Good news is that the Kies update seemed to work, and now LTE shows in my available network types. But Android is still 4.2.2. Kies says I'm up to date and hitting check for an OTA says the same thing. As expected I lost root. Should I keep scanning for an update?

If kies fail you should use Odin to install your stock ROM, but a good option would be root you phone again, install a custom recovery and then install a custom ROM

where did it go?

Hi all, i have searched all over for these and cant seem to find them... hopefully someone here can help.

I am coming from the S4 Active.

Where did the Briefing alarm clock option go? it was an option in the stock alarm clock where it would read out the title, weather, news, for the alarm.

Where did the torch light option go? it was an option in the settings under device to be able to turn on the flashlight/torchlight option using just the volume up key.

both of these came stock in my S4 Active..... and i miss them :crying:

If you don't want any network traffic at this state, try to setup the phone without the SIM card for the first time ... and put in the SIM card later, when you can "control" the network traffic.

Hi there, if I install a custom recovery only (no SuperSu, no custom rom/kernel) will I trigger Knox?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
What version are you using? It all depends on your bootloader.. if on Verizon or ATT, you can only install Safestrap for recovery, which will not trip Knox. SuperSu does not trip Knox even on locked bootloader models, neither do custom roms if they are TouchWiz-based. Only a custom rom that is not TW-based, a custom kernel, or a custom recovery (other than Safestrap) will trip Knox.

Please read this thread: S5 Firmware Thread

You have to flash a stock firmware with Odin to your phone to get back a running system.

No root needed. Only a (Windows) PC (with Samsung USB drivers), USB port, USB cable, Odin and the downloaded stock firmware you want to install.

If you have issues, you can ask here or in the S5 Firmware thread.

Best battery for S5 (With longest life)

are you rooted? if so i know for sure betterbatterystats can generate a dump file to post here, not entirely sure about gsam (if you're not rooted i believe that's what you'll need to use) but i am assuming it can do the same, if not at least you can find if it is a wakelock issue and report back here to try to find a fix, or if it isn't a wakelock issue you can narrow it down, try to figure out if it's the phone itself or a defective battery.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrongway213:
honestly not sure, install betterbatterystats when you get a chance and let it run a while, then get a .json dump file of your partial wakelocks and post it here.. someone will likely be able to make sense of it. if you have a partial wakelock or kernel wakelock that's up in the hours (other than phone), that is likely your issue and you may not even need a dump file, but if no one wakelock is the clear problem a dump file would probably help some of the guys here with more experience than myself to find your issue, if it is indeed something that can be fixed.

MOAR v2.1 NE5 Can't delete Huge Hidden files. Only 3 gb device memory is free

Hello. I'm Frank. In Settings>Storage, it says my 16 gb device memory has only 3 gb free.

Before I went from stock to MOAR, there was a lot more free space.

I'm running Philz recovery. In the past, I put image backups in device sd (and some on external sd, too).

Is it possible that a backup is still hidden on device? If so, I can't see it with a file manager set to show hidden files. and Phils can't find it.

I could have moved a backup into a non-clockworkmod backup location, but I'm not sure.

Your phone is constantly awake, never goes into deep sleep. Can I see a screenshot of partial wakelock screen and kernel wakelock screen? I don't really know what I'm doing with dump files, but I might be able to point you in the right direction if I can see what wakelock is causing your phone to stay awake 100% of the time.. I'm gonna go ahead and guess your battery itself is not the problem as any battery wil drain if your device is awake 100% of the time.

i've never heard of a live wallpaper doing something like that.. if you're losing more than 2% an hour when not using the phone, there's an issue.. if you let your phone idle for an hour and lose 2% or less, it's likely that wallpaper was your issue.. i have a hard time imagining that a live wallpaper could do that but i could be wrong. what kind of battery life are you getting now? if it's all good, no need for screenshots as that must have been your problem, if not yeah please provide screens and we can figure out what's keeping your phone awake from there.

Hey everyone,

Got a few questions:

1- I am using Nillkin Qi Receiver and use this charging pad, when the phone is on the pad it keeps giving charging pad detection message, this happens throughout the time when the phone is charging, kind of annoying as at night the screen keeps waking due to this, does this happen with everyone or the pad is causing this issue.

2- With Google Voice how to make a number default, like if a contact has three numbers and I want Google to instantly dial instead of asking which number. I tried making a number default from Contacts but that doesn't help.

3- I am using Nillkin receiver from the past week and haven't tried water submerging, can anyone confirm if this particular receiver will keep the phone protected under water, has anyone tried?

4- When I added VPN the phone asked me to switch from unlock pattern to password or 4 digit code, is there anyway to get the pattern lock when using VPN.

5- When playing games, often happens that when going to new stage the game crashes "Unfortunately Stopped" error comes, have to load the game again. This happens only with games.

Any help will be highly appreciated.
