I'm at a crossroads right now... My S3 smashed 2 weeks ago so I picked up a M8 because there was no release date for the S5 yet. I have since ordered the S5 and planned on returning the M8 (very nice phone by the way but not super impressed with the camera). Flipping a coin and keeping the S5 hoping for root, etc. or keeping the M8 and root immediately.... merrrrrrrrrrrr
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] jspradling7:
I'd have to vote M8. I've had mine since release day and it's S-Off and running Viper. I'm really liking the M8, camera and all. I got the S5 yesterday and I messed with it all last night and today, so far my impression is "Meh... really?" Not loving the S5 yet.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Guadalupeohara:
Not bad for me. i think some people not know how to use it perfectly.. i Hope it will increased ASAP..

You don't have to wait

I felt the same way as you but didn't want to wait. Keep an eye on slickdeals for a fast 64gb micro sd. The new fast ones (I got the Samsung Plus 64gb) and honestly you can really notice the read write time performance. I'm never waiting for apps/pics/vids to load from my micro sd on this phone. It's just like internal memory. I directly compared this with my slightly older sandisk 64gb micro from last year and it's night and day. I got it for $32 on a deal but it's $46 now on amazon. It won't let me post external links since I'm new.

Totally worth being an early adopter. Order your 16GB S5 with that card and don't look back. If you need a ton of space down the road, get a fast 128gb micro sd when it launches.

Might be blabbering here.. but you can't discount the speed of sd cards. You can't think of it like 48mb/s, but more like 10mb/.2 seconds. This little bursts are what your apps and other things need to boot quickly.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Chucky5150:
I got the S3 the day it come out on Verizon. There were issues with a locked bootloader and what-not with that. It was just a matter of time until you could unlock it with a simple app install.

I do like my S5 as it is. I do hope with time there'll be work arounds for what Verizon had put in place.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] bobbarker2:
You are obviously not acquainted with changes made since the S3. Take a look at the S4 forums, the only way you can unlock the bootloader is if your phone came with a specific firmware and you did not do any OTA updates to change it. This is because of a specific exploit found in that version, which Samsung/Verizon quickly patched and the phone has been locked down ever since. Sure, it's possible that an exploit will be found in the VZW S5 but it won't be something simple as downloading an app and clicking "Unlock". And you can believe as soon as it's public, it will get patched with an OTA.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] das7982:
I vividly remember this as well. It's only a matter of time before root or bootloader unlock is achieved. Some developer out there will want to come to the rescue. I know several that love playing hero

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Surlyinvancouver:
I have been happily running ViperOne 5.8 for a while.

When trying to upgrade to the 6.0.0, after the updating apps window finished, a very persistent window kept reappearing : setup wizard has stopped working. I pressed OK a few dozen times before giving up on that.

I was able to access the notification bar and the venom tweaks were working too, so I was able to access Task Manager (through a longpress setup in tweaks in 5.8) and kill the process . I noticed that I had lost all my settings; screensaver, folders, downloaded apps were gone, etc. When I went to recovery I saw that the TWRP 2.7 I had was back to 2.6.3.3 and the red HTC warning was back.

Now I'm back to my Nandroided ? Viperone 5.8 no issues.

I haven't seen any reports on this yet. Thoughts or solutions?

Thanks for the great work everyone on this forum.

Hello,

As you might know, you can swipe either from the top or the bottom to reveal the status- and navbar in Immersive Mode. Now would it be possible (preferably with Xposed) to disable one of these gestures? For example, you don't want to accidentally. And please don't ask me why, I just want to know if it is possible. ;) Thanks.

Regards,

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saqibkhan:
I am on MIUI ICS v4.

I have 99swap in system/etc/init.d

I have the .swapfile in /scdard/.swapfile

..the problem is.. I have to manualy activate Swapfile everytime I reboot.. why is the script not working.. when I was on MIUI v5 by maxworks as well same like v4.. it used to work correct..

I have given the system.. the etc.. and init.d folder all access. Read.Write.Execute

Below is MIUI v5 Script that used to work when I used that ROM.

