[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grentuu:
I wasn't aware that Google had taken the stock gallery app out of the GPE. What made matters worse was I had disabled Google+ as it wasn't needed.

This caused me a problem when trying to quickly add my own choice of pictures to contacts. They have replaced gallery with Google + photos.

Works the same to assign to contact.

Just don't disable Google plus.

I should read up before I disable stuff !
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rfb813:
Metro PCS just announced the S5 without contract for $649.99. Since Metro PCS is now owned by T-Mobile I would assume that their S5 is the same as the T-Mobile S5 with the same LTE bands. Does anybody know this for sure. I am out of town and can't get to a Metro PCS store or a Best Buy to confirm.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] wtf911:
I was actually wondering the same thing myself and have looked into it. Here's what I've come up with.

T-Mobile - http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G900TZKATMB

MetroPCS - http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones/SM-G900TRKATMB

They are both listed as having the same bands and it seems implied they both fall under the SM-G900T. For rooting though it is listed separately as the SM-G900T1.

http://autoroot.chainfire.eu/

That said, perhaps someone can explain any possible differences.

On a side note since I'm trying to figure out which one to buy here is a comparison I've come up with:

tmobile - 720 after tax - unlock after 40 days - 50 per month cheapest

metropcs - 700 after tax - unlock after 90 days - 40 per month cheapest
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rfb813:
Thanks for the info. Now the question is which way to go.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] serialtoon:
Im very interested in buying the MetroPCS model as BestBuy.com sells it at regular price and they have an awesome 18-Month no interest if you use their card. Enticing enough that i bought one and will be testing it out on AT&T use. Worst case scenario i return it...big deal.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] rfb813:
Keep us informed on how it works. I may buy one to after I get back home.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] serialtoon:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cpufrost:
Anyone try this yet?

I have a TMO Note 3 that works great on ATT after entering the unlock code.

This looks like a good way to get a device on ATT and not have to wait possibly forever LOL for the exploit/root/unlock bootloader, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cpufrost:
Have one here, requested unlock code from cellunlocker.net. Got an email about 3 hours later that there's a delay and they need to check an alternative database.

I've read it's TMO and indeed it has wifi calling. As long as there are no issues with the unlock code (crosses fingers) I believe this should be a go just like my TMO note 3 on ATT. Have no problems using it whatsoever.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] cpufrost:
Updating in case anyone is interested.

Got my unlock code about three hours after yesterday's post.

Was able to unlock using deepfreeze code first, then network unlock code afterward!

I called ATT to switch a nano sim to a micro sim and mistakenly gave them the (Metro PCS) S5 IEMI! Don't do this as it will prevent LTE from working. I asked the associate if I could switch IEMIs and she said sure. I gave her the IEMI of my M8, restarted the phone and LTE is now working.

Just flashed TWRP and the Alliance Rom about an hour ago.

Running fine on ATT here with unlocked bootloader.

So if you're on ATT and want an S5 with an unlocked bootloader, this is probably the cheapest option outside of buying on swappa, etc.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] em0ney14:
I checked the APN settings in Google hangouts and it shows METROPCS as the selected APN, even though I am on a T MOBILE S5 And service.

What's weird is I never set up any APNs since having the phone so it must have came with those settings preinstalled.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Sennant:
What's the model number of the MetroPCS S5?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] xxjahasotoxx:
So I got a metro PCs phone unlocked it at https://www.unlocklocks.com/

And now I have it on T-Mobile no problems what so ever

I used hangouts for SMS so the apns where there already

And in order to enable the built in hotspot without root I went into wireless connections and added the APN for T-Mobile by copying everything as it was on my note 3, and just like that hotspot is activated

It's the same as tmobile I think, I'm using a metro pcs galaxy s5 and it says SM-G900T1
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] x573\/30:
Since there isn't a dedicated MetroPCS section due it being 99% compatible with TMO ROMs, etc. I'd like to post an issue here that I'm having with my S5 from MPCS in hopes someone else has found a resolution. The issue I'm having is getting a tethering "hack" to work with my service. Has anyone found one that works successfully for them? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] androidddaaron:

Identical just metro has some metro apps.

If u buy metro you have to wait 90 days before they will unlock it .

But u can pay to have it done .

I use t-mobile phones on metro all the time . But u can't use metro branded on t-mobile It's metro rules .

kernel

You need to find coorect kernels for yours devices, there 2 types, jdi and ldi kernels. You can find it in android development section.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjonesy:
I ended up sending my phone in for a warranty replacement.

A few hours after this problem started, the screen completely failed. Everything on the phone worked fine. I was able to make calls via BT in my car and could hear the touch sounds and vibration when I would try to interact with the screen, but the display would not turn on.

As far as I know, those kernels are patched to fix the "white lines" issue that people (mainly LS980 users) are experiencing. Now, I can't find a good picture of that issue, but this is definitely not "lines" of any color. I'm also convinced that this problem is not kernel related because after doing a TOT restore back to 11A, the problem persisted.

Hi I have the same problem with my LG G2 too. Sometimes the screen will come back on but it stutters and lags. After a while it would go to the white noise screen again. I'm going to send it in for repair under warranty but my phone is rooted and also have twrp installed. However I am using LG's stock ROM.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] facuarmo:
I don't want to be unrespectful, but I think that it's something like a video effect to show to the user that something went wrong, as long as those screens aren't "analogic" or coaxial-via connected. Maybe? Also, something similar happened to me with a bad "flex" screen video cable, can not be bad, maybe just dirty.

Those are just ideas, and nothing more, but please hear me and check for what I said.

Duuuuuuude!!!! You need a new flex cable!!! They are like 15 dollars on amazon. Im waiting for a repair shop to put a new flex board on my phone

When your screen is completely functional but its black, white or has this white noise, it means the flex cable is faulty. Just like a HDMI cable for your monitor can be faulty

I do love this phone a lot and I don't wanna get rid of it yet and all of the sudden I've Got the same white noise screen error in my old lg g2 d800. I did TOT, factory reset and I don't know what else to do.

I remember when this question was just silly but now all of these phones are "Global"

I know that you can get the GSM radios of a Verizon hardware to work with the ATT and Tmo networks now.

But - can you get an ATT hardware Samsung Note3 to work with Verizon's CDMA system? Or does "Global" just mean it has GSM radios?

[AT&T LG G2] sropedia:
I was just wondering if there is any active development or effort going towards getting a custom Recovery for D800s that are rooted with kitkat. I know that you can go back to stock jellybean and then re root and put back the old recovery and then flash away, but I've been holding off on attempting this assuming some talented developer would create a new custom Recovery sooner or later. If nobody is working on it then that's fine and I can use the former method, I would just like to know if me waiting is pointless or not.

Thank you

No the patches for some roms are because they support multiple devices and the patches are usually modified kernels to boot the different devices the baseband is for touch/gps/radio/rotation/etc there is a the w ad which has most of the jellybean basebands and cloudy has the stock kk basebands in most of his roms thread
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] NeoRio:
Hello, I'm new here. I just bought 2 Kindle Fire HDX tablets for my kids. The seller mistakenly sent me 2 HD units. I'm sending them back and will wait a few weeks for the seller to get HDX units. Over the last week I was able to use these HD tablets and get a feel for them. My family is pretty familiar with Android OS'es and even my 1 and a half year old uses our Android phones all the time. So, the Amazon OS was a little bit uncomfortable at first. But the main issue I had with these HD's is the way they drive you to download content and make it to where you very easily end up buying stuff you didn't want to buy, as opposed to the Google Play Store approach which seems to be more relaxed.

The Fire HDX's has better processing power than the Google Nexus 7, which is the main reason I went HDX vs the Nexus 7. The speakers are better too and maybe the colors on the screen also. But the rear-facing camera of the Nexus 7 and the portrait mode-design vs the Fire's landscaping mode-design is another consideration.

After spending the last few hours reading on rooting the Fire HDX, I'm not even sure I'll be able to do that depending on which firmware version my HDX'es end up coming with. If they have older FW versions, I guess I should not update anything before first rooting them, but if they have the later FW version, I won't be able to root them at all.

My questions so far are these...

* Once rooted, what can I do with my HDX?

* Do most people install a custom ROM on their HDX once rooted?

* Can I have a fully functional Android OS running on my HDX?

* Do some people leave Amazon's OS on the HDX and only install the Google Play Store?

* If I install an Android OS, would it have full functionality, like the Chrome browser, Voice commands, etc?

Based on the uncertainty of rooting the newer FW on the HDX, do you think it would be better for me to settle with Nexus 7 tablets instead?

Thank you for your time, I appreciate it.

