I've tried both Nova and Go on my S4. I liked both but am staying with Go for now. No big reason why. I just like some of the Go widgets better.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DarqAnshin:
I use to use Nova all the time on my EVOs, but I didn't know if anyone noticed a performance degredation by switching launchers or not. I know until rolled Nova into my ROM on the EVO that it would chew down memory and slow down the device.

I guess I'm in the minority but I use Apex launcher.

Hey nivron, or anyone using nova. Does that transparent nav bar feature only work on stock wallpaper? Or does user wallpaper show thru too? I'm willing to give Nova a run if so. I hate not having a transparent bar. And just confirming its the top bar with the clock/wif etc.?

Thanks

Apex and Nova are the most popular, but I use ADW Ex for some of the options that the others don't have. Consensus is usually Apex is smoothest.

I use nova launcher prime. The best launcher to date in my opinion. Im not a fan of spending money but this one was worth it for the gestures, unread count, extra dock pages, and other features.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Ttrain721:
I've been using Apex since my e4gt, don't see myself using anything either.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jejb:
No offense to you or either of those launchers, but that is just not true. Go has between 50 and 100 million downloads. The other two are between 1 and 5 million downloads. Heck, Go has over 1.2 million reviews! So I'd say Go is, by far, the most popular.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DarqAnshin:
My question to you all that have replaced your default launcher with the launcher of your choice is this:

Do you notice a higher memory consumption or an increase/decrease in lag vs the default / Touchwiz
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] nivron:
For me, Nova is as fast, if not faster than TouchWiz. I didn't really think TouchWiz was really laggy though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DarqAnshin:
Unlike Sense UI, I am actually likeing the Touchwiz system. I do miss however the Nova Launcher's ability to vanish, let me put 5 items in the bar and make it transparent.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Inline:
It is true in the XDA community. Go launcher is very popular with many kids and average users cause of all the fun bloat, themes, etc. Nothing against GO at all, but it has so much built in things to pay for you can see what it's for. terms of actual performance and features, GO is not the way to go.

Have you ever seen a single Rom on XDA with GO Launcher incorporated? No, it's all Apex, Nova, or Trebuchet for the most part.

Being the most popular does not mean it is the best. The majority of people have no clue what rooting or roms are, and they are perfectly content with their phones. But we know all about how we can make our phones exponentially cooler, but we are a very small minority.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] optimummind:
My launcher of choice is Holo Launcher.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] jejb:
That's may or may not be. I don't think anyone said it was the "best". But I was only speaking to your statement that "Apex and Nova are the most popular,".
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] BamAlmighty:
Isn't the Touchwiz launcher still running in the back ground? It's not like you can completely disable it.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Naughtie:
Hey Guys,

I am in a huge dilemma as want to jump from iPhone 4 to Galaxy S4. The main reason is screen size and nothing else for that matter. I truly like both the OSes and most of the apps I use work just about same on both. The reason for considering Samsung S4 over the iPhone 5 is Screen size.

Now the only thing holding me from jumping from iOS to Android is gaming. I do about an hour or so of gaming on my phone everyday and I have really enjoyed most of the games which I have played on my iPhone 4 like Temple run, Cut the rope, Mega Jump, Jetpack, Fish out of water(currently not on Android) with loads of others. Last time I checked the gaming experience on iPhone 5 vs Samsung S3 was in hugely favor of iPhone 5. Have the tables turned now or is iPhone still the choice for gaming device. If that's the case then my plan B is to buy a Nexus 4/S3 with a iPad 4 for sufficing my needs but it will be a PITA to lug around 2 devices everywhere. Still I believe it will give me best of both the worlds.

Suggest me here guys. I really want to buy that shiny S4. Also white or black which looks good :P(Currently own a almost 3 Yr old Black iPhone 4).

TIA
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] @xDeepS:
I think you should go ahead and get the S4. Two years ago i'd have said go for an iPhone as their gaming catalogue was better but Android has almost all of the popular iOS games now and I doubt you can get emulators on iPhone.

I have been playing Pokemon Black on my S4 for the last week and have been so happy. Hell theres even a PSP emulator that works quite well too. Then you have the retro game consoles.

Oh and if you play a lot of games I bet the battery dies quick, you can always keep another battery with you too. Perks of removable battery! Nexus cant give you that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beefheart:
Due to the diversity of Android in terms of hardware, it is very difficult for developers to make apps and games that require big hardware specs as it cuts off a lot of the market. iPhones have the advantage here, they also have a lot less piracy which makes development more appealing. Unfortunately, in terms of gaming, iOs will have the upper hand for some time to come but hopefully it will change eventually.

This is a strange thing...

Here is my scenario:

I use ActiveSync to sync over my contacts, calendar and mail (from Outlook 2003). On each contact you have a field called "Birthday" where I enter the persons birthday. When doing this, a reminder is automatically created in the calendar.

