Too much throttling, or not throttling the unlimited users enough. :p

That's cause there are two million children who think their phone is a TV.

Simpup, thanks for the link. That is exactly what is happening to me. Called AT&T and they claim i am not being throttled.
[General Questions and Answers] boardrx182:
I'm posting here on behalf of a friend because I've tried everything I think I can do to help, but to no avail. I'll try to make this quick.

My friend bought a Galaxy Nexus LTE in December and it worked great for a few weeks, until the vibrator in the phone broke - he took it to a VZW store and they replaced it for him.

Upon receiving the replacement phone, he was having trouble with LTE staying connected. It would continuously drop and instead of falling back to 3G, it says he has no signal - signal indicator in settings displays a red bar (i.e. no coverage).

He took it back to VZW and they tried his SIM card in an employees phone - same issue happened to that phone. They then tried his SIM in a new phone off the shelf, same thing happened again.

Verizon is saying it's an issue with something at the account level, but I've encouraged him to go in and complain until they give him another replacement, just in case. However, it's very odd that his SIM card in three different GNex devices produces the same issue, even though his first one worked great. They have said that a future software update would fix this.

The other day I installed the leaked 4.0.4 update on his phone to see if the new radios would work, but the same issue kept happening. So I reverted him back to 4.0.2 so he could take his phone back to Verizon and beg for another replacement. Unfortunately I forgot to re-lock his phone so I still have to do that before he takes it in.

Has anyone ever heard of this before? It seems so odd that his SIM card would do this, but I still think that Verizon owes him another replacement device since he has a phone that isn't working like it should. He's getting a big discount on his family plan but he'd prefer to have LTE on his new phone.

I would love your thoughts - this just doesn't make sense to us. Any suggestions other than replacing the phone again? It sounds like VZW doesn't want to do that for him so it might be easier to fix it another way.
[General Questions and Answers] juzz86:
Can't speak for Verizon itself, but I have been through several SIM cards now on Telstra. Same issue, all of a sudden they are unable to pick up signal at all. Seems the pre-paid cards are more susceptible.

I'd ask for a replacement SIM, as opposed to a replacement phone as it's been proved the issue exists on multiple handsets already. If a new SIM doesn't alleviate the issue, the VZW rep may be right in that it is at the account level.

Good luck! :)

Hi. Im using Runnymede AIO V6.0.4 Special Edition, updated from V6.0 and i am not getting the fancy clouds and stuff when i unlock my phone. I saw somebody talking about this in the developer`s thread, but no solution was given. Is there any way or known bug for this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyKilla:
Doesn`t anybody know why is this happening?

Is it the weather lockscreen you are talking about? Have you set that as your lockscreen already?

If its the weather widget, I recall that having an option to enable/disable animation when you add it.

via xda app
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SkyKilla:
It`s about the clouds/leaves etc. that appear after you unlock the phone from the ring. However, it seems to have auto fixed itself...during the night. Awkward.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StylishPirat:
Maybe you should edit widget settings (selsect location and make sure if field with fullscreen animation is checked)
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jupit3r:
Since I got a tab p7300 and an ipad2, I haven't used my galaxy tab that often, sometimes I won't even boot it for one or two days. But after I flashed it into android 4.0, something strange happened, there is a sharp loss of battery power during the power-offs. As an example, I shutdown the machine with a battery gauge of more than 60% of power the day before yesterday, but when I tried to boot the machine today, it showed that I have to charge it since no power is left...I am not sure if it's the 4.0 rom or anything, coz when I flashed it back to miui, which is based on 2.3.5, it's the same, and I wonder why....:confused:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] pookieguy:
Hey all,

Everything was fine up until yesterday. The blacklist number feature no longer works. I've tried many things but it still doesn't work. Yes, it does actually add it to the blacklist but the number still filters through now and rings.

Any ideas?

I have used other third-party software for this that works fine but I would like to just use the built-in feature if possible.

Thanks,

Just found out that vlingo uses carrier iq. Time to dump that app.
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
without proof what your saying is baseless btw bud.

first I doubt they use it to begin with as vlingo is not a carrier itself so they wouldn't have need for the stuff carrier iq does.

