[Q] issues with my brand new galaxy s5 - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys, i just got my galaxy s5 2 days ago,
i can tell it seems nice, but?
1- the tapping sometimes seems not callebrated!! like when i click to show the menu in data usage, it gives me the list to select/unselect the "restrict background data" but i can't select it!! same in many other menus, these menues which they changed from the press bottun hardware into a software menu to select, i can't select the ristrict background data, it is either going to above it "data roaming" or below it "enable wifi measure" how i can callebrate it? how i can make the touch work fine!!?? i even tried to use a thin pen softly many times, i just can't control some menus like the one i said about, also in messages (SMS) when trying to open a first message in the list, it opens for me "create new message instead" looks like the hit comes on the place that is above what i tap!!! any idea why?
2- i want to make the clock alarm put the das like S M T W T F S, but it keep reading starts from Monday, i've selected the regional settings correct "Dubai/ UAE" and made sure that is all like my old S3 which was fine, but i just couldn't make it appear as startting from Sunday!!! any idea?
3- when i am on the home screen, going right, goes to the right page, fine, going right again, goes to the next page, fine, but if i go left, it opens the magazine thing, i don't want it, i just want it to open the last page normally like you are flipping the pages, how i can do that?
4- the usb input place is really disgussting, everytime you need to carefully remove the cover and each ones you have to make sure you do it carefully not to spoil it, is seems thin and can't handle pressure, i just don't know why they put it,,,, any idea how to remove it "without breaking it" out of the device, so to keep it aside and may use it later for example??
thanks for your time guys

Think you're looking for the S5 forums, bud. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sprint-galaxy-s5
That's for the sprint variant of the s5. You can use the "Type to find your device" search box to find other versions. You will also want to enter the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting subforum for any questions as general threads with questions are moved/deleted.

I've made control F and typed galaxy s5 and galaxy s 5 in the main xda forums page but nothing was found, so i thought it is not yet been created as it is new phone
ok please move it to that one, i am still looking for those answers though

On the top-right side of this page you will find a search bar with: "Type to find your device..." and a small phone icon to the right of said bar. In there, type Galaxy S5. You will see on a drop down list with all of the variants of the S5. Click whichever applies to you, be it the Sprint variant, etc. Since you state you use the Dubai format you may want to go for the international variant. We won't be able to help as this is the S4 forum, however, the S5 forums are definitely active and available.

The S5 was terrible. I'm back to my S4 and happy. It is a step back. No SV-LTE for starters.

Moved to Sprint S5 Q&A.

device was defective in hardware, even software update (fresh software installation) did not help. unfortunately, many people had the same problem as Samsung representative stated earlier today, they took the device from me and will arrange for replacement soon. this is FYI guys.

Anyone getting the camera failed message? Full battery and have wiped data still wont load.

maybe hardware issue as happened with my new device, take it to Samsung warranty center, they may update the software and it works, otherwise, request replacement, i did that and they replaced it for me with new peace after 2 days

Had this issue ,camera worked fine the first day .Than bam no camera took it back to bestbuy . They replaced it that day.

How to retrieve MSL (easier method no CDMA workshop required)

Ok i saw a few people wanting to find their MSL with out CDMA workshop or customer service. I'll show you how. (I guess this doesn't work for some who installed the OTA update. I installed the OTA and am rooted and it worked for me.)
1. Install aLogcat from the market (its awesome and free)
2. From your dial pad dial ##3282# when the EPST menu pops up select view mode
3.Open aLogcat let it run for a sec and let it catch up
4. Press menu then press send and select email
5. Enter your own email address and send it
6. From your computer open the email and hit CTRL and F at the same time it will bring up a search bar
7. In the search bar type in MSL and hit enter
8. You should now be looking at a line like this
I/EpstBroadcastReceiver( 2089): MSLCODE 1:+HTC_RMSL:######
the #s are where your MSL will be
9. You are welcome!!
I heard this doesn't work anymore after the ota. I have tried a similar method using the ame app but no luck. Does emailing the log make a difference cuz i just scanned the log on the phone looking for that msl entry.
Couldn't find it. Followed each step to a T.
I'm on the latest OTA, rooted, BTW.
They fixed it with the first OTA. If you can get back to a pre-ota stock then that works fine.
Otherwise the easiest way is to simply call Sprint and ask.
i never had OTA ( still don't ) and it still doesnt show anywhere...btw

