flash the attached zip in the above post and open google by long pressing the menu button (left hand side hardware button) and start setting up ok google. after that the device picks up google voice from the main screen again. I basically have everything working now since everything aside from google voice was already working for me.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] qseyqd:
I used your zip file and it didnt fix my problem but any way thank you burhanuday
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] LeoYL:
From your description I think it is a hardware issue. If you don't want to pay that price, motherboards on trading sites like eBay may have lower prices.

Dude it's now actually an old device , me too facing same problem , now currently using first flight rom and it was running well but not it just boring , now trying to install cm12. 1 as cm13 has a partition bug that erased my whole internal data.. So best bet is to check if it runs fine on any aosp rom and if it doesn't , then buy a new phone . I am also thinking of getting one

Hi guys,

I have flashed the latest version of GearCM but I got problems with phone calls.

1. The screen is off during the phone call even I did not put it on my ears (the screen is on with earphones)

2. I cannot hear any sound from the speaker and ear phones. I have tried to use calls recorder and it recorded whole conversation.

Does anyone know what's wrong with my phone and the solution.

Thank you in advance.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] burhanuday:
About the incall sound:

Increase all the phone volumes to maximum

Ringer volume and media volume to maximum

That should solve it
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] fabiongo:
Thank you for your reply but it does not fix my issue.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ridershahmir:
Well yes you can flash that rom just as another rom , I even flashed kitkat rom from marshmallow , all are cyanogenmod . Actually I also lost my efs but not due to flashing but due to a bug , so first make a backup of efs from recovery and keep it safe on any cloud storage or anywhere safe just for the sake of insurance if anything anytime happens

Regarding the screen issue download proximity fix app from app store , that works flawless , that fixes it
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] hataw:
did developer find any solution to battery drain other than stupid advices like change battery ?

p.s : I got 3 hours s.o.t in samsung based roms , 1 h in this ****
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] SalimPS:
I have a different advice .. change ur phone :) and stop posting useless posts like this in a developer thread.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] u7Xz:
Low Quality Bait.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] burhanuday:
How did u get ur imei number back after losing efs

I mean i generated a new efs using adb but i have a generic imei 0049

So i can't make or recieve calls

Its okay if i cant get my imei back but i need to make calls atleast
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ammar18:
ok, this is weird. I was just going to reboot (1 reboot a day to avoid errors), then it doesnt recognize the sim card. I rebooted many times to no avail. using stock kernel, efs still intact (imei is fine).
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] SalimPS:
do you do normal reboots or soft reboots?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ammar18:
normal
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ridershahmir:
Seriously? I get more than 4 hours of sot

???

Nope dear, yet it's not fixed , I tried hard but failed , now I will have to visit any service center so that may be they fix it via octopus box

Are you confirm its your actual imei or something like 0049***
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ammar18:
yes.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ridershahmir:
Then first turn it off , pull the battery and reinsert the Sim card and check if it's working , if not then try registering the Sim card by going to mobile settings and register to your network and then check it , if still it doesn't solve your problem then try changing your rom and see if it works. But before flashing another rom try to use another Sim card also
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ammar18:
oh well it fixed itself, dont know what happened, but it starts working after i completely power off and boot it up again. Thanks for helping anyway :D

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] zhenhao97:
can anyone help me because I am in a bootloop right now....
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] burhanuday:
Remove battery

Put it back

Go to recovery

Clear dalvik cache and cache

Restart

If u see any other error in the recovery logs tell me

If u see unable to mount efs u will have to generate a new one
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ridershahmir:
Well nothing that much , actually it also depends upon the condition of battery and your charging habits , when I charge my device using huawei fast charger it charges very quickly from 0-100 in under 70 minutes but it actually then drains also that fast and gives not more than 3 hours of sot but when I charge my device using a slow charger which actually charges my phone in around 3 hours , then I get more than 4 hours of sot that too on 10-12 hours of standby time so I usually charge my phone over night with slow charger. Also it depends upon usage , my usage includes social networks YouTube etc and only one game clash of clans. However I am using lwk 5.2 kernel and undervolted it to - 35 mv , underclocked it to 1.2ghz nothing more than that . No greenify etc. Yeah I use force doze for better standby timings
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] burhanuday:
Battery drain may also be caused by xposed framework

Try disabling it for a day and then see the battery consumption

If that doesn't work

Install gsam battery monitor from play store

It will tell u what exactly is using the battery

If nothing else works

Install ampere from playstore to check if u are using the correct charger to charge ur phone

Ampere will also tell you about unusual battery discharge
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] FOLiACETATE:
Hello. I am facing quite an unusual bug...

It goes like this: my mobile data just doesn't work at all. Well, I am able to activate it and I get the little "h+" indicator on top (although there's an exclamation mark). But I can't access google nor youtube.

Weird thing: I do get internet. I can use the play store and download apps (I downloaded various browsers but none of them worked). BUT THAT'S JUST IT. Why is that happening? Why is the play store the only app that gets internet?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] zhenhao97:
doesnt really work for me. I am having a bootloop again. one thing to note is that the service network is unavailable. it will bootloop till the service is out.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ammar18:

if that dont work, change the preffered network mode in mobile networks.

Excelent release, as ever Alberto!!! thnx 4 the new release 20161203. Has any idea how to solve the MHL sound trouble? This is a perfect ROM for our I9500, and this is the unique bug that I can find on it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Unfortunately no, this sound card driver is making me crazy. You have to live with this kind of bugs, at least for now.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Lynx75:
MHL

Thx Master. I understand you, perfectly. I use to take the sound of my i9500 toward my sound equipment using the 3.5 jack and it works while play the MHL connector. I can live with this.

Can I flash stock camera or any other camera in this ROM which has all option like as inside stock camera?

---------- Post added at 06:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:28 PM ----------

At first you are welcome .. don't know about xposed installer because I am not using it..but SOT is good approx 4 to 5 hr but while using its very bad backup approx 1 hr while playing land WiFi or online games. And no random reboot not available only reboot into recovery and call quality is good .
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] TaylinG:
Try open camera or use the Google camera
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] suz_won:
Thanks mate. I installed this rom. Running smoothly no lags with xposed and battery is also fine now.

been using the last build for 3 days and battery life was ok.

however, last night I installed a dark theme and today I noticed huge battery drain caused by themechooser.

this did not happen in previous builds.. any explanation?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
Well it means that latest CM changes are not compatible with this theme.

Alberto the battery is draining heavily..can u suggest to last long?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
The only advices I can give you are already written in the FAQ.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] dheeraj@123:
Can I get more battery life than shown in the screenshot?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] kenjirio:
Sorry, do you mean that a fix doesn't exist or the problem didn't exist?

That's the reason why he suggested looking at the FAQ, try it and see if you get better battery life, if not then you could keep searching, and if it's still bad, then maybe its your battery, if its still bad, then get a new phone if you can afford it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:

These wallpapers are supposed to work on arm devices also after a fix but its not working :/
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
I think they require OpenGL 3.0, and our device doesn't support it. (GPU Drivers Limitations)

Hi [MENTION=2386505]Alberto96[/MENTION] ! Thanks for the ROM first, you did a good work.

After updating my ROM with the latest, I can't install any .apk file anymore :( (Error Parsing Package) and sometimes the phone t° is up to 101' F :eek: . And finaly, when I'm using Google Keyboard, it says that "Urfortunately, Google Keyboard has stopped" :( . The keyboard works but I can't change any option of it.

Any idea to fix it ?

Thanks !

Sound like you face many problems which version of gapps are you using ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ammar18:
try redownloading the apk

have you tried full wipe and reinstall? (clean flash)

try to wipe dalvik and wipe cache before full wipe
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] khadafi995:
I've used open_gapps-arm-6.0-stock-20161123.zip

I've switched to Go Keyboard untill I can fix it.

It's just not only one .apk file, it's about all .apk file on my SD card and phone. Note that I've already checked the 'Unkown sources' in settings. Only apps from Play Store works. The only solution I've found for now is to copy the .apk to the system/app folder and launch the install here and it's work.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] TaylinG:
Try using pico or nano gapps
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] SalimPS:
If you really need all google apps then use aroma installer it's much better than stock and doesnt cause and problems. and make sure you do a clean install.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] IamID1997:
that is why you face many problems I suggest you choose nano or pico and in the op the dev told us "dont use stock" and dont forget to do clean install wipe everything but dont wipe the storage that you put the rom zip file in there. ;)

Directly reporting from my friend with the same device:

His S4's front glass is broken which also affects the way the proximity sensor works. Therefore he has a turned off screen during calls and it seems we don't have an option to disable the prox. sensor during calls in Phone settings. The main idea of this post was to report that the missing option in phone settings. I do not know if is this considered as a bug but I had no other choice.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Alberto96:
With an Xposed Module (search it, i think there are more than just one) you will be able to disable the sensor.

hi mates

i have a question.

i have 20160828 version for now. I had some problems such as call echo problem. I think maybe its because i didnt do a clean install (enough wipe) before.

now i will upgrade my i9500 to 20161203 version. I want to make a clean install. my Phone is already rooted and I installed gearrecovery 20160220 before.

here is my question. do i need to root my Phone again or install gearrecovery again? i mean do i need reinstall them to make a clean install? (to get rid of my currrent problems call echo etc)

thanks for your attention :)

Hi guys i want to make the sound normal cause its very loud??????
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] Kannan12:
Nope. U don't have to do any of them. Just do a clean wipe (check everything except internal storage and sd card while wiping). Install the rom. Everything is detailed in the the first post, u might wanna check it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] bycan:
actually i also want to clean internal storage and sdcard. how can i do that ? or why mustnt i do that ? is that because of recovery and other files are on internal storage or sd card ?
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] ammar18:
backup before wiping, as always!

just go to wipe, and advanced wipe and check for what you wanna wipe, and then wipe.

and you can install the rom again.

everything with this rom is great, expect one bug i'm having where phone randomly reboots. reboot isn't the exact problem since it's reboot, but after reboot mobile network doesn't work. phone doesn't ask pin code for sim and it seems like there is no sim card. another reboot solves the problem but if there's any solution for this it would be fine.

Which build r u on? Latest build is 3/12.ur problem is that u get into soft reboot which im sure that dev has removed it in latest build and it's much stable and no random reboots even 28/8 build didnt face any random reboots at least for me..u may try to check ur battery and how old is it ,may be battery issue.

[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] SalimPS:
yes the dev removed the soft reboot option from reboot menu.. but the phone randomly reboots it actually soft reboots so yes the problem still exist even in latest build.. and I encounter random reboots daily with this rom and I have a 2 months old battery.. so it's definitely not from the battery. one more weird bug I have is volume control are veeery unstable and they take forever to appear :confused:
[Galaxy S 4 i9500 Original Android Development] fariez:
I've been on the latest version without random reboots, either with or without LWK-EOL. Hardware-wise, random reboots could also indicate the worn-out of an aging or faulty eMMC (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2096045&page=2)
