[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DragonQ:
My G900F's been requiring pretty much daily reboots to stop it grinding to a halt over the past few months (although tasks like loading Google Maps is slow even at the best of times). I've tried in the past to check what's running in the background using Simple System Monitor but it's always useless: it shows ~50% CPU usage constantly but no single process using more than 1-2%. This time I decided to have a look at which processes were running in the background using the Developer menu instead. It showed that both Trebuchet and Pixel Launcher were actively running, despite the fact that I exclusively use Nova Launcher. I stopped both processes and suddenly my phone was, well, not horrendously slow any more. I've since rebooted and those processes are no longer running - I am not sure if something triggered them to run before or if disabling them persists over reboots.

I don't know if this will last or help anyone else but thought I'd mention it. :)
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] kurtn:
What exactly did you do in developer menu?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] DragonQ:
I went to Running Services and saw the Trebuchet and Pixel Launcher services in there. I clicked on Trebuchet, then clicked "Stop" on anything there that was running. I then clicked "Settings" and removed notification access for both Trebuchet and Pixel Launcher. I then went back, found the Pixel Launcher service and stopped everything in there too.

Currently only 3 apps on my phone have notification access: Android Auto, Nova Launcher, and Twilight.

I have the latest nightly installed to an SM-G900T3. The only issue I am experiencing is that the phone does not connect to the wireless network (AT&T).

I didn't test the phone with the SIM card before installing LineageOS because I wasn't aware that it was a T3.

Is this the expected behavior? Did I get the wrong phone?

S5 SM-G900T3 & AT&T Compatibility - No Network

Edit: [MENTION=5344035]openletter[/MENTION] - Where you told by the seller that your S5 SM-G900T3 was SIM unlocked?

AFAIK the S5 SM-G900T3 while requiring his own stock Samsung OS has the same specs as the S5 SM-G900T which is a gsm phone & is compatible with the AT&T network.

LineageOS klte for the SM-G900T can be installed on the SM-G900T3 because it does not include the model specific firmware like modem, bootloader, etc.

Check this specifications comparison on gsmarena between the impossible to bootloader unlock S5 G900A AT&T branded vs. S5 SM-G900T. The G900T has all the network bands of the G900A + a few more.

In LineageOS 16.0: Settings > About phone > press on Android version 9 > what is your Baseband version?

The Samsung firmware site updato.com uses the label "Phone" for the modem/baseband/radio in their respective download pages.

Searching for the most recent Samsung stock firmware for the SM-G900T3 >>> G900T3UVU3GQC2 > Phone: G900T3UVU3GQC2.

The higher the last 4 alphanumeric characters, the more recent it is.

You could flash the most recent stock Samsung OS for your device as a troubleshooting step which will update the modem & bootloader then check if you have data network access & write down the working APN settings and use them in LineageOS if the APN is not setup correctly automatically.

Then check No Network, No IMEI, No SIM & EFS Partition Restore Fix and make a EFS partition backup after installing TWRP & before flashing LineageOS.

Or try to restore a EFS partition backup made on that S5 if you have one.

The SM-G900T3 is a special case & besides requiring to enable "OEM Bootloader Unlock" in Developer options to be able to flash TWRP you may have to T-Mobile SIM unlock the device according to this post.

See threads like this one if when in stock Samsung it blocks your AT&T SIM: Unlock SIM Carrier- Galaxy S5 (Tested, non-root, Free) or get a T-Mobile SIM?

Check also T-Mobile Support - SIM unlock policy.

"...I didn't test the phone with the SIM card before installing LineageOS..." - That was a mistake. ;)

***

"...I have the latest nightly installed..." - BTW "latest" or "most recent" will not mean a thing for future readers after the next update so taking 2-3 seconds to type the exact build date that you are talking about is good practice IMO.

Bugs may be created by a merged patch in a given build date for a given device & solved in an other build so that's why the build date is an important troubleshooting info.

Yep, looks like the T3 is SIM locked. I have been using a T that has a minor screen issue and that one was a cinch to flash and "just worked" from day one, which is why I didn't bother testing the SIM on the new one, ugh.

Baseband is latest. I did verify that one.

The "free" Unlock SIM Carrier post instructions require a paid software or recommended finding a "crack" of the software, which is like a top 5 method to get a virus on one's computer.

I think my best bet is just find a good condition T and sell the T3, as hard as it is to find a good condition T.

Thank you for the help!

Re: S5 SM-G900T3 T-Mobile SIM Unlock

Thanks :good: for the Thanks and you are welcome.

If your S5 G900T3 is in very good condition I would not throw the towel so fast.

Considering the trouble of selling it & finding + buying a good G900T, is $25 for an unlock code as described by [MENTION=3695297]Youdoofus[/MENTION] (an XDA moderator) in this post worth it?

