Everyone that is asking about the sensors, if you watch Google I/O you will see that Hugo pulls out a GS4 when announcing that there will be a Google version. That GS4 had exactly the same sensors as the normal model, from what I could see, all it may be missing is the IR Blaster.

It would simply be unpractical for Samsung to create a separate model altogether for Google. Despite this now potentially being the device all us Android and have fantasised about for years, it will not sell well.

For starters, it is not being sold through Google Play, and not through the carriers meaning that if people want it, they will have to purchase it through Play using money and not a subsidiary.

I personally think it will use the Snapdragon 600 Model, due to the fact that there are other devices on the market using this processor and having stock android on the GS4 will influence development. There are currently no other products on the market that setting the Exynos Quad.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mesaka:
New version on Android / sensors on the G4

Just a shot in the dark but either Android 4.3 or KLP is rumoured to be released later in I/O. Maybe that would be able to utilise some of the extra sensors that we have? It would also sort of make sense as generally new android versions are released with a small period of exclusivity on a "new" handset.
[Galaxy S 4 General] paddylaz:
I don't think people are worried about the sensors being there in a hardware capacity. I think people are worried the gestures/motion features will be disabled when on stock. Probably along with the various camera functions unique to the touchwiz version of gs4.

Hopefully this isn't the case......if devs have to create a hybrid rom to fix this then might as well save the trouble and stick with touchwiz after all.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jaaystott:
That's not what I was trying to hit at. People are worried that Samsung will be releasing a different hardware variant of the GS4 that will operate this Stock version of Android. What I'm trying to say is, there really is not much to worry about as our good friend Hugo nicely demonstrated that his phone is a normal GS4, exactly the same sensors, operating the stock version of Android. In regards to the touchwiz features, the hybrid rom would be useless. You might as well just install Nova launcher etc and do it that way. You'd get a very similar experience, just with slower updates. And I can assure you, that an official hybrid rom from Google incorporating TouchWiz Features like the Camera and Gestures with Stock Android, you'd be waiting an eternity for official updates for that too.
[Galaxy S 4 General] -A-P-M-:
I don't believe that Samsung would release sources of their latest CPU. Also Exynos Octa with LTE is only available in Korea, while US already got SGS4 with Snapdragon 600 and LTE.
[Galaxy S 4 General] climo:
Plus one for me also. These features is what separates the s4 apart from other phones. Without these its just another nexus device. Don't get me wrong I love pure android but as someone said it lacks flair. Although touchwiz is not the best it does bring a new set of features exclusive to the s4 at least for now. I was hoping it would include these features but without touchwiz UI. I guess for me I might just get the 9505 at least this way I have the option to swap between touchwiz and stock android.
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
I don't use any of the touchwiz software stuff so stock is good for me. Chuck CM on here when it's stable.
[Galaxy S 4 General] felek73:
Is there any rumors when the sources of GS4 software will be released ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Invalid_GR:
I like it. Even I probably won't get one cause I live in Euro land. Can't stop wandering though about the button layout. Will it be like Samsung : menu, home, back

Or like nexus :back, home, multi tasking.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
And better touchscreen and no wifi bug.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Aerys:
Guys, its the same device as most of us have (I9505) same sensors. buttons, everything. It will probably be I9507 or higher.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Spitniv:
Educated guess? where is this info from?

Im holding my wallet so hard not to run off to get the I9505 right now just because im afraid there might will be a hardware change between these devices...
[Galaxy S 4 General] pack21:
But someone here believes Sam would give better hardware to google than i9505? C'mom people, be realistic.

The google edition will be a i9505 with AOSP.
[Galaxy S 4 General] -A-P-M-:
If button layout would change, it would be called Nexus S4 or something like this ( like Nexus One - HTC Desire). This one got same hardware, with different software.

I was waiting for Motorola X news on Google I/O, but this is also very good news and I will defenetly get i9505 to get perfect stock Android experience :cool:
[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
Besides I don't think there even is better hardware available right now (except for small things like the mic).
[Galaxy S 4 General] Spitniv:
Do you think it would be possible to port the Stock android as a whole to the I9505? (from bootloader to software) in a way that it would be 100% like the one you get from google?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Aerys:
Google IO attendee.
[Galaxy S 4 General] sorg:
Since there is no info about CPU, everything is possible.

