[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MattMJB0188:
I have been flashing custom roms since e GS2 and I loved it. Never had to do a difficult root method, you just flashed Cwm and that was it. Now that Samsung is trying to prevent that with Knox and ATT locking the bootloaders, what's the point anymore? Far more devices will be bricked under locked bootloaders, versus unlocked bootloaders.

When I get my arctic blue i337 I think I'll just leave it stock and then I won't have to worry about warranty issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] aw1974:
I had MJ9 and it made my S4 the best stock phone I've ever used. No lag using Apex and battery life was ridiculous. Even crossed the 6 hour screen on time mark. Was hesitant to update to MK2 but my OCD got the best of me last night. No difference that I notice from MJ9. My signal is lower with both but hasn't affected data speeds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] norbarb:
I did not see lag since MF3 update.. Now looks better. For signal and performance I will give 8.5-9 of 10
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Youngbloodx:
More bricked devices doesn't matter a damn to them in the short term. As long as they've already taken your money from the purchase.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] tosh1:
8/10.. Occasional lag but nothing big. Could even be 9/10. No complaints
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jpcdeux:
Anyone else notice random vibrations? Not the usual phantom vibrations you think you feel in your pocket but actual random vibrations while it's just sitting or your're using it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MattMJB0188:
So the signal isn't as good as MF3? How is the headphone volume on the latest update? Does it go nice and loud? I have found the Note 3 does not have loud headphone volume.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jpcdeux:
Idk why but I turn all animations off, they turned themselves back on to 1x! :mad::mad::mad::mad:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] jdivince:
I was on MJ9 (got it early OTA before they halted) and got a 28Mb "mini" upgrade OTA to go to MK2. So far I see no issues, and it cleared up some of the bugs I had with MJ9, like security messages popping up whenever I toggled WIFI. Seems very smooth on nova. Maybe not that noticable vs MF3 which I thought was pretty smooth already, but this seems quicker imho. 9/10. I'm not sure but also it seems like the camera is autofocusing more quickly now at anything i point to before I press any buttons.

Headphone volume seems fine -- watched a video working out and no issues with volume. I didn't crank it all the way tho, so I don't know if it goes louder than before. No random vibrations. No bugs I've encountered. I'll report back if I notice anything else.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] aycockonxion:
It sucks compared to 4.2.2. I'm noticing increased lag and other substantial errors / fails compared to 4.2.2. Side note, does anyone know of a root that doesn't involve an external Micro SD card?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] duboisbrian:
or a root that doesnt void warranty!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] aycockonxion:
Rooting by itself does not void the warranty. But, if you install a custom recovery and/or a custom ROM, you will change the binary counter which will technically void your warranty. You can unroot and re-install the stock firmware if you have a warranty issue. However, virtually no US cell carriers check the binary counter before accepting a warranty claim, and once they are sent to Samsung they're disassembled anyway. It's a risk you take, but honestly not a huge risk.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] El Jefe Cangri:
The battery life is no where near as good as 4.2.2, at least for me I charge my phone to 100% unplug it over night and after 8 hours it's at 88% that's ridiculous. Otherwise than that, it's way smoother.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Z51:
Downloading the update as I type this. Tired of flashing roms. Gonna debloat and re root the new version...... MF3 was good to me, but OCD kicks in and the new version is getting installed haha. Will post back results.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MHB1638:
I got a new replacement phone from ATT last week. I decided to stay stock and take the OTA. In all serious, my phone is ridiculously stupid with battery sippage. I am getting 16+ hours with normal usuage and not even dropping below 50%. IDK what's in 4.3, but my battery loves it! This is a stock phone with stock battery. I also Kingoroot the MK2 and disabled stupid programs/bloatware. So far my phone is absolutely amazing. Just sips the battery now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] brandostick:
Greetings, I am interested in upgrading to 4.3, but my phone says I have the latest version available. My rom is the FM3, anyone has idea how to solve this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] rbedell:
Don't double post. It's MF3. Provide more information such as rooted, or Safestrap. Read before you expect someone to solve your problems. If you are stock everything then just call ATT. Some ppl have had success with them manually pushing the update, and yes they can do it now that it is official with the patched MK2. Someone posted about it a while back.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] brandostick:
Sorry. i have performed the same question in the appropriate place. As for calling AT & T, I can not. I am writing from Venezuela. I restored my phone flashing with odin firmware FM3. It was recently taken as box. But do not take the upgrade
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Z51:
OK I updated to MK2 and so far I get ZERO lag and it feels snappier and less cluttered. Rooted it and lightly debloated it. All is well. Love my blue S4

