Texting issues?

Got a weird question here...

I got my wife a Galaxy S5 through Cricket Wireless a couple of weeks ago, and yesterday we discovered it is having trouble making and receiving text messages.

The thing is, it only has this problem with certain other phones. She cannot send or receive texts from my phone (AT&T S5), or one of the kids' phones (iPhone4). Other phones work perfectly normally. We've identified about 5 people she cannot connect to so far.

Tried rebooting, tried GOsmsPro, tried a few ideas from the webz, and finally resorted to a full factory reset - no change.

Anybody know anything about this? Cricket is refusing to accept it might be a problem with the phone, since some work and other don't. I think it might be a network issue?

Thanks,

TM

I plan on buying the S5 Duos (SM-G900FD), can I install Custom ROMs on that phone too which were made for the G900F ?

Or does it exactly need to be for the G900FD version ? (Dual Sim support since 5.1) [http://venturebeat.com/2015/03/09/g...anding-on-all-compatible-devices-from-today/]

As far as I read CM13 is also made for the Duos version, are there other ROMs too ?

Hi,

I've bought an unlocked G900T for use on Canadian network. (Rogers)

Since I got it I never was able to get a GPS ONLY lock. I tried the GPS test app and I saw that my device can detect on average 15-20 satellites almost instantaneously but never gets a LOCK. I have tried the gps test app for the first time when I was running CM 12.1 (that's when I first noticed the problem, only 2 days after getting the phone) and since then and after a bit of research I went back to : bone stock 4.3 touchwiz rom (from sammobile) - 5.0 touchwiz - 5.0 rooted - CM 12.1 with xposed - all the while never getting a lock.

Other things I have tried :

-playing with gps.conf : editing it manually according to other peoples thread and websites and using apps on playstore to automatically generate file based on world location

-actually deleting gps.conf (yes I know but some 1 gave feedback on a forum saying it worked -did not for me)

- tried all this ^ on stock battery AND on aftermarket PowerBear battery Pack

- Clearing and updating AGPS data using apps on playstore

What I have not tried yet :

(Cuz i don't know how or it failed)

-according to some other thread on XDA (sorry can't find link) users said flashing another modem could help

OR flashing only the NON-HLOS.Bin file from another modem OR erasing modemst1 and modemst2 using ADB (currently having difficulties using adb on windows due to driver issues)

-entering MMI codes in dialer to troubleshoot gps issues (seen some of these codes on forum threads and dedicated apps) unfortunately I cannot enter any MMI codes on my device as of now (running CM12.1 havent tried on stock touchwiz rom)

ANY help would be greatly appreciated, thank you :):D

"Downloading..." message blocking download/Odin mode?

I have a G900F that I'd like to root and then install a custom ROM on. I'm trying to do this with Odin and CF Autoroot. Unfortunately I get stuck after entering download mode, even before plugging the phone. Once I do, the Odin application doesn't seem to be able to connect to the phone.

I start the phone phone holding home, power and vol down, then accept the warning about custom ROMs. When I enter download/Odin mode, the screen displays the following:

ODIN MODE
PRODUCT NAME: SM-G900F
CURRENT BINARY: Samsung Official
SYSTEM STATUS: Official
REACTIVATION LOCK(KK): OFF
KNOX WARRANTY VOID: 0x0
QUALCOMM SECUREBOOT: ENABLE (CSB)
RP SWREV: S1, T1, R1, A1, P1
SECURE DOWNLOAD: ENABLE
UDC START

(green Android)

Downloading...
Do not turn off target!!

I'm guessing the last bit is the problem. I have Odin 3.10 running (on Windows 10) with the appropriate tar.gz file loaded, but it doesn't react when I plug the phone and no COM button turns blue, which I gather should happen from a previous post in this thread. If I push "Start" anyway it immediately says "All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)" and nothing really happens. I read a suggestion that the "Downloading..." message could go away by removing the battery for a while, but that hasn't worked despite having it out all of last night and again for a couple of hours today.

