Also, does anyone know if there is a problem getting Assurion to cover a Dev Edition phone under their insurance?
[Droid Ultra Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doogald:
I'm not sure. I'd try calling them.

The dev phone has no warranty once you get an unlock code for the bootloader; for that reason, and because you buy from Motorola rather than Verizon, it may be that Asurion will not offer coverage. You could try SquareTrade though.

Everyone probably knows what I am talking about. Any person who calls there phone hears themselves after a second delay. People have stopped answering my wifes phone because of this. Both FreeXperia & Cyanogenmod have the problem.

I really would rather not revert her back to The Sony Experience. Is there a nice Nexuslike ROM without this problem?
[Sony Xperia T, TL, TX, V] KelleyCook:
Hey! It appears that Tilal6991 may have figured it out!

Replying to my own post here (idiotic XDA 10 post regardless of experience rule). According to his latest post and the changelog Tilal6991 thinks he has permenantly fixed it with his just released (2013-09-26) CM10.2 based ROM available from the Xperia T Android Development page. I'll check it out tonight and report on it.

That's why the 10 post rule is important, if Tilal6991 posted it in his thread, there is no need to repost the same information.

I work in a really dirty environment so I have to have a good case to protect my phone. I have a Ballistic Aspira on my S4 right now. The case is great but diets sticks to the rubber something fierce. I had both an otterbox commuter and a trident aegis for my S3 and they held up well. The otterbox seems to hold dirt while the trident didn't. Anyone out there have either a commuter or an aegis? If so how does it hold up to dirt and grime. Also if anyone has a defender, how does the outside silicone hold up? Thanks!

I really think its the best for you , as it's waterproof as well ( always good to be water protected in work place ) ..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Mr. bird:
I had the commuter on mine for a few months and I work at a body shop (dirt everywhere) and the commuter would get a little dirty on the rubber but would clean pretty easily. But it let a decent amount of dirt in the case (not as bad as other cases I have had) but I know from experience that dirt will wear the crap out of the finish of the phone. I now have the obex and it stays clean for the most part but the holes for the sensors, spekers, camera and IR hole build up with dirt. A little water and a q-tip and its clean again. And no dirt gets inside the case..
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] hexitnow:
Pretty much every case with silicone is going to have dirt stick to it. I have both the aegis and the commuter and theyre both nice cases. Dirt seems to stick less to the commuter tho.

Hi, I purchased the SPIGEN Slim Armor case for my s4 and it is a beast! I don't mean in size but the durability on this thing is just solid for a cheap case. It does not protect your screen like an otter box does, but everything all around... If you face the phone down it has a couple of cm so the screen is not touching the surface of your table or w.e. I have a zigs screen protector for my front and my phone is in prestige condition. They are like 25 bucks on their site but I used amazon and got them for 13.99.

Hi...even i use slim armor for my SG S4.. my only concern is about the dirt which accumulates on the back panel which results in scratches when using a back cover. .by any chance do you know how to overcome this??

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBDub:
I am trying to use this on straight talk, as I received this as a warranty replacement at a vzw store and have both a vzw line and a straight talk line. I was hoping to bypass the activation since my vzw sim card doesn't work in this phone, and they vzw customer service has been giving me a hell of a time trying to activate this phone.

I saw on a different site that one could hold the volume keys and press the back button, but that has not worked. I would like to test to see if this phone does better on straight talk than my other phone, since it has the HSPA+ bands for AT$T.

Thanks!
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoLeftHere:
Turn the device on, on the first screen, in sequence:

Volume Up

Volume Down

"Back"

"Home"

and it will skip the activation screen.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hd-renegade:
Am I reading this right, you can use a phone from VZW on Walmarts Straight talk plans????
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicotheandroidguy:
Yes because of the LTE VZW uses LTE on the C block which means they have to leave the phone unlocked on GSM/HSPA+ but you won't get ATT LTE it is on another seperate band.

I have attempted to find it on google but all I find is touch screen stuff nothing about what I am looking for I was trying to understand how it can detect your finger without touching the screen. :P
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Since there isn't an official thread for Q&A for CM 10.2 I figured there should be one, so I'm making one. Here we can list out bugs, issues, ask questions, etc. without cluttering or thread hijacking with other Android 4.3 projects (like what was happening to the CM10.1 and beanstalk threads).

