first, if t-dimension is out of the 906s, they will have more soon. so i would wait. it should only be a few days time. second, 28mobile is the biggest pain in the ass site i have ever dealt with. i would not recommend them at all. i had problem after problem, after problem, after problem dealing with them. next, go to the comments on several of the ebay sellers. people are complaining about getting fake phones, and having trouble getting their money back. and phones that didn't work. amazon is a lot safer than ebay. check amazon to see who will sell you the 906s, if you don't want to wait on t-dimension. while it's true that the 906k works with 900, and the 906s works with 850, there are guys on this thread who have said that their 906k is working in the US, and the US doesn't have the 900 band. so it might work for you, but to be safe, i stuck with getting the 906s. hope this helps you.
[Galaxy S 5 General] ACTION GAMER:
how much you bought your phone on t-dimension? what about tax you well pay or inc vat ? if you pay yourself for tax the t-dimension they can declare price i mean they write 100 usd and as gift ?

because there is one seller on ebay his top seller recommended by many people they in korea i spoke to them about tax they told me we can put price 90usd and we write its gift .

and samsung today have event see what they got ,

So, anyone worked out how to get light flow working? I'm disappointed that it doesn't!

[edit - Got it working! You need to leave the LED notification settings on in the settings menu... very odd]
[Galaxy S 5 General] ACTION GAMER:
actually i spoke t-dimension on the phone they said we have g906S and the price actually very good its €502

but product from this company are original ? or the company are legit ? you said you ordered your phone from them so how the phone they declared lower on package for you ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] wst9344:
G906K and G906S have same gsm and wcmda band, you said the 906K works with 900 just LTE band 8(900), not WCDMA 900. They both work on 3G WCDMA 850.

G906K: 2G: GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM1900

3G: WCDMA 850, WCDMA 1900, WCDMA 2100

4G LTE: B1 B3 B7 B8(900) B17

G906S: 2G: GSM 900, GSM 1800, GSM1900

3G: WCDMA 850, WCDMA 1900, WCDMA 2100

4G LTE: B1 B3 B5(850) B7 B17

Hello I have a G906K, I live in Colombia, but I can't connect to LTE networks. What about you?
[Galaxy S 5 General] LuthorKid:
Ok, does the screen info app says the screen density class on your phone "unknown" too?
[Galaxy S 5 General] ACTION GAMER:
hey dude i ordered black version SM-G906S from t-dimension i hope they dont disappoint me i watched samsung unpacking today galaxy note 4 its same g906s thats why i decide buy g906s over note 4

by the way that phones on t-dimension is unlocked right ?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Israeli-Sparrow:
The phones on t-dimension are not locked.

I really don't know why people say the us has 850 on lte frequencies. The us lte frequencies are 700, 1700 and 1900 mainly (at least att and t mobile. Us cellular uses 850 and sprint uses 800 and 2500) the 850, 1700, 1900 and 2100 are used for the umts (aka 3g)

Hi does anyone have any ideas about voicemail? I used to be able to hold and press 1 on the dialler on my old S3. However I can't find any voicemail settings on this phone
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
i paid no taxes on the phone, only shipping. the phone was about $605 usd, plus shipping. the lowest price i have found so far. and the phone is brand new, orginal equipment in the original box and everything. it is the real deal. no problems.

yes, it is unlocked. my phone got here very quickly, and it was in perfect condition. the note 4 is awesome, but the reason i stuck with this phone, is because the note 4 is not water/dust proof. that is very important to me. so i will stick with this phone. and this phone has more ppi than the note 4. so this is still the most advanced screen on the planet for qhd screens.

where do you live?

because i spoke to at&t, and they told me that 850 band is used all around america.

[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
you should appreciate that miscom has taken the time to make a rom for this variant, and not be so dismissive about the work he put into this. he didn't have to do any of this, and we should all show more appreciation that we even have a custom rom for a variant that no one else has bothered to take the time to do anything with. so show some respect.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Mandoza:
I'm very thankful and glad for that but I'm just asking if there is any better ROM,

Got a problem with that fellah?
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
yes, with miscom's custom rom. look in the op, and follow the instructions for rooting, adding a custom recovery and a custom rom. with the custom rom there is not korean on the keypad.

---------- Post added at 03:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:30 AM ----------

yes i do. it is disrespectful to the dev, and the time and effort miscom put into giving us something that no one else bothered to do. why don't YOU make a better rom, instead of relying on other's to do everything for you? got a problem with that?????????
[Galaxy S 5 General] ACTION GAMER:
well Steve note same g906 for cpu and gpu and display only note 4 got bigger screen for my self i dont like 5.7 screen

Rooting...

Hello...

I recently bought a G906-K from a Korean dealer... I live in Queens, New York. I'm realizing from reading these forums that I have to be rooted to use the codes and get LTE... Right now I'm only getting HSPA... (I an on the AT&T Network)... I've tried the steps and codes to no avail...

However, since I'm new to this, I would like to Root my phone, add the Custom Rom and keep up with the benefits this FAST phone provides...

When I click on the Root link it sends me to a page that says: DEV-HOST... I click on the download button and it sends me to another page and I clicked on REGULAR DOWNLOAD... That click brings me to a Web-Site that is called MEDIAHOE (how quaint...lol). They are asking me to sign up...

Is this the proper procedure so far? I haven't signed into anything and needed to know if I'm going about this the right way. Like I said, I'm new to this... Maybe there's an easier way... or if I have to sign up, I will, and I hope I can find the Rooting link that way... Just wanted to check this out with you guys before I go any further...

Many Thanks!

P.J.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Israeli-Sparrow:
A. You don't have to be rooted in order to use the codes.

B. You probably pushed the wrong download button
[Galaxy S 5 General] Pjagati:
You are so right sir... I found the correct download button...

However, Any of the procedures that were posted here and codes don't seem to work for LTE on my phone... I even created the proper APN as instructed by posted pics and I found 3 guys on YouTube who basically show you the procedure, but I can't get it to work

I also have a new SIMS card, if that even matters, and my phone is unlocked... So I think I'm good to go. I only get 3g right now...

Thanks for your help...

Question: Would I ever have to use TriangleAway on this device? Would it permanently brick my device?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Galaxy S 5 General] Israeli-Sparrow:
Well. .. it has knox on... nobody really knows
[Galaxy S 5 General] Shahshiminator:
Oh well. I had a GT-i9305 that I could run it on.

Was a habit for me whenever I rooted and installed ROMs to reset the counter... Guess I should just leave that alone eh?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Galaxy S 5 General] Israeli-Sparrow:
Now when you install a new rom the knox counter changes not just the binary. Hence reseting the binary with triangle away will not affect the knox counter...

AFAIK yes. Check on gsmarena.com
[Galaxy S 5 General] icteyemd:
Hi. Did you buy your phone from ebay? Mine is and i tried to look back on the seller ads and it says there that video call may not work outside of Korea, so can't hope much now. Maybe miscom can come up some kind of rom that would allow 3G calling outside Korea.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Israeli-Sparrow:
It has to do with the fact that the video system in Korea is based on lte and volte services
[Galaxy S 5 General] icteyemd:

The note 4 is out and it's using the same processor snapdragon 805 but it clocked at 2.7Ghz and the g906s is clocked at 2.5. Is there any chance that we could use the kernel source of note 4 and compile it for s5 so we can also clocked at 2.7?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Lodix:
It is not a kernel related thing, there are 2 variants of the Snapdragon 805 with difference CPU clock. But of course with a custom kernel you can overclock to 2,7 GHz.

There's no voicemail settings. When I hold down 1 it automatically calls my voicemail.

---------- Post added at 07:10 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:09 AM ----------

There's no need to root in order to get AT&T LTE. Did you set your APN settings before doing the instructions? You will also have to delete all the other APN settings besides the AT&T one.

---------- Post added at 07:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:10 AM ----------

There's two sets of instructions here to get AT&T LTE. I have a G906K and the LTE works flawlessly.
[Galaxy S 5 General] nutttr:
I renamed the customer.XML mentioned earlier and I have voicemail settings options when I go to Settings in the phone app and then "Call" and there is a list of options.

Downside is now my phone identifies itself as a 906K rather than a 906S. But that's a very minor issue!
[Galaxy S 5 General] chungdae:
There really is no need for a higher clocking. It'll just drain the CPU faster. Maybe the Note 4 will be better suited for your needs. I'm sure a DEV can make one for our phone if they really wanted to.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Shahshiminator:
Why would you want to overclock it to 2.7GHz when it is already mighty powerful the way it is?

You would risk higher temps and greater battery drain...

yeah, i use to have an iphone also. you will love android much better than ios. i loved my iphone, until i discovered what you could do on an android phone. since then, i have hated apple and "i" everything. it's all a smoke screen. most apple users are just like i was. educated on their own device, but totally ignorant to all that android can do. so they will not understand until they spend significant time with an android.

yeah, t-dimension also told me that, and i wasn't happy about it either, but so did 28mobile. but when i got my phone it was still sealed. so it's all good. nothing will be missing from your box.

For those of you with a G906S, you can enter the SKT Hidden Menu by entering 319712358.

I'm not entirely sure why this behaviour is happening on your phone maximus, but let me see what I can fish out for you.

