Hello. I recently got a new S4 on T-Mobile (Model SGH-M919) and I have been searching for about 3 hours now with hardly any luck whatsoever...

So far all I have found out is that it is still under testing by T-Mobile but isn't on the list as testing on the T-Mobile site. The release of Lollipop for the S4 was delayed because of a massive amount of bugs and flaws mainly with the TouchWiz setup. Although, I am not sure if this is true...

I am trying to find out when T-Mobile is planning on releasing Lollipop for the S4.

Cannot change brightness

Hi,

GT-i9500

running on latest stock rom.

just finished changing LCD (replacement) on device.

Everything work fine except i cannot change the brightness.

Even after disabling auto brightness control and slide to further left, the screen is still bright.

things i have tried:

- installed and tested 3rd party app for brightness control. still same.

- tried playing a video in mx player and used its brightness control feature for test.also seemed to fail me.

- i have checked that i am not on power saving mode.

already tried youtube and google for research. found nothing at the moment that is suited to the issue. i am not asking for spoonfeed. looks like you guys have the knowledge than others on net i assume. please help.

thank you all.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Skipjacks:
The screen works though?

That is weird. There is no backlight like there is on an LCD panel. So its not like you just missed a connection or anything.

Is it an official Samsung panel? Like confirmed official...not one that is supposed to be official that says Bamsung on the box? Or spells LED wrong?

You cant break the phone by trying it.

But do a full backup first because you will kill the rom beyond repair. You probably wont even be able to fix it simply by putting the original file back.

Because you are changing major system files that are critical to the operation of a ROM. And you're trying to interchange system files from 2 very different versions of Android and 2 different ROM's.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Hi Guys,

I've got a really annoying problem that i'd like to fix.

Everytime I flash a custom rom, the wifi has issues.

Sometimes it works fine, sometimes the connection drops or the connection isn't good.

When flashing custom lollipop roms, the wifi icon and mobile connection icons have sometimes an exclamation mark next to them.

I tried updating my modem,bootloader, and flashing WIFI_FIX.tar,with this page, but that didn't help.

I also tried removing wpa_supplicant.conf in '/data/misc/wifi', but that didn't work.

When I went back to the stock touchwiz rom, the wifi worked again. But in touchwiz there is an option called something like: 'wifi power saving mode' when dialing #0011#, which i can't find on any custom rom.

What do I need to do?

Thanks in advance,

Hi.

Again- Galaxy S4 SGH-M919

The headphones keep crackling and popping every so often. Normally I have to force music to stop, restart, open music, disable and then re-enable Adapt Sound but with as often as it does this it is getting kind of annoying... as far as I can find this is a impedance issue but it is found only with headphones besides the ones that come with the S4. I am using the headphones that come with S4.

Any help would be gladly appreciated. Just bought this phone and it cost me $400, can't afford to change and love listening to music.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deleater:
Hello again! :)

I have some news and I think I need another advice. Hope You can give an answer to my new question:

I've installed new battery, it works pretty smoothly and everything's quite alright... except 2 things.

Thing 1) there still are some random reboots, but I guess it's about software now. There are no bootloops anymore, but after a random reboot system still starts resources initialisation. Unlike before, it initializes just few programms.

Thing 2) problem with wrong charge percentage number still exists, but with lesser range. It was like up to 35% error with old battery, after replacement it was 9% once, and than about 1-3%. It doesn't make a big problem afterall, but it makes me a bit nervous.

And one more thing: Idk why, but the speed of system's work at the star, right after it boots, has dropped significantly. I have to wait around 2 minutes before I can use the phone after it reboots.

Might that all mean there are some harware problems left?

UPD Ah, I remember now that this slowdown I was talking about occured after formating the int. storage. At least, I've tried to format it to ext4, but I'm not sure it worked out... After that I've fromated it back to [default], so I guess it's NTFS now again. Connection with my PC (using Win 7) is ok, and I didn't notice any problems for apps while reading the data, except I had a strange experience when one of the games I"ve been testing for myself was very laggy at loading ingame data points. It had quite huge data, so I thought it's about that value, but now I'm not so sure.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XxLordxX:
Hi,

I suggest you to reinstall the software if you think it is having problems, unless the battery is overheating it shouldn't cause any problem in the performance.

For the wrong read, as long as it is 1-3% there's nothing to worry about, it may be some small divergence and it won't directly affect your battery life.

All the best,

~Lord

Network issues

Hi, I'll get right to it.

I tried every possible ROM with Android 5.1 and with each one I have the exact same problem, which nobody else online seems to have.

I'm losing network connectivity i.e. now everything is fine, but it seems to lose connection when I turn the screen off. The funny thing is, I can receive calls and sms while no connection but I can't make a call or send sms from my phone!? Then I go to network settings and in preferred network type I switch to 2G or 3G and switch back to LTE and it works again. It doesn't matter which option is chosen, same thing happens with all of them.

How can I resolve this?

Galaxy S4 - jfltexx

ROM - AICP version 10.0 nightly

Android - 5.1.1

Baseband - I9505XXUBMEA

Kernel version - Linux version 3.4.107-cyanogenmod-g9413acd (gcc version 4.8 (GCC))

P.s. If you need other info from my phone, comment and I'll post immediately.

Thanks!

Related to i9505

I flashed PhoeniX v11 and then v11.6 OTA. I did clean flash n then used kernel script cleaner provided in imperium kernel thread n then flashed imperium kernel v2.5a

The problem I'm facing is that my battery percentage keeps jumping while charging..It says 100 percent n I take it off the charge n it shows 86 %(87-88, 95-96, just any random number) immediately. Then charge again n goes to 100 percent in 2 minutes.

Then when I use my phone (moderate usage), the battery goes down from 100 to 75 percent in almost an hour. n then stays stable till 50 percent. But after that it starts dropping down very quickly, it goes from 50 to 1 in an hour..

This morning I was in bed browsing Reddit when my phone suddenly crashed and rebooted.

I put it aside to let it boot up, but after a few minutes when I looked at it the screen was just white. Rebooted it again, it then went into boot loop at the splash screen.

I attempted to get into recovery, but to no avail.

Attempted a few more restarts to get the phone up and running but no luck.

So I decided I must flash stock firmware onto it. Did that through Odin, seemed to be successful according to Odin, but my phone stays on the splash screen while it says "recovery booting" in the top left corner. After a while it boots up again, this time only the splash screen, no text in the top corner. But its stuck in a boot loop.

I then attempted to flash the firmware on again with the PIT file, again same situation.

Flashed firmware and PIT file, then flashed philz touch recovery and still stuck on the splash screen.

I'm at a loss as to what steps to take next..

measure twice, cut once

Hi,

I have an i9505 that has been flashed a few times to try to deal with various GPS problems. It has also developed a couple of other strange problems, so I'm thinking about taking it to the official Samsung repair shop. It's out of warranty so I don't care about Knox issues, etc. If the shop quotes a repair price too high, I'll just replace it. But I don't want them to just hand it back and say 'you rooted it/flashed it, we won't even look at it', so I want to go back to the stock ROM it came with before I take it in. Who knows, maybe that will solve the problems. So. Here's the sitch:

Settings - About device:

Android ver 4.4.2

Baseband: I9505XXUGNK4

Build: KOT49H.I9505XXUGNK4

*#12580*369# SW & HW Info tells me:

AP: I9505XXUGNK4

CP: I9505XXUGNK4

CSC: I9505OXAGNK4

RF cal: none

HW rev: Not Acti

Bootloader: I9505XXUGNK4

Recovery: TWRP v2.8.3.0

Besides applying the .tar for XXUGNG8 (which was the original stock for this phone) with Odin, do I also need to downgrade the Bootloader/Modem, or any other component? (Is it even possible to downgrade those things?) Repartition? will the earlier GNG8 Rom work properly with all of the other components upgraded?

I like to research before I brick things, so all input is appreciated.
