I wouldn't mind having an LG G2, but I'm curious to see what the Nexus 5 will be like. Or anything with a Snapdragon 800.

I got my S4 second hand, and it was updated all the way to MF3, so I was only able to root it but not install a custom recovery :(

I'm currently in Japan and will be in Korea soon, so I won't be able to get any US carrier phones for a while.

I'm somewhat disappointed now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] shuweee:
I'm planning on giving up my S4 as soon as blackberry Z30 comes out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] twinsfan14:
A blue HTC One with an actual menu button.

I tested the S4 and One extensively before I got the S4. Absolutely no regrets whatsoever. The One is a superb phone, but for my personal usage, the S4 works best for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Skizzy034:
The HTC One software updates, along with most all the custom roms now have the option to long press the home button to access menu. It's stock from HTC. Custom kernels allow you to use the logo as the menu button. They both work really well and you get used to it. It shouldn't be a complaint against the One anymore or a reason not to buy it.

Thinking of going back to Apple if the new iphone is around 4.5inches... the lag/choppiness on Android is driving me nuts.. and BT problems, no USB audio support and the fact I need 5 different apps to keep the phone running fast and not eat my battery is ridiculous... really regretting giving android a chance.

it's user error that the OS has lag issues which is a known weak point of Android?

I'm not buying HTC ever again (4.2.2 is STILL not out yet) and LG is just plain trash. Moto X is overpriced and underspecced.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] joshuadjohnson22:
I would be tempted to go with the LG G2 if it is nice
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Monkz:
I'm assuming this thread is more based on what phone you would get that is currently out and not to be out, and i personally wouldn't give up my phone for anything. If i had to go to another device though, i would probably say HTC One, but it would hurt me every single time i looked at it and compared it to the S4 that i had. I would hate going from pure butter smoothness to something far less perfect, i would miss the SuperAMOLED Display, I would miss KToonsez's Kernels, and i would miss all the great ROMS available for the S4. I think its one of the more customizeable devices, and i love having all the options.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] galaxyjeff:
I think the moto x might be the best phone to get if the gs4 wasn't around. But maybe the htc butterfly s would be the best currently.

agreed. at least by moto for sure. right now expandable storage lets me throw in a 64gb card and now i can use my s4 as my mp3 player. being able to swap in a battery means that it can handle heavy usage scenarios like playing all my music during a commute while browsing the web.

Having destroyed my Nexus 4's digitizer due to my car key and the nexus having a battle in my pocket, I have never enjoyed a phone like I did that nexus 4. I don't think I will ever find a better phone. Welllll maybe the next Nexus. I miss my nexus :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] RAID Xero:
Do you ever stop posting about your Nexus? Your other thread got locked because of this. How about you go back to the Nexus section. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] willblake13:
The other thread was locked due to it being perceived as negativity, something you seem to be exhibiting a lot of right now. I simply gave my take on the OP's question. There is no need to go starting fights.

Why not just sell your S4 and buy one then? You'll end up making a profit...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] WizeGuyDezignz:
After all of this back and forth and trying to decide, I am most likely trading my S4 for a HTC One on Friday. I am finally just sick and tired of the lag and stutters that randomly show up on this phone.

I've tried every rom and kernel combo possible and it still shows up. And I hate vanilla android, so I won't go that route. I can't believe a phone with these specs can still lag. I know people won't agree with me, but I'm tired of it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] cybershawngates:
samsung all the way, this is my second in the galaxy s series. Amoled makes the screen just pop the other phones and tablets just look very boring so

I think I'm gonna do the same thing. You think someone would trade a 64GB HTC One for 32GB SGS4?

No what I'm saying is I have a 32gb S4 and am looking to trade someone for an HTC One
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Dean1650:
I completly understand. I have purchased many samsung devices. Now that they are seem intent on helping the carriers lock up their devices, I am finished with samsung. I was waiting for the Note 3, but att has already said it would be bootloader locked. Now waiting for the HTC One Max

dean1650 from xda premium
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Locoman_:
.. so you're leaving att and not going for Verizon too, right? bootloader locking all new devices.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Lindsay02:
I have issue of camera lagging of my S4 before. Sometimes, it takes seconds to focus the object when the camera is first started. But I accidentally found that if I disable the "Face detection" in the settings menu, it seems become much quicker to focus and seem camera lagging issue is gone so far in my S4.

