[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guidoido004:
The phone has a quad core processor, 2gb of ram, and you're complaining about bloat!? What it can do against you!? It's just an app in the drawer...! Just disable it in apps management. It will be there. But not in the app drawer anymore, and it don't need root. If you tell me is about memory, I'll kick your a** if I ever meet you one day.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krabman:
If you do not wish to root go ahead and disable any apps you don't want to use and you are pretty much good to go. The only reason you even need to do that is some apps are called automatically when you start others even though its an app you may not use. Some will also light up and phone home looking for updates. Disabling them will prevent that.

If you do root and delete something that you later want most of them are either available on the market, Google or Samsungs.

Welcome to the dark side.

The first thing I do when I buy a Sammy phone is to root and debloat those ****s they put inside. As if I can't go to google play to install
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardsar:
Just goto settings ....application manager and disable the application. This will prevent it from running and will remove the icon from your app draw. This will also prevent the app updating from the market which does take up user memory

Hello, I am a novice to this rooting world but I have caught on well for my first 3 days of rooting. The mod is very stable, the only issue I have is when I get and "INCOMING CALL" from anyone, there is NO RINGTONE. The phone just vibrates. I have checked and double checked all my settings. I have wiped and reflashed several different versions of the stable Cyanogenmod Rom.

My current ROM manager is ClockworkMod 6.0.3.1

I have a Cyanogenmod 10.1.0-RC5-d2tmo with Android 4.2.2

Kernel version

3.4.45-cyanogenmod-ga5cab24

build03@cyanogenmod #1

Obviously I have a Galaxy sIII aka SGH-T999

Any clue as to what to do? :confused:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
What ringtone do you have set? Check ringer volume.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] raybeast:
I have any random ringtone set from the android system. The ringer is set to the max. I believe it has something to do with either the way I am modding or maybe some type of kernel issue (above my head).

I was wondering what methods everyone is using for file transfer.

I was trying to transfer my mp3"s through mtp but it is so slow and stops every 10 minutes saying the device is not responding.

Any suggestions would be highly appreciated
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Yea, that's mtp. It's not just the tf700, my sgs3 and gt2 have the same slow speed and disconnection issues.

Not fun when you're trying to copy a 25gb mkv. Takes about 8 hours.

I simply keep all my videos and music on a microsd and plug it straight into my laptop through an sd adapter. (and a second one in an adapter in the dock so I can swap if need be.)

[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
But it's still much faster than WLAN and "adb push".

Doesn't MTP have a 4 GB per file limit? And 8 hours? I'd estimate 3 to 5 minutes per GB, that would be 2 hours max for 25 GB.
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
True. Those are even worse.

Ah! That would explain why it keeps disconnecting when I try to copy large files. :eek:

But no, 5 minutes is what it needs for +-300MB. (It's an i5 2.8Ghz, so that's not the issue.)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
I doubt the processor has anything to do with how fast it is transferring lol. But that is a LONG time to move a file. And a 25GB mkv? what are you watching lol, convert that baby smaller.

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Well, it takes 16 hours on my crappy i3 backup laptop (which actually runs on an ssd, so much for that) so yea it makes a difference.

It's LOTR 1 Extended BluRay. :p The film is 4 hours at 1080. Converting it to 720 is simply not done, and would defeat the point of HD :p

Send From My Samsung Galaxy S3 Using Tapatalk 2
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
You would not need to make it 720, just convert, say a more compressed format, say MP4. Would make maybe 5 or so GB. File storage morely depends on the quality of which it is going through. You might have huge computer, huge router, but our tablets can only receive it, process it, and write it down so quickly. So I doubt it is the CPU that is the bottleneck. Though I have an i7 at 4.6 GHz but I still only see a 700 kbps wifi transfer rate from it to my tablet.

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Then it shouldn't make a difference in speed between my pc and my laptop to the same tablet. Which is quite clearly does. :(

Hm yes, probably, but I'm not really interested in spending another 9 hours re-converting a video :p It'd probably be a lot quicker to just download a different version, in fact. But nah, 2x64GB MicroSD, problem solved :p
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
Hahaha you got plenty of storage compared to me hehe. You said you had an i5 though? Should take maybe 2 hours. I can convert videos usually every hour on my i7, be it just a quad, but I do have a GTX 560 which helps tremendously as well. I wanna new 700 series but they not out just yet hehe.

