[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arnemetis:
Hello everyone,I'll start with some quick background. I finally updated my S4 from ME7 to MK2, and rooted it using saferoot. For a while, I haven't been able to update samsung apps, such as s health. I figured it was related to me being behind, but now it doesn't appear so.

Samsung App store just doesn't work for me. No matter if i try to update an existing app, or get any new app, when I click the free button (which I presume installs and/or updates the app), the app dims and there is a spinning circle in the middle of the screen. I see this same circle when loading new parts of the app store for the first time, so it is certainly indicating something is loading. I have even tried gettign a small game that was only 1MB and let it sit for 20 minutes, came back and it was still spinning. I updated the app by going to samsungapps.com in the browser, I tried clearing the cache or the data of the app, nothing seems to work.

S Voice/TTS - Upon firing up S voice, I was greeted with a very unpleasant robotic voice I had never heard before. Going into my language settings, I find it is using the samsung regular english us voice, not the high quality one. If I go to install voice data, and sample english (united states), it's the voice I'm used to! unfortunately it wants me to download the voice file, which is in Samsung Apps. Which doesn't work. Oddly, if I fire up google maps and have the navigation start taking me somewhere, it's using the proper voice! So that must mean I still have the voice file somewhere on the phone!

TL;DR

Samsung App Store hangs when trying to install/update any app

Samsung high quality TTS voice gone from s voice, yet still in use in maps/nav

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nolethemole:
Sorry to hear about your problem. If I understand correctly, you went to the Samsung website and tried to update the app? Here is the download link for Samsung apps application. I would re-install the Samsung Apps application and try to install the voice file.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arnemetis:
Hi nolethemole, thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, that did not help. i tried re installing, but it didn't work at first. I went into app manager, and uninstalled updates (can't remove it), and then I was able to install the file again. I followed your link, even though that's where I got it before, I figured maybe the download was bad. I am thinking perhaps something is left over from before the update. The update installed optical reader too, but upon firing it up it says it needs additional files, which of course, it can't download from the app store. I hate it, but I'm going to have to do a 100% wipe and reflash the full update. If that doesn't do it I guess I'll be returning it to Verizon as defective. Too many problems with this phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nolethemole:
Try clearing your cache and data. Then, remove your samsung account then add it again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] arnemetis:
Well I tried clearing data and cache, before you mentioned it and after, to no avail. As far as I can tell, there's no way to remove the samsung account. I gave up and did the full flash, phone is like new now. I'm starting the high quality download, and it's actually working. Something wonky must have carried over with the no wipe option for the update. Oh well, in the future I'll know to always do a full wipe.

so i now tried flashing cyanogen mod and it works, but i want to go back to stock rom.

i havent found a RUU yet.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raghav kapur:
Why don't you install a Sense-based custom ROM like ARHD instead of completely returning to stock. Unless your intention is to claim warranty, I frankly see no advantage of RUU-ing your phone, considering that you're already on CWM and bootloader unlocked
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] etsch:
because i want a stock rom.

now i have the phone s-off.

i changed my CID to HTC__102 (before it was VODAP102)

i flashed a stock rom from htc1guru and it works. but on the installation it was called a vodafone rom( i downloaded a non branded rom).

now i have the problem i cant update the software. now i have Android 4.2.2 but i want 4.4.2

if i check for updates i got 3 updates (Softeware Update,Software Update und HTC Sync Manger) bot software Updates are only for bugfixes

Alternatively you can Odin the official tar file right now..

I want to buy a G2 but the Verizon G2 has a different design from all the G2s (different buttons on the back, different speaker grill layout, ugly verizon logo on the top of the screen), is it possible to use it on verizon's network? Not straight talk, just the regular verizon network. And I'm automatically assuming the GSM versions of the G2 do not work on verizon as well. Thanks for all answers
[Verizon LG G2] rastaguy:
In theory it should work if you get it you get it unlocked.
[Verizon LG G2] Esteway.619:
No u can't. Verizon will never activate the phone.
[Verizon LG G2] abhinav.tella:
US CDMA carriers only allow a white list of phones, meaning basically only imei's/ESNs sold specifically for them. If you are in another country like India, they (carriers) will generally allow you to use US phones on their CMDA network.
[Verizon LG G2] GeneGozar:
As far as I know, as long as you have your phone unlocked, you can use it with other provider. Try to call your carrier and try to call Verizon too.
[G2 General] tell4ever:
yeah definitely,, thats an option but may be you could. but i'd go with the second one

I don't know if this has been discussed, but I am not getting the same battery performance (longevity) that i was getting prior to this upgrade.

I don't overclock. Is this specific to the rom???
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] chop69:
Are you using Direct Push? That will kill your battery life.

no i am not using direct push, but i am getting my mail every 5 minutes.

I'm surprised everyone else is fine
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading] summiter:
Re: no direct push

Contrary to what logic might infer, using DP as opposed to scheduled syncing has improved my battery life. I suspect it's because there is less data actually transfered on a regular basis by the DP heartbeat as opposed to scheduled syncing.
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] foxorroxors:
Got one of those m-hdmi to normal HDMI adapters, it works great but I was wondering if the tn7 can out put higher than the 1280x800 the notes screen is to the TV? Or does it just detect and output the highest Res any way? Also does anyone know how to make the image fit the whole screen? I've got bars on the sides and top/bottom. First time I've used a tabs HDMI out =/
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] rchrdcrg:
At the moment, you'll only get 1080p output if you watch a 1080p video. I was really hoping they were going to add Console Mode with full 1080p output with the 4.4 update, but alas... nope!

As for the image not fitting the TV, the tablet's display is actually 16:10 at 1280x800 and not 16:9 at 1280x720, so the image doesn't quite fit. It's kinda stupid since even my old Acer A500 tablet had a 16:10 screen but adjusted the output to fit 16:9. Long story short, though, is that it is what it is, and there's not really anything that can be done besides hoping and waiting for Nvidia to iron it out (or for a dev to fix it with a custom ROM some day).
[Nvidia Tegra Note 7] Ouzo:
If you don't want the bars on either side of the screen, you need to roll back to the original 4.2.2 firmware. Using that firmware, if you use a movie player like MX Player, when a film is playing, pinch to 'zoom' in on the film. As you do so the the edge of the film will disappear off the edge of the tablet's screen, but it will zoom in to fit the edges of the TV's screen, if you see what I mean. You will also find playback under 4.2 much smoother, whereas now you may experience micro stutters as though the movie is dropping frames or running at less than 24fps. If you search for Tegra Note Connectivity you'll find a thread I made with more info. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2566828

Sadly 4.3 and 4.4 broke this rather cool zooming feature.

[Moto X General] overthatscreen:
So I'm almost done with my first 30 days with the Moto X and I have stumbled across some flaws.

1. Dust behind the glass. I found two small dust particles while installing a cheap screen protector. Removed the protector and its still there.

2. The screen doesn't sit flush. When swiping my hand to the left, i can feel a lip. Swipe to the right and there's no lip until I run my fingers down towards the bottom right corner.

3. There's a fiber out of place and it catches my finger when running my hand across the Woven White back.

So in other words I'm considering returning it to be fixed. I may be a jerk, but I paid good money for it and expect the same in return. Anyone else go this route for flaws on their Moto X? What's the usual turn around time?
[Moto X General] Solutions Etcetera:
Mine has none of those flaws. By all means return it. But for refund, not repair. Then just order a new one.
[Moto X General] overthatscreen:
I though about the refund route, but I got it at $100 off that one week and i don't want to pay the extra $30.
[Moto X General] Solutions Etcetera:
Tell them that, and politely insist on the same deal on the new order. Ask for escalation if you must. They'll get it squared away for you.
[Moto X General] overthatscreen:
Well I'll try the repair route first to see how things turn out and how fast their turn around time is. Its suppose to go through more inspections before coming back to me, but we'll see about that. I'll ask for the refund if it's not perfect this time around.
[Moto X General] Solutions Etcetera:
Sounds like the repair will take you outside the return period.
[Moto X General] DonKilluminati23:
Has anyone had their phone repaired? I don't have another device to use other than an iPhone (eww) so I don't know if I'll bother if it takes an extended amount of time..
[Moto X General] rvinny:
I tried this route (returned a def. X for a refund because at the time I thought I would switch to the N5 but have since decided to stick with the X). I asked for another $100 off code (or $30 depending on how you look at it) and they wouldn't budge. They said they can only honor what is currently on the web site. Went through two reps on this.

Guess I am getting the N5 after all.
[Moto X General] Solutions Etcetera:
Was your negotiation with them at the time you arranged for the return or after the fact?

I was one of the original 150 off cyber Monday buyers, and when I spoke to them about a return I mentioned this and they made arrangements to offer the same pricing on a replacement order.
[Moto X General] creamies:
I have returned many devices with motorola and am in the process of returning another one. Currently they only do Advanced returns, meaning that they give you a code to build another phone for zero money up front. If they receive the returned phone within 10 days of you getting your new phone, then they wont charge you. If its past 10 days, they will charge you.
[Moto X General] overthatscreen:
They offered me the same advanced order initially. Just that now I want to go case-less and need a perfectly smooth back. Since its there, might as well swap out the screen due to a piece of lint and not being flush. As for the 30 day return period... I'm sure they'll OK it if I change my mind. Its not my fault there's something wrong with the phone. If all else fails, switching to Nexus 5 or GPE HTC One because I hate the Galaxy S4.

I have to say though, it is nice jumping back onto the old Galaxy Nexus with CM11.
[Moto X General] murso74:
I have the same bezel flaw and I wish I had gotten it taken care of when I got the phone
[Moto X General] overthatscreen:
So I finally got my phone back yesterday. At first glance they didn't fix anything. I still have debris behind the screen, barely noticeable. Still have the defects on the back cover. So naturally I called, as I have been all last week, and spoke directly with the Repair Call Center Manager on Duty and he is sending out a new Moto X because of my problems with the phone. On top of that, because of all the BS I dealt with last week, I got a bunch of other free stuff altogether. First off, they gave a free Commuter case the first week I had the phone. Called back and complained about their horrible repair lead time and misinformation and got a Power Pack 3000. Called the day my phone was to be shipped out and got a free Bluetooth Car Speaker. Called yesterday because I didn't get my Moto X Retail Box back even though I was promised I would and I got a free Motorola Buds Bluetooth Headset.

So yeah, I made them pay for their overall poor Customer Service. I explained to the manager that I was not about to put my funds on hold for their mistakes and that I wanted to know who was going to take full responsibility for the actions that have occurred. I stood my ground and made them sorry for treating me that way. Hence I ended up with about $214 of free stuff.

If I don't get my new phone by Thursday, hell will break loose again, this time I won't hold back.

And just for the record, they don't know if anyone has already offered you a free accessory, hence they offered the Power Pack twice.

[Moto X General] overthatscreen:
Of course it's teaching them a lesson. I paid a fair price for a phone that should have came in a better condition than that. If it was to be fair, they should've allowed me to use the flawed Bitcoin payment in exchange for the phone.

But if you're up for paying for an item only to receive it with flaws that's you're own choice. I have a few junk cars that you might be interested in.

And from a real consumers point of view. I don't mind paying good money for a good product. But if you think I would let you pull a fast one on me, you are in for a world of hurt.

And by the way, you may have already paid the price by not standing up for yourself and allowing companies to push you around to make a profit. I'm just not gullible enough to allow that. I was just hoping to help anyone else who has had a fast one pulled on them.

I actually don't return items too often unless it doesn't work as suggested. But if you like being ripped off, by all means go for it.
[Moto X General] _MetalHead_:
You and I share the same philosophy. If I pay good money (or any money) for a product, it better be FLAWLESS otherwise you bet your a$$ I'm going to raise hell and keep exchanging until I get what I want. I went through 5 HTC One X's in a 2 week period just trying to get a flawless one. Went through 4 Nexus 7s as well. The whole argument about people like you and I driving costs up is ridiculous and without any merit- if anything it's beneficial to everyone else because it lets manufacturers know that they are releasing defective products and they can't get away with it, and in a perfect world ultimately resulting in stricter quality control. People who are OK with keeping defective products are the ones who hurt the industry.
[Moto X General] overthatscreen:
You are correct on all levels. These other guys don't know what its like. Pay with your own money, not your mom's, and you will see the light.

Me identifying the defects in the product allows the manufacturer to fix the issues on the work line. It allows for a better product and less defective products that in turn create loyal and happy customers.

But hey, if these other guys like bending over... Go ahead and bend over. I would rather be the guy giving it than taking it in the rear. No pain, no gain right?

I went through 4 Palm Pre's before finding one without dead pixels.

[Sony Xperia L] GuestK0058:
1) Seems like a driver problem, there are lots of conflicts between Windows 8 and fastboot/adb drivers

2) You need Xposed Framework in order to use Gravitybox

GravityBox needs Root and Xposed Framework to work.

And about the driver, if you are using Windows 8 (:p) you need to disable the driver signature to install them. On Windows 7 (lol) works like a charm. :highfive:
