[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wjxtt2008:
It seems walmart still hasn't received their shipment from at as I chat online. I'm switching to place my order with amazon just now. They're also offering same promotion price though tax is needed, the processing this much fast. It shows "shipping now" on my order, it's amazing, I can't wait.:fingers-crossed:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hamzer11:
Wait I see $198, not $168. Are you getting $168 at Amazon? Can you share the link?

Edit:

I see they updated the price. The issue I'm having with Amazon though is that even if I select to keep my current plan, it's saying it's changing me to the $20 for the 300 MB plan. However, I currently have the old $15 for 200 MB aon 1 line and $25 for 2GB on the other two. I don't want it changed but I'm afraid Amazon will change it - probably to get the commission. Any one with ideas?

Edit #2:

Called the 800 # and was told that their inventory is in route that would fulfill my order. He says that it should be shipped later tonight or tomorrow to me. Claims to have checked some memo that they are getting as updates. I take it with a huge Pretzel size grain of salt but I will wait another day.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] truckmann:
Same here. I work in Tulsa.

I also notice the website to check my order now says

Hopefully it will be shipped out by tomorrow and get here by the end of the week.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wjxtt2008:
I've asked AT&T before that you can call them to maintain your current plan when you activate if bought from amazon(just select what you can select when order). You may call AT&T to double check.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] truckmann:
A few months ago when I was planning to order a GS3 I talked to someone at Amazon about keeping a legacy option they told me they aren't authorized to do that. I would have lost my $5 for 200 text messages a month deal so I opted not to order from them. I rarely need more text messages and it's cheaper to go over on occasion at $0.10/message than pay the fee for shared unlimited between just 2 phones.

I didn't think to call AT&T though so maybe they can override that and allow you to keep your old options.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hamzer11:
It looks like its all going to work out. Got my shipment notice earlier. Should be here tomorrow most likely. Very excited!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eroracing:
Nice!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ronj1986:
Can someone post the link for me to get the phone for $168 from Walmart?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] truckmann:
Try this. http://wireless.walmart.com/search/...oduleB041613-lLinkPOV1SamsungGalaxyS4PreOrder

Wal-Mart is still toying with me. It says they have my phone ready to ship, but still have not yet shipped it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hamzer11:
They probably have a set time they send the shipments out and the system updates the site. You should also get an email from AT&T once they do the upgrade on your line if you are registered with ATT online. I got that before I got the Walmart email.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] truckmann:
I finally got the "Your Walmart Wireless Order has been Shipped" email about an hour ago. I still don't know when it's suppose to arrive yet as it too early for the tracking number to show anything in the FedEx system. On a good note it looks like my SPIGEN Neo Hybrid case should show up before or on the same day as the phone. It's suppose to be here by the 2nd.

Edit: Tracking info is now updated and show the phone is scheduled for delivery on the 2nd as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eroracing:
Got mine today..... Loving it!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] truckmann:
Same here! Much better than my old Captivate. I had to put Apex launcher on it though. The stock launcher was driving me nuts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] theraker007:
So i preordered on walmart the first daay it was available to claim the price.. however they haven't shipped yet because my upgrade date is 5/8/2013. However, yesterday the AT&T store matched walmart for me and i just bought it there..

my whereismyorder.com status still says order recieved and 'carrier approval' are checked off in green. The order verification step 3 won't proceed until the upgrade date..

my curiosity lies in the fact that having already burned my upgrade, i was about to go cancel the walmart order.. BUT, should i just ride it out and see if they bill me the $168 and send me another phone? That would be a helluva profit if they do that! I figure at worst the order will fail to go through and they'll notify me..

should i give it a shot? lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] j510:
Yea do it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] truckmann:
Another problem might be if they send it to you and you don't activate it you will probably get charged some big fees for breaking the contract. Minimum of $200
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eroracing:
Ya just sent mine back...to much lag and to be honest its just to small! Now I'm back on my heavy Modded N7000 galaxy Note! Good luck guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] theraker007:
Who's to say it won't look activated from their end? My line just had a gs4 activated on it mere days ago. And what's more, why couldn't I just activate it again on the same line?

