[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
I've been on the phone all morning calling all the AT&Ts around trying to find out who's got the S4, and no one seems to have it or know when they're getting it, some say they expect to get them some time tmrw, others said they will today, and a few have told me they usually get shipments in the morning, and it being 1pm now they don't expect anything else today

I've been getting bad news and dead ends everywhere..

have any of you had any luck with your local AT&Ts? just heard this morning Verizon, Sprint, and T-Mobile got pushed back due to supply issues.. which makes me worry about my ability to pick one up tmrw morning.. shouldn't AT&T have stock by now and be setting up displays?

kinda worried.. any of you guys having better luck than i am?

EDIT: whow! i been using the bookmarked page on my XDA app so much i didn't realize ATT's S4 got its own section .. guess ill be seeing you guys~ take care!

I picked up mine yesterday, but I think I was more the exception than the rule. I preordered mine last weekend and the store received it yesterday, but they said mine was the only one that arrived. =( I hope you get yours soon!

I got mine from pre-order on Tuesday via FedEx. This thing is awesome.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbazz1378:
The story keeps changing

Initially weeks ago I was told to come back to my store when preorders shipped and I could pick one up. Then I was told Tuesday in the store that they would be released today so I made an appointment to upgrade at opening today. When I called to confirm my appoinment and the arrival of the S4's last night they told me they are not releasing until Saturday. Tired of getting the run around, I called 3 other AT&T stores and confirmed that Saturday is the day. They actually posted it on twittter earlier in the week but I guess I was hoping that to be wrong so I could get it sooner than Saturday. But it is what it is people, deal with it or go somewhere else to get it....

FYI, avoid lines and waiting tomorrow morning for the release and make an appointment for an upgrade if you are an AT&T customer. Schedule for when the store opens and you will be the first walking out the door with that little gem in your hands. That tip is for free....:D

The best phone I've ever used. Not one complaint yet. .. well besides the lack of root but in due time :)

I love the display settings. If you hate the usual over saturated Amoleds then you can easily change the color calibration easily.

1080p screen is amazing. The camera is really detailed and a lot of fun with all the features included. I'll post a full res picture in the next post.

There's a shot for ya. It may not be the best I've taken because I did the uploading and all through my phone.

I will say that I'm coming from a Galaxy Note and I couldn't be happier. Smaller phone but still with a large screen. :)

Good to know. I'm on the Note 1 and called AT&T and somehow convinced them to start my contract over from today and let me upgrade to the s4. Had to order online though.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ITNV:
Walked into my AT&T store (Reno) today and they had both colors in stock.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
The Att corporate store where I live in Kentucky has them in stock to sell. I went in to try out the demo unit. The nice sales last asked me if I wanted one since they had them in stock. Two things stopped me: I am a Verizon customer and waiting (perhaps with futility) for a 32gb version. That 9gb of free storage would be filled over by some of my Gameloft games alone.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
Anyone else having trouble with their LTE reception? I just came from an iPhone 5 and fortunately around me the area is kind of blanketed in LTE but I have yet to get any solid connection on the One where as with my iPhone 5 it would lock on and get great speeds. I saw the LTE on the one pop in a couple times but just for a couple secs and even once long enough to start a Speed Test but then it "lost connection" in the middle of the test. I assume a PRL update is needed or at least I'm hoping its just a PRL update.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BrianBaker:
You practically have to be making love to the tower to get 4G to connect. And yes you are not alone.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
Hmm wonder if this is something that can be fixed via software, this is kind of bumming me out - this will be the one and only gripe I'll have.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BrianBaker:
I was a bit harsh...The phone is quite capable of grabbing an LTE signal..But in fringe areas is will not hold it.It will switch back to 3G..On the sensorly App it seems anything that is 0-2 bars will grab a signal but will drop it eventually..

But man when you are in 3-4 bars in dark purple this phone flys on LTE.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Paleryder:
I'm pulling crazy far lte speeds
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] D3luSi0n4L:
Yeah I was too on my iPhone 5 - like 30mbps download and 10 upload. I'll update this post when I get another chance to test it again I went ahead and did a profile and prl update.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] SeanBond:
Sounds like location. I am in Houston and 80% of the time its on 4G, I usually get around 15 to 25 down on 4G. Indoors It stays on 4G but speed drops to around 2
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Felnarion:
This is a software decision.

For most networks, the decision to switch back to 3g would be wise. For most, LTE is blazing fast and 3g is usable. Switching back to 3g on the fringe of an LTE tower is a fine decision on say, Verizon. It also makes sense from a battery standpoint. There is no sense making the higher power LTE radio strain for a signal when there is a perfectly usable 3g one available to a lower power radio.

The problem is with Sprint, with Sprint, you want to hold onto every last drop of LTE because even the faintest, messiest, LTE signal is going to be faster than the 3g.

There will be a software update, I am fairly confident, that will change the values where the the phone gives up on LTE.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BrianBaker:
I was going to return the phone today but I'll roll the dice in hopes there is an update for this because in those "fringe" areas my Note II holds 4G and its only 2Mbps down and 1Mbps up but it's better than the 3G 28.8k it switches to..

I just hope when the area is covered by more LTE it'll even out..Happy to hear that about Houston which has more coverage that the One holds it's 4G better..This is what im banking on.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] boomerod:
I'm smack in the middle of what is supposed to be a fairly saturated LTE area for Sprint (North Dallas, TX) and mine keeps switching between 3G and 4G with total data drops seemingly random and many times throughout the day. What's weird is often times, I'll go to use the phone and the 4G is there and 3 or more bars, and then as soon as I open an app that uses data the connection will drop. It doesn't happen every time, but way more than I can live with. I'm thinking about returning it to Sprint and going with AT&T instead. I just hate to have to hassle with it and pay more for less.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BrianBaker:
well,then i guess all I can hope for is some sort of update that helps keep 4G connected
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Darkendvoid88:
Probably has to do with a minimum signal strength value to keep it connected to LTE and not search for a stronger signal. Hopefully there will be an update or a patch to fix this.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] BrianBaker:
I just feel like not enough people are complaining about this issue and it'll just keep working the way it is now. Which would suck.

Through out my searched for the night I ended up at a tmobile website where they too were having the same 4G issues.. Maybe it is a design problem and not just software.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] jcwxguy:
"Bars" mean nothing, usually they only show strength of the cdma 1x (voice), not lte strength..

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Nativeazn612:
Happening frequently

I have the same problem keeps switching from LTE to 3g constantly I think it is happening to multiple on sprint network idk about others http://www.gottabemobile.com/2013/04/26/sprint-htc-one-lte-connectivity-issue-in-select-markets/
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] wranglerray:
no problems here in fort myers. When i'm home it locks on 4g and screams at 25 down and 10 up
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] boomerod:
That's helpful...with issues like this, especially at or near launch of a new device, it's always a question of device vs. network vs. software issues. I'm always skeptical that the device is the issue, especially on flagship models. I posted on a Sprint forum and one user said he took his phone back and Sprint swapped it for another HTC One and he's had no issues. Says he thinks it's some type of provisioning issue, which I am not too sure of. But he said he a similar issue with the Evo LTD (I think) and swapped and no more issues. There also was a Sprint rep that chimed in on the thread and advised me that an Vision upgrade had been made in my area yesterday and to update profile and prl and then power down for 3-5 minutes. I followed that advice but I'm still having issues. For reference, I'm in 75240 zip code.

Yeah, I think most of us that have been around a while realize that. I could care less about the bars. Hell, I hardly even talk on the phone. What I need is Data to work, consistently. I don't even care if it's 4G if a decent 3G is available and would provide a consistent connection. Well, yeah, I would prefer it be 4G. The selling point for Sprint right now is their prices and unlimited Data. When you factor in that they are really trying to upgrade their network to compete with the other big 2, and are oriented towards customer concerns at the moment, it makes them appealing. But they got to get the data consistent, especially in large markets like Dallas, TX, or they are just going to keep on churning customers. I just switched to them from Verizon as I was at the end of my contract and was a bit tired of Big Red's bullying, but I have to hand it to them, their network is fantastic. I might be going right back to them, or take a chance on AT&T, which I switched from to Verizon a couple years ago.
[HTC One X] axelsundays:
If do this, y might lose these privileges?

Is there any ROM that keeps them active?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X] Guich:
After a flash of rom you will not lose s-off and S-CID.

However, with s-off you don't need the pc for the kernel :)

I want an hox with s-off :(
[HTC One X] nogotaclue:
I want one too :crying:
[HTC One X] axelsundays:
So i might just flash any ROM via recovery?
[HTC One X] vin4yak:
Yes!! Make sure your bootloader is unlocked and have a custom recovery like CWM/TWRP.

Don't be too greedy guys :P I love my HOX!! S-ON or S-OFF don't matter :D Developers might find it handy though! :)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
If the rom does not boot, flash the boot.img with fastboot commands like we all need to do. A lot of devs took out the boot.img flashscript because its useless to ...lets say 95% of us
[HTC One X] herbie13:
Fyi

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39962195

As Mr hof says the phone can flash the boot.img but from recovery but not all aroma scripts try. For example ordroid does and viper doesn't that I have found so far.

[HTC One X] Snah001:
You can put the script into the ROM yourself, but you must know very well what you are doing!

Same applies for flashing kernels because most kernels exists only of module package and boot.img package so you must make your own in recovery flashable zip. :confused:

[HTC One X] herbie13:
I would be interested to know how to do this but I suppose if I am editing the scripts in the Rom zip then I may aswell flash it from pc :)

If you have any recommended reading id like to look.

Cheers

Sent from my HTC One X
[HTC One X] Snah001:
Well it is quite easy (use notepad++).

I download the rom always to pc or laptop and then copy it to the phone.

But devs take out the script for flashing the boot.img out of the updater script.

And kernel devs take it also out of their zip or only give you the modules and boot.img seperately.

So I put the scripts in by myself and then copy them to the phone.

Then I can flash the phone without a pc and the same applies to the kernel.

