Anyone else notice when doing a search for images that they won't load as hi res and you can't link to them directly? It's a pain to have to do the searches through the browser. Is this a known bug on the S4?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rapidement:
Hi,

I could not find any guides and threads for the following question:

How can S4 users find out which Galaxy S4 Version they do own?

I live in germany and got the Galaxy S4 with a german "Telekom" branding

Does this make my Galaxy a "T-Mobile S4" or because it does not have any sim-lock, a "normal S4"???

Thx in advance!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
In the system settings there should be a section called "About phone". (Sorry I can't guide you to that section as the touchwiz menu is a little different than the aosp menu I'm using)

In the about phone section it should tell you the phone model number. It will be m919 or i9505 or something like that. It will not say "t mobile s4"

Post that here and I will tell you which one you have.

Sent from your phone. You should be careful where you leave that thing.

You do not have the T Mobile US version.

You have the international version. Its pretty much the same thing. But you do need to know which one you have when flashing stuff.

Running carbon nightlies, I had 4g LTE on the 6/18 release but once updated to the newer nightlies all am seeing on the status bar is H DC and 3G... is it possible to go from 4g LTE radios to the one listed above on after flashing nightlies?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] culua:
I been experiencing the problem after flashing cm10. I set it too lte/gsm/wcmd at home my DC is on when I'm traveling around town I lose data and I had to turn on off data. I know I have lte in my city but it can't seem to connect to it. I have to switch to back to 4g only. Any fix for is issue?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] culua:
Fix it by changing to new lte apn
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Aria807:
Mine was acting up too. I was using PAC 22.1. I recently swapped to Rootbox 4.1 (ATT) but using same TMO modem. It seems to lock on to 3G/DC now, which I was new to. Before I would only see 3G/H+, now I mostly see 3G/DC and hardly ever see H+. However when I drive around to areas where I usually pick up LTE, it seems to stick on to 3G/DC. I'd have to fiddle with the APN settings (I have the old epc.tmobile.com and fast.t-mobile.com APN) even though I'm already using the fast.t-mobile.com one. Locking onto LTE became horrible. Before, it would auto lock instantly when I'd pass through the area, and now it's got connectivity issues.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lethcore:
Hi long time lurker but i found it interesting.... that many people ***** moan or scream about rooting the I9502 just to get the google play store

if you guys try the Wo Store you can download the google play store apk from wo store on your I9502 device.... i've done it... no need to root

'if it ain't broke don't fix it'

Whats the problem with you guys needing to root this phone? while you can download it from Wo Store? lol OR HAVE I MISSED SOMETHING.....

Tried to post a screenshot but the paranoia here is amazing lol
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omid_freesky:
i find it interesting that you nobody replied to your ignorant post, you opened a thread to insult some people, that is what's interesting.

the google apps are integrated in the android, some things like contacts can be backed up and restored, and ALL the android apps with their final versions are available only in play store plus it's not in chinese.

go and feast your eyes how rooting helped many people to fix their problems, like caller ID.

besides, rooting is not just for google apps, you should learn what rooting does to your phone, and then talk about it.

IT SEEMS YOU MISSED A LOT. and to be honest i don't want to tell you more, because i may help you without noticing.

I do not get a delete icon or a trash can to delete photos.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] azjaffo:
I was confused by this at first too. When you first open the gallery, you'll see a bunch of pictures - but that is an album view. You need to click on the album and that'll take you in to another view. Once you are in that second view, click and hold on the picture you want to delete and it'll get a checkmark near it. When that happens, you'll see a trash icon at the top right.

Take a look at the screenshots I took to help illustrate:

This is a shot of when I first launch the gallery app

Next, I clicked on the "Camera" gallery

Finally, I clicked & held on the image (or video in this case) in the top right. when I did so, it put a checkmark, and you'll see the trash icon in the upper right (checkmark and trash both circled in red.)

I hope this is helpful.

I have been looking over the 24 pages in the Q&A about my problem and I feel I'm the only one with it, maybe I'm just blind:eek:. My Nook HD would just randomly shutdown when I'll start a Youtube video or just completely randomly which would just scare me because I don't expect it. At first it was the whole lock screen issue but now is this also, just wanted to know if anyone else has had this happen to them and if there is a fix. Thanks in advance.

On both my wife and my's phones, I was updating them just now and I noticed Flipboard updated. However, neither of us have ever installed Flipboard to begin with. I don't even know what it does. I'm sure this is happening to others, so could someone explain what I'm missing? Did Facebook buy them and push it to all devices? Did Google do this?

I should add that I've searched these forums and Google for an explanation and those haven't gotten me anywhere.

Hi

When I get a txt it use to show a box on the lock screen saying who it was but it has disapeard now and I just get a small envelope in the top corner but the option to turn it back on is allready ticked

I'm on jellybean standard mot rooted
[HTC Desire X] MihaiA7X:
Go to Settings>Security and make sure that under Lock Screen, Message notification preview is ticked (I attached a Screenshot to help you)
[HTC Desire X] factorydefault000:
That's ticked but its not working
[HTC Desire X] MihaiA7X:
I've seen your other post with no LED notification either...did you try to backup your user apps and give the phone a factory reset? Also before factory reset try booting in Safe Mode and see if the problems occur

For Safe Mode:

Hold power and when the menu pops up touch restart, when phone starts the restart procedure hold volume down key until your home screen appears. You will notice the Text "Safe mode" in the bottom left of the screen
[HTC Desire X] factorydefault000:
May try a factory reset but mabr its a bug of jellybean
[HTC Desire X] MihaiA7X:
Try Safe Mode first because it disables everything user related and only the System parts are active:D
[HTC Desire X] factorydefault000:
Couldnt get it into safe mode but got a screen that said sim lock and factory reset so i came out of that and when i restarted my phone the notification came back i restarted the dam thing countless amouts of times turning off all options restarting turning them on all sorts of patterns nothing but what ever i pressed or your magic thort controle over phones worked
[HTC Desire X] MihaiA7X:
Safe mode was by pressing Volume Up not down as I said. I'm tired so sorry.

But it seems that your notification is back so I am glad I could help
[HTC Desire X] factorydefault000:
im not geting a light when im charging but that box is back so im happy thanks for your time
[HTC Desire X] MihaiA7X:
Go to dialer keypad and type: *#*#3424#*#* follow the instructons and make a LED test frpm there. :)

That put my phone into self destruct mode i now have 10 seconds to get as far away from my phone as i can

The led test passed didnt know that thing was there thanks
[HTC Desire X] MihaiA7X:
:)):)):)) self destruct mode - never thought about that. Very funny :)):)):))
[HTC Desire X] factorydefault000:
That would be a feature worth having someone takes your phone you send it an email and BOOM
[HTC Desire X] MihaiA7X:
It wold be cool :) And i think it is possible to create a small app activated by SMS which would overload the phone causing the battery to overheat. :)):D
[HTC Desire X] factorydefault000:

It's not partitioned for "Samsung apps." So to speak. But you have to realize you have a boot and a recovery and a cache partition that aren't displayed in titanium backup. That's where the other 4 gigs are.

Thanks elesbb remember you from the exhibit days I believe
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] lalec:
The screenshot says Titanium Backup is keeping the backupfiles in your internal memory instead of the external sd card and those can use up a lot of space.

So I got my nexus 4 few days back and after enjoying it stock for a few days i finally decided to root it. after installing root explorer and checking the system golfer i came to know that 5 apps were disabled by default namely Earth, play magazines, sound recorder, wallet, Google ears.. dunno how to enable them? I live in India, maybe this is a country specific problem :/

Hi all!

I got an O2 XDA2 that hangs at the provider logo screen on start up. My problem is that i never seen this working before so i don't know any details about it. My question is if ther is any way to repair this device because i've read many posts but all the solutions i get did not work.

The device was sold in spain and the provider is amena.

Please help,

Thanks,

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] chiru:
Hi!

After many retries i've noticed that it was not hanged at the logo screen but it tooks about 30 min to boot! The problem was related to the GSM hardware. I could update both ROM and ext. ROM but no success with the radio rom. So the solution was ask the provider to repair/replace it (and they did for free :P).

Thanks a lot everybody
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Honestly for me personally, the stock MDL ROM with some tweaks/KT-SGS4 Kernel/mods is freakn smooooothh as heck! I see no need for a custom ROM... yet! So far I'm loving this phone and I've only had it for a day, can;t wait for that next update hopefully we get it soon to fix some stuff. Other than that, this thing is smooth as butter!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] durandetto:
I haven't even rooted mine yet and it's been over a week. I usually root the first day or two.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] icevapor:
I kinda agree... Except there are some cool root apps... And I wanted to uninstall a bunch of bloat apps.

That's why I went with team Sonic's freegs4.... It just like stock with some basic tweaks and some apps are uninstallable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mjs2011:
I will agree that this phone offers the best stock experience I've ever had. If you're a tweaker like me though, custom ROM's are a must. I hightly recommend Blu Kuban. AOSP ROM's are also quite enjoyable, especially with Halo.

