[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] leo_skatan:
I have an AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337 rooted. I tried to flash a custom recovery with Rom Manager, Rom installer, Safestrap and Odin in that order. All my attempts failed because the boot loader is locked and now the stock recovery its gone. My question is: If I flash a stock ROM like out of the box (NB1 OTA) in ODIN that return my phone back to original settings and with the stock recovery too? Thanks in advance!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] jd1639:
Yes, your only Odin right now is to flash the full Odin tar file

If possible to flash a full stock rom with Odin making a downgrade to Jelly Bean and then unlock the bootloader to install Clockworkmod???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] drock212:
No you can't go backwards with bootloaders. I assume since you weren't able to do custom recovery you're on a newer firmware nc1? If so you can root with towel root then only use safestrap as a means for recovery. But you'll only be able to install touchwiz based roms.

a very cheap and simple solution!

i bought some silicon bubbles for furnitures and stick them at the 4 corners of the case

https://s3.amazonaws.com/pushbullet...cOvBzp9bHfAkVE1ZlO8v8/2014-06-25 14.20.35.jpg

now the speaker aint blocked no more when laying on the back and also the camera lens is more protected against scratches
[Galaxy S 5 General] barondebxl:
That's a nice little trick
[Galaxy S 5 General] bloodomen2:
It would be even better if I find something like the bubbles but thiner and flat at the end
[Galaxy S 5 General] Morinzo:
Why not just get a case that has small legs that keep it from laying flat??

you can itll probably be a thick case cus most slim cases dont have that

poetic atmosphere a very slim good quailty and cheap priced one

http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Atmosp...4&sr=8-2&keywords=poetic+atmosphere+galaxy+s5

the only problem is its so slim it dosent have enough protection for the lens

another option is Poetic AER it looks a little more protective and still very slim

i thinkthere should be a small screen protector for the camera lens that dosent affect the quality

maybe il try the one i got with the trident il just cut it in the size of the lens

I have a very basic question. I have installed NeatRom 5.6 Lite and after that flashed kernel 4.14. Now I want to install Aroma 6.3, do I need to change kernel or zip file comes with stock kernel by default?

Can i see the caller id with that bluetooth handsfree if i connected with samsung galaxy s4(I9505)?

And do you suggest me that kind of bluetooth?

I simply want a bluetooth handsfree that it can take apart the earphones and has radio sony mw600 has.

A LOT OF THANKS.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] nicknls:
Yes you can see who's calling, and if they are in the address book their name will also appear (in Greek too ;) ),otherwise only the phone number, i have this bluetooth handsfree device, i find it very good with great battery time, plus it has the radio that is missing from the S4, whenever you receive a call while the radio is playing, the radio will stop and you can reply to the call.

The best thing is that you can plug any headphones that you want because the ones that are included are really crappy.

You can also connect them with your pc (if you have bluetooth there) and listen music other there, you can have at anytime 3 devices registered, but you can always register more by overwriting the others

Hope i helped.

Are you completely sure that is shows the names you are stores in the phone galaxy s4 because i try the mw600 one of my friend and even at numbers i have stores at my phone it show ONLY NUMBERS NOT NAMES so....

[Xperia Z1 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] soc_jones:
I'm using a pair of apple wired headphones no volume buttons just the ear buds.

When I plug it in and play pandora or songza it seems the music will play through speakers even though headphone is connected. I have to unplug and replug the headphones while the song is playing for the music to switch.

It's not totally consistent but happens frequently. It may be worse when im switching between multiple apps, pandora -> songza. Or if there is a delay between starting songs.

This happens on stock sony and CM11.

when my phone connect to my headset (sena smh-10r, motorcycle communicator), sometimes it's ok and sometimes the sound is muted, and i have to manually raise the sound level. Annoying when i'm all geared up or i already leaved.

I would say it's 50-50 chances and i can't replicate the outcome.

I tried with smart actions, i created a rule for when i connect to this headset, that sound is at max, but that's for the sound of the device, not the BT sound.

Any ideas ?

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D179:
I am a old hand on the Android system but incredible new to rooting and flashing so please bare with me on this.

I have bought a HTC Desire 816 Dual Sim which shipped from Dubai but is set for Vietnam according to HTC. The phone on all parts works fine apart from I can't use the UK 4g network. I have used the code *#*#4636#*#* to look at phone info and the option is there for lte but still only getting 3G

I am looking to Root the phone and install a custom rom/stock UK rom but will this let me access the UK 4g network?

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbrsekhar:
Dear D179, you did indeed mention in the first post that your phone is dual sim model. As a thumb rule, no dual sim mobiles are 4G capable so far. You could only get 3G or H+ speeds on the first sim and only 2G or G on the second sim. May be in the future dual sim mobiles could be 4G capable.

Also, rooting and unlocking does not help you at all to get the 4G capability as it should have a radio that should be 4G compatible in your mobile phone, but all dual sim mobiles are only 3G capable radios.

You might find a custom rom for the single sim version of HTC 816 desire mobile (EU or UAE models), and after installing you can see that your network is getting 4G speeds, but it is all not real. Just the icon will say 4G but indeed you get the 3G speed only. Most of all, the custom single sim rom does not work properly on the dual sim model.
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D179:
I can't really thank you enough for your response.

What confused me as to it's capabilities was because there are many sellers on the internet saying that they are selling 4G enabled dual sim Desire 816's but when I delved deeper in to specs after reading your post, the reputable companies did not show the phone going beyond WCDMA H+.

It is strange however that on the phones secret menu that it shows the LTE option? Is this because the setup is same as single sim but dual is missing something?

[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D179:

Well still going to root this phone but I feel happier that I can put the 4G to bed and forget about that now.

Thanks everyone for all your assisstance. :victory:
[Desire 816 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vbrsekhar:
I live in the 4G enabled network area, but I never I got the speeds greater than H+. Very rarely it touched 3G and occasionally it shows just the H speeds too. I have downgraded from Xperia Z to this one only for its dual SIM ability, but still enjoying some of its features. Only the single SIM versions in this model are 4G capable.

As you guessed, the settings menu and infact many other menu features are same between the single and dual SIM mobiles. The appropriate fields of the mobiles will get highlighted and rest will be just dummies or greyed out.

Rooting is the best thing in Android. Enjoy your mobile after rooting installing ad away or ad free to get rid of annoying adverts in some apps. Enjoy the xposed app as well which unlocks the endless tweaking opportunities I your phone.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kuromusha38:
that's would be ****ing annoying as hell. Samsung bought an unnecessary step when charging. I charge my phone multiple times a day because I have a habit of charging when I'm at the desk because charging prevents the screen from going off and I prefer to have the phone screen on all the time because I use it as a calendar, reminder and a timer when I'm working.

That's why S5 sucks balls.
