[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] boo_boo325:
Hey guys I have an Epic Touch 4g and I was wondering if youd be able to replace the glass only!?I know theyve done it on the i900 but this one has a touch only home button.I already ordered the glass I just wanted to know it its been done successfully?!please help guys I cant afford the glass plus digitizer!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] patrao_n:
As far as I kno a it can bs done. You would need to look up exactly how and where to heat tje screen up to seperate the glass from the digitizer. Also putting it back on will be a pain with the dust and whatnot. Good luck.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tuscani1821:
I sell the whole screen with LCD and digitzer with earphone jack for $50 with free shipping
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] graydiggy:
Doing just the glass is a very time consuming and very risky process. You will need a heating plate or a heat gun. Not a blow dryer. If you do it incorrectly with either device, you will fry the LCD or other components. It is much easier and much safer to just replace the full assembly. I am very proficient with hardware and I would much rather replace the entire assembly than attempt to do just the glass. It is too risky.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Nuenjin:
Does anyone know of a good video, emphasis on good, describing the teardown and replacement of the screen. I'm about to start searching and honestly I don't have a lot of time to find it on my own.

Thanks.

Sweet I had looked for YouTube videos and stuff but I had only seen it done with the other s2 versions..I'm doing it to my s3 also..totally have the heat gun and tools..I'm gonna go head and risk the glass and if all else fails looks like ill have to take him on that deal and get the digitizer and lcd!wish me luck!I'm gonna record myself so if I succeed I'll post a video!

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squabbi:
I have just recently bought a MIFARE NFC tags. I believe they are the classic ones. My galaxy s4 says its not supported.

Any ideas?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KillaHurtz:
Samsung has already stated that the previous generation of TecTiles are not supported.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] squabbi:
Sorry havent heard. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaibosh:
Tectiles don't equal NFC tags - they're just a name that Samsung use for THEIR NFC tags..

Samsung changed the NFC controller in the S4 to a Broadcom controller (whereas previously it was an NXP one), so are unable to read some NFC tags (MiFare classic/1k being one of them - which happen to be what the original Samsung Tectiles are).

Some places are saying that it affects all MiFare tags, but it's only the MiFare Classic/1k that's being named - So if you buy any tags, avoid anything with the word "MiFare" for now.

I have a heap of MiFare Classic tags (now useless), and some MiFare Ultralight which may or may not work. If you're desperate for stickers now, NTAG203 tags work (I just tried one to be sure), but they can only hold about 1/6 of the data that that the Classic could hold.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monotheist:
It was silly of Samsung to change it suddenly.

Are there NTAG203 tags that support more storage of data? More than 114 bytes? do the specifications allow it?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaibosh:
MiFare Ultralight work just fine (reading tags that have already been written, recognising unformatted tags, and formatting and writing tags).

So it looks like it's just the Classic/1k that are useless for us now.

---------- Post added at 03:49 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:22 PM ----------

@monotheist: I've read that the Broadcom controller is "better" (it's subjective I guess), but I agree that it's pretty crappy to make a switch rendering all of Samsung's existing (extremely overpriced considering the price you can get tags for elsewhere) NFC tags useless. I'd be royally PO'd if I'd shelled out for the Samsung ones thinking that I'd be better off as far as compatibility goes.

I don't believe that the specs for NTAG203 allow for any more data - although I'm far from an expert so could be wrong here. According to http://www.gototags.com/docs/display/NFC/NFC+Chip+Types (they sell tags, so take any information as a sales spiel) the Type IV tags hold huge amounts of data - they're also about $3-4 each. Expensive, but not too bad if you're only after a few. No idea whether they're readable by the S4, but on a forum elsewhere I saw someone recommending Type IV tags (the conversation was specific to the S4), so it's possible. Personally, until I see someone say that they've used specific tags successfully with the S4, I'll be wary of getting them :)

Personally, I use an app that uses the the tag ID, combined with a url to trigger the specific app (since so many apps try to pick up the tag when it's scanned now - and I don't like setting the default reader if I can avoid it.. Only uses a tiny amount of data, and all of the tasks (assuming triggering tasks is what you're after) is saved on the phone so can be as long as it needs to be without running into space issues.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robogar:
Just used NXP TagInfo on a blank NTAG203 (type 2) tag. The amount of usable storage is exactly 137 bytes.

