[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] camxv:
Over the past 3 weeks using the S4 I've started to notice more and more that the back cover is loose near the camera and the flash. Anyone else experiencing this?

Its hard to explain but when I apply any sort of pressure above the samsung logo or in between the camera and the flash it makes almost a squeaking sound. I guess I should mention that it doesn't feel like the back is broken in any way, nor have I dropped the phone (That would be a sad day). Could it just be that I have a faulty back cover? Anything is appreciated :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] kreoXDA:
I do not have this, but have a case on, and so wouldn't notice this even if I had it.

If there is really spacing between the back cover and the internals, try affixing a small piece of black electrical tape to the underside of the cover in that area, to give the cover some support. Not sure this is safe though.

Hey guys

Messed up my recovery quite a bit, so that it doesn't format data or cache!!

When I start up my recovery, it is cwm 6.0.3.1 and it gives the message

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

Then when i try to wipe my cache (partition), I get

-- Wiping cache...
Formatting /cache...
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p33
Cache wipe complete.
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/log
E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/last_log
E: Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

And When I try to wipe data/factory reset, I get:

-- Wiping data...
Formatting data...
Error mounting /data!
Skipping format...
Formatting /cache...
E: format_volume: make_extf4fs failed on /dev/block/mmcblk0p33
Formatting /sd-ext...

E: Can't mount /cache/recovery/log

When I try wiping dalvik's cache I don't get any response from recovery, the menu just flashes.

I just flashed an updated recovery today after discovering the problem but to no avail.

Any suggestions will be awesome!!

Cheers,

"4 out of 42 found this review helpful."

I can't relate to most of it and seems most others can't either. The storage issue is understandable, but I though Samsung was going to address this in a future update.

And I don't understand giving it "1" in all other categories for one failure.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Ascertion:
To me it looks like HTC fanboys are overwhelming the s4 reviews. Most of the 1 star ratings recommend the HTC One.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Cloaker:
I used to be an HTC fan boy, but their apple approach and gs4 converted me. :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] k2buckley:
Those are crap reviews. They aren't based on anything other than the storage. Just htc fan boys. They don't seem to mention that the One has no expandable memory. No removable battery. An aluminum body that will easily get messed up. I've always liked htc products, all my prior phones were htc. However, the lack of sd card and removable battery killed it for me. The One that my Co worker has is already all scratched up and scuffed from being in his pocket. Does anyone know how much storage is available on the One?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] wotandsdwys:
I had the One before I got the s4. The expandable storage didn't bother me at all, and had tons more compared to the s4. Was really shocked to see how little storage there is. But an sd easily takes care of the issue. I don't have many apps anyways. Personally just need storage for music and backups/ROMs.

The phone looked great as well, but a 3" drop really messed it up. Also the vibrator inside was loose and would rattle, and almost none of the trim pieces lined up, including the screen.

If the phone was built better, I might have kept it even though I was never able to successfully stream a YouTube video on the mobile network cause the signal was to crappy.

So far, glad to be back in Samsung.

I stopped going to best buy back in 2007 let alone reading any review from them. Go and ask Geek Squad to fix your next broken PC and you'll see what I mean... I'd rather buy my electronics from a crook on the street than walk into any Best Buy.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] iSaint:
The only reason to buy from best buy is their warranty

Other than that they seem very biased
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mjs2011:

My s4 upgrade is in 1 week. I'm up in the air about go through sprint or best buy. The Best buy no deductible is nice and no limit on replacements. Has anyone used best buys insurance? If yes is it good? I like assurion but getting sick of forking out $100 each.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
I picked up my phone at Best Buy this time with their insurance. I asked others experience with their protection and I hear good things. I also buy all my electronics there and have never had anything but good experiences, so I trust them.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] miketucky350:
Thanks for the replies. I also never lose phones. Saying that I'll lose an s4 and be out $700! I've been looking for reviews on their replacements. Knowing there free has me kind of iffy about them. Assurion cost $100 but I've always had nice and sometimes new devices.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dakidobf:
Those are spam. If you look, all of those user accounts were just opened and they left negative reviews on 3 different variations of the S4. You can't tell me they bought the Sprint, Tmobile, Unlocked etc S4s all at the same time.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Marty:
I have the BB insurance and the only other thing you need to remember is if you take your phone to them for warranty purposes, they will first ship it off to their repair facility to try and fix it (and will give you a basic loaner phone in the mean time). If the repair facility determines it cannot be fixed, then they will authorize you for a new phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Delakit:
Not true. They changed that to onsite convenience, so I was told. According to the rep I talked to, they give you a new phone and you're then good to go. Then they ship the other out to be repaired and sold as refurbished. Wouldn't be the first time I've been lied to but I'd like to believe this is true.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
I was told they ship it off first.

Sent from my SPH-L720
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] travisw0204:
I was told it's the store's discretion but I chose to stick with Sprint because they cover lost or theft. BB stated that they put a tracker on the phone to find it if ever it were lost or stolen but that doesn't help me when I need a phone immediately. I figured if that happened, I'd have to buy a brand new phone for retail from BB. Therefore, the option to get my phone either a) replaced free on the spot at Sprint if they determine it's shot or b) pay a $150 deductible to get it in 2 days from Assurion if it's lost or stolen is a better route IMHO. Plus I've read some HORROR stories about that Black Tie Protection. At the same time, if you ever need your phone replaced you then have to question am I getting a phone on the spot or are they gonna ship my phone off for repair? I'd rather just go to a Sprint store and find out on the spot so I know my options.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eyecon82:
And a lot of the times they are even out of the non - smart loaner phones as well so you're SOL in the meantime unless you have a spare lying around somewhere

You've been lied to.

If they do have onsite repairs, it's probably only at a select few flagship stores
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
I don't ever think I will lose my phone. I either have it in my pocket or its at my house. Also lojack will find your phone if lost. I'm not concerned whatsoever about losing it or having it stolen.

Sent from my SPH-L720
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Marty:
Well when I bought my S4 at BB two weeks ago, I noticed someone bringing in their Evo 4G LTE with a cracked screen. The woman was expecting a replacement on the spot but the BB employee wouldn't do it, explaining to her that they had to ship it out first to see if it could be fixed. They gave her a loaner phone in the mean time. So it seems as least for this BB, the shipping it off first policy is still very much being enforced.

They say they they will replace phone I'd they can't recover it

What is stopping someone from throwing their phone in a lake if they drop the phone and end up cracking the screen?

Or saying it's stolen when it was lost?

Of course it covers actual theft, but what is stopping subscribers from doing the above?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] edub186:
Back on topic. Those are not Best Buy personal reviews Smh! Those are customer reviews. When I went to best buy and sprint they both were hyping up the gs4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] iSaint:
Really? The rep (best buy)wanted me to purchase the HTC one telling me the great things about it when I knew more than him :rolleyes:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GiantJay:
Lol. That's hilarious, everytime I get into a conversation with a employee at a cell provider or Best Buy they end up asking me about the product. I went to At&t one time and the guy was asking me which phone he should buy. The guy at Verizon was telling me, this was about 3 months ago, they are going to get the Nexus 5 soon and it was going to be made by LG, and that LG has a contract with Google for the Nexus phones. I just looked at him with a very confused look, literally was stunned, and left.

Also as long as it's possible to revert to totally stock and flash kernels the demand will be pretty low. Usually only people who want to go back to an older firmware will want s off

Be aware that the nbf files in that upgrade are set to operator ID CDL in the extra part of the ms_.nbf file (see my post for details about the extra part). So if you run this without modification, your device will be set to operator ID CDL and will only accept future upgrades with CDL specified as the operator in the nbf headers.

Few probs:

(1) I tried DCS's steps but i only got as far as the 7th step because, when i extracted the devicedata, I didnt know the operator and language values i needed to enter on step 8 (do i use CDL first then re-upgrade using O2? Also in your NOTE, there was a portion for inputting O2 in the extra block of data (where is this?)

(2) I dont know how to use the xda2nbftool to edit the values on step 9

Question lang. Hindi naman nang-aasar. ;)

I bought kasi my XDAII last Nov 2003 and my wife got one for herself just this week.

I patched my unit (last March 2004) with the one suggested by http://www.myxda.com and I found out that my wife's unit doesn't require the same patch. Further investigation shows that my ROM version is lower (1.60.00WWE compared to my wife's 1.66.00.WWE).

So my question is, do I need to patch my unit to 1.72? What are the benefits in upgrading to 1.72? Why do you want to upgrade to 1.72?

I am sorry you felt you couldn't do this. But I will try to help.

This is the contents of the DeviceData.txt I generated using HimaGetDeviceData on my own XDA II

U S B 3 2 1 . 7 2 . 0 0 W W E P H 1 0 O 2 W W E 1 . 7 2 . 1 2 6 1 . 1 7 . 0 0

"USB 32 1.72.00WWE " is the OS Version

"PH10" is the Device Type

"O2" is the Operator ID

"WWE" is the Language ID

"1.72.126" is the Extended ROM Version

"1.17.00" is the Radio Version

Obviously the actual content will depend on your device, but the layout of the information will be the same.

Once you are able to identify the operator ID and language ID from your own DeviceData then you should be able to follow the steps in my post

here

.

As regards the hex editor, I have updated the instructions for that in my post to hopefully make it simpler. It is the hex editor that is used to view and change, if necessary, the contents of the 'extra data'.

I hope this helps you a little :)

Im not sure why your HimaGetDeviceData isn't working - try copying it over again and re-running it. Also, make sure you copy the DeviceData.txt back to your PC before reading it, as it is Unicode encoded, and the XDA by default cannot read it correctly, whereas Notepad on the PC will at least let you see the information.

Greetings Mr. DCS!

I have stumbled upon sumthing last night.....

1. Waxx's Rom would make my XDA2 a CDL Device right? (I upgraded without modification of Waxx's ROM)

2. Waxx's ROM uses O2 headers (verified through ER2003edit) and the extra code on MS_.nbf says its CDL

3. If I loaded Waxx's ROM (which I did) it would turn my unit from an O2 to CDL.... correct? I could not verify since my GETDEVICE Data does not work... I dunno why.

4. Here comes the weird part..... I followed your instructions to modify my operator to become O2 again..... (change headers and offset 74).... If I understand it correctly, I should change Waxx's ROM headers from O2 to CDL ( to pass the operator test..am I correct?) and I should change OFFSET 74 to O2... correct?

5. When I tried upgrading.... (all headers = CDL, Offset = O2).... the upgrade failed.... error 120 (country code error...me thinks)....

6. I tried changing all headers to O2 and offset was still set to O2..... tried a second time..... and it worked.... get device data works now.... and it says I have an O2 machine :)

7. IMO Radio rom 1.17 is better than 1.14..... :) thanks for your help mr DCS, Mr Waxx, Mr. Gollum

hey mann2, try reading my post.... it might help you.... i had country error problems last night too
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development] dcs:
I think the error must have been related to the problem with HimaGetDeviceData, because everything you did was correct and your assumptions were also correct. Perhaps the first attempt failed, but at the same time it sorted out the HimaGetDeviceData, and also got as far as setting your device to O2?

Difficult to say what happened exactly, but main thing is you are up and running :) - Well Done!

Perhaps you could put a reply post to my

post

, stating that you managed to upgrade OK, so that people can see that it can work :)
