Hello,

On the English ROM, when you're writing words like "i" or "il" using the QWERTY keyboard, the system automatically change such words in "I" and "I'll".

Do you know how can I disable such behavior? I usually write text in Italian language, so it's not nice stuff... :(

Thanks!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] pof:
Go to Settings -> Personal -> Input -> Word Completion

Uncheck "Replace text as you type"

That should disable it ;)

Hi all,

Although i'm new to posting to this forum, i'm reading it for about a year now, but couln't find a topic in which my problem with the Galaxy S4 mini is covered.. ;)

I got this phone for about a week now, and overall i like it al lot. I just got i rooted 1 day now because i wanted to put back some apps from my old HTC Desire, and wanted to have root acces anyway.

However i'm experiencing some network drops since i got the phone, which means that i can't call, and internet wont work. When i restart the phone (or switch on/off airplane mode) the problem is solved for a while..but it comes back again now and then..very frustrating cause i feels unreliable. This was also happening a few times before i rooted.

It's probably not due to the sim-card, because i never experienced some problem like this in my old phone with the same sim..

Does anybody know how i could solve this problem ?

Thanx a lot.

You could update the baseband: I9195 is here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2545784

I'm not sure if it'll knox it up, but usually it shouldn't
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mascarponi:
Thanks for your reply, but when checking my phone-info it says already 'baseband version I9195XXUBNB3' which is the baseband from the topic i believe..is that the latest one?

Next to that,, I already knoxed it up, cause i flashed CWM yesterday..

I have experienced same thing, tried different official firmwares, also some unofficial tw, and cm roms, happens time to time, usually fix this by selecting my network operator again.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mascarponi:
I read on other forums that some other users are experiencing indeed the same problem..for me it happened a couple of times a day in the beginning. Then in my 'sim-menu' app i switched from 'manual sim-selection' to 'automatic sim-selection' .. it looked like this helps a bit, but i recently experienced the network drop again, so the problem is still not gone..

You can regain network again by switching on/off, but if you're phone is in your pocket you don't know if network suddenly got lost, so i think it's a quiet unreliable phone for now..:(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aronuser:
Thats the latest baseband, but there is another in the topic too, you could try the other one too :good:

also

if you already knoxed it up you could flash the latest firmware from www.sammobile.com and check if it does the trick (if you don't have the latest already)

---------- Post added at 11:20 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:17 PM ----------

Yet another thing is:

Get the app "service mode shurtcut" https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kabasoft.util.servicemodeshortcut&hl=de

Go into the "test" menu

and select "telephone information"

then select a different network type (not sure which, just try it)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mascarponi:
I believe i'm already at the latest firmware..i updated OTA yesterday before i rooted my device, and i seems that i got the same build as from the latest version from the sammobile website..

I tried the ServiceMode Shortcut, but when trying to open the app it says 'not supported' :confused:

Also, when trying to change network-modus, i only can choose : GSM/ WCDMA (automatic) , GSM Only, WCDMA only...there is no 4G option , isn't that strange ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aronuser:
if you like you could just flash cyanogenmod and see if there is a difference!?

/edit:

then you could try accessing that menu again too :good:

---------- Post added at 11:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:52 PM ----------

OR

you could reflash stock, maybe there was a failure when updating?!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mascarponi:
I maybe will try Cyanomod...but i am not sure yet, cause i think it should work proper just out of the box..and cyanomod still got some bugs right ? I didn't quiet changed a lot on the device yet, got i for less than one week for now...also got no errors of failures when updating or so.. :S
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aronuser:
yeah if you flash cyanogenmod you maybe end up bricking it, but a brick can usually be solved

um... yeah it should work out of the box, maybe the hardware is damaged too!? :rolleyes:

If you still consider flashing cyanogenmod one day and wanna stay on a fairly safe site, then use a "stable version" :good:

i'm using a nightly now, and so far it works pretty pretty fine, just 2 crashes in a app but it worked again after retrieng it

---------- Post added at 12:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 AM ----------

since you got the network issues since you have the phone,

it's most likely hardware demage :rolleyes:

Today i restarted my phone cause at night battery runned low..when booted up i connects with the gsm-network, although data-connection won't start. So i CAN call phone-numbers, but can't browse the internet .. when turning on/off airplane mode it reconnects to the internet-connection again.. :eek:

You mentioned when installing CM i may end up bricking the phone..why is that ? Isn't it just as easy as flashing a new rom via CWM ?

And then, which CM rom would you suggest ? 10.2 of 11 ?

