Changed to the black version. Will be easier on the eyes watching stuff at night.

T-dimension support were great, happy to send me the black version instead of white. Anyone else who ordered there did you use free shipping? They said they'd ship mine using Toll. Wonder if I'll need to wait a bit longer for delivery than some of you :confused:
[Galaxy S 5 General] nutttr:
Did you swap the boot.img in the firmware for the 906s one rather than using the note4 one? That should be the main change needed... There may be a heap of other hacks required after that but it should boot....
[Galaxy S 5 General] ariefabuzaky:
Nah you can try itself mate. Give our ur report,if its work, many thanks come to you
[Galaxy S 5 General] dargirisd:
I tried that but unfortunately even if the default text messaging has the delivery report option, and I activate this option, I dont receive any delivery reports.

Has anyone else tried that?

(P.S. My carrier supports delivery reports and the other phones are working properly with delivery reports).
[Galaxy S 5 General] Battlehero:
I installed the Note 4 ROM then restored the boot partition from my normal G906s ROM, it didn't make a difference.
[Galaxy S 5 General] JAMESVMPR:
I used port tool from cygwin to port note 4 firmware to SM-G906S, I'll upload next weekend
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
It works? Great news :highfive:

Also Nexus 6 starting at £499 in the UK! No thanks. Paid £343 for this beauty instead :good:
[Galaxy S 5 General] ariefabuzaky:
Its port stable ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] metzo32:
Had the same too, any hints ? Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Did you find a solution to the issue?

Mine is getting worse.

I was in Vodafone shop today, they changed the sim card but it doesn't appear to have helped.

I Googled a bit, seems like a wide spread galaxy s5 problem to which nobody can offer a solution yet:(
[Galaxy S 5 General] mat33n:
No i haven't I might need to send it back for warranty and see how that goes.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Folks if anyone has got a service manual (tech hardware/software document) for either K or S or L models please can you share.

I presume the document will only be available in Korean language which unfortunately I don't speak.

But if anyone can search in Korean websites and give us a link to the manual I can use Google translate to try and understand the key parts.

We are trying to unlock additional LTE bands on the phone and so need the schematics.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 5 General] louie875:
Hi all,

I know this has been asked before but I cannot see a definite answer. I have a g906s that is not rooted and is on the stock rom. Is there a way to enable HD voice calls?

Thanks.
[Galaxy S 5 General] avikzone:
- Thanks for the info - Just wanted to know how did you change the weather app sync from the Korean servers to your local ? :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy S 5 General] ariefabuzaky:
Instal weather and daemon app from s5 international
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Anyone who ordered from T-dimension how long did it take for your order to ship? Still on processing.

I did choose free shipping mind you, so I can't complain.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
I don't use the default weather app. I like Weather Channel or Yahoo Weather.

---------- Post added at 17:59 ---------- Previous post was at 17:48 ----------

Go to app manager, all apps. Find Phone default (dialer) app, clear cash.

After I did that I managed all day without losing the signal.

dictionary crashing

Hi all - I am on the latest miscom ROM for g906s and everything works great except the dictionary keep crashing. I have freezed and defrost it from Titanium but no luck. Any suggestion will be great. :D

Cheers Avik

Not sure, what is dictionary ? I want try to check it here.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
I've read this phone has the same camera as the original S5, then also that it includes a new Sony sensor seen in the Note 4 (but without OIS). Anyone know definitively?

Anyone know how to make Samsung keyboard default language not reset to English every time start using keyboard, the only workaround is remove English from language input option, but it's not solution for me that using 2 languages, with mother language is not English.

Also is possible to remove globe button in Samsung keyboard with more than 1 input language selected ? Mine rooted so there are should be more possibility to alter it right?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 5 General] mwice:
Also very interested in this.

Here keyboard language always resetting to Russian, so i guess it reset to current device language, maybe.

Really annoying to change language every time keyboard hides in the same app where i need english ie.

[Galaxy S 5 General] metzo32:
Thanks for your efforts Bro, But it's really not clear enough to install a custom Rom on such a device!

If it just to be 4.4.4 it will come soon ..what Note 4 firmware will add to G906s?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Timaboy1:
I can not install Note 4 firmware SM-N910F ported to Galaxy S5 SM-G906S, through a custom recovery to be installed?
[Galaxy S 5 General] gdfajkldfkwfj:
So there is no way to root the latest stock firmware?

