Just found this, haven't had a chance to test it out, but it shows that it is activated.
Using Nova as you launcher: long press on homescreen, go to shortcuts and then Activities. Expand Settings and you'll see a label for Download Booster. This will put the shortcut on your home screen, from there you can activate it.
As I said I have not tested a download so don't skewer me if it doesn't work.

testing out now. will report soon
Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work. I downloaded a 50MB test file -- LTE never kicked in. The entire file was downloaded over WiFi. Damn, this workaround looked promising
Thanks for the tip, though. Maybe (hopefully) this helps speed the process along to actually get it implemented for us.
doesn't appear to be working. I enabled it but it doesn't show any toggle to turn on when your downloading files and there is no notification saying its working.
OMG THAT WORKS. It is there. Wow. You are the best.
EDIT: I CAN CONFIRM IT DOESN'T WORK.
Doesn't work, but you can also use anycut to get to that menu. Just so everyone knows.

Despite it NOT working, I think we are really onto something here. This means they left the feature in the phone, they just turned it off somewhere. Maybe if we can get root, a developer can find a way to turn this on somehow. I don't need the toggle.

+1. This tells us that it's there, but most likely permanently frozen, or broken in AT&Ts TouchWiz purposely. I'm sure through rooting it can be brought in, once it's better understood on the phone versions that do have it.

That's what the rumor was/is. The reasoning behind that: they disabled it due to software not being ready on their end in time for the official launch. Considering other US carriers also disabled it (Verizon, Sprint, etc) I find that rumor hard to believe. My guess is the only way we'll see the feature on our phones is through a root method, unfortunately.
Ok, stupid question, but, how can you tell if it IS working? Is there a benchmark operation that we KNOW works on the TMO model which has it activated that we can see if it actually doesn't work? Just curious....not challenging anyone's reporting, but wondering if the download doesn't meet the criteria for it....

I enabled it on our phone and went to download the game "Fast 6" which is over 200 MB big download from the Play Store... that was the same test done I saw on a T-Mobile S5 and download booster was working in full swing.. I repeated that screenshot on my end and the download booster icon (event though it was there) never lit up and displayed stats like that T-Mo screenshot did.

So you're saying it does work, just doesn't have a visual indicator (the icon doesn't turn white) that it's working? Cuz, I'm kinda ok with that until they "officially" turn it on (not holding my breath) in the next OTA update.....

well, it "activates" but almost looks like a dummy activation, because it's not doing what it should be doing according to all the screenshots out there. I don't know if it was actually downloading faster or not... I have 50Mbps wifi and 20Mbps LTE where I live

Yeah, so I "tested" the download six times, 3 sets of 2, for the first 100mb, three times with DB "enabled" and three times just on wifi. No significant result. The timing was practically identical (no statistical significance between the two sets). Oh well.....maybe on the next update ROTFLMAO! :laugh:
i have the T-mobile version unlocked and on ATT. see screenshot.
FYI- After enabling DB, you can uninstall Nova Launcher and DB is still 'enabled', even after a reboot.
Thread cleaned.

A friend of mine gave me this awesome app that basically lets your phone roam on Verizons network! This is by far the best app I've used. I work at the lower level at my job so my phone is constantly scanning towers and has poor signal while on the sprint network. The end result is excessive battery drain. When I force roam on verizon's network, I get a full 5 bars and my battery lasts 50% longer. Attached is the apk. Enjoy! (This requires root access)
Edit: Sorry guys, I was told that this is a paid app so it has to come down.
Reversable?

Seems to work to switch but for some reason my cell phone will not get any service at all with ROAM ONLY toggled

I have 3-5 bars sprint service here but I find it hard to believe there would be no verizon service here and for that I think that this may not be working for me properly not saying it doesn't work just saying it doesn't seem to be working for me.

That's odd. It works just fine for me. I'm on a stock rooted rom. Are you using a custom rom?
Be careful. I've heard if you are on roaming for too much of the month, sprint will cancel your service.

