We often ask you to not try our tutorials without following prereqs and guiding instructions properly or you might get your Android device bricked. Bricking technically means that your device turns into a non-functioning and unusable state. Bricking is categorized in two types:

• Hard Brick (dead screen, no reaction at the press of power button) and
• Soft Brick (Device unable to boot and is stuck on the Bootanimation. Screen is turned off but turns up when the power button or some specific key combination is pressed).

We will focus in this tutorial to unbrick the soft bricked Samsung Galaxy S4. Here goes the instructions and prereqs. Follow them vigilantly.

Prerequisites to unbrick Samsung Galaxy S4 by flashing stock firmware and PIT file:

• Download and install USB drivers for Galaxy S4 in your computer.
• Enable USB debugging option by pressing Menu > Settings > Applications. Navigate and tap on Developer Options to ensure that USB Debugging is enabled.
• Ensure that your SGS4  carries more than 70% of charge.

How to unbrick Samsung Galaxy S4 by flashing Stock firmware and PIT file:

Required files: download Odin3 tool and unzip it on your desktop: Odin3-V3.07.Zip. Also, download the stock firmware and relevant PIT file (Galaxy S4 i9500 or i9505) and extract the zip file.

•  Turn off the SGS4 and boot it into Download/Odin Mode: press and hold the Volume Down, Home and Power buttons simultaneously for a couple of seconds till you see a warning screen. Then press Volume Upkey to enter Download Mode.
• From the Odin folder launch the exe.
• Now connect your device to PC via USB cable and wait till the ID:COM port at Odin turns blue and you get the “Added!!” message.
• Click on PDA button in Odin and select the file with .tar.md5 extension.
• Next click on the PIT button to select the file with .pit extension.
• Ensure that Re-Partition and F Reset Time checkboxes are selected on Odin. Uncheck the Auto Reboot options.
• Double check everything and hit the Start button on Odin to initiate the installation process which might take a few minutes.
• Once the installation is finished successfully, you will see a PASS! message on Odin. You can now disconnect the USB cable and close Odin.
• Remove the back cover of Galaxy S4 and pull out the battery. Wait for about a minute and then reinsert the battery back to its place.
• Boot your smartphone into Android System Recovery mode: hold Volume Up, Home and Power keys together till the screen turns up and the Samsung logo blinks twice. Release the Power button while keeping the rest of two keys pressed till you see the recovery menu. In recovery mode use the volume keys to scroll and power button to select.
• Perform wipe tasks: wipe data/factory reset option and confirm. Then select wipe cache partition. 
• Now, select reboot system now and select it to reboot your device.
• This boot will take a little longer than usual to boot the device. Kindly wait patiently till you see the Welcome Set Up screen.

Adobe is no longer releasing any updates for Flash Player for Android devices and the official support of Flash for the Jelly Bean is gone. Which means you cannot download it from Google Play like you used to do. But hey! This is Android, right? Nothing can be the end of the world or something. So this “official updates” leaving us alone does not necessarily mean that we would not be able to use Flash any more!

The Adobe Flash apks are still available on Adobe’s archive page and with a few tweaks it should work just fine. Thanks to the XDA developer ArianaGrande - who has shared the steps to get Flash Player on Android – we are writing down the very few easy steps to get that lovely player on your browsers of Samsung Galaxy S4. It should work on all the browsers, except Chrome. Yes, sad.

Steps to get Flash Player for Samsung Galaxy S4:

• Download the the flash player apk from this link: com.adobe.flashplayer-1.apk.
• Connect your Galaxy S4 with your PC and copy the apk on your phone’s sd card.
• Go to Settings > Security and enable Unknown Sources - steps you do when installing apps outside the Play store.
• Install the apk.
• Reboot your Samsung Galaxy S4.
• Flash player should be working on all of the browsers of your Galaxy S4 Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean device. Except Google Chrome.

The recent release of Google’s own version of Mobile Messenger includes all types of mobile communications while completely replacing Google Talk. Featuring video call supports along with others, Google Hangout app has an exception for AT&T Samsung Galaxy S4 users. If you are an AT&T user and want to use the app over cellular data, you will end up getting a message which asks you to connect to a WiFi network otherwise you cannot use the app.

According to AT&T’s official statement about the matter, the owners of Android devices who have installed the app after the purchase of the device can use it via both the cellular network and WiFi connectivity. However, if an app comes pre-installed on the device – like Google Hangouts as it’s replacing the G Talk – then the customer can avail it via WiFi or has to be on the Mobile Share option from AT&T. This way AT&T is actually preventing some of the bandwidth being eaten up.

For video chat apps that come pre-loaded on devices, we offer all OS and device makers the ability for those apps to work over cellular for our customers who are on Mobile Share, Tiered and soon Unlimited plan customers who have LTE devices. It’s up to each OS and device makers to enable their systems to allow pre-loaded video chat apps to work over cellular for our customers on those plans.

But the solution to this restriction is already here – thanks to those awesome devs – for both the rooted and unrooted devices. Following are the two ways to enable video calls on at&t Google Hangout app.

How to enable video calls on AT&T Google Hangout app:

• Go to Google Play store and download SQLight editor and Root Explorer.
• Open the Root Explorer and go to /data/data/com.google.android.gsf/databases/gservices.db.
• Click on it and then click on main.
• Scroll down for gtalk_vc_wifi_only and highlight and hold it. After a while you will see the Edit record option. Click on it and change the value to false (it should be set on true).
• Reboot your device.
• and… ta da!

Enable video calls on AT&T Google Hangout app – unrooted devices:

• Go to Google Play and download ES File Explorer File Manager - no root permission required.
• Install the app and run it.
• Now go to Menu > Tool > Net Manager and turn on Tethering.
• That’s it!

This method is supposed to work with other carriers too apart from AT&T to to enable hotspot and tethering on carrier branded devices. So try out and let us know!

The GPU would be powered by an 8+6 Pin connectors which represent a 250W TDP while display connectors include Dual Link DVI, HDMI and a single display port.

The GPU would make use of the cooler from GeForce Titan which would allow for better thermal specs providing users more overclocking headroom. The pricing is suggested around the $599, while overclocked models which would also be available at launch are going to cost slightly more.

It features a 2 GB GDDR5 memory running across a 256-bit bus and has 1536 cores, the same number as the previous generation flagship GeForce GTX 680. Performance of the GPU is expected to be around 5-10% faster than the GeForce GTX 680 at a cost near the GeForce GTX 670 around $399-$449.
