Cheers. Thanks for the help! Guess just sit and wait. Though I know a few people who have upgraded their firmware and then were able to get the LTE option. If I did change to say 4.4.2, would I still be able to get the official Kies update when it comes out?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joery1983:
I'm not really sure. I have never waited for an official update. Remember that by flashing 4.4.2 firmware you won't be able to downgrade back to 4.3 firmware so be absolutely certain that you want it.

If you are rooted you can try this to force LTE support. It used to work on TW ROM's in the past. I abandoned Samsung FW since they introduced knox, so I can't test it.

Using Root Explorer or something similar go to data >property>persist.radio.lteon.xml open the file in Text Editor and change the value to true. Save and Exit and Reboot

According to my provider, Three Ireland, 4G is available in my area. According to them its a problem with Samsung delaying an update. But now that I have the LTE option, I dont understand why I cant receive it..
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joery1983:
The only thing you've done whas force your phone to show the LTE option. It doesn't force LTE on your phone. So it whas merely a cosmetic chance. Again MKF does support LTE so it is the coverage of your provider they are just simply trying to blame Samsung for a fault that lays whit them.

You need to make sure LTE is included in your subscription. Your provider having LTE isn't enough. Your SIM needs to be LTE ready and your subscription needs to have it included.

Are you absolutely sure because it only tells your phone to make the LTE option visible so if you don't have LTE coverage you'll not be able to receive LTE by simply making it visible

[Q] Can I use the SHV-E330S (or Galaxy Round) in the USA on AT&T LTE?

The LTE frequencies used by AT&T (850/1800MHz) are the same as the LTE frequencies used on these phones (also 850/1800MHz). Considering these are unlocked phones, could I use them with AT&T's LTE network in the USA? I'd love to get some of that Snapdragon 800 power in the S4 but not if I couldn't use LTE.

My phone after trying to flash OMEGA's v21.1 ROM (which didn't work because I got stuck in the boot loop) I tried installed a 4.3 rom in order to get my phone to be usable. But then I found out that I could not play any media (music on any music player, streams on twitch, videos on youtube, etc).

first off thanks to everyone! the guides were helpful and there was no problem at all. the phones working as its supposed to!

my question is, when i connect the phone to PC it says 5.85gb free of 9.13gb

i have a 16gb model. can i know where the 6gb of storage disappeared to?:confused:

i performed the following in CWM recovery menu:

Wipe data/Factory reset

Wipe Dalvik Cache

did i do miss anything to wipe? 6gigs is quite a lot. I wouldnt mind installing the rom again if i can get more space :D

You had the same amount before you flashed cm. The other gigs are just for system and system apps. Most manufacturers do this they promise you 16 but use the same 16 to place there one bloatware and system files.

In order to remain knox-free , you must go the custom route.

Install custom recovery ,and then , a custom ROM.

Be careful though , because some of the latest 4.4.2 ROMS are still installing the new knox bootloader.

This will give you the installation advice and warnings.

I think the GE ROMS should still be fine , as they are not TouchWiz.

Freeze/reboot problems

Well I have been reading up on things (including my own weak explanation :p) - and after reading alot about battery issues I took out my battery and saw it spin away on the table :D - Then I tried to provoke a reboot but with the charger connected its all fine - so now I'm eagerly awaiting the new battery I ordered

---

Hi all - I'm very frustrated about the state of my phone

What is happening: My phone suddenly "shuts of the screen" it does not reboot just turns black. When holding down power it will then reboot, but then it will stall at the second boot logo. Pulling out the battery and rebooting again will make it start (but it will again do the same in matter of minutes or hours). I see no pattern in this, as it will happen while browsing, in settings, in various apps, or just in my pocket.

I have tried many different roms (even turned back to stock rom), and almost every possible modems.

I guess that it is related to LTE, as I can see that when it happens I have weak LTE signal (1 bar), also I cannot change prefered network mode. In settings the button is at LTE - when changing to GSM/WCDMA/LTE nothing happens and when trying to change to GSM/WCDMA settings will close and I get a message stating that the process com.android.phone has stopped.

Also when I turn off mobile data the phone doesn't freeze - but thats not a solution - I want mobile data ;O)

Could it be some kind of hardware error (is there a way to investigate that?) or do any of you have an alternative answer to my problems?

Phone: GTi9505 (many different setups but right now: Android 4.4.2 with slim-4.4.2.build2.6.RC2 and modem XXUFNA5) - I'm located in Denmark and using Bibob/Telenor

BTW: Before this happened I had another (similar) problem - the mobile network goes on and off (mostly off) - I then tried different modems, and now I ended up with these above stated freeze scenarios.

You cannot use any of the 4.4.2 custom roms here unless you first go to

which one is the modem? what do you mean by flashing it twice without reboot? flash all 4 twice without reboot?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joery1983:
The modem is the CP file. Flash twice without reboot means that you untick auto reboot after odin says pass, remove the battery of your phone, put it back in, go in to download mode and flash it again. Then reboot.

But again since you said that wifi wasn't your only problem I strongly recommend you to reflash al files. You can do this just once. Before flashing do a complete wipe so factory reset and cache if you have a custom recovery wipe dalvik cache as well. After pass don't reboot like you normally would, but boot into recovery and again wipe cache and factory reset, then reboot. Let it settle so let it reboot and leave it for a couple of minutes after reboot, than see if all is okay.

re: custom roms

None of the custom roms including Cyan, Aosp or 4.4.2 custom cwm/twrp flashable zip file roms

contain bootloaders.

If you flash Cyan, Aosp cwm/twrp flashable roms you do not need to Odin flash the official stock

You would only need to Odin flash the official 4.4.2 stock firmware first is if you wanted to flash
