First off don't use caps second you have an app draining your battery like Facebook or google plus of you don't have root then get it and install better battery stats from XDA.

Network Problem :c

Hi! I read every forum/post I could, but I don't know what else to do... I'm not and advance user, but I'm used to flashing ROMs, Stock ROMs, trying recoverys etc. always had an Android phone and I always unlock the bootloader, flash new rom and blah blah... so, here's my problem T^T
A week ago I buy a Samsung S4 GT i9500... not 'casuse I'm a fan of Samsung, but 'cause the price was great (at least in my Country)... The glas was cracked, but the touch was ok, the only thing broken was the front camera, but hey... I'll never used it
So the phone was able to connect to all the 3 carriers in my country (Argentina) Personal - Movistar - Claro. So I started with a Custom Recovery... everything OK
I always used the CyanogenMOD roms, so I downloaded the last one for my phone... but was kinda buggy... so I started to look for another options, I downloaded MIUI (official) but was too chinese for my taste, I mean, no Play Store, half of the phone options was in chinese, so... I moved on... the last one was Thunder Universe V6... was ok, nice skins, fast... stable... but the battery was the problem, almost 1% per minute, with power save activated so... I decided to go back to Stock ROM or Firmware... but I couldn't find one for my country or the links were dead...
So I finally found this one (I don't know if I can post a link to another forum so I will post the specs only):
Model: GT-I9500
Model name: GALAXY S4
Country: Argentina
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 2735569
Build date: Tue, 09 Sep 2014 11:17:09 +0000
Product Code: ANC
PDA: I9500UBUGNI1
CSC: I9500ANCGNI1
MODEM: I9500UBUGNI1
Flashed with Odin, no errors, everything went ok... but after all the update, all my apps I realize that I have signal bars, but no carrier connection... only "Emergency Calls Only"
I started to read, and try a couple of things, but no luck... if I change the modem/radio/baseband I got the "unknown baseband" "uknown IMEI" thing... I flashed the phone to the previous roms, Cyano and Thunder but the problem remains...
I don't know what else to do :s and send my phone to someone for fixing it is very expensive, more than half the price of a new phone :s so if there is something I could try to fix it myself, will be amazing...
If u need more data, or whatever just ask, and i will do it, and post the result...
thanks in advance and sorry for my crappy eng >.<

Hi mate ,
Try flashing a stock rom and see if it helps.....but to me it looks like the EFS folder is broken , do you have an EFS folder back up? if not you may have to take the phone to a local service center ( samsung or not) and have the imei fix, you need a box like Z3X or similar to do it.

Hi! thanks for replaying! I can't find a stock rom for my country or the links are dead :s the one I downloaded (I put the specs on my previous post) seems to be an unbranded stock rom... but I don't really know, I don't have an EFS folder back up >.< I know... my bad here :s I read about the z3x box or the octopus one, but I was hoping for another problem more easy to fix :s there is a way to be sure that is the EFS folder? like 100%? there is nothing more I can do or try? :c
Thanx again!

Hi ,
the stock rom you flashed should been fine ( check here for stock rom for your country http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-I9500/PSN/ ) , if that did not help can it only be two things hardware ( like the sim caddy) or the EFS folder....there is no way to know without one of those boxes....
The repair should run around 25 usd........

Install this APP and add some screenshots.
* Remember: If he product code being inactive and causing no network is somewhat related to EFS being corrupted even if the IMEI is still intact. Restore a EFS backup if you have it or get your device to repair.

This started sometime after OTA update to Lollipop but then I downgraded to 4.4.2 but made no difference so again updated to Lollipop, could be hardware also as it was intermittently working and then completely died but then I read about lot of posts about corrupted Wireless file which needs rooting to delete so I was thinking of making one last try for rooting and see if it helps but need help with right rooting method for this phone.

Galaxy S5 Play Store problems

Hello everyone. I recently bought an Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F). After I made the "first run set-up" , I went to Google Play to download all the apps I needed.And then Google Play suddenly stopped and an error poped out : "Google Play stopped working"..ok I tried again,after aproximatively 3 minutes the error shows up again and again..I know that Samsung has some problems with Google Play,so I tried some fixes found on the internet. I tried deleting all data,cache,and updates.. It worked.Looks like my phone has some "problems" with the new update (6.0.5) for Google Play Store. With the old one (5.x - sorry I can't remember the version),I have no problems. But,the other problem is that after a few minutes,the app updates itself to the last version. I even tried to make a factory reset,but the error still shows up (I tried to reset the phone from the settings and from the recovery boot). I don't have a problem using the old version of PLay store,but I also can't use an outdated version for too long. Is there any way to fix it? I'm trying all kind of fixes found on the internet for hours and I'm getting angry. Is there any way to fix it,or I can send it to warrany? (I'm afraid to send it to warranty because I know that all they do there is to reset my phone and I lose a lot of time waiting to make a freaking reset that I can make even myself).
I would have posted an image with the error,but this forum doesn't allow me to put links into my threads for "security reasons".
So please,if you can help me It would be awesome. Thank you again and sorry for my bad english.
I forgot to mention,phone model is SM-G900F with Android 5.0 (I can`t make update to 5.1,I dont know why.)

Try reflashing 5.0 stock firmware using Odin
Note: G900F does not have 5.1.1 yet

Well,I'm very dissapointed because I got my phone to some GSM Services,and most of they told me that this is a common issue for Samsung devices and you must be pretty lucky to not get into such errors with an Samsung phone. So yes,I will "maybe" try to flash the original firmware with Odin,but I don't think it will help. So anyway thank you for helping me,I will try to use this phone with this bulls*it error and maybe,maybe (which is quite impossible) Samsung will release an update that would solve this problem.

Whats your firmware build number?

Just to lighten you up, this problem is not "common" in Samsung devices. My family and relatives uses mostly Samsung phones and tablets and never did we have this problem, even on two Galaxy S5s (G900F and G900FD).
Flashing the stock firmware should help.
Sent from my SM-G900F using XDA Forums

Well,I reflashed the stock rom with Odin3.9 but this problem still occurs. If you are talking about Baseband version than this is it: G900FXXU1BOJ1
EDIT: After 2 months of trying to fix the problem,it still occurs.

Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos/Dual Sim black version (SM-G935FD) HELP PLEASE...

Hi all !
I'm here cause i really need your help and to be honest everything i've found on web so far, is telling totally the opposite things so i'm lost.
Let me explain a ltl, i purchased a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Duos/Dual Sim black version (SM-G935FD).
Actually i'm from France ( and i was travelling to Serbia for work, and broke my Note 4 )... The problem is i can't do any update from the phone "Registration Failed" when i click on it.
So after few hours on google, looks like the updates simply doesn't work cause i'm moving France - Serbia ... and the phone seems to be imported from Vietnam.
...
first of all, do you think this update problem is realy linked to this ?
second, i was searching on SAMMOBILE for SM-G935FD to try to put a French Firmware with odin (i don't even know if i can do such a thing without ****ing it up ?)... and on this model all i could find are countries from ASIA.
when i type *#1234# in call i get this :
AP : G935FXXU1BPJG
CP : G935FXXU1BPJG
CSC : G935FOXE1BPH1 (i'm not sure if its a O or a 0 ... the letter or the number :-/)
Model : SM-G935FD
in the Software Infos (in settings) i got this :
Android Version : 6.0.1
BaseBand Version : G935FXXU1BPJG
Kernel Version : 3.18.14-9519568
Version Number : MMB29K.G935FXXU1BPJG
...
please guys i spent a lot of money (in hurry) for this phone, and i'm scared that i got ****ed by the vendor...
if anyone here knows something and can help me... would mean a lot...
Thanks in advance for any kind of help guys.

please guys... if someone got any answer... would mean a lot...
as well if u need any information that can help you answer me feel free to ask...
thanks again.

No need to worry INAX93,
Firmware for 935F will work on 935-FD
Please go to the link below (external link)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/download/115870/G935FXXU1BPLB_G935FOXA1BPL2_XEF/
You can download this firmware and flash it using Odin_3.12.3 in the download mode by pressing volume down+home+power key when ur phone is switched off and selecting the correct files (the firmware package contains 4 files, hence you need to select the correct slot) and you should be good to go with latest firmware for France...
Hope this helps...

