Sadly yes. I think the reason it I couldn't get it is cause I have that $30 a month prepaid plan and I guess they can't sell em to people on prepaid for some weird reason? I may try other stores tomorrow.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Oh. Yeah the 579 clearly only applies with the sign up or continuation of a qualifying plan.

The prepaid plans are not qualifying. So the rule is not that you have to get a more expensive plan to get the deal, but the qualifying plans are all more expensive than your current one.

Got mine for $128 no problem with $20 x 24 months
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] sortofsleepy:
Drat! heh. I normally wouldn't mind swapping plans but given the price and the fact I mostly use data, and very rarely use it as a phone, I'm kinda kneen on keeping my plan.

They said they could swap me back to my current plan after the month is up but I'm a bit wary of that idea since it was kinda troublesome to get it in the first place.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Or just okay the $629 full price at the store. Spend the extra $50 on the device and keep your insanely low rate plan.

Can anyone confirm for certain that the tmo version will be able to use the Nexus edition roms immediately? I don't see where there would be a problem, just want to confirm.

I would love to buy a sgs4 but I would also like to use the latest Android right away. Currently on my nexus devices, I can flash something the day it comes out. Likely that will be the same for the sgs4 Google edition, which makes sense it would translate over to the tmo version as well. So in theory, you could flash within a day or so of the sgs4 version coming out. Thoughts?

Also, has anyone confirmed they will release the source as well?

It sounds like best case scenario, I could run my sgs4 either touchwiz or aosp bug free. With prompt Google releases

Why would anyone buy the Google edition one then? Clearly you can get it cheaper elsewhere with the same functionality

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Immediately? No. But I would bet heavily that the updates will be available here on xda within a day or two of the ota pushes.

Hi Folks

I have a stock HOX, over the last month or two sense has been getting veeerrrryy sloooow, so slow that when flipping between home screens I actually have to stop and wait as the screens judder across. This usually happens when I start using the phone after not haveing interacted with it for an hour or two or when it has just been turned on if it was off for some reason...

Most of the slowness goes after a couple of minutes, except for on the home button, most of the time I press it and nothing hapens so I press again and again, then all of a sudden all the home presses act at once at the screens start flipping around like crazy!

Also if the phone is on charge and screen is off I usually have to press the power button several times before the screen will trn on again...

Another issue that seems to also be cropping up is, especially while on charge, the phone will jsut turn itself off! Sometimes itwill restart again by itself, sometimes it doesnt!

Anyone have any solution to get my phone back in good health?

My apologies. Your options are to factory reset or RUU, if neither of those work, It's a hardware issue.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] slimslim:
Factory reset. I would also try another launcher to see if it behaves the same. I (still) have problems with sense being choppy but ONLY when I use the Yahoo mail official app, for some reason slows down the system considerably. I stopped using it all together and use the stock sense mail app and everything is going well now. You might have a rogue app, so i would try a reset.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] funbulton:
Recently my phone had been very laggy and the cpu has been heating up during very easy tasks such as browsing the web or playing a game like angry birds, sometimes to the point where the phone would shut down. Many processes are slow such as opening apps or using the internet and sometimes even scrolling through my home screens can be glitchy. I am currently running Jedi mind trick JB 5 and sometimes I overclock the CPU. Does anyone know what is going on and how I can fix this problem?

