[Q] Auto unlock zone - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The GSMArena preview of the S4 mentions something called "auto unlock zone" which automatically bypasses the lockscreen based on what wifi networks are in range. I cannot seem to find this feature on my I9505. It was purchased in Sydney, Australia from the Samsung Experience store, and is hence unlocked and unbranded. I am using build XUAMDE. Can anyone else confirm if they have this feature on their phone?

That's right; I'd like to know which variants have this feature.

It won't be long before custom ROMs come out with these features then we can all have them

Looks like a lot of devices are missing this feature. In the mean time you can use HOME UNLOCK for free from the market.

Missing NFC icon

Has anyone had an issue with their NFC icon not showing up in the status bar even though NFC is enabled and working? I had it on my T-Mob S5 to start but it seems to have vanished... not sure it happened until after I rooted, but thing is, I have 3 other S5's in the house, all rooted, and all of them but mine show the icon... and I haven't applied any changes to mine via root that haven't been done to the others (only change was to enable SD write access). Not a showstopper by any stretch, but just kinda annoying... tried clearing cache from recovery, no help. Just a weird thing, wondering if anyone else has seen this?
Does not show on my S5 either, but I am glad. The notification bar can become cluttered enough anyway.
Agreed, it's no big loss... I just don't like things not working that should be.
US devices has them on. International or EU devices has them disabled. Both working as intended

The plot thickens: I'm on T-Mobile... and besides, I stated out with it working... so unless I somehow flipped it to international...
A little jealous of yours being "missing," but I understand being concerned.
I am in the US on AT&T, and mine is there...all the time...cluttering.

just want to know, did the camera have Manual control like the M8?
I read from different sources, that update is for unlocked version, but does not know if CDMA or GSM...

[G920I] [ZEROFLTEDV] Galaxy S6 Discussion, Custom ROMS and more

I am starting this thread for the G920I model of the S6. Codenamed "Zerofltedv".
Where is G920I Available?
- Singapore
- India
- Australia
- USA
- Latin American countries
- North America
The S6 comes with regional locks for particular countries, And need to be activated with a sim specific for that region.
What is this thread about?
- For discussion.
- Online and local availability.
- Isssue discussion.
- Custom ROM development specific for this variant.
- Pricing
- Accessories
Curious to see which country with the G920I model gets updates first so I can flash that region's firmware in Odin. Australia will obviously be last as usual so I'm keen to get off this firmware ASAP and get onto one that doesn't block auto-rotate in the Gallery app

And regarding the auto rotate, it's been an issue on Samsung phones in Australia for years due to some lawsuit with Apple.

Can you advise your software details as the Australian variant hasn't had an update and I'd be interested to see the difference in software.
I wonder if the Edge has had an update as well?

No details on the changes, but it looks like Indian firmware has a build date of 31 March while everyone else is still the 7th of March.

They have'nt specified anything specific to be non functional, so it will work on all 4G networks.

Yes, I am on the Indian firmware, which came right out of the box, got a small update yesterday thou. If our models are G920I then we should be able to flash any firmware for the same. My question is what is up with the regional locks? will that be a problem?
IS anyone here having the flash always on problem? mine is very dimly lit if you see it in the dark. very very dim, I have to try hard to observe it. Is it a major issue? are your devices doing the same?
am on a singapore version and i dont have the flash always on problem. battery life sucks though, coming from a OPO.

It's because of the crappy samsung apps running in the background .. Knox and ****. My flash is not that lit that it is noticeable... I have to look really hard. Very hard to see.. But it is glowing.. The technology must be this way I think

Apparently it is not a normal feature and samsung has been made aware of this issue and they are working on it. Saw this today on the xda channel.
Whew, just got this today.
Are there any custom ROMs for the S6 that are in development?

Nothing yet. Just the root. No roms.. Should take a month plus for proper custom rom support.

Just installed the update and booted my phone. Seems to have better RAM management and a new app installed called Samsung Gear. Will update thread on whatever changes found.

I haven't gotten any updates on my Galaxy S6 sm g920I. :/ Currently running, G920IDVUDOI2.
Another change I saw was that the icons of grouped apps and Smart Manager have curved edges that are similar to the Note 5 icons.

While using the Phone Info app, it says it's from, or was made from Vietnam. However, my original CSC code is from Papua New Guinea/ NZ.

You can try updating it via the PC. The update may not be available for some variants of G920I.

I updated this new firmware using Odin. I was tired of waiting.
The only other phones I've had are the Samsung Vibrant & Note II and I'm kind of hoping you guys can clear this up for me.
What is the difference between the different "G920I" versions. I understand the difference between the G920 variants (I/T/V/etc..) made for specific carriers/regions but I don't understand what the different variants of the G920I mean (which have different build numbers).
I am looking here:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G920I/
Can any of these firmwares be flashed on any G920I version? I thought the G920I version would be the same internationally but I'm not sure why some devices are being updates and others are not...can someone clarify?
Thanks.
I'm getting 4g speeds VIA T-Mobile USA when I flashed to G920IDVU3DOJ6_G920IXSA3DOJ6_XSA (Australia), I used to get LTE when I was in G920IDVU2COF8. Is that a problem?

Just the icon most likely. EU roms show 4g instead of LTE.
The update brings up a new feature "rich communication", also installed Samsung gear app.... Other than that I'm still looking out for new stuff.

How to enable Smart Call?

Smart Call is a feature I love on Samsung phones.
I just picked up a dual sim S8+ last week, and I can't find where to enable it. Samsung's website says to do it through 'Caller ID and spam protection' in the Call settings, but this is not an option I have.
Is this not a feature available on the international model or did Samsung remove it from Oreo?
Smart Call is available for phones meant to be shipped to US. I don't think it would work on your phone as it's not meant to be sold in US. Samsung uses HIYA to provide the smart call service. Installing HIYA yourself should also give you pretty similar results. Personally I like TrueCaller better as it works for Individual callers also and not just Businesses as in HIYA. TrueCallers database is much more robust.

It csc related. What provider you planning to use it on?
Or if you root you can definitely activate it...

Hey guys, i'm very new to this as well and i purchased T-mobile Galaxy S8 Active thats unlocked which I use on Koodo in Canada. I would also like to have smart call back like i did on my old S8. Whats the best way for me to to this, i also wouldnt mind getting rid of the t-mobile apps. Ive read about flashing the phone and putting on an unlocked firmware which would remove tmobile and put on a stock samsung firmware. is this true, what is the best way for me to do this?
