You're welcome. Sometimes it can get overwhelming or downright confusing especially when there's so many steps involved in an OP. Sometimes I wish they were more straight forward with less of the precautionary stuff but that would just cause the new folks even more headaches.

[MENTION=310513]MOD[/MENTION] can this thread be closed and labeled as solved?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PunchLick:
Ok so..

Its been about 12 days since I have had this phone. I thought I could be patient enough with it to maybe wait for a root (if developers are even still working on it.)

Turns out I am not so patient.. I would rather switch to a company like HTC who is kind enough to give tools to their customers who want the option to do what they want with their own ****ing cell phone that they purchased. :highfive:

Anyway..

My question is: Is anyone familiar with the return policy? I am pretty sure that it is 14 days and I can trade it back in hopefully for an M8, but if someone that has experience or knowledge with this can shed some more light I would be very grateful.

Second question would be do you guys think the HTC One M8 is the best option for me right now? Ill be going through at&t and I want to be able to root and flash roms. Preferably some of the more popular ones like AOKP or Pac-Man etc..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chillsen:
just go do it. why do you need to ask about it when you already know the terms. simply call them or go to the store. :confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] karmuh:
Later.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PunchLick:
I am not sure about the terms, that's why I posted on these forums asking. That's why I said "I'm pretty sure" and asked if someone who knew for sure could give me more details. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] chillsen:
what's the point of posting anything here. whats the point of even sharing your thoughts of switching. if you made your decision, just go and do it. why ask us when you can ask AT&T? just leave man
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PunchLick:
Because I bought it on launch day and I am not sure how many days you get before you can return the phone. A lot of people are switching too or getting the TMO version, so I think a topic like this could become helpful to others as well.

Not sure why you are being rude, if you aren't going to help or say anything worth reading just stop typing. I didn't mean to hurt anyone's feelings in showing that I think owning a locked down device isn't for me anymore.. it's still a great phone. I just thought I would be more patient or enjoy stock more, but I was wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] peaster3:
14 days from purchase to return and a $35 restocking fee are basically the terms.

Personally, I wouldn't switch. I think the S5 is a superior device even without root (for now). but you gotta do what's best for you. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PunchLick:
Thank you for a real reply and for the information, its really appreciated.

I think the S5 is a superior device too, but I really need root for certain apps. Not to mention flashing roms can be pretty fun.

Also sooo much bloat I just want to remove, not a big deal, but prefer a clean device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] hlb3:
Pretty sure mine will be going back in the next few days as well. I love the camera and the water resistance is great, but for the price, with the ehh battery life I've been getting and some annoying software stuff, it can't do anything that my international Note II can't.

In the future if/when someone can find an exploit and get root, I would definitely give it another shot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PunchLick:
Yea I completely agree. The cons just outweigh the pros for me personally in this situation!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Daxxer2007:
The bloat you can disable until root comes out
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] smknutson:
Ftfy
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cyberace1985:
I'm enjoying all these people giving up its really quite amusing. I had a backflip and an atrix your puny 12 day wait has nothing on the wait for those phones to have root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PunchLick:
Well the reason for the rush is I can return it for something that already has root and more development. I'd rather get more enjoyment now rather than hope and wait. Although if the return policy stated like 2 months or something, I'd honestly probably still wait those 2 months because I do enjoy this phone.

It's also the principal of the situation too though. I'm not ALL FOR companies that sell overpriced phones that, when bought, are just so locked down that i don't even feel like it's actually fully mine.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] smknutson:
I've got a week to decide, I may stop in to have a look at the competition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Josborne6:
I've been seeing a lot of people posting that they aren't getting that great of battery life. I'm getting about 36 hours uptime with about 6 hours screen. Is that better or worse than what you guys are seeing? TIA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] surf1:
There only seems to be a handful complaining, even on other forums people are getting crazy good battery life. Heck I can have on screen time of 4-5+ hours, tons of email, text, phone calls etc, all sync is on, gps is on etc.... and still have plenty life left at the end of the day, actually as I type this in similar situation I have 22% life left and been off the charger for 33 hours, and even browsing I still have 4 tabs open. First phone where the thought of not having enough battery doesn't even occur to me, going to be nice on trips lol.

Far as the OP, do what you have to do, though I don't know why you'd think root would've been available by now on this phone, this isn't the old days where people could crack same day. I liked the M8 but couldn't put up with the camera and bulkiness plus no water proofing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Jooosty:
I have the M8. If you like flashing and customizing it is a no brainer. I myself am running stock and still enjoy the device.

My wife has a S5. It's pretty and white and shimmers like nail polish. Perfect phone for a beautiful girl.

Also as far as the discussion of superiority of either device. It's an opinionated one. Each excels at their own intended goals.

If the camera of the M8 is scaring you, just ask yourself . " will I be on assignment for national geographic where I will need to take epic photos on the go?"

If you answered no, then this camera should be good enough for your personal use.

It seems like you're just asking for that little push for you to make the trade.

I am giving you that "push". Everything will be okay in HTC land....be free...

Oh yeah. Have fun with the raised speaker grills. The gamble on receiving two variations of the LCD screen and ... Yeah that's about it.

HTC UltimEight ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] adocorp:
It really depends on where you bought the device. Typical return policy would be 14 days. Some vendors do not charge a restocking fees on returns but "I heard" AT&T can charge you. This was forwarded to me from the sales rep. I got my S5 at Target and returned it. I was not charged with a restocking fee by them or At&t that I am aware of.

I got myself the M8 since I wanted root.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] djkinetic:
I have both, a gunmetal grey m8 and shimmery white tmo s5 sim unlocked for ATT, The m8 is great if you like to mod/customize, you can run Sense, GPE, or AOSP (cm is already being worked on)...The s5 (ATT) obviously is locked down....both phones are very nice it just depends if you need the ability to customize.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] greyhulk:
I'm actually really torn. I had the M8 originally and liked it, but wanted a better camera. I bought the GS5 and I LOVE the screen, the feel in hand, and the camera, but the lag is killing me. I froze everything I could and installed Nova, but app launches take much longer than they should on this hardware. Comparing side-by-side with my M8, it's no contest at all. Even launching Gmail and Hangouts is significantly slower on the GS5 than it is on the M8, which shouldn't be and don't even get me started on the camera and gallery launch times.

That being said, I like the feel of this device so much better in the hand and the screen is so much more pleasing to the eye for me that it's really a question of hardware vs snappiness. I wish I could have both, but we all know that no device is perfect. I have about a week left to decide, but I'm leaning toward returning.

These are my impressions and I'm not bashing the phone, so no need to troll.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] hovax615@hotmail.com:
While everyone is getting the gs5 or m8 I'm going to be waiting for this http://www.android.gs/samsung-reportedly-planning-qhd-galaxy-s5-prime-to-compete-against-lg-g3/

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] PunchLick:
Very good posts, thanks for all of the replies.

This morning I did return the S5. For AT&T it seems to be 14 days and $35 restocking fee.

I traded in for the M8 and I gotta say its beautiful.

Best part is?

I already unlocked bootloader, rooted, and S-Off!

[General Questions and Answers] incredible3269:
So with the help of XDA I managed to unlock my Verizon HTC ReZound. I want to move to AIO. Two questions:

1. Has anyone moved a ReZound from Verizon to anything else?

2. Do I need to be rooted or just unlocked to switch carriers?

Thanks everyone!
[General Questions and Answers] RhodiuManta:
I have no expierence with your phone but in general you shouldn't have to root to switch carriers.
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] emmfan:
Has anyone else experienced this. It just started happening this past weekend. Before, the EVDO icon in the top bar would be greyed out (since the ROM update) when the connection was not active. But since last Friday it just stays 'white'. At first I was worried that the connection was stuck on active but there was not noticeable affect on my battery life. I'm not sure if there was a change in the Verizon network that has affected the indicator. I actually, replaced my phone this morning (for another reason), and noticed that the indicator is still 'white'.
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] Lvballer06:
there was a program I installed once that caused this probelm, but I cant remember the name of it for the life of me.

~mike
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] emmfan:
The thing is that even with my new phone and the new ROM, the arrows would not grey out. Anyways, doesn't seem to affect the battery life, but it does sometimes disconnect, whereas before, the direct-push would keep the connection open (but 'greyed-out').
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] emmfan:
The real problem now is that my direct-push no longer works. I've done a copule of hard resets and actually the arrows are now greyed out. But now the EVDO does not stay connected and my exchange e-mail is no longer pushed immediately to my phone. I've called Verizon and they got rid of their wireless data technical support, so now I can't get anyone to help me and all they do is push me to UTStarcom or Audiovox and they're not much help either. Any suggestions or help appreciated?
[XV6700, PPC-6700 General] madjokeer:
i had the same problem.. its because of the rom upgrade.. i used the ppckitchen and the arrows never gray out, when i used DCD's kitchen, it always grayed out.. i just believe its the rom itself... some people say its the phone skin but that is not true.. i tested that myself.

i have the dual sim version. both 2g. NO WI-FI AT ALL.

I usually get 3- 4 hours of screen on time. then im under 14% i just use whatsapp, a little gaming,opera mini browser. with this usage i get total 14-18 hours of battery. is this normal? my previous phone was nokua 5230 with inane battery life.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItzzAce:
not sure..

My battery life is better i think but cant say if yours is normal ... Screenshot of battery stats would be helpful

I charged in the middle upto 80. Screen on time at that time was 3.5 hours
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ItzzAce:
Hmm..your battery life doesnt seem Bad to me, but I cant tell you if its actually a normal or a Bad battery life as i have the single sim Version with tweaky one Rom and faux kernel... Sorry, that i cant tell you more, but i saw some battery threads here at xda already, maybe you should ask there. Good Luck.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madman:
1. From screenshot it says 3G.. You sure you are on 2G all the time or this was just rare case?

2.From graph it seems like you charged phone in between from pretty low to quite respectable 70 - 80%.

3. I get this kind of battery on medium usage with single charge. So if you charged in between then your battery seems poor.

4. Do check background services running and disable what you can.. From usage you specified, you should not require many running things. Use greenify to automate this things.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BaghiXDA:
He says he uses WhatsApp as well? Does it work on 2G connection too?. Thought I'd point out.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbs205:
i didn't charge in between. i was just not able to fully charge my phone as i was in a hurry. before that i got my specified usage. and 3g is a rare case. i get very weak signal. so i use 2g network all the time
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madman:
Well yes. It works on any kind of connection.

---------- Post added at 11:25 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:25 AM ----------

If that is the case then you are definitely having less battery life buddy..

What else is running in background?
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sbs205:
i had acdisplay but i dont use it now because i think it's eating up my battery. i have avast free, messenger, WhatsApp, clean master, dashclock widget and battery extenson . camera 360 is a bit nuisance. i close it but it starts again. also u should know that my phone was fully discharged two times when it was new

due to my carelessness. but i immediately charged it.

edit: also chrome on 2g takes up 1 or 2% every 3 or 4 minutes. it takes 3 or more hours to completely charge it with Motorola charger. I'm on GEL. got it from android police.