The strange thing is that

all

birthdays are one day wrong on the contact in the PDA after a sync. The calendar reminder is correct.

I have found some old articles that this might be an ActiveSync bug, but no solution are presented. There must be some fix for this!?!?!

Has anyone else got the same problem? Please, help me!!! :cry:

/Oggi
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] cchris:
Similar Problem

I think I have a similar problem to yours with birthdays...

All birthdays appears over 2 days both on my PC and on PPC...

I have 2 hypothesis for the problem:

-it's Active Synch and PPC's fault

-it's the PC calendar fault. I have been moving up and down between UK and Italy in the last 2 years, and there is a 1 hour difference between the 2. Now, Birthdays are recorded as "all day events" so when my time zone changes what was going between 0 to 12 goes between 1 to 1 or something like that, so I annoyingly get the birthday over 2 days...

Any solution or quick fix anyone???

THANKS!!! :roll:

[Galaxy S 4 General] Alexanderbooth:
Really on a high atm after 2 days of playing with my international exynos i9500 I must say I'm really impressed so far, things I love, the screen, wow its so clear and perfect great colour no banding like my note was, just unreal. I've been reading about this smearing but I cant see it so not sure if my device has it or not. Secondly the sound quality is really something special I have a degree in music which was tailored towards production so I can tell a good sound from a bad. Loaded up my poweramp and without even touching the eq the bass is so punchy(I use sennheisers cx300 iis) it really pops so glad it hasn't got that massive oversatured bass that people seem to go nuts for, bass should be warm but punchy imo. I even think the speaker is quite impressive for a phone. The lightness of the phone is also great.

The styling is also very impressive people slate samsung for this, but I love the way the s4 looks,been getting praises off everyone at work for how nice it is, and I tend to agree. I also love that text is underlined when its spelt wrong I dont know if this is the browser,the keyboard or what but its very handy. The light effect on the lockscreeen is also a beautiful way to open the phone, I am hoping someone locates the sound file for the noise that plays while doing it so I can swap it out for my own. Lastly text boxes perform so much better on this than my note from editing text to highlighting to general inputting it seems to just work a lot more efficiently.

What I dont like is firstly the norrowness of the screen coming from the note it seems weird but probably get used to that. Secondly the eye features what a load of crap they never work properly well maybe smart stay works but the rest its enfuriating!!

Thirdly the logo on the back is really sharp and feels really cheap, think I'm going to have to buy a different back because every time my finger touches it its like running my finger over a cheese grater. The bloatware is also obviously a very bad point as well cant wait to root and get rid of it all.

Well think thats all for the first few days of use hopefully it's all smiles from because its an amzing phone leaps and bounds ahead of my note well apart from the screen size and no s pen of course.
[Galaxy S 4 General] amagdy81:
I also have the exynos I9500. I like the gestures, handy and amazing. Battery life is superb on 3G. The screen is so sharp and vivid colours, I had the same apps on my previous xperia but I feel that they are completely different on this phone, it is so fast and it performs well with everything you throw at it. I really like this phone
[Galaxy S 4 General] Alexanderbooth:
Yeah I've since learnt the hand gestures which are really good just a shame you cant use the music one on other music apps cause the Samsung one is poor! The scrolling hand gestures is good for browsing though.
[Galaxy S 4 General] amagdy81:
What is really nice is hovering your fingers above emails, messages and photos for preview. I am really impressed with the battery, I got 19 hours on 3g, many phone calls and whatsapp and I still have 30% of battery. I like the eyes scrolling thing in the email and browser but I am not using it
[Galaxy S 4 General] RCJ89:
I have had my I9505 since about 4pm yesterday and let me list my bad points first

Eye scrolling thing in web browser is nonsense, doesnt work all the time so just turned it off

Text message limit to three pages is annoying as sometimes i do send long messages

everything else love love love, audio, screen, battery life, the air gestures like hovering to read texts, wave to answer phone calls, smart stay, smart pause in video, the mini music player app on the lock screen that you can see the current playng song and scroll down in the songs list, ahh too much to mention just a fantastic phone love it, looks and feel are fantastic (i had a HTC one before hand aswell and this feels better)
[Galaxy S 4 General] amagdy81:
Eye scrolling thing is a new unique thing but I have and will never use it. The feel in my hand is amazing and it is elegant. I love this phone

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coolshah:
Hi all

I bought the Xperia Z C6603 in UK will it get 3g or 4g or let in NY, USA?

i been reading in the blogs that it wont support you will only get GPRS or EDGE based on this t-mobile thread http://support.t-mobile.com/thread/40671?start=0&tstart=0

but can the Devs do something to make it work on 3g/4g with current hardware in the phone? or should I return and buy the phone when it comes in the USA?

all help is appreciated
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dsteppa:
I'm not sure about 3g, but I've heard that the 4g bands that the phone uses are different then being used in the States. So that won't work.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juliospinoza:
As I posted here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2231009&page=2

The reason is, according to T mobile

Depending on where a tower is at in the 4G life cycle, theoretical maximum download speeds range from 21 Mbps – 42 Mbps.

