First Thing: This post is for Radio lovers who are feeling disappointed about Samsung's decision to remove fm radio from Galaxy Devices

After so much rummers and hypes Samsung himself finally clarified that No any version of galaxy s4 will have built in Fm Radio...its very shocking news for people who love radio and who chose Samsung galaxy Devices because it was there key feature...now after Samsung's clarification many people started to curse Samsung and showed there dissatisfaction...

www.sammobile.com/2013/04/17/samsung-explains-why-missing-fm-radio-on-the-galaxy-s4/

As you can see that many people are Disappointed :o

But I think there is one other chance to have Fm Radio in S4 is with Spirit Radio

Spirit Fm radio is very famous among the people who love fm radio but their device don't have fm chip...Spirit Fm runs in only Rooted devices with help of Bluetooth and doesnt need Data Network ...

My doubt will this Spirit will support Samsung galaxy s4 ..no matter it needs device to be rooted.

Request : Any Dev or other user who experimented spirit radio on s4 please post your views here..whether it supports or not

If no then what is another option to have Spirit like radio which don't need Internet or Data Connection

(If you are radio lover then please support :thumbup: here and post your views: help people to get alternative option )
[Galaxy S 4 General] -]Megacharge[-:
People who are disappointed should start a petition to Samsung about it so they realize how important it is to their consumers, and they don't make this mistake again.
[Galaxy S 4 General] nomancoolboy:
I think the s4 does not have the fm radio chip ... So spirit fm might not work
[Galaxy S 4 General] ipsuvedi:
You are right..but what about Spirit Fm ...when/because Sammy already started shipping :mad:
[Galaxy S 4 General] ipsuvedi:
If its true then another shocking news :o

May be I will buy Optimus g pro rather than s4 :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] Sarcron:
I'm only disappointed with the lack of FM radio in the sense that I like a phone to have as many features as it can. That said, I rarely ever used the radio because I'm not that big into sports and I have plenty of ways to get the music I like without having to listen to advertisements and the 95% of other music I didn't want to listen to anyway. It's handy to have FM in emergencies, but then again I think everyone should have a back up portable radio anyway just in case their phones fail. Security by redundancy and all that.
[Galaxy S 4 General] bala_gamer:
just for fm? lol

reality is that we want all the features regardless of whether we use it or not :D . To be honest the total time i used fm on my s2/s3 wont go beyond an hour or two in the past one year but yet i feel a bit disappointed with s4 not having fm chip :p
[Galaxy S 4 General] Brendo:
I used to care about radio...about 10 years ago. TBH I don't even really listen to radio in the car or at home either. Sure, that's just me, but even the cheapskates I know generally listen to music on devices (ie mp3). Just look at the popularity of mp3 players. These days most (if not all?) countries are moving to digital radio. I'd love to have digital radio in a phone purely for the ability to use it if the need ever arose
[Galaxy S 4 General] imthatguy83:
I swear that when i was ordering my S4 from AT&T yesterday it said FM radio was available with a headset. What am I missing here, I've been assuming that the S4 has a FM radio receiver just no built in antenna to pick it up.

Someone give me the scoop
[Galaxy S 4 General] ipsuvedi:
I myself never used WiFi for 2months because I don't have wifi router and I use 3g...then should Samsung drop WiFi from phones because I don't use..

People don't thing only yourself...and don't think every feature to be used always..some are best used when they needed ..such as Fm Radio
[Galaxy S 4 General] Brendo:
I agree, however the trend would say that fm radio itself is being faded out? (same as analogue tv). IR blasters got phased out as they were superseded by Bluetooth and other transfer methods, now its making a comeback
[Galaxy S 4 General] Sarcron:
That's not even close to being the same thing. Wi-fi is pretty essential, but FM radio has been largely replaced with better internet access. And FM radio is extremely easy to get anywhere, because it's standard in pretty much every car, or you can stop by wal-mart or any electronic store and pay $10 for an FM/AM radio handset. Honestly if you're in an "unstable area" where you rely on FM radio a lot, you shouldn't be using your phone exclusively for that anyway. Radio handsets come with elongated antennas to better receive signal, and now there are radios with solar power so you can go without batteries/wall outlets.

