Signal drop and antenna issues

Am a total noob to this flashing world
but couple of days back i flashed my phone used a custom rom
cooked by ahmedfikry based on CLEANROM from that moment am facing
Signal drop and antenna issues
please help

It's a bug on Samsung wp7 phones(some said) and tango is a beta ROM(it's not released to the public so it still has some bugs). Run samsung network profile app(marketplace Samsung apps) select a different network carrier as yours. wait to set it (you will see 3G/E sysmbol) then select your network carrier(it depends on what network you are). If your on at&t try it (some people said it works). I'm on Straight Mobile and had this problem on the stock ROM and didn't work(this app only gives you 2 choices AT&T & ATT for my phone at least). Try flashing [ROM] Clean ROM - Stock METRO UI http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528984 ver. 1.30(mango) it works flawlessly. Tango is still buggy because it's a leaked ROM and not final.

No, the phone should be unlocked irrespective of the number of times you flash/format it. AFAIK, the unlock is in NVRAM aka non volatile RAM.

[Q] Interesting thing: China Mobile i9508 is i9505?

i9508 is the China Mobile model of Galaxy S4, which supports GSM and TD-SCDMA.
A group of people made a custom ROM to enable WCDMA on i9508.
Seems i9508's got both WCDMA and TD-SCDMA support, and WCDMA is disabled by firmware.
However, people also report that they see "i9505" on those i9508 they buy. So, maybe i9508 is just a software-modified i9505 on which WCDMA and LTE is disabled.
So, anyone knows if i9505 also has both WCDMA and TD-SCDMA on it?
P.S.
Refs from a website called tphone8... sorry i can't add outside links.
Ref of i9505 printed on i9508: thread-21245-2-1.html
Ref of a project intended to find and enable TD-SCDMA on i9505: thread-14619-1-1.html

Yes, I9508 = I9505 + custom firmware
As far as I know, Snapdragon 600 supports WCDMA/TD-SCDMA/LTE, and someone said it can be hacked via *#1111#

What I am looking forward to is unlocking TD-SCDMA on the coming Galaxy S4 with Stock Android.

And it's also DUOS!

100% sure this will be possible?
My next phone needs to be TD-SCDMA enabled, have all gapps (so not a chinese version) and hopefully stock Android.

I have, and I can't find an answer to my question on the page, it just says;
There’s another Chinese model, the I9508, which is a single-SIM Galaxy S4 with a Snapdragon 600 chipset. This one is China specific and differs from the I9505 in its TD-SCDMA support (the 3G tech in China).

Will it be possible to enable TD-SCDMA on any i9505, and specifically on the the stock android S4?

Some people tried to raise money to buy 2 i9505s for the development. However, it doesn't seem promising. Only a few people donated, so the total amount will hardly reach the target. On the other hand, ROM makers already built ROMs for i9508 which enables the phone to use WCDMA instead of TD-SCDMA.
So there is no proof that an i9505 could support TD with some software level hack, even though the two models share the same hardware (or almost the same, i don't know).
So, for now, the only choice for TD seems to be i9508. I believe the CM-based ROMs for i9508 are coming soon (maybe they already built one).

They did.
Guys, I have a GT-I9508 and flashed into custom rom via Touchwiz UI and everything works very well. Once I used to have some wifi and bluetooth issues but I solved it with latest official rom.
Here is what I've done:
1) I flashed the GT-I9508's software with the latest official rom. (This updates the baseband of the device which means wifi and bluetooth connection issues are gone)
2) I flashed Omega v42.1 Android 5.0.1 Based on firmware XXUHOF2 ( which you can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2253528 )
Now, I have GT-I9505's rom runs on GT-I9508 without any restrictions even Google Products.
Regards.

Hi,
Im currently using the Galaxy Note 3 SM-N9005W8 (Canadian) running X-Note V5.1
The mobile data stopped working (icon won't appear on status bar) after i flashed a custom rom and does not work anymore regardless of which rom i flash, whether is be stock rom or customs.

[Q] WiFi Calling

Is there a way to add WiFi calling to a ROM that does not have it pre-installed? Im on a Note 3 (SM-N900T) currently using PacMan ROM with KK 4.4.4. I don't absolutely have to have it but it was a very nice feature.

The only way you will get the Wifi Calling feature working is:
#1: You must have a Tmobile SM-N900T phone.
#2: You must be on the Tmobile network.
#3: You can only use Tmobile Kitkat N900T 4.4.2 Touchwiz based custom roms.
You can also use the official stock N900T Tmobile Kitkat 4.4.2 Touchwiz firmware.
If you are using any other type roms you will not be able to have wifi calling.
None of the AOSP or Ported roms will have the wifi calling feature.
(Pacman rom is AOSP).
Good luck!

Thank you so much for your help. I met all the criteria, except as you noted, the TMobile Kit Kat. I did try out a couple roms that did have that but I much prefer the slimmed down versions because my battery life seems much, much better. I think I will ultimately go back to SlimKat 4.4.4 and just chalk up the loss of wifi calling as the price of customization.

Is there lollipop available for Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T231

hi.
i have a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 SM-T231 8GB, Wi-Fi + 4G UK tablet. it is routed and has no sim lock.
it works fine for phone calls. and general activity BUT its on kitkat 4.4.2
i dont use mobile devices much but one thing i do use them for is discord video to test that my stream is acceptable.
the discord i was able to install from apk mirror does not have video support in voice channels.
So i want to update to lolipop.
I have checked the internet and its quite a mix of info.
i have found that some of these tablets did get a update to lolipop in other countries.
others only recived them if they had a specific version..
so i dont want to update and lose my phone call ability or possibly worse.
So i figured i would check with the good people here first.
this is a 7 inch sm-t231 galaxy tab 4, from the uk currently running a 3 sim. (but is its unlocked)
is there an actual path to update it to update it to lolipop or am i just out of luck?

[ROM] [KK] [SM-T231/T230/NU] + Android 5.0 Lollipop Material Design -{Theme}-
Read this thread carefully !! ROM only for Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 Inch This ROM made to give your device full Android Lollipop look (Theme) lol After installing this ROM all you can see is just kitkat theme every where like a kitkat 4.4 ROM but...
forum.xda-developers.com

think thats just a theme. wont help with functionality of the apps that can be installed will it?
also
this quote from the dev makes me think il lose my phone:
i am sorry for all the users that used my ROMs
all my ROMs not detect SIM card at all

What you want is to move from Android 4 to Android 5: that means you want to upgrade existing Android to a higher version what de facto is a complete replacement of Android OS.

yes thats is what i asked..
and you linked a kitkat 4.4 theme, not a actual lolipop rom.
and it also does not support sim cards.. "which was stated as a needed feature"
so what you linked is not at all what is needed.
but still thank you for your time.
i had already searched for and read that entire thread the other day.
i will just assume that it does not exist and carry on using 4.4.2
