[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
I wouldn't judge it on hardware cause it's too close.

S801 vs S800

16 mp camera vs 13 mp

2800mah vs 3200mah ?

2 GB of Ram vs 3 GB of ram

No spen vs S pen

Heart rate monitor vs none

Water resistant vs not

Based on that I can't say the S5 is superior.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
When u said hardware you meant SoC...I see. Is it that drastic of a difference? Cause when you look at the whole picture I don't see S5 > Note 3 (considering the battery, ram, features, camera, SoC...). But if SoC only then yeah the S5 has the upper hand.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degast:
The S5 has features the Note 3 can't offer: heart rate sensor, brighter screen, newer SoC, improved camera.

Edit: I didn't mean drastic improvements. Every single phone released for the coming 10 years will be minor improvements on the last version.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
[MENTION=1250820]degast[/MENTION] yeah. But one can argue the other way around. The note 3 offers features that the S5 can't offer: S pen ( which is actually more useful than a heart rate monitor), better battery life, 3 GB of Ram, bigger display.

Because both phones offer different things we can't say that the S5 is better or the note 3 is better, all subjective. Many note 3 owners think going to an S5 is a downgrade because they will lose battery life, the s pen and the extra ram.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degast:
Well you're getting my point! S line has specific features, Note line does. There isn't really a 'better' line.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Yep. But wasn't it you earlier who said S5 > note 3, Note 4 > S5?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] degast:
Sarcasm ;)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Got it :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RaptorMD:
The S line comes out with updates that later arrive on the Note line so technically speaking comparing last years model to this years model is not a fair comparison. If you look at this years Note 4 vs GS5 then you can have a comparison. I am still on the fence with getting the Note 3 and then upgrading to the Note 4 or getting the S5 and upgrading to the Note 4. Different needs at different times.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ballsofsteel:
You can't say a comparison is invalid because they are not releasd in the same year. For example, a Nov 2013 device may well be compared to a Jan 2014 device, but A Feb 2014 device shouldn't be expected to be on a level playing field as a Dec 2014 device when compared.

The S line and the note line are released roughly 6 months apart. There will never be a 'fair comparison' in this case, because a new release usually eclipses the immediate predecessor (though myself and many others have reservations of whether the S5 is actually better than note 3).
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
Ppl that have actually held and played with the device said it is snappy. Im guessing you had a bad unit?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Simonna:
I remember those days when I had Galaxy S3 with only 1Gb of RAM, and had only 30MB of RAM free,and it worked smoothly.So it's wouldn't be fair to compare smartphone with PC, if on PC you would have only 30MB of RAM free it would lag a lot.

Now I have Nexus 5, and never have any problems with its 2GB of RAM,because to run a lot of apps in background not a great idea for me, I'm just usually forgetting about them running in background,because I'm mainly concentrating to the app which I'm using now.

but my tablet (especially with Windows) would have minimum 4GB of RAM,because on bigger screen it's much more comfortable to multitask.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
There are two sides to every story though. Maybe the people who say TouchWiz doesn't lag haven't used a recent Nexus device. I won't say here which I think is correct, but food for thought.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
The note 3 does not lag at all, so I'm not sure what you're trying to say. The S4 does lag.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
Everyone is entitled to an opinion... that's yours. :good:
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barondebxl:
I don't know, when I read this it seems that Youre implying that those who haven't use a nexus can't tell the difference between lag and no lag. I used the nexus 5 for awhile, the smoothest android device to date no doubt. But touchwiz does not lag on the note 3. Fact.

[LG Optimus 2x] kuudou:
I'm thinking about rooting and flashing my vanilla LG-P999 (Wind Mobile version, which I understand is identical to the T-mobile LG Optimus 2X or something.

Nothing fancy, I just want to upgrade to at least 2.3.3 version of Android so I can use some apps that aren't completely archaic. From the digging around I've done it seems like CM7 is the best way to go for my phone, and a video tutorial I've found (I'll link below) outlines how I can root my phone with SuperOneClick and flash to CM7.

Now this is my first time doing anything of the sort, so I'm quite nervous. Please bear with my newbie questions:

- As I understand it, flashing to CM7 requires rooting my phone. The video tutorial (watch?v=yH3qKLXqdSg, I can't post external links so this is the best I can do) outlines the procedure for a LG-P990 using SuperOneClick, whereas my phone is a LG-P999. I'm assuming that it shouldn't be a problem?

- I only want to upgrade my phone to Android 2.3.3 (it's the stock 2.2.2 right now). Another forum told me that CM7 is the most stable "mod" to flash to to accomplish this. Did I understand that right or does CM7 do something else entirely? I was trying to check out the CM wiki but that apparently no longer exists.

If anyone has a more updated method or any other recommendations it would be great if you can help. If this is a redundant thread please delete this thread and point me in the right direction. Much thanks.
[LG Optimus 2x] irotas:
SuperOneClick should work with your phone. If you only want the newer Android version, I believe there should also be an LG upgrade available to 2.3.4 for your phone. So, rooting is not a must, but on P990 CM7 is quite nice compared to stock :D

For more information you might want to try this forum, which is specifically for your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hexicidal:
I received a like new device from ATT, that one was dead on arrival. I then requested a new one, and this one can not receive/send pictures correctly. Persay I download an image and wish to attach it in an MMS through the default messaging, it prompts me with the error of "Unsupported Media Type - Select different media". This is for everything from JPEG, JPG, PNG, and videos too. This only affects downloaded images, I can send images I took with my phone's camera. If someone sends me an image too, I receive what seems to be the stock error image. I can yet save these images, and the image is there in my gallery's thumbnail, but it is still the error image on the larger version, or when I click on it.