Also, man I wish the Hyperdrive ROM that's out for the Verizon variant would make its way to us. That ROM looks amazing.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Son Rise:
Dont U Wanna Get Rid Of The Boatwear? And Have a Longer Last Battery? And More Faster Phone? Thats All In Root And Roms My Friend:)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AxAtAx:
You think you got something smooth, run a custom rom with the tweaks, you will not go stock again. It is up you. You can always go back to stock, run WanamLite, Basically stock with the tweaks, super fast, and just as stable. Sorry, but you are missing out.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Son Rise:
WanamLite Rom? For Sprint S4? Where Is That at?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] mjs2011:
It's not a Sprint rom. It's am international rom. I'm guessing he used the app trick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] daniel4653:
Yeah stock on the phone lagged pretty bad. Team sonics ROM fixed that up :).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Delakit:
You're all fricken crazy. Lol. Why run a custom ROM? Get rid of bloatware, get rid of a lot of lag, use custom PRL's when Sprint's amazing service does what it does, enhance the experience, increase the terrible battery life, install AOSP, etc... But that's just me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JoeFCaputo113:
YOU'RE the crazy one IMO!! Why run an AOSP ROM and get rid of all the features that make the S4.... the S4 lol.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Fuzzy Wuzzy:
Lol, some of us bought it for the hardware - I think the whole eye watching thing is gimmick, and the pedometer is consistently off. AOSP really delivers in terms of speed and customization, which many desire. Speed + Customization > Gimmicks.

I'd also like to add that I'm still running stock so....:o
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cas8180:
+1 stock. I like gimmicks ;)

Every person commenting in this thread I think is why we all belong to XDA Developers. Do what you will with your device and enjoy it, we have many options available to us, thanks to all the great developers here. It personally took me a month to root my phone. And right now I can't really imagine having a AOSP ROM on it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] troyboytn:
Absolutely no ASOP for me and definitely no CM but that's just me. If I were buying strictly for the hardware, I might very well have gone a different route. I bought for the hardware and the software.

Also Can i install custom Roms after i get my SG4 flashed to criket without messing up the flash.

once im flashed and running on criket i am too scared to mess it up

please let me know hwat i should do. i can't even find someone that can flash it yet. its very hard

im very sad i love this phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] daniel4653:
Cm/aosp is always smoother since there is no bloat, compare 1.5GB for stock rooted to 300mbs for an aosp based ROM. But the features are gone. And the camera isn't as good.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oscarthegrouch:
Yeah. Install an ad blocker, remove or freeze bloat, and maybe get a custom recovery and kernel if you're lucky. That's what I want. Oh, and hotspot mod is always great!

---------- Post added at 05:09 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:06 AM ----------

Unfortunately, sometimes some hardware drivers are proprietary and asop doesn't support it so you lose out with some things.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Delakit:
No! Incorrect! Lol. Just playin'. A lot of these features are bogus and didn't have a deciding factor in my purchase of this device. The stay awake only works for me when the device is right in front of my face now. That was the only feature I thought to be kind of cool. Otherwise the camera features are pretty sick. Complete hardware decision from there.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] miketucky350:
Root at the very least. This phone lags and runs pretty poor stock. After tweaks I have no lags which is not possible un rooted. +1 to those who say most of the features are bogus I agree and shut them off!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] xxxicu812:
No need for a custom ROM to do all this

I can do all this just by being rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] miketucky350:
There is nothing wrong with a touch wiz based ROM. It still has all the features and more. Tw based is stock without all of Samsungs crap. Lags ect. On my previous 2 phones galaxy & s2 the phones stock was unbearable.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] AxAtAx:
What app trick..I flashed the rom..flashed my kernel..plugged in the apn att settings...I was running. Did I miss a trick?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] oscarthegrouch:
As for my wish list, I am looking forward to the international update coming down to us. Looking forward to HDR video recording and lag fixes. Also wish for dedicated macro mode. Most pictures I take in auto mode, that I intend to be macro, are out of focus.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rawintellect:
Personally I run stock. With a TON of mods. I debloated it myself. I also use Ktoonsez's Kernel with crossbreeder for the frandom support. I have ZERO lag. Custom ROMs are cool and all. However I think with all the mods currently available like Nottach Xposed and the 4x5 TouchWiz Launcher - 5x6 App Drawer - 3x4 Widget Screen mod (both of which I use) there's not much that a custom ROM can offer that I can't do myself.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] royshero:
I always keep it stock for a few days before root. I thought the phone ran fine now with clark44s rom and some mods. My note 2 can suck it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tenaciousj:
I agree. I rooted mine just for the sake of removing some bloat but that is all I have done to it so far. I am disappointed that the eye tracking stuff doesn't work for me. I like to read a lot of news and what not on my phone and it would be one of the S4 features I would really use. I might installed a custom kernel with recovery later just so I can make backups of my rom but don't see myself needing to install a custom rom anytime soon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Just curious as to how you removed the bloatware? I don't wanna have to buy an app just to remove/freeze bloatware!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rawintellect:
TiBu! :) It's free and uninstalls system apps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] JoeFCaputo113:
Isn't that in the pro version only though?
