Volume buttons do the zooming.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
Pinch to Zoom also works in camera...place your finger and thumb on the screen while in the camera, and pull them apart or squeeze them together to zoom in or out.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] n0_face:
Here is how you change what the volume rocker does while the camera application is on:

While in the Camera App

Click on the 'Settings' Gear > Click on the 'Settings' gear again

A new window will pop-up with 3 tabs at the top. Click on the gear and from there, you can edit what your volume rocker does. Zoom In/Out, Take Photo, Take Video.

The tab was ser for zoom for the volume rocker.....didnt zoom...let me reboot

Is there anyway possible to either open up the XDA and change out the SD slot or some kind of other modification to change it to work as an SD I/O I would do anything to make this work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Bonzo:
Probably possible..

It would probably require:

1. Enough technical insight to produce your own customized device from scratch.

2. A new customized motherboard and reconstructing the bus structure of the whole motherboard

3. Enough money to buy at least 50 XDA IIs units..

4. Building your own customized ROM for the XDA with SD I/O support.

5. Plenty of time

So, as you see; it is possible.

Is it doable? No..
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Rudegar:
difference between sd interface of

xda1 and 2 is

with xda1 they have an extre chip to control the sd interface

with xda2 it's nativ in the cpu xcale series

so it would require an sd interface chip which was 100% the same size

and 100% the same "leg" connetors

and thats just the hardware

then you had to get all the drivers for the SDIO running

and hoping that not too many of them was locked in the rom

the time and the skills

and the chargning one self for using that much spare time

would be better spend on just about everything else

workwise to buy a new pda which had SDIO

just my 2 cents
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] dcantato:
on that note, anyone have an old xda 2? or anything close with and sdio slot that they'd trade or sell?
[HD2 General] PupiPupsi:
Hi!

I don't know if this is a right forum but I run into a problem that I can't solve. I had some Android NAND version that stoped to work after a SD card was formated (silly but true). It loaded almost fully but it didn't show any icons and nothing was functional. Even wasn't recognised on PC in bootloader mode. So I decided to go back to stock ROM via SD card. And then it went to 9% and error occured. I tryed to flash again but it goes just to "Loading..." screen and nothing happens.

The worst thing is that HD2 is still unrecognized by PC via USB so I can't do anything via USB. The USB port on HD2 is OK, it was working with HTC Sync on Android ROM, tryed 2 differnet SD cards (FAT32), Windows XP and WIndows 7, HTC Sync, MS mobile device center and Activesync and no luck. Any ide what to do, at least what driver should I use?

All the answers I found include a step with USB flashing and I can't do it...
[HD2 General] gilbert32:
ok. reinstall windows mobile device center (win 7, vista) or activesync (xp)

open it, connection settings, uncheck allow usb connections and try again. also make sure that you aren't using a usb hub. try other usd ports.

wait a bit. phone drivers should be installed and serial should turn to usb (if drivers installation fails or if this doesnt work, open device manager, and delete the qualcomm usb driver or windows ce (don't remember which one it is in bootloader mode), unplug and let it install it again)

after installation of usb driver succeeds, you should see usb at the bottom of the screen. after that point you can try reflashing official roms
[HD2 General] PupiPupsi:
Thank you for your help. I solved my problem and saved my HD2 :)

I was using original USB cable that came with HD2. Then I switched it with USB cable that came with my Evo 3D and that cable is thicker than original HD2. At first attempt HD2 was recognized and after all a driver (Qualcom USB) was installed so I flashed all the way to WP 7.8.

O, what a joy, I tought that I ended with bricked HD2, and now I have WP 7.8 device :))))

Hi,

I just rooted my tmo s4 on my mac using the motochopper. The phone keeps annoying me to update to the UVM update. Is it safe to update to this after rooting, or will i lost the root? Also, how can i disable this update notification? it keeps popping up on my screen
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:
It won't let you update if you're rooted. You can delay the update message at least for a while by saying "remind me in 30 Days" or something similar.

I'd be tempted to flash a custom rom. Then the message would already be blocked
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Misterjunky:
re: update notifications

The best way to eliminate the update notification is to flash the best custom rom you can find.

Once you have done that there will be no more notifications about updating the firmware and

you will be able to enjoy all the benefits of having and using a custom rom.

The best & most professional custom rom currently available is the Wicked v3 MDL Samsung Touchwiz 4.2.2 based custom rom.

Hey guys,

I am planning to get a case for my S4. I personally prefer slim case that doesn't make my phone look too bulky. I am considering the Ultra Capsule and the ultra think air. Has anyone used any of these two cases? I can't find any picture of the ultra capsule.

