Video Calling - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I purchased a Galaxy S4 here in Mexico (SGH-I337M), and everything is working just well, I rooted the device just fine, and all is good and smooth, my only concern is that I do not have video calling capabilities and I was wondering if any of you have the same problem, perhaps this particular model does not have that thing available, but I'm just want to know.
If any of you could corroborate this to me, I'll appreciate that.
Btw, I flashed my S4 with the Canadian Roger firmware but it's still the same.
Please HELP ME!!!

Im from Puerto Rico and I dont have it..I dont know why

Try flashing a ROM from the International S4 forum, looks like this one has it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2272253 but just make sure that you make a nandroid backup or have the stock odin ROM in case that you need to return to stock. Flash it at your own risk

Thanks man, but do you know if I'm going to still have LTE radios, or I'm going to lose the conectivity in order to have the video calls?

[Q] Trying to determine/download stock modem...

Hello everyone,
Sorry if this is a stupid question. Did quite a bit of searching and can't seem to find the answer.
Is there a way to determine what the stock modem is (potentially in *#0011#?), and where to download that modem so I can re-flash it?
Thanks,
Brett

My apologies... that's my fault.
I have the I337 (AT&T), 32gb if it matters. I did see that thread... but what confused me was the CWM in the file name, which made me think it was a modified modem for clockwork recovery mod.
My device is completely stock... not even rooted. I flashed it with ODIN to the most recent PDA revision (L). Played around with the network unlock and what not, but my OCD is taking over and I just want to flash the modem back to stock with ODIN.

My apologies. I more so focused on not posting in one of the developer threads and completely overlooked the 'question' one.
Looks like the modem wasn't what I was after, nor did I realized the modem was automatically flashed with reflashing the firmware. I reflashed the 'L' revision of our firmware via Odin and say 'modem.bin' flashed as one of the steps automatically.
I guess what I was trying to restore to default was what I changed with the SIM unlock and enabling the AWS, but I know all I changed with the SIM unlock was the one 'off' setting and NV restore as per golden backup. Then I simply reflashed the (QCC or NV) file I backed up as per one of the steps in the AWS enable thread... and that's good enough for me.
Thanks everyone for your help.

Simple question

Hi Guys,
I would like to know if it's possible to flash a international rom into the Note 4 USA Tmobile ?, I would have a phone whitout garbage Tmobile
do you know this is possible to make that ?
Thank you
I will have a ViSiON-X International rom done this weekend, I will post it in the tmo note4 forum when it is ready. Answer is, yes.
The vision X is a no samsung room ? because I would like stay on the samsung room for the update lollipop
I could be wrong but I thought three US had Snapdragon and international was Exynos. In which case it's probably not a good idea to try
No, do NOT flash an international ROM on your T-Mobile Note 4. Only flash firmwares meant for your device model.

Can't you disable the apps you do not want?
Go to Settings > Application Manager, then scroll all the way right to the ALL tab.
Find the applications you do not want and press on each of them. There may be a Disable button.
If you disable an app, it stops running on your phone, you can't see it in your app drawer, it's the next best thing to uninstalling. People have reported success in debloating with this method, see here.
If that is not enough, you can root and uninstall those apps with, for example, Titanium Backup.
Thank you for your answer

I have this phone since last September and really regret that I bought it. Even though it looks like and feels like a normal 9505 or 9500 model, due to its specifications you can not use any custom rom of more common variants. (No Cyanogen, No Miui, No any other well known custom rom). Do not even try flashing 9505 or 9500 roms, I managed to soft brick my phone already with them.
There is almost zero support for this product in forums or if there is any it is in Korean language. The only custom rom I came across is TeamLeader rom, which is a cleaner stock rom practically, getting rid of Samsung's bloatware, but nothing special, same user experience.
IIRC the SHV-E300 is the Galaxy S4 LTE-A and more or less the same device as the ks01lte. So take a look in the i9506 section, there you will find some custom ROMs for your phone, some already LP-based.
I recommend arters 97's CM12, he is doing a great job on this phone.

