[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amb669:
EXTREMLY disappointed.

this thing is like a note 2.5, it's a downgrade from the S4 in many ways and it get's completly smashed by the already 6 month old note 3.

the way i see it, going from the S4 to S5:

PROS:

Better processor (probly not even the best, snapdragon 800 is gonna be my guess)

200mah more battery

1mm bigger screen

Better camera

fingerprint scanner

water & dust resistant

the icecream sandwich style home page scrolling is a nice added touch of the new ui, but that's about all i can see

CONS:

The phone is WAY to big in comparison to the S4 for only adding 1mm of screen and 200mah battery.

Lower resolution. 1920x1080 on a 5 inch (S4) is gonna have higher DPI than a 1920x1080 on a 5.1 inch (S5) which is gonna have lower DPI.

Very large bezels, the S5 bezel is bigger than the S4 and significantly large in comparison to the note 3 bezel (i was expecting note 3 bezel size or smaller).

Bloatware is still there. Chaton, Shealth, seriously? THIS IS BLOATWARE for 90% of samsung users and it eats my battery and i've never even used the thing on my S4, these "potentially fun gimmicks" don't add functionality to your phone! rather hinder it's capabilitys, anything that is for "fun" should be OPTIONAL.

This so called "new ui" is an old ui with a couple of added features (which are crappy features imo, samsung magazine WTF?) i thought i was told this was being debloated not the other way around, adding this bloat wasn't worth losing infinite scroll on the home pages.

Almost guranteed to not have the best processor, samsung wouldn't even tell us what kind of cpu it was, other than it is a snapdragon 800 series, i'm sure everyone and their dog was expecting 2 things from this phone, 2k display & snapdragon 805, my guess is that samsung couldn't impliment the snapdragon 805 into the S5 so that's probly the reason why we didn't get 2k displays, snapdragon 805 was designed for resolutions over 1080p, my guess is we'll see a overclocked snapdragon 801 or 800 in this phone, but only time will tell.

knox built in & probly not rootable

i am just speculating, and this phone could end up being very "awesome" after using it, until then i'm extremly underwhelmed with these specs as this phone seems to be at the bottom of the list compared to everything else that was announced today.

if you say so... everyone said going from 720p to 1080p wouldn't be noticable and let me tell you, going from the S3 720p to the S4 1080p is like night and day, when i click on my old S3 screen i'm disgusted with how it looks and i can't believe i thought that it looked beautiful back then bahahaha, i'm sure the change from 1080p to 2k will be all the same

Samsung! Why new galaxy s5 again with your crap software, why you cannot install Android like on Nexus' devices.

At least give a choose or I will stick with my Nexus 5.

And why I do not see support all carriers around the world?

What is wrong with you Samsung?!

For now, samsung galaxy s5 is dead for me.

pros:

- the best screen with perfect size in entire mobile industry.

- great camera.

- 32 GB internal storage.

- fingerprint sensor.

- nice design (however, again ugly glossy plastic on the sides).

- high enough capacity of battery.

- finally, water & dust resistance (not the IP68 but much better than nothing).

cons:

- very very bad pre-installed software (in my case will be completely deleted at first time of usage).

- crap Samsung software will be again cause of very slow work compare to Nexus' devices.

- no ability to work with any mobile network carriers around the world.

- very bad knox technology.

- perhaps again locked bootloader and root free.

- no ability to get updated directly from Google.

- again reversed and uncomfortable buttons on the front (the best choose do not have at all any buttons on the front).

I'll keep my S3. :(

Kinda ironic, earlier that day some1 posted a pic of a white S5 in the comments somewhere and I instantly dismissed it as either a cheaper version, like galaxy grand, or a chinese knock off (because bezels are too big). I wish Sony the best of luck and everything with Z2, as they finally fixed the display.

Makes me wonder what HTC is cookin up :) sorry Samsung I never liked you haha I had s2 too cheap one drop LCD broke...my s3 held out till I left it on the dash in 115 degree weather with windows up lol I think it burned out...Diddnt bother with the s4 because I wanted a new body design a more rugged durable one so I went with HTC and I have dropped this thing countless times :)

Samsung...I dont wanna pay $450+ for a high definition piece of plastic :) quad core or not :banghead:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mansevolver:
It's lack of drastic external design is what is most disapointing to me. I recall that Samsung admitted the stagnation in their design with the Galaxy S4.

