a thread about it

a possible reason why not is that i believe CF are faster

another reason is if there is no demand nobody will develop anything

another reason is that SD are small and CF are big so an adaptor would break easy
[Off-topic] Carlos:
SD cards have a 4-bit data path while CF are 8, 16, or 32.

SD sucks ass. I can't believe we're having this foisted on us for the sake of a few millimeters.
[Off-topic] Rudegar:
but you could make a converter which would take in the bigger bit sized and split them but that too would cost speed and if timing was a big thing for the cf card in question it may even time out thinking that the sd card converters slowing down was due to an error
[Off-topic] Carlos:
You "could" make a converter to turn dog turds into petrol, but what would be the cost? Who would buy it? How many people want it.

My point is that it's not as easy as say a CF to PCMCIA adapter, or even PCMCIA to SD. Plus very few people would be interested in having an SD to CF adapter.

I ordered my AT&T HTC One via phone so I can get them to price match costco's $129 which they did for me (customer since 2006). Ordered 5/12/13 received 5/14/13. I've pretty much been a lurker on XDA but I feel like people should know what they're getting into.

Obviously I did my hw and first thing I did was check for defects. I waited for the black in hoping to avoid QC issues. Here is what I found for this phone:

1. Although the top of the phone had no issues, there was definitely a gap on the bottom. The tiny gap went from the left side and gradually got wider moving to the right towards the micro usb connector. Dust was already lodged in 5 min after opening.

2. My finger caught slightly when sliding from the top speaker onto the screen.

3. The "edge" or "ledge" on the top left, where the screen, speaker grill, and bezel meets was noticeably different than the other four corners. It seemed as if it wasn't cut properly.

Hoping that the HTC one would replace my iphone 5, I simply couldn't justify switching to product that is ALMOST perfect (to each their own regarding OS, if you don't like sense flash over it). Took it to an ATT retail store and the sales associates were more than glad to replace my phone. Luckily they had one in stock, this was the only store within 10 miles of San Francisco with the black one in stock.

She opened the box and upon inspections we found issues 1 and 3 listed above and the FRICKING camera lens was pushed in sideways :eek:

I wanted to take pictures but I felt like I've already wasted so much time and energy with this crap that I was just glad to get my money back and leave. I got a full refund and they replaced my upgrade.

HTC please get your **** together. No need to be bold or quietly brilliant, just be amazing and stand behind your products. You designed it right, now make it right.
[One (M7) General] Nickel Dime Bay:
Only store within 100 miles of SF? You're joking right? Most of the stores here in the East Bay have them I stock. Was in Palo Alto and most stores had them also, use the availability checker on att.com
[One (M7) General] fffssslll:
ops meant 10 miles. The closest one is in Corte Madera which is 11 miles out of where I am, not to mention I have to cross bridge and deal with traffic. Understand that the store in SF only had 1 in stock, well two now.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] steven_franklin:
should i install it, and will it take my root away?:confused:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] FanOfSkynyrd:
If you have a custom recovery I do not think it will install. But to be safe, using root explorer (or similar app) go to /cache and delete the update zip, and then go to /etc/security and delete otacerts zip.

You should then be able to accept the update notification a count down timer will start but since you deleted the update zip nothing should happen.

According to the thread, the S4 is not listed under the "supported phones" list, however, the OP of this thread I am listing states that if you Email him, he will consider porting support. It already works for the S3 and many other devices so it shouldn't take much if anything to make it work with the S4. I suggest you read the entire thread before trying anything or asking questions.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] kirkman81:
I have tried my best to search the forums for this so if I missed it being mentioned somewhere I do apologize. I'm trying to be extra careful because the only reason I even have a Bionic is because my friend gave me her used one after my Rezound died and I don't want to lose another phone. Basically, when she had it she updated it to ICS using a leaked ota because of data connection issues. It fixed the issues, but now the phone can't be updated using the official JB OTA. My question is can the ota be flashed somehow. I don't need the phone to be rooted (my Rezound was so if I absolutely have to I can do it), I would prefer just to be on stock 4.1.2. I'm including a screen shot so everyone can see what version I am running. I've only had the phone a day so I appreciate the info. I'm not a develeoper, but I can certainly flash ROM's no problem.

Thanks in advance everyone!

Use the house of bionic with the 98.72.22 fxz and use the fxz keep data option. I will warn you before using the HoB that you need to read, then read again, before doing. Follow all instructions and you'll end up on stock 4.1.2 without losing your apps or data.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ricktat:
You will have less to worry about because there will only be 10 people there to follow the rules.

The real reason that there are useless threads is because there are so many people checking in here. Most aren't your normal XDA member. Most just bought the phone and want to hang out somewhere to talk about it. They have no idea that the phone black clips, lags, or has a locked bootloader. They read threads, find problems that they weren't aware of and then ask questions.

These people also keep the numbers up and view the advertising that XDA needs to survive. So its not all one sided.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
Just a heads up with the compass on the S4. I noticed that the compass on my S4 wasn't working. I tried it with several apps including ISS Detector, Mobile Observatory, and GPS status. It just sat there, not showing the correct direction. I then used "GPS Status and Toolbox" (available in the Play store) to calibrate the compass. I just followed the directions and it worked. I now have a working and accurate compass. I would have figured it should have worked fine out of the box and was about to return it when I tried this. I also would have thought they would include an internal means to calibrate it...but I guess not. So you might want to check and see if your compass is actually working out of the box or if you need to calibrate it.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aitch:
Is it normal to need the compass recalibrating every day? Seems every time I fire up a compass application, ir is out of whack!