It may be Snapdragon version, or.. Let me imagine:

1) Definitely, this will be a limited version because said it's developer version.

2) Release date is 2 months later than original SGS4

So, to sum it together, it CAN be Exynos 5 Octa model with LTE (the same as Korean version). Limited version won't consume big Exynos quantity and at the same time will bring test platform to migrate whole Samsung market to Exynos CPU. Samsung requires more code challenge to make big.LITTLE architecture work more efficiently - opensource community can give a good chance for this.

Also, some time ago Samsung claimed they will provide source code for Exynos - so this is the right moment to do this.

So, don't exclude Exynos until spec is published.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Aerys:
Nah no Exynos:mad:
[Galaxy S 4 General] mathieulh:
It's most likely going to be a SGH-M919 (though probably baring another model number) as the I9505 does not handle the same Bands.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Spitniv:
psh... respect!

So what was the i9507 all about?

And do you think it would be possible to port the Stock android as a whole for the I9505? (from bootloader to software) in a way that it would be 100% like the one you get from google?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Aerys:
All I know is that the hardware is 100% similar compared to I9505. Im not sure it was I9507 or something else. But thats what I understood :silly:

And yes, I think we will be able to flash the factory image (available 26th june) on our I9505. But I dont know how we are going to flash it. They didnt said anything about any other device then I9507 :P
[Galaxy S 4 General] Spitniv:
Thanks!

Hope you are right
[Galaxy S 4 General] Aerys:
:cool:
[Galaxy S 4 General] mathieulh:
It definitely will not use the same baseband, the I9505 is not compatible with the LTE AWS and 17 bands while Google's edition of the galaxy S4 is.

The GT-I9505 is compatible with the following LTE bands: 1, 3, 5, 7, 8, 20

while LTE on AT&T and T-Mobile require the use of bands 4, 17 and 25, none of which are supported by the GT-I9505 devices.
[Galaxy S 4 General] climo:
Someone posted earlier it may be based on the T-Mobile S4 since it has LTE bands 1,2,4,5,7,17. This covers most of the US market of which the GE S4 is aimed at. As time goes on we should know more about the official specs.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mathieulh:
That would have been me: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=41483241&postcount=137

In fact the SGH-M919 uses the exact same hardware as the SGH-I337 with a different QFuses configuration and a different nvdata (the one on the SGH-I337 prevents the use of Bands 1,2,5 and 7 (so only bands 4 and 17 used by AT&T can be used), it is, in theory, possible to enable the bands from the SGH-M919 on the SGH-I337 by modifying the nvdata (this is a risky procedure) using tools such as QPST and QXDM. (It may be possible to enable even more officially unsupported bands on other Qualcomm based Galaxy S4 handsets using these).

The fact that the SGH-I337 baseband and bootloader are locked down is nothing but an attempt from AT&T to keep you from changing networks/carriers and using competitors' services. (and has nothing to do with warranty, RMA and whatnot)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Entropy512:
Wrong. It is not yet confirmed to have all of the benefits of a Nexus.

All we know is that it will have stock Android. NOTHING MORE.

GOOGLE HAS NOT SAID A SINGLE THING ABOUT AOSP SUPPORT FOR THIS DEVICE.

AOSP implies stock Android, but NOT the other way around.

If it's not supported in AOSP, it will barely be any different than any of the existing Snapdragon GS4s - all reasonably supportable by CM and other aftermarket AOSP bringup efforts thanks to CAF. (And, for this reason - AOSP support will be a "nice to have" if it's a Snapdragon variant.)

If it's supported in AOSP to the same level as the NS and N10, AND it's an Octa (highly unlikely) - that's the combo that might make me give Samsung another chance.

It IS possible - see 5250 support in the N10 and 3110 in the NS. Just HIGHLY unlikely. 95%+ chance it'll be a Snapdragon, if it even has AOSP support.
[Galaxy S 4 General] BennyJr:
Right but this phone isn't due for another month. Why the delay just to put a snapdragon device out when they are already making tons of them. There has to be something special.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Aitch:
Will these be available to buy in the UK? Will they price with the same discount as the LG? £600 minus 30% = £420?
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
Samsung announced clearly: It will be available only in US, through Google Play
[Galaxy S 4 General] msavic6:
Oh well apparently Google will not be selling the Google S4 on the Canadian Play Store. It isn't worth the hassle for me to import it from the states. I'll just hope the awesome devs can port the stock android build to the regular S4's.
[Galaxy S 4 General] komugi:

[Galaxy S 4 General] megagodx:
I don't understand why people fawn over the stock Android interface. It looks outdated and plain. I think(opinion) TouchWiz actually looks more aesthetically appealing with its interface and modern (although, it's growing weary in its own rite) - while not all the features on TW are useful, a lot of them are, and aren't available on the ASOP rom.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Aerys:
I don't understand why alot of newbs misspell AOSP all the time -.-'
[Galaxy S 4 General] paddylaz:
it's the lack of lag/stutter that people like.

It depresses the hell out of me to buy the gs4 and realize that benchmarks mean absolutely nothing in the 'real world'. - The nexus 4 runs rings around it. Most people are of the opinion this is due to stock.
[Galaxy S 4 General] RobertHavens:
It's no worse than not being able to spell "a lot" correctly. :laugh:
[Galaxy S 4 General] PlutoDelic:
I think Entropy512 first post makes a lot of sense, and so do all other posts of his :p.

Definitely, Exynos and AOSP would be a game changer, but i doubt the AOSP part of it, and as it was noted here, there is no evidence of AOSP guarantee from Google.

On the other hand, i see a win-win situation. Google is making use of wonderful hardware, especially in the sensors area, while samsung could be trying to deliver something to it's hardcore users as a truce.

I may be wrong, in fact, the chances that im wrong are high, but im just pointing out that Samsung may be taking two things under consideration: Sony's system with its openness and the communities requests for Drivers/Sources.

Samsung is not trusting us the sources, but hell they would trust them to Google...wouldnt they?
[Galaxy S 4 General] respider:
yeah no one can state anything until google says it will be an AOSP device, but after all that open sourc and "positivity" talk, I believe it's very likely.
[Galaxy S 4 General] demlasjr:
No = not :p hahaha. Let the chain continue (just trolling)

I honestly like Tw more than AOSP. It's fast enough, not as much but it's because of its features. I rather have more features than 0000,1 seconds faster phone.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Jeshter2000:
AndroidCommunity says it is the quad core....

Sent from my Octaaaa! GT-I9500
[Galaxy S 4 General] Warrimonk:
Even though there is a very high chance it will be the S600 variant, I really hope that is isnt. I don't get why everyone is hoping it is the S600 model, when the Exynos model would be a much bigger deal.

1. The Exynos model could support the proper LTE frequencies with the correct radio hardware installed.

2. The S600 version already has made a ton of progress with CM10 (especially the Canadian model). People are already using it as a daily driver. By the time June 26th comes around it will be even more stable, and perhaps on the locked variants.

3. They would be the only retailer in NA to sell the i9500 version, making it a unique device

I have a feeling it would sell much better if it was the i9500, as it would be completely standout from the rest of the SGS4s on the market. If it is the S600 variant, it seems almost completely pointless.

One can only hope.
[Galaxy S 4 General] :
It's the 600 confirmed by Engadget. Same expect specs as my I9505.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Shammyh:
Those of us with SD600s hope that indeed it's the snapdragon variant, which it almost certainly will be.

Basically guarantees updates, rom/kernel development, and honestly, app development for effectively the life of the device.

Might not be a big deal to you, but as an owner of the AT&T model, it's quite a big deal to me.

[MENTION=1962866]Warrimonk[/MENTION], it will be a Google phone, a "Nexus" one. Google is a US company, Qualcomm too. Which phone you think they will choose? Seriously now.

Samsung is not even able to release a proper code for they cpu.

Google gives no **** about the Exynos
[Galaxy S 4 General] respider:
I'm sorry for noobness but how can they say it has a qualcomm chip?

