[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RoshS5:
Dear Experts,

I got a Galaxy S5 AT&T brought from US.

I'm using it in Sri Lanka where the 4G is available.

But this phone does not have the video calling facility and data sharing (Hotspot)

What can be done to make these options avail in the phone.

I paid a large amount to buy this and feeling very upset on not having some major functions:crying:

Please help guys.

Thank you
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CAG-man:
Depending on your opinions of the following services and apps.

Download from the Google Play Store.

Skype <--- For video calls

FoxFi <--- For WiFi hotspot. (AT&T blocked the download from the play store but the FoxFi add on is still available which provides a link to the download for FoxFi from their website)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] RoshS5:
Dear cag-man,

Thanks for your interest to help.

I downloaded foxfi and still the issue continues.

The error message is "NO MOBILE DATA AVAILABLE OR INVALID SIM"

I got Skype, but my service provider gives me free video calling minutes.

I cannot use this with Skype. That's why I need anew option to avail 3G video calling

Please help
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] CAG-man:
FoxFi should work. I have used the hotspot on mine using several different apps.

I really don't know much about unlocking a device. However, it appears the device you have needs to be unlocked so you can use your SIM in it. When I can do a search later I will see if I can find the thread on unlocking the phones.

Official fku or beta fku?

Nice! When I get to my nexus 9 later, I'll check it out. I've been running his kernel for awhile now and its awesome. Is there a newer version out now?

[Nexus 9 General] giant22000:
I think for now its just for the beta app.

I think you might already have seen it, but he released a r1. His statement sounded like there wasn't going to be a r2, but I asked him and he confirmed the release of a new revision. I think it might take some time though, since tablets aren't his main focus.

Yes, i am waiting for a franco kernel with theme engine support ^.^
[Nexus 9 General] Alexandroid99:
It will come, I've asked that, too. Eventually. I can wait. It's just a little bit naughty, every feature rich ROM has the theme engine

on board, which means every unpatched kernel renders the ROM unusable.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShagginShea:
Hi everyone,

I recently flashed Xdabbeb's VS982.5 ROM for my VS980, and now, while trying to flash any ROM, I get this error, E: Error updating execute binary, and the flashing process fails. I was able to flash from TWRP 2.8.1.2 to 2.8.5.1 to see if that would resolve my problem, but it did not.

It probably should be noted that before flashing VS982.5 I was able to flash any ROM and go about my business in that aspect (had TWRP 2.7.0.0 at the time).

Anyways, I would really love to flash crDroid, so any help would be greatly appreciated, I have no idea what to do.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] canatasever:
After some Googling, I have found that the error generally sourced from TWRP version.

Did you try flashing with an older version of TWRP?
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] iIsiDev:
Hey guys, first. Thank you for visiting the post and bring a little valuable knowledge.

I have a HTC ONE M7 VERIZON - currently ROOT with WeakSauce2

There is a way to get free S-OFF - other than SUNSHINE ...

android version 4.4.3 - attached screenshot so you can see the version of software.

Not possible in the current version, there is a way back to the factory system?

Thank You.​
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Only way to downgrade is to have s-off. For version 5.28.605.2 the only way to get unlocked and s-off is Sunshine, or pay for someone with a java card to s-off.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] 29y6145:
s off

Oh my god

I want s-off freeeeeee
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
And I want a free car, neither one is gonna happen. [emoji5]
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Nazo:
It is a bit ridiculous that they're taking advantage of the situation though. Verizon shouldn't be allowed to lock phones down so thoroughly that a phone model that specifically is supposed to be supported by the company's own official "developer program" is actually locked out as it is. These people are taking advantage of the fact that Verizon has done this to make quite a lot of cash. And if you have to get a different phone or something, you can't just "uninstall Sunshine" or something and reuse it. Nope. You get to buy it again. They don't even license it to one person, it's only licensed to one specific device. Simply put, they're taking advantage of everyone and getting away with it to make quite a lot of money on the process and everyone seems to be ok with that.

Now don't get me wrong here. I am not saying they shouldn't be allowed to make money. I'm sure they did a decent amount of work to find and utilize the new exploit(s) they are using and not sharing. To some extent, yeah, they should get money. Though I'm not convinced that donations alone wouldn't have been quite sufficient to more than cover their time and efforts with some small profit along the way (there are a lot of M7 users stuck with Verizon after all plus there can be advantages to Sunshine even when not on Verizon) I'll allow that they've a right to ask for money for this is general. My problem is the fact that they do that one device only for $25. That's a lot of money to run an exploit on a device one time and never again. A one user license for $25 would be a lot more fair and reasonable at least, but really I can't see why it shouldn't be more on the order of $5 or so anyway. Heck, let's say $10. But $25? They have us backed in a corner and they know it.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] michaelbsheldon:
But wait - - someone did a sh--load of work at the risk of nice phones to create an optional work-around to allow tinkerers to play with their phones.

