I half wish I lived in an area with jumbled text. Just so I'd know for sure when I release an update. It has to do with something I'm overlooking. I'll find it eventually.

I don't think people realize just how many lines of text there are in a single jar or apk file

cannot dial certain numbers

Is anyone else having an issue where only some of their contacts are not able to be called? So far I have two numbers that will absolutely not dial out. It just sits with dead air. I can call the numbers from any other phone. I have also tried the eclipse version of this rom and it does the same.

IT NEVER dials out. Been like this for a week. And I have verified that no other non GE ROM does this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Hmm, check the syntax of the number. I know a long time ago on the optimus s there was a bug where if the number read +1-xxx-xxx-xxxx it would not send, but xxx-xxx-xxxx would go through. Perhaps it is similar.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] edif30:
I literally was just thinking about that... Was loading up my nandroid and going to check now! Will report back.

EDIT: Well that was it. Wow very odd. But awesome that it is now worked around. Good... I wasn't able to call my pizza joint LOL.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] y2jdmbfan:
Just some additional info on my experiences with Pure V3...I have been in Las Vegas since Thursday and as soon as I landed my jumbled carrier text i had in Chicago was gone and I now had the correct Verizon wireless banner. I also had some experiences where I could not connect to the web. I was showing connected to lte but couldn't get any data access. I had to reboot in some cases and other times I had to pull the battery.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Tortuga:
I remember there was a bug like that on the Incredible2. The major problem was that I couldn't dial ANY numbers via voice search (i.e. speaking "call Holiday Inn.) There's an app called "Prefixer" on the market that I had to use along with a script that removes the "+1" from numbers and allows them to be dialed. So far I haven't encountered that on the GS4, but I've only flashed 3 ROMs total, and haven't made it to GE yet.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] keith.mcintyre26:
Verizon has extended coverage agreements with pretty much every CDMA carrier (US Cellular, Sprint, MNVOs, etc.) so when you don't have favorable coverage, you'll hop on one of their towers. Verizon is explicitly listed in the eri.xml while others aren't. When you switch to one of the non Verizon towers the carrier name goofs.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] hlxanthus:
Well, that cannot explain the issue. That would mean the vast majority of Verizon towers that supply LTE in Indiana are not actually Verizon towers.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
I'll swap out the eri again on Monday or Tuesday but I doubt that'll do anything. Ill find it eventually... No worries

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
While I'm 98+% sure you're right, there's an easy way to test this. I use an app not even listed on the Play Store any more called Z Cell Tower Locator (probably many out there that do the same thing, but I like the simplicity and the Maps integration.) It tells you the location of the cell tower you're currently connected to and which carrier owns it.

As you can see in the screenies, the ROM is correctly identifying the tower as Verizon's.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] bd1212:
Cool app, any chance you could upload the .apk?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
Sure. Ya, the only way I find it now is under my Play Store\My apps\All. It hasn't been updated in years, but still works like a charm.

Verizon still supplies voice over 3g, that's probably the roaming tower
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kpa2727:
So here's my results after about 2 days. I don't get 4g at all but oddly enough I areas I used to get 1 bar of 3g I now get max bars. I don't think Wifi works properly. I can't seem to send photos over wifi smoothly for example on KIK messenger it acts like i'm on 3 g even though it says wifi is connected. sms hand off is horrible at times it fails 5 messages before it sends. I still don't have Verizon wireless on my lock screen and honestly haven't on any of the builds. just jumbleded text and symbols.I hope this helps.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Elvis_Marmaduke:
I recommend installing a ROM with data working perfectly, go into network and make sure it's set to the proper network, then flash back to this. That's pretty much what I had to do when nothing was fixing my data issues
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkbane:
This morning I wake up and go to use my phone but something is going wrong with my sim. There is no mobile data, it is turned on. I get a Sim Refreshing notification on the bottom of the screen.

I am running the 4.6.1 version

I tried a restore from backup
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
haven't seen that one yet. Not even when I legitimately killed my sim card. :laugh:

Did you try pulling your sim, rebooting, and then turning it back off and putting the sim back in. I haven't heard of Samsung having SIM issues(besides the occasional tanked card)

I know the HTC One_Turds(note: not the One, the OneS/X/X+/SV/V/Q/Turd that came before the One and sucked bad) all had sim connection issues that were only fixed by either airplane mode toggling/reboot/pulling sim.

Because I like making fun of HTC's failures, does anyone else find it laughable that their One came after their One_EveryLetterInTheAlphabet?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkbane:
I pulled the sim, but you have to pull the battery off to get to the sim. So I pulled the sim and rebooted without a sim, then pulled the battery back out and put the sim back in, rebooted.... still no joy.

