I'm not sure. I use the stock TV app because I run Sense based roms, but I do know there are some apps in the themes and apps section.

I downloaded a few of them, all really disappointing after using HTC's stock app.

Can anyone link me to the latest Smart IR remote app apk? It was removed from the play store and the version I got from google 1.3.2 crashes and 1.2.0 doesn't work at all.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Accessories] wraithevolution:
Thanks for this detailed write up on the case! I too have one as well and I love it. I've always gone with the Active cases for all my phones, I love them. They always feel so solid and premium to me. As for the softness of the silicon, I don't think it will be an issue. I still have my S3 and it was always in an Active case as well, with lots and lots of use. I just compared the two and the softness seems identical to me. So I think it should hold up over time. It's definately my favorite case!
[Galaxy S 4 Active Accessories] GAIAStevef:
Good write-up! Thank you.

I've been wanting to get one of these cases, so this was timely running across your review.

Out of curiosity, how long have you had your Active case for the Nexus ? I've got one on mine that's probably 7 months old now, and I've noticed no "stretching" of the silicone liner, even with a lot of "on and off's" from my Nexus.

Maybe it's a variance between manufactured runs, but while I certainly wouldn't say that mine is "rigid", it's not really "soft" either.... in that I can't mar, or mark it with a fingernail or anything.

If it's the same for this case for the GS4A, then I'll be a happy camper.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Accessories] Avail211:
I've only had the case on my Nexus since July and I haven't removed it at all. So far I'm impressed with it and I think it's a worthwhile case. It's a little overkill for what I use it for, a TPU case would probably work just fine, but I like the stand and the screen protection in case I need to throw it in a bag or something. As far as the review I might have been a little unclear about the N7 case... The silicon is less firm than the iPhone 4 case BUT after using it for the last couple months I think it'll be fine.

The S4A silicon is thinner and softer than the N7 case IMO. You know how the edges on our N7s comes off but you have to (more or less) consciously push it off? The S4A pops up/off with barely a touch. Since it's in/out of pockets quite a bit during the day I think it'll either wear out or get torn at the bottom. I'm not going to get rid of it or anything, I do believe the case will protect the S4A if dropped, but the softness of the silicon bugs me a little.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Accessories] Jimmy2u:
Thanks for the wonderful info...it was quite interesting one to go through it....
[Galaxy S 4 Active Accessories] pyro254750:
For what it's worth regarding the softness of the silicone. I had a galaxy note which is much larger than these phones with an active case on it for a year in heavy use daily and the only wear it ever showed is the matte finish on the back got shiny from all the handling. Silicone still looked like new with no tears. Many many hard drops on concrete where I worked and never any damage to phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Active Accessories] chronos00:
I can't find the case for SG4A on the vendor's web site.

It looks nice in theory, but I've heard about multiple problems with it. Have you used it? What are your impressions?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] boybill:
Yes, I have used it many times since the first CM10.2 nightlies started coming out.It is buggy on my device, but it seems to be improving. Its got some really neat features.With time it will probably develop into a very nice camera app.Now you can just get it from the market and play around with it.:good:
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thirdgen87:
hi, guys. Ive done a search on the forums and cant seem to find the answer. I tried to root and put cyanogenmod on my g2. Following the instructions on cyanogenmod. Everything seemed to go well until i tried to push the rom to the phone. When i went to reboot into bootloader the radio was back on and the pc10img file downloaded. Now I can get the phone to turn on. But when i shut it off it takes forever to be able to turn back on. Sometimes I have to remove the battery. Then it turns on. My question is am I stuck in a loop, root, do I need to unroot. Im at a loss here. Any help would be appreciated. Im even willing to set up a remote session if someone is willing to do it. I thank You in advance for your help.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
You need to take the pc10img.zip off your phone to get to recovery, or at least rename it
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thirdgen87:
I can get into bootlog and recovery. I used a temporary sdcard from another phone. I can see the zip files on the sdcard in the other phone. The sdcard is in my other phone now not the g2. How do get it off the g2? I dont know where to look. The power issue is almost like the phone is doing something with the power off. Is this possible? heres what the G2 says:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thirdgen87:
i forgot to mention that i never flashed the rom. I was trying to do it and thats when the PC10img file loaded again. Which i believe took the S off back to S on. I dont know if the PC10img ever went to the phone. As i can see it on the sdcard itself.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demkantor:
Well now you're downgraded to froyo so just follow the cyanogen wiki or xda wiki again starting after the downgrade point. So long as you can boot to os you should be fine

If you get error messages post them

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] steelred:
Hey guys, :)

This is a possible fix for anyone who is experiencing all of the following issues. If you are NOT experiencing all of these issues then my fix is most likely not the cause of your problem.

1) Can't boot into ROM (phone will get no farther than GALAXY S III logo)

2) Can't boot into RECOVERY (phone will try to boot into recovery but will never make it)

3) Can't boot into DOWNLOAD (you may get as far as the caution screen but phone will turn off)

4) Phone starts, then turns off after about 3 seconds.

The solution that worked for me involves the power switch. It turns out that the reason you are unable to boot is because your power button is constantly being pressed due to a "sticky" button. This is a hardware flaw with only a temporary solution.

