Just got My gs4 a few days ago and ive been doing a bunch of searching. I came from an infuse, and i was a flashaholic.

My noob question is:

Im on baseband version MF3. What can i do as of now as far as being limited by my baseband? I havent flashed anything or began rooting my phone do to the uncertainty of my baseband version. As of now what am i allowed to do, what can i flash? If i flash, and if i need to go back stock will it be possible? Is cyanogen available for me?

I would just like someone to confirm what ive searched, since im not really up to date as some of you are. Also will there be a work around the MF3? Besides the few roms that you can flash(Google Rom).

Most the posts i found were back in sept/oct, just wondering if anything has changed.

Thank you in advance fellas!

Hi...If its the firmware that came with the phone then it will put the phone back to the same state as when you got it from Hongkong so its entirely upto you if you chose to flash that firmware! ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Start with the fist page of this thread and have a look a the links there to get you started.

The good news is that your current baseband is nothing more than that, it's the current one. See it as a version number nothing more. You can flash whatever Rom you like as long as it is made for your phone type (it would helpful if you mention it next time, or even better put it in your signature)

Hello friends,

I recently found out that folder mount enables us to mount obb files of large games like fifa 14 , asphalt 8 etc etc

I have the following queies

1) My ext sd card too has a folder /Android/obb

Whats the point of this folder?

2) Now my obb folder in internel sd is about 3.5 GB. If i wish to mount it to ExtSD how much free space do i need there?

3) Does the app MOVE odd folder to ExtSD or does something else?

4) In case i wish to play asphalt, will the obb files related to asphalt need to be reshifted to IntSD temporarily.

What i mean by this, is that even if obb folder is mounted and IntSD is absolutely full, will playing games be possible or no due to lack of space?

Thanks

Hello, a friend of mine has a S4 with build I9505XXUDMH6. There's a problem with the earphones - when somebody calls him with earphones attached and he picks up the call, there's no sound coming neither from the earphones, nor from the phone. If he picks up the call and connect the earphones afterwards, he's able to hear the person calling, but otherwise - not. what can be this issue? i searched the settings and i can see no special settings for calls with earphones attached. My S3 works normally with earphones attached, i don't experience such issue. Tried with other earphones on his S4 and the result is the same.

I have told you before that I have not used that app.

But logically,the app is used to move your data to sd card.

After which the Keyboard via the dock stopped working. no input from the external keyboard is taking up in phone, however the mouse is working.

Problem with SlimRom 1342 on Galaxy S4

Hello Forum,

I am a newbie of custom rom topics.

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9505 international version.

I flashed the [ROM][4.3.1]Slimbean Stable Build 2 Official 1342

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2409502

I downloaded it from here:

http://www.slimroms.net/index.php/downloads/dlsearch/viewcategory/963-jfltexx

It was the Slim-jfltexx-4.3.build.2-OFFICIAL-1342.zip File.

Beforehand I did this CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505.tar.md5

As far as I know, this Kernel is installed:

KT-SGS4-JB4.3-AOSP-INTL-11.08.2013.zip

All the flash things were made with "odin"

KERNEL-VERSION:

BUILD NUMMER:

PROBLEM DESCRIPTION

====================

- The Camera does not work. A message like "Cannot connect to Camera" popped up when clicking the camera button.

It is not possible to get the cam working.

- Some parts of the Nova Launcher show S3 Stuff.

QUESTION:

==========

What can I do to get the Cam working?

OR...

Which ROM should I use to get a stable, working, fast S4?

I like the Idea with the DPI Settings to get more stuff on a Home Screen.

I also like the Idea from Other ROM`s with Multi UI (e.g. Tablet View)

Because I do not know how to do it right.

You can't restore your internal sd from a nandroid. nandroids are stored (hidden) on your internal sd. If you don't delete them you will quickly fill up the internal storage.

Boot into recovery and delete nandroids you don't need anymore. And if you have an external sd save your nandroids there in the future.

I don't think there is a way to do it, except if you use google chrome! Anyway, if you just want to move them once to your new phone (not syncing), then try the following.

If you restored the data backed up in the old phone, then you might get it in this folder! I never tried it, but it is worth trying! Another way would be doing it manually by exporting your bookmarks from your PC and then transfering them to your phone in the folder containing the bookmarks! I don't know how to reach this folder, but it is just a thought ans maybe someone will mange to help you more.
