[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mistertac:
MDK allowed for the Loki exploit which long story short... allows for your custom recovery and custom kernels/ROMs .

The bootloader isn't truly unlocked like on a Sprint or TMobile S4 but essentially Loki gets you the same end result .

Good luck! I'm sure you'll be able to find one on Swappa and they're cheaper now that the S5 is out.

Hi, I have a GT-i9100g and Cyanogenmod 10.1.3. The mod has no Radio FM so I'm using Spirit FM. I also use Runtastic Pro when jogging. It has a voice coach that plays when I'm jogging, telling me about my speed and etc. However, when playing Spirit FM, the voice coach as well as the radio disappeared. This does not happen with the music players, where I can still hear the voice coach while listening to music. Can anyone help?

Hello!

Proud owner of M7 and soon of M8 I wonder if the screen of the M8 is as good or better under direct sunlight as I live in a 9 months a year sunny days?

I red in reviews that it's slightly better than M7 meaning very good but I want to hear real users and how they compare it with other phones (sony,samsung,HTC,LG...)

Hi Guys,

the time has come for me to part with my beloved MDA PRO.

I have had it for 2 months and a change in job has forced me to get something smaller.

It Has everything that came with it when it was new 2 months ago. Even all the plastics box, manuals, cds, cable ties, spare pen, charger, usb cable, leather case... and anything else that came with it. The whole box and its contents.

I also have tomtom installed on it, and it comes with a blutooth GPS reciver. Everything you need to get up and go. Tomtom comes with UK Speed camera database, Full UK Postcode Search, and lots of points of intrest such as MC D's Argos, and lots others.

There are no marks on it, only 2 slight scratches, so small you wouldn t find them even if you looked.

I will also give a pack of screen protectors.

I am looking for around £350 for the whole lot

call me and make me an offer if you like.

I can put any rom you wish on it, and i can also unlock it.

so give me a call, make me an offer

my number is 07962 44 22 66 (UK)

cheers guys

take care

On the day of the release, the moment I got home, I got ready for the gym, and did my usual routine. I required more electrolytes than usual, and I knew just the trick...

I don't encourage everyone to try this... Just in case your device for some reason isn't fully sealed like its supposed to be, but when I saw a video online of it underwater for 15 minutes I thought "Hey why not?"

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PuckX:
Ha! Kudos to you guys who are balsy enough to do this with your new phone. It is good to see that it is living up to the hype, but you will not catch me doing that anytime soon. I used mine in the rain yesterday though without worrying about it, which was nice. Good to know if I pull one of my too drunk to remember my phone is in my pocket jump in a pool/river/lake that my phone has a chance of survival though!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] z0mghenry:
I did it this morning. It seems little bit of water got into the speakers so the sounds were kind of gargled? But it cleared itself up within the next 30 min.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cpufrost:
To be honest guys/gals I would not casually dunk the phone.

It's like wrecking your car to test the airbag...

Ok perhaps not as dramatic but the last post with the speaker ingress just brought up an important point. Your phone may appear to be OK but you don't know over a period of time how it may affect its longevity. The water resistance is for those oops moments where you forget and it prevents a costly repair.

IMHO if you want to swim and use the phone regularly around water you're still best using a third party case (lifeproof).

Fluids with high ion content (ex. sea water) are very corrosive and will also leave behind a highly hygroscopic residue. So whenever the device is exposed to high humidity environments, the residue becomes very moist, even dripping wet along with being very conductive. Not something you want in your speakers or lurking on the contacts of the headphone jack, for example! Just a simple wash off in fresh water isn't going to remove these remnants. High grade distilled water with greater than 18 megohms conductance is really the safest thing for a flush but you're still not going to remove every spec of intrusive FOD...

This is why these so called treatments (liquipel) are a false sense of security. The best way to keep your devices in top shape is to prevent liquids from touching them in the first place! :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] hlb3:
I have zero plans of dunking my phone, but I'm glad to see that it works as advertised. I've lost 2 phones to accidental water damage over the years, so it is a good piece of mind.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] amsguitarist:
You don't mean conductance, but rather resistance? Haha, not trying to nitpick but that conflict really stood out to me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Fidelio_o:
I check out some porn while in the shower for you guys. You know for testing purposes, and it perform pretty well. No issues. Signal was a little wonky for a few minutes but it's back to normal now. So there's that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cpufrost:
The mistake is where I posted MOHM. It should be MMOH. :o

Conductance is the reciprocal (opposite) of resistance. The unit of measure in resistance is the Ohm and conductance is measured in the Mho. Notice it's Ohm spelled backward? Most meters/standards use Siemens, named after Ernst Werner von Siemens and is expressed as S=Ohm^-1=A/V.

Purest water is an insulator at surprisingly high voltage but its purity doesn't last long with exposure to ambient environments. The Liquipel demos with phones running under water in trays are most certainly done with distilled or deionized water of very high quality. Try doing that with tap water which has a much higher conductance and see what happens. Sea water? Might as well put it out of its misery with a .357. :cowboy:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] sk8trix:
Wow not brave enough to dunk it in water but...I used mine too in the rain without worries so I like knowing my phone is safer than my S3 or S4 would have been.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] amsguitarist:
Yeah I understand the properties of DI water. The facility I work at has a high quality deionized water system. No ions = high resistance.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jonrobertd:
Yeah dunked my first one too, guess what, I'm on my second. ATT warrantied it as the volume up button went wonky, volume going up on it at all times without me pressing the button, then just quit working at all. Phone worked fine for two days, dunked in sink, volume quit. WON'T be dunking this one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] mikeeey:
Wow sorry to hear that happened. Did you see any bubbles come out of the phone at all?

I actually don't plan to submerge mine anymore, I just wanted to do it at least once, and to get a sense of how waterproof it is in case I ever do have any accidents.

lol, actually when I brought mine in the shower (though unlike you, not for porn), the water hitting the screen was acting as presses to the screen. Made it very difficult to use the phone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] jonrobertd:
Nope it was in a case too, but I am almost positive water got it. Although I have changed my mind and will be dunking the second one tonight just because my 14 days are not up and I want to know if it is truely waterproof.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] bailey37821:
LOL, agreed. I'm not certain how that conflict stood out to him. It is indeed increased conductivity in your original statement context.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] amsguitarist:
DI Water has DECREASED conductivity. It has no electrolytes to conduct charge. It has HIGH resistance. Please refer back to your introductory chemistry class.

I don't think you understand what he was trying to explain. His original post said that high grade DI or distilled water has greater than 18 megohm conductance.

OHM is a unit of resistivity. So a greater amount of resistivity of water is desirable because that means there is an absence of electrolytes. If he meant conductance, it should have actually been a very low number, where less is more desireable. So what he said is in itself a completely conflicting statement unless you replace conductance with resistance in his statement.

Even with his correction of claiming to use the wrong units, DI water conductance would be in Micro Siemens which is much much much less than a mega Siemen. I assume it was a recall mistake and then a mis-correction of the original statement after he looked it up on Wikipedia.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cpufrost:
ROFL.

Assume is right.

Of course it's been some 30 years since I've worked in the biz as an engineer. :rolleyes:

In any case, at the trade shows ask them what kind of water they have the phone in. Bring a pocket conductance meter with you. ;)

Guess what, they won't cooperate. I recall back in the 90s attending CLEO they did not appreciate nor cooperate with me and my tools. Just as a magician doesn't want someone showing the tricks...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] bailey37821:
Was commenting on conductivity as related to the statement on salt water. So evidently I did read the original statement wrong. I assumed he was pointing out the fact that salt water or other impurities in tap water would be conductive. I'll go back and read it again.

---------- Post added at 03:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:24 PM ----------

Yep. I see it now. Just a misunderstanding. I was agreeing with the 1st part of the statement and misread the argument to the DI water part of it. I still agree with the statements idea as a whole.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] amsguitarist:
Yes. The overall statements are correct. Sorry. Didn't mean to be too condescending but I work with chemicals everyday and it's extremely irritating to see misinformation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] bailey37821:
No prob for me. I guess I read it quick and just took in the overall "flavor" of the statement. I did not catch your argument as being specifically for DI water. I do a lot of work with pulling Hydrogen by electrolysis out of water and so knew exactly what he was getting at. I skip over the verbage a lot...like talking about drawing a line in the sand and saying this side is conductive and the other is resistive. Its really all just a measure of conductivity.

Hot and cold; Is it cold or do we actually measure the lack of heat? LOL
[Xperia Z2 Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hasenbein1966:
This is a really great tablet, and I like it very much.

But one thing is really irritating:

When in portrait mode (for me, the standard mode of operation) the scrolling is not really smooth. One side lags a bit behind the other so that a "wobbly" effect results. This is especially noticeable when scrolling fast, not so much when scrolling slowly. And it is especially noticeable when scrolling larger amounts of text.

The phenomenon doesn't occur in landscape mode.

The tablet has a very strong GPU and CPU, so this doesn't fit into the high-end-ishness of the device, and since the screen doesn't have the very highest resolution, scrolling should not pose such problems!

Does anyone know something about the reasons?

Would it be possible to eliminate the problem with a better graphics driver?

Could it be possible (on a rooted device) to "tell" Android on this device that portrait mode is the standard orientation instead of landscape, so that the wobbling at least occurs in landscape but not in portrait??

See first of all, If it's that necessary to make bootloader relock and going for S-OFF than here's a trick.

Site Name: http://www.mgyun.com/

Go to this site click on Brush Masters(Rounded Monitor Icon) somewhere on right lower side on the site. Install software,it's in chinese but it's completely safe,i've personally downloaded it so many times so kinda trust worth site.

Once installation complete open the software and click on Setting icon(last on first column) then numerous icons you will see so in order to make it shorter and easier for you "2nd row and 2nd icon" which looks like "open lock" click on it wait until software downloads proper driver for your device,once it completed your device will be in final stage where you'll be prompted either choose Yes or NO and Press Power Button once that done,your device will be restarted and you'll be relocked again.

Thanks.

I see your new launcher app XH Launcher - looks very good. Just a couple of enhancements to please consider;

Initial startup after reboot is slow to draw desktop

Duplication of some icons (Facebook, Chrome, Google Music, Phone, People etc) - given there isn't an app drawer these cant be deleted

Need ability to show normal icons from Android, as I already theme icons using Unicon (Xposed) - with this app my icons all have a mask that I dont want

Bottom of folders needs a little more padding (text too close to bottom)

5th row for icons

Please consider these small changes, would make perfect !!!

[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
That's what they said about KitKat, yet it introduced the Android OS, Android Kernel and Mediaserver battery drains... And the new SD permissions that is a nightmare for anyone without Root.... And a bootloader that made it impossible to roll back.

That's what they said about the S3 update last year that caused te device to freeze over 50 times a day (the SDSfix caused it).

That's what they said about several updates that were recalled because of fatal errors...

So pardon our reluctance to trust in that principle. ;)
[Galaxy Note 3 General] henklbr:
Strange: I've NO battery-drains at all, even with Gear 2 connected and 25 notifications active! My battery-usage is between 0,5-1,5%/hr!

SD-permissions is NOT the fault of Samsung: you'll have to blame Google about that!

Developers of apps were in-time informed about this change, but if they don't update their apps!
[Galaxy Note 3 General] ShadowLea:
That wasn't the point. They were introduced with the updates, regardless of who caused them.

I don't have the drain issues either, but there are more than enough people here who do to warrant it an issue. Idle mine drains 1% in 10 hours. (Also, what is the point of 25 notifications? You can't see past 8 without scrolling a massive way down... And they don't fit in the small bar, either... :p)

I know it was Google's doing. I have about 35 posts telling people exactly that. I never said it was Samsung's fault.

Most app devs are simply too lazy. (Particularly the ones in this country.. Have you seen the RTLnieuws app? Good grief... And the Skyradio app is a direct iOS port that can't even run in the background..) Take OfficeSuite. one of the largest, most popular and most expensive Office apps... And still no updates permission. They're blatantly ignoring it!
