file, just CSC) and also USERDATA TMB file - I am correct?
