Saying again, to aspect to see difference at low light photos with flash etc, the big difference is at sun light photos

To have the same quality u have to take 5mp photo and then resize it at 1.2mp

This mod does all this auto, and i like vignette, i think that focuses faster than stock

Rule 6: Posting / Linking / Requesting Warez

If a piece of software requires you to pay to use it, then pay for it. We do not accept warez nor do we permit any member to request, promote or describe ways in which Warez, cracks, serial codes or other means of avoiding payment, can be obtained. This is a site of developers, i.e. the sort of people who create such software. When you cheat a software developer, you cheat us as a community

Some members in this thread seem to think this is a warez free-for-all here... I can assure you it is not.

Do NOT ask for warez and Do NOT offer warez... There will be no more warnings!

You are right!- this little mod is for user who paid for this app and would like to check some tweak and report feedback and then maybe the app developer will consider to implement it- but no way A warez thread that you are asking each other to send this app, some users had contact me in privet to mod and sent this app 4 them (user who paid) but still my answer was that I not going to touch, share or mod this paid app 4 them- 1st its illegal, but more than that its not cool to do this for a Developer of the app.

SO please! don't make this thread a warez thread because I will delete it and not share any tweaks in future!

IF you like to check this tweak- do it yourself to your paid app- and not ask other to spread it all around! - I know that not all of you can try it- but Its better for those who cant use apktool not to try and may damaged their phone.
[HTC Rezound] veevans01:
Well I have finally unlock my Rezound. I I have been trying since last night to root it. I am on Android version 4 .0 .3 since version 3. 6. Software number 3. 14 .605.12 710 Rd. I am using a Mac Book to root with. My Rezound is unlocked with S on. I have read many threads about installing custom recovery and accessing custom recovery dating back to 2011. I have tried to root it through H boot by installing it in the root of my sd card and it did not work. What is the best version number and steps to use in order to root my Rezound with my mac book because I am really stuck . Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
[HTC Rezound] LoneWolf:
I am assuming that you already have the adb setup.

Download the recovery and rename it to well recovery then put the "recovery" file on the adb folder

Next open up terminal type "cd" then space bar and drag and drop the folder that you put the recovery file into the terminal then hit enter

Turn off fastboot on your phone and turn on usb debugging and type this into the terminal ./adb devices

If your device shows up then type this ./adb reboot bootloader

then type this ./fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

wait for it to flash then type ./fastboot reboot bootloader

Then go to the recovery then once you are in the custom recovery go down to developer options

Select Install su and superuser and wait for that to finish.

And boom your rooted and running

I have a mac also and thats what I did

If you find a way to S off on a mac let me know
[HTC Rezound] veevans01:
Everything worked up to when I issued the command . /fastboot reboot bootloader. When I hit enter a series of commands pop up. Do I use the phone to go to recovery or is it supposed to pop up after the. /fastboot reboot bootloader line?
[HTC Rezound] LoneWolf:
just use the phone if the line didnt work sometimes it does sometimes it doesnt
[HTC Rezound] veevans01:
Should the PH98IMG.zip file be on the root of my ext. sd card when typing the line on my computer? Maybe I misunderstood some of the info that I was reading. Sorry for the questions. I am new to rooting.
[HTC Rezound] LoneWolf:
what are you doing exactly with the PH98IMG.zip file

and what exactly are you trying to do if you wanna root there is no need for the PH98IMG file
[HTC Rezound] veevans01:
I haven't used it for anything. I just wanted to be sure that I didn't need to put any type of file in the removable sd card. I followed all of the steps including finding the developer option under recovery. From there I selected install su and superuser. It went through the steps and then I rebooted the phone as the next step . However the phone is still not rooted. Btw I am using recovery 3.16. Should I try an earlier version?
[HTC Rezound] LoneWolf:
Flash this in recovery http://db.tt/p7CerMda
[HTC Rezound] veevans01:
Thanks. Do I put this on my computer inside the android folder where the adb, fastboot and the recovery files are located or do I put it in the phone on the sd card?
[HTC Rezound] LoneWolf:
on phone storage then in recovery flash it and you should have root
[HTC Rezound] veevans01:
Worked like a charm. I am now rooted. Thanks for your help. I guess I had a bad copy of su superuser. Again, thanks for all of your help.

I currently have a Droid Charge, which has the same sAMOLED+ screen of the S2, and I have no problem looking at it in direct sunlight. People complain about the outdoor visibility on the S4 and I am wondering if it is worse than previous generations.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
General question coming from a S3 user. How smooth is the phone in key areas such as the Browser, Gallery, playing games, swiping homescreens etc.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] born_fisherman:
Very smooth. Need to get directions in a pinch, BAM! No waiting for maps to load and find your location..

I'm sure there are review videos showing how well it works.. I know I've read articles about how smooth the screen scrolling is (dare I say it) iphone-ish.

Stop asking questions and go buy it! :D
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Galactus:
Had to ask lol, I won't be buying it till the 64gb version is available in the UK. Currently my music folder takes up 35gb on my micro sd card so the 32gb option is a no go.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] phositadc:
Returned my GS4 today (that's not the purpose of this thread, so don't bash me), and when the guy asked why I was returning it, I said it's kind of laggy and not enough of an upgrade over my GS3 to warrant keeping. A few minutes later he asked if I ever "activated" the phone, and I said, "I just stuck my SIM card in and it worked." He responded, "Well that is why your GS4 was slow--you did not activate it properly."

I proceeded to explain to him that I did not mean that data was slow, but that the phone itself was laggy, i.e., opening dialer, taking pictures, etc--stuff that has nothing to do with the SIM card or activation. He nevertheless argued with me and insisted that if I had properly activated it instead of just inserting my SIM card, then it would have functioned better. We argued for a minute or two and then I just gave up and said "fine, I would like to return it anyways, thanks."

Anyways, just thought I'd share. The guy clearly has no idea what he's talking about, but it was worth a laugh.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrGriffdude:
It's like when I told the att rep that I might not be purchasing tha s4 because of the locked boot loader. She proceeded to explain that you could take the back of the phone off and that it was not locked.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Shammyh:
Ha. Funniest post so far today...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mr_blanket:
Ugh, this makes me so angry. These AT&T reps remind me of Best Buy employees that sell computers or phones. They are so used to being the "person that knows everything" that they can't deal with being proved wrong or won't see it any other way. For example, I wanted a Macbook Pro and I knew the onboard video card could run my favorite games at a full 60 fps.. So I asked for a sales person to get me the laptop in the cage. Instead, I was given a lecture by the sales person on why "Macs can't play games" and I should get this HP "gaming" laptop (17 inches, neon lights, etc). I tried to educate him on things like bootcamp, nVidia series numbers, and even the games themselves, but nothing got through. He was told at some point in his life that "Macs can't play games" and that's that.

It's gotten to the point where if I want to cancel a service or return a product and they ask "what was wrong?" I simply say "it wasn't the right fit for me" or "I just want to try something else". It's not worth getting in an argument about because there are no winners and you aren't going to educate anyone that gets paid to sell, sell, sell. Educate yourself ahead of time of the store's policies and if the rep tries to give you sh*t, just ask for a manager and be sure you are able to quote policy if need be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] raqball:
Agree!

It's like people expect that store (best buy, cellular ect) employees all have a BAS or MBA in computer science..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] atsim:
Could have read it wrong,but looks like he was returning his phone and the att rep asked him why. So he told them. what was wrong with that? He didn't take his phone to att thinking some kind of magic was going to take place and it wouldn't lag anymore. That was the att rep saying if he actavatied it he wouldn't have that problem. Again maybe I read the op wrong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrGriffdude:
I'm fine with people not knowing if its that important i will usually know about it anyways. I just dislike it when I get a bull crap response in return. If I do receive one I don't make a scene and argue with them. I just thought that response was worth a chuckle or two.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] geokhentix:
Considering the title of the thread is meant to find humor in the reps response, it doesn't really matter how it came about. If he wanted to return his phone, do it without picking fun at people who are literally paid to be treated like dirt. I have to talk to support every single day in my job, and trust me, it can be a huge headache, but I don't hold it against them because I know that when I hang up with them, 9 times out of 10, the next person that picks up the phone is going to scream at them.

Perhaps I was a little rude, I meant no offense to any of you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mcmb03:
I tend to disagree. While sure, the reps may not be "informed" they still shouldn't try to talk out of their asses about something they don't understand. If anything this would shy me away from a product than entice me to get it. Imagine if you go to a restaurant and you ask the waiter/waitress about ingredients in a dish, they don't make stuff up if they don't know, they go ask.