Then you bought our phone with it already updated most likely. Because it works with the base ROM that the Evo was released with. It's how I got mine.
this should not be posted in the development subforum. An article stating the same thing, which afaik doesnt work any longer due to the first OTA, has already been created over a month ago. The easiest way is to call Sprint and ask them. It takes two minutes.
Mods, please move this topic to General or QA.
Thanks

As an FYI if you want the mods to move something (given that I doubt they have time to sift through every post of every thread) click the little ! icon on the upper right corner of the OP. That brings the post to their attention.
i have the ota (rooted) and it worked for me
if you want a good reason to give sprint customer service tell them every time you open an app that uses gps the phone crashes. tell them you need to reset the gps receiver using ##4772579# and you need your msl to do so. they didnt even ask me why when i asked for mine.

no i just find it easier to scan stuff on the computer especially since my log was 10+ pages
perhaps OP can change the name of this thread since it does work once the OTAs have been applied....hence it is wrong.
Bummer. No go in Froyo.

Setting of View First Unread

How do I set 'view first unread' as the default to every thread?

I know you asked this years ago but if you're still around did you ever get this resolved? It's driving me bonkers.

I don't know how you can tell a post is read. Posts are not like emails, where you have to open them to read them. I think the closest you can get is thread level.
I set my preference to show newest post first and then subscribe to the thread requesting notification. That way i get a notice i can follow right to the latest post in the thread, or i can go to the latest post when i open that thread.
That may be as close as you're going to be able to get.
To set preferences, if you go to "Control Panel" under your user name (top right), click on "Edit Options" on the left side and roll down to "Thread Display Options" you can select how you want threads displayed. You can go here to see what the choices mean.
Not having the latest post first isn't too bad on the desktop on a 30" monitor, where it bothers me is in the XDA app and these settings keep the current posts first. That wasn't working for me on the settings in the app.

Thanks a million. Unfortunately I've done this is 3 different browsers and it still takes me to the first post instead of the last or "newest" so It's very frustrating. I am on a 27" iMac and even get the same thing in windows so it's got to be something with my account but my subscriptions are set to newest first and I even reset browsers and changed the theme of XDA and it's STILL not working. What's ironic is that the XDA and Tapatalk apps work perfect for me whereas you stated they don't for you so we have just the opposite issues. Lol. It's driving me mad lol
Thanks for the reply. I'm going to create a new account as a test and see if that does anything. I'll report back. +1

[Q] Stocks Card not showing up for Google Now

My mom's stock GS3 has had the Stocks card set to work for a while. Not too long ago the stocks card seemed to completely stop showing up. I checked all the settings in Google Now and it should be working, but the card never shows up. There's no longer even the option to have it show when there is a 1% change.
Does anyone know what has happened recently that caused this? Any help would be appreciated.
same here
I'm having the same problem tried everything from clearing app data to uninstalling updates and the app itself nothing brings it back hopefully this gets fixed soon I need to check my stocks !...

The same thing happened to me recently as well but today it is working fine. Here is what I did to fix, maybe it will work for you too:
1. Open a browser window and make sure that you're logged into your google account.
2. Search for "Quote AAPL" or whatever other stock you own. (LOL I'd never buy an iPhone but I'll attempt to profit off them)
3. The results window should contain a graphic section at the top with your stock quote with actual search results below.
4. Now go back to your Google Now app on the phone.
I am not certain this is what it takes to "fix" it, I just know that my stocks went away and now they are back after doing this. Good luck.

Thank you bro but unfortunately it didn't work for me hopefully Google finds a fix for this ...
I never set my stocks card up but I found them showing up anyway. I can only guess that my Gmail address must be associated with my stocks... (thru fidelity I guess)
just a guess, but did she make any changes to her email preferences in regards to the stocks?

Hey it looks like they added a settings page for the stock quotes. Maybe this will fix it?
Open Google Now then go into the Settings -> My stuff -> Stocks and add the ticker symbols there.

Mine was already in there. I tried removing it and adding it before I even found this thread.
Just an FYI everyone, I fixed it. Despite the fact that I already added the stock I wanted, it was still turned off. Even though settings showed Google Now All Cards ON, I had to tap that and turn on stocks. Hth
For some reason, now the traffic card is not showing up at all.
had same issue but this is what helped me to get rid of it...
Just turn off the notification from settings in google now & turn it back on after some time & it'll show up,
How do you set the default stocks that show up first referring to the order.

