[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Shodam13:
Hey XDA. This is my first post here so hopefully im doing this right. Anyways A week ago i notice my S4 couldnt download any apps from the play store, but instead of fixing it i just ignored it. After I finally wanted to fix it since i wanted to download a app. So i backed up my phone and then i Factory wiped my phone to see i can fix the problem. Well it didn't. Now i have no apps. My device is rooted and unfortunately i uninstalled Supersu by accident. I meant to unroot the device but instead pressed the "Re install button" (remember i cant connect to Google play store so i basically just uninstalled the app by accident) So now i have no root control, My device is still rooted, and i cant connect to the play store. Any help is appreciative really. I've Tried Factory reset, Clear data and cache on the google play store, I even tried re-installing the factory version of the Google play store. This is my first problem on my Galaxy s4 and this is my biggest problem i ever experienced on a cell phone. Please help! :)

Here is a picture of what i get when i try to sign in

what case are you guys using ?

I am using the samsung's official s-view case and I dropped my phone the other day and now i have a dent on the top and bottom outter corners on the metal frame since this case does not protect it well....

i am looking for suggestions for a thin case that covers the body and have s-view window...

any suggestions ?
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] papashex:
Spigen bounce for me. Its thin and form fitting around all the corners. Only problem is 2 color choices, black and grey (light black).

Costs more than a generic tpu case but it looks and feels better.

I just ordered a spigen neo hybrid car from Amazon for 24$ (10 bucks cheaper than oem) it looks sick. I'll let you know how I like it on Monday. I got the yellow lined one
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wudien:
So I got my case yesterday. It's looks okay, not as good as I was hoping (I got the yellow banded one)

The aux port is obstructed by the thickness of the case. I have to remove the case to use in my car.

The buttons move in place, and are audible when moving the phone.

It makes the phone even slippier

Would not buy again

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
I could have told everyone about the spigen neo hybrid from my experience with their S4 case. It's one of the most overrated cases on the market, I'm not sure why people love it so much.

It looks and feels much cheaper in person than in pics and it makes the phone much bulkier and wider than it needs to be. And it's ridiculously overpriced for what it is.

Thumbs way down, I will never buy a spigen again.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redrover69:
Suggestions then??? Thanks
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WizeGuyDezignz:
If you want a fairly inexpensive no frills case, check out the one from Caseology. I got one for $3.50 on a deal from slickdeals and it's a great case with decent protection for the price. Even at the regular $8.50 price I would say it's well worth it.

[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redrover69:
Cool. What about screen protection??
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DrAzzy:
I'm using an iSmooth screen protector. Application was the smoothest of any screen protector I've used so far - but I don't know how much of that is just practice applying them. The screen looks beautiful, with no rainbow patterns, and grease resistance is good (the Spigen ones I used before on my original note, I had a harder time of applying, and both Crystal and Oleophobic ones accumulated grease like nobody's business, particularly the supposedly oleophobic one, and the crystal had slight rainbow patterns visible in the right light).

As for cases, I'm not using one; I don't like the added bulk from them - I instead used Sugru to mold little bumpers directly on the corners of the phone. The corner around the S-Pen is kinda tricky, since there's what looks like a mic on the long side, and very little space between the pen and the speaker on the bottom. I used 3 little pieces of sugru around there. I also put a little bumper below the volume rocker, so I can quickly find the volume buttons when the phone is in my pocket. The sugru comes off cleanly (scrape it off with a fingernail). It lasts pretty well, but it will need to be redone at least once during a two year contract, more if the phone is handled roughly.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] redrover69:
Thoughts on the S view case?

I think Im mostly concerned with the glass cracking than anything else...

Right now i am rocking the Incipio DualPro case and am waiting for a case from Cuzerlite to come in.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wudien:
I got the Tudia Melody and it's perfect. 8 bucks to boot. It adds a nice grip to the phone and covers up the chrome lining on the front. You know the part that looks terrible even with a minor scuff? No screen protection except for the raised edges.
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solarenemy68:
If you want protection and don't mind added bulk the Otterbox Defender is the only way to go. I personally have large hands and prefer the thickness and bulk the Defender adds. Plus you can throw it at a wall and it will not hurt the phone. The built in screen protector is hard plastic and will protect from most surface scratches. Of course direct impacts to the screen will almost always break it on large device like this and there is no case or protector that protects from direct impacts. So for screen protection you just have to take what you can get.

For me the Ottorbox has been the only way to go for my last five phones.

[MENTION=1925914]Solarenemy68[/MENTION] while last year me would agree with you, I found another case company called trident with a similar design. There a bit cheaper too (price not quality!!) :D long story short, mine came today and it is amazing. Has a built in metal kickstand. (Had a bad experience with my last phone cuz of otterbox's customer service. So tried something new)
[AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Solarenemy68:

For some reason my volume keys are not functioning properly. I have already tried to reset and it does work for a little bit but it eventually goes back to the media volume (like if you were in Youtube)

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjp5153:
I can confirm this same issue with my Nexus 5. Volume buttons initially controlled the notification volume, but now are only controlling the media volume. This occurs even on the home screen. The only way I can control the notification volume is to go into Settings->Sound->Volumes and change it manually.

Does anyone know of a potential fix for this?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l3s:
Same problem here.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liskrig:
Check if there is any kind of media player running (Podcast, Music, Pandora) it doesn't have to be playing anything, but I have noticed that if one is open it will change the media volume 8/10 times. Also tapping on an empty section of the home screen, then immediately changing it seems to trigger the ringer/notification.

Hopefully this helps :P
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l3s:
Thanks, I tried but actually for me is not working. So when I touch empty space on my home screen, nothing changed. Actually I'm not use any media player. Today I watched couple of video via chrome and YouTube. But anyway thanks for trying to help us.

Video tones are possible in wm2003/2003se.What u hv to do is to make a Photocontacts caller ID, a gif...which can even by from AVI to gif convertor...it plays well...I hv done so many times.....

2. after conversion where do you copy the gif ?

http://www.google.dk/search?hl=da&h...ial_s&q=avi+to+animated+gif+converter&spell=1

avi to gif converter search string

guess it comes down to if the 3th party program which show pictures when the phone rings support animated gif's which again i dont believe support sound

in which case a 3th party program to play the sound part pr. contact

would be required

would be hard to get it sync though

if the program is to support some nokia format insted of animated gifs i guess somebody would have to develop a new 3th party contact spc ringtone/video viewer which supported the format

that is if nokia use an open format

or the developers would have to reverse engineer the format

guess could be a big job so it's supply and demand which set the pace really
[General Topics] hdubli:
Hi Rudegear,

This feature is only for Nokia series 60 phones...and there's 3rd party software viz Video Tones/Watchtones etc..

What they do is these Run in the background and as per the settings done earlier by user, it loads a 3GPP/MPEG-4 video(No AVI)..

So if we can make a programme viz... Photocontacts which RUN in the system tray and load a video when there is a call...and I think Buzz,Vijay or may be u can easily make it.
[General Topics] zairyaab:
hey man, can u please explain the process you had posted earlier in the thread...

thanks...

jeetz
[General Topics] hdubli:
Hi!!!!

This works only in 2003/2003SE

1) Get hold on a convertor which will convert AVI/MPEGs to GIF...or as a trial u can use any GIF file(Animation).

2) From yr Photocontacts App...select a contact and assign that newly made GIF Animation.

3) U can then check with the Preview option available and confirm the PhotoCaller ID.

I hope this is helpful
[General Topics] zairyaab:
heyy !!

ok it worked well. but doesnt play sound does it ? also the image that we select, the .gif is quite small any possibility to enlarge it ?

thanks for the help.

jeetz.
[General Topics] Rudegar:
animated gif's dont have any sound

the sound have to be extracted and set as personal ring tone for the contact

any animated gif editor should be able to resize animated gifs

Hi guys I've had a on going issue that I though I would give another try at fixing.

I have unlocked my phone and am using a UK Vodafone sim and everything works fine when I use the stock rom

If I use an AOSP (I currently have slimbean build 2 installed) I am able to receive SMS but not send. I get the error "sending failed"

I have enable GSM using Xshortcut

I used HiAPN to get the APN

I'm using the MF9 baseband after downgrading then re-updating to get the unlock.

I have 3G internet.

Would it be possible to export the settings used in stock for SMS and port them to the AOSP rom?

I have tried using chopsms to fix the problem but that didnt work

I'm really out of ideas

All I need is to be able to send an SMS on Vodafone UK

fingers crossed

Thanks

Ive tried reseting it by holding the Up-voulume rocker and power. It reset it yes build it didnt effect the build prop im guessing cause its still stuck. Which leads me to my question.

Is there any way to enable this? I find it strange that this feature would be disabled as I was under the impression that this was a vanilla Android setup.

I thought the same thing when I loaded mine up. Maybe they will include it in 4.3?

Friend asked to check what can be done to get it working on T-mobile network...

This is what I have accomplished so far...

Got phone with MG1

Service menu unlock didn't work...

Downgraded MDJ through ODIN to see if it helps... No luck...

Got root by flashing through ODIN CF-Auto-Root for T-mobile's m919

Unlocked using RegionLock Away.

Didn't have much time to test, but was able to make calls with T-mobile SIM

QUESTIONS...

1. What recovery to flash?

2. What ROMs can I use??? T-mobile's m919??? International 9500 or 9505?

3. Do these phones have locked bootloader? How to check without risking to brick it?

4. Anything else needs to be done??? I don't think we are in 4G market with T-mobile.

Would be great to flash SlimBean...

There is no SGH-M919V or Videotron among supported on TWRP page.

Which one will it be? "Canada"? But there 2 versions of S4 in Canada. One is m919v (kinda like T-mobile) and 337 like AT&T

I read somewhere that Canadian TWRP for 337. Goo Manager just suggests Canadian recovery.

Another fact: some 919V owners run TWRP, but nobody specified which version...

So... Canadian or something different? There is no recovery that says it it for SGH-M919V

Hello to everybody,

I decide to create new thread to ask something ,that i believe is curious not only for me.

It's about N7100 stock and leaked version and latest official MK4 to.Basicly i know(or i think i know some of the answers)

So here there are :

1.Latest MK4 makes phone non-downgradable ? For ME-yes

2.We can flash latest MK4 without bootloader and still be able to downgrade and remove KNOX stuff ? For ME-yes

3.Downgrading from MJ5 to firmware before MG1 will cause IMEI lost ? For ME-yes

4.Downgrading to firmware before MG1 and flashing Modem for MG1 can fix possible IMEI lost ? For ME-need answer.

5.After rooting the phone system status will become MODIFED and Binnary counter will become 1.

With Triangle Away we can set counter back to 0 and with dr.ketan help we can fix system status back to Official.After that flashing

official stock will make the phone "like new" status-Official counter-0 For ME-need answer but i think is YES

Thank to all who will reply.

If you are on stock everything i know an app which lets you put a widget on your lockscreen. I know its not intergraded or something, but it's the closest you can get i think:

http://woot.me/torch (or https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.devuni.flashlight if the other one doesnt work)

you can just swipe to left on your lockscreen, click the large 'plus' to add a widget, scroll down and select the Tiny Torch app. There you can choose the looks of the widget. Then whenever you want to use the torch, swipe to the left on your lockscreen and tap the button ;)