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Between the MicroSD's and the internal storage, about 190GB :p And I always carry my 2TB WD Elements Portable with me, so.. :p Pleeeeeeenty of space! :D

The bottleneck is the Nvidia GT 130M :p Yea, it's a laptop. (A bloody good one, though. And I updated the CPU from a core2duo to an i5 a few years back) Yes I need to upgrade my GPU, but I lack both the money and the will to do it. Don't want to give up XP :p (Old games just don't work well with 7/8.)
[Asus Transformer TF700] Tylorw1:
On the portable hard drive, would it be possible that you could stream it, or does the connection not continually stay connected? Also, It must be an expensive laptop because I thought most laptops were unable to be updated besides RAM? Like our tablet they are usually a 1 deal kit? Also, you can find XP if you know where to look for it :p, and could possibly even have XP and 7 loaded together :). Though I doubt you will get an extremely power GPU, and the memory on a GPU is only required by games usually, and if you say old games, 130M is a decent amount. Newer games are the one that usually require 1GB or two. I personally will stick to my desktop, laptops are just to much a pain to me, and I use my TF700 as one anyways. But you travel? Or am I speaking about someone different? lol

Tylor
[Asus Transformer TF700] ShadowLea:
Yes, it's a fairly expensive laptop :p Asus N70SV (i5 2.8Ghz, GT 130M 1GB, 2x320GB SATA, 4GB DDR2 RAM (3, it's XP), Full HD+ LED), €1300 at date of purchase (I'm not that rich, government gave me half back when I filed it as "education-related purchase".) I needed something for all my uses, which included Gaming, Rendering and Design. Made no sense to buy something mid-range if I would have to replace the whole thing in a year. As an added bonus, all the hardware is easily accessable and can be replaced with ease. :)

Oh I know exactly where to look ;) I didn't just get myself 60Mbps internet for Googling... :angel: (And my desktop PC runs 8 and XP in dualboot.)

Yes, I travel. By train 6 hours a day. Back when I bought my laptop there weren't any decent tablets on the market, and Android sadly still doesn't run Mass Effect, Skyrim or any other Windows game on it's own. :(

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tabidee:
So, I have gone through the whole process of rooting my phone, unlocking it. I have TWRP on it, Titanium backup (thankfully), Goo Manager. It is S-on. I have 2.09 Hboot. My TWRP-jewel is 2.5.0.0. Ok, now onto my question, I am trying to get CM-10 to load but it doesn't go any further than the load screen. No matter what I try. I have even tried switching to JellyBAM but all to no avail. Can someone offer me tips as to what I may have done or be doing wrong? Thanks in advance

[Q] trying to put CM10 on my rooted phone

Forgive me if I put this in the wrong group, but I feel this is probably the right one for it. I have Hboot 2.09. I have TWRP. I have S-on. I want to put CM10 with Gapps onto my phone but every way I have tried, CM10 just sits there and loops around, the longest being an hour. I figured some time was possible, but come on. Over on Google+, people are telling me to flash this and flash that, fastboot this or that. I have no idea what they are trying to say to me. I am loving learning all of this but I need a little more explanation than just flash something. I realize that flash has something to do with commands. I am running windows 8 if that helps on my laptop. My TWRP version is 2.5.0.0. I don't know if my phone has gone through the latest update or not. Thanks for any help you can give me!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
You have to install the kernel separately from the ROM since you're S-on. Click the link in my sig for more info.

You most likely have the newest touch panel driver, so you can only use ROM's based off the latest OTA, software version 3.16. Your touchscreen won't work otherwise. You can gain S-off and downgrade your touch panel driver, at which point you can run AOSP ROM's like CM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] jocarog:
First of all you might be on the newest touch panel driver, and that's the first thing that gets you in trouble because aosp roms don't work with that, as of now, it might work later... Who knows... Secondly you need to flash the boot.img separately thru fastboot because your are s-on and on 2.09... To make your life easier try to get s-off either thru facepalm or dirty racun... That way you can flash any rom and also downgrade your touch panel driver to get aosp working on your phone... If you flash viper rom it has a senseless option so you can use nova and get stability and some sort of aosp look... Good luck!

