Lets not forget the fact that if can't get wet. If you drop it its more than likely gonna be all banged up.. Good thing its got a crappy camera and you couldn't replace your point and shoot with it, because a good camera needs to have an option to replace the battery.. I mean is there any point and shoots that have a permanent battery? Go camping ever? Wanna go to disney world for the day and take hundreds of photos of the kids? like a normal point and shoot you better have another battery.

I've had the s5 6 days now and haven't seen any lag at all it is really quick it will get even better when some more roms come

The note 3 seems massive, but once you use it you'll never want to use a smaller screen again. I ditched mine for an Nexus 5, mainly for the Knox reasons and the pure hassle of it, but I still miss a bigger screen.

I came from a Note 2 and much prefer the s5 size. It fits in the hand better and the screen isn't that much smaller really. Still got the note 2 as a back up.

[Galaxy S 5 General] ukemochi:
Thanks man for the tip, the lag is gone. For all the people that say they don't see lag, use an HTC M8 for 30 minutes then use an S5, you will then see the lag.

Oh god please stop with the camera crap, if you care that much about a camera get a Nokia. I own the M8 and the S5 and the picture quality on both is great. And if it needs to be so damn good buy a real camera.

[Galaxy S 5 General] THFourteen:
Had mine for a few days now after moving from my S3.

Was a bit worried about touchwiz and lag but I'm on nova launcher and there is very little lag apart from opening the camera and gallery apps which I was expecting anyway.

So far love the phone. The one handed mode is excellent for when you are not sitting down. The camera is better than my s3.

Must say tho, there really isn't THAT much improvement from the s3, at the end of the day I think we have reaches a plateau in smart phones where each next version isn't all that much better than the previous.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dshunti28:
I don't know why all these people are preferring up the M8. I have an M8, Note 3, S5 and 5s and none of them really lag unless you download a pirate app. The M8 is fast, does have a great design and awesome speakers. but the wasted bezel, below par camera and lack of option are a deal breaker. It is fast and zippy but because the lack of options. Its like the android version of the iphone lol. Great phone still!!!

People comparing the note 3 to the S5. Both are awesome phones. My preference would be the S5 over the Note 3. Note 3 is a power horse and that massive screen is awesome.....if you don't have a tablet or laptop lol. I prefer the S5 for a couple reasons, the camera, fingerprint scanner, and the 5.1 inch screen. The note 3's 5.7 inch screen isn't that much bigger, but having the bigger screen makes the phone huge and into the phablet category. Just awkward to use sometimes and I see no point of having a phablet when I have a phone, tablet, and laptop! :laugh::laugh:

All phones listed above are awesome phones in their own respects, anyone owning any of them would be happy! Just a personal preference! :good:
[Galaxy S 5 General] irzero:
i have a note 3.

Looks like im screwed then lol.

i was going to use the note 3 for work and S5 for personal but i dont know now :(
[Galaxy S 5 General] apprentice:
They are both great phones but I prefer the larger screen/S-pen combo of the Note 3 and it will certainly be more than good enough until the Note 4 is released probably in August/September.
[Galaxy S 5 General] skrapi:
I won't be trading. I've played with I phones and they lag just as much. My s5 so far has improved from the s4 on the lag greatly. I think the phone is a great improvement. Waterproof? Hell yes. I live in a wet country and the s5 is doing good in wet weather and the bath lol.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Decesus:
First off, I wanted to clear this up: The S5 is Water Resistant, not Waterproof. Getting rained on? A-OK! Drop it in the toilet or bath, you're still good. Drop it in the ocean off a boat or in the deep end of your local pool, your SOL buddy.

Now that that's over with, I love my S5. I had a Droid X2 before briefly falling back on to the original Vibrant and it's everything I could want in an android device, spare the KNOX Security. I'd never go to Apple as I prefer to own my devices rather than rent them from the manufacturer.
[Galaxy S 5 General] skrapi:
I dropped it in my pond outside and that's about 5 foot deep. Took about 10 minutes to find it and it was working fine after getting the rubbish off it. Obviously this doesn't say its 100% waterproof but it is good.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Decesus:
Wow, that's awesome! I understand they may understate some feature to err on the side of caution, so it's good to hear that at times the water resistance is better than stated.
[Galaxy S 5 General] skrapi:
I'm hoping it wasn't just luck on my side. I saw a video on YouTube odd a guy putting it into a pool for an hour or something and it worked perfectly fine.
[Galaxy S 5 General] kms108:
The time and depth is just estimate, they have to play safe, that doesn't mean you can go swimming or put it in water for as long as you like.

[Xperia SP General] jURis_:
What if we made ​​a collection, for example, $0.5 times to 100 people for DooMLoRD that he did Easy Root toolkit for firmware 201 I do not know if that's true, but I read that DooMLoRD ended development Xperia SP. So this could be a kind of motivation for the recovery of the partial support of this model.

Maybe $0.5 is small, maybe $1 will be better. Everything is about discussion.
[Xperia SP General] aRc.:
Since this is the last Official firmware update for SP, confirmed by Sony, I don't know why/if DooM has said he won't support the SP anymore. I'm sure he can acquire the necessary files easily enough and get a fix out. How long did it take him to do the last one?
[Xperia SP General] QBerto:
Confirmed?
[Xperia SP General] mick232:
The development of a rooting toolkit doesn't depend on how much money is put on the table but rather if there is a vulnerability in the .201 kernel that can be exploited to gain root access.
[Xperia SP General] krokanic:
Is this true... Thats sony will not support our phone anymore....
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
Guys, Sony has NOT confirmed anything about future updates or end of life status..
[Xperia SP General] noahvt:
Well, they have sort of: unfortunately that post on that french forum was made on april 1st so there is no confirmation if this was either a joke or if it was real
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
Guys,

Doomlord has stated on his twitter that there will be no Rooting methode for 4.3 (201 build).. This is because Sony has patched older exploits and according to Doomlord there is no exploit in the kernel whatsoever that can be used to root the device.

So you can collect all you want but without an exploit it is just not possible..

(his twitter: http://bit.ly/doom_twt)
[Xperia SP General] aRc.:
They're not bringing 4.4 KitKat to SP, that tells me that they don't plan on updating the device further. We might get 4.3 patches, but nothing else.
[Xperia SP General] QBerto:
plz... Still is nothing confirmed about that....

Actually I think 4.4 will not come from Sony for SP, but still is not confirmed, until that, would be nice not confuse ppl about that
[Xperia SP General] zolaisugly:
Why would you need to collect for doomlord?.

he already had this device a collection was made and he got it hence why we have root available in the first place
[Xperia SP General] aRc.:
What...?
[Xperia SP General] QBerto:
RLY? Xperiablog is not a official site from Sony (as u can read at the bottom of the site), actually, a lot of post from their web redirect here to XDA.....

And nobody knows who is that guy that post that thing (actually, I just remembered, I see that post first here then Xperiablog).... not to mention was posted on 1st april, and is not an official announcement

If I'm serious, I think Sony will no give us 4.4.... but still is not confirmed, so NO

;)
[Xperia SP General] mrjraider:
Okay two things:

1: Sony has noting confirmed on their OWN blog! XperiaBlog is one made by fans!

2: For discussion about wheter we get the update or not: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2516663
[Xperia SP General] kidicarus1602:
Another pointless thread.

So your all complaining that the latest firmware is laggy and still has issues, why do you expect that there will be another firmware?

You all moaned tirelessly "When is 4.3 coming out?" now you have it and its no good.

And now you want to root the crappy buggy firmware, and you MUST HAVE 4.4 on your sp!!!

I have stayed on 4.1.2 rooted it and put up with crappy wifi signals

I WILL NOT be buying another Sony mobile as they are no good at maintaining their phones firmware wise.

Every Sony firmware has bugs, and I for one am fed up with it
[Xperia SP General] pranavthombare:
but downgrading and then upgrading is time consuming...you may have good internet connection but not everyone has it!! ONLY IF there was an availble tool to root .201 fw directly then it would be great for all the non rooted and LB xsp usrs
[Xperia SP General] sephirothmk:
Time consuming? Dude it's like 10 minutes when you have all the FTFs and tools. If you have a silly internet connection, download them, then don't delete them when you're done
[Xperia SP General] pranavthombare:
"WHEN YOU HAVE THE FTF" no offence but 745 mb with 512kbps connection will take time. and itll be really good of doomlord if he updates his tool for the latest fw for locked bootloaders
[Xperia SP General] smogf:
Exactly. Download and keep it.

Just leave a computer on for one night.

There isnt any exploit so you cant do this other way. Make this with downgrading... or... Unlock BL - simple.

And I'm pretty sure when someone find any method for root this firmware you will get it.
[Xperia SP General] sephirothmk:
Dude cmon! I had 512kbps internet a few years back, yet I didn't have any issues downloading 700MB DVD movies from the internet. Stop whining and start downloading.
[Xperia SP General] Sahaab:
Levered i believe also updates Xperiablog

Secondly nobody knows about 4.4 yet as now that same french site says due to the petitions they have decided to make it for xperia SP

Lastly i talked to doomlord about this before, he said to wait till November

who said that i have stopped support for Xperia SP? I am still working on kernel for this device :p

as for root... well if there is an exploit that works we will create a rootkit with it!

but as of now all known exploits have been patched...

dont mind the donations though :p {just kidding}

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] B3311:
From your previous posts, I doubt you'll find any help here. Your device is not a Note 3, and unless there are other owners with an identical clone /ripoff /copy, which seems unlikely, you're in the wrong place.

If you are connect your headset , the audio recording is flawless. In recording, if detached the headset, still recording audio. But! Next time the same noisy crap will return, when you try to do some record with voice.

Hey all,​

I have searched similar threads, wiki's, sites, etc. As far as I understand, my Big Red G2 should work on AT&T on 3G. There is conflicting information regarding 4G and LTE availability. Can I get 4G or LTE to work without rooting? And if I do activate on AT&T, does this mean no more OTA updates?

I am about to get my MDA sometime next week and as far as I know it is SIM locked (probably CID locked too). I am a Cingular customer and only have a Cingular and ATT SIM cards at my disposal.

My question is: Do I absolutely must have a T-Mobile SIM card in order to unlock the phone? Will I be able to unlock it w/o having any SIM card in? What if I stick my Cingular/ATT SIM cards?

Also - does the tutorial over here on how to SIM unlock it would also CID unlock it?

[Java for Android App Development] ExampleAndroidDeveloper:
Hi guys,

I am trying to encapsulate the AccountManager. Specifications: Be able to retrieve an ApiToken (easy one, just use getAuthToken()), be able to create a new account (another easy one, just use addAccount()) and be able to chose from multiple accounts. I am not able to find a solution for the last point. Choosing itself is not hard. Just make an own Activity or use the AccountPicker.

The problem is I can want to encapsulate this in a simple POJO, but the AccountPicker needs an activity to be started. Now you may say, just pass the current visible Activity to the POJO. Well here's another thing I want to be able to do: Keep a reference to the selected account, so the user does not have to select the correct account everytime the app tries to retrieve an API-token as this account should be passed to getAuthToken. So passing the current Activity does not really solve this issue.

Any ideas or links to solving this problem or to a better approach on this topic? I am a fairly new developer and find it hard to find tutorials/best practices on Android Application Programming Patterns, so I'd appriciate some links.

Best Regards,

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdoyle:
Hi,

Just picked up the S5 on Sunday, and so far I like it.

One thing I would like to do is, change the grid size.

I'm coming from a rooted Epic 4G with Cryogenmod on it, and I was able to actually have more widgets/icons on my homescreen than I can with this huge S5.

Is it possible to change the grid size/icons smaller to allow more on the screens?

There just seems to be a lot of wasted space right now.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vanButton:
It's not possible to change the grid on the Samsung launcher without rooting, however you can install a 3rd-party launcher such as Nova Launcher which will look and act much more like the stock launcher on Cyanogen, including custom grids.

Hope this helps.

[Verizon LG G2] desantim:
Reg. Bluetooth Audio -

I am having an issue, likely not related to Malladus, but could be. I use my phone in my car for bluetooth phone AND Audio. Audio being the key here.

Phone is working fine. Audio, will not work with anything except the stock "Music" app. I enjoy using DoubleTwist audio player, but nothing works to get it to play through the stereo. When I bring up the music app, it works fine, when I try to play through DoubleTwist, nothing happens. The stock toyota stereo shows my phone connected, audio enabled, the phone shows a track playing, but no audio is coming through. But if I load up the default music app, it starts working fine.

This has worked fine on AOSP roms before due to the fact that there is no "default" bluetooth stack player. I've read around, and the ROM is prioritizing the stock Music app. So I went and remove the Music app with root, now no audio will play except phone calls.

I am SURE someone has run into this. Is there a fix I am missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes :laugh:. Original Zopo ROMs don't work with (Xposed-)Framework. Remove battery, reinsert, plugin USB (connection to computer or mains adapter - you just need the 5 volts...), press Vol+ and power and hold them until screen comes aluve -> now you are back in recovery. Flash Xposed-Disabler-Recovery.zip located on root of your SD-card. After reboot you should be back in business.

There are some ROMs which support Xposed Framework: Best I found yet is ZP998Full_20140410 assembled by a_bait. This works for me.
