    What's rooting on Galaxy S5 and how do I do it?

    Alrighty. So I thought I got a version that wouldn't work in the USA. Turns out, the G900F factory unlocked works fine in the US. Anywho, the warranty is only available in Singapore, which means I don't give a carp about voiding it. Am I ever going to be able to "walk in" for service? Nope...

    Singtel sticker??

    So I opened my phone up today (UK g900f), and it's got this stupid singtel sticker on the back of it. Is that normal??

    Does your version of the S5 get 4G LTE?

    Hmm.... yeah, Best Buy doesn't have it, and neither does Newegg, Amazon, the Samsung website, Target... nowhere. The only place I could find it for about that price was Ebay, from a seller who has very good feedback and a huge amount of sales. Is it crazy to buy through there?

    Does your version of the S5 get 4G LTE?

    So I screwed up and bought the wrong version for the USA. About to try this again, but all the listings for the AT&T unlocked version of the s5 (G900A) say that it only gets 3G. However, when I talked to the samsung rep. specifically about this, they said that it is capable of it. Who's right...

    Am I screwed?

    So I bought a GS5 online, and while waiting for it to arrive I discovered that it was an internationally unlocked phone (G900F), and I'm in the USA. Apparently the G900F is the European version? Anyways, so my carrier says that most likely it won't work because it's not domestically unlocked...

    Is one fake? Straight Talk question, and did I just fail miserably...?

    Hey all! Couple questions for you. So I just ordered my S5 a couple days ago, super excited! While waiting for it to arrive, something dawned on me. I've seen that if you look up videos and images, some phones have "Galaxy s5" written on the backs near the bottom and some just have "Samsung"...

    Is one a fake?

    Thanks guys, I'll try these for sure. But why do some S5's have "galaxy s5" written on the back near the bottom, and some of them don't? You see both all over the internet, and I was wondering if it just has to do with what version, etc. I want to know if I should be concerned if mine doesn't...

    Straight Talk and Internationally Unlocked Phones

    Question. I have straight talk, and am switching phones. I've read some conflicting info on this. When I spoke to two reps, each told me that you can't activate an internationally unlocked phone with them. I also provided them with the 4g LTE bands that the internationally unlocked phone I...

    Writing on back of GS5

    Hi, I just tried posting this, but funny enough this site is malfunctioning on my phone. Anyway, I'm waiting for my gs5 to arrive in the mail from Amazon. It's coming from a third party seller, so I'm slightly concerned about legitimacy, thought they good good reviews. This raised the question...

    Is one a fake?

    So this might be a stupid question, but I'm waiting for my GS5 to come in the mail from a third party seller through Amazon. I'm slightly concerned about legitimacy, because it's not from Amazon itself. This raised the question of how would I even tell if it was fake? Which brought to mind my...
