Anyone have trouble with Spigen Ultra Slim Air? I just got mine and the bottom-right corner is loose and squeaks every time I touch the phone. I'm thinking about returning it and getting Slim Armor.

For those who have the OtterBox Commuter and Glas.tR how is it working out so far for you? I was considering the Neo Hybrid but felt the camera area was open too much and easily scratched. Not looking for bulk but want protection.

Spigen Slim Armor

So i got the Spigen slim armor case.

Its a great case but for some reason the power button is really hard to push on it. I really got to dig my finger into it to get it to work.

Sound buttons work fine though.

Anyone else have this issue?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kgbkny:
They can be found on eBay for around $15. I couldn't decide which one I wanted, so I ordered both. Not bad for a total of $30.

By the way, can anyone tell me if these cases come with screen protectors? My apologies if this was already asked, I just don't have the patience to read 19 pages of comments.

Not much reviews for barely there. O.o

I was about to get it. Well, now I can change my mind. Anyone have reviews on it? I've done a lot of research comparing the feel pc and the barely there and got barely there to be thinner and have a better finish.

I just want a good looking case that won't add much bulk to the phone. Just ordered a White S4 from flipkart and considering to buy a black (contrast) case.

Any suggestions guys??

I've had this beautiful silicone cover on my phone from the very 1st day. After about 15 days I removed it only to find my chrome scratched & chipped at the bottom & a deep cut on each of the 4 corners of the phone. So this implies that going completelt coverless exposes the phone to much damage & keeping the phone in a cover won't help you keep scratches at bay. Only the shock absorption & heavy damage is guarded.

I am from INDIA and we have a lot of dust here so silicone covers are a big no & screen guards are must. Is there anyone who could suggest me some nice cover (within 500-1000rs range) that's durable & won't scratch my phone!

So being the sort of person the leap without looking, I uninstalled Chrome from my phone without fully understanding the issues this would cause (aside from being incredibly hard to restore I cannot update my phone). I have since attempted to restore the app, through various means including manually moving the downloaded apk into the system directory, and manually adjusting the permissions, to using titanium backup to change it for me. But every time I try to update I am greeted with the same error message telling me I cannot update as the file cannot be found "assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Chrome.apk" etc etc.

Is there something I'm missing?

Hello, I'd be grateful for some assistance. This morning my s3 was in my pocket and felt really warm. I pulled it out and it was stuck on the boot logo. I'm assuming it had been on that for a while which is why it heated up.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boomboomer:
Your partition structure of the internal storage card is corrupt, the phone is soft bricked. You can usually format and recover if you have backups, particularly of the efs folder.

If you don't then there are a few solutions here on the forum you can try, otherwise it's a Samsung repair.

[HD2 General] Nigeldg:
Please search before posting. Follow the guide in my sig and you should be fine.
[HD2 General] JoeBeam:
First u need a bootloader+recovery to be able to load different programs at boot procedure.

You have to decide if u use a NAND-Android which uses the internal (limited) storage or a version u copy to ur sd-card and load from there.

First is faster but u have limited storage. The second is slower but u can install a lot of apps because ur sd-card is much larger.
[HD2 General] king00660:

I've tried both and I like both very much. Unfortunately, both gives me problems with the Phone function. It could be me only though. Game-wise and battery-wise, both are great. Suggest you try both for yourself and then you decide. The good thing about trying these 2 epic ROMs is that you won't have to change kernels. Frankly, I feel that Codename 9.3 is a bit better than Codename X. But that's just me.

3. save the file again as *. vcf manually in the file name area

4. go to were normally saved spb files ( C:\Users\ _\Documents\samsung\Kies\PIMS)

5. you will find all the contacts saved as vcf file.

6. select all contacts and copy them in a directory (ontacts)

7. connect your samsong to the pc and copy the directory (cotacts) in to the sd card

8. disconect your samsong

9. select the contact icon

10. from the left key press and select import contact from sd

then install the following and import

Hello!

I upgraded my T-Mobile PPC to WM2003-4.0010-EN with a EXE-Installer-Kit via ActiveSync. So far, everthing is working excellent. My Problem is, that the english version only supports an englisch dictionary for writing messages. So for me, as a german, it's NOT possible to write a german message cause TranScripter recognizes only english words. The result is just bull ****. I exlpored the registry and found an entry which links to the Dictionairy-file used in TranScriber, Keyboard input etc.

So now, my friends I need one of you, using a german Operation System, WM2002 or something else, who can send me this dictionairy file called:

mssp2_EN.lex in \windows\ for german file maybe mssp2_DE.lex or

mssp2_GER.lex

Or just look out for a *.lex-File in your Windows-folder.

Then I could overwrite my old "enlisch"-File or change the REG-key.

