LineageOS 14.1 on Samsung S5 Quirky Data Connection - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Device: SM-G900F
LOS: 14.1-20180330-NIGHTLY=klte
Issue: Device tends to report Mobile Network State "Connecting" but only occasionally actually connects.
Workaround: Mobile Network>Preferred network type. Select GSM/WCDMA (works with other settings). [You'll get H or H+ next to signal indicator].
Next >Preferred network type. Select GSM/WCDMA/LTE. Now have LTE
The phone is happy to stay in connected data state until next reboot.
So anybody else come across this and if so is there a "proper" fix?
Thanks

I don't have this variant but, your best bet is to post this question within the following Official LineageOS thread for the klte devices.

I actually have no LTE on my phone, I posted this on the lineage reddit and someone sent me this link:

Thanks for the link.
I've tried some of the appropriate fixes (APN data, modem etc.) plus the issue doesn't seem to be affected by the ROM. I had the same issue with CM. Beginning to think it may be a physical problem with actual phone.

You may want to contact your provider to see if they can send you a new SIM. That is what I am doing to see if that fixes my LTE issue.

Check your APN settings and see if you have a duplicate APN from your provider. If so, chose the one that works and delete the other one. Happened/happens for me on all
Cm Lineage AOSP ROMs.

Yea I've had the duplicate APN prob. before but not this time. To be extra sure I copied the APN details from another (LTE working on same network) phone but no luck.

New to Focus on Rogers

Hello All,
I just got a AT & T "unlocked" samsung focus. I plan to use it on rogers and been reading the forms for a few days as see their may be issues.
Can i just put in my SIM card and hope for the best? I was wondering how hard is it to set up the APN settings and MMS settings on the focus? IF i try to update my Focus to Mango will it relock it self?
Is their anything i should know about using an unlocked AT & T phone on the rogers network?
Thanks and sorry for all the questions.

Once SIM unlocked, the phone does not re-lock if you update/flash/downgrade/upgrade the rom or use another SIM or hard reset the phone.
Secondly, you will need the "Network Profile" app from Samsung to switch the network profile from AT&T to Rogers. You'll find it in Marketplace, in Apps (not Samsung Zone).

Thank you,
When i search the marketplace ( w ww.windowsphone.com/en-CA/marketplace) for Network Profile i do not seem to find anything. Should i be searching it on the phone and not on the internet?

On the phone, yes. Connect through wi-fi if you don't have a data plan (faster anyway). In Zune you won't find it through search.
Just downloaded the app and i only see AT & T and no choice to change it.
any help?
Thanks

You might be better off to flash it with the Rogers ROM if you plan on keeping it for a while. Trust me you'll have less issues.

That's also another solution, but flashing is time consuming and a bit radical. But if you're at the very beginning of your journey, it's definitely something to consider.

This with a Rogers SIM? Very weird, should display current carrier and AT&T.
Can you check with a different SIM? (either Rogers and/or any other carrier than Rogers/AT&T)
Is this hard to do? Can you please send me a link to show me how? (that is how to flash it for rogers)

Yes it does.
I wonder if flashing my device to a rogers rom will fix the gmail(same error msg) issue along with the timestamp issue.
I now get the Error Code: 80072efd

You are right. Edited the old post to contain the link as well. You can get it from here. Don't forget to thank PavelX1 for the rom.
Flashing to Rogers ROM is about an hour of time. I would suggest adding any SD cards (if you are expaning memory size) after. If you already have a card there be sure to back it up if you have anything important before you flash the unit. It will erase evertyhing!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131022
It should go failry easy. I've flashed to the ROM, also to AT&T and back again about 4 or 5 times now. Very simple tool to use.
thank you! it was quite easy to do.
How long does the battery last most users? So far i am finding that i get about 6-7 hours of meduim use. It seems a bit short.

Define medium use.
I get about 1 day with WiFi and 3G on + some usage.
3G no wifi or Bluetooth. 1 hour of emailing and playing a game for an hour or so.

Flashed CM10.1 - Terrible data speeds!?! Showing "DC" symbol?

Hey folks, so testing out data speeds on CM10.1 after flash and they're terrible! Ping is in the 300-600s and it keeps showing a "DC" symbol next to my signal bars, where the H+ and LTE symbol usually is. Any ideas?
did you turned on drx? dc is.discontinued connection
Sent from my SGH-I337M using xda pt
remium
drx? no I don't believe so. Just flashed the rom like normal and when I went to use my data connection, it just showed the DC symbol. It bounces between H H+ and DC, really strange!

Are you kidding me? The second link is to the CyanogenMod bug detailing exactly what the DC icon indicates. The title of the issue is: Add support for DCHSPAP. If you google that term, you'll find a better detailed description of what DC-HSPA+ is than what you'll get from someone on XDA.
Couldn't find any "real" info??
The #1 rule of XDA is search before posting. If you're sick of my "attitude", which literally consisted of me telling you to search (and searching for you), then maybe you're doing it wrong.

If someone ask me why I don't want that my work is used, it means that you don't know xda rules so here i report the #12 that explain the sharing policy for both rom and kernel.
Cyanoid kernel is for cyanoid rom only.
XDA Rule #12. Using the work of others.
If you are developing something that is based on the work of another Member, you MUST first seek their permission and you must give credit to the member whose work you used. If a dispute occurs about who developed / created a piece of work, first try to settle the matter by private message and NOT in open forum. If this fails, you may then contact a Moderator and provide clear evidence that the work was created by you.
Convincing evidence will result in the copied work being removed. If there is no clear evidence that it was you who created the work, then in the spirit of sharing, all work will remain posted on the forums.
As an addition, developers have the right to hold exclusivity over their work for as long as it is deemed necessary by that developer. However, if the work is claimed as exclusive, it must remain as such. No selective sharing will be allowed (ie, allowing certain people to use it and not others). Should the developer decide to start sharing the work with others, the work automatically becomes fair game for all to use, albeit with the relative credit displayed.
In regard to permissions, the same rules apply for this but if permission was already given and unless there is a very valid reason, it cannot be revoked (same applies to major updates on the work). Under that same premise, permissions cannot be denied unless the work is exclusive or under extreme circumstances.
In plain English: If you want to keep your work exclusive, go for it. However, if you are going to share your work, do it fairly.
These rules apply to all software posted on XDA (including but not limited to ROMs, RUUs, apps, games, kernels, themes, icons, etc) unless that software comes with a license that waives these rules.

wifi tethering really works? impressive I don't think anyone's fixed that yet on ICS for this device or is there some other workaround that I don't know about? also wow I never seen a installer with a custom gui/touchscreen controls like this this is pretty cool. love the installation percentage meter too!
ok super brief testing theres a bug on first boot the back to home button won't work at all but restarting the phone fixes that.
and a continuous bug that seems to be on all custom roms I've tried whenever I use my Amaysim brand sim card on a custom rom it says the carrier is "Yes Optus" which is the owner of the network im on but they resell to Amaysim and so Amaysim's name should be coming up but since it isn't or for some other reason the APN fields are blank and trying to add to it, it won't save a APN so I can't get any mobile data at all. Phone calls and Texts will still work oddly.
But if I use this same sim card on my phone with stock gingerbread I can get data and it will say Amaysim as my carrier weird problem right?
If I use another simcard that's not Amaysim like Telstra (different operator) it works fine and mobile data will work.
Interesting rom I'll keep testing.

I don't think the carrier name is a problem I just think it's a symptom of something else being an issue. Yes there is a way to change the carrier name to whatever I want it to be but I doubt that'll allow me to start using mobile data.

and it shows I can use a vodaphone sim with mobile data and it has default apn already on it. no clue why one works and the other doesn't

T-Mobile Wi-Fi Calling.

So does anyone have an idea on how to get this to work on AOSP ROMS? I'm making new vebdor blobs and the only real new APK I see is CNEService. There's other files here and there but nothing I can tell that will help with this.

I am running the stock ROM (don't worry, bro, be back later today :victory: ) and I just got an update on an app I had never seen before: Google Connectivity Services. The tag line is "Improved Networking for Android", and the description talks about automatic wifi connections and Google VPN. Obviously this is a precursor to Fi, but I am wondering if the delay for T-Mobile WiFi calling was to wait for it to be built on the Fi platform for WiFi calling, which we know will be part of the deal.
Not sure what to make of it, other than it's looking very proprietary right now.

