[Q] Download booster Bell Canada - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Does anyone else on bell have their download booster working? Mine enables and shows the symbol but it doesnt actually work. Even when downloading a 1.3 gb file. On bell's website it shows how to enable it so I cant see them disabling it. Can anyone give me some insight?

How are you downloading the file? From my testing at least, it only works on files from the play store, chrome, or the stock browser, and of course the file needs to be over 30 MB. I may be incorrect though, there may be ways to make it work with everything, havent seen something for that though.

Like i said, utorrent will not works, on play store stock browser and chrome. When you downloaded it where you on WiFi and also in an area with 4G? Also when you downloaded the app did a dialog appear asking if you wanted to download over wifi only or anything like that?

Yes, lte is 4g, but were you also on wifi? The dialogue should say "you shiuld download this on wifi/only on wifi" either make sure you arent setting something to only use wifi to download, also make sure by chance download booster is actually on.

So it turns out I was selecting the "download via WIFI only option" from that pop up. I tried it again by selecting cancel and the download booster worked.
Thanks

Flash not working

I have seen posts of videos working in Dolphin, Maxthon, stock browser with Flash 10.1, but I have yet to see it work for me. When I click on a flash video, nothing happens.
I am on EB13 (from Samsung.exe update) and rooted with no custom roms. What can I check to get this working?
There should be a setting for Flash in Dolphin. The first time I open Dolphin, it always asks me during the setup if I want Flash on Demand, Always or never. I always put Always because the "On Demand" doesn't seem to work well.
I'd get you the setting in Dolphin but I'm in the process of flashing my phone.
Did you install flash from the market?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using Tapatalk
I installed flash from the market and flash is enabled in dolphin.
If I go to espn.com (this calls up the mobile site) and scroll down to bottom and click espn.com it will open the full site. If I then click on Sportscenter Videos tab, none of those play.
Can someone test that out as well? Are there other sites where this works so I can test as well?
Thanks in advance!

I don't have a "espn.com" link anywhere on the page that I can find. The last link I have is Sprint.com and no link shows "espn.com".

Dude what are you smokin'? ESPN.com doesn't have a link to Sprint.com???
To the OP: I followed your steps (with no trouble) and also cannot watch the videos on ESPN.com. I tried setting plug-in to ALWAYS and still no video. The website may be detecting the user agent string and disabling flash server side.
EDIT: just went there on my desktop and when I right click on a playing video it says "Disney's Media Player Framework" - this may be the cause of the problem, they are not using standard flash plug in for video.

I don't smoke. I consume edibles and pills. Sometimes I eat the ice cream but it doesn't always taste right. But I don't think you meant that to be a literal question, eh?
Here's a screenshot of ESPN.com when I navigate there through Dolphin HD. Not the greatest quality because I'm grabbing the screen through Droid Explorer video recorder but you can see, plain as day, the Spint.com as the very last link and no espn.com anywhere in that screen.

No, that seems like an issue that needs to be brought up with your carrier.
Is anyone else from bell having the same issue?
I was having that problem until i installed the new opera mini browser and uninstalled it. Don't know if it was pausing before but since i removed opera the stock browser and market are working properly. Also cleared cache and data under settings applications.
Gave that a try, still no luck. GRRR
Since this has moto blur, try going to settings and data management i think it is or something like that, and turn off data saving feature. It should be somewhere in there.

Seems a little laggy when waking the screen to unlock. I'm going to do a clean wipe later and see how it goes.
ok did a clean install. runs alot smoother now. it has the smart screen that locks when you are not watching the display also.
When you said clean install, you factory reset, then re-flash via Odin? I received the update via OTA...

Same thing happened to me when I initially went there. Scroll to the top of the page and click login. It worked for me
Waited so long for this only to not install it on my 3113.
Installed it on my GF and daughters tablet already. It is a bit sluggish, but that is expected since neither were clean installs.
Honestly though, I find this update to no longer be needed by me. Since Cody found a way (and whoever else helped) to add the IR-Blaster driver into CM10.2 (JB 4.3), I find this to be a case of too little-too late. That is only my opinion though, of course.
But looking through this update on my GF's tablet I did notice some cool things. Only thing that she dislikes is that now the notification pull down goes over the entire screen, regardless of how many notifications it has. Is there a way to alter this?

Tried multiple times (that used to work for me): Login worked for the forums but not for downloads.
However, it doesn't matter, as the samsung-updates.com site worked fine, and only a one hour (1GB) download (not the 2.8 hours predicted).
Observations:
Chainfire's "CF-Auto-Root" works just fine.
There is no option to enable debugging. Yes, there is! On the "Build number" field in "About device" under "Settings", tap seven times to enable on "Developer options". That permanently adds it to the "Settings" menu!
You can make an ADB connection either via USB or "adbWireless", but "adb devices" on the PC shows the device "offline". Both work! A newer version of the Android SDK was needed on the PC ...
It only supports WiFi channels 1-11, even with the "wifi_country_code" database fix that enables channels 1-13 on v4.1.1.
Other than those and some cosmetic changes and minor additions to "Settings", I see no significant differences.

Downloaded it and it's running on my tab. Although I haven't had time to really play around with it.

Observations.
I upgraded via Kies, got a message saying "Access to the software update service is provided to users in the order in which they request it. Try later" when I was trying the OTA.
This updates the android version to 4.2.2, if you didn't already know.
-The device is not vulnerable to the master key bug.
-The clipboard bug is fixed.. for now.
-Transparent status bar on homescreen and lockscreen
-New wallpapers
-Offline charging indicator slightly changed (color)
-Stock apps (SPlanner/Calendar, Browser, Alarms, Gallery, Memo..) have new UI + New apps: Group Play, Paper artist, Help.
-Device does not overheat now ,comparing to the latest build.
-Battery icon in status bar changes color depending on percentage:
1.Green: 100%-21%
2.Yellow/orange : 20%-11%
3.Red : 10%-6%
4.Warning sign "!" : 5%-1%
Pros: 1. More RAM. 2. Nice weather widget 3. Smartstay feature.
The device is not laggy/sluggish as some users have reported: I upgraded from the latest "UECLK7 4.1.1" build, no factory reset.
Cons: 1. Looks different from previous build, kind of weird - bigger icons and fonts, with more spacing between them. 2. White notification panel which takes over the whole screen. 3. Can't add lockscreen widgets with secure lock (Must use swipe to unlock) 4. Can't add swipe lock with pattern lock, like the previous build. (No shortcuts now, with pattern)

Video freezing on YouTube

After around 30 seconds of any youtube video, the video freezes and the audio continues. I've tried uninstalling updates but the factory version is also the same. So now the app is unusable. Any idea what's happening and what we can do to fix it? Seems a lot of others are facing this issue. I'm unsure if it's a youtube problem or a samsung one...

Try to use another Internet connection?
E.g if you are using Wifi to watch the video, use 3G or another Wifi connection...
If you are using 3G, try to use Wifi.
Also check if you have enough free storage space available.

You have another options:
1- Feedback to the Youtube app's author for support to fix the issue.
2- Try another Youtube player apps, e.g FREEdi YouTube Player or Video Tube, and see if the problem still persists.
Possible solution
Unfortunately i had your same problem but in my case a simple reinstallation of the app solved the problem, try with a factory restore
I just made a post about this on the Sprint Galaxy S5 board. What I had to do was disable or turn off the ANT Radio Service, there should be two apps for it if this is your problem as well.

Unfortunately it is not very easy because it has to be turned back on and then it will download and reinstall the updates which takes some time and is very annoying. It might be possible to freeze the apps using titanium backup but I haven't tried this yet.

If you want to continue to use stock room, and need hot spot, there is a trick using the app shortcut master from the market where you just have to edit 1 line . It works on LG g2 and g3 (I used it). If anyone wants to try, I'll look for a link to the directions.

No good. Those values don't show up in shortcut master.
Anyone had any luck with this? I can't find the file that OMJ is talking about to save my life. I don't see any attachments.
I've tried editing my build.prop and I've tried editing the default xml to change the rules and enforcement to 0.
The latter DID let the hotspot start for me. Other devices can connect. But they never get network connectivity.
Can anyone help me confirm what I'm missing?
Fabio Grasso's WiFi Tether app works for me on the 10.

I can't get it to work on mine! I've achieved root, installed the app, matched all the settings up....no internet connection. It's strange, my Ipad can see the network and it says it's connected. As soon as I connect it though I lose internet connection on both devices, can't load a single web page. Did you have this issue at all or would you have any idea what would cause this? I'm at my wits end with it, and I've used this app for 2 years on my M8.

HAH. I couldn't get it to work with this app (not initially anyway). I turned to his site to check if there were settings already available to use for the HTC 10 because it couldn't auto-detect the wifi adapter name. On his site, it says HTC users need to uninstall "TetherGuard" - system app.
Did that, figured I'd reboot and try the built in tethering which now works beautifully. Got it still within my refund window for Wifi Tether Router.
So some combination of what I posted above plus UNINSTALL TETHERGUARD! And life's good now. Thanks much.

You can use Titanium Backup to uninstall TetherGuard since you're rooted, instead of just disabling it.
Anyone want to post the specific changes/tweaks they've done? I've done changes to build.prop and default.xml (using the various settings found all over XDA) and also disabled/removed TetherGuard, but I'm still stuck at hotspot enabling but no data connection for any connected devices (data still works for the phone while hotspot is on though).
