Okay, first of all - GOD DAMN !

Second I kinda got a question. I see a huge ding on the plastic, do you see an impact zone actual overlap glass ( did actual glass got hit on impact) or it's just hit plastic part. Cause I am just trying to understand what is going on here. I know people that dropped SGS4 regular from pocket height and unit was cracked, some with same regular model managed to do gf wall aggro and nothing. Now this. Just trying to understand Glass and LCD, how different it in both units. And in your case , just change back, file plastic a bit or get a overlapping case and it's like new.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] joshuadjohnson22:
From what I have read the regular S4 has a small bezel that flexes on impact which makes the screen an easy target. This bezel is not only thicker but it goes a little bit before the glass meaning the plastic will hit the ground instead of the glas. This gives it a little more protection.

That is crazy and does my heart good to see it survive :)

I found Hyperion brand batteries on amazon

When I was younger, my remote controlled cars always ran longer on them. And they're water proof guaranteed.

2 for 20 + a separate charger just for the spare.

Plus their tech shop has a phone so you talk with engineers, which is pleasant.

Thats amazing on your drop....Hopefully that fall isn't a fluke, and these phones are a bit tougher than the average user is used to.

I got the Anker batteries for the GS4, but the batteries are slightly thicker...they will definitely work in the GS4 active, but i question if it will keep the waterproof seal intact. I plan on using the charger, with more oem samsung batteries.

you can buy them here... I've not yet ordered these though, so I cant personally vouch for them.

I was never comfortable with my regular old S4. Especially with reports of it breaking in peoples pockets with no trauma...

I'm glad to see the Active taking a huge hit and living. But I'm still putting a case on it.

Thanks for sharing.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eortizr:
you just got lucky, it all depends on the 'impact zone', I bet my life if the impact zone were the glass or corner the history will be different.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] russiandivxclub:
I guess that's exactly what I am wondering. I mean where are thouse drop tests when you need one. I mean that gorilla glass is perhaps more gorilla'sh
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Globel:
Do they make slightly thinner batteries? So it will make wireless charging less risky.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jeremy1701:
Yup, totally lucky. An impact on the screen would've surely destroyed it. As it is, there is a large dent in the back cover. I'll probably have to replace it. But, the story holds and I'm still impressed it survived the fall at all.

I picked up a battery from Batteries+. It does seem just a tiny bit bigger. I'll probably order the Samsung just to be safe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jefem24:
How is the fit on the cheap ones? I heard the ankers are thicker so Im concerned about the seal?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] _MetalHead_:
Now that you bring it up, they are a little bit thicker than the stock battery, but the the cover seems to fit just fine. No clue about the seal, I have no intention of doing a dunk test to find out :p

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrazyKong:
I have a MB526 phone and am not sure it has the correct firmware on it. Since I got this phone second hand, how can I check that my phone has the correct modem file on it.

Do the MB526 phones have different hardware in them for 850/2100 and different hardware for 900/2100?? Or is there only one hardware version of this phone and it just has different firmware installed?

How do I go about checking this. I think I might have a 900/2100 unit, but would like it to be 850/2100 thus if the hardware is the same, then I should be able to flash the 850 firmware right?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
The hardware is the same, you can change the baseband using Defy baseband switcher.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrazyKong:
Hmm ok that's good news then. So if I locate the original firmware for the provider I want the phone to work on, it should setup the baseband automatically too right?
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
Yes, you have to replace bp_nvm_default folder from system/etc of stock to custom ROM.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KrazyKong:
Oh you got my confused. I don't want to go a custom rom, I just want to flash to the stock provider rom of my choice. And since one provider is 850/2100 and the other is 900/2100 that's why I first posted.

Right now I suspect the phone has a stock or some default rom with 900/2100 as the baseband. I want to flash a stock provider rom that is 850/2100.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotdog125:
Yes, flash whatever ROM, and then copy the folder.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droid_<3er:
No. Flash the ROM, root it, then use basebandswitcher first to try the listed basebands that have the frequency you're looking for. Chances are there will be one that gives you service.

Edited : Original thread title is " [Q] Xperia ion poor signal reception?"

Well when I am in my room in second floor while my WiFi modem is in first floor,my Xperia mini pro can get the WiFi signal at 1 bar and the internet is pretty fluid fast...while my ion connected to the internet but receives no bar (like in the picture)

So,any way to fix it?I heard there is 5 ghz baseband or something like that which use full potential of WiFi receptor?

