This is the worst phone i ever used. - Samsung Galaxy A51 Questions & Answers

Of all the phones i used this is gave me the worst user experience.
I was forced to reset my device 2 times.The phone just stopped working all of a sudden.The only way out was to reset it via recovery.
The UI is filled with bugs.
if you guys have any alternative then go for it.
im waiting for the one ui 2.1 update hoping that it would fix all these us.

one ui 2.1 is out...check out the firmware from sam mobile and install it...maybe it helps you

I got mine weeks ago... If you are rooted you won't get it. Just download the official rom and radio from here.
I am not rooted!! As stock as they come
Verify your build number
Setting -> About Phone -> Software Information and look at build number. Let us know what that is.
Also (not saying your dumb or didn't know to do this, but you didn't specify if you have tried or not) try a force check.
Settings -> Software Update -> Check new
My build number is 1.13.605.7
I have called verizon 4 times, and htc ones and everyone just keeps tellimg me thats is coming and just to wait. Come on....21 days
I have also tried all the tricks, battery pull, setting phone on 1x and even dailing that *#*#2..... number thing. The only thing is refuse to do is a factory reset only because i have read in other forums that people called htc and they had them do a factory reset only do have no result.

Odd... Easiest solution... Root and install the rooted deodexed ota rom... And don't forget to flash the ota mr2 radio...

I would just root your phone and flash BAMF Sense 3.0 rc5. It's very stable and makes your TBolt better. I have been using it for the past month and I love it!

I just wish I could make the OTA update stop bugging me. On my first TB, I'd hit reject and it would go away forever. Now I'm rooted on the stock rom and it's bugging me 1-2 times a day despite rejecting it. :\

Why not search for the rooted edition of the ota, install it and then it won't bug you anymore?

To be 100% honest, I never had issues with the stock radios at all (3G only area.) So with no reboots, I wanted to stick with what worked, despite the 'fix' that rolled out, then the fix for the fix (this OTA.)
I'll give it a shot.

Where can this be found? I'm doing a few searches, but would like to keep root and up to the current ota so I stop getting these firmware updates.
They try to install on their own, and lock the phone, have to clear cache to get my phone back working.

flashed Firmware
started back up fine after firmware flash but when i tryed to go into recovery from bootloader phone wouldnt start up. Tryed reboot from bootloader and phone wont start at all but i still can get into bootloader . anyone else have this problem. Seems off because the phone did start up fine after i flash the firmware. Seem from other post that i needed to refresh my rom for camera to work so thats what i was going to do when this happen
Got it started back up after powering down from bootloader . it looks like i have to reflash recovery..anyone else had to do this?

This post is for developers ... you not going to get much help here
but i can tell you this ... you would not normally flash the whole firmware zip
you edit it in 7zip and remove the recovery.img and hboot if you don't want it updated
some also remove the boot.img it seems to break the camera. Just a FYI
I flashed this and for first time flashing firwmares I lost root and now instead of 3G icon its showing ATT 4g Icon lol!
Can anyone extract out the camera apk for me from this firmware so I can compare to previous. Thank you devs.

Nordic (NEE) 4.4 Kitkat is now out!

I am starting this thread so us Nordic users can discuss anything about the latest update 4.4 once it is out.
Hopefully we will see it soon!

No - And it´s getting a bit frustrating i might add.
Check out Sammobile - It has become increasingly & annoyingly difficult to swing a dead cat around you without hitting obscure carrier specific KitKat updates left & right.
But 5 entire nordic countries?? Ohh - No.
We ought to contact Amnesty International and get "Update With holding" registered as an official form of torture. :silly:
At the very least it might have been usefull as an "Improved interrogation technique" at Guantanamo! :crying:
Regards
Elo.
I personally don't see any point in upgrading to KitKat as per now as it messes up more stuff than it actually "fix". NO move to SDcard support, battery drain for no apparent reason, locked bootloader and so on.
Correct me if I am wrong...
Seems like we are forgotten by sammy. Kitkat came in january and now 3 months later still nothing. Out last update was in december. lol.
I dont really need kitkat, but i need samsung to support my phone and now its been a lot of new fw's and nothing to NEE...
I just run the Polish version, works fine, except it's a battery hog.
i'm wondering why it takes 3-4 month to roll-out update for all regions !!!
really why ?

