[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] SuFuCru:
I picked one up today at Radio Shack after having the speaker grille issue with the Otterbox Preserver after a week of use. To me this case is a mix of the Preserver and the Lifeproof Frē.

I've already placed a few calls and have had no issue with the call clarity at all. People have heard me fine and I've been able to hear them.

I like the tempered glass and the fact it doesn't have the mesh over the speaker grilles like the Preserver. What I don't like so much is how the ports are latched closed. I did the water test for 30 mins and it passed without a drop of moisture getting inside. It feels like it latches securely around the phone, but I do notice the blue gap around the volume rocker and power button. I wish it latched like the Preserver does. That thing feels like it would take a bomb blast before coming apart.

All in all, I'm happy with it. I like the looks of it better than the sorta plain looking Seidio Obex. I don't see why this case gets all the 1 star ratings on Amazon for sound quality.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] elesbb:
How do the buttons work for menu and back? On my seidio i have troubles sometimes, but i have gotten used to it now though.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] SuFuCru:
The menu and back buttons work just fine. I really do love the tempered glass protector. I have noticed more of the gap with the phone in the case not closing firmly. I can actually run my fingernail through it and pry the case up easily. If the phone dropped, I'm sure the case would come undone. If it didn't have the gap and closed firmly, this would be a great case.

Otterbox already has my replacement Preserver in the mail. I might hang onto both for a bit and see if the mesh on the Preserver rips again.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] elesbb:
Hmm, i really love the Seidio. I have two of them. Thought the first one was defective but it wasnt, so they sent me another free of charge (still have both). I really like it, VERY durable. 100 percent waterproof. I love when i spill stuff on it i literally wash it lol. No sound quality issues either. Just the button thing but its not like its unusable.

Thanks for the feedback :)

Incipio Atlas S4 Case Black/Pink $30 at Paydeals

I bought the Incipio Atlas S4 case at paydeals for $26 dollars after entering promo code (paydeals). I beleive that was the promo code for a discount. The promo code is for first time users.

I have the same gap that others talk about with the blue seal exposed around the edge. I tested it under water and it worked. Really like the case but i can't compare to others.

Note: careful prying the case open as the tempered glass can crack if the wrong pressure is applied. I am able to open the case easier by prying the center and pushing the release buttons then working around the bottom. Just beware... and don't put too much force opening it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] :
I have a Obex for a year now, and I'm very happy with it. At first, I had to trick sound with viper4android to have the best possible sound due to a bit of distortion, but now it's fine. The only problem I had is the plastic that handles the charger cover cut itself with daily opening.

So I'll give a try to a Atlas to compare.

So i switched over to Tmobile this month and i'm struggling getting the 4GLTE data speeds. I did the APN settings trick and i really cant do much more that i know of. IM on the stock 4.3 ATT firmware and rooted using the Kingo method. I tried to install Safestrat 3.65 but i can get it working.. I could just install a Tmobile ROM if i could use a custom recovery but i havent found a way to do it without a softbrick. I've got less than 5Mbps down so thats crap..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Tmo, is not known for really good LTE speeds or coverage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lojak29:
Incorrect T-Mobile when using a tmobile branded device has very strong lte speeds.

Yes the coverage can be spotty at times ... rarely!

The problem when using AT&T phone with T Mobile SIM cards is that the lte bands are always compatible.

The AT&T s4 does Carry four LTE bands I use it and get great LTE signal with tmobile service. ...only with the AT&T s4 for instance if you use an AT&T note 2 or s3 with T Mobile service it is really bad.

The reason behind The weak or dropped lte isnt really so much for about the bands it is actually how the device is tuned to work with that carriers service.

To get safestrap recovery working download the AT&T s4 safestrap recovery and install it. Just like in apk file just click install .

Everytime you power off or reboot the phone it will first come to safestrap screen then you choose to boot into recovery or continue to boot into the normal operating system by choosing the very bottom left menu button for recovery or the far right button to boot into the phone normal system .

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Atrix2destroyer:
Yeah I already tried to use Safestrap knowing it may not be compatible. I even used wanam to set my phone into SeLinux permissive mode. The only thing i can think to try is to download the tmobile 4.3 firmware from sammobile but they keep saying their in a transition to a different download server and the firmware hasn't been moved yet.. anyone have the 4.3 tmobile firmware tar and modem for ODin? It should work because they are both same phone just modified through firmware. That would also give me wifi calling and some other good stuff :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] graydiggy:
Do not use T-Mobile stock firmware. The modem and kernel will not work and you will not be able to flash the correct stuff. The firmwares are not the same.

