Sorry [MENTION=4590326]bthorne79[/MENTION] I should have been a little more specific.

I am looking for a system dump of the latest update. I believe it is L720TVPUBNC6

If not I have made a stock deodexed base from the odin package but need to test first.

Thanks.

I agree there is good information in your post and I appreciate all your hardwork to benefit us 720T users.

This thread is meant as much as is possible to be a central repository for 720T users. I certainly don't mind urls to other places that have information (files, videos, apps, etc), but this thread is not meant to invite or send users to other 720T blog threads. It is supposed to centralize 720T info and bring users here...It should not be used to tell the users to leave this thread and join other 720T threads....why send people to another blog to work on 720T development....rather, lets keep the discussoon here on this thread.

Again, I am appreciative of the work you are doing and hope you will consider using this thread to further your 720T development .

Can you please provide direct url's to to the download locations and to the youtube videos? I would love to include them in the OP with your xda name as due credit.

I have been running v6.2 for a while (jflte version). I'm honestly not even sure if that was correct, but it worked so I didn't worry about it.

Which version of 7.1 are you running for the sprint L720T? Is JFLTE correct?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] frukyyy:
Correct. However, this in not an upgrade but rather a new build from scratch so it requires a fresh install. Anyway I never dirty flash the ROMs.

Cf Root link is already in the OP and I feel it is better and a safer practice to always refer users to the source rather than to 3rd party download sites.

I believe there is a newer odin v3. I can add that URL when I have time and give you props for the idea.

I need to give the usb drivers some thought and work. I believe there is a more direct samsung link to the latest drivers and Kies will also provide the latest safest drivers. When I have time I can add those links and I'll give you props for the good idea again.

Sent you a private message about the videos.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Daisflaque:
The videos have songs in the background. These songs are 'adult'. As such these videos may not make it to op. This is understandable. But imo.. a little over the top. I'll not be doing much development anymore. I'm stretched to my limit as it is. And this junk with not being able to surf the web or look up a simple map while in call has gotten the better of me. I'm going back to my s3. At least it's not crippled. Good luck guys. Oh and I heard rumor of Cnexus making a rooted stock Odin .tar. Not sure of the validity.. But I know he and a few other devs can type circles around me. Lol

Question: How can you tell if you have a voice mail on these GS4 720Ts? I can see I have a missed call but I can't tell if the caller left a message (voice mail) without dialing in to voice mail each time and checking.

I have it set to make knock sounds and vibrate (see pic below) but it's not happening.

i have the 720T and i just purchased wifi tether router and it seems to work in terms of connecting to the phone with my laptop but when i try to goto a website it just sits there saying loading but never loads. in about 5 minutes of waiting it says

Sent Data: 0.01 MB

Rcv Data: 0.02 MB

i was able to follow the OP 99% except for one option i wasnt able to change and that is "ApType: ad-hoc". I see it in the list for the config but it is darkened so i cant select it to change anything. Other then that i tried different channels as well but no luck, i get right at 20mbit down currently on my S4 but the tether aint doing crap. Any ideas? I am fully rooted with philz custom recovery on stock 4.4.2 rom
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bgmg:
Wifi tether is constantly being updated. It seems in one of the latest updates if you select method = hostapd it automatically greys out aptype. In short, aptype is no longer relevant. I updated the OP accordingly. I also added a few more of my settings to the OP. I hope it helps you.

A couple of other possible factors are:

1) perhaps someone with philz custom recovery can give you some insight. I haven't used a custom recovery root method and don't know what affect that might have. I'm completly stock rooted with towelroot using Nova launcher and titanium backup for freezing with supersu.

2) perhaps it's your computer hardware or computer settings. Try connecting another computer.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] NEOeclipseOP:
yippee, the problem was the wifi mode, i changed it to "N" and it connected instantly to the website once i connected to my phone on my laptop. Thanks for the quick response and awesome thread. Your a savoir :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bgmg:
Yor welcome and Cool I'm glad it worked. I also have ssid hidden and encryption type=wpa2. I also use the blacklist and whitelist (mac filtering) for secutity. Blacklist and whitelist cannot be set until the client is connected but it will remember the settings when the clients are disconnected and reconnected at a later time.

It is really an impressive tether app.

Have you all seen this post from jpond below on another towelroot discussion thread? I compared the hash tag of the link below (tr3.apk) to the hash tag of the original tr.apk version 3 that I downloaded long ago which I rooted my phone with. It matches perfectly. I have not yet compared it to the tr.apk behind the lambda as jpond did, but by everything I've read this appears to be legit.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JerryGNYC:
Have you set up Visual Voicemail?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bgmg:
No because visual voice mail requires a monthly subscription fee after the trail period.

Should not the phone tell me with an indicator when someone has left a voice mail so that I know to check it?

From what I understand, Visual Voice mail is basically a audio to character recognition that converts the audio voice mail to text so that I read the voicemail on my screen with out having to dial in to voice mail like in the middle of a meeting.

I just want to know when some one has left a message so that I know to check it.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] JerryGNYC:
I don't pay for those premium features, I just hit cancel after the free trials expire. Never had a problem with billing (just checked a statement to make sure).

The Visual Voicemail app downloads a recording of the voicemail and lets you listen to it "locally". You can file them or delete them (there's a trash folder too). If you don't have a good 'net connection, then you have to call in.

And that's the icon I get for voicemails in the screenshot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bgmg:
Hmm, well I will defrost it and give it another wirl. It still seems like the notification should work regardless of visual voice mail being enabled. I'd prefer the voice mails not be downloaded. I'd rather call in and listen when I'm ready and just get a beep or something when I have a voice mail, like the good ole cell phone days.

it reboots randomly anytime for no reason.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bgmg:
After.

Each time I try something such as defrosting the visual voice mail app, I reboot and call my cell from another number and leave a fresh voice mail. Still no notification that a voice mail has been left. I wander if there is a particular service I froze that would stop voice mail checking.

whats a good rom for our phones besides stock
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] td030981:
Ok guys I have a big issue. Yesterday I noticed that my phone was not connecting to 4G. So at first I thought nothing about it but I noticed that whenever I went to try to update my roaming list or my profile it would give me a no network error. But I hate network everything was working fine other than I could not do the updates so I start doing some research and I found that you can enter a code I think it is##72764# or something like that. And it reset the phone but the issue was still there. So I tried the other code which is ##764# which is just the last 3 numbers of the first code but this code does a factory reset. Well it did just that. Erased all data and apps but the worst part is it took sprint out of the phone. It's just Google. No sprint apps. Can't check the account. I have data and voice but the update issue is still there. The ##72764# sends you to hands free activation and my phone loops. Won't connect to network. I need help. At least to get the sprint apps back. Data is work I just can't update my lists.

---------- Post added at 04:44 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:40 AM ----------

Look at the bottom of the screen shot. No sprint. It says Google now. Oh and the spark splash at boot start up is gone too.

Here is another. Look at the network name.

One more. Look under device info at carrier? What the ....... is that?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Dngrsone:
Unfortunately, I don't know how to restore your phone to its Sprint roots.

However, I did discover that after you do the ##72764# reset (if that's the real number, I can't verify that at the moment), you need to do a PRL and Profile update to restore your network connectivity.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] td030981:
Yeah that's the thing. It's won't take. It was working before or after. I even went to different roms to see if it would load everything back in. Now the candy rom did say sprint but you can't do updates in the custom roms. Well I didn't see the option. This is really bugging me lol. I do have data and voice tho. Glad of that but something isn't right.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Dngrsone:

Hello,

I'm a fan of CM, and after reading, I understand that we can install other roms like CM. My question is whether or not you can turn on the 4G LTE radio without a full phone reboot while running a custom rom (preferably CM11).

In stock Touchwhiz, if you change the network setting the phone goes into a full reboot in order for the change to take affect.

Also, if you're able to turn on and off the 4G (or spark, or whatever) without a system reboot, I wonder if you're also able to use the phone AND surf the web at the same time. Is anyone running CM, or a similar custom rom to confirm?

My previous phone was the Samsung Epic 1, and I REALLY miss the days when I could multitask with my phone. I suspect that multitasking voice and data on this phone is going to require some high level coding, unfortunately.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] td030981:
Not sure about CM roms but I was able to talk and surf on Candy rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bthorne79:
You should not be able to the SVDO is not in the S4
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] td030981:
Yeah that was what I thought. But I flash Candy kat and my phone did it. It may be because my phone has deleted sprint out of it, not sure but it worked. I'm not on the rom now as I only flashed it to see if data was working and thought I would get my sprint network apn back. I saw it when I was making a call and the phone was on speaker and I saw I had 3g so I try it and it worked.

---------- Post added at 12:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:23 AM ----------

Thanks for the reply. I'm not sure what the screenshot is showing. Are you saying that the reason it worked is because that particular APN was selected prior to switching over to candy?

Is anyone else on a custom ROM? Can anyone else confirm whether or not they can surf & talk simultaneously? Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] Daisflaque:
sprint has crippled the device with triband. Triband devices are not capable of svlte or anything like it. confirmed by me 100 times and a quick call to sprint will confirm this too.

---------- Post added at 10:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:34 PM ----------

it is a hardware thing. in Triband devices they have bound all the radios together. they can NOT Work independent. this is not software. it's hardware. maybe Droid had Wi-Fi on.. this Ian just not possible. I've tried everything the only thing I could think of would be to flash a regular 720 modem/baseband.. but I'm not gonna brick my s4.. lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] td030981:
That was me lol not droid. That pic was just to show how my apn are not sprint. It like some kind of generic Samsung stuff but it's working. And I'm not sure how I was able to pull off having 3g while in the middle of a call but it was there. I'm running supers4 rom right now so it doesn't work with this one. I didn't know what happened but it did lol. Cause I was shocked when I saw it. So shock that I pulled up my browser just to see if it was real.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] DroidJer:
Ugh! So the regular L720 has seperate radios, and this L720T has just one?! How did I end up with this downgraded phone? I don't understand why Sprint & Samsung would take a product, and variate it to make it worse. I mean, wtf?

TD, your APNs look exactly like mine, except not a single one of them are selected. I don't think I lost Sprint, though. The phone works great on regular CDMA, however I do miss calls, and get choppy voice service when its set to LTE/CDMA or Automatic. Could this be the reason why?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot] bryguy9021:
The triband im 90 percent sure has 3 radios in 3 corners of the motherboard. Saw a pic b4. It can talk n surf in 4g. Cyanogenmod can not talk n surf at all. Well known issue. Effects all cm based roms as well so basically every rom. Radio bands can be switched off so they cant all be linked. This can only be done thru dialer codes in stock however.

The s3 had an added radio for surf and talk. The s4 with sprint has expanded lte which includes voice. The lte itsself covers it. Not a seperate radio
