[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GreenBot:
:cowboy: Here are my 2cents :cowboy:

Well definitely. Shower is just a small part of it. But as the phone suggests, "Active" can be interpreted as going to the sea, lakes, mountains and outdoor a lot which means there will be water and rain. It's not a tough phone but it should perform as advertised with reasonable waterproofing capabilities.

I Do agree that water damage should NOT be in part of the warranty because there are a lot of possible scenarios that the phone manufacturer can't possibly cover. For example:

Not properly sealing the back cover, ports etc. (I drowned my Galaxy S1 years ago by not completely sealing the waterproof bag properly many years ago.)

Take a plunge with the phone in your hands (impact force may cause a leak. I drowned a iPhone 4S with Lifeproof case by plunging into a pool last year *fixed*)

Dunking it in champagne buckets full of ice (Well it might be ok)

Excessive vibrations/impacts that cause non water damaged failures

Not rinsing the phone after each submersion (may corrode the seals)

Sand and dirt getting onto the sea while you are at a beach or so (compromises the seal. Had a personal experience too.)

Possibly more cases of course...

LESSONS LEARNED...

BUT, if a user properly sealed it and go through the proper care procedures & didn't do one of the things listed above but the phone simply leaked. I would say It's most likely a Defect! We have a user confirming that if he submerge his phone up to just below the screen, it's waterproof. We have isolated the problem through a logical step by step approach. It is disappointing to me rather than getting furious honestly that the phone has failed me. I am also happy to know some people's Active are waterproof as advertised.

I have found a suitable silicone glue that I will use to apply to the edge of the screen bezel to see if I can make the screen waterproof. I hope I can finally start to use the phone again after a week from purchase.

Keep you all posted. :highfive:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Tomdg07:
I find the shower to be the best place to rub one out, if you know what I mean, mess goes right down the drain ;)

This s4 active sees 2-3 showers a week no issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] nthknd:
Wow that's alot of "rubbing" im guessing the phone is for visual stimulation.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] HORiZUN:
I'm so glad I took the Active back to AT&T. Swapping it out was the best thing I could have done. I'm not very happy with waterproof phones that aren't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] GreenBot:
Have you tested the new unit's waterproofing capability yet?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] HORiZUN:
Yes, and I had great results. Others haven't. Got rid of it before it was too late. If I want waterproof, I trust otterbox more than that flimsy battery cover o-ring.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Tsaukpaetra:
Yup

I was using my S4A in various situations involving water just fine for over a month now. Today was the day disaster struck. At the beach, everything was fine taking a few vids and pictures until I noticed that GPS stopped getting a lock above water (typically wireless communications don't work under water, but reconnect just fine as soon as it's above water). I thought to myself, "huh. odd" and left it out to dry just in case, sending a few texts and whatnot. An hour later, Face Unlock stopped working as well as the camera, which was fixed by clearing data for the Camera App (odd, as that shouldn't really affect face unlock, but whatever).

Went for a walk (once again, completely dry since the GPS stopped working) when I found that the phone was practically burning a hole in my pocket! The screen was also completely black and (fearing the worst), I checked the phone for signs of water damage. My findings were:

Screen black, unable to see water lines on the screen since the LEDs are non-functional

Camera windows clouded, front one with finer mist than the rear

Battery and two chassis water dots still a beautiful white.

Touch-screen non responsive

Silently cursing, I pulled the battery to let it cool down and sit for a bit. Now the rear camera is cleared but the front lens is still fogged, I can boot the phone normally, but the screen is non-functional still (no LED, no LCD, no capacitive touch). Sadly, I have a password lock screen so plugging the phone into my PC results in nothing happening (can't access internal sd card, no USB Debugging) since I can't unlock my phone.

Update:

Phone isn't totally dead, screen turns on now and is responsive, not the back button. Wifi doesn't turn on either. At least it's enough to get it unlocked to do a backup on.

The most puzzling thing now is that the OS claims the battery is too cold to charge, so I'm stuck at 8% and not charging.

So distressing, I can only hope that the AT&T replacement is still in effect. :eek:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Bandika01:
Same thing happened to me

Hi All,

Thanks for the pics and tips.

I experienced the same. I have been using my new i9295 for over a month already. It is needless to say that the main selling point for me was the IP67 certification with removable battery, so I did some underwater camera tests. Everything was fine, the phone seemed to be waterproof indeed. I was happy until last week, when I went on holiday.

I took some videos in 20 cm depth of a clear water lake in the morning, cleaned the case of the phone and used it happily for the rest of the day. In the evening I noticed that both camera were totally blurred by fog. Next morning the stripes and clouds appeared on the screen and the touch screen did not work, so I could not enter my PIN. Only hardware buttons were functioning. I took out the battery and let the phone dry for a day and now it is working fine. The fog lifted from the camera lens and the only sign of "damage" is the slowly disappearing clouds and stripes on the screen. Still I am worried about the interior (and my data), and I do not trust the ip67 certificate anymore.

I bought my phone with 2 years guaranty but I am afraid I lost it quickly :(

Shame on SAMSUNG!

My SonyEricsson P990 was swimming in the ocean for 30 min. (I needed this long to swim back to the beach after I realised the leak on my waterproof case.) The guys at the service centre cleaned my phone for something like 15-20$ and it was working fine for another 3 years. SAMSUNG does not fix anything even if not user fault - just replaces the phone or the motherboard. With lost warranty it is a real pain in the... pocket! i9295 is not a cheap phone after all!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] zagi988:
I've used my S4A in a pool, on around one meter depth and it's functioning normally.

Recorded videos under water, swim with it in the pocket and so.

Did that for around 3 hours (it was not underwater for 3 hours but it was in and out of the water for a bunch of times in that period).

As the title says. I listen to music when I try to go to sleep, and at my lowest volume, it's still too loud. I couldn't find any info on how to lower it further, but that might be just because I put in the wrong keywords. Any info on how to lower it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nbeebe24:
Try a music player like PowerAmp. It has it's own dedicated volume slider which you can use to lower it further.

It's easier to click "thanks" than type it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
What rom are you using? Because if i had to guess the rom probably has the volume boost mod/edit pre installed.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheAtheistOtaku:
then you just rooted, you didnt flash any custom roms. which means you dont have the audio mod. The S4 is naturally that loud then. im guessing you can do the opposite of what the audio mod does, and instead of increasing the max volume, you decrease it. theres a tutorial somewhere on the forum on what file to edit on your phone. search for it, follow it, and instead of increasing the number, lower it

[HTC One X] anasmunir:
Why you are asking for S-OFF guide if you are already S-OFFed ??

S-OFF for One X is not available yet so there isn't any guide for it. And if you have an S-OFF device, you probably are among those lucky people who've got a factory S-OFF phone.

You must unlock your bootloader if you want to flash a custom ROM.

[HTC One X] D4rk_nVidia:
The Installation for s-on and s-off is the same? o.O

I thought S-OFF don't need to flash the boot.img

So S-OFF devices only need an unlock, custom recovery.

They only need to flash the ROM but S-ON need to flash boot.img separate .

Isn't it right?
[HTC One X] yaronler:
Thanks for your help
[HTC One X] herbie13:
Its exactly the same as hofs said. Most Rom zips don't attempt to flash the boot.img in the installer script even though it would work with an s off phone.

Best off flashing the boot.img with fastboot if you don't know.

Restoring a nandroid will flash a boot though which is handy.

I put this together sometime ago which may be usefull to you.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Electroman365:
So, just realized that using a Micro SD with the Note 2 isn't as easy as just inserting one in. I'm reading that the phone has to be rooted and some other apps have to be downloaded in order for the SD card to be used with the phone. Is that the case? So, if the phone isn't rooted the SD card is useless?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] carlgraser:
Pictures and videos and any music you may download all go there keeping them off the internal memory makes the SD card very useful.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] truckerdewd:
I believe you were given some very wrong information. You can use a micro SD card on a non rooted phone and no apps have to be downloaded to use one.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Electroman365:
That's weird and confusing. I found this info on youtube. The other thing, why isn't my phone recognizing the SD card then? Well, it shows on top but I can't store anything on it as if the phone doesn't recognize it's in.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note II] Double0EK:
Maybe its upside down..lol

But you'll need to reboot after inserting it. The phone should say preparing SDCard. Or you can mount it in settings.

Open your camera app and set the storage to Memory Card then you can use your file manager to move your other files to the sdcard..

Also, if you use your browser to download things, you can set the default to the sdcard as well.

I am trying to build an apk file for release. My application lib contains a jar (probably obfuscated) from a third party vendor of one of my company's hard-wares. When I build the apk in debug mode it is successful, but when I try to do it in release mode using "ant release" it throws the following error.

BUILD FAILED

I have successfully built apks in release mode for other projects (which doesn't have this jar file.)

It seems to be an issue around proguard not being able to read this class in the jar. I have looked through ProGuard's trouble shooting manual and also on google and found no help with this particular error:

(Unknown verification type [10] in stack map frame)

I also updated proguard from V4.7 to 4.10, but it still encounters the same error.

To my little mind it seems to be a problem with the jar itself and if so how do I fix it? Any help would be appreciated. TIA!
