hi guys, first I can not write in English, I am using a translator, I am Brazilian (unfortunately)

My problem is the following:

I updated my Galaxy S4 i9500 for CM13 6.0.1 Optimized

It worked okay, just a few bugs in the camera, but my biggest problem is being in the microphone volume is very low, and this problem had in my old update that was the lollipop, but in Lollipop I activated Speakerphone and wore it well

Now the CM13 to the speaker the audio goes down, WhatsApp recordings come down

I've been looking at that mixer_patch.xml file, but do not know where I can try to change some value there to see if I can solve my problem

I hope you can help me in this

Excuse my English, I hope it is understandable

Thank you

Does this phone samsung galaxy s4 i9505 with android 5.0.1 support quick charger like this or this or this?

And which one you suggest me to buy?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
The android version doesn't matter here, the technology inside is what matters.

The S4 supposedly supports Quick Charge 1.0.

The chargers you listed are 2.0 and higher.

In other words, you can buy one of those chargers, but don't expect 0-100 charge in 30 minutes.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

What do you mean by microphone volume is too low? I couldn't understand if it was the phone speaker or if it was recording audio... Have you tried another ROM? Maybe even go back to stock after all it could be a hardware problem...

If it makes you feel more confident, send your message in English like you did then put under HIDE tags your original message in Portuguese.

Like this

All the best,

No i want ot fully charge the mpj 3500mah i have at my phone at 2-3 hours.

So if i buy any of these quick charger i write my previews post it can fully charge the battery at 2-3 hours?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
My charger (The original charger that Samsung provided with the phone) charges the phone with 1900mAh.

So that's 1900 mA per hour.

At that rate, your 3500mAh battery should be full in less that two hours.

I don't think the S4 can charge with a current higher than 1900. So this is probably the maximum you can get.

my mobile samsung s4 i9505 not working motherboard problem.................... i want ask motherboard s4 i9500 its working on s4 i9505
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AntaresOne:
Hello,

The backplate of the LCD frame from i9505 has a different layout, therefore an i9500 motherboard won't fit.

The phone will be fully working but:

Middle frame won't close

More heat because integrated circuits don't touch the backplate, so are not cooling enough (related to the "different layout")

Another option would be to replace the i9505 LCD frame with an i9500 one, but this requires ungluing and gluing back with a high risk of damage... At this point is better to find i9505 motherboard.

Unusable GPS

Hi All,

I have an i9506 previously stock 4.42 (Hungary I9506XXUCNI1 firm), later switched to I9506XXUBNA2 then 9506XXUDOJ2 which now serves base for kyasu's 13.0-20160323-SNAPSHOT-ZNH0E-ks01lte.

A month ago I realised that the GPS finds position really-really slow - if it finds any after 25 km ride.

Even if it is able to find the position, it looses quickly.

Waze and iGO Primo are unable to work / navigate.

I shortly switched back to stock ROM but the problem stayed.

Do you think that a custom ROM could have something to do with the GPS problem?

Any tips how to narrow the root cause possibilities?

Maybe the GPS hardware is faulty? In 1,5 years the phone had no more than 5 ground hits. In theory this could cause a faulty GPS...

Need Help:: S4 I9505 on bootloop

Been using latest Imperium LL Rom and kernel without any issues. All of a sudden today ,the phone is on bootloop . Cannot boot to recovery mode (using 3.0 TWRP ). But can boot to download mode. Tried flashing using odin latest TWRP 3.0.2 but FAIL. Error shows Get Pit for mapping ,There is no PIT partition . Tried flashing pit file for I9505 (Odin shows PASS )without the stock firmware but still on bootloop. And still cannot flash using odin any TWRP recovery(still FAIL and same error there is no PIT partition). What should be the next best option after this? Any help ,suggestion link is highly appreciated. If i do need to flash any stock firmware , which firmware do you guys reccomend? thanks in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
Hello,

First off, a PIT file only works if you flash it with a stock firmware and the re-partitiom option. The PIT (Partition Information Table) reformats the entire phone. So I don't think it works without pairing it with a stock firmware.

Now, Odin errors are caused by several reasons. Some of which are:

USB cable

USB port (back port is recommended)

Odin version

Windows version.

I have successfully used Odin 3.09 and Windows 7 in the past. On Windows 10 I also had some issues even though I used the same combination as before, except for Windows.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rennpel:
Thank you for that info. The reason i tried flashing PIT file without the stock firmware because on samersh72 thread , some people reported that it works for them, i guess not on my phone. Regarding the odin error, i have tried using different usb cable , usb ports on the PC but same thing. Im using ODIN 3.10.7 on windows 7 Ultimate 64bit. Although i have never experience this error on any ODIN with different Samsung phones before. So I'm assuming the phone has a corrupted partition table. So do you think the best option is to flash stock firmware with the PIT file? and which stock firmware do you recommend for I9505 . For the PIT file there is only one file for I9505 , am i right ? Thank you again
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zephael:
Solved with GPS antenna - middle plastic part of the phone - change.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhoban:
PIT files are relative to internal storage size. In other words, for a 16 GB internal storage you need the 16 GB PIT file (the file isn't actually 16 GB big).

As for the firmware, I always recommend using the latest one for your carrier and country.

But If you have a phone with a locked bootloader (Verizon, AT&T), then don't flash the latest firmware or you won't be able to flash custom ROMs on it.

Oh, and yes, there are specific files for each S4 model and for each internal storage size. The PIT file can be extracted from any phone, but it needs to be able to boot.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhuvan9111:
Can you be more specific, like is the phone rooted or has recovery or bootloop after flashing new rom something like that.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Firefly__:
I was trying to get stock android

You don't have to use Odin to flash custom roms. Odin is used for stock roms and some other stuff.
The rom I will be suggesting you is a custom rom based on the aosp project. It is android, like you find on the nexus phones, but without google apps.

Are you trying to make a batch backup with titanium? Try backing up separately. You only need your user installed apps anyway.
Custom roms are generally pre-rooted (this one is). So, yes, you just download titanium backup and restore stuff.
Note: titanium backup uses the internal storage by default.

And what does unlocking have to do with this? You mean carrier unlock?

Anyway, the procedure would be:
Get a custom recovery.
TWRP is recommended. You can find it here.
They also have install instructions. You can either use the Odin method (remeber to untick auto-reboot in Odin if you are using this method) or you could download the app Flashify and flash the twrp.img using that app.
Get the rom zip and gapps zip (select arm, 6.0, and whatever package you like. Pico is the smallest), put them on the sdcard and boot into twrp recovery.

Now, on twrp recovery you go to wipe and select advaced wipe. Then select the following: data, cache, dalvik, system.
Wait for it to finish. Then go back and select install.
Note: twrp uses the internal storage by default. You have to select the sd card manually
When you hit install it will take you to a file browser. Above is a bar that allows you to select the storage. Select the sdcard and browse to where you downloaded the rom and gapps. Flash rom then flash gapps. After it is done, reboot. Profit.

After flashing gapps it just goes to Samsung screen and stops. idk if it would still be rooted cause I wiped it, either way I can't get on it.

---------- Post added at 11:03 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:02 AM ----------

TWRP > rom > gapps. I'm guessing I ****ed up, maybe had the wrong rom. I tried reseting to stock S4 but it failed.

My phone now shows a "firmware upgrade encountered an issue, Please select ercovery mode in kies and try again." But I can't get kies.

Do you want to go complete stock (stock recovery and no root ) or will need to keep that recovery and root but need stock rom.

1.Full stock

1.open sammobile.com and download the latest firmware from the firmware section for your corresponding s4 model

2. Download odin3 in your pc and extract the stock firmware zip and you will find a tar.md5 file

3. Connect your device in download mode ( volume down+home+power until you see Warning mode then follow the instructions to enter download mode )

4. Make sure you have the com:3 or something like that go in green or blue colour in odin3

5. Then select the tar.md5 via AP section in the odin3 then click on the start button.

6. Once odin3 says finished then let the phone boot by itself.

7. If the phone boots by itself then everything is good. If it doesnt boot then remove the battery and try rebooting.

8. If the 7th step doesn't work just enter in to stock recovery ( volume up+home+power ) and click on factory reset. And wait for it to boot. This will work for sure if you have done everything correct in above all steps.

2.if you want root and recovery with stock rom.

1. Since you already have custom

recovery in you phone just search for a deodexed or stock rooted rom for your phone model in corresponding xda forum and download it.

2. Transfer it to your sd card since your phone is not booting.

3. In twrp select wipe data factory reset and flash the stock rooted rom or stock rom from sd card and enjoy.

Hit like of this helps you.

Can't enable wifi

Hi,

I have a new S4 i9505 (delivered with Lollipop 5.01).

I have been trying to root without tripping the KNOX warranty counter.

I tried the method given on XDA (downgrade to 4.4.2 GNG8 with GNF1 kernel - using Odin, root with TowelRoot, upgrade to 5.01 XXHOJ2 usin Mobile Odin, everroot, and the Update super user.zip as ota /zip). This did not work as mobile odin failed to complete every time I tried (giving me various boot loops and the like).

But did work going from Kitkat 4.4.2 to Lollipop XXUHOJ2 using flashfire instead of mobile odin.

Only issue is I cannot (currently) enable the wifi - the slider will not move to on and just immediately returns to off. I have tried flashing (with Odin) the lollipop kernel, and also reflashed again (with Odin) the BL and the modems just for good measure (XXUHPA1) but still not able to enable wifi... I will try a few more factory resets but honestly I have no idea how to get the wifi to allow it to be switched on and am tempted to flash the full HHUHOJ2 from Odin and forget the KNOX warranty (though my phone is new (!) ad has full Samsung warranty still on it). I have tried pulling that battery and have tried stating the phone in safe mode but the behaviour remains the same.

I have attached a logcat file showing what happens when I try to enable the wifi...
