hi there, So my edge light notifications work but not with Signal, that is what i want. in detail. When the screen is on, i can see notifications, when it's OFF and you get a message they do not show but it does vibrate, i tried every single option possible on the phone. (maybe it depends...

anybody can help with this? thanks

and here's a real world example. sent an email from my outlook account, first one came immediately - great, then sent a second one and didn't show up. it's already 10 minutes past that. and here's how the sync section looks like https://www.dropbox.com/s/vk17t8ok53zqzss/Gmail-sync.png?dl=0

hi there, I am in roaming and i have a choice of 3-4 networks in the new country i am in right now. They all have the 4G+ option which is good however i noticed that with a few, when i am in a call, i can also browse, dropping the network to H+ while some others during a call, just show 3G but...

How to find associated app downloads that have residual pieces under "Downloads" hi there, asking some expert dev his opinion on this..... I noticed that i have some files listed in my Downloads of my Galaxy S8 which came from an app (PDFs and one downloadfile.bin) which are impossible to...

hi guys, the other day i got a notification that there's a new update dated June 2020 for my S8, i haven't installed it yet, mentions something about messages and security. BUT does it sneak in additional covid frameworks or something like that? i currently blocked the C word framework and...

but will it stay this way???

Absolutely ,i have 2 x S8 and on my wife's phone same thing happened. tempting to roll back to Nokia! do you have those blobs?

hmhm that is in my google account settings, it popped up without asking anything

i have just done all steps on https://support.google.com/mail/forum/AAAAK7un8RUWVh3ALxBeb0/?hl=en&gpf=%23!topic%2Fgmail%2FWVh3ALxBeb0 and it syncs once then takes again ages and is stuck.

hello there, my gmail sync is really slow, as in 2 hours, did you ever found a solution since posting this? thank you

hi guys, I am having a nasty problem with Gmail's sync. oftentimes it happens that it takes a long time to get the email notifications on my s8, if i force on and off sync emails will come right away, and even then it seems is doing ONE round of syncs fine, however most of the time it does not...

Hi there, i keep my S8 in flight mode during the night, with a optimisation (not restart) scheduled at 04am every day. Sometimes when i turn off airplane mode in the morning, i see the torch button pressed and blue but no torch on. Doesnt matter if i use torch or not before going to bed and is...

Hi guys This seems a common problem. We have two s8's mine on 100% full charge would show 14h of potential battery time. My wife - same phone - shows 1 full day so 24 hours approx.... i have some more stuff installed than her but seems quite low numbers to me. The phone in new and i had like...

Does anyone know? Also a decent keyboard that vibrates on keypress?? Thanks

Yessss that was it... is that exposed still available these days? For a6??? Thanks

I mean the actual time when the msg was actually "sent" by the sender, not received by your phone. i.e. your phone is on flight mode in the morning, I get up late, turn it on I get a message, displayed time says 09.30 BUT the person physically sent it at 07.30. I managed to make a mod on my S5...

hi guys, how can I show on the little info box of an SMS the time the message was actual sent and not when the phone received it? I did that on my S5 some years ago and that was a recompilining of the SMS.apk if I am not wrong... is it still doable on the A6? there's a bunch of apps like...

also all of a sudden my wifi symbol at home had the ! as if something was wrong, i had to manually input some DNS from OpenDNS in connection settings, really odd, connection works fine and the S5 i have at home didnt have that problem, really odd this A6.......

i have this phone since almost a week and here's my review: Good phone, solid and at a good price, neat camera performance and fast, good quality videos. Battery lasts 1-2 days depending on usage. On the neg points: missing status LED which i found useful on my S5 and performance of wifi is not...

Here is the mistery solved: The s5 has also "ac" wireless mode enabled whereas the a6 Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n. Ac gives the extra speed.. samsung support confirmed that.

think i found the problem, it's doenst support AC wireless s5 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac a6 802.11 a, b, g, n s8 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac so i guess there's nothing i can do about it ;(

OK i have both phone now here: s5 link speed 866 mbps which is the same my Asus PC (fairly new) connects at a6 link speed 150 mbps what gives???? can i change this somehow? it's not great.. thanks,!

hello everyone, as per my thread here https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-a6/help/wifi-speed-100-mbps-t3852580 how can i get the phone to dowload more thna 100 mpbs? i just tested on speedtest app with my old Galaxy S5 about 177 mbps, close to 180 mbps. The only difference is that the S5...

Really like s8?. My old galaxy s5 would peak T 180 mbps or whatever here can do... So isnt a tweak or something? Thanks

Hi guys So i noticed that when i am on TIM italy... And i am in roaming from o2uk, well after i either do a phone call or i receive one the phone goes to emergency calls only for like a minute or so which is a bit odd. Called o2 they just said fo change network im roaming on.. My wifes samsung...

hi guys, I have seen this occurring quite often with a new SD card that i purchased like 2 months ago for my S5, the card is Samsung 64 GB Evo MicroSDXC UHS-I Grade 1 Class 10 Memory Card, amazon link https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00J29FF4G. Even if i slowly browse with the gallery...

any ideas? the phone is in roaming with the little "R" at the moment...not sure it makes a difference.. thanks

On one of our S5 phones in the updates page the "wifi only" option is missing.... how to make it appear? thanks

hi, This has been going on forever on 5.0 - does anyone know why the battery page shows the WIFI as active even though it's disconnected? Tends to happen if you forget the wifi on then lose connection to that particular network and then turn it off... it will still show as active with the bar...

hi, Since few weeks i have installed a new SD card, http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-MicroSDXC-UHS-I-Memory-Adapter/dp/B00J29FF4G?ie=UTF8&psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00 which so far did the job, but something strange and annoying has been happening. Even though i scroll to...

hi again, so i have done more testing, it seems really strange.... the gallery app doesnt want to cache more than 50-60mb of stuff, on my wifeàs phone that is another S5 with a different Sd card, it caches 200MB without any issue and all thumbs are loaded fine after the first "slow load", could...

Seems i managed to find the "way out" - i restored yet again the same backup but before restarting phone after restoring, i did a "fix permission + wipe cache + wipe dalvik cache" - That seems to have worked! phewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww that should be it right?????

hi guys, so i was trying to clear the phone's cache for some gallery cache problems... anyway long story short from the recovery menu of TWRP (the external one) i chose "wipe" by mistake and that included data+dalvik+cache and the phone reverted back to original settings which sucks. Now i...

So if i do the same thing and clear cache, it will be really slow.. then i do as you say and slowly scroll down the gallery until i see all thumbs, first time going slow and consequent times are faster, but not all thumbs are instantly there which makes me think cache is disabled or something...

Any ideas? Or maybe that is normal?

thanks for this too!

amazing, i installed Xposed earlier this week and it's an amazing piece of software! thanks, will check it out!

hi there, There's a few interesting banking apps out there, but it seems as though most of them will detect IF your device is rooted and in such case, the app will not run. Is there a workaround to run these app on a rooted device? They might think you are a criminal if you have a rooted phone...

hi there, I have just installed a new SD card the other day and i noticed that every time i access the "gallery" app, then not all thumbnails are loaded by default... it's still extremely fast but it seems is not caching EVERYTHING... does it take some time for that to cache everything? I went...
