Digitizer not working

Hi! Maybe it's not the best place to ask for this particular help, but...

I unlocked bootloader on my Note 4 SM-910V, flashed TWRP via ODIN and then with TWRP flashed "lineage-15.1-20180326-UNOFFICIAL-trlte". That seemed to go OK. Next I flashed Gapps Pico but for some reason it gave errors, for example Play store couldn't open. Since I had another version of LineageOS "lineage-15.1-20180123-UNOFFICIAL-tbltexx" I flashed it and at the same time flashed Gapps (in other words, I didn't reboot device, but right away flashed Gapps). After the reboot the digitizer quit working. I could usually make one touch and after that touch was either nonexistent or erratic. So I flashed stock ROM for Note 4 Verizon, and the phone boots up all right but the digitizer still doesn't work.

Does someone know what went wrong? Was it my sequence or the wrong TWRP or LineageOS for it? Could it still be a software issue or is it hardware? Is this what it means to brick a phone? ...

Thanks to anyone!!

N910V is for sure trlte. Can you get back into twrp? If not you might have to Odin it again. Or fastboot twrp back on. Google recovery for note 4. If you want to try restarting to recovery keys I think it's down vol home and power but it might be up vol. The other is for download mode to use fastboot. Another issue is these phones are getting old so the thing is your digitizer could just be happening to go out now. That would be a unfortunate coincidence. If you can get back into twrp you should get the firmware update from op for the phone as well. Twrp should be updated to newest 3.2.3 as well if you did not just flash the newest right off the bat. Just flash in twrp as an image to your recovery. Was your device on marshmallow before you tried to install lineage? If not that could be the issue. The method I used to unlock you had to use modified lollipop bootloader so you then need to change to marshmallow. Honestly though you should probably go to the thread you used to unlock though since this is not about unlocking and getting recovery working thread. Worst comes to worse you can try to recover with Odin to factory system.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] athoti:
Thanks for you input Vortell! Yes I was on lollipop 5.0.1 before rooting and I used kingroot and adb commands to unlock bootloader, like from here https://xdaforums.com/note-4-verizon/general/note-4-verizon-bootloader-unlock-t3358913 I could flash any twrp and it didn't matter, it would not work. So finally I went to factory system via Odin and the digitizer is still out. But funny enough, back button and files button seem to work fine, which they are also touch sensitive. So I can't figure out if it's a hardware or software issue and I was wondering if anyone knows or has had this happen. It would be quite strange if the digitizer gave out right in the middle of flashing that LineageOS. I got this Note used but it's in pristine condition. All I can figure out is that flashing the tbltexx lineageos would have caused it, but then why not fix itself after flashing factory system?

Thanks again!

While on stock Rom just dial *#2663# and update the touch screen firmware. That's because you flashed note 4 edge firmware.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] athoti:
Yup, that's what I was thinking. If only I can get passed the Language selection etc. to dial that... I'll try.

Thanks a lot that! That makes sense.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Raven_999:
Try using spen. It's more precise than the finger
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] athoti:
Thanks a lot that! It makes sense, that's what I was thinking too. If only I can get passed the Language selection etc. to dial that... I figured out about 1 in upwards and 1/4 to the left clicks about where I need it to ;)

So I dialed that number but nothing happens...
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Vortell:
Honestly sounds like digitizer went out. You can try to get mhl connector and a Bluetooth mouse. Then play around with things or at least see the screen. Even without a mouse the touch input seems to work. At least it would be easier to try different things.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] mmva2142:
Is there anyway we can get the dual sim functionality?

I was just wondering if it's worth installing the latest Lineage 15.1 20181107? Is it possible to get the dual sim functionality or you gave up on that? :confused:
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Vortell:
Nah I have never seen any support for dual sim in any Los build for note 4. It's really nice otherwise. Though many complain about battery life compared to 14.1 mine seems fine.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] len207:
Yep I remember that happening with my phone after some flashing errors. The digitizer is working but the touch control needs to be reset. I also remember using the dialer to enter a code which brought me to a screen that allowed me to correct the problem. I do recall using the Spen rather than finger touch to make the corrections. The poster who provided the code is probably giving you the best resolution. The person who helped me also provided instructions which helped.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] athoti:
Boy what a headache heartache all mixed up!

Thanks Raven_999 and others!! While the code didn't work for my bootloader locked SM-910V Verizon (none of them "secret codes" work on this phone) it at least sent me on the right path and I finally got digitizer to work perfectly again!! In case anyone faces the same issue:

I flashed stock ROM via Odin and managed to set up the phone by many trials and guesses of where the touch would be, cause it wasn't the same across the screen. I managed to activate developer mode and activated "show touches" and "show pointer location" under Input. That helped me more than anything. I installed Kingroot for temp root to gain SU rights and followed tutorial from here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAyZAa8ck8U. Basically the command is "am broadcast -a android.provider.Telephony.SECRET_CODE -d android_secret_code://2663" That got me to refresh digitizer drivers and thank God it works!!

Back to business. Rooting this thing again for a hopefully beautiful flash of LineageOS :o (and no more of that Note 4 Edge flashes either!!)

I go to this site,and how they don't have for my country. Serbia,I download for Croatia this firmware

https://updato.com/firmware-archive...ow(Android+6.0.1)&order=date&dir=desc&exact=1

Now,do I need to flash also and BL an CP, or with this firmware I will get also the latest BL and CP?

This firmware is the latest version ,and its not sm-n910T ,it is Sm-n910F but its for t-mobile.

I just want to check one time before flashing, I can flash this SM-n910F? Its for Europe but firmware is Tmobile or..

I hope that I will finally get better signal and network LTE or 4G..
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Vortell:
It will have them, no need to flash the whole thing you can take out certified parts and just flash them. There is a link to some of the flashable stuff in op. There is a guide somewhere for it. Plus I think I have pm about it as well. I would have to dig though. Honestly not going to get a ton out of the updates on aicp or lineage probably. FYI I used to prefer Los aka lineage but use aicp now. It's but Mone who does allot of the kennel with for our devices now. Not sure if Micky is still too but haven't seen him in a bit. He might stick to GitHub or caf forums like alot of kennel people do.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
Custom firmware never includes the appropriate BL and CP because (1) devs never dabble in BL and CP code, as those are international standards that need to be maintained in order for your phone to be allowed to connect to global GSM/CDMA/LTE networks, and (2) rom code is entirely separate from BL and CP code. While it's a good idea to keep up with BL and CP updates to ensure stability and good battery life, unless your BL or CP are really old, it shouldn't make too much of a difference.

So what variant do you actually have? There's no such thing as N910F for T-Mobile, that's why N910T and N910T3 exist. If yours is in fact an N910F, you can only flash an N910F bootloader and modem, as the F has a different antenna than the T because the F is incompatible with a couple of bands that the T is compatible with.

By the way, Samsung Updates Live provide the most recent versions, from which I extract the bootloaders and modems I post.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tze_vitamin:
I was download today that latest firmware sm-n910f tmobile for Croatia's provider,cause that will also worked in my area. Thats not the problem,but the problem is in Odin ,I was having this problem for the first time,I flash on this phone and the other so many times firmware and I know the process but I didn't know how to solve this,first time saw this.

Whats the other option to flash F firmware,cause i read that the sm-n910t dont support or something like that with European sim card 4G.

Ps. I removed device on the and of process to be able to shoot this picture.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tze_vitamin:
I have SM-N910T

Can you help me to solve this,here is screenshots of what I have:

Can you help me,how to get 4G and LTE?

What to install?

I try today,download sm-n910F for Tmobile from updato.com ,but I couldn't flash it through odin?

I ask before,what to flash to get 4G?
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tze_vitamin:
This is screenshot s
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Raven_999:
Man, you have the T variant and you're trying to flash firmware for the F one. That's why Odin gives you that error. Never flash firmware not designed for your variant. There's a reason why Sammy name their devices with letters, according to the area(region) they should be used in order to have signal, data and so on. You can use a phone not designed for your region, but you have to accept its disadvantages like poor signal and lack of 4G/LTE.

These variants differ from each other in: modems, bootloaders, partition sizes, antennas etc.

I live in Europe, but have the N10G variant which is designed for Asia/Australia and don't have 4G/LTE, and I accepted and live with that as I don't have another choice, so that's what I advise you to do.

H (3G), H+ (3G+) is not so bad unless you're watching HD videos or downloading big amounts of data, plus 4G is a battery hogger when you don't really need it or screen is off.

In the future, if 4G/LTE is so important to you, before buying a phone, make sure its(modem's) 4G bands match your carrier's ones, so you don't have any issues with data.

T Mobile's 4G/LTE bands are 4 (1700/2100 MHz) and 5 (850 MHz), so check your carrier which ones does it support.

I hope I explained and answered your questions and doubts.

So, before making 1 cut, measure that thing 7 times, which means, prior to making something crucial to your device, read, read and... again read.

will anyone look forward to fix VOLTE problem ?

I'm looking for a solution to fix the volte problem with the Indian carrier platform jio which requires Volte to activate calling functionality and i can't find one.

i really like the lineage OS .

if there is any fix available please let me know .....:confused:

2 days ago i was looking for a fix on the internet for Volte in custom rom...

and it came up with something called IMS registration ....

and when i look for a IMS settings .........i didn't see one in the lineage OS rom ......

i think thats the major issue with the Volte is IMS settings APK is not present in OS. :(

and if you found any fix please let me know.

good luck amigo!!
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Vortell:
Volte works on very few lineage devices and carriers. The standard volte developed by Google is the only volte that I have seen work on any. This is because it's the only open source implementation. At least from what I know. Here in the US the only carrier that supports last time I checked was TMobile. I some parts about getting it working in lineage 14.1 but can't remember if it was for a note 4 or s5.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tze_vitamin:
I was been today at my carrier service in office and talk to manager about my sim card and network,because I installed today the latest firmware for T model,update it with the latest and final update that note 4 got this year in July, also flash through Odin Cp and Bl also for T model and my firmware version,that I collect all that through this two weeks reading and learning about that,I correct the firmware that I have before ,because I buy used phone and it was have some unbranded firmware,with unstable root,and that was making me problem that I was not so sure if phone is F or T ,so after I open phone today,I found out that is Tmobile and I flash latest sm-n910T firmware and BL and CP.

After all that,I do research and found out that my region have 4G since last year,but after all that I don't get on my phone 4G but ,signal was much better and stable and now I have H+ ,but let me back to beginning when I went to my carrier representative office and when I talk to manager, he explain me,that postpaid sim card have 4G signal,but prepaid sim card don't have 4G signal.

I have prepaid card. So ,I can't have 4G ,but I now have firmware for my model phone that suit and latest update at the end.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Vortell:
First hspa+ (H+) is widely considered 3.5g and it's pretty good. Two out of four networks in US will just barely let you watch hd videos if you let them spool a bit here in the US. This largely depends on location though. Some locations you can watch it all day. Here's a good article on the differences in theoretical speeds.

https://www.androidauthority.com/hspa-vs-lte-which-one-is-better-78120/

Keep in mind the speeds listed are theoretical, 3g speeds in the US vary a lot and even the 4g only average just over 20mps. Take a look at this.

https://opensignal.com/reports/2018/07/usa/state-of-the-mobile-network

In the end It does appear that the phone covers the right bands though.

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Raven_999:
Then try to put a postpaid SIM in the phone an see if you get 4G, if you do, and if you are so obsessed with this fourgee business, switch to postpay service
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] ripee:
First of all, you need to install the latest Samsung driver.

Secondly, do you really need to flash stock firmware? Lineage will work without having to flash stock first, as long as you also flash the appropriate BL and CP.

After you install the driver, first boot into Download mode and flash the latest N910T BL and CP. Pull the battery, boot into Download mode again, then flash the latest TWRP. You could split the BL and CP into separate files and flash both and twrp at the same time in Odin, but I find that flashing them separately will help you to figure out what exactly went wrong, if something does go wrong.

Then reboot into Recovery mode and flash Lineage and GApps.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] tze_vitamin:
If I understand you right,you want to say that I with my phone,and this firmware that I have and BL and CP that I flashed today I can have 4g and that all carrier in my country support 4g. Ok.

Sorry for my bad English.

I found out also today that all carrier have 4G but the difference is in sim card.

I have prepaid sim card ( that is when I every couple day in market recharge my sim card with two or three bucks) and I am restricted through carrier and I can't have 4g.

But if I change my sim card to postpaid ( that is when you get a bill and pay every month you tariff that you use) I can have 4G.

That's the next thing that I do ,and with this ,I will finished all question on this ,I have all that I need ,a lot of us help me to flashed correct firmware and other stuff, and I am great fuel for that.

Thanks everyone for help.

Its hard cause in the meanwhile I am also learning English to..
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Vortell:
You are doing great. I understood you had to change the way you purchased service just wanted to let you know in your country you might not be missing much. Also wanted too show you how to look for different bands for your phone and how important it is to know which ones you need if you buy a new phone. Maybe find a speed measuring app and look up the speeds you get. Honestly might not care that much if it's high enough. Not sure how much data open signal has in your country but the app might be a good starting point.

Clean flash. In fact did unlock and just about everything. Play Store worked fine for a while. What is Emmc?

I had all sorts of issues with GAPPS (I tried a couple different variants too). Using MindTheGapps in place of GAPPS did the trick for me.

On another note, anybody have any issues with Bluetooth? Intermittent connectivity issues or "Bluetooth stopped working" messages? Just wondering if it's an ongoing issue or if it's just me.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] MRC01:
Good advice. However, in the USA T-Mobile also uses band 12 / 700 MHz. This one is critical if you want good T-Mobile coverage in most areas of the USA.

F...G networks and their restricted privileges and staff for postpaid users.
[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Vortell:
They also use 600mhz now too but none of those were available on note 4. 700mhz although was available on the Nexus 6, 5x and 6p. Of which Nexus 6 used the same modem as note 4 in the us. It is a sd 805 after all and these are socs. The problem is unlocking the hardware with firmware from qcom. It's not good for cellular service providers to allow access to all bands. It's harder to keep you on just one and to sell you an upgrade to your phone. There were very few pre-2016 phones to have those abilities turned on.

http://www.spectrumgateway.com/compatible-phones

I'm pretty sure Bluetooth issue is upstream issue from lineage in some qcom devices. Aka CAF issue. It's happened intermittently on note 4 over the years at about the same time as s5. I know for sure it's happening on the Moto e 2015 as well. It was mentioned as upstream Los Banos issue for that device by lineage 16 developer. As for gapps open gapps can change day to day. Mindthegapps puts out the releases less often so if you have issues with open it's good to try them. Sometimes it's just a Google issue though. That has happened on many phones for me over the years. Even one without custom rom. So normally I do three things 1. keep copy of old working open gapps packages and 2. Wait a day or two unless it's an issue in install setup. 3. Try mind the gapps. Otherwise I I might try down the road is the magisk module for gapps. For me though open it's the best because with Aroma install I can get Google dialer and frame work with any other gapp I want. This allows you to use visual voicemail without carrier app and to use spam filtering by Google. This means spam filtering without paying for Verizon spam filtering!

[Galaxy Note 4 Android Development (Snapdragon)] Levistras:
Haven't tried 15.1 for a few months, still on the last 14.1 build. Wanted to see if my S Pen issues have finally been resolved that I reported, but it looks like they're still present.

I can't be the only one that uses their Note 4 for drawing... does nobody else have issues? If you touch the screen with a finger when you're halfway through drawing a line with the S Pen, the line disappears. This works fine on 14.1 but has never worked on the 15.1 builds. Give it a shot with Autodesk Sketchbook (free) and you should see exactly what I mean. This doesn't impact 14.1 builds, stock, or other devices (I have a Tab A with Pen and it's fine).

Looks like my last two posts about this were June 1st, and then Sept 17th, issue is definitely still present. Something weird is happening with S Pen events getting cut off when the device sees another touch event.
