We would like to use the XDA as an EPOS system within our mobile outlets. This would involve integrating a bar scanner and the ability to print receipts along with some basic button functionality to record sales. Has anyone any experience of using the XDA for this?

So I have a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE Version SGH-T999L d2ltetmo, and I'm running CyanogenMod 10.1.1 because my internet didn't work on 10.1.2. But anyways every time I try to send an MMS, it doesn't send. Can somebody please help me fix this? I need assistance on this badly and I would greatly appreciate if somebody could help me out.

If your current APN settings match what I've posted, the I'm not sure what the issue can be. You might want to try different ROMs to see if you are able to send MMS.

does this apn work with mms?

i remember a few months ago when i used it mms would send but i couldnt RECEIVE it.

also does this apn any faster than the org apn?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] KingKostas:
Might just be the app. Check if others are reporting it as well
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
It should work fine. I believe this goes along with all the network upgrading recently, and it'll be much faster if your area was upgraded.

If it didn't work before it was probably because your area/market hadn't been set up for it yet.

This is all just guess work, btw. I do know that what is posted is correct and should work fine for you though.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mecha2012:
For those who experience the power button failure here's an easy fix that works for me.

Determine if it a power button issue

Pull battery wait 5 seconds

Put battery back if it automatically boots up then the button is stuck on

Disassemble your phone to the motherboard

Get some WD40 yes I said it LOL

Spray a little on a table surface

Use qtips and dab a little well alot on the power button

Now keep pressing it on and off about 20 times to get the oil running

Assemble and enjoy
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] btoad:
Your instructions are not very clear. And I tried turning my partially disassembled phone on without anything touching the internal power button and the problem persisted. Does that sound like I need to get it completely replaced?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mecha2012:
If doing this and your problem still persist then yes completely replace it some of us are lucky that this alone was enoughvto fix it.

I use it with my Onkyo receiver. It has an HDMI input in the front of the receiver. It also happens to have a USB port that I use to power the Chromecast. I didn't have to go to the back of the unit at all.

Good news is that I get Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound with both Netflix and YouTube. When I do Chrome browser in my laptop the sound switches to "all channel stereo".

I don't know if you guys just prefer plugging into your receivers but if you have a TV with HDMI 1.4 you can plug the chromecast directly into your TV and audio will travel to your receiver via the "audio return channel" spec of HDMI 1.4.
[Google Chromecast] scoobdude:
Its not limited to 1.4, BUT it is limited to stereo ;)

This is the reason why some of us want it plugged into the receiver. Plus, it also means that the receiver does all the switching instead of your ps3, cbox, BD player, roku etc all going through the receiver and them the chromecast on input 2 on the tv ;) Those are my reasons anyway..even though I only have a ps3....

If so, which one?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] daledenton:
This phone is not truly waterproof/resistant!!!!!

First off I want to start this off buy saying a few things. I work for AT&T so before anyone says its from improper usage remember I had to watch training videos on how to properly use it. Also, before anyone says well, you aren't really supposed to be using it in the water, you are wrong. The first thing we are trained on is how to properly close the back cover and how to show the customers Aqua mode to take pictures underwater. We actively use this as a main selling point, this is per Samsung.

Here is my story. I bought the Active on Thursday. The first thing I did with it was ensure the back was closed and made a video in my fish tank so I could show customers how it works underwater, and how good aqua mode is. That worked out perfectly except the video was a little dark, so I figured I would retake it.

In this time I had a customer swap out the phone they bought because it were defective, the bottom buttons stopped working on it. She was very vague when the water question came up but I thought nothing of it.

Now cue today. It was sunny outside so I thought it was the perfect time to reshoot the fish tank video. I ensured the back was secure, yes, including pressing down on the back where the AT&T logo is. I then submerged the phone in the tank while taking the video. Almost instantly the phone screen went black and said dock mode was enabled so I took the phone out of the water and everything went back to normal. I double checked the USB rubber to be sure. I just chalked it up to the phone doing crazy things in the water. I have read almost everywhere that the phone will say headphones are plugged in, etc. So I thought this was normal. I then put it back in and took a minute long video. Everything was fine. I even played back the video and it was fully working.

This is where everything went wrong. About 2 minutes later the phone started tweaking out, Google now opened on its own and the buttons were really sensitive. Then the buttons completely stopped working other than the power button and that's when I freaked out. I opened the battery cover and there it was, everything was soaked. but luckily none of the water damage indicators were colored. I then opened the USB door and it was like a fountain, so that's where the breach happened. The flimsy, rubber USB door. I did not tell a soul what happened and went back to work and swapped it for a regular Galaxy S4.

So please listen to my warning. There are way too many people getting this phone damaged, including me, a fully trained AT&T employee who took the proper precautions before doing anything.

Samsung should not be able to get away with calling this phone water resistant or water proof, and they should especially not include an Aqua Camera mode.

Also the warranty DOES NOT, I REPEAT, DOES NOT COVER WATER!!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] starxgamingx:
I think it depends really, i understand where you are coming from, and you shouldnt trust it, but my friend was pushed in the pool with his and it survived without a issue
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Blue Reaper:
I've kept mine in my pocket and went for a swim in the pool. Worked fine after wiping it with a towel. You might have had a defective unit...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] thatbigmoose:
As an AT&T employee maybe you'll know the procedure for this..

I've read all the horror stories relating to the S4A, and there's been a few of them.. Is the fact that the device seems to fail often enough of a reason to exchange for a regular S4? I'm not within my 14 days anymore :/.I opted for this over S4 just because of the water resistance.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] daledenton:
And I understand that I may have a defective unit, but I have read 3 separate reviews where the reviewer damaged their first phone. There is also a thread on XDA where a bunch of people state that they damaged their phone. This in itself either says that the phone doesn't work as advertised or there are way too many defective units out there for anyone to be safe to try the water and Samsung needs to know this.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] starxgamingx:
Maybe its the other way around and my friend got a defective one thats actually waterproof :P
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Blackwolf10:
now i fell terribly sorry for who went with those ugly buttons instead of S4 :)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Kyuta Syuko:
Eh... I like the buttons...
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] scott14719:
The bottom line is that Samsung doesn't warranty the phone against water damage and therefor should Never sell it as such. If they can not stand behind an advertised function of their own product, they should not sell it. It doesn't matter if people abuse the phone in water or exceed the recommended specs (depth and length of time in water) because there is no way they can differentiate between people that stay within the specs and those that don't.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] toxicpaulution:
All I gotta say is the best way to get away with saying it is water resistance/proof would be making it like the Nexus 4 and no removable back. Make it wireless charging. Come with a wireless charger. Sd card slot and sim slot on the top or sides. Make it completely blocked off with no ports but a headphone hack the way they did making it water proof. That's the only way they can be certain its water resistant. Otherwise you have these issues.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jt3:
Yeah, I have a feeling all of these water-related failures are going to kill the S4A early. Eventually, the threat of a class action lawsuit will cause them to trigger an EOL.

I suspect this will happen sooner rather than later, since showing it dunked in water in all the commercials, but not covering water damage is just screaming "class action."

My crystal ball says that within a year, you'll see AT&T (at least) offering to waive ETF for owners of S4A units damaged by water. This may be under the terms of a Class Action, or to avoid one... but in the end, that will probably be the end of the S4A story.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
A simple solution to find out if your phone is waterproof... Turn the phone off and remove the battery, then close everything and put it in water for a few minutes. Take the phone out of the water and check to see if water got in the charging port and/or past the seal on the back. If it did get water in the device put your phone in rice for a day and return it for a working unit. If you didn't you should be fine.

If no power is going to your device it cannot short circuit. After the water is gone you can turn it on with no issues

Or maybe a recall?
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] Muhammad.Muayad:
as an owner of Galaxy S2, S3, Nexus and HTC One i have to say then Samsung products are inferior to any other manufacture,

HTC is NOT as important manufacture as Samsung but their devices are way better that Samsungs

as for water proofing Galaxy S4 Active was a clear copy of Xperia Z, since Samsung could NOT make every GS4 waterproof like SONY they made another phone and judging by experience SONY clearly made the better waterproofing,

i was in the swimming pool that day and there was Xperia Z's on the bottom of the pool (~1 to 2 meters) with NO damage,

---------- Post added at 05:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:07 PM ----------

"If no power is going to your device it cannot short circuit"

every phone has a small battery on its PCB to keep time and date if your battery drained or removed.

so a short circuit is a possibility.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
hmmm ok, never heard of that

Either way when I tried the method I posted no water got in. Still don't think I will put it in water while it is turned on

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
I'm guessing this was not AT&T? The sticker on the screen is different
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jesi:
Yep, no AT&T.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jt3:
Remember, most people with this phone have entered into a 2-year contract. Simply recalling the phone wouldn't work. They'd either have to replace it with an equivalent model or waive the ETF. The problem with the former is that they've advertised the heck out of its water resistance, selling it as "everything proof." If they were to, say, replace it with a standard S4, the consumer would have a very real argument that it's not an equivalent model, which would be ANOTHER basis for a class action.

