[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ceevee94:
Hi guys,

I've been a long time reader on the xda forums but I couldn't find an answer to this problem I have. I apologise if it has been answered before.

I have a Telstra branded Galaxy s4 mini (I9195T) with TEL as the CSC which I'd like to 'unbrand' so that I can remove the carrier bloatware without rooting.

From what I understand, if I can change the CSC to XSA then the carrier bloatware will be removed while carrier reception should be unaffected.

From what I've read here, (unable to link) it seems that all I need to do is find a XSA CSC and use odin to flash it. Would this work for the GS4 mini? If so could someone provide me a link to where I could find it?

Alternatively, I understand that if I root my device and then flash the XSA Firmware from sammobile.com I could achieve the same result, however I'd rather not root my device because I'm still not too confident about it.

Thanks for any help guys!

Second of all i too had a same idea of building a rom without samsung apps.

And if you theme your rom which will make it unique then your rom is a hit. :thumbup:

See how multi tasking works n Thanx TecX18

I have tried almost every grand custom ROM in this forum but i hvn't seen eliminate multi tasking problem n to handle couple of apps with high cpu usage.

best example is when i was trying to restore my apps using App Backup & Restore, phone ws hanged and it took few minutes to come back to normal state.

So if this ROM shows any sign of lag/hang free multi tasking it would be great.

it is still downloading and will tested n gv you a feedback.

Thanx TecX18 for this amazing ROM since there is no plenty of Dev in this section to fulfill our desires :D

There are plenty of opportunities that technology has made our lives better. The development of the computer and programs that allow us to automate and speed up our lives with a set of instructions written by one single person to be reused by many. This is inclusive of the search function. It is an extremely advanced technology.

A SINGLE Search on XDA Developers for a SINGLE word "ads" give me a list of results. The FIRST result is an Xposed Module.

The next search on Google for a "how to block ads on android" (which is the exact same as your thread subject in addition to "on android") give me another list of results. The FIRST result is an article on HongKiat that gives you STEP BY STEP GUIDE on how to do that.

Please note that I'm only talking about the FIRST result, which is limited, scrolling down (which takes 3 seconds of your time) would present you more results.

Now that I have answered your question, I have to tell you to use the search function. It's an automated program to save you time using XDA Developer's advance server technology.

I have a rooted Xperia E(C1504) with locked bootloader and I've swapped my internal and external SD card. I want to unlock my bootloader and flash a custom recovery but I'm afraid that the swapping of the sd cards could mess up the process. I can't seem it revert it either...

What do I do now?

And btw, which custom ROM have you guys flashed on your Xperia E?

Thanks

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] BudgieUK:
Guys.. I love my Exec, but one facility that seems to be very low quality is the camera. If I hold the Exec next to my SPV M2000 and compare the look of the viewfinder image on the screen, the SPV looks so much better ... is this normal, or is there something wrong with the cam?

I'd appreciate your toughts
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Carnivor:
compare actual pictures, this spun me out, but after actually taking pictures, and comparing them on a pc, the exec is actually quite good, for 1.3m the viewfinder dosent do the pics justice at all

and the panoramic option is wicked, here's an example of a 3 picture panoramic
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] vijay555:
Carnivor: isn't that the first level of Quake? I'm sure if you pan down a bit there's some lava and platform jumps :)

Looks good - I've never used my Universal's camera (well, other than the flash!). Will have to give it a go.

large 640x480

does this mean i have 2mp camera, or just 1mp camera that pretends its 2mp :?

JASJAR IMEI Range

Dear All,

Can someone give me the IMEI range for the IMate Jasjar? I have just bought one and when I tried to register it the IMate site says the number was not valid. I then contacted support and they said the same thing.

I had the same problem reistering my PDA2k with Imate.

Thanks in advance.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cuteangelika:
I've used my camera on several occasions. Sometimes, it's ok, sometimes, the quality just makes me shake my head. What's the best camera settings? Any advice?

thanks!

p.s. joey, on the 2m thing. I read somewhere that it's just 2m extrapolated resolution... i suppose that means it's not real...

copied this from Earner's forum:

it's not true megapixels. I mean, the extra pixels aren't data, they are extrapolated.

Say you have pixels like this

█████

The hack would ASSUME there is a natural blend in there and then extrapilate accordingly. ie:

█████

This "extra" pixel isn't recorded data, but it appears that your camera is a higher megapixel.

I switched from the Z1 to the LG G2 because my WiFi strenght was weak, and this is after having two different units. Can anyone confirm if the upgrade to 4.3 has changed this?

My G2 has full bars in throughout my entire house, the Z1 disconnected and was often very low, I want to get the z1 back but want to make sure they fixed this problem.

