It points me to install the stable browser. Thanks

Does anyone have this issue? Checking for updates works OK on data, but on Wi-Fi it gets stuck at "connecting to server". Thanks!

Any idea if they change/tune stuff like modem for better signal or they just add bloatware to the unlocked firmware?

Or should I stick to the wall charger?

Hi guys, I just got my Galaxy Tab S4, and I'm trying to see if it's officially supported by the Samsung Service. Unfortunately I got only the serial number on the box and not the IMEI. Is there any way I can find it? It's a Galaxy Tab S4 T830 (Wi-Fi only). I also don't have the dialer app...

In terms of performance or signal? Let's say I'm on T-Mobile and I flash a T-Mobile firmware. Will I get better signal than being on the unlocked one?

Anybody has any issues with this?

Does anyone know how can I make Samsung Pay work? I got DBT firmware with ROM CSC. The app is not available on my phone. I tried to download it, but when it starts, it checks for update and then says it can't update. Thanks!

So I booted in recovery mod and had this image on the display for almost a second and then disappeared. It happens every time I enter in recovery mode. Any idea what's up with this?

Hi, I'm looking to buy a good glass screen protector for my girlflriend's S9, and most of the "viral" one like Whitestone or others have not so good reviews on sites like Amazon. Can anyone recommend me a good one, that doesn't pop out after a while and has no issues with touch sensitivity...

So for almost a week it seems that my Wi-Fi connection to 2 different routers and one SIM hub (home, my home in a different city and my girflriend's place) is getting really slow (like 100KBps), while the laptop is connected to the same points and gets speeds of 5-10MBps. Also, when I was...

So I got my girflriend a S9 and she claims that the camera is slower than the S7 (both front/rear). Any other opinions on this? Last Sammy phone I owned was S2.

Is this thing worth it? (Powered by McAfee) Taking into consideration the integration with the Samsung Ecosystem. Or do you stick to already known providers like NordVPN?

So, as most of you already got the idea, I want to buy a SD card. But I don't understand the difference between EVO+ and PRO+ and, the new one, Pro Endurance. It seems that the 128/256GB version of PRO+ is out of stock and Pro Endurance offers 128GB version, but it's weaker than PRO+. If I'm...

So is the "Always sleeping apps" option from Device Maintenance -> Battery working? I added all my apps there just for a test and it seems I can still get notifications from them. What is the use of this option?

Hi, This question just crossed my mind a couple of hours ago. Since Kies is more or less deprecated and Smart Switch has the option for reflashing firmware removed (due to a lot of region changing). This leaving us with Odin, the only way to flash stock ROMs. I've had some discussions with...

This build was released today, July 18th, in India. The OTA size is around 250MB. Links for the firmware release can be found here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s9/SM-G960F/INS/download/G960FXXU2BRG6/225558/ The build features security patches + fixes related to AR Emoji and...

So basically I did this by mistake (wanted to remove Google Play Store from desktop page, but accidentally disabled it). Does it affect in any way the caching of info or the normal flow of the processes? I enabled it afterwards and cleaned cache/data for it and Play Services. Apart from this...

I'm bringing this here after seeing all the struggles everyone had with the batter. Basically what everyone can do is message their local Samsung provider. I just sent e-mails to both CEO and Technical department. More info here...

So I've been checking Xperifirm for firmwares related to my home country and couldn't find it. Could anyone give me a hand with this?

So I've been thinking about this for some time. What is the use of using the location without mobile data/wi-fi?

This build was first released on May 22nd, in Germany, since then being released in many other countries. The OTA size is around 400MB. Links for the firmware release can be found here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/SM-G960F/DBT/download/G960FXXU1BRE5/219360/ The build features security...

So, even if my country is in the EU, both Samsung AND the phone shop refuse to keep the S9 under warranty, if I change the software (meaning root, bootloader unlock, flash kernel, recovery, etc). So what are my chances of making the most out of this phone? Battery life is terrible, but I don't...

Can anyone enlighten me on this one? Seems one of the most useless things that could be on the phone (along with the ram/memory cleaners and antiviruses, which basically is the Device Maintenance tool). Thanks!

I''m pretty late with this one, the build was first released on April 29th, in Spain, since then being released in many other countries. I didn't post about it because I didn't have any info on the update. The OTA size is 112MB. Links for the firmware release can be found here...

Has anyone got info about these? I kept benchmarking the phone yesterday on all these modes and got different values every time.

I'm keeping it at half from 19 to 7. Basic screen mode

It seems a new build has been pushed to Germany, on April the 17th. Other unlocked phones should follow in the next days. The OTA update size is a little over 60MB. https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/SM-G960F/DBT/download/G960FXXS1ARD1/215642/ Only security patches this time around...

How do you guys do it? I keep seeing new versions being posted on APK mirror and the Galaxy Apps being lazy.

Can someone give me some feedback related to BATTERY LIFE in terms of wired vs wireless charging (fast charging disabled)? I already know that fast charging CAN reduce battery life. Do we have any info on wireless charging? Since it's an inductive charging, some part of it's energy it's...

Under the Device Maintenance section there is the "storage" optimization option. Since when is cleaning cache often a good thing? Apps build cache to function snappier. I also tend to believe that building cache consumes more battery since it's an operation as well.

I think the question is self-explanatory. I applied tempered glass on the back on the phone. Is it a problem for wireless charging?

Is anyone here updating the individual apps from apk mirror? (an example) Or do you just stick with the ones that are provided by the updates? I tried to update them a while ago and after a reboot (20 days or so), the phone wasn't able to start properly and was kind of a bootloop (except it...

Hi guys, I just purchased the S9 and I was supposed to get it Friday. Due to me working remote, I will get it tomorrow. From my documentation period, I get that the phone has an amazing camera. I tried to stay away from Samsung, even though the camera was top notch due to KNOX and lack of...

Hi, guys, I'm coming from an Xperia Z3C, which had a camera that was pretty bad. Even though some bash the XZ1C camera, it's a lot better than what I used. I'm no photographer and I dont' know the apps, so I'd like everyone to share what they know and use. :)

Hi, My girlfriend has some issues with her W10 PC. She's on the normal builds (not Insider), latest updates. The PC is able to read other USB sticks, so the ports are not broken. The phone is identified by the PC, but it only works as a charger. When the state is changed to MTP, nothing...

How do you guys charge your phone? Do you respect the old 40-80 rule? How does battery care play in? Just got the phone and don't want to screw up it's battery. Thanks!

According to XPERIAblog, now we're able to use Flashtool for our device. Source: http://www.xperiablog.net/2018/01/16/flashtool-updated-to-support-xperia-xz-premium-and-xz1-devices-0-9-24-2/

Anyone had issues with the phone charger? My girlfriend is using an S7 and she has a lot of problems with the charger. Phone is not rooted or any custom ROM. Just stock. I replaced the chargers twice until now. The first one took almost a year to break. This one took like 6 months or so.. Has...

Hi! I know the camera is a bit problematic on the Z3C, but I was wondering if anyone has any hints regarding how can you take better pictures using manual mode and in what conditions. I'm using the stock camera. Thanks!

Is the longtime support of the X Compact tied to the support of the X/XA/X Performance or the XZ? It would be pretty dull to get the phone in November and get only one year and a half ot support.

So, we all know this very popular thread made by androidexpert35 :http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony-themes-apps/mod-xperia-z5-premium-camera-libs-files-t3260819 Unfortunately no one managed to port the MM libs from the Z5P because everyone was busy with the latest X/XZ...

Hi, I'm an owner of the Sony Xperia Z3C. We all know that even if Sony is the most dev-friendly community, it still has a lot of problems building AOSP/CM ROMs, mainly due to their camera processing algorithm and the DRM partition. This being said, it means that CM/AOSP is not good for a daily...

So I'm coming from a Sony Z3C and due to the lack of support (no Nougat for us) and development (no proper CM for us) I'm thinking moving to another device. I'm taking into consideration Sony XZ/X as well as the S7, but none of them have development going on due to various reasons. So no...

I already made this thread in the Z5C section and heard the reviews from there, now I'm willing to listen to the users of the XC. I'm a user of a Z3C (had a Z1C before that). Now that Nougat isn't available anymore for our phone, I was wondering if I should buy a Z5C or a XC. I'm not a stock...

Hello, friends. I'm a user of a Z3C (had a Z1C before that). Now that Nougat isn't available anymore for our phone, I was wondering if I should buy a Z5C or a XC. I'm not a stock user. I use a lot of mods and custom stuff on my phone. Stock isn't for me. I know that Z5C is more powerful and...

So I heard that bacon (OnePlus One) got the camera working on custom ROMs by reverse engineering the camera blobs. I tried reading online, but I didn't have a proper link for this matter. So the problem is the following, I'm owning the Sony Xperia Z3 Compact (codename "aries"), which stopped...