Also, remember, recalls are done by a manufacturer. AT&T isn't going to recall a Samsung device. Samsung would have to do that. A recall would only really work if Samsung offered another phone (like an S4), AND made a deal with AT&T, compensating them to waive the ETF if the consumer didn't want that phone. This may happen, but before it does, the remaining stock would be pulled from the shelves, and the phone would be EOL.

Again, I think that marketing this phone as waterproof, but not standing behind that marketing, is eventually going to lead to a class action. A class action, or the threat of one, will result in an early death for this device. I agree with what was said before though... I don't think we'll be seeing many more phones claiming water resistance. Those that do, will be sealed, and certainly won't have removable backs.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah... saying a phone is "everything proof" and water proof is pretty stupid.. Honestly I think AT&T and Samsung could fix this in my mind just by warranty replacing water damaged S4 Actives. If they replace them in the event of water damage then we all will be happy. It doesn't happen to every unit, most users are fine in the water, but still a high percentage.

I for one love my active and the water proof was just a bonus, but I wouldn't mind them giving me my upgrade back ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] fahadsul3man:
"water-resistant.” As Samsung points out in the device’s manual, the S4 Active is rated IP67, which means that it’s resistant to water only up to depths of a little over three feet , its not water proof .
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] joshuadjohnson22:
I know that but either way. clearly it is not standing up to that promise with some users. I just typed proof because of "everything proof" but resistant is more appropriate.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
Everyone that is thinking that att and or Samsung will eventually give the active users a replacement to another phone don't get your hopes up. I don't think that will happen. We signed agreements when we got this phone. Neither party will admit this phone is faulty. It won't happen.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] jt3:
Right. This is why I don't think the problem is with Samsung, and why I doubt they'll ever issue a recall. The problem is with AT&T's marketing. Using the term "Everything Proof" was just stupid, and can cause legal issues regardless of whatever disclaimer they want to throw up at the end. Showing a phone getting doused with water a dozen times in your commercial, but then refusing to service phones with water-damage is also pretty stupid. Disclaimers don't work if they directly contradict the marketing. Had the commercials shown a phone accidentally getting wet one time, with a disclaimer shown during the scene, maybe they'd be fine... but an entire commercial dedicated to showing the phone getting wet, or even dunked in water, followed by the term "everything proof?" No disclaimer is going to help there.

It's kind of like marketing a tire as "never flat," showing it rolling over nails, spike strips, etc., then refusing to honor any warranties based on puncture damage.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] yankeesfan714:
They replaced my s4A after just 4days of ownership. I dunked my phone in a Styrofoam cup half full with water and the phone leaked into lower rh battery compartment.

[Galaxy S 4 Active General] cardinalryan:
Absolutely dreaming.

The last thing AT&T will do is waive ETF fees...not happening. Also, there is no class action suit to be had here. Samsung does not state that this is waterproof...they simply state water resistant and there is quite a difference between the two.

No, I don't work for Samsung and I don't work for AT&T...as a matter of fact, I don't have the S4 Active, but I have to chuckle a bit at how some people on these boards act as if their experience is the experience every member of the public is having. Reality is that the Active, from most mainstream reports, seems as if it is being received quite well.

What I was trying to say was that I highly doubt that they will do a recall on the Active and let us all pick out another phone. I should of stated that better in my original post.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] crispy1805:
It's not that the phone doesn't work as advertised. It's that there are obviously some defective units. Water damage is a easy way to deny this (and a replacement) and place blame on the user. AT&T told me that I would have to pay $200 for a replacement unit. Yea right....the phone is under a month old.

And oddly, none of the water indicators on the phone are pink. The one on the battery is though.
[Galaxy S 4 Active General] :
Even though this was advertised as a waterproof phone I didn't buy it for that. I got mine because I liked the original S4 but I thought the Active was built better and I liked the fact that it had a lcd screen so you could see it in the daylight. I for one would never try to take pictures under water. I knew going in to this that if it did get any water damage that the warranty would be thrown out.

I remember reading somewhere in the Captivate forums that you can use a little bleach and a q-tip to turn the pink indicator white again.
