First Thanks to Marrk !

I hope we can go on to discuss, help and develope for the 9502.

Like on Marrk's blog i made an illustrated guidance for installation of CWM, ROOT, remowing bloadware, updating STOCK-ROM

like Marrk does but it is in german speech. I will see to make it in english too.

Thanks for this new thread.

Thanks to Marrk to create this new thread!!

As him and Goes Like Hell me too I had written a "Step by Step" tutorial in Italian language in order to help in flashing roms on Samsung Galaxy gt-i9502.

Below is the link to the most followed Italian Android Forum:

In the previous page of the Italian thread (post #121) I also recognized credits specifying that they provide all the contents and I only organized, merged and translated their guides for italian users.

Ciao!
[Galaxy S 4 General] samsunggalaxys5:
HI,

I checked your new thread. Good tutorial.
[Galaxy S 4 General] qlaz:
Thanks for new thread.

One thing I cannot get out of my mind is - described this in the older thread - when or if the caller recognition (match number to address book) really be fixed.

The caller recognition in SVA ROM (it must be the radio stack in Stock Rom causing it) is matching the number in a strange way, in most of Europe (at least) it cannot handle a contact stored in a different way compared to how the operators sends it (prefix or not).

I got explanation from European guy that normally for caller recognition a phone tries to match, starting from the last, nine numbers from last position to the left. So, if matched the last ones, it get the name. Don't know if it is true, source not confirmed.

Anyway, the method used on these firmwares seems to work everywhere, have been traveling with my European i9505 in Europe, Asia and US with no issues. So why implement another behavior on the i9502- I just don't get why an operator request this from cell manufacturers.

Last post on this issue. I wait and see if it ever will get fixed. I can live with phone numbers stored in double format.

PS - I can use any number length on the SVA caller id, no difference at all, phone can still and only match my contacts as long as I store them in correct format.
[Galaxy S 4 General] Lexo1972:
I live in Italy and in my contact list I have some numbers stored with Country prefix, some other numbers without Country prefix... and i do not notice missmatch with caller id... Often enough I receive call by customers living abroad Italy and if I do not have their number stored in the contact list, instead of their name, it appear the name of the city from where the call is coming (e.g. Seoul, London, Washington D.C. etc. etc.).

Have a nice day! ; )
[Galaxy S 4 General] qlaz:
OK - Will test it in Italy next time I am there.

The thing is when the carrier sends the number without country code it is impossible for the caller id to be matched if contact is stored with country code - the caller id match from left to right it seems and it will then be a conflict with the prefix/country code when doing so. From right to left, it would probably work fine.

Hi, I've got a galaxy s4 i9502 arriving soon. I was wondering what the difference is between the procedure shown on video and the sva procedure for installing Google play? The video one seems easier. Any major differences?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 General] MarrkDaviid:
It would be great if someone could fix this issue, the problem is that ROM developers would rather work on the i9505 and the i9500, rather than the i9502, due to them being more common devices with a larger community, with no issues due to being sourced from China.

You are better off following my new procedure:

The main differences are that Caller ID works better, SVA ROM v2.5 is already rooted and you don't have to manually remove Chinese bloatware. The new procedure is actually quicker, after you have downloaded the initial files.
[Galaxy S 4 General] jpx2008:
Thanks. Which procedure would be more closer to the original rom?
[Galaxy S 4 General] MarrkDaviid:
The differences in terms of appearance and functionality are minimal between the two procedures. I recommend following the new procedure, otherwise you will have caller ID issues.
[Galaxy S 4 General] goes_like_hell:
Hi folks,

like i promised i made my guidance "How to make CWM, Root and SVA on the GT-I9502" in english.

I tried to make it a little bit more step by step so that newbies can use it.

If you have questions or remarks please fell free to answer/ask in the thread that everyone can read it.

No support via PM etc.

What is the charging port like on the 9502? Can someone please post a close up photo of it?
[Galaxy S 4 General] dumb4ever:
It's the same as your I9505 (uses MicroUSB port)
[Galaxy S 4 General] AMoosa:
That's weird. There's someone selling one on eBay and he says it has a different port.
[Galaxy S 4 General] nfribeiro:
Maybe it is a clone. Can you post here the link?

