[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] dankify:
Im brand new to the android world. Finally left apple and switched to the better side. Been doing some research before rooting and installing a rom on my device. I just want to check and see if this is okay.

I see that if you have MF3 you cant do any of these.

I believe this does mean I have mf3 but i want to double check.

under about device it says my baseband version is I337....MF3

and my build number is ...........MF3.

So is there nothing I can do to my phone just yet?

welcome to android. glad to have you here but sorry on such poopy circumstances. to answer your question, at the moment there is little you can do. the MF3 build is in fact rootable, but i do not recommend it to anyone, especially a new user. if you were to root your device and have any problems at all with it, there is no way to unroot or even really get your problem straightened out. without going into all the details, it's just too risky at this point for me to recommend rooting your device on this build number simply to allow you to remove a few apps you dont want on the phone. you cannot even install a custom recovery or flash any ROMs. sorry your entry into android had to begin this way. i've seen several users that are still within their 14-day return window, take their devices to at&t to exchange for a different color S4. when doing that, they have the rep check 1 or more S4's and make sure they're getting a device with MDL (if the store even has any).

stay posted as there will be a fix for this at some point. cheers.

I'm having the same issue. The GPS keeps coming on, even with everything turned off in the general settings and within my apps. I did a factory reset and wiped all my data and the problem still persist. I also have taken out the battery, sim and sd card too and still no luck. So if anyone has any suggestions, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I have not had this problem, I'm on ATT as well. Although I do not have the value pack upgrade as it seems to cause degraded battery and gaming performance on my phone.

Same issue here its been doing for 3 days. Even when i keep my data off.

---------- Post added at 08:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:12 PM ----------

Does anybody knows is this issue is for at&t customer only or with the phone in other carriers?

I believe at&t recently change they're privacy policies.

---------- Post added at 08:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:13 PM ----------

I call at&t and they have no complaint reports for this issue. Or know anything about it. They guy from tech care recommend a master reset. Wich i say No. Cause i work for tmobile and thats what i do to clients lol! Karma is a bi#$%.

Anyways location access so far turn on while making a call, conecting to wifi or data. Or waking the phone from stand by.

I went to google settings and under location i turn off the location reporting & location history. So far so good. So i will keep testing this and let you guys now.
[LG Optimus G Pro] xartic12:
No this is becoming a widespread issue. I had this problem and literally would watch the switch go from off to on in a matter of seconds. Everytime I received a phone call it would turn the GPS on, each and every time. I had to disable the carrier iq and all the services associated with it, and surprisingly my battery life has significantly increased on standby.
[LG Optimus G Pro] InaruMejil:
How do you disable the carrier iq? What did you disable exactly?

---------- Post added at 10:59 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:24 AM ----------

Never mind i did already. I totally forgot about the carrier iq. My previous phone did not have as it was a international version. Finally gone the annoying gps turn it on.
[LG Optimus G Pro] playerjunglejosh:
I have noticed this issue as well. I am trying to pin down exactly what is causing it. I believe I am getting close, as I have noticed a specific Google location service being active each time I have had problems with the GPS. After stopping that location service the gps isn't turning on every 2-3 minutes.

[Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] broman.m:
I installed the CyanogenMod by Maclaw - " Jellybean 4.2.2 (CyanogenMod 10.1) 20130826 "

The audio has changed somewhat now for me. I've noticed that for some individuals the audio is so low it's hard to hear what they say if there is any ambient noise. However, this is only for some of them. For instance, when I talk to my brother in law I can hear without a problem.

Still, overall the audio has dropped, for some contacts quite significantly. And I do have maxed the audio, checked what settings I can think of too.

Is this fixable in some way? Can't find anyone with this problem that got it fixed :(

Sincerly,

Well, this just sucks. It didn't change anything at all. It turned out to be only in-calls that had low volume, and it still does.

Also, noticed today that when I make a call and the audio is good, and then turn on loudspeaker it goes really low. Quite annoying.. :(

After process is complete, restart your phone.

After installation is completed (and phone is restarted) "Root 360" providing own "SuperSU" app (but in Chinese), if you want you can install Chainfire SuperSU from the play store. (I did that to update binary. (binary update was completely success).

(If you installed Chainfire SuperSU app, you can delete from system/app Chinese version of supersu)

People reported that bravia engine working.

Thanks guys. Nice one.

It was so easy yet scary... ALL IN CHINESE, so choosing and clicking buttons to install was a blind hit and miss:p

Anyway, if you keep on failing after multiple attempts, not only should you check that the USB debugging mode in on, and also lock screen is disabled,

YOU SHOULD ALSO DISABLE McAFEE anti-virus app as well
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Blacklighter11:
I'm afraid of that hit and miss.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
I was thinking about this for a while and decided to put this idea out.

So the OTA zip in default is encrypted which I assume you can encrypt it with Condi's tool.

What if we decrypt it with desklunvr.exe, find SKUList in the META-INF folder within the zip, you can change the SKU values in that file to the matching ones you have on your device, this will not count up or anything so you will have to type in the SKUs in order which are all matched in the android versions which you can choose from, after that's done you can just decrypt it with Condi's tool but the problem is now that Sony uses a special signing tool with some type of signing type, I'm not sure if it is platform but you can try with ZipSigner.

