[Q] Galaxy s 5 Download booster 3G - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi, I noticed that the Download Booster feature is only available to those who are on 4G LTE and will not work with 3G/HDPSA+
Will this be a hardware level restriction or will it be software? I'm hoping once it's rooted that restriction will be able to be lifted so people without 4G LTE will be able to use Download Booster.
Cheers!

BOOM! 3G+WiFi, 4G+WiFi downloads.
*Some features need root though!!*

Thanks for the reply,
I am already rooted however the main use I would achieve from Download Booster is torrents, which the app doesn't support.
Cheers though!

What service provider do you have?
It's meant for LTE only

I'm with Three UK. In my current location I only receive HSPDA+ (3G) so I'm hoping for a mod which will allow me to use Download Booster with 3G.

LTE on 4.2.2

Hi guys, T-Mobile just got LTE in my area, but I realize that the LTE option went away with the update. Can anyone help me out on how to get it back if it's possible, it will be a huge help. Thanks!

Hi,
have you tried this ROM and settings?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2267890
There's a whole thread dedicated to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2211618
Bottom line, you need to downgrade your radio. Additionally, it'd work best with a 4.2.1 ROM, but if you want to run a 4.2.2, you'll need to make some edits to the ROM to be fully compatible with an earlier radio. That thread has a flashable zip to edit whatever 4.2.2 ROM you have install, to make it work with the earlier radios.

Try flashing an older radio like .33 or .27 from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2087227. May cause some issues with 4.2.2 though, backup first and try it.
Thanks for the help guys. Is it possible to downgrade back to 4.2.1 then? Because to save me some time I rather just downgrade and start from there. I saw no difference in the update.

theres no need to downgrade. flash either the .33 or .27 radio, flash this to fix in call audio https://www.box.com/s/h16b3wlrq8op6us7ifsv then change the phone settings to lte/gsm. you can change the phone settings entering *#*#4636#*#* into your dialer or via the 4636v2 app. thats all.

na, ive used every radio on 4.2.2, hspa+ only and LTE. no problems. the only real issue for tmobile users is using a an older radio on 4.2.2 without doing the in-call sound fix. thats the flashable zip that i linked you(or you can do the edit manually).
Yeah I've never had any problems with the older radios, except the no call audio issue, but that's easily fixed. There's even a script you can use so LTE settings stick on reboot.

International roms on sprint s4

I see that alot of people have probs with the data working due to apn issues is the only thing that wont allow it to work besides kernel, but my ? Is could we just create a flashable apn file to fix that issue until aroma got fixed?

Are they having data issues running a sprint rom on a sprint device?
Sorry needed to word that better, the international roms on the sprint s4 they have to do a apn backup then restore I thought a flashable zip for a universal fix would work.

Omega V6.
One thing that I noticed is that my phone is unable to pick up my 4G signal strength. It stays at -113 dBm and doesnt change but my 4G speeds are still the same so I'm sure its just an issue with picking up and displaying the signal strength

Is everything working good with the exception of signal strength?
Sent from my SPH-L720 using xda premium
As far as I can tell everything else is working. The dual camera is even working with the latest ktoonez kernel on Omega which isn't working on the sprint mdl TW roms running ktoonez latest. :thumbup:
I don't think there is an issue with the actual physical signal strength on 4G, just an issue displaying it.

Anyone had the chance to try out the new Omega 7.0? Gonna give it a go after the download completes
Edit: Flashed v7 but having a hard time getting data working. Any advice. Ive tried restoring apn's from stock.

Go to connections--more networks--mobile networks--access point names and there you must have something.
If it's empty you have to manually create one. Hit menu then new apn. And for the correct values do a search for your carrier apn

OmegaRom Find My Mobile not working?

So the other day I was going through my settings since I'm fairly new to the S5 and noticed there was a feature that was just like the windows phone find my phone but a little better. I tried to use it and turn it on but after going back to the original security page it still says off or when I add a number to the part where it will notify you when the Sim I changed it doesn't save the number. Any ideas on how to fix this? I'm also using the tmobile variant of the s5
