Just wanted to update. I made the sec_ril shortcut and tried all three settings (enabled, disabled and none) and ten rebooted cleared BBS data and started fresh and each one showed FD drain. So in don't know what's going on..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] shoman94:
It seems a bit different then on previous phones. They set it differently screen on vs. Screen off.

Try editing customer.xml using your root explorer. These are the lines as they are stock:

<Network>

<NbFastDormancy>2</NbFastDormancy>

<FastDormancy>

<NetworkName>ATT</NetworkName>

<FastDormancyEnableStatus>off</FastDormancyEnableStatus>

<LCDStatus>on</LCDStatus>

<FastDormancy>

<NetworkName>ATT</NetworkName>

<FastDormancyEnableStatus>on</FastDormancyEnableStatus>

<TimeoutValue>3.5</TimeoutValue>

<LCDStatus>off</LCDStatus>

</FastDormancy>

Tbh.... I can't see disabling it while screen off will help unless you have zero background being used. Even then....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DJsCrIBbLe:
So how is FD being handled then, When set to disabled its only disabled during screen on, and the reason im still seeing it in bbs is it's not being disabled during screen off?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DJsCrIBbLe:
Its hard for me to test accurately since I use WiFi at home which lowers FD and then I tether at work which keeps my device awake with the screen off. Maybe this weekend will be a good time to charge up and only use lte and see what my Wakelocks look like ..

this FD thing is really driving me nuts... its what's killing my battery like 8% per hour when phone is in idle and I have already removed crap like google+ , facebook, and anything that can run for updates without me knowing... insane..... arrggghhh!!!

My S3 with Viber on is only draining 0.7% per hour.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] fndpena:
What fw version are you guys using?

As far as I know, and researched, it's impossible to disable FD on JB 4.2.2.

On 4.1.2 this was REALLY easy using fast dormancy toggle app. But I'm afraid I have tested all the possible fixes and none worked on 4.2.2.

- editing nwk_info.db

- editing build.prop

- fast dormancy toggle app

- Sysdump/sec_ril_dump is not accessible via secret code, nor I can find it using "quickshortcutmaker" (it seems this menu not even exist in CM10 rom)

- deleting stuff (I don't remember what)

- etc

I'm loosing hope on get this thing disabled. So frustrating.

Hey guys

I recently reflashed a stock rom as I was having some issues with Omega Rom and after I done this, SuperSU keeps saying that there are no Binaries installed. Ive tried flashing and rooting a few times and I still get this message. Has anyone got a fix for this?

Hi,

I obtained XDA II recently and I noticed a problem. I am not sure if it a configuration problem. When I get meeting requests or appointments, they appear correctly but I never get the notification at all.

As per the user manual I have selected Remind me in → Settings → Personal tab → Sounds & Notifications and I have ticked all the options for reminder but I never get notifications.

on my PC Outlook 2000, I continue to get reminders.

Can you please help.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] jpiek:
PLZ try searching before posting ;)

Make a Backup to SD card, HARD-reset the device and restore the backup. That should fix it...
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Biso007:
No guarantee this will solve the problem ... some s/w makes this conflicts with the reminders and also the ROM version ... I had this problem with 1.66 and solved when I upgraded to 1.72. This shouldn't mean it's the only solution.
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] jpiek:
It fixed it for me, 2 - 3 times now...

Could be a software conflict, but my guess it's in some temp-file or in memory where the conflict is. Since a softreset doesn't and a hardreset + restore does seem to help in some cases.

A softreset isn't really off, a hardreset is. some parts are only fully initialised on full power off...

Anyway, it's an easy way to try and get sound back without losing anything

Hey guys.

I have got a demo unit of an s4 I9505 and it's a "live demo" unit that has a Samsung demo ROM on it that has disabled the SIM card slot. Do you know of anyway I can remove all the software and flash a ROM and have it working as a normal handset?

I tried installing a ROM via CWM after I rooted it but it said complete but didn't change anything. Also I'm CWM it doesn't have the option to flash from internal SD card, only external. Have Samsung removed some core files in this Rom maybe? I'm rooted but in superSU it also says "no binary found, this is a problem"

Any help would be great!

