[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Degrated Shadow:
i think you guys are snapdragon users of s4.. cant say what's causing you this but my octocore is well almost lagless(only whatsapp lags, cant be s4's problem). battery life well i was previously a gnex user and i can hardly believe that a smartphone experience can get better than this while still having enough juice left).. even on power saving mode its performing flawless. i was just a bit disappointed with not being able to use lockscreen widgets while having a security pattern.. but that can be fixed later on.

Start turning off the sensors (Air View, Air Gesture, etc.) then check again if it makes any difference.

When i first got my S4 it lagged a lot with the pre installed firmware (MDC) after updating to MDM the lag was mostly gone, Putting transition time to zero in Dev Options made the Device butterly smooth. No more lag at all
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andrewtst:
Putting transition time to zero means no more transition animation. Sure cannot detect any animation lag or not.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AMDPOWERFIST:
mine has 0 lag - ive rooted mine, changed a few things here and there, frozen apps i dont/wont use to get the best performance results

As for battery - ive turned off all of the sensors when not using them, keep wifi/4G on constantly and use my phone very regularly throughout the day and i can only burn off about 45% from 5am (wake up, go to the gym, listen to music through my phone for a whole hour in the morning) to when i go to bed at 9pm at night.

I noticed a lag in the spell auto correction. When typing fast , the " blue" suggested word appears with some small delay. And by that time, instead of the suggested word, I put the previous one word that has stayed in blue.... So in order to put the correct one I have to wait for second the suggested word to change/appear in blue... (I use the stock Samsung keyboard)

Hi,

I just picked up a new Galaxy S4, model SGH-m919v fun Eastlink. Apparently, they have the lte radio in this disabled, from what I can see and hear from S3 owners oh Eastlink now too. Is there any way to enable the lte radio?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] colhavoc:
*b
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] raffacorreio:
Yes you can!

Yes, you can enable LTE into SGH-M919V. You need to find the T-Mobile's modem (M919UVUAMDL or M919UVUAMDB) and flash it. But first: did you try force LTE in your S4?

To do this just dialing *#197328640# and then select UMTS -> Debug Screen -> Phone Control -> Network Control -> Band Selection -> LTE Band Preference -> LTE B4 -> LTE B4 again to confirm. Then you need to go back to the previous screen. If you see a [*] after LTE B4 the device has support. The Band 7 (LTE B7) should also works in Canada and you could try select it onto the same process.

Please, let me know if it works for you!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] raffacorreio:
It works!!!

Hey, my friend just got his SGH-M919V and is using it with Bell LTE!!! Here are the steps:

1) Download the T-Mobile firmware from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-M919&pcode=0#firmware and extract.

2) Find the file "modem.bin" and move it to another folder. This file should be about 50MB.

3) Put phone in download mode and plug in USB.

4) Start Odin software.

5) Select "phone" and select the "modem.bin" file.

6) Only thing checked should be "Auto Reboot"

7) Hit Start

8) Let it reboot and after that you should be able to connect the LTE network.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crimxon04:
I also have the same problem. My Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919v, Open line) doesn't have an LTE option in the network mode settings. It also has a sticker on the phone saying 4G LTE

I even tried updating to Android 5.0 Lollipop from Android Kitkat 4.4.2 (over-the-air) and still the LTE option isn't present. I searched through the internet about S4 not having the LTE function but only for different Galaxy S4 (i9505?)

[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] JimTheNurse_sjfan:
Everytime I plug in Nook Charging cable it keeps booting over and over. If I plug in my samsung galaxy cable it charges but the moment I plug in it just turns off completely and wont turn on until I unplug. I originally had a dual boot system running for 1.4.0 which is my nook version and tried to do a recovery which said successful from the file I created but when I rebooted the whole system didnt know what to use for what and kept asking then crashing. I factory wipe/reset after the problem started and upgraded to CM10 cynogen mod with the new JellyBean no duel boot. RUNS AMAZING. But the charging problems still remains, even when I booted stock after factory reset it was still doing this. I have CWM installed internally. Please help me I have looked over many threads one said it was an update problem created with AdobeFlash updates and I tryed to flash the fix listed but it just says error during install and aborts. Also it will stay on during the cynogen mod boot screen even if i plug in either charger but at the top it just says "Charging Disabled" says the precent. I left it plugged in at this screen and it didnt charge one percent after 30 minutes.

I just want to charge it and have it on at the same time. Please any help, any ideas and comments is appreciated. Thank You
[Barnes & Noble Nook Tablet] ACL3:
i have this problem too. I'm using CM10. My battery died and wouldn't charge no matter how long I had it plugged in for.

Then recently it turned on, but when it is plugged into the wall, it just constantly reboots.

Any help?
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Zolor23:
My data speeds are very consistent at 8mbps down and 2mbps up, with some high tens here and there. Doesn't really matter, but I was getting 15 down with my old One S. No big deal, but just wondering if T-Mobile is capping the speeds. It is not the throttling that happens after going over the 2GB or 5GB limit. This is in Boston.
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] blackangst:
The only caps you speak of are only by the technology you're using I.e. 3g, HSPA+, LTE.

And before you ask...Google knows those numbers :)
[T-Mobile HTC One (M7)] Zolor23:
Yes, but I am sure that I'm in an HSPA+ zone. Theoretical caps of 42mbps. I've had 15mbps constantly with my old One S. Now, it's half that with my One. Same place in my room.

Exactly this. Go to settings, about device and see what baseband says. If it's FL24 or lower you need a jb modem (FK09 - GB27)

Look at the stickies in the general forum for modem repo to get one.

Anyone enjoy tinkering and working on hardware that would enjoy having a side job opening or dismantling DNA's and maybe a few other devices?

I'm looking for a partner in a project that has experience on the hardware side of electronics and spends some time on the forums or surfing the net.

If this is something you might be interested in let me know. I also need someone to source some bricked DNA's.

Define tinkering , I have changed screens on my HD2 from one to the other on many occasions . So Im interested but I dont know if that is enough to help you out ?

I have had my DNAs apart. But mostly only opened up phones with removable batterys. Honestly the hardest part is getting the shielding off this phone without mangling it.

It's going to be a learning process I'm not looking for a DNA take apart expert, mostly I need someone interested in participating that's patient, and doesn't get halfway through a tear down then drive to the nearest lake and dump the parts in the water because of frustration.

The kind of person that might take apart the family's microwave to see what's inside (or buy an ATM machine to see how they work lol). Someone who enjoys mechanical stuff and can stay level headed even if they hit a bump in the road, take a breather then out think that stripped screw by making it a flathead with a dremel tool so you can unscrew it and replace it.

These are just a few of the things I mess around with. In all cases above, the things still worked when I was done "tweaking" them. Thats not always the case lol. Sometimes my curiosity has broken stuff, but not that often.

However, I don't only take apart electronics. When I bought my house, I didn't like my bathroom one saturday, So I removed it, the walls, the floor, the ceiling.. and built a bigger one with a skylight, jet tub, tile floor, walk in shower.. I found out later that I guess your supposed to have a permit to do stuff like that? lol.. oh well. Sold the house and nobody asked questions.. shhh!!

I have also rebuilt the engine in my 2004 Sport Trac. It sucked a valve into the #1 cylinder and shattered the piston. Pulled it, disassembled the entire motor, replaced the piston, crank, connecting rod, timing gears/chain, intake manifold.. then put it all back together in about 4 days. Alone in my dads garage (I don't have a garage.. sigh) last December. Works like a champ and only cost me 300 bucks to do!

I'm a tinkerer turned professional.. a professional tinkerer? lol. To me, all things work the same.. if you can take apart a microwave, you can disassemble yard sprinkler system, or rebuild a transmission. Everything comes apart, and everything can be put back together.. doesn't matter what it is.

So what are you workin on?
[HTC Droid DNA] karn101:
Dude, that is awesome!

I would have loved to pursue a career such as that. The most tinkering I do is car stuffs and little gadget repairs here and there. Maybe one day...
[HTC Droid DNA] keith843:
Serenity, that's pretty awesome. But electronic trannies to me are meant for professionals. I used to hate rebuilding the Allison 4L80E trannies in hmmwv's.
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Now you guys have my attention. When I was 14 I got a 1968 Chevy pickup that was supposed to be a rat rod style cheap daily driver hotrod.

Within 3 months it had turned into a frame off restoration project/show truck/daily driver/built for the hot rod power tour as well.

While working on that Dad and I got into drag racing and built a 91 Camaro drag car.

Fuel injection is what first got me into technology. I was into mechanical things but computers kind of scared me because of the unknown. And this was way before smart phones and tablets and such so tech wasn't part of popular trends.

I decided I couldnt judge computers based on not knowing them, so I decided to take one apart. I was pleasantly surprised to learn it was just like building a racing engine or designing custom suspensions. And here I am :)
[HTC Droid DNA] munchy_cool:
this is me, no where on earth I'd rather be ;)

PS:-sorry for the OT
[HTC Droid DNA] dnargsiefil:
Okay saw the post and wondered... how far you guys got with taking the DNA's apart?

I'm in the process of replacing the screen with digitizer. Well this was the plan and now I have taken off the motherboard, battery, charging and the camera portion according to the video from etrader.

It seems I have to get the LCD and digitzer away from the actual frame, but that is nowhere mentioned or shown and I don't really know where to start (prying or not ... )

Attached 2 pics... I really need help, my wife is driving my crazy complain about my old trust Droid X ... even so it was her in the first place breaking the DNA.

Thanks Jens

[HTC Droid DNA] jodell22:
Dude.... I think you win. Haha that's awesome. Next time I need my motherboard rebuilt it's headed your way.
[HTC Droid DNA] Zarboz:
Where I circled is adhesive you will need to peel off / apart from mid frame
[HTC Droid DNA] dnargsiefil:
How will the new LCD/ digitzer combo plug in place so it is nice and tied?
[HTC Droid DNA] Zarboz:
That silver tape is just that some kinda tape

The run the new LCD ribbons through the same slots in the midframe re use the adhesive thats left on the midframe
[HTC Droid DNA] dnargsiefil:
Alright I pried the old display off. During the process the ribbon got pretty beaten up... what else could I use ... any kind of special glue. Don't want the screen falling out while my wife is talking on her phone.

Even so she will get the otter case when I'm done here... :)
[HTC Droid DNA] Zarboz:
Gorilla gel glue use VERY SPARINGLY and apply with a toothpick to avoid overflow onto plastic

Do a test on some other non phone parts to become familiar with the adhesive
[HTC Droid DNA] dnargsiefil:
It seems that Google comes back with some 1mm double sided adhesive tape for cell phone screens but I think that would be way to thick. Any suggestions on that?

---------- Post added at 12:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

Okay hunting down the Gorilla gel glue, found it at Walmart, better not tell my wife I shop at Walmart, she hates that store...
[HTC Droid DNA] Zarboz:
I prefer the 1mm adhesive but gorilla glue will suffice in the event no adhesive tape is around
[HTC Droid DNA] dnargsiefil:
But 1mm sounds to me pretty thick or is that not the thickness of the tape? The stuff I peeled off the frame is just a film of adhesive...
[HTC Droid DNA] dnargsiefil:
I broke the new display also... the two cable connectors didn't seem quiet right, lower one to short, upper one to long. Apparently you have to shuffle them around before you really glue the screen on. Well the screen was nice and tied when I noticed, So wihle trying to remove the screen I broke the damn digitizer glass again. Okay with the buy of the next screen I'm kind of even with what I would have paid at a repair store. ****... :(

So I was wondering,

I got a t-mobile sim kit when they were free on T-mobile.com. Now the rep was telling me that they expire within 30 days but that sounds fishy to me.

Can anybody clarify if an expiration date on a unused Activation kit is true? One sim I have says activate by 2015?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
They do expire if not activated within a certain time frame, when yours expires? It should say on the sim kit itself.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Vicpdx18:
well on the sim itsself it says activate by 2015 so does that mean it still works or is their another date i should look for?
[HTC Amaze 4G] Dark Nightmare:
That should be it as far as I know.

[General Topics] Rudegar:
os == operating system

and since Symbian and windows CE are pretty different

operating systems they dont give the same options

as a rule programs in normal windows have a message loop

where they wait for and act on messages sendt by the operating system

if the gsm part is not a soo integrated part of the operating system

so it use the same messages then the program cant react on it and

play your audio file

but since those special ring tones for contacts and picture for contacts can handle the ring messages then

we'll assume that the gsm part does work with messages like they should

so maybe you can make such a program

but then it could also be a os limit that the audio part of the gsm overrule

the normal audio so that no audio file can ever be directed to the gsm audio

i dont know really