The only thing I can think of is your confusing "data collection" with carrieriq.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/26/vlingo-explains-data-collection/

If you read the article there they explain everything pretty well....nothing to worry about bud.
[HTC EVO 3D] babyschmoof:
Actually, they came clean about it. They were sending a lot of data including imei, phone number and contact lists via unsecured means every four hours. Regarding fact, its right from their press agent. I'm simply passing along data from them, to protect our forum users. But good try on the fact comment. I think what you were looking to say is thank you.
[HTC EVO 3D] Newklearx3:
Link?
[HTC EVO 3D] babyschmoof:
There is a reason good people are leaving xda. Comments like yours (albeit not terribly rude) makes people to not want to post. They fussed up and promised a fix, plus new terms explaining what and why they are capturing gps, imei, contact info plus other info via unsecured means. They were supposed to capture much less and not every few hours.

It's time for ULAs to be scaled way down and explain in layman's terms what they are doing.

Regards, be careful if you use it until a fix is in place.
[HTC EVO 3D] babyschmoof:
Not the original post, but here is one:

http://m.engadget.com/default/artic...-data-collection/&category=classic&postPage=1
[HTC EVO 3D] sgt. slaughter:
That is the exact article I linked in my post bud. If you read it it says 0 about CarrierIQ. Hence my original comment.

They explain the use of it and it all makes perfect sense also.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adrianblack:
I'm reading about safestrap ROMs, and some people say that the roms run a little slower when using safestrap. (Not just the boot process, which seems a bit slower.) What is actually causing this slowdown?

I've googled around but can't find any answers other than people just saying "things run a tad slower"
[Motorola Droid RAZR] wardo5757:
i believe the 2nd rom is put on the sd card...
[Motorola Droid RAZR] adrianblack:
The stuff I had read seemed to say you had to repartition the internal flash, which renders the Webtop inoperable?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] gotsaved289:
I have used the webtop on Safe Rom and "non" safe Rom. Also haven't noticed a huge difference in Rom speed.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] got556:
AFAIK you're creating a new partition on your drive so now you're running essentially a dual boot system. This means some resources are tied to the non safe system and some to the safe system. Therefore you don't have 100% of your resources tied to just one ROM.

W/ that said I'm running Absym1.1 on the .748 kernel and using Safestrap 1.08 and it's blazing fast with ADW EX on it. And silky smooth, mind you.
[Motorola Droid RAZR] [TSON]:
Its placebo. Safe strap makes a nandroid of your system and a nandroid of your safe system, and just switches between them...right?
[Motorola Droid RAZR] dom2319:
This thread is old but the answer can be found herehttp://wp.chmurka.net/?p=479

As to what you can do is install SafeStrap modified by mentor37 which makes use of the WebTop partition and doesn't slow down over time.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] thefulleffect89:
I'm curious as to what voodoo is. I keep hearing its name and I kind of understand it. Would it boost my speaker volume? I don't listen to music on my phone as I have an iPod for that. So would I benefit from this? How do I go about adding it? I am on HellFire 1.8 bye too. I'm sorry if this has been asked already I did a search and didn't see anything.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
If you don't listen to music on your phone, it doesn't really make a difference for you. On the G2x, it just increases headphone volume. But if you did want it, install Voodoo control from the Market, plug in some headphones, and enable it. From there, you can increase the Max dB settings to increase/decrease volume.

Sent from my MIUI G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] thefulleffect89:
Thanks for the quick reply. Do you have any suggestions for a good and safe volume boost? My speakers seem really quiet.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] gpmartinson:
Not just volume...it also changes the dynamics of the sound production.... http://project-voodoo.org/
[T-Mobile LG G2x] C0dy:
On Galaxy S phones, it has a huge increase in sound quality. On the G2x, it only affects volume, based on personal experience. From the Market description:

Sent from my MIUI G2x
[T-Mobile LG G2x] mt3g:
volume+ for boost on speakers I believe, and ya I only notice volume with voodoo with headphones no real sound improvements in my opinion.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] I.R.Chevy:
The DSP Manager lets you tweak the sound as well and I noticed a big improvement in quality using that. It comes with HFP

Pin it to Win it.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Smallsmx3:
Don't give false info...u can't just install the app. You have to have a kernel that enables it. The app just controls it
[T-Mobile LG G2x] GTWalling:
From the Market for Voodoo Sound app.

