I came across a friend's galaxy s4 gt i9500 which surprised me because it was different from the one i had since it lacked many things like the "motion" menu on settings and many more, but what surprised me and made me not understand why it was like that was when i compared the "About Device" list on the two phones (shown in the pictures).......please if anyone has an idea or a reason i would like to know and if its possible to make my friends galaxy s4 be like the normal gt i9500..............(IN THE TWO PICS : The ones with big handwriting is mine the one which is ok and the one in small handwriting is my friend's)
U have different firmware versions and as samsung updates the phone some things may change ... if the motion menu is not present then its functions are somewhere else listed under a different category
But what I saw is that it was no where to be found......anyways another question is whether it can be reinstalled the official rom so as to solve the problem

U can flash any stock rom with odin from any region ... just make sure it s for the i9500 and not the i9505 ... i m currently on mg5 from INU region ... motion menu is present everything works fine ... there is a thread in the general s4 section with instructions to do so ...
Thanks .....but are u sure it will work caz I dought it ......

Your friend has a fake S4, don't flash anything meant from i9500,you'll brick it!
Notice it 'about phone' instead of 'about device'. It's Chinese clone

As it's a clone it's completely different hardware to the i9500 so any ROM you flash for i9500 will brick it.
Download an app called CPU-Z it'll tell you the hardware spec of the phone
Ok....but its impossible to keep the official and original s4 rom right

Hi Guys
So I just tested with note 2 with android 4.3 with a Galaxy Gear on the store and it works.
Here the link with some photos

I was able to play music,change watch on the screen saver,install some application,run the music player and make a call.
Will make a video later when I get my Galaxy Gear
Thats great. Thanks for testing. So sammy is all set to sell these smart watches to Note2 users.

Hey americo85
Was wondering how you got the program? The starter program will not download my Gear Manager.
I have 4.3 on my phone.

I dont want to sound like a noob but how the hell did u get 4.3 on the note 2 u know how long its been 1 full year and how did u get the update

Having everything stock. S4 with 4.2.2 Android, 32LTE international unlocked.
Downloaded Gear Manager directly from Google Play, and everything works with the Gear just fine. From display control to syncing, data transferring, notifications etc... All apps within Gear App Store also available to download. Not too great selection just yet, but my hopes that the XDA community will introduce some new, cool stuff, once the Gear is widely available.
Cheers
Which 4.3 ROM did you use on the Note 2 that works w galaxy gear. I have paranoid android 3.9 but there are issues. Would really like to get them working.
I have the leaked 4.3 on my Note2, but the only thing that works on the Gear-watch is incomming calls. No watchfaces or apps work.

Hi,
I have a friend with a Russian note II and access to Russian Samsung store. He showed me a free new S-Note app upgrade for his note II available on that store. When I am trying to open the same app (by shared link) on my Canadian Samsung App store it says that this product is not available in this store. I also tried to register with different accounts, got the same result.
Is there any way to get new S-Note on my Note II without rooting device? I own a new Note 10.1 2014 and I want to have synchronization.
And rhetoric question, why we don't have new S-Note in Samsung App Store?
You can get it on the Samsung app store.

My Samsung Apps doesn't show it...
Mine too...
Well, I got a link for a working new S-Note downloaded from Samsung Apps. It is little bit suspicious. I checked it with AVG and it looks fine.
Here is link to the S-Note at Samsung Apps, which is not working for me.
Not work in my device...

Have you upgraded to 4.3?
Nope
I hope that there will be a way to SNote work on 4.1.2. I go to 4.3 only when Neak kernel will work
I guess that is another way to boost the sound on the headphones ?
