[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sequeens:
Hello:

As this is my first posting, I hope I'm doing it correctly:

I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (AT&T) SGH-i257. The unit is both unlocked (open lock symbol appears on the screen at each start-up) the unit is also Rooted I have Root Explorer, SuperUser, & APK Installer in my Apps. I want very much to upgrade the unit from KitKat 4.4.2 up to at least Lollipop or Marshmallow, so I am able to use several Apps. that are not compatible with KitKat.

Is the Custom ROM for the SGH-i257M the same ROM for the SGH-I257? (LineageOS ROM Samsung Galaxy S4 Mini (GT-I9195, SGH-I257M, SHV-E370K) serranoltexx)?

Many thanks in advance for any help.

This is not the Sharp version that has to be patched with a modified .dll to work, this is the real thing. Unfortunately, only a beta so far, and only a 45 Day Testversion at that, but very nice to look at nontheless, and it natively starts in VGA Mode.

Thanks Rapax,

Just downloaded it and will soon install.

Thanks once again for sharing this vital information

After a brief trial:

Page rendering is probably the best (better than PIE and Netfront 3.3)

Does not handle mail attachments in web based e-mail accounts such as Gmail. Both PIE and Netfront 3.3 do support file attachments.

Does not support flash sites though I have Macromedia flash player 6.0 on my Jasjar and PIE uses it. Netfront will take advantage of flash sites once the commercial version is available.

In terms of speed Opera appears to be the fastest compared to PIE and Netfront 3.3

Don't know if there is a way to define a user-agent because in its current form it forces us to mobile versions of web sites. I could not visit my hotmail site and it forces me to the mobile msn site. Likewise for www.handango.com

So all in all I have mixed feelings regarding this browser. Good in some areas but not the best. For my needs Netfront is still the overall winner. (However these are just my views)

Again may be it is only me but after I have used and closed opera (really closed) it prevents Planmaker to start up. I have to reset the Jasjar to be able to use planmaker again.

Sweet Lord, it's gorgeous. Simply gorgeous.

THIS is the browser that should be included with WM5.0.

EDIT: TAB doesn't work to move between fields...minor point.

Sharp version - new version

What's the difference compared to the Sharp-hacked one?

Do you see any improvement?

I have that, and it's working well.

The major problem I have is in using java applets. Unfortunately it seems a problem only Nefront 3.3 will be able to solve.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jah:
Opera looks good on initial usage.

Seems very kind to the RAM, did not see any leakage unlike with PIE
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] dherrero:
I ve tried it but it doesnt start. I ve installed in sd and ram but doesnt start. Any idea?

No errors. the clock spin 4 times and nothing hapens.....

Has this version fixed the double-space bug when entering stuff into text fields?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jami1:
I am using it too. I think this browser looks especially nice on these model of phones because of the landscape screen orientation, and VGA.

it seems to work very quickly, as well and I did not have a problem with java applets. in fact I went to my bank site and alot of other sites that used java with no problem. Not sure how they manage to fit everything and resize everything to that small screen but for right now it will be my browser of choice.

It handles new windows very well and like other said doesn't take alot of ram. i do find it runs better when installed on storage memory as oppose to memory card storage.

i am going to continue to test it though. I have not played with netfront 3.3 as much.. but i like opera alot better.so far.

those that have not tried it I highly recommend it.

I didn't like Opera 8.5. Personally, I prefer PIE with Multi IE... can't find any better!
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean473:
Hi Guys,

I'm really getting pissed off with the Z1 now.. I use it quite a bit every day and I struggle to get 3-4 hours of screen time.. I'm usually on 50-60% brightness, LTE/Wifi with Stamina mode enabled and I've kept wakelocks to an absolute minimum. How the hell does the LG G2 get 7 hours screen time and not even do this? Is there nothing else I can do to increase screen time?

Thanks

Sean

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sean473:
Why should I adjust the CPU? Its as it is... I shouldn't have to undervolt or underclock to get better battery life...

Yes it is.. I'm on a custom ROM now and I get 4 hours tops... Stock ROM only gave me 3 hours...

[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morlock O:
Because you asked for suggestions, it is a valid suggestion...

if I don't play games I get 6 hours of screen time... 3g browsing... rarely use lte as 3g is more than enough for me...

If I play heavy games (Asphalt 8) I get 4 hours...

if I under clock to 1.7 ghz I get 4-5 hours of gaming...

my stamina is always on...

you can't compare to LG G2, LG G2 uses a new technology on their battery that extends the life up to 20%... and right now LG G2 has the best battery life out there... and their CPU governor actually under-performs the CPU giving it more battery life... thats why the bench marks scores on LG G2 are lower despite it having the same chipset as the Z1...

you can also check Note 3 forums and see that the battery last roughly about the same as xperia Z1

on average they get about 5-6 hours of screen time, without heavy gaming...