To clarify everything, I also wrote a short summary of the issue here
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaibosh:
In the summary you mention that "...you can get a pack of NTAG203 NFC Tags, which are essentially what Tectile 2s are going to be, at a fraction of the price." Are the Tectiles 2 going to be NTAG203? I had assumed that they would be Type IV tags.. I've not used them, so I'm not certain how much data they need to store.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robogar:
I think I should have used the word "probably" instead of "essentially", and I've updated my posting.

I've been trying to find out exactly what kind of tags the Tectile 2s are going to be but so far no luck yet.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jastonas:
Can you suggest nfc tags that are cheap for basic usage with the Galaxy S4?

ebay?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaibosh:
[MENTION=5192893]Robogar[/MENTION]: Ahhh.. No worries. Considering that some places have reported that some people purchasing the original Tectiles have actually gotten Tectiles 2 (even though they weren't packaged as such), I'd have thought that specifics would have been plastered all over the place.

---------- Post added at 12:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 PM ----------

@jastonas; There are loads of places online that sell tags in small quantities. Personally, I'd go for a dedicated shop versus ebay, but that's just me. Check out http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1662367 for a list of places. Just make sure you don't get the MiFare Classic/1k ones :)

Edit: Just noticed that the post I linked to hadn't been updated for a while, so wont include any newer sources.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Robogar:
Found a tweet from someone who probably got the new batch of Tectiles.

https://twitter.com/BeauGiles/status/327216733335207938

Looks like they're going to be NFC Forum Type 4 tags so lots of storage space. I wonder if the pricing will be similar to the previous Tectiles?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wizzbang3:
Wait, are you saying that the S4 is incapable of supporting the larger tags? they max out at a certain size now?

Why on earth did they change this controller?

I also have 25$ worth of useless tags thanks to this change and I'm reluctant to order anymore unless I know they will CONTINUE to keep goddamned working >:( >:( >:(

---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:24 PM ----------

Ok so I guess my question above has now been answered.

So does anyone know if the chips on the tectile 2 models will be released unbranded and cheap as heck on ebay from sellers in asia? The NTAG203's can be quite cheap.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TaggerNFC:
I would recommend either the NTAG203 or the Topaz 512. Either has compatibility with any NFC enabled device.

Main differences are NTAG203's have only 144 bytes of available storage but the Topaz 512 has 462 bytes of available storage. You can actually find the Topaz 512 cheaper at some places.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zibri:
I wonder if it's a hardware or software limitation. Probably software imho.

I found a way for ppl who dont know, or people that dont want to have set cpu or apps like those installed, you can go to the init.d folder using root explorer or any app that lets you browse root and edit the 91GovSched file and change the governor there also the scheduler.

I try for DIAG, CS_Emergency and also when it on Emergency Mode (yellow screen)

All do nothin.

I Found anyone talking that v10k which can replace v20a

I'm running windows 7 64bit. Is that a problem with EN_KDZ?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moulwxtos:
About phone not being detected:

1. Be sure you have done all steps correctly(Correct Driver installation,especially model specific drivers if you can find // installed msxml.msi-if you haven't already, find it, install it and restart- // having windowsenabler.exe running and - On ) before starting the procedure.

2. You should also disable the LG modem driver.

3. I also propose doing the flashing in Emergency Download Mode and without the battery.

The above are mainly for the phone to be detected.

You said you had other problems too. What errors do you occur to? You have upgraded to v20b and cannot ... downgrade? V20b worked? Are you able to re-install it?
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gefademe2d:
I've done the list on #1 and #3 but I didn't on #2.

Will try again today..

