I'm sure most of you have heard about the new 7.1.1 update bricking some 5x devices. A few weeks ago I went ahead and opted into the 7.1.1 beta to see how it operated. Overall experience was good but it definitely had weird quirks like blank texts and Play Store force closes among other apps. I...

I got my 5X new in July and have had nothing but problems with the battery. It's to the point now where it's ridiculous. I have literally tried everything: app using up too much battery check, cleared cache, battery saver mode, doze on the go (total joke), factory reset and just yesterday I...

(I'm using a Galaxy S5 G900A running 5.1.1 that's unlocked - to clear up any questions on that) My problem is that I'm not receiving gmail notifications or twitter alerts when I'm mentioned. I've done the following: 1) obviously made sure "sync" is turned on in the pull down settings 2) I...

I have an S5 running on 4.4.4 that was originally on AT&T but it unlocked now. I use Metro PCS. Anyways I'm trying to update it. I know I can't go about trying an OTA update so I went to Kies to update. Kies told me to download Switch so I downloaded the latest version and it didn't work...

I keep getting this pop up on my phone and my wife is getting the same type message saying we've won our phones and to click OK to claim. Obviously we don't click on anything. We have to close the tab. What is this and how can we avoid this? It constantly pops up despite using different broswers.

I asked before and got zero replies while I see others get replies on their basic threads (not sure why) so I'll ask again. I have a g900a unlocked s5 running metro pcs. I'd like to root it and flash custom roms. I've done this before on the s3 and s4 but they were both carrier specific phones...

Merry Christmas to you all. I have an s5 sm900a unlocked and I'm using Metro PCS. I'm on 4.4.4 and was wondering if you would suggest staying on kitkat or upgrading to 5.1.1 lollipop OR wait till I guess June 2016 and upgrade to marshmallow.

Merry Christmas to everyone. I just got an unlocked Galaxy S5 G900-A that was originally set up for AT&T but am using it on Metro PCS. I set up the apn settings and I want to root it as its running 4.4.4 and it won't allow me to do OTA updates. I've read if you're not careful you can re lock...

I have a Samsung Galaxy Light (metro PCS). I constantly have an issue of the phone turning off. This is my second unit and I've had issues on both phones. The phone is rooted stock with no rogue apps. I play clash of clans and I notice the phone turns off during this game. I find it ridiculous...

Is there any way to use flashify to get the twrp recovery on the T399N? I tried Googling this and tried going step by step and it didn't work. I don't have a PC to use Odin. I'm needing help on this. If anyone can help I'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Just got my G4. I had the G3, downgraded to a Galaxy Light (hated touchwhiz) and yesterday just got my G4. I had an Otterbox for my G3 and it saved me once or twice that I dropped my phone but I'm usually really really careful. I hated the extra bulk of the case though and I like the thin...

Hey guys, just picked up two LG G3s for $1 on new 2 yr acts from Verizon. Love this phone! First LG devices my wife and I have had. One question though and maybe you all can help: I downloaded the (old) phandroid app and I cannot access the forum section. I had to use the mobile web version of...

Quick question and clarification I need on something I noticed just now: I was experiencing a sudden drop in battery life so I decided to do a battery pull. When I pulled the battery the icon showed 25%. When I put it back in and booted it up it showed 18%. Why the sudden drop?

Not true

Anyone find ANYTHING about Sprint S4 5.0 ROMs? I'm searching everywhere and I can't wait to try one out on my phone!!

I'm on slimkat ROM version 7 4.4.4 and I have no LTE. It started yesterday. I usually just have 3G switched on all day at work to save battery but when I get home I like to stream music and YouTube etc so I flip on LTE. I went under "mobile networks". Mine shows in order: LTE (recommended), 1X...

I found out tonight from galaxys4root(dot)com that we can use Verizon ROMs! There are specific instructions on changing APN etc on the site. It may not be much excitement but I think its cool that we get to dive into a few more ROMs now. Currently downloading Chaos ROM along with KT kernel :)...

Hello everyone and fellow Sprint S4 users: this thread is dedicated to the community sharing stable ROMs for the Sprint Galaxy S4 L720/L720T (tri-band) Please post the ROM you find stable, any screenshots you have, your stats like battery life, if you're using a custom kernel and any other info...

I've been experimenting with different performance settings on my rooted S4. I noticed when I enabled developer settings on my Carbon ROM it opened up a performance setting. I was using an underclocking app from the Play Store. I want to find a happy medium where I can have super good battery...

Ever since I rooted my phone and flashed a custom ROM I notice when I turn off my phone I only get a gray battery icon with a circle inside it. It shows its charging but doesn't fully turn off.

Hi, just got my Sprint S4 L20T version rooted by a friend an hour ago and have been looking for ROMs for this specific model. I'm afraid to try the regular 720 ROMs listed on the topic because I don't want them to mess anything up. Are they safe to flash on my specific model?

Just picked up a new Sprint S4 after having my S3 for about 2 years. I was browsing around here and didn't see a specific thread devoted to ROMs. Is development for this phone not as active as the S3? I liked flashing new ROMs on my old phone. Are there good ROMs for this phone? Thanks

I did an April Fools a few weeks ago claiming I was leaving my S3. Now I really have left my S3. I upgraded to a Sprint S4 last night and so far I am really enjoying it. This forum has really been a wealth of info every time I needed even the slightest question answered. Thank you especially to...

I've had my Samsung S3 for over a year now and while it's been good to me I wanted to get a better upgraded phone to keep up with technology. I want to thank all the people on here who helped me set up my phone, root it, dive into custom ROMs when I had no idea how to do it myself and many other...

When I flashed the 4.3 stock ROM I am unable to get 4G, only 3G. When I try and switch to 4G it just shows the signal bars but I don't have internet. Is there any solution for this?
