[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meistfx:
I've been a HTC phone person for a while and thinking of switching to a S5 my only problem is I hear the bootloader is locked on VZW Phones?

Now see I'm buying a NEW unlocked G900V Samsung S5 off ebay and gonna trim my sim from my current phone to fit in it, but before I do this I want to unlock the bootloader and then root.

I dont have the phone yet, but its sold as brand new, and I dont have the model, cid, android version, any sort of info until I have the device in my hands.

I watched a few videos saying its easy to unlock the bootloader and root and most people are using touch philz bootloader, and I've read a lot on there saying there is not bootloader access on this device and only a safestrap recovery option :(

someone said to use geohots towelroot but then someone said he works for google now and its not supported anymore after june 2014 or some ****?

also I seen this video showing me a pretty quick method to unlock the bootloader/root

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKrFxuA5apg

but noticed the video and site was posted before june so Idk if that method still works or not?

any one in this thread know whats the best method to go for and what to do on what works and what I can do with this device or not?

EDIT: found this saying the bootload has been unlocked http://www.xda-developers.com/verizon-galaxy-s5-bootloader-has-been-unlocked/ but still cant find any info on how to do this been searching for 2 hours but also on 2 hours of sleep so idk any help would be obliged
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leotakacs:
You'll need to find out the CID of the device

Ask the seller to check for you.

If it starts with 11 then you cannot unlock the bootloader. If it starts with 15 then you can unlock it.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meistfx:
Ok I'll try and ask but how do you even find out the CID of the device in case they ask, because I am pretty tech savvy and I don't even know. Samsung phones and CID numbers are all new to me.

I think I read someone where that the CID number changes if u use root on a post somewhere am I wrong ?

anyways if its not a 15 the phones pretty much worthless?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meistfx:
Bump: I asked the sellers to look for me and they always tell me they can not download any apps to the phone...Where do we find this in the settings without downloading anything how can I tell if it's a genuine Samsung chip quickly and easy or not
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eodmule:
AFAIK I think the only way is to use an app like EMMC Brickbug or to pull it via adb. There isn't a way to tell otherwise.

I just came across this offer from Reddit! https://m.reddit.com/r/androidapps/comments/4x8j7r/bk_package_disabler_samsung_share_promo_codes/

BK Package Disabler app is from a Vietnamese company(play store address?) and the dev is giving 100 codes for the app which costs $0.27 on Play Store:

http://www.play-code.xyz/ShowPromotion?promotionId=1472404208382 The code is not a scam as may be suggested by the link.. There's like 88 codes available. I got it, but I'm already using the more popular original Package Disabler Pro. I don't know if the app is a SCAM though!

[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] jordy787:
Currently have a OnePlus 3 but the xa ultra caught my eye..how is the battery life ? Sot?

Are the cameras any good?

How's the phone overall?
[Sony Xperia XA Ultra Questions & Answers] dannejanne:
I get 4-6 hours screen on time mostly close to 5 with my usage. Battery life is OK but not more. Bad for a 6" phone.

The cameras are very good both of them and produce fine pictures. No so much to complain about.

Overall it's a nice phone but it has stutters here and there. The Mediatek processor doesn't quite cut it compared to Snapdragon counterparts. The performance is much better with the Oneplus 3.

[Huawei Ascend G7 Questions & Answers] ZyberXDA:
I was confused by seeing a new firnware version at huawei website places 5th of august 2016 that ends with C636B320 and if i google that it looks like it could be android 6.0?

There is no version number written on the website:

http://consumer.huawei.com/my/support/products/downloads/detail/ascend-g7-my.htm?id=86353

I tried installing it on my phone but I always get installation failed, maybe because my phone is from a different region..

Anyway would be great if they bring an official android 6 update for our G7!
[Huawei Ascend G7 Questions & Answers] miz_pimp:
The firmware you linked to is Lollipop.

Android 6.0 is currently only official in Turkey and China, but we are still waiting for the European version to be released.

Unfortunately, we don't know how long we will need to wait for it, if it is ever released.

Also, you are correct that you are unable to install the update since you are only able to install updates from your own region, or carrier (if your device is branded).
[Huawei Ascend G7 Questions & Answers] ZyberXDA:
Ok I see, a download link of 6.0 is availible on this site, but will probably not work because of different region..

But I will try it, i'm dowloading it now.
[Huawei Ascend G7 Questions & Answers] DoomZday21:
Was it successfull? I am still waiting for this update to be released for european devices.

