I'm hoping Samsung comes out with a fix for the pink tint.

I seem to recall that the s2 had issues with yellow tint on the left side and Samsung came out with a kernel update that fixed it.

I had same problem what [MENTION=274313]nm8[/MENTION] had. I sent my phone to warranty but only thing they did was a software update (what I did three times before sending it to there). Of course that didn't help, after I got my phone back it was even worse. I wrote petition to the shop from where I bought phone. Yesterday they announced to me that Samsung after-sales service will buy my phone back.

Right now I don't know that is this phone worth of buying again (would buy 32 GB version now). It's one of the most expensive phones in the market so I would like to get nearly perfect screen...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
There is no perfect screen.. better to stop trying to get unless u loss ur hope and waiste ur timer..

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nm8:
I have seen your thread before, and to me, the green tint on the left is not normal... it looks like there is light leak... and I definitely did not see that on the x2 S4's that I handled.

My "guess" is that your carrier has a faulty batch that is why you have them on x5 units already. If I were you, I will ask for a refund and buy elsewhere. This is the reason why I only buy unlocked phones from amazon... because you get a month to check the phone, if you find anything wrong, you can ask for a refund or exchange, no questions asked...

But I bought my S4 on the bay, but I made sure it is sealed, and the seller is local to me so if there was a problem, I can always come back to him, which I did... and the seller was a very nice and understanding person and he even went to the shop with me, but they refused to change it in the shop because the phone was bought online... but he got the new replacement sent out to my address, and at the day of delivery, the courier collected the faulty phone...

So far so good, hopefully the screen does not crack just like what others have experienced...

Good luck mate!

the pink tint seems to be present to varying degrees on most s4s.

This reviewer's s4 has a slight pinkish tint at the bottom.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nm8:
Actually what I notice with the S4, is when you view it at different angles, it has varying tints.

But when viewed straight on, it should have uniform tint.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
Actually amoled screen under the gorilla glass have small dent, some have on top and some have on bottom.. which cause screen tint.. but its not noticable. It can normal if we see toward where dent is in direction... its from as manufactured...

Really.. I have this tint in s3 note 2 and s4

And its normal
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwang:
you mean the dent or the tint?

The tint is definitely noticeable. I don't see any dents.

Anybody can go watch some galaxy s4 reviews on youtube and see that most of the them (besides the review units sent by the manufacturer) have either the tint at the bottom or top. Its easier to see bottom tint since the top is usually covered by the status bar and other things.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
Dent can be see by a suitable technique
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dwang:
Against my better judgement, I decided to try for another replacement to see if I could get a better screen.

No such luck. The third replacement still has the pinkish tint but it's at the top (top half is darker) instead of the bottom (bottom half is darker). However the tint is actually worse than the second unit I had.

I'm pretty much done with replacements now and will just live with it.

Hopefully, Samsung comes out with a software workaround for this hardware issue.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazy_777:
my s4 the top half is darker n had pinkish tint ....i don't want to send my s4 to samsung for screen repair because maybe another screen problem will arise so whether we just wait for software update from samsung or any solution guys?

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLver:
Hi!

Android GE was recently released for flash (so a lot of people is really happy right now) and I KNOW is very early to ask for mods, but if someone could help with this, that would be great (lol)

I want to have the AOSP browser in GE, I tried this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2173565 which is the mod for sense based roms that works in HOX, HOX+ and One but it did not work for the GE... so I also tried to use the broswer from the nightly of CM (put in system/apps and set permisions) but no luck (well i had to try :silly:)...

its just my opinion but I always feel the aosp browser more smooth than chrome or firefox etc, even the stock browser in sense (which is almost the same). maybe i need to wait until a deodexed rom?

well thanks in advance for any help :p
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcrane1981:
+1 I definitely agree, the AOSP browser is so much better.

Use root explorer (es file manager), set permission of /system to RW and copy the apk over then restart.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SLver:
thanks, both methods works, they dont have 64 tabs and incognito mode but its ok, thanks again!!!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortysantiago:
I tried both methods with no luck. Running rooted HTC one with GE Rom. Does the rom have to be deodexd?

I used ES file explorer to change permission of system/app to rw, moved browser apk into system/app, changed name of BrowserProviderProxy.apk and BrowserProviderProxy.odex with an added "1", then restarted. After boot, everything is back to normal, as though no changes were made. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Will try deodexer.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerox912:
I installed it multiple time just with the AOSP browser installer found in the playstore. This i can guarantee that it will work.

