US Cellular S4 - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

I'm using the USCC version of the galaxy s4 and the root method posted by qbking77 on youtube works. Most know him. Anyways The main reason for this is two fold. One is I didn't see a thread for the USCC version of the S4 started and it uses cdma like sprint (Please feel free to move this where needed) and Second is the USCC version seems to have major problems with GPS. It takes about 15 mins to lock on. Is anyone else getting this issue? Maybe we can get the CM team to help out like they did with the sprint S2. Thanks. If anyone needs more info I will be glad to give it. It's a stock S4 on USCC and the only mod is rooting with the above method.
Just stumbled on the generic S4 thread, mods please feel free to move from sprint to general thread.

I ended up unrooting and did the ota update in hopes that fixed the gps issue. Sadly all it did was minor fixes for the camera and killed root. I was able to flash custom recovery (CWM then used that to flash teamwin) I also figured a temp fix for gps issues. i had to load up the the map set it to my destination and then start navigation. once that was running i slid down the menu bar and toggled the gps shortcut. as long as i do this for every stop it locks right on and works great.

[Q] bell galaxy s UGJG9 vs. UGJH2 differences

Hey guys, my samsung galaxy s has the UGJG9 firmware installed. was just wondering what the difference is between that and the latest one?
New JH2 + SPL fix
Samsung Mobile Canada Thank you for your continued patience on the three-button reset issue. Your feedback is important to us and we are pleased to provide a resolution for Bell Mobility’s GT-I9000. Please find full details posted in the link below.
Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant (GT-I9000) Software Upgrades for Handsets with Original Production Software
A software upgrade is now available for Bell Mobility Galaxy S Vibrant handsets, provided the device has original production software (JG9). The latest version of Kies has been tested and will resolve the three-button recovery issue. Please note, this solution is for Canadian devices only....

Apparently they released the JH2 again but including a SPL fix, so people already on JH2 will need to flash back to JG8 or something, then flash forward to JH2 again to get the new SPL fix
I got JH2 the other day. Yesterday my phone was going retarded, freezing and losing signal when it never had before. Seemed ok last night and today though I haven't spent much time with it today.
GPS was totally out of whack last night, sitting still and my location was jumping all over the place. Google navigation is unusable. Checked compass in GPS essentials and it was fine but in nav it just spins around and can't get it right.
Youtube widget changed. Now shows most viewed on the main bar but video and search buttons are not functioning properly. Right now it only shows the search button. If I search or launch youtube then go back the video button will be there but neither thet nor the search button will work. Wish I had just left it alone.
did you get the update with the spl fix?
and was your 3 button mode working for you before?
if not does it work with the new update?
lol so many questions... and thanks for the replies and the update on the firmware.
Just update dude. Everyone is experiencing various issues regardless of the firmware. I run 3 to 4 times a week using endomondo and the GPS tracks my route almost flawlessly. A few hitches here and there but nothing horrible.
My 3 button combo wasn't working at all and I was already on JH2. Had to do the registry trick to get Kies to flash the new JH2 on my phone and now it works. Upgrading to the new JH2 is the best choice to make, especially if you have plans on using a few mods.
I highly recommend the battery mod available on this forum after you upgrade. The SGS stock battery indicator is horrible and inaccurate, and I rather not waste my homescreen space on a battery widget.
Ya, did the update a few days ago. Three buttons work now and my gps doesnt think im in japan anymore (ya it was that bad) anyway definitely worth the update.
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
My 3 button mode worked before the update, I haven't tried it since. I haven't rooted and not sure yet if I will, will see how official 2.2 goes first.
Still losing signal though. Yesterday the girlfriend tried to call me and said she either got a busy signal (WTF) or it just went straight to voicemail.
Today I tried to make a call and had to redial two or three times because it kept losing signal. Def a problem with the phone and not anything to do with reception in my area. Only phone calls though, never lose signal when using data or market ect.
Guys, I'm a bit dense on this subject so please be kind.
I have JH2 on my Galaxy. I can't remember if I updated to this version via Kies.
So far, the 3-button recovery problem has not affected me. I haven't rooted Android (since I don't need SU rights), I haven't yet unlocked the phone (no need) and I haven't attempted any Android system updates. I guess I could be called an average user. I haven't tested the 3-button issue.
What circumstances could arise down the road, which would make it necessary for me to do a 3-button recovery? In other words, is this a problem which could affect all Galaxy owners?
Thanks.

