Both Sprint and other providers. I have issues with my step brother who is in the same plan as I, and I have issues with my mom who is on AT&T.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Darkshneider:
What about signatures, any of you use them? If not, give Sprint a call, have them check your line.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Teeeejay:
No signatures. I'm on the phone with Sprint right now.

Youre not using your HTC One, are you? Good luck then.

Calling from my house phone if that's what you mean.

Disabling Google Voice Sprint integration fixed the issue. Kind of an odd fix, but maybe this will help someone else.

Oh God. Google needs to fix that. I've on many occasions had to disable Google voice due to missed calls and other issues.

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] Teeeejay:
I completely agree. I had a previous instance (about two years ago) where calls just wouldn't come through, and texts would come really late unless through their app. I had to disable it then, too. I like Google Voice a lot, but it's so buggy.

Hi I wanted to buy this pone from amazon, but the thing is that I would buy the sprint versión with no contract and I don't live in the US, so my question is, can I unlock this pone to use it with any other company? like Movistar? I read that the pone was GSM so I thought it would be posible, however I won't take the risk of paying 590 dollars for a pone that I can't use, thanks

Won't work. Sprint is NOT gsm
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LIAM83:
if you dont know dont tell !! sprint s4 (gsm-cdma) but gsm its locked (low level lock )
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hyelton:
What do you mean if I dont know dont tell? What does that supposed to mean?

I KNOW my Cellular Networks!

Sprint is a CDMA Network!

The ONLY part about sprint that is NOT CDMA is LTE which the sim card slot is LOCKED to sprint.

They MIGHT be a fix but right now there is NOT. Some of the older phones like the Moto Photon its not LTE but its a world phone and people could flash a few things and make it work, But only EDGE in the USA anyway.

But as of right now and problay for a while its NOT going to work.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LIAM83:
Thats right sprint CDMA provider YES! but sprint announce more cdma-gsm phones (like blackberry) now sprint sell locked phones (htcone , S4)and this man need know maybe he unlock phone for him country(i think he live in spain(movistar as i know its spain company! right now he not can use gsm in this phone but i think i found solution maybe via nv maybe via modem patch !

sorry for my english )its not my own language !
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hyelton:
Modem patch is not even possible with this phone right now... The phones are ONLY meant to run on GSM for LTE data and NOTHING ELSE
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] LIAM83:
bro you not right ! not only for lte data ! if we unlock this phone we can use it in at&t voice and data and t-mobile too ! belive me i know all about samsung phones !!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] myphone12345:
I expect Sprint will provide a method soon to unlock the GSM and UMTS functions in the phone to be able to use it internationally. However, I don't expect the GSM and UMTS functions to operate inside the US. Sprint has always disabld them on GSM capable Android and iOS devices it sells.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lafester:
I don't see why it wouldn't work for you as long as you can get it unlocked.

Sprint is not going to unlock it for you unless you are a long time customer or have the phone with them for 90 days.

hyelton is completely wrong though.. the sim does authenticate lte on sprint but also acts as a gsm sim internationally.

you can also remove the sim and insert any international sim once unlocked providing the carrier uses the correct bands.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] BamAlmighty:
You are all kinds of WRONG.

Sprint's GS4 is fully capable of voice and data on international GSM/HSPA+/UMTS 850/900/1900/2100MHz networks. You have to request Sprint to unlock your phone's sim (or find a work around if you're not a Sprint customer), but once unlocked you can pop in any international sim and it will WORK JUST FINE on international GSM networks, they don't have to support LTE. Heck the only thing preventing the SG4 from working on US GSM networks is Sprint locked the Sim from using USofA GSM carrier sim cards.

As long as the OP can get their Sprint SG4 sim unlocked, they can pop in their international sim and use the GSM in their country NO PROBLEM like any other GSM phone.

SO ONCE AGAIN, Sprint's SG4 has a fully functioning GSM modem that supports international carrier GSM/HSPA+/UMTS 850/900/1900/2100MHz bands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You would think someone with almost 2,000 posts and who made a statement like "I KNOW my Cellular Networks!" would know better. Do yourself a huge favor and actually know what you're talking about before you go spouting off again, because you really made yourself look like an ignorant fool.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hyelton:
Well YES you can easily use your phone overseas, But it was POSTED in the Sprint Forum which is ONLY in the USA and in which using it does NOT apply in the USA. And to get the phone unlocked I`m not sure if a regular unlocking company would be able to do it someone with a sprint account would and it would be MUCH more trouble than just to pick up a ACTUAL GSM carriers Version of the phone.( I should had just said that to begin with) Its VERY pointless to TRY and want to use the sprint Version when they are SEVERAL OTHER varrients that are GSM they could have got to use.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] BamAlmighty:
EXCEPT... the op specifically said they wanted to purchase it from Amazon America to use on their country's GSM network.

