[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] smarcin:
I'm taking a chance on sounding silly, but that's just the way it is on CDMA networks. You can only do one or the other on 3G: voice or data. Being able to use voice and data simultaneously is a perk of 4G, LTE or wifi. Of course, if you have no LTE available where you are, or no wifi, it's voice or data. I know it's frustrating. I live in Minneapolis, Uptown area. We never did get very good Wimax at our house, especially indoors.

When the LTE phones came out, I was in no hurry to upgrade, as there was no LTE anywhere in the Twin Cities. No one could hazard a guess as to when it would be rolled out. The Evo LTE has been out for almost a year, and LTE is finally becoming available. It's still pretty spotty, though. The good thing is, even with a weak signal at my house, I still can get nearly 5000kbps down inside my house. That's a lot better than 3G for sure! Sprint is saying we'll have LTE pretty much throughout the city in the next couple of months. I'll believe that when I see it.

I like my S 4 pretty well. It's still strange getting used to Touch Whiz after Sense. I moved to the S 4 after having the original Evo and then the Evo 3D. I'm looking forward to rooting and being able to run custom ROMS on my S 4.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] myphone12345:
That's not exactly accurate. Some phones can do simultaneous CDMA voice and data. However, it requires extra complexity in the phone (what's called "multiple paths") and with Sprint going to LTE, they decided to put a separate transmit path in the device just for LTE (and Wi-Fi).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LordLugard:
There's no harm in sounding silly. :silly: :p We forgive you. ;)

The Sprint S3 and Evo 4G LTE both do it, it's called SVDO, simultaneous voice and EVDO 3G data (and ofcourse simultaneous voice and LTE and or WiFi).

For some reason, Sprint decided to fore-go SVDO on LTE phones after those two (S3 and Evo 4G LTE) and instead focus on SVLTE. To be fair, in all the years i've been with Sprint (13) i never thought i would ever need or use that feature until i got the S3. The first time i unknowingly used it i didn't even realize that while on a call, i was playing WordFeud multiplayer. It's something i do all the time now, and definitely sad to see it gone on the newer phones.

As their LTE network gets more robust and mature, it won't be much of an issue, but as of now 3G is in more places than their LTE network is. So...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] smarcin:
Thanks to both you guys for setting me straight. I was parroting what I'd always heard from the OG Evo (which I had) and then the 3D, which I just left. Of course, you couldn't do SVDO on either. On the 3D, though, you could do a call + data if on 4G (Wimax), which was and still is, pretty spotty here in Minneapolis-St Paul. Of course, Sprint has been rolling out LTE for a while now. It appears, then disappears a lot. Unfortunately 3G has been awful for months. I will be so thankful when LTE is finally and fully deployed!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LordLugard:
No problem, welcome. We are all here to help and learn from each other along the way. :good:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] quick99si:
Those devices did not support SVDO. I know the S3 and EVO LTE support it, and possible the Nexus LTE (additionally, the newest Optimus maybe?). I really liked this feature when on the phone and being able to quickly check email or pull up traffic info without relying on WiFi.

The S4 does not support simultaneous voice+data, and I believe that anandtech/ars had good articles describing the data paths employed by the HTC One and S4.

What I found interesting is that when the 4G connection drops out and 3G connects, I can just send a text and get 4G back immediately instead of waiting to hop towers. I suspect that a phone call would serve the same purpose.

Also, toggling 4G off and on will get you back the same mobile IP address. This is not the case with 3G, which results in a new IP address being assigned. In order to get a new IP on LTE, you have to toggle airplane mode (which is likely why this is the first step in troubleshooting LTE connectivity).
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] KryptosXLayer2:
Thought I'd help you all out to understand it since you all are sooooo new to having LTE on your phones and all (that was a joke, don't get bent out of shape over it....)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] themuffinman:
Just to be a bit more clear, it was not a sprint decision it is based on Qualcomm's chip design. The s4 krait simply supported svdo out the box and the snapdragon 600 doesn't.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] myphone12345:
I am not sure that is correct. First of all, the 600 is the CPU, not the modem - which is a separate component altogether. Secondly, I believe SVDO support is more a factor of the front end RF design being set up to feed multiple transmit paths to the modem, which in the case of the Qualcomm modem, I believe has the necessary additional ports to handle it. However, it would have necessitated a more complex RF design which Sprint and Samsung probably opted to forgo, given that Sprint's is already getting on the LTE bandwagon.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] themuffinman:
You are absolutely correct but wouldn't that be dependent on whether the modem supported that design?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] myphone12345:
My best guess is that the advanced modem in the S4 could handle it, but to add it on top of SVLTE along with the newer MIMO antenna configurations and multi-band transceivers and switches found in the latest LTE capable handsets would require the addition of another RF chain in the device and thus significantly raise the complexity of the design to a degree that doesn't make it worthwhile for Samsung to implement it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hyelton:
It's not going to happen.... It's a USA cdma limitation it has NOTHING to do with the phone
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] themuffinman:
Yes, for the most part, cdma devices has never been able to do voice and 3g data simultaneously but there is something called svdo which allows supported devices to do just that. The HTC thunderbolt on verizon was one of the first phones to support svdo(simultaneous voice and data over 3g on a cdma network). Getting it to work has absolutely nothing to do with the network but how the phone is designed. Now I am a sprint customer so I don't know what other devices supported it on verizon since but I do know that both sprint and verizon's gs3 both support svdo as well as sprints evo lte and a few other devices.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] myphone12345:
Not true. There have been several devices that could do it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hyelton:
Oh theres plenty!! of devices that support it!! Its the NETWORK that does not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] themuffinman:
You keep talking like the network is preventing it from being possible, yes there are technical obsticals but obviously there are ways around it. So the botton line is, can you have a phone thats on a cdma network that can do voice and 3g data at the same time? That answer is yes
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LordLugard:
Seriously, why are we arguing this much about this? Simultaneous voice AND 3G on Sprint, yes, period. S3 and Evo LTE do it, S4 doesn't. Let's move on to other things.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] brynomon:
All,

So I wanted to switch to TMobile from AT&T. I backed up my rom with the XDAtools to my SD card. Then I loaded the special edition rom... Everything was working and the phone was unlocked.

Then I reloaded my backed up ROM... That was when I got really really mad. The restore went fine, but upon restart.... NOTHING. Now I cannot turn on my device and the LED just blinks red once.

Please help. Any ideas are appreciated. I've had the phone over a year and I believe the warranty has expired.

HELP ME SEYMOUR!!!

***In case anyone was wondering this was formerly a question on asking if sixaxis/wii controllers would sync. Indeed they will. Since then I've turned this thread into a one stop shop on confirmation that console controllers will run on your GS4.***

So has anyone tried sixaxis and/or wii remote syncing to their S4? Even with root, the bluetooth keeps failing.. figured Sammy would've fixed this.

EDIT, 5/22/2013: Indeed, Sixaxis DOES work on the GS4 (and possibly Android 4.2.2 as a whole?), you'll just need the actual sixaxis app and a USB OTG cable.

EDIT, 5/28/2013: No ETA on Wii Remotes unless you're willing to install Cyanogen Mod or something (assuming they put the support back into 4.2.2 Android). However, it IS possible to get a wired XBox 360 pad to work with just a USB OTG cable, even on stock non-rooted firmware.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-F-zMsVbuuA -- my video on getting sixaxis to work on the stock M919UVUAMDL firmware (there's also a quick otter box review FYI)

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D0g5NvtwXFs -- a video made by aLdaRiS demonstrating sixaxis functionality on the Wicked v2 custom firmware (which I believe is based off M919UVUAMDL)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] adventure_of_link:
Alrighty, sorry about that...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] adventure_of_link:
So I guess no one else got either of these to work on their S4s either.. bummer. :(

Guess the only thing I could do is wait for a version of Cyanogen Mod or something to come to the S4 and hope for the best.. (and yes I'm aware that they're working on CM and nightlies are out, personally I'd rather wait for a good, official, stable release before taking the plunge. also I know not to ask for ETAs or when it's out, etc)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aLdaRiS:
so far no.. I tried the sixaxis app as well and it didn't work for me... we r just playing the waiting game... idk abt the wiimote tho... I tried a moga controller and it worked fine.... I might get a moga pro...

Yeah, unless he's running CM (or perhaps he put the code back into the BT stack somehow), it didn't work for me.. OTOH would using a USB OTG cable matter?

Oh yeah, and I made a video review on the moga pro, I just didn't post it here since I didn't know if it should go into Android accessories since it works with pretty much any gingerbread or higher device or do it in this thread, or...

Unless I missed it, I didn't know... see that's the kinda stuff that needs to go into a signature box ;) (EDIT: Apparently there's a whole second page of comments that I somehow missed... *sigh* sorry about that.)

And I guess I'll be giving this Wicked v2 a try pretty soon then. And thanks for the video.

Stock firmware on Android 4.2.x anything doesn't have the BT bits to get sixaxis or Wii Remotes to work.. doesn't matter if it's this GS4, the note 2 (when it's upgraded of course), HTC one, Nexus 7 (and that's as stock of Android as it gets, mind you), etc

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] adventure_of_link:
Okay. So to bring closure to this thread, and thanks to aLdaRiS, I now have sixaxis working (almost) like a charm on my GS4... main but minor thing to keep in mind is that some apps (like Robert Broglia's emulators and IIRC ePSXe) detect the PS3 pad's presence but still wants to use it as Gamepad 0.. -shrug- oh well, at least both sticks work somewhat fluently and the game pad plays nice all the same.

So TL;DR: Sixaxis DOES indeed work on the GS4 and Android 4.2.2 as a whole (still need to test on the Nexus 7 to be sure), you'll just need a USB OTG cable and not believe what the tester tells ya I suppose. -shrugs-

Some of it I was wired to the phone, and some of it I wasn't. It'd be nice if I can figure out why ape escape behaves like it does...

Now it syncs wirelessly, and I ordered a second PS3 pad off Amazoon. a nice blue one (though I prolly should've gotten the gray or white one), OEM of course.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] aLdaRiS:
nah even in the app it tells you it works w knockoffs

Sent from my SGH-M919
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] adventure_of_link:
Okay, so now I figured out why Ape Escape behaves like it does.

Apparently for some stupid reason both the left stick and the control pad are somehow mapped the same (despite sixaxis having the D-pad and left stick mapped as it should and ePSXe reflects this, obviously). and yes, I can go in as digital pad only, play Final Fantasy 7, and still use the stick to move the guy/cursor. This does it on the Nexus 7 also. I've tried to find settings similar to use the left axis as D-pad, etc. (be it in the individual emulators, Sixaxis, or whatever), no dice.

What's wrong with this picture? :S
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] adventure_of_link:
Okay. I figured out two things:

this is/was the way ePSXe was coded. this has since been fixed.

This is because I had the PS3 pad synced with bluetooth rather than a USB OTG cable (D'OH!!). To make matters worse, the BT sync still worked even when plugged into the GS4.

In any case, it's simple enough: start sixaxis, then plug in your controller with USB OTG, no need to sync with bluetooth (although you can still do it when you disconnect the controller). Just a fair warning, when you need to charge your droid or whatever, you're SOL and will need to sync. However, you can recharge the controller also. So win-win. :)

For anyone who has issue with GPS, I also had a problem after flashing CM10 [edit. Accidentally hit submit]. I created a recovery of my then current CM10 setup, flashed back to my stock recovery, installed GPS Test, took the device outside and let it get a good, strong lock, then flashed back to my CM10 recovery. I have had little issue with GPS since then, even after flashing new builds almost daily.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
Did you get it resolved...?

Skrilax had a similar issue with GPS, and his process was to flash the JB soak test, then flash 10.1 and you should be good.

First, thanks to anyone in advance who can help me get TWRP on my TF700. Some info:

ROM: Asus stock build JR003C.US_epad-10.4.4.25-20121228 (4.1.1, rooted)

Bootloader: US_epad-10.4.4.25-20121228 (unlocked)

Since I am rooted and unlocked, I took the simple approach of installing GooManager. In GooManager I used the Install OpenRecoveryScript menu item. GooManager downloaded and flashed openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf700t.blob.

I then rebooted into recovery from GooManager. TWRP does not load. Instead, I get a picture of the android robot lying on its back with a red triangle and "!".

I tried repeating the above twice just to make sure and the behavior was the same.

So instead of GooManager I tried installing TWRP via fastboot. Holding down power and volume- together I booted into the bootloader selection menu and selected fastboot mode. I have all the ADT tools installed. I installed openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf700t.blob using fastboot:

fastboot -i 0x0B05 flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf700t.blob

fastboot succeed writing the recovery. However, when I reboot and select RCK from the bootloader I still get the red triangle screen.

I've repeated flashing TWRP via fastboot several times with the same results.

I must be missing something simple. Thanks in advance for your help.

What you did doesn't look wrong. Are you sure your bootloader is unlocked?

You could also try the third way to install TWRP, via the staging partition: Move the blob to the device and run these commands in an adb shell:

su

dd if=/sdcard/openrecovery-twrp-2.5.0.0-tf700t.blob of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p4

Then reboot. The bootloader should show a blue (slightly broken) progress bar when it copies the recovery from the staging partition to the recovery partition.
[Asus Transformer TF700] lmaugustin:
Thank you. This wasn't the problem, but prompting me to go into a shell and poke around a bit did solve my problem.

I noticed the number of bytes written on the dd looked odd, so I checked the md5sum. It was a corrupt twrp download.

I downloaded the TWRP image file again, verified the md5sum, flashed it, and it worked.

My apologies for bothering everyone with the thread.
