I'm assuming you have a Vivid (as opposed to an imported version like a Canadian Raider) and are on the at&t network?

A couple thoughts:

1. Have the device manually search for available networks (ensure AT&T is selected)

2. Ensure GSM, WCDMA & LTE are enabled.

in dialler, dial the following code:

*#*#4636#*#*

This should get you into the INFO mode. Click the first option, 'Phone Information'. There is a dropdown menu where you can select the network. Select "LTE Only". Now your phone should latch into the LTE mode...

If not, just wipe your user data and try again, i.ie. factory reset your phone (I dont really like doing this, but it worked the last time I got stuck in EDGE mode)

Follow up :

I went ahead and reverted back to GB by following thecubed's guide and it seems that I have better signal now, however it's still not exactly like it was before. I can get 2 bars constant inside the house and at work where previously it was full power. This weekend i might play around with it again and see if i can figure out what happened with the information that was provided in the previous two posts, thank you for that help.

I think i'll wait until i see something a little more definitive as far as guides. The SUPERGUIDE is awesome and works great. I tried to extrapolate what needs to be done with PG's ICS, but that information has been removed and there are a few holes in the information that I'm trying to piece together. I have files all over the place and what i need to do is delete all of them and put them in labeled folders to track what goes to what process. I can't stand disorder, yeah i'm OCD that's what makes me a good controller lol.

Thank you all for the help and if there is any more information please post it, knowledge is power and if this thread helps at least one other user than its a success. I appreciate all the developers work here on the forums, and being a community manager of a PC game hack development site, i know EXACTLY how you all feel with the abundance of repeat, irrational, and generally stupid questions you receive on a daily bases. Keep up the outstanding work
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
What exactly do you need help with? The process is not more difficult than loading a GB rom. I can help if you need instructions. I'm on AT&T btw running ICS flawlessly no bugs, no issues. But if you want to wait that's cool too.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lyonmaster:
Well all i really want is to root my Vivid and remove all the bloatware, and have full control over my phone and the option to back the entire thing up externally. I'm military so if my phone gets destroyed, i need to be able to bounce back quickly. These last few days have been nice because my phone isn't ringing all the time :)

I was an iPhone user (jailbroken), and i hate big companies telling me what i can and cannot do with a device i own and paid a lot of money for. I like to keep my gear on the cutting edge. I tried last night to install the ICS stock and rooted by pirateghost but since i jacked it up in the first place,(Clarification: followed the SUPERGUIDE first, which worked but gave me signal degradation, then tried PG's firmware) it was just sitting on the white HTC screen, so i reverted back to the GB as per thecube's guide. Now that i'm at the stock firmware, i may try again installing ICS later on this weekend when i have more time to devote.

If you have any tips or pointers that would be great, but i'm still learning the jargon here. I think i have it down, its just a lot of the steps in the other guides have implied tasks, meaning you should know how to get to that point. Its just a matter of me reading the forums more and trial and error. I can understand, when i train controllers sometimes i have to step back and turn on the "Barney" mod because they don't grasp the implied tasks.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
I understand..I will give you the exact steps I used to root and flash and hopefully they will be more clear. If you are on ATT you can relock your bootloader and just execute the RUU with your PC to get ICS that is the easiest way. From there you can unlock the bootloader, root, flash recovery, or flash a custom ICS rom. I can give you details on the other way to install ICS but that has more steps. Again its not hard just need proper guidance and patience. If these details aren't good enough just ask and i'll try to be more clear.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jackylu:
Good thinking..
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
i would like that too i am on the ruu ics att version super detaled instructions would be great i am coming from a samsung infuse 4g and flashing custum roms is alot easier on it

what we need is a noob section that uses simple terminology for us noobs that dont fully understand htc talk
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Mad Medik:
I don't have the link in front of me (on tapatalk) but someone posted a link this morning that the following command will prompt an AT&T Vivid to poll the network for the latest update:

*#*#682#*#*

I can't confirm as I have a non- ATT version, but several others confirmed success with screenshots.

Sent from the Matrix
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lyonmaster:
strose09 that would be awesome if you could send that to me. I'll give it a whirl. And since I reverted back to GB it seems the signal issues are fixed. Its like it's slowly catching up, this morning when i posted, i had only two bars, now its three to four and 4G stays up instead of showing Edge. So its improving, i would have thought it was AT&T but my wife and kids phones are at full power.

