I think I've managed to de-clutter a lot of the bloatware on my S4. I was looking at the running apps and was wondering if anyone new was 'Filter Installer' relates to?

It seems to be a Samsung app/service of some sort that runs in the background automatically, just wondering if its safe to remove (if I can find it).

One thing I realized it that MusicPlayerWT.apk works hand in hand with SamSungMusic.apk

If you had removed SamSungMusic.apk, MusicPlayerWT.apk will not work even if u restore it... reflashing ROM seems to be the only way to get it back to work...

don't see much difference... mine should come any minute now. :)
[One (M7) Accessories] jtgarza3:
Here are a few quick shots i took. Also the back of case extends out far enough not to touch the phone
[One (M7) Accessories] cassull:
Nice, that silver looks great!
[One (M7) Accessories] twe90kid:
Looks great. Only problem I have is the price.

Being taiwanese, this thing sells in taiwan for approx $32usd. Now the person who imported these (US distributor) is selling on amazon for $50.

DAMN
[One (M7) Accessories] pepporony:
The shipping cost on Amazon is bloody expensive!

OP. Could you please "guesstimate" of the total weight for the whole package? I'm thinking of using some shipping service..
[One (M7) Accessories] clninja:
The entire packaging was super light. I'm not good at guessing weight like that. I'll check the packing slip tomorrow and see if it has a weight on it.

So far I love the case and havnt noticed any signal loss. It feels great in the hand.. very premium. Volume button is much better than flat volume buttons on stock phone. Power button is easy to press. Cutouts and fit is phenomenal. Very easy to install. people with headphone plugs that are on the larger side are going to have a hard time with the headphone jack cutout though. My car adapter plug barely fits in.

Overall I'm happy with the purchase and I absolutely love the silver case on the silver phone.

I'm using the www.bestskinsever.com full body skin on my phone to protect the back and screen . highly recommended .. price is perfect .. install was easy and it looks great. can't even tell I have a screen protector or back skin on the phone.

[One (M7) Accessories] Rirere:
My guess is he views it as scalping as opposed to work (order it, ship it to the US, then resell for a higher cost than the shipping).

Any drop in GPS or WiFi that you can tell? I had one like this for my gnex that made the GPS useless.
[One (M7) Accessories] pewpewbangbang:
It picks up 2 less satellites and 4dbm drop. His signal in general though is very strong in that area. It's when your in weak signal locations, the case will affect it and become more noticeable.

It's a nice case though and 4dbm isn't too bad especially for an all metal bumper. I remember original ones for the iPhone being far worse and only recently have the new ones with plastic inserts don't affect the signal at all.
[One (M7) Accessories] clninja:
I locked on in a second and it narrowed down my GPS location to within 3 meters within seconds.
[One (M7) Accessories] ShinjoSan:
Went to look for this case on amazon after seeing your pictures and it's not available at this time =( Guess i'm going to keep an eye out for it. Thanks for the great pics and helping at least myself settle on a bumper finally.
[One (M7) Accessories] altimax98:
I'm shocked It even messes with the signal being the antenna are out the back..

On a side note the front looks fantastic but the back is was too big.
[One (M7) Accessories] arthurbrownleeiv:
Tolerable then, I'll give it a test drive.

I'm wondering if having a poly/plastic skin on the phone would help mitigate the drop in signal a bit, worth a shot when I get mine.

Thanks :)
[One (M7) Accessories] miamibest:
Hey I know the OP is on T-Mobile but I'm on AT&T and the case is definitely effecting my signal. I get 2-3 bars of 4G LTE in my house but the second I put on my case, i lose LTE completely. I do get 3-4 bars dropping back to HSPA but for me the case is going back. :(

Sad because the case I think is the best looking one so far and I have 4 cases for the One.

[One (M7) Accessories] pewpewbangbang:
I don't understand mandarin/taiwanese, but I'm assuming hes trying to prove signal degradation isn't too bad?

1. The uploader works for devilcase, so I don't think he will talk bad about their own cases.

2. He performed the test with only half the aluminum bumper on? You need the whole bumper to be put together to affect the signal. It will create a mini field when connected that disrupts signal. You need a different material to completely disconnect the metal from touching each other to have the signal become unaffected. ElementCase has this solved and I used their Sector 5 bumper for the iPhone 5 with no issues.

http://www.elementcase.com/Sector-5-iPhone-5-Case-p/api5-1020-xxxx.htm

Until someone designs something similar for the HTC One, they will all create signal degradation. This is enhanced even more if the signal is not the strongest already.

