Rukbat Thank you for your reply. The instructions do seem simple but I am really, really bad with these things and I know that from previous experience and a lot of failed attempts and money wasted, and it's quite expensive so I don't want to waste it. Would you happen to know how much CW...

Anyone know where I can go to install a screen protector in the Liverpool area? Does anyone know if Samsung actually sells and installs those protectors? And if so, how much does one go for? Because I cannot find anything on their website. Thanks

I'd go with the V10 if I were in your position, because like @Mooncatt said, I'd never touch another Samsung after the disastrous S3 and my limited time with the S5.

If I were to take a guess, I'd say the Developer Edition CID will probably get updates faster than all other ones? My device's CID is HTC__J15 (WWE, Europe) and I just recently ran a RUU zip and restored everything back to stock then performed the latest .13 firmware update. There's still no...

Could you provide me with your device's CID? If you're rooted, you can use a free app called CID Getter from the PlayStore to reveal it, but if you're not, you can reboot to bootloader by doing the following: How to Enter Fastboot Mode on HTC One Once you're in the boot loader, the CID will be...

This is exactly why I lean more towards custom ROMs when it comes to Android because from my experience, they are faster, snappier, and more customizable than the stock ones (even the ones that are rooted). I also use ElementalX kernel since the M7 days and I honestly couldn't use the phone...

Playing while the device is plugged in is never a good idea, from my experience. I destroyed my M7's battery when I did that while playing Injustice, and I definitely shortened the battery life of my M8 but I stopped doing that as soon as I realized it. My phone used to get hot, though, not just...

You can flash a RUU zip using a Mac OS X just like you would on Windows. I use both operating systems and I can do the exact same thing here and there. Just look in the General and Android & Development sections for the proper threads on how to do this or just use Google. Find the correct RUU...

It really depends on your device's region and carrier. As mfreeland mentioned, you can visit this link and check the latest ROM for your device and see if it is Lollipop or Kit-Kat. The only other way would be to unlock your bootloader and install a custom ROM, but that will void your warranty.

I am running the latest 5.0.2 Lollipop firmware and SwiftKey works fine for me; I am not sure what you're talking about, exactly?

I have tried doing that but it didn't work out. One of the reasons is that sometimes when I reboot the device, the apps on the External Storage just appear greyed out and you cannot actually use them until you reboot again or reinsert the SD card, and for another it does not have the ability to...

Yes, it is. It also automatically retrieves and displays the lyrics of almost any song you play, which is why I downloaded it in the first place.

If you're willing to go the custom ROM route, then unlock your bootloader, install a custom recovery, and flash a Kit-Kat or Lollipop custom ROM, they're ten times better than stock from my experience.

Yes, you cannot rewind using the stock Music Player from the Lockscreen, which is very annoying but they must have a reason for it. I use Musixmatch as my main music player.

I am not sure which version of Sense you're on, but the Sense 7 keyboard is the best I have ever used (and I own an iPhone 5, btw). I've also tried SwiftKey but my favorite 3rd party keyboard is most definitely Google Keyboard, so give it a shot.
