My screen on my unrooted SGS4 is totally black after a glasschange that an idiot was supposed to make for me.

He failed. But the phone isnt dead !

The buttons is lit when I press Home or Power button, and the lightdiode is blinking blue as if I gave a message waiting.

If I connect it to a PC I can see the phone in Explorer, but when I click on it its emty...nothing to see.

I purchased a mhl-adapter that they said could show the screen on a TV using HDMI, but I get NO picture ... :(

I tried ADB 1.031 myself but seems it cant connect.

This is all I get...

Bad news for some of us. If you have the unlimited 4g Lte plan. You will be throttled if you use it for p2p sharing. Like utorrent or other torrent apps. Really Pisses me off. Why do I pay over $100 a month? I think I am being throttled already. My service has been on Edge for like 2 days. should be able to use the data for what ever I want. What do you guys think?

I have to say i'm on your side with this one.

Why would i pay the extra money for unlimited data if i'm not going to use it for what I want it for? Luckily, i'm grandfathered into an older plan where this doesn't cover so hopefully i won't be throttled.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ThaDarkside79:
Says old grandfather plan will also be throttled. Read the article!

Killing Aliens with my S5!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] Chuki82:
When you get throttled they don't drop you off lte onto edge. You will still be on lte it's just slow. Usually around 128k is my experience.

I don't quite agree with it. You buy a car your free to do with it what you want. What about people who abuse unlimited messages? Do they get throttled?

If you read the fine print you agreed to when you signed up though, I'm sure something about p2p is in there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] ThaDarkside79:
A Car and unlimited data is completely different. Lol it says unlimited so that's what I should get. Slowing down is one thing but they slow it down so much that Web pages and games won't even work. Bs

Killing Aliens with my S5!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Lol. Your linked article says nothing about grandfathered plans. The article i read says nothing about them either. Only states users who have the 70 and 80 dollar Simple plan are getting throttled due to an update in the Terms and Conditions those users signed as per their contract.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] gregorina:
how can they detect if you're using p2p? or are they going to look at those that have 100's of gb's of data usage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stangdriver44:
I think that is is such BS! I was just kicked off is Sprint's "unlimited data plan" for the same thing. I was completely kicked from the carrier after 10 YRS of loyal service. I have had Tmo for a month now was glad I made the switch! "Was" being the key word! Sprint data speeds like driving backwards on the autobahn in comparison! I there a way to go download in some sort of stealth mode? I would be so sad the go slow again....

It's called VPN.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] omgbossis21:
Most likely their looking at the trackers your using, same way ISP's are now blocking sites like piratebay and others. Just use a torrent site that offers a Secure SSL tracker connection like IPTorrents (though you have to be VIP) and you should be just fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spirodave:
I can see how this sucks for a lot of users that use their phone for most of their internet service . I decided to switch to the $50 1GB plan and just get Charter internet for my home and its only $30 a month and its a 100 Mbps connection . I just do my P2P from my home internet . I had a feeling this was coming too . T-Mobile struck out with this one . Someone will come up with a work around . VPN should suffice

Good. Mobile data shouldn't be abused like that. Be responsible. Don't you have internet at home for that? P2P over mobile is just greedy and irresponsible.

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:43 PM ----------

Anyone who has hundreds of GB of data usage on LTE is completely abusing it and should be dropped altogether. Come on... Use some common sense. If everyone did that, they'd have to charge us a couple thousand bucks a month each, and I don't want to pay for your software pirating over mobile.

---------- Post added at 12:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:47 PM ----------

How much data do you use in a month?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] stangdriver44:
I'm not sure what would be considered abuse, but I was using around 15-20 gb/month. Some p2p and a good amount of stuff from here on XDA. Doesn't seem like that much when i read about other people's usage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] DevilDaHusky:
They track p2p usage probably using Sandvine. This was a big controversy a while back with Comcast throttling Bittorent users.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] omgbossis21:
I am a member of iptorrents though torrentleech also uses SSL. I cant really go giving out invites as you only get a certain amount and their really tough to come by, I think I have 2 or left total.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
Simply put, why should I pay for unlimited data if I can't use it and am being told how I can use it? Your boss doesn't tell you how to use your money do they? Therefore the company I am dishing out MY hard earned money for should not tell me how to use what I paid for. Period.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] luigi90210:
so people who torrent pirate all of a sudden?

