[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
I suspect 2 things,

#1 Your battery may be having an issue and needs replaced

#2 Most likely your battery is fine, Something I have learned is that it is possible for your Apps to have something go bonkers from the continual backing up and restoring we do from flashing. I had an app that never drained battery before, start draining battery after a fresh install and restore using Titanium Backup. I had no signs of it anywhere in the battery stats. So, I started with my most recently downloaded apps and started uninstalling them in groups until the battery drain was gone. then narrowed it down from there. My fix was just to delete the app from TIBU and do a clean download from play store and it has been fine since.

A general rule of thumb (for my device) I should average 1 hr. of screen on time per 25% battery. That's just how my device has run since day one. Only time I get less usage is from gaming, streaming, poor kernel setup (usually a custom kernel and I have tweaked it or it's set to perform), or a rogue app. I know this rom has provided me slightly better results than this in the past when it was running the stock Ktoons kernel. My suggestion would be to get better battery stats and set it up and use it to see if it finds anything. If that fails I would try a clean flash and try surviving a couple hours without restoring any apps and see how it does. Good Luck

There is one GPE in General that has been modified to use.

Sorry that is what I meant.

4.4.3 here. I tried a clean install of Dan's latest in OP and when I install GNL and then Google Search, it keeps telling me there a newer version Google search in the play store that necessary for GNL to work even though I just installed it from the store. Same thing happens if I uninstall Google Search and reinstall it. I can longer use GNL. I have to restore my Google Search backup to get working again.

Okay, Ill try to explain but this may not be the case, originally many releases ago you could mount the obb folder using foldermount. Then shortly other after, a few release later, charging the phone while off was fixed but it appear around that same time the fix was, mounting of obb folder via foldermount no longer worked :(

Don't know if the two are related?

With the recent release however mounting of obb folder is working again and I couldn't be happier!

If they are related, my comments are

-this phone has been criticized again and again by everyone for coming with such small limited storage, its a huge problem. A Working foldermount fixes this and gives us increased storage via ext-sd. Really important feature for me.

-charging phone while off, this phone is my only phone, its never off. I guess it would be great to have this fix from a completeness perspective, but it comes down to the two, I would much rather have a working foldermount.

- I have 3 android devices and by far the Google experience boot screen is my favorite boot animation.

Maybe try boot animations app from Google play?

---------- Post added at 04:43 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:37 PM ----------

Also, Google experience ROMs don't offer any means to move app data to SD, making foldermount that much more necessary. Also I think dans ROM is the only Google experience ROM providing full foldermount support.

If you can live with only 4 gig storage maybe install ktoonsez kernel, it may fix change while offline.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Completely_Clueless:
So you think the reason I'm having problems with those two features is because of the obb folder?

Certainly my complaints are minor. I don't stare at the boot animation while my phone is booting up, and I can definitely still charge the phone when it's on. Everything else seems to work fine, but I'd just like to know why things suddenly changed! It's a nit-picking habit of mine :silly: . If, after I've tried everything and it still doesn't work, then I'll just deal with it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] cantenna:
Perhaps, don't know for sure, but the timing is on par.

I mount everything with foldermount.

This phone (pre-knox) with with this ROM and a 128 micro sd destroys the Nexus and pretty much destroys just about all other phones.

There is one GPE edition that has been modified to work with SafeStrap. There's still a few issues...but I've been running it for a month and am pleased with how smooth it runs and strong battery life compared to Touchwiz ROMs.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] datrumole:
So i recently flashed this ROM, everything seems to be ok other than this one nagging issue, wanted to see if others were experiencing it

it FREQUENTLY drops the network, like black triangle no signal bars type dropping (from full service). i went under mobile networks and noticed that GSM/CDMA was the default selection in priority and that ATT Phone is the default APN. Can someone confirm this? Shouldn't it be the LTE/GSM/CDMA? Is there any level of debugging i can provide on this issue?

EDIT: I'm on ATT, with MDB firmware
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] norcal einstein:
I'm on the latest build of this ROM, but I've flashed a new baseband separately (NC1).

My phone is set to LTE/GSM/WCDMA and the APN is ATT Phone. If you mess around and try different APNs, I've noticed the preferred network type changes.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] datrumole:
Yes, once i viewed the APNs and backed out, it automatically switched me to the LTE/GSM/CDMA, and things appear to be a bit more stable. Have you had any success with the N1 modem? Do you find an improvement over the stock. I know i used to flash modems for my old S2, however i have yet to mess with the S4 one
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] norcal einstein:
Modem performance is really dependent on a user's location. The best network performance I had was when I was stock, or on a early 4.2.2 rom. Since then, I've messed with flashing modems as I've gone from 4.2 to 4.3 to 4.4 and the performance has never been as good as the early days. Compared to the last 4 modems I've tried over the past 6 months, NC1 has been the most stable with the least amount of data drops and GPS loss.

I'm tempted to flash a 4.2 modem on my phone in search of the old glory days.

