Help do you guys think I should root right away?.. Or should I wait a bit?..
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keitht:
I waited because everything was so new but it looks like most kinks have been worked out. Just beware some people are reporting issues with the fingerprint reader and Google Wallet after flashing. Note I said some. I don't think it is clear why some have issues with the fingerprint scanner after flash. One theory is that if you do not set it up before you flash a ROM it will not work after flash. There are threads on this topic you may want to monitor.

I would take the time to read through some of the ROM threads to get an idea on what to expect and absorb all the information then flash when ready if you are comfortable.

EDIT: Sorry you said root not ROM flash. Sorry. Root is pretty harmless except you trip the Knox counter. More about that in the root thread. Just make sure you are comfortable with that and you should be good.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egren58:
Yes I've seen 2 threads about the finger print. I also could no make up the issue. I think I will hold on a bit and use the phone just to make sure no problems are present before I decide and void the warranty by root. That way if I need to return it for factory defect, it shouldn't conflict. I will definetly keep my eyes on the forums.
[T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThC23:
I would wait until your return window expires in case you run into an issue.

Custom Rom

Hi!!

I think the community for this Device grows steady, but noone will support the Device without our Hero AndroidGX!!!!! I also waiting for an CM Port. I ask in a few Threads but the result is almost the same..........NO Answer. There are also unanswered Question in the Cyanogenmod Forum...not good :(.

The most of us, me included, have idea how many work Developing is. And i have on Top no idea how to build a Rom. The Problem with the different hardware is a bigger Problem, seems so.

Is it possible to flash a KLTE Version with a G901F Kernel? Or are there more things to change. Nothing different instead of the Snapdragon805, or??

So.............more waiting and hoping for a Lollipop Firmware. Maybe a new Year gift from Sammy :good::D

If you have more luck by asking a Dev.....:good::good::good:

All the best
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrcol:
I think the biggest issue is custom kernel and a aroma recovery, one rom is ok but stock kernel not.

I offered £50 to a dev fund for someone to do a kernel.

I would think they can follow the same procedure done for 900f kernel except just use the 901f stock kernel as base instead of 900f stock as base.

I wouldnt put on a 900f kernel, its a different chipset in the phone.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teichy1:
Indeed...a 900f Kernel will not work of course. I dont understand that all the Cool kernel devs and recovery devs will not help out. I think the kernel is the same as in the note 4. I think the kernel source is also available. And there will defenitly guys which will help testing. Good old kerneldevs like DamionGTO are missing. Brilliant Guy

I've been rooting/customising my original Samsung Galaxy S (GT-i9000) for the past several years and finally decided to upgrade. Wish I'd known beforehand that the model I was getting doesn't have any ROMs around for it :(

I obviously rooted it within a couple of hours of getting it but I really want to be able to put something like AOSP or Cyanogenmod on it and it's just so frustrating that there's nothing out there.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrcol:
Also ordered some accessories including a docking bay, knowing my luck they wont fit the 901F :( Would be rubbing it in if S5 G900F accessories dont work.

I ordered a gel based cover (same type as have for my S3)

it feels slightly too small for phone as I cannot get all sides of the cover up properly. Since I have no 900F, I dont know if this is due to the 901F been slightly bigger or bad manufacturing of the cover (as I guess they made very cheaply).

A dock I purchased however seems fine as well as a spare battery I got. The dock is missold tho, they went to all the trouble of using usb3 connectors to mislead people yet the dock is only working as usb2.

Then I sent them pics of the box, gsmarena specs etc. and proved they lied on their website, as well as broken s5 apps.

They then offered me a refund, which I said I will consider but asked them why dont they get off their butts and ask samsung about the lack of software support. I then heard nothing back, so I emailed Olaf, (see here http://ee.co.uk/our-company/about-ee/leadership-team).

He has now promised me samsung will be contacted and EE will work with them on a new rom to fix issues.

for time being, while we are happy/unhappy owners of that phone waiting for an aosp rom you can root it, then install xposed installer and it will give you some of the features that you can get in custom rom.

[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ReproOne:
Over the past month it appears that Band 26 LTE has been activated in my area, which is causing my previously stable LTE (previously Band 25 only) to drop to cycle between 3G and Band 26 LTE about twice a minute.

I can access the ##DATA# and disable Band 26 which allows it to remain on a stable Band 25 LTE connection.

However, I noticed today that if I access *#*#4636#*#*, go to Phone Information, then press the three dots on the top right and then "Select radio band", I can then press on USA BAND, Cellular (800-Mhz Band), PCS (1900-MHz Band) and then Secondary 800-Mhz Band. Once I do that and exit those options, my phone then keeps a LTE connection...even a better connection than normal and it even stays on Band 26.

If I restart the phone, the symptoms come back unless I go back to that 4636 menu and perform those steps. Any ideas?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] reinaldistic:
The *#*#4636#*#* option you're messing with is for phone access (3g) so you're effectively disabling 3g to get connection also, try disabling band 41 instead, sprint reps were saying it caused most of our problems when spark was breaking phones

Also try calling sprint and make it so you get 3rd level tech support (which will take you out of india and back to the states) they tend to know their job better
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ReproOne:
I did just discover that disabling Band 41 (in this area I do not have Band 41, just 25 & 26) hashas allowed my phone to cycle between band 26 and 25 without issue. I then, with the recent update to the M8 you can also change the band priority, changed priority to 26 then 25 (was 25 to 26). That seems to have helped it remain at even a band 25 connection longer when the signal is weaker.

Thank you for the reply. Do you know what is up with Band 41?
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] reinaldistic:
If that worked and you are able to set priorities then your towers are telling your phone that there IS band 41... my area doesnt have band 41 as it still has wimax enabled and the band priority option is unusable to me, it just says "unable to set priority with only 2 bands enabled", even though I havent disabled any bands it knows there is no 41 here...

This was a huge deal before the 1.10.xxx update are you still on 1.8.xxx? If so that might be the issue, if not call sprint, have them fix it
[Sprint HTC One (M8)] ReproOne:
I updated to the version released this week (3.30.651.2) , which also gave me the option to set band priority.

It seems that perhaps a recent PRL update turned on Band 41, thus the issue started. The recent PRL update again turned Band 41 on, which I disabled to restore LTE stability.

Redownload your firmware, the latest one. And try again..

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeepankarS:
Well anyhow if you do an OTA update, you will have to reset as it causes a lot many battery drain and optimization issues with random force closes.

And yes it is safe.

NON ROOT BACKUP METHODS

If you want to backup everything..there are many apps to do that..even whatsapp texts.

Whatsapp backup is nothing..just do a backup from the whatsapp messenger..

then go to myfiles->sdcard->whatsapp->databases. The backup gets stored there. Copy that folder in you extsdcard.

And rest there are many apps on the play store to backup text messages and contacts. Example easy backup.

For contacts press the option button->import/export->export to sd card and it will make contacts_x.vcf backup there.

For images in the internal memory, download quick picture backup by linever corp. And in the extsdcard you shall see a folder named linever and it will have all your photos that were in the internal memory.

Rest what? Game data? Download helium from the playstore and it backups all the game data.

Game Apk? Download Apk extract and save them all to sd card.

And? If I may know any specific?

And if youre already rooted..forget all this..TITANIUM BACKUP.

And it is not necessary that you choose the UK rom. You can flash any, except the ones which have a carrier written nect to them.

Example : Download Brazil instead of Brazil(Xyz)

If it doesn't do anything on the charger, it's probably fried. If it's been less than a year (send it to Samsung) since you bought the phone or are under warranty I would go that route.