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fstorm:
Is it an i9505 or an i9505x? If it has the "x", you won't be able to make phone calls even if you root it successfully.

I saw that but got stuck at the "unpack roms" bit. I never use Odin I always use CWM so I just flash zips. Can you shed any light on how to get the file I need to select in pda?

I do not have a zip but I can tell you how to do it for yourself if you want. I always change the icons on all the roms I use. It's pretty simple to do.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ Scooby Doo:
Legit, how do you do it?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
Sorry for the lag. I'm at work right now but I'll send you the write up in a few hours.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
Alright, so this is not a professional write up. It might be a lil confusing. If you get stuck some where, just let me know. I'll help you out.

Before anything, save a copy of your existing systemui.apk to your sdcard in case your notification bar breaks with the mod. I recommend a full Rom backup.

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Using root explorer, go to folder system/app. Make sure to mount r/w before.

2. Scroll down to systemui.apk, press and hold on the apk and EXTRACT ALL. When done extracting, press on go to extracted. Find systemui folder and press on it.

3. Once inside the systemui folder, go res/drawable-hdpi

4. Once inside drawable-hdpi folder, press the menu button and select MULTISELECT.

NOTE: Inside drawable-hdpi folder contains all the png's images you need to replace the H symbol to any symbol you want.

5. Now you're going to select 4 4g png images of your choice that you want to replace the H symbol with.

You can choose whatever 4g symbol you want as long you have these 4 file names: (you can also see the screenshots below for reference.)

stat_sys_data_connected_4g.png

stat_sys_data_in_4g.png

stat_sys_data_inandout_4g.png

stat_sys_data_out_4g.png

6. Once selected, press copy then press the back button till you see the systemui folder which should be speedsoftware/extracted if you look at the top bar and press paste.

7. Now one at a time you're going to rename the 4 png files to say "h" for example:

From this, stat_sys_data_connected_4g.png

To this, stat_sys_data_connected_h.png

8. Once you've renamed each file, press menu again, press MULTISELECT and select all 4 files and move them back to systemui in res/drawable-hdpi. It will ask you if you want to replace existing, press yes to all.

9. Once all the files are moved back to drawabke-hdpi, back out till you're out of systemui folder and you see the systemui folder.

10. Press and hold the systemui folder. When options pop up select ZIP THIS FILE and let it do it's thing. Once it's finished, it's going to ask you if you want to go where the zip folder is at, press yes.

11. Now you should be in speedsoftware/zip directory. You will see the systemui.zip file. Press and hold it till options pop up and rename it to systemui.apk.

12. Press and hold the systemui.apk you just created till options pop up and press on COPY.

13. Press the back button till you're all the way back to where you see the system folder. Once in system press app and once inside the app folder, paste the new systemui.apk. It's going to ask you if you want to replace*existing, press yes and back out of root explorer back to your home screen.

14. Reboot
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
By the way, if you want. You can also upload your systemui.apk here, I'll modify it then post it back.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ Scooby Doo:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/39254246/SystemUI.apk

I uploaded the SystemUI.apk. Thanks so much! :D
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
Try this apk and let me know how it goes. Push it to system with root explorer or any file manager with root.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ Scooby Doo:
Good looking out, I'll try that out when I get back from school. :)
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DJ Scooby Doo:
Bad news, it doesn't work. I don't have a status bar anymore after I pushed that to my phone and restarted. I'd post a screenshot but it doesn't let me. I just noticed from those photos you linked that those are the HTC Sense versions. I'm looking for one that looks like this:
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
Yea, I just posted those screenshot up just for file name reference. Systemui has both sense and aosp symbols.

The one in your screenshot is the symbol I tried replacing it to.

What Rom are you using right now? Synthetic?

By the way, to fix your statusbar, push the stock systemui you made a copy of before.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
My bad man. I forgot to mention. Before pushing the apk system/app, you were supposed copy it to system first, set permission to (rwrr) and then copy the apk to the apps folder and then reboot. Its probably why it didn't work. Set permissions to the app and retry it.

To set permissions just long press the apk and in options press permissions.

