Hello,

I have a Dual-SIM Galaxy S4 GT-I9502 (Android version 4.2.2, baseband I9502ZNUCMF2, kernel 3.4.5-848374, build JDQ39.I9502ZNUBMG2). I have flashed, rooted, and installed Google Play.

I have two sim cards in this device, both are US AT&T cards. The first sim card slot works properly and permits network connectivity. I am able to connect with either sim card in the first sim slot. The problem I have is with the second sim slot. The sim card (either one) is recognized by the device in the second slot and shows the phone number, but it is unable to connect to AT&T. The second sim slot supports 2G GSM 850/900/1800/1900 which should work with US AT&T.

However, the second sim slot only lists US T-Mobile 2G network. I tested with a friend's T-Mobile SIM card, and it does connect properly. The previous owner of the phone was using T-Mobile, so the phone worked for him as well.

I called AT&T and they did configure my account to allow connections from that IMEI. This didn't help, however.

I am wondering if the non-stock ROM or Google Play might be interfering, or if I'm just missing something obvious. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Regards,

Travis

Actually data always saves in /sdcard/android/data or obb folder. but due to few internal files when we install the apk again,it wont find sometimes. so data stores at different location. But yes, if u r rooted then can save using TB or superbackup.

Custom rom and LTE problem

I have bought a S4 i9505 recently and I am interested in the ►►[AOSP] 4.2.2 - S4 Google Edition - Final-v1 - Feel the Experience of Nexus◄◄.

I live in Hong Kong. I know that HK and the US has different LTE frequencies. I would like to know if I can still use 4G LTE if I flash this rom?

I have searched through the internet and I know that the international I9505 and the google edition I9505G have the same hardware. I wonder what limits the 4G frequencies received in a certain region? Is that the kernel, baseband, or the hardware?

These are the supported I9505 LTE bands 800, 850, 1800 MHz, IMT, IMT-E. If you have one of these in Hong Kong you`re good to go. Not completely sure what the IMT`s are. LTE is limited or enabled by the hardware afaik, specificaly the cpu among others.

I am using Adam kernel 1.8 on Arrow Rom. On stock rom i was also using the same Adam kernel 1.8 but no problem occured. So i think there is no issue in Kernel....?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantjer:
Why don't you use that ROM with it's default kernel and see how that goes.

I had a quick look at the Arrow ROM's specs and basicly it's a rooted stock rom with a few extra apps and themed. There is absolutely nothing that would make it run hotter than fully stock according to the specs.

EDIT: I see that Arrow ROM has CPU Spy as default app, use that to check if the CPU scales down. I have seen it happen a few times that for some weird reason the CPU is stuck at it's highest frequency. That would make it run hot.

EDIT 2: and also check the fast charging thing. Your kernel will most likely support it but in stock ROM's it isn't enabled.

Before I start, I want to say the reason for this duplicating. "0" folder means first user in Multi-user, and "Legacy" means something I can't understand, maybe the File System created while flashing. This is the same folder, but with 2 symbolic links.

Screenshot 1: ES Explorer, two folders inside "Emulated" folder

Screenshots 2 & 3 : The overall size of these folders. NOTE: The size is slightly different because I made a screenshot and it was stored in internal memory.

Screenshot 4 : PowerAmp "Choose music folders" option. When I select /Music from "0" the tick also appears on /Music folder in "Legacy".

That's what i thought you meant. this just the way Android 4.2x works.

The 0 folder is the new directory, located at data/media/0

The other folders you see are links to these folders, not duplicates of what you have stored in these folders.

If you delete the folders from one of the link folders, you may delete the actual folders. They don't take up space.
