modem/radio problems

I was playing around with adding a new boot image to my stock kitkat l600. After something went wrong, restored from twrp and thought everything was normal. Today I realized that incoming text messages aren't coming through. I can send texts, mms and make/receive calls, but I no longer receive text messages. I have tried reflasing, and even resetting my prl and reprogramming through my carrier, none of this has changed. Any ideas would be great, I have only been programming/flasing phones for a year and just as a hobby, this is the first time i have encountered anything like this.

Capacitive Buttons Issue

I have a problem on my capacitive buttons back and menu they work most of the time as long as i keep touching the screen or the buttons but after I don't touch the screen for a few seconds say 10 seconds, the capacitive buttons stops responding to touch and i have to like tap it a few times for it to respond again. this happens all the time even on CWM so im sure it's not on the rom since i've changed rom from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 even using custom rom still same issue. I'm not sure if its a software bug but the "off state" for the sensitivity of the capacitive buttons seems to be not syncd with the screen.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Lianthe:
Questions:

1. Can I flash any of these firmwares since I'm stuck on C-Rom 4.4.3 from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9205&pcode=0?

2. Is there any kind of sd card write fix for the I9205?

3. Is there a confirmed fix for the 16gb I9200?

Someone please help, I would really like to use this phone and I'm at a loss. The weird thing is the I9205 WAS working on C-Rom for over a week then the music I had on the card would being stuttering then stop then not playing at all. :confused:

My problem is even though I have seemingly unlocked my phone from Sprint, it still shows Invalid Sim. So its still locked out. if I could just get the phone to accept the Sim, it would register on the ATT network. L600.

Unlocked and flashing

I have the I527 model and had it unlocked. I want to flash 4.4.2 but I don't want to be relocked. Does anyone know if I unlock my phone, will it be relocked?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Yottahertz:
Hey I got an offer to buy a Mega from Sprint in exchange for my Nexus 4. The Mega is obviously more dumbed down then the N⁴ but I really need the big screen. My problem lies in the fact that I currently use Cricket (subsidiary of AT&T) so I am not sure if its possible to unlock the Sprint version to work with AT&T. So as far as I know there's two variants of the 6.3 Mega one international without LTE and the other has LTE. That being said I suppose since there's only 2 types and both use GSM I was wondering if the Sprint version will work with AT&T's Network?

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] :
I personally don't have a specific answer except that you would likely be better off getting an at&t branded device. There are issues obtaining root on the at&t model. I have the i9205 on another at&t variant (straight talk) and I get no LTE (only H+) as it uses international bars. However the value of a mega costwise probably exceeds that of the n4
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Yottahertz:
I wanted a Sprint version because of the issues AT&T has. But Can it be unlocked by Sprint themselves? So that I can ask the Seller to go to Sprint to unlock it. BTW I don't see how a dual core Snapdragon 400 with 1.5GB of RAM is better than a S4 Pro with 2GB of RAM so I am not quite sure why would this one be worth more. And the Mega has an Adreno 305 compared to Adreno 320 of the Nexus 4.

Sent from my Nexus 4
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] :
1. You don't mention the s4 pro anywhere so I don't have a clue what you're talking about

2. The mega is worth more than a used nexus 4 on eBay. Why do I know this? Because I sold my nexus 5 on eBay to buy an i9205.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Yottahertz:
I don't to get too off topic here but below is all I got say:

1) The S4 Pro is the CPU the N⁴ has and is much more powerful than the Mega

2) That's just the brand value. But I see your point

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] :
Regardless, hopefully someone who knows the answer about your sprint question can chime in

Yeah I know your answer wasn't exactly helpful.

if there isnt, Is somebody working on it?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] :
There are, but they are not posted on XDA. As the developer intentionally didn't post them here, all I can tell you is to do a google search and you will find them.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Zeuszoos:
I am trying to figure out if there is a Kernel available for my setup, like the "franco.kernel" or something, that will allow me more options, like overclocking, voltage settings, etc..

I have an SGH-M819N Mega, with the Samsung Factory KitKat 4.4.4 on it.

