Any idea when the Sprint S5 will get the ANG update? I hear it fixes some of the issues I'm having with the slow camera and non-responsive fingerprint scanner.

Hi
I installed 1 week ago the RLS4 on Samsung S4 Verizon.
It is the perfect ROM, however it overheat the phone when I am on 3G/4G. and when I say overheat, I am not exaggerating.
I did not have this in Stock ROM.
So what I do is turn off the data and wait for a Wifi spot. with Wifi it does not happen, only on cellular data.
Anyone experienced such thing?
Thanks & regards
Hyperdrive moving app to SD - Verizon S4
I installed Hyperdrive RLS7 on my galaxy S4 verizon, so far so good. Is there any way to move app to the SD with Hyperdrive?
The latest Verizon stock ROM update seems to allow that.
Thanks
Just thinking out loud:
As the S6 edge guys are able to use S6 ROMs and all they have to do is flash there own device Kernel, if the S6ers were to flash an Edge ROM and a S6 kernel, could they end up with some of the edge features? ( Edge contacts, edge call light)
Would it cause problems? e,g edge night clock, edge feeds? do they need kernel support?
anyone got any incite on this ?
Should work Yeah. Just flash an edge rom and then your s6 models kernel and that should be it. Should have the edge features

I don't actually own an S6 was just was thinking out loud, lol.
Again thinking out loud:
Why don't Dev's use an Edge base then? Is it because it is such a new revelation,that it can be done or simply that they don't think these features are wanted/needed by the community?
On Verizon, the Lollipop update brought slow usb charging and faster battery drain. This seems like it would be easy to find, but I can't seem to find if the other variants (specifically the AT&T one) have the same issues - maybe I'm just searching wrong. My wife and I picked up a couple of AT&T G2's unlocked to use on Cricket now that we've left Verizon. They're great, but if lollipop on them doesn't have the same issues as Verizon, I'll gladly force the update (which is evidently the only way we can do it).
TIA!

My daughter's AT&T LG G2 has the same battery drain issue + lagging apps startup and not able to sync calendar, contacts, etc. She tried factory reset, no luck. She is now very frustrated. All these problem appeared after OTA update to Lollipop 5.0.1.
My LG G2 ATT has no problems at all, everything is perfect, much better battery, not a single lag, much much smoother etc. you should upgrade.
I am on my 3rd S6 now in 3 weeks due to rubbish reception. Im lucky to have 1 bar (-113 db) of 4g signal in my town which has full 4g coverage. If I put the sim card into my G3 or M8 I instantly get full 4g coverage (approx -80 db). Now this is clearly a widespread issue as a quick search of google brings up people all over the world on EE, Vodafone, Virgin, AT&T and sprint to name a few. Just wondering if anyone else has this issue. Im convinced its an issue that can be sorted with a software update to the modem but then who knows lol.
I got G920i model and I am using it in Canada. For me, the network is constantly fluctuating and it is stuck at -99db =\. I thought it could be hardware, but it is widespread. I am gonna get Canadian Galaxy S6 version to test this. If that has same problem, then its all S6 variants.
I hope its software because I love this international model and it has AWS (B4) that works on my carrier!
I am on latest 5.0.2 BOF6 (June 20 build). Has this network reception problem fixed in 5.1.1???
No I updated the modem first on mine to the 5.1.1 modem and it made absolutely no difference. The updated the whole rom but again no difference. Im with you in hoping it can be sorted with a software tweak to the modem. Maybe by increasing the tx power of it. But its certainly widespread so just need samsung to take note and do something about it.
Hmm...might be an antennae hardware issue. Bring back your S6 to Samsung for warranty check...
This is my 3rd one now with the same problem. The odds of 3 handsets having the same fault are pretty big. Coupled to the fact there are hundreds of people with the same problem. I know that on the old s4 and a few other phones there were apps to actually increase the tx power of the on board radio. Im convinced its just a snag that can be sorted with a software tweak.
I recently picked my note pro 12.2 back up after some time sitting unused. I finally got around to getting the flickering screen fixed and want to get back into using the tablet more often. The issue I'm having now is updating to a more recent firmware. I'm unable to even check if I have the most recent firmware because I don't have a Verizon data plan or SIM anymore (long time coming) and it doesn't seem to want to update without that connection. Does anyone have a way to go about updating the tablet manually?
Also, is there anyway that I can flash the Wifi firmware on to the tablet so it ignores the fact that I have the data connectivity and acts like a wifi model? I've rooted multiple phones in the past, and as long as I have a good set of instructions I can do quite a bit but I'm still looking for an answer to this question.
Thank you.
you can use samsung smartswitch for PC: http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/app/smart-switch
to get the latest firmware.
just note if you need root, the new versions of 5.1.1 are not yet rootable.
unfortunately this device has a locked bootloader so flashing a non Verizon firmware to get wifi only is not possible currently.
I have noticed if you have a sim card installed with no service (I have a Tmobile sim with no service currently) it drains the battery pretty bad as it keeps looking for service, connecting and then disconnecting.
I turned off mobile data in the settings which fixed that for me.
Thanks for the info. I'll take a look at updating it to the latest firmware. I don't need root, was going to do it if we could flash the wifi firmware.
