[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] RayTrue04:
Samsung phones in general always have better radio reception. I've had all Galaxy's from the 1-3 + Note 2 and all HTC's from the Evo, Evo 3d and Evo Lte. As far as reception they're pretty much on par on 3g. However in regards to 4g all my Samsung phones outshined the HTC phones. Back with WiMAX my S2 would always have one bar extra than the Evos or the Galaxy would get 4G while the HTC would be stuck on 3G, whether it was the GS1 vs the Evo 4G or the GS2 vs the 3D, the reception was always similar with Samsung on top. With my GS3 n Note 2 I would always have lte were my Evo Lte would only register 3G. Till this day my sister has my Evo Lte and she has yet to register 4G in places were I do with my Galaxy Note. Judging from all the reviews and customer feedback of the S4 and One nothing has pretty much changed. The One struggles with 4G just like the Evo Lte did while S4 always comes out on top in regards to reception, especially 4G lte. I honestly think its the different set up HTC uses. Their timers under the lte dialer codes are tweaked a bit differently for Lte.

After gaming on my G2 for a couple hours. (after reading a top ten android games thread) I found the home screen flickering. Kind of frustrating because all of the other pages were fine.

I had auto brightness OFF .

I turned it ON and then OFF and the flickering stopped.

I would love to know if anyone else sees this, and if toggling AutoBrightness ON/OFF fixes it for you as well.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youdug:
yes i have the same issue and so does a lot of others with this device.

i am going to flash PA later and see if it does it on that also.

thatll hopefully determine if its a software or hardware issue.

i have a couple issues with this device.

streaming music causes a screeching sound in my headphones that i dont get when i listen to music already on the device.

dual camera mode does not work for me either, at least with my stock cam app.

I Am Using Nexus S i9020 There Are Lots Of ROM Available So I Am Little Confuse Which ROM I Install.

i Want A ROM Without Any Lags

I Play Little Games And Use Viber And Whatsapp A Lot.

Please Suggest Me Good ROM. Thanks A Lot.

JZ054M, SLIM or HELLYBEAN 4.1.2, kitkat / cm11..

(4.2/4.3 Roms may start out lag-free, but get more laggy as time goes on unless you continue to clear up their clutter)

You can try out Kitkat AOSP ROM. I've been using it the past few days and it has given me great performance.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tylerholbrook:
Just wondering if anyone has jumped after tripping the knox counter or anyone confirm that the t mobile store won't check and that further down the road you won't get hit with a bill because you tripped it? I only have a few more months till I jump but with 4.3 out I'm sure there will be tempting ROMs to try out. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
I'm sure no one has. Knox has only been out for like a week for the S4. Store clerks probably don't even know what it is yet.

Though I'd say if they accept it at the store and give you a new phone, you're probably off the hook. I'm not a lawyer, but once they accept your phone back they have completed the transaction. I don't think they could come back later and say they won't honor the completed transaction.

You could say "Knox wasn't tripped when I gave it to you. If it was, the guy in the store wouldn't have accepted it." and what proof do they have otherwise? What proof is that that the device wasn't modified after you turned it in?

I assume the store clerk is responcible for checking out the device and making sure it works. If Knox is something they are cheacking for, then they will catch it. If its not, then it doesn't matter if it's tripped or not. They can't come back later after inspecting it and say they won't honor the deal.

That said, I don't think they'd care about Knox. The only thing they want your old phone for is to resell it as a refurbished device. When it gets refurbished, they will completely wipe the entire system and reinstall it all. So knox won't really matter.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] DigitalHeretic:
I'm not sure KNOX matters for Jump! because it's not a matter of warranty. Jump! is a program for getting new phones, not fixing or replacing existing phone because of defects/issues. I could very well be wrong though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Android_Monsters:
Yeah, I wouldn't worry. I exchanged my s4 couple weeks ago. Camera failure. I'd flashed like 100 times. All I did when it was time to send the phone in was install the stock ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] tylerholbrook:
When I exchanged my s3 because the screen burnt out t mobile told me I could do a free exchange and just send my phone in when the new one came, couple weeks later I got 150 added on my bill because the exchange center said it was somehow my fault the screen just stopped working. Rooted, but never dropped it, actually watched it slowly just fade out. Just don't want that to happen again, but I'm sure over a Knox counter they wouldn't do it, I just over analize crap.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] TheArtiszan:
As far as T-Mobile checking and warranty i highly doubt that it will be a problem.

I have even sent phones back with custom roms still on it.

And never got charged.

I doubt they even look.

