[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helix031:
got the google edition in the mail today and set up the PTA apn to try to get LTE on it...

out of the box i got no data at all and the PTA apn doesnt work either.

im stuck usning the old cingular WAP for H+ on it ... called att AND google at the same time and ATT is sayng they cant guarantee i will get LTE since its not an ATT branded phone. Google is saying it should work and told ATT they are full of **** essentially..

any help?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tyie101:
Let's start with the stupid questions. After saving the pta apn did you click the green/blue bubble on the right of the apn
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bleez99:
LTE now working!

No. This should work out of the box. I was on the phone myself with AT&T and Google for two hours. It's a simple matter of AT&T changing the data plan to LTE, but they won't do it because they do not recognize the IMEI as an AT&T phone. No need to change APN settings. AT&T is basically screwing us. In the coming days I see a LOT of complaints coming. The customer service reps say there is nothing they can do, the network people say there's nothing they can do. Complete nonsense. Now, if you had an LTE data plan PRIOR to switching out phones you're probably going to be OK. It's those of us that were on 3G that will be screwed.

EDIT:

Well, after speaking with endless reps, I found one who was willing to actually do her job. She was sympathetic, did some research, and put in a phony IMEI number that allowed her to upgrade my plan from 3G to LTE. I guess the moral of the story is be persistent, hang up on the reps that say there's nothing they can do and keep trying till you find a rep willing to do their job properly.

By the way, I kept my unlimited status, no worries there.

FUNNY:

I had a call from a sales rep before the issue was fixed. Her solution was "why don't you return your phone, go to an AT&T store, and buy one of ours?"
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helix031:
which is what i was afraid of since i am on the grandfathered plan for 30 bucks unlimited ... no way in hell im going up to 40+ bucks for 2 GB of data.

and yes, i did choose the radio button for it. :p

they sent in some form to allow ATT to recognize my IMEI which might allow LTE to come in.. i asked about the plan and everything and no one said it wouldnt work... altho i had feared some people might have been told otherwise.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helix031:
doing research actually, i did find that i even posted that question a few months back somewhere here on XDA...

would you need an upgraded plan to get LTE on ATT even if you have the grandfathered plan ?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ack154:
You don't need the PTA APN anymore. Just one named phone.

Here's what I have that works perfectly on LTE:

Name: (whatever you want)

APN: phone

Proxy: not set

Port: not set

Username: not set

Password: not set

Server: not set

MMSC: http://mmsc.mobile.att.net

MMS proxy: proxy.mobile.att.net

MMS port: 80

MCC: 310

MNC: 410

Auth Type: not set

APN type: default,supl,mms,hipri

APN protocol: IPv4

APN roaming protocol: IPv4

Bearer: unspecified

MVNO type: none

This worked perfectly out of the box for me. I was reading somewhere that they don't really use the PTA APN anymore because that was when they were first turning on their LTE network and now this "phone" APN auto detects and works normally.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helix031:
right, the issue is i didnt have an LTE phone prior. I had a 3g GS2 so my plan isnt configured to work on the LTE network.

for the Iphone they were honoring the old unlimited data plans for 30 dollar a month just changing the name of the plan to the new one (same price, still unlimited, upto 5GB before throttle)

someone just did this on the phone for me and i did get data using the phone APN now (no more using the old 3g only APN)

hopefully when i get out of the building i work in i can get some LTE reception and see if it worked.
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ack154:
If you haven't had an LTE phone prior, you probably don't have LTE data enabled through AT&T yet. What data plan are you on specifically? Does it say 4G for Smartphones or LTE for Smartphones? I'm thinking you're going to have to talk to AT&T and get them to switch your plan...
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helix031:
thats what they just did. they had the LTE plan unlimited for 30 a month they grant to grandfathered data plans when the iphone 5 came out

i am getting data on the PHONE apn now but still no LTE speeds...

i will call back later on in the day if i dont see LTE speeds coming in (speed test now only gave me 4 down)

they also apparantly sent in a form to get the IMEI covered by ATT which would guarantee they can provide :LTE speeds
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] helix031:
went by att store and the guy there said it happens all the time with devices from south america (im in miami)

went to the back, grabbed an IMEI off a boxes device. applied that to my account... BAM ... LTE
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futurejohn:
I had the same problem with a rep telling me that the phone can't be found in their system. From the research I've done, it looks like you can give them any IMEI number off of a AT&T branded LTE phone and their system will switch your plan over.

Hi - the glass on my Note 2 shattered and I need to get it replaced.

looking at craigslist, people are charging $80 for glass replacement but like $40 for bonding. They say bonding the is the glue between the glass.

My question is, whether it is needed? What should I be looking for during the repair?

Thanks!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] twanskys204:
Yes,otherwise u will have gap between the digitizer and glass
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] joogle:
I've been getting such various answers, some store say they only do bonding if you do full front replacement including lcd.

they say for glass the price is varying from $80 to someone doing at home to like $130 at someone in store.

They buy the screen and digitizer together, so its already "bonded".

Alright, I feel insanely stupid asking this after all the custom roms I've ran on my epic.... but I need help with syncing photos from my wife's sprint evo 4g lte to her laptop. I can't find the photos anywhere when I mount the phone. actually that is a lie, I found around 20 in misc. folders but there should be tons more! the htc sync manager is garbage as far as im concerned, it is checked to sync photos but doesn't sync anything. the photos are on internal storage as there is no additional memory card.

Please help! I've spent close to an hour on this tonight and if I spend any more time on this trivial task i'm going to throw the computer through a window!

I only sync with drop box, but before drop box I just connect to laptop and go to sdcard or internal card and find the pics and just transfer.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Magnum_Enforcer:
Look under the DCIM folder of your internal storage. Should be some different folders within it where the photos are. Try mounting the phone as a disk drive and you should have no problem finding them.

Nice work dude,I'm actually a fan of Karl mark's ideas :)

whats about sdcard life,swap decrease the life of sd,s.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] slaid480:
That for sure,but Class 10 SDCard support swap with no problem.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] -CALIBAN666-:
realy?class 10 lives longer then as other cards with 2-4-6?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] slaid480:
Class 10 is faster so takes less time loading temporary files for swap.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] defiant07:
Yeah it will degrade the life of the sdcard, which is why I advise users to perform due diligence in the Disclaimer/Warning.

But from the research I did it seems that the degradation is negligible enough that something else in the device will break before the sdcard. Or even more likely the user will replace their device due to pace of technology before the degradation is really noticed.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] -CALIBAN666-:
you never stop learning,thanx
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] zeppelinrox:
Nice... just a couple of ideas.

You can check for support with awk '/swap/||/swp/&&/eature/' /proc/cpuinfo

ie.

if [ "`awk '/swap/||/swp/&&/eature/' /proc/cpuinfo`" ]; then echo " Swapping is Supported"
else echo " No Swap for You! :p"
fi

Check the sdcard path and use the found path.

From V6...

if [ "`ls $EXTERNAL_STORAGE`" ]; then storage=${EXTERNAL_STORAGE#*mnt}
elif [ "`ls $EXTERNAL_STORAGE2`" ]; then storage=${EXTERNAL_STORAGE2#*mnt}
elif [ "`ls $USBHOST_STORAGE`" ]; then storage=${USBHOST_STORAGE#*mnt}
elif [ "`ls $SECONDARY_STORAGE`" ]; then storage=${SECONDARY_STORAGE#*mnt}
elif [ "`ls $PHONE_STORAGE`" ]; then storage=${PHONE_STORAGE#*mnt}
else storage="/sdcard"
fi 2>/dev/null

I remove the /mnt tho just to make the output look cleaner and it doesn't cause any problems anyway.

So then I use the $storage variable everywhere instead of /sdcard

thats the soul of LINUX!!!!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] nitephlight:
nice work for sure, I'm a swapper myself, though i prefer swap partitioning due to old habits :P

my2cents: make sure your other vm settings do not conflict with the swappiness you intend to achieve (or perceive hehe). things like cache pressure and page cluster can affect the swapping, but modifying these settings in order to *achieve* swap performance is silly and risky. V6 as noted has a swappiness setting that needs override, and make sure to create a power shift profile for low minfrees - works well with zepp's multi tasking mod :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] defiant07:
Thanks those are great suggestions and I will implement them in the near future. I was also thinking of adding a check to make sure the user does not make the swap file larger than the space available and cleaning things up with nest files.

Thanks man...those are good tips and it wouldn't be worth having if it didn't work along side zep's mods :p.

I was reading an article about how swap works in Linux today and it said from some kernel in 2.0.x series onwards there is no performance difference between a swap partition and swap file. Thus, since android in based on 2.6.x, I am assuming, perhaps wrongly since there was divergent development, that this lack of performance difference holds true for all versions of android.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] defiant07:
Released version 3.

Major Update:

EDIT:

Should anyone want to add a precautionary check to ensure user does not input an invalid swappiness value, you can add the following code beginning on line 74:

if [ "100" -lt "$desiredswappiness" ]; then
echo Oops...that is not a valid value...try again...Bye :p
exit 69
fi

I will add this to the next update if I find other changes that warrant a new release.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eushaun99:
Hey [MENTION=5146220]defiant07[/MENTION], so I tried your script, and as you know I'm new to this swap file thing. My question is, what would be the recommended swappiness value? I dunno if a too high value may degrade SD card faster, or a too low value may be useless?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] defiant07:
It depends on your preferences, which is why I let the user set its value. Logically, yeah higher values would accelerate degradation.

