Thanks for the correction! I wasn't aware the M8 supported microSD. With a little bit of experience is the battery replaceable?

If I go GSM which model would you suggest? I've read there is standard GPE and Developer model.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Something...... So........ Wrong..........

Not enough goodie from either to give up GS4 /Hyperdrive!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
This. Sammy SVP promised a new form factor with the Note 4. I'm thinking we'll finally see the Youm display tech in one of the flagships.

---------- Post added at 08:36 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:29 AM ----------

No way to remove the battery. Zerogap wrap around unibody aluminum lol so I believe the display would need to be pulled out to get to it.

You guys don't realize 2600mah on Sense 6 is like 4000mah on TW. I was running an m8 port on my One Max and it had the standby efficiency of an iPhone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
I purchased the sim unlocked gsm sense version which has been nice. I wouldn't get the dev one because you don't need it on HTC phones

Lol battery life is pretty nice on sense 6. I think part of the issue on Samsung is their auto brightness algorithm which I've been playing around with :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
awesome to hear :)

I switched back to my s4 as my main phone for the time being. I waited too long for HD on 4.4 to not run it lol.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
I feel u. I'm gonna have to steal my S4 back from my gf when HD15 drops
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
You better grab it up from her ASAP cause HD15 is here and has been here for awhile! :laugh:

Does it matter ???? the Bootloader is still locked....Safestrap is becoming a hassle!! Not being a cynic but Our choice on Custom Roms are few for safestrap!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Hopefully people running the 4.4.2 leak with SS can run HD16.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cbmggm:
FWIW most Sammy's (VZW & ATT) coming out now will have locked bootloaders. And each launch poses harder difficulties. If it wasn't for Hashcode and SS a lot of us would be very unhappy with the S4. There are enough TW Rom's to flash via SS. That's the drawback though; TW based only. HTC for example is doing it right; just hope they gain more traction in the Market. The way Sammy and VZW are going I doubt I'll stay with Sammy for much longer, LG & HTC are looking really good these days.

Just my $0.02 ........
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dvsgod:
so will gear 2 support only be available with the 4.4 update? and thats where HD16 comes into play correct?:confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
My fingers are crossed! :fingers-crossed: Also for Surge to release his pre-rooted NC5 base ROM. I take it you like me went to the pre-rooted SS 3.72 NC2 Surge had posted a week or so ago?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
No it should be available now. Long as Ur running 4.3 Android or up u should be good. I'll be testing my 1st gear watch on HD16.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
I did the gigilie thing, running Phoenix 4.4.2 right now. Really smooth Rom.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
So HTC bootloader on vzw can be unlocked? I got dev edition GS4 to keep my unlimited & still feed my crackflasher addiction.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Yes I did mines threw an app called weak sauce to gain root and used Fire water to unlock boot loader and s-off.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
+1 I'm personally holding out for that Note 4 as I think my contract/phone upgrade date is like 9/2014 and that should be close to it's presumed release. (I think). :good::good::good::good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wtherrell:
Great! I'm amazed that Vzw hasn't shut it down as well.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Me too. I think it could be Samsung. I had 3 HTC devices on vzw and all I was able to unlock boot loader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
No sorry. Have a crazy busy week coming up and the note 3 kk updates to do as well :) be patient and you'll be rewarded
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Was thinking about giving up on this bootloader thing. If it wasn't for you man I would but I love this Rom too much. I'm very sure a update is going to be awesome.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RepublicanDaddy:
I can confirm that the gear 2 does work on HD 15. I've been running it now for about 3 weeks.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lancem71:
Any links to nc5?

