Off topic: Soft-brick. Or better yet not bricked at all. That term gets thrown around waaay to often. I don't really understand why. It seems pretty obvious to me that the term bricked would imply that your device has become nothing more than an expensive brick. A brick can't suddenly turn on after some fixing, so why should a "bricked" device be able to?

Sorry for the rant :)

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 PM ----------

On topic: I flashed the fixed thermald and the kernel (got over my previous issue), but the kernel would not go below 1.5GHz and two cores on no matter the setting. If i set the max to less than 1.5GHz it will be stuck at a minimum of that new max and two cores. Verified using perfmon.

Had to reflash ROM to fix.

Is the thermald the cause?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdadevnube:
I would like to inquire about the feasibility of enabling CIFS support for the kernel. I believe that CIFS modules are device and kernel specific and are normally baked into the kernel.

I have tried to find information regarding enabling CIFS on the GS4, but I have found little other than that Adam Kernel for the 9500 and 9505 had CIFS support. Does any body have any information that could help?

I have found that CIFSManager returns the error: "Invalid Argument". This is when I select load kernel module via insmod in CIFSManager settings. I also ensured that the mount point was outside of internal SD storage. Normally, I expect the error "No Such Device" when the kernel doesn't have CIFS support, so I am at a total loss here.

Kernel 005 Beta 1 is out. MEA ROM BASE ONLY!

http://faux.androidro.ms/jfltevzw/beta/
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] faux123:
005 is available. compatible with MEA base :p
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
I notice you've changed the download link to version 005, which is MEA compatible ... If we're still running on MDK, do you recommend we stick with 004?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thafngame24:
I tried installing 005 on top of Beans V2 and my dual camera continues to freeze... had to go back to 003... anybody else having this issue?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kylesag21:
On 004 and can confirm freezing on the dual camera option. Running hyperdrive RLS 3.1.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metallice:
No issues for me on 005m. On Beans for the moment. Dual camera works fine.

What rom is running mea? Just wonderjng.

---------- Post added at 08:09 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:34 PM ----------

Just curious. There was an app back on my nexus days where you could just swipe the screen to turn on. That was always been a great feature and didnt do much on battery drain. Is that possible on s4?

Something on the kernel had to be changed. I jist cant remember much.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
The MEA base is the most recent International GS4 (GT-i9505) software update, not viable for our purposes.

I know what you're talking about - I believe KT's Kernel for the GS3 had this option baked in (or was it LK?). I haven't yet seen it over here, but that may have something to do with the workarounds caused by the locked bootloader.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] km8j:
What is latest version available for VZW version?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] theresin:
The one that is in the download link is, last I checked that was 005 ... However I am still having issues with dual camera not working both on version 004 and 005 (both mainline and ultimate). So far 003 had been the most stable release on my device.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] faux123:
See Screenshot!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trebb:
Mine has changed that section to the name of the ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] faux123:
then you need to ask other users or from the ROM chef what base he is using...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] FlipFlops24/7:
Does this show my ROM base?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] musicfreak190:
Interesting.. I wasn't even aware there were different bases? What are the difference in the bases? How many are there? and what is the latest?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] faux123:
you should check my screenshot.. it clearly shows you what to look for... in your case you have MDK... so stay with 004_r3
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trebb:
Yes, your base is MDM~MDK. Look at the last three letters of the Build Number.

Faux's screenshot showed exactly where to find the base (if your ROM hasn't changed it)...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] CCoR87:
So I'm just wanting to make sure but based what I have, I'm using the 0004 r3 correct??
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] faux123:
custom ROMs where they removed the original Base ID, you need to ask the ROM chefs what base they used... :( I wish they would preserve the ROM Base IDs :(

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjharris1985:
Quick question, sorry if it's dumb but is there a version of the stock kernel that's in a zip file so I can flash via recovery instead of using ODIN?? Thanks!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] faux123:
The zip is designed to be flashed via recovery. I'm b surprised that it worked via Odin
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cjharris1985:
Lol, I know that. I have the .tar file of ODIN, I was just asking if there was a one in a zip file.

does this kernel fix screen issues like purple banding and portions of display being different brightness?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Metallice:
Unless you are referring to purple smearing with grays on black, those issues you are describing are display defects. You should get it replaced. It took me two S4s until I got one with a perfect, uniform display. AMOLEDs...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trebb:
It sounds like he's talking about the stock SGS4 kernel that comes with the phone out of the box.

I have a question for you faux

1. Everytime I flash a new rom I always let it boot up with the stock kernel, go through the setup and then reboot. Then I proceed to flash a different kernel of my choice. Is this necessary or can is it better to flash the rom and kernel in the samer TWRP/CWM session and then boot up?

You can flash ROM then UnitedHealth immediately flash kernel right afterwards without reboots in between

Hey guys, I just bought a DNA of CL and I'm having some issues that Im hoping I can get resolved here. The DNA is currently rooted running ViperDNA 1.0.1. The issue I'm having is I'm getting no data connections. The only thing I can do is use the phone over wifi. The 4G Lte indicator is not showing up in the notification bar. So Im looking to return my phone to bone stock to see if this helps the issue. My problem is I'm having issues re-locking the boot loader. When I get the phone on fastboot usb( USB debugging is turned on) I go into my command and enter -fastboot oem lock. My command prompt will not recognize the the command, it just tells me"fastboot is not recoginized as a internal or external coomand". Can someone steer me in the right direction and help me out. Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] jamiethemorris:
Assuming you have the adb drivers installed, it sounds like you aren't in the proper directory. You need to execute that command from the directory that fastboot.exe is in. Are you on a windows or Mac/Linux? Of you're using Mac/Linux the correct command is ./fastboot OEM lock
[HTC Droid DNA] nuttz565:
Thanks for the quick reply. Im using Windows 7, Im thinking the problem is I dont have the correct drivers. Do you have a link for the adb drivers?
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
That error means it doesn't know what the command fastboot is, you either don't have it in your path or you aren't in the folder that has it. Drivers will display fast boot messages, not that command error.

Try new SIM card. The same thing sorta happened to me. I couldn't get 4g data. A new SIM fixed it all.
[HTC Droid DNA] 123421342:
Also, you are using an extremely outdated version of viper. Upgrade to 1.3 or flash CM/PAC. You probably need a new sim card.
[HTC Droid DNA] nuttz565:
I got a new sim card earlier in the day which did not fix the issue. I can not for the life of me figure out how to get it to show up in the command prompt so that I can re-lock my boot loader. I have been dealing with it trying to figure it out all day. Im going to just do what you suggested and try and get 1.3 onto the device. Thanks
[HTC Droid DNA] pio_masaki:
Did you ever open the prompt in the folder with fastboot.exe? Your error would be gone. At least that one would be, it had nothing to do with the phone and all about your PC not knowing where fastboot is.

Tapatalked from my HTC DNA - ReVolt
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
Ok, you downloaded the SDK correct? Or at least have the adb and fastboot files somewhere? I'm assuming you do..

Say you have them in a folder named adb on your C drive.

In the command prompt you would type:

cd C:/adb/

That brings the command prompt "into" that folder.

Now run your fastboot oem XXXXX command

Is it normal for battery have sudden drops in % (Ex: drops from 55% to 52% in one second with out going through 54% 53%)

I attached an image of that issue to have a better idea what I mean
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Uhm.....how can i explain this .....well i will try :

Example

The battery is at 45%....drops to 42% in 2 minutes. From 42% to 38% takes 5 minutes .....

The next time the phone drops from 45% to 41% in 1 minute and goes from 4!% to 38& in 6 minutes.

The percentage drops are different but the battery life is the same, only android displays it differently. Its a mind game as i like to call it.

Hope you get my point here ;)

Hi.

Does anyone know of a good way to check what device is connected through active sync?

I have tested opennetcf framework but haven't found any way. I also checked the registry and files for any clue to what device is connected.

As the title says.

I I have been trying to configure my galaxy s2 so I can use the default SIP client in the native dialer to make phone calls over my at home wifi connection.

So far the closest I have gotten is the phone will dial the number but then I get a time-out.

I can use the MajicJack app on the phone to make calls over this same wi-fi. But when I try to use the native dialer to make calls I cant get it to work.

Any ideas?

I currently use iptel.org as my sip account.

Im not sure if I need to port forward on my router? Or maybe Im not inputting the "optional settings" in properly in the native dialer settings. Anyone have any ideas?

Im still learning about how to do this stuff. Need to be noob friendly please.

I have returned a Sony Xperia Z and now the second Galaxy S4 due to screen problems. The Xperia had stuck pixels, the first S4 had dirt under the glass, the second one had a light spot which showed mostly on a grey screen but was visible on every colour. What surprised me was that the phones I returned ended up on the shelf (behind glass) with a full price label... My returned S4 boxes had broken tamper proof labels so I am not sure how they can sell them at full price, but the Xperia box does not have tamper proof labels at all.

Its all about The quality Control (QC) which is under 90% where they are manufacturing the device, in a simple way they will let it go even they know the device has some issues.

QC in Japan average 97%

QC in USA average 95% ( I saw QC about 98% and for the army about 99%)

China it depends :) may be under 90%

I'm not saying China is bad, actually Foxcon doing good job with apple.

For me I'm not happy with my s4 display. I have issues with the red color icons while swiping the app drawer and the black color while watch in movies in low brightness.

Hey guys,

I decided to make the transition over to CM, however I'm having boot loop issues with CM10. Here's the steps that I've taken in order to flash the ROM (what I though was properly):

Download CM10 Stable for HTC One XL

Wipe Cache and Davlik Cache

Factory Reset

Install CM10 .zip from TWRP 2.3.3

Flash boot img using TN WIN Boot Installer

However, as I've previously stated, I'm stuck on the CM boot logo. Any suggestions, I'm at a loss?

Hi

I've recently upgraded to TMOB 1.72 but thanks to DCS's guide, now managed to install the new o2 rom released this week.

However, if i now try to install the new apps such as Fonix Voice ial, it comes up with a message saying incorrect rom version.

Can anyone suggest anything? I've looked but although some people have had the same problem, noone seems to have put forward any solutions.

Cheers

I've looked at the two setup files in the fonix2.0UK0527_O2Limit_20040901.sa.cab from C:\Program Files\Microsoft ActiveSync\HTC Apps and found the same O2 vs CDL in both files, when viewed in a hex editor. However I'm now stuck on finding a way to update or remake the cab file to try again. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do this or if they had another plan? would it just be easier to downgrade to the official 1.66 o2 and then upgrade again? Also how do I check my version of Bootloader?

Many thanks

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Anton.Valleyman:
My DeviceData file said CDL so I changed the .nbf file from o2 to that. i have got slightly further now in that the application tries to install but when it does, it says it cannot the various dll's etc. I think its a prob with the cab file generation, and i cannot find a program that allows me to add/replace the contents of the cab file.

MSYSTEM - 1.72.181

MSYSTEM1 - O2_UK.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] Anton.Valleyman:
Just to update you...

I solved it in the end. I was having trouble with the .cab file because it was compressing itself rather than staying in its usual state. After changing the O2 setting to CDL in the settings files within the cab, and recreating the cab file before sticking it on the phone, it worked fine.
