hmmmm...thanks

The moment I click on the "tethering Widget" (or even if I use FoxFi) - the T-Mobile Hotspot pops-up. That is telling me I am not bypassing the T-Mobile hotspot/limitations.

Ideas?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dreadk:
Hi,

I'm recently trying to change the hardware key layout to get something closer to a vanilla experience ie :

- BACK on the hardware menu key

- HOME on the hardware home key

- APP_SWITCH on the hardware back key

Mapping the hardware menu key to the BACK functionality worked fine, and of course the hardware home key works already as I want.

But I can't manage to have the APP_SWITCH working on the back key (or on any other key in fact).

What I did to get to this result is editing sec_touchkey.kl (In /system/usr/keylayout) like this :

key 139 BACK

key 158 APP_SWITCH

key 102 HOME

key 217 SEARCH

Does any one has any idea why APP_SWITCH doesn't work ?

And if you have any workaround to get to the same result it would be fine for me too :)

Thanks !

PS : I'm on PAC man ROM on a I9505
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tt c6:
I bought a brand new Motorola Photon Q at FULL PRICE from Sprint a few weeks ago because I do NOT believe in contracts and remain contract free.

My phone shuts off every time I touch the Lock Screen button on top or when I BEGIN to slide out the QWERTY keyboard. (NO drops, cracks, scratches, water damage, abuse, etc verified by Sprint store)

I have the $11 a month Total Equipment Protection.

First, they can't fix my phone at the Sprint Corporate store.

Then, the want me to wait THREE BUSINESS DAYS for a REFURBED phone because the Sprint Corporate Repair Center does NOT have any in stock.

Lastly, the manager REFUSES to simply give me the ONE new Photon Q LTE they have in stock by telling me "If I give you a new Photon Q for your Total Equipment Protection Claim E-ticket I will be written up and face disciplinary action and/or lose my job."

Why the complete lack of service?

I am paying a HUGE MONTHLY PREMIUM of $11 a month for TEP, and my phone is new and still under the factory warranty.

Sprint is in the business to make monthly fees.

If I don't have a working phone, they can't charge me for monthly service.

If my Comcast cable box died, regardless of who owns it, Comcast would make it right..... even at their cost..... because they want my monthly payment.

I am NOT under contract with Comcast, and I am NOT under contract with Sprint either.

So, why aren't they bending over backwards to get a working phone in my hands ????

Not too long ago, you could walk into any corporate store and walk out with a free refurb with NO insurance and NO $50 fee.

This complete lack of customer service has me wanting to cancel Sprint and simply take my Photon Q LTE to the prepaid side or simply getting a new phone from another prepaid carrier.

This way, I can save money off of the monthly bill and just buy a cheap "backup" phone from Craigslist in case of emergencies so I can be my "own personal warranty and repair department".

PS.

The Sprint corporate store made me wait around for 4 hours.

This was after I IMMEDIATELY displayed, and duplicated 3 times, that my phone was shutting off every time I simply touched the "lock screen" button on top.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I look forward to hearing comments on Sprint's current customer service performance and policies as well.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xLoveHateLegend:
They pulled the same crap with me when I tried to get my phone replaced. I ended up just saying **** it and replacing the parts myself. Though I am on a contract... But I also do pay for the TEP... I think their (lack of) support is ****. And it's really got me considering switching carriers.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tt c6:
I've been on the phone with Sprint customer service all day.

Been given nothing but a run around.

They have not located me a phone.

They have no idea where it will ship from.

They have no idea when it will ship.

My phone will not power up and I have been missing calls and texts for 2 days.

I keep requesting that they tell a Sprint store to give me a new phone, or even a refurb, and I will drive there to get it.

No one will agree to help me.

WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH SPRINT ??????
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
That really sucks...

What's sad nowadays, is companies don't really care unless you make a big stink... and perhaps you need to make a BIG one.

Post on all their social media outlets. I've heard of mountains being moved simply because an issue was made public.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] xaelith:
I know it's a little late now, but the next phone you buy, I would recommend getting from Best Buy, and get their protection plan. I've been told that I can literally walk out the door seconds after buying a phone, "drop" it in the parking lot, walk back in, and get a new phone on-the-spot. The best part is, it costs the same as the TEP (or you can opt to pay in full for about $170 for 2 yrs of protection), and NO $100 insurance claim fee.