And FWIW, I am flashing the modem with Odin twice, not flashing it through recovery.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] sonspot:
I agree with everything you have to day, thing is my last 3 flash's were clean and without restoring backups. All were fresh downloads.. I'm going to try one more clean install. I've been having signal issues too (so far I can live with it) could be a rogers thing.. Modem is mk6
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Amisuta:
How does the KT kernel compare to this stock kernel? Does it provide better battery life and performance? I'm not sure if I should flash it
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] BootlegSnackz:
So I'm usually a lurker as I like to do a lot of research before I jump in but I'm honestly stumped here. All of my sensors on the s4 are not working. I installed xposed and gravity box as well. Not sure if that has anything to do with it but if anyone has any ideas that would be great. Let me know if you need anymore info from me? Thanks in advance
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Droidmissionary:
not sure if there's any differences or if you've tried this already but have you checked the APN and verified it is correct for rogers?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rachelm920:
My signal keeps saying H+ with this rom instead of 4G LTE. I've played around with a few APN settings but they all seem to be the same thing. Any suggestions?

I currently have the preferred network type of LTE/GSM/WCDMA and APN of ATT Phone. The ATT LTE APN doesn't seem to be working.

(I know my siggy says I have a S5, I'm using my boyfriend's old S4 until my warranty replacement comes in :D )
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hawkerpaul:
There may be a problem with your carrier.

Do you have another 4g phone on the same network to see if that's receiving 4g?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] rachelm920:
Not at the moment, I've been having nothing but signal issues... that's why my S5 is out for replacement. A factory reset and new sim didn't fix it. It'd be something if they're having a network outage and I got a new phone out of it LOL

EDIT:

Just checked a coworker's phone, but he has a "prepaid" phone since his S4 broke so it only has 3G. He has full bars on 3G I copied the APN settings from his and now I have no data signal LOL. That's the ATT one... wap.cingular. Changed back and H+ is back
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
Update for you!!

I received my watch this morning at 11:28. The Brown truck just stopped in from of my home and a guy came out with a tiny cardboard box.

The setup was flawless except that, don't ask me why, even though Google Search was up to date, it asked me to update it and reinstall the Android Wear app. I just reinstalled Android Wear and I could finish the setup.

Now, I only need to speak well because French voice recognition is picky. I may switch to English to see if it's better even if English is not my 1st language. For example, it ears "photo" instead of "faute". (faute means "mistake"). I'll have a lot of fun.

So, for people wondering if this ROM is compatible with Wear, the answer is YES.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] norcal einstein:
I have junk reception at home and get H+

When I'm in good coverage areas, the icon changes to LTE and I get LTE speeds.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] i31us:
what makes this ROM standout from other 4.4.4 roms? I would have to flash it to find out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Aqua1ung:
Alright, so now that the dust has settled, any ideas on why the "OK Google everywhere" trick doesn't work for some of us?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] murray42:
For me I'm guessing that it is because I use a Google Apps account rather than a stock GMail. (this causes havoc with the GMail cards also)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
Pure Google experience with no bloat.

Constant support for annoying bugs (look at the change log to prove it)

Lots of improvements (look at the change log to see what has been altered - International support, brightness values, optimized Dalvik, etc...)

Stability (often the bugs don't come from the ROM itself)

What else?

Dedication from the ROM builder.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] superspacey:
Hi Bleedos,

I noted you have a SGH-1337M, is that from Rogers/Fido etc? So I should be able to flash this ROM successfully as well? I've got that model and I've been running CM 10.1.2 for awhile but I'm tired of waiting for a stable KitKat from CM.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
Rogers

It will definitively work if you already are on CM. Just make sure you backup you CM ROM before doing it just in case.

I'm on MK6 and it works well.

Oh! And I used both TWRP 2.5.0.2 and 2.7.0.1 to flash different versions of this ROM with no issues.

Oh 2: I went to the op and now Dan states that he only support the later TWRP. Maybe you should update it before flashing. I updated it using twrp's app and following the official instructions on their site.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] superspacey:
Thanks dude, appreciate the quick reply. I just updated my TWRP to 2.7.0.1 and I'll try to flash soon ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
Yeah!!!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] ma678:
Fyi The latest twrp is 2.7.1.0.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danielhammons1:
I don't think anyone else has given anymore input on your questions, but I'm pretty sure it says in the op you can't charge the phone with it off, don't remember why but it says that. (I personally love that because if my phone is off its because I didn't notice and it died and most likely made me mad because it died lol) the other thing about not having enough internal memory and that issue, have you ever tried partitioning your SD? I personally never liked doing that because I like having all my external sd for my music/media stuff, I haven't seen anything saying you cannot partition and use it for apps so maybe that would solve your internal memory problem man?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
oops. Yeah I know. My bad.

I always invert the two Last numbers.

Yeah there's something wonky with the towers next to work because I get LTE elsewhere.

