[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChongWiz:
Thanks for all replies, but I would like to know what do you think will games be optimized for the i9500 because I think it has lot of untamed power inside, but i think samsung is not taking advantage of the power of the Exynos 5410 and the PowerVR gpu maybe because it would be more powerful than the i9505. For example the iPad 3, which is a really good gaming device, uses a PowerVR SGX543MP4 which can handle only half of the number of the triangles S4's gpu can handle, but still performs better in games due to the lack of optimizition. It is pathetic in my opinion that such titles as Asphalt 7 and Real Racing 3 are not optimized for i9500 at all. I want to ask what do you think? Will these titles be optimized ever for i9500? Don't get me wrong I think the i9505 is a beast too, but I don't see so much potential in it.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andymihail:
As it had been announced, there are already good successor of S4 SOCs.

There is a new Exynos and then you also have the Snapdragon 800.

The gaming may or may not be optimized for S4 versions, since it all depends on the game producers.

Regarding the games on i9500, it has been said it runs smoother than i9505.

I personally wouldn't buy a smartphone for gaming capability, since the android has a limited number of good games and quite often I find that I enjoy better an adventure game than a car racing simulator.

For the money you spend on an S4, you can get a good gaming console and never get bored.

Then again, if you didn't buy a phone yet, and you can afford to wait a little, you can probably buy an improved version of S4 this autumn.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] hovercraftdriver:
Which network type are you goes showing and what rom? And more importantly does it make a difference? I've found a lot of different opinions on the subject but nothing concrete, so i am still confused...

My phone is telling me my network type is LTE 14 (VZW remix rom). All the literature I read says VZW LTE band is 13. Both are in the 700 MHz range. Is there truly a difference in performance, or is there some code in this ROM that is registering as/simply making it think it is LTE 14 when it is truly on LTE 13. The only reason I care, is I got a highly rated signal booster for my office at work and have it set up in optimum conditions, and it made absolutely no difference. After reading the booster literature, it says it is for VZW LTE 13 band, so wondering if the phone is truly seeing LTE 14 and screwing up the whole setup, or what else might be the issue? Thanks for any suggestions.
[HTC One S] RTNetwork:
First off I have to say this is my first post here. I am a long time user of these forums and I cannot praise them for all the great stuff here. I have used them for my Galaxy Nexus and now my Nexus 4. However, my wife's One S is having some problems.

With the OTA of JB it started to act funny, losing and disabling WiFi. So naturally I decided to root the phone and try some other ROMs and see how that worked out. I did take a nan droid backup at almost every step, except just before I rooted it. I attempted to send it back for repair and they denied it saying the phone was tampered, naturally.

I would like to try running it on stock rom, but I do not have the ruu and do not have a nandroid backup before I rooted it. My rooted nandroid back is throwing errors on start up and generally acting not very nice.

Anyone having a bell stock nandroid willing to share with me would be appreciated. I wish I never did the ota of jb... Hind sight is always 20-20 I guess.

Any help would be appreciated.

[HTC One S] khan.orak:
Tell you what, I have the same problem and even the same carrier phone, BELL HTC One S.

The missing RUU for JB is such a pain. Though I didn't face any problems with WiFi or data connection.

I have rooted my phone and don't have a pre-root nandroid backup.

But here is what you can do to bring it back top stock ICS/JB.

1. S-OFF using moonshine method. (It supports BELL firmware 3.16.666.9 JB)

2. Run an ICS RUU which is present there for BELL.

Afterwards, you can decide whether you want to stay on ICS or update to JB via OTA on phone. Then you can make a nandroid backup too and S-ON back again.

Good luck.
[HTC One S] RTNetwork:
I was not aware we had a method to s-off once we moved to jb. I'll look into that. Thank you!

Is it worthwhile to super cid, then?
[HTC One S] khan.orak:
No no, we don't need to superCID at all. And i would definitely advise against it for any reason add many people have reported bricks with SuperCID. Moonshine method is good, try that.

Though it has been reported successful with Ubuntu and other Linux distro's more often than with windows. HTC Sync Manager poses problem.

Study the thread, you'll get ample info.

Good luck

You might also want to study this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2164783 thread.

Couple of guys recently reported they had success flashing the OTA.zip which is available for BELL JB. The guide is for the S3 variant but the principle is same since you are on stock JellyBean.

Though if you want to revert to ICS you have to follow the method I advised in my previous post.

If you really want it, install Kies on your pc, connect your phone and pc via USB and let it patch it. Like was said above, it will unroot your phone... however, if you're not rooted, no worries.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ahura999:
Hey there guys, I'm relatively new to all this rooting and such. I have a rooted ATT s4. I have titanium backup (I just don't know too much about Roms, flashing, and custom recoveries). Anyway, as I saw the update, I went and started the update. Meanwhile updating, I came across a page saying it broke root...it kept updating though so I frantically thought of things I could do to stop it and simply used titanium backup to freeze the att updater app. If I unfreeze it, it will resume downloading from where it left off. I have downloaded folder mount, set CPU, and I don't think I've flashed anything...I don't even know what it means...but yeah, I really envy the better quality of the photo taking and HDR recording as well as the better memory usage and lag removed with the update...is there a way to keep root and have the updated firmware...keep in mind I'm still a noon so please use non geeky terms...thanks and any help is appreciated...(is there a way to cancel the ATT update progress so I don't have to keep the app frozen through titanium backup?) Thanks again
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
here is geek terms for you, you should have read in the many threads about this, you are now stuck on the update, no going back, there is a root method in the works right now, maybe released already, keep searching the general thread, there is something on the root. Sorry, but giving it to you straight, don't take it wrong. Always READ before you even look at doing something to your phone, I CAN NOT STRESS how important that is.

Good luck.

[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DynamiteAndy:
Hi,

Currently I am running omega v16 and have the kernel N.E.A.K.

Now I plan on updating to omega v17 but before I do so I plan on formatting internal memory using this method. Which I found in another topic on this forum.

1. Go to CWM Recovery

2. Go to Mount

3.Format sdcard

4. DOne

After that, I plan on putting my new 64gb memory card in and upgrading to omega 17.

However, I was just wondering is there anything I need to do before hand to be safe such as flash a stock kernal or something?

Many thanks.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Berties123:
New Jirau G3S. A few times now if I press and hold a key on the virtual keyboard the detected key flashes everywhere, and garbage appears on the box. When it's working normally it just keeps that last letter.

What are possible causes? I'm trying a ROM restore and a reset. It has a screen protector but it's been working fine with the protector on it.
[Sony Xperia ZL] cafealpha:
I got the screen protector film replaced last night as preapplied one got scratched and dirty.

First, it was extremely hard to remove the preapplied film (guess its shatter proof).

Second, believe or not, the viewing angle and contrast on the screen seem to be a lot better with a new film.

My new one is xtreme guard clear. Especially contrast is better. Viewing angle might be mu subjective opinion.. but it feels better now. (I was skeptical and disappointed about its viewing angle, so I can tell I feel it)

Just wondering how anyone who did the same thinks.

(Not saying sony put imperior film on purpose)
[Sony Xperia ZL] andes85:
I put on a skinomi one, and yeah, looks much better. Sony wanted me to take my device to TX (I'm in Chicago) for a $200 repair to replace that film. I told em nah, Amazon has $5 films.
[Sony Xperia ZL] spielnicht:
I removed the OEM screen protector on my first ZL and I regretted it to no end. True I got rid of the excessive dust, which was the sole reason I did it, but in place I got a screen that became a fingerprint magnet, even with an aftermarket screen protector. The thing is, the original screen protector is oleophobic coated, where as the actual screen isn't, nor are any (as far as I know) aftermarket screen protectors.

When I got my replacement ZL...I got it in white instead of black, and surprisingly it's much, much less of a dust magnet (at least I can't see it) and so I kept the original screen protector and thus keeping the finger prints away.
[Sony Xperia ZL] cafealpha:
Yeh it feels better when touching the original film. Qualitywise.. not sure about it(optical quality).

Compared to the new one, it looks dull , unsaturated.

