need help - Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)

i recently flashed cm9 onto my sgs4g and now when i set my phone to vibrate mode it changes itself into silent or ringer, and im also having the problem that its now showing 3g instead of 4g like it should, before i flashed cm9 it showed 4g, so could it be the area im in doesnt support 4g or could it be something else? or would going into recovery mode and selecting "fix permissions" fix the problems im having? any help would be greatful.
and big thanks to the developers who made cm9 possible on the sgs4g, its outstanding and cant wait to see what comes next, and big thanks to all the others that help out.

1. I dunno, maybe its a bad flash? Did you wipe your data/cache and factory reset before flashing?
2. Thats not a bug t mobile doesn't actually have 4g the rom will show and H instead of 4g. You should be getting the same data speeds as before

i did everything needed 2 flash the rom, i have 2 manualy set it 2 vibrate then use the vol up/down 2 get it into vibrate mode, not understanding why i have 2 do that every time i reboot my phone or every few hrs due 2 it changing on its own.
as for the 4g, when i am at home it shows 3g, but if i leave and go 2 were theres more towers it shows no 3g/H or anything

Ok...
1. On stock roms it stays at 4g constantly (But it goes to 3g sometimes without notification) CM9 shows you whats actually happening.
2. The vibration thing I had the same problem, i'm currently on aokp but if I get a chance ill look at it ( I don't remember atm) I will pm you the answer.

ok thank you digital, i wasnt sure why it kept saying 3g (after letting it sit in certain spots it started showing H), as for the vibrate thing ill keep messing with it

no problem! Now for the vibrate thing I have figured it out, when you go to set it when you're cycling through the settings 2 of them will vibrate I didn't really pay attention but one will vibrate and work the other one will vibrate once and then remain silent.
straight from the dope house!

sweet, thanks again digital! didnt know there was 2 modes 4 the vibrate

I just wanted to let someone know that I have flashed this particular rom, and it does work. I am having some issues with calls as soon as i make one the phone vibrates and the display shuts off and doesnt come back on. I have installed soft locker, so im not sure what the issue is. I am going to terminal emulator back to recovery and wipe everything, reflash, and apply the patch. Please note that I found this rom in the IRC Chat.
edit: I was able to make calls and the sensors seem to work. ill do more testing and report back later.

You have to flash the patch.zip after you've flashed the ROM... it's also linked there in the IRC, but it's not quite yet ready for public posting, when it is we will surely update ChromWolf's thread
yes I saw that in the IRC, the first time I did it it worked but with the phone issues, I redid the whole process, I came from mtd cm7 and used terminal emulator to get into cwm 4 and wiped both the cache and data, I also mounted the data and some other things that werent mounted. After that I flashed the rom and then the patch. Everything went perfectly after I did that, no issues so far.
Tested: 3g, wifi, camera, camcorder, market, xda app, music, sd card, gps, sms, phone calls, and sensors. Everything works. I even get the phone to wake from a deep sleep to receive in-coming calls and texts.
Awesome job guys!!!!

They do their own edits to make mms / deep sleep work?
For clarification, deep sleep for me works, as for the mms I believe that has not been touched still. I'm sure in the future it will be looked/cared about , but in the here and now this is the ****.
I always kicked myself for going away from my htc desire, every time I would see one of my friends rocking miui. Now its our turn!!!
Also, I am not using soft locker, with the edits that were made to this rom its seeming like its not needed anymore.

Still working flawlessly?
There hasn't been anything done to fix the deep sleep issue, it's still prevalent in JT's CM7 and therefore carries into this, I'm still using the softlocker app and "stay awake" options while charging to keep the phone out of deep sleep. The last big fix jt did was rewriting the sensors, so that is cutting down the bugs big time, but I'm pretty sure this is still an issue.
I will say that in previous MTD tests I had odd issues with data and SMS, with the 6/27 port it's running much more stable and I'm getting much faster 3G speeds than before (jt suggested we replace a few files from our specific roms)

AFAIK, Jt updated his overlay before building that, to include those files (it's just all of the files from system/etc/PPP/ from any of our pnp/stock builds.) check your /ppp/ folder and make sure it has 6 files in it

One thing I have noticed is there doesn't seem to be camera led light working. Anyone else having that issue? I have been using a flashlight app for a few months and it just doesn't work.... the light that is not the app. I have tried other apps also.

[Q] Droid Razr - MIUI No Data Question

Just rooted and installed the latest MIUI Rom (6.1) for the first time and I have not been able to connect to data. I know you have to toggle data and tried the GSM only and back to GSM/CDMA auto, however, no luck. I would post in the specific thread, but as a new user I am not allowed to. Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance!
Edit: Wow for anyone still having this problem I turned on USB debugging on it worked. Not sure if that helped, but I think it worked for me.
Edit 2: Haha nevermind it was only a short fix. Still no data
Wow thats a weird fix. I would have opened the "download" app and switch between download via wifi and mobile data that fixed mine. Anyway glad u figured it out.
Sent from my HTC Incredible S using Tapatalk 2
Well you are right haha because it only lasted about an hour. Very odd. Tried to replicate it but couldn't.
Anyway, I tried what you said. It was already on mobile network, but I toggled it anyway. No difference. When I first change the phone settings it will show 3g and 1x, however, no data and then it goes straight to cell signal only. Love the rom, but no data is a killer. Seems like everyone is able to eventually get it.
Alright for anyone else having this problem I left it on CDMA only instead of auto and the 3g is working. Not sure if 4g will work, but I can edit later and let everyone know.
If anyone knows a 4g fix let me know.
Edit: Just got 4g randomly haha I have no idea what is going on.

[Q]3g is popping on and off like it wants to start up but doesnt and no connection??

i have no clue what going on here.. but i dont have any data... but voice works fine.. ive done multiple reboots.. running opensensation..
anyone knows whats happening?
im running the 30.00 prepaid 5 gigs of data plan
You can change your data connection . Example my device always wants to go to edge, which is really slow so I lock on to wcma only which is 4 g. You can try the different connections by going to #*#*4636*#*# it will bring you to a menu you press phone information, then press your current connection and another menu will come up with available connections, pick the one you want and scroll down to refresh . I'm not sure this will do the trick but if you have any available connections you can hook up this way. It depends what's available in your area .I was going crazy with my device always going to edge so Iocked onto 4 g this way. It works for me. I do hope it helps. Are you rooted and running custom Rom? If you are and this method does not work perhaps try a different radio? Best of luck hope this helps some

im rooted running open sensation running the latest firmware so i shouldnt have to flash a radio its been working before.. for the past month i had my phone.. this is the first time its doing this..
ok im gonna update and wipe my dalvik.. see if that works
EDIT: nope.. still no data..
It's *#*#4636#*#* sorry I had that wrong in my first post
Sent from my HTC Sensation 4G using xda premium
yeah that still didnt work.. and this is really troubling me.. i posted in the opensensation thread..
I had the same problem with roms based of CM9. The only solution is to back up everything (titanium backup helps with backing up apps), wipe and re-flash.
No need for wipe.
Just re-flash the current ROM. You will have to apply all your Mods again, but the rest of the data will remain fine.
(I had the same problem about two days ago)

So only 2G works and only speaker for calls or did I read it wrong? Either way, can't wait to try it out. Thanks you guys!

No problem, I copied titanium from my other phone and restored all his games. Had no idea it had theme choser, gonna go play with some of my themes now
How do I get TWRP on this? I tried the ICS one from the TWRP Installer thread but that didn't work. Installing via Goo Manager is not an option without a network (No compatible Sim).
Just fyi the data even using 2g is giving me random reboots. Otherwise this Rom is freaking fast and smooth. I can't wait till it gains enough stability to run as a daily driver.

I had some reboots without ever inserting a SIM, mostly while restoring apps from SD via titanium pro, so it might not be just data related.
Thanks Erik!
Can't wait until the bugs are worked out to use it as a daily.
Open as per OP request, Thank You.
Awesome update on 4g data, Erikmm! I get to experience JB now. I can hold on to the S3 upgrade for another year. Slim JB on our phone is almost as snappy as JB on S3. If we can fix the wifi, it would be perfecto.
P.s. The small font and icons actually made the phone's screen looked bigger. Feels like I am having an S3.

sorry for the really stupid questions, but since the 4g reboot issue has been fixed, do we need to follow the same directions about checking the airplane mode, etc? or just install and run as normal. also, im assuming this is mtd?

sweet! i will have to pick this phone back up and use it again.....
Here's something that may go for dev-bug, but...
I wiped my phone and applied the SlimBean R2 installer as well as the SlimGApps. Full factory reset, all that fun. So hopefully no remnants causing these symptoms:
Yesterday I ran Waze (driving/mapping app) on my SlimBean for ~45 minutes without ever getting a GPS lock. Rebooted, tried again for another 30 minutes. No GPS connection.
The GPS Status app says that it's not seeing any satellites at all... so apparently my GPS isn't even trying, as my phone with ICS normally sees 10-12 satellites here. After testing with GPS Status, reflashed SlimBean, reflashed SlimGApps, checked GPS Status again. Still not a single satellite seen. Recovery, flashed YAGF2.zip (Yet Another GPS Fix 2), system, GPS Status, still nothing.
I should probably note that the cell location has been working... Waze was giving guesses as to where I was currently located based on my cell towers. Obviously Wifi location isn't working without Wifi, so the question I have is... are other people using JB actually having GPS satellite locks, or is this another current JB bug? I ask because OP doesn't mention GPS issues, though people reported reboots when GPS tries to take effect. The only GPS thing I did before was making sure that Internal GPS was actually set as the GPS source in Location services, since that wasn't checked... Internal GPS was the only option, but it wasn't checked.
If you need logs or something, let me know what you'd like. Thanks.

Our phone is infamous for its horrible GPS, try this GPS patch and see what happens, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1963915
Already had that downloaded. Let's give it a shot, and...
Reboot to recovery, flashing agps.patch.google.build.nossl.twrp.v3.1.zip, reboot to system, GPS Status sees...
Nothing. Still just "Looking for GPS location..." with no Compass (heading stays at 0 degrees) or satellites seen.
One more thing. I know it's been noted that the phone audio only works through the speaker, but music also only comes out through the speaker. At least, plugging into the headphone jack didn't make MortPlayer Audio Books actually come out through the car's sound system, it was still coming out of the speaker.

Read the notes if it doesn't work, let the GPS stay on. Try other methods on the notes.
Note 4:
This works with ANY ROM unless the ROM has aGPS and/or GPS disabled in the code. This happens with CMx nightlies and some betas! I cannot fix this, neither can you.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So... as I'm asking, has anyone actually confirmed that GPS (not location services, but GPS itself) is enabled and working? The build.prop tweak that it suggests (Note 13) doesn't appear to apply, since neither this nor ICS (AOKPm6r5) have the ro.ril.def.agps.mode forced.
Also, note that as I said before, I've let GPS Status or Waze run for going on an hour without it seeing a single satellite... GPS is NOT ENABLED on my JB. Just like Wifi, except it's marked as 'on'. I'm wondering if this is my phone hating life and needing to offer up some logs, or if this is a standard issue. -_-
That being said, when I turned off GPS and just used cell location, I had my first random reboot on second location services call (Yelp's location check). After it finished rebooting, told it to start trying to use GPS again and it went back to just guessing wildly as to my location based on cell towers without ever using GPS (GPS Status never showed in the notification bar, no little coda to signify GPS lock attempt), but also without the reboots, so that was nice.

Mobile Data Connection Dropping

I have installed ViperOne and Clean Rom and I have the same problem with both. After a while of inactivity my data will just quit working. The icon will still be there but the phone won't connect at all. I have to place it into airplane mode to fix this. And just fyi sleep mode is off and power saver is off. It's just like my phone forgets how to connect after a little while. I had ZERO problems when I was stock. And now this.....please help me!

Oh and I have also done factory resets between each Rom install so everything was clean when it was flashed.

Stock Recovery: Link :good:
You can find that and my firmware links in this thread.
Did the stock recovery so far so good but I won't know for sure until I get out and about today. It seems I didn't have the issue until it dropped from 4g to 3g back to 4g and have a decent 4g signal at home.
For now it seems as though that did the trick. I didn't loose data all day, we will see though.
Well it didn't work, I had to toggle airplane mode several times today to get data to work again.

RUU'd, stock recovery, flashed radios, and new SIM. I've tried everything. It seems as though if I'm in a low signal area where I go from 4g to 3g to Wi-Fi it happens. It's like there's a handoff problem between all the radios. Will show 4 bars of 4g but under mobile data in settings says disconnected.
Mine just started doing this. I'll RUU when I get back home to Texas.

I can confirm that it did fixed the issue, I didn't loose data all day no matter if wifi, 4g,3g, or 1x,
Same here. In the last 5 days I travelled in 3 states, large cities and very rural areas where it dropped to 3G or 1x - it never had problems to return to 4G (or getting a data connection at all).
This fix proves what's so great about these forums! I probably would have ditched a phone I totally love in all other aspects due to a problem that OEM customer service would not even acknowledge existed!