It is only for the note 3, because it has the new usb port 3

Enviado do meu GT-I9300 utilizando Tapatalk 4
[Galaxy S 4 General] MarrkDaviid:
Yep, the Note 3 has the new microUSB 3.0 port. It has a weird design, because they wanted devices to be backwards compatible with microUSB 2.0 cables.
[Galaxy S 4 General] AMoosa:
Does the 9502 also have that design?
[Galaxy S 4 General] MarrkDaviid:
The i9502 has a microUSB 2.0 port, like the i9500 and the i9505.
[Galaxy S 4 General] goes_like_hell:
Marrk,

do you have Note 3 ?
[Galaxy S 4 General] nfribeiro:
I would love to buy this phone but It's to expensive, even compared with 9505. If I find (but I won't) for 600 euros customs free delivered in Europe I won't hesitate... I only found shops in Asia with high prices and my customs authorities are not so stupid...
[Galaxy S 4 General] MarrkDaviid:
No, should be able to test the N9005 and the N9002 soon though.
[Galaxy S 4 General] qlaz:
Nice guide. I notice that you include a step to root the device, install SU, before install SVA ROM. Think it is not needed.

Perhaps it is necessary if people follow your guide to remove bloatware and install gapps.

---------- Post added at 09:05 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:50 PM ----------

I asked the SVA developer. Told me that incoming call (goes for sms as well) must include country code. So maybe bad luck for me. Perhaps SVA will fix it, I hope so, if it is possible.
[Galaxy S 4 General] goes_like_hell:
For installing SVA-ROM you need Root before.

Regards

Goes like hell
[Galaxy S 4 General] nfribeiro:
No, you don't. You need a custom recovery, only.

You don't need to be rooted to went to the recovery.
[Galaxy S 4 General] goes_like_hell:
Ok! I ve learnd something. That you dont need Root for CWM did i know but that root comes already with SVA i did not.

Goes like hell
[Galaxy S 4 General] MarrkDaviid:
I think that people are getting confused about whether you need to root the device before installing SVA, because of the below guide:

SVA is already rooted, as SuperSU is on the device after SVA has been installed, and you are able to modify root files without any issues. It can be confirmed whether or not your mobile is rooted, by using an app like this one:

Well done Dude!! :good:
[Galaxy S 4 General] bmecchi:
Hi Guys!

Good to meet you here. I was worried about where to keep learning about 9502.

I did install 2.5 rom on my 9502 successfully and very happy to have a "regular" Android OS in it.

I still have some freezing issue regarding something between SMS message, Contacts and Phone apps that could not manage to know where is the trigger for the freezing behaviour. I use to got message that contacts or message app has stopped and once I got a message that IU has stopped.

There is a turn around procedure I have being done which involves recovery + wipe cache / dalvik. + reboot. Use to work. If not, turn off for about 5 minutes and turn on again.

Then I download and install Clean Master and set it to advise for clear memory at 80%. It helps lot.

It use to happen every day near 4pm and now only about once a week. The problem is it always happens when I'm in need of doing several phone calls checking number at contacts, so it really bother me.

Lifeproof cover for S4.

Lifeproof has just released 2 models for S4, one uses its own screen glass as part of the case (nudd model) to keep the touch experience and the other has its own anti scratch cover over it (fré model).

Frank speaking I can only trust on fré model, once I plan to swim with it.

Does any one has this models or similar from other factories and can tell us your impressions?

What extra features does the sva 3.5 have? How much is it and where can I buy it from?

Is there anyway to check if the phone is genuine and not a clone just with the serial number?

Check the link posted by Marrk, there you can find descriptions. Personally I think the main difference is that you are able to customize the appearance (xposed framework)

Hello all, Ive had numerous android phones and don't mind a bit of playing. I have a pioneer app radio in my car and run ARL liberator. Ive just got my 9502 and love it, however I have found an issue. Although all the software runs when I plug my MHL HDMI adaptor in, the phone does not see it, it wont even charge through it. Its the same genuine Samsung one I used with my S3. Has anyone got a MHL/HDMI adapter working with there phones?

