Tello support Below is a modification to the MVNO APN updater adding support for Tello and removing support for RingPlus. With the demise of RingPlus, many former subscribers, like myself, are migrating to Tello. After completing my migration, I discovered I had erratic data connectivity and...

Factory data reset When attempting reset of the phone with settings, the reset button does not function. ie: Under Settings -> Backup & reset -> RESET PHONE -> ERASE EVERYTHING When attempting to reset via AP Fastboot Mode (Power on + Volume down) -> Recovery, the reset loops repeatedly...

Here is some additional background on the history of 3G/4G HSPA+ if you are interested in the whole story... http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Mobile-and-Wireless/TMobiles-HSPA-Network-Is-It-Really-4G-505229/ ---------- Post added at 08:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:31 PM ----------...

Yes, so more confusion introduced by T-Mobile marketing... :laugh: The 3G option you see on OmniRom is refering to HSPA+. Since OmniRom is not branded by T-Moblie, their marketing people did not have the opportunity to change the 3G in the options to 4G, and the H in the status bar to...

Sorry, but the T599 does not support LTE. Unfortunately, "4G" is used by marketing departments of the various phone carriers to mean many different things. In the past, T-Mobile has marketed their HSPA+ network (thus the H you see displayed on the phone) as "4G". Currently, T-Mobile markets...

Although I am currently running on dadcup's CM11 M7 build, I have discovered that switching the runtime to ART also seems to address the GPS performance issues on this device. You might give this a shot on Vanir if you are feeling adventurous. If you prefer to not switch runtimes, you might...

After some more experimentation with trying to improve GPS performance, I have discovered that changing the runtime from Dalvik to ART seems to address this problem. When running with ART, I am getting immediate GPS locks. :good: Not sure why this helps, but in my testing it definitively...

I have had success with Odin 3.07

GPS Fix After struggling with getting the GPS to lock on the various T599 (I am on the T-Mobile variant) builds, including Samsung Stock firmware, I think I have found a solution. Although I have not seen reports of too many others struggling with the GPS, on my phone, using Google Maps for...

I installed the latest build of DarkCM (20140411) and Netflix now appears to be running well after setting the Maximum CPU frequency to 1305 Mhz. :good: Thank you jfbs for providing this ROM. It has been my daily driver for a couple of weeks now. :highfive:

I can confirm this happens to me as well. GPS locking appears to be slow, taking a minute or two to lock. The other ROMs (Vaniar, CM 11, Omni ) also appear to do the same.

:good: Just took a second look and it appears OK now. Thank you for taking a look!

GPS does not appear to be functioning on the 0406 build of BeanStalk. To test: 1) I set Settings > Location > Mode = Device Only 2) Used Maps app to display current location. Result: Maps unable to update to display my current location. This behavior also exists on the 0406 build of Omni...

Same issues with Netflix appear with this ROM.

I discovered with the "Google Camera" (installed from Banks GAPPS) that when 1) Front Camera is selected 2) Options > More Options > Picture Size is selected a popup appears stating "Unfortunately, Camera has stopped". I captured a logcat and see this... [ 03-29 11:23:23.018 2543: 2543...

FWIW, it looks like similar issues are being reported over on the S3 Mini thread for CM11. I see mention of reboot while charging and also the "stuck" clock in the notification bar. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2521593&page=649 I am currently running Exothermic's latest...

Looks good. :) Carrier ID fix - :good: Vibration fix - :good: Bluetooth tethering fix - :good:

Thanks! I think that is the problem. The Haptic feedback is working, but is very soft, so I did not even notice. :highfive:

As discussed in the BeanStalk thread, the "stuck" time display issue occurs on this ROM also. A toggle of Airplane mode was able to refresh the time display in the notification bar. As suggested, I have proceeded to updated the governor to abyssplug. I will report back if I see the clock...

Nice! Thank you from bringing CM 11 up to date. :victory: Probably also a bug on the other ROMS for T599 (BeanStalk, Vanar, OmniROM) but I notice that the Haptic Feedback is not working. Settings > Sound > Vibrate on touch

Not convinced that this issue is directly related to Automatic date & time and Automatic Time Zone settings, as the Clock app displays the correct time, as does the Date and Time field in the settings you refer to. Therefore, I assume the internal clock of the phone must be correct My guess...

Encountered this issue today. This morning, when "waking" the phone at about 10AM, the phone displayed 5:20. Later, at about 11:20 AM, the phone displayed 10 AM after wake up. Then, waking up the phone again at 11:30 AM, the phone displayed 11:20. It seemed it would display the time of the...

Bluetooth tethering working now. Thanks! :good:

Flashed the GPS update to test. Seems fine, although GPS was working well with last build also. I use GPS for navigation and both versions of config seem to lock quickly and track accurately. :good: I am running on T-Moble network.

:good: Setting the props to false solved the problem with mp3 playback.

Updated to the 3/16 build of Beanstalk on the T-Mobile T599 variant. Utilized CWM recovery from Unjust's VanirAOSP thread. I can confirm it works with 3/16 Beanstalk. :good: Previously I reported that user requested Shutdown would reboot the phone. That is now fixed. :good: Issues...

Below is a portion of logcat output produced from an attempt to play an MP3 (Cloud Nothings - Stay Useless.mp3) through Google Play Music. D/LocalAsyncMediaPlayer( 1654): Event logging MUSIC_START_PLAYBACK_REQUESTED: 291/: local playback I/ExtendedUtils( 152): AV Sync late margin ...

Ok, a performed a little more testing. I tried both Apollo and Google Play Music which I downloaded from the play store. My experience matches wrusry in the post above. For testing, I downloaded example files for .wav, .flac, and .ogg. These formats play fine with both Apollo and Google...

Thank you Cars! Ringtones are working with this updated kernel. Still encountering same play back error with MP3.

For what it is worth, I was one of the lucky ones who had success with the early jfbs builds. I recall your phone had problems with the early builds also. Maybe that issue has crept back in. As I recall, it was some issue with the kernel.

No problems like that here. Prior to installation I performed a "Factory Reset", and once in CWM Recovery v6.0.4.7 I made sure everything was clear by performing the following steps. 1) Wipe data/factory reset 2) Wipe cache partition 3) Mounts & Storage -> format /system 4) advanced -> wipe...

The Google Camera available from Banks GAPPS works in Portrait and Landscape both with Still and Video modes. http://goo.im/devs/BaNkS/GApps/4.4.2

:good: Installation was successful. Looks like MP3 playback is not working. The Google Play Music app reports "Music Playback error. Couldn't play the track you requested."

Issue - low priority: When Stock AOSP mode is enabled (Settings -> Developer options -> Stock mode), selecting Display (Settings -> Display) results in failure of Settings with message "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". Workaround: Disable Stock mode prior to accessing Display settings...

The same thing happened to me, but while running Beanstalk. I have been running Vanir for the past few days and I have not seen any issues with FC or reboot yet. Battery life appears to be excellent, lasting 48 + hours with light use. I am running the T-Mobile variant.

Tethering Nice to see a few ROMs for the T599! I am testing on the T599 T-Mobile variant. Maybe there is an issue with Bluetooth. Bluetooth tethering is not working. But, WiFi tethering is working fine. :good:

I encountered the same problem. To be sure, I reverted back to stock factory Samsung Rom and performed factory reset. Also performed all wipes. Using cwm.6047.t679. Tried installing with and without GAPPS. Stuck on spinning screen. :eek:

Testing on T599 T-Mobile variant: I can confirm both In call audio and GPS are now working. :good: Only minor new issue I see is: 1) selecting Power off in the shutdown menu results in a reboot. The work around I used was to pull the battery after shutdown and before beginning reboot...

Testing the T599/T-Mobile variant recovery & ROM. Issues encountered: 1) Placing a call, no audio on both ends of call. (Recipient of call can not hear caller, caller can not hear recipient) 2) GPS issues. Using Map Navigation while traveling by automobile, location mapping would jump...

I am running the 307 build on the T-Mobile T599 variant. I note a couple of very minor low priority issues. 1) The Carrier Label on the Lock Screen displays "310260", rather than "T-MOBILE" My APN is set to T-Mobile US LTE. This issue has also been reported on the BeanStalk ROM by...

Thank you TripFX for the work you did to get ION running on the T679. That combined with KitKat from jfbs has pushed the life of my Exhibit II 4G out a bit longer. I am sitting on an Exhibit T599, but continue to use my T679 as I like the pure Android experience and not TouchWiz so much...

Thank you for the links. I did try the latest build (1/31) but encountered the same issue with Sound Search. I have moved back to the 1/23 build due to an issue with the Setup Wizard which I will discuss in a separate post. I am very happy with the 1/23 build and give many thanks to jfbs and...

Sound Search for Google Play on CM 11 I have been running the 1/23 CM 11 jfbs build with packaged kernel as well. Kudos to jfbs, et all for delivering this. My Exhibit II was purchased in December of 2011, purchased shortly after T-Mobile released the phone. The only issue I have...

Samsung Open Source Code for the T-599 Samsung has a portal where open source code for the T-599 has been posted. Not sure if there is anything here to help, but I wanted to pass on the news. (I became aware of this after reading a post in the T-399 discussion.) The URL is opensource dot...

FWIW, Google has documented the following. You'll need a device running Android 4.0.3+. Devices running 4.0.2 and below can still use Google Maps for mobile 6.14.4. However, these devices typically don’t have many of the hardware capabilities and APIs needed for the new Google Maps. This...

Just installed Cyanogenmod 10 on my one year old Galaxy Exhibit 4G. It seems to be running more smoothly than the OEM firmware. Thanks! I did notice that the included Torch app does not illuminate the rear LED. This is possibly a known issue, as implied in the post I found above. But...
