Hello gents, and ladies.
Before I got the S5, I started off with the S4. Was really happy switching to Android after owning the iPhone 4S for 3 years. I pretty much got tired of it, even when it was Jailbroken. After I saw the S4, I jumped on it.
Took me a week to get used to the S4. Finally got used to it and rooted the phone. After the 4.4.2 update was released, it started acting up. SIM card was unable to read and after a couple of restarts, it would work again. Then one day, the phone stopped reading the card and was unable to get it working again. I thought I needed a new card, so I had it replaced for free since it also wasn't working. The same night, I went to a drive in, and wanted to check the time on my phone, then find out the screen cracked :/.
So I went back to the AT&T store and picked up the S5. I love how fast the phone is and battery life is unbelievable. I even have it rooted thanks to the person that made it really simple to do. Hopefully one day I can do something productive and help around here. Till then, have a great weekend and a Happy 4th of July.

Enjoy your s5 man. I think we can all say that we love ours.
Glad you're enjoying your s5
There are many other people making the switch as well, which is being discussed in this thread. I'll close this one so you can further discuss with everyone in that thread on the same topic.
Went down to AT&T and I bought a new Samsung iPhone, I already got it rooted, anyone mind helping me in messing around with my new iPhone thats from Samsung? Please note it's kind of old because the Samsung logo seems to have a little glue on it, as if paper. Worth it. Also I never knew that Android released a OS called "iOS"
There's a dedicated post a joke thread here, https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=384841
So I'll close this one. :good:
Hello all!
It's been awhile since I've been excited to potentially re-join the xda community. I've been on an iPhone for a few years now.
The Note 8 has me interested again, but I have a few questions that either I'm too lazy to spend the time finding or that I just haven't found an answer for.
I've seen that the phone back is glass, but I haven't seen confirmation on this. Is the back glass? I'd love to go without a case again (Thinking back to iPhone 4S, loved having a naked phone)
Is the bootloader unlocked? Do we know? I'd be getting a Verizon device.
How well does the pen stay in? Am I going to have issues with losing it during normal use?
Is Samsung's "bloatware" horrible on it?
How annoying are the edges?
Thank you for your time!

WELCOME TO XDA-DEVELOPERS @Calyso :good:
I can say with a fair amount of confidence you're going to get little to no feedback from most here @ XDA.
If you're admittedly too lazy to put forth a minimal amount of effort using the search function,count me in that camp.
Cheers! :good:
Ok I've had the worst bit of luck for digging into rooting and went in with out looking and that's how I learn the best but open for more knowledge. The Sprint Note 5 I rooted about a year and a half or so ago and had it since the first few weeks that it hit the shelf but didn't realize that phone was so difficult to work with and figured that out with the nougat update. But that's fine learned alot but the Ironman rom that has been taunting me ever since I seen it. Lol has any one get it to actually work on the SM-N920P Sprint Note 5 like every one likes to claim it works one every note 5? I've been trying every lead and read everything I've came across. The phone works like a champ and mainly use it for a back up and games and no matter what I put it through it still will not die. So thanks if you do have a option or point me the right direction but if not all good just figured I would ask any ways. Merry Christmas.
Hey, folks. Old dog going back to the original TMO G1. I've lost track of the Pixels I've owned and run AOSP-based OSes on. Made the switch to flip phones but LinageosOS tablets a few years back and have run on a half dozen different Samsung tabs. Currently have 2 Tab S5s in service. Currently wedged trying to get LOS on a Tab S6 Lite.
This is the first time in I've ever had an actual account on XDA.
Welcome to XDA and enjoy the forums information!
Cool introduction! Cheers