We're talking about 1/4 of a YEAR! Weird since the fw is already done and you can install it from other region and everything works.

Just did upgrade via OTA. Now running N9005XXUENC2. Build number KOT49H.N9005XXUENC2. Kernel 3.4.0-636608.
As expected not much have changed. Didn't do factory reset yet, i guess that is recommended? How about all the settings and saved games etc, those should be backed up?

You can try going without a reset - if there are no problems then you have no need to wipe the phone. If you have issues or sudden battery drain or something then do a reset. Apps and saved games can be backed up with Titanium Backup if you are rooted or I use Helium which works without root. Not sure if it saves settings - I try to never restore settings if I go to a different version so I haven't tested this.
I'm gonna do a factory reset 3 times as I did after the MJ7 disaster, it really helped with my battery life (not alot but a little).
I could usually squeeze out 6,7 hours of screen time on 10% this pales in comparison to MJ3 but I'll write here once I have some results.

KitKat photo editor
Just updated to 4.4.2 this morning and was disappointed that the Nexus photo editor wasn't in this update. Not sure if this has been discussed somewhere but is there a way to "easily" get it on my phone without rooting or anything?

Settings are crashing while clicking 'About Phone' option......?

guys whenever I try to open about phone option in settings, they are crashing.
I have rooted phone with busybox installed.
I am using xposed (monster UI, Xstana, xblast, eggster) etc for 20-25 days with no problem.
But now facing the problem.
I also tryd disabling all modules, wipe cache partition etc but problem doesn't go!!!
I tryd everything except hard reset bcoz I still want that I wouldn't reset it.
Pls give me a solution.
Note: My bro having android 5.1 also faced it even he didn't root that. but it was solved in few days.
You probably f**ked something up while messing with Xposed or BusyBox.

As I said that my bro also faced it even if he wasn't rooted.

It's a phone from India which means its some cheap piece of poop that's gonna have a lot of issues. Rooting the phone probably didn't help you with that. My best advice?
Un-Root.
Factory Reset.
Just incase though, what version of Android are you running?

Is there any real advantage to running MM instead of LP?
I'd probably lose the ability to install ViPER4Android if I went to MM and that would not be good, so there would have to be solid advantages to having MM.

Doze to give you better battery management , a lot of apps now are only compatible with lollipop and up.
But its your choice if you are happy with JB you can stick with it.

Hello, I am thinking of getting this phone but I'm worried about not being able to update to 6.0. I currently have the OnePlus One and I'm on 6.0 and I love all the new features. To get M working on this do I have to simply, unlock the bootloader, root the phone, install custom recovery (TWRP) and then download the rom + gapps to make it work? That is the standard process for other phones, I just want to make sure I won't have any issues before I buy the phone.
Thanks for your help in advance.

i do B326 to B511 all thing are good but i see 2 notes:
1 - i don't find my explorer internet .
2- i don't find my loupe.
If you want to try MM on Mate 7, you start with a standard phone. Stock recovery etc. Just drop the genuine Huawei update or stock ROM into the dload folder on SD card and start update from the OS running normally. Can also start update in recovery mode.
Have to be very careful to only use an update or ROM that is compatible though. If you use the wrong one it bricks the OS. I think differences in CUST folder, maybe partition sizes and such.

I would recommend getting the phone, but still sticking with the OP1 for a while, as you will definitely not appreciate EMUI. There's this really awesome guy working on getting Cyanogenmod 13 running on the device. He just made a massive breakthrough with getting GPU drivers running, so it can be anything from a few more days to weeks before we have a stable-enough build.
Check out his thread for more details and updates.
