So I know the Sband is suppose to be released in the next 20 years which will work with our S4 for those of us that want to remain fit and utilize the Samsung Health assistant, but what do you think of the chances that the Galaxy Gear is going to do exactly this?
I am not trying to start a rumor thread, but I am kind of curious of how this new device will possibly interact with my tablet and /or phone. Has anyone heard anything about this device? I mean for me I am looking forward for something that will replace my fitbit during a good workout.

It's hard to know for sure until the device/specs are officially released but I would be surprised if it didn't work with the latest released devices. Now I could see it possibly being a 4.3 device, meaning until we get 4.3 on our phones/tablets then it might not work.
I'm interested in it as well and looking very forward to the release as I am with the 4.3 update to our phones.
Have they come out with the long lasting battery and back yet? Battery life seems ok rooted... I'm sure it'll be junk in 6 months. I just hope extended battery isn't brick-sized.
I can tell that the inductive charger does seem to change the way it charges. I know that my partner at work has the official one and he is telling me that his battery doesn't discharge as fast as when he charges it through the wall. He refuses to charge it from the wall and now will only do the inductive charging or from a USB off the computer
Please use this thread for upgrade and or other other devices discussion.
Be respectful of others in doing so. Thanks
Aaa... I didnt saw this one. So I post my post here:
So Samsung made their S5 water resistant. Is Samsung going to release S5 Active?
I hope there will be S5 Active and future Actives toi. I really like hardware buttons and LCD screen. No typical AMOLED burned pixels.
What do you think? Will you move to S5? Me not. I like my S4 Active.
Are ee becomming new ui? I hope so, I saw small improvement s that helps uu and it looks less ugly. I want slow montion live hdr and focus change for oyr S4A.

No, for the following reasons:
My phone's already water resistant and dust resistant.
I already have a 3000mah (zero lemon) battery (200mah larger than S5).
I don't want a finger scanner or heart rate sensor.
While the processing power would be nice, my phone (with CM10.2 and other tweaks) already benches higher on AnTuTu than any other devices average (except phablets). Should last me a while.
While I would really like a better camera, I usually have a DSLR on me anyway, and this wasn't my main concern last time either.
No real design changes?
Is there any other hardware changes at all?
I will miss the updates and wider support that it would achieve though, but I'm willing to wait for a Note 4 for that.

S5 is like an inch upgrade of S4 Active, of course, with all the high end AMOLED, camera MP.. Basically that's it. S4 is cheaper and works well, especially coupled with some nice custom roms. BTW.. the 3000mah battery, the brand name is zero lemon??? Samsung doesn't have a larger capacity battery for S4 active. :crying:

Yes, the brand name is Zerolemon
Maybe?
The lack of development for this phone hampers it. My old SGS3 was better. It still works, but when it fell a year ago, it was cheaper to upgrade then to get the screen replaced.
I like the active, but the recent upgrade has broken more things than it fixed. I miss having changing out roms and being able to customize.

I had every top model from top manifacturers.Note 2/3,S 3/4,Mega 6.3,Nexus 4/5,XPZ,Padfone 2,One...and now return to Active for second time.For me its perfect.Top phone with no scare from BBQ,home and care repairs... I can use it with dirty hands and finaly both washed,its so easy!
Not Likely
After the appalling support the S4A has received from Samsung I will be changing to a Google nexus device or HTC. If it weren't for the likes of Spelgelius / Mythi / LeJay I'd be throwing the active in a deep dark river....
I'm lucky in that I get an upgrade every 8 months or so by passing down my phone to my lad, who then passes his to my wife.... Everyone gets a NEW phone... just mines the newest!!

Are you talking support accessory-wise? I mean, it shares many things with the s4 like the battery, and the software just upgraded to 4.4.2, so I'm not sure how that is appalling. The only one "official" accessory I wanted to see was a wireless charging back. Le sigh.
I've sent my S4a off to Samsung warranty repair twice now since last June. I purchased the phone the first day it came out at ATT. I also put it on T-Mobile the first day it came out.
Twice now I've had to send mine off to Samsung for the back button that stops working. First they gave me a new replacement phone, and recently they replaced everything but the main circuit board (new screen, bezel, buttons, charge port, etc).
I have less than 2 months left of warranty, so I'm not sure what I'm doing past June. Probably getting an S5 (AKA = S4 Active version 2.0).
I will NOT own this S4 Active without a warranty, it's proven to be a POS.
I have a question, (I'm sort of a noob) but, I upgraded to Stock 4.4.2 TW XXUCUNE5 and I want to get the custom rom Ressurection Remix 4.4.2, will this brick my device?

I'm on my 4th Active, had a problem with echoes during calls, and that was on the 1st day. Probably going to the G3 or M8....watching the G3 thread for bootloader unlock.

Ressurection Remix rom do not officially support S4 Active.
See resurrectionremix.com under list of Devices.
A correct installation of a supported custom rom for your device will not brick your device.
Forcing or installing a custom rom that is not supported for your device can brick your phone.
Since you upgraded to stock 4.4.2 you have now when in download mode Knox flag 0x0.
Any installation of a custom rom on your device will set the Knox flag to 0x1 and is irreversible meaning warranty will be void.
I bought mine off ebay, and tbh, I thought I was getting a regular S4. I'm kind of surprised at the lack of support for this phone too for as much as they hyped it as being super awesome. I do like it, though I'd rather have the regular S4. What I *really* want is to be able to run BeanStalk on it (it runs on the other S4 Active, not sure what the distinction is), but I'm holding on to this phone until it dies, hoping to buy a PhoneBloks style phone next.

The i537, which you have has a locked bootloader and the i9295 does not. What this means is that the bootloader with verify the signature of every zip file that you try to flash, the i9295 does not have this restriction. This means that they are able to flash custom kernels and custom recovery while us on the i537's cannot.
The i537 can flash custom ROMs that are based on the TouchWiz kernel through SafeStrap, however BeanStalk uses a custom kernel which means it cannot be installed you can flash it through SafeStrap and the phone will not boot. The ROM will be looking for a custom kernel and when it cannot find it, it will bootloop.
Hello,
I've just rooted my S4 Active i9295 with stock firmware 4.4.2 and managed to delete 27 apps that came preinstalled that I've never used such as ChatOn, Samsung apps etc. Are there any other tweaks that can improve my phone's performance? Is there something that especially needs to be deleted or what else should I do next to improve its performances?
Thank you
Games lag alot like subway surfer, and even sometimes keyboard too. It has 2GB ram, still dnt understand why. I hve very less apps installed. Reply is theres any solutions

Current state of custom ROMs on S4 Active?
Hello,
I have an AT&T S4 Active, SGH-I537. I have been able to root it, but haven't gone on to put on a custom ROM because the last I heard, the jackwagons at AT&T locked the phone down. But it looks like it is possible to do this now, but I am not sure because the forum posts are not clear. Is this possible?
If so, I am looking for something very fast, light and clean and for all the hardware to work. Is this available?
Thanks for any help!
I have my galaxy tab s 10.5 WiFi since 3 days ago and stereo not work, no sound from the left speaker. I try with stereo test app from play store and videos from YouTube but not work. Is broken?
Did you root or anything? Its probably defective if it didn't out of the box

My first Galaxy Tab-S 10.5 had the exact same problem, but I hadn't rooted it so I was able to exchange it. How long ago did you purchase it? If it's within 2 weeks you can probably take it back to where you bought it and get a new one they wont check for root. If it's older you need to send it to Samsung and they will deny the warranty if the Knox counter is at 1. I'm on my 5th one now so I'm afraid to root it until my warranty is over and by then I probably wont be able to because I think Sammy is trying to stop it. the last update already people are saying root doesn't work.
This is the first and last mobile device I'll buy from Samsung. Reasons:
1/ Knox warranty voiding
2/ bloatware. Yeah you can turn off some stuff. But you need root to get rid of some system stuff and every time the tab freezes you wonder if you froze something you should not have. It's a pain.
3/ they do not release their sources in a timely manner. Some sources are not released at all. This makes life hard for devs, and less attractive for them to work on. In turn it means fewer choices and longer wait time for us users.
4/ The main source for downloading stock Rom is a dodgy site that wants you to buy membership for storage locker? Seriously? We're talking about a company with revenues in the top 15 globally.
5/ specs look great on paper, but even after debloating this thing within an inch of its life, some stuff still lag. I don't get it.
Previously I had a nook hd+. The nook is an el cheapo device that was abandoned by its maker, but it has had official CM 4.4.4 build way back I don't know when. At least six months, I know that. And a bunch of unofficial builds with different nifty features. Working smooth and rock stable.
Not that we don't have good, hard working devs here, but it feels like they're swimming against the current. One dev for lollipop rom just quit and is selling his tab.
Man I hope somebody comes out with a big tablet with OLED soon.
Sorry if this has been asked before, but I've searched and haven't been able to find anything current. Everything is from months ago. I recently bought an M9 and have yet to activate it because I just can't give up my Gear Neo. Does anyone know where I find info on getting Gear Manager to work on my M9? If it's possible. Thanks in advance
Any resolution?
IT is really hard to get it working on a non samsung phone and impossible to get it on a phone that has 5.x Sorry, I know this because I spent a couple hours setting it up on my droid turbo on 4.4 and I got it to kinda work, then I updated it to 5.1 and nothing worked anymore. When that happened I found out that you can put wear on the neo. It has a few glitches, but i like it WAY more than stock, you can do so much more on wear. http://forum.xda-developers.com/gear-2/development/please-help-kernel-compiling-android-t2992953
