Anyone know how to unroot fully without losing any data or having to flash. I want it so I can take my phone to the repair centre. Under settings device status should say official.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
It should be possible to unroot but not sure you're covered in terms of warranty as you broke KNOX already by rooting the device.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
that's the fact jack!!!

i went back to miscom's rom, and am much, much happier with it. i'm fine with waiting on lollipop. in fact, i really didn't like lollipop that much.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
I'm really tempted to do the same. Not impressed from lollipop at all - massive battery drain and XPosed not working:(

Or might try space X
[Galaxy S 5 General] metzo32:
Just less of 3 hours with Lollipop and I'm DONE..maybe next release ..:(

Space X still beta..a lots of FC and crashing setting etc....
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
yeah, i made a decision that until space x and lollipop get their acts together, that i'm not interested in going through all that frustration. miscom's rom works very well, and i don't have any trouble with it. and the battery life is crazy good, especially after dealing with first cm 12, and then sammie's stock version. still waiting and watching to see what happens next.

CM12 is your rescue

Bros why worry?

CM12 got you covered

lollipop 5.0.2, unlike sammy's official 5.0.1

Also, as of 03-22 nightly, the ROM rebased kernel and vendor blobs to samsung official 5.0 release, making it that much stabler and battery friendly

No xposed with the official sammy's rom? Screw that, we got xposed on the CM12 so you can download all your favorite modules

Hi to everybody! :)

I'm new here, and would like to know a couple of things as I'm thinking about getting a S5 LTE device as my hopes forward the new S6 were broken.

I ask you a little of help as you people are my only resource in understanding what to buy. Thank you.

I'm interested in this 3GB ram S5 as it has all the features that I need: good CPU, lot of ram, at least 32GB internal memory, 4G support, removable battery, sd-card slot, water resistant, finger print sensor on home button, plus amazing screen resolution as I see on the Wiki (same as S6):

Wiki Samsung Galaxy S series - comparison list

http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_S_series#Comparison

Samsung SM-G906.. Galaxy S5 LTE-A - Samsung Lentis series (3 models: L/S/K)

http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=pdamaster&posted=1&model=Samsung Lentis&num_rows_max=0

I'd like to understand the main differences between the L, S and K models, and if I can use this LTE device in "Italy" with H3G company ( "3" ) and in which other countries, according to the connection signal.

Other thing, are there amazing roms for this device or is it used to use base Android Samsung stock roms (now available Lollipop 5.1 as I see) and root the device and maybe deodexe the rom?

Last thing....where can I buy it??

Thank you so much and I hope to join the family.

Cheers. ;)

Have someone activated the 3G band 10 (900Mhz) on G906??

Please help!

Yeah works fine.

[Galaxy S 5 General] aayush.garg:
Don't understand why a lot of people are complaining about poor performance/battery life with this Lollipop version. For me I have had no issues at all and the battery life was almost doubled once I realised that my location service was always on high accuracy. Once I changed it to power saving this phone easily lasts for a whole day (~12hrs) and it is blazing fast across Lollipop even with TW. Remember guys this does carry the Snapdragon 805 and 3GB RAM which is a lot of power!

In my opinion I prefer the Samsung extras (S-Health, Camera App, Multi Window) etc. hence why I choose this over CM12 (which I was using before official Lollipop). The only drawback is we can't get xposed yet....
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
I kinda need location services and I'm not really happy with the battery life... My phone is on a charging pad half a day during the day - or else it's dead by 6pm.

Of course wireless charging helps at least I don't have the hassle of plug/unplug every time.

I agree with you on Sammy extras but just feel sad we've been abandoned by [MENTION=639045]miscom[/MENTION] :(
[Galaxy S 5 General] sunrainsky:
Well, I use a quick toggle from gravitybox to toggle my location services between power saving and high accuracy. Some apps can get by with power saving while others like driving apps need high accuracy. With jelly bean, GPS is always set to power saving (using network to determine position) when GPS toggle is off. In Kit kat, turning off GPS means it is totally off. More troublesome without the quick toggle from gravitybox

You have told me in another thread that editing LTE bands in these G906 phones is not possible.

I have also write you in your thread where you talk about these facts.

Can you give me some extra infos please about editing bands in this devices?

My LTE are ok here in Italy.

The only thing that I'd like to activate in the 906L that I've found for buying is the 3G band 900Mhz that my Italian provider (Three "3" ) have started to use last year for increasing efficiency in indoor connections.

This provider uses also the 2100Mhz band that work ok in my city, but poor for indoor connection. Actually I'm using this while I'm replying now with my actual Samsung S3.

See here the world band localization:

http://www.worldtimezone.com/gsm.html

(Note: band 900Mhz it's not shown in the 3G band of provider Three "3" for Italy. I've sent them an email for correction for adding it.)

Android system and Android os both using the most battery something must be wrong here.

