Did you notice that paint that used on the faceplate and probably at the back is very soft? It's very sensitive, in fact u can leave a mark even with your fingernail! I am very, very carefull with it, but still can notice some marks already. Not the end of the worls, but it's only 5 days! Wonder, how is going to look like in 3-4 months of usage. :shock:

Looks like that frontplate is metal, so why even bother to paint it?

Otherwise, device is very well buit, solid, without any loose parts etc.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] RamX2:
In ur profile says that you have an XDA II anyway ,frontplate is from plastic not from metal at all it's just painted with metal :S, if your talking about the Blue angel device I know nothing about it materials but it will remain plastic as they first created the 1rst loyal xda..
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dvl:
covers

The jam/compact has a metal front cover, metal battery cover and a plastic cover around the camera lens..

Why? do they do that on purpose? lol Save weight?

i think the compact is lets scratch prone then the jam (seems differen paintjob).

I was thinking of having it professionally painted black, but i think the plastic part will cause it to be not perfect.

hmmm

:twisted:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] killercheung:
Is the possible metal will block the signal if use it as the pastic cover on the back?

I don't believe HTC use plastic because of keep lower cost or keep lower weight. It's just a small piece of material!
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dvl:
right

could be because the antenna sits there hmmm

would be cool to know for sure

;o)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kta:
From all the posts I've seen regarding this issue, it does seem that the MDA Compact has a better paint job. I can't find any scratch on mine, even though I use the case that came with it and some ppl were complaining that it scratches the phone.

(I even used a sugar cube to remove the T-Mobile logo and did not scratch the compact!)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] 27:
Are you guys sure that the MDA compact is painted differently to the Imate jam?

This is probabky the final issue in my decision on which one to buy. I'm ready to place my order any minute now.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] kta:
I cannot confirm that. It's just an impression. But I can confirm that rubbing the T-Mobile logo with a sugar cube did not leave a single tiny scratch. I can also confirm that I do not hae any trace of a scratch on the MDA Compact even though it's coming in and out of my standard case all the time!

There are some ppl around who had both the Compact and the JAM. Any comments from these guys?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] dvl:
compact

my compact is also scratch free and i don't use a cover and i am not that careful with my phones ;o)

it is just a gues but when i compare pictures it seems to me that they are different of color etc and they scratch/chip stories are about the Jam..

if a simlock doesn't matter go for the t-mobile one.. is cheaper too.

:twisted:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] 27:
Re: compact

The T-Mobile Germany ones aren't sim-locked.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Grunt:
I wish I could say I had no scratches....

I had a SDE (small drop event) not long after I got mine....I am just happy everything still works perfectly.......

To be honest, I think the standard case is sh.t as there is no corner protection if a SDE occurs.

I look forward to getting a quality case from pielfarma of vaja or whatever but now I have a nasty scratch. I would appreciate any advice on removing it..????

The idea of pro paint job in a darker metallic grey appeals a lot...anyone know where you can get this done ????

iMate Paint Job?

Hi

I've had the JAM since the 8th of December and have had no issues with the paint job. The case is a very basic job which doesnt compare well at all with those supplied with the XDA and the XDA 2 (iMate seem to have cut corners a lot with this particular unit, skipping the docking station and giving us this el-cheapo case, as well as using cheap plastics for the side panels), but I havent had any scratches from using the case. My phone is out of the case whenever I'm static, so thats quite a bit of exposure.

The problem I've had with the device's finish is that the panels dont seem to fit together very well - mine's quite creaky. Definitely doenst feel like a $700 phone...

Cheers

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Burn1n9m4n:
Hey Guys,

I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 from Verizon and have followed the guide on how to root it posted on the forums. For a while things were good. My phone booted up with the correct loading screen and my device detected that I was on an official kernel. Now for reasons I'm not sure of, my phone is saying that the kernel is custom and the lock icon has returned when I restart or cold boot my phone. I'm not running custom firm ware, I'm running a stock Verizion kernel. I tried to delete SuperUser, but it isn't installed. My binaries for SuperSU are up-to-date. I'm still rooted, but I would like to get rid of the unlock icon when I boot up and I would like to get the system to recognize that this is an official kernel.

Also ES File Explorer is unable to mount r/w privilages on my phone in order to delete busybox and su so that I could try to re-root the phone again. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sneekerpimpz:
Theres no way so far to get rid of it. Mine actually goes back and for between custom and official all the time. Maybe when the bootloader gets unlocked it will do away with it, but until then it does no harm. So if you want to root, that's the price we pay.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
Most of the time mine is gone. Maybe once a week I might see it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Burn1n9m4n:
So I managed to get rid of it. I'm not sure if it's permanent, but here's what I did. I couldn't delete the stuff in the root directory (and this was before I found solid explorer which has better root access programming than es does). So I did a factory reset and found that that worked for a while, but then I noticed that downloading Triangle Away seemed to be causing the problem because the lock icon returned after I installed it and gave it root access. So I deleted it and chose the 'unroot' option from the list of options in supersu. Then I re-rooted the phone using the guide. Now the lock icon hasn't returned, and the device status under the about phone menu says that my firmware is the official one. Another thing I noticed is that I'm running an older version of busybox (version 1.17.1 I think, as installed by motochopper).

Again I'm not sure what I did differently, or changed as a result of my method, but it seems to have worked. Perhaps someone with more development knowledge can let me know what's happened for my own personal information.

I am traveling to Canada, will use Rogers or other GSM network.

Can I simply switch sim card to use my phone on those network?

I only need to make phone call, and occasionally texting. I do NOT need data. I have seen people here discussion changing APN, are those discussion purely about how to use data?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Lehocki:
I live in Canada, have a Verizon S3. I use it without switching sim cards without any problems. I do however have Canada calling on my plan. You can ad Canada to your plan for 15$ you'll get 1000 min I don't know about txt I'm on an old plan so it's somewhat different than what you might get. Try calling costumer service first b4 you go switching sims.

Switching the Sim card should do the trick as its already unlocked

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] johnwilliame:
I just went to Ireland and was able to switch the sim and use it as a gsm phone. Only issue is, unless you have it rooted, you can't change the APN, so you'll get calls and texts fine, but you won't get data at all. If you Root your phone though, then you can dl some simple APN changing app that will allow you to put in whatever custom settings for whatever carrier your new sim is with. Hope that helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ubcxzhang:
Thanks! This is exactly what I want.

I have rooted my phone, but I will not change APN, since I only use call and text.

Sorry about the stupid question that is incoming.

I used to root devices all the time, however I changed to ios for imessage for about a year. After being sick of it, I came back to android... Anyway, I see that there are now JB roms which is incredible, (thank you devs) please take the time to answer these questions

1- Are the JB roms stable? Could they be used as a daily driver

2- Do they have decent battery life?

3- I'm currently on rooted GB... is there a certain route I have to take to upgrade to Slim JB, or can I just factory reset, then flash the rom... thank you

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Stuck on hold:
I'd add to #1, that's if the features you want are working in the particular ROM you are looking to use. Check its OP (original post). They are usually updated with the latest fixes.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] ariesgodofwar:
The big caveat with the JB Roms is the current lack of working GPS and Wi-Fi connectivity I am daily driving Beanstalk 4.2.2 and it works great and is very stable, just lacks Wifi and GPS. I have been very happy with it. My wife is on AOKP ICS and it is rock stable, and GPS and Wifi work. I can tell you that her AOKP has better battery life than my Beanstalk (used to use AOKP as my daily as well), but Beanstalk does not have poor battery life, I still think mine is way better than what I had on GB.

If you go with an ICS or AOKP ROM, highly recommend you install Greenify, as it is a huge help in reducing battery consumption: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2155737

Thank you so much for the great replies! Just a couple of more quick q's

Is JB smoother than ICS... I believe that is one of the main features of JB that it is buttery smooth, but is that the case for this phone?

Could I get a days use out of the sgs4g with moderate-heavy use?

Thanks once again

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Stuck on hold:
Make sure to hit the Thanks 'button' if an answer was helpful.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] itzik2sh:
JB is smoother, faster and looks better than ICS ROMs in means of framework UI i.e notification drawer etc.

BUT...

lack of intuitive WiFi usage and not working GPS could not make it daily driver IMO.

I agree ICS AOKP is rock solid.

I can also suggest ICS HEBMIUI.

