Iran-Tehran

finally! got the OTA, AGAIN! installed it this time!

it's optimizing apps right now! :D

I can't believe it, Google used to ban Iran for some of it's features, and some of them are Play Store, or Android SDK and Android update. so i used to use a few trick to use these. but i got the update while i was sleep, and connected to WiFi!!!!!? what the he$@!#$?!

I was waiting like many others, checking every while for the update. I was stock unrooted 4.3. Yesterday I became developer by picking many times at version settings entry and the update to 4.4 came in two more seconds!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synosis:
Hi guys,

First thanks for all your help in advance.

My mobile yesterday started to give me error "Not registered on the network" every time I tried to do a phone call. After google-it apparently this is a common problem on the Samsung devices and following a tutorial on the link bellow I was able to root my mobile phone without any problem and following the tutorial on idroidspace I was able to try all the solutions as suggested

As a first option they told me to try using ARIZA patch, but when I ran it says that my model is not compatible. As second option they advice me to flash my modem, I have follow all the instructions but didn't work as well, I was still receiving the error when I tried to do a phone call.

Today I was looking to find the stock firmware (ROM) for my Samsung thinking that a reinstallation could work to solve the error, but after I installed the Kernel file using ODIN v3.07 my mobile is now saying "kernel is not seandroid enforcing" message and after that is not showing any image on the screen

I'm trying to turn my mobile using recovery mode but the same message shows up and the mobile is not turning on...I'm only able to turn the mobile on using the download mode...and ODIN is still detecting it

My Mobile is a Samsung S4 GT-I9505 XXUBMEA unlocked to all the networks from UK

Can you guys please help me? I probably have destroyed the phone already and seek for help to late. But can you guys help me?

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
You need to go to http://www.SamMobile.com and download the newest official stock

i9505 Odin flash firmware/rom and flash it.

Here is the firmware you need:

GT-I9505 United Kingdom (EE) 2013 November 4.3 I9505XXUEMJ8 I9505EVREMJ2

This is the latest official stock samsung jellybean 4.3 firmware for your phone.

This is the stock official firmware for your country and for your phone so it's NOT rooted.

You will have to create a new user account at SamMobile.com but it takes only a minute.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] synosis:
I'm downloading it now.

To install it I will need to use ODIN, right? Click on the button PDA and select the right? Just in case and for double checking

Also, do you think this will solve the error with the phone calls? And should I worry about the kernel message on the startup?

Thanks

hi guys,

I have managed to install the suggested firmware and now the mobile is turning on and I have the recovery mode back as well. The only problem is now the Wi-Fi doesn't work and the error is still there everytime that I try to do a phone call.

There is any suggestions? Do you guys think if I use a custom firmware instead of the stock one the problems will go away? Do you guys recommend any firmware for my device?

Open for any suggestions as I really don't know what can I do more...

Thanks

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gypsy214:
Hey guys I am going to get a Sprint model of the G2.. And I noticed that each variant have it's own development thread.

I also have notices that some of you are not making a rom that will work for all variants.

I'm been a samsung user since the s2 days.. With the S3 and S4 is easier to port a rom from other variants since they're the same device by doing some changes like Libs,

Permissions, build.prop, some framework files, apns-config.xml, boot.img, etc

So since I have not seen roms that are compatible with all variants I am wondering why? I assume they're all the same device and hardware specks? And I also wondering is doing these modifications from other roms to your variant will work.. I'm new to LG but I willing to see if I can port some of the roms for myself. Since the sprint variant has no roms on it's thread.

Wasn't sure if I should comment this on the ElementalX kernel thread or not, so I made a topic...

I bought SetCPU, and its working great. Other than the fact that changing minimum CPU isn't sticking at all. When I set the max (I undervolted it to 1.5 ghz for regular use) it sticks fine, but the minimum just seems to be locked to 300 mhz. Even if I change it, it goes back to 300 mhz.

That is mpdecision at work. Google it, you will find everything you need to know. Once you disable mpdecision (some custom kernels come with it disabled or give you the option to disable it) you min/max cpu freqs should stick :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GSLEON3:
Man, this is OLD news. It is working. You ae only seeing the MPD values, that keep your device from having wake or sleep of death issues. Personally I (even Flar, ElementalX's creator) prefer mdp. It is pretty reliable & since implementing it on the N7 & N5, I certainly haven't had any SOD issues.

At any rate, what those apps report as the voltage is a snapshot based on proc data. It is only as accurate as what the exact voltage is at the instant of that report & hasno effect on what actual device screen on/off minimum voltage really is.
[General Topics] Jsilver73:
So - I'll kick us off with sharing my limited (so far) experience with ART. Well, it works on ominrom 4.4 and the way I changed over was quite simple:

From TWRP run GS2RomNuke [MENTION=4272718]hawkerpaul[/MENTION]

Flash latest omnirom 4.4 [MENTION=4213920]nims11[/MENTION]

Flash latest PA Gapps

Reboot ROM

Settings/about phone/press the build number 7 times

Developer options/select runtime/ART

Reboot (it takes far longer than normal so be patient)

Voila - for me I had zero fc's on first boot, consequently I have had minimal fc's that I have either uninstalled the troublesome apps or the fc's just seem to stop on their own ;)

I have been running on ART and rebooted a couple of times today and the boot time hasn't been significantly affected since the initial boot. My phone seems snappy - however it did when I first ran 4.4 but I'm used to having a super responsive phone running SlimSaber [MENTION=1228651]fusionjack[/MENTION] powered by dori 9.43xx maliv3 - that being said I think things do seem to be running quicker and my phone seems to be 'ultra resopsive' now, although I am cautious of being taken in by placebo! Also, phones usually run very well when clean install of new ROM so we will have to wait and see how this settles in.

Battery - I've been noticing significant drain in comparison to my old set up on 4.3.1 however omnirom is very much in alpha so this may far more to the ROM/kernel needing to be optimized rather than anything to do with running ART.

The only issues I have noticed is of course 'Titanium' fc's as soon as I try to open it, I also use 'overlaylauncher' to give me the option to have a pseudo ribbon with gesture capabilities - it works, however when I try to set it to do system lock (using root option) it doesn't work although asks for root permission (it did work last night when I was running omnirom on dalvik.

Thats it for now - I'm really interested in hearing your experiences thus far :good:

Why GoogleSearch crashes with ART?
[General Topics] Jsilver73:
ART is still in its 'experimental' phase, presumably to give devs and us mere mortal end users the chance to mess around with it and see what works and what doesn't in order to iron out all incompatibility issues for google to roll out it's new solution to compiling code for our user apk's to run on. I have been using google search with ART enabled and it has given some fc's but not unusable. Personally I choose to completely uninstall it at the moment as their are other browser I can use that meet my needs better - and they don't FC - I use 'Maxthon'.

This is probably a very limited understanding of the technicalities and please - if anyone (devs) can explain this better, then please do :)

EDIT: Just checked and google search is also FC'ing running on dalvik
[General Topics] grorg:
Interesting, I never had FC's on dalvik. When I switched on ART I got FC's of Google Search, Google Home, Gmail, and other Google apps. They made a new engine, but teir own apps crashed on it.

[General Topics] Jsilver73:
I can confirm that for me it is working very well, feels much snappier and am currently experiencing no fc's - I noly use the PA gapps mini modular and then uninstall all the google c**p that I don't use (I use nobloat from play:good:)

That is because your Gapps are not ART compatible. If you flash latest PA Gapps full zip you will have Gapps working with ART.

ART?

From what I know, ART really compiles the apks that you download into native code for best-running. But it happens when you're intalling the apps from Google Play, so the apps take a long time to install.

Well, I have not the Android 4.4 because there is not a 4.4 ROM for my phone and it will not have an upgrade :(

ART' users, is it true that with ART the apps take a long time to install?
