Hello, I am having an issue with my Samsung Galaxy S4 Canadian Rogers edition. I am unable to make calls and a number of the application involving the phone's mic are no longer working. Also the speakers are not working at all.
When trying to make a call through the stock dialer (i tried a 3rd party dialer as well) the phone usually freezes on a black screen with the notification bar on the top (see attached file for screenshot) or a message will show up saying "Phone isn't responding, do you want to close it?"
This problem occurred after trying to unlock my phone using this guide found here.
[ I am unable to post links, the guide can be found by googling "how to carrier unlock samsung galaxy s4", (I used the first guide on gs4.wonderhowto)]
I feel like I might have made some sort of mistake while in the service menu and would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me.
Attached are screenshots of my phone

Hallo, I have a cool applcation idea that I plan to implement that would probally make thiefes return my MDA-Pro after they stole it.
For that reason I need to be able to run an application or show a clickable screen on the MDA-Pro BEFORE login. That screen is supposed to be shown EVERYTIME the MDA-Pro is turned on. You can only proceed to the login screen from there with a certain keybaord shortcut. Also doing a reset should not disbale this feature. Can that be done some how ? If so how ?
I saw somewhere a password screen that was a picture and you had to click in just the right spot of the picture to gain access. I imagine that your message could be a picture to accomplish this. As for a hard reset solution, you'd have to add it to the ext rom so it would be re-installed automatically.

This can be nicely resource edited to match your theme.
However, I've stopped using all such programs because they reset your hardware button settings if you're using AEButton Plus or any third party mapper (eg ButtonMax).
I don't think this will get your phone back. I'm writing a program that might though. Working on it, I'll keep you posted. In the mean time, check out IIWPO.

Maybe I should be more specific:
I have already finished an app that does what I want:
It it has a little embedded window showing what the video conference camera currently sees. It displays some fake government info and an animated GPS localisation icon. It has several other little scary acting features (such as a windows that pops up after a short random while, saying "EuroSecure GPS localisation data and video sequence sucessfully transmitted!" ) and the thief can see the adress where the device should be returned too. That application can only be cancelled with a certain keycombination. Now my only problem is getting this application to ALWAYS run BEFORE the login screen.
I tried looking, I don't think anyone mentioned this yet
I was showing my other half the HTC Messaging SecureBox feature, and that I have her conversation stored in there so no one can read it if they pick up my phone. Anyway, a few moments later, she found out you can pretty much just go to her contact page and just press the second tab to view messages, making it hardly secure... (it shows the lock symbol next to her name - but doesn't require a password). It might just be my ROM, I have no idea (using latest Dutty ROM). Anyway, If it isn't an error, its pretty funny.
Hah, interesting. I recall trying that exact method back in 3.0 maybe? and it not showing any messages.
Time to test and make sure my messages are properly hidden!
First of all good morning/afternoon/evening depending on where you currently are and living.
My name is Lorenzo, Italian, currently living in France. I just registered and unfortunately I could not find any "Presentation" section so I'll do it here expecting some of you perhaps to post a link to that section assuming it actually exists.
After my excursus I would like to post my question as an happy owner of a new Samsung Galaxy S4 - I9505.
I just rooted my Galaxy because I wanted to try different solutions in order to get rid of this annoying CARRIER NAME on the status bar (see picture).
I have already tried different features as "XBlast Tools" or "Wanam Exposed" with little success considering that all I managed to do is just hide all the notifications through the command "Hide left notifications in status" with XBlast, little success because as written I managed to get rid of the Operator name but that implied to get rid of all the other useful notifications as: Whatsapp, Messenger, Viber etc.
Please help me out since this string is extremely bothering me.
Thank you guys, and thanks to xda-developers community for the job you are doing! :good:
STABILITY ISSUES & CAR MODE FAULT --HELP PLEASE!!
Guys I need some help please.
The phone is great but over the past 2 months I have noticed occasional stability issues like programs suddenly opening up when you turn on screen that haven't been selected etc.etc
There is a list of 9 common faults published including some where, for eg OK google was working fine but suddenly doesnt etc.
This week in CAR MODE I noticed this unexpected error that restarting, clearing app cache, clearing app data etc will NOT fix.
Everything was working OK and I changed nothing that could have caused this.
when selecting Nav from carmode home screen it asks you "where do u want to go?", as per normal.
When I open the search text box to enter the address where I want to go, instead of verbally telling it, it accepts text characters for about 3-4 sec then suddenly just goes straight back to the carmode home screen before you finish typing the info and then hitting search!! Every time.
This is extremely annoying as it is the only accurate way to give it an address as it often miss hears the verbal names.
I cannot find anywhere a way of downloading and reinstalling carmode version 1.2.44.16607 so it can reload whatever blasted line of code is suddenly corrupted and causing the problem. if it was a separate app I could just uninstall and reinstall it but it is part of the OS and even in Galaxy apps I cannot find the specific Samsung app.
I DO NOT want to do a factory reset and wipe my phone!!, that is a BS solution just as it is on a PC for trying to fix a minor windows error.
DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY POSSIBLE SUGGESTIONS PLEASE???
Hi
I tried searching on xda if there is existing query like this but there wasn't that is why i created a new thread.
I have bought an LG v20 H910 unlocked in Pakistan with internal 64gb memory and on android 7.0 (not sure if rooted because i am not tech savvy, i just use stock rom). The device is unlocked and works with the sim that i put in but there is a branding "Pakistan telecommunication network" in the lock screen as well as on home screen taskbar when the sim is inserted. I tried changing the sim (on a different network) but it didn't resolve. I also tried finding the option in settings menu to hide operator name in the taskbar but there is no such option.
The point is, it is taking a lot of space on taskbar which is almost half of it and blocks the view for notifications. Also, it is quite annoying to see it. If it were a logo i would have ignored it but since it is taking half of status bar that is why i am annoyed and want it to be removed/hidden.
Please help me with this. I really love this phone but this thing is turning me off from using it. I have put my sim in old phone and using it till i find some solution for resolving it.
For reference i have attached the screenshots.
Same problem with "Telephonica 02 UK Limited" taking up about a third of the status bar.
Did you find a solution in the end?
Guess it depends on the carrier. I'm in Canada with "Videotron" and it's nowhere to be seen in the status bar...

Well not as of yet. I have found some workarounds but i don't know which one might work.
1. first option is to install system UI tuner from play store, granting adb permissions and see if the app opens any settings for hiding the carrier name.
2. flashing it with some other rom.
3. rooting it and then installing custom rom.
i have tried the 1st option so far and there is no such option in system ui tuner to hide the carrier name. I am afraid of doing the rest of other options because i am not a techy person and i dont want to end up with a bricked phone.
Pakistan Telecommunication Mobile Netwok -> Ufone ? @awaisagha can you share with me your modem-dump of h-910, My H910 shows only ufone or the carrier i am using name, but my modem has got no carrier data
