Thanks I removed 32gb card took battery out rebooted was official again out memory card back in still official
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mancuk29:
Weird problem still exists with a s4 but even worse 32gb card !

Glad you got sorted
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labrat1974:
Same problem

I had the same exact problem. When I rebooted my phone it showed an unlocked symbol under Samsung so I checked the status and it said custom. I have a 64gb card in it so after I read this thread I opened the back pulled the card, and then the battery. I then put the battery back in and rebooted the phone without the sd card in it. The phone showed the unlocked symbol again but when I checked the status it showed official. So I re installed the sd card and rebooted the phone. This time there was no unlocked symbol and when I checked the status it showed offical. Thanks for you help guys.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gloris:
is there any more permanent solution to this problem?

I have stock rom, never made any mods, even the memory card itself is samsung branded, so it seems a bit crazy that i have to keep removing the card and battery (which is probably not good for the health of either, or the phone itself) just to get the official samsung firmware to recognise that it's never been modified in any way. i've not even so much as rooted it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfsdtyry9789:
Thanx. Been bugging me for months, sometimes ok, sometimes not, Samsung tech support were useless. Because of continual media checking, with phone actually heating up! (150,000+ files, card almost full), I always unmount the card at boot time, only mounting if I need it. Custom b4 unmount, (upon remount I often get "settings isn't responding"), then rarely back to official after unmount, but usually stays custom! If I take card out then boot, obviously it's fine!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfsdtyry9789:
Wouldn't let me edit previous reply, this is more complete:

Thanx very, very much. Been bugging me for months, sometimes ok, sometimes not, couldn't see the pattern, Samsung tech support were useless. Because of continual media checking, with phone actually heating up! (150,000+ files, card almost full), I was always unmounting the card after boot, only mounting if I needed it. Device status was custom b4 unmount, (upon remount I often get "settings isn't responding" and/or "unfortunately, settings has stopped"), and stays custom!

Solution after your info above and my experimentation: Boot with card out, after completely booted insert the card, stays official, and then unmounting/mounting/unmounting still stays official! Rebooting with card in causes custom, so I'll just be going into flight mode at night from now on!

BTW, I regularly get this when I remove and check card, clean when I run it a 2nd time:

I have right now O2 English version, install in my XDA II.

I want to get rid of this O2 ROM and install the regular ROM (English or French what ever)

I can not ?

When I try to flash the XDA II, a message "error Country code......." come up and I can not continue the flash?

I know that O2 was made for UK and Germany only, but can I change it back?

Thank you for the help yu can provide

not sure if anyone even noticed but it was annoying to me

Couple of days ago i noticed that there is alot of dirt accumulating between the screen and the panel .. (that small little line gap)

i tried using pointy needles but it just went in further ..

finally it struck me ..paper !! just took a paper and used it shark edge to clear the bits of stuff that was clogged in it :D :p

hope this is a good tip . lol :silly:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] -Falco:
All the reviews I see of the S-view say it is bad, when actually they are reviewing it before it has had a chance to be broken in. When broken in it closes completely, and it doesn't leave marks on the screen when you use a screen protector. I would recommend getting a cheap knock of and see if you like the feel before getting the real one.

I just grabbed an official one for $36 on ebay that ships from the United States.

I'm pretty excited for it and will not post a review until I let it settle in. I also plan on using it only for when I work or travel. When I'm at home, I'll replace it back to the stock cover.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gjokic:

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] reTARDIS:
On a lot of the straight from China sites they have S-View looking cases that look identical to the real ones for around $5. Just don't want to wait the month or more to get it :(
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mjs2011:
That's why I grabbed this one immediately since it ships from the USA.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] whytechapel_x:
What are your guys opinions on using this with an additional case? Is it even possible and too much? lol
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MMakoto:
It says it's an aftermarket product, meaning knock off, and it's $36. Too pricey. Amazon currently has it for under $50, I'd pay the extra for the real one
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] mjs2011:
If it works and looks like the original, I'm happy to save $15.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] theraker007:
i couldnt stand taking pictures with this case on so i just returned it
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Southern_mind:
The $35 one is fake. The number 4 is wrong they used roman numerals, the real uses just 4.

This one looks more like the real one and cheaper Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281102072267
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] MMakoto:
I checked it out and fitted the white one today at bestbuy, but just couldn't justify spending $40+tax (after pricematch and $10 credit) on a plastic case, maybe if it was leather. I take pics of my toddler a lot, so this case is just not right for me.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] cellfreak:
I picked up an S-View case when I bought my S4. I do like how it helps to steady the phone when taking pictures or watching my Slingplayer. I use it as a sort of mono pod in my hands. It does remove finger prints on the glass with tge felt lined inside.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Gibbs:
I really like the s view option, but I'm not thrilled with any of the cases out there yet. I would like one that properly protects the corners of the phone, and that stay closed if the phone is dropped. So far none of them have those features. I have an s view case (the tridea brand, from amazon) that I'll use until something better comes along.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Lolento:
Does it block camera function when flipped all the way over?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Gibbs:
No, it doesn't. The s view window is over the camera when flipped all of the way over. However, the window can pick up fingerprints, so that's something to be aware of when taking pictures. This hasn't been a problem for me so far, but I've seen posts by others who are concerned about it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] soraxd:
the s cover .. i have one.. its really uhh.. useless? i mean having that screen does nothing.. if you want to see something you still need to pick up your phone and unlock it..

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] reTARDIS:
I'll caution against any cases on eBay with the metal like that for being held in place with a magnet.

I ordered 2 very similar to that design for my wife and I and the metal on the inside of the cover go over the glass and I cannot see how it would not scratch your glass after prolonged use in a pocket.

Returning the ones I got and sticking with my Platinum Series with Kickstand from Best Buy I bought last week. Best case by far I've used on my S4. Of course if you want a S-View like flap, this won't be of interest, but it's really just a great case both fit and form wise.

So I transferred a bunch of music to the SD card in a folder named Music. Same with some movies in mkv format. When I go to access those folders in the phone with ES file explorer, the folders are showing blank with nothing in it, but if I plug the phone into the computer, they show up in file explorer.

I'm coming from a HTC Evo 3d so there is a little learning curve.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wotandsdwys:
According to my dash clock widget and my toasted face, my battery reaches some super high temps. Just hit 131° F. Which has prompted me to post this since this is the hottest I have seen or felt.

Does this usually point to a battery issue, I know the galaxy s2 I had was prone to battery issues. Or possible hardware issue?

Thanks everyone for your thoughts!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wotandsdwys:
Yup. As soon as I plug in the charger it goes up to about 104°. After 30 secs or so of use, its above 120° and stops charging due to overheating. This has just started happening as of late. Happens on both my stock and extended batteries.

Any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tritonesub:
Some ROMs run very hot for some reason. Are you on Carbon? It seems to be the king of white-hot temperatures. Under clocking and undervolting should ease the heat a little bit, but I'm not sure what else you can do.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
Bought my GS4 yesturday, this morning around 10am i got an OTA that was about 28mb. Not sure what that OTA did because i cant find any change log anywhere or anybody else talking about it...does anybody know anything?

Build Number is JDQ39.I337MVLUAMDL

On Rogers in Canada
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] geoldr:
You should probably have put down Rogers on the thread title. I didn't receive anything but I am no AT&T. But one more thing, I was talking in this other thread with the Canadian carrier guys. Is your Contacts and phone app white or black / blue?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MattMJB0188:
Even though I'm on AT&T, I am happy for Rogers customers. Can anyone elaborate on what this update does? Hopefully it addresses the lag?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
On US AT&T and no OTA. I wouldn't download any OTA's though just in-case they address the hacked bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] David Dee:
[MENTION=4477564]geoldr[/MENTION]: The OTA was launched by Samsung globally.

Good to see you again P-Pat! I got the notification, but rooted before installing in case there was patch to stop root. After I tried to install and it said my phone has been modified and updates are not available. I am now searching to figure out how to install this....

For news on the update, see here: http://gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/news/samsung-galaxy-s4-receives-first-software-update-362298
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] geoldr:
I'm a bit confused at this. Even if Samsung releases an update, we won't get it instantly because the carriers have to test it out and everything right? Hasn't this always been the case or am I missing something?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] David Dee:
From what I have read, so far it has been launched on Sprint, Rogers and the international version. I am sure AT&T will come soon. Samsung launches the updates, but the carriers distribute them...that is why Android version updates have different timing for different carriers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] geoldr:
I see. Now just to find out what this update does.

For now I will be staying away from it. I don't want anything locking up the chance of unlocking the bootloader.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
This! I just rooted my phone this morning finally and froze the AT&T Software Update and FWUpdater. Should protect me from the OTA when it comes over to AT&T correct?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] geoldr:
Yeah. I dont think the firmware installs without the user accepting it anyways.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
Somewhere I read they can force push security updates onto the phone without you even having to accept it. This is something I think they would do over the bootloader to prevent people from stopping the patch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] David Dee:
It will save you from an annoying notification, but you have to click to initiate the install. Also, if you are are rooted, the ota won't work. You are safe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] geoldr:
Really? Well in that case I need to root and block those services. I've been waiting for an unlock and then was gonna root it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
I figured with this method of root it wouldn't effect the update since we weren't messing with the firmware.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] David Dee:
This is Sammy's doing, seems like they are taking a harder line this time around. I used the exact same method on my TF300 and OTAs work like a charm.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] polish_pat:
its black blue

Thanks Bud!! Nice to see you too. On the screenshot you posted, it doesnt match up to mine. It was 28mb and it didnt have any mention of ''improved stability''. Im really wondering what that was, maybe the canadien version of that european release. Also the build number doesnt match up

not always, i received 2 updates on the GS3 that were released from sammy and did not go through carrier testing, unless they did it so uniformly that it didnt seem like it, but then again, telus and bell got it the same day rogers did, but those updates were stability and securtiy related, they didnt bring any features, so i guess it really depends on what the updates changes

This link confirms what David Dee was saying, it also matches my build number and size of update

http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...iving-its-first-ota-update-build-l720vpuamdl/
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] sam2c:
I wouldnt worry too much about OTAs anymore since AdamOutler has an Odin flashable current firmware up in the dev forums.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] geoldr:
Now see thats weird. AT&T version everything is white. Messaging app is white dialer is white contacts are white.

I wonder why...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Thermalwolf:
So what you're saying is I can still install OTA's if I rooted with motochopper? But as long as I have the ota update files frozen I shouldn't have to worry?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] David Dee:
No, once rooted the otas will not work because it detects device modification.