T-Mobile's HSPA+ network operates on the same band as our 3G network, Band IV, which uses 1700 MHz and 2100 MHz frequencies to transmit voice and data services. The 1700 MHz frequency sends information to cell sites and the 2100 MHz frequency receives information.

As with our 3G network, both 1700 MHz frequency and 2100 MHz frequency are required for a device to function. If a device only has one of these frequencies, it cannot use T-Mobile’s 3G and 4G networks.

T-Mobile is switching some 1900 MHz frequency from EDGE to HSPA+. This will allow devices that work on 1900 MHz, such as AT&T devices, to use our 4G network.

and yes,the Xperia z uses UMTS HSPA+ Bands 1, 3, 5, 8 which are

1 for 2100, 3 for 1800, 5 for 850 and 8 for 900

the HSDPA in T mobile are in the bands 1700 and 2100, just like the 3G, and the Xperia Z model c6603 uses bands 850/900/1700 only!!! the C6602 model uses the same bands plus /1900/2100 so, if you miss one band in T mobile you will never have the HSDPA speed, no matter the firmware,because is hardware

This info is according to Sony Official Page www.sonymobile.com, so as you can see you are missing one band, the 1700

Resuming, is hardware issue, and I dont think that the developers will be able to get 4G speeds or even HSDPA if the chip required is missing iin the c6603
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ftsocchel:
c6602 is the only choice

Im currently have c6602 on tmobile and I can get h+ speed on it I did order c6603 and only get EDGE. You will have to set APN manually se the phone canlog into the network. Or u will have to get ZL since I heard that Xperia Z wont be distributed through any US carriers.

HD MediaLink

Are you talking about the HD Media Link? This little accessory mirrors the screen on the HTC One to your TV. But depending on what you're doing, your experience may vary. If you like to look at photos and basically anything still, then this will work. But any fast paced moving pixels, forget about it. The only game that I've tried that works well is angry birds, but even then it stutters. I don't know how you plan on using it, but I'd say it's not worth $90. ATT gave it away for free during their preorder promotion.

This device, to the best of my knowledge, does not work with any other device besides HTC devices with at least Sense 4.0. If you want your mac/iphone/ipod to work, you need to get an appletv. Hope this helps.

Miracast should be universal solution for Android devices, it is still young technology and there is not much information or tests and reviews.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miracast

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2013/02/21/feature_wtf_is_miracast/

Bit of a flop about this is that we can't use existing technology, wireless connection, TV, PC's or consoles for that, like with DLNA. Those are designated dongles that plug into TV or monitor. If you type "miracast" in eBay search you'll find some dongles, but IMHO they are still too expensive, on par with Android media players which are far more complex and versatile. There are some hints that it can be enabled in Windows 7/8.1 using Intel WiDi but that is hardware limited. Maybe not for long ;)

The videos I made with the HTC One are using 22mbit/s bitrate (ridiculously high) so that will never work via Wifi (unless you have a very expensive 11ac router).

Built-in Miracast

My 2013 Samsung 6 series tv has built in miracast but 2-3 year old tv's that support wifi sometimes also support miracast or something similar.

Before buying a miracast dongle here is what i think about miracast (Samsung Smart TV 6 series 32'' dual core)

It's hard for miracast to stream 1080p video over air. After 2-3 minutes of streaming, diplay gets glitchy(Something like watching videos from a scratched DVD) or stream stops for up to a minute or else it disconnects.

There are considerable amount of latency like 3 seconds so dont expect playing games(May be Angry Birds at best)

Takes around 20 sec. to connect

Handles SGS3 better than HTC One (12-13 sec. to connect 1-2 sec of latency, way more less video glitches or hickups) but this could because of Samsung AllShare app and 720p screen(Only for touchwiz roms)

I use it to watch Breaking Bad from phone memory and playing music with the music visualiser of stock rom.(Great for that at least)

Conclusion :

Don't buy miracast dongle unless you really need to, buy a HDMI adapter for your phone instead and connect a wireless keyboard and mouse if you need to be wireless(HEAVEN :P)(also not sure if you can connect two devices at the same time)
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] randomhkkid:
In case anyone is wondering I just picked up an Alcatel OneTouch Home v100 (phew). It works perfectly with my One and the latency is less than half a second (Good enough that I can play Asphalt 8). It cost me about $180HKD which I think is very reasonable.