Could someone assist me with this problem? I truly don't want to send off another S4 to ATT. I reformatted the phone, and reformatted my SD card too.

Hello guys,

I was able to successfully updated to JB 4.1.2 BhekBhek ROM from ICS, after rooting and installing CWM. Unfortunately the phone never booted up due to some error resulting into a boot loop. I was able to deal with the boot loop issue and up date the phone at the same time by installing v20d JB 4.1.2 using KDZ software updater. I have tried rooting the phone using a number of methods but to no success. I thus don't have SuperSU installed and the phone isn't rooted. Please help! What should I do to re-root the phone again?

Hello,

I've done some searching and I can't seem to find a solid answer.

I am wanting the LED notification light to fade in and fade out on certain activities, like charging, etc. I've seen some posts where STweaks will work, however for my Tmo SGH-T999 running Android 4.3, this doesn't work.

Anyone have any ideas?

Dkp kernel does fading on notifications
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] johnathanamber:
Thanks for the reply.

Sorry, I'm not as familiar with the Android platform. I assume that I'd have to flash to a different ROM to do this? I know that there seems to be some sort of capabilities with the stock ROM since when I reboot, the LED does fade in and out with a bluish tint.

Using the XDA Developers app... OH YEAH!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
You can keep the same ROM, just flash dkp kernel and you're good to go!

Ok. So, do I use the Odin program just like when using it to root the phone?

Using the XDA Developers app... OH YEAH!!!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
No, you need a custom recovery like twrp or cwm
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I do believe Mobile Odin Pro does flash anything you want. Roms, Kernels, mods & Modems are included.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] serio22:
I know there's a few things you can flash but I don't know if it does flashable zips because I've never tried it, I guess it couldn't hurt to try
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Mobile Odin does flash zip files. It can basically do everything a custom recovery can do, except nandroid backups. (I wish it could, then I'd have no real need for cwm/twrp!)
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Perseus:
I think it executes Open Recovery Script. So it will not be effective with Stock Recovery.

4.4.2 call screen has a mistake. In 4.3 and all other TW roms, when the phone is dialing the top part with the name is in grey then turns green once answered. That's how you know that the call was picked up by looking at the phone. Now and 4.4 .2 it stays green the whole time making it difficult for me to know if someone's answered by looking at the phone.

But fixed finally

1/step: dowloand single csc firmware, example 3 ireland has single csc perfect for this issue.

2/step: install 3 ireland firmware via odin.

3/step: after finishing full wipe resetting the device

Complete full setup and finish everything

4/step: than download btu firmware and instal via odin

Wait for finish then when you see first samsung logo on the screen pull out the battery wait for 5to10 second then put batery back and start with recovery mode and fully reset the device

Then boot device normally, you'll have btu csc on the device

If I want to get the original ITV CSC do I need to do something else?

[Galaxy Note 3 General] ValenteL:
"Successfully applied ITV CSC" mean You have by default ITV from Your Rom before on file /efs/imei/mps_code dat. Is from here the csc is applied by Stock Recovery where it need.

On this file /mps_code.dat is installed the CSC by default from all Clean install Roms (full wiped before).

Then, You installed the NB7 BTU Rom, but this Rom have also the ITV. This CSC is installed well because Your default ITV on /mps_code.dat.

[Nexus 5 General] haltemien:
Hi!

If you look at the nexus logo on the back cover, you will notice that there is some sort of shiny material inside it. This material is glued on inside the letters. Seems like this was some very cheap glue, because Ive lost all mine. This is gonna happend with my friends phone aswell, as he noticed recently that his letters are "jiggly", and prone to fall out soon.

Ive contacted LG in Scandinavia, and they confirmed that this was something they where not aware off, and most likely is not a production error, and therefor not covered by the warrenty. This baffels me, because there was some media coverage about this problem shorty after the nexus 5 was launched. But I cant find any recent articels on the subject.

I feel like it's not worth sending the phone to LGs repair station, because they will most likely just send it back to me, with a message that it's not theyre fault, and charge me for the device check.

Would be nice if they could atleast send me a new back cover...

Anyway, I suspect that the reason that the glue lost its hold, might be because of the wireless charger. I got one about a month ago, and the problem started shorty thereafter. Is LG producing the OEM nexus charger aswell? Could they just blame it on the use of "unofficial" LG charger?

Anyone else lost the letters, or havent noticed it yet? When the letters are gone the letters are just like the rest of the back cover. AKA not shiny.

Cheers!
[Nexus 5 General] Citizen_Snips:
Honestly I didn't even notice they were shiny lol. I just checked and mine are fine, but then again I bought a case for the N5 before I had the N5. It's been in it since day 1. Still perfect tho.
[Nexus 5 General] CH3ck0r:
I also noticed, that one of my letters remained on the wireless charger. But I lost all of them now, and only the second one was on the wireless charger. I barely even notice that the letters are a bit less shiny now, so to me this would not be worth the fuzz
[Nexus 5 General] d_phekt:
I had this happen a month or so ago and just decided to pick them all out. In case some of you don't realize.. There is a tiny bit of adhesive left behind after the shiny part of the stickers fall out. The leftover adhesive strips can easily be removed using an xacto knife or even a toothpick. IMHO it looks better without the glossy letters.
[Nexus 5 General] OuncE718:
Its possible that steam from a hot shower can cause the glue to weaken and the letters to fall off.

On another note I always take my phone in the bathroom with me when I shower and it gets pretty steamy in there but my letters are still intact.

Eventually I won't be so lucky.