Description

This app controls Voodoo sound for Galaxy S, Nexus S phones Galaxy Tab and Asus Transformer running custom kernels implementing Voodoo patches.

If you don't want or cannot flash a kernel, my commercial app "Voodoo Control Plus" has the ability to load Voodoo Sound with only root.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] lannister80:
Stock CM kernel does not support Voodoo, but Faux's does.

Just FYI
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Instant Soup:
The only benifit to the g2x that i know of is the increase in dB which is helpful for using with a tape player adapter in a car stereo and driving headphones with slightly higher Ohms.

Also, I get louder volume on the tape adapter which helps with avoiding static by not having to turn the volume up so high.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Frooty:
Randomly my tablet will show it having no battery at all and tell me to connect to a charger even though it has plenty of battery. This only happens when the screen is off. Itll show good battery, the next time my screen turns off and back on, it'll show 0% battery. Then randomly when the screen goes off/on again it'll go back to what it really is.

My prime also randomly turns off. This isn't exactly the rebooting issue because mine doesn't reboot, it just turns off. I had a prime with the rebooting issue before that I returned, and with that one it only rebooted when I was using it, but with my new prime it only shuts down when I am not using it. There is also no pattern to it, sometimes it'll go days without shutting down and other times it'll shutdown a few times in an hour.

Both of these problems happened both before and after the latest update that was supposed to fix the rebooting issue. I just did a factory reset to try ad fix it and it did t fix the battery problem, but I haven't let it sit idle enough to see if the shutting down problem was fixed.

Has anyone else had these problems? Were you able to fix it?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
No never had it. I heard others mention the 0% battery thing before. Usually reboot or rest cleared it out. Hopefully your tab will stop shutting down on you. Make sure to post back of it does. Did this all start after .11 update or even before that?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Frooty:
Resetting the primè does fix the battery issue, but so does letting it just sit there. It isn't a major problem, just an inconvenience since sometimes I don't know my battery level.

I got my current prime on 1/31/2012 and I believe the .11 update was already out when I got it so I'm not sure. I updated straight from honeycomb to .11. It never happened on honeycomb but I was using it constantly (it only happens when I'm not using it) and only for an hour before I upgraded to ice cream sandwich.

It seemed like it happened less on .11 as opposed to .13, but I only base that on just now it shut down 3 times in 2 hours while I wasn't using it(I turned it on again right after it shut down each time). Its only happened about one other time since I upgraded to .13 so I dint know if its related to the update or just a coincidence.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Frooty:
I just left my Prime sitting idle from about 10PM to 2AM, and it had turned off again. I feel like it is more common now with the latest update, since before I was able to go at least a few days without it turning off.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] duckied:
Yea its happening to me also, I was beginning to think i was the only one with the problem.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ccbear:
I've been having the same issue since I received it. Sent a message to ASUS tech and they suggested getting the latest firmware, which just came OTA today in Canada. It is still doing happening. Grr. Anyone come up with a fix for this?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] dynamikd:
Hate to be the one to say this, but you may have to exchange your Prime. I don't know of a fix for this.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Deltaechoe:
Only time it happens to me is when my prime is actually out of battery power, sounds like a dud tablet to me
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] bigtall10:
I am having a similar problem to this ,,,but mine just started immediately after the latest update. My prime rebooted twice,,,and froze twice. Then since then,,,its everything from random reboots to annoying graphic glitches and screen shaking...as in the entire contents of on the screen will be vibrating or shaking at random times...

The most annoying thing is that my prime never had a single issue since the day I purchased it, Not a single wifi or gps drop or problem and definitely nothing like what is happening right now. Whatever this new update was supposed to do...it completely messed up my prime....
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] fucnkrazy:
sorry wrong thread, can not delete
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] shadow205:
I have the same problem, but mine has these problems from day one I bought, and the .14 update did not solve the problem, I think it happens more often after update.

Someone know a solution?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Anyone have any idea how to factory reset if I can't see the screen?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] junrider:
Have you tried a manual reboot? Hold power + volume down till the prime reboots.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] orlandojumpoff:
Are you sure it's even powered on? heh j/k, had to say it.

