[Moto X Q&A] mikeosu:
I know there was a system dump of 4.3 on t Mobile, but it was said to still be in development. Some people were thinking the moto x would get faster updates being so close to stock android. However at this point we're getting close to when the heavily customized galaxy s4 is *supposed* to get its update.

Could the major camera firmware update have delayed them on 4.3? Or are we looking at another phone that will still be several months delayed getting android updates?
[Moto X Q&A] dpw2atox:
From what I've seen there were 3? leaks of 4.3 engineering builds so far to date for the Moto X. In addition to the standard 4.3 features, they seem to also be updating Touchless Controls, Active Display and the Camera App. Now I saw that 4.3.1 is rolling out to the Nexus 7 LTE and I'm sure we will see it released to AOSP "soon" with a list of changes as well as 4.3.1 updates for the other Nexus devices.

What I think happened is Motorola was told that 4.3.1 would be rolling out "soon" so rather than keep working on fixing bugs in 4.3.0 that could be fixed in 4.3.1, Motorola tackled the main issues such as the camera, call quality, etc for the OTA and will resync their builds with AOSP so they can go straight to 4.3.1 for their OTA.

Now I could be totally wrong but given Motorola's previous update history, the Bionic for example went from Gingerbread straight to 4.0.4 and skipped 4.0.2 and 4.0.3, from there it went straight to 4.1.2 and skipped 4.1.1. I know Motorola is rebranding themselves right now but I guess they made a calculated decision to get the biggest issues fixed first, then release the big update which will take more testing.

I also think that because Samsung and HTC released Google Play Edition devices, they got earlier access to 4.3 than Motorola did so this would explain how they've had additional time to work on integrating their UI's into 4.3. I think Google is just playing it a bit too safe in trying to ensure no one thinks Motorola is getting prefered treatment over other companies.
[Moto X Q&A] mikeosu:
That was my other thought. Maybe have to wait longer but be better off with 4.3.1 over 4.3

Hopefully 4.4 is quick though!
[Moto X Q&A] enigmaco:
or it could be skipped over for 4.4, google does have more control over it now. I am getting my moto x tomorrow I can't wait.
[Moto X Q&A] joshnichols189:
Maybe the S4 having been released months in advance also has something to do with it....
[Moto X Q&A] mikeosu:
Very true. I would be ok with that if it meant an earlier update! I'm probably getting one soon with that best buy deal. Too good to pass up!
[Moto X Q&A] rman18:
The biggest fix in 4.3 was the trim support (and SE Linux, but you won't notice that)... Moto X already has trim built in so there really isn't much rush on the 4.3 front.

I'd prefer a skip to 4.4 if that makes it a faster release.

Hello there,

Im with a big big problem right now, I was at Slimbean ROM 4.3 (JB 4.2) and triet to install original Samsung rom via ODIN, when I did I lost my EFS folder, IMEI, etc., but my phone did turn on and i could use it except for calls and messaging.

After several tries to restore my efs folder again (I had an efs folder "efs.tar" that is about 3mb but dont remember which program i used to create it) it simple doesnt turn on and is stuck at Samsung Logo, i tried instralling original ROMS via ODIN, custom roms via CWM and nothing of that works, i can copy files from the efs.tar backup file to the efs folder, but after i reboot it all dissapear and the efs folder is empy.

I tried lots, and I mean lots of ways to recover my efs, or even boot my phone but i get no luck at all.

If anyone can help me please, there is no way to send to Samsung at all.

Thanks in advance,

Hey,

I'm using a Qtek 2020i which I believe is the same as a xdaIIi. I have a wireless network set up at home and have managed to connect to it with the built-in Wlan device in my Qtek but every time I try to connect to the internet or send/receive emails it tries to connect to gprs even though it shows wifi is connected.

I have read some of the other forum posts here and many of them say to check that my network card is set to connect to the internet however where it says 'my network card connects to' there is only a blank box after it - no option to choose work or internet??

Has anyone got any advice on how to resolve this issue.

Thanks in avdance.

The phone continue to work

He reboot, I can reboot, reboot after battery unplug in normal mode or bootloader ....

but I have one big question : can I find a solution without changing the screen ... (I can do it myself but a GN screen is 120$...)

And HOW can I enable USB debuging without screnn ... I have to enter password and find usb debuging without screen ... impossible mission)

The only thing I make for now is booting in bootloader and pulled all data and make a backup on the computer
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdadevnube:
I would like to get a Verizon Galaxy S4 with the ME7 firmware to work with Net10 properly.

When running stock on the GS4, the phone powers off after bootup with the Net10 SIM installed.

Using Safestrap and Hyperdrive 9.1, the Net10 SIM works with phone calls and messages.

After entering Net10 APNs, an H+ indicator appears and data works.

The same Net10 SIM in an Atrix 2 shows 4G. Data speeds on the Atrix 2 are up to 5mbps down.

Data speeds on the GS4 with the Net10 SIM are only up to 1.5mbps down, but usually less.

It seems that the GS4 is not allocating the full channel width or something.

"Advanced Signal Status" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cc.signalinfo shows that the Atrix 2 is connected to HSPA (4G indicator in status bar.)

The same app shows that the GS4 is connected to HSPA+ (H+ indicator is status bar.)