Yes, that is correct. Please only use this in areas where sprint service is unavailable or poor. Do not leave it on roam all the time. I only use it at work and I hardly make calls while on it. I just enjoy the extended battery life without having to go on airplane mode. As soon as I leave work, I put it back to automatic.
Thank you,
Thank you so much, I never have a good reception at home and as soon as I changed it to roam only with this app, it was like BAM! 3~4 bars.
Even the voicemail works! WOOOT!

sweet thanks, i'll check it out.
The app works just as advertised, but is there any way to automate it, or a similar app that has that feature?
Meaning, my work building is like the Sprint service black hole, but I get perfect service when roaming on Verizon's tower. Yes, I could manually switch using this app every time I get to work to save battery and then manually switch when I leave, but I'd love if there was a way to make this app do it automatically or another app that has that feature where it would always switch to whatever tower had the strongest signal strength.
Is there anything out there?

Hey guys,
Found the problem you are having. Look in titanium backup and see if you have Verizon Signon Services 1.something in there. You need that. Flash the most recent radio and ROM and it should be bundled with it (it is with BAMF 1.5 at least). I am sure there are alternate ways of getting this on your phone though.
Looking at my titanium backup, it's called: "Verizon Single Sign-On Engine 1.0.13"
You need that for the NFL app to work and be able to verify the needed info and such

I don't have the Verizon Signon Services 1, well, at least I couldn't find it...Where did you see that? Also, maybe it is because I don't have the most recent radio? I doubt it though. I don't want to flash it because I've read people are having trouble with reboots and poor battery life. Was going to wait till another one leaks. But that might be the reason...

Hey you definitely need the Verizon Single Sign-On Engine for the NFL app to work at least, not sure if the version matters, but that is definitely a must.
As far as I can tell I came from BAMF 1.3* and I de-sensed it and it wasn't included then, I ran into the same issue as you, upgraded to 1.5 and flashed the new radio and noticed it in my listings.
Here is a screenshot of my titanium backup app list with the Verizon Sign-On Engine showing:

I think it would be pretty sweet to get a lock screen that "scanned your fingerprint".
I know there is probably no way for the Xoom to actually do that but seems like something cool.
I am thinking like a button you touched with a slider of light that starts slightly above and "scans" down then back up... maybe a second and a half delay....
Sounds like a pretty cool idea. And it might be possible. I'll see if I can come up with something to add to my current project.
Just a little test trial. Worked out pretty nicely to be honest. Might try to enhance it in the near future if there's a high demand for it. Here's a couple screen shots.

I'm glad you like it. I will put it in an .zip and PM you after I get off work. Also i'll have a full theme for tiamat rom within a few days or so depending on how busy I get. Still unsure if I will have this lock screen as default on it, as it still needs to be customized a bit.
For those of you that wanted the lock screen, i've added it to the stock framework for tiamat 1.1 rom only. All you have to do is use root explorer or something similiar and move the file in to /system/framework/ and overwrite the existing framework-res.apk.
If you have a special request for this in a different rom, or stock files just ask. I can easily add it. If you use it, and enjoy it, than don't forget to thank.

What about facial recognition using the front facing camera?
I love the whole idea.
To add to it, create an invisible hotspot, say the bottom left corner.
You have to hold here and then scan your finger print.
If you only scan it fails, if you hold the magic spot and scan, it passes.
Could you incorporate this with the security features of the Xoom, instead of the pattern lock!?!?!?

It should work with XoomZone. I'm not sure what other modifications he has done to the framework-res.apk, so if he has any extras it could possible wipe them out and put you back on a stock tiamat 1.1 framework.
If you run something other than tiamat rom just pm me with your info and ill put it in the correct framework.
works good with XoomZone. It does however remove alot of the Blue themeing.

NO! I do not suggest replacing the 3.2 framework with the old 3.1. Unfortunately Verizon is being retarded and hasn't released 3.2 for 3g models yet. As soon as this becomes readily available for me I will make some adjustments and create a thread with modifications for every version.

My wife's new HP computer uses the built-in webcam to do facial recognition to log her in. The software is called HP ProtectTools I think.. but instead of just using the fingerprint reader to allow login.. it took about 15 pictures of her face. Then when she has to log in, she clicks the facial option and the webcam turns on. It logged her in instantly. She can still use the fingerprint or manually type in a keyword in case the facial recognition doesn't work.
That would be a cool addition.

Try visidon app lock...(search in the market).....it locks app.... uses face recognition......but you could use it just after unlocking the normal lock screen by keeping an app running in the background( the app shouldd be ticked in the checklist of the app lock and it should work with multitasking.....)....

