[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gillion:
Firstly it is impossible to scratch the LENS (its nestled deep in the phone)

What you will scratch is just the lens cover.

Secondly Get a nice case.

Other than that it is VERY UNLIKELY to scratch that lens cover unless you rub it against quartz filled beach SAND or any other mineral that has a Mohs Hardness value significantly higher than the glass cover.

Relax and don't be paranoid.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayanan:
Thank you, then will scratching the lens cover affect the picture quality?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gillion:
Not unless it is horribly scratched.

By the way the S4 is normally shipped with a thin plastic membrane on the "lens"

Unless you removed it it should still be there.

I keep mine on until it gets dirty or worn then tear it off and do without.

Sometimes lens may get scratched.. My SGS I9000 camera became useless because of that.. Lens is so badly scratched.. Changing back cover does not help since lens cover is mounted in faceplate / housing.. :( I really do take care of it..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayanan:
This is what scares me, because even though I use a case, sand may still scratch the lens while the phone is in my pocket.

You can buy a replacement lens cover for as little as $5 US on eBay.

Is it possible to replace the lens cover?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tclocki:
One of the best lessons in life I learned was - the more you protect your device, the more it gets scratched. :) (Its got a second meaning into it actually)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] titus1:
I usually buy a screenprotector for small screen phones. Then painstakingly do-a-DIY. Cutting it to the size of the lens cover. It doesn't have to be perfect as long as it covers most of the surface. You have to be sure what's the side to be be laid on the surface of the lens. And no, it doesn't affect the quality of the photos. I've also been paranoid about scratching the glass of the camera for that's exactly what happened with my HTC Desire ages ago. I also put screenprotector on the lens of my Nokia N8. So there...

Is it easy to change?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oracle01642:
What I want to know is, is the glass covering the lens of the camera also gorilla glass 3 like the phones screen?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oracle01642:
So does anyone know if the camera has the same gorilla glass 3 as the screen? I have tried to find out elsewhere, but I have found nothing.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
To be honest not sure but I can say that the S4 lens stays much cleaner than any of the lenses on the S1, S2 or S3 that I have also owned. I always thought those had a plastic lens while the S4 seems like glass.

I use a replacement back cover (no case) which sits a mm higher than the lens. It protects the lens from scratching when I put it down. It also shows no fingerprints which is my biggest gripe with the stock cover.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.m0x:
If you really want to protect it while not in use, invest in a Griffin Survivor case. They have a flap which covers the camera when it's not in use.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sxi200:
Actually this YouTube video shows the guy remove the silver surround and the glass of the camera. At about the 11 minute mark. Not to hard I think!

Remove the back housing and then the board to remove the camera. Don't think you need to do all the other stuff like removing the charger port. Just unclip it from the main board.

Excellent video by the way!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] mc_becker56:
I just bought a used Note 2 yesterday and am looking to root it. It is completely stock 4.1.2 right now. I am looking to downgrade to the root injected 4.1.1 so I can access the hidden menu to unlock it for other carriers. 4.1.2 doesn't have the right options in the menu to achieve that.

With that being said, I just want to be sure, being COMPLETELY stock 4.1.2 right now like I am; I can flash the root injected stock 4.1.1 ROM via odin with no issues? I don't need root PRIOR to flashing 4.1.1 by doing the CF Auto Root? Thanks a lot in advance.

Where did you get the liquid smooth rom?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mg2195:

Have you tried download mode?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] LeonKnight12:
I downloaded a 2.9 rom for att only

1. I wipe factory reset coming from different rom

2. I install liquid smooth

3. I install loki

4. hit reboot

5. it ask for fix for root, i slide it to fix.

6. bam! screen went black!

If all of this cant be fixed, I have to take it back to att for replacement and act dumb. I have last day to return today. 14 policy is about to expire 11:59. I had it since July 15.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
If you can't even get any power and can't get into down load mode then you probably are not going to get it fixed. Have you tried odin and seen if it will recognize the device?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Dnice25:
If you could get into download mode then your not in trouble just reflash stock via odin?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] LeonKnight12:
Odin do not detect my phone. It SOL! I went to att today. They told me it was SOL too because this device won't boot into recovery or download. Nothing was turning on. So it was replaced by warranty. I told them I rooted it (not playing dumb here at this time) and they replaced it.

Does rooting void warranty right? I don't get it? But I remember on another forums said rooting does not void warranty? Unless they see custom device and unlocked boot loader void warranty?

Can someone explain clearly?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Aou:
In almost any situation, operating a device in a way other than the manufacturer intended will void the warranty. In the case of AT&T's warranty, they may have explicit clauses against jailbreaking, rooting, and firmware modification in general. In the terms of the manufacturer's warranty, they might even allow for root, but I'm not sure on this. I once saw someone (reputable dev) post that rooting by itself is not an automatic void. They have to prove that what you did broke your device (which it sounds like what you did probably borked it).

If someone has a rooted device, and suddenly the battery explodes or the LED light stops working (on an otherwise stock rom), then it's kinda hard for them to point at "you rooted it" as being the problem.

But yeah, best to look up the verbage in the warranty, to be sure.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CZ Eddie:
What ROM was on there before you flashed liquid?

And what recovery?

I ask because when flashing AT&T liquid on TWRP at least, you don't flash loki and you also don't get prompted to install root. Not even after a full wipe of EVERYTHING.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] LeonKnight12:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tuxing:
hi,

Have been using s4 i9500 since 1 month now.

phone screen keeps waking up frequently and randomly from lockscreen. also while using the phone,

screen suddenly just blinks very briefly and shows another app or the s-view lockscreen and returns back to the app being used.

This issue occurs commonly when connected to mobile data network and is rare when phone is connected to wifi.

i have disabled all s-fancy options, nfc, s-view accessory wakeup etc.i dont have s-view cover.

phone is currenly on INDIAN MG5 firmware and the problem has persisted from the original firmware of phone DDUAMDK

through all the updates in july to the current Mg5.i always do clean install of new firmwares with factory reset, system wipe, sd card wipe.

it happens irrespective of being rooted or custom kernels or custom roms.

Gsm signal seems to be bad compared to my iphone and my previous s3.

anybody had this issue.

any suggestions?

Hey Guys,

i want to buy a new Tablet soon. But I cant choose which device I should buy.

I heard the new Nexus 7 has a Snapdragon 600 not S4 Pro, just underglocked.

But is the new Nexus 7 faster than the Nvidia Shield ?

Thank you
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] Username invalid:
Wait for custom kernels to come out to see how much we can overclock the new Nexus 7.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TeamEquinox:
Okay thanks for the Answer but what do you think could be faster? When Shield and Nexus 7 would be Overglocked which one would have more Performance?
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] turdbogls:
the Shield for sure. the S4 Pro is a last gen processor. the T4 is still pretty new.

however, there are things to consider.

the New N7 is a tablet first, gaming "rig" second. its vice versa for the Shield.

the N7 is more portable

the N7 has a MUCH nicer screen

the Shield should only be bought if you plan on JUST playing games on it...something like a PS vita/Nintendo DS replacement. if you plan on using it for videos, surfing, other apps, i would stick with the N7.

my new N7 plays games beautifully....and honestly, I'm not sure i could tell the difference between it, and a T4 powered device. But I'm not one to get too cought up in the Frame Rate debate. the new one looks fantastic compared to my old N7, which looked fantastic compared to my galaxy nexu.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] TeamEquinox:
Hey i still have a old N7. But hasnt Tegra some Special effects on games? And is it possible to use These on a Nexus 7?

Most likely not.
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] IRX120:
No, the teardown reveals it is a s4 pro, I have a nexus 4, the s4 pro works best at 1.7ghz, for me, overclocking to 1.8 or higher actually makes the chip slower. The tegra 4 destroys the s4 pro, just because it is newer, just like the s800 desteroys the pro/s600. I have yet to get this tablet, but I suspect it is a lot faster than the tegra 3 of the original nexus 7

Oh? I'm confused then? So it is an s4? but a different one?

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus VZW @1.72 GHz on Stock 4.3
[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] albundy2010:
Something like that. Its called one but its not one if that makes sense. Seems Qualcomm doesn't want to give the 600 name for anything under 1.7 GHz.

The naming scheme Qualcomm is using is nuts. But it is really essentially a 1.5 GHz snapdragon 600.

[Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A] DT84:
The iFixit teardown of the Galaxy S4 shows a chip named APQ8064, even if it's a Snapdragon 600.

Probably, it's just a new Snapdragon 600 version, made to run at 1.5 GHz.

I'm having a problem when someone calls, I can't hear them but they can hear me. Once I soft reset, everything's peachy. Just today I used my phone (pda2k with i-mate 1.40 rom) several times. Everything was fine. I turned the flight mode a couple times today. Then, I turned on flight mode, let the phone sit for a while and had an incoming call...I couldn't hear them. I told them to call back in 5 minutes. I tried calling another number but couldn't hear anything, did a reset and everything was fine.

This has happened before and after the 1.40 upgrade. Anyone have any reason why?? I've tried turning the flight mode off and back on, but that didn't help either.

Delete Run_BTTrayCE_10.lnk from your Windows\Startup folder and soft reset. Now you wont have the BT icon on the tray bar, but you wont have the no sound problem. If you still need bluetooth you can start it from the Windows directory as BTTrayCE.lnk.

Re: Solution

Unfortunately for me this actually triggers the no sound issue! My device is fine until the first time I use bluetooth then I can almost 100% guarantee that the next call will be silent.

As stated before with the 1.40.00 rom, this issue is certainly linked to the Bluetooth driver, perhaps on use it is switching audio to their driver for headset use and not restoring it?

I get this problem a lot when I've had the phone on silent or vibrate and then change it back. I think it mainly happens when I receive a call after this rather than make an outgoing one but after the 1st call even outgoing ones have no sound.

It sounds daft but after a couple of months where I reset whenever it happened I just by chance hit the volume slider & sure enough the in call volume was turned right down. It's worth checking as it's an easy fix for me!!

The solution for the problem could be to not run the BT driver. Anyway it's possible to delete from startup the dirver and to run when it need (for GPS or headset...)..

Strange but due to this I am really thinking to replace it by a P910I, as a phone should be able to pick-up calls. I haven't decided because the 9090 is a great machine.

Using the XDA IIs.

Until we get a proper fix, I am using the manual Run_BTTray method to turn on the BT if I need to use my headset.

So what I do is, (a) normally, no BT tray, (b) to use my BT headset, use Run_BTTray to turn on BT tray, (c) use ATBluetooth to actually turn on and off the BT radio, and finally (d) soft-reset to remove the BT Tray when I'm done.

I know it sounds complicated, but is ok after I assign the commands to my buttons (XDA IIs, plenty of buttons!).
