[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] DarkMenace:
You should make a backup of your installed applications using Titanium Backup. You will then need to Odin back to the original Firmware because you said you can't get OTA updates for some reason. This will cause a loss in root. It will also wipe all your data and programs off the device. If done correctly you will not brick your phone. Make sure the file is in the PDA slot. You can root the phone again by going here. Once everything is setup you can use Titanium Backup to restore all your applications. Then make sure to use TriangleAway to reset your flash counter.

Last I checked, the op's phone is not supported by Triangle Away.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PhoenixDD:
Well sir I suppose u did not get my question properly

I have adam's kernel installed and twrp recovery but my firmware is original and hence I don't recieve the OTA and Kies updates

Further my mobile is an I9500 butbthe link u provided is i9505
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PhoenixDD:
I would also like to know if my cuzrom kernel and Recovery will retain after I update to official ROM using odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] PhoenixDD:
Okay so I couldn't wait for any answers and I gathered some guts and flashed the new firmware .

My root's worn off , So i have used the CF autoroot thingy posted by DarkMenace above to root it again.

and yes all my applications and contacts r still intact

I love Samsung Galaxy S4 :')

Thanks people for all ur help :good:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
Just out of curiosity, why did you bother posting in this forum of you have an i9500? Would it not have made infinitely more sense to ask your question in that device's forum?

Hey all.,

Been currently checking out some of the Chinese phones on the market, needless to say I am pretty convinced they are great value for money.

Does anybody know of any popular Chinese phones that have a bit of a custom rom community?

Otherwise any know that are decent/reputable?

My budget is about $200, pref less but thats the max I will spend.

Currently using a HTC Desire HD.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ajohnson5080:
Upgrading from the international not n7000 and am psyched (just picked up for 380 on eBay). I currently have my note 1 on the 30 dollar 5gb of 4g plan. Can I switch imei and sim cards or do I need to start a whole other plan? Can I just cut the sim card I have to a mini and use it in my new note II? I plan on selling the note 1 and don't want to have the imei locked for the new buyer. Any thoughts? Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] kozmo21:
Just swap the sim to the note 2 and you're done. (cut if needed)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ajohnson5080:
Thanks, but what about my original notes imei being on the account. If someone tried to activate it on t mobile would it be blocked? I'm thinking no, but wasn't sure if imeis mattered with the t mobile prepaids as far as having the same imei on multiple accounts. I have heard some people just put all 9s.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SC23:
From what I read somewhere in the forum is that if you paid full price for the phone already then you can do whatever you want with it, including selling it to anyone you want.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ajohnson5080:
Thanks for the replies. I checked with a t mobile rep who assured me that even with the prepaid that I just had to get them the new sim info and they would transfer everything over to the Note 2. I was worried I was going to have to wait for the other month to expire, re-port my number to a new 30 dollar account etc. Thank goodness that does not appear to be the case. They are shipping me a micro sim kit for .99. I'll update once, hopefully, all goes well!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ajohnson5080:
Transfer of sim went without a hitch. Just called and gave sim card number and transfered to my new phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Dan Law 001:
Hello, unlike in Titanium Backup where you can choose the number of backups you want to keep, I can not see any option in which you can choose the number of Nandroid backups you wish to keep. For example, if I want to make a backup everyday automatically and if I forget to delete one every day, in a week, I will end up with 7 backups which will fill up my device's storage. Even if I remember to delete a backup every day, it will become quite tedious. So, how can I make Nandroid backups overwrite each other so that I will always have 1 SINGLE backup?
[General Questions and Answers] zombieplanalpha:
Manually with root explorer. TWRP has backup to SD card rather than internal memory but those backups are big so you will still need to delete them occasionally. I why do you want a full nandroid backup every day? TiBu will keep track of app changes daily if set that way. How many actually system changes are you making everyday?

[Nokia Lumia 920] Etaduck:
Meh,

The only page I've come across that needed flash was the one for a local restaurant. The majority of the sites have minimized or move from flash, or aren't intended for mobile devices.

[Nokia Lumia 920] Solarenemy68:
Adobe as of the year before last pulled out of the mobile market. That means flash is not even available on Android devices now unless you get a third party app that may still be floating around. All websites are supposed to be converting to HTML5 if they want mobile viewer traffic. If they have not converted then they are only interested in PC traffic and you should boycott the site to show them the traffic they are missing. Rather than make your work, you should make the sites do what they are supposed to do.

My android phone (Asus PadFone 2) is capable of showing live streams on Twitch.tv with the default browser, but I have no idea how. If I try to play a video from the day before on the website, it says I need flash player, so it only works if the channel is live. On my Lumia 920 however if I go to Twitch.tv, it says I need flash player, even if the channel is live... So how is it my PadFone can show live streams if its still flash-based, yet I get an error saying I need flash if I try to play videos from the day before?

I tried an unofficial Twitch TV app. on WP. It works well, but you have to pay to not get cut off every 5mins or so. I wish WP would also be able to show live streams on the actual Twitch TV website.

BBC has alot of apps for reading it ... an the official player in the store

let me preface this topic by saying that this an observation rather than a criticism.

does anyone think that the Original Android Development forum for the Verizon S4 is moving slower than it did for the S3? I had the privilege of owning both devices when they were launched and it seems like the S3 had a more active Original Android Development community. does anyone else agree? and if so, is there a reason why? I thought it might have to do with 4.3 being around the corner but I didn't know if there was anything else or if this device just isn't as popular.

Rightclick in the adb window, choose 'open command prompt here' that way you don't have to manually navigate to the right directory
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Rirere:
To run an executable script in OS X, cd to the directory you downloaded adb to, and then run "./adb sideload path-to-zip", or by the same token, "./fastboot flash system path-to-system".

Just prefix your command with a dot. It's generally easier on the OS X side, since the driver issue is usually quite moot (for that reason, I generally flash from my Mac. Since my Macbook is toast right now though, it's all happening Windows-style these days!).

hello,

My S100 can not shut down when i press the power button during 2 seconds. (Note: Turning your device off doesn’t turn the phone off. To turn the phone off, press and hold for two seconds.)

It looks off, but it's not, the phone is still on !

I heard i can use the "inflight mode", but i'd like to know the correct manip' to turn off the device AND the phone !

Any idea ? :roll:

ROM : 1.03.02 FRE

Date : 11/02/04
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ammar:
the only correct way to turn the phone off is to use the flight mode.

if you pressed the power botton for 2 sec you will turn the screen light off.

regards.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Koksie:
Pressing the power button does not turn the phone off, that is an error in the manual as far as I know.

Only Flight mode turns off the phone function, when you press the power buton shortly the S100 powers down ( goes into sleep mode), when you press the power button longer the backlight goes off. If you look close, you see the screen is still on then and when you tap it, the programs you tap will respond. When you turn the S100 to sleep mode, the screen switches completely off and does not respond to anything.

You cannot turn the S100 completely off, since no power means no RAM, means a hard reset, means all data you installed gone. In sleep mode, the S100 uses very little power to retain the data and is still able to run alarms, notifications etc.

If you want an easier way to switch your phone to flight mode than tapping the signal symbol in the top and then tapping in the pop-up ,and create alternative modes ( like meeting, loud, soft, quiet, etc), I recommend PocketZenPhone, where you can easily create your own phone modes with buttons on your today screen. The app is very cheap ( 5 euro's) and the links can be found on this forum.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] thesamy:
thanx a lot for you're answers ! That helps !

If I am correct, if I need to reboote the device and the phone (for instance, after i installed the "contacts short cut programm designed by Mamaich), the only solution I have is to remove the battery ??? :roll:

I tried to put the phone in flight mode and shut down the device but it didn't work....
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Koksie:
I think you need to read your manual better!

Rebooting the device can be done by a soft reset. You just put your stylus point into the little hole in the bottom of the S100, right of the headset hole, and press. It then restarts completely and loads your programs again etc.

Removing the battery also soft resets, BUT: If you leave it out too long, the back up batery runs out and you do a hard reset, thereby removing all data on your device you installed! It will leave you with an S100 as it came from the factory, but all your own data is completely gone (programs, contacts etc)! A Hard reset can also be done by pressing and holding the power button while at the same time doing a soft reset as described above, by putting your stylis in the little hole.

With some programs, like SPB PocketPlus you can select a small reset button to be present on your today screen, so you don't have to push your stylus in the little hole everytime you want to soft reset.

I hope this helps.
