[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephenkall:
Thanks for the reply!

Just dissassembled pretty much the whole cellphone. I even turned it on while disassembled, but I keep getting this.

Also, I can feel the camera button "clicking" in a normal way when I press it!

Any other possible ideas? Can I upload a rom when the phone is in this state to test it?

My USB Boot screen works normally, I can even install bootloaders without trouble. Transcript to it is here:

[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephenkall:
I just tried the Y-Cable, but my cellphone keeps saying "No Image File"!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faustolg:
goldcard method is not the solution...

i's the camera button, if it's not clicking it's damaged...

The RUU file on the goldcard must be called SCHUIMG (uppercase) and you must use a 1GB card (it works better sometimes).

Good luck!
[HD7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stephenkall:
The RUU worked as a charm with a 1GB card, I was trying with a 8GB but didn't work.

Case is solved and my Schubert is now with WP7.8!

Thank you guys!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alaris:
Just wondering where you guys keep your backups and roms. Usually I keep mine on usb drives to save storage on my device. But seeing as the nexus 4 doesn't support that I was wondering if anyone had better idea.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exb0:
don't really keep them anywhere.. I just keep a copy in my phone and delete the older ones. I only do a nandroid when I know I might flash something that fks **** up and I only backup when I know everything's fine.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scream4cheese:
I only backup when I need to flash something as well.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
you should always keep one nandroid backup in your storage, it could save you hours of anguish later on. the more recent, the better.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exb0:
Speaking of nandroids, I JUST had to restore one. Flashed PA and some mods that gave me a bootloop. Luckily it was only 2 days old.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gorjira:
I keep my backups on my computer. I have a Mac so with Android File Transfer it's easy to copy onto my computer or back onto my phone. Easy as pie.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
None. I prefer just keeping a latest titanium backup and I'm fine with starting from scratch. Only takes me five minutes max
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 3dupunk:
I ALWAYS keep a bare minimum system backup just in case anything goes wrong. I tend to back up dat once a week, and especially before I flash anything. It's a good habit to implement, trust me lol
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] apex88:
I always keep one nandroid backup on my pc.

Titanium backup is never 100%, especially on system stuff....
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Slymobi:
I have lots on my PCs 2nd hard drive along with lots of android stuff.

I always keep at least 1 on my phone.

I keep my favourite ( stock, slimbean and mokee ) zipped and uploaded onto dropbox.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc123:
I guess I am missing something. What is so hard about keeping your backups on a USB drive? I do a Titanium full backup and a TWRP full backup. I then copy and paste the backups via Windows to my USB drive. Finally I delete them from my phone to save space.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] exb0:
Transferring back a nandroid when you only have fast boot and recovery is... Annoying.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjc123:
I see. Sorry, my misunderstanding of the topic. I only keep the backups for disaster recovery so I don't lose all my settings and app installs; I never had to use them. Also, I never did a nandroid backup.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tkoreaper:
Is there a way to get it without going to a CM-based ROM? I prefer wired over wireless.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gk1984:
Have yet to test this but when I looked into this myself, it supports usb tethering built into the phone already. It looks like you just need HTC sync manager installed. I think pdanet will also work, but I still need to download the software for pc.

I'm more interested in a wireless method without root but doesn't look possible. I want to tether my tablet, not laptop.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tkoreaper:
It does have it, but it's not free.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Aldo101t:
you could use easy tether, works on sense

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] King Cole:
Might want to try disabling it or reflashing your firmware. I, nor any of my geek friends, have this problem with our S4s.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] t2abousa:
What is it? And is disabling it going to have neg effects? Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Search is your friend:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sec.spp.push

It looks to me like it is an App. So you should be able to use titanium backup to freeze it. If it screws other stuff up, just unfreeze it. It would probably be a good idea for you to read the description and reviews on the play store link I posted above to see what info you can get from there before you do anything. Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] thatsupnow:
Use auto starts and just disable it that's what I did
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] j510:
Just clear data for that app instead.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Legend28469:
Hey.. I've been trying to play Blitz Brigade for a while and it closes usually where I have to type in my (player) name.

If I turn off my internet, I can get a little farther but it requests that I turn it back on. And then I get a little farther then it closes.

