[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] timekillerj:
I am having a weird issue with my S4 running any Rom past 4.2. When I make a call, the signal indicator changes to the circle with a line through it. The call stays connected, but no data transfer is possible. Any attempt to access the internet results in an error. But the call stays connected just fine. Once I end the call the signal eventually comes back and I can use the phone as normal. If I try to make a call before the signal comes back I get an error (even though I was just on the phone). Rebooting the phone seems to make the signal come back faster.

Any 4.2 rom does not have this issue.

Anyone have any ideas?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] timekillerj:
Somehow the new baseband has made things MUCH worse. The phone is completely unusable now. It is EXTREMELY laggy. no sounds from screen touches at all. It didn't even do the t-mobile jingle on boot. When I try to make a phone call, the other phone rings before the S4 leaves the "dialing" screen. Talking doesn't work, no voice gets through in either direction. I would never expect this from a modem flash.

I can confirm on the about screen the new baseband is M919UVUFNB4

I tried wiping the phone, thinking somehow it needed to "start fresh" with the new modem. That did not help. Then I tried reflashing Fenny's 4.4.2 Stock ROM (same rom I was running before). Nothing helps.

What the heck is going on?!?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] Kriptik210:
What all did you do?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] elesbb:
Sounds like you installed the NB4 LTE modem as well. (NON-HLOS) i think is the name. You only need to instal the actual modem as the LTE modem will do exactly what you are experiencing :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S 4] timekillerj:
You are exactly right. The modem tarball I downloaded had both, so I flashed both (woops!). I just finally got myself sorted out. Had to flash back to factory 4.2, re-root, install TWRP, re-flash 4.4.2, then flash the modem.bin (several times before it took). But! All my problems are resolved.

Thanks for the help guys.

Flashed the modem previously linked in this thread, and Fenny's 4.4.2 stock rooted rom. Can't really compare battery/signal because I just flashed it, and it's my wife's phone. She got it when I got the S5 :)

It was evident from very early on that the K-Jam was under powered. I would assume that this upgrade is sufficiently powerful to not be affected by the same flaws.

Anyone out there placed to give a comparison? Does the TyTn hang? Need for Soft Reset or Hard Reset? Anyone tried TomTom? Anyone tried doing 3 things at once with it? How much better is it? Did any of you actually experience the problems with the K-Jam I did? How does the speed compare to the JasJar? I am umming and ahhing over the TyTn and P990i, a tough choice ahead.

Please make any other points you feel relevant.

Many thanks

I have a wizard. The tytn looks nice, I would buy it in a snap over the 990 if I didn't have a wizard.

Reasons I'm not getting it:

1) my keyboard is nicer on the wizard

2) I have 7GB of MiniSD (TyTn is microsd)

3) Tytn has one speaker on the back instead of 2 stereo on the sides

Price, I got my Wizard (Cingular 8125) for 400 dollars, vs. paying 800 for a TyTN....
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] macrinus:
Clearly I'd say the best device is the Universal, nevertheless being a proud owner of a TyTN, considering all features and form-factor I'd say this is the device to get. Of course if you don't mind the size the Universal is clearly superior, the comparison between TyTN and Wizard is more likely to give you second thougths. Much faster, equally good battery and UMTS are in favor of the TyTN. The price is clearly on Wizard's side, but since you can find the TyTN for 690 Euros here in Portugal I would definitely recommend it.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] goestoeleven:
Although the Universal may be the best overall device, as it does not have US UMTS/HSDPA frequencies, it's really a non-issue here... Go with the TyTN.

Try Odin flashing the CF-AutoRoot TAR file again, it should work fine,

After flashing with odin you need to flash custom recovery like twrp or cwm.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] chumboy:
I currently have a Note 2, unlocked bootloader, alliance rom.

if I were to buy an S5, can I just move the Note's SIM card to the S5 and it would work?

Or does one of the talking heads at the Verizon store have to "activate" the S5?

I'd love to have 2-3 phones where I move the SIM card between them depending on how I feel each day.

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niksssss:
Hey guys. Tomorrow I am going to buy a new phone and I am deciding between S5 and Note 3. I was going to buy the Note 3 when I just notice that In my countru the price of the Note 3 and S5 is absolutely Identical (32GB Note 3 and 16GB S5). So is the screen on the S5 really better or there isn't a big difference and how is the battery life on the both devices ? Is the Camera on the S5 better in low light or its the same as the note 3 ? Is the Speaker in the S5 better ?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drakester09:
From seeing both at my cellphone carrier's store:

- Note 3 has better speakers, must be because IP67 in S5.

- Screen is better, smaller looks sharper and definitely brighter.

- Can't tell about battery life, haven't had a Note 3 for much time. Reviewers put them in nearly equal terms with slight advantage to the S5 (AnandTech).

- Camera is good, but low light is a weakness... so they most likely are in the same ground. None has OIS.

- Both seem to have poor memory management, Note 3 has 3 GB of RAM though but S5 has newer, faster chipset.

I picked the S5 because of the more recent stock software (Touchwiz in S5 is quite better than the previous iteration IMHO) and the form factor, try them both if possible. The decision is more if you want a phablet or a normal factor.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
For latest and 2014 software features and latest hardware go for s5. If u need pen phone and big screen then note 3, but I think note 3 is getting old as it is late 2013 phone. Note 4 is coming with more than s5 soon on September.

So you can wait for it too..
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niksssss:
I was going to buy the S5 yesterday but I saw its back and it looks just awful and the phone feels like a cheap Chinese copy of a real samsung phone. The note 3 feels a bit better (the plastic actually feels like leather) and I like its looks a lot better. But then comes the Software and Hardware that is a lot better on the S5. I am really confused right now :D
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
I own both. Personally I much, much prefer the Note 3.

First some advice.

If you've got a few months left to wait, wait to see what the Note 4 is going to be. 1st week of September is when it'll be announced, should start selling early october. Also, the S5 Prime with top-specs is expected somewhere in the middle of the year. Wait for that, if you can. The current S5 is a joke.

So...

The camera on the S5 is a little better, it's IP67 and the colours on the screen are prettier. But that's about it.

The Note has a bigger screen. Yes, the S5 had a more saturated screen, but in my opinion bigger is more useful. Particularly for entertainment or multitasking.

The additional 16GB of internal storage is very, very relevant. 4.4.2 breaks moving apps to the SDcard, so you'll need it (unless you root, which breaks KNOX)

More RAM. 2GB vs 3GB. I know there are some who say "You don't need 2GB(It's actually less than that)". You do. The S5 has some horrendous lag, and the memory runs full very, very quickly.

The S5 has a slightly faster CPU (2.3Ghz vs 2.5Ghz), but the RAM is such a bottleneck that you barely notice the increase in speed. I can't for the life of me figure out why they would use only 2GB.

The Spen. Even if you're not a pen user, it comes with some nifty tools. Particularly the Pen Window is very useful, as it enables you to answer messages without switching away from your film or game. The pen also enables you to use your phone when eating, because you don't have to worry about greasy fingers on the screen.

The camera on the Note 3 is rather crap in low light. And I'm putting that nicely. It looks like an oil painting. The S5 has a slightly bigger sensor, making it a little better in low light.

And then there's the design. I can't help it, the S5 looks to me like something you buy as a toy for your 5 year old niece. It just looks so cheap. (particularly the White one..) At least the Note 3 looks like it costs 700 euro(releaseprice)...

Unless you're a fitness buff, I don't see the point of all those health gimmicks. There are functional heartrate apps that use the flashlight on the Note 3 and match the results of an actualy monitor besides it.

I do have to say the S5 is a little better at surviving drops and bumps. It can handle a bit more rough treatment. The Note 3 is fairly fragile by comparison. So if you lead an active lifestyle or are clumsy, and you don't want a case, an S5 might be a better idea.

All in all, I'd go with the Note 3 anyday. Bu tthat's my personal choice. :)
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niksssss:
Thanks for the reply. I am going to see them both at my local store and choose then. Also the S5 is kind of hard to find in my country.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
Yes I agree that s5 feels cheap. But I think in mobile business no one company is perfect. Every company have their bad side and their popularity side.