If it's unresponsive and manual rebooting doesn't work, there's always waiting for battery to die. In my experience, Android seems to reboot itself after a while when there are freezing issues...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
When I hold the power down it will vibrate every 10 seconds as if im cold booting it, and if I don't hold it down and wait for it to boot I can essentially unlock it and shut it down since I know where on the screen to press for shutdown. I know its shutting down cause after i press on the screen where shutdown button is, a few seconds later itll vibrate. So I'm pretty sure its the screen.

I remember reading somewhere here you can factory reset by holding down volume down then power button. And wait a few seconds realease them then either I leave it alone or press up or down volume and it will factory reset. I just don't remember the sequence. Anyone else remember? I think maybe juniriders recommendation will work.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Is this the sequence?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] ilostmypistons:
Yes
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] demandarin:
Once it does cut back on, uninstall Google chrome browser immediately if you have it. Others that had same issue also just recently installed that app. They uninstalled it and device behaves normal again. Worth a shot if you do in fact have it installed.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
Thanks for the input guys. Ill try the power + volume to factory reset. If its still wont come back on I assume its a screen issue.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] serj69:
Are You trying the reset button?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] aznmode:
I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner. HDMI TO TV! So I was right that it is the screen issue cause I can see everything on the TV. Gonna back it up, factory reset and see if I can get it exchanged.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] adoboyo:
Hello all, I'm eligible for an upgrade and I got my eye strictly on the Galaxy Nexus. I'm wondering where would be the best place to buy this phone for an upgrade? I looked on Wirefly.com and it's $229.99. Is it easy to upgrade my contract with them? I have my wife on my account also and I'd like it to be an easy transition. Same plan, same price, same everything. Would it just be better to go to Best Buy? I hate going into the Verizon stores so they are my last resort.

Also, say I were to purchase from Wirefly or another place online. Would I just have to dial the *228 number to activate my phone and there it goes, or would I have to take it to Verizon for them to activate it?

Thanks for any help and recommendations!

[HTC Rezound] TheDigitalSlacker:
So after unlocking the boot loader today and loading up the stock rooted OTA rom my phone started randomly boot looping. It was sitting on my desk then randomly rebooted and now its been doing the same thing despite my best tries to fix it.

I had Amon Ra recovery installed initially, then flashed CWM via Rom manager. At this point I can't boot into recovery (or factory reset). It all happens very quickly, but it looks like the recovery menu loads up then the phone reboots. I am able to get into fastboot and reflash any of the recovery img's. I've tried the Amon Ra newest, the CWM normal and touch recovery and none of them will let me in. I've tried to get into recover with the 4G sim out and with the SD card out.

The phone does boot into an OS but after about 10 seconds it reboots. I did some digging and thought it might be the older bootloop issue with the network type. It does it with the sim out and in airplane mode so I'm not all that confident that its that issue.

At this point I am looking at tried to re-stock via Hboot RUU's. I have the P98IMG-1.02.605.6.zip on an SD card and that does flash but at the end of the verification it tells me "the main version is older." So I'm either looking for another package that will let me re-stock and give it a try again... or open to any other suggestions?

Hoping the phone isn't totally hosed, though based on what I can still get into I think there may be hope yet.

Anyone?

thanks in advance!
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Have you tried CleanFlash? Also you are getting the mainver because you updated with the OTA. Google ruu_vigor. You are looking for the one that starts with 2.01.
[HTC Rezound] a-jive:
This may help...

Get the 2.____.11 RUU from the 'Vigor Shipped' post in development. Follow the directions in the word file in post 2 from here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1487981

And then flash that RUU in HBOOT.

I had 99 problems with the RUU exe and spent the last week trying to get it to take. That tip to extract the PH file finally got me there. It fixed all kinds of issues for me and got me to stock.

Don't forget to relock.

(I think if you ran the ICS leak RUU you may still have issues, but you could follow those steps with that RUU as well probably and it would hopefully get you cleaned up)

Thanks for the help so far.

I got the newer RUU and got it flashed via hboot after i relocked. *edit* after the second time flashing it it seems to be working.
