[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apex88:
Hello,

I bought Galaxy S6 G920F 6 months ago, was using t mobile everything was working well.

Few months ago I noticed Im unable to receive/make phone calls. Went to T-mobile and apparently they upgraded their antennas and removed some of the bands they used to support.

The only way i can make calls is if i move to 2G, when im on 4G i cannot make/receive calls in some areas (like my neighborhood).

Did anyone else encounter it in NY and is there something I can do besides buying a new phone?

Thanks!

My bone stock note 5 randomly pooped the bed from normal use and is stuck in a boot loop. Hard reset via recovery doesn't work, it just immediately goes back into boot loop. I can get into download mode though.

I downloaded the stock firmware from the development area here. My phone connects fine to Odin and I can add the firmware I downloaded. When I press start, this is what I get.

My phone is in download mode and the error on my phone reads "SW REV. CHECK FAIL. DEVICE: 3 BINARY: 2"

Odin log reads " <OSM> Enter CS for MD5..

<OSM> Binary Check MD5.. Do not unplug the cable..

<OSM> Please wait..

What am I doing wrong? I have the samsung drivers.exe installed, phone appears to connect to Odin just fine, but I'm getting this error.

Also, if I try turning on usb debugging via the recovery menu (select #5 press home button) it just reboots the phone back into the bootloop, not sure if that has anything to do with it.

Need help fellas!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] thegipper:
I should add, I cannot get into recovery. When I hold the power, volume up and home bottom and release when the logo shows up, it only flashes the blue recovery screen for a second and then starts the boot loop.

I have no clue how this phone could have gotten so messed up, especially since I literally did nothing to it. No flashing, no root, no nothing. I was just using it and one day, this happened. So frustrating!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note5] thegipper:
Well, I figured out why Odin wasn't successful. I was trying to flash an older firmware version and through searching, figured out that you cant do that. Once it has a newer firmware on it, you can't flash an older firmware.

I was able to flash QA1 (newest firmware) successfully via Odin, and it passed. Once the phone went to reboot, it brought up the Samsung logo followed by the quick blue flash of the recovery screen only to reboot like it did before. Still stuck in a boot loop.

I cannot get into recovery. It's almost like the recovery "section" of the phone is totally corrupted and even flashing the stock firmware doesn't fix it.

Is there anything else I can do? Any help, tips or thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

my phone doesn't recognize the storage card anymore..can sum1 help me revive it?i even tried it on other card readers..but its like the storage card vanished!!!:mad: can any1 help me?or is it a hopeless case???:confused:
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Huckleberry88:
If even your cardreader does not recognize the card then maybe your card is corrupted? Did you try with another card in the phone to see whether the phone makes the trouble?

If your card is the problem you may try with some WinXP or Linux tools to recover it. You may google for them. (once I found a nice Windows-freeware to recover data from a crashed external HDD but don't have it on hand at the moment).

After that you may re-format the card and check for consistency.

I don't know what card you use - but if you use 4GB miniSD, you may noticed that in many cases they won't work stable for long time.

Good luck!

Okay here it goes, I held my phone while riding my motorcycle and suddenly it fell down. Back panel shattered but fortunately it's just minor damage on the screen.

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypoon:
Hi all, I'm stumped.

My phone won't stay on. Screen goes black after some time (seconds or minutes). It seems to last longer if I let it sit for a while before trying to turn it on. Same behavior in recovery mode. My cache is probably corrupted (see below), but I don't think that's contributing to the bigger problem. Help?

Full story: On Friday (August 25) I woke up to find my Nexus 5 powered off (while on charge). I couldn't get it to turn on, either. With many attempts, it occasionally starts to boot, but then the screen goes black before it finishes booting. I tried booting to recovery and clearing the cache partition, but the screen went black and I presumably now have a corrupted cache as well. My battery has been underperforming for a long time now, so I thought perhaps the battery is finally toast. I ordered a replacement battery (from Encompass), and swapped it out today (August 30). When I put it on charge, I saw the half-full battery indicator, which is the first time I've seen it since before it died on Friday. I left it on charge for about 3.5 hours. I then booted to recovery and attempted to format the cache partition again. I know it can take a long time, so I left it be, and after probably five or ten minutes, I noticed the screen was black again. Back to square one. Same behavior as before the battery swap. It might just be my imagination, but it seems like it stays powered on longer when I leave it off for a while. I'll take any help I can get.

