Re: Heimdall protocol error

I haven't tried rooting the S4 using Heimdall yet, but I will be doing so once I get home. Although I'll be using Slackware14.1 32bit (Linux).

I have seen those errors numerous times, though.

The first issue I commonly have is that Heimdall likes to be running as root if you are flashing anything.

The second issue I run into occasionally involves corruption with libusb, or sometimes missing pieces to libusb.

Libusb is a confused mess. One day it works perfectly, then you install some other totally arbitrary library and somehow libusb gets broken.

Anyway, if the above solution doesn't help, try REMOVING every piece of libusb and reinstalling. In my experience, development version installed from source code works the best with Heimdall.

Mac users will want to check out brew or macports or fink. Preferably brew. You will need Xcode for installing brew.

Windows users will want to install a real operating system.

how do i flash the update-mf3-mj9.zip after i changed the name? Thats what the file is called on my computer and Odin wont reconize it. Help please
[General Questions and Answers] GAZ082:
Hi guys. From all the array of sticks and tv settops with such characteristics, what would you recommend? The chipset should have some developer community so i can keep it updating with the latest android version and perhaps more codecs.

I'd mainly use it for watching youtube (my LG42LS5700 lacks memory and buffers a lot when streaming 1080) and web browsing plus awesome Android apps.

Also, i have a LG magic remote, would it work with one of these or i'll have to purchase one of those awesome giroscopic based airmouse+keyboard (very handy BTW).

My budget would be 80-100 for the stick/settop. If i have to get the giro airmouse/keyboard that would be considered separately.

Thanks!

The gs4 doesn't charge at 5.0 V and 2.0mA this new battery app proves it it only charges at 4.1v and 1mA using charger that comes with gs4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BzBz:
is it possible the app is wonky or reading the phone incorrectly? mine charges up quickly and just fine. not sure how the samsung charger is fake...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hotleadsingerguy:
The app can only tell how much different the battery is, not how much juice is actually flowing into it. Meaning, the possibility exists that you phone is *using* juice while it's charging, lowering the amount of difference the app can see.

:)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
Thread fail. Voltage output, as verified with a Fluke 77 Type IV multimeter, is spot on 5 VDC. Current, which is governed by the phone, has been verified by many to a max of 1900 mA.

I can see just from the screenshots that the app is detailing misinformation. Were your phone actually charging at the rate indicated, it would take approximately 26 days for it to fully charge, assuming no use, from the 76% in the screenshots.

Oftentimes you get what you pay for. Such is the case with Amazon's Free App of the Day sometimes.

Help a newbie out.

I had an iPhone 5 that charged ridiculously fast compared to older phones.

When I'm charging my new S 4, how do I get the faster charge rate?

I'm currently using the Moto 2 USB wall outlet charger that came with my razr maxx hd. And it seems like it takes way longer then my five and I chalked it up to having twice the battery.

Is there a faster way to charge?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
Use the charger and cable that came with the phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jlangleyrn:
The new charger is amazingly fast, if thats a word. I was going to use my.old charger from the s3 at work but its so slow it barely keeps up with use and can't keep up if I'm running my wifi or playing games. Now I just need to find a car charger thats as fast as the new charger.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 0reo:
Keep in mind there's more to it then just the wall charger's output ability. There's something in the S4 that recognizes the original sammy charger and turns up the charge rate yet will only allow a trickle charge on other non-sammy 2.1A wall chargers.

It appears that dome people are aware of this and have managed to modify the non-sammy chargers to enable the faster charge. Then there's some semantic confusion between "quick charge" and "fast charge" features that may be enabled in roms or kernels.

All I know is I wish there were more info on this stuff.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jlangleyrn:
Awesome explaination !!! That makes complete sense and explains things. The point made in a prior post, about the phone recognizing the new charger, thus charging faster makes sense as well. The new charger must "turn on " the quicker charging on the S3 as well, because it charges my old S3 as fast as my S4. I didn't try the charger on the older firmware but it definetly works with the latest update.

[Motorola Atrix 2] lkrasner:
My guess is you have lint stuck in there. If you keep your phone in your pocket, especially with jeans and similar materials, lint tends to find its way into the jack. I get this all the time, and audio cuts in and out, and you sometimes have to force the plug in hard to get it to work at all. Turn the phone off and pull the battery out (really, do it) then bend a small paper clip so it is strait with just a little hook on the end, and carefully use it to pull the lint out of the jack. A bright light is helpful in the process. If I am right, you will be amazed at how much you can pull out, and if you get it clear it hopefully will work again.
[Motorola Atrix 2] MDMonster:
I found out if you have your ringtones to vibrate or mute, the sound will stay working. So in other words, keep your phone on either and you'll be good :P. It's something to do with JB. I did some searching and came across a thread somewhere on xda saying it's something with custom JB ROMs across all devices, even nexus devices. What happens may vary, but in the end JB has audio issues

[Motorola Atrix 2] MDMonster:
Yeah. I had the issue for the LONGEST time, now it is working fine 24/7, like I have all sounds working no problem. If it starts doing it again, I'll post here to let you guys know. If it doesn't **** up again, then all I can say is for anyone who get the issue, just stick to vibrate only for notifications and your other sounds (music, etc) will work fine.

I don't know if it matter's or not, but I am running the PAC-man ROM, the most recent v4 6/12/13. It might even be something with the default notification sounds being used. I am using sounds for my notifications from Zedge.

I have this PowerGen PGMPP6000 White External Battery Pack

I like it because it was a built in micro usb cable. I don't have to carry an extra cable with me. I always keeps spare USB cables in my car anyway in case I need to use my phone while its charging. The battery pack slips into my pocket easily and charges my phone twice.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] awoolf:
I agree. I originally bought a super cheap no-name charger & 2 batteries on eBay for $10. They work, but the batteries don't last quite as long as my originals did.

I then bought an "Anker" charger + 2 batteries on Amazon for ~$20, and have never looked back. Batteries work -much- better than the no name ones. The charger is a bit odd tho. It's universal, so you can use it with almost ANY small Lithium Ion battery. Pins slide back and forth to connect to any type, they sense the proper polarity, and it's spring-loaded to fit any size pack.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Fencefry:
The Anker charger with the extended batteries are fantastic. My charging port broke, but my life has only become more convenient with one in the phone, one in my bag, and one charging at home. Days of battery!

Sorry if this is a re-post, but I'm trying to get this at all angles. This is a T-Mobile S4.

Here's exactly what I've done so far, and I've re-downloaded everything so I have fresh files and filenames/extensions just to clear any mucking up I did:

I downloaded this file from this thread as I understand this is the stock firmware necessary to use here.

I unzipped the file, and used 7-zip to extract the tar.md5 which also extracted a .dll.

The tar.md5 file is named: M919UVUAMDL_M919TMBAMDL_M919UVUAMDL_HOME_.tar.md5

I have installed Heimdall version 1.3.1 as the download site claims that version 1.3.2 broke compatability with many devices.

I downloaded the two .jar files which make up the Heimdall one-click.

If all of this is correct so far, I'm understanding that I need to now feed a tar.gz file to heimdall one-click, however, I don't have any files that end in .gz. Just the tar.md5, which the one-click does not accept.

The button on the one-click literally says, "Select a Heimdall tar.gz for one-click" - So I'm lost there. I've even tried renaming the tar.md5 to tar.gz.

I'm reading that the front-end GUI is what would be used to create a tar.gz, but it seems to require downloading the PIT file from your phone, and this is failing now, possible due to me having installed Kies and now having different kernel extensions that apparently need to be unloaded (no idea how to do that lol).

This is so complicated! Makes me want to go buy a cheap netbook lol

Hi,

I've a few 4G's running Cyanogenmod 10.1-RC4.

Generally great, but ...

Bluetooth is unstable, and refuses to pair with many devices. That's old news -- LOTS of others on 4.2.x-based ROMs are reporting similar problems.

NONE of the fixes/workaround I've managed to find/try have helped. And, AFAICT, Google's "not talking".

My alternatives atm seem to be:

(1) stay on current 4.2 ROM and live without Bluetooth

(2) wait for 4.3, 5.0, or 'whenever' it gets magically fixed

(3) drop back to another version (<= 4.1 ? other) where bluetooth is known to work and be stable.

(1) isn't an option. (2) is plain foolish. (3) seems like a (possible) plan.
