[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opz187:
So I just but my s4 today from sprint. I f****** love this thing. But on the rear camera it looks like there's this film covering the lens. Kinda like the film you peel off the front screen and whatnot. Actually that's what I thought it was so I tried peeling it off (not hard), but that shiz wasn't coming off. I've shot some pics and I think they look fine. I can push on the 'film' and it will move around a little bit. It looks like there are little nics and scrapes (barely noticeable) around the edge of the camera, but idk if that's from the manufacturing process or what. Does anyone else have this on their s4? If not, I wonder if I have a faulty device. I've included some pictures, taken from the front camera on my nexus 7 (which was difficult to do) so you know what I'm talking about. Any feedback is appreciated!! Best phone I've ever owned, and I haven't even rooted it yet!

That's the protection cover, you can remove it
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opz187:
Are you sure dude? No matter how hard I try it won't come off. I feel like I'm gonna break it somehow. Do you have an s4?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
haha It is definitely a protective film.

It is a bit hard to remove but it comes off :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dacbeth:
Removed mine, just get a fingernail under the edge, will peel off.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opz187:
Ok thanks guys. Haha I must sound like a moron. This is my first really nice smartphone. So im kinda in love right now, and dont want to hurt my precious s4
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soraxd:
I know how you feel, a few other threads on the same subject as yours have come up, that film is hella hard to get off.. took me 10 mins lol, was so scared I'd wreck something.. but it's deff supposed to come off. there's also film on the sides of the phone I didn't notice till day 2, anyways back to camera, yeah remind that shiz!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POLO_i780:
Yep, you can remove it, took me a while to, but it began annoy me as part of it was up, so I eventually took it off.

There is any way or application on ANDROID to REPAIR it :D

again please reply early ..........:eek:

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 and Duos 6102 Q&A, Help & Troubl] deathnotice01:
it's a damaged archive,

you can re-download it to wherever source you got it from and make sure to verify the MD5 so that you can check for corruption,

in windows winrar has a repair option,

you can try this software at rarlab.com

but as for android, i know none of such app with that capability

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] hmerali:
There seems to be a very annoying bug on my new XDAII that is running the 1.6O O2 ROM.

If I am on the phone and i receive a call that alerts me that there is a call is waiting, and I decline to answer it, the sound is cut off and I can't hear the caller anymore. Cancelling the current call and re-dialling is the only way of getting 'sound back'.

Furthtermore, another irritating bug is that if the phone rings and I answer after only 1-2 rings, I can't hear anything for a few seconds and have to wait those couple of seconds before i can speak to the other person. This doesn't seem to happen if the call is answered after 3-4 rings.

Any help would be appreciated.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Shadamehr:
Me too - only answer I found was to turn off call waiting.

Poor solution.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Mosser:
Same for me, i too had to turn off call waiting, however i found that if you are using a bluetooth headset when the second call comes in and you decline to answer it, it just transfers the current call the the phone and you can continue it there
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ketinson:
Same problem here.

I find that if you put the call on hold and then resume - the voice will come back.

VERY irritating.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] alkandery75:
Same for me too, I have T-Mobile 1.60 and using BTHTools 1.1.0.0...

Do you use BTHTools?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] hmerali:
yes l am using BT tools.

regards,

hasnain
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ketinson:
I performed a hard reset...

Did NOT install BT Tools - and had the same problem.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Shadamehr:
Mine did this long before using BT tools also.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] durius:
I also have the same problem....

Is it an incompatibility between the phone and Bt Tools?

Is there any solution other than turning off call waiting?
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] hmerali:
Does anyone face the 2nd problem that I mentioned:

Sometimes when I pick up the phone after it rings, it takes a couple of seconds before i can hear the caller. This happens more often when picking the phone up within 1 or 2 rings.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ketinson:
This problem was aroung in the I-mate ROM 1.66.

They fixed both with the 1.72 ROM.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] watchdogsdg:
i DON'T THINK THIS IS FIXED IN 1.72. i STILL HAVE THESE SAME PROBLEMS TOO, RUNNING t-MOBILE 1.72.

While running 1.60 I replaced the Radio Stack only with the O2 original release version - sorry don't remember version number - and it worked without these two very annoying bugs in the phone. i think it is a problem with the readio stack version only.

