where is miscom? haven't seen him in a while.

on another note, do any of you have youtube vid's freeze the video, while the audio continues? this has happened a few times with me now, and it is starting to bother me. a restart seems to fix it, and although it only happens once in a while, it is still troublesome.
[Galaxy S 5 General] D.O.C:
This is interesting. I wonder if the S/K models would benefit from this since they use qualcomm processors. This guy used it in an S5?

There is a new system to open all bands to our device. Check out the link above.

I wonder if miscom could make an executable file to simplify this for us? It seems it could solve a lot of people's problems in different countries.

Sorry doc, i didn't see that you also posted something about this.

Wow, powerful stuff. I'm desperate to unlock LTE 800 mhz on my G906K so am definitely gonna try the method (just need some more reading to do in order to understand it more).
[Galaxy S 5 General] MOPKOBKA:
e-bay prices $200 cheaper especially after announcing iPhone 6 and same level protection.

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

Anybody evaluated sound quality over head phones of the phone? I understand it doesn't have Wolfson chip, so certainly loosing to 900h. However maybe new 805 integrated chip DAC produces a decent quality? maybe analog circuit got upgraded as well to better transistors?
[Galaxy S 5 General] MOPKOBKA:
I consider the same seller and actually have the phone in my cart. It is good to know that k model works in US, so I will pull the trigger as only price hits $600, hopefully as only iPhone 6 hits store shelves.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
probably is. that is why i went back and added the "sorry", as i didn't see your post when i posted.

yeah, the hell with 28mobile. they were nothing but trouble, from start to finish.

t-dimension is cheaper, and more reliable than ebay. i have read a lot of the comments on ebay, when i was considering buying from them, with so many problems with 28mobile, and many people were getting fake phones, wasn't getting them at all or phones that had problems. i got my 906s from t-dimension.com over a month ago, and only paid $605 usd, and got it in two business days. if you're not getting it from t-dimension, then i would look on amazon, which now has them also. jfyi.
[Galaxy S 5 General] D.O.C:
Lol, sorry I didn't read your sorry. :)

Anyway I guess it comes to personal preference were you buy at (nothing wrong with you posting your opinion). I did have a great, experience with 28mobile, no trouble at all.

Anyhow, back to lte-a, I pmd the original creator of the band modifying mod posted on the thread we linked. It would be really great if it was possible to unlock all bands.

Better to post the hw Id for a g906k to be on the safe side. This does have a brick potential, is not like flashing zip files through cwm

WiFi Problem

Hello all there,

The only think that i have problem is with the WiFi because i have VDSL in my home i am locked on 50Mbps and with speedtest i get 46Mbps on Ethernet and 42Mbps on WiFi with a notebook but with the phone i get nearly 7Mpbs . Anyone have this problem? Is there some settings to do on the SKT secrete menu?

Thanks in advance

I have considered same seller at e-bay, but indeed its AU site looks cheaper. I am only wondering why white phone is cheaper than in other colors? I like white color from Apple days, but maybe some specific in white S5 makes it not popular? Any idea what does special edition bring extra? It is just a little more expensive but maybe worth of it.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Shahshiminator:
To those of you who wants video calls to be enabled, I have done some edits to my CSC and I think I maybe have found a lead to enable video calls.

This may be a lead, but who knows; just posting it out here for people to maybe try to tinker and maybe together we can get a solution.

... crap. editing my post via xda mobile caused the code to disappear.. i'll edit and post this again as soon as i get access to a pc.

This seemed to enable me to hit the video call button, but somehow the error appeared (as shown in attached picture).

[MENTION=316446]D.O.C[/MENTION]. Maybe try the *#0011# trick to see if you have additional bands?
[Galaxy S 5 General] D.O.C:
No mate, they show the same on that menu, either way they must be hardcoded (prewritten menu), so I dont think they will be shown there.

Without really connecting to these "unlocked" networks, all my observations wpuld be objective (obviously I do get better reception and faster wifi speed :P), but as said....all subjective and not real measurements.
[Galaxy S 5 General] risx:
Would you mind listing out the steps you did different from the other thread to get all the bands? I am curious to try this
[Galaxy S 5 General] D.O.C:
I used EFS Professional to get into DIAG mode, installed this driver, the com port used varies a bit from the one described at the instructions (showed only a few, so it was not hard to see which one was the right one, you can try a "trial and error"), and when modifying the NV I did not select all the GSM - WCDMA Bands like the author did, since selecting Japan 1700 and XI - 1500 would cause it to show no signal at all.

If you try it, please make sure to annotate somewhere your #1877 code so I can compare it with mine (pm it to me if you want to, although all 906 should be the same (since its bands, not imei or anything personal) I think I did not memorized it correctly, just to double check).

BTW, when entering into service mode (code 2263) via Shortcut master (free on play store) and comparing it to my Note 3 int. I can select all the same bands except one, the Note 3 has Band 20 whereas the G906S has Band 17, So I am guessing it does work? (need more objective testing though)
[Galaxy S 5 General] tookie015:
DOC, is this ROM dependent? Do we need to do this everytime we flash new ROM?
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Will it work on SM-G906K you think? If not, what needs to be done for it to work? As I said, happy to test though I'm nowhere near to be an expert. Still, perfectly able to follow clear instructions and take the risk.
[Galaxy S 5 General] D.O.C:
No, even if you flash a new firmware with odin, it seems the changes you make are permanent, but wait!, I do not even have confirmation this actually works!

Yeah, G906K would use the same steps, but, as I said, hold up until we at least know its worth your time.

Lets see....download Shortcut Master Lite from Google Play, then go to code 2263

I see this options on my screen, are these options the same ones all of you got? (without modding anything), sorry, I do not remember what I had before XD, what a noob :P

we need to get more dev's interested in the customization of this phone. everybody should spread the word on how awesome this phone is, and try to get more dev's interested in doing more with it. with the note 4 coming out, there should be a lot more dev for the 805 and the 420. but we need to get people to push more customization for this phone.

i've been trying to talk to indie with omega rom. this phone would be unbeatable with a full omega rom on it. i have also spoken with miscom about working with indie to make something like that happen. it is in all of our interests, to get more devs involved with this phone. what do you guys think?

[Galaxy S 5 General] Shahshiminator:
If you flashed miscom's ROM, most likely that would be the cause since his initial build was based on the 906K ROM...

yeah, that's what i was thinking, but still think that's kind of weird. haven't ever notice this being the case with other custom roms. no biggie.

another question is all of the sudden my youtube widget (that let's you scroll through four videos at a time) has disappeared from my phone. have any of you guys experienced this? this widget always comes stock with all sammi roms, and all of the sudden it is gone. and i can't seem to find any information on it. can't find it in play store either. anybody know anything about this?
[Galaxy S 5 General] tookie015:
If you're on miscom's ROM, maybe it was disabled/removed from it?

I used his earlier ROM and I noticed there are olleh's apps which weren't there before.

The opposite could happen with your youtube.
[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
when was his latest update? i'm not sure if i am on the older one or the newest one. i discovered that it was about the new youtube update, not the rom. but now i am very interested to know if there is a newer version of this rom than the one i'm on.

[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
yeah, the funny thing is that there are two antutu's right now. there is the new antutu 5, which is a beta. that is the one that you are getting the errors on. then there is an update to the older antutu 4, which updates it to 5.1. that is the one you want to load. it will work on miscoms rom. i know it's a little confusing. i don't know why they were name them like that, but it is what it is. so try to find the older antutu 4 if you can. then let it update. or just look for the 5.1, and not the 5 beta. hopefully that will get you a good copy. good luck.

Guys, quick question to G906S users (maybe k users too).

My GPS wont see any satellites nor fix a lock whenever a sim card is inserted (try gps status free on play store).

However, upon removal of the sim card and rebooting without it, gps works fine (it actually locks very quickly and sees a lotnof sattelites).

I am wondering if this is happening to all?
[Galaxy S 5 General] louie875:
No my GPS works fine.
[Galaxy S 5 General] D.O.C:
so you do see satellites and get a gps lock without using a usim?
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
Over the last month I've been using GPS navigation a lot, never had a lock issue. Satellites getting found super fast (much better than on my old sgs3).
[Galaxy S 5 General] D.O.C:
Tried already with 2 different sim cards and the same, I mean, I have no problem navigating nor locating my position, its on the specific gps programs (like gps status) that it just wont find any satellite until I boot sithout a sim card....like the gps was usim dependant of some sort, will keep digging.

did you overclock your device?
[Galaxy S 5 General] rayone:
A dozen or so pages back I asked if any knew how to enable "Internet calling" from the stock dialer... it seemed to be disabled so I set about finding a way to enable it.

Sure I can use CSipSimple ,et-al... but I wanted clutter free.

So I tried to make my own ROM which was basically a completely stripped out G906SKSU1ANH5, nothing Korean and I just added minimal GAPPS from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2397942.

After a week of somewhat success... I've given up bcos to be honest it's not at all stable on 1st boot, and I'm tired of flashing.

Anyway i've included a flashable modified /system/csc (for experimental testing) and just the csc directory which enable a whole bunch of things including "Internet calling". It's also possible to enable a Video Call menu but not at the same time.

csc/features.xml : <CscFeature_Contact_EnableIPCall>true</CscFeature_Contact_EnableIPCall>

Enables SIP calls, but disables the Video menu.

I made a flashable zip, which sometimes, for some unknown reason breaks root... all it does is copy over the CSC directory and does a Dalvik flush.

In the end the most stable way I've found to get a Korea free ROM is to:

1.- Have root

2.- Delete all the apps you don't want (T and SKT crap), or can update with "GAPPS"

3.- Replace the /system/csc with the attached here.

4.- Do a F.Reset

This will reset the phone, and go through the startup wizard and not enable any SKT stuff.

The csc/customer.xm is for Vodafone Australia, but it doesn't seem to make any difference what I put here, even if you leave the original region, sales code, etc. or none.

I've tested the csc files >10x and never had an issue... except when replacing apk's.

On the other hand flashing the zip file would sometimes break root (CWM would say root's broken) which would make the phone stay in the booting screen > which then required flashing miscom's "system" updates, or on other occasions even requiring to ODIN the stock rom.

I have no idea why it's a variable experience... but this would have been my first rom since the days of Windows Mobile.

I've currently got Wanam xposed, and everything seems to be working great for my use case... SIP calls have REALLY low volume for some reason though (missing codec?).

Other tweaks my rom had were:

[Galaxy S 5 General] stevae:
i was having the same problem as you, with my 906s. it would always say, "looking for satellite", but never lock onto it. i downloaded a program called gps test, and still it would show many satellites in view, but none in use. this bothered me for a while until i saw your post. then i tried taking my sim card out, and of course it worked. but now after putting my sim back in, it still works. so you might try a couple of combinations of using iwth and without, and maybe you will get lucky with it. sorry i can't give you a more scientific answer.
