I have been doing a bit of searching around, haven't seen to run in to much.
But my proximity sensor doesn't work..at all along with auto brightness. All of this worked before and I'm running stock rooted.
I've had the phone for 3 days.
I read some where that it could be Google voice but I uninstalled that and it still doesn't work.
Should I return the phone for another? Or could it just be conflicting applications?

Try the Sensor List app...
Went to AT&T and they said something about DoA and brought out a new S3 that worked properly. Even let me keep the battery from the messed up S3.
But I tried resetting and restoring the phone, re flashed stock latest AT&T rom and the sensors still didn't work. So I reset the flash counter of 1 from rooting I suppose and had my device replaced.

Does this mean for me too. Though I didn't notice it until I dirty flashed a ROM over stock.
But I may just have never restarted prior to the flash, so I can't be sure it's related.
This is a know issue with JB 4.1.1 and was corrected with JB 4.1.2 update. We now just have to wait till AT&T pushes it to us.
I've only noticed the keyboard issue on the stock ATT rom. I've been on the tmobile rom for 2 days and haven't noticed a keyboard issue at all.

My GPS doesn't lock anymore. I think it may be something with the phone itself because I've tried more than four different ROMS and it searches for GPS/location on all of them.
I am using the latest Pacman AOKP ROM as my daily driver. I tried another GPS app (telnav) and I got an instant lock. I also tried the GPS fix app but that didn't help.
Does any one know what might have gone wrong or have suggestions on how to fix it. Thanks

I had the same weird problem you have. I got it working and it's been fine ever since.
Heres wat I did.
Went to settings > Application manager > ALL > Maps
Cleared Cache
Cleared Data
Uninstalled Updates
Then Unninstalled Maps
Rebooted and installed Maps from the market.
Enabled the GPS
Started navigation and it worked just like it should.
Good Luck!

Actually I was in AOKP and then I flashed the latest version of Frosty, but my GPS was working after that. Then I flashed a few different Kernels to see which one worked better. I flashed Ktoonsez first, then Deviant, and finally I settled on Xone Kernel. It was then that I realized my GPS didn't work. So I'm not sure what messed it up.

Make sure you ODIN back to T999UVLEM, that seemed to have worked for me. I had ODIN back to another one (cant remember which right now) and it didn't work.

Thank you. I was about to give up fixing my gps.
I tried other jb builds (custom and stock).
I tried other stock ics builds.
I tried those gps "fixes" on the appstore.
..nothing.
Finally tried the FIRST ics build (T999UVALEM)..worked!
phew...

I just updated my phone yesterday, and im having two issues. The main issue is the flasshing red boarder around the entire screen the appears mostly when switching apps, going home, and turning on/off. It even happens during the boot-up.
Second, my keyboard is lagging. I have all of the "feedback" features turned off and it still does it. No 3rd party boards installed. I really like the new keyboard and I wont have some third party app developers recording every keystroke.
Any ideas?

I wasn't aware there even was on OTA update to 4.1.1. Far as I knew you could only do it through Kies. Maybe try redoing it through that? Or find the stock image on here and flash it through Odin.

Check the developer options. One of them is set to update when the screen draws. Just disable anything in there you don't need.

It was a dubuging feature turned on.
4.1 is available OTA for AT&T right now.
I dont know when it became available, but its really nice. I use adw pro launcher always on all my android devices so I dont get the full experience of 4.1. I really love what they did with the keyboard and the dropdown, but I really wish they kept the data switch there.
My battery life is not as good anymore though...
Anyway, let me know if its not available to you.

Nvmnd it didnt completely fix the problem.
It doesnt do it nearly as much, but its still there. I will redo from kies.

Hey guys I'm having some problems on miui and my phone in general. I have no root permission in miui and it force closes when I try to enter the app. Also I can't log onto xda if I'm not on WiFi.
This is probably my fave ROM and want to avoid going back. I don't have 4g and if I do its very slow and also my phone will cut in and out. I was wondering if there's any work a rounds to my problems, I flash correctly and fix permissions after I flash so I have no idea what I'm doing wrong. I'm scared of my imei corrupting cause its happened a few times and can't back it up with miui cause I don't have permissions. I just reflash it and that works. I'm using cwm. Seems like literally nothing else I've tried works, flashing wise. Could it be my version of cwm is out dated? Also wondering if anyone has ever replaced their screen with one that's $14 off amazon and if the 7000 Nah battery is real. Thanks if anyone is able to answer my questions

Hey folks. I've mostly been a lurker around here for a number of years and never posted but I've recently encountered a problem I can't seem to fix on my own. Here's some basic info.
Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919)
Stock ROM (rooted)
Android 4.2.2
BB Version M919UVUAMDL
Kernel Version 3.4.0_562219
Recovery Clockwork Mod Touch
The problem I'm having is that I have to leave my phone with auto rotation off. If I turn it on, landscape and portrait rotations are 180 degrees off, flipped, upside down, etc etc. I've been searching high and low for some way to fix this and no dice! Please let me know what I can do. I have tried accelerometer recalibration and a few apps but I just can't get it to work right.I would like to avoid a re-wipe. I finally have everything just right. Wipes irritate the heck out of me because I guess Clockwork Recovery can't access backups on the external SD card? Ugh.
Problem: flipped screen, camera up side down, camera flipped, screen 180, screen upside down. Reverse portrait, reverse landscape.
Fix: Had bad kernel. Flashed to a newer ktoonz kernel and it fixed the problem.
BTW: I just realized that my camera is also in fact flipped 180. Sheesh. This is a royal pain.

Are you perhaps using a kernel not meant for tmobile? I ported roms for the galaxy s 3 and they always did that unless you used a kernel meant for your devicce.

Im not sure what lernel that is im sorry.just got my s4. But anyhow is it a custom kernel that you flashed? If so make sure you got it from a tmobile thread. Or if you would rather it maybe easier to flash a tmobile kernel such as ktoonz and see if that fixes the issue.

Just figured out its a custom ktoonz kernel. Replaced it with old stock kernel with suid removed and problem seems fixed by my sd card went south when I did. Cant mount it. Copying files off it now.

I am seeing the reversed auto rotation on my wife's GS4(SPH-L720) and it is stock unrooted. She has made no changes to anything! Camera and menu's are upside down. Web pages are upside down. She needs to keep auto-rotation off, just to use it! Others online with the same problem have been doing factory resets with no luck. One person did 3 or 4 factory resets and still has the same problem. My rooted GS4 is ok (so far) but hers (not rooted) is driving her nuts. She will never root hers (and would be angry with me if she knew mine was rooted). Any help at all would be appreciated.

If it is stock and unroofed the only explanation would be hardware IMO..... There isn't another explanation especially if a factory reset doesn't help it.
