Do I say goodbye to my S6? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge

Well, this is the story, I was using my S6 Edge only as an ipod because unfortunately the gsm network stoped working, so it was attached to samsung account to this phone and i knew the password, I wanted to update to the Android 7 version , I sucessfully did it, and when I turned on, the phone ask me to put the samsung account attached and put the email and the passowrd, but for some reason the screen dont go to the next step, instead of that I ask me again to put the email and password so I went to my samsung account in my laptop and I was able to enter (I was thinking that I put a wrong password) so for some stupid reason I disable my samsung account and when I re-enter and tried again with my phone now he told me that it was a wrong account and a wrong password.
Is there something I can do or now I have a new samsung block?
I bought this phone from ebay like 3 years ago :fingers-crossed:

[Q] xPosed caused signal loss??

After installing xposed on my S5, I kept losing service. Sometimes wouldn't even realize for a while (had my daughter call me on my work phone asking what's up with my phone)
Just wondering if anyone else had this problem or if it was caused by a specific module I used?? I had most of the Galaxy ones installed as well as the Framework (only mod that worked was to add custom text to my notification bar)
No signal issues here. I'm using wanam, app settings, gravity box (to swap recents/menu), greenify, isis root bypass and g touchwiz.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using XDA Free mobile app
Same issue here on xperia Z1, android 4.4.4. Installed Xposed, activate framework and reboot -> signal loss. Restoring ROM, ejecting and then inserting SIM card did not help
It's not xposed... I went back to stock unrooted and the problem still existed. Called AT&T and they had me go to get a new SIM card... it's doing it still today GRRRRR I've gotta get rid of my custom boot image (flashing android) and Dr. Who sound byte on boot then I'm calling them back and getting a warranty replacement. I'm honestly severely dissatisfied with this phone. When it's time for an upgrade I will NOT be purchasing another Samsung device.

I would just flash back to stock & see if it comes back. If that doesn't work, the radio may have just coincidentally gone bad in the middle of modding. I see a lot of S5's & no problems with signal so I wouldn't give up on Samsung yet if this is your only issue.
BTW if you go into your settings, about device, status screen, does your imei still show up?

That's not the only issue...I'm upset about the bootloader being locked and the charging port flap no longer stays shut.
My IMEI is still there it only works on WiFi now AT&T is sending me a warranty replacement in 4 business days I'm about to use my BF's old S4 in the meantime

I feel you on the bootloader issue.. everyone here does lol. I haven't seen the flap problem but you're definitely not having the best luck with the S5. Hopefully it's a fluke but make sure you're completely stock when you send the old one back b/c if they find any evidence that you voided the warranty (flashing, rooting, etc) they don't notify you, they just bill your account $400 and keep the phone.

Oh yeah I odin'd it yesterday, it's back to stock completely. Didn't even install an app on it since it has no signal LOL. I'm using my BF's old S4 and running 4.4.4 AOSP ROM right now... I don't know if I'll want to go back to my S5 when it comes in... Oh how I missed AOSP

Did you try one of the USSD codes for a Hard reset on your old S5 (*2767*3855#)? Sometimes they fix a little bit more than a normal factory reset.

I thank you. Yea I'm finding it hard to get signitures as I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account, just don't want my info allover the net. So if you would help spread the word amongst the developing community that would help, this applies to anyone who cares about what we do here. Again I thank you for your support.

I received the same thing and I quickly dismissed it, for I wanted to dive into my new phone. Now I'm trying to see if it is still valid, but I don't even know where to begin. I'm afraid I may have disabled the apk. Any advice?
That's actually pretty cool that Samsung does this. Thanks for the update!

go into your samsung account and do some searching in that area, dont know the exact place for it, but if you disabled the apk you are going to have to enable it to get your specific code, i disabled it too but turned it back on to get some camera features and ran into the code there.

Does Samsung pay work without a SIM card ?

If I brought a phone with me shopping that I currently don't have a SIM card in, will Samsung pay still work?
If I had to guess, without internet connection, it won't work. But I'm no expert here on that, lol.

Confirmed - it DOES work. You can purchase up to 5 things with no network connection. I just used it as a credit card (I have an iPhone active) and worked brilliantly!

I just got a promt in the GEAR app for Samsung pay, and it just says "please insert a swedish sim card" even though that's exactly what I have. So I'm not so sure you're not lying.

I am not sure if you are just an ass, or an idiot. You bump a post from 2015, and call me a liar? Really?
It worked fine in 2015, I don't know about now. Grow up.

Nah, just blind. Never saw that it was from 2015, and honestly never looked for a date, as all indications I've seen is that Samsung Pay was recently released, not two years ago. My bad.

SM-N950F/DS First Impressions

So I found a SM-N950F/DS on Ebay (They had a few)
When I first opened the Box I thought " Ohhh - did I goof or what - This thing is a weird size!"
I do not like the Curved Screen - but I knew it was curved when I ordered it.
This version has a Holder for either 1 SIM and 1 microSD card - or 2 SIMS
It also came with a Nice not too thick Clear Plastic Case
NOTE: I cannot register it at Samsung's web site (Well at USA's Web site)
I am looking into if I can manage to register it on some other country's Samsung site
It seems fast but I am coming from S7 and Note 4
I sold the S7 and an iPhone SE 64G to help pay for this
I prefer the Note 4 size and screen - but I will see how it goes after a week and report back.
I read a lot on my Note 4 (Both Documents and ebooks) and found it's screen size great, I am not so keen on the Note 8's screen.
So far I am starting to get used to the size.
Battery lasted all day yesterday.
I unplugged it at 515 AM at 9PM it was still going , and I downloaded a lot of data yesterday.
(Large files for some apps I have)
A bit more:
I do not mind the home button being on screen - I have always worried about the Home button going bad. (I only had one that was going bad but still)
(I still do not like the curved screen - I just see no advantage of it so far)
I just discovered a handy setting (for me) :
No more need to slide to answer!
Accessibility -> Single Tap Mode = Allows answer by just a tap vs slide to answer on lock screen.
Keep getting more and more into this Amazing Phone!
(But I still an not keen on size/shape).
It is getting easier to hold now at least - just note ever going to be as nice from reading with curved and narrower screen vs my trusty old Note 4
I have every Note and the size has always been a factor at first. But overtime you become use to the screen size but i must say this is very long phone but videos look great with all the real estate.
N950F/DS is a South East Asia version. I have the same model.
Registered in Malaysia.
More ramblings:
I have CricketWireless.
I setup the HotSpot on my Note 8 and it works!
I tried all sorts of apps and tricks on my (rooted T-Mobile) Note 4 and nothing would work.
(Unless I paid Cricket 10/Month more for it).
Anyway another Great Plus for my Note 8 - Lovin' it more and more each day I use it!

Do you know if the box was already opened and sim activated with the regional sim prior to sale? Let me know asap , gonna get the orchid grey from them hopefully

Mine was not opened.
Not sure what Regional SIM is?
I am in /usa/oh/cmh (Columbus)
By the way I got a 3.99/month Protection plan too!
First Protection plan I ever bought. But seeing as I could not register it with Samsung I thought I would for a year anyway

regional sim, meaning the device had to be opened and a sim card from the region of which the device was bought had to be inserted prior to use.
How many days did it take for OEM Unlock to show up? Are you on a different rom? Can you provide screenshots for proof before i pull the trigger on it?

I just put in my SIM from the last phone I was using (And I have also used a FreedomPop as the 2nd SIM - along with a SIM from US Mobile)
As far as I know it was always there. But I did have one large update after I received it.
No Root or other mods done to it.
I have not turned it on - no reason to for me right now.

Question Google Locked Galaxy Tab A8

Hello everyone,
A few days ago I was given a sm-x200 at a local tech shop that is google locked. A factory reset was done, but sadly the account is still there and nobody has the original info. I'm very unfamiliar with tablets so I don't know to remove the account. Is there a way to remove this account? I'd hate to throw this tablet away since it's in good condition.

That is an anti-theft lock and the only way to unlock it is to contact Samsung tech support and show "proof of purchase". Back in the Android 6 and 7 days, there were ways to circumvent it, but Google has since made it next to impossible to get around.

I might take the risk since it was a completely free tablet. I'll post if it works once I do it.
