indeed...

very old, since the very first custom rom if i remember correctly. the trick is to hold the power button for app. five seconds while the screen is off. the charging animation must not be shown. or if it is displayed turn off by pressing power for app. two seconds and then release power an hold it again for app. five seconds. good luck!

IDK if I missed something but some older folders were left in my phone (viber, SMemo etc).

I did everything from page 1 (Installed version 3.1.0-0 TRYOUT with Odin v3.12.7, wiped dalvik, cache and data, flashed LineageOS 14.1 for S4 Mini i9195 LTE and gaps arm 7.1 micro)

Was I supposed to get my phone to factory settings before flashing?

S4 Mini i9195 LTE, previous android kitkat 4.4.2

BTW everything is working fine, I'm using my phone atm, and Clean Master deleted some of those unused folders.

Just want to know should I leave it like that or flash everything again with factory settings?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Childe89:
Funny, I was thinking It´s on purpose, so you don´t turn phone on accidentaly - when you just want to wake screen to show charge status :)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Tom Mix:
well that is funny!

why it can be an accident to turn on the phone while it is charging. :confused:

however someone made this code, with what intention we will never know.

I have a question about TWRP and serranoltexx rom. Official TWRP app let us to flash serranolteucs, but will it be compatibile with non-us-celluar devices? (I'm living in Europe).

I'm asking, cuz it would be cool way to update to TWRP 3.1.1-0 from 3.0.3-0, and i think i need it, since LineageOS updates aren't automated anymore at recovery level.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] RedSkull23:
No it isn't, i can ensure you this because i've tried :D and the result was that i had to re-flash 3.0.3.0 via Odin to get things back working. Don't bother tryin', go for the ne0zone75's one; it is unofficial, but it works perfectly.

Today is a bad day; I'm (i was) running lineage-14.1-20170602-nightly, i was simply on XDA Labs app browsing the forum, when i received a call. I've answered, and when i shut off the call the phone shutted off immediately after. I thought it was a reboot, but keeping pressed the power button didn't switched on the phone anymore. So i've tried to remove the battery and re insert it after some minutes, but the only thing i can get is the screen with the samsung logo that goes all black after 5 seconds. I already had other bricks due some errors of mine in the past, but this time it's different... i made nothing.

1: I can't access recovery mode. Ow, how i wish i could.

2: I can access download mode, but after that i reach the ODIN MODE screen with the details of product binary, KNOX, ecc. the phone shuts off again.

3: If i keep the power button pressed, the phone doesn't starts. It only starts if i replug the battery in, but after some seconds it shuts off again.

4: How could a call as another mess up the whole phone? I didn't installed nothing new from at least a week... yesterday an automatic update of the Play Store took place, but except that nothing has been changed. Nothing of nothing! No settings, no apps, no custom kernels...

What could i do? Installing Kies with Samsung drivers could help me flashing a stock rom for example? Because at the moment there isn't too much that i can do with the phone in this state. I hope this little jewel won't have to become a stone to be thrown away. Any help would be great, and really appreciated!!!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Smeagal192:
Try reinstalling Samsung software via Odin, if that fails then its a component failure.

Good luck

...battery (charge for 1h) or power button fail?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Orugazul:
Hi guys, a silly question for you: is there any drawback if I update the nightly in device through the option in the menu, instead of downloading and flashing it manually? Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] filipexda:
I had a power button fail a few months ago and all the symptoms are identical to what the user described. I replaced the button in the local Samsung authorized retailer and the phone (GT-I9195) went ok.

Best luck,

Filipe
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
Nope, I don't believe so - at least I've never had any problems.

However, I do find the LOS downloader rather temperamental. Sometimes it can take 4-5 attempts to download the update successfully.

I've since switched to Lineage Downloader, which supports downloading Delta zips, which are typically much smaller than the full zip.

One thing to note is that - for me at least - while the updater may reboot into TWRP, it doesn't manage to start the flashing process automatically. Perhaps this has been fixed by the latest TWRP try-out?

