a.k.a Defender Series Realtree for Samsung GALAXY S5
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] mrossi24:
Has anyone used the spigen slim armour view case and is it any good?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Cowboyup65:
I completely agree, I used one one my HTC EVO and it protected it so well, it still looks like new. So when we got the S5, it really wasn't a big choice. In fact I ordered them so the phones and cases showed within days of each other. Otterbox has great customer service with me to since I broke my EVO clip, called them, they sent me 3 more no charge.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] estoydadude:
Try UNU's Unity battery case for s5

it is said to be one of the top 10 S5 acessories:

"The highly simplistic and basic looking UNU Unity battery case comes with an inbuilt high capacity 2800 mAh Lithium Ion battery which nearly doubles the existing battery life of your device making it one of the most important Samsung Galaxy S5 accessories ever. The case is very well designed and although it compromises on the thickness of the device, it seamlessly gels in with the Galaxy S5 making it its own. With the additional battery being a rapid charge model, it does not add up to the existing charging time of the original Samsung S5 battery and sometimes the user would not even realize that he is charging two batteries simultaneously rather than just the one. Apart from the increased battery life, the battery case provides much needed protection from smudges, accidental falls and unintentional misuse."
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Franzie3:
I don't recommend them anymore.. I had serious GPS and signal issues while using them. Possibly because of the aluminum frame. It was noticeably worse in areas where I would have only 2 bars of LTE and it would toggle back and forth...gps would go wonky all the time while driving using maps or playing ingress
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] pr1vate piles:
Based on recommendations on here, went for two "proper" case's for my S5. I say proper as it's first time buying a branded case as appose to buying off of ebay.

For work I've ordered the Otterbox Defender. True is adds a lot of bulk to the phone, but working in a workshop, i need the phone to be safe. I also do a lot of hiking so again the defender is the best option imo.

For when i'm out and about I went for the Spigen Neo Hybrid in blue. Love the shade of blue they use and the phone feels great in it.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] FlatOutRU:
I just have genuine s-cover and it seems good!

Has anyone tried out the spigen credit card holder case?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] imsuperjp:
I picked up the Case-Mate Wallet Folio case and love it so far

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Juno-First:
Just got this from P4U £35 in UK.

Its a pukka Samsung case. Replaces original S5 back and still maintains water proofing. A good feature is it makes the power button redundant as opening/closing back powers the device. Not impressed with window quality as had scratches from an unopened new box.

I haven't tried the spigen cc one but I have the otter cc one and love it. Was disappointed speck hadn't made there's yet for this one I had on the s4 bit now I kinda like the otter just as well.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] govtcheez:
I've now tried two cases. One was the Spigen Neo Hybrid case, which is awesome in terms of quality, feel and looks, but makes the phone really wide. I've since gone to a much simpler Diztronic one, which is the case I've used for my last two phones and am much happier with the thinner profile.

In related note, if anyone wants a cheap Spigen Neo Hybrid, hit me up. I'd probably sell it for like $10+ shipping.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] alxrock:
Otterbox Commuter is always my top pick.

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ljv:
Got the Spigen neo hybrid and the Slim Armor. Both looked and fit great. Unfortunately I can't use either. The neo made the phone too big/wide for my small hands. The slim was just way too slippery. Going caseless right now until the Ditztronic matte black comes in. If that doesn't work just going to go caseless like I did my s4.

if I plug in my earbud into my note 2, and put into one (not both) earbud into my ear, I can use the cable to swipe the screen.
[Galaxy Note II General] ParanoidARG:
It's just the way capacitive screens work. The cable in your earphones is conducting some charge and the screen reacts to it as it does with the current in your fingertips.

[Galaxy Note II General] manekbhavin:
Try this, hold a metal object between your fingers and try to use the touch screen by tapping the metal object on it. It will kinda work. Try the same with a plastic object and it wont. With capacitive screens, it's all about conducting the tiny electric charge
[Google Chromecast] toomuchespresso:
This is a general fix for the common problem of Chromecast connecting to your wifi but not accessing the internet. On my connection the Chromecast would work sporadically and then drop. I have two Buffalo routers with one as a wireless bridge and both running DD-WRT. All I had to do was set the DNS to Google's servers, 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4.
[Google Chromecast] EarlyMon:
I didn't have that problem but I had to set mine the same way to access my favorite gun and cooking sites.

One day, my ISP simply could not resolve their names - and I know that the servers are not involved in anything nefarious.

I think a lot of ISPs can be explained by Hanlon's razor .
[Google Chromecast] bhiga:
Every now and again ISPs have DNS issues. Happens to Comcast every few months as well.
[Sony Xperia M] metalftw7:
Hi,after updating my Sony Xperia M to 4.3 Jelly Bean using Sony PC Companion,Framaroot (1.9.1) doesn't work it says failed try another exploit if available,What should i do? the Gandalf exploit doesn't work anymore after the 4.3 update,Now i'm planning to try another available exploit called Aragorn,Is it safe to use on 4.3? And if not what rooting tool should i use to gain root access again on my Sony Xperia M (C1905)

Please help.

