Got it loaded. ..Thanks guys...I've never loaded on pc then transferred. What are the advantages of that?. Thanks for the rom its running great guys. ..My signal is always between 104/110dmbs . Anyone know how I can improve it?No matter the rom, I tend to get worse on asop roms. I'm not in the country or woods. I'm in the city I guess is what I would call it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] aypeeootrek:
To add to this, my initial flash of version 1 took like ten minutes to get past the setup wizard too. Just went super slow. Anyway to bypass it?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] prdog1:
No way to increase. My dBm is same. AOSP is worse because they hand build the RIL. It is not optimized. :cool:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Thank Me Later:
Theme is EXCELLENT!! Damn great job on that!! Best themed Rom I've seen so far for the Verizon S3. Only thing I would change is have more battery icon options and a different boot animation. I like the one on Clean Rom the "Google Edition S4" boot up. Other than that the Rom doesn't seem too bad so far.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Atabak Azam:
Hi guys I just switched over to Verizon Wireless and changed my phone to Samsung Galaxy S4.

I've been with Apple and iPhone ever since the first generation iPhone came out, meaning I'm only familiar with iOS and iPhones

Now I've jailbroken my iphones a crap ton of times, but I have no clue on what to do anything with Android xD

Before switching over, I did some basic research on Android operating system and the Galaxy phones, and from what I found out, Android is a hell of a lot more customizable, open source platform, and there are a lot of crazy stuff you can do with it

I have some basic questions about rooting as a whole

1. What is the %/chance of my Galaxy S4 becoming bricked?

2. How do I backup all my contacts, apps, games, music, photos and such on Android?

3. Is there a software for Android like how Apple had iTunes?

4. If I mess something up and my phone becomes bricked, is there any way to fix it without replacing phone?

5. Moderator Edit - We don't do that here

6. Is there an Installous/Vshare type program for Android phones?

Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ryan1977:
Ill answer your first question. There is always a chance of bricking your phone when rooting and flashing custom roms and mods to your phone. But if you follow the instructions of whatever root method you choose to a tee, you should be fine. I was new to rooting when I got my s3 and I followed the instructions and read as much as I could, and everything went perfect. Check android developement for verizon s4 for all your rooting needs.

To answer questions 5 and 6...

Perhaps you missed the word "developers" in the name of the site. Coming to a community of developers and asking advice how how to screw them over is akin to being an invited guest in someone's house and arbitrarily spitting in their face. Pony up and pay for the apps if their paid.

I unlocked my bootloader and then went to:

https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/home/

At the lower right under SERVICE & REPAIR

Click on :Submit for Repair

Entered my IEMI and got an err code of 100-99.

I did the same with my wife's 'M (stock) and was able to browse the whole trouble-shooting gamut.

So even though the unlock is unofficial the Droid is able phone home about it.

I wasn't sure. Anyone want to confirm this?

edit

I new it voided the Warranty , just did not think it would be registered remotely .
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
Yea I just checked mine n it said out of warranty...which its not even two months old... I may just give support a call sometime and play dumb asking the why...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sloosecannon:
I think it's a root checker
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aviwdoowks:
Unlikely. Don't you think the privacy notification agreement, that you must click, can read your bootloader code?

Edit I see your point but both can be monitored.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
I see that... as it has the root checker in the stock recovery... I know once upon a soak in my d4 days they needed my imei number to send another push after that every post he (matt the forum manager) pretty much knew I was rooted... never said it but kept asking if I was rooted...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jco23:
no, it is a root checker.

I called them shortly after I got my device (and rooting it, of course) - and they asked for my IEMI, and after I gave it to them, they said that the phone was rooted.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
Yea... my quote didn't go through...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audiomixman:
Rooted and unlocked here but was able to log in and start the warranty process (I had to cancel out as I do not have an issue). Note: I pay the $6 or $7/month for warranty coverage through Verizon.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jco23:
biggest scam ever = wireless warranties/insurance...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audiomixman:
You are of course welcome to your opinion, but I've made out very well with such coverage over the years. I always buy used phones (coverage follows phone number and thus transfers) and the fees are a business expense and tax deductible.
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jco23:
glad they have worked out for you... but my understanding is that you pay $7/month, and if, for example, your phone is smashed/stolen, you'll get a replacement (most likely a refurb) for free. however, there is a $100 deductible.

so, let's just say, for example, that 12 months into your contract, you lose your phone and order a replacement. at this point, you would have spent $184 ($100 deductible + $7/month x 12).

comparatively, you could get a used one on ebay for about the same price (motorola still honors the warranty).

keep in mind that you'll be eligible to get a new phone at the discounted rate 22 months into a contract.

so, for me, given that losing/damaging a phone is a rarity, the numbers just to do not make sense (now watch me jinx myself and lose/damage my phone this weekend while at the beach).

essentially, all you are doing is taking a bet, and it's a losing bet in the long run....
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] audiomixman:
I've never paid a deductible. It's been a while since I have needed the coverage, but I remember getting a brand new Droid 3 after my Droid 2 bricked.

To me, that's the scam; the 2-year contract. I haven't been under contract with Verizon in years.

I truly hope not! But you also bring up a good point as I'm on and off my boat very frequently and dropping it in the water and/or me falling in (that's happened a few times) justifies the insurance for me.

When it's a legit business expense it's not a big deal. $7/month compared to what it costs me to operate a small business every month is nothing. Payroll and rent are the big ones.

