AT&T as expected still disabled Dropbox support for the stock file manager and gallery app and kept Samsung account cloud syncing disabled as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] _LEM_:
Thanks a lot for the responses, guys. I updated yesterday and everything looks good so far.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] gitardan17:
Still fiddling to get apps to sd (ext sd) AND work a few min. later. Somehow Unfortunately... has stopped toast pops up after move to sd attempt. Then unable to move back after.

I'm on rooted s5 active (5.0 & NOT 5.0.1 or 5.0.2). An xposed module worked before (like a month & a half to 2 months ago). But....

Any help greatly apreciated. And yes I'll hit the thanks button too. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] slicetwo:
I was under the impression that RAW didn't actually work as RAW. Is that incorrect?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cmerlyn:
​

Yeah, it's a bit weird. Some of the camera apps save RAW format as a PNG, which is not the same. It is uncompressed, but still not the same as a DNG file, which is what RAW is supposed to use. I am not sure if there are any camera apps that use DNG. On the other hand, if you are not that fussy, the PNG files are pretty nice to work with.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] slicetwo:
Awesome! So they're still the same quality as RAW? That's all I really care about. What apps would you recommend for capturing PNG/RAW images?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cmerlyn:
I've been using Camera++ with good results. Note that there seem to be two camera apps called Camera++, I think the one I used has been pulled, I can't find it in the Play Store. You might try MI2RAW camera, it actually saves in DNG. Edit: that one isn't compatible. Camera FV-5 is, but it isn't free. Let me know if you find a good one.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] slicetwo:
I read that fv-5 said it wasn't compatible with the s5 when I was initially researching this. Hmm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] darthmalus:
I also have enjoyed 5.0 battery life is better, phone feels more responsive than before, i just do not like that I cannot have a swipe + pin for my lock screen like I used to on kitkat.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Killer Okain:
It'd be nice to have an option for vibrate notifications during calls, i.e. for incoming texts, emails, call waiting. This existed in the previous iterations of touchwiz but disappeared with lollipop. Lame. Speaking of call waiting it seems to notify late. Seems I get a tone, look at the phone, and then it's suddenly a missed call. When I try to turn call waiting on or off in the "more" tab of call settings it is grayed out.

Other than that it's decent. Battery life is good. It's fairly smooth.

There does seem to be some issues with in call notifications in general however. Sometimes I'll get no notifications during a call, then a rash of them upon ending the call.

Overall not terrible, not great. Doesn't feel like a truly finished product to me however.

This is 5.0 on a G870A
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] daved31415:
I've never felt like an update was a truly finished product. Maybe I haven't owned the right phones or used the right carriers in the past. I look at the update roll-out as part of the finishing process itself.

Has anyone had an issue with missed calls and missed text messages not being displayed at the icons on the screen that is shown after unlocking (the 'home' one) ?

I'm also seeing quite a few dropped calls (about once per hour if talking on the phone the entire time).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Killer Okain:
Here's another complaint... Why did they uncouple 'ringtone' and 'notification' in the sound menu, and not give an option to couple them? So now when I select a low volume using the volume key, incoming texts are still on full blast until I go in and manually lower the notification volume as well. This is ridiculous. Why do they break things that previously worked well? These touchwiz devs need to take some lessons from the CM team.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cmerlyn:
I have been using an app called Audio Volume Mixer. It lets you set each volume independently, plus has settings for silent mode and vibrate only. Works very well for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cybershawngates:
on our att S5 lollipop - has anyone noticed sometimes app will crash with the notification about the crash stuck, only option is to battery pull - not sure what you'd have to do if you have a s6? is there a reset pinhole on that phone? under developer mode I moved the 3 transitions to 0.5 to make it snappier.

Update: my lag ended up being an issue with nova launcher I updated to the latest version and the phone is much faster
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] C0derbear:
Mine got ota / clean wipe / restore within days since available, and I can say has not yet had an app crash, much less an app-crash-notification-lockup.

I'm jinxing myself by saying that though, i'll probably brick in 3, 2, 1 ....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] wamsille:
I finally managed to get a replacement Galaxy S5 through AT&T. It came with 4.4.2 installed and I let it upgrade all the way to 5.0. My options with this device are pretty limited - essentially like it the way it is or leave it - but so far this phone is performing leaps and bounds better than the first S5 I was given in a trade two weeks ago. The phone is responsive, doesn't constantly force close. Just all around good stuff to report.

