QUOTE(arecheese @ Feb 4 2015, 10:21 PM) hye guys, need some help here, i was running cm11 M9 previously, couldnt upgrade higher because by cellular network would be messed up and wifi as well, but after a while (i'm sure i didnt do anything) cellular network keep drop, so i changed to paranoid android 4.6 beta 5, still cellular network dropping and now gps also dodgy. I did my research and they i think maybe because I've been using custom rom so long my modem firmware not upgraded too long already? would that affect gps as well or is that due to PA rom? i so, can anyone explain in laymans terms how to upgrade my modem? I already seen some tutorials but one of them talked about hlos or something and i got scared lol! thanks! Flash ROM with Odin. Can Google for tutorial. I was on stock 4.1.2 previously, flashed to custom 4.4.2. When flashed back to 4.1.2, cannot register on network, got fake IMEI. Downloaded and flashed a newer modem and it worked. If you know what modem you want, you can Google for it and download it. I used XXUBMG9 modem. |

Is the Google Play Edition ROM the same for both I9505 32GB and 16GB? Thinking to get an I9505 to play around with... but then, a used I9505 can almost get a new Honor 4x already, so... hmmm...

QUOTE(brutus @ Jul 20 2015, 10:17 PM) Got it for 820. Began update immediately and after 4 consecutive firmware upgrades, now on 5.0.1 official Lollipop. Had some strange events like capacitive buttons not functioning. Did a factory reset, problems solved. Now enjoying it on 4G and the screen and speed is really an improvement over my aged S920. Where did you buy it from? Thanks. |

I bought a 2nd-hand Black Edition. It had a custom recovery and ran on 4.4.2 (not sure stock BE firmware or regular S4 firmware). Feeling battery drain and overheating, I went to SC and they changed a new motherboard (KNOX-free again yay) and flashed new (but old) firmware, 4.4.2. I'm not sure if this is BE firmware (according to SC, it is). But I see the wallpapers are the same. How to identify BE firmware?

On my previous S4s (love this model, kept coming back to it), I was rooted and had no problems. Now on stock 4.4.2, I have issues writing to SD card. Trying to decide if I should root it or flash with the regular S4 Lollipop. Does the Lollipop update fix this issue? Is the Lollipop update stable? Better or worse than KitKat? The SC recommends I stick to KK for now, for stability.

QUOTE(TOMEI-R @ Jul 31 2015, 11:30 AM) Yes, as long its a for the GT9500. But take note if you dl the normal s4 rom, you wont have the Black edition ring tones, wall papers and themes and that defeats the purpose of the getting the black edition in the first place. Well, any I9500 can flash the black firmware, right? So it's not really that special...  QUOTE(nokia6280 @ Jul 31 2015, 04:47 PM) You firmware is none black version. Okies thanks. Downloading the black firmware from SamMobile now. After that download the regular firmware. Flash around to test. Flashing stock firmware with Odin will not trip Knox, right? |

QUOTE(fishmango @ Sep 13 2015, 07:40 PM) btw, the S4 camera stock app can't shoot vga photo and vga video? No. QUOTE(nokia6280 @ Sep 14 2015, 09:23 AM) One level jump don't make much different to me  True also. S5 camera a little bit better, battery better, waterproof (useless to some), heartrate monitor (useless to some), looks uglier, processor better... and this will cost you like RM300-RM400 more... |

QUOTE(nokia6280 @ Sep 14 2015, 03:20 PM) No heating issue when i using KitKat. When lollipop came out my device abit hotter than usual but i can accept it but after new patch recently came in heat back to normal.  Recent patch? For Stagefright kah? What's your SOT like? My Black Edition still on stock 4.4.2. Thinking wanna flash to stock Lollipop or not. But once go to Lollipop, can't turn back, right? |

QUOTE(GTA5 @ Nov 6 2015, 07:15 AM) Hey guys, I am using galaxy s4 black edition, still with Kit Kat 4.4.2 as I didn't received any updates OTA for lollipop. However this morning I checked for updates and there is one about 1GB in size. Anyone knows what this one is for? Whether for upgrade to lollipop or just security updates? Thanks. [attachmentid=5245676] Yes it's Lollipop! Exactly one year after Black Edition 4.4.2! Congratulations!  |