I got about the same battery life with Lollipop which is crappy too. For some reasons, the phone stays awake and can't go into deep sleep despite my efforts if I want to maintain a data connection to receive messages.

I have greenified everything there is to Greenify and using Juice Defender to have every single app configured to establish a profile.

Still, Android system and Google Play Services (sync is deactivated...) really need some juice to get going.

The main advantage with Lollipop is that the phone is blazing fast which wasn't the case with Kitkat.

[Galaxy S 5 General] miscom:
I maybe wrong but I don't think that's a band issue. The G906S already has the 2100 band. This might be either an APN change needed or a missing APK that would add that functionality.

Was the S4 for the Indian market? If so, that would explain why you had that feature. For instance, I bought a TMobile Note 3 (N900T) and as soon as I flashed an international ROM based on the N9005 I lost WiFi Calling. In order to get that feature back I had to make some system changes and add some APKs.

What IMEI does your carrier have for your phone? The one for the S5? If so, can you call them and give them the IMEI for the S4 or from any other phone supported by your carrier?

With AT&T, I gave them the IMEI of my Note 3, otherwise I would not get LTE on my S5.
[Galaxy S 5 General] xNiNELiVES:
I just got my G906K. I wanted the G906S from 28 mobile but they sent me this version instead. It's identical except for two things: the G906K has a Olleh logo on the back (instead of saying (instead of saying LTE-A), an Olleh boot animation (it says S5 LTE-A), and there is some additional Olleh bloatware on the device.

I can confirm that the G906K does work in the US (it should have the same bands) on LTE.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Lazee Wolf:
This is a very interesting thread. I live in the UK and I'm looking to buy a G906k/s to use on the o2 network (800 band 20, i think). Does anyone know if the G906k/s will work on o2 4G in the UK?

I've read about how to unlock the 4G bands, would that make a difference?

Also if I root the phone will wanam Xposed framework work with it?
[Galaxy S 5 General] PIRATA!:
No, I bought it but it will be some time before I get it. Hopefully in a couple of weeks. They'll ship it after Easter, so...

About the other things, I'm actually watching all the accessories that I world like to get, like a wireless charging card to place under stock cover as I'd like to use bumpers on my phone as I actually let all my phones fall on the ground at least once a week :) I say this (to use the wireless card) because I've seen on YouTube that the official Samsung wireless back cover for S5 is bigger that the stock, and for that one the bumpers don't fit well.

As I was watching for these accessories I'd found this Qualcomm fast charger and I obviously want to know more...but on the Qualcomm website I can't see any reference to the S5 with 805, but only to the Note. Is it the same right? Any Qualcomm 800 series, right?

About the fast charge accessory...do you have it?

And about the wireless charging? Do you have it?

In case...what do you use? A wireless card or a stock back cover with wireless charging capability?

I was particular interested in the SlimPWRCard for S5 that's 0.5mm thin. Do you know it?

Tnx.

Never posted before... I've tried calibrating my battery , deleting every possible app and tried different battery's but I am getting battery drain @1-3 % per hour when the g906k is completely turned off on all Cm builds.. Anyone know why ?Also wiped everything for clean install as well as flashing on top of the official build (Lollipop) I have noticed that when the battery % is lower the drain is faster ? It could go 99 -90% over night @ 8hours or 45 -13% @ 8hours. It does not do this on Sammy roms and hope I have stated all that is needed and someone can help although not positive as Ive been searching far and wide for two weeks with no luck although some people have had similar problems but the fix was to factory reset and or flash official rom which I dont want to do as I have been waiting ages for Cm.

I know I could take my battery out at night but my phone is in a Spigen tough Armor case and its in three parts so its not much fun !! Although Cm is !!!

Hi to everyone!

Im new here and I have a brand new 906K that its still in the box!

I have only turned it on and update it an last Android 4.4.2.

I would like to understand about something related to its correct use.

I have read that the Private mode does not work if not Deodexed.

I am new to the S5 world, and personally not even know what KNOX is precisely as I have read so much stuff that all confused me.

Why is Private not working if not Deodexed?

Other question, if flashing the custom rom, is it able to fix this KNOX to 0x0, as I have understood that it should be like that?

Last question. Will I be able to flash a stock firmware if I need to send it back for repair or sell it or what, with restoring all the securities back so that it does not show up that a custom firmware has been flashed??

Thank you all.
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Hi,

Welcome to the club!

A friendly suggestion to search answers to generic questions like Knox or implications of custom ROMs in other dedicated forums and you'll find precise and thorough answers there. All S5 information will apply to the Prime device as well (except hardware specs)

In a nutshell:

Once you flash anything custom (ROM or recovery) you'll break Knox and never be able to reset it back to 0x0 - it's a one way trip. You can still sell the device but not submit to repairs via warranty cover.

Current latest ROM for the device is Lollipop 501, any information on [MENTION=639045]miscom[/MENTION]'s ROM is outdated.

If you want to go custom you should flash CM12 or CM12.1.
