I saw your message a little bit to late unfortunatly... I was stuck on recovery.. It's ok now (thanks to the dd cmd)
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddog511:
I know that there is this thread - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2713214 but they don't seem to answer the question based on an S3, so I'm curious for those of you that swtiched from the S3 to the S5, did you notice any better signal everywhere you use it?

the reason for my question is this: I'm looking to upgrade from the S3, but I want a phone that I'm going to get a better signal with. I like Samsung, but am up to considering other android phones if one is specifically better with signal than the S5.

So, again, coming from the S3 to the S5, did you notice any better signal for calls/text/data?

Thanks
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
No 32GB option, so I stuck with my S4. Hopefully the S5 prime has a 32GB version.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddog511:
I had also been considering the HTC One M8, but from what I've been reading, the radios in that device are worse than the samsung ones. I wonder if this is beginning to be a trend... Of course, there's also the draw of S-Off and root on that device. Ultimately, it comes down to this - my S3 had absolutely no signal where 3 of my buddies' iPhones had signal as did my brother's Moto X. It was very frustrating, so I want to make sure that my next phone has better signal.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trehouse:
I just got my S5 and I'm dropping calls where I never did with my S3. VZW thinks it could be a device issue and are waiting for my word to ship me a new replacement. I'll keep testing today and update this thread and also if I end up replacing it after receiving a new one.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jal3223:
I've noticed a great improvement in regards to signal on the gs5. It even seems to be a tad better than my Note 3 as far as keeping lte. I'm in a rural area too by the way.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddog511:
Thanks for the info. Definitely give an update if you can.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TCM55:
I noticed no difference in signal strength between my S3 and S5, both are great. Although the S5 does get access to the much faster AWS LTE.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Icculus760:
Can't speak to the S3 --> S5 changes, but I went from an S4 --> S5 and noticed HUGE signal improvements, including WiFi
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilhunter101:
I went to the S5 from a Note 2. The S5 seems to have slightly better signal and seems to hold onto lower signal longer before switching to CDMA. That's the best part; the S5 switches between radios much quicker than the Note 2 did. When I lost LTE on the Note 2, it would take over a minute usually to switch to CDMA and even longer when it felt like switching back to LTE. When the S5 switches, it's usually functional within two or so seconds. Love it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sz1980:
s3 to s5

I went from an S3 to an S5 and have noticed the signal is much better on the S5, but that is not always the case. I had the S3 since it came out and never had issues with 4G at work or other places when the signal was good. The S5 seems to have issues connecting with 4G at the same places I have used the S3 where I never had issues before (e.g. work and other frequented places). So far it only seems to affect text and data. When I do have issues, I am able to receive text messages, but not send text messages. Also, data does not work at all. I have to change the network on my S5 to CDMA to get it work. When I arrive to work, I have to change it to CDMA and when I leave work I change back to 4G. Using the automatic network mode setting does not help either since it stays on the 4G setting. I have had the same issues at other places, but I don't visit those places daily. I called Sprint and they couldn't anything for me.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddog511:
This is very helpful, thank you. I wonder though, if the Sprint radios are different from the Verizon ones as far as signal strength and quality... It would be interesting to find out whether the Verizon version has the same issues where 4g connected just fine with the S3, but has issues on the S5 as you had experienced.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeefJerky9:
I'm a Verizon user and have not experienced any of those issues that sz1980 has. I get reliable data and text in the places where my S3 did. I do also notice better reception in fringe/weak areas, such as at work where I get terrible reception. With the S3 I never could make a phone call, and text sending was hit or miss. With the S5 I can actually make a phone call, and text sending has been quite reliable.

Maybe your phone is simply defective sz1980. Have you tried exchanging it?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sz1980:
I have not because I don't think it's defective. If it were sporadic I would, but as soon as I am close to my desk at work, the issue starts. It appears I have signal, but as soon as I attempt a call, send a text, or use data the LTE symbol greys out. Again, it consistently happens at my desk where the S3 always worked.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BeefJerky9:
It sure sounds defective to me; besides, what's the harm in doing an exchange? At least this way you'd be able to rule out the hardware as the issue. That said, it sounds like you don't want to do that, so it seems you just want to complain and not actually get the problem fixed.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geronimo48:
My previous phone wasn't a Samsung, so I am not answering your question, but much of my work requires me to be in rural - even remote areas. My Verizon S5 is frequently the only phone in the room with a connection. I also used to have shaky connections at home (on Verizon). I now have a solid connection for both data and calls and have no dropped calls. I LOVE this phone!
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scallawag:
Does not answer your question but

I used to use iPhones so I don't go back with android to the S3 but recently have owned and used iPhone 5, LG G2, HTC One M8, Galaxy S5, Galaxy S5 developers edition and Moto Maxx Developers edition and hands down the Droid Maxx has the best reception. Note that all have been on Verizon so it may be different on different carriers (droid is Verizon only). Recently drove with my son from VA to CA. Son used the LG and I the Maxx. Maxx had better reception from coast to coast. Of course a lot of places neither one of us had any reception.

That said the S5 is good and I am enjoying my new Dev edition S5.

Is there a way to easily adjust the volume using the wheel? Or do we have to get the stylus out :?

Cheers
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ed.dark:
Just tried SPB pocket plus but it doesnt have a volume indicator, just a control which doesnt show what the volume is set to!

any clues? :oops:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] the_matho:
What is it that you want to do?

If you move the jogwheel during a call, you can change the voulme of the speaker...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ed.dark:
OK, But do you know how to adjust the volume when not in a call without tapping the screen? is there a way to do this please?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] goestoeleven:
probably clumsier than tapping the screen, but if you have both Spb Pocket Plus and MS VoiceCommand, you can issue commands for Volume Up, Volume Down, Volume Loop, and Mute.

You can also tapp on the Comm Manager button and toggle the between (preset volume), (vibrate), and (silent).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] ed.dark:
Is there a good screen tap recorder which works with the tytn?

I tried Vitobuttonmapper which does this but it messed up all my other button assignments! I just want to be able to assign the voicedialler press and hold function to bring up the volume bubble!

Anyone found a prog which will turn a screen tap into an .exe which will be assignable to a button?

Vijay?

Anyone??????
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] thescum:
with aebutton plus 2.4.3 beta (its now in 2.4.4 beta), if you remap the "ok" buttons after adding it, you can select it in such a way (under "\options\restore volume slider\" select "if today is active").

Now in the today screen, when you press the ok button, the volume slider will be activated. You can then use he left right up/down keys to select the volume of choice.

However, upon capturing the ok button, i have to map the ok button to close active apps when pressed twice. Pressing it once, regardless of the program in the foreground yields nothing.

To minimize, i have the use the red phone button.

hi

I want record my call's with this app ( Call-recorder pro )

but I have kernel wrong

pls help me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
When doing a system wipe in SafeStrap OR during a given ROM install, does it also wipe the kernel or is that on a separate partition and left alone? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Another words, say given ROM has a "No Kernel" install option but of course does the /system wipe. Would I retain my current NC5 stock kernel?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mcbeat257:
Reply

When you are doing a system wipe, the kernel gets reinstalled by the ROM or stock ROM that you have chosen to do. (so technically it will always be there)

Also, you will not have a kernel if there is a no kernel option. Yet you can run the system without a kernel anyways, but if you like that as a kernel, I would back it up.

I would double check my apps to see which ones have permissions to call without your input.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wooaarr:
Thank you, but I already did this, without any improvement. (Even after deleting every single app with permission to make calls, not including dialer & settings of course).

In LBE (I know it is outdated...), there is no event in the permission log for the calls.

I reseted the phone via Odin now anyway, but it seems just so strange to me.

[HTC One Max] Trooper Thorn:
Both Android Police and UberGizmo are reporting that the latest Sprint update for their One max, which brings wifi calling, will also be bringing Sense 6.

If so that's pretty amazing turnaround, though I don't see any updates on HTC's update page.

Is anybody on Sprint seeing an OTA with Sense 6?
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
Will be very eager if any Sprint users can check on this.
[HTC One Max] eXplicit815:
That's the news. Apparently LlabTooFeR posted a screenshot of the update on Twitter a few minutes ago:
[HTC One Max] Trooper Thorn:
That's great, crazy fast. With Verizon's track record I'm sure it won't be that fast for the rest of us, but I guess one can hope.
[HTC One Max] eXplicit815:
I'm sure they'll have it by the end of summer, haha.

But, I'm sure the developers can muster up a pretty stable ROM to hold everyone else over. I have the One, not the Max on Sprint. I'm thinking if they got the update today, I won't be very far behind. I read that tweet and now I'm pasted to XDA, haha.
[HTC One Max] Neo:
Just a few file changes and necessary apks and bam, done.
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:

I've posted in other sections here how to "DD" the boot.img to the SD and then upload it, for the system just "adb pull /system/" and then zip it up and upload it here for us would be very very much appreciated!!! Flyhalf wants to get it ready for Verizon users..... Thanks bro
[HTC One Max] a2r3f:
WTF? I have the International Unlocked version, shouldn't I have received the update before carrier subsidised phones?
[HTC One Max] Murrda:
Not necessarily, remember Sprint was going to release the Android 4.4.3 update to their Nexus 5 a few weeks ago but pulled it due to some issues.. That means the Sprint Nexus 5 would have had it before the GSM Unlocked Google Nexus 5.. lol.... Crazy how things have been transpiring hehe
[HTC One Max] a2r3f:
Sorry about that, I didn't mean to sound butt-hurt about it. I was just under the impression that the unlocked international versions were always the first to receive updates according to their diagram that they released a month or 2 ago.
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:
Okay finally after updating I flashed the hotspot fix and installed supersu through twrp and now when i unlock my phone I get "this app is not compatable with your phone" I can't do anything other than go through my notifications... It says unauthorized device above the message... This is really odd...
[HTC One Max] santod040:
Not to sound like I don't care about your issue, but could you make a backup and upload it despite it being wonky?

I would try a factory reset first(wipe data).

If not, ok. But Flyhalf and I would be most grateful.

Thanks! Or anyone who could do so would be awesome! :good::fingers-crossed::fingers-crossed::good:
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:
I would but my upload speeds are really bad. Plus I need to get my phone working asap.

EDIT: It was fine till i flashed the hotspot fix and it wanted me to root. Now I have wiped all but system and it still goes right to unauthorized device this app is not compatabile with your device... Starting to panic a bit... Really don't feel like Ruuing again tonight... Might have to. So a warning this may not be rootable right now... Or I'm a retard...
[HTC One Max] santod040:
Flash stock recovery and do a factory reset.

That should resolve any issues...

Just a suggestion, wish I had this phone.

Would have a rooted rom up by now. ;)

I personally just want the dump for dna, m7, t6, and m8 ports...
[HTC One Max] Flyhalf205:
Your problem is. When you flashed the hotspot fix. It changed a couple of values on the bottom of /system/customize/ACC/default.xml to Sense 5.5. Well they need to be 6.0 because that is what your on. That fix is not compatible. So it's giving you that problem.

So you can pull that file using adb in recovery and pushing it back after you made the adjustments.
[HTC One Max] rowihel2012:
will the internatonal one max have this update soon or not?
[HTC One Max] shizzdaman:
any word on a stock rooted rom yet???????

Any word on anyone capable of pulling the update after it's applied, so that someone can make one? :confused::fingers-crossed:

Will do modified hboots later as well.

Of course, I'll be making a stock rooted deodex rom, when I get there, these things take time ya know ?
[HTC One Max] cstrife999:
Yea my phone is my home internet connection and I'm about a mile out of lte. I'm going to ruu back and download the update clean. Taking a walk to get some lte. Sorry I couldn't upload. Huge drama at home after a Vegas trip and I don't answer texts or calls I'm going to lose my manhood... Thanks for helping man.

Edit: so for now does that mean no hotspot. Or is there already something else out.
