Great to know. This phone is really nice with slightly rubbish software (I know because I got my ZP998 yesterday :laugh
For starters: After the first start go to settings-about phone and tap 7 or 8 times on "build number". This way you unlock "advanced settings" and you can switch Superuser on. Then phone should be rooted. (Well I was too fast and deleted the Chinese Superuser before knowing what it is and now I'm a bit stuck...)
Looking forward to some great ROMs :highfive::highfive::highfive:

About auto word of samsung keyboard

Does your keyboard automatically change the word ,written by you, in true word when you do your settings? Even i did the settings true , it didnt work for me. i always have to change it manually from the border above the keyboard. If you have any solution i will be glad to hear that . Thanks .

I can report that the first time I opened the camera a message toast popped up saying updating camera firmware :thumbup:
So far so good, my s4 is snappy snappy snappy. Keyboard was laggy but no more :thumbup:
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Any other things you can tell that updated besides the camera?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337
Other than performance improvements there is only seams some minor settings entries changes. Oh the about devices has different color icon
Camera app is the same.
I guess as this update is only a maintenance update it stands to reason that theres no major gui changes, it's all under the hood, like a grease and oil change.
I'd say performance is really good now, I have not noticed any lag so far.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Only really a performance improvement update it seems, plus the ability to use the SD card for pics and (some) apps now. Telstra still haven't got their act together and released their update, so I'm on the XSA unbranded version now, no more carrier crap.
Sammobile.com is a good place to look for recent firmwares. You can also check your specific model and region to see waht the most recent firmware is.
Okay new things I've found.
1. In "my device" settings, new drive mode settings (previously hidden). However when drive mode is enabled no more icon in notifications bar.
2. Applications manager, new listing for apps on sdcard.
That's all for now.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Listing some noticeable performance improvements here.
1. Message app opens nice and quick now (2000 msgs)used to lag and slow to open.
2. Contacts list scrolls really smooth, I've only go 71 contacts (however I've got my contacts saved in 2 accounts Google & device so there's actually 142), but used to have scroll lag.
3. Keyboard lag is now gone, using back space used to lag bad so first time I used it to delete text got a surprise. Typing is good too when you press a letter it gets put on the screen.
4. Pressing home key is quick and responsive now (S-voice is completely disabled).

I think it is number of changes Samsung have applied. They don't release any changelist, just number.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk 2
Is there such a page for US Cellular?
higher changelist number means newer firmware revision. That´s all what we get from Samsung...
This is without a doubt the best stock rom i tried to date ! it offers great performance just absolutely no noticeable lagg and it provides a good battery life , best Rom to date Imo !

Okay Google....

How come the okay Google voice command only works when I set my language to English (united states), when I set it back to English (United Kingdom) I lose the feature. Is this intentional?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk
I guess if English UK doesn't work then I assume English Australia won't either
Maybe Google doesn't like people with British accent

They must like something about them. They got their phones in their hands before us.
They probably didn't have time to program "Oi Oi, Google!"
Its probably the same as the old Google now issue that voice search would not work 'offline' until you downloaded the relevant offline speech recognition , or changed it to use English US. Not yet received my nexus 5, so can't confirm
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It only works with English (US), but I am from the UK and it recognises me just fine when I changed the Now settings.
To enable:
Google Now settings --> Voice and set language to English (US). Reopen Google Now and go back to the same settings - you'll notice Hotword Detection option is now there. You can now "OK Google" from any home screen.

I heard the real reason was payback: UK refuses to take back Piers Morgan...
When I change Google Now to US It misses every third word. When it is set to Aus, it works perfectly. Seems to be a pretty silly limitation. Would this be able to be hacked? I.e. make it think it is using US when it really is using UK or something else?

HTC One X No Data??

So i recently bought a HTC One X from ebay, everything runs fine minus one huge issue, I have no data, there is no display icon of any form of mobile network, no 1x 2g 3g or 4g, not really sure what to about this so any help would be awesome, I just paid for a month of unlimited straight talk service but there really isnt any point if my phone doesnt work. thanks for the help in advanced everyone.
Is the phone stock or has it a custom rom ? Do a manual search on networks and check the one you need. You have normal signal for making calls ?
And check the APN settings and configure them with the info you can get from your carrier to use data connectivity

As far as i can tell it is 100% stock, no roms because it isn't rooted, I can configure the APN but there is no data at all, not even an indicator sign next to my signal strength. I have tried everything and feel like it may just be a faulty phone

Then tell us what it says - Connected, Disconnected or Connection failed due to incorrect APN.

Aha, yes that's the Endomondo app that is installed when you have Endomondo on your phone.
I haven't seen any way to keep that running on the watch though, i.e. there is no 'low power mode' or similar, the watch just goes back to the watch face after a few seconds. So I haven't noticed any great power loss from it.
Mine stays alive when I use it but no low-power mode so I easily loose 15% battery when I walk for an hour or so.

I'm using Runtastic and it's pretty sweet. Most intended for runner tought and it doesn't have a powersaver mode, so you have to open the watch to get your info. Kind of a hassle but I'm using voice feedback also, so best of both words.
I'm using the chrono / stopwatch also for training (intervals) and it works well.
One thing, if you sweat a lot, put an sweat wristbands between the watch and my arm so that most of the sweat is taken care of.
Thanks for the responses, but does the watch it self track movement or do I have to attach my phone with arm band.
Sent from my SM-G900T using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
With Endo the watch just reflects what your phone is registering. Endo is activated on the phone when you launch the widget on the watch.
The watch only uses its own movement capture to light up when you shake it or tap.

I also use Runtastic with my watch and enjoy it a bit. Once they add low-power mode so I can glance down and see my progress without hitting the power button, I'll enjoy it a lot more.
Hello. I am thinking of buying the SmartWatch 2, and i had a couple of questions that maybe you could answer for me.
If i want to use a Fitness app, as Runtastic or Endomondo, do i have to also have my smartphone on me? I have a Galaxy Note 3 and the truth is that i dont like to carry it with me when i go running? (if i had to have it on me, i wouldnt need a smartwatch to record my running data, i would use my smartphone)
Also, what is the internal storage of the Smartwatch 2? Can i save mp3s or other data on it?
Also, can i connect a set bluetooth headphones on it, and listen to music or recordings from it (i know it doesnt record voice) ? Again, i would like to know if i can do any of the above WITHOUT the use of my smartphone.
Thanks in advance for any answers.

Basically no to your questions! Consider the smartwatch 2 as a second screen for your phone. It is not a standalone device in any way, apart from basic functions.
It isn't an mp3 player, it doesn't incorporate gps, it is simply an extension of your phone.

Well if that's the case, i think that the device is quite disappointing. At least as a fitness partner. Why would i buy a device to help me with my fitness routine, if i still have to carry my 500€ Note 3, and more importantly if my smartphone is really the device doing all the work?
I wsa really hoping for the watch to be able to function as a standalone fitness device, with apps as Runtastic. That's a shame...

Yep, that's not what the smartwatch 2 is aimed at. I think it's an amazing device, particularly with the latest update. But it isn't the device you're looking for!

I did a small search and i think Motorola Motoactv is a great solution. It is quite old, but to me it seems perfect. GPS, Pedometer, built in Heart Rate monitor, Radio and an 8GB internal storage on which you can store (and listen) mp3s.
