Data drops.....

Is anyone else having major data drops? Mine is happening like 3x a day now! Very annoying. It has nothing to do with airplane mode. All of a sudden I will see my 3G signal leave, then there's a small x near my status bars then the x will go away but the 3G signal will not come back unless I reboot. When I reboot, my battery level drops all the way to where I need to connect my charger to keep it on.
This started happening about 5 days ago. Never an issue before that. Started happening after I flashed Trigger v1.5 rom. Went back to Bionix V and it's still happening. Wiped, Wiped, reflashed, wiped, wiped reflashed...still an issue.
Any help is appreciated!

You might try flashing a different modem.

Or you might have a SIM getting ready to crap out on you.

That just may be the problem. Its happening now like every hour. Forgot about that. It happened to me once before. years ago. Forgot, but can I just go into T-mo and get a new sim?

yes..you can tell them whats happening..minus the ROM flashin part..and they will get you a new SIM

what ROM for my Korean SM-N910S?

Hi All,
I got a note 4 (N910SKSU1ANJ1 build) and want to remove the branding with a stock rom, what one do i need? I am a bit of a n0b with this so want to double check before i brick this using odin or whatever.
thought it best to ask here.
my note is the exynos model.
than you.

N910L from korea too
And full of stock app

You mean the L version can be flashed on the S?

Now i think you shouldnt root your phone and wait for Lollipop coming at end november

All the models in Korea are from an operator, so all have some stuff inside.
You can flash S/L/K from the different operators.

can i flash a rom that will have no branding? if not i will wait for the lollipop update.

SM-N910U(Samsung Exynos 5433)------[HongKong,Taiwan,Australia,New Zealand,Chile]------{TDD-LTE+FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM} 【Firmware:N910UXXU1ANIF】
or this one?
SM-N910C(Samsung Exynos 5433)------[Asia,Europe,South America]------{FDD-LTE+WCDMA+GSM}【Firmware:N910CXXU1ANIF】
I already flashed the latest f/w for the S model with the Korean telco SKT, I would like f/w as close to stock as possible, SKT has annoying pop up on the boot screen, it thinks i am roaming...! (am in the UK)

usually you can flash these to remove any branding, but i know its so new custom roms will take time.
if i flashed the U/C f/w would i brick it?
I dont want korean apps or pop up on the boot screen, my main grip at the moment.!

What's battery life like on your S model? What UK network are you with?
I think it would be ok to flash but without the U or C radios. You flash at your own risk though!
I'm getting the S version and will try the U firmware as its closer to the S than the C is. I'm not liking the sound of the phone thinking it's roaming! Battery drain

I have not taken much notice on the battery., its a day or so. I have not monitored much.
I get a pop up every time i boot up about roaming and activating data? (in English).
I am with 3 but the phone is unlocked, I have all the exynos f/w ready to flash, I just want to double check before i do it..
and yes, its rare. not many have exynos models in the uk.

Congratulations on your exynos model. Hope you're enjoying it. I will soon have my S model, would have preferred the C, I'm on three UK too so we'll be in the same boat.
Please let me know what screen brightness level you use and what kind of screen on time you get, please

the phone is smashing, no worries on that end, i have auto brightness and have not noticed anything. i got 48324 with the an tutu bench mark too, so all is well on the performance front :good:
i will do a battery check now and post back. I currently have the latest S f/w from the korean teleco.

Thank you so much. Let's see some screen shots!
And is fast charging working? As we'll have to use their funny Korean to UK adaptor lol

fast charging is very good, works fine.
plug is no problem, i got a shaver type plug you can get 2 pin adapters for uk use anywhere.

it got a power saving mode too btw, you can apparently get crazy number of hours 'extra' with it activated when power is low, 10% or so. the screen will probably be very hard to see at that rate but hey ho...!

what are your thoughts on flashing the other roms (C & U)? when i boot into the android root update screen its all korean, so i am a bit worried i wont have a clue what to do,...
i cant imagine you can brick it by flashing them but just want to get others views? I got a Galaxy S4 in Thailand last year and it was 100% english off the box, also a exynos model, wonder can you flash Thai f/w with this?