Granted I'm sure the sale will get held up when Walmart processes it, but if it actually ships I gotta think this might actually work. If not I'll return to store.

(even if I pY a $200 penalty, I still profit from eBay prices)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] truckmann:
It might work out fine. I just wanted to make you aware of a possible consequence if they do ship the phone. I got mine through Walmart and had to do an online chat with them to activate it. The paperwork that came with it says the phone has to stay activated for 181 days or they can charge you a $400 fee. The $200 was for non smart phones. I would guys you can just return it before the 14 day grace period of there is a problem though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] theraker007:
yeah i appreciate it :laugh:. As long as i can return to brick and mortar store im okay with taking the chance.. shipping things back are super annoying.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] silkshocker:
What if I cancelled my credit card after getting the phone? How is Walmart going to charge me for the deactivation fee?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] truckmann:
Then they will likely turn it over to a collection agency which will screw your credit rating.

---------- Post added at 10:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:09 PM ----------

That I don't know. Might be worth a call to Walmart to see if you can return to a B&M store.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hamzer11:
I'm curious why you would want to commit fraud and then discuss it openly in a public forum? You got what you wanted already. The phone was price matched which AT&T hardly does. You can now take it to any AT&T store if you have an issue. You got the upgrade done and the upgrade price. Why then would you risk credit issues, charge backs, hassle, etc. By the way, it will not work. Walmart processes the upgrade before they ship the phone. I got the welcome email from AT&T the same day my order shipped. When they try and it shows you are not eligible it will probably reject your order. If somehow it did, what others have said will hold true and they will process the termination fee. It's becaue of actions like this that companies are so untrusting. Walmart actually activated my phones the second day after I received them without me doing anything. I was pissed because it left my wife without a phone for the day because her S 4 was sitting at home. I was just waiting for the weekend to activate. Now I understand them. They just want to close the cycle so they don't get defrauded.

Do what you think is better for you but as far as I see you got what you wanted and hopefully are enjoying your new phone. Why make a good thing bad?

So i removed it and again flash a booy.img using fastboot mode and it got successfully flashed.

But after flashing My neo not boot any more .

Please help me in this.

Thanks in advance
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] vishal_android freak:
Flashed a wrong kernel may be.. Read instructions on threads carefully before you do things and also read before posting bro.. Many have such issues.. Reading may solve your problem.. :)
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sushantp606:

brother\Sir.. i m facing the same problem .. i have done dat with my sony xperia neo l .. and after flashing it ..ma phone is not starting .. just vibrates and thn nothing .. i have gone through ol d comments and reply ...

so if u got ny solution kindly do tell me.. really m a help seeker right now..
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] paras.arora:
Flash the correct version for your device i think your phone is not flashed with correct version of rom like hallon for neo.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] sushantp606:
its MT11i_4.1.A.0.562_kernel...that made it worst.. now phone is nt getting start.. so how can i install another kernel widout phone screen nd flashtool...
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] :
First make sure you have full firmware .ftf not the kernel .ftf.

To fix this do following:

1. Start Flashtool

2. Click on flash icon & select Flashmode.

3. Select the ftf file.

4. IMPORTANT: See the boxes on the right & CHECK all the 'Wipe boxes' (Apps log, User data, Cache, etc.) & UNCHECK all the 'Exclude boxes' (FOTA, System, Kernel, Baseband, etc.)

5. Click OK

6. Follow the instructions on screen.

7. Boot up your phone!

Then root your phone again > install CWM Recovery > follow the guide of ROM you want to install.

You're done! Cheers!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] nickron:
I had the same issue.... i was running on stock ICS with custom kernel LUPUS v8 or something.. so now coming to my problem and how did i fix them..

During experimenting i cleaned the system from recovery and didnt made backup , so i was stuck at black screen (clicking on power on button only vibrates but no screen comes ).. so i wasn't able to go into recovery mode anymore and also i tried to flash to stock Rom and other custom Rom using flashtool but it was giving error again and again.. so I was mad at myself and totally confused..

Next day i.e. Today i read this mesg i quoted and it says first flash the stock kernel and then flash the Rom..

So i downloaded and flash the kernel http://www.mediafire.com/download/i65i9fkpir4al14/MT11i_4.1.B.0.587_kernel.ftf

after that i flashed the stock Rom http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1956856 n it worked.. my phone is now working again

my suggestion to everyone is that charge your phone first and wait for a day because under frustration your mind doesn't work properly..

also sorry for my bad english.. hope you can understand
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] jamjesper08:

Do you have force fast charge turned on? If you do simply turn it off.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Giorgio555:
You have to install usb samsung drivers

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hussam91:
you mean from developer options? I don't get the message in the notification tray "USB connected" where as I used to get it previously. Now it simply charges the device and nothing more :(
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5aaled:
Yes, from developer option enable debugging mode as pic below

And about Odin don't recognize your phone, you have to download Samsung driver>Restart PC > boot your phone into download mode then plug it to PC it will be recognized.. If you have win8 installed and it still don't recognize your phone then install driver from windows update..

In win7 it install it automatically
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hussam91:
I've already got those settings enabled. But My phone doesn't get connected

Usually it gives me notification USB Connected and then I could select it to turn on USB or not. But now it doesn't give me that nitofcation when I connect it even though it still charges my phone. Are there any drivers inside the phone Which may have got corrupted or something?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5aaled:
1-I know that you are using semaphore kernel so, Did you enabled fast charge? If yes disable it as shown in pic

2- try to unplug your phone,uncheck debugging and re-enable it again then connect your phone and see

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sirrahzeph:
Hello Hussam91,

I can think of two things:

First - maybe you didn't see the message in the notification bar? (see attached picture)

(The button in the middle - tap it and allow the USB connection in the next screen).

If this was not the reason - maybe this can help you then:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2144709

I had the problem that I could not connect the phone in myPhoneExplorer via USB. The reason seems to be a new usb security feature.

Make sure you have the latest adb drivers installed, like mentioned in the thread.

I ran "adb devices" from the command line (like mentioned in thread), first the phone was shown offline. Then, a popup was shown on the phone that allowed me to add my computer's fingerprint. After that, everything worked fine. :)

Greetings!

Hey all, im a newbie here and have just got my xda 2 on o2, :D

now iv read in the user manual it says when setting up for the first time it asks for corporate set up or personal ?

which is the best one to go for ?

and what are the main differences between the two ?

also its says that if the phone battery dies all the software that is not standard will be lost ? :x

any way around this ?

oh yea and one more thing....is there a room on irc dedicated to the xda ?

hope you guys can help

cheers
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] sublimatica:
Welcome to the wonderful world of the XDA2! :)

When I first bought mine in November I asked the same question and didn't get a single answer. I still don't really know what the answer is, but I've tried both options after a hard reset and I don't think it makes any difference, although like I say, nobody has told me for sure.

Choose personal setup, I would say. Corporate is probably for IT managers who are doing something special with a fleet of XDA2s for their company.

On the XDA2 the battery (and backup) are required to maintain the contents of the system memory - all of your day-to-day usage, installed programs, files and info is stored in volatile memory, i.e. it needs battery power to maintain the contents. If the batteries both go completely flat your machine will reset completely, and when you charge it, it'll be like a brand new machine again.

This is one major weakness of the XDA2-type machines, and is done this way to maximise battery life while the phone is in use, I think. In practise it means you'll need to charge up your XDA2 at least once every two days or so in average use. It's also a very good reason to keep your files and contents regularly backed up onto a PC.

Dunno about the IRC thing.

Hope this all helps. :)
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Numberz:
cheerz ben, as uv prolly noticed i also got no answer :shock:

but i went ahead n did it as personal user neways i think il learn more if i jus mess about with the fone, same way i did with my amstrad way back when, never broke that so lets hope i dnt break this..

after a long hard search on dalnet/efnet/n every other *net. only found a few sites, a few good ones there for help.

doesnt seem to be much dare i say "w a r e z" floating about for this fone, dnt knw whether this is good or bad, but seem to be able to find alot for other types of fones... one thing i did find was the nokia 6600 has ALOT of software available that can do absoloutly almost anything, frm putting in ur call plan and it working out ur fone bill for u before u get it frm ur service provider, to using it as remote control for ur tv!

lets hope the xda 2 can offer alot more(and easily available) user target programs such as these...

[HTC Rezound] guti7999:
Hi guys,

I have my HTC rezound S-Off and rooted. Yes, I did the wire trick and if I go to the HBOOT it says S-OFF.

I am giving up my rezound and the person that wants it want a stock ROM back.

If I am not mistaken, once you are S-Off, you can just put the stock RUU into the SD card and rename to PH98IMG.zip and reboot into the bootloader, and that should do the trick correct?

Or do I need to lock hboot first and do the whole process again?

Thanks a lot in advance,
[HTC Rezound] ericsignals:
Just like you said run a Ruu and youll be good to go... Just remember to save back up anything you want saved.
[HTC Rezound] guti7999:
Thanks much for confirming this!!! :)
[HTC Rezound] CharFalco:
I have the same question as the OP, but am rooted and S-ON. What's the procedure for getting back to stock, without the "Tampered" warning on my fastboot screen? I guess I need to do the S-Off trick, then flash a RUU?

Thank you in advance to whoever helps me.
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
You can run the RUU without going s-off and the "tampered" will go away but it will say "Relocked". Tampered is there when you have a custom recovery.

You can s-off and then run an RUU, I'm not sure what it will say then, I think it will still say s-off. If you want it to say s-on there is a procedure to s-on again but you have to be careful so you don't brick. I don't know if it will then look like factory stock or not as far as the locked/relocked thing.

What are you trying to accomplish and why? That will help someone to point you in the right direction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fade2green514:
i understand that its compatible with all 20 bands of LTE...

but, CDMA? doubt it right? just making sure before my phone comes out for verizon. i dont want to go buying it without knowing if i can get the better power saving one.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TemporaryTester:
Forget it. That's why the Verizon hardware variant exists.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] fade2green514:
that's what i figured, thank you. i mean, honestly im not super worried about it... it's still a great processor and the screen will probably eat up more battery than the processor itself anyways.

but, spending $600+ i might as well get the better one if its offered. unfortunately, im not willing to switch carriers because t-mobile used to drop coverage 20% of the time for me and verizon has only had one spot i know for sure i will drop coverage in the adirondacks. the rest of the time, not one dropped call or lack of coverage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trvrlol:
I actually looked into getting the Octa core version for Verizon as I am unwilling to give up my unlimited data plan. However, the Octa core version was unfortunately GSM only so no texts/calls, and reviews comparing the phones found that there was not a significant difference gain in battery life as I originally thought.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Fu5ion:
honestly I prefer the snapdragon variant anyway. the development community is gonna be much better.

My Galaxy Nexus with the update 3.16, yesterday after reboot it forgets my google account, today after a freeze i remove the battery, i noticed that it was in a boot loop, so i decided to enter in recovery, and flash again the 3.16 and AK 207 kernel with wipe cache and dalvik. It boot,but few apps, about 10 i think, vanished and all apps data lost, my data like photo video etc. still stay in memory. When i try to install from playstore for example "switfkey keyboard", i can't it give me an error 923 or like in case of "Where's my water?" the phone freeze.

Now i flashed the 28 march update, is there anyone like in my condition??Solution? I want recover my apps data

i used PA from 11 febbruary and flashed any update wiping only cache and dalvik

THANKS to EVERYONE help me :)

Seems like data loss. Start fresh, flash factory images and start over - should be quite easier now. Could have been the kernel, or the ROM.

I think that my app all are still in memory, bacause i don't notice more free space in memory, and bacause if i try to install one of the svanished app it give me error "-24" now. What i care is to recover my app data, after that i can wipe all and make a clear flash.
