[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0adband:
I just got a GS4A in somewhat terribad physical condition but it works 100% and it didn't come with any of the original accessories (box, adapter, microUSB cable, and of course the earbuds).

Can anyone that has purchased a GS4A brand new tell me if the stock Samsung earbuds have a volume control in the little remote pod in the cord, and if it can be used for controlling playback as well (Play/Pause, maybe 2 clicks for next song, 3 clicks for Previous, that sort of thing)?

Been searching for an answer but haven't found one yet, not sure precisely which earbuds are included with the GS4A so if anyone can take a picture of theirs or the remote pod (close up/macro image) I'd greatly appreciate it, thanks.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cederic:
The headset that came with my i9295 has controls, yes, and they work well. I think they can do double-tap for next song in the player I use (poweramp), but don't hold me to that because I got a much nicer set of headphones with my purchase from the store (SOL republic Tracks HD), so I haven't been using the included earbuds much at all.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] my-blue-snog-box:
Are you talking about the international version or the SGH-I537? I have the I537 and it didn't come with any earbuds...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cederic:
My international one did, but honestly it wouldn't have been a big loss if it didn't. As most bundled earbuds they are good enough, but nothing to be all that happy about. The shape makes them hang a bit awkwardly in my particular ears, and they seem to get pulled out a lot easier than other earbuds I use. The only reason I use them at all is that they are a compatible headset that is more discrete for use when I'm out on town, rather than my over-ear Tracks HD that I use to listen to music and so when I'm at home.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] br0adband:
Wow, AT&T being so cheap they can't toss in a pair of $3 earbuds, good lord.

Oh well, I found some on eBay that claim to be the "real deal" Samsung product, which upon getting them I will promptly disassemble and attach my current Koss earbuds where were previously transplanted onto an iPod/iPhone earbud cable. :)

Thanks for the info...
[Galaxy S 4 Active Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cederic:
Good choice, Koss earbuds are way superior to these. Unfortunately I don't have the tools right now or I'd do the same myself, I have a pair of old Koss where the contact broke that are just waiting for such a project.

Hi everyone,

Thank you for the great info on getting the galaxy nexus over to page plus.

I've followed dragonhart's youtube video, a blog post based on that

and gone through some of the original threads referenced in the discussions

I probably hit half of the snags mentioned in those articles but have overcome most so far. The one i'm stumped on is the ETS script to program the via chipset.

When running the script after putting in the appropriate values, I get the following error:

ETS, Id=CP Fault, Unit=HLW... Code 1=HLP_ERR_ACTIVE_PARM_PROFILE_ID, Code 2=0x00000001, Fault Type=Continue

Stepping through the code, this occurs on the line (approx) 106, where the active profile id is set:

ETS, Id=CP Active Profile ID Set, ParmOperationId=Profile Id of Active Profile Set, opType=Parm Custom Value, ActiveProfile=0

The script finishes, installing back to VZW Toro rom and placing simcard results in talk and text but no data.

If I change the ActiveProfile to 1 instead of 0, the script finishes with no errors but installing VZW Toro rom + sim card still results in talk and text but no data.

I also tried modifying the line below to set the number of profiles set parameter to 2 instead of 1 (I just took a wild guess that since I was using profile id 1, I needed to change it). It had no effect.

Next, i thought maybe my sim card was bad so I ordered a new one. Still no go.

I've reinstalled the via drivers and ets multiple times and gone through the process multiple times after restoring factory settings with *#*#786#*#* each time.

SID, IMEI, MIN, MDN are all verified and correct.

Does anyone have any good suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks a ton for all the helpful posts on the forums so far. I've been learning alot.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] dgma:
data was working for a little while

Actually as I think of it now, I remember that data was indeed working for a day or two.

However, i was using my verizon sim card from my previous verizon account (where I migrated from to pageplus).

I know this b/c I see that 10mb was used so data was working.

Then suddenly 3G stopped working. I'm guessing they disabled my verizon subscription and my account as well.

However, I've gotten a new sim card and it still doesn't work. Do you think they've essentially somehow 'banned' my phone?

1.I have twerp

2.my entire system is blank from what i know (although it has title screen and basic boot)

4.i have a usb cable for it (not factory cable)

5.im scared as hell

Unless you have FireFireFire (blue Kindle Fire logo) installed, you need a factory cable.
[Kindle Fire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SwoRNLeaDejZ:
If you used KFU to flash TWRP and root then it is my understanding that you have FFF. Excuse me if this is a silly question, but why not just mount sdcard in recovery, place a ROM on your internal storage, and gapps, and then flash both of them after doing the necessary wipes? You may lose some if not all of your data, but at least you Kindle will be fixed ;)

Let me know if you need more detailed instructions.

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AjStone:
Hello all. I am the owner of a Motorola Droid MAXX as my signature can testify. It is easily the best smartphone I've owned but there are a small handful of questions. First one follows.

The volume rocker on the left seems to only control the ringer volume. To change the notifications or media volume I have to go to Settings > Sounds. This hasn't been true on all my previous Android phones. Why is this different? Is there an app that I can buy that will synchronize the volumes when I press the hardware buttons? Have others experienced this?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Sent via Motorola Droid MAXX
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorque:
Mine's working just fine. Notification volume levels have been tied in with the ringer volume levels since ICS, if I'm not mistaken, and changing the volume in an app that's playing sounds affects the media volume on my end at least.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AjStone:
Mine is definitely not synchronized. Any idea how to fix it?

