Problem with SHV-E300S

Wednesday I received my SGS4 SHV-E300S(Korean Version). Everything is perfect but the 3G network. It is really slow and I don´t know how to fix this problem.

When everybody see "3G" or "H" in his screen, I only see "G".

Is this problem about compatibility between SHV-E300S and the chilean network ?

I just installed the latest firmware E300SKSUAMG2 but the problem is still there .

Please help me

First off I would see what frequencies your carrier has for edge, 3g and 4g. After that you can go into the skt hidden menu and change things accordingly. There is an app on the play store called skt hidden menu that will get you into it if you don't know how.
[Galaxy S 4 General] aaronponce:
Problem with SHV-E300S

I saw the 3G frequencies of my carrier: GSM 850/1900 MHz

I used the Skt Hidden menu+ 3.0 and I changed the network options to GSM 1900

but the problem is still there.

***SKT Hidden Menu+ 3.0 has this note: "This application is only for SHV-e210S which is a Korean versión of Galaxy S3 LTE.

Change of setting or configuration may brick your pone. You can use this application at your own risk."

I attached a screenshot

Thanks for your help

[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
The G that it is showing is meaning that you are currently on the 3g network. G = 3g, H = 4g and H+ = LTE or enhanced 4g. Everyone is getting away from Edge whoch would be E on the top of your phone. Hope this helps to clerify things for you.

Problem with SHV-E300S

How can be posible that LG-E400G(ex-cellphone) internet is faster than SHV-E300S ???

The I900, I9505 and LG-E400G(EX-phone) shows 3G and H on the top of the phone when they are using 3G

[Galaxy S 4 General] picow:
If all that doesn't work then maybe your carrier uses mostly the 850 band. Had that problem with my Pantech Vega R3 where it supports only one band in Hong Kong but that band has very little network coverage. So I wouldn't get 4G unless I'm in somewhere in a big mall.

After downloading the rom, removed the .md5 (it should end up with .tar only), then flash it using Odin. it is pre-rooted already. this is what i am using right now, so far its smooth.

GPS accuracy problem

It looks like my GPS is way off by more than 500 meters or so. Whenever I try to compare my actual position from the one indicated via Google Maps, the difference in accuracy is noticeable. I also used Google Earth application that I downloaded and it looks the same. Does anyone else also have this similar problem with your S4 Korean variant?

Please advise if anyone knows hot to calibrate this to increase accuracy.:fingers-crossed:

Thanks!

s4 shv-e300k Camera

Hi guys,

Suddenly the Camera of my Samsung galaxy s4 shv-e300k stopped working, I tried so many time but got the same thing: camera failed.

Anyone can help ???
[Galaxy S 4 General] lunerceli:
Restore a backup and see if that fixes it. If not then reflash a fresh version of the rom. If that doesn't work then your camera is screwed and it needs to be repaired.
[Galaxy S 4 General] maitredufoot:

The camera is working in Skype!!!

Even though it may be working on other apps, the actual android software could have missed up. Just restore a backup or reinstall and your problem should be fixed.

I've rebuilt a kernel using the stock source code from Samsung for the e300k. I'm testing it for the next few days and after 24 hours, so far so good. I will start making some modifications next week while I am on vacation.

We e300s/k/l user at xda are a small group but I'm sure there are others who would also appreciate a kernel to play with.

Right now I will only be working with the e300k because it's the only device I have access to.

There are many modifications that can be made, support for file systems, governors, processor overclocking, stweaks, rooting, the list goes on.

I have to prioritize what gets done first due to my capabilities and time restrictions. I'm not a "developer" I'm more of an experienced hobbyist.

As of now, my priorities are:

root

ntfs, cifs

network performance

lower temperatures

battery performance

Give me your suggestions as to what you and what you think others want and will use in a custom kernel. Try and be specific, if it's a governor, which governor, etc.
[Galaxy S 4 General] mohaimed:
few questions:

1. i have a galaxy s4 E300L. i updated it via ota update and now the Build no. reads JDQ39. E300LKLUAMG2. Baseband version: E300LKLUAMF2. how to understand whether it is ME7 or whether i am on the latest firmware?