#!/system/bin/sh

#Created by neamv for maxworks. All rights reserved

filename=/sdcard/.swapfile

fsize=256

recreate_on_boot=1

#sleep=120

timeout=240

while [ -z "`mount | grep "sdcard0 "`" ]; do

[ $timeout -lt 0 ] && exit 0

timeout=$(($timeout-10))

sleep 10

done

[ -n "`mount | grep "sdcard .*ntfs"`" ] && exit 0

if [ "$recreate_on_boot" == 1 ]; then

dd if=/dev/zero of=$filename"_new" bs=1024 count=$(($fsize*1024)) && mkswap $filename"_new" && mv $filename"_new" $filename

else

[ -f $filename ] && [ `stat -t $filename | awk '{print ($2)}'` -ne $(($fsize*1024*1024)) ] && rm $filename

[ ! -f $filename ] && dd if=/dev/zero of=$filename bs=1024 count=$(($fsize*1024)) && mkswap $filename

fi

swapon $filename

and below now is v4 script that doesn't work

#!/sbin/sh

#Created by neamv for maxworks. All rights reserved

filename=/sdcard/.swapfile

fsize=256

recreate_on_boot=1

timeout=240

while [ -z "`mount | grep "sdcard "`" ]; do

[ $timeout -lt 0 ] && exit 0

timeout=$(($timeout-10))

sleep 10

done

[ -n "`mount | grep "sdcard .*ntfs"`" ] && exit 0

if [ "$recreate_on_boot" == 1 ]; then

dd if=/dev/zero of=$filename"_new" bs=1024 count=$(($fsize*1024)) && mkswap $filename"_new" && mv $filename"_new" $filename

else

[ -f $filename ] && [ `stat -t $filename | awk '{print ($2)}'` -ne $(($fsize*1024*1024)) ] && rm $filename

[ ! -f $filename ] && dd if=/dev/zero of=$filename bs=1024 count=$(($fsize*1024)) && mkswap $filename

fi

swapon $filename

I didn't want to mess my phone.. so I thougt to ask. Plz automate the process of the Swapfile getting loaded after reboot.. it actually should be created on every boot at a different place in the SD-Card.. this is what I read from Maxworks.

Edit.. One more Question.. If I can.. to make my phone fun faster.. how large should I create the .swapfile.. lets say.. 512MB ?? 1 gb ?? and how to set the swappines.. (and no.. I don't want to use Swapper2)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saqibkhan:
BUMP
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ervinbolat:
Well, it should work, but may be caused by extensive brake swap. Try chaging the swap size

You can edit the file / system/etc/init.d/99swap replacing in fsize 256 to 64 for example.
[Shield Android Development] hexitnow:
I don't like having a solid color for a background when I open my app drawer, and don't really care for any of the third party launchers, so I modified the stock launcher to be transparent. This was created using the stock kitkat launcher so make sure you're on kitkat before attempting to flash. You must be rooted or have CWM installed.

CWM Flashable

Reboot to CWM and flash away.

APK that can be flashed with a root file explorer

With a root file explorer copy Launcher2.apk to /system/priv-app, if it ask's about overwriting proceed with that. After it's been copied set the permission's to rw-, r--, r--. Reboot shield.

Just to be on the safe side before flashing/copying I would make a copy of the stock launcher that way if you want to revert you can. I would either copy the stock launcher to the download folder or copy it to the same folder and then add the file extension .bak, I will eventually be creating a version that includes the stock launcher as well. I hope you enjoy and thanks for downloading!

How did you try installing it? I used both methods and both worked for me. Youre on kitkat right? Lemme know and ill get if fixed.
[Shield Android Development] Doodle210:
I managed to get it, but it takes like 5 minutes to load the "desktop?" and app drawer... I get stuck on a black screen for 2 minutes, then my wallpaper comes out for 3 minutes and then everything loads, only thing I can use is double tap the home button and drag down the top and mess with settings. Now I must make sure I don't restart my device...
[Shield Android Development] hexitnow:
Yeah something's not right. You're on kitkat correct?
[Shield Android Development] Doodle210:
Yes. At first I just kept getting boot loops, then I managed to boot into it and everything started working again, but as I said, long load times the first 5 minutes. I'll probably flash back stock and try all over again.

Since Netflix on the Fire TV doesn't support other countries than the US (even with unblock us), this might give me more info regarding why, will have to borrow a USB keyboard now.

[Fire TV General] Senaxx:
I got netflix working with "unlocator". I live in the EU and had to set the DNS in my router. That made it work. I downloaded latest netflix from the store and sideloaded that app, but it's made for touch controls. Atleast the old netflix is working.
[Fire TV General] JPDeckers:
What exactly works w/ unlocator? US netflix works for me as well using unblock us, problem is in the local UK/NL versions, they don't work with the stock Netflix app. The side loaded version indeed does work, see my post in the Q&A section. ( to get around touch controls limitations, first start on your phone/tablet, then on the sideloaded netflix)

Still kinda stuck on local (NL/UK) Netflix w/ stock app, or are you saying this works with unlocator ?

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] troydbrown:
A 701 text message is a trigger message for your phone to download email. You have at least one email account setup through T-Mobile. If you still want to use the triggered email download simply run the T-Mobile setup application in Programs and tell it to download your existing accounts and you are done. If you don’t want to use that anymore like myself, log in to you’re my T-Mobile account and Go to Email and delete out your configured mailboxes and then manually configure them on the MDA. That’s all it takes.

About 2 years ago, I've sold my SIII to a good friend,

How is this possible? Can I remove this device from 'my devices' and most importantly; how can you prevent this when buying a used phone?

Best solution for used phones:

go for a full wipe. And install a new Stock rom. (found in this forum)

So as many of you waiting for your pre-orders last week I went ahead and looked for an ultra slim case for everyday use. Spigen seemed to be a household name and went ahead and bought their Ultra Fit for $10:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I3ULRZG

I was satisfied with it, matte white, fit perfect and snug, protected the back camera and sensors when placed on a table, nothing to complain about. I had thrown out the screen cover because the cut outs were not precise at all, in fact there was no cut out for the upper sensors, only for the home button. Why would i ruin front camera quality with the screen protector over it? yuck.

I then came across Ringke Slim. I have never heard of them before but judging by their high number of reviews, it seemed that they were well versed as well in the case game. at this time i also wanted to get an electric blue case because i got tired of plain white super quick. Also, the screen protector actually had the PERFECT cut out for all sensors and front camera. This was super impressive to me and I gladly put it on even though I don't care much for screen covers in general. This is what i ordered for $9 including shipping:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IPKHP64

Well i received it today and WOW it was made of a far superior plastic. It wasn't because it was thicker but it felt very different. it felt more denser, less paper like. i compared tapping each and the Spigen was very "airy" felt cheap and very "hollow" (best way i could describe it). The sides were completely covered as opposed open which isn't a bad thing but it did feel more complete as a case. Cut outs were perfect as well and charging hasn't been a problem. I quickly realized the Spigen case is actually not as great as I thought now that I had something to really compare it to. I started seeing on the Spigen where the plastic was punched out of the mold (check picture).

Anyways enough talk here's the pictures:

http://dl-1.va.us.xda-developers.co....jpg?key=nBsLK_haY5suFrjdcOa0hA&ts=1397604778

And the gallery plus the Spigen white case for comparison. Notice the inside of the Spigen, wasn't even spray painted completely most likely because they used a clamp to spin it while spraying

http://imgur.com/a/MxMFH

As you can tell Ringke > Spigen in the affordable ultra slim case category.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] kurofox23?:
Agreed, i bought both through amazon, and while i didnt care to use any of the screen protectors the Ringke is MUCH better and really sleek looking. Material kind of feels like the back of the phone and even looks like the back. Only downside is i hate trying to get the freaking waterproof flap out at night! Grrrr
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] bhess:
I too have this case and am liking it.

It is hard to hook your fingernail to get the charging flap open although I assume most cases will be similar.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] peaster3:
Ok...I'll jump aboard. I bought two cases before I got the S5 in my hands. One was the Ringke and the other was the Spigen Tough Armor.

While the Tough Armor is a very solid case and looks great, it makes the S5 feel like a brick in my hands. On the other hand, the Ringke Slim has a similar texture and gripability as the S5 naked. It doesn't even feel like the device has a case on it at all.
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] Onyok:

[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] pgibbons:
I like the case. It feels good in your hand when you hold the phone.

One thing though, on my case the lip around the chrome front trim sides covers more than the lip on the top and bottom. At first I thought I didn't snap it in all the way but it seems like that's just the way it is? Is that how it fits for the rest of you that already have the case?
[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] fastfed:
That's how they all are. Actually I really like this design. It's almost as if its spring loaded, its smaller than our phone, it doesn't just fit like a glove, its actually too small. But the cut outs on the top and bottom allow the plastic to "flex" basically its as if its gripping the hell out of phone, holding into place.

The Spigen hybrid I had for my GS4 was awesome looking, but broke all the time (plastic by the bottom) in anycase, this one is just as nice IMO.

Doesn't add much thickness at all, but will save it from a drop and the camera while on a desk.

If anyone is wondering, I just dunked my phone for 30 minutes with this case. So it doesn't effect the IP68(yea, I said 8, because this thing is pretty much water PROOF) rating.
