[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] markbloke:
OK I now have the case and can confirm it's awful. Probably the worst case I've ever seen and it's not cheap.

Manufacturer Description

Problems:

* It's not actually an S-view case. It has no S-View functionality as the phone cannot detect when it is closed.

* Credit card holder slot is ridiculously tight with only one card in it.

* Stand is incredibly flimsy. They actually ship it with a spare for when the original breaks.

* Has a nice metal badge declaring "Premium Leather". In fact it's plastic and says "Synthetic Leather" on the outer packaging.

Overall the front cover slips around making it feel cheap and unstable. It feels unfinished. In short - avoid!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Paparasee:
I just searched for this thread to the exact same thing!

Crap ... I feel so crappy about having wasted money on this and then waiting so eagerly for it to arrive.

Never ever going to get a thing of ebay again and never going to get an item unless I have actual feedback :(
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] markbloke:
I can only apologise to anybody who actually ordered the damn thing on the basis of me finding it in the first post. The seller helpfully informs me that nowhere in the listing does it say it has s-view functionality, and it just happens to look like an s-view case and is called a "smart view folio".

The case was actually designed for the S.Korean version of the phone with a tv aerial.

Cost to me was around £17 delivered. The seller suggests that if I don't like it I can send it back to S.Korea. Sure..... Untracked is about £5, tracked is more than the cost of the case. More fool me for buying it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Paparasee:
Mark, but what they say is not entirely true ...

Take for instance this image

There is no way we can accept or reject call from that screen. In fact, we never get to see dark black screen with info at anytime as shown in the images they have displayed.

They are just cheaters!!! And imagine, I bought 5 cases for myself, wife and 3 friends :(

I have raised a complaint with ebay. Not opening any other pack other than the one I opened to check. Will wait for a reply tomorrow and decide if I should open it or not. The least I expect is some sort of partial refund.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] markbloke:
Good spot, the phone clearly has s-view activated in the picture. The seller sean4040ask has set out to deceive but doesn't seem interested in negotiating.

I've now left negative feedback for him. I can see he's had 4 people revise their feedback so maybe that's needed to shift him. I wouldn't trust ebay to step in as they wouldn't know s-view from special-brew. Good luck Paparasee.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] markbloke:
Use this information at your own risk!

OK I got fed up with the lack of S-View function so spent £1.72 to fix it (mostly). You still can't answer the phone using a swipe and might end up wiping the mag strip on any credit-card you store but that's not such a big deal in the UK as we've largely switched to chip and pin.

So, I ended up with 20 neodymium magnets 4mm diameter x 0.5mm thick.

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140824047605

After a bit of experimentation I found a single magnet glued onto the flap in a critical position was enough to enable s-view mode. The sweet-spot on this case has its centre 8mm down from the window and 12mm in from the edge. If you're doing this use double-sided tape to make sure it stays in s-view before you commit with superglue! If you want to use a credit-card in the slot it actually slides in and out a bit easier with the magnet there. I try to make sure the mag-stripe is away from the magnet just in case I need a fall-back.
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connect42@gmail.com:
Hi guys ... I hope you can help. I apologize if this has been answered, but I cna't seem to put my fnger on an exact next step.

My Kindle Fire HD (8.9 inch) has been rooted before and I did it with zero problems. Last month Amazon sent out an update and I lost root status.

This morning I decided to root again. This time I used Kindle Fire Utility 0.9.6 (binary cmd). I ran twrp, clockwork and fff. At the end of FFF it stalled and rebooted. The Fire never came back on. It will not power on at all. Plugging it in with usb does no good - it is not recognized by my laptop.

I don't think it is hard bricked, but I can't figure a way out of this jam. I have read various posts, but nothing definite jumps out at me as the way I should go. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I promise I will pass it on.

Brian
[8.9" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4iiiidnerd:
Uh ... fff was for 1st gen kf, not kfhd 8.9. Fairly sure you're toast. You could try something though ...

Your bootloader may be toast. If you're able to use fastboot you may be able to fix your problem. There's a lot of threads on making sure adb works ... doesn't seem to be your problem. Hashcode has a good thread on installing twrp using fastboot ... step 4.5 I believe may fix your loader. Just that step.

You'd have to be powered off to go into fastboot (described in Hashcode's post). Fyi, if the kindle (under normal operation) will power on when it's plugged into a power source. If you think your kindle needs charging for a bit, you'll want to connect the charger, wait a moment, then press and hold the power button for 20 to 30 seconds ... at least 10, to make sure it does a hard power off to charge.

If you want to try getting into fastboot, plug in you kfhd ... wait a few moments ... then hold down the power button to ensure a hard power off. You issue the first fastboot command with it off, and if it's going to work, it'll bring up the fastboot screen when you turn it on ( keep it connected).

If all you're going to do is repair your bootloader, you'd issue the command 4.5 from Hashcode's twrp guide, then a fastboot reboot command. That might do the trick.

You should search the forums for the kfhd 8.9 rooting method, bin4ry. That's what you shoulda used. Hope you're not completely bricked!

Ok ... I am totally lost. Getting out of the game, no more tinkering- just want my Kindle Fire back.

Is there anyone here who wants to (knows how to) possibly undo what I have done? I'll trade the repair for an acoustic guitar and case. Any takers?

[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Obscurelight:
Hi, I have a question about canceling service with T-Mobile because they will not allow me to buy the HTC One without a plan online or over the phone and I want the specific T-mobile version. I know with AT&T you have to have service for over a month before you cancel without having to return the phone (well thats what the rule was 5 years ago as far as I'm aware when I got the iPhone 3G) Now that T-Mobile has phased out contracts altogether can I just go ahead and cancel the next day after the service is activated? I'll just pay the prorated plan price and the full price of the phone and then switch over to a prepaid plan.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Paging Dr B:
I'm not sure but t-mobile customer service should be able to break it down for you. Their customer service is pretty amazing.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] ia397:
gooooooooooooood question
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] GG2012:
If you signed up for their new Value plans, you can cancel the next day. Because you are not tied to any more service contracts, the only obligation you have is the full balance of the phone. So once you pay off the phone, you are officially off-contract and the phone is yours (service optional). You're thinking of old Classic plans in which you need one month service before you get to keep the phone by paying the ETF. That doesn't exist anymore.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Towle:
I'm sure T-Mobile has caught onto this and will change the way it works soon. I could see them doing something like charging $650 for the phone if you're a new customer then you get a credit after 30 days. Because technically the $579 is a discounted price for customers.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] stevedebi:
How do you figure that price? The unlocked 32 Gb on the HTC site was 579. Only the developer edition was 649. So it seems to me that TMO is selling them at retail.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] _Dennis_:
Not sure if anyone posted this but I found a super easy way to kill the stupid "You NFC is on" notification.

Edit /system/csc/feature.xml file

Find the line:

CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>ATT< CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType

Remove ATT save file and reboot.

Edit: left begining and end >< off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] KryptosXLayer2:
Gonna have to be a little more specific for n00bs (like me, sorta), the file is called "feature.xml" not "features.xml," and I see a few instances of "ATT" but not a whole line by itself - what is the actual line?

Thanks in advance! Next task is getting rid of the Smart Stay Eye icon!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] _Dennis_:
Sorry the forum thought the line was a command cause it was inclosed in ><

OP fixed
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] KryptosXLayer2:
Hate to be a pain, one more edit - the full line reads:

<CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>Att</CscFeature_NFC_StatusBarIconType>

Thanks! Done and done, works great!

and i just rename the feature.xml to feature.bak

dont know what' the side effect tho.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] androitri:
Why remove it, we can disable it on NFC settings right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] KryptosXLayer2:
You're missing the point...... for some reason, Samsung decided we needed to be constantly reminded on the notification bar that NFC was enabled - we want it enabled, we don't want to disable it just to hide the icon!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] netnerd:
just like the freaking driving mode icon and smart stay icon! I turn on driving mode and smart stay at all time, I don't need these 2 stupid icons taking up spaces on status bar! I also have noteII, it doesn't have these stupid icons! Anyone know how to remove it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] _Dennis_:
Those are smali edits of systemui I believe. Note 2 on 4.1.2 on T Mobile has the smart Stay icon.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] StolenVW:
Those icons are in framework-res not the systemui
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] _Dennis_:
My fault. I just know it involved smali edits which suck. I hate smali lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] F-o-p-p-a:
Must have been an AT&T decision. I switched from the S4 on Sprint to the AT&T S4 and on the Sprint version there was a clear option to disable the icon. Strange.

but anyone happen to know what line is for blocking mode ?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps] gypsy214:
You see Im trying to port that NFC icon on other S4 variants. Because AT&T is the only one that have it on status bar.. Some people wants it so I'm trying to do it for them.. I changed the systemUI icons.... Some says att and i changed them to default... Anyways that didnt worked and flashing a att rom on my tmobile s4 did the tricked. But also people want the tmobile based roms cause of the wifi calling feature

Thanks

Baron
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] aikon359:
To my knowlege unfortunatley no..

the xda 1 only has a standard sd card slot and does not support s.d.i.o

you need an sdio slot to use and peripherals like bluetooth sd cards and wifi sd cards.

i may be wrong but thats what ive heard so far,

you can use sd card cameras because they only send data to the xda, they dont recieve it too, this is the basis behind sdio *sd, input/output*

bluetooth and wifi cards require to send data and recieve so it wouldnt work with a non sdio slot.. ;-(

sorry dude
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 37RYP:
Hey, so I heard about AT&T and Telus getting upgrades for their Notes. I decided to check Kies to see if there was an update for my Note (Rogers) and sure enough, there was one. I clicked update and the program froze, and after waiting a couple minutes I decided to close Kies. When I re-opened Kies, the update was no longer available. How do I get it back? Thanks.

