Okay I can't take it anymore. I need a smaller DPI. It's driving me nuts. Do I just download the	XposedInstaller_2.1.4.apk and install it and then change the DPI settings via Rom Toolbox ? How do you make the app to stay 480 DPI for those that are not compatible like dialer and such ? Can I replace the apk from the ones on this thread ?

It froze at the "App installed" message and I rebooted it. Now when I press install there is no feedback. I've tried clearing the dalvik cache, no luck.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blagginspaziyonokip:
Well, I solved it. It was the screen filter. I wonder how it affected the installation so much?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
i doubt they will give me the 10% on my 30$ plan lol but good to know

ill pass the info along to my friends
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Masonfield:
So does the 10% savings work with prepaid plans?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] patsummz88:
I don't think it works with pre-paid plans. I think it works on the new simple choice value plans though
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Masonfield:
Ah....that sucks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] EtherealRemnant:
That's a student offer... I don't believe you will be able to get it through T-Mobile unless you are a student but you can try.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kolyan:
yep, thats what i was told.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] patsummz88:
I did little more research to clarify my original post. The offer is not technically a "student" offer. It is an offer for Student Rate members.All you have to do is sign up for the site. You don't need a .edu email to sign up anyone can
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kolyan:
Which site, Tmobile.com ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RMXO:
StudentRate.com
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] kolyan:
So did any existing customers actually try to get this ?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] KyleK29:
I did this when I transferred from Sprint. It works. Btw, they were recently doing a $50 visa card if you transfer your number from another provider. Might be worth seeing if you can get into that as well, it's a mail in rebate.

You *do* have to call in. And btw, call in the morning/noonish time. After about 4-5pm PST, I think they switch call centers over to another country (one of the day CSR's told me this). I ran in circles with those people, at one point they tried to charge me an ETF for transfering TO them (from Sprint) *boggle*. Took about one hour to get my transfer put into processing. With another phone line, I called during the day and it was put into motion within 5 minutes. Same process, different call centers.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] -Pagan-:
I did it entirely online. I didn't call in. All discounts reflected properly. It worked like a charm. I also confirmed via online CSR I was getting the $50.00 prepaid Visa card for porting.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LFrank342:
I called to ask a couple of questions and CSR was very helpful. This is via the Tmobile advantage program which you qualify for by being a member of the discount site. I think I am going to transfer from my current carrier and sign up over the phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nxneko:
Everytime I bring up TMO Advantage program in livechat CSR starts flat out ignoring me

"M*** T: Hi Lily!

M*** T: We appreciate you contacting us about your discount. My pleasure to assist you in checking your eligibility. I am currently pulling up your account.

...45 minutes later, no reply. Same for every agent. wasted like 4 hours TRYING to even ASK a tmobile agent about it, after the "happy to assist bit..." no reply EVER.

J*** S: Hi Lily, I understand this concerns the advantage program, and I will be happy to assist you the best way I can.

30 minutes, no reply.

I literally just signed up so Ive been trying to ask them about the possibility to apply it to my account but if they wont even say anything how can I?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] IBFaboo:
Thanks for the info, going to be saving 12 dollars a month!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RMXO:
Why not just talk to them over the phone instead of subjecting yourself to this?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nxneko:
I was in dual service due to just porting my number...Didnt want to use phone as it was late to begin with aswell.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] RMXO:
ah, ok, best of luck to you. From what you said, that is some serious BS CS from them & very disappointing to hear.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nxneko:
I decided to try again around noon est yesterday, they had me submit a corporate form with StudentRates name, and my member ID. So they just added the discount~
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] pushingpsi:
Just wanted to let everyone know if that coupon code doesn't work, I signed up with the Free Lancers Union and members get 10% discount on monthly service and activation waived. Its free to join and it took all of 2 minutes to sign up. I also switched from Sprint and I'm in the process of getting $50 for each line I ported over.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MntClmr:
If I am porting over 3 lines, is it the same process?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] patsummz88:
As mentioned earlier in this thread the discount is valid on family plans. It would be the same process - call CS give them the affiliation to the SR site, the promo code and port all your lines. Make sure you check if you qualify for a credit from T-Mo because you're porting your phone number, i know they were running a promo like that last month
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MntClmr:
I might wait for father's day they had a good promotion last year if I recall
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] androidskillz:
Hopefully the s4 will be 99 down on fathers day

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] androidskillz:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] brokenchains:
If I can get them to sell me one straight up while this Father's Day promo is running, what are the odds I can pinch it for that $579 price? :)

