its been like over 3 months lol =/ soo sad, especially since it was supercurio, i trusted the guy =/

It has nothing to do with trust. He clearly stated his agenda and never gave a timeframe. He even stated a few times he was working on the note abd other phones first since they were easier fixes than our "black sheep" of a phone. He is well know and i wouldnt think that hed take a phone just to take it and not evetually work on it.

The blobs that everyone donated for was clearly a possible hardware issue which means that nobody would be able to fix it without mods made by hand. At best all he could do was look into it. Its not his fault people paid for a new phone just to look into it.
The whole situation is analogous to if Samsung released a new phone where a quarter of them had bad search buttons. It could be a software issue but likely a hardware problem with QA. Instead of exchanging the phone people then proceeded to setup a bounty to buy a new phone to get this fixed. Its looked into and it turns out its just a bad solder connecting the search button. This would of been likely in the first place and people should of just exchanged their phone rather than setting up a bounty for something which has a fair likelihood of being a hardware issue.
You have a hardware issue then exchange your phone.
If the blobs bother you exchange your phone. If the blobs only bother you when you have to follow a page of instructions on how to see it, really. If you need to follow a multi step guide to see it then its not that big of a deal. If it is then exchange your phone.

Just curious...
Anyone play the game Osmos....that will really show off your lines and blobs if you play it in a low light enviornment or at night.

I play it I notice it with auto brightness on mines so it doesn't bother me. Since my lines are not visible with auto brightness off. It doesn't bother me. Auto brightness is buggy on this phone. Anyway doesn't seem to accurate.

Yeaaa I turned brightness all the way up and it is much better of course but it is just unfortunate that this bandaid is the end all solution. The battery when playing a game and having the brightness all the way up gets effed.

I don't have to do that when auto brightness is on for me I have lines. When it's off at the lowest brightness no lines. If I can't see in the sun I just slide my fingers across the status bar to adjust.

Hmmm is it safe to say that the supercurio project for the t989 is dead???

Do you have this problem on your Note II?

Hey Guys,
I just found a problem on my note ii. I wanted to know if it's just me or if it happens with you guys as well. It happened with my old my Note II, so I exchanged it. The problem is still there with the new note.
So here is how you find the problem.
- Take out your S Pen.
- Go to the S Pen Section
- Create a Note.
- Then go to the right side of your phone, next to the center.
- Keep scribbling up and down, till you find a dead spot.
Let me know if it happens to you guys too.
Thanks.

I did this and noticed nothing unusual.

This happens to my Note II. There's dead spots in the empty spot. I just wanted to know if it was me or some other people as well. This is my replacement phone, it happened to the old one as well.

Nope, my phone is working flawlessly!!!

Thank you so much guys! I appreciate it.
I'll be heading back to T-Mobile with this.

I am able to write on the entire side of my phone (both sides that is).

My problem with the note 2 is that stock alarm clock doesn't work, I set it up and nothing! Anyone else?

seems to be working fine here, are you sure you set up everything correctly? tone? melody? vibration? that's weird

No problem here. Have the device replaced.

Are you using a case with a magnet latch? That could be whats causing the dead spot

mine is perfect doesnt have any dead spot

Light/proximity sensor question

Does anyone else's sensor glow red? I tried to take a pic using the front cam and a mirror. The glow is very exaggerated in the pic.

Nope. Mines not rooted though.

Might want to get it checked out bc mine did that for a while and now my proximity sensor just doesnt work. Im bringing mine to the store to get it replaced
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

just looked at it again and now its off. guess i'll have to start reading up on the unroot how to threads lol.

Yes mine glows red. Even when it wasn't rooted. There are a number of threads about it. Unrooting won't have any effect. I've just gotten used to it.

Well if he brings it in he should unroot it to avoid any conflicts. I pretty much wasted my trip to the sprint store when I went to resolve this issue last week and they simply told me that since I was rooted there was nothing they could do. I knew I could argue but I did not want to waste anymore of my time. I simply unrooted and bringing it back today to another store that doesnt treat their customers like they are idiots.

