What is stopping you lads???

Miffed my N4 ain't got this yet!

:-(

Mmm the bold capped writing saying do not flash on your S4...

DUBLINHITMAN

I recently came from the iPhone after many years of owning them I decided just to jump ship
and since I've had the s4 I'm sorry I didn't jump sooner
and im not much of a techy fella so getting used to the s4 was a bit hard
and that just shows that the iPhone is idiot proof in comparison
every time I use the wifes or have to answer it, actually feel like a kids phone
I probably haven't answered any of your questions above but its just my thoughts
hope it helps on your decision

Dropped my phone and screen cracked. How much am I looking at to get it fixed and where?

Bring it back to the place you bought it, might be more expensive but at least it will done by Sammy trained staff. You'll keep your warranty and have a good come back if any other faults develop. There's way too many threads on boards of Chinese shops ****ing up

Is there anyway to transfer your playlists in itunes to the S4?

Put an custom Google edition ROM on tonight. So far so good, see how tomorrow goes.

Is it possible to install this rom without an SD card? I'm desperate for this ROM and I'm waiting for an SD card to arrive from Amazon

Ouch. Don't think I can afford €180.
May have to sell it as damaged.
How much is it worth with a cracked screen.

I flashed it from my SD card but clock work mod recovery had the option to flash ROMs from both memories

One thing I'm having a bit of bother with is installing clockworkmod onto the phone? Have you a link you can pm me? Would really appreciate it.

I picked up the latest version from the thread above, put phone into download mode, open Odin, select the CWM file and press start.

Takes about 15 seconds.

Great, thanks man! Have CWM installed now. Any ideas how I transfer the ROM to my device now? (new to Android!)

FAQ AND HOW TO

Thats as far as my help goes, search and read XDA threads, there's 1000's of guides so no need to rewrite them.

I've stupidly soft bricked my S4 messing around in CWM without the SD card and now I need to reinstall the stock firmware for it. Do you know where I can do this/get the stock firmware from? I'm with 3 Ireland.

Found these last week, all Galaxy S4 problems to be fixed is €141. I emailed them and they confirmed that its 140 to fix a completely shattered screen.

I dont know how reputable they are tho but someone else on here might know?

Cheers. I'll have a look. Got a quote on adverts. ie for €180. They say genuine Samsung parts and warranty won't be affected.
I'm gonna go into Vodafone shop and ask how much?

Thanks for recommending Jonny24ie
Yea it's super job.
Went to Vodafone shop this morning and get said about €180 to fix it. I asked him who fixes them for them and he said fonefix. :-)
U get a receipt with the job done and your Sammy warranty is still valid.

No prob, I'll be going with them myself now so

I am just wondering if any of you have these type of cases for yer phones?

http://www.grabonestore.ie/phone-wallet#deal-page-conditions

Thinking of getting one but I am unsure if I can use the camera etc if the case is on, i.e. if there is a hole for it etc,

Thanks

What firmware do you have? If you have a BTU version, sim free, then there is an update expected this week.

I installed a google version (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824). Seems a bit bland.

Wonder if gestures will be integrated into other roms..