How about a remote unlock service for $10? Try searching on eBay with those keywords and contact sellers with a reputation of 99% or more with a refund policy, even if they mention other Samsung models but not the S5 specifically: t-mobile sim unlock code s5.

How about T-Mobile Support - SIM unlock policy and contacting their Customer Service? Maybe they are lose in their unlock policy for older devices if the original owner does not owe them money?

Or could you contact the previous owner if he/she bought it from T-Mobile & he/she could ask T-Mobile for an unlock code?

***

Please use S5 G900T3 or SM-G900T3 in your posts instead of T3 so they can come up in a web or thread search by the next user with a similar problem with the same model.

Hi all,

It's been several months that I'm using an "old" Galaxy S5 with LOS 16 as a GPS for work without a SIM. About a week ago my local carrier gifted me a SIM with some monthly data with my new ADSL connection and I've inserted the SIM in the S5. Sadly I noticed that it only connects in H+ (3G) and when I select LTE it shows no signal at all. I've tried upgrading the baseband with no luck. Actual BB is G900FXX1CQK3 and LOS is yesterday nightly freshly installed.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
S5 G900F - No LTE

Did you update only the 3G modem or the other firmware too?

See S5 Odin Flashable Modem & Bootloader

"... Actual BB is G900FXX1CQK3" - So you have a S5 G900F right?

What is your network provider? Did you check your APN settings & compared to the provider's recommended APN?

Setting > Network & internet > Mobile network > Advanced panel > scroll down to Access Point Names. You can long press an APN's name to edit or 3-dots > New APN.

Setting > Network & internet > Mobile network > Advanced panel > what is the setting in Preferred network type? In my S5 G900M klte it's GSM/WCDMA/LTE.

I used XDA Senior Member [MENTION=7978913]fitittome[/MENTION] file to upgrade the BB with ODIN (Baseband: G900FXXU1CQK3 Bootloader: G900FXXU1CSA1).

My provider is TIM (Italian main provider). The same SIM on an iPhone works on 4G flawlessly. APN is set using the provider configuration page on their site. TIM gives free access up to 4G base speed, to use 4.5G or 5G you need specific plans even if you have compatible phones.

Preferred Network was first set like yours, and goes on H+. Then i tried "LTE" only and it doesn't even register on the network, no signal at all.

LOS version is 16.0-20200112-NIGHTLY-klte
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
[MENTION=7978913]fitittome[/MENTION]'s modem/bootloader package for the S5 G900F is good.

If the troubleshooting info you provided is exact then I am out of suggestions except compare the network provider's LTE bands to the specs of your S5: https://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s5-6033.php#g900f

To confirm or rule out a hardware problem you could flash the most recent stock Samsung OS for your S5.

Good.

Write down or screenshot the working APN settings.

Done the backups, installed LOS. At first it showed LTE, and speedtests confirmed it was ok. For testing purpose I changed the setings to LTE only and... lost forever. It never connected to LTE anymore.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] curiousrom:
"I changed the setings to LTE only" - Why?

Switch to GSM only, WiFi off, turn off the phone, await a few minutes, turn back on, switch to: Setting > Network & internet > Mobile network > Advanced panel > Preferred network type > GSM/WCDMA/LTE.

Still not working? Use APN info from stock.

Android Bump Security String to 2020-01-05

FYI the monthly security patch Bump Security String to 2020-01-05 for 16.0 was merged & is included in LineageOS 16.0 for the S5 klte + variants build 2020-01-16 or newer as you can see in the klte changelog: https://download.lineageos.org/klte/changes/

Check Android Security Bulletin - January 2020 for details about the security fixes.

I updated to LineageOS 2020-01-16 via the built-in LineageOS OTA Updater a Galaxy S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0 klte running build 2020-01-06 + Open GApps Pico + LineageOS AddonSU, no custom kernel or system mods of any kind & everything went smoothly as usual.

After the automatic reboot as seen in the screenshot: > Settings > About phone > press on Android version 9 > Android security patch level: January 5, 2020.

View attachment 4927863

The Vendor security patch level remains @ August 1, 2017 because the vendor is Samsung & it is not publishing security patches for it's S5 proprietary hardware related blobs anymore since August 2017.

Thank you to the Lineage Team & Mr. haggertk for keeping our old S5 up to date. :good::cool:

When To Update?

Just because the LineageOS automated builder is churning out nightly builds for 16.0 @ the present it's not a reason to update daily. Look in the changelog for your device to see if updating is worth the trouble.

Especially with many LineageOS devs working on the upcoming 17.1 the number of changes applicable to 16.0 have dropped dramatically.

LineageOS Updater > 3-dots > Preferences where you can set the Auto updates check to Never, Once a day, Once a week or Once a month.

You could choose Never & check manually once in a while.

BTW you can create a direct link to Updater & much more like to Privacy Guard Advanced for example with the LineageOS Settings widget.

