Hey guys,
I was wondering if any of you GPe S4 users on T-Mobile could tell if you can use HD-voice with this version. If so, is there any way to turn amr-wb codec on, as it is on the regular TW S4 via service mode?
Thanks
I forgot to ask, is the google play edition sold as one variant or are there 2 variants for each carrier?
Were you ever able to figure it out? I'm running danvdk rom 4.4.2 on my tmo galaxy s4 and the hd voice is really bothering me, i want to hear in HD!

I'm running GPe 5.0.1 on a T-Mobile S4, and HD voice is not working. It does work on the same phone and network with the factory ROM. Looking for a way to get it working with GPe. They advertise that HD voice is enabled on this ROM so I'm not sure why it's not working. Any tips are appreciated!!

Hi all,
I am thinking about buying the new Pure google S4 thats coming out, but i am not sure if it will work on the uk networks.
Does anyone know if it will work in the uk (the 3 and vodaphone networks)?.
Seeing it works on tmobile USA and AT&T is it possible to know what frequencies it operates on???.
Thanks
Corey
Yes it will. It's just an i9505.

Which version is the international version of the Galaxy S5, which will probably have better support and faster release of custom ROMS ?
Thanks,

You can also wait for the S5 Google Play Edition which is carrier unlocked and unbranded. The Galaxy S4 Google edition works on AT&T, T-Mobile, and around the world. There’s no contract required, and you can use it on a variety of carriers in the US, and abroad. So, basically, the S5 will work the same.

LTE doesn't work around the world. Only on TMO and ATT US.
Hi folks,
Sorry for the somewhat cryptic title. My question is simple:
Can I just buy a non-ATT/Verizon S4 without locked bootloader, ROM it up with any ROM I like without having to stick to safestrap-compatible ones, then apply the I337 build.prop APN flash, and have it work on ATT and identify itself to the Google Play store as an I337?
The reason I ask is I'm getting tired of the limitations on my I337 for use with various ROMs, and it might be worth it for me to buy an unlocked variant of the S4 on Swappa, then sell mine off. Sure, it would cost a few bucks, but then I could play with any ROM I want.
I just want to make sure that I'll be able to download the specific Apps I use from ATT etc. that seem to require the I337 model...
Am I missing anything?
Marc
I haven't even researched that. But, Verizon is CDMA. Maybe an unlocked TMobile phone would work. I know you can run their roms on att S4.
Right. I was looking at a T-Mobile device most likely, or an international unlocked version.
I understand the challenges working with Verizon devices... I just returned to ATT from Verizon and had to give up my RAZR MAXX HD due to poor compatibility between the networks.
But, if I understand correctly, I can get a T-Mobile or pretty much any other carrier phone with bootloader unlocked (other than Verizon, which wouldn't be unlocked and is CDMA-specific), and it should work on ATT once the APN info is entered. I'm just looking for explicit confirmation it works, and that the phone can pretend to be an I337 so my software will install properly...
Thanks all!
Marc
not sure on specifics as i haven't tried. i know some here have and will reply--:good:

The rom of 337 might work on other variants; however, if you ever want to flash an rom, the pure samsung rom of I9505 might be a better choice; And also, if you buy a non-att variant s4, you might loose 4G data connection, even 3G, because they are simply not compatible with att network (hardware limitation), so please be careful before you make the buy; The other question, by now, I couldn't find a way to 'cheat' google play to identify a phone to att i337. If you really like those apps from att, you can always download them from other app sources other from google play.
Godd luck!

Thanks Wzhao.
My intent would be to be able to flash non-Samsung ROMS (like AOSP etc.), non-touchwiz ROMs.
And definitely I would have to buy a phone with ATT-style hardware in terms of antennas/frequency. I believe the T-Mobile ones meet this requirement but it's unclear whether I would need to get the phone SIM-unlocked to use it on ATT.
As for identifying a phone as the ATT I337: My experience using Hyperdrive (briefly) was that it identified the phone as a Verizon phone... Google play wouldn't let me install apps that were ATT specific. I believe that flashing the ATT build.prop settings fix this, but doing so messed up Hyperdrive because it interfered with the Hyperdrive Tweaks utility. There are several build.prop settings that identify the phone... the simplest of them SHG-I337 in some particular location isn't enough, but there's a hidden identifier and several others that can be set.
If you are interested in testing it, you can flash the ATT build.prop found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=51112381&postcount=9
which links to here: http://d-h.st/6tN
I believe it sets all the right things, because flashing it over GoldenEye makes the phone recognized by Google Play for ATT apps. I'd be interested to hear experiences of someone using a T-Mobile or other variant S4, and if it works as well on that hardware...

Hey guys. I have and Unlocked and rooted i9505 S4 (at&t branded), currently running the Goldeneye rom. I recently switched to T-mobile and wanted to make use of their wifi-calling feature but even after installing the t-mobile sim card, I dont see an option for wifi calling anywhere.
can anyone suggest a way I can get wifi-calling on my unlocked/rooted at&t branded s4? thanks!
I think you might need to take it to T-Mobile store. From my understanding, it is only for SGH-M919. AT&T phones are not compatible, even if you switch carriers. You may have to flash a T-Mobile Touchwiz rom, not sure. If anyone thinks I'm wrong, feel free to correct me. :cyclops:

Thx for the reply rootnerd! yea thats the problem i'm having... I read that some people got it working with a flashed a T-mobile rom while others said they couldn't. So I was trying to see if anyone could shed some light as to which T-mobile roms with the wifi calling feature could be flashed via safestrap on an at&t phone, because I don't really want to buy a new phone from t-mo just yet

Yeah this is where AT&T users would know the answer. I currently have a T-Mobile S4 but I really don't think it's worth keeping Touchwiz just for WiFi calling. But everyone has there own perspective.
Well recently switched to sprint to save money...(yayaya big mistake) picked up a M9 only to find out the new spark network doesnt allow talk and hotspot at the same time. So i did some research and found the that 720 (non triband) S4 galaxy has dual antennas that would allow talk and hotspot without interuption... at least thats what i thought....so I bought one on ebay and return my M9...
So now im rooted with the s4 (odin) and have the wifi app for $2.80 google play store.. and still every time I make a call my internet goes out.
Is there anyway I can access both without interruption on the sprint network? or do i have to add a line and have a dedicated rooted phone for uninterrupted access?
Thanks ahead of time guys, I came here first cause i know your the BEST!

Maybe its the hotspot app you are using? have you tried the hotspod mod on these forums?
also, make sure you're on LTE, as thats the only way sprint phones can talk and do data..

Not if tri-band and on LTE. There is no VoLTE so it will disconnect data when you are on a call. You are SOL.

Yea i know.. im no stranger when it comes to rooting and flashing, but I did a basic ODIN2 root, then added WiFi tether from googleplay store and this is happening, on OS 4.2.2
So now Im about to flash OD2 baseband the
Wicked 10.2 ,
then 10.3 and see if fixes it.
A possible reason why this is happening is perhaps when I recieved the phone I did not have a SIM card for it. (ebay sepcial) So I went into sprint and they flashed a new one onto it possibly to disconnect the VoLTE upon dual usage. Im hoping the OD2 baseband and WICKED rom will repair this.
UPDATE:
flash OD2 and now I have voice and data!! YES
Just flashed the wicked 10.3 rom and now I have no keyboard!...damn