UPDATE: I tried for the hundredth time and I finally got it back. After I clicked update there was a message saying "Cannot access model information server" or something. What does that mean?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
It means go to samfirmware.com and try there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] 37RYP:
After I download the file, what do I do?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
Install Odin software ( its legit from samsung ) then you will use the .tar.md5 file from samfirmware.com in the PDA slot of Odin, put phone in download mode, connect to pc with charger cable, then flash th new rom.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] chaoswyrm:
I have been having an interesting issue with my Bionic post-JB update, and hope someone here can give me some pointers of where to start.

Before the JB update, I was able to connect to my factory head unit (Toyota FJ Cruiser) without issue. I could stream anything via Bluetooth, and often listened to Pandora while on trips. I updated to JB, and now Pandora will not come through the speakers. a few useful tidbits of info.

1) Pandora thinks it is playing on the phone, but no sound comes out from the car stereo.

2) Google Music and PowerAmp both work flawlessly (even hve track data on head unit now :D

3) I have verified the basics (Bluetooth volume is up, Bluetooth enabled in Pandora, cycled the Bluetooth setting in Pandora, rebuilt connection to head unit, R&R'ed the app, etc.)

4) I have frozen the volume notification warning they added in JB.

5) Sound WILL play for about 3 seconds if I launch another music app and Pandora opens over it. Once the other app stops, so does the sound.

6) I have not been able to test this in another vehicle as my other car does not have Bluetooth connectivity.

I am at a loss. :( I can't find anything about anyone else having this particular problem, but it's driving me crazy. I may have to explore other options for music, which would be fine in a couple of months anyway, as a) will be eligible for an upgrade and b) my Pandora One subscription will be ending, but would rather not have to worry about it right now.

If anyone here has experienced anything like this, I would LOVE to have some help.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Armaniac41:
Have a little info, but no real help.

I have a Droid Bionic and drive 2009 Tundra. Had no issues connecting and listening to slacker radio before JB update. Currently can only play Google play music or anything that I have on my SD card. I have searched and found that it is most likely the updated Bluetooth from AVSP? 1.0 to 1.3 which toyota vehicles dont fully comply with. Sounds like the stereo head units are being left behind with the new blueototh updates. Dont know if there is a way to fix this, but it really sucks. I just bought the truck too. Should not have updated to JB. Maybe I will have to get a new head unit.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] redsmear:
I would just use an aux in instead of replacing the head unit. My bionic acts odd when connecting Bluetooth to my 2013 civic. Poweramp always cones on automatically. I usually listen to Xm app. There are apps in the market to help control what apps will play through Bluetooth automatically and I assume those that won't play. I'd search for an app like that was well. I wouldnt replace an OEM head for that. You might have the same problem. I think its fixable through apps if you reseaech enough
[Motorola Droid Bionic] parsnip2:
I have basically the same problem with my bionic and Lexis CT200. Apparently it is just the 4.1.2 version of JB that is the problem. If you use a 4.2.2Rom out will work. CM10.1 has worked for me. YMMV
[Motorola Droid Bionic] rsdown:
Yes, I've had this happen. I can't help MUCH, I'm afraid. All that works for me is to turn off Pandora, turn off BT, start over. But I *am* able to get Pandora to play through my BT usually. It will get confused and only play through the phone at times, but restarting the two seems to help.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] cognitivedissonance:

Does anyone else with the tmobile version notice the phone getting hot?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bgaccord:
I have tmobile version and it runs really cool
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dtrwos:
Sure - any huge data usage, (especially with 3g/4g/lte) will cause the phone to heat up in the cpu area - this can be coupled with high graphics usage, and/or high ram usage -

electricity generates heat as a waste product - it wont get too hot, but it will heat up.

My gs2 would occasionally get so hot i didn't want to hold it or let it sit in my pocket

My new gs4 got plenty warm when redownloading my podcasts, and durring the first google device restore.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hoangiscool2:

Heat is not the same thing as over-heating. These chips have a maximum operating temperature rating of upwards of 70c. There are a myriad of reasons why any two devices would operate at higher or lower temperatures including ambient temperature, radio actions (high-throughput or low signal recovery), and of course running processes. There will always be people who think their phone is "too hot" since it is a purely subjective claim.
