I have the same phone with a clean install that I have been running since the V8 release and I am not experiencing this problem. I am able to achieve speeds of up to 50 both up and down depending on how close I am to the router. I do have a question for you or anyone else with the same model phone, does your GPS work? I have read some mixed reports with other model phones in the forum, seems that it may be working for some and not for others. I am not able to get a fix on any satellites with WiFi on or off and "mobile data always active" turned off.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] telefoni:
I have no problem with GPS. It works fine for me and has been working without problem with any of the version. The only thing I would suggest is to make sure that the contacts for the GPS antenna are tight.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Spudmac:
Went back to the stock ROM to get a baseline, and indoors I have a 3D fix with 20 sats in view, using from 5 to 10. I will try doing a clean install back to v8 to see what happens

Haven't had time to peter around with this device at all with work and family occupying most of my time lately. . . I need to go back to stock ROM myself to update to the latest firmware, my device is still on OK3. . . PL1 is the latest and final if I'm not mistaken. . .

DUMB question since I've NEVER had to go back to stock before. . . so correct me if I'm watching here. . .

1. Flash Magisk Manager uninstall .zip via TWRP.

I remember flashing uninstall .zip in v7 which immediately threw me into download mode. I wasn't sure if that was by design so rebooted, flashed my backup v7 then dirty flashed v8.

2. Wipe dalvik cache, system, cache or factory reset(all via TWRP).

3. Download and extract PL1 firmware .zip.

4. Download mode then Odin 3.12.

5. Hit AP select .tar.md5 file.

6. Pass then reboot.

7. After initial reboot check BB and BL for PL1.

Will I still have root or will I need to re-root in order to re-flash v8?

Just making sure I cover everything. . . just DON'T want any problems with stock firmware. . . I hope this helps others. . .
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Original Android Development] Spudmac:
Great question, unfortunately I do not know the answer. You are correct PL1 is the latest, I am still running OD2 so I would also be interested in the correct procedure.

no word about the blutooth % change for german language?

additionally I found another scrolling, wich could be changed into multi line.

I am talking about the lockscreen message.

edit1: actually maybe it just need to know what to do with "return / new line".

the scrolling can stay if you don´t make a new line, but text is to long to show.

edit2:

+ text color selector

+ text size selector

+ maybe additionally an image selector to show in the lockscreen, below or above the message, with opacity slider.

size forced to be the same as image, no creativity blocker! but if to big scaled down.

I had to follow the second method documented here to make full disk encryption work.

https://android.stackexchange.com/q...-encrypt-your-device-running-cyanogenmod-12-1

The generic jflte TWRP v3.3.0 did not decrypt /data so I had to downgrade to the latest jfltespr version of TWRP to access /data in recovery.

Android Pie has made separating the encryption and lockscreen passwords difficult. I needed to do the steps on this page to separate them.

https://xdaforums.com/general/security/guide-separate-passwords-encrypted-t3048072/page7

There was is no way to access the APN settings from the menu. I was able to access the APN settings via

Intent sendIntent = new Intent(Settings.ACTION_APN_SETTINGS);

or the APN Chooser app on the Play Store. It warns that APN settings are not available for this user, however the "plus" button is still there and I was able to successfully enter my APN settings there.

flashing stock rom

Your steps for removing Magisk and flashing stock rom seem correct to me. When I do this, I normally have to clear cache right after the flash (in stock recovery) to avoid a bootloop.

With an i9505 you don't have to re-root your device. Instead you can flash TWRP.img directly with odin, too. Cannot say if this works for your device, too (locked bootloader, right?)

After doing a little digging I came upon this site which helped me through the process.

https://www.**********.com/how-to-install-latest-official-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-s4-all-models/

It didn't answer all my questions, but it got me through going from OD2 straight to PL1. What I wasn't sure of was whether or not I had to go back to my stock/custom FreedomPop ROM or do anything with SU before doing the process. I decided to go back to my FP ROM leaving SU alone, it worked and now I truly have a stock ROM after the FW upgrade. Once the upgrade was done I used Oden to push TWRP , just have to make sure you un-tick auto reboot before pushing TWRP. Then I used TWRP to reinstall SU, and finally clean installed v8.

The only problem I ran into was my GPS not working when I was done. I clean installed v8 again just to make sure i didn't miss anything and it still didn't work. I went back to my new stock image and GPS worked fine. Cleaned installed v8 once again and GPS started working. This is the second time I have run into this weird anomaly with GPS, but once I get it to take it works fine, strange.

Hello,iwas on the v7 and

I flashed the v8 following this tutorial from ExquisiteArcaneAstralMystic post #1331 :

" 1. flash Magisk uninstaller

2. Wipe all except sdcard (including internal memory so before doing that copy what's precious to you to sdcard)

3. flash rom

4. flash gapps of ur choice (for me it's always micro)

5. flash magisk

6. Reboot

5. After first boot install magisk manager apk to manage magisk

6. Reboot back to twrp and choose what you want from aroma addon (optional)

-but the root did not work! titanium backup tell me I'm not rooted :(

so then by TWRP i flashed : " addonsu-16.0-arm-signed.zip "

but it still does not root! I re-flashed the file twice and nothing to do, can you help me?