TapaTalked From My Arctic Blue S4 :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Whizzpopper:
Well, it still has TouchWiz, so it's still pretty ugly. :D Definitely better battery life. I spent the good part of the day getting it set up - that means screen on, quite a bit of wifi usage etc. - and still had 37% left at 8 p.m. The camera was a bit weird starting up for the first time. The screen was black for about a minute and then the camera went into crazy focus mode for couple of seconds, but it's been okay since then.

I think that it has even more bloat than MF3 though. It's awful. I've frozen 67 apps and deleted 6 or 7. There are around 4 more that I need to understand before I freeze (and eventually delete). That is insane.

Why is bloat legal? If AT&T and Samsung installed their apps as user apps leaving the ordinary user the option of deleting them without root and only installed essential apps in the system folder, I wouldn't have such a low opinion of both companies. But pegging release worthiness of whether the user has removed their rubbish is just a joke... I guess they're promoting creativity, eh? Look at all the ways people have found of getting around their fortress walls!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] hovax615@hotmail.com:
I use to get that on mj6 but the only time I get it now is when xda FC's or phone calls, text messages and emails that don't get read or cleared.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] NickS_:
I honestly feel like the phone is slower than my old LG OG at times, on the stock ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] d-rail:
MK2 is ok. The 'transition animation scale' resetting to 1x after I open the camera is what kills it for me. Keeping all the scales at 0x and Nova at 'faster than light' has always been my go-to settings. I'm now looking for a script I can schedule to run every hour to reset that scale so I don't have to do it manually.......
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] khha4113:
Battery is worse than 4.2. Its performance is about the same as old version.

sent from Samsung Galaxy S4
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MattMJB0188:
It still surprises me that Samsung released the S4 which such poor software. On the original firmware MDB I think it is, everything lagged and stuttered. It made a lot of people question whether or not it was hardware or software. Many people wanted to throw their nice new Galaxy S4's against a brick wall (I know I did lol). I still don't understand why they can't properly optimize their freaking UI. Its so bad, its almost embarrassing.

I have played with an AT&T branded i337 running 4.3 and its the same awful experience that is only locked down even more. There is even occasional lag on some of the polished 4.3 roms. Developers can't fix Samsung's mistakes. Its pathetic.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] azuziel:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] electricpete1:
I had the phone for all of two days before updating.

I didn't notice any major changes.

It seems perhaps battery a little better although I may be mistaken (I may have been using my phone more those first two days).

Two things I didn't like:

1 - Data quick-toggle is gone. Since I have limited plan, I thought it was great to be able to stash it right next to my wifi quick toggle and I could tell not only if it was on but also if it was enabled (while wifi on it can be enabled without transmitting data). There are some widgets that do similar but it is an important thing for me and I like it on the notification quick toggle instead of the homescreen. Apparently AT&T/Samsung consider it is more important that we have instead quick toggles for such non-essential frills as: air view, air gesture, hands-free mode, smart stay, smart pause, smart scroll, reading mode, s-beam, screen mirroring... seriously????

2 - Every time I turn on Wifi I get a security message from Knox, even though I didn't activate knox. Tried to disable all the Knox related apps and couldnt'. Tried clearing their data... just helped for a little while. wtfo. I'm not rooted. I skimmed Scott's thread... seems geared toward people that want to use Knox, not remove it.

