[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
These are the actual bands for the g9009 on the china telecom network.

sim 1

CDMA 800MHz

WCDMA 850/1900/2100MHz will only pickup signal whiles roaming

GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz

sim 2

GSM 900/1800/1900MHz

if you have used dual sim phones before, you will have no problem with this, when receiving call, it will indicate which sim with the icon 1 or 2.

when making a call through the dialing pad, there is a icon sim 1 or sim 2 to send.

when making a call through the phone book, as soon as you press the telephone number, there is a pop up to select which sim you want to make the call from.

There are other alternative with the slide down menu or through a widget.

all these are from my i9192, but should be the same.

hopefully they will bring out a g9002 version and not have gsm only for sim 2, but if this is for china market it seems to be the case, at present it seems like the i9192 (S4 mini dual sim) is the only samsung phone that support WCDMA and GSM in both sim 1 and 2 if i'm guessing correctly.

Here is that phone we dream of:

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s5_dualsim_version_hits_china-news-8222.php

However this phone will not see the light of the day in other countries besides China. Sad. I actually have some strong arguments against S5 due to dual sim adapter which I like to use. Probably using this adapter might affect the water resistance capabiluty. Since everything is so tightly packed under the cover when adding dual sim adapter there is a risk of leaking the water in since it might cause the cover not to close very tight. This is what I currently have in S4. So it is water resistance or ability to switch between sim cards. Choice is yours.

Questions about s5 dual SIM

Hi folks I have many questions....:confused:

Where as possible buy the S5 dual SIM?:eek:

The model is G9009D?

What the frequency for 4G/LTE? Here in Brazil the frequency is 2600.

Can I use both SIM card for GSM?

Has Google Play?

Has english language?

read through the thread, the info has been posted.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] copysat:
hi,

lets talk about the "D" (G9009D) I think its means Dual-Sim no more "2"(G9002) and it will be conflict with N9002 note 3 if thy use "2"

from my understanding this phone will work in china as CDMA 800MHz(using china telecom sim) and will work as WCDMA 850/1900/2100 MHz out side china if using any els provider sim.

please correct me if i am wrong,and if some can confirm

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kms108:
You are correct as i've seen this phone released, not too sure the actual model number, but it's not the chinese version, looking at the label on the back of the phone, it could be india or Saudi Arabia.

it's the first dual sim phone to support 4G

sim 1 support 2G, 3G and 4G

sim 2 support 2G

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quicksta4:
I've got a soft bricked Verizon Galaxy Note 3 and I've tried just about everything I've seen on every other thread to fix it. I'm not really "new" to rooting, I've been doing on every phone I've owned since the HTC Thunderbolt (I regretted that purchase immensely).

The phone was a gift that I just received the day before yesterday, and I didn't think to check whether it came pre-loaded with the latest update that supposedly makes this type of soft brick happen.

After using Odin to try and load Root de la Vega, it gets stuck right away.

Here's the feed from Odin:

Regardless of what I'm trying to load to the device, whether it's the root file, or the "fix" files with the correct PIT and everything, it still stops at the same point. Anyone know how to fix this particular problem?
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bftb0:
If you soft-bricked it using RdlV, why are you attempting to recover from that situation by continuing to use RdlV ("Root_de_la_Vega.tar.md5") ?

[Edit] - you mention some other files, but in a pretty vague way. Please be specific.

Flash the pure stock Odin file onto the phone and root in a different fashion (kingo or vroot).

Since you don't know which release was on the phone, neither do we, so I suppose that means you should assume you had MJE, and therefore the only stock Odin file you can flash is

Hey there,

I am looking to upgrade to 4.4 on my S3 SGH-i747m (Rogers).

I can't find any recent builds, seeing as on the CM site I can only find builds for i9300 and other models. The only thread on this site is "discontinued". Would I be wrong in assuming that there will no longer be any updates?

Can some one point me in the right direction, can I use a different build?

[Galaxy S 5 General] sachinaik:
Long term Samsung user here. Still using Note 3 as secondary phone.

For my note 3 I get the Indian tar.md5 image from sammobile and flash it via odin and then root it. That is the best way to update.

One thing I've learnt is there are lot of Indian sellers who import the US / UK version of Samsung phones and sell it in India.

Now we can easily get N3 SM-N9005 for 39990Rs on eBay. Item location is in India only. This US version of note3 has got plenty of Custom Rom support and even several AOKP , CM11 roms.

Samsung phones that I bought never needed service center support. Right from s2, s3, S4, N2, N3, N3 Neo.

Similarly for S5 also US/European version is available in India. You can even chose the one which has 1800 LTE band support. Later move to Reliance 4G.

While you are at it, you can buy 32GB version.

It's cheaper than Indian S5.

You get all the ROMs you can install. Once GPE edition is released you can either buy it or use it's Rom on your S5 UK/US model.

Same is true with HTC one M8.

You can buy developer edition or look for pieces which says no verizon logo etc.

So many options are there. You need not buy exynos crap.

Just my suggestion to my Indian fellows. Don't waste money on something which you will 've struck with...

S5 GPE is going to release soon. Wait for it or buy S5 US/UK version 32 gb with 1800LTE band support with item location in India and enjoy all the custom roms you can.
[Galaxy S 5 General] rkadve:
S5 is now available for less than 40K on Snapdeal. At this rate it may touch 30K by June end
[Galaxy S 5 General] sachinaik:
If it hits 20k I might buy it and use as a underwater 4k video 16MP camera.

Wait I can get 18MP, waterproof, 5x optical zoom, high quality low light performing piece of art in 11k.

It comes with 13.4mm thin chassis and weighs 114Grams.

Guess what its Sony TX-30.

It has separate dual flash for macro shots !!!!

If 13.4mm is too much, get Sony Tx-55 for 10k which is 12.4mm thin and weighs 104grams.
[Galaxy S 5 General] NoteboyTech:
I dont think it will go below 32k this year... note 3 and s4 has to get their prices dropped aswell, s4 is already rocking on 30k and note 3 is expensive than this, i will get the 801 varient imported, but my heart says wait for note 4.. lets see s5 prime has in store for us

Please help me out.
[Galaxy S 5 General] jaidev.s:
Here's my two cents on Samsung warranty / replacement policy. I had an International Variant of S4(9505) which I brought from Germany. When I was in India, my battery backup started to depreciate. Samsung Chennai replaced my battery without asking any questions . My phone was on CM11 at that time and I had no real hope of getting a replacement because it was from Germany, it was rooted and it was running on CM. They didn't ask for any purchase proof or anything
[Galaxy S 5 General] rl421403:
Well, it's really hard to tell.

WS Retail is the most and probably only reliable seller on flipkart (coz it's flipkart itself). Everybody else is outsider and can con you, not saying they will but there is a possibility. I think you should read review for seller and choose cash on delivery option.

Also if you want to pay a little more, WS Retail is also selling this phone for Rs. 42415.

http://www.flipkart.com/ps/MOBDUUDTUFXXUQBD

But I don't think these are grey market phones. Other sellers are just lowering their profits by selling at lower price. Lots of other sellers or websites are selling S5 for this price. So phone is ok.

Although Amazon is also selling S5 for Rs. 38,999,

http://www.amazon.in/Samsung-Galaxy-S5-Charcoal-Black/dp/B00JB6RT8K/

Fullfilled by Amazon itself. I think this one is the best deal so far. Price is lowest, seller is very reliable too. Because if you find any issue, you can return it to Amazon, no questions asked.

If I were you, I would wait for couple of more days or weeks. Price will go further down and stabilize around 33-35k.

But if you want to buy just now, go for Amazon. :)

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 PM ----------

Just a question.

Did S4 prices were also reduced so rapidly, like S5? I don't remember now.

Although I regret my decision to purchase S4 on very first day.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Mandeep148:
Thanx for info bro.

No s4 price was 37 at December 2013 then after Jan it started reduced and droped to 31k and so on.

Also s5 is the Samsung most flagship which is failed in India. For example this Indian thread. Samsung Indian threads was crowd like hell at last year. But now its like 0. People moving to Sony. Because people now know that what Samsung is doing.

But m still Samsung fan buying s5 in my birthday at 4 June xD
[Galaxy S 5 General] rl421403:
You are welcome. :)

I also think that S4 prices were never fell like S5. I remember I bought it for 41,500/- on day one but price fell to 2k-3k- in 2-3 weeks. So I regret buying S4 on day one and thought I could have waited a few weeks. But it was nothing big, so I was and still am satisfied with the device.

I was also surprised to see, nobody is talking in S5 Indian thread here. It's like people in India totally rejected S5. I think because of, first 51,500/- launching price was ridiculous, second it's not good upgrade for S4 owners or other company flagship device owners, third I am sure S4 might have been selling better then S5 because of the huge price difference & for value of money, fourth people now have better alternatives at cheaper price.

BTW happy birthday and buy S5 in next couple of days. I think you will get 37-38k price before 6th. So if you see price lower then 38,500/-, grab the deal. I think that will be a good deal for you. BTW which color you want to buy?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Mandeep148:
U right bro. But s5 already getting for now 37.5 haha I think its stable now. According to my data.
[Galaxy S 5 General] aashuG:
S5 prices r falling too fast as compared to s4 may b it failed to create its charm on indian users

The reason for s4 price falling is that samsung has start manufacturing it india itself.at launch it was imported

Currently the new offer is exchange ur old s4. For 20k for new s5 .
