[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] OldManJax:
The hotspot does work if you modify the right files. It will use your plan data instead of your tethering data. You need to change your user agent in your PC and it will hide the data correctly. If you do not modify your user agent on your PC it will use your tethering data limit. I personally tether to my Tabpro 8.4 without issue mainly because it connects like my phone. When i connect my laptop i have to make sure to change my user agent in my browser or it will count against my tethering limit.

I personally stopped using the stock hotspot app because the people who were tethering from me kept dropping connection. I use wifi tether router now and connection never stops for the 2 other people tethering off of me.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] damaged82:
I deleted my apn and entered all my settings in manually and my tethering works fine. On my plan I think it limits tethering to 5g and I have already used 20g on tether so it's confirmed working. Only need to modify apn

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jubi Lee:
The camera bump out on the back of the Galaxy S5 seems like an odd design feature. Doesn't this mean that any time you put your phone down it ends up resting right on the camera lens? Is there anything to stop that lens from getting scratched up from sliding around on tables all the time?

I don't have an S5 yet so I'm curious to hear from owners, what are your observations about this so far?

[G2 Themes and Apps] TruEastSydeBoi:
So just in case not everyone follows The Droid Life, I thought I'd post the new Camera App since photography quality seems to be one of biggest aspects of the phone people chase.

Let's see how it stacks against our Generous Dev's Xdabbed's and Jishnu's modified camera apps that they have done wonders with. I don't know if it'll be of any use to us since they've been pushing the stock app to the max, but maybe it's worth giving a try for UI experience.

You need to be on Android 4.4+

Google Cam APK

Here's the DL overview of it. Tour

I myself don't think it will compare with the quality and feature's Xdabbed has packed into his but new stock options are always nice.

Update: Ok so I've done my first comparison. Both at 13MP, Med/Low Lighting, and forced flash with a steady arm.

Modified Stock:

Google Cam:

Compare Photos Link

Strange, but to me the google cam looks a alot sharper quality as per the rug and cat fur. The colors also look deeper i.e. the pink leopard spots. I'll have to play around more

Update 2: So I believe Google's Cam takes amazing pictures in ideal lighting and photo conditions, but Xdab's really strives at being a more versatile photo taker when it comes to other conditions such as low light.
[G2 Themes and Apps] bigwavedave25:
Yeah, I saw this on D-L also. So far I am very impressed and happy to have Photo-sphere back in the arsenal.

One thing I want to try and do is hack the app to either add a 10Mwide [16:9] option or change the parameters on the 7.7M option to be the 10Mwide format that is available on the stock LG camera. Which is the one i use the most and allows for the full screen view w/ semi-transparent shutter button.
[G2 Themes and Apps] sheridan2000:
played around for a while. could not get photo sphere to work correctly. blur effect is good. images to me don't appear to be any better than lg stock camera app. certainly not many filters/effects etc. thanks for the download thought.
[G2 Themes and Apps] ingoljosh:
this is awesome. i love the blur effect. kinda like the M8 instead of having 2 camersa you raise the camera a bit and it takes another shot to create the depth of field effect.GENIUS!
[G2 Themes and Apps] madboymatt:
I'm gonna play around with this a little more, but I actually think this might be a little sharper than X's mod.

Sent from my LG G2 D803 from the XDA developers app.
[G2 Themes and Apps] AyDee:
The Google cam does look more contrast-y in the comparison pics.

Photosphere worked fine for me. LG gallery displays 3d panorama ok but Google gallery is better.

Its really just meant for being simple and taking quick shots without cumbersome load times for instance like the HDR mode is super quick. I'm sure with more app updates on the way this camera app will have good potential (:

What's your signal strength like? If the G5 is like any other phone a low signal can really eat through the battery because the radio transmitter has to constantly transmit at full power to hit the tower. Try using Wi-Fi if you aren't already doing so and see if that helps.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] freibergisch:
Hi,

I have got a mediatek powered phablet and I miss the wireless display settings.

So i decided to look over the settings.apk and saw the following line in xml/display_settings.xml:

<PreferenceScreen android:title="@string/wifi_display_settings_title" android:key="wifi_display" android:fragment="com.android.settings.wfd.WifiDisplaySettings" />

But there is no wifi_display setting..

Is there a method to activate the desired option? Maybe it is only hidden and I have to unhide it.. I installed an app to show the wfd dialog, works fine. But I want the android settings way to do this..

Could you please help me?

Thanks a lot! :)

Best regards

Marcus
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lacoursiere18:
Check in your settings apk for that fragment listed.."android:fragment="com.android.settings.wfd.WifiDisplaySettings"

If it there they it should be fairly easy..

Maybe it's missing a layout or something else. Snoop around;)

I thought I would be moving from the G2 to the St, until they announced it. I was convinced it was going to blow me away, but for me it failed.

I have, however moved (when it's delivered tonorow) to the Z2. I don't know why I have fallen in love with it, but I have.

On the other side, the Z2 is going to have to be an amazing phone to live up to the G2. Never ever ever ever, would I have thought I would own an LG phone, but wow, it is truly amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Best phone I have ever owned!!!!

Use a custom launcher

I had the GS3 (best phone I had before the G2) and TouchWiz never bothered me since I immediately installed Nova Launcher. In fact I had the original Galaxy, the G2 and the G3. And I had custom launchers on all of them. I don't think TouchWiz is either a make or break decision.

[G2 General] Ghstudent:
It does seem like my battery is beginning to break in a little more each charge I put it through. Here is what I'm working with currently:

It isn't bad by any means, I'm just hoping for more and more each time I'm reaching for the charger. If I were someone who used my phone ~3 hours a day I would be absolutely in love with this battery. Unfortunately I'm not. I'm on mine usually 5 hours or so a day.
[G2 General] wargreymon89:
You have to know that these tests are done with pre-release firmware often, and G2 at least were suffering a bit from wakelocks at start. If they did a test now with KitKat it would blow the old value away, especially enduring.
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
The G2 already did very well, the tests attest to that. Just saying that the GS5 was supposed to be close to it.
[G2 General] :
I have never once in my life gotten as good battery life from Samsung phones, that are reported in tests. They always have some software crap that eats battery on the background and you can't get rid of it without rooting and that in turn flags Knox. Some friends who bought the S5 are saying the same - they have issues with the battery.

This is why I absolutely never trust battery tests unless they are done be real users and in real life for an extended period of time.
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
Lol, thats understandable. They do it in ideal conditions, ie excellent signal, 50% Brightness, no draining apps etc. Also AMOLED kills battery on web due to all white background as all sub pixels are needed for white. AMOLED uses more battery than LCD in such conditions by +100% or more. Not to mention at full brighness, and the screen burn to top it off after a few months which I have seen.
[G2 General] :
they also turn yellow, lcd doesnt do that. Just look at an old samoled screen.

this phone is yet to be oudated mwahhahah.
[G2 General] Ghstudent:
Alright, here is an update on the battery, went out and got hammered with some friends last night and didn't have the opportunity to charge. I was actually quite impressed!
[G2 General] phoenix_rizzen:
Ouch! 3 hours screen-on == 75% battery used? That should only be 50% battery used at most on a modern phone.

Typos courtesy of my LG G2 (D803) running Mahdi-ROM.
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
Im sure you can get more out of it because my old Galaxy S Vibrant used to get 3+ Hrs web screen time and that AMOLED was less efficient than the one in the S5, so try using 50% brightness or below, and disable the Sammy Bloat.
[G2 General] Ghstudent:
Most Samsung bloat is already disabled.
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
I see you are on LTE, thats one cause. I use a Sprint Airave because signal in my area is bad, it gives me full bars on all my phones but cant give LTE output. I use only 3G in general as its fast enough and saves my battery when I am outside and WiFi at home. Data is a killer, hope you are using WiFi whenever possible.
[G2 General] Ghstudent:
I'm not on LTE, I'm in a HSPA+ area. But I do use WiFi whenever possible. Samsung actually has a nice little feature that makes WiFi a little more enticing called smart network switch.
[G2 General] abhinav.tella:
Try disabling the auto connect thing because if its anything like Sprint/AT&T Connections Optimizer it will actually drain battery.

LG Intelligent agent on all LG phones is supposed to do the same same thing.
[G2 General] Allesa:
S5 battery seriously not that good as reviewed by gsmarena.

I had g2 d802 and usually gets 7.5- 8 hours SOT while on wifi all day, while my s5 only managed 6h23m also on wifi. Out of the box it was worse tho, only 4-5 hrs SOT. I got the exynos one here in Indonesia, but from what i read on s5 forum, people having the s801 also complaining about battery life. Only a small number of them passes the 7 hr mark.

Maybe it depends on how we use the devices. GSMArena includes video playback test, which in my case does not concern me. I never watch movies on my phone. From what i heard, AMOLED screens excel in video, while G2's screen memory excels in web browsing, instant messaging, etc, which mostly i use my phone for.

I dont really feel s5 is THAT snappier. I never play games on my phones, mind you. For my use s800 is more than enough

I dont really notice the camera department, as i use two phones and my other one is L1020. Never bothered to really test the cameras on G2 or s5.

1 week after purchase, my s5 bottom flap broken from no fault of mine. I opened the flap normally to charge and i got broken into half. Never happened before on my previous waterproof phones XZ and Z1. Imagine if it did not broke in an instant, maybe half cracked, and i plunged into water in that condition.... Luckily samsung covered that on their warranty, and ordered a replacement flap.

All in all, i'm 70% sure im trading my S5 with my friends' G2+cash in a couple of days, :laugh:

[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Fourgig:
I've dropped my Jamin a few times and since the OEM case doesn't protect the corners of the phone, the housing looks like crap. So, I decided to look for a replacement housing.

Can't remember if I saw the post on here or at howardforums.com, but someone had pointed out that this place sells Dopod/Qtek housings.

http://cnn.cn/shop/dopod-e818-housing-p-704.html

I ordered a case and paid via Paypal. The order went thru fine but then the order status page was stuck on "payment received" for about a week and a half. I sent an email asking when my housing would ship and suddenly a shipment notification email arrived the next day. Don't know if that's a coincidence or not, but it shipped and that's what matters.

Received the case today and I was surprised to receive an O2 XDA case instead of a Dopod or Qtek housing. Actually, this was a good thing because I think the O2 logo is much more attractive than Dopod or Qtek. :)

I popped open my Jamin, swapped out all the guts into the new housing and pressed the power button. My Jamin still works! :D

But there's a problem...the stylus is REALLY loose in the new housing! #@%$#@!! I'm positive I didn't have any extra parts left over when I put the thing back together! I crack open the housing again to see what the cause is. Comparing the old and new housing (the middle piece, since that's where the stylus resides), I see that the new housing is missing a little white plastic part that holds the stylus. Unfortunately that little piece is welded onto the old housing! Lucky for me, the middle piece of my old housing only has very small anf faint scratches. So instead of trying to remove the welded stylus holder, I elect to reuse the middle piece of my old housing. Put everything back together again...problem solved!

My Jamin (now XDA) looks like new again. Overall, I think it was money well spent.

BTW, I used these instructions (linked in wiki) to help me change the housing.

http://www.modaco.com/index.php?s=b2088e44f8506a561c3db87e1bb575d4&showtopic=240109

IMO, the instructions could be much better. When I have time, I think I will write a better set with more pictures.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] RootNoob1299:
I've looked around the forums and everywhere online but no one seems to have a solution to my problem. A few days ago i was using my Nexus 7 and i placed it down normally and shut the screen off. I came back to use it a few minutes later and the screen didn't turn on though the device itself was still on. I thought maybe it was just some lag which happens occasionally after i press the power button. I tried restarting it but the screen just stayed black. I think it is still charging because the led notification light still lights up every few seconds as usual and it still seems to be powered on. Is there a possible solution to fix this quickly or would i have to send it back to ASUS since it has been about 6 months since i purchased it?
