[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RealTic:
After my 6th s4 had lines going through the screen and burnt pixels..... I really lost my cool. I demanded my money back so I could purchase the s4 elsewhere. Got my refund... went to best buy, and what do you know, an s4 that WORKS. The sprint store I was dealing with was pretty cool with all the exchanges, and were jusy mind blown by my bad luck with this s4. I called samsung and asked them how they plan to release different s4 builds if they still cant get their QC under control with the original s4.

I can't say Samsung really screwed up this round, considering I could have been dealing with a bad shipment, but after reading various posts, its pretty clear samsung has some MAJOR flaws that need to be worked out in their manufacturing department.

P.s.

ALL the phones I had, including this one, has purple smearing. Pretty sure virtually all s4's have it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] optimummind:
Wow, that's really crazy and troublesome what you went through. I feel lucky b/c my first smartphones received never had such problems.

The purple smear, though, is a software fix away in a future firmware update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Stealyourface:
That's great. Yes all S4 have smearing. It has to do with the pixels catching up to what you're doing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] maxpower7:
I'm not sure I understand all this talk about purple smearing. I got my phone off Amazon, and I've had zero issues. I've never seen anything that I would remotely describe as "purple smearing." Maybe a tiny, almost undescernable about of ghosting if I'm looking at black text on a white background and I scroll really fast, but nothing worse than any other device I've owned (better in most cases, actually).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cas8180:
Same here I got two s4s one from craiglist the other from assurion notna single issue with either. I am pretty shocked to hear of such issues. Also wondering if its possible it could be psychosomatic
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RealTic:
Well, if you would consider 10+ burnt pixels , body scuffing, and lines running down your screen as just high expectations, im sure you would have been quite satisfied.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RealTic:
Turn your brightness on auto or down, go into your settings and scroll. You will see purple smearing and text ghosting. Its a firmware issue and im willing to bet all s4's have it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] maxpower7:
I don't know if that's an S4 issue as much as it's an issue with AMOLED screens in general. In any case, it doesn't affect me because I like to keep my screen nice and bright.

---------- Post added at 02:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:32 PM ----------

I decided to turn my brightness all the way down and try it for myself. Still no smearing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] HeisRisen:
Me either. I work for Sprint and sell four to ten s4's in a day. Haven't had one return except for the usual suspects who claim the phone got so hot it melted their face off and it never gets that hot when we check. Of course, these are usually the folk with candy crush and multiple crap free games running in the back ground. Everybody in my family had s4's with 0 defect. 5 to be exact
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RealTic:
Amoled screens are not supposed to smear purple and ghost at low brightness. I have personally handled over ten galaxy s4's and every single one had this issue. You are either not catching it or extremely lucky. Either way it's not that big of a deal, doesn't bother me really, just annoying knowing its there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] HeisRisen:
Can you post video of the smearing? Because since reading this post, I can't duplicate it any device I've sold from the store, our demo devices or our family devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] 00mred00:
Open the app drawer and swipe through the apps slowly, back and forth....I verified it on every S4 in our store and mine yesterday...I owned the phone for weeks and never noticed.

Some others have mentioned an issue that has been present on all AMOLED...that issue is different and is "crush" where black/gray are not rendered correctly. I too made the assumption this is what everyone was refering too.

Also mentioned it is supposedly in the kernel and will be fixed in an update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] HeisRisen:
Uh, that's written into the framework. The opaque setting of an icon is meant to change as it transitions on and off the screen. That is not a defect or smearing. Would love to see video of it's so easy to duplicate.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] maxpower7:
I'm still baffled by this. I literally have no idea what this "purple smearing" even refers to. I can't duplicate anything resembling "smearing" of any color in any part of the UI on any brightness setting no matter what I do. I guess I got lucky, per the previous post :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Stealyourface:
That's just it. I know some people make a bigger deal out of it than it sounds. But that's simply it. Biggest test is this video, you should see no purple when watching it on your phone. If you do, that is also it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] oscarthegrouch:
I don't see this at all when I have things set up the way you described. You probably have defective hardware.

---------- Post added at 04:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:29 AM ----------

I don't see what you're saying. You probably have defective hardware. Go into a sprint store and see if their demos act the same way. If they don't, then you need a replacement.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Stealyourface:
Hey if you don't notice it, that's great for you. Everybody has different eyes. It is something hard to notice to most. But the fact is every s4 has this (without the new update that hasn't come to us yet). Since it has to do with the pixels lagging behind what you're doing. Yes I've seen it on multiple devices. in person and at stores.

Now my phone is defective, but that's because I have that pink gradient issue. But I already spoke to Samsung about it and they will exchange it. But I can't afford to be without a phone for 2 weeks. So I'm holding off on that right now, and most likely won't ever send it in. Anyway, the ghosting or smearing, isn't a defect.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] 00mred00:
The demo phones do it as well. Literally all S4s I have tested do it. I am on a custom rom and kernel and the issue is gone for me. On the stock kernel the icons literally look like they are falling apart while flipping through the app drawer. I will try and get video if I have time this week.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] maxpower7:
I'm currently on the stock rom and kernel and my phone does nothing of the sort. I've used custom roms (both AOSP and TW), and noticed absolutely no difference between the stock set up and custom roms/kernels.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] 00mred00:
I didn't notice it until I went looking for it. Had the phone for a couple of weeks prior and never noticed. If I can make time I will get video...not really a priority for me though ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] HeisRisen:
Of course it's not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] 00mred00:
Sorry man...I have a family and work 60 hours a week. I am lucky if I remember to cut my nails on a regular basis.

I am one of a handful of people in this thread that can confirm the issue....noticed yesterday that even my messages screen...names and texts break up in the same way when scrolling though them, very similar to the

Icons in the app drawer issue. This is on the rooted custom rom and kernel.

The issue is there...but when you see it you will be like uhhh...seriously? THAT is what they are talking about?
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun.s:
Hey all.

just wondering if there's a tweak for the Xyz that enables us to have the multi screen/ window option.

played with a Samsung today and it's very handy.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] salanos:
If there is any, it likely involves a custom ROM (TWhiz ROM maybe?) and root. Sony has the small apps feature in lieu of Multi-window, which can be better or worse depending on your preference. Mind you, you can only open one Small App at a time, but you can also only have two windows in TouchWhiz last I checked.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] juanyunis:
Well, you can have 2 apps side by side, but also you can put popup video, popup browser all at the same time, so it's like having 4 apps on the screen, i've tried that with my Galaxy S4.

To be honest i like small apps, i would love to have more than 1 small app running at the same time. browsing, calculator, recorder, etc.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun.s:
Maybe.

small apps are ok but love what Samsung have come up with
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWFlyerUK:
Completely agree - multi window is awesome.

It's a shame that Sony don't allow more than 1 small app open at the a time. Annoying actually.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaun.s:
It's totally a shame.

Lets see how it goes a guess
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morti:
I've searched for this a lot myself and the best solution I've come up with is to use my phone as a second screen. Depressing, but there it is. Google asked CyanogenMod to not include multi window and Samsung's solution will only ever work on Samsung devices because of the myriad of underlying changes in Samsung's framework, which isn't easily portable to other devices and I'm not aware of anyone doing it yet.

Cornerstone is another possibility but it's a long way from prime time and nobody seems to have successfully integrated it into a ROM in a useful way.

I suggest our best hope is that Google sees how much people want this and gets it into AOSP. I'm guessing, from their comments to CyanogenMod, that this is unlikely to happen any time soon.

It's a shame because it's the only reason I'm using a stock-based ROM on my Note 2 and one of the major reasons I bought it. It's unfortunate that I can't have it on my XTZ but there it is. I'd have gone for a Samsung tablet for this reason but Samsung's build quality and low-res tablet screens make me sad.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SWFlyerUK:
Was any reason given by Google for not allowing MultiWindow support in CyanogenMod?

Seems strange - it's almost like the ultimate multitasking ability for Android.
[Xperia Tablet Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morti:
They (by which I mean, one of the developers at Google) basically called it borderline forking and said it could break too many things. Sort of passively threatened that CM might lose Play Store privileges if they went with it.

Just wondering how to root this galaxy s3 from tracfone (run on android 4.1.2) from the specification its look like the s3 from sprint.

and how to get the msl / spc code for this phone (have been ask the tracfone cs so many time but they didnt give me)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pid1981:
if you can provide me the modem/radio i can help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] miryclay:
Ditto

I have the same exact phone and am wondering this myself. The details that I have on hand are:

Qualcomm 4g

Model: SCH-960L(GP)

Android Version 4.1.2

Baseband Version: S960LWYAMD6

Kernel Version: 3.0.31-1151419

se.infra@SEP-129 #1

SMP PREEMPT Fri Apr 19 13:43:50 KST 2013

Build Number: JZO54K.S960LWYAMD6

Hardware Version S960L.01

One thing about this particular model is that it is CDMA/LTE with the option to choose CDMA only. It also doesn't appear to have a place for a sim card (which is utterly ridiculous from a company that was enticing people to BYOP... LOL, especially knowing the huge markup on their phones.)

Forgive my noobishness, I'm very noob to this. I've rooted one particular model phone previously (Galaxy Proclaim | StraightTalk) for like 3 different people, and now am looking to root this particular model as well. I am willing to obtain any information you need, I just need someone to guide me through it. I won't be on StraightTalk for but a few more months anyways and I'll be switching over to sprint.

---------- Post added at 11:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:19 PM ----------

I also thought I'd add that I've tried multiple variations of processes trying to get the MSL from this phone.

I've tried through Android Terminal, using the APP sniffer: AlogCat, and tried dialing ##data# entering 000000 and then opening GetMyMSL a 2nd time after dialing and entering the incorrect password and got the same error message I received when I opened GetMyMSL the first time prior to dialing ##data#.

Of course I do know that most people want the MSL to unlock their phone, and I'm not sure how worth it, it would actually be to unlock a CDMA phone that doesn't have SIM card ability... I just had an S3 on Verizon that was unlocked with Sim Card ability that was briefly in my possession and it had GSM and CDMA support, but this model doesn't appear to have GSM unless it's locked up somewhere (but then why no Sim??)

Anyways just food for thought. I'm only really interested in Rooting so I can use CWM and Rom Toolbox to get JellyBeans on this phone. :)

I can't post links because I'm a forum noob so you'll have to put the link together on your own.

You download the script, then use sudo inside of Terminal either on Mac or Linux. Change the permissions by using CHMOD, and then execute the script. I can confirm that this in fact rooted my device which is the very model that I posted information about.

---------- Post added at 01:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:59 AM ----------

So now for my next question regarding this model. Now that it's rooted. What Roms can I safely use?

I know that the phone is TracFone owned and Operated under the guise of StraightTalk.

But I also know that this phone runs on Sprint Towers using CDMA/LTE

So will this phone safely use Sprint Roms from Clockwork? Or will it mess up the APN settings? :eek:

I mean it uses the Sprint towers anyways right? I'm too chicken to do it... lol

HI.

Are there any custom roms for N8020?

Why do seem to find all goodies for N8000 and N8010, however N8020 not much.

I know being the LTE, obviusly has a different radio, but what seems to be the hold up with compiling CM or Omega or any other of the big roms for the N8020?
