My new Sandisk card works fine.

RMA for a new one, so there is obviously an issue with their manufacture process.

My suggestion is to contact sanDisk support and they will ask for an image of your card, serial number etc... then ask you to cut the old card in half, and take an image to prove that you have done so... then will send out a new card free...

Boom!

[AT&T HTC One (M7)] bothfly:
Can someone test this out for me.

If I use the HTC headset and try and fast forward a song using Spotify or Google Music, the One dials the last call I made before fast forwarding the song.

It works fine with the HTC music app, I'm only having this issue with Spotify or Google Music.

Anyone else??

Thanks
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] graffixnyc:
It's a known issue and has been on other HTC devices. Install the app headset button controller and it will work (there is a setting to check that's specifically for the redial bug on HTC devices)

[Networking] ZeroXtreme:
I've been using my SanDisk SDIO Wi-Fi card for a year, and I have encountered some glitches, but nothing really serious.

The best drivers for this are the Socket Communications drivers version 1.42E ( http://www.socketcom.com/support/support_wlan.asp?Type=SDIO ). It works way better than the SanDisk drivers which have not been updated for a long time already.

With regards to the SanDisk Combo SDIO 256+WiFi card, the problem is the ability of Windows Mobile to address the funtion of both the wifi and the memory module at the same time. This should have been resolved in the SE version of Windows Mobile 2003, but I have not seen an update from the vendor specifically designed for WM2003SE.

Another SDIO Wi-Fi option is the AmbiCom card ( http://www.ambicom.com/products/wave2net/wl11-sd.html ), I have tried it and it works, but I was not able to test it extensively.
[Networking] markh:
I got a Socket Wifi card. I had constant problems connecting to the network though the latest drivers seemed to resolve the problem. But now the card seems to have stopped working after 5 months. I would still would recommend a Socket card since there's not much choice, the only other one is from Pretec. The cards aren't physically the most robust so you have to handle them with care. Storing it in a wallet probably didn't help in my case.

Good morning,

Are there any simple apps like Quiet Hours from Cyanogen Mod? I just want to be able to set a constant time period (8 pm to 7 am, for example) where nothing but the ringer works - no notifications for email or messages or anything. Just the phone ringer.

I don't need anything super fancy. This was one of my favorite apps from CM.

Help?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] blackguy101:
Let me start off by saying that I am not trying to troll at all I am just generally curious. I for one have had a galaxy nexus, and I loved it (minus the battery life) and also been through a galaxy s 3 and 4. Off the bat the 3 and 4 both have a butt load of features that I always missed when I would flash stock android roms and it always seemed like the camera software was far better than anything a stock android device can get. I do get that stock android devices get updates directly from google and I also get that the skins take up a lot more space but besides those reasons is that alone what makes stock android far better than anything else? I hear people complain about the tw skins or sense skins about how it looks so ugly but isnt a simple fix for this is to just add another launcher like apex? Anyways this is just my personal opinion on the matter and I just wanted to see other peoples inputs. Like I said im not trolling but I just want to see what everyone else thinks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WA_Bob:
It's a combination of factors, IMO. There are some folks who are Android "purists" who like the hardware, but want just the stock version of Android better than anything an OEM adds onto it. Kind of like stripping down a car to keep the engine and the body shape, but tuning it to run the way you like it. Most of the people here at least want to have the ability to remove any apps or parts of the "skin" (like Touchwiz) that they don't want or use and want them gone so that they're not taking up system resources. On the SGS4, for instance, there's been allot of blow back at Samsung because they've crammed so much software for their bells and whistles that the 16GB model has almost half it's system memory (the area where applications, games, Google Play Music or movies, etc.... have to reside) that there's hardly any room to include a new launcher and most of the Apps you might want to run. The expandable storage is nice for pictures, videos, or MP3s you already own and want to store, but it's not usable by applications.

In short, if it's my phone I want total control over what is and what isn't on it no matter what Samsung and AT&T want to cram down my throat. Samsung's Camera software is something I'd probably like to keep, but the silly air gestures and "touchless scrolling" I could care less about. Not to mention the load of programs AT&T also drops on there which I never use and am perfectly happy to see gone also.

If you're happy with your phone the way you currently have it, then no one else's opinion should matter as to how you should have it set up. But there's a wide variety of what people do and don't want on their phones and if they want Vanilla AOSP or CM or modified Touchwiz and they're willing to trade off some Stock features to get what they want, this is one of the places people come to do that. As long as someone accepts the responsibility that they may brick their phone and void the warranty by playing with the software, then they should have the freedom to do whatever they want with it. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] vanylapep:
As of today, is it possible to install stock Android on the current Samsun Galaxy S4 (mine is from Canada Fido).
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] j510:
Funny thing is, I wish google didn't install their bloat onto the gs4. If there's already a stock music app why preinstall google music. Same with all their other bloat. Not needed like chrome. They should of made google software optional. Keep samsungs in since it is their product.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AutoUnion:
I honestly think that stock Android is pretty overrated. I've had the Galaxy Nexus and Nexus 4 and they were both pretty terrible. What makes Android so awesome are the different tweaks and software that the makers use. Sure, the simplicity of stock is fine, but that's about it. For example, the TW SG4 will have IR support, a better camera app, etc. You loose a lot of functionality with going stock.

