I've searched the forms and I saw the delete password zip file, but I think that my phone has the usb disabled. I setup a password late last night, and I can't for the life of me remember the password. I did a reset of the cache, but it is still asking for password.

I have also tried new passwords. I'm up to 40 and it didn't offer any way to reset the password. So, anyone that could help. I would appreciate it. I don't want to lose the pictures on the phone, but I guess I'll have to if I can get into the phone.

How to stream video from S4 mini GT-I9192ZWAINU to TV set using MHL/HDMI/USB?

I dont have a Samsung TV set, hence solution should be workable on all TVs having HDMI /USB port. The specification sheet on Samsung India website does not say anything about the compatibility with HDMI/ MHL. If S4 Mini is MHL compatible then I can use MHL to HDMI adaptor.

Hi to all, does anyone knows is there any app or mod for screen colors adjustment? I'm fully stock right now and I don't want to root my phone, but if making colors more saturated demands root I will. Thanks

Sorry for the question, How do you backup the device ?

Can some one help ???

Hi,

To be more exact, I am looking for the xBackup tool,

and not the Operating system ROM version.

That is to backup the all data, contact info, appointments, and the applications that I installed.

I saw the flushing tools, but that is not the ones I am not looking to the OP backup tools - thanks.

Thanks,

[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SagarRox:
Hello Everybody,

I've been lurking around xda-forums for quite sometime and thought I will register now.

So here is the story:

I broke my Samsung Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 when it fell down from PC table while it was charging :( I went to a local repair shop and got the screen replaced. But since then, the phone does not come out of safe mode. I tried so many things advised all over the internet but was not successful. Tried pressing those 3 buttons while rebooting, tried moving it to download mode and then rebooting, tried factory reset and even flashed the OS once.

I read somewhere that issue can occur if touch key strip is not placed properly, got my local shop guy to re-do it and no use. He got 4 other screens and all screens give the same result - bloody safe mode :(

What do you guys suggest? Is there a way one can remove that safe mode functionality built into Android? Or, any custom ROM which will have pre-installed apps? I dont care if it says Safe Mode at the bottom, just need to run few essential apps.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sharingan:
try rooted stock rom or any good custom rom like of mr balliboxer or go to customer care

good luck :good::good:
[Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SagarRox:
I was able to get the phone out of Safe Mode :D. My local shop guy did not give up and managed to get it out of safe mode. The problem was - faulty screen. He kept testing some screens and finally one was perfect.

Since there is no warranty on the phone now, it's time for some real fun. :)

Does having a custom Rom enable me to download more apps then the standard default.

Sent from HTC desire S Android 4.0.4
[General Questions and Answers] Erisii:
I'm not sure if having a custom ROM will enable you to get more apps directly, but it will most likely help with performance, and might make rooting your device a lot easier. Be sure to do a backup and make sure you have everything in order ahead of time, if you decide to try it.

[General Questions and Answers] shadowcore:
Yes and no. Some aps have ceased support for versions higher than 4.0, like app2sd. Also since 4.0, there is no adobe flash support.

However, some other apps have dependencies on newer androids and therefore using a custom rom might enable them to you.

In essence, it depends.

Haha, you got the desire S. I was nearly going to buy that phone.

Well done Google! You proved that you have added another skill to your inventory!

A world class prankster!

The commercials and the Kit Kat candy bars with cryptic clues and $5 play store credits was pure genius, like I have said before. A wonderful marketing machine for both Nestle and Google, and paved the way for advertising your products on popular consumer food items in the future.

Bravo, bravo!

PS - you also turned me into the Halloween scrooge, as there will be no child who will receive a Kit Kat or Nestle candy product from me tonight as I will go out of my way to avoid these products today on my $100 annual candy purchase - I live in a soccer mom neighborhood where kids swarm like locusts as the sun goes down. Just my own little personal trick or treat favor in return - if everyone on XDA did the same around the world it would make a nice dent in those holiday profits, and that would be wonderful news to read. But alas, people are fickle and will awake tomorrow morning like the same excited 'hungry dog' with 'lapping tongue' hitting F5 on the source page until they finally wear off the letters, and yet no update will come until mid November because any later than that and you risk parents and shoppers buying another type of phone for the holidays, and that's not going to be allowed to happen because that's part of your arterial blood supply.

Happy Haloween my XDA brothers and sisters! And for once Nestle can 'eat me' not the other way around! lol.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] odalanizi:
Hi there,

I bought this Galaxy S4 (model sgh-1337) on eBay. It cost 600$

I thought I was getting a 32GB version, but it turned out to be a 16GB.

Furthermore, there was other odd things about it... like the battery says it was made in Korea and assembled in Vietnam.

Also, look @ the two pictures attached.

The first one shows when I remove the back, and the battery; there is some writing that says "unlocked, do not remove" does anyone know why it would say that?

The second one shows the "Qualcomm 4g" sticker on the top, and it's kind of crooked, as if someone put it on...

but when I check EMEI it is valid, and a real phone...

what do you guys think?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] odalanizi:
The seller claimed to not know it was only 16GB, and has offered 20$ back...

should I return this phone? or should I keep it?

I downloaded software and it says this phone is genuine.

I'm just worried about that sticker on the back, what's it for? the one that says do not remove...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Theoriginalgiga:
have you checked the IEMI number that's in the phone? check with the powers that be to see if it's blacklisted? To me the phone smells of fish and I'd get your money back ASAP. talk to the seller, contact ebay, put a claim in with PayPal and put a stop on your account. Ebay is too shady of a place to buy a phone IMO.

to get your IEMI number dial *#06# on your dial pad or go from the home screen Tap Menu key > Settings > More > About device > Status > IMEI
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bigblue95z:
Return! One can be had for far less than $600!! Especially if it's only a 16gb and USED! My Qualcomm sticker was crooked too, that's not an issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] i31us:
from a price perspective I only paid $400 16GB S4 which was almost brand new but was missing headphones and charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] iamterence:
Well, if it works, then root it and use it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] odalanizi:
I checked the EMEI number, and it seems to be good.

I agree, though, this phone smells fishy...

the problem is I didn't pay with Paypal, I used interac E-Transfer, which is kind of like an online wire transfer...

and now the guy is saying "sure, I'll refund you, send me the phone back first"

how do I know if I send him the phone he simply won't keep my money AND the phone?

PS. Where can I buy another one? where you guys getting it for under 600$?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] deadenz:
I agree. $600 is too much. I would've sold mine for $500 and it's in like new condition. decided to just trade it for a brand new LG Optimus G Pro
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cssacropolis:
I think when I got my sgh-i337 from att, the Qualcomm sticker was around the sleep button (not sure..)? Also it looks like this is a sgh-i337m which means it should be an unlocked bootloader. Perhaps this is why the sticker says "unlocked.."? I would return this regardless, looks way too shady.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] i31us:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] KeeperOfThePizza:
Hmmm. Looks fishy.. and Why is there a sticker saying unlocked do not remove?....... Also the Qualcomm sticker is in the right place (thats where mine was from at&t). Does look like it was moved.... Also....

Why would you buy one for 600 when you could probably buy from the carrier for that price?

to buy a phone, hit up swappa. I've bought a couple things from there and I've had nothing but great experiences.

As for him stealing your phone and your money, I'd contact ebay's support and interac e-transfer to see what their policies are about a situation like this. I'm curious, why did you use interac? do you not have a paypal account or did the seller require it? Do you have the seller's address and not a PO box?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] odalanizi:
****, Ebay said I'm not covered since I bought it outside of Ebay....

So now it's a risk... if I send him the phone back, and he doesn't send me my money, I'm screwed.

****!!!!!!

I really don't need this....

any advice guys?

I should have sent the money through paypal... but he said I'd save 30$ if I did an interac e-transfer, and I got greedy... I should've stayed with the buyer protection.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] WarbyParker:
Paypal only charges the seller a transaction fee, he saved $30, not you.

You overpaid, sucks, but learn and live. Keep the phone and use it, at least it isn't a piece of junk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] colbur87:
You cant expect him to issue a refund without getting the phone back first...He would be risking the exact same thing. As an Ebay Powerseller we issue refunds once the product has been returned. This is standard.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] odalanizi:
I honestly would consider keeping the phone....

if it wasn't for that sticker at the back that says "unlocked, do not remove"

what the hell is that? it seems so sketchy...

but a hardware review shows this phone passes, it's genuine, not a clone, and all is working fine...

I'd rather keep it, tbh

but WTF is that sticker!?!?!?!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Theoriginalgiga:
did you ask him about the sticker? maybe there's a reason for it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ORT14:
Maybe the seller has a bin full of them and marked which ones were unlocked and which weren't. They he grabs one, throws a battery in and a cover then ships it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] bec48:
File a claim with Ebay becuase of it not being what was listed they will go after him and get the money for you then they will have you send the phone back once the phone is shipped with tracking number Ebay will refund you thats the best way and 600 for 16gb is hi.

Yeah I'd go with craigslist too you can find some for 400$ or even get a good deal at like $350. Because you can always meet the person look at the phone first than decide if you want it or not. I've did craigslist trade a bunch of times and there's nothing sketchy about it just go somewhere public like att store that way you have a store to verify with you.

If I were you I would take the hit. But honestly.... The eBay listing is NOT AS DESCRIBED. It's 16bg not 32g like you wanted. But you messed up and didn't pay with PayPal. Call ebay and ask what can be done for you in a situation where item is not as described. They usually side with the buyer.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
You guys don't get it!

EBAY NOR PAYPAL CANT DO NOTHING FOR HIM.

He paid for the product outside of eBay or PayPal. He sent the money directly via wire which in terms is an outside transaction from eBay. If he had paid via Paypal then eBay would gladly help him.

Him opening a case with PayPal won't do anything since he can't open a case. Why? Because he never sent the payment using eBay or PayPal. If anything the seller could "report" the OP as a buyer who never paid for the item.

My advise to you as the buyer, keep it. The device functions and works, yes? Suck up the price loss and be happy. It could have been worse and have Bought a device from scamslist that would eventually be reported lost or stolen causing the device to become blacklist.

If make him refund the $20 like he offered to for it not being 32gb. Really he should refund $50 because of that. Also as everyone else has said they go for less money now since it's been out since May. You probably could've won a galaxy note 3 for that price.

Water damage indicator is just a tiny hole bottom right corner under the battery.

If its really i337m then use kies to restore to factory default. Don't worry if it's real you want lose anything like unlocked boot loader. If kies says its not a known device it is most likely a fake somehow. Kies checked emei for emergency restores