It looks like Chainfire has shifted his focus onto other projects.. the cf-autoroot hasn't been updated for a month
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Even CF unofficial still does the job
[Galaxy S 5 General] gdfajkldfkwfj:
What CF unofficial are you talking about?
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Oh I see. Before the official version was developed, an unofficial CM auto root was posted in the first post of this thread.

I still have it if you need it. However the latest official works also - I tested myself. .. Did you triy and have any issues?
[Galaxy S 5 General] gdfajkldfkwfj:
Is it safe to use it for mismatched firmware version (I have a 906L on latest stock firmware)? It worked for me on previous firmware but bricked my phone when I did a firmware upgrade to the latest stock.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
When did you upgrade? What stock version you have?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
My phone has finally shipped today :highfive:

Anyone think we'll ever see the bootloader unlocked on this variant? :confused::confused:
[Galaxy S 5 General] Battlehero:
Which variant?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
906S/K
[Galaxy S 5 General] gdfajkldfkwfj:
I used the "official cf-autoroot" on G906LLUC1ANJ2 and it worked. The problem I had was caused by bad G906LLUC1ANJ2 firmware (missing MD5, probably corrupted firmware)

issues so far:

not saving wifi networks...have to enter password again on every reboot, quite annoying
[Galaxy S 5 General] Battlehero:
The bootloader is not locked.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Is that the same for all Galaxy S5s? I take it Samsung just rely on Knox then. So next question I guess is wonder if we'll have a way to root without tripping Knox :p
[Galaxy S 5 General] metzo32:
Hope you can answer me, already did downloaded the Rom !!!

Anybody else try to install Note 4 Rom ? Thanks..

Cannot change to 2g/GSM

Hi guys...I just bought the G906S and I am using it in Europe with no issues. Just one very annoying.

I cannot change to GSM mode in networks. I only have two options: LTE prefered and 3G Only.

Do you have any idea how to solve this?

Thank you very much.

[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Not sure about a regular S5 as I don't have one. Pls post a screenshot.

In terms of G906S you should be able to restrict the network mode in the hidden menu under *#0011#
[Galaxy S 5 General] leoking3:
No other options. No 2g, nothing
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:

[Galaxy S 5 General] Kantana:
Thanks for that! This seems to indicate there is no hardware decoder for h265 in the S5 LTE-A. What happened with that, the S805 was supposed to be the first soc with h265 decoder built in. Definitely a deal breaker for me. I'll wait for the S810 or any other hw solution.

Galaxy S4 SM-G906S EE UK problem incoming calls

Hi everyone,

I got the Galaxy S5 SM-G906s from the 28mobile website a few days ago, but I'm having some problems...

For any reason, I can't hear at all any incoming calls (they can't hear me either), and I don't really now if the problem is coming from the phone, or it may be the EE network. Data Internet is ok, same for messages.

I'm not very expert about network coverage or bands...so I would really appreciate if someone could give me a hand.

Thanks in advance!

[Galaxy S 5 General] TheEnd187:
Ok so i bought the Sm-g906s with the premise of using it on tmobile. Unfortunately I didn't have a full understanding of what bands and frequencies were.at the time, I still dont fully understand them but is there any chance of getting 4g on this phone while on tmobile? I can get 3g atm but no 4g.
[Galaxy S 5 General] chungdae:
I'm not sure what frequencies T-Mobile is with their LTE. Did you put the settings into auto?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Deezy88:
tmobile uses 1700,this phone doesnt carry that,but it does have the att band

[Galaxy S 5 General] TheEnd187:
Looks like I should've done my homework more, I didn't know you needed both bands to get LTE. I guess I'll just live with 3g until the next flagship comes out.

hi I have a G906L and I'm getting 3G service I tried ServiceMode menu *#0011# and is shows blank no options. Also my phone is rooted and I have AT&T

---------- Post added at 10:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:05 PM ----------

how can I get LTE on AT&T I have G906L rooted tried that *#0011# but its blank no options to select
[Galaxy S 5 General] TheEnd187:
after entering *#0011# hit the bottom at the bottom above the home button(it should be some korean text). Once you do that it will take you to the frequency select screen.
[Galaxy S 5 General] chungdae:
The G906L does NOT have AT&T LTE bands. You have to get the G906S or the G906K.

G906S: http://www.samsung.com/sec/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/skt/SM-G906SSIESKO-spec

G906S has the B17 (700) LTE bands.

G906L: http://www.samsung.com/sec/consumer/mobile-phone/mobile-phone/lgt/SM-G906LSIELUO-spec

G906L does NOT have B17 (700) LTE bands.

