[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Oniyuri:
Personally, I find that the build quality for the S4 is pretty okay (in the almost 2 wks that I've owned this phone). The SAMOLED cracking problem also worried me but what I surmise is that the problem is caused by 1 of 3 things: improper cases (or lack thereof) for the phone size, wearing restrictive clothing or extreme temperature fluctuation (from ice cold to hot). With enough applied pressure, I can see the phone twisting thereby allowing the SAMOLED to give and crack without breaking the gorilla glass. In order to counter that, I opted to get a rugged, more sturdy case (Otterbox Defender) than my usual TPU ones. It does provide a bit of comfort because this thing has a hard shell on the inside and I don't feel like the phone will try to conform to the shape of my leg when in my jeans pocket. As for the extreme temperatures, it never actually got very cold this winter, so I'm not to worried about coming into the house from out in the cold.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dr.wtf:
while i read that some people have even managed to break the screen by only holding it in their hands using it, my phone is still ok. i'm also having it in my jeans pocket. those who broke their phones almost never say which pocket they had the phone in. many people put it in the back pocket... i wouldn't do that with any phone.

except a few bugs in cm i dont have anything negative to say about the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
As a former Note 2 owner i like this phone better because of the better camera, crisp screen quality and descent batterylife (off course not better than the GN2). Also size wise it is better to handle than the Note2. I think overall the S4 it is a big improvement over the Note2. Just my 2 cents :)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kEvinErd:
I'm also in the same predicament. Currently using a Note 2 but it's size..is both a boon and a bane. Considering the s4 now hoping that 5" screen size would hit the sweet spot. Was using a s3 previously.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
Thanks for the replies. However I didn't want to hear about lag and CM thingy. So I take it that there is NO major issues with the build quality. Good. I am going for it then.

One more thing, on Note 2, with S Pen it acted as a mouse on some webpages, like when you hover the S Pen on a sub-link it would show the additional options under that link, now I know that S4 has some air gestures with fingers, but is that feature enabled in web browser?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Yes but it only enlarges and gives you a preview of the page if you hover over it with your finger afaik.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acboy555:
So far the Air View is enabled in the stock browser but only allows you to magnify the content when you hover your fingers over a particular content. As for the additional options, I don't think that feature is enabled as yet. Hopefully it is in the near feature.

The options available below

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jujuburi:
Yeah, okay, I'll have to give up that feature, as well as all the S Pen features, and a great battery backup and maybe some other things, anyway, will have to digest them. I just can't stand huge size anymore.

Thanks all for the replies. Coming in this section within a week.

P.S.: One last thing, I'll get the white one, I guess there is no difference/problem with it in comparison to Black one? Cause with Note 2 it was a different thing, the White model had correct LED colours, while the Grey had not! Anything like that?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] assasin34:
buy i9505 one..more custom roms and porting google play edition rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acboy555:
No, there's no difference with the colours.. There's only variants differences like I9500 and I9505... But you can get either black or white with either and have the same features with respect to their variant.
[HTC Rezound] andrix10:
No idea why it doesn't mount on my phone, but mounts along with my SD card when I connect it to a pc
[HTC Rezound] acejavelin:
Try formatting it from your PC in FAT32 (not NTFS or exFAT) or from your Recovery.

Are you sure it's not mounting? Most CM-based ROM's, including Infection, do not use the internal storage volume, so it will appear empty if you did a complete wipe before installing.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shsabi:
Wow. Superb! I just got my HTC One today. Can anybody recommend some cool tweaks? That would be appreciated

Thanks in advance
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spartyx:
I recommend you to unlock your fastboot first, and install a recovery.

After that, you can try the ARHD rom which is already tweaked and close to the stock rom.

Also with this rom you can wak your device with the volume button.

If you are still not happy enough, you might try the ElementalX kernel.

With this kernel I can get around 5-7h screen on time, it depends on my usage.

is there any app/mod to hide both nav bar and status bar just like CM10 / PA [Expanding Desktop]

i just found [auto hide soft keys] app by GMD but it's kinda slow and takes time to hide and it just HIDES nav bar i'm looking for CM10 like JUST ! CLICK expanding desktop solution!

it's one of the few reasons that i prefer Custom roms to stock ones and if i find an app or even a mod i would totally migrate back to stock (4.3)!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] User850:
Hello I am new to this forum. Is anyone can tell me how to flash a rom AT & T (I317) on a Rogers Note 2 (i317m.) It is written in some place but it is not very clear. I know it takes to flash a modem, but when. Is this method works with any AT&T rom

Thank you for all the answers

Sorry for my bad english im from QC
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mrevankyle:
Dont worry about the modem. Every rom in the AT&T section will work and if you dont get signal/data just check your apn's
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] User850:
Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Another thing is that most Rom's don't flash a modem FYI. So that means yours will stay intact:). But if you wanted to upgrade your modem to Rogers newest release. Then you'll have to flash your new modem.

There's plenty of TW based Rom's and a lot of AOSP out there. That's your choice on what you like and choose!

Just my 2¢®:cool:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] jon3sh:
I am using I317M version always be on safe side save a flashable zip (modem) and csc patch in your external sd so if ever your flash overwrites the modem /csc you can always revert.

I'm looking on eBay abd a few other auction sites but the deals there are not as good on something that's hot like this. I've seen the SX 66 go mostly for the lower $400. It never hurts to try and get better.

That and the heat is off for a while since I was able to get my SX56 working again.

Screenshots and video in post #2

Im posting this on behalf of a friend and his wife who is developing this game.

It's currently on IndieGoGo so if any of you want to help them, please check it out there.

And if you play it, and like it, please add a rating and maybe a comment in Google Play.

Here's a description of the game...

Fran Bow is a Horror Point and click game that tells the story of Fran, a young girl struggling with a mental disorder and an unfair destiny. It is a trip to the deepest and darkest side of human psychology, delivered through blood and tears.

After being witness of the gruesome (and mysterious) loss of her parents, found dismembered at their home Fran runs away into the woods, together with her only friend: Mr. Midnight, a black cat that Fran had previously received as a present from her parents. In the forest, Fran loses senses and when she recovers, she is at Oswald Asylum, an oppressive mental institution for children, with no trace of Mr. Midnight.

After having a dream about her beloved cat she decides to escape the institution to find him and go back to aunt Grace. Aunt Grace is her only living relative who she is very fond of.

Nothing comes easy for Fran. There is also a strange creature, Remor, who wants to prevent Fran Bow from going home at any cost. But she is determined to find her cat, return to aunt Grace and together find out who is responsible for her parents murders.

Features:

Story driven psychological horror adventure game.

Unique and peculiar hand drawn 2D Art-Style.

Self- administer medication to open the terrible hidden world that will help solve puzzles and find objects.

A bizarre variety of puzzles designed in different levels of difficulty and mostly based on the twisted relationship between Fran Bow’s imagination and reality.

Old Arcade inspired mini-games designed to be part of the transitions in the story.

Interactive and occasionally playable pet cat, Mr Midnight.

Several interactive characters with unique personalities that will help or prevent Fran Bow going home.

Here's the Google Play link https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.KillmondayGames.FranBow

and the games website: http://www.franbow.com/

Please note, the game is in Alpha so if you find any bugs, don't hesitate to tell them.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmspuerta:
Hello:

I bought a Lenovo A820T in Aliexpress is absolutely false

Anyway, upon arrival I see that it has nothing to do with the order, but I guess, at least, will have the same characteristics.

No way, attempting to charge a ROM in Spanish (The phone only had the Chinese and English ROM and loaded up all those Chinese applications absolutely useless, at least here) the phone dies.

When you look at the mistakes that returns Flash Tools is that instead of a brings MT6589 MT6575 (Among other many differences in RAM, camera, etc ...).

Well, let's see how we fix it ....

Nothing to do, every time I try to flash a ROM (not all dead because drivers can recognize and reformat) returns a typing error:

S_DA_DRAM_NOT_SUPPRT (3004)

Memory by passing the test with Flash Tools returns:

Re =============== "> Memory Detection Reportre"> ===============

Internal RAM:

re "> Size = 0x00020000 (128KB)

External RAM:

re "> ERROR: External RAM was not detected!

re "> EMMC_PART_USER re"> Size = 0x00000000E2C00000 (3628MB)

Re ============ "> RAM Testre"> ============

SKIP! External RAM was not detected!

But the screen is black and no signs of life.

Do not know how to load the preloader can then record a TWRP recovery and from there restore the backup made with TWRP that I have saved.

Apparently the ROM to load the Flash Tools are not able to write to the correct memory address.

I try to load only the image of preloader.bin and no way.

If someone could help me out, I would be eternally grateful.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Russell_S:
Hi, I am hoping that one of the Android developers on here might be able to give me a bit of advice please regarding editting my 'framework.jar' file.

I have a Jiayu G3 phone running Android Jelly Bean 4.1.2 but my caller ID is not functioning properly because it is not matching local & international numbers. Having done a lot of searching it appears that this is probably due to the parameters in the 'framework.jar' file as per this post on xdadevelopers here

I have succesfully decompiled the 'framework-res.apk' file using apktools and confirmed that the 'config_use_strict_phone_number_comparation' variable is set to false. However, I am having trouble decompiling the 'framework.jar' file.

I have copied the 'framework.jar' file from my phone and opened it in a Jave decompiler. However, all I am presented with is the following:

META-INF
MANIFEST.MF
preloaded-classes

(See attached image)

In the xda post it says the following:

...but I don't appear to have that in mine.

Am I doing something wrong.

If anyone could offer any advice I would be very grateful.

Many thanks

Russell

P'S. I tried replying about this in the original xda post itself but I don't have authorisation to post in the developers section so I thought I would try here instead.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Russell_S:
So, is no one able to help me with this then. All the searching I've done indicates that when I decompress 'framework.jar' then I should have 'classes.dex' inside. However I don't have that.

Can anyone explain to me why this is please before I pull the rest of my hair out.

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frapedas:
You have to use apktool and apply the command to decompile..

eg.

apktool d framework.jar

this in cmd, will create a new folder named framework.jar.out, then you navigate inside this folder were all the smali's files are etc..

PS. you can't open framework.jar in java decompile, you can open framework.jar extract the classes.dex then use dex2jar tool and turn it back into framework_classes.jar this is the one that can be viewed with java decompilers

Hello,

I have an untouched Nexus 7 3G (tilapia) and started today the update to Android 4.3 (normal system update).

The update failed and Android couldn't boot.

So I tried to flash with the Nexus 7 Toolkit 5.0.0. Failed also with the following message:

In FASTBOOT I have the following informations:

(I've unlocked the bootloader for recovery purpose.)

I've installed then TWRP and tried a factory reset but it complains:

After manipulating "androidinfo.txt" (changing the value for "require version-baseband" to "N/A"), I was able to install Android 4.3 manually (with the SDK). In Android I've got the following baseband information: "radio-tilapia-1231_0.17.0_1205.img" and I can register with my mobile provider. But I have still "BASEBAND VERSION - N/A" in FASTBOOT and can't update the radio (same error).

I've installed again TWRP and performed a factory reset (to try to install CyanogenMod) and have still the error:

'/system' seems to be OK now.

What's wrong with my Nexus 7 and what can I do about it?

I would like to be able to use my Nexus 7 with the required radio for Android 4.3 but can't update it (or any other radio).

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globula_neagra:
Same issue, but the idea is that in theory you should be able to sideload the radio also using adb, the problem is that i just dumped all the stuff from the tablet and no partition has exactly 16mb, the size of the radio.

What i want to try is to sideload the radio via adb, if it does not work, format the radio partition, and try to sideload again, but i can do this only if i can find out which mmcblk is the radio

root@android:/ # ls /dev/block/mmcblk*

Inside the radio-tilapia-1231_0.18.0_0409.img there is a radio_image.zip file
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globula_neagra:
I managed to partially fix the issue

What I did.

1) Mounted radio-tilapia-1231_0.18.0_0409.img in Linux (sudo mount -o loop radio-tilapia-1231_0.18.0_0409.img radio/ i previosly created the directory radio)

2) Copied the radio_update.zip

3) Rebooted the Tablet in RECOVERY

4) Pressed Power Key and Volume Key Plus (first power key, while you keep the power pressed, press the volume key for 2 seconds, release, this will enable the stock recovery menu)

5) Select "Apply Update From ADB"

6) Issue the command "adb sideload radio_update.zip

7) Wait till the update goes to end,, and select Reboot system now.

Now when you check in Settings/About Tablet/Baseband, you should have the Baseband which you applied via adb sideload

Here is a link towards the radio_update.zip for those in need

http://globula.arctablet.com/Nexus7/radio_update.zip

LE: YOU NEED TO BE ON STOCK RECOVERY TO APPLY THIS FIX
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flaps1970:
Apologize for some questions, but i am not familiar with adb sideload commands.

- Does your procedure require a Linux installation over a PC or can be performed directly using TWRP recovery or a Windows PC?

- What are the commands to create the directory /radio ?

- Once the procedure is fully executed, if you start Nexus in fastboot mode, do you still see BASEBAND label with N/A or do you see the correct identifier of the Radio installed (i.e. 1231_0.18.0_0409)?

Thanks a lot in advance
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] globula_neagra:
"- Does your procedure require a Linux installation over a PC or can be performed directly using TWRP recovery or a Windows PC?"

No, it does not require Linux, for future radio updates, yes it may require some Linux if you want to mount radio and extract the file.

You cannot use custom recovery, NO CWM, NO TWRP, JUST PLAIN STOCK

"- What are the commands to create the directory /radio ?"

The command is mkdir radio, but it is usable only in linux when you want to extract the radio_update.zip from the image

"- Once the procedure is fully executed, if you start Nexus in fastboot mode, do you still see BASEBAND label with N/A or do you see the correct identifier of the Radio installed (i.e. 1231_0.18.0_0409)?"

-No, this issue will still remain, but in settings/about tablet/ Will be updated correctly.

I still want to find out on which partition is the radio stored, and maybe someone will have the good will and dump his radio, so i can flash it back on mine to see if it fixes the display in the bootloader.

But until that man appears, we have to pray for a miracle :).
