[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] james_lpool:
I got my SG4 from affordable mobiles in the uk, i've had the phone 2 weeks and in that time, my home button is much looser on the left hand side than it is on the right, if i tap both sides you can tell there is a looseness to it.

also my power button sticks into the phone when i press the lower part of the button (which is pretty easy to naturally do when you hold the phone in the one hand)

the bottom just sticks in and sometimes keeps contact and my phone has turned off once or twice because it still thinks the button is in.

has anyone else noticed either issue or is mine just faulty?

I have sent mine back today but would like to know if anyone else could try the above with theres and let me know if theres does the same?

thanks

james

Hi I also had same problem I had read somewhere there is some sort of problem with new version on few devices so first flash an old version of twrp and then once you can boot in recovery from there flash latest version.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monsieur_debile:
Hi, this is noob question about root, its my first android phone and i wonder if root is necessary in my case

as former owner of iphone, i had to jailbreak my phone since apple system is very restricted

Android is more open-minded

i dont want to brick and dont want to spend much time if anything goes wrong

ROOT is it safe? what is its purpose?

Sony has made great stock rom, light and reactive, now with the latest firmware, we got better screen calibration, black navbar...

should i switch to the root or not?

thanks you
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LitoNi:
It really depends what you want from rooting. Ask yourself, what do you want to mod? Want stock rom? See anything you like from this

Rooting is safe, not unless youre doing it wrong without reading the instructions thoroughly.

Root: granting the users access to system files.

Here is a list of terms you may find helpful.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monsieur_debile:
thanks but i am willing to root my phone but what if anything goes wrong

any backup before installing MODS?
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UncleLester:
When I first rooted my Android phone I was the same, why do I want to do this? I kept asking myself. Simple answer I just wanted to explore and get more understanding off what was in my pocket.

Have you unlocked your bootloader? Can it be unlocked? There is a really good site where there are step by step instructions on how to unlock it, it uses fastboot (to my knowledge - sometime since I done one).

Don't want to spend too much time if it goes wrong -- well how longs a piece of string? It will go wrong if you haven't read the proper tutorials don't go in blind, there are backup facilities available to you just find the one thats best suited for what you're doing.

Enjoy
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] monsieur_debile:
what should i do before rooting like backup?

is that easy to root phone?

Backing up is really for after rooting as you may try various mods or other roms. You can then back up with twrp/cm. Give rooting a go....

strange thing..

if i set "keep wifi in sleep" to never it just stays on.

i got cpuspy to see if it really goes into deep sleep but the wifi just stays on.

i know i had this problem with customrom JB on my LG optimus black but now i have official JB on my XT and got the same problem here.

i need to install a app to control the wifi like i want it too..

(i always set wifi to disconnect when the phone enters deep sleep, my experience tels me that 2g data drains less battery then wifi)

however i didn't really test drain level of wifi/2g data on my XT.

Hi Guys!

Since the jflte family of devices is almost exactly the same I thought I would post my I9505 (jflte) Rom here for you as well!

It has been tested by jfltetmo and jfltecan users and is confirmed working!

To install it, just download the I9505 rom and then flash the appropriate device specific package I created.

Download the rom from this thread

Download the appropriate device specific package

Install CWM or TWRP recovery.

Boot into recovery, install ROM, then install the device specific package then install gapps.

Wipe Data/Factory Reset if coming from another Rom.

Reboot and enjoy!

Your device name might show up as I9505. If you are bothered by it you can edit the file /system/build.prop in the rom .zip package before you flash it.

This does not affect the way the rom functions in any way.

Please let me know if you have successfully installed and running this rom on any of the US variants of the S4. I don't own the device!

Thanks for the help

Edit: also having bad connectivity problems. One bar to none where I would normally have 3-4 bars? What would cause this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] djthread:
Hm. After wiping, flashing RootBox-JB-i9505-victorator-20130528.zip, followed by jflteatt.zip, followed by gapps, my initial Samsung splash now has a "custom" lock icon underneath it, followed by a yellow triangle with exclamation point:

System software not authorized by AT&T has been found on your phone.

In tiny red text in the top right: "SECURE FAIL: KERNEL"

Looks like the kernel wasn't loki-patched for some reason? I thought this would be done for us as part of an i337 ROM distribution. Are we expected to loki-patch RootBox as part of installing it on the phone?

I think I followed the instructions... What am I missing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] doktor buknasty:
The rom isn't loki-patched because it was made for the I9505 variant. You need to flash Kt's kernel (AOSP version) after flashing RootBox.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] djthread:
Please pardon my ignorance, guys, but I just spent another 15 minutes googling around and still can't seem to locate the KToonsez AOSP kernel for my I337.

Perhaps such a link belongs in the AOSP / instructions since they seem to be specific to this phone?

Edit: Ah, of course I find it in the very next moment. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2292341
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] djthread:
Should we be expecting the I337 to have LTE on this rom? I seem to lose my data connection when I enable it. HSPA(+) does work.

I thought it might be because the I9505 doesn't support LTE, but it appears that it does...

This rom is amazing, guys. Kitchen sink style!

there is a new download for ROotbox for jflteattcan that I flashed alwerday - I thought If I flashed the second file you have here, it would change my build prop and convert the rom so it matched my phone type or will that not work with the file I originally flashed?

Data Slow to Make connection

I noticed a problem after installing the latest update from GOO.IM for jflteattcan - when I turn off my wifi connection, It sometimes takes as long as five minutes or more to connect to data.

I have tried changing APN's - MODEMS - and regardless of what I have tried, it happens every time

I can be connected at LTE - great speed and good connection - switch to wifi - and then when I turn wifi off - the data is very slow to finally kick in -

is there anything I can do to correct this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] azz72:
Someone needs to fix a few things. Like halo and some of the screens are way to small and also the notification bar is too unless its just me
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] drdingo21:
It supposed to be like that.

If you don't like it you can adjust the DPI to make it bigger in the settings.

---------- Post added at 10:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:27 AM ----------

Yea I noticed that too. I reboot seems to fix it but it doesn't want to switch to data after wifi is toggled.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mocsab:
When I reboot - it really doesn't effect it for me - Data eventualy connects - but sometimes it can take over 10 minutes. Not good -

This rom is very promising - but this is a killer for me - I need to be able to switch back and forth from wifi to data depending on where I am and what I am doing.

Other things like HALO would be nice but I can wait for those htings - this data connection thing seems like a critical issue to me...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] azz72:
drdingo21 I've tried and I either couldn't find the settings or it wasn't there.. I tried the going into the hybrid section and couldn't change it. I looked for over an hr.. I've even did 4 reboots to see if that would work and it didn't..I really want to use this but it drives me crazy wit the small screens.

And does this rom have halo????

The changelog is in the thread that you download the ROM from. Latest nightly 6/11 includes HALO
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] azz72:
Now how do nightlies work. Is that the rom or just a patch for the rom.

And how to install it. Do I install rom then the new nightlie or a different way. I DL to nightlies and it keeps failing...so now I'm confused wit it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] evodon84:
You should read more and familiarize yourself a bit more. Nightlies are a rom. Flashing steps are the same. Which recovery are you using?

Losing Data Connection when switch off WiFi

I posted earlier about a problem I am having - someone else mentioned they had seen the same problem but I wanted to know if there is a fix?

When I switch off Wifi - The data connection does not work for five minutes or more - when it finaly does work - If I happen to turn on wifi again and then turn off wifi - the data connection is lost again - and it takes five minutes or more to get it back.

I have tried everything to fix this - I have never seen this issue on any other rom - curious why it is happening and what I can do to fix it? Anyone?

Try version 2.7
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] drdingo21:
2.7 what? The CAN version from 6-17 was the newest I saw and that one has this issue.

I tried it today but even keeping WiFi off the phone would just lose all connectivity for no reason and stay lost until a reboot.

PLEASE HELP ME OUT HERE!

I was able to go back to stock rooted via twrp and a restore but now what? did i do something wrong?

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] aliasgx:
Ah ok. U mean flash a kernel right after im done installing the rom in twrp?

Yes that usually pops on a loki issue if im not mistaken. So your steps would be to flash the rom, flash your preferred kernel(i personally like the chronic kernel) then flash your gapps package.