One thing I have noticed with this ROM is that I get a black screen whenever I make a phone call and I can't hang up without locking the screen and then pulling the call notification from my notification bar and clicking end call. Is there a resolution for this?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] HORiZUN:
I have an SGH-M919...

I traded my SGH-I337 for an SGH-M919 back in January. Do you think this ROM will function as advertised on my model, or should I stick with CM11 for my AOSP experience?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danvdh:
will work perfectly man

sounds like you're proximity sensor needs to cleaned and/or calibrated for AOSP

Blast an air duster down the ear piece.

I did the adb... I'll have access to an air duster Monday. What about the black screen when I'm making calls? I experienced this before on my SG3 but I don't remember what the fix was.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] hjkimbrian:
Same method would fix it. It did for me. Compressed air blasted at the earpiece.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Danielhammons1:
Would it still be safe to use my older version of twrp?? I would hope so?lol

And I'll try that but I have a question before hand, my device is a Galaxy s4 i337, but after flashing this rom it days GT-I9505G, so which device should I download for? Since you elaborated on the correct device thing matters. This may be a stupid question but I just like to be cautious.

EDIT

could I use the terminal emulator option on the twrp website? It says for the i337 version I still don't know if that would be correct or to use the GT-I9505G one??
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] superspacey:
Running the ROM, default kernel and modem.

Whenever I lock my screen I lose cellular network connectivity and then I have to manually reconnect.

Does this happen to anyone? I am on Fido in Canada.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
Wheni bought this phone. It was running 4.2.2 with the modem that came with it. I walked out of the Rogers store and it asked me to update to 4.3.1 (I'm talking about official Samsung TouchWiz Stock ROM here).

I tapped on "Update" and a couple of minutes after I was running 4.3.1 official Samsung Rogers ROM. The modem was MK6 after that.

One week later I rooted and flashed the phone to CM11. Then one month later I flashed Dan's fabulous GE ROM and be never looked back.

OK I did try Kangakat but I came back to Dan's ROM quickly. :)

I did not search for MK6, it came to me.

So now did you find a way to flash it?

I don't remember why you wanted to update in the first time. Connectivity problems?

I came back 2 pages and read you have problems and suspect your jb modem.

I was reading about updating my modem to the latest today and found this http://androidromupdate.com/2014/03...-update-firmware-samsung-galaxy-s4-sgh-i337m/

Hi [MENTION=2231778]murray42[/MENTION], I saw you're using this rom with good success, I myself am using a stock version on a Bell s4 (4.2.2 MDJ) but now ready to take the plunge to KK, would you mind giving me pointers either here or through PM on how to safely flash this rom from my old version?

I've looked at the instructions but it's hard to tell which steps are for at&t and which to follow for a bell phone.

Many thanks in advance!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
I wonder why it's better now considering that MK6 is still a JB modem. It was coming with Android 4.3.1. Anyways, I'm with MK6 right now and have no problems.

I was in the same situation last december as you are right now after buying an S4 from Rogers. I was reading a lot and it was not clear at that time what was the differences between AT&T and Canadian version. I took a different path and let it all in the hands of Cyanogen Installer. That did the trick for me. I ended up with CM11 and CWM recovery and I could flash any other S4 ROM on this forum. I later flashed TWRP because I prefer it over CWM.

Now I know that the main difference is that we don't need to flash loki doki because we don't have a locked bootloader and we have different modem versions. That's funny because with my S2, I could flash AT&T modems and vice versa.

I don't know if anyone else tried the Cyanogen way here.

If I had to do it without Cyanogen today with your MDJ baseband/bootloader I'd begin here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2314494

After rooting, you can update to the latest TWRP if you want:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=54077597&postcount=3650

Then resume to step 4 of the first link.

Are you completely new to flashing or only new to flashing a S4? ;)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] scarmona:
I've flashed quite a few devices before, both phones and tablets. I just refrained from flashing the s4 as a) JB worked wonderfully b) I'm on a 3 year contract with Bell and not looking forward to bricking a phone I don't fully own yet and c) the infamous KK microSD card restriction kept me off as I consider myself a power user and to have full control of my microSD card is a must.

Now I want to get into Chromecast and new features that require KK so I guess I have to take the plunge :)

Will check those resources, do you think I need to flash a stock KK rom to upgrade the bootloader from 4.4.2?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Bleedos:
Not sure about the bootloader part. I thinks it's OK. People seemed only to complain about the modem.

Superspacey updated his modem but not sure if he touched his bootloader. You may follow the links he posted and see what it tells you to do.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Android Development] Spacemonkie4207:
I had the same issue. I used a Nano to micro SIM adapter and it moved the pins and messed up the slot, tried to move them back and a pin broke.

Went to a guy I know who fixes phones and it's an easy fix. He took the Sim/SD card chip from another broken s4 and it works perfectly now.

Lesson learned,

NEVER USE SIM CARD ADAPTERS ON PHONES WITH CHEAP PARTS.