No one is saying that they're happy Samsung kept it out, or that it's not a loss. But buying a phone purely based on FM radio is pretty asinine, since you should be using a dedicated radio if it's that essential to your survival.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Mittaa:
I never had used FM radio from any of my phones, but in Denmark FM is used in cases of disaster where Internet might be down.

Citation from DEMA website

Warning acute disaster

In the event of a disaster situation, the police task and responsibility to alert the population and the installed sirens will be handled by the police. At DEMA website you can hear what the different siren signals mean (link).

The population will also be alerted and kept informed through the Danish Broadcasting Corporation.

Since currents can fail, it is recommended to keep abreast with the help of transistor radios.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Brendo:
In that case you'd have a dedicated radio as a phone battery would be dead in no time
[Galaxy S 4 General] ipsuvedi:
I too agree with you both and i also always dont use radio ...but everybody wants their devices to have more and more features especially flagship devices like s4.....in other hand many people prefer samsung over apple & other because they have some old but essential features like 3g video call, fm radio etc
[Galaxy S 4 General] Sarcron:
I would definitely be willing to have a thicker/larger phone and pay a little bit more if it could have a radio chip, no doubt about it. I don't know if the majority of people would feel the same way.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Jay A whY:
AT&T version ships with a FM Radio...

[Galaxy S 4 General] Mittaa:
Screen off my SGS2 will last for 2 days listening to FM, and with data off even longer!

Using Internet radio sure will drain fast.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ipsuvedi:
But many people say that is AT&T's typing mistake:mad:
[Galaxy S 4 General] imthatguy83:
That's what I thought it said but with headphones only. Does that mean it has a receiver but no internal antenna dedicated for the fm thus the need for headphones. Would it be possible to hack this somehow to where a modded 3.5mm jack with a pull out antenna could be used instead of headphones and then create and app or hack something in the software to play via speakers??
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] hansmrtn:
I WAS NOT INFORMED.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I present: The first custom rom (not created by me...yet) on At&ts network.

I just received my Htc One yesterday- here is a something cool.

I will be updating this thread for a little. I claim no responsibility in creating this rom, I simply ported it. In fact, thank the guy over in the Htc One version.

Working well so far. Ill be updating this thread. :laugh:

So far the issues are (but will be fixed quickly):

-WiFi

-4G Icon

-Maybe more to come
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] expertzero1:

[General Topics] zelendel:
This could be a very large double edge sword. On one hand it would force the carriers to do something about it. On the other they may leave all updates to the OEMs and with the system requirements of the android system the OEM could simply say the device can't support it. Gonna watch this closely.

Could also lead to carriers stock less android devices. So they don't have to deal with it at all.

my phone wasnt restoring my backups in twrp recovery and now i have no os and i can only get to bootloader, i relocked my bootloader so i could run ruu but my phone is on the latest version so nothings working, i need help as soon as possible please
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Delakit:
Put TWRP back on. Go into recovery. Keep connected to PC. Transfer a sense ROM and flash it. Assuming you're S-ON: flash MeanBean. Or flash a different sense ROM that has an S-ON installer. Or fastboot flash boot boot.img when you install.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kjrehrer:
how do i unlock the bootloader again because i relocked it
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Delakit:
If you've unlocked the bootloader before then you know how to unlock the bootloader.

yeah i got it but im putting the mean bean rom on my phone then do i wipe and just flash it?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kjrehrer:
when i try to flash it i get "error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/meanrom...... error flashing zip" what do i do? every rom i try flashing gives me this error
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Delakit:
Unlock the bootloader again, first of all.

Delete your current recovery.img.

Re-download your recovery.

fastboot erase cache

install your recovery again

fastboot erase cache

boot into recovery

when connected you should be able to transfer files from PC to phone.

Otherwise you might need to use USB-OTG I think.

wipe data, cache, delvik/cache, system

Install the ROM.

reboot to bootloader

pull boot.img out of your ROM download

fastboot flash boot boot.img

reboot to system.

Problems so far:

1) my camera stopped working, it kept saying "pictures/video not available".

2) After rebooting my phone it said the external SD Card was corrupt. After taking that out, the camera still did not work, so I tried rebooting again, but still no camera.

3) Decided to try another rom, but after installing the home button stopped working.