What LTE bands is your operator using?

Is your G906K set to have the correct preferred band?
[Galaxy S 5 General] maximus67:
22603 1800*MHzLTE (2x2 MIMO 75 Mbit/s/37.5 Mbit/s) .and yes is set to 1800.ty

Scrolling Wallpaper

Hi guys, may I know how to enable scrolling wallpaper on the homescreen?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Bigdog(DE):
Hi sm 906 peeps,

This thread is great! I am also looking at buying this phone (surprise). However, I would like to know the major disadvantages. I had a bit of a read and found a few, but not all in one place.

Obviously no phone is perfect, however, could you guys let me know what doesn't work on stock Rom over the am s5 900?

So far I gathered that mms, video calling don't work and sms are restricted to 160 characters. With the sms issue does this also apply to incoming sms?

Also, I currently live in Australia, however, I am travelling a bit for work. Am I correct to assume that the phone works here in Australia ( if so which provider), in Asia and Europe?

Furthermore, how is the batterylife? Some articles say on par with the s5, others say worse.

Thanks a bunch!

Cheers.

hello guys

i tried to root my phone with CF-Auto-Root-g906s_unofficial

but is says fail i dont know maybe i did something wrong
[Galaxy S 5 General] Shahshiminator:
Try changing to a different cable. If you used the USB cable that came with the G906S, change it with something else.

When I tried to flash that file to my phone using that cable, it kept on failing somehow; but as soon as I swapped to a different cable, it worked wonders.

That aside, I noticed something rather peculiar on my phone dialer.

Previously (on my S3 GT-I9305), whether or not my contacts had a country code appended to it, it would recognize to whom the number belongs to, and I would be able to select it immediately.

For example, my contact stored in the phone is +65 8888 9999, stored as Test1.

If I keyed in 8888, the name Test1 would appear at the top of the dialer, complete with the full name and number. All I had to do was to tap on that and the number would be keyed in automatically.

Now, I have to key in +65 8888, only then the information with the name and number would appear.

Seems weird that I would have to key in the country code though, but oh well.

Did anybody notice this too?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Israeli-Sparrow:
Yes. But, in this dialer you can start type the NAME of the contact and it will sort of auto complete it (eg. Dan will give you all the contact with this string in them)
[Galaxy S 5 General] Shahshiminator:
Well that is true, but I was thinking of what if I had to check if I had someone's number.

Previously I could just punch in the first 3 or 4 digits and the name would show up if I did have the number, but now it seems like it doesn't. Hmm.

Would this be ROM based or CSC based? Would appreciate your views on this!
[Galaxy S 5 General] Israeli-Sparrow:
Again, I think it has to do with the rom and the Korean public demand
[Galaxy S 5 General] D.O.C:
It does show on my device, but I did modify it (CSC and other options I don't even remember now). What I mean is that it is software based and easy to implement. As soon as I have the time I will provide [MENTION=639045]miscom[/MENTION] with some tweaks and tips so you guys can have all the features you want, but patience, I don have a full schedule so I got to find the time to do this. :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] tookie015:
The phone should work in Australia. I got the S version and it works in New Zealand (I'm on Vodafone).

Since the GSM/3G band in Australia and New Zealand is similar, the phone should also work there.

Battery life, it depends on how your usage. If you're a heavy user of course it will run out faster..

But the advantage of the Korean version is that Samsung packaged this with 2 batteries and an external charger so technically you should be fine in the battery department.
[Galaxy S 5 General] nutttr:
Except that the phone doesn't have 3G at 900mhz, which Optus uses in a lot of places and Vodafone uses in most regional areas. The phone is mostly suitable for Telstra, sort of suitable for Vodafone (get the 906S though as voda will start their conversion of 3G 850mhz to 4G 850mhz next year) but you miss regional 3G, which is a big problem if you travel outside the city, and least suitable for Optus.

[Galaxy S 5 General] Bigdog(DE):

[Galaxy S 5 General] nutttr:
Who mentioned that? First I've heard of that.

I use it on Vodafone, so no idea about Telstra. Telstra is releasing 700mhz LTE very soon and it won't work on that at all (it's band 28 that we use here not band 17 the phone has)

Hi people I have the sm g906s on optus and i can get 3g
[Galaxy S 5 General] Israeli-Sparrow:
The question, if I understood correctly, was not about the ability to get 3g but as for the quality of the connection. ..
[Galaxy S 5 General] nutttr:
Yup, but that is 2100mhz. Optus splits their 3G between 900 and 2100mhz. So you will definitely be missing out on coverage, speed and reliability. The 900mhz network penetrates buildings better and spreads better... Considering Optus' network already has average coverage...