EDIT: Confirmed working. So the apk should work. Just forgot to mention the step above.

It does? I just went outside, and it didn't :/ Ah well, just aesthetics anyway.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:
Hmmm weird, it should. I'll take a look at it again. See if I can make it turn blue or I'll just theme it myself and reupload the systemui apk.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] coupetastic-droid:

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] :
I got both. I'm a big slut.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] thcOne:
I know this is the S4 forum so this is going to be hated on but...

I went with the 0ne instead of the S4 primarily because I had a Samsung galaxy S and its horrible 6 month lifespan. I don't trust Samsung's phones despite what is said about the S3 and S4 based on my experience with the brand. Products from hard drives to phones from Samsung have always disappointed me. I went with the 0ne simply because it isn't Samsung... so there you go...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] milan03:
Ended up settling with HTC One after a few days with S4. Couldn't stand the UI lag and the overheating issue. Both are great phones, prefer HTC One's screen, speakers and UI. Wouldn't mind having thinner bezel like S4 though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Shocky2:
There are lots of reasons, the camera on the S4 captures allot more detail, the colours are more accurate and not overexposed and washed out like some HTC One images sometimes look., ok it doesn't cope with low light conditions as well but that's a trade-off I'm happy to make.

I can capture images with a Galaxy S4 that I can set as my desktop wallpaper and they look fantastic, I can't do that with a HTC One as they a bit blurry and colours don't look right..

There's the gorgeous OLED display which is a massive improvement over the one on the S3, yes the S3 offered different colour settings but they just removed colour, the movie mode looked washed out, any lower and it would have been black and white. Whereas the display modes on the S4 are completely different and if you want; it can produce near accurate colours and it looks fantastic.

The hardware is quicker, CPU and GPU are clocked higher and it uses DDR3 memory instead of DDR2 in the HTC One.

Removable back cover, removable battery, sdcard slot, thinner, lighter and more ergonomic design which feels allot nicer to hold, gorilla glass 3 and various software features.

Another plus is there are no on screen buttons taking up space on your screen, on the HTC One in allot of apps you get a large on screen menu button taking up space on the screen limiting the screen available for your app and games (yes even in games) and it looks stupid.

6 month lifespan? I still have the Galaxy S I bought on launch, well I don't have it, my niece uses it now and it's still doing a grand job. Yes they stopped updating it but competing products released at the same time were not updated either so it's stupid to buy HTC for that reason when they did exactly the same thing.

Samsung produce some of the best SSD drives around and they are hugely popular and in very high demand, clearly they are doing something right and you are doing something wrong.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] hexproject:
I had a HTC one X, then S3 then HTC one X+, then bought amd returned the 64gb dev HTC one AND the black 32 GB HTC one... now using Tmobile S4 on AT&T, rooted.

The HTC One was hard too hold for me. The S4 felt better in my hand. I know s4 is an super upgraded S3, but I felt that HTC one is a super upgraded one x+.

So thats my story, only thing is that 9 gb storage is killing me... maybe upgrade to 32 later...

I am not a samung lover or HTC lover, but a phone changing lover... hahaha. Bad habit..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] flipq88:
So you're judging the S4 based on the first Galaxy S? Good thing you didn't judge the one by its brand. I would list all their crap phones but it's too long of a list.

I've seen several people choose the S4 over the HTC one due to durability.

The HTC one is almost impossible to do any self repairs. Check out the iFixit tear down and you'll see. Not sure how good HTC's warranty is but make sure you get some sort of insurance on it. Just my two cents...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] CoderCR:
I was on that boat. I hated my galaxy s. I went with an amaze after and hated it as much. So I went s3 next and just loved it. Now with s4 and living it more. Battery is amazing as is the screen. I prefer touchwiz over sense also. Plus I have to have an sdcard.

Looked at them both... I think the guts of the HTC 0ne look more attractive, personally. The tight clustering of the chips on the Samsung look like it might be more prone to heat barriers. Plus the appearance of the Samsung brand lion battery gives me PTSD.

In my case taking small devices apart hoping to fix them usually results in breaking them even more.