Maybe some guidelines will help choose what's right for you...

100 will aggressively swap things

60 is most kernels default

20 is what supercharger sets it to

0 will swap only when oom (out of memory) takes effect (i.e. when your minfrees start kicking in)

so I guess a general rule of thumb would be...

use a value between 0-50 if you want maximize for performance (i.e. you will notice little or no lag when multitasking because less stuff will be being recalled from the swap area)

use a value between 51-100 if you want to maximize for hard gaming (you'll notice some lag when starting games due to things being more aggressively swapped, but it will clear and ultimately the game will run smoother)

use the rule of thumb and experiment...you can change your swappiness on the fly/without rebooting by using:

echo "XX" > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness

where XX is your desired swappiness (you can do it with or without the quotation marks). This way you don't have to rerun the swapit script and wait for the swapfile to be created.

I personally use 100 and notice very little performance difference between when swap is off and when I have it on at 100, but I have a low ram device. I think your device has a decent amount of ram (724 mb accessible ram from what I see on google) so the difference maybe more noticeable...if you do not do a lot of hard gaming or really crazy multitasking I suppose I'd say you should stick to the lower end of your preference spectrum (maybe 0-20 or 50-70).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eushaun99:
Thanks for yet another awesome explanation. :D

I've read your guideline a few times to understand fully, and I decided to try a swappiness value of 40, since I do play games quite often but not a hard gamer kinda type. In your script, there were some read only file system errors and the Z99SwapOn init.d script was empty. Here are the errors:

Please wait while I create the swap file and boot script...
according to your specifications. It could take 1-5 minutes.
The required files will be created in /storage/emulated/legacy.

mkdir failed for /sqlite_stmt_journals, Read-only file system
/system/xbin/swapit[141]: can't create temporary file /sqlite_stmt_journals/mksh.GGHkBF7419: No such file or directory

BTW, I think you should put the guideline and the explanation you gave me in the tab 10.1 forum in the second post of the OP so that newbies like me :p can understand better and input a more reasonable swappiness value instead of banging in numbers and then say that their SD card broke or the script did nothing.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] defiant07:
No problem man, I am glad to be of whatever assistance I can to you :).

Although I know you're smart enough to follow directions, just to double check you are running the script as root/superuser right?

Not totally sure why you are getting that invalid argument error for the swapon command. If you look in /system/bin and /system/xbin do you see a file named "swapon" in either location? If that is missing, you'll need to install a busybox that has it. I probably should add busybox to requirements and list the needed applets. But the mkdir and the temp file errors are related to /system not being remounted rw. Without that directory and temp file it cannot make the init.d script.

Does

mount -o rw,remount /system

mount /system as rw? Also please try

busybox mount -o rw,remount /system

an lmk if that remounts /system as rw.

And since it seems to have made the swapfile in /storage/emulated/legacy try turning swap on manually

swapon /storage/emulated/legacy/swapfile

does that return an invalid argument error?

BTW - I added it as FAQ and I plan to add my response to your previous inquiry as a FAQ as well...I will update the OP when I release v4 (it's a bit smarter and will calculate your recommended swapfile size)...need to test it first and wait for your reply as I may need to call busybox or use Zep's trick where he uses like ten different remount commands.

=====EDIT=====

nvm, just try v4...I got impatient and integrated Zep's solution. Although this will likely not solve that invalid argument error so lmk the answers to the swapon related questions.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] defiant07:
Released v4...minor update.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] eushaun99:
Yes, it ran as root. There is swapon, swapoff, swapit files in /system/xbin. If I'm not mistaken, the mount command should be this, right?

mount -o remount,rw /system

BTW, I set TE to run

su
mount -o remount,rw /system

automatically each time I open TE. So I actually dunno why I have those errors. I'm using busybox 1.21.1-jb bionic if it matters. Maybe I should try another busybox? Oh yeah, the swapon command did not return any invalid argument error. I'll try v4 but you'll have to wait a few hours because I'm going out soon.

Edit: I tried v4, no more read only file system errors, but there is still the invalid arguments error.

Please wait while I create the swap file and
boot script according to your specifications.
It could take 1-5 minutes.

swapoff: /storage/emulated/legacy/swapfile: Invalid argument
360+0 records in
360+0 records out

Does the invalid argument affect anything? Because overall I'm actually noticing a definite increase in performance.

I hacked your script to use /sd-ext as the external sd...so it put the swapfile onto the app space partition vs the real sd or /data. Seems to have worked fine.

The fact the low memorykiller is still killing apps tells me I need to use a less aggressive minfree.

You might be able to do something with /proc/meminfo.