[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 18t:
Mine is the same as the OP
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Khanusma:
Mine also has no option to synchronize that I can find.

I believe there are some apps that have widgets that let you see the volume on the home screen and quick click into the volume change setting. Ill have to go find one b/c its a pain in the butt to not know what level my notifications are at unless I go into settings.

Mine is also not synchronized.

Its also hard to get adjusted to the vibrating mechanism in this phone. You will rarely hear it vibrate but you can sort of feel it if it's in your pocket.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zorque:
Weird, I tested it out and it looks like my notification volume isn't synchronized either even though all my other ICS/JB phones have been. As far as I'm aware it acts like it is though, I'm pretty sure my text notifications at least have been quieter or louder at different times. I wonder if I should let Motorola know or if it's something intentional?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlspatt:
Volume Control in the Play Store works and is free, but occasionally the ringer volume doesn't change the notification--even if linked--when using the volume rocker; but it works flawlessly if you open the icon and use the slider. But not bad for free.

Haven't tried the paid one linked above to compare them. Maybe after work when I have more time.
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bwheelies:
My RAZR MAXX has the same as op is referring to. I don't mind it. You have to be in the app to change its volume with the rocker.

Coming from a GNex, this device is nothing but improvement other than not having an unlocked bootloader and root. If at the minimum they(developers) can not get the Verizon version rooted during my 14 day return period, this device will be going back. Too much BS loaded on this thing, but I do want to love it. Is there a bounty yet for root and unlock??
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeaconBoogie:
I also came from a GNex, so same here. Love the new G2 phone, but I am not sure why Verizon always seems to go through the added effort of obfuscating root for power users.

Root is the absolute bare minimum for me. For now, I am in a two week holding pattern... I can't get too attached to the device because if there's no root, the phone is worthless.

Nothing is going to happen on the vzw g2 until usb debugging works properly. As far as it looks right now there is nobody on a vzw g2 that has it actually working.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mouf32:
Agreed just left my Gnex also. I think I will stick it out past the 14 days. VZW doesn't have anything else to offer even close to the G2. The S4 doesn't interest me at all.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] p2im0:
I'm in the same boat. on a GNex for 2 years and this is the first device that's coaxed me to switch. If we don't have (at least) root by 2 weeks it's going back and I'm back to the drawing board. I'm okay with waiting on the bootloader but that could also be a risk given the current status for other devices still not being unlocked.

Part of the reason I've stuck with the GNex so long is the custom ROM scene - and specifically Paranoid Android which is fantastic on that device. G2 has me happy so far but getting rid of the VZW turn on/off sounds and animations is the first thing that has to go.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heffzilla:
I picked up an s4 for my wife when I got my g2, after using both, g2 is much better imo
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lesser Version:
We are truly in the same boat like you said. The rom scene is what kept the GNex shortcomings(battery life/radios) in check. You are right about the current rate at which bootloaders are being unlocked. Nexus devices may be the only way to go. Does anyone know LG's history for having devices unlockable( bootloader), dev support, and receiving android updates? My relationship with this phone so far is like that hot girl at the bar who's got it all, but something just doesn't seem right.....:confused:
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helpme364:
The thing that doesn't seem right is that it's on Verizon (read: mental issues). I really want to nab this thing, but with the way the GS4 was handled, along with the HTC One, I don't know if I can bring myself to do it.

Can someone tell me how to custom restore from my backup. My backup is 5 months old and don't want to totaly restore it with the recovery.

what options do I have to choose at the custom recovery screen?

1. The bootloader (I can enter into recovery mode but cannot boot normal). Am I gonna loose the recovery func? because when backed up didn't have it!

2. The kernel (To make the phone to boot into recovery I flashed the Philz kernel)

3. ex-tweaks start up values (This is what I mess, if I can restore the values from my backup everything will boot normal)

PLEASE!

Edit-

I try to restore the boot from my backup but error MD5 mismatch came up

Please help

How I fixed it:

After I was trying kernels from the date of my last backup, one worked. The only program until now missing was extweaks, so I first reset the profile from the recovery screen and then I installed it.

Hello, I work for a small wireless company and have been given the opportunity to find new devices. Unfortunately, we have an odd mix of equipment that the phones have to be able to use. I'll list the requirements below, but I'm asking for your help to determine what devices would be able to use our network well, as I'm a little new to this.

Here's the list:

4G: They have to be in Band 4 which is AWS frequency.

3G: We need AWS 1700/2100. If it only lists 2100, it will likely not be sufficient since international companies use 2100 for both uplink and downlink. We just use it for downlink.

2G: 1900 MHz

We are looking at the Samsung Galaxy S3 T999, as an example, but we are looking at all different price points, and OS's.

I unrooted it fine using htcdev and getting the unlock_code.bin. Then I uploaded a recovery TWRP just fine and got in there and saw that it worked fine. Rebooted into normal and copyed the Revolution HD zip to my phone, but reading the thread it said that i needed to update my firmware.

So I looked and found that I needed to get firmware.zip from 1.29.206.11

But the link on that page takes you to a firmware of 3.06.1700.01 or something close to that. I didn't notice the numbers were different so I did the flash with fimware 3.06.1700.01 instead of the 1.29.206. 11.

Booting the phone does nothing, it sits on the HTC one screen with Beats audio. Also the AT&T chimes no longer chime when on that page and then it just sits there. When booting with the down volume button I get a black screen instead of white screen. With a dead android on the bottom instead of the 3 little androids dancing (or whatever they are doing).
