Hi. I just recently bought the s5 from a local retailer. I was surprised to find out that it had lolipop out of the box. Was I sold a second hand unit? It was sealed and it looks brand new.
It seems to have vodaphone apps installed in it.

Probably... I got mine with lollipop also and it was refurbished. Regardless though after months of usage it seems stable and haven't found up to the tiniest of issues like dead pixel.
Maybe its refurbished, but im xure it has to be kitkat when out of the box

That's good to hear. How did you know that it was refurbished? I got mine in Greenhills from where I usually get my phones. It had a sticker and all. Everything in the package seems right. I was just really surprised it had lollipop out of the box.
I got two brand new s5 at few days one from another, one with kitkat and another one with lollipop.

Can you try downloading the phone info app? On the last screen it shows how many times the headset and charger was plugged in. Mine shows 5 times headset and 29 times charger. Do they normally test these things or should the counter be 0 out of the box?
Sorry it is already used for more than a week. I don't know how many times I recharged it.

Hello, My phone (G900F) also had lollipop out of the box. It's assembly date (2015.31.1) is compatible with samsung installing Lollipop at assembly time.

Hi. I'm in the idea stadium of a DIY car holder/charger since the ones out now looks stupid to me.
I need a smaller charger like the Nokia dt-900 which people tell me doesn't work well with n4 (comments on that?)
While looking at what is out now I've come to notice one thing (many actually), some sellers say that to get the n4 to work with their chargers you have to place the phone high on the charger in order to line up the coils. Looking at LG's charger this looks false:

The charger is placed above the phones centre line. This isn't really that a big issue but anyway strange.
The charger I need also need to be powered at 5 or 12v to simplify installation in car.
Please feel free to help me with your findings in this matter.
As for the DIY details, I'll let you in later on.
EDIT: The phone has to be high on the charger, not the opposite as I wrote :s
The Nokia chargers don't work well with anything pre- Hardware Revision 12 (if I remember correctly). So if you have a brand spanking new Nexus that says it is Revision 12 the Nokia might work.

What's the difference between revisions that makes it work?
I thought the problem with the nokia charger was that it didn't provide enough power to actually charge the phone reliably.
Hello everybody.
Would like to know if you can help me identify and maybe solve my problem with the Screen on my Gs 4 i337.
Here is how it shows.

It is not water damage.
I didn't let it fall.
The phone usually got too hot when on charger.
What do you think?
Is my best bet to replace the screen?

Sorry here is another link.
Go and claim a new phone. Say it's hardware failure. Looks like your AMOLED chemicals are broken.

My friend gave it to me, he spoke with one AT&T rep who told him he caused it so they wouldn't honor the warranty.
He got pissed off with them and hung up.
Called again to end his contract then talked to another rep who told him that yeah they would change the phone but he was already set on ending the contract. He did it anyways.
Hardheaded guy.
Anyways looks like I will have to fix it myself. Will have to order a new screen.
I have a T-Mobile variant of the Galaxy Note 3. I dropped it slightly and the whole thing shattered, LED screen cracked as well. I am looking to purchase a replacement and I see original ones on eBay but they were taken off of the CDMA versions of the phone (either Verizon or Sprint). If I were to purchase one, would it work on mine?

I'm able to do it myself. I just wanted to know before I purchased one.
If they are as generic as stated, then yeah no reason you couldn't do it yourself. - It isn't an easy feat from what I have seen though. - Best thing to do would be email Samsung or a phone shop and ask if the screens are indeed compatible for all models just to be safe.
I'm not able to find a original samsung screen replacement for the Note 3. Anyone know of a legit shop or site that sells them?
Never purchased one myself, but just did a quick search on google.. this place looks okay, dont take my word for it though, i did not research the seller. They are advertised as OEM parts though.

Hi Guys,
I've seen a few people post about this error on reddit where their Nexus 10 is at anywhere from 30-60% battery and it suddenly drops to 0%, everyone reporting the problem seems to of had their tablet for a year and a half...
Why is this happening, what's the fix and is it the battery needing replacing?
Is this covered by warranty if purchased through the Google Play store?
Anyone able to help/advise?
Bad battery. I had to replace my battery and the problem went away. You will have to buy an aftermarket battery and install it.

Hi,
In my case the battery would drop from 20% to 0%, but after letting it fully discharge and then charge fully while turned off it stopped happening. Don't know why, but randomly it starts again, the same procedure always worked for me.
However in some cases it can be indeed a faulty battery and need replacement.

I contacted Google and apparently they'll fix it as the tablet is in good condition and it's still in it's 2 years warranty.

Test a recalibration of the batery:

Hello, this problem all started back when I was getting Google play services wakelock and battery drain on 4.4 CM. This led me to updating to 5.1.1 lollipop CyanogenMod which I switched from because I thought it was a problem with the ROM, so now I am on 5.1.1 PAC man ROM and the problem is still persisting. Here are screenshots of my gsam battery stats and the problem only occurs the phone app is used (I receive a call or place a call) and it doesn't happen everytime for example I can sometimes place 5 calls before the app starts to show up in gsam and it makes my phone ridiculously hot. If I turn the phone off for 10 minutes and turn it back on the problem will go away but no matter what it comes back. I'm hoping you guys can help me find a legitimate fix to this problem because my 7500mah battery is dying faster than the stock one when this problem is occurring.

Use a different ROM, no reason to buy a new phone.

That will be my last resort LOL. Reason why I rooted this thing in the first place. Between the TV my dad bought that broke in 3 years and all the problems unrelated to me this phone has had (USB port broke, screen defect that made the phone unusable, and now this) I will never buy Samsung again. Can't wait to get my lg g4
