Flash the mk2 baseband first because you'll need that for 4.4 (post #2) and then I would just clean flash.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mralexander006:
First thing -- my condolences to MrV.

***

FYI, if I clean install VirginROM 3.1.1 and *do not* flash the "Remove Vol up/down sound" modification, my default volume rocker options includes silent > vibrate > sound.

Muting the sound in GravityBox then lets me keep the silent option to the volume rocker. The silent volume option disappears for me only when the mod is installed.

I have a T-Mobile variant S4 sim unlocked to use on AT&T's network and was wondering if it is possible to get the stock AT&T data icons using this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Works for me. I have the mod flashed. Or hold power and check the sound menu
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mralexander006:
Oh my comment was about someone earlier saying they didn't have a silent option on the volume rocker. I thought it disappears if the mod is flashed but I'm not positive.

I had the same thing...

I switched to Handcent and no problem at all.

It's a problem with KitKat and the apps need to be kit Kat updated

S-View Flip Cover

Hi guys. I recently restored my nandroid for this ROM and a weird glitch happened. I don't know if anyone else is using the S-View flip cover with this ROM. When I picked up my phone to move it, the S-View clock would display (screen would wake). This would happen repeatedly even though I did not open the flip cover. I thought at first that this was normal behavior since a few times I had received a notification, but this was happening even without receiving a notification. This never happened on a TouchWiz ROM. I restarted the phone a few hours ago and the glitch went away (screen now does not wake when the S-View flip cover is closed and I move or pickup the phone). I will continue testing tomorrow to see if it happens again, but what on earth is happening?

mhajii210
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
thank you all
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhajii210:
Flip cover

Hi guys. I discovered that with the S-View flip cover closed, if I put my phone next to my ear as if I'm on a call and then pull away, the screen wakes up. The clock will then be displayed. Seems like it is using the proximity sensor for some reason with the flip cover closed. I restarted the phone and same behavior. Is this by design? On a TouchWiz ROM this does not happen.

mhajii210
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
sounds like something is going on with s-view and GPE software in regards to your sensor. i don't have an s-view flip cover so my assistance with this will be limited

Is there any way to disable S-View in this ROM?

mhajii210
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i've been reading that Xposed or some of it's modules can cause this to happen. a different kernel can also cause issues. are you using Xposed or a different kernel that what comes with the ROM?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhajii210:
Stock

I did a clean install and I am using the stock kernel that comes with the ROM. I am not using Xposed. If I can simply disable S-View then that would be a good work around for me. Thank you for all the great work!

mhajii210
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
again, i don't have an S-View cover so i can't confirm if this is an isolated issue. there isn't a way to "disable" S-View that i'm aware of. maybe someone else here knows more about this.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fyaajster:
I have a S-View cover and running the same rom with different kernel and it did not happen to my phone.

I try exactly what you did and it does not wake up unless I flip the cover.

I even try to put the phone near my ear and nothing happen, might just be a bad flash or try a different kernel.

Hope this help.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
did you experience any problems with the stock kernel?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhajii210:
KT Kernel

I will try testing things out with KT Kernel. That should fix the problem. Thank you!

mhajii210
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fyaajster:
When I get home I'll put the stock kernel back on and will let you know.

I'm running the ktoonsez kernel on the OP.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhajii210:
Stock Kernel

One thing to point out... the S-View bug doesn't appear right away. It always happened the next day either after I would charge the phone or after I would receive a missed phone call or another notification. The first time after a clean install I did not notice any S-View issues. Something happens along the way to make the bug appear with the stock kernel.

mhajii210
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fyaajster:
Ok I try with stock kernel and nothing happen the phone did not wake up.

I shake, turn upside down swing left to right I try all kind of stuff and the phone sleep like a baby.

What kind of S-View cover do you have, is it from Samsung or other brand.

Ok I don't know if it will make a different but my S-View cover is from Samsung and it has a plastic view windows.

---------- Post added at 11:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:38 PM ----------

I will stick with the stock kernel to test it out for you in a couple days and report back.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mhajii210:
Samsung S-View

I have a Samsung S-View cover that I bought from a T-Mobile store. Sounds like it is the same as yours. Again, the issue never appeared on the first day after installing this ROM. For some reason it seems to appear on the 2nd day of testing. I had no issues with the S-View flip cover on a TouchWiz ROM. Thank you for testing it out!!

mhajii210
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fyaajster:
Going to charge my S4 tonight and use my kid phone to txt myself and report back to see if the phone awake while the cover is close.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] razor1:
Yep, having issues with not holding LTE , bounces between LTE and 3g. I have no HSDPA option on this rom , any help? I know theres a short cut *# code , but don't remember it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] fyaajster:
mrvirginia and mhajii210

Here is the final verdict on the S-View cover.

Yes the phone wakeup even the cover is close on the stock kernel here what I did, charge the phone pickup it up and there it is.

So there is definitely something is going on with the stock kernel I also notice that the stock kernel is really hot when charging.

Long story short I switch back to ktoonsez kernel and continue charging and apply the same tactic and the phone does not wakeup when the cover is close.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
thanks a lot for all of the testing. so, i'd recommend using the kernel built by ktoonsez that is in the OP. i prefer it over stock personally.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
the codes no longer work on KitKat. i'm going to safely assume you're not on an SGH-M919?

Just curious, when 4.4.2 touchwiz for T-mo S4 drops, will there be any updates to the GPE Roms to include some underlying component of it, or are they completely separate?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
underlying component such as?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mralexander006:
I understood that you make some modifications from the direct GPE ROMs to run on the SGH-M919 and wasn't sure if those modifications come from the original TW ROMs, but my bet is no, given the question?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
only in regards to the CSC stuff. i'll take a look at that when it releases and see if any more changes need to be made.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] anthonyp326:

Man, I've been running this or Dand's Rom for the past few months without an issue but all of a sudden in the past couple days phone calls go straight to voicemail and texts are either extremely delayed or only come in in bunches when I text out. I have called t-mobile and they had me reset the phone. I also flashed the modem again (was already on that hybrid but did it again just in case). Wiped and reflashed the rom as well. Can anyone think of anything else I can try?

