[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] epi4gtn:
I'm about to pick up an S4 and finally upgrade from my Epic 4G (goodbye physical slide out keyboard, you will be missed) but I wanted to get information from current owners about Carrier IQ and whether or not it's installed (or installed but disabled) on the Sprint version of the Galaxy S4.

Can anyone offer some insight into this?

Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Beezer80:
I believe carrier IQ was removed from every device.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AxAtAx:
when I build my roms, I remove them, so the answer is correct, they have been removed.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LouZiffer:
Sprint does not install Carrier IQ on their mobile devices, and had it removed from all newer devices in early 2012.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emtownsend:
I've got a Galaxy SIII on contract that

used to

expire in December but now expires in April. If I choose to take the Edge Program and upgrade "early", would I have to turn in my SIII or could I sell it on my own and apply that money toward a new phone?

I am torn between liking the ability to upgrade sooner, and hating the fact that my basic plan rate will not change even if I purchase the phone. It used to be that we subsidized our phones over two years on the plan, now, we pay subsidized rates PLUS Edge rates. So, effectively Verizon has raised our rates, if we choose to go Edge, right? Well, I digress... I am mainly interested in whether or not I can sell my phone or if I have to turn it in, and is the Edge Program really worth it for someone who can't stomach having a phone that is two years old... LOL
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Div033:
So with Edge you can get more frequent upgrades through verizon but it's as if you're buying the device off-contract and paying for it over time. Once you've paid at least half of the device's full price + at least 6 months has gone by you can choose to "Edge up" and get a new phone immediately by trading in your old phone. Thing is the cost you're paying monthly has been refreshed to the full price of the new device.

It's not really a good deal since you're essentially paying $300 + your old phone for a new one, plus it guarantees Verizon more income since each edge ensures you're paying full price.

You can get the same deal by waiting 6 months, selling your phone, buying a new one off contract. In many cases this may actually be cheaper. The GS3 is on the verge of going below $300 on eBay (in fact I think it already has). But of course that's an added hassle some don't want to deal with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] emtownsend:
Ah, OK. That makes sense. I'm gunning for the Note 3 when it arrives. Then I guess I can put the Note 3 on their device payment plan like I did my Note 10.1 (instead of Edge). The advantage being I get something from my old phone. Cool.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Restola:
If you have a minute read post 1 and post 3 that I wrote on the ac forums. The edge program is beyond a ripoff. It's designed to rob you blind and get you trapped even without a contract and with no device subsidy (because let's be honest if you could whip out a wad of cash any time you wanted you probably wouldn't be on this kind of plan anyways). http://forums.androidcentral.com/showthread.php?t=297933

So i havent found anyone who has been able to get us out of this TWRP loop from the VZW OTA that we tried to install, and it also seems no one can get into download mode either. So I just wanted to open this thread up for instructions on how to solve this problem, if anyone can chime in here it would be a good guide for everyone without having to bounce around from thread to thread to find the answer

Try this: unplug the phone from any connection, leave it unplugged and hold down the power button for 2 minutes no less than, and see if you can boot.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davin8r:
Thanks, but this just results in endless cycling between TWRP boot screen and LG screen, back and forth continuously while power button is held held down (tried it for well over 2 minutes while keeping an eye on my watch).

There will be a way to clear the OTA in TWRP, the devs have said so, we are just waiting on instructions

I laso have a 1G SD card inn the slot. I run TomTom 3 but it will lock and I am unable to run the points of intrest as this lock its dead. I hear that there is a ROM and Raidio update which fixes alot of the problems can someone tell me how to do this and were to down load from.

Current ROM Update for XDAIIi

Please download this file. On install if it doesn't update 1st time run the update again and it will install.

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.co...ified_XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.3.rar
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BryantI:
Thanks I have down loaded and copied to XDAIIi but how do I run it?????
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Danny-B-:
you run it from your PC when the XDA is in the cradle , it WILL remove all settings and programs you currently have on the device so make sure you backup what you want to keep.

It hard resets your phone, and upgrades to the newest version ROM.

it might error the first time ... simply run the program again and it will work.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BryantI:
The down load won't run as file format unknow?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Danny-B-:
It is packed in an rar archive.

You need a program called Winrar to open the archive, which you can download free here http://www.rarlabs.com/download.htm <--- download the top one "WinRAR 3.50"

Once downloaded install it. Once installed right click the ROM archive you downloaded here and select "Extract to Modified_XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.3"

then you should see a new folder appear with the upgrade program and files inside.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BryantI:
Great thanks alot.
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] BryantI:
I have now used the phone complete with TomTom 3 all working and no crashs in 4 days it makes the XDAIIi a real usable tool for me. Thanks to you all and keep up the great work.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
Hi, I'm hoping to get the new Windows Mobile 5 device dubbed the HTC Universal, AKA o2 xda Exec.

TomTom tell me TomTom Navigator 5 is NOT compatible with it.

www.mobilefun.co.uk state that it is compatible.

Some people on forums say they have 5.1 working with the device.

Other people state the Bluetooth won't lock in.

Does anyone here know the truth?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] weatheryoko:
Yes it will work

It works. I use TT 5.1 about every day (via a bluetooth receiver). Here's the instructions to install the program.

http://www.pocketgps.co.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=28171&highlight=

Go about half way down.

To install your BT GPS receiver. First pair the device. Then add a new COM Port under the Bluetooth settings. You want to add an OUTGOING port. I usually specify it as COM0. Then start up TT5, go into GPS configuration, selct "Other BT Receiver", then select COM0 from the menu. TOMTOM will automatically start up BT (it doesn't have to on before you launch the program), find the already paired receiver and start communicating with (give it some time though. the whole process takes about 30 seconds to a minute).

Hope this helps.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] CJSnet:
Cool, thanks!

And finally... I assume the Universal can support 2 simultaneous bluetooth connections? E.g. can I use TomTom with the bluetooth GPS at the same time as speaking on a bluetooth car kit?

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sl9:
Re: How on earth did you manage to get TT5.0 to work?

It does work, if you follow the guide in this thread exactly:

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=28386

However, I had to use COM4 instead of COM0.

I also had a problem where I connected everything to the right COM port, could see TomTom accessing the GPS device by the LEDs, but still "no GPS device found!" - it seems TomTom likes your GPS device better if it's actually locked onto a signal (so go outside!), give all this a try :)
