Loss of data?

I added a line to my girls account to get this phone. I've had problem since day one that I foolishly never took care of before the fourteen days. If I go into certain areas of town or sometimes even just on its own regardless I'll lose 3G and get error code 67. Updating prl or profile don't work, airplane mode, restarting the phone, nothing. It either kicks back in by its self in a couple hours or sprint has to be called to refresh the data. Anyone else have this issue? I'm wondering if it's just my phone or if it's my account. Happens across all roms and on stock too.

Are they upgrading the towers in your area? Here in Denver 3g keeps going in and out, 4g lte finally started popping up about 20 blocks north of my house

I've looked into it several times and I don't think so. My city isn't even on the list of cities scheduled to receive new towers soon. That would be great lol but I don't think it's the case.

Where did you check. Go to S4gru.com for LTE deployment info.

You can call Sprint they can do things on their end that might help to.

Rochester /Upstate NY..... Yeah about the only way to ever fix the problem is by calling Sprint or waiting for it to fix it's self whenever it feels like but it seems to happen again and again regardless. I forgot to include this usually just initiates when the phone starts updating the prl and profile by its self (can't figure out if it's by areas I go into or completely random) and either fails or loses data even after being successful.

[Q] S4 Actkve Sim Unlock? Service mode Menu

Can the s4 active be unlocked with the service mode menu?

anyone knows?

Seriously, you guys need to add your device to your user profile. Going to be hard to get help otherwise.

If you read the title of the thread you can clearly see that im asking for the s4 active, thanks.

Been trying to do this using the servicemode method everyone is describing for the S4.
Phone will not go into the UMTS menu mode as described.
Some have said that a recent update killed this method?

Yes. I cannot get into the service mode. The phone reboots.

Roam Control update

Roam control has been updated for the Nexus 5. This is probably more targeted for those who are using sprint. I'd just thought I'd share.
My reason for roam control is because I can't obtain any service at work and roam forces me on Verizon when I need it most good stuff!

I just purchased Roam Control and it doesn't seem to be working for me on my Sprint Nexus 5.. I'm wondering if others have had any success with this? Hm could it have anything to do with me running Cataclysm ROM.

Praise be to Roam Control. Battery gets hammered for me at work this always helped out tons on my old phone. Fully functional for me on Sprint.

So I did get it working. When my phone is on LTE, it refuses to force roam. But after I set my phone to use 3G, it does switch over to Verizon roaming.
But my roaming download speeds are very, very slow... With a Galaxy S4, I was able to directly switch to a Verizon PRL which gave me speedy Verizon 3G..

I'm having trouble getting Roam Control to work on CM11. It worked fine on stock, but on every CM11 nightly I've tried it on it seems to not want to stick on roaming. Anyone else having this problem?

It should still roam for voice, even if you're connected to sprint lte

You don't even need roam control. if you know how to get into the "phone info" menu (Nova shortcut) then on the overscroll menu select radio bands. Put it on 800 mHz and you'll be roaming

I don't want to use a nova shortcut. I want to press the "Roam" button on the widget and start roaming!

Good for you for not wanting a viable always working alternative
And I'm pretty sure vzw doesn't use band class 10 so that's a moot point

When I played with the band settings on my photon q to force roaming it seemed to bork the phone's ability to connect to 1x800 on Sprint, so i'm a little leery about messing with them again. But thanks for kind of helping in this roam control thread.
I emailed the dev.. Will report back if I get a response.

How do you get to the "phone info" menu? Isn't Nova a launcher?

What a bummer. Only for Sprint phones. I need something like this to force my tmo to roam on att when I know it's there

LTE symbol gone SM-W9008

forgive me if this has been solved somewhere else but i have spent nearly 2 hours trying to figure this out but to no avail.
the details of my device are below.
model: SM-900W8
Build: MJ4
Carrier: Rogers
android ver: 4.3
stock rooted
now this all started a month ago i realized the LTE symbol had disappeared. i live in an area with LTE coverage and places where i go that i normally get LTE now i only see a 4G symbol. the most recent changes i have made to the device was installing wanam and xposed installer.
by no means am i suggesting that any of these mods contributed to my loss of LTE, just simply stating the most recent changes i made to the phone before this has happened.
i checked my data/property file and i dont see the persist.radio.lteon file. im not sure if i ever had because i didnt check until i started researching this problem but it would make sense if i did.
anyhow now ive only been getting 4G 3G H+ thats it, no LTE.
in my settings LTE/GSM/WCDMA is selected
anyone have any idea what may have gone wrong?

Have you changed roms? Different carriers have different CSC files that contain the icons that you are talking about.
My guess, is the rom you are using says 4G as your LTE. To verify, do a speedtest in an LTE area. Additionally, you can go to SETTINGS>ABOUT>STATUS and look for LTE in the Mobile network type area.
If it says lte, then I wouldn't worry about it.

No I didn't change roms, I'm still on stock rogers MJ4. I used to get the LTE, just all of a sudden for the past month I haven't. It's strange, I haven't performed any mods other than wanam, and xposed.
In settings it shows LTE/GSM/WCDMA selected.
And one thing I know with rogers network is when you're on 4G it's 4G, and LTE is LTE, they are 2 different speeds. And the LTE is not showing. I downloaded some app I think its called vaireo, something like that and it shows I was on LTE14. Not sure what went wrong here

Yea I uninstalled it rebooted and still the same, strange thing is that in app/property persist.radio.lteon is gone. I believe it's an xml file from what I've been reading. Tbh I can't say for certain that I had that there before but it does make sense to have had it no?

I don't know but am pretty sure that Wanam has to do something with the network.
Yesrerday I installed Wanam at 10 PM with Xposed rebooted it. So I noticed after that the time has advanced 1 hour to 11 PM (wrong time),I checked date and time settings and everything was on defualt set on automatic network time and automatic time zone but the zone is changed, werid right?

Try this go to Xposed >> framework >> uninstall then reboot your phone, if didn't work do a factory reset
Sent from my SM-N9005 using Tapatalk

Would anyone actually be able to upload a copy of their persist.radio.lteon file?
Is like to try and move it into my data/property folder and see what will happen

yea ive tried that but still no luck

Figured it out. Had the same issue.
Go into system/csc/ and change the file name of feature.xml to "feature.xml.backup". Should solve the issue.

I don't know this will be helpful, I was on 4.3 stock rom of my country, I was getting 4g in Notification bar, after changing to Poland kitkat I can see lte never seen 4g, up to now I was thinking 4g is lte.

[Q] Haptic Feedback won't work

Help!!! I have a VZW note 3, latest ota, rooted with towelroot, and no matter what I try no vibration whatsoever will work. Navigation keys, notifications, nothing will work. I have battery saver off and have already hard reset the phone. Any ideas on what's wrong? Thanks in advance!!!!

Not even a phone call? What about when you set it to vibrate does it buzz in?
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

Absolutely nothing will vibrate no matter what volume mode... any ideas??? P.S. it was working when I first got my hands on the phone then we updated to the kitkat ota and it completely stopped. Even after a hard reset.

It could have been a bad flash. You should try using kies to reflash the official software.
Sent from my SM-N900V using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

I just did. Nothing still. I'm guessing now I have to go rip open my phone and replace the vibration motor?

If your Knox counter isn't tripped I would just warranty a new one...
