Drop Calls Duos S4 Mini

I have purchased the Samsung GT-I9192 S4 Mini Duos and I am so frustrated with this phone. I am a business owner and during conversations the calls just drop off and I must restart the phone in order to have the network up and running again on the phone. Sometimes I have to restart as much as 5 times a day. There have been occasions that I have dropped the network and I didn't even know until I try making a call myself. Sim 2 seem to be ok though. I so regret from moving from my Blackberry. Never had a problem there
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] livetech2:
Hi All I want to but S4 Mini Duos I have few questions. People who have bought this phone india please help:

- Is the network fixed with i9192DDUAMJ2 firmware update? (If network goes off need to restart issue)

- If we are talking in one sim. Will we get notification if we get calls in another SIM?

- How is the battery life of this phoe wit 2 SIM, 3g on whole day?

- Should i go for the Galaxy Grand or Quattro or S4 Mini? want dual sim phone. Budget 22k

- Any other issues with the S4 mini like slow 3g speed?

- Will it get Android 4.4?

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwerty1q:
Well......

- I have no network issue although the signal is much weaker compared to my Note 2

- 3G - slower than Note 2 and also I can't get HSPA+ with 3UK (Note 2 working great though)

- battery - I had to remove my sd card to have a descent battery life.....tried 3 sd cards, always a problem with battery drain (although sometimes after 4-5 days)

- the screen is too small for me.....I think 5 inch is a minimum for me.....tried to convinced myself for last 3 months that 4.3' is enough but it is not.

- I payed £285 not bad but you can get some descent chinese phones for less

Would I buy it now again - NO, probably Mega 5.7 would be better for me but the best one S4 duo or Note 2 duo

Hi All need help:

I have bought S4 mini Duos in India. I have put 2 SIM SIM 1 Vodaphone and SIM 2 Airtel.

I have problem with Vodaphone SIM. Even though the Vodaphone SIM have full network in my phone Callers can not connect to the Vodaphone SIM. Number unavailable for callers. This issue occurs 6 out of 10 times.

- Any one else have this issue with Vodaphone SIM?

- How to resolve this? Issue is with Vodaphone SIM only Airtel is fine.

- 3g is avtive in Airtel SIM.

- I have changed the Vodaphone SIM to SIM 2 but the same issue is there.

- Nwtwork drops it will reconnect automatically no issue in that.

- Only call can not connect to Vodaphone SIM.

Any solutions? Should i return the mobile?

Suggest you read the posts earlier in this thread and check whether your firmware needs updating.

---------- Post added at 09:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:33 PM ----------

On a related topic though...

Has anyone found that using an exchange email account that requires admin rights to your device causes issues with the dual sim and is this a theoretically a possibility?

S4 mini duos

Hi guys

Am planning to buy s4 mini duos. Please someone tell the n/w problem is solved.

If i buy new phone the firm-update is automatically come's with pack or i have to install the update after i get the phone. Please tell me

because am having GALAXY CORE in my mind also. Which one is best CORE or S4 mini duos. :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwyxda:
Lot's of issue, first the software handeling the switch between the 2 sim card for 3G does not work correctly and you need to go in two different menu to make it work.

The second sim slot is not working in HSDPA but in GPRS (which is to me a bug but it seems to be a feature)

I can't share my connection on the second sim using either bluetooth wifi or usb tethering.

Finally well second sim does not have a very good signal strengh but most of the time is very OK.

There is also a very important random battery drain that come up sometine (my phone do not last the night with 28% battery and it was a 8h night only).

Well great phone if you do not considere using two sim

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

In the Two sims configuration menu there's a option to maintains the connection when 3G is in use on one sim card. I experienced the same issue until I tick that option.

---------- Post added at 12:47 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 PM ----------

For those three question :

Battery life seems to be a random topic some have issue other not... it's really strange read my personnal experience above.

3G is OK ibut most people says they can't reach more than 18Mb/s on first sim slot but but on the second sim you will never go over 1,4 Mb/s

You can indeed use a sneeky call forward, so instead of being real active sim during call your unused sim will forward the call to your active sim (which can cost a lot depending of your provider) in my case I have 2 sims from different country and using that will make my invoice explode

Problem in incoming calls

Hi,

I got his phone for my wife. I am using Airtel Sim in Pune. I find that if the phone is unused for more than an hour, anyone calling it has to face a silence of around 20-30 seconds before it starts ringing. Calls connect immediately if there has been any activity on the phone for the past 15-30 mins apprx. I have the latest firmware on it in-box. Using only single sim without 3G/2G. Wifi is on most of the time. Other than this problem of having to wait for the call to connect, i have no other issues. Features are Ok and the battery life is excellent. More than 4 days on minimal use and 2 days of moderate use (Wifi on, browsing and apprx 1 hr of Skype).

If someone has a solution for this problem do let me and others who might be facing the same issue know. I tired running Tasker to do a repetitive task like toggling Wifi after every 15 mins to wake up the Phone but it did not solve the problem. Seems that the Gsm side of the h/w goes to sleep when unused.

If anyone has solved this do let me know.

OMG are you joking ?

I loose 25 % of battery in 7h without using my phone and without any sync activate other than cardav and caldav that sync only once a day.

And with a normal usage some tSMS and whats app message and 1 or 2 hour of music a day I certainly don't go further than 18h00 battery.

What are you doing ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farhanbh:
Battery life

No jokes there...

After the latest update for I9192 (build JDQ39.I9192DDU1BML1) and some increased usage of the phone my usage is down to a little over 2 days.

Usage

Wifi on continuously( Have a strong signal throughout the house).

Sync to only 1 Gmail account.

Browser usage of apprx 1-2 hrs every day.

Calling apprx 30-40 mins every day.

Skype 10-15 mins daily.

Single sim usage. No 3G

No gaming. Just a small app which acts kind of an alarm with some personal notifications every few hours.

Using Battery Doctor to close unnecessary apps.

Also note that its the latest stock Rom in India.

Note that the increased usage is to get it out of 'deep sleep'.

We have observed that if we call or just switch on the display of the phone every hour or so we do not face the issue of the phone being out of reach for callers.

I also use a Samsung Galaxy S2 (Rooted) phone where i am just about able to get a 24 hr life on a single charge. Hence i find that the battery performance of this phone to be a comparatively huge plus. On the S2 i have 3G+Wifi on for apprx 80% of the time and with 2 sync accounts and some average internet use of 1-2 hrs the battery does not last the day.

I'm on the verge of buying this phone (GT-i9192) in Europe and wanted to know if these network issues still persist or whether subsequent firmware updates have solved it.

Many thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gladson1976:
I've been using the 9192 for quite some time now and I was also facing the network issues initially. Turned out the culprit was my sim card which was quite old and cut from a normal sim. The network issues went away once I replaced the sim card and I haven't faced the issues for more than 2 months now.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tammovh:
Thankyou.Very interesting. Both my sims are factory micro-sims and fairly new so hopefully I won't run into these problems. Fingers crossed.

Just quickly, without going too much off topic, what root method did you use?

I have sorted out the problem of network issues for my I9192 by

1. First I rooted the phone and installed Clockword Recovery ...

2. Then I installed Kernel "F4Ktion".

3. Then I installed CarbonRom 4.4.4

First I tested SIM1 for 2G / 3G and SIM2 for 2G with Battery Saver Mode.. the battery goes down completely at around 26 hours of avg. usage ... Later i kept both sims as 2G with battery mode off, which made the battery life much better to around 36 to 40 hours ...

4. For beautification, I Installed theme LG and later used Nova Launcher as well ..

The correct order of ur install should be 1324, or the carbon's kernel overwrite F4ktion.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:
Hello,

I actually have successfully build some kernels. Mainly, this is the linux way:

- get kernel sources

- get hardware specific changes

- get the toolchain -> i'm using google prebuilt tree, with ARM tool chain 4.4.3 already compiled

- build with usual steps: def_config, configure, kernel, modules

All is ok.

Now, i found Android.mk files. Precisely, a previous kernel, with sensors related to my device, that i would like to port.

But here comes the trouble. I have hard time to do the link between Linux kernel for ARM and Android makefile. I don't see how it goes with my kernel, how i could compile this using the prebuilt tools i could grab from Google.

In short, how to include .mk files into a classic kernel ? What should i get in the end ? A module ? A replacement binary ? More precisely, what is exactly NDK and where it stands in the above layers ?

ARM Linux Kernel <--> Dalvik JVM <--> APK

Last, is it possible with Google prebuilt to compile the .mk without referencing your kernel ?

Thank you !

Thank you for your help
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:
Damn ! Either the questions is too obvious, either it is too complex. Any help ?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Graveen:
Self reply: downloading the NDK is mandatory

- you can use your favorite toolchain, provided with the NDK

- you can embed the .mk into your application, for Eclipse / Android studio, it will use the NDK to compile

A problem that was, thankfully solved within the last few days, is that of creating a Recovery for the Galaxy Mega 5.8. I am not a developer, but I read that the issue is related to the graphics resolution and its incompatibility with existing code for CWM Recovery.

Now it seems there are also some applications that may not work with the Mega 5.8. I would like people to try the screen capture application called "Screenshot" by KastorSoft, available in the Play Store. This application, on the I9152, always produces just a black screen with no visible content. I use the same application on my N7000 and N5100 without any problem.

[HTC Desire S] AliRehman568:
Its all in chronological order. As the title says my phone wont charge. USB CABLE from PC or wall charger it just wont charge. Following some threads i also removed the battery and connected it to main but no led would show up. Right now i've removed the battery and charging on universal charger fine,

So here is the history. I dont know what can cause it not to charge. While i was at university my phone fell on the ground. It was not from height as i was just sitting on the sidewalk and it fe ll down. Then I came back home. I have ICS Ruu Saga on it which i'm not happy about and wanted to go back to GB ever since i realized that my camera quality is worse than before and my Subway Surfer game is not smoother any more,

Seeing some threads I selected the recovery option in bootmode (vol down+power). After few second a red triangle came showing ! sign. I removed the battery and re-inserted as the power key wont work. When i re-inserted the battery and powered up but it was different boot method. before selecting recovery option the booting of phone was smooth..but after that it stucked for a few seconds first and then came the home screen.

After all this as my battery was getting low i decided to put it on charge. I connected USB Cable to charge it and realized after sometime it isnt being charged,,,there was no orange led that usually indicates its being charged.

So thats all. I dont know if dropping the phone was cause of it or doing recovery ( note: i never made a backup of my phone every..i dont know why i did it, in hoping that it would go back to GB itself) and the appearing of red trianlge with ! mark and me removing the battery did it.

Please help me. I spent entire night on finding the solution but couldnt find anything.

Phones warranty is over..Its not rooted or has CWM as i dont know that stuff.

I'm new to the One, had a Nexus 4 for like 4 months, and I really liked the PAC rom. I know I can install the PAC port, PA, or a various other AOSP rom. But I do really like Sense, one thing I'm not sure I can adjust to going without is the screen settings from PA. Everything looks ginormous in comparison to my Nexus. I believe I had most apps and the UI set to 240 (slipping my mind right now) I did poke around on here and on Google looking for some sort of WIP, but didn't stumble on anything much. Is there any hope of ever getting a stock Sense ROM with DPI setting options similar to PA?

Perhaps a modified PACS rom? I know it's probably not going to happen, maybe it's too much work or not even possible, but PAC + Sense would be greatness. :D

Thanks for dumbing this one down, but I think I managed to screw things up anyways.

I've gotten the dreaded "Security Error" and can't seem to get the phone to be recognized by the computer anymore. I can get the phone to the S/W ugrade screen, the drives load, but the adb, the lg software, fastboot, all don't recognize the phone. Did you ever run into something like this? If so, what methods did you use to unbrick?

Thanks!

** EDIT **

So I was able to finally get it to fastboot using Lelus fastboot package. Kept trying to load the files for JB (option 7), would get the flipped fastboot screen, phone would restart. Would enter S/W update mode but not communicate with KDZ. Instead I used option 5 to load ICS, got the flipped screen again, waited for the phone to restart, entered S/W update mode, and now KDZ connected to the phone. Currently going back to stock before trying unlock boot loader again :D Cheers
