the gap in between will likely create more reflection and reduce brightness more than a screen protector that just sticks to the screen.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Blue6IX:
The seidio vitreo glass screen protector is freaking awesome. Mine is a little scratched - just barely - in a few spots, but given my note 2 skidded some 20 feet screen-down over cobblestones, very impressed.

While it was on that regrettable journey, it was also encased in a seidio convert case.

I highly recommend both.

I also recommend not falling off your bike while playing ingress in the rain.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] josemald:
UPDATE:

It seems the problem I have is ghost typing. Based on FourPointedFreak suggestion, I activated the Show Touches option in the Developer Options menu, and now I see ghost presses on the touchscreen, always in the same place, about 1.5 inches from the bottom and 0.5 inches from the left. If I try pressing with my finger in the same spot when the mark shows up, it slides down before I can even get to the screen. If googled it, and it's been reported on some Android phones and ipads, but not on the S4, and there is no agreement if it is hardware or software.

If you've dealt with something like this before, even with a different device, your input would be most welcome. I'm planning to change ROM tomorrow or early next week, and see if the problem continues. And clean my screen with a soapy moist towel, so far I've only used a cloth for glasses to clean it.

I'm really hoping it's a software issue as I don't want to do a warranty replacement, I'd be most probably get a device on MF3. But if it is hardware I'd rather have that than a faulty device. I got it refurbished as a replacement for an Xperia Ion, and I only have one more month left of warranty.

Again, any input especially from past experiences would be greatly appreciated.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LAST UPDATE:

It seems the problem is hardware, as the false inputs in the screen happen also in TWRP while trying to flash the new ROM. I guess any mod can close this thread now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FourPointedFreak:
Well, you're definitely smart for doing your research before just pulling the warranty card.

I would do some testing and research with the phone to figure out what the cause is. It doesn't sound like something that can be just 'debugged'.

Go into your developer options on the phone and enable a few things.

To get developer options, go to System Settings > More > About Device and tap on "Build Number" until it says you've enabled it.

Then go into Developer Options (Above About Device) and under input, select both options "Show Touches" and "Show Pointer Location". Then under Monitoring, enable "Enable Traces" for anything applicable to what you're having problems with.

Some of these settings may be annoying, but continue to use the phone as you would. See if it's adding and doing things you're not, this would show clear signs of a malfunction with the firmware. Check for dead pixels too. Sometimes a dead pixel can cause things like you're dealing with. Where something is selected on the screen much lower than where you pressed and variations of that.

Also, have you tried reflashing your ROM to see if that makes a difference?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] josemald:
Thanks for the suggestions!

Do you think it´s possible that the problem was caused by a dirty screen? I know it sounds a bit insane, but yesterday I wiped off my screen to clear dust and smudges, and since that I haven´t had any issues with the phone. This is the third touch screen device I had, I've never seen something like this, but also the S4 screen is a lot more sensitive than my previous devices. Could it be that too much dust and grease made the phone interpret that there was some input?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FourPointedFreak:
I would think it's 'possible' but it would have to be thick and really caked on there to make a difference. That may have just been a coincidence of timing with your issue. But perhaps it is.

Maybe go buy a cheap screen protector to help with finger prints and dirt and see if it gets better?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] crzykiller:
If it persists, I would factory wipe and install the stock ROM through Odin. Use it a bit completely stock and see if the screen works. If the issue continues then its an hardware problem and i would take a video and e-mail Samsung about it with the video. I've actually had this problem before and that's because my phone was cold as hell. Doing a lot of benchmarks so i put it in the freezer (I would NOT recommend that) and my screen started acting up and it pressed random things like yours.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FourPointedFreak:
That's a good idea. Just make sure you flash the custom ROM appropriately as not to brick your device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FourPointedFreak:
Yeah, I have heard the term "ghost typing" before. I couldn't seem to find much information or help on the subject as I'm sure you noticed as well. To me, and many others on the internet - this doesn't seem software related to me. This would seemingly be an issue with the hardware. Maybe the screen itself, the data connectors for the screen's signals - could be all kinds of things.

If I were in your shoes and you really like the S4, i'd just take advantage of the month you have left on your warranty and get a new device. If, and they probably will, they supply you with a new(er) device with MF3 on it, it's not the end of the world. Mine got stuck with it - there are methods to root it even still.

To me, cleaning it just doesn't sound like it's a solution. I've worked for T-Mobile, AT&T and Verizon. Only twice had I seen an issue like this where you can attempt to press "E" and another key was hit in place of "E". We never found a fix - this occurred on demo phones so we related the issue to it having demo software.

The only other 'solution' or fix would be to replace to screen to see if it fixes. But since you have a warranty, for the trouble - i'd just get a new device.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] josemald:
Thanks, that's what I'm going to do. It must be hardware related, since the problem also came while I was in TWRP after formatting the phone. I like the S4 but a locked down Android, not so much. If rooting is enough to be able to tether, I might ask for another S4, if not, might as well try to migrate to Windows Phone. It's ridiculous that we have to pay extra just to be able to use our limited data plans to navigate through a different device.

Again, thanks for your help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FourPointedFreak:
No problem - yeah there is definitely a way to root the MF3 build of the S4.

Since you mentioned it, my only note ***If apps are important to you, Windows Phone is a dangerous field. Many apps available for Android and iOS are not available on Windows Phone. I'd make sure the content you want is available before switching.

I can see why the carriers would charge additionally for tethering. If you can make an extra buck, do it. But it does suck. Especially when you have unlimited data and want to tether.

-Do some research on Windows Phone in case you're seriously considering switching. I wouldn't though ;)
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] cquilliam:
So, I recently aquired an Android stick, and as far as I can tell, its some sort of generic brand. I want to be able to put a custom rom on it, but am not sure which will work, or where to start. Are there any apps I can load on it to give me more detailed info? Here's the info I can pull off from the About section:

Model Number: MK908

Android Version: 4.2.2

Kernel Version: 3.0.36+rjh_V_102j2#52 (Sun Jan 9 15:16:38 CST 2013)

VEndor Softwre Version: 101j2 09-06-2013

I got it on ebay, and the other info on the ad is:

Model: MK908 RK3188 Quad Core

CPU: Rockchip RK3188 1.8Ghz Cortex A9

Brand: SUNVELL

GPU: Mali400 MP4 Quad core , 2D/ 3D/ OpenGL ES2.0/ OpenVG1.1. Video Decoding: Support 1920x1080p@60fps

Video Encoding: Support encoding in H.264. 1080p@60fps, 720@100fps

I have seen some MK908 roms, are they generic enough that they will work? Thanks for the help.
[Android Stick & Console RockChip based Computers] cquilliam:
Just as a quick follow-up, it appears that my stick is compatible with the Tronsmart MK908 rom's. I installed Finless 1.5A, and it appears everything is working, other than some random reboots that I can't nail down yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Chidwick089:
Ok, So I was attempting to root a friends galaxy S4, and all was going well. But after a successful root, an install of Team win recovery through goomanager, and a reboot, I got a "failed normal boot" error or something similar that was displayed in download mode. The Phone would not go past download mode, so I removed the battery, and launched it into odin mode, to be greeted with what appeared normal to me...

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SCH-1545

System Status: Official

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

After putting it into odin, and attempting to flash the stock rom for it, ODIN (my desktop client, not the phone) gave me this error...

And the phone displayed this...

ODIN MODE

PRODUCT NAME: SCH-1545

System Status: Official

CSB-CONFIG-LSB: 0x30

WRITE PROTECTION: Enable

START [224, 1440]

SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused 3, Binary : 1

Now I'm thinking the issue was caused by the fact odin is in write protect mode, and I'm thinking that this has been caused by me possibly forgetting to enable usb debugging. Whenever I try to boot the phone, it locks up and says that "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mdoe in Kies & try again". I can't get it to boot the OS, or recovery, and I need to know if there is any way to fix this, and also if my friend may still be able to get if fixed for free, and if not, how much it may cost for me to pay. Any assistance that can be provided would be amazing, and I would be happy to provide any more needed info.

To sum up, I need to get odin to allow me to flash the stock firmware, even with write protection enabled. Is there any way to accomplish this?

Or if not, is there a way to manually repair it without flashing? Any means is justifiable now, I don't care how, or how long the process is, I just want to not betray the trust of my friend.

I wish I hadn't done this, and I feel incredibly guilty, even though I only meant well. I'm awfully tight on cash right now, and It would be great if this could be resolved without me having to pay for the repair, but I will if I must. I'll purchase whoever can assist me something on steam or whatever, if that helps. I Just desperately need help.

Thanks,

Chad.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexitnow:
you installed a custom recovery on me7 which you cant, that is why it softbricked. Then you tried flashing the mdk image thru odin, which you also cant do because me7 blocked the loki exploit and blocked installation of prior firmwares. You should be able to get the phone running again by flashing the me7 image via odin.

Hi,

I'd lightweight (<0,5 MB) torch app working on our device for stock. In Google Play I can't find the app. Maybe somebody give me the app? Best if it's only widget app - without icon in app drawer (It's not need)

The most problem is working on SGAce :/ Very nice looks this (only 41k ! ) but it's not working of course

Now I use Tiny Flashlight, but it is too much it weighs (but working)

Here I don't write about nice-light app from CM, but here is base for CM app (for devs)

If no such application, maybe devs make this app :) ?

[HTC One X] leelemon87:
SO...with the release of the new Sense 5 Roms for our beloved One X I'm not seeing any themes (I know it's early).

I've had a go at porting a few over by decompiling the systemui.apk, updating the images and recompling as you used to with the original sense 4+ roms but keep losing my status bar!

I'm just starting small at the moment, changing wifi icon, battery, signal etc etc but then I'm going to move onto app icons. The venom themes are epic and it would be awesome to see a few on the sense 5 ui!

Wondering if the geniuses here can shed some light, I haven't found any tutorials or help guides as of yet, hopefully this will start as a decent pool of information,
[HTC One X] xcesco89:
which tool are you using?

if you are using apktool, have you copied META-INF folder , from the original APK, inside the new one? ( Old signature)

after pushing it to the device, have you set permissions? (rw-r-r--)

Cache and Dalvik-cache wiped ?

;) :)
[HTC One X] leelemon87:
ooooo didn't think about the META-INF...I'll give it a shot in the morning.

All the other steps i've done, multiple times. It's as if the systemui.apk doesn't apply during boot so maybe it is the meta file!
[HTC One X] leelemon87:
And I'm using apktool to decompile...recently found it better that going through the hassle of virtuous 10 suite
[HTC One X] xcesco89:
yep, apktool doesn't sign the apk, so you need to keep the old signature :)
[HTC One X] keroro430:
Signing systemui.apk is not necessary. I tested many times.

To change pngs(especially patch9 pngs), just copy and paste to the apk with 7-zip if apktool get error or SystemUI FCs.

P.S. Please use the most original apk to modify if it's failed in previous build.
[HTC One X] leelemon87:
Not bothering with patch9s I hate those things!

For some reason everytime I push a new

SystemUI.apk to my phone, reboot, wipe cache and dalvik (for good measure) it won't apply so I lose the status bar and background etc. Essentially no system ui applies!

It's a pickle, im on ARHD at the moment so will have a go at decompiling! And try again

Funny thing is, someone made a made mod on here already for 1% battery, and even installing that doesn't work!...I'll keep tinkering
[HTC One X] xcesco89:
unfortunately for me is the same.

i'm trying to add a new item to settings.apk (SuperUser), i have edited all required xmls, added png, recompiled than signed, but no way to make it work.

i have also tried with zipsigner app using platform keys, but no result.. Settings won't show :p
[HTC One X] leelemon87:
Success (well a little)

Soooo....I've managed to mod the battery! :D:D:D

I'm going for a sort of Far Cry 3 Blood Dragon 80's style eventually, but this is the first step! Now for the wifi/signal etc. etc.

So this is what I did...

Got an existing circle battery mod with the same naming convention (since I can't be bothered to rename 100 files :P)

Recoloured them all in photoshop and increased the pixels size to 50 x 50

Deleted the battery icons in the existing SystemUI.apk via 7zip

Added the modified battery icons to the apk

Then pushed to the phone via adb

It automatically rebooted and viola! I may run 'fixed permissions' from recovery to be safe and wipe cache/dalvik to make sure but it's looking good!

hey guys, if you are only changing icons, you don't need to decompile just swap the images by throwing the img in the .apk with ex(7zip) you only need to decompile with xml files and such and if you need a .9 img use the dot9 patcher in sdk then use this" https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/74861217/draw9compiler.zip " to compile it before throwing it in the .apk. to use the compiler throw the .9 patched img into example1 then run the prog at main folder then look in done for compiled img
