Hey, congrats to all that are involved in making this sh!t a reality. Very, very impressive! The dev's for this phone and the Exhilarate are amazing!

Nicely done!

When talking to people on the phone they are getting an echo. This is on a clean install of CM11. I have tried both the uvmb1 and uvmc6 radios. Any suggestions?

Do you have "Noise Suppression" box checked in Call Settings? If it is, uncheck the box and use the T989UVMC6 radio.

Hey everyone, First off i just want to say thank you to the developers that did this, its pretty awesome. Anyways I realize that it has some bugs, but I seem to be having one that other people don't. My WiFi doesn't work, I click on it and the "on/off" selector is kind of faded out compared to the working bluetooth selector and it is in the off position and won't move, when I click on the Wifi part it goes to a screen were I can't press anything accept the icon on the bottom right side with 3 little squares and that isn't any help, the screen just says "turning Wi-Fi on..." and it has been like that since i installed this last night. I have turned the phone off a couple of times and nothing. Other than that i really like this OS! I just am burning up my datat plan without having my wifi on. Thanks a lot!

Have you tried 2.4GHz? What is the frequency that your router has? 2.4GHz or 5GHz Press on the 3 dots and then select 2.4GHz and making sure select the region that you are in.

I selected 2.4 GHz and it still isn't working. It automatically changes it back to "auto". Where do i go to change the region?

Kitkat ROM for this phone is still in Alpha stage. I recommend that you try to use Jellybean ROM's for now. They are in the Development.

He meant are you on Carbon 4.4 or cm11? Either way I've not had this issue. Make sure you're following the proper steps before flashing.

I rooted my phone, then I went onto the page that had the 4.4 ROM installation on it, I downloaded that Recovery onto the external SD card and the 4.4 ROM onto the card, i then cleared the files, cache partition, and the devik (sp?) cache. Then from the recovery/boot screen i "installed from zip" the ROM off of my external SD card, then i installed gapps and that was the end of it. Do i have to run recovery after i download the ROM, then reboot?

I reflashed it and it fixed the problem. Thank you so much guys, this is like a brand new phone!

Glad your back up and running..:good:
and for future reference..When coming up from previous version:
Flash newest recovery for version
Reboot into newest recovery
Wipe 3 big 3 (system,cache and dalvic)..sometimes a good format of system is good as well..
Flash Rom
Flash Gapps
Reboot
$$Profit$$
Again, Just so ya have an idea of the order of things..

How's everybody liking kit Kat? Any bugs to report? Any questions, comments or concerns?

[Q] The phone is making sounds....

So I have my N5 for a couple months now, running stock ROM with stock launcher, rooted with Xposed tho.
Today while sitting around with some friends it made a sound I never heard before, sounds like some kind of notification but no notification was found... I open the lock screen and there's nothing. Then, while I holding it and looking at it the sound beeped again... My friends thought I was an idiot but then it happened again!
3 times in about 2 minutes and I have no idea what it was, there was no indication of anything on screen or in the notification area and I never heard that notification sound before...
Is there any way to find out what that was? Or any place that shows exactly which notification sounds are configured? Cause this is having me worried...
It's been a couple of hours since then and it hasn't happened again.

It was me, I was trying to contact you...

I had this also before while using a rooted S3. I can hear a faint sound but no notification, although at one point I did notice a toast notification fading. So assumed it was one of the apps I installed that requires root (probably greenify at that time) that is kicking in and that supersu was giving the toast notification.
maybe change the notification method on the supersu you are using or check the logs
I haven't encountered this on my Nexus as I'm not rooted

My wife's GNex was doing this a while back. It drove me CRAZY! I figured maybe it was an app that she installed, but she claimed she didn't install any new apps. So then I thought maybe it had something to do with the phone even though it was completely stock. Then, when she got a G2,she installed all her apps, and it made that same sound AGAIN! I took her phone and tried to figure it out.
Long story short, it was her Yahoo email app. In the settings, it was set to not show notifications in the statusbar. However, it was still set to make a notification sound. I don't know who would make an app that would allow you to hide the notification, but still PLAY THE DANG NOTIFICATION SOUND! Anyways, it sounds like you may have an app installed that behaves the same way?

This would make sense but I didn't install anything lately and am generally very very aware of anything I put on my phone and after that I greenify almost everything...
The only thing I found possible is that I seem to have forgotten to greenify Zedge and when I checked processes last night it had a service running. Maybe that was it? I greenified it after that of course.
Anyone know of a notification sound Zedge makes? I found nothing in settings.

Maybe it was a NFC chip close to some readable tags (like credit cards with tap to pay possibilities)? Check how it sounds...it can be it ...

Stepback! We got a winner!
After you said that I remembered that the phone was sitting on my wallet at the time, tried it again and there's that sound again. So now I know what it is generally but why does it beep? Simply to let me know that there's a NFC card around? Does it read it? Kinda uncool that it reads my credit card when I didn't ask it too...

Yep, it reads it, but only some common data, nothing to worry about . You can check what it reads by installing some NFC app like NFC tools.

Do you have fb messenger installed? For me, it does the ghost notifications. I chat on fb on pc, then I stop. About 1-2 hours later my phone get ghost notifications.
I chat again on fb on pc, then i stop chating on fb. Start using my phone after I stopped chatting on fb on pc. After 10-20 mins I get the notifactions for incoming messages on fb chat on phone even after I replied to them and seen all of them on pc. These notifications disappiers as soon as the notification sound goes off

I turned off NFC now as I don't use it at all and I see no reason why it should be running. I guess we always have something new to learn about these phones huh?

was it this sound: (youtube.com/watch?v=wrKujB1JACk) ?
This was also driving me crazy for a few months, also slowing my phone down and heating the battery to around 40c! i guess there was something bad on my nfc cards...

Review of the official Good Lock App

Hi Ram again with another review this time for the official Good Lock App for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. I would love to get your feedback and comments, click the link below
Mod Edit
Thanks for your time and bye for now.

I tried it and had even more battery drain than I already do with Android System. Android System was #1, System UI was #2. I usually have 3-5 hours of screen time (with a charge half way through the day), so there's no reason anything should be above Screen in the battery usage list.

Is anyone else noticing more battery drain?

I also didn't notice any slow down. Only thing that bothers me a lot is that eveytime I reboot or I try to make some changes the App uninstall himself. Everything else looks really nice.

I believe the uninstall bug was addressed and fixed in the newest update. I just glanced over the patch notes so not 100% sure.

Not to mentioned the very strange multitasking menu that makes the experience intolerable. I'm hoping they just give people the stock Android notification shade independent of the app.

Oh yes, there is plenty of UI slowdown and almost a 1% per minute battery drain, in addition to the side-effect of turning my phone into a fine pocket warmer.
The app itself is a good alternative. But there are some serious issues that may be addressed by fixing memory leaks and clearing some cache data. But I am un-rooted and plan on staying that way for a bit

Something's wrong with your phone. I have nothing like that. Neither do the many other users of this app. SystemUI has used 2% of my battery over the last 3 days.

Why with this enabled, when I press power button off then back on, screen doesn't lock. Does it only engage after x amount of time? I just have default set.

Please WRITE them about the performance and battery issues. I already did. They listen to our feedback. Without those issues I'd use Good Lock as default.

If you have it set to lock immediately through your lockscreen settings, not through GoodLock (GL does not have any options for this that I have seen) it should lock as soon as the screen is turned off. By default, mine was set up for 5 minutes (I think) but I keep mine set to 1 minute of inactivity.

Awesome that was the settings I was looking for.

Go into settings and select wallpaper. In the upper left corner you should be able to choose home screen or lock screen.

Quick Update for folks that are having the massive Battery Drain issue:
I took some advice from another thread that suggested actually creating a routine for Everywhere vs just using the Default profile. Apparently there is something wonky in the Default Routine that causes it to attempt to pinpoint your location repeatedly. (wakelock) This in turn make the GPS and location service run constantly. After creating a Routine and basically setting it up with EVERYWHERE as the location, I have had some different results.
1. The phone is still running warm, definitely not hot as before. I could heat my coffee with it.
2. The battery drain is definitely still there, but not as severe.
I have been sending feedback over the past few days. We will see if Sammy will make any changes in the future.
I am also curious to see other finding from other users.

No. But if you are, I would blame your problems on something you've done with your rooted phone, not Goodlock. The app works fine for almost everyone. It's your experience that's abnormal, not mine.

Night Clock not woking after latest update

I have note edge n downloaded n installed the latest update thru sprint. After the update my night clock doesnt come on. I have tried turing it on n off.
I do have the Samsung smart case but that didnt matter before.
Turned off the style clock for flip wallet thinking that might help but nothing

Yea, this is a big deal to me. Same issue. I can get it to come on if you lay it down, swipe the edge to show info, once it stops scrolling the night clock will engage, looks like they added weather back in, which is nice. However, once engaged, it's upside down. So I flipped and turned the phone, which caused it to rotate 180 like it's supposed to be, but it wont stay that way. And then once you flipped it and wake the phone, that super dimness of the night clock is carried over to the entire phone and the only fix I have found is reboot.
This is not cool. One of my fav features of this phone is the night clock. Without that... I don't want it.
Another issue since the update, I use he fingerprint scanner to unlock... after a reboot you are forced to use your password, which is fine. But now, I am prompted with that "must use password after reboot" screen every couple unlocks WITHOUT any reboots.
I was already getting annoyed with this phone before the update (screen would lock while typing and general sluggishness at times) and was excited to see the OTA update for Marshmallow come across.... hoping it would fix some things.
That said, I'd rather be in the boat I was with Lollipop than lose my nightclock and be forced to use password for no reason. Ugh.

Oh and it constantly prompts me for "SD Card: For transferring photos and media". Thanks Note Edge... but I KNOW WHAT THE SD CARD IS FOR.

My wife's Sprint Galaxy Note Edge has the same problem where the Night Clock feature seemed to stop working after the Marshmallow update.
However, I figured out a workaround for this. The post-Marshmallow-update Night Clock feature does work IF you use the 24-hour format for your time. You can toggle between 24-hour and 12-hour format in Settings > Date & Time.
I contacted Samsung's Live Chat support to report the issue and the workaround and was told that the information would get passed along to the appropriate department. I'm not sure if anything will get done about this, so keep your fingers crossed.
In the meantime, I will keep checking her phone to see if anything else can make Night Clock work when 12-hour format is in use.

changing the time format to 24hrs does work right away. you do have to touch the edge screen to be able to see the temp. since the regular night clock still only has time and alarm info.

Edge clock ~ galaxy note edge
Yes after the recent Marshmallow update, the Edge Clock on the Galaxy Note edge had stopped working. However, in a recent software update, a few days ago, the night clock has started working ~ as usual in the 12 hour format.

I just found out that the night clock won't work as long as your alarm clock is set. Turn off your alarm clock and the night clock will appear. I had to download a 3rd party alarm clock last night that wouldn't activate the built in alarm clock, and it worked for me.

Than you so much for the tip. Switching to 24 hr time format really works in showing the night clock. For now it's better than nothing. Thanks again.

You seem to be right about this one. I was using the 24 hr time trick but I don't like reading time like that so it was kinda Hassel. I soon as I turned off timely (3rd party clock app) the night clock started working immediately

I have found that using my alarm clock app is causing the night clock not to come on. If I turn off the alarm clock then comes back. This is very irritating as most people who use night clock also use the alarm. I have also spoke with Samsung chat and got the same results. They are sending it to the appropriate department...... I'm not going to hold my breath.......

Sprint rolled out an update (which I got yesterday) and it appears that the Night Clock issue has been fixed ....

Hello all, I received 6.0 update for my note edge few days back but i haven't installed the update as the reviews say that its a bad update & the phone gets a lot of bugs after updating to 6.0 marshmallow. My note edge is N915G model.
Can u plz tell me how is yr note edge working after updating to 6.0?
Has the night clock issue been resolved?
Hows the battery life?
And how many more updates did u receive after the original 6.0 update?
Any other issues u r facing?
Kindly answer all my questions. Really need an honest opinion. Thanks

The only thing that worked for me was to turn the clock off then let the phone screen go to sleep on its own.

Bixby no longer functioning after Oreo update?

