[Galaxy S 5 General] ramiscat:
Well, looks like Samsung will indeed be sticking to its usual schedule of announcing new Galaxy S flagships in March and launching them in April. Lee Young Hee, executive vice president of the company’s mobile business, confirmed to Bloomberg that the Galaxy S5 would launch sometime in April, along with the second-generation Galaxy Gear (already hinted at by another Samsung exec.)

“We’ve been announcing our first flagship model in the first half of each year, around March and April, and we are still targeting for release around that time,” Lee said. “When we release our S5 device, you can also expect a Gear successor with more advanced functions, and the bulky design will also be improved.” He also mentioned that the Galaxy S5 would feature a radically different design with a focus on the display, as the lack of visual differences between the Galaxy S III and Galaxy S4 were part of the reason why the latter didn’t sell as well as expected.

Lee also mentions that the company is looking at implementing iris/retina scanning technology for its next flagship, lending credence to the plethora of rumors that have been swirling around in the last few months. “Many people are fanatical about iris recognition technology and we are studying the possibility,” said Lee; his words suggest that even if the Galaxy S5 doesn’t sport the iris scan feature, at least the Galaxy Note 4 could do so when it launches later this year.

The Galaxy S5 is expected to sport a QHD (2,560×1,440) 2K display, a Snapdragon 800 processor/64-bit Exynos processor, 3GB/4GB of RAM, 16-megapixel camera, and Android 4.4 KitKat. It is also expected to be the first Samsung flagship to have a metal construction, at least on one of its variants.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Badbob117:
huh

I don't know how keen i am about retina scans for your phone. I have had eye surgery and really dislike the idea of stuff messing with my eyeballs.

I mean at one point you gotta ask yourself " how much security is to much?". I will stick with a pin number. Finger print scans, iris/retina, God only knows what is next?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Mr hOaX:
I heard somewhere that Samsung gonna release it in Barcelona on 23rd February
[Galaxy S 5 General] gadgetmilk:
So much for that retina scanner talk. Galaxy S5 was a disappointment. Good but still a disappointment.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] monkeybuttons:
I recently purchased two used A100's for a steal. One of them is recognized by my computer and I was able to root it just fine, but the other isn't recognized by my computer. It doesn't even show up in device manager. I thought the usb port on the tablet may have come unsoldered, but after taking the device apart and inspecting the port nothing seems to be physically wrong with it (at least from what I can see).

I have tried several different usb cables, different computer ports, I tried flashing the stock ICS zip posted by Romman0, factory reset a few times, toggled usb debugging on and off, changing usb mode from mtp to ptp and back, I even tried to get an adb boot logcat but it just sat there waiting for device.

My question is, does this sound like a hardware fault?

Is there something else I can try to obtain root? Everything else seems to work great, but I really want to root this thing.

Any help is appreciated.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pio_masaki:
Its been awhile since I've seen the method used but it probably requires adb at some point so it would need a working USB connection. Aside from some sort of physical damage (pins are a good bet) there's not usually any reason it stops working, of the faults this device has the USB port isn't one.

If the process just uses adb for commands and pushing files you may be able to root it from android itself.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] monkeybuttons:
That's one of the things i am really struggling with about this. I can't see why the USB port would go bad. I am at my wits end. I can't see anything physically wrong with it. I even tried cleaning the pins with isopropyl alcohol using q-tips and a male micro-usb connector i have laying around.

How would i root from android itself? Can i run adb commands from a terminal without root access? I can't see how this would be possible.

If you can illuminate on how to root without the usb port i am all ears.

Also, thanks for the reply.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] pio_masaki:
You don't need root to use adb, some commands yes but you can do quite a bit without it, things that gain you root access. Some commands done via adb can also be done on the device itself via terminal.

That aside like I said its been awhile I'd need to look at it and see if it can be done, I wouldn't get my hopes up, though, if it hasn't been done yet there's probably a reason.
[Acer Iconia A700 and A510] monkeybuttons:
Ok. I appreciate your insight and time. I'll see what I can do with it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Joee21:
Im so screwwwweeddd i was trying to flash a "100% stock rom" for thr sprint htc from this link here

http://www.htc1guru.com/downloads/stock-rom-downloads/

and now, the rom booted up and its just stuck at the lock screen i got 4g and im getting notifcations but i cant even reboot, manual reboot or anything just keeps saying, hold on power for 1 second and im holding forever and nothing!!

