[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtexan99:
I crushed my S5 (AT&T) today, pretty much broke it in half. Ooops.

I've long disliked the bootloader lock and ATT bloatware but I want to stay with the S5 platform for now since I like the form factor and various features.

Which is the best S5 variant for me to get that allows the most flexibility with unlocked bootloader and loading various ROMs? I'm thinking its the T-mobile variant, but wanted to get some feedback before I bought one. I'll be using a SIM from Puretalk as my carrier, so any SIM unlocked version should work.

Many thanks!
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] *Detection*:
G900F seems to be the most popular, and has an unlocked bootloader
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hai Karate:
G900T is a good choice as well. If you're in North America it might be easier to get your hands on one of those than a G900F.

i keep getting spam calls from the same number recently, and I went online to my verizon account to block the number. however, when I tried to apply it, I got an error message saying that I could not block it. interestingly, the system applied the block to my wife's iPhone.

is there an alternative way to block calls aside from a 3rd party app?

thanks!
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] ChazzMatt:
Some ROMs have that feature built in -- like CM. That's not "3rd party app".

Other than that, I use RCB blocker, but I'm rooted and it's a 3rd party app.

if it was a landline number you could use this service:

But it doesn't work with cell phones.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jco23:
finally got it figured out. had to have a chat with VZW and they had to enable "blocking calls and messages" feature on my account. i couldn't do it myself online, only on their end.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] Wynnded:
What I've done is create a contact called Block, tick the box to send to voicemail, and then set ringtone to none. You can add more than one number to this contact. Naturally this only works for numbers that you can save.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Q&A, Help & Troublesh] jlang11:
I use this. Works great. Xposed.

So, today I plugged in my S6 Edge and the fast charging is not working anymore. It is the same charger, outlet etc... Anyone have any thoughts? Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Soooperstar:
I've seen this before. Make sure the USB is pushed in the charger tightly. If it is, then it may be the USB cable is bad
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] sandman512:
Thanks,
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Poxie:
Does it not say fast charging in the pull down menu?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] sandman512:
It doesn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] thahim:
[MENTION=2079915]sandman51[/MENTION]3 check if the cable or charger is not damaged.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] Kumetto:
Noticed this on family members phone check how the plug is in the wall, try turning the plug 180 degrees/ switching the outlet orientation. I kept rotating the plug & one way = fast charging the other = slow charge. Its easy to mix up since the chargers do not have the one "thicker" prong
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge] sandman512:
Wound up buying a new cable, everything works now. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] pakman5391:
So I have a sprint galaxy S6, and I tried to install a custom rom and kernel. I thought it would be best to erase everything, but i guess i formatted and wiped everything. I mean everything. I have loaded TWRP v2.8.7.0 but I think it's for the wrong one because all of the touch screen inputs are flipped, but I can work around that. The cache, dalvik, system, data all fails to mount properly. The obvious answer would be handle this from the computer side of things, but I can't. For some reason, my computer will not recognize my s6 anymore. I am running Windows 10 and it says USB device not recognized. I am not sure what I should do. I am very confused. The last thing that is puzzling me is that it is showing that USB-OTG is mounted with 35 or so gigs for storage. when I click on it, it seems that all my system files are there. Is my S6 lost for good, or is there some hope left?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] scott_0:
have you tried using Odin to get back to 100% stock?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] pakman5391:
None of my computers will recognize the s6
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S6] legola:
copy the rom in the usb-otg then enter into the recovery. mount the usb then move the rom file in the sdcard then go back. select install and point to the rom file then flash. good luck, i hope this would help you
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] LaTropa64:
I love the look of my G4 with the leather. It stands out among all the Galaxy and iPhones.

Now the G5 looks too much like those phones... and the non black chin on the front is ugly af.

Also, I hate that they took the volume keys off the back. They worked great there in my opinion and made things like taking a screenshot one handed super easy.

Oh well, hopefully they either make the battery non-removable and/or not include an sd card option. That would effectively kill this phone as a choice for me.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] 20degrees:
I've had the g2, g3, and currently using the g4. If the g5 looks like the leaked photos above, I'll pass by it. No way would I be interested in that ugly mofo.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] LaTropa64:
Currently, my dream phone would be:

- LG G3 size (G4 got just too big enough to require my hand to do a shuffle to reach the top opposite corner)

- LG G4 leather backplate options (with the NFC/Qi wireless sticker that's like $10 on ebay)

- LG G3 bezels (G4 got bigger bezels, WTF?)

