what if we use HDMI adapter like this one;
http://www.ebay.in/itm/Micro-HDMI-M...1?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_203&hash=item3cc120b221

MHL will not work with our Galaxy R because i've read some where that even our Galaxy R is capable of this Samsung has restricted it in the S/W level (Because they want to differentiate ours with Galaxy S II), if we want this we need to dig that and enable it in the OS level it self ..

Not at all. MHL is one of features that don't work on AOSP roms, and I am talking about S2 that has this option enabled by default.

That is not entirely true buddy.
I'm yet to see a Tegra 2 handset which has MHL enabled through the Micro-USB Port.
They have always used a dedicated HDMI port to allow users to view media on large LCD / LED screens.
E.G. LG O2X, Samsung Captivate Glide, Motorola Droid X2, Motorola Atrix, Motorola Photon 4G.
Hope this helps !

Has anyone tried if MHL it is working now with ICS?
I was in one shop and I have inserted one MHL adaptor in my R and I seen a new screen with a different meteo and some link but I was not in my home and I have not could trying with my TV.
I'm with ICS nodic rom and Ardatdat 4.0 kernel.

It was a not Samsung original MHL adaptor.
Something like that:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1080P-USB..._MobilePhoneDataCables_JN&hash=item460805c098
It is connected to the phone by microusb and to the tv by hdmi. It needs to be powered by usb or microusb power adaptor.

HDMI Cable doesnt work ???
Micro USB to HDMI cable??

Hi guys,
Thanks for this thread, I read it but still have no answered of the question - Can I use MHL cable / micro USB to HDMI or micro USB to VGA for my Galaxy R. Is there any way to provide video signal and if yes - what should I do?
I'm searching for cables ->
This one -> MHL to HDMI Cable Adapter USB MICRO For Samsung i9100 i9103 i9220 N7000 i9250 (type it in ebay search)
The seller says that this cable supports i9103, but maybe he just wants to sell his stuff. Is it possible?
What is your opinion, has anyone successfully provided video signal?
Thanks in advance, guys
PS: According to wikipedia, our phone has MHL technology avaliable: en.wikipedia(.)org/wiki/Mobile_High-definition_Link
en.wikipedia(.)org/wiki/Samsung_Galaxy_R :
A recent kernel for ICS (developed by a xda developer) also enabled the mobile to support HDMI output support via micro USB to MHL cable.

Galaxy S4 NFC Tags Compatibility

Hey Gang,
Just want to make sure all the S4 owners know that Mifare Classic Tags are NOT fully compatible with the new Galaxy S4 since it used the Broadcom NFC Chip. Mifare Classics are the most affordable and inexpensive and are compatible with previous Galaxy models (S3, Note, Note 2) but are NOT fully compatible with this new S4.
NTAG203 tags are fully compatible with ALL NFC phones including the new Galaxy S4!
Any NFC Tag that adheres to the NFC Forum protocols will be fully compatible so stick to those. Of those, the most popular and affordable are NTAG203 Tags which work great and have about 137 bytes of usable memory. This will be enough for almost any NFC App EXCEPT the official Tectile App which uses way more memory than it should. I'd suggest not using the Tectile app - there are many better NFC apps!
The 137 bytes on the NTAG203 tags is also enough to create a basic contact sharing tag with Name/Business/Email/Phone, but if you're wanting a full business card with name/business name/street address/website/email/phone/etc then 137 bytes probably won't cut it. (TIP: Install the NFC by MOO app - type in all the info you want on the tag and see how many bytes you need BEFORE buying).
Another tag that is gaining popularity is the Topaz 512 which is also fully compatible with ALL NFC phones and has 512 bytes of actual memory and about 480 bytes of usable memory. This should suffice for the Samsung Tectile app as well as holding all your business info. However, these are more expensive than the NTAG203 tags and will be overkill for most applications as the NTAG203's have plenty of memory for most task launchers or basic contact info.
There are other NFC Chip formats out there - any that adhere to the NFC Forums Type 1 or Type 2 compatibility protocols will work with the Galaxy S4. But based on what's readily available and popular the main thing to remember is that Mifare Classic Tags are NOT compatible with the S4; NTAG203 Tags and Topaz 512 Tags ARE fully compatible!
Hope this info proves helpful and keeps some people from wasting money on tags that aren't compatible.

Found this out the hard way. I have a bunch of mifare tags that I used pretty extensively with my skyrocket and my express and they just plain don't work with the s4. You just get an error that says "tag not supported."

Thanks for the additional info. If you search the forums you will see that there is already a couple of informative threads about this issue but more information is always welcome.

I wish I found this earlier .. I bought 5 tags off ebay and their the Mifare tags and just tried them out on my GS4 with no luck, good job they didnt cost much.
Thanks for the info about which tags actually work with GS4:good:

I used tectiles on my S3 and it was a bummer to find out it does not work with my S4. Thanks for the info :good:

Yeah....tagsfordroid are NOT compatible either. Lol. I got 10 cool stickers anyway.

This is not true. TagsforDroid sells NFC tags that are compatible with S4s, you just can't use the Mifare tags (as has been explained).

Ok, since this is the general forum, Im gonna ask a newb question... what can a user do with a NFC tag? I thought they were the type of things that I can just wave my phone at in starbucks to buy a cup of coffee with, but Im guessing they are something else altogether?

OK...thanks for the info. I thought they sold only one type. Haven't checked back with them since the new NFC stuff. Appreciate the heads up.

I just wrote toggle mobile data on/off, Wi-Fi on/off blocking mode on/off, & auto sync on/off using one NFC chip. These things are nice. I did not use Samsung's model.

I use tags from tagstand.com with my S4 in conjunction with the NFC task launcher app. They are compatible.
P.S. This thread should be under Accessories.

To put it short, they are little tags with chips in them that u can program on ur phone and when u place ur phone next to them it automate tasks on your phone, like I want my gps to turn on and my navigation to open up all without touching/pressing any buttons. so I can stick one of these on my car cradle and when I dock it, it does the tasks. But theres many other things u can use them for.. these have a few ideas

just fyi, the note 2 comes with the nfc antenna attached to the battery cover i.e. it is not built into the phone.

You are right. But hey we are on the s4 not the note 2. Its unrelated to what he wants to know. Ill post a link in a few of the tags I got. 7$ for 10 of them. And it was $2.99 shipping. Comes from Canada. https://www.tagger.ca/shop/

Samsung S4 SHV-330S Thread

Hi I just bought this phone, come in to share your experience on rooting and many more features inbuild in this beast.
I was pretty interested in the inbuilt antenna did anyone exploit it ?
Has anyone solve the video call , roaming issue, which prevent you from using.
I root my phone via this link

I guess, as all other Korean version of Samsung phones, this phone has problem with SMS more than 70 chars and multipart SMS?
Also, this phone comes with two lame colors making it out of my interest
I'm waiting for I9506 with traditional black color. Well, kind of black, but anyway better than blue or red.

The latest firmware solve the issue. I have tried no issue for me,,,

This is not an issue. This is the standard for Korean mobile network operators. Nothing to fix there. Probably, you didn't understand what i meant.
Can you send SMS with, let's say 300 characters? both latin and non-latin symbols?

Thanks for the info... I know what u mean after 160 character, it should split into two SMS.
I have tried for more than 300 character, it will sent as MMS.

May be it's possible to fix it using some parts from I9506 firmware if E330S doesn't have too much hardware differences in modem connections.
Actually, I'm very familiar with this problem because I've used SHV-E210K for more than a year. I've succeed to use whole I9300 firmware with some framework patch and few libraries from E210 firmware. But since it's very tricky and not exactly will work for E330S, I'm not confident to buy this phone, although I can buy it here in Taiwan without much hassle and for a good price.
I still hope I9506 will widely spread later this year, so i don't have to mess with Korean firmware anymore

Well actually I dun use SMS that often now... it is really useless to me.... everyone is in watsapp and other application for chatting.
I hope someone could solve the video calls and update of software still prompting required of SKT SIM and ROAMING not allowed.
the mcc and mnc is hardcoded into the firmware.

Yeah, there are lot of SKT (in my case it was KT) things are hardcoded in firmware(framework) of Korean version. That's why I've decided to move to I9300 firmware with patches instead of trying to patch E210K firmware.
I agree that SMS is not as important as it was before, but still in some cases you cannot replace it by whatsapp or other internet messengers. Still many people i know don't use mobile data plans. So, SMS is the only way to send the message to these people. The problem with SMS even worse when your communicate in non-english language where you limited by only 70 unicode characters. For example, in Russian language with its usually long words is really hard to fit sentences into 70 characters

Hi guys
I am new at forum...I want to root my phone but i don't know how...Please can you explain me the way step by step?Also it is my first android phone...
Thanks for your time

The above link is how I use to root my SHV-330S

I'm curious if dimensions of E330S are exactly as I9500/I9505?
My E210K is a little thicker than I9300 making almost all hard cases incompatible.
Also, curious if back cover and its hooks of E330 is compatible with I9500/I9505? I know about antenna corner cut (which is easy to make), but besides this back cover of E210 has completely different hook positions than I9300 making covers completely incompatible.
I have some kind of itching I want SD800 version, but don't wanna wait for I9506. But having experience with complete absence of accessories for SGS3 SHV-E210, i don't want to loose accessories again.

Exactly.
By the way I'm happy that I bought the e330s. Speed, 32gb, charger and second battery are worth the trouble to impoprt it from Korea. All is as I hoped it would be. The only drawback is that I didn't figure out how i get NFC working.

My nfc is ok

My I9500 came with 32GB, second battery and charger as well. The only difference for me will be Snapdragon vs Exynos. I hate the way Samsung did by splitting market to two incompatible devices. Although Exynos is very competitive comparing to SD600, game developers don't bother to tweak their games to Exynos version.
While Exynos is more interesting by CPU (i wanna wait to see if 5410 will get HMP support or not) and better sound, i want to have well supported device, i.e. SD version. Although i don't care of CM/AOSP/GE ROMS.
Well, going to order E330S in Black Mist color. I've found such version!

SD800 is pretty insane in term of performance... u wun get any phone that is purely make in korean, even for the battery.

Samsung gear App , Gear S3 connecting to non-supported or rooted android phones ?!!

Hi
Dear Friends
The S3 is great ,,,,,, and the Tizan is amazing
but the problem is in the connection to android , I am wondering why large amount of phones are not supported , samsung did this trick to force us to buy there phones -which is smart move - but I am sure that we can connect any phone to the Gear S3
, and I think instead of trying to port android to S3 (Bad idea )
we can just give the Tizan its chance , by simply smart effort form our GENUS developer here , and remove the connectivity block
any one can help me ? , I tried this

but it is not working
My phone : Moto g 1st gen , rooted android 5.1
Thanks

I've had my Gear S3 for about a week now and it works beautifully with my rooted/ROMd Nexus 6p. The only thing that won't work that I know of so far is Samsung Pay...
Maybe because your phone only has 1GB of ram and doesn't support Bluetooth 4.2?

Unless you can physically add more RAM to your phone and update the BT, you're hardware limited unless you can find some way to trick the watch into a BT 4.0 compatibility mode and find an APK that will run on 1GB of RAM...
