[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C2Q:
This is sort of a dumb question. I noticed this phone charges insanely fast, nearly 1% per minute which is way faster than my old S3. Will this fast charging affect the longevity of the battery in any way?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
1. Yes, Xposed module Gravity Box works fine on the S5 AFAIK. But I don't use it on my phone though.

2. You can create nandroid backups with some apps, e.g. Online Nandroid Backup from Play store. But for restoring a nandroid backup, you need a custom recovery ... which as to fit for the backup format (CWM or TWRP).

I haven't seen any long-term tests about this topic.

So IDK.

Theoretically the battery has longer battery life when charging slowly, but only the manufactures have the details about the influence of the battery life for different charging speeds.

Hopefully they are using the fastest charging speed which still provides a long living battery ... and not demaging it after passing the waranty time :fingers-crossed:

Signal Strength Issues

I get the WORST signal strength. Doesn't matter where I am - (currently downtown Seattle) and I barely have a 1/2 bar. The first month seemed ok - after that it is just BAD! On a separate note, I can connect to wireless at home and it stays connected (work is another issue). Any ideas of what to check?

Active stock firmware?

My daughters ATT SM-G870A Active with firmware G870AUCU1ANE4 is having a weird problem. On boot up it shows the Samsung screen then just goes to a screen full of static. I tried to restore using Recovery button method but I only get the top line saying it is in Recovery, but I cannot use the volume keys to scroll down to anything. This phone is only a week old and has been fine since now. I've read on some other forums that this is likely an app problem and a restore to stock solves the problem.

I tried restoring a stock ROM using KIES, but the Samsung KIES app refuses to install it since it is on the latest firmware already.

I've searched and searched, but cannot find a file for this stock ROM. I'm assuming if I can get that file I can reflash using Odin or something similar. It's been a while since I've done any flashing of any kind, but not a total noob.

Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] It_ler:
Hard to say without detailed infomration about the update.

But most likely the OTA update will patch the exploit towelroot is using to root. So I assume that rooting with towelroot won't work after the update.

But there are methods to root a new firmware (by temporarily flashing an old kernel) again with towelroot ;)

Best way IMO is to root your old firmware with towelroot, install Mobile Odin Pro app from Chainfire and flash the OTA update with this app. As you can keep root :good:

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zyxw9876:
Sorry for the possibly noob question, I decided to post in here rather than start a new thread in case this has been answered, but I don't feel like trawling through 41 pages of fairly irrelevant info.

I've had my S5 essentially since its release in Australia (about 6 months) and so far it has been fairly trouble free. Recently (~the last month) it has been having trouble charging and connecting in any situation. I have tried multiple cables, computers, charges and USB ports, but basically it's like a loose connection on the phone. It will connect/disconnect rapidly and needs to be supported at an angle to charge/connect with any confidence.

In my opinion, this is a manufacturing fault, however Samsung wants me to send the phone off for inspection (at my own cost and inconvenience). Alternatively, I can take it to a Telstra shop, but I have a feeling they will say the same. In a way I regret not getting an iPhone (but then I use one and realise why I didn't).

I wanted to know if anyone else has had this issue ("loose" USB port - connectivity issues), and how Samsung/Telstra has responded. Ideally I would like Telstra to take it back and swap it over for a new/reconditioned phone but I expect them to claim it's from misuse and charge me for all costs.

I am 99.99999% sure this is not caused by any software as it really isn't used as much more than a phone and I have other phones to play with and destroy. Plus putting pressure on the cable helps to an extent

at&t gs5 just rooted help/suggestions appreciated

Hello xda, I have a at&t gs5 that I recently rooted to aid in a home automation project using tasker. Unfortunately I'm as green as it gets as far as rooting goes. Just rooted using towelroot and discovered all the possibilities rooting creates. I downloaded safestrap to try to run the Alliance rom following the instructions of a YouTube video. When I installed the rom on the first slot and rebooted into it, it bootlooped. Reloaded stock rom with safestrap. The stock file has the root apps titanium backup, root checker and busybox. After trying to run alliance I had de bloated my phone, if that information is helpful, but I have also since reloaded the stock again. The problem is that my phone now sometimes won't load any browser or stream unless restarted, and I had no word prediction until I re installed swiftkey. Any suggestions on both fixing this and on the route I should take going forward? Those are the only problems I've had so far, so my outlook is good. sorry if this was posted in the wrong place or way too long.

1. You have to flash AllianceROM into stock slot.

SuperSU will give you a "clean up" option, but for the purposes of removing all traces of root, e.g. returning your phone, warranty work being done, etc., you are going to be much safer just reverting to stock, as most people make modifications they might not even remember some of while rooted.
