SIM issues

An observation..

I'm traveling quite a bit and have 3-4 SIM cards, besides the issued AT&T one. Obviously I have an unlocked version (paid an arm and a leg for that), to stay legit, with the new BS law not allowing me to use different SIM cards overseas, but this is off topic..

Anyhow, during my recent trip out of country, I have clipped my foreign SIM , and had to place it into a housing to fit size. I learned, the hard way, the SIM housing in the S4 is quite flimsy, and 3-4 times over the 2 weeks trip, I got all sort of crap with network and voice, to a point even a boot was not sufficient. Being an EE I looked into the design and I can say for a fact that the SIM socket is going to give all of us grief if for some reason the phone gets jolted, or knocked hard enough on a table. It looks that the few milliseconds of power down (brown out) will make our super expansive phone become 'airplane' mode, until a reboot is taken place.

Sucks ? Oh yah.. but not a ROM related, not even AT&T's fault, but Samsungs push of lower cost Bill of Material . They needed it to be below $220 to make a buck and this SIM slot is one of those things one can save few cents..

Lucky for me, I don't show this with my AT&T SIM.. but I bet some of us do.. What may help is as people suggested - make it SIM a tad thicker, though i personally not very fond of anything that may stay inside the socket with adhesives..

As for the ROM itself - Simply perfect.. :cool:

So far my circle battery icon has been spot on, perfect, beautiful all day long. I have not yet seen the graphic % not match the actual %.

Granted, I have not yet charged my phone. I will continue to monitor it but so far so good here at work.

Is there a way to increase the mms send limit? I know you can download third party apps like go sms or chomp, but does anyone have a mod or a different way to increase this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoonDogg98:
Nottach xpossed mod does it but not sure if its compatible with this Rom and when I used it MMS would not work at all. YMMV.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] mbc663:
Nottach xposed module has this and mms size limit increases as well.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
Just got home and plugged my phone into the charger...the icon changed and updated correctly/normally as I would expect.

I wonder if any of you guys with issues are using a non stock kernel or some mod that's conflicting? When iB4STiD gets back he can probably figure it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
I doubt kernel would have anything to do with this but I'm not 100% I do not have any other mods. Still stuck at 79% on battery mod with actual at 77%
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoonDogg98:
It might be the kernel, I even thought that myself.. but I also have used Dean1650 battery mod's and it works fine with this rom/kernel combo. I am sure iB4STiD will figure it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] freebee269:
i have been using v1.3 with faux kernel v003. just want to confirm i have no camera issues and rom is running great.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] RaptorMD:
I am looking forward to installing this ROM, and based on everything I have read so far its exactly what I want. I do have a couple questions since its been a while since I tinkered with my phone(s).

-What/Where is the AMDL Baseband? - I searched and found it mentioned in other threads but they seemed to be other ROM related. Is it required for the AT&T I337?

- How are the add-ons installed?

- What is the Samsung Crap Pack?

- Kernel - Based on what I have read so far it would seem Adam's kernel is a good choice or is that more for the I337M rather than I337?

Thanks for your help.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] EVIIIL:
Just realized the only thing different I was doing from the OP directions was flashing Ktoonz kernel upon install. Wiped again, went through the setup and the camera worked fine. So those having the issue make sure you install and setup with the stock kernel first, open the camera, let the update happen, then install a custom kernel if you want. That should fix the issue. Thanks again for the awesome ROM and supoort.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] freebee269:
the mdl baseband can be gotten from doing the ota update when on stock rom. go into "about phone" in phone settings. you'll see your current baseband there. if the ending of it says mdb then you need the ota update in "system update" to get mdl. yes it is required.

addons are installed through recovery, cwm or twrp.

all the apps that come with your gs4 from samsung that are not needed to make your phone function. the crap pack allows you to install whatever samsung app you want on your phone through an apk installer gotten from google play store. (need to be rooted)

i have at&t gs4, havent ever used the adam kernel. it seems the people talking about the adam kernel were the ones using i337m. you should use a kernel that is made for your version of the gs4. currently using faux kernel v003 and things are working fine as if i was on stock rom kernel except i get added kernel features that werent in the stock kernel.

glad you got it working. with v1.3 you wont have a camera update anymore. even after a clean install. at least i didnt and a few others confirming they didnt also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jake_MS3:
Any chance we can get a zip for the regular icons? Changing the device name in the build.prop doesn't work. I liked the Tmo icons the best. LTE shows up as LTE, hspa+ was 4G.

Also for some reason I lost the ability to use es file manager as a root browser. I couldn't edit anything in the system. Had to download another root file manager. Anyone else with similar issues?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] freebee269:
Did you change the folder in es to r/w?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Jake_MS3:
Well idk what happened but now its working fine. I had installed and uninstalled multiple times but its fine now. Before it kept giving an error saying my device couldn't perform this action when trying to even get to the mount system menu.

Hey iB4STiD,

Looks like you created an awesome rom. I can't wait to try it out. Just had a few quick questions just to be on the safe side. I am running the Task 650 AOKP rom with his kernel. If I wanted to come over to your rom would I have to do anything special other than a full system wipe and your directions in the OP? Using CWM recovery here. I do have the baseband you require.

Thanks
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] freebee269:
what i did coming from aokp in cwm was go into mounts and storage and format system/cache/data/sdcard/ and data/media. this will not mess with the encryption on your internal sdcard like it does in twrp. you will also keep your radio. then install this rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] robstunner:
Here's what I mean with the icons on 1.3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] obriane217:
Yea, mine did the same thing. I just went in and changed the build prop name from xx to att then rebooted and all was good.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
you guys sure its not the fact the coverage may be switching from lte to 4g.. only time 4g icon will show is unless your well getting just 4g. I switched that out to replace h+ which is American 4g not lte

also after build prop change keep your eye on it it will still switch back to 4g symbol... our base bands r not the latest nor optimized for this firmware
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Slade8525:
lmfao

thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] geekdadof3:
I installed v 1.3 and everything went super smooth. Running well....I did get the camera update message but it updated and never came back. I am running stock kernel.

Thanks iB4Stid for making an AWESOME ROM!!!!!!! :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] balpreetsaini:
I added this a few pages back but will do so again. For stock like Tmobile and Canadian lte icons.

Copy the downloaded systemui to the system/apps folder.

Systemui ui will force close and restart the phone. You will now have the correct icons.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thanks! and ya you should be fine kernel is loki'd, just wipe like a madman b4 flashing my rom
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] freebee269:
my icon looked the same as the icon in the screen shot above. i went in and change it from lftexx to lflteatt and now i get the original att icon but now i also have att back in the status bar to the far left. but that doesnt bother me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jerrah:
Me and bastid tried to fix my smart features not working last night I did everything to the "t" but I still can't use smart scroll :( it works with all Roms if its not the new updated firmware thing
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Quick tip

do not flash a kernel right after flashing my rom!!

1. wipe

2. flash my rom

3. reboot

4. setup phone

5. reboot phone

6. then if you have the need

7. reboot into twrp/cwm then flash a custom kernel
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
Dont have this problem on this rom and don't have it on mdob.. maybe your phone dislikes samsung gimmicks? :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I walk away for a few days... and bam, another update... Time for an OTA updater:cool:

BTW [MENTION=1563782]mbc663[/MENTION] do you find this rom to work as well as Phoenix...... :laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] yeroc1982:
Whenever I get a txt message I get no ring, only vibe. Checked all my setting and all seems like it should be working. Incoming call rings though
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] shin.andy:
I tried this and it didn't work! I followed the steps and installed the framework first, but it doesn't work. Is there another option? Can someone make an mms apk with emoji and increased mms send limit?

SIM error

Thank you for this tidbit. I just had the "no SIM" emergency calls only AGAIN, this makes the fourth time in the first week.

I came here to report and saw this post you put up about a flimsy socket and I got to thinking how this thing has already been run over by a truck. Literally. A big black SUV. After the front tire ran it over, the S4 wearing it's trusty Otter Box bounced off the bottom of the truck then clattered to the pavement again to be run over by the back tire. I thought it was a goner.

I'm still a conspiracy theorist, truther, and gun rights wing nut, but adding up all the evidence against your report of a flimsy slot, I put a small untouched by human fingers 1/4" square of transparent scotch tape to fit squarely in the center of the SIM chip and pressed it nice and noted it fit the slot more snugly. Perhaps that will fix it. Fortunately I'm not having to swap it out all the time like I would the SD card.

Thank you for the report, and hopefully this will be my last SIM error report.

---------- Post added at 01:07 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:57 AM ----------

My S4's been run over by a truck. It hurt the Otter Box it was wearing but the handset miraculously survived. I used tape like you said. So far so good. A tiny square a quarter inch by a quarter inch centered on the back of the SIM transparent Scotch tape. The SIM fit a bit more snug. Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] polish_pat:
I just screwed up my goldeneye rom...i'm so pissed. I wanted MG1 modem, so i flashed ODIN MG1, then rooted, then installed GE, not it works like crap, wifi doesnt work, cant boot into recovery from rom, it doesnt detect my SD card....bummer
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoonDogg98:
New development... So I was doing some thinking.. I noticed my Dean1650 center clock mod was not working after the CBP Mod was installed... so I thought maybe there conflicting.. so I flashed the stock System UI from Dean1650's post and then reflashed CBP Mod. Well what happened was that it was still showing off.. 94% while it was really 91% but when I plugged it into charge it goes to the correct %. See screen shots below.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dean1650:
What battery are you guys talking about? If you can point me, I'll look.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoonDogg98:
Thanks Dean1650 its Battery Mod 1 in the OP of this thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] brocabortzfield:
Anyone know how to get rid of that on the lockscreen?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
So this is weird. I flashed battery mod on top of the circle nod and it reverted back to stock battery with percent (I have it turned on in display) to the left. (I saw screen shot of second battery mod being percent inside the battery bar not outside ) I guess I'm back to stock battery!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Dean1650:
He did the mod a little different than mine. Should work, but if I can find the icons for charge animation I'll make a mod and see if it works.

EDIT: do you know what number the icons are? There are far too many to look at

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
mine is spot on as wel..

are u using the att net icons?

dean i have all the gfx if u need them.. i didnt like the charging animation so I changed it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] pham818:
yeah, no problem. if it happens, just stack more tape on it, i have like 2 layers on mine. haven't had the problem since.

how was it ran over by a truck anyways?

use a different widget, i use this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=cz.kinst.jakub.jbplus
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] MoonDogg98:
I am using the att net icons.

Here are all my mods..

Torch

att iNet icons

CBP

CP - Then used script to get rid of what I did not want..

in call record

MF8 White center clock

CRT off

KT-SGS4

I also tried MF8 1% batt and it worked fine...

on side note... everything else works perfect.... I love this ROM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
thanks man, so the center clock stays when u change the battery to the circle mod??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
Yep att net icons.

Other mods that in have are crt off, torch, and white dialer, aosp browser. That's it...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
so both of u have the buildprop change in common .... pm sent to u both .. let me know how it works after that

Swipe down, swipe left to add another widget, then drag and remove the ones you don't want.

I use Zooperwidget instead :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ThePublisher:
Did a search and was surprised/disappointed not to find this in this thread.

After a completly clean install from UAMDL as per the instructions everything was great. Installed crap pack, did a couple of mods, everything was great for about a day. Until late last night all of a sudden I get a notification for a 'sign-in error for XXXXX@gmail.com' and also have no WiFi. It says open WiFi found but shows nothing when clicked. I've done a cache/davlic wipe and fixed permissions with no change. 'Signing in' doesn't do anything either except make that go away for a few seconds.

Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
what were those couple of mods?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] brocabortzfield:
That doesn't do it...

---------- Post added at 09:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ----------

That doesn't work either...every time a message comes in it pops back up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
I'd say that's the only thing keeping this battery mod from being perfect. It's beautiful - but lacking a charging animation/graphic, as far as I can tell.

Wireless

I'm back in my office at work after being out for a while, and first time with MGA update...

I noticed that for some reason i'm not able to connect to my wireless AP here.

We have 802.1 EAP AP's.

(Actual: PEAP method with MSCHAPV2 authentication)

Anyone has / tried to connect to similar AP's with any success?

It looks like i'm able to authenticate with my domain credentials, and then it tries to obtain an IP, and fails (Failed to obtain IP message).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ThePublisher:
Circle battery, samsung CP, shutter sound disable, transparent widget, call record, torch. All of that is working flawlessly.

I figured out my issue was coming from xprivacy. It blocks things it shouldn't, even after removing all permission restrictions I still had this issues until completely uninstalling xprivacy. Back to LBE for me.

Thanks for your help. GREAT ROM!

I got this "adapter" in the mail today. It's the same size as my driver's license and all my credit cards. Just up from center is carefully carved an opening exactly the size to hold a full size SIM chip flush with the card.

I left a message on their phone and sent them a email describing what I was looking for and was putting what they sent me into my round file. Glad the $5.45 isn't going to break me.

So I will advise against that link I presented until I resolve this issue with "smartfocus".

That's what I should have told them. Focus. I want to use the little one to light up the old one that needs the ... nm

Ib4stid do we need to flash the updated battery mod v2 if everything is working? What's the exact update if you please?

AT&T S4 | GOLDENEYE 4.0 | MF3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] iB4STiD:
battery mod 1 I changed the graphics for when its charging.. and I updated the mod 1 and mod 2 to work with anyone who d/l'ed the att net icons, the buildprop change was causing the battery percent to not change correctly with the actual percent. so ya if your using the stock network icons ur fine... but when using the att icons you will want to update... either way you can update if you want no harm in doing it :good:

Have been running this rom for awhile for awhile now and just 2 days ago decided to use NFC and realized the icon did not show up on the notification bar. Was it removed or does it mean my NFC is not active? Besides that everything else works great. Thanks.

Hey man I love this ROM. I've installed it on a couple of my friends s4. By any chance is it possible to get the pop up browser that's on the galaxy note 2 and be able to have any app on the multi window?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] jeffreii:
Circle battery mod even better! Flashed it and all looks good - with charging gfx! I kind of wish it still showed the % somehow but you can at least estimate it by looking at the circle graphic. :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bizarre48:
NFC is working for me, you're using stock battery right?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] str8spd2001:
The NFC icon never showed on the stock. I just recently flashed the mod 1 batt icon this evening so I don't think that made a difference.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] latinohot:
I see there's no more talk about the NFC force close anymore, I take it has been fixed.

other than that, any advantage to update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
To fix NFC fc's was easy as disabling samsung nfc payment. It was not needed anyways. Still should do it. Reasons to upgrade is in OP. Much cleaner and newer FW

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] gravedigger76:
When you flash v4.0 it will flash with stock kernel and overwrite KT. If you want KT back you'd have to flash that after you flash rom.

Boot Loop

I keep getting random bootloops. I have wiped and reinstalled the rom several times. The last time was working good, and then I go to restart the phone and BAM.. Bootloop. I have no clue what is causing this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] latinohot:
any add-ons you installed?

did you change Kernels?

any rouge app?

last case scenario, I'd re-download, and check md5 and reflash