I am testing the first official nightly and have discovered the following bugs/issues:

1. After setting up my phone and installing all my apps/etc, it will only boot about half the time. (major bug) I am having to hold power and vol - and pray it will boot THIS time lol ;) I don't have anything exotic on my phone just apps downloaded from the play store. This may have something to do with the CM10.2 theme I am using. **Is more stable using 9-27 nightly and 6.0.3.8 CWM**

2. Screen will often not wake when power button is pressed when the phone is already on. (known issue)

3. Speakerphone mutes mic, you can hear them but they can't hear you (known issue)

4. For me the initial CM setup froze and hot booted (minor issue) ***Should be fixed as of 9-27 nightly, need to confirm still***

5. Compass, etc isn't working properly (known issue).

6. Dark theme for mms.apk (I don't think this has ever worked right...)

7. Selecting 'details' on an image in gallery crashes gallery. **Fixed as of 9-27 nightly**

8. Intermittent issues with the camera. Sometimes it will not start up.

What works:

Camera/Video (and you can finally select the sd card to store these files using the default camera) **having intermittent issues with the camera using the latest nightly**

Data/Phone (using any ICS blaze radio or the UVMC6 sgs2 radio)

Pretty much everything else works flawlessly...

If anyone else has anything to report, or as these issues are resolved, I will edit this post to keep anyone wondering what works/doesn't work with the official 10.2 nightlies where we are.

Also feel free to ask/answer questions related to CM 10.2 here :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 13~BigBear~13:
What do you mean by CM start up screen?

---------- Post added at 04:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:56 AM ----------

And also what do you mean about number 1?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
The initial setup screen froze after I pressed next and hot booted, but worked flawlessly after that.

I changed my theme and rebooted and it would not boot past the Samsung screen. Power and vol- and it rebooted and actually booted. Seems like anything from the system folder being changed will cause some serious issues from what I'm seeing... Even if its just changing the theme. IDK if that's just something with 4.3 but I could modify a ton in the system folder in cm10 and it would boot just fine.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] 13~BigBear~13:
So themes are a no go?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
They work, but it may take a few tries to get it to boot (it did for me anyway) if you shut the phone off or reboot for whatever reason.

Which recovery and which gapps are you using? I'm using the 2013-08-13 gapps from here.

Did you wipe everything (data, system, cache, davlik) before flashing from whatever rom you are coming from?

Other thing you can try is wipe data from the play store and remove your google account and try again.

Let me know how it goes!

Is there a way to access the developer options without using an app? Don't see it in the settings. Latest nightly working great so far!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
I believe this started with 4.2.2 but you have to go to settings>about phone and then tap the build number 7 times. After three or four times a message will appear telling how many more times you need to press it. Then developer settings will be unlocked.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] flyers00:
That is correct. I forgot about it until I flashed it on the blaze. Had to double check my wife's s2
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] crossking:

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] FourM:
I noticed my light sensor acts a little reversed.

In well lit areas or outside during the day, I can barely see my screen because the brightness is too low.

At night time, the screen is the brightest it can be.

I've disabled auto and enabled it back but no change.

I haven't done a clean wipe when I noticed it but then I decided to do a clean wipe and it still happens.

Anyone else notice this?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Cirkustanz:
So far the only issue I've seen is the camera wigs out. So do other camera apps I install from the market. When I'm in the camera app the screen freaks out almost kinda like how the tv would flip out back in the day when you were flipping the slide switch from the RF adapter to put your tv in game or antenna mode when playing an atari or something.

It also says, "you must insert an SD card" but I have one in, and it works. So I dunno.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
I haven't had the SD card message but I have had intermittent issues with the camera not starting up. I'm going to add it to the issues list on the 1st post and get a log in the dev section later tonight.

It seems that once the camera won't start up you have to force close the gallery or use the lock screen functionality to start the camera to get it to come back up again.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Cirkustanz:
Well, I think my SD card issue is actually related...to my SD card.

It works, but man the write speed on the thing is SLOOOOOOOW. Even if I take it out and put it directly into my computer, it takes forever to write to it now. No idea why, but I guess I'm having bad luck with these things. I always bought cheap SD cards before, but ever since I bought this 64gig card (back when they were like $150) I've had nothing but trouble...Sandisk has replaced it twice now!

Flashed back to a cm10 backup and got cmupdates alerts for cm10.2. Has anybody tried to use the updater to go from 10 to 10.2? Just interested if the updater is good enough to handle it. Lol
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
I don't know. Going from 10 to 10.2 you should do a full wipe and make sure you're on a 4.3 recovery. All the updater does is run a script to flash the ROM via recovery. I don't think there's anything in the recovery script to wipe everything (or recognize that a full wipe is needed) so you are likely better off not updating that way in this situation. It may work out initially but you could have random issues down the road.

