unable to connect to mobile data

Hey guys I am loving this ROM how ever I can't seem to connect to anything but 2g or E on the signal indicator. I do not have T-Mobile LTE but I am in an hspa+ area and can't get it to do anything besides 2g. Any suggestions? I saw the part about flashing the modem.bin but I'm not having data drops really I'm unable to connect at all.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] epsix:
So you're still on old MDL modem right? If its is than that's why. You need to flash modem.bin
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PURESKILLZZZ:
I would say flash the modem. It has solved plenty connection problems. Even tho your calls aren't dropping it cant hurt to update your modem ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dandiele:
I'm on whatever this ROM comes with. It mentions if you have data drops to flash the 4.3 modem.bin but I assume this comes with the 4.4 modem.bin? My stupid DSL is down at the moment so I'm suffering on 2g for the moment until its back. It is odd that the only given options are LTE 3g and 2g in the settings. I guess it just gives a general description instead of gsm/wcdma/CDMA etc.

Of course it could have been a typo and the OP meant to say to flash the 4.4 modem?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] epsix:
3G is HSPA+ danvh has H updated on his latest release. Your old modem will not work on 4.3 or 4.4.

Follow the first post carefully you only need to flash modem.bin the other file is your old modem that's you're using now. Make sure your Odin say PASS before you reboot manually.

Now my synopsis of this rom... Its smooth. Nice running ... But I see some small issues in my opinion. I hate this Google search at the top of my screen . How do you remove that annoying bar. The wifi calling doesn't work well. And sending MMS doesn't work via wifi ... I miss that feature.

Another issue I noticed was when I was restoring my text messages it took almost 15 hours. Whats with that slow speed ? This is substandard for any rom. Is there a glitch . I know I am restoring over 24K messages but still that is an overly extensive amount of time ..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] epsix:
WTH 24K? damn...there's no WiFi calling on GE as for search bar on top if you don't like to say "OK google" then change your launcher to Nova or any that you like.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] dandiele:
Whoa wait a second.... This doesn't include Wi-Fi calling I didn't think... Anyway I've used other 4.3 roms with no issues with data but I'll try and figure it out in the morning...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] GoreTan:
You can remove the Google search by using another launcher. I'm using Nova Launcher beta 4 and you can make it look the same as the stock launcher, but remove and customize your homescreens anyway you want it. Just search Google for "Nova Launcher Beta" to download it.

I don't think Wi-Fi calling is supported on GPe ROMs, so it shouldn't work to begin with. I could be wrong though. MMS usually should send through your network connection, but I know I've seen mods for it to send through Wi-fi. Not sure if it works well though.

Holy Jesus, 24K work of messages? Why do you need to keep that many? I won't question your needs, but, I mean 24k messages is alot, and I guess the system bogs down, especially if you have pictures and other content in those messages. I would suggest trimming the size, but that's up to you.

Just downloaded and took a picture successfully with VSCO cam. It's working for me, I'm on the latest build of Dandroid.

What kind of problems are you having?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrgonzodad:
Has anyone had problems with sending MMS? I can receive, but not send, and mobile data working fine. I have an m919, but it is with Alaska Communications. I am using my carrier's APN settings, 4.3 baseband and the 12/05 international it kernel. Thanks
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PURESKILLZZZ:
Well thanks for the tip . Never even thought about that ... And wifi MMS i had since day one with this phone I got so use to it .. I am in many places like basements and dwellings with no signal ... Now I will feel lost ... Searching for a quick fix..

Just noticed my screen capture doesn't work :( .. Had to download a program for that . Or is there something I am missing ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Screen shot: power + volume down

For MMS over Wi-Fi try 8sms. Go under settings, mmsc, and enable the option for MMS over Wi-Fi.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PURESKILLZZZ:
Did you try it with no changes just the rom , Did you try sending to yourself twice just to see if all is working . I am a MMS abuser I should say so I have seen almost every type of MMS issue ..

---------- Post added at 02:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 02:37 AM ----------

Thanks for the screen capture tip .... I really must be tired tonight but dont wish to sleep ... LoL ..

Now the mmsc setting I don't see . I know if I go .. setting >> mobile networks >> Access points names >> T-Mobile I get to the mmsc setting but I am lost as to where you see the setting for allow MMS over WiFi
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrgonzodad:
Things are a little weird now with the local carriers, with Verizon and att moving in the two local companies formed a new joint system, while still maintaining the old store fronts. The APN settings are identical except for the name and APN. If I don't change the name and APN (first two settings) it breaks data and SMS/MMS.

I can't send MMS to myself. Normal SMS works fine, to myself and others.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] laureanop:
Download the app 8sms from the Google play store (it looks and behaves exactly like CM

MMS app). Then go into the app settings as I indicated before
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] PURESKILLZZZ:
Then you found the problem . Its in the settings. Check each letter , period , slash etc .... If you cant send to yourself which is most basic then sending to others wont work . Are there any other smart phone around you that has working MMS so you can check settings ???

Ok .. I will try that and get right back to you ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] mrgonzodad:
So I restored the default APN settings, and just edited the first two lines to my carrier's "name" and "APN". Working! No mms was the only thing holding me back from trying custom Roms vs modified stock with root.

Thank you for the help. Looking forward this rom!

Build Prop

Dan,

First off, AMAZING work you do, as well as the rest of the guys you work with. I was wondering if you would be willing to add a feature to be able to choose the actual model of your phone during install of the rom? I have an SGH-M919 and while I can hand edit the build.prop every time I flash my phone, it would be awesome to be able to pick my true model number on install instead of the default I9505. I of course would be willing to pay for your time to add this feature if it's something that can be done?

Thank you for everything you've done for the community! All the best to you and yours in the New Year!

I am still on 4.3! Do I need to upgrade to 4.4 radio then flash this rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] e-thug:
Very happy with this ROM. I was getting tired of the ICS interface. Restoring my apps & settings from Titanium Backup was not a problem either. Everything works as expected including USB tethering.

Couple of questions...

1) Is there a way to incorporate long press home button to kill foreground app?

2) I seem to be missing it... how to you toggle vibrate mode on the phone? Is my only option to hold down the Volume Down button? I'm not seeing any other way.

EDIT: I figured out their "silent" mode. Not a big fan. I know this was Google's decision and not a ROM shortcoming

I kept that bootloader too since I don't what to trip Knox.

I was on wicked 9.1 which was a 4.3 TW rom. It was starting to lag and cause problems.

Did a full wipe and now I'm on 5.0.1 / NK2, everything is smooth as butter. I'm in love with my S4 again. Thanks for the great job guys!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] crawler9:
I have a feature request if it's not too much trouble. By default, the notification toggle for rotation settings seems to only allow for auto-rotate and portrait mode. Would it possibly to modify it so landscape is also supported? If not, no worries. The same can easily be accomplished with an app. I'd just rather not have an extra app around if not necessary (unless I'm the only one who requires this feature, as it wouldn't be worth wasting your time if it wouldn't make any difference to anyone else). The primary reason I want this feature is because I read on my phone a lot in bed while it's charging and don't want to move it around much and risk shorting my cord sooner. It is simple enough to lift the phone up briefly to rotate the screen to landscape, but returning to the launcher (Google Now Launcher) or any app that doesn't support landscape under normal circumstances mode always reverts it back to portrait.

I also second [MENTION=1583623]BigZero[/MENTION]'s request in post #5181 for allowing us to choose our device model. This matters to me because some apps don't seem to be available unless I change my model and I feel nervous about using any recovery-related apps that automatically detect my device without first changing my build.prop.

Thanks!

lesson to all:

if you full wipe when flashing ROMs, keep your internal storage neat and organized and don't allow apps to wake lock in the background OR greenify ones that do. you can expect to see something like what I'm getting here

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] unit_three:
Trying it out. It's similar to the Google / aosp version but doesn't let you set colors for each individual, or not that I could tell. I do like that quick reply shows the conversation instead of just the text you just received, that's cool. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] saham424:
It does what you do is where u see all of ur messages hold one conversation tab and it should be selected n then click setting in the corner and that's how you change everything for that one person, if it works for you just hit the thanks button for me ?

I have the same issue previously on CM 11 / 4.4.2 as I do now on this ROM. I have noticed it far less with this ROM than on CM 11. It's a known issue at T-Mobile that a batch of bad GS4's was produced by Samsung and they are nice about replacing them if you bought it direct or are otherwise under warranty. If you aren't (like me - bought on Swappa) you are a bit out of luck.

I have noticed a variety of contributing factors to the NO SIM / restart bug. It seems that under CM 11 it was 1 out of 3 spread out reboots (general weekly type reboots) but if I got it shortly after a reboot, it might take 2-4 more reboots and a bit of monitoring until I got to a good state of regular usage. I noticed that if I am charging, running Wifi, running BT, and using the phone heavily, that letting it cool off helps tremendously (disconnecting charging makes the most difference). It does seem to be a power / thermally aggravated condition for me. With this ROM (5.0 / 5.0.1) it is only happening about 1 in 5 reboots and usually only taking 1 or 2 subsequent reboots to get stable. I also had the Wifi bug the last month or so of using CM 11 for about a year (the bug where you can see but won't connect to Wifi networks).

I am on the MDL baseband, but might move to something more recent if I start having more NO SIM issues. I would suggest the same to you, that is to try a few different modem firmwares, but I would say to try letting the device cool off first.

I have also noted that my SIM slot has a bit more wiggle than I like and put a piece of notecard behind the SIM to secure it better. I seem to have fewer NO SIM errors after doing this, so I do question if it is just an issue of poor contacts that get electrically bouncy when the phone heats up. Be advised that you can break the SIM slot if you aren't careful and that it does make ejecting the SIM difficult.
