[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] intristin:
So I have read through this post a few times, I'm pretty noobish when it comes to rooting and custom roms. I have been using the Epic 4g from sprint for years rooted with Cyanogenmod. Just got the SPH-L720T and I tried to install Cyanogenmod with no luck. After a bit of searching I learned that it will not work on my phone. So I decided to at least root my phone so I could get rid of these awful stock apps and bloatware that are slowing down my phone. After reading this thread I get the impression that I will loose Spark if I try to root it? Is this correct or did I miss something? Spark is something I'm simply not willing to use. Since I live in New York City the Spark Network he is extremely strong and extremely fast. Losing it would be like downgrading my cable internet to dial up. So I guess my question is, can I root this phone without loosing Spark? I'm reading some people say no and other I don't know. Thank you for your help and I apologize if it has already been answered and I overlooked it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JerryGNYC:
You will NOT lose SPARK by just rooting your phone. You will lose it if you flash a ROM for the 720 though...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] intristin:
Lose, not use, a typo in my post, lol.

Ok Jerry, thank you so much, clearly I misunderstood what I was reading which I'm sure is related to the fact I'm an idiot. So which method in this thread for rooting would you recommend for someone like me? Meaning which method is idiot proof? :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JerryGNYC:
Nothing is idiot-proof (I work in IT).... :D

If you're running 4.3 - saferoot

If it's 4.4.2 (Kit Kat) - CF Auto Root

Later, train to catch...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] intristin:
LOL, I feel so much better now. :silly: Ok, I have 4.4.2 so I will try CF Auto Root and see how it goes. Thanks again for all your help, much appreciated. :cool:

UPDATE: Well that was super easy. Spark still works, bloatware is gone, phone is running faster already, and I am very very happy!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AuGmENTor:
I am stock rooted just to decrapify. I still have Spark.

Cf Auto Root worked for both 4.3 and 4.4 for me.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] ralph734c:
I'm about to root my L720TVPUBNC6 (4.4.2, WiFi calling update recently) using CF-Auto Root. I want to get a custom ROM eventually, but so far it looks like there isn't anything that will work. Spark is going to be in my area within the next 6 months so I don't want to go without that capability. Are there any updates on a good L720T ROM yet? Also, does anyone know where to find a tar file for my version (NC6)? I've asked about that in a few different threads so hopefully something turns up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AuGmENTor:
I was actually looking for the stock ROM update that included wifi calling. I saw it on my phone, but it keeps on failing. Probably because I am rooted. This probably isn't the place to post this question, but if anyone knows where I can get it, or where I can ask, I'd be eternally grateful. Or an admin could move it to the right thread.

And my CF auto root did n't affect my spark
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] lvdripline:
I'm having the same problems. Keep getting Network error at the e signature part of the activation.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JerryGNYC:
Somewhere around here I saw that someone got WiFi calling working once they were on a WiFi network that gave them (IIRC) at least 800KBPS of bandwidth. You may want to check with Sprint as to how much bandwidth is needed for this feature.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AuGmENTor:
I don't like asking Sprint questions. I always feel like the Root Enforcement Agency is going to show up and take my phone and lock me up.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TAMARETTE:
Please forgive me if I answer your question stupidly, because so much of this tehcnical stuff is just jibberish to me. I thought I understood you to say that you were having problems with getting N6C to install. I also had that problem and noticed this error in the system restore screen:

something like: "/system/etc/permissions/platform.xml has unexpected contents

e:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(status 7)

I only did two things to get the package to install. I installed stock recovery through flashify. That was when I got the error about platform.xml,

so I reinstated the platform.xml.bak file that was created when I changed it to allow write access to my sd card. Then I booted into system restore and installed the downloaded file which was in my cache folder. It installed perfectly and I was able to complete wi-fi calling setup wihtout a hitch. Now all that remains is for me to re-root my phone and hope my wi-fi calling is unaffected because I live in Florida and regular service is really bad.

Again, I'm only an ignorant girl and I probably am missing the point, but just wanted to try and help!

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] frukyyy:
It's to late to ask but I would've proposed ...

My phone is rooted and WiFi calling works. My method was more "painful"; I flashed via idon NAF tar, re provisioned the phone couple times ##72786# to force the update. Once NC6 installed I re-rooted with CF-auto root.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] TAMARETTE:
LOL :) Thank you!

I was wondering if I would still have wifi calling if I installed CF-autoroot. Ok now it's time to fire up odin i guess :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AuGmENTor:
You guys are both way ahead of me. I watch step by step youtube videos (pausing frequently) to achieve anything like this I want to do. You both just totally lost me. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JerryGNYC:
Yeah, and my phone just downloaded the MK5 to NAF update again, and I'm starting to wonder if it's worth unrooting and updating to KitKat... what do you folks think?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] judgeduck:
If your having trouble getting wifi calling to work on your stock phone call Sprint and say: wifi calling isnt working please add it to my account. Apparently the wifi calling feature is supposed to be automatically added to your account when the update is downloaded but many people's accounts have not updated automatically. Took me about 10 minutes on the phone and it worked after the first reboot :D.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] and1us:
please help

I want ask I use Samsung galaxy S4 720T triband but I go Asian and how can I root or update to use GSM sim ? anybody can do that please help me !
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AuGmENTor:
I think I'm going to unroot, apply update, reroot. I really want wifi calling. I live in upstate NY, and I can't tell you how awful service is in places here. So MANY places. And I may be nuts, but I think the towers are on buoys or something. Standing still the signal comes and goes, comes and goes. A lot of times no data. Wifi calling would really fix a lot of that.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] judgeduck:
Augmentor,

Call sprint and have them add wifi calling to your account. The update fails to add the service to many peoples accounts. The fact that your rooted is irrelevant. Read my instructions one or two posts back then post an apology to everyone for not reading. ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AuGmENTor:
Sigh. SORRY everyone, for not reading.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JerryGNYC:
Sounds like Sprint service in parts of NYC, I lost data on my commute this morning where I normally have it. Think I'm going to do the same thing soon... :eek:

---------- Post added at 08:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:17 AM ----------

No WiFi calling unless you're updated to NC6...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] youngnex:
Confirming C-rom works here. Spark is definitely faster, way faster.

However this ROM kicks ass and 4glte is flying. Ally of 3g and 1x at places though. I'm a happy camper. I'll be restoring to stock whenever I know IMA need faster speeds. Other than that its all gravy. Hotspot works ect.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] AuGmENTor:
What is NC6? I assumed it was the update that I am trying unsuccessfully to apply. I'm going to call Sprint tomorrow and tell them to activate it then follow the restore, update reroot steps I described above.

Hello everyone! I bought l720t. I would like to have cyanogenmod on my l720t. Can i use CM 11 for jflte

for flashing my device?

I use cdma operator. Will work fine cdma module with CM 11(i'm about voice, sms, internet...)?

sorry for my english)))
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JerryGNYC:
NC6 is the update after NAF (first SGS4/TW version of 4.4.2). It's much smaller than the update from MK5/4.3 to NAF/4.4.2. I don't think it brings anything else to the table but WiFi calling. Which works great, by the way.

Unlocking Sprint L720T

Hello All,

Has anyone of you figured out how unlock this new Sprint L720T in order to work with AT&T, Tmobile or others international Carriers like Verison or Orange?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] daniel4653:
No.

---------- Post added at 11:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:18 AM ----------

Yes it should work fine. But if you plan to.use this outside of the United States or Puerto Rico the phone will not work since there is no unlock method for the L720T.

[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] HyperMalac:
Hello to all!

After I've upgraded my Magician to 1.13 I recognized my screen disaligns after 5 minutes of use. The I've downgraded to 1.12, but the disalign still stays. After browsing the forum I've recognized that much people have the same problem too. Some guy says that you should downgrade your ROM, or take the unit to the HTC European Service (if you have guarantee).

After browsing in the registry, I've found a regkey about Calibration. I modified it, and now the machine runs good, without disaligning.

So the method is the next:

1. Open your favourite Regeditor (Resco, Total Commander etc.)

2. Open HKLM/HARDWARE/DEVICEMAP/TOUCH/

3. Open CalibrationData You will see coordinates.

- The first coordinate is always x coordinate, so that is the horizontal

- The second coordinate is alwasy the y coordinate, so that is the vertical

- The first number pair (ex.: x,y) is the center point

- The second one is the upper left

- The third one is the bottom left

- The fourth is the bottom right

- and the last one is the upper right

My screen calibration is:

474,498 814,773 814,228 119,228 119,773

I hope it will help to guys who has the same problem.

If someone finds better calibrate coordinates, pls post it.

Cheers,
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] experiment626:
cheers for this , I have the same problem and have tried many different tweaks with no result.

My co-ordinates were different but then I was getting a mis-alignment problem I will give your co-ordinates a go and report back.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] jychow:
mine has no issue or whatsoever. working fine since...

my coordinates are:

hey guys can you make a permanent fix for the disalignment bug of xda mini?

i have this problem...but i got a solution on this topic,but the problem is when you hardreset the ppc its going back again the problem unless you tweak it again in regeditor...

can the rom developers include this tweak for the upcoming cook rom for xda mini so that the screen disalignment can be fix...

thanks

to HyperMalac:

so, the solution is to change the coordinates with yours?? hmmm ok i will try it.. i (and my friend here) have the same problem. i thought this is LCD problem and cannot be fixed unless u change the lcd (as 1 of the member said) thx~! i'll let you know~!

Finally I've took my Magician to the HTC Europe Service Center...Waiting, for solution....Will post the result

Cheers
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] nurrochmat:
hypermalac....

so the reconfiguration in registry do not solve the screen missalignment problem? Coz I've try, but it seems no result, only the frequent of screen become missalign is decrease...

any solution for this?
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] HyperMalac:
Well, the registry modding, only reduced the misaligns, for me too. I saw somewhere on this forum that this problem is hardware problem, but I don't think so. Someone said, that the touchscreen has a factory malfunction. Anyway I'd took it to the service, an as soon as I get it back, I will post, if it's solved the problem, or not.

Cheers
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] erwinsie:
@HyperMalac:

well, when u get ur mini back from service centre, ofcourse it will be fixed, no more sreen disaligned, for sure..

now, the problem is, why this happend to many people (from different countries) ?? can you ask the service center while they keep your mini : what is wrong with xda2 mini lcd?? why this disaligment happend? how can we avoid this?? how to fix (without send back to factory) etc etc.. please ask, if possible, ofcoz... thx alot

FYI, this is not the only problem that many xda2mini from difference countries get. other problem is after take the battery out for only 5 secs, you will get HARD reset. the backup battery is not functioning~! happend to me~! then sent mine to factory, they fix it but strangely, they change the MOTHERBOARD~!

ah, i think someting is wrong with HTC.....
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] HyperMalac:
Well, when I get it back, I'll ask your questions, if it's possible, and I hope too that the service give some solution for us, to avoid this problem (screen misalignment), without taking our magician to service.

Battery problem:

Changed the motherboard???Do you mean the hardware buttons?

Well, my magician works fine expect the sreen, so I haven't got any batt problem. But I will ask it too.

Cheers
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading] littld:
Hardware Issue

Pretty sure this IS a hardware issue. Happened on my MDA Compact and got progressively worse.

No amount of hard resets, software configuration and ROM upgrades fixed it.

Came back from HTC good as new.

I have heard that using screen protectors causes this as it is touching the screen all the time.

