    New Contacts are not shared over BT w/ car multimedia systems (Samsung i9505 on 3.11.29)

    There's a workaround for the phonebook not syncing over BT: http://www.android-rsap.com/bluetooth-phonebook.html (the trial version confirmed to work w/ v4.4.11 on i9505). Make sure to unpair and pair again after installing the app! As a bonus, you can now select the group(s) to be synced...

    New car's bt handsfree kit cannot read in phonebook

    There's a workaround for the phonebook not syncing over BT: http://www.android-rsap.com/bluetooth-phonebook.html (the trial version confirmed to work w/ v4.4.11 on i9505). As a bonus, you can now select the group(s) to be synced within the app (good for me as I have a lot of work-related...

    I've noticed that for a quite a number of MIUI releases the theme app is mostly in Chinese (Galaxy S4 i9505). I remeber seeing some post explaining that that's due to the fact that the theme app is pulling most of the texts from a Chinese online source? Could the devs / translators comment on...

    Second that. Any problems w/ i9505 in this version or simply forgot to update the 1st page w/ download links?

    I have the WSM modded (4- or 5-way) power-button menu, and it takes about 0.5 second to get this menu after pressing the power button. The original menu (stock) works the same way. If you press the power button for SOME seconds, you might be actually triggering the forced power off (useful when...

    New car's bt handsfree kit cannot read in phonebook

    You can try the official (Chinese) site and forum. For Xiaomi devices at least they should be more responsive than for ports like i9505...

    New No TTS support (Samsung i9505 on 3.12.20 and below)

    There's no Text-to-Speech configuration settings in the Language and Input menu and the whole TTS support seems to be missing from the ROM as I couldn't manage to install and make it work a third-party TTS engine (SVOX) I used to have on SGS2 (i9100) for Russian language.

    New car's bt handsfree kit cannot read in phonebook

    Same problem here w/ Samsung i9505 (Galaxy S4). Already reported it here, but got no replies. Another BT-car-related issue is lack of media info when playing music from the phone on car's radio via BT.

    New 3.12.13 jfltexx GT-I9505 no wifi and custom kernel breaks boot

    When I got my SGS4 and immediately switched to MIUIv5, I've also got wifi-not-turning-on problem. Instead of trying a custom kernel, I've tried the suggested radio (MODEM_I9505ZHUBMF4_966811_REV06_user_low_ship_MULTI_CERT.tar.zip) and it has resovled the issue. Even though the modem is not for...

    Guys, I can't seem to find TTS settings in Voice & Input menu (IIRC, they were there in MIUI v4). Anything special needs to be done to get TTS working on MIUI v5 on Samsung Galaxy S4 (i9505)?

    1. Just pick the variant which matches the Android version (the links look the same in both sections) 2. Either custom kernel is required or at least a specific radio version (ZHUBMF4 or the like) 3. Same here, filed a bug - just use alternative rooting method (e.g. Chainfire's SuperSU works...

    New Some SMS can't be synced back from miCloud (Samsung i9505 on 3.11.29)

    Certain texts in my backup were from named entities (such as from the "Steak's" restaurant), during syncing them back to my new phone they crashed the cloud sync process. This was due to the single quote symbol in the sender's name as apparently the name (or the phone number for regular texts)...

    New Contacts are not shared over BT w/ car multimedia systems (Samsung i9505 on 3.11.29)

    After pairing the phone with the car, the contacts are not downloading to the car's multimedia system (tried that on a Hyundai ix45). Call placing / answering works fine. Audio routing also works fine. BTW, when pairing, the phone asks me if I want to share contact details and I confirm that I...

    New No real root access (Samsung i9505 on 3.11.29)

    Just noticed that root doesn't really work on i9505 in MIUI 3.11.29: the ROOT permission monitor is activated, the apps are requesting root access and are granted it, in monitor's logs I can also see that the requests have been granted, the apps show up in the monitored apps list, but in fact...

    MULTI 3.11.29

    Found another strange behavior on SGS i9505: when I pair the device with my car, MIUI asks me if I want to share contacts with the car, I confirm that I do, no error is displayed but no contacts appear on the car's display either. Had no problems on the SGS i9100 using the last v4 MIUI. Can...
