I notice at 3 days and confirm today that some issues exists when turn on/off mobile data.

I have it on, lets says for 4 hours and them I lost the mobile data connection, but I have network signal.

I try to turn mobile data off and on and he don't turn on, but the widget shows is on.

After I reboot the S4 the mobile data goes on and works fine. I some cases I have mobile data on, I turn it off and them if the try to turn on, in 1 try of 3 the mobile data don't turn on, and in some times I notice that i also lost the gsm signal.

I have radio XXUFNC9, so may question is: What radio is more stable to I test ?

I cut down an old normal size simcard you could try if you have a spare payg sim. Google image it for a guide.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bartveld:
Just to be complete: when this issue occurred I was on I9505XXUFNA5, which up to then had performed normally. Changing to I9505XXUFNC4 didn't make any difference. I'm tempted to try your FNC9, but it seems this problem occurs irrespective of modem.

Well, XXUFNC9 makes no difference. It's not the modem, I'd say.

I have strange problem, it started about 2 month ago. First, when I was using GPS - after using it, something was getting FC and phone was totally unstable. Sometimes it just froze, sometimes reboot. After seeking stuff in logs, I found that Google Services was the cause - after removing its data and updates, and updating it again - it seems to work. But, also my camera gives me something similar :/ I started prior to GPS, just mentioning GPS.

The camera (it's APP independend, tried stock app, Snap and Google Camera). Sometime I can take 1 picture, sometimes 10, sometimes 40 but then, in snap, it seems like the shutter is not working (it doesn't save anything) and than phone reboots. Sometimes it freezes (like today, BLACK, had to reenter the battery). Also, last 4-5 pictures are corrupted. I use SD for this (saving pictures), I also use Picture2SD for stock and google.

So my 2 predictions are: SD Card (Sandisk, red one, 32gb UHS) or Camera. Did ANYONE had something like this? Any possible test scenarios? Any SD testing tools? Any ideas? I will be VERY thankful for ANY IDEAS :( I'm so frustrated I'm considering selling this damn phone :-/

Also - my ZeroLemon 3000mah battery died week ago - VERY bad :-/

Sorry for my English.

Changing the hotplug_media to 1 hasn't fixed my audio problem, it still glitches out every so often. Definite not the phone/music... Anyone have any solutions?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] radx:
Anyone got the stock camera to focus on touch? I've tried other camera apps from Google Play Store and they seem to work fine but Google Stock Camera does not even seem to respond on touch. It shows the zoom icons for 0,5 sec but then just ignores the request to focus.

I tried searching the thread for this but I only found people asking about it but no answers.

What Camera App do you people use that works as expected? I don't really need a ton of camera features but focus is important. Thanks :D

Edit: It seems clearing the app data fixes the problem temporarily. Weird. The Google Camera works flawlessly on my Nexus 5 though but I guess it cant really be compared.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] bartveld:
Yeah, I'd like to hear more too...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Formhault:
Try with another ROM, like SlimKat or CyanogenMod (though, they're AOSP, not GE). I had no such issues with this ROM or SlimKat.

For SD testing... search for "sd test" on the Play Store and try one of those apps.

And don't worry, your English is great ;)

Bad luck Brian? :silly:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] TJ!:
Havent been following this thread for a while now, but I've had similar problems regarding audio.

I've managed to minimize the problem now at the cost of battery life.

Using ktweaker I've set my governor to interactive and scheduler to zen. I've also upped readahead to 4096 for both internalø and external.

I still get the odd audio hickup, but now it's barely noticable whereas before the glitching lasted a second or two at a time.

jfltedcm question?

I used your rom before and it worked very well, I have recently received Galaxy S4 SC-04E (JapaneseDocomo) jfltedcm as a gift, and I'm having a lot of difficulty finding a quality ROM.

This is very much the same device as i9505 with slightly different camera driver and more internal storage (32gb).

Is this Rom compatible with my device?

Idk about whether that super conservative option will work, but i was running art runtime when i had the audio jitters when screen is off.

I switched back to dalvik and using the same ktoonsified v6 profile, the jitters are gone without me changing any settings in ktweaker. It could be due to art, not sure. But it's all good for me now. Will update if i experience any jitter.

Running the newest KitKat version with default Kernel included in the ROM.

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately the S4's camera is ****, low light performance especially is just terrible. It's OK in daylight, but that's about it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] iamnotkurtcobain:
You are right but that could be said about EVERY smartphone camera.. Lowlight isn't that easy for a camera. Even real digital cameras have massive trouble with it. People need a dslr for such photography. Or a good, expensive pocket one. I have the Sony RX100. I never use the S4 again for photography.

I took this pic in almost full darkness with the Sony RX.

The other with some light.

I took the same with the S4.

They were pure ****.

Of course every smart phone camera will have some issues in low light, but the S4 is particularly bad. It's not even usable compared to other phones from 2013 in low light.

As for the HDR issues in CM, it's sammy's fault, doing HDR their own way for no reason at all.

Sometimes when I was playing any game some black blocs started flashing very fast on the right corner of the screen. With the CM the system wasn't smooth as the GE is. I had lag with games no matter what profile I was using on ktweaker. And a have a much better battery life with GE. Danvdh your GE ROM is epic!!!! I'm using it for months! I just was trying your CM. But I prefer the GE
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] sushidog:
I totally disagree. Performance is almost the same, sometimes even better, and battery last longer on CM. Also is much better having almost all the stuff of of the box without the need of Xposed or Xprivacy.

- Go back a few steps and click on Restore profile from sdcard an select Ktoonsified v6

- After that go back and click on Main Settings.

- Go to CPU Settings and select Governor Adjustments.

- In Governor Adjustments select All parameters.

- Scroll to disable_hotplug and set that to 1 (default is 0)