Thanks. :)
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
All currently available root methods doesn't work in 4.3 update at the moment...
[Sony Xperia M] metalftw7:
Oh ok Thanks. I guess that i'll have to wait for the new method that will work on 4.3, When will it be available?
[Sony Xperia M] gamer649:
Nobody knows, we will have to wait and see.
[Sony Xperia M] harrymason37:
doesn't work in xperia v 4.3 too
[Sony Xperia M] metalftw7:
I hope that the devs will make an exploit that will work on 4.3 The next couple of weeks,Having no root access is a disadvantage especially for us. ( Xperia M users) Because of the low internal memory problem we can't play hd games with big data files,The solution that i found for that is rooting and Using Directory Binder from Lucky Patcher and another problem is those battery hogging bloatwares,We can't remove those bloatwares because we don't have a root access,I noticed that after i updated to 4.3,The battery drains fast,And i think it's because of those damn bloatwares.
[Sony Xperia M] asdcxz1:
For now just disable the boaltware which u do not need .. That is what we can do do with our root :p
[Sony Xperia M] haresh311999:
Hey mate wait for some hour i have successfully rooted my Xperia M 4.3 and i am going to create a new guide to root the device...

Off Topic:Hey guys i found a subtitle settings on the movies settings,Any idea on how to make the subtitles work on movies?
[Sony Xperia M] metalftw7:
Off topic:Hey guys i just want to share what i discovered to speed up our device

Disable animations

A hidden settings option in Android will give you access

to commands you may have never known existed. Go to

Settings, About Phone, scroll down to Build number, and

tap it seven times. You will now have access to

developer options. These special settings allow you to

do a variety of things, but they are meant for advanced

users and shouldn't be changed unless you know what

you are doing.

One tweak that could speed up your device is disabling

animations within the operating system. To do this, open

Settings, go to Developer options, and scroll down to

the Drawing option. Next, turn off the Window animation

scale, Transition animation scale, and Animator duration

scale. This will disable animations that occur when you

open, close, and switch between apps. Although the

interface will look less polished, there should be less lag

in performance.

Note:Works on other devices too.
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
If you don't want to wait for a root method, then just unlock your bootloader. This will make your /system partition writable, and then you can just use SuperSU to instal the su binary...
[Sony Xperia M] harrymason37:
then I will lose Bravia engine
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
Well, Xperia M doesn't come with Bravia Engine oficially, but yes, you'll lose Bravia Engine, TrackID and Download music/video info functionality from Movies/Walkman app, along with other proprietary Sony features that I don't remember now.

BUT you can make a TA backup, enjoy root from unlocked bootloader, and when a working root method for locked bootloaders arrive, you restore your TA backup to relock your BL and get the proprietary Sony features back...

I still prefer to wait for a new root method, but there's always a method (although hard) to get root without waiting for new exploits ;)
[Sony Xperia M] Droidlover123:
Lol xm don't have bravia engine:p:rolleyes:
[Sony Xperia M] harrymason37:
sorry for my mistake im using different model (I will not mention it I dont want to pollute the thread) it's almost the same, I will lose something valuable if I unlock bootloader without backup.
[Sony Xperia M] metalftw7:
Let's just wait for that new exploit.
[Sony Xperia M] the gladiator:
Nice but...an heads-up: I strongly suspect that as soon as you unlock the bootloader you void your warranty (actually to unlock you have to communicate to Sony your IMEI); it doesn't matter if you then come back locking again
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
Who cares about warranty? :laugh:

[Sony Xperia M] RastamanaFly:
Hello guys, is there any final method for rooting c1905 on version 4.3 i liked framaroot cause it's simple to use....
[Sony Xperia M] theperson333:
Do we lose TrackID? I managed to download it from google play on an s3 mini and it worked. If so, why would BLU stop it working? Is there something that I'm missing?

[MENTION=5604590]mbc07[/MENTION] I'm not trying to say you are wrong. Just asking to make sure! :highfive:

Just to add to the list, BLU means OTA may brick your device, but if you BLU, It's for a reason.:D
[Sony Xperia M] mbc07:
I've never tried but I read somewhere that although TrackID can be downloaded from Play Store it has some unique features that only show when installed in a Xperia device with locked bootloaders (I don't know which features nor if that's true)...
[Sony Xperia M] theperson333:
Thanks for the heads up!
[Sony Xperia M] Se7enTime:
I use Flashing 4.3 with kernel contain CWM Recovery and then instal .zip SuperSU in recovery mode :D

According to reports and specs those models don't have WCDMA AWS just like last years model. I can't believe HTC can't release a single GSM model with all the radios like Nexus 5 or iPhone 5s. I don't know what's wrong with them, it will be easier for them only to have one model.

Just wanted to let you guys know about this promotion going on right now from a company called jlabs audio. They make great products for the price. I have a pair of their earbuds and the sound can't be beat at their price-point. I've ordered one hoping to get a desk speaker for work but, honestly, even a pair of their headphones for $7.50 (including shipping) is a great deal.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ltermt:
The ATT Samsung Galaxy S3(I747) has the Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 plus MSM 8960 processor. The Qualcomm MSM 8960 is capable of supporting LTE band 17, Band 4(AWS), Band 2 and Band 5. ATT has now launched Band 2 in NYC and Band 5 in the Midwest.

The S3 only supports LTE Band 17 and LTE Band 4(AWS).

Q1. Is there firmware that will make this device support LTE band2 and LTE band 5?

Q2. Is there a SW to make VOLTE calls using the S3?

I am looking to unlock LTE band 2 and LTE band 5 on my ATT GS3.

Hello.

I own a Moto G (Global GSM) running CyanogenMod 11 rooted with TWRP recovery and the bootloader is unlocked. I have been trying to go back to the stock firmware using this guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2542219 but I have a problem. The adb drivers for my device work fine when I am in the system or in the recovery, but don't work in the bootloader. I am able to type "adb reboot bootloader" when I'm in the system/recovery and it will follow the command, but once I get into the bootloader it stops. When I type "adb devices" a line saying "List of devices attached" comes up with nothing underneath it.

I am completely lost and would greatly appreciate any help. Also I am new to XDA.

Thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhaseBeta:
When you are in bootloader you have to use fastboot. Type 'fastboot devices' and you'll see the connected device. Refer this guide "[Guide] How To Setup And Use Fastboot" for more info: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277112

Have you enabled 'USB Debugging' in Settings and allowed your computer to access it?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekokelly:
Yes, I did. It has something to do with the ROM that I was on. For some reason, it won't recognise my device anymore, no matter what ROM I use. It doesn't really bother me though, there's plenty of ways to do things nowadays. :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es0tericcha0s:
USB Debugging nor the rom have anything to do with fastboot.

Are you using a Windows PC? If so, when in bootloader mode, check your Device Manager and see if the driver is loading correctly. If it isn't, it'll have a yellow exclamation symbol next to it. If that's the case, you'll just need to manually load the driver from there.

Since this upgrade I can't do more than one GPRS connection, next time I want to connect, I've got the error message : "the modem was disconnected...."

Verizon does in NYC. You need the right flash.
[HTC Droid DNA] GamerXavier:
I bought a phone pre-flashed to Verizon prepaid off of Craigslist. I am unsure how to flash and lost the person's number. So, could anybody direct me to a site for a walk through for the Flash process. I'm still looking into it and so far I've found the name of a software "QPST" and a google search leads me mostly to discussion about it in use, rather than how to use and if I will need anything more.

I'd like to do Flash another phone as well as if possible remove this phone's flash update it it (for KitKat) then flash it again. As it seems I cannot update otherwise.

Update: I've recently read about CDMA workshop. Still looking for a download link though, not going to pay $200 for something like this.
[HTC Droid DNA] RLGL:
There are numerous threads as how to Change the software on the phone. Use the search feature and learn a little while you are at it. Study the processes and the requirements each has. All the information you need is in this forum and is FREE. All you need to do is invest some time and effort. Read the threads and you will learn from the mistakes of others.

This is not an easy unit to work with.
[HTC Droid DNA] GamerXavier:
I'm sorry I believe perhaps I used the wrong term. That was what the person said this was called a flash. Nevertheless, this is far more than just a software change. This flash used has allowed my smartphone on the Verizon prepaid network and to utilize the 3G network at an unlimited, unthrottled rate. I'm pretty sure this change involves the IMEI number.
[HTC Droid DNA] RLGL:
Is the phone rooted?

Go to >settings>about phone and give us the software, version, android version, baseband and kernel .

with that we can figure out what you have
[HTC Droid DNA] GamerXavier:
Yes it is rooted.

Android Version: 4.1.1

Software number 2.06.605.1 710RD

HTC SDK API 4.63

Kernel Version

3.4.10-ga02d2c6

root@abm018#1

SMP PREEMPT

Baseband Version

1.01.04.0308

2.06.605.1 CL147796 release-keys

Note: The reason I mention this has to do with IMEI is on the LTE application it shows a different number versus what is on the back sticker and under phone information.
[HTC Droid DNA] RLGL:
Should not be that big of a deal. you need a working SDK on your computer for a KitKat rom the recovery on the phone needs to be TWRP 2.6 beta or possibly 2.7 will work Try following the stickey at the head of the Q&A . There are also other threads that can guide you.