S5 / Samsung don't concentrate on design, but Samsung software is really smart and mostly people like it. Its rich in features like hell.

Like I said every company have down and good side. In mobile business that is the main thing..

HTC and make premium design but simple software. But difference is HTC mostly good in sound music and simplycity but Sony good for camera. So depends upon you. That is business.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShadowLea:
A good point, but a bit of a moot one, since the choice is between the Samsung Note 3 and the Samsung S5... ;)

[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niksssss:
The problem is that I cant wait. My HTC One broke and now I am using this - http://i-cdn.phonearena.com/images/phones/30779-xlarge/Nokia-100-3.jpg And I need my phone... not just for games and facebook, but for school. It helps me out a lot. And also phones in my country come a bit late. You can barely find S5 and its been a month since its release.

Also i checked both of the phones in the local store and I am in a even bigger dilemma now :D I see how the S-pen can come useful, but I find the note 3 a bit big for everyday use. Also The S5 seems kind of slow.. I dont know why but it even seems slower than my HTC One. The camera need a lot of time to open photos after I took them and usually this drives me crazy...

The things most important to me are:

1. Performance

2. Battery

3. Camera

My one usually did the job with the battery and the performance but the camera wasn't what I expected. It takes great shots but 4MP isnt enough for zooming and I often need to zoom my photos to read some text or other...
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crohit911:

Hmmm... If you have issues with your own "size", go with the note 3, just as you did when you got the big screen and truck. Or if you're a "size queen" as they're called, go for a note 3. But if you like the finger print gimmick, I pretty much do, or like me sometimes find yourself on hallucinogenic escapades that take you at times in the rain, shower/bath or under waterfalls, the ip6 whatever the rest of it is, will come in handy. Man, everyone talking about the lag, I sure wish I didn't agree. There must be a solution. Off to another sub forum. I want to find the solution. Chime in if any of you know of a rom/trick that speeds this phone up.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niksssss:
Guys. Thanks for the info but I already got the S5. I got it becouse it's a bit smaller device and the Note 3's camera in low light is alful. Also note 3 has 13MP but you can use the camera in 16:9 aspect ratio only on 10MP. On the S5 the 16MP are 16:9. I will miss the s-pen but thats the only thing that I will miss. I also got the s5 becouse I think that it will recieve faster updates. I find the S5 a bit slow (even slower than my one) and also not a big fan of touchwiz. (I didnt think that I will miss sense so much) But overall im happy with the S5 becouse the battery lasts more than twice than my old HTC one and the battery was the most important thing to me.
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mandeep148:
So s5 is better to go,according to you? How's performance, I heard that its lagging phone? Is that true?
[Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niksssss:
Its down to your own choice. The note 3 was just a bit large for my taste. S5 is the perfect size for me. The camera is definitely better especially in low light. (My one had a lot better low light performance but again i prefer the S5's camera as it's 16MP not 4MP). 2GB Ram are definitely not enough for this phone (I have around 500-600MB free when I close all apps) but I don't know if this bottlenecks the phone. The phone doesn't lag but its slow. Its just a slow device for a 2.5GHz Quad Core monster (as I said my one year old HTC One was faster) but this is software (touchj*zz) and it can be fixed or replaced (CyanogenMod I guess ?) The camera app is slow as sh*t. It drives me crazy it loads 3 seconds and when I want to view the picture that I have taken it freezes and loads for another 3 seconds. Again this is software and it can be fixed and on Note 3 it wasn't so much better. (the camera was a bit faster but still I find it a bit slow for my taste). So in the end of the day you still have to choose - Better camera, newer software (with faster updates I hope), and a better display (Yes, the display is a bit brighter and I think its a bit better overall, maybe becouse its smaller and it has better pixel density) or S-Pen, More Ram and bigger display.

P.S.: Also the faces of your friends when you start to wash your brand new S5 in the sink is priceless :laugh: (none of my friend thought that it was waterproof).

It's not in power saving mode. Am just saying that compared side by side with an xperia my s5 is laggy in RR3. As the Sony has lesser hardware I can only assume the reason is heavy Samsung software.
