Sim card not detected

I'm sorry to say (sorry for me ...) that you probably are right .. Yesterday my trusty S4 crashed again. Same message, no cellular connection. I gave the S4 to my father in law, who is very good at taking phones apart and fixing them. For the time beïng I went back to my S3 with JustArchi's 5.1.1. Lollipop rom :good: If and when my repairman finds anything, I'll post his findings! Thanks Smeroni68!

I have the same issues with latest version, didn't have in previous one, also RR happen from timed to time while using Waze
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] smeroni68:
... unfortunately experience can bring the right (unlucky) sentence... good luck for the repair...

Can be a stupid question: did you try to clean the contacts of the motherboard and battery? I mean the 4 elastic contact in the battery sit of the phone... and the 4 of the battery itself?... waze is a battery eater, so need a good quantity of current from battery... when the phone heat during use, if the battery loose the contact with motherboard the phone switch off. Just an idea to be checked, maybe not the reason.

Battery life

I am running the latest CM 12.1 nightly with stock kernel on my S4 and my batter life is horrible. Is this build more battery friendly?

By the way, which release are you running? People say that after the 16th of june release it's gotten less stable.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] mswal2846:
I had done a dirty flash with the 02-june release and found it to be fairly unstable, so I bit the bullet and did a complete clean install of 12-June release and, so far, I've found it MUCH more stable and the battery life is back to being very good.

I have found, though, that some apps will consume the power (for me VUDU was the culprit) so if you're not getting the battery life you expect, check your apps. Obviously, the release can't usually be held accountable for that...

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Arturxxx:
I got the zip from OP. But how do I install it? Do I install it like I install the ROM? Just install from package and done?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] jd1001:
That's the way I'd do it. I installed CWM touch recovery that way.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Arturxxx:
I solved the problem by installing another version of gapps and I've also solved my problem with the bluetooth by using the build from June 2nd.

CWM is very outdated and is no longer being maintained.

Boot into CWM, choose install zip, and reboot. Next boot into recovery you'll be using TWRP.

Use Better Battery Stats or another like app to determine where your power is going. This ROM blows away Touchwiz in regard to battery life. I can get 4 to 5 hours screen time in 2 full days of use. I do use ES Task Manager to stop apps from starting up, and to kill all background apps periodically. I also have a dark theme and don't use the phone out in daylight all that often.

Did you wipe anything after flashing the zip? Dalvik/cache?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] FPSUsername:
Better compatability with rom and you may get better signal. In stweaks, set TCP Congestion control to Westwood. I've read a little about those and Westwood is extremely agressive, it reserves bandwidth for itself while Cubic is less agressive and respects other users on the TCP or something like that.

Here is where I found it:

Camera is working fine for me, if your experiencing issues try flashing stock touchwiz from Sammobile and then start he camera and use it and test it, it should install the correct firmware.

If not i say try a clean flash

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] :
Noticed a popping/crackling sound at the start of videos which after searching through the forum seems to be a common issue despite ROM used.

Possibly found a reasonable workaround which involves switching to photo mode and then back to video mode again before recording each time.

Seems to be eliminated with my early tests but time will tell...

Any way this can be fixed permanently?

Have also mentioned before the sound distortion when making calls which turning volume way down resolves. Unsure how common this is?

---------- Post added at 10:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:54 PM ----------

Actually take it back, don't think switching modes stops the static after all ha ha

Agree with the general consensus though, muting media volume first does seem to reduce the problem, or just recording a short video then restarting straight away. All bizarre! :D

Hey man, 0 experience with modems for Android. I often find that I don't have great signal and it takes ages to get connected if I switch from wifi to data.

I had this problem before but apparently it's fixed for my device with this Rom. Installed the 02062015 build and navigated around Berlin the weekend before last with no problems whatsoever. Not the most precise or stable readings but it worked well enough to point me to ATMs and other places I needed to be. That didn't work at all with the official CM builds.

If you are already on the knox bootloader, you could also update the bootloader with the modem. I always flash the newest bootloader and the combined modem package.

I've read a little bit further on the TCP, if you put it on Westwood, it will be more agressive when the signal is bad. With other words, if the signal is bad, it will try to find the best signal asap. This is useful for you.

For the slow connectivity, try this too:

Settings -> Mobile Networks -> Access Point Names -> Select your carrier (Mine is Hollandsnieuwe int. I selected that, just press on the circle, not the name)

I was on 5.0.1 gpe (dans rom) and decided to try out 5.1. Took an xml backup of sms messages with tibackup and restored that in this rom. However the google messages app didnt import any messages and the cm one got unknown subject on half of them.

Is this caused by a change in sms db from 5.0 to 5.1 that isnt supported by titanium or is it rom related? I deleted the sms db to get a new clean start, but i'd really like to get my messages back.

Anyone experienced anything similar?

Gonna try to remove the cm sms app and try again, but it seems like a long shot.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] tzyn:
For SMS backups i use the SMS Backup & Restore app. Worked always great, also on 5.1.

That doesn't help to solve your problem, but just a recommendation for the next time.

If the Titanium SMS Backup is a xml file then maybe you can try to bring it manually in the xml format of SMS Backup & Restore, for example with Notepad++. So receive a SMS, backup with SMS Backup & Restore and compare the xml structure and content between both xml files and try to create a new xml file.

No. You have to format the target file system accordingly to the file system in the backup first.

Or you can extract all folders from the backup and place them in the right target locations manually which is much more complicated.
