[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] th3cr0w:
I was using S-line silicone cover for my i9070 (SGS Adv) and it was nice all rounder.

Dropped phone form desk on concrete, fell off my pocket on the street ... it was all fine.

It wasn't really much thicker than phone on its own and buttons were easily accessed. I have not tried this type on S4 but I imagine there is one.

Currently in i9505 I have more bulkier case - case mate hybrid tough (2 layers: rubber "inside" similar to every silicone case there is, and plastic outside - looks like what you described as your sides/back only case, with some plastic on the corners) - buttons / screen are a bit "deeper" in the case (thicker ruber overlay on sides than it was on S-line in i9070) but damn it feels like it can survive throw at the wall and bouncing off the ground.

Amer shellster

I've been using an Amzer Shellster for my S4 and really happy with it. Cost me £12.89 including delivery. Bumper case adds minimal bulk yet provides goof protection against falls. Really like the hip holster for use running or biking.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zakkkkk:
Can Anyone recommend me a slim fit cover that fits nicely on the s4, not too expensive but not too cheap. Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
CaseMate Tough case. Cost me about $20 at Walmart, though it's probably a lot less on Amazon. It fits perfectly, even with a glass screen protector installed on the touchscreen. It also has a textured back which provides the "grippy" feeling that the S4 polycarbonate lacks.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] PeterBormioli:
I'm currently using an original Protective cover+, and though it wasn't that cheap I definitely can recommend it. Fits perfectly (of course), no problems with connecting my S4 with a docking station. Since I've got the cover I've "thrown" away my S4 four times. The first "test" was when it fell on the street while pulling it out of my backpack. Second time I used it as a torch and it fell 2 meters down on wooden ground. The other two times it fell on carpet. Nothing happened at all to my good old phone, not even a scratch on the back. Also no problems at all with using the hardware keys or headphone jack.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] worktorest:
Otterbox commuter would get the job done. But it makes ur s4 a little bulky. Have to sacrifice that for good protection though.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Eddie Hicks:
I have the Spigen Neo case. It's not bulky at all but provides good protection. The case itself have buttons over the phone's buttons. I have a glass screen protector also and the 2 together is nice.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] g0pher666:
I went for a basic cheap case from dx.com, SKU: 200649. But it does cover all sides, the back, as well as some of the front, due to the overhang from the sides extending out the front. I got a few other cases with different materials at the same time, but this is the one I ended up liking the most.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Rhoban:
Thank you all for the replies.

I decided to get a metallic bumper. It does seem to mess with signal strength a bit, though.

But I guess it offers much more protection than rubber/silicone or plastic. It also held together tightly with a pin (You don't just slip the phone in. The bumper can pe opened at one corner, you put the phone in, then close the bumper using the pin). So it won't fly off on impact.

I think this combined with a glass screen protector will ensure optimal protection.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] lukedobson1980:
I am using a body glove 3 piece. It has a screen protector and a silicon/rubber outer cover. It was $25 dollars. It hasn't effected my signal and has survived a few falls. I know they sell them at Wal-Mart and Target.

hi , i'm wondering if there is a Mod or an app to capture uhd on endeavoru.

because i acn't use Lcamera :'(

thanks.
[HTC One X] Simonas0:
UHD recording will never be possible on our One X, because our camera sensor has 3264×2448 pixels, and UHD is 3840×2160. So basically it's hardware limitation :rolleyes:

[HTC One E8] J0nY:
I was unable finding anything about this problem so I decided to ask you guys here. So the thing is that my top speaker is louder than my bottom one. For example when I watch movies/videos in landscape mode I can always hear the sound coming from the left (top) speaker louder than the right (bottom) one. It's as if there is a small subbuffer integrated to it or something. By the way if I watch movies or some clips on youtube and decide to turn the phone clockwise even though the top speaker is located on the right and the bottom one - on the left, the audio is always like this top=left and bottom=right, so I can't decide wether or not it's a software or a hardware issue. So is this a normal problem? Is it possible that you guys have it but dont notice it? Is it a software or a hardware malfunction? Is it fixable?

but before that...

how do you open adb shell? :confused:

which stock firmware will i use: the one i got at sammobile (iraq country was chosen because there is no available option for jordan) or the rescue firmware?

and what is this for:

0p8 = cache

0p12 = data (will take tens of minutes)

thanks again!:)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hawaiihemd:
Please don't take this the wrong way but you seem to be missing some important basics. I'll gladly answer your questions, but I would HIGHLY recommend you read through the excellent threads in my signature before you continue. I'm certain it will clear a lot and make you a lot more confident about what you are trying to do.

Short answers:

1) adb is a command line tool which is part of the Android SDK you can download

2) you can use any firmware you wish to flash with e.g. ODIN

3) 0p.. are just the memory block descriptors for the named partitions

I am not that expert bt let me try to give you some tips.

Before you try arter97 method, I am suggesting something for your main post. You said after error you can't make odin recognize your device. To do that remove your battery, put it again and use key combination to start ur phone in download mode. Odin will recognize it now. Try this before trying arter97 method.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awes0meness:
yes. i already tried to do that before. odin can recognize my device for sure. it's the "NAND Write Start!!" "FAIL!" part where i'm getting problems so i try to remove the USB from the phone and put it back again.. it will not recognize my phone after I've done that. so the process will be repeated again.. remove battery, download mode, try to flash ODIN and the problem is... that nand write fail part. no luck there..

so i'm trying my luck on sir arter's post.. problem is this part on adb:

adb devices

List of devices attached

4df11a62d57d4fff recovery

adb shell

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

i don't know what to do after that.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nicesoni_ash:
I had that same issue couple of times. I was trying to connect thru a usb hub, connecting directly to back side of ur pc would help sometimes but if u tried that already too then I guess cant help more about that.

About ur error it happens when it cant find sh in ur bin folder. Try to reinstall the rom and try again or Google abt this error for more. Sorry can't suggest anything else.

Hello,

I need help with a Blu WinHD: I purchased one while in the US as a replacement for my broken phone, but once back in Europe I discovered I had no 3G connection.

A quick web search and I found my model variant (W510U) only supports 3G/HSDPA at 850/1900/1700 MHz, while my Italian provider offers 900/2100 MHz bands (Vodafone IT). However, another variant does exist (W510 L), and actually supports 850/1900/2100 MHz.

Since both phones feature the same SoC (Qualcomm MSM8212 - Snapdragon 200), will it be possible to change the 3G band used by my version? I was thinks about flashing the other variant firmware, or trying some dial string and see whether I can change Cell Network settings...

Any tips?

[Windows Mobile Software Development] Z80-Man:
Hi guys,

I'm still happily using WM 6.5.3 and HTC Sense 2.5 on my HD2, but last week, my weather tab suddenly stopped updating anything.

Now I just get an "An error occured while trying to download weather Data. Retry ?" message (or it should read like that in English, provided I just freely translated it from French LOL :p )

Have Accuweather recently changed their communication protocol with portable devices or changed their server address, so the weather tab can't get data from them anymore ?

Does anyobody know what to look for, and what to replace it with ?

It could be anything, from a registry value to a an XML or SQL file, or maybe hardcoded inside an LUA script, DLL or even an exe program ?

If anybody has any hint about what I should look for (keyword, weather server address, etc.), please help !

Unless it's just my ROM going wrong... But all the rest is working OK otherwise, including the stocks tabs that still gets updated.

Thanks for any help ! :)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] poyensa:
same here. but the weather widget seems to work. time to investigate.
[Windows Mobile Software Development] aleskow:
Same here
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Z80-Man:
Hint : when selecting automatic location for the default city, then today's weather is showing on the Home tab and totday's weather only on the Weather tab, but it can't fetch data for the next days, and still displays the error message if you try to update.

So the server seems definitely still reachable, but probably just refuses to exchange information with the device.

Maybe it's related to the recent certificates obsolescence that has been reported ?

Another hint : I just received a cheap (very) used HD2 from the UK (with an extended battery and kickstand) and when selecting automatic city location, it's able to get the weather data for all the week to come (and to show today's weather on the Home tab), but is unable to download any other city data and displays the same error message if trying to update any city including the automatic current location, exactly as on mine. This one has a standard ROM (for now).
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Z80-Man:
So yesterday I ticked auto-location for my default city (I generally avoid to do this, as it sometimes gives absurd results) and got only yesterday's weather.

This morning, the other days to come have updated as well.

Manual update is still impossible, same for other cities.

Now I'm beginning to think it's related to what's written inside the SQL Lite database.

Maybe the cities identifiers formats have changed, while automatically acquired data from the closest beacon is still delivered ?

AFAIK, GSM repeaters can be used to compute your location instead of the GPS (that's not always turned on, for battery consumption reasons), and weather data for that location can be transmitted even if it's not in the database (it actually contains only large cities - I was even annoyed in Australia last month, because it didn't contain ANY of Northern Territory nor South Australia city, except Adelaide, and the time zone isn't even correct ! - while you can get quite precise information about your current location, even small villages names).

So now I guess the automatic location data can be used to get information from the closest weather beacon, while pre-input cities data is probably obsolete somewhere and can't be used anymore to get weather data.

Do you know where to get the current cities codes list ? We'll probably have to type all of them differently inside 2330fc3c_manila...

Anyway, the list provided by HTC has always been terribly incorrect (my country time zone is completely fancy, and it's not alone in this case).

Maybe we could get a fresh one from a modern device ?
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Z80-Man:
Actually, the data is provided by Accuweather.

If we rely upon information from here :

http://www.efferen.nl/2011/01/how-to-add-cities-to-htc-weather-widget-android/

... Each city code should be available from Accuweather website when selecting a city whose weather to display.

However, this kind of information seems now not to be displayed ; or maybe it's been replaced by a 5 digits number, as you can see at the end of my city's weather page address :

http://www.accuweather.com/en/nc/noumea/249098/weather-forecast/249098

Since all the information I could get from Accuweather related smarthones (including Android models) is dated from 2010 or 2011, anything could have occured in the meanwhile... Including some radical change in the way cities are coded, maybe replacing those "region|country|city" coding by a 5 digit number...

What do you think ?

Could anybody owning a 2015 updated device check what's inside his database, please ? ;)
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mister B:
I see manual update works as long as have no other cities added which adds support to your theory on change with city coding.

I only use it for location weather manually updating so did not see this error but adding a city replicates the issue exactly :-/

Weather applications for other platforms would of needed updating so hopefully can find some info in it to see if looks fixable ...
[Windows Mobile Software Development] Mister B:
Well I have found if add the following string value key it will work again (see attached weatherredirect.txt)

Also attached the custom weather city editor cab & have updated the registry key in the cab if anyone wants to use/try it .

Screen shots of location & 2 cities I added for testing via manual update with just registry key added.
