[Galaxy Note5 General] done12many2:
I believe Samsung chose form AND function on the Note5. Some features were added and a bit were taken away, but in the end it works great. It's not just better performing than my Note 4, it not even comparable. Yes, it's that much faster.

This is not a very great analogy when your following sentence says that the Note5 does perform better.

Agreed! My Note5 looks better and performs better than my Note 4, but you only seem to be hung up on the fact that they made it look better and therefore must be going after iPhone owners. Guess what? It would be smart of any company to practice this. Getting people to switch from one brand to another is what business is about. I'm just glad Samsung gave us a much faster version of the Note while doing it!

I try not to focus on the things I hate. I've learned that it's a loser type mentality that leads to mediocrity.

I absolutely agree that features were removed, but what I got in return was well worth it.
[Galaxy Note5 General] airmaxx23:
Almost anyone I've seen with the Note 5 or S6 has the back glass all scratched up and it looks like crap. No removable battery, no micro SDcard slot and no IR blaster are enough to keep me using my Note 4 DE until Samsung gets their act together again. My Note 4 may very well be my last Samsung phone.
[Galaxy Note5 General] drdanishkhannew.540:
I dont know why they had to make the back from glass.. could have used metal like htc or apple (sigh).. that glass back is a disaster waiting to happen.. scratches like anything and god forbid a single drop and it shatters and you need to pay 5 6k to get it replaced.. its annoying.. i am planning on getting the note 4 but it has its own set of problems.. samsung is losing its game.. the hardware doesnt mean **** if the software doesnt even allow you to use it..
[Galaxy Note5 General] foulmouthedruffian:
It's like everyone here has forgotten each person has different needs for a phone. It's not terribly difficult to take a step back and see the merit of both arguments. Insults and name-calling aren't going to suddenly change someone's mind.

However, I admit this thread is a riot.
[Galaxy Note5 General] BarryH_GEG:
Do you know of any metal backed phones that support wireless charging? I can't recall any. The non-removable battery has been addressed in 3 ways: 1) Battery life is fantastic - I'm seeing at least a 30% improvement with my Note 5 set up

exactly

the same way as my Note 4, 2) high speed wireless charging - did this even previously exist?, and 3) quick charging is silly fast. If my choice is a metal back or high speed wireless charging I'll pick the latter.
[Galaxy Note5 General] done12many2:
Great point!
[Galaxy Note5 General] mi7chy:
Bought the Note II then Note 3 but the pen wasn't as good so eventually sold it. Skipped the Note 4 since it was ugly with the changes. Got the Note 5 yesterday to be the primary device for the next few years.

Still using original Note II battery that's still going strong since 2012 so swappable battery isn't important as fast wired and wireless charging. Had Sandisk micro SD cards prematurely die so I'd rather have faster reliable internal storage that has the additional benefit of app installation support. IR I've never used since it's dinosaur line-of-sight technology with limited range. Note 4 would be a downgrade for me.
[Galaxy Note5 General] Dr. Evo:
I can't imagine anyone real person agreeing with this rant, other than they really like their Note 5.
[Galaxy Note5 General] irzero:
I have a note 3 a tab 's and a S6 and I can tell you I have software problems on all of them.

The updates that come out are horrid. How one phone can get 5 hours screen on time and one gets 2 is beyond me.. My Tab S lasts 1.5 days on standby not even used for 1 min on fresh reset! Seriously how is this possible? My note 3 has got worse with every update that has come out and now my business phone can't use email without constant crashing. They are all going to Samsung repair center which is behind my house which they won't be able to fix then I'll pay £50 for legal action in small claims court to get my money back
[Galaxy Note5 General] Vegeta1977:
I've had all 5 notes and still have my note 3 and 4. The note 5 is far and away better in every way
[Galaxy Note5 General] copper7op:
I'm 100% with you. Had a note 5 for 3 days before giving it away. Back to my Note3 while I wait for a Note 4 to arrive.

I run IT for a large company, so someone was VERY happy to get my Note 5, but I can't stand the stripping down of KEY features from (what was marketed as) a professional product.

No IR? I can't manage my fleet of TV's.

No SD Cards? I can fix users SD Cards in the field from their S2/s3/S4/s5 series products.

No battery options? Better hope that smaller battery is somehow magical.

Honestly, the "wow" factor on this device is totally gone. Its not much bigger than an S5, yet somehow lacks MANY features that I've come to love about it.

I'm not sure if I should reflash stock , sunshine says I have to uninstall xposed on my 5.1 xt1058 and I want to know if anyone got it to work on 2013 variant, I needz freedem
[Moto X Q&A] bobdamnit:
Sunshine supports the Moto X 2013 up to 4.4.2, on all 2013 Moto X's and only some on 4.4.4. The only way to check is to install Sunshine and try. It won't cost you anything unless it can unlock the bootloader.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mohitontherocks14:
Hey, I successfully flashed CM 12.1 on my Moto E XT1022. Before doing that I ,using twrp, made a backup of unlocked+rooted stock rom 4.4.4.

Now I want to revert back to 4.4.4 Kitkat from CM 12.1. Will the following procedure brick my phone ?

1 - reboot into recovery TWRP

2 - wipe data,system,cache,dalvik, internal storage

3 - restore STOCK ROM BACKUP using TWRP

4 - reboot
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magnetboard:
Restoring won't brick your phone. You'll be just fine restoring a backup.
[Moto E Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BLDS:
The best way to downgrade to 4.4.4 KitKat is flashing via Fastboot. This mode is universal and highly recommended. Most people do downgrade by him.

Care to downgrade the KitKat 4.4.2 and then upgrade to 4.4.3 KitKat, this action to update via OTA an earlier version of the factory (4.4.4) can bricked your device. In Brazil this action has 100% chance of bricked Moto E.

Just download the ZIP of Stock 4.4.4 of its model, within several files but you only need to open the file .bat that contains all installation codes. If you are not the file with the codes within just search here at XDA has.

Hi all... i have a problem with my Galaxy A3 (SM-A300FU) Let me explane and i hope you can help me:

Few months ago i decided to root my SM-A300FU running android 4.4.4 and all worked so i enjoyed my rooted device with no problems...

Then i decided to update my phone to lollipop just to see how it works but when i tried to root lollipop (using cf auto root for a300fu but for 4.4.4 bec for 5.0.2 it doesn't exist) it started the first time but when i rebooted my phone it stopped working, i mean it's stuck on samsung screen, or worst stuck on a strange yellow "sand screen"... so i reinstalled lollipop normally and started to use it without root waiting for a cf auto root for 5.0.2... some days ago i thought that i could downgrade to 4.4.4 and be able to re root my device so i downloaded stock firmware for my a3 from sammobile.com

but when i tried to flash it (always with odin running administrator) it just stuck at samsung loading screen :(

I can reflash lollipop and all restart working but i can't root 5.0.2 so i want to downgrade to stock 4.4.4 and i can't!

I'm getting crazy on it trying to flash it tons of times but it don't wanna work... I hope you can help me downgrading this phone!

PS: model code: SM-A300FU build version: LRX22G.A300FUXXU1BOEC
[XDA Assist] rirozizo:
Hello and thank you for using Assist.

These guys RIGHT HERE have managed to root your phone on lollipop, you might want to check out this thread :)

Good luck!
[XDA Assist] xLukEZ:
Thanks a lot for reply and I'll obviously try that method but if it's possible i would like to be linked to a post that explanes how to downgrade my a300fu 5.0.2 to 4.4.4 ;) or just explane me how to do it without bricking it as it results when i try to do it now with my "method".
[XDA Assist] rirozizo:
well is there a reason to downgrade to 4.4.4 now that you can get root on 5.0.2?

Anyway if you still want to downgrade, head over to Android's Q&A Section since there's no dedicated forum for your device, and ask your question there :)

I hooe I have helped you!

Hi there,

I was wondering if anyone could please tell me which ROM is best for good battery life and excellent stability? I have been having problems with the shipped WM5 ROM and want to throw my Dopod in the ocean! Stability sucks, keys stop working, it's just awful.

I hope a good WM6 upgrade will fix my problems!! Please help.

Adam.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mattk_r:
If you're willing to try one, then try many. You'll get lots of opinions, but like anything - it's your own that will count.

Read through the rom threads and pick one. They're all pretty good - just depends on what you want it to include.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] drooch:
All the ROMS have their positive's and negative's. but if u just want to move to WM6 and things just work (eg, dont have to enter settings, etc..) then download the SEA dopod WM6 ROM. it has all the settings for Australian providers and after 2weeks of useage, ive had no major issues.

in short

if u want things to just work...... SEA dopod WM6 ROM

if u want a customized ROM (manual settings entry)..... pick any ROM

(overall the devices with WM6 are more stable and increase battery performance)

just try them all!!

[Ornate TrueSmart] boysha8:
Hi, my omate truesmart was stuck in a bootloop about 6 months ago and i gave up on it. Am actually trying to restore it again now. I am able to get into stock recovery, but whenever i connect it to my computer to try to install twrp or try to flash using sp tools, it gets into that bootloop mode again and keeps rebooting to the omate splash screen every 30 seconds or so (thus connecting and disconnecting the device from the computer). I did a factory wipe and all that through the stock recovery. I did not take any backups. Anyone has any pointers on how to resolve this?
[Ornate TrueSmart] miki1g:
Pull out the battery for turn off. Now you can flash a new rom, twrp. I had the same problems.
[Ornate TrueSmart] boysha8:
Hi miki1g, i did pull out the battery to turn it off. But when i put it back in and connect it to the PC, the same thing happens, it immediately switches on by itself and resumes its bootloop. Am i supposed to do something different?
[Ornate TrueSmart] miki1g:
If you don't turn on the watch again maybe you have quick boot on , so try hold the power button pushed , or i don't remember if from stock recovery you can do turn off the quick boot
[Ornate TrueSmart] boysha8:
I dont see an option for turning off quick boot in the stock recovery. Is there any other solution?
[Ornate TrueSmart] miki1g:
try this I think it will be works if your usb debuging is on. before you connect to Pc turn on your sp-flash tool with all files redy to flash and click download, then connect the Ts. the sp-flash tool should recognize the connection and and making your flashing rom

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge+] asjassar:
according to sprint policy your device should be off contract or paid off if financed to do the domestic unlock. but you can ask for international unlock anytime just tell them you are going overseas ( excludes mexico and canada sprint works there) for extended period of time ( 1-2 months) and you don't want to pay roaming.

but you can call sprint and ask for domestic unlock after 30 - 45 days just say you are going to area in usa where service is very poor ( check coverage map) it might work. but chances are really low.