[Q] Multiple questions about the Moto G

hi everybody!
sorry for the non-descriptive title, but i have some questions i'd like to ask here. i just got my moto g 2 days ago, i switched from a samsung galaxy s+ (with cm10.2) so this is quite the change for me, hardware and software wise.
[ANSWERED] 1. first i missed the possibility to swipe my keyboard to type, i found many different apps for that, but my question would be what is the keyboard included in cyanogenmod? because since this can 'see' everything i type i want an app for that i can trust...
[ANSWERED] 2. i really liked the cLock app for time and weather in cm, but google-ing 'clock app' wasnt the most helpful thing i've ever done ^^ so here my queston would be aswel whats the cyanogenmod cLock app and where can i find it?!
[ANSWERED] 3. next thing would be how can i get something like pdroid on this device (i had it on the sgs+)? i would need root i assume, i saw lots of different methods for that aswel. one with like contacting motorola to get the rom unlocked or something like that. so whats the easiest way to get a privacy control on the moto g? i remember something like the new android has some inbuilt setting for that?!?
[ANSWERED] 4. something that is irritating me quite a lot are the software keys, because samsung has the back key on the right side and the moto has it on the left side. also i dont understand why there would be a key for recent apps instead of a menu key. same here: i saw lots of different methods to change that, some even with adding or getting rid of lines of the code. ok i managed to install cm on my sgs, but thats a little out of my capabilities ^^ so again what would be the easiest way to change the buttons around?
[ANSWERED] 5. another thing would be, how do i turn off the vibration when using the keyboard? i tried the setting under 'sound' -> 'vibrate on touch' (or something along those lines) but that didnt turn off all of the vibration, for example its still vibrating when i use the keyboard but not anymore when i open apps or menus.
maybe there is even the possibility to install a stable version of cyanogenmod on the moto g which would solve most of my issues? but since this is running so smoothly i dont want any nightly builds, alphas or betas on this thing right now...
btw i am using the nova launcher in case that makes any difference for any of the questions above!?
also i include this screenshot with all the version numbers in it because it might be useful: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5JftqugO1xsbnh1dTBrQzZVWXc/edit?usp=sharing
thanks a bunch in advance and for reading and i hope someone is willing and able to help me out here!:fingers-crossed:
EDIT:
all the questions above have been answered! only one more question is open atm, [ here ] thanks to everyone who contributed so far!

You can install the stock google keyboard from the play store for using swype, And there is cyangenmod version available for the G, you should go to the Moto G Original Android Development section of the forum for that. The vibration option should be in your sound / keyboard settings so you just need to look better i gues.

thanks again, sadly the play store says: 'This app is incompatible with all of your devices.' and it seems this is because of some kind of regional restrictions for this app and/or my country. i cant imagine what and why that would be but i cant download it from there, is there any other way to get this? like an .apk or something?

its a very nice clock and weather app, i can even do more (like calendar). thats 2 down 3 to go!

I suggest to install Xposed framework (Root needed), and then you can have this features with Gravity Box and Xprivacy (these are modules for Xposed).
In order to root, you have to unlock the bootloader (follow the instruction on Motorola website), then install a Custom recovery (I suggest Philz one) and supersu from Play store

hi and thank you for your contribution! i have unlocked and rooted my device successfully and installed the xposed framework. i havent quite got the hang of how xprivacy works as of now since its a little different from pdroid (and somewhat confusing imo). but thats just a matter of time i guess. i'll start reading here: https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacy#xprivacy or is there a better quick start guide?
i assume i can uninstall the 'xprivacy installer' (the one from google play) after i installed 'xprivacy'? and that gravity box is for the softkeys and its this one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554049 ? i'll look into that tomorrow, since its getting late here and i dont wanna mess up now ^^

Mornin', you're very welcome!
Xprivacy it's kind of complicated, but that reading will help you. I admit I don't use it, but I know it gives you full control on privacy and this is what you were looking for As you said, it's just a matter of time!
Btw you can install modules directly from Xposed Installer application, so you can bypass the Play Store.
Yes that's gravity box: it's very good and popular, you can surely reverse/set all the software keys, but also do a lot of modding!
It's more intuitive than Xprivacy, just go ahead options and try them, it's safe!
Good luck and forgive my english!

i am no native english tongue myself, so i dont notice anything wrong with your english. no need to excuse, i make mistakes myself.
i was under the impression that you could do 'stupid' stuff with xprivacy, like i was able to deny my camera app access to the camera with pdroid. that was a good way to test if it was properly working. so i tried and deny firefox access to 'internet' but that didnt seem to work, but then again it especially said its no going to break apps. i dig into all of this further later on.
just a question, what would be a good way to verify it is working like its supposed to? talking about xprivacy here...
edit: and to answer my question no.5: there is another setting for vibration in the keyboard itself, so you have to go through -> language and input -> select settings on your keyboard -> vibrate on key push (or sth along those lines), so basically you have to turn it off twice.

edit: and to answer my question no.5: there is another setting for vibration in the keyboard itself, so you have to go through -> language and input -> select settings on your keyboard -> vibrate on key push (or sth along those lines), so basically you have to turn it off twice.

Yeah, of course! I thought you managed this already! Keyboard is like an app itself, and has its own settings (i.e. vibration)
so i tried and deny firefox access to 'internet' but that didnt seem to work

Click to collapse
I just tried it and i had no problem to deny the access for Firefox. When you open xprivacy in the app list tap on the Firefox Logo, not on the name or the checkbox. If you do so the details will open. If you now tick the category "Internet" then you will see that it is checked as a square, not as a hook. If it is a square it is only partially blocked. If you go now into the details of the category "Internet", you will see, that not all options are checked. Some are even marked red because they might be essential for the functionalty of the specific app. If you check also these and maybe also all others, then you can prevent Firefox of getting access to the Internet. If you check all items in Internet manually you'll see that category internet has now a hook than a square.
but then again it especially said its no going to break apps.

I did not really get what you wanted to say with this.
just a question, what would be a good way to verify it is working like its supposed to?

You can check for example all outgoing connections to the internet from your device. I have not tested this tool, or similar like that, but i will now because i just had the idea Else you can also prevent Facebook app to connect. I use Auto Hide Softkey App. I can for example prevent that it uses the overlay function, so it can not modify the UI and hide the Navbar.
Xprivacy is a very powerful tool. If you want it more simple, you can activate the in Android but Disabled inbuilt AppOPS App (search for AppOPS). But it is also less powerful.
I bought xprivacy. If you buy it, you can download the restrictions automatically and upload yours for others. You are also able to export end import the settings if licensed. Also nice that you can buy it via Paypal because i do not have a Credit Card (and i don't want).
but google-ing 'clock app' wasnt the most helpful thing i've ever done ^^

You should definitely work on your Googling skills
Try "best android clock apps" "List of android clocks" and so on, there are dozens.
maybe there is even the possibility to install a stable version of cyanogenmod on the moto g which would solve most of my issues? but since this is running so smoothly i dont want any nightly builds, alphas or betas on this thing right now...

My friend, you are really funny
Cyanogenmod just got a snapshot Status few days ago. It is one step ahead being a nightly and to steps behind beeing stable
Hope that helps.

Oh and for some settings you do you also have to restart your phone. But actually it will tell you to do so by displaying a toast.

thanks for the explanation! i clicked on the firefox logo but i didnt know you can go even deeper into each section for permissions, that explains it!

well you explained it yourself pretty much, the app was designed to not break apps in the way they work but restrict them from your privat data. so when i clicked firefox'es internet permission and it had the square, i disabled some but not all of it. thats all i was saying

i wasnt on my computer for quiet some time so i couldnt answer on this thread, my apologies.
i bought the pro version of xprivacy with paypal too and i synced my permissions for all apps with the cloud or crowd. it could find and sync most of my apps which is a nice and easy way to get around the ridiculous amount of permissions to set for each app.
can you confirm that most of the synced crowd settings make sense in the way of privacy protection? because i havent looked too much into all those settings but even when i did i couldnt quiet understand them in depth...
also @Landrea thanks for recommending gravity box, that thing is amazing! i was able to restore most of the cyanogenmod settings i was missing, great! also i could reconfigure my softkeys, but i am thinking about this app here to maximize my usable screensize:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.gmd.hidesoftkeys
or
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.tsorn.FullScreen
or is there a setting for that in gravity box i missed?

You're welcome!
Check navigation bar settings in gravity box, you can change the size of the soft keys and gain space.
Go for that apps if you think you need more usable screensize (hard to believe)

[Q] new apps on gear app store

Hi,
Recently, I start to receive very few new apps each and every day. Previously I was seeing several apps per day now 1-2.
I would like to make sure that it is not a specific problem to me.
For example, today only one app is added . It's name is Crystallite. Can anyone confirm ?
In addition to this, yesterday my app named "Ultimate Info Watch" was approved. But I still can't see it on store. Is there anyone here who is able to reach my app ?
Thanks.
I see crystallite and gear alarm. I don't see yours though.. Hope that helps
I just bought my gear 2 and I'am loving it, but Tizen will certainly have the same fait as Bada! Samsung kills t! It is not interesting for developers! We have just a few apps and a thousand of watches! We have just one custon rom!
Every day we see less and less apps on samsung store!It is sad!
I will keep my gear 2, but I think that in less than 2 year it wont even be able to concect to a phone anymore. Samsung will give up on Tizen and the future android plataforms wont provide support.
Tizen has so mutch potential... I think it is better than android wear, but his dead is certainly...
Probbly will buy a lg watch r and keep the gear 2

thank you. that really helps.
I see exactly as you see.
But then where is my app ?
hmmm.
I don't see your app either. Maybe it takes 24hrs to get uploaded and the servers refreshed?
Did you get a link to your app in the approval email? Maybe you filled out something improperly. You did post a question in the general section of this forum.

they don't provide a link in the approval email. I'm sure I didn't fill out anything improperly. And yes, I posted this in the general section because it is some kind of "out of scope" discussion. Maybe I shouldn't have marked it as a question.
Probably you have the same problem as me. One of my apps was approved a few days ago. Standalone app for gear 2 and gear s. In the update I selected all possible devices, can't remember hie many, but somewhere between 60 and 100. App was approved without comment. I didn't see it anymore in the app store. In the seller store I can see that it is only available 8 (eight!) devices. This is clearly a Samsung error, because when a standalone app works on a gear 2, works on the gear 2 independent the related phone. I sent Samsung a message yesterday, now waiting if they are going to solve this.

I did see your app a couple of days ago. I didn't like it because of the font type and the black clock and font.
I like the dark themes, because AMOLED will use less battery then.

I see the app. I think its really good as well. Hopefully fonts are customizable amd background defaults to watch background.
Generally, I wish there was a way to try paid apps before buying them...

Yeah, i'm getting tired of having to pay for every single app.
Don't read me wrong, i want to pay for good apps. But most of the apps are real crap. But you find this out after paying.
For this app, i'm waiting for another watchface i really want. (Watcher). The upcoming update have hourly weather and appointments in one.

Thanks for your reply. Actually on the registration process I did only select resolutions supported. There was not a place to select devices as far as I remember. Are you sure that there is a device selection as well ?
On which screen can I see which devices are selected for my app ?
I will also write to Samsung if I find similar issue. But first I must find the problem.
Thx.

Thanks for your feedback. I will create a version with better clock and font if you have any suggestions for the font face and/or clock. But I would like to keep the analog clock simple in this one, because the aim is to supply information. So, I am waiting for suggestions...

the app uses the default background you select in background settings. Actually, I made a demo version to make trial available. But the approval process takes too long. So, if you want to try before purchase, please wait a cople of weeks.
Thanks for the feedback any way.
@mrmrmrmr Check in the seller site your app, by clicking on the link "For Sale" of your app. Then go to binary and you see the device count. You can click on the symbol left to the count, then you can see the list of devices for which your app is available.
When updating you can select the binary tab and click the advanced button. You will then get access to the device selection options. Automatically all recommended devices should be selected. Let me know if all devices are available for your app or only a few. Samsung said to me that it was my error and that I had to submit the update again with the full selection of devices. But I'm sure that I did this, so I think they made an error during the certification process. I did a new update, selected all devices and have to wait for another week to see if it will be ok now. It is such a slow process with Samsung, I really prefer android apps on Google, much easier to change/update apps.

thanks. I see 43 devices there. My device is Galaxy S5 , but in the list of 43, I only see: Galaxy S5 광대역 LTE-A -
that is really weird.
Maybe we are all missing lots of apps for just that reason.
Try to do an update, check the list of recommended devices and see if you can select more than the current selection of 43. You don't have to change anything in the update, you can just leave the binary and description unchanged. You can change the device selection, country selection and fill in a certification comment explaining the content of the update and then submit. Good luck.

thanks. Now I selected 68 devices and resent to certification. But I forgot to tell them about the content of the update.
Now I will wait for at least one more week because of their error.
too bad...
Please report this to Samsung. In the seller site you have the possibility to ask questions or report issues. They should know that something goes wrong in their certification process. Thx.

I asked it as a question. But this seems to be a generic problem and I am afraid that most of us are missing lots of apps with similar problems. For example, I am using Galaxy S5 as a phone and maybe I am missing lots of available apps. And S5 is an important/commony used phone. Am I wrong ?
