This will block the NFC. I would know cuz I had one for my S3. But if you dont care about NFC, then this is your best bet.

Im holding the s4 in my hand and typing this. It does not feel cheap to me at all. Never the less in the interest of protection im getting a aluminium bumper. Really hope dracodesign does one soon.

Is there any truth to this? Would the metal back ACTUALLY effect the signal and NFC?? Alluminum is not exactly "highly conductive" and phones like the HTC One we have all heard so much about, are made almost completely from aluminum. . . :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Vertron:
I would like to see a higher quality photo or video of the black battery door.

The only thing I don't about the S4 is the glossy finish to the original battery door.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Orwell1984:
Yeah these are pretty slick. If I hadn't already spent a grip on cases I would probably think about one of these.

As far as the hostility in this thread I think it stems from the title. If you wanted less angst you could have titled it something along the lines of "Cool Aluminum S4 Case" instead of the "crybabies". Just sayin.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Fu5ion:
I wonder if this would fit the I9505 as well? as far as I know there's no structural differences between the two.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ParaLanche:
I would like to know this aswell!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Vertron:
The only real difference between the I9505 and the I9500 is the processor. Physically they are the same.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ttnuagmada:
I had an Inspire 4G before my S4, and while I don't think I'd say the S4 feels cheap in comparison, it definitely feels fragile in comparison. I don't have a case yet either, and without one, it feels like something that you could snap in half if you sat on it by accident. On the otherhand, I'm pretty sure my 4G could survive being thrown at a brick wall by Aroldis Chapman.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] BadAssAbe:
Few questions if y'all don't mine answering

On the metal blackcover

Does the phone heat up any more than usual?

Can you verify NFC doesn't work?

Does the cover add any thickness?

Do you think the metal back cover will work with the metal bumper?

Thanks for your time
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Skander1998:
If the case is made of read aluminium, NFC should NOT work, it can't.

Now the wifi/signal etc are a different story, they shouldn't be affected, and if they are, it should be minimal.

The HTC one has two plastic stripes on the back, above the radios.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Xcor3:
1. No

2. Yes, it will not work

3. It does, a little that some case wouldnt work

4. Depends on what kind of metal bumper, but im 99% sure it will not fit.

The NFC antenna in the One is hidden in the same spot as the rear camera.

I updated three days ago using kies and I had rooted with the philz kernel. Update went through without any problems, only that I lost root (which was expected). As long as you only install a custom kernel and root and do no other modifications to your system the update through kids should work fine.

Apparantly the kernal gets overwrotten during an ota update according to the second comment

And aslong as its just a custom.kernal and no custom rom which is what I have

Just the kernel then it should.go along fine.

I think...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
An OTA is nothing else than flashing an update.zip in recovery. Even the format and the syntax of the updater-script is the same. You can imagine an OTA as restarting the phone in recovery mode by passing the update.zip as parameter.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SubNova:
Ok then I sort of underatand what you mean so really nothing should go wrong if i update through the phonea spfware updater its just flashing a new os version and kernel over the top of the old one so it dosent matter is i have a modifies kernel or not?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndDiSa:
This depends much on how the update is done. The update can either overwrite everything with new versions (and in that case the base is independent) or the update can do a kind of "incremental" update by flashing only differences between the old is and the new one (especially Google on its Nexus devices is doing so frequently). In those cases the base must be exactly the version they are expecting, otherwise the update will fail.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keithross39:
This (I think) I know a little bit about....

A full update is achieved if the phone is connected to kies through a PC

An incremental (barebones) update is available if OTA wi fi is used

G'day All,

Recently I was wandering through the settings options, as you do, when I came across the clock application (I should have left it alone).

Start->Settings>System+Clock>Alarms

I set-up 4 alarms using the analog clock, without realising that the 24Hr clock was a better way to set the time.

Anyway after a few alarms going off (In the early hours) I decided to deselect them from the application, hoping that they would go away.

Unfortunately the alarms are still going off, even though I have deselected them.

Is there an alarm configuration file that I can physically hack, to remove the timmings, or is a fix available for this??

Please Help!

Hi Everyone...

Basically wanna spit 'at' notifications to a cookoo or martian......

Wondering if there is a drop in binary that will send alerts to these devices or how hard the programming would be???

Basically, I need periodic triggering ( with the martian - a 6 character text message as well ), would be nice if the other features of the watch aren;t lost i.e. the generic app can handle camera control / audible mute etc....

I ran across a post on this site in some device leaf about good support on the cookoo for calendar alerts ( and disabling / customisation of other alerts )....... but I don't wan't my "common" calendar stuff triggering, just the "special" vibrations...

Does anyone have a cookoo or martian and can confirm there is a way "in app" to periodicly ( multiple - variable - preset ) make these things vibrate. Or has anyone came across someone hacking a binary that talk to these units.

In the stuff i've read.....the cookoo seems most app friendly

and

the martian may give me text notifications ( not sms - just a preset string...from a seperate calendar??? )

Cheers.

Would be really interesting to hear from an mobil expert which LTE bands are really supported!

In Germany we have band 3 (1.800 Mhz; Telekom) and 20 (800 Mhz; Telekom, Vodafone, o2), eventually also band 7 (2.600 Mhz, all 4 provides).

See www . smsmich . de/Mobiles-Internet/lte-frequenzen . php - Frequenzen in Deutschland.

Only the KT device (SHV-E300

K

) seems to have this or a very similar config.

If this matches I'd be very interested in this device, too!