You should exchange it for a S or K model.

---------- Post added at 10:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:20 PM ----------

[Galaxy S 5 General] mwice:
If you have root, you can delete /system/csc/customer.xml.

Or, you can delete system/app/MobileNetworks.apk (this not tested by me).
[Galaxy S 5 General] leoking3:
Yes, thank you! Unfotunately I read that the rooted FW has bugs. Which I dont wanna have.
[Galaxy S 5 General] mwice:
If you mean some FW with root inside - maybe, i didnt test any.

But there is no any problems with root at all, if you root your FW yourself using CF-AutoRoot ie.

Only KNOX counter is the problem.
[Galaxy S 5 General] leoking3:
Ok man, got it. Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Battlehero:
Deleting mobile networks.apk works.
[Galaxy S 5 General] leoking3:
It worked. Happy day! :)). So good to see the normal S5 menu.

If only I could add sms.delivery reports..
[Galaxy S 5 General] mwice:
I played a bit with /system/csc/feature.xml

I have enabled sms/mms delivery reports in messages settings, and delayed send in message edit menu.

[Galaxy S 5 General] leoking3:

[Galaxy S 5 General] dargirisd:
I have personally tried that.

You need root access to the phone, and root explorer to edit /system/csc/features.xml

The problem is that even if the delivery reports menu appears, and the user can tick the SMS Delivery Report active, in practice NO delivery report is requested by the phone.

It seems like the phone is not capable of doing that, not only in Software level.

Has anyone else tried that?
[Galaxy S 5 General] juming:
I think it's on firmware level, such modem, so even we ask delivery report, but in fact modem ignore it, also same problem with cannot display SIM Toolkit application, moreover my banking software cannot activated, this maybe due to modem support that not available.

Btw anyone can receive SMS class 0 a.k.a flash sms ? if it not possible then I think it's on modem firmware problem.

Hi guys, do you think if I delete one this files, my issue can resolved ? In fact, I have a problem with 2100 mhz band (3G), a moment it lost network and i can't calling, send message and web. In GSM band it work fine.

Delivery reports is not only miss, there are not input mode in texting message ( GSM ALPHABET and UNICODE), one character take more characters.

Thank you again, I don't remenber if I root my device and I install rom stock (new firmware) by kies. The device will be root or no ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] tookie015:
If you're unsure, you can go to Play Store and install root checker apps. There are several of them.

One example is this Root Checker
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
I think by default flashing a new stock rom via Kies kills root as well as custom recovery.

I always had to reflash those.

I normally check if I got the root by opening Titanium Backup, the king of all rooted phones:)

But you're right, one could always use the root checkers from Google Play.

Hey man, maybe I am confused a bit here, but are you saying that we can flash any G900F ROM on the G906S and it works with no issues? :) [MENTION=6021435]botwa2000[/MENTION]

Hmm, I guess you are saying that any of the 906 versions will work...
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
No, you can't flash any 906 version, has to be the one for your device.

Thought I'd chime in with my first impressions. Great phone. Not rooted it yet, might wait for lollipop and see if a way to do so without tripping knox comes around.

I like it much more than my MotoX, although physically the MotoX is nicer. The screen is better, but I do still have some yellow patches on white backgrounds. Luck of the AMOLED lottery it seems, and there's no way I'm sending it back to Hong Kong when everything else is perfect.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
You have to flash the ROM four your specific model.

Last month sammobile uploaded a corrupted rom but then fixed it.

If you wanna upgrade your stock and be 100% safe you should use Kies.

I like to keep a backup version of a rom just in case so I download from sammobile.

Does anybody have voicemail alerts working on this (G906s)? I don't get any and there are literally zero voicemail options that i can find on the phone. I have looked at guides for UK versions of the s5 and it looks like there should be a voicemail settings part under the settings of the phone app but there is not.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
They're two fundamental problems that I wasn't able to solve on this device. The rest is just doesn't bother me or could be fixed.

1 - the cellular network drops off occasionally and doesn't get restored on its own. I need to switch on/off flight mode. But this is a frequent s5 issue, not necessarily G906.

2 - there's no support for some of European LTE bands by this Korean device. I've not yet found a way to unlock more bands.

I still think that the gorgeous hardware compensates for the above shortcomings in my opinion.
[Galaxy S 5 General] leoking3:
Well , my network never drops. Actually it has better signal that my regular S5. No network issues so far.

What I couldnt solve are the delivery reports for sms. Very frustrating. And also no video call. Not much of use, but still annoying.