I don't mean to sound like a salesman, but I've had to do enough TEP claims to decide that most big business doesn't care anymore about the consumer. Best Buy's plan is the only one I've come across these days where I can leave with a brand new phone within minutes.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tetrabyt:
I totally agree on this one.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Snakes1:
Now that sprint contracts out the TEP insurance stuff to asurion (asurian?) thats the procedure. I broke my Q's screen within a couple months of buying it and I had to go through the same crap were I couldnt get an in-stock phone immediately because if a screen is cracked, you must go through the TEP process, and if your phone isn't the hottest new thing selling, you will likely get a refurb.

I have had a quite a few refurbs in the past through TEP (all because of my own fault), and they have all been good working and good looking units. I broke the phone, so I would have taken almost any working phone. But in your case, I can see why its bothersome.

[Galaxy S 4 General] Gambler_3:
It is so sad to see samsung dropping the ball big time on the durability of their phones. Remember the galaxy S1 and S2? They still remain some of the toughest touch screen phones. However all that changed with the S3 which broke on the first sight of concrete and sometimes by merely getting some force inside the pocket or so I have heard. Now again seems same story with S4 all over again. :(

I think the main reason for all this is the ridiculous obsession with thinness, corning clearly seemed to have dropped the ball. Or is it samsung who doesnt care about it anymore?
[Galaxy S 4 General] BamAlmighty:
Samsung did not drop the ball. There are just as many posts in the HTC One forums of people cracking screens. Even the Iphone 5 and 4s have widespread reports of cracked screens.

When you mix a thin device with ultra thin edge to edge glass, you really can't expect it to survive every impact.

Glass isn't diamond, nor are Sapphire screens indestructible, as thin as they are made if you hit them in the right spot they will crack.

It is the price we pay for having sleek devices. Quit your whining.
[Galaxy S 4 General] exhardy:
What I think is that gorilla glass 2 and 3 are really stronger, but those manufacturers take the advantage of it,

maintaining a level of sturdiness (which seems very low?) but keep making the glass thinner, which could make the phone slimmer.

The S3 has a curved glass which sticks out of the bezel of the phone, which I think is the reason of why S3 is weaker than S2.

but S4... :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 General] haloimplant:
It's hard to say how much of it is the glass itself and how much is the rest of the phone design. My S1 has been a tank for sure (at least half a dozen hard drops) but the plastic bezel around the glass is so much thicker than on the new phones.

I'm being careful but I doubt a bare S4 would survive hard drops so I got a clear rubbery case for it. Funny thing is when I look at the two phones the case brings the S4 to about the same thickness, and also adds about the same 'buffer zone' around the glass. Check it out here: http://imgur.com/a/YPCPn#1

I'm trying not to test it (the softer plastic of the case is also grippier which is nice) but hopefully the S4 with the case is just as tough or tougher than the S1.

I guess one could see the push to thinner more fragile phones as an offered choice, you can have a smaller 8mm thick phone that is fragile or a bigger ~10mm thick unit that should be tougher. I'm really liking the weight and feel of the S4 with the case, while whenever I tried a case on the thicker S1 it made it feel like a clunky brick.
[Galaxy S 4 General] noideaforusername:
You need to know that the strengthen of GG isn't its shatter resistance but its scratch resistance.

This is why Corning always recommend manufacturer to put a rim around the display to avoid the screen from shatter even if it drops on the screen.

This is what Samsung did in the S1 and S2 but didn't in the S3. In the S4 there is a rim around the display but not on the corners, so when it falls on the top corners the display cracks. That's it.

Anyway, get a case and you'll see that it'll survive many drops :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] MrPhilo:
Of course the S1 & S2 has a smaller screen so its less prone to crack than the bigger screens (S3, S4). Thought this was common sense.
[Galaxy S 4 General] chalid:
Fine, someone pointed that out.

The SGS1 & 2 had smaller screens, larger bezel to display ratio and are lighter. Of course they are sturdier.
[Galaxy S 4 General] cram42:
Yeah unfortunately this just seems to be the way it is. Manufacturers are making glass stronger but then using that to make devices thinner. As mentioned the S4 is particularly weak because of the screen's sheer size and minimal bezel to protect it.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Gambler_3:
Galaxy nexus is pretty sturdy as well.....

IPhone 4/4S were very fragile despite the small screen.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MrPhilo:
The curve screen seems to benefit it. I know there some scienctific explaination but im terrible at explaining.

The iPhone 4 & 4S front is all glass, so it breaks easier.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jamiee6610:
Its not Samsung specific, if you look they are pretty much coating the phones.

They are making the phones thinner, the screens are thinner and bigger so more brittle. I think unless they can use a new material that has a far higher strength we are going to see more and more of this or make the phone thicker?
[Galaxy S 4 General] ojstagg93:
I think that people think gorilla glass is alot stronger then it is. For sure its stronger then most glass but at the end of the day its still glass and it will crack and shatter

[Galaxy S 4 General] MrQues:
It's all about the angle of impact and how the energy from the impact spreading doing whatever damage it does on the way.