Then they show up with this?

Is it worse then the S4? No. It's an improvement; and increment... A replacement.

Do I want one? Not really. Will I end up with one? Likely...

1Gb less ram then my Note 3. Smaller battery, and apparently worse display?

I'll keep my Note 3.

HTC's unveiling of the replacement for the One, is what I'm looking towards.

If all else fails, I'll grab a G Pro 2.

Just my .2cents.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andrewilley:
I didn't jump from my current S3 to the S4, and I'm not too sure whether the S5 will entice me or not (although I do need to go LTE/4G soon). Removable battery and SD-card slot are vital, so glad those are still present. Couldn't care less about 'Health' stuff (Really? A

Top 5

User Requested Feature?)

I'm also pleased they kept the hardware Home button to wake the phone from the front, but why change the very useful Menu button to a recent apps list??? Long-press on Home for recent apps is perfectly suitable for me, although I rarely use it (whereas I use Menu all the time). Never mind, I'm sure that'll be configurable - if not out of the box then very shortly thereafter.

As for the silly faux-leather hole effect on the back, that's going to be a lovely dirt catcher. And the naff chromed plastic rim around the side just looks like something off a 1950s American car - give me the smooth gently curved contoured edge of the S3 any day, they got it just right with that phone and have been going backwards ever since.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cr4z33:
This.

Honestly I don't see for the S5 that big step compared to the S4 LTE+ (aka GT-I9506).

I think I will sit and wait at this round (perhaps the octacore version with metal frame rumor is true).

Samsung's market research questionnaire which proved that Health features are a Top 5 user-demanded feature:

Which of the following features would you most like on a new phone?

(a) Steam Pressure Gauge

(b) Sea Water Salination Monitor

(c) Integrated Washing Up Brush

(d) Heart Rate Monitor

And oddly, they got a resounding response to (d).

I can't believe they still offer a 16GB variant that has only 8GB available for the user, in the world where Apple has 64/128GB devices... that's just stupid!

Also, the 2GB Ram thing is a total fail, it wasnt enough for i9305 and S4, so i'm preety sure that the lag will make its appearence instantly after powering up the device.

I'm a S series fan, i had all models since the first S, but i think i'll stop at S4 and wait for a Premium version or something with more "juice".

You finnaly done it, Samsung, great way to loose your customers to Apple, congrats!

I can't post directly to the Venom site since I don't have 10 posts so I'll post it here.

I ended up downgrading back to Venom 2.5 because there appears to be an issue with other programs being able to send SMS messages. The question was posted here but appears to have been overlooked. While noticeable for Tasker, it also poses a problem for Pebble users as well as Google Glass (don't know if anyone else uses these but if a dev needs help testing with these two devices I'd be glad to). I'm not sure where the coding issue is but given the applications it's affecting I'd presume it's somewhere in the passing of the information through the broadcast. Please note that I've tried using different default SMS app and it did not make a difference.

Please let me know if I can help in any way for this (I can provide tasker and pebble logs)

You probably sshould just send a direct message to the dev. Making a thread isn't going to do anything.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmfcx:
Hello, I am on a n7100.

I firstly flashed my stock rom 4.1.2 from odin.

My phone works well with stock.

I have downloaded the omega rom v23 from here.

I firstly installed MJ5 Bootloader via Odin 3.9.

Then Flashed "TWRP recovery" via Odin 3.9 again.

I had already put omega rom zip to my external sd card.

So I have wiped all the ways i could ever do from twrp wipe section. (All except external data storage)

Then selected install zip, Omega logo appeared awesome.

I press next, Omega Rom Installation, Full wipe, Install Omega Rom, Default Installation, Next, Install!

It installs everything correctly.

Then, Reboot Device is already ticked, I press End.

Twrp says rebooting...

And Samsung GALAXY Note II GT-N7100 logo comes.

And never goes off. Boot stuck.

Please help me :( i dont know where i am failing at. I made way too much research, tried way too many install orders, please show me the true way...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MdBst:
I think you should try flashing another ROM and see how it goes.. Mine already got stuck at boot because of multiple causes... In my case it was mostly kernel issues... But I dont think that applies for you....
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmfcx:
I had alliance rom v5.2 installed 5 days ago. It has 4.3 interface and note 3 apps aswell. But Omega Rom, I cant install. Now i got 4.3 stock rom. My bootloader updated with knox. Warranty is also 1 :P but still omega rom causes same issue. The thing i wonder is, If i install stock rom with odin, does it also reinstall the original bootloader?

Also, after getting newer stock rom, i cannot flash the mj5 bootloader anymore. It says it is outdated. I guess i have MK9 from now on. And cant go to MJ5. I dont even have no idea anout how to compare them. I am a noob rom flasher. But I am not a noob googler. Even so, I cannot find definite knowledge about MJ5 bootloader:(
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MdBst:
Usually when you flash trough Odin you get the bootloader that comes with the ROM... But perhaps they added some aditional verification or something like that to make sure you don't revert the bootloader to the old one (without knox)... Even then I don't understand why some ROMs work and others don't... Acording to Omega thread you did everything right... Have you ever used Mobile Odin instead of Odin?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xmfcx:
No, I have never tried Moblie Odin.

Edit: I am back on Alliance Rom, i won't probably check here later on, u do not have to reply anymore.
[Ornate TrueSmart] huelvy:
First of all, I apology my English.

I have the 512/4 Truesmart (developer edition) with stock ROM updated with "EnSec Root+Security Patch & Imperium Operative Installer 14/02/21". I updated the Osmart companion app to v 2.0.0 (Ostore) and the Osmart master app too (Google Play last version, not the test version). The problem is: since I applied all those updates, I don´t receive any notification from the phone to the watch. The watch and the phone are correctly paired using bluetooth.

Before the updates, I received all the phone notifications (voice calls, whatsapp, telegram, mail, anydo...).

What could be the problem?

Thanks.
[Ornate TrueSmart] BurnQc:
I have the same problem,

Before the update (Companion & Master), I got Facebook, Google Now, Hangout, ... notification and now I got nothing !

Yes I follow the instruction on Google Play

And Yes I enable the OSmart Message Proxy ...

I did the ping between both device, and I receive a pong message on my cellphone ...

I'm using the Imperium Operative for the Umeox x201 (TrueSmart, AW-414/420, etc..) V1.1.0 on my 1G / 8G Developper Edition...

What's wrong ?

Thanks bro but ...

Sorry but works is already done by the master Sorg ^^

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2621550

look at that : (by mrmrmrmr not by me ^^)

Here is a short description of steps to follow if you want to do the same for other devices:

1. download and install IDA Pro

2. download and install WinHEx

3. download and install any text compare util

4. Open patched and unpatched version lib file of the same device (any device) with IDA

5. get text output of both files to the text compare utility

6. find the 3 differences. analyze where they are in the file (look for seacrhable text patterns)

7. open YOUR device's unpacthed lib file with IDA pro

8. find the correspondances found on step 6 in your own file.

9. note the line number (hex address) of each 3 correspondances

10. now open all 3 files on Winhex

11. jump to the noted hex addresses and change the bytes according to the difference of 2 files of the same device.

12. make the change on your own file and save.

So to do it you have to install 4.4.2 and look libWFD into and change it ^^, i got i9500 MBC, when 4.4.2 MBC will be in the place, i will try to do it, but thats look a little hard for a noob like me ^^ So if you want to do it on the 4.4.2 I9500XXUFNB3 russian, you are welcome

I have followed your instructions and have gotten the pesky little hdcp message on the screen to go away, yet I only get audio on my tv and no picture, just a black screen. I really do not want to unroot my phone to get this working, due to me being on a custom SGH-M919 rom on my SGH-I337.

I followed the instructions on this post to flash the custom rom using Safestrap.

I am a complete newbie in Android.

I am developing an application that sends over a webservice information about the last dialed number, call status, and duration of the call.

The application works perfectly fine, but when the device closes the application the android service does restart but the activity does not.

The way I am sure about that is that I have Toasts when the service is started: "Servicio TRUCKA iniciado" and "Servicio TRUCKA creado" tell me that the service has been created and started.

And when the information is sent to the webservice I have toasts saying: "Enviando información..." and "Información enviada."

But when the application is closed (via the android task manager that automatically closes apps) the messages from the service "Servicio TRUCKA iniciado" and "Servicio TRUCKA creado" do appear, but the toasts from the information sent part do not.

I hope someone can help me and tell what am I doing wrong? :)
