[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] coojoe1000:
I was one of the people who blew off the S4 as an unimaginative incremental upgrade that would sell like hotcakes to fanboys. Words I find ironic now holding the S4 in my hand. I think the turning point for me came when I was watching a Netflix movie on my HTC one. It was a dark room and the light from my One was entirely too bright so I tapped the screen and pulled down the notification bar to quickly change the brightness...No brightness adjustment. Just a check-box to activate Power Save Mode. So to adjust the brightness I hit the setting button, went into display, and made the change. Reopening the Netflix app, I re-clicked on the movie, it buffered and continued where I left off. Now it was a little too dark...Rinse and repeat. This was about as unintuitive as it gets. I realized at this point I was missing some pretty fundamental options I had grown accustomed to coming from the Galaxy S3. Quick settings aside, the lack of a menu button was becoming more and more of an issue as well. With larger screens it is an annoyance to continually have to reach to the top of a screen to pull down the notification shade and then tap settings in the far upper right, or when in an app to have a quarter inch of my nice 1080p HD display go missing so I can see three small dots indicating click here for Menu. I did my best to enjoy the time I had left with my trophy wife of a phone. But, upon receiving the S4 I was pleasantly surprised, I actually loved the design. It just feels good in the hand. I can honestly say at the end of the day I prefer Samsung's understated design over that of the HTC One. The build feels seamless and is light and thin. The S4 for all it's cheapness in material was a solidly built uniform device. Armed with Quick access to all of of my settings AND a Menu button I finally feel at home. I love the S4. For me it's like not having to give up the S3 I loved while gaining a boost in performance and screen.

In the end this is more of a comparative review between the HTC One and the Samsung Galaxy S4, but since that is the question most android buyers will be facing until the next great phone is announced - Here's my $.02 worth. Guess I'm officialy a fanboy now. :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] opz187:
This is my first smartphone. . ever! Ok, I have a nexus 7, but that is different. Needless to say, I'm completely in love with this s4. I was seriously considering the one, but I'm more than happy with this. Honestly, you really can't lose with either device. .
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shook187:
Cool story bro, but a lot of the stuff you described as not liking are already corrected with simple flashing of mods.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bluv4eva:
I was also a GS3 owner. I tried the HTC One also but returned it. I picked up the GS4 yesterday and I love it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ccline84:
Cooler story bro, but maybe some people want that kind of functionality out of the box?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] reverepats:
Shook, are you gonna play nice if you come over here lol? What's up buddy?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] im0rtalz:
everything you mentioned there entirely true :thumbup:

Sent from my HTC One
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] coojoe1000:
Agreed. Only issue being a store can completely refuse to even look at your HTC One if you dev unlocked it. So thats a little bit of a risk(especially since I had to return my first one after the bottom speaker stopped working) But as with any phone it will come down to each persons individual wants and needs. The S4 fits that bill better for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] aaron130:
I swear if I was gonna do a write up (because I also came from the HTC One) this would be almost EXACTLY what I would of said!!!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] SAShady:
I've always had issues with HTC devices over time. My GS2 lasted the full 2 years of my contract without feeling horribly outdated. The ONLY thing I liked about the One was the front speakers, but the GS4 overpowers it in every other category. Was a no brainer for me
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] coojoe1000:
Thanks. I was surprised no tech sites really talk about these issues. I think deep down they are all just really rooting for the underdog last ditch effort (albeit a good one) that HTC has thrown out to compete with the S4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eyecon82:
I just couldn't live with the lower contrast ratio of the htc one

I love the deep blacks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] edub186:
Is this what the issue was. My One is not rooted. Simple app for that. View attachment 1933904
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sweets55:
I really liked the HTC One but was to small for my mits. SG4 seems just right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] atman8r:
Thank God other people feel this way not just me...I had gs3 and now I have this one and I'm returning it Monday, I can't wait. Everything you said about the functionality of the HTC sense is correct to me. Anyways this is what I would have wrote, I've just become accustomed to Samsung's features after being with them for 3 years...it was nice HTC! (Not really tho...)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bluv4eva:
What's the name of that app?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] bmoreboy02:
You forget. Not everybody rootd there phones and flashes ROMs. Sometimes people on xda seem to forget we are only a very small percent of smartphone customers
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] genaro12543:
That's an OK workaround although you have to have a persistent notification in the corner and the GPS toggle isn't a toggle but a shortcut unless you put that as a system app

I love this thread because I too switched my phone from an HTC one.

I got it from HTC just had to trade in my phone (I work at a sprint store) and it really grew on me to the point where i loved it. That screen is amazing and I didn't worry about the menu bar cuz I rooted the phone anyway.

I couldn't get away from the non removable battery though. Have had pretty much every Samsung galaxy and nexus on sprint and I got used to the convenience of carrying a spare battery

So I traded it for this and I love that I feel like I never really gave away my s3. I just upgraded the hardware. This camera is just ridiculous also
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jackllll:
cool , but not everybody rootd there phones and flashes ROMs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] genaro12543:
That's been noted.
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mendo:
Hi all,

I am experiencing slow speeds over Wifi, between 1.5Mbps and 2Mbps, but as soon as I toggle the Wifi on and off, the speeds go back to normal at 15Mbps.

Then few minutes or hours later, again the speeds are dropping at less than 2Mbps.

I don't have any Wifi connectivity issues or drops, just slow speeds.

It is like the N7100 doesn't wake up properly after the deep sleep, even though the Wifi is not set to go to sleep in Settings and is set to Always On.

I even used script droid to toggle the Wifi on and off every hour, but it made no difference.

My old trusted N7000 doesn't have this problem at all and it is connected to the same Linksys router running Tomato.

I am on stock ROM 4.1.2 2013N7100XXDMC3 N7100OXXDMC2 -*Poland pre rooted.

Any ideas?

Regards

Many users are experiencing the same as you do. It's a fw bug, since it wasn't there on 4.1.1

Hopefully, Sammy will adress it in an upcoming update.

Djlucas1983; will your tip drain the battery hard..?

Update: well, turning off psm will definitely be a battery drain of biblical proportions, since the screen won't turn off....

Perhaps it's just on my GN2, but for me the tip obviously is no good. Thanx anyway...
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mendo:
Interesting, I found the settings and turned the Wifi PSM to OFF.

The setting is turning back to ON after a reboot but is not a big deal.

I'll report back about the speeds and battery life.

I didn't have any problems with the screen mentioned above.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mendo:
It looks like it made no difference turning the Wifi PSM to OFF.

The Wifi speeds are back to under 2Mbps once the phone goes to sleep.

As soon as I toggle the Wifi off and on the speeds are back to normal.

wait & see what month Sammy decides to grace us with a new FW...

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] djlukas1983:
But it seems it works for me, after turning phone to sleep and wake it up, network speed is a little over 30Mbps.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sygys:
Im having the exact same problem. it also occurs on the galaxy S3 and the note 10.1 by the way. and it doesnt seem to make a difference with other routers because i tried 3 different once from 3 different brands all the same.

I think it has something to do with switching between 3G and wifi in deep sleep mode or something. Because i think i only get the problem when getting home and my note 2 is recconected to the wifi while in sleep mode. switching it off and on again Always fixes the problem. and after that it keeps getting the speed for as long as im connected to the wifi.

i havent really tested it though... but when i think back of the times i got problems is Always after getting back home and then use the wifi.

Its a strange bug. cant recall when i got it the first time.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wii89:
Right, so here is the deal:

My friend came to me today with his HTC Evo 4G. Idiotic me heard HTC Evo 4G LTE. This was the first time I tried to root any HTC device. Here is what I did:

Got the HTC Drivers.

Got Fastboot/ADB

Got Evo_4G_LTE_All-In-One_Kit_v2.0

Tried to root it.

Got an error. Forgot what is was, I can check tommorow though.

Unlocked through HTC Dev.

Tried to root again. Got the same error.

Repeat above one more times.

Logmeind to his computer, had him plugin in his phone in fastboot.

Tried to root again.

Tried to relock the bootloader.

Unlocked the bootloader.\

Realized I was using LTE tools the whole time.

Tried using the normal EVO 4G tools.

Tried using a RUU.

RUU failed.

RUU Did something (Rebooted to a screen saying "RUU" -Friend)

RUU kept crashing.

That is all.

I can get more info tomorrow. The device will no longer start up though, it gets to the HTC screen, but that is all.

[HTC One S] Camboozle:
Hi all,

Again I've searched everywhere and can't find this so I must post my second in 1.5 years of lurking.

I'm usually good at breaking in to my phones but turns out I know only enough to be dangerous. I think the backup.ab file is my last option before I give up on this phone. Basically I can't re-unlock the bootloader due to an error 150 after making a mess of my phone and supercid (returned to stock values) etc. I'm hoping a full restore will help me pass the bootloader unlock however I didn't learn about it until recent so don't have one. Something is different about the RUU's maybe or possibly htcdev doesn't give out more than one unlock code.

Feel free to help if you can by offering a link to an s4 backup.ab file, another way to unlock without htcdev, or using this code...

[HTC One S] alexskin:
i've got the same problem mate, error 150, this happened after downgrading the bootloader, the phone works great, butt i can't unlock it. all the ruu's that i installed finished well butt didn't repaired what ever happened to the phone
[HTC One S] rustykwak:
look through you email archive for the original mail from htcdev & re-download the unlock_code!
[HTC One S] alexskin:
it does not work, i've tried it. although i've got a few nandroids and revoverys from when i has unlocked, and i might have one prior to unlocking, i don't know if it could help
[HTC One S] rustykwak:
you have the original unlock_code? if so keep trying I have heard a few people had to try it several times before the unlock worked!
[HTC One S] alexskin:
i't won't work since the token is based on the old cid, witch was from spain orange, and know i have the free spain cid
[HTC One S] Camboozle:
I'm in the same boat. I have the original unlock code as I thought it would always work but my token has changed 2 times noticeably in the last week so I don't think it will work. Also I have a full backup so have my original boot and recovery but can't write them. That's why I asked about the backup.adb file since I thought maybe it will bypass security and bring me back to stock and perhaps original token.
[HTC One S] cicciocant:
How can you obtaain a backup.adb?
[HTC One S] Camboozle:
That's what I'd like to know but you can make your own prior to unlocking and rooting or whatever you do with adb backup command and follow directions on your phone. It was pretty quick and painless with my new android phone. Do a search and you'll see more info on the subject.
[Oppo Find 5] hoangtu2410:
I got this link from a friend, installed it and now testing it

For anyone have no idea about firefly :

How to install :

From recovery like every rom

Problem :

The rom run with Chinese language, you need to go to setting and change it

You need download gapps for android JB 4.1 and flash it because this rom doesn't have Play Store

I'm currenty can not sync contact from my gmail account, have no idea only me or everybody , need more testers
[Oppo Find 5] Aerys:
Notice that this is still a very early build!

Did you get permission from OPPO to post this publicly? This is a private beta and my guess is if OPPO wanted it posted publicly they would have done so on their own forums.

I think oppo want test it.. You don't sign any confidentiality agreement i think.. So....

I test this rom and don't like me.. I prefer original rom instead, and Cm10.1 will be my rom in a future when it's stable, it's in all languages, camera have more options, rom it's best organized, best web browser, draws less battery, ............................. I said it's in all languages????

Firefly... Very "pretty", but very useless, and 4.1.2 and not 4.2.2?? WTF!