Is there a permanent solution?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
I've had to calibrate mine several times. I haven't found a permanent solution. As long as I calibrate it when it acts whacky, it works fine. It only takes a few seconds. Sometimes I have to do it a couple of times per week, and sometimes I only need to do it once a month or so. I guess it depends on how often you use functions that involve the compass. Regardless, apps like Maps and Navigation work just fine even when the compass isn't calibrated. I guess they get their directions and data in a different way. It's not a huge problem, I guess the compass in the S4 just isn't very strong.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aitch:
Are all S4's like this? I used to have a case with magnets (which I don't use now) so could that have messed up the compass?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] htcplussony:
There's something wrong with the compass in google maps.

When google maps is 2d mode where maps are displayed with north at the top on the phone, the arrow on the blue dot is suppose to point to north but I find things seem to be 'doubled'. If I slowly rotate the phone, the arrow rotates doubled by the amount rotated. Example rotate the phone by 90 degrees, the arrow rotates by 180 degrees instead.

But google maps in compass mode, compass seem to work fine as it is displayed correctly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] redglyph:
This tool doesn't change anything here.

I think it's more likely to be (somewhat) accurate when the GPS has the optimal satellite visibility configuration, but most of the time it's just plain random. Always has been on all devices I could check.

UPDATE - if this forum thingy allows me to :P

Realized the cover was using a magnet to keep closed, it's a really silly design flaw! Now it's behaving better (if not very accurate but that's to be expected).

Bit of help here: check with *#0*#0 then Sensors to see whether your compass needs calibrating or not. If it does, it's written in the small black compass view, in the magnetic sensor area.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Lowerexley:

Nice one thanks! Compass was totally inoperative until I used app to calibrate. Works perfect now! Galaxy S4 9505
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] ladyhaly:
My compass constantly needs recalibration... So frustrating. And it doesn't recalibrate correctly even though I have tried to do it both via GPS Status and *#0*#. I just look stupid for a long amount of time with my hands and arms getting tired because of this inadequate compass in my S4. Never had this problem with my three previous HTCs. Quite like Samsung to give me a bad phone among hundreds of batches. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Tufigul:
Could it be S View cover

I have the same issue with mine guys but not solved yet. I think the reason is s view cover...

I opened GPS status and toolbox and put the phone on desk. and I move and rotate the s view flip cover that makes compass to rotates as well ...

Has anyone tried this? Please give me your comments so that I should rectify it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] axelpix:
S-view cover uses a magnet to operate the hall sensor that detects the cover open/close state.

NO Compass on earth will ever work correctly with a magnet close to it.

I noticed the issue with the constantly loosing calibration of the magnetic sensor on different devices with 2013 Qualcom Snapdragons. Namely Samsung S4 (Snapdragon 600), S4 mini (400) and Sony Z (800) have this issue. Looks like a problem with the sensor on the SoC itself beeing too weak.

Had a HTC Desire S before that never needed a compass calibration.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jeanz06:
Thanks for this! Did not really know that the sview cover has magnets in it..

Before i tried calibrating with the sview flipped at the back of the phone - but this never worked until I have read that sview has magnets. I removed the sview then run the calibration using GPS Status, then it worked after! Replaced back the sview and run the compass app again but this time the sview cover is opened on the side so as not to affect the sensitive magnetic sensors and it seems to work fine. Just keep the sview open (not flipped at the back) and somehow its doing fine..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mihaelb:
Thanks everyone for the tips! I was about to do a warranty replacement (and dreaded having to reconfigure a new/reset phone again).

before even doing the *#0 thing and installing the app, I just rotated the phone through its three axis, and that worked. The S-View case is probably the culprit and got it jammed somehow.

Did the app thing mentioned above as well just incase afterwards, will see if problem returns.

thanks again, guys!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Kyle.Z:
awesome

Thanks for your help! will definitely try this later!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Aleziss:
how ???

Can you guys tell me how you did the calibration ?

I've tried to follow the instructions (rotate 1-2 time on 3 axis then press OK in GPS Status & Toolbox) and it did not worked.

I've tried the *#0*#0 thing in "sensor", I see a black compass with a blue arrow pointing up with the number 3 written in the black circle. When I hit "self test" it report PASS.

I see magnetic values x,y and z changing when I move the phone but the azimuth, pitch and roll all show 0 zero regardless of the position of the phone.

I try to use apps that need the compass (google sky map for example) but it's always stuck to north.

I am not sure I understand this correctly on how to calibrate the compass ?!

I've even read on another forum that the guys was "driving" his phone flat on is hand is an 8 motion and it fixed his compass issue but nothing that I tried did fix that issue.

I run 4.4.2 stock on my i337

Any "pointers" ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] electricpete1:
I used to have problems calibrating with calibrating using GPS toolbox trying to follow instructions to "rotate around each of three axes"

What did NOT work for me: I attempted to rotate continuously (past 360 degrees and keep going) around each axis. Similar to this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oNJJPeoG8lQ

What DID work for me: I rotated 180 degrees back and for around each axis (without going past 180 degrees). Similar to this video:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rak2xhnk0qE

It still drifts out of calibration every once in awhile. But I can fix it now using technique of 2nd video.

Note - when it's out of cal, the direction of north is "unstable"... seems to vary as I move my phone around (doesn't point in a constant direction). When it's in cal it always points a predictable direction, similar to a real compass.