Touch doesnt work and i was coming from ecliptic rom yes my phone has unlocked bootloader and i selected the option to not root

PLEASE HELP!!
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Joee21:
I used the latest file, my touch doesnt work at all :( is there anyway to control the screen without having to touch it ?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
It must be a 4.1.2 ROM. Your touchscreen doesn't work cause you need the old drivers for 4.1.2 If you just want a stock rom run a ruu. This is the latest http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2508907
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Joee21:
yeah i knew about ruu's thing is you cant ruu on mac.

Heres what i did though, since touch wouldnt work. i had to adb everything. and Re-root this thing again, and flash TWRP again, touch still wouldnt work nor was i able to unlock the screen but luckily i had a cm11 zip lying around, i loaded it up deleted the usual data , cache etc, and it booted to cm11 with working touch!

took 6 hours to figure it out.. but i did it!

Lesson learned
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] elvisypi:
It's what I said. You wanted to flash a 4.1.2 ROM, but you are on the latest firmare. Your touch didn't work cause 4.1.2 needs the old firmware (touch pannel driver). If you still want that ROM you need to downgrade your firmware (you must be s-off) than flash the old firmware. If you want to stick with newer ROMs 4.3 and above you are ok. You can't do many things with a mac so you must install VirtualBox and than make a Windows virtual machine.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cienight:
So i've got this problem.

I've been using the alarm lately and after even dismissing the alarm the rainbow notification light keeps blinking.(Actually the alarm stops itself and the led is still blinking)

Only way to resolve this is by restarting the phone.

I tried to reproduce the issue and its working fine by closing the led as soon as i dismiss or snooze the alarm.

Anyone else with that issue?Could it be a hardware issue? (i really hope not)

And please can anyone test the number and sequence of the led colors when the alarm is ringing?

(You can test that in the settings by unticking and ticking the alarm notification box)
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cienight:
Any ideas??

For the moment I'm turning the alarm led off, but it would be nice if someone would assure me that it's software related and not hardware.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaki-:
Do you have another alarm app? Have you root? When did you purchased the phone?

LG G2 alarm notifcation LED not turning off

Hey hi.. I m also facing the same issue. Dnt knw exactly what the problem is related to. I always use alarm but never had this problem, have been facing this issue from past two days. As I restart my mobile then LED light turns off. Its a multicolor notification which is enabled for alarm in settings so it must be related to that only.

If u have got the solution then please do let me know how to resolve it.

Thanx.....
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] IXChicharitoXI:
I'm currently on a 4.3 touchwiz rom and I was wondering if it's possible to jump to 4.4.2 and revert back to touchwiz 4.3?

I read about the Knox security thing and I understand I can't go back to 4.1 or any prior touchwiz builds.

I just want to make sure if I go to KitKat and I find it unstable to make it my DD. I atleast have the option to go back to touchwiz.

I normally used Odin to go back to touchwiz(4.1.2) when I used AOSP(4.2.2) does that still work?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] sandra361:
It's possible. I recently had to do a warranty on my phone and the refurb I got had the latest 4.3. I just updated the recovery to CWM and rooted it using Chainfire's method then updated to the latest Superuser; after doing that and reloading SU it asked me if I wanted to disable Samsung Knox. After hitting yes and disabling it, I flashed it to CM 11. I decided I didn't like it and restored an to an earlier backup of the rooted stock 4.1.2 and have had no problems. As long as you make sure to disable Samsung Knox first and make a backup just in case you should be fine.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] KryptBoi:
i'm very new to this kind of stuff so can someone plz tell me if i can use the wifi feature on my qtek to pick up a wireless internet connection and have the phone connected to the computer through activesync simultaneously? cus i can't seem to make it work. everytime i try to connect the phone to the computer through activesync after i have had the wireless internet connected, the activesync seems to disconnect me from the wireless connection. so im just wondering if i can connect those 2 connections at the same time or not?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] michaelromeo:
no you can't, sorry

Activesync tears down the wifi connection and builds a new conection using you PCs networking. You can still access the intenet through you PC though.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] KryptBoi:
thanks

thanks for the quick reply. yeah i know i can access the internet through PC connection but the problem is that my wireless adapter is broken so i want to have my qtek pick up the internet and then use activesync to transfer the internet connection back to my computer so i can go online on my PC, thats all. so there is no way we can work it around huh?
[HTC Sensation] throcker:
sup guys! I was out of this dev section from a while (got a one x and now a one, HTC FTW) and now my GF got a sensation...

