[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dreadnought001:
I've just bought an S4 for my wife (Tesco mobile in the UK) and we noticed that around the camera lens there are a series of fine scratches. However it looks like the scratches are on a protector that surrounds the lens but doesn't cover the centre. I wanted to try to take it off but my wife wouldn't let me as we couldn't be sure it WAS a protector.

So, I wanted to ask whether your s4 came with a protector round the lens and if it did, did you take it off?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theroyalwe:
yes it's a protector - yes, you should remove it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnnyZNN:
My S4 also had a protector on the camera lens.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btemtd:
You dont have to remove it. Leave it to protect from scratches

I would be very surprised if Samsung didn't use Gorilla glass on the camera's lense also.

So short of using your phone around a lot of sand or diamonds, it should be ok.

Mine came off on its own after the phone became hot.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willstay:
I don't think camera lenses are gorilla glasses. I remember developing lots of scratches on my S2. I just wonder why there hasn't been lots of talk about it already.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sukobako:
I took it off after brushing against it a couple of times and hearing the flimsy plastic crinkling sound was enough. I figured it must come off because although the overall build of the S4 is somewhat on the cheap plastic side, it's not possible that this could be a normal feature.

I keep a case on it now so the camera lens never touches the surface the phone rests on.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artnada:
Seems like there is still plastic on my lens. Buggered if I can get it off though.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jutley:
Guys you don't need to take it off the centre is not covered by the protector but it allows the camera to function normally the protector is doing its job properly by protecting the bulk of the lense when say for example you put your phone on the desk it hits the lense first.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mankvl:
pff good thing i found this topic, i was worried that my brand new S4 is already scratched near the camera :D The bad thing about is that it has air in it, at least with my S4 it has and it really don't protect the lens so good. When I'am geting my case i'am taking it off ! :victory:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richie_mp:
not really ...

i would suggest you to tilt and look your s4's back... lens is about 1/2 mm lower than the back cover and never touches the desk surface unless you plan to keep it on a dust(sand) sprinkled surface.

i have also ripped that ****ty thing on my s4...

richie
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themadba:
I got my phone at tesco mobile too, and only because of this thread I noticed there was a camera lens protector. I also thought there were fine scratches around the lens, but I can see now they are on the protector. I'll remove it anyway, going to be getting a case soon which no doubt will sit out further than the camera lens.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m.garz:
i don't think it will affect your shots since it's only covering the sides, mine's still intact
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
You don't need to take it off but I did. It's a doughnut shape and doesn't cover the actual center of the lens where the image is exposed. As such you have to wonder what the point of it is.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mittaa:
Point is: if lens area get in contact with some surface, the raised protector will prevent the actual lens to be scratched. It is difficult to remove because it meant to be there!

If this protector is'n centered correctly when assembled, I guess it can effect quality of camera and have to be removed ...

I too removed it (even there was no need of doing it) but I always use a case that also raise lens from any surface.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
Your point is moot given the plastic rim surrounding the lens is also raised. As for difficultly, I removed mine in less than 5 seconds after deciding to do so.

Sent from my Qualcomm Galaxy S4
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mittaa:
LOL - If lens is protected by rim, then why did Samsung place it at all? :D

And why was it so damned difficult to remove (people could accidentally scratch lens removing protection) :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jaistah:
You can easily remove that via Duck Tape or scotch tape, i replaced mine with a cut-out screen protector from my iPhone 4 and covered all area of the lens since this is the 1st to touch whenever you you place your phone on its backside.

Poor design from Samsung having the Lens mounted outside the back cover. And yes ts plastic not Gorilla glass :eek:

[General Topics] couchomatic:
Hey guys,

As we all know with using a mobile phone, SMS has played an integral part of out daily lives. The problem with the XDA is that unlike a mobile phone, there is no way for us to input SMS messages like a regular sony ericsson or nokia (which i swtiched from). I have been actively rummaging for some sort of software that would be able to enable such a feature. I don't need the T9 or predictive text. I just need the regular 12 big buttons, with their corresponding letters. (ie. 2 (pressed once) = a, 2 (pressed twice) = b, etc.). Is there any software out there that could do this? Preferably so I could just text using 1 hand?

If not, does anyone have any suggestions on what the best SMS input software might be? I've looked at TenGo, Full Screen Keyboard and Jetkey, as well as 1HandSMS (which apparently no one has, taken off the pocketbeam website due to infringement?) so far. Any suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks in advance! :D

But take a look to my project:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=56239
[General Topics] Carlos:
I don't understand. The biggest advantage of the XDA over a phone is the ability to use handwriting instead of being limited to 10 buttons, and you want to go back to the old way...??
[General Topics] Sallala:
Sometimes the SMS-like writing is better, for example if you take a phone converstation (With line-phone) and like to quickly search a contact with half hand. Or when you travel with a public transport and the bus shake you, you can't use lettter recognizer...

Any other case, the handwriting is good. But IMHO SMS-like writing neither slow.

Other thing, in my surround, who has a PDA everybody use soft-keyboard in stead of the letter recognizer. Don't know why...

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mswlogo:
I find the volume on Voice Command prompts extremely low.

The Voice Call over BT is fine.

Just the prompt.

Anyone how to adjust it. Usually I just turn volume up on headset but it does not respond.

Thanks.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] cdaniel76:
Not sure if you and I are having the same issue but here's what I'm experiencing. I have one of those visor clip-on bluetooth speaker units in my truck (this one, to be exact: http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Blue...&qid=1368373646&sr=8-1&keywords=t325+motorola). When I press the button on the unit to activate the voice command prompt, the prompt does not come though the bluetooth speaker. It comes out through the phone speaker and it's very low. Once I do get the call going, all sound then comes through the bluetooth speaker loud and clear.

I did not have this issue with my Galaxy S3. All prompts and commands came through the bluetooth speaker loud and clear.

Unfortunatly, I did not test the bluetooth BEFORE I rooted and installed ViperROM, so I cannot be sure if this is a ROM or phone issue.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mswlogo:
Nope, but similar issue. It's definitely doing voice command prompt through the headset, it's just very low volume. Once on the call the volume is fine.

Same here, I didn't test before I put on OMJ ROM. I suspect it's not the ROM though.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mswlogo:
I have a hunch the problem has to do with Beats Audio.

I have tried disabling beats with no change but I think it might still route through it.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] mswlogo:
I fixed it.

I think the Volume between the Phone BT and the Headset was out of Sink.

All I did was turn the Volume Down to Min and then Back up and now it's loud.

And it seems across boots.

I swear I tried Up and Down and got no response initially. Not sure if the OTA helped anything.

Even now the "Bluetooth Volume" does not always immediately appear on the screen when I adjust headset Volume.

I recently bought a Star G9300+ which I think it's the same as a HDC galaxy S3 i9300

My problem is that it doesnt read my 3 usim (3 is an italian operator and I live in Italy). My usim works in any other device.

When i put it into my device it asks me pin but after that it says "No sim detected in slot 1" (In italian of course).

Any other sim (but not USIMs) works in my device.

My device is: (from the site where i bought it)

Model G9300 +

P.S.: is it a dual SIM phone, isn't it? So, did you try both the SIM slots? Usually on dual SIM chinese smartphones, one slot is GSM-only, and therefore an H3G USIM cannot work in it.

No I haven't but i will try to get them soon

So i received my Galaxy s4 from UScellular... with the S-Cover case. Personaly i hate that damn case. Fiber on inside gets dirty real easily. And ya flip it back and it covers the camera... Try taking several pictures with that case.. it'll piss ya off. Anyway.. im just wondering what cases anyone has bought.. Ive always bought otter boxes for my previous phones.. Nice but doing the work i do.. I gotta tear em apart every week and clean the inside of my built in screen protector. After about 6 months it broke.. the GS4 has gorilla glass3.. Last phone had first version. Peaking of last phone.. after the otter box broke i tore it off as well with screen protector and wearing it a year.. NO scratches what so ever.. So i decided on a nice looking.. yet ruged case... I came across the I-Blason Prime

Loved the way it looked and had great reviews.. and pretty darn cheap as well. Has anyone tried this case yet? What other cases are good for the s4? My requirements are a decent rim around the outside to keep screen away from surface.. same with camera.. other than that i could care less

Sadly, the Nexus 4 does not support USB OTG without any kind of custom kernel and external power. OTG is disabled in the kernel level, and the motherboard can only output 3.3 volts out of the USB port. In order to get the required 5 volts, you would need a Y splitter cord attached to some other power source

OTG is possible with Zippey's kernel. You'll need a external source of power as well to power the usb flashdrive like a external battery.
