[MDA, XDA, 1010 Accessories] mikeyg:
Greetings,

I recently dropped my xda and it would no longer power on, it seemed completely dead. Assuming it was a "connection" problem with the power to battery pins, I opened it up to see if I could see any obvious problem. During my poking and messing about (with tools which were not really suitable) I inadvertently damaged the small ribbon cables on the right hand side .

I took the unit to a laptop repair specialist but he was unable to fix it, he said he could not find replacement cables/plugs that would fit. Do you know of where I could obtain such cables, or can you recommend someone who would be capable of carrying out repairs?

I would really appreciate your advice, I'm lost without use of the xda. Yes, I did regular backups to the storage card, the last one being only a day or two before the accident.

I look forward to hearing from someone, hopefully with some positive news!

Many thanks,

Mikeyg :oops:

Hello all. I'm a newbie here.

I just bought an Asus MemoPad 7 with wifi and no 3G. I want to install Whats App, I googled for some tutorials, found many tutorial on google nexus but no Asus. They all us App Guard, but mine cannot put number confirmation code, it says something like client modified, please update, but I am using an updated version, just downloaded it from official website.

What should I do?
[General Questions and Answers] MartyHulskemper:
I use the most ubiquitous method: install on an Android phone, registr that handset, make a backup with Titanium Baclup, uninstall Whatsapp from your phone, transfer backup to tablet, restore backup. Works like a charm.

As far as any errors go: you might want to check out the Whatsapp Plus version made/modded by rafalense. Use xda's serach function and you'll find it.

And don't we have a Memopad forum yet? You might have gotten answers that were device-specific there, as we have a different device.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mhs888:
After Flashing Latest CM10.1 to my S3 and using it for a while, I wanted to go back to stock. I flashed stock 4.1.2, rooted it and installed CWM successfully. After a while I noticed that CWM can not mount internal SD card, or recover a nandroid backup from it. I thought it is a partition issue, so i have decided to flash GT-I9300_mx_20120220.pit to my S3 with re-paration checked. ODIN started the process, Pass appeared with green background. Since then, the device wont start in any mode. I tried every key combination with no luck. Tried to connect the device to pc, same result; device is dead. Pulling battery also did not work.Anything I can do to turn on the device in to download mode at least? Please help me. I am from Lebanon; here all the phones are sold with no warranty, so returning it to Samsung wont solve the problem? any solution? Thank you.

Here is what I know so far.

GALAXY S4 is rumored to be released in May for Sinkies.

It will definitely be officially priced at $998, its standard for high-end phones here.

All telcos will definitely get. StinkTel, Laghub & MaiOne.

And it's definitely the I9505 without question

Re: [OFFICIAL] [DISCUSSION] Singapore Galaxy S4

Anyway yeah I'm intending to get the s4 to upgrade from my s2.

Apparently Singapore will only be getting the snapdragon 600 version. I was kinda disappointed as I really wanted to try the Exynos octa. Do you guys think S600 is good enough to compare with the Exynos? I'm planning to get S4 around June. I really can't decide whether I should wait for something like Nexus 5 in July or just get s4. Advice?

you do know that exynos will have little support here do you? Actually in real world usage, the snapdragon version is on par with the exynos version.

Sent from my supercharged :tank:
[Galaxy S 4 General] 1337RYoN:
I want to see battery life reports on Exynos octa before I decide. If the battery on I9500 beats I9505 by at least 25%, I'll be getting I9500.

And yes, I do know that I9500 will have less dev support but it'll still have plenty of ROMs and mods. At least, I hope so.

[Galaxy S 4 General] mix1987:
25% diff in battery life is too big on a same model of phone. Maybe 5-10% difference favoring the Exynos I think.
[Galaxy S 4 General] alinawyx:
I really presumed that we are going to get I9505 since most Asian countries are getting I9500, sadly that's not the case. Here is a very interesting read by AndreiLux: Exynos Octa and why you need to stop the drama about the 8 cores. I'm seriously reconsidering not to buy S4 right now, probably at least till reliable benchmarks and battery test are being populated to determine how much they differ. But well, there is however the LTE factor that may change my mind. Below is a post quoted from GT-I9500 vs GT-I9505...Differences are huge! by SlimJ87D.

Evidently, speed test for 3G HSPA+ vs 4G LTE.

As for glass screen pro, mobyshop in far east got sell... theres a few well known shops sells too...
[Galaxy S 4 General] 1337RYoN:
I'm gonna choose between Spigen Neo Hybrid or UAG Navigator.

Neo hybrid is $48 at Samsung store at paragon if I remember correctly.

Navigator is USD35, about SGD 43. Not much difference there.

I love the minimalistic design of the neo hybrid but I also like the cool design of the UAG. The UAG also comes with a free screen protector.

I really can't decide between these two and I'd appreciate your advice.

U mean spigen nv comes with free screen pro? Thought normally most well known brand case will bundled with a free screen pro? Correct me if i m wrong. Personally for S4, i find spigen neo hybrid or slim armor is nice but UAG on the other hand is not as nice. UAG for Note 2 is nice...

Juz my 2 cents

why waste 40 over bucks when you can just get the 'same' for about 10 bucks ?

I just got my Spigen NED Hybrid with 13 MEGR for 10 bucks delivered from China. I tell you , it looks every bit like the real thing and the quality , finishing , fitting is superb.

I wouldn't know if this is a knock off if not for the spelling typo for NED ( NEO ) and MEGA ( MEGR ).

My S4 is behaving weird today.

There's NO notification sound for my SMS, Whatsapp, Email and even phone ring tone. I tried calling out but couldn't hear the other party. I plug in the ear phone and also hear nothing......

Reboot the phone and everything goes back to normal.... for 2-3 minutes only. Then it's all NO sound again.

I suspect that it could be a software problem rather than hardware (since there's sound after I reboot but only for 2-3 minutes).

Anyone experience problem like this before and how you solve it ?