What I really want to see is some fusion rom with the stock Android mixed with all the TW goodies, like the gestures, camera app, etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mg2195:
Because, manufaturers have to keep a crlertain amount of stock android included in their phones...as in a certain percentage of software with no touchwiz...so that is likely why they left some of the stock google apps in
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mattdm:
The hardware might be Samsung's product, but Android is Google's product.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] alphadog00:
Manufacturers don't have to keep anything. They use stock android as the basis. The pieces you mention like ir blaster use drivers outside of stock android. If devs had these drivers then we would have stock android with goodies. Stock is good because source code is available for all of it. That means it can be heavily customized. Touch wiz is Samsung's and they will not release the source.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
First off, it is all preference--no phone, OS is perfect for everyone.

I have been flashing roms heavily for over 3 years. Mostly HTC like the Nexus One and One S.

I found things I liked in both Sense and AOSP. I did like theming status bar items, color, look etc. Most of the flashing was to get newer versions of Sense and Android. I was running 4.2.2 on One S long before it was on hardly any phones.

It did seem no matter what custom rom you ran, you lost something you liked from another one. There were always minor issues with wifi, audio, reboots etc for many people. Some roms just didn't play well with some phones. So, lots of soft bricks and frustration. I was lucky there.

This is the first phone I have owned that I have no interest in flashing custom roms. I can't believe i even like and don't want to change the wallpaper. I usually always made my own semi-gloss black. But, the colors are so vibrant and icons stand out extremely well on S4. Would like to get rid of balloon on lockscreen. But, no one stares at their lockscreen.

With all the trolls and nay-sayers on the forum, both mine and my son's S4's run perfect. No lags and all the "gimicks" work as advertised. I find myself using them more and more. Wouldn't want to give them up now. S-Voice is perfect and Air View I really like. Don't use the scroll though. S-Memo is an essential for me now. A carry over from Note 2. I even like the stock calendar which I hated when just testing the Note 1 and 2 awhile back. Love being able to create and move calendar events by voice. Don't use GMail calendar anymore other than my work one is tied to it. Camera is great too.

I could see rooting for Nandroids and Titanium though.

This is a great phone regardless of what others say. But, each to there own--:)

Oh yeah--love Blocking Mode--an imitation of Quiet Hours on Android--couldn't live without it

And I don't know about Touch Whiz. But, whatever it is suppose to be it works great on S4

The "quirky" Air Gestures work fine too. Palm for Screenshots is a little tough to work out though

There is so much on this phone it will take me 6 months to learn and remember to use all of it--:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] barondebxl:
Every time there's a new nexus coming out I have to get it. I enjoy it for about a month then it bores me to death and I go back to a Samsung, HTC or LG phone. I much prefer the UI overlays over stock. Not that stock is bad or anything, it runs super smooth but it is just boring. Hopefully KLP will bring some visual changes as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
It's like driving a Chevelle Super Sport (SS) 454, which I did. Compared to a 2013 fully technical (GPS/Audio etc) loaded Mercedes or equivalent. The Chevelle had all the power you could ever want. But, in the end that is all it had. Now you have all the bells and whistles on these cars like the S4 has fun features.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mr_blanket:
I came from the Galaxy Nexus to the GS4 1337.

What I hate the most is the duplication of functions! That drives me insane. Google already has a contacts app, so why do I need a fugly AT&T contacts app? Why do I need a AT&T navigation app AND GMaps? Why do I need a Google calendar, AT&T calendar, Samsung calendar all on the same phone?? Just setting up the phone from scratch infuriates me... skip skip skip skip skip skip skip skip :eek:

and my favorite... TWO APP STORES! That was jaw dropping. It's a constant assault to your intelligence trying to automate everything in the worst way possible. It's like Samsung apps are at war with Google Apps and everyone is at war with AT&T apps.

The very first possible second I could load CM10.1 on this phone, I did.