- Stainless steel instead of plastic chrome on the edges

- LG V10 fingerprint scanner and volume rockers all on the back

- LG G4 camera quality

- USB-C for the rare occasion you want to transfer large files fast or charge it faster than Qi.

- Much more powerful IR blaster

- Swappable battery and microSD card, of course (like all previous LG G's)

- Stock Android (not likely, but hey dreamphone)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
Only LG could make a superior metal phone look more like plastic than anyone else. The G3 looks more metallic than this thing.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Cerberus123:
Very sad design.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Dirtdawg57:
Really the back side doesn't bother me much since I will have a case. The only part that I don't like about the front is that big chin on the bottom (although the black version looks way better than this silver version.) I am curious though since that piece is removable if LG or a third party could make a replacement for it that would be more sleek and not so big. I think that would improve its look a lot.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shadowcore:
Looks like a Nexus 6p,iPhone 6 plus design languange.

I cant believe how many OEMs are copying the boring design of the iphone.

HTC, Sony, LG , Huawei and even samsung.

Seriously, it isnt that good.Its bland and has nothing going for it

For proof, check the "latest" flagships of these OEMs And let me not even start with planned obsolecence of the removable battery...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] numpea:
i don't see anything common in design with the iphone 6plus or nexus 6p

LG took the design from the nexus 5x
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] shadowcore:
"Visor", rounded shape similar to iphone 6 and jumpin g to the inferior material of aluminium, etc.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] googlephone:
Lol, why didn't you say iphone copied everything you just listed from HTC?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sithhy™:

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] daLareid:
I really hope this is a prototype cause that is fugly as hell.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] pidasms:
Why do you care so much what it looks like? So long as it does the job I would be happy. My main beef is no upgrade in internal storage from 32G. Yes i have a 128GB microSD card, but many apps dont let you transfer all to the card. needs 128GB internal to future proof it ( but that would mean no need to upgrade for a long time! not good marketing!) Dont like metal, too heavy and shocks the phone if dropped, more likely to crack the screen. If it keeps the FM radio, microSD expansion slot and removeable battery, which the others dont have all of, it will still be the stand out phone.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] SlyUK:
All will be revealed tomorrow I guess. Can't wait for the G6 though :)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Chris_Kardas:
Im using the G4, I love the curved display and the leather backcover, thats what i miss.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] deathknellx:
I got nothing but disappointment for this 5th iteration of the G series. Like several before said this phone is God awful ugly. There should at least be a black option. The colors are all too pastel. Perfect for some women...but nothing about the curves or design speaks to me. Not pleased about moving the volume rockers to the side. Lord only knows how much extra all those extra attachments will cost. I don't keep phones long enough to invest in cases and accessories anyway. I like my phones naked better. I love my V 10 maybe they won't muck that up too much! The next V just need the internals updated and that's all!!!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] OneStepAhead:
I think the design looks great. But end of the day, do we really care what a phone looks like? Id rather we went back to soft touch plastic than metal or glass. Most of us just put a plastic case over our phones anyways.

I left Android for 6 Plus after using it exclusively since 2010 or so. The G5 is the first Android phone that is compelling enough for me to consider switching back. The modular design to me is groundbreaking. I'm a big audio guy, so I'd definitely buy the DAC. Who knows what other cool accessories they'll make for it. LG deserves major praise for being the first brand to figure out how to design a metal unibody phone with a removable battery.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Jooosty:
I felt this way. Then I kept watching hands on videos. Your mind will change. This phone looks very nice IN HAND
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] suljo94:
exactly what I thought but a nice dbrand skin on the back with a red circle around the fingerprint scanner and a red trim around the cams and it looks nice I will be going for the dark gray version(or whatever they call it) with a black carbon skin and red carbon trim so that it matches my audiotechnica m50x mkbhd skin and the interior of my car and even my desk that has red lights on the back the front looks almost exactly as my lg g3 only bigger forehead
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] ziggazee:
Huge bezels, no app drawer, smaller battery, smaller screen but bigger phone, ugly mofo and again HUGE bezels!!!! Such a disappointment. Absolutely love my G3, it looks better than G5 and has bigger battery and bigger screen with tiny bezels and the phone is still smaller. After Samsung dropped SD card and removable battery I said id never go back to Samsung. But they have bought back SD card support and to be honest I've never once needed to replace the battery on any of my phones so I don't mind the non removable battery especially since s7 edge has a HUGE 3600 mAH. The S7 edge has a bigger screen but phone is smaller and this time it is properly waterproof ip68 with no flaps! and from early camera tests, it has the best camera. Really disappointed with LG so going back to Samsung this time round.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] AMDZen:
To each their own. I am only now considering the G5 now that it is actually a great looking phone. To me lg is doing nearly every thing right. Having a plastic phone simply wasn't an option for me and now lg scores huge by giving us all metal and removable battery. Removable battery is a bonus because the look and metal were much more important. I couldn't stand the looks of any previous lg phone. V10 looked OK but plastic pos cover was a deal breaker.

Sure it looks similar in over all design language to the phones mentioned, g6 did the same thing. Everyone is copying the iPhone because it's the best looking phone AINEC. Besides it still stands apart like the 6P and others while still looking premium and not plastic. So lg is finally being smart while also innovating more than anyone else.

I and many others are looking at LG for the first time, at least seriously, over Samsung, iPhone and others. And really we are the target market because there is a reason iPhone and Samsung sell more phones than everyone else.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] yurushi:
At first I was sceptical about the design but after using it for a week, the design grew on me. I thought 5.3 was a bit small but it actually feels very comfortable to hold. I still prefer a bigger size phone but this one should be good. I got the chance to look at all the colours, and I'd say the Titan one is the best, following with the pink, gold then silver.

Here's something to drool over ?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
I think 5.3" is a good size phone, but my problem is just how large the phone is in relation to the screen size. I mean just look at it compared to the nearly identical display size 5.2" G2:

5.2" G2: 138.5 x 70.9 x 8.9

5.3" G5: 149.4 x 73.9 x 7.7

For a phone with only a 0.1" larger display, it's a heck of a lot larger physically.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] yurushi:
I remember playing around with the G2, I picked the Nexus 5 over it but I did like the feel of the G2 better. I'm a 6ft fella that has an average hand size. The phone literally sits comfortable in my hand, and my hand can wrap around the phone without a problem. I think of it like the G3 but a bit smaller.

I'm not sure if this will help but trust me, if you like the feel of the G2 and G3, you would like the feel of this phone. It's really light as well haha :P
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] refedit:
I have to admit.

I will only consider to buy G5 instead of S7 because of 3.0 Fast Charge, USB 3.0 Type-C connector and SD 820 CPU. I know, a lot of PROS.

But esteticly... :(:(:(:crying::crying::crying:
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] numpea:
yeah me too and a removable battery

i think he will look better with a case a saw few of them and looks much better, you'll put a case on the S7 it doesn't really matter
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] refedit:
if you don't know what to do with at least one of those G5, you can send me one plz :p

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] queso_burrito:
What was your impression of the build quality? Some reviewers have said that it feels too light or cheaply put together. Did you have opportunity to test out the mechanism that allow the bottom to detach?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] devsk:
Definitely not ugly and boring! I think G5 is my next phone. It is the best of the current lot of phones.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] kiosk123:
I will buy G5, but i wish that it will had manual mode for video and cinema video mode....
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] yurushi:
Build quality is excellent in my opinion, I agree with the journalist saying it's light because it really is, especially taking the bottom part off but it's definitely not cheap. I think they're not use to a light metal phone :P Yeah I was working for LG at MWC, I had to detach the bottom part every 30 seconds but even the amount of time I took it apart, the phone was still in prestige condition. No loose gaps or anything odd looking about the design.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Scorpion34:
The Nexus 6P looks NOTHING like the iPhone 6/6S Plus. They are very easy to distinguish from each other. Especially from the back. A lot of others do seem to be mimicking Apple, but def not Huawei.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] oconnell84:
Love how everyone talks about the S7 as an option yet forgets how horrible touchwiz is.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] queso_burrito:
Thanks! Good to know
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
Having had the G2, G3, G4, S6, and Note 5, I can tell you that Touchwiz is a lot better than LG's UI. Especially now that you can use themes - the material dark theme is amazing on Touchwiz.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] oconnell84:
That's a valid point. For the average user it's a great UI. But Samsung is like a PC, you need high end specs to run the UI. LG's UI is a bit more vanilla. Personal preference I would say besides the horrible user issues on the S6 directly related to their touchwiz UI.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] geoff5093:
LG is as far from vanilla as you can get. I'd call Touchwiz more vanilla than LG's. Many people are thinking back to Touchwiz on the S3, S4, S5 days. With the S6 they did a major overhaul and it looks a lot nicer.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] oconnell84:
Agree to disagree but thank you for your points. Once I can play with a Galaxy S7 I'll give it another chance and see if my perspective can be changed.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] superawesomeme:
It reminds me of Bender from Futurama.

