Could be dust under the screen. If I was you I'd get it replaced if it bothers you. I dont think there is no way to remove it other than removing glass to clean it and reapply which I advice against.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jaxidian:
Hi Blaze friends,

I'm looking for a budget device for some family members and am curious if the Blaze still fits the bill. I'll be able to buy them new at $130 off contract and am looking to upgrade from a Galaxy S 4g, mostly because they're having some hardware issues.

My goal is something less than $150 and I think this is the best Android option I'm able to find. I'm mostly considering this or a Lumia 521 (no need to warm me about WP8 ).

Also, if you guys still suggest buying a Blaze, could you also recommend a rock solid ROM (stock is a valid option if y'all say it's good) that won't require regular tech support?

Many thanks from a Nexus/AOKP guy!

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] xWolf13:
I recommend getting this phone! It's amazing. Especially with all the new ROMs we are receiving from the amazing developers on here! A good solid ROM is Dirty Unicorns (my opinion) but it would vary among other users. Always read the bug list though. Its fairly stable now and I'm sure most of the bugs are squashed. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask this spectacular community!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jaxidian:
Thank you. I really appreciate the feedback!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] thehumble1:
this phone is good and bad.

figure out if you need the size. If you don't want to go larger, this is about the best phone you can find.

There are some restrictions though. This isn't one of the mainstream CyanogenMod phones so doesn't get updates as fast as some others, even older ones. Also since it's been orphaned by Samsung, we probably will have a kernel problem within the next few generations of OS.

Also. The tiny internal storage has been a problem. Mostly this means you have to use a SD card and then install a 3rd party Camera app to allow for storage to the SD card, which can't be done automatically. I'd suggest Snap Camera or Camera JB+ for this (both $).

I have one with a cracked screen that I'm selling for $50. It's on T-Mobile right now though.

I wouldn't pay $130 for it since they are going on Craigslist for about $90 in good or near new shape. But I'm okay buying and selling used and do it regularly so that's a factor.

Overall. I'd go with a SGS II instead of the Blaze if size and the small price difference isn't a big deal for you. The SGSII has similar specs and a larger screen but with better XDA support as well as a lot more people out there with them, so the community is a bit stronger.

Just my not so humble opinion.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mackster248:
Just bought this phone for $130 new from HSN for my mom (her very first smartphone). What's the latest official update for this phone, I know it at least has ICS correct? Is it still stuck on that or has it been officially updated to JB? Thanks guys!
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jaxidian:
You're stuck on ICS unless you go aftermarket. They've stopped releasing updates for this phone. That said, ICS isn't too shabby.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mackster248:
Thanks man! Tempted to root it... But I suppose ICS will suffice.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jaxidian:
If it were for me, I'd root it. If for somebody I don't want to provide tech support for, I'd leave it. :P
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] mackster248:
Lol yeah my thoughts exactly. Does it require a micro SIM or regular one?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jaxidian:
Regular
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] gmolds:
I'm in the same boat as mackster in that I bought it on HSN and am now waiting for the shipment... on the bright side it's not for my mom.

I'm not one to spend as mush as I might on a laptop for a phone so this will be a step up from my Exhibit II 4g from two years ago. Faster processor and larger screen... I'm happy with that for $129.00

I've rooted and tried various roms on my Exhibit so I'm scannig the roms availalbe here now. If anyone has already done the heavy lifting I'm open to suggestions for your opinions on the best rom. My needs in order of importance are:

1. STABILITY

2. Battery life

3. Photos (and ability to save to external DS)

4. Bloat removal (in rom if possible)

4. Wi-Fi calling still functioning

5. Root would be nice (i have many apks)

6. Mapping (aka driving directions) works

I see many roms listing problems with the compass and the camera. I guess I would like a newer version of droid but if ICS meets all of my above needs then I'd be perfectly happy with that too.

Anyone have suggestions?
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jaxidian:
I have a feeling that you should be looking at mature ICS ROMs. I don't have the phone so I can't say for sure, but that's my gut feeling based on your requirements.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] njstein:
If I remember right, you might want to stay on stock ics. Wifi calling is a no-go on jb. Not sure if it's up and running on jb 4.3, but know for sure it's not on 4.1.2.

Sent from a Blazing PACMAN devouring ALL...
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jaxidian:
I don't think WiFi Calling has been ported to any non-stock-based JB ROMs for any devices. Definitely not available for general use.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] gmolds:
Thanks for the replies... I don't suppose there's a bloatfree stock ROM like I had found for my Exhibit? Otherwise I guess it's time to dust off Titanium and start freezing/uninstalling bloat :)
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] Jaxidian:
There are several AOSP-based options. I can't vouch for the quality of them so you'll have to play with them to find out. But I'd stick with what seems like mature ICS offerings though.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] gmolds:
Where is this thank button... I don't seem to see it.
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] gmolds:
Found it :)
[Moto X Q&A] chrisjm00:
Was wondering if anything similar is occurring with any of you. Every now and then the audio in video playback doesn't sync with the video that's playing. It's pretty annoying and the only way to fix it is to reboot. Does anyone know what causes it?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ChrisMcQuillan:
I upgraded to the latest O2 ROM and it has fixed all problems. However, now after a hard reset it appears to have lost my Internet and GPRS settings and said it failed to detect them. I can't connect to WAP or GPRS or send MMS over O2 Active now.

