samsung galaxy s5

I'm looking at upgrading my daughter's phone to an S5. We're on Verizon and I don't want to pay $600+ by going to their store. I see I can buy a Verizon compatible S5 for around $250 on Amazon. Is there anything I need to be aware of or careful about when I try to buy one via Amazon? I presume...

I have flashed an official Samsung ROM from SamMobile on my Galaxy S5 using Odin, and everything has been working fine for several months (and still is). However, I just discovered that it says "Current Binary: Custom" and "System status: Custom" when I enter Odin Mode. Sources I have found...

Hey, what's up? Here is my rundown: I had a Galaxy S7 with T-Mobile, it was horrible. Here is why: My original S7 was defective by means of it crashing and freezing on me. I got a warranty replacement so I received my second S7 and after sometime it just would not power up, it just displayed...

So I know that with Marshmallow a standard feature is that you can no longer unclock the device after a restart with a fingerprint; it asks for an alternate password instead, but otherwise is unlockable with fingerprint. Ignoring for the moment that I don't understand how this is an improvement...

I no longer have the option to add specific ringtones to individual contacts. Does anyone know why this might have happened and how I might regain this capability? It used to be an option in the Contacts app.

My phone keeps answering calls in my pocket! Even though one needs to swipe to answer it just goes ahead and does it anyway. I tried switching off voice answer (the ability to answer calls by saying "Answer") in case fabric rustle was mimicking my voice but that didn't help. I tried creating a...

Hi ! Yesterday i updated my Samsung Galaxy S5 to 6.0.1. I use officel firmware with no carrier. After that my headphones/earphones doesn't work anymore. When I plug the conector, the sound (calls or music) goes to the speakers. I wiped the cache partition, I soft reseted (turned the device...

Hey all, I have a G900F on official Samsung firmware. I'm wanting to root it to CM13, but I'm having difficulty. Whenever I restart my phone and attempt to load the firmware I get this error: "Downloading... Do not turn off target!!" It stays on that screen and doesn't change. Does anyone have...

I take no credit for this. Found this on XDA developers. Follow the instructions word for word. The only thing you can slide on is the version of TWRP. http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-galaxy-s5/general/root-how-to-root-sm-g900t-firmware-t3358190 BACKGROUND: OK this question gets...
