A little off topic but since I'm a long time Linux user (~14 years) I have to correct you. Linux Mint is based on Ubuntu, which has roots in Debian. Lindows was a completely different distribution but similar in the sense that it was Debian-based then moved to an Ubuntu base. Lindows' claim to fame was their Click n' Run package manager which supposedly was easy and they had some commercial supported apps---however it died off around 5 years ago.

I'm an Arch user and haven't tried plugging my phone in the computer, I just use a SFTP client on the phone to connect to SSH on my Linux box. I can give it a shot when I'm back home.

In Ubuntu what does your dmesg say when plugging in the phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lordcheeto03:
It does seem to be a little tempermental, but I like to think it's because I'm not using the stock cable. Even when it works using this cable, it still throws this like 30 times after succesfully connecting, but I can still transfer data.

EDIT: still says that with the stock cable, but it also still works. ;)

I've noticed on all CM ROM's that I cannot change the Messaging or Gmail notification tones to anything but default. Also, in the apps' menus they always displays the RINGtone instead of the notification tone. Seems like a minor glitch. Does anyone have a fix/workaround for this other than using an alternative sms app like GoSMS or Handcent? It happens on 4.2 and 4.3 ROM's no matter what gapps is used. It helps to have separate tones for email and messaging but the phone's not wanting to make that happen. Thanks!

OK, it appears that USB mass storage mode went out with Honeycomb and you need to use MTP instead (this is what Windows uses)

I've read that Ubuntu 13.04 has MTP support built in but for Mint you'll likely have to add it. Check out this post:

NFC preventing Deep Sleep?

My stock (unrooted) T-Mobile Galaxy S4 sometimes gets into a state where it drains battery more quickly than normal. I've used BetterBatteryStats to narrow the problem down to a specific kernel wakelock which keeps the device from sleeping. In the last case, it kept it awake for 98.9% of the 5 hours the phone was on and screen off.

Specific wakelock was: "bcm2079x_wake_lock_2nd" which I believe is related to the NFC chip (which is BCM2079x chip).

When the phone gets into this state, a reboot clears things up and battery drain returns to a normal rate.

How can I find out whether this is a bug (and common) in the phone's stock firmware or if there is a fix that I can apply?

I have not yet worked out the chain of events that triggers this bad state. I use NFC tags to configure the phone in and out of "Car Dock" mode. I use NFC Task Launcher app to program the NFC tags (Samsung TexTiles2). I expect that something goes poorly when I scan one of my tags that triggers the bad state.

I'm not sure where to go from here and would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Id use Google to see if it's a known bug. Past that I don't know what to tell you. Even if you isolate the cause with you being unrooted I can't imaging how you'd fix it.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] corkythetard:
**Edit** I misread your post. I am not sure, to answer your question. I use GoSMS, but push custom files to the system to avoid lag when notification/ringtone should sound.

You need to push the custom ringtones, notifications, and alarms via adb or copy and paste via a file manager from external to /system/media/audio/alarms, ringtones, or notifications.

Below are the adb commands I use in command prompt after updating my ROM:

cd\

cd\Android\sdk\platform-tools

adb shell

su

mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

exit

exit

adb root

adb push C:\android\notifications /system/media/audio/notifications

adb push C:\android\ringtones /system/media/audio/ringtones

adb push C:\android\alarms /system/media/audio/alarms

adb reboot

Unplug USB from device after reboot starts and you're golden!

HTH!

Have a problem..

I flashed a new ROM today which normally is a breeze for me. I already rooted the phone and had a previous version of this same ROM running fine for over a week now, zero issues, this was just to get the latest version on the phone. Turns out it did not like my phone so back to the previous nandroid right? No joy. Errors in the backup so I wiped the device fully including cache etc. and from there things get worse. The prior version of the ROM was not working well either and I was getting lockups. I threw in the towel, loaded ODIN and flashed the stock ROM. No joy. Now after a wipe it it hangs at the Galaxy S4 screen. Making things worse I wiped it completely back to nothing but recovery then after ODIN was complete and reboots.. Galaxy S 4 screen. I cannot shut it down unless I pull the battery. When I replace the battery I get the grey battery indicator and cannot reboot the phone into recovery unless I pull the battery and then use the volume up / power button method. Any thoughts? I am at wits end wondering what the hell I did to screw my new phone to heck. :crying:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
If you have TWRP 2.6.0.0 for your custom recovery,that can be the cause of your issues. This version of TWRP is known to cause issues. If you do have this installed, ODIN TWRP 2.5.0.1

I've been using it for months without any issues.

You can then ODIN Samsung Stock Firmware after doing a Full Wipe, and start with a clean slate.

Which ROM did you install when you were having the issues? Ah, ok, Alpha S4 6.0

You posted in that thread. I gotta look back and see what happened.

Alright, I read your posts.

Regarding Alpha S4 6.0, I am running that now as of this morning. To let you know I had the same issue of Boot looping. I was like, ah, this sux. But no biggie as I knew what went wrong. Here's what happened to me which may pertain to you.

