Yes there was a mistake in their brochure offering an Exec for 99 and a Mini-s for ?79.

Along with the silly price people were taking out the data 5 as standalone, meaning overall still cheaper than buying the phone outright.

So, they stopped it around the 10th-15th Jan I think.

I posted about it over in the Universal forums as I had the misfortune to do it on the day they terminated it (although I got an Exec out of em on the day it all started).

Lowest tariff was about 18 a month when I looked last.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] danasht:
Hey,

I'm fairly new to this scene and i have the Canadian (Bell) Galaxy S4.

Today I rooted with Chainfire's CF-Auto-Root and saw that I can't boot into my stock recovery anymore.

Would reflashing stock firmware through ODIN bring my phone back to factory settings with a working stock recovery?

I think I want to hold off on rooting and playing with ROMs for a while till I'm more comfortable.

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] rob_pasq:
Yes it will. Or, through Odin, you can install a custom recovery like twrp, or philz recovery and use those. But if you want stock recovery back, just reflash the stock firmware.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] freddylao:
Hi All experts,

May I know, currently I own a C6802 Z Ultra. If I flash the C6833 TFT file on it, would it turn into C6833 with LTE enable?

Please help if someone has tried this before.

Many thanks. :good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
Nope.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] boterkaaseneieren:
If I wary women's underwear, do I turn in to a woman? Nope
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
Maybe. I have C6802, recently flashed C6833 FTF and now everything about it seems like C6833.

There is an option to turn on LTE, I have yet to check if it works (I am stuck in a country with no LTE). I would know after new years...

Since the SoC is the same variant in 6833 (msm8974) as C6802, there should be no difference hardware-wise.

Maybe there is difference in antenna, but if I had to guess, I doubt it.

---------- Post added at 02:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:53 PM ----------

Have you tried already? Or you read somewhere?

There was a discussion a long time ago in this forum about whether this was possible, but we never reached a conclusion since C6833 FTF files werent available back then
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] warfareonly:
Yes. To the former.

India has TDD LTE, BTW. You may want to try in Europe or someplace else.

[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] freddylao:
Thank you very much for your reply.

I will check back the Soc model adn do a test. Currently my city doesn't have LTE provider as well. Will know the result later on but still it worth a trial as you have proved to me that the firmware of C6833 can be used on C6802.

:laugh::good::good:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Feodorus 4PDA:
At C6802 phone with the set drain firmware from C6833 LTE won't work. It is checked. 100%. In settings there will be LTE icon, but to sense from it won't be. On C6802 phones with the identical MCM8974 processor, there is no LTE module, programmatically not to solve it.

In the presence of communication of LTE there is no opportunity to set only LTE.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
The C6802 is also known as the XL39h. However the external design for all variants of the XZU are identical. So often 3rd party's will say that this case fits the XL39h or screen protector for the XL39h.

But the C6806/C6833/C6843 are not the same internally as the XL39h. This (XL39h) base model was modified/upgraded to the now LTE variants. There is no way to suddenly have the LTE capability on a C6802
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] jewelkobayashi:
OK, I think I understand what you are saying... I have no reasons to doubt, but one question...

SnapDragon 800 series have many models, and the model with LTE radio is MSM 8974.

MSM 8274 is the model which is 3g (HSPA+) only.

I am just saying, that I find it curious Qualcomm will deliver to Sony a specially modified msm8974 with LTE disabled, when there is msm8274 available.

---------- Post added at 06:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:15 PM ----------

Hi hamdogg,

If you happen to have any links to show that the internals of C6802 is different to the LTE enabled brothers, I would appreciate it. :good:

Just like the OP, I am still quietly optimistic that the day I go back home for the holidays (Tokyo) I can enjoy LTE for the duration!

Until I see something saying otherwise, I just cannot give up on the idea that they are cross compatible.

When I try to think it through logically, many things do not add up... For example, to fit a differing model of antenna in a frame and everything else that is identical in dimensions and specs(between 6802 and 6833) is hard to believe. If the SoC, firmware and (my guess) the antenna are the same, there are no reasons why it cannot operate at LTE. My C6802 has identical firmware and hardware now (I say again, maybe antenna different, but strongly doubt)

IF the antenna differs a LOT in cost terms, maybe Sony is justified in differentiating the models, and thus charging more for the LTE models. But then again, I doubt that too... which would mean it would have been simpler to keep number of models offered fewer. Unless, that is, it was a cunning move by Sony to justify staggered roll out to different markets (thus negating the need to increase factory output capacity) and at the same time charge more for LTE models like C6833 from uses in developed nations where LTE happened to be spread anyway.

