[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] SoFaKiNgStOkeD:
I am currently using an iPhone 5, but I am getting bored again, and since Apple has nohing to offer new and interesting with the 5S, I am thinking about trading a guy straight across for the GS4. I am very familiar with Android, rooting, flashing ROM's, ODIN, etc., so no worries there. If I was to get ahold of a GS4 I would first root it, and flash then most stable build of CM10 because I absoluely loath TouchWiz.

Questions:

1. What major is broken in CM10 (if anything)?

2. Is the battery life really as great as everyone says (my GS3 was a joke even with minimal use during the day)?

3. What are some other things that bug you about the phone (be honest)?

Thanks eveyone for your thoughts, and I hope to be back to flashing very soon (my wife is going to love this again) HAHA!

I actually went from a Note 2 to a iPhone 5s. Not the best choice but I will only consider a Nexus device and I do plan on buying a nexus 5. I love rooting and custom ROMs like you but I want a fully unlocked device with tons of support if I stay with Android. If your on Verizon your screwed. They hate unlocked bootloaders and they don't want to sale cheap powerful phones off contract. I plan on using my 5s as my daily driver and Nexus 5 as a small mini tablet. Next year I plan on leaving Verizon by giving my wife the Nexus 5 and I will get the Nexus 6 (or what ever its called). I will sale my Nexus 7 2012 once I get the N5.

Thank you. I found two CM10 threads (prior to posting this BTW) and all I saw was this:

Known Issues

GPS - Sometimes doesn't lock. Current suggestion is ensure you get a lock in stock ROM before flashing.

Reboot - Extended reboot menu will power the phone off.Issues not identified by our build but possibly pertaining to it can be

Hence the reason for my post....This can't be all is it? I was thinking "where is the laundry list of issues"? Wow, that's cool if that's really it. Anyway, thanks for the response. It looks like I will be a happy GS4 owner then.

Cheers!

Hi all,

I will be buying my MDA Vario today.

It will have a T-Mobile NL rom on it.

What steps do I need to take to flash the rom?

(I'm not a n00b, I've had a o2 XDA II and still own a Magician but I do need a little help with the new phone :) )

I already found the network unlocker (lokiwiz) here and I will use it right away.

But what steps after that?

Thanks in advance
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Panja:
Any one?

Also whats the best (not customized rom) out there?

And where to download...?

Cant find anything on the XDA ftp site.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] Panja:
I managed to upgrade my device!

Was pretty simple after a good read :)

But my question still remains.

Whats the best (not customized) and last rom?

What are the version numbers?

OS + radio ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] p4png:
Hi, just wondering if you guys put your XZU in your pocket? I don't use a case and it feels so thin it would break from pressure. I don't wear skinny jeans either.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AntiLazarus:
Of course I put it in my pocket.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yeah, it goes into my front pocket unless I'm outside wearing a jacket. It won't snap in half, but it might bend if you're not careful. A nice rule is to take it out of your pocket when you sit down.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] samsmalls:
Lol@skinny jeans! Yep left front pocket & and every time I pull it out I get. "Whoa that's a big A$$ phone, what kind of phone is that" :good::cool:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Yep mine goes in my front left pocket as well, unless i'm wearing cargos for work, then it is in left thigh pocket. I do have a case/cover as I'm in and out of my truck all day so need something that will take a bit of abuse.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] try2hack:
me too
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] keithleyson:
doing this too but now I am having second thoughts.

Now my phone seems to be a little bended/curved. When I lay it on a flat surface it rocks a tiny bit telling me it is a bit curved. Now I am trying to put a heavy book on top off it to make it "flat" again.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Mine spends most of its time on my desk. After that, it would be my work vest, left chest pocket.

Then third would be my left pant/short front pocket. Then.... hmmmm would have to be next to the pie in my car!

:cowboy:

Jokes... its not a pie... more than likely just crumbs!

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] p4png:
Nice! Feel a bit safer putting it there now. Love looking at other people read stuff on their phone, looks so uncomfortable.

My rule is front pants or jacket when walking and jacket or show it off when sitting

Good to know its under .5

Ive been checking some sites to check this. man there are some massive falsies on the web..

can you guys confirm what the box says about wifi and bluetooth?

a/ac/b/g/n? or just a/b/g/n

bluetooth 4.0 or not?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I'm not sure. I'll have to check it tomorrow if I remember it.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] waveloom:
For me is definitevely A BIG NO!!

Is a too big and a same time, too thin device to go to the pocket without strong risk of getting ruined..

please buy something like this and keep it nooded to the trousers or wherever you want:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
What is that? A laptop? Lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] waveloom:
Oh no.. is the size of an'ebook reader, i've got it in a mall.. and is the exact size of the XZU..

well.. maybe an inch more wide.. but suits well.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AntiLazarus:
You must be joking.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] p4png:
This is where I put it in my car =) A bit higher now so I can grab the steering wheel better.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
even with a flip cover it still fits in most of my pockets. People comment on how thin it is even in the cover then I take it out for them :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Hahaha! Innovation right there.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] AWFRONT:
I keep my XZU in my back pocket when standing/walking and take it out of my back pocket when sitting in my car or when sitting on a chair/sofa and place it on desk or flat surface for easy reach.

As for external protection of the XZU, I use;

ROCK Flexible Series View Case for Xperia Z Ultra-simply the best case for your XZU (I have both White and Black)

Matte Screen Protector applied to prevent damage to the screen and to reduce fingerprint marks as the XZU is a fingerprint magnet without any casing.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Johnmcl7:
I keep the Z ultra in my pocket without a case which isn't normally how I treat phones but I find with the case it's just a bit big and while it's picking up a few scratches, it's something I'll just have to live with because if I can't keep the phone in my pocket I just wouldn't use it and have to get something else.

John
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] danifigo:
I keep it in my front pocket too ( slim fit jeans), the pocket is deep enough, but i have to say, my ZU is already have a nice little curve. It's almost invisible, but if i put it on a completely flat surface, it's noticeable. ( Also the "phone" started ruin my jeans, worn out on the lower-outer corner)

BUT! of course i love the sh!t out of this thing! (i tend to change my handsets often, but this will stay for a while)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] p4png:
Had the note 2, and loved the size but hated the quality (coming from iphones). This phone is perfect fit for anyone who wants quality and size. I use my phone for browsing way more than calling so it makes sense. If size is a problem where I'm going I just switch to my iPhone 4s, can get them really cheap now, and problem solved! This is awesome phone, probably going to keep for awhile too.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] SundayDuffer:
Front right pocket w deep pocket.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
i put it on my chest pocket.. and pretty confident about it ;)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
We got ourselves the future Quasimodo here :p You should probably use a lifting belt :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
lol.. nah i put it that way because i am not confident if i put it on my trouser.. Had phone stolen bout 10 years ago (yeah i know things change but...) when i put it on my trouser's pocket while on the bus, so never ever again for me.. So please pardon me to put this beast near to my heart.. :')
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] vladutz2007:
It doesn't fit in my pocket :)) i have a flip leather case and have a ultra clear screen protector on the both side.I keep my ultra in jacket :)) lol
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] stiggy2012:
Yup, fits in my front pocket fine. However I do wear a 36" leg though, so my front pocket may be bigger than most!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] ij0rgei:
yea I'm actually a 30" leg and I put it in my pockets. when walking around, I sometimes put it in back pocket for easy in and out, but that's just from habit. I use the incipo feather case which is minimal so it doesn't add much thickness to the phone but does give it some extra rigidity.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] boterkaaseneieren:
I was wondering. How did they put this in there pocket in the old days.
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] insert_generic_name_here:
Just bought a 8.9 hdx for my mom for Christmas. It seems to be the perfect "going on 60 and never used a tablet" friendly device. I think she would love a case with a built in keyboard, like I've seen for the HD's, but I haven't seen any. Am I wrong in assuming they will make one, and what would be a brand that made a decent one in the past? Thanks! And an extra thanks to anyone trying to root these cuz if mom doesn't like it, I'm keeping it. Rooted. With Google.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CoogiMane1996:
I do not own this rom neither am I taking credit for it. All the credit goes to Scott Breen Sbreen94. If you've heard of him or HyperDrive from the S3 then you'll know how legendary he is.

As usual search for the HyperDrive S4 RLS 10 Final on the S4 Verizon forum and follow his directions

But

when you select carrier pick option that says other for Att & T-Mobile S4

When you let it sit for 5-10 minutes flash Deviant Kernel on the T-Mobile S4 forums ane enjoy

Keep in mind based on my experience everything except 4G/LTE doesnt work.

Quick note neither I nor Sbreen94 take responsibility for any modifications on your device.

Update: November 2, 2013 - I was told by "Ramone360" "To build.prop and edit "ro.product.name" to "jfltetmo" and 4G should be back not LTE. I tested it myself and confirm it works.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] less.haste:
Hello,

I have just successfully rooted my S3 using "Heimdall Frontend" following the tutorial here:

However I found initially when leaving "No Reboot" unchecked I was unable to boot into CWM until I checked no Reboot then once the flash was complete I manually went into CWM by holding the recovery keys.

I then installed the SuperSu zip file on my SD card and rebooted my phone into it's newly rooted state.

HOWEVER.. I went to boot my S3 into CWM Recovery to flash a custom ROM and I'm only able to boot into the standard android recovery.. It says on the tutorial that versions 4.1.2+ need to tick "No reboot" otherwise the newer firmware simply wipes over CWM recovery every reboot..

I was under the impression that CWM was there as a safety net in case my phone ever played up and needed to be unrooted?

UPDATE: After using ROM Manager to boot into CWM to create a backup, it gave the option to "Fix reflashing to original recovery after reboot"

Is it a good idea to have CWM permanently flashed as my recovery? How would I revert back to the stock recovery should I want to unroot the device?

Thanks

Anyone like to share what useful apps they cannot go without on their g2? I like dynamic notification, es file explorer (g2 gmail app is not capable of attaching files other than using this).
[G2 General] shook187:
Pretty stupid thread considering most apps people going to list pretty much are useful on all phones not specifically for the G2
[G2 General] cggorman:
Specific to the G2 running a cleanROM...

Lux Auto Brightness - - because just the what the fcuk were LG's people thinking with their auto brightness logic? horrid.

GMD Auto Hide - - because 5.2 > 4.9

Eventually the AOSP ROMs will effectively incoroprate both those, but until then...

[G2 General] Gnarfsan:
"Lux" on any android device IMO.

"LMT launcher" is awesome. Hiding the buttons and putting them in a pie launcher makes the phone much easier to use one-handed.

"Screen Off and Lock" to add that functionality to the pie.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AssassinsLament:
I just received mine and it's nice. The only thing I don't like about it, is the power button. You have to press it extra hard to activate it. The volume buttons are perfect though.

I have a glass screen protector on and it fits fine with it. I also have the samsung wireless charging cover, and it fits perfectly with it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] imablackhat:
Pictures please? Also what glass screen protector.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] makavelisk:
Yes please pictures!!!
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] AssassinsLament:
Sorry, I don't have a camera to take a picture of it at the moment.

The screen protector is the INVELLOP tempered glass, but I don't recommend this screen protector as they didn't cut the glass correctly. You have to angle the protector a bit to the right, or else it will kind of block the front facing camera. Once you do that though, it's not noticeable.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] imablackhat:
Got mine in. It's the same replica as the poetic bumper. It's sick though. Idk who's copying who but I love this thing. Can't wait to get my glass too.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] ukic:
Got mine too, very happy with it so far. The power button is a little stiff but I guess they designed it that way so you don't accidentally press the power button when it's in your pants.

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Gvndeb60:
I have had mine for about a week and a half now. The power button loosens up after about a week and it is much easier to press. Also, pay attention to take it off and clean underneath. After a week the backside of the bumper had trapped lots of "dirt". I normally would not care but the silver trim around the sides scuffed/scratched on my Note 2 due to this. Was minor but still annoying.

Is anyone able to post some pictures?
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Gvndeb60:
Sorry, it is dark here so the lighting is bad. The case fits great, all ports line up perfectly. There is enough of a lip on the front to lay face down with no issues. There is also enough on the back to clear the camera lens, but barely. Overall we'll worth the money and looks great.

There you go.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] NickSDC:
Anyone have one with an aluminium back? Just wondering how fitment is with it.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Billmog:
kinda looks a little cheap.. the ones i would buy for the note 2 are similar and had thinner spots that cracked a few weeks of normal use.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Gvndeb60:
Perhaps we could get Bear Motion to build a flexible titanium case so you would feel like you got your $8 worth.

Seriously, what do you want for $8?

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] Gvndeb60:
I do not, but it should fit. The back is mostly TPU so a MM thicker should not hurt it.

[Moto X Q&A] juniorxdb:
Hi, friends.

I have a big issue in my Moto X... When I take a photo with flash, the color is very blurry and purple...

Any people with this? I received the OTA for the camera.

Thanks
[Moto X Q&A] jhnl33:
Was this happening before OTA? When you take pics, make sure your finger isn't covering the LED flash; that may be the issue. Otherwise, your only choice is to return it D:
[Moto X Q&A] juniorxdb:
I didin't see before the OTA, bacause when I turned on the device, appeared the update...

Mi finger didn't touch the lens when I took the photo..
[Moto X Q&A] theraffman:
Does it happen All the time or just with these photos? Looks like the light is reflecting off the cars, and in such a small space, it may make the auto light sensors go haywire... Just a thought.

Try taking a photo with the flash in a wide open space and see if you can replicate it.

I have no issues with photos coming out like that with the flash.
[Moto X Q&A] jhnl33:
Oh, I wasn't talking about fingering covering the lens. I was talking about finger covering the LED flash so that the light would bounce off your finger and into the lens, thus causing the blurry and purply and bright picture. Try taking a picture in the exact same spot with none of your fingers on the back of the phone.

Also, perhaps you might be using a case that is deflecting light into the lens as well?
[Moto X Q&A] DoogieDC:
This may be a very basic suggestion , but I mention it because I have been guilty of this in the past . Did you take off the little piece of plastic film that covers the lens?
[Moto X Q&A] theraffman:
This makes a lot if sense, if the plastic cover was still on it would take the very close light from the led and transfer it through the plastic, thus illuminating the plastic like fiber optic. And that little plastic cover would be easy to miss and may not be that noticeable with non flash photos.
[Moto X Q&A] magicriggs:
The camera is okay on the moto X, I have done a lot of post edits because of this phone lol. Thanks to snapseed and picsay pro. Pretty much every time I take a photo in gonna be spending 5 mins or so editing it. IMO it's a good trade off for touchless control and active notifications.
[Moto X Q&A] skinien:
This is what I was going to suggest. I noticed that if your finger is close to the LED, the light bounces off of your finger and the result is pictures like the ones you posted.
[Moto X Q&A] juniorxdb:
Hi, everebody. My Moto X has problems with the camera and the Motorola's Support will sweep the phone. The colors are always red when I use flash.

Thanks, friends!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jdaub89:
I have an att lg optimus g with the xenon HD ROM it worked fine at first but now when I try to boot into recovery(I have TWRP) a:it doesn't want to and b: the phone just shuts off and I can't turn it on right aways I have to wait 10 or so minutes. Any help in this matter would be appreciated.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] johnwayne007:
Can you boot into the bootloader?

To enter bootloader, hold volume UP and power.

Upon entering the bootloader, you will notice that there is no 'menu' to enter fastboot or recovery. Unfortunately, since the stars didn't align properly, we were unable to tell the new bootloader where to load the images that contain the menu from.

In light of that, you'll have to navigate the menu blind. Use the volume keys to change selection, and the power key to select.

The choices are (in order of pressing volume down):

Start - boot the phone normally [already selected]

Restart Bootloader - reboot into the bootloader

Recovery Mode - enter recovery (CWM)

Power Off - powers the phone off

So, to get to Recovery, you would press volume down twice then power.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jdaub89:
Thanks I'll try that out will post results shortly
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jdaub89:
I tried that nothing comes up even while blind navigating nothing happens tried rebooting into both recovery and bootloader from the power down options and nothing other then this problem the phone works all except both Wi-Fi 4g Data but both were working when I first flashed the ROM
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jdaub89:
Also when trying to go directly into the bootloader from when the phone is turned off its nothing but a black screen
[AT&T LG Optimus G] johnwayne007:
If you have the android-sdk boot into the rom, and try the command

adb reboot bootloader

or

adb reboot recovery
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jdaub89:
Ok I'll give that a shot I'll try it out when I get off work.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jdaub89:
Tried that as well nothing but a black screen on both attempts to boot into recovery/bootloader via android sdk
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Maybe have a look at the Teenybin thread, most likely will need to use alt. version of it.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Was your phone connected to computer while trying to enter download, and does your computer recognize that you have connected to it? Sorry if these sound like obvious questions but trying to rule out what we can.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] jdaub89:
Yes my phone was connected while trying to go into download mode. And when I plugged my phone into my computer it does recognize it.