Thanks.
[Xperia Z1 General] c312eal:
Wifi seems stronger. In my back yard I used to get one bar. Now it's 3

Sent from my C6906
[Xperia Z1 General] yanbee:
I've got stronger wifi too. Before I had 1-2 bars in my room, now I have 4, sometimes 3 bars
[Xperia Z1 General] guddu2011:
yes. it used to be 1 bar on 4.2.2, after 4.3 update its full showing
[Xperia Z1 General] marc_ecko28:
I never had wifi issues eversince...
[Xperia Z1 General] feddexx69:
Stronger

Definitely better WiFi, on 4.2.2 I used to get 1 bar max on my room, now I get get 2-3 most of the time without drops in signal.
[Xperia Z1 General] ThePav:
For me the bars used to be 0-1 with no drop outs now it's showing 1-2 and I'm lucky to be able to load anything. I now need full bars so it has a stable connection.
[Xperia Z1 General] TheCraig:
Before I had a three-antenna NetGear router and got no bars in my room, but now I have full bars, and three about 10 meters up the garden. Definitely improved. I actually thought my phone was dodgy but it has better reception than my Galaxy S3 now.
[Xperia Z1 General] fjevel:
Same here as with others; much better reception after the update. Used to see no to one bar in my bedroom, now I have one to two bars.

-KJ
[Xperia Z1 General] El.Guaje:
WiFi is stronger but Mobile signal is bad (lost mobile signal, have turn my phone off then on and everything is fine, didnt experice this on 4.2.2)
[Xperia Z1 General] crk1995:
I feel actual wifi strength is same.

Its just they changed the UI value to show more signals.

A bit of fooling going on maybe.

I dont see a point that an increase in 2 bars is legit.
[Xperia Z1 General] guddu2011:
sorry bro, strenght has improved atleast for me..

i never used to catch my cousin's wifi on 4.2.2 but after this update i can easily connect to his network and there are 1-2 bars showing

and for my own wifi, used to get only 1 bar before and now its full :D

loving this update :cool:
[Xperia Z1 General] meliusvitam:
I agreed with that :). It gets stronger.
[Xperia Z1 General] ArashMiniStar:
It's a good news.waiting for 4.3 OTA...:)
[Xperia Z1 General] hasona:
It is not a hoax and I can actually approve that.

Using inSSIDer and the dbm showed a significant decrease in interference with no movement in any furniture or networks around. It has been pretty consistent on what it was before 4.3(85dbm on my 5Ghz band) and now it is at 65dbm which is a lot closer with my laptop which is on 51dbm

So there is definitely a wifi boost in this release at least for me.
[Xperia Z1 General] sufeng:
I can confirm that the wifi signal is strong. With 4.2.2 i never got wifi at my restroom. Now i got 2-3 bars. Als the camera in superior automode is fantastic.

Do you like z1 better than g2?
[Xperia Z1 General] aksmzk:
noticed a huge difference, showing full to 3 bars consistently now :good:
[Xperia Z1 General] 4mynikka:
In all honesty the screen, software, battery, one hand use, camera were all better on the g2, but I really like the solid feel and build quality of the z1 so I'm debating on what to do, should be a no brainer and just keep the g2 but the feel and quality of the z1 is just that good. At least for me.
[Xperia Z1 General] dazza7111:
Totally agree coming from s4 is the same and stopping me getting note 3. I love picking up and holding this phone.
[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
Is there any way to get the unlock swipes which are featured on the G2 onto the Z1.

One kind of swipe takes you to guest account, another takes you to your account.
[Xperia Z1 General] afgkhaibar:
Same here. Wifi strenght increased and i have even a better phone signal.:good:
[Xperia Z1 General] babylonbwoy:
I don't remember where I have read it (it was a while ago) but if I remember someone from Sony said that the bar number wasn't really accurate and that it doesn't reflect real signal strenght. I often had only two/three bar but with no issue at all, connexion was good, no signal drop.

Since 4.3 I have more bars but it is exactly the same, just UI change I guess

[Android Stick & Console Computers General] petesimon:
launchers...

Can you please describe this problem further? When I search for home screens or launchers in google play store, I get 2 or 3 that seem good for display on televisions such as this one "TVLauncher". Is this what you are talking about?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awe.dev.pro.tv&hl=en

YouTube leanback... Utorrent...

I'm not sure if apps in one android device can control another android device the way you want... Maybe if the control device runs the app, while the other device to be controlled runs a browser in 'desktop' mode (not Chrome) and browses to an appropriate web address such as youtube.com/leanback or remote.utorrent.com but this seems awkward. So basically I recommend to try a remote control app that is designed for android-to-android control, such as "Tablet Remote".

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tournesol.tabletremote&hl=en

Whatever happens, I recommend to opt-in for HTML5 player in youtube.com/html5 so as to minimize use of Flash player. Otherwise, install Flash player app on all android devices that will play youtube and other online videos.

Cheers.
