Hi, I used to be very happy with my S3 and decided to upgrade to S4 for even better satisfaction.
But I got disappointed the first day because of the phone app. It's unfortunately the one which was needed improvement on S3 but with S4, it lacks one of the main functions.
When searching for a contact from the keypad entering first name and pressing "*" followed by the last name would narrow the result and let for a fast dial. S4 won't recognize "*" as a space and ends the search.
anyone have an idea how to go over this? Thanks.

Man reading that post makes me sick. Most Indians are lazy people and here is a prime example. They also want the answers the quickest way. Use the SEARCH function its there for a reason. Since i am indian too i have the right to say this stuff. Here is some information on the problems you are having.
1)you can try these:

2) pull out the stylus when you are in a call and the notes application will open so you can write down whatever the hell you are writing and that will be stored so you can access it later.
3)I dont understand what you are talking about. Do you have a custom ROM or stock?
edit: by the way this thread is in the wrong section it needs to be in the Q and A thread in the Raphael sub forum.
I just got a G2 and I hate to say that I'm very disappointed with it.
It absolutely fantastic in many ways e.g. screen, battery etc but it does its main function badly i.e. the phone.
I have several problems with the phone app but I suppose the main 3 are:
1. very slow/laggy i.e. the phone rings for a short time before the screen becomes activate and I can answer the call.
2. It take a long time for the screen to become active again when I remove remove it from my ear i.e. when I wish to end a call, the screen takes about a second to become active again (proximity sensor).
3. When I am on a call, any sound from my side completely mutes the far side. So if I, for example, say "yes" in agreement to something the far caller is saying, I miss what the caller is saying for that time when I am speaking.
I hope what I have written makes sense :silly:
I'm really sorry that I bought this phone, I think its unusable as a phone. I have tried both JB and KK ROMs and both are the same.
Any help anyone? I'd rather stay stock but I'm willing to load a CM ROM if it will improve the phone.
Return it and get something else. There is only so much a phone can do.

Why the smart-arse answer?
The number one thing I would expect a phone to do is perform as a, erm, phone? I'm not trying to get it to perform as a PC or helicopter
Anyhoo, I got problem 3 sorted. I flashed a 20C ROM and that fixed that problem. Problem 1 also seems to have improved a little.
Problem 2 was and still is the main problem. I have tested the proximity sensor and its fine so it must just be the phone apk. I find it very annoying to have to wait for the screen to become active again so I can disconnect the call.
It's not a smart-arse response at all. Like I said, there is only so much a phone can do. If it does not perform to your liking, you can either send it back to be thoroughly tested in a service centre (it can be almost anything), or exchange it for a different phone that performs as a phone.
I never had such issues with my phone so it just could be that you got a bad device. Of course, you can always load an AOSP ROM and see if the problem persists.
First of all, hello everyone since this is my first post and thread on this forum. And thanks for all the help I had found in the past. And sorry if my English would not be understandable sometimes
So I bought this fake Galaxy S5 in China (Silk Street in Beijing) - I did it on purpose, knowing from the beginning that I'm buying a fake. Didn't expect anything big from this phone, but after a few days of using it, I'm very surprised by its good quality. It has some chinese features though, and the rom is not fully translated into Polish - sometimes mixed English/Polish, but I don't mind. Ant the battery is certainly a poor quality fake, because it discharges in a few hours of normal using (or not using at all) - maybe something in the chinese rom is draining it? Definitely I will buy an original one.
And! The most intriguing thing is, that the device keeps changing its MAC address. I know it's hardly possible, but I checked it precisely - MAC changed at least 3 times after complete discharging or forced reboot.
I was worried about flashing some 'real' rom into it, not knowing if the hardware would handle it, but I ran the CPU-Z and this is what I got:
View attachment 2912728
View attachment 2912729
View attachment 2912730
Can I consider this phone as almost original S5? Only the CPU is somewhat different, but the RAM is the same as in the original, even the screen is FullHD, which surprised me the most. And if yes, is there any suitable custom (or original) rom for me? What should I even think of this phone? Only thing I know that I made a good deal - it was like $130
Thanks in advance for your help!
First, don't trust the results that you appear to have in hand. CPUZ is a fine utility but many fakes go out of their way to feed spurious information into the app. There are already a few hints in your results that they are spurious. Before you trust those results, vet them against several other apps e.g. Samsung Info and a full benchmark suite.
One important clue is whether you can enter a standard download mode. Pull the battery and then use the volume down + home + power sequence to see if you get a download mode and if has any irregularities.
As to your original question, almost certainly no. Trying to write an original firmware to your known fake is likely to brick it. Perhaps irretrievably. You need to identify who made the fake and search out the proper utility to write firmware to the device. if you do a search of this forum or my post history you'll find the name of a forum that specializes in fakes and likely can aid you.

Do you still have that phone?
Hi. I have a Samsung Galaxy 5s SM-900S. I discovered after buying it that it is a clone. Oh well!
I rooted it using Root Genius (Chinese) from Shuame download.
It was working great. Then I deleted some bloatware apps, and disabled others.
After that, all hell broke loose. I was stuck in a flash screen boot loop.
A techie friend put the phone in download mode, and it was able to open up, but no home page.
Then he downloaded Nova launcher, and I got my home page back.
But it was a slightly different home page.
The phone originally said 900T (under- about device), but I know it is G900S (from 3 apps that display the phone specs).
Now it says G900.
The problems now are:
1. my phone dialer disappeared. I downloaded another, but it wont ring when a call comes in
2. Every few minutes when doing anything, I get a message- Unfortunately, the process android process.acore has stopped.
I then must press the ok button to continue.
Can anyone help me? Do I need to flash a new ROM?
I don't wantto reset to factory settings if I can avoid it.
I am a newbie. But I learn fast.
Any help will be greatly appreciated!

I'm just going to let you know right now... You're not going to get support in an official device thread for a clone.
I`m sorry you got scammed mate, try to get your money back or file a police report for fraude if the device was advertised as a genuine Galaxy S5.
There is no support for this (also not by the manufacturer) device and even finding a working rom wil be very difficult.
Good luck and hope you learn from this, if it sounds to be too good to be true, it usualy is
Sad to say, but he's pretty much out of luck. Scammers know they're selling a phone that's not genuine, so chances of getting money back are slim to none. Police also don't care. If you bought it with cash just take this as a life lesson, because there's pretty much nothing else you can do.

Maybe your device was locked and you update it to one unlocked firmware?
