That tweak is old. You can just download LTE switch to do same thing.

What the OP is saying is Verizon is having issues right now on both 3g/4g, the only thing available is 1x.
[Thunderbolt General] jamesfrom818:
1x going in and out on my Thunderbolt but surprisingly I can get a 3G signal with my Cr48
[Thunderbolt General] McLabia:
Uhhh, not quite, and way to fail. Next time perhaps reading will serve you better than just blurting out some random words as you roll your face on the keyboard.
[Thunderbolt General] nowerlater:
1x in Cincinnati, at least till I did the 3g trick.
[Thunderbolt General] JimSP:
No network at all when I woke up. Spotty 3g on drive to work. North Houston.
[Thunderbolt General] vinnyjr:
1x in Boston as well. It gets old very fast.

[Thunderbolt General] foorchevys:
only voice

it comes and goes, once sec 4G, then 3G, then 1x then nothing and then 3G then nothing on and on. Been that way since I got up in Central PA
[Thunderbolt General] davwman:
problems on long island. there is definitely outages again. 3g speeds are garbage if 3g holds at all.
[Thunderbolt General] Ryano89:
It's been several days of alternating 4g, 3g, and 1x, all while sitting in the same spot. My friends droidx is having no problem. Apparently it's only affecting Lte phones? I'm stock.
[Thunderbolt General] BeastieBoyy:
I'm also in North Central Indiana. I can confirm that I was also receiving 1X until later in the day yesterday. Everything SEEMS to be fine now.

Hope that helps!
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
It was a 4G/LTE outage, not a total Verizon network outage. 3G and voice were unaffected.
[Thunderbolt General] Ryano89:
Another 4G outage in the Midwest. Per the rep I just spoke with on the phone, as of 9 pm Dec. 30th. Take it for what it's worth.
[Thunderbolt General] hallstevenson:
I'm using WiFi at the moment. I have 4G signal but no "routing", it appears.

[Thunderbolt General] dalrym05:
Yea Indiana pretty much sucks for signal on any carrier in general. Really bad for llte phones. Probably all the stoplights potholes interfereing. I'm from the MT Vernon Evansville area signal has been flaky for a couple months now since the 4g switch. Still more reliable then at&t and sprint though.
[Thunderbolt General] McLabia:
If you guys do what I posted, you'll never see 1x again unless there's NO service for anyone or you're out of range and even then... It'll automatically switch you to 3g only while there's no 4g and when it comes back, you'll have 4g again.

[Droid X General] JMeade:
I've never posted on any forum (anywhere) before, so feel free to correct my etiquette.

I am trying to root my DroidX. When I downloaded z4mod to my PC, Windows Security Essentials found "Exploit:Unix/Lotoor". I checked to remove the threat and noticed that it left the file "z4root.1.3.0.apk" on my computer so I transfered it to my Droids sd card. I then used Astro File Manager to install it. When I went to run z4mod, AVG says the App com.z4mod.z4root is malicious. I suspect that it is based on its root access, but never the less I'm a noobie and unsure if I should proceed?
[Droid X General] fifiknw:
Most rooting software will come up as a virus. Mostly they come up is trojans. So you'll probably fine. I would stick with superoneclick for rooting. I did it with my x. If you need any other help I have Posts about restoring and rooting and roms just search z4cell in google first link. Sorry I cant post links being a noob to this site.

[Droid X General] JMeade:
No, I did not know, but I am trying to learn and read what I need to know.

Under phone info I find:

Android Version 2.3.3

System Version 4.5.605.mB810.Verizon.en.us

What does that tell me?
[Droid X General] infazzdar:
It tells you that you are running .605, the latest OTA update.
[Droid X General] Nemo Aeternamn:
and that it's gingerbread... so z4 will not work... so you'll have to use the droid 3 one click root... to get rooted....

UPDATE 2: Just wanted to let everyone know I've posted the question in Sprint's internal forum regarding whether or not the OTA form of EK02 will work properly if the phone has been flashed with the tar in this thread.

I expect it to, since this is the software Sprint techs use in store, but ill keep everyone informed regardless.

UPDATE: THIS WILL CHANGE YOUR MODEM TO EG31 AND YOUR KERNEL BUILD TIME.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN TO YOU? IT MEANS YOU CAN'T FLASH EK02 OR OTHER LEAKED UPDATE.ZIPs THAT ARE DEPENDANT ON BUILD DATES TO WORK.

EXPECT OFFICIAL RELEASES TO WORK UNLESS TOLD OTHERWISE.

With that being said, the modem and kernel are still exactly the same as before, and this can still be considered STOCK. Use this as a life preserver. Or a fresh start.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not responsible for you being irresponsible with ODIN!

This is a FULL, STOCK, factory re-flash for your phone. This re-writes ALL writable partitions; system, data, modem, kernel, etc. Does NOT touch internal SD.

For those who are unfamiliar, this is used mainly as life-preserver to recover from some of the nastiest of soft bricks, and also as "fresh start", to get your phone back to stock before going on a flashing spree.

How-to video, big thanks to qbking77 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3Ft0iDayh4

You'll need to search around here for the program ODIN and all applicable drivers

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jojorios:
Lately I began doing some gaming on my GS2 and this has happended to me twice now. one time while playing tiny tower and once on dungeon hunter. I will play with the phone plugged into my pc charging and the battery eventually drains. Is it possible that the games are actually using more juice than it's recharging? I'm currently running latest Unamed Rom.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gr8hairy1:
More that the pc can't charge it quick enough. Wall chargers put out roughly twice the power of a pc usb port.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] akira02rex:
Don't expect much from USB charging via PC.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Its more like 50% more, since the charging for usb is ~440mA, and wall socket is 650mA. Also even at 650mA, at overclocked loads, the battery will still drain...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jojorios:
Damn. Thanks guys! I just ordered a few more batteries and wall charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] cheetablaze:
I remember when I had my Captivate playing and recharging at the same time would make the back scorching hot. I bet this phone could do the same so I stray away from doing anything while charging it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] nyydynasty:
i noticed the same thing while charging via usb and using the phone at the same time. the phone will show that its charging and yet the battery is still dying. I chalked that up to the USB charger not having enough juice to charge it while in use.

as soon as I stop using it, the battery charges fine
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
Id say its dependant on kernel/rom as well. Im running unnamed and entropy's latest DD kernel (i believe its the kernel that dictates chg rates tho). I get a charge rate of about 1100 mah on pc USB and about 1800 on a wall charger.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] penguinlogik:
Not possible. It's been proven that the charging is limited by the hardware. Anyways USB has a max current of 500mA and the wall charger has a max current of 700mA...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] twiggums:
Hmm interesting.. i hadnt gone as far as using an ammeter, just going by my log in battery monitor widget. Lol which is clearly WAY off :-0
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] lonewolf69:
Hi Jo,

Your AT&T unit should have already been bundled with an AC charger no? In your *excitement* over the new phone you may have neglected the WALL charger and it may very well still be in the original Oragne/White AT&T box... :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jojorios:
Too bad they don't include more than one so I could have one for work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Iskor12:
I use this...USB Wall Plug....For $1.90 and free shipping, it works Great!!!! 1000mA output too.

Then all you need is a cable...Charging and Data Cable....for $1.80 with free shipping too.

FYI: Don't be shocked if the shipping takes a couple weeks. I don't complain though for those prices.

[Motorola Droid RAZR] abcrndm:
is there a way to automatically turn off 4g when the screen is off? preferably, also turn off 3g and only have 1x active when the screen is off. this way, you can conserve power while maintaining sync and push services.

i don't see any options in SmartActions for this, nor in apps like juice defender. any ideas?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] abcrndm:
someone else has to want this...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Ianxcom:
It's a nice feature. A ROM on the thunderbolt has it and is a great battery saver. I wish you all the luck.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] rkeller62:
You could set a smart action for when screen is off to disable cellular data.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] Karmarock:
Unfortunately I think for people like me who has an H3G (3) account it's not an option as the operator, due to the fact that owns only 3G net will likely ask you to get more pricey contracts if it detects that most of your incoming calls are not from its net.

Actually it could be argued, I'm sure that this apllies for outgoing calls, maybe it's not like this for incoming ones. You could hence turn on your device and wait to get 3G signal before calling. Anyone has experience about this?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] abcrndm:
but then you wouldn't have any push notifications (emails, IM's, etc.). 1x or 3g is perfectly fast enough for notifications, but you'd rather have 4g when your actually using the internet (without manually turning 4g on/off every time you use it).

with 4g turned off all day, i get really good battery life.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] sheek360:
Would be a great battery boost if it were possible.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] vgupman:
Have you tried using juice defender? I haven't gotten my razr yet and it will be my first LTE device so I can't test it myself but it's always been good to me. The premium version is worth the money IMO
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
JuiceDefender has it, although I think its only in UltimateJuice.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] robocellkid:
I like this a lot too. I'm surprised it isn't part of Smart Actions.
[Epic 4G General] Deviyl:
So I've searched and everyone seems to say that the OTA updates are stored in the cache folder. I've looked there and don't see it (there's nothing at all in the cache folder).

I've been on Froyo with Syndicate Frozen ROM and am quite happy with things as they are. But my phone decided to automatically download the new update and it's been bugging me about installing it.

I've since blocked the SystemUpdate.apk and it doesn't bother me every 15 minutes like it used to, but when I reboot the phone it still tells me that it's been downloaded and is ready to install.

I don't suppose it's that big of a deal to just disregard the message on the rare occasion of a reboot, but still.. I'd like to delete the file from wherever it's been stored so it never bothers me about it again.

I'm using Adao File Manager if it matters. I'll try root explorer if I have to, but just don't like needlessly installing apps.

Thanks =)
[Epic 4G General] xopher.hunter:
Sooo, you don't like gingerbread?
[Epic 4G General] sephiroth009:
Some of us are waiting for gingerbread roms to work the kinks out. I haven't seen one that makes me feel like I need to flash it yet.
[Epic 4G General] altimuh:
I thought I was the only one that felt this way! Lol

Yeah I have the same problem - how did you block systemupdate.apk ?
[Epic 4G General] Deviyl:
I like my custom ROM and the way things are set up now. Until I can, with little effort, upgrade to gingerbread while also keeping everything the same-- no, I don't like gingerbread. =)

+1

I used Gemini App Manager (it's free in the market). You have to enable USB debugging for a while while you do this. Download it, open it, menu>Expert Mode, scroll down to system update, long press, block app.

You can do something similar with Titanium if you have it, but Gemini is free in the market.

Like I said, it hasn't been bugging me every 15 minutes like it used to, so this is decent solution for the time being, but every time I restart it bugs me about it again. I'd prefer to delete it so I don't have to worry about accidentally pressing okay.
[Epic 4G General] sephiroth009:
I haven't actually blocked/frozen it yet, it takes me half a second to hit install later but I'm thinking about freezing it. And I get the feeling there may be a gb rom worth flashing in a few days (keeping an eye on you starsky for that theme =P).

EDIT: oh I heard the ota may also be in data/cache

EDIT 2.0: my update is sitting right in /cache
[Epic 4G General] Deviyl:
Apparently Adeo doesn't see the update. I installed Root Explorer, found and removed the update. Still pops up on every reboot. Very annoying. =\

I'm tempted to make a nandroid backup and press install just to see what happens.
[Motorola Photon 4G] slightee:
How different is the Electrify from the Photon? Is it a world phone as well. Does it have the WCDMA band 2100? Would i be able to use it for GSM and 3G in India?
[Motorola Photon 4G] matu:
as far as i know electrify is cdma only, it doesn't support gsm networks
[Motorola Photon 4G] slicedcheese:
Actually it does have gsm
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Yup only difference in the photon is the wimax radio. Photon comes with sprint sim, electrify doesn't have anything preinstalled. For giggles I took my sprint sim and put it in my brothers electrify, sadly it didn't really do anything other than pop up a 'sim inserted' notification.
[Motorola Photon 4G] bfd1513:
From my understanding if you got a sim card from a carrier in India and put it in the phone it will work. Other than a few carrier specific things they are pretty much the same phone.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
So basically, its an inferior version of the Photon. Wonder why anyone would buy it? Is it substantially cheaper?
[Motorola Photon 4G] bfd1513:
Its not that it's inferior. US cellular doesn't use sim cards in any of their phones son there is no need for one. Sprint uses sim cards and therefore the photon has to have one to work on their network. Put one in the electrify and activate it and it will work. Not sure of how to activate it though. Other than that and the radio differences their the same phone spec for spec.
[Motorola Photon 4G] scoobdude:
From the android central review I think the led actually works right and some other bit of software actually works right.

And sprint does not use sim cards in the us.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
Sprint doesn't use SIM cards, they have SIM cards to make international roaming easier. Its a roaming agreement with another carrier so you don't have to buy a card in the country you visit and the international data and voice is just billed straight to your regular bill. Only issue with this is price, its much cheaper to buy a prepay plan where ever you go than use sprints roaming agreements. US cellular sees this fact a chooses to not offer international roaming, only offer a phone that makes it possible.

Like I said the only difference is in the wimax radio, which is useless even in 95% of the US.
[Motorola Photon 4G] dante501:
Verizon and Sprint don't use simcard. Just take a evo or epic touch and you will see no simcard slot. But some phones have a simcard slot for European traveling. Att t mobile use simcards only.
[Motorola Photon 4G] MultiDev:
Sounds to me like its still inferior. I understand the SIM card is only included for convience.

But the Electrify still lacks Wimax supports making it an inferior phone. Why buy an inferior phone? Is there a big price difference?
[Motorola Photon 4G] slightee:
Have bought one from ebay. Price is cheaper by about $40 to the Photon. Planning to use the phone on GSM, so lack of Wimax does not worry me.They support the WCDMA band 2100, which is the 3G band for all GSM carriers in India. 4G will take an eternity to come to India Does anyone use the Electrify on GSM over here? Does it take a long time to boot like the Photon? If so, is there a work around like for the Photon?
[Motorola Photon 4G] meowl:
Thanks . . Planning to buy it in India.
[Motorola Photon 4G] slicedcheese:
Dame pbone just no 4 g and a silver metalic edging
[Motorola Photon 4G] Sc0tt777:
Isn't wimax obsolete anyway? Everyone supporting it dumped it and left sprint at the alter. Only a few cities got duped into building networks. My son bought a 3D a few months ago and is upset that he has no hope for any high speed support beyond 3g/ 4g or wifi in less then 5% of US, and that percentage should be shrinking not growing. Its like saying a bluray player is inferior to dual HD DVD/bluray player.
[Motorola Photon 4G] spleef:
so from what im reading if i understand right even if you live in an area that has 4g for sprint with the electrify you cant use it? so the motorola photon 4g mb855 doesnt connect to 4g? or doesnt connect to sprint carrier?
[Motorola Photon 4G] Kcarpenter:
The Electrify doesn't have a WiMax radio. It has no way to connect to any 4g signal at all. You can be saturated in 4g signal, but it wont make its 3g any faster.

The Photon is only capable of connecting to Sprint/ClearaWire WiMax 4G. No ATT or VZW LTE 4G.
[Motorola Photon 4G] IBMguy:
it'd be nice after US Cellular gets 4g we can get the 4g radio put in...b/c I know theres a space for it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] Cythrawl:
US Cellular starts to roll out 4G early next year, By the time it gets to all USCC Markets the Electrify will be old tech and no-one will want it by then....

Seriously...
[Motorola Photon 4G] IBMguy:
Oh I agree with you, uscc is usually slow like that.