2. the link you have posted for E300L, is it the stock rom or modified stock rom?

3. will we get any kernels for our E300L? a kernel with various cpu and battery tweaks will be awesome

good to know that you will be working on the development of E300K. but can i flash it in my E300L? it would be great to have some development in E300L. :(

about the suggestions... i guess everyone wants a good battery life. So you should focus on the battery life more. and try interactive governor or dyinteractive. they are really responsive and battery friendly. the ondemand can sometimes cause lags. and for I/O Schedular, you might wanna go for deadline or noop. hope i helped

No problem if it worked.

I just concerned that your s4 is fine:)

Using older kernel than firmware build is able to cause some problems. (especially different model's one)

But it's okay,

sometimes people do experimental things to fix

and I always do:D

Now released SuperSu 1.30 from Chainfire,

It perfectly works on stock ME6.

so I wish you overwrite stock E300K ME6 firmware on your device, and Root as newest Supersu. Good luck:)

Fix for flashing CWM

Hi guys, Finally I've decided to flash CWM onto my 300K. From my own personal experience & others around the forum you may or may not encounter some minor issues but there's an easy solution to it no worries.

So if you want to flash CWM do the following :

1. Download CWM by Chenglu link is also available from OP http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1950338&d=1368162177

2. Download Odin then Unzip the attached Odin & Start Odin3 http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1954816&d=1368307196

3.Click the PDA button in Odin, and select i9500-cwm-recovery-6.0.3.2.tar

4.Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold volume-down + home + power to boot) then Vol UP key after you see some Korean characters

5. Plug in USB cable (please use original cable or a good quality cable) during flash & DO NOT UNPLUG till the flashing finishes !

6. Make sure Repartition is NOT checked & DO NOT check anything else. If in doubt, just close Odin & restart it leave it default.

7. Hit Start & wait couple of seconds

*** Please note : the steps above are pretty much the normal way of flashing but you may encounter an issue by always ending up in Stock Recovery even if you've flashed couple of times & here's the fix :

UNCHECK Auto Reboot in Odin, reflash CWM, pull battery out, insert battery, use hold VOL UP + home + power to boot to enter the CWM.

The above mentioned method worked flawlessly for me but be warned, your device status WILL change to Custom Binary & AFAIK there's no fix to reset it yet & you have the option to Root or NOT to root your device in CWM. I kept mine unrooted at the moment as I only wanted to flash MEGA bass beats for audio enhancement & also to use my banking apps. Happy Flashing.

;)

For those using the phone overseas you may need to access special menu to change some settings (probably network, freq band, etc) but if you do change the settings, make sure you set them correctly before applying them or else your phone may not work.

Open dial pad and enter : 319712358. A menu will pop up asking for password.

Cool Apps that works on Korean version

Some cool apps that i've been using.

Flash Blink, flash blinks when there is a call or sms (blinks much faster) http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?bn1fhujctz8r7ww just install the app.

The test flash does not work but for calls & sms it works. try it out it's like disco light strobe !

Mega Bass Beats - You will have to install this via CWM. Save the file in external sdcard.

install

wipe cache/dalvik/fix premissions (optional but highly reccomended)

reboot & you should see an app called DSPManager

goto settings -> my device -> sound -> music efects & select DSPManager.

No root required. The sound quality improves significantly especially using earphones (i'm using Westone 3) but can't increase VOL atm but on the other hand your phone is not rooted & protection for phone speakers & you ears. Even BT headset is supported.

Yes your firmware is the latest. And as far as the link goes I don't think they have an mf2 advanced rom yet but I will check though.

Edit: your firmware isn't the latest. It os now at MF4. There is an advanced rom for your phone but no kernel yet. When you look at matcl.com you are looking for the S4 clearing. Here is a link http://www.matcl.com/?m=bbs&bid=imbeded&p=2&uid=181498
