finally upgraded from DI01 to ED01 and have discovered a problem. the 4 buttons on the bottom of the screen now act weird. they will light up, go out, or flicker depending on what im doing. never had this problem before and i havent seen anyone else post about it but i could have missed it. anyone have any idea?
Did you update stock di01 to stock ed01 or between custom roms?

no, i tried the OTA update several times with the end result being the server IP error. unrooted and tried again several times with the same results. then i followed the link in another post and flashed with odin, the DL09. tried again several times to get the OTA update with no success. had to flash that several times and then finally got it to install. as it sits i am running ED01 stock but rooted. my wifes phone had had all the OTA updates and has always run stock, not even root and has some problems with the buttons as well.
try reflashing a kernel... i only dealt with that problem once a while back and i just reflashed everything and that seemed to fix it.
Also i used to restore system files from titanium backup and sometimes it didn't play nice with whatever i upgraded to and that would cause the backlights to bug out before i got force close messages.
I just updated to MF9. I ended up doing a complete Odin wipe with the complete MDC package, updated to MDL, then installed MF9. I could not get MF9 to come up from the update menu - even with a completely stock phone. I had to apply the downloaded zip.
I then rooted using the CF-autoroot method. Running on stock recovery, stock kernel. I disabled a couple of apps I don't use through App Manager only (not TiB) to make sure I'm not disabling anything crucial.
This morning, I noticed that when the keyboard pops up (this is the Samsung keyboard) I can usually type 2 words and then the keyboard freezes. I can't make it go away with the back button. Sometimes it will unfreeze after 30-45 seconds and disappear, sometimes I have to reboot the phone. Even if I use a task killer (I use Watchdog Pro) the keyboard overlay persists even after I kill the "keyboard" process.
Anyone experience this? This NEVER happened under MDL.
I don't really see much difference between the two. I was hoping that we would get new camera firmware because both my and my wife's S4's have some camera lag and terrible low light performance which the firmware is supposed to fix, but apparently only AT&T got the new firmware.
I haven't really been hurting for space since I got a class 10 64gig MicroSD card so so far, I'm not that impressed with the update for me it broke something that worked, and didn't address any of the problems I was having.
looks like I solved it.
I went back to MDL and reinstalled MF9 again. everything worked until I started messing with settings.
Apparently having the language update checkbox checked is what did it. If I don't check any language update checkboxes on everything works fine so looks like a combination of bad reception and the keyboard app trying to check for updates while it's in use is what did it. It's odd since the phone was on Wifi, but whatever.

So I just recently upgraded from MF3 with root and safestrap to MK2, also root and ss as the title suggests. The process went smoothly, even got myself a shiny new shostock installed painlessly. Today I went to use my navigation and came to the realization that my gps will not lock on, just endless waiting for location. My first thought was to get a baseline on the rom, so I swapped to my stock slot still with stock rom and was having the same issue, endless waiting for loc.
So I have done a lot of searching around, tried a few gps fix apps, to no avail. Has anyone else run into the same issue or possibly have some advice to offer me? Everything else works just fine, lte, wifi etc, just the dang gps! Thanks in advance everyone!
I'm having the same issue.. I unrooted and disabled/uninstalled safestrap with no luck. I even had AT&T reflash mk2 for me, but still no GPS locking on. Anyone help?

Same thing happened to me. Just installed the MDL modem and worked again right away :thumbup:

Same issue here - see my thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2599961 (with 0 replies).
I will try restoring shostock and flashing the MDL modem.
UPDATE: Booted back to stock and GPS now working, without flashing a new modem! Restored ShoStock nandroiid, and GPS working there also! No idea why.
I finally found the problem, in hyperdrive there is an option to choose your region for faster gps locks. I went in, saw it was set to asia, changed it to north america, then deleted hyperdrive so I could have more space for shostock and my gps is now working flawlessly.

Same with me: I've reflashed with leaked KK, than back to stock MK2, installed several modems: nothing, GPS would not lock and no satellites are found.

The same happened with me on my MK2 SS with GoldenEye rom. I tried everything and nothing would work. I flashed several modems, booted in stock rom, restored MK2 with odin, factory reset multiple times, tightened the screws on the frame of the phone, and nothing worked..
My only solution was to Odin to MK2, upgrade to KK via the OTA update from AT&T. And from there, reflash stock 4.4 image with Odin. After all that, my GPS is finally working again.
Oh when I went from MK2 to NBA with AT&T OTA, my wifi stopped working, so if that happens just restore with the KK stock image in Odin. I even had scheduled a repair with Samsung, but I guess I wont be sending it in anymore.
To anyone having problems, this is what I had to do to fix it. I need my GPS working, so I didnt really care about upgrading from MK2 to NB1, besides I am sure a root method will be out within weeks. (or you can do the downgrade method)

So, actually I have solved the problem. Please read my long story in the post #2050 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2305752&page=205.
It also should solve Wi-Fi problem as well as I had it too in between...
I took the 4.4.2 OTA update on my XT907, which was has always been unrooted and locked, today. It installed fine without a problem, but now whenever I turn on my phone it makes the SMS/notification sound. It started as the DRIOD "siren" but I changed it to the light sound effect, but it is still annoying. Is there anyway to fix this?
Hey, so when ever I make a call (I can dial but when I hit call) my phone will lock up, then the screen goes black, shuts off and turns back on. It happens when I answer or reject incoming calls as well. This only started happening when I updated my S5 to lolipop, I unrooted, and when back to the S5 stock kitkat ROM, full factory reset before going to lolipop, phone calls worked fine rooted and unrooted in KitKat, so it makes me think it's a lolipop issue. Since running into the problem I've tried, going back to kitkat and upgrading again, factory resetting from within lolipop, wiped caches, and such, and I just can't get it to work. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. It can't be hardware related since calls work fine on kitkat right?