After flashing Oreo into my S8+ (SM-G955FD) Via Odin, I've noticed that my Bixby wake-up command has completely killed itself, I've also received the new update that was rolled out a day or two ago, which is what I was waiting for before posting regarding it here; I know that many do not really care about Bixby but it happened to be quite useful to me, especially because I have to set Google Assistant as my "Default Assistant App" in order for its voice commands to work unlike Bixby but that's for my own personal preference, so I've tried to clear data on every Bixby applications and re-doing all of the voice training, it didn't do the job however there is something I've noticed when I attempt to get Bixby by voice command, in the notification tray there is a notification of Bixby indicating that it's supposedly waking up (Screenshot is included.)

Whoops.
Seems like I cannot post images yet, but It's practically the new Oreo functionability which shows any applications that "display over screen".

Bumppp

SO DONE.
I guess nobody really cares about this but I am as desperate as ever but I guess I'll have to go on without Bixby until they give another update which I don't know how long it might take, I've talked to several Samsung support agents and all I've got from them is stupid normie solutions that'll make you question how they got the job for that position, the "turning it off and on" meme is real and so annoying because they do not understand and will not even try to understand the issue and go on with their automated solutions that probably only help old white people trying to understand technology and apparently the support fails to tell them apart, I am absolutely livid after this horrible experience with Samsung, after hours of trying to make them understand, one understood and understood it so much that he realized he cannot help me at all and said that this is so technical that I'll have to either wait for an update which may or may not fix this or literally throw away my phone aka go get it replaced under warranty which is totally absurd.

I have the same problem, bixby just wont wake up, the icon pops on notification bar then disappears. Still cant find a solution
Edit: wirdly enough i just called it and it responded everything is working well, i dont know if its because of the CRB7 update. It just worked on its own

I have done enough research on my own phone and the only moment Bixby voice has worked for me is when I reboot and keep saying "Hi Bixby" and it will suddenly work for at least 5-10minutes depending on what triggers it to not work, and I can't seem to figure what does that, because this has to do with some other software interrupting Bixby to show over screen because it's obviously reacting to you when you say Hi Bixby in the notification bar, so please let me know if it's working fine for you now regardless?
Update : Bixby Voice just received a new update 1.0.19.10, and yet it has not fixed the issue for me and I have also realized that Bixby works perfectly when in Safe mode so it could be a third-party app interfering as well.

I have fixed as it seems so far.. I started to uninstall unwanted apps to any suspicious apps, and I do not know which one but if you have any shady apps such as WPS testing app or anything related to such uninstall, anyways here is what I did; SafeMode>Settings>Device Assistant > Select none > then boot into normal > wait for Bixby to work > go into device assistant> pick Google back as assistant. That's all I did.

Okay, I was wrong after almost 24hours of using my phone with Bixby working it has suddenly again stopped working after I updated some apps on the PlaysStore, this issue seems very complex with no logic behind it, it's quite annoying..

Hi .. i have the same pb with my note 8 .. it had appeared after installed the android 8

Lets switch S8's

I honestly think your in a better situation than most.
I do not know of any one who likes BIXBY.

I do like bixby.
I'm don't seem to have any real problems with bixby on Oreo. I problem I have is try to create quick commands.
If I say "Hi Bixby" it will open,
Then I can say Open "xda" and it will open.
Now say I want to go to the subscribed threads in the app.
with the app opened, I say "Hi Bixby" go to subscribed threads. It will not do it, but with the app opened I can press the bixby key and say subscribed threads and it will go to the threads. why?

Question, did you flash all the files included in the update?
Reson i asked is because i had the same issue, i got in touch with samsung, but after getting into my phone and not fixing the issue, i remembered i had omited one of the files in the update, (i think i missunderstood a post or something), i reflashed ALL the files in the update, aparently it did not work, but then i went into apps 3 dots show system apps, from the list of apps i located ALL the Bixby apps i counted 6, got into Storage and cleared the data from all 6, i restarted, bixby and it worked.

No clue I disabled it

I finally received the Sprint Oreo update I'm having the same problem so it's probably not a problem with you flashing it. I usually use a combination of Bixby and Google Assistant.
Edit: If you wipe cache partition, it will work again but then stop.

I have the same exact problem
