Consider Cricket or MetroPCS

Cricket is AT&T (I believe best overall coverage but will vary locally) and MetroPCS is T-Mobile. It is true T-Mobile agressively expanded in 2015 on LTE band 12 and is a real contender now depending on where you are. I recently got in on a group plan at Cricket and I pay $24/mo for 2.5GB which is plenty for me. That is less than half of what I was paying month to month at VZW and 1/4 of what I was paying VZW before my contract was up. MetroPCS has a really good 2 line x 3GB deal a couple months ago for $60 so shop around.

HTC M9's can be found on amazon new for as low as $300 if you watch it but that's a bit above my budget at the moment, LG G3's can be had new for low $200's (I didn't like the call quality or this is what I would have right now but was so easy to root and CM) and brand new custom order Moto X Pure (Moto X Style is EMEA version, different LTE bands) right now with 32GB for $350 and is the best deal going if you can deal with a 5.7" screen. I can't hack the 5.7" screen so I have to pass on that.

Me, I'm saving my Cricket savings to put toward something next year, I am eyeing the HTC 10 (when it is not $700) or maybe the Galaxy S7 G930F (International edition - again once it is sub $500) depending on what XDA devs can do with it (forget US version they will all be locked up tight). Study up on LTE bands.

LTE frequency band allocation and descriptions

And choose wisely. Generally AT&T uses LTE bands 2,4,5,17,29,30 with emphasis on 17. 29 and 30 are supplemental and may or may not be in your area and is impossible to find out. T-Mobile uses 2,4,12 with emphasis on 12. VZW uses 4,13 with emphasis on 13. Sprint is hopeless don't even consider it. LTE 4 is almost everywhere and is the only band you cannot live without.

The SCH-I545 only shares LTE band 4 with AT&T and T-Mobile network but AT&T is generally good enough and their 3G (HSPA+) network is the best which is almost as good as VZW LTE which was never very impressive where I am. For me I actually am getting a little bit of speed increase with Cricket in my daily routes.

Ok, that's all I have time for hope this helps. Put in the time and your education will be with you always and will serve you well.

Thank you [MENTION=7055541]Zacharee1[/MENTION] for the post. This is not a reply, just a simple rant.

It's good to vent a little. When I first came to XDA looking for help with my VZW S4 I got little to none. In fact there was an overall petulant and fractious feeling. Over time I realized why. Everybody took some bumps and bruises. We came in with high hopes, only to have them shattered. Through trial and error, and a few frantic nights ( "Odinned" back to stock 17 times), I have learned a lot. The attitude of "if you don't know what a blah, blah is then don't mess with it" is fallacious as most people have the ability to learn. Patience is the issue. If an individual does not have the patience to sit and read, sometimes all night, that is when they get in trouble.

I feel that the VZW S4 forum is breeding ground for savvy and informed user's who will take what they've learned and transition to their next device confidently. I know I did.

Edit: Maybe you should change the title to "Rant Thread";)

Hi all, I was wondering if anyone would be kind and trustworthy enough to buy and ship to the UK a Green Camo S7 Active without contract? It's a major ask and I'd PayPal you first but I don't know where to start as I really want to upgrade my S6 Active to the S7 Active :D

I think the Green Camo edition looks freaking awesome! Install Nova Launcher + EZ Package Disabler on there coupled with what seems to be an insanely indestructive smartphone seems way too good to pass up and I cannot wait for a second hand one to become available over eBay which could be a very long time away!

Please note, I don't just take anyones word for trust over this large amount money sent over! This is about the only way I'll get one If I am able too lol.

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
I found a possible root tool, but the file is a .cpp and I am having an extremely difficult time compiling this. Please respond if you are able to help!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] f_scott_scrambled_eggs:
I could help with this. I'm running W7 and would probably be using Visual Studio to compile the executable. Also, I have a Sprint G5, and work in a service and repair center, so if things went south, I would be able to order myself a replacement should it get bricked.

How are you trying to compile the .cpp file?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] solitarywarrior1:
I also am setup to compile cpp. What kind of trouble are you having compiling?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
Here is the file I have been trying to compile: https://github.com/offensive-security/exploit-database/blob/master/platforms/android/local/39340.cpp

PLEASE test this out and tell me if you get anything!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] solitarywarrior1:
Looks like it needs to be compiled on Android or Linux for this to work. I just tried to compile it using the IDE I have on my phone and it looks like there's a bug in the code with a char pointer being cast as an integer. Is that the issue you've been having with compiling too?

I could probably correct it, but I want to make sure that you're not having a different problem.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
Same problem I'm having...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] solitarywarrior1:
Hmm, what compiler are you using and did you write this code yourself or get it from somewhere?

Do you know if it's the location of the char the pointer points to that we need to cast as an int, or if we're trying to cast the char itself as one?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
I did not write this code, I found it while browsing through Android exploits. This particular one was never assigned an official CVE so it might be unpatched.

And I have no idea what that second question means. This is my first time using cpp
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] solitarywarrior1:
A CHAR POINTER is a unit of data in C that stores the MEMORY ADDRESS of a variable of type CHARACTER

The code attempts to CAST (or pass the data into a function as if it were a different datatype) the CHAR POINTER as an INTEGER

Basically, I'm wondering if we want the address of the character that the pointer points to passed into the function as an integer, or the character itself.

I hope this explanation makes sense!
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] f_scott_scrambled_eggs:
We're already over my head with this, but I've still got a disposable G5 to try it out on once we get it compiled, if needed.

What will this final output of this be? Is it an APK, or something that's run in the command line? Seems like it will allow us to get elevation in the shell so we can execute root commands, provided that the autorotate vulnerability is present in the ZV3/4 firmware.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
Thanks for that explanation, but I'm sorry I have no idea which one of those it is. Have you tried compiling it yet?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] solitarywarrior1:
I'll have to edit the code before I can compile it (the compiler is throwing an error because the code is trying to do something either impossible or ambiguous) that's why I was asking my question above. I'll try a couple of things and report back later.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
Thank you so much, this is all extremely helpful! Please keep us/me updated on what you are trying to do
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] solitarywarrior1:
https://github.com/solitarywarrior1/G5-Root/blob/master/exploit.cpp

I've fixed the code so that it compiles.

All I did was replace a couple of casts to INT with the atoi() function that converts a character to an integer.

EDIT: We might be able to compile the code as originally posted if we compile on a non 64-bit device, as that error message is affected by the size of the memory address: 4 bytes for a 32-bit machine, 8 bytes for a 64-bit one.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] solitarywarrior1:
You'll need to compile it on Android, methinks.

All of those elements that are throwing errors are android specific, I'll bet.

I use c4droid to compile on android, it's excellent and had git support.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
Ah OK, how do I do this?

EDIT: Just saw your edit, I'm trying to compile now
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:

It also gives me some warnings while compiling about "implicit conversion changes signedness: 'int' to 'size_t' (aka 'unsigned int)" and some "macro is not used" errors.

Can you help me fix these?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] solitarywarrior1:
Huh, it compiled perfectly using c4droid on my phone. I DID install the gcc plugin, did you as well?

[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ariac Konrel:
Are you on the oldest OTA update? Perhaps use the KDZ method and go back to that to try out some exploits.

More chance of stuff being unpatched.

Jcase has ZERO interest in LG anymore due to a lot of ****wits basically.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
There are no official KDZs available for the Sprint version as of now, and LG starting implementing a "no rollback" feature with the G4 and no one has tested it out with the G5 yet to see if it works. If people CAN roll back then I will absolutely do that and start development on that, but other than that I will only be working on ZV4 software.
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ariac Konrel:

Sprint has a TOT released, check it out here (as well as the software download to do the downgrade): http://lgg5root.com/lg-g5-stock-firmwares/

A little guide in case you don't know how to use the software: http://lgg5root.com/lg-g5-unroot/how-to-unrootunbrick-lg-g5-with-stock-factory-firmware/

Just make sure to do a manual factory reset after as always (though, mine booted fine without it but still).
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
If I CAN successfully rollback, then root should be soon, but are you positive that it won't brick?
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ariac Konrel:
I can never be positive about anything, though considering:

- It's a KDZ method.

- Uses LG UP

- Has been tested enough that we haven't seen a PSA on "DON'T ROLLBACK VIA KDZ WITH THE G5"

I believe it's safe.