Plus, the bootloaders are different so it won't flash anyways
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Atrix2destroyer:
Yeah i tried anyway but my phone worked fine after, no data loss or anything. It didnt go to the tmobile firmware though unfortunately. I need to get to a tmobile ROM though and this restriction is killing me. HAs anyone found a working recovery for 4.3? Or is safe strap developing for it?

I have a Bluespoon AX and AX2 which I just bought. I have almost given up on this phone as it is my second unit.

Right my problem is I tend to get huge amounts of static, Its like snap crakle and pop lol. When I have the phone close and i.e line of sight It is very good but if I move away a few feet it is terrible.I know it is not the unit as it is paired with a K750i and a old Nokia 7610 and it is perfect with both phones. Do any of you have problems with your Bluetooth headsets?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] The Doctor:
I had exactly the same problems with an AX2 and nothing I did seemed to solve them. I returned it and got a Jabra JX10 which works perfectly and also has DSP which helps cut down on the wind noise that plagues the AXs...

Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear!

Not a single reply? That's brutal. Well the code is ALL WRONG.

Here is the answer. I had to immerse myself and force my brain to make sense of the information.

if file_getprop("/tmp/aroma/modem.prop","selected.1") == "1"
then
ui_print("@ Flashing LJ1");
package_extract_file("Modem/modem LJ1/flash_image", "/tmp/flash_image");
set_perm(0, 0, 0777, "/tmp/flash_image");
assert(package_extract_file("Modem/modem LJ1/modem.bin", "/tmp/modem.bin"),
run_program("/tmp/flash_image", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p10", "/tmp/modem.bin"),
delete("/tmp/modem.bin"));
delete("/tmp/flash_image");

Sorry I did aroma for one of my EVO 3d builds and could have helped. Unfortunately with all the stupid repetitive questions about mk4 and updating that could have been answered by a simple Google search this got buried in them.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Well basically, you now have a ROM that doesn't run of the bootloaders that you have.

You'll have to find a way in download mode (jig or key combo) and then flash stock GB (KK4) with bootloaders using Odin. ****This can't be interrupted!****

From there, you should be good to move to whatever you want but please, make sure you fully know and understand what you're doing before going through with it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Val D.:
I think he flashed a wrong kernel only. No download mode may be a broken button or usb issue.

Looks like jig + one-click KK4 with bootloaders is the best thing to try indeed. DIY jig is easy to make.

First of all i installed a lot of ROMS on one x and 4-5 on lg g2.

I had installed Rayglobe 3.2 custom rom. Today system asked me do i want to update the system so i did. Taught its Rayglobe update but it could be LG update. And it just went to recovery without doing anything.

Reboot to system option still goes to recovery again. Strange its like its holding this data or rule for some reason somewhere else.

I wiped cache,system,data, dalvik and install the rom from beggining. it again goes back to recovery after installing system.

I mean there should be warning how to differentiate OTA updates from system and for custom rom. I hope i didnt brick my phone.

Hello guys, I need some help! My GT-P3113 which is running stock 4.1.1 rooted, has a problem with WiFi. I checked the modem, network settings but nothing happened. So I wiped data and cache with C.W.M. I booted up succesfully on 4.1.1 (from the beginning), and I followed the usual process:

Choose your country - date and time - add Samsung account (I skipped it) - add Gmail account (ERROR,ERROR,ERROR).

So I thought that I have to flash a custom ROM in order to get my tablet fixed.(not to mention that custom ROMS are better than stocks). I thought of CM 10.2 but I noticed that for GT-P31XX devices, everyone is flashing a nightly and not a stable release of 10.2 .

[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] babyshanks:
Don't worry about what screen protector you get (except the real rubbery ones/wet apps) whether it be tempered glass or pet when it comes to the s-pen. Get the one you want, try the s-pen out and if it's too sticky replace the tip with the plastic tips included with your phone. The one that's installed out of the box is the rubber tip so it'll stick to pet more and function better with tg. The plastic tip slid easily on both. Personally I liked the rubber on tg because the resistance reminds me of actually writing with a pencil.

You have to look very carefully at the tip of the replacements and you should see a difference between some of them. I believe 3 rubber ones and 2 plastic ones are included in the replacement tips.

My personal recommendation (I've tried the spigen tr, spigen ultraclear pet, 8 dollar ebay TG, and Nillkin H+) is the Nillkin H+ which is about $16 if I remember correctly. Perfect tempered glass screen protector and the price is significantly lower than spigen and iloome(except flex).

Edit: and you shouldn't worry about using increased sensitivity or anything, I personally haven't heard of a case where the screen protector has caused issues.
[Galaxy Note 3 Accessories] vadimo:
