I have a 920G running stock 7.0 with the August 2018 security patch and have faced intermittent digitizer issues since the 7.0 update. As reported by others, the screen sometimes refuses to recognize finger touches, which is easily fixed by running a TSP FW update from the service menu.
I was wondering if this is purely a SW issue related to the stock Nougat upgrade or if it appears on custom ROMS (Dr. Ketan, Khongloi) as well? I will strongly consider ditching Samsung Pay and moving to a custom ROM if the issue is confined to stock ROMs.
Thanks!

It’s not a major update to Android 4.0 as its expected by everyone but it’s a minor update so called schedule update. OTA update is always appreciated since these days and in most cases it provides features and enhancements to smartphones along with fixing bugs.

So i downgraded my device from this firmware - N7000OXALA4 Germany ( recently both a new one) to N7000XXKJ4_N7000XENKJ2_N7000XXKJ4 just for the rooting functionality.. and run the OTA from 2.35 to 2.3.6 buildnr. XXKKA / N7000XXKK5
Last but not the least; Samsung has modified Android OS in accordance to add numbers while using the keyboard on Galaxy Note. Galaxy Note being a large size Android phone, it has ample space left and thereby with this update you will see number keys on the top of the letter keys.
With this rom N7000OXALA4 Germany after OTA i do have the numbers on top.
But with the current, XXKJ4 Dutch, OTA did not make the change for my keyboard, ( i did look into keyboard settings after flash ) all other improvements are there, i like this keyboard, so my question how to get it in the current installation? 2.3.6 buildnr. XXKKA / N7000XXKK5
Do you have this problem seen before? please tell me and i like to stay on this version, but if there is no other way...
Flashed several times and even older firmware to see how the OTA make improvement, it worked on the 3 other go but it seems not give me the keyboard with this rom? Help
Hi,
I am currently contemplating whether or not to replace the stock manufacter's firmware with a custom ROM on my Samsung Galaxy S I9000.
I have recently helped a friend to do the same with his Samsung Galaxy Ace and we successfully installed Cyanogen v7, which is based on Gingerbread 2.3.7.
However, there is a key issue with this firmware that has put me off going down the same route with my own phone. Unfortunately, the OS forces you to display your numbers in the traditional American format (XXX-XXX-XXXX). For me as a UK user, this just isnt' practical and has already caused some recognition issues with other apps on the galaxy ace.
I was wondering if this issue has been fixed in v10 of CM, or I was also looking at installing Helly Bean, if not, is anyone aware of some custom firmware that is friendly to UK users and offers the same features as CM?
Please folks, someone must know something on this subject? Surely all the custom ROMs out there can't be completely America-Centric???!
I appear to have made a mistake upgrading the standard firmware as the 2.3.7 release samsung have given me to upgrade my phone is the worse version of android I've used to date!
I have hellybean and it does not in fact I have never come across a ROM that does that I would personally tell your friend he should try another rom

Hi,
first of all I would like to thank Hennymcc for releasing CM12.1 for the G800F at all.
I was wondering why the latest update is from mid-August, so vital security patches are not included in this ROM.
Is there still an active development in this project?
My wife bought this device a few days ago, and I was really surprised that there does not seem to exist a recent version of CM12.1 for
this (I believe) popular device.
Does anyone have further information regarding this matter?
Thank you.
Best regards,

Cm12.1 development is dead i think
because they're working on cm13 now
Not entirely dead, we'll see what happens if and when official Lollipop rolls out...
It is great that he already works on Marshmallow for the G800F, but let's see what the current situation is:
We can choose between stock-4.4.2 from the stone-age or CM12.1 from mid-August 2015.
Of course, CM12.1 is newer, but the most important security fixes are still missing, so currently the G800F cannot be declared as safe.
It would be great if he could release a CM12.1 version (just one) with the current fixes shortly.
When Samsung (if they do it at all...) will release the official Lollipop-ROM, these security fixes will surely be fixed, and there
will be (from the security standpoint) no need for an updated CM12.1 or even CM13, except for the bloatware or when new security issues will arise after that.
Curious what people think is the best Android version for the S6 Active. I have 5.1.1 and wondering if I should downgrade, upgrade or leave it...
@raframos, the best OS for your S6 Active, is the Android Nougat 7.0. The reason is because it comes with the latest security updates, and also apps are more compatible with it. Android 5.1.1 is outdated. I advice you should NOT (in capital letters) downgrade the OS because it can mess up with your IMEI and Serial No (It happened to me and I will repair it this week). So, I suggest that you should first upgrade to Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, and try it out for some weeks. If you are satisfied with it,you can upgrade but if not, stay there.

Hey everyone! After lurking for weeks and doing updates I signed up to give props and dig a little deeper....
I started with a G870A running 4.4.2 NG3 and needed to enable VoLTE, following r0ckarongs effortless tutorial I updated to 6.0.1 QD1 through the individual updates.
[EOL][G870A][MM][6.0.1] All Firmware Updates (latest QD1) (Updated 20/04/2018)[EOL]
Here you can find the update files for the Samsung Galaxy S5 Active (G870A) from AT&T General Remarks (Important): This does NOT work for S5 Actives from Verizon. These updates WILL REMOVE ALL your data. Make a backup with Smart Switch first...

Unfortunately, I read numerous reviews of KK vs LP, KK vs MM, LP vs MM and thought 6.0.1 would be the way to go......and I looooathe it!
Has anyone developed a smooth method of downgrading from the 6.0.1 version back to 4.4.2 or 4.4.4?
Tips on AT&Ts bloatware removal would also be helpful....
Thanks in advance for any and all assistance!
I don't think it's possible as ATT and Verizon locked the bootloader for their S5's effectively making it impossible or difficult to downgrade
42 Galaxy S5 models - Dummies Guide
#1.1. Think that everyone's Samsung Galaxy S5 is the same as yours... Think again! There are currently 42 models of the Samsung Galaxy S5 phone. Most of which are covered in this General Galaxy S5 forum. Some of these models have already had as many as 24 different stock Samsung firmware...
androidforums.com
That's what I'd found as well, along with a few that claimed success using numerous programs to start fresh - no confirmation on the accuracy of that though.
With the PH3 (6.0.1) update came a stock image containing the 6.0.1 bootloader, essentially making any previous device identical to one with factory installed MM.
I was thinking a stock image of KK 4.4.2 would function the same as the PH3 update by reverting the bootloader and OS, I can do most anything with a pc but Android's a new animal....so, I'm likely incorrect and have no idea wth I'm talking about. lol
Having tweaked and swapped a lot of pc software and OS I figure it may work since the older version OS would still match the original hardware - maybe someone will chime in that's tried it or has a copy of the KK factory image I can try installing. I actually have a NITB G870A....but haven't the faintest clue how to get a copy of the factory image off of it......
I appreciate the input Brother, thanks for the response!
