Thanks for the help :)

Hi [MENTION=5179935]MdAp[/MENTION] !!

Thanks for the suggestion. I had restored back to version 4.2 and then straightaway tried flashing version 5.1 of Ozcan Rom and it worked ! Somehow flashing to version 5 didn't work for me. Anyway i'm happy now. Installed the Ozcan Rom v5.1 and then installed the repacked stock kernel. Then i flashed comadose v3.5. It's running smooth and battery seems to be perfect now !

Only bug that i noticed was that while on a call i am not able to access the other apps. The screen goes black. And when i hit the home button i'm not able to access other apps on the phone. Otherwise everything else seems perfect !

Cheers and thanks for the help ! :good:

shutter sound with stock rom 4.4.2

Hey guys,

Ive done anything I could find to get rid of the camera shutter sound

1- rename shutter.ogg file (was working but now sound is back)

2- add a the line ro.camera.sound.forced=false in build.prop file (didnt work)

3 -Install Wanam exposed (was working then sound came back after some reboot)

4- Change the "false" in the shuttersoundmenu line to "true" (gave me option in camera settings in menu but cant turn it off)

got an Idea ?

Did you uninstall every Knox app after rooting?

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
I guess it's back because you updated the ROM. In this case, just remove permissions (put 000, it's---------, so the system can't read the file) without renaming :)

Hi,

As far as I know, when you root you lose the updates, that happened with my friend S3, in this case he had to fully flash stock in order to restore the update ability.

I can't guarantee on S4, as I rooted and flashed a custom ROM. To unroot it's pretty simple, just opening the SuperSU app and select fully unroot.

Good luck,

Hi,

The best would have been if you took a photo of it before sending to the shop. (I did it with mine when I've sent to repair). But try searching every thing on the battery that can show it's fake or not.

If possible try the NFC charging, I wouldn't think a cheap fake battery would have that.

As soon as I get my tablet I send you pictures of my battery, if you want. Also, try recalibrating it.

Hi, so recently, my i9500 has just encountered a severe problem:

I was just using my phone to translate some words, but then, all of a sudden, my phone turned off (it showed the battery is gone sign)

So in boot, I thought that I could just restart it and all will be well, however, that wasn't the case - It kept looping from the S4 i9500 logo to black and then the i9500 logo again - I can't even get to the Samsung logo part.

I tried disconnecting my phone, tried taking out my battery, etc. No avail.

I can not enter recovery mode, and when I'm prompted to go into download mode, my volume buttons don't work and it just restarts by itself.

Even more strangely, whenever I put the battery inside, my phone automatically turns on and the loop of endless reboots continues.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

gt-i9500 + CM11 + Bluetooth Car Kit

Hi folks,

I am running CM 11 (currently 11-20140905-Nightly) on my gt-i9500. Unfortunately I cannot connect it to bluetooth car kits (Tried Hyundai Veloster and Audi A5). Other Bluetooth profiles work. I found some messages stating that the "Bluetooth Car Profile" is missing from the CM 11 images. I wonder if this is something I can fix myself by editing config files, deploying libraries, etc.

I know that this is not specific to this CM version since I tried several previous CM versions.

Thanks,

Hi,

It looks like it's a common issue with CM. Another user tried the same thing and only Touchwiz based ROMs looked to worked. If that's the case I think you should request it in the official CM thread, or just install a TW based ROM.

Questions on flashable kernel

Hi all

I have a E300k variation of Galaxy s4. I have already got my device rooted and ready for change.

I want to make some tweaks to the kernel and flash it back on. I managed to compile the kernel with 'zImage' output.

As far as I am aware of, I need to get the flashable zip. Then unzip it, modify it, rezip it and then flash it.

My question is, where could I find a tutorial on this?

Yes. But you have to manually unroot.

Root it like normal. Follow all the steps.

Then once you are done what you need root for, open the superuser app and there is a button to push to uninstall superuser. The phone will be unrooted.

No signal on S4 i9505 cyanogenmod update?

HI Guys,

Really hope this is the right thread, Still fairly new to cyanogenmod and haven not really done much other than use the regular installer.

I have no signal on my s4 since the latest snapshot update, I can receive calls but to send texts or calls I have to turn on airplane mode then turn it off to get signal. This happens on 4g as well as 3g.

Locking the screen disables signal as far as I can tell, anyone else have this issue and is there a fix somebody could walk me through if you don't mind?

I googled around and seen that it seems to be something to do with the baseband? Will I need to reinstall cyanogenmod completely to fix this or is there something small I can tweak?

What it's mean?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkerTimes:
Normal reboot= the phone boots completely, like when you turn it off and on again. So you see the Samsung logo and so on.

Soft reboot and hotreboot means the same, and this is is when the phone doesn't boots up completely. It only starts android software again and you won't see the Samsung logo, but only the bootanimation. It's called hotreboot, because it doesn't turn off completely before it restarts.

Yes, the problem is related to the baseband. I'm on the same version as you and I'm not facing the same problems.

It's a simple task to fix it, check for the modem thread and download a slightly newer one than yours, sorry but modem is a matter of trial and error, so you'll have to test some version to see which will suit you better.

In my case I'm using XXUFNB8.