However as mentioned by some others - more glass there is more chance of a damage - as you can use your phone if the plastic/metal bits are damaged on the outside - however if the screen does get damaged, being touch screen you are more or less screwed as the 'keyboard' would also be unusable.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Phandroid:
Hey guys, just for the record. I've already found a few microscopic scratches on my supposedly indestructible gorilla glass 3. When I see all those scratching the screen with a knife videos on YouTube I really don't understand how people get away with it without having scratched the screen. I always keep my phone in my left jeans pocket with the screen facing the leg. I also never put it screen down on anything whatsoever plus I'm very careful with the screen just because I hate screen protectors. So I really don't understand where these scratches come from. I mean they're so small that you can barely see them with your naked eye. But nevertheless they're there. My 3 year old galaxy s1 which I treated like a ***** for the best part of the last year doesn't have any scratches whatsoever. Just saying
[Galaxy S 4 General] @rbiter:
gorilla glass has never been indestructible. and it is probably silica that is scratching your screen. that, or you've mistaken your oleophobic coating to have scratches and just need to wipe it properly.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Phandroid:
Sorry but silica are you referring to? I was hoping it would be smears but you really can't wipe it away... unfortunately

[Galaxy S 4 General] BrianZephyr:
Every smartphone owner should buy a quality screen protector and protective case. These two things probably exponentially increase the odds of your phone surviving daily impacts. It only makes sense to spend a little bit of money to protect your $600 investment.
[Galaxy S 4 General] biffsmash:
It's all about the surround of the glass and the curvature in my honest opinion.

The S2 had a lip that went all around the end, so the screen wouldn't hit the ground on a face plant onto concrete.

The Sony Xperia Z has the same, and the phone survives a lot more drops (Dragontail glass might help too as it's also very bendy for want of words).

The S3 had a screen that was exposed and seems to curve out, and so cracks and shatters at the mere mention of wood or stone. I imagine the S4 is no different.

The HTC One's 4 corners seem to be ever so slightly raised, so my two drops from just over 1 meter onto stone tiles have so far resulted only in damage to the four corners.

I'd always put a case on my Samsung Phone, but since they're so light, that's not a problem.
[Galaxy S 4 General] xpc21:
Its so ironic these new expensives phones...i remember when we had Nokia 6120 and Motorola StarTAC, you could kick then and nothing would happen...and for a low cost. Now, you buy an iPhone 5,a Galaxy S4 for a large amount of money and a less than a month they´re already like old, with sensible materials....had last year and iPhone 5 and with a few weeks its body was already risked..now im less then month with a S4 and i just sitted in my bed with it in my pocket and screen got cracked....its a shame this, spend money with sensible materials.

whys that? is there a problem with it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
No problem with it, but the least times you need to flash anything involving odin, usb cables and download mode least chances you have of something going wrong. Plus there's no need to triangle away if it's not for the reason that you need to take the phone in because there is something wrong that you can't repair and you need to cover traces of root. It doesn't have a low limit of flashes as some of the early devices had.

+1 for Ed, Resetting the counter and removing everything involving rooting is only done if you want to go snag a warranty for your device and

When I stress the phone (installing 20 apps at once from store, or running any 3D game) the phone locks up.

I can press Home button, but it takes about a minute to get back to homescreen.

Afterwards the phone runs smooth again, until i try to do something "heavy"

Any ideas?

I already tried to Hard reset from hboot.

Should i just Ship it in to get fixed again?

[Java for Android App Development] sirTen:
I am working on an Android app with speech recognition. The program needs to have continuous speech recognition. The speech library only needs to be about 10-15 words/Phrases.

I have experimented with Google Now's Speech API, but it doesn't give good results with thick non-native accents. (The App will be used by non-english speakers in Southern India).

I was thinking that if my App could be trained, the problem would be easier. By this I mean, that in the beginning, the user can go to a special Activity where he will be shown a word by the app, and the user has to say it. This can be done multiple times for each phrase/word. Once the training of the App is complete, The user will take the device, and go on his inspection rounds. Once he reaches the inspection point, he will just say the status of the object: Example: 'Good', 'Bad', 'Needs Maintenance' etc. The App will record the status, along with the position and time, and send it to the server.

Right now my App does all this, excluding the Voice component.

I was wondering if there are any existing Libraries or projects that I could use. Is it possible to use java's speech recognition library, or is there any other way of going about this?
