Like everyone else I had the headphone issue, where sound would play through both the headphones and the speakers on the A100 unless plugged in at a certain time. I got sick of waiting for the 3.2.1 update to become available to me, so I manually updated to Acer_A100_1.014.08_COM_GEN1 (British region apparently) and did an OTA update to the next 2 available updates. Now my headphones aren't recognised at all.
Is this due to some sort of regional hardware difference (Australian A100)? Have I probably accidentally caused some sort of hardware issue in the last few days and this is coincidental?
I would find a way to go back flash your region model back to stock firmware and see if that fixes the problem. Then update like normal and see if the problem occurs with the new updates. Sounds like software issue. It didnt happen to me but then again I havent played around with mine in a couple weeks.
Hello,
My wife's S6 just received Marshmallow last week. We're on Straight Talk service on AT&T's network and everything was working fine up until Wednesday night. First, her phone went from 45% to dead in the span of an hour. Then the next day she had issues with her mobile data where she had no connection. We deleted/reloaded APN settings but that didn't fix it. I have the same service on my Nexus 6p and the same settings and mine works like a champ.
I did notice that her Android OS was consuming 45% of her battery and without any idea how to fix it I went ahead and performed a factory reset, twice. She still has excessive battery drain (70%-40% in 5 minutes), she no longer has mobile data, and her cellular/texts work sporadically; however Android OS is now under control. She now has cellular standby eating up 30% of her battery and app optimization was at 28% (This could have been due to reinstalling all her apps). I would like to say it's a hardware issue but seeing as how multiple people are having some of the same issues I think it's an actual problem with her update.
Is there any way to fix this without going back to Lollipop? If that is my only option where is the best place to find a legit version?
Here are her phone's specs:
Model: SM-G920T
Android Version: 6.0.1
Android Security Patch Level: May 1, 2016
Baseband version: G920TUEU3DPD6
Kernel Version: 3.10.61-7610624

Look, I'm going to tell you this straight.
Marshmallow has had a lot of problems.
Just scrolling through a few threads reveal most of peoples problems come from after updating to M. My S6 is completely untouched, in fact, the battery life is better.
Google released M way too early without testing it with their lab devices enough. Too many bugs, too many things missing. My best guess is uninstall any apps your wife got recently and if that doesn't work, carry a cheap power bank until Google releases an update.
I was able to downgrade to 5.1.1 and it solved her battery issue, but not her mobile data. I called Samsung and we're going to get it serviced to see if they can fix whatever is wrong. What I find funny/frustrating is that any time a new version of Android is released (and lately apple too) there are always tons of problems with battery life and other issues. You figure they'd get it right one of these days.
I upgraded to M just over 2 weeks ago & my battery life/phone experience is excellent. I was also reluctant to update, but no regrets at all in hindsight. My advise: Watch out for OTA updates - rather download new firmware & use Odin to flash.
Head on over to good ol' Sammobile and download the latest firmware for your carrier and then follow the instructions to flash. Perhaps that might help.
Just wanted to provide an update. We just got the phone back from Samsung. They ended up replacing the motherboard and that fixed the issue with no mobile data. Also, the new motherboard may have fixed the battery drain issue. It's a little too early to tell but battery drain appears normal for now.
Hi All,
So I have come across a rather large issue when having the charging pins on my Samsung Gear Fit 2 Pro replaced due to corrosion(know defect :/). The watch charges, that's fine, however, upon first boot, it got extremely hot at the power button and HR sensor. Upon researching I discovered this was an issue with Samsung gear devices after roughly June 2018, so I decided to try and downgrade the firmware. I initially downloaded the stock firmware for SM-R360 (by mistake) and updated the watch. The overheating issue was gone and the watch worked fine however none of the sensors worked, which was to be expected as it was the wrong firmware for the device, which actually need SM-R365. So I then arrived at the post "SM-R365 Stock firmware and Combination firmware" by deadman96385. The technique for updating firmware is perfect, no issue there. However, upon uploading the stock firmware to the watch, the horrible overheating issue returned but all the sensors are functioning beautifully. So I am a tad confused? Is it hardware related and time to abandon this watch??
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I think it's some bug on firmware, I have similar problem with Gear Fit 2 Pro, it's overheating after detecting intensive training, like I think, and battery is discharging superfast, about 3 hours…
I think it will be fixed in new firmware version ?

I fixed it by disabling dynamic training detection…
Now everything works perfectly
Hi all. Accidentally discovered the problem myself. Model sm-g9960, the problem is that when you switch to energy-saving or lower the frequency to 60 Hz, this garbage appears on the screen. This has not been observed before. I did a general reset, I sewed the latest firmware through one. Tell me what could be causing this? screen or firmware?
This happened to my old and now disposed s20 ultra...but it was not the firmware...I made a hard reset thru Samsung's find my mobile page...it just didn't come back...I let it rest for almost a month and nothing....so it was kind of screen of death thing I suppose.
I usually always laughed at my friend, because his iPhone 12 would make the music go choppy on the Bluetooth speakers whenever he went to the bathroom at the office only just next door, while my awesome OnePlus could play even if I was in another room in another floor, it didn't even matter how far away i was, the signal still went through and amazed us all.
But gosh darn it, after the android 12 update.. even if my phone is just in my pocket - if i point it away from the speakers, the music gets Choppy.. it's an obvious massive downgrade from the signal strength i had before and I was wondering if anyone else has noticed this since updading?

Did you do a factory reset? This maybe needed.
Did you at least do a network reset?
Many Samsung users rolled back to 11 from 12 so it's not just OP devices.
Personally I refuse to go beyond Android 10 with 9 being my preferred OS. This has more to do with resource sucking scoped storage though. Anything from 9 up is relatively secure. 12 especially is too secure

Ugh, factory resetting is such a hassle
I mean if it fixes it I guess I'll have to do it, but I'd hoped it was as a last resort. I haven't tried a network reset, I don't think I've ever even done that before, so I'll just look into how that's done first and try that out
A network reset sadly didn't work, on the bright side my speakers finally plays Christmas music the way its intended - not playing

One reason I don't upgrade especially if the current platform is fast, stable and fulfilling its mission. Little to gain and a lot to lose.
A network reset is pretty painless just need to reinitalize the bt devices and wifi ones if you use them. I'll use it from time to time if having connection issues.
If you can clear the system cache on that device do so. That can fix a lot of bizarre behavior issues especially if you made major software or firmware changes. Many times a factory reset is the best option if you did a major OTA firmware upgrade. Last thing you want is a boot loop; take any sign of system instability seriously. Make sure all critical data is fully and redundantly backed up as it should always be.
Play with it. A rollback to 11 may be possible as well; not sure about that variant.
This has nothing to do with old files requiring a factory reset. Something has definitely changed in the firmware for OxygenOS 12. I now can't be more than 4 meters apart from my device without the audio getting choppy - it's crazy.

Of course I did. This has _nothing_ to do with storage or stale data. It's something they changed in the firmware when moving from Android 11 to 12.

Well a rollback is your only option then or wait until it's patched unless you can track it down. A lot of Samsung users rolled back from 12 to 11 because of issues.
This an example of one of reasons why I never update firmware that's fast, stable and fulfilling its mission. Zero trust in Gookill. They can and have screwed up good products in the past; it's their nature.
ARGH I've been using pixelexperience for months now since I posted this thread, but there were just so many small annoyances so I decided to come back to stock. I had briefly forgotten about all these friggen BT issues so I just installed the newest version again. ARGH XD
Yeah the BT thing is just really annoying.
Same here since Update to Android 12. The Bluetooth Range thing and den slower charging speed (tested with the Android app "Ampere") was very annoying.
None of the known solutions work. The only thing I could do now was go back to Android 11.
Back the Android 11 and bluetooth Range and charging speed ist fine again. Maybe a custom Rom like Lineage 20 or pixel experinece 13 works but in dont want to try, because the installation and the subsequent change back to stock is very time-consuming.
Did somebody test the Android 13 custom roms in view of the two problems??
Greetings

I tried Pixel Experience 12 & 13 on my Nord.
It feels alright most of the time but there's the occasional annoyances. For instance :
- When rebooting my Nord, the system will ignore the current alert slider position (e.g. I'll shutdown my phone on "silent", move the slider to "ring" when the phone is off, and the phone will stay in "silent" when booting up while the slider is in the "ring" position.
- There's no clear visual feedback as to what mode you're in when moving the alert slider (e.g. the little bubble appearing momentarily on the right side of the screen)
- The camera feels janky for some reason. I did not research this area further unfortunately.
- Sometimes, my Nord will not be able to transfer files to my computer, unless I enable "USB Debugging", which is awful.
I did not notice any unusual behavior regarding charging, but those issues are what you get when only one or two people are working on supporting your device rather than its manufacturer.
How about the Bluetooth Problem in Pixel experience 13?

I feel like it's a mix between OOS 11 and 12. It's not as bad; but still not great. I don't have any detailed test results, sorry.
Though keep in mind that I'm talking from memory as I had rolled back to OOS 11.
OK, np... I'll stay at Android 11. I dont understand why oneplus dont fixed that Problem. In the oneplus Community Forum many Users Report that Problem..
It feels Like "you are unhappy with your Phone, buy a new one"....
Next Phone no more oneplus.