Thanks all!

EDIT: I'll also mention that I'm in the DC area, if anyone wants to take a hands-on look, or if anyone can recommend a repair shop.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daedric:
Are you sure you're not suffering from a erratic/failing power button?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypoon:
No. I'm not sure.

The screen stayed on for several minutes while reformatting the cache, but the screen still eventually went black (without me touching anything). Could a potentially-faulty power button have engaged without me touching it? Sure, maybe, but I suspect the issue is something else.

Can you describe a procedure to test for a faulty power button?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypoon:
UPDATE: Just noticed that while in recovery mode, using the volume buttons to cycle through the options, the phone locks up and becomes unresponsive for a few seconds before the screen goes black.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypoon:
For any future readers who may be having similar problems: I took my phone to a repair shop where it was disassembled and thoroughly tested. There is an electrical fault in the mainboard, likely a short of some kind. The power button was not responsible. The battery was also not responsible.

I'm now looking for replacement devices to hold me over until Google's next Pixel releases. I may get another Nexus 5 with a shattered display and swap parts, I don't know yet.

Thanks!

[General Questions and Answers] SnowTigerTwila:
I'm very new to all this so koala bear with me.

What I think I understand is that, for android/APKs/google play is that each app has a folder containing it's files and source, and when an app is updated, all of it's files get replaced except for the "private app data". I don't know what private app data is but I'm guessing it's data that the app produces when ran rather than downloaded from google play, such as game saves, downloaded images, etc.

My main concern is that (in the far future) when I publish an update for my app, any gamesave files will be deleted. I'm a right about private app data or should save files be placed in a special folder or something?

Galaxy s6 keeps clicking back button by itself ): just clicks me out of anything
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] milkyway3:
First of all try to see any app you have downloaded which is suspicious because an unwanted app can trick with your device if downloaded from untrusted sources

If not then,try formatting the device once

If this also doesn't help then only look for flashing stock rom again

Hope this helps

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varg300:
My girlfried had the exact same issue with her S6, clicking the back button repeatedly by itself, sometimes several times a second.

Then it could work fine for anything from a few minutes to a day or two.

From what i was able to dig up at the time, it appears that there is a issue with the ribbon cable that connects the soft buttons (among other things shared through the same cable) to the motherboard, apperantly signal noise might be introduced which will make the phone think the button was pressed.

Since the phone was still under warranty we sent it back, and from what i could tell from the repair description after she got it back it appeared that they had replaced the circuitboard that holds the soft buttons and other stuff and its cable.

Her phone has worked fine for almost two years so far.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevelsd:
Reason - solution surrounding "Unfortunately, google " " has stopped working

Found the reason and the solution for Samsung GT-P5113

Reason: TWRP backup corrupts\removes\deletes the Google Play services and Google Play after the successful backup.

Solution: Don't use TWRP for backup at least not for this Samsung.

Backup was performed after a ROM flash and a GAPPS flash. Everything worked perfectly till I wanted to do a simple basic no frills backup using TWRP.

After reboot, as soon as I log in I start getting the "Unfortunately, ..." errors.

2 1/2 days of trying to get around this and no one on any site giving any solutions that worked for the last 3+ years. I noticed that a TWRP backup even before the GAPPS flash left me with a initial ROM flash that needed to go thru the setup all over again. That is when I started to look closer after TWRP backup and for those apps.

Both Google Play and Google Play services are no longer under APPS. They are now gone, at least for my tablet.

After seeing and associating this with TWRP backup, I purposely performed 3 clean flash\TWRP backups to test this theory. Sure enough. Every time after a TWRP back, reboot and login, the errors start coming and why..? Because the apps are no longer in APPs.