As for this being a "degrading community" please get off this forum, as it's clearly not for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mr_blanket:
My only gripe is when the person you are talking to (best buy, AT&T, etc) claims that they KNOW they are right because they've had some Saturday afternoon training.

See my example above. All I did was ask for a Macbook Pro from the Best Buy rep and I was questioned on my purchase. A more recent example was the AT&T rep asking me why I cared about the release date of the Galaxy S4 because "it's not like this is an iPhone". It shouldn't matter if it's the S4, iPhone or even a dumb phone. Just answer my question and I'll be on my way.

Even when I went to the store to pick up the S4, the AT&T rep started the phone, and logged in as his own Gmail account and installed a "task killer". He had the phone behind the desk where I couldn't see and by the time I had gotten it in my hands, he had logged out of his account. I asked simply "why did you install this?" and he said "well that's so your phone doesn't run slow. Just run that every couple days and your good". I just factory reset as soon as I got in the car and went on my way.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] geokhentix:
They are paid to handle your questions. That is their job. They are not allowed to say "I don't know.", or they will lose their job. If I were at a restaurant and asked a waiter about the ingredients in a dish, I would know that the restaurant obviously made this dish themselves. AT&T did not manufacture the S4. It is not their hardware. It is not their software..well, a small portion of it is. But either way, they shouldn't be held responsible for the physical malfunctions of a device that they didn't themselves produce.

"Degrading community"; go look at the bootloader unlock thread and see how many people are crying and being impatient and just downright rude because djrbliss decided not to release HIS WORK until he sees necessary, and then tell me this community isn't degrading, and if things keep going in this direction, I will find my way off this forum...Because you are right, it's not for me, because I am not an impatient troll that bites the hand that feeds me just because I don't want to wait a few weeks. I do know that this is irrelevant to this thread, but I thought I'd post it anyway. It bothers me so much. I want to punch everyone being jerks in that thread......right in the face.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] atsim:
No I didn't think it was rude. This is xda though people get crazy over the smallest thing. How many lag threads do we have now? Ahaha things get outta hand fast.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mcmb03:
I didn't say they should say they don't know, they should go find a more well-informed rep at the store and find out, unless you condone of AT&T reps to lie to their customers.

Also I don't mean to sound harsh, it's just something that really pisses me off, and I'm not trying to flame you or anything :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] geokhentix:
Hey, no worries, all in good fun right? :D I don't condone lying, but they aren't allowed to tell you they don't know, they'll lose their jobs if that happens too often...they're basically forced to lie if they can't give you a definite answer. Damn, if I get one bad survey, my director breathes down my neck like a dragon and threatens to send me to gitmo.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Noodles5666:
As a retail sales leader for one of the major 4 in the US I find the OP to have every right to post what he did and use the Thread title he did. The sales rep that helped him in an effing dolt. Along the same lines as the reps that tell customers that they need to condition a Lithium Ion/Lithium Polymer battery. You need to calm down bro.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrGriffdude:
Exactly making something up is worse then not knowing just tell me you don't know and be done with it. don't make something up and misinform people
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] geokhentix:
When my job is on the line and I have a family to feed and I have no information in front of me about the problem you're having, I'll tell you that your phone is slow because there's a small civilization of gnomes inside your device that are getting a little too sexual and overbreeding
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mcmb03:
Now that people would definitely believe!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Noodles5666:
They are paid to handle questions yes. I do not know of any company that would have their reps lie to customers just so they don't have to say "I don't know."

Personally if I saw any of my reps giving misinformation I would have a coaching session with them after the fact but also correcting the statement so the customer has the truth.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cnewsgrp:
No body is targeting poor tech support slave - its AT&T. AT&T chose to modify default Samsung firmware for its profit. It follow that it should be required to provide basic support. Every tech rep (not sales) should be provided with common faq's to deal with common issues. This situation is NOT similar to asking Bestbuy/Wal-mart to support tech products primarily because they did not modify them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrGriffdude:
That's better then my locked boot loader response lol

But don't get mad if we call you on the bs lol were paying for the service and respect your work but that gives me the right to gripe about too ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] geokhentix:
I was indeed misinformed, I was under the impression that the rep in question was one of the phone support slaves. I will agree that any retail-setting rep shouldn't have conducted themselves in this manner...and since we're on the subject, I'm a district manager in the New York Metro area. I wouldn't tolerate this from any of my employees. But I would tolerate it from a phone support rep who has their calls monitored and are unable to say they don't know. Seriously, if they say they don't know, bad stuff happens. Bad bad stuff.

So my sincerest apologize to you all, and the OP. Perhaps I am part of the reason the community is degrading.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] colts187:
This reminds me of when I got my gs4 and the guy was telling me about the promo where they had $200 off a tablet if u add a data plan. He was showing me the Galaxy Tab 2 and he said this is the best tablet ever. I said no thanks I have a Nexus 10. So he said man the Galaxy Tab 2 is WAY better than a Nexus 10! I said really how? He went on to tell me how the processor is faster and the screen is better and it has front facing speakers and the n10 doesn't. I said oh yeah, I'm not talking about the Nexus 7 bro. He said dude I know my **** the Galaxy Tab 2 is better. I said ok fine but I still don't want the POS you are wrong on every aspect. It was all I could do to keep my composure. I can barely stand to go to the store once every two years b/c of dumb asses like him. The Nexus 10 is superior in every way - the sim card slot. What a ****. The customer is always right especially when the customer actually knows more about the products than the salesperson. This dude has worked there for years. I don't know why I'm surprised because he was trying to tell me the Iphone 5 had quad-core memory:D. Lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] geokhentix:
I don't know why any rep would praise the iPhone. I started as a regular retailer for AT&T 6 years ago, and since then I've moved up to District Manager, and I tell all of my employees in the 7 stores that I manage to do all they can to defile the iPhone and all Apple products. While we make commission on Android handsets, we make almost no commission on iPhones because Apple is too stingy to pay us for it. That's changed recently, but it's still almost nothing compared to selling an Android phone.

Let it be known; If I could, I would burn Apple to the ground.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrGriffdude:
Burn baby burn lol
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cnewsgrp:
Please don't apologize. while there are few bad apples in XDA -overall experince is nice. Your comments are helpful.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] phositadc:
Wow I was gone for a few hours and this thread blew up =P Seems like everything has been resolved.

But just to clarify, yes, this was at a retail store. I returned the phone, AT&T sales rep asked why, I said something like, "it feels slower and laggier than my Galaxy S3," and a few minutes later, he told me my problems were because I had not properly activated the phone. And let's be honest here, anybody that has even a MINIMAL knowledge of phones would know that guy is dead wrong.

It was a sales rep, not a tech support guy. And I was not seeking advice on how to fix the phone, I was trying to return it.

In any event, sales rep, tech support, or anything else, it's just plain misinformed to tell a customer that system performance issues are caused by sim activation. What if, based on his advice, I had allowed him to "activate" the phone properly, and then I took it back home? Later today or tomorrow I would have discovered the phone was still functioning exactly the same, but by then it may have been too late for me to return it. So his bad advice could actually have been harmful, in this case.

Anyways, thanks to geokhentix for chiming in, and no worries about misreading the first post. I'm with you---generally counterproductive to bash sales reps or tech support people. And I wasn't really bashing (at least, I wasn't intending to bash)... I was more just slightly frustrated and posting here for some solidarity :) Amongst people who know that the sim card is not the cause of GS4 performance issues :)

Carry on.

Ewww, he put his spooge all over your phone...ewww. That's like someone wearing your underwear on a hot summer day and then sneakily putting it back... :o
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] lessthanzach:
Probably just trying to save a sale. That being said, you would be amazed how many people come in with phone issues and they haven't power cycled their phone ever since they bought it. Then they act like I know nothing when I tell then they need to reboot every so often. The customer is not always right, but in this case the rep definitely was wrong.

It's a hard world out there this day and age. Every middle aged dad and mom act like they know everything because their 12 year old kid told them they need 3 anti virus programs and advanced task killer which hasn't had a need since Android 2.3. Try to argue with a parent's 12 year old kid and I guarantee you will lose every time.

So try and cut these guys some slack. I can say first hand, we are treated worse than I was ever treated at McDonald's when I worked there.
