[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] bagelicious:
I haven't really looked into this ROM before but I had a question about it now. I recently moved and the T-Mobile service in my apartment is now garbage. I was wondering if there are any ROMs that have T-Mobile's wifi calling baked in? I am guessing that it is not likely due to how different the T-Mo version is to our phone but I figured it was worth a shot.

help with download

is this rom available for download only from mega only? i tried downloading from that site but its very tedious. can i get any mirror or can i download from somewhere else?? please help
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Killbillprime:
Hi guys I hope im just confusing myself! While reading some reviews I came across the tool spb benchmark, and thought il give it a try.

I received my xda exec today iv not installed any other 3rd party software that could cause problems

my Blueangel M2000: I have formatted it and reinstalled windows 2003 (Original ROM from orange)

IV attached a screen shot of the results table

the results are confusing the hellouta me, acording to the site(from my understanding) the higher the result the better the device has preformed- can som one just put my fears to rest please
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] qazzi76:
Can anyone else substantiate this????

If this is the case I'd certainly like to know how, why what rom versions were involved, whether or not hardware used in both devices can be verified as the same hardware...

Who benchmarked the 2 devices?????

Can Anyone shed any light on this????????
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] sl9:
The comparison is extremely unfair. If you put 8GB of RAM inside your PC, made a RAMDrive, and installed Windows XP into that, it would be far faster than if XP was installed on a hard disk. But you would lose ALL your data if the power source got interrupted.

That analogy is the same when comparing WM5 devices to WM2003SE devices. WM2003SE is installed into RAM, WM5 is installed into flash (persistent storage). Flash storage is a lot slower than RAM, but it uses a LOT less battery power than RAM, and you lose nothing if the battery dies. This is clearly a far more sensible and superior way of doing things, but at the expense of some speed.

I know which I'd rather have - more battery life and built-in NAND flash storage every time. :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] kevino:
'disk' i/o is going to be worse because of the persistant storage. Writing to flash is much slower than to RAM.

Can't understand why the cpu rated much worse though.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Pyrofer:
Could this be partly because the Exec does NOT have a dedicated ATI chipset for GFX, hence the CPU is always worrying about the display.

Obviously a completely similar machine with ATI graphics chip would be quicker, so i expect that makes a difference even when you think all the apps are closed.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] a18041967:
This seems to be the case, just received my exec and in comparison to my xda IIi it does seem a lot more sluggish. Even web browsing using both gprs & 3g is slower.

Is this a common issue or rom specifc?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Pyrofer:
I just ran XRick, MAN ITS SLOW!!!

I could play smooth realtime on my Himalaya (XDAII) but now? Damn, I cant play it at all. its painfull.....

Going to try Pocket Hack Master to see if that fixes it.

Damn this thing is slow.
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
Post all gaming discussion here.

Currently I have mostly runner games (Temple Run, Minion Rush, Robot Unicorn Attack 2), PBA Bowling Challenge, Real Racing 3 and Fast & Furious 6 but I usually just play the runner games. Unfortunately RR3 does not run in 1080p but at a rather low resolution; I hope EA fixes this soon. FIFA 14 works though there are some occasional issues with the loading screen in the beginning (sometimes the app crashes or the whole system hangs and I must do a reset)

What games would you recommend for the HTC Butterfly s? For me I would prefer free games.
[HTC Butterfly S] tsokh:
Here is my list what I've played on Butterfly S (all tested and fully working):

Contre Jour, Rayman Jungle Run (prefer this runner over all others), Townsmen, Anomaly Korea, Minion Rush, Iesabel, Aralon, Wild Blood, Dungeon Hunter 4, Bard's Tale, Angry Birds (although Angry Birds support FullHD, I'd rather play in HD - icons are too small).

Don't know what games are free, as I download them from 4pda site.
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
I have found a temporary fix for Real Racing 3's low resolution issue using Ultimate Rotation Control, a similar fix was found for the new Nexus 7 by another user (the only difference is that for the Butterfly s it must be set to "forced auto").

Install "Ultimate Rotation Control", and set it to "forced auto", then run the game holding your phone vertical position on the loading screen (it will hang) before rotating it. Enjoy! There doesn't seem to be any anti-aliasing, but it runs at a much higher resolution :D

It's rather tedious because Sense 5 UI does not properly support landscape mode and you may also accidentally rotate the phone back to portrait mode, but you can briefly go back to the home screen and change the Ultimate Rotation Control on your status bar to "auto" and quickly get back to your game.