My G5 just finished rolling back successfully, it was nice and easy. :)
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Honestly Annoying:
Alright, looks like I'm going for it! Wish me luck...
[LG G5 Guides, News, & Discussion] Ariac Konrel:

[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
I've been running V4A since I first unlocked my 10, and it works fairly well, but not as well as when I have the Nexus 6 and Note5. Although you can flash the standard V4A in TWRP and have it work, you need to a modified version that patches the audio config files in order to not lose BoomSound or Audio Profiles. You can find the flashable ZIP that patches here: http://xdaforums.com/htc-10/how-to/htc-10-audio-thread-t3358064 (v2.1)

My primary reason for needing it is to boost the volume output to my car through Android Auto, which is Bluetooth powered. Play Music is so low when used this way, that I need to keep my radio near 30 (45 max) in order to get decent sound. Same car (2015 Sonata w/ Infinity radio) and the Note5 would achieve the same quality closer to 15/45.

The 2.1 zip I mentioned above seems to break all system sounds when applying a ROM update, but not every update. When it happens, I need to dirty flash back to the latest Viper full ROM, then take the OTA again, then flash V4A and hope it doesn't break. I'd prefer some other options to raise Bluetooth volume levels if anyone can recommend an alternative.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jcrompton:
Have you tried any other mods like AcoustiX_Audio_ZeroInfinity ?

I feel like that increases Bluetooth output

I'm on AT&T and am currently using IceROM .... and specific reasons you use Viper? PM is ok if you'd rather
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
I have not. Is there a version that maintains BoomSound function? That's why I've previously stuck with the thread I linked above. A vanilla V4A install works, at the expense of BoomSound, and I'm trying to avoid losing it.
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] jcrompton:
I wouldn't swear to it but I believe that mod now maintains Boom Sound

check my edited question on my previous post if you have a minute
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
Used to run Viper because it was a godsend on the Nexus 6 and its horrible audio setup. On the 10, I'm using it for Bluetooth volume more than anything else. The slight boost to speakers is nice with the Extra Loud toggle, but I can go without it.

Do you have a link to the specific mod you're talking about? I'll try flashing it later tonight to see how it works.

Here is link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2211163&highlight=boom+sound

Sorry my ADHD made my question not understandable --- I was more asking about ViperROM (not the Viper4A) ........ but I agree with what you said about V4A
[HTC 10 Questions & Answers] NotATreoFan:
Gotcha!

For me, I like maximum customization options, and for me Viper has offered that since I had the One M7 a few years back. When I made the decision to unlock my 10, I went straight to ViperROM, so my experience for this device is currently limited to a week on stock, and then Viper for custom.

But I have no doubt that each ROM currently available has pros and cons, Viper included, and it's up to everyone to give them a shot and use what works best for them.
[General Questions and Answers] vleesevlons:
Hey,

I don't know in which forum I am supposed to place this topic and I thought this would be a safe bet. I'm sorry if I was wrong.

I was wondering if it's possible to play multiple players at once. For example, I'm playing YouTube in the background and my own sound player as well or maybe Spotify at the same time, is that possible? If I do it now one player gets paused by the other, so I assume I'm supposed to some change some setting of sorts. Or is it different per app, is it an individual setting per app?

Any kind of answer is welcome. Thanks anyway!

Motorola came out with a phone called Moto X Pure Edition where it could easily be unlocked.

Does anyone know if the Moto Z can be rooted or the Moto Z Force? I'm hoping so, because I thought this was the successor to the Moto X Pure Edition which was easily rooted.

If it can't be rooted will the unlocked versions that come out in the fall be rootable? and will they work on Verizon Wireless on all their bands?

Thanks!

This is all that I have found http://www.droid-life.com/2016/06/09/unlocked-moto-z-will-gsm/

If they really make that kind of a move, then that's the last nail in the coffin for Motorola, I kissed Samsung Galaxy phones away for the same reason, no root, no boot loader unlock, will not ever buy their phones until they make them rootable.

So I guess the next best phone on the market is a Nexus?

Though if the Moto phone's bootloader is locked but it can be rooted then I'll buy it, but root is the most important feature to me.
