I'm still testing my phone for performance and battery life.

I have a Bell GS4, running stock 5.0.1, rooted and I can say so far the phone feels roughly the same in terms of battery life. I average 2 to 2.5 hours of screen on time with 4.4.2 and it seems I am getting about the same with 5.0.1.

The new animations of Lollipop make the phone feel a bit smoother and more enjoyable to use.

I do have a data toggle that I am using from an app called Widgetsoid. However the data toggle does not work, I will need to make the app a system app to get it to function correctly. This is something I may do in the near future.

I don't see a way to disable S Finder and Quick Connect. We can disable the Brightness toggle/slider.

Even in the new Galaxy S6 you won't be able to disable the Brightness toggle/slider. Hence even more clutter in the notification shade.

I have i337m Telcel working with a movistar SIM, flashed Rogers ROM and had to change CSC to MTA in order to have 4G/LTE connectivity but it seems I need to switch network mode in order to connect after a shutdown.

Also having problems with wifi it keeps switching itself off,, sometimes I can see in the wifi screen how the switch toggles itself off and on, anyone else having this issue?

Wakelock detector doesn't work because of SELinux enforcement. :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] EmmY2K:
I also have a i337m from telcel working with a Movistar SIM, I didn't have to change the CSC, everything worked as soon the phone booted, I don't have any Wi-Fi disconnections and the LTE is working great. However I saw a message about this issues in the i9505 section, you better take a look and see if you can find any fix. Also, did you flash the modem separately? I didn't.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] slim26:
From all I've read - it is definitely an issue with some motherboards (there is a range of bad IMEIs) . That error occurs from a heat issue. Probably with the newer updates and Lollipop, more heat is getting generating which is exacerbating the heat problem. So probably you have a bad board, just not seeing the issue with more efficient roms.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] chav1ru:
Thank you for the feedback, will look there, I got error message trying to flash the modem, seems you need to get it from the .tar file

[MENTION=4512998]slim26[/MENTION] I was doing some searches on another forum and tried it myself. Apparently you can cut a "Sim card holder" size piece of plastic, I used an old credit card, place it on the slim card metal holder and carefully put the case on you s4. I did it 5 hours ago And I have not gotten that Sim card restart message since. This is a record for not needing to reboot.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] slim26:
I've tried it all - every suggestion that is out there on the net. Sometimes, I thought it was resolved, but always comes back. I had it work for 3-4 days once and thought it was fixed... but no good, always comes back. Apparently the bad motherboards are:

IMEI numbers with the last 6 digits in this range: 000000 - 560000 - which mine falls under.

Definite improvement

I had a devil of a time installing but it was user error further complicated by my own frustration.

I Odined to stock KitKat from a custom KitKat (this was stupidity on my part because I downloaded from SamFirmware and thought I was pulling the Lolipop ROM without looking) it was a "dirty flash" but worked fine...) The phone even began an OTA update when it was booted and settled in... I obviously quickly realized my error and downloaded the I337MLUGOC4 VERSION... which took 16 hours :( .

I dirty flashed it and it was working... then I somehow screwed it up when I flashed TWRP and rooted. After spending the whole day reflashing ROM, and recoveries, and wiping and formatting numerous times using different computers and usb ports I finally got a combination of ROM, recovery, and root without a "Fail!" notification.

I let the phone re-download all my apps because I always find that an upgrade causes some to act weird.

It took a few iterations to get a busybox to install because I had an old SuperSU, but finally restored my app data and accounts with TiBu, and froze and removed bloat applications.

So ALL DAY to install and set up, but now I am seeing some fruit for my labour. I had replaced my battery a week ago (and bought a spare as well) so they're strong and were lasting a whole day on Maplesoft KitKat anyway and I am seeing similar now... I have not debloated as aggressively yet because I usually give some of the Samsung stuff a chance for a couple weeks just in case I might like them. I am also contemplating maybe getting a smartwatch of some sort.

It's a very little bit slower than before but again that may be because I haven't removed the KNOX, Ant, ELM, or SHealth stuff that I had deleted on Maplesoft... the modem is WAY faster on my wifi than the KitKat one!!! I actually get the same speed from my phone as all the other wireless devices in my house now, where before it was really slow, and there seems to be one bar more reported on the cell signal in the same spots.

Sorry for the longish rant but I just burned 2 days for a ROM update and had to spout off to a group who wouldn't go cross eyed :eek: wondering why I would bother burning so much time on "a phone".

I had that a while after I got my phone and it is a pretty common problem with the S4 (Google it). It is a hardware defect and AT&T ended up replacing the phone.

I was having the exact same problem and I managed to solve it.

Look at the picture in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=60803859&postcount=304

Under the double sided tape is the connector form the sim card tray to the motherboard, I actually disassemble the case and put the double sided tape inside but it serves the same purpose to apply pressure to the connector.

In the case of my phone it already had some tape pressing the connector but it was not enough.

I did this procedure about 2 months ago I haven't had a single SIM removed message since.

Hope this help you.

Well went from 4.4.2 to 5.0.1, Kept root. Have my S4 unlocked. Just changed over to T-Mobile now. Was running fine on 4.4.2 with battery.

However now on 5.0.1, seems any apps I have up, really drain my battery steadily. I dont know whats up. Have more people had this issue just for having the phone awake causes a solid drain?

So far, all I see on Process report for better battery stats is: (Other then apps I ran for a short time)

Notification access

After updating to 5.0.1 on i337, I've noticed that when i change notification access it does not stick after a reboot. For example, I have a pebble and I give it notification access when prompted by the pebble app, and I see a list of other applications requesting access (cerberus and others). I check them to give them access, but after i reboot the phone they no longer have access granted. Has anyone else noticed this?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] An Droid:
Just noticed with my S4 on 5.0.1 that it no longer connects to my Wi-Fi using 802.11ac mode - only 802.11n.