As soon as GPS and FFC work I will definitely shift to 4.2.2.

i am still no0b...

i have no issue rooting,flashing, installing roms on samsung galaxy phone.. [other ppl phone, i aint got much to loose :)] . instructions are everywhere online.

but for my personal phone this phone if it wasn't for xda ( thanks guys) i'd be totally dumb.. ...

i need to know a bit more about kernels. and roms for this phone

right now i am using this rom [STOCK ROM] AT&T ICS, de-odexed, zip-aligned, rooted, bloated (For chefs or whoever) http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1583028

and the stock rom that came with the Hasoon2000 all-in-one toolkit or can i use 'FLASH IMAGE GUI' ?

no really problems with this rom i guess the rare random mysterious reboot.. but i wonder what it would do with a different kernel

btw its: rooted, bootloader unlocked but still S-on,

I would like to know :

1) which other kernel can be flawlessly used with this rom ... which do u recommend AND WHY ?

2) what do i need to do first before i switch kernels

3) will i loose any data,settings,info, contacts, flashed apps eg ultra hq camera or so when i flash kernel... ?

4) i assume i can use Hansoon all-in-one tool to flash the kernel right?

thanks in advance guys
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bl@ze:
well i got ballzy

and flash Komikz kernel RC 1 with Sweep2Wake using Flash Image Gui

all seems well.. flash it twice just incase

(the phone isnt smoking )

havent tried wifi as yet though

i just randomly chose that kernel still dont know what real different it make with the stock and any other custom kernel..

some info, recommendation pllz.

also how do i manage the kernel ?

thanks in advance
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bl@ze:
Oh well just tried WiFi.... Says connected, nothing coming through though. :confused:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
You have to find a kernel that runs on what you want... If you are running cm10 or PAC or something thats "pure" android then you need an AOSP kernel such as sultans( his is both AOSP and Sense)

Pretty much sultans kernel is the only other kernel i would touch here on xda as its being updated regularly
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
Sultans on sense is super touchy and unstable
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Never had trouble with it on sense. Worked better than regular kernel actually...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
There is post after post about how there at problems in his thread... unless it was fixed
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Jaxellis:
Actually my vivid has always been... *special* (if you know what i mean,...shhh) It does what it wants when it wants and however it wants... sometimes kernels wont flash sometimes they will ... hell sometimes my battery lasts 24hrs with huge usage and 4 hours with no usage...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bl@ze:
Thanks for the replies...

As stated above I using as stock zip aligned, dedoxed ROM.

I am considering a custom ICS rom now though.. Right now leaning towards Holics or Virturous...

But will consider and stable, least bug possible, good looking room.

(Just tired of the same lame GB look of vivid stock ICS, damm green battery etc.

Kindda sad to know how many Samsung phones I've updated to jb for friends and can't get a proper jb for my phone)

Anyway....I flashed the kernel a 3rd time & WiFi is working now :)

But I still want more info and recommendation on kernels ( & ROMs).
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bl@ze:
now that i'm running KozmiKKernel RC 1 kernel how do i manage/set it
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bl@ze:
Yup, I need to drop the processor speed to 1.5ghz. This 1.7ghz is rap!ng the battery.

edit:

i'm trying romtoolbox ( always been afraid of this app)

lowering the cpu to 1.5ghz see if that helps

or should i :

a) recalibrate the battery

b) switch to holics kernel
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
I like kernel tuner from the market... its free and likes HTC phones...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bl@ze:

i'm happy enough with 1.2 ghz... better battery life

might try out faux kernel though
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rignfool:
If you are s-off... I recommend kozmikkernel with badass gov and sio scheduler on ICS...

Holics kernel threw tons of errors on my device...
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bl@ze:
fauxxxed up

oh my ! i messed up baddly......

so as i said i flashed to holic kernel......

no wifi, flashed 4 times , wifi just wouldn't turn on

so i was going to go back to stock.. but no i tried faux kernel..and did it ever fauxxxx up my phone ... bootloops for ever.

and since this phone is my only source of internet.. i could not get to xda to figure out the issue.

so i tried:

1) flashing back the stock kernel using Hasoon all-in -one tool.. = bootloop

2) flashing back komickz kernel " " " " = bootloop

3) " " stock " " " " " = bootloop

4) did a NAND restore using wcx recovery = stuck on HTc bootscreen

5) curling up in the fetal position and crying = " " " "

6) tried flashing back this ROM = " " " "

7) tried running the at&t stock ics ruu = failed

then i remembered the i had to relock the bootloader, i relocked it , ran the ruu= SUCCESS (all be it i lost stuff off my phone and with stock rom again.)

but I have my phone back.

question: shouldn't the NAND restore fix the problem ?

i going to flash thing rom back , but will wait until monday.

thinks guys because if it wasnt for this forum ( & my suprizingly decent memory) I would have a paperweight right ..
