[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Root:
Rooting is just finding a mistake in the code so you can force your own code in, if I understand it right. It's like and arms race. You'd have to be a perfect coder to block any exploit from ever happening. Your software would have to be unable to be confused and I'd be scared of that software.

Anh chance photosphere in that same said rom k0nane
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] zombicidal maniac:
I've been reading about that and was about to cancel my order when it already shipped. Is that the kernel that is going to be released in an update soon or is that already live? I can't leave a phone (or anything for that matter) stock. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k0nane:
Like I said in the other thread, much ado about absolutely nothing. The T-Mo S4 has an unlocked bootloader. As it is, you can flash any of the three recoveries available and trivially drop in a custom kernel (when one is released and should it ever become needed). ROMs that already include custom (or even existing stock) kernels will replace such things.

I would suggest reading the last couple pages of the thread.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] xxhorseriderxxx:
The carrier label on the lockscreen, status bar (I think it's there like AT&T firmware? I don't have my phone yet), and notifications. I want it gone, I don't want to see any carrier names anywhere.

I want the ability to toggle 4G with a status bar toggle.

I want a completely de-bloated firmware with no signs of carrier software and/or origination, especially CarrierIQ.

like this

settings>>more networks>>wifi calling !!!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SF Steven:
Sorry I wasn't clear, I'm not trying to turn wifi calling back on, I'm trying to restore the notification...wifi calling is already on but the notification icon is gone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thachosenone:
The Black statusbar when using anything other than stock wallpapers.

No mobile data or torch toggle.

That's it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kanyewest:
if its on (properly), the blue wifi calling icon shows up in the status bar... make sure underneath wifi calling in the settings menu it says Ready for calls... if it says cellular network prefered, tap wifi calling>>connection preferences >>wi-fi preferred or never use cellular network.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SF Steven:
Here's what I'm talking about:

I followed the instructions above to remove the wifi calling icon from the notification bar; now I want it back. I already have wifi calling enabled and it works fine, I just want the icon to be re-enabled.

Sorry this seems like the question that won't die.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] f2bacon:
You were right on everything besides the fully charger notification. That killed the sound, but I don't want a notification, or the screen to turn on.

Would I be looking to rename "chargingwarning.qmg" in the system/media file?

I think we're all just anxious for a stable cyanogenmod.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] JimmyTheShovel:
Unfortunately I have no idea how to turn off the screen-wake upon completion, I've never even thought of changing that, I don't mind the sound and notification but my girlfriend gets irritated by the noise it makes so I disable it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kanyewest:
Ok... so why dont u just go back into wifi calling app info and click on the show notification boclx u unclicked.

Peeve: While using Play Music with headphones (it might be in general but I haven't tested other than with headphones), if you use a custom equalizer, it won't stick. After the screen goes off for a bit, it reverts back to stock, or no equalizer.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SF Steven:
:(

that didn't work; i can SEE the checkbox but it won't let me check it.

<sigh> oh, well, i'm sure it'll reset when i factory wipe to install a custom ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] k0nane:
I could find it, and I'm sure the ROM devs who will be putting out their fine items will be able to as well. It's been around since the GS1 days.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] weddywie:
I'm not sure if it will be the same with the gs3 but this is what I do to bring the wifi calling notification back in my gs3. Go to settings, application manager, all, wifi calling settings then click the box that says show notification underneath force stop and make sure your wifi is on.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] forgot2wipe:
Go to Application Manager then IPservice. Turn on the notifications there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SF Steven:
dude, that WORKED! Thank you!

Ever since I turned off the notification, it's been driving me crazy that I couldn't turn it back on.

:good:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] haitiankid4lyf:
I second this, this is especially annoying when you're using it in your car
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WatermelonSlim:
I haven't read through everything yet so my apologies if this has already been posted.

I hate how the watch on app keeps running in the background. It's nice to use it here and there, but do we really need the icon in the notifications to be there at all times? And do we really need the big watch on section that expands when you slide the tray down?

I'd also like to be able to add more panels to the launcher. The most I can get is 7. Might have to install another launcher for this so it'd be cool if I could uninstall the stock launcher and save the space.

I hate how the delete button is right next to the call button on text messages. I keep hitting the call button with my fat fingers when I'm trying to delete a text.