Thank you a million times! And yes it bhelps a lot!
I feel a lot better just with the hope your reply gave me!
So you are sure that i can go with this french firmware and will not get any trouble right? (cause the thing is that i'm not able to even find on Sammobile the firmware i currently have, and looks like its impossible to save from the device without rooting...)
I see a lot of people getring troubles with some functions not working...
And the last thing do you think the "registration failed" that i get when i click on manual update in the phone settings is linked to my location? (not being in Vietnam?)
Thanks a lot again!

Oh salut salut ! Thanks a lot! I guess i'll do try to do it today then! Thanks a lot!
Joyeux Noel a toi et aux tiens !
Merry Christmas to all of you guys! And thanks again for your help and kindness!

I use the ZTO 935F firmware on my 935FD with no problems, works without problems.

Dont worry INAX93 this is a confirmed official download of the French firmware. Dont worry it wont trip knox if done correctly and also your phone will be restored to french firmware without any trouble. I have done similar attempts of flashing official G935F firmware on my G935-FD without any problems am able to update and knox warranty also intact. So go ahead and wish you a merry christmas and a happy new year....
---------- Post added at 03:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:56 AM ----------
Registration will also succeed INAX93 so dont you worry...just go ahead and flash the firmware....cheers....

Hi guys !
I just wanted to thank you all one more time ! with your help i did it ! now my phone (SM-G935FD) is with his French XEF firmware !
So thanks a lot to all of you for your help !
Merry Christmas and Happy new year to all of you !

Hi dear experts !
Hope all of you guys are going well, that the new year brought only positive things to you and your family !
I'm back in this thread cause I need your help one more time... everything was well until approx 6 months ago maybe a ltl more... maybe when the 7.0 version went out...
Actually that's when I faced the problem cause i bought a Gear S3 Frontier... I started having troubles with notifications mostly, they were delayed (sometimes for 3-4 hours !)...
While doing a lot of tests in all ways... i found that when i uninstalled all the updates linked to the "Google" app, or disabling it... it solved the problem... Then 6-7 months later i got pissed of cause i wanted to use some of the Google Now features... So i started searching again... after all kind of tests, i finally found that the problem also get solved when my Bluetooth is OFF... When it's set to off i can have the last update for the Google app and everything works fine...
So as i discovered that, i started thinking... maybe the only problem i have actually is a problem with my Bluetooth... as it started 6-7 months ago, 7.0 Version, Gear S3... the point is I started using the Bluetooth before (for my car) and it was always on... but maybe all mixed together... the Google app updates, the 7.0 Version and the Gear S3 king od bluetooth use... is not mixing well... or i don't know...
then i remembered that i flashed my S7 Edge (g935FD) from Vietnam with a firmware from France (g935F)... and maybe i did something incorrect while flashing that led to some Bluetooth troubles that i just discovered... (i had some problems with bluetooth before, like reconnecting randomly to a bluetooth device even if i disconnected it or things like that... )...
So i started searching and find out that there is actually few different way of flashing it, using odin... and i was unable to find a clear explanation of the differencies to be able to understand what i need to do to flash my phone again and in the best conditions.
There is people saying that a bad way of flashing can lead to bluetooth issues (and other things even worse but ok...), so if someone here can explain me, how can i manage to do it the best way... it would mean a lot...
differences between CSC and Home_CSC for example ? then some people are saying "check the re-partition" others say that you must avoid that... how do I know what is the best to do ?
then a lot of them are talking about CSC codes ?
I hope someone will have answers, i want to try to flash it again to try to solve this problem, without bricking it, and also without triggering the knox thing...
thanks in advance for help again...

Ps : the problem i was talking about is :
https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/help/s7-edge-notification-delay-problems-t3635161
or even :
https://us.community.samsung.com/t5...and-Answers/Delayed-notifications/td-p/114947

no one ? please guys...

still no one to help ?
guys i need just to know if it may solve my problem to flash my phone...
i need to know if i need to check the "re-partition" thing in Odin... somewhere they say "you must check it if you are changing the CSC" and other say "You must avoid checking this unless you have a Pit file" ...
So what is the correct thing to do ?
