[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
You'll have to flash back to stock KK4 (without bootloaders) to restore it. Once on stock, make a backup of your efs folder. Get back up to Captivating and if you get the error again, simply replace your efs folder with your backed up one (with the right permissions) and reboot. Should be good from there.

P.S.: There are plenty of little guides explaining how to recovery from IMEI error/lost. Use the search next time ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feysofit:
Thanks for answer, is it safe to modify EFS folder? in case of anything goes wrong how can i restore the original state?

P.S.: Is this a general issue regarding 4.2.2 for this device or a rom cooking error?

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
It's not a general issue, it randomly happens and lucky for you, it's easily fixable.

Yes, it's safe to replace the efs folder. Know that without it, you won't have signal nor data so you don't wanna mess with it. Going back to stock will flash the correct one on your device (which will fix your IMEI problem) and if you get this issue again, you'll have a backup of the correct efs folder.

Hi,

While my screen is off, my CPU goes up to 1.2GHz (about 5% time). It's goes down to 0.2GHZ in few seconds if I unlock the screen. I did notice, that this might be caused by Video player (it's show for a while in OS monitor), but I don't know what to do with it. Did any one encounter this behavior? TIA.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larelijux:
Hello.

I've got lots of problems with my Cyanogenmod, and I feel like I need to change it to some other ROM. CM10 is working very slow, even with no apps on it, and CM9 just stops working well after some time (low memory notification shows up = in a few days it just kills every app all the time, doesn't start after reboot).

And there's my question - what is the best ROM for Samsung Galaxy S i9000 for me? I don't need newest features, I require smooth working and stable system.

Thanks for the help :)

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 5aaled:
I have tried most rom, this rom is fastest you can see that from comment also.

About launcher you can install the launcher you want. Also if you want the stock theme just delete the morph folder from rom zip before flashing ;)

Just be sure that you read the flashing instruction to have rom without prob.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] akash_84:
Just to let you guys know that I got an invisible shield for the S4 (front only) a couple of days before launch.

fitment is perfect and covers the screen up to the point of the sensors at the top and home button. I initially wanted the one allowing a skin but given that I use the cover with the hole, this was pointless.

Also the brodit car holder I am using clips from the top where the shield does not cover so it's perfect.

Not much else to say but if anyone was after one, it's not a bad purchase. Obviously still comes with the 25 year warranty on it too.

As for feeling, yes bare screen is lovely but I personally prefer the slightly matt/textured surface as it helps type and grip better than the slippy glass surface.

I have taken a pic but you can't really see anything so I won't bother uploading unless someone does want to see.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] RandomHandle:
I also picked one up. Something that should be noted is that they sell different versions. The one I picked up was the HD which was supposed to be smoother than the regular one. It isnt as smooth as glass by any means but it is considerably nicer than the older plastic ones. There was also a privacy version to prevent shoulder surfing.

I will eventually migrate over to the tempered glass I think. Waiting to hear some reviews on a good sticking one, I hate bubbles or anything of the sort.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] akash_84:
Ah yes good point

I think there are about 4 or 5 variants. I have to say and please don't let it be an insult to yours but HD had the worst of reviews. While it was more "glassy" like, it was also more thinner and was very easy to scratch.

I went for the original and so far despite a couple of rubbings at the gym, it's still mark-free.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] RandomHandle:
No offense taken. Like I said I'm not thrilled with mine.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] fade2green514:
never did like the clarity of these things. they kind of make the screen look like it has ripples. i like the regular old screen protectors.

that being said xtremeguard.com has essentially the same product for like 80 cents each i think with the promo code 'coaster'

i bought some as backups cause they're so cheap
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] RandomHandle:
I just noticed after my last post that I do have a bunch of soft scratches in the screen protector. None that touched the glass of the phone but still you can see them under the right light.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] geoldr:
This is called Orange Peel and Zagg is infamous for it.

I got this sp on launch and now a few days later it looks like I've had this phone for 2 years. So many small dents.

My spigen screen protector and case come tomorrow, cant wait to rip this crap off.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] fade2green514:
exactly what i was thinking lol
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Highway 55:
I bought the invisible shield extreme. There is absolutely zero orange peel on this model. It is also crystal clear. I had a few people who hate any screen protectors comment on the clarity. It really looks and feels like there is no screen protector. The extreme is a bit thicker, but it does not effect any aspect of how the touch screen functions.

I owned the original invisible shield on my last 2 phones. I will say that the orange peel was pretty ugly. They did work as advertised though...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
Do you think the Extreme is worth getting over the HD? And does the Extreme work with a case?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Highway 55:
I can't comment on the HD. It is worth getting over the original. It does work with a case. I just got my Seidio Active yesterday, works great! :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
Thanks. Well.... I guess I'll have to decide on my own whether to pay the extra $10 for the EXTREME. Wish it was cheaper.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] facetubespam:
Well, I ended up getting both and gotta say the Extreme is definitely worth it for a couple of reasons:

1. It is thicker so there is no worry about cases pushing up on it.

2. It comes out smoother and clearer without any air bubbles, but you have to wait longer for it to even itself out.

3. Easier to apply, especially with the rest of them attached to the silly new packaging.

4. More protection obviously.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] miketucky350:
Zagg hd all the way! It looks and feels like nothing is there. No orange peel rubber feel. Plus the same easy wet install.