I still need more testings to confirm if it really works or not. If you have camera lagging issue, try to see if turning off face detection settings improve it or not.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] fredrick1213:
Unless the Note 3 offers something truly amazing, I'll be going with the HTC One Max

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] galaxyjeff:
If you're not running the mf3 update I can understand you having lag. If you do update though you'll have the boot loader exploit patched. I'd say the s4 is still the better of the two between the HTC one and s4. HTC one has hardware problems and still is running android 4.1 stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] eluno:
i guess if i forced to pick another phone i would get a note3 or GS5:)

Also, you can just do

And that should get you all your stuff from your sdcard. You won't be able to wipe it as is though, you at least need to flash a custom recovery and then I can help you out with that.

1. When Im in a strong WiFi area with 3g/4g enabled and mobile data says "disconnected" will this impact my battery more than if u just left WiFi on only?

2. Does a nfc toggle exist in the play store?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] raptoro07:
You can install eqs mod or a Rom with it built in.

but it's ok to eat fish cause they don't have feelings.....
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
1. Yeah, I'm pretty sure "disconnected" uses more power than "off". WiFi does that, so logic dictates mobile data does that too. But I could be wrong.

2. Have you tried power toggles? Just stay away from their data and LTE toggles. People have reported that turning off LTE with the power toggles destroys the radio. (Permanently turned off). Just use the other toggles. Or you could use Floating toucher. Check it out. Its hard to explain what it is...
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] racingmatt1:
How would it "destroy" the radio
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sauprankul:
Its not confirmed, and many people have been able to toggle data/LTE with no problems.

The radio would essentially turn off and never turn back on.

I dunno. You can go ahead and try it. Chances are nothing bad will happen. If it was so common, then we would be seeing a lot more of it.

hi guys,

I have a galaxy s3, in Canada, and cannot flash the newest AOKP (aokp_d2att_ota-eng-task650_7.20.2013b), I downloaded the I747MVLDLK4_aio.tar.md5 file and flashed it with odin as per instructions, then did a format,cache wipe/dalvik wipe, then try and write the new ROM, and all i get is error 7! ive tried it a few times! All i can say is im sure glad i did a NAND backup before i tried.

i dont understand whats wrong? i wasnt sure if i did the bootloader file right, but i followed directions, i put the phone in write mode, opened odin, clicked PDA, chose the file, and it wrote fine.no errors or anything. is there something i maybe missed?

can someone help me out?

TIA,

GINNZ
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mpulford311:
Maybe check to see if you have the latest recovery installed
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
If you're in Canada chances are you're running the d2can recovery that the phone wants. You need to flash either the d2att recovery Odin from the twrp website or do a quick search for the latest tarp or cwm flashable zip files.

Status 7 can be

a) out of date bootloader

b) out of date recovery

or for Canadians

c) d2can recovery when the Roms are requiring d2att
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ginnz:
Ok, thanks, I had an older version of AOKP running, which was released in December or so, and the recovery flashed was "RecoveryGalaxyS3USCanada.tar", I thought the new I747M4LDLK4 file was all i needed to flash this newer rom?

What exactly do i need? Im sorry for so many questions, but this just isnt making sense to me.... I managed to root the phone initially last year, and havn't done anything with it since.

so what is the newer I747M4LDLK4 file that i flashed with Odin for? Is the recovery initially flashed not the right one? if not, which one is needed, and how do i flash it? Id imagine with Odin, if so, do i just flash it the same as the I747M4LDLK4 file (PDA)?

im almost there, i just need a small push in the right direction....

Thanks for all your help so far, and please bare with me. I was an Apple jailbreaker for years, so this stuff is pretty foreign to me still. :)

---edit---

ok, so i went to twrp and found 2 recovery's, one is "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-d2att.tar" and one is "openrecovery-twrp-2.6.0.0-d2can.tar", this is where im confused, should i flash the "d2att", or the "d2can"? I mean, im in Canada, on MTS, and flashed the I747M4LDLK4, which was meant for Canada already....

also, can someone please clarify what the I747M4LDLK4 file is? it clearly states that canadian users MUST flash this before flashing the new AOKP, as it wont wont flash without it.... I did that, and still get Error7, now im looking at a new "recovery" as well, as i hope this will fix my error 7 issue. No where in the massive AOKP thread did it say that a different recovery would be needed as well, only the new I747M4LDLK4_aio.tar.md5 file!

so, anyways, if i flash a new recovery, (all i need to know is which one at this point), then i should be able to flash the new (AOKP) rom? i really dont wanna brick this thing, and i wish there wasnt so much confusion with the d2att/d2can files. it would seem completely logical that i would need the d2can file, but who knows, .... there was some sort of error on my phone when i tried to flash the ROM last night and d2att was in it somewhere......

im assuming the I747M4LDLK4_aio.tar.md5 is the bootloader, if so, i have the most recent one flashed now, so i must be getting the error because my recovery is out of date? i think im almost there, all i need is to know which recovery to flash, and i should be golden! the original recovery that is on the phone now from my first AOKP flash is "RecoverygalaxyS3USCanada.tar"

Ginnz.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] KorGuy123:
Okay, first thing first. You are reading WAY TOO MUCH into this, You need to slow down and do some reading on what is what for your phone.

There is no confusion about d2can and d2att in here. Here it is as simple as I can explain.

You live in Canada (as do I) our phones are SGH-I747M when you install a custom recovery (Clockworkmod or TWRP) The phone is registered as a Canadian model. The developers on this forum build ROMS for d2att only. They just happen to work on our phones as they are identical. To be able to flash these ROMS on our Canadian phones you have to flash the d2att recovery (Clockworkmod or TWRP)

So my suggestion was to make sure you have flashed the d2att recovery to your phone. You can get the Odin files from the websites or a quick search here would get you the flashable .zip files you would flash in recovery like a ROM (no wiping needed though)

Anything on THIS FORUM ONLY will not brick your device. Anything labelled under anything outside this forum ie. i9300 (International S3) or the other carriers will cause harm to your phone and you'll be a sad panda.

I747M4LDLK4 is your bootloader.

If you were to flash a US bootloader on your phone you'll be a sad panda.

The newer ROMS are requiring an updated bootloader to work properly. The newest Canadian bootloader MF1 still won't work for most of these ROMS so don't update it that far.

I don't know what else to suggest.

There are 2 main reasons for status 7 (3 if you're on a Canadian carrier which you are)

[MENTION=4853127]KorGuy123[/MENTION]

Nice job on the explanations. Many Users (none of which are obviously in this section of course :p) would see that he was running a version of Task's ROM from December and jumped all over him. Keep up the good work.

OP ~ KorGuy123's last post points out to what a Status 7 recovery error is. Most of the times Status 7's are mainly due to Recovery issues. Bootloader issues will usually throw a [getprop ro.bootloader] error instead of a Status 7 just for future reference.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] ginnz:
Thanks for bearing with me guys!!! I got it. as was stated, i was overthinking the whole thing! i flashed a new recovery .d2att, and all went fine!

Anyone else have an issue with the volume muting itself sometimes and not allowing it to increase? Happened when I used "volume ace", but I deleted that a while ago and it's still doing it. Have to restart the phone and then it corrects it. Also, sometimes after setting my profile to silent and then back to normal, my ringtone volume is super loud and I have to readjust it.

Also, my Google sync always says it's experiencing problems and will be back later, is that normal?

I've been having terrible charge times for the last week or two. I don't know if I should trust the Galaxy Current Charging app or not, but assuming it works correctly I can only get 0.6A charging rate in AC mode. I've tried several different combinations of OEM and aftermarket chargers and cables and with all of them the best i can get is the 0.6A. If I go PC mode I get the 0.5A rate.

I've combed through the forums and haven't found anything that seems applicable to my situation. I'm running stock with the latest updates and no root. I just took the phone apart, pulled the charging board and sprayed inside the micro-usb with electronics cleaner. It wasn't dirty but I figure it can't hurt. I then pulled and reconnected every connector I could locate just to make sure everything is tight.

I want to get this resolved, but I am against buying parts for the hell of it. My current charging board looks to be in perfect condition, so I would feel kind of stupid changing it only to have no difference in results.

Anyone have any advice? (besides mentioning cables or chargers. i assure you that has been eliminated from the equation.)