I need a suggestion for a stable bugless rom with sweep2wake and toggles...the fastest you have...or she will leave me, because of the bugs I put in her phone..."you ruined my phone! I want my galaxy w back!! this phone has bugs!!!!" and throws things...

I was looking for albino's cm10.1 (since 10.2 is not so smooth and drains too much battery and cm11 is too buggy now), is there any other ROM I should look for?

hope I made you laugh with this post lol, I was joking about the leaving thing, but she's really pissed off because of my modding addiction...XD and I really need help, I don't know how roms are.

thank you all guys
[HTC Sensation] nlooooo:
The best experience, fastest work, best battery ARHD 7.3 with Sultan kernel.
[HTC Sensation] throcker:
Thanx mate, but...I mean...a bit outdated...sense 3.6 looks pretty ugly now xD "use a launcher!" all right, all right...

Thanks anyway
[HTC Sensation] nlooooo:
Sense 3.6 is the last one that looks like a real Sense, everything later lost it's point.

Outdated-maybe, best working-definitely. You said you need something bugless. If you want something newer go with MIUI, it's 4.2.2, you have patched sultan kernel with ION for it (and it also works perfectly with the stock kernel).
[HTC Sensation] jkolner:
I would go for Viper 3.1.4 cos it have full tweaks.

/ Sent from my phone /
[HTC Sensation] Pierrot Lunaire:
After using CM for a long time I got tired of the battery barely holding a day and decided to go back to the legendary ARHD and it's still the best rom for this phone in my opinion! If you're looking for stability, performance and good battery life, ARHD is definitely the way to go.

I don't really care about the Sense version. I use Apex Launcher and it pretty much looks almost the same like the CM roms I used except for the way the notification bar looks like which is fine with me.

In addition to flashing the rom I also flashed the Battery Percentage Fix / No Recent Apps / Extended Quick Settings, one of the Battery Percentage Mods, the Advanced Power Menu and the HQ Camera which takes much better pics than CM does by the way.

All current apps are working great and I'm glad I'm back using this rom. There's definitely no need to have the latest and newest software on your phone.
[HTC Sensation] nlooooo:
ARHD already has HQ camera. I think it's the standard since 6.7 version or so?
[HTC Sensation] Pierrot Lunaire:
I'm actually not sure. If the camera app buttons are green when pressed than it's not. If they're blue than it is the HQ camera.
[HTC Sensation] nlooooo:
It actually depends on skin, HTC gives green and Blue sky gives blue.

This is written in the mod thread:
[HTC Sensation] red.mage:
On my sensation I'm happy with [ROM][Android 4.4.2][Camera works] CM11 with ION [...]

If you prefer JB [ROM][Android 4.3.1][Camera works] CM10.2 with ION [...]
[HTC Sensation] erdal67:
Cm 10 is really stable
[HTC Sensation] mad.droid:
Which cm11 to choose

Hi - Which CM11 version do you recommend guys? I saw that there are two which are frequently updated:

- [ROM] CyanogenMod 11.0 | Android 4.4.2 KitKat [KANG] [Jan-15]

- [ROM][Android 4.4.2][Camera works] CM11 with ION [Jan 9, 2014]

I am going to install it to one of my friends phone who is not going to tinker it so I would like to install the better one. Currently he has cm10.1 on it from albinoman, which runs fast but it frequently has bugs during calls so that one needs to be replaced by a better room.
[HTC Sensation] pdbc:
IMHO don't install CM11 ROMs, then... They are not completely stable (camera doesn't work properly, and there are some bugs to be fixed).

Try a CM10.2 from albinoman or from a1-7 (sense-less), or a ViperS5 (Sense 5). No or few bugs at all, stability and speed... CM11 has to be improved a little to be considered a good daily driver.
[HTC Sensation] mad.droid:
Thanks for the tip. I will go for cm10.2 then. Android1-7's rom seems to be updated more frequtently so I chose that one.
[HTC Sensation] KidCarter93:
As I always say when I address these kind of threads, your best option is always to test the ROMs for yourself and decide based on your findings.

This is always the most ideal option because only you will know what you truly want out of a ROM and everyone is simply giving opinions, which honestly have no impact on what you choose anyway.

What's ideal for you may be complete rubbish for someone else + there could be an amazing ROM which you miss out on due to the fact that no one suggested it.

As these threads generally lead to fanboy arguments, however, these kind of threads are against the rules.

Therefore, Thread Closed.

I'm trying out the leaked 4.4 rom on my I9505. Unfortunately the task switcher is a little buggy!

Can anyone recommend any good task switching apps. Specifically is there any way of finding one that replaces the regular one without root, or at least gets activated by long press on home?

I'm using TW launcher currently though have nova installed too, and am game to try others

I've tries switchr which is novel (side swipe) but I couldn't get on with. Trying FASTX now, which adds to the notification bar & seems ok.

[HTC Amaze 4G] Odysseus1962:
First the previous answer is good advice for all questions not just yours. Flashing a new recovery is easy. You can either push a recovery image using adb, or the all-in-one toolkit. The other way is to flash with your current recovery, which you can do since you're already s-off. Go to the 4ext dev thread or the 4ext website and download the latest flashable version. Remember to thank the dev or better, buy his update tool from the store.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] rans0m00:
So I am getting tired of carrying around 2 devices. I enjoy carrying my tablet for reading etc but still have to carry a phone. What I want to do is get an LTE tablet (Hopefully the note 10.1 2014) and use it as both. I would just take the sim card out of my phone and put it into the tablet and use a bluetooth headset to make calls. Is this possible after doing some modifications or due to hardware issues would it never actually work?

[General Questions and Answers] majd_ar:
So this is my second post about the problem i am having with my phone. I will try to focus my questions this time because the first post was not answered properly by anybody as I made the question long and unclear (newbie here)

I bought a second-hand galaxy S3 less than a week ago with android 4.0.4 installed on it. I want to update to 4.3 or maybe to 4.4 if possible. My experience with android is very basic (it only started since I bought this phone). I really don't want to brick the phone so I wanna choose the right rom and process. I got a two-week trial period (one week left) to see if everything in the phone is working properly so I have to finish the update and get the phone to work before the trial ends.

To choose the rom, I checked the model number and it says GT-I9300 in the "about device" section in the settings.

View attachment 2511967

however, when I connect the phone to Kies, it shows the device name: SHV-E210K which is a korean model variation of the S3

View attachment 2511968

hint: I bought the phone in Indonesai as I am travelling through southeast asia now and it has 2gb of ram (that's why i really wanna keep it)

My questions:

1- Could anyone tell me what's the difference between those two names and which one should i use when I search for a suitable rom?

2- Is it possible that either of the names i wrote above could have been changed by the previous owner in any way?

3- Should i install a stock rom or what is the best option for S3 now? a link would be very helpful and appreciated.

4- The phone is not recognizing the codes of the network provider i am using. i.e. when I try dialing a code to check how much credit is left in my phone, it says "Undefined additional service, call customer center". Why is that and is possible to get fix this issue?

Finally, just in case you want more info, here is what comes up when i check the firmware version:

View attachment 2511970

and here is what comes up when i check All SW Versions:

View attachment 2511969

Please, I know this might be basic for many users but i still haven't got the hang of android yet and I don't have enough time or experience to be confident enough to decide everything on my own.

EDIT: Also here is a snapshot of the under-battery sticker.

I guess it is also worth mentioning that the IMEI on the under-battery sticker (hidden in the pic) matches the one that appears when i dial *#06#

Hard to say what rom to flash as you have two things saying different things. What does the sticker say on the bk of the phone under the battery?. Ss are not very visible. And also don't ever show imei number. Just in case you don't no imei is very important to keep safe.
