We most likely have to wait for Sammy to get out a version that matches that hardware. Word on the street is its coming .

That would be great, but I would expect them to wait several months at least to port it to the Galaxy Gear, just so they can help ramp up Gear 2 sales. Many might not switch if they did it too early.
Is tizen playing nicely with anything other than touchwiz?

I don't have one but I saw this article and thought I would pass it along. I once wished I waited for the active, but now I'm glad I don't have it. Seems like a train wreck device.

Lucky bastard.
I bought an Active on 8/9, and by 8/13 I was in an AT&T store replacing it with a new Active. That Active only lasted until 8/16. Worst part was that I was on vacation the whole time and unable to use my phone during a 17 hour drive home from Florida. The memory card still works but I'm done with Samsung's poor quality control. This isn't the first poorly made Samsung I've owned or had issues with, but it will be my last.
nice article. I like and get information to this post. keep it up.:good:
I am wondering if the one time replacement is a new phone or a refurbished phone? Has anyone tried this out yet?

I have returned an Active with MF1 and they didn't notice the difference.. .why do you need MF3 to test?
EDIT didnt read fully lol, why do you need MF3 anyways, it doesn't seem different and there's no update in sight
Yeah... I am on my 4th active... and I have to replace this one for dead pixels :-/

Just because this phone isn't popular doesn't mean Samsung won't update it. Hell they send updates out for the rugby and the other oddball Samsung phones that att has. I am thinking we will at least get 4.3 when the original s4 does which is slated for next month.

sure but my point is why worry about something that doesn't have an available update yet? Usually leaks happen before updates are even released OTA. I would wait until we have a 4.3 update to see if we can get it somehow or if there is an odin flash or what. I am sure we will have a way soon... just hold on you may not be able to upgrade the MF3 but probably other releases.

Samsung's official statement on the matter says that
"Samsung designed and tested the Galaxy S 4 Active to adhere to IP67 standards for water resistance (1 meter for 30 minutes). If your Galaxy S 4 Active has been damaged due to water exposure, bring it back to an AT&T retail store as soon as possible for a one-time exchange for another Galaxy S 4 Active."

wow that looks sick!
I had roms installed on my Motoactv, but to be honest it's just not that useful to run full android on a watch... Was interesting for about an hour until I saw the battery wouldn't last long. Also, without wifi (which the motoactv has), it won't be that great since you'll still need your phone.
I wonder since the gear is based on samsung architecture have the develpoers of the CF-autoroot tried to root the gear.
I think the one thing you never forget to take with you on any occasion is your phone so I cant see the problem .its not to replace a phone its to acompany it

There are several articles about a leaked update file from Best Buy that announce 4.3 upgrades to several devices. Here is a link to one:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/10/25/leak-samsungs-american-android-4-3-and-galaxy-gear-update-release-schedule-for-the-galaxy-s4-s4-active-s-iii-and-note-ii/
I have a Verizon Galaxy S4 and got my upgrade yesterday via OTA. It appears the leked schedule is accurate so far on the first update.
Good luck hope you get your upgrades on time, it brings out all the capabilities of the Gear.
For the ones who know me, I had a note 1 and note 2 for AT&T. I've done my little share or Rom development and theming apps...
So anyone who knows me..what's up guys....Looks like we need alot of work here I take it?
Hey. I remember you in the 2 forums. Yeah it's dead over here but there's a thread in general that kinda let's us flash roms. Someone just verified it working and starting to dig deeper into it to maybe get us some roms made up. Check the thread out.
And if you are running mi9 then root with dlv and disable your update cause once you are on mj5 you can't go back as it stands right now. It will auto update if you wait to long

It's funny that you mention it, just today we discovered that it is possible to flash custom ROMs. If you're on MJ5 and something goes wrong, you won't be able to un-brick your device. However if you're running an earlier firmware you can use Odin to re-flash stock. Can't wait to wipe this TouchJizz off the face of the earth, just waiting for that MJ5 Odin. :good:
Wish!
Good to see ya around here...Ya, I'm patiently waiting for this thing to take off. This is just upsetting that we have to deal with this nonsense with the locked bootloaders

Once your on Mj5 as of right now the most you can do is Root and theme. im Hoping we can get a Odin Package for MJ5 soon so we dont have to worry about bricks and we can start testing more things with out worrying about not being able to recover.
true..root ,theme and debloat ....You would think.after debloating this rom. And using sd read/write values that would increase a decent amount for such a early development.
Is phone sure loves to use alot of stock ram for some reason..

We will have Odin soon enough. For now root, Debloat, and xposed is good enough for me. My 2 biggest gripes were the green eqs tabs, and the green battery. I themed to match the blue tw jelly bean theme, and removed the battery icon. Looks much better. Also did some other things with xposed. Very happy for now.

I've been patiently waiting as my phone updated to mj5 also so I'm stuck with stock for now, I don't want to start modding without a way to recover. Good to see you here Wish777 hopefully we see the ball rolling soon with this beast.

Hello all.
Im new to the note 3... but not to xda. I dont post much at all. However I do have a rooted skyrocket and give all credit to Vincom. I still read through his threads regularly. I got the s2 when it was the flagship and now ive upped the grade to the next one. I think its wrong of the manufacturer and carrier to charge us a boatload for this device and chain it to the dock so to speak. It seems there is some experience in this thread so I will be checking in often. I also had the mj5 update sneek in before I knew what happened and it does seem that we are all leary of the dread 600$ brick. Thanks to all who dare. You are my hero (s).

I cant post links to it per xda rules but if you google it you'll find it...I haven't had any issues .
You can use "wanan" app and "exposed framework" app to theme and some decent mods.
I was browsing and found this article... not sure how reliable the source is but has anyone else heard about this? If so has anyone tried it out yet? I'm guessing we somehow use Kies to install it...

Yeah, I saw there was another thread in the Gear 2 forums (they should probably combine them!). They said the same thing about it being international or something. I read one post saying they installed it with Odin, not sure if that was true but I will just hold off installing it.
Thanks!

I have no issues here in US. I flashed the Greek firmware in Odin and all is well through a normal day of usage and apps install as usual via Samsung Apps. I'm about to try reverting just for shiggles and see how that goes, for no reason other than curiosity.

I honestly haven't noticed anything much. I did notice that the occasional artifacts left behind by a previous screen when scrolling through my apps seem to have stopped. Other than that no visible changes to me.

Hi guys, there's a new official BTU firmware available via ota. Change log lists s health improvement plus ui improvement. Will test and report anything extraordinary. Personally I'm hoping the pedometer learns to count steps and the heart rate sensor to stop jumping from 70 to 140 in a few seconds.
