Is there any devs for this device samsung galaxy e5 :)

Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. At this point there is very little information about the E5 on XDA You can Google galaxy e5 xda and find the information that is available.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
I was searching eBay and saw a G9250 and G925I that seem very similar. There's also a G925F. All support all AT&T bands as far as I can tell. I'm looking for SIM unlocked, boot loader unlocked and updates not tied to a carrier. Most importantly I want one that will likely see the most development here. What do you guys suggest?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
I have G920I and have no problem with LTE or connectivity. However I'm thinking about switching to edge and I'm considering G9250 which hands down supports the most LTE bands than any other variant. It's just too pricey yet :( let me know how much you end up spending on which variant
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] primod808:
Agree I think the G9250 has the most LTE Bands. USA and Asia for the most part not sure about Europe but probably would maybe....
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
Thank you both. I was also leaning towards the 9250. Prices are not that different between the I, F, and 0 variants. However, I have not committed to one yet. It looks like the 9250 also has the CDMA radios but I noticed more 3G CDMA radios then 3G GSM ones listed. I know mostly all I need is the LTE but I just want to be sure.

I will let you guys know once I get it.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
Great! I just ordered my 9250 through never-msrp website (its $30 cheaper than their ebay posting). Here are the bands supported on G9250 from Samsung's HK website:

Here are the bands supported by G9250:

LTE	B1, B2, B3, B4(AWS), B5, B7, B8, B12, B17, B18, B19, B20, B25, B26, B28, B29

TD-LTE	B38, B41, B40, B39

2G bands	GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

CDMA 800

3G bands	HSDPA 850 / 900 / 1900 / 2100

3G CDMA	BC0(800)

3G TD-CDMA B34(2010), B39(1880)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
Link please. Can you add a squaretrade warranty if purchased direct? That's one reason I was thinking of going through ebay.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
Here is the link. I think you can still buy SquareTrade warranty through their site directly. Go to http://www.squaretrade.com/get-warranty and put in 221744575898 which is the item number for the same item from the same seller. Later you can forward your purchase receipt from never-msrp to SquareTrade.

I personally prefer to buy their insurance which imo is better coverage. If a Samsung phone works fine within the first 14 days(return period for seller), I don't think you'd need warranty later on.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
You mean you prefer to buy ATT insurance? Not sure if that's what you meant. Unfortunately, I don't see the 9250 in 64gb on their site. I might have to wait a bit.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
I meant buy Squaretrade Insurance instead of Squaretrade warranty.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ghostyroasty:
I'm cancelling out Sprint and going with Cricket, and was curious about this as well. I currently have an S3 that I've had since the release. Time for an upgrade and I am a bit torn between the s6's. I was originally going to wait for a G4, but the Flex 2 and the G3 was uncomfortable in my hands when compared to the S6. And I'll have a case on it, so it would be much more uncomfortable. Custom roms have made my life with my S3 a much more bearable one as I'm currently running Lollipop. I'll be getting two of whatever I decide on, but I need lte, no bloatware, and a lot of rom development so I can explore!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
I think things have changed in development scene quite a bit since S3. I personally was a flashoholic and used to flash new roms/kernels daily. But as android evolved, I felt the need to try custom roms less and less. IMO there will be less number of custom roms as we move to each new generation of Android phones. If you really want tens of custom roms and kernel, go with a Nexus. Right now I have an S6 (coming from a Nexus) and waiting for my G9250 to arrive. I have not had any need to flash a custom rom. Having root is nice though.

