Finally my S4 got Lolipop update ... it was about damn time ... it's 5.0.1 and despite all naysayers it's silky smooth on it very pleased

 

[Mussels]

bump for new love in an old thread.


just got the official lollipop update for the SM-910G (aussie/indian note 4)

some of its meh, but some of its awesome. waiting on custom roms that tweak the meh away and it looks to be quite good.

now i prefer stock, custom roms offer you different experience but sometimes i just cant stand flash and reflash, testing rom to rom to rom to find which one that feels good

there is a big difference between some of the custom mentalities.

Some are stock, debloated. These tend to be the best.
Some add extra features. Some of these features are awesome, best roms are this and the one above combined. (extra keyboard options, disabling camera shutter sound, etc)
Some add everything ever made especially thousands of themes. best avoided.
Some are pure custom OS's, with nothing stock. CM is the best example - these are *awesome* for older phones, i've revived many galaxy S1's recently with 4.4.4 roms that make them so much faster than stock.

yeah, if talk about stock. bloatware is kinda annoying, eating space


i may consider custom rom especially the light one and the one that frequent update

I couldnt stand the 1GB ram limitation on the S3, Thats one of the main reasons why i decided it was time to upgrade.... Samsung bloat also didnt help at all.

the i9305 model had 2GB, and was a massive step up. that was the 4G/LTE variant.

Yeah but to go from an i9300 to an i9305 is a bit silly. I dont think the i9305's were even available in the UK, if they were then it was a very limited supply.

Anyhoo.... Maybe someone out there can shed some light on this issue...

last month i made the mistake of flashing my Oppo to a lollipop. The whole process needed me to flash back to ColourOS then to lollipop and i did that, but lollipop had a lack of customisation, looked too vanilla and made some apps crash so i went back to 4.4. The flashback was successful - everything works again but i have a small issue where only the first 20 or 30 folders in my music directory are viewable while the rest isnt when i have it hooked up to my PC and having a look what music i have on my phone. However, I can see the files and folders just fine when I use a file browser from my device and poweramp never fails to pick up my 100gigs worth of music.

at first i thought the memory card was encrypted but it doesnt appear so as i can see everything on it when i take it out and plug it in a card reader to see whats on it on my PC.

Does anyone have any idea how this can be fixed?

one of my student has oppo too the last time it refused to unlock so it got reseted but after that the phone is kinda slow compared before reseted
i may suggest her re-reset it again and see how it works

those 2 were the main reasons i went custom on my S3[ we didn't have the 4g version locally, heck we didn't have 4g back then], right now my main is the Xperia Z2 but i'm keeping the S3 just so i can mess with custom ROMs for the simple use it has now ( calling and simple browsing) it's very smooth and light unlike shitsung's original ROM

if you can still access the files try backing up, format the sd card and put them back and see how it goes [not sure if it will work but it's something?]

 

[Mussels]

phones like the i9300 are the one time i love CM. throwing a lightweight rom 1/4 the size of the stock and keeping the install software light gives them a new lease on life.


my mum has an S1, i9000 i got for $15 and put CM11 on it - and its perfect for her. it runs skype, facebook and her netbanking, and she needs nothing else.

 

[Doc41]

speaking of 5.0....

finally,but need some time to see if anything improved or not

 

[FreedomEclipse]

Still going to be rocking 4.4.4 until 5.0 matures.

In other news - my 128GB microSD that i was having issues with. turns out it was on its way out. It now dies when I transfer files over.

Amazon agreed to give me a refund though as they didnt have that particular model to replace it with.

Hi!

I have bought my phone and tablet in Finnland and want to see all german books in google play store but it wont find all.
My google play store is region locked it seems.
I tried the the method with HotSpot Shield VPN & Proxy discribed here

but no luck.
Do i have to root my tablet for example and install a german region ROM or what do i have to do to get it working?

 

[Mussels]

the phone model itself in the build.prop file can control google play content.

The note 4 is available here in aus as the 910G, but i installed a custom rom that changed it to 910G and all sorts of things disappeared, even certain youtube features broke (such as being stuck at 720p, no 360 degree video support, etc) - but a simple (root) text file edit back to 910G and it all worked.

you may need to find a phone with the same or similar hardware and change your build.prop to one that is sold in your country. make a backup before trying.

Does it help to root the device and change "ro.product.locale.region" with build.prop editor from GB to DE for example to change the google play store region?

might need to be a combination, i don't know sorry. the devicename in the build.prop was not documented anywhere online, but was the fix for hundreds (if not more) of users in posts i googled who had imported phones or flashed custom ROM's

Just got the 5.0 release on the LG G3. It runs very very well.

i like LG for their hard work to keep it update but LG should tweak their interface a little

I'm curious how this goes for you. I absolutely love my G3: it's by far the smoothest phone I've used (on at least my 5th) and I have no stability issues. I currently have the phone powered on for well over 650 hours and it's still running smooth. All my other phones would have to be rebooted once every 1-2 weeks.

However, every time I've received an update (all VZW phones), the stability has been worse after the upgrade. I don't want to go without the stability I'm now used to, and doing a factory reset should never be an option.

finally a speed test i can beat you bastards in:
