I haven't been able to get tether working on any rom with the latest patches. Going to try flashing the original patch to see if that enables it to work again. I did have native tethering on the original patch on goldeneye.

Update: Flashed Goldeneye v.26 with the 3-10-14 Patch and updated apns and native wifi tether is working 100%. Unsure what changed in the newer versions of the Patch that caused it to break tether, but for those like myself that rely on tethering that's what worked for me.

Thanks, i'm grabbing the 3/10 patch. Can i just flash it over V5? or do i need to do a factory reset?

Updated Patch

This Patch should have the simultaneously data while on a phone call and native wifi tethering should work.

Instructions

1.Full wipe required

2. choose full option in aroma installer

3.after setup choose swipe for screen lock (THIS IS IMPORTANT DO THIS AS SOON AS YOUR THROUGH SETUP) pattern should also work but pin and password may cause your MMS not to work once you reboot. Once set do not change!

4.Reboot

5. If you find MMS is not working a reboot should fix the problem but if it does not you may have to use the minimum option in aroma installer patch in which every thing will work except simultaneously data and phone call. Native Wifi Tether should work on this option now.

Is that what Verizon told you? Do you have unlimited data plan? The same thing happened to me. I was on vacation in Florida with my wife who has the exact same phone as I do. I was on 3G and she was on 4G. I called Verizon and they said they would "update" my sim card over the air. After that I had no more problems but later learned from a relative who works 4 Verizon that if you use too much of your unlimited plan that Verizon may be inclined to throttle your data. Can't verify that this is 100 percent true but I had used a lot of data that month and it seemed a little suspicious. Off topic sorry.

EDIT: On my drive to the verizon store, 4G kicked back in. I think the push the guy did over the phone hours before finally kicked in to the stock ROM.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
It kind of defeats the purpose of a pin lock if all you have to do is reboot the phone to bypass pin. I have been trying to get this problem worked out but our bootloader is just enough different nothing seems to work right

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] jrkruse:
It might sometimes but there will sometimes be a delay when you reboot before pin lock screen comes up and during that delay you can just swipe to unlock. Just be aware that this can and does happen
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] orateam:
I don't know if it did anything, but I changed the build.prop file. There was a parm called ro.product.locale set to GB. I changed it to US.

Also, why do people use pins? Seems am awful inconvenience. You know if you lose your phone you can always go to http://google.com/android/devicemanager from anyones phone to locate erase or set a pin.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] 32BitWhore:
Phone won't lock if a thief turns it off. I doubt it constantly pushes the lock request until it's successful. In that scenario, you'd have to check ADM constantly in order to ensure your data was secure.

I wonder if I disable the country check if Pandora will work. I run the hacked Pandora from Team Blackout and also tried the Market version and I couldn't get it to stream over LTE. It just pauses. Over WiFi its fine.

So I wonder if Pandora thinks its outside of the US since I'm on an international ROM lol. I'm gonna flash a i9505 ROM real quick and test that pandora patcher out.

Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] orateam:
Not too worried about that kind of thief. Any thief that Knowledgeable about Android typically wants the phone for himself and couldn't care about your data. Truth is even with a pin, if a super thief gets your phone, the first thing going he'll do is take out your sdcard. Once he puts it in his pc, he'll have forever to see your pics and hack your accounts. So I still recommend the device manager to send a quick format to your phone.

Are you guys (that are flashing GoldenEye 26) using the LTE Fix that is in the GE thread? Or does this patch take care of any LTE issues? Hard to imagine after all my years modding, but this is my first time flashing an international rom on my S4.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] sigmaxaa:
I flashed the ROM then the patch and got LTE almost instantly. If it matters, I also flashed KT's 4.4 TW kernel as well, right after the patch, so not sure if that will matter.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] TeH PLAYA:
I cannot for the life of me get Pandora to stream over LTE. Lol. I flashed the stock kernel from the v11 patch, installed Pandora 5.0 and found that Pandora patcher 2.6. It just pauses over LTE and doesn't play.

It'll stream over WiFi no problems. Wtf is going on. This is on Omega v26 BTW. Gotta be a network setting.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] thesoldier:
Just flashed GoldenEye 26 with V11. LTE is great. Didn't have to flash anything else.

I followed jrkruse's instructions earlier in relation to the GPS problems. Flashed stock MK2 ROM with MDK modem+nonhlos.bin and got a lock, then flashed GE 26 with V11, and now all is good. The only thing is that "roaming indicator off" has returned, but who cares. My GPS works again! Thanks again jrkruse.

Anyone have a link for team blackout Pandora?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
I was searching for an issue for that as well yesterday. I went so far as to accidentally dialing *228 to try and solve the issue and ruining my SIM card. DO NOT DO THAT! Verizon luckily replaced it for free though. I ended up discovering jrkruse mentioning in this thread that the error is present because of the method he used to get voice and data working simultaneously. The "fix" for me was to use the Wanam Xposed module, which I used to just leave those areas completely blank on the lock screen and notification shade. Really gives it a clean look.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] orateam:
But that would force me to have to use that password on screenlock, which i'm avoiding. It's ok. Barring extreme situations, I'm covered with ADM.

In 99% of those cases it's simply a matter of dishonest person simply wanting to keep your nice phone.

1)If they are super hackers, they'll immediately remove your simcard and sd card and look to gain access. If you have password set along with encryption, you're safe. If you don't encrypt the SD card, they can scan your SD card for a password or cookies.

2)if they are super thieves, the best they can hope for is they have the same carrier and can swap out chips before i push ADM to lock and erase. Password only people here are not protected.

3)if they are normal thieves (99%) , they'll turn off the phone if you have a lock with password. if you don't, like me, they'll keep it on, snooping. I then will track it via GPS in ADM and find them and kick their AXX and get my phone back.

Downloading that file can be a pain in the butt because you need that "MEGA" app but it does work, for me anyway. Remember to do a NAND backup just in case.

ALSO, I found some S5 apps that seem to be working with 4.4 KitKat ROMs. I've only tried the new S Planner so far, but it works perfectly. You just download the apps you want and install them like a standard .apk file. If you don't like it, you can simply uninstall it back to the factory version:

I'm getting a "Refreshing SIM data" toast message and it's driving me f*cking crazy. It resets quite a few things on the phone. I've pulled the SIM card and battery for a few minutes and that didn't work so then I did a factory reset and restored a known good NAND backup and it's still there. Any ideas?

Edit: I found this regarding the Galaxy Note 2:

"It is doing that as it is searching for networks/towers, we are currently doing upgrades on towers in your area and you may notice your phone going from No Service to 3G or 4G and Refreshing Sim Data periodically during this period."

So it might just be a local area thing. I am out of town currently but am heading back this evening. I'll keep anyone who cares posted.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Velocifero:
A couple hours after I posted that, I fixed it and it's been stable since...for now. It's hard to explain how it happened. The phone just kinda seemed to "fall off" the Verizon network and land in a strange in zone between the hardware it was on and the software/network it was meant to be on, T-mobile. It seemed it really wanted to go back to GSM. It was seemingly stuck on the GSM network, which explains the weird roaming icon and nothing but data working. How do I know this? Well...

While all this was going on, the Settings>More settings under Wireless and networks>Mobile settings menu had a bunch of extra features, such as the ability to choose GSM over CDMA/LTE and even T-mobile over Verizon! Well the option selected and seemingly locked into was GSM/WCDMA. As we know, this ROM doesn't have an option to choose a between network types, i.e. Global vs. CDMA/LTE, etc. so you could imagine my surprise to see these extra options. Choosing the appropriate options however did not fix the issue.

What ended up fixing the issue was restoring a different ROM entirely, Eclipse 3.0 to be precise, going into the Mobile settings menu, and choosing CDMA/LTE. Doing this, made my SIM card talk to the Verizon network again and texts and calls started working. I had a feeling the SIM would stay connected if I restored another ROM so I restored GoldenEye again and sure as sh*t everything is working as it should....for now.