Also trying above methods to get hotspot working are not working on the Sprint 64gb Note 5. Pdanet+ connects via wifi with limited internet access and changing the apn requires no msl # but doesn't seem to change anything since there is not hotspot/tethering option in settings
Edit: confirmed hotspot working 8/22/2015 sprint 64gb note 5 if you are missing hotspot setting in settings do a factory reset
I have two SPRINT Note 5 32GB. I can confirm that the first post works. I did sprint CSR online chat and without any questions was given the MSL for both phones (separate chats). With that I was easily able to follow directions and get Wifi Hotspot on both phones working. Now I need to work on a shortcut app or if possible get the factory hotspot toggles in the menu.
I was able to enter view mode after ##3282# and edit apn settings without need of msl on 64gb note 5
Is there a way to create a shortcut in the quicksettings for the hotspot?

If you don't get the answer you need here (as its really new) check the Note 4 forum. This is nothing new or different from previous phones. If the Note 4 (or others) on T-mobile was good you'll be the same on the Note 5. It just enables the stock tethering.

Well its really a 2 min fix. As i said online chat and ask for your msl. Problem solved for good. It was as easy as asking for it.

Yes but if they find out phones that have view and edit mode universal and find out that "dun" enables unlimited hotspot they could patch it but i really think that was just supposed to be known to the service provider workers or samsung themselves? Could i have possibly gotten a developer version of the device by accident? If i do an imei check my model comes up G900 Galaxy S 5 WTF!

There is a new software update available for the Note 5 as of 9/26. Im wondering if this will take our hotspot away.
Got the pie update tonight on my ATT V40. Def feel a difference in overall feel. Nice and snappy. Will report back with other impression once I have more time on it.

Fresh ROM install is properly 'crisp'. Give it a few days, and that will, most likely, settle in. At least you know it went well, and that nothing you have is conflicting. Welcome to your piece of the Pie!

After a couple of reboots, the animations definitely seem smoother. Other than that it feels about the same as Oreo. Minor changes, but better than nothing.
One thing that is fixed for me at least, is the location coming on even after I turned it off. Before the update the location was basically on all the time.

Do you remember how big the update was? I had put my phone on the charger for the night and it woke up the screen that a download was available. When I clicked install, it rebooted and hung for a while on the AT&T logo. It finally booted up and the software info is correct. It must have downloaded the actual update in the background. Oh well, maybe a few bug fixes, but so far I can't tell any difference. Almost seemed like a security update.

Yea mine did the same thing. Was kinda weird.
I'm surprised you don't notice any difference. It's not revolutionary or anything but it's there. Try using this: 1dot1dot1dot1.cloudflare-dns.com as your private DNS.

Next is the Unlocked US version I hope. I'm going to see if I can keep my unlocked bootloader when I flash over to it.
Another observation: I used to have issues with WiFi calling dropping in and out in certain areas of my house. I used to think it was coverage but I have 3 Google WiFi pucks in a 3800sqft house. After this update though it hasn't dropped once. And since my location issue is fixed my battery life is back to normal. 61% left with a 2:30 hours of sot

WIFI scanning for foreground apps is crippled in PIE. 30 seconds between scans and no option to whitelist WIFI scanner apps.
Battery life is greatly improved for me (25% longer lasting so far) but auto-brightness does seem to be quite a bit more aggressive. Phone feels much snappier, too. Camera responses, especially when zooming/toggling between lenses seems improved.
This could be an AT&T app I haven't disabled or something else completely, but since the update I no longer receive any notifications when my phone is connected to my car's bluetooth. I get what looks like enhanced Android Auto experience (again, could be just update to AA app) when using Native Android Auto in my Civic. Notifications [I do get these when phone is plugged into car/AA is active] and navigation in general are much snappier and appear in a more crisp and desirable manner.
The only issue I have with it so far is that I no longer get notifications while I'm in my car (again, maybe unrelated to the Pie update). Otherwise it is behaving almost like a new phone again like it did back in October, or maybe even a little faster.

Sprint lg v40 pie
I still haven't got the update to LG v40. is there a way that I can download the pie for att since its the same variant model number as the sprint one, just in case everyone didn't know the sprint and att lg v40 is the same model number, so I was wondering if I can somehow download the v40 att pie update and flash it on the stock browser or sideload it. either way, anyone have the download to manually do it?
