Another wrinkle will be if Straight Talk or other MVNO's will be able to activate them. Since BYOD lose OTA access on ST (and I think other MVNO's) it would be great to have an unlocked phone that can do OTA's directly from the manufacturer.

I'm still on my dev edition but seriously looking at the 2015 nexus 5 from LG (the 6" device from Huwei doesn't interest me, I've got a Note 4 that I don't use because it's too damn big, same issue with the iphone 6+ that's also an option through work). Since the LG will be based on the one of...

Oooh, I need that for developer edition, that and the next one that will patch the serialization bug (or maybe Samsung included both fixes in this update since they've had that patch since June?)

Fails on Dev edition I get an assert failed on getprop("ro.product.device")==...(list of compatible devices) Looks like I'll have to wait for one of the ROM hackers to figure out a way to get get it into a flashable package for us mere mortal dev edition users =) I wish Samsung didn't give...

Thank you so much for your very detailed instructions! I've been updated for the last month and other than battery life it's been great. The battery issue was bugging me so I started looking into it, one of the biggest users of CPU time has been kswapd0 which normally should only kick in if...

Thanks, this will save me from having to make the config changes myself to fix the stupid broken app permission setting when I root my new dev edition =)

Yes, it's fast enough (at least with every phone tested on the Air Dock, and since the Note 3 has a much larger screen than the S5 I doubt S5 owners will have an issue).

My S5 is going back to Verizon, I'll wait for the developer edition to become available. I just can't live without root at this point. I was pissed enough about no Qi charging for 2-4 weeks anyways.

760mA according to this product photo. I don't think the Qi standard allows for more than that as it requires about 2.1A coming into the charge pad to do even that much.

The air dock is what ultimately tipped the balance for me getting an S5, after seeing it I knew built-in Qi charging was a must have and since Sprint only offers the Nexus 5 in 16GB flavor (not nearly enough, I've got 15GB of stuff on my SD card today which easily exceeds the 12GB formatted...

Here's the link to the black wireless back, just needed to change the W to a B in the product number =)

I have not, I'll have to try that tomorrow

I'm getting less than 1MB/s with a test utility with a huge number of pauses. Also while writing to the internal SD card at a decent clip the whole phone is unresponsive. I decided to test the internal SD after noticing huge slowdowns and pauses while my background podcast app was showing...

Thanks for the files Drake! However, I must be missing something because I flashed that system file and when I go to about phone it shows 7.7.1Q 8/3/12 not 7.7.80. I'm pretty sure I flashed it right because I lost root and got back a bunch of the stupid Sprint stuff that I had removed and got...

What temp are you monitoring? To me 64C could only be cpu core, which would indeed be high but not dangerous to the chip (my desktop core routinely hits 90C as does my GPU when stressed, I run a minimal fan speed passively cooled rig for noise reasons). Most components can hit 110C internal temp...
