Really? I had my hopes up with getting the SM-G900T and using it on AT&T. It can probably be turned on manually via QPST but will take a bit of research

http://www.cellfservices.com/

This site is legit. The owner of the site is heavily involved in another mobile community I am on(one that is not allowed to be named on XDA). They have unlocked S5's successfully already, and their prices are top notch.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 21cdb:
But have they unlocked T-Mobile S5s and are they running fine on AT&T? I'm surprised nobody has posted yet saying exactly that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] lowandbehold:
All T-mobile phones (at least from the past 2 years) work perfectly on AT&T, as they use many of the same bands. An unlocked T-mobile phone with an AT&T sim card will get 2G, 3G, 4G and LTE.

T-mobile phones are typically more valuable than AT&T phones because of the full capabilities on all GSM networks. An unlocked AT&T phone will get LTE on T-mobile, but it won't get HSPA or HSPA+ (4G).
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] daraj:
what about LTE-A? I think tmobile version doesnt support it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] lowandbehold:
It has the hardware capability and the correct bands to support it. Whether it does or not, I don't know. I'm not even sure AT&T fired it up in any markets yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rambo8987:
Yea I'm on att. But no it doesn't change when you flash roms
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] barondebxl:
[MENTION=4089729]rambo8987[/MENTION] thanks for the info bro.

Quick it: what are your thoughts in the S5? How is its performance?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 21cdb:
OK guys, I did it. I went to a T-Mobile store and paid full price. The first store I called said they wouldn't sell one to me without a plan because of "fraud". So I called another store and said it was a surprise gift for my GF. So I got the phone no problem, just had to pay full price. I then went to the site mentioned above, cellfservices, and they sent me an unlock code in half an hour that worked fine. I put in the AT&T phone APN and I have LTE. Rooted, installed Philz, all that good stuff.

So far everything seems to be working fine on AT&T. SMS and phone calls, everything is good in the half an hour or so I've used it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] bookmonke:
Did you put the correct APN in or did it pull from the sim?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] barondebxl:
That's great news buddy thanks for letting us know!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] barondebxl:
Thanks! Will add this to the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] 21cdb:
I put the correct APN in myself, but I started receiving SMS and phone calls before I had a chance to put in the APN.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] seanu13:
I got one from Craigslist unlocked and its working with my AT&T sim after adding the APN settings. I'm losing my data signal often though and have to turn airplane mode off and on. I may just need to try a different rom to see if it's a software thing. Yes I have LTE. I have the AT&T variant still to compare to, never had issues with the signal.

Edit: Might be worth adding that I'm in Austin.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] chiquito3:
What do you mean Isis will not cooperate?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] baskln:
Can't get the Isis app to work. It throws errors about being unable to access the secure element
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] chiquito3:
I don't know the app.

But you can confirm that the Tmobile S5 is fully functional on the AT&T network.

You can send photos and/or videos through the message app?

And the data speeds ara as good as in a regular AT&T S5 device?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] baskln:
Yes no issues at all. You'll have to manually enter APN settings that's the only thing. Speeds are the same and LTE works great as well.

Isis is a mobile payments app. It got renamed recently, can't remember it's new name. They didn't want people to think they were part of a terrorists group..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] chiquito3:
Jajajajaja! To be honest that is exactly what though the first time I read you post.

Btw my daughter's name is Isis.

Which version of the tab do you have and what build version of the software is on it? Without knowing this, we can't provide more info. Also, just telling us that it isn't working without reporting the error does not help us or you. And Z4root...really? That hasn't worked since Android 2.2. It's a bad idea to just install random root apps and hope they work. They might modify parts of the OS that can't be undone without returning to stock, or worse.

[Nexus 5 Accessories] speedyink:
Hey guys just here to write a review on the Lepow 6000mAh Stone Power Bank. If you'd like to see the unboxing or if reading is hard you may find my video version here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvN0mfV4HDA&feature=youtu.be

I'll start with the packaging. It's nice looking and simple, with an emphasis on renewable materials. It's kind of nice that they took the effort to do this, as for the price I would have imagined more of a plain cardboard box or worse, that awful plastic packaging. So there's a plus for the packaging. They even threw in a bunch of goodies, which the note inside said was because it was purchased from Amazon. Such goodies included an extra carrying bag, stickers, cord wraps, a suction pad to stick the Power bank to smooth surfaces (yes, I tried, I can stick my Nexus 5 to glossy surfaces if I wanted to =P), a stylus for capacitive screens, a screen cleaner, and a micro SD to USB adapter. It was kind of a nice extra.

On to looks and build quality. I don't get the sense of cheap here..in fact quite the opposite. It's definitely solid, which combined with the shape makes it feel good in the hands. It doesn't creak when stressed, and it certainly doesn't feel like it's gonna fall apart any time soon. It's nice too look at as well. If you're into the clean modern look than you'll probably like it as well. It also comes with a flat style USB to Micro USB cable, and a fabric carrying pouch.

Without further adieu let's talk about the good stuff, performance. First off, there's two ports, one standard charge and one quick charge, which charge at 1.2 Amps or 2.1 Amps respectively. I don't own a tablet or anything, so I don't have much use for the 2.1 Amp port, but it's nice to know it's there if I need it. Both ports I tried were pretty much like charging my phone plugged into the wall. There's a handy charge remaining button which lights up 4 lights, depending on remaining charge. This is probably standard but it's still a handy thing to have. As we all probably know, the Nexus 5 has a 2300mAh battery. Being a 6000mAh power bank it performs exactly as expected. Discharging to 20% or less and charging to full with the phone on, and unplugged as soon as I noticed it finished, I was able to get about 2 and a half charges. I was left with about 68% on the remaining half charge.

So, would I recommend it? Well, considering it's 20 bucks on Amazon at the time of this writing, I'd definitely say so. Considering for that price you get a good quality power supply, with a bunch of little goodies, all of which packed in renewable materials, so you can even feel good about it. I'm happy with it anyways.

Thanks for reading!

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] bsweetness:
I turned this on, but even though it's showing an icon for it in the task bar, it's not doing anything. Downloads are going at my WiFi speed and aren't using LTE at all.

I think this is a similar situation to Blocking Mode on the S3. Verizon cut that out, but a shortcut was found to it in a similar way. You could turn it on, and it showed an icon in the status bar, but it never actually worked.

Found this in the feature.xml file... Not sure if it is related or not.

Also we will likely have to edit the equivalent of the SytemUI.apk to get the toggle in the menu (assuming that's where they still keep it). This would be similar to adding the WiFi toggle on the GN2 I would assume.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Njzkrish:
Found it as well! Thank you. So far I tested it with Speedtest app.

Using wifi at home my normal rate without download booster - 50 - 55 mbps download, 12 mbps upload

Using wifi with download booster on and 2 - 3 bars of 4g LTE (My house doesn't get great speeds under LTE but they are decent) - 69 - 72 Mbps download, 13 mbps upload

Using LTE 4G only - 16 - 18 mbps download, 7 - 8 mbps upload.

Using LTE 4G with download booster no wifi - same as using LTE 4G by itself (Not sure why I tested that but just want consistent numbers)

Found that interesting.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jpmcnown:
What did you "find as well"? It was my experience that enabling the feature doesn't appear to do anything(grey'd out icon in notification bar), and the feature.xml file needs root write permissions to be modified.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Njzkrish:
I was able to get the shortcut on to my home screen and go into turn it on. I've come to think it does work since my download speed changes when it is turned on AFTER I turn my wifi on and test. Speeds shoot up. With wifi only, the speed testing hesitates to even get to 50 mbps to 55. With the booster on it easily jumps to 60 mbps and upwards. (My internet cap is at 50 mbps and at times I do reach 55 max but I've never hit over that into the 60s and 70s)

So I'm just going by the tests with speed app. haven't done much with downloading files.

No icon, but have the speeds possibly

I turned mine on via Nova and while I don't see the notification bar icon or display, I just downloaded 40mb cut the rope 2 from the play store on LTE and wifi and saw it going faster than 10 megabytes/second. It flew.

Afterwards I didn't get any sort of notification. I went to see if download booster was still on, and it was. It seemed to be working in the background based on the speeds I observed. I had a strong LTE signal (in NYC) and wifi is typically fast, but not THAT fast. (Cut the rope 2 downloaded in under 4 seconds)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] bsweetness:
I did several tests with mine, tracking data usage on WiFi and the cellular network. No data was being routed through the cellular network while it was in use, showing that the core element of download booster wasn't enabled (using both WiFi and cellular data for the download).

Samsung advertises "True Octa Core" capabilities with this device and this certainly means that Samsung is shipping the device with HMP enabled.

Does HMP offer better battery management over the previous implementations?
[Galaxy S 5 General] AndreiLux:
It comes with HMP but that's not what I'm talking about.

The device comes with something called ARM Intelligent Power Allocation (IPA) which is basically a very fine-grained power tracking and estimation thermal framework to control DVFS. The device is capped at 3.5W TDP between all CPUs and GPU, so it should never cause a heating overrun. And it seems that it doesn't affect performance given the videos.

I've read the opposite from other people such as the OP. All depends on firmware you had on your version. We'll see when somebody actually bothers to properly test it. I'm just stating what I see in the code.

[MENTION=3545989]dragon135[/MENTION]

The 5430 has a HEVC decoder, dedicated clock domain on the display interface, higher clocks in general, GPU at 600MHz (no info on core count but improvement is a possibility), and a new dedicated A5 co-processor for audio decoding and encoding called "Siren". The HEVC decoder alone is worth it imho since it provides good future-proofing of the device.
