[Galaxy S 4 Active General] phel21:
OP mentions that the USB-socket is leaking. If so that's a serious design flaw. With a proper construction the socket itself should be waterproof. The flimsy cover should only be to keep conductive fluids from shortening the interface. Actually, the internals of any phone should have been vacuum-sealed at the factory. That would not only make the guts waterproof, but also resistant to moisture. Its a sad fact that most phones, including the so-called waterproof ones, contain components which are not recommended for use in environments with more than 80% humidity. That makes these gadgets not really fit for our world at all.

s4 active

Just purchased the s4 active the other day, waiting for it to arrive in the mail. After reading the post on this site, I m feeling a bit stupid that i didn't look into this before buying the phone. Sounds like it will require some maintenance, regarding the rubber seals - to stop them from drying up.

I'm interested to play with the usb flap, sounds a bit dodgy.

As for the warranty not covering water damage, i think it would be a disaster for Samsung if it did cover water damage because they would be handing out endless amounts of replacement phones, you could practically scam a new phone a year.

cheers for the info

anyone ever seen this product before(H2OFF spray made by Nanoprotech)??? might be useful in safe guarding the usb port.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thatbigmoose:
Took it in the pool today, seemed fine.

Got out, when trying to turn on the screen, the backlight would just come on but no LCD. This lasts for literally approximately 10 seconds before the LCD decides to work again. Weird, but weirder crap has happened. Chalked it up to the GPE ROM just being wonky.

See little water intrusion marks indicating water got between the LCD and digitizer(apparently this happens, even with normal use, based on posts I've read). Has happened to me and others with no problems previously. There WAS a thread on this where somebody did some nice, intelligent sounding research. Can't find it at the moment. Not concerned, continue using device.

Get home from work today, notice there's a lot more water marks on the LCD than before(these are like the actual stains you get from water damage -- the big blotches just all over the screen).

Open back cover. Water. Everywhere. Battery LDI literally like brick red. LDI on the actual device is miraculously totally fine.

This is the second Active I'm going to have to replace. On the first one the mic stopped working because, you guessed it, it became water damaged! Just the mic, nothing else. This one literally came to me, back from AT&T(I guess refurbished?) with a mic that doesn't work on speakerphone. Regular calls work but not speakerphone. I lived with it because I didn't want to return yet another device(for nearly the same exact reason) and have to restore all my settings again.

I originally advocated for this phone and chalked the fairly common failures up to user error. But now that I've gone through two of these things I can see that Samsung/AT&T intended this as more of a "test" device and weren't serious about the claims that they've made about it. I'm gonna have to go cry to the corporate overlords tomorrow in hopes of maybe just getting a regular S4 or something.

Edit: Should add that even though water got in, the device wasn't flooded in itself, but instead the indentation in the back that the battery goes into. The device still works like it did before it decided to not be water-resistant.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] The.Screemer:
They also shouldn't sell the regular S4 as a phone at all. I got mine, new out of the box.. Used it in everyday life for less than a month. Then one day I put it on a table, no I didn't throw it or hammer on it or anything. I just put it down on the table and the screen cracked from the inside. Guess what, when I called the retailer I was informed that Samsung don't warrant the screen??? I had to pay $420 to get it replaced. Then when I got it back after about 2 weeks I used it in everyday life for about a month and one time when I picked it up from my pocket it was cracked again. This time to it was cracked from the inside. And I have copter screen protection and hard case on it. I couldn't afford another $420 so I got my self a S4 active instead. At least the screen copes with everyday life on this one. :) No I haven't gone swimming with it or anything but at least it doesn't get damaged by rain and regular washing off.

Samsung really need to start addressing these kind of issues and refund/repair what was wrongly sold or they will start losing allot of customers i think. It's so sad since I loved my standard S4, but now I have grown to really like my S4 active.:)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] mymilkexpired:
Just a heads up to everyone. I've had to call in for warranty repair of the little rubber door. It detached over the weekend... The material is ridiculously thin, maybe .5mm thickness.

AT&T says its an unwarrantable problem. Manager got involved and stated the same. So I've now been passed off to Samsung for resolution. Their systems are down at the moment but I'll come back and update after I speak with them. Phone has about 6 months of usage with 2-3 charges per day at the extreme.

You should probably be fired com AT&T for smashing their product, not to mention lying. I also work for AT&T and have the s4 active. I take mine swimming all the time.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JohnCarrot:
Hey guys,

Since the new Nexus 7 has been released and the announcement of Android 4.3, I was wondering what you all think about the Nexus 5 and more importantly what version of Android it will. Obviously, since I intend to purchase the next Nexus phone, I want it to have 5.0. However, in my mind, it seems unlikely that Google would released an update to Android (granted a minor one) that would quickly be out done within 3 months. The only reason I could fathom was that it would only make sense for Google to sell the Nexus 7 (2013 edition) if it came with a new version of Android. Here's my question: Do you guys think we will see Android 5.0 be released alongside the Nexus 5 in October? or is Android 4.3 going to be the version shipping with the next Nexus flagship?

Thanks for responding,

JCarrot

So after buying a new 64 GB San Disk card and having endless problems trying to get it to format in fat32 and having it use all 64 GB on the card I found a solution. There is a great app on the Play Store called Aparted (I didn't make, just found it) that will create partitions and format them in the format you need all from your Android phone. It solved my problem and I hope that it'll help others because I wasn't able to find anything really helpful on any forum on them Internets :cool:

Yes, I'm a n00b. I did search to see if I could find this as well and did not.

So, here's the deal, when I press the power button to turn the screen on, it fades in nicely.

When I then press the power button to turn the screen off, the screen appears to compress very quickly down to a white line, then blink off. This also happens when the screen auto-off kicks in.

Here is video of what is happening:

I then went into custom recovery and cleared cache and did a factory reset there. booted phone up and everything is off the sd card. I don;t want them to type something in the browser and my porn sites come popping up in the auto fill part when searching for websites.

was there anything more I could have done.

You can reflash the ROM, which would wipe everything out. You can wipe your internal storage via recovery, also. In addition, if the phone has a Sense ROM installed you can dial ##786#, go to the menu and choose reset, which will wipe the phone clean.

NOTE: My wife was out of town with the iPhone 5 and Galaxy S4 at the time of this video, but I can confirm they work perfectly. As mentioned in the video, I did have to use the tablet version with my devices. At least on the LG Optimus G Pro it seemed to crash.

Gather you devices together. Your iPhone 5, Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One, iPad, etc. It’s time they had access to a full size SDCard, USB thumb drive, or portable hard drive. At first I thought this was simply another portable USB charger. That is just the start of it. In particular I liked the pass through Internet feature.

The video below shows you just a little of what it can do. There are applications available for Android devices, iOS, and your desktop computer.

Available on Amazon for $49.99 with free shipping… It’s a good buy for a variety of people.

Thanks for posting this. Don't exactly need this right at the moment but going to buy one anyways. Will be pretty cool to place with. I have 2 android phones, 2 laptops, a desktop and 2 android tablets. Will be a great way to share thing between all the devices. I'm currently using a app called airdroid to share things between all my devices and this will simplify everything. Wonder how well it would work leaving it plugged in all the time to power and letting all my devices connect to this instead of my normal network. I'm sure the battery won't last long being plugged in 24/7.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chrisngrod:
I guess we would hope that the device would just draw from the wall adapter as long as it was supplying over the amount required to operate the WiFi. Then the battery wouldn't be constantly drained / recharged.

Many thanks for the review

Two questions:

1. Can the device and its connected storage be accessed via my own wifi network and be accessibble as a standard network attached storage in Windows 7 without any software/ftp solution?

2. I have seen this in 2 reviews but I want to be 100% certain: I can access the SD cards/Flash drive attached to the device on my PC via USB connection to the outlet which also provides power to the device. I need to know this because I can then hook the device to my Samsung TV and access the content.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] chrisngrod:
1. It is supposed to be accessible this way. At the moment I can't get it to configure. You can modify the settings from your PC by accessing the device's IP from a web browser.

2. Yes... Just verified. Appears as a Generic USB Hub and the SDCard appears as a normal drive.