It's a really ugly design IMO. It's put me off LG now. I'm fairly happy with my white G3 (despite being plasticy) but when I decide to move on it won't be with LG. I'm really hoping WileyFox bring out a flagship phone. Their phones are beautiful.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsw5700:
G2, G3, G4 all very nice looking Phones, why the hell have they released this ugly old thing, waiting for P9, HTC 10 now (sigh)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] frankgreimes:
Thought the G4 with the leather back looked gorgeous

I wanted physical buttons but man is that modular genius. I mean think about all the capabilities for the future.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] superawesomeme:
It's a good idea just not executed very well. The all metal and glass, rounded design is nice, a step in the right direction towards a more slimline device, but then it's as if the aesthetics of the phone have been compromised in favour of the practicality of this little module quirk.

If you're going to carry around a camera module, you could just as easily carry around an actual camera - they're inexpensive and have better zoom functionality, etc.

If you need more power on the go then a power bank is going to cost you significantly less than a replacement battery, have up to triple the capacity and be compatible with your other devices too.

Then there's Bender's eyes protruding out of the back and suddenly any attempt at making it slim and sexy is null and void.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] tango007:
I dont think so

South Korean smartphone maker LG latest flagship LG G5 recently got theBest New Smartphone award at the 2016 Mobile World Congress (MWC) in Barcelona last month for its innovative approach. The device houses a 2800mAh battery that slides out from the bottom of the phone, leaving a slot that can be used to insert various modules for enhanced DSLR camera controls, better sound quality, a virtual reality viewer and much more.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] superawesomeme:

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Semantics:
One thing that people are noticing who have used the device is the gap where the bottom mod pulls off doesn't really close flush to the phone. Might be something you folks keep a close eye out for when you get the phone.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] cal777flyer:
I have noticed that too. That is certainly a concern. I will post pics and provide feedback when I get my preorder G5.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Sammae7:
OLED has better blacks and more saturated colors but LED has better whites and tends to be sharper.

Not to mention OLED suffers burn in. I'm quite happy they stuck with LED.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Locklear308:
IPS for the win, always better. And... Ugly? What? This phone looks great, and thank GOD they got rid of those dang back buttons. Dumbest design choice since removing microSD on some phones. The G5 is the future of phones, metal with removable batteries, and modules! That's the future, modules. I'm so pumped.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] superawesomeme:
The back buttons are the only thing I miss from my G3. The G5 looks fine from the front and the metal is nice, it's just the goofy visor protruding from the back and that hideous camera add-on.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] gsw5700:
Yeah.. Its ugly and doesn't offer much (without friends) Looking forward to seeing Flex 3 Spec

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Killua96:
Nope, lg said only what you had already said, two devices this year and no more g flex devices.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] FalconFX:
Its just looks straight up ugly to me. It looks like plastic. Way too big for its screen size. Compare ot to even S7Edge its almost smaller in every dimension. The back is just bad looking no two ways about it to me.

The software still looks horrible, and they removed what many useful features (dual window, app drawer, etc...)

Battery is pretty bad, i dont need to repace my battery if it lasts all day.

To me, this entire phone is ignoring real issues with smartphones and introducing a bunch of niche gimmicky features.

The s7edge just delivered on every issue a phone ever had. So yeah S7Edge for me
