[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiefroberts:
I'm rocking an iPhone 5 right now and I'm seriously considering changing to the S4 when it comes out.

However I had the Galaxy Nexus before the iPhone and loved sweet creamy vanilla android so I might wait and see what the Nexus 5 is going to be like!

Wasn't blown away by the HTC one which I was surprised by because I'd usually (and have) choose HTC over Samsung!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Reviewers:
I'll be upgrading.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misiakr:
I'm not sure if its worth upgrading, but i'd like :). The most important thing in this mobile phone in my opinion is 2 gb ram- 1 gb in sgs 3 isnt enough...

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony763:
Have a Nexus 4 since release and loving the pure googleness :silly:. Never again will I have to wait just to get the latest Android version on my phone. I've dealt with the frustration for the past couple of years when a new version of Android is release and believe me it sucks big time when your handset won't get it for coming months/years afterward(and when they do, its freakin buggy).

Out of all smartphones that i've owned: G1, Vibrant, EVO 4G, EVO Shift 4G, EVO 3D, Droid, Droid 2, Droid X, Fascinate, Epic 4G, Epic 4G Touch, and S3; All the Samsung phones gave me the WORST GPS experience and reliability ever. I lost count as to how many times the GPS won't even work for me when I need it to. The only thing I would miss from Samsung is the AMOLED screen but I can live without it. All the cool gimicky features are fun to use at first but later will just be an annoyance when flashing new roms :eek:.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] REVERSiN:
the lag isn't entirely a samsung fault android usually does lag cause of its damn memory management :/ then again samsung includes so many features the the RAM just screams !! STTTTOOOPP ITTTT !! its usually taken by shipped software ( not saying bloatware) some are actually very usefull and handy, but we can hope on next generation android the system will become even more Speedy and easy on RAM :D

iam definitely buying this phone cause my poor old SGN was fried and i have to get one currently running with a nokia (eek) yeah harsh but understandable hehe....
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chiefroberts:
I hear that broseph! Stock Android is delightful. Might hold out for the Nexus 5 over S4.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Closed Source Project:
After my HTC One S, I am getting real sick of HTC and Sense (albeit, Sense has changed on the One). Development was pretty crappy on my device, maybe b/c it wasn't as popular. I am choosing the S4 because of the better battery, larger screen, and removable storage. It is a very hard decision since TouchWiz is not so attractive and Samsung uses plastic x1000 for the external.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kinggame992000:
I think I will.. since im still holding dear to my at&t captivate.... I like to try something quad core for a change ....ofcourse excluding my nexus 7 >.<
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-Man.:
I miss my old captivate - still a great device with awesome development even today!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] psychomaniac189:
nexus4 would be nice, but its missing expandable storage and removable battery. You can always flash a ROM that has the latest os, if you get a developer for it. Hopefully this is the case with the s4 and yes I've read the articles on ppl saying devs not going to work on it. We'll see when it actually comes out. I've been holding onto my gnex for a better phone and I believe this is it.

As things stand now I will be getting an S4 though I'll wait till the dust settles and both models are available and chose the one that suits me best.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D4rKlar:
Samesame, skipped the SIII.

Was considering the Xperia Z, although I'm almost decided on the S 4 now (and feeling a little guilty of my choice given what's gone on, but I just prefer the hardware).
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hell_storm2004:
Why is it that everytime Samsung releases a new Galaxy i find myself in a financial tight spot. :(

And my adamant nature of not moving to contract has prevented me to go for anything!

My contract is almost up so the launch of the S4 is perfect timing for me :D

I am gonna get my Galaxy S IV, even if it means me taking a payday loan! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Razzzzer:
Yes

I will most likely get the S4 (coming from the Epic 4g Touch).

The real question is what carrier to pick in SoCal.... Sprint exerience has been terrible. Leaning toward Verizon (again) or maybe T-Mobile :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hell_storm2004:
AT&T or Verizon. You cant go wrong with either. Verizon is slightly better. But AT&T is good too. The difference is hardly noticeable.

I will still keep my Galaxy S for development stuff.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AliceBToklas:
Started to look around recently to replace my DINC2 and really liked the SGSIII. Naturally, I then started my research and found out about the SGS4 about to announce. I like what I've read and looking forward to it being available on Verizon. Still have to grapple with the whole unlimited data/upgrade issue and costs though but the 4 looks really nice. Decisions, decisions.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Euthye:

[HTC Droid DNA] krelvinaz:
​

I wrote a web converter that takes a properly sized image (1080x1920) converts it into a IMG file and packages it up into a zip file which you download. Unziping the file will provide you with a splash.img file which you would place into your ADB directory and then use fastboot to load onto your phone.

YOU MUST HAVE S-OFF for this to work!

This is

ONLY

for the HTC Droid DNA​

Prerequisites:

ENG HBOOT

S-OFF

How it works.

o You create an image.

o Image must be 1080x1920 in size

o Image must be in png, jpg or gif format

o Go to the converter website: http://droid.tnet.com/dnasplashgen and upload your image

What the converter does

o checks that the image uploaded is the right type

o checks that the image is the correct dimensions

o converts the image to a splash.img file

o creates a zip file with this image file in a unique id zip file

o Presents you with the ability to download the file.

What you need to then

o After you download the zip file onto your hard drive. Extract the included splash.img file contained in it.

o Move it to your ADB directory

o Boot phone into fastboot mode.

o Open command prompt in ADB directory and type in:

fastboot flash splash1 splash.img

o When complete use the next command to reboot your phone

fastboot reboot

Web Generator

o http://droid.tnet.com/dnasplashgen

Other Splash Generators:

HTC Rezond

HTC EVO 4G LTE
[HTC Droid DNA] Dave51495:
So you just upload a picture and it provides you with the .img? If not, what exactly is it?
[HTC Droid DNA] krelvinaz:
You create a picture that is 1080x1920 in jpg, png or gif format... upload it.

The generator converts it into the proper img format (something like: ffmpeg -i uploaded.png -f rawvideo -pix_fmt rgb565 splash1.img ), creates a Zip file with the necessary files (android-info.txt) and lets you download it.

I believe (as I don't have the DNA to test) but you rename the file as PL83IMG.zip, stick it in the root of your SDcard and flash it.

I already have a few samples in the gallery, but I've not yet had anyone try one. http://droid.tnet.com/dnasplashgen/gallery
[HTC Droid DNA] xlxfoxxlx:
Nope the DNA doesn't have a removable sd card so you have to flash it via fastboot
[HTC Droid DNA] JWhetstone02:
I generated one, and flashed the IMG via fastboot

fastboot flash splash1 image.img

worked fine for me. thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] krelvinaz:
DELETED
[HTC Droid DNA] krelvinaz:
I've updated the first post and activated the pages on my site.

I am still using a zip file due to the size of the generated img file which is 4gb in size. The zip file makes this significantly smaller for storage and transfer.

ADB is needed along with S-OFF and the ENG Hboot.

Sorry I assumed the qa section is for general qa. Though that in development section some dev would help me right away or give me the facts.

[Desire Android Development] dwegiel:
I am going to undertake this challenge on the Eternity kernel, provided that it will run on my HTC Desire CDMA bravoc.

Appears like by default the fork causes my device to hang at the HTC logo... no dice. Will mod the support package.

Still no go, turns out NO usb host kernel exists for BravoC... back to LM I go to try and mod cm-kernel or possibly tiamat.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] runaway:
I have ATT HOX 2.20, unlocked, rooted, superCID, S-off, latest TWRP (thanks to all of you). I'm prett lost as to where to go next. I'd like to keep all of this and update to the latest stock ota Jellybean. However, when I check for ATT updates on the phone, nothing happens, even when I manually check in.

I would like the latest and greatest on this phone but more important is full functionality and full stability. If I could hit a button, return this phone to original, and download the latest ota, I would. I would then just use Titanium Backup to remove any bloatware that I didn't like. But I (and I suspect many others) spent weeks unlocking this phone because it was unclear when, or if, an official JB would ever arrive. So here I am, stuck in an inbetween moment. The part where this site offers way too many options with unclear results. I am looking for the least complicated, way to get the most fully functional and stable JB onto this phone and I'll be done. And, I can't figure out if it's the official update or one of a thousand offered Roms, kernels, radios, etc. Any and all specific advice would be appreciated. And, as always, thank you to all who post here. I've had a lot of fun (and a few scary moments).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] strommer666:
Why do you want to go stock? Stock currently has only 4.1.1. There are various ROMs on the XDA, if you want a sense one try out the Viper XL and also there are various options for non-sense ROMs.

Anyways if you do want to flash the stock ROM here is the link: -

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2181399

Make sure you rea carefully before you flash the stock one from anywhere. There have been bricks. Also check out the FAQs. Hope this helped
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ImagioX1:
I think pretty much everybody here will tell you to stay away from the new ota. It offers nothing new and some people have even bricked their phones while updating. My suggestion would be to install one of the custom roms as they're better optimissed and don't have all the bloat and are more customizable. I've found viperxl to be as stable as stock while adding a load of tweaks to highly personalize it. Cleanrom on the other hand doesn't have all the tweaks but is a stripped down Rom that's fast and stable. But you'll have to try you like best but I advise you not to ota. The ota will also update your touchscreen firmware that causes a lot of problems for cm users. If you think you might want to install cm10 don't update.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ECEXCURSION:
If you want stock flash CleanROM 6 r2. In fact, just flash everything in my signature + turge's WiFi fix. That will give you the latest "stock" experience for AT&T.

Sent from my HTC One XL
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
There's no need to "stay away" from the OTA if you know what you're doing. It contains some updates that are not in any of the Sense ROMs. If you want to update everything on your phone, it's easy and safe to do so since you're s-off. The only people who bricked were SuperCID and s-on. Here's what to do:

-Confirm that you're s-off (just to be safe)

-Make a full backup and copy it off your phone.

-Run 2.20 ruu. You need this to restore stock recovery.

-Download the ota, rename update.zip, and copy to internal storage.

-Reboot to bootloader, select recovery, press power and vol+ to get to recovery dialog.

-Ignore errors that come up. Select install from internal storage, select update.zip. Your phone may reboot a couple of times. Return to bootloader when done.

-Push custom recovery back on.

-Flash rooted rom

-Restore backups as necessary

I did all this a couple of weeks ago, and my phone is running faster and more smoothly than ever.

You will need to downgrade your touchscreen firmware if you ever plan to use an AOSP rom.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] runaway:
I'll try this

This is what I'm looking for. My second choice would be the highly recommended Viper Rom, and thirdly a CleanRom. I tried the CleanRom once and softbricked my phone so I'm a little shy now. I like the HTC Sense and don't mind keeping it. I just want a ROM designed specifically for this phone where everything works, is updated, and is stable. I feel like the official ota is the answer. The info on this site gets quite scattered when you get to this point. Do I stay locked, or do I re-lock? Do I keep TWRP or not? Do I flash or update? Boot image extract or no? S-off ok or no? etc. etc. I'll try your way first. Provided I come out the other side ok, I'll post the results here. Thank you for your help.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] iElvis:
Also, to clarify, by "backup" I meant both a nandroid (always a good idea when making changes), and your user apps+data.

When restoring, only restore user apps. A nandroid will put you back where you were. Don't restore system apps+data either, as this can cause problems, esp when upgrading your base.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] runaway:
Just to confirm, After downloading OTA and doing my backups, I need to find the original 2.20 file for this phone and restore stock recovery? (I'll have to admit, I'm a bit lost on this site and overwhelmed by all of the files I've downloaded to get this far. If anyone can post a link here to this file, and or, instructions, I'd appreciate it)

Hi guys,

Bit of backstory: broke the tablet a week ago and sent it to ASUS in Hong Kong for repair. After the diagnosis, ASUS told me only the screen was broken and charged me for repairing just that. However, now streams from apps such as TwitchTV and estreamtv just don't load. This wasn't an issue before the tablet broke. Youtube worked beforehand and still works now.

While I believe this is just an issue with something additional being broken that the ASUS engineer missed, thought I'd leave a question here seeing if anybody else has had or knows about similar problems.
