You might have WiFi calling enable. It will shut off the radio and you will see no signal bar.

When you connect to WiFi and signal is gone, have you tried making a phone call?

Go into Settings>More Network and see if WiFi calling is enable.

I turned off Wi-Fi calling and still no success.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dystopiangirl:
That worked, thank you! Why does it turn the radio off when you have WiFi calling on though? I find that kind of strange...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] baseballfanz:
WiFi calling is used when you have no or very low signal. It use WiFi to connect to Tmobile's server to route your calls and messages.. Since there's no need for the radio it get shuts off.

Screwed!

So over the last week I have learned a lot from these forums, especially from skipjacks. Unfortunately I am now in another debacle. So it turns out that the cyanogenmod 10.1.3 stable was not what I thought it would be, basically wasnt for me. And as I have been reading I have determined that the wicked rom is most likely the one I want to flash to my phone. So I decided to stock my phone back to factory. The way I did this was by installing TWRP back as my recovery from it being CWM due to the fact that my backup file was done through TWRP. Once I did this I used TWRP to restore my phone to that backup file. So now that I was back using a stock rom. I connected my phone to the computer and opened up kies hoping to do what I did before and do a firmware upgrade and initialization. Problem was my phone was not being recognized by kies whatsoever. So next I did what this forum said to do http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2258628 and put stock everything back to my phone. Then i connected my phone back to the computer and now kies recognizes the phone but says "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies." So ofcourse im confused because I thought I just restored everything to stock so I figure it would recognize the phone without issues. But apparently something didnt go right throught this process. What I am not sure of. So lastly since I couldnt do a clean restoration, I chose to just deal with the restoration I had at this point, and go ahead and root and instal CWM back on which I did. After this was done, I connected my phone to the computer to transfer the files to install wicked v7 and gapps. Once done I went to install wicked v7 mod via CWM and it did not install simply returning the error code (bad). I'm assuming that meant a bad file.

My question is, at this point, is it because I dont have a tw kernel and that is why it did not let me install the wicked v7rom. Or is it because its truly a bad file, or do i still have to fix my phone by doing a genuine stock reinstall before I can proceed to install wicked v7? If i have to do a genuine stock reinstall, how do I make Kies recognize my phone as having a legit firmware so that it will let me do the factory reset/initialization

Did you check MD5 sum of the Wicked ROM file?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
All that was WAY too many steps.

If you wanted to switch from CM to Wicked here's all you needed to do...

Download the Wicked ROM install.zip file

Reboot to recovery.

Wipe data, system, dalvik, and cache

Flash Wicked Install.zip file

Reboot.

There was no need to flash back to stock, or get keis involved for any reason.

This has nothing to do with kernels. Wicked came with its own kernel that replaces the CM kernel as part of the normal install process.

Again, stop worrying about kernels. Don't install them. Don't worry about which one you have. They come with every rom. You don't need to worry about it.

Wifi not turning on

I flashed stock Touchwiz on my phone and everything works perfectly except now when I try to enable Wi-fi it automatically turns off and I get this message:

"The device has detected an application attempting unpermitted actions and has stopped loading. To protect your device, it is recommended you reboot."

I've tried rebooting but with no avail. Turned off "Verify Apps via USB" in the developers options too. (USB Debugging on enabled)

I tried to software update but my phone has been rooted denying access. I used Triangle Away to reset my flash counter (went down to 1 but now says original instead of custom) and I tried to update after a restart (and emptied cache) but I still cannot software update.

Should I try a software update successfully to see if my Wi-fi will work or must I try another method?

Hi all, im new here at this forum, and at android, 5 years had apple thing. for few days got galaxy S4 Lte-a edition from T-mobile in Germany. Just wanna to ask is here any root turorial for gt-i9506? and if no can i use the one for gt-i9505? :confused::confused::confused:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] a103:
NO. Please use the root procedure meant for your device variant only. Please search, read and try to get as much information as you can on your device gt-i9506 before you try to use root procedure which isn't for your device. Hope this is not confusing. I'll also try to search on this.

It could be a bad flash. If you have a nandroid back up of your previous ROM where WiFi was fine, try to restore that. Triangle Away won't help here.

Try and see if XDA has a swap separate thread for gt-i9506. I would go there first.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
This is a common problem after rooting the stock rom.

If you flash any other rom, touch wiz or aosp, this will probably go away.

If you really want to keep the stock rom but rooted, do a factory reset from recovery and see if that helps. Sometines it does.

If it doesn't try using odin to go back to bone stock and reroot. See if you get better results the second time.

I have had this happen twice on phones I was trying to return to stock. Both times it was cured by using odin to restore and rerooting.

so i have this guy running "plain android" and i have 2 questions

View attachment 2354101

1. Is it possible to install Samsung camera app on a this rom? I believe that picture quality is better in low light.

I already have the APK but it wont install, read write permissions are set. my gues is that relies on some other stuff.

2. How do you change the default save location for camera? i went through everything and cant find it. when in camera the menu button(bottom left) does nothing.

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Again...what ROM are you running where you are getting this problem?

OUDHS is a recovery and should have no impact on the ROM operation at all.

How did you install this .tar file?

Be specific. Provide exact steps of what you did and maybe I can help you. But if you're just going to give me small snippets of the total picture I can't possibly figure out what's wrong.

Leave no details out. Start at the beginning and be VERY descriptive.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
No. You aren't doing anything wrong. It's just not possible. A slightly less quality camera is just one of the drawbacks of using AOSP roms. It's one of those tradeoffs you have to either accept or go back to TouchWiz roms.

That's a weird one. I'm not sure. Is there an on screen settings button next to the camer trigger button?

Take a look at my screen shot. Look at the little circle to the right of the main button in the middle at the bottom. Clicking that brings up that arcing menu you see above the bottom buttons. From taht menu you can change the save location.

However I'm using SlimBean ROM which uses the CyanogenMod camera. Depending on what ROM you are running it might be a different camera app.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Buddy, there still is almost zero detail here about what you did.

Now you're skipping the part where you installed OUDHS Recovery. So I have no idea where that part comes into the process or what you were trying to do. Right now I'm not sure if you were trying to install a recovery, update your stock rom, install a custom rom, or what.

Unless you give me a detailed list of EVERYTHING You did from start to finish I cannot help you.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
You may have an older version of whatever ROM you are running that doesn't have that added to the camera settings yet. I know Slim ROMs didn't have the ability to switch to SD card storage like a month ago. It was a feature added to the camera settings menu on one of the updates.

Maybe you just have an older version that hasn't been updated yet.

What ROM is this? And what is the build date of the version you are running? It should be in the 'About Phone' section of the ROM settings menu.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
Wait...you have no sound for anything? Or certain sound files for certain sounds are gone?

Try a different recovery too. OUDHS is probably the least used recovery for the S4. So it make have some unknown bug that is messing things up.

It's the thread specific for that ROM.

If the feature isn't available and is a must have, switch to a different ROM that is updated more often. Slim is great without losing that clean AOSP feel. CM is solid too. More of the CM variants to great for that matter.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrgonzodad:
Hello all, just got my S4 a few weeks ago and was hoping I could get some clarification. I have an SGH-M919, baseband M919UVUAMDL. Got it through my regional carrier, Alaska Communications. TMOUS is our roaming carrier outside of AK, and this appears to be a TMOUS variant without the carrier bloat.

I have been reading up on custom kernels and looking at TW based roms. Do any of the kernels (KToonsez's is the first choice) or ROM's change my APN settings to TMOUS ones?

Coming from a CDMA SCH-R760 (generic USCC S2) with very limited dev support I am a bit overwhelmed as to where to start, and hesitant to try changing things too much right now.

My phone is stock with root via CF-Auto Root, using Philz Touch Recovery (which is AWESOME) and I have been using some xposed modules but nothing else.

Thanks

re: twrp recovery

I read your previous posts and I am assuming that your phone is ROOTED.

(if not it needs to be rooted first).

To flash "TWRP" recovery the easy way you need "Goomanger". (a free app)

Here is the direct link for goomanager at the playstore:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.s0up.goomanager&hl=en

After you install goomanager open it and click the menu button (left softkey) and select

"installopenrecoveryscript", after that if I recall it will ask you to confirm your selection

so just click "yes" and then wait for the phone to flash the "TWRP" recovery.

After it's done reboot the phone into recovery mode to make sure you did everything correctly.

---------- Post added at 05:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:37 PM ----------

None of the stock based M919UVUAMDL Samsung Galaxy S4 Jellybean 4.2.2 custom roms

found here in these XDA forums and threads will change or modify your apn settings.

(that's unless you have personally changed the stock settings)

There are no kernels I know of which would change your APN settings provided that the

kernel was designed and developed specifically for your phone model and baseband.

Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrgonzodad:
Thank you Mister junky! I was stuck with ported roms on teamuscellular and they all did a bunch of uscc specific stuff to the build.prop and apn's. Time to top off my battery, make a backup and start flashing!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] AndroidNeophyte:
I think there are roms that have preset APN... When i flash a rom there is usually another APN listed that i dont have before. Just to make sure, take a screen shot of your APN settings
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
If you want to get technical, all ROMs come with preset APN's.

They then figure out what network your SIM card is set up with and only present you the options that will work with that SIM card.

So if you put a T Mobile SIM in you will see T Mobile or capatible APN's. Take the SIM out and reboot and you will see no available APN's.

There's a giant list of APN's for every carrier in the world. The whole file is only a few hundred kilobytes so it's embedded in most ROM's. Makes it easy to incluse all the needed APN's without the developers having to retype them everytime they build a ROM or risk making a typo that disables an APN.

But that's all in the ROMs, and has nothing to do with the kernels.

Talkback won't turn off

Hi everyone. For some reason, on stock apps like browser or gallery, or other stuff, every time I touch screen, the damn phone talks to me. "box check marked" "box is unchecked " "page loading " and so on. It even speaks what I'm typing in search box.

I just put several mods and a deodexed touch whiz ROM.

I have no idea what's causing it.

Any ideas on how to shut the damn thing off?

Thanks

Check your accessibility settings. Floating notifications has issues with TW, and sets off the talk back feature in the stick Samsung browser, other apps that use accessibility may do the same.

Good Luck

Use the first link on the first post http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2258628, it says "Download UVUAMDL Official TAR". Flash the rom from that link using odin just like the directions on that link say. Once you do that and the phone is back to stock recovery and stock rom, do not worry about anything working or not working. First thing you need to do after this is open up Samsung Kies on your computer. Once open connect the phone and hopefully if everything went right during the installation of the stock rom, Kies should recognize your phone. If it does and it says firmware on the phone matches the current up to date firmware, then in Kies click on the tools menu, then on the drop down menu click on firmware upgrade and initialization, then its pretty much self explanatory from there. You are basically restoring your phone again but this time using samsung kies, that way for sure you will have the official samsung rom for the phone. This is how i restored my phone after messing it up like 4 times since I am a beginner at this. This is how I have had to restore my phone everytime, and it works for me, maybe it will work for you.

If you install that .tar through Odin there is no need whatsoever to use kies after that. That .tar is the most up to date firmware. That whole kies process is just a wasted step after that.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
If removing the SD card brings sound back then you have a faulty SD card which is causing issues. Do a full format of the SD card and see if that fixes it. If not use a different SD card and see if its fixed. If a different SD card works but a format of the current SD does not, then your SD card is bad. Get rid of it.

Thanks everyone!

Hey guys, just wanted to thank Marlybru for the thread, a103, SaintCity86 and Skipjacks for helping me solve my issues!

I took your suggestions and flashed a custom ROM "FLight5" which is basically a "bloat-free" 4.2.2 touchwiz.

It's a double-edged sword so far because I do like some of the stock apps (which I just redownloaded from the Play Store, but I can't get some of the .apk apps running successfully. I'm going to find another .apk or find an alternative.

Another drawback is that I can't use S voice anymore because it really slows down the phone (not that I was a big fan of that anyways).

EDIT: S voice works without lag; when you set the option "Press home button twice to activate S Voice" the phone will have "lag-spikes" because it's waiting for the user to decide whether or not they will tap the home button twice. Once I disabled that feature, S Voice works without lag but still has a few twerks it needs (probably from adapt voice)

I still love this ROM and will continue using it for the time being. I made a backup of the original ROM (but with the Wi-Fi issues) and this current ROM.

Again, thanks so much for the help!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Skipjacks:
If you want to retain some of the bloat, just flash the stock ROM through Odin. Then root using CF Auto Root.

Then delete all the apps you want to delete and leave the ones you don't alone.
