Encryption solution

This was my fault. When I used TWRP to wipe the Data partition for a clean install, it filled up the whole partition with the filesystem. This is bad. For Encryption to work there must be 16Kb of empty space in the data partition. To be safe, I recreated my F2FS filesystem to be 64 blocks smaller than it was (32Kb).

Just curious if theres anyone else using the Straight Talk S4, SM-S975L thats managed to update the modem at all?? Im on the newer ST baseband UAOF4, so far 14.1 itself is running great, but both my wi-fi and LTE data are sketchy as hell. I can get a bunch of notifications for Facebook, or Instagram, or Tapatalk, whatever, and 10 seconds later, the phone is sitting there just spinning and won't connect to anything. WiFi seems to keep disconnecting all the time too, but since I just realized Ive almost used my data bandwidth for the month (should've downloaded the roms on my Mac instead haha), Im hoping maybe theres a simple fix by updating the modem?? I just grabbed XXUHQC1 for the i9505 from the Modem and Bootloader topic, but I figured I would ask first before I broke something. The OF4 firmware we have never made it out in the open, so I cant even go back to stock if I need to fix it. I did the non Aroma install for it (had nothing but problems with the Aroma installer for CM13) so maybe theres an option in the Aroma version that will update it for me??

I don't have a complete answer for you, but you CAN'T use the XX stuff, as that's for the international GT-I9505 S4 only! You'll probably brick your phone.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] marko.dnb:
Works for me, BUT!

Here's whats the problem with GPS

Download GPS Test app from playstore

You need to clear AGPS every time you use GPS app or you won't get a lock on your location. This was problem for me on Marshmallow and Nougat ROMS.

Try it and see if it's going to solve your problem
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] GOOGLE_USER:
GPSux?

Please be advised, there is the possibility of a not too uncommon hardware issue with an aged S4 and GPS signal reception/retention.

This may/may not be applicable to your present issues.

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] RuKaDa:
Why people always assume that is hardware issue?

I have a S4 GT-I9505 and I have tried

all the MM and NG ROM´s available at XDA

, in all of them, GPS only works fine without SIMCARD or with Airplane mode turned ON.

You may think that is an hardware issue, but is not, with LL stock or custom (SuperTouchWiz at the moment) I get a GPS fix in a few seconds, and the signal remains until I turn it off.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] GOOGLE_USER:
Qualifiers

Yours is such a definitive statement, then followed by your experience as an example on which you base your statement.

Truly I have no idea if people always assume it is a hardware issue, though

always

seems unlikely.

Please take note of my qualifiers; "possibility," and "may/may not."

I don't believe these reflect any such assumption on my part. [?]

This would seem to be inapplicable to my devices, as I've never experienced similar limitations.

So, different devices, differing circumstances, various approaches; all in pursuit of device functionality suitable and acceptable to its owner.

I simply offered an alternative vector. Is this really an issue? You seem to imply that I am dead-wrong.

BTW -- A distinction between stock with working GPS and custom without GPS has not been lost on me.

One would not readily think that it should render a functional GPS inoperative [or cause degraded performance] just because of a software change.

And yet... it can. Custom ROM may have tighter tolerances or other things in the background, of which I am largely ignorant, or I would provide a detailed explanation.

As it stands now, the best I can offer is that sometimes it works; and that is my observation.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] marko.dnb:
Oh, totally forgot something. I read the article GOOGLE_USER provided and that is exactly what I did like 2 years ago. I had a problem with losing fix now and then, so I put 2 pieces of foil to fix contact loosing issue and it solved it. In that time I used Stock based LL ROM, satellite fix worked amazingly fast after foil fix. But on MM/Nougat ROMS, problem with fixing are most likely related to software side. I confirmed this on MY DEVICE, not everyone will have software issue like me...
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] RuKaDa:
@GOOGLE_USER

Ok, don´t get me wrong, maybe I didn´t choose the right words and let me clarify it. There are many users (and replies) with GPS issues here at XDA, most of those replies and replies of replies are related with the known issues about GPS in S4 and despite my long search and reading I didn´t find the answers for my issues. I understand your tips trying to help troubleshooting what is causing the GPS issues, and honestly I do appreciate that :)

BTW, I forgot to mention in my previous reply, the GPS works fine in all the MM and NG Rom´s as long as I don´t install Gapps... Perhaps is the Gapps installation, don´t know. The problem is that without Gapps the phone turns out to be "useless".

Wish you, and all XDA users, a nice weekend. Peace :highfive:

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Mynacol:
I highly recommend switching to 3.1.1-0 as it brings important FIXES to 3.1.0-0, but doesn't change much.

P.S.: The TWRP versioning scheme switched some time ago to "x.y.z-a", where "x" is the major version (currently 3), "y" is the minor version (the newest is currently 2), "z" the "fix" version (currently 1) and "a" being device-specific changes/fixes (for i9505 currently 0) => 3.2.1-0.

To express the difference between device-agnostic and device-specific changes, a hyphen is used instead of a dot. This is a reaction to people, who requested e.g. version 3.0.0.1 (or 3.0.0-1) for their device, which was out for some devices, but included nothing new for the others. Therefore there simply was no 3.0.0-1 for the other devices.

To help people, who don't know this, please use the new versioning scheme and maybe place a short explanation next to it. Thanks:)

And now that you are able to revive your device from what you believed was a 'bricked' status [thanks to [MENTION=7166104]aganer12345[/MENTION]'s input] you have chosen to disregard [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION]'s suggestion of the 'dirty' flash??? Why?

Your restored backup may, with time, exhibit the same symptom from which you have just recovered; though this does not mean that you cannot wait to see.

And reflashing clean is a viable option, too; though it entails additional steps and the time they will consume.

The choice is always yours but it is curious to me why you have requested/received/and now dismissed [MENTION=5968293]side[/MENTION]'s advice.

Quite the contrary, my friend, I find that you thought well enough to have a backup.

That exhibits more forethought than some here have been willing to invest of their own time.

If you have the luxury of enough storage space --not everyone does-- then consider also retaining two backups.

I'll leave the design schema to you and your personal needs and interest. I offer mine, in brief, as an example.

ROM Version change: I'm going to backup prior to flashing and retain this backup until next version change. Hopefully, I never revisit it.

After ROM flash and all desired applications are in place: I'm going to backup once again and maintain this one for one week while replacing it on a weekly schedule.

Yes, always try to remain calm. ;)

Calming results will most likely follow.

You are welcome. But my input was minimal and it is your preparation that has/will save you as you increase your experience and knowledge. Build solid habits/foundations to support what you acquire in the future and then pass that along.