Why they want to do that? WHO KNOWS, maybe it might be cheaper doing it this way, but that is what they want to do and despite all your unnecessary wrongful information, the OP can do what they asked as long as they can get the sim unlocked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hyelton:
I sell on Amazon and Most people wont ship out of the USA on Amazon. Mostly only Candia but Ive tried ordering a lot of things overseas and 90% I cant as they wont ship here
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] GiantJay:
Amazon sells the Sprint for $599 this is probably why. I bought mine at Best Buy and had them price match Amazon for that price.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hyelton:
Yea but out of country cant buy FROM sprint...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] eurominican:
Looks like everyone here is an expert in this matter but so far haven't seen a single link to reputable sources... OP call sprint international department and get answer straight from the carrier (888) 226-7212

Even IF the phone is capable of being used in GSM bands internationally, you would have to get it unlocked by sprint and they change policies all the time so just call..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fusiondynamics:
I got my phone unlocked for international use. I contacted sprint international services. I was initially told that you have to be activated for at least 90 days before they could unlock the phone but would forward my request to some department. After one day I got a email that my phone has been unlocked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mkang:
They unlocked Sprint Galaxy 4?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] hyelton:
Yea.... but it ONLY works internationally AND you have to be a sprint customer.

The POINT I have been trying to get across is that people need to understand Sprint is a CDMA carrier and ONLY relies on GSM for LTE. I think what people think is that they are solely a gsm carrier like most of the world is but its NOT
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mkang:
yes I understand that Sprint will unlock it for foreign SIM use, but I have been told that *the phone* has to be on the line for 90 days. Twice.

I should have asked as: "Did Sprint unlock your GS4 for international use before 90 days?"

I am traveling abroad next week, and I would really like to carry my Sprint GS4, so I was clarifying if fusiondynamics was able to get his phone unlocked by Sprint.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Vanakatherock:
OP, please save yourself a lot of time, and trouble, and simply purchase the AT&T, T-Mobile, or factory unlocked Galaxy S IV, if you really want one. The time & money you would spend trying to unlock a Sprint variant wouldn't be wise.

While the Sprint variant does have GSM roaming capabilities (www.phonescoop.com/articles/article.php?a=12145), the unlocking process for someone who is not a Sprint customer would likely be very difficult, this early in the life of the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lafester:
the phone has been out for 2 weeks obviously less then 90 days.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mkang:
So I was asking the guy above.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fusiondynamics:
Yes. I got the phone last week and I requested for a unlock on Wednesday and it was officially unlocked Thursday. How do you check to see if I'm actually unlocked?

Hello xxxxxxxxx

I think the person meant a customer for 90 days not the phone for 90 days.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fusiondynamics:
No Sprint said that you have to have the phone activated for at least 90 days. This is not just sprint. It's pretty much every carrier, but they made a exception and unlocked my phone per my request.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mkang:
in that case I am very interested. How did you manage THAT?!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] tlordon:
This thread is all kinds of stupid.

the s4 is a GSM phone. Flat.

there is no 90 day BS.

so the question is once you have it unlocked from sprint for world use.

what do we need to do to use USA Sims.

We found the trick on the htc touch pro 2 (well min i had sprint and tmoblile at same time)

i currently dont have the tech ability (medical) to make this work however there has to be a way..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] myphone12345:
Well, it looks like Sprint says they have somehow "remotely" unlocked some folks' S4s for international use, but I haven't heard confirmation that whatever they supposedly did, did infact unlock the device for international use (actually, we've been hearing the opposite). So, I think before contemplating US use, we need some positive verification that Sprint can actually unlock it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fusiondynamics:
I told them that I needed to have the phone unlocked because I would be traveling in two weeks and waiting the 90 days would not work. I told them that I would already be bound to their 2 year agreement anyways so unlocking or not unlocking would not make a difference with the phone.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mkang:
Good point! I should try that. I will update whether I succeed convincing Sprint up unlock, and whether it really works with foreign SIM or not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mkang:
no go for me. they(first rep and her supervisor) kept repeating their tool won't allow that. :sad:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] fusiondynamics:

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] obender:
Even if they say it is unlocked there is no way of checking this (yet?) until you travel outside the US and put non-US SIM card in it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] myphone12345:
I think if you put a non US SIM in it it would probably be suffient to tell if it at least been unlocked.

