I use go SMS pro. I tried using the SMS pop up and didn't like it too much because when I was replying to a long text I wasn't able to see what the person wrote to see what else to respond to. I came from an iPhone which I could bring down the message I was typing down some or cutting and pasting it back quick. This s4 is my second android phone I've ever had since the first mytouch on T-Mobile and android has come a long way since which I love my s4 a lot but there's still stuff I miss about the iPhone.

thanks :) I don't want a pop up per se, just the text of the SMS in the notification drawer and the reply / read / delete options underneath as in CM 10.1. Sliding Messaging seems to be working for that, but that means I have to use a totally different app...

Edit: Used already custom recovery trying to wipe the cache and format it same result when i go back to the stock recovery it dont work and restart again
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Obagleyfreer:
Flash a custom recovery like CWM and try with that.

If it still doesn't work then format your cache partition using CWM, that should fix it.

Even i reflash on STOCK official rom the CSC BTU won't move away and the MDM is under DBT (this i found strange)

I flashed the stock recovery too and tryed to make a wipe data/factory (this work) and wipe cache partition (android who turn a bit and make the dead after this don't work, it auto restart the phone) :(

Edit:

on CMW

For wipe Davik cache i get this when i enter on it

It don't work... :(
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afilopou:
If after wiping cache, your phone reboots, then its "normal".Same happens with my s4 and my nexus 4.

In order to change CSC, in now days you must be root.Sorry for misunderstanding,but your phone is under BTU or DBT?

If you are rooted try the application https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.manniakk.cscselector&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tYW5uaWFray5jc2NzZWxlY3RvciJd

,tick the box (root enabling) and check your current CSC status (you can check it through stock recovery as well)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanhai:
He reboot without wiping cache because normally when i stuck on the bootloop Samsung Galaxy S4 logo he don't want go more far than this he just stuck so i thinked the Wipe cache partition isn't wiped because he don't wanna work... 2 days ago i could wipe the cache without getting a reboot my phone is under BTU cause of the pre-root (I9505XXUAME2_I9505OXXAMDB_I9505XXUAME2_HOME.tar) i think so.

About the CSC i know this part need to be root for use CSC select then i can change the CSC and need to make a wipe factory/data of it

The problem is only even i install custom recovery for wipe the cache partition => he stuck.

Then i need to use this method: For not stuck on the boot

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lzk123:
Try flashing PIT and stock firmware at the same time, using odin3.04. Don't use any pre-rooted or modified roms. Use the PURE stock roms which can be found at http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9505

After that, enter stock recovery and wipe data and cache. Phone will reboot. Flash stock rom again and see if there's anymore problems.

Edit: When and how did the cache partition problem happen? Sorry couldn't understand what happen in 1st post. Is the cache problem gone when u flash stock rom AND never perform any root process or CSC change?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanhai:
There is no way to get back the wipe cache partition i don't know why :( Before he worked on my S4 when i bought it i'm sure.

The only way i think the phone cache partition is broken maybe because i used:

-Flash another rom pre-root ?

-Triangle Away ?

-Root ?

-PIT file + Stock Rom (for unbrick) ?

-Multiwindows manager ?

-Change CSC ?

-Custom recovery ?

I have used so many flashes so i don't know from where the problem is from now :(

I tryed to full wipe data/factory dalvik and cache partition too and then i flashed on stock rom and again used wipe data/factory and cache (who don't work always on recovery stock)

I find more problem on the S4 than the S3 really on the S3 i never had theses such of problem :crying:

[MENTION=5267236]lzk123[/MENTION]: I tryed already to use the PIT + STOCK to flash and reflash again one more time with the MDM (DBT) nothing happen still the same problem the phone start normally but sometimes he don't wipe the cache when i flash a new rom isn't full wipe because the wipe cache partition is broken, he don't work correctly i need to use the wipe cache partition many time on recovery 3-5 times most of times for he wipe the cache and work (example i flash first on a ME2 (BTU) i reflash on a MDM (DBT) the he still keep the CSC (BTU) after to rewipe many time the cache and the data, i procced like this i wipe data/factory 1 time and after i wipe cache partition x1 time before, phone restart and i remove the battery before the logo appear Samsung SIV and i reboot in recovery stock for rewipe 1 more time the cache partition and i let it run sometimes i need make this 3-5 times before he wipe it... how i know it? Because he change the CSC when i boot recovery.. it's my theory about this problem but can't find how to repair the cache parition from the stock recovery... :(

Have u tried flashing custom recovery and using it to wipe cache partition? Are you sure you have flashed the stock rom properly? Try using another usb port for flashing.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vanhai:
Yes, i done this too already.

It was the same result this don't change anything even if i wipe full with a custom recovery. I tryed CWM, TWRP and PHILZ.

I always reflash on stock for test if this solve the problem but nothing same each try.. :(

Another usb from the S3 i tryed too dont work also. I tryed with Odin 3.04 et 07 nothing change the stock recovery who reboot without wipe the cache..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mashi:
listen. I did test wipe cache on samsung store's s4. It got error and reboot also.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lzk123:
I don't really know what's the cause of the problem now.

I've tried nand-erase thing in odin before, and it somehow solved some of the problems I face before. BUT I would NOT recommend that you do that as it might cause a brick.

Maybe you can try flashing again? But this time on another computer. If it still fails, u might want to flash stock rom and recovery and send for exchange.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xMGWx:
Tumbs up on this one.

Tried to do this yesterday but it was a special store edition so i could not even get into recovery mode on that one.

So if i understand you correct, when you did whipe the paratition cache the droid was working for a few sec then turned dead with a triangel and the the phone auto rebooted?

If i can recall my own experience with this was after i flashed from a 3 branded firmware (HTS) to a original NEE firmware, had not touched the android system recovery before this. In normal manners after the flash i factory restored the phone through android recovery and when i wiped the cache it did restart with "dead" droid. The CSC was changed from HTS to BTU.

No root, no custom recovery just one flash to an original firmware with odin 3.07 no errors.

After this i flashed a pre-rooted firmware from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2250824 and tried unsucessfuly to change CSC.

After this i went back to stock (HTS) firmware.

I have used odin 3.07 and 3.04 when i flashed.

This makes me belive this is normal operation with the S4 (reboot after whipe cache with "dead" droid) and if it is a problem then everybody who have flashed through ordin should have it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mashi:
I did test on 2 phone in samsung store and 3 phone in carrier store. all i9505. all got same error and reboot. unless you think samsung store will root the phone and flash it with something else. i assume that's the problem on their recovery. since it is trying to wipe it secure. but it didn't.. that's why it said errors.

Hi all,

Been using my XDAII for a long will now (1.60.00WWE, Ext 1.60.50) and today I managed to hard reset it by accident! :roll:

I was originally just going to preform a sprite restore but now I'm thinking about using this an excuse to upgrade everything. I've taken a short look through the threads here and there seems to be lots of newer versions being used.

Would somebody be able to point me in the right direction to which rom version I should be using (recommended) for my XDA2 (UK o2)?

Many thanks.

I would go for the translated 2.20 CHS version because it's an official one (albeit Chinese) and it's the latest. Also it has Media Player 10 incorporated and imho it's the most stable one as well.

Hi all, I'm new here, so I apologize for any noob mistakes, but I think this question fits this forum.

Basically, my t-mob One was humming along until a couple days ago the SIM wasn't recognized. I popped it out, put it back, nothing. Tried another SIM, just in case, nothing.

So, I'm guessing this is a hardware issue, but with the phone unlocked, and no RUU available for t-mobile yet, I'm wondering if HTC will deny the service claim?

Anyone have any experience with this type of return?

So the new sim-card tray didn't fix the issue, and they asked me to send the phone in, but got a call from the escalation department and they asked me to hold off on sending it in. Apparently they might want to have a different department take a look at it.

So far though, nothing about the unlocked status has come up, except that if it is unlocked, it would be returned in a factory restored state.

Doesn't sound like it'll be an issue, but I'll update once everything is resolved.

Hey Guys,

So I searched throughout the forum and could not find anyone who posted about this yet. Since I got the galaxy S4, I've noticed my phone charges incredibly fast. Plugging it in for 20 minutes will make my battery go up somewhere in the range of 20% at least. For some reason over the past two days, my charging time has slowed down drastically. I now plug it in for 20 minutes and I'm lucky if the battery goes up 2%. No drastic changes to the phone. I have rooted it, but haven't done anything else besides freezing some bloatware using titanium about a month ago. Anyone know what might be causing this, and what I can do?