I no longer use a screen protector so I'll let you know next year if the problem has come back again!
[Sprint LG Optimus G] morganstein:
I'm sure that this is the wrong place for this, and yes, I did search, but....here goes anyways:

I think I've narrowed it down to the Nexus 5 or the G2. I've been very happy with LG in the past, and see no reason not to keep it up. Here's how I see the competition:

Nexus 5 pros: Price, "pure" Android, HUGE aftermarket support, wireless charging.

G2 pros: IR blaster, camera, battery, slightly larger display.

I know there are other differences, these are just the ones that jump out to me. I would be 100% sold on the G2, if not for the fact that it's not running 4.4 out of the box. I use group text at work a lot, and have yet to find a replacement SMS/MMS app I like as much as stock.

If it matters, I'm on Sprint (unlimited data) and currently have the OG running CM11.

So.....thoughts? Preferences? Experience?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nanstedt:
I highly recommend the HTC one. I got one and had to give it to my wife after she had a mishap with her phone and water. Anyway, was by far the best phone experience for me. Plus if you are into rooting you have the Google play edition roms which is pure android I think. Camera and video editing software are second to none. My two cents. I have and lgog but as soon as best buy has the one for $50 again I'm upgrading.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] ThatKawaiiGuy:
I'd prefer the G2, if you do root, you'll have the same phone when you start flashing stuff pretty much. Except you'll have the amazing battery and screen of the G2
[Sprint LG Optimus G] oohaylima:
You selling your old phone?
[Sprint LG Optimus G] morganstein:
I'm planning on hanging on to it. Let my son use it for gaming.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] nanstedt:
I have an lgog I'll sell. Great condition. Pm me if interested.
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
What is your normal battery life on the G2? I'm just curious. And the G2 is definitely a higher end phone than the Nexus5, the only area I feel like the Nexus5 trumps the G2 in is developer support. But give it time and I'm sure the G2 will catch up. That's the main upside to Nexus devices in general, they are made to essentially be hacked. I also agree that a lot of 4.4 is just overrated. However, where some of the devs are taking AOSP 4.4 is pretty awesome, Omni specifically. The stock camera app that came on my lgog is world's ahead of the android camera so I bet the G2 is even better.

When the 2 phones came out I would have taken a Nexus5 because custom roms and support here at xda is one of the most important things to me, but the G2 is catching up and has better specs.

I wish Sprint would get the xperia line, currently the only phone I would take over a G2 is an xperia z1. 20.7mp camera and removable storage? Yes please! And it survived the same drop test as the Flex(which failed miserably) with only minor scratches on the side. ;)

But currently, I'd actually keep my lgog over either of them because of this community. It's not important to most users, but to me, it makes all the difference. ;)

EDIT: Looking at the G2 forums, it seems as though it's already made some serious strides in development. I keep forgetting [MENTION=3441378]Lrod0175[/MENTION] got a G2 - that guy makes some quality roms. ;)
[Sprint LG Optimus G] I-IoLLoW:
Thank you for the info and easing my curiosity(it can be a bit much sometimes). And I also feel the same way about my lgog. I flash every rom under the sun but I still go back to the stock I've been modifying and backing up since day one.

My lgog's battery fluctuates as well. GTA San Andreas is a battery hog no matter what I do. The reason I asked is because I never get less than 24 hours on the ls970 - my record was 30 hours with 7 hours screen on time. I don't have the higher capacity battery either. So many people seem to get abysmal battery stats with it.

Viper1.1 kernel made an immediate improvement, I never use auto brightness, if I'm not using it(3g, gps, whatever) it's turned off. I turned the capacitive lights off altogether as well. And greenify helps a lot. I also undervolt as much as possible. But I took this earlier tonight(I would have taken another one but started playing San Andreas again and just put it on the charger while I was). Most people don't think this sort of battery life is even possible with the lgog - just shows what constant tinkering can accomplish!

EDIT: Sorry [MENTION=5082961]morganstein[/MENTION] for just dropping my battery stats in your thread and getting off topic.
