[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidSolstice:
Hey guys, I'm new to GSM phones and I'm going to be picking up a T-Mobile HTC One on Saturday.

Am I locked to the T-Mobile section when it comes to ROMs, or may I flash anything in here? I've only ever been on Sprint with CDMA phones, so I'm a little confused about this (there is a dedicated T-Mobile HTC One section, but there's not much going on there in comparison to here).

Thanks for your help!
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECEXCURSION:
T-Mobile can flash regular M7 ROMs. Most One ROMs include an option in the beginning of the installer to choose your carrier. Just select T-Mobile and you're good to go. The only real difference between the carriers are the settings needed for the 3g and 4g data connection.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LiquidSolstice:
I see. So does that AROMA option set up the APN configuration for me, or do I have to manually set them?

I just want to get this out of the way now because it seems to be old-hat for GSM phone users and I am unfortunately quite ignorant about how it all works.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ECEXCURSION:
It sets it up for you. Just stick to the regular m7 section for all your ROM needs. Imho there shouldn't be a seperate T-Mobile section.

Everything will work without having to manually set the apn. At least this is how ARHD works.

That's wonderful news. The developer community here seems to be incredibly vibrant and active, I'm excited to see what it brings.

Thanks for your help!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] cell128:
While this isn't a deal breaker as I get 4g about 90% of the time, it may be a bummer for other people. The galaxy s3 can do data and voice simultaneously while on 4g and 3g. I don't know why they did not include it on this phone. The gs4 only does simultaneous voice/data while on 4g. I download files all the time as well as ROMs and would hate for my download to be interrupted or broken if a call comes in. Just posting this to help anyone who has not yet purchased their s4 and has to have this feature... You have been warned!!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yyhd:
i remember no Verizon phone was able to get data while on a voice call prior to 4G LTE deployment. And I remember AT&T took that as a marketing advantage against Verizon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] camaroz28:
3g, being CDMA for Verizon, is not capable of supporting simultaneous voice and data. The Verizon Galaxy SIII was not able to do it on 3g either. Hopefully it won't be a problem too much longer as Verizon moves away from crappy CDMA and covers the whole country in tasty LTE.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yyhd:
^this! word!

yea, most areas already have 4G LTE compared to the other big 3 providers. I'm very happy with Verizon's LTE coverage.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mayze23:
The GS3 IS capable of doing voice & data simultaneously over 3g CDMA. I've done it many times. For the first few months of owning the GS3 my area was 3g only and I would talk and surf simultaneously all the time.I wasn't able to do it on any of my previous phones.

Thankfully I have LTE now but the GS3 can do CDMA+Data
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sdnick484:
I'm not familiar with the GS3, but I know the Thunderbolt was capable of simultaneous voice & data in either 3G & LTE, but that was because it had multiple onboard radios. The major downsides with having multiple radios is that it raises cost and constantly draws power (even when off due to leakage current). They probably made a design decision to not include additional hardware for simultaneous connections because LTE has become prevalent (as well as WiFi) so this isn't a major issue for most folks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Sparatan117:
It was my understanding (since I've been with verizon, and 3 phones so far) that CDMA is 1X (equivalent of Edge on GSM) and EVDO is 3G while 4G is LTE (which uses a GSM style signal if I'm not mistaken also).

Granted the only phone I was forced to use 3G on was the Thunderbolt (no 4G LTE yet) so I guess I can't compare, but this is interesting if it actually is true. I'll have to try it later... tether in 3G mode and call someone
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] syntrix:
Thunderbolt, that was a huge "forum" selling point on VZW. I don't think they ever publically marketed that feature!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yyhd:
i dont think they did on commercials, but i do recall them advertising it some other places like radio or something else.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
That is patently false. You may want to read the white papers on the last couple of generations of Snapdragons as well as the FCC filings for some phones. The simple fact is that the Verizon Galaxy SIII is capable of SVDO, along with a handful of other phones such as the Incredible 4G, Rezound, and Thunderbolt.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yyhd:
I guess it's good to be set straight and educated. Thanks for lesson, Najaboy. :) I honestly did not know this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] najaboy:
Actually... thank you for not taking my post the wrong way. In hindsight, it could have been worded better so as to not have a condescending tone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] yyhd:
Lol no worries.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mexiken:
So does the S4 have ehrpd or not????
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdadevnube:
I think that all 4G Verizon phones do. More interesting to me is whether the S4 has SVDO like the S3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 318sugarhill:
My HTC Rezound was able to do data and voice over 3g as well. I'm a little underwhelmed and overwhelmed at the same time with the S4. I like it, but there are some things I liked better with HTC.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Berzerker7:
SVDO on Verizon was never simultaneous over 3G itself, but data over 3G, and voice over 1X. eHRPD has nothing to do with SVDO as it's just the communication network used to hand off 1X to 4G. Apparently the Sprint GS4 can't do SVDO either, so it seems to either be a limitation of the new radio in the Snapdragon 600, or Samsung chose to not add in support this round.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] mexiken:
You're a little confused on what eHRPD does, but in essence, the rest is correct.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xdadevnube:
Alright, so it is pretty much certain that 3G and voice are not simultaneous on the S4?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] andross77:
Since Verizon now covers 497 markets and 95% of their 3G footprint is also LTE, this warning will only affect 5% of Verizon customers. Glad i'm not one of them. Sorry for those of you who still live in the Boonies....well not even just the Boonies since Verizon is often in the Boonies. You guys must live in the BOONY of Boonies! :laugh:

ODIN Installation (detailed)

Follow these instructions to the letter. Do not touch any buttons or checkboxes that are not listed below to touch!

- Download and unzip the CF-Auto-Root-....zip file (see posts below this one)

- If you end up with a recovery.img and cache.img file, you've extracted twice. You need to end up with a .tar.md5 file - don't extract that one

- (USB) Disconnect your phone from your computer

- Start Odin3-vX.X.exe

- Click the PDA button, and select CF-Auto-Root-....tar.md5

- Put your phone in download mode (turn off phone, then hold VolDown+Home+Power to boot - if it asks you to press a button to continue, press the listed button, or run adb reboot download command)

- (USB) Connect the phone to your computer

- Make sure Repartition is NOT checked

- Click the Start button

- Wait for Android to boot

- Done (if it took you more than 30 seconds, you need practise!)

NOTE: Sometimes the device does *not* boot into recovery mode and root your device. Just do the entire procedure again if this happens. If it still will not install root and such, make sure that in Odin "Auto Reboot" is not checked. Then after flashing, pull the battery, and boot with VolUp+Home+Power button to boot into recovery manually. This will start the install process.

New to Samsung? Unfamiliar with Odin? Think all the above is a hassle? Get used to it. It's very simple, and us Samsung folk use Odin (or Mobile ODIN ;)) for everything! It's so very very convenient once you get used to it. Notice the 30 second comment above? For experienced users, the entire process indeed takes only 30 seconds!

You may now optionally want to install and run Triangle Away to reset the flash counter.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] sorg:
I believe, Triangle Away is not possible anymore with stock bootloader on I9500.

Boot block now has hardware write protection till next power on and will be re-protected by bootloader with every boot.

see /sys/block/mmcblk0boot0/ro_lock_until_next_power_on

The possible workaround is to use engineering version of bootloader (can be googled), or hacked one (but probably won't be possible to flash through odin).

Engineering bootloader doesn't set ro_lock_until_next_power_on flag, but it has generic "SAMSUNG" logo instead of "Samsung Galaxy S4" (thus not for warranty claim)

Guys I need some help / advice please. I want to flash my phone with Wanam's custom ROM but I want to use Titanium Backup so I do not have to redownload all the apps and lose my save game progress etc.

I currently have a stock S4 (i9500), so I was going to put PhilZ CWM based recovery on, make a backup and then use CF Auto Root to root it so I can make use of Titanium Backup - although I read that CF Auto Root puts the stock recovery back on?

So what if I do the above and then after CF Auto Root flash PhilZ CWM again, will that cause issues with the root or perhaps even brick my S4?

Perhaps I should just do the CF Auto Root, Titanium backup, Wanam ROM (which is pre-rooted if I am not mistaken), pray nothing goes wrong and then once I am on Wanam put PhilZ back on?

I am rather new to Android so not too sure what the best way would be to go about this. With Windows Phone it was rather straight forward, everything build in. haha

EDIT: So got impatient and managed to get it sorted. Wanam is a no wipe ROM so didn't need to make use of Titanium backup but I did anyways. For those of you who may be interested I installed CWM and made backup, then rooted, then put CWM back on and it was fine. Flashed Wanam ROM via CWM and all fine and dandy :D
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] godmakarand:
if you will be flashing a prerooted rom, you may not have to first root with auto root! just flash wanam rom and then philz recovery

My i9500 average ram usage was about 800 before, I rooted with cf auto root and now average ram usage is about 1050

Also battery drains faster

Are these problems caused by a single superuser.apk??
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] nani67:
hi..,

i don't think that rooting is the problem.

check for any app running n the background..

my guess is chrome ( it eats up 500 MB in my phone )

and battery drain may be coz of some apps running in background.. u can check with wakelock detector, cpu spy.

check if media scanner has been active. ( it happened last night with my phone.. media scanner was active for 6hrs continuous and 41% battery drain )

Hello guys,

to clarify:

1) if I root my phone with CF-AR, I will not be able to get OTA/Kies updates anymore unless 2)

2) If I want to get OTA/Kies updates, I have to factory reset my phone after CF-AR

3) If I flash a custom recovery like TWRP after gaining root access, I will lose the OTA/Kies update ability anyway. Factory reset will not help.

But without custom recovery, I am not able to make a Nandroid backup before I want to flash(like a theme) or install something (like xposed framework and modules).

So, the CF-AR with following factory reset is actually only for people who never want to flash something. Right?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] DarkDr0id:
Guys,I'm new to Samsung. .

Does rooting thos device delete the data present?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Styrke:
I will make it easy for you.No OTA updates while your current binary and system status aren't official.Factory reset won't make you official.If you're on stock ROM pre-rooted then you may get ota if you disable superSU.

No it doesn't but it voids warranty and remove your ability of getting OTA updates.

If you want to keep warranty flash a stock ROM already rooted.

If you want to use a custom rom.Do a backup for your data with titanium backup.Go to Galaxy S4 I9500 original development forum pick a recovery flash it with odin then do a factory reset and finally flash your custom rom zip file.
