[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
Most definitely. Lete Know if u can get APN backup restore to work...I convert it to system apk with titanium backup, 15 min later is still going so I reset phone..its now a system app, move to priv-app and it force closes, move it back to app and it loads up but no permission to load apns.

-73 dbm signal kitkat

-103 dbm lollipop lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
i got apns working and stuff. and with dbm, im not sure which ones better lol? ive never looked into it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
maybe it was the rom? Or me, idk I always have these stupid problems lmfao.

I could not get it to work for the life of me so I restored my modded stock kk rom back up.

I had a bar, sometimes two less on lollipop then on kitkat sitting in the same spot in my appartment I always do.

How do you like lollipop?

It's two white for me, black and chrome ftw lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
It's pretty cool so far. Read that Xposed lollipop is incompatible with Samsung tho lol. I want my button remap :( I always remap home key to menu long press home for recents. Other than that, seems ok. Battery isn't superb tho. Might go back to Kk until OptimalROM lp release, but might stay on it to get used to lp. It idles pretty well, but not as good as Kk. Uses more ram, getting less screen on time. I like it, it's just different.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Done anything today? I'm still on lp trying to figure out same telephony issue I had on Kk. Method to fix isn't working lol :(
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
No i did not, Idk so when I ran extreme syndicate seemed alright, it didn't drop much for me installing apps and surfing the Web n whatnot... but I didn't really test it long enough to make sure. Which kernel did u use? I was on KT 2-11 build and it seemed smooth minus the fact I couldn't get apns to restore which is why I left it to return to kk. What telephony issues you having?

I'm waiting for either optimal or for the Verizon lp patches so I can run the sickness's version unless I get bored and try to play around again. I'm a big fan of t mobile version roms for some reason, seem to have the best luck with them personally
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
KT 2/16. Doesn't show dl link but if you ota with ktweaker. I had no problems with restoring apps with new titanium backup (new play store version and then patch with lucky patcher to get the pro version) . Just restore slow. Got apns fine. Issue I'm having with telephony issue is that if I lose 4g signal and go back to 4g area it can't connect, just sticks on 1x and I have to reboot. To fix I had to remove the csc folder on OptimalROM. Doing that didn't change anything on lp, trying something else atm, waiting for 4g to drop to test tho. Try jrkruse rom with his mods zip, and then he has a debloat script too at the bottom of post. It's running well.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
Hmm...well I read t mobile users are jumping back and forth between kk and lp so not having official lp for our devices shouldn't matter.. I have no areas around here that I do not get 4g..like I have no idea where I don't get it actually lol. Does disabling mobile data for a set amount of time then turning it back on cause the issue too because if so I could help ya but other than that I couldn't bc I get 4g everywhere here lol I may just try that rom out though, next day or two
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Easiest way to see is to turn on air plane mode for a moment and back off (do it 2-3 times) , see if it kicks back on 4g or sit there on 1x or no data connection. Reboot fixes. Here the terrain is so up and down there are alot of low spots 4g cuts out so like if I'm driving I lose it briefly. Bluegrass has a bigger coverage area than thumb tho I think
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
Sure buddy maybe I'll play around before work, seen a new team ub update that I may try first though. Our service area is rather small, and hardly any hills really, there are a few spots that have iffy service but normally I don't go bellow 2 bars...most of the time I have 3 + which is nice. Actually it sounds like the old alliance version by beans. If I turned my Internet off for an extended period of time I'd lose all mobile data, have to turn it on and restart for it to work again..had to do that everytime. I'll check it out though sometime within the next 12 hours or so since I work 9 hours a day :/

Edit..

Guess what?!?! Newest UB cm12 has working calling, ayleast on their stock kernel never tried ktoonsez. Incoming and outgoing work...just trying to get APN backup to convert to a system app....going on 5 minutes now :/
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Just manually push apk it to system/privapp and set permissions. Also I think I might have figured it out for telephony issues. I disabled volte service in com.sec.ims with disable service app and rebooted and toggled AirplaneMode a few times and LTE comes right back, it did not before. Hoping it did the trick, will report back if it didn't work lol.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
That makes a lot of sense actually i forgot Verizon has volte and since we don't I could see that it would cause issues ! I think that'll work....today is a great day lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Everything seems to be working great. I'm digging lp, even without Xposed it's running well.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
Atleast one of us are happy I restored apns couldn't send picture messages so I switched back to kk cuz I need it 100 perdent working while I'm at work
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
I can send mms on wifi and mobile data, did you remember to delete current apns then restore? I'm having no problem with apn settings
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
I only tried try cm12 ub version. Gonna do the tw after work. How's battery life?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
I guess about the same as I had been getting on my ktoonsez profile.. Been unplugged about 3 hours, 1 hr 40 SoT, 81% left. Once you got your rom settled, you'd probably see the same as you were getting with whatever profile you were using.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
Gotya, just switched to the two lp rom. Had everything working on cm12 except being able to send mms, could receive them, then I reset the phone a couple times and it switched to GSM and didn't want to get lte even when I switched to CDMA so I gave up. I'll give this a chance for a while I guess

Edit...

Still got those telephony issues? I went and disabled volte restarted and when I turn on airplane mode and then turn it off I can't get any data til I restart the phone.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
What lp rom?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
Jr Kruse stock rom

Do u still have telephony issues? Turning airplane mode on and off causes no data for me...only way to fix is restarting the phone and I turned off both volte services in the disable services app
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Look at screenshot. Download galaxy tools app it's on XDA. http://xdaforums.com/note-3-sprint/themes-apps/app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159

Then at the top where you see mps and sales code set both to "LRA" (leave bottom one blank) and reboot and try the tests again. Did you build prop edit those lines in also btw? Let me know if that helps any I've had no issues since I did all that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
I just went back to UB cm12 to try and sort issues, I ran it for half the day and just love it. I am thinking of asking him how much to make a carrier specific version for us LRA guys, or a thumb cell build if he'd have to do it that way, idk if it would matter. Like I'm willing to pay because I love the way it looks and runs. I have learned it likes the stock kernel running ktoonsez for some reason causes it to go all wonkey. When I switch back to tw lp I'll try and report back. Do apprichiate the info tho
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Wouldn't need a carrier specific build, just lra build it's all one model. I'm good on TW lol. Does mms not even work with 8sms or whatever?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
I may ask him regardless, never know maybe someone will pop in here who is interested also. But idk if he would but id pay for a working cm12 ROM for this phone lol.

After running this then going to tw I notice lag that I never noticed before, all personal opinion though.

I tried 8sms and also textra. Added my info like we talked about on page 20 of our thread. I feel the phone, despite being on my network, still thinks is a verizon phone. I say that because when I try to send a message on the stock texting app it says "invalid destination address" all the others just fail. But I had my gf send me random pics and both went thru, I received and downloaded them. Its 95% working. I just can't find out why on Google besides APN info which is all correct which is the most common thing I've come across for the error.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
not sure then man
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
How tw lp treating ya? Better battery then kk, smoother? Now that its settled more?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Battery roughly the same, maybe a bit worse but nothing too bad, I'm using my mild performance oriented profile and I think my battery health wise is going South too. 2 hr 45 mins screen on time 54% left. Definitely smoother (to me) and I like the experience of the ui better. Animations are nice. Overall I'm pleased. I'm waiting for OptimalROM lollipop tho. This is a a good start as is
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
Good, I'm with ya once optimal loli hits I may switch back to touchwiz but since I hardly ever send pics I'm rocking cm12, newest KT kernel works on it..only thing that doesnt work and I can deal with that right now. Xposed works on it which is great, had a couple wakelocks that needed to be shown who is in control lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
That's good it's working, odd thing to be not working tho
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
So xposef for lollipop won't work BC of tw you were saying?

N I messaged the creator of the ROM today but haven't heard from 'em
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Yeah no Xposed for Samsung lollipop yet. Samsung used a different file format that bootloops with Xposed so the dev is trying to work around it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
That sucks, the dev of xposed did great though, months ago lollipop n xposed was a pipe dream and look where we are now.

BTW I seen your post on jrkruse ROM thread, how's your signal? Basically cell standby means the phone is trying to find a better signal so the more its searching the higher cell standby will be and I've noticed signal is slightly lower on lp compared to kk.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
My signal is same as before bar wise. 5 at work, 2-3 at home but on wifi. On Google it's a big issue apparently.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
See on tw lp I had a bar sometimes two less then on kk. Not on cm12 though. I actually have had the lowest cell standby ever at 2% on 15 hours since charging compared to it being top 5 which was normal on kk for me atleast.

Google play +services and android system and os r kicking my @$$ though. Working on those right now...just a but load of syncs and alarms. Pita I tell ya lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Mines exactly the same to me. I still get fluctuations in my bars from living in the woods, 2-3 bars LTE. Still drops out in the same low spots on the way to work, still 4-5 bars where I work. Having no difference signal wise. The signal strength numbers seems slightly different but not noticing anything out of the ordinary. Maybe that will change when we get a lollipop ota for a lp baseband. Might have something to do with it
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
I called Samsung about an upgrade for us recently, couldn't get any info from them. Didn't know a thing unfortunately..same with my carrier when I paid my bill last week..figured but worth a shot. I'm going to guess march or April we should see a buggy lp version for us lol
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
As an s5 it's pretty much guaranteed q1 of the year to get it. I think it'll be sometime next month. I'm good as is with the ability to even boot a lp rom on a kk bootloader/modem, more than I expected lol. I check sammobile daily to see if any firmware released so I'll find it as soon as the odin package is released. I'm not gonna bother flashing to stock to update check and then flash back.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
BigBot said on his thread he's going to some treatment center for his health issues.. And he'll be gone about 3 weeks. Sucks... I guess I'll be on jrkruses rom longer than anticipated. I need me some OptimalROM lol. But I want to stay on lollipop
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
I'm thinking that or twisted lollipop if I switch back to tw. Although it sounds like the issues on moar are sorting out quite nicely. I actually have it and the v6 update on my sd card right now, still running ubcm12.

It was funny, I was going to post on the patch thread last night and u posted just before me, I sure hope he makes it BC T-Mobile has some of the better ROMs IMO. What I normally run at least.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
He said it wasn't working properly, I'd like to use twisted lollipop myself. I might try out moar.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
IK has some small issues, hoping he figures it out though
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Maybe the KLTE ROMs aren't reading our modems correctly?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
I flashed an international rom.. Got signal, could call but no data or text or anything. I wonder what would need to be changed to make it work
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magiconthetire:
I have a non-active Verizon Prepaid SIM Card laying here. I put it into the phone while on stock 4.4.2

I tried to make a call to see what it would do and it connected me straight to the Verizon account thing.

Odd, but I thought it was worth mentioning that it actually "called" out with the Verizon sim. Too bad I don't have access to an active Verizon sim to test further

Also, flashed a stock odex T-Mobile ROM. WIth my T-Mobile SIM, 4G LTE was working as well as SMS/MMS. Wi-Fi Calling was also working, However I could not get calls to work over network
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
You can add APNs to the international ROMs?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Tried that, didn't work. It's because it's GSM I think. Something with the system is different
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
I found an aicp build for VZW. Works perfectly. Still looking for cm11 or aosp aokp etc working. I saw a VZW cm11 in a thread is in the works. That'd work for us too.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magiconthetire:
Thanks for the info. We're you able to test any GSM capabilities
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Don't have a GSM sim. What you running right now for the w8?

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Ah ok was just wondering. I would love to find a good custom rom to use atm. I have problems with the VZW ones. I want a international one to work but idk how to patch it to work.

Once CM comes out on the VZW model (hopefully soon) l I will most likely switch from stock to that.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
I've never really used cm. I've always used tw. Might switch it up for a while, Probably better battery life.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
It's a lot less bloated for sure. I don't use any of the Samsung stuff really.

Will one of you do the Odin flash to see if the Knox resets?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
It will don't worry. Just gotta data wipe and flash. Resets everything.

If it doesn't, this same process works using triangle away

[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magiconthetire:
I was able to access service menu via terminal emulator. I'm sure there is a way to get voice to work, as XDA has successfully made the sprint s4 work on US gsm by messing around in service mode and various GSM Samsung phones have been unlocked via service menu. I am just not knowledge enough to figure out how to do this myself

Just to to terminal emulator

Type su

And enter the following as one line:

am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://27663

I don't think triangle away works with Knox. And I'm not too sure a data wipe or Odin flash will either.

Yeah I just thought about that. Not sure.
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I forgot to ask which phone are you getting next?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magiconthetire:
I actually have a G900W8 from Telus Canada. It is unlocked and fully functional on T Mobile LTE.

I purchased the G900r6 because I was under the impression it would work with T Mobile like the Verizon version, right out of the box with simply entering a TMo APN.. I realized I could not get calls working on tmo, only data sms/mms no matter what I attempted.

In the meantime, my G900r6 sold today. I lost around $50 off my initial purchase price after shipping, PayPal, and final value fees are deducted. I can't complain as if It had worked as I expected I would have been a happy camper. I know the person who purchased it is getting a great phone, I just don't have the patience to wait for a workaround for calls to work over GSM. I'm sure a hack will be made, as XDA has gotten Sprint S4 , Sprint Moto X, etc to work on GSM in the US and sprint phones are usually much more difficult to get working on US carriers compared to Verizon phones which as of recent are unlocked out of the box...
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Aw ok. I was hoping to have another decently android savvy guy for the r6 community lol to help me figure stuff out. :(

Me too, looks awesome
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
With Verizon bootloader being locked and us not having that issue I love the extras we get from T-Mobile side of things. My favorite Verizon ROM def optimal tho. T mobile just has so must more custom stuff going on and that's what I'm into plus for me most T-Mobile rs runs smoothest, although nothing beats optimal ROMs battery life only ROM I've ever gotten 10 hours sot

Edit.

Gonna try moar after I wrote this...battery life is kinda crappy today on ub cm12 idle is using 1% and how and that is in deep sleep, kk was like .4% let know know what I think

Same here, applied your fix thru galaxy tools and 4G stays on thru airplain mode toggle, the rom seems OK but Im busy setting it up to play too much, hopefully battery life is decent. So far it's pretty smooth, especially for TouchWiz lol

Edit.

Apparently not, don't get any data after airplain mode toggle, have to reboot to get data again......
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evilryry:
Also try this and reboot, in system/csc/customer.xml you will see this line. Use a text editor and change it from VZW to lra in caps. Only need to edit that one line. Hit save and reboot. Everything good to me now, also did you disable VoLTE, and build prop? With galaxy tools did you hit set after changing to lra?
[Verizon Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantasy2c:
