I moved into a new home and the reception is rather bad - I'm constantly going in and out of 3g/4g. Obviously a modem can't help reception if I'm far from a cell tower, but it can't hurt right? Does the modem affect wifi as well? I have so many issues maintaining wifi connection to my dual band AC router at home.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] D0CTOR:
It's my understanding that if you flash the "Retail Modems + NON-HLOS" on our MDK bootloaders, we would loose the advantages we have from being on MDK. I could be wrong, but it's worth a look to just to make sure.

---------- Post added at 09:45 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:39 AM ----------

To be honest, I don't know if it affects WiFi, but I would imagine that it does. I have a dual band Router, and have no problems with the NC5 modem, and WiFi reception on the AC band.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
We can just flash the modem in safestrap?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] D0CTOR:
Yes, you flash in recovery
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
So MDK users would flash which modem. Little confused as which one is the next one. I have decent service but I'm willing to try and see if the new one is little better.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] D0CTOR:
I'm on MDK and flashed I545VRUFNC5_modem.zip. Works great!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Just woke up. But it's been a min for flashing something. I'm itching. Lol. Thanks!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] D0CTOR:
I hear ya, no KitKat yet, might as well flash something to stop the jones'n!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Just flashed. I'll give it time. Hopefully it'll show some improvement. I can't tell at home. I have the booster they sent me. I'll be out in bout soon and tell a difference.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trud9340:
What is this booster you speak of? And who sent it to you?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
Yes sir, surge has a thread with all different modems.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
I called Verizon as soon as I switched from Tmobile. Where I live I have signal but it's very low and faint. In order to get better service I told them to send me a network extender and it's free of charge and works like wifi calling working off GPS signals. 300.00 bucks for free and I have full service in my house. 5000 circle range.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] maddog00:
Thanks for the help.

Basically, flash the modem if there are issues with the new Hyperdrive. If no issues, it's optional.

Would we need to flash the new modem if we want to get the fancy XLTE that's starting up? Not that I feel that I would need it. I get over 1mb/s as it is.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
It's been turned on for months Verizon just rebranded it. If you're modem is mj7 or higher you're already capable
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shpotik:
Never heard of such a thing, but that's cool!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
See the signal has a little house on it. Every cell phone company has them.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Little blurry I was too close but yall get the idea of what it looks like.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 1Raiders:
Exactly what I have also.

Makes a world of difference.

E's S4
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Man I didn't think they was going to send me one that easy but I asked and the guy was like well yea we can send you one. I remember asking tmobile and never got one or even on a list.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] shindiggity:
This update is taking awhile to Release compared to the other phones that were released, must be giving him issues. Can't wait for a release!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trud9340:
What exactly does this do? Increases reception INSIDE your house? I assume you have good reception if you go outside? This doesn't actually increase your signal, just helps pass it through a wall or something?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Where you don't have service. It gives you service. It puts a 5000 feet circle circumference around the perimeter so you can have service. Works off GPS. Just stick it close to the window and hook it up to dsl or computer net input and dail the code number and it's activated.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trud9340:
So its not 4g? If it's working off gps, what kind of speeds does it give you?

Btw, sorry to temporarily hijack the thread :o
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
I'm not sure about speeds. Just makes it where you can receive and make calls. Your phone isn't much of a phone if you don't have service. Lol

location services

Been trying to turn on location services but it's blacked out and only works under non safe side. Any thoughts? Was trying to turn on a tracking software after having a friend have his s4 stolen I think I might want it. Any help appreciated. Gives error of setting when slide the tab to turn it on.

Just searched and see this is a problem for many. A clean wipe may solve it but anyone else got an easier answer.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thenork:
I had a problem where Location services was suddenly off and I could not turn on, it would keep crashing settings.

I was able to fix with the app SQLite Editor:

Go to:

Settings storage (com.android.providers.settings)

settings.db

secure

location_providers_allowed

(com.android.providers.settings.secure.location_providers_allowed)

it was empty, I changed it to "gps,vze_lbs,network" (no quotes), saved, then I could turn on and off location services ok.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jonasmckee:
for like a week, i keep thinking to myself.. "Ok today would be great! for rls16 cause i have tonight free!" then i think "ok tonight would be great cause i have a day off tomorrow!",

now i don't have free time till saturday.. so..."tonight or tomorrow will be a great time to drop rls16 so i can set it all up this weekend!".. it's kinda like when i was in highschool and i asked this HOT girl out on a date and she said YES, but would let me know when we could go out... sometime this week!

i am in no way calling [MENTION=4600715]sbreen94[/MENTION] a girl nor do i think he is HOT!.. but i do think he makes the best roms!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] pfizzle:
Weird, my location settings bugged out recently too. It would make my system crash everytime I toggled them but this method fixed it! Thank you!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] psu90:
It can't really be using GPS for the signal transmission. GPS is a one way signal. It's using the GPS location of the booster and the GPS location of the phone to limit the range.

I've seen two type of boosters. On that actually rebroadcasts the Verizon cellular signal from outside/inside and inside/outside. Just like a wifi range extender. The other use act as a mini-cell tower and uses your broadband to connect back to their central office to go land line or out over cellular. It sound like what he has is the latter.

Oh i have just nothing as superior as this ROM.... Nothing can beat it....... Samsung should hire Scott! :D
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] RoyalYeo:
i been having an issue with my rls15, for some reason it keep deleting my google account and asking me to add it again , sometimes it would happen if i reebot the phone and sometimes it just happens while trying to download an app, had this happen to anyone else?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jon53179:
Stupid Question here.... but i have SafeStrap 3.72 kitkat installed with Surge's 4.4.2 in Stock slot.... my question is can i use stock slot for HD15 or am i forced to use a Rom Slot? Forgive me if this has been asked.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] klabit87:
gotta wait until RLS16 man.

RLS15 won't play well with our 4.4.2 kernel I'm sure.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jon53179:
Ahhhh thats what i figured...,.. There is that itch again!

gps,vze_lbs,network

Worked for location services! Thanks much!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ffchampmt:
Network range extenders basically route the data connection "backhaul" through your home internet. From what a rep told me the phone recognizes this and switches to the lower frequency voice bands that are boosted by the extender and sends data over your internet. You have in effect wifi and a cell booster.

Yea guys. It's called Network Extender. Works just like using wifi calling. I had service here at home but I have better service with it. Never miss calls now or drop them. Can't beat it for free.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BCJ2:
must be nice to get one free from verizon they told me I would have to pay $249.99
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
You're kidding me. It was my first week with them. I called on my second day with the phone. Noticed I was dropping a few calls and missed one. I also told them this is why I left Tmobile and came to them. That might have helped. Lol

Trying to install RLS15 on tmobile SS, flash rom then compatibility pack for tmobile, the phone boot normally but when I'm at beginning of the phone set up, i can't go next step I got stuck in the wifi setup there is no skip to tap on, Flashed this two days before and didn't have that issue but have some bugs so decided delete rom slot and start everything again, any help, I try installing again and same thing. What can I do. Help please

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] busbyeie:
any chance this one will work with the international side ? I REALLY want to use this rom after I installed it on my buddies 2 week old verizon note 3.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Really not sure. It's very hard to port a Rom. Not saying he wouldn't do it. It's harder to port it vs building it.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] busbyeie:
Yea I am sure it is & I appreciate that fact aswell as all the hard work that you guys put into these cool roms, just wish I wasn't such a noob when it came to these things. I should have just kept my buddies note 3 and said I lost it lol, I could only get HD to install and load once I had installed Omega then did a full wipe in TWRP but I know some couldn't even get it to load so I feel some sense of achivement at least on that side.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshm.1219:
It's a lot more work to build a rom then port it...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
That's basically what I was saying. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Well after reading your post, I spent 52 minutes on my lunch break on the phone with Big Red yesterday. I was put on hold for 15 minutes and switched to a higher up tech. While from describing my issue with him of not getting more than 1 bar anywhere in my house, having to be in certain spots to take and receive calls, can't even dial say 911 from my bedroom if I had to. The best so far he could tell me is IF they determine I actually need one of these devices, it will cost me $264 plus tax as they purchase them from Samsung and pass the costs on to the customer. I reminded them that I've been a customer for 10+ years with them and it is discouraging to have this kind of problem with service in my own home. It all started to get worse about a year ago when several developments went up near my home $1million dollar + 3 story homes. I also have woods (lots of trees) around me and the problem worsens this time of year through early fall.

As it stands now, the tech said he is going to send some of their field service people out to the nearby towers in my area to see if they can "Tweak" something.

/Sorry to keep off-topic but since this conversation arose in this thread, thought I would share my experience!

:good: for a RLS16! Sounds like it's coming along.. Good work as always Scott! ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] peppersu812:
Man. I have no idea why they wouldn't even send you one in a min. If you was to lose one good paying customer you're losing money regardless. Maybe cause I was new and told him that is why I switched. Who knows but I hope it works out for ya. Bring on 16! Lol. ?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] trud9340:
Customer support isnt what it used to be...There are VERY few companies that I have good customer support experience with. It didn't always used to be this way - people(corporations) have gotten way more greedy over the years and aren't willing to shell out pennies to keep their customers happy.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sbreen94:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] ViperZ28:

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
Just an update. The Verizon rep called me back and said they were able to determine that nothing could be "tweaked" with the towers in my area. After some lengthy discussion and reminding him my contract was coming up later this year in the fall and I might be shopping if the reception were not to improve in my house, he finally agreed to send me one of these extenders at "No charge". I remained calm yet assertive with him. Overall, I was treated with respect other than the initial hassle of being threatened with having to buy the damn thing myself, lol

The call quality is fine but the people cone through really quiet on my end I do have nuud life proof case on but I think it may be a rom related thing any fix.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] lazer9:
When in a call, have you tried toggling the volume the whole way up? I know this sounds obvious, but I've neglected to do this a few times when on a new ROM and that solved it.