Softbricked T-Mobile SM-G935T

I was updating some apps from the playstore and decided to check my voice mail by holding the 1 key in the dialer, but then my phone rebooted. Now, it won't boot past the TMO screen no matter what I do. I've tried wiping cache in recovery, and everything but a factory reset because I have a pin/fingerprint set up. I've heard that it will lock you out of your phone for 3 days if you factory reset from MM for security reasons, hence why I haven't done it. I can't find the firmware to sideload for the T-Mobile variant, can someone shed some light on this issue? It's rather annoying to have it softbrick for no reason, and not have the firmware to fix it. If someone has the firmware that would be great, or if they know how to fix it.

you can bypass FRP(the lock after reset). ive done this with about 5 s6 edges. I just bypassed one last night. i would assume it prolly works with the s7 edge also.

After a few "successful" flashes according to odin it finally booked correctly. It took it s long time to boot after the flash, so I'm glad it's working again. I would like to know what caused it to suddenly softbricked, I didn't do anything to cause an issue.

Not sure what happened today but everything been fine since I got my phone. Today after using bbc iplayer then going back to it from multi tasking menu everything froze up . .phone wen black and went off . .was scary to say least . .i held power and volume down for 7 seconds and it came back on. . . .nothing happen since . . .anyone know what that could have been?

Are you using odin? I flashed all of the packages via Odin 3.10.7 I flashed the larger file (MD5 I think it was referred to as) and it succeeded every time according to Odin, but it took me 3 full flashes for it to boot fully.

So you tried the power on and volume key method but it stuck on starting up? Looks like I got off lightly . . Wonder if it's a software thing like the camera problem people are experiencing

This happened to a lot of s6edge+ users in the beginning.
Still no idea what was causing it. Updates seen to have cleared it, however, every s6edge+ reboots/freezes at launch one in a while.

Well, consider yourself lucky. I had (in fact have) a Moto 360 which was bricked by Motorola at the last update and now it's sitting on my desk as a paperweight for more than a month.

That sucks is it the gen 1 or 2? Moto support went downhill after I bought my Nexus 6 from back in 2014. I haven't bought a Moto product since then for that reason. Can you boot into this bootloader at all? I've flashed my Huawei watch before without an issue.

It is Gen1. It is fixable via ADB, with a proper connection rig but my improvised rig resulted in a fried USB port on one of my computers after a successful connection, so I just gave up. I may one day buy a Chinese connection rig (there are some nice ones for sale) but the investment is just not worth it, I will probably get a Gear S2 and be done with Motorola, forever.

I know this is a little off topic:
Motorola didn't make it easy due to their lack of pogo pins (even though most people don't like them). I'm not sure how it would fry a USB port, but anything can happen. I plugged my 6P into my Surface Pro 4's dock via an A-C cable and it windows said it was trying to pull to much current and shut off the port until I rebooted. Things happen for better or worse, but I prefer AW over Tizen due to the long term support, despite liking Samsung's rotating bezel.

If 10k was 0, then yes, you can't go back to 10k without bricking your phone.

Definitely waiting on this if can't go back

Any idea to when we'll have this implemented in ROM's like WETA?

Jeez. Luckly im in WETA Rom 10k update i dont think im planning to restore to factory just to move to 10p. I have the feeling LG will becoming like Samsung and the Knox system. Given the fact that they are already making the LG V30 to be more like the other flagships (no removable battery and all that) or we dont have to go that far, we can already see it on the g6. They are practically doing the same thing that samsung did. From Samsung galaxy s1 to s5 it was removable battery and there were some features that are not present anymore from the s6 to the present s version. Same thing with the Note series. Now if we take a look at LG, from LG G1 to G5 it was removable battery among other features that are not found any more from the g6 to probably the possible g version. Same thing happens with the V series. From V10 to V20 it is removable battery among other features that wont be found anymore on the V30. Rumors are there wont be a second screen on the V30 (and i thought that's one of the things that made the phone different from other flagships). But well... If they are making changes to external and some internal things to make it look like other flagships, why wouldnt they apply somethig like knox too new updates or for the brand new LG V30 about to come? . Lets see when the V30 actually comes out,

got the kdz for 10p update will upload in a bit

I think can`t be only hope is Root

I might have the solution for root. But I need someone who can test it out for me.
If you are on "H91810p" and have your bootloader unlocked (if not I can tell you how to do it), let me know so that I can walk you through the steps. It going to be bit involved so not for first timers.

Yeah you’ll need your own backed up file. But if your having signal issues when using the phone other than on sprint that’s normal. Nothing can be done to fix that. It’s a side effect of using the device other than on sprint.

Its just that it is weird the moment I add a gsm sim card into phone it the signal fluctuate drops every 3 seconds then it connects then it does the same thing. I had a lg g3 from Sprint which I had gsm unlocked and it never display this kinda issue the signals was satisfactory but no means the best.
