Oh well shouldn't be too big of a deal since literally the only thing I store on my phone are 8 gajillion photos of my 8 month old daughter.

Captain Yossarian posted:Well looking at "will my phone work" shows that the global model of the new zenfone 2 WOULD work on Cricket/at&t but its a fairly small result of LTE bands. Guess I will hold off and hope a US release date is announced. AT&T/Cricket primarily uses Band 4 (1700 mhz) and 17 (700mhz) for LTE. Zenfone 2 supports both 4 and 17, plus band 2 and 5 which AT&T also uses in some areas. edit: Actually some of the variants don't have Band 17 support, so you need to be careful which one you choose. nimper fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Mar 27, 2015 |

Captain Yossarian posted:Thanks! Yeah the ones I've found support 1700 for sure, but 700 doesn't look as consistent, or at least they indicate 700 MHz but then "band 28". I take it that wouldn't work? Or if it supports 1700/700, it has to specify bands 4 and 17? Right, 4 and 17 are what AT&T uses. Band 28 isn't used by any of the US carriers.

Nierbo posted:Is there any way to downgrade my galaxy s5 to whatever firmware it was on before? This new one sucks. I can't change songs on the lock screen, apps constantly crashing, messages border is loving bright orange for some reason and can't be changed, and now it runs super slow, ugh. samsung.txt To get the music controls back do this: Settings > Sounds and Notifications, scroll all the way down and you'll see Notifications, click on 'While locked' and select "Show all content" This will enable it so you'll be able to see all your notifications on the lock screen, including music controls. "Hide Sensitive information" will still allow you to see your notifications, but not the actual message; you should also get back the music controls on both options. If this doesn't work, the music app you use hasn't been updated to work with Lollipop and you should find a new one! You can use a different messaging app. I recommend Google Messenger because you can change the app's color and border on a per-contact basis. Super-slow, apps crashing -- fix this by clearing the cache in recovery and/or running a factory reset. Factory reset will erase all your downloaded apps and app data (your music and anime .mkvs will remain untouched).

TraderStav posted:I'll admit I haven't spent TOO much time with it but I found on my N7 that I couldn't get it to be quiet with touchscreen sounds and still have my alarm go off. It was either have sound, or have absolutely nothing. I found an app (persist) that lets you dial it all in but really shouldn't have to go that far. I actually like the way it's done in Lollipop. You can't accidentally set it on completely silent mode; you have to tap the button like you really mean it. Plus you can configure how long silent or priority mode will last. Also, once your tablet gets 5.1 you'll see that they changed it so you can tell alarms to interrupt "None" mode. Hopefully this migrates to your phone soon.

TraderStav posted:Just realized what I disliked about the notifications in lollipop while in a meeting. I would like "priority notifications" to work but have touch sounds disabled while in priority only mode. I have to put it on no sounds at all in order to achieve that but lose priority notifications. I like the audio feedback in other times so simply turning them off isn't desirable. I think Persistent fixes that issue. Just turn off your touch sounds completely. Trust me, nobody wants to hear all your bloops and dits and dots.

Require More Fire posted:The Moto X got Lollipop in like November, way before other phones and before there was a 5.0.1, I believe. Now Moto is jumping right to 5.1 for their next round of updates. 5.0.1 doesn't add anything other than bug fixes though and personally I've had zero issues with 5.0 on the X, including the memory leak issues. I had memory leak issues (home screen redraws, etc.) on my X with 5.0. A restart would fix it but after a few days it just got bogged down. The 5.1 soak test seems to be a little better I guess!

Thanatosian posted:So, I need to get a couple of smartphones for my parents. Neither of them are tremendously tech-savvy, and they're in an area where the only real carrier options are Verizon and U.S. Cellular, both GSM-only networks. To further complicate things, my dad is highly likely to lose or destroy his phone with some frequency, so I don't want anything too high-end for him. Sounds like you've got it backwards. Verizon and USCellular are both CDMA carriers. You won't be able to activate a phone on either network unless it is sold specifically for that network and neither the new Moto E nor the new Moto G are CDMA phones. The distinction between GSM and CDMA is important, but it will hopefully be moot in the future as the legacy networks are shut down and transitioned to LTE.

Then theres all the lovely verizon apps you can't get rid of. Touchwiz is a mess. I thought I could get used to it but I can't. That dialer is crap, and all the replacements i've tried are crap. Then there is the issue with the dialer not sending out dtmf tones.I will dial my voicemail and the buttons won't work. Well the work the first 10 seconds but if you need to press buttons to transfer to an extension the won't work. I've tried a few dialers and they are acting the same. I'm guessing my battery only lasting 4 hours on T-Mobile is because the native chipset is optomised for Verizon towers? Samsung.txt Can you return it? Sell it? Burn it?
