They are comparing it to the Nexus 4. I will be glad to have a phone that has LTE, better camera, better screen and SD card and will gladly pay 712..which is the price with tax and 2 day delivery.

Can't wait to get a better phone than the Nexus 4 and glad to have a different phone from the cheap prepaid market that the Nexus 4 poliferated. You can tell by the comments on this thread. Also looking forward to Google Wallet again.

[General Topics] sn707:
Just FYI I got my Google Edition s4 and it is amazing. I was still in the return window for my Att model and I returned it yesterday.

Few things that I was worried about:

The IR works perfect with the WatchON app from the Play store.

I have a Samsung Wifi dongle and it works great with the Google edition for throwing the screen on a HD TV.

With the weather station app I get Temp,Baro and Humidity.

Google Wallet comes pre loaded and works great.

Hope that helps someone. Any word on a GT-I9505G forum here on XDA?
[General Topics] planoman:
Thanks for the comments. This is the first report I have seen of someone using Goggle Wallet on the S4 GE. I know it was preloaded but wanted confirmation. I have a 32GB S4 that I want to keep but I will be ordering this week after next once I come off vacation.

Can you comment on using the micro SD card in this model?
[General Topics] ScytaleZero:
This is my first Android phone so I'm a total noob, but I can also confirm that Wallet worked fine for me on AT&T after a few minutes of setup. I also installed a 64GB micro SD and it immediately showed up in a file browser app mounted in /storage/extSdCard folder.

The thing I'm trying to figure out is why I don't see lockscreen media controls when I have apps playing that are supposed to support it. I understood that to be a built-in feature of 4.2 and up. This could easily be due to me not knowing what I'm doing though.
[General Topics] sn707:
When I use audible it shows controls on the lock screen as well as Play music. Are you using another player?
[General Topics] ScytaleZero:
Mostly I've been using DoggCatcher, but I just tried with Play music. For both apps my lock screen has nothing but the clock and the slider circle at the bottom. If I pull down the notification shade (still on lock screen) then I can see a notification for the currently playing app with controls, but I thought they were supposed to show on the lock screen itself?
[General Topics] sn707:
Strange mine is where the clock would be on the lockscreen about a 2x4 widget.
[General Topics] ScytaleZero:
Yeah I don't know if I broke something messing with settings or what. I do have the stock clock widget, it just never changes. I've been searching for what I might have done with no luck.

I was planning to try out Dashclock anyway, so I'll see if it has a plugin for music controls. Thanks for the reply.

[General Topics] Engr.Asif:

[General Topics] ScytaleZero:
I found out a little more info. If I reboot my S4, then the first audio app I use will show the lockscreen controls properly. I can pause and play, unlock and re-lock, and the controls still work. Then if I switch to another app, the lock controls stop displaying and I just get the clock. Switching back to the initial app has no effect and I've only found a reboot to get them back.

[General Topics] jags_the1:
So you dream about phones that's what you telling me?
[General Topics] PlayingPoise:
So what, it's an S4 with AOSP installed and an unlocked bootloader? Can't I just do that for around half the price and an extra 30 minutes of fun? Seems a little silly to me :rolleyes:
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
You can't install Touchwiz ROMs on it if you decide you hate AOSP (yes I know I, why would you buy it in the first place?) because the partition layout is different. It's best to buy the T-Mobile version which is pentaband and flash the Google Edition ROM on it. Or buy the AT&T version and apply the AWS mod to enable T-Mobile's AWS HSPA+ band. You'll actually get more functionality for cheaper. And if it bothers you so much, buy an OEM unbranded for Sprint battery door on eBay for a few bucks.

Buy the T-Mobile (Touchwiz) Galaxy S4 and flash the Google Edition ROM on it.
[General Topics] PlayingPoise:
I didn't even know that there was a Google Edition ROM avaliable with this. That sounds pretty promising :D
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
On a hardware level, the AT&T and T-Mobile versions are exactly the same as the S4 Google Edition. You're just paying more for the Google Edition because it's unlocked. You can easily buy a new or used AT&T or T-Mobile version for less. The Google Edition ROM has been ported to both.
[General Topics] PlayingPoise:
If they have a Google Edition ROM for this device, does it open up possibilities to port them to other devices as well?
[General Topics] tokuzumi:
The google edition rom on the S4 and the HTC One are just vanilla Android, with very minimal tweaks. Samsung added the ability for the the clock to show on the screen when their flip case is installed. HTC added beats audio support.

All you need to do to have a Google Edition rom is to flash an AOSP rom, and get the new live wallpaper. I'm sure the boot animation is already floating around, as well.
[General Topics] PlayingPoise:
Ohh, I see. I thought it would have been something much different. Thanks a lot :)
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
Actually, if you want to get more technical, it's more like Touchwiz without the skin. As in it's actually Touchwiz's framework with an AOSP skin and AOSP apps. There was a developer who dug into the ROM and said just that. I'd suspect the ROM for the One is basically the same.

You can probably dirty-port it (replace files) to similar devices, but not totally different (e.g. different manufacturers, like a Sony phone) devices. It probably wouldn't be very stable; more proof-of-concept.
[General Topics] PlayingPoise:
So basically, it's just Touchwiz but without the bloat and bad look to it? Huh..
[General Topics] Product F(RED):
Yes. Sounds crazy, but it's true. It IS AOSP but not pure vanilla AOSP. It has Touchwiz elements in the code.

Sent from my Galaxy Note 2

Even when Samsung wanted to make a pure AOSP phone, they still had to put some Touchwiz in it. It's ridiculous :rolleyes:

Hi guys,

I have recently purchased MMX Canvas HD A116 rooted on the very first day and yesterday itself I have flashed by Canvas HD to a custom ROM called JellyDeamon v1 but since then it forced my device to reboot thrice since yesterday afternoon. Has anyone of you experienced the same issue or this is with me only?

Though I liked the ROM but since it is causing some problem I am restoring my Rooted Stock ROM now.

Thanks to all the developers and contributors.:good:

Thanks, I would try Jelly Xperia. Today only I have flashed my HD with MegaHD but I guess I have already found a bug within 2 hrs, it is rebooting while charging, I have already experienced it. Though MegaHD is very lite on Hardware, I have seen it is consuming very less RAM only 260MB while my stock ROM was consuming as high as 370 MB out of 1GB.

I have also read that GPS is also giving trouble in this ROM.

Edit: I've checked GPS is working fine but not giving exact location. I wonder what is that star in the map which is giving exact location even when I'm connected via wifi.?

Hey everyone, I've recently started using the HTC One but I don't really know what's going on with the controls on the headset that comes with the phone. There is only one button. One click is for play/pause, but double click redials my last call, instead of going to the next track.

HTC headset button - I can't get them to work properly

Hi everyone!

I was looking all over to find a way to use the remote controls of my Sennheiser and Urbanears Headsets with my HTC one for Music controls and calls reliably. However, I can't seem to get it to work and was hoping that someone here could help me out.

I really highly appreciate your help and I am willing to donate 10 USD for a working solution!

Phone: HTC One

Android Version: 4.2.2

HTC Sense Version: 5.0

Software: Android Revolution HD 12.1

HTC SDK API Level: 5.34

Kernel: 3.4.10-gd6147e

Music App: Grooveshark

I was trying everything I could find on the Internet to fix the Headset button behaviour. Two apps from the Google Play Store did better than the rest: Headset Button Controller and Philips Headset. However, none of them was able to interpret Headset button requests reliably. The apps would only react in about 5 % of the time to multiple clicks (Next track, Previous track, volume control etc). The authors of the app said, that my Custom ROM is probably the reason it is not working. Can that be true?

Does anyone know a reliable solution to use the Headset for Music controls or to be able to use it realiably with third Party apps such als Headset Button Controller? The intermediary solution I found was to interchange the key assignment of keys 163 and 226 - now I can at least Change to next track by click of a button, but thats it - no other functions with multiple clicks.

For sure the clicks on the button are registered by the phone - because I can see that it reacts, but for whatever reason only a limited number is actually interpreted by third Party apps.

I really highly appreciate your help and I am willing to donate 10 USD for a working solution!

Thanks,

best regards,

Karl

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rhoegg:
Situation

My SGH-T989 boots to the cyanogenmod circular animation screen, and stays there. If I hold volume up + volume down, I am able to boot to clockworkmod recovery 6.0.3.1. Some functions in CMR (format /cache, Go Back) lock up CMR and I have to reboot.

My PC doesn't seem to find the USB device using adb devices nor Odin. After searching xda, I bought this USB jig, which allows me to boot to download mode. Still no dice on USB though, doesn't even show up in Device Manager. I have tried both ports and three different cables, at least one of which worked on my Motorola Atrix2.

Background

I was running great using cyanogenmod 9 and clockworkmod recovery 5.0.2.7, which I originally set up using Odin on Windows 7 within VMWare Fusion on my Mac.

Through ROM Manager notifications, I downloaded clockworkmod recovery 6.0.3.1 and cyanogenmod 10.0.0 and later, cyanogenmod 10.1RC1. I upgraded to CMR6 and CM10.0 (not sure which order) successfully, after making a backup using CMR5. I decided to try out CM10.1, and downloaded it using ROM Manager. I made another backup and installed CM10.1. For some reason I decided to go back, and restored that backup.

I have Samsung drivers v1.5.14.0 installed. Here's what Odin looks like. Since I am new, please copy and paste the link below to see it.

My Goal

Get back to a working phone, with any ROM and any recovery.

Get cyanogenmod 10.0 working with any recovery and make sure I have a good backup.

Try Jedi Mind Trick with TWRP

I really appreciate any help or xda pointers. I honestly searched my butt off before posting, and watched the noob video. :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
Try downloading a new recovery to your sd card using a sd card reader on your computer or monitor if you have one. If not try one click unbrick. kies ( emergency firmware) , or reinstalling drivers. As long as you have a boot screen usually your phone can be fixed so there is hope.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nashy10:
You've over done this a bit I think, no purchases should be necessary, just boot into recovery, mount your SD card or internal storage, copy over a ROM of your choice (check t989 development section), copy it to your phone, and another recommendation would be to use the infamous wipe scripts, but always make sure to flash a new ROM after using any wipe function (except for cache) otherwise phone won't have anything to boot from. Basically, just format and reflash
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rhoegg:
maybe CMR is broken?

Thanks for your quick answer... I guess my problem is with clockworkmod recovery. Your reply reminded me that I can just put the SD into my other phone to put ROMs on it, which I did. I copied both INFAMOUS scripts to the SD and tried to install them using CMR6.0.3.1, but the phone seems to freeze when I try to install each of them, then the phone reboots after a short while (around 2-3 minutes).

Is it possible to install a different recovery without being able to see the phone in Odin?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:
If your phone can be recognized on the computer for at least 3 minutes than you can use different programs to install it straight to your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rhoegg:
Trying these suggestions...

Thanks :) I am working my way through these suggestions; so far, clockworkmod recovery 6.0.3.1 doesn't seem to be able to flash anything without freezing and rebooting after 2-3 minutes. I will update once I try all the options you listed. I am on a fresh install of the drivers (I think) and the phone doesn't appear under USB in Device Manager, so I think that option is out :(

Will update once I get through a recovery update, one click, and kies. Thanks again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rhoegg:
My problem might be USB...

I tried all of these except one click unbrick, because what I read tells me Odin has to be able to see the device in order for one-click-unbrick to work.

First I tried booting to CMR 6.0.3.1 and installing recovery-clockwork-touch-5.8.1.3-hercules.zip. One line printed saying it was flashing, the phone sat there a short while then rebooted. :(

Neither Kies, nor Odin can see my device when I connect it either booted to CMR, or in download mode via the USB Jig. I noticed that when in Download Mode, I see "Factory Mode" at the top in red, not "Odin Mode".

I uninstalled the USB drivers from my PC (I was on 1.5.20.0) and installed the ones I got from the Samsung site (1.5.14.0). Same response, nothing under ID:COM in Odin.

I suspected a bad USB cable or port, so I tested my Motorola Atrix2 with the exact same cable and port. It works.

Maybe I have a bad USB connection on my phone? I think it still charges the battery as of this morning.... how could I test this idea? Or, how else can I install a new recovery?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] richardlibeau:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rhoegg:
Nothing, it behaves like there is nothing connected. I have reinstalled the drivers twice, and Kies reinstalled them again I think. This is the same whether the phone is booted with the USB Jig to "Factory Mode" or ClockworkMod Recovery.

Can you try installing over the system within the CWM you currently have now, or will it just freeze on you? If you have a SD card, you could put the CM9 ROM back on there, and try reflashing to see if you can at least get into your phone...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rhoegg:
I have tried several versions of CM that I already had on my external SD (9.0.0, 9.1.0, 10.0.0) and now it boots to a black screen rather than the infinite CM10 boot animation. I think that's due to a successful format /system and format /data I did yesterday.
