maybe hardware related, loose contact. My brother had this with mic. Sometimes was ok, sometimes not...
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Brentana:
Thanks Thoadi.

May be, but they started after a LOS upgrade, that the reason of my question.

To try to detect if the problem is hardware or software, for now i have changed again the modem software... if the problem persist, i can restore a nand backup i did before upgrading LOS....

the only problem in this tests is the time they take, because there are no apparent cause, can happen after a week or every days....

What a great ROM in honour of this dear little companion!

One annoying thing still remains:

After reboot I lose all my home screen shortcuts from applications installed in the (as internal storage adopted) external SD.

EDIT:

The more I read about it, the more I believe this issue is *unrelated* to ROM, device or even the launcher (Trebuchet in my case).

Therefore probably wrong forum. I have to research some ideas that might solve the issue. I'll get back with more info.

Please share any already found workarounds,

it'd be very much appreciated

Hi kentchristopher,

I use basebandversion I9192XXUCOA2 in Germany, found it on this thread: https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2768593

No problems with March 17th build so far. GPS is working fine.

[MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION]: Thanks a lot for this great rom and your excellent work on keeping it updated!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] kentchristopher:
Thanks for posting this. I'll likely try that baseband if I make it back to this ROM. :)

I think in my last post I had gotten things working in this ROM, but shortly thereafter my GPS problems returned. I've since gone back to trying various stock ROMs, but even with them I have this strange problem: the GPS works great the first 24 hours or so after a boot, but after the first day the GPS seems to die - BUT, after a reboot, it works great again. Given that it works great after a fresh boot I'm inclined to think this is a software problem, not hardware, but having now tried several different stock ROMs, in addition to this and older LOS and Cyanogenmod ROMs, I'm not sure what else to try. Happy to hear any suggestions if anyone has any. Heck, I'd be happy just to hear that someone more knowledgeable than me agrees that it's likely a software issue and not hardware.

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] hrodeberht:
Did you have flip-cover activated in settings? I used for long time s-view cover from samsung and when i opened the cover occasionally i wasn't able to access the phone and got a screen like you. Sometimes helped to open/close the cover more times, sometimes just reboot. I don't use the cover anymore and disabled in settings. Since them no problems anymore.

It works fine,no installation problem....some bugs there are,i am sure that arco68 will take care of them through time....

---------- Post added at 12:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:47 AM ----------

A bug that still remains is that i can't answer the call with the home button,although i have ticked it.

Another bug is when i pull the notification bar down and push the clock in the upper left corner doesn't do anything,instead of open the clock-alarm app as it did in cm 13.

And of course the xposed installer for cm14
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] :

[MENTION=3044346]arco68[/MENTION] Might be a bit off topic, but do you know why this commit http://github.com/CyanogenMod/andro...mmit/7e20a24833706cac95206893db9efa471577fe2c did not made it in releases after CM11, and whether there is a chance for it to be ported to CM14 ?

It works really great on CM11, but CM11 is really too old. I believe there are a lot of people using a smart view cover with their S4 Mini.

Or is there any other app that I can install in order to change themes in this rom?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ProGameAndy:
Not yet, please be patient and wait for the Nightly Releases, they will support Theme Engine.

This is a test build and themes only cause problems, so they are not included.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] madvinegar:
Thank you for your kind reply.

I am not hurried. I just wanted to see if there is any workaround.

I will wait for the nightly builds and I am very grateful for the devs who have provided this great unofficial rom.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] csendre:
Sorry no, and didn't have much time either. Whenever I have time for this hobby I work on AOKP oreo these days.

You can try to use adb to pull system/etc/mixer_paths.xml or edit it with a root explorer/editor on the device. This file contains the audio HAL settings. Look for microphone settings and try to decrease volume. I would suspect the values responsible are under "handset-mic" but could be something else, I am not sure. It will be a trial/error process. Good luck!

3G available only for SIM-slot2 ?

I can use only sim-slot 2 for 3G-Internet. Slot1 offers only 2G-speed. I switched my simcards,

checked the SIM-settings - same result.

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks a lot.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] csendre:
It is the same for everyone. However, hardware has minor variations which is why the same setting may not work for everyone.

---------- Post added at 12:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------

Nope, both slots work 2G and 3G. However, only one slot can have 3G at a time. So if you set sim1 for 3G, you have to set sim2 to 2G
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] msbln:
That's what I thought but could not do.

Has anyone tried 3G-switching between the two simcards with the current ROM 20180421?

SOLVED: Inserted one sim only into slot1, 3G working, inserted second sim into slot2, 3G for slot1 still working. I wish the switching of the 3G/2G assignment to the two sim cards came into effect more smoothly, but for now I'm happy the hardware is finally responding

Bluetooth pairing fails

I cannot pair my Nougat-S4mini with a Samsung bluetooth keyboard. The pairing code (6 digits) is displayed for 3 seconds. Even if I manage to type it in in the given time, the pairing fails due to "wrong PIN".

I own an untouched S4mini with Android 4.4.2 that waits patiently for the code and pairs smoothly.

I tried airplane mode with only bluetooth enabled, yet without any success on the Nougat phone. Any other ideas I could try?

Btw:

Any other BT device in my possession connects well to the Nougat S4mini. Maybe that gives you a hint.

Since 7.1.2 I have had serious problems with my i9195 where I could not make calls after some hours of operation often crashing (with reboot) the phone in the setup of a call. With the latest build 20180428 I couldn't make any calls whatsoever right from the start away.

I downgraded my modem to XXUCNF7 and so far at least I can make calls again. Will check for long term stability.

I suspect its not baseband or linages 7.1 but slow hardware death affecting all the phones than misbehave we see on this forum

With a life expectancy of 18 months, all of use wanting a 5 year life and the convenience of a brand new flagship phone is asking a bit much !

If it wasn’t for the super heroes building these later versions, keeping new features, app support and security issue at bay then we would all have put it in the bottom draw 3 years back
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] BOTUS:
before this site had a moment this morning and deleted what I'd written, I had gone on in detail about how the phone element has crashed on and off across both 4.4.2 and 7.1 and two baseband versions,

this is the lite version

Mine ran I9195XXUCOD3 from a Samsung 4.4.2 build mid 2015 for many years and had odd behaviour and a phone call crashing issue

I went to linages 7.1 to see if the odd behaviour went... over the years its come and gone, died, come back to life, caused lots of stress, lost data, got stuck in reboot loops and caused many arguments and confusion, but 7.1 is better than 4.4.2

I went to I9195XXUCQG1 about 4 months back, it made no difference to the phone rebooting the device randomly, but it seemed to fix the phone running hot and the battery dying inside 7 hours

I see for many countries they are pushing I9195XXUCQL2 in a feb 2018 official Samsung build.... on a later post next page there's a link to an article saying many android security bugs lie is poor firmware and drivers and these only get fixed when you update chipset drivers.... (like you do when you get a new baseband)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] dplasa:
It's working some days now. No crashes during calls, still able to make/receive calls.

So far, downgrading my modem to XXUCNF7 seems to be working like a charm!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] BOTUS:
I was just reading this.

https://www.wired.com/story/android-phones-hide-missed-security-updates-from-you/

its suggests many manufacturers deliberately mislead and never patch stuff, they just pretend. later it says Samsung are reliable and responsible... but often other phone's security patches need the chipset fixed... (with firmware fixes / better drivers) and this is for those manufacturers to do.... many don't bother... with phones running Mediatek chips frequently missing 10 security patches vs Samsung's missing <0.5

if a manu official update pushes a later baseband they certainly didn't do it for fun....

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] BOTUS:
I just go hold of a S6 and set about going back to factory and updating. From a mid 2017 update, on Saturday it did 5 !!!! baseband changes and ended up on March 2018 security update

the notes I made on baseband update for the S4 mini....

Back up using TWRP your current Modem imei efs before flashing , & Copy it somewhere safe

•Extract latest version of Odin to your computer.

•Install Samsung Mobile Phone Drivers for Odin to find your device.

•Boot your phone into download mode, by pressing [Volume down] + [Home] + [Power]

- Once you reach the Download mode warning screen, press [Volume Up] to continue.

•Open Odin

[1]Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin

[2]Place the desired modem file in the [AP] slot.

[3]Go to the Options section and make sure Auto Reboot, Re-Partition and F. reset time are unmarked.

[4]Push [Start]

Once odin reports "Success..." message in the Message box, boot your phone into download mode once again and repeat step 1 - 4 once more.

Odin takes about 20 second and says "PASS" not success !!

and the phone never says it did anything, never says its finished and the carries on saying don't turn off target,

you have to kill it they do it all over again... all very reassuring !!!

they say do it twice coz the world's mad!

I ran the app "snoopsnitch", url without the "A" >>> htAtps://opensource.srlabs.de/projects/snoopsnitch
