[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] teof95:
Hello everyone

I m working for a mobile company (Wind telecomunications) in Greece and we recently recieved in the store a demo unit of S4. All the other devices we used to recieve were proper phones with proper functionality. It is the first demo unit we recieved (no imei on device) so I would like to know if there is any way to transform it into a normal device. I read some articles on internet about demo units. Some of them saying that flasing a rom solved the issue but some others say that demo units lacking the antenna. Probably mine is missing the anntena as well because I tried to put a sim card and there was no response from the phone. Moreover by calling 112 the phone says that couldnt deliver the call.

So... Propably is antena problem. I would like to know if it is possilble to order and antenna part from ebay (or other) and istall it to the device along with firmware installation or demo unit can be used only as a tablet without sim.

(Important! I am not stealing the device but I am about to use it after it gets off from the live demo wall.)

Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
i dont think you can buy just the antenna. you best bet would be to get a broken galaxy s4 from ebay and scrap it for the part you need.

and even then i dont know if you are able to transfer the antenna. Someone with more knowledge about hardware could clarify if its even possible
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] george241312:
Hmm i would try flashing stock firmware and use a tool to repair the imei not going to mention the tool here ,...go to a cell phone shop say imei repair they might help u ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] teof95:
The problem is not the imei repair but if the device can be used like that or not. If someone knows what exactly is the problem and how it can be repaired.

s4 demo unit

hi

i have the same problem, an s4 demo and i can tell you that you nedd an anttena and maybe an other motherboard.

i ve buy an antenna on ebay for 11$ and i will try to place it ....

After that i ll tell you if it s good or not

sorry but i m not english

i know that because i have already this probleme on a s3 demo and after buy an antenna il change the motherboard generally on a broken phone (price of the screen is so expensive that you can have one for not very expensive...)

Good luck ....

i am new to this device but i am not new to xda. i just picked up this device recently and im coming from the huawei ideos x6 forum. i am very familiar with odin and know how to use it. i was reading on the root thread and found that i have to go back to jfd 2.1 with odin. in the root guide i downloaded odin but the stock files i need to put into odin to flash are not there. can anybody be so kind to point me where i can find them? i am wanting to go to jelly bean which i have now on my other device and would like to use this device as my daily driver instead of my other. is there an easier way to get where i need to go? my goal is to have the latest cwm recovery and be running a jelly bean rom. any suggestions on how you guys think i should get to the point where i need to be? and my device is currently unlocked. thanks guys and all suggestions and opinions are greatly appriciated.

Oh i forgot my current software details are;

Model number: SGH-T959

Firmware Version: 2.1-update1

Baseband Version:T959UVKA2

Kernel Version: 2.6.29

Build Number: ECLAIR.UVKA2
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iTz KeeFy:
Yes you should to go back to stock then you can flash JB, it takes two flashes to successfully flash JB (first flash upgrades cwm). As for the files to revert to stock with Odin, you can find them here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/605-guid...nja-apps-everything/page__p__11106#entry11106 (they are located 8th post down if the link doesn't directly take you there). Note, after flashing to stock you will need the update.zip B (from the root/odin sticky) on your internal sd card which will give you cwm on stock , then you can flash JB (remember to flash twice). You can also find the stock JFD files in the bible thread , go herehttp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1982728 and click ROMS, then click stock JFD at the bottom of the list. You may need to unlock your phone again after going to stock, if so go here http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour...lIDoBg&usg=AFQjCNGhnJw3ZNH4_1OmhoQ9kfkjeYaf5Q and download galaxy s unlock , to unlock your phone again.

Hello. My question is very simple.

What is BTTools, what is usefull, and where can I download it? :?:

Solve it Bluetooth problems?

Thanks in advance :wink:
[Networking] PTD:
Yes it solves some problems, but you get new ones for free :?

http://bluetooth.i-networx.de/index_e.html
[Networking] KKtheK:
OK, I have downloaded and installed BTTools on my XDA-II device but I have a problem with a BlueTooth device.

The device is a portable bar-code scanner of the trademark Baracoda.

The model is BL1000: http://www.baracoda.com/baracoda/products/p_2.html

I have installed BTTools cause this device works with bateries and have power save: past one minute it disconnect the BlueTooth connection with PDA and once started again not comunicate the bar-codes with PDA but is present.

The problem is that not works with BTTools.When I discover new devices through BlueTooth it discover the device but the selector screen of COM only I have as selection COM7.

I have tried before install BTTools and the device only works using the default COM5 port of Outbound COM port (BlueTooth Configuration). I think to work with BL1000 and BTTools I need that this port it be COM7 or instead that BTTools allow me select COM5 as COM port for comunication. Is it possible?

This device has an auxiliar program for translate the information of the BL1000 to PDA. http://www.baracoda.com/baracoda/products/p_9.html called Kemul.

Inside it you can configure a virtual port of Master device and Slave device but not work. If I use BTTools I select:

Slave: COM8

Master: COM7 (the COM assigned by BTTools)

This configuration not work

If I uninstall BTTools the device works and comunicate with XDA-II but the net time that the device switch off automatically not works.

I don´t understand what is happened or how I have to configure to work with BTTools.

Thanks in advance

Hi People...

Today I dropped my XZ at the office, it wasn't a big drop - and it was onto carpeted floor. The phone was fine, no scratches and the screen stayed on.

I gave it the once over, and deemed everything fine.

I left work, paired my bluetooth headphones - listened to music for 30 mins, checked some emails etc. Everything was completely fine.

Then I get home, again - all is fine. Then I get the phone out of my pocket, click the side button to turn the screen on - and I get nothing.

The notification LED isn't working either (when I plug into power, I get nothing)

I know it's working - I get see the screen in direct sunlight. I can unlock the phone - and use it. I have no backlight, or notification LED and it's very, VERY hot.

This is looking like a hardware issue due to the drop - but it was FINE for a good 2 hours after dropping it.

What do you guys think?

EDIT: I should add that when I look at battery stats, I see at the point I got the issue, the power graph just drops off to 0. The phone is plugged into the wall, and is not charging the battery. I can see that it's trying to - but the heat tells me something is not right, and it's draining power as fast as it can charge.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SXUsr:
I would say it's obvious, Insurance or a Service Centre for you I think, but if there's no marks from the drop on the carpet try and claim it under Warranty, just say it stopped working.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
Try the hard shutdown,vol up +power for 15 second until you feel 3 vibrations.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BR4DOKYBrazil:
This resets the settings and delete applications?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gm007:
No it's like removing the battery and put it back.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adamsweeting:
Yeah... Tried the 3 vibration thing like 3 times. Still nothing.

I really think it's hardware - the fact that it's super hot says it all. I turned it off, and even 20 mins after it's still hot.

I'm totally bummed. Only had it 3 weeks.

I'm going to let it cool down completely, and then give it a charge - but I think it's off to the Service Centre for me.

EDIT: The plot thickens.... I've let the phone cool down completely, and I've just plugged in the charger - and the charge LED is on. This was not happening before. Odd
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myname70:
Hi, after flashing some ROMs (Omega) the phone booted normally, installed some apps and rebooted. But after that, the phone stay at Samsung GalaxyS4 screen and no furhter movement... I flashed new Stock ROM via ODIN with NO errors, but again when booting, it stay at Galaxy s4 screen... Tried and flash the PIT file with the stock ROM as well, but the same.. after the flash, it strat rebooting, and stuck on the Samsung GALAXYS4... Any ideas what to do?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] artnada:
Boot into recovery - home/vol up/ power wipe cache, factory reset etc then look for your default firmware from sammmobile and use odin to flash.

Don't mess with pit you will just screw it up doing stuff like that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tornado92:
firstly flash a new stock rom using odin without pit.. then do a factory reset in recovery:p:p
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myname70:
Of course I tried to do this first... But I cannot go into recovery mode. While holding the three keys, the phone vibrated, screen went black... and that is. When release the keys it starts booting but not to go into recovery.. Tried to flash the stock recovery via odin. It flashed, but again - cannot go into trecovery
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runedrune:
Try flashing other things with Odin. Like a kernel or CWM recovery. Something might work. :p
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myname70:
After many tries, I could managed to enter the Recovery mode . It showed no mount of /data... but after Wipe it worked :)

[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
I'm using this version, It is really good. Smoother than before. From now on, I only suggest version 3.5.3 and 3.5.10! Just try and you will see!
[HTC Incredible S] roaydempsey:
Well thanks for your effort for posting and make management

how about the facebook log in issue

should i delete the host file as before?

or its now been fixed?

thanks again
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
I'm sorry but due to my country's freaking rules, Facebook and Tweeter are Blocked. You can use Add Blocked app for the host files but I believe it is fixed right now. BTW, don't forget to over clock you CPU to 1.5GHz for better results!

Hope I've helped!
[HTC Incredible S] srv.abhishek:
Yes 3.4.19 was laggy but the latest version is quite smooth....
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
Yeah Man! As I said, The last two versions were awesome!
[HTC Incredible S] pec0ra:
It's the same version as in the other thread so yes !

Btw why make a second thread ? There is already an active thread in general section which is often update.
[HTC Incredible S] vieose:
Waiting for MIUI with Tesco kernel.
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
I thought that ROMs are usually added in the development section, So, I added this one in here!
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
I'm not sure if it is going to come soon.
[HTC Incredible S] roaydempsey:
its really wired when i set the language in traditional chinese

Try the Multilingual version. There is a link in 1st post
[HTC Incredible S] diabloevagto:
dose Traditional Chinese include ?

edit.

i find the answer
[HTC Incredible S] hassanhm:
Thank you ! but ...

Thank you so much for your post ! this ROM is amazing , and it is sad that no one is paying much attention for it :/ !

well , version 5.10 is smother than the others , but yet have a bug witch was not present before until it showed up in the 5.3 version , witch is when you long press the home button for the clear cache screen , it just blur for a second and no thing happens , you will have to keep trying for about 6 - 8 times to get the screen :/ !

add on that the kernel it self is very bad , load of bugs spicily when it comes to the third party apps such as Viber / Tango / Skype etc ... , so we are all waiting for the TESCO kernel by "szezso" ^_^ ! i have contacted him recently and he informed me that he is doing his best :) ! so expect an awesome surprise soon guys ! :D !

Many thanks once more ^_^ !
[HTC Incredible S] Nirvanico:
I have a problem with Google+ , when I try to log in I had a "No connection error"...why?

Wifi is working :)
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
This home button bug has been here since the last 3-4 releases and yeah, like it or not, it is bug. About the new kernel, I'm not sure if it is going to come soon, but if it is, you can inform me for adding the new links!
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
I'm not sure about that cause G+ is blocked by my country's freaking internet service. Maybe there is a problem with your google account. Have you added it in the Settings>accounts?
[HTC Incredible S] ralphodog:
I can't get any SIP client to work with this ROM. Native one has problems with horribly choppy audio, Sipdroid can't access the microphone, and CSipSimple breaks the audio. This is the only ROM where I have problems with any of these.
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Then use CyanVivoX or CyanVivo10.1
[HTC Incredible S] ralphodog:
I'm not sure why you're bothering to comment if you aren't going to offer anything constructive.
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
New links added to the OP. Enjoy!
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
Because if it only doesn't work on this and only this ROM, then its clearly ROM related or app related and there isn't really much we can do on our side. You either email the developer of the app or inform MIUI of such a bug and maybe they can help you. If its really that important to you then, just use a ROM where the app actually functions.
[HTC Incredible S] ralphodog:
My point is that the reason why many of these threads are full of **** and unnavigable is because so many people feel the need to post vapid, unconstructive comments. Please stop contributing to that problem. I posted a bug and was hoping to get feedback or bring it to the attention or developers. Not get a snarky response.
[HTC Incredible S] vieose:
You got a feedback from people who using and flashing things on this device for months or years.

We can't do anything against that because this ROM just won't support it. We can just guess what could be a possible way to fix it.

Nobody on XDA built the ROM, you can read this in the first post. Did you?

Our response was: forget it on this ROM. If you really need that function on this ROM, go send a message to the developer (like someone already said here) or built it yourself.

I don't want to be rude, but we can only provide information about things we know. And nobody here knows how to enable SIP on this ROM. Most people here don't even know what SIP is.

If you badly need it, change ROM or Device, SIP works flawless on SGS 2 or even the IPhone.

Wish you a nice day.
[HTC Incredible S] Nirvanico:
just a question now this rom support trickster mod setting after boot? :)
[HTC Incredible S] vieose:
I have no Idea, try it out :)
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
You are totally right, Bro! Don't bother yourself. As you have said, I have written in the OP that I'm not the developer of this ROM and no one else in this forum is, either. So, if anyone has any problem with this ROM, announce it to the other guys but PLEASE!!! don't expect a 100% working solution for your problem, BTW, one of the guys has sent the TESCO kernel to MIUI developers and they haven't add the thing into the new release so, they are not co-operating then don't expect others to be so helpful to you guys.
[HTC Incredible S] poondog:
It crashes when you press menu in the app as far as I remember
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
Mine didn't crash but even after I'd set it on boot, after rebooting, it still wasn't working and I had to add all of the configurations again.
[HTC Incredible S] Nirvanico:
the same problem I have see on my rom :D:D
[HTC Incredible S] ralphodog:
Another person who can't understand a basic point! If you don't understand the problem or can't offer a constructive solution - don't post! It's not that hard. Writing stupid things like "just switch devices or roms, lol!" makes you look like an idiot. This thread is approaching 200 posts and maybe 20 of those offer useful information for upgrading, working around bugs, or improvements to offer to developers. Your posts help with none of those. I was hoping to find somebody else with the same bug who found a solution, but I guess when 90% of the posts here are vapid echoes of idiocy, then most of the people who care about finding solutions have long since given up on the thread.
[HTC Incredible S] vieose:
Let me say it that way. You won't find here a solution. Roms are always experimental. 70% of people who encounter a bug in a function which they need, switch to another rom, after posting it in the thread they are. 20% People stay on that rom with missing that function, and posting it in the thread they are. And there are another 10% ignorant people who think the world turns around them and if noone helps him, than thats because "90% of the posts here are vapid echoes of idiocy, then most of the people who care about finding solutions have long since given up on the thread"

Thats not polite or true.

Thats "NOT THE DEVELOPMENT THREAD OF THIS ROM" so here'll be almost noone who care about finding a solution for your problem. If you dont understand it, leave it. So easy. Just leave it.

Read the 200 post if you dont believe, you will not find even one fix here for any problem. just posts about "there seems to be a problem with..." and "here's the latest version (but not made from the person who post it 'cos he's russian and is posting on his own thread)"

You get annoying. Will from now just ignore you, selfish something.
[HTC Incredible S] ralphodog:
If this thread is just to post stupid comments, rather than discuss the ROM and its development issues, then it should clearly be moved to another forum. This forum is explicitly listed as being for constructive posts regarding ROM development. I don't take issue with there not being a solution. I take issue with people posting stupid comments that aren't helpful and only serve to further clutter up these threads and make them useless for anyone hoping to actually improve the ROM. But that being said, if you don't understand this yet, you're not going to. And continuing this discussion is only contributing further to the problem.

Edit: three more empty, unhelpful replies. Thanks for proving my point, guys! This thread should really be moved out of the Android Development section.

Edit 2: Making additional off-topic posts to say that we're getting off topic is only making the problem worse. Also, pot, kettle, black, etc.
[HTC Incredible S] 072665995:
I gave you a plausible solution considering the fact that there's nothing we can do on our side. Why don't you go post on MIUI forum and see if something pops up there instead of posting here where there's virtually nothing we can do.

It was like with Viber and Tango. Some guy kept posting around saying it wouldn't work on any Jellybean ROM which clearly meant there's an incompatibility between the Android OS itself and the application.

If you absolutely need the app then switch ROMs. If you want to keep MIUI and have the app simultaneously GO TALK TO DEVELOPER OF THE APPLICATION OF POST IN THE MIUI FORUMS.
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
Yeah, I don't know what is wrong with these people and I don't really care about. I'm figuring a way for switching from lc-7.5+ to TESCO 2.9+. Keep is touch, Bros!
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
Come on, Bro! Don't bother yourself.
[HTC Incredible S] LamboBull:
If you are so concerned about the chat that occurs in this forum, then why don't you become a moderator yourself? You are widely contributing to the off-topic posts as all you are doing is flaming. So stop.

No flaming guise! I learnt it the hard way..

MIUI 3.7.26 links added to the OP. Enjoy!
[HTC Incredible S] Eternalman:
Alright Bros! I've got TESCO 2.9+ working on MIUI! Just follow the instructions:

1- Install your MIUI ROM and restart your device. (Don't flash the GApps)

2- Reboot into bootloader and flash the boot.img in the attachments manually.

3- Reboot into recovery and flash the attached zip file.

4- Wipe cache+dalvik

5- Reboot and ENJOY!!! (You can flash GApps if you want, now.)