I'm pretty sure it's because you have the Motion Settings on. Like quick glance etc. That sensor reads what you are doing.

I've seen mine glow red a few times, rooted or unrooted. Frankly it doesn't affect anything so I never paid much mind to it.
Of course XDA members are known for OCD, so im sure we have some ready to TEP it cause of it.

Is there a way to make the rear led flash when phone calls?

guys this is an iphone feature and before you go haters its really cool. I usually have my phone volume down and lay it on its screen. so i miss a lot of calls. My cousin's iphone flash everytime he have a notification or a phone call and it looks really cool. I know this will probably drain your battery but its someone choice to choose this feature or not

I've searched around cause I do the same with silent and phone facing down... I have yet to find anything.

Look for flash blink in the market. I've been using it for a long time

Doesn't light flow do that? I think I saw an option on there when I had it.
Sent from Flip's S3

Found one that works finally. Vibrate then ring. Light flow has caused lots of problems for some... wake lock issues and more severe battery caller for me also.

Yes there is a way to use this feature. The best option is Beacon, it works like an absolute charm on the s3. It is a paid app, however i have attached the apk. Your welcome. Is the sharing of paid apk's frowned upon? I hope not lol. Anyways good luck, post update to let me know how it worked out.
Mod Edit: Took out Paid Beacon.apk as that is Warez and not allowed.

I'm sure this is not allowed. Doesn't this fall under warez.

Yeah it's against the rules, but thanks for the apk although I'll probably end up buying it if I keep it.
Ome question though, won't using an app like this end up killimg the life of the led flash?
Sent from Flip's S3

Why not just turn the phone over and use the built-in LED notification on the front ? You can even configure different colours for different things.

You've been registered for all of a few hours and have already broken the "cardinal" rule of posting Warez. I know for a fact that you have to review the rules before the registration is complete. If this is how it is going to be, then your time here will be short lived. No Warez!!!

Got it. It works excellent lol. I was just in the sauna at the gym and then I got a text message I didnt know this app will activate without even open it. and it the flash started to flash. People were asking questions about. Seems like its a cool tweak to show your friends lol

I mentioned it 24 hours ago haha, I like it for night time, I put my phone on silent and usually have it flipped over cause the charging LED is bright in my room rather have a few Flashes for a couple seconds rather then unlimited flashes through out the whole night.

You can set the front LED to not have phone charging as a condition.

Screen smearing issue!

I have searched t-mobile galaxy s4 quiet extensively, and didn't see anything addressing this issue, my apologies if I blindly skipped a thread talking about this. I wanted to know how many people are dealing with this screen smearing problem on their t-mobile galaxy s4, if there are only few I'm going to consider getting a replacement. Thank you.

there is no such topic on the t-mo version, but there is a 42 page thread about this on the int'l version, link below fyr. also, i have that problem along with some lags here and there as well, but not too bad that makes me wanna exchange for a new unit though. the camera shutter lag is what bothers me though.

yes mine does it too, its probably a issue in all the s4

I had noticed this in the first couple of days of using my S4 but now it seems to be gone. Had it for 6 days.

You can fix this issue by installing an app called screen adjuster, then setting the contrast to -7. This will eliminate true black (pixels will be illuminated as they were on the GS3), but will fix the smearing issue until Samsung pushes a fix (which may do the same thing).

Every s4 I have looked at has the smearing issue. I returned mine today and didn't bother to get another. I figure, hey if I'm going to shell out hundreds of dollars to a multi billion dollar corporation, then I want that product to work 100%
Smearing happens with any grey on black image. Try this. Google images "grey on black" then open them in gallery and zoom in. Move the image around and sometimes the screen even goes crazy and puts out white and black lines!! Yeah smearing can be "mostly" fixed via an app to turn down contrast. But why should we have to??? :banghead:

Downloading "screen adjuster" and setting the contrast to -30 fixes it but why do we have to do that with our brand new phones.

There is a new kernel that apparently fixes the smearing on the International S4, you can find that info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2252445&page=60 I'm wondering if there will be a fix for this TM version. I can live with that "purple haze" but sometimes is hard to see text while scrolling on dark backgrounds.
