[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimitro:
Hello,

i am a proud owner of Galaxy S4 Mini.

BUT, I have a problem....

When i tap, even when i touch the screen, it makes an annoying crackling noise, that comming definately from the inside of the device, specifically at the top of it. The noise exists even if the back cover, the battery and the sim card are removed. It sounds like a screw or something in there, is not screwed on properly.

This happens from the first day i bought it, and has certainly not ever fall...

I think it comming from the camera, not the camera cover, but the camera itself, or the vibrator. I watched a assembly/reassembly video, and i noticed that the camera has a loose housing, and the vibrator is stucked with double side tape. Maybe that is the problem...

Have anyone here, faced something like this?

I do not want send the device to my local samsung service center, simply because i dont trust them..(i have heard things...)

If open the device myself to see what is happening, i will loose the warranty? Is there a way to notice a opened device? Something like moisture indicator?

Thank you in advance, i really hope to solve that problem soon.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] btnetro:
Hmz now after reading this post I can see I have this noise also. But if I push a little harder...

It doesn't mind me however opening the device will void your warranty I am sure they have some sort of seals on it for this.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMax87:
I've this problem too :p just on top but i hope it's "normal" :confused:

PS = people tell us if you have this problem or not please!

---------- Post added at 02:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:28 PM ----------

OMG try this: with your phone screen upwards shake your phone :eek: i really hope it's on every s4 mini this "problem"
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimsiv:
No cracking noise when I push the screen on top but I can hear a very tiny small sound when I shake it!

Send from my GT-I9195
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Whosat:
I can't hear any of these loose parts no matter how hard I shake my phone or press the screen. :/

And [MENTION=5396398]dimitro[/MENTION], there is always a warranty sticker/indicator that manufacturers paste to check if the user has opened the phone and meddled with the hardware. Breaking this seal usually voids the warranty so I don't suggest you do it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMax87:
after some research on the web I found out that it should be the camera's autofocus mechanism, it is normal because the autofocus needs a little space for work properly

you can heard this sound on EVERY phone with autofocus :fingers-crossed: in some device a bit less or in some case a bit less just for the situation of mechanism based on the last focus made
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dimitro:
So, in some of us our s4 mini jingle when shaking the device and in some cases (like mine) the device jingle even when tapping on the top of screen...

I can say that there is a small manufacturer error. I belive that this noise has nothing to do with the autofocus camera.I hope it wont turn into something bigger.

If someone, finds out what is happening in there, please let us know....

Although that noise is not causing any functional problems (so far), but belive me is very disappointing to live with that...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iMax87:
No,

believe me, it's the camera: same sound on S Advance just for an example ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] w.jansen1234:
i have the same crackling sound, doesnt bother me though!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axelpix:
I'm really sensitive to anything like strange noises or cracklings, but my i9195 does absolutely make no noise when shaking or pressing it.

[Motorola Atrix 2] jharn06:
Wifi not working for me any suggestions? amazing looking rom though.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Yea guys, I am enjoying this ROM myself - first time I'm trying it out.

I gotta say it's pretty smooth, but I notice some unresponsiveness at times (could be kernel related, or who knows what at this point..).

This is the original "inverted colors" ROM (these guys wrote/re-wrote the book on inverting colors in apps and framework). It is based off of straight AOSP sources, and it has a lot of nice features and settings (I like the custom quick panel toggle option). I also like the fact that it is such a lightweight ROM and gapps package.. And so on...

I will probably stick with refining this and PA for a while.. AOKP is still updating to 4.3, and CM is in very good hands - so putting those builds aside for a bit.

List the bugs and issues you come across, and I will try to work through them..
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Reboot once.

Or run sh /system/bin/wifical.sh from terminal or adb..

If i come from stock ICS, do i need to flash to JB Leak 3 first before install this ROM? Or I can upgrade it directly from ICS?
[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
No just flash this ROM using BMM recovery, all the ROMs here are based on ICS kernel.
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
You can install this on ICS or JB.. It is kexec based.

[Motorola Atrix 2] dejannk:

[Motorola Atrix 2] dejannk:
OK, tried the latest ROM and I finally got wifi but only if I do not flash GAPPS!?

When I install over existing ROM (wipe cache and delvik) no Wifi

When I do a full wipe (system format, factory reset, delvik wipe), then flash ROM, then flash Gapps, then restart - no WiFi

When I do a system format, factory and delvik wipe, then flash ROM (no gapps) - wifi works!. I can then flash Gapps and I still got wifi! YAY!

I also tried previous ROM 24th Sep without Gapps but wifi still does not work.

Screen res was set to high. Changed it to 240 to preserve eyesight ;)

Thanks

Dejan
[Motorola Atrix 2] shardul.phatak:
LCD_Density is changed to 180 or sumthin instead of standard 240

u can change it if u need

n try running separate wifi script from defined path through terminal emulator several times .... it may work
[Motorola Atrix 2] dejannk:
Yeah I figured that out. Thanks.

Wifi is good if I do not flash gapps immediately after ROM. Strange.

Happy now, all good.

[Motorola Atrix 2] karthiks.840:
Can this be installed on ROM SLOT 4?

Regards,

Karthik
[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
Yes, you can.
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
Can you please explain what bacon does. Ive heard of it in the past. :D
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Yea, kinda glad someone asked so I can explain myself..

In short, it's a build command: make bacon

In long, I was used to using build scripts like PA has (just type ./rom-build.sh edison -j4, for example), and with CM and AOKP I used make brunch -j4.. and those would optimize the apks and re-zip and finalize the ROM.zip (with the package named like shown in the build.prop).

For Slim, brunch doesn't work.. So, I was just using make otapackage -j4, and that would spit out a unoptimized, larger zip package (slim_edison-ota-eng.alt.zip, for example) - and sometimes I would zip-align and optimize the apks myself, rename and rezip it - sometimes just renamed and uploaded.

And I remembered seeing a note from some older Makefile when I was just starting to build.. "Don't forget the bacon!" (Which is apparently also the name of an English children's book) :D

Typically, it goes like this:

. build/envsetup.sh - to initialize the environment and setup the makefiles

lunch - to choose a target from the list of buildable devices

Then the make command with flags.. Like: time make brunch -j4 (time will give you the build run time, make is make, brunch will optimize the zip if available, and -j# is the number of simultaneous running tasks or jobs, chosen based on your comp's cores/threads). Build scripts typically do the envsetup, lunch, and brunch/bacon steps for you and give a build run time.

So, I was happy to have remembered and tried that yesterday.. :)
[Motorola Atrix 2] atrix2man:
Thanks man! I noticed the zip was much smaller..under 100mb actually..and thats slim lol works great!
[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
Interesting, by the way Alt, display in the new build is too small, other than that the ROM is pretty good. Thank you. :good:
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
You can change the DPI to improve this. You can change it manually by editing the build.prop or look in the playstore for some apps that will do it for you. SlimBean usually has the DPI set to 182, but I find 240 to be best for the Atrix 2.

If I had a dollar for every time I said that, I'd be making money in a very weird way.
[Motorola Atrix 2] A2Trip:
To fix that go into settings>interface>LCD density set it to 240 and follow through with steps. Reboots a couple times n bam, display is fine! :thumbup:
[Motorola Atrix 2] alteredlikeness:
Strange.. I never noticed display issues or changed DPI in this ROM.

But, do what A2Trip suggested if you need to..
[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
Well I did a clean installation and this time the DPI is 240, no idea why I got DPI 180 in my previous installation. Anyways thanks guys for your help.

[Motorola Atrix 2] josuearisty:
Thanks but I alredy know they are working on it, but with 4.2 we had at least 720p video recording and I saw something at d razr forums about flashing a zip file to get 720p, dont know if Im wrong, but I think I did.

Enviado desde mi MB865 usando Tapatalk
[Motorola Atrix 2] RAD7:
I also echo this, by default upon uninstall 182 dpi is the preset value but thankfully due to an exclusive dpi settings option in the Slim ROM it is easy to set your dpi preference by clearly following pointwise guided instructions in the said settings. Personally 220 dpi works better for me than 240.

I flashed the 4.3 aroma gapps inverted toggle selectable package and it did not have the inverted maps but upon install separately by d/l from Slim site addons area, only the buttons & menu are inverted & not the map base unlike truly inverted apps like play,gmail etc. Just a feedback, Thanks for your work Altered:good:

Don't know why WiFi is shown to be on in battery stats even when it's off and is consuming battery

Edit: scanning always available was on by default and so WiFi was on
[Motorola Atrix 2] Sowden:
Just wanted to report that my wi-fi airplane mode problem has been fixed in these last two updates. Thanks for the great work. I had though found another bug that I haven't read listed. When I am making a call and I press the speaker button, I can hear them speak through my speaker but it totally mutes me. So I can hear them talk but they can't hear me. Muting does the same thing without turning on the speaker. I tried this in all of the versions I have installed since I have been using this and they all do it. Is this being looked into, or is there something I'm missing? Also.

Is there anything in the pipeline for making a GooManager like app for your ROM builds :) Thanks again.

Few issues

Hi All,

I am facing few issues i am not sure if all of us are facing this with latest build

1) As mentioned by others after booting the rom u get 183 dpi instead of 240.. I m using it on 213 looking nice

2) When i try to unlock the screen (if goes into deep sleep) i m unable to wake up the rom with help of Power key or volume rocker after 2-3 mins Rom HOT REBOOTS automatically.. (This is irritating)

3) Can we get something for battery Improvement tried JBX kernel but it didnt help on other hand situation went bad

Any suggestions i love this rom it is almost stable...
[Motorola Atrix 2] ravvio:
Battery also seems to be a questionable aspect on this rom... I charged my battery to 100% now my usage time shows 2hrs 15 minz out of which highesh aspects is 26%... ANY HELP
[Motorola Atrix 2] 1BadWolf:
Post a screenshot of your battery usage. That minimal amount of information you've given is not adequate if you're needing answers. I get great battery life on this ROM personally. Also, download Better Battery Stats from the play store to help find out what the problem is.
[Motorola Atrix 2] dejannk:
I had bad battery life after upgrading but it seems it is more to do with Android 4.3 than this ROM

There is a lot of talk in the forums even with Samsung stock ROMs. Main culprit seems to be the location tracking.

G+, Google Now have a setting to track your location. This seems to be using location service a lot. In GPS settings there is an option to use wifi/3g for improved location accuracy. Many claim this is the main problem and that switching it off solved the problem. There are also separate location settings for Gapps. Seems Google has messed this up somewhat. Too many settings in different places and different apps doing their own thing.

What I ended up doing is switch off location completely (can be toggled quickly through notifications bar). I only switch it on when I need navigation. I also disabled location tracking and history in G+ and removed Google Now completely. With these changes battery life is very good. Give it a try, and if you really need some of these features try to enable one at a time to see what is causing problems (tricky to pinpoint when "Google Services" is listed as number one user!)

Wifi scanning problem

Been on 1.6 for a few days now, upgraded from 1.2

Today I noticed that I cannot scan for WiFi networks when I tried to connect to a public Wifi hot spot.

Phone has my home and neighbours routers listed (although I am not at home).

If I try to refresh, a message pops up saying "Press the Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on your router, blah blah", and after a minute or so "WPS failed. Please try again in a few minutes".

Is anyone else having this?

Looked through Wifi advanced settings, nothing obvious to do with WPS.

My home wifi connection is working (this was set up in 1.2 before the upgrade), but seems it cannot be changed/rescanned!

If I update to a newer version of this ROM and don't like it, Can I reboot into recovery, wipe data/dalvik cache and flash an older version of this ROM without any problems? Or will I have to factory reset and wipe data/dalvik cache and then flash the older version?
[Motorola Atrix 2] minhajlk:
Which version did your flash? 1.6 is pretty smooth, anyway if you want to go back to an older version just wipe cache/delvik and flash the ROM.

Yep, you are right. They didn't include it, only Gmail available but I need the default Email app for corporate email.

Battery life

I guess my battery is aging, this is the mileage I am getting out of my 2 year old A2.

SlimBean 2.1 with F-droid setup: 5% per hour

SlimBean 2.1 with ROM kernel: 6% per hour

SlimBean 2.1 with JBX latest : 7% per hour

All figures are with wi-fi/3G ON and the notorious battery hogging google location services wakelock in the non F-droid setups (since I use location services and hangouts). Will update with screenshots when I can get them.

Thanks for this amazing ROM which has given a new lease of life to my phone!
[Motorola Atrix 2] St.Noigel:
What do you mean "with F-droid setup"?
[Motorola Atrix 2] nma83:
F-droid is an alternative to the Play store. An F-droid based setup need not have gapps installed and hence eliminates all the wakelocks that the google services hold for location, gtalk etc. So I mean that I did not install gapps and hence did not have any google services running, but still leaked 5% an hour! That probably points to a weakening battery.
[Motorola Atrix 2] baySF:
After updating to the latest build, I can't access "My Apps" in the play store. That option is gone. A reboot didn't help. Does anyone know why?