I updated to JH2 prior to the SPL fix inclusion and found it to be better than JG9...smoother and less lag issues. Just make sure to backup everything.
My phone is still on jg9. It never had the three button issue it always worked for me. If I upgrade to jh2 how will this affect me?

I havent been able to update to JH2 from JG9 (trying to use kies but thats a prize in itself) but I have in the past gotten where I would try to call, and as the call dropped while still dialing it would tell me the radio is off. Or it would tell me im in airplane mode etc.
Now for the last 24 hrs I have yet to be able to make a call, although datta and texting works perfectly fine, every time I make a call it says my radio is off. And the same problem when someone calls, they are lucky if they get a fast busy signal.
Im talking with bell to get a replacement in store, if not I have a 'insurance' plan that'll give me a loaner etc while they ship it out.
Any update on whether your phone is still dropping into Flight mode?

[Q] CyanogenMod 7 ROM for Samsung Captivate

I ran into this article yesterday, How to Flash CyanogenMod 7 ROM Samsung Captivate AT&T, and felt it was about time to learn about this. Plenty of you have already ROOTED your phones, and know from experience, what to do. But, I don't. Right now, I'm stuck with the options of accepting things don't work right, because of AT'T's unwillingness, or inabilility, to correct the issues I have, or reinsiall new, and lose all I've put on, or send back to Samsung for repair, and have them lose all I have on it, or try Rooting and adding a ROM, that may solve my issues. But to do that, I need a little help in understanding it.
First, if I try and run a program, like CyanogenMod 7, and it doesn't work correctly, snd screws up my phone, is there a way I can reinstall Android, and start over, or is that the proverbial kiss of death for my Captivate, and I'm stuck with it like that?
Second, is this the right ROM to try? AT&T can't fix my BLOCKS, of UNKNOWN APPS. The Settings change is easy, you click on activating Unknown, in Application settings..., unless you have no UNKNOWN, to choose. Also, in MMS settings, AT&T shows in a tutorial, that you have the option, of activating Delivery Report and Read Report. It shows this as plain as day, on that tutorial for the Captivate, yet mine, has NEITHER OF THOSE OPTIONS. Also, to TURN ON EDGE, the setting is missing, so I can't activate EDGE, which I guess is no big thing, since the towers AT&T has for us to connect with, THAT ARE 2G, are in such poor condition, no one can connect to them. Thank you, WIFI, for helping me get, ONLINE. Will this, or other ROM's, solve this for me?
If there are any suggestions of how to do this, and what to use, I'd appreciate hearing it from you. Again, I thank any effort, to help me.
1.cm 7 would not be the best rom to flash for your first time.
2. All roms are android, you are running at&t/samsung version of an android rom...
3. Yes you can get back to your stock rom if you don't like/something goes wrong (other than a bad bootloader flash)
4.all custom roms have all the blocking done by at&t removed so switching to 2g(edge) is possible and also faster 3g speeds known as hspa. And unknown sources is in the settings so you can install apps from outside the market.
5.the threads at the top of every section with a little thumb tacks are called stickies, give those a read through.
Like he said above. If you want the pretty much stock experience that your used to but want it fixed then I would suggest starting off with Cognition 4.4 or whatever it is now.
Sent from My KickAss Captivated CM7 OC'd 1.55Ghz/Undervolted
From newbie to a newbie, I took the advice of others and read threads for atleast a month before I flashed my first rom. My choice was Andromeda3, It has a written tutorial and a video on how to from start to finish. From what tools or apps you will need and how to use them , I watched that atleast 6 times and also while I was flashing the kernel and the rom. It may have been overkill but my flash was perfect and I'm real happy with my phone now. You may not go with the same rom I did but do your self a favor and do what I did to prepare for your first flash.