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GuestK0087:
Yes, S-off is the way to go if you want to run CM. Otherwise, try meanbean or viper or sharkie or any other sense based Rom. They should work fine.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tabidee:
I have tried to do facepalm. When I put the code in (I'm assuming it goes in the command window), I get messages like "adb not valid command". Even though my phone is most definitely rooted, says unlocked. Should I redownload android-sdk? Thanks again!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] GuestK0087:
ADB commands must be issued when the phone is mounted as media share not as fastboot. Connect your phone as if you were transferring files between it and your pc.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Something new to try since you're on the latest OTA.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tabidee:
I do have it connected to the computer like that. Do you mean I have to go into TWRP and mount it that way? I tried it that way too. I downloaded and whole new android SDK to see if that is the problem. If not, I am going to factory reset my phone and start over. I can't imagine why I was able to root the phone, get it unlocked, but now I can't do anything else with it. Not even get adb commands to recognize it.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
If I were you I would try the new S-off method I posted above. It's Windows friendly:cool:

This is for tabidee hey I was reading ur stuff on xda developers and I have a question. If u can help if not its cool. Ok so i got my sprint evo and I went to try to root it. I went thru a process that with the steps combined with htcdev site got me to say unlock my bootloader. I used hoot 2.09 and I was supposed to flash this pimg175 zip to i guess install a recovery. Well that won't work at all... I cant get my s on switched to s off and so i am stuck with according to the hoot screen a tampered, unlocked with s on, unrooted phone. I am so confused with all the steps and files I had to download, rename and save to various folders that I gave up. With my phone at its current state what do I do next? I deleted all the files from the day I unlocked it but if you can explain to me... And explain like if I was a five year old cuz I'm that dumbfounded on this subject... But if u can maybe walk me thru the rest of the process or walk me thru a undoing of what I done so far. I'm lisa. My email is Stilldoindadamthang@gmail.com
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Check out the link below. It's a GUI for rooting and has everything you need to get your phone rooted. You'll need to install the recovery first then superuser, which will give you root.

Hello all.

As you can see by my name, Im'a Noob! i have a good understanding of computers and cell phones and can follow directions well but have not attempted anything like this so....

Here's the deal, Today i went to Wal-mart to get a new phone for my wife. I decided on the T mobile Samsung galaxy S 4 (on the Wal-mart family plan $40 a month unlimited) . unfortunately, it apparently does not get signal at my house. What i desire to do is move it to straight talk. because Verizon does have signal at my house. So from this point, is there any way to get this Galaxy S4 to see the Verizon towers and work on the Straight talk network using those Verizon towers? And If So, Can someone please post the step by step instructions (without assuming that i know what a jailbreak or unlocking is) so that i can make my wife happy.

Please and Thank you in advance for all your responses and help!!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] LordLugard:
Can't be done. T-Mobile is GSM, Verizon is CDMA, incompatible networks.

Straight Talk resells service for the major carriers but for Sprint and Verizon, who are CDMA carriers/networks, you have to get phones compatible with CDMA to use on Straight Talk and vice versa for T-Mobile and AT&T.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Im'a noob:
ok how about this

What if i unlock the phone, then get an At&t phone activated on the straight talk network and put its sim card in the Galaxy s4? would that make the s4 work on the straight talk network?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
Neither the T-Mobile nor AT&T variant will work on Verizon. Period. There isn't an unlock you can do, no ROM you can flash, no special code you can put in to change that fact.

For ST or Net10 to use the Verizon towers you need a CDMA phone, which the M1919 S4 is not. As was mentioned in the post above mine, you DO have the option to run off of T-Mobile or AT&T networks either through the respective carriers or use those towers via Net10 or Straight Talk; but using the Verizon towers in any way is impossible with the particular device you purchased.

Where'd you buy it? I bought mine from TMO and was told I can return it within 30 days for a full refund. As others have posted, you can't do what you want with that phone, period.

Edit: Reread your original post. If you have to have Verizon then the phone you bought won't work. Just like a AM radio won't pick up FM stations. It's that simple. Take it back to Walmart and get a refund. BUT, if you can live with using T-mobile away from home and have wifi at home you can get a T-Mobile plan and use wifi calling and internet access at home, and the TMO network elsewhere. You want to use wifi at home anyway because it doesn't count towards data or calling usage. It's all seamless, so there's no problem using it that way.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dr. Fed:
