I saw on an Italian forum (androidworld.it) a thread really fun and special.
practically everyone was telling a story divertende spent with a few friends.
this is an example: long ago a friend of mine bought a galaxy ace, did nothing but talk about how it was "powerful" and fast. Once I asked him why he had not bought a galaxy if he said "That ca * ata? do not even have the processor!" a few months after they stole him and took a replacement for galaxy w. One day he told me he did not like, which was slow etc.etc. then, seeing my old modded Vodafone Smart, asked me how I did and so I talked to him a little bit of root, overclock, and more. Two days later comes back with 'I'm w galaxy where he had installed go launcher and a theme to nokia, the beautiful thing is that then I said, "I have labored hours to change the operating system, I put one of my old nokia. While doing transfer system I almost risked twice to break it ... "At that moment I did not know whether to laugh in his face or jump out the nearest window.
Another time a friend of mine came up to me all happy and told me "I bought the smartphone, the new advertising there." However I wanted to spare me tell you that there is no difference between a smartphone and a lg tribe
Oh, and in any case I think the best average users are over 45 and parents (trollface96);

in other words you treat stupid and embarrassing situations that make us entertained.
possibly write real stories and not false and try not to insult anyone.
good stories: D

Ahahahah epic
today i had a stupid moment of myself. i received a HTC M8x(asian variant) to root it for a friend. I did everything and proceeded to flash a custom kernel. when it finished the screen went black. holding power button did nothing and connecting to charger didnt budge it. for 30mins i was panicking and trying to revive it. so i tried turning it on after 30mins so i pressed the power button to see id it does anything.... and it turned on and it was still in recovery. the lock feature from TWRP made a fool of me, thinking that i bricked it lol.

A couple weeks ago I was fixing a cracked screen on my friends phone. I had to drive quite far to get the part and when I had just replaced the screen and started replacing all the other components (the screen is under everything), I managed to pinch a ribbon cable and rip it off. This was only a few hours before I wanted to surprise him with the fixed phone. I ended up going in rush hour traffic to a closer more expensive shop to get another replacement and fixing the phone with only a few minutes before I had to go meet my friend. Overall he was happy I fixed it but I don't think he'll ever know how much trouble it was to do.
Hello gents, and ladies.
Before I got the S5, I started off with the S4. Was really happy switching to Android after owning the iPhone 4S for 3 years. I pretty much got tired of it, even when it was Jailbroken. After I saw the S4, I jumped on it.
Took me a week to get used to the S4. Finally got used to it and rooted the phone. After the 4.4.2 update was released, it started acting up. SIM card was unable to read and after a couple of restarts, it would work again. Then one day, the phone stopped reading the card and was unable to get it working again. I thought I needed a new card, so I had it replaced for free since it also wasn't working. The same night, I went to a drive in, and wanted to check the time on my phone, then find out the screen cracked :/.
So I went back to the AT&T store and picked up the S5. I love how fast the phone is and battery life is unbelievable. I even have it rooted thanks to the person that made it really simple to do. Hopefully one day I can do something productive and help around here. Till then, have a great weekend and a Happy 4th of July.

Enjoy your s5 man. I think we can all say that we love ours.
Glad you're enjoying your s5
There are many other people making the switch as well, which is being discussed in this thread. I'll close this one so you can further discuss with everyone in that thread on the same topic.
Hay guys,
Edited: on 07/07/2016: Problems First; My AT&T Galaxy S6, reboots randomly, dies instantly and some times freezes, doesn't matter what app i am on. The full story is here if interested, please read below;
I bought a used AT&T Galaxy S 6, 64 GB Black sapphire, Now running 6.0.1 (i sideloaded it) and it has a problem which you guys call it deep sleep problem (I call it, dying phone with no reason) when i bought it, it was running 5.1.1 then (probably BOJ7), and the second day i noticed that it was dead, (i remember i was taking some selfies, pictures, i locked it and after more or less 15 or 20 minutes i wanted to take some more pics, i saw it was not waking up). And to my surprise, I have checked it, when i call the number which is in that phone, the call goes and i can listen on my other phone that the bill is ringing but actually my device doesn't ring at all (while dead) (I have also seen once that the notification LED was blinking Blue, yet the phone was off, itself)
So, story short when i saw the device was unexpectedly off i tried to switch it on by the following methods;
i pressed all the button many times but it didn't respond until, i pressed and kept holding recovery boot combination i.e. volume down + volume up + Power buttons and it booted.
Later on it was good, after two days, it did it again.
Now my concern was rising about Galaxy S6's sudden deaths, (I still don't know whether i should call it a deep sleep and awake problem or it is something related to hardware) so, i thought lets find a way and upgrade it to MM. I searched the xda and found this
Updating to Android 6.0.1 G920AUCU3CPD6 Step by Step {http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-galaxy-s6/general/updating-to-android-6-0-1-g920aucu3cpd6-t3371884}
I upgraded my phone and thought it's fine now, but to my surprise, the phone went off while it was in my pocket with almost 70% battery charged. I was shocked, yet started it with the buttons combo, and yesterday when i left it charging while the battery was about 87% charged, I thought let it go to 100% but when i picked it up after 15 minutes and pushed the home button to see the status the phone was dead again with a RED LED light on while the screen was off, when i pressed the home OR power button the screen showed a big green battery with 100 % Charge (which was indicating as i powered it off and kept charging)
Now my question is that " What the hell is going on?"
If it was a rooting problem? Then, I did an odin flash of BOJ7 with all four files AP, CP, CSC and his child. which should have removed the rooting, and to confirm it whether my device is rooted or the KNOX tripped or not, i have checked the knox it is 00000 which means the KNOX is not tripped.
Please help me guys, this was my dream phone, i can't buy a new one with warranty, and i can't loose it or live it with this problem, my days suck.
please help me,
And today I've seen a new thing may be it's the real problem but I really got it today. I was surfing the net and twitter my AT&T Galaxy S6 suddenly went off and I had to force start it.
Hay guys, i need your help, am i missing you all?
Hay guys, Talvigi back,
As far as no body is interested in my post and may be no one has faced such problem before, so, i am back with some updated information;
Day before Last night, I was very much worried about my phone's behaviour, even i was thinking to show it's way out. But when i was a bit asleep yet awaken i thought way not try to factory reset the device from recovery, formate system devlock and cache partitions?
And i did it while i was half asleep and let the device update it's builtin softwares and WOLLA, it's second day my beloved AT&T specific Galaxy S6 hadn't misbehaved yet, (till now, may be it will make me lying just now)
Edit: (Third Day):
Third Day guys its third day and still my phone has not misbehaved after the above mentioned factory reset, and i hope this will continue to work like that.
Edit: Fifth day:
Sorry Sammy boy but you are a sucking OEM, after two good days my AT&T Galaxy S6 is again misbehaving with me, it again deep slept, just after seconds when i was surfing the facebook and i got lock my device for some seconds. As soon as i wanted to unlock it again i saw that the device was once again not waking up hence i had to push both volume and power buttons to start it.
And it did the same thing while it was kept on my table for a couple of hours.
It's now making me crazy to sell it again and go for a galaxy S5, it least i haven't seen this problem, i actually haven't listened this kinda problem in them from any where.
Edit; Now after a lot of days of sudden deaths and instant restarts, it has started to freeze now, I have not seen this before. I mean when I am using facebook it freezes but doesn't restart as far as I have seen it twice with freeze problem. Now I can say that it is indeed a software problem may be we can suggest it to be a kernel related problem.
So is it because I might have used a 32 GB specific ROM on a 64 GB device?
Is there a real difference between 64 GB and 32 GB ROM.
Hell with the AT&T Galaxy S6.

Sorry man, @hyelton: but you are the great hero for me,
You have been so much helpful to me as well as to many others i have seen,
And to tell the truth, i didn't tag you to help me specifically on this problem,
but i knew you will be the only one to notice me in this crap.
And i believe you have read my problem and have at least thought once, about my situation, haven't you?
And i also know you can off course guide me, or lead me a way through.
Please don't be rude, i beg your kind honour to please suggest me a way out there, any way out! :crying::fingers-crossed::crying::fingers-crossed:
Because there are many people in this forum but you can see no one, no one even noticed my problem.
Hello, I was tagged in your threads and received the notification while I was sleeping. First of all my Galaxy S6 was bought by me on May 6 2015 at an Official AT&T Store, the same Store were, nine years ago, I open a contract account for mobile service. Before Android phones I was a Blackberry user. Never root a phone, never side loaded a Google Platform Upgrade, never bought a used phone. The only time I bought a phone outside an Official AT&T Store was when I bought a brand NEW Google Nexus 5 at Amazon and God knows that my former Nexus 5 was the best phone I ever owned. I always owned the top of the line Blackberry, the Bold series. And all my formers Android phones bought at AT&T were Flagships phones at the moment I bought them. OK now, I read all your threads and when you applied a Factory Data Reset you do, in my humble opinion, the right thing . Unfortunately the problem at your phone is beyond a Factory Data Reset. My advise is that you must go to an AT&T Official Store and ask for a new Nano Sim Card. If that's not work go to an Official Samsung Repair Store or Center. If that's not work, then my friend, take out the Nano Sim Card of your Galaxy S6 and bought a NEW Google Nexus 6p directly from Google or Amazon and push the Nano Sim Card in. You are going to have peace on earth running a Google Nexus phone at AT&T. Remember my fried, NEVER AGAIN buy an used phone and by the way don't side loaded Google Platform Upgrade. Just wait for the OTA regarding Platform Upgrade. I'm really sorry for the bad experience with your Galaxy S6.

Thank You sir for such a detailed reply, my bad luck with S6 is that I love it so much but when it comes to your life you will better lose your eyes. I think I will somehow sell it back and will not buy any second hand phone again.

My friend please don't lose your eye and work hard so you can buy a brand new Samsung Flagship, Galaxy S7 or a Note 6. Don't forget, far beyond the Manufacturers Flagships, far beyond your worst nightmare is the Google Nexus Phone .

Well thanks for the suggestion but do you know, I will have to work 8 hours a day for five month and save 50% of that earnings, if I want to buy a brand new Galaxy S7, and for you my dear, that would be not more then 15 days half earning or 8 days full. So, to buy a flagship, in my dreams! Yet I will try to manage on a Huawei X5 or oppo F1

Somebody, help me, please. My system is really unsustainable and doesn't tell me when to stop working and when to restart.
Edit; Now after a lot of days of sudden deaths and instant restarts, it has started to freeze now, I have not seen this before. I mean when I am using facebook it freezes but doesn't restart as far as I have seen it twice with freeze problem.

Well, guys i somehow have been able to maintain my device to keep away from all those misbehavings which it had to do all the time. But i don't want to exaggeratedly lie that they are gone now, they are here, and they also sometimes show there faces but rarely, very rarely indeed. It all could happen after a couple of factory resets and keeping the device away from auto updates mostly from googleplaystore.
Well I have ODIN back and now i'm back on 5.1.1 BOJ7. And surprisingly the reboots are still here, I think, will have to kill my wish of being on Galaxy S6 for some more months and I will have to go back to the market and buy a LG G4 or Galaxy S5 may be?
People say their experience with Marshmallow has not been good but i would mine was the worst with S 6.
I think this device has a factory fault, but as far as i have bought it in used condition and the device is an AT&T device, that too out of the US, so samsung would surely won't help me, neither i have any warranty here.
I hat you Samsung/AT&T for making such a piece of crap.
Any body in this world has the same kind of problem with the Galaxy S6 AT&T 64 GB, or I am alone?
