Sprint Galaxy Note 4 (910P) vs. Canada (910W8) - I WANT FM RADIO - Sprint Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Ok.. so I've been doing some investigating. These are virtually the same hardware. Qualcomm Processor, 3GB RAM, same sound, video, etc chips.
Sprint has enabled the FM radio in their unit .. Nobody in Canada has.
How can we extract what Sprint did for their model so I can do it on mine? Or can I just flash a P rom on this unit? That seems like a no-go but then I can't see any physical difference between the two units.
Thanks for whatever advice is out there..

I'm not a dev. But i do some modding. I think that's all software related. So either pull the correct files from a Sprint Rom with proper csc setup. Or flash a sprint Rom with your kernel and data fix. Either way might work.
Just don't do anything blindly. Make a complete backup of phone and do some more research. Best advice i have! Good luck!

I don't have time but from what looking i did. Try adding this to the others.xml file in csc folder:
<CscFeature_Common_SupportNextRadio>TRUE</CscFeature_Common_SupportNextRadio>
And this file attached into framework folder:.
I'm not for sure this is all you need but i believe these have to do with it.

THANKS!

So you are right on the money. I've spent the day comparing identical versions of the same software release. One from SPRINT the other a Canadian carrier's version of the same ROM.
These are the two biggest catches I've run across. There maybe a few minor points, but I'm not sure how relevant they are. So I'm going to start here. A painful sense of 'this is somehow controlled via a kernel setting' lingers but.. to those willing to risk it all, bla bla bla.. here we go!
I'll report back shortly.

I'm not by my pc, but i noticed files pertaining to this in the following system folders:

Might want to check other folders in /etc also, like firmware.

I've found files in those same folders that bear relevance. And further, there's a system level android permission :
android.permission.ACCESS_FM_RADIO
And then.. the final point - the sticky-wicket -- probably some change in the kernal to support all of the above.
I continue to tinker -- no success yet.

I've just recently tried also, even on a sprint phone. No go yet.
It must be all software related. As i stated, I'm even on n910p but what I'm trying to accomplish is running a gsm rom on it. So that proves in missing software. Hopefully for you it isn't built into the framework files. Might be kernel. I'll try. Let you know.

In comparing the DPK1 rom between Sprint and Rogers.. other than the areas I've mentioned .. much of it appears to be the same.
My goal here is to know a) if it's in the kernel or just all in the standard software.
My gut says i'ts NOT in the kernel.. but

but they don't have the same lte bands right ?

Samsung announced FM tuners will be enabled in most smart phones in the Canadian marketplace!

[Q] Some WIFI Problems with FROYO X on Rhod210 - HTC Touch Pro 2

Hi, I noob on this of an Android Phone, I have a HTC TOUCH PRO 2, RHOD210.
I install the FROYO X 2011.01.12 and i put the kernel that have the packet than run the camera and this is OK.
My problem is that the wifi interface is not workink, i am try a lot of solutions that found in this forum, but nothing is ok for me, i change the rootfs like suggest in a forum, modify the wifi-nvram.txt and put the mac address of the wifi, i update the kernel to Latest Kernel Commit# 1253, and i have the same problem.
could someone tell me how to solve the wifi of my rhod210?
Please, I do not want to use windows mobile
How about you just run with vanilla FRX03 and then try to get fancy with it?
Let us know how that works, then we can work on updating your kernel. If you're a noob at swimming, you don't start in the deep end...

Sorry, i'm only was trying to solve the problems for my self.
I understand that some of these RHOD210 if they have managed to run the wifi.
I tell you that I use from the beginning FRX03 and it worked well, at least part of the telephone, sound and GPS, but other things did not work, so I started to search the forums and trying different solutions. but I have not found a way to walk the wifi which is what most interests me, so probe, with the latest versions of the kernel etc.
Thanks, I know I'm a rookie, but I like trying to find solutions to the problems I have ....

Erm, I guess I should be more specific.
Where did you download vanilla FRX03? Also, FRX03 is Froyo, so I assume you mean that Froyo 'X' build tiad8 put together.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean "slow with this kernel" - by vanilla FRX03 build, I mean the complete bundle - not just the kernel. Plus, kernels are not tied to system images... So I'm not sure what you mean.

Well then, I guess you just can't have wifi...
Honestly, every single person either wifi "just works", or they have to do the wifi-nvram trick. I've never heard of anyone not being able to use wifi, that didn't try the wifi-nvram trick - and those people were definitely in the minority. Vast majority of people, wifi works perfectly fine for.
Please, be a little more diligent. I can't do this troubleshooting for you, I can only point you in the right direction. I need you to do some legwork, as I can't see what you're doing.

Fine, i go to format again my SD-CARD and start from zero, any installer recomeded? or pick the installer that i want?
how do I find out my exact model, I'm assuming is that it's RHOD210 for photos and that according to information I have read I understand that T-Mobile only has this HTC TOUCH PRO2, can that be part of my error, there is a way to identify exactly which model is?

Thank you very much to everyone who answered me and all the developers of this project so interesting, yesterday succeeded in solving the problems I had, my SD formatting, reinstalling Froyo x version 2011.01.12 and puts a kernel of the chamber, after That did the trick again wifi-nvram.txt file, according to the link that let me arrrghhh one of the threads of this forum, after that the WIFI has started to work wonders.
Then my HTC Touch Pro 2, RHOD210 remain with:

CAMERA
GPS
PHONE, DATA AND YOU
AUDIO
Thank you very much.

Other problems
These days I've been testing my phone RHOD210 Android, after having settled about the WIFI, but I noticed a problem is that the phone is locked, I can receive a call and make a call, and thereafter ceases to operate the module telephony, change the 1214-Dirty kernel that runs the camera for the 1253 and I have the same problem, another thing I noticed is that the speakerphone does not work completely, it is telling me the microphone works but not the headphones, someone happened?

Uhm... the older kernel doesn't have the commits for speakerphone mic I would say. Once it all gets committed to GIT it will be a lot less confusing - just a lot of code that's in testing right now basically.

What kernel do you recommend for my RHOD210, the 1253 is doing that the phone will be frozen and I have to Quiaro the battery and put it again to restart the system.
Wonder that in the future will be able to remove the windows and flash the device with adro to make it natively? : D

Well, I'd recommend 1250 then I guess... Usually I recommend the newest GIT kernel, which is currently 1253.
FYI, you already can remove Windows and flash the device to run Android natively. It's just not as stable as haret, but it's getting there. Plus, it's only a partial NAND boot - only init and the zImage are actually loaded on the MTD if I'm not mistaken, everything else is on the SD card (which is still 99% of the data...)
But, if you're feeling brave and really do want to completely get rid of WinMo, NAND boot away... can't say I didn't warn ya

I'm running S4 Google Edition on T-Mo S4

Hey whats up everyone. After doing some research, and a gusty move, I read what people had to say in the link below:
Thanks goes to the thread of the GT-I9505 thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2341026
This link has the steps to install the S4 Google Edition (Full system Dump) to our T-Mo S4's.
It's a pretty small file, and as always, create a backup before you install. I wiped my themed stock rom, then flashed the GE sys dump.
I've confirmed the following:
* Camera works / Video
* LTE works
* Phone calls work
* NFC works
* SMS / MMS works
* Wi-Fi does NOT work
There's a couple of other tests that I didn't run, but I'm still getting a feel for this as I write this.
Any questions should be directed to the link above, not here. But i'm sure by grabbing that system dump, that we can work out the Wi-Fi issue, or leave it to our developers hands. Thanks everyone!

Haha I did it while I was at work, too. No special kernels needed. Just as C.Sweat said, just download, backup, wipe, and flash.
My issue was that I downloaded the system dump from a different source link, thus im sure there was something corrupt or not compatible with the Wi-fi in that specific sys. dump. I'm not even going to do a logcat or any of that, especially if there's already a fully functional dump of the GE.
For those who want to install the Google Edition, please go here: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BxsSDB2hKUxgZDFoR0xNdldLTW8/edit?usp=sharing
Maybe someone can dive into the rom and pull the GE photosphere camera and port it into the stock TW rom, instead of having to find working patches and stuff. I doubt it'll port over (maybe the gallery will) straight out of the sys. dump, but for those who wanna try - have at it .
Also, another thing to note is that Google Wallet fully works (of course without XPosures' patching), and we're not given that "It's not available for your provider" nonsense.
This rom = So much win!

Any idea why wifi did not work at first?
After installing the full system dump from GPe to TMo hardware... are there any software differences that remain between the devices? Kernel, etc? Or are they truly 100% identical? Thanks!
Haven't tried yet, but am anxious.
Anyone check NFC, IR Blaster yet?
I was just over at the AT&T GS4 forum and they are talking about some partition difference.
If that's the case, then some GBs of space will be wasted
Is there something like that on the T Mobile version too ?

[Q] Is it possible to install none LTE rom on LTE version?