For updating nightly builds it works fine though.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] shaikmonster:
I did it... Bad idea. Tons of little issues.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] tommyboy8125:
I have successfully backed up my cm 10 and restored data to my cm 10.2 many times with no problems. It did not work restoring to du though.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Cirkustanz:
Personally I didn't data wipe going from 10 to 10.2 because I forgot. I only resetted cache and the partition thing from the main menu.

I had no problems. It certainly makes sense that it's something you should do, but if you don't, it might not be the end of the world.

Also...it really seems to me like the screen sleep issue has been fixed. I have not seen this happen in several days now.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Cirkustanz:
I have a silly question regarding precisely how to be able to modify the ringer/notification sound volume.

There are like, 1,000 different ways of muting the volume in this phone for CM, but so far....none of them seem to work for me!

I can press the volume button down until the vibrate or silent icon appears....but when I get called or someone texts me...the notification goes off!

I can toggle the sound option in the tiles dropdown to off or vibrate...but the notification still goes off!

I can hold down the power button and press the icon on the left for mute....but the notification still goes off!

I can change the ringer/notification in the system settings to a sound file that is just silence...but the message application (I use the default one) still fires it's own sound effect! Plus, that is just a stupid way of having to do it, but seriously, I had to try that..but it didn't work because the messaging app overrides it...which is stupid, they should be tied together, or one of them shouldn't exist!

I have the profiles option turned off, because this just makes it even MORE complicated. I mean, seriously, I tried using this a while back since I noticed the alarms could toggle profiles...but that was such a hack job way of doing it.

What is happening is the volume options for muting the phone effect the RINGER of the phone, and not notifications...even though the option of "link ringer and notification volume" is selected. But even if I press the volume button and then the little settings button which brings up the ringer/notification/alarm volume selections...and drag the notification volume all the way to the left...the notification still goes off. If I change the volume panel style in the sound menu to "single" where there is only one volume bar...and move it all the way to the left, the notification still goes off...it's quiet though. But it should be MUTE!

Any advice would be appreciated...I was at a movie the other night and I kept getting messaged and I kept turning off the ringer in several sections of the phone but even though I would do it, the sounds kept coming...pissed me off I had to just turn off the phone.

Ugh...this only seems to work correctly if you have the "link ringtone and notifications volumes" UNCHECKED. The problem is, what if you WANT them to be linked? It's so stupid!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
I'm not on CM so I really can't help you with this particular problem within the ROM, but in the portal I read about this new app that adjusts all sound using root access. Maybe the app would be able to help you. You can get the pro version for a limited time, here's a link:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2482155

Like I said, not sure if it'll help, but it's free and worth a try...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Cirkustanz:
I messed around with all the various settings and tested them out...took about 20 minutes, but apparently the secret to being able to use any of the ways to mute the phone requires the selection in settings/volumes that is called "link ringtone and notification volumes" to be UNCHECKED.

If checked, if you mute the phone in any way, it will only mute the ringer, and not the notifications. But if you have this unchecked, and select "silent mode affects notifications" at least you can mute the ringer AND notifications.

You just can't independently lower the volume of notifications along with ringtones. Le Sigh

So i have been looking for custom roms on many different websites, but there isn't one that i would say "this is the one" rom.

I have been think for what kind of rom i want for my GT-I9500, and here are some ideas that i came up with.

1) I have the google nexus 4 as well and the screen color on it looks amazing. Every time i switch on the phone, it just makes me want to look at the phone long. So maybe a rom that can make the screen color on the s4 better looking. (i don't know how to describe it)

2) I kinda like some of the samsung features like the multi window, quick glance, air browse, air move, air call accept, the palm motions, s beam.

3) On my nexus 4 i flashed the PAC-man rom, and i like it too.

4) I saw that some people can finish entering their pin and unlock the screen like the iphone without clicking ok/enter.

So maybe some developers can combine all these features and make a new rom, so for the people who doesn't want to get ride of all the samsung features and have many good features from the other roms.

If there is some kind of rom is like that already, can someone tell me the link? Thank you ~:D

Have you tried reformatting the sdcard? Format it to fat32 and see how it works after that. If you have a spare sdcard, see if you can reproduce the issue on there. If it does not happen on this second card then the original is faulty or at least well on its way.