Steps to FIX issue.

1. Use fingernail to gently remove POWER BUTTON from phone. Notice that the bumps in the middle of the button are a little off-center.

2. Use a pair of fine tip tweezers to gently PULL on the yellowish/white POWER SWITCH inside the phone.

3. Test the fix by reinserting the battery. If the phone doesn't auto boot then press the POWER SWITCH with the end of your tweezers.

4A. If phone continues to power cycle then return to step 2.

4B. If phone properly boots then reinsert the POWER BUTTON with bumps in the middle aligned with the POWER SWITCH. If you don't align the bumps then the button will not function properly.

Once again, if this fix did not work for you then your problem is most likely in software (bootloader) and not hardware. ;)

Hope this helps someone. Cheers! :highfive:

Think this post might help

This is the problem I'm having from the sound of it. I haven't had any problems for the last three weeks I've been using LiquidSmooth and it doesn't act like a ROM problem. I noticed the power button wouldn't shut my screen off today out of the blue. I thought it was strange so maybe wipe cache and dalvik just in case... No Dice.

Stuck in a vibrating boot loop from there even after each attempted battery pull. However somehow I was able to finally get the phone to boot by holding the right button combo to get download mode... Waiting for it to restart right away then doing another battery pull... This let's it boot and has worked half a dozen times tonight...

Soooo... pull the power button off with fingernails? Serious? I've had the phone a month and a half maybe so would like to know this happens without breaking any additional connections or whatever if that makes sense... Thanks for the post.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] romanlynch:
Just loaded the VX version of this ROM onto my Jewel the other night and while just about everything works right I do have an odd problem. When I try to go into Settings > Personalize it force closes and I get a message that says 'Unfortunately, Settings has stopped' Every thing else works fine, just this. Any one have any ideas?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] romanlynch:
Backup and re-install I guess
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] santi961:
Hey XDA Community,

I've had my S3 for about a year and a half.

It's on Stock ROM because I hard bricked my Epig 4G

Until recently, my phone has been acting really weird.

What's been happening is that the phone's been turning off and on randomly and sometimes not so randomly.

When it turns off randomly, it just turns off, but in other cases when I press the power button, for turning on screen, it acts as if i'm holding the button down and powers off. The same thing happens with the home button sometimes, I tap it once and it opens S Voice.

When it turns off and I try to turn it back on what happens is that it loads initial samsung screen, then the Samsung S III Loading screen, and then it vibrates and turns back off. When it's charging, the battery icon appears for a split second, vibrates, and then disappears.

It would take some time but eventually it would go back to normal.

I looked this problem up and apparently it's caused by installing an app that doesn't work well with the computer.

What happened to me today is that it won't even turn on.

What happens is that it vibrates and that's it.

I even took out the SD Card and Battery. when I connected it to a wall socket all it did was turn on the Red LED light at the top left, vibrate, and then turn off.

What could cause this problem?

And, How can I reset my phone even if it won't turn on?

Thank You

PS. Here's a Video youtube com/ watch?v=9XIW3Oy6u9Y
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] joeyhdownsouth:
Explain "app that doesn't work well with computer"

It's not bricked until it's completely lifeless, have you tried recovery or download mode?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
Your phone has SDS sudden death syndrome. The power button failed. It's a known defect with the S3. They will fix it as they know it's a factory defect. It fails at the board. It's not the physical button itself. Very common issue. If you would have used the search function you would have found your answer. Search is your friend.

This also is not a brick.

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] santi961:
But the thing is that I just did a search and it says that for Jellybean 4.2+ the bug is fixed and I'd updated my phone to 4.2 before it had SDS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
It's not a bug. It's a physical defect on the phone. It's hardware failure.

There is no such thing as update to 4.2 for our phone. This phone only has 4.1.2

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] santi961:
Ok, I'll have it checked out.

THANK YOU!!! :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ImInSpace:
Hey guys, I have a few questions about flashing cm 10.1 wild for the night to my epic 4g touch on sprint. Im not new to this kind of stuff (i put android on my HP touchpad when development for android on it was fairly new successfully) but ive never flashed any roms on my E4GT. I have my phone rooted on GB27, besides for that its all stock though. I havent messed with any modems or custom recoveries or anything like that. Anyways, here are my questions:

How do I flash Clockwork mod?

Do I want to flash the ICS modem before or after the installation of CM? And do I have to have Clockwork Mod installed to flash the modem using mobile odin?

And should I basically follow QBkings video on it after installing CWM and the modem?

Thanks everyone!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Gil81:
First... mobile Odin will not flash modem's correctly..

Second.. I like to flash my modem first ( if I'm already on touchwiz ) because I can update my prl/profile..you can't update them on aosp/aokp/cm roms..

Third... use Odin on you're PC to flash cwm recovery...never use rom manager on this device... really you could use mobile Odin to flash.. remember that our recoveries are tied to the kernel's on this device..

Since you're already rooted you can use a little guide I made for flashing using mobile Odin... I can find the post if you want..

[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] turtlesoup2:
i haven't rooted a phone since my old incredible, but now i was thinking about rooting my htc incredible 4g. have a few questions revolving around this process in general.

1. does the HTC dev unboot work for the incredible 4g?

3. is there anything special i need to do beforehand? factory reset?

5.does Bluetooth work for CM10.1 work? are there any significant issues?

thanks for any help!!
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jcpowell:
All your answers are in these forums but where they are not is in this thread, let me try to explain and answer your question with answers, OK.

HTC Dev unboot is in no relation to HTC Dev unlock but if the monkey has been spanked then you can try to flash him over. Now if the monkey in question is albino then yes HTC Dev unboot will not work.

Bluetooth had been known to be disobedient and carry a grudge against the cookie monster. So your answer cookie monster.

You should always do things before factory reset or rooting your phone like

Via adb you must sideload a wanker and judge him from there, this should get the blind heretics to believe that it has superuser permission. The firmware you use should be free of any viruses or termites to avoid getting CPU rot keep that in mind when choosing which firmware to flash. Flashing should also be done at night to avoid disobedience from the day gods who hate herpes which will have no effect on the outcome of your wifes pregnancy test but still... It's just good practice.

I hope I answered all your questions before the mod deletes this.:)

BEfore you kill me, Yes I wnet trough the FAQ-s, but as BA is over 1 year old, I guess most of the info is too current.

Anyway, to be on the safe side, I would like to ask two questions.

1.) What is thew Best/most Stable english Rom currently for BA, if combination which Ext-rom, radio-rom, rom?

My priority is:

Very good Bluetooth (as I will have more than 1 BT headset paired, and GPSis also Bt)

2.) THis might sound a little stupid: I currently have MDAII, so I just have to backup PIM(phone no. and appointment) and save if on SD and my new BA would restore fine?

THx a million
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] valheru:
Don't feel bad but if you read the posts you would see the BA has had horrible BT problems. I'd poke around some more.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] oalex:
OMG:( I do feel bad, I just bought the BA 4 hours ago (am still at work so, have not yet tried it out).

And I got it for 2 reasons (I've had MDAII for 2 years, and was satisfied till now):

1). I like new stuff:)

2.) I got a bike and with that I needed a helmet and because of that I got a Helmet Bt headset (this is fixed stationary on the helmet). But with the MDII I could not configure for 2 two Bt headsets (it paired both but only one would works, that is always the second one in respect to pairng. When I got on the bike I hade to re-pair the headset on the helmet (Cardo scaler) and when I got of I had to re-pair the other (Logitech). Someone told me that with the MDAIII you had the option to have to headsets installed and select with you prefared to use with the stylus in some settings area.

I hope to god that he didn't make it up, cause I would kill myself. But plz correct me if its not so....

P.S: i wouldn't mind an answer to my second question too, about the xbackup thing for PIM data.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] weasel:
I would recommend either the QTEK or imate 1.40 ROMs with Radio 1.13. Bluetooth is just about usable - apart from audio quality of Bluetooth, I like my BAs (both of them).
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] oalex:
thx, then I'll go with i-mate.

BTW any info on the back up thing?? it seems so simple that no one wants to answer.

I dont want to install outlook just to be able to tranfer my contacts and appointments for the old device to the new one.

P.S: do you have any info with regardds to the dual headset support thing?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] valheru:
I dont think you can use your current PDA proprietary pim backup software to save your contacts, etc. Are you syncing with your PC? If so, when you have your new device, just establish a partnership and you'll be good to go.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] weasel:
I use sprite for full system level backups, but I don't know how you'd use this for just transfering contacts etc. I use outlook at work & home so its not an issue for me - I just make sure I set up activsync so that I DO NOT sync my inbox
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] oalex:
Do I need any extra patches, or are all those listed in the cooked ext-rom section included in the i-mate 1.40? (example Wireless manager fix...etc.)

Latest stable english rom you can flash your device with, its 1.40.00 ASIAN o2 WWE, you can flash it but you need the noID file, which is also included, I've wrote a tutorial on the installation in the wiki too on that site, go check. :)

Since the recovery partition has been highjacked for writing to the /system directory does this mean that we will have a custom recovery any time soon to flash custom ROMs? Or is my grand leap of conjecture just that?

Please forgive me if this has already been posted, or if it's regarded as common knowledge. I couldn't find mention of this anywhere in the S4 forums, so I figured that it might not be widely known.

I was reading a post about a hidden debug menu in the stock browser for a different device, so I thought I would try it in the S4, and it works!

Open the browser.

In the url bar, type chrome://debug

It should say "This web page is not available". Ignore that message, but don't close the tab.

Then press menu and tap settings. You will see a new menu item: Debug.

In there, you will see a hidden menu of settings including, most interestingly, an option 'UAString' which lets you change the user agent ID which tells websites what browser you are using. In other words, you can set your browser to tell websites that you're using a desktop, or an iPhone, or a tablet, etc. Other browsers, like Dolphin or Boat Browser, have this option. You can use it to avoid getting mobile versions of websites by default, or to access certain features on websites only available to iPhone users.

Once again, I apologise if this is old news. Let me know if it is

Hope it's helpful.
