You are correct, there is currently not a way to flash custom roms.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] milkeeway:
Thanks for that information. That is a bummer to hear the realistic possibility that it may never come. I guess I would be extremely bummed as rooting is the main reason I came to Android and bought the S4. I was naive in the sense I thought all S4 were the same. Little did I know there was so many variations. I even came to the forums before I bought it but everything seemed like a foreign language coming from iOS.

Any idea who I might be able to talk to to Pledge some cash to see that it gets worked on?

And also is there any way to see a MOD about this captcha restriction lol!

Now rooting is available, but this thread is to pledge http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2361870

You can always just buy the tmobile version, they don't have a locked bootloader so you can flash away. Just a thought
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] milkeeway:
Thanks for all that info. I am an idiot honestly that's all that can be said. I should have done a little more research before I made a purchase. I traded my iPhone 5 with a little cash on top for a brand new Galaxy S4 on AT&T (My carrier) had I known all of this before I would have searched Craigslist for a T-Mobile version and then sim unlocked it for AT&T...

Guess I learned my lesson, I really wish I could afford to go buy a T-Mobile S4 too but they sell for like $500-$600 out of contract.... Just can't do it and I am stuck with AT&T right now. Meanwhile my buddy who told me I should buy an S4 is laughing his rooted and recovered ass off right now lol...

Good to hear rooting is available
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] milkeeway:
What can you do with a root if you are not able to install custom roms?

Is there anything I could do in the meantime that would improve the functionality or performance of my phone?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joshuadjohnson22:
You can install a lot of mods which will archive a lot of the same things as a custom rom. You can remove bloat, theme, add things... it is pretty awesome. See the development sections and the themes and app sections to see all the awesome stuff. Some people always stay with stock and just add mods
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] slyguy2000:
...you can also do some serious damage, and without recovery, you can easily "Brick" your device... Please be careful what you remove/change/mod, as if you bootloop or fubar your current OS, you will NOT be able to Odin Back to stock to recover just yet...

removing some of the Samsung Apps will break things when they are removed, and TiBU can't always put them back... for now I just froze all the bloatware, and won't remove anything until there is a way to go "Back to Stock"

Hope this helps.

Those are very good points! No nandroids either. It's best not to mess with a lot of those areas unless you know what your doing.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] joshuadjohnson22:
Yeah, thanks for clarifying, I should also let the OP know I have the S4 Active which has the ability to ODIN back to stock if something goes wrong. I do not know if you will have that pleasure so think twice and read before trying anything
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] milkeeway:
I have decided I probably won't take advantage of the root until I can safely make a recovery. I actually posted a $25.00 pledge (I know it isn't much) towards finding a fix for newer users of the S4. People who have to warranty their phones will likely have the update installed.

Crossing my fingers now.

Well my Galaxy S4 on MF3 I actually bought on craigslist so the only exchange options are through the manufacturer. What I ended up doing was going to AT&T and using my upgrade to buy another S4 I just told the sales Representative to look on the side of the box for MDL software version or I was not going to upgrade.

Just noticed someone posted a question on the old 7 forum about screen polarization. Mine unfortunately blacks out with my sunglasses when it's held in landscape. I was planning on using it while flying for gps purposes so I'll have to invest in some non-polarized glasses.

Things can be done with the design to make lcds useable with polarized sunglasses. My xoom only blacks out on 2 of the 45deg angles. Works fine landscape and portrait. My s4 is fine during 360deg just slight color shifting mainly just at the 45deg angles.

That's because the S4 uses OLED, its a different type of screen technology.

Nexus 7, Android 4.3, Rooted with NRT 1.6.6, Stickmount app is up to date

I used to be able to access my USB drives, so I know it's not a model problem. Now though, inserting them will trigger Stickmount & show a notification that it was mounted as sda1. I can see it in StickMount, but when I open Astro, Gallery, VLC, or Videos, all I see is the on-board memory.

