[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Travisholt92:
I made this thread to try and get the get the flame burning again on this topic. It seems since we've achieved safestrap people don't seem too interested in pursuing an unlocked bootloader. I understand that if i want AOSP i should try trading my phone for one with an unlocked bootloader (knowing that somebody is going to comment saying that). But what does that do for the community? Nothing productive. Speaking theoretically here, how is a bootloader unlock achieved with the bootloader lock key? Is there some way of inputting it to unlock the bootloader? What happens if you have the wrong key? Is there a way to create script a keygen that goes through every possibility of however many digit of a code the bootloader lock key is? Or can it only be done via exploit?

Thank you very much for taking the time to read this. Let the discussion begin.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Dennisg34:
If you took the time to read the numerous discussions on this you'd know the answers. People are dropping the unlocked bootloader since even the S4's hasn't been unlocked (since MDK baseband). Regarding the five key questions, it would take a super computer thousands of years to try every possibility. Wrong one would equal bricked phone. Exploit would be only way, and now that Geohot works for Google, he's out of the picture and I'm sure the other Devs aren't going to bother. SS is fine for now, you can always switch carriers if you care that much.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] Travisholt92:
So the community on this device will never progress. Awesome.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] KennyG123:
That is a real possibility. Now with this lesson learned, look for a carrier or device next time that does not lock the bootloader. HTC locks their bootloader but is good enough to provide us users with a way to unlock it. As mentioned, bootloaders are WAY different than obtaining root and there is a very real chance of killing the device in the trial and error process.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 General] MrMalone:
I feel where you are coming from i felt the same way. Switched for an HTC One m8 and besides the fact that the bootloader can be unlocked, it's just a much better phone. Should give it a shot! A GS5 is an equal trade for an m8 on craigslist so it shouldn't be too hard. It does seem the general consensus is that the dev's have given up on even trying to unlock it so i would just accept it and move on unfortunately.

I had rooted my phone using the downgrade method a while back (MK2 -> NB1?) For whatever reason, I decided I wanted to flash a clean ROM. I went ahead and flashed I337UCUFNB1_Rootable_Full_Odin and rooted with Towelroot (I never wiped cache or data with Safestrap before...completely forgot about it). I am now on rooted NB1 with superuser installed, however Safestrap refuses to install. After I install the recovery, even though it states the installation was complete, the status of Safestrap is still "Not Installed".

Did I make a booboo by not wiping/uninstall safestrap beforehand? Is the old version and the new conflicting? halp

I'm very new in the extended battery fields, and I'm intending to buy the note 3 very soon.

All I want out of this phone is to stay on for 10 hours, but I want a thickness to fit into the pocket.

Considering that I will make an order overseas ( live in Egypt) I would love some advice on a reliable battery that I would not be able to refund.

So which brand is tried, good, and reliable MPJ, Zerolemon, or other? Your help is much appreciated.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Broded:
I've used an Anker 6400mah, and the ZL. Both can do 10 hours on easy.

Form factor wise, the note with the anker battery and extended back cover isn't terrible. I actually preferred it because the back fit my hand better and gave me a better grip than with the stock battery and cover. It slips into the pocket just as easily.

If you want a case, I'd still go with Anker. Coupled with the Anker, I've been using I use a seidio dilex case. It feels much more secure/ less cheap than the ZL case plus it has a kickstand. The buttons have a much more tactile feeling with the seido case. You can cut an otterbox defender to accommodate either battery, but you are sacrificing protection and risking destroying an expensive case.

If size is the biggest concern though, I'd just buy a second OEM battery and swap it out when your battery gets too low.

Hi,

I'm somewhat of a noob regarding Tytn/Hermes updates etc. Hopefully someone can help me with this problem.

I just bought a Jabra BT620s bluetooth headphone. Connecting works but when I play music in Windows Mediaplayer, the music sometimes stops as if it's buffering a stream.

Does anyone know if this has something to do with a bad connection or should I install some other musicplayer on my PDA? Or is it because the Jabra is just a worthless headphone?

thanks in advance
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] TDIPower:
this has been noticed by several folks now. also problems such as slowing down and speeding up of the audio.

My tests have concluded that i couldnt run my bluetooth head set and bluetooth gps at the same time. on its own the headset was great.

Check you have nothing running as well as wmp also if it is an a2dp headset do a search for the way to add support somewhere on here.. sorry dont know the link.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] theshaz:
Music skipping on me as well

I just bought the BT620 - and tried several music players - they all skip. Sometimes I can get thru an entire song and other times it skips so bad as to cal it worthless. The speed up and slow down pitch is very annoying.

Is the issue the headset or the BT stack the MDA uses.

Is there a fix/hack ?

Thanks
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] CrazyBrit:
I just purchased the Cingular 8525 and BT620s. I can only get the headphones to work as a telephone headset. They will not work with the media player at all, the sound comes from the handset everytime. I have tried pairing them several times, but with no success. Any ideas?
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] BrainWashed:
Same Problem. But my BT620s does not work with AVM Blue!Fritz, MDA3 nor with a Logitech DiNovo Desktop. I'm getting angrrrry...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] CrazyBrit:
Actually, I got it fixed. With the headset on, and paired, goto the communications manager (second button down on the right side of the handset) and click on settings>bluetooth settings. Then go to the Devices tab. If the heaset is paired with the 'phone you will see it in the list. Click and hold the stylus on the Jabra BT620s item and a pop-up menu will appear. Select "Set as Wireless Stereo". Majically the 620s headset will start flashing both earphones (instead of just one) and it works fine. The headset will automatically switch from phone mode to A2DP mode from that point on. It's slick. I have not encountered the buffering problem reported by others.

Good luck...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] UnrealTechno:
Just got my bt620s's and am having the same issue. thought that reducing the quality with fit4cat would work, but nothing seems to fix it. also, for some reason the X-button functionality of spb pocketplus is gone when listening to music with my 8525. After pairing the headphones with my G5, sound quality is worse then than that of the 8525, but I experienced no pauses or skips with the computer, however massive pauses (almost a minute) with the 8525. Tried using mortplayer and wmp. I think these are getting returned unless any of you have found a fix in the meantime. Not to mention the entire phone slows to a crawl, not good.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Accessories] rvoica:
I too use the Jabra BT620s with the 8525. I also have buffering problems. However, the Jabra also freezes (i.e., locks) the 8525. Bottom line, the Jabra BT620s is being returned.

Mono instead of Stereo !?!?

Mind the fix of CrazyBrit above, it made the BT 620s jump to Audio mode (both earpieces flashing). The problem with interupted streams got fixed once I shut the WLAN / WIFI function of while listening to music. Remember: WLAN and BT use the same frequency band. In a "normal" data stream interferences are a side issue, but in realtime streams - fatal.

However, even that everything seemed fine with my set, I only hear MONO audio, ie. the left and the right earpiece give exactly the same audio. Now i am stuck. Any hint for me? I got a Swisscom / Vodafone v1605 OEM of the HTC TyTN plus the BT620s. Anybody aware of a firmware update, a software fix or a tricky setting?

Thanks,

Pefis

Well guys ....

I used to have the skipping issue as well , seems to be either a a2dp hack issue , or the ROM is too slow to handle streaming and decoding siultaneously !

Not any more .......

I started using XM6 , and WOW , I can run pocket player without overclocking , and I can finally get pocketmusic to run smoothly and stream a2dp !

So give it a try , worked for me , may work for u !:D

I am running the bt620s with wm6, everythnig works beautifully. It also worked great with wm5, but 6 is better.

Now for me, these 2 settings made a world of difference as far as quality goes:

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/Bitpool=60

HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Bluetooth/A2DP/Settings/MaxSupportedBitpool=35 (or greater)
[Galaxy S II General] galmok:
So my otherwise trusty I9100 decided that it wanted to sleep the eternal black sleep. Yesterday it locked up and I had to remove the battery. When powered on, it asked for the password for the encrypted storage (I do not have encrypted storage that I know of). I could only power off or reboot at that point. I chose shutdown and let the phone rest for a couple of minutes. Then I started it again and then it went into eternal boot loop. I powered off by holding the power button and when that seemed to fail, I removed the battery. I tried to enter the normal boot menu (running standard firmware 4.1.2). This failed. I tried to use the volume down+home+power button and that to my relief showed the warning about installing a custom os. I proceeded and Odin started on the phone. Great I thought. I can at least flash the phone and have a phone again. I downloaded the firmware and Odin 3.0.7 and proceeded to flash. Odin 3.0.7 could detect the phone and started sending the cache image preparing instructions to the phone. This took a long time and then it timed out. The phone still showed the Odin downloading screen. I tried to restart the software on the pc, but that failed right away. I tried to restart Odin on the phone, but the phone was now completely dead. Black screen forever.

For reference, I have flashed with Odin before (long time ago) and it worked as intended. Besides, I was following the troubleshooting guide presented here on this site for the S2 and right now, I can get zero signs of life from this phone.

Seeing as my friends S2 died after 2-3 years with black screen of death and my sisters S2 died with black screen of death, also after approx 2 years and now my phone after close to 3 years, I can only suspect that Samsung has made the phone to die this fast. I only know of 2 more persons that have such a phone and their phones are not so old yet. But I guess theirs will die after 2-3 years as well. :-/

So, it was interesting having a smartphone and I liked it, but now I am back on my trusty old Nokia i6110 (has run 11 years without issues and with original battery, still lasting 3-4 days per charge).

But I'd like a new smartphone, just not a Samsung. They have burned me enough. :(

Gotcha. My cycle just ended yesterday too. Would have been a good time to try. If it doesn't work, would the worst thing just be that I have no tethering til next month?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raptir:
Yeah, since your plan comes with 3GB (or 5GB, if you're on the $30 data feature) of tethering they're not going to bust you for tethering, they just cut you off when you hit the limit. And if you later get it working properly you'll get your tethering back. I forgot to change the setting once after flashing a ROM and got cut off, but as soon as I set it back tethering was working again.

You can also just install the MyAccount app so that you can check if it is counting as tethering usage as you go. Unfortunately the website doesn't list tethering usage, only the app.