Hi there, I've noticed that the sub-category of the none LTE N7 version "android development" is much more active and populated than the LTE version and I was wondering if it's possible to install the non LTE Roms (or Ubuntu for example) on the LTE version and loose the LTE functionality or it's completely incompatible?
I've already Googled it and searched XDA but I was not able to find any related information and would really appreciate it if anyone could shed a light here, thanks in advance.
i'd like to know myself
Well certainly the LTE radio would be non-functional. Possibly the GPS since it depends partially on the mobile network. As far as any other function, I've no idea.
It appears that all that it takes to compile for Deb instead of Flo is just a different compile option and having the binaries. But most devs don't bother, which is very disappointing. The number of files affected is pretty large, and I don't think post-compile porting is practical (I looked at this briefly)..
I've been hesitant to try just flashing a Flo rom on my Deb. I suspect it wouldn't cause any permanent issues, or we'd see more "oops I bricked my N7" posts from those flashing the wrong Roms. But I'd rather not test on MY device unless I knew for sure it was safe.

Audio call fix
Can you explain what this does exactly? I have needed to install your mod for every CM nightly, and also for Blisspop on my e980 running on tmobile. Just curious what it does, in case your patch file stops working for new version.
Thanks again!!
I think it changes at least these 2 options in /system/build.prop file
1. persist.audio.dualmic.config, from 'endfire' to 'false'
2. persist.audio.handset.mic.type, from 'digital' to 'analog'
You can change these values yourself with the prop.mod editor, but you also have to change these values every time you update or install the ROM. The dangnavy script also changes some other values, but the two I've mentioned are the ones that effect the in-call phone mic volume. I got these solutions from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709781
thank you hawkwind!! Yea I was curious because in roms like CM, Blisspop, or even slimLP there is no mention to needing anything after installing the ROM to make the sound work during calls. However I always have to install this patch to make it work so it leads me to wonder what is different about my e980 that causes me to have issues that no one else seems to bring up lol .

thank you hawkwind!! Yea I was curious because in roms like CM, Blisspop, or even slimLP there is no mention to needing anything after installing the ROM to make the sound work during calls. However I always have to install this patch to make it work so it leads me to wonder what is different about my e980 that causes me to have issues that no one else seems to bring up lol .

In the earlier version of the blisspop, the dev had changed the values in the build.prop file so the users would not needed to do so them selves. Since this was such an old issue according to that posting, perhaps dev thought that it was no longer necessary to change those two values.
Hi I'm using stock g4 ux4.0 lollipop g pro v12 final rom and during phone calls I have to use headphones whit mic because there is no sound without them . Will this fix work for me?
It may, though I think with the ROM you're using there is a patch for the sound issue, check the dev's thread first. Otherwise try the solution we've discussed here with prop.mod editor anyway, since it will not harm your device even if, it doesn't fix your problem. Just remember to reboot the phone once you're done with changing the values.

I think it changes at least these 2 options in /system/build.prop file
1. persist.audio.dualmic.config, from 'endfire' to 'false'
2. persist.audio.handset.mic.type, from 'digital' to 'analog'
You can change these values yourself with the prop.mod editor, but you also have to change these values every time you update or install the ROM. The dangnavy script also changes some other values, but the two I've mentioned are the ones that effect the in-call phone mic volume. I got these solutions from this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2709781

If changing these doesn't affect other variants (E985/6/9 and even F240x), I'd be glad to change them in my device tree.

A good old saying, if it's not broken, no need to fix it. These changes only work for e980 with at&t in USA. If the provider is t_mobile, that's another matter. I don't think other ogp variants have this phone Mic issue. Like I've said, this is an old topic, I'm surprise that so many people are still asking about it.

Couldn't agree more. Since this is variant specific thing, I won't change anything... I've put an info about that in Slim's thread, but it looks like people really don't like reading.

Just wanted to state, this patch is what fixes the no call audio issue for me while utilizing the TMobile network.

Custom 7.0 ROM for the Galaxy s6 edge Plus!

