Buy now or wait for Prime? - Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been searching around this thing called the internet for an answer but I can't seem to find an answer as to if/when we're getting the S5 Prime on Sprint. Anyone know the details?

That's because no one knows and it hasn't even been made official although everyone knows it's happening. My guess is, is that it might not even be available in the US.
There's a post on Sammobile saying there will be "limited quantities" of it due to production costs of the 2K display.

I'd buy it again..
Buy a new device whenever you need/want it because waiting for the next great device will never work by the time that device comes out the next great thing will again be on the horizon and the cycle continues..

Oh I've been through the cycle and back. Lol. Good to know that the reports are vague at best. The last thing I want to do is use my upgrade now and then find out that a better version of the phone is coming out in 2 weeks.

That's how it usually happens... I hate that **** too

The answer is simple, if you think you will want what's in the ''prime" more then the reg s5 what's waiting another Month or so? If the s5 is good for what you want, then why wait?

I hate to say it, but ive never been more disappointed with a phone than with my s5. Battery isn't that good compared to my g2, it's slower than my s4 as far as unlocking and opening the camera, the fingerprint scanner is garbage for unlocking the phone. The camera is great in bright and dark situations but lower light it sucks. I do however like the look and feel, which is weird because most people talk about how much they hate it. Also why hasn't samsung implemented auto-input in the keyboard, it's 2014.

Might have to take another peek in the settings for the keyboard. Predictive text works great on this keyboard

Yes they are legit. I have one and it works much better than stock battery. I had to get a new one after two years but it is worth it.

Thxs for the reply is it worth getting 2 or can u get a day out of one battery?
I get one day out of a battery but I wouldn't call myself a heavy user. Mostly texts and some browsing durning the day. I paid $20 us just for one battery no extra charger. So it depends on how much you use your phone.

and how is that linked with Anker battery
Just got one last week as the stock battery was dying hard, to the point where taking a picture with flash would cause a reboot due to not being able to supply enough charge.
This one is great. Lasts much longer, no more random reboots! Buy it. :good:

I bought one of these a while ago. Makes me feel like I've pimped my sensation ! Made my battery life go from about 7 hours of general use(web surfing, a bit of music) to a full day easily. It's a shame newer phones don't have a removable back as I'd love to do the same to my next too.

or bring your magnifier and look close to the label printing, it should be a neat one, like this...

Phone Dog M8 or S5 Poll

Looks like we are in the lead. This may change since HTC had a jump in release date.

Touchwiz ruins any phone, as well, lol.
After having the S2 then the S4 I tried both the M8 and the S5.. I only could play with the S5 for a few minutes before I grew to dislike it... thinking of all the weeks it would take to undo the touchwiz theme I simply bought the M8 and switched to Verizon casuse I actually want to use the data I pay for.. had unlimited data with tmobile...none of which I ever used unless I was in the right part of a big city. Xtremely satisfied and havent even debloated this bad boy yet.

I didn't mind TouchWiz at all on my Galaxy S3 or S4, both were rooted, recovery changed to TWRP and CyanogenMod ROMs installed within hours of bringing the phone home, I agree I don't like TouchWiz but it's easily removable, even with the newer locked down Samsung phones, there's still Nova Launcher.

Amen! Did you try the Skyfall ROM? It's pretty stock but debloated and it locks out OTA updates which I suspect will lock down the phone if VZW get's their way.....
Only the lucky few that got their s4 in time before firmware was updated from mdk were able to have the luxury of non touchwiz roms. Glad I got mine on mdk. But I don't think the s5 ( like the note3) is going to have a Loki exploit like the s4.

[Q] Radio Not Turning On?

I am having this issue since day one. I bought the Nexus primarily for testing out the developer preview. I flashed to it, everything worked fine. But as soon as I entered my sim and restarted, phone turns it's radio off and displays "Please turn off Airplane mode to place a call" when dialing a number and displays no service.
Also through the code "*#*#4636#*#*", I noticed I couldn't turn on the radio through the "Turn On Radio" button. Whenever I press it, nothing happens.
If someone can help with this, then that be great!

Sorry, I should have mentioned in the OP, I have tried every factory image available for the Nexus 5. Nothing changes. Even tried relocking the bootloader and unlocking it. No clue what is wrong. :-/
Very strange... Do you have another SIM card to try? Not sure if it would make a difference, but it's worth a shot.
Edit: Haha I thought I was the only one crazy enough to consider getting a Nexus 5 just for the Dev preview XD
I didn't go through with it though.

Huh must be a hardware defect then.
Are you considering an RMA?
Oh, and do you think I should go ahead with my idea to buy one for Android L (was it worth it)?

If flash factory image don't work, tray other SIM, if don't work use warranty.

No RMA. I would recommend you wait for the final release. I don't wanna blame Google neither I am sure but I think Android L messed up my Radio in the first place. So yeah, wait for release and try to see if the final one has it all sorted.

How do I know if a oneplus one is a genuine 1

I've been offered a one plus one to buy for 250 but I always thought genuine ones said cyanogen on the back as the 1 I'm looking at doesnt. Is it a big problem if I got a Chinese 1 can I do all I can on it as a genuine 1. I'm in the UK is 250 a good price? Thanks
Chinese version is genuine. Just has less LTE support in America. In UK it's fine however. Check your carriers bands and the bands of the Chinese opo. If they match, go for it.
I have the Chinese its 100% genuine and original but lacks the CyanogeMod logo/markings on the rear this is obviously due to the Chinese versions not shipping with CyanogeMod but rather with ColorOS. And yes you can do EVERYTHING on it that you would be able to do on the international version. You need not worry. As you can also see below LTE shouldn't be a problem for you either in the UK,with a Chinese OPO.

I've been getting all my invites around the same time every month. 24th or 26th of each month, I've just bought my third one. Hoping to net one without the yellow, but so far I'm just selling them on eBay for a small profit. I hate eBay's 10% take, and PayPal' fee too...
Sorry guys I wasn't swearing at any of you so please don't take it like that. I said it as a saying. Like oh my god I cannot believe it but while I'm emailing the chap with the Chinese version. I literally get my invite at that point. Just thought it was a big coincidence. I wasnt having a go at any of you for the fact its came while I'm still waiting to be paid. Just a bit annoying as I don't want to miss it now its came. And I wasn't annoyed at either of you guys. There was nothing to swear at you about. you guys helped me with my question about if I got a Chinese version is there much difference. Then few minutes later I received my invite. I'm sure I can sort something out. Again no offence intended just wanted to say that as I didn't realise some took it to mean I was swearing at them but I wasn't.
I have the Chinese 16gb and the cm 64gb,there's no difference apart from the logo and obviously sd size. I flashed both with twrp and chucked the cm11s on the Chinese, both perfect.
Its all cool oneplus are currently processing my order

I do not have an s3 to compare it to but the shealth app got a complete overhaul. It does much more now. It also speaks (heart rate, time, speed) at intervals while I am running. I missed the speaking when I first switched from carrying my phone to just my watch on runs.
It added many more activities to track too.
EDIT: Tmobile pushed the update finally! They actually came through.
Just checked for update on T-Mobile variant of Gear s2 and it is available. The size is: 146.52 MB and downloading now.
Update: It completed just fine. Watch runs well, but I haven't tested anything besides the installation of the update and some menu navigation.
Finally.... I got it
My T-mobile watch isn't activated with them and even has a bad ESN and it updated just fine.

Yes, I bought one of the refurb TMobile 3g Classic ones before Christmas, I already have a sports Wifi one. I have not activated it on T-Mobile (I'm on sprint), and I got the update today. Works well. I can make and receive phone calls via Bluetooth easily. Not sure I need my Wifi one anymore. Wish I had known this before I bought the WiFi as Sprint does not sell the 3g version at all.