Edit: Looking back at the video, I'm gonna infer that he's actually saying the case doesn't affect signal that bad....only 10dbm according to his test, but still you need both metal pieces to be together and touching to create the effect on signal.
[One (M7) Accessories] arthurbrownleeiv:
So I got mine in today, and so far the only thing I can tell is a slight drop in signal on WiFi when I'm a long way away from the AP.

Otherwise, no noticeable drop in cell strength with LTE or HSPDA, and the GPS locks quickly and accurately indoors.

I'm quite pleased.
[One (M7) Accessories] fred1050:
Like I said in another topic about this bumper : http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2316315

I just have installed my DevilCase bumper.

No signal issue noticed since yesterday for Wi-Fi,3G, gps

But I have an annoying issue with the vol- button. I can't use it, only vol+ is working. Anyone have the same issue? Any tip to solve this maybe? Thx
[One (M7) Accessories] PcFish:
It's Vol Up for me. I just put a tiny piece of tape in the volume button recess so it has better contact with the phone.

sorry wrong forum
[Asus Transformer TF700] OutlawV:
Since the OTA update before last my WiFi has been weird, whenever I turn it on and connect to a network, after a random period anywhere between 1 sec and over an hour it will disconnect and completely refuse to reconnect, saying failed to connect. The only way to reconnect is to cycle the WiFi power completely. I was hoping that the last update would correct the problem, but no luck. My system is currently fully stock, no unlocking or subversion so far.

Any ideas or fixes?

Attached is the relevant system information.

UPDATE : I'd like to refine the problem a little; when the problem manifests, the tablet completely fails to recognize that there are any networks in range at all. Once again, it's solved by only a quick cycle though.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Try turning wifi optimization off: Settings > WiFi, tap 3 dots upper right, select 'Advanced'
[Asus Transformer TF700] OutlawV:
Well, I gave it a try, but there was no change, so WiFi optimization is not the answer. :-\
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
I've had this same problem a few times too. Cold-booting three times in a row then running an FMR memory clean usually works to fix it for me. But I'm on 4.1.1

Also make sure your wifi isn't getting turned off thru Asus power saver settings or another battery saver app. Flaky wifi routers or congested local wifi traffic with overlapping bands (channels) are notorious for randomly disconnecting wifi, but if its only after the last update then that probably has nothing to do with it unless your neighbor just installed a wireless router on or near your channel. Wifi Analyzer is a great app for weeding that sort of thing out.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Are you sure it's not a router problem? Does it happen connecting to any network?
[Asus Transformer TF700] OutlawV:
I have the same problem with both my home router (Typically less than 10 feet away) and with my mobile hot spot. It started having this problem on each different network in the same time period, so I've ruled out the router. I've also now noticed that it does get worse with time until I can't even connect until I reboot.
[Asus Transformer TF700] OutlawV:
I've done a quick scan of my nearby networks just in case, and since I am typically within the ten feet of my fairly powerful router, it's got a good 40+ dB on anything nearby. I also have the problem on my cellular hotspot in different places, so I'm ruling out the router.

I'm running only the stock power saver setting, I'll try shutting that off next time it starts again, to see if there's any effect, but the WiFi doesn't shut off, it just stops functioning correctly.

I've also come to find that the problem gets worse with uptime, 20 minutes ago I was getting 20 sec connections, until a reboot, now I expect to have hour+ functional periods.

I know what a cold boot is, but not completely familiar on this kind of device.

Do I need to shut down and leave it off for a few minutes to perform a cold boot?

Also, what is an FMR memory clean, and can I do that without root?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Cold boot: shut it off. Hold Volume Down and Power until the tab vibrates twice. If you're on 4.2 you should see 3 icons with RCK flashing. Use Volume Down to highlight "Android", press Volume Up to confirm.

Tiny script upper left will read: Cold booting Linux

As far as I know you can only clear cache for individual apps, not system caches on stock without root...

This is starting to sound like a hardware problem to me.

If you're still under warranty I would contact Asus and see what they have to say.

A factory reset would be my last resort before sending it in.

Good luck
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
What is it called when you boot into bootloader, then just let the RCK blink for 10s, hit no buttons, then it automatically boots saying "cold booting linux"? How is this different than the Android, or is it the same? I'm on 4.1.1
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I don't think that works on 4.2 anymore since it defaults to fastboot mode (for which you had to select "USB" on 4.1) when booting into the bootloader.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Understood. But is there another way to do it on 4.1, or is that the only way?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
I think on 4.1 you had two options to cold boot: Boot into the bootloader and do nothing as you mentioned earlier, or select the Android and confirm with Vol Up. Both accomplished the same thing: cold booting Linux.

On 4.2 you have to select the Android.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Thanks for the info. That's what I thought, but just confirming. Thinking isn't good enough, you gotta know. Wouldn't want to go around telling people how to cold boot or that cold boot fixes something when that's not what I'm actually doing, but it seemed pretty obvious I was cold booting - the micro script tells you so and also that if you wait 10s it will just happen automatically, and I like automatic. What's that font size anyway, 1/4 point? You just about need a magnifying glass to read it.

Actually, I've never done it any other way. From day 1 it seemed self-evident, and the easiest way to me, yet all I've read about cold booting on this forum says to do it with the Android. I guess that is the "official" way. But since I'm officially lazy, I do it the easiest way! This is a rare example of being able to do the same thing two different ways on Android. Often there is only one way to do it, to the letter. Talk about lazy, I use rebooter app too. 1-click cold boot. Savin' the buttons for when I really need 'em.

[Edit] Hey, OP we didn't forget about you. FMR Memory Cleaner can be run without root. Its not your average task killer. Digs out some memory somehow. It must clean cache and delete logs. I use it once a week religiously.
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
Yeah! You wouldn't want to wear out those volume buttons! LOL

I guess, that's why they defaulted the bootloader menu to fastboot on 4.2. Booting into system was redundant...
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Believe it or not, my power button already stuck once in the down position. Talk about a boot loop. All that buzzing scared the daylights out of my dogs and they were just about ready to attack my tablet laying on my bed. I thought there was a raccoon or something in the house - they were going ballistic. I had just turned it off and set it down, and went out to the garage to work on a project and the next thing I know all he*& broke loose. I fixed it with a drop of electric razor oil on a Q-tip and my device is less than 6 mos old. I'm not joking about saving those buttons!
[Asus Transformer TF700] _that:
The common understanding of "cold booting" is "turning on the power and letting the bootloader load the kernel". So you are already cold booting if you turn it off and on again.

Nobody came up with any evidence yet that the explicit selection of Android in the bootloader menu does anything more than simply not entering the bootloader menu and letting it boot normally.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
I noticed some interesting behavior when this happens on my device. Say its tethered to my phone's 3G, and there are up to 5 bars (pie slice shaped concentric rings) in the docked notifications panel on the lower right screen. Often my phone has 3-4 bars, but there are none showing on the device when this happens. This isn't ability to connect to wifi, it is connected, its ability to connect to the internet thru the wifi. I see this more often lately for some reason. I have to toggle my wifi or reset my hotspot so the bars come back on the device, and to re-connect to the internet. Happens often when I am posting here and there has been significant idle time between data exchange. Sometimes I can just highlight the address bar link and then hit enter and it reconnects. Seems like some kind of idle timeout. Maybe it has something to do with Verizon's hotspot connection and dwell time, and they are cutting off my allocated bandwidth connection so an "active" user can use it. Fine, but it doesn't reconnect me when I later transmit my data and that's not fine.
[Asus Transformer TF700] OutlawV:
That would make sense, if it was only my hotspot where I was having the problem, but it's the same on my WiFi at home. I also believe that the bars on the Transformer WiFi dock notification indicate WiFi signal strength.
[Asus Transformer TF700] OutlawV:
Ah, wasn't sure since the small change after 4.2, thanks.

I've been afraid that this would be a hardware problem, I've kept this baby well, and thought of trading it in for a refurb is not a pleasant one...
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
Ah, now that I am looking at that again I think you are right. I thought they represented the 3G signal strength of the phones connection. What's interesting is that when it happens, the display is erroneous, because in wifi analyser app it still shows me I have 50dB yet the bar graph shows zero bars. Connected wifi with no signal strength. Yup, that's my problem alright.
[Asus Transformer TF700] elfaure:
I just picked up on something key here, at least for my problem. I use the market app wifi toggle widget to toggle my wifi (and their other toggle widget too for bluetooth). When my wifi "drops out" which by I mean it stays connected but I still can't transmit/receive internet data, it corresponds to the blue color state of this widget, which according to the market description states my wifi is "enabled" but not "connected".

