Yeah I have read about the potential update as well, and could not agree more. If this is indeed the case whether or not they are going to enable it with an update later a little communication goes a long ways. Customer service should be first and foremost with any business, especially with as much money as we give these guys.

I cannot stand poor communication....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
Yeah it is.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] kcttocs:
Keep in mind, if you have screaming fast Wi-Fi, the download booster won't kick in. Forgot where I read that. Just an FYI
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] daraj:
what he said.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
Wait really? I have 60 down and by school has 80 down, so it probably wouldn't do anything then.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
So maybe it really does work on our phones then? I only tried it at home with a 60mbps connection on WIFI.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
If it's using Download Booster, it says in the notification dropdown (right under the settings toggles). It'll say how much LTE speed it's using and how much WiFi speed it's using.

If nothing's there, no download boosting is happening.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Right. I had it turned on, but didn't see anything in the notification drop down. However, I read it may not work anyway with a very fast wifi connection. So what I am saying is, I wonder if it works with an average wifi connection and LTE?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
Yeah if Download Booster is present, it'll most likely work with average wifi and LTE. I don't have one though, so I can't test it :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chronicaust:
Gonna test it now with 5 bars LTE and 3.0 Mb/s wifi.

EDIT: Nope, no boosting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
:(

Well, there goes our hope XD

With the T-Mo version having an unlocked bootloader AND Download Booster, I may have to pick up one of those...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] karmuh:
It's a shame TMobile is horrendously bad in my area, otherwise I'd be more than happy to switch to them. But going back to 2G/Edge? Lol, no thanks. Even Verizon is pretty random in my area. AT&T is, unfortunately, the best (and only) option I have.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Nexii:
Can't we just flash a T-Mobile Rom. Or maybe just yank the software portion of it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] milan03:
Such a great user friendly built in tool on T-Mobile variant. Already can't live without it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
The T-Mobile version supports all of AT&T's bands, that's why I mention it XD
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RaptorMD:
So just buy a T-Mobile version full retail, get the unlocked bootloader and enjoy it on AT&T.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] ReggieSmith:
I see a very good reason for disabling it right now... you can't control it other than turning it on and off. So you are on your wifi, downloading a decent sized file or streaming video, and download booster kicks in and starts pulling down on your data connection. So you burn thru your data even faster than normal and for no good reason.

Seems like another niche feature Samsung threw in. T-Mobile is leaving it in because theyes have to. They have to do everything the others won't to try and steal a few customers here and there. But tmo won't be able to afford this sort of thing much longer. Switching to them because of one feature on one handset is madness.

If the feature is that important, and I can't see how it can be since it hasn't existed on cell phones til now, is madness.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Well for anyone that followed my posts in this thread - I am done. My AT&T S5 was defective, and I couldn't justify paying 700 dollars for such a locked down device. For me, root and custom roms and necessary. AT&T has modified too much on this device and that isn't right. Voting with my wallet. I may pick up a T-Mobile S5 and try them out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
Thing is, with the S5's silly region locking a phone has to be activated once on it's own network first to be used internationally (even with an unlock code it will only be usable on US carriers if you don't have it activated on it's own network first).

You'd have to buy a used one or one that someone tried for a short time and didn't like to be able to have it fully unlocked. But then again, international unlocking isn't really that necessary for many (I'd like to have it though).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cwburns32:
Saw you both mentioned the hard menu key... well I know it has been removed but if you do hold down the multi task key it gets you the hard menu instead of having to go to notification panel for settings or use the in app menu button.

Download booster is pointless if you have anything north of 10-15 Mbps. I get 90+ in my house and 60+ at work so it would never kick in for me. It is still BS that AT&T decided to disable it but for MOST GS5 owners it will be a moot point anyhow.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
Yes I am aware of that. I actually am contemplating switching to T-Mobile entirely. I'm sick of AT&T in general. Throttling my data every month, locking down their phones, eliminating key features on a device, no hotspot, no network mode option, ect.. T-Mobile is the only carrier doing it right. So far, they are not to bad by me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
Only issue for me with switching is T-Mobile doesn't get service in my house XD

T-Mobile realizes they're the underdog, and they're correct in doing everything they can to entice customers and make them prefer their services.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] MattMJB0188:
I only have unusable EDGE with T-Mobile at my house. But with Wifi calling, that is not a problem. Everywhere else I travel the service has been good. Not as fast at AT&T LTE, but enough to claim bragging rights haha.

What good is a perfect network when I can't use it to its fullest potential? What good is buying an AT&T S5 when I can't even root it or load my own roms on it?

Nothing will change with AT&T, they'll only get worse. Taking download booster off the S5 is enough! More customers do need to switch to T-Mobile. The more they can get, the faster they can build out their network. I am glad they plan to upgrade EDGE.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SolarTrans:
Yep! T-Mobile is doing everything right as the underdog. WiFi calling is awesome.

Another big problem is, even with a Netgear R700, I don't get wifi everywhere in my house. With our insulation, there's essentially 4 pieces of aluminum foil in each of the walls, floors, and ceilings. I use my 2-3 bars of HSPA+ anywhere but my room. Verizon and AT&T are the only carriers that get some service in my house (while all carriers get full LTE bars right outside XD), and GPE phones don't support Verizon. I'm kinda stuck...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Fidelio_o:
Not that I'm against it, but I personally don't care to much about download booster. The less data comes out of my plan the better. Not trying to download any big files on data anyway. Why we have wifi.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] galaxy s4 nutjob:
SCREAM!!!!!! MOAN!!!!! WTF THIS IS COMMUNISM I really hope they change their mind on AT&T ASAP!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] zoso28:
So the download booster feature is there, and the nova shortcut works to "turn it on", but there is a line or two of code that will have to be modified to make it work on at&t/verizon once we have root..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sk8trix:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] zoso28:
I have to send my demo note 3 back to Samsung soon & I'm buying a T-Mo note 3 to use for my pers phone until I can root the s5 they send me. No root=unusable
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] oldblue910:
No offense, my friend, but if your phone is "unusable" without root access, you're doing it wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sk8trix:
Totally agree. Look, its nice to have root and roms and all that good stuff. But seriously dude buy a phone for what it is not for what u hope it will be. Don't be a tool just enjoy your phone or sell it and get something else if all you want is root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] :
now that we have achieved Root. Does anyone know how to unhide the Download Booster.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chronicaust:
apparently doing so only requires replacing 4 files, however I'd be willing to bet that attempting to do so while booted into android would cause a serious soft brick

system > framework > services.jar

system > framework > services .odex

system > priv-app > SecSettings.apk

system > priv-app > SecSettings.odex

successfully replace those and bam it should work, I wonder if Flash Gordon would work (DO NOT RECOMMEND BEING THE FIRST ONE TO TEST THIS)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cerobles1:
Well, to unhide it, pull down your notification panel, then click on Download Booster, and click on Turn on Mobile Data, and wah-lah!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chronicaust:
That's interesting! But we want it to actually work.

Does yours work?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
Mine don't show up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cerobles1:
You have to add it to the notification panel. It does not seem to work though, but at least you know it can be added.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
Mine isn't in my setting to add to the notification panel. Oh well I'll just wait and keep watching for a fix for it. thanks for your help though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chronicaust:
I believe the changes were made primarily to the Classes.dex file, and I'm about to open it up and compare what that guy has vs what my phone has. Hopefully It'll be obvious xD

I hear ya. Just don't wanna screw this phone up like I just did my note 2. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chronicaust:
I think I'm close = O
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chronicaust:
Okay so I'm fairly certain it deals with the smartbondingservice.smali file. Here's why, my phones file has MULTIPLE mentions of the feature being disabled, even though most of the code is there. Whereas the other one has ZERO mentions. So I'm going to look into repacking this and just swap the file and cross my fingers. Worst case scenario, my Download Booster still won't work xD.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
You are on the right track. I use nova launcher and if you add the shortcut to the download booster it mentions that it is in some bonding folder or something. Your getting close.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chronicaust:
Successfully copied the file to my phone and didn't break it haha. I just used ES File Explorer.

Gonna play around a little bit with it and see if there's any change.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] FilthyFord:
Hell yea. Let me know if it works. If so give a walk through on how to do it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chronicaust:
So I used the SecSettings.odex file from the Sprint thread, copied that. Then when I overwrote the services.odex file from his thread my phone immediately shut off and optimized all my apps. Still no download booster, and the weirdest thing imo is that it's not even in my settings even though I have the correct app O_o.

The only thing I haven't copied is his entire Services.jar and I don't feel safe doing that yet xD
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Cod3L1ne:

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DetectiveDave:
Hello All,

I just got a LG Nexus 5 a couple months ago- I ran stock for the first several months and loved it, but wanted to take advantage of the services provided from custom ROMS and change-up the look of the stock google UI.

I made the mistake of not testing various things with the stock ROM and kernel for reference against the custom software I've installed- so I have no idea of how my phone was "running" before I changed it up. (Benchmark scores, CPU temp, Battery life, Battery Temp, ETC)

-so I have no idea if my phone was acting like this before I rooted.

TLTR-

In my FKU app I've enabled CPU temp monitoring and have noticed that this thing is running at rediculous temperatures:

39-43 Celsius when in pocket

45-55 When Browsing Web/Facebook/Snapchat

55-79 When playing 3D games (Giant Boulder of Death) or Benchmarking

THIS SEEMS DANGEROUS.

Apart from the slim chance of a small electrical fire igniting in my pocket whist on my way to get a burger, I'm concerned that my CPU is going to burn-out on me!

I've browsed these forums quite a bit and have seen (somewhat) similar threads about heat problems- but none pertaining to CPU overheating specifically.

I should probably add...

Currently Running:

Android 4.4.2

SlimKat 4.4.2 OFFICIAL-3080

Franco Kernel r37

Updated Bionic & Dalvik libraries

Has anyone experienced anything similar to whats going on with me?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DREWHAMM974:
These temps are fine. Your phone has a safety shut off at 99 and honestly there are some of is that turn thermal throttle off and hit that limit during benchmarks very regular. 79° isn't anything to worry about, your phone is fine. If it bothers you that much use FKU app to lower your temp for the thermal throttle but there's nothing to worry about here. Just ask [MENTION=1811927]simms22[/MENTION]
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] datallboy:
I get around these temperature usually too. When on the wireless charger it overheated so I went back in kernel settings and put thermal throttling back to stock

If you're running a custom kernel I'd recommend keeping with stock thermal throttling.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hammer_Of_The_Gods:
Hi,

Nothing dangerous, normal to have some heat with a quadcore CPU running at 2.26 Ghz, enclosed and without any hardware thermal cooling.

This temperature is "normal" while playing heavy games (3D games) or while benchmarking.

In any case there is a thermal protection, thermal throttling and in case of extreme heat: shutdown. This CPU can go at 100°C before shutdown so...

You can underclock or set different thermal settings with Franco kernel.

There is already a bunch of threads about that, even about CPU temp, read them closely.

:)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
yup, very normal. if those temps are too warm for you, use your phone in a freezer or just stop using the phone(just kidding). but yea, youre fine with nothing to worry about.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vincent Law:
It should be noted that it'll actually start to automatically downclock itself after it hits 70C in order to maintain thermal integrity. Many, many phones do this, that's why long term benchmarks start off really fast, and then slow down.

Hello,

I am in need of call recording on my T-Mobile S4.

When I had CM 10.1 I download an app from the app store and was immediately recording both sides of the conversation. Now that I am running stock T-Mobile rom I am only able to record my side of the call.

What is the solution ?

Thank you,

Mike
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devilsdouble:
ACR gives me both side recording. What's the app you are using?

If CM had no problem in recording then Stock ROM shouldn't have either!

PS : Could it be your carrier blocking something? T-Mobile I mean?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaswinky:
CM doesn't allow full duplex recording, same happen in s2, it is a known issue. Stock rom allow it with no problems.

Every call recorder I have tried only records one side of the call. When I had CM10.1 this was not the case. Not sure what the problem is.

Oddly enough on my stock s3 call recording works perfectly.

The app I loved when I had cm10.1 was Call Recorder by Sethi Apps.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoddex:
Not sure about the firmware restriction... stock rom on s4 records both sides.

I use ACR, is the best to me
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaswinky:
Yes, in S2 also worked full duplex recording in CM10, but it doesn't in CM11. In S4 it works ok with stock ROM and stock based ROMs. The problem, I repeat, could be CM11. In s2 it is a known issue pending to fix, I assume in S4 same happen even it is not writen in CM11 S4 known issue wiki.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriharikaranth@gmail.com:
The restriction is not with the mobile but with Android OS version. Both side call recording might work for some days and after you upgrade your OS it might stop working. To record both side use Speaker mode during call. I am a Android Developer myself and have created a call recorder software called "Spy Call Recorder" in TrackMyPhone website.

Furthermore, the rom doesn't support many devices, but Nexus 4 of course ;) http://www.goo.im/devs/beanstalk

I use AK Kernel and Philz Touch Recovery but you can test every cm (caf) kernel you want
