[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Haphim:
Really? Well first of all, your call screen image is *not* what I'm talking about. For incoming calls, I'm talking about this:

So if this phone is for your grandma, and this is what she sees when someone calls her - and she goes into a panic because she doesn't see any obvious way to answer or not answer the call - you're going to go with "dude - answer is always to the right, and reject is always to the left"?

Sorry, but that doesn't cut it. In every other incarnation of cell phones I have ever handled, when someone calls you, there is an instant visual indicator on the UI of what to do if you want to answer, and what to do if you want to hang up. On *this* call screen, there is no such indicator - and nothing shows up unless and until you press the center dot. This is NOT intuitive, it's NOT quick, and for anyone who isn't a power user who has the procedure ingrained in muscle memory, it's a royal pain in the ass.

And then we get to outgoing calls, where I'm talking about this:

And once again, a person has to guess what icon does what. Sure, if you're an experienced power user, you can guess with a decent probability of being correct - but for inexperienced users, it's not even clear that these are buttons as opposed to indicator icons. Contrast this with the gingerbread screen, where everything was clearly labeled, and there was no ambiguity over what button does what.

As for your market link - I appreciate the link, but although that might be a slight benefit for the incoming screen, I don't think it's designed to do anything about the outgoing screen. I'm still looking for a way to customize both.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mattdm:
...........I know. I already explained that to geoldr up there. Why would I post a picture of the CM answer screen; you already know what it looks like. I was posting a picture of the stock answer screen to show you that the motions are the same whether you're on CM or TW.

No, you're right; you do have to learn it the first time you get a call. But then after you see that answer is to the right and reject is to the left, you don't have to wonder any more. You just know. You make it sound like you have to learn something new every time.

It may not be intuitive, but it is quick. I agree, though; it would be better for the indicators to be visible before the center handle is pressed.

Here I definitely agree with you; they should be labeled.

I don't think you can. You could try out some different CM10 themes, but I don't know if any add labels to those buttons.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Haphim:
Have you ever known someone (usually an older person) for whom you have had to explain and re-explain how to do the same thing dozens, if not hundreds of times? For some people, if the procedure for how to complete a task is not obvious, they just have a really hard time getting it. This is magnified exponentially if they are flustered during the procedure - such as when a phone is ringing and they are desperately trying to figure out how to answer before the other person hangs up.

Even for the average person, it's not difficult to forget which way to swipe for each action. So although they might remember that they have to swipe the dot, since the targets are not initially shown, if they mix up the directions, they might accidentally answer a call they were trying to reject. Obviously, this can have unfortunate consequences.

So I don't think I'm off target by describing this as a poorly designed call screen. If it works well for you, then that's fantastic, and I'm glad your experience is that much better. But it annoys me, and it's outright unuseable by others - so I think it's reasonable to look for a way to improve it.

Thanks. I was hoping for a different answer, but if that's the case, then so be it. I'll take a further look at the link you gave earlier to see if that's a good choice to at least deal with the incoming call screen.

hi guys, regarding a black screen issue on my hox i returned to HTC for repair, an this morning i recieved an email saying the following...

"Our initial assessment of your device indicates that the repair work required is caused by damage that isn’t covered by warranty. Unfortunately, this means we must charge you for the repair."

then when i goto the link they supplied to see my quote the following is said

I am just wondering, is the main board really not covered by their warranty????

any advice welcome
[HTC One X] desmond1303:
The mainboard is but apparently the damage is not.

There is really nothing you can do about it now...

Because I work in a harsh environment (Auto Tech), I've been searching for tempered glass screen protectors since I decided to get the Z Ultra. Looks like my prayers been answered and tempered glass screen protectors are coming from two reputable companies. One from Armorz and one from well known Spigen. The amazon link on Armorz website just went live but is a dead end for now and Spigen is listed for release on the 30th on amazon. Also my Watson flip case should arrive today from Incipio. CANT WAIT TO GET SOOM HIGH-END PROTECTION FOR MY NEW BEAST PHONE!!!

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] cholepuree1:
great news! Also, how is the watson case? I'm really interested in it. Is it just the feather case with the with the flap?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hutchins:
The Watson case is a great case. Very premium and matches the case. I thought the inner case was gonna have the soft touch coating but it's just hard plastic. Also it covers the dock ports and the sd/sim port. But I plan on modding the case to access the dock ports. The case protects the phone fully against drops.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] omegafiler:
Damn, but $35 sure is pricey for screen-only protection. I'd expect at least front & back for that price. Although if it feels like glass (as opposed to rubber) and has some anti-fingerprint features, could be worth it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] fourthirty:
Looking at their other tempered glass products, they do come with their ultra clear back film as well. So I can only assume that it will come with this as well (though you know what they say about assuming). But it would've been great if they had a glass front AND back option.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gqskrub:
Please pardon the Noobism but we all have to start somewhere right?