Possibly related factoids:

1. I don't have a Windows computer so I am using VirtualBox to run a virtual machine with Windows 10 installed. VirtualBox is set up so that the phone when connected via USB gets filtered to the VM rather than mount in the laptop's OS (which is OS X.) I certainly can't rule out that this might cause problems, but I'm under the impression others have it working this way, and I can connect to the phone fine from within the virtual Win 10 OS using Samsung Kies 3. I also see Odin react if I connect the phone to the VM in MTP mode.

2. I've been running the official Samsung OS unaltered since I got the phone. Until a few months ago I had automatic fetching of system updates enabled. In October or so the phone downloaded a system update which I have ignored since, not wanting to risk a newer version causing troubles with the rooting process. Could the existence of a downloaded update cause the "Downloading..." thing I see in Odin mode? I don't know.

My guess is if I can resolve the "Downloading..." message appearing when I enter Odin mode, I will be able to proceed from there, so any help fixing that is most welcome. However if someone can suggest an alternate way of rooting the phone and installing custom ROMs that would certainly be interesting too. I've got some practice with flashing via ADB with previous phones and am comfortable around a command line, so that would not be an obstacle.

Many thanks in advance for any help.

Wifi issue

I am running a rooted 5.0.1 on a G900f. For some reason (no idea whatsoever), my phone stopped 'showing' any wifi APs in settings. I can connect to any network manually, I can view and connect to all networks using any third-party app, and the phone shows a notification when open networks are available. However, no SSID will show up in the wifi settings.

I've cleared caches, uninstalled several applications that I suspected and used apps that reset wifi settings to no avail.

A factory reset did solve the problem, until I set up the phone and the problem occurred again.

Google didn't yield any similar problem.

Thoughts?

---------- Post added at 12:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 AM ----------

Personally I don't touch anything but custom stock ROMs because of camera features and MHL compatibility. But I'd highly recommend the ROM by xXx under android development, that and his aroma debloater script. Though don't go too crazy and debloat everything as that can have negative results. It's all in my signature.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anlag:
Thanks for the reply. I managed to get it working with a different approach, making two notable discoveries:

First one was the existence of Heimdall, "a cross-platform open-source tool suite used to flash firmware (aka ROMs) onto Samsung mobile devices", a good alternative to Odin, especially for Linux and Mac users. I had an initial issue with Heimdall 1.4.0, where it didn't manage to download the device's PIT file, but building the latest source from github (version 1.4.1) resolved that handsomely.

The second notable thing I learned was the power of the Samsung download mode, which meant I didn't need to root the stock ROM at all but rather move directly to flashing a recovery, and then installing a custom ROM from there. In case anyone in a similar situation has use for it, I followed the "How to Install CyanogenMod on the Samsung Galaxy S5 ("klte")" instructions over at Cyanogenmod.org very closely, and now have a tidy, stable CM 12.1 running on my phone. (I'd link to the guide but have too few posts, if anyone wants it just google the title and it should come up.)

I never did get rid of that "Downloading..." message on my download mode screen, but as it turns out that didn't matter, I could flash the recovery through Heimdall either way. So the question what was wrong with my Win 10/Odin attempt remains unanswered, I suppose, but also entirely circumvented.

If I were to update, all I have to do is flash the FOJ6 firmware using Odin, reflash TWRP using Odin and then flash a ROM using TWRP correct?

Once your device is unlocked, updating firmware, bootloader or modem won't relock anything. I have personally done it on our device.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RuffBuster:
What ROM were you using before? You need to make sure your using a lollipop boot loader and modem if coming from KitKat.

Try wiping cache and dalvic after installation. Else instead of wiping try the format option of data and system which is a little more thorough before installing. Else try reverting back to a pure stock firmware before flashing, may remove issues from previous ROM installations.
