[Galaxy S 4 General] aliendna999:
ever wonder why sometimes your google services takes alot more battery than your screen? you think its just syncing bookmarks etc?

well.. its actually sending all your information to NSA.

It is well known that Google work close with NSA and it is also known that Android is one of the operating systems that NSA has it clutches on.

So there you know..

It is sending your call logs, sms logs, contacts, info on apps installed, web history, you name it.

luckily there are ways to solve it when you are rooted.

Samsung Knox is one measure to prevent user to stop NSA from aqcuiring information. But luckily XDA exists and some of the worlds best android developers are here to help us stop this.

It just goes under the saying "help save battery, to reduce google services wakelocks" etc.. but in reality it means.. "help stop NSA getting your information.. saving battery is a huge bonus"

well.. Thats bout it, just thought id inform you of this!
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dan1909:
Can you prove any of that, or should we all just join you in the tin foil hat party?
[Galaxy S 4 General] aliendna999:
ofc i cannot prove it buddy. if i could, i would be on most wanted list just like Snowden :D
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dan1909:
Then it's really just spam.
[Galaxy S 4 General] aliendna999:
its called a theory based on many pieces of circumstantial evidence :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] Anakha56:
Some people and the theories they come up with. Without one ounce of proof this is just "information" to scare the masses. Was getting excited thinking this might be worthwhile information oh well next thread...

It is more than likely Google Checkin that is being identified as Google Services? IMO It is actually the whole framework at use...

Google Checkin: http://androidsecuritytest.com/feat...orts-and-agents/upload-agents/google-checkin/
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dan1909:
No, without any demonstrable evidence it's about as likely as Bruce Wayne using google services to map all of our homes, just in case he needs it for the next Batman film.

And you yourself just said you have no evidence, so it really is just pointless speculation.
[Galaxy S 4 General] aliendna999:
wake up man..

it is allready out in the open that NSA spies on us. Dont you read the news?

it is already proven that NSA uses the Android OS to spy on us aswell. or do you want a source for this too? haha.. just google it.. NSA + Android

so how then, would google services be such a wild speculation on my part? hmm?

but yes, you are probably governtment payd shills on here to derail the topic .... suuure... i see whats going on here
[Galaxy S 4 General] Dan1909:
Yes, because I doubt your unsubstantiated claims I'm obviously a government employee. Top notch reasoning there!

Could you point me to where I said the NSA aren't spying on people? Here's a hint, I haven't. What I've said is that what you posted in the OP is completely unprovable, and yet you state it like fact, so I asked for your evidence. As you couldn't provide any evidence, I dismissed it as another lunatic conspiracy theory.
[Galaxy S 4 General] aliendna999:
then i ask again, why is the leap from NSA spying to us being proven and all over news - to the fact that they use Google services to do it? how is that such a huge leap and why does that leap make it a "lunatic conspiracy theory" ?

if they dont use google services, then what then? it is already proven that they Do spy on us on Android aswell , so why not google services?
[Galaxy S 4 General] aliendna999:
and it is also proven that Google and NSA work together so again, why not Google Services?

why is such a "lunatic conspiracy theory"?

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DONDIVIRREY:
I came from an iPhone 4s which is consistent with the 3g signal. I gave it to my wife when I shifted to the mega. Odd thing is I notice that I barely get 3g with the mega. It would be H+ or H but the iPhone seems to be faster.

Has anyone else noticed on this?

Is there a fix for this?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Kangburra:
H+ is 3G, if the signal is poor try a different modem.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] DONDIVIRREY:
How can be do that?

Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] celeronix:
H+ is something a lot faster than 3G itself.

The thing is that most of the people who use iPhone think that if they have 3G that's a miracle :victory:

Apple don't use the H symbol to represent the current network connection.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shingers5:
H+ is 3.5g so in effect faster that 3g. iphone software works differently than android and touchwiz also slows things down a bit. i think if your signal is like 1-2 bars then thats not optimum for data. my mega is on 4g and i get 30mb down so i am more than happy..........however my iphone 5 was no slouch on 3g! wait till we get some aosp roms which are lighter without all the bloat then compare
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jantonio23:
Hi,

I would like to ask if it is normal to have a maximum of 4 signal bars in S4? I'm already using the optimized modem in my country but still receiving 4 signal bars max in return.

I don't think it is a coverage problem though since I already tried my SIM on my old S2 and it is showing 5 signal bars without any problem.

As of now, the maximum Signal Strength I can get is -77dBm 18a asu (2G).

Any help on this? Should I consider on deviating my 'optimized' country modem and flash a different one?

Thanks!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jantonio23:
4 bars is maximum? Why is that? :eek:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alpha9ner:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jantonio23:
No I mean I'm already using the optimized modem for my country.

My only worry is I'm still getting 4 bars signal max instead of 5.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hovax615@hotmail.com:
I don't even get 5 bars and I'm in america in LA.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jantonio23:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] liviu993:
I have the same issue , i compared the signal streight from settings with another s4 and it gave the same streight but i have only 4 bars when another one have full bars , did you found a fix for that ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zoddex:
Because yes.... Samsung chose it to be like that... There is no problem on that
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ranger4740:
I don't know what your on about, almost every phone I've ever had has only ever had the display show a maximum of 4 bars, except a small % that had 5 rare I'm pretty sure.

In my radio world S 5 is actually more correct.

If you want more bars go get network signal info from the store.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cloxed:
You are using Wanamlite Rom, right? There's an option in the Wanam Xposed app that controls the number of bars shown. The default in wanamlite is 5 (up to 6), but the signal isn't adjusted to that number of bars unless you tick the 'Adjust signal levels' option.

I've tried about everything, in terms of uninstalling drivers, rebooting the computer, trying X and Y driver to no avail. I used the root toolkit to uninstall my previous SII drivers in case that was the problem, but still cant see it.

when running the root toolkit full driver configuration, I keep getting the message

turn USB debugging on (it's on)

use the recommended cable (using the stock cable)

use usb 2.0 ports (doing that)

uncheck MTP in usb debugging (dont have that option

What else can I try? I did not have this much trouble rooting my SII a year ago.

It seems your camera apk is corrupted. I have extracted the Original Camera Application and attached here.

There are 2 things you can do here

Method 1) If you have the original stock firmware zip file then you need to unzip and paste the attached application under \system\app (overwrite the apk). Once done you need to re-zip and flash this firmware via CWM (of course you need to do a factory reset & clear cache first)

Method 2) Using any system uninstaller app you can uninstall existing camera app and push this attached camera apk). Restart the phone if needed

It worked for me so no question why it shouldn't work for you :cowboy:

Regards
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] gugi_sat:
Hi there

yes u can

first u have to see that how much space u have in your JASJAR available to maps, normally maps take approx 100 MB space, so if you have more than 100 MB space in your JASJAR then YESSSS

it really depend on the map you installing, if you installing only one city maos then i am sure u can put the map folder in your JASJAR

other wise u can't

I got UK maps which takes about 101 MB space in my SD CARD well i do no which maps you wanna use

HTH

Regards

Gugi
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] bakerk:
UK maps on Tomtom are about 96 meg.. I reckon that busts the bank.

It would seem the only way at present is for you to forgo your SDIO GPS and get a bluetooth one.. shame I know but seems the only answer.

I use the Globalsat BT338 and it is excellent.. picked it up for around 80 quid

Incidentally if you are going to get an SD card the best bet is to get a fast one (I have the transcend 80) because, historically, XDA's and Tomtom have a compatability problem with cards they can't access quickly enough.

It ends up with the program freezing etc

good luck

[G2 Accessories] velvetdolphin:
After musing over the various cases available for the G2, I finally settled for the Body Glove DropSuit phone case. Ordered mine over eBay and after using it for a bit - here's my brief review. The case feels like hard rubber and is odorless. The black on black really gives my G2 a sleek-cool-edgy look, which was what I was looking for.

The front of the case is only slightly raised without covering the phone's bezel so as to maintain the G2's gorgeous screen area. It allows me to place the phone face down without resting on the screen.

The Body Glove case fits snugly and doesn't add too much weight or bulk considering the protection it offers. If you're one who likes to use the phone with one hand - like me - the case bumper's provides a great grippy feel.

The case gave some decent protection when I accidentally knocked my phone to the hard tiles from my workstation. I think the corner bumpers really helped cushion the impact. Overall, for the price I paid, its really a great value product.
[G2 Accessories] big70tom:
This is my favorite case. I buy it for every phone I get. I'm dying on the inside because they are not making this for the Verizon version

Pretty much everything else

1. 3g/HSPA+ Stuck on 2g bands from AT&T. AT&T people can see 3g bands? Looks like I accidentally pulled the exhilarate bits.Need to see if flashing the radio will make a difference.

This bug will not let you make outgoing texts/calls.

3.Captivate keys (soft keys) for home and search are not working. Partly my side and omni's side. I don't think the msm8660-common keys are working correctly across all variants (skyrocket/Hercules)

4. You must remove setupwizard from the gaaps, it fc.

5. Usual CM bugs (gyro/speaker) I think i fixed the speaker but I need that part tested. I'm using the aosp parts to try and fix it.

6. GAAPS always forceclose
