You're asking a few different things and I'm only going to address updating your firmware. First, once you're sim unlocked it should remain so to upgrade your firmware I'd head over to sammobile.com and download the 4.4.2 package for your phone(sgh-i337m) Then I'd flash that in Odin

Yes, I went into root explorer and found the Touchwiz.apk or whatever and deleted it and tried to replace it with the S5 launcher but that didn't work.

Launchers aren't the same as Roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
You'll either have to find a touchwiz.apk and reinstall it or flash the firmware in Odin.

Edit, read the third to last post in this thread where I've given instructions to flash your firmware. But from sammobile.com get the nc1 firmware for your device, sgh-i337m http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=51676880

Hi. Maybe someone has had the same experience and can help me. Recently I tried watching one of my purchased Play Store movies. I can not get it or any others to play. Either they do not play at all, I get an error with random numbers, or they play for 9 seconds then freeze. When they freeze at 9 seconds, the sound start making scratchy notices then it will loop back to 0 seconds and start over.

This is just on my Galaxy S3. Works fine on my Nexus 7. Also if I use my Galaxy S3 to stream to my ChromeCast it works fine.

I have looked online and xda for info and have found a few others cases, but no fixes. I have uninstalled and reinstalled Play Movies. Cleared cache and data from Play Movies and others system apps. Remove/disabled any mods. Hid root. I'm currently on Wicked Sensations MK3, but it used to work on it. But just to check I have also flashed other ROMs including a Stock Rooted MK3. Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas. Maybe I will go back to a MD4 ROM and see if it helps.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chris_toffer:
Hi,

my Atrix is behaving strange lately, but i just don't want to let go my old lady... so anyone has any idea re. root-cause of the problem?

situation

i got aware that the touchscreen had stopped working for a particular row, next to the volume control buttons. for me, it's been clear: hardware failure.

i wanted to see the symptoms in detail, hence installed a diagnostic app to check the touchscreen and identify the "dead zone" properly.

SCREENSHOT #1

but

when playing around, in the endeavor to paint all my screen blue, swiftly swiping my finger across the touchscreen. after a while, the phone's reactions became sluggish, and the home/back buttons would not bring me back to my home screen. so i switched the dialogs off and on again (power button). and the home/back buttons returned to work fine.

BUT

to my utmost surprise, the touchscreen problem had gone!! no more dead areas in the touchscreen!

SCREENSHOT #2

only after a while, the problem returns and the very same row is dead again regarding touch inputs.

Amazing! and this is fully reproducible! it's necessary for the app to react sluggishly (which is only randomly achieved), and the home/back buttons to stop working, to temporarily 'heal' the touchscreen.

So it's not a hardware, but software problem?

what's your opinion?

BTW, I am running a rooted stock release, european version, atrix 4g.

cheers

chris

There are no screenshots in your post.

Also, there are plenty enough threads about this, was yet another one really necessary?

Problem Cause - Solution Approaches

OK, sorry. What's the solution: 1 - 2 - 3 below?

1) Sounds reasonable - bad contact in a connector:

Emerging Hardware Issue: Touch Screen Dead Zones

2) This does not help a lot. Seems only for custom ROMs:

touchscreen is off only at the bottom of the screen

3) That's not very helpful - there's no description what the idea behind this mod is.

Hey people

my mini USB became dislodged a while back, I pursued the problem - I was sworn at, I was lied to, I was made to go through useless paperwork their website chat programs are down most of the time and even when u do connect u have to endure a person who cant even grasp the basics of English.

I don’t like it when innocent people get hurt by corporate greed, They are still trying the same tune with everyone all over the world, Despite in my case when they replaced it. If they recognise it in one case they should recognise all cases!

Attached is a receipt with the fault, the replacement under warranty, my old imei and my new imei. It even has my personal information so hopefully should stand up in most courts around the world if need be.

I hope this helps

btw- I gave this a new topic status so it would turn up in most topic searches easily.

Hi,

Is there an app or a method to put BlueZ bluetooth stack in KitKat, specifically CM11 ROM? I want to connect DualShock 4.
[One (M8) Accessories] Supacat:
What do you think? I know that we are basically trading functionality for retro coolness with some usefulness. Taking a picture in landscape stinks but I was willing to live with it as it is the first case I ever used that actually is useful.

The one ish I am having that I wanted to check with others on is when I open the case it always turns on the device. However, I cant say the same is consistent on closing it. It seems like the magnet might not be strong enough or the lid heavy enough but it requires me at times to press on where the magnet is to shut off the device. I think this might be due to the lid getting a little misshaped when its flipped behind when reading. I would prefer not having to think about it and when the case is closed the device always will turn off.
[One (M8) Accessories] Electronic Punk:
Not losing any functionality as far as I know, when I close the cover on my current case its just off.

Dot case arrives tuesday :D
[One (M8) Accessories] Supacat:
So you have one or it arrives Tuesday? :)

Loss of functionality statement refers to the same thing that happens to all phones with this flip style case. It makes it more difficult to take landscape pictures and one handed use. Like said ok with giving that up just want the case to work. Just trying to find out if I had a dud. Guess I will find out once more people get them.
[One (M8) Accessories] Electronic Punk:
Well I have the standard flip case that has a magnet that turns the device on and off, pretty sure thats still in the flipcase.

My dot case arrives tuesday and I am far too excited about that.
[One (M8) Accessories] Supacat:
As I was when BestBuy said it was there for me to pick up. They said that that was the only one they got. Don't understand why they made so few. It does look beautiful!
[One (M8) Accessories] faded03cobra:
I like the dot case, but not for everyday use. I just put a zagg glass on my phone and now the dot case will not close all the way.
[One (M8) Accessories] agarp:
I am using the dot view case and I dont have the issue you mentioned. My phones display goes off when the cover touches the screen.

The manual of the dot view case states that ticker screen protectors might affect the dot view cases finger gesture abilities.

PS I do not have a screen protector on mine yet
[One (M8) Accessories] Crazypinoy9:
I have a nilkin tempered glass protector on mine and gestures with the dot case haven't been affected.
[One (M8) Accessories] 59fifty1:
I love mine! I wish that you could control music with the cover on it. That's my only gripe. I like to use my phone as a music player at work to make my day go by a little quicker. I wonder if that's possible with an update....
[One (M8) Accessories] Electronic Punk:
Bah, case just got delayed a week, seems they completely underestimated the demand.
[One (M8) Accessories] GermanGuy:
I had it for a day, then returned it. It does not protect the right side at all and in my opinion it is just a gimmick. Wait a little while until lint starts plugging the holes and then it will be just an ordinary flip case.
[One (M8) Accessories] mcampos7:
Well, knowing Verizon an update will arrive aprox 720 days from now. I'd really enjoy an update that makes the day go by a little quicker, since we have s-off now can we use one from another carrier? haha I have the case. Love it. First case that has actually provided screen protection. I usually throw zaggs on all my phones but i find they affect the smoothness of swiping. Just going to use the dotview and forgo the zagg.

Keep me posted on that update though!

Damn, they have been showing a date of 1st May so I ignored them, ah well, I have waited 2 weeks I can wait another ;)
[One (M8) Accessories] v1rk:
Yeh that annoyed me, so never bother checking it until it came at the door today
[One (M8) Accessories] henderjr:
One thing that's annoyed me about this case is you have to use the default HTC SMS app for the SMS notification icon to display. But that app sucks as it doesn't automatically turn your phone on when you have an SMS which I prefer. Sucks it doesn't have a popup but that's a separate issue. Anyway my solution to this is to use Tasker and the Secure Settings plugin. For incoming SMS call a task that uses Secure Settings screen on option. This didn't work right for me with my EVO LTE when I tried (screen wouldn't turn off) but this worked right away. And since the case is closed the screen on command shows the dot view sms notification.

Hopefully either HTC or some other developer expands the use of the case with a hack to the app or maybe a custom application.
[One (M8) Accessories] Supacat:
Thanks for the update so hopefully its a dud case and not the sensor in the phone that's messed up:(
[One (M8) Accessories] bakemcbride21:
Had mine for two weeks now...I like it...obviously it could be better but the utility I get out of it and the fact that it does look pretty cool is good enough for me. I never have used a case or screen protector before on my thunderbolt or DNA so I have no basis of comparison and there's obviously cases out there that protect the phone better...but I live by the adage..don't drop your phone!

As for increased functionality with the dot view case...if it's possible it could happen quickly as htc is updating these apps in the play store..HTC dot view, tv, etc so they don't have to go through Verizon testing as part of an OTA.

As for the lint build up..I imagine a quick spray from a can of compressed air will take care of that!
[One (M8) Accessories] klbjr:
Been loving mine so far. No problems what yet. Doesn't offer much protection against falls/drops but that's the trade off I guess. It's a cool looking case.You might want to try buying in the Verizon store. I called around locally and found one that had them in stock. and was only $44.99.
[One (M8) Accessories] Kmac_thp:
I've been looking all over for one and have struck out each time. Are the verizon stores the only brick and mortar stores that seem to have them?
[One (M8) Accessories] NJGSII:
My thoughts-

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=51627377&postcount=10

Agree with this. HTC does have the app in the play store so I'm sure they'll issue an update to improve it's functionality. It's early on in its life.
[One (M8) Accessories] Rudimente:
on the HTC-site declares that dot view cases will delivered in May
[One (M8) Accessories] kennonk:

[One (M8) Accessories] Kmac_thp:
I noticed the Dot View app got updated either yesterday or today. Anything new or improved?

I just put my One down on top of my iPad mini and the dot view screen turned on. That was pretty cool to see but I havent been able to make it happen again.

Hey there. Could I be cheeky and ask how you achieve this exactly? And could the same be done for Gmail notifications?

