In this forum I heard only about one person having this issue, and I'm pretty shure we'll get Android L

Dont worry, I have 2 Korean models in which one of them has this bug. Just clean the screen, use a good protector and it should be enough. Yes the wet screen does cause the screen to have a mind of its own. Apps open them selves, notification toggles on and off. But its not really a big issue if you use it in a dry weather like Pakistan.

I'm living in Germany Carrier is E-Plus. Yes you'll have official kitkat but you have to use the Roms for your phone for the LTE or 3g version are much more roms available.

There isn't a build for the 9192 yet. Flashing those made for 9195 or 9190 may brick your device.
No Briks. But no network, no sim

I would like to get the DuoS version of the S4 mini, the only thing that's been holding me back is that dual-SIM in general is very poorly supported by custom ROM, so if there would be a CM ROM for the S4 mini DuoS that would be heaven!

You see, the problem on custom ROM for dual chip is that dual chipping is not supported by Android itself...
Google doesn't have any support to dual sim, which means that each of the companies that make dual sim phones create their own way to use both sim slots and etc... Some phones like samsung you can't even get the methods they use to connect to the sim slots using reflection, which makes thing quite hard...
I'm doing my best on trying to figure out what are the modules and stuff needed to port CM but IT IS GONNA TAKE A WHILE! (caps so ppl don't get mad at me later on xD)
I've figured a few things up taking a look at the stock rom and it seems that the biggest problem is the lack of apks that work with dual sim...
For example, the phone application for dual sim samsung phones is a different version of the phone application with 2 buttons to make the call, same goes for sms and mms apps...
I think that even if we port CM to this phone, we are gonna get stuck with some stock apps....

And there's still no fix for that? =) No one interested on this subject? i belive that this guy would be a hero for dual SIM users :highfive:
Hey
I was thinking about new phone for my dad and i see i9192 s4 mini dual sim the best for him ..
Do you advice me to buy this phone and how is the overall performance of it ..?
Is there a lag in official rom ? Will it receive kit kat ?
The roms here for i9190 work on it ?.
Thank you.
If he does'nt need dual sim, you should probably get him i9190 / i9195
There are no custom ROM's available for i9192
KitKat update most probably has to come.

I would never advise this phone ever thought I have it. Samsung made a terrible dual sim implementation so far and the dev on it are reduce to root capabilities and eventually one custom kernel that will most likely void your warranty in the futur with the integration of the $^*ù$* Knox "Feature".
Do not buy this phone ever !
It's a good phone even with battery drain I can get full wotking day on a moderate work, email, whatsapp, phone calls with some twitter and Tapatalk in my spare time
The dual sim implementation it's not great but works very good 4/5 stars considering its a dualsim standby

hmm. im looking for a custom rom that is 4.4+ that is compatible with the samsung galaxy gear. This article is just a review on the phone that i already have. I found that they do plan on releasing the 4.4 for the samsung note 2, but like the most of us we really can't wait for the "official release". Currently I am in the midst of modding some of the system apks to get what I want but it is a long slow process as I am just beginning to learn the how-to's.

Try DN3 ROM
You can try DN3 v3.1 for n7105 it is android version 4.3 with all features of note 3 and gear manager. Also if you are seeking kitkat version you can download DN3 4.4 but I think this version may be not supporting gear

I got very excited when i read this. Since I've had the note 2 I've always wanted note 3 features. Atlast I did a nandroid back up, cleared my data and other stuff..Then did my flash of DN3 4.3, The conclusion? It worked, sort of...Even though my phone booted up with out any problems the Spen wont work and It commands me give it a sim card for data. Oh well I'm going to try kk but i doubt there will be a difference. Thank you though
NOTE:Bad idea, after trying to go back to my old rom i am now dealing with a boot loop. Drivers are not working because they believe my phone is th 7100, anyways ill update when i get it fixed.

I personally owned both models, and I would suggest you to buy Tab 3
Because it's more recent so, it does have the latest technology and latest firmwares.
All Tab 3 Models received KitKat firmwares, while Tab 2 won't even receive official Android 4.2 !

What do you think how reliable is this source? According to this sheet we will get 5.0 in march to april.
Samsung has hell of a lot work to do. Because they have uncountable number of midrange devices. :laugh:
S4 Mini, S5 Mini, Galaxy A3, A5, A7, E5, E7, Grand 2, Note 3 Neo to name a few.
But certainly S4 mini and s5 mini will get in 2nd quarter of this year. :good: Once S6 is launched world wide.
http://www.androidsilverprogram.com/2014/07/List-Of-Smartphones-Getting-Android-L-update.html
At the bottom of the page is a list including the S4 Mini as well.
Although I still haven't received the 4.4.2 update in my region yet
Hoping for good things though :fingers-crossed:
Waiting........
Yup. Been checking every month this year and I haven't seen anything promised later than April. So it's crunch time! Really hoping it'll happen soon, I'm terribly annoyed by the limitation apps have writing to the sd card in any location other than their own folder. You all think that this will be different in lollipop?
i hope we get the 5.1 version straight, because 5.0 has issues
I hope this update.
Otherwise, i choose another manufacturer after years with Samsung.
I gave up the S5 Mini after realizing that has problems such as low-quality recordings (sounds captured with mic) compared the S4 Mini and the camera gets to be lower.
If this update happen I stand with Samsung and I will try a S6 Mini . Otherwise i give up Samsung.

S5 mini is a horrible device. No custom roms, no dev support because it has no source code, uses poor chipset and is priced like it is the best phone ever.
No wonder the price of that phone came down by 130$ in India within 20days of its launch.
http://www.techradar.com/news/phone...l-5-0-release-date-when-can-i-get-it--1257804
Other Samsung handsets may have to wait a little longer, although we'd expect that most high profile devices released in the last 18 months to 2 years will get the update, including the Galaxy S4 Mini and the Galaxy S5 Mini.
Let's hope the first release hasnt got all the issues the S4 firmware has/had.
Guys can anyone tell me if the stock lollipop , incase it exists, will have sdcard issues? Do i have to use sdfix or foldermount again??
