What ever happened to quality assurance testing?! Wouldn't expect this from a company as big as Samsung. Unacceptable.

If this is true, the only solution should be a recall which allows for a brand new phone. What does it mean to fix it when it happens? Send the phone into them and wait a week for them to refurbish the phone? Their mistake, they should take the short end of the stick.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] MisterEdF:
Sounds like a load of TROLL crap from whoever originally posted it.

yea don't the robot butt jeans sit on these phones?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] rfail1988:
Someone on the att thread made a good point. It wont be recalled because its not safety related, just build quality related. So most likely whats gonna happen is that they will send you a new phone (or refubished more likely) to replace your damaged one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikrame:
I dont believe this at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gaslucas39:
it won't be recall , i think
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GG2012:
I thought the pre-order numbers for this phone was massive, way more than S3. No way they would recall a gazillion phones.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] alias_kid:
I don't believe this either but i'm curious to find out if it's true. my screen developed a hairline crack across the middle within a week. never dropped it, never sat on it, never squeezed it, nothing. and Tmobile has been giving me hell because they say it's accidental damage and there's nothing they can do. if i want it fixed i'll have to pay.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dr. Fed:
Ooh fun thread. Wait, let me get my shovel...

How strong would a plastic frame be anyhow? I like plastic phones because they're lite. But they're not bomb proof. Nevertheless, I trust Samsung would know by now how to make a plastic phone.

Btw, did anyone see the MKBHD vid when he flexes the S4 next to the microphone? I don't think the screen cracked.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] alias_kid:
that's my concern as well. They made the phone both thinner AND lighter, but i think they overdid it. There's no need for the phone to be this thin. Not when you sacrifice durability to achieve it. when the phone is this thin, and the chassis is made of soft plastic, the screen becomes the most rigid part of the device. and screen with class that's about as thick as a sheet of paper. and to answer your question, no, samsung DOES NOT know how to make a plastic phone. For that, see any modern Lumia phone by NOKIA...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] irishdsmyth:
Lets hope that doesn't happen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bikrame:
I wonder how u can even think that can happen.

Recalling 10 millions phone is possible at all.

I agree with you. It will be terrible for samsung.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ineffablepanda:
Generally, electronics only get recalled for major safety issues. There is the possibility of a warranty extension, but unless S4s start bursting into flames or giving people cancer there will never be a recall.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] riviereg:
Dear All xda pda users,

I search for some help to upgrade my xda,

here is the situation:

I am French, I live in Vietnam and I buy an xda II in Hong Kong

it's an english device and I would like to let it in this language

My ROM version is 1.66.00 WWE

My ExtRom (what is this ?) version is 1.66.165

My Windows version is window 2003

Some times, without asking me, this device don't want to give me the screen (black screen) and when I remove the batery or when I press the soft reset button, It's doing a Hard reset ...

Well, This is a windows device and my (pc) experience show me that we cannot trust those kind of software. So, I backup my data. No problem.

I know this before buying this device that backup and don't trust is the the way to keep your data with windows.

I have also a clock problem, sometimes no alarm and the clock seams to be crasy (my time settings change during the night ...). For me, this is a basic features of a PDA: clock ! So also, don't trust your clock ...

But, now, I would like to update this device for tring to solve those problems

(this is not a batery problem, after this hard reset every thing is ok, the batery is 90 %, I also try with my second batery)

So my question is:

What is this ROM Version ?, on myxda.com they speak about the new version 1.6.0 WWE !!! Is there some ROM for Asia, ROM for Europe, ROM for other planets, which of course doesn't follow the same version rules ?

Can I use a 1.6.0 ROM from xda?, is it newer than the 1.6.6 ROM (it seams crasy but I really asking myself about this)

Is there an update for W2K3 ppc ? Where I can find my W2k3 version number (and I search also for my licence for this software, but this is another problem ...)

Do you have some links on my device, sometimes, when I go to myxda.com it seams to that they speak about a different device that the one I buy in HK

Thank you in advance for your help,

Guillaume

Hello Guillaume,

If you are living in Hanoi, Vietnam You can come to Wifi Cafe, 117 Mai Hac De street. There are a lot of pro here can help to answer your questions for free.

If you are in HCM City you can also go to another WIFI cafe or Piano Cafe.

Or you can call me at 090 347 6699 or Mr. Truong at Oracle Vietnam 9432 595. I am in Hanoi.

Or you visit www.handhelvn.com. It is in VNmese if it could help if you can read.

The latest ROM version so far is 1.72 supplied mu I-Mate. That I upgraded my XDA II to. The battery life improved and etc. . .

***** have also a clock problem, sometimes no alarm and the clock seams to be crasy (my time settings change during the night ...). For me, this is a basic features of a PDA: clock ! So also, don't trust your clock******

There are fix for this. The alarm features ...

**********Some times, without asking me, this device don't want to give me the screen (black screen) and when I remove the batery or when I press the soft reset button, It's doing a Hard reset ... *********

Your internal battery is dead, may be. Some time you installed new software that are conflict with current setting of the XDA II. So becareful with installing new software. Each software installation be sure to soft reset to make sure which software will cause problem....

I experienced it alot of time.

Regarding your question about ROM version, there are some ROM provided by O2, T-Mobile and I-Mate. Mine is I Mate Rom version 1.72 which so far i am happy with that.

It is hard to explain all the thing here. Visit my office some time.

Not sure if this is the right forum for this but I figured since it's about a theme id put it here. Thanks.

Nice theme! You'd probably need to recreate most of the images yourself due to low res though

You got that right. These new drawable-xxhdpi folders, almost everything has to be resized now even from a lot of the newer themes. I think they come up with all of this new stuff to keep us pulling our hair out...lol.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] iquit040:
looks like...

For the main part it looks like the inverted sense theme. With some neon green highlights and green icons... Shouldn't honestly be that hard to be done. If I get some more free time and get tired of dealing with spider man theme for a while, I wouldn't mind whipping that up. the current lock screen no longer has the sense 3/4 ring anymore though. I'll try and get to it sooner than later if possible and will keep you posted.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] JIannitti:
Haven't looked here in awhile. Thanks for the responses. I'm looking into recreating something similar with more white around the icons fitting for a key lime pie type theme. I think status bar icons and other elements would look great in lime green similar to this theme with a hint of white outlining them and dark backrounds. But I have no experience and I'm just lookin into where I should even begin.

^ Some info on the page is wrong, it is not 1280x720. And it is 1GHz.

I want to root it, I have spent hours trying to.

I have used SP flash tool to flash various CWM and ROMs for similar phones. The other ROMS never boot and CWM has "cannot mount /cache" error.

I have used the root .bat tool from Bin4ry. When the device restarts, it isn't rooted and no SU apk.

I have attached my build.prop.

[HTC Rezound] Tomhrbn:
Ugh. I have been having numerous problems with flashing CyanogenMod on my Rezound. When I first installed it I had wifi with no service. So I decided to wipe everything and install Cyanogen update and clockwork update through ROM Manager. That only made my problem worse, as it took away the ability of to connect to WiFi and after then if I tried to do anything on my phone for over two minutes the cyanogenmod bootup screen would pop back up. I thought this may be a ph98img issue so after finding what I thought to be the correct file and placing it on my sd card root I booted into hboot. The file was then found and asked if an update would be desire. After updating in Hboot, the phone rebooted and after the white htc screen it said that Android is upgrading. Apps were getting optimized. But when ever it even seemed to be getting closed to being complete, the cyanogenmod boot screen would appear and the process would start over.

I am unable to boot into recovery because hboot is always recognizing the file and wanting to update. What can I do?

Does anyone know for certain if you can connect the S3 and S4 together via Group Play? I've been trying without any luck. Even though the Group Play app on the S3 and S4 are similar, they are not the same. I'm hoping that Samsung releases a new version of Group Play for the S3 so it will be compatible with the new features of Group Play on the S4.

Can anybody else confirm the have or haven't successfully tried this?

I just got the G4 and I was playing around with it with all the menus. and I went into *#9090# and choose DM/RMNET/.. Over HS-USB. After it rebooted the baseband went unknown :/. Anyone know how to get it back? I tried flashing stock ROM and a master reset through recovery. Any idea at all?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mogkupopppo:
I just realized what is wrong but I don't know how to turn it back without the modem gets fully loaded. This is the log from the modem

05-12 16:15:38.519 528 528 E RIL-QC-NETMGR: netmgr_kif_ifioctl_open_port() failed for rmnet_usb0 on attempt 26

it seem like the QC is does not allow rmnet to open port on the usb. So turning it on will kill the modem :/. since modem is not fully loaded there is no imei and no baseband, however all data and files are correct so flashing is no good. anyone know how to change the setting back or maybe it is something in a file I can edit to change it back? any advice will help.

However once you find the video in that thread go to 10:10 in the video and checkout how many apps are installed. It's totally clean.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] mhouston100:
Good morning guys!

After buying one for my personal use months ago (best purchase ever) my department here at work just bought 150 P880's.

We have a small issue with our technicians who are trying to sync documents directly to the SD card, so my question is:

Is there any way to force the SD card to appear as a normal Windows drive? Rather then another 'Portable Media Player' with folders?

I've considered a few ways to do the sync (FTP server etc) but seems way to complicated. The company frowns on the use of cloud services like dropbox with good reason so that's not an option at the moment.