UPDATE (11/28/2007): AIM Productions has released a fix for the native Bluetooth issues. I've thoroughly tested the new version between all my MS BT stack-based WM5 and WM6 Pocket PC's and Smartphones (Universal, Wizard, Vox, Oxygen). It works flawlessly. Just remember to make the server device discoverable so that it's found by the client.

All in all, now, you can safely rely on the native Bluetooth multiplayer mode as well - as long as you have the MS BT stack (and not that of Widcomm / Broadcom). Thumbs up for the quick & excellent fix, AIM Productions!
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] stinkelefant:
Hello Community,

I got my Note 3 Pro (SD) one week ago.

Unfortunatly I recieved the Phone with the MIUI Global Stable 7.3.6.0.0 (LHOCNDD).

I was looking what Original MIUI Stock Roms also exist.

There is a Global Dev, a Global Stable LHOCNDD, LHOMIDD, a Chinese Stable and Chinese Dev.

Can someone please help me to clarify which Rom is for what. I also would be happy about any recommondations of a rom.

Thanks for your help guys!

Bets regards,

stinkelefant

P.S Maybe I should add that I live in Austria.
[Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Questions & Answers] mr.loverlover:
You should do some research, as these questions have already been answered.

But to clarify it short.

There are:

Global: stable and dev (for International users, Google services included)

China: stable and dev (for chineese users, no Google play services, a lot of chineese apps).

Stable means stable, updated probably once a month

Dev is updated once a week. May contain new features and bugs.

So its your choice which one you want to use.

Hello,

I´ve bought z3compact (few days ago) - but I dont know device history.

Is there a way, how to check that bootloader is locked or unlocked?

Reason: picture qualitty is terrible, but i dont know why (lost dmr key?)

os: marchmallow 6.0.1 / fw .291

Is there a way for better photo qualitty?

thank you

In the phone dialer type *#*#service#*#* and go to the services tests -> security menu. You will see 9 lines starting with MARLIN. If you find [OK][ACTIVE] behind the lines, your bootloader is locked. If you read [UNKNOWN] it is unlocked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 5] tdk0117:
This link here says the root method is TowelRoot, but I thought that was patched? If so, is there another method?

Since this is an AT&T phone and I'm using a Cricket SIM, how do I get to Lollipop? I'm assuming you need Lollipop firmware before you can flash a Lollipop ROM, right? I was thinking of flashing TMS 5 and the instructions tell us to follow Flashfire. I just want to make sure this is the up-to-date and correct process?

-Root via TowelRoot

-Get Flashfire and flash OF3 build (does it matter which one?)

-Follow safestrap method in the instructions of TMS5 (this method said to install recover in safestrap. Does it just do it by itself, or do we download a recovery to install?)

-Complete?

Location Injector is an XPOSED module that replaces Longitude and Latitude of existing Location objects in selected applications.

This means that you still need to have GPS or Network based Location coverage for your device in order for this module to work.

The Location Injector features:

* On Screen Joystick

* Map to select a starting point (Donation)

* Notification for easy access to Map and Joystick

This application is free to use, but some features requires our generic DONATION app to be installed. We appreciate your kind donation to support our work by installing the DONATION package from Google Play Store.

Download the module from Google Play Store
[Xposed Framework Modules] Tytanius:
It works well and I really like that my real altitude is still used (though depending on the user this could be a bad thing). I would be happy to donate if there were two things added/changed. First the movement is in short fast bursts, it's not a big deal for me but it's really annoying to watch. And second I would really like to adjust the speed, the current speed is too fast for my uses. If those issues can be addressed I will donate.

Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] muken:
Thank you for your feedback.

The joystick is actually distance sensitive, so the more you push it in one direction the more delta is added to the previous location.

In the donation pack you can change the size of the joystick to make it easier to control.

Another "workaround" is to tap the joystick once or twice a second to get a lower delta speed.

The location is injected up to 4 times every second, but that really doesn't matter if there are no new Location objects created to the application you are injecting the location data to.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Tytanius:
Could you possibly add a variable top speed then? I don't really want to have a larger joystick but it is hard for me to make it go slow. When watching my location in google maps it doesn't seem to be updating 4 times a second and it's pretty jerky but that doesn't really bother me much. I'm going to go ahead and donate now but I would love continued updates :D
[Xposed Framework Modules] muken:
I just added Max Joystick speed in version 1.6.2. I have published version 1.6.2 in Google Play Store as a Beta version. Please let me know if it works and I'll push it to Production.