Yeah the Google Connection Service app has been on the Play Store for awhile. I already added it to my blobs. Yeah it is looking proprietary, but I'm sure we can get it to work. It's been done on other phones before.
i have faith is will be a short time before you guys get it to work

You won't brick, the WiFi calling feature requires framework changes that (I can pretty guarantee) are not open source.
Second: This is in the DEVELOPERS ONLY section, so if you guys want to discuss WiFi calling and aren't actually working on it then you need to move general discussion of it to a different thread. This area is strictly for development and discussion of such development (technical things, not "oh nice can't wait" or "I'll test for you" )
i think we should look at the file systems for the stock nexus 6 and t mobile nexus 6 and check for differences i know its a long shot but ill check it out tonight and see what i can find.
Second: see development were not just chatting anymore
Third: If anyones already done that please tell me so I don't have to its gonna take forever.

you need tmobiles blobs. besides that, all n6 roms will be identical.
So I decompiled LYZ28E and took a look around in the Settings app. It has a class called WifiCallingSettings. Inside there it makes calls to ImsManager.isWfcEnabledByUser. It seems like Wfc is WiFi Calling. I took a look at frameworks/opt/net/ims/src/java/com/android/ims/ImsManager.java and it doesn't have a function called isWfcEnabledByUser. I looked at android-5.1.1_r4 and android-m-preview tags. I think we need to wait for Google to push androiid-5.1.1_r5. According to https://android.googlesource.com/pl...om/+/ecfa803f8e7ca0cb65e74fb4dda90c16156655f3 that's the tag for LYZ28E.
From what I've been told by a guy I know at Tmo, you can only use WiFi Calling on phones that have been authorized by Tmo. (Example) Nexus 5 with Android M preview shouldn't be able to do WiFi calling. Even though Google is now baking in WiFi calling into Lollipop and M.
Check out the latest revision (5.1.1_r5) on AOSP. It includes WiFi calling support. Check it!

You won't brick, the WiFi calling feature requires framework changes that (I can pretty guarantee) are not open source.
Second: This is in the DEVELOPERS ONLY section, so if you guys want to discuss WiFi calling and aren't actually working on it then you need to move general discussion of it to a different thread. This area is strictly for development and discussion of such development (technical things, not "oh nice can't wait" or "I'll test for you" )

I'll just leave this here since guarantees were made and all

I will add that you don't just need the frameworks part but also kernel commits to support this WPC feature
I'll submit the specific changes made to bcmdhd driver (rather than just merge the entire m-preview kernel) to Omni Github once it is tested further and verified functional and stable for merge.

Interesting. Todays nightly came closer than ever!
Stock CM Kernel allowed me to get the IWLAN status in SIM Status, but the Data Quick Toggle Shows TMOBILE (Not WiFi Calling), and I am unable to call out. Also, WiFi Calling Settings don't show up in the "More" Tab (Under Wireless & Mobile Network Settings), and no WiFi Calling toggle in the Dialer (Does CM use the Google Dialer? Or its own?).
Interesting. It seems like the hard part is done at least.

To my knowledge, all wfc builds so far have merged the m-preview kernel into the lollipop-mr1 kernel. I believe I have the specific commits needed and it will be up on Omni's github once ready.

Outstanding. Thank you for your work.

VOLTE & WIFI Calling after Carrier Switch

Just wanted to save some a little time after I spent a few days pulling my hair out over this. (credit to
If you've carrier switched, ie flashed AT&T's firmware on a non-AT&T device) to take advantage of the bloat, VOLTE and WIFI calling it is important that your IMEI matches an AT&T S8 on your account.
[MOD EDIT: REDACTED] ... I was unsuccessful after several attempts to get it to work. When trying to enable WIFI calling without a AT&T S8 IMEI on your account, you may be greeted with the error message that states something is wrong and to call them. VOLTE will simply not work.
The fix: [MOD EDIT: REDACTED], reboot and profit!
I've confirmed on both Nougat and Oreo.

And you think that is fare, [MOD EDIT: REDACTED], that is steeling in my eyes.

I can certainly understand your position on that. I will say that times have changed and the use of the IMEI is for handset identification these days. It's primarily used for provisioning device specific features and tracking devices on the EIP programs. One could purchase a blocked device and update their account with the blocked IMEI number use the carrier switched device (Sprint) and the phone service would still work.
Morality aside, my goal of this post was to inform others of what's required to get the advanced services functioning.
This is theft pure and simple. [MOD EDIT: REDACTED]

Times may have changed, but XDA's position on IMEI fraud have not. Discussing IMEI fraud of any kind is not tolerated on XDA.