I installed CM10.1.3 using Odin and TWRP. Well, I didn't have my contacts so I'm trying to restore it to the backup I made so I can save those to the SD card and reload CM. Therein lies the problem. I cleared the caches, restored the backup and all went well until I tried to reboot. My phone has been stuck on the Sprint screen for over half an hour and won't boot. I know the first boot takes longer but not 30+ minutes right?! What's going on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] El Shaddai's Wrath:
Try a battery pull and start from scratch.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JL-KA:
Start from scratch as in reload the backup? Or just try to power on?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JL-KA:
Trying both. Pulled battery and tried to turn it on with the same result. Stuck on the Sprint screen. I'll try restoring the backup again and report back.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JL-KA:
Not looking good. Restored the backup again and clicked Reboot. 10+ minutes on the Sprint screen so far.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JL-KA:
Didn't work. Gonna try reinstalling cyanomod. Hopefully I can end up with at least something that will fully boot.

Nothing is working. I can't even figure out how to get cyanogenmod back on the divice. Last time I downloaded that from the phone.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JoeFCaputo113:
Simply try a factory reset in your recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JD1zzle:
I would also recommend a factory reset, either through recovery or from ODIN. Worth noting that, if you back your contacts up to your Google account, you can import them from there when you reload, without having to reflash, export to SD, flash again. This could also work for you in the unfortunate incident that you have to factory reset without a functioning backup (like now).

Also, Titanium will of course back up contacts and MMS/SMS, for future use once you get through the soft brick.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] HipKat:
Hey Bud, just got your PM. One thing I Noticed with the S4 is that restoring nandroids can be a real pain. I struggled with mine for hours before I came up with a way to get it done AND get root back, which was my problem.

Granted, I'm on US Cellular, but it should work the same way

The first thing you need to do is make sure you're using Odin 3.07 As Administrator

Get into D/L mode (Power + Vol Down, then hit Vol up when the screen appears - works better if you're not connected to your computer yet)

Connect your phone and open up Odin, then check Reboot, PDA and flash the stock ROM for your phone.

I THINK the .tar file is in THIS Thread

Click start, once it loads into Odin, which could take a minute so don't freak if you get Odin (Not Responding)

If it boots back up into stock, you're golden. Then you can try and re-root as normal.

Now, the problem I had, was getting Root back. It just wouldn't take, even though it showed Success, using CF Auto-Root, Klingo, etc. All of them. SU got installed, but binaries would not install, SO, here's the procedure to get Root back.

You'll need the Chainfire SuperSU Update on your SDCard and you'll need the .Tar file for either CWM (I recommend) or TWRP for the Sprint S4. Not sure where to find those but someone will know on here

Put the SU Update on your sdcard

Boot to Recovery (Power +Volume Up)

Do a Factory Reset then reboot. Skip over the setup

Power down then reboot to Download Mode

In Odin, Use PDA to browse to the CWM.tar and run it - Now you have Custom Recovery

After Phone boots up, power down and reboot to recovery.

Flash the Chainfire SU Update

Done! Just like that.

Power up and check root

Hope this helps, neighbor

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] balus3u:
i guess you are using poweramp or other music player. im guessing your problem is the overlaping of clock widget and missing of some things from the music player widget . either you have to contact the developers of the app or wait till they update the app to support 4.4. such things happen all the time when a new android update comes out . developers need time to update their app . so be patient..

a piece of advice : whenever you ask for help , try to explain it a bit more , dont expect people to figure out your problem..

Thought I might use this thread rather than create a new one. I'm using stock Kit Kat unlocked on a Nexus 5, and when playing music, when the track advances the track name on the lock screen doesn't (this is if the lock screen is on before the track advances, and it advances by reaching the end of a track rather than skipping).

Anyone else seen this or know of a fix?

Maybe your windshield is causing the glare.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] volcomguyaz:
Mind sound silly but there is a small protective piece of plastic over the lense that, after 3 weeks, I finally found/removed it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] idtheftvictim:
I would have to agree, I think you need to see if the plastic protector is still on the lens. I removed mine about 3 days after I got the phone. I was taking pics that looked exactly like yours do, and finally found the clear plastic protector and removed it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Cannot locate a plastic protector on my lense. The galaxy s4 did have one though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] IRIE4IPIER:
I'm with you, the camera on this phone sucks ass. I don't know if it's software, hardware or combination of the both. Takes too long to focus, whether image stabilization is on or not, trying to take pictures of your kids? Forget it with this camera, images come out too blurry. I like the smooth motion option on the video camera though.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] BACARDILIMON:
All phones are created different lol. Mine takes great pics. Contact t mobile.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] IRIE4IPIER:
Yeah, I saw a thread not too long ago that it's a manufacturing defect, but I rooted with one of the first ways to available, so, tripped knox
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
I think its the case causing the ghosting and light bleeding. I can see reflection's around lenses bezel and plastic case.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aznmode:
The phone isn't so great at taking night shots with flash IMO. A bit too soft and not as sharp and clear as my s4. The only solution I found was to use another camera app for these type of shots. I settled on Camera Awesome on the play store. Pictures come out the same and sometimes better than my s4 with night shots with flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] krelvinaz:
I just tried the Camera Awesome and all it did was say I needed to insert an sdcard before using the camera ??

No other apps have this memory issue
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
Just took a picture in daylight a cloudy day and check out what the duck looks like! Unreal, total over exposure on the white. Was set on auto with no flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] h3ck:
Aside from plastic on lense, a couple other things to keep in mind/check:

Camera Mode (Auto, Night Mode, etc)

Focus point (ie. when you tap on screen to focus the picture are you focusing on the actual light or the subject that you want to capture)

Cleaned lense (sometimes a dirty or scratched lense will produce noise images)

Case, which you mentioned (have you tried taking same or similar pics not behind windsheild and without the case in question)

Last, but not least, the camera comes defaulted at 9 MP (vs 13MP advertised). Have you tried setting camera to 13MP and seeing if the quality differs?

Those are all things I would check/keep in mind. My indoor performance hasn't been stellar but I know it depends on scenario. Also, using flash at night will always negatively impact your photo quality.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] droidkevlar:
I would take it in for an exchange. Dont mention anything about if you tripped knox or anything. Just show them the images. I for one bought this phone for the camera and love the pics. They blow my wifes iPhone out of the water and when compared to my bosses LG G2, I still think the Note 3's is better. Sounds like you got some hardware issues.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Limeybastard:
I was focusing on the duck when I took the image. Will try with case off. I cannot locate any lenses protector on lense. It was clean. Thanks for the tips
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] steezmyster:
I think it's a hardware defect, I don't have any glare on my n3
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] aznmode:
I don't have this issue. But the app does have a store to SD card option. Do you have that enabled.

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:37 PM ----------

I've noticed over exposure on whites on mine as well. But it's not all the time and only happens on really bright day or at night with flash. I generally have to turn down exposure value in setting to fix it. Otherwise day time pictures are great.

I just recently purchased the G2 and I've noticed some pretty poor performance when streaming video. I've tried both the youtube and Netflix apps and it doesn't look like it's HD quality at all. I've come from the iphone 5 where streaming in HD looks incredible. AND with the specs this phone has I would expect it to be capable of streaming even better. I tested the HTC one, g2, and S4 in the Verizon store and they all seemed to stream video pretty poorly. Is this just an android thing or am I crazy? I have a 720p and 1080p video stored on my phone and the quality is no where near that. I have the Nexus 7 and the quality on that is just amazing which makes me think it's not an android thibg. Can anyone shed some light on this for me?

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yyz123:
Is it the video player or the actual video itself?

I don't stream Youtube too often, but I thought something was seriously broken (software wise) when the videos looked low quality. I tried watching through a browser and there appeared to be no difference.

After several low quality videos, I just recently came across a video that offered really clear quality so I'm going to assume that it was poor quality uploads for the previous videos I watched.

Hi, I was hoping to get some help and insight with the situation I've been dealing with. I'll give as much information as possible so that someone might be able to point me in the right direction.

I have an att galaxy s4 that was purchased and rooted before the mf3 ota that made everything so difficult. I've flashed several roms and decided to go with liquidsmooth 2.37 atm and I'm experiencing a few odd issues (stock mss not working) that no one else seems to have, but for the most part it's running very well. Lately I've wanted to go with a rom using the new 4.4 and I've tried a handful no matter what rom I try I have the same issues. so far I've tried CM 11, Omnirom and Gummy. With all of them everything runs very laggy and glitchy and will frequently freeze until it crashes and reboots. Every single time I've used whatever gapps are linked in the op for every rom and followed flashing instructions to the letter (wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache, wipe dalvik, flash rom , flash gapps, flash super su (if needed) and reboot) and I've even tried different recoveries (both cwm recovery 6.0.4.4 and the latest philz cwm recovery) same results every time. This part shouldn't matter, but I tried flashing these roms while on the original mdl modem and after upgrading to mj9. Let me know any other info you need, but I've tried to be thorough. I appreciate the help.
