My antutu benchmark says almost 46000.

My only problem is that I cant get 4G to work. I only get 3G (I know that includes 3G+).

Do I need to follow the tutorial to add more bands to get it to work ?? (That tutorial says I need a custom rom, but the only custom rom avaiable says a different baseband, I have a different baseband and I dont know if that would be risky.)

I hope you guys can help me. Sorry for my bad english.
[Galaxy S 5 General] tookie015:
Maybe that's related to the network in your country?

I have the same G906S, on standard ROM and I have access to 4G without doing anything.

There's a thread on S5 bands here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2948822

What country/network provider you're on? Check the set of LTE bands supported by your phone vs. those used by your carrier.
[Galaxy S 5 General] toasty69:
Are you flashing back to the stock ROM? Rooted and installed CWM?

I don't have any problems if I flash back to the stock ROM, then root, via download mode and ODIN, then install CWM (same process again). Then install miscom's ROM in CWM.

Thanks to miscom for the G906L ROM, which I can confirm works great!
[Galaxy S 5 General] francisac3:
tnx

i already flashed stock via odin.. everytime its boot up to system there is a blank screen but i can heard sounds that is was working.. then mostly it is stuck @ samsung logo only.. i think this is hardware problem already.. damn...

problem switch WIFI to 3G/H/H+

my phone G906K (stock rom + G906SK_J2_AddOns.zip) now has a problem .. when switching from wifi network the data connection will pack down and no longer connects ... I tried to reset the network and I tried another sim ... almost always packs the same and you do not connect more .. to do that I have to re-connect to the mobile network disconnect the wifi (although there is no coverage usually always leave on, unplug and restart the data connection) ... what can it be? ??

ah, it crashes when under mobile network because if I go back under wifi unlocks and connects normally!

Thank

Guido
[Galaxy S 5 General] Audioboxer:
Really doubt you'll ever find any replacement parts for this phone. Exclusive to one country and it was the first Samsung device with it's screen (and probably only - The S6 while the same resolution will probably use a different panel/size).

Getting impatient waiting on lollipop!
[Galaxy S 5 General] prodigiez:
maybe the s6 international version will have 2k screen and s6 prime will come with 4k screen :P
[Galaxy S 5 General] toasty69:
Yeah unfortunately, sounds like a hardware problem. As for the screen, if you bought it from a physcial shop in Hong Kong, you could try bringing it back there. I asked the shop keeper where I bought my phone from and he said that they can sometime manage to bring it back to Korea for customers for repair, but it rarely happens.
[Galaxy S 5 General] nickraider82:
no solution for me ??? I can do a wipe cache ???

I have the stock rom NK1 + root + CMW Unofficial PhilZ + G906 Addons NJ2 ... I can put the stock rom to reset the phone??? or I can do a wipe data without having to throw the phone ??? in case of stock rom, what is the procedure for the flash?

if I put this costum rom G906_K1_DUAL_SK.zip by miscom I can eventually return to the stock rom ??? and how should I do?

thank you and excume me for my english.

WiFi issues

Hi everyone. I've got the G906S also and can confirm that it's been working fine on Vodafone UK too. Only issue I have with the phone is some rather shocking WiFi range issues. Has by far and away the best connection on the .11ac when within ten or so feet with direct line of sight (800+Mbps), but once an object gets in the way or I move the phone further away it instantly drops to .11n and only at around 50~60Mbps. Has anyone experienced any such issues? I have a Galaxy S4 and a Galaxy Tab S too and they are maintaining their .11ac connection for way longer (around 200Mbps and 500Mbps respectively when the S5 LTE-A drops out)? Not the end of the world with regards to internet as 60Mbps is quite adequate, but I distribute a lot of my music and photos across multiple devices from my NAS and this would be severely affected.

Was hoping it was flaky software that may get fixed (official or custom ROM) rather than a faulty module or antennas...
[Galaxy S 5 General] chungdae:
That's strange. My wifi range seems to be on par as the S5 Active and S4 Active I had previously. Works about 50 feet outside through concrete walls for me.

[Galaxy S 5 General] iam_douchebag:
G906s :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] prodigiez:
[MENTION=639045]miscom[/MENTION] as i know , G906S will not show H, H+ whenever u r connected to HSPA...it shows only 3G.. can you try to decompile Systemui.apk and go to res/value and edit bools.xml as below

<bool name="config_hspa_data_distinguishable">true</bool>

<bool name="config_show4GForLTE">true</bool>

then recompile and test it ?

This will separate the HSDPA , HSPA+ with their respective icon
[Galaxy S 5 General] CarpeDiemPW:
Thought that would be the case... not sure what to do now as suspect Samsung won;t support the phone bought outside of it's target market and not convinced I want to return in to Hong Kong for a replacement. Might just have to live with it. Cheers for the reply though :)
[Galaxy S 5 General] chungdae:

---------- Post added at 12:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:08 PM ----------

Any Samsung service centre in the world will repair the phone, As the phone was not sold in their official country, Samsung will charge you a handling fee, check up fee , labour charge and the cost of the spare parts.

all I can say it's not cheap, and Samsung also has the rights to reject the repair, and ask you to return it the official countries from where the phone was originated from for support.

SM-G906S no LTE

Hi guys,

I would like to know from your side which custom ROM or original ROM are you using to be possible to use 4G band B3 or any 4G band but not from Korea. For example i was trying this original firmware "G906SKSU1ANG8_G906SSKC1ANG8_G906SKSU1ANG7_HOME.tar" and also the last custom rom for SM-G906S provided by [MENTION=639045]miscom[/MENTION] "G906_K1_DUAL_SK.zip" and i cannot use 4G. If i select in the menu "LTE Preffered" and then i select all LTE Bands or only Band B3 because in my country we use B3 B7 and B20 i can find the available 4G networks but i cannot register to them i see only this message "Failed to register to the network". What could be the problem?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
What is your country / carrier ? LTE band support got nothing to do whatsoever with a ROM that you're using. Either your phone's hardware supports the frequencies used by your carrier or it doesn't.
[Galaxy S 5 General] marius240288:
network carriers

I'm from Romania and i use Vodafone and also T-mobile (Telekom) but without success to register in 4G. If i do a search i find both networks but i can't register.

Telekom has 4G in B3 1800MHz

Vodafone has 4G in B3 1800MHz, B20 800MHz, and B7 2600MHz.

Thank you!
[Galaxy S 5 General] Israeli-Sparrow:
Try using a different sim card
[Galaxy S 5 General] botwa2000:
B3 and B7 are supported by the phone out of the box, nothing to do with a ROM.

Does your SIM card work on LTE in other phones? I suppose there's good LTE coverage where you're testing so it's not a question of poor network?
[Galaxy S 5 General] marius240288:
I will go tomorrow to replace my sim card because it is not a 4G sim. I called the costumer care from Vodafone and they told that my sim is not supported by 4G network ... The simcard from T-mobile is new and they told me that i can use 4G but is not working... I'll inform you tomorrow after i will replace my sim card from Vodafone with new one which can be used in 4G. The problem is, i don't have any other phone to test both simcards to check if they support 4G or not.
