Home2Shortcut

Anyone having issues with Home2Shortcut ? I have used this on my S3 to make Google voice search come up w/ a doublepress of the main button. With the S4, looks like it does not want to work - S-Voice keeps coming up even though I have Voice Search selected and have Home2Shortcut set as a default.
Just curious if anyone has got it working.

S voice is setup to start up by default with the double tap of home button. Go to S Voice App> Settings > Uncheck double tap to start s voice. I did this as soon as I got phone then disabled svoice without clearing its data to avoid the lag when hitting home key

That did it! Thank you my friend.

i totally disabled s voice...i setup home2 but now when i double click on the home button, i see a window open and close and its saying "say call followed by a name or a number" any ideas?

What app are you linking to? Should be Voice Search, linked to home key > App.

[Q] Flash button for 3-way calling?

Okay, I'm rooted with the Negalite Aroma ROM. I rooted the second I got the GS4. Does the Stock OS come with a flash button to click over if you're on a 3-way call? I have no clue how to click over on this ROM.
(I don't have enough posts to reply in the Negalite thread, and I've search on these forums as well as Google)

Tap call icon and slide to the right to answer the call.
Tap call icon and slide to the right to answer the next call.
Tap Putting “Name/Number” on hold to put the first call on hold.
Join the first two callers into a single multi-party call by tapping Merge icon.
To temporarily leave the conference call, tap Hold icon. To rejoin the conference call tap Unhold icon.
Tap End call icon to end the call.
Try that and let me know how that works for you.

Ok.. Now I tried it I don't think that will work, but you can try it too. On stock there is a "add call" button from the screen when you're in a call. When you hit that button it opens up the dialer again. Then you are able to call another number, after that you just merge the calls together.

i have been desperately trying to find a solution to this.
this feature is available on AOSP based roms (and works) and it's also available on stock S4's from other carriers like T-mobile and ATT. Sprint is removing this feature for no reason.
Maybe it's possible to port the in call dialer from another carrier.

Go into Wanam and under the phone menu there is an option to restore the add call function.

[Q] Having a problem with the free unlock . Service Mode: Limited

Hey I am having an issue with the free unlock for my Fido S4 running 4.2.2 . It isn't rooted to my knowledge but when I go through the first step of dialing the *#0011# And theni press menu back, menu key input 1, then press menu back... I don't get booted into the UMTS Main Menu. Nothing happens. I did look at the screen shots for the free unlock guide and i think the main difference in where is says service mine says 'Service: Limited" instead of "Service :Active" . Has anyone else run into this problem? Or does anyone know why my phone would say "Service: Limited"?
Here is a screen shot. Thanks in advance.

After you press menu key input and enter 1 press OK and just wait a few seconds. You don't press menu back after entering the 1

Facebook Messenger bug on LG G2?

Hi all,
I just want to check whether the latest Facebook Messenger app (v3.1.1) has the "free call" option enabled on your device?
When you go to a specific message thread and press the 'menu' soft button, there should be a pop up menu that allows you to make free data calls to your contact. This is the default action on other devices.
When I press the menu button, nothing happens. (no pop up menu at all)
This is happening on my friend's LG G2 as well. I'm wondering whether it's a device specific bug..

Hmm, never heard of this "free call" option of which you speak. Sounds interesting, but I am guessing it's just not available for this device because it doesn't do anything when I hit the menu button either.

Thanks for confirming.

They are roiling it out slowly. Not all is the update has been rolled out. Just like not everyone have gotten the sms rollout.

Bug persists?
Hello, I seem to be experiencing this bug on my month old LG G2, did any of you find a solution to this?

[Q] Urgent Cannot return to CDMA mode after international SIM usage

Hello everyone,
In the last 4 months I have been using a foreign SIM card. Last night I came home, and I cannot return to CDMA mode and resume use of my normal Sprint service. I cannot change the network type in the settings (screenshots attached)
I was told that I might need to do a complete factory reset, but honestly I would hate to do that and find out that my foreign SIM card will no longer work for some reason.
My question: Is there any way to reset the mobile network settings to Sprint factory defaults? I have a feeling that the foreign SIM modified settings unbeknownst to me.
Attachments:
In the first picture, you can see that the menu has the option to change to CDMA EVDO LTE, but once that's selected, it doesn't enact any changes. I am not able to revert to CDMA mode.
Hope you guys can help! Thanks in advance.

Another symptom:
All ##****# hidden menus no longer work.

Try *#0011# instead. It will present you with a debug screen. Press the left soft key (menu button that glows) and select "key input", type the number 1 and press OK, the press the left soft key again and select "back". Repeat this until the screen changes to a different menu. Once at the new menu press the left soft key and back one more time. You should see a selection for cdma, press that then select common. Press next page twice and on the third page there should be an option for "pref mode set", select that, then select cdma/lte (or something similar I can't remember off the top of my head), reboot the phone and you should be back to norm.
However if your phone somehow took an update when you got home from traveling and Is on mja now, you might have to to a clean wipe and odin a full modem/kernal/rom.
Let me know if this works!

Ah, regretfully, I never got in to bitcoins!
Anyways, I had another question. How do I revert to stock completely? I would like to get to the point where I can use the original dialer codes (still won't work). I do have data now, but 3434 or 3282 don't work. Also, cannot update profiles OTA/download updates. (See screenshot)
Also, what is the magic OTA that locks your phone? MJA? I'm still on MDL, but I wouldn't mind upgrading if it would benefit me at all.

Oh, I'm not out of the woods yet.
Cannot receive calls/texts, but I can make them. Also, cannot attempt to re-activate the phone, saying there's no network.
