Same here. Came up with crazy stuff.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
No sd card, no Moto X. Pretty much the only spec I needed to see.

I realize at some point I may have no choice, as more and more manufacturers are taking this option away, but until that day arrives I will always pick a phone with sd slot over a phone without one.

I dislike the inference that we can simply use cloud services. I prefer having my data on my device and backed up to the cloud, as opposed to depending solely on the cloud.

Also, if they aren't going to include sd slots then they need to at least do what Apple does and offer multiple versions of the device with different storage capacities.

Yeah I know a 64gb iPhone will run you almost a grand, but at least it's available. These Android phones without sd slots that come only in 16 or 32gb (if you're lucky) versions aren't cutting it. I love my S4, but so much of the internal storage was chewed up by the system I couldn't even begin to use it without the sd option, especially before the update that brought back apps2sd.

So, in summation, either keep including sd slots or offer 16, 32 & 64gb (at least) versions.

Anywho, I'm actually relieved the Moto X is no longer in contention. Bring on the next wave of new devices (preferably smaller than the mega line).
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
I totally agree with you. I've been looking at that microsd card adapter from the Earlier kickstarter in hope that I buy one to use it in devices like the HTC one etc..

I saw something just the other day that sounds like exactly what you're looking for. Unfortunately I can't remember the name of it, or even which site I found it on but I'm looking for it! lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
I hate it when that happens. When it does I spend a lot of time looking through my history on the browsers. ;)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
I would if I had all the parts and knew exactly how OTG works on your phone. Does it require pins 4 and 5 to be shorted with a simple wire or resistor? If a resistor is needed, what resistance? Do those pins even need to be shorted? Stuff like that. I'm sure I could find a spec sheet online for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Voilà!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Close, but not what Febby is looking for.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Esoteric68:
Oops, yeah I read his initial post wrong but this little gadget allows you to skip the sd card, becoming it instead.

Might be a good alternative for what he wants.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Possibly but it looks to be triple the size of what he wants. It would just be a large dongle sticking out of the device. What he wants is something small with a very small footprint.

Feb, I'll start throwing a prototype together this evening. I have an idea to make it super small and possibly invisible. When i get my S4,ill be able to test and make changes to the design. I need to go find a male micro USB and a micro sd reader I can pull apart. I think I have both.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
Yeah I want something small In size haha. I've tried options that were too big and of course I tend to forget so ended up bending. ;)

I hope Sammy sticks with micro sd cards. I have a 64 gb in my note 2 as well as one in my note 10.1. I will be royally disappointed if they stopped including them. It's one of the features of Android!

Only that Sammy is now enforcing locked bootloaders (on att and Verizon.. in bed with NSA? :p) which is being a huge turn off unless you buy international unbranded for now.

Pull the battery and use only your power supply. See what happens.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Tried that, same results. The old battery never had that issue, but when I put it back in, the computer won't power on. I've pulled the plug and run on just the battery fine, the charger causes black screen any time it's plugged in. I have a hard time believing the power supply went bad in the 5 minutes it took me to swap batteries. It's a real pain to be in the middle of an online course and have a black screen:rolleyes:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Febby:
The S4 on both verizon and att with the latest Mf3 (att) and me7 (vz). There is a total of like $4,000 in bounty. I think Samsung used a rsa 2048 bit encyrption and other strong measurements to prevent bootloader being unlocked by request of vz and att. If you read the vz s4 general bounty thread you'll probably see the bigger picture. Thankfully tmobile and.sprint and international models are unaffected.

What they did was blow an efuse with some crazy encryption... Downgrading causes a brick, installing any bootloader exploit causes a brick, having a girly fart would probably brick it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
S4 is in the vehicle for delivery! I am so excite!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
When the screen is on for 15 seconds, does everything display properly?

And try this - if you have external monitor support, try and hook it up to anything. See if it displays there.

If it doesn't - the video card may be at fault. (And if it's integrated that means a mobo change.)

If it does keep up it may be the cable from the mobo to the LCD screen. (Easier fix)

And if it's under warranty - just send it in now. It clearly needs repair and should be covered. A battery change shouldn't do that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
You're mixing up things. Let me see if I can clear it up:

According to talks with jcase and bliss they are using the QFuse (a one-way "fuse" that can be "blown" or physical connection destroyed by triggering an electric signal) as a method of versioning. Thus those using a lower version ID will not and physically cannot run on the device any longer. So even if you had an earlier leak... it's useless. And new ones, even if you get an engineering leak - may be tied to certain devices where if you try to run it on an "unauthorized" device... bad news.

There is the Loki exploit, which allowed a signature to be snuck in the boot process from a kernel or recovery because of the way the bootloader performed the boot process. This vulnerability has been patched as of the last update for AT&T and Verizon so it is no longer possible to use this exploit.

The bootloader itself is signed by Samsung - so even if one could generate a "unlocked" bootloader you would need the package and fingerprint to digitally sign it properly as if it was Sammy. That's probably not going to happen.

Simple solution to this though - buy the developer edition. (They're not saying no technically - just no to a standard model.)

And FWIW - I'd wait. Many big things happening this month and I wonder if another dev isn't sitting on it until it can be released in front of a crowd. (I believe BBQ and XDADev Con are this month, right?)

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sniper:
This sounds a ton like how Microsoft patched jtagging (kind of like rooting) on the Xbox 360. An efuse was blown when you updated to a certain version in which the vulnerability had been fixed. This happened years ago and there still isn't a way to jtag one that's been updated. There is however a different exploit which does work but requires a little more work.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Yep, and after reading more about this I'm not surprised it hasn't been picked up mainstream already. I'm pretty sure those not adopting this will be soon - it's a great for security. If set properly you could burn a fuse and render a device inop - which is great for stolen/lost devices. (Think gov't use...)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
But it hurts the development community. They should have that update upon request if someone wants security, they can get it, if not, leave it be. It is a forced update.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
I thought the evo 3d was pretty awesome the way the gained s-off. Bricking thr phone then using linux to downgrade. Although it provably wouldnt work because of the q fuse on the s4. Still pretty interesting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Stryke_the_Orc:
Yes, while it's up everything works and displays properly. Had it hooked up to my tv via HDMI and displayed perfectly on there. I'm almost wondering if the power cord is shorting something else. The battery was the replacement part directly from hp, so I wouldn't think that's a cause. Unfortunately its no longer under warranty, so if I can hold out until October I'll be getting a new one with the return of part of my student loan.

This whole thing is just mind boggling:screwy:

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Sending you gtalk messages - think I can help narrow it down. (Edit: We got it narrowed down now. Backlight issue.)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
I figured it was something with the power options. Back light falls under that, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] garwynn:
Probably unrelated in this case.

Remote possibility the new battery finally gave the correct amount of juice and finally did it in.

Either way seems to be a common issue for this laptop - and fortunately cheaper to fix than replace.

The dead giveaway - in case anyone has a similar issue:

If the screen is working at any point, try flashing a flashlight at the screen.

If you can see the screen and it's just very dim, good chance it's a backlight issue.

The strangest part is it works fine running on just the battery, but AC power kills the screen:screwy:

UPDATE: It would seem that the problem was in fact with the battery. After two full charge and discharge cycles, my screen is now functioning properly both on battery and power. It must have been supplying an incorrect voltage somehow and shorting the backlight. Whatever the case, I'm just glad to have my computer back in working order as I need it for school, and this one needs to last me until the end of my first term.

Thank you everyone who helped me diagnose and troubleshoot, and a huge thanks to [MENTION=4194834]garwynn[/MENTION] for finding the resources and parts for me if/when they need to be replaced.
