Make sure to uncheck "hide system service" in appquantine

I have done the xposed installer and disable tetherprovision in the nottach xposed module. Still doesn't work.

I tried your method, but in appquantine's setting, make sure uncheck "hide system service" otherwise, you won't see the "teherprovision".

Thank you for your write up. This works for me so far.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] msn.debord:
Just rename tetherprovision in the system/app folder and it will work

tmease,

This is slightly off topic, but how do you like the S4 Active compared the Atrix 2? I'm about to pull the trigger and upgrade.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
The Active is with out a doubt a better phone. If i was you i would look at the moto x or the lg g2 though.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] cowenby:
Thanks. I've been looking at the Moto X too. But it's a tough decision.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
Moto X is a step down IMO a medium range device. I like it, dont get me wrong but if you are looking for a different phone wait for the G2, Nexus 5, or future S5. You want a high end device...

the moto X is about to get a midrange device price too... $100

Anyone gotten this to work? I have followed the instructions exactly. However about 10 seconds after I open Wallet "the aprox 5 min screen" a popup opens saying that I have to turn on NFC. There is a settings button there, but when I open it there is no NFC options. When I close out of Wallet and go into settings I can see the NFC on/off switch, but it is grey. I am able to flip it on, but it stays grey'd out. Also I am completely unable to flip on the S Beam.

So even when I manually turn on NFC in settings, it doesn't really turn on / work. When I go back into Wallet I get the same popup telling me I need to turn on NFC.

Fortunately I backed up all the original files and when I put them back and fix the permissions NFC works again. But no google wallet.

Any suggestions? Did I not include enough info? Please let me know. Really want to get wallet working.

Thank you in advance!!

When I called to get my 4th replacement active due to defects I was approved to get a LG G2 instead for all my troubles so I jumped on it. It has been fun and I have enjoyed the community but I wont be owning an active. I will still hang around, update bounties and so on. (If I miss a pledge just PM me) Best of luck to you all, will miss you
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] br0adband:
All those problems with a GS4A (and not just one but four of them) and here I am with one that was dropped onto a curb, busted wide open, the battery and battery cover both run over by several cars in traffic, and then I had to "fight" tooth and nail with Samsung to get a new battery cover (which I was eventually successful with) and purchased a new battery from Samsung when they offered me the 50% off coupon for registering my GS4A...

and on top of all the the glass has a spider-web crack in it too and yet it's 100% functional, not a dead pixel in sight. ;)

Sorry to hear you've moved on, good luck with the G2...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] my-blue-snog-box:
It's been nice to share this journey with you. See you around :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
lol yeah but not everyone can get theirs for 100 bucks ;)

Same here, I need this community to all get G2 and let the journey continue ;) I already have a custom rom on mine (Clean rom too) and the screen is the most amazing thing.... I have seen.....
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] davenger1:
Sad to see u move on! Thanks for all that u have done for the Active form, Better yet this form wouldn't exist without your efforts!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] pixel7474:
good point

True - 3 feet really is much. Fingers crossed that I don't drop mine in the toilet though!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] br0adband:
The 3 foot rating just means they tested it at 3 feet deep for 30 mins. It doesn't mean that if you dropped the phone in a 12 foot deep pool and then went after it a few seconds later and it was retrieved in less than a minute that it would be damaged, more than likely it would be just fine at that depth for maybe even a few minutes. They don't test such depths because for the most part such a fall into such a depth of water would be rather rare in everyday life, but dropping one into a toilet (seems to be the biggest and most common issue for some reason), or knocking one into a sink of water (not even a foot deep most likely) or even something like a dunk in a bucket or container of water on a worksite or falling from a pocket or belt-clip into a puddle of water on a construction site are much more common situations.

How many times in the course of a year do you find yourself in a situation where you're either directly standing next to or maybe even inside something that's got more than 3 feet of water? I mean if you work at SeaWorld or something you've got your excuse, maybe you're a lifeguard on a beach someplace or at a pool but, aside from that... 3 feet is plenty. ;)

It's pretty odd that so much focus gets put on this water-resistant thing, seriously. It's pretty well explained what it means and yet people still don't seem to grasp it, as odd as that seems.

Hellooo?

Hello friends im kinda new at this, i bought this AT&T S4 active and it has the i537ucuamf3 baseband, i rooted it and now im trying to get it back to normal unroot and flash from custom rom but i cant find the i537ucuamf3 only the i537ucuamf2, is there any problem if i flash with this one? i really need to do this.

THANKS!!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] dave5777:
The bootloader on the i537 has not yet been in unlocked. You can root and install Safe Strap and run the Google Edition Rom. Until the bootloader is unlocked we cannot flash a ROM. Don't try to flash anything other than the one ROM we can run in safe strap. And there are two Odin oneclicks the mf1 is a fully functional pre-release that will get you back to stock but you will never get any more AT&T updates and the other is 4.3 it has some bugs and can't be rooted.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] strikeIII:
If you want to unroot then just use the unroot option is the Super SU app.

blast

I got one a week ago, and am having a blast. No problems that I know of, I go to work and have the kids show me what to do I have a couple of questions, I have a Indictator Icon at the top that looks like a football with circle in the center and and 3 lines on the top.....whats this indicate can't find it listed anywhere? Does the WatchOn icon stay on even if you don't load the App?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Margarita933:
purchased

For any persons who dove in and have already purchased an S4, before knowing the 'Active' was about to be released, does anyone know of any QUALITY water proof cases available as of yet?

I'm very happy with all capabilities of the S4 i9550 (aussie model) + i do have a good quality gumdrop case from the USA, but a waterproof/scratch/dust proof case would have to be the perfect addition.

Seidio / Otter case don't seem to have anything official available as yet.

If anyone can shed any light onto the issue it would be greatly appreciated.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] htcman724:
The"football" icon is the smart features icon. You can turn off the watchon icon in setting in the app

Samsung Galaxy S4 Active Might be Coming to Verizon

The rugged and water-resistant Samsung Galaxy S4 Active has thus far has been an AT&T exclusive. However, we have heard industry rumors that the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active might just break its exclusivity and come to Verizon. Insider sources familiar with the matter have indicated it is a distinct possibility that we will see the SGS4 Active come to Big Red in the coming months. Nothing is confirmed yet, but we will keep an eye out to let you know if it turns out to be true. For reference here's a spec recap on the phone,

5" 1080x1920 pixels Full HD LCD display

9mm thin

Quad-core 1.9 GHz processor

2 GB of RAM

8 MP camera on the back

LTE/HSPA+ radio

Infrared beamer

16 GB of internal storage

A microSD slot

2600 mAh battery

Android 4.2.2 including the latest TouchWiz Nature UX

IP67 certification - dust- and water-proof in up to three feet of water up to 30 minutes

"Glove Touch" mode - lets you operate the display with mittens on

"Aqua Mode" in the camera app interface - for taking better underwater pictures and video

Also, you can Long-press the volume key up, and a powerful LED light becomes a flashlight

The same volume rocker can be pushed down to use as a camera shutter key directly from locked mode
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
Your quote looks like it came from this post which was last edited June 28, 2013. It's been nearly 4 months since then so I would say that rumor is pretty much dead, unless you know something else.

Man you sure do get around...lol..I wish another high profile company would pick up the s4a ...there is quite a cult following it! where I live I have rooted 4 s4a's and installed safe strap and they didnt seem to care about the warranty being voided. =) maybe if verizon did pick it up there would be more modding/roms idk :cool:

Galaxy S4 - Samsung Wireless Signal Booster

Hi All - I searched the forum and couldn't find anything on this topic - my apologies if I missed something. I just got a Galaxy S4 (switched from iPhone). The signal strengh is very weak in my house - mostly because my downstairs is underground.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah... after the nightmare AT&T had with water damage and having to replace every active up to one time (a 600 dollar deal per person) I highly doubt another company will pick up this device. Like it or hate it the S4 Active has not attracted as many people as it needs to. They may have considered it if the phone was better at keeping water out. Plus with rumors that the S5 will also have water resistant properties it might be worth waiting 4 to 6 months.

