Hey XDA, no time no speak,

After writing a story about it, I went and purchased the HiSense Sero 7 Pro (I recommend you go buy one), and I decided to do a source build of CM10.1 on it. There is a problem though, the manufacturer is not responding to my request of releasing the kernel source (even though I know that GPL requires it), so an issue there obviously.

Moving on though, I decided to go ahead and sync the repo. The only problem is, I am at the part where I need to make the local_manifest.xml (which I have), but because I don't have kernel source, my directories on github (located here) are empty.

I think it's worth noting that I am on an OS X system (only got 500GB, gave 75 of it to a windows partition and its already slow, couldn't imagine fighting with a Ubuntu partition), and I read the CM wiki top to bottom, spent hours upon hours googling, and no luck. Another issue I have is that when running this command:

$ ./build/tools/device/mkvendor.sh samsung i9300 ~/Desktop/i9300boot.img

I get errors with it questioning whether or not my environment is correctly set up. I also try saw that it said "Create extract-files.sh and setup-makefiles.sh scripts" but I cant run the scripts because they arent available for mac! Sooo im in a rock and a hard place man, any assistance??

Im very much welcome to giving any additional information that you may need :) Thanks in advance for help

Buenas,

Tengo un Samsung Galaxy SII de T-Mobile al cual intentaba liberar y termine poniendole varias radio que encontre y se ha pasado a ser de la banda 850 para el 4G, pero no me permite navegar en 4G en la banda 900 que es en la que originalmente viene.

Que puedo hacer para regresarlo????
[Networking] MrObvious:
It might help to use English here. The little Spanish I understand makes it sound like you want to use a T-Mobile SGS2 on AT&T? I think the SGS2 from T-Mobile has only 1700/2100 and no 1900 UTMS 3G band so it won't happen. If it has the 1900 then you should just need to get the SIM slot unlocked and be good to go.

I've got a Telus SGH-I747 with the newest Hellfire Rom. I've upgraded from Hellfire 2.1 and I haven't had any vibration at all from my phone since the first time I installed a non-factory rom. I've done a full wipe, facotry reset, wipe dalvik, and then installed the rom and gapps both times. I don't get any vibration on boot, shutdown, calls, messaging, or at all. Have I done something wrong?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] barring:
:( I have recently purchased XDA11s about two weeks ago. The touch screen function initially appeared unreliable, sometimes rectified by turning off and or a soft reboot. However over the last three days the problem has become more noticable. Yesterday the problem could not be rectified by either a soft or a hard reboot. The latter if anything has made matters worse because the device requires a functional touch screen following a hard reboot to enable the PC to be set up. I have contacted the vendor and O2 support. The latter have said that it is almost certainly a hardware issue and directed me to a UK number (not much use in Melbourne). The vendor has directed me to a third party ? supplier ? repairer: Phonenomena. Will let readers know the outcome of all this. I suspect there were other problems with the device but because of my inexperience with the device, I thought I needed to learn more about the XDA. I could not set up the Wi Fi at home despite having two laptops sharing internet access with a desktop via a wireless router.

Does anyone know who is responsible for replacement/ repair of this device in Australia? I am assuming the vendor however he is interstate (device bought on e-bay), and there might be a local distributor/repairer in Melbourne.

My stock android internet browser has crashed for unknown reasons, and took all my 16 tabs with it.

Is there a way to recover them somehow?

I was also wondering if its possible to view history thats more than a month old and if this is stored in the phone somewhere?

I would appreciate any help regarding these

I don't think so.

You may consider moving to FireFox or an alternate browser that has more options.

I get my wife a used S4 today that was previously on the Sprint network. We are on ATT and i planned on rooting the phone any ways. What all do i need to change to get rid of the sprint phone number that is on the phone, and what do i need to flash to make it work with the att network?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mrksbrd:
Don't believe it's possible. ..Sprint is CDMA and dont use SIM cards ATT uses GSM and SIM cards

---------- Post added at 09:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:55 PM ----------

Only other carrier that uses CDMA is VZW
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Twiztidunreal:
it has a sim card slot on the phone. They said it was unlocked and would work with all carriers. When i put the sim card in, it says Invalid SIM card
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] MattMJB0188:
Because its for international SIM cards. Your Sprint S4 WILL NOT WORK on any US carrier other than Sprint.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] abezapata:
I can confirm this. I work as a Sprint wireless consultant. A sim unlocked phone from Sprint is not compatible with any domestic carriers.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
Its true.. Sprint is the only greedy company that goes out of their way to block gsm domestically within the USA.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] AxAtAx:
worthless sprint is sprint and sprint only...sorry, no ATT for you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] onebenadams:
I'm sorry to have to disagree with this but I own a blackberry 9630 world phone from sprint and the sim slot works both with at&t as well as tmo. I understand ad long as contract is fulfilled and any etf's are paid Sprint will unlock sim slot and it will work with any carrier, gsm and CDMA alike. Check Sprint forums and speak with cs agents... :good:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Febby:
Try using an Att/T-Mobile sim on an s4. It will be blocked even if the phone has been unlocked. Previous phones from sprint did not block USA native gsm but as of lately they do.

My good ol htc touch pro was a lucky one to work on USA gsm as of course your old black Berry.

You get it now? Its an accepted fact sprint has been going out of their way to block USA native gsm access on their latest phones. Perhaps some new ones aren't but the s4 is unless a work around is done but it doesn't work for everyone.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CuhThooLoo:
HTC One

This isn't entirely true. I unlocked my Sprint HTC One to run on aio wireless which is on the ATT network. I haven't unlocked my Galaxy S4 but I intend on giving it a shot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] HORiZUN:
Call sprint and ask for a subsidy unlock code.

You'll need to provide the IMEI

*#06# on the keypad. After they give you the code, try a gsm sim. Hope this helps.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SelfElevated2:
Or buy an unlock code from Amazon or ebay if they wont give it to you ofcourse
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sleekgreek:
thinking of doing the same with my s4 on sprint and going to aio. Been with sprint over a decade and finally over it. In houston and lte sucks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Easton999GS:
wow that sucks, because even Verizon who is the greediest of them all will let you use their phone on both AT&T and T-Mobile. I have the AT&T Galaxy S4 and I can use my phone on T Mobile as well.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] CuhThooLoo:
I tried and tried to unlock my Sprint S4 for domestic SIM but I have failed time and time again. I got it unlocked for International but Sprint has somehow managed to block the S4 from working on a Domestic carrier. I'll let you know if I have any luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] sleekgreek:
I think I've read about people unlocking for use on metro pcs which is tmobile. Thanks for heads up though, probably gonna have to buy one when I switch.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] cyrusalmighty:
I unlocked a Sprint s4 and I am able to make calls with a AT&T micro sim in but cannot get data and texts working. I had to downgrade the baseband to get into hidden menu, but I stopped there. In the hidden menu you have to make some changes but I was scared that if I got it to work on at&t I wouldnt be able to get it back working on Sprint. Everyone does say that Sprint doesnt allow anyone to use other domestic carriers.

can you provide how you do it to unlock the s4 sprint use in att

thanks in advance

I did the UICC unlock in menu sprint pushed the update.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] eheilner:
That only means your phone is not unlocked. It does not matter what sim you put in you shouldn't get a invalid sim if the phone is really unlocked.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] SelfElevated2:
Sprint s4 says that I can confirm. My buddy had one and was asking if he could use it on T-Mobile. So I popped My T-Mobile sim out of my unlocked att s4 and it said invalid sim
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] eheilner:
any luck

Have you got it to work with domestic carriers yet? What steps are you trying to take? could you posted a link to who's thread you are trying to get your info from?

---------- Post added at 06:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:09 PM ----------

since you work for them are you obligated to say these lies???
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] abezapata:
They're not lies at all. I know for a fact the Sprint iPhone 5 and up will not work on any domestic carrier. I assumed the same for the Galaxy S4.

If that not the case then my comment is invalid in regards to the S4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] eheilner:
insight

I'm sure they didn't block anything. but I do know that when I non sprint sim is input it trys to search for other non domestic first but if there was a block on it then it wouldn't work at all. My sprint s4 is on att.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] eheilner:
I will try my how to on the IPhone 5s next. but the S4 will work with any sim

here is a screen shot on sprint lte then with att H+
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] abezapata:
That's awesome man. Honestly I know all phones can be unlocked but some require more trickery than others. With the iPhone a simple unlock code will not be enough. Android is open enough where anyone if they have the time can figure out how to unlock the device.

No need to include me in your responses. I do not own sprint devices.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OneChaos:
Check the lens for any dust particles or bit of trash. If nothing is visible on the lens, it may be a dust particle on the sensor itself. I see this from time to time on my DSLR.

IF it is on the sensor you should definitely return it for another phone, there's no way you could possibly clean it yourself.

I've noticed the past few days google services is taking a chunk out of the battery life. I have BetterbatteryStats and Wakelock Defender and i cant identify the specific app causing it. If i do a battery pull the usage goes down but it eventually comes back up even on a voice call the percentage drops but then raises again to a really high percentage im at a loss here need some guidance. I have taken some screen shots
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lordandroid:
I have found the solution to this issue:

1) System settings

2) More tab

3) Location Services

4) Uncheck Use wireless networks

This will eliminate the excessive use of Google Services battery life. And you will still have location based access app wise.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] skydirt:
Thank you for this. I am on Rogers and we just got the new update. Since then, google services is destroying my battery life. It's using about 90% and my battery is lasting half of its normal length.

This didn't work for me.

Today, I woke up, unplugged my phone and drove to work (50 min drive). I listen to internet radio in the car via TuneInRadio, and didn't touch the phone all day while at work. Drove home and again streamed internet radio.

Here are the results. As you can see, I still have an issue :crying:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lordandroid:
This screen shot incorporates the above method? If not what have you done?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] skydirt:
Yup. I did as you suggested.

I have looked more into this issues and Google services boards are flooded with users having this same issue in 4.2.2. It seems that it's actually the the new Google maps that came with it as indicated by a few users here. http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/mobile/U0MjxOQl3w0

Users have discovered that the v7 of Google maps is constantly trying to find location, even if a user has disabled it under the phones settings. It's not allowing the phone to go to sleep. As you can see is this screen capture, Google services ran 10hrs43mins out of the 14 hours my phone was off the charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] lordandroid:
Try this uninstall the newest version of Gmaps afterwards your left with the previous version of Gmaps then open the Google Play app and you'll see an update to Gmaps and install it then restart your S4. Monitor it from there for a day or two.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] skydirt:
Okay, so here it is. This is a confirmed bug with Google Play services v 4.1.6. Google has a new version, 4.1.10 that fixes the location issue and batter drain.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] speedlever:
I have Google Play services 4.1.6 and do not experience that issue.So it is not consistent. But there are so many individual tweaks we do that it may be difficult to track down.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] yogg:
Go to the google browser, then settings, find "location" and uncheck the locations settings there and see if this works. Or do a factory reset and then just uncheck every features that comes with the fresh reset on my GT-I9505. Then go to Google play app store and turn off "automatic updates".

My battery record is ~ 3 days and 1h watching Youtube, twitch surfing internet in 100% screen contrast an hour or so on, playing games but this includes the GPS, Wi-Fi and Mobile data, sync when not used. Not joking. I'll be uploading screenshot soon enough.

As stated above, I do not have this device. I am relying on you to tell me what works and what doesn't.

ANOTHER NOTE: These are the latest builds of CWM as of 7/16/13

It works but the menu items show up as very small on screen in comparison to 6.0.3.2.

Okay. Thanks for the feedback. Sadly, there is nothing I can currently do to fix this. Also, is that for the touch or classic version?
[HTC Droid DNA] CrimsonKnight13:
Touch version only.

Thanks. Updated OP.
[HTC Droid DNA] Flyhalf205:
I'll update my CWM thread with 6.0.3.3 also. It will have the normal font
[HTC Droid DNA] r3pwn:
Okay. Since you are doing that, would you like for me to delete this thread?
[HTC Droid DNA] Flyhalf205:
Keep if you want... One thing I know for sure about mine. Is fixed font and If you build new HTC recoveries you need to make sure you have the 4 require HTC sbin binaries and being activated in the init.rc or you'll get problems like booting into recovery when trying to charge when turned off.
[HTC Droid DNA] r3pwn:
As posted in the OP, I did not compile the myself, I just ran twrp through builder.clockworkmod.com and put it here. I believe that there should be no issues with Sabin binaries as long as they are in twrp for your device.
