[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] md.abidahmed:
Hi all..

Today I bought a s4-i9500..I was told its an imported version and was unlocked.

When checked I see that the maximum Camera resolution is 8mp & not 13mp..there is no option to zoom, or dual shot in video..front camera looks like a vga one ..

Is it normal ..?? Please advise..below r a few details :

Baseband: UNIVERSAL5410

BUILD: JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDL

I did a factory reset..but in vain.its got a 4.2.2..with no available system or software updates..

Please help..

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] libove:
I've just purchased a Haier W718 (I understand there have been at least two versions of this; this is the current dual-core one based on the 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6572 CPU.

If I set the lock to be none or slide, then on the lock screen I can swipe right to take pictures with the camera without having to unlock the phone first.

But with a PIN lock, the camera widget is not there. I can view other widgets (weather, for example), and I can tap the big "+" to add widgets, but the camera is not in the list.

How do I make the camera available on a generic Android 4.2.2 lock screen, with PIN lock enabled?

thanks,
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] chriscullen42:
I come from a Dell Streak background - a device which I really loved to play around with and abuse!! One thing you could do on that device was remove a bit of plastic from the battery compartment and then you had access to the internal SD card fitted by Dell, which you could then change to another (bigger) one.

I have the 8GB Mega 6.3 device - which I love just as much as the Streak - but I have yet to mess around with custom roms etc, but no doubt that will happen in time. I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to change the internal SD/memory on this device to a large one? I assume the internal memory is just another Micro SD card and I also assume that removing the back of the unit would expose this card and allow someone to change it to a 16 or even 32GB card instead. I have googled and searched this site and other an not come across anyone who has found a way to do this - so I thought I'd as the question here to see if anyone else has come across this process anywhere.

Any information would be greatly appreciated
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:
I haven't seen this done ....

I don't know if that's even possible

2SHAYNEZ
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] starmaster10:
I don't think that is possible as i think the internal sd is surfaced mounted (soldered) to the mainboard, it might work if that could be removed and replaced with a larger capacity one..but it would take good soldering skills to do it..and not sure how it even would work if this was changed out. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] geniusrehan:
I think u are talking about this .... but is it possible in our mega?

http://club.dx.com/reviews/text/27001/309656
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] chriscullen42:
I suspect you are right. I thought it was worth thinking about as it was a very easy thing to change on the Dell (after a bit of deft stanley knife skills) and it would avoid the annoyance of having loads of space on my external SD card, but getting very low on the internal card. If Samsung could add a 'install to SD' option, like the Dell had that would go a long way to removing the need to increase the internal memory size. I've noticed a few posts in the Samsung galaxy section on here which says that some of the roms are adding this feature.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] shayneflashindaily:
Yeah I'm talking about that .....maybe ... But I'm happy with my 32gb lol

2SHAYNEZ
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] geniusrehan:
lol .. I have 64gb external but internal 8gb ... (because i got the wrong phone from amazon .. i ordered 16gb i9205 but they send me 8gb i9205) so i am searching for something to swap internal and external memory .....
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] chriscullen42:
I had a closer look at some of the mega teardown websites and it was apparent that the internal memory is not another sd card as it was on my Dell steak, it looks like a surface mounted chip -so that's that by the looks of it - no simple upgrade will be possible. Shame but not the end of the world for me as the phone still rocks! I do wish I'd bought the 16gb though.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Danchibald:
I think that next update will solve that problem... Galaxy S4 had the same problem i think (or S3), and update brought "move to SD" option...

I've looked everywhere in the settings, and I just can't find anywhere to enable this setting... Is there a mod I can flash for this out there somewhere?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felchy:
Check out an app called 'Screen Rotation Control' in the play store. I was using it on my S3. I just tested it for my Nexus 5 and it appears to work for it too as long as you have rotation enabled in the settings.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l3s:
With xposed framework + gravity box you can get it.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdchris12:
Didn't work. Said it had set "reverse portrait", but didn't actually do anything.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felchy:
Make sure you have the "Auto-rotate screen" option checked in your Display settings and try again.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdchris12:
It was set to auto rotate. I tried all the settings in that app; none worked.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdchris12:
I installed xposed framework, but I don't think it actually worked on my device. Every time I tried to load a module, it just failed and said I needed to reboot (yes, I actually tried rebooting). I'm using Franco Kernel R14, think that could have something to do with it?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Felchy:
Here's what I do to get the 'Screen Rotation Control' app to work on my stock N5

1. Start app

2. Select reverse portrait

3. Go into Settings ---> Display and enable 'Auto-rotate screen'

If I do things in that order, as soon as I enable 'Auto-rotate screen', the display immediately flips 180 degrees.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suprachilla:
The best app to enable 180 degree rotation on my Samsung A3 2016 (Marshmallow Android 6.01) I have found is this one (available on the Play Store):

Rotation Control

It is free and works very well to be able to actually rotate the device in all directions. Because the headphone jack and charger is on the bottom of the phone, it is very inconvenient that Samsung blocks the 180 degree rotation completely. With this app you need to apply the following settings (see picture) and enable autostart and the problem is fixed. You can now rotate your device in any direction. You can also lock it in any direction. And it is completely free and does not demand any special permissions.

Thanks SamuriHL!

This may be an easy question. Actually, I hope it is...

I want to sideload the 4.4 OTA zip and then get Root back after the update. How do I root the phone after I sideload the OTA? I already downloaded the s$_GPE_ROOT.zip file. Thanks in advance.

I do, but DON'T. It will brick your phone. My wife has one, too. She'll be waiting.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
The S4_GPE_ROOT has an older SuperSU zip file in it. Grab the latest one from chainfire as they've done updates for 4.4 recently. Just delete the one from the S4_GPE_ROOT directory and drop in the new one. The script will automagically pick it up. After that, just run the script and follow directions. That's all there is to it. Make sure you have Koush's ADB driver installed. It's included in the S4_GPE_ROOT zip.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] bleez99:
Here's what I've been doing, but I'm OCD about this.

Every OTA has to work for me, so, all three OTA zip files linked in the OP go on my external SD card.

Then I basically go back to 4.2.2 using a package I found here, I9505G_MFD_FULL.tar.md5, picked apart and placed in a heimdall script:

#/bin/sh

heimdall flash --RECOVERY recovery.img --BOOT boot.img --SYSTEM system.img.ext4 --MDM modem.bin --APNHLOS NON-HLOS.bin --no-reboot

The above just flashes the whole mess to MFD 4.2.2, including the baseband.

Now I am reasonably close to factory (the package mentioned above is rooted and busyboxed),

Then one at a time, I boot and apply the OTA Zip files. Today it led me to I9505GUEUCMKG Build KRT116S. Cool.

By the time you do the last OTA, there is no need to wipe or reset, of course, your mileage may vary. I just like to see each OTA zip file apply cleanly. Not feeling very well today, but if want me to elaborate on anything, just ask.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505G Android Development] SamuriHL:
