[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] diablo009:
There is until HSPDA/4G. But no LTE.

---------- Post added at 02:35 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:34 AM ----------

The reason I gave for that is 'cos I know S3 in Americas version had 2 cores and LTE, wherein Asia version had 4 cores and no LTE. Maybe things changed in S5.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
Well again what you say is only correct for certain countries in asia. Not to single you out but there is a lot of misinformation, usually assumptions on this subject and it's productive to clarify the facts.

There were both LTE and non-LTE versions of the Exynos (4 core) S3. The GT-I9300[N/T], SHV-E210K/L/S and SGH-N035 had 4 cores and LTE and the GT-I9300[N] had 4 cores without LTE support. Not to mention that various asian counties like Japan and Australia use the dual core Qualcomm S3 with LTE. So it's not as clearly delineated as you believe.

You also suggested that it costs more to add additional frequency band support to a S5 variant. But this isn't so because the S5 uses WRL-1625 transceiver chipset which has unified support for all GSM and LTE bands. So it costs nothing extra in hardware to add additional bands.

One could argue that omitting secondary parts such as an antenna in a variant intended for a region that doesn't use LTE at all (if such exists) could make unified support moot. But the reality is that increased manufacturing and logistical costs of changing the hardware provisioning on variant handsets is usually prohibitive. It's generally believed that band limitations between variants reside in firmware with the purpose of detering grey market sales and carrier churn.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
No, most of the non-LTE asian carriers are using HSPA+ networks which are considerably faster than Edge. The faster HSPA+ implentations are characterized as 42 Mbps networks, which is as fast as some LTE footprints. Advanced LTE rollouts however can double those speeds.

.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] fffft:
I had several people ask me about real world LTE speeds. All I can say is that speeds are highly dependent on carrier networks and will vary considerably between carriers and quite a bit by location as well. One LTE network might see speeds < 5 Mbps while another may be twenty times that fast.

I am seeing 60 Mbps typical speeds with my LTE and ~ 90 Mbps with a strong signal in larger cities. Carrier aggregation which is just rolling out now (and supported by the S5) should see some networks achieving 125+ Mbps speeds.

Hello! I'm looking for some help.

I got back fron the US with an AT&T galaxy S5 active (SM 870A) and it works well ewcept the 3G. I directly sitch from 4G in urban areas to Edge...

Do you know if I could get 3G with this phone, since it looks likes a software issue?

Galaxy S5 SM-900M

Supports these Bands:

3G: HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100, 4G: LTE 700 / 850 / 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600 (Bands 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 17)

Current Baseband Version:

G900MUBU1BOJ2 (Lollipop 5.0)

I'm wanting to roll back to KitKat 4.4.2

Does anyone know for sure if this will work with T-Mobile? It appears to have all the bands to support T-Mobile, but I guess what I'm asking is what firmware do I download if I want to roll it back to KitKat 4.4.2? A link to the firmware would be fantastic.

This is the closest thing I've found for KitKat 4.4.2 on this SM-900M S5 that I have....but it's Uruguay. All the other firmwares are for South American countries too....

Thanks in advance.

[General Questions and Answers] David O'Dea:
Hi all

I just wanted to confirm something and put my mind at rest. I really don't like the idea of all the O2 branding or bloatware on my Sony Xperia Z1 (C6903). After typing in the *#*#7378423#*#* code into my phone, my Bootloader unlocking status is set to NO.

Does that really mean there is absolutely nothing I can to to Root my phone and get rid of my carriers control and stupid branding? And if not, why is this?

Thank you

Well it may be hard to root it, but you'll have to find an external method to unlock the bootloader. Look for other methods. Till now I can only tell you to disable these carrier applications.

Hey :D

I currently downloaded this ROM

And checked the FAQ on how to root

It shows the Auto CF method which seems simple but doesnt install a custom recovery

Is that fine or is there another method to root with cwm preferred. as i am used to flashing new roms via cwm

Or is odin the best way to flash this rom?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4751:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Bsmith0731:
It has to be two letters included with the password.

Your fingerprint isn't registering?

Yes, print works fine. Silly me forgot what I chose for the alternate password. That might help.

Solution

Found the solution: Delete all the fingerprints registered (verifying by fingerprint or alternative password) inside the Fingerprint manager. When all registered prints are removed, the lock screen will go back to swipe.