What do you think about this idea?, post anything below that would be useful or something. ;)
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
I tried it with increasing the incremental value of zip, you can sign it with test keys but you can't encrypt it again with desklunvr. And recovery fails.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
I mean that you can encrypt it with Condi's tool and then sign it.

By increasing the SKU value do you mean putting it to the same matching one that the current rom has?
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
When I try the flashing zip recovery says cant desklunvr package. And what is sku value? Is that incremental value?
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Yes, it is pretty much that.

It is used in the OTA Updater and the Recovery if the OTA script specifies it.

The zip needs encrypting but the problem is that I found it is not on Condi's tool, we just need to be able to encrypt it again and then we are done.
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
We should do reverse engineering on desklunvr, shouldn't we?
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Yep, we need to see how it decrypts so we can do the opposite of what it does.
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
I was thinking it for a while but I don't have enough knowledge of asm and cpp.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Mmmmm..., maybe Condi or the other users of the community could help out.

[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Not really wanting to rain on your parade, but Condi and several others have "been there, done that". Without Sony's signature key, signing an encrypted file that their tablets will install through System Recovery is a no-go. Condi was successful with tricking the early versions of System Recovery into installing his "signed" files, but Sony changed/updated System Recovery and disabled adb shell during recovery, which put an end to being able to trick System Recovery into installing files not signed by Sony.
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
We can sign zips but we can't encrypt them. I think it is the problem. Or can we?
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Ok, let's see what he can do.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Are you saying you have Sony's signature key?
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
What about test keys? If I'm right condi was signing the files with them.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2086517
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
There must be a way to find and exploit that security hole in the recovery or/and bootloader.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Again, Condi was tricking the early versions of System Recovery, via adb shell during recovery mode, into installing his "signed" file. The current versions of System Recovery block adb shell during recovery mode and therefore can no longer be tricked into installing a file not signed with Sony's signature key.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Most likely not, would you be referring to the DSA?

There are many Sony's such has Sony Entertainment, Sony Mobile and Sony VAIO.

Sony VAIO is working too hard on preventing exploits and unlocking.

Even Customer Support even tries to hide it under the sheets after a few times trying to convince them.

I kept on going on higher levels of support but they say that it is simple, saying that everyone except me are not that advanced and not so keen about it.

Finally got the answer why but it was just the skin of the answer which was the fact that it is closed source.
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
What can I say, totally right.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Wait, because we have root what if we get the recovery from the decrypted version of the OTA zip and flash it with Flashify?

Flashify also backups the recovery so what if someone backups the recovery which works with ADB and then we restore that recovery?
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
S.onyTablet.S flasher dd the hidden image, right Cat?

I mean linux dd.

And andy, recovery is encrypted in an image file with kernel.
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
And I sincerely hope you find that security hole. All I am saying is that with the resources currently available, many have tried and failed. What is needed is either a copy of Sony's signature key (on which Robin worked hard to decipher) or Sony's method for unlocking the tablet's boot loader. If a friend of a friend of a friend that works at Sony VAIO would pass either to this forum, I promise I will not tattle. ;)
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
Also we should get the right information for decrypting kernel and recovery partition. Also I will not tattle. :D Maybe we should train or hire a spy team?
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Ok, thanks for the information.

I will investigate this.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
We can try the recovery backup and restore method with Flasher.
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
How are we gonna do a recovery backup?
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Has stated 4 times now you can use the app "Flasher" to backup and restore the recovery.
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
It isn't the condi's sts flasher right? I'm feeling silly. Can you give a link for explanation or download? Really don't know what are you talking about.:o
[Sony Tablet S] Cat McGowan:
Yes; read Condi's S.onyTablet.S [FLASHER].bat starting at line 347 in version 3.0. It is unfortunate that System Recovery (i.e., hidden.img) can be upgraded but not downgraded.

I have to get back to work, so I'll catch up with y'all later.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
This app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.flashify

I can't believe I called it flasher instead of "Flashify". :banghead:
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
Nope, it didn't work.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Well, that failed.

Out of curiosity, how did you manage to customise your status bar and soft key colours?, Softkeyz?
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
Yes, softkeyz. And one more thing, status bar is transparent.:D

So, what are we going to do?
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
It looks like we need proper signing tools for this.

Out of curiosity again, how did you make it transparent? :eek:
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
I pmed Hashcode (developer of safestrap also made kexec kernels for moto devices) to how to get our kernels (not the stock one - the kernels we will build) compatible with kexec.

Waiting for response. If we manage this, after port of safestrap we will be able to run custom roms with custom kernel.:D

Oh I forgot, I tweaked status bar with tweakbox, which is a xposed mod. I can post the apk, if you want.

[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:

[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
That is awesome news, what devices?
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
Sts, we already have working safestrap for xts and if we can port it to sts it will be easier for stp.
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
The problem so far is that if you attempt to use a feature in safestrap mode you will get soft bricked, it is more like nothing if you have the backdoor, all you have to do is flash the OS again twice into both system partitions.
[Sony Tablet S] smgdev:
Isn't safestrap from pajn working fine?
[Sony Tablet S] CoolApps:
Well yes and no.

You can access it but the problem is that if you use an option your device will soft brick since safestrap is in the system partition.

It is more like unsafestrap for now unfortunately until this issue gets a fix like not removing everything in the system partition like just simply either delete the correct files or replace, not deleting the safestrap directory.

The problem is that the safestrap is in parts to be able to be booted to so this is actually pretty complex to fix.
