Do note that you can't get phone calls on "LTE only" I do wish we could change band priorities on the S5 for that initial scan.

But any other reason not to force LTE only mode and use groove ip. At least for the next week. LTE only is working at much better for me.

mc_gusto Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 The only downside I see of doing lte only and groove ip so far is no MMS. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mc_gusto Posted May 15, 2014 Share Posted May 15, 2014 Anyone able to renew your free dropbox account? I had 2 years with the S3 and it's expiring soon. can't figure out how to redeem the new offer from the s5. I also just noticed a small piece of plastic covering the camera lens. Little bugger. Not sure how it affects clarity of pics. I took it off. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tweeted at SamsungMobileUS but they just said there was a widget on one of my homescreens that would take me to the gifts. However, I don't have that widget on my phone anywhere that I can find. When I just go to the Gifts website, there is nothing to click except the LinkedIN promotion....which requires a credit card. The rest just send you to Samsung app store. So I'm not going to install these apps from the Samsung app store and delink them from the Google Play store just for some free 3 months of garbage. I sent an email to Samsung detailing how their duplication of services and applications is ruining Android on their phones and confusing the customer experience. I too have an expiring 50GB from my S3 and haven't seen any bump with my S5 now that I'm logged in (or Box for that matter). It's all crap. I'm sure you have to be a new Samsung account or something. Funny about the camera plastic. That has been the #1 issue with the S4 and now the S5 that I've had to correct on my friends' phones. They had no idea why pictures had this halo to them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chgoguy80 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 For you GS5 guys, I'll just put this here..... Let's hope this is a fake. All the specs seem the same as the regular S5. None of the reported features - 3GB Ram, QHD screen, and faster processor. It looks like the S5 with a metal back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostkilla1388 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Just seen a video on the S5 Active, I've read the roumor that it will be a spring and att exclusive. If it comes I might have to sell my One Max and pick up a S5 Active. Sent from my HTC One M8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ghostkilla1388 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 Just by looking at it, all three buttons on front are physical and it has a rubber bumper around the phone. And guessing it will have a better IP rating also. We won't know for sure until Samsung announces it. I'd like go get a S5 to play with but I don't want to pull the trigger before they announce this S5 Active and if it even comes to Sprint.

Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk No. Samsung will fix it in the first year, or year and 3 months if you registered on Samsung.com. Or if you have Sprint TEP just take it in to a store. You'll just have to send it in. If anyone has experience if a Sprint repair facility can do this, chime in. Or can it be replaced by end user? sent from an underwater dust storm with my S5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk Actually, maybe they won't after reading the internets for a while. But I did find this place that sells them and has instructions on how to replace the S5 charging port cover. It looks incredibly simple. One screw.

ghostkilla1388 Posted May 25, 2014 Share Posted May 25, 2014 That looks like Samsung designed that as if they knew it would break or get loose, wonder if a repair store might know/can do it under warranty/tep?

Rocket87 Posted May 26, 2014 Share Posted May 26, 2014 If the store is smart they fix it. Its only held on by one screw and can be fixed in seconds. We harvest them off all gs5 that get sent back since its not a part sprint currently replenishes us with. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I canndo it on my One M8 and had done it on my older Note 2 but cant seem to find it yet on my S5. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk That's an interesting find. It seems to be missing from the S5?? To quickly get to settings, here's what I have set up. I use Nova Launcher with gestures (swipe down anywhere give me notifications, double tap = camera, two fingers slide down is toggles, etc.). To get to settings, I have it set to "swipe up" on the screen. Then I have set my "Quick Settings" in my settings menu to be the ones I need to get to quickly. The funny thing is that I have historically always had a shortcut to "Battery" setup in my Nova and when I restore my nova the shortcut appears there and works. So making a shortcut still works in theory, its just not visible in the S5 by long pressing on the home screen like it used to be. I'll keep digging.

ghostkilla1388 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Yeah, I like to have my battery, data usage, and either mobile networks or WiFi. I'm digging too and so far still can't seem to find it. I'm gonna check my dad's Verizon S5 when he gets home. Sent from my SM-G900P using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmark27 Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Also, wanted to throw this into the user thread here in case anyone else experiences it. I did have the "Camera Failed" notification twice on my device when going into the camera, something that has been happening to Verizon Users most notably, but can happen to any early run S5. A reboot did have the camera come back to function though, unlike some stories I've read online. I went to a Sprint Store and they ordered me a new phone which should be in on Friday. I do not have TEP but this is covered 100% and a free replacement if anyone else gets it. It should be a replacement with a brand new device and not a refurb. I'm worried that this store ordered me a refurb since it had to be ordered, however I confirmed with him it was a new device and he said "yes". We'll see when it comes in. They're a third party owned Sprint repair facility, so perhaps they can't scalp their inventory so easily? Other camera observations I didn't see in this thread (sorry if I missed them) is 1) the camera does rattle some when not in the app, which is the focus mechanism; once in the app, the rattle with stop as its engaged and 2) my camera (even before the failed message) sometimes showed a black screen for 2-3 seconds before the image appears to snap. I believe the latter is what the international model got the software update for and hopefully what is coming our way. The RDF page shows a NE3 build in testing. http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SM-G900P-SPRINT/NE3.rdf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