EDIT: Nevermind.... It's amazing what a Google search will do!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] studiorat:
I agree with you man......those that have done it such as Hash and SS and Sbreen are awesome in my book.....But TW is just plain boring?...are there any devices without a locked bootloader on verizon,??? I thought the HTC was locked.....I love my s4 but since 4.3 borked it I hate it.... My contract ends in May...and I believe I am gone from VZW
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Tmobile ftw!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] radpp16:
I flash a new baseband every day just to mess around. From MDK to NC5. I think there is placebo effect. Im not in AWS area either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Wilsonb:
I I had the same problem with its stuck and had to end up using ODIN to reinstall stock and upgrade to the new leaked KitKat in the stock Rom slot. Its obvious, SafeStrap 3.72 is buggy and causes issues. This should prob be posted in the SafeStrap forum instead.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
I'll never go back with T mobile.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
+1, I have absolutely no reception in my house nor my surroundings with T-Mobile. Of course that's my personal experience and my location. Your mileage may vary...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Man I had it made. They had a tower in my back yard. I never dropped one bar on LTE. I moved and well I missed calls text messages and a lot of work cause my boss was trying to call me and get a hold of me. I asked for a signal booster. They wouldn't send me one. I was with them for 6 years. They told me for my inconvenience they would knock off my bill. For 4 months of not having a phone they only took off 60 bucks. I told them to shove my bill up. Well we all know the rest. Lol
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
No HTC one can be unlocked
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vaeevictiss:
Well i came here at first wondering if the next release was going to be Kit Kat and when it would be ready. Now, seeing your post makes me wonder about something unrelated.

It seems these "unlockable" phones are becoming more and more present. Are we heading to the end of the road for romming android?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] blindfaith76:
Although holla420 said "No HTC one can be unlocked" I think what was meant was "No, HTC one can be unlocked" the comma makes all the difference
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] vaeevictiss:
ahh lol. that it does. Either way, there are still versions of the GS4 can havnt been unlocked. It seems like they are finally getting to a point where we just cant get through and have to deal with it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] holla420:
Lol yes my bad if I confused u. It can be unlocked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
All goes back to enterprise customers who out number the modding community by huge majority and whether providers wishes to offer a dev phone. But yes...The time is limited.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xxxtncxxx:
There has always been unlockable phones and there always will be. That has nothing to do with Enterprise anything it has to do with the maker and provider. And all of that has nothing to do with being able to run custom roms, locked BL does not prevent you rooting/roming.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:
Agreed, And the main reason is the carrier you are on not the oem. All TMobile and sprint Samsung phones have an unlocked bootloader. All of samsungs international phones do as well. Verizon and att are the reason for phones being locked not the oem
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] flegma3124:
So does having a locked bl only prevent you from flashing kernels, or is there more?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] android-incredible:
Wao I like this wallpaper. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Not true...enterprise corporate clients set the specs and they represent the largest purchasing block of cell phones and cell service. They demand locked down phones for security issues...and locked bl will become more locked down as we have seen.

I know it has been asked before, but with the regular updates to recoveries I'll ask again: with which recovery and what version have folks had the best success?

I am MDK and had been running TWRP 2.6.3.1, but it can not read my 64GB SD card which is a major PITA for backup/restores.

Thanks everyone.

I just got done installing RLS15 on my VWZ S4 with safestrap on ROM slot 2. So far so good.

One question, I saw in another thread about updating modem. What does it do and should it be ok for me to install this modem for better reception - I545VRUEMK2_modem_apnhlos.zip?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
I believe you're not supposed to mess with apnhlos unless for certain situations. Just the standard retail modem will be suffice. From my rough understanding, it's supposed to be improvements/ enhancements for reception. Someone who is more familiar with it could chime in.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] internationalistic:
Not connecting to 3g

I'm using a VZW Galaxy S4 (MDK) that I flashed to work with Page Plus, which only offers 3g data. I recently upgraded from RLS10 to RLS15, but when I turn off my WiFi, my 3g doesn't automatically connect anymore. I can't get 3g to work at all. If I flash back to RLS10, my 3g connection works perfectly. I've searched the forum but I haven't found a solution. Does anyone know why I'm having this problem and is there a solution? :confused:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] D0CTOR:
Have you tried going to: Settings/More Settings/Mobile Networks, and make sure you have Mobile Data checked, as well as Network Mode set to LTE/CDMA?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Use the RETAIL modems only. Before I upgraded completely to KitKat pre-rooted thanks to [MENTION=4939386]Surge1223[/MENTION] , I was feeling the NC2 modem performing well on HD RLS15. Your mileage could vary I suppose. So you can flash and re-flash any of the RETAIL ONLY modems, see what works best in your area. :cowboy:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kasper DG:
Not sure if this is a known issue or not, but I'm using RLS15, and my SD card is practically useless. I can move something to it, like a game, and it will play fine, but when I update the app it acts like it was uninstalled. Or if I have my camera takes pictures or videos directly to the card, they disappear. I even tried taking them to internal, which works fine. But if I move them to the SD card, they disappear. Basically the only thing my SD card is good for is to use whatever was originally on it before flashing RLS15.