Another note: Does anyone here play Blitz Brigade? It always crashes on the title screen on mine =/ On Play Store I see one reviewer who gave the game a good review so that suggests it might work on some devices...
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
I can confirm that Asphalt 8 is now officially supported on the Butterfly s, but like Real Racing 3, it does not seem to run at the full 1080p, but it doesn't look that bad (for RR3 I tried fiddling with the settings but it always looked low res, yet it still lags).

However I am having some touch input problems especially with the top side of the phone (the left side if you rotate it to horizontal position). Maybe it's because I have a screen protector that is not oleophobic and sweat registers a touch input, but I've seen other users complain of this problem too (see the PhoneDog comparison with HTC One)

GT Racing 2 runs fine and renders in 1080p.

The lack of 1080p rendering is not uncommon with newly released games on some devices also GS4 and Nexus 7 but I think HTC may need to do something about it.

Unfortunately the ultimate rotation control app only works for seven days and I can't find another app with the "force rotate" option.
[HTC Butterfly S] seyidaga:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devasque.rotationlocker&hl=en have your tried this?
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
nope, RR3 needs a Force Rotation option.
[HTC Butterfly S] FYL21:
I think the low-resolution rendering of some games has to do with the lack of support for OpenGL ES 3.0... I really hope we get an update soon... =/

It seems they're focusing on the One line and not so much on the Butterfly s but I think our chances are faster than Droid DNA/Butterfly because our device is newer, and it's an unlocked device unlike the DNA.
[HTC Butterfly S] stealthenator2:
Yeah really want that update, my guess is that it will come probably on january

Do games look better on 4.3? Does Asphalt or Real Racing 3 render in 1080p?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] easy_henry:
Hi All,

I'm really lost and after days of reading, I'm 100% sure I'm not great with these tech stuff.... I'm just messed up with meaning of terms (flash, kernel, ROM, etc...) needless to say understand what is going on...:rolleyes:

I have been using a version 1 Nexus 7 3g tablet (JWR66Y - android 4.3) for sometime now and have been trying to find out how to wifi tenther without rooting since I just don't understand rooting. But I'm going to be travelling and really wanted to use my N7 as a wifi hotspot and to store photo from camera. Anyway, I finially gave up and tried to root for the first time in my life.

I used the WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit v1.7.2 and spend hours to unlock then root. I just followed everything as standard from the toolkit. I thought by the end of this I can wifi tender, but I was wrong... :crying: I still don't have the option in setting nor does any of the tether apps from play store work....

My question on wifi tether/hotspot is - 1. What am I missing?

As for OTA, I was reading about N7 being able to store file from usb (like photos from camera). Apparently that need to root too. 2. I have now root, does that mean this will work?

I am just soooooo lost!!! I googled heaps and I see post about roms or root and all the magic things people do. I see many that is not 4.3 but mine is and I don't know if that would kill my N7. Can anyone point me to post or point me to the right direction of what I need to do??? :(

Many thanks in advance!!!!

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

I appeal to all the users that have samsung galaxy s4 mini duos (i9192) to give me a honest opinion on their experience usage about this issue

I want to buy the phone because i have 2 sims, work and home and need both always on but i've been read that this phone has major problems with network signal such as:

"Poor network performance. I'm forced to restart 4 to 5 times per day to regain the network access. I checked from my service providers, no issues on their part. Dual Sim a failure. Apart from network issues, the design, ram performance are average. I'll recommend not to buy this instrument unless the dual-sim network problem is rectified."

Like this, there are many more in samsung phone forum.

Anyone can give me their opinion?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mar10o:
False. I'm using it without problems with two sims work/private. Signal strength may be lower, but it's not so bad. Device is very fast, in antutu it has more points than 4 core htc one x+ or galaxy s3.

Software is bit buggy, but nothing serious.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricjps:
Thanks for the quick answer.

Yes, i have read many reviews and all shows very good results. But if you go to http://reviews.in.samsung.com/7463-en_in/GT-I9192ZWAINU/samsung-galaxy-s4-mini-reviews/reviews.htm you will see the very bad opinions.

Seems that the phone in bad coverage areas lost signal and don't regain signal unless you restart the phone or the network. Have you already been in bad coverage areas?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mar10o:
It will regain signal. For example yesterday - I was in underground parking lot and signal was very poor to none, but somehow I've got the incoming call when moving to other spot.

Maybe it's firmware related. I've updated manually to amh2 version through odin. Mine new csc is ser - Russia

I would like to know this also, I'm considering buying it solely because of the "Dual Sim" but I keep reading lots of people complaining about the signal issues.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fburgos:
I dont have any problems with my I9192 been in my hands for 2 months by now the network problem you describe it's very rare just couple of times since I've been using it but I've turn on and off airplane mode

for me it's a really good phone
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grajeshg:
Same problem

I also have the duos version. Once the signal is lost/falls in the dead spot region, it doesn't come back a automatically. Fed up with this.. after buying such a high end phone, restarting all the time to get network! What is the use of fast processor and all stuff if we can't make a phone call with it? And after reading the comments on the below page, it is clear that this is a known issue of the model:

gsmarena.com/samsung_i9190_galaxy_s4_mini-reviews-5375.php

Any solution for this? The handset has turned out to be useless.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rew64:
I have not had a problem like this with mine, it works perfect. I live in a bad signal area and if I go down stairs in my house the phone will lose the signal , when I go back up stairs the phone always regains the signal with no problems.

I can't fault this phone, it's ten times better than my last one, HTC Desire V
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricjps:
Thanks,

Only the fact that you mentioned you have to do airplane mode 2 times is just severe enough, because in a phone with this price range that's a problem that should NEVER occur, and you can be the lucky guy that just has good coverage signal all of the time.

I came to the conclusion that it happens with much moore models than the ones that not happen.

I'm going to order the phone even with this feedback hoping that i have a flash of luck and my phone doesn't have the problems, because i've been waiting months for a dual sim phone with top performance and this seems to be the ideal phone to me.

I will post my experience here, if anything goes wrong i will try to sell it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricjps:
Yes, i totally agree with you.

I don't know how a brand like Samsung brings to the market a phone in this price range with these problems. And worst, dont't give a solution to them. Did you try to contact Samsung or use the warranty with them?

Same Issue with Samsung GT-I9192

Hi All,

I am facing the same issue with my Samsung GT-I9192, which I purchased on 1st Sep.

I am using 2 simcards, one being Vodafone and the other Idea, India region.

Surprisingly the issue is only with Vodafone, where the signal after dropping (very frequently) does not refresh.

In case of Idea simcard, the signal refresh is working fine.

I am not able to understand if the problem is with the service provider, sim card, hardware or the software.

I used my vodafone simcard with Galaxy Core (another dual sim phones), and they seem to work fine,

which gets me all the more confused.

The only difference that I notice is in the Mobile Network Type.

Its EDGE:2 for Vodafone and UMTS:3 for Idea, wonder if this has got anything to do with the network issues.

I did the default available 2 firmware upgrades since purchase, they seem to have worsened the problems.

Let me know if you are facing the same issue, with the same service provider.

Need to keep a close watch on the solution, as it seems to be affecting more people than expected, surprisingly couldn't find any issues a month back during the time of purchase.... :(

Regards,

Varun
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricjps:
In my case, it's Vodafone also, but is in Western Europe.

My concern is that i have exactily the same problem in my present phone (Sony Tipo Dual) and it's the main reason (along side the big improve of speed and etc) for buying this phone. At the present, people call to me and they say that phone answers occupied (no network signal) and i look to the phone and it shows top signal strenght. I'm beginning to think that dual sim phones with android have some limitations (maybe antenna limitations).
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sriram.yenchrla:
I have smiliar problem. I have contacted samsung service center they assured to replace antenna but after 10 days antenna not yet came. So waiting for it. Is this problem is due to hardware or software i am not sure.

