ANT Forum

ANT+ radio for Android no longer works on the latest SELinux enabled kernel for the Samsung Galaxy S4.
I have re-installed, and tried in multiple devices, but every time I try to access the ant+ interface, I get a "Prevention Information Message" stating "An application has been forced to stop for an unauthorized attempt to access system in your device".

Is this a known problem? Any fix?

Thanks,

Luis      

Is this using a stock Samsung ROM?      

Yes      

I am trying to look in to this, but do not have an S4 available. Are you able to check if the logcat messages contain more information?

To allow real-time ADB while the ANT USB stick is connected, ensure phone and PC are on the same wifi network then:
* Connect phone to PC with USB.
* On PC command line run:
adb tcpip 5555
adb connect :5555 (available in WiFi settings > Menu key > Advanced)

ADB will now be connected over wifi and you can switch to ANT USB stick.

To return to connecting to ADB devices through USB:
adb usb      

Yes, it's the OP , but other people complained about the same problem

I have recently upgraded to the latest samsung firmware (android 4.3) and the problem is fixed. It is now working normally so I cannot reproduce the error and view the logcat msgs. SELinux status is still "enforcing" but all is well with this version.

Thanks

Hi,

I would like to get ANT+ running natively (built in ANT hardware) on my Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE I9505 ... I know that it should be supported on official Samsung 4.3 ROM – I did try this ROM, but it doesn't work fine for me (WiFi doesn't work, etc.). I like the AOKP ROMs, therefore I've installed the "Android 4.3.1 AOKP Nightly Jelly Bean Custom Firmware". The ROM works fine (wifi, all apps, bluetooth, etc).

When I run the "ANT+ Plugin Sampler" I get the error "ANT Adapter not available. Built-in ANT hardware or external adapter required". How can I "manually" check weather the built-in ANT hardware acutally works under this ROM? Is there a way to debug it?

Thanks!      

Hi,

Yes, it looks like only the official Samsung ROM has integrated ANT+ support, unfortunately. I tried AOKP 4.3.1 and SlimRoms SlimBean 4.3 and neither of them supports integrated ANT+ ... what a pity. Is someone knows for some custom ROM with Android 4.3+ (other then official Samsung ROM), that supports integrated ANT+ on Galaxy S4 i9505 LTE, please, let me know!      

FYI: a few days ago DjeMBeY contributed a fix for the Galaxy i9505 LTE and now WiFi and other stuff finally works on Galaxy i9505 LTE with Android 4.3! You can get the fix here: http://d-h.st/lVI

I've tested the ANT+ Demo and it works with fine with integrated ANT+!      

@racingkoala As the "latest" version does not have this issue, do you know the Build Number which did?
