[Galaxy S 5 General] vbetts:
I'm going to point something out to everyone here that wants Samsung to get rid of security features such as locked bootloaders or Knox.

We are the minority. Do you Expect Samsung to tailor to us and risk the average consumer's information and safety so people can run an AOSP build or a custom kernel?

While I'm not excusing the US carriers for doing this, but why do you think they try to steer people away from rooting and unlocking the bootloader? People mess up, brick their phone, and then try to do a warranty claim on them. They're protecting their profits, and as a business you cannot blame them for that. Anyone else here would do the same thing to retain profits. And what do you mean "use the phone for what it was meant for?" The phone is meant to be a mobile multimedia cellular device, which in fact still does on the software it ships with no problem.

I do agree with this, I don't see too much point of the 16gb version. Still at least gives you a start of 10gb of storage at least.

You can disable features you don't need. But just because you decide a feature you think is useless or unnecessary, does not translate to everyone else will think this too. I like the kids mode feature, I've got kids and nephews that get my phone somehow all the time.(Anyone with kids can attest to that too! :D) I'm sure people will love this feature.

This is Qualcomm's area right here, ARM cpus are following the development of x86 cpus. Meaning it's reached a point now where development for ARM cores is slowing down, tremendously. We probably won't see any groundbreaking ARM cpu's come out for maybe at least a year or so now, took x86 cpus years to show good and cost effective performance gains.

Now you're just being greedy.

I do agree with this, but also at the same time there are 100s of other companies making accessories that Samsung does not make.

Samsung is not going to tailor the phone just for one person or a small group, they're doing it for what they believe are the best choices for their devices. Looking at their track record of the Galaxy line up, I'd say they've got it down pretty good.

Why do u need a 2k screen on a 5" device? It eats battery life, it bogs down cpu and gpu performance for something that your eyes can't notice. I cant even see a pixel on my s4.
[Galaxy S 5 General] gioloc88:
My wishlist for S5 -Premium

1. 5.2" inches screen in body-size of S4. It's not too hard if they look at LG G2.

2. Radio FM, and playable via loudspeaker.

3. Good camera in low light condition.

4. Smaller bezel, by aluminum.

5. QHD display.

6. Better performed in drop-test, maybe

7. Keep removable battery + external SDcard.

8. Snapdragon 805 or Exynos 64bit octa-cores.

9. Only 1 "main" international version, both have LTE-A, 4K video rec etc...

10. Wireless charging included.

11. Ram 3G

12. At least 32 GB internal memory, like Note 3.

13. Fingerprint inside screen.

14. Max brightness at 600nit, like Note3.

15. Flash Xenon for camera and flash led for Camcorder.

16. 120 fps video recording at 1080p

17. Not too heavy. <150g.

18. Clearer audio recording, noise reduction.

19. Stereo sound on louder speaker like HTC One.

20. A better earphone with improved DAC :(

21. Sapphire glass for screen and camera lens.

22. Dust and water resistant is good, but I hope it will not affect the bezels.

23. Remove Samsung logo in the front and rear. Just Galaxy.

24. Note 3 fake leather still better than this S5C, or aluminum body.

25. Working, interchangeable for S-pen or any stylus pen, docking, etc

26. Front camera 5MP, rear 18MP

27. Hot plugged battery, SIM and microSD card without restart phone.

28. Include an projector like Galaxy Beam

29. USB 3.1

30. Removable and downloadable all bloatware, Knox, gesture...

31. 3000 mAh battery

32. New flat Touchwiz, it's still ugly. :(

33. Touchwiz fully runnable in ART and compatible with any pixel density.

34. Free lags, especially open the contacts/dialer must be faster.

35. Dual boot Android & WP, maybe triple with Ubuntu or GPE rom.

36. Update firmware at least 24 months, not like i9300.

37. Not too many versions in worldwide.

38. For some sharing features like Galaxy Beam, Samsung should share this app to works on other Android devices, (now we only have Android Beam).

The same for SS smart watch, smartTV....

39. Still support Adobe flash (it's not SS or GG obligation, but I hope it).

40. Improved airview and air gestures in smarter way than before (Example: hover finger on the links help user preview link, not zooming like now). Open the API for all the sensors function and support the developers to create much good app based on them.
[Galaxy S 5 General] fernando sor:
When kitkat was being written all the engineers had to use a smart phone with only 512 mb of RAM.

This will be moot tho with TouchWiz which is the most bloated god awful software on Android. 2gb IS enough yet the s4 still suffered from lag.

With the newer processors not being available yet Samsung should have focused on design. They put zero effort into that. This will be their first flop in the galaxy line. And by flop I mean by their standards. It will still sell millions.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dandroid13:
I have minimal lag here, but even Nexus can lag, it's not just TW or Sense.
[Galaxy S 5 General] fernando sor:
this is so true. people just want a better spec sheet not realizing going above 1080p will actually lower benchmarks particularly with the s800 and 801 being the only SoC available now. To get something you probably wont even notice you will be sacrificing just about everything else performance wise.

---------- Post added at 01:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 PM ----------

Come on It was a pretty common bug on the s4. I have a Samsung tab note 10.1 and it lags considerably.

I've had numerous HTC phones over the years and sense has been toned down quite a bit. sense 3.0 was a system draining nightmare.

I really don't think you can compare a straight android ROM to A samsung rom and say with a straight face this makes no difference on performance or lag.

Just compare the size of a nexus 7 rom to any s4 rom.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dandroid13:
Sure, the Note 10.1 is slow, but the problem isn't how light or heavy the ROM is, the lag happens because the Java-based Android Runtime isn't a optimized as iOS, for example.
[Galaxy S 5 General] fernando sor:
It's actually dalvik at runtime. Dalvik virtual machine and kitkat is optimized quite well.

When you add a huge amount of code on top of that of course it will change the performance.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dandroid13:
Sure, but it'll never be as good as iOS or WP, sadly. :(

Anyway, here's a closer look at the new TW, and, you guys can kill me, but I really like it. http://www.phonearena.com/news/New-...z-what-changed-with-Samsungs-software_id53163
[Galaxy S 5 General] fernando sor:
Actually that's a matter of opinion. My nexus 7 2013 and HTC one run as well as any iOS device I've played with. And they're of course other factors such iOS locked down system, boring home screen, no widgets, tiny screen etc.

Hi Everyone,

I have flashed the ZVA update, with the OPTIMUS rom. Everything seemed OK but there's something I noticed, I barely get LTE now and whenever I am running 3G I lose GPS signal. It's visa versa too. If I get GPS signal, I lose 3G/Data capability. Does anyone have any advice?

[Sprint LG Optimus G] bowhunt2005:
Running good so far. Lots of options! I knida like this one. Thanks a lot. Hoping the battery holds out. Pretty early yet to tell but setup went smooth and haven't ran into any issues yet. Thanks again
[Sprint LG Optimus G] k5t4j5:
Pretty cool rom. Good features, but not over done. It's hard getting used to cache menu not being available with long press home button, but slim pie fixes that. Great job man
[Sprint LG Optimus G] jonahly:
Oh yeah! Good job man!!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bowhunt2005:
Yeah I thought so too. But there is a setting in hardware buttons and u can remap recent to the longpress home button.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] bowhunt2005:
CortexA8 with NEON is suggested in the optimus de thread so it should be good for this I would imagine.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] bowhunt2005:
Same here man. I can't believe this isn't getting more attention. There are settings and options with this that I've never even seen b4. And it seems like they all work. Besides dt2w. This ROM is sweet

What's this about? NOTE 1: To get Root working normally, Please uncheck "Respect CM root settings" in SuperSU. To get root working normally...... This bothers me and confuses me a little. To many things. So if I flash the normal way wipe wipe wipe and flash I could have root issues
[Sprint LG Optimus G] Kippui:

The unable to mount usb storage bit has nothing to do with it - you can safely ignore that message (unless you are trying to mount some sort of usb storage to your phone, which most people aren't trying to do). As for the failed flash - perhaps redownload the zip? It could have been a bad download - I would start there anyway :)

I did some Googling and in another forum saw a poster mention that LA Metro TAP Cards use NFC. I sometimes forget my TAP card as I lighten my every day carry to a minimum as I head out at night. But I always take my phone.

Is there an app that lets you use the Nexus 5's NFC capabilities to store TAP Card fares? I Googled and searched here but didn't see too much for LA Metro. There's apps for other cities but not LA. Anyone have any thoughts or point me in the right direction?

I use the tap cards as NFC tags. I'm pondering in just buying them from my local transportation for $1 each.

NFC ReTag app let's you use them for triggers. Also let's you use them for Tasker tasks too., that means endless possibilities.

I'm not sure if you can use it to store fare balances though. I've never tried that and doubt that's possible.

Ok so i just bought a new lg g2 d801.

I unlocked it succesfully, then went on to root it succesfully using ioroot.

Then I tried installing twrp using freegee and it didnt work giving me comparable results to this: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50501346&postcount=867

so I went on to install it manually from terminal emulator (I installed the rogers version as suggested by another user here as this is exactly my situation: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=50502408&postcount=869

I followed this method for the code in terminal emulator:

su

dd if=/sdcard/recoveryfilename.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery

replacing "recoveryfilename" to the name of the rogers .img.

Now the phone just boots normally into the stock interface but it is all glitchy, no wifi, computer doesnt recognize it and then within about 1 minutes it boots into the lg logo with the "turning on" sound randomly and keeps doing that.
