I've searched amazon and the bad ratings of claimed exact replacments are full of counterfeits. Ebay, forget about it. I've considered ordering from sprint but they want $50 for a battery and external charger that God knows who it was rebadged from. I've also considered anker. Some people love...

No luck so far on downloading the full rom. My spidey sense tells me this will probably be the very last update for this phone. If I get lucky with downloading via http, I might choose to post this via torrent. The amount of bs you have to go through with http is uncalled for! Or I might stay...

Where is this rom you speak of, ok2? Looked in the typical sections of this phone's area and didn't see any new posts.

Has anyone tried to plug in and test an external powered cd-dvd-bluray drive to the phone? If there was anydvd hd and handbrake for android,that would be awesome. Although my n3 would probably have a good run against my old, retired, thrown in the trash many years ago Intel pentium 800. 1.5 to 2...

This might have been an option, back in the old days, with older Samsung phones. With kit kat, is this option no longer available? Maybe back in the cwm recovery days... I noticed that many times, the phone will run for quite awhile at 1% before shutting down.

I'm am experiencing more times than I have the patience for, times in which a power down battery swap brings forth issues with instability with lollipop! Updating Google apps only to be caught in loops of death of gapps force closing or system apps hanging and having to wait minutes until things...

I don't know if there is any missing info on your explanation. I did notice problems on the ota. I also noticed differences between ota and full odin tar. The first difference i noticed with the full odin tar is the android wiggled its antennas. The second thing I noticed was the initial setup...

I'd happily exchange d+v for pegging a speedtest.net speed run for data!

TLDR; WHENEVER YOU ARE GOING TO FLASH ANYTHING, MAKE REDUNDANT BACKUPS AND GET THEM OFF THE PHONE! I was on OC and tried a few days ago, running triangle away. It didn't work. I had philz clockwork mod recovery, which worked after flashed with mobile odin pro. Before that, I had twrp latest...

I just tried triangle away in 5.0 and it doesn't work. It did work in 4.4.4

Something that nobody has mentioned yet is triangle away app for resetting status. When he kept mentioning wanam, I was like. ... what about ta? You still probably need root for either app. From my experience, custom status didn't matter if you had a full tar.md5 file and compatible version of...

I tested it in lp, with earbuds and noticed it's mono, even on strong signals. I'll stick to iheartradio and tunein radio (pro (really old version)) for stereo streaming. Why really old version? I think the direction the company went in updates were in the wrong direction. Plus, I prefer the...

I'm noticing app studdering while running without a reboot. Even when there are no apps in the app end screen, some games and music apps hiccup. Yes I'm running old versions of apps, mainly because the new ones are over bloated or crap or aren't hacked. I have old versions of candy crush and...

The one that made me write this post is that when in some other program, like Internet browser, the notification area is changed, color wise. I can't figure out the logic behind that. Battery life has been pretty bad after 24 hours too. Voicemail not auto signing in, after using the Google...

So you did make a oc5 backup, then restore it, just to make sure it works? I'm kinda afraid to at the moment. Maybe I'll try later. I first started on twrp, then went to philz.

Same thing happened to me. Hung at the yellow screen. I flashed back to 4.4.4 and took the update again. I got root by installing the zip in custom recovery.

Does twrp-2.8.6.1-hltespr-4.4.img.tar or philz_touch_6.25.0-hlte.tar.md5 work without any problems restoring a 5.0 backup? Maybe OC5 should be called obsessive compulsive 5.

One of the annoyances I noticed was that the stock voicemail app wouldn't automatically log into my account. It showed I had a vm message, but when I selected it, the phone auto dialed to voicemail and it was wanting a password. I tried all the ones it could possibly be but they didn't work. I...

I am rooted and had twrp 2.8.6.1. I rooted it via custom recovery and update supersu zip method. I was reading some people were having problems with restoring a 5.0 backup, but didn't see which twrp was the problem. Someone said something about going to an older version, I think 2.8.1.0...

Like the saying goes, one man's candy is another man's poison. I'm waiting too for lp but have been reading about some root issues on other carrier's sections of other phones. I personally don't care for custom roms. I'm so old school on tweaked original roms, I go back to the calkculin (sp)...

That card you mentioned is crazy expensive. $400+.

There are two features in galaxy phones that make me a return upgrade customer; removable battery and SD card support. If the next note does away with either, I will seriously rethink about upgrading! Sprint never sells the biggest capacity available for the phone. Judging by their previous...

Sounds sketchy to me.

I tried it and it still just sits there. I use titanium backup to disable Knox stuff.

It seems like after the install settled down, battery life is better. Granted I used titanium backup to freeze a lot of crap and am using greenify.

Probably not with the stock boot loader. You'd need a Dev one that will allow it. I was thinking this was lollypop. It isn't. I wonder if someone smarter than me has ran a diff, or whatever the thing is to see what has been added or changed from the previous ROM.

Can someone come up with a tar.md5 link that you don't have to sign up for? I don't know if the zip is a recovery flash or there is a tar.md5 inside from reading these posts. I keep checking development section but nothing has shown up that is a full stock Odin flash yet. I know finding file...

Two speakers isn't surround sound. That's called stereo.

The source has dropped awhile ago. Sprint said there was going to be an update within the first two weeks of December. Nothing yet as of Dec 11? Should it be pushed any day now? Hopefully before new years. And hopefully it doesn't break root methods or root apps. I've been seeing a lot of dev...

This is the first time this has happened. http://i.imgur.com/EYlwUqO.jpg I was using a Samsung charger and battery. I was using a third party cable but changing it to an official sprint micro USB cable didn't help, even after reboot. I finally removed the battery, put in a fully charged one...

I got one recently that offered me free unlimited minutes because I was a valued customer. I'm guessing it's because I've been with sprint for almost twenty years. They said it wouldn't change my contract. I signed up for it since my old plan is 300 minutes. I rarely talk so I went for it. I...

Mine are that they are usually easy to root, lots of support like XDA, they have replaceable batteries, and external chargers. My first Samsung android phone was the moment. That was a great little phone! The epic was another, and the last, of the great slider phones from Sammy. The moment used...

Neither. I'll wait to see what the note 5 looks like. Not enough improvements to spend the money or use an upgrade. I also agree with what Sony said. On a small phone screen, going to 2k+ resolution is a waste of battery and your eye probably couldn't tell the difference. Most videos you'd watch...

More information. This is very odd. Can you make a video with another device and put it on YouTube of your phone acting this way. I've never heard of this before.

Did you do a full factory reset within the phone's os? A second important thing, since you mentioned a red x for signal. Is the original Sim card in the phone? Cards for Sim slots in sprint phones are not interchangeable like gsm cards are. The card is paired to the phone from factory. After a...

I had seen a post or two that people were saying it didn't work for them. I don't have answers. I just stumbled across the alternative root method and posted it here. My Knox is tripped. I used chain fire root. I'm just offering up information I stumbled across, hoping it would work out and help...

I just checked and the imp of the v6 is 63 ohms. I am guessing the phone is closer to 1k ohms.

I've been doing searches for the answer and can't find anything. I have a pair of Sony mdr-v6's. The output isn't really loud and has very little bottom end. I don't listen to bass head music either. I suspect there is an impedance mismatch. If you have an answer, could you provide a link to...

Verizon no. Gsm carrier maybe but not at full speeds. Buying a phone and wanting to get it working in another carrier isn't the wisest thing to do to save money. Phones are NOT 100% interchangeable between carriers. Your friend might have bought an expensive paperweight or 2g phone.

Look in q&a section.

Some people are reporting problems, sometimes serious ones after using this. I am not vouching for this Dev. If you decide the risk is worth the results, then so be it. I didn't root my phone this way. I voided knox a long time ago...

I am simply the messenger. I do not guarantee this will work always. Any modifications you do to your phone is your own risk. Many people have reported it works. Your setup may be slightly different than others. I'm not trying to be a jerk, but once you decide you want to try it, you accept the...

I highly doubt it. The least fuss way is to buy a phone for the carrier you plan on using it for. If it is possible, you'll get better network performance if you buy a phone for the specific carrier you're planning on using. I've seen this same question with so many phones over the years, it...

Well, nobody has reported is has so just do it. ;)

Cool. Glad to hear that and hope it works out for you.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2783157 I don't know if this will work for our phones. I don't know if it's safe, but I thought I'd post it anyways. Read about it originally at androidandme. Edit: People are reporting it works with the sprint note 3 and doesn't trip Knox.

Stock rooted nc5

It isn't like I'm driving the CPU hard to run out the battery faster, but I've noticed that when draining completely, the battery is always sightly warn to the touch. This isn't the case when I swap batteries before the phone dies. Could it be that when voltage drops, amperage increases?

I keep canceling it. Trying the link for more info and the page is 404. Edit: Sorry no screen shot. I didn't think to grab one. Just look at the date of this post. Are you seeing similar behavior? I just don't want to blindly let something install without knowing what is going on. I also don't...