My fat fingers also tend to hit whatever is on the bottom of the screen when I try to hit the "back" button. It'd be cool if it would default to "back" a little more when I hit both (whatever is on the bottom right of the screen, usually an ad, and the "back" button) at the same time. Right now it often defaults to whatever is on the screen. So when my fat finger his both at the same time, I often end up opening an ad.

I keep getting extra spaces after commas and periods when swyping with the stock keyboard. This is probably just me not being used to this keyboard yet.

That's all I can think of right now. All in all the stock ROM isn't too bad. No real major complaints, just a few things that could be improved.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Toastalator:
Oh god where do I start!

-the browser forces new tabs to open on top and not in background

-the way the browser throws all the settings into the top menu level

-the lock screen widgets won't go away despite turning them off in settings

-the carrier label at the bottom of the lock screen

-that the lock screen shows me how to unlock it every time I wake it

-the settings menu is just a huge cluster****, four tabs really?

-the non transparent notification bar

-no data toggle on pull down

-the way the gallery is designed with one huge image and the rest small

-no way to organize the images in the gallery

-the keyboard notification that come on every time the keyboard is open

I honestly wish I had my S2 back at this point because right now the S4 is a huge disappointment.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WatermelonSlim:
I forgot to mention the alarm won't sound when you're on a call. This almost made me late returning from lunch at work, lol.

Also, is there a way to adjust the alarm and notification volumes independently? I like my phone on vibrate or silent when at work, but I still want my alarms to be loud.

The gallery is kind of a mess. If you try to set a picture as your wallpaper from settings, it doesn't let you see the full picture. It only shows you the gallery thumbnail, with large parts cut out. If you tap a picture, it then shows you the full picture, but you don't have any way to get back to the gallery. So you better hope you guessed correctly and that was the picture you were looking for, because if you hit "back" it takes you all the way to your home screen. Also, if you try to crop a picture it will zoom way too far in by default. I select crop and the next thing I know I'm automatically zoomed in so far that all I can see are the eyes.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BobbyHill:
I hate the stupid Samsung group of bookmarks in the browser. WTF are they putting bookmarks in there that I can't delete? And that group always seems to end up opened, and the ones I want are closed. Grrrrr.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WatermelonSlim:
One more thing I don't like, sometimes on my Facebook feed I'll open a picture and it shrinks down to a postage stamp size or smaller. I try to "unpinch" it to make it bigger, but it doesn't work. The picture is big when it's on my main Facebook feed, but when I open that picture up it's a postage stamp and won't get any bigger.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hurrpancakes:
I wish they enabled the little hand wave thing in the controls for their music player. It would make it nice to just wave my hand over it while it's in my car dock to switch to the next song.

They have voice control enabled for the music player, but while I had my phone connected to my cars bluetooth system, it would think that the music was saying commands such as pause, previous, etc. Pretty annoying.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lizzluv1:
Yep...

-No Mobile data toggle in status bar (WTF Tmobile -_-)

-No flash compatibility on stock browser, (Guess that is Samsung's fault but had to mention it as it is frustrating)

-Loud Music Warning (UGH)

-Also annoyed by recommended audio apps.

But overall I am quite satisfied. My issues should hopefully be fixed with further development (Hopefully ^-^)

---------- Post added at 04:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:42 AM ----------

They do have air gestures for music though. You just have to enable it. I'm not sure if it's available on car mode though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hurrpancakes:
You're right, I was just missing it as it's under Air Browse
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] coyttl:
I only have a couple -

- The loud music notification. What. The Hell. This has been mentioned, but it annoys me so much I must bring it up again.

- No 'Quiet Hours' (CM10.1 has this) under 'Sound'.

- The annoying 'Ongoing' and 'Notifications' headings on the notification bar. How much room must we waste?

- The home button waking the friggin' phone! If this is configurable, please let me know where, I couldn't find it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] STrooperTK421:
The god-awful bloat. 7 Gigs used by the system and only 9 available on the 16GB model. Using the SD-Card is useless unless you are pushing pics and vids to it. I discovered that if you have one of the cheap slow SD-Cards, don't let the camera / video camera use it directly. Let it use the internal memory then move that stuff to the SD-Card. The other thing I have discovered is that when the handset is charging, it tends to get hot, using heavy apps (games, etc) during this time AND having the screen brightness turned all the way up will trigger the phone to start dimming the display automatically to prevent overheating.

Animation

So far the only thing I am bothered by is the lack of option to turn off the animation like in the Note 2 and the GS3. There's no developers options like in 4.1.2. Is this Samsung or Google 4.2?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
I now know what to add to my next release. :)

And about 4g toggle, that's gonna take a lot of time to do. It requires writing your own classes and implanting them into the system. It's relatively straight forward. Just requires a lot of time. So it's on back burner.

Inability to: hide/customize toggles, turn off safe headset volume, disable the "you can change this app's default choice in settings" and a few other things I can't remember. If those three things could be "fixed" I may actually stay on TW...actually probably not since we now have the GES4 ROM lol

That is one of the reasons I froze the stock browser and started using a different one from the play store.

I wish I could just install the browser from CM 10.1 on there. That would make me a happy camper and I'd probably just go back to using the stock rom.

I pretty much hate all the Samsung bloatware. I.e. health, note, memo, all that stuff. Also, the tmobile stuff that doesn't leave the notification tray.

I'm running a international rom and everything that bothered me is gone. It's amazing with kt kernel. I've got exposed/Nottach installed to get rid of the ugly toggles and AM PM.

I ran AOSP based roms the whole time on my S3. After that much run time I've come to appreciate touchwiz. This will be my first time running anything besides AOSP based roms in years. I just love the features. After having my S4 since it was released I've come to get use to them all. Yelling to answer calls take pics and when I think of what I'll loose to try AOSP it just doesn't seem worth it. This is the beautiful thing about android. You can have whatever you want. Your not forced to run touchwiz if you prefer AOSP then pick your team and flash away! I'm head over heals in love with android and have the day the G1 was released! There's nothing even close and we have a bright future ahead of us

Foil&Film Clear Series Screen Guard for Galaxy S IV [Unboxing, Installation & Review]

Hey Guys, here is the screen guard which i have purchased for my Galaxy S IV, so here is my review of the same. It is probably one of the screen guards i have ever used. It is very comparable to high end brands like Spigen SPG. The touch responsivness and clarity is probably the best i have personally ever used. And the cutouts are all in place the price is just 12 USD from a retail out i purchased it from, so its definitely worth every penny u pay. Overall i think i would give this screen guard a 5 out of 5.

Recently my xda I began to restart itself without being used. When I put it in standby mode (power button) and after a while turn it back on, not always but at least 3-4 times a day it restarts itself.

Does someone know why is this happening and if there is a way to stop this.

P.S. - I don't know if this comes from the ROM because it has happened with different versions of ROMs.[/b]
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] ronin:
The problem with the restarts is usually caused by the SIM card cover. Sometimes if you press it it will reset. There is a contact point underneath the rubber cover and it sometimes makes contact and resets the device.

You can try pressing it to see it the device restarts and you found your culprid. You may take the sim out and reinset it to see if the contact resets or you may have to have the unit sent in for repair/replacement with your phone provider!

[General Topics] jasonpecaskie:
I bought a phone from virgin mobile canada two days ago, after one day I noticed the phone had a defect and exchanged it for another. When I opened the new phone I noticed the battery, usb, and charger were not sealed like the previous unit. I soon discovered photographs on the phone: A local man whom I recognize, photographed in the mall the phone was purchased, most likely his daughter, and some pictures of their home, dated two days before I received the phone. It's obvious the phone was returned to the store and then quickly repackaged without being properly wiped then given to me as a new exchange.

I understand stores have to make a buck, but I don't like the idea of having someones used and returned (for reasons I have yet to discover?) phone. Are they even allowed to do this, especially considering how they compromised someones personal data? I can't find anything wrong with the unit, other than a few dead pixels. I'm pretty sure I'm going back to the store with this, probably for a refund. Still, I feel like the store shouldn't get off with just an irate customer in this situation.

How would you feel if you learned a stranger was given photographs of your family and home? What would you do if you received a previously returned unit?

Hi Guys,

Is there a way by looking at the box you can tell if the galaxy s4 is a Snap Dragon or Exynos octacore version ?