As an aside [careful, rant follows...], Verizon announced the release of their S4 today and made it a point to mention their variant's international use features in their press release (and because of FCC rules associated with their LTE band, they've been shipping all their LTE devices completely unlocked, both for US and out of US use). Just Sprint has to be the one major carrier to f@&k with the phone and make this extraordinarily more complicated than it should be. At the very least they could have shipped the phone with a simple SIM lock in place and supply the user a code to unlock it like any sane carrier would do. But noooo, they had to come up with some obscure remote unlock scheme that they don't know how to operate and doesn't appear to work anyway, which is exacerbated by having a lot of utterly clueless CSRs when it comes to this stuff. Crazy that those CSRs keep insisting that "yes, sir, you're good to go, you've been unlocked". Way to go Sprint! :rolleyes:

p.s. the HTC One seems to have similar problems too. Sprint managed to f@&k up that one too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] obender:
Non-US SIM in the phone while in the US results in "Invalid SIM" message.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mkang:
UPDATE: I've returned from my trip. The phone did NOT work with the local carrier. (Invalid SIM)

I changed the network mode to GSM/UMTS from CDMA/LTE/EVDO and was able to scan the carrier. It would fail at the registration.

Same SIM worked on my unlocked iPhone..so the SIM was not the problem.

I just with there is a way to tell whether the phone has simlock, locally. That way I can take it to Sprint and tell them it's not unlocked even for foreign SIM use?

UICC Unlock results in "profile updated" message within US. I had done it before I left, I still can do it. My PRL version is 54014 as of 6/2/2013.

I have another trip coming up in August. Any inspiring attempts I receive, I will try and update.

edit: phone is SPH-L720
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] myphone12345:
If you put the foreign SIM while in the US and the phone was truly unlocked, you might not be able to get reception but I would at least expect the device not to say "Invalid SIM" any more.

Anyway, it appears that Sprint's cluelessness with respect to unlocking this device (and the HTC One) continues! What's particularly annoying is Sprint's continual insistence that the device does become unlocked after they do their remote thing while in fact it does not. I don't know how we can ever get Sprint to fix this issue when they don't/won't even acknowledge there's a problem!

BTW, here's the other thread on this topic: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2257891
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] mkang:
When I contacted Sprint about the phone displaying Invalid SIM, their response was that Galaxy S4 is different than Sprint's iPhone, and I should verify with the local carrier that the SIM is "international-capable". They stated that iPhone is different and it can take non-international capable SIMs. They were not clear nor was able to explain what they meant by international-capable.

I checked with the local carrier if they had a different type of SIMs..answer was no.

I thought it was worth mentioning.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] myphone12345:
Thanks. This ridiculous information coming out of them only reinforces the notion that Sprint's level of cluelessness when it comes to this topic is reaching greater and greater heights.

Now my device keeps hanging, after hard resets the hang re-occurs after a while i'm using it even No apps installed & GSM is turned off.

Since the device is less than 1 year old it should be in warranty but I dont know where to send it. O2 doesnt recognize my IMEI.

Can anyone help me to find my warranty assistence center.

Hi Guys i want ask about vm heap size for my galaxy w Default vm heap size 64 in my rom i changed 48 m < who is can give me Best heap size for galaxy w?
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] klacenas:
commonly for GB roms 64m, for ICS and JB 128m

but i've also tried running JB at 64m and works just fine
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] hepi_hape:
mmm, get be focused

VM have 3 value that may change the performace

my setting is

dalvik.vm.heapstartsize=5m

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit=36m

dalvik.vm.heapsize=128m
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] coliv_aja:
dalvik.vm.heapstartsize size when first launch

dalvik.vm.heapgrowthlimit limit of standard app

dalvik.vm.heapsize heap for large app

commonly for ics/jb with 512mb ram is 5,48,128

increasing heapsize can improve performance because app can used more memory to unpacking resources.

reducing heapsize may improve multitasking experience. however, in some cases, large applications such as gaming, the performance can be more severe. while app nowadays is using larger resources (hd images,audio etc), which would force it to run garbage collection frequently, which would use up CPU cycles and reducing battery life as well.

By the way a recovery is a ROM by all definition. Its flashed in read only memory of your device . Special partition the boot-loader boots . its by all definitions a OS In itself... just with very limited function..

After one weel of awesome performance my tab is now dead, when I try to reboot it is stopping at the first screen from the bootloader without charging the os. In the recovery menu everithing is working perfect but when I try to reboot is always showing me the same : "skrilax_cz's bootloader v8 booting primary kernel image".

Could please some body help me?

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zatta:
Something is wrong with the kernel boot in your setup. It can be anything, for example a weird looping script in init.d, corruption in the kernel partitin, whatever.

What I would do (I have a Iconia a500 in my household that I don't actively flash anymore) is the nuclear option: boot to recovery, wipe everything and reflash the rom. Maybe also refash the kernel if that isn't in the rom zip.

HI Zatta, I reflashed different time some different rom and kernel but the result is not changing, I'm still in front of the starting screen but the rom is not charged. Any other suggestion?
