[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] papamalo:
Hello all.

I recently received a used at&t Galaxy S7 (variant SM-G935A) that hadn't been used in over a year, and was looking forward to using it, when I encountered this message:

"This device was reset, To continue, sign in with a google account that was previously synced on this device"

I tried numerous sign in's all to no avail, and the previous owner doesn't even remember the password, (Probably why I was given this phone) so now I am stuck with a beautiful looking brick. They said that had done a "factory reset" So I assumed it would be blank and that I could sign in with my google account, but that is not working.

It dawned on me that this may be a case of going back to the trenches and using ODIN panel, but I haven't done that in years.

Does anyone know how to overcome this problem? Can I flash the firmware with ODIN?

thanks!

If you still know the person, they don't have to remember the password at the time, they just have to be able to log into the account. Do they still use the same google account?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answers] thebighunt:
Hi, yes there is a way.

You need three things:

1 - a Combination firmware for your S7 (basically, a kind of dev firmware)

2 - Odin

3 - The original Firmware

You can find several tutos on Youtube for it.

Second option, i've recovered mine using a procedure with a simcard with a pin code. It worked and i didnt have to flash any firmware.

Could just buy it from Gearbest, for a small premium. They have the version C (best for US networks).
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Pickx:
Even the few places that are selling it, don't have the Silver version, which I'm waiting for. Nobody on YouTube seems to have it either.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] TheCookieButter:
When I tried to preorder it said it'd ship 'The week of July 9th' on the UK store.

EDIT: It says July 9th 2018 which is just a placeholder date. Support said to check back at the end of today (24th May)
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] EZJohnson:
Link? I only see the global version at Gearbest.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] mudnightoil:
It was previously listed as VC. Now says global and doesn't specify what that is. But I highly doubt it's VA (what's in Europe), since Gearbest stuff all comes from the Far East.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] EVOLVIST:
Why buy an EU or UK phone when it can't be that far off from getting a US release? Patience (says the person with very little of it). :)

Pre-order starts today.

[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] jeremyet:
Just chatted to Asus customer support. Date of 9 july isn't right - they will know today when stock is arriving and will be updating shipping date at some point today, with preorders also updating and going out as soon as stock arrives. Ordered mine yesterday and very much hope (and expect) it will be in my hands before July.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] SantinoInc:
I'm going to check in the US site has a pre-order option too
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] TheCookieButter:
I asked too and imagine I got the same response (below for those interested).

"Thank you for your message. We can confirm this was just released for the UK marketplace for pre-orders on the 17th May 2019 (just very recently). As such, the stock is secured to the UK, however, it is limited. The ETA for delivery will be announced soon and as such, we can only advise to check back on the selling page of the phone sometime by the end of this week (later today).

As soon as we have confirmation on the stock expectancy with us from Asus, we will have that updated on the page"

I'm having a hard time knowing if this phone will work on US GSM networks? Does anyone know?

I noticed that the phone won't ship until late June. USA customers may as well wait till around that time to see if ASUS will be selling it themselves

Yup the 6/64 and 6/128 are the only ones available

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 PM ----------

I read it somewhere but I can't remember, US will eventually get the 6/64 and the 8/256 variants in July
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] resident0915:
It'll work but you'll be missing bands 12 and 17 if those are important to you.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] wreq5:
I checked on kimovil.com and compared (variant B and C of the Asus phone) with my current OG Pixel and they both share many of the bands that work great on TMobile in my area. I've had great signal in rural areas with my current phone and from the comparison I expect the Asus ZF6 to work just as well if not better! I'm definitely going to buybit once it releases in US.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] googyz:
I would like to know, if I buy the Zenfone 6 online and make sure that it's the (ZS630KL) international? , will I be able to use it in Canada?

I saw a store that sold the phone with a US charger? I don't want to wait till July... I read somewhere this is when it will be released in North America.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] wreq5:
While perusing places to buy this phone I noticed BHPhoto post this and it got my excitement piqued! They have also posted a carrier compatibility chart which should help those in North America make their decision along with claiming that its the North America variant (assuming this is the C variant of the phone).
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] ishaqtkr:
Custom ROM development won't be much still i think, even Zenfone 5z doesn't have much. Redmi K20 Pro maybe?
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] troy5890:
Looking at the 5Z forum, this is another factor I'm really worried about. Makes me want to hold on to my axon 7 more.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] ishaqtkr:
Same here, This phone's battery is tempting and it's the only think i care about and not camera. But i also care about rooting and stuff, I am 100% sure the K20s will have more developers than this one, i think it's because of early release in countries like India where most of developers are.
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] troy5890:
I agree, the battery is quite tempting(it got a great endurance rating on Gsmarena at 112 hours). The camera seems rather interesting, but not really my main focus(nice bonus though). Another contribution to the lack of development could also tie in with availability, but K20 is looking to be quite intriguing
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] SonicSamZ:
Anyone actually gotten their device from Gearbest yet able to confirm what the hell it is they're actually selling?