Kind Regards,

Neo

Just looked up the LG Gpad and it looks nice, but I guess I'm just surprised to hear such a definitive warning to not waste time here. Do you mean the HDX is a waste of time (rooting and flashing it), or the Nexus 7 is a waste of time?

The HDX currently doesn't have any root in the latest update. If you want ROM support immediately, get a Nexus. If you can wait, get a Kindle.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Mineturtle33:
The HDX may never get a real ROM, and if the purchased device comes with an unrootable version 13.3.2.1+ you will be stuck with Amazon's garbage for who knows how long. That is why I recommended the gpad. The G-pad isnt the only alternative. The 2013 Nexus 7 is the same size & price point, has a much better *everything* and is plenty fast.

[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tl3:
I concur with Mineturtle33's advices--Nexus 7 is the hands-down choice if one wants a pure Android experience. I bought the Nexus 7, but I would never spend my own money to buy--nor recommend--a KFHDX. The only reason I have one is that it was given away to me, by someone that was frustrated and dissatisfied with its locked-down portal to Amazon's ecosystem. He wisely replaced it with a Nexus 7, and he's much happier now without any regret. The drawbacks of the FireOS outweigh any possible hardware spec advantages IMO.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] NeoRio:
Thanks for these great answers, helps flesh out the options for me. It makes sense that though the HDX has better specs in the area of processor and speakers, the Amazon OS's restrictive manner makes it a machine that you will want to flash to Android...and if that is not an easy thing, or may never be as satisfying as a native Android unit, I think going native Android may be the way to go. I appreciate the insight and thank you all for chiming in.

Install Safestrap, which makes recovering from oops much easier. THEN you can muck around.

I don't. My current setup lets me play in BOTH worlds... Amazon AND Google Play.

In fact, there is ONE custom ROM, and it's not quite working right.

Not yet. As stated, it's not quite working right, esp. for games.

I run both, and apps in both.

You can patch in Google Play without removing Amazon, which will give you chrome and voice commands and Google Now and the rest.

I'm still one of the lucky ones that has root. Mine has never updated itself. I love this little tablet. I spend most of my time in android but then use all the Amazon services that prime offers (like prime video)
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tl3:
Often overlooked, a glaring hardware deficiency is the lack of GPS and magnetometer for the majority of KFHDXs (non-4G)--rendering many offline-navigation and location-dependent apps and services useless.

A rear camera is also an essential and standard feature with most tablets nowadays--not available with KFHDXs. Thus, limited to taking selfies only, and scanning QRcodes and barcodes would be awkward and cumbersome if not impossible.

US$200+ for a tablet without these standard capabilities, no matter how good the CPU and speakers specs may be, is just not worthwhile. It's like buying a sports car, without the headlights and reverse-gear, which can only be driven within one particular state. This may be suitable for some, but the KFHDX is way too compromising and restrictive IMO, especially when there are other more capable contenders on the market. Rooting is secondary when the fundamentals are not available in the first place...

[MENTION=5827774]NeoRio[/MENTION] , I picked up a 7" HDX less than a week ago with the intention of rooting it before doing researching on its rootability. Luckily, my brand new HDX shipped with the version that is rootable. I never enabled WiFi on the amazon side, immediately rooted it and installed the Gapps ROM. The newest version has all amazon stuff removed, including auto updates. I never boot into the Amazon side and use all the Google apps just fine (aside from maps...it doesn't work properly for me). Its not perfect but works just fine for me. The issue is, theres no way to know which version of software yours will ship with, but I just wanted to share my experience.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] murso74:
The only reason I'm keeping this thing is because of the amazon instant video. It looks amazing. If I didn't have prime though I'd have gotten rid of this thing long ago. A lot of the apps made for it seem to be buggy and behind in updates. And the lack of gapps really sucks
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] kschang:
So do the dual-use setup (both Google Play and Amazon). You can keep Amazon instant... AND use GApps.

---------- Post added at 04:03 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:57 PM ----------

It's heavily dependent on the intended audience. Kindle Fire HDX is meant as a multimedia machine, and occasional Skype client, not a "do-everything" tablet. It plays games beautifully (both Amazon and Google Play, if patched).

If I want camera and nav I have my smartphone. My tablet is my second screen, with better text entry (bigger keyboard), usually running off my phone's WiFi hotspot.

Or to put it this way: if you want a do-everything (i.e. SUV), buy an SUV (a phablet, perhaps). Don't buy a sports car and moan about lack of cargo and passenger space and how it's not an SUV.