Yes I have the correct ROM (Beanstalk), GAPPS and TWRP! I also got this error with Marshmallow but will not go back and test. Spent way too much time on this. The chances are good this is the problem for that ROM and at least this tablet.

This custom ROM and TWRP has been out for how long and at least for this one tablet, not identified? :rolleyes:

Attention:

If you are getting these errors after a TWRP backup, go look to see if Google Play Services and Google Play are listed there under APPS after a shutdown\reboot.

I have a problem that is hardware related I think, but woull like to know if anybody knows a software work around.

I have orange spv m600, unlocked which is exhibiting rather straneg charging behaviour. The orange/amber comes on even though nothing is plugged in - and when you look at the battery momitor it is pulsing up and down as if the charger is plugged in! The problem began with the original Orange shpped ROm installed - I have since flashed 2 wm6 Roms & 1 WM6.1 but still the same problem.

I found something on the Wizard forum suggesting a registry key change (usb driver related) but this has not solved the problem either.

Can anybody point me in the direction of a workaround? Or is it possible to fix this through a hardware mod (voltage regulator chip?). If so, where would I source part(s) or has anybody got a bricked prophet they could canabalise for me...?

Suggestions most welcome.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] 999masks:
hi all,

I want to purchase Note 8, but it seems to much expensive for my budget. Even though with free gifts (which you can resell) if you add up taxes, it will come up the same.

What you guy think, lets say if i wait 2-3 months the price will really drop ( I am wiling to wait until the end of year :) if it make sense )?

One possible scenario is they may drop the price a little bit, but also discontinue gift option, which no make sense for me.

Does anyone aware of recent dynamics, based on previous Galaxy models, lets say S8 or so?

Or , does price really drops on Black friday?

Thanks in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers] Ryland Johnson:
I suggest this will depend on where you live and how you make your purchase and what you are prepared to gamble.

In my country there are zero 'contract' sales. we all have to buy our mobiles at top price. There is also a sales price that all outlets maintain meaning regardless where one buys, it will be the same price, don't ask it makes zero business sense to me either. Having said that the law, in theory, protects consumers. If we don't like the purchase we have 20 days to return for a full refund. Warranty problems are generally taken care off. In other words its a relatively 'safe' place to buy a mobile.

I am paying 1,020.00€ for the Note 8. My SGS8+ cost 920.00€ , 100.00€ difference but if I take into account the free DEX offer, worth 150.00€ here, my Note 8 is cheaper than the S8+!

Now we go to the 'open market'. This can be a gamble and a nightmare. Sure you may get what you consider a bargain as many did with their Note 7 purchase from Dubai BUT when the woopsie hit the fan while I got a full refund on the spot TWICE for both iterations, those who bought from some other countries got stuffed. Not all but too many for comfort.

My point is you will get what you pay for. With an expensive purchase like this I use a reputable international outlet, FNAC, and am relatively well looked after. If I choose to do so I could also buy from, say Dubai and save tax etc but....

Amazon CAN BE a good purchase outlet BUT Amazon are using more and more third party sellers and many of those are not based in Europe meaning they are sent from China or where ever and that causes massive import problems here. IF one can purchase an Amazon sourced product that is sold by a vendor within Europe one can, after a small time frame, find the price of such items reduced. Again such reductions can mean grey imports etc. Check the sellers Amazon profile.

For me I pay top price in this country in the city I live near from a reputable outlet and sleep well at night. Not everyone is the same though, thank heavens.

Take care with such purchases its not the initial purchase than can be the problem, the problem is IF the mobile is a brick are you safe in getting a replacement under warranty etc blah blah. You pay your money you accept your choice.

Last point being how long are you willing to wait? Most of us here are techno nuts who want this device yesterday! No way would the majority of my peers here be willing to wait even an extra day to save a euro!

hi Ryland,

thanks for taking your time and replying me back.

The main point of this question is, if I wait 3-4 months will price drop ? I know it is hard to tell, but based on other models dynamics what you think?
