I give facts and argument you insult sprint... well of course you are right. who has ever heard of the "can suck it" argument ever loosing. that's how we explained to Hitler and the Japanese emperor that he had to surrender in WW2 "Mr Hitler can suck it" -pres trueman, "since I can suck it I have ordered my forces to surrender and suggested to the Japanese to do the same"-hitler (translated to English)

if you can't give facts to support your claim you can go head and get an iPhone on a gsm network since you are using the same arguments apple uses to ensnare its sheep -i mean- customers

either that or you are an at&t rep or fanboy trying to weakarm customers away from sprint. why you aren't targeting your biggest competitor Verizon is beyond me but take that stuff to T-Mobile customers they'll eat that up like they eat their "unlimited" throttled data

one bad experience in one city with one small period of data speed downturn does not a bad carrier make

oh and mods don't blame chuko (or me) for starting arguments. arguments are healthy and help shape perception

In all fairness, Sprint in Denver does suck... 3g speeds right now. 200 kbps and no lte. There are a few lte towers popping up. but not in the metro area. Person in the cube next to me has AT&T and hspa+ is 15mbps and lte 40mbps. Faster than the cable provider here!

Tmobile has 4G LTE in almost all of New York with some decent coverage in Washington, Baltimore and Philadelphia and they're just starting.. So they actually do have real 4G lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
is it actually LTE? Or 3.5G like they have now where its up 42MBs
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] RayTrue04:
LTE according to Sensorly

Edit: To provide link of T Mobile LTE rollout dates and another one comparing all lte from the four carriers. ATT came in at number 1, Tmobile 2, Verizon 3 and of course our lovely Sprint last place on speed (nothing new).. They started out in May.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] yankees45us:
If you want to get the facts then the fact is that cdma technology is better than gsm. Only reason gsm is used more is because it's easier, cheaper and more widely used. But cdma is more secure and reliable. Verizon and Sprint both have less dropped calls and plenty of reviews show that call quality is far better than gsm. Not only that but when you drive around and are jumping from tower to tower gsm does hard handoffs. Cdma does soft handoffs and therefore has way less dropped calls.

In the end it's all about what works for you. No reason to get so mad and frustrated. Your probably gonna have a heart attack at 30. But hey to each their own.

Hi guys, first post and kindle / android virgin so bear with me.

Received a kindle fire HD 7 a few days ago and proceeded to root it. installed google play 4.1.10 and got this working with little to no problems. I have developed a problem with the screen where the left side is very dim so contacting amazon who will replace it. I want to restore to the factory stock image and unroot prior to returning this and I havent been able to find out how to do this (I have searched and searched). Can anyone point me in the direction of a tut to do this? Assuming I need a factory cable? all help appreciated.

many thanks

How did you root it?
[7" Kindle Fire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hinzman420:
If you dont have the second bootloader installed its easy to unroot. Go into your file explorer and goto system apps and delete vending.apk, googleserveciesframework.apk, googleloginservices.apk, superuser.apk, and any other google app you installed to system. Then you goto system/xbin and delete su and busybox. Then restart then factory reset should be back to stock unrooted.

anyone out there using wifi tether either rooted or not.

I did the latest system update, rooted device and I can't get wifi tether to work anymore. Tried replacing services.jar and services.odex, tried wifi tether for root users, barnacle, and even foxfi.

Nothing works.

I know I can revert back to before system update. Just wondering if there are any other ideas out there.

Bluetooth tether isn't working for me on MDL with root. I have not reflashed the hotspot mod.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] myphone12345:
You mean MDL?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dubroz:
Yes, I'm on MDL.

One other note ... my phone never did hands free activation, so there are no sprint aps installed, no spritnt zone, no sprint loading picture, etc ...