:)

Nice, if someone could help me.

actually it would be interesting for all XDA-users in non-englisch speaking countries to know, wheter one can change some files, settings or registry entries or just replace certain files in WM2003 with the files provided from the own supplier in the PPC 2002-version to tailor the OS ( i.e. Dictionairy-file used in TranScriber, Keyboard input) to fit any language.

Anybody knows a way to do that?

I think these are probably two of the best phones being released this year. The ZL just hit the FCC for att and the Z is over seas basically the same phone just one got notification LED and the US ZL isnt fully water proof like the OG Z.

Anyway i want to compare the phones both design wise and spec wise which you think is better or would prefer.

To me i like both appearance wise, the only thing i dis like about the sony is non removable (smaller batter) than the s4. 2370mah vs 2600...

The other thing is which one packs the most speed under the hood... Im not to familiar with the Chipset, Qualcomm MDM9215M / APQ8064

CPU	Quad-core 1.5 GHz Krait, GPU Adreno 320 thats in the sony. And depending on which variant of s4 you get then there is snapdragon and exynos..

So thoughts anyone... I dont want this to be a bash this or that thread just honest comparison of the two as i think the xperia z is one of if not the closet contender to the s4 for 1080p smart phones
[Galaxy S 4 General] KLUVJ:
xperia z screen = eww =no
[Galaxy S 4 General] GuestK00328:
I have a Z and the screen is phenomenal, much better than the One X and GS3, it just doesn't look too good on videos...

Overall, I love my XZ, the waterproof is really cool and I like to show that feature off. :D

I prefer Sony due to their developer-friendliness and higher build quality.

I also love their UI, Samsung's just doesn't do it for me, and their phones don't look too nice to me either.

That is not to say that Samsung make bad phones, the specs are usually ahead (on paper), and I'm sure there are people who like the phone design/UI choices that Samsung make...
[Galaxy S 4 General] KLUVJ:
oh god comparing a 1080p to 720p and someothing not even. compare it to any other 1080p. thats where the ew comes in lol
[Galaxy S 4 General] GuestK00328:
With such a high pixel density, you can't really say that a 1080p phone screen looks that different to a 720p one... (I own both an XT and an XZ, and they look almost identical)

There isn't exactly a plethora of 1080p phones to compare it to at the moment anyway.

I have found that I prefer Sony's TFT displays, they are less saturated, although the viewing angles are worse (which is fine, I hold my phone in-front of me, not sideways :D)

But whatever, I'm not gonna say whether one is 'the best', these are just my opinions...
[Galaxy S 4 General] LordManhattan:
Don't even try to compare LCD Vs (S)AMOLED. It's not the same technology at all. (S)AMOLED is great for people loving over saturated colors (including me), whilst LCD is for people that are more into life like colors. But....

The Xperia Z is having some serious problems with its display. Consistency is the word here and the Z doesn't seem to use the same display across devices. Some devices uses Sharp displays whilst some devices uses JDC. (S)AMOLED devices has excellent viewing angles, SLCD2/3 panels are also excellent, but the Z's TFT is quite disappointing. It's a really great device - and dev friendly, but the screen is toataly ruining it for me.

The S4? Really boring. It's packed with new features, but it's soooo boring. We've seen it before.

This is my own opinion.
[Galaxy S 4 General] GuestK00328:
I see what you mean, and I understand why some people would choose AMOLED over TFT, I guess I'm just one of the people who prefer TFT...
[Galaxy S 4 General] DJsCrIBbLe:
Oh ya totally forgot about the different screens. For i probably wouldn't care which my phone had.

Personally i like the s4 since its got the latest tech but to me they did good tech wise but are getting lazy in the appearance and software side of the phone game..

Sure you could probably say a galaxy looks the way it does because that makes it a galaxy but I feel the s4 should of had a bold new design and either less of a tw skin or a completely overhauled tw like no one has ever seen before. Guess I'm getting bored with they're products that's why i am leaning toward the zl because i like the software skin and design of the phone...

[Galaxy S 4 General] Entropy512:
Yeah. I love the Z's display.

It's slightly behind the GS4 in terms of CPU (1.5 GHz quad Krait instead of 1.9) - but that really only matters on benchmark epeen. The raw hardware performance advantage will be thrown away by Samsung's bloat and atrocious software incompetence. Samsung Touchwizz is revolting and bloated, constantly assaulting you to sign up for a Samsung account until you give in or nuke the bloat. Sony's stock firmware, on the other hand, is so clean and well done that the ONLY thing I've done to my device after rooting so far has been to freeze the charge reminder in TiBu.

I'll be switching to CM10.1 soon, but that's more because I'm a CM maintainer and that is what I do, not because of deficiencies in the Sony stock firmware. If I had to run 100% unmodified stock on a device, the Z is the first non-Nexus device I've felt that I might be able to tolerate such an experience.
