[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ThDrkKnight:
(I couldn't find a recent post or topic regarding this)

I upgraded to 4.3 last night. I greatly dislike it, and want to downgrade back to 4.2.2

I tried running my phone in Odin mode and installing an older version of 4.2.2 (from May, I believe), but every time I run it, the FAIL box appears. Is there a another way of downgrading, or I am doing it wrong?

Thanks for any and all help!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] drakenjin:
At this point you are stuck on 4.3 ( I'm guessing Mj6 leak) until there is an odin flashable rom for mj9 the Mj6 update contained knox security among other things that prevents the downgrade (blown qfuse and such) hope that answers your question
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] s8freak:
No you cannot downgrade from 4.3 back to 4.2.2

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] NighthawkXL:
I believe he took the OTA update that AT&T pushed overnight. But yes, your correct that he will be unable to downgrade for the foreseeable feature due to Knox and what will likely be another incremental qFuse. I'm staying on 4.2.2 with SafeStrap on MF3 for a few more weeks to see what developments take place due to the release of 4.3 finally.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jeboo:
We need to be more specific when stating limitations. We can assume MJ9 incremented the qfuse based on past updates. So what that means is you cannot revert aboot/BLs to a prior version. It remains unclear as to whether MJ9 BL's will boot prior kernels. I havent had a chance to look at the MJ9 files yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CZ Eddie:
What about taking his phone to Best Buy to have them flash MF3 on it?

Could be they still have it in the computer maybe.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] LZLandingZone:
The blowing of a q-fuse means it is literally impossible to downgrade, even for Best Buy. Once you're on it, that's it. All they can do is take the new 4.3 build and flash it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] ThDrkKnight:
I received the OTA update.

Anyways, thanks for all the quick replies. Is there a way to re-add the "Mobile Data" toggle? I don't like how they removed that, and limited the toggle tray to 10 (instead of being able to scroll through all the toggles).

EDIT:

Is there a way to re-hide the apps in the App-Drawer? (I liked being able to display only the ones I wanted)

I've seen links and videos for installing Google play onto the Kurio 7, but I recently bought the 7s for my daughter and was wanting to install the play store so that I can install some of the games I've already bought onto her tablet. Has anyone found out how to do it?
[General Questions and Answers] Chrismang85:
I also have one (Kurio 7s) and was hoping that there was a way

I side loaded a few versions of the play store with no luck. Installs fine, crashed at start up.
[General Questions and Answers] mojo82379:
I also have a 7s and looked into the same thing. Followed previous methods for the 7 (which is not recommended btw) and have had the same results. App will install but crashes when trying to open. Wonder if there is some port the play store uses being blocked by kurio's fw?
[General Questions and Answers] jrodbrown58:
I've talked to kurio's tech support and they told me that the tablets don't meet googles specifications for Google play. I mentioned that I've seen where the Kurio 7 tablet was able to get the play store and they denied it. Makes me wonder if I wasted my money supporting them. But since my daughter loves to play on devices such as these its worth the smile on her face.
[General Questions and Answers] superb.user:
check you update option:)

they have it on ota now
[General Questions and Answers] DexterBelgium:
Would you mind providing some more info? Had an ota option not too long ago, but no Play store yet. What build number/ Android version does the ota update bring you to? I might just not have got it yet (staggered rollouts and such), or might just be missing something.

Getting the play store on this thing would be a huge plus, to an already pretty good Xmas gift.
[General Questions and Answers] ghostgyatso:
Were you able to find out any ways to get Play Store to work, or a way to make the older Kurio 7 method work?
[General Questions and Answers] DexterBelgium:
I haven't found out more yet... I'm kinda hoping I just haven't gotten the update yet, so that it will work in due time. I'm out here in a non-US territory, so I'm used to getting things later.

Haven't been messing with it too much, as sideloading APKs is tiding my son over for now. But I'm still quite anxious to get the play store, however :)

EDIT: this thread here on XDA seems to have found the solution: as I thought, the OTA isn't available outside of the US yet, but you can flash a US rom and then update it so as to include the Google play store, if you want. Nice. May wait a bit for the EU OTA, but it's nice to know this is an option

Google Play update avail for Kurio 7s

Hey folks , Just to let you know I received a email from Kurio Tech last week ,stating that there finally a Google play update for 7s , I tried it last

night and wolla, it works! Please pass the word around . It's simple you just have to click on the update icon in your list of apps ,(blue arrow).

You may have to update again after the first(I had to update twice).

Hi Bordo, appreciate the help. I've been able to change the model number through build.prop editor, however I still get an error when trying to flash a new i9505 ROM. Should I unroot and start again? If so is it safe to use a i9505 stock rom now that things have changed?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bordo_Bereli51:
Which tool are you using to flash firmware? Kies or Odin? If Odin, kill Kies related process in task manager and then use the usb port back of the pc and flash it. If Kies, I don't know much about it because I always use Odin Yes, it is safe.

Hi,

I recently bought this phone and its great. However there is one thing that bothers my a lot:

1. Screen latency seems normal to me but when I move finger, touch doesnt follow it well. I think the issue is that screen acts like I touched it longer than I really did. For example if I touch it for 100ms, it acts like I touched it for 250ms.

Is it a software or hardware problem? Can someone PLEASE tell me how to fix it? It is really annoying in games that use touch.

2. Are there any custom roms that are compatible with this mt6589t device? I'd like to try if custom rom would fix screen responsivness issue.

3. This is more like a btw question. How high clock cpu and gpu can achieve in mt6589t (quad cortex a7 28nm stock 1.5ghz, sgx 544mp stock 357mhz)

First question is most important to me, if you know please help me!

Thanks
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polkacik:
Hi. The clock of cpu goes at max frequency (1.5GHz) and graphic is overclocled too, but it can does at 500mhz (imo). And my digitizer is good. I think you have bad digitizer on you phone

Sorry 4 my english :D
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xfim:
Do you think i should go to service center (its under warranty)

Btw. If you have time, please try dead trigger (download for free from google play) and tell me if it lags when you aim slowly but if you aim quickly it's smooth. If it does then probably we all have the same "problem". About cpu i think it can go to maybe even 2.1ghz because mt6592t with same cpu is stock at 2.0ghz. Gpu i think can go more than 533mhz because gs4 has sgx544 at 533mhz stock

Thx
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polkacik:
Overclocking to 2GHZ may be ver very dangerous because processor can be overheated. And ovedclocking gpu may be very dangerous too because overheat+ very unstable, and digitizer u can root you device and use app "pimp my rom" but i dont recommeded this because you may harm you warranty. I try to download dead trigger, and response to you later if the lag or not :)

---------- Post added at 05:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:24 PM ----------

I try install dead trigger, i play 3 missions no lag, but there i see when you rotate (gun) is very strange its like jump from one area to second area, it's not "smooth"

Thx for reply. I doubt cortex a7 would overheat because mt6592t doesnt with 8 cores.

About screen, we bave the same issue. DT doesnt lag but when you see GamePlay on our phone, its not smooth. DT is just an example. Newer games dont have that issue but i hope its the software problem that can be fixed with an update or a first compatible custom ROM.

One more question: do you think (if i buy) MHL adapter would work on it since it supports otg

I'm in the group that doesn't really care for the new hangouts thing in 4.4.... so I decided to try Textra. Everything was hunky dory, for a day....

I'm on GoPhone, with an APN for LTE and mms working fine with hangouts. I installed Textra and got everything functioning the way I wanted... I had to change the MMS port to 8080, though,,, the other settings remained the same. MMS would send and receive just fine.

This morning I saw an update to v. 1.51. I installed the update and also installed the emoji plug-in. After that, no more mms. I verified that the settings hadn't changed, tried resetting, wiping data, uninstalling and re-installing. Nada. MMS is fine in hangouts, just not Textra.

One last try,,,, I had a Ti backup of v. 1.50... wiped everything from 1.51, rebooted, and restored the 1.50 backup.... still no go.

(BTW, I tried 8sms, but the group chat from an iPhone wouldn't play nice... too frustrating until that gets sorted out)

Any thoughts?

I have a KJAM and recently I purchased a stereo bluetooth headset from aircable.net. The headset supports A2DP and handsfree profiles. I paired the headset with my laptop in both modes and it works great either way.

However.... when I try to pair with my KJAM the dialog box searches and finds the "Stereo Headset" which is the name that shows up for the headphones and then it finds one service "Hands free". I click it and type in the pair code and then it drops back to the devices menu, but the headset link light never changes to connected.

Here's an observation I made about this particular headset, when I paired it to my friends Sony Ericsson cell phone, after you find the service and pair it, you have to then hit CONNECT before the headset will actually link up. It doesn't auto-connect like my Bluespoon AX headset. However, unlike my old HP h6315 which used the Widcomm stack and had a choice for CONNECT on the right click menu of each bluetooth device, I can't find a CONNECT option anywhere in the Microsoft Bluetooth stack menus.

Am I missing something? It seems like with my bluetooth GPS and with my Bluespoon AX that when I press the buttons on the devices they connect, but with this headset it requires the phone to initiate the connection which Microsoft seems to have excluded from their stack?

This is driving me nuts, I really wanted to use this headset with my KJAM... any assistance is GREATLY appreciated, I've been banging my head on this problem for a couple of weeks now.

NOTE: I realize this headset is an A2DP headset and that the Wizard doesn't currently support stereo over bluetooth, I am ONLY trying to pair the headset using the Handsfree profile, which works successfully when paired with my Bluespoon AX and the Aircable headphones pair via handsfree with my friends Sony Ericsson. It's only the two combined where I'm having the problem.
