[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macmalon:
Hi,

I live in France and just bought a Galaxy S6 from a guy who sells a lot of phone for a decent price.

Some things are a bit weird though.

- First when I go to the about phone page to check for updates (the phone is still on android 6.0.1) nothing happens when I press the "software update" button.

- Second, in the about phone page it says on the 7th line "United Arab Emirates" TRA ID 0016333/08 TA: 0000000/00. As I live in France, is it a problem?

- Third thing: when I plug it to my computer with Smart Switch the model name reads SM-G920A with software QB1 (XSG). But when I go to download mode it reads SM-G920T (which seem to be American?) on top of the screen.

I'd like to update it to the latest version of Android, but I am really lost as I don't know which rom will fit. I also don't know if I can flash a XEF version onto it?

Anyone can help?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy S6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darkhandsome18:
Always follow what it says in download mode as they cannot be faked (to my knowledge anyways). Therefore I would say your phone is a grey market g920t so look for g920t stock roms and flash through odin.

But take note, there is a major possibility, in fact I'm almost certain the phone will go back to being locked once you do that. The galaxy s6 is fairly easy to unlock, just search the forums and be aware of what to do before you do anything. And please backup, backup, backup!!! Not just backing up on the phone, copy everything off the phone to your pc as it would most likely get wiped.

Lastly, the latest Samsung firmwares have begun featuring a nasty bootloader lock when it likely detects abnormalities as those in grey market phones (e.g a U.S. phone with a SIM from a different region). There are ways around it, make sure you search the forums before you begin updating. Search for Rmm lock Samsung.

Good luck

Wondering if anyone has this case. They say it works with wireless charging which is a must, but does it work with Samsung Pay as well? Both are a must. I want to keep 1 emergency card and my license inside.

On the note 8 version there's conflicting reports on wireless charging as well as Samsung Pay. Normally I'd order something through Amazon, and if I don't like it, just send it back. The case isn't currently on Amazon. Not even as back ordered, the product page is completely gone.

I recently changed ISP's and now my Fire TV boxes won't stay connected to wifi. Switched to Spectrum (Askey 802.11ac wave 2 router). The boxes connect to wifi for about 10 seconds, disconnects, then reconnects again after another 10 seconds, then disconnects ... on, and on, and on .... Not sure what wifi setting can be changed for it to stay connected. Can anybody help me out? I've tried several "fixes" that I found through searching, but none seem to work.

So i was in school and i was caught texting due to the tilt being so damn big. I was in the cafeteria and a teacher came up behind me and snatched my phone. Good thing this is my first time getting caught because its 1 day without my phone and a parent has to come and pick it up. Second offense is 3 weeks and a parent comes and gets it and the third offense is they keep the phone until the end of the year. This sucks. I feel so lost without it. :mad:

The suckage...

My school sucks just as much if not more. They see a phone out, its instant detention, 3 demerits, and its taken away for 2 weeks! Oh and 18 demerits is an expulsion. Oh and for some reason, havin a PDA in class constitutes cheating becasue of what it can do!? and thats 6 extra demerits and 2 detentions! Yeah America needs to wake up and stop stereotyping people who actually care about not having a $1 piece of crap as their phone!!!

I think that there should be a crossroads

I also attend a High School with such rules, i just dont understand why they get so damn anal about it.

In Orange County Pubilc Schools the stupid rule is as follows:

-If I See It, Or Hear It, (Even if it attached to your belt) I Take It.

Why cant they get that most high school students, and now middle schoolers have phones. One thing is to be texting in the middle of Algebra Class, but why cant i check my messages at lunch or passing time. Why cant i make that quick call between classes or at lunch. But yet, here is the irony, ADMINS AND TEACHERS USE THEM IN FRONT OF US ALL THE TIME!!!!!!, but yet if i carry my tilt in my belt pouch, and if they see the pouch, they get all stupid about it. They want us to hide it, (as if it was illegal to carry one??).

[Off-topic] fone_fanatic:
When i was in highschool they tried to implement a rule like that, where if you were caught with your phone they'd take it away and a parent had to come pick it up. BUT a group of kids and parents got together and went against it. The school ended up not enforcing the rule because of all the highschool shootings most of the 911 calls came from students with cell phones in the school. The students were also able to call 911 before the school did in several cases.

So they just implented a rule that you cant talk/text during class. if you were texting in the hallway or cafeteria a teacher would just tell you to put it away.

One dickhead teacher use to attempt to confiscate them... then his tires got slashed... he wasn't that much of a dickhead after that ;)

Also speaking of cheating.. When the nokie 3650 first came out (one of the first camera BT phones) a couple of friends and I had them and one person would sit in the hallway next to the class i was in and during an exam i'd covertly snap a pic of the test page and bluetooth the pic to my "corespondent" then he'd look up the answers and text them back :D... or i'd take pics of the text book and zoom and pan through the pic for answers

that sucks, at my school of corse your not supposed to use your phone in class, but thats it. during passing period, lunch, before or after class, you can use it.

however one time my teacher saw my phone when i had the camera app up, she asked "is that a cell phone or camera?" i knew she wouldnt have cared if i said it was a phone, shed just tell me to put it away, but i said it was a camera and showed her. she thought it was, lol.

well im in southern cali as well and i have never had anything like that happen to me. i would give them the shaking im gonna kill you and everyone you know look and would get off with a warning. i just dont let people take things from me, be it a pda or pen or anything. however if you are as violent and selfish as me you should try and follow the rules if you know you will have this reaction. just my .02 cents.

oh and the guy crackin on americans, kinda rude bro, theres no need for that here. but then again this post should prob be moved but whatever. sorry to hear bout your tilt, just be sneaky next time or face the same result.

I can see high school hasn't changed a bit since I've been there. They teach you all about freedom yet it's more of a police state than North Korea. The only loophole was the TI graphing calculators. They were not necessary for our studies but they were the one device that could play games that wasn't banned. They tried to incorporate them into math class but the teachers could't use them.

HAHA yeah In my Jr. year of high school. We had a sub for my psychology class. I had my nintendo ds out and she made me put it away. So I did. Later 10 min b4 the bell when we were not doing anything I placed it ontop of my desk with all of my books and sat there. The teacher came over and placed her hand on my ds. I imedantly grabbed her hand and threw it off of my ds. I then threw my books and told her to fu** off.

LoL that was just for my ds.....

[Off-topic] masterdude656:
LoL, I just graduated from High School in a OCPS school, last year, they tried to pull the same thing my senior year because they saw my phone on my belt clip, and attempted to take it away, the loop hole in this one is they CANNOT take items over $150 in pricing because, its consider a liability if they loose it while its in their hands, but since they never inform students on that, and only inform students WHAT THEY CANT DO, and not the rights they have while attending school, its easy for them to get away with alot of it, just like (for OCPS schools anyway) a administrator cannot search your personal belongings, only your locker, only a administrator that is accompanied by law enforment. There is a website on the OCPS website somewhere that shows state statues for students rights, just sad a student has to find them to use them, but I guess its a fight to not get pushed around by school administrators that like to abuse their power more then others. So bottom line, if your in a OCPS school, you can fight it, you need to provide some proof though of the phone cost, and deny there attempt to take the phone, they will make you leave for the day for insubordination, but I think its better that then to leave a expensive phone in the hand of idiots as it is. :cool:

Friends,

Couldn't pass this up and not posting on this thread.

There are pro's and con's to using technology at all levels school, business, and socializing. The problem here is that the school's objective is to teach w/o interuptions of cell phones ringing, someone sending pictures of test questions (interesting though) and reducing theft issue's. Many students who break these

rules

ruin it for everyone else because of how it can help students that do have respect.

This also applies in the business world as well - If your in a meeting with the ceo, co-workers you want to be respectifull and not break the concentration of the meeting. Same with companies that are specific to what phones can be used and at what time. Most government companies will not allow pda's - camera's, voice recorders etc. Same principle - school/business.

Rule is a rule which has to be abided by. If abused then the school has the right to enforce their policy. We all have to live by rules and regulations.

The technology is cool and can be used to help students, but when the rules are not followed by everyone - this is the cause in effect.

I do think that having the phone in your locker, backpack - sound turned off is legitimate. During recess, lunch cool to use the phone.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wowsers32:
Friends, do you think it's possible to create a custom ROM of Android TV that bleeps out bad language from videos in apps like Netflix, Amazon Video, and Plex?

Idea:

1) A user creates a custom list of words they don't want to hear, e.g. "f*ck".

2) The custom Android TV ROM compares the user's list to the subtitles (timed text) in the video that's playing right now.

3) If there is a match between the word list and the subtitles, temporarily mute the audio.

Is this possible? Thanks.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Timmmmaaahh!:
Having young children, I actually quite like that idea but I'm afraid it's impossible to achieve this as a standalone project. These video/subtitle streams move from a server to a device via an encrypted connection. Encryption that is handled by the applications of their respective companies. Even if you'd manage to create an end-user client that intercepts these streams unencoded, you'd have to setup another (local) streaming server that processes the subtitles and audio, then puts it back together with the video on the fly. Not even to mention the minefield of legal violations you'd be entering...

As a fellow parent I would rather suggest to watch content with your child(dren) and make use of the currently existing systems already in place to protect them (eg. the 'Kids' profile on Netflix).
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anonx1337:
Does it matter what version the rom is when flashing as long as it matches my model number? I read online sometimes if you downgrade the stock firmware you can risk bricking. My phone is a Samsung J3 Emerge (Sprint - SM-J327P). The reason I want a custom rom is to find one with an updated kernel. Apparently magisk needs a kernel version of 3.8+ for some features to work properly which is more than likely why my safetynet fails . Also trying to select something in magisk hide deselects itself when going back.

Flashing a modified boot.img with magisk to my phone trips the knox counter and says I'm running a custom binary. Would this be the reason safetynet breaks? Because as soon as I restore images in magisk and reboot, safety passes with flying colors. Is it possible to have a custom rom with magisk that passes safetynet? :confused:

I'm new to the forums and have never really asked for help as I was able to find pretty much everything from Google searching. Main reason I'm doing this is because I'd like my device rooted while passing safetynet.

Use the 2nd. You will need PC, USB cable turn on developer options and USB debugging

Have to download a .tot file and LG flash software

On windows 10 I had to run in compatability mode, worked on previous versions of windows, pick windows 7

You have to use adb commands in thread.

Anyways after you get back to stock. Upgrade using ota all the way to zvb. Then you can use the adb commands to root. Then download twrp official app from okay store and use that with root access to install twrp.
