[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beenz88:
Samsung S4 screen gap

I have this same problem too. There was a gap between the screen and the bezel on my S4, near the headphone jack. I sent it into Samsung and they told me that someone had performed an unauthorized replacement of the screen and that it voided the warranty. They said that according to the IMEI given, the phone was a black S4 belonging to telus - not the Fido white s4 that I thought I had. And they also said that the USB connector was defective (which I find hard to believe since I've been using it with Samsung chargers for 6 months now). I had no idea because it was bought used and there is no way of checking for it either (you can only check whether the phone is blacklisted or not). So not only did Samsung void my warranty but when I received the phone back, the gap was noticeably worse! It was just a minor cosmetic flaw before and now its a fullblown gap all along the top and i can bend the screen at the top. Samsung made it worse! I feel like I've been ripped off twice now; this time by Samsung. Never buying another Samsung device again.

Anyway, did anyone find a solution to this problem without turning it in for warranty? How much would it cost to fix this gap?

I recently got a sprint HTC one. I was in love except for the fact that I have T-Mobile. So I rooted it and unlocked it. I have to keep connecting data but for a $50 phone, hey I don't mind. I love stock but I also love to play with my phone. A flashaholic. So I want to ask whoever is like me. What rom and mods are you running on your unlocked HTC one?
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] sshede:
Go to the T-Mobile One forum.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdcokefiend:
He said he's using a Sprint HTC One, he just sim unlocked it for T-mobile, so technically,

using a T-Mobile rom would mess up his phone. Or at least, that's what it seemed like to me. :confused:
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] purple1:
Yes this is an unlocked SPRINT HTC one.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tdcokefiend:
You might want to try and edit your title then. lol

But to answer your question, I use Stock With Goodies 4.3;

Flex just added a way to completely disable blinkfeed and I am in love.

I don't think I'll be changing roms any time soon.

I was previously running, Illusion rom and PACMAN, but I love stock too much.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] E_Goldstein:
Ok first of all i just read things saying it doesn't work with the i9305 properly so question 1 is

Does everything work eith the n7105 ie, hdmi usb at the same time

Can i plug it into my tv and use my 360 wired pad, so using hdmi and otg at the same time?

Also can you plug in keyboard mouse and 360 pad at the same time while using hdmi?

Sorry i couldn't find the smart dock thread so answer from people with the dock would be much appreciated and thank you in advance
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mjrshark:
keyboard + regular mouse + usb flash memory or what ever that dont need lot of power + hdmi

all in same time working without problem

not sure about 360 pad

ps : regular mouse is ok since it wont need lot of power , but other like my gaming mouse " razer naga " wont work

I've noticed this on other Samsung Galaxy devices, like my old s3, s2, maybe even vibrant, but whenever I plug in the charger it makes a noise to let you know it's connected. On the Note 3 it just vibrates. Is there a way to turn on the sound?

Also, I've noticed how boxy the speaker sounds... coming from the HTC one lol.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RadioApoc:
Hi everyone!

So basically here's the problem: my SD card is messed up and there isn't an OS installed (I've been really dumb, I formatted the system via Clockworkmod..) I want to bring everything back to stock, but whatever I try, the phone won't get recognized in FastBoot mode.. Not in Windows, Mac nor Linux.. :(

I've searched through an infinite amount of other threads, but those haven't been helpful.

I realize this is a vague description, but I don't know how else to put it.

I hope someone will be able to help me!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mmmmmmmma:
Can you boot to recovery? Can adb a ROM from there.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RadioApoc:
Yes I can boot into Clockworkmod but neither fastboot or ADB recognizes my galaxy nexus..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
then your drivers are not installed correctly.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] David:D:
In linux, you have to add a 51-android.rules file to /etc/udev/rules.d with the following content:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0660", GROUP="users"

After that, you have to restart udev or reboot. Then your phone should be recognized in fastboot and adb sideload.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RadioApoc:
i followed the tutorial here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2070723

next problem is the 'no permissions' which i'm trying to fix.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] David:D:
If you have a look at the 51-android.rules from the tutorial, you find this line:

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTR{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666", GROUP="plugdev"

There, group is set to plugdev which you are not necessarily in. Change this group to users or whatever group your user is in or add your user to the group plugdev.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RadioApoc:
When i try to add my user to plugdev, it says i'm already in the group.. is Ubuntu the best OS to do this thing in or should i try it on mac?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RadioApoc:
It's all getting too difficult.. The more I try and fail, the less motivation I get haha! You may leave it :) thanks for the help!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RadioApoc:
I gave it another shot on Mac, where I don't need drivers. Nor "fastboot-mac devices" or "./adb-mac devices" give any result.. The latter says: "List of devices attached" and then an empty rule..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
I'm not sure if it comes available on Mac but if it does I'll let you know what I do when sometimes I erase my OS without having some sort of back up.

Grab the Galaxy Nexus Auto install .exe. Go through the setup find your device then download the drivers from within the program. Then hopefully it recognizes the device allowing you to push the downloaded rom from Xda to your device. If this wasn't what you need sorry to have bothered :o
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RadioApoc:
Thanks for your response! I'm not sure what you mean by 'Galaxy Nexus Auto install.exe'?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qmanoulton:
Damn, that sucks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RadioApoc:
That's right!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
Sorry for replying a bit late the exact words I was looking for was Galaxy Nexus Toolkit.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1400871

So you know this will help install the gn drivers on your computer so its recognizable. Thus allowing you to use adb or if needed completely redo the entire nexus by getting rid of root and install the JB OS brand new. Then redo the process for root. Plenty of ways to get back an OS.

Hopefully this works.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RadioApoc:
Thanks for the help but it didn't work out :( I think it is because I can't turn on USB debugging as there isn't an OS installed.. Whatever i do, my nexus won't be recognized by the pc..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Wdustin1:
Are you in bootloader when trying to do the fastboot commands? If your phone can boot into bootloader and recovery then the problem has nothing at all to do with your phone. USB debugging has no effect at all in bootloader or recovery modes, so its not that! It is somewhere with the communication to your computer. Have you tried a windows machine yet. Honestly I have had best luck with windows.

Edit: just read that you tried windows...derp. Anyways keep at it your phone needs you!

---------- Post added at 01:51 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 AM ----------

Hmmm for some reason I can edit again.

..anyways, just to verify you need to be in bootloader mode the one with the android guy laying down to be able to use any fastboot commands. Everybody is kinda assuming you are but I just want to verify
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] withbloodskies:
I don't think you have the drivers installed. Once you plug in to the computer does the Galaxy Nexus appear as a storage device under "Computer"? If not then the drivers have not been installed and you have to do it with the Tool kit. If you need help I'll make a video for you?

Edit: Just like Dustin said USB debug doesn't matter if you can make it to the boot loader and custom recovery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RadioApoc:
I can go into both bootloader and recovery! When I attach my nexus, i get a 'USB device not recognized' error, though i'm sure the drivers are installed.

I thought so of usb debugging because i tried the pdanet drivers and that driver installation couldn't complete without usb debugging being enabled.. I think to reinstall windows this weekend to get a fully clean start, and then i can only hope!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Zepius:
your drivers are not installed properly.

you need to remove any drivers you have now and install the universal naked drivers.

you need to get to the point where you can use fastboot devices and it will display a number.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RadioApoc:
I removed every driver and installed the ones from the toolkit. Then i rebooted and an "installing driver software" or something showed up and then an "SM Bus Controller - No driver found"
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
You followed that and you still dont see anything under your windows device manager? How about the regular Samsung drivers off the Samsung website?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RadioApoc:
My nexus is listed as an unknown device in device manager. With the samsung drivers, i get a SM Bus Controller failed, the same with the toolkit drivers and the pdanet drivers won't install because i can't turn on usb debugging.. I try to reinstall windows 7 tomorrow.. maybe there's something wrong in my installation?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] jsgraphicart:
Or maybe its Windows 7? I wouldnt know since I still use an XP computer. lol

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] shazmn:
have this been resolved? if not u might wanna read my post on other forum...this is based on reply ive got from your thread here...huhu luckily mine managed to be saved.

ok today ive done some stupid sh|t...

1. luckily backup all images and important files.

2. boot TWRP and format everything n i mean EVERYTHING

3. the phone wont boot...connect usb it is not recognized...i'm so doomed

so being panic i almost gave up hope until i finally find these steps...its quite a mess n if someone knows proper ways tto do it please correct me ya...

1a. Install the driver for ur GNex using this Universal Naked Driver 0.72 < here >

1b. basically just download > extract the file > boot ur phone into bootloader > connect usb > windows driver manager > manual install driver

1c. once ur gnex is recognized by ur pc then ure good to go to next step

2a. Install Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit < here >

2b. there's an option under Back to Stock > Flash Stock + Unroot...under the Current Status i choose Soft-Bricked/Bootloop

2c. Another popup windows should come out and here you can choose to flash a downloaded Google Stock Images. There's also a link to it but to make it easier i attach the link < here . Be sure of your version and once you have downloaded the image file, you can select it at the Window Browser.

2d. Please let it run until completed and ure good to go...now your phone can finally boot up with stock rom...feel free to abuse it more lol

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] ninjagladden:
I am currently in Afghanistan and the local network here is Roshan. I unlocked my phone by requesting the code from T-Mobile which they provided. I got the voice to work, but have no data. I don't even show data status in the system tray like E or G or 3G. Before I got out here and I was still under T-Mobile, I had them suspend my line for my time out here. I don't know if that has anything to with it, but I thought I mention it just in case. Now, all my mobile settings are on. I texted 167 with "GPRS on" to get the configuration settings sent to me. I installed them. I then double checked the settings with several sites to make sure I had the correct settings. I called the customer support for Roshan, and they sent me the same settings. I called T-Mobile and they said it has nothing to do with them as I have unlocked my phone and the problem is with the Roshan network or settings. I then heard there might be a hidden T-Mobile Access Point Name Setting in my phone that could be interfering. I then rooted my phone and followed some instructions posted by TheUnlockr site for deleting hidden APNS. I used APN backup and restore app, but my phone let me know that no Third Party Apps can be used on APNS for Android 4.0+.

I have a buddy who is using a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 and his works on the network.

So, if anyone has any ideas that could help me figure out what the actual problem is, I would really really appreciate it.

Thanks.

I have searched and then made this thread. There were some people with home button issue but None of those were related to my problem.

PHONE MODEL - GT-I9505 ( International version)

I have had my S4 for a couple of months now and I am addicted to flashing. I flash a test lot of new roms.

MY PROBLEM

When i make or I get a call, Once i pick the call and put my phone to the ear and after the proximity sensor turns off the screen i cannot use my home button or powerbutton to wake the screen during call. For example if i want to cut the call During a call. I simply cannot do it. Sometimes the home button will respond, Some times it wont

For the home button to work The other party has to cut the all only when my phone detects that the call has been disconnected it wakes up. Looks like the home button stops functioning ?

I dont know what is happening.

I thought it was the rom issue, But it isnt. I tried two different roms. Did the same behaviour.

Any advice or anything to help me will be appreciated. Is my hardware damaged?

My phone is never dropped and is very new like .