Sorry, joshuadjohnson22. I was responding to abraarukuk. I have certainly seen enough of your posts to know that you are exactly where you intend to be.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
So I took the latest Google Wallet update from tonight (Version 2.0-R141-v14-RELEASE) and it removed my NFC payment ability, tap to pay was no longer an option. The only way I was able to get Wallet working was to start from scratch. I completely removed wallet, and followed the instructions quoted. Before changing my build.prop back I made sure Wallet was working and I updated Wallet through the Play Store. I entered Wallet again and made sure that tap to pay was still working in the latest version. Once I confirmed everything was working as before I changed my build.prop back to stock S4 Active and rebooted. Upon rebooting, Wallet no longer allows me to make NFC payments.

It seems that Wallet is now checking the build.prop on every boot, so if you want Wallet to continue to work either don't take the update or leave your build.prop with the values for the Galaxy Nexus.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] TwoStroker37:
I love my active, but I also hate it at the same time. Why?? I hate knowing I got a phone rated for 1 meter at 30 minutes underwater and I'm already on my 2nd free replacement for getting water logged not even underwater. Very much considering picking up a Nexus 5 still.

Anyone use a Verizon Sim on an AT&T SG4 Active

I have an unlocked rooted AT&T SG4 Active and am trying to get it to work on the Verizon network. Anyone have success doing this? Can find it in any of the other forums. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Devo7v:
You need to understand the difference between GSM and CDMA phones. Basically, Verizon and Sprint run on CDMA networks while nearly every other carrier in the world run on GSM networks. You cannot use GSM phones on CDMA networks and vice versa, unless the phone is specifically made to run on both networks.

To answer your question more directly, it is not possible to use the S4 Active (i537 or i9295) on either Verizon or Sprint.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
that would be cool

But LCD = Whiter Whites and not as dark blacks

OLED= Darker Black and greener Whites

From everyone I've seen on reviews they had a hard time telling the difference. In fact some people thought that the screens were the same. They said the LCD was a little brighter. If you look at the OP you can see some side by side photos. I can post pictures later on tonight/tomorrow and maybe an unboxing video if no one beats me to it. (I wont be home until around 11 EST)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mbonus:
Can you confirm whether processor is the S600 or S4-Pro as in earlier speculation? Also, do standard s4 root methods work and is the bootloader unlocked?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] whitecrane:
I share this concern, which is whay brought me to this thread. So far the concensis is that they are truly the same device with a different screen and shell.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
and camera. I am hoping for a unlocked bootloader and easy port of the existing roms. I wonder if it has those two things if more people will get it
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tWFcZydMiC0
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mrtramplefoot:
first is s4 active, second is s4. As you can see the active pics do appear a bit less vibrant. As far as the screens there really is no discernible difference.

If anyone wants an s3, s2, s2 skyrocket, or s comparison let me know and I can make that happen too sometime soon

active first, reg second

I have not rooted though
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
Thanks for this. Are you planning on rooting? Can you boot into download mode to see if it says write protection enabled? (im not sure how to tell if the bootloader is locked but I think that would show us something)Mine just was delivered, I wish I could head home lol.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] whitecrane:
You and I are in the same boat. I don't want to buy a phone with less dev support or a boot loader no one cracks. I really want the official stock Google ROM Google announced they're going to port to the Galaxy S4 later this month! I'm not a flashaholic, so with that ROM OTA updates should be safe. Its stock ROM + kernel.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mrfriday2010:
Got mine yesterday. Sent it back today. What made me do this is couple of things:

I cant root it yet ( tried more than one method ) and AT&T are being really A-holes about the bootloader.

Sam and AT&T just filled the device with stuff that eats up ram and makes it lag.

Went back to my Dev edition HTC One.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
So you confirmed that the bootloader is indeed locked? How did you confirm? Which methods did you try
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Rewind:
I really would like to see s4 vs s4active low light pictures.

I you could do that you would make me really happy :D
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] FLASHnox:
I wonder if walmart AT&T reseller will get this on the 21st, I only got mine a few days ago and they told me I have 14 days.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Timelinex:
The camera is the deal killer for me. Too bad. If it wasn't for the worse camera, I would have jumped on this immediately. So disappointing.

I use the phone camera as my standalone camera wherever I go, so camera is important to me.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] FLASHnox:
The image quality difference looks very small IMO. I usually have a nikon j1 or my dlsr on me, so I'm not worried about it. I'm going to walmart today to check if they have it or not. As my only concern with the s4 is the pocket screen cracking.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mrfriday2010:
I used motorchoper and casual, and both failed. At&t pushed a update to lock it for s4, don't you think that they will have it locked for the active.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
that's what you would think but the HTC One is easily unlockable and they haven't blocked it yet. It seems like on some devices they do and some they dont. I was hoping the active would be out of their radar because not as many people will get it
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mrfriday2010:
I dont know about the HTC One AT&T ver. Was it unlockable through HTC dev site? If so, this will be a smart move from AT&T because only then they can keep track who unlock their device and only then they can void the warranty and save some money.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
In theory yes but I have returned 2 with unlocked bootloaders and AT&T didn't care at all. The One X they locked down from this method, then the X+ they stopped caring and now the HTC One. Some devices they try to block and some they dont. No one knows why...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thatbigmoose:
From what I understand AT&T has no access to HTCDev to see if a device has been unlocked.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
I think we are getting off topic, does anyone here (dev or not) know how to tell if the active's bootloader is unlocked or not? I will have my hands on mine later on tonight and would like to find out. Chances are it is locked but it is worth a look.

[General Questions and Answers] jpc647:
My girlfriend dropped my phone in water. Is sat there for about 30 seconds before I could get to it and get it out. The phone shut off in the meantime. I dried the phone out in rice, took it apart and cleaned the contacts on it and turned it on. It seemed okay for a couple of minutes, I attached to to my computer and attempted to back everything up.

After it finished, it shut down a minute later and I have been unable to get it to turn back on. I bought a new galaxy s3, and was wondering, what would have burnt out? I can attach pictures later of the board ,etc but can I swap the parts from my new phone to the old one so that I can back up my contacts etc?

Help!?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oldblue910:
Hey everyone,

If anyone is planning on picking up the Galaxy S 4 on Cricket (it ships June 7), I'd love it if you could get some information on the stock ROM for me. Before doing any out-of-the-box OTA updates, here's the info I need:

In /system/build.prop, the values of ro.product.name, ro.product.id, and ro.build.date.utc.

In Settings | About Phone, the build number.

If you do get an OTA update notification out of the box, I'd also like the URL to the OTA ZIP file. You'll need to get this before you apply the update. There are two ways to do it, depending on if you're rooted or not. If you're rooted, you can simply check your /cache folder and the file will be in there. Please grab the file and post it somewhere.

If unrooted, you'll need to go into Settings | About Phone, tap repeatedly on the build number until you see the toast notification telling you that developer options have been enabled. Then you'll go to Settings | Developer Options, turn on USB debugging, and then select "Make Bug Report" at the top. That will email you a big text file. Search it for "android.clients.google.com" and then post the URL to the file. It'll look something like android.clients.google.com/packages/ota/cricket_samsung_r970c/file.zip.

Any help you guys can provide would be appreciated. This is stuff is for my website, randomphantasmagoria.com.

Thanks!