Also i copied the sense browser from a sense zip to the system app folder. just set the permissions for both the broser and the sync apk.

worked for both deodexed and odexed roms, maybe a custom kernel with disabled system nand protection is required. Dont know exactly what i did but its working for me
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortysantiago:
I'm not sure what's going on. I tried the AOSP browser installer from play store. It goes through the steps, but when it asks me to reboot it does nothing. When I restart myself, it's like nothing happened. I'll try doing it with another ROM.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mortysantiago:
Just in case someone is having the same problem. Version 4.1.2 of the AOSP browser was not working for me but 4.1.1 worked fine.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] golabski:
I've been looking everywhere and just need some direction on where to find a stock Rom for the HTC one for at&t version. Also I want to know if my phone will still be rooted or not afterwards? I know it normally has to be a rooted Rom but that surely wouldn't get rid of root just because I flash a stock Rom? And is flashing it essentially having stock or is there a way I can go completely stock and it not even have access to bootloader and can anymore? Thanks in advance for any help I'm still not very good at this.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] barondebxl:
You should look in the right place first, like the att HTC one forum perhaps.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] capathy21:
Be prepared to get smart ass comments like the one above mine. If you flash a stock Att ROM you will still be rooted. You can find one in the android development section. In order to get rid of custom recovery you would need to run the Att ruu. You first have to relock your boot loader. There are several informative videos on you tube. Just do a Google search for Att ruu for HTC one.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
How was that persons response a smart ass response...
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ffontan:
I don't know if it was smartass (it definitely wasn't that smart)...but it was rude.

A person asked a question...and a second person not only did not answer it but tried to shame him/her by saying: "you should look in the right place".

What's up with that??

Why are some of the older members on these forums (some with thousands of posts) so hostile to newbies??
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] capathy21:
That's exactly what I meant. It happens a lot on XDA. Instead of using your response to help a person, they either have a smart comment or try to make the person asking the question feel stupid.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
How do you know this person didn't post in the international section originally and was moved here by a mod? So don't make assumptions like that because I've seen it happens many times. And most of us aren't mean, we just don't feel the need to do all the legwork for said noobies. That gets no one anywhere if people can't figure these things out by themselves they should not be modifying their expensive devices. Not trying to be mean, but we do not want people bricking their phones here.

We don't make anyone feel stupid. If anything they make themselves look stupid especially when the answer they're looking for is right in front of them but they just feel like someone should send them a link because they're entitled to it.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] born_fisherman:
This is exactly why I hate looking for answers on forums. If people would help out and actually provide some helpful answers then people would be able to find the right solution when searching. I can't tell you how many threads and posts I've had to go through because of spiteful responses.

I understand my reply doesn't help the OP, but I just had to say something.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ffontan:
Yeah...I have only been posting for a day but I've been reading these forums for a while and I've noticed a certain level of hostility especially towards newbies...

I asked a simple question yesterday (as my first post) and the very first response was a smartass remark...I wasn't even surprised.

There is a lot of nerd rage around these forums I suppose, and been an electrical engineer I am used to dealing with that...but still, I thought this was supposed to be a "community".it'd be funny if everytime one of my neighbors asked me a question about how to do something, I answered like that.

And by funny I mean, I'd be an asshole for answering like that.

---------- Post added at 11:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:56 AM ----------

First of all... why does it matter if a person posted somewhere else?

Secondly, there is no need to be hostile or defensive...ever.

Third, no one is asking anyone any work...some people are just asking simple questions about how to from A to B.

Fourth, if a person asks a question, and a second person doesn't know the answer then they shouldn't answer. And if their intent is to point in the right direction they could just say:

Hey, check this forum out and here is a link... no need for smartass remarks.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
Because if they post in the international section they wouldn't have much help there as most people with the at&t version post here where there is also an ruu.

Second, there's only a few here that may be hostile. Telling people to search is not hostile.

Third, why should we spell it out for someone again if by taking a look around before posting will answer their questions?

Fourth, that's what most people do, except they don't always post links because they shouldn't have to. Most people I see tell the person with the problem exactly where to find the answer and linking to it isn't necessary. Do some people do it? Sure, but it shouldn't be necessary.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] capathy21:
I understand there are some stupid questions asked on XDA but overall the attitude is hostility. It's been that way since I started rooting/flashing 4 years ago. XDA is very intimidating as a noobie. You have to learn lingo/terms and even as a half way experienced flasher I still read read read and sometimes am unclear on some things. There are a lot of helpful people on here and the devs are amazing but sometimes honest questions get ripped.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ffontan:
Telling people to search may not be hostile but is douchie...If the person is in these forums is because they are searching. If I know the answer to a question that someone asks, I have two options, I can either choose to answer it or choose not to answer it. If I choose to not answer it then I should not type a smartass remark.

So here is a simple suggestion for some of the most hostile older members of these forums...

If you don't feel like you should answer a person's questions then don't ****ing answer the question...Why spend the extra effort to try to be a smartass??

---------- Post added at 11:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

By the way Nick...

You have not been hostile to me...just to be clear...

Which baffles me that you are defending some of the a-holes who are.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
I agree people shouldn't be aholes but I'm just trying to explain why the attitude around here is the way it is, I started as a noob once (back in the captivate days) the first thing I did when I tried to root that thing was mess it up, and I was able to fix it by myself without asking for the easy way out. Most people expect everyone who joins to do that so that's why people say "search before posting" and if you still can't find the answer then no one will be hostile in any way and will most likely answer your question politely. That's all, I understand it's intimidating but we just encourage people to problem solve by themselves first and ask questions after

---------- Post added at 05:45 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:45 PM ----------

I try not to be a smartass but if someone posts something really obvious then I will tell them to search and nothing else
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ffontan:
This is kind of my point though...

No need to do that. When I know the answer to a question I either choose to answer it or not answer it... To say "hey, go search search"...is rude.

What makes you think that person wasn't searching? I can tell you if they found these forums is because they are searching...and perhaps they could not find the answer.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] Nick281051:
Usually you can tell, especially with people that make new threads like" how do i return to stock?" those kinds of things make it obvious that the person didn't look at all. Most of the time I will point them in the right direction and hope they can figure it out on their own, otherwise they shouldn't root/mod their phones. That's all.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] born_fisherman:
The problem is that there are so many threads with misinformation and you never know which method to follow since there aren't many "official" threads in how to do something. Most of the time I search and read various methods and then will usually have to go with the mostly used method.

What I describe above is what is wrong with the internet in general.. not just xda.

You never know who knows what and when you find an answer your hoping it's right.. but I've been burned before where you follow someones suggestion, but then 20 minutes later, someone with more experience gives the right solution.

few quick questions

I flashed the Google Edition ROM earlier today and I have a couple of quick questions about the Google Edition ROM...

Right now my home screens are set to 4x4 arrays and the # of icons on the dock is also limited. Is there anyway to change this while using the stock launcher? I have the Nova launcher installed now, but I was wondering if there was any level of customization that could be done on the stock launcher?

Also the stock launcher is not allowing me to re-size widgets and such...is that a by product of this "Google Edition" using the Sense framework?

Lastly is the Trebuchet launcher on CM any better when it comes to customization? And anyone who has tried both and has an opinion one way or the other?

I'll greatly appreciate the help.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] ffontan:
Flashed the CM10.1 June 28 nightly played with it for almost a day...liked it a lot but will stick to the Google Edition ROM for the time being...mostly based on Stability (and silly as it may sound the Beats Optimization)

Will probably switch to CM 10.1 once it reaches Release Candidate status or Stable version.

Great job so far...I really really like where CM is heading.
[AT&T HTC One (M7)] SErooted:
I have to agree with all of you in one way or another. When a person asks for help trying to locate information about their device. it really is not hard to either answer with a proper response of, Did you search for your info? Where did you look? And there certainly is no problem with going, this is what your looking for, hope i helped. (link)

As a senior member myself, i still have had times where i asked for some assistance because i could not find exactly what i was looking for, I have read, and searched, and searched, and read. and when i have asked questions... i have gotten one of two responses, here is what you are looking for, hope i helped you out. And the other being, you are not entitled to any help, go search, if you dont have time to search, you shouldn't be in the forums or modifying your device. also.. you must not mod alot of devices if you have to ask that question, you surely don't know what you are doing.

People here can be rude. if a person doesn't want to help, here is the thought.. you are entitled to keep your mouth shut instead of be a smart ass and let someone who is willing and patient to help the newbie understand what they are doing and help guide them. this is how beginners turn into our next gen of devs. and certain people acting like A**es makes them not want to be part of this community. I have gotten rid of certain devices because i couldnt tolerate the rude ignorant remarks in those device communities. it is also another reason that i dont do dev work anymore and dont post as much as i used to. People are rude.

i feel entitled to ask a question in hopes of an answer that may help me. you are entiled to keep your mouth shut if you plan on being rude in regards to said question.

to my last statement..... you have a better chance at scratching a bobcats ass, than coming up to me and talking to me in that sweet sister ass voice.

help the person or not. but at least have some dignity not to be an a**hole!!

Try this first.

Go to Channel Guide & press the menu key to enter Edit Channels

On the top where it says Select resolution & languages, click it and make sure that high definition is checked.

If that doesn't bring up all your hd channels then try this next step.

Goto settings and add a new room and it will ask you for your postal code. Enter and select shaw and then when it asks you if you get channel 2 or whatever...just say no. This should now show all the channels.

Hope this helps.