Cheers!

gps problem

I found a problem with gps nav (14.1)

About 1 out of 4 times the device cannot start up gps when using Here we go, also when I open app AndroiTS GPS it cannot find even 1 satelite. When I reboot the i9195 then it works fine again.

Hardware or software problem?

regards, Peter
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Kreacher01:
I'm experiencing problems with GPS with my S4 mini for several years. Sometimes when I start Google Maps I couldn't get a satellite fix and Maps did not find my location. I installed GPS Status to see what's going on and it did not get any satellite. It showed -/- satellites. When GPS Status gets a satellite signal it shows something like 6/20.

I did not had the patience to wait if it gets a fix after some minutes. Switching off and on again GPS did not fix the issue, only rebooting the phone helps.

I had this issue with Samsung stock ROM, with CM13 snapshots and now with Lineage 14.1, so I assume that it is a hardware or GPS firmware issue at least in my case.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Spaceoid:
I experience the same GPS problems as you do, and both under CM13 and now LOS 14. Only reboot helps if the GPS problem occurs. Happens like 1 out of 3 times I use maps. No idea how to fix that, or where it does come from.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
New build flashed!

I notice some entries for weather providers in the latest changelog.

Any more informon this? Does this mean that weather info in the cLock widgets will be working again?
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Orugazul:
Thank you for the tip, JimmyRay. I'll use the downloader then. :good:

Bug in GPS is not find my location
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] vanzemunac:
I see. I deleted some old unused app folders, nothing really affected my new OS. On kitkat my phone would lag like crazy will updating, but on this it is really fluid and fast.

Can't be more happier :D
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
I believe I'm experiencing the same problem.

Google Maps pinpoints my location quite quickly when in High Accuracy mode, however not when GPS Only is selected.

The GPS Test sees satellites, but never manages to fix my location, even when standing outside on a clear day.

I have not modified the gps.conf file...yet.

On the positive side, image previews in Gallery are much smoother now, and I like the doubletap to sleep on the lock screen.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Kreacher01:
I don't see any change in GPS behaviour with this weekly. I can get a fix with GPS Status and also Google Maps is able to detect my location even if I select GPS only. But sometimes it happens that GPS Status reports that GPS in on but it does not see any satellite and shows -/- satellites (instead of 6/20 or something like this) and Google Maps shows some old location (somewhere I've been hours or days ago). It seems that GPS stops working somewhen but I was not able to find out what causes this. There's no relation to uptime of phone or weather condition as far as I can see. This morning it's foggy and I can get a fix with GPS Status. In the past it happened that I could not get a fix at a clear sky.

As reported earlier I experienced this issue once or twice also with Samsung stock ROM, it happened with CM13 and now with Lineage 14.1. According to Gerrit, the last GPS related changes were some months ago (change in gps.conf), so this is nothing which started with this or the previous weekly.

In the past, I played a bit with gps.conf and changed CAPABILITIES from 0x37 (old default) to 0x33 (new default), changed ntp server from time.izatcloud.net to europe.pool.ntp.org, added Google SUPL server but nothing fixed my issue permanently.

I tend to think that this is something related to the phone's GPS hardware and not the OS.

The Return of the deskclock-bug in 20170609-nightly?

Today i missed an alarm again..

It was triggered not before i unlocked the phone.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] McClane13:
Ahh, good times!

Ahh, good times!

We have a pretty stable, fluid fast and up to date ROM, with weekly updates,

thanks to @arco68.

We have a pretty stable and feature rich TWRP,

thanks to @ne0zone75.

And we have the most recent MODEM,

thanks to @redjamesg.

(Now, if only LOS14.1 had a Network Traffic Monitor in Status Bar

with up & down arrows, like RR, that would be awesome.

Is it too much to ask? Is it possible to embed it to LOS?

I have a tried about a dozen apps from store and none seems to be working fine/trouble free.

Also, if a skilled developer like @arco68 could work on LOS14.1 (and hopefully LOS15)

on a Samsung A3 (2017) (perfect size like the S4 mini, respectable specs and price)

or a Samsung A5 (2017) (a little bigger, specs a bit better than A3, and somewhat affordable)

that would be even more awesome.

But, I digress, I'm not here to *****, I'm here to thank you all. And to listen to suggestions...).

Thank you @arco68, @ne0zone75, @csendre, @redjamesg.

Keep up the great work.

Ahh, good times!
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] McClane13:
I've had the occasional problems with Maps unable to pinpoint my location,

but nothing an app closing-reopening or phone restarting couldn't fix.

Maybe it's worth trying to update to the latest Modem form here,

in case it is something reception related.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, and the modem has nothing to do with sat reception.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Childe89:
Was thinking the same few days ago, I´m also looking for some new phone and A3 2017 is best choice for me at the moment, but A series don´t usually receive much community support and development which is unpleasant :)

gps

My previous S4 mini almost never had a gps issue, it was on 13.1

Now I have some problems with it, so i think too its hardware related, maybe more people can tell??

The Galaxy S4 has also this issue which can be repaired: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kMNb8BVr540

I have changed my housing before and noticed that the aftermarket housing did not have a gps antenne, i did not put it.

Maybe the alu foil can do the trick..., I'll give it a try. Or see link below!

gps.conf is easy to swop with app:

-faster gps (can change it to different countries)

-androits gps

---------- Post added at 10:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:21 AM ----------

Or here a better video of repairing the gps antenna: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gl9WByVGoxI

I did this one. will let you know how it went
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
I went to the beach yesterday. It was a clear day, with no cloud in the sky, so I decided to give GPS another try.

There is obviously no WiFi at the beach, nor did I have any mobile reception. I enabled GPS and tried the GPS Test tool. After a while some satellites came into view and and were gradually used. After around 5 minutes, the GPS finally got a fix.

So, for me, it seems that GPS is working...it just takes a long time to get a fix.

Note that usually I used High Accuracy mode, combining mobile, WiFi and GPS. With this mode, Google Maps pinpoints my location in around 10 seconds or so.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Kreacher01:
I was never patient enough to wait 5 minutes to see if I could get a fix when Maps did not show my correct location.

Next time the issue occurs I'll try to give my S4 mini some time to get a satellite fix.

Unfortunately patience is not my strength... ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] JimmyRay:
For testing GPS I recommend using the excellent GPS Test tool instead of Maps, as it provides more information about satellites in view and in use.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Kreacher01:
I downloaded some tools to display GPS status but the issue always happened when I was somewhere on the countryside had to decide which way to take. So far I always lost patience after a minute and rebooted the phone...

Next time I'll wait 5 minutes to see if I get a satellite fix then or if reboot is the only way to fix it.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Aimkaie:
Hi,

first of all I am sorry, in case the following is off topic. But maybe one of yours can give me a good advice.

I am looking for the latest modem to update. I am located in Germany and running a DBT version: I9195XXUCNJ4. I guess this is a bit outdated. I can see on Samsung Firmware Site that there is a newer Version: I9195XXSCQAI ( https://samsung-firmware.org/model/GT-I9195/region/DBT/ ).

Anybody got the modem extracted and can post it or can anybody recommend a different modem? I am not sure if it is good or bad, but I would like to stay with the DBT version, cause it is unbranded and free from provider.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Kreacher01:
I used the modem I9195XXSCQAI (the phone reports I9195XXSCQA1) for a few weeks and I did not experience any problems with this modem version. On the other hand I also did not see any noticeable improvements compared to older modem versions.

In the past I extracted modems from stock ROMs for Vodafone Spain or Netherlands and did not encounter any issues concerning branding or net lock (I'm using Telekom), all modems were working fine. Unfortunately I don't have webspace to upload the I9195XXSCQAI modem, but I think you can use the QAN version linked a few posts above.

I assume that the modems delivered with the builds for providers might contain some optimizations for the provider's network but I'm not sure about that. Builds for the providers differ mostly in the CSC part (if it's a 3-piece firmware) which contains their bloatware among others.

As long as it's a XXUC or XXSC modem you should be safe. The letters after this code define the build date: NJ is Oktober (J) 2015 (N), 4 is just an index. QA stands for January 2017.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] RedSkull23:
A power button fail could avoid the phone to starts at all even if plugged in my PC without battery? 0 signs of life, no battery charging screen, no possibilities to make it just only vibrates... I'm always more sure that the problem could be hardware. I'll try everything i can (usb-jig, reflash of stock firmware 4.4.2, flash of stock recovery and PIT file) but it looks like it is completely dead.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Smeagal192:
Regarding gps, my I9195 takes around 2 minutes to show found sats, then works well as a satnav dash mounted in car, will not work in house.

In comparison samsung tab S (t800) indoors finds more sats in under 5 seconds and locks, s4 mini will not even work, so take it not the best at gps :(
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] regimail:
Yes, typically GPS-only fix time is much longer than A-GPS. AFAIK what A-GPS (or High accuracy mode) does, it downloads - via data connection - an approximate location/region you're in, in order to only query GPS satellites in that region: this speeds up GPS-fix quite a bit; otherwise it would have to query all satellites to ascertain where you are on the planet. Still, what you did was a good way to test the hardware!

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Kennedy_Snow:

[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] ptr1968:
very quick gps fix

Now it gets weird, with location settings, there are 3 options, I always had it on High accuracy mode, now I changed to the third one, just only: GPS

I have tested it about 7 times in 2 days, also in area with very poor mobile signal.

Every time I had a fix within 3 to 15 seconds, its performing much quicker now.

I have the config.gps file on my country the Netherlands trough app Faster GPS.

The hardware antenna trick didn't make a difference (from earlier post)

Hello all, maybe someone has a clue.

I have been dealing with severe issues with this rom. No matter what version or update I have used now. Everytime when I switch off my WiFi connection and go to 3G or LTE and start using the net my phone gets super hot and drains the battery within 15 minutes or so. If I go fly mode it cools down and works fine again. So this only happens when I use mobile internet . I am getting really annoyed as I need mobile internet because of my work. I am thinking going back to the older CM roms as this issue doesnt want to disappear. Yesterday I have flashed another Modem firmware and completely wiped my phone and installed the latest nightly version and this issue is still there. Does anyone have a clue what I could do? If no I will go back to CM. As this is driving me crazy already.
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] Thoadi:
Only GPS mode always (with stock rom or CM too) needs about 5min to find the position. Depends on Location (city, countryside, forest)

I don't use data connection and I'm aware of roaming prices when abroad...

Best way: Ask some locals :cowboy: best GPS

If nobody is around I use GPS Stats App to see the progress and when it's ready ;)
[Galaxy S 4 Mini Original Android Development] regimail:
Hi, how old is your battery? Even though it is quite normal that 3G/LTE drain battery more than 2G, I had similar issues with fast draining battery (once I went below 15% even in battery saver mode, it would drain in minutes if I had 3G/LTE activated). What I did was change the battery and the drain issue is somewhat diminished. As far as heat though... it does still get warm, maybe not as warm as before I changed the battery, but then again... apps and websites are becoming more and more resource-demanding while this is a farily old (but still very capable) phone...

Networks operator icon's(3G,4G, not seen) show only operator name. LTE or 3G network chosen manually, but wont help. Calls, SMS working well!!!

homescreen weather widget not found weather provider(so widget cannot show weather)

Pixel launcher works fine. The icons are neat and tidy in the app drawer.

Pixel phone app works fine.

Google assistant works fine.

Battery percentage not working.

When you install a new app, if it asks for permissions, it crashes. You have go via settings > apps > the app you installed > and grand all the permissions. Then the app opens fine.
