Where can i find a stock 5 ROM with root, for my G900T? I'm a bit nervous about downloading ROM from just anywhere, so i stick to this androidcentral, xda-developers, and sammobile. I learn more as people vouch for them. Anyway, i've about had it with all the software i can't uninstall, and...

Thanx for this. I successfully downgraded my G900T to 4.4.2, getting the 2015-02-18 firsmware from Firmware for Samsung SM-G900T - SamMobile Here's the silly part, feel free to laugh. The reason i downgraded was to run Firefox 28 which would not run under Lollipop. It did run under KitKat but...

G900TUVU1DOB1 Installed Firefox 28.0.1. It won't run, it just says "Unfortunately, Firefox has stopped." The latest version of FF does work. However, i dislike all the changes they made since 28. Classic Theme Restorer, which might be of some help, won't install. It just says it isn't...

Erase Disk from Disk Utility ran with no errors. Ran F3 (https://github.com/AltraMayor/f3 , download zip, type make ) and got: The read: I think i'll be returning this later today.

Wow. So much to learn! SD Insight, under Manufacturer, says "SD Card is Invalid". I guess that solves the issue right there. I bought this for a few dollars cheaper from "Warehouse Deals, Inc" That's an Amazon thing. I wonder if someone bought a real one and returned a fake one. The card looks...

s5 g900tuvu1dob1 sd card samsung pro 64gb Playing for a short bit led me to believe that: Recording video to the sd card (default) of more than about 10 seconds, causes errors in playback. The native player won't play it, and MX Player usually won't, but if it does, will just show blocks on the...

I doubt i will use it long enough to find out. Unless i can get the unlock code for it, i'll be borrowing a friend's t-mobile phone within a few days and going onto his plan, rendering the Galaxy Light to nothing more than a fun toy (and wifi phone?)

FWIW, i went to the store and got a Galaxy Light. I plan to buy a used S5 soon. I'm guessing ebay is the best place to look? Anyway, updated the table up top to denote 4G vs LTE and the cheapest plan Metro PCS will allow you to get because of the data feature, which i found out after going to...

A little googling did the trick. If the phone supports the network, you just need to buy a SIM card. Checking which phones work is easy: metropcs. com / offers / bring-your-own-phone.html (Sorry, can't post links yet. I hope the spaces aren't too much trouble.)

Wayne, i was thinking about byop. Regardless, i still get a discount on the phones listed above, and as i have not been using a smart phone, it might acquaint me with the points you are making, which ought to help me make a more intelligent choice when next looking for a phone (which could be...

Gekko, assuming i follow your advice and indeed get a better phone, i still get a free phone from the list (that cost $29 or less) as a toy, if nothing else. What phone would you suggest?

I am trying to apply what you said. I really have very little experience with these things. Based on that and the list above, the Samsung Avant and S 5 & 6 would be recommended, as they have 10 gig (o 32 for the S 6.) While i could get the Avant for cheaper with the 29 trade in, the S 5 & 6...

Good point. I added memory to the list from MetroPCS's website. The Leon is not offered yet and has no details. So, i googled for that one. Do i really need internal if i can add external?

At $25/mo ($30 with 1GB 4G), MetroPCS has my subscription.

I don't see either of those on MetroPCS's website. :( I added a list of available phones with their prices.