Global sounds like Version A to me now, even though I was convinced until 10 minutes ago we'd be getting Version C.

edit: Not that it is anyones surprise, but the product listing matches Version A and Gearbest support is sticking to that (without confirming Version name) so lets say it is most likely Version A.

I'll wait for Version C from B&H Photo then!
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] Twodordan:
Did anyone find any new sources in the meantime? I'm specifically looking at Europe. And the 8gb of RAM version.

Any news from asus or any retailers ballparking whether new stocks are coming next week or next month or next 6 months? lol
[ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers] DoubleM101:
In Portugal, as far as i know:

- Asus eShop as soon as it gets one model in stock (i never saw two different models at same time) it's gone in some hours. Then it has no stock at all for days.

- Retail stores, theres a dozen with the phone listed but not a single one with stock.

I'm still waiting to buy it on Amazon but soon i will give up and choose any other phone. It's a shame because i think it's the only SD855 on the market with a LCD instead of Amoled and i want LCD to prevent any burn in since i play a lot one game with static icons. But nowadays it's not easy to find a phone with a good CPU, camera, LCD and... stockish Android. If at least Xiaomi had stock Android...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Anik49:
Hello i have a unique problem with my s4. Few days ago my fb messenger app uninstalled by it's own or accidentally not sure about that, but now the problem is Facebook messenger not installing anymore. Tried factory reset but not working. Also wipe cache partition from recovery. But not working. From play store got 504 error and if i tried to install the apk directly, it shows app not installed. Messenger lite is working fine.

Can any one help me please ☹☹☹.

Btw phone is not rooted and never flash anything.

Current android version is 5.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] dnts:
I have a new Sony BT5100 integrated car stereo/BT handsfree kit. After over two years with the lousy Parrot Rhythm'n'Blue, I though Sony, having their 4th generation units, might have done a better job. They did not. Except for some strange BT connectivity issues with the Parrot, it surpassed the Sony almost on every ground from user experience/ease of operation.

But that is not why I am writing here - I have an issue which I am sure is partly a WM6 issue - when I turn off the ACC in my car the set immediately shuts off, which is fine, but also hangs the call EVEN IF I SELECTIVELY TURN OFF HANDSFREE on my Kaiser before shutting off the engine...

Does anybody know of a way around this issue? I want to continue the call after I park the car....

My current ROM - latest Dutty WM6.1 but this also happened with a previous 2-months old WM6.1 ROM.

Thanks,

Nir
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] amirhunter666:
Hi guys.i am in a dilemma.i want to buy a nokia phone wich one do you prefer for buying?7 plus or 8?actually price of both of them are the same in our country but 7 plus is a little more expensive. Android pie is enough for me and as i searched a little,android q doesnt have lots differences versus of pie.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Pabliell:
If you really have to choose a Nokia device, go for 8. It has a much better chipset and screen, and those two will be defining your experience. Camera in 7 Plus is a bit better, overall it's a bigger phone, with bigger screen. Stock camera app is really poor, so you'd be better with GCam mod. Nokia 7 Plus is a bit more popular device, so if you like modding, you'll find more there. Battery life looks similar.

But in full honesty, avoid Nokia. Their phones look nice and are priced decently, but software support is garbage. Nokia 8 was updated to Pie in December, but major compass bug was fixed this month. Maybe HMD will understand one day, that releasing 20 phones a year for such a new and small brand means sacrifices in software department.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] amirhunter666:
Ty sir for your opinion.what do yo think about Samsung galaxy A x0 series?i like nokia 8 because its very fast and powerful and its enough for next 3 or 4 years.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Pabliell:
Nokia 8 is a solid device, don't get me wrong. But if you care for fast and reliable software updates, well it's not here. Also, the camera is closer to a mid-range, than a flagship.

If you can sacrifice those 2 things, take Nokia 8 and you'll be happy with it. I'm definitely sticking to mine, even if I find those 2 things a little annoying, overall experience is really great.

I'm trying to stay away from mid-range devices personally. I'd rather take an older flagship, than a modern mid-ranger, cause manufacturers usually treat flagships better, they also perform better and the community always finds a way to fix some annoyances. Well, usually that's the case, Nokia 8 seems to be an exception.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] amirhunter666:
Ty again.yes i know.older flagship is better than a modern mid ranger.in my country if you want to sell your phonw,if you have a samsung device you can sell it easily.but if you have nokia or sony or Huawei,it will be very difficult to sell it.i have sony xperia z3plus and I put a fair price on it but nobody like it. Because of that i am in a dilemma. If i buy nokia 8 i dont know how i can sell it in the future but samsung galaxy a30 (the mid ranger which i want to buy it) it can easily sell in the future,what is your idea about this.

Bro ihave another question,does nokia8 have any problem about red hollow and color on its display?
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] Pabliell:
Well, you have to decide on your own, if you can live with a mid-range device. I know I don't like the idea, so my choice always goes with flagships.

The only "problem" with the screen I've found is that it has a blue-ish tint. But it's easily fixable with blue light filters/night mode slider.
[Nokia 8 Questions & Answers] mazin mr:
That depends on you.

Nokia 8 = Snapdragon 835

Nokia 7 plus = Snapdragon 660

Nokia 8. Has flagship processes. So gaming on the phone will be very good with high frame rate
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] RazvanG:
I bought my case on Amazon wanting a better way to protect my phone since the official silicone Samsung one shows heavy signs of wear after only a few weeks of use. I'll list the pros and cons below and I will add pictures later.

Pros:

-Texas. The case was designed in Texas.

-Low price. The case costs a fraction of the similar ones from other manufacturers.

-UNICEF. A part of the profits get donated to help others.

-Solid built. The case adds overall protection to the phone.

-Kickstand. It has one built-in and it gets the job done.

Cons:

-Made in China. The case I have received came scratched and dusty right out of the box so quality control could be better.

-Bulky. I know the case was designed to protect the phone in case of accidental drops, but coming from a silicone case, it feels like a different phone altogether.

-HOT. The phone gets warmer than usual under heavy usage conditions and/or while charging. The case does not dissipate heat properly.

-No Wireless Charging. The feature does not seem to work while having this case on, including Powershare for charging other devices.

-No Magnetic Mount Support. The case is too thick to be used with a magnetic phone mount that requires a metal plate between the phone and the case.

Things that could be better but not necessarily under cons:

I wish it had a better finish on the inside in order to avoid the inner plastic pattern of the case leaving a permanent imprint on the back of the phone. I've had this happen with other plastic cases after a few month of use. Also, the molded faux screws on the back could be removed from future case revisions since they don't really add any value to the case and look very fake and cheap.

All in all I'm not disappointed with my purchase, it really seems to protect the phone very well, but I feel like I'll go back to the silicone one just because, personally, I mind the added bulk.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] SuperLeakTX:
If you mind the bulk, you should simply get the super thin case with tempered glass screen protector.
[Samsung Galaxy S10+ Accessories] ArmadilloTekCase:
Cons:

-Made in China. The case I have received came scratched and dusty right out of the box so quality control could be better.

If you want everything none made in china, you better strip yourself.

-Bulky. I know the case was designed to protect the phone in case of accidental drops, but coming from a silicone case, it feels like a different phone altogether.

This is military grade 20 feet drop proof case, and it meant to be bulky. Why you get this case?

-HOT. The phone gets warmer than usual under heavy usage conditions and/or while charging. The case does not dissipate heat properly.

-No Wireless Charging. The feature does not seem to work while having this case on, including Powershare for charging other devices.

Dude, it works with high quality Charger, like original charger or Anker

-No Magnetic Mount Support. The case is too thick to be used with a magnetic phone mount that requires a metal plate between the phone and the case.

You actually can insert a metal piece, but wait, why don't you make a con like : it is not made of 24k gold? GET OUT HERE MAN!!!! Don't buy nothing because it is free!!! Buy something worthy to you!

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] qtotter:
I've been using Pixel 3 only for two weeks, and haven't understood its security mechanism fully yet.

Usually on other phones, I simply run TWRP and modify hosts to avoid ads. After doing the same on Pixel 3 and booting into system, ads are still there, which means hosts modification didn't work properly.

So I installed Magisk from TWRP, and did the same modification on Android, and I confirmed ads were all gone as usual. Then, I uninstalled Magisk with the modified hosts left in /system/etc, and reboot the system to find ads were all back...

It looks like you need Magisk installed on Pixel 3 to keep system file modifications working. I haven't tried font modifications, but I assume the result would be the same.

Could someone explain to me what causes this system file modifications fail without Magisk installed? A new Pixel-unique system security mechanism?? Thanks in advance!

[Google Pixel 3 Questions & Answers] qtotter:

- returning your defective device
