Hi guys, I am from Germany and have a little question. (Galaxy S4 I9505)

I flashed a HOC3 Rom

(Hong Kong Multilanguage)

AP is HOC3

CP is HOD7

and CSC is HOC 3

does it make a data connection difference if I flash a europe HOB7 Rom with the matching bootloader and modem ??

or any performance difference ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CarlM34:
Hi there,

It is advisable to flash a rom close to your region!

Are you completely stock? There is a new Germany firmware out XXUHOD7 now........you can find it on sammobile.

okay so i flashed

this rom:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s4/i9505-develop/rom-albe95-s6-port-1-0-t3092479

If I flash a stock rom over everything is gone right ?

Or can i flash the bootloader and modem of the DBT rom ? So Iam nearly stock ?

can i also flash the right csc form XXUHOD7 ? over my HOC3 or must be the rom and the csc the same ?

Okay i've done my research and searched the forums,

I've got a gt-i9508 only 1 Sim, which means it's the snapdragon 600 version very similar to the i9505, now i've been trying to find Stock Roms to flash them via Odin, and i've only found Roms directed to the I9508 DUOS version, which doesn't have the snapdragon. So my questions are:

Can i flash I9508 Duos Roms to my I9508 1-Sim S4? for example from this website http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9508.

or Can i flash i9505 Stock Roms and later flash the Modem from my original i9508 (if i find a rom with the modem)

or where can i find Stock Roms for the 1sim i9508?

I haven't bought the phone yet, but I was wondering if the Canadians here could answer my question.

I'm planning to get the phone, I'm currently on Bell Mobility and have the GS3, which is identical to the AT&T model (SGH-i747M), for those Canadians who already have the S4 through Bell or another Canadian carrier, were you given the i9505 or one of the US models?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] McDan1el:
Ok,

So I was going to go to Walmart and get a Galaxy S4 sim free, will this have any physical AT&T branding at all, will it be fully unlocked to any carrier? I am only visiting the US before moving to Canada so want to make sure I can put a Canadian Sim In and get full speeds,I will prob just get a pay monthly contract in Canada, after that I move back to the UK no LTE there so shouldn't be any problems.

Also does the S4use full or micro sim? just not sure if its risky buying it from Walmart now or waiting till I hit Canada, or any other considerations to take!

Help please!

P.S I currently have a tmobile Walmart family full sim while I am in the US along with my UK Vodafone sim (I swap between em) so the S4 will prob use the Walmart monthly sim until Canada

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paddington:
Hey guys. I am an N4 user, but I just bought my girlfriend a GS4. She's discovered a problem that I can't find an answer to.

Is there a way to have text messages preview ONLY in the status bar and notifications? It is very useful to have the preview of the message in the status bar and expanded notifications. However, it seems that the only way to enable this is to simultaneously enable the preview on the lock screen. Even with a secure lock screen, the preview of the message is still there. It seems odd for the control for two completely severable features to be bundled together in this manner. This creates a completely unnecessary compromise between convenience and security. Not to mention that even with the preview option turned off, a message identifying the sender still shows up on even a secure lock screen. I am thinking that I must be missing something in the widgets options, and I can remove this text "widget" (which is exactly what it is in practice) completely from the lock screen without sacrificing the convenience of previewing the message through the status bar and expanded notifications.

So, any advice? I'm guessing switching to a third-party messaging app might work, but I (and she) heavily prefer the stock messaging apps. I am looking to avoid this and simply find a solution while still allowing for the stock messaging app. I am going to try Lockscreen Policy in a few, and I'll report back on that. The idea came to me while typing this up.

EDIT: Looks like Lockscreen Policy did the trick. The message still previews in the status bar on the lock screen, but the text message widget that was the major problem is now gone. Unfortunately this trick prevents access to all other lock screen widgets, but I don't use them anyway.

[Q] Wifi switching to unwanted network, can I stop this?

I have two wireless networks in my house, both have separate ssids...it's signal strength thing depending on where I am in the house. When I am upstairs at my computer desk where one of my wireless routers is located, I will manually switch to that network to get better signal strength for wifi calling. For some reason my s4 constantly switches back to the downstairs router with barely any signal strength and as soon as I get a call the phone warns me about dropping the call due to signal strength. I'm not sure why the phone continues to switch back to the downstairs router with almost no connectivity even though I've manually switched it to the router I'm sitting right next to and have max signal strength.

Any thoughts on this? I've never run into any electronic device that switches from one network to another when the first router is still in range, and certainly never one that switches from great strength to barely above non existent strength.

Thanks for any help!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:

odin is just a tool.

those tar.md5 files are taken from threads corresponding with content of the file (ROM / bootloader / modem / recovery / etc)

not sure if it will work for 4.4.2 on your device but you might check CF-auto-root by chainfire

http://autoroot.chainfire.eu - this lists tar.md5 files (odin flashable section)

i9506 is listed as 5.0.1 so it might not work

but my i9505 is listed as 4.4.2 and it worked on 5.0.1 as well - proceed at your own risk

beware - this method triggers KNOX - you are permanently voiding your warranty - impossible to reset KNOX back to 0x0 (at least no method that I know of)

If it voids his warranty depends on the country he lives in. For example in the Netherlands Samsung made a statement that rooting, flashing and even bricking a phone will never void warranty.

In the EU your consumer rights prohibit the store you bought the phone from not repairing the phone when you rooted etc. So also in Poland the store has to fix the phone if it's a hardware failure.

It should work. But if you're not sure you know what you're doing you probably shouldn't do it. You can screw up a phone using Odin if you don't set the transfer up properly. I suggest reading the instructions thoroughly (a quick search on XDA will show you 100 threads on how to use Odin) and then reading them again a few times before starting.

You'll have to look at the download site to determine which software package to install.

It will not be relocked. Once it's unlocked it's unlocked.
