worst fear, cdma (sprint) data issues already? - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

so stock is great but we all know we love our custom roms and have our favorite devs. i saw cataclysm rom pop up the other day and flashed, all working fine (data provisioned like it should, etc). this morning i noticed a good number of custom roms appeared for us. so i naturally wanted to give them a run (alpha or not), 3 different roms (omni, unofficial carbon, and asylum) all with the same result. it will sit on the provisioning data service screen until it times out and asks you to try again. now somebody in omni replied saying it was a known issue.
here is my concern/question i guess, are we going to see issues bc sprint didnt actually get out of the way and just give up binaries to google? my understanding was one rom should work on all variants. i am not foreign to data issues and sprint as i had the sprint gnex but this was me giving them one last chance before taking it to tmobile, which we can fortunately do with the n5.

Definitely frustrating today for sure. There's a lot of cool ROM's that we're not able to enjoy yet.
I've been sending some PM's around and I can assure you that there are people looking into it. I see the following scenarios as possibilities:
- We may need to create a flashable zip of the Sprint APN settings. It would need to be flashed after every ROM/Gapps install. AT&T and Straight Talk already have a thread for this.
- The devs (except for Rascarlo who already said he will not do this) may start to take notice and try to fix it when building their ROM's. It may be a HiddenMenu issue.
- Worst Case Scenario - we have a separate Sprint Development Forum. Because we have the same model number, I doubt it will come to this though.

well this is really dissapointing then. this "one phone for all" seems to be a bill of goods. will probably just be switching to tmobile when i can and not having to deal with sprint being in the way. if it is this way already and there hasnt even been an update, i do not have high hopes for us cdma users.
edit: i am sure devs are working on this and will get it working in some way. just stinks and its weird that cataclysm is working just fine when it comes to data but 3 others didnt.

nice...i remember slimkat having working data when i gave it a go the other day. i am happy to test the fix if you or he wants to pm me. i used to test for sourcery on sprint gnex so i am good at putting things through the paces and can run logcats if need be.

I also think someone is going make flashable zips that I'll be testing later as well. That way we'll have options for ROMs where the devs don't build the fix in their ROMs.

Honestly the devs need to post roms compatible with cdma or not post them in this forum. nexus firmware is the same for both variants and custom/aosp roms should follow the same rule.

patience, padawans. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47396073&postcount=192 answers you will find.

I was and have always been under the impression that MIUI didn't require GApps..? The ability to log into a Google account is built-in, and the ROM comes with Gmail.
I have noticed that Jeff stopped updating the ROM on MIUI.us. I can continue updating the ROM there if needed, but I'd rather have someone else take it over since I have recently left Sprint and their crappy data speeds.

No need! I have not stopped, just waiting for a stable ICS build to port instead. There have been minor changes that don't really effect us, so I haven't been porting weekly.
So I'm going to apologize for the stupid question ahead of time, I promise I'm usually not this slow on Mondays. But quick question.. I have a 3G symbol (I think I understand the meaning of that), a signal bar with a E, and a signal bar with a 1X.....
What are all the signal bars for?

1x is not 3g..what you get when 3g is not available..like sending msgs and phone calls..
if im not wrong...e represents edge and h is hspda
It is that way because China made a lot of changes go the cdma code. Everything works besides how the signal is shown

edit - from: http://miuiandroid.com/2012/01/miui-rom-no-release-this-week/
Hi everyone,
Should of probably mentioned this earlier in the week but i’ve been exceptionally busy with work.
Due to the new year in China there will be no development ROM this week for MIUI. Normal development will resume in the coming days following from the weekend.
Please dont spam the comments with ‘Please port my phone’ type questions or otherwise. They will be deleted.
We hope everyone has a great weekend and we’ll be back in next week with a nice new update and hopefully some more exciting news on ICS and other developments we’ve been aware of by Xiaomi.
Thanks,
Mark

With every OTA the question is the same - could this possibly lock the bootloader again? This looks like it's just an updated gmail and play store apk, wonder why its 62MB in size.

It just says 'email' not 'Gmail'. We wouldn't get an update to Gmail from Verizon, we'd get it from the play store. Or the leaked one that's kicking around the forums.

The no SIM problem I wouldn't think would be a software issue considering it doesn't affect all the phones. There are many many people who do not have this issue. I'm actually pretty sure I read something a while ago that said the SIM cards they are making are crappy quality, therefor that could be the culprit. I dunno tho for sure.
I don't know about that. That is something I have been thinking about lately..... I have been having a problem with my phones service, I live in a strong 3g and 4g area, and after I rooted both of my GS3's they started dropping service left and right where before they hadn't. The more I have read about the no sim issue the more it sounds just like my service dropping problem just without the no sim message appearing for me. So I wonder if more of the phone have it than we think and we think the terrible service is because of the radios when in all actuality its the no sim error and it just doesn't pop up the no sim message..... yes I know Samsung radios are crap on Verizon but I have plenty more Samsung phones that have never had any service issue whatsoever, whereas this phone you have to hold you head a certain way with both your arms stretched out and your tongue touching your nose just to send a message.

Buying T-Mobile S4 instead of AT&T?

hi guys,
so i am in the market for a new phone and decided to sticking with Samsung and going to an S4. the problem is that with all the bs about the locked bootloader, i do not feel confident about buying the AT&T model and to be honest, i also don't feel like giving AT&T any of my money. so that leaves me with 2 options: go with the GE which is a lot more expensive and also only comes in white or just buy a T-Mobile model and get it unlocked so i can use it on AT&T. so my question is if anybody here did that and just bought a T-Mobile model and runs it on AT&T?
any other advice?
I bought the t-mobile s4. I run it on AT&T and have had no real problems. The one thing that I have noticed, running a few custom roms, is that LTE drops in and out.
I've also noticed some weird behavior regarding talk and data. If I take a phone call, data ceases to work for a few seconds. I'm pretty sure this is an apn setting or a rom issue. Nothing to do with the network I'm running on or anything like that.

That or just run a AT&T Rom. I am under the impression they are the same device, once you confirm that I would recommend just running an AT&T rom to avoid issues. If I am wrong please someone let me know. It would have to be the non Loki version.
Their may be some international roms you can flash as well
Please double check this information before flashing, even though they seem to have almost everything in common they may differ in minor ways (radios and so on) I do not have a S4 to test and have not read around.

trust me, if it was up to me, i would have kicked AT&T a LONG time ago since i really do hate this company and how they treat their customers. however, since i don't actually pay the bill (my company pays for my phone and it is their account), i don't have any other option.

Honestly I do not mind AT&T at this point. Yes, locking down phones and cheating people out of money bugs the crap out of me... but they have been really good to me.
In the last couple of months they have:
1. Let me upgrade to the HTC One for $200 without charging one of my upgrade and waived the activation fee
2. Gave me the option of canceling all my lines early or take credits for my trouble
3. Gave me about $300+ in credits
4. Told me that I can upgrade early on my line that isn't available for an upgrade until May of 2014 (just as long as it is not an iPhone)... I'm going to save it for the next big thing.
How can I complain?

Yeah I got really lucky. Talked to all the right people and they were great. I find that you have to push a little and they will help, don't accept the first thing you hear. Everyone at AT&T will give you a different answer so it can be hard. I also noticed that a lot of them have different policies and things they can do. They have no idea what the other call centers are saying.

I have run AT&T as well as T-Mobile ROMs. I believe you need to (I have been doing so, after getting a black screen) run a T-mobile kernel though. None of the custom roms I have flashed have radios or modems in them. Generally, custom roms don't include them, because well terrible if you flash the wrong thing.

Getting back to it.

Hello xda friends,
I've dusted off the relay 4g & playing around with android again to keep my hands busy.
My Question of the day is, are there enough people still using this device to be testers? I've been looking at porting since that's just what I've always done for fun, and currently I'm using the LG G3 on verizon so I won't be able to do network/data testing on tmo.
The other thing, I left off on 4.2/4.3 and wondering if anyone can fill in the blanks regarding issues going to KK/LP.
I've already read some posts regarding memory leaks in LP, and Recovery issues I think..
Happy Modding!

Dude, drop in to IRC. Dev is pretty close to dead on Relay right now, since Nard and I don't *have* relay's any more, and Magamo's busy in his new parental role...
Before I got rid of mine, I did get 5.0 running on it reasonably OK. Some of the inherent 5.0 glitches made the experience slightly.... crunchy, but it was fully functional. 5.1 would probably work pretty well on it.

Thanks for the direction & I'll see what I can put together, I'm sure I'll have to mess with the 8960-common now.
I'm surprised cm is not supported pasted 11. As I didn't have to mod frameworks?

I've posted booting repositories if anyone is interest in getting cm officially supported again. Might jump into irc later to night & ask the guys about it.

As of the last time TeamApexQ's repos were touched, CM12 booted, but audio was borked due to a CM change that I never had the time to figure out. -- Never did get around to starting with Android 5.1 on this thing. Nor did we touch Omni after the 5 upgrade, because for a long time their CAF trees were... inadequate.
Eugene, did you gave up on our relay? I hope not.
Just found this thread. Been hoping for signs of life (although this thread is looking pretty dead). Still using the relay until it dies, and would love to see LP or MM on it.

I'm still here, though I agree things are looking pretty dead. Within the next few weeks, I plan to either be gone from here, or be looking into becoming a new nightly provider.
My wife's Relay is having problems, and I fear it's a hardware fault. The proximity detector seems to get stuck. When she takes it away from her ear, the screen stays black, and I'm really not sure what lets it clear its state and display the screen, again. If it's a hardware fault, we're buying two new phones in the next few weeks. I've tried all sorts of things, except a factory reset, and that's next.
If the factory reset works, and I'm able to get it running again, then I want to see new nightlies, even if I have to be the one building them. The sticky part will be getting enough assistance to where I can start building them.
I still use my Relay 4g as my main phone and I'm trying to port LP to it. But I'm still a noob so it will take some time
My main too. I really need to find the time to poke around the code for this thing..
Just noticed this thread now (ha!). I'm using my Relay as my backup phone - but hey, sometimes I do need a backup! Happy to do some testing if it helps. I'd love to have 5.1.1 on it.
Im still rockin the relay also as my main device, but I'm probably gonna get the priv for Christmas.
If there will be cm12.1 I will install it.

Same. The Blackberry Priv I hear has a super disappointing keyboard. I'm hoping Samsung picks up on the idea that people still want keyboards and makes SOMETHING for us.

Marshmallow will get here when it gets here.

I understand the craving for an update, but it seems every week there's a new thread asking when Marshmallow will arrive. I understand the irony of this statement, but please do not make anymore threads asking when the update will be out. Those are questions better suited for your carrier (I'm sure they have forums). Threads promoting discussion about Marshmallow are okay, such as asking what you're looking forward to most, but simply asking when it's going to be out is not making it come any faster.
While you're waiting, try flashing some of the ROMs, Kernels, and recoveries that our fantastic devs so graciously provide to us for free. @TEKHD, @jovy23, @foreverloco, @dr.ketan, @arter97, and @UpInTheAir (If I've forgotten anyone, I apologize) have all done amazing work for our device on the current version of Android. Take this time to test out their ROMs/kernels and if you get bored, flash another one. Explore all the settings and options. There is a lot you can do with what you've been given here.
Sorry. Rant over.
Thank you for saying what needed to be said. Although I am currently on the latest ROM and kernel from @TEKHD and @UpInTheAir, I was stock for the first 5 months of owning the Note 5. It runs more than fine on 5.1.1, and for everyone complaining that the M8 or M9 are getting MM on T-Mobile before us, there's a good reason for it. HTC has released MM for the international models and Samsung hasn't yet. T-Mobile can't release what they don't have.
I am also running stock 5.1.1 with root on my N5 and it's perfectly fine with LP. I'm in no rush for the MM update. There's a chance it may bring issues along with it and I read somewhere that it would be some time in March when we can see the update. Everyone just needs to hang tight.

Well said, sirs. I'd personally prefer to wait longer if it meant that most of the bugs and issues are ironed out when it finally hits our device. A solid, smooth update that comes a tad late is better than a half-assed buggy update that comes immediately.

Just what needed to be said, it may not have the new software, but I love my Note 5 just the way it is, and when Marshmallow comes out, it will be even better.

People generally feel there need to want the latest and greatest, in this case, the most up to date version of Android. I personally don't think MM will add much benefit to the note 5 because 5.1.1 is already quite good. Especially when you compare it to previous versions on tw.
If you want mm so badly, simply sell your note 5 and buy a nexus 6p. ;p it's crossed my mind a few times.
I was just thinking about this. As soon as an upgrade is pending many people all of a sudden seem to be unhappy with the phone until they get it.

Word. Nevermind that 5.1.1 runs like a bandit on the Note 5. Doze and permission control will be nice, but Samsung implemented the app optimization feature and the ROM I'm running right now has permission control as well. I'm not sure what else people want.
I'm sure the same people crying for the update will also be the ones to pin point and complain about every minor bug like it's some experience-breaking issue.
Just wait until it arrives and 37 threads pop up from sub 50 post users all notifying us of the update. Just trying to boost their thanks/post count and acting like little kiddies. I remember the note 4 general thread when an update dropped.
Anyone that is getting ansy for the MM update should read up on the 5.0 lollipop update on the Moto X 2014, my previous phone. Was one of the first to get the update, and so it had all the bugs. Didn't ever get totally sorted out, although 5.1 made it much better.
It could be around the corner:
"Samsung Galaxy Note 5 - February 2016"
Sammy is working on it, which means we'll likely see it late in the summer...ish.

I like the thread where the OP asks if anyone has received the update yet.

It looks like the AT&T Note5 has a beta test that just went live today, not many testers but someone that is on XDA got it, might be some kind of beta firmware floating around in the not too distant future. Also good news that Samsung is getting that far on any carrier, might have something for Tmo in the not so distant future.

Take this with a *HUGE* grain of salt, but I would suspect they're testing MM on AT&T because they're the largest GSM carrier in the US, and they also love to modify the builds more than T-Mobile does.
I doubt we'll see mm until the gs7 arrives