How can I fix?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] MrPhilly:
Using "Search" Command

Hi Chris,

A simple Search of "mms AND cab" on this site would have brought up the following post under "Networking" for "Blueangel"

If you do require further information, have you read this yet..?

Most of the answers will be found this way.. I promise.. :lol:

Thanks!

Many thanks. :D
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ChrisMcQuillan:
Still not working

It still doesn't work. I installed the O2 CAB but I have no MMS settings and GPRS is still all over of the place.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] MrPhilly:
Which one did you try..?

i-mate_PPC_O2_UK_Contract.CAB or O2_UK.CAB

Did you follow the correct procedure for the CAB installation..? ie, turn off for about 15 seonds, soft reset then make sure the settings are in place..?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] ChrisMcQuillan:
O2_UK.

What do you mean turn off for 15 seconds?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] MrPhilly:
ok - to turn off for about 15 seconds is to turn off the screen, wait a while and then do a soft re-set.. that should initiate your settings, etc

Also, have you tried the "i-mate_PPC_O2_UK_Contract.CAB" with the soft re-set procedure..

Off to bed now.. night night!

I really don't like the colour reproduction of my nexus 7... it's so dead and washed out, even worse than my ipad 2...

But one day I found a kernel for galaxy s3 that allows you to modify the colour reproduction level...

is there a such thing for nexus 7 as well???

thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ugoff:
I'm using Safestrap and I've installed two roms. One of them is a Google Play Edition that comes with a build.prop containing the SPH-L720 information for Google Wallet functionality. The other is Graviton 1.5 which is a build.prop that has the SGH-I337 information. When I first got the phone, I installed the GPE rom first, and then later installed Graviton. When I went to use the Play Store webpage to install an app, it had 'SAMSUNG-SGH-I337' listed as a device. After I booted into the other rom, the device name changed to SPH-L720. After switching back, after a few hours, the device on the Play Store went back to the I337. I've since booted into that GPE rom one more time, and once again, the device on the market has switched on me. It's been two days now, and I've been in Graviton the whole one, but it will not switch back.

I can't install any apps from the Play Store page, nor can I use the location or remote ring services.

Short of re-installing the rom, is there a way to force Google to update the device listing? I've tried clearing the Play Store and Play Services cache and data from the phone, but it didn't change anything. Will reinstalling the rom even help?

As of now, the only 4.4 items are visual changes, like the phone icon and the app drawer menu button. As more leaks, it will get added to the ROM.

Love it!

Love this ROM! It's exactly what I've been looking for, smooth, fast, reliable, simple, but with all of the features that I like, so I don't have to jump back a year in development.

The only definite issue I've encountered was that after having it on for 5 or 6 hours, I picked it up to use it and it was CLUNKING, wouldn't speed up until I rebooted. After that and since, it's been fine. It may be because I hadn't rebooted since installing apps? All I can think of, but I'm no expert.

The only other thing that is needed to make this ROM perfect for me until I upgrade my phone would be the torch app(I went to use this in the middle of a forest last night while walking home, only to find that the torch app doesn't come with the ROM,) and the option to put the clock in the center of the status bar. Two small things, but I don't think the clock code will be large, and the default torch app is the only one I know of that works with the quick settings toggle tile.

Thanks so much for making this kick ass ROM! This device is desperately in need of something stable and reliable that still provides a current-gen UI experience. Too many ROMs that all try to include the kitchen sink and never get those small issues cleared up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] troby86:
Any devs know why my framework-res would be causing my phone to not boot. I decompiled without errors, changed a few color codes, recompiled without errors, signed, zipaligned, added to my working folder, then build my ROM, but it refuses to boot, and its only the framework-res causing the issue. Is the current apktool compatible with 4.3? Thanks for any help.

Also, does anyone know where the hell the circle battery pngs are in CM 10.2? I've torn apart almost every APK and can't find those damn things, lol.

Won't Install

Before I explain my problem, I'd like to thank you for sharing this ROM with the community. Been reading the reviews, and I'd like to be able to install it, but I can't.

I've done a Full Wipe of EVERYTHING. And I keep getting a "Failed to Install" message in red. Any thoughts?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JNMM:
Maybe a bad file download. Try downloading the file again. Also, for this ROM the superwipe scripts work best most likely. And if that doesn't work, try a different recovery. I use the latest CWM through ROM manager app, and I have had ZERO issues flashing any ROM
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jarehm:
I've been on the latest CWM (v6.0.4.3), haven't used any additional wipe scripts and I've have zero issues with any installation. Like previous post, probably bad download.

Thank you. Will try downloading it again.

Clean installed with infamous wipe scrips many times, same problem every single time. When on other ROMs hangouts won't cause rr, curious as to why it does here. If nobody cares to investigate I'll do some snooping
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] gregcapps:
Possibly because the hangouts included with this ROM, is a Kit Kat app, so it may not be playing nice with the 4.3.1 base.