EDIT : I have the example link for enabling it (but only for Xperia mini and its siblings in 2011)

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] v0ids0ul:
Ah, in fact according to broadcom the chipset inside the Ion supports 5Ghz. I know of no way to enable it, but it would be nice. It however, will not increase your signal strength. Due to the way that radio frequencies work, the 5Ghz can carry more data at once, in turn enabling greater data rates.....The problem is that this gets offset by the fact that you already have poor throughput on the 2.4Ghz band, and in turn 5Ghz would only make it worse as the 5Ghz band isn't as narrow and therefore doesn't have the same penetration strength that you get with 2.4Ghz. This is why older 900Mhz cordless phones had greater distance capabilities (also why you could tap neighbors call by accident sometimes), than newer 2.4Ghz. You would need a way to amplify the signal in order to benefit from the 5Ghz band in your situation.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:
Thanks for replying

Well,I honestly don't know this kind of thingies...my mini pro got some 5ghz signal enabled through build prop file...so wondering if my ion also can do like that
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] v0ids0ul:
No problem. I found this,

but as it's a different chipset it probably won't work...
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:
Good job to find the solution to that :)

I don't know if I feels like wanna bump this thread once a day for you to notice,maybe bookmark this thread and reply with every time you got something?And I always watching my topics but don't have any idea how to involve with this kind of system things :#)
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] v0ids0ul:
I spent a little time poking around and added ht_Enable=1 as Well as enabling wmm, and adding ht40- and + as seen in the file. Everything still works but I still do not see anything in the 5ghz band. I have a feeling there is another line of code needed to enable 5ghz, either that or we are missing 5ghz capable firmware. I wouldnt know where to find other firmware though.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] v0ids0ul:
Just wanted to update....although it really is warranted as I've been trying different things and still cannot seem to get it working. I have a feeling it has something to do with Spatial Streams, though I cannot be sure just yet.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:
Spatial stream?May I know what is it? :3
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] zh0pp3r:
May be there are some hacks to enable wi-fi "n" again on JellyBean firmware for Xperia S?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] v0ids0ul:
Spatial streams are essentially different waves of data. Each in the n specification able to handle 72mbps from what I have heard, and therefore we are stuck with a max 72mbps unless I or someone else can figure out how to set it or if it is even possible without multiple antennas.
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:
So basically there is a setting that must be configured to make it more than 72mbps and getting a 5ghz band?
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] v0ids0ul:
Well, yes and yes. The 5Ghz band shouldn't have anything to with the Spatial Streams, but in order for it to actually increase the throughput, the spatial streams would have to be unlocked so to say. I believe I recall seeing in the thread you linked to a setting that basically enables what is called MIMO (Multiple Input & Multiple Output) over a single antenna. Though, the chipset was different as were the drivers being used. If anyone knew a way to at least get that working it would be a great start....Even if it didn't enable 5Ghz through doing so, it would increase the bandwidth.

any solution yet?

Anyone have the answer yet? I searched and haven't found a way to enable 5GHz WiFi on our Xperia S on JB firmware, I know that the new Trinity ROM 3 got it enabled, so it supposed to have a standalone way of doing it?

Thanks
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] UchihaDareNial:
Well no one got solution for it...I think if some developers can reverse-'engineer' the 5ghz baseband in Trinity for stock ICS/GB/JB,that would be awesome

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devo3d:
I can't believe it, I wanted to figure out which Stock Rom would let me update to a 4.2 Rom easiest so I used ODIN to flash 03, 05 and 09. Well on my last attempt, 09, I decided to also flash a Kernel.....guess it was the wrong one because it won't go into Recovery or go past "Samsung" on boot. To top it off, when I put it back in "Download" mode to ODIN again, the computer won't even detect it.....I tried everything. I even did a recovery on my computer in case I downloaded a bug....NOTHING. Paperweight!!!!!

I can get into download mode but when I do the computer won't recognize the phone so is there a way to install the Kies without connecting to the computer?

Can I install recovery on it without the phone being connected to the computer and just the SD card in the computer?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gintu:
You just disconnect your phone and download and install the latest version of kies in your pc. So that drivers will be automatically installed to ur pc then open odin and connect your phone in download mode to pc then check wether odin detect ur phone:thumbup:

Would it be possible to install recovery files onto my SD card via my computer and then insert the SD card back in the phone to be able to get it into recovery?