[Q] Trouble with no calls or text

My girlfriends D3 has gradually been getting worse with poor reception, dropping calls, not being able to make/receive calls or texts.
Data seems to work fine. This weekend it just finally stopped being able to make calls or send texts from our home.
If i drive a few miles down the road or to a higher elevation i was barely able to call *228 to update roaming.
I can still use the browser over 3G and Wifi, just no tethering, phone or text.
The phone shows 3G and a full signal, but as soon as i initiate a call it drops to 1 bar.
Another thing we noticed this morning is that when calling the phone it goes straight to voicemail.
I had tried changing the Network mode from Global to CDMA yesterday and at one point got an error message saying "No CDMA networks were found. Would you like to switch to Global Mode?"
Phone has been rebooted and battery pulled along with some other diagnostic tests that the verizon techs did over the phone yesterday.
The only thing i had done to this phone was i applied the TBH tethering hack without root over a year ago. It worked fine up until now.
The phone has the latest System version 5.7.906.XT862 and the latest Baseband N_03.18.32P.
Im thinking of reverting the TBH Tethering hack back using the instructions in this post
I spoke to Verizon tech support yesterday and they said there was some trouble in our area, but my Droid X is still able to connect so i doubt thats the issue.
Does anyone think that an OTA update from Verizon may have screwed something up due to the TBH hack being applied?
The GF is frantic about getting her phone back. I can take out insurance for 6.99 pr/month and pay $100 to get her a new phone, but if reverting the TBH hack and maybe rooting and installing a new ROM might help, im all for it.
Any thoughts? ROM advice? Was reading up about the AOKP Build 40 ROM, but wondering if all the hoop jumping will help or if the D3 has a hardware issue that has just got progressively worse.
Wont you help a poor guy keep the peace with his lady please?
I don't think it's that. It's possible that the 3G in the area is good but 1x is crap. 3G is just used for data while calls/texts are used on 1x. What is the PRL versions your phone and her phone have?

My Droid X running on VXLR V2.2.0: PRL 53018
Her Droid 3 Stock w/TBH Tethering Hack: PRL 52996
Just tried updating them both and the PRL's stayed the same.
About an hour ago i was in the middle of backing up her phone and it started ringing. I was able to answer the call and now im able to make and receive texts and calls. There must have been a tower issue. The signal still drops to 2 bars when i initiate a call, but at least its working again.
She says its been flaky for quite a while with dropping calls and texts not getting sent. Im all backed up and was thinking of rooting and trying a ROM on this. Not sure if itll help with signal issues, dropped calls or texts not being sent or received.
She was also complaining about the thing pocket dialing, and other random stuff happening like her browser launching and texts being sent etc. I saw it this morning. I picked up her phone to bring it downstairs and saw that there was a text reply box open with a bunch of jibberish typed in it. She says that sort of thing happens all the time.
Think maybe a good stable ROM might help?
After a little more research i came across Minimoto here at XDA. Minimoto Link
Seems to be the way to go if im sticking to a GB ROM. I see you contributed some to it. Would you happen to know where some step by step instructions for getting it installed on a non rooted D3 might be?
1) Root it.
2) Install Safestrap 3.05.
3) Reboot to it, create ROM-Slot 1.
4) Factory reset and wipe cache and delvik.
5) Flash the ROM.
6) Set her up with goodness.
Though if random crap is popping up, I suspect the digitizer is flaky.