I can not get hotspot mod to work or anything. Perhaps not doing hands free activation precludes hotspot from working.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lakemann:

Earlier today my whole google voice integration got screwed up today with this system update. I had to take my phone into sprint for them to hard reset it then re-flash it and then reprogram the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] dubroz:
I have confirmation ... It doesnt work because sprint apps were never installed with hands free activation.

Nothing to do with MDL vs MDC.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] gharlane00:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lakemann:

I have found that my home icons are unresponsive. Pressing them is indicated, but no axon happens unless it is pressed multiple times.

Has this happened to anyone else out there?
[Sony Xperia ZL] rioferraz:
you applied root and recovery?
[Sony Xperia ZL] dirt_squirrel:
No, right now it's pure stock.

I've done some reading and found it has to do with installing root explorers and things like that (not specific other than that) and causing issues with the xperia launcher. Th did some sort of software repair after deleting the apps. That seems like a convoluted solution to a dumb problem.

Did a factory reset and i'm good now, just gonna watch the apps I install I guess.

With that said, does anybody know of any specific apps that might cause this?
[Sony Xperia ZL] nukharma:
On which firmware u are?

If u are on a fw before .253, it is a problem with the Sony launcher, it has to do with the animation settings into developer settings, don't turn animation time to off, otherwise u got them unresponsive after restarting the phone.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dirt_squirrel:
I'm on .395 right now and after not sideloading anything I seem to be good to go. I also have the dev option animations set to X.5 so that may be it as well.

I'll leave the animations as is and try my other apps again and see if it happens again.

If you have any other info about the ZL that i should be aware of please don't hesitate to post here or pm me. As a new owner I like to hear about other's experience with it after a while.

Thanks again!

Hey guys, first time posting. Just had a quick question.

Coming from an iPhone 4S, my phone was constantly pumping tunes through my USB connection on my 2013 Hyundai Elantra. When i got my S4 a couple days ago, i tried connecting it via USB and got a connection error on my car and on my phone it wouldnt let me switch the USB mode to Media Player. Is anyone else facing a similar issue with a possible workaround?

You can use a piece of sticky tape to pull it off.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bamse:
Sticky tape is the best way to do it. No danger of ruining your screen.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Rayan:
Just remember not to pull the protector in a 90 degree angle... Try to pull it slowly from one corner with your fingers as close to the screen as possible since you could damage the digitizer if pulled in a 90 degree angle.

So, I could only view my last 25 emails with the stock SGS4 email.apk, and well, thats a problem. So, I tried to install the stock AOSP apk files, but, now, whenever I try to open email, it freezes the phone for a little and says exchange services have stopped responding and email has stopped responding.

So, if anyone can help me a) install the AOSP email app or b) Install the stock email app (i dont have a backup unfortunately)

Thanks guys!

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] drlzanej:
Thank you Magnum, tried both methods with no luck so I just popped the cork with Moonshine and it worked like a charm. Thanks again :cool:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tristandespain:
I mean no offense by this but if you need a one click method, then maybe s-off isn't for you. There are plenty of maybes that come with s-off. With revone all it takes is a few commands in terminal emulator. Takes about 3 minutes.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Riff76:
Glad you made it over here man
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] lehalter:
You assume too much. I have no problem flashing and what not. I originally rooted my Evo with the original root methods. That took 45 minutes. I knew/know the risks associated.

The reason I am waiting for the 1 click is that is a refined process, meaning they have all or the majority of the bugs worked out. I could honestly care less about brioking my phone. My insurance plan gives me a new phone whenever I want with no deductible...I just don't want to go through the process. By the time 1 click is ready, the development community will have progressed to the point where most ROMs are fully functioning. At this point, flashing would be for flashing sake. I am past that point.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] cfendrick:
We probably won't have a one click.

How can we all help make life easier for you.... Read the instructions, don't ask questions and if thinking it can be made easier, do it and then share.

