[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] martea_roma:
So here's my problem:

-I was on stock rooted MK2 (never took NB1 update)

-I made a backup and flashed an 4.4.2 i9505 ROM (purifieD) which has a bad battery life

-I wiped all and tryied to flash back the MK2 from restore option in SS

-here an error apeared : unable to wipe /system....and now I can't flash anything...PLEASE tell me what to do
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Odin back to stock MK2 and re-install Safestrap. Start over. The thread with MK2 firmware is in the general section.

[Samsung Gear 2] mrmrmrmr:
The watchON app on Gear 2 is very limited.

I really would like to have some remote control option for my Audio system.

Because my TV audio output is connected to my Yamaha receiver.

Is there any 3rd party app for IR remote control ?

Thx.
[Samsung Gear 2] BigDanInTX:
I'd also like to see the ability to control my Roku as well.
[Samsung Gear 2] mrmrmrmr:
In general, an IR app with learning facility would be great :)
[Samsung Gear 2] fastmike:
...and the ability to control more than 3 devices as well! Do they have only one room in their HQ at Samsung??? :fingers-crossed:
[Samsung Gear 2] tetsuoshima41:
I think this is not possible. The iR on Samsung is a sender module, not receiver, at least in S4/Note 3.

Regards
[Samsung Gear 2] mrmrmrmr:
ok; I would also be satisfied with some app who can learn through a 4 digit remote controller code.

And not limited to 2 type of devices (TV and air conditioner)
[Samsung Gear 2] rEVOLVE:
The Gear/smartwatches in general are usually purchased by early adopter/techie types who have a good chance of having a high end home theater system. Most of these setups have the tv piping into a surround receiver, so the Watch-On is terrible in that it doesn't have support for more devices like these.
[Samsung Gear 2] indycross:

I know the roku has an ir receiver, so it should be a matter of simply finding the right frequency. No reason it couldn't work

This only for the phone, not the watch hopefully they will make app for the gear
[Samsung Gear 2] rEVOLVE:
Yes I use these on my Note 3, but having on the watch is much more "handy". I already sent a request for the Unified Remote guys to write an app for Tizen that works like their phone app. I'd love to use the Gear touchscreen like a mouse for my HTPC.
[HTC One S] rosswhite:
Thought this thread would be useful for users to discuss their next phone as this device is now 2 years old. Also for former users to share their experience with their new device and how it compares to the One S. Or even users looking for a cheap second hand phone and wondering how this compares to the current phones.

I'm currently in two minds whether to get the M8 when it comes out in black or hold on for the M9 and hope that they get rid of that big ugly HTC bar and reduce the size of the phone overall. What is everyone else looking at?
[HTC One S] dd98:
It depends if you are patient enough, personally I like the Gun Metal Grey version of the M8. My HTC One S is pretty much dead with a broken power button, broken micro USB port and a smashed screen. I have applied for the One Plus Smash so if I get selected I will send you an invite if you are interested
[HTC One S] Brushstroke:
I think this thread is a good idea. Many people in the development section talk about moving on to another phone. I can now include myself in this category as I have a Nexus 5 coming in the mail probably Thursday or Friday of this week. After I get it, I'm going to do a clean flash of the latest CM11 nightly on my One S, set it up as normal and keep it as a second device if anything were to happen to my N5. I'm just sick of the constant, little stability issues that this phone seems to have. It'll be nice to have a phone that has a much larger development community. I'm not sure if I'll use a custom ROM on my N5 yet, but if I do I know that I have many official options as opposed to buggy, unofficial ports made by unknown devs.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Get the M8, it's a great phone.
[HTC One S] rosswhite:
One thing that has always confused me, if you put the GP software on it, does it make the camera worse without the sense software?
[HTC One S] Darknites:
Not tried it, I use insertcoin rom but I believe it only missing some stuff you most likely don't use but the depth camera still works just need to download gallery from the store to play with them type of pictures.
[HTC One S] jis251:
I wait for M8 Mini. Want to know the size of Mini (screen is 4.5" but want to know the "total" size). I like HTC One S, size is perfect and the aluminum makes it perfect. I will never buy iPhone or Samsung. So what is left, Jolla or Huawei or Sony.

So I decide to wait for M8 Mini. And keep my ONE S because of good dev's on this site makes ONE S live longer with great modified OS.
[HTC One S] rosswhite:
Yeah the M8 Mini will no doubt be a great phone also. Really interested to see what camera they put in it, ultra pixel or hopefully a regular 8/12mp shooter.
[HTC One S] rosswhite:
Sorry, I forgot to ask before, how has your battery life been on the M8? All the reviews I've seen have said its very very good.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
I had 2 days with over 5 hours on screen time.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
It looks like M8 mini will come with 13M f/2.2 camera, same with Desire 816. It is very hard to get a phone to replace One S because there is little to none small size flagship nowadays. Only Iphone 5s, One Mini, Sony Z1 Compact and the upcoming Galaxy S5 mini, M8 Mini and Sony Japan A2 SO-04F(Z2 Compact).

http://www.ringhk.com/news2.php?id=8515

Here is the original camera samples from Desire 816. The quality is very good and better than(not to the level of out-performed) One S but still no 4K recording(S4 400 doesn't support it) and 1GB ram. I'll definitely look for M8 mini but really not sure if I will buy it.

Galaxy S5 Mini is also not bad though. With 4.5" 720P AMOLED, S4 400 quadcore, 1.5GB ram, IP67 water resistant. Rumor said the camera remains at 8M but not sure about the quality, no official information yet.

Z2 Campact will upgrade to S801, 3G ram. Yet again we don't know if it supports 4K recording at the moment, if it gets the 4K I'll definitely give it a look.
[HTC One S] Darknites:
If you worried about size here the difference in cases, best thing I can come up with since I don't have it any more.

View attachment 2719592
[HTC One S] jis251:
This is what I found today.

The One Mini 2 is rumored to sport a quad-core Snapdragon 400 chipset, 4.5-inch HD (1280 x 720) display, 1 GB RAM, 16 GB internal storage, 13 MP rear and 5 MP front cameras, Android 4.4.2 KitKat and Sense 6.0 UI.
[HTC One S] Darvadouille:
I personally thing I gonna wait until the Nexus 6 is released...

And the One S still not too bad today, so why not keeping it few months more. We had great Rom so far!

And the Nexus 6 will rock I guess!
[HTC One S] Darknites:
For me my contract was up and was a good deal going at the time which made it free for a cheap ish contract.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
The problem is that now XDA only doing camera mod on Galaxy/Note and LG G2, all mod developer been moved to there. You found zero mod again on HTC M7/M8 or even Sony Z1/Z2.

So, it is possible that we won't have cam mod on One Mini 2. If the camera without quality mod, the quality won't be big over One S with modded, it still performed somewhat better(according to many...actually not many... samples on Internet) but not to a large margin and hence, upgrade may not necessary though the focus speed should be improved because of newer Imagechip. I will still put Mini 2 on my waiting list but not sure if I will get it.

Because now if we all don't have cam mod on Mini2/S5 Mini/Z2c. It turns out to be Sony A2(Japanese model name of Z2 Compact) got the best result but the most expensive one. But in my opinion, it is also believable that Mini 2 won't be too cheap either, remember it is a full metal body, it may ended up only a bit cheaper than A2 which made it doesn't that worth the money(if you very like metal then you are good to go but on a mid-end device, price/performance ratio is more important to me). Pay more to get A2 may actually a more smart decision.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
As long as One S still keeping us busy, I think we "still have time" to wait for better phone. Unlike some other phones who totally have been stopped the development, we are not yet in a hurry to force to upgrade.

We now have a workable(not perfect) 4.3 Sense rom as a daily driver and after One Mini 4.4.2 Sense6.0 out next month, we'll have a port from it and enough to give us more busying time in the second half of this year because this is a major upgrade.

So, the development will just continue in this year but I've to admit the life cycle might be finally reached the end in 2015 but it won't be in this year. If One Mini continue to receive updates in the future like 4.5 or even 5.0, we are possible to have some new development again in 2015 if lovely devs still around here.

