[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MohamedYousri:
Dears ,

I would like to confirm the following as i really really thinking in purchase the device once i can put my hand on it

Will this work without any problems :

SIM 1 Will be used for Calls and Data as it's the work SIM with Calls & Data Plans

SIM 2 Will be used for Calls only

Will enabling the Data at SIM affect reviving the calls to SIM 2 ?!

Also after trying the device for a while , do you still recommend buying it ?! or there is a better Dual SIM flagship shall i consider ?!

Thanks for your time
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zbisz41:

QI Charging.

I bought a Qi Charging Pad (EP-P100I) and the inductive backcover. The phone does not stop charging at all. Even when it is on 100% the charging LEd on the charging pad remains green and the batteyry temperature remains at 37°C for hours.

I have a cheap second charging pad. There it is the same.

On the Nexus 5 both chraging pad stop charging the phone when full.

Does anyone else Charge the S5 G900FD by QI? What is going wrong? My backcover? The phone, or do I need to wait for lollipop? Is there any communication between the pad and the phone?

Thank you for your answer. Well, my phone does charge, too.

Does your QI pad indicate that it is off or in conservation mode when the phone is full? Mine is always green -> charging. On my Nexus 5 the Samsung Pad stops charging when the phone is full. I think something doesn't switch or communicate on my phone.

Hi!

You need the F6 Kernel. You can read back a bit and you will find how to do it. Actually you just have to download the ....ANF6 ROM and flash the boot.img, then use TowelROOT and then flash the F7 back.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the dreamer:

If i flashed nf7 rom after nf6 rom the root will be removed as i know?

What if i updated my device by ota, can i instal nf6 kernal after that towelroot but how can i install the latest kernal for my device?

Can updat by ota after this root or not and when 5.0 rom come how can i nstall it without losing towrlroot?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H377:
What I did:

Downloaded the NJ2 complete firmware and flashed it to my device. - the whole FW.

After this I downloaded the NF6 ROM and flashed ONLY the boot.img from this package to my device then I installed the TowelRoot.apk and ran it.

Then re-flashed the NJ2 boot.img from the previously downloaded NJ2 ROM. FBE sur eto flash only the boot.img!! Not the whole firmware!!!

So now I have the latest ROM with root. That's it

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] H377:
If you update via OTA then you will have a long way. :) NF6-->NF7->....-->NJ2 ANd a clean install is always better in mí opiniion then an OTA update. :)

Download the NF6 and NJ2 complete ROMs from here:

http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/

Flash the NJ2 vi ODIN put the package to the AP field.

Then after flash press the Vol UP + HOME + Power to go to recovery immediately after flash. It will reboot the phone automatically. Then immediately go to recovery again and do a full wipe. After the first boot and setup I also recommend a full wipe in recovery since by that time the device is already set the CSC.

When this is done just extract the boot.img file from the NF6 ROM you have just downloaded from the above link. Then make a tar/rar file of the boot.img and flash it via Odin by putting it to the AP.

Then run the towelroot.

Then extract the boot.img from NJ2 as described above for the NF6 and flash it via Odin woth the same method.

This should be all.

G900FD

I have a G900FD that can't get 4G LTE on AT&T in the US. I am led to believe that it is due to the fact that AT&T uses different bands than the 900FD is set up for. My two options are to return the phone as it is useless here in the States to me in is current state or root it and try to change the accessible bands to one that AT&T uses.

Has anyone experienced this and can the bands be changed to an AT&T accessible band. I assume that if I root the phone it will not be returnable. I'd like some assurance that rooting it will work before I make it unreturnable and useless..