FYI i use p2p for XDA downloads when available, dont assume everyone who uses p2p pirates...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mhannigan:
NO! You totally misunderstood me! I didn't say it was "all of a sudden" - people have used p2p sharing for pirating for a long time.

And yes, with very few exceptions, people use p2p to share copyrighted material. It serves no other purpose from the perspective of the user - it is much slower, less reliable, less secure, and more resource intensive than simply clicking on a direct download link. Let's not be naive here if you use P2P, you have used it to download copyrighted material illegally, and in MOST cases, it is the only reason you use it.

Nobody in their right mind would use bittorrent to download files they could download a different way.

---------- Post added at 04:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:32 AM ----------

OR... If you are going to be pirating software and movies, have a LITTLE respect and do it from home where bandwidth is plentiful. You won't affect people so.much if you download terabytes of pirated stuff from home vs on a mobile network.

I can't even imagine that people think it is OK to do. I pay as much for my service as you pay for yours and I'll be damned If I'm going to have problems checking on my clients over mobile internet because you're across the parking lot behind a dumpster smoking a joint while you download a bootlegged version of Transformers 4. Have some class/respect. Don't forget, the people you are complaining to are the people you are screwing. Some of them are just too dumbbto realize it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] luigi90210:
I use it to download large ROM files that would otherwise take several hours if downloaded off a server, unlike P2P where I pull 4MB/s down and can download a 1.7gb file in 20mins, or better yet I can download a full windows disk(so I can use legally with my license keys) in a matter of minutes when I am away from the office.

You clearly haven't used torrents for anything other then downloading music and other small files because literally downloading huge files is where P2P has advantages over conventional download methods. The only time I would use a server to download from over a P2P connection was when I worked as a server admin and I was on my companies technet account, and that's only because Microsoft had amazing download speeds.

I'm not disagreeing with you about it being unsecured, it is, that's a fact but most competent end users are capable enough to have some security on their computer and with newer software, the risk of getting a virus or a hacker are very slim. You literally have to try to get a virus now a days.

Edit

You really go on about piracy a lot. Accusing users of doing it when you don't even know them. So logically you either pirate yourself or you have pirated material before in the past and got caught.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] mhannigan:
I have 100mbit down and up at home. I can download my Microsoft media from the only legal place allowed by Microsoft - Digital River - where I can pull down a 1.7GB file in 20 SECONDS.

There is NO legal method for downloading Microsoft Media over P2P. If you don't think its illegal to download copies of ms disks from random people, call and ask.

And yes, I do know torrents. I run a couple of tracker sites, in fact. I have downloaded 50k file sizes and I have downloaded files over 100GB. I am a network engineer. There is absolutely nothing at all that is technically efficient about bittorrent. There simply isn't. It serves a purpose, but it certainly isn't fast reliable downloads. It serves two actually... If you live in a developing country with an extremely unstable connection, you could benefit from it. And I'm talking places where downloads would take a back seat to protecting yourself from malaria and dinghi fever, and pirating. Those are the two cases it makes sense. If you are using it for other things, then you need to learn how to be more efficient and less of a burden on the infrastructure you share with me. Its called be responsible. We aren't kids... Kids want as much as they can get of something period. If they can't get it, they scream. Why? Because they want it period. As adults, we understand consequences and how the things we do are right or wrong. For the most part, we KNOW when we are "getting away" with something. We know when we might be using resources unfairly and taking from others.

What you do with that information is what we refer to as "character". Try having some. It looks and feels pretty good.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] bubblebuddyi:
Good... Share the bandwidth.. Maybe now I can actually use LTE instead of getting timed out all the time. You guys don't know the actual impact you're making on other users when constantly running P2P on LTE.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
"Getting timed out" you say.. you obviously have no idea how networking works. The bandwidth is already shared. If I pay for unlimited internet, then I will use it how I seem fit. Not you nor T-Mobile will tell me how to use it. T-Mobile is just butt hurt because people are using large amounts of data. Whether or not I use it for downloading anything, it shouldn't matter what method of downloading I use. This is seriously bull****. I hope it doesn't happen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] bubblebuddyi:
Okay, simple solution. Switch carriers then. Oh wait, all the other carriers throttle you NO MATTER WHAT you download with, whether its P2P or Spotify. So get over it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] elesbb:
This proves my point exactly! Thank you so much. :)

Why would T-Mobile offer an unlimited plan just to make it throttled like all their other plans? If a user wants capped data then they can use another plan or switch carriers. I went with T-Mobile because of their unlimited data. And how do you propose i "get over it" when they are going against their unlimited data plan promise? It is all data no matter how it is used. I can easily generate as much data traffic and data capacity using regular HTTP servers for downloads. Its all the same thing. Data is data. I do not understand how they can offer an unlimited data plan while still limiting what users can do with it only to prevent a lot of data use. Its bull****, unethical, and flat out wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] bubblebuddyi:
Stop whining. Drop them as a carrier if it bothers you so much. Simple.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] luigi90210:
good for you, i dont have that kind of internet speed at my home so 4MB/s is the fastest ill ever see off my 14Mb/s internet plan and FYI you can download software from anywhere, microsoft doesnt have to distribute it, as long as you buy a license key for said copy and you dont crack it so you can illegally use it, or already have a license key, you have done nothing wrong because you own said software

just because microsoft says its wrong and illegal, doesnt make it illegal, i can legally sell my license keys to other people, if you ask microsoft they will tell you im wrong and my license key is fake and you are not buying genuine software and to instead buy through them to be safe when that isnt the case at all

and if you are saying i dont have character because i support P2P networks because they provide faster downloads for me in a lot of cases, you need to take a hard look at yourself, if anyone needs to rethink their character its you who is acting like a child and calling people who use p2p networks no good pirates and druggies(in reference to your weed comment)

I use torrents/p2p as well like most of us here. Yeah it's going to slow my downloads a bit by VPN but shoot...That's what I'm going to have to do when I'm "sharing" ?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] tp2215:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] flarbear:
The math is a bit off there by a factor of "bits vs bytes". Perhaps 160 seconds?

So anyone getting throttled yet or just got the warning? I'm at 65GB for the month and nothing yet. Still getting awesome speeds.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] spirodave:
Yeah you need to multiple the 1.7GB by 8. So 1700 times 8 = 13,600 then divide that by 100. Equals 136 seconds. I have a 100Mb connection at home too.

---------- Post added at 08:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 PM ----------

Probably closer to 160 seconds in reality. In theory 136 seconds. So many people get that confused. 100Megabit connection is equal to a little over 12 Megabyte. Bit is for data transfer and byte is for file size. Jesus just think what 100Megabyte connection would be like.?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] LordLugard:
Jeebus...65GB.!!! How do you even get that high? I approach 2GB and my bung hole starts twitching with trepidation (and I have unlimited data BTW).

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 5] kiddecks:
old

they "started" doing this after it became popular to do this on G1, its effect can be felt on wifi calling as well. if you still have minutes, but you are out of range of a cell tower, yet providing your own Internet, their throttling limits the quality of calls. Then they try to upsell you more unlimited bandwidth. Redefining the word "unlimited". Sucks.

Sure, I download movies, music and software, no F****s.... I am somewhere between 10-30gb a month which includes HotSpot for my GF which has no Verizon coverage where I have LTE T-Mobile, weird right?

Anyway, I use Torrent to download ROMs directly to my phone because T-Mobile is 30-40mb down in my area, why should I be stuck at home then copy to my phone? That's kinda old school, why have a smartphone then? PLUS, if I click direct link and get the file half the time, it will fail with a loss of signal or phone call etc etc. Torrent will pause and then continue whenever you'd like... If you don't know this and are ranting then you are arguing over something you don't even use, leave the thread if you have nothing knowledgeable to add..

All that said, I'm at 23GB so far with no loss of speed - check it at #932#

Hey Guys,

I think I bricked the device, all help would be appreciated. I have the Geniatech atv310B (M3). I was flashing with the XDA developers gotham build. I copied all of the files to the SD card and placed it into my receiver. Then, I hit the reset button and plugged it into the power. However, My hand slipped and I accidentally let go of the reset button. Thinking that I had not not started the flash process correctly, I took it off power to do it again(I SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE THAT). Now, it won't turn on. It has not responded to some of the solutions of using a bootable SD card or placing certain files on the SD card and rebooting it while holding the reset button.

Does anyone have any possible solutions?

Well, I suggest to use NanDroid Backup to backup everything to SDCard. Nandroid also backup android settings/ apps, so I suggest do this backup only if you're going use same Android version as you currently on.

Otherwise I sugg you to do only User's Apps/Data/settings backup.