Edit: seems to just be calls and texts. Data seems consistent.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Danvdh:
first thing I would do is flash full stock via odin and super wipe, follow these instructions

1) Backup everything important on your internal storage to your computer

2) Enter download mode and flash to stock 4.2 or 4.3 (depending on your knox status)

3) Enter stock recovery and wipe data and clear caches (This is the super wipe part )

4) boot up your fresh touchwiz system, root and install custom recovery and a 4.3 modem if you need one

5) Make a nandroid and try the ROM again and restore your important internal storage data from your computer

if this doesn't solve any strange issues, you might need to replace your SIM card as that can also be the problem
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
I HAVE the same problem!!!! I reverted to MDL modem and it happens less often but still has happened once.

I can confirm that this has something to do with the MK2 modem. I don't think its a ROM issue. That's why I am forced to stay on JellyBean instead of KitKat right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jacob66:
Hey, guys, I was wondering if I could flash the GPE CSC on a locked tmo s4 to use another sim card in it? Because I've already flashed this ROM, i don't want to go back to stock to unlock the phone, then have to switch back again.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] polo79:
Yeah man, I flashed back to touchwiz wicked v10 and flashed the mkl modem and all is working again. It has to be something with that hybrid combo. Though I've been running it for MONTHS and all has been good the whole time.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:

Touchwiz is not without it's advantages. I'm looking forward to the 4.4.2. firmware by Samsung. If it's less bloated and faster than previous versions, I may just keep it for the Wi-Fi calling and unbeatable Camera app.

I can't seem to send or receive MMS. SMS works. I tried with the stock Messaging app and with the v4.0 APK attached to the OP. APN appears to be set up correctly. Tried clearing cache and data. Anyone have any other ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
did you try this after flashing just this ROM?

maybe try rebooting to recovery and wiping all cache and dalvik.

i'm considering removing that messaging app under add-ons. because i don't support/run it, i can't offer much help there.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] zaventh:
I've been running "stock" VirginROM v1.3 for several days now. The only other thing I flashed before I noticed MMS wasn't working was the Google Wallet hack. But yeah, I've wiped cache/dalvik naturally as well as the Messaging app data itself. I only flashed the v4 Messaging app in an effort to get MMS working as it wasn't working with the stock version either. I'm beginning to think my provisioning profile with TMO is screwed up.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
this is likely the case :good: didn't think of that.

I've had same problems, mainly with the hybrid modem. Once I reverted back to MDL modem I have had it happen only once.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Are you using MDL on 4.4?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
No, if I use MDL on 4.4 I get signal drops when using speakerphone.

I'm on VirginROM 2.4.2 JellyBean with no issues in the past month.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] nivekx9:
Ah, I was saying I was on MK2 with some problems. But thanks for the info. Hope a new official modem will release.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] polo79:
So I never got an answer on this: can I rub the regular mk2 modem on 4.4.2? And if so, why did we use the hybrid modem in the first place?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
using just MDL caused data drops. using just MK2 caused there to be no audio via speakerphone.

using both together fixed both of these problems.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] polo79:
Ok that's what I thought was the case but some people were saying they were running the regular mk2 and all was fine. Maybe they were mistaken and it was the hybrid. Thanks though.

For me recently, after months of perfectly working KitKat I have delayed texts and calls straight to voicemail. Flashing mk2 and running jelly bean is working but I'd rather have KitKat :(
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
those stating they are running just MK2 are likely mistaken and just going off of what they see in their "About Phone" section. mine says MK2 but i am in fact running both MDL and MK2.

i recommend Odin to UVUAMDL and starting fresh. i've been running ART since the last build and have had no issues at all other than the occasional 3rd party app force close. it's very likely that something you've installed is causing you problems. users contact me via PM all the time and finally realize it was something they did on their end that started causing them problems. example, one user was using Xposed/GravityBox and one of the modules in there caused them to have issues with the Alarm popping up. stuff like that. if you run this ROM at boot without installing anything, you'll have no problems. as you start to add things, you may experience an issue or two.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] polo79:
So you recommend to Odin to the mdl and flashing KitKat?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
i'd honestly try a fresh flash of the ROM first and don't restore app data or anything. just flash and load it up without even your google account. then have a friend or something call/text you. i bet you won't have any problems. just be sure you do indeed have the baseband installed correctly. MDL has to stick, but it will still display as MK2

edit: you'll know if only MK2 is installed if you have no audio via speakerphone. you'll know if only MDL is installed if it is what is displaying in your "About Phone" section
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mralexander006:
Huh... this is very confusing to me. I ODINed the full TW version of 4.3 and so definitely have the complete MK2 modem. I even get a funky bootloader message every time I turn on the phone. I didn't care about losing warranty because I bought the handset used anyway. I just tested the speakerphone and the sound definitely worked on your latest ROM.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrvirginia:
the issue could be deeper than just flashing the MK2 baseband. what i mean is, i haven't touched the Official 4.3 TW update.

edit: i am also not encouraging users to update to 4.3 Official due to it possibly breaking warranty if you install this ROM or anything from this thread. it is the end user's choice to do so.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] The Apostle:
I think the reason for some of the confusion is people not completely understanding when we say "Odin MK2"... I'd say about 15 pages back there were detailed instructions on how to do this. To install MK2 you just need to extract modem.bin from the zip. Then flash via Odin.

I'll see if I can find the old instructions from a while back and post up.