Why shouldn't the guys who figured out what we can't figure out be paid ??????????
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Nazo:
I tried to get you preemptively on that. Read my edit. Sorry, it took a bit before I realized someone was going to think I was saying they shouldn't get paid at all. Simply put, I'm not against them profiting at all. I'm against the way they're taking advantage of people. I do stick to my statement that donations alone would have been sufficient though. There are a lot of people who would have been really grateful for the exploits if posted and would have donated if they asked nicely (and maybe even if they didn't ask...)
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:
"These people" don't give a crap about what you or what Verizon does.

There is no HTC or dev program that allows you to s-off your device.

Nobody is taking advantage of you, they are offering you a service.

Either accept their service and pay what they ask for it, or don't.

But please stop this self entitled attitude that gets us nowhere and causes the few exploits and devs that make them to disappear completely.

Don't like it? Buy yourself a Java card for a few hundred bucks, or an iPhone.

If folks like these guys didn't go through burning up devices for our benefit, you would have zero options.

If they depend on the general public to be generous with donations, when giving it away for free, they would be sadly disappointed, trust me on this one...it happens a lot less then you might imagine.

People nowadays are far too content to take whatever they can and if nobody makes them give back, they won't think twice about it.

So, I really suggest ending this now, as this won't end well for you and certainly won't change anything for the better.

Only effect it could possibly have is to jeopardize your xda membership, reputation, and potentially drive away the people who worked so hard on your only real available option for s-off.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Nazo:
See, this is what I don't get. People will defend this sort of thing fighting tooth and nail for them even to the point of flaming and insulting others. It's silly. Ultimately things like this being locked behind a pay wall hurts the community as a whole.

Uhm... What?

I'm guessing you misunderstood what I was saying? I'm specifically referring to the official HTC developer program by which one can enter and get an unlock token to officially unlock their HTC devices: http://www.htcdev.com/bootloader/

Verizon is the only one that chooses to disallow its users from doing this and I'm only saying that this creates the situation being discussed. If, for example, there were no service in which one could not unlock their device via the official program and the only point of Sunshine was to avoid going through all that and to make it possible to effectively warranty voiding checks, then that alone might be a valid reason for it to cost. (And I personally am ok with going through the official HTC program and losing warranty officially. That was never the issue for me.)

I think you didn't really understand what I was saying. Basically Verizon has created a situation where people have no choice but to use exploits when they shouldn't have to. This, in itself, is already a not OK situation, but there's not much we can do about it short of using a different service (and some of us need various things like a particular plan/area/whatever.) The people behind Sunshine found a new exploit that works on the latest stuff (and claim it's hardware and unpatchable.) Great. But, they don't release it to the public. They keep it locked away behind a pay wall (and I'm sure the exact workings of it are encrypted and etc so people can't just reverse engineer the software easily or something.) Not just a pay wall though. They charge quite a lot for a single device. Then they don't let a user use what they paid for again ever. Nope. You get to unlock one device and that's it. Hence "taking advantage." They know we're backed up against the wall.

Exactly. They know you have no choice. Your argument for them is actually against them.

Who said self-entitled? I didn't say they owe it to me or something. I said this is ultimately bad for the community and the community shouldn't be happy with it and that they shouldn't charge so much for it or limit it so much. This is more a business discussion if anything. They don't owe it to me or anything, but they are still taking advantage of the situation. Essentially, it's extortion.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] santod040:

Oh good, then you do understand.... :good: :p

Good luck to you.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
Before this exploit, there was firewater, moonshine, rumrunner for certain aged HTC devices, two worked on this phone. These were made by the same team that did Sunshine. They never got the income back via donations to pay for the countless bricked phones getting the exploit to work (yes, this type of exploit permanently damaged their test phones at $700 a pop.) This is why they had to resort to charging since the donations didn't make the lost money back.

Before the exploits worked on our phones, we HAD to pool money together and have a trusted member keep the java card, and pay him shipping and a fragment of the cost of the card. He made no money off this service either.

Do not sully and degrade and berate the payment wall. You bought a Verizon phone. A carrier who HATES their "customers" rooting their phones. Call Verizon support and say your phone is rooted and see their response. If you wanted an HTC phone that does work with htcdev, buy a different variant, or get the last Verizon model that did work, the Rezound.

Sunshine was made with the idea to s-off already rooted phones, unlocking Verizon variants is a side effect they don't put on the priority list. If it happens, it happens.