don't install any custom rom for now if you want everything in working order.
and If u want to upgrade to lollipop, just download firmware of another s4 with same configuration from sammobile.com
I think yours is Korean and it will not get 5.0
OK Guys I don't know if any body knows this already but i have found a ROM for SHV-E300L here:

First of all, lets get something straight. Most people use the term "bricked" improperly. A bricked phone means one thing: your phone won't turn on in any way, shape or form, and there's nothing you can do to fix it. It is, for all intents and purposes, as useful as a brick. A phone stuck in a boot loop is not bricked, nor is a phone that boots straight into recovery mode. These are things you can usually fix, and they're a lot more common than a truly bricked phone. If your phone is actually bricked, you won't be able to fix it yourself (but there are things you can do
If Your Phone Is Truly Bricked: Take It Into the Store and Play Dumb
If your phone is actually bricked—that is, it won't turn on at all, no matter how hard you try—it's time to give up and move on. The first thing you can do in this situation is try to take it back to your carrier's store and play dumb—just say something like "I don't know what happened, but my phone won't turn on anymore" (don't tell them you rooted it, obviously). Most carriers don't have time to deal with such issues and they'll just give you a new phone. Sure, it's a tad evil, but it should work most of the time

I know my IMEI and S/N how can I fix it.

With all do respect.... I don't think he was bashing anyone....he was just saying he flashed a ROM that wasn't posted to XDA...more than likely there wasn't any other option to ask for help elsewhere since XDA is very helpful with responses from developers and others.
I was wondering if anyone that is overseas (outside america) could share an EFI backup partition with me so I can fix my phone. Maybe that would fix.
keep watching the echorom thread someone else had the issue as well.
I cant they banned me from seeing their forum when I reported the bug.
O I see. If something gets posted that might help I'll let you know. But 1 thing I saw already is trying to flash multiple times with Odin
It might not work the first time. Or the second... or the third. Try like 10 times in the mean time until someone can help. If all else fails there has to be a way to make a working imei again since you know it anyway

This happened to me before in a old Tmobile S3 (T999) I had only edge network...
It was a headache and I was only able to put it back working going to a store that had BOX for flashing and do it myself with their box
and rewrite my IMEI manually during flash, as they were not able to do it (more say didn't have patience) .
I dunno if there is a easier way to do it... but this was how I fixed mine back then. But one thing is true, I lost a lot of time back then trying to fix it and if it happens me now again I would do a quick search and if not quick solution, try to find a guy that owns a box as it will literally save you days and sleep. However there are excellent devs around so they might be able to help..

Quick question. What csc is in your phone now? Have to tried changing it again with a new one or the one that was originally on it when you got it? Like a flashable zip? Cos it looks like somehow the one you used must corrupt something in the efs... which is bizzare

I went to local store that usually unlocks/fixes phones, but I had a friend connection around.. hence they allowed me to go inside and do it myself.
Try to search 1st around if there is a solution, as it might be... I can't remember how it happened to my phone, but I was flashing lots of ROM without a problem and then it happened for some reason. There is a reason for it, however I couldn't find it as my knowledge is limited. I do remember that I tried, stock, odin, kies, whatever... and nothing worked until I went to try with a BOX.
IF you can't find a quick solution try to search around physical stores that flash phones, as they usually have a BOX and probably they might pull the S7 image already for their box... try to search a friendly one and take the purchase papers with you as most are not very comfortable with anything that might involve IMEI if you odn't know anybody.

It was the German based CSC
G935FDBT1APC5
However I flashed back STOCK which has
G935FNZC1APAX
The bizzare thing is my phone appears to still get a signal, but emergency calls only. When I #06# It shows 00000000000000 for 2 MEIDs. Which is weird as I don't have a dual sim model. This is even after Odin stock, no root.

Fair enough, I still have the original purchase, I got it from overseas, receipt, and sticker still on the phone. Even the box. at the same time i was wondering if anyone overseas, (not in the usa) would be willing to backup EFS and PM me with a G935F because I could use that meid in the usa. I have no intentions of going overseas to Europe anytime soon but I might go abroad if its oceana or Asia.

Flash this NB1 file with Odin. This is the file I use when my phone got soft-brick. If you phone is AT&T (SGH-i337) as you said , you will not have a problem.
