Is there any 'Great' way to fix Google Now Country Issue - Galaxy Grand Prime Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
So recently I just upgraded my Galaxy Grand Prime from Android 4.4 to 5.1 lollipop. And as of I know the firmware that I downloaded from SamMobile was not from the region that I am leaving. So for that now when I try to setup Google Now. It says 'Your Account Is not illegible for Google Now'. I asked on Android Forum and they said me It maybe the regions problem. Even it was totally fine on 4.4. I even tried the Fake GPS Thing. But no solution it won't work.
If there any way to fix it please let me know.
*(and btw I am completely noob on xda and I have auto capitalization enabled on my keyboard )

Honor 6+ for KSA and UAE community

I made this post to gather all Honor 6+ owners from KSA and UAE who bought it from souq (dot) com to share their problems, questions and experiences.
My experience is excellent with 6+. but when i upgraded it to lollipop, all gestures functions were gone!
No double tap to wake screen, no draw to open apps .. even all motion settings like flip mob to mute were disappeared
I used this file for upgrading:
hxxp://7961b64fc16ad15a92ef-9f98f1eddca1ebd26a80f4b64e8bd016.r62.cf3.rackcdn.com/downloads/PE-TL10C900B324.zip
(replace hxxp with http)
I downloaded it from here:
hxxp://hihonor.com/en/pages/support#?view=downloads
(replace hxxp with http)
I tried a factory reset, but it always fail at 10%
I can't call huawei support as i am outside of ksa now.
Any one faced the same problems when upgrading to lollipop?
not yet updated because of these problems. Can you check in gestures settings, if these features are still available? I purchased from Souq UAE
I tried flashing Latest 5.1.1 Chinese Stable Developer Edition , and then use downgrade package provided on Huawei Club Forum by chinese guys , but failed also.

No gestures options at all after upgrading. May you call customer support to ask them about this problem,and when the official upgrade for uae and ksa will be released?
I think that phones provided by souq.com have a modified software(i can't understand why )
So all of MENA region custmores have a buggy update.
We should contact with local provider & huawei to get our rights
any news about this dam update ?

Hi Guys,
Check out the Lollipop and Marshmallow update here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6/general/honor-6-heres-how-update-manually-to-t3323661
I bought my Honor 6+ from Souq.com UAE last month. As i'm residing in India and using Vodafone as my service provider but not able to access data internet (2G/3G/4G) in my phone (working fine with Wifi). It is displaying the 3G/4G symbol at the top but somehow its not working even after getting all the configuration done that is provided by Vodafone.
I tried with multiple service providers (Airtel/Reliance/Aircel/Idea) but its not working either, although the data net is working in another phone using the same SIM. Please help me , let me know if anyone else having the same issue.
I tried the B334 Russia, and it worked fine, but I bricked my phone after I tried to update to the marshmallow as per the following update link but I made one mistake that I did unzipped the 503 update.zip pachage and i only took the update.app file and put it on the dload folder, after that i was unable to boot my phone again,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/hono...ly-to-t3323661
and after several attempts to flash so many versions like (B130, B135, B300, B500, B503, B224, B334, B332, B510) I was able by the adb method to update to the latest Marshmallow update of UAE B510 but wifi and Bluetooth don't work anymore, and the mac address shows zeros 02:00:00:00:00 , ANY SUGGESTIONS?
in addition could someone told me the original firmware version that PE-TL10 in saudi comes with and where I can downloaded

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.

Note 4 N9100 Marshmallow feedback ? VoLte Status ?

Hi ,
Samsung released Marshmallow after a long wait for Open China Note 4 Duos , Hong Kong version is still pending for marshmallow update .
Q1. Did samsung introduced volte for note4 duos with marshmallow ?
Q2. Which custom recovery are you guys using ? Is lollipop compatible twrp working with marshmallow ?
any top chinese mobile forums that you guys can recommend . Google is getting polluted these days with many sites using scripts to copy content from xda to a blogspot site
I went ahead and did a bold move of flashing my HK Note 4 Dual N9100 with the Open China ROM 6.0.1 released by Samsung.
Steps did.
1) Used the cmw recovery compatible with N910w for N9100. Didnt find one for N9100 directly. Worked.
2) Flashed 6.0.1 on top of 5.1.1. After booting up, lot of apps crashed. understandable as it doesnot have google play. Hence factory reset.
3) Rooted the ROM 6.0.1 using Odin setup compatible for N910w. Didnt find one for N9100 directly. Worked.
4) Installed gapps pico. After setting up permissions and few hickups, it too worked.
5) Reinstalled rest of the apps from playstore, everything works.
Outcome - super snappy. excellent battery life than 5.1.1 ROM. Love it.
One problem - 10 mins after you turn off the screen, notifications wont show up on the phone. If your screen is on, all notifications shows up just fine.
Did some research and understood that its the dooze feature that is putting the phone to deep sleep. Its a very talked about issue in Samsung devices specially S5, S6 after it got updated to Marshmallow. Lot of suggestions are written
a) about adding required apps and google play store to "Do not Optimize" section. Tried all but all in vain.
b) Turn off Wifi and see, but no luck.
Its very annoying to not see the notifications show up but not a deal breaker as turning on the screen will bring them. But still.......Anybody have any suggestions?
Thanks for updating here , any luck with VoLte? Could you post the links of the exact custom recovery you used . does it support exfat and ext3/4 partition ? I plan on using a partitioned microsd with marshmallow with first half for system memory and 2nd half as removable storage (tib backup , media)
The last update for HK version was on 1st September 2016 which means they are working on the ROM . I am just guessing that CN version might not have VoLTe . There is no ROM difference between Open china and HK except gapps
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N9100/
my carrier does not support VoLTE. So unsure if the 6.0.1 rom supports it. VoLTE is not shown any where in the Network settings though. !
I lost the link for the recovery as i frantically downloaded a few and tried randomly for which one works. . I am trying to attach the recovery file but giving an error as i am a new member.
Any suggestions on the notificatons not showing up after screen off issue?
Is it app specific or all apps?
All apps !

The truth behind Samsung Galaxy Note N920F and how to update it

TLDR: Samsung N920F seems to be a N920T, and you can flush ROM from N920T.
Recently my friends asked to help them with their Galaxy Note 5 which was bought somewhere in China. It was stuck at Android 6, with last updates from 2016, and seemed to have some malware (factory reset did not help).
It was really strange to see model N920F - I checked many threads here, and everyone says that there should be no such version as N920F:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/note-5-n920f-n920t-t3310411
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/settings-sm-n920f-boot-loader-sm-n920p-t3776224
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/note-5-sm-n920f-eu-variant-please-help-t3527449
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/sm-n920f-stock-roms-t3482405
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/help/note-5-european-version-sale-sm-n920f-t3190929
Unfortunately, not even one of those topics found any reason for this or solution for updating. So I tried to find out the true and update phone myself.
At first, I booted to recovery. And there I saw that it model name was nobleltetmo - same as for N920T.
So I tried to install TWRP from N920T via Odin. TWRP successfully installed but phone stopped booting and TWRP only booted but did not work - it told me about bootloader version mismatch. So I found out that phone's bootloader version was N920TUVU4DPK6. So I tried to find a working firmware for this bootloader version and found it on xda: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tm...eral/stock-n920t-stock-n920tuvu4dpk6-t3518252
Fortunately, I could enter download mode and flush it with Odin. After it, phone worked fine, and now it was officially N920T. But even better things awaited - after updating it managed to fetch fresh updates! So I downloaded and installed them. Phone updated... And found new updates... And about 10 times again like this. Finally, I got the latest official Samsung Firmware with Android 7.0 - and it works flawlessly. Even Googe Play, NFC and banking services. I suppose that after this I could flush TWRP again because bootloader version also updated - but official firmware was quite okay so I didn't want to set up Lineage OS.
By the way, I think that I could find latest firmware and flush it with Odin in one go - but I didn't succeed in finding it.
Please beware that this N920F turned to be N920T - but your one can be another (N920V or N920P, for example)!
Now I am pretty sure that F in model version stands for "F***ed up".
So check bootloader version and be accurate.

I think you can try this rom: https://forum.xda-developers.com/note5/general/rom-lineageos-15-1-note-5-android-8-1-t3737405
If it is not compatible, you can enter rescue mode and check bootloader version.

Google Play Store partially in wrong language after update - PLEASE help!

Hello Everyone!
I'm hoping I can get some good advice on how to fix the issue that has come up.
I will try to be as detailed as I can in describing what has happened.
I started out with my Samsung S5 DUOS rooted on Android 4.4.2 but I had to update due to apps dropping support for 4.4.2.
Using Odin I installed Official Samsung 6.0.1 update for Android 6.0.1, after which I rooted the phone using the correct Chainfire Rooting package,
and after this I also installed the latest correct TWRP Recovery.
When starting up the phone everything was working fine except Google Services Framework and Play Store kept crashing constantly which I then solved by grabbing the APK's from another Samsung S5 running Android 6.0.1 and installed those on my phone. This fixed the crashing issue entirely and everything is now 100% stable and working just fine.
Which brings me to my problem: In the Play Store app it seems now that it is partially in English. I am running the phone set entirely to Swedish language otherwise. So most of the Play Store displays in Swedish, but certain things such as "Downloading" or "Install" or certain menu options of the app itself displays in English rather than Swedish. Also the app name is Play Store rather than "Play Butik" in Swedish. I thought that these APKs had all languages integrated in them and displayed the correct language depending on the language setting of the phone itself.
Any and all help to fix this so that I can have Play Store app run in Swedish would be appreciated very very much.
Kindest regards,
XDAFan.
P.S If I have posted this in the wrong place please move it to where it's supposed to go.
Might be a bug and ruled out with the next version of Playstore. I assume there are quite frequent updates, but performed in the background, like the Play Services updates.

That is an interesting theory! I went to APK Mirror and checked the versions of the APK's that I had pulled from the other (identical) phone and the Play Services APK was a match but the Playstore was outdated(!) so I pulled the latest compatible (Android 6.0+) version of that that I could find on APK Mirror and installed it and that fixed the problem!!
So BIG THANKS for thinking of this as a possible cause of my problem and the solution to it!
Kindest regards,
XDAFan.