I also got an "sd card corrupted" error shorty after updating. Data is not recoverable. But I had moved the sd card from an older Infuse phone shortly before and never reformatted...probably my fault there.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] :
4.3 gave me extremely worse battery life, but im thinking about restoring my phone and just starting fresh to see if it fixes
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MattMJB0188:
Well I couldn't be happier on my original MDL firmware with no extra security added to my bootloader. Rather flash a 4.3 custom rom. :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] TurboRZR:
MF3 was running fine for me, with root and de boat, however I wanted ANT+ support. Didn't feel a huge difference performance wise on MK2, but standby battery life is definitely better! I'm enjoying it, no major problems. I love having ANT+ !

Scrolling as in scrolling in the xda app is sluggish in mk2 att Other apps too. I dont remember this in prior version.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Amb669:
i'm using Canadian i337m S4 on OTA 4.3, mk6 firmware and performance is not near as smooth as 4.2.2, battery drain is also alot worse than 4.2.2 (especially while idle, used to get 3.5+ hours idle per 1% after 4.3 it's dropped to around 2.75 hours per 1%) factory reset helped alot but my phone is still garbage compared to before, since Samsung SCREWED us into this firmware and trying sooooo hard to lock us on this garbage this will be the last Samsung device I buy, i'll purchase my next phone off a company that doesn't have such stupid intentions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] crazymax1:
They don't want you to know you're almost over your data; that doesn't make them money. For me personally, 4.3 was the worst thing I did to this phone. I REALLY wish I crawled XDA and found out about Knox. Nothing came up in my Google search about 4.3, so I loaded it up. The only positive thing about Knox is that it brought me here.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RHBH:
Hello all!

I saw that Xperia Z owners got LTE working when they flashed Xperia ZL baseband on their devices... So I was thinking about:

LTE Bands for C6903 & C6943: 800 / 850 / 900 / 1700 / 1800 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600

LTE Bands for C6906: 700 / 850 / 900/ 1700 / 1900 / 2100 / 2600

My country (Brazil) have LTE working at 2600MHz on great cities, but roads and small cities will get 700MHz LTE (less expensive... bigger distance between cell sites and all that technical stuff).

I own a C6943, if I flash the baseband of C6906 on my Xperia Z1 will LTE works on both 700MHz and 2600MHz?
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teamHTC:
will someone help us with this? im too scared to flash the entire ftf onto the phone i have a c6903 i need the c6906 for at&t capabilities. I flashed just the baseband and nothing happened. i think you need the full ftf for any type of action really..i just dont want to mess up my phone right now its important to me
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
You can try it, but the physical modem may not be capable of (or calibrated for) the other frequencies.

It's safe to flash full FTFs - unless you interrupt it or let the battery die, the worst thing that will happen is a soft brick, which you can fix by re-flashing a working FTF. I have read about some people doing the opposite (accidentally flashing 6903 onto 6906, or 6902 onto 6903) and they only lost some channels or 4G, but were able to flash back.

This is a new device, you're probably just going to have to experiment.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teamHTC:
i would really love to experiment, I just dont want to loose all my data and root :? there is no generic version of .534 for the c6906 which is exactly what I need to keep root and all my mods.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xasbo:
Since you have root, you can TiBu or use recovery to make a complete backup, mess around, then restore when you're done. Guess it'll come down to how much you want LTE :)

I have a C6906 and I've been looking for a generic 534 - it doesn't exist and probably never will. I've only seen the Rogers 534. Since 534, you can uninstall all their bloat anyway, good as you'll get.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raginginferno:
I wouldn't worry about ftf breaking your phone if you flash the wrong version. I've mixed baseband with other region ftf before with my xperia ion. In order for lte to work, I need to keep the Rogers/North American baseband on my rogers xperia ion, but I flashed a generic nordic ftf (kernel and system only) in order to get jelly bean. Combination of best of both worlds.

The reason why the Z works with the ZL baseband is because both phones support 2600 and Rogers has the 2600 frequency but for whatever reason needs the setting from the the North American baseband for everything to work correctly. There must be something slightly different with international 2600 and north american 2600. I doubt 700 will work since the c6943 doesn't support it. Also dont forget (at least up here in Canada) you need both a LTE sim card and possibly new lte APN settings for LTE to work.

I dont think you need full ftf flash either... otherwise how would my xperia ion combo work? :P Also its running cyanogenmod at the moment... cyanogenmod is kernel and system only (it doesn't touch baseband). As long as you have the lte sim and correct lte apn it should just work.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slayer2333:
Quick question about your idea, i want to flash a custom rom on my Z1 (the rom is 6903 based whereas my z1 is 6906). I already did and Lte works but signal is at least 2bars weaker than with 6906 rom. So what i can do is to flash a 6906 Tft, then flash over the 6903 rom while excluding baseband (to keep correct modem drivers/modules)?

Thanks for your feedback.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RHBH:
The true test would me someone flashing the C6906 baseband on C6903 and test if 700MHz LTE is working or not. I can't test it because here in my country 700MHz LTE isn't deployed yet.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CSL00:
I did that and got better LTE speeds (average 33.5 Mb) than on the standard C6943 or C6903 (17-25 Mb) FTFs.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RHBH:
The speed is relative, as I said, the TRUE test is make a C6903 or C6943 work on 700MHz LTE, which my country (Brazil) don't have (yet).
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CSL00:
I understood that, just said that despite the "correct" and "tested" C6943 ajusts the C6906 baseband works better. I also live in Brazil and I know we won't see the 700 mhz band anytime soon as they'll only be auctioning it later this year.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RHBH:
True story. And most manufactures seems to be neglecting the fact that Brazil will have 4G at 700MHz in less than 2 years (in the current rhythm), I can't see even one LTE phone on Brazil that works on 700MHz and 2600MHz.

There are phones that works on both bands (like C6906 or D6503 from Sony, Asian version of HTC One (M8), one version of Lumia 1520), but these models aren't the models sold on Brazil.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CSL00:
Yeah, I've got my eyes on the HTC One (M8) if for some reason the Z1 stops being good enough, but getting the asian model won't be so easy as the us or europe variants would be. If I'm not mistaken the only phone sold in Brazil that sported the 700Mhz band was the iPhone 5 and that only served to make people whine about no (local) 4G in the device lifespan.
[Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] souzaf:

Hello. I've noticed there's no torch in quick settings. I think it maye be fixed by adding:

in:

https://github.com/Badadroid/android_device_samsung_wave/blob/cm-10.2/overlay/packages/apps/Settings/res/values/config.xml

but i'm not sure (cm-10.1 had this line and torch was in there, as u can see)

https://github.com/Badadroid/android_device_samsung_wave/blob/cm-10.1/overlay/packages/apps/Settings/res/values/config.xml

i can't find anything that could change it in rom .zip package so i think it will be just information for future roms.

[Android Development on Bada] gonghwa:
I referred to this Q&A

Badadroid is stuck in animation with rotating circle where Cyanogenmod is written in

It happens if you don't comply with installation requirements. Enter Bada Settings->General->Memory and make sure you have at least:

370MB of free "System" memory

150MB of free "User" memory

400MB of free "Applications" memory

Solution: make a clean installation of bada: full flash

Related XDA posts: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39859136#post39859136

and after I checked the phone the answer is yes, I have less memory than required. After a full flash I got no luck to get v3 running. I guess it is related with the kernel because if I change kernel to v2.1's it can flash the v3 zip and later show some progress during the rolling circle. If I use kernel in v3 zip it just can't mount sdcard0 as others. That's all I can provide.