Thanks. I'll give this a whirl. Thanks, it worked!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] u1988:
Although this is a direct way, you won’t be able to see any of the options directly on

the lock screen because its hidden and you need to try the Alternative password for a few times until the “Unlock via Google” option appears.

It generally needs a minimum of 5 trials and fails for the Alternative password

before you go back to the lock screen and see the Google unlock option.

http://androidadvices.com/unlock-sa...rnative-password-finger-scanner/#.U-fr0fl_vX4

OR

You have two options:

Delete all fingerprints (by going into settings & long pressing on the finger print, selecting remove) and recreate them. This will also clear you alternate password.

Go to Android Device Manager, and setup the remote lock & erase feature if you haven't already. Once setup use the lock feature to reset your password. It will allow you to change your "screen-unlock" password

There are two ways on how to unlock your Samsung Galaxy S, follow these steps:

Method 1: To unlock your Samsung Galaxy S, you can use your Google username and password to unlock your Samsung Galaxy S,

but these requires internet connection to access your Google account.

Method 2: To unlock your Samsung Galaxy S, you need to hard reset your phone, to reset its password and restore default settings, but doing this process will also delete all save files and data on your phone.

Hard Reset:

1. Turn off your phone.

2. Press and hold Volume button up + Home button + power button to enter recovery option.

3. Use your Volume button to navigate option and use home button to confirm.

4. Navigate "Wipe out data/factory reset" and confirm.

5. Navigate "Yes -- delete all user data" and confirm.

6. Navigate "Reboot system now" and confirm.

7. Done. Note: Before your hard reset your phone, make sure that you backup first the important files and data.

Assuming the fingerprint scanner still works, unlock your phone, then go to settings - finger scanner - change alternative password, run your fingerprint then you will be able to set a new password. No need to delete your fingerprints this way.

Dear Forum:

I recently switched from iPhone 5S to Xperia Z1c, I was a long time iOS user and now I'm getting to like to Android OS. I have installed an App called Clean Master, it helps you boost your phone's memory and clean junk files to maximize storage. This app raised my concern, does Android OS needs constantly use apps like Clean Master to boost the phone's memory and clean up storage? When using iPhones I never had to worry about whether the memory is low and needs a boost or clearing junk files. So is it highly recommended to have an app like Clean Master around when using Android? I'm not saying this is inconvenient but just want to be clear if apps like this is a must.

Thank you
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bodomizer:
short answer: no

those cleaning tools are often advertised as miracle ways to speed up your device, but android, as the modern OS it is, can liberate resources when it needs them, the only situation you could use an app like clean master is when you're low on storage and need to clean the cache from all apps

Yeah necessary, it think. Because these applications clean up junk data that is not shown and we never realize. When we install an application then the application will be updated, and when the application is updated then there would be new data and an additional. Once we no longer need the application, and when we uninstall, then just deleted the application only while the additional data is not be lost and these things that we never realized, it has become duty cleaning applications to clean up this problem so that there empty space on the ram

Cleanmaster is an app whose size is quite big (takes space of 3 320 kbps mp3 files) and full of adwares. You will not be wishing to waste your mobile data by seeing those unnecessary ads. So better don't download, because it is not necessary at all, and there would be a time when you will be fed up with the ads it shows up!

If you are looking for a serious app, look for GREENIFY.

Note- This app hibernates background process. And yes, if you are rooted, this app is gonna help you a lot by saving your battery, when coupled with Xposed Frameword, i too use this. Your RAM will be free mostly, which cleanmaster fakes!

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaliK1121:
I have used clean master for years... Until recently. I would still use it except I also have been using cm security and it would be great if they used 1 app... Especially since both do the same things basically except clean master also has a deep cleaning and is not as great on virus scanning and vice versa for cm security. I do highly recommend a virus scanner especially if you are downloading and all that other stuff. So anyway I decided that I would just get rid of clean master and even though it was linked to my sd card through link2sd it was taking up nearly 20% of my internal memory!! So I don't recommend clean master any longer... I haven't found anything to replace cm security but I've been thinking about going back to AVG which I use on my computer. I did install CCleaner on my phone and it works pretty well so I might use CCleaner and AVG just like on my PC!!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Be careful with those apps. They are known for having security issues. To be honest cleaners are useless for the most part. A good root file Explorer is all you really need. Virus scanners on Android are pointless. They are designed to pick up viruses but not what you would consider a virus on Android.
