HELP please! with my SGS5-sm-g906s (Telecom Korea)

Hi, I've been searching online for an answer to the issue I'm having with my S5-prime.

I live in Panama, that's The Republic of Panama, not Panama Beach FL... I purchased the S5 prime from ebay, not for the LTE-advance feature, but for the better processor, internal memory and resolution as compared with the Samsung galaxy S5 (sm-g900).

Now to my issue, when I'm the city the phone works just fine, I'm able to place and receive calls, and use my carriers (Cable & Wireless Panama) data plan (3G and 3,5G), but when I go into the country, rural areas, where there is no 3G coverage, only 2G, the phone simply doesn't work, I am not able to place nor receive calls, much less surf the web with my data plan,

I own a S3 I-9300 and when I am in the rural areas I am able to place calls, go on google, use whats app, I am not able to do this with my new S5prime

I know the phone (the S5 prime) has 2g capability, but when I go to settings, to the network selection screen, I cant choose GSM networks, to do so I need to enter the Service mode via *#0011# on my phones dial pad, yet I am still not able to receive signal in rural areas, areas with 2G

I attached the screenshots for the Network selection screen

Can anyone help me with this issue??
[Galaxy S 5 General] Israeli-Sparrow:
Do you receive any network when you search for one? (Through the network selection menu)

Claro and digicel will be the only providers to work since the phone doesn't have the 850 band on gsm which is apparently popular among the service providers in your country

[Galaxy S 5 General] Israeli-Sparrow:
I think that your problem stems from the fact that you live in Panama. .. service providers there decided to utilize the 850 band on gsm which is absent from our phone

Only Claro and digicel will work
[Galaxy S 5 General] copernicus507:
Thanks so much for your prompt reply

I'll get myself a SIM card for Digicel since Claro has poor coverage in rural areas, I'll be heading back into the rural areas of the country on Friday Oct31, I'll get back with you guys to let you know if changing service provider worked

Thanks again for your input

Hi chaps.

So I took the plunge and ordered one of an ebay store and it arrived today. Got to say I am very pleased with it and it came much quicker than I expected. Seems to work fine with The Peoples Operator here in the UK (uses EE network, phone thinks it is using T-Mobile )

Just one initial question. Can I just use a normal uk phone micro usb charger ( like the one for my old htc one m7 for example)? Just concerned in case I need to buy a special adaptor for the included charger. I presume not as I would have thought they would be designed to charge from any micro usb charger?

---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------

Oh also, I only ever seem to get 3g and no H+ for mobile data. Is that normal?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Annunneo:
I've been looking at them on eBay too but in the description it says something about charging it using the correct voltage. Could you share some light on that for me please.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Battlehero:
It doesn't really matter however you won't be able to take advantage of the quick charge technology. My phone came with an adapter so I used that along with the charger that came with the phone.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Annunneo:
Some of them had warranties but hey said it would only be valued if the phone was charged using the correct voltage.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Jono8:
Interesting. I would quite like to take advantage of the fast charging. What adaptor did you get? I didn't get any sort of adaptor in mine ( just got it boxed as it would have been if you bought it in korea)

Also, presumably it just needs a socket adaptor and no voltage conversion as the plug in the box says AC 100-240v and the uk is 230/240v so should be fine right?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Battlehero:
Its a standard adapter, it's nothing 'official'. My phone came in its original packaging and outside it was a basic adapter.

It's just a matter of notification icon, in fact your phone works on HSDPA.

On charger: any standard micro usb works, no worries here.

Recently I got myself a Sammy S-View cover and a wireless charging pad - it's truly awesome. You just lay your phone on this pad without connecting the USB port. Charging speed is very good in my opinion.

You also save the trouble to open this water resistant plug every time.

GSM data connection

Hi all !

Sorry if i missed that, is there any info how i can enable GSM data on G906S ?

In case i have root, probably by editing some file(s) ?

In mobile data i have only LTE Preferred and 3G Only selections, while i want to have also GPRS/EDGE orso.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 5 General] ariefabuzaky:
Dial *#0011# and choose gsm all .. see if ur carrier match with gsm band s5 prime
[Galaxy S 5 General] mwice:
Thanks for reply. I tested that, but makes no difference in mobile data carrier selection, still LTE and 3G only.

GSM voice is ok, and i beleive GSM bands are ok for my operator. 3G data also working good.

I seen at some other place that there is custom rom with comments "modded to allow only GSM, only WCDMA, LTE/WCDMA/GSM, WCDMA/GSM",

so i wonder what exactly must be changed on stock.

Asked there as well, no answer yet.
[Galaxy S 5 General] ariefabuzaky:
Try to change costumer.xml to costumer.xml.bak reboot and check in network selection. With that method i can choose gsm,wcdma/gsm or lte/wcdma/gsm.

Thanks. I'm returning my Moto X (2014) as it's AMOLED display has bad tinting. I was going to exchange, but for the same price I can pickup one of these.

Swore never to go back to Samsung after my S4, was unhappy about Knox, but I really want an AMOLED display (a good one) and the Nexus 6 is way too big.

Looks like the custom ROM scene is going to be pretty dire for this model, at least until the 805 becomes more mainstream I guess.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Yeah the hardware on G906K/G906S is terrific but the downside is obviously lack of custom ROMs and in addition you should check if the model you want to buy supports the LTE frequencies by your carrier. Three should be fine but on EE you'll be left without lte.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Virgin doesn't support LTE yet. I'll be using 3G.

Nothing on that front yet but I'll be very much surprised if a 3 months old model doesn't get lollipop and android 6/7/8 for that matter; )

True :) Just might come later than the international version.

Now to go with white or black... Not sure what the gold trim will complement more?!

Can I also check can we root okay? (I know OP says so, but I'm just checking for newer FW if there is any) What's the story with the bootloader as well? I haven't been to a Samsung phone in a while, but I do know a bit about knox.

Lastly couldn't the Note's firmware technically be ported to this phone? Just curious.

G906s droping reception every 10min

Hi guys,

I got the G906s and love the phone. There is how ever 1 problem which is annoying and wondering how to fix this.

My phone keeps dropping reception to nothing every 10min then reconnects to G and then 3g etc. This is annoying since i miss calls and draining the battery quickly (since its always connecting). I am in a area right in the hart of Sydney (Australia) CBD so should have full reception all the time. Any ideas whats going on and how to fix this?

I have attached some pics below to when it drops to 0.

I have done the *#0011# and selected Automatic also tried LTE b5 and the same issue.

I'm experiencing similar problem with my G906K, it started just a couple of weeks ago.

My phone doesn't reconnect on its own, I need to switch off/on the flight mode.

I have a feeling it started since September stock ROM update.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Yeah I'm going to go with t-dimension. I'll ask for a G906S as I think it has less bloat? Or is it the K that does?

Out of interest are the OTA updates handled by the Korean networks or Samsung? Anyone know?

Lastly I nearly considered an LG G3 CAT6, but the S5 amoled display will be much nicer :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
I think the only valid comparison on amount of bloatware you'll get from someone who'd own both phones and can truly analyse.

On my K model the bloatware was manageable, not more really than what you get from an average cell company, say, in Europe.

With root you obviously can get rid of anything you don't like.

I might be mistaken but I reckon the updates are handled by the providers as the ROM clearly comes branded and the updates come out at different times for different models.

Seems like after rooting you can't update via OTA, I ended up using Kies for that or download new stock ROM at sammobile.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Thanks! I just hope the carriers are quick then. If Samsung drop Lollipop in December it would suck if we need to wait till Jan/Feb.

Just purchased a white model from t-dimension. Sending back my Moto X to Motorola. I usually go with black phones, but the white/gold trim combo and less noticeable dimples seem nice.

edit: Going to pickup one of these as well - http://shop.tylt.com/pc_product_detail.asp?key=24E55C5BD7C54601A3619651DB3D6BBE
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
i think that's a good idea. I did have both the k and the s variants, and while i didn't actually count the amount of bloatware from both, the s felt better in everything i have done with them. i totally recommend the s over the k. also, the k came with some oolah insignia on the back cover and restart menu, while the s had the normal lte-a x3 on both, which also looks a lot better. yeah, i agree with botwa2000, the carriers decide about the ota's as different variants get them at different times. and trust me, you made the right decision. i also bought a g3 first, and hated it. i didn't like the rounded back, as i use my phone sitting on a flat surface alot when i'm at my computer, and didn't like the buttons on the rear. and the screen was absolutely dull and dim compared to this phone. this is the best screen in the industry at 577ppi. you made the right choice. finally, the note four coming out will give us tons of ported software, and a lot more dev's will be making roms for this chipset, graphics and super amoled qhd screen. so good things are coming. i hope this helps.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Yup I'm excited to get it and it's definitely futureproof for at least a year. The 810 will start hitting early next year, but for now we're still seeing releases with the 805 (Note 4, Droid Turbo/Moto Maxx, Nexus 6). The Nexus 6 using this setup should help with app development.

The only thing disappointing me is the weak external speaker, placed on the back as well :/ Coming from the Moto X this will be noticeable. I also tend to prefer onscreen buttons, but I'm simply not getting the 805 and the quadhd AMOLED screen unless I sacrifice onscreen. The Nexus 6 is far too big, and the Moto Maxx has capacitive.

Besides that though I can't wait for the device. The Moto X 2014 was using older generation AMOLED and I can't wait to see the newer iterations. I hope Samsung copy Knock Knock/D2TW in Android L, or at least roll with ambient display.

Lastly hope I get away with customs charges, but I'm pretty confident I'll get hit with something coming into the UK as t-dimension won't mark down in value.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Is the GS5 really as cream of a white as this pic suggests? :/

Might change over to black if so.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
don't worry about the speaker, it is plenty loud enough, even on the rear, if you use the right apps. install poweramp as your player, and if that isn't enough, use viper4android to setup everything to do with sound. my speaker sounds great with these, and is extremely loud.

i am of the exact opposite opinion when it comes to onscreen buttons. i hate them! they take up screen space for no good reason imo, when the soft buttons on the galaxy not getting in the way of anything. but i guess it's whatever you got use to in the beginning. finally, once you get use to the fingerprint scanner, you will forget all about knock knock. IF, you set your fingerprint scanner up correctly, meaning you scan the semi-sides of your fingers, scan them sideways and straight, it works perfectly, and is much faster and easier than a knock knock code. it is also a hell of a lot more secure. no one can watch your fingerprints and see how to get in your phone. so chin up, all good things with this phone. hope you enjoy it!

[Galaxy S 5 General] Jono8:
Hi guys,

One other "issue" I seem to be having ( although it might not be an issue) is that I have noticed that during a call, at some point, I will lose my data connection and the phone will revert to "G" mode and gsm band 1800 with only 1 - 3 bars. I live in an area of great 3g reception ( uses band 2100). Once the data drops out, the phone will stay connected to 2g and therefore I cant access mobile data whilst on the call. When I then finish the call, the phone will revert back to full bars on 3g as normal!

I don't really understand what is happening. Sometimes I have made calls and been able to use mobile data at the same time no problem. I suspect that during a long call, the phone may perhaps lose the 3g reception and revert to 2g (hence the data loss) and then not be able to revert back to 3g until after the end of the call.

Does this sound normal? Is it normal for a mobile not to be able to switch back to 3g after having to revert to 2g during a call?

Any insight from someone who knows more about this than I do would be greatly received!

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] dilwaala:
I'm experiencing the same issue on my G906K. Only difference is mine drops from LTE to 3G..when the call is done, it goes back to LTE after about 30 seconds or so.