Personally I like aosp better....but.....too many glitches and issues popping up all the time, so I usually run 4.1.2 roms based off stock, but with extra goodies. I don't change kernels anymore for the same reasons. Guess I prefer stable over performance and extra settings. ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] soupysoup:
Honestly I just don't like the ui, there are generally more bugs in asop, as its usually based off the newest leaks, like all nexus devices, there more open to bug because Google updates them superfast, as far as bloat and things in twiz, that's an easy fix, I think if u take two roms one twiz one asop, debloat both, and run them side by side the only real difference is the ui, twiz may be a tiny bit slower, but I can live with that, plus I'm a Sammy guy, won't buy any other device lol, there are some asop roms I like though, both are amazing, and far ahead of iOS and sense, all cones down to preference I guess

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] cesardrgn:
I was watching the video and following all the steps here "How to Get Free Native Wifi Hotspot on the Sprint Samsung Galaxy S4"

I did the root just like showed on the previews video. got root access and all. that was perfect. but my problem was with the Hotspot video. is a mistake that I made on my part. I downloaded both of the .JAR and .ODEX files into my phone. Got "Rom Toolbox" just like he said, now this is the part of my problem. both of those two files downloaded I have to paste into the "System/Framework" folder. just like in the video, he said to rename both of the original files with a ".BAK" extension just in case. well, the first file that I renamed was by mistake the one just over the first one. "secocsp.odex" so now that file has a .BAK extension. this is my first time using that problem and I did see my mistake the second the file was renamed. i was going to remove the .bak after renaming the two right files "services.jar and .odex" the second i was done adding the back up extensions i forgot to rename the first file back and now my phone won't boot up. is stucked on the yellow sprint booth up page and the blue led solid on :crying:

how can i go back and rename that first file back and get my phone to work again???

thanks for all your help guys!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] CCallahan:
I'm not sure what all you have done but can you get into recovery currently? If so, should be able to do a full wipe and flash a rom (either stock or custom) or restore a backup.

If you cannot get into recovery I would just Odin back to factory stock and start over from scratch. Use this thread for reference: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2277480

Also, if you are going to be flashing mods should always have a nandroid handy just in case things like this happen.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] rawr703:
I've the S4 for a little over a week, but it's been a rather busy week so I haven't given it my full attention as yet. I really like it so far, I haven't gotten all the bells and whistles to work and I'm testing battery life with them disabled vs enabled etc. But I'm not really doing much else with it yet.

The only actual issue I'm having is receiving phone calls. When someone calls me, it takes a couple rings on their end before my phone starts ringing (I've encountered this with Sprint before though) but then when I try to answer the call, I don't get the person on the other end. I get a recorded message telling me I've got an incoming call from (name of caller in my contacts list) and if I want to accept to press 1 now. The message takes so long to get to that point that by the time it tells me to press 1 to accept the call, the call goes into voicemail.

I don't receive a lot of phone calls, but I would like to be able to actually answer them when I do. As of now when someone does call me I have to call them back.

This message plays AFTER I've 'accepted' the call on the screen and it plays through the handset not the speakers. I have Google voice set up for my voicemail.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

1) download the rom on your PC when download plug your phone into USB then select mount to copy files. Then drag & drop the from to the root of the sdcard ( not in any folders.

Did you install custom recovery before? Were you able to go to recovery in bootloader?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Steam.:
you need to put the rom zip on your card, when you open the card on your computer, just paste it in as you open it in your file explorer or whatever.Then fastboot flash recovery recovery1.img, wipe data/factory reset, flash the zip from install zip from sdcard option, go upwards so you reach the bottom faster, and select your zip.Flash it, reboot, then continue with the guide.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audit13:

The stock battery life on our phone is pretty decent. But I wonder what kind of extended slim battery options we have for our phone specifially....

Great mod Nard. The S3 battery is very common and I think all aftermarket extended slim batteries for the S3 should work as well. As long as you don't have a problem ghetto rigging it, we can get a lot more juice for out phones. And it retains NFC. Massive plus

I have one S3 battery, though from KINPS with 3250mAh that I got last time, which is 5mm thick (1mm more than ours) and should be allegedly same size to the S3 stock one.

But I am not able to close the back cover when I want to use it according to your instruction. that 1mm is definitely too thick and does not let me close it.

would you please confirm that yours is 5mm also or is it less than that?

if the prior, how did you manage to close the back cover?

if the latter, i would go buy a S3 stock battery.
