[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james_lpool:
Hi guys, i currently have an s2 rooted and with pac rom on it, its been a long time since i just rooted without using a custom rom though.

I am getting an s4 tomorrow and what i wanted to know is, can i just root my s4 and keep my current android version and then still have access to updates via kies?

At the moment i dont want to use any custom roms but want the root access.

Is there a preferred way to root the s4 that is currently recommended and fail safe?

I am in the UK if that matters at all?

thanks for any tips.

James
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tornado92:
you will loose root access if update
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uhu911:
you actually can update it manually with kies over usb. it will be unrooted afgerwards though

depending on your software version you can use the motochopper (mega easy) or the cf autoroot (slightly less easy)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Eambo:
As mentioned by Uhu, I can confirm that rooting and then using Kies will allow you to update - but you lose root and have to re-root.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james_lpool:
Thank you very much for the info, would the cf auto root be the better option?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tornado92:
cf auto root will keep you near to stock rom with stock recovery..:laugh::laugh: just adds the super SU:good::good:

I have tried cm7 but it is pretty slow and cause lag on games like subway surfers even when I overclocked it to 1.6 ghz and used Performance governor.

I would like to have your thoughts on it.

Which rom do you think I shall use for gaming?

Hi Everyone,

I just got my One this week with a Double Dip case. I have noticed already that the coating on the plastic, the coating which gives it that silky, rubberised texture, is flaking off on the bottom edges. (near the USB port).

Is anyone else experiencing this so soon?
[One (M7) Accessories] nookcoloruser:
Yep exactly the same here. I am not impressed with either of HTC's efforts. They have the looks, but the quality has been dire. The double dip hard case scratched my speaker grill, and the double dip black case is flaking at the edges.

Hi guys,

I'm really impressed by motion functions in Samsung, including double tap to top. However, I don't know whether those kinds of function really drain much battery or not?

Many have said that the flagship keeps working in order to identify when you tap to the top of it. Others contradicted it and stated that it just works when needed.

Does anybody explain more to me? :crying:
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nick Fury:
I use the feature alot but never had any noticable battery drainage so i think you are fine.

Its not a feature that is constantly in use so wont drain alot
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ducphamminh:
I also don't see any noticeable change in battery when using it a lot.

So maybe it's not on constantly?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
It means a sensor must be active whenever the screen is on. It will affect battery sure, but as to how negligible that is, who knows?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intrudar:
No never had such issue with my s3
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qtwrk:
As far as I know, this feature only works in Contacts and E-mail.

So I think only activate the sensors when you open these apps otherwise the sensors should maintain inactive

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] neotheghost:
Well many of you have trouble with "ON TOP" / layer apps like LMT - they are simply not working anymore in MIUI v5

so here is a solution :laugh:

Go to the app settings and enable pop ups.

Then go to the permissions manager and "TRUST" the app.

That will work. It worked for me with PIE Controls and Swipe Pad.

After cleanup the apps using recent apps, LMT not working.. We should lock this app from recent app

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Wonkit:
Now I know there are dozens of other posts stating that MP3's are not working, and yes I have googled and (xda'd?) it. But none so far have fix my problem. So the other day, when I downloaded an MP3 onto my phone, it wouldn't play. It was all fine and dandy until I realized that none of my MP3's would play. So from there, I tried a variety of common methods to try to fix this mess. I tried clearing the cache, formatted my sd card, deleted and transferred my music onto the phone (by the way, the MP3's DO work, I popped the sd into my cousins phone and my computer and they worked fine.), and factory reset. But for some reason, my ringtones still worked. That's when I realized that only MP3's under a a minute would play while others would not. So my question is how come my phone will only play MP3 files under a minute and how can I fix this? Please and thank you and I apologize if I broke any rules (I think I broke any from the video I just watched :p)

I'm on 4.1.2 Padawan ROM if it's relevant.