1) Once I install a ROM (Hyperdrive) must I install safestrap again? (is safestrap something inside each Rom or does it live elsewhere and just need to be activated?)

2) I made my first partition 1GB and while restoring apps from Play store I got an error message about memory being too low. Does safestrap make the system think my entire phone is only 1GB because that's how I partitioned it? If that is the case isn't 4GB too little?

3) Is there a way for different partitions to "share" apps or must each ROM download the same version of Google Maps?

Thank you for your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Obsidian_soul:
Safestrap it's a system level apk it doesn't need to be reinstalled a second time. It will show up every time you bootbecause it hijacks the boot process.it lives below the level of the rom your running.

Your first problem it's the 1gb partition way to small reset your slot and run a 2 or 3gb slot.

The partitions share your system level apps but the ones you download address treated separately.I would invest in titanium backup and use that to restore apps between roms.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bignazpwns:
Anyone got a list of roms that will work with this?

Also if I make a restore like I do on all my phones. Move it to my sd card to free up space. And say somthing happens and I mess up. I just gotta fire up oden and flash the stock stuff. But could I flash the restore with oden? I never used it. Also if that happens could I flash back to stock with oden. Re install safestrap put the recovery file back on the fone and flash it back with safestrap? Just trying to get a idea on recovering from say a bad flash or somthing like that.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] desantim:
There's a thread for that - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2448726 :)

I do not believe you can flash the restore with ODIN. You basically go into SS and restore from your backup. I'm loving SS so far. Very ingenious, I actually think it's a helluva step up from a true TWRP/CWM. The slots are awesome, makes swapping roms so much easier, boot into SS, enable different slot, and go. That's it. I love that stock is always there if I need to go back to it. I wish there was a way to visualize the space on my phone a bit more or share the data partition between each slot, that way I don't have to reload apps every single time. But I digress, it's AWESOME

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xmguy:
I installed SafeStrap and skipped the Kernel (because I'm not using it for flashing roms, just for backup).

So when I go to backup I get an error E: Unable to locate '/boot' partition for backup.

Is this an issue, if so how can I correct it? I'm sure the "boot" partition is VERY important and I don't want to loose my files and have to Odin back to stock. If I installed the 7ME kernel would the Odin files (Samsung OEM) flash the correct Kernel BACK?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Hashcode:
Currently there is a bug during the "Wipe" process where an error happens wiping /cache. The wipe works, but at this point you should reboot and go back into SS and continue from there.

I'm working on a fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dinc2010:
Thank you. Didnt think of trying that :)

So, now I tried flashing Eclipse Rom, which is said to function well with SS but so far Wifi is not turning on :(

Am I supposed to flash a different kernel along with the Rom?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bfmetcalf:
There is a kernel modules zip in the op ghat you need to flash. Make sure to read things through very thoroughly, i feel bad when i read about bricks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] dinc2010:
Thank you for your concern. Just read the whole thing again!

The Kernel did fix the WiFi issue. Now the only thing I see is Network Name "??<??A????.??" instead of Verizon Wireless
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bfmetcalf:
It does that for me as well. It's a glitch in the ROM and I believe is even posted as a known issue in the OP of the ROM thread.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xmguy:
Do I need that Kernel if I'm just backing up and restoring a STOCK ROM from one S4 to another? I'm getting a Can't find /BOOT Partition error during backup. Can someone help?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] NilsP:
SS TWRP recovery can't touch the kernel hence the error. Stuck with stock kernel for now. That is why the modules zip on install is needed with roms that have custom kernel modules.

So, it will backup everything but boot.img
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mlin:
MDK Modules

I doubt there is much demand for this as there aren't many MDK based ROMs remaining, however, I put together this MDK modules zip so that I could try Ecliplse TW 2.0 with Dubbsy's GE ROM. Flash at your own risk.

FWIW, with Eclipse (MDK Based) as my "safe ROM" I was able to install Hyperdirve (ME7 based) to slot 1 and WiFi, Date, etc worked out of the box.

Yes, 4.4 is coming to the Verizon phones eventually. We won't be able to say if it's rootable or if it's possible to retain root or use Safestrap until it's released.

I was actually downloading the file straight to my phone. That will change the md5?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] decaturbob:
Can be problematic
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
No, it won't. However, downloads direct to the phone apparently seem to give people more troubles than downloads to a PC on the way.

ODIN verifies the MD5 of the downloaded files, which will tell you if the download is corrupted. If whatever you're using on the phone doesn't verify the MD5 prior to flashing, then you really shouldn't be using it.

There's always a pretty good chance of a bad download once you get files as big as your typical ROM. Always check it first.

On the other hand, if the MD5 verifies, it's fine. Some people here seem to think the MD5 checksum is unreliable, but they're wrong. It is completely impossible to have a corrupted tar file that unpacks properly while still passing the MD5 checksum.