Hope I can make it! :D

Yeah..another issues is still on v20a, it also made a mess when updating to CM10 (latest update) NO RADIO SIGNAL (just like other said), and some game not working properly with stock v20a (Real Racing always force to close, smoother when i'm using v10f france+CM10).

The big point is My LG L7 with CM10 still smoother even it still not in alpha.
[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moulwxtos:
I meant upgrading issues.

If your only issue is that your phone is not connected that's the easy part and you don't have to worry. There's no driver that cannot be found and correctly installed ....! ::p

Well..the latest problem is on the KDZ.

The Rusian created that v20a for reason and just special v10k (Rusian and France people create this one) that can unlock v20a (i tho soo)

Okay first lets start off on saying i am not responsible for your phone messing up or looking different nor is anyone else that is your fault

none of these zips are signed unfortunately when i tried it keeped messing up BUT YOU DONT NEED THEM SIGNED!!

red voodoo cwm just install them

if on yellow cwm [main menu> install zip> signature check> disable] now look for the zip and install​

Please note this will make your phone stuff blue like nexus jb 1.3.1

if anyone would like to sign them for me id really appreciate it​

Special thanks to:

But I am still working on a few battery's another chyris battery (different icons same look and feel) an I am looking for more "different" ones also I'm testing out the ones uploaded out so far xmod cyris and your honey comb is working perfectly
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ndiy:
Well, guess I didn't have to make it myself, immorality already done most of it, lol.

I'll be adding some other battery icon later in this thread, so that easier to everyone to search battery themes. :D

Yes it would be great (: an try to upload a pic of both the batter an the charging battery so people can see what it looks like (saves alot of time instead of flashing 10 different battery's)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
okay i am thinking about taking this theming thread one step further and (copy and paste other peoples theme into a flash)

if i do end up doing this i will try to get the basic colors ex green, blue, red, yellow, brown, black/white and pink for the ladies c; ahah

anyone have any suggestions on colors i should do first IF i do try?

p.s. if i do this the batterys will not be changed as it will take awhle putting each battery into each theme so i will recommend either suggesting what you want an ill upload it real fast or USING ROM TOOLBOX
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] demkantor:
Sounds like fun! You should consider learning how to use the kitchen for some relatively easy theming. It takes a little to get used to it but you caught on real quick so I'm sure you could learn this as well.

Maybe see if ricandroid has some free time (I know his busy with life right now) and see if he would work on a project with you, his theming skills are up there with the best of them!

If not what you plan sounds like it would be well liked, I could help you create an aroma package if you would like that can allow the user to pick which theme to which icon to whatever. Nice but of course the best way is to learn which xml files to edit and allow them to be done within the ROM, a lot more work bit doable.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
i know if it was the same as apples i would be fine i use to theme on there for awhile then stoped once i got my phone

an yea ric is extremly good at theming he should be after making a few dozen roms for this phone alone i will be trying to help as much as posible an after my contract ends and i get a new phone ill come back here an there to help out

the xml files truly i have no idea what they were so i leave them alone and just do the .png files i think i might mess around with my phone again an get bigger resolution (only problem is the lockscreen doesnt fit correctly
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] ivoe:
Okay well major set back on my part no longer have a computer at my disposial

Will try using someones laptop now an then but I seriously doubt it

I believe that this is correct but you have just misinterpreted what they have said. I think that what they mean is you can still use your BT headset for making and receiving calls while using the BT GPS receiver, this doesn’t mean the sound will go out through the BT headset, this isn’t possible.

However having said that, I don’t actually own a BT GPS receiver so I can't be 100% sure, I could be wrong and if I am I'm sure one will correct me.

ComicsRacing is not a trivial racing, but the true racing strategy for those having a heart for speeding race cars, as well as putting their thinking caps on.

The game imitates racing on paper being well-known from childhood up. The rules are quite simple here. Cars move one-by-one along the route squares. Everything functions genuinely: a motion vector, a race car speed, its acceleration and other fellow parameters are taken into account.

game support singleplayer, hot seat and multiplayer via internet

social platform (scoreloop) are also intergated in game