---------- Post added at 09:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------

In my case S4 mini network refresh is not working for secondary sim (aircel India) and working fine for primary sim Tata docomo. I buyed this mobile as it has 1.5 gb RAM with dual sim instead of Nexus 4.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fburgos:
thats true it should never occur, i think its implementation problem, android its not mean to be for dual sim phones the solution for dual sim on android its a samsung workarround, it should not be buggy but has some problems it does not make the phone unusable for me, I don't get coverage all the time, I travel from city to city and get poor coverage all the way so i think its not a big issue since it happen just a few times.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] varun_b:
Hi Sriram,

My problem is very similar, Vodafone on either sim slots gives network problems, and Idea on either sim slots works fine. That makes me think that the problem must be hardware / software related to Network type. Its EDGE2 for vodafone and GPRS1 for Idea. What is the network type of your sim cards?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grajeshg:
Phone defect.. Not related to Sim card

Started with an email to CEO, Samsung India. I shall update as I get the reply.

..

..

I use idea in the first slot and BSNL in the second slot. The trouble occurs with BOTH SIM. Earlier I used idea -Vodafone pair, the problem was still there. I live in am area where all operators have weak/varying coverage. Airtel and aircel have already been reported as showing same problem. All the users are affected with this issue, so it is clear that this has nothing to do with the operator, it is a fault of the phone either hardware or software. I think you have idea Sim working fine only means idea network is better in your area and may not need frequent network cell changeover. (?) And another fact we can see from the reports is, that, almost ALL THE COMPLAINTS have been reported from INDIA where the model released is the duos.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hbalisavira:
S4 Mini Network issues.

I too have a S4 Mini for less than a month and I am also facing network issues. One thing to notice is that the sim with internet doesn't have issues. Irrespective of which slot it is in. Currently I have Vodafone IN on Sim 1 and Airtel on 2 (with 3G). Airtel works fine and Voda has issues.

I did speak to Samsung care, they were very nice, however the problem wasn't solved, I have been adviced to go to Samsung service center and get the S/w reimaged.

I still haven't done that, however what I did was to reset the phone and while I was browsing on the play store I got a software called "Where is my Signal" by Grey Boy. For some reason I feel it is working fine now. I have not had any issue from last evening, baring one time when I was on a long conf call for around 150 mins today. else it has been working fine and receiving calls on both sims too.

I had used this software to refresh the network once, it has helped me, not sure if this is going to sustain but for now it is good.

If some one else also has this software installed and is finding this to solve the issues kindly post the same on the forum and may be helpful.

Will repost tomorrow again with the status.

BTW I agree to many opinions in this thread that Samsung should have done some testing or atleast after many of these issues coming up needed to provide a patch upgrade.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grajeshg:
Will factory reset work?

I had tried three apps of that kind: where is my signal, network booster(marcstealth), and network refresher lite. None of them could overcome the strange problem of this phone though at first they seemed to be working. Another question is, how do we know when to refresh network? If we know the signal is lost, we can restart or do something like that. Then there is one more issue: sometimes it shows good/full signal strength, but when try to make a call, will realize that it was false! I made to run the network booster app run when signal is low, using tasker app -but we are not supposed to live such a life using this celebrated costly handset.

But one thing in your post is of much importance. DID THAT RESET WORK? You haven't said much about that.

Regards,

Rajesh
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hbalisavira:
The reason for reset was to ensure that none of the softwares I had installed were causing the issue. The reset didn't change much compared to the way it was earlier.

Some observations of when the problem actually happens (again this is my observation and doesn't need to be the same in your case)

> When I am on a long incoming call on the sim which has Internet.

> Noticed that short calls don't impact the network.

> If there is a call drop imm after you receive a call.

I am planning to get the phone firmware re-imaged from the service center however I will need atleast 10 more days to do it as I am currently in a different city and I am not carrying the invoice copy.

BTW Rajesh, did u get any response from the CEOs office?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sudhirkaranam:
Do not waste your time going to service center.

I had taken my phone to the service center. Initially they acted smart by restarting it and telling everything works fine even though I had specifically told them to not to restart it. When I argued they re-installed the software. It was of no use.

I thought this must be one off case and complained to Flipkart (From where I had purchased) and they promptly replaced the handset with a new one. Even this handset has the same issue.

When I wrote to Samsung customer care they gave me various suggestions like - select the network manually , factory reset, change the SIM card and check , take to Samsung customer care - as if I did not do all these things.

I am planning to approach consumer court. As a last resort before going to consumer court I am taking service of akosha (.com)

Will update you if I have any success with Akosha.