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devo3d:
Well, after pondering on the fact that I can get into download mode but nothing else a friend reminded me that I can't be Hard Bricked if I can get into download mode, I realized that it was a communication problem of the "hardware" kind. So, I took my phone apart. went to the micro usb and re-soldered all the connections and used a magnifying loupe to look at the connectors in the micro usb port and took a small flathead screwdriver and raised up the connectors a little. After putting it back together I crossed fingers and plugged it in and Whalla! "Loading Drivers"--connected. How about that. So thanks to everyone for their suggestions and hopefully my experience can help someone else. I would like to add that up until this point, I have never had issues with the micro usb port on the device.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zisilius:
Hello XDA-Community!

I own an Unlocked HTC One 32 GB bought from Let's Talk HTC online dealer and shipped to US.

I have been using information from these forums ever since I ditched my old iPhone 4 to get the new Shiny HTC One. I have had it for about two months, since the beginning of may and only a couple weeks back decided to try the fun part of Android and successfully unlocked the bootloader with HTCDev, flashed a custom recovery and rooted the phone. Since then, tried a few roms and been having a blast. The only problem I had was weak battery life, but I decide to live with it and stuck with it.

Today I discovered an overlooked or recently appeared defect with this phone, and I haven't heard of other people with the same issue, but part of the screen on the sides of the phone is lifted as if it's not mounted properly and was poorly glued ( don't know how it's manufactured ). So, I'm gonna try to do a warranty claim on it as I believe should be possible with this phone. I can't and don't want to sit this problem out as it's too much as hopefully you can see.

Sorry can't post the images directly yet:

htt p://w ww.flickr.com/photos/93979094@N05/9211182917/

Hopefully you can see in the links that it has risen and whenever I try to push it down it either springs back up with a clicking sound or stick for a second and then slowly rises back to that position. I think this is a bit unusual as I have not seen or heard of this complaint before.

The main Question I'm having is, how do I go from having S-off and being unlocked and rooted to completely stock, meaning S-on, stock recovery, stock rom etc.. The main reason I installed S-off is so that in case something like this happens I can reset even the "relocked" status back to "locked"in the bootloader as I understood S-off lets you achieve that. S-off was performed with Revone developer build without any issues encountered during process. I did not change/flash Hboot, CID, radios or anything to do with S-off other than removing the "Tempered" flag from the bootloader.

I have the Ruu ready and everything, but am puzzled by trying to figure out the process/order in which I should execute commands and what they shall be to achieve my goal of absolute factory stock.

If anybody has experience filing warranty claims, feel free to chip in with your experiences, troubles and processes.

Thanks to anyone that can help,

Alex
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2496007:
Usually, as long as the defect is undeniably a hardware issue and completely unrelated to any software tampering, HTC will still honour a warranty replacement even if you have unlocked and rooted.

Before going down the road of trying to hide this (HTC will have a record of the phone’s IMEI number on the HTCDev unlocked phones list anyway) try and send this info to HTC. You may find that are happy to repair/replace it for you under warranty as it would have happened anyway even if you had left it locked down.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zisilius:
Ok then, I see. I will try to do that, but would still want to know and I believe it would help other in the future to know. How can I go back to S-on and make sure it says "locked" in the bootloader instead of "relocked".

If anybody could help, would be really welcome.

Just an info:

Getting the unlock.bin from HTC Dev doesnt mean that the phone is for sure getting unlocked. So, unless and until the phone is literally unlocked, they cannot void the warranty.

Is anyone else experiencing a lot of stuttering/lag on holo launcher? I have the player 4.2 and it is extremely slow, but I see that people with lower spec devices than mine, and similar spec devices have little to no lag at all. Does anyone know of a solution to make it at least look not as laggy? I've tried changing many settings involving scrolling cache and stuff like that for scrolling, but it doesn't help much.

[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] txordi:
Maybe it's stupid for you but clear ram does not give a boost of performance always. Can do the opposite because lots of apps (like facebook, gmail, messenger, whatsapp...) will restart after the clear making a very high cpu consumption and filling ram another time. You can try an app called greenify to prevent that user apps could restart without you allow them. If you're more experienced user tou can try autostarts.

But anyway, holo in gb with our hardware is not so fast, I think it requires a lot of cpu/gpu rendering.
