[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Zorachus:
Battery Life

http://anandtech.com/show/7903/samsung-galaxy-s-5-review/5

The Galaxy S 5 falls behind the new HTC One M8 by a little bit, for battery life, especially if you consider the smaller capacity battery.

As far as hardware goes, the two phones, M8 and S5 share pretty much identical internals, so performance is neck and neck equal, trading blows. I agree the S5 has the brighter screen, that is better than the M8, and the S5 is waterproof, the M8 is not. Sense 6 is less bloated of a skin compared to the heavy Touchwiz. And I don't need a heart rate monitor on my cellphone, or do magic air gestures either.

End of the day, the two phones are super close in performance and battery department. I just prefer the open nature and developer friendly M8 that I can tweak to my hearts desire, over a locked down, anti-developer phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] nuwayman:
Thought this is a first impressions thread. Not a S5 versus HTC m8. I would like to hear about the S5.

I asked two weeks ago if the XL had the ASF, as I am planning to buy one, on talk.sonymobile.com, they said it didn't have it and instead a scratch-resistant Schott cover glass protects the display. Some users though, as I've read through other forums although only a few of them, said that they got scratches on their display which may be the ASF. I also saw this videos which shows the display is tough and is really scratch-resistant, although they did not mention if they put a screen protector on it:

[YOUTUBE]QA5oi4fYB-k[/YOUTUBE]

[YOUTUBE]p3-KgVPtJ8Q[/YOUTUBE]

I already have one and I haven't put any screen protectors on it and I'm still worried that it may get scratches if it had the ASF. I tried looking at the edges of the front for the ASF and I really can't see nothing. How about yours guys?:confused:

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liav12:
Hi

yesterday i sent my htc M7 for a repair after the motherboard died or something like that.

the phone just stopped working , will not turn on or charge with no reason, 2 months old, bought it in January and few days ago stopped working at all.

so the guys at the lab told me it needed a new board - which mean they will need to totally open it.

the main question is - do you think the phone will return a fully and scratchless?

i kept mine totally clean from scratches or dents - i even took pictures of it before sending it.

from what i know its almost impossible to fix it without ruining something els..thats what im afraid of.

mine is in RED color - and in Israel they sell only the Silver (got mine from a store that got it from Malaysa).

did anyone experienced any trouble with HTC technical support?

Thank you.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghav kapur:
My red One went for a camera repair. They sent it in a better condition than what I sent it in :)

They had polished it, etc.

No, they're experts in this. The phone ideally wont be damaged by HTC Service Centre
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] litlnicky:
dont worry man , my red htc one went in repair too, motherboard died too, flashing summat wrong lol, they gave it back in top condition , not one scratch man , best of luk
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aooga:
They have a special machine that opens these phones without damaging it. Apparently. Personally, I believe that they just send you a new phone because mine came back with a different IMEI number for a problem that had nothing to do with the motherboard.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chc31:
Like the guy above me said, they have a tool to open it. Plus it's HTC, not the repair shop down the street. I would trust that they take the utmost care in fixing your product. Any company is supposed to do that. They made the phone, they can disassemble it with ease. You're worried because you saw these stupid people who try to disassemble their phones in ridiculous ways. They have a tool, dint worry
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liav12:
Thank you guys for the fast replies.

i've never had a situation when i needed the repair service before, but there is always a first time.

i'll post back when ill get the phone, hope it will be as good as new

:P

Can anybody confirm which Frequency does the phone works is UMTS? XDA Wiki here says it supports 850, 1900 and 2100. However, I am in the Dominican Republic and Claro, who uses 850 for HSPA+/UMTS doesn't work. It only connect to 2G data.

Can anybody confirm the UMTS frequencies/bands you have been able to use on this phone? Does UMTS 850 works?

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] chtsalvishal:
Hey,

Im very new to this Forum.

I recently rooted my samsung grand i9082 and found this problem.

the problem is that my internal memory has gone up and now it says that im running out of memory.

so i uninstalled most of my apps and checked the storage and found that in the misc files there was 2.33Gb used space.

i tried to check the files which had that much memory and the interesting thing is that it doesnt show files that has 2.33Gb of capacity.

Now im completely confused. Whats wrong. i don know can this be due to the backup or anything.

Yes, your backup files are probably not showing in system ka storage management app...

Noticed something earlier. Decided to turn the volume down earlier while on a call and the buttons were not doing anything.

Moved the phone away to look at the screen and they worked to turn the volume down, put the phone back to my ear, decided I'd turned it down a bit too much and again, not working.

Seems the volume control works when the screen is on and away from my head but not when it's off and to my ear.

Does anybody else see the same thing?

I noticed a big problem with the radio.

I live in an area where the 3G signal is not very strong, and it happens that the phone changes alone in 2G mode, then return to 3G when the signal is better..

It happens, however, that during these steps 3G-2G or 2G-3G phone loses the line, so that in that passage i'm not contactable if someone phone me, I realize that I get the SMS notification later.

I noticed that the indicator of the phone signal is reset, and I can not even call. As an indication of the lack of signal is about 4-5 sec

With other devices like Galaxy S2 and Motorola Defy+, in the same place with the same operator and sim didn't happens...

[Moto X Q&A] sylarm:
I Have x1052... Portugal.

And if I'm not wrong, switch from 3G to 2G forces the to change frequencies, and forces to make a request (update profile) to your operator.

This operations take a few seconds, when you initialize your phone, and after you insert your SIM pin code your phone take a few seconds to get connection. It's the same behaviour.

When you know that you are at a location with low 3G switch manually to 2G, then you don't get this failures.

What I mean is: I think is not an issue, if we made this change manually 2g->3G we have this service break of 4-5s. (It´s a Location Update).
