This feature is not coming to our phone. This is only for the S4 Mini and the MEGA.

As in newer phones. The GS4 is 8/9 months old now. I doubt it will come to our phones.

You could always use Google voice and groove IP. I have heard though that it might stop working in May so don't spring for the paid version just yet.

I don't know. The GS4 is still a flagship for Sprint. We sell more GS4 and Note3s than any other device at our stores.

Was the one x unlockable on at&t? Nope... I imagine they will continue this trend. I mean... Why not.

I think it's true... considering that HTC themselves said so...
If it is would it be a big deal? I don't know how HTC phones work really, I've modded a evo once but that's it. I've been a Sammy user for 3 years.

Well... A month the first time. Then they updated the firmware and that took about 5 months to crack... Still can't root the latest update... I'd be willing to bet we'll be waiting a long time. But hey, maybe this device will get popular.

I am hoping I get mine early so I can use HTCDev to unlock it before that gets disabled. I am not optimistic about it though.
It might already be locked out if att is shipping it.

Don't know why people are suprised by this. They locked every htc in recent history and also the Dev version would be completely irrelevant if you could unlock the AT&T version.

I'm surprised because I didn't know that. As a samsung user I don't pay much attention to htc.

Now that the phone has been out for a weekend by AT&T, is there any definitive proof that the AT&T one can still unlock the bootloader via HTC dev post 4/19?
Has anyone attempted it? Or are people receiving retail units with the bootloader locked?

[Q] Nexus 4 worth?

I am about it buy it off of google so i do not get t-mobile's extra carrier apps that waste my space. currently it is 350 for 16gb and i was wondering if any of you regret buying it or should i purchase it.
Thank you!
Edit: I know there is no LTE, so so battery and camera, are those game changers, if not are there any other major problems?
I bought it 1 awhile back and it was great phone. Back cracked after a week in a case never dropped or abused. That was my only complaint and lack of lte support
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda app-developers app
T-mobile ones don't come with any extra software. Exactly the same as from Google.

and it has lte, its just disabled. its possible to enable and use on tmobiles lte, i am. its actually an awesome device, i wouldnt ever trade it for a gs4 or an htc one.
I just placed my order!, thanks guys
It's a great device. Just only one problem i found is the device getting hot quite quick when play high graphic performance game.

Empty space between WiFi & Cell Indicator

In case anyone else is wondering, there's an empty space between the WiFi indicator and Reception Indicator. Your eyes aren't playing tricks.
if I had to guess, it's the space to indicate LTE/H+/other icons related to the cell. It's an odd design.
This has been on moto devices since at least the RAZR m. Personally I hate it. Never seen that gap on any other phone except a Motorola.

Totally agree. The Verizon version probably won't have that, at least. In thinking about switching back to vzw from at&t. For other reasons.

Really? All you had to was wait for root and flash a rom that removes all the att mods.
Not as simple as waiting for root. As the at and t bootloader is locked

Yeah I know. He's even on reddit throwing his "expert" opinion out there and concludes the HTC One is still better, so this doesn't really come at a surprise that he returned it. Just stop posting here if you have nothing good to say. I know Att sucks, but the phone itself is great.
I honestly can't remember the last phone I had that didn't have the carrier at the top....is this a common thing? I thought all phones had carrier names at the top by the signal bars to let you know whose towers you're on?
The space is there to show emergency call only if you don't have sim in.

I hate the gap. That's a Moto thing tho. On the One, both the ATT logo fade away when you have notifications (which is a nice medium) and the LTE icon remains present even when on WiFi.

Definitely didn't call myself an expert. I may get the Dev or Google play version but hoping for a ROM with a tight locked boot loader is a no go.

Oddly screenshots of the Verizon Moto X doesn't appear to have the gap as it has its normal 4G LTE icon where our gap is. Hopefully they'll patch it!

Talk about debbie downer, it would be great if it would work, i am coming from the gnex, and use google wallet quite often. CM10.1 would be great too but that is for a different section
The Sprint version of the G2 has been uploaded so hopefully someone can obtain Google Wallet access for other G2 variants.

I used tap to pay on my Att s4 last week. There's an up to date zip you just load from recovery and it works fine.
It's not a build.prop change. It's taking binaries on the sprint version and porting it over.
Any updates to this?, would love some tap and pay action on this G2

That's because the s3 is able to use 3G and calling at the same time. The S4 doesn't have the hardware for it. Since you say you have 4G in your area, when you make a call are you connected to 4G or 3G?

I have 4G when it does this and this was doing that right out the box before I rooted it so thought it was just how the s4 was until it was rooted

Well all I can tell you is it works great. I just tested it, my phone was showing LTE, I placed a call, and when I was on the call I opened up internet and surfed a couple of pages, ran a speed test, and surfed facebook. So it is definitely something you are doing. You mention you are rooted, did you install a custom rom, which one? Your S3 had SVDO chip which allowed simultaneous data(3g) and voice. Sprint or Samsung got cheap and didn't include SVDO with the S4 because they hoped LTE would be more widespread by the time the phone was sold.

Double-check in your settings what mobile networks the phone can use. Specifically, make sure it's showing both CDMA AND LTE, and not just CDMA. For some reason, some ROMs default to just CDMA.
I did switch it it's still the same i don't know what it could be never had this problem before

Well, if that's the case then your phone is broken and you should take it to Sprint and have them replace it. Your phone should definitely be able to access data when on a phone call if you are on LTE or WiFi.

If you have the new tri-band model: SPH-L720T
Then you can not use LTE while on a call. I just found this out myself yesterday. I am a bit disappointed. on my old GS4 I could and this version I can not. I did use it maybe 2 or 3 times over the past year. Oh well.
