[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] todivefor:
I have encountered a problem where the play store thinks my device is Verizon Wireless. I have been switching between roms (sacs-v4, CM11, Cm12, and pacman). I couldn't figure out how or where this occurred. I read in this thread that the problem is a rom problem and not a gapps problem. I started looking at my different roms build.prop to see if I could see anything strange, but couldn't. I then did a getprop on my roms and found this for pacman:

[gsm.apn.sim.operator.numeric]: [310120]

[gsm.current.phone-type]: [2]

[gsm.defaultpdpcontext.active]: [false]

[gsm.network.type]: [LTE]

[gsm.nitz.time]: [1422202653004]

[gsm.operator.alpha]: [Sprint]

[gsm.operator.iso-country]: [us]

[gsm.operator.isroaming]: [false]

[gsm.operator.numeric]: [311480]

[gsm.sim.operator.alpha]: [Sprint]

[gsm.sim.operator.iso-country]: [us]

[gsm.sim.operator.numeric]: [31012]

[gsm.sim.state]: [READY]

[gsm.version.baseband]: [L720VPUFNG2]

[gsm.version.ril-impl]: [Samsung RIL v3.0]

gsm.operator.alpha is correct, but gsm.operator.numeric is not. In CM11 and CM12 both fields are null. Sacs has "Sprint" and "310120", which are correct. Sometime during all this on the play store I had carrier "unknown", which must have come from CM11/12.

Where does this info come from as it is not in build.prop?

How can I correct this on play store after the fact?

Can this be corrected in pacman?

Anyone else getting a force close on the Display & Lights options in settings on the 3/8 lollipop nightly?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] blackmeth:
That's working fine for me.

Only issue I'm having now really is apps in resent are not always showing up
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Team Scream:
If anyone can help me I would be incredibly grateful. I installed pac_jftespr-lp-Nightly-20150319.zip and like a retard I did not install gapps when I was done flashing the rom. Now I can boot into the rom just fine and have a working phone, but I do not have a way to get back into recovery. Holding the volume up, home key/power key on boot just takes me into a boot loop. I am really pretty green with this stuff and am pretty much lost here...

Thanks.

Ok it seems I am in deeper now than I care to be. I thought I was being smart and going to try and load th elatest version of TWRP onto my phone thru Odin, but now I am stuck with the phone in the dreaded "firmware upgrade failure" screen .... Can someone please help me?

Literally 4 hours of pulling my hair out trying to get un-(soft) bricked and I finally managed to do it... Now I am back to a working phone, with this rom and NO RECOVERY or NO GAPPS.

Can you (or anyone) perhaps help me get a Recover and Gapps installed so I can at least test drive this rom ?

Thanks for the replies brother... Much appreciated.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MikeWjF:
Sideload this app and see if you can flash a recovery through it.

You can also try this one. Just navigate to the recovery tab.

Im sorry I was not clear enough for you brother... but I do NOT have Google play, I have no access to the store, or any way to download and install an app using the google play store..... I am not sure where I went wrong in my explanation.... Forgive me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MikeWjF:
Download the apks from those threads and sideload them. You just download them onto your computer, transfer them onto your phone storage, internal or external, navigate to them with the file explorer and install them. I'm aware that you don't have access to the play store, that's why i gave you links to the threads with the apks so you can sideload them. Rather than post links to the play store.

Just flashed an hr ago so far so good,call bug is not present so far other than one time hasn't happened since tho XD love some also, oh is there a way to speed the phones locking process? It'll lag if you lock and try to turn it on real fast not a big deal at all just was wondering BC sometimes I get text right after sending a reply I'm a busy man at work lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gr33nd3vil:
Most solid asop ROM out in my eyes ... Anyone remember how to change the notification bar DPI?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] maxpower7:
I've experienced that with every 4.2 AOSP rom I've ever used, and not just with this phone. It also seems to be present on the Google Edition rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gr33nd3vil:
Use chronic kernel an let me know if its there..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bluerap04:
My phone hasn't had the call bug that most people refer to (not being able to call back), but on every AOSP rom, including this one, I will get this bug where there is no call audio for either party, and I can't receive calls. Toggling airplane mode fixes this momentarily.

Has anyone else had this problem? Any suggestions? It's really making these AOSP roms (my favorite) unusable for me.

I'm on MF9 baseband.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] magics.:
Is any one having problems with sending mms or is it just me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mjs2011:
It looks like it all depends on your signal strength. I was having problems yesterday as well but it finally went through an hour later.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] magics.:
Yea i just noticed that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
I have been able to send all mms using stock app (and receive), sometimes takes a minute but works. I am in a lte area.. I'd recommend using go sms if you have issues, sends faster..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gr33nd3vil:
Mine are usually instant on stock SMS... have no issues sending or getting...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] carlosruizano:
I experience this bug as well. It happens randomly, so I just call back the person. I can't figure out what triggers it, but it happens with incoming and outgoing calls.

Does anybody know what RC1 means?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] :
Me three. Happened twice today.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] maxpower7:
Release Candidate 1.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] bluerap04:
Interesting, once I lose call audio, I have to toggle airplane mode to get it working again. Hanging up and calling back doesn't fix it for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] carlosruizano:
The latest RC1 release has the call bug as well. I also tried out the latest Carbon Rom and it does it there as well.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] PwnCloud:
How often does this happen? It might stop me from using this as a daily.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] b0tes:
Simply amazing

Just picked up the S4 this morning on the BOGO deal from Sprint.

Drained the battery to 7%, charged to 60%, and rooted using ChainFire's auto-root tool.

Installed CWM Touch and this RC1, plus the March JB GApps.

After a full charge, I'm still at 81% after 6 hours moderate to heavy use (exchange email at push sync, a few calls, internet, GMaps, and YouTube) and 44mins of screen on.

I am completely blown away.

I think I got the call bug, so I cleared phone data from the stock app manager, but to no success. I then rebooted into recovery and wiped cache/dalvik, and have been running full steam since.

Anyone have any luck running RC1 with KToonz latest kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gr33nd3vil:
Use chronic kernel
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] b0tes:
I'll give her a whirl. Thanks!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] b0tes:
insanity or anomaly?

I don't know if it's the phone or RC1 ROM (though neither would surprise me at this point), but I'm still running off the same charge from over 24 hours ago, with 3 hours of screen time and moderately heavy usage, and I still have 33% juice left to go.

I did charge for less than a minute when I connected my phone to my netbook to copy ChronicKernel over to my phone, but that's all.

Still haven't even had a chance to flash it though, and so I'm still running the stock PAC kernel.

If this type of battery life keeps up, I might not bother.

Great work Dev!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gr33nd3vil:
Nice I can't get my screen below 49%
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] carlosruizano:
Happens once or twice out of every10 calls. Outgoing isn'ta problem, missing incoming calls is frustrating though.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sniper:
I just updated from the E4GT to the S4 and am LOVING it!!! The screen alone puts the epic touch to shame :p

For anyone who doesn't know me, I'm the maintainer for PACman on the epic touch and a developer for PACman. I'll be in here a lot now that this is my primary phone :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] b0tes:
Yes, the S4 is as substantial a jump from the S2, no doubt.

Good to see you and looking forward to your contributions.

To fix GPS do the following...

For anyone having the issue with locking GPS on AOSP do the following... You will need root explorer or some type of file browser.

1.) Open file browswer

2.) Goto ETC

3.) Open gps.conf

4.)Put # in front of NTP_Server=europe... & NTP_Server=asia.....

5.) Save file & reboot phone.

6.) Go to Play Store

7.) Download GPS Status & Toolbox

7a.) MAKE SURE IF YOU HAVE NOT THAT GPS IS TURNED ON IN SETTINGS

8.) Open GPS Status

9.) Menu > Settings > Manage A-GPS State > Reset

10.) Exit out of GPS Status

11.) Now go to Settings > Applications / Apps

12.) Maps > Clear Data

13.) Then Open Maps & you should have a lock, mine was pretty instant.

Any issues please let me know.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sniper:
I'm planning on taking over as the maintainer for the sprint s4 since I have the device now. Yes, I've talked to papasmurf ;)

In related news... I just compiled and flashed a 4.3 version of PACman and it boots up fine and a lot seems to be working but I didn't get around to testing too much yet. Aosp keyboard and the softkeys seem to have some problems. The new cm focal app seems nice though :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Ckao:
Its a common problem with CM roms not sure if there will ever be a fix for it...I had to make an emergency phone call the other day and kept getting "call end" and couldnt call out. Frustrated as hell...tried every other cyanogenmod.... All known issue.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Rocklee99:
So from searching through this thread I understand there is a call bug, so to fix this the beat choice is to flash chronic kernel?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gr33nd3vil:
Idk if it fixes it but you can try it I don't have the call bug...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sniper:
I will be maintaining for the jfltespr from now on, I can't wait to see what this phone is truly capable of!

4.3 is working quite well right now :D

All core functions seem to work. We're still in the process of finalizing 4.3 and simplifying the settings though. Some settings may not work.

For root: enable developer options and change root access from apps only to apps and adb.

Download an alpha at http://pacman.basketbuild.com/index.php?dir=main/jfltespr/alpha/

Use these gapps: http://d-h.st/9V3

Agreed, the 4.3 chronic is running awesome here..
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] PwnCloud:
I'm not sure why but after flashing the latest alpha it's stuck on bootloop and TWRP won't get past the teamwin boot screen.

Edit 1: I flashed CWM and I can access recovery now, but still won't boot. I also can't seem to manage to wipe data. I don't know what to do.

Edit 2: I will try a wipe all zip.

Edit 3: Still won't boot, even with a different ROM. Why?

Edit 4: I finally got my phone to boot. I'm scared, but I'm going to try again (with a fresh download...)

There are three categories for this ROM. Which ROM are you guys talking about? The Alpha 4.3?

So I installed Alpha 4.3 and the old gapps let me just say....no!! haha the keyboard will not work and even after you install a keyboard I still have a message poping up telling me telling me the keyboard has crashed. So do you have the updated gapps for 4.3? :)

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cjwaggsrx8:
PAC in black was the shiz!! Now you got me fiendin.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sniper:
Pac in black is now part of PACman. Also, the ir blaster does work, you just have to get a working app like smart remote: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.remotefairy

Haha buy a $10 app when the one that comes from Samsung is free.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gr33nd3vil:
The one that comes with the phone is touchwiz don't like it go back to a touchwiz ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Rocklee99:
Thanks, BTW camera didn't work until I installed chronic kernel, didn't know if that was expected or not
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sniper:
Watch on will install if you sideboard the peel apk and will not force close or anything, but it does not work for sending ir commands... It worked for my TV on tw but not on pacman. Smart remote works perfectly on pacman and can be used for sooooo many more devices it's ridiculous. Just about anything with an ir sensor can be controlled with the app, like a radio, Xbox, fan, etc.

Hmm, for me the camera works fine.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Darth Pooh:
Memory Leak?

Is anyone else having a memory leak?

Clean wiped before installing and I have 1.2 gig used when running about 6 apps and it doesn't seem to really close out apps the way it should be. I might need to download the ChronicKernel and set it to aggressive but I wanted to know if this is normal?

Thanks for any input!

The fix that helped me

I'm using a Galaxy Nexus GSM. What worked for me is going to my apps settings. Settings>Apps>All (on the top) and then scroll down and find Google Services Framework and Google Play services. First clear cache and data for Google play services and then do the same for Google Services Framework, and then disable the service and then enable. You probably solved your problem now, but I restarted the phone right away after this just in case.

Thank you for the informative thread!

Just started to switch to Android after using BB for quite some time. The first thing I missed was BB's method of granting permissions. I noticed this when I installed Viber and (with the app's basic function aside) was not happy with the fact that it won't run with me denying access to my contacts.

Does this mean that Android is more vulnerable to threats? I'm quite confident Linux is secure but I wouldn't know if the developer inserted something malicious. And since I am unable to encrypt my data, I'm wide open right? (I read Android offers encryption since 2.3.4 but my phone says it's running on 2.3.7 and I can't find the option to do so.)