- I was running Infamous S4 ROM prior to installing Alpha 6.0

- I did a Full wipe since the Framework was different, etc. and I wanted to start fresh. Alpha is based off the i9505 framework.

- I did the full wipe, booted and things were working well.

- After about 10 minutes, i installed my previous apps with TiBu. One of those apps was the 3Minit app which i had used prior. It was version 3.1

- I went into 3minit settings to change some stuff, but none of the settings took.

- I went into the Playstore and updated to 3Minit app version 3.2

- I went to change some 3Minit settings and the Fruit-Looping began :(

- This was an easy one to figure out because the Fruit-looping didn't begin until I updated the app.

- In this case, I caused the Conflict which began the Boot looping because Alpha 6.0 has 3minit Framework 3.2 and I installed the 3.1 app and then updated it to 3.2 wrongly which conflicted with 3.2 3minit Framework which is cooked into Alpha 6.0

- I did a Full Wipe again, flashed Alpha 6.0 again and Booooted the phone.

- After doing the initial set up upon Boot, the first thing i did was install 3Minit app 3.2

- I changed some of my 3Minit settings with success.

- I then installed my previous apps with TiBu and I have been good to go since :good:

Hopefully something in my above experience will help you to figure out what may have went wrong with the install and what the cause of your issues may be.

Hi,

There is an ODIN guide in the second post.

:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
First off before you do anything else go to the cm download page linked in the cm thread in the general forum. Download the latest nightly and put it on your sd card so you have it later.

Get gapps too. The link is right blow the cm download page link in the cm thread.

You want to root using ch auto root. Follow this guide exactly.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=41797153

This will leave you with a rooted stock rom but no recovery. But you are done with odin.

When you are done install goo manager from google play. Run it then hit the menu button and from the menu that pops up select Install Open Recovery Script.

You will now have TWRP recovery installed. This isn't the most feature rich recovery but it is super easy to use, and for your first time that is a bonus.

Now you can boot into recovery and backup your stock rom, then do a full wipe of dalvik, cache, system, and data and NOTHING ELSE. This will leave you with a blank phone.

Now you can install cm10.1 from recovery. Just flash the zip. Then flash gapps. Then reboot and enjoy cm10.1

Is there anyway that when I press the home button that it actually takes me to my main home screen? I usually need to press it twice to get to my main screen.

Second, Does anyone know if Samsung will send another battery or charger for free because of warranty? When I had an HTC phone, they sent me out another battery and charger because I was entitled to one for the year, without having to return my previous battery and charger ( which worked perfectly btw. Nothing wrong with having extras ha )
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Toleraen:
Home button should take you to the home screen with one push, assuming you're using stock. When I first got the phone the button was fairly flush with the screen and would tend to miss fully depressing it. Adding a little home button 'sticker' to raise the tactile feel of it helped significantly (especially coming from a capacitive home button).

I haven't heard of Samsung sending battery/chargers for free, but it's worth a shot! When I was on the SGS2 with Sprint they'd replace batteries with no questions if there were any issues with it though. Chargers are a dime a dozen so I never checked on that...

receiving text mesaage on the email app plus the messaging app! is that normal?

Hello everyone, I'm not sure if this is normal, but when I receive a text message it appears in the messaging app and the email app! I'm using Microsoft exchange account for my school email, is there a settings that can disable receiving text messages on the email app? I've never heard of something like that anyway but it drives me crazy! Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dj_aj:
So, after seeing a few videos of the S4 running the aokp ROM.. I'm hooked!

The phone seems to fly though the menus, app loading etc.. It seems like it's a completely different device! And in comparison running the stock touchwiz rom on the s4 is like buying a lamborghini & using it to haul a trailer... You get the point!

This brings me to my question. Say after I'm done installing the custom recovery, kernel & rooting it etc. And I need to go back to stock for warranty purposes. Is it just as simple as flashing the stock rom via Odin? And is a custom kernel necessary to run aokp?

Thanks...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] malybru:
Hi,

Kernels are included in the ROM.

Yes ,to getting back to stock.

Also,when you install anything "Custom",it will move your "Counter" up.

That is weird, buddy. I have never seen this.

If you check your email from a PC are your text messages showing up? Or it it only on your phone?

If they do show up in your email when checked from a pc then the only thing I can think of is that you are auto forwarding the text messages to your email address. But I didn't even know you could do that. And I really can't imagine you could set that up by accident.

Are you on the stock ROM? What messaging app are you using?

Thanks dude, No, I am using the stock ROM and installed APEX launcher on it, and I am also using the stock messaging app. I just checked my email from my laptop and YES, I can read all of my text messages through my student email lol that is kinda cool but annoying at the same time if I am not able to control it. Plus I keep getting two notifications everytime I receive a message, and now I have like 50+ unread emails! which they are text messages forwarded to my email!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You may also have your text messages forwarded to your email by your cell phone carrier. Call them and see if that is some kind of a feature that you are signed up for.

I don't think this is a problem on your phone. My guess is that your carrier is doing this and your phone has nothing to do with it. That could get set up accidentally since your carrier probably already has your email address.

It should. The phone network doesn't care if the device is rooted or not.

TWO Questions...Not a n00b, but new to GS4

New to the S4, not new to xda or droid...

So I just picked up my TmoUS GS4...I previously had a very rooted and developed Sensation (which allowed for sd card usage).

On this GS4, I cannot move apps to sd, and have read that Samsung will be releasing an OTA update which will allow for that (but TmoUS hasn't yet received the update as of this writing).

Question one-

SHOULD I WAIT FOR THE UPDATE TO HAPPEN BEFORE ROOTING?

On my Sensation, once rooted, it was hard to get updates, it pretty much locked me out, so I had to flash a new rom if I wanted any updates (although many of those roms were better than stock anyway). I actually like this GS4 as stock (for now), but do want root access and to remove bloat. If I root now, will I be able to do OTA updates and get the app2sd that will be released, or will rooting, lock me out of updates? Should I wait until after the update to root (and does anyone know of an eta for that update to TmoUS)??

Because I don't have easy access to my sd (other than file explorers), books I'd previously stored to my sd Nook and Kindle (while using the Sensation with app2sd capabilities) are not reading on the GS4. Without having to re-download everything and waste valuable space on my onboard memory...

Question two-

HOW CAN I GET MY NOOK AND KINDLE APPS TO READ BOOKS STORED ON MY SD CARD?

I have even tried opening them from my sd card, and got a big "Nope, can't do that" error message.

My screen turns on when getting a SMS

Hi, just as the title says. My screen turns on when receiving text messages. The only way I can get it to stop is to disable notifications in the app. I am running stock SGH-919 with root. If anyone has figured out how to "fix" this I would be greatly appreciative for the info. :) thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
You pretty much nailed it on the head with what happened. I was using TWRP, the previous ROM was Alpha 4. I still wiped prior to installing the new version and that is when things hit the fan. I will give this a shot and see what happens and post back. I was up till 2 am downloading a stock ROM that kept failing part way through which was not helping any. LOL

EDIT: So with the recovery I wiped and formatted everything, SD card included. I loaded the ROM back onto the card after it was formatted. Using ODIN I installed the stock ROM again, then updated the recovery with ODIN as well. Rebooted. Rebooted into recovery and installed the new ROM. Rebooted back into recovery wiping the cache. Rebooted again. Rebooted into the ROM and waited the five minutes. Oddly enough it did not prompt me to sign into anything like I expect most ROM's and I was at the desktop from the get go so after the cool down period I set up my Google account and updated 3minit, rebooted and was able to get into 3minit and change settings. I am knocking on wood and not saying a word otherwise for fear of some melt down. Thanks a bunch for the suggestions.

Out of curiosity how much space is does the S4 6.0 take on the phones internal SD card? When I view it in Windows Explorer my external card is pretty empty compared to the internal card that has a little over 1GB remaining from 9.47GB. Seems like this is loaded to the bear. Is the stock ROM saved on the card in that 0 folder? I literally have 905mb free on my phones card which can't be right?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
@ demonr6

Good to hear :)

Alpha S4 6.0 takes up approx. 1.5GB

You can always check the download file to see the exact size.

After flashing Alpha 6.0, I deleted the file in Root Explorer to free up some device storage.

Storage/emulated/0

Edit:

Try wiping cache and dalvik cache in Recovery.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] demonr6:
I did that, I think something is fubar from the original mess. Once the ROM is installed without even logging into Google to download the 3minit update the internal card has about 1GB left which means the build is taking up approximately 8GB unpackaged.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Biker1:
When you're up to it, you'll probably have to:

- Full Wipe, including Internal. In TWRP, there's an option to do this requiringyyou torenter YES, so you don't wipe internal by accident, and you want to wipe internal intentionally.

- Flash your ROM again.

****MOVE any files you have on your device to your SD card or pc, if you want to save them considering you'll be wiping device memory. I know this sounds obvious, but you wanna know how many people forget to move the ROM file, and after they do a Wipe, they're like, hey, where's that ROM I wanna flash? :eek: And then when it finally hits them, or they post asking where their download went, it's like, oh st!

The above should get you back on track ;)

If it has app2sd what you need to do is go into (I didnt see anything in that thread stating it has apps2sd but I think it's by default 4.3 has apps2sd)

Look for your GS4 stock rom flashable via Odin. Odin back to stock, re-root, and you should be all set.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] corkythetard:
Use Titanium Backup for User Apps, Call Log, and SMS/MMS if you need as well. Also, I would advise setting up a Dropbox account, if you don't have one already, and syncing Titanium Backup to your Dropbox. That way in case you lose your phone, it goes for a swim in the drink, or gets stolen you will have a cloud backup of your apps to restore onto your device after a clean wipe.

What root method are you talking about for manually rooting?