I'm running the latest Paranoid Android (alpha 5 I believe).. with the (almost latest AK kernel)

Has anyone had success running this game on a galaxy nexus? If so what rom and kernel?

P.S. My bro has his nexus 4 and he is also running paranoid android (without the halo builds), he also suffers from the same problem.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Email the dev of the app to inquire about custom ROM compability; If he says all is well for him, grab a logcat of the game error and send it to him and/or to the ROM dev.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alkspo:
hey, i had the same problem on my samsung galaxy s2 i9100, running liquidsmooth. Thing is, it runs fine on my sisters s2 on 4.1.2 jb, while im running 4.2.2
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burninghouse:
when we greenify an app with this tool then all the processes of the greenified app stops running in background... when we launch the greenified app again then it again starts showing in the "running apps" section under settings option of the phone.... DOES IT MEAN THAT I HAVE TO AGAIN GREENIFY IT WITH THIS TOOL???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
No. That's the whole point of Greenify. Each app will re-hibernate after a short period of time. If it didn't go into running apps, you wouldn't be able to open the app. Greenify will hibernate the app a short time after you finish using it.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burninghouse:
thanks buddy... wow what an app...
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burninghouse:
how can i change the time delay after which the pending apps must be hibernated???
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
You cant. It will hibernate each app as it is no longer in use.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jetlitheone:
Thanks for this. Question though. When I pull my keyboard up to type on something or if I'm in a YouTube video and I tap the screen to bring up the progress bar the color shifts dramatically. I've tried many settings and it always does this. Also tried it on another s4 multiple ones did the same thing...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rapaholic999:
Just hoping for a fix for it :)

The white balance can actually be calibrated by changing the calibration levels of the LEDs sitting under the screen

Lets hope for the best :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] dgfriedl:
Same here. Thanks for the write up but I'm seeing the same thing.

I dim the display with the Screen Filter app for reading in bed and whenever my keyboard pops up (SwiftKey, TouchPal or stock) the entire screen gets a green cast. Under these conditions it is very dramatic.

I use manual brightness and turned off the Autoadjust Screen Tone setting

Some other apps exhibit a fluctuation in color cast when I put my finger near the screen which is double weird. :-\

-darren
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jetlitheone:
Yes it's weird I don't know what's happening. Anyways I'd toy turn the brightness up past half way the color cast goes away. .. Not sure what it is
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MrPlNK:
If you go to a settings menu and scroll up and down fast, my phone gets a purple tint and leaves like a shadow of the words behind... Kinda annoying.. Anyone else notice this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jetlitheone:
Yes smearing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Slade8525:
thats because AMOLED usually have a slower response time, upwards of 20ms

yep, i have some old LG CCFL LCD monitors with a claimed 2ms (more like 6-10ms) response time from 2006; they were about $300 each back then. i also have a new IPS with 30ms response time; it is annoying.

also some pentile displays are slower between subpixels; my Atrix 4G had very slow blue white pixels (RGBW) so you had a weird dimming as well when scrolling through texts.

Settings, Display, disable Auto Adjust Screen Tone' as well, its a power saving thing i forgot to mention in the first write up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jetlitheone:
it can be fixed with color adjustment though so maybe a software update can fix it as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] batanuenio:
I bought the s4 the first day it came out, after using it for couple of days i started noticing weird stuff on my photos, especially on low light photos... i went to att and one of the rep said its a known issue its called "elephant effect" im into photography and i havent heard that term before, he also said that it will be fix on the next update... so i went home and did some research about "elephant effect" unfortunately i cant can find anything related with my issue... i also did some pixel peeping and im 100% positive there's something off on the display of my phone.

Sample photos

These photos are just screenshots

You can see those weird artifacts on the pictures, i also compared my screen display to my coworker's phone and my phone was way off...

What i would suggest for those who wants to buy the new s4 or currently users, is to check the display by taking a photo on a low light and do some pixel peeping... :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WestonWW:
Has anyone else noticed a color and contrast shift from the top to the bottom of the screen? In very low brightness settings my screen gradients from crushed black levels and a reddish hue at the top of the screen to a acceptable black levels and an more green hue at the bottom of the screen. I can try to get some pictures with my DSLR tonight to illustrate. I'll have to compare to other S4's in the same scenario. In every day use its not too noticeable, but while watching video in a completely dark environment with the brightness all the way down it now bothers me some.

Anyone have a similar experience? Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jetlitheone:
Yes I notice it. It fixes itself if you change the brightness with an app. so I'm guessing its a weird kernel thing. It only happens when the keyboard is up
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WestonWW:
I notice it with or without the keyboard. I use the Display Tester app to display a full screen white or 50% gray and now that I look at it, the red hue at the top of the screen is visible at all but 100% brightness levels. What app were you using to dim the screen, I would like to try it out.

Here is an exaggerated image I made showing the gradation (50% gray). The top of the screen would be to the left. Black levels get crushed at the top of the screen also.

(Sorry for the bad image compression, my screen doesn't have the extreme banding in it!)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jetlitheone:
screen adjuster, lags like hell but you can see it fixes it.

set values +5 for each color.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Slade8525:
ill check that out; it looks like compression artifacts; what settings are you using when you shoot? also to internal or external SD card? and speed rating/brand/type of external SD card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WestonWW:
I tried that and it made little to no difference on my phone. I went to the AT&T store on my lunch and compared my phone to the display unit. My phone has a noticeable difference. The rep at the AT&T store suggested I take it to the local repair depot... I've never been there before but I hope they don't try to pawn a refurb phone off on me to replace my 17 day old S4. I'll let you guys know what I find out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] batanuenio:
I was using auto mode on my camera and used the internal mem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Slade8525:
did you zoom in, and what size (pixel wise) did you use? thats textbook macroblocking.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Red89:
Hi my s4 have a yellow tint, i compare with other s4 and my s4 screen have much yellow in white screen, is faulty? Is possibile to fix it with gamma correction?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WestonWW:
I took my phone to the AT&T Repair Depot in my town and they immediately sent for a warranty replacement. I just happened to get a 32GB as a replacement for my 16GB at no extra charge. YMMV, I think I just hit it off with some geek talk with the guy who inspected my phone. :)

I would take your phone in and have it looked at, don't try to correct it with software if you can just get it swapped out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Red89:
you advise me change my s4?

The problem at brightness automatic is poor, when i set max brightness is notable.

I am italian and i read the assistance take the phone much time:(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Nizda1:
Actually the s4 has the widest gamut out of any other mobile phone at 94% Adobe RGB. Most other phones are within SRGB spectrum, anyway Samsung purposely set the adapt calibrations to what they are mainly because that's what there customers prefer. Myself included, I don't like the flat look of professional photo mode on a phone even if it is the most realistic. On a monitor yes, such as my home monitor a Dell u2713hm calibrated with a spectrophotometer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Red89:
I dont think is faulty, i think is only a other screen supplier
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Slade8525:
good man; i totally agree. the specs of the actual unit and its capabilities are stellar; MUCH better than most 8 bit field monitors around the $3k pricepoint USD. I have some IPS LED units and this is far superior.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Have you found a way to fix the tone changing and such at all times
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Slade8525:
did you try disabling all the auto settings, power saving settings, and change the 'look' to 'movie' or 'professional photo'? also browser power save modes too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Yep seems the only fix is to go on cyanogenmod or aokp and the colors seem much better on that. No clue why?!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Slade8525:
there are 9 variables related to screen brightness/colors/contrast; most for oversaturating images or washing out brightness to save power. i am about half done with a simple app that disables all the auto stuff, except auto brightness, so it SHOULD display sRGB/Rec. 709 properly, with just brightness as a variable, as it should be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Seems so but with everything turned off all the options and tone options it still adjusts it, hope someone can come up with a fix.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Slade8525:
screen mode (movie)

power saving off

try dolphin or firefox browser

disable auto brightness

auto adjust screen tone OFF

stock browser and chrome there is no way to disable auto color/contrast/brightness. try gosms keyboard as well not stock to avoid color shift.

i am hoping i can finish a little dupe/rename/freeze app that should disable all auto screen adjustments. that said, using dolphin browser, gosms/gosms keyboard, and all the above modes set to off/disabled, neither my phone nor my GF's is exhibiting these issues, and are just about spec'd at rec. 709.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
Helps a lot and I'm not one for 100% accurate colors as its fine with me being oversaturated a bit but maybe I should do a side by side comparison with CM 10.1 and Touchwiz with standard color mode.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Slade8525:
please do; keep them both in movie or professional photo mode and all the other settings off. also if you could keep the camera settings the same for each pic (ISO, exposure, shutter speed, aperture, white balance). that would help a bit
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] KGB7:
I looked at my screen last night in total darkness, at full manual brightness and low screen brightness. At 45 degree angles, screen gets brighter and whites become whiter. My screen has a very low brownish hue when looking straight at it at 90 degree angle.

So back to the store tomorrow to get another phone.

---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:28 PM ----------

Stock browser that comes with the phone, does have a setting for auto/manual brightness. It had it since Ginger Bread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Slade8525:
it also changes tint by about 250 kelvin, on gs4 i cant find a way to turn it off or disable it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Red89:
My s4 have a little yellow tint i compare it with 2 s4, 1 have a better white and other have a worse white but in each case the difference are minimal.

Is pointless chenge the phone , you can have a worse screen with very defects.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Red89:
I noticed some times with low gsm signal(only gsm no 3g) on white screen the screen light flicker, this flicker appears only with low gsm signal, sometimes is very notable and sometimes no, is normal?

in practice the gsm ago interference with screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JuniorGG:
The point is that all displays should be exactly identical in terms of brightness, gamut, white point, uniformity, etc. But clearly they are NOT so. This is something that every customer should be made aware of BEFORE he attempts to buy a Samsung phone with an AMOLED display.

But again, nobody is made aware of such a big issue...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] @rbiter:
Amoled technology is hard to make I gather. And shrinking those pixels is what makes it so hard. I think blue pixels have reached close to their maximum shrink and as we all know blue amoled pixels dim faster which is odd seeing as Sammy went with shared green pixels this time. Perhaps another generation or two of panels will see more consistency. This pixel race is bad for battery life.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JuniorGG:
Yes I do think the same, but still... how difficult are AMOLED displays to be manufactured should not be bothering us!

Just imagine my disappointment: the display of my brand new galaxy s4 is visibly having a shift to the green on the left side, and is slightly too yellowish overall, despite that of my 2 years'old s2 is perfectly uniform (and brighter). I just got my s4 serviced exactly because the display tint was not uniform, but although it is clear that they changed the display of my unit, (instead of swapping it altogether with a new unit), i notice that the new one is showing the same kind of issues.

And not to mention that the display is the only reason why I bought this phone for...

Inviato dal mio GT-I9505 con Tapatalk 2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] horangeh:
I got a used Galaxy S4 and the screen white is too yellowish too, when looking at it head on. When I look at sharper angle, the white shifts to cooler proper white. This is either a burn in or an intrinsic property of AMOLED screens.

I wish Samsung stop with their AMOLED stupidity or at least put "cool white" settings in the Display menu. I've yet to see a Samsung device with correct white - had a TV, ultrabook, Note 8, and now S4. All returned ...

Hi all,

I am trying to connect to the internet via passthrough

on Active sync (version 3.7.1) while my XDA2 is still in the cradle

to my pc (with an internet connection)

After several attempts I read the HELP file in active sync and it states:

Note The ability to use ActiveSync to pass through this computer is only supported on Windows Powered Pocket PC 2002 and Windows Powered Smartphone 2002.

I am on PocketPC 2003.

Anyone knows of any freeware that can do a passthrough while

still on the cradle (on PPC2003).

Thanks
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] tde:
you may be referring to a very old article.

I can do Internet passthrough with my QTEK2020 PPC 2003 while plugged into the craddle, and without any additional software, just ActiveSync.

[LG Optimus G Pro] mrfeuss:
I'm not sure what the brand is, but I got a pen/stylus from 5 Below that works really well. I'll upload a picture of the handwriting I did without any edits or anything. This was my first attempt.
[LG Optimus G Pro] ReggieSmith:
What I really want is a stylus with a tip as slim as what Samsung uses in the Note 2. Unfortunately those will not work. :mad:
[LG Optimus G Pro] Jammol:
Same here dude. I need to do signatures and convince my boss to go all digital and loose the paper trail but can't find a fine enough stylus tip.
[LG Optimus G Pro] mrfeuss:
The only problem is that capacitive touchscreens require input to be the approximate width of a human finger in order to ignore random/incidental touches.