[HTC One S] PierDesk:
Hello guys,

yesterday my brother bricked his HTC One S (he is very peachy in breacking new phones :eek: ) and I was not able to restore the stock rom.

I tried some restore methods:

- If I try to enter in recovery mode on the screen appears the phone with red triangle

- If I try to run ruu exe in fastboot it doesn't work (error 155 or error 130 after various try)

- If I try to install stock zip from fastboot (after the restoring of genuine boot.img and recovery.img) the terminal said:"FAILED <remote: not allowed>"

I have no idea how to fix the issue so I hope you can help me :(

What could I do? Thanks all!
[HTC One S] vksjangra:
you should flash TWRP recovery to install a custom rom than you can try different sense roms which are very close to stock
[HTC One S] usaff22:
Could you say what the RUU says for error 155 or 130? Also, to enter the menu for recovery hold down power, and while holding it down, press volume up.

Edit: You are using the wrong RUU. What CID are you and what phone do you have, Ville C2?

Also you might want to hide your Serial #
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntonioItaly:
Hi all,

owner of an old Galaxy S GT-i9000.

I've installed CyanogenMod 10.1-20130501-nightly-galaxysmtd directly from old standard Samsung installation.

It works fine (Apollo have some crashes but I can wait a stable version)

But there is a problem about modem.bin file and settings.

My offices are partially shielded so with the standard Samsung OS the modem signal go up and down like a yoyo but works (a lot of patience) depending also from position (no openable Windows ... http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/frown.gif )

With the CyanogenMod (also with stable version and not only with nightly) the line don't exist ...

Not only but if I go along the street the line is off ... I must restart the phone and all works with good performances.

I'm thinking that the modem.bin in CyanogenMod is for a different country of mine.

I'm in Italy and my provider is Wind.

Maybe there is a better (older?) version of modem.bin for Italy & Wind?

So I can install it via Odin in the phone or insert the zip file in internal SD and load it in recovery mode.

Any suggestion is accepted ... I can also testing several versions if it is necessary

Please an help is appreciated ...

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] akash_84:
Hi all,

Just wanted to upgrade that after spending a fair bit on an iPhone 5 brodit holder only to sell the phone for a GS3 and purchasing a GS3 holder (for skins), I really did not want to splash out more £££ for a S4 holder if and when it comes out from Brodit.

So today I tried the GS4 in the holder. Because of the small change in height between the two versions, the S4 fits perfectly in the S3 Brodit holder. I use the holder for skins which has no grip from the sides but instead a charger port at the bottom and a spring loaded clip at the top.

Charges fine so no issues there - also I >think< the ciggy plug is 2a anyway so it charges pretty quickly

Give me a shout if anyone has any questions about it.

Oh the plug is not made to tell the S4 it's in car-mode so all that is manual. I have an NFC tag at the back of the holder that used to switch the S3 into Driving Mode so I can do something similar for the S4 instead of spending money on another holder which would only potentially add the auto-dock functionality.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] McDoPDA:
Hello,

Thank you for you feedback. Can you post pictures of your Brodit holder with the S4 ? Do you have a link for the Brodit holder ?

Thank you.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] ramk13:
I was about to post to see if anyone had tried the S4 in various S3 holders. I have a brodit setup in my car now for my old Nexus S and I wanted to upgrade it for the S4. I emailed proclip and they said they are working on the S4, but don't have a release date. If the S3 works, I'll get that now. A bonus is that my wife has an S3 so she can use it too. One issue with the case friendly holder is that it's $110. That's a little steep. I didn't have a case on my Nexus S, so I was able to use the normal holder that does grip on the sides. The S3 and S4 are a little different in this regard, so not sure that the S3 normal holder for $60 would work.

The other (cheaper) option I've been looking at is to get the iBolt xProDock for $40 plus AMPS mounting plate ($7) to connect it to the brodit vehicle adapter. Seems like there would be an extra step involved with attaching the charging cable each time, but you wouldn't have to connect audio by aux/bluetooth like you do with the brodit/proclip holder. It's also $70 cheaper.

Has anyone else tried the S4 in S3 docks meant to be used without cases?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] akash_84:
sorry for the delay

So the one I got was part number: 512409 and was purchased from Brodit but of their eBay UK site (I'm in the UK)

It's the one that allows skins though works fine with the s-view case as long as you fold the "lid" back behind the phone. I had the same with the S3 with a similar case. Also has the charger built into this one and charges quickly without any issues.

Here are a couple of pics
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] akash_84:
Actually looking at this pic, it looks like the screen protector is peeling at the top, it is not and the protector does not even cover that bit. I think it's a bit of fluff in the flap for the case that's been folded back so don't worry :- )
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Esspee_London:
Passive holder is already out, and so I'm guessing active holder can't be that far behind.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] akash_84:
Must have only just come out but remember the passive one you linked does not allow skins or any type of case on the phone so if you have one, you would have to remove it to then slide into the holder.

The GS3 one I posted above allows skins - as you can just about see, I have the s-view case on but you can have the clip on cases too