Edit: quick math for you. Let's say they had 20 failed attempts... For ONE device, if all 20 bricked the phone, that is $14000 $25 is reasonable given how many devices it works for and how much was spent to get it to work.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
Well I never heard any dev that locked their phones on failed attempts to find exploits. Doesn't that one dev that does the exploits work for HTC or Verizon and his job is to find these exploits? I guess I see nothing wrong with charging to get your phone unlocked and rooted. Maybe the price be a little less but I doubt he made a lot of money unlocking peoples phones. If you don't want to pay for having your phone unlocked then look at getting s nexus 6 off T-Mobile. Everything works on Verizon's network and you never have to worry about having a locked boot loader.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Uzephi:
No, beaups nor jacase work for Verizon. They frequent the blackhat convention. Most exploits they do they either sell to the bug bounty or give to the community depending on certain factors. They are not on either company's payroll.
[Verizon HTC One (M7)] Dark Jedi:
I could swear jcase worked for HTC from one of his older posts form years ago. Oh well guess I was wrong. Just glad I rooted my phone when I first got it before everyone had to start paying!

hello,

I am new to android. I by mistake wiped all data including system and what so ever. SD card was also not mounting so I put rom images in pendrive and tried to install it via OTG it was showing some error "/system and ... are not found or someting". So I again restarted, but it is not starting up. Also recovery is not staring. I tried to flash recovery again it is showing " MISMATCHED partition size (recovery)" Can anybody tell me what to do !!!!!!!!!!!!

:crying:
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:
The mismatched partition size error is not necessarily bad. The custom recovery file size is not the same size as the stock recovery which gives you the error message. The message doesn't mean the custom recovery won't work.
[Moto G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hrishi28:

[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboya:
You can set it to follow a time and date you set, or that sent from the carrier. I guess you're on the latter, and the lack of carrier updates prevent it from continuing. Try the former and let us all know.

This phone is getting dumber.

Moto Voice no longer works.

When the alarm goes off I have to wave my hand over it so much that I may as well get up rather than have that extra snooze and when it does eventually go into snooze mode and my arm is worn out from waving the screen stays on for 5 of the 10 minutes.

Time for something new and less annoying. Any suggestions? I like the look of the LG V10, but it doesn't appear to be available in the UK through official channels, only iffy looking resellers...
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TopazUser1:
Try doing a factory reset and start fresh. That usually fixes random annoyances that you explained.
[X 2014 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simonali68:
That'll be a lot of hassle only to find out it still doesn't work, as I suspect will be the case. You only have to look at the Play Store reviews for Moto voice to see that various updates have made it unusable for a lot of owners. Mine just doesn't listen to what I'm saying and just says "Let's talk later" all the time. Can't really see it doing much for the phone not snoozing and leaving the screen on after the alarm goes off either. I know the sensors are fine, as the time is displayed if I wave my hand over it at any other time...

I just think Motorola have made various poor updates to this phone and I think I'll just put it out to pasture and get myself a new toy.

Hi!

So after doing a software update (the one that pops up in the notification drawer), my phone won't boot. I could load up or get the classic "Secure booting error", but that was it. Now, I can't even do that. If I hold down volume up and volume down while connecting the USB cable, the phone will go into download mode and reboot after a second or two to the "Secure booting error" which will start in turn reboot after a few seconds to the same screen causing a loop.

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TaintedSpuds:
Hi. I'm having an issue with my Verizon S5 where the screen turns on randomly, sometimes a few times a minute, for no apparent reason. Researching the issue, I found a lot of people said the reason they found was that the charge port was bent slightly and after bending it back it fixed the issue. They noticed the screen would behave when it was plugged in because all the connections were forced into their proper places by the charger. However, mine turns on and off regardless of whether or not it is plugged in. I downloaded Wakelock Detector to try to see if there were any apps forcing my screen to wake up but it only listed a couple apps and processes and, combined, they didn't come anywhere near the number of times my screen was woken up. Interestingly, the same day I noticed this problem, my home button also stopped working. It will not turn on the screen when off and it will not bring me to the home screen when the screen is on. I thought maybe it was occasionally functioning, causing my screen to turn on. However, I have never experienced the opposite issue; I have never been using my phone with the screen on and had it suddenly bring me to the home screen. Also, oddly my screen does not have this issue when I am playing music either through the speaker or via bluetooth. If I have music playing, the screen never turns on randomly. If I pause my music, the issue returns and my screen turns on randomly unless I resume my music.

The fact that it doesn't do it while playing music (either over bluetooth or through the speaker) means it must be a software issue rather than a hardware issue. The fact that my home button stopped working at the same time seems to make it seem like a hardware issue but maybe my home button not functioning and my screen turning on and off randomly are both part of the same software issue? I have attached a screenshot of my current version of Android and other details.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Generally, I'd recommend a factory reset just to make sure whether it is or not a software issue.

If the issue is not solved, return the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TaintedSpuds:
Solution Found

I was able to fix the problem so I thought I might as well share. I replaced the circuit board that goes under the home button (cost about 10 bucks lol). This is not the home button and cable itself. If you disassemble the S5 to the point where you can see the motherboard, the circuit board at the bottom with the charge port, capacitive buttons, and home button contact is the one I replaced. Hope this helps others with similar issues get working in the right direction. Be very careful disassembling your S5 if you decide to try this route.