This device may be a few years old, but its still great. Support for it has almost disappeared, but there are still people out there like me that are on this device that can't/won't upgrade for one reason or another. Sure, Superstock is a great ROM, but lollipop is outdated, and having the features of custom ROMS but on a newer base would be freaking great. I am right?
I may have missed them, but as far as I could find on XDA, I couldnt find any nougat custom ROMs for this device. I would super excited to petition for one of the awesome developers out there to make a new ROM, even if it might be the last for this phone. Or maybe there is one, and I have just been much to dense to see it. Let this thread be for all posts related to the development of a custom Nougat rom, or sharing of one that already exists. Thanks everyone for reading and participating! :laugh:
EDIT: SM-G928T is the model number, just in case it isn't implied
"petition for one of the awesome developers out there to make a new ROM"
Wow... no need to do that buddy..
I'll save you the headache, hassle and lynching..
Check this out.. https://forum.xda-developers.com/s6-edge-plus
Heads up, read thru the thread carefully, many of these ROMs will require the "T-Mobile audio fix" to get in call audio, that is if you have the T-Mobile variant (G928T). You can search for the fix..
We can run Note 5 ROMs too, check out the TMo N5 or the Int'l forums, like I mentioned, above.

Thanks for the response. I had no idea we could run international ROMs on variant devices. I am having the issue you mentioned, though, with the call audio. So far ive tried two roms, flashed the fix, without any change. Ideas as to how i might get that working?
There is a audio fix on the T mobile Galaxy Note 5 page, it worked for me using Dr Ketan's rom

I do know that theres a few different "audio fixes" available. Im thinking they differ bcuz of the Android version? Just a guess, but what I'll do, is, I'll use only Roms that another 928T user already reported their success using it. I dont want to waste my time and effort being the guinea pig and then, for it not to work. Usually, whomever confirmed compatibility, will also list anything thats needed additionally to get it running, like the audio fix, along with link(s) to get it. If it doesn't work, they'll usually state the issues they found. Someone else's issue with it, might not be relevant to another person so they may decide to run it.
The best way to do this is to simply go to the OP of the Rom thread, in the upper right corner, you'll see a "search" option/box, (depending on browser or app, might see 3 dots instead, its a drop down list) click on it and enter our phone model, "928T, 928-T" or "T-Mobile, Tmobile, TMO " I try to cover the different variations, others here use to identify the phone. Seems like the search function, searches only the exact characters, as entered in the box, doubting it can identify and include similar known ones, so rather be thorough and not miss something. It searches your entry only in that particular thread and lists the results.
If you're braver than I, and dont mind going where no other TMO'rs have gone before and found only the in call audio isnt working, then its likely, flashing the audio fix is all thats needed.
The best way to solve this is, again, with a simple search. This time I'd recommend, a broader search using Google's search engine, type "XDA T-Mobile audio fix," bcuz this will search all XDA forums, more importantly, both S6 E+ and N5, carrier and int'l forums all at once. Then just go down the list if results, making sure that youre in either of the 4 forums, above, locating the download. Last I checked there was 3 or so fixes available, this was many months ago though. Anyway, having more isnt a bad thing, less would mean needing to go back and finding the one you missed. Once you have them, flash each one seperately, in recovery, reboot, confirm whether you're issue is fixed or not. If not, then continue these steps till it works. Flashing the audio fix won't mess your phone up. No need to reset, clear cache or anything of the sort, between each audio fix, just flash only the audio fix and rebooting is necessary. If you want to be organized, you can cross reference the dates of each audio fix, with the current firmware available at the time. That way you can flash any Rom you desire and will already have the fix ready.
Wow, my apologies, talk about rambling on about nothing more than finding correct file, flash your device, confirm its fixed, if not then repeat till its fixed. If no fix is found then, Rom isnt compatible...
Sorry, one last thing, Im sure that you'll help many others like yourself, if you had minute to post your experience with whichever Rom(s), you chose.
For example, "Rom works great, needed this (link to audio fix) for in call audio on the TMO variant"
It seems like you're the first 928T to try the Rom you have so,
report your experience, posts are permanent, its there forever, for any curious new comers, you'd be their hero! It'd most def get a "thx" from me.. :good:

Found a few ROMs that work without fixes and run nougat. Khongloi's s8 port works and has some of the best features I've ever had on this phone, but is heavy on the battery. AndroidSword's NFuel XL runs fast and light, but doesn't have edge features. The original NFuel also has full support for 928T, but I haven't tried it yet. I'm also working on my own custom ROM now since every ROM I tried was missing something I wanted.

Thanks for the info. My S8 has kicked the bucket, and so I'm back on my S6 for the time being and want to give it a bit of a refresh. I'll look up those NFUEL ROMs.

I've just finished cooking a second version of my custom rom. Haven't had any issues so far. It's Called TrueStockN.
Here's a list of ROMs I was able to get working for the G928T:
Khongloi's s8 Port
Nemesis s7 Port
N-Fuel
TrueStockN
These are just Nougat roms I that worked for me off the bat, no additional audio fix required. Of course, there may be more, but these are the ones I know of and have used extensively.