Does anyone have any idea if there's anything out there that I can do to install a custom Kernel? I know that I can install a custom ROM, but I'd rather stick with this one from Samsung, which I did myself, since I'm Rooted (I wrote instructions with file links if anybody wants/needs them).

Thank you for your time!

Hello, i'm pretty new on those things, but i'm not sure if it's my mistake or something else. I have Samsung Galaxy Mega Plus (GT-9152P, chinesse phone). I had it rooted before (it worked well with kingo root). Last days I wanted to install on it some custom rom and I got my phone a little bricked, so I installed back his stock rom.(Android 4.3 jb). From that moment I wasn't able to root it anymore and I also can't install any custom recovery. Does this mean it has locked bootloader? And if that's the reason what can I do to root it and install a custom recovery. I really need that because it don't have any google apps and it won't let me install/use them.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Hello everyone. I have the metro pcs version of the Mega.

Does anyone know how i can modify the phone so that calls can be louder? On calls both the loud speaker and ear speaker on the phone are very low. The call sound is even low via the headset vs other sounds.

Any help is appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] :
Is it rooted?
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
Yes.

I saw a mod in the other 6.3 versions and it helped but I need it much louder. I am bumping the music and and call comes in and it is low. Have to raise the volume. Then call ends and music is SO loud rofl.

I believe it is a SOC text file that needs changing but not sure...
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Zeuszoos:
Hey,

When you use the Volume and the Volume Bar appears, isn't there a symbol on the right end? If you tap that, doesn't it then show the different volumes (Call is one of them) and you can adjust them?

If that doesn't work for you, you can try an app like "Sound Profile" by Corcanoe (pay version is well worth it!). It adjusts way more than sound for you and you can schedule profiles with different settings too.

Just make sure if you're running KitKat on it, to go into "General Settings" in the apps' main settings and UNCheck;

"Automatically Check Settings When Starting"

And...

"My Device is 4.x or 5.x"

...under it. You MAY also have to uncheck "Ignore System Volume" as well. Try it first though.

I don't set up a phone without this app installed! It works fantastic on every phone I've put it on (diff makes/models) and it's the best investment on a paid app I've made and the Dev is a nice guy and supportive!

Anyway, the first thing I said might do it for you (you may have to unlink them), but if not, give the app a try.

Hope this helps! :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
The issue is not raising the volume via the rocker (buttons). The issue is a modded rom. The call volume is extremely low. Stock the volume is fine. I would like to manually go and change the settings in the text file. I believe the file is called "SOC" or something like that.

I will look at thgis program. Thanks.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Zeuszoos:
MC,

Okay. Not to be rude or anything; I know you're new to this, but you have to tell people that you're not running the Stock ROM. Also what version of the ROM and what Android version it's based on.

Other helpful info, would be if your device is Rooted (if you do happen to ever run a Stock ROM) and if you're running the Xposed Framework (if you don't know what that is, then you're not running it).

The reason all of this is important, is because it determines what answers people offer you. It makes a really big difference!

In fact, your question actually doesn't even belong here. You don't have a "Mega issue". You have a "Whatever the name of your Custom ROM is issue" and that's the thread that you should be in for that issue, because that issue does not exist outside of that ROM. When you put a Custom ROM on, you're possibly completely changing how the phone works, even down to where its files are placed for internal functions.

You may get lucky with my previous answer (and I hope you do), because you said that other things are loud, but that's what it will be. Just a lucky answer. :)

The concept here is, that the problem you're having, is probably a well known issue that has a quick and easy fix, or it has been reported and it's a known bug, or the developer just doesn't like you. <lol>

But my point is, that your answer will be *there*, in *that* thread, for *that* ROM, for *that* phone. You need to find that thread and bookmark it! :)

As for this thread, going by the title, it's for helping new users (who don't typically have the know-how to Root and install Custom ROMs), who have problems that are universal to all Megas, meaning those issues could crop up on any of their Megas, because they're all the same (except for installed apps).

Again, not trying to be rude. Just inform. :)

Hope this helped!
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Roger Carvalho:
Where is this German forum?:confused:

which please link here on xda only have rom for Galaxy Mega 5.8, clearly a disregard for Galaxy Mega 6.3:crying:
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] :
I have private messaged it to you.
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Zeuszoos:
I don't know about German forums, but there are 6.3" threads here in XDA. Heck, I started one myself with instructions for updating from JB to KitKat (stock, with file links) and I was participating in a couple of other MetroPCS Mega 6.3" XDA threads, so I know they exist here. :)

Plus, you could also try over at "Unleashed Prepaids" (it's not all prepaids, that's just how it started out). They have good threads and they're very friendly. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] MC FLMJ1G:
This is true. Ha-ha.

Just at a dead end. I may just bite the bullet and leave the rom stock and rooted.

I came here hoping i could get an answer on which setting to modify in the sound files.

Thanks anyway!

I am completley stumped. I am trying to help out a friend who messed up his phone trying to install a rom, and I just want to install CWM or TWRP via odin.

When i open any version of odin, and browse to the .tar.md5 files (i have gotten a couple different ones) odin doesnt see any of them. In the bottom right of the "open" window it says it is looking for .tar and .md5 files, but it just doesnt see them...

I feel like i am missing something simple. The phone boots into download mode, (odin mode) and odin recgonizes it, if i could just get a recovery onto it, i could flash a rom for him, but im stumped. Is there a way to flash a rom onto the phone without a custom recovery if it wont boot?

It recgonizes the cf-autoroot md5 file just fine - http://prntscr.com/7x7ity

But im not getting it to recgonize any of the recovery files - http://prntscr.com/7x7jsl

why is windows thinking it is an application, is it something with how i extracted it?

Edit - it is a samsung mega i9205, I have tried multiple versions of odin, 3.07 3.09 and one other one. I am trying to follow one of these threads

Thank you so much in advance.

[Samsung Galaxy Mega] Zeuszoos:
Hat,

You don't extract anything. If it started out as a Zip, it has to stay one and be installed from Recovery on the phone. Not your situation, but that's why the Zips exist.

If it started out as a tar, why would you extract that?

Anyway, in my experience, Odin won't see it, unless it's a .tar.md5 on the end.

What is the ORIGINAL FILE that you are downloading.

What is it, BEFORE you do ANYTHING to it?

Let's start from there. :)

Unable to enter dl mode or recovery after digitizer replacement

Hi, as the title already show I am unable to enter the download mode and recovery after I got my digitizer replaced on my GT-i9205.

I am able to enter dl mode but the screen itself does not display anything however odin recognizes it. It also does not display the GT-I9205 screen before the bootlogo anymore.

I would like to flash a custom rom via philz but as I am stuck on a unrooted stock rom (KT49H.I9205XXUDNK1) I am also not able to flash anything via mobile odin.

Is there any way to access dl mode and recovery properly or will I have to replace the digitizer with a new one from Samsung?

Thanks very much in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Mega] :
Bootloops are a known issue with 4.4 based ROMs and replacement (non OEM) screens. I haven't heard of it actually booting and not going to download, but I would assume it's the same problem...

Most people can't even boot as far as you. I guess you could try a USB jig, but it probably wouldn't make a difference. You may also try flashify, but idk if that would matter either, and after an upgrade you may get stuck in a bootloop.

Personally, I would just be happy to have nearly the newest firmware booting if I were you, because most people with the replacements are stuck on 4.2.2

Samsung mega i527 screen issues.

This takes a little explaining. My wife and I both have a mega i527 at&t branded phone. She had started having charging issues a few days ago and I could not figure out why. Well I broke my screen on my mega but had no issues with my phone or it charging. So I took her phone and her good screen and had it placed on mine so she could use it. Now my phone has charging issues and the one with the busted screen charges just fine. So my guess is the screen is the issue as the same problem has followed it to the new phone but I cannot figure out why. Anyone have any ideas? Also, I'm not sure if the screen is oem or not.

I have searched and unless I've missed something I haven't seen a problem quite like this one.
