[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrecless:
If your using a Verizon Galaxy S5 with a T-mobile sim like me. You just need to install a t-mobile rom and it will do everything a tmobile GS5 will do including wifi calling wifi teather 4g 3g edge ect... also the volte works. Verizon roms will give you bugs like 1x no servive when in a call or it wont let you change the voicemail number and kick you out of calls or give you a no sim error every time you hang up a call the list goes on and on. I'm using Twisted loli from the t-mobile section and it works perfect. If your already rooted Just install the 5.0 rom of your choice and boot directly to download mode then install the Vzw OC4 firmware only file with odin and thats it! Let it boot and you will now have a tmobile phone.

get the firmware here and make sure you only use the RETAIL FIRMWARE ONLY file. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784880
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lestwejest:
Apologies, but I am trying to upgrade my GS5 to lolli (using a Tmo sim in a Vzw GS5) and I was hoping you could be a little more clear in your instructions. (Still kind of a newb here). I have root, safestrap, etc. if you could just list out a little more detailed in steps what needs to be done that would be fantastic! Thanks in advance and sorry for not understanding so easily.

I'm using Twisted V7 from here http://xdaforums.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/development/rom-twi5ted-lollipop-5-0-v1-deviant-t3037766

Download and save it to your SD card.

Then go here and download the OC4 Retail Firmware Only file http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2784880

Save it to your desktop.

Boot to SafeStrap or Flashfire and do a wipe for clean install. Then install the downloaded rom like normal.

After it installs re-boot directly to Download Mode and plug your phone to your computer (if using FlashFire you need to select reboot to download mode before you flash or you'll have to do it manually after an unsuccessful boot)

Open Odin and click AP. Browse for the OC4 Retail Firmware Only file you saved and click start.

After a few seconds the process will complete and your phone will re-boot at that point you are done and can unplug from the computer.

Give the phone a few minutes to boot. Mine took about 5 minutes. That's it.

Question

_____________

Thanks for help

But what i'm spouse to do with Twisted V7 it is on sd card, should I install it or what?

Can you tell us. And I'm now working with this.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wrecless:
yes Twisted v7 is the rom
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aurfawce:

Hi, my phone went out of battery during the night.This morning Ive connected to the chsrger but it doesnt charge,i havent got a 2nd battery and when I connect it to the usb nothing happens!!! Why it isnt harging? What do I do???. Answer me as fast as possible please. mat1990dj@hotmail.com
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] thumbandit:
have u tried the wall charger or using a different usb port
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] nssrac:
Original charger and patience

Are you using the ORIGINAL charger and are you LEAVING IT FOR a while. If the battery went completely flat it takes some time for the MDA to recognise the charger (no light then all of a sudden it starts charging) . Don't know why. I'm not a techy but I'm sure someone here will tell you. Frightened me when it happened, but I'm sure I found the above answer on these pages.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] wizardragon:
Try taking the battery out and in again then try a different charger as it is more likely to be the charger/socket than the phone.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] paulrockliffe:
Another suggestion is if you have an old charger that you don't need, chop the plug off it, expose the wire and hold them to the correct battery terminals ont he battery. IE. positive to positive, negative to negative, the terminals are labelled on the battery.

After 5-10 minutes this should have jump-started your battery and your device should work and it should now charge.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] apadua:
Yeah - i had to do what Paul said, and it worked. TO be honest, I didn't expect it to.

[Windows Phone 8 General] cybermiguel:
1.- No idea about SMS transfers. Maybe iOS has its own storage system for storing sms.

2.- What do you mean by USB Streaming? Maybe you're confused, as the iPhone dock also has an analog line-out and can stream audio out of it. In Windows Phone, as well as in Android, you don't have that dock port as it's an Apple proprietary port. You're stuck with line out, which is not bad at all if you have a good cable and set it correctly.

3.- Currently, the best YouTube app for Windows Phone is MetroTube (which costs US$ 0.99). The other good app is YouTube HD (which is free). Both of them gives you great functionality and many options.

4.- Apple TV uses their own proprietary streaming system called AirPlay, while Nokia and every other phone manufacturer uses DLNA (which is a standard by the way). If you want your Apple TV to stream content from your phone (whether it's Windows Phone, Android, Blackberry, whatever), you need to download an app to your Apple TV device to work as a DLNA device. Once you've done that, you can easily stream content from your Nokia phone using Nokia Play To. (which uses DLNA)

5.- WPCentral is a good site with info. XDA forums are good as well.

6.- No idea as I have never used Google now myself. Sorry.

7.- You can use This or This app to see the phone battery percentage. Windows Phone 8.1 will show percentage on the notifications bar.

8.- There should be no problem at all configuring your enterprise account as "Exchange server" on the accounts settings.

Hope this post was helpful.
[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
Any time anybody requests "{don't freaking tell me to google it}" I assume they're an <REDACTED> who thinks their time is more valuable that that of the forum members who they expect to answer their easily-looked-up facts for them, and also so unintelligent that they think they'll save time writing a post rather than just looking it up themselves. These are behaviors I actively dis-incentivize on the forum, for example by not answering even if I know the answer, in the hopes that you or somebody else reading this post in the future will learn.

By the way, the #1 rule of this forum is "Search before posting".

Now, if you meant to say "I looked for a good site but there are so many; which one do you all prefer?", or maybe "I searched but all I got were support and specifications sites, and I want discussion and announcements" or something else of that variety, you should have said that. Give people an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge or Google-fu *without* sounding like an entitled <REDACTED> who can't be bothered to forum rules, and many of them will do so.

Oh, and it's "Lumia". I have no idea why people keep adding an extra 'n' to the name. It's a slightly weird letter combo in English, but not *that* weird, and it just looks wrong written with six letters instead of five so you don't even have the excuse that it "looks about right; I don't remember the real spelling".
[Windows Phone 8 General] dazza9075:
The individual who replied before hand, GDTD, is possible one of the few remaining developers that try and support the platform out in the open for no other benefit then to help and contribute to the community. Given the amount of inane questions that are asked on here through no other reason then laziness, much of which is directed at GDTD, its not hard to see why devs an long term contributors get a little peeved when asked questions that can easily be found out, the internet is full of just about anything you can think of, google even helps you find most of it, but xda is primary source of that information, not a regurgitator of it
[Windows Phone 8 General] Jilxz:
Cortana can give you the same thing as Google now. I like Cortana a lot better.

One site you can go to for more info on Windows Phone , is Windows Phone Central. http://www.wpcentral.com/

Hope I'm not in trouble for giving a link.
[Windows Phone 8 General] dazza9075:
Why would breaking Forum rule number 11 get you in to trouble?

As a general rule of thumb, if another site has information that is relevant to your post then post that information HERE then supply a link to the person who deserves credit.

Telling people to just go somewhere else to contribute is not good practice for XDA to continue to thrive.
[Windows Phone 8 General] Jilxz:
I'm really sorry . I never meant to break a rule. he was asking if there was somewhere he could get more info on Windows Phone and I gave him the link to where there is nothing but info on Windows Phone. I was trying to be helful and meant nothing against this great forum.

Thanks so much for reminding me of the rule as I confess I never read that rule.
[Windows Phone 8 General] GoodDayToDie:
"don't freaking tell me to google it" is disrespectful on the face of it, in addition to bordering on an outright violation of the forum rules. We are *not* here to be your personal interface to publicly available information. You blew "Respect me and I'll respect you" with your very first post [EDIT: in this thread]; I don't know why you expected to be respected after insulting everybody who reads the forum with that (confrontational!) bit of childish petulance.

FYI, I'm about 75% sure I could get you banned for immature piece of ASCII "art" - the mods *might* just edit it out with a pointed message to you instead - but I haven't bothered reporting you *yet* simply because my skin is thick enough to put up with some random person on the Internet who has an entitlement complex; I see them every day. You just happened to win the lottery on which one I responded to on that particular day. You seem to be an otherwise decent person, aside from a thin skin and the aforementioned childishness. "Making fun of" indeed! Guess what: I made fun of President GW Bush for his absurd mispronunciations on national TV. Act the fool where people can see you and they'll treat you like one. But pointing out that you misspelled a 5-letter word deserved a "lol oops" response, at most. Grow up, kid.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Baurblades43:
So just recently, my school re-did their whole Wifi, following this, they restricted access on almost everything, but their home website. I know you can get around this sort of thing using a VPN. However, I've tried a few VPN's and it seems they don't work because the VPN's API isn't availible? I assume this is because I'm running a custom ROM. So I was wondering, since I am running a custom ROM, is their a alternative thats possibly even better than using a VPN? I really can't just use mobile data since I've got a limit per month and its getting to that limit quickly.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] garwynn:
There are quite a few ROMs that still support VPN connections. But honestly, you're in the same boat as most corporate employees.

What most of us do? Use mobile data, wait until we go somewhere with free wi-fi or home.

Hey whats up guys,

Im looking at getting a z1 and found a good deal on a Z1s. However, being exclusive to T-mobile, it won't be as common as the Z1. So I'm afraid that ROM variety won't be as great as the normal Z1 or anyone knows if the Z1 ROMs are compatible with the Z1s?

What do you guys think?

Nope, they're not, simply, different models.

[Xperia Z1 General] mrcrusha829:
If I remember correctly you would not get LTE service on Tmobile with the Z1.
[Xperia Z1 General] handisnacks:
There are several variants, and there is an international Z1 variant that was LTE that works with T-Mobile, I think it's the C6903.

The main issue with buying an international version I think is the lack of warranty in the U.S. since it's not sold directly by Sony in the states. The only way to get a warranty on the "Z1" is to buy the Z1S from T-Mobile :( The regular unlocked Xperia Z is sold in the U.S. by Sony however and has a warranty if you want to go that route... but you'd get the Qualcomm S4 instead of the 800.

EDIT - Here is the international version that works with T-Mo in the U.S., but as I said, no warranty.

[Xperia Z1 General] andino:
I don't think so. The Z1 is sold on sony's online store. I think you can get the 6902 and 6906 from Sony.com. The 6903/6906 will get LTE on tmo

Locked or not it's still a damn good phone.
[One (M8) Accessories] Jmack3d:
Hey everyone, so I know there's a few thread about cases which I've read through. But what I'm looking for is any info on good quality clear cases.

The main factor I like is the appearance. It's just about time a company really put an effort into the looks as well as the performance of a current Gen smartphone.

So my question is what clear cases are out there that some of you possibly already have or have seen online? I've scoured amazon and other sites and found some good ones, but still haven't found the "one".

Currently I own the otterbox commuter (too big, covers whole phone), the supcase hybrid with clear back which is what I currently have on. And I placed an order yesterday for the exact prism case with the clear back. Though I now realize the prism and supcase are probably the same exact case....

My issue with the supcase hybrid clear back is the scratches that accumulate so easily on the back. Most of the cases out there are simply cheap. Some are very good for the money but I'm looking for long lasting durable quality.

I have an eye on the supcase unicorn beetle hybrid as well but my turn off is the back being frosted to the point that you can't see the detail or shine of the m8. At least that's what I've seen in pictures.

I'll use an all clear or some kind of hybrid bumper clear back case. I also saw the griffin reveal case, but I can't find any good pics. And from the description it looks like it's the same material as the supcase bumper hybrid. I was hoping the griffins clear back would be a solid hard scratch resistant material.

I've also seen the case mate barely there and some others. So if any of you have any other clear or partly clear cases please post some feedback on how you like them and pics would be great too!

[One (M8) Accessories] Jmack3d:
Is it the maverick?
[One (M8) Accessories] MoNsTeReNeRgY22:
Yes it is.

Just a word of caution with clear cases, they have a tendency to collect lint and crap which is easily noticeable. I had the cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case clear and ended up selling it to a buddy. The pocket lint and crap collects under it and bugged the crap out of me. I cancelled my clear UAG order and changed it to black in fear of the same problem.

Now this might not bother some, but bothered me enough to share.

I also have this case. Some people have said the edges look yellow. Um no. If the lighting in the room has some yellow in it then it will look like that on the thick sides.

Vs flash and one of the camera lenses being one cut out for both.

I too have the case but pictures using flash don't look right. Almost like the case diffuses the flash light so it's not direct out as well at the object you are photographing.

I have this case as well. I like how the power and volume buttons are covered. I can see where some say the case looks yellow, but you really have to take a close look to even notice.

All in all I am happy with the case. My one complaint is a sharp line that extents all around the back of the phone. I think it would have been better to have made this smooth as it would be more comfortable in hand.

Dropped my phone on the bleachers at the game, found my volume up button dented in, non-functional.