Someone I talked too that worked with the warehouse said basically they reflash them and soon as they come in.

So I doubt they will even look at that.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] gypsy214:
I dought they will check for it but who knows if they are told to do so. I have insurance so my warranty exchage for tmobile is different than samsung. And jump as well will be different warranty than samsung. I had sent phone before with superuser in them. Never heard a word of them coming after me. But now that you gave me that idea I will ask some friends I have that works in stores and as tech support.

Edit. Just texted my friend from tech support. He said that tmobile tells them to check if the phone have the knox warranty void. But if the rep/ sales men dont check for it. Samsung might not pay tmobile back for a phone thats been modded so tmobile will bill you for the phone. He says that it's depends wether samsung will take it or not. So im not sure. I guess we have to wait until someone does it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] richardmkovach:
Seems like you could put up a fairly good fight. Their faq says it must pass a 3 point inspection, turns on, no cracked screen, and no water damage. I'm sure there is a more detailed agreement we signed for jump but print out the faq and show it to them when the time comes. That's what we agreed to and that's what they are beholden to.

[Moto G Themes and Apps] nandaota:
Guys,

I can only install the app outside google play to put the apk on google drive. I put the amazon app (app store) and managed to install.

But the Amazon offers a free app a day and I can not install on moto G. Anyone know how I could install the apps coming from the amazon app store?
[Moto G Themes and Apps] helinhof:
Do a factory reset. (settings - backup & reset - factory data reset)

then you'll be able to install sideloaded apks. (if i doesn't work repeat the process)
[Moto G Themes and Apps] renatoakamur:
I have the same problem using humble bundle app to download my games... i did the factory reset 5 or 6 times, do you think i need to try more times?
[Moto G Themes and Apps] helinhof:
Seems like everyone is having this problem, and the only definitive method found to fix it is doing factory resets, so maybe you should try a couple more times. (sou do Brasil tbm ^^)
[Moto G Themes and Apps] renatoakamur:
I've tried again a couple times and works...

// legal saber que tem mais gente aqui ;)
[Moto G Themes and Apps] shd_cheap_cigar:
Apparently you can get around this problem using Drive to install the APK's.

I now is a bit of a hassle but you can download the APK's with the Humble app, upload them to Drive and them install!

(Sou do Brasil also)
[Moto G Themes and Apps] renatoakamur:
I know about this workaround, but i don't think is a good choice download/upload/download a 300mb to play a game =/

As i said before, the issue was solved after 9/10 Factory Resets.. i dont know whats gone wrong before, i did the same process all the times...

// Valeu o toque, já ta funcionando 100%
[Moto G Themes and Apps] theoneofgod:
using "adb install file.apk" it's much quicker and saves Google forcing us to use Drive.
[Xperia Z1 Accessories] Avantiel:
These are from an Amazon prime seller. only 1 review. Its the only case I could find with a stand that seems sturdy and protects the phone well.

I saw some others on ebay with a similar design but im unsure how well the camera cut out is for the flash, as a friend of mine purchased this for his older Xperia Z: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AWJAJU0/ref=oh_details_o06_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1

And it got in the way of the flash. So i'd just like to know if anyone has the one in the first link, and if they would recommend it
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Accessories] Maverick777:
While impatiently waiting for my Poetic Slimline case to arrive I decided to go and pick up the Belkin Chambray case. Fry's has it for $39.99 instead of $44.99. It's pricey, but I like it better than the Origami case which I looked at while at Best Buy. It's not nearly as heavy as the Origami case.

Fit and finish is excellent. It doesn't have the wake/sleep feature the Poetic Slimline case and the Origami case has though. That may be a deal breaker for some.

At 8 ounces, it does add a noticeable amount of weight to the overall package and while I think Belkin made the case as slim as possible while keeping quality/durability high, the case does add a noticeably amount of thickness as well. That's not to say that I think the Slimline will be much thinner if at all. The HDX is just a ridiculously thin device without a case.

I'll wait until my Slimline case arrives to decide to keep it or not. I love the look of the case.

Ordered the 8.9 HDX today with Amazon's new deal of sorts. I have to agree with the looks on this case, it's very appealing. The wake to lock thingie will be missed, but it's really not to inconvenient to press the power button. Will have to check this case out next time I'm in a store. Thanks for the great pictures of it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] bobdob03:
Hi all,

I'm about to take the plunge and get one of these (assuming I can find one in the UK), but I just want to confirm if it has a proper GPS chip in it, or does it rely on data connection to track your location i.e. AGPS

My uncertainty is from looking at the specs on the Samsung Global site, where it says GPS/GLONASS, but the Samsung UK site says SGPS/ GLONASS. I've no idea what SGPS is (nor has Google) so I'm not sure if this a typo for GPS or AGPS.

I've scanned this forum as much as possible, but can't find any thing to confirm one way or the other, and none of the reviews I've read state it.

Many thanks for any info.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 (2014 Edition) Q&A, Help & Troubl] paulchambers061:
Yes, the gps works fine ... there's 2 electrical retailers here in the Uk that should have stock (Currys & John Lewis). Have a look on their web sites.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] EpicMango:
Currently on my AT&T S4, I am running Goldeneye 4.2.2

I am planning to wait till KitKat 4.4 versions of these ROM's come out before I even contemplate flashing. But here's my question.

I know that GoldenEye is TouchWiz and KangaBean is ASOP.

But what are the differences between the 2? The biggest question I have is that will my screen look the same on Kangabean because I heard that Touchwiz takes advantage of some proprietary software that makes the screen the way it is...

But besides that what are the differences? I'll tell you right now that I don't use a single Samsung gimmick like smart stay S beam, air view, none of that. However I DO use the Power Save feature.

All I am looking for is to run a ROM that will make my S4 as smooth as possible. Thanks :D

Maybe I should get the developer of both these ROM's to tell me as well lol? [MENTION=1380660]iB4STiD[/MENTION]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] scott14719:
Or maybe you can read the OPs of each Roms thread or maybe try each one for yourself to see if it is what you like?

Users are expected to try all roms to make their own independent determinations.

As these threads become arguments in time, this thread is closed.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] devros:
I've bought a BT dongle from Argos today - their 'own brand' model.

It's supposed to have a 100m range, but I can't get my XDA mini s to connect to it once I seem to move about 6-8 metres away.

I've got the PC in an upstairs room at the front of the house, but when I move to a downstairs room at the back, I lose the connection or ability to connect....

Is it down to the BT radio in the XDA having a 10m range, or should I get a better dongle?

Si.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] gadget_uk:
Just to confuse everyone there are different "classes" of bluetooth version 1 devices. Class 1 devices have 100M range but only when communicating to another Class 1 device. The Wizard is bluetooth 1.2 but only class 2 hence the reduced range or about 10M. Those ranges are optimistic anyway, perhaps if you were in a field with no other interference.....

I'm not sure if it's a hardware or software limit on the bluetooth class in the Wizard - there's a chance that class 1 can be unlocked in the same way as people have unlocked 802.11g wireless networking.... although I doubt it.

Bluetooth 2.0 is available now but I don't know what range limits it has or how backwards compatible it is.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] The S3 Kid:
Who else thinks this is the worst update ever?

Absolutely nothing changed, didn't even get any new wallpapers. Wtf Google? :confused:
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] laur3n.newm4n:
Care to share what monumental changes you were expecting? I see a lot of people disappointed by the update, but they don't voice what their expectations were.

You might do well to read the change log: http://developer.android.com/about/versions/kitkat.html. Obviously things like default SMS and translucent nav and status bars won't make it to the Nexus 7, but those weren't really big deal changes anyway. Bigger, useful changes happened under the hood. Lower system requirements and memory management improvements means 4.4 is lighter and leaner. Host Card Emulation means that things like Google Wallet are no longer reliant on a "secure element" in the device. The printing framework means any app can print any type of content using cloud printing, like Google Cloud Print. Immersive mode means nice changes for full screen apps.

Etc., etc. Just go take a look at that change log and come back and say that, "Absolutely nothing changed."
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] The S3 Kid:
All updates will probably be like this from now on because they have to cater for five year old devices.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Matrix_19:
Well, except for the loss of the flash plug-in.

I love this update

+ 25% battery life: my previous 7. 5 hours average is now 9-10.

-Another change is the ability to get the translucent bars (with Nova launcher beta)

- I had 2-3 random reboot per week (now it happened only once in the last 3 weeks)

- touchscreen improvement : no more sticky and ghost touch (even if the multi touch issue is still there)

You can argue that it's more bugs fixes and optimization than a big upgrade, it's true. But it's a big improvement for this tablet according to me.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] laur3n.newm4n:
Uh. What? They dropped support for the Galaxy Nexus, which is only 2 years old at this point. Technically they would have supported it still if TI had updated their chipset drivers, but it is still hardly a 5 year old device. They only officially support the Nexus 4 (1 year old) and the Nexus 7 2012 (1 year and a bit old). If manufacturers like Samsung or HTC choose to support legacy devices, that's their thing, not Google. Google provides the source. Samsung, HTC, and Moto are only supporting their more recent lineups too.

