The battery life is a joke. 75% left at the end of the day with more than 3 hours of screen on. I go running in the morning with the FM radio on, plus S Health and My Tracks counting every step, plus reading the messages, newspaper, Twitter, etc, and by lunch I have 90%. It feels so good to know you won't run out of battery anymore. You feel the king of the streets.

Radio alternative S5 Neo!!

Hi guys,

I bought this phone a few days ago but I saw that the radio is installed is shameful. Too trivial and no RDS.

Give me some direct links to some APK to download some better radio alternative that is compatible with this phone ?? But it should not have to be connected to the internet !!!

Thanks in advance!!!

Hi all

I am considering getting this phone. Any advice from current users?

However i have a question. My phones usually last, meaning new versions on Android will come out trough it's life.

My last phone was a Samsung S3 mini which i liked very much up until the point where i wanted to install Cyanogen or other rom to be able to get a new version of android.

However since it seems Samsung does not release drivers for it's hardware, alternative roms were very buggy and not all of the hardware worked (for example NFC).

Is this the case with the S5 Neo and should i then get another phone if i want to be able to update it in the future? Considering a Nexus 5X as an alternative.

Regards

If you want a phone that has a long period of support, take on of the best sellers, like the S6 is now.

These will be updated for the longest time. Also they sell a lot, so a lot of users have it, which means a big user base

Also which ever phone you take, make sure u jump on the custom rom train on the right moment.

Every phone will loose interest of modders, so make sure you have the last good rom before everybody else moves to newer phones.

I still have my S1 which I can (re) flash with one of the last good roms made for it.

S5 Neo water resistance and S5 Plus comparison.

Hi guys :)

I'we had the S5 Neo for a couple of weeks now. Used to own the regular S5 before.

First of all I gotta tell you all It isn't as water resistant as they advertise. I spilled a glass of Vodka on mine and it got soaked through and through.

2 days in rice didn't help at all but 1 day on my radiator heater got all the liquid out and it is now fully functional again.

So while waiting, I decided to get another phone and I managed to get a good deal on the S5 Plus which i rooted and installed CyanogenMod on.

to compare these two phones:

The Neo has way better cameras... much brighter and sharper pictures.

On the other hand the S5 Plus is twice as powerfull in antutut, 5-6 times more power full in 3DMark, but in Geekbench the Neo was way better on multicore computations.

I think i read somewhere that the Neo has an underdeveloped gpu driver.... Is this correct?

And could the results of the antutu and 3DMark benchmarks be beacause the aforementioned apps doesn't take full advantage of all the cores and or x64 capabilities of the Neo?

Might post battery comparison as soon as CyanogenMod is out on the Neo.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
You had an original s5 you got a s5 plus and ended up with a Neo? Or how you got your Neo[emoji14]none of the phones are as water resistant as they tell. Also vodka isn't anything they tested to see if it is water resistant. Not even salt water (yeah salt water) is keeping your warranty safe. Not sure if vodka does too. But yeah the water resistant phones isn't really water resistant. Don't really know what they should be called. Partial water resistant *

Excludes salt water etc. So yeah I don't really would recommend to pour water over the phone because simply doing that most of the phone's are resistant or wouldn't have any issues afterwards. Having them in water or simply drop it and pick it up doesn't count either. Because my s4 did so and in entered factory download mode. (Woho) it didn't have any damage at all afterwards. So never listen to info, I've only heard about one who put it in the washer machine after some times (more than 2) it died. Luckily warranty did help (after some talking)
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] kaodd:
iRock, maaan

1. don't abuse vodka like that, drink !

2. gpu driver, i don't even know we have one ;)

3. benchmark, i don't care. but that's me, so i just use the phone and i like it. Fast enough, strong enough, nice battery, nice screen,

i don't care like 1/10 of a second faster or not :)

phones without fails are sooo boring, thats why i like the s5 neo :)

u have had no problems before - now u can get some, if u want :) we all love it - i think?!

love 'n peace man and welcome in our thread.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] iRock.dev:
Hi LSD, and thanks for all your hard work :)

Actually I had two S5's before i bought the Neo, one got stolen and one felt like having a kissing the pavement, after that I bought the Neo not cus I couldn't afford the S6. I bought the S5 Plus while waiting for for my Neo to come alive. I know that they are only relatively water resistant IP67 and all that, but i expected more. I also read that salt water voids the warranty. but if your friend managed to get a new one after two rounds in the washer I might actually try to have a chat whit Samsung about this maybe I'll get one without broken "watermarks". My girlfriend has a Huawei that actually that survived being soaked in water, it only needed a couple of days in the dryer ;)

Thanks for the warm welcome, nice to see another Norwegian here.

I know vodka is for drinking, I just didn't feel like drinking alone so I wanted to share with all my contacts... damn phone keep't it all for itself ;)

Lets hope they write a descent gpu kernel module with Marshmallow!

I agree in regards to the screen and battery life but I feel the Neo responds way to slow. I hate unresponsiveness so much I pull out my own hair while sleeping ;)

Hoping CyanogenMod will come out for It and make it feel more responsive. If i wasn't to busy studying computer science I'd give porting a shot myself.

Btw, never had problems with any phones especially not the first gen droids from htc :)

Sorry not to be here but i just received my note 4:)

With custom roms available atm i don't think neo is slow. Tw is responsive, fast. But as you noticed i think too that the adreno from our neo is not optimized...i saw few artefacs in some games. Dunno if MM will correct it...For me black point of neo is the sound. Apart from that...it's a smartphone with good cam, good proc....well i hate a thing nevertheless: MicroSD emplacement.

[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] :
I'm not jealous trying to revive a Huawei g360 (no it isn't mine though) so not a replacement device)

The problem is it doesn't boot to system.

Why? The system has been erased (somehow) dunno if it erase the system if Bootloader is locked even if you try flash it.

It can enter fast boot BUT the Huawei app for "restoring" devices isn't recognizing the device at any kind. Though it has all drivers installed. I must say of all devices I have been trying to fix this is the worst. Can't even unlock Bootloader since I'm missing device product ID -.- IF I make it work again. I'll most likely going to unlock Bootloader ASAP I don't think the guy will have any IMEI though, since device is more wiped than I can imagine. I'll have to contact Huawei for support because this just won't work aah driving me nuts tried for hours with 0 progress.

Luckily s5 Neo is way better and easier to restore in this case all we need is the signed images and Odin.

Fastboot devices are way harder (a similar thing happened to my G3) and it had to be sent to service center so I assume this is caused by similar reason. My G3 died suddenly and I wasn't able to restore it. Even service center had to replace motherboard. So it can be same situation here any ideas?

OK. So you can make your own custom including your csc...but need some work on your own ;)

Want some help ?

To copy YOUR csc, follow this:

Copy from system :

- All csc folder

- All sipdb folder

- All vodb folder

- In etc folder, copy csc*.txt, feature_default.xml, hidden_apks_list.txt, *_keystrings.dat

- In system folder, copy CSCVersion.txt, SW_Configuration.xml

Then download a custom rom and copy/replace files by the one you copied.

Done! Your CSC with a custom rom plus if you download LastStandingDroid you will have xposed installed ;)

If your phone is sim unlocked it won't matter if you change csc if it's unlocked it most likely is perm unlocked. Not temp

Booted the phone in Download mode, It connected in ODIN, added the tar file I made to the AP box, clicked 'Start'

It failed straight away saying

Custom binary (BOOT) blocked by FRP lock.

No idea what an FRP lock is, it might be FAP. The writing is so tiny I can't tell.

---------- Post added at 04:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:14 PM ----------

Ok, that FRP thing is a setting in Developer options.

I tried again. It worked. Get a little red bit of writing on the splash screen during boot saying the kernel is not enforcing something, so maybe it is ok.

About Device screen shows it is using my kernel.

SE for Android still says enforcing.

---------- Post added at 04:26 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:18 PM ----------

I think I somehow need to run a command

setenforce 0

but I get permission denied if I try to do it through terminal emulator.

Anyone got any ideas?

---------- Post added at 04:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Same through ADB

---------- Post added at 05:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:34 PM ----------

Rebuilding the kernel again, last time I think I just changed a setting to allow you to change the SE from 'enforcing' to 'permissive', this time I am building it to default to permissive.

The red message on the splash screen when the phone boots says 'KERNEL IS NOT SE ANDROID ENFORCING'

I keep getting KNOX pop up on the screen when the phone is running saying that 'unauthorised' activity has been detected.

The Download mode screen now shows the Build as being 'CUSTOM' and the KNOX warranty void as 1. Woohoo!

I am going to flash to stock boot.img file back just to see if it clears up the KNOX thing.

Then I will flash the kernel again. I am still not exactly sure how this gets you any closer to rooting the device though. I have never done anything like this before, and I have no idea what I am doing, so it is an interesting exercise anyway.

---------- Post added at 05:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

Flashing the stock boot.img file back using ODIN clears the little red message on the splash screen, and stops the KNOX warnings coming up. The download screen reverts back to say 'Current Binary: Samsung Official' and 'System Status: Official'

KNOX Warranty Void is still set to 1 though.

Waiting for the kernel to finish re-compiling to test.
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] BobBaltzer:
Thanks for trying and sharing! :good:

I have read on "Graeme Hill's Dev Blog" (post 2014.138) that a permissive kernel probably isn't enouth since he writes: "I am assuming that your android device is already rooted." As far as I understand, a permissive kernel is necessary in order to use a rooted device, but it isn't enough in itself.

Perhaps some of the more experienced Android developers could give a hint?
[Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo Questions & Answers] wobbler611:
Ok, I messed the Makefile up. It ended up being the same as the first one. I haven't got time to mess about with this anymore. Maybe I'll have another quick go another time.

I can definitely compile a kernel with SELinux set to permissive., I just don't have time right now. If there is more to it than that then I would need some more info on what it entails.

Ok, I have a kernel running which shows as Permissive in the About screen. 'getenforce' in terminal shows permissive too.

I compiled it without some Samsung anti root options, and patched the SELinux source to never set the mode to Enforcing.