Agreed, for me its just learning the Jargon, once i know what H-BOOT, ICS, GB, CWM ect are then i can follow the instructions. Mind you i know what they mean now because i read thru the forums and studied the instructions. What happens is most people want a magic pill or program to get what they want with little work on their part. I understand the developers' pain, i cant stand when i get a new member "my hack won't work, i don't know what to do" with no information on OS and what the problem is. And 99% of the time that topic was covered in 20+ other posts. My personal favorite is, "its detected i got banned and lost my pixels, sure i raged 3days on BF3 with 13k head shots but what difference does that make!?"
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
same here still dont know exactly what i have to do on the samsung infuse it was a lot easier all i had to do was root my phone with superone click then flash a kernal to get red cwm then flash the rom of my choice right now i am just lurking and trying to learn the main problem for developers on the infuse was people who didnt know how to search or post inthe right section they would ask does hdmi work on this rom and the answer would be a page back or 2 post above thier question
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lyonmaster:
This works on the AT&T HTC Vivid, i think this is what sparked my phone to finally improve its signal.

This did start the system update on my AT&T HTC Vivid. I now have full power on my phone. It upgraded to 3.26.502.56 Right now i haven't installed it because "Murphy's Law" as soon as I do there will be a post "NOOO! Wait don't install it!!" I'll wait until I have more time to research the update and see if an issues it could cause with the root process.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] strose09:
I'll try to have some work instructions for you tonight. It wouldn't hurt to read posts from the superguide or anything from thecubed in the meantime and getting familiar with fastboot commands. Just to be clear jerrycoffman45, you have upgraded to ICS and just want root? If so, you'd just need to unlock the bootloader and flash the recovery of your choice.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] jerrycoffman45:
i would like to install wildchilds rom what all would i need to do that i have downloaded and installed android sdk,java jdk,fastboot and vivid all in one kit

and i have unlocked bootloader now
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] lyonmaster:
Alright i got the new ICS .56 up and running. Everything is working great, but i can't sync or connect to HTC Sync on my computer.
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
Why:

i really like the custom apps etc that needed to be in the /system/app/ folder but i really often change my ROM so i needed to do it everytime again so that's why i created this zip.

What is this?:

it will first backup the apps that are going to be replaced/deleted into the folder .backupappstim on the SD card then it will copy the apps, mods etc. to the right folder... That's it! (see the ChangeLog for the apps, mods and witch apps are going to be deleted/backed up)

Add Roboto font (original font backed up)

Delete Camera.apk (Backed-up)

Add Titanium Backup 4.8.4

Next release:

[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
Gt no problems flashing here...
[LG Optimus Black] dflt:
Maybe u can split every app in separate zip? :)
[LG Optimus Black] timvdhoorn:
No...cuz thats the same as copying them everytime to system folder
[LG Optimus Black] OBItalia:
Ok with Marvel v4!
[LG Optimus Black] YkZ_1967:
Hi, thanks for the pack, but Beats audio mod is not a "must have" for me...
[LG Optimus Black] kishore2908:

Good Job dude. Especially MIUI camera a good replacemnt for the stock cam
[LG Optimus Black] Duarte777:

one question, what does the bravia engine actually do? :$
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
Flashed an ICS tar and after the boot screen it takes me to an android with something spinning and what looks like a bar on the bottom. Let it sit for a while but it just stayed like that. Any ideas on what this is or what I did wrong? Please let me know!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
it went to kernel panic upload mode after sitting at that screen for a while
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Epix4G:
Odin back to GB and start again this time follow the directions usually after flashing any ics there is a wipe after that will let it boot ...but please if you're going to be flashing ics follow directions in OP to the T
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
is there any GB flashable tar that i can download. that isnt a one click flash???
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
If he is flashing ICS via the Odin tar he should NOT need to wipe anything. The tar could be bad (maybe a bad download) or something. The screen he saw though is normal on first reboot as I've seen it also but it reboots within a minute (or less)

---------- Post added at 06:25 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:24 PM ----------

The 1 clicks are not bad to flash. I do have a EG30 tar but it's to big to put anywhere without breaking it down into smaller parts. But using the 1 click flash able tars should do the trick regardless.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
i flashed a el29 tar and everything worked in odin but when i boot up after the boot screen i goes to an android guy with a box. any ideas guys? I really dont want to go to sprint and have them give me the run around . I need some help!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
I've seen the Android guy with the box but even after a tar install it loads that for a minute or less like I said above does a few more things then reboots. When you flashed the ICS tar did you have ANYTHING but auto reboot selected at all?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
after unplugging the phone from usb with that screen this is what reads on that screen.

E:failed to mount /data (unknown error 0)

update logfile does not exist

then it did a data wipe and something else.

it rebooted and after the boot screen it went kernel panic upload mode.

any ideas now?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
npe auto reboot is the only thing selected
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
ok that's odd. I've honestly never seen it do that with mine but I have seen the Android guy a few times (mostly with the ICS builds) Maybe someone with a bit more experience could chime in on the matter and maybe have a few ideas as to what you could do. Someone like sfhub or one of the devs maybe.

Edit

If I had to take a guess however it almost sounds like something is corrupt however. Maybe I'm wrong like I said just taking a guess on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kobridge:
I'm with you cidica. OP, can you try with different odin tar file and verify that you are using the most recent version of odin?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
im using odin 1.85 never had any problems with it before. When i use the one click root it gets stuck at data. With regular odin it flashes all the way and reboots. Im downloading yet another tar just to test my luck with it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
If you want (it will take some time to upload however) I can rar up my EG30 tar/pit file that I've had forever pretty much and put it on mediafire for you and see if that might work out better?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Dalmus:
That sounds an awful lot like the CM7 boot animation.

I trust that you didn't flash CM7, it just sounds so much like it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
You can't Odin a CM rom only the kernels you can use for it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] ehusidic:
go for it im willing to try anything and id appreciate it alot if it saves me the hassle of dealing with the idiots at sprint. If it doesnt work ill just take it to them say it was a bad ota update and order a new one. I went in today and I told the guy I rooted it just because Im an idiot, He said it was good because it still had the samsung official binary, not saying anything about my custom binary counter which is somewhere above 30
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
The files are being uploaded now. Once all 3 are done I'll pm you the mediafire links to download them. The rar has a recovery record so if something happens (by chance) you should be able to recovery it (incase of a bad download)

Here is the thing this is a STOCK EG30 no root nothing. I use sfhubs auto root package to regain root on the device when I use this (which is often lol) I hope this does work however.

I'll pm you in a few once it's all done uploading.

edit.

Pit goes in the PIT option for Odin. Put the TAR in PDA.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jordan2333:
I wouldn't mind having those files too if you could pm me.If not it's all good.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cidica:
Np soon as it's done just started the last file now.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Mattix724:
May i also get a link? You can never be too precautions with something like this.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] SimonCraddock:
For anyone wanting to replace the standard blue ICS status icons (WiFi/Signal/Battery etc) with white/grey icons here's a zip file that can be flashed from recovey.

The original framework is from the Open Kang Project Rom (r27) and the SystemUI with the icons is from Razor(x)'s Black Infinitum theme so credits to these two.

Not sure if it will work with stock roms etc so backup first before trying.

According to the drop down menus, the places you are most likely to encounter AT&T WiFi hotspots are as follows:

Airports

ATT Stores

Barnes & Noble

Convention Centers

Fed Ex

Hilton

Hotels

McDonalds

Starbucks

This is alphabetically listed so your best odds of finding connectivity is Mc Donalds and starbucks as there is one on every other corner.

There's also ATT Smart WiFi, https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5hdHQuYW5kcm9pZC5hdHRzbWFydHdpZmkiXQ. Not sure if it's compatible with the Note. (I don't have one yet.)

There may be other apps that do the same thing.

The same here, I like how it shows how much cellular data vs how much WiFi I've used, and how it automatically finds and saves hotspots for me. Then when I go back later it connects me automatically. I am on the 3 GB LTE/3G package.

Hi there. I install ICS (XXLPQ, CSC XOE) on my I9100, i root it and i dezinstall (with Titanium Backup) "TwDVFSApp 1.0”.

Primary Q: What does TwDVFSApp 1.0?

When i make a call, noice reduction (zigzag logo) does not appear.

Second Q: What can i make to activate (appear logo/icon) noice reduction when i make/ receive a call?

Thank's
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_Vex:
I think that tw is for touchwiz.

For noise reduction i heard that a wipe data solve this

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurocK ONE:
meanwhile i reinstall (copy apk and odex file in System/app with Root Explorer)TwDVFSApp and TW Launcher 4.0.3 -XXLPQ, reboot the phone.

But that don't resolve noise reduction in calla ( dont appear that zigzag). I look in Application->All aplication, and TwDVFSApp 1.0 is runing ( i can force close/stop).

I think TwDVFSApp is not for noise reduction...

When i make wipe data i lose all my apps instaled via Google Play?

And i still ask: What does TwDVFSApp 1.0?

Thank's again.

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TurocK ONE:
I think "TwDVFSApp 1.0" has to do with Dynamic Voltage and Frequency Scaling.

Am I right?

is that the task of the kernel , btw i saw this twdvfs in the android service among other services & i have deleted it because i dont like fancy apps i really want to make my s2 only basicly operated could i make this possible ? any guides for that ?
