[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] GiantJay:
I have owned the S2, Galaxy Nexus, S3 and now the S4. I bought the S4 off contract after trading in my S3 to Best Buy for $262.50, I paid $385 out of pocket. The main reason why I love the S4 is the hardware. The battery is phenomenal, the screen is beautiful and it's light and looks better. Also better antennas etc. Not to mention it's a beast on the inside so I know whatever new apps or whatever Android 5.0 brings this phone will handle no problem. It's got a whole year of innovation and technological advances behind it. Idk, I would just wait a little bit and you will see the S4 for $150 sometime soon.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LAYGO:
Think about it like this. App developers are developing to support faster hardware. Who knows what you're favorite app will be in a year & if the S3 will support it?

The S4 is packed with more goodies in nearly the same size container as the S3, including larger screen, processor, battery, and RAM.

The S4 is entirely worth it. I was the first in my office to get one, now 3-4 others have it after seeing it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Stealyourface:
That depends on where you sell it and your area. Condition it's in etc. No resale value is ever set in stone.

It's $150 at bestbuy. You think your current phone is slow? Add 1GB of ram to it and you have an s3. Then think two more years down the road. It would be better to get the S4 yes. But is it better for the money? That is a question only you can answer for yourself since its your money.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Inline:
I got the S4 at release date, and I definitely go with the S4. You'll definitely get your money back with the S4, I sold my S3 on Craigslist for 315 cash the day after the S4 came out and actually made money with my upgrade.

If you get the S3, it'll hardly be worth anything with a resale as it'll be two gens behind when you try to sell it one or two year in the future. Plus you'll have a much much easier time selling the S4 then you will the S3 then. I can honestly say the S4 is a huge upgrade, it's just simply better in every category even if it's not visibly evident.

I know that we can map the volume keys as shutter, but I was hoping there was a mod available to map it to the power button. So power button as shutter, with volume keys as zoom in and out. Im pretty sure its possible, its mentioned here in the T-Mobile S4 thread as a feature for a rom. Thanks in advance.

I currently have a Samsung galaxy S4 AT&T model SGH-I337 that is rooted with custom recovery and I have a custom ROM on my device. I am trying to get back to factory settings and install the stock touchwiz ROM that came on my device from out of the box. All the instructions I have found are through Odin however I have a Mac so I cannot run Odin so does anybody else have any other solution they could walk me through. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Scrufdog:
So I'm not exactly sure when this happened. Last week I S-Off'd with revone and flashed a custom hboot with the RegawMOD customizer, and now when I boot into bootloader/fastboot mode, the word Fastboot is basically a smear until I hit one of the volume keys to move the highlighted menu around, then it appears normally. Everything functions properly, however, its somewhat of a sign that the phone has been modded, even though my custom hboot hides the S-Off, Unlocked and red developement text.

Anyone else see this on their phone? If so, anyone know whats up?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Xerodark:
I'm not sure if it's an hboot modification problem. It started happening to me basically right after I started flashing roms. It hasn't really been a problem, so I never really thought to bring it up. It also fixes itself when I run any fastboot command. Would be nice to know if something is messed up that is causing it, though.

Strange, what i observe here in xda, many people like it. Well I guess 'many' really subjective matter :D

Anyway, if you haven't added it, you shouldn't put that option in dev menu. :).

Other than that, i like ur rom, it's simple, not fill with bunch of feature that i don't use :)

I installed several apps none of them were installed (only one app got installed,idk why only one)

P.S. Was using RUSH kernel

is anyone else facing the same problem?
[Xperia Arc Android Development] visarya:
correction , apps are fixed .. only camera is inverted now
[Xperia Arc Android Development] muzadull:
Seems like a problem with camera lib.I think it's because the .13 rom is for Xperia Ray.

Try Cybershot Camera by Rizal lovins (Version 6.7.2 is the best IMO).

My problem is that whenever I restart or turn on my device (gt-s5360), JellyBlast rom would eat up my data (15 I think).

I don't have any paid apps installed and mobile connection is OFF.

Hey im currently on Project x...And i guess this question is directed to Godly..Which Comadose tweak could be recommended for this rom, looking for best battery and perfomance??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jdsingle76:
I would run his latest....it has all his updated tweaks, mods, etc...and it's awesome:)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] btoddweber:
I did some reading and saw in the comadose op that while all the tweaks are good to go I think that some are geared towards certain kernels...

IE..Garwyns 5.0 with Comadose 1.4 with Crossbreeder

And Agats 1.3 or 1.4 with Comadose 1.5 with Crossbreeder

Also in my experience the gov and scheduler do make a difference based on the tweak pack as well.

I use Garwyns 5.0 kernel and was recommended to use Pegasusq with Noop and 1.4 comadose and set the CPU to 200 low end and 1000 on the top end.

And to change my animation in Dev options to .5 from 1.0.

Seems to be pretty nice..for what its worth
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dougthemug:
decided to go with Comadose 1.4 with crossbreeder -w- Agats 1.3 also Pegasusq with Noop lets see if this is the goods...

I want to S-OFF my ATT HTC One, I have tried the Revone method , no luck, tried the Moonshine method and still no luck. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. Has anyone posted an in depth step by step for a noobie that is not really a noobie? I have followed both the posts and the instructions there, but just can't get either to work, I am missing something. I S-OFF'd the HTC One X with no problems using that method in the HTC One X forum, but this one has got to me.

For some reason I can't figure out the Revone method either.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Matt Hero:
Hi,

picked up a shiny new MDA III yesterday afternoon having switched providers - number transfer in progress - so I'm new to both the handset and the provider.

Managed to get the unit hooked up to my home WiFi network pertty simply etc and got the Active Sync sorted etc.... other than the fact the GRPS isn't configured out of the box, I've got a single major bugbear to sort.

That is that I don't seem to be able to get MSN Messenger to connect.

It's exhibiting exactly the same symptoms suggested here.... http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;832515

... but obviously the refers to a previous OS version ?

So, either I have something to fix or unlock in the set-up, the port is blocked on the handset (works fine on my laptop on the same WiFi through the same firewall) ?

Had a search through the forums, but to no avail. Can anyone help me on this ?

Are there any recommended patches/fixes I should have installed straight from the off ?

Thanks in advance !

Matt
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Matt Hero:
OK, just so you you don't think I'm totally clueless, from what I've just been reading in the T-Mobile online manual, I have to have the GPRS connection open to connect to Messenger.

Is this right ? Surely if I have a active WiFi connection is should be able to connect using that, right ? Will it connect via GPRS and then pass it over to WiFi ?

I'll have to check it when I get home to see if I can resolve it in that way.

Any other tips gratefully received !

Matt
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] :
I'm using Messenger with a CSD (GSM) connection because it's part of my allowance. Sorry but I haven't tried WiFi yet.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] :
I'm having the same problem.

MSN Messenger works fine using GPRS but fails to login using my Wifi connection.

What's even weirder is that it works ok when docked (ActiveSync)!!!

I'm using MDA III on T-Mobile (UK)

Anyone got any ideas?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] TheMadScot:
I've tried replicating this issue, but on my XDA IIs over WiFi, it connects to messenger no problem... it doesn't even try to initiate a GPRS connection first. I can only assume that the MDA III is configured slightly differently out of the box.

As a thought, you might want to double-check Connection Manager and see which type of connection is set for programs that automatically connect to the internet
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Matt Hero:
Ok, home and finished doing the set-up.

I've found no way of using MSN by any other protocol than GPRS. If you are WiFi atached and attempt to use MSN, then it will drop the WiFi connection and instead pick up GPRS. And obviously you're on for .075p per kb... which might be the real answer in why T-Mobile have set-up the device in this way.

The 'programs that automatically connect to the internet' doesn't seem to allow you to select WiFi as the default connection, only the range of GSM/GPRS options and the 'My Work' one.

Should I use the 'My Work' VPN option and set that up to use WiFi ?

If anyonebody has got any tips on how to set or hack this... seems there are a few of us that might benefit !
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] TheMadScot:
Just out of curiosity: if you go into your WiFi manager, have you specifically told the device that the WiFi card in your MDA III connects you to "The Internet"?

I can't recall whether that was the default setting before I set up my wireless network connection on my IIs... it seems like such a no-brainer, but it could assume that your WiFi connection is to a work network etc.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Matt Hero:
I'm at work and it 's at home.... but I'm adamant that that it knows that the WiFi connection connects to the Intanet. As you say, I think that it is the default setting

However, I will check !

Any other MDA III owners shed any light on this ?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Deivid_:
Hi, last night I tried to install some of the bootloader-locked friendly MIUI roms but both of them failed, and so did another one I tried (can't remember which one was it)

I followed the steps every time, and even tried to flash the same images a couple of times in case something was off.

Flashed to 2.3

Rooted

Preserved root for 4.0

Flashed to 4.0

Restored Root

Installed CWM

Recovery Reboot

Wipe (system/data, cache, dalvik cache), formatted /system

installed zip from sdcard

And every single time, the phone kept bootlooping for over half an hour before I pulled the battery.

The thing is AROMA Installer says that the rom is for SK17i not sk17A, could that be it?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Mini, Mini Pro, Xperia Pro, A] Someguyfromhell:
Don't format /system, if you do not use custom kernel. That is causing the bootloop there, because recovery deletes itself and cannot complete the process fully.

simple. unlock your bootloader. ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NicoCaldo:
Very simple question. You advise me to use as Nova launcher or the stock.

I tried the free version of nova and it seemed really smooth so I was willing to buy the prime version.

Now it is better in terms of consumption and fluidity than stock?

I already know that it is much more customizable than STOCK but I was aiming to fluidity, speed and fuel consumption.

What do you say?

same answer as JJ, test them and decide for yourself, anyone got different needs.

on my side for instance, I use Apex Pro.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alvaren:
Nova is smoother and faster than touchwiz. In Nova can change a lot of things and it needs less amount of ram. Personally i am using nova.

My opinion is i would use either .

Fuel Consumption if you mean battery not a clue i use i charge .

jje
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lioxo:
Like the others said, you should test for yourself.

I use Apex Launcher, because of the many customization possibilities and the vanilla look. Nova is basically the same, so I would advise you the Nova Launcher.

I didn't use stock launcher since Android 4.0.4, but it was awful. And it looks way too big and has way to few customization options (I think you're talking of the stock launcher of touchwiz, aren't you?)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tsukot:
Nova and apex are much the same except for some features. I am an apex pro lover but when i tried nova prime, much smoother and more customizations. Stock is history.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krs360:
Notice how both these answers are completely subjective, with no facts to back them up. That is why this sort of questions get shot down on this forum - everyone is different and has different needs.

As the others mention, try them both for yourself and make your own decision - the beauty of Android is this freedom. If you don't like it, change it! :good:
