Hi guys. Got a query for S4 Mini I9195 LTE users.

I am from India and we do not have full LTE coverage as of now. Limited LTE on 2300mhz band is available but not where I live. And my I9195 does not support it.

But next year more carriers in India roll out 4g on 1800mhz band. As u guys know I9195 supports 4g lte on 1800mhz band...will I be able to use it.??

Can u guys using lte on 1800mhz share ur experience...on battery life with 4g ?? I ask this as most european countries use lte on fdd 1800mhz.

Thanks in advance.

Samsung smartphones come with a always unlocked bootloader. I don't know if O2 locks it but European ones should be no problem. And yes you can install custom software..

Apk download from play store

Hello everyone. Long ago I found a way to download latest apks of FREE apps from play store, But forgot to post it here. I think a lot of you guys know this already.

Anyway.... go to play store (IN WEB BROWSER) and search for the app(FREE) you want. Then open the app page and copy the url from address bar.

Then go to this site :::: http://apps.evozi.com/apk-downloader/ And paste the url into the box and press generate. It will give you a link for direct download of apk.

THIS IS A CLEAN AND LEGIT WAY OF DOWNLOADING APKs FROM PLAY STORE. YOU CAN DOWNLOAD ONLY FREE APPS... HENCE I SAY IT IS LEGIT.

This method helps when play store says "'this app is unavailable in your country"" .

Another site is " http://apk-dl.com/ " If the first link does not work... you can use this. Procedure is same.

GOOD LUCK.

Hello everyone. I need some help with repacking system.img.ext4 file.

Using the program here :: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1921399

I extracted the contents of system.img [from stock kitkat tar]

I debloated that and added some audio files. Now I want to repack.

But all search results lead to tutorials based on Linux os. I have windows.

So please tell me how to repack those files as system.img.ext4 using windows pc.

Thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
Why don`t u try with Linux ?

Get Wmvare Player ( free ) , download an Linux Mint Cinnamon Iso ( more user friendly then Ubuntu , my opinion ) . Install them ( takes max 15 mins ) and now u can use guides for Linux on a virtual machine inside Windows

Also look here
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
Thanks. Just installed and configured ubuntu. Will try the link you gave.

Actually I extracted system.img.ext4 from firmware tar and then unpacked the img.

Can I use the link you gave to repack the img and make ext4 partition out of it ?

Anyway thanks. :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
Sure, the link u give was for ICS . This one is made for KitKat . U need different simg2img / make_ext4fs for KitKat .

For example what i use :

./simg2img system.img.ext4 system.raw.img

mkdir system

sudo mount -t ext4 -o loop system.raw.img system/

After i finish modify

sudo ./make_ext4fs -s -l 1500M -a system system.img system/

mv system.img system.img.ext4

sudo chown 1000:1000 system.img.ext4

So use Linux :P
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
Thanks.

1500MB is normal partition size for stock system.img

When I remove apps and add my audio files it comes down to 650-700MB

Now what partition size should I use? Still 1500 ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
Indeed . Keep it to 1500
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] sasank360:
But will the img size remain at 650-700 mb ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini General] SilviuMik:
U change that number only if u will use a pit file and modify partition size
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mindlessmissy:
Hello folks,

I have 2 images attached I will like some help with.

I was wondering if anyone could tell me exactly what the red Chinese text means.

It appears during every boot and stays on for minutes after the phone gets to the main screen before disappearing. It looks superimposed over every thing else. I started seeing it after I installed Startup Manager and I thought it was happening because I checked the box for "Show system boot time" in settings BUT this still goes on after removing the check mark and even uninstalling the app. So if some one could translate what the text is saying and IF there is any way I could remove it, I will be thankful for any ideas. Thanks. :confused:

BTW the phone is a Spreadtrum I9500 MTK6572 running Android 4.2.2

I think S Voice just updated to 11.4.0.2 but can find anywhere I can see for sure it did. I also cant find anywhere that has S Voice changelog. Anyone know if an update did come out and what was updated?

Also, I disabled a few installed apps like S Health but the samsung apps keeps updating and enabling. Does this mean its no use just disabling the apps?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobnut:
S Voice is on 11.4.0.2 but it hasn't received an update for a little while now. That is the latest version though.

As for freezing/disabling apps, yes, when an update appears, you get a prompt to download. You have two choices:

1/ Download, install then disable again (until another update comes along and repeat the process)

2/ Uninstall the app via root and don't worry about it again.

Hello.

I have the SM-G900F model with kernel 3.4.0-1182732

I have installed CallRecorder app by Skvalex, versione 1.5.2 full.

It is working fine (set device as it was a Note 3). The only problem is when I am connected to my car's Bluetooth. In this case the recording is either silence or white noise or a sort of buzz.

This happens with other recorders I have tried (Sanity, Automatic Call Recorder...).

I guess that it comes down to the kernel. Isn't it?

With the same apps on my previous smartphone (Motorola XT910 with modded ROM kernel) I had no such issue.

Any advice to fix the BT recording on my S5?

Hello,

I am a new user of Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.2 (

first time Android user

) and I have issues with the contacts how it is at present and wanted your help to get those resolved.

Note:

I have Gmail, Yahoo Mail, Skype, Exchange account, WhatsApp are synced in the device, but I have disabled Contact Sync for all of these. So now if I go to Contacts screen I can see only Device Contacts which is GOOD .

Issue 1: Search

When I search for contact in the contacts screen the search result includes contacts from Gmail, WhatsApp etc as well along with the device contacts. How can we get rid of these?

From where contact search pull these Gmail contacts even if those are not available inside contacts screen? Same happen when I search for contacts from Compose message screen.

Issue 2: Call Log

The Call Log by default include all Call Log and Message Log. We do have a View Filter where we can set ALL Calls Only and this is a temporary fix for the view to show only Call Log. Next time I open Log I see both of them. Is there a way I can fix this?

Thanks.

It's coz you must have previously synced your contatcs with Gmail / fb. Try deleting them all and adding them again from the backup. Also check the truecaller settings if any.:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prabhatnath:
Thanks river-mystique, Yes when I setup the device with the Gmail ID it did auto synced contacts and later I disabled the Sync. So how can I remove all contacts and restore from backup? Or I need to factory Reset and Sync with Samsung Account? Also no True Caller.

Another question: If I factory reset and Sync with Samsung account (Where I have my contacts and SMS synced) and setup Gmail Again, will the device try to sync Gmail Contact again, as during device setup with Gmail there is no Option to disable Sync types. I think it is only available after the device is configured.

Thanks.

Download this official rom http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW157986573210987654321/E980H10A_01.kdz

Note its Jelly bean and will convert your E980 to a E980H, i dont think that makes any differences personally

so i used this guide and flashed it http://lg.storagecow.eu/?page_id=12

tweaks i did and highly recommended.

1. Root using universal root http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2362657

2. use Titanium backup to remove/freeze unwanted apps

3. Use greenify to force sleep apps that cause wakelocks ( Greenify is free app in the market)

4. Use Xposed + Gravity box to tweak looks + add data traffic counter and double tap to sleep

5. Enabled eco mode for Quad core ( in settings )

I am seeing battery life thats just amazing , 1 % battery loss overnight while asleep , this is my goto rom until official KK is out

Plus max internal storage available, free ram is about 800-900 mb on boot , that could be bettered, but im quite happy overall

This gave me far better performance and battery life as compared to the KK leaks out there, and oh yea no bugs like the speakerphone not working :) Ive posted in General as this isnt a custom rom per se, just the official unbranded with my tweaks.

Hey guys. Running tasks aokp 4.4 currently but yesterday tried several other roms (both aosp and touch wiz) and this problem manifested itself on every rom i have tried (clean full wipe installs).

When on data, regardless of where I am and what I'm doing my connection will continually switch from 4g to h+ to 3g to edge. Does this totally randomly with no pattern. Then the signal will totally drop and I will be unable to do anything (make a call even) . Usually if I wait 15 seconds the the signal will come back, but only for a few minutes.

I have called att and they have done a "hard reset" of my data on their end but it didn't fix anything. Does anyone have any ideas? Maybe I should try flashing a different modem (never done this before).

This problem started around ten days ago. Nothing started it (phone wasn't dropped or anything) and I double checked to make sure the Sim card is properly seated... Which it is.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

As there are various threads about this issue i have just read 6 threads relating to this issue.

its seems odd that everyone's batt or rom problem occurs to so many people at once,

but im just perplexed how everyone can get this at about the same time july aug,how can we all get the same prob at the same time on diff networks,with diff aged devices

I did a hard reset and the problems came after that,but with rom i used before with no probs

other people have renewed there battery and still have the issue so i dont think that its a battery issue

so can it either be a virus or a programme glich?,

so is it poss a site can have an hidden virus that hit exec's,as i dont file share or add any recent new prgs or softwares

i didnt go on this site or the ftp with my exec,so i dont think its anything picked up off the net

can people please post up what they did with there exec previous to the failure

to solve this lets narrow down things by giving input to find a common casue

please reply>

date aprrox this occured:

did you swop ROM?

Did issue come following a hard reset?

have you renewed the battery?

if yes did it resolve the issue?

how old is your exec?

do you have anti virus on your pda?

have you let the battery die then done a full 24hrs recharge?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] jaceuk:
did you swop ROM?no last update was the tmob update months ago but that had ran fine before and had few hard resetts ince then with no issues

Did issue come following a hard reset?yes fine before did a hard reset nothing else done no progs added

have you renewed the battery?nope

if yes did it resolve the issue? n/a

how old is your exec? err about 7month old poss

do you have anti virus on your pda?nope

have you let the battery die then done a full 24hrs recharge? yes still a prob

i have put my SD card into the pc and back to pda so maybe that has tranfered a virus to device

has anyone else found any other clues to this puzzle please

I have three batteries. Two original sized 1620mAH batteries and one 3200mAH extended battery. The only battery that blacks out on me around 30-35% is the original 1620mAH battery that shipped with the unit. Which leads me to believe, it's a battery problem. The other two batteries will live to 4-5%. The extended battery takes quite an abuse (Heavy usage) to drain down that far.

[Galaxy Y GT-S5360 General] TheFixItMan:
you can also type in terminal emulator

su

tar -c system/* >> sdcard/system.tar

wait until the command promp returns (may take 5 mins so make sure screen timeout is set to at least 15mins to make it easier for you to keep an eye on it without the screen keep turning off)

once done you will have a file called system.tar on the root of your sd card

you can then load this file in android kitchen which is useful for deodexing

or you can just extract it and all your system files will be there to do with as you like - eg put in a flashable zip

note the above requires the following

root

terminal emulator (playstore)

busybox installed (get installer from playstore if not already installed)