Also, and I'll search here in a second, does this discount apply to the $30 prepaid plan (100 min, unlim. data/text)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mnazary:
Think if I go to the store they will credit me $50 since I bought it less than 30 days ago?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] androidskillz:
Probably not. I wonder if the sale is just today or the whole week
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SlimJ87D:
Your credit card might depending if you have a premium one or not.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mnazary:
Man, remembered I bought it on a Visa Signature but unfortunately it doesn't appear it offers price protection. But it does cover loss/theft for first 90 days!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bwg2469:
I tried customer service and the store. It was a no go because all prices are "promo" and subject to change. I can dispute it with my amex but I might lose my phone number. Not worth the trouble as I see it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] androidskillz:
Sorry man, being patient pays off
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tricksie:
I appreciate the option to just call and talk to a Verizon rep...so much easier than trying to figure it out online myself. Thanks OP!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matrixmainframe:
I would love to try the Liquidsmooth [ROM][AOSP][4.1.2]LiquidSmooth-JellyBean v2.0 RC5[10/11/12] custom ROM but I have flashed it to my Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 three times now but each time I am unable to save an APN.

I can click on add new APN and can fill in all the details like Name / APN / Username / Password / Server / MMSC / MMS Proxy / MMS port / MCC / MNC and APN Type but when ~I click on Menu and SAVE it just disappears.

My IMEI number is there in SETTINGS and I tell you that because in some forums people seem to think that may be an issue but I'm sure it is not because I have been running a rooted phone for a couple of years now with no APN problems.

Is there a problem with Liquidsmooth and the I9300? Can they never work together? Does anyone know how I can solve this problem?

Thanks

Is it the same if you restore the apn using one of the apn backup utilities on play?

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karim-ps:
Hi everyone

I got a defy+ two weeks ago and it was fine until a few days, it completely lost it, it keeps connecting to either car dock or dock media station all by it self, installed various roms, returned to stock 2.3.6 no way it just got mad, the screen keeps glowing even when nobody touches it, now even the phone's speaker (not the loud speaker) doesn't work in calls anymore, it thinks that the headphones are connected, and also the music doesn't get through the loud speaker, im just fed up, I have downloaded several apps to prevent the phone from entering dock mode with no success, as its a hardware problem. its the magnetic field sensor that went mad, I have no choice but to open the handset and give the sensor IC some heat (I'm very skillful in such things), whats your opinion guys? Does anybody have a picture of the motherboard to appoint me to the sensor IC please?

Please reply as its the only phone I currently own :crying: and in such country there is no warranty no matter what :(
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karim-ps:
I solved the problem by applying heat to the AKM ak8973 magnetic field sensor IC using a a high precision heat gun and a bit of soldering past and the phone seems to operate flawlessly now. after searching a little bit it seems that a wide range of Android based Motorola phones suffer from the same problem including Atrix and Razr so this may be the solution, I have attached an image showing the AKM chip that needs to be heated up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ThreeLeaf:
Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this. I get a distinct blue pixel while charging the phone as well as during startup (blue pixel on black background). It will also give a little blue dot when I wake the phone up sometimes, always on a black background

Initially I thought it might be a stuck pixel, but when I ran a dead pixel test the black background showed clear, as were all the other backgrounds. So it almost makes me think its a software thing. Just wanted to know if you folks have noticed this, fyi I see the pixel in the top right quarter of the screen.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jmoak:
I have not seen anything like this on my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] WhiskeyHero:
After a closer inspection turns out I do infact have a stuck blue pixel(led). Tmobs is going to overnight me another phone though so all is good. Just have to send back my current one once I get the new one.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] Luisit0:
So after some ultra heavy usage yesturday I found myself for the first time witnessing less than 10% battery on my Maxx, so I plugged it to charge as normal, around 12 ish mid night... An hour in, 1 something am, I was tired and decided to go to sleep and, as I checked on the razr, it displayed 24% charge... I wondered why it was charging so slowly, but decided to leave it charging overnight and thought it might help... As I woke up at 7:30 am, I notice it has 30% battery charge and it said it was "Charging"... As I went to settings > battery, it showed a straight horizontal green line, as if the phone was in deepsleep... It recognized it was charging, but it didn't go past 30%!!!!!! I was scared the hell off, so I removed the SIM card and put it on my back up phone (I needed the phone at the moment) and let it charge for another hour turned off before I had to go... This time, however, it did charge...thankfully... It was at 57% so I took it to school and kept charging it... Right now, its at 83%, so I guess its charging as it should (though slow as f**k)... Any ideas as to why this happened and how I can prevent it in the future?? And also as to why its now charging so slowly?? I just got this phone 2 days ago and it charged perfectly those 2 days.... Thanks in advanced!
[Motorola Droid RAZR] spcagigas:
I've had this happen a couple of times. Install "Better Battery Stats" (here's the Play Store Link), which will help you see if there are any apps causing unexpected wakelocks. If you see any, uninstall or disable the app and see if your battery starts charging normally again.