Overall, IMHO If you want more roms, go with G925F/G920F. Otherwise G9250 has the most comprehensive network bands support. Root is available on pretty much all variants.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
I ordered the 9250 w/64gb storage from Never MSRP but via their ebay listing. The most expensive phone I've every purchased, hopefully I can get some good life out of it. Should be arriving Monday. I compared all the bands and I think this was the way to go. I too am no longer flash happy with my phones. Although CM12 has been great on my OnePlus. I just want to be able to root the phone for simple things and more control. Still undecided about the Squaretrade insurance. I will decide within the month they give you.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohsoasn:
I bought the g925i edge...I live in cali and using cricket, does that mean I won't get as many bands? I'm just worried about 4g speeds + call/text signal strength because I use it during school and work.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
I finally received my 9250. To be clear, I had 920i for a few weeks on at&t. Before that, I had 925A. I feel data on 9250 is slightly faster than my 920i Attached is a series of speed test result in downtown Philadelphia which is a pretty congested area. My 925A speed tests in same area, had similar results so I do not think 9250 is any slower.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
I also received my 9250 today. But for some reason the version I got G9250ZTU1AOCI isn't supported by ping pong root yet. I couldn't find the firmware on Sam mobile either. Any suggestions?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
After an OTA, I'm on AOE4 and rooted using ping pong. Did you try to software update?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
Will try it when I get home. Was your firmware version the same as I posted above before the update?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
Yup!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
You have been incredibly helpful and if this works you have brightened my day! Did you try the bootloader unlock app (CROM) from the samsung app store? I did and it gave me a message that my bootloader is unlocked and I can install a custom ROM. Status is still official.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
No, I just rooted using Ping Pong. I'm getting old for roming these days :D

Let me know how far you can keep knox warranty not voided.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohsoasn:
When you guys first got your phones did you get any signal/data? I just turned mine on a few mins ago and I've been stuck with 1 bar and 0 data. Not even 3g.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
I did my setup entirely on wifi and made sure everything was okay with the phone. Then inserted my ATT sim and it asked me to reboot. After rebooting I checked calling and LTE - both were great. My Oneplus One was next to the S6E, had one bar on the 1+1 and 4 on the edge.

What service are you using?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohsoasn:
I'm using cricket and I got the g925i though. Would that be the problem?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
It might be. I'm not familiar with the bands that cricket uses.

Here's what I found about the phone specs. Not sure if there are multiple variations of the 925i. If not, maybe check these against cricket in your area.

2G GSM

GSM850, GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900

3G UMTS

B1(2100), B2(1900), B4(AWS), B5(850), B8(900)

4G FDD LTE

B1(2100), B2(1900), B3(1800), B4(AWS), B5(850), B7(2600), B8(900), B12(700), B17(700), B18(800), B19(800), B26(800), B28(700)

4G TDD LTE

B40(2300)

Hmm...I sent them a message this is what they sent back:

set APn:

https://www.cricketwireless.com/sup...ice-byod/customer/bring-your-own-android.html

I noticed there's something called "bearer" as you go down the list on the phone and there's an option that says LTE. The default setting is "unspecified" should I change it to LTE or leave it alone?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
Try it with unspecified first. After the settings stick, reboot the phone and see. If you still have issues, try it with LTE only. I don't think it makes a difference though but I'm not sure.

Based on what I just read about the bands used by Cricket, if your phone has the same bands I pasted earlier, you should have no issues getting full service. So it is most likely the APN settings.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohsoasn:
I tried both and 4g works on both settings so I have no clue what the difference is. However, it's only 4g and there's no LTE. Also the signal strength is still at 1 bar and it won't go any higher...not sure what to do about that...
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
The international variants say 4G. Go into setting -> about device - >status. It should show you if you are on LTE.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
Is this a G9250? "4G" signal icon is actually LTE! There's a csc mod if you want to have it show "LTE".
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohsoasn:
I checked it and yeah you guys are right haha. Thanks! Now I just need to figure out why it's stuck at 1 bar. It rises to full bars and 4g changes to H+ if I make a call though so I guess it's not a problem?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
Sounds like you're getting the signal you are suppose to. Don't just test it in one place. Go out for a drive and see if it goes beyond 1 bar on LTE (4G). Also, the switch to H+ during a call is exactly what is supposed to occur. Enjoy the phone!
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
Thank you so much. It worked perfectly!