Are there any kind of info about this in about settings?
[Galaxy S 4 General] runedrune:

[Galaxy S 4 General] Toss3:
Why? It was pretty obvious from the start that it was going to be an exact copy of the i9505.
[Galaxy S 4 General] respider:
Why is that?

i9505's LTE doesnt work in USA frequencies
[Galaxy S 4 General] Entropy512:
Actually it doesn't mean that much if it's a Snapdragon variant.

If it is AOSP-supported - It's nice but not a HUGE deal since Snapdragon S4 and Snapdragon 600 are already very well supported by Qualcomm with reference source at CodeAurora.

If it's not AOSP-supported (still no word on whether it will be), it'll be just like any other Snapdragon based GS4 in terms of AOSP bringup difficulty (not particularly difficult thanks to being Qualcomm.)
[Galaxy S 4 General] -A-P-M-:
If Google's SGS4 got identical hardware to i9505, then it should be easy to port and flash its firmware on regular i9505 right? If this is true, then SGS4 could became the best supported non-Nexus phone...

[Galaxy S 4 General] ant987:
I think there's no reason why this version shouldn't get AOSP support! I mean, it is basically an S4 thought for developers, that's why it has the unlocked boatloader, so it is very likely to get the AOSP support!

Good length and the right angle plug make it less likely to catch on things.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] jabronimike:
Troute,

Do you use this with your Nexus 7? Because I've heard that some microUSB cables' pins on the connector aren't long enough to reach into the Nexus 7's and that's why the microUSB cable I'm using now is so flimsy. Do you know anything about that?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] vietkao:
Theoretically It must work, because the OTG cable we are using is micro USB B to USB female.

I think some people must got their cable from a bad store that cause the defect you're talking about

I recently got s-off, updated from 1.15 to 2.06, installed abp and also flashed a no ads zip file for good measure because some ads would still get through. Everything was going great until the phone randomly froze. I held down the power button and rebooted into recovery and cleared my cache and dalvik cache, thinking that may have been the problem. Upon rebooting after that, I come to find out I've lost my root access. This is so weird. I am still s-off and have the 2222222 confirmation shown when I am in the bootloader, I still have super user installed, but when I run an app that needs root, such as adaway, it says I don't have root. I downloaded root checker and it confirmed that I didn't have root. I don't understand how this could have happened. Is there anyway to regain root? I have been having the worst luck with this phone :\
[HTC Droid DNA] CharliesTheMan:
Send me a PM if you want me to help you out. You need to install a custom recovery and use that to install a rooted rom and kernel. It can be a stock rooted rom. Or mostly stock however you want to do it, I'll help you set it up and teach you some things along the way.

I can teach you all kinds of things via team viewer, it wont take long and it's a necessity for having a rooted phone in my opinion. I know it can be frustrating and over whelming but it will get better I promise.

Oh and also you don't need to worry about losing s off. It's at a much lower level than anything you've mentioned touching. So it will always be there regardless because you definitely don't want to be messing with hboots or s off type stuff.

HTC EVO CyanogenMod Cant use BEATS AUDIO

I need help with rooting my HTC EVO to stock or CyanogenMod. With CyanogenMod my phone will not play audio/BEATS or will not open

[HTC Droid DNA] cyaclone:
How to get root back after subsequent apps are denied root?

Over the last year, this has happened several times while having different custom roms installed. It happened several times with my Galaxy S4 and S5, and recently with my Galaxy Tab S 10.5. I have not lost root on my Nexus 7 (2013). The common denominator appears to be the Samsung devices.

Through SuperSu, I have removed root, rebooted, and installed root again with CF-Root which has not given me root access.

The only way I have been able to recover to date is to do a factory rest. It is interesting to note that I would have thought that the factory rest would take me back to the Samsung rom but in the last two time that I did this on either device, I ended up with the custom rom that I just had but without root or custom recovery.

To go back to a Samsung rom, I would think that if I started the device in download mode and did a flash with odin.

But rather than go through this, is there a reason why this happens and/or is there a way to avoid it?

Lastly, is there a true way of getting root back once it stops granting root?
[HTC Droid DNA] santod040:
Best to post such things in your device specific forum.

This forum is for the Droid DNA.

However, gaining root is as simple as downloading the latest SuperSu zip and flashing it in recovery.

Very simple to do on any rom.
