[Galaxy S 5 Accessories] ElenaPower:
And thinking about the capacity they pronounce you never ever will get even near 4000mAh or more mAh with a LiIon/Poly battery with the dimensions of the original S5 battery.

We had a thread here about MPJ replacement battery for the S5 (thread at xda, producers webshop) which should be a 4300mAh version. I only bought it in order to check the capacity because there was a big discussion on this. I checked it with a special computer driven battery charger and with the S5 itself. It had nearly the same capacity as my some month old original S5 battery. I cannot say anything about long term use because I only tested it for some weeks.

So my recommendation would be get an original battery directly from Samsung (in order to not get a fake) or look after Anker (I tested it good with my S3), Zerolemon, MPJ. They are more or less proved quality.

Hi All;

I'm trying to import my firefox bookmarks into Chrome on my nexus 5. When I go to the bookmarks screen in Chrome, there is no menu entry for importing bookmarks. Matter of fact, there is no specfic menu entries for bookmarks of any kind. The menu in bookmarks screen is identical to the menu in the main screen.

I even searched and found the answer in the help, but it tells me to go Chrome menu, select bookmarks, then select import bookmarks. But ..... there is NO menu entry for importing.

I'm either blind or this new phone is too much for an old man like me. :crying:

So I am on a Verizon SCH-I535 with 4.4.2 which everything I read says cannot be rooted because the bootloader is completely locked down. [insert sad face]

What I am currently looking for is some kind of app that can record actions and repeat them. like clicks/taps. So if I wanted to click something over and over and over and over...I wouldn't have to physically do it and would not have to come up with some robot to tap for me. They exist in Play store and online but I am yet to find one that can be used on non-rooted phones...hence my predicament. [insert sad face again]

Anyone know of anything out there that can do this without being on a rooted phone?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] roaddog665:
You can get root on 4.4.2. Search for "Towelroot". Its an apk, so it's super easy. You just can't unlock the bootloader, so no custom recovery or roms.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] thepktrckt:
Has anyone noticed that the S5 doesn't pickup fingerprints as easily as it's predecessors? I've used the Note 2 and S4 and had to constantly clean the screen. With my S5 Active I'm noticing I don't have to do it nearly as often, on top of that I think there is a corner of the screen that doesn't have the coating. I kept noticing that my selfie camera was smudged and I just assumed that is where I must grab the phone most often. I finally noticed it's the only part of my screen that smudges easily and repeatedly. I've attached two pics of before and after pressing my finger against the screen, you'll notice it's not uniform to the shape of a finger.

Anyone else notice this? If you have an S5 active, wipe it down with a microfiber cloth and give it a try, I'm curious if it's intentional.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Greycloak42:

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stevae:
i am trying to root a friends htc evo 4g lte, and finally got the bootloader unlocked, then started the root process. i got to the point of the custom recovery, where you mount the internal storage, but it some how has been deleted, and it is asking me for a decrypt password, to unlock the internal storage data, and that i only have 30 attempts before it will be lost. according to her, she has never setup any accounts or passwords on her phone, so i am wondering if there is a factory password, or what else I should do, as the root process was in the middle, and not complete? please get me an answer to this, as she uses this phone for her business, and needs it immediately. i have samsung phones, and the root is much easier, so i didn't expect all of this. any help is extremely appreciated.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
Unlocking the bootloader wipes the phone so any internal data I believe isn't there anymore. Reboot back to fastboot and try reflashing the recovery. Also HBOOT info would probably help. Just keep calm. It'll be okay.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stevae:
if this was my phone i would be a lot calmer, but this is her only phone, and she uses it for business. the samsung rooting is a million times easier, and without a single problem. i have done dozens of them, and NEVER had any issues. i don't understand why htc makes you do the bootloaded, which is a monster process all to its own, and then puts you through so many trials and tribulations to complete the root. when i root a samsung, all the information is still thereso i assumed it would be the same on any android device. as you can imagine, i am bugging to lose her all her info.

ok, so i reflashed recovery using the cmd prompt, and it flashed ok. then i loaded supersu. no problem. but then when i try to load the stock htc rom, it says it can't find md5, and reloads into a white screen with green htc on it. that's it. it goes no further. anything you can tell me to help get this thing up and running?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
What rom are you trying to flash? Also HBOOT info I'm guessing HBOOT 2.09.0000
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stevae:
the hboot is 2.10.0000

and the rom is: Download 3.16.651.3 Stock Firmware with root for HTC Evo 4G LTE (Flash with TWRP after factory reset)

when i try to flash it, it says, "no md5 file". then just goes to the white screen and stays there.

but i am willing to flash any rom to get it up and running. i have no problems getting into bootloader or recovery.

top of my fastboot screen says:

******* tampered

******* unlocked

jewel PVT SHIP S-ON RL

do i just flash it like any other rom, or do i have to do something special for this ruu?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stevae:
i think it was. and yes, it was upgraded today. i spent quite a while unlocking the bootloader. that took forever. then i tried to root it. but had a problem right in the middle of that. when i went to mount the int sd card, it said nothing was there. then it told me i needed a decrypt password. so i was told to wipe everything. so i did. then reloaded twrp and supersu. that is where i am now. man, i just want to get this thing up and running again, no matter what rom or anything else. this is not my phone, and she uses it for business. she needs it as soon as possible, and i know so very little about htc.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
Well since it was updated you need a rom that is built on the new layout. The link I have you is for a rom that should work fine for you. It is sense 5.5 and personally I love it. Hopefully your friend will too. Just dl and flash. Also you need a modified twrp recovery from Captain_Throwback.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stevae:
so the recovery i have won't work? do you have a link for this modified twrp? and is it a zip file, because i can flash zip files, but image files don't even show up.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=50112370

Either of the twrps listed in this thread should work. Fastboot flash recovery nameofrecovery.img. personally I would rename the recovery to either twrp or recovery and make sure it is in the same folder as the fastboot files. Or if you are s-off put in a zip fodder after renaming to recovery.img
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stevae:
ok, i got them. i'll go give it a shot. i really appreciate all the help, i'll hit your thanks bar many times.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stevae:
man, i can't believe i went through all the things i went through, and i am right back in the same boat i was this afternoon. i renamed and flashed the custom recovery. i then flashed the rom, and when it looked like it was doing everything right, and starting to load the rom, it took me right back to the prompt "Decrypt Storage". type password to decrypt storage.

30 attempts remain before device data is deleted.

how can i get past this thing? i wiped everything there was to wipe on this phone.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] gstanke:
Reflash recovery again. Or try a different one from captains thread.

---------- Post added at 05:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:52 AM ----------

@Captain_Throwback, you got any insight for this particular situation?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stevae:
i got so mad about the decrypt thing popping back up, that i went into wipe and did a full "format data". now the decrypt message is gone, but the phone will not recognize the internal sd card. the only place it shows up is in advanced wipe area, and i can wipe it individually, but in the other areas of the phone, it doesn't show up. for instannce, if i try to usb mount, there is no internal card, so it will not show anything. so how do i get this internal sd card back? i can't flash anything right now because it isn't recognized.

two other questions, should the int sd card be formatted in fat32 or exfat? and is the rom you gave me odexed or deodexed?

UPDATE: so i finally decided to use the root folder to flash the older twrp, and it worked. then i was able to see the internal folder again. so i tried to reload the supersu, and rom you suggested, but when it loaded up, it took me right back to the "decrypt storage" message. so i tried to reload the newer twrp, you suggested, and the int sd card is not recognized again. so i am guessing i have a lot of miss matched software on this phone, and maybe that is the reason i am getting this message. any idea how to determine exactly which ones are out of place? in the mean time, i googled the decrypt storage message, and many people have been through this also, but i haven't seen a fix. so i will go back to your friends site, and try the other twrp for now.

UPDATE2: i just decided to relock the bootloader, and ruu it back to original. i hope this works. i was able to relock the bootloader, and i am in the middle of ruu'ing it now.

UPDATE3: yeah, i've got it back up. so glad to get this thing running again. i wish i had of understood what you meant by ruu before, i would have saved myself a lot of grief.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] stevae:
the fact that, while setting things up for the first time, this phone will not let you skip accounts, and just get into your phone is crap. you should be able to set the accounts up at your whim. and even if you try to set a new account up with htc, the code the phone gives you, will not work on the htc site. even if you keep generating a new code on the phone, the site will not take it. what the hell is that? this entire experience with this phone makes me appreciate having a samsung much, much, much more than ever before. htc needs to get their head out of their ass, and stop making everything so difficult.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Captain_Throwback:
Based on a quick read on this thread, the problem appears to have been an incomplete update to the new layout. The HBOOT got updated, but the image doesn't appear to have been flushed again to update the data and system partitions fully, and then the ROM booted to ensure everything was initialized properly. That would be the way to fix it going forward.

Also, you can skip through all of the account setup stuff in the ROM - I'm not sure what you mean about that :confused:.

So, when my pics and videos are synced to Dropbox, pics show correct time, but videos are off by 7 hours. Anyone has same issue??

Here is the reply from Dropbox (my questions are -- is the possible, and how do I correct that):

Thanks for your reply and for bringing this to our attention!

We've done some testing here with a Samsung S4, an S3, a Sony Xperia Z1 and an iPhone about the issue you described and we found that the issue only occurs with Samsung devices.

What happens is that when you take a picture/video on any camera device, there is meta-data saved in the picture or video file. This meta data holds information about the file such as date the picture was taken etc.

Dropbox then uses his meta-data to rename the file with the correct date and time the picture was taken.

What I found through testing on multiple devices, is that Samsung devices for some reason save video files (MP4 Files) with a different time in the UTC timezone.

So even though your pictures are saved with the correct timezone, for some reason the video files are all converted to UTC format. This means that when Dropbox then does the upload, the date used is UTC.

This didn't occur on the Sony Android device or the iPhone device I tested with. So unfortunately it looks like the issue is the actual creation of the video file from your camera on the Samsung device.

Hope this helps!

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djnoicatse:
To be honest with you I'm not sure. I do know android has made some changes in KitKat in regards to the external SD card not being able to write/read for 3rd party apps. There was a fix for this somewhere on XDA. Now the question is, if this is related? Couldn't tell you. Only advice I can give is, leave your apps installed in your internal memory. Keep everything else for your external SD. Glad I could help!!
