S4 i9505 ISSUES - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an old verizon s4 i9505 phone. Believe its up to date but its on lollipop. I am letting my son use it to play games and I can't get pokemon go to work on it. Also any advice on apps to hide root?

The phone came from Verizon in the USA? I ask because Verizon USA phones are CDMA.

You may use magisk to hide rootI did that on RR N ,remember saw somebody have tested it on LP
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S4 using XDA Labs

Yes USA phone. What is CDMA.
I was told I could get magisk on google play store but couldn't find it on google play store.

CDMA: Code Division Multiple Access. One of two network types in the US; GSM is the other. Generally cannot be used outside of the US due to lack of support by carriers.
Magisk was pulled from the Play Store. Get it on XDA.

Which US carriers does the Google Play Edition phone work on?

Hi.
I wanted to know if the Google Play Edition GS4 works on all 4 carriers?
Also does it have LTE on verizon?
Thanks.

[Q] Which version is the international version

Which version is the international version of the Galaxy S5, which will probably have better support and faster release of custom ROMS ?
Thanks,
SM-G900F and SM-G900H
It has already been root'ed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
You can also wait for the S5 Google Play Edition which is carrier unlocked and unbranded. The Galaxy S4 Google edition works on AT&T, T-Mobile, and around the world. There’s no contract required, and you can use it on a variety of carriers in the US, and abroad. So, basically, the S5 will work the same.

LTE doesn't work around the world. Only on TMO and ATT US.

Developer Edition and AT&T - The Good and the Bad

I have the Developer Edition with my carrier AT&T.My previous phone was the HCT One M7 Developer Edition
also and everything was perfect on ATT.
The GOOD:
1 - Excellent LTE reception and speed - Blows away the M7 in same house.
The BAD or Problems:
1 - I have Visual Voice mail provisioned and worked great on the M7, went to Google Store
to d/l and it says this version is NOT compatible with your phone and will not let me install.
2 - I have an ISIS nano sim card.. Went to the Google Store
to d/l and it says this version is NOT compatible with your phone and will not let me install.
All other apps work wine. Any others with this problem? I was on the phone with the
Techs from ATT and have a ticket open to resolve these problems.
Everything else about this phone is phenomenal. Waiting on the update to get the Extreme power
mode option.

Hopefully you find a work around with those issues with ATT. Out of curiousity, I'm debating on picking up the dev or the ATT edition on the phone. But other than being unlocked and having a unlocked bootloader is there any other advantages in having a DEV compared to the ATT version? I mean wouldn't it be the same if I picked up a ATT version of the phone and unlocked it, unlocked the bootloader, and S-OFF? Sorry for the newbie question it's just the first time I'm looking into picking up a DEV version and I want to make sure I'm making the right choice. Thanks!!

You will get updates to your phone directly from HTC vs. the AT&T version they sell which updates must go through their slow verification process.
Edit: the developer edition comes with the booterloader unlocked from factory (no need to unlock it!).

Hey cc999, I have a developer edition and I can't download the applications either (thankfully I don't use either!) Could you pull the APKs off of your M7 and try installing them on your M8?
Found working VVM
Not taking credit, found this on the ATT forum. This is the lastest VVM apk.
Just installed it and it works perfectly.

Now all we need is ATT ISIS Wallet APK. Anyone?

Ive been using YouMail visual voicemail. Is the Att one better?
ATT Phone App apk
I wonder if it would be possible to load the Att phone app apk onto the developer edition to utilize the voicemail integration?
I had the att version before I returned it for the dev. Google voice is so much better. The att visual vm lagged. I would like the isis APK.

Searching for the ISIS.APK so far no luck

Just to confirm, there are no issues with LTE with the developer version (on AT&T)? Specifically in NY / NJ area if anyone has it here.
And the other thing, how is the warranty process through HTC? I know for ATT branded phones, you can go to one of their service centers and get it exchanged right away.
The warranty process is why I might get the ATT version instead.
Edit: I'm checking the specs on the HTC website. But what model is the developer edition listed as? Would it be "TMUS?" If so, it's missing bands compared to AT&T version.
I have had the Dev Edition on AT&T since Monday everything is fine. Actually have really good signal. I would say a hair better than M7. Radio switches smoother than ever freaking love this damn phone

Using the developer edition on AT&T. No LTE issues, although my area is just on the boarder of the nearest LTE market so I'm not on it a lot.
Also, The "TMUS" is referring to the soon-to-be released T-Mobile edition.

Milk Music (SM-N910U)

As the title suggests this is about Milk Music on the Note (SM-N910U). Basically google play keeps saying that milk music is not compatible with my device, I know I can just sideload the APK, but I was wondering why I couldn't download it straight from market. Im not rooted, completely stock, also would appreciate some other models input on this as well. Thanks
What country are you in? Think it's only compatible with American variants as milk only works in the USA. Of you change your buildprop to at&t or tmob variants then it might be available. Just a guess

Quick request for help from Google Play version owners

I'm about to switch from AT&T to a regional carrier, C-Spire (not my choice, but whatever). C-Spire is a CDMA carrier that has roaming agreements with Sprint. I've been on C-Spire before and while the service is fine, the phone selection is a bit of a nightmare for me because I like to have a lot of flashing options and C-Spire's phone variants are usually the obscure ones no one develops for.
At any rate, C-Spire has a "bring your own device" option where you can enter an ESN and it will tell you if you can use your phone on their network. It's available here: http://www.cspire.com/validate-esn/
I've read that the Google Play version of the 6P is the best bet for provisioning on pretty much any network, but I don't have an ESN from a 6P Google Play edition to test.
I'm not asking for anyone's ESN, but if you have an unlocked 6P Google Play edition, I would really appreciate it if you would take a quick moment to enter your ESN into C-Spire's validator (link above) and post here what it tells you. Hopefully, it'll be some good news.
Thanks in advance!
I purchased my device from Amazon which means it should be fully unlocked just like a device from the Google Store will be (all Nexus 6Ps should be regardless where they were purchased) and it said that it was incompatible. I'm on Verizon without any problems myself so CDMA wouldn't be the cause of that. Seems weird that it wouldn't be supported if they use Sprint's towers. Some other people should chime in just to confirm my finding but just thought I'd throw it out there.

I bought mine from Google and the validator says my phone will not work.