I've had Tasker for ages and never gotten round to learning it really! This would be a good chance to learn.

Many thanks.

Edit: ok I've managed to get the screen to light up when a text is received however it doesn't display the Dot View SMS image.

Here it is for all. Ignore if you aren't interested. Again this is to turn the dot view screen on for incoming sms and emails. Though only works 100% if your default sms app is HTC's messages and for email HTC's mail app.

To capture SMS and turn on the display it's pretty easy. Though you have to have HTC messages app as the default or it'll turn on the display but won't show the SMS notification, just the weather. You will need secure settings and tasker. I don't recall if you can get by with the free version of secure settings or not. I have the paid as I use some of the other features it has.

Open tasker and go to profiles. Hit the plus symbol and choose "Event" then on next screen "Phone" and Received Text. Then choose the type (probably Any) and click the back aarow in the top left. Then click "New Task" and name it Screen On or something like that. Then click the plus, plugins, and secure settings. From there click the configuration pencil, Actions, and Wake Device. From there I chose 30 seconds for the duration and Screen & Keyboard Lights On. Then click the save disc up top. I also made the Action Edit Timeout value 30 seconds. Click the back aarow twice and you should have the profile and task to turn the screen on for incoming messages. Might need a reboot for tasker to take effect. But then send your self a test sms with the dot view closed an hopefully the dot view will turn on for 30 seconds showing the SMS notification.

Can do the same for emails, but again the email dot view notification would only show for the emails coming into HTCs mail app (not the gmail app).

It's basically the same process except the profile is capturing an event-->UI-->Notification and then you tell it the app the notification is for (htc's mail app). Though I had to insert a wait command for 5 seconds before turning screen on because if I turned the screen on right away the icon didn't show. It was like HTC wasn't setting the dot view notification as fast as I was turning the screen on. I also added some logic to my profile so it won't turn the screen on after 10pm or if I'm in a call (phone is to my ear so I wouldn't want the screen to turn on).
[One (M8) Accessories] mykrlz182:
I've had this case for a couple of days now, and I love it! This is one of the best cases I've had. I'll admit I haven't used to many cases because I prefer to carry my phone "naked". That is why I love this case , it doesn't add much bulk and it is functional. I think this case is perfect for people that normally don't like cases.

1.It's thin and doesn't add too much bulk, trade off is less protection but better than no case.

2.It's got a really cool look and it is functional not just a gimmick

3. Don't really need a screen protector.

Highly recommend this case if your used to not having a case, but not if your prone to dropping your phone. I can't speak to how much protection it offers because I tend to take care not to drop my phones.

[Q/Discuss] Unbricking "Hardbricked" S4 that still reads Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader

So this is my first hard bricked S4 besides the one I had overheat which wouldnt read anything when plugged into a PC.

I've gone over and over the internet trying to find a sure fix for this S4 model i545 MK2 with no luck I tried making a debrick img maybe didnt do it right but didnt get a response from the phone. I'm able to see that QB mode when ever I plug it in.

Has anyone had any luck reviving these things without a JTAG box? I'm trying to not spend anymore money as I B broke.

Thanks in advance for your time!

Hoping to turn this thread into a how to debrick an S4 I know theyve had success with S3s and lower I think its time we figured out the S4's now.

-gogolie
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CNexus:
You can't make a debrick image while the phone is in this state. As far as I know the sdcard boot unbrick method has been tried and fails

JTAG or a usb jig are your only options.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
thanks I can verify as is a debrick img wont work. i wonder if thats because im using a SS phone's debrick img tho was hoping to find a debrick img from an mk2 stock but no luck. or if the sdcard mode needs to be triggered somehow on our phones? I ordered a jig per your advice I tried making my own which worked for the old s2s but it didnt work for the s4. hopefully the one I ordered works theres no specific one I need is there? what about using qpst and trying to+ restore an NV backup

Booting from sdcard is possible on our s4 according to data found in seclog. You need the correct gpt header so the partitions can be found. It should be SDCC.4

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] gigilie:
ok thanks for the insight can you elaborate for the less capable like myself ;) Should i apply that gpt with something like gdisk for win to a mk2 debrick? do u have a debrick img you'd be willing to share? PM me like if not public. Otherwise how do you go about enabling the sdcard mode and restoring at least the download so i can use odin. also i'm sure its not but thought I'd ask is it possible to bring the phone back to mdk from here as its the furthest down software wise you can be isnt it? ive heard even with a jtag'd s4 you cant so im highly doubting a yes or even maybe but damn i miss mdk. otherwise using qpst or rev or something has issues restoring as the bl cookie is missing from the files ive tried but i dont have a working s4 to go off either so that makes it 100x more frustrating and difficult. any help would be nice bro I'll pass you off some of the donations i got from my users towards a new phone if u can save me from jtag'ing which is like 60 n seems like a rip off for another 60 i could just buy a riff ;)
