[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
How many signal bars are you getting (most of the time)? I decided to look into this myself today since I never get a voicemail notification. Some of the things I did:

1) Installed Sprint Bloatware (all of it, I don't mess around). That was a waste of time, and after installing it, all the crap updated, so of course using the bloat tool to un-install didn't work. That did not fix the problem. Ended up deleting/freezing the garbage with TiBu.

2) Called Sprint, spent about one hour. They did the usual resetting of VM, no help (didn't even reach my phone). At one point she asked me how many bars I have. I told her I only have one most of the time. She stated that typically, you need 3 or more bars for notifications to come through. They are sending me an Airave to increase my signal strength. If that solves the VM issue I'll post results.

What have you set as the left button action?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uselessgenius:
Thanks for responding to my post, I thought everyone had given up on this! Most of the time I'm at 1 or 2 out of 6 bars. I tried the bloatware too and got nothing. I tried reverting to a backup I made in MOAR 6.1 when the voicemail app worked fine, but for some reason the app still didn't work. I tried downloading and installing a VVM apk from another thread posting the same issue and still nothing. I get a lot of calls and voicemails, so I'm kinda hating my phone right now since I have to call in and listen to the whole rigmarole every time I want to get my voicemails. I never realized how much I love that app! Please let me know if the Airave helps or anything else for that matter.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
I'm getting Spints Airave (for free and no charges since I've been with them forever). If my signal is improved and VM works again, I'll let you know, and I'll PM you with how to handle the call with them. ;)
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lbcary:
Thanks for the tip. I did a prl update & that still didn't work. I went & did the hands-free activation & still nothing. I called sprint & had them refresh my account & that didnt work either. So far ive tried a nandroid restore, hard re-set, full wipe, reflash, prl update, profile update, handcent sms app (& other 3rd party msging apps), made sure Messages was my default app, did the hands-free activation, & then called sprint customer service & did everything they could think of including verifying that i had no call/text blocking of any kind enabled & still i cant recieve text msgs thru the stock Messages app. But i do recieve them thru the Hangouts app. So i tried disabling Hangouts too & still nothing. Whats really strange is that i do receive Voicemail notifications thru the regular text msging app & the test text msgs sprint sent me came thru, but when anyone else texts me from another cell phone i dont recieve the msg. Im out of ideas. Unless maybe its my device. Guess ill be using Hangouts for awhile.

[MENTION=2674887]Ramer[/MENTION], at least here in the northeast, the corporate stores do not have service depts, only the preferred dealers do.

Using moar in no way could cause a physical problem with charging port and shouldn't be a problem. Rooting is a touchy subject, but unless your problem is software related it shouldn't affect your service at store.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Guess I'm lucky, I have a corporate store about 3 miles from me. The reason I brought up the charging port was because of my Tab S, it had to go back to a Sprint Samsung repair center for warranty repair with root and custom rom. They repaired it and flashed stock but I verified the serial number.

I would like to know how to get an Airwave.... I get 1 bar at home.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Basically, call and complain. If you are getting 1 bar at home and dropped VM's or calls, you have to convince Sprint. Give them the facts without mentioning the Airave. It was offered to me, I didn't ask directly.

This weekend, out of the blue, i lost function on my weather widget. It would not update. And, when i removed it and tried to add the widget back, it would not show anything weather related.

I had to go into Settings -> application manager and clear data for all my weather-related apps.

After i did that, i did a restart, and voila, widgets work again.

Ive been on airave for about 5 or 6 years now and they work great.

They work up to 2 blocks away from my house on full power. I used to be able to set it in the interface but now.you have to call. There's 3 power settings for range

And the data also works with it evdo rev a

Runs about 2.8 Mb down and .7 Mb up

The.current model is.2.5 plus . It has an antenna that must be plugged in because it gets GPS for 911 capabilities.

Also you can take it almost anywhere you can get a GPS signal and it works (internet connection needed)

But i had to delete all messages, not just listen to them. Hope it helps
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Thanks for the info, unfortunately it didn't fix my issue with not receiving VM notifications. Those instructions look to be pre-lollipop based on the wording I think.

[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macmovr:
Just call up sprint CS and tell them your signal sucks and let them know you have heard about the arave and would like to try one. They will set you up with one, asign a number to your account (free) and your on your way. Personally, it didn't help me, in fact it may have been causing some of my dropped calls so I unplugged it and it sits lonely on my desk. I hate Sprint but because of there unlimited data I stay.:p
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bytes2bits:
I had this issue but only from 1 particular contact (my wife). This problem was being caused by Google Voice. Once I disabled Google Voice (from a computer by going to voice.goggle.com) her regular texts starting coming right thru. Mms always worked. Our workaround was to use Hangouts. I had disabled GV due to phone call issues but amazingly it was also affecting text messaging. It's evil ?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] VandyCWG:
Ok.... I'll try that tomorrow. Main thing, don't ask for an airave..... :) thanks for the response!
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] macmovr:
I could be wrong but I thought that airave was offered to Sprint customers for free due to poor signal on there part. I had no problem having them send me an Airave for free as long as I send it back if I ever change services. It is Sprint property.

want to go back to stock kernel

I'm new to this and am running V6.2 with mod 1.5B on my phone I have two questions. Should I and what is the purpose of updating my modem ? does that help get better data speeds? I have an issue running kt kernel it will run fine for awhile then everything gets very slow a reboot fixes the issue. I would like to go back to the stock kernel. Should I flash the OA6 kernal listed by tdunham or should I do a dirty install selecting the stock kernal in the moar rom? I would like to change kernels using the most unobtrusive way.Thanks for your help.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramondel:
Doing the dirty flash of the rom and selecting the stock kernel would be your best bet.

I will second that, Bytes2bits recommended that I "86" GV due to phone issues I had, I may have also had msg issues just didn't realize it. BUt I actualy called Sprint tech. support to deactivate GV. GV is BAD for sure! I am still astatic that BB got my phone back, loving GS5 again.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bytes2bits:
No need. I start to think I sound crazy on here blaming everything on GV but it really gets into everything. I wish it worked as advertised without any issues. Too bad.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
For some people changing modems helps with their signal. It's never helped me. If you're not sure of the steps, don't do it. Changing kernel back to stock is easy, no dirty flash involved. Just run MOAR's installer and choose the second option to change add-ons only. BTW, all of this is covered in the FAQ (post #1). Please read it as 90% of your questions will have been asked before and will be there. Thanks and Welcome to MOAR ☺

New MOAR flasher info

I posted this in response to a new user who wan't to flash MOAR and I thought it's a good post for anyone first coming to MOAR.

This is what you want to flash in custom recovery (TWRP or Philz): https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952602440. Check MD5 to make sure you have a good download.

But please read the OP in the developers thread for full features and other helpful info. Don't post questions in the developer thread.

For FAQ's-Q&A, please read/view the first 12 posts from the FAQ-Q&A thread. Feel free to post any questions here, after checking that it hasn't been already asked and answered in the FAQ post.

In a nutshell, if you're on BOD3 firmware, simply flash MOAR and that's it. By reading the above threads, you'll learn that:

a) It takes about 20 minutes for first boot.

b) There's much moar to be learned and additional flashes you can add to MOAR.

Lastly, we've created an OFF-TOPIC thread for MOAR where we are a little moar user-friendly. Enjoy!

I somehow lost MOD control app. Dirty flash didnt fix. Tried finding the app in MOAR ROM zip but was not able to locate. Any suggestions?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
I had that happen on 6.1 just before 6.2 came out. I ended up just doing a clean flash if I remember (Search would likely find those posts). BUT... I since discovered something, so let me ask you if you're using NOVA launcher? If so, I get disappearing icons and apps somewhat frequently and I've been able to retrieve them (if it's just the icon) by using TiBu and if it still shows installed, tap it and tap Restore. If the app itself is missing, I go into root\data\app, tap the file and then tap base.apk

Please let me know if that works for you for future reference.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngpro83:
Yeah I didnt want to do the clean install all over again so I thought there was a fix. Stopped using Nova for that exact reason so a clean install it is. Thanks.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Before you do that, have you checked TiBu and/or the data\app folder to see if you can retrieve it? May save you some time.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andee39:
Or maybe you have a recent backup instead of starting from scratch?
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ramer:
Moved your post to the Q&A as this is where it should be. Anyway, I'm not clear on what you mean. If you are installing MOAR for the first time, post #2 in the developer's thread is very clear. Also, if it will help, in this thread post #2 gives the instructions in a slightly more new user friendly format. It is assumed though that you are familiar with the process, if not, please do some more research. I'll ask you to read and view the first 12 posts if MOAR is new to you.

When you posted in the developer's thread, it seemed you were asking if you could install New Stuff mods at the same time as you install MOAR, which is why I recommended that you don't, if only to avoid any problems. Once MOAR is installed and a future New Stuff mod comes out, you certainly just flash it without re-flashing MOAR.
[Sprint Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] youngpro83:
Thanks I checked AFTER I did a restore and it was there in TiBu. But clean install def did the trick. Thanks guys.

Dialer Problem on my phone

Phone dialer problem and Google Voice ... ok so I read about all the issues with GV and decided to try removing it (it was integrated with my Sprint phone, has been for a while, but reading this thread made me wonder if GV was why I didnt seem to be getting calls, only voice mail messages). So I followed the directions, disabled the integration, went back to my old Sprint number, etc etc, but now for some weird reason my dialer doesn't work. I can enter the numbers but cant hit the "sent" key. Here's a screenshot .. could it be a weirdness with the sprint VM replacing Gooogle Voice?

Please help. and what do folks use to replace the Google Voice message transcriptions? do I have to pay Sprint for their not so good service?