Have you heard of digitizer issues with D3's before?
Any recommendations on which rooting method to use?
Do i have to remove the TBH Tether hack before rooting, installing Safestrap or Flashing the ROM?
So i take it your in agreement that this would be a good choice for a stable no frills GB ROM?
the random stuff can be from from a bad digitizer, dirt/grime on digitizer/edge or a software conflict
try cleaning screen around the edge, and/or flash rom/sbf
you need to remove bootstrap before safestrap, tbh hack should be fine
i haven't use minmo, but many have, also you could look at

Thanks sd_shadow I think ill stick with minimo most likely. Too many dam ROMS to choose from!.
Ok so from the hours of reading i did yesterday, i found a working link for motofail. It appears it is the best (or only) way to root the D3 if on 906.
From there i thought i could just install Safestrap 3.05 which i managed to track down as well.
I never installed Bootstrap, so does this even apply? Is there a factory bootstrap included with the D3?
I believe i read that minimoto has its own tethering feature included. So are we sure i dont have to revert the TBH tethering hack?
Some great links in your signature by the way. If the digitizer keeps acting up, i may try replacing it. I did clean it last night and will see if things improve.

Just install safestrap on your safe system after root don't worry about bootstrap.

No

No you do not have to undo the tether hack it is a hardwear hack not a software hack and will work on any rom no matter if the rom already has tethering in it.

Difference between Rapture and Arcadia
Guys, I'm fairly new to this, and new to Note 4.
Was looking for a ROM and came across the Rapture and Arcadia. Is the main difference the base used? T-Mobile /Canadian? Or am I missing a bigger picture?
From the Arcadia thread:
Yea I think so too. This build is based on the Canadians firmware AND it has the ability to self clean every 7 days. Rapture is based on Tmobile build. I guess not much difference. Either ROM is a killer.

Issue/Question RE: waking phone
I am having trouble with "waking" the phone.
When I press the power button it usually takes 2-3 seconds for the phone to turn or "wake." The home button does the same, lags to turn phone on.
This happens at any point of the day: when full battery, halfway through battery, low battery, during charging. Reboots do not seem to help.
I installed ROM clean also, anyone know what to do or what could be causing this?

Bluetooth issue in Samsung Galaxy Note 4 4.4.4. I found the post below I use a Motorola sliver 2, my phone before nexus 5 had no such issue, sometimes sounds like I'm in a tin can and fades out on short distance from phone. My question do you believe it could be the stated issue and does Arcadia address this issue.
finally have information (but not a fix) as to why my Note 4 is having bluetooth connection problems on my 2014 Nissan Altima. The Nissan bluetooth department told me that it's a known Samsung issue that they're working on. Apparently, the Note 4 and Edge all use the newest AVCRP 1.5, which nobody else uses yet. Nissan told me that they were told my Samsung, that in their next update, they're going to revert the phones back to AVCRP 1.3, which is the standard in the industry. I don't know when that will happen, but at least I know why now. I have no idea what AVCRP is, by the way. I'm just relaying the info from bluetooth support.
N910w8 csc problem
Hi, I just did a clean install, arcadia v4.1 (oc4)
I am on telus (TLS) but, when i was done with the clean flash, i realized that it had bell (BMC) as CSC.
of course I went to CSC setting *#272^IMEI# to install TLS but, When automatically booted to TWRP to install the CSC,
It keeps on giving 'FAILED' error on TWRP. Since I do not know much about the inner workings of these stuff,
I just can guess that it's either TWRP acting up or there seems to be some quirk with how roms sets up the CSC codes.
If anybody can chime in and help me out! it's greatly appreciated!

