Video Recording Keeps Failing

Hello everyone,

I've been really enjoying the ROM, however I'm having a couple of issues with it.

First, using the BioShock kernel, I am unable to record video reliably. It only works maybe 50% of the time. It will record for several seconds and then suddenly it says recording failed or something like that. Unfortunately, I have 2 young kids and having a reliable video camera on my phone is a must. Other kernels seem to have fixed the problem.

However, even though this is not essential, I can't seem to get the dual camera feature to work with ANY kernel. Previously, I had been successful using Faux123's kernel for dual camera. But now, none of the kernels seem to work. I've tried BioShock, Infamous V2.0 and Faux123's. All of them give me the same problem.

I did a full wipe coming to V4.0 and then installed both incremental updates. Perhaps the incremental updates are the problem (I hadn't had a chance to test using V4.0), but truthfully I am just spending too much time installing ROMs. I just need a fully functional camera. Maybe I just had a bad install, but I'm curious if others are having the same issues.

Thanks for all your hard work Jamison!

Just tested dual can and it is working for me....shot a video with dual camera for a minute (won't do that again after just waking up) and didn't get the recording failed....

when you installed the patch did u flash 4.1 then reboot and t let the phone have a beer....then flashed 4.2 ? I had a bad DL for 4.2 patch and had to retry ...patched with no problems...I can only think trying to DL the full 4.2 may help.

My sons tenth birthday is sat so I'll keep playing with the video to see if I can recreate the stoppage. :thumbup:
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jdom58:
Hey glad to hear that you finally got it resolved!! now enjoy this awesome rom :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mebborne:
Thanks for the reply Ntranced78. Interesting... maybe I just got a bad install. I didn't flash the incrementals back to back, so I doubt that's the issue. I didn't even try recording video using the dual camera, it won't even allow me to try. It just freezes up and the thumbnail picture changes every few seconds. The video failing is happening without using the dual camera feature and it happens probably 50% of the time. It just seems to be moody. Perhaps I'll try dirty flashing the entire 4.2 ROM and see what happens. If that doesn't work, I'll try a full wipe again. I've just spent too much time doing that recently. Thanks again for your help! Mebborne
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Ntranced78:
Yeah man no problem....there were issues previously on bio with dual cam but least for my phone 4.2 fixed it... I know fauxs 007 kernel fixed the dual cam thing ( still on my external) could try that if all else fails. Yeah my cam was doing the same stutter with dual...hope it works itself out...this ROM is too good not to have it running for ya.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Mebborne:
That's the thing... previously, installing faux's 007 also fixed the dual cam for me as well. And I expected it to this time, but no dice. Weird. Anyway, I'm downloading the full 4.2 ROM now and we'll see what happens. Thanks again!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jamison904:
You will need to flash a 4.2.2 ROM and use mobile Odin. You will keep root this way. Then you can use ROM Manager or ROM Tool Box to flash a recovery image. Then reboot recovery and wipe then flash Alpha. Done :D:cool:

That's exactly how I got the MK2 modem loaded after I put a 4.3 ROM. So now I'm 4.3 with MK2 but the 4.2.2 boot loader. Just need to download the official 4.3 boot loader and do what you said, and I should be good to go. Looks like a Sunday, Football watching project. Thanks. ??
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] BEWBTUBE:
I just installed this ROM, I'm running into an issue where I lose mobile network service whenever I lock the screen and it takes a few minutes to find it again once I open the phone back up. Any ideas what might be causing this?

Thank you very much.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SinCityAtNight:
If you go to System Settings, More, About Device and your base band ends in MDL, you will need to update to modem to the 4.3 modem and it will the show MK2 instead. You won't be updating the LTE modem as that will trip your Knox, etc....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigtom624:
I flashed tar that Jovy posted in his MK2 thread and it tripped my Knox counter. After I flashed it I lost sound also. After this happened I flashed the full MK2 tar that is on Jamison's AFH page. Ever since I flashed it in Odin I have not had any problems at all with any of the 4.3 Roms. I was having the same problems others were having such as random reboots and data signal drops until I flashed the MK2 tar.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SinCityAtNight:
Awesome. That's what I figured was going on. Did you lose root when you flashed it?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigtom624:
Yeah I lost root. After I flashed the MK2 tar I flashed CF Autoroot then I flashed Philz Recovery tar. After I did all of this I was rooted again and was able to flash any 4.3 Rom without any problems. You will have use Odin to flash all of these things. I prefer Philz recovery, but you can flash TWRP or CWM if you prefer those instead. Good luck.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SinCityAtNight:
Thanks. Just tried to download the M919MK2 zip but link might be broken. All mirrors cancelled immediately. I'll try again later.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SinCityAtNight:
With the mix of modems, I'm getting random, very random reboots. I'm not getting bad data drops, but every time I take a call my 4gLTE drops to 4g and won't bounce back to LTE for a while

---------- Post added at 07:49 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:48 AM ----------

Jamison, Im having trouble downloading the M919MK2.zip. cancels as soon as it starts downloading
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] jakill:
OK I Had that problem as well what helped was flashing back wiping everything and very important flashing the mdl and mk2 modem after that so u still get lte and stuff. Unless u want to do what Jameson recommended and put the new bootloader but I used modem.bin and all is well for me. My biggest problem is the kernel but I just wait till bioshock 4.0.:D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SinCityAtNight:
I did the modem.bin as well. Just think if the boot loader is updated to 4.3, things will be even smoother. I don't care about Knox and warranty. This ROM on the Bioshock upgrade is gonna be sick. Loved Bioshock on the pre 4.3 versions
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigtom624:
My data still drops from LTE to 4G on calls even on the MK2 bootloader/modem. I think it is a problem with that modem no matter if you are on 4.2.2 or 4.3. I have not had any random reboots or dropped calls since I upgraded to 4.3 bootloader though.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] stangs6969:
i have the ATT version of S4... i have downloaded the MK2 modem(from the ATT board) and was wondering if i flash that with your new 4.3 ROM, should that help with the random reboots and have better signal and LTE signal and not drop? I am trying to figure this out since I have a locked bootloader and don't want to even try to flash the new bootloader. i want to keep up to date with your ROMS because they are the best but i don't want to f-up my phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SinCityAtNight:
Do you have a link so that I can Mobile Odin the full 4.3 firmware?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dallas.maverick:
Just for everyone's information, your data connection will automatically fall back from LTE to 4G/HSPA+ during calls. That's because voice calls within LTE network right now use the old network (AT&T or TMO etc....). This procedure is called CS Fallback. As part of this, the device temporarily moves back from LTE even for data till you disconnect and get back on LTE. The only time you will have LTE throughout a call is when carriers start rolling out VoLTE. Then the calls are entirely handled in LTE domain and there is no fallback needed.

ATT vs T-Mobile

:good: I have the ATT S4 running Infamous S4 and was ready to install Alpha v9 a few months ago but v9 was getting updated literally every other day so I decided to wait :rolleyes: for it to stabilize a bit before making the jump. I left town :cowboy: for a few months and I'm back :cool: to make my upgrade (Apps to SD is required!:D!). I notice now the Alpha v10 is the highest update in ATT S4 thread but is closed :crying: and the links to download include v11 and v12 so I am left to deduce :silly: that this ROM (

Now only available in the in the T-Mobile Forum

) is still good for my ATT (SGH-I337)?

Is this correct? :D

alpha 12.04

So 12.04 is awesome but I'm having a few issues.

BioShock 3.0 OC doesn't work with 12.04

I have reception/signal problems where in 11 r2 I got signal just about everywhere, now in places where I should be getting signal I get no service or very dodgy, did a different radio/modem come with 12? Or is it a kernel thing?

Otherwise I'm really impressed with the speed of 12.04

Choose the MK9 zip. I've been using it since Alpha 12.4 came out. It works fine. Always make a backup just in case.

Gravity box has CRT animation option built in to it
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SinCityAtNight:
Quick question. In the M919MK2.zip has the boot loader zip and Odin zip. Do I flash the boot loader zip or do I have to extract that and flash the tar.Md5 file and if so, what about the dll in the zip?

Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Jamison904:
You will need to extract it once or twice. Once you are at the dll you are good to go and don't need to extract further. I added Odin for those who don't have it. 3.07 is the best

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigtom624:
True, but some people including myself use Wanam Exposed. That does not have CRT OFF included.

[MENTION=1513601]Bigtom[/MENTION]

Sorry bout that, its just that 12.04 came with gravitybox

[MENTION=261854]alpha[/MENTION] forum

Any chance of explanation of the difference between 11r2 and 12.04 that causes signal loss in the areas I normally got it?

If I flash the mk2 firmware should my signal reception get better?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] SinCityAtNight:
v11r2 is based on Android 4.2.2 and v12+ is based on Android 4.3. Flashing the MK2 mobile.bin will update the GSM modem to 4.3 baseband, however it leaves the LTE modem at 4.2.2 thus not loading the new Knox boot loader. Without installing the MK2 modem you will experience data drops.

There are instructions a few pages back on how to Odin the MK2 modem.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] bigtom624:
No problem. I started using Wanam with Infamous 9.0 and I like it because you can back up your settings.

-- After some reading and searching I've found out that anything past 4.2 is just all bad. You'll either lose sound for flashing the LTE MK2 modem, or you keep MDL LTE modem and it'll cut out sometimes during phone calls, deep sleep, and other times.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] POQbum:
Apparently there are 2 MK2 modems. 1 is for LTE, while the other is for all other cell services. You may not have updated both of them.

I'm still on MDL and just used the latest version of this MDL ROM and it is super fast and the battery life (so far) seems very solid. The problem with the data shutting off on screen off is entirely solved.

For me, it's the perfect setup and I will continue running it probably until either

(1) Samsung comes out with another official update and it isn't super screwy

or

(2) this phone dies

4.2.2 doesn't have that many setbacks from 4.3, and both run better battery and are faster than 4.4 so that is where I'm staying. I like having working service and a fast device, having the latest and greatest doesn't mean much if it isn't the greatest