After losing the voice with an incoming call I can get the voice back without redialing by placing the call on hold and then resuming.

I have the same problems with or without bluetooth tools and with or without a BT headset.

Now, I have T-Mobile's 1.72 installed and am afraid to reload the working radio stack becasue of the "downgrade disaster" with 1.72. I am anxiously waiting for either a stable 1.72 or XDA Developers to help us out of this mess with this ****ty ROM.

This forum is fantastic. Thanks to everyone.

Steve
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] ketinson:
I had the problem in the 1.66 ROM, and no longer have it with 1.72!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] hmerali:
I've just installed the new O2 1.72 ROM and am still having the same problem.

I am also suffering from a problem I was having on the old ROM. Many times when I receive a call and press the green answer button, it takes between 2-5 seconds for me to hear the person calling. The person calling also hears a similar period of slience before he/she can hear me.

The same thing also happens sometimes when I call out, where only once 2-3 rings into the call or if the other party has already picked up thephone can I hear or say something.

I'm not sure if caller ID or Photo ID has anything to do with it as I have around 1380 contacts on my xda.

This problem is extremely annoying and was wondering if there is anyone out there who has faced the problem and may have an answer for it.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] mikeycollins13:
Us too

We have two xda2 with 1.72, and same thing, there is a 5 second delay upon recieving any call, and sometimes there is a hangup duriong call waiting???
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Anton.Valleyman:
I never had that problem until I installed Bluetooth Tools...now it always happens. Though as someone's suggested, holding and resuming seems to do the trick.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deepakskht1:
Hey,

My Good Old Wildfire S Died a Few days back.So I am Insearch of New phone now and Came across the Sony xperia Ion.I read many mixed reviews for the phone and kinda confused to buy it or not? Is the phone really worth? Now the phone is available for Rs.21500/- (390 $)

I Would be thankful if someone reply me.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] utsav911:
I too bought it few weeks ago for same price as my Xperis S got stolen.

And believe me the phone is just too good for its price.

Great Design, Better performance compared to XS, and the most important thing the best display from SONY.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deepakskht1:
Is the processor ok for casual gaming and telephony...i also planning to play some cool games like dead trigger,Temple Run 2! Can the phone handle this tasks? And also how is XDA support for this phone?;)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] smartboy0668:
I had wildfire s before ion....wildfire s was stolen....so i bought ion at&t model...phone is very good builded...bettery life is good if u dont use much of the internet...screen resolution and screen size is perfect....

Just a minus feature is cam clearity and less developement...but cam will be better on JB update...the phone is getting JB in may end...JB MAY BE TJE LAST OFFICIAL UPDATE FOR ION.

But ifu need better update suport than go for x sp...it is new device with jb...and may have more update support above jb in future...

---------- Post added at 10:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:50 AM ----------

U can play temple run and subway surfers flawlessly if u remove some bloatwares...some lags may be due to less free ram..about 300 mb on stock ics!!!

I am playing ironman 3 ...it is nice...gaming xperience is not as much good as quad core 1.5ghz ...obviously..but it is ok...phonecan handle hd games...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] deepakskht1:
Yeah The specs are good for the 8th month old 21k phone....but it am hoping the device the device is supported upto Key Lime Pie...are you sure JB is the last update ?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] utsav911:
As far as its a snapdragon device, I believe it will have a custom rom.

sent from my Xperia Ion using taptalk
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] jtr165:
Owned my Ion since AT&T first released it last summer.

IMO, the main concern and cause for mixed initial reviews was simply it shipping with Gingerbread. That isn't an issue any more. It runs ICS perfectly fine for the most part, and is scheduled for JB pretty soon. My gf has a TL, which is the slightly updated S/Ion, and i really don't notice much difference in performance between the two, at least for very normal usage. I know development wise, with benchmarks this and that, you'll read differently...but it wasn't something tangible enough for me to notice between regularly messing with both.

Gaming wise. I regularly play Dead Trigger on high settings, Asphault 7, Doom GLES,etc, and have never had any issues. I know those games scale according to the hardware, but all look great. I've seen the videos that show what Tegra 3 support does, and most effects are subtle enough for it not to be a huge deal. Obviously, those being pretty high requirement games, nearly anything else runs very easily.

The screen. To this day i haven't seen a better screen on a cell phone, including recently messing around with a friend's Z. Contrast is perfect, viewing angles work acceptably, and the pixel density is to the point where i simply can't tell when something is better. Watching top gear in 720p on my Ion and the same episode in 1080p on a Z just after...i couldn't see the difference.

The only bad thing is all on Sony. Considering 76 phones have been released since last June; its pretty realistic that if they do decide to bump the Ion or S to KLP, it won't show up until 2015...but considering an Ion is pretty much free right now, that isn't really a big deal.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] FanDroid09:
The ion is indeed a solid phone... But why not consider a nexus 4? Its muuuuuuuuch better. Unless it's not available in your region or something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Galaxy-Shadow:
I have a AT&T Galaxy Note that is unlocked for use on T-Mobile, and want to do update to Jellybean but all I can find is ICS, and all the links for ICS warn about this update, I found many...does anyone know which one is the best for update to ICS with AT&T Galaxy Note for T-Mobile service??

I don't want to brick this phone so I'm hoping someone has already done this? and knows which is the best setup for success.

I have done a search on this and have so many to choose from?...makes me dizzy!! LOL!...this will be my first time doing this so experience is minimal at best...

By the way, s-off is not the same as rooting your phone. Read the link that was posted carefully.

To quote myself, from my infiniROM thread:

The above solution is good if you want to set a permanent setting, or if you do not mind rebooting your phone whenever you change cpu governor and io scheduler. If you want to experiment without rebooting though, I highly recommend the free Voltage Control app; once you do not need it anymore, freeze or uninstall it, and use the init.d script instead.

I want to buy the I9500 Galaxsy s4 with the Exynos 5 Octa 5410 Chipset, does anyone know if it will work in the States? Specifically in T-mobile's 3G/4G network?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PurpleSh4rk:
The Octa-core version is LTE only from my understanding. Since T-Mobile's network is not LTE, but HSPA+ it would not be compatible.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KillaHurtz:
This is incorrect. The i9500 has support for all 20 LTE bands but no modem for them, so no LTE. As far as support on T-Mobile; it has UTMS/DC-HSPA+42, which is what the GS2, GS3, and Note 2 all had. T-Mobile does support LTE in a handful of markets and is adding 10-20 in the next few months. Please do some research before commenting on something you know nothing about.

[HTC Rezound] garnet&gold:
I am trying to backup my wife's unrooted rezound's sd card, before rooting her phone, but when i connect her phone to the pc i cannot see usb storage but if I go into adb it will recognize the phone. I have reinstalled drivers, toggled usb debugging, etc. All to no avail.

My rooted rezound shows up without incident.

Any ideas or suggestions are greatly appreciated.

Thanks!
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Okay, the obvious question is is the phone in Disk Drive mode. Since you have another Rezound that connects fine I assume you have checked this but doesn't hurt to ask. Yours might be in Disk Drive by default where as hers may be in Charge Only by default.
[HTC Rezound] garnet&gold:
Thanks, yeah, it's in disk mode. I've even toggled between disk and charge as well as the usb debugging on off, and rebooted the phone and pc, and tried different usb ports.... I'm stumpped.

I forgot to mention, her phone does show up in htc sync, if i let that run. It just does not show as a usb storage device. When sync is off.

[Nexus 4 General] amdhunter:
Sold my Nexus 4 because I figured my iPhone was good enough for daily tasks until I could get my hands on an Xperia Z, HTC One, or even an Oppo Find 5.

Got to play with an HTC One, and despite it looking like a decent phone, the screen wasn't the huge sell I'd thought it would be and having dedicated home and menu buttons just seems outdated. Fine, I figured an Xperia Z would have been nicer, but, while it looks premium, didn't really seem worth the $700 for it.

And there's no way I'd get an S4. No way, Samsung phones just scream cheap. I've thought this since the GS2. And the Oppo has no dev support yet.

So here I go again. On my 5th Nexus 4.

Why do I keep coming back? :( You'd think an LG device would be garbage, but it's more premium and fun to own than anything else I mentioned. Can't wait until Google I/O so Google can make me spend more money again.