Setting my AP to allow 802.11ac mode connections only on the 5GHz band causes my S4 to disconnect from the 5GHz band and to connect to the 2.4GHz band using 802.11n instead. Attempting to manually connect to the 5GHz band just fails. With ac and n allowed on the 5GHz band, my S4 will connect, but again only using n.

Seems like 802.11ac has been disabled - but as I've just noticed it, I can't say that it's definitely a 5.0.1 fault - could be something else or my AP (don't have another ac device unfortunately).

Anyone else have any issues?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] An Droid:
802.11ac can only be used at 5GHz.

I'm unable to connect using 802.11ac - it will connect at 5GHz using 802.11n only (and 2.4GHz). Configuring the AP to allow ONLY ac connections on 5GHz results in a connection failure.

I was previously able to connect perfectly using ac but not anymore - but I'm not sure if it's a Lollipop issue...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] s629c:
I know, I was just wondering if 5ghz is at least working. You should find an AC connection to test your phone on. Definitely not a lollipop problem though since mine works fine

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] An Droid:
Just tried on another 802.11ac capable AP. Unfortunately, I couldn't view the Wi-Fi connection details, but the phone still only reported a link speed of 200Mbps (with 802.11ac, I'd get 433Mbps reported on KitKat).

Edit:

Just discovered the *#0011# ServiceMode code that will provide Wi-Fi info (hit the menu button after the initial page and select Wi-Fi).

The phone does attempt an ac connection, but falls back to n if the signal is weak. (Press the "Off/On" button to see it initialize).

With a strong connection, it's reporting an ac connection with a link speed of 200Mbps (n should max out at 150Mbps on 5GHz on the S4 unless you can enable wider bandwidth than default on the AP).

However, previously an ac connection would report a link speed of 433Mbps on my S4 under KitKat. Furthermore, despite the phone claiming a 200Mbps ac connection, the APs status page still indicates a n connection at 150Mbps (where previously it would indicate ac)...

Hi everybody!

I recently bought my i337. It came with 4.4.4 and I'm tempted to manually upgrade to 5.0.1.

I live in Argentina, so the ota is not available.

The thing is that I'm getting a very good battery life and what I read about it here in this topic doesn't look very tempting. Looks like it's not so good as in kit Kat.

As the clash said "should I stay or should I go" to 5.0.1?

[General Questions and Answers] Mabboseg:
I have been successfully using a Bluetooth keyboard on all my android devices operating on Android 4.0.4, 4.1.11, 4.2.2 etc. Recently I bought a tablet with Android 4.4.2 and my Bluetooth keyboard doesn't work correctly on this . It does pair but the prints different characters for keys pressed. None of the numbers print for the correct input and also some letters .. eg when I press 'w' it prints 'z' and many similar errors. My tablet is 10.1 inch Polaroid MID4x10 and it works well for all other applications and the battery lasts for over 5hrs when playing 720p movies. It has GPS as well.

I believe that this version 4.4.2 of Android has been loaded with a wrong keyboard driver.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Check your keyboard settings Make sure that your keyboard is set up for the right country/language.

Because there is not a specific forum for your device, this thread will be moved to general/help
[General Questions and Answers] Mabboseg:
The Keyboard setting is (Android Keyboard (AOSP) English US), I guess it's ok.

But ... I have been looking around in the tablet and maybe discovered something:

The files used by the bluetooth keyboard are "Generic.kcm & Generic.kl" and that is the cause of the problem. The codes set in this file are NOT for qwerty layout. eg key marked 'Q' is assigned to character 'A' etc. These are in /system/usr/keychars, and /system/usr/keylayout folders respectively.

However ...there are qwerty.kcm & qwerty.kl files there as well in this same folders and they have the correct code assignment to the keys, but, I have no idea how to do settings to use them.

My tablet is not rooted and there is nothing available at present for rooting this device so I can't rename the files.

Any idea as to how to change to qwerty might solve the problem and will be of gr8 help to me.

[General Questions and Answers] Mabboseg:
There is no other keyboard shown apart from that. I believe (99% sure) that when I am using a basic Bluetooth keyboard it uses code settings from 'Generic.kcm'. I can also see that for internal built in pop-up keyboard it uses 'virtual.kcm' . I am working through this problem and soon I should conquer this problem

Problem Solved

The problem with my tablet is SOLVED now.

First I had to root the tablet using the method given here:

http://xdaforums.com/android/help/polaroid-p10-tablet-t2965944/post57415782#post57415782

Later I copied a file and renamed it. the actual steps are as follows:

(1) Rename /system/usr/keychars/Generic.kcm -> Generic.bak

(2) Copy /system/usr/keychars/qwerty.kcm and paste it in the same directory. The new file will be pasted as Copy.qwerty.kcm

(3) Rename the Copy.qwerty.kcm -> Generic.kcm

All the above operations were done using the app called Root_Explorer_v2.17.2.apk (Free App)

Make sure to mount the folder r/w before making the changes, after changes are complete than mount it back to r/o.

Now everything is running as good as Gold.

Rooting has made the tablet more fast to boot up and run. Love it now

This was done after so much of reading through the forums and working things out as it applied to my case.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] hyukki:
Of course it blinks on and off because txts don't go through WiFi. Txts and calls and GPS information(I think) go through the provider network, which is why it shows up when you text/calls/gps. For the times it doesn't need the provider network, only WiFi icon will shop up.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] heXacode:
Uh... I already know that but provide the info in case someone doesn't know that. There are people that assume everything goes through WiFi with 4G off. So by me saying that it blinks on and off is an indication to them that 4G is being used because it's a text.

We are basically providing info letting others know why 4G comes on if they have WiFi on already.