If I can't find a solution by the end of the week, I'll be flashing probably a stock ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] riker147:
Not having this issue at all. It's actually the first time I've read about it. Was it working correctly with a stock Rom? Are you sure it's not a problem with the card? Do you have another one you could try?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kasper DG:
I've never had this issue before. On out of the box stock 4.2, or on RLS 10.2. Same memory card, so it shouldn't be an issue with the card. I have another one I can try when I get home. Just not sure why what's there works, but not stuff put there now?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] SuperKerp:
I ran into a problem updating from RLS 10 to 15. I made sure to wipe completely but I now run into an issue where the phone will hang at Samsung Galaxy S4 splash screen. I did a search in this thread but couldn't find anything. It has been sometime since I checked in and I am hoping I didn't do something wrong because I am a little rusty.

I have tried to reinstall from TWRP and also wiped multiple times as well as fixing permissions. None of that seems to work.

Any suggestions?

I had to Odin back to stock and then come at it again. This worked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kasper DG:
OK so I tested with an 8gb SD card. Everything works fine. Put back in my 64gb SD card, and still have the problem. If I copy/move/or save directly to the SD card, the media goes away.

So I'm guessing RLS15 running 4.3 doesn't fully support 64gb SD cards? Kind of a shame. I need that card working.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1Raiders:
Just chiming in bud...I've been on RLS15 since day one w 64gb sd card no issues at all..im no expert by any means..have u tried reformating ur sd card to see if that might help/solve the issue? Of course back up all ur info on it to ur pc fist

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kasper DG:
Well I think I've isolated the problem to the card. I put it in my computer to move everything off and format it, which is fine, but if I remove the card from the computer then put it back, everything I moved off is back lol. It's like it's in a frozen state. Gonna format soon...

E's HD S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mkoyskip:
hmmm... I've had a similar issue before, both sdcard & thumb drive, but cannot at the moment remember the exact details and/or solution I used.

Perhaps try MiniTool Partition Wizard on the sdcard (delete the partition, create another, etc) instead of using your mobile or Windows. I also had an issue that I would delete files using my mobile but they would not be deleted, confirmed by plugging into my computer. If you're using a USB hub try bypassing that also.

Also last year supposedly there was an issue using SanDisk 64gb sdcards with Galaxy's... not confirmed but I asked them before I purchased my own some months ago and the "issue" was taken care of already. I am using a SanDisk Ultra 64GB MicroSDXC Class 10/UHS-1 (not the speeds I'd like when benchmarking, but many of those tests are just dumb) and works just awesomely for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dustfinger314:
Is it a sandisk? Perhaps this one? Have you had it for several months? Not a hyperdrive problem. I spent several days trying to solve this issue, downloaded every program people said might fix the issue, nothing worked. As I understand it, it essentially believes that its write protect switch is flipped, depsite that microSD cards don't actually have one. There was absolutely nothing I could do that would affect the card in any way, including

dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/[the SD card]

I ended up abandoning hope, backing up all of my data, and then RMAing the card at sandisk's website. I've had the replacement for a couple of months now. We'll see how it holds up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kasper DG:
Yup, that's the one lol. Will they exchange it then?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kenpachi 91:
I have the same microSD card and had no issues with it. I haven't flashed hyperdrive (since I'm waiting on the KitKat build). However I had no issues flashing Bonestock via twrp
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kasper DG:
Ya I'm not sure what happened. It's the same card I had with stock rom and when I flashed RLS10.2, both with no issues. Either it was coincidental, or something messed up during the flash of RLS15, because after that is when I started having this problem. Every thing about the rom works fine though. Just not sure what caused my card to mess up.

I did contact Sandisk through their website. Hopefully they'll exchange it or something.