Anyone know what might be wrong?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
With storage mounted, use a file manager other than Astro to navigate to /sdcard/usbstorage/sda1 where you will see the storage files. Astro quit working for me in terms of the external storage. Root Explorer or ES File Explorer will take you to the correct path. In your stickmount settings have you enabled 'Media Scan'? Gallery should find pics on external storage with that checked. I have been able to play music, pictures, and videos from external with stickmount, even ntfs formatted storage. I downloaded and installed the ntfs drivers from links in Play for the stickmount app description (expand Description). Stock rom, kernel, rooted, v4.3.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carpiediem:
Still no luck

I tried ES File Explorer and had the same result. I found the NTFS diver you mentioned and put the file in the /sdcard, but it didn't seem to have any affect. The driver is named ntfs-3g, so perhaps the problem is that I have a Nexus 7 with only a WiFi connection? I don't have Media Scan enabled since I'm currently using the free version of StickMount. It sounds like a good feature, but I'd rather get the basics to work before I buy.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Groid:
The free version of Stickmount works just fine, you don't need Pro. Unless the Media Scan is a Pro only option. You only need the ntfs-3g script if your storage is formatted ntfs. You should still be able to navigate in apps to the external storage. I tried in the VLC nightly, but when I opened usbstorage\sda1 I got kicked out to the home screen. In Gallery, it took about 10-15 seconds to show the pictures on external storage, but once they appeared, I could navigate them just fine.

Here are some additional pics of the mod working with the new Samsung S4 wireless charger that was on sale last week.

Scott-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] imaleecher:
What type of wireless charging pad did you use to put in the back of the phone? Links/pics would be great to show a 100% guide.

When placed on the wireless charger, do you get a confirmation popup every time it's placed on it?

How fast is the wireless charging rate? Same as plugging it in?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SGBE:
The receiver pad is a common 5vDC up to 1.0amp "Note2 N7100" QI compliant pad you can find easily on eBay. Since I do not have enough posts yet, I cannot link to the source I used, but again, they are easy to find.

Re: Notification

Since the T889 does not natively support the wireless charging feature, there is no "wireless charging" notification popup present. However, functionally, everything works perfectly fine and the same notifications apply whether you place the T889 on the Samsung charging pad or plug in the traditional USB charging/sync cable.

Wireless charging pad with the T889 OFF:

- The charging pad light first turns ON/Green within 1 second of placing the unit on the pad properly.

- Then, within another 2-3 seconds, the T889 launches the battery icon and begins the charging process.

- After about 30 seconds or so, the battery icon and screen go to sleep and the red charging indicator LED takes over.

Wireless charging with the T889 ON:

- The charging pad light first turns ON/Green within 1 second of placing the unit on the pad properly.

- Then, within another 1-2 seconds, the T889 produces the two-tone (default) audible charging notification with the lightening bolt showing up on the display inside the battery icon.

- The charging process is now active and doing its thing.

Although it acts the same way as charging via the USB port, the efficiency of wireless charging is still in the 75-80% range so in reality and accounting for the circuit overhead that peaks out at 1000mA, my initial finding is the charge rate is about 15% per hour when paired with the stock 3100mA battery (or approximately 6.75 hours for a complete charge). Regardless, it is still pretty snappy and I will test it some more over the coming days.

One thing that should be noted is the 1000mA receiver pad takes up 100% of the marginal space in the T-Mobile rear cover plate so do not try this with anything larger than the standard 3100mA battery unless a deeper rear cover plate can be sourced.

Scott-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] premiatul:
One little note, the 1000 Ma can not be achieved with stock kernel, I use Perseus kernel that can tweak the USB charging from 450 ma, to 1000.

For an accurate (more or less) measurement, use Galaxy Charging app from Play Store.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SGBE:
Thanks for the heads up. I will look into this.

Scott-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SGBE:
Alright, here are the enlightening results of the wireless and USB direct charging current utilizing Galaxy Charging Current Pro v1.6.

As stated, I am going to continue to test the actual charge times more in the coming days. :good:

Scott-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] ungraph:
Amazing work. It's always great to see people still tinkering with their devices.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SGBE:
Today, I changed the stock kernel to the Saber variant and I am liking the results. With no others changes or mods, I am now seeing 900mA of the 1000mA the QI receiver pad is spec'd at.

I was also able to charge from 81% to 91% in exactly 25 minutes with the T889 ON, the screen awake, Wi-Fi active, and the phone idling. This would equate to approximately 4 hours and 10 minutes per complete charge, which is very respectable.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] lojak29:
Just wanted to give thanks to the very in depth" and professional manor of which you take time explaining all of this along with very :thumbup:detailed illustrations.

If you know so much about modifying the hardware in such a way to achieve this, you could very well be the guy every android owner has been waiting for

to maybe one day software mod these phones to one day get 3-4 day batt life regardless of any battery mah size

Once again thanks for the info
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SGBE:
Thanks, but I am more on the hardware side and not the software arena. Plus, this mod concept was originally not my idea so I cannot take complete credit for it. I simply investigated the situation and found yet another way to achieve the end result. Regardless, the battery chemistry is just not there yet so if you want 3-4 day operation between traditional charges, I suggest looking into one of these new solar and other alternative charging options. ;)

http://www.hongkiat.com/blog/extraordinary-smartphone-chargers/

For now, I am back to enjoying this current QI solution and have established a repeatable charging cycle time that is within 5 minutes on each benchmark. With the Saber kernel allowing for 900mA of wireless charging current to make it through the circuit, the 0-2% to 100% charge time looks to be 4 hours, 25 minutes (+/-5 min). My latest charge cycle that just completed is shown below.

I'm happy - :cool:

Scott
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RojasTKD:
Thanks for this info.

I have an AT&T SGH-I317 with a wireless charging pad. It works but is fairly slow charging at about 460 mA. I've read that the original mod with the Perseus kernal would allow the device to charge faster.

Before I jump into it I'd like some confirmation that this mod would give my wireless charging a boot on my AT&T Note II. I haven't found a lot if complete info and am concerned.

Thanks...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SGBE:
As your i317 is already QI capable, then there is no need to perform this mod. Your specific focus should be confirming the following before flashing the kernel:

1. Is your QI charging (transmitting) platform rated at 2A (input) with an effective output of approx. 1A? Likewise, is the wall adapter feeding the pad rated at up to 2A?

2. Is the QI receiving pad mounted on your i317's rear case panel or the battery rated at 1000mA @ 5V? [Anything lower like 700mA will obviously limit your charging rate, which results in longer charging times].

I have not tested the Perseus kernel, but the Saber kernel on my T889 does liberate the higher charging rate as long as the hardware TX/RX pads support it (as covered above). I average about 980mA, which is within 5% of the rated peak for my Samsung charging platform.:good:

Scott-
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RojasTKD:
Thanks for the reply.

I have read that the charge rate is limited by the device to something like 466mA. Mine charges at 460. Some say the kernel will raise it the others say the kernel alone won't do it, a hardest mod (like this) is required.

To answer your questions:

1. Transmitter Nokia DT-900 output 750mA.

2. Receiver rated at 650mA

I'd be happy to get the charge rate around 600mA. I know my setup I'd not capable of charging at 900mA, but would like to do better than the 460mA I'm now... getting off possible.

If I can get it charging rate higher, I'd look into getting a 1000mA receiver, but won't be getting a new transmitter until the prices drop. I was able to get several Nokia charges for just under $20a piece.

When I get home I will try Saber kernel.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SGBE:
Try the custom kernel since that does control the charging manager functions. If the change is marginal, your RX pad may be actually functioning like a 500mA rated pad. Hopefully, you will see something closer to 600-640mA with your setup (even if the charge time will not be significantly reduced). If anything, invest in a good RX pad that is rated up to the 1000mA so you know you are able to accept any level energy up to the 1A regardless of the charger you use now or buy later.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] RojasTKD:
With Saber Kernel 39.3 I am somehow getting a reading of 899mA, not sure how, as neither my receiver or transmitter should allow this. Though the pic on the FastTech site showed a green receiver pad that had 5v650mA printed on it, the one I got doesn't say anything, so it may be capable of up to 1000mA. Even so my Nokia should not be ab;e to supply enough to charge at the reading I'm getting.

Well, I've always used Perseus Kernel because Saber did not support my 64GB MicroSD card. Flashed Saber Kernel 39.3 and it does support my 64GB MIcroSD, Even the stock saber kernel that comes with Jedi X17 dose not support my exfat 64GB card. So I guess I'm happy.

We'll see what happens. Thanks for the help, it is greatly appreciated!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] SGBE:
Very cool! Your charging time should be greatly reduced if eveything is being reported correctly by the app. Please confirm once you test a few cycles.