Maybe do some research before you start spouting off on the Internet.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lucaurso:
I'm not happy with that update for other reasons: No sms support (stock) and my vpn stopped working (known bug). I'm reflashing 4.3.1 right now.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] oldblue910:
Are you for real? All you're essentially complaining about is the fact that there is no visual changes. The reason there aren't many visual changes is because they didn't include the Google Experience Launcher that debuted on the Nexus 5. I would direct you here for some perspective: http://www.randomphantasmagoria.com/can-we-all-just-shut-up-about-the-google-experience-launcher/

Also, people, translucent status bars are available on EVERY NEXUS DEVICE EXCEPT THE NEXUS 10 (due to graphics driver issues). The thing is, the app has to specifically request the translucent bar. The reason the translucent bars don't show up on the home screens is because the other Nexus devices don't include the Google Experience Launcher. The GEL requests translucent bars. The legacy launcher does not. If you want translucent status bars on the home screen, sideload the Google Experience Launcher. Done.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] NovaSlim:
My favorite part of this update is the Immersion mode for Reading Ebooks & the new 4.4 default Email App.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] godutch:
I think kitkat is one of the most exciting releases since ice cream sandwich but most changes are indeed under the hood and not officially ready yet, like ART but kitkat is an awesome start for a new future for Android.

Nova launcher and action launcher beta have translucent ness... If you're looking for some see through goodness

Or side load GEL. It's what I'm running on my nexus 7...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] laur3n.newm4n:
I can't comment on the VPN issues, but why is no SMS support on the NEXUS 7 TABLET a reason to dislike the update? It's a tablet. You have a data plan on it, not a talk and text plan. No tablets have SMS support out of the box. There are mods, etc. that you can use to get SMS support.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] oldblue910:
Amen. This is the product of the entitlement people feel toward this stuff. Ugh.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] lucaurso:
we are talking about the UPDATE.

4.3 -> SMS

4.4 -> NO SMS

That's the point. I lost something after the update.

Did SMS support come stock, standard, out of box with 4.3, or did you have to add support yourself?
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] Deathman20:
Yup this update sucks.

- It's faster

- More battery life

[Nexus 7 (2013) General] ridgrnr:
I don't know about worst, but I wish I hadn't updated. Battery is not a big issue with me as I mainly use it at home where I can keep it charged. The printing option is nice but not something that I can't live without. I haven't noticed any increased speed. I am stock so my issues apply to non power users who just want a first rate tablet without having to mod it, which it was before the update:

1. Browsers doesn't automatically fit text to screen like 4.3 did. I now have to double tap.

2. There is a slight stick/lag in browser when scrolling. Before it was smooth as butter.

3. To prevent major lag/freeze, I've had to cut off location services.

4. Touchscreen is sometimes non responsive, particularly the app drawer button. I use Apex (to hide non used apps) but it doesn't seem to be Apex as it also happens with the stock launcher. The only way to get it working again is by clearing default.

5. Not major but I liked the blue status bar icons in 4.3 better than the white.

6. I liked the 4.3 email app better.

7. Loss of flash. I know flash is obsolete, but there are still many websites that still use it and I liked the option of using my preferred video player as opposed to being forced to HTML5.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] JASN_DE:
I somewhat doubt it. My N7 LTE came with 4.3 and the "reduced" SMS function. It can receive SMS, same as in 4.4, but i had to install a SMS app to send them. Apart from testing i never used it to send SMS. It's a bloody tablet...
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] picrthis:
I had the opposite effect, sitting "idle" for 4 hours the battery is drained down to %20, google services was @ 74%, re-booting didn't solve it. Sitting idle with 4.3 it last 5 full days; lastly I really, really liked the way the Staus icon would be blue for secured network, and white for unsecured network, showed up/down too and would turn grayish when your connected but not repsonding....and the blue stood out just enough to catch your eye so that you could tell at a glance what is going on. I dumped KitCrap and went back to 4.3

---------- Post added at 02:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:03 PM ----------

What makes it a bloody tablet? I never had that issue with mine; 4.3 runs like a champ.
[Nexus 7 (2013) General] laur3n.newm4n:
Exactly. The person I was replying to was all in a tizzy because 4.4 removed his mod he was using for SMS, I believe, and that was a reason he's saying the update sucked. Any update would have removed SMS.
