bought mine in singapore, same problems

alot of people are complaining, it is a software/firmware bug in their devices also affecting some other models

but mine stops working randomly with or without simcard for 2-3 hours or a complete day

refuses to connect to wifi with full signal but still able to show all nearby networks with signal strength

on my phone no VOIP software works, skype, viber, vox etc...

when i put the phone to my ear it shuts off wifi, no matter what settings on energy saver i use

VOIP only works when i use speaker mode

i send bug reports to HTC but everytime they send me an excuse that my phone should be resetted

ive resetted my phone so many times and didnt solve nothing
[HTC One X+] Addicted2xda:
I hope you guys are on latest Firmware?

Also, since you bought it in another country, I guess you do not have a warranty - you might give a sense based custom ROM a try to see ...
[HTC One X+] Dieha Ward:
My set is on the latest firmware and its warranty period is still left..for that I have to visit dubai to get claim its warranty.I don't wanna get in this hassle of going and claiming the warranty..isn't there any other way out like installation of custom ROM or anything? someone please come up with something :(

My mobile firmware is 4.1.1

baseband version is 3.1204.168.32

kernel version 3.1.10-gf362097 root@abm032 # 1 SMP PREEMPT
[HTC One X+] Steve0007:
This is well known issue with some "restricted" countries

This is well known and has nothing to do with your device, it is a country/Area restriction. If wifi works without sim card then install the following posted:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jay Slay:
Hi All,

New to forum. With the help of this forum, last night I rooted - and CleanROM'd my new S4. Question....If I want to keep switching ROM's to find the best one to my liking, how do I do that each time - so that I don't have to go and re setup all my apps, login's and etc? Took me a long time to get it the way I wanted. Would be a shame to have to sit there and re do it all. Sorry for the noob questions!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mutelight:
You want something like Titanium Backup:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jay Slay:
Thanks. I have titanium backup. Would I just have it backup everything I have?

Then boot my phone into download mode, load the new from from the zip file? Do I need to clean any files out or do anything specific? Any ROM's you suggest I should look at that are fast and stable?

Thanks :good:
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] skinote:
Right now I'm rocking the silicone scratch protector back (can't really call it a "case") and the el-cheapo-cut-your-own screen protector that Costco included with the phone purchase. I've never owned a phone that could be made waterproof, so I was thinking it would be neat to pick up the Obex. That means sticking to my slightly lame solution for another couple of weeks.

Does anyone have experience with the Obex cases? Or thoughts on if it's worth waiting for and getting as a daily driver case?

Cheers!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] junebug85:
I bought one for my GS3 when it came out and gave it the water test. Sure enough it held. I used it as a daily driver for one day and sold it. The bulk added is enormous as expected but I was mostly let down by the screen protector it has (the kind with the dots all over it) and the sound distortion the waterproof membrane produced. My say in the matter is, if you plan on being in a situation where you will NEED water protection, go for it and use it when needed. Not a good option as a daily driver in my opinion.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] skinote:
You basically just confirmed my specific 2 concerns about making the obex a daily driver! The screen protector, and the sound. Thanks, I think I will get a tempered glass protector and some other case.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] junebug85:
Don't be too quick to look past the Samsung protection+ case. I have been through a LOT of different cases with the gs3 and note 2 in my quest for perfection and (go figure) Samsung is dang close. UAG also has a good thing going. The functionality of the buttons (power and volume) on both of these are at the top of my list for cases that cover the buttons.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] skinote:
I ordered the UAG and Spigen glas.t nano slim, I think it should work out pretty well...I'll probably still eventually pick up an obex for canoe trips and stuff, but I think I'll be happy with this as a daily driver setup. This is also my first tempered glass screen protector, so that will be interesting!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] holla420:
I had the spigen glas tr. Its nice but the $35 price tag for 1 :( . I got the neo hybrid by spigen and just ordered a glass screen protector from mime they have a lifetime warranty and its $25
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jkbane:
The GS3 was Seidio's first Gen so things might have gotten better by now. I used the iPhone 5 Obex and it was ten times better than the iPhone 4S LifeProof case. I'm sure that the S4 model of the Obex will be tweaked. I'm planning to get one. I'm post a review when I get it
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jamess0621:
Any idea when they are coming out? I have tried researching the s4 case and all I come up with is "under development"
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] skinote:
I got into live chat support with them and they said very early Q3, like basically in a couple weeks. If that service rep was well informed, I would expect it to be released before 7/15.

On a side note, my UAG case arrived today and it's awesome. Feels and looks great. Button access is almost easier that it was when the phone was naked. The case adds very little bulk, though it does add weight. If anyone wants pics or measurements, let me know. I have the white case on the white phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] skinote:
I got my Glas t.nano slim protector installed today. I almost got it perfect! Alas, a couple small defects. I noticed that you can actually clean the adhesive side with alcohol and lens paper. I used methanol so there wouldn't be any residue, though most people probably don't work in a lab and have access to that. Ethanol removed dust, but left a residue, so I would avoid that probably. Pics are at rblunderbuss.imgur.com if you're curious, couldn't get them to show up here correctly.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ppdd:
AT&T is now offering LTE on their prepaid gophone plans. I have a T-mobile HTC One and wanted to take advantage of this. I got it unlocked, paid my $60 and connected to AT&T just fine, but I'm not getting LTE.

I've searched. I know it used to be the case that you could only get LTE on an AT&T branded phone (maybe also unbranded ones?). I assumed with the new plans they'd let anyone hop on LTE.

Anyone know what to do? Is this one of those "borrow an IMEI" situations?
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] dtorrez1883:
T mobile uses a different band for their LTE so you would need an ATT branded phone if you wanted to get LTE.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alexcarterkarsus:
hello all,

I have a strange problem... my I9505 was on MEA firmware, original csc was DBT but later changed to BTU. Few days ago I flashed MF2 from Spain out of curiosity, all went fine except samsung hub wouldn't start, and gave a "Mandatory parameter not found 1101" error message... I thought it was due to regional issue. However, today Germany (DBT) MF8 came out and I flashed it with factory reset, yet samsung hub still won't start and gives the same error. Does anyone have the similar problem? And does anyone know how to solve it? Thanks

Can't mount datadata

Today afternoon i tried to flash CM9/10(before that my I9003 had Android 2.3.6 XXLE4)... i wasnt successfully... so I wanted to use my CWM Backup... first I flashed the Clockworkmod Recovery about Stock ROM + CF-ROOT and then I used the backup

And there was the problem... at the end of the restoring progress, I read 'Can´t mount datadata'.... the mobile couldnt reboot... it stayed on the Startupscreen. i couldnt find any helpful threads about searching in the web... Do anyone know what there happened and how I can solve this problem?

My English isnt so good... I hope you can understand what i wrote....

EDIT: I can get into the Recovery and Download Mode
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] TTMaster:
EDIT: I can get into the Recovery and Download Mode: Solution Hard reset button

Re-flash and restore your backup
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Snivy13:
Maybe I wrote it wrong again... I CAN get into Download Mode and Recovery Mode... I also tried to flash a Stock-ROM and then restore the backup... but the phone cant start after I flashed the Stock-ROM or after restoring the backup...

Maybe my way is wrong...

I do it like that:

1.Start Odin

2.Open PDA and choose the XXLE4 Stock ROM

3.Start

4.After this was done I try to restart...

I think there must be a wrong step...
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] TTMaster:
1.- Start Odin 1.85

2.- PIT Latona_20110114.pit (select Repartition + Auto Reboot + F. Reset Time)

3.- Remove battery + Download mode

4.- Odin - PDA XXLE4 Stock ROM

Good Luck

Error mounting /datadata

I tried it... I flashed Latona pit with those settings, and then, after I removed Battery one time, I flashed the Stock ROM, but there was a boot loop again.

After there was a boot loop, I also tried to flash CWM and then restore the backup, but at the end I saw again:

Restoring datadata...

Error mounting /datadata!

Skipping format...

Can't mount /datadata!
[Samsung Galaxy SL i9003] Snivy13:
Yesterday in the evening I successfully flashed a Stock ROM with 4 parts(Bootloader, PDA, Phone, CSC), then I flahsed a 1 part XXLE4 and the CF-ROOT and restored the backup over CWM :) Now my phone works normally

Thank you for all those who helped me there :)
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Mix3d:
So I want to remap the hardware buttons, but ran into some issues:

google searches say to edit the /system/usr/keylayout/sec_touchkey.kl (for previous galaxy devices), but this file is mysteriously absent on my stock rooted s4.

I tried other files in this /system/usr/keylayout/ folder; atmel_mxt_ts.kl seemed promising in its content:

key 139 MENU
key 102 HOME
key 158 BACK
key 217 SEARCH

Changing these, however, did nothing.

Am I searching in the right place, just in the wrong files? Is there a file chmod permission I might be missing?

I think there was also a jar file (android.policy.jar?) I'd have to decompile if I wanted to change the long-press actions for these buttons?

Can I override the double-press home button to do something different than s-voice? (I know I can disable the app itself)

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] kelvinator:
disable the button

I was also looking all over for this. Did what you did and also other. kl in the system usr no change also . Using 3minit mod. Wanted to disable the hardware button as having the navigation bar and therefore now having two back button.

Anyone here with any idea to share?
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] godsfilth:
i dont have an S4 at the moment and i cant remember the exact file name but its under system/usr/keylayout looking through a rom file i think its gpio-keys.kl just mount the folder as read/write then comment out the lines you dont want using # then reboot

what did you do to enable the navbar when i had i was using an S4 last week the only way i could get it working was with an AOSP rom which meant no samsung camera or IR

*edit i should add that this was on the verizon S4
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] kelvinator:
success disable hardware back button

I finally managed to disable the button. Its in system/usr/generic.kl . Place# infront of key 159 back and reboot. Done.

Got navigation bar using 3minit setting and mod.

If it works for you hitting the Thanks button will help. Cheers

---------- Post added at 05:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 05:25 AM ----------

Correction. In system/usr/keylayout/generic.kl.

I am on omega v6.0 with 3minit mod.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Mix3d:
Good to know, but my use case is a little different... I'm hoping to swap/ change the soft keys, not disable.

But if generic.kl worked for you, that's a good place for me to start. Will play around and post back if I can swap the menu/back button, hopefully the long press options as well. Ideally I want to move a lot of things around, (long press home for gnow, back to recent, long for menu, menu to back) but we'll see.

I'm on stock rooted, which is why I still need functionality
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] kelvinator:
based on how I see it. I think it could be done

I will try it out if I could swap the menu and home like how you wanted. But you definitely need to be rooted first to edit the files

tried it changing key 139 MENU with BACK. saved reboot with success. Menu function swap to back function.

rem you got to be rooted for this to work. ..
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Skipjacks:
Is a long press registered as a different key for mapping purposed?

Like menu button is 001 but long press menu is 002?

Ultimately I'd like to be able to make a long press on the home button turn the screen off. That's my end goal with that question.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] elesbb:
In the generic.kl file, just change the labels to what you want. For instnace, where it says 117 VOLUME_UP WAKE (thats just an example) remove the volume_up and put MENU or BACK or whatever you want there.

The system interupts the key down press, it then launches a post delayed runnable when you press down, if the key is pressed down for the length of that post delayed, then essentially "long press" has been executed. The runnable then consumes the the original key press to prevent the key from executing.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Mix3d:
Right, so then how do we override the long press?
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] elesbb:
If you are trying to do it via the system. Meaning overriding system button presses, then you will have to edit the smali code. I believe the method is interceptKeyBeforeQueing or something like that.

You are in the wrong place, bud. Please ask questions like this in the q and a forum. This is a development forum for development related discussion.

And do try to be a tad calmer when posting. There are tons of people who will be happy to help. But the aggressive tone of your post will prevent many people from wanting to assist.

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Mix3d:
Found this at the AOSP Site:

http://source.android.com/tech/input/key-layout-files.html

Another potentially useful resource is this list of keycodes:

http://source.android.com/tech/input/keyboard-devices.html

I haven't had time to play much with this stuff yet, but I DID try the KeynrTracker.apk listed here, however it does not seem to register any of the long presses, leaving us only with menubutton as 139 and back as 158. It could have something to do with the way this app is designed, or in the way Samsung is firing these button presses.

More to come.

[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] SuzakuTheKnight:
I'm also trying to emulate a more nexus style layout for the buttons. I've currently managed to remap the menu key to BACK and the back key to APP_SWITCH; however, this presents the problem of not being able to access menu options as the action bar's overflow button is still hidden in apps. Does anyone know how to enable the overflow button across the OS? And would doing so also enable a legacy on screen menu button for legacy apps? I'm guessing that I need to remove any reference of MENU from generic.kl, but figured that I'd ask to see if anyone knew.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] jastonas:
Have you found anything? Maybe you could look into CM code which has the option, even though it still doesn't work THAT good.

Anyone knows if there's any way to turn off the light on the HW buttons on the GE rom (from these files)?
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Mix3d:
Likely not from the keyboard mapping files. An uneducated guess would be that since it's likely a low level hardware thing, it's a kernel change, but I could be dead wrong too. Look for similar thing for s3 or s2? Might be relevant
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] SuzakuTheKnight:
Well, I tried commenting out every occurrence of a MENU key binding, but nothing changed. I read somewhere that Samsung gutted most of the code for on screen buttons.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] neodoru:
Thanks for your answer!

I did search for similar things on S3 and S2 but since these devices don't have a vanilla android ROM it's irrelevant. On S3 you have it in settings in both TW ROMs and CM ROMs; the S2 has a file that can be deleted in order to get the buttons to stay always on, but that file is missing on S4 (and I did look in that folder for something resembling and nada).
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Mix3d:
Guess you should ask someone who did the CM version / check the Git repository for that section.. it might tell you more?

Since there isn't always an app for everything, the code is something like this (to disable hw lights)

Add that to an init.d script and you're good.

Hey guys,

I have a relative with an SGSIV stock.

Is it possible to remap long press actions without root or third party apps?

Specifically, he wants to set print screen to long press home, instead of the combination of home & power.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Skipjacks:
Without root, probably not. With root and custom roms its super easy
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] defim:
To assign an app with the long touch on the search button, no root is required
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] CNexus:
No, because without either of those the functionality would already need to be customizable in the stock rom, which it obviously is not.
[Galaxy S 4 Developer Discussion [Developers-Only]] Wobzy:
Yup, he's older and not quite tech literate.

So you mean to tell me, without a custom rom and / or third party apps, I'm bound to manufacturer restrictions?

:eek:

And it's not that obvious if I don't own a Samsung is it, hence the question. But that's my bad I thought my sig was on, otherwise I would have mentioned I have a HTC and forget what stock looks like.

Thanks for the brilliant insight anyway.

Well...yeah. You're restricted to whatever customization the manufacturer has included without a) 3rd party apps or b) a custom rom. There's no other way to get those customizations because you need root to change most things yourself, or an app that interfaces directly with the OS to do it for you

You don't necessarily need "root" per say. But a custom recovery allowing write access to the system files is needed. But when the phone is running and booted, you technically don't need root.