Have a good time at the beach!
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jco23:
no disagreement on the 2-year contract scam - but that's the price we pay for discounted devices. hence the new programs currently being offered...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ezknives:
I have the warranty/insurance from Verizon as well... for simple issues I don't have to pay just mail my phone in when the replacement gets here... but if its an issue with say water damage, broken screen broken USB port stuff of that nature its a $100 deductible...
[Droid RAZR M Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jco23:
right. for simple issues, they'll send you a free replacement even if you don't have the insurance.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Filou31:
Actually I have mapped my record button to the record function but I have to press the record button on the PDA screen to begin recording

I would like to map my record button as it begins recording immediately and press a second time to stop it.

Is there a mean to do this or an application that record phone conversation automatically ?

Thank You
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Emil:
This will be very helpfull.

Help is definitely appreciated.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] BOSSPDA:
Hi people

You can use Vito sound Explorer and map the record button to the soundexplorer application. You'll see its very nice.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] DocteurN:
Yes that's very useful ! You map the button in Start > Parameters > Buttons

And after to record you press this button twice (one to launch SoundExplorer and the second to start recording)

To stop recording you just have to press again the button ;)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] shawnthecableguy:

on v1.11 rom it works fine recording convos i just hold the record button down while incall and it records both voices
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ezzkht:
if you start recording before doing the call, only the other side's voice will be recorded, but if you start the recording after the number being dialed, then both sides of the conversation will be recorded :wink:

This happens with me on my Wallaby..

I donno about other devices!

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] vmirage:
i can't seem to get it to work either... is there any special software that u need to use to record or just the plain old notes will do?

What's the steps? I tried to call before and after recording also to no avail. The only sound i can record is the feedback from my speaker to my mic and it's rather soft.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] DenisJ:
Hi all

i just installed Vito sound Explorer and it not record in both sides.

I have magician ... maybe is a problem with audio driver of magician incompatibility.

Please let us know if solve the problem.

Thanks

Denis
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] DocteurN:
No, as I wrote before in this thread, I'm recording easily both sides of a conversation with SoundExplorer on my Magician.

I begin the conversation and after launch SounExplorer via a button and record (I press the button twice)

Of course it can't work with BT Headphones...
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Chatty:
I think the question is, does Sound Explorer record both sides directly or does it "only" record the remote person via mike via loud speaker? This should be easily to confirm when setting the phone volume to minimum setting and recording a call.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] DocteurN:
SoundExplorer records the sound in general and have no option to record a phone call.

When I record a conversation I heard my voice, the person who calls me (but the voice is less strong) and all noises around me (so I call in a noiseless place).

That's why you can't record with a BT headphone for example because the Magician microphone can record only your voice ;)
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] ezzkht:
SoundExplorer does record conversations on two ways!

It works great with me..

Just start recording only AFTER the number has been dialed, and you'll be able to record both ways :wink:
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] bamse:
Ok, so can anyone confirm if there is a software that records both sides of a phone call when using a bluetooth headset?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] DocteurN:
No, to my knowledge, it's impossible on Magician... :(

If your phone can't boot at a higher oc it's your maximum. If it does, try it and you may get higher scores. But not all cpus are made for benchmarking.

I have an sgh-m919 T-Mobile galaxy s4

I rooted using CF-auto-root

It was very easy, and I had no issues with it.

Use the search bar to find it on this forum.

Its fast, free, easy, and it works.

Youtube can be useful as a tool, but use it for only part of your research, don't follow everything you see. I mean obviously it worked, but obviously, its also outdated.

Factory Reset and try again, this time use CF-auto-root
[Samsung Galaxy Fit GT 5670] nermin83s:
I tried to resolve this problem for quite a while without success . I connect to a WiFi without problems by pressing radio button or through settings. Also I can disconnect without problems. But there is this thing: I am connected at my home lets say on WiFi and I go without turning off my WIFI to another place lets say work, and my phone won't connect to that WIFI automatically (radio button for WiFi is turned on). So I need to turn the button off and turn it on again and then it will connect, or I just go to settings for WiFi and it will start scanning and connect to WiFi immediately.

More about this behavior: if I am connected to WiFi and go out of range and then in a range of another spot lets say in 10-20 minutes my phone will connect automatically. If its longer period maybe 20 minutes or more it wont connect automatically when I get into range. Also I dont think that has something to do with phone getting to deep sleep, because this morning I was walking to my home and listening music all the time and when I got home my phone didnt connect automatically. Nothing. It just seems it stops scanning, also when this happens I am not notified about open networks when I get in range.

My WiFi setting is always set on always connected and this happens even when I flash new stock ROM. While ago when I flashed version 2.3.4 this wasnt a problem, now even when I flash that one I have this same problem. I also tried few different stock ROMS without success.

I know this is not a big deal but it is irritating and I would like to fix this, so please help

Yeah it is a huge difference but the only way to really tell is to try it out yourself. Personally when I got the N4 I was quite happy with the display coming from an HD2 but once I flashed PA (with the halfbreed calibrated kernel) I realised just how awful the stock calibration was.

take your pick, you need a custom kernel that supports it though... as I linked both faux's kernel and franco's kernel support it.

i'm unsure about stock cm kernel but i don't believe it does.

also you'd have to tweak it by hand to get it how you like it, but franco's updater app includes presets if you're lazy. i'm unsure if any of the others have presets.