Cheers

Gav
[Galaxy S 4 General] qlaz:
I had one of these adapters for my S2 and I remember that one did not work on my S3. Can it be that the S3 one does not work on the S4?
[Galaxy S 4 General] Lexo1972:
Yap, that's it! Adaptor for galaxy S3 won't work on S4... By the way some other android useres in another italian android forum are saying that their S3 nont original cable is working also on S4... in being "not samsung" they are not able to indicate the brand... so may be a "few euros" MHL/HDMI cable bought by a chinese ebay's seller should work better than the Samsung one...
[Galaxy S 4 General] 21gg:
The adapter I have is genuine samsung as far as I know and worked on my original s4 (i9505 LTE), Ive even tried my previous adapter. Its odd how they don't even show its charging let alone functioning as HDMI. Ive ordered a new MHL 2.0 to see if it makes a difference. It might be because obviously its the octo-core model but it could also be a rom issue, just not sure.

So has anyone else tried a MHL adaptor with thier I9502?

Cheers

The link works, tried 5 minutes ago. I never used the download manager myself. I used the normal free version (very slow) and started to download before bed time :)

Are you sure you are clicking in the right fields on the site, after all there is a lot of ads. A classic issue as well is fire walls. Try another browser. My only ideas. Good luck.
[Galaxy S 4 General] MarrkDaviid:
I have heard about a few people flashing i9500 ROMs on the i9502, defeats the purpose of having the dual SIM mobile really. Also, i9500 is 3G only, it is the i9505 that has 4G. :)
[Galaxy S 4 General] jpx2008:
Which browser did you use?
[Galaxy S 4 General] 21gg:
Me again,

Well I have purchased a new mhl2 connector. I am having the same problems with this but, I have moved forward a little. Both this adapter and my original one I used on my I95005 are doing the same thing. After looking closely there seem to be two rows of terminals, such that the connectors on the mhl adapters are deeper. If pushed in fully, presumably so the second row of terminals make contact then its as if nothing is plugged in. however if you wiggle it out a little so presumably only the first row of terminals are connected then its does charge. If I plug in the normal charger lead (with 1 row of contacts) then it just charges straight off.

This is really annoying as I love my I9502 but rely on my phone for all music, sat nav etc in my car so its a pain to be without them. So has anybody got HDMI out working on these phones?

Hello.

I have bought my new Galaxy S4 and I have some problems using it in my car.

My car is Audi A4 equipped with MMI 2G, vocal commands and bluetooth hands free.

If I connect my phone with my car, all is ok (calling and receiving calls, phonebook transfer and I can still use my car's vocal commands.

I am not able to use S-Voice Drive.

If I start car mode on the phone, s-drive automatically fire up when bluetooth connected but it still use my phone mic and speaker.

How can I solve? Someone has the same car/system?

My system does not support A2DP....

Thank you.

Chris
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Anderson:
Are you sure your expectations are right? I have S4 and MMI 3G and S-Voice doesn't transfer to the car speakers. It didn't occur to me that it might/should, all I expected was hands-free function for phone calls and the ability to dial from the car's MMI interface system.

The Bluetooth profile in the pairing settings on the phone is "call audio" only. There is no "media audio" so I'm guessing the only function supported is to handle the phone audio.

Have you seen something suggesting that audio output other than calls should transfer via bluetooth to the car speakers?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrispazz:
No, nothing, but I would like to have it to the car speakers and mic.

I tried a different bluetooth mono router software but no luck.

I hope someone has solved this with some kind of thirdy party software...

:)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr Anderson:
I'm not a techie, but I am guessing that the functionality is limited by the bluetooth profiles supported by the paired devices. If Audi have loaded only the call audio in the MMI software then that is all the car can do.

It looks like you can get after-market A2DP hardware installations (this is a MMI 3G solution, for example). That might enable audio streaming from your phone via Bluetooth, but whether S-Voice would stream also I'm not sure. If I'm honest, I doubt it is possible.