I have this same problem with my not-rooted S4 mini [SGHi257M Rogers Canada]. I have had the phone since early December last year. The problem started recently [perhaps a month ago?]. I returned the phone for repair about a week ago. I should have it back within the next week or so. I'll post here when i get it back, especially if it comes back with any useful info.

Hey Mdawdy, thanks for your information, it looks like it's indeed like the same problem !

I'm looking forward to hear if the problem still exists when you receive your phone back from repair, and what they say the problem was..

Unfortunately i'm already rooted, so i probably can't send it back to repair because I voided the warranty :( , or is it still possible somehow ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aronuser:
Rooting doesn't especially mean that you've KNOX, i think it's only really warranty void if it has KNOX 0x1.

Enter Download mode to see if it has KNOX 0x1 or not (good would be 0x0)

/edit:

also if you live in the EU, i heard that even a knox'ed up device still has warranty
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mascarponi:
Already checked , and i indeed knox'ed up my device, 0x1 it is, and had to remove 3 KNOX apps from system because i got messages like "attempted to access your system on your device without authorisation" ..

But i live in EU so i might be lucky if you're right..will check on that.

Got one network drop today again. When the phone-battery was emty, i started to charge, then booted the phone...in the 10 minutes after booted up, tried to send a sms but couln't be sended because phone wasn't connected to the network..

Maybe i got something to do with charging the phone at the same time .. ? Just thinking out loud...

Other question..when checking the menu for selecting 2g/3g WDCMA auto..i can't find an option for using 4G ,,however the phone says it should support this. Can only choose from3 options: GSM/WCDMA (auto) , GSM, WCDMA. Is this correct ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mascarponi:
Thanks for your information !

Seems indeed they didn't do a lot you couldnt do yourself ...

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mascarponi:
hahah i always think too complicated ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mascarponi:
Okay, really sounds like a hardware-problem then..how often did you get the 'network-drops' this week?

I experienced it maybe 2 or 3 times this week, mostly when i was doing things on my phone, or charging it..so maybe there's some connection between the cpu getting stressed and the network dropouts ?

I'm planning on switching to CM10.2 .. don't know if it will make some difference (probably not if its a hardware problem), but wanted to check that ROM anyway..

other question:

Did you rooted you're phone ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdawdy:
I have not rooted my phone.

I am getting the network drops when the battery runs down, currently to 20%. When i took it in for repair the first time it would happen at 35% to 45%. I have not taken it back in yet for various reasons but i expect to soon.

I am wondering if the network drops are to be expected when 20% is reached? How low should the battery level go and still result in good behavior from the phone?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mascarponi:
Hey guys,

I'm planning on installing CM10.2 stable on my galaxy s4 mini, to check if the network-dropout problem still occurs..and because i'd like CM better anyway. But before doing this i got a question about the KNOX- flag on my phone..

I already rooted my phone and installed CWM... the KNOX flag is triggerd 0x1.

Can i just install CM from the menu in CWM like in most descriptions ? Or is KNOX going to give me troubles?

On another website I red this, and now i'm a little bit confused :

By downgrading from KNOX-enabled to KNOX-disabled firmware, your device will be locked to installation of newer firmwares.

Keep the above statement in mind all the time whenever you decide to flash a stock rom. Be careful not to flash a firmware that doesn't have KNOX.

CM10 probably got no KNOX right ? Am i still able to install this ROM ? And is it possible to go back to stock rom just in case i need to get it back to the shop for maintenance?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdawdy:
I may have the solution to this problem of network drops now, finally. I took it back to the Rogers store where i bought it. This time there was a more knowledgeable guy there. He took one look at the screen and said "I know exactly what is the problem". What he noticed was that the LTE notification was not showing. This city is an LTE hot spot. The phone should connect with LTE virtually anywhere, anytime. He said it is not the phone at all, but that there is a "switch" that needs to be reset for my account; something to do with the SIM card. After a couple of phone calls he returned the phone and said that it is fixed.

Time will tell. I'll post again.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikle85:
I have changed mobile provider and the probem come with it(havent got it before). i get a notification that the sim is not registered and i need to reboot to get signal again (and there is a reboot button there) its quite annoying.

it says: "Sim card removed

The mobile network wont be available untill you reboot your phone with a valid sim card."

only thing i can do is reboot.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mascarponi:
On my G4mini is also the LTE notification not showing..but my provider doesn't provides 4G yet i believe..next to that i'm using an old simcard (probably 3 years old)..could it be possible that older simcards don't support 4G ?

When checking the phone-menu for network settings, i can only choose between GSM/WCDMA , or both..is that correct ?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mdawdy:
Sorry i cannot answer this question. Just reporting that the so-called knowledgeable guy was incorrect. Still dropping the networks. I went back and he was incorrect again as he believed that you had to have Mobile Data enabled to make/receive calls. Oh well, he was doing his best. Got thru today so far with no dropouts. Will see what happens overnight and tomorrow.

Getting kind of tired of having an unreliable device. Hope this gets settled soon. I'll be back to him as soon as it drops out again.

I've been using my phone without problems for a few weeks now. The only thing i did or did not is to quit playing the online game i played. Then today i was about to find an address with google navigation and on my way i had the same message again with the only restart option. Pretty annoying i nearly threw this piece of sh*t out from the car. when you on new ground without navigation in the 21st century that's sucks :D

anyway, my phone never or rarely shows 4g i rather have H+ all the time. So what if the problem occurs when it try to switch over to 4g when you use some apps requires more data download? my problem is 99% sure app and data usage related. since i never have the problem randomly in my pocket or if i dont use internet. thing is i dont know how to find out if its a hardware or a sim/network provider issue
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikle85:
Right today i tested this to make sure. i used google maps navigation and the phone showed 4g(usually only get H+). 1-2 mins and the sim card got lost. only option is to restart. if i restart it instantly after reboot i still wont have network even after 2-3 or 4 attempts. so i just switched it off and turned back on 10mins later to get back the signal. i think it triggers something at provider i will see them in shop.

I had a new simcard. after a week it seems fine, not had the problem ever since.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mascarponi:
Because i was still experiencing these network dropouts now and then, in the end i sended the phone back to the customer-support from my networkprovider. They checked it with their repair department.

I put a note along with the phone, describing the problem and the things i had tried to fix it.

What i tried was this:

- Factory Reset

- All software updated to newest versions

- Switched to 'Manual' in the 'SIM-menu app' from my provider. (Setting it to 'manually sim-selection'.)

- Provider switched me off/on on their network.

- Tried simcard in another phone, which works perfectly without signal dropouts.

None of the above worked for me to fix the problem.

When i got my phone back, i didn't receive any note with it what they changed or did with it.

Only thing i noticed was that it was changed back to factory settings, they UNROOTED the phone, and put back the stock recovery (i was using CWM). Also the text "set warranty bit kernel" , which i got when booting the phone, was gone. However it was still KNOX 0x1.

Unfortunately, the first day i used it, again i got the same problem. At a sudden moment the phone looses network, and isn't getting it back by itself. Only rebooting or switching on/off to airplane mode will get the network back again.

When again searching for the problem on the web, it seems like it's a problem with al lot of galaxies series. It seems that the phone loses the network when you're in a environment with bad reception, and once when network is lost, it won't connect again.

From what i read it is probably some software error...

Anybody anymore advice how to fix this ? Really drives me crazy, cause all the rest of the phone is working fine. :crying:

I checked your first link. The posters there say that the problem was resolved by the updates to KK 4.4 and the update to the firmware. I have both of these updates. Neither solved the problem.

My phone has never "dropped" a call. Just occasionally stops making or receiving them.

My phone has lost the network connections [both calls and mobile data] while i am in a

very strong

LTE area.

Other users are posting that once the signal is lost/falls in the dead spot region, it doesn't come back a automatically. I have not had that experience. I often go to a dead region and when i come out the signal does not get lost, no need to re-start the phone.

Seems like others have a similar issue but not the same.

Ok, a couple of months went on, and the problem still exists..

Turned my phone in to customer service (repair-service) for the second time, and when i got the phone back after 3 weeks , the first day i started using it, the (network) connection drops again..

In the meantime I upgraded my phone software from Android 4.2.2 to 4.4.2, hoping this would fix some things without rooting the phone (and changing ROM), unfortunately it did nothing. Also with 4.4.2 I got the network drops again. So i called my provider again (10th time) , which is TELE2 NL, and they said that recently a lot of customers, using the galaxy s4mini, are complaining about this kind of network problem. They said they contacted Samsung about it, and Samsung told them that the problem was probably due to the combination of Samsung firmware together with the TELE2 network....they also said samsung was working on a fix.

Now my question: when i install another ROM (Knox warranty is already voided) , like cyanogenmod , most likely fix this problem for me , or will the problem still exists ?

Cause when upgrading from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2, the problem still remains. In other words, in what part of the software from the phone is this network dropping problem probably based ?

Thanks in Advance.

Can you maybe specifik the word 'firmware' for this case ? i mean i know what firmware means but when changing the ROM on my phone, am i not changing the firmware ?

What part from the phone is called the firmware then ? Modem/baseband, kernel, ROM, or the samsung software part in the ROM maybe ? In case of this last one, changing to for example cyanogenmod could maybe solve the problem, right ?
