[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
I just rooted my Verizon GS5 onto Lollipop (earlier thread). I froze everything I didn't want running including updates prior to activating the phone on the network. In the past, Verizon seems to push the VVM update almost immediately, but it can't happen with everything frozen. My concern is, if I enable update, won't Verizon push the Marshmallow update too? I just want the voicemail app but I can't find it anywhere. Is my best bet defrosting the update stuff long enough to get VVM and then freeze it? Or, is there an APK somewhere?

I posted a new topic but was advised to post in here.

https://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s5/help/rooted-verizon-gs5-lollipop-visual-t3736000

tl;dr where can I get the Verizon visual voicemail apk? If not available, will defrosting the update stuff force a Lollipop->Marshmallow update that i DON'T want?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
I turned on updates and checked. The only thing offered is the MM update which I declined. Thoughts?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bkenobi69:
My issue has been resolved. I called Verizon and after waiting 20 minutes on hold, I was able to get them to resend the Premium VVM offer which automatically upgraded my VM app to VVM. I declined Premium and now have Basic VVM.

Okay hello guys, I have an S5 SM-G900H and it won't boot. The only way i can get it to boot is if i keep the power button held down. Literally held down until the phone is on the password screen.

I used the same account to setup LOS 14.1 on a phone and tablet. One had the 60fps option while the other stopped suggesting it. After making a new account on the phone, the 60fps option pops up again. Apparently, you can only use one account per device for 60FPS to be suggested. Very weird.

Samsung S5 G900P (sprint) - QD1 - how to enable hotspot

Hi helpful hackers out there, I purchased an unlocked, rooted Samsung S5 with software version G900P VPS3C QD1 and would like to enable its hotspot. "Sprint" still dominates the software unfortunately. All search has been futile until now. May somebody assist me? Thank you very much. Best, Alex

The easiest way to use the hotspot is to get a custom rom. You can try some hotspot apps on the google play store since you are already rooted and if you do not want to wipe the device. But installing a custom rom like MOAR, carbom rom or Lineage OS would be my choice.

Boot Animations - Never.

I have seen two other related posts with no such help on the matter of Boot Animations on the S5. It is almost impossible to search for such a thing too as everyone is loading S5 stock animations on their S3/4 (bloating search results).

The real problem is that the older ways of changing the animation don't seem to work.

Flashing doesn't do much, there is the occasional success but it's temporary at best.

Throwing the "bootanimation.zip" in to the two viable root locations (one at a time or even both at the same time) doesn't work.

And using the set of QMG files in the media folder of system also doesn't work.

Currently, I have NO shutdown animation, and the default S5 Android logo with no follow up animation at boot. Sifting through forums and such and many others are struggling with this.

So my question is; what is different in the S5 that is preventing boot animations to work? Or do they work, but something my end is wrong?

Any help here would really be appreciated.

Hyperioum.

I think about the same, it will not be substantialy faster then the G900F i presume as it has to process a lot more pixels. Its crazy anyway, so many pixels on a 5,1 inch screen and the human eye can barely see the difference in regular use and it will probably drain the battery faster.

Glad to help. There are how to's on youtube for rom installs. When I rooted my S5 (long ago) It was a little harder than it is now. To make it easier, download the TWRP app from google play to update your recovery. Save your custom rom to your SD card and go to the TWRP app. When you install a custom rom you will have to wipe your phone so there is no bugs. The TWRP app should have a setting for wipe for a custom rom. You just point to where you saved the rom and TWRP will do the rest. Nowadays the hardest part is root, but since you already have it, the hard part is done.

Sounds like something corrupted. When in recovery mode are you selecting the "wipe for new rom" option before the reflash? If so, you might want to start from scratch. You might want to find a PIT file and a stock rom to reload from the begining, then root it and install a new rom.

I can't answer for the battery issues with lineage as I didn't have any issues when I was using my S5. It worked better than my S7 edge(its stock so anything works better). As for the S4 Mini, without seeing your log errors, and searching for other errors on the forum, the only thing I found was that it could be you are using the wrong install.

Hi,

owning a SM-900FD duos, with troubles in network connectivity. Original firmware is official latest from UAE. I live in Germany using SIM from congstar (tmobile sister), connection is only possible when outside, indoor its a game from room to room, closer a window helps.

The same SIM inserted in my old HTC-Desire HD is working like a charm inside and outside.

Now, I tested the SIM in an europe S5 SM-900F (NOT duos) - and its working inside, outside everywhere.

I tested different SIM provider in my original phone - working, too.

My question(s):

Can I flash the europe S5 SM-900F modem firmware in my SM-900FD duos?

Will it break my SM-900FD duos?

Or just disable the second SIM?

After reflashing to original modem firmware I could use both SIMs again, in case I switch my provider?

Great advise to change the OS. Now, with Lineage OS 14.1 running on my phone, I reached full functionality: the formerly (by Sprint) disabled Tethering & portable hotspot is now active : )

Thanks to the great programmers out and the advice given in the net, as a complete beginner, I managed to do it. I want to share with you the links that helped me:

My Samsung SM-G900P was already rooted which made the following steps easy:

**

YOU NEED

An SD external memory card in your smart phone and a USB cable to connect your phone with the computer.

**

ACTIVATE USB debugging on your phone

**

INSTALL on your (Windows) computer

ADB and Fastboot:

https://www.lineageosroms.org/forums/topic/install-adb-fastboot-windows-drivers/

**

GET Odin software and TWRP image onto your computer

Odin:

https://xdaforums.com/sprint-galaxy-s5/development/firmware-sprint-s5-factory-odin-images-t3585129

https://odindownload.com/

TWRP

https://dl.twrp.me/klte/twrp-3.2.1-0-klte.img.tar.html

**

INSTALL TWRP recovery (watch video):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PKgJ2I7zT_g

**

GET the Lineage OS and Gapps and transfer them onto the SD external memory card in your phone

Download Lineage OS:

https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=457095661767131755 (the unofficial version that I used)

https://download.lineageos.org/kltedv

Download Gapps ARM 7.1 (I chose the mini version) - Use a download manager like "Internet Download Manager" or the like, as direct download from opengapps get regulaily interrupted.

http://opengapps.org/

**

INSTALL Lineage OS and Gapps (watch video)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jK3JFDTVeQ

**

Done : )

**

Additional remark:

The (unofficial) lineage os 14.1 has a bug and vibration of back button and haptic feedback cannot be adjusted or turned off: if you install the “button light” app you can turn off the vibration of the back button and with the “Swiftkey Keyboard” you can turn off the haptic feedback function.

**

I hope these links are of help to make the Samsung SM-G900P really yours : )

**

Thanks to all and take good care,

S5 Duos, a game doesn't respond to touch in LOS

Recently I installed LOS perfectly without any problems or errors and wiped everything - cache,dalvik,system,data and even internal storage as I wanted to free the phone from years of crap. I installed a game - Onmyoji and it does NOT respond to any touch input from the screen apart from skipping the intro clip. Then the screen just stops responding to touch in-game and I can't do anything. It works flawlessly on stock so LOS is the problem for sure.