After all, LTE models are just as capable of utilising HSPA+, right?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
Well it's unfortunately not just software trick but it is a hardware with some fuse blown off. So even you flash the c6833 there's no way to get the LTE. It is fuse blown off case.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hamdogg:
Here we have the Sky77629 signal amplifier. Its a multimode, multiband module inside both the Z1 and ZU.

It emits frequencies known as:

Quad-Band GSM/EDGE –

Hexa-Band (I, II, III, IV, V, VIII)

WCDMA / HSDPA / HSUPA / HSPA+ / LTE

The C6802 model does not have this chip. It has the SKY77340. So will

not

emit hexa-band frequency.

So despite the SOC having a modem for cellular communication on-die, the devices still require a separate module to amplify the signal... So internally the 3G and 4G models are different.

As far as the antenna is concerned there are two RF cables that run parallel on both sides of the device. This should enable a stable signal.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
Go here and you can use framaroot app for instant root without CWM recovery for any version of i9000 or flash the semaphore Gingerbread kernel to get root as well as CWM recovery If you want to use CF root kernel, you need to provide more details as its based on ROM version, not kernel version.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
yes, this will root and give you CWM recovery, after that you need to follow the guide to upgrade, first to CM 9 ( just boot once and you can continue to upgarde further after that), following the guide and than to CM 10 and CM 11 if you like, its all a step by step process,

immportant,

make nandroid backup of your current ROM

makes sure your battery is fully charged

read and read again before flashing, step by step.

Sir i tried rooting the phone with semaphore it got stuck into the boot image.... The i again went to samsung service centre and the repaired the phone..... Any idea why it happened??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xsenman:
First, the people who visit XDA, do not want to visit the service center ever, that's why XDA is a well known site, so IF you took your phone to the service center because you got a boot loop means,

1) you have not understood what you read

2) you have NOT explore this site and threads

3) you are not willing to read and research

4) you are shy and frightened to ask questions and directions.

Sadly, that is not what I would expect from an Indian national , who are known for their thriftiness and knowledge.

so please take your time to understand what you read., so many members and non members have used it and NO one I know of have gone to service center, because of bootloop when flashing a kernel. . In fact there is a guide in that link , called My Android solutions , which teaches you how to solve some 30 over problems including bootloops.

This link I gave earlier has every detail one needs to recover their phone even in worse case scenarios, so it was just a matter of understanding that you seem to be missing. What seems to be the problem is your notion that you must use an Indian ROM ( its not the case) you only need a modem that is meant for Indian networks. which can be flashed and changed at anytime. when you use ICS , jelly Bean or kit kat (custom ROM's) there is no such thing as Indian ROM, only samsung firmwares have ROM's released for Indian market.

So, when you have a boot loop ( that cannot be solved) you can use the gingerbread JVU ROM to boot and for Indian network flash the modem meant for india and your phone will work as it did

So in your case read this for best Indian modem ( that you can use) which can be flashed with any samsung Stock ROM , so here just flash the JVU ROM and CWM kernel to update your phone to ICS > JB > Kit Kat

good luck. and do explore all the links, you can only gain more knowledge.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] APOORVAMOONAT:

HaloShortcuts

Coincidently, there's another HaloShortcuts by [MENTION=4611477]MainstreamStereotype[/MENTION] that is similar to this one. :silly:

His has an additional feature and that is the ability to choose Activities within an App.

Please check his out also :good:

What?

A shortcut selector to add a shortcut in floating mode on homescreen or for apps that uses shortcut selector.

It adds a shortcut with the intent flag 0x00002000.

For?

For ROMs that make use of the intent flag 0x00002000.

Examples include Paranoid Android ROMs with Halo.