4) Tried reloading a different rom and the recover (CWM) could not see the files on my internal card (nor external).

5) Installed a different recovery (TWRP) via GooManger, was finally able to see files.

6) Tried different rom, home button stopped working again until I fixed permissions

7) After all of that I attempted to do a full factory rest back to stock, but Odin could not see my phone.

8) Now my computer can't see my phone either.

The phone turns on and loads the Rom, I have service and so far apps work. But the camera still won't work. I am able to reboot into custom recovery (CWM). But phone is still not being recognized by Odin nor Odin Pro app. And it is still not coming up in my computer. And I have reinstalled all drivers for the phone on my computer.

Please help. I am not sure what else I can do.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jeeperak:
i would load a stock rom and start over. did you do a back up before flashing? did you wipe data/cache before flashing?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mellis8:
I did a data wipe and backup. But since Odin can't see my phone and it can't be brought up on the computer I can't go back to stock.

Also it charges just fine on the same computer so the chord and USB is OK.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] mellis8:
Is there a way to go back to full stock without ODIN or computer? Is there way to flash back?

There is many root method here and some have the reboot issue,so try to root your phone with flashtool.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sacredsoul:
Just reroot with bin4ry's latest root tool. It fixes the issue. Some roms still use the old root files where there's an issue when you mount rw, forcing your phone to reboot.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibecatalin:
I've tried rerooting with bin4ry's latest v30 root, but I have tried several times, but in Superuser app I get the same thing : su binary not found and then I've unistalled the Superuser application, and flashed from CWM the SuperSU.zip from Chainfire, now SuperSU is working, BUT I have the same problem : the phone reboots when mounting.

What should I do?

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vibecatalin:
Yesterday was working fine, but now isnt working anymore the only difference is that I've installed through CWM the PureX soundMOD. Guess I have to reroot again? :)) Any other solutions?

Solution :

adb shell

su

stop ric

then mount system with root explorer and delete /system/bin/ric

After that OTA doesn't work anymore.

Same problem here. Root Explorer to change R/W of /system, or copy a fire there make a reboot. Just re-root with Easy rooting Toolkit for XPEIRA Z SO-02E (ver 1.0.2) and works fine by far now, but not sure if it will happen again. (Rooted with bootloader BLOCKED)

So no root with those methods, it worked by flashing through CWM the SuperSu.zip, but still I get forced reboots. I don't know what to do. Guess the only option is to do a full wipe, but I don't want to do that.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yongjin.liu@gmail.com:

Hey Buddy!

Just send it off to get JTAG before you take it out of the box :) I just did one that way. I picked it up and powered it on though before I stuck it back in the box and shipped it out.

Honestly I'd probably buy one outright and save the upgrade for a new phone.

Hey, good to see a name I know. I'm actually using my wife's upgrade to get the DNA and keeping my unlimited data. She is going to take my rezound. Once I can get the upgrade on my line I will use wire fly to transfer my upgrade to her and get a newer phone. Im trying to my unlimited at all cost. I never heard of JTAG. I'll check it out.

Also what's up with the no root?
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
The devs exploited the bootloader to get us unlocked and achieved a 1 minute s off process. Then one of the updates closed up the hole we were using basically. Everyone who ever unlocked before the update is fine. it's only phones that didn't have the CID changed (HTC-Dev hboot unlock is achieved by changing the CID from Verizon's to a custom 2222222 CID then using htc-dev.com like normal) that can't be unlocked.

JTAG accesses the service ports on the main board with a special hardware called a riif box. It accesses the device at the lowest level so locked bootloader is no obstacle. It's like what the manufacturer uses to flash the DNA firmware onto the board. So its kinda like if HTC plugged up the phone and unlocked it and turn the security flag off.

You send them the phone, they open it up, wire it to the hardware box and use the accompanying software to do whatever you need, it will even flash at a low enough level to repair a true software brick as long as its not a hardware explosion or something that bricked it.

[HTC Droid DNA] drumz0rz:
Whatever you do, don't let it update when you get it! I recommend not installing the SIM (so it can't phone home) and unlocking it first. If you're not too comfortable with using adb, I think my writeup (in my sig) explains it well enough for you to follow.