Changing the network mode with "Advanced Signal Status" (GSM auto (PRL), etc.) doesn't yield anything better than H+.

In order for the full connection speed to be utilized, do some of the network modes need to be unlocked in the service menu? Any help is appreciated. Thanks

EDIT* it seems that Net10 doesn't bode well with the GS4. Service seems sketchy. Will investigate.

I've been having a lot of trouble with this for the last couple of weeks, although I'm on SlimBean not CM. I've reflashed ROMs with full wipes, used stock kernel, apolo, dorimanx. I don't know what it is because my signal is usually really good.

Here is a screenshot of what happens (signal is good but stays grey. Webpage will not load)

So far I haven't found a solution to it. I reflashed SlimBean after a full wipe 4 or 5 times yesterday. Right now my signal is ok but I have no idea why it's any different to before :confused:

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hopper8:
Ok so I did some more digging. They only turn blue when a connection to a google service is made. Hence, that doesn't necessarily mean that there is no data connection if they're grey. It means that no app is contacting the google server.

I've actually just stopped (using system tuner) a bunch of google service capabilities. For anyone interested what I disabled is in the first few posts of the betterbatterystats thread on xda.

By doing that it hasn't hurt my connectivity at all, but my signal never goes blue at all now. So I guess the signal turning blue isn't even important, we're just used to seeing it turn blue.

I'm keeping it this way for a while to see how it goes.

Hi all,

Title really says it all. I have a tabs set up at the moment but I want to add a spinner to the action bar as well. To use as sort of a category tool. So a user can go through the tabs but also simply what they are seeing by selecting something from the dropdown spinner.

I've seen tutorials for a spinner in the actionbar and they require the navigation to be changed to list

actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_LIST);

Mine at the moment is of course

actionBar.setNavigationMode(ActionBar.NAVIGATION_MODE_TABS);

Is it possible to have both? I have a title and tabs underneath to the title action bar is empty at the moment, a perfect place for a spinner. This is what I have right now: http://i1.ytimg.com/vi/ppuv-FP6c4w/maxresdefault.jpg I'd like to be able to add a spinner that is always showing where it says 'ABS ViewPager Tabs'

Any help would be appreciated. Haven't found a tutorial that integrates both yet.
[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
Since the ActionBarSherlock library is closesly related to the native action bar, I googled and found this similar question. It seems that, using these libraries it is not possible, however there are several methods to use instead (but those aren't so nice).
[Java for Android App Development] RED_:
Bugger. Guess I could try doing it with a custom view and work from there like shown in that link. Hmmm, might have to rethink how my app lets users navigate.

That stuff that I plan to put in the spinner has to be somewhere so I guess I should look to creating this custom actionbar thingy. Hopefully the output is smooth. Already using a ViewPager that the guy who answered mentioned so this may not be too hard.
[Java for Android App Development] nikwen:
This video from Google I/O 2013 helped me very much with my app navigation design: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XpqyiBR0lJ4&list=PLOU2XLYxmsIJOOTFfYzhR2d-rcSbBbEE_
[Java for Android App Development] RED_:
Thanks, I'll give that watch.

I'm currently using GridViews with custom adapters to show my content under each tab so if I could have an onClick change what the getView() method of the adapter shows to a user I could just keep it really simple and have simple buttons instead of a spinner.

That seems like a good option at the moment.

Hey guys,

I've got the XZ currently but I really like the idea of the huge screen on the Z Ultra, I enjoy gaming and watching TV on my XZ at the moment. Is it really worth my while upgrading to the Ultra?

Any pros and cons? Battery life?

After peoples experience rather than the biased reviews in Techradar and the like,
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] warfareonly:
Yeah, it's worth your while. The screen is fantastic and the open headphone jack really helps !

Camera and speaker volume are a tad disappointing but that's too be expected considering the slimness and the waterproofing.

Battery life is good, 4 hours of screen on with constant WiFi/data
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TraxyBoy:
It is completely dependent on your use . The XZ Ultra has a better processor clocked at 2.3 ghz , so it is significantly faster than the XZ. If you are into hard core gaming then this will definitely benefit you largely! If you are into photography you will be depressed because the XZ Ultra has an 8 MP camera with no flash. It severely downgrades from the XZ. XZ Ultra is difficult to carry too. But given your choices about the watching TV and movies you can go for it surely !

Why is the thread moved automatically to Q/A section though
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] k1mu:
A simple search would tell you that many of us have used non-VZ SIM cards. The phone is SIM-unlocked.

Here's the bands that the Verizon S4 has:

LTE 750 / 1700

WCDMA 850 / 1900 / 2100

CDMA 850 / 1900

GSM 850 / 900 / 1800 / 1900

[from http://www.phonescoop.com/phones/phone.php?p=4066 ]

T-Mobile uses 1700 for LTE, so there appears to be a match.

For AT&T, 700, 1700, 2300 for LTE. 1700 is the common band.

[from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_LTE_networks ]
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] michael3770:
I don't the bands on phonescoop is correct

samsung listed i545 to have LTE band 4 which is 1700/2100

One other thread mentioned Tmobile LTE cannot achieved on this model, only hspa

Att use Band 4,17, not 2300 for LTE

I'm just wondering if anyone has tried to hack the radio as they did for i535
