[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Cdub5:
So one night, after a few too many, I stupidly downloaded a version of Madden off the internet. After minimal research, my intoxicated brain figured, what the hell. After later reading this game was most likely malware,I deleted it and anything I could find in storage that seemed related. Not sure if this is the culprit, but ever since around then I get these yellow pop ups in my Yahoo mail app. See attached photo. I don't get them in my Yahoo mail on my pc. If I click on it, (had to try it once) it takes me to a "web page not available" screen. I've since done a complete factory reset, manually gone into cwm recovery and formatted everything, including the SD. Flashed a new Rom, Goldeneye, and once booted, first installed Yahoo mail app, fresh from market, and only Yahoo mail app and bam, Yellow malware looking email pops up first thing. I even changed Yahoo password on my pc, installed trend security, and at one time Norton. Neither showed any issues. Only have issues with Yahoo mobile, no other apps. Haven't seen any abnormal data, or messaging usage, and no one has informed me of receiving suspicious email from me yet. What is it, and how the hell do I get rid of it?

It's probably ads in the app, I've noticed an increase in ads lately in free apps. I assume you could always try adaway or something.

Not sure if it's ads considering my wife runs the same app and she never has this

^ clearly States Yahoo free mail and mobile versions run with sponsored ads. Ask.com is a sponsored ad of Yahoo. Yahoo mail plus is the only way you'll get rid of sponsored ads.

To make sure u don't have malware, Get "AVL" on the play store and scan your phone.

I recently purchased a second hand GS4 and noticed that in every picture there are black spots that are noticeable a lot of the time and they appear in exactly the same spot. The rear camera does have some scratches on the metal frame but I don't see any scratches on the lens with the naked eye. Should I buy an entirely new camera module or just replace the lens? I'll attach a picture below. Its easier to notice when zoomed in.

This is a better picture:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CyberManiaK:
I think those spots are a sensor problem. If you can, try shooting a picture pointing to the sky. And upload it in JPG format please, without editing. I want to see the full exifs.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] FourPointedFreak:
This doesn't appear to be a sensor problem to me - looks like hardware damage somewhere to the lens/camera.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CyberManiaK:
Well yeah, I was thinking in dslr matter lol, I'm more familiar with those hehehe.. but certainly this could be a hardware damage on jpeg processor engine. Now refreshing memories I have a friend which on his EVO there was something like this but it was on the middle and bigger, and could appear on a few situation not on all shots, so we point it to hardware failure, because this looks more like post processed added.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Zacisblack:
I can see the spots before taking the picture.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CyberManiaK:
Well this is kinda weird, because this is not dust behind the lens or on top, this are not scratches,and I guess this are also when you record video. right ? I believe the camera module will need to be replaced. But lets wait if somebody can jump here..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Zacisblack:
I can see tiny nicks on the glass lens like microscopic chips so I'm wondering if that's where this is coming from. I find it really hard to believe its the sensor but I think this weekend I'm going to remove the glass lens cover and see if it still shows up. If so then I'll try cleaning the actual lens and finally replace the entire thing if need be.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CyberManiaK:
But how are you going to remove the lens cover only.. It's a one piece. At least this is how it looks http://www.ebay.com/itm/OEM-Samsung...e_Replacement_Parts_Tools&hash=item35c8114d11

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
It is probably dust that got trapped on the mirror inside the camera. Replacement of the camera is the only way to fix it. I had the same issue on my old E4GT.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] House M.D.:
That happened to my at&t s4 last month, and that happened when I dropped my phone over the floor, and it was only 2 feet high only. So i went to at&t service store, and they said they can't fix it, and they will have to send it to Samsung, but they replaced the phone for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Zacisblack:
I actually decided to call up the AT&T Device Service Center near me and they told me to bring it in. They replaced it within 10 minutes and I was actually very shocked. One thing I do notice is that the new phone takes much sharper pictures and the lens has a purple-ish reflection in the light. The older one had a green-ish tint to it. Something was off about it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CyberManiaK:
Well that's great !! Even if you are the second owner they didn't ask for a proof of purchase or something like that ?

I don't remember where I read that the s3 used two different sensors one made by Sony and one made by Samsung and the Sony was better, probably this is the case again with the s4.

Anyway congrats one the replacement.. :good:
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
hey everyone... this is the first of a few posts i'm gonna make today. I haven't been on here in a little while and i got a bunch on my mind :)

anyway i have the opportunity to upgrade early on t-mobile, and i'm very seriously considering the note 3... my question is, how do you all feel about the s3 vs the note 3. would it be a HUGE update for me? obviously you can find plenty of s3 vs s4 comparisons on the net... s3 vs note 2 comparisons... and note 2 verse note 3 comparisons... but s3 vs note 3 is a totally different animal.

i'm looking for non-rooted STOCK performance. that's my #1 concern. if i wiped my s3 right now, sure it will run great for the first month or so, but it will slow down again once things have settled in, and i'm kind of ready for a more powerful device... but i'm wondering if i should just suck it up and wait until the inevitable s5 or some other phone that comes in 2014 (maybe even, although i doubt it, late 2013)... or just go ahead and get my upgrade going? i really dont want to root, as i've always found it's the same issues of "oh yea this is so amazingly fast!" and then 2 months later i've got problems and slowdown... rooting and installing roms is great for some people that like tinkering but just not for me.

again i'm not really looking to be able to play newer fancier games... although i'm sure i'll install and play plenty of games too... but i want performance... i don't ever want to be stuck in a situation where i just tapped the camera icon and i'm waiting 10 seconds for the camera to open... or even worse, get the "could not start the camera" notification and i have to reboot my phone. or when i click spotify and it takes 15 seconds to open. or i tap chrome and everything just freezes while it apparently tries to remember what website it last had open. you get the idea. i want stuff to load quick and fast and smooth and seamless.

what are your thoughts?

thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
When the time comes for me to get a new phone, I'm buying it from the play store. Tired of TouchWiz, tired of no carrier updates, tired of the phones being locked down, tired of everything except Android itself.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
well to be honest the s3 has been updated way more than any other phone i've owned. and yea i'd love the next nexus, but what are the chances of a 32gb (or better yet 64gb) nexus? probably next to nothing. or one with sd support (also doubtful). so touchwiz it is cause 16gb is not gonna cut it this decade.

edit: oh and btw my mom has the nexus 4 with barely anything installed, the most recent update causes random reboots. awesome. yay for updates... haha. again i just want something that's gonna work really really good for a long time.

I have a gs3 and the carrier is US Cellular... now is there any way I can unlock it or root it to make it a AT&T carrier!?!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] GuestK00261:
There was an easy and high success free unlock tutorial in the ATT S3 General section and for it to work on US Cellular, I recommend checking gsmarena.com and conparing the AT&T model (SGH-I747) to the US Cellular version side by side. Hope this helps!
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] DMF1977:
Isn't US Cellular CDMA network?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Corvetrims77:
Just call your provider and tell them you are traveling to Europe, and want to use your phone there. They will ( should) provide the information to unlock your phone within a day or two.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
So just recently, when I go to Spotify, sometims it says:

No SD Card Found

We found no place to store our data, please check that you have a working SD card and free space.

So first of all I do have an SD Card... 64gb. Second of all, a reboot always fixes this. Third of all, I thought Spotify doesn't save music to the SD card anyway without installing an old version before they got rid of the ability to store music on the sd card (something that's annoyed me about the app for a while but it is what it is and I'd rather keep my apps up to date than toy around with old versions of apps).

So, any thoughts?

I really would hate to think that the SD card is the problem for 2 reasons... 1) a 64gb sd card isn't exactly cheap. and 2) I've had roughly the same problem or a similar problem with EVERY SINGLE SD CARD IVE EVER HAD IN AN ANDROID PHONE. I don't drop my phone. i don't do weird stuff with it. I just put the card in the day i get the phone and leave it there and every single time for the last 4 years of being an Android user, I've had various sd card issues after some amount of time... Never this particular issue... But some kind of problem associated with the sd card. Used to be that installing apps to sd caused problems (i don't do that anymore). then it was data on the sd card not being accessible. Then it was some other stuff. Now it's this.