[Xposed Framework Modules] EvilCalisi:
Great app! Made me donate. Could you possibly add routes with variable speed That would make this perfect.
[Xposed Framework Modules] muken:
I'm sorry, I'm not sure I'm following you. You mean that you want to click on the map and make the injected position "glide" to that position on the map over a specified time (speed)?
[Xposed Framework Modules] EvilCalisi:
That's exactly what I meant. Sorry for not making myself clear.
[Xposed Framework Modules] muken:
Good. I'll see what I can do, but it will take some time.

BTW, thanks for donating :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] cluster1:
Does it grab a GPS lock or display satelite info along with the spoofed coords?
[Xposed Framework Modules] muken:
It does request GPS Location when the map is open. However, it does not show any GPS info.

It is a passive injector, meaning it only replaces the location of existing Android Location Objects in the selected applications.
[Xposed Framework Modules] muken:
I just published version 2.0 which include your requested function. Activate it by long pressing on the map and select GLIDE and then select a speed.

Enjoy!
[Xposed Framework Modules] EvilCalisi:
You're the best, muken!

Thank you very much for you effort and dedication.
[Xposed Framework Modules] madeye88:
Thanks. Works nice and smooth. Donated for the full app.

Suggestions

*Any chance adding a way to add a favourites list. So i can save locations. Would make it easier to start up a app and land in the exact location.

*Don't know if this is possible. A way to add GPS drift at random intervals. Maybe have it as a checkbox selection so its not on as default. Others maybe wouldn't like this.

:good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] muken:
Thanks for the suggestions.

Everything is possible, the problem is having time to implement all features.

I'll consider the suggestions, but I don't make any promises.

Thanks for donating!
[Xposed Framework Modules] EvilCalisi:
Hey muken,

I believe I have found two bugs in the app.

The first one is when I have to set the speed for the glide function. They automatically appear in x,yz format, but I have to replace the commas with dots in the m/s, otherwise it'll show the message that it has to be at least 1 m/s.

The second one is when I choose to glide over a great distance (say 5 km), it'll glide in a much faster speed than what I had set in the options. It works fine for shorter distances though.
[Xposed Framework Modules] muken:
Thanks for your feedback. I'll look into it.

Where on earth are you trying this so I can debug?
[Xposed Framework Modules] muken:
I can not reproduce your first problem... I enter a speed in km/h or mi/h and m/s are calculated with a dot for me.

What device and version do you use this on?
[Xposed Framework Modules] EvilCalisi:
I've been trying to go from here:

lat -3.12566013

lon -60.02679572

to here:

lat -3.07409512

lon -60.02670318

So what happens is when I open the Glide dialog this shows up:

http://imgur.com/n91Q9T4

And if I just choose to glide this will happen:

http://imgur.com/f6VZYIF

I have to change the comma for a dot in the m/s space and it'll work, but for some reason if I glide over great distances like those in the coords, it'll glide in a much faster speed.

My device is a Xiaomi Redmi 2 Pro, running CyanogenMod 13 Nightly with Android 6.0.1, but this was happening with MIUI 7.5 running Android 5.1.1 too.
[Xposed Framework Modules] muken:
I found the problem with the comma, however the glide function need some more thinking. I'll push an update when I have a solution.
[Xposed Framework Modules] highKo:
I donated! Works pretty well. Good job!

my wishlist :) :

1. It would be nice if you could set a route instead of a single point to "glide" to

2. a calculated distance between the injected point and the destination (or the distance of the route -> see 1. )
[Xposed Framework Modules] muken:
Fix published

I've just published version 2.1 which shall fix both of your issues. Please let me know if it works for you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] muken:

Hi muken,

Thank you for this great module, it works perfectly! So it was well worth the donation. I have only one question: is it possible to make the map show as a overlay?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Ixany:
NIce application, it works fine. It deserves a donation. Which I have done ;)

I installed a new rom, Purify (cm 13) + SuperSu 2.78 + suhide 0.53 + Systemless Xposed v86.2. When I reboot my phone Note 3 (N900W8), your application doesn't work anymore. I uninstall and reinstall Pokémon Go and it's working again. Strange problem. I don't think it's related to your application because I have another application (Snorlax) that is stop working as well. I just wanted to let you know in case someone is reporting you the problem.

I'd love to have a route planning and the favorite location options as well.

Keep up the good work!
[Xposed Framework Modules] muken:
I'll have your suggestion about an overlay in mind.

Thanks for your feedback.
[Xposed Framework Modules] emilic:

[Xposed Framework Modules] muken:

Well, I doubt it has anything to do with the Location Injector, I personally don't use it in any game.
