Did you ever get any help with this? I have been reading the Note 2 post, and I think I may have read the whole thing from where they started talking about the S4 till the end, as well as about half the rest. I cannot get my S4 to get data working at all. I am in need of the Nandroid backup as well, unless you got it and it didn't work for you.

Nope no one seems to want to help ..but I have gotten the 3g function to work on the s4 by flashing the correct aaa passwords still cannot update profile or prl

I was coming from a TP2, but that data didn't seem to work. Where you using the same phone, or something else?

I was using an boost incognito as a donor im the settings under data connections set it to cdma only tjats the only way the settings from the donor will work on the s4

Thanks! I had made it CDMA only, but not in there, in ##DATA#.
You know what, this means that I may have gone through all the headache for nothing. I'll start over and we'll see, it may all work without need of *2/activation.

Yeah the *2 method will not work unless the s4 was previously activated on a sprint account

Well, changing the data to CDMA didn't work either. I also have been reading on Nandroid backups that may help with this, and I think what we would need is the carrier. Someone said that EFS is ok to share, but carrier one would have user specific data once it has been activated. So, I guess my fix will be to get them activated on a Sprint line first, then go through the flash.
Thanks for your help!

[Q]Low or no signal?

I've been experiencing low or no signal on my GS4. Especially if I flash to an AOSP rom. I have no idea y. I had originally gotten the S4 Active, but for the brief time I had that phone my signal was not a problem. I already called AT&T to get a replacement. So I'm gonna see how that goes but just wanted to know if anyone else is experiencing anything like this?

Have you tried to update your prl and profile ?
Oh and are you on AOSP based ROM ? Most people tend to have lower signal and 1x more. Than when on touch wiz.

4.4.2 problem s

1. Why did so many apps disappear?
2. Why is home WiFi "unstable" Internet connection ?
FYI OTA upDate worked on safe root

If you're talking about personal apps you should reboot the phone. They will reappear. For WiFi I've had no real issues. Just spent the weekend at my cousins house and I wasnt disconnected at all.

I forget the actual name of the setting but look for something like "smart mode" under WiFi settings as well as avoid poor connections and turn both of those off. See if that helps you at all. Did for me

Sprint S4

Phone will no longer rotate

Hey guys. I hate when I'm not able to figure things out on my own, but this one has me beat.
I recently discovered that my auto rotation has stopped working, I was on the latest AEONFLEX, and I've tried switching to CM11, and also a fresh install, with a system wipe, of AEONFLEX.
It was completely random when it sopped working, and there hasn't been any drops or anything like that, I haven't even had a case on the phone.
I hope someone has had this issue before, because I DEFINITELY do not want to have to go through LG to get it repaired if it were something internal.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Are you on Verizon?

Does tilting work in games?

Good question. I'm actually on ATT, and I'll check the games in a minute.
EDIT: no, no tilting in angry birds GO.
That's not good

Do you guys think it is a permanent hardware issue?

Did you flash back to stock to see if it still persist?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2

Try flash different mode.
Sent from my LG-D802 using Tapatalk

I hadn't tried stock yet, but flashing a new modem worked. Like what even? How can a modem effect a sensor like that? I had flashed the kit kat modem and apparently that messed it up.
Its fixed now though. Thanks a ton!!! I thought I was going to be sending this thing to LG
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app

Looks like you fixed it but sometimes its a new launcher so check settings

Nice!
Glad you were able to save your phone
Might have been just a problem of cache or something that was cleaned when you flashed the modem!
Yet it worked, so problem "solved" haha

Actually this happened to me too. I created a flashable zip to flash the new kit kat modem on my CM11 install. I cleared dalvik and cache, flashed the modem, rebooted and there is no auto rotate. Flashed the old modem back and auto rotate worked?? I don't get how flashing the modem disables auto rotate.

Modem might carry gyro code.

I had this happen and my fix was disabling auto rotate, running the motion sensor calibration on a flat surface and then re-enabling auto rotate again. Haven't had any issue since.

For some reason I don't have the option to calibrate the motion sensor on CM11?
Any other apps i can try to calibrate the sensor?