But more often you will flash a kernel so I asked in the XM thread if he can put in the script again.
[HTC One X] herbie13:
Ok so I found the updater script and I assume I need a few lines similar to this but for the boot ? What does it look like though ?

ui_print("@>>> Writing System");

mount("ext4", "EMMC", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p12", "/system");

package_extract_dir("system", "/system");

Cheers ( sorry to op for hijacking post)

I was about to flash a custom rom to my S-OFF CID HOX, but in recovery mode it says ***LOCKED***. Does this mean i can't flash anything?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC One X] herbie13:
You need to unlock the phone with htcdev as you would an s on device then flash a custom recovery and then the rom. Probably also flash the boot.img from pc too.

Hello everyone,

I would just like to know who bought one of these, do you like it, and could you post a pic of your phone inside it. Deciding if I want one or not and would love some feed back.

Thank you in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bfitz26:
Haven't bought one yet but went to the mall to try it out its bulky but a nice bukllk IMO the clips doubles as a kickstand I love it just have to convince my wife to let me buy it lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Craleb:
I paid $60 for mine from Best Buy it's really nice and really protect the phone the only problem I have is that there's a hole in the screen protector with the home button is and when I'm at work the flour (pizza shop) and food gets inside the screen protector through the home button hole.

I love it but I'm sad about that... I will probably put a little piece of my old screen protector over the hole... (jerry rig) lol

Also people complain that the screen protector isn't flush with the screen. I notice this but it doesn't bother me nor does it make the phone harder to use. For me.....

Pizza power! Lol the job is slowly killing me.. Coming up on year 5 at my pizzeria.

But yeah I will definitely let you know how it works out. I thought about just using clear tape but I didn't want any sticky residue on my $60 case.

I guess I'm kind of bummed out that I have to "mod" this case but the "mod" isreally cheap if not almost free and I'm not sure if there any better cases out there although I have not done much research

I'm just worried that it will turn it into a serious brick. It seemed like it weighed a couple pounds haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Craleb:
Honestly you're right it almost feels like double the weight (ok not double but it's noticable) . When I'm off work for a long period of time I usually take my phone out of the Otterbox case and wow a lot lighter...

But for me the case (protection) is still worth it...

Pizza thread ftw!!! I actually don't mind the bulk makes me think I can throw this phone around worry free and I'm never home lol always maken dem piZazaz. I have a two year old son as well so its a win win for me
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjk2010:
I have had it on since Day 1 and it is by far one of the best cases for protection out there.

BUT:

1) BULKY and stick rubber exterior makes it gather dust/dirt and hard to slide in pockets

2) DUST gets under the integrated screen protector constantly.

3) HEAVY ..... phone feels like a feather when you take it out .
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
This phone is already hard to use one handed, does this make it even more difficult to use one hand?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] cjk2010:
It does and doesn't at the same time.

The added grip because of the rubber outer shell helps it feel secure and not slip out.

The increase in thickness and shape makes it feel more natural in my hand as opposed to like a thin slippery blade. I dont have ogre sized hands , so it helps it feel better.

It does bug me a little the way the raised rim sticks up however when im swiping or doing a screenshot.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Craleb:
using a small piece of a regular screen protector over the home button cut out keeps the flour and pizza shrapnel out from under my screen protector. But, it's aesthetically noticable and makes the home button a little "harder" to press. But I'm gonna keep it on so I won't have to clean out my case every day.

Best buy price matched amazon. I got it for 34.90 haha awesome!

Probably gonna rip out this built in screen protector though. I already have a great zagg one on here
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] BluGuy:
I have one, but like everyone else I get dust under the built in protector. I removed it once and put on an invisisheild by zagg. It seemed to work nice untill I realized the spen was leaving marks in it. I backed a new protector on kickstarter by Sir Lancelot's Armor called the holy grail. Hopefully it will fit in this case.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] 1ManWolfePack:
I've got the Commuter since yesterday and it's nice. I don't know how you guys can handle the defender. Too much. The Commuter has all the protection it needs.

To prove that, I had a rinky-dink plastic case on that didn't cover the top and bottom. Straight launched my phone from about 5 feet with it at a gas station. It made some nasty noises and bounced all around.

Not a scratch :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bfitz26:
I known that ballistic has a similar case but with no holes waiting for it to show up in stores to see if I want that one instead
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] jrbxx7:
+1 on the commuter couldn't stand the defender! Fantastic protection with minimal bulk. Even compared to a ballistic case its sleeker and lighter....

TaPpEd from my TwEaKeD N2
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hopesrequiem:
I gotta say, loving the defender. It's big but gives the phone a more solid feel for me. I'm not scared that I'll drop it taking it out of my pocket now because it has grip. And even if it does fall it will probably be fine haha
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] shrike1978:
Got the Defender a week ago and I don't find it to feel particularly big or heavy. I had a Rezound with an extended battery before and it's no thicker or heavier than it was. I don't find the dust under the screen protector bothersome because it's totally unnoticeable in most circumstances, and I don't notice the screen protector not sitting flush unless I'm looking for it.

Love the feel of it, much more than the older Defenders. It has the rubberized feel with less of the gripping everything and dust collecting of the old ones. It still does to an extent, but not as much, and it feels more solid and not as soft as the older ones.
