    Post Help getting XT1575 working again while in Japan. Please!

    They must have redone their activation system since I had my issue in July. At that time there was no way for the phone to reactivate without being on Sprint's system. As far as the data, that's the same thing I had happen and they were never able to solve the problem. It would work for a...

    Post Help getting XT1575 working again while in Japan. Please!

    I'm not sure if you've already done your factory reset, but if you're on Sprint, don't do a reset. The phone can't reactivate itself off of Sprint towers. You have to be in the US when you do the reset. I was stuck with WiFi only for most of my time there because I reset mine. I never found a...

    Thread Help getting XT1575 working again while in Japan. Please!

    I'm in Japan for a couple of weeks for work and signed up for the Japan pack that Sprint offers. I spent almost an entire week working with Sprint support ( :eek: ) trying to get data roaming working properly on the phone without much luck (voice and text worked great), but yesterday I lost all...

    Post [ROM] Bad Boyz Sprint ONE M8 ROMz | 6.0 | 6.20.651.3 | Sense 7 | Updated 3.20.16

    I've got an HK phone, and I'm running 3.3 but I have a really nasty battery drain. Looking at the battery usage screen I'm seeing "Miscellaneous" is sucking down almost 50%. Any ideas where to start? No issues on 3.1 or 3.2, but 3.3 is making me have to charge 2-3x a day. I already re-flashed a...

    I have been trying out a few custom roms, and most of them have a stock messaging app that adds the option to have the screen light up when a text is received.

    I had the exact same issue with mine (same router) and solved it by disabling WMM APSD in the router settings. Wireless>professional tab>5GHz drop down box>Enable WMM APSD>Disable. A guy in the other GS4 Q&A forum gave me this solution and I haven't had an issue with it since.

    Sounds like basically the same thing. If I wait long enough, it comes back on its own, but it's faster to just cycle wifi or airplane mode once. It's fairly frustrating, and I even found myself just using 3G to do things last night instead of Wifi.

    No problems yet today on r69, even with heavy usage and OCed to 1.5 other than I've noticed that the earpiece speaker is really quiet. I tried turning it up in the DSP Manager, but it's still really quiet. Don't know if it's a rom or kernel thing, (running Anthrax kernel) but it's pretty bad.
