Hello
I am from India and I've been trying to purchase a Galaxy S5 from ebay. There is one available with a trusted seller with a good price but the model is S5 Duos and model number is G900FD. I know Indian versions are supposed to be G900I. So my question is this: Will the same custom ROMs for Galaxy S5 work with Galaxy S5 duos? or is there a slight change in the source files that makes it incompatible with s5 roms and leave me at the mercy of Touchwiz forever?

DID u buy the phone? id yes how is your experience with it , please share.
No they aren't compatible. You could flash the custom roms but you won't have network signal after. Though there are a number of custom roms for the dual aim variant if you want.

Hello, If you dislike touchwiz you can still install a alternative launcher. I did not try on the GS5 but I had a GS3 before and I succefully replace touchwiz by Apex launcher. Once the alternate launcher is started you can still kill samsung one.
Has anyone bought this, I wanted to know the performance and battery backup

I ended buying G900F the European version, even though I'm in India. The phone performance is fine, benchmarks as per reviews. And it came with Lollipop which added some features that they havent advertised before such as 4K video recording. Getting regular OTA once per 1-2 months on average. Can't say anything about the dual sim version because I didnt buy it...

From where did you buy it, I am also looking good this one only bit since it is not available thinking to get the dual SIM
Also what is the battery backup you get on lollipop...

Was hard to obtain actually. Got it from ebay finally but its a version without warranty becuase technically its smuggled. As for battery backup, it loses 10-20% over a day without using 3g/wifi, 40-60% over a day while using either of them. The screen is absolutely brilliant.
I am also thinking of getting it from eBay which seller did u buy it from and how's the screen on time you get with it
I am returning my G900H to flipkart and would get refund, I am thinking to either get this or Xiaomi MI4

has anyone tried some of the call recorder apps to see if both ends/streams are able to be recorded?

Not sure about other recording apps. But the ACR app does not work yet on my S7 edge. It worked perfectly on the S6 edge. Hopefully it can be updated to work.
This is with the Snapdragon version, I can't speak on Exynos.

thx, mine arrives in a few days so I'll try all the apps out and see.
Just tested ACR on my S7 Edge (with Exynos) and it worked fine. The recording of my voice was a little quiet but still loud enough to hear. The other end of the phone was loud and clear.
I tried Automatic Call Recorder on a Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge (Exynos variant) and it worked just fine
The call recording app from Skvalex working flawlessly for me.

I just downloaded and tried the trial version on S7 edge Snapdragon through Tmobile and it isnt working right for me. It will record, but through the mic which results in the other end being very quiet and if i mute then it records nothing. Is there a setting i need to change to get it working right?
I used to use Call Recorder by Killer mobile, however on the S7 edge it is doing the same thing and recording though the mic as opposed to full two sided recording.
Thanks for any help you can offer.
just heard total recall from killer mobile works perfectly with the exynos version of samsung s7 edge , can anyone here please try and confirm the same [ as to whether the rec n both sides is clear or not]
It appears call recording only works on Exynos variants. Snapdragon phones got it bad this year.

T-mobile makes many limitations in the phones...
The CSC Mod Call recording allowed entry works for me.

I have it working also but not getting the other side of the call on bluetooth.
I've tried all the best rated call recorder on my Galaxy s7 edge, none work. Had no problems with my Galaxy Note 4. Help? Desperately need another working app.
well ive now tested my g935F and it works loud and clear, both ends, with call recorder from app dev ViktorDegt. its been quite stable for a good years use on the Innos D6000.

hope you guys get root so you can change the kernel to allow call recording, i was prepared to get another s7 edge model if it didnt work.

ACR dev here, I've been tracking this issue related to American version of S7/Edge
It looks like this is more to do with Android 6 firmware for US. As previously working phones such as S6/Edge stops supporting call recording with Samsung Android 6 for US
I have a s7 and a S7 edge and both are US SD820. AT&T to be exact. Both are able to record calls with Call Recorder by Skvalex. Im only getting my side of the conversation while on bluetooth. With Bluetooth off, both sides are recording just fine. As I'm on the road for the entire day, I need the bluetooth functionality to work. Has anyone successfully recorded both sides of the call over bluetooth with any of these apps on a snapdragon model?

Ive tried just about ever one thats offered, none work on my new Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Very dissapointed as i used my call recorder alot on my previous Samsung phones. Any suggestions besides rooting? I Believe this is a Snapdragon issue, Edges with Xynos don't seem to have this problem.

After having my Galaxy S7 for 3 days I finally realized that my call recording app wasn't working. And this is due to the feature setting in the app that chose voice recording (which allows the whole conversation to record) the only option it worked on was Mic setting. but then it only records me clearly and only if the other side of the conversation is super extra loud and echoing out the ear piece it will pic them up but can't really hear them. I have a feeling it is a software blocking but i cannot figure out how to get around it. I have tried 5 different recording apps and all the same. anyone have suggestions?
Same here! been using Automatic Call Recorder Pro on my S6 with no problems. I hope we don't need root.

Galaxy S7 Android 6.0.1, Galaxy S6 Android 6.0.1, Galaxy S5 Android 6.0.1, Galaxy Note5 Android 6.0.1, Galaxy Note4 Android 6.0.1 all don't need root, the app records calls crystal clear in two sides.
Did anyone being lucky to flash any custom Rom on the SM-G928V, the Verizon version of the S6 Edge+. I'm tired of the bloatware from Verizon and of being using pre-fixer to allow me to make calls in the AT&T network due to it is adding a + on any incoming calls and I cant return the call without the international call error message.
I'm looking for options...

Very specific crowd this is geared towards, any one with AT&T and a Galaxy Watch 3 LTE? Want to now if the call forwarding is working, it should since it has VoLTE but just checking.

You'd need to pair it properly so I'd guess you'd need to pair it whilst it's in a galaxy. Kind of had the same issue with an activ LTE and couldn't pair with my Huawei P20 pro. Watch LTE was paid for but wouldn't work on it's own without the phone via Bluetooth.
Now unless Samsung hates Huawei (probably does) and doesn't mind Oneplus (no Idea)
Then it could just work off the bat with the galaxy wear app, but I would expect the same issues I had.
As I said one way around it would be to set up the watch with a galaxy (swap out SIM) then change back to the OnePlus. That will work as expected