(All are running JB 4.2.1)
[LG Optimus 4X HD] gtdaniel:
Nope. At this time is not workaround to appear <Internal Memory> and <External Sdcard> as disks on Windows PC.

Only appear at subdisks of device <P880>.
[LG Optimus 4X HD] laufersteppenwolf:
You would need an option to mount the sd card as external storage, and not via MTP. But this is currently not supported from our kernels ;)

You actually need to read the tutorial. Its word for word, there's no video needed. If you are scared to do this don't do it. You will just mess up your device, which is more of a pain to fix. As always make sure you have a fastboot cable.

maybe I'm being stupid but when I try this on my rooted kfhd7 and type fastboot -i 0x1949 getvar product I get <waiting for device> then connect my device and nothing happens. tried this when device powered off as well. Any ideas?

thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
You don't have fastboot drivers. Did you install Android SDK and configure it properly? By that I mean installing the package, downloading the required components using the installer, and adding the path to system.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] rhodri11:
Hmm strange one this. I have tried using fastboot on my windows and linux system with the KFHD off and the when connected they still don't go into fastboot. Been told I could probably get away with using root toolbox and rebooting into fastboot that way?

In the mean time I have just followed step 2, backup the images on the kindle, and now it says to use FireFlash v1.1. I am running 7.3.0. Is FireFlash v1.1 okay to use with my version or will I have to do it the manual way?

Thanks
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
As I previously said, you don't have working fastboot drivers. Go back to the guide, in #5, and install Android SDK. Then the commands will work.

You can use FireFlash, but if you see the red letters warning you to flash the 7.2.3 bootloader once you open up the app, CHECK THAT BOX. The rest of the guide applies.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] rhodri11:
I am able to communicate with the kindle through adb commands but fastboot still not working. Have installed AndroidSDK on my windows 7 machine, extracted it, run and and made sure the tools, platform tools, and usb drivers were installed, which they are. Fastboot does run.. it just hangs there "waiting for device"

Sorry but have I missed a crucial step?

edit:

Have also tried fastboot using Linux android bundle (again, adb devices shows the kindle, but nothing from fastboot) and then tried sudo add-apt-repository ppa:nilarimogard/webupd8, updated everything then apt-get install android-tools-adb android-tools-fastboot. Again, run adb devices and it shows up, but fastboot doesn't work.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Strainer:
I would personally recommend to insert a warning in the first post to those than want to use this guide with the latest Amazon Firmware, as we now have 3 confirmed cases of bootloop occuring, which could be prevented.

I'm still waiting for my fastboot cable, what a frustrating experience.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] seokhun:
Apparently, you didn't read. Or can't. Very first part of the whole post.

"+Note: As of Amazon OS update 7.3.x+, there has been a lot of issues with rooting and flashing the 2nd-bootloader. Many users reported bootloops during the completion of the guide. Those with tablets running 7.3.0 or higher, please proceed with caution, and make sure you have a factory cable on hand if you wish to advance. I strongly recommend you make backups in Step 2. If you want guaranteed success, use this tool to revert back to 7.2.3 before using the guide."
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] psychoTR2:
So, is downgrading to Amazon OS 7.2.3 all that is needed to ensure success in installing TWRP or should I also flash the recovery that comes with the restore tool?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] LinearEquation:
More than likely you didn't downgrade the bootloader first. It also helps to just drop a ROM on the SD card brfor flashing so you have one in just such a case. You know how to side load a ROM onto TWRP?

[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Peeptastic:
I followed this guide to a T and it worked successfully on both Kindle Fire HDs'. Well, at least I think so. I have searched and messed around, but I can not find a way to boot back into Amazon... or is that not an option (I use a Touchpad with Android, so I am used to the boot options).

Am I able to boot back into Fire OS? Is there a simpler solution that I am missing? Thanks in advance.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] LinearEquation:
If you can't boot back into Amazon Os, you have a problem. This tutorial will boot you into an Amazon OS and then from there you flash a custom ROM. How big of a problem depends on whether or not you can boot into TWRP or not. Do you see a blue Kindle Fire splash screen when booting up? If you do then use this tutorial http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2459498 while in TWRP. If not, use the OP to perform a system restore and try again.

Edit: Unless you have a custom ROM already installed. Once you have a custom ROM installed, you will no longer have an Amazon OS.
[7" Kindle Fire HD Android Development] Peeptastic:
Thanks, I do have a custom ROM on here. I have CM11 installed on them and TWRP boot up just fine (so yes, I do get the Blue KindleFire splash screen:D). I wish I had done better reading, I didn't realize Amazon OS would disappear. Not a big deal, I just would have messed around with it a bit more before I lost that chance forever (at least until I go back to stock:eek:). Thanks so much for helping me.