(But I still miss clean look on original one. I wouldn't attempt to change if it didnt get scratched all around corners)
[Sony Xperia ZL] cafealpha:
Yeh..

I would recommend something cost more than 3 bucks..

Xtreme films cost $2-3 when there is a 80% off promotion. I believe they have it once a month..
[Sony Xperia ZL] juttenbella:
yeaa!
[Sony Xperia ZL] coilbio:
I removed mine too. The screen looks much better with the protector off, especially contrast.

I used a blow dryer on low to warm it up and the film just peeled off surprisingly smooth with very little residue.

I used alcohol on a cotton ball and cleaned the screen, it came out real smooth.

I'm going to keep it bare for a while and slip in my Water Field sleeve when i put it in my pocket.

I really want one of those glass screen protectors but they don't make them for the ZL.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Andre Verissimo:
Did you notice any difference about viewing angles and touch responsiveness, too?
[Sony Xperia ZL] asilviug:
I have removed my screen protector today and I, personally, like it better now. The responsives of the screen remains the same. It seems a bit more vivid now and I think the viewing angles are a little better as well.

I will update my feedback soon.

So far I recommend the removal...

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] schleppy:
Any idea why my replacement GNex reboots randomly, many times a day? It will be sitting in my pocket, screen off, and I will feel it vibrate. Look at the phone, it's at the Google logo rebooting. Also, if I'm outside on cell data, streaming music with the screen off, it will die in a few minutes.

I did some digging and someone said there is a location bug in 4.2.2, and it is causing certain GNexs to act like this. This morning I shut off all location services and disabled Google Now. My phone lasted the whole day without a single reset, and I was able to stream music.

Is anyone aware of a fix for this? It seems to be an issue on my phone in stock 4.2.2, stock+franco kernel, and CM 10.1.

Thanks!

Guys just try this tweak by flashing once and I guarantee that you ll experience that so called buttery smoothness both in apps as well as games. This collection of tweaks contains all the required stuff so that u don't have apply each tweak separately.

Recommended that no tweaks are applied before. Uninstall seeder if u have installed. Entropy values should not have been modified.

Just download the tweak and flash it in the recovery. You must have at least 10mb according to the developer. I recommend u to delete some useless stuff like Apollo, android keyboard,etc. U can install those stuff like normal apks.

If you want to verify that the tweaks are working just open terminal emulator and type:

Su

Directinject

Set the min free values according to how u deal with apps by typing:

Su

Rambooster

Type the following in the same to achieve zero lag in the ui:

Su

Entro

That's it! Experience real working tweak!

Tested on cm9 build 9, cm10.1 beta1.

Links:

http://www.mediafire.com/download/uuftg1nniz958ok/direct_inject_turbo_v3.0.0_official_release.zip

Do press thanks button in the developer post before downloading the tweak.

:D:D:D

If you are trying to use this tweak on phones with overclocked kernels, just copy all the stuff from system folder to the respective folders in your phone and set the permissions(check all the boxes using root explorer). Use 600mhz while transferring stuff into system partition. Use any root apps to clear dalvik cache.

[HTC Pico (Explorer)] goateegauti:
In simple words u just don't know how to flash.

Like I said around 10mb must be free according to developer. But the quality of the recoveries we use just won't fill the memory completely. So delete all the unwanted stuff like wallpaper apks, media files, boot animation, unwanted language packs, etc. Just make the ROM look slim. Flash it. If it boots then flash gapps. If it is flashed properly, then flash that kernel. If your phone works correctly without any apps force closing, then reboot to recovery and flash the stuff.

U can install all those stuff u deleted later. [MENTION=1007992]everyone[/MENTION] just don't post stuff like ROM not booting, etc,etc. First confirm whether the rom is booted and then flash this stuff.
[HTC Pico (Explorer)] Deic:

No problem bro, but the real problem is that dalvik-cache can't wiping in recovery (because it's on SD partitions xD...) and it does that has problems.

And script's logs I think that it can make problems if it isn't in /data/direct_inject/ folder :) because are programmed for write in these files and if aren't can mean that do the system unstable.