So anyway... any thoughts?

thanks!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Are you running a custom Rom? With the 64GB cards, the S3 can be a bit finicky. It's usually a formatting issue, especially if it's on a non touchwiz Rom. But most likely it's formatted as exFat. Try reformatting to fat32 and see if that helps.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] polarbearmc:
no, i'm not rooted... but thank you i'll look into that to see if it's formatted exFat.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Well.....If your running stock, it should read the exFat format just fine. Still can have odd behaviour though so I'd still try fat32. Just saying that exFat should work for you. Could be an app issue with it I guess. Let us know either way if that helps though.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] kashppo:
So, we all know that at the moment one of the main things that kills the battery life is the screen.

I don't know how you feel about it but I think the Z1 is really bright, even when at minimum. If we could lower the brightness beyond the normal controls wouldn't that help with the battery life?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] chitose_ndy:
Try lux_autobrightnes,

That app can lower the brightness lower than the system ..

[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] kashppo:
Thanks for that! Sounds like a good app. I will try it and see the effect on the battery life, hopefully it will help.

Seconding the Lux Lite vote: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vitocassisi.luxlite

With it set to Dynamic and Day, in profile editor change:

Lux - 0 = -55

Luma - 1 = -55

and leave all other variables the same.

That seems to give me a good range of brightness for my eyes - readable in bed with no lights on in the room without waking my partner and full brightness in head on daylight.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] erdokovyz:
Hi, I'm looking for a way to decrease the backlight brightness.

Right now even a full black screen lights up my bedroom and I

have the related slider at the minimum with the adaptive setting

turned on. I've tried a few apps but none of them changed the

illumination of blacks.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Uvaavu:
Ummm try the app I posted a link to that does exactly what you asked?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] erdokovyz:
I've tried that along with a few others. It couldn't dim the backlight beyond what is possible

with the stock brightness slider. After a while it just changes the white point, the blacks

keep glowing the same.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] Uvaavu:
It's physically impossible to reduce the brightness at a Lux of zero beyond what the panel/kernel allow. However you CAN apply a dark filter over the entire screen to simulate the effect of reducing the brightness. This appears to be what Lux Lite and Velis Autobrightness both do.

It works fine for me and when viewing the screen in the dark there is very little light emitted using the settings I stated above. However if you don't make the changes I stated above you won't see the darkening effect.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] erdokovyz:
That's a shame. :\ When my phone is docked it shows a full screen

clock: black background, dark gray digits so any screen filter would

just decrease contrast. I guess I'll need to fix a dark plastic sheet to

the dock to physically cut down the brightness.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] erdokovyz:
I ended up putting a microfiber screen cleaning cloth over the device. It's wrinkle resistant

and big enough so it covers both the front and the back without slipping off. It doesn't look

like it but when near the screen it let's through a surprising amount of light making the

fullscreen clock easily readable. Compatible with all Android versions and doesn't require

rooting.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] XxAnointedxX:
May I ask, it is possible to dim the three buttons below with Lux?
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] danchaoren:
HEY...l have a problem like you ~ l want to turn my brightness lower but l cant download the app you said . (when l open the page you gave , google play said you cant download this app in this region, l'm Chinese, l'm in china now ) so can you do me a favour that upload two apps ( lux_autobrightnes and Lux Lite) to another page(Links) so l can download? thank you very much ~ such as network disk~ or another something~:laugh:
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] MohammadAG:
The kernel allows 4095 brightness steps, I'm not sure what the stock slider does, but I'm pretty sure the lower values aren't even touched.

I started developing a Lux plugin, but ran into a bug with lux itself, I'll try to contact the dev for help.
[Xperia Z1 Themes and Apps] dazza7111:

Guys i have an arc S and just have a small suggestion (not sure it will work on ur device but i dont think there is any harm in doing it)

If u have root

I have created a script to lower my brightness below the actual amount, i didnt use any app from playstore as it actually just placed a black overlay on the screen and the brightness was actually still the same

Well go to my Contributions in my signature and under scripts look at the brightness Adjuster script

Try it

Do not set too low value

I also do not know the default value on ur device so sorry

I took parts from the Tab 2 wifi and followed http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Doc:_porting_intro

I think it has something to do with when I pulled the blobs from my device............... "generate-blob-lists.sh" I had to edit that and I'm thinking that it didn't get everything that it should have needed.
