    Thread Mobile network crash on B336

    So to my great irritation, I recently discovered that the mobile network crash bug that had been fixed in B383 is back in B386. For anyone wondering, I'm talking about the bug where opening "Mobile network" in settings causes phone services to crash and reset. I'm still not sure what causes it...

    Thread C432B383 update

    For all those who noticed B383 in firmware updater if you flash the two separate files it is indeed a worthwhile update unzip entire contents to SD card and rename them to DLOAD, starting with the update.zip first (and in both cases making sure you the top folder you call DLOAD is the one with...

    Thread Network bug on Nougat

    So I have now, for the second time experienced this same bug. On a restart (just a normal one — not necessarily because the phone wasn't responding) the status bar completely resets to default: network name is shown, time switches to 12-hour clock etc. However as in the image, the network type...

    Thread B378 rollout

    Just FYI, I just got B378 pushed on System Update (was on C432B361 before), if anyone else wants to check for updates. Not sure what changes there are yet, changelog was same as B361, so presumably bug fixes from B360/1

    Thread B361 bugs

    Since its now officially rolling out, I was wondering what other bugs people have spotted in B361 (and if known, any ways to fix/get around them). For me so far I've notice Android Pay -- Android Pay no longer works as its supposed to. It no longer works from any screen, and only works when...

    Thread Device Policy on B360

    So I just updated to B360 last Thursday, and so far no major issues. However one which is particularly annoying, is that of Device Policy. One of my Google Apps accounts I need for work enforces device policy, and it keeps prompting me that it requires that the device be encrypted, and require...

    Thread [Q] LTE bands on H815

    So I see the H815 actually supports way more LTE bands than LG (or at least LG Europe) advertises. I was wondering if someone could confirm, does the phone absolutely have to be modded to enable them? Specifically bands 1(2100), 2(1900), 3(1800), 4(1700/2100), 5(850), 7(2600), 8(900), 17(700)...

    Thread Cross flashing?

    Just wondering, can the TF701 be crossflashed to a different region's official software without unlocking the bootloader? I'm thinking of getting it but I'm in China, and unless I want to risk a "new" imported one, I'm stuck with a Google-free Chinese one. Anyone know about this?

    Thread Flashing Chinese version

    I know that Samsung phones in China are usually unable to flash international ROMs even official ones with the same model number, so I was wondering if anyone knows if the same is true for tablets (WiFi only)? I'm guessing no one yet knows for the Note 2014 specifically since the Chinese...

    Thread "3rd Quarter"

    Anyone else puzzled by this release date? 3rd quarter ends at the end of September, and it really doesn't look like Samsung are going to make that. But they would have known that when they announced it too, so anyone any clue what a quarter is to Samsung?

    Thread AV sync on hardware decoding

    Does anyone else experience AV sync issues with H.264 files on hardware decoding? I don't remember noticing this in earlier versions (I'm on LJ4) but I'm not certain that it wasn't just by chance. Whether using stock or a third-party player, if hardware decoding is enabled, the AV becomes...

    Thread LFB network bug

    I've recently noticed a weird network bug on LFB. If the phone loses signal (on subway etc.) with data on, when signal is available it acts as though the SIM was refused by the network continuing to display Emergency calls only. If I turn data on and off it gets weirder (see screenshot). The...

    Thread Music square

    Does anyone know if there is more extensive documentation on Music Square, or what application its based on?

    Thread Android welcome screen bug

    I've just had the weirdest bug experience ever. Or at least it was to me. Maybe its a known bug, but I can't find any references to it anywhere. (I don't really know what to search for to see if others have mentioned it or not) I was trying to get back to the home screen, so pushed back...

    Thread Proximity sensor light

    Just noticed today, in darkness the proximity sensor is visible as a faint, but distinct, red light on the phone when its active. Anyone else noticed this? Maybe mine has a faulty sensor. If you activate the sensor, by making a call in darkness (or opening a text message, if you have direct...

    Thread [Q] Music Square and M4A

    Does anyone have Music Square working with M4As? All my music is on a 64GB extFAT SD card, and it has no problem recognising it... except the music that is in M4A. Music square just ignores it, even though its listed in music player, and all plays fine.

    I'm sure this must have been asked before, but try as I might I can't find a conclusive answer here or on Google, so sorry in advance if its posted elsewhere. I really have tried. I just updated my phone to ICS, and now the media scanner's album art cache is way lower resolution/quality than...

    Thread [Q] Barometer?

    Can someone explain what the barometer does? I know what a barometer does, but what is its intended function for the S3? Some people say its for GPS in other devices, however I haven't seen Samsung confirm anywhere what its intended purpose is.

    Thread [Q] Disable data prompt

    Sorry if its been asked before, but is there any way to disable those extremely irritating confirmation prompts every time you turn on data?

    Thread [Q] UMTS disconnecting

    Hey I noticed that whenever I have the phone on for a while, it randomly disconnects from UMTS and then will only connect to GSM. Even if I force it by selecting "WCDMA only" and then doing a network search, it then finds no networks at all instead of the four that it should. The only way to get...
