GT-i9502

Here is one tuto showing one way to do it.

http://support.mobicity.com/entries...Play-Store-on-the-Dual-SIM-Galaxy-S4-GT-i9502

Keep it mind that my MoB is SCH-i959 which is the latest model.

I haven't used ODIN at all.

VOLUME UP + HOME BUTTON + POWER BUTTON

Wipe cache partition

Wipe dalvik cache

Permissions

Install zip from sdcard

Reboot!

[[It's 99% functional, I have got one bug so far which is the Calendar Storage and which I have disabled]]

Ho and yes Play Apps Store is now 100% functional which was my one and only goal.

Hi, I've bougth this mobile GT-i9502 on antelife http://www.antelife.com/gt-i9502-mt...-1g-4g-dual-sim-card-dual-camera-black-1.html

I've Play Store, the phone is great but I have a problem. When I slide your finger right or left on the screen, I have a slight delay. I think it's an application that brings the phone but I can not confirm. However with the sensor moves superfluid. Can you say as I can I solve this problem?

On the other hand, I wonder if there is a ROM for this terminal or as I search the internet and I'm looking and can not find.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Le_Matriciel:
With GT-I9502 official from Samsung, what are language supported with theses ROMs ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] AdamLange:
If you want FR to be supported , you can chose any of major european (non branded) ROM, like XEF (France) , XEO (Poland), BTU (United Kingdom), DBT (Germany)

Adam
[Galaxy S 4 General] Le_Matriciel:
Thank you Adam for your response but, i can't think to put a standard ROM (XEF) on this devioce witch is dual sim and has not same hardware that standard Exynos S4 (I9500)...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Le_Matriciel:
I have received my device two days ago...

I have flashed it vith SVA Rom 3.5 and use it in France with french features.

I have no bugg with caller ID, the only think (at this time) is the call tone witch is no french (USA tone or China tone :D).

The ergonomy of call with dual SIM card is better with full chinese dual sim phones (is my opignon...) but the

active dual sim

is great !!

I will flash it soon with EVA 4.1 (based on 4.3 Samsung official ROM) and will feedbak until few days ...

I just received my S4 I9500 Exynos dual sim phone and really don't like the Samsung bloatware. Is there a good step by step root guide somewhere?

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 General] pglegend:
Hi guys....I purchased this phone great deal! ! But the Rom is suppose to be 8GBP and I get storage error with less than 1gb.

Is there a way to root phone and use app2sd method?

Is there any custom Roms to choose from?

Please help...! ! ! ? ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Spy26:
Any one know of custom ROM without the chinese bloatware for i9502 and multilanguage support along with complete google apps fuctionality?

thanks in advance
[Galaxy S 4 General] Le_Matriciel:
Yes, the SVA ROM, but it is a paid ROM ...
[Galaxy S 4 General] Spy26:
In that case........................any other (and free) one? :D

Needing to flash an original firmware to get rid of the demo software.

Not a good idea to flash the i9500 in the i9505 is it?

Definite brick? :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demlasjr:
Of course. I9500 have Exynos, I9505 have S600. There are different architecture, if you do it you will brick your phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starbury:
Lol made a lot of sense, i was confused before as to what the diff was. thanks :D
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demlasjr:
Also, don't forget that the drivers are different, I9505 have 4G modem, different GPU and the CPU 4 cores (4xA9), while I9500 have 8-cores (double-quad to say it better: 4xA7 and 4xA15)

You're welcome.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] williamw:
Bit puzzled over this one!

For no apparent reason I keep finding my XDA-II has has automatically connected via WAP (GPRS) when not docked in it's cradle. This seems to be caused by Activesync (I get an error message that Activesync can't connect).

This even happens if I make sure all apps are stopped (except O2 Active) - ie: Activesync seems to be able to start itself!

Being that WAP is being activated, it would seem that it's connecting via the default setting in Networks "My Work Network" which is set to WAP

This concerns me because I don't know how much data is being sent over GPRS

Anyone had a similar problem?

Thanks

If it's like other IR Blasters and IR remote emulators it should be around 20 feet/6-7 meters. Searching around hasn't gotten me much luck; hopefully someone who has the phone can do an IR distance test.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] eatonjb:
Ok, so I found that if you edit the build.prop and add "qemu.hw.mainkeys=0" I can get the onscreen buttons.

GREAT! but they are huge on the N2. I really only want them for use with the S-Pen since the soft keys dont work with the pen.

Since the s-pen is pretty precise, I don't need it to take up that much screen space. I know I remember that on some of my SII's and SIII Roms there were ways of changing the size of the on-screen buttons.

All I want to do here is resize them. Any ideas? I am using the Jedi rom, so it's a stock based rom.

ides, help, etc..

In my how-to, op

there's a kernel flash zip in the attachments

(has Mex Retail by default -- originally my personal stock kernel zip)

download it

download fastboot of your choice

open up kernel zip and fastboot zip

drag and drop boot.img and device_tree.bin from fastboot zip to kernel zip, overwritie them

flash kernel zip

Don't take any chances and get it warranty replaced ASAP. Even if it starts working again it might give you trouble down the line. The bottom line is that it shouldn't be doing what you say it is doing at all. This shows the importance of the warranty because stuff like this will happen no matter which phone you have, especially with early releases.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tuxonhtc:
^+1. You've paid for an expensive phone, that's not acceptable, regardless. Just get it replaced anyways. Unless it's a standard issue everyone's experiencing, which I doubt.

Take a photo screen shot next time it happens as proof. You should be able to walk into ATT and get it replaced.

[HTC Desire S] durpex:
Hello,

I am new here and since I am not allowed to post directly into the thread of the ROM i just installed, I try here to get some help.

I installed JellyFireBeanv2 Summer Update on my HTC Desire S and everything

works fine except that the layout on the home screen seems wrong.

I cannot move any icons or widgets on the topmost row, so there is like 1cm (0.4inch) of unusable space. therefore I can just use 4x4 icons, where it seems to me it should be one row more. In addition 4x4 widgets overflow on the bottom where the dock is.

Are there some settings for this (I think forcing a 5x4 would fix it) or is this a known problem?

I hope you can understand my problem otherwise I will try to post a screenshot.

regards,

durpex
[HTC Desire S] teadrinker:
The layout is 4x4, the space at the top is something to do with the search bar I think.
[HTC Desire S] SimonTS:
+1 This. That space is where the Google bar lives. Just install a different launcher - FTL is my favourite.
[HTC Desire S] durpex:
Thanks for the help,

I thought it was some other issue with the rom.

I already have a licence for Nova Launcher, so I think I will stick to it.

Hi there people,

I have a problem with my htc explorer, I have two bad blocks in userdata and system and no rom is working correctly gb roms are slow CM roms are fast but major things doesnt work correctly.(like wifi) Is there any way to mark the bad block "bad" so that the phone doesn't use it and the problems doesn't occur. I dont have any nand problem(i had but right now it is fine), my internal storage is just fine. I heard that the phone itself mark the bad block but in my case i am having problems with the bad blocks.

How does overclocking PLL2 create bad blocks on NAND? :confused:

Can bad blocks get created even when the processor is running at a higher clock rate and no I/O operations are taking place? Most users have damaged frequently used partitions (system, userdata and cache)

I wish someone could inspect bad blocks (data and OOB data) with JTAG
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] #define:
It pains my heart everytime i read/hear/see JTAG...

My theory for nand "burning" is that the read write speeds dont match with the new clock speed, and they just..... Stop working...

M still looking for an explanation.. Maybe nhb can explain...

ғг๏๓ ҭђє ғเรђ™
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
May be the process which marks blocks bad is at fault.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
In that case, can't we programmatically switch to a safe PLL2 value before a write operation and restore the higher value once the operation is completed?

Once you had said that the NOOP I/O scheduler reduces the probability of NAND burn. I also experienced it, I could play TR2 at 800 MHz for at least 30 minutes (although I don't overclock anymore and wouldn't recommend anyone to do it)
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] #define:
About the PLL2 stuff, you'll have to talk to the pros.. I dont know anything, and I mean anything at all, about all this..

Regarding the memory loss, my system memory is 135 mb now, instead of the 150 mb... Couldnt recover it... So i too, dnt overclock anymore.. I still recommend it, but only for short periods of time.. Like if you wanna play a game, switch to oc, but then switch back.. Prolonged use, i would prevent..

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
There was a case of a guy burning his recovery partition (probably) due to overclocking... His battery died and had to use another device's battery... And couldn't boot into recovery or system.. Only bootloader was accessible. So what I did was do a lunch of cm10.1 and uploaded all the img except recovery img of yannou's recovery and via team viewer I flashed all the images using fastboot.. Didnt work. Stuck at htc logo. He has been overclocking since he got the kernel and never bothered to check if he had burnt nand or not..

Anything more you can do?

Can your use bins like flash erase via fastboot / is there busybox or similar for fastboot?

I'm on my tab
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
If you can boot,

Yes. Similarly flash erase recovery partition with terminal emulator on phone. mtd1 is recovery. Don't flash erase other partitions.

If you can't boot, use

fastboot boot recovery /sdcard/twrp5.img

Then flash erase other partitions, format, flash a small Rom

Boot and use terminal to flash erase recovery partition
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
Did the guy attempt to flash recovery through terminal emulator with the overclocked kernel?

You can try "fastboot boot recovery.img" which will boot into recovery image without flashing it. Then use flash_erase to erase the original recovery partition
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Red Devil:
I didnt tell him to do that.. I do that.. what does that do effectively ? write recovery into the boot partition ?
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
No, it reads the recovery image into memory and directly boots from it
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] abache:
reply...

I will go without script for a few days and see what will happen. (i know i will still get problems.)

PS: I did flash recovery and did wipes every kind of dalvik cache system and all of that.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] BleedingIris:
Since burning affects every partition, would it also affect memory (ram)?

I assume most i/o operations happen at ram.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Sachin Thomas:
I don't think so. RAM is different from flash memory as it uses capacitors for storing data.