Now I just need a sold case for this phone so I keep it looking good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Swimguy14:
Actually, the lollipop update has absolutely nothing different from kit Kat in regard to the functioning/features/ability of the camera.

The camera2 api that Google made for lollipop is not automatically included in any lollipop rom; it is up to a device's manufacturer to implement the new api into whichever devices firmware.

No surprise that the s6 features camera2 api, but Samsung didn't care to include it in the s5 lollipop update. Maybe they will later on.

That said, the s5 has been capable from day 1 of capturing photos with .png compression. That app you mention (camera fv5) is the only app I know of that can save in png.

Unrelated: (It worked on my galaxy s3 too.)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] slicetwo:
So wait, does the PNG actually come out less compressed and better than the JPEG?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Swimguy14:
Well the file size is about double for a png vs capturing the same scene &saving as jpeg (best quality) .

However the developer of snap camera claimed that he doesn't believe straight up png encoding is possible, he said he thinks camera fv5 captures the frame as jpeg and then transcode it to png.

I don't know what kind of stuff could be done to find out whether or not that's true.

If you want, read for yourself the snap camera app thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] feden84:
Hi Lem! How did you update from 4.4.2? I can't do it ota because I'm not using at&t. Tks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] slicetwo:
Well, I just did a non-scientific test where I took the same exact picture with the stock camera and with FV5 in PNG format. Zoomed in a lot on my computer to see differences. They look exactly the same.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] _LEM_:

I need to update from stock 4.4.2 to lolipop... Anyone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cpilant23:
Try muniz method, upgrading to 5.0 and keep root. Im on metro pcs and it worked
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] slicetwo:
Besides the horrid lock screen notifications, Lollipop is treating me fantastically.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] SoCalHTCFuze:
Running Muniz_ri's method to keep root from 4.x as an early adopter, flashed tether mod, and froze unwanted bloatware including nag screens to remove them from view. Best rom to date, not a single force close, everything works flawlessly, excellent battery, music, bluetooth, gps, all perfect! Best possible experience!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] lathamc:
Does anyone else have any problems with the update? When I did the OTA update, I did a factory reset as well. The update worked great for about a week or two. However, since then I've had issues with the following:

-Apps crash a lot.

-Camera is EXTREMELY slow to respond. I usually have to wait 30 seconds before I can take a picture.

-When I slide the green button to answer a call, it hangs up half the time.

-Many apps are unresponsive. In addition, many apps are extremely slow. Google Maps is one of the worst culprits.

-Battery life if awful. I used to end the day with 50% battery left. Now, I have to charge my phone 2 or 3 times a day, as the battery is around 20% by 2pm (when sitting idle in a good coverage area for most of the time).

Is anyone else having these issues? Surely, I'm not the only one...

Btw, I'm stock and unrooted.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] darthmalus:
it could be because you're stock and unrooted, also it is probably some bloat ware bogging your phone down. im stock and rooted and have disabled all my bloat and my battery is good, right now im on 1 day 3hours 56 minutes of battery and have 49% remaining.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] cybershawngates:
Use the battery app in settings and find what's chewing ur battery. Try speeding up window transitions and animations in developer options normally a hidden menu so you'll need to Google it. Theres 3 settings to change and that'll make it seem very snappy. Finally a slow or corrupt sd card causes all sorts of slow downs....reformatting the sd can do wonders I've found
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] adam_ky:
It's cap and I hate my self a little more every minute for taking the ota.

ugly colors.... bubbly like something a preteen girl would be into...

I despise the new pemissions for the sd card

most of all I hate the fact that I now have a locked bootloader :(

Don't like how u can't easily change to silent or vibrate.

hate that my volume rocker has the default to change ring vol unless sound is playing

I personally think kitKat is overall superior and a better os.

They have taken away more control from the user and made the os more like apple.

The only way I'd be able to be happy with lolipop is if it was heavily modified... an os should not have to be heavily modified to be usable

Don't update

Its pretty much a fact that lolipop launch has been a failure. Most despise it after using it. Currently it's only being used on a small % of android devices.

Kitkat was a step up from jb... lolipop is 3 steps back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Skv012a:
Did the pre-rooted 5.0 method, removed some bloat, set things up - it heats up like crazy while charging with wifi on unless I put it into saver mode....... Any suggestions? Not a fan of freezing bloat when I can just completely remove it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Tref:
I've noticed that if you pull down the menu from the top the phone will go off after a few seconds regardless of what you are doing in it, unless you actually go into settings.

Also, there doesn't seem to be a shortcut to data any longer.

And the data widget I had stopped working on 5.0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Tref:
I just realized that the "Usage Manager" app that is found in the app drawer offers a quicker way into Data Manager for the purpose of turning data on and off, than going through settings. It also has a couple of other useful tabs for App and Memory usage. So while it is not a toggle, it is a bit quicker than going into Settings and then Data Usage to get to the Data switches.

Now if I could just figure out why the screen blacks out a few seconds after swiping down to get to the other toggles....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] adam_ky:
There needs to just be a toggle option.. while I know this is more of a lolipop issue, att gimped us on toggles in general
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Tref:
I would NOT be surprised to see it corrected in a future update. It shouldn't take long since they might not continue to create updates for this phone for long, and assuming they put out at least one more.

Anyone else notice that the screen blanks if you pull down your tray and leave it down for a few seconds?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] muniz_ri:
Adding the mobile data toggle is a quick fix if you are rooted. I may add a flashable addon to my keeproot thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Tref:
Too late for me to root Muniz.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] Tref:
I've noticed if my music player is in the notification area that the screen won't black if I swipe it down, as it will if I swipe it down and delay any action for a few seconds without it there. So that is good.

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joseph473:
I have a rooted Note 2 and sometimes I get into a situation where I need to pull the battery. Since I would not be able to do this with a G6 how would I get out of freeze-up situations? To me this seems the main reason I would not want any phone where I could not pull the battery. I hope, however, I am wrong.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lextendo:
I managed to reduce the screen-alignment problems of my TyTN using the credit card technique described in the wiki. However, it did not disappear completely.

I’m considering to send the device for repair. Repairs for Dutch customers are done by eurotwice.be

Off course like many others I upgraded my TyTN to WM6. Since the radio is also upgraded it wouldn’t make much sense downgrading the OS to WM5 because a radio-downgrade is not possible (correct me if I’m wrong here)

Furthermore: it would be a waste of time to downgrade it just for the screen (hardware!) repair, only to upgrade the OS after the hardware problem is solved.

Has anybody offered their OS (and radio) upgraded device for repair by eurotwice and –more important- did eurotwice made a problem of it?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] mrvanx:
If im thinking the same way as the service centre would, they would be more bothered about the modifications done with the credit card technique.

I sent my TyTN for repair with an updated ROM in it (and thus a newer SPL/IPL and Radio) It was a HTC ROM but not one found on thier site (there has been NO ROMS posted on thier site YET). They didnt even touch the ROM at all and fixed it no problems. Had I tried the credit card thing I think the story would be different.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] lextendo:
I guess your correct. :(

The thing is: it did help to reduce the problem.

Just for the record: I didn't us use a creditcard but a piece of thin plastic. The kind which is used as cover when binding printouts ;)

There's no 'outside' damage and no tampering with screws or anything else, but the probably notice something when they actually open the device?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Lio:
I have contacted HTc about the screen alignment problem. they replied that i have to wait for the official wm6 rom upgrade which will be available from their website end july 2007. we r now end july and there is no wm6 download on their site! do any of u think that a rom upgrade to wm6 will help? or is this purely a hardware problem? i think that htc is pushing off the problem untill my waranty runs out!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] StonyA:
WM6 upgrade is now available (as of 31/07) for all HTC eClub members.

Stony
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] stevieboy:
i'd say its safe to send for repair,i dont think they will care about wm6 and the screen will have to be seperated from the chassis anyway which will obliterate ant signs of mod/repair

[Desire 816 General] sirawut:
If you use CyanogenMod then I assume that you have custom recovery already. I use CWM 6.0.5.1 (above guy said 6.0.4.7 is not work).

1. Download this rom backup .7z file and extract it. You will get a rom backup folder.

2. Copy that folder to sd card. Place it in default backup location of your recovery. If you don't know, try backup your current rom and see where is it. You can see "Backup and restore" menu when you reboot in recovery mode.

3. Restore it. That's all!

I suggest to backup your current rom before. If you have some problem with my rom then you can restore to your current.
[Desire 816 General] sirawut:
Thanks for this information.

Do you use CWM 6.0.4.7? Try again with 6.0.5.1. I can't remember where I got this version. I searched in Desire 816 forum. Or, try PhilZ Touch 6 Recovery as [MENTION=3225729]tazmako[/MENTION] said above.