(This might work with OmniROM's MultiWindow but I need someone to confirm before I write it down. )

When using your app it causes a launcher redraw when opening an app hope this can be fixed it's a useful app thanks
[Android Apps and Games] zst123:
This app only makes shortcuts with the halo flag. It doesn't affect the launcher. It has probably been redrawing ALL the time but you only notice it now since it is floating and not fullscreen.
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
I never get redraws this app actually crashes my launcher so it has to restart and I only get this issue with this app
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
Is it the actual running of the app itself, or the launch of a halo shortcut created by this app... that is causing the redraw? What Launcher do you have and rom?
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
It happens when I launch an app from the shortcut I create with this app I use the sense 5 launcher on a HTC one x thanks for replying it's viper x Rom 4.0.6
[Android Apps and Games] themadproducer:
@smeejaytee

First thing I would try is downloading an alternative free launcher eg Go Launcher. Install, and do a quick test to see if a new Halo shortcut causes the same issue. Should take 5 minutes. Then if you still have the issue, then it's probably rom related. BTW, do you have any other rom features enabled that might be interfering? (eg Multi Window or something like that)
[Android Apps and Games] smeejaytee:
No nothing that would interfere although the room is heavily modded but floatifications works fine and open halo from notification also works I do get an occasional fc though had that problem since version 2.0 of xhalo appsi also works ok I don't really want a different launcher because of BlinkFeed but for trying purposes Ill try thanks for replying
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
Is it possible to update this app to create shortcuts that point to "Shortcuts" in Android as well instead of just app shortcuts?

You know, the screen when u long press on the launcher and you get this page to create direct shortcuts to contacts, bookmarks, gmail labels etc.

Because it would be handy to create shortcuts that link to specific functions inside apps instead of having to launch the apps in windows mode and then navigating to the required functions i.e. shortcut to a specific whatsapp contact, specific settings screen.

Do consider it, or if anyone has a solution do let me know, thanks!

I posted this twice on Disqus on the XDA News Commenting but somehow it didn't show (internet failure?) and I'm typing this again.

I'm really lazy to retype, so in short, I created this in Sept in my XHFW thread in this post's attachments

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=45669212&postcount=476

A few weeks ago, I improved it and posted it in this thread. However, a recently I saw this post on Google+

https://plus.google.com/117734680838440546478/posts/cbXCgnjTAwj

where Matthias Bidlingmeyer had created a similar app with similar name. That is is better than mine in the sense that it has the ability to choose individual activity for the chosen app. It coincidently was posted a few days before my thread was opened. I didnt't know it existed and of course didn't copy it. I hope this would clear things up before the "you copied me" fight starts. If I had known it existed, wouldn't you think I would also implement individual activity support? The other dev does deserve credit. This is purely just a coincidence (sadly)...

[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
It's not better if it doesn't do shortcuts. :) Seriously, how many here understand what each activity in each app does?
[Android Apps and Games] zst123:
It has to do with the way the plugin handles the created shortcut. So I can't really help you in this

There is only one flag that is added and that is the halo flag. What flag are you trying to check? :confused:

Haha.. Nice plan to accumulate thanks :p

See the attachments for a screenshot of his app. For example you could create a shortcut to go directly to the WifiSettings instead of the main Settings page when you have to do one extra step. An Activity is the proper Android term for a "page" (not really a page but I can't think of a better word)
[Android Apps and Games] Darkened_Sky:
i tried now both apps. they are great, but there is on eproblem in both. for example when I open settings in halo mode and then press a section in settings app (for example wifi) then it opens it in fullscreen. the same happens for all other apps. I think the halo flag is not set for new activities inside of one app

Edit: ok seems to be a kitkat problem. even with hallo))) the same occur. on android 4.3 halo))) worked fine. so nevermind :)
[Android Apps and Games] zst123:
That is got to do with the halo functionality of your ROM and not this app that's causing that bug.
[Android Apps and Games] kenkiller:
Seriously, I tried his app before asking you (posted the same question to him as well in his), there's still no way to add a shortcut to a contact in whatsapp because when creating those shortcuts, whatsapp actually opens up to let me choose which contact should be the one that I want. Whereas in his app, all I get are links to activities (or pages as you put it) that opens up to specific screens within the app, but never to specific conversations. :(

That's just one case scenario, please consider adding shortcuts support. PLEASE?!?!?! :(
