Hello guys, =)
I currently have my SGS4 (GT-i9505) since release and haven't upgraded firmware since then (I was rooted). Everything worked fine until I noticed that when 4G became available in my area I didn't receive it. Then after a few google hits, it said I had to update so 4G would become active. Did that and flashed I9505XXUDMH8.
Everything went fine for one thing however. Immediately upon reboot my launcher (apex launcher) would force close. Then a message would show up telling me it has been forced closed due to suspicious behavior. Now, this wouldn't be much of a problem if it was just the launcher, but it happens to every damn app.
Anything that can get root access or can adjust system settings gets shut down right from the start. I've tried reflashing the firmware, resetting factory settings and I've searched a couple of hours on the web but I couldn't find anything helpful. It seems to be triggered by a new Samsung security feature (or perhaps even KNOX).
Is there any trick to get rid of this? Because I REALLY do not want Samsung telling me what I can and can not do with my phone. Otherwise I would get an iPhone. I really need to bypass this filthy mechanic one way or another (without removing 4G support) so that I can use backups without a problem.
Thanks in advance!

I had some major issues when flashing back to stock, it went to stock fine and then I installed the AT&T update and then it became wonky. Took me an entire day before I was able to get the phone working again but I can not get the WIFI or phone to work.
baseband I337UCUAMF3
build JSS15J.I337UCUEMK2
Its not letting me flash anything recovery
Ok, so I got the phone in mostly working order now. Its on the AT&T NB1 firmware now, just done the OTA download. Having a few problems, still very sluggish and buggy at times. The alarm doesnt work, whatever the alarm is set for the clock will just skip over that time, never seen that. Slow to respond when making calls. Play store doesnt really work, says downloading apps but will never actually finish the download and install anything. Any ideas at this point???
Looks like its been taken care of although I'm not sure why you double posted...

I have an s4 from rogers (Canadian model) and initially had cyanogen mod as my rom but I realized that I was missing nearly 5 GB of storage on my phone. I read that to fix this I had to go back to stock using Odin. I went back to stock 4.2.2 using Odin, but then my WiFi stopped working. I couldn't turn WiFi on or search for networks. I then rooted my phone and installed a rom and my WiFi problem was fixed, but now I cant make calls. Every time I try to call someone my screen goes black and the recipient cannot hear me and I cannot hear them. Also, the sound on my phone does not work. I have flashed multiple roms and still get the same problem. Does anyone know any possible solution. I have looked around and many people have had the same problem, but no solution. Any help would be appreciated.
My Samsung Galaxy S4 9505 recently started having some issues, first the sounds stopped playing, when I tried to play a music, it just skipped to the next one, then it stopped playing videos too and no sounds... I rebooted it and it worked again to just started having issues again but now it started having constant lag and freezes, the camera started crashing, and it then rebooted by itself, I flashed his rom again (albe 95) but it did not worked, the issues persisted, I tried a cyanogenmod one and a stock one and still no sounds... removing the sd card looked like fix the lag and freeze issues, but i still got no sound in it, sometimes when I wipe cache it works, sometimes not, sometimes just rebooting it fixes the problem temporarily, I dont know what to do anymore, could someone help me with it?
You need to try out the stock rom of your device (the latest one) and see if it works fine, did your phone fall?
It did fall sometimes in the past, but the problem started few weeks ago, and i am not sure if I flashed the right stock version of it, the previous owner used to flash roms a lot too, maybe there is some mismatch when I flashed Albe95 rom and modems, but I dont know how to figure out the right firmware...
Is the phone unlocked for use on any carrier? If so, any stock ROM will work, though for best results you should stick close to home. If the phone is not unlocked, what country and what carrier?
I think the phone is unlocked because I was able to make calls before, the problem started few weeks ago, but I dont know where the phone came from, maybe its from Spain like the previous owner said, maybe if I could manage to flash his original firmware the problems can be fixed, but i dont know what one...
I managed to fix the problem in some way, with the Phone INFO app I was able to locate the phone original carrier and country, found out its from VODAFONE from spain, with the ATL code, so I managed to download its lastert stock rom and flashed it, then I searched for its modem and wifi fix and flashed it too, defragmented the SD card and the problem seemed fixed, but then I restarted the phone and the problems came again... So I pickedup a screwdriver, opened it, and cleaned all its contacts with isopropyl alcohol, then I closed it again, when i turned it on, there was no sound issues anymore and no lag, but still was unable to do any calls, so I flashed a JDC AOSP Marshmallow rom and then everything was fixed, sometimes when i let the battery drain until the phone turns off, when I turn it on the sounds stop working, so I need to recharge it a bit, and restart again to it work.
I have been using this device for a month now and I have had custom kernels on this device, rooted and everything. But ever since I went from global firmware to EU firmware my google mic has been broken. no matter what I do I just cant get it to work. cleared cache, disabled app and reenabled it, removed qualcomm voice and still nothing. I even went back to global firmware and still same issue. I factory reset this device like 10 times just trying to fix this issue and no solutions as of yet. Online has not been helpful since they all have the same solution which doesnt work for me. So I came here to seek assistance.
My mic works in general like snapchat and phone calls etc. just the google apps dont work with the mic. It is annoying not being able to say hey google to talk to my assistant. I have to type everything out.
Anyone else facing this issue and has a fix? I would greatly appreciate it