While I was waiting on the unlocked bootloader, I did play around with the S Health, WatchON, and the camera/video, and I did enjoy them and miss them from my CM 10.1 experience, but even that couldn't make up for the garbage installed on this phone from the factory.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] viny2cool:
I bought Nexus 4 after already had Galaxy s3 for a while. Even though Nexus 4 is fantastic device, I thought its too vanilla for me. Even though compared to S3, there was not much feature differences. I don't think I will ever get Pure Nexus phone again..may be tablet will be fine. The other thing is I sometimes get into a phase where I want to use AOSP rom so I flash CM10.1 or AOKP. But as soon i get bored back to TW rom. Can't do that with Nexus devices...

The only thing i want from Stock is the AOSP messaging app. The quick reply from the notification drop down and pop up is awesome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] PuffinNugz:
God forbid they give you a choice of which app to use. Having a choice is one of the main factors that make people choose android over ios.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mr_blanket:
Agreed, but not allowing the complete uninstall of a duplicated app goes against the fundamental philosophies of android.

This goes for both Google, Apple, Windows or any other OS. What I want is the most basic OS possible and add apps as I see fit from the app store. I do not want anything forced on my device. The closest you can get to that nirvana is an AOSP ROM or Nexus.

.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zelendel:
Pure Android will mainly attract the developers as it is a great base to work from. Most average people will chose Sense or TW or any of the other Android distros (as that is more correct them calling them skins) due to the features. Most of those features can't be utilized by Devs unless they pay for the SDK like Samsung is doing now with them for the sensors in the S4. Only big companies are gonna be able to afford to pay what Samsung wants for the SDK to develop with.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] unremarked:
This is a gross overexaggeration of the storage situation on the SGS4.

The only way I can think of that you can fill the ~9.7gb of internal storage with app data is if you're downloading every high resolution, high graphic intensive game available for the platform. If that's your case, then you're absolutely right. While admittedly not a high number, I have over 68 apps(most of which I use on a near daily basis) installed on my phone with the highest occupying 64.93mb. Most apps range from 10-30mb. At 64.93mb, I can have ~152.97 of those sized apps on my phone before running into storage capacity issues.

I like the rest of your post though. :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Rambler358:
One of the reasons I got the S4 and gave my iPhone 5 to the wife was mostly the software features Samsung added. I really do like the voice control for the camera and music apps, and I find some of the air gestures pretty good too. Going with a "Nexus" experience S4, I'd lose the very features I got the phone for.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] haloimplant:
I think it's easy to say meh to stock android now when the Samsung ROM is the latest android version. Also it may even be easy to say for any phone on 4.x, especially 4.1 or higher, since android hasn't changed much since the major facelift that was 4.0 ICS.

Project butter in 4.1 was nice but purely cosmetic (and it didn't even seem to last to 4.2 which seems to stutter again). Lock screen widgets in 4.2 are bleh, and completely useless to people like me that need to use PIN lock with security policies.

Those of us who had devices left by Samsung at 2.3 gingerbread know the pain of waiting for a major/desirable android upgrade that isn't coming soon or at all. Someday sooner or later when 4.3 or 5.0 or 5.1 come out some folks who are happy enough right now with 4.2.2 touchwiz (including myself) will be drooling over the latest android goodness and looking to ditch the Samsung official path and get on the stock or cyanogenmod bandwagon.

Hey guys. I need some help with a nandroid.

First of all, does a nandroid backup the data from the internal storage?

I made a nandroid a few days ago before switching from an aosp ROM to a touchwiz ROM. I wiped the data during the flash. Didn't really like it so I went back. Now I've lost all my ringtones and about 140 pictures. I've always wiped data during flashes and never had this happen. I have nandroid manager and I see there's a couple 1.5 gig folders and a few 500 meg ones as well. Is there a way to go through my nandroid and try to find my pictures? I mean if a nandroid really backs up everything then there's gotta be a way to get my stuff back, right?

Help please!

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] andrewjt19:
Aosp is 4.2.2 file system format which is in the /sdcard/0/ folder. TW is 4.1 which is in /sdcard/.... I've found that if you use ROM toolbox go into explorer, navigate to /data/media and move everything from the /data/media/0 back to /data/media except the TWRP file if you're using Team Win recovery.

This is covered pretty good in the Galaxy Nexus forums...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] E30Nova:
I did flash the downgrade zip after flashing the TW rom, but I still couldn't find my pictures or ringtones...even after going back to aosp.

Yeah, I've had the box checked for sync-ing photos on my google account ever since I got the phone, but it never sync'd. Suddenly now I have a folder in my gallery called "auto backup"...:confused:

Weird, if I go to the /data folder on my computer, there's no media folder in it. But if I use root explorer, the media folder is there and all my pictures are too. :D

BUT, I copied all the pictures and pasted them in /storage/sdcard0/DCIM/camera thinking they'd show up in the folder, but it didn't work. I even tried booting into recovery and fixing permissions and wiping both caches, they still don't show up.

Am I doing it wrong?