Another d'oh thing to check is making sure your charger is working OK, and you don't have a case that's preventing you from completely plugging your phone in (I did that before, too...).

Saludos,

Thanks for ur reply, Im gonna download the app now! Also, I'm using an HTC wall charger (for my old Evo 4G) because the phone was sold to me without any accessories or anthing. I'll look up on buying an OEM Motorola charger too. You wouldnt happen to know where I can get one without it costing me a fortune (fortune = apple prices lol), would you?? Thanks again for ur help!

EDIT: Would it be wise to purchase this charger?

The seller says its OEM... Also, I checked other sites like Amazon and that's about what they're selling for ($5 - $12).

Engadget: LG Optimus G Pro coming to AT&T on May 10th

Not only does it have a removable battery and SD card slot (same as the Galaxy S4)... but it also has:

- IPS LCD display for better sunlight visibility than AMOLED

- 32 gb of internal memory

standard

for the lowest model

- A programmable "q button" that allows you to map any function you want to have happen when you press it

And of course all the basics of a high end superphone nowadays

- 5.5 inch 1080p display

- 3140 mAh battery

- Snapdragon 600

- 13 mp camera

- IR Blaster

- 2gb RAM

- LTE

Here's a video I found from ATT : [YOUTUBE]ZBwLc53ZT5U[/YOUTUBE]

#%&! ... I'm not sure which one to order now :(
[Galaxy S 4 General] paddylaz:
Techradar did a feature on it and found it to be a bit of a tacky version of the note.

Concerning IPS, I much prefer amoled now that it's avialable with more accurate colours. Before, IPS had the advantage but now the colour accuracy on the galaxies (e.g.movie mode) is good enough. Combine that with the beautifully inky blacks, and I never want another IPS display again. (except the one on my macbook :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] hung2900:
Except the rip off design and the lack of Spen on that big screen, anything on Optimus G Pro is great.

______________

Edit: Oh, I forgot about the horrible update from LG
[Galaxy S 4 General] tuxonhtc:
Personally, I won't go anywhere near LG devices unless it's Nexus to be honest. And it's a competitor to Note II (or rather Note III) than S4.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ap3604:
I personally don't care what someone says its a competitor for.

With those specs it's simply a competitor for best phone of early 2013, which is what I care about.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tuxonhtc:
Jesus Christ it's a 5.5'' phone, hence it's a competitor for the "phablet" (hate the term, but whatever) category rather than ordinary smartphone. Hence my comment.
[Galaxy S 4 General] ap3604:
Jesus Christ all flagship phone screens are starting to be at least 5+ inches anyways, hence every smartphone is turning into a "phablet" (I hate the term too). So no, it simply is competing with all the other giants of 2013... including the Galaxy S 4.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tuxonhtc:
Not really. they have 5.5'' screen and the flagships are </=5 inch. Big difference. The target audiences are different. Anywho, whatever.
[Galaxy S 4 General] gee2012:
LG is mostly known to be great regarding its swift updating policy :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] ap3604:
I see what you did there... ;)

As for the android version, it comes with 4.1.2 and while I'm sure both Samsung and LG are going to make it a point to try and update handsets to the latest android versions... I really don't care as that's the whole reason I come on xda anyways (so I don't have to rely on the manufacturer for updates) :p
[Galaxy S 4 General] fade2green514:
i'll be sticking with the s4.

thinner, lighter, still an enourmous battery. dont need all that size in the screen.. although the LCD would be an upgrade if u ask me. AMOLED is nice, but i prefer the brightness for sun viewing.
[Galaxy S 4 General] burhanistan:
Don't get neurotic about having the absolute "best" phone, ferchrissakes. Guess what? That bling new piece of latest and greatest shiny you just plunked down your cash for? It's always going to be second best in a few months. Use your device and enjoy it, and maybe learn to not give a rat's ass if it isn't the absolute newest on your block.
[Galaxy S 4 General] paddylaz:
Agreed.

I'd actually go one further and say the tell-tale sign that you're 'with' the right device is that you're NOT that desperate to upgrade as soon as something new comes out. During my iphone-phase I was always excited when the new model came out - I know now it was partly due to the marketing and partly because I was never completely happy with them.

Even when better phones than the gs3 were coming out I was happy sticking with it until an upgrade that REALLY appealed to me came along (s4).
[Galaxy S 4 General] ap3604:
I have a preference for LCD over AMOLED as well (although both can be great). The outdoor visibility is a big deal for me so I'm not sure which one to get :confused:

Also the 32 gb of internal memory on the standard lowest $199 w/ 2-yr contract model isn't too shabby ;)

I have an upgrade coming up so of course I'm going to chose the best phone for me at the time.

1) Removable battery

2) Outdoor screen visibility

Those are the top 2 features I'm looking for in my next phone and I'm not sure which phone to go with yet (LG Optimus Pro or Galaxy S4).
[Galaxy S 4 General] jejb:
I agree. It's so cool that Samsung was able to push the max screen size to 5" in basically the same package as the SIII. But the jump to a 5.5" screen is a big overall package jump. To me, that's just no longer a phone, but falls firmly in the phablet market.

Not putting down the phone, or what features are important to individual buyers. But it's not in the same place in the market as an S3/S4, HTC One is, IMO.
[Galaxy S 4 General] GTRagnarok:
The Optimus G Pro is competition for the Note series, not the S series.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tuxonhtc:
What makes you think that Optimus G Pro has better outdoor visibility? S4 has great outdoor visibility from what I gather. And even Note II scores better than G Pro when it comes to outdoor visibility. Although Note II isn't bad when it comes to outdoor visibility, S4 kicks Note II up the butt and is just marginally worse than the One. Brightness is not the only thing that's a decisive factor in outdoor visibility.

Here's the outdoor visibility chart:

http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_s4-review-914p3.php
[Galaxy S 4 General] Blackwolf10:
competing by the specs yes

by the sales heck no

by the updates ultimate no
[Galaxy S 4 General] tuxonhtc:
Again, brightness is ONE of the factors that helps in outdoor visibility. AMOLEDs have higher contrast ratios, so despite much lower brightness, it can still have good sunlight visibility. Not HTC One good obviously, but still good.
[Galaxy S 4 General] fade2green514:
well this is good news, i'll have to take a look at it when i get it. DAMN SUN! lol

oh and +1 thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 General] rushless:
No monster at Verizon. Just a bunch of suck as far as new releases. Even the S4 may only see the 9/16gb version.
[Galaxy S 4 General] seh6183:
The difference between a 5 inch screen and a 5.5 inch screen is significant. They are two categories of phones. 5 inch and below is COMFORTABLY used with one hand. 5.5 and above is next to unusable with one hand.

Different categories.
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
The Optimus G Pro is definitely a titan, and it's the only phone other than the GS4 I was interested in. Big battery, basic hardware customization like the GS4, and a large screen. Ultimately going with the S4 though for the extra sensors, features, Mobeam, and better RAM/processor.
[Galaxy S 4 General] skrapi:
Indeed this man speaks the truth
[Galaxy S 4 General] jejb:
It really does. One of the biggest reasons I upgraded was for the daytime camera in the S4. I take a lot of pictures so it's a very important function to me. So I've been going around taking a lot of pictures to test the camera out, and a lot of them in direct sunlight. Even without my reading glasses, which are pretty strong unfortunately, I was easily able to see the screen and take pictures, navigate around, etc. I'm very happy with the direct sunlight viewability (and the camera!). And that was in Auto brigthness mode, as that gets you the brightest screen when outdoors. Brighter than you can dial in manually, odd as that seems.
[Galaxy S 4 General] tkacer:
TRU DAT! Bigger not necessarily better
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
Is this why att hasn't brought out 32gb s4--if they don't soon they will stifle the s4 sales imho

don't know much about lg except they made nexus 4, a great phone

but 32gb internal is tempting if no s4 one appears

plus homekey ring has programable notification colors--i believe
[Galaxy S 4 General] tft:
if you're interested in this you might as well wait for the note 3..
[Galaxy S 4 General] ap3604:
Galaxy Note 3 on U.S. carriers is

over half a year away

from now (November). Which is a lifetime in electronics.

That's like telling someone "oh just wait for the Galaxy S 5" like its not that big a deal. You could spend your whole life waiting for the next best thing while good options like the Optimus G Pro and the Galaxy S 4 pass you by.