Thanks,
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] high kick:
while i can't comment about the ultra capsule, i have two of the ultra thin air (well, one is the ultra fit, but it's technically just a matte version of the ultra thin air). i think it's a great case because it doesn't add hardly any bulk or weight. i can take a picture of it if you'd like. i have the tango orange and the white. let me me know.

the negatives (not for me, but for others) are that the top and bottom are uncovered (the corners are though); the side buttons are a little hard to press at first; and some screen protectors will get lifted on the sides (this is same with the ultra capsule i believe) because of the lip.

here are videos of the thin air:

The Spigen Ultra Fit looks pretty identical to the cheaper Ringke Slim that I'm using.

I have this Elago Slim Fit. Almost feels like its part of the phone. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHySRZkjJE0&feature=youtube_gdata_player
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jax5ter:
yup and i love this one! i was using a neo hybrid and i didnt like the fact that my phone looked like a piece of brick, after putting on this ringke it felt perfect in the hands is exactly what i was looking for
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jcboy:
Hi High Kick.

What color of phone are you using? I would appreciate if you can post the picture of the white color case. Thanks a lot!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] high kick:
i have the white S4. i've had black smartphones this whole time, so i thought i'd get a white one instead. however, i'm finding that white phones are harder to buy cases for.

one thing to note about the ultra fit is that it's A LOT more slippery than the ultra thin air. i was expecting the matte to be kind of softly rubbery and grippy, like what i'm used to matte being, but it feels like i'm holding a bar of wet soap. the ultra fit is $9.99, but i would recommend paying more for the ultra thin air.

i have the ringke slim also, and normally i would recommend the ringke slim over spigen based on price (and the fact that it's practically the same case). but i've found that the ringke slim cases are almost impossible to remove (at least for me).

p.s. the paper underneath my phone in the pictures is the return label for the spigen neo hybrid. i just couldn't stand how wide it made my phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jcboy:
Thank you very much for your suggestion and picture. I am also using a white S4 and I really like the phone. I think I will either go with ultra thin air or just don't use a case at all to keep the original beauty.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] skia11:
The ultra capsule is one of the worst designed cases I have ever purchased.

The fit its loose and the material feels like a China cheap case.

On the other hand everything I purchased from poetic has me totally won over with their quality and price.

I have 3 palette cases one atmosphere and I just ordered the revolution for when I am at the building site of my home.

On a side note the neo hybrid oozes quality.

And yes I am a case junkie.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] high kick:
although i said the ultra fit is very, very slippery, one might wonder why i'm not returning/exchanging it for the ultra thin air (which i said had a better grip). well, the ultra thin air, with its matte finish, just LOOKS SO much better than the glossy finish of the ultra thin air. i've been staring at the matte and the glossy side-by-side for a few minutes, and the matte is so much better looking. so, basically i'm going for looks over security. i just wanted to add that in my "review" as it might help you decide which one to purchase. also, keep in mind that the ultra thin air comes with more stuff; the ultra thin air is just the case. i hope that helps some more.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jcboy:
Thanks for the info. I guess the picture that you took is the matte. How's the feel of the grid compare to the original phone (without case)? The only reason that I want the case is to protect the edge of the phone as well as the camera lens since the lens stick out a little bit.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] high kick:
i think the grip with the matte ultra fit on is more slippery.

check out this review (it's the review that convinced me to buy the ultra fit):

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jcboy:
Thanks. Does ultra fit or thin air make the side button harder to press? Does it decrease the speaker volume?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jcboy:
Does the white colour of the ultra slim look close to the phone? Or does it give you a rubber white feeling? I am thinking whether the white colour of ultra thin air will look closer to the phone since they are both glossy.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] trannhattan:
I bought Ultra Fit last month and could only used it for 2 days. I was squatting and the phone slipped out from my pocket to the concrete floor. A corner of the case is broken. The front screen frame is sunken. Checked with Samsung, they said that frame must be replaced along with the screen.

The case looks gods and is very light. But you have to give up the safety of your phone. Your choice :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] j_r0dd:
I bought the ultra thin air and it sucks. You can barely press the power and volume buttons. Not worth $25. I never use cases but thought this one would be minimal. I was wrong.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] high kick:
the ultra fit is only $9.99. it's more slippery, but it looks better in my opinion. i don't have any problems getting to any of the side buttons, but i think i'm used to it since i've been using cases like this (ringke slim) since my last phone.

The closest I got wsa someone who said "Find EL29 One Click from Sfhub and apply it. Then do ##786# and perform a factory reset from here as this will clear the NVRAM data. This should clear the NVRAM data and force a hands-free activation on Sprint during the next boot and solve the problem."

Will that work?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
With regards to aosp roms, the i9500 is doomed, my friend. Doomed. Anyone compiling aosp for i9500 is wasting their time because exynos 5410 is even worse than 44xx.

So the joke's on you for not buying the qcomm version.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omga4000:
I don't see the joke here..

In what way is it my fault I live in Europe

and Samsung decided to market the OCTA version here?

Anyway - yesterday Samsung began releasing the open source code

for the i9500, so future may be brighter than you think :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theshawty:
I live in Europe as well but luckily they chose to market the LTE variant here. You could have imported an i9505, though.

Look, what they release on arndale has nothing to do with what they have in their phones. If I'm wrong on that, I'd request an insight from [MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION] because he knows a lot about this stuff.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omga4000:
I would like a better insight as well.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
Remember, this is a stock Android UI - so far, nothing more (such as AOSP support) has been announced, and I suspect it's unlikely. So it actually will be of zero benefit for AOSP bringups like CM.

As far as porting it just like porting a TW firmware between Qcom devices? Maybe, I don't know how successful people have been in doing such a thing. (e.g. if they've got it as automated as I did with Hellraiser on the I777).

Since I9500 is Exynos, the Google Edition is of zero use for that device.

As I said long ago when the Google Edition was first announced:

If it's not AOSP supported, it basically means nothing

If it's AOSP supported and qcom, it's nice but not a huge benefit since CAF is already quite good

If it's AOSP supported and Exynos, that's a game changer and would be what would cause me to consider Samsung again. But we know for certain it's not Exynos, and it's highly unlikely it'll be AOSP supported - Samsung's underlying base software is too Samsunged (hacked up) in the non-GE GS4s for them to have AOSP support any time soon. The Google Edition is just covering up their crappy underlying software with a less sucky UI as far as I can tell. We'll know for sure when the device is released.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Psykologikal:
They won't be able to include Samsung drivers into the device. If you use a non stock rom now watch on won't work because it doesn't know where to find the infrared.

I hope that Google does it right and gets the sensors to work but at this point it doesn't seem like they will. Maybe Samsung will release the drivers someday
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Omga4000:
Seriously starting to doubt it.

I'm actually thinking of selling my device and getting the snapdragon variant.

I heard there's going to be a version with the snapdragon 800 + LTE

so I might wait for that and replace my phone.

So sad :(

Feedback coming soon.. :D :beer:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eza azami:
Here's my battery screen shot (daily use with activate data connection)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
This is really heavy usage, so I´m not sure it will make a lot of difference even if you are undervolting. Most of time your screen is on and so the phone kept awake but it´s the backlight that is draining most.

It´s just there is no tweak for the backlight LEDs to make them consume less exept reducing the brightness, so may I ask if you feel any difference even under such a heavy usage?

I doubt that as the kernel is tweaked for Deepsleep / Standby but will of course consume as much as other kernels under full load.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] eza azami:
Ok., let me say that I have use another kernel before with same time testing (about 3 hours and 30 minutes) and my battery drain so fast.

Honestly this kernel is good for battery saver because I have problem with my battery health.. :D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] Dwama:
this kernel compatible with cm9 rc2 or rc 3?

or use the EOL version one ?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
It´s kernel 3.0.x so more likely for the EOL and as the title says it´s for CM9 final.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fivezall:

It would be nice if people also read what the topic starter has posted.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] fivezall:
GPS not working well or totally not working on this kernel.. please fix. TQ :o
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
For me it´s working well and I didn´t do any changes to it, so everything is like in the stock 3.0.82 kernel regarding this. It´s just you have to wait up to 15 minutes after activating GPS the first time after changing kernels to get a GPS fix.

I of course tested GPS before launching this kernel. It took me a while to get the first GPS fix but after this it´s now fixing immediately. However If you are using Greenify and are hybernating your Google Services, this could be the reason for not being able to get a fix.

Btw, this has been already discussed in the CM9 bug report thread. There are also some solutions to get it working.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1598056&highlight=gps&page=299

But I also suggest to not to hybernate Google Services in Greenify as some apps require it to get a GPS fix. Once the Google Services got greenyfied those apps can´t get a GPS fix, even if you restart Google Services. So in this case remove Google Services from the list in Greenify and restart your device.

Thanks for the great kernel, I personally haven't noticed much of a difference on standby with wifi on, but there is quite a difference when you're using the device, thanks again! :good:
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Thanks for the feedback. Well about WiFi this is another story. While testing the consumption with WiFi on I honestly couldn´t see any difference between running WiFi at stock voltage or by undervolting it the way all the kernel modders are doing it.

It looked to me like this tweak isn´t lowering the consumption like it expected to be. Therefore I applied some more tweaks you can´t find in the Commits to lower the consumption while WiFi is enabled. The difference is not huge, but now it indeed consumes a little bit less. Beside this my tweak is a dynamic one and depending on the signal strenght.