I have not messed with any network or data settings whatsoever.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] loldi:
There's got to be something screwy going on with my phone because I can't reboot on any build of this ROM now. So strange. The phone just hangs on the SGS4 splash screen and the only way to get the phone to boot again is by formatting data. Going to ODIN back to stock later and re-do everything. Seemed to start happening once I flashed the 4.7 build with the bum kernel. Currently running 4.6.1.

edit: if this helps anyone narrow down what is happening to my phone, when I boot into recovery and try to fix permissions it fails and says "cannot fix permissions after a factory reset, boot phone first..etc". Restoring backups also fail.

edit2: it appears that my INTERNAL storage is unmounted after booting into recover. Internal Storage shows (0MB), external SD is fine though.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] wessiide:
Has anyone experienced a issue with the screen going dim and then coming back after a few min then back again etc etc. Not like the built in dimming settings, it's a fainter kind of dimming and happens while using the phone. Even if brightness is set to a specific level. Most noticeable on apps with white backgrounds. Tried messing with kt kernel trinity color profile but still occurs regardless of setting. I'm on the latest non pure version.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Yeah I realized the pita it is to screw with the sim. I killed my sim fully when I first started messing with 4.3 and the rils.

I'm not sure of a setting specific to the mounting, unmounting, or updating of the SIM itself. I've been through the hidden menu and settings thoroughly trying to prove I could fix data regardless of a sim error. I never saw a setting within the SIM specific menus that would cause that. Rebuilding the NV, backing up the NV, restoring the NV, and other specifics about the NV but never to update it.

Does your phone read the right phone number and imei?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
You cannot fix permissions afer a fresh install or fresh wipe. It needs to have been booted first.

Nothing in the ROM updater script messes with the data/media/0 link. You certainly shouldn't have to fully wipe anything to get it to boot. Have you tried rebooting on a stock rom? Is the error across all ROMs or just this one? Clearly you aren't dirty flashing or anything that would cause issues. Did you try other kernels? Faux or chronic or an older KT?

I've odin'd more times than I wish to comment on. But, I also tend to cause myself a lot of "unrepairable" errors trying to make working ROMs. I also lost countless pictures I took due to my own stupidity :( I no longer store anything I want to keep on my own internal storage. (note: I don't recommend everyone do this, but with what I do, it's necessary) I don't release or even post links to things I haven't personally installed on my own device unless I explicitly say so.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] joshw0000:
Here's something new for me. Wife had a question about our bill so I pulled up My Verizon. Verizon has no idea what kind of phone I'm using.

Now, I switch phones pretty often so it's possible I've confused the system. But it has always been able to tell what kind of phone I'm using, even if I use my sim in a 4G tablet, regardless of roms, etc. The only exception to that is when I used a Straight Talk i5 on my Verizon account (just to test if it'd work and resale it).

Anybody else seeing this in My Verizon? I can test some things on my end if this is an isolated issue. Maybe this can somehow point to a root casue of the status bar and signal issues.

I'm running the 4.6.1 build with the 6-23 ktoonez kernel. The phone won't reboot at any point. I just formatted data and booted the phone. Then tried rebooting and had same issue. I haven't tried on a stock ROM yet. Going to ODIN back to stock when I get home from work. In the meantime I'll try flashing a different kernel. I never had the issue until after flashing the newest build of this/nitros builds. Will report back after messing with kernels. The problem is I can't flash one and then reboot so I'll see what I come up with.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkbane:
Yepper, phone # and imei # matches.

I just ODINed back to stock and still no joy.

So is it possible to use an old SIM card?

I cant even make a phone call to call customer service...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nitroglycerine33:
When you are TW download lte on/off. Your sim is not set to the correct network. I have had this happen before while testing my GE build. The only way I got it back was to use that app on a TW build
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jkbane:
Since I went back to stock for troubleshooting purposes went off your idea about network settings.

Went to the network setting and I noticed that Network Mode had nothing turned on. Not Global, LTE/CDMA, GSM/UMTS.

So clicked Global and badabing badboom I got my data back.

Really weird how everything was working fine went I went to sleep, but when I woke up the phone's data was not working.

Im just glad its working now...

...now to ponder if I want to go through all the rooting trouble again...so time consuming...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
Wow that's strange. :eek:

I can't go without root. I take a lot that root offers for granted. Went camping without it being rooted and when I wanted to let my friend tether, no bueno. :laugh:
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drPheta:
The carrier issue isn't geographic. I was in Natick, MA with carrier garbage. Downtown Boston gave me carrier garbage. 3G, 4G, Boston, South Shore, Metro West, all of these places and connections gave me carrier garbage.

I'm gonna end up rooting just not today. So much to do so little time

---------- Post added at 11:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:24 AM ----------

Yeah cause I never touch any of the network or mobile settings.

What sucks is that I could have probably not have to unroot to fix the problem...

Flashed Chronic Kernel and still have the issue. Just going to ODIN back to stock after work and start from scratch. Is it possible some of the partitions got screwed up somewhere? Selecting 'hot reboot' from the menu works, just not a full reboot.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] drPheta:
This question has been asked and answered so many times in this thread. Also, searching this thread for "AOSP" would give you the answer. Holy cripes!

This ROM is based off TW, as that's how Samsung released the ROM on the actual GE GS4.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Dubbsy:
WE never had SIM issues. I tanked my sim card testing RIL changes for 4.3. Inadvertently screwed my card. None of my failed test builds ever make it any further than my SD card, and are deleted from the computer as soon as I verify failure.

Which is safer for everyone, but BluKuban would be a lot further along had I not been doing that though. I found that my Updater Binary was wrong for about 8 builds which was driving me nuts and made me start over from scratch at one point. But I didn't find the updater was wrong until after I deleted all the working folders for those builds :-X

Sleep of death. It refers to when the phone goes to sleep and won't wake up again and requires a hard reset. Usually related to the kernel.

A surprising 29 people downloaded the .apk. Are people seeing the app show them connected to a Verizon tower, but it comes out gibberish? Is it only gibberish when you're handed off to other carrier towers? Is it always gibberish? Maybe feedback would help narrow the problem.

Semii-fun tip with app: While you're a passenger in a vehicle, set the location refresh to 15 seconds and watch as you tower hop. ***Warning- this chews a lot of battery as GPS and Maps both update continuously.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xonone:
so i guess sprints build is really f**k up then since they had people complain when they roam the rom itself switches to gsm mode...

example for Morons: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=43784038&postcount=612 I know its sprints but still based off of dubbsys build.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
I don't know anything about the Sprint build or what build you're referring to actually. As this is the thread for the Verizon build, it has no bearing on the conversation.

EDIT: And now that you linked to the ROM, it has ABSOLUTELY nothing to do with this thread as that's not even Dubbsy's work.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xonone:
Its based off dubbsys first build thats been modded for sprints uses with d-dubs changes like lte bar fixes, build prop and sprint prl changes... so yes its based off of the verizon build. Ask dubbsy, he gave them a test build to play with. Plus i was asking if it had the same problems. Thats it. Nothing to get all pissed off over.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] docnok63:
First of all, I'm not upset at all except for the moron comment. That was uncalled for.

Second, this is still not the Sprint thread. Users here will not be able to help troubleshoot issues with that build as we don't have the device and don't know of any current issues.

Lastly, coming in here and somewhat expecting Dubbsy to try to troubleshoot/fix that build is like asking Steve Kondik (Cyanogen) to fix an issue with PapaSmurf's Pacman ROM.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] xonone:
First of all I was not asking for help. It was a question. ALL I asked was if roaming cause the phone settings to switch to gsm, similar problems on Sprints rom. I personally tried it and it seems when i roam, the phone settings does indeed switch to gsm settings like Sprints build. LTE on/off fixed it so yes, It does happen and it did happen.

Did not mean to act like a **** but im just saying... its odd but yes it did happen. Was seeing if it happened to anyone else.

Actually I don't think it's using my base. I think he did his own. I simply did a build because it seemed like no one was doing one for sprint. As soon as I made a sprint build he posted his beta build. So I dropped the sprint build support. (Glad someone else picked it up)

But ya glad i was able to see if that bug was on your build as well or not and it seem it is. Sorry to cause trouble on your thread brother. Had to get a message out :P Fix for it seems to be lte on/off back to cmda/lte and it should go back to normal cmda roaming mode.

I never had SOD issues on 4.6.1. It was only after I flashed the newest build of Nitro/Dubbsy's GE ROMs that I got it (before I saw the posts about the bad kernel). Switching kernels was irrelevant at that point because something got screwed up where my phone wouldn't reboot after the initial flash. When I would boot into recovery it would show my internal storage as being empty (0mb) and only by formatting data could I get the phone to boot again.

Phone seems to be okay now after ODIN back to stock/re-root/etc. Flashed the same build of 4.6.1 I downloaded earlier and after an initial hangup on a reboot and subsequent battery pull, the phone seems to be rebooting just fine.

Are people running 4.7/4.75 with alternate kernels okay?