[MENTION=668804]mehdi_s82[/MENTION]

My device status now says custom. Is that the same as tripping the Knox counter because I thought pingpong was safe from that?

Edit: used an app to check and knox is still 0x0.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ohsoasn:
I got like one last question, aside from the difference in bands, everything else like signal and calls and what nots should work exactly like a retail version from like best buy or something right?
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
Ping Pong is safe! and I actually have rooted my phone using that tool and Knox is 0x0. I thought you were going to install custom roms which requires unlocking bootloader, custom recovery etc. That's why I asked how far you could go without voiding knox.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
I think I am getting too old for it as well. I still like the idea of knowing I can do it but I don't know if I would. Do you know if our phones are covered under Samsung's warranty in the US?

Yes, it should work exactly the same as long with the exception of carrier specific things like T-Mobile's wifi calling.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
Unfortunately no. Samsung US only supports phones sold through US carriers. I could not even register the phone on my Samsung US account. It didn't let me choose the right model number. I bought SquareTrade just to be safe :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
On squaretrade's website it says $99 for 2 years plan but if I select that I bought it on eBay it's a higher price. Do you know anything about that? I was thinking of doing the 3 year for $129 .
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
SquareTrade offers two options: Extended Warranty and Insurance. If you buy through Ebay you have the option to buy extended warranty. Their own website, offers you the insurance option. I personally only bought insurance as IMO if a phone has no issue within the first 14days, I don't think I'll need warranty. The rest, I will rely on insurance to get my phone replaced.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamzer11:
Got it. That's what I did. They are taking $25 off so I got the 2 year for $75 + tax. Didn't make sense to get the 3 year for another 55 since they only discount that by $25 also. Thanks for all your help, especially with the rooting advice.
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mehdi_s82:
Sure thing man! I'm glad things are working out for you. I think 9250 was the right choice :)
[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] infate:
G925F v. G925I v. G9250.

Thoughts on these guys?

I saw this one user get horrible LTE reception on a G925F compared to a G925A, which is stopping me from buying a G925F. Now I see a bunch of people purchasing G9250 and the only thing stopping me from buying it is the lack of devs for this device and the possibility of not having google apps if the phone is from China.

For those who has any one of these phones, how are your LTE receptions on the G925I, F, and 0?

God, I'm so stumped on which to get.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjhuffer:
I'm going to be sending my phone through the HTC Advantage Program here in the next couple of days. I had a washed out pixel that was bothering me. It was within a year so it should be covered under warranty. I have returned my phone completely to stock including S-On, removed root, relocked bootloader, and installed stock image. Those of us that have been through this procedure, will HTC make a fuss about my phone having RELOCKED in the bootloader screen. I'm really not sure if it is even possible to change this to Locked. I have looked through some websites but they are all based on the Kit Kat software. There are no tutorials for us on Lollipop. Also, in order to change it, I would have to be rooted with S-Off and an unlocked bootloader. As soon as I would relock my bootloader, it would just change it to Relocked again. Somebody please let me know if I will basically be screwed out of my deposit.

I have read some articles and websites about how HTC cannot void you warranty for unlocking and rooting. However, I am completely at their mercy because they have my credit card on file. It would not even be worth it financially to fight their decision through legal processes.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redpoint73:
HTC Advantage is an "additional" warranty feature for a cracked screen caused by the user, and good for 6 months. Your issues sounds more like a manufacturing defect that would be normally covered under the "regular" 1-year warranty.

You can return to LOCKED with s-off; and you can also return to s-on. However, since you've already unlocked the bootloader via HTCDev.com, HTC already has a record of you unlocking the bootloader.

I've heard various arguments that getting the unlock bin code doesn't necessarily mean you actually unlocked the bootloader. Maybe that's true, but IMHO its a rather contrived argument. Others may argue this point, and possibly rightfully so; but that is just the way I see it. And as you pretty much already stated, HTC holds all the cards, so its really up to them whether they want to honor your warranty or not. And trying to force them otherwise would be a serious uphill battle and probably fruitless.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjhuffer:
I really have no other choice. I'm just going to have to send it in and see what they have to say. I could always cancel my credit card before they get the phone. That way they don't have anything on file.

So how did things turn out for you and the return to HTC?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Snoops:
Sorry if this has been covered before, I've been searching the threads for quite a while though only came up with those having problems with standby freezing.

So I have a 838pro, running Elf 2.1 - Clean! -- Connected to exchange 2007 (push) 3g/HSDPA. This works great -- except I cannot go far from a charger since my pda will not enter standby mode.....(unless i hit the power button - this works fine, and so does resuming) -- Every thing is great except it drains the battery like no tomorrow.

Not running wifi or bluetooth. 3 Network in Australia.

If I kill the activesync service it will standby as set by my power settings (1min power/30sec screen)

Would my exchange server be playing funny buggers?

I've tried a couple of different roms (black etc) and all seem to have a similar problem.

Running 1.41xxx radio / hard spl v7;

Any ideas?

Cheers.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Snoops:
Since yesterday, I've down graded to my Networks current rom (which is 1.30 vm5) and standby works fine.

Tonight I will re-flash to a wm6 rom and see if it helps (e.g. not changing the radio rom back to 1.41)

The rom I got is specifily for my network so call quality is actually better than 1.41 - with regards to range/data -- too early to tell.

My phone has never gone into standy while using Push from the exchange server. Once I make it sync every 15 minutes it seems to be able to turn the screen off.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Snoops:
Well about half way thru today it started doing the not sleeping thing. So tonight I re-installed elf and tried using push with an exchange 2003 server (I am not sure of services packs etc, as the exchange 03 server isnt hosted locally).

So now it has been running for about 4 hours without any problems. It must be a exchange 2007 thing.. Maybe the keep alive packet??

Any Ideas?

I noticed since I set up DeniaL's Exchange 2007 service, my battery life went into the toilet. My bro in law was comparing phones (he has a Hermes too) and asked why mine never went into standby... Battery problem discovered... :( Ideas anyone?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Snoops:
Does Denials owa access use http or https?

(e.g. when you setup your exchange server do you leave the ssl option ticked?)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Snoops:
After having a little time to play around.. I think (might) of found the issue.. Syncing over a http connection seems to be the problem for me. Switching to ssl seems to fix the issue... -- Will update in a two or two after more testing
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] technicolorguru:
So, my clockworkmod started boot looping on me. The first google result told me to type this into a terminal:

echo boot | dd of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p3 bs=1 seek=0

Well, that was a bad idea. I told my phone to reboot, the screen went off, and has not come back on. No Android screen, no bootloader screen, no recovery, no nothing but the blackness.

Things I've tried:

I held down all three buttons several times, up to two minutes (I timed it once).

I did versions of holding power+vol up, then power+vol down.

It is fully charged

When I plug it into the computer, my computer makes the "device connected" sound, but says that it does not recognize the device.

HTC drivers are installed. I've used ADB/Fastboot with this PC and phone before.

ADB devices and fastboot devices show no devices.

Any ideas where I go from here, other than the Verizon store to buy a new phone? Thanks for your time!

I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseum, but I haven't revisited it in quite a while.

I really do enjoy Google Now and all the fun things it does for us. What are you guys doing to help out battery drain while using it? Are you using the "Battery Save" location function or some other tweak/setting?

Thanks!
[Nexus 6 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PryorDaniel:
I'm using latest Chroma with overclocked version of leanKernel and regularly use Google Now. I can't say I have any issues with battery life. For me, I set leanKernel to power saving through it's config, disable nav bar because I use LMT, use expanded desktop for that little extra screen space, and finally pick a dark-ish layers theme. Other than that I get greenify from play store (do not use it with exposed right now) and set it up to hibernate pretty much everything it can, except for things I deem important.