After the upcoming LineageOS 17.1 is launched (don't ask for an ETA please), the 16.0 automated build schedule will probably be changed to once a week only and 17.1 set to daily builds because new LineageOS versions often have bugs or new devices being added to the roster so several patches may be merged daily like it was the case when 16.0 got launched.

Bootloop

Some users, including me, reported fail to boot if you select install the TWRP app when asked in TWRP. That app is fluff, wants to start at boot, run in the background, collect data & is not necessary anyway because the TWRP updates are not frequent & it's easy enough to update manually.

So go to TWRP > Settings > General and disable: Prompt to install TWRP app if not installed.

Starting from scratch and doing a S5 super clean install is the best for a trouble free setup.

Is this a bug??

Problem: Usually when i receive notifications be it an email, text and/or Whatsapp msgs on my lock screen I am awarded the luxury to swipe away notification or double tap to open corresponding app. Now the problem starts when i go to double tap said notification via lockscreen. I tap it and it just goes to a black screen with backlight turned on for back button and window selection button. I have had this happen for numerous times for about 3 weeks so I decided to put in a ticket today to see maybe this is a bug. I have two g900T phones with same TWRP, SAME nightly. Also, I just updated to January 21st nightly and it happened again with both phones.

Can he Reproduce Problem?

I have not pen pointed when it happens yet nor can I reproduce problem. But it has been happening daily. Not to every notification that comes through either. This is more sporadic.

Re: TWRP App Causing Bootloop or Fail To Boot

You should not. I don't feel less stupid after learning that the TWRP app causes bootloop or fail to boot. ;)

Knowledge & intelligence are not the same thing.

***

Selecting install TWRP app in TWRP worked on LineageOS 14.1 and 15.1 & failed in 16.0 because LineageOS 16.0+ and Android 9.0+ are more secure & enforce app permissions denials more thoroughly.

After making a full TWRP backup: from a continuous logcat captured as described in GApps Bootloop & Logcat on LineageOS 16.0 on Galaxy S5 G900M that I captured for testing purposes after selecting install the TWRP app as a System app in TWRP (screenshot) & rebooting to System:

--------- beginning of crash

11-20 04:02:56.647 574 574 E AndroidRuntime: *** FATAL EXCEPTION IN SYSTEM PROCESS: main

From the full TWRP backup, I restored only the System & Data partitions to go back to my current setup as the other partitions were not affected by this fail to boot test.

So to all TWRP users, as posted above: go to TWRP > Settings > General and disable: Prompt to install TWRP app if not installed! :eek:

S5 G900V - No IMEI, No Network Fix

[MENTION=7423542]dcarvil[/MENTION] is right & the S5 G900V is notorious for needing an EFS partition restore after flashing LineageOS 16.0.

But the S5 G900V is a special case which needs a hack to unlock the bootloader & if you flash the stock Samsug OS you will have to go through the painful process of unlocking it again.

See S5 - No Network, No IMEI, No SIM & EFS Partition Restore Fix.

If you want to update only the modem + some other firmwares but not the bootloader on your S5 G900V see S5 Odin Flashable Modem & Bootloader.

Please report back if you solve the problem or not. :cool:

Boot Fail - Open GApps Android 9.0 Builds 2020-01-22, 23, 24 Broken

The workaround @ the present is to use Open GApps 2020-01-17 until new builds with the fix are made.

As you can read in S5 super clean install:

You can root later at anytime so it is not necessary to do it at this stage. I prefer to install only LineageOS + GApps to keep it simple & avoid errors, boot to system, setup the device, reboot to recovery & make a full TWRP backup of that clean install then root the device.

Bootloop on new used 870F

I've got a new to me 870F that I have installed twrp 3.3.1 (klte) on via Odin. I've also rooted via CF-Auto-Root using Odin as well. I've done a "format data" as well as advanced wipe of Dalvik, System, Data, Internal Storage, and cache. Installed the current 16.0 Lineage klteactivexx zip file as well as open Gapps 9.0 current build. Installation goes fine, however stays on the "blue arc" with the counterclockwise bubble forever on start. Zip files are installed from external_sd.

You seem to have done a proper clean install.

See TWRP App Causing Bootloop or Fail To Boot one page back.

"...however stays on the "blue arc" with the counterclockwise bubble" - That's the LineageOS boot animation. And it's teal like in the attachment, right?

What [MENTION=8031265]kurtn[/MENTION] suggested above is to use a smaller Open GApps like Pico as a troubleshooting step. Because it contains less apps it has less chance of errors caused by them.

There is a report in the Open GApps thread here about a defective Google search app that may cause a bootloop on some devices.

See Open GApps Wiki - Package Comparison.

Or try with Micro build 2020-02-04 or older.

But then you said that you get a bootloop w/o GApps hence my guess that you chose the awful TWRP app when offered in TWRP.