^^^^^As said earlier,^^^^^I used Moonshine to get s-off, thats about as one click as its gonna get i think. Really easy.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] frankk1979:

Yeah dude I tried the Revon method last night and somehow it really messed mine up.. I ended up having to run the ruu and put my phone back to factory.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] drlzanej:
When i tried the Revone it wouldnt run in terminal dont know why, just wouldnt. Iwas kinds leary about the moonshine method, was readng that people were having difficulty. Further reading i noticed that the ones that had the best results were the ones that were bone stock (unlocked and rooted of course). Give it a shot man. Read the last couple pages of the thread. Alotta good info there.

If you do get stuck where it says Moonshining<1> .....................etc. just manually reboot your phone and it'll finish. Hope this helped. Later ,,,:cool:,,,
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] rsktkr1:
Try the Moonshine and make sure to do a manual reboot through the stages - its really simple.

Has anyone else noticed that when flashing from a stock ROM to aosp, the wallapaper previously used with a different aosp ROM is remembered and used? I always wipe data cache delvik and system. Somehow my phone always remembers what wallpaper I had previously. Maybe this is just minor but is it possible that it isn't wiping everything? Idk, maybe there's a simple reason but I was just wondering. Thanks
[Sprint LG Optimus G] patrao_n:
Is this before or after restoring apps that you notice this. My wifes phone doesnt do this.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] bowhunt2005:
Its before installing anything other than gapps. Maybe gapps is doing it somehow

Maybe you check the settings when you're logging in to your gmail account where it ask you restore all data and apps from previous phone. Don't remember the phrase but something like that if you do check it then it will restore the wallpaper

History:

Well not really sure about what happen to the phone but when it was handed to me it was already stuck on boot logo.

I can go into recovery mode but it always say E: failed to mount /efs (invalid argument) which I reckon would be an empty efs folder since I handled some problem too before with same problem and they all got no files on efs folder.

Well what I already did was flashed it with 4 part files via Odin3 v3.07 from the rescue firmwares from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=30087735&postcount=6

Used XELLA and XXEMC2 with pit and it flashed all right but still stuck on boot logo

Question is, is the empty EFS causing the stuck on boot logo or some other issues like NAND corrupted/damaged already?

Or can I rebuild the EFS folder from other i9300 working EFS in the stuck on boot logo state?

Thanks in advance for the input..

Well I don't have the EFS backup as clearly stated on my first post and while replacing the motherboard is the quickest "fixed" possible, If I got lucky and I have one? But I am just wondering out of the blue if there's another workaround, I've went through a lot of threads here with same problem but unfortunately no concrete solution than send it in for replacement, anyway just trying out my luck on this thread.

Update:

Well there's a miracle happened,

I flashed it again with the XXEMC2 without the pit and now it went past to the boot logo but it just keeps on restarting now on the Samsung animation welcome screen (say a boot loop?)...

Hi, just simple question. How can I setup black background for all ROM apks that doesnt have their own background?

I tried Omega 5.0, Wanam 1.2, prerooted MF2 ROM and all of these have very dark grey colour backgroung in settings, contacts, messaging etc. Before MEA (e.g. on ME2 I used quite long) there was 100% black background (with well known smearing efect which doesnt bother me so much). So, sammy changed the background from black to dark grey for eliminating smearing efect and to shut our mouth up :mad: THX for advice I think many of us love our AMOLED display with true blacks and hate samsung for these cheap tricks!

Here are screenshot, if you cant see the difference, just use the pipette (colour picker) in your favourite photo editing program and observe what colour it truly is...

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Koksie:
There are two simple methods: On your PC, open File Explorer, select the files you want to move, copy them and go to Mobile Device, located under your harddisks. In Mobile Device, select Sorage Card, go to the folder where you want them and paste them there.

Another method: In Active Sync, click Explore and use the same procedure as above, slect the files on your HD, copy/ paste them to your Mobile Decive/Storage Card.

Be sure to shut down your Firewall or grant Internet Access to File Explorer and Active Sync, or it won't work.