[EDIT] Well this may sound strange but I think it was my battery because I just switched batteries and now everything is working fine (except for occasional screen flickering but that's the result of 3rd party batteries (-_-#))
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] KSoD:
Have you tried a factory reset? I use MP3 files all the time. Even stream them via BT in my car to the stereo. Plays the entire song with no issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Wonkit:
Yes I have done a factory reset
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dweeezy:
\

My Guess is its the rom you're using. Try a different rom. Some roms do strange things. factory reset wont touch the rom, and if your problem is still there its your best shot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Wonkit:
It's definitely not the rom because I had the rom for a while and the mp3 function worked for a while. It's just after I downloaded an mp3 file it stopped working
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dweeezy:
do you have a backup to revert to from when you installed the rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Wonkit:
Well it definitely is not the rom at this point because it managed to survive CM10, oddly enough my ringtones which are actually longer than a minute still play. Is my music corrupted for only my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] dweeezy:
U can rule it out ifu want but if it were me id try flashing a diff rom and see what happens. It doesnt hurt to try. If the mp3s work in other phones its obviously a software issue with your phone whether its your music app or something else. Try downloading a diff app to play your music and see if that works.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Wonkit:
Maybe I was a bit vague, when I said "it survived", I meant the glitches. BTW Late response, but I stream MP3's over bluetooth as well, an A2DP headset to be exact.

Hi,

I've recently just smashed the front screen of my htc one x, the lcd is fine its just the outer glass (digitizer?) touch screen still works its just cracked. badly.

I noticed that on ebay they sell just the glass part for £10 and they sell the lcd and glass for £40 I obviously want to go for the cheapest option.

How do i got about removing and replacing the cracked glass with the £10 glass?

Thank you

I really hope there is a solution!

[About XDA developers] Dolphin87:
Hello everyone,

I hope u all having a nice weekend . First of all I'm not a developer i m just an advanced user and i have been benefited a lot from this forum since 2009 and its truly a Wikipedia

As u know developers are spending time money and effort for the sake of helping us and they don't get something in return for it . I m not saying they should or forcing people to do so . But i m just saying we need to show some kind of appreciation for them in order to let them deliver the best ... Cause i have seen examples of talented developers who became

under the spot and after a short period everyone forgets about them and what they have done to u and me .

Some developers gonna tell me it sounds like we are begging for money and we r shy to do so. Hell no , Consider it as a reword for the great work and a fuel to ur commitment.

My idea

1 - create a forum (section) for donating to developers.

2- each developer can can create his own thread welcoming people to donate . And representing his work in hyperlinks .

3 - this section must be placed at the top to this forum

4 - this section is suppose to locked .

-------

I know that some of u might disagree with me ... Feel free to explain why.

I m sorry for my bad writings

Hi -

I'm looking at purchasing a used USCC Galaxy S3 and have a few questions:

1 - Is it possible to flash any clean esn/imei USCC S3 over to Cricket? If not, is there anything to look for? (ie model number, Android or firmware version, etc).

2 - Is there anything that cannot be flashed over? (ie - I assume 4G isn't, unless I have a new 4G SIM card for it - but anything else that won't flash like MMS?)

Thank you - I would love to purchase this phone but if I end up not being able to flash I'm out a new phone for quite a long time.

i do it by moding boot.img all thing is correct only the ft5_ts.so touch screen driver can t be loaded caus the firmware buid 1.45r

i think , it s possible to do it. but what the way to rezise partition with cooking new image .

NB : juste i extract the original image and cooking it again without any modif. it aint boot (black screen)
[General Questions and Answers] fsebentley:
My first question is why do you want to do this ? If you want a 10 Partition firmware you need the 10 Partition structure... and if you want to load a 9 partition frmware you need the 9 Partition structure....

If you are trying to do this in order to make a particular firmware work on your device i would recommend changing drivers in the one you want to match your hardware and compiing them into a livesuite image for flashing.

If you are trying to mix them for more efficient use of space it likely will require that you insure all references to the block devices point to the correct partitions.... within the firmware I do not know all of the references but I do know that they are referenced in the Boot.img in several files incliding the init.sun5i.rc and a couple of the uevent files. In the system folder one place im sure refers to at least the internal and external SD cards and any usb storage devices is the vold.fstab in /system/etc there are likely other places in the system that reference the actual block devices. I would start by making sure they are all properly pointing to the correct nandx partitions..
