Will the batteries for the i9505 work in the i337?
All of the stats look the same, but they have different model numbers, so I was just curious if it mattered.
Thanks!
Most likely yes given that my att og galaxy note shared the same batt as the international model. But either way you might want to check thoroughly. Are you asking because you found a better price on the international version? Please tell!
Recently bought a Sprint SPH-L720T and need to buy some accessories but most sites list compatible models as i9500, i9505, i9505G or i9506?

None of the above,its an SPH-L720 Sprint S4 TriBand CDMA. The i95xx device are GSM.International/ATT/T-Mobile,ect. accessories should work across the board.

If by accessories you mean things like a case I think all S4s (not S4Mini) are the same dimensions. Google for confirmation
SPH-L720T designates the carrier and model of your phone - it's a Sprint/subsidiary Samsung Galaxy S 4, same as an SPH-L720, but is Triband capable - hence the T at the end.
GT-i95xx refers to the chipset. The i9505 uses Qualcomm's Snapdragon 600 chipset, whereas the i9500 uses Samsung's own Exynos 5 Octa chipset. Either chipset (and a few others) can be in any model of the Galaxy S 4. The i9506 refers to the Snapdragon 800 chipset. You can find out which specific chipset and model of the GS4 you have by digging into your phone info - most of your external accessories won't give two ****s about what kind of chipset you have, though.
Primary source for this information is here, though being a new user I can't post links. Copy/paste the following to your browser address bar, then change & to . for it to work: www&gsmarena&com/samsung_galaxy_s4_i9500_vs_i9505-review-930.php
You'd think that on a site like XDA this kind of simple knowledge would be commonplace, but as can be seen people like pgriffinsc like to contribute to conversations without knowing wtf they're talking about. This is how bad/wrong/misleading information gets propagated... do your part to fight that trend by providing sources.
Hi,
I'm new on here so I'm not sure if anyone can help. I have looked around other threads but have not found the solution for this specific model. I purchased the Samsung Galaxy S5 SM-G900H through Amazon.co.uk last year assuming this would support 4G. However, I'm now just finding out that this might not be the case. As shown in the screenshot below, I don't have the LTE option in the Network Mode menu. I called my provider Three.co.uk and they said to do a factory reset (which I did) and then they said to update to Android 5.0 (which I did) but still no luck.
I prefer not to root the device and break the warranty but I will if there is no choice. I have also attached a screenshot with the details of the build number / kernel etc.
Please bear in mind that I am not very experienced at this so please explain what I have to do in plain English.........
Thanks so much!!!!!!!
@jeroenmw g900H doesnt support lte/4g
I have SM-G900H model and it doesn't have 4G LTE.
You can check its specifications online.
Just google model name!
So even rooting the device will not work?

No, it 'll not work even after rooting...
Because its not in hardware!
Get SM-G900F model if u want to use 4G/LTE
The SM-G900H is the variant of Samsung Galaxy S5 that is built using the in-house eXynos Octocore system chip. This variant does not have hardware support for 4G LTE networking.
For 4G LTE support you need one if the Galaxy S5 variants based on the Qualcomm Quad core system chip. Only the Qualcomm-based handsets have hardware support for 4G LTE.
If you have the option to return your phone for a refund I suggest you do that and get one of the other variants (preferably the SM-G900F for the UK). One of those should work with your carrier's LTE support.
How to use 4g in Galaxy S5 sm g900h??? Please help me
I am with a SM-G900H, and it have a 4G sign on the back cover, how it not have 4g ?
Hello community, i am new here , i own a GT-i9505 galaxy s4 that i bought almost 1 year ago.
I was reading guides and tuts on how to flash my own custom rom and it seems pretty easy.
After a re-search i finally thought of flashing a clean CM.
But here's the main question.
Which one is the right one, and what are the differences between them?
Galaxy S4 (jflte)
Galaxy S4 (AT&T) (jflteatt)
Galaxy S4 (C Spire) (jfltecsp)
Galaxy S4 (Canada) (jfltecan)
Galaxy S4 (Cricket) (jfltecri)
Galaxy S4 (GSM Non-LTE) (ja3g)
Galaxy S4 (Intl) (jfltexx)
Galaxy S4 (non-LTE) (i9500)
Galaxy S4 (Sprint) (jfltespr)
Galaxy S4 (T-Mobile) (jfltetmo)
Galaxy S4 (US Cellular) (jflteusc)
Galaxy S4 (Verizon) (jfltevzw)
Galaxy S4 Active (Intl) (jactivelte)
Galaxy S4 LTE-A (ks01lte)
I'am from Greece and i am using Vodafone.
Any answer would be more than appreciated.
The main reason i am changing OS is battery life, i don't want any custom or awesome features.
GT-I9505 = jfltexx. This is the one you want.
GT-I9500 = ja3g. You have this one listed twice. This is the device using the Exynos processor and lacking LTE.
GT-I9506 = ks01lte. This is the "Black Edition" Galaxy S4. It has a faster processor than the I9505 but its other hardware is identical.
GT-I9295 = jactivelte. This has its own forum on XDA.
The other devices listed are North American devices. This means they use North American LTE frequencies, which will not be of use to you in Greece. The AT&T and Verizon models lock their bootloaders to prevent root. The Cricket, Verizon, and Sprint models use CDMA rather than GSM, so they wouldn't work at all in Greece. The Canada version is identical to the AT&T version, but without the locked bootloader. The T-Mobile version never received an upgrade to Android 5.0.1. AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile, and Sprint Galaxy S4 devices all have their own forums on XDA.
There are many more models of S4 than in your list. At last count, there were some 50 different Galaxy S4 variants out there, but you don't need to worry about that. You now know which one you should use.

thanks you are awesome
Recently i wanted to buy a S5 second hand or refurbished. But wasn't sure which model was the best to buy.
Also which model of the S5 has the most XDA Developer Support right now?
That's hard to answer. I'll make a note so short summary of all the S5 for you, so you can choose one instead
Start with the ordinary Galaxy S5 model (G900F). The most popular variant, with tons of development support, has the standard SD801 and 2GB RAM. Do note that, since the G900F itself has many carrier variant, you might want to avoid the Verizon/AT&T model (G900V/A), due to locked bootloader. Any other variant falls under the klte category will be fine. Also get the FD model if you want dual SIM support. Fun fact: Sprint has an all blue variant (not just blue cover with black front)
Next is the Exynos model (G900H). Only released in Asian countries, this variant had a lot of potential, if it wasn't for the lack of LTE (which makes it the #1 contender for the worst S5 ever) Development is surprisingly good for an Exynos phone, probably only behind the international S3. Also has a dual SIM variant.
Also available is the S5 Broadband LTE-A aka G906S/K/L (whoever named it like this must be drunk) which is the S5 everyone dreamt for. Quad HD screen, Snapdragon 805, 3GB RAM LTE-A support, blah blah blah. Even the Sony IMX240 sensor, the same one on the Note 5 is here too (don't expect picture quality to be the same though due to different aperture and software and whatnot) Only released in Korea through Koreans' Big Three Carrier thought (no, not your Korea, GTFO Kim Jong-Un). Which is the reason why development sucks big time (since it is some of the rarest S5 available), only behind the S5 Sport/Active model. Without @cvxda and @bjnmonkey77, this device would've been on the same club as the LG V10. Rest in peace.
*Also, Samsung did release another LTE-A (called LTE+) capable variant of the S5 in Singapore and Europe. This one only has the SD805 though, everything else is the same as the klte variant. Development is a bit better, but not much.*
Can't forget the Neo model though. Basically the refreshed S5 without the water flap (yay!), better selfie camera, a new front camera and the brand new (for the era) Exynos 7580. Although lacking the removable battery and the development support of the klte S5 (boo!), the newer TouchWiz UI and a planned Nougat update more than makes up for it. Even if Samsung says "**** you" the device, porting Nougat from the A5 2016 should be easy, since both has the same Exynos SoC.
Last is the S5 Active/Sport model. The Active is exclusive to AT&T, while the Sport is Sprint's answer to AT&T's Active (the irony). Both are some of the hardest-hitting S5 available, while are also even rarer than the LTE-A variant. Development is pretty much non-existent, not even sure whether root is available or notz can't check sorry
I guess that's it lol. What a long answer (silly me). Sorry if you find it confusing, since my S5 only have like 3% left, and it was 11PM here. And enjoy I guess. XD.
Also XDA, swap your font plox. Looks like it's from 2010 ;;

Woah. Didn't expect such a long anwser tbh. So the G900F is the best one to get for development support. Thanks. I will check if it is a carrier variant or internation. Can't really get the G900H, im in UK.
I knew the S5 had a lot of models but didn't it had this many tbh.
It's Samsung dude. Also glad to help you ^^

Weird question. What's the best S5 ever?
The following parameters are needed for the answer:
- in which network you're going to use it,
- if you really need LTE,
- if you really need root,
- how much money you're going to spend.
Generally, "F" variant is the best for UK because it supports B3, B7, B20 LTE bands, but it's the most expensive. I'd say, 3-5 times more expensive than "V", for example.

I got the G900F model second hand. I got it for £120. Unlocked but i didnt know it was a vodafone version at first.
The vodafone g900f is rootable and bootloader unlockable right?

G900F variant supposes unlocked bootloader.
Vodafone version may mean a branded firmware (can be replaced with unbranded for the same variant) and network lock, probably.
Root should definitely be possible.

The matter is that I can repair something.
That's why the latest 4 G900Vs were bought for $25-$65.
The problem is to find device with good LCD.

S5 Mini or S5 Neo
Hi,
I currently own a Samsung Galaxy S (yes no trailing number)!!!!
I am looking to replace it with either a Galaxy S5 Mini or a Galaxy S5 Neo, I'm not really sure which one to go for and I hope someone here can give me some advice as to which one is the best phone, from a reliability / performance / ease of use / battery life perspective.
Thanks in advance!!!