I'm not sure when will I upgrade my phone. I don't like big phone so that's not many options available to me. At this time, I believe I'll simply just use One S til early 2015. If no more great small android phone out in the market, I may actually switch to Iphone6.

The newly leaked information revealed the super slim design.
[HTC One S] crni6:
Personaly I think that only downside of One S is update break...phone has thin aluminium unibody,solid camera and display even for now day phones with some lower CPu for this days. My next choice probably will not be HTC couse thay overprice there top phones like samsuns S series...I probably buy some cheaper phone with top specs but with not so good case like G2 or Nexus 5 or just wait G3 to came out if there price will be like G2.

Oh I forgetten new company phone One Plus One...phone with CM11 and top specs like M8 but half price, I think it will be my phone if came to my country.
[HTC One S] FahmyAbou:
I bought the HTC One S two years ago and all I can say is that it is by far the most perfect phone I've owned. I'm using the Xperia Z1 now as I got it through the contract. Comparing these two phone the only thing that the Z1 has over the One S is the 20 MP camera. The display isn't that good although it has a 1080p display but colors are washed out and viewing angles are very poor whereas the One S has very good viewing angles and beautiful colors and the resolution isn't bad at all as the texts are sharp enough. Even the battery life is equl on both phones although the One S has a much smaller 1650mAh unit (two years old) compared to the 3000mAh in the Z1. As for the speed and performance they are both on the same level again. Only when playing graphic intensive games a difference can be seen but running programs and opening apps happens on the One S as fast as on the Z1. So overall I haven't noticed big differences between the two phones and I didn't expect such as the One S already great hardware even in 2014.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
There is a M8 Ace coming out to solve the HTC over pricing problem. All nearly same hardware with M8(5" 1080P, Duo Camera, S801, 2G ram) but with plastic body this time, no metal. The price is around 3000RMB which equals to US$480.

The mass production of One Plus One is like kidding in China and Hong Kong regional. You hardly to get one since they only produce very small units.

---------- Post added at 10:41 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------

It is not surprised because Z1 is more likely an engineering sample, Z2 is much more mature in every very aspects.
[HTC One S] javelinanddart:
Actually a user of my CM custom kernel said he's using his as a backup since he dropped his N5 in the toilet. Not as fast but with a little tweaking it's really smooth. Not that I have a choice lol. I got this as a hand-me-down phone from my uncle in June 2014. I don't get a new phone till his contract expires and he gets a new phone. Then I get his Galaxy S5. I also got my first android phone (Samsung Dart) 2 years after it came out (pos). I'm always behind the curve lol. I don't really want a new phone though because T-Mobile's new 700MHz LTE band isn't compatible with a lot of their phones. Good thing we have HSPA+.....
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Hey guys. As I said, I ended getting the iPhone 6 plus which has been nearly perfect. However, I did get a Nexus 4 at a good price ($100). People are selling them for low prices since they are buying the Nexus 6. In any case, it's a nice phone. Looking forward to the Nexus 4 forums.

(Edit) after using the Nexus 4 for a while, it's more of a side-grade rather than a true upgrade. The rear camera sucks. The unit is fingerprint central - shows every fingerprint.... Otherwise it's ok. Easier to root etc... than the One S. Build quality is way cheaper than One S as well.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
N4 isn't any good, N5 and N6 is much much better. I've been switched to Z1 Compact like I said but I will move on again and now I finally aimed at Galaxy S6(first priority) or Note 4(second priority) though they are very expensive.

Originally, I was targeted for Galaxy Alpha or Z3 Compact because they are well fit in my budget range but I changed my mind a bit now. I can accept a bigger phone while keep the One S as a small spare phone. Probably I will sell out the Z1c for S6/Note4 and continue to use One S in 2015 so I will be still here around to watch the M7 lollipop port.
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Yes, the camera is terrible on the N4. I would say borderline unusable. Otherwise the phone is ok. The only part I like is knowing that the OS is running "correctly" with stock ROMS. Since it's an official ROM with a Nexus, I don't have to guess if a problem is due to a port etc... It does the job, I have an Android app running now - developing for Android wasn't as difficult as I thought it might be. Purchasing a used Android phone is a low cost alternative. I should have gotten a Moto G but I thought the N4 camera would be better. I was wrong.
[HTC One S] ChristianFS1:
I might've posted here before, but i've changed my mind a bit. I'd like a phone under approx. 5 inches, with 1080p resolution, 4k-enabled videorecording, full waterproofing, 64-bit processor (something along the lines of Qualcomm 808 or 620) and awesome battery life. So yeah, basically a z4 compact, if it ever gets released!
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
Z4 delayed to May to announce and Z4c/Z4u may further delay a bit until June/July. Sony seems to be going off his phone business but they will still active in this year because these models have been already prepared and no reason to quit without selling them.

Personally, I can accept Galaxy S6 because it manages to be smaller in size from leaked info(S5 is just too fat) and very slim. Samsung wants to use it to against the Iphone6 4.7" so it won't be very big again this time. I can accept a phone with just slightly larger dimension than my One S and Z1 Compact but with a much more powerful hardware and camera.

---------- Post added at 02:23 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:19 AM ----------

yup, N4 should be the cheapest developer phone. :good: How is your One S now? :D
[HTC One S] 808phone:
One S was a very good phone. I had no idea that the N4 could be so bad in terms of the camera. The screen is not that impressive either. It's IPS but it doesn't look as vibrant as my older iPhones. I can't complain. I got it for $100 but had I known about how it really was, I should have offered $75! :) It's hard to use a smaller phone after the iPhone 6 plus. I think I will pick up a larger used Android phone. Maybe an LG2 or similar.

Update: Things changed again. HTC One M7's and Nexus 5's are on sale in Craigslist here. Bought an old HTC One M7 - still in box. Good upgrade so far.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
I Just bought Galaxy S6 Duo(dual sim) 32GB today. Still testing the phone now. First impressive is very fast and smooth but battery running out quick and have to enable power saving mode if you want it last for a full day but then the speed will drop a lot(the power save mode is too aggressive). Regular model of S6(2550mah) on battery performance is real not that good, guess the upcoming S6 Active with 3500mah battery is a must for heavy user.

The phone is very small and slim, indeed just a bit larger than One S and still barely enough for one-hand operation, the size is near the same as your M7. The camera speed and focus is incredibly fast, the fastest android camera I've ever seen but the color reproduction isn't doing right in this firmware ver, my Sony Z1c outperformed S6 in terms of while balance quality. But overall S6 camera is still a lot better because of OIS.
[HTC One S] 808phone:
Congratulations! Great phone!

I am happy with my M7. I feel a little bummed out that I bought it for $140 and found out that Best Buy here still sells it brand new for $150. However it is a fantastic phone although not supported anymore. I have it S-OFF, Rooted and running Maximus HD and NusenSeveN. Both work really well. The screen is terrific and the battery life is ok, able to make through a day but barely. It's takes decent pictures but the focusing is slow. Overall, such a great phone for the price.

The only thing is that if you look at iFixit, it is unfixable. Once the battery goes, you need to throw away this phone. Bummer.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
I think all M7/M8/M9 are unfixable, yes I've wached iFixit. But $150 brand new for a M7 is like steall! Highly recommended!

I think for the focus part still iphone6 the best and S6 named second. But Sony Z4 with Phase Detection AF is coming. Actually, I'm not sure if I will real stick with S6 for long because this is my first time to own a Samsung phone(though my family got two). I can't promise if I will fall in love with Samsung or don't. Usually, I only like HTC and Sony. :D
[HTC One S] ChrisAG:
2013 Moto X

I went from an HTC One S to a 2013 Moto X about a year ago. This might not help many people since the phone is out of production, but of course you can buy used. The 2014 Moto X is a bit too big, in my opinion.

As much as I loved the Ville, I wanted a slightly bigger screen without going physically larger, and the answer was the 1st-gen Moto X. It is a bit thicker, but the curved back and soft-touch makes it easier to hold, if both are without a case.

I love the Moto-specific Assist features such as having the texts read out to you while you're driving.

The one area where the One S was superior is the camera. The Moto X is fine outdoors, but once the light starts to fade the camera is awful.

One more point in favour of the X - it's still supported, for the time being. It's scheduled to get 5.1 in April/May.
[HTC One S] 808phone:
I think the Moto X is great. It was the only phone that was like the iPhone and Siri when the phone is locked. Of course things have changed since then with Android.

That's the phone I wanted to buy used but not many people are selling them, that's why I got the M7.
[HTC One S] ChrisAG:
Yes, and the 2014 edition of the Moto X is even better, and a great deal at $400~ish compared to other flagships, but the larger size has put me off. They didn't do a great job in slimming down the bezels this time, so the phone is wider than the competition with a similar 5.2" screen size. If the price goes down further I might go for it, or wait for something else. Maybe the 3rd generation will be slimmer.
[HTC One S] Schlengge:
Guys... This device was soooo good :D

I handed it over to a friend about half a year ago and went for a Z1c.

Still loving it every time I see him using it!

So choose wisely my friends :P
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
yup, I agreed. Not to mention it's focus speed is still very good nowadays with stock camera(should beat some mid-end new phones) and it's design is still unique and sexy too. We've had too much good memory with this phone, the development and discussion was very active here back to the day on 2012/2013 and until early 2014 when official JB 4.2.2 leaked. Yes, there are 2012 flagship which is still active on XDA like Note2 but I've never seen a mid-end phone was so active on XDA, this is a new record.

I moved to Z1c last year and now SGS6 but I will sell out Z1c and keep One S as a spare phone because Z1c still worth some money to sell. Probably, I will continue to own One S in this year and 2016. Wish the lollipop sense port success.
[HTC One S] noobic:
I just moved to the htc m7 after the one s which was a pretty good choice :)

I've been hacked
[HTC One S] tominozh:
One S has been great phone for me, but because my contract was up I updated to m8 and love it. One s was put down by HTC by not updating it anymore even tho they had and tested fully working 4.2.2 sense 5. Thanks to labtoofer we got it here.

Sent from my m8
[HTC One S] circuit1:
Never thought I will be ever think of getting another phone after getting one s due to its build quality and the rom support. The phone is incredibly thin and good looking. But my upgrade is soon and I'm definitely going for m8.

Thanks to cm team, pac team, viper team, and all other teams for providing stable aosps and sense based roms specially [MENTION=494185]LlabTooFeR[/MENTION] for 4.2.2 sense 5, these both were my favourite rom on this phone.

[HTC One S] 808phone:
From the rumors, the iPhone 6 looks to be very similar in size to the One S. Maybe just a little wider. This will be great. For Android - I really want to check out the OnePlus One.

Right now my One S is working fine so maybe I will get rid of it once I get the 6 and the OnePlus.
[HTC One S] TheEndHK:
Iphone6 is very nice but the price is unacceptable, it will be around 10% higher than 5s. I want a valued camera phone which is very hard to find one nowadays. M8 mini probably won't be too cheap either because metal body.

http://www.mobile01.com/newsdetail.php?id=14954

This is a super detailed One Plus One review in Chinese, try Google translate. It tested the camera out with the super digital zoom and 4k recording. I'll say the quality is very good for this price.
[HTC One S] donverse:
Yeah, I was actually looking for the One Plus One too, but it so freaking HUGE. It's even bigger then the Note 3 (!!!!!!). I don't want a phablet.

I would love a solid 4,7" 720p phone with decent specs, great camera and a good battery life. Except for the Nexus 5 (well, almost), I don't see a phone coming my way... Even though my battery life really sucks on the 1S, but I guess the capacity is just drowning and it's normal.

I love the concept of the One Plus One, if they make a 4,5" or heck, even 5" version, I'll be getting this one.
[HTC One S] 808phone:
The iPhone 6 is not even out and people already know the price LOL!

Anyway, I just looked at my friend's note 3, and it is HUGE! The OnePlus is even longer but not as wide (I think).

I'm sorry but it looks stupid when next to someone's head. Other than that, it looks ok. The OnePlus camera has been reviewed and it's apparently not as amazing as once thought (typical).

Now lets see if they can deliver the phone in sufficient quantities.

I should point out that the one thing my friend said was the battery lasts 3 days!!!!! Big phone=big battery :)