EDIT :

I installed root checker 6.4.5 and he told me that i am rooted.

but Titanium backup still does not recognize root :(

I uninstalled Titanium and then reinstalled it. But the problem is still there, what should I do?

it is a problem with the programming of the app, because with my addon viper4android and root explorer, they recognize my s4 rooted.

it will be necessary that the dev of titanium solves this problem :mad:

It does not matter, luckily i made a backup of my apps by TWRP and i recovered everything

No ADB/USB-Con and Black Screen while Calling

Hey there, thanks for continuing effort keeping the S4 operating.

I have used v7 for couple of weeks now but there are 3 major problems I couldnt find described in this forum anywhere.

* cannot connect via USB on WIN10 nor ADB (options enabled of course, ADB TCP works fine, ADB sideload in RecoveryMode works as well)

* pictures made with camera (SDCard as storage enabled) vanish somehow (probably after reboot) - cannot figure out why

* [worst] while calling screen goes dark and is mostly not responding to any button, rarely responding after unknown number or combination of buttons pressed but hard to use since it could turn black again every moment

Clean installing v8 I can confirm first and last problem for sure as well.

Anyone else with this problem, any solution in sight?

Cheers

Wifi problems on GT-i9505

Great ROM, Installed really smooth and flawless. Though today my Wi-Fi and Bluetooth just stopped working. I've tried reflashing the rom and resetting network settings but nothing seems to help. Does anyone have this problem too?

EDIT: Just realized how dumb this post is. Here's more info:

When system boots wifi and bluetooth are both off

When I try to turn on wifi or bluetooth it goes on for 5~10 seconds and then it turns itself of

Installed the ROM yesterday :

1. Installed TWRP 3.2.3-0

2. Cleared old ROM (LineageOS 15.1)

3. Formatted Data, System, and Dalvik Cache

4. Pushed the files for installation via ADB

5. Install rom.zip

6. Add more zips etc. (Following order: rom => gapps => supersu => aroma)

7. Flash

8. Reboot

9. Restore appdata with TitaniumBackup

At this point everything worked perfectly. The problems only started occuring today.

I don't have BusyBox as separate entry, maybe that's the reason. Titanium seems to use BusyBox internally. So you could try to uninstall BusyBox and/or reinstall Titanium. Titanium must request root by itself at app start and shows the root status at the first app page.

It might be that your proximity sensor is dirty (has dust on it). Try to start CPU-Z app (downloadable freely from Play store), then go to "SENSORS" tab and look at Proximity Sensor value while you move over and away your hand from the top side of the phone where the sensor is (at the right near the metallic earpiece). It should change from 8.0 cm to 0.0 cm when you cover the sensor and back from 0.0 cm to 8.0 cm when you uncover it. If this is not happening then, most likely is just dirty. And a possible solution is to blow compressed air through the earpiece in hope it will clean it ...

Upgraded my Sprint Galaxy S4 the other day and it's been pretty smooth and awesome. Thanks.

I did have one issue. I needed to encrypt my phone for a work profile. I did have to do that data resize that was mentioned earlier in the thread because encryption footer need more space. It did work, and it encrypted. When I encrypted I used a pin instead of the pattern because I read somewhere that the encrypted lock screen might be messed up in some way? So that worked fine, but I kind of like the pattern better so I tried to switch. So guess what... the encrypted lock screen for a pattern did come up, but it's so tiny you can't enter the pattern! Anyone else have this issue? I had to wipe and restore my backup.

I mean maybe patterns just don't work at all for the encryption screen or perhaps if I encrypt again I should just go with the pattern straight away?

Unfortunately, this sounds a lot like the dead BT/WiFi chip I once had. Mine probably died because of overheating in the sun. It also comes with notably higher CPU drain since it permanently tries to turn on WiFi.

Soldering experts can try to replace the WiFi chip, all others are better off with a new mainboard - which is what I did.

1. It's not rom bug but windows bug I had the same since win7 - win10 on every phone because windows is broken

You can find solution here in xda forums - this project is called "FWUL" which stands for "forget windows use linux", well I use linux everyday on my laptop but I prefer kde connect (copying files over wifi and other nice features of kde connect) over usb cable it's doable in linux

too many big bugs on the V7:

sometimes reboot when i use google chrome

and on the home, at the bottom, a bug: a bar a little transparent green color is constantly displayed and my screen flickers!

I made the maj V8 hoping that these bugs would be fixed,but they are all still there.

I specify that i followed all the steps of installation to the LETTER to perfection every time

I went back under official lineage os 14.1 under nougat that i had barely 1 year ago, and i refound immediately a perfect rom, without any bugs! Mood app,sms works perfect, google chrome too,no more untimely reboots it's the cream of the cream i savor believe me

I will come back to this rom in 6 months or more, when the users of this rom will have decided to talk, to have the courage to post the same bugs that i have and that inevitably millions of others have also :(

and if the devs arrive of course to correct them, i will be the first to re-install this rom under pie of course