"Unfortunately WiFi has stopped working" (Plentiful details included)

So I have the T-Mobile variant of the LG G4. I had it unlocked straight from the carrier a while ago and all seemed well. Recently I noticed a huge amount of battery drain and 4G LTE usage from T-Mobile's pre-installed apps--mainly com.tmobile.pr or something which is the "My Account" app (imagine being at 60% left with 27% of the drain having been an app and only 9% the screen. Yeah, it was that bad)
This I obviously found unacceptable, so I went ahead to try and uninstall the bloatware. Lo, much to my dismay, Tmobile has locked it down so you can't uninstall the bloatware, and you can only disable it. This alone irked me enough that I wasn't satisfied with just a disabling. I knew I wouldn't rest until I had obliterated it.
I've had plenty of android phones over the years and done my fair share of rooting and flashing ROMs and the like, but I hadn't touched that aspect of my G4 because I wanted a dependable device for school and I didn't want to mess around with it. I knew I'd have to root it to get rid of the tmobile bloatware so I went and did that using the Low effort root method (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/orig-development/root-tmo-vzw-intl-variants-soon-root-lg-t3164765). When this was done a lot of my background processes started to continuously crash. I decided to go ahead and put TWRP as the custom recovery and just go ahead and get some dependable 6.0 ROM, and I found a couple of them.
When I flashed the first ROM, the play store services were crashing so I found the google apps package for marshmallow and flashed that too. It seemed to fix the issue. Yet when I would click on my School's WiFi at the setup (which is WPA2 Enterprise) it would crash and say "Unfortunately WiFi has stopped working." I thought that perhaps I mucked something up in the flashing of the ROM, or that maybe there was an issue with the ROM in general, so I decided to just flash another ROM entirely (after factory resetting it all the way). Along the same time as this I found a slightly more modified and feature packed version of marshmallow by this lad here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/development/h815-genisys-rom-1-0-classic-v10g-t3192649). I decided to go ahead and use this one since it had a h811 version there, that involved flashing a h815 and then flashing a patch.
The "Unfortunately WiFi stopped working" issue persisted, however. I found this odd. I then noticed that if I click any other network that ISN'T the WPA2 enterprise network my school is working that everything seems to work fine.
I went ahead and factory reset it all the way again in the hopes that would fix it. No luck.
I booted it to safe mode and tried to connect to the WiFi network from there. No luck.
I downloaded a third party WiFi app off cellular and tried to connect from there. No luck.
I can't enter the WiFi's name and try to enter directly because it crashes there too.
I can't "Forget" the network as it's never joined that network before so there's nothing to forget. It does let me enter the advanced options but a direct press causes it to crash.
So throughout ROMs and wipes and safe modes and all, this one issue has persisted, where my phone's WiFi will crash when it tries to connect to my school's WPA2 Enterprise network. I've tried plentiful fixes short of flashing back to a 5.0/5.11 stock (which I'm hesitant to do because I read something about phones bricking after they downgrade from Marshmallow using the .kdz files or something?).
I'd really appreciate any help that y'all can provide. I've read these forums for ages but this will be my first time making an account because I can't find anybody else with the same issue and its proving to be quite a pain.
tl;dr wifi isn't working with only one particular network and no fix I've tried under this sun has worked so far. help will be appreciated pls

I have not tried that rom but ill be sure to give it a go, hoping it will help solve the issue. I did some additional testing and can confirm the issue lies with all WiFi networks that employ WPA2 Enterprise security.
Will there be any issue with the Rom when downgrading from Android 6.0? I was reading about phone's bricking when trying to downgrade certain versions or bootloaders on the tmobile variants.
I'm pretty sure going back to stock 5.1 will be fine. The Tmo variant hasnt been upgraded to 6.0 yet and the ports don't update the bootstacks. Read here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-g4/development/global-marshmallow-6-0-port-to-h811-t3232760
Update: It seems that any Android 6.0 flash cuts off the ability to connect to Enterprise wireless networks. I went ahead and flashed to the debloated stock rom on the thread you mentioned, but it cut off the ability to record video. As such, I went for the xTreme version that you mentioned, and flashed the camera restores and all.
Everything works fine now as far as I can tell. I also got rid of the Tmobile applications draining the battery and all that. All should be well. Thanks again for the help