What exactly is this state of operation? In settings, it still shows the wifi network as being connected with the network name, but when my widget is blue not green I cannot transmit data nor receive data over the internet! How is that "connected" in settings? What is this mid-state of connection? Settings shows me no difference between these two states of wifi connectivity. Settings has either connected or disconnected but the widget has a third state, enabled. What is enabled but not connected? Why aren't there 3 states then shown in settings? You can't represent three states with a binary descriptor. This enabled state must just be wifi ON then. But something is flawed when Settings shows ON + Connected and I'm actually not connected, and this widget shows the truth, Blue not Green, not Settings. In order for my internet to work this widget must be green I've realized, but green or blue look the same to me in Settings.

Wifi Toggle Widget (Droidmania) Color Code:

Red-Disabled (OFF)

Blue-Enabled (ON?)

Green-Connected
[Asus Transformer TF700] OutlawV:
I get what you're saying, that's what I'm having too. The WiFi is enabled, but not connected, and refuses to connect until I disable and restore WiFi. Is there any record of this problem with non stock units?
[Asus Transformer TF700] powder man:
No problems since CROMI-X 4.6.4 - before had also a lot of these connection problems..
[Asus Transformer TF700] OutlawV:
What is CROMI-X?
[Asus Transformer TF700] berndblb:
The most popular custom rom on the TF700 :)
[Asus Transformer TF700] OutlawV:
I suspected that it was a software issue, thanks for the input.

So other than clearing up this connection issues, what are the benefits of this custom ROM?
[Asus Transformer TF700] Thiago_Scar:
I dont know if this helps, but i had a similar problem with my TF300T, after I updated it to android 4.2.2.

The thing is, after I updated it I did set up another user account so my mother could play her games without messing with my stuff, it took me a few months to realize why my Wifi wouldn't work , then I remembered there's an option to disable wifi when the screen is off, and this option was enabled on my mom's account.

I think when you use User A and the User B has this config enabled, Android thinks the screen is Off for the User B, then the wifi crashes because it tries do Enable (user a) and Disable (user b) the wifi at the same time, it's weird, but makes sense.

After i disabled that option on my moms acc it stoped crashing.
[Asus Transformer TF700] OutlawV:
Interesting bug, thanks for giving the details. I wish that was the issue here, but unfortunately I have only one user set up on this thing...
[Asus Transformer TF700] tgerczei:
Alas, re-flashing the device didn't help me, not with CROMI-X, but not even with CM. I'm still struggling with it. I'm contemplating some sort of a firmware downgrade perhaps. I've done that manually but it didn't help as I suppose I should have altered the nvram configuration as well. I cloned the previous version off git and replaced the files - they got loaded, the Wi-Fi worked, but didn't work any better than before so I failed back. I would be ultimately grateful for a solution. Slightly less grateful but still grateful for even the reason of the phenomenon. I also seem to re-call this issue surfacing after the last official OTA update. No ROM replacement mended it, mind you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
Are you sure it is not your router causing the issues?
[Asus Transformer TF700] OutlawV:
Yeah, unfortunately. I have the problem with more than just my home network.
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
Are you a tinker or tweaker? I have some tweaks for you that you could try. I don't know if it works for you or not. :fingers-crossed:
[Asus Transformer TF700] OutlawV:
I have been known to tinker here and there, what's your fix?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I have been a while since I played around with my wifi. I am not sure what rom you are using but you can go to your build.prop and find these tweaks and comment them out. I believed that what I did. Please let me know if it works, thanks.

#wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180

#ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0
[Asus Transformer TF700] OutlawV:
Ah, guess you didn't see the part about not being rooted or unlocked. Or can this be done without that?
[Asus Transformer TF700] LetMeKnow:
I don't follow this topic much because I don't have this issue since I use custom rom. I just scanned through this post and thought that I can share what I think it works for me with others. I am sorry about that you still on stock rom without root.. :o Unfortunately, you need to access to your build.prop to try it out.. Maybe someone can help you. Good luck.
[Asus Transformer TF700] sbdags:
I don't think those 2 settings are in the default build.prop anyway.
[Asus Transformer TF700] OutlawV:
So is this the first you've heard of the issue or one that you're familiar with?

Are you sure that it isn't an issue with the hardware? Another poster here noted that he already had another ROM installed, but was still experiencing the problem?

I appreciate anything you've got here, I may end up unlocking the bastard after all.
