[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MattMJB0188:
Looks like ATampT is becoming notorious for not including any 3G or 4G toggles. Not only can customers not turn off 3G in spotty 3G areas but now they can't turn off 4G LTE????!!!! Does AT&T not realize that someone who is in a spotty 4G LTE area will have their phone die twice as quick? I don't understand for the life in me why they don't give the customer the option to choose which network they want to be on?

I know I have the option to turn off cellular data but then I have no data whatsoever. If my phone sits in the drawer at work most of the day why can't it be forced to EDGE??? I know for a fact AT&T has an EDGE network to fall back on out here.

They allow iPhone 3GS and 4 owners to toggle 3G but not the 4S which is HSPA+. Now they don't allow you to turn off 4G LTE unless you root. WOW!!!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] americasteam:
Honestly, they could care less about the battery life, but they do want you to use more data so they make more money. The faster the connection, the easier it would be to exceed your limit without realizing until its too late, or you may upgrade your data package because its faster. Either way is a win win for AT&T which means more money.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MattMJB0188:
Wow I never thought of that. I have unlimited but I guess the faster the connection the faster I can be throttled. Boy do I wish there was a good cell phone company in America that actually gave a sh*t about their customers.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] designgears:
Hopefully I will be able to add the toggles in on my rom.

another idea, make another APN without the info for LTE.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Genetic517:
was just coming in here to ask if installing a custom rom would allow AT&T users to toggle edge/3g/hspa/lte . that would be REALLY nice!
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MattMJB0188:
Yes, there are many roms for the Samsung SkyRocket that allow such toggles. Its a setting with the modem radio.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Genetic517:
would there be any way of using these toggles without using another rom? :confused:
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MattMJB0188:
No, hence my frustration. Yea I like rooting but I'm pretty new to it and we shouldn't have to do it to gain this functionality.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] chaosjh:
yes, but may need a modded kernel, root for sure. there are apps that shut off lte and 3g but require root. like DD said, try changing the apn.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
It's also because they want to alleviate their load on the towers. All the people on 4g LTE are not on 3g, they don't care if it kills your battery because the signal is spotty.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tian105:
does this mean even after sim unlock. i wouldnt be able to use this phone overseas and have 3g working?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zivan56:
Can you not change it under *#*#4636#*#* under phone info and scroll to preferred network type.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
someone posted the answer to this question in another thread.

The LTE is integrated. So it just looks for the best available network. If you dont have lte, then it will connect you to 3g or hspa+.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] alwayslearning:
I don't get it; if you don;t want LTE why not just buy the international One X and have 32gig as well?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] therulebookman:
I don't want to pay $600+ for a phone. I'm going to be on AT&T for at least 2 years so I might as well get a subsidized phone.

Nope. Selecting any option that is not LTE it just bounces back to the "GSM/WCDMA/LTE Auto" option. Heck, even selecting "LTE only" bounces back to the default.

This was speculation on the part of that poster. See my response in that thread.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] redpoint73:
I remember this was also an issue on the Vivid. Toggle widgets don't work, the *#*#4636#*#* code doesn't work.

Try changing the APN to turn off LTE:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=19170113

Not a convenient toggle. But once you have the second APN setup, it wouldn't be too much of a pain to switch back and forth APNs (if it does work).
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] joshnichols189:
Also for the majority of the US, it doesn't even matter because AT&T LTE coverage is pretty minimal in its current form.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] PeterGuru:
It even shocks me because ...

I'm quite surprised that AT&T does not allow you to turn off LTE.

My Rogers unit specifically allows this, so it's very strange to me.

Peter
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] vioalas:
I mentioned earlier it killing your battery, but considering the LTE is built in, there's no reason to really worry.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
speculation sounds about right

you posted that you got 13 hours with your phone. Sounds about right. 1.5 hours of talk time with mild usuage. Not sure if you had data on or off during those times. So.....

DING DING DING we have a winner
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Hunt3r.j2:
AT&T's specific tweak to the ROM. Enormous pain in the ass, and a deliberate move to get load off of existing WCDMA towers whenever possible.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ShadowerEx:
I have the Rogers HTC One X and I have the option to switch between HSPA/GSM/HSPA+GSM Auto/GSM+HSPA+LTE Auto.

I would have thought that both the AT&T and Rogers would be the same build.

Guess not

=\

And yeah, that really sucks. Though my battery isn't bad.

I have it set on default which includes LTE and it just goes down to HSPA+ and so on.

Seems like the one way around that would be to root and install a custom ROM on it.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] zivan56:
No they are not the same build and have quite a few differences.

For example, the AT&T has dual cell HSDPA disabled explicitly. Likewise, Rogers has HD voice disabled explicitly.

There are some ro.ril.* settings in build.prop that are different, that could control choosing an explicit band in the AT&T firmware.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] therulebookman:
OK, I'm not in an LTE area, but I've added an APN with the setting in that thread. We'll see how battery life is today.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
im still positive theres not going to be a difference
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mr. Sakkaro:
Has anyone tried to flash Rogers rom to AT&T One X so far?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] expertzero1:
Only like 3 people have the att one x lol or 2.....

You do know that the att version is being released this sunday right?:p
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Mr. Sakkaro:
Darn! Really hope someone can come up with the way to turn LTE off... one of the rep on AT&T store in Maryland said AT&T is coming up with the LTE switch.. but I don't think what he said was true... still fingers crossed..
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] MattMJB0188:
What they need to do is add the option under mobile network settings:

GSM Only

GSM/HSPA Auto

HSPA Only

GSM/HSPA/LTE

Of course if they were going to do that, that would have come long ago. ):

AT&T does NOT want its customers selecting the network they are on. PERIOD.

looking to add some features to this wonderful ROM

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1602216

1.) how do i install the Battery Glowing Crysis onto this rom (love the look of that battery mod)

( i tried this url http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1282193 - but i am prompted for credentials upon attempting to download - also, i tried to install this mod from a different url, and was stuck into a boot lock, and had to revert from a backup - so i suppose im looking for a true, and tested way to get this battery mod, to function on the ROM listed above.

2.) on the dialer page, how do i get the quick launch at the top to show "contacts" instead of hitting the soft keys at the bottom?

as always, thanks in advance!!

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] plwalsh88:
2.) You don't. ICS removed that feature. I've seen some people say that they are working on modding it back in, but I have yet to see any success. Although, I could be mistaken... which would actually be great haha.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] xcrazydx:
Poweramp is a music player that can be bought from the play store. That's all, it's not a super secret system type thing. It's a nice music player a lot of people use, so Sean made a way for it to work.

[Verizon Droid Charge] goatman101:
I installed Tweak 2.0 coming from stock and had serious issues with audio. I re-flashed wiping data and the problems still persisted. I am getting audio skips when listening to music and I also had bad high pitched screeching noises. The audio was just plain "flat".

I flashed back to Eclipse with AOSP apps and the music was back to crystal clear with no skipping at all and the music was back to the "full" sound I was used to. I listen to a lot of Pandora in the car as I travel frequently. I also have the voodoo sound plus app to correct the low audio gain common with Samsung phones.

I get better battery life on Tweak and would like to stay on Tweak but can not live with the audio issues I was having. Does the audio get processed by the ROM or Kernal? I am using stock kernal for both.

I can not figure out what the problem is with Tweak Rom.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kintwofan:
You don't have dsp manager ruining as well do you. I had to uninstall it when I can from eclipse to tweaked because audio issues.
[Verizon Droid Charge] goatman101:
When I went to Tweak, it was a fresh install. DSP manager is included with Elclipse ROM, not Tweak. It was not even on my phone at the time.

Running Elclipse, I leave DSP manager off (all settings disabled).
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Haven't heard of this one before - have you tried just using the same apks as are used in Eclipse? Audio has never been an issue, though I haven't used much beyond the play music and pandora apps myself.

Another thought - have you tried it with and without voodoo sound plus app being installed?
[Verizon Droid Charge] goatman101:
Hey Dwith,

No, I have not tried just the Eclipse Apps, I would not know where to start. In regards to the voodoo sound app, I can not listen to audio with my phone without it. It does not put out the correct audio output or dynamic range. The sound level is just too low without voodoo.

One would probably not notice if they are connecting the phone to a boombox or something small but when you connect it to an aplified home theater system or an aftermarket car audio system the difference between voodoo and non voodoo with the droid charge is like night and day.

I am pretty new to flashing ROM's and such so I am sorry if I can't troubleshoot this more. I was hoping maybe I was not the only one with this problem and others would chime in.

I really like Tweak but I can live with Eclipse too. They are both great ROMS.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] onemanshow85:
Hello guys,

I recently installed ARHD 6.6.3 XE faux kernel with XT4 Recovery. The ROM is working smoothly, fast and good, tnx for that to all involved devs.

However, I ended up with a unrooted phone. Since everything is working fine with some additional, working MOD's, I'm not willing to take chances and apply an unroot flash without some research.

how do I re-root my phone in this current state?

I want to costumize my boot animation but I find this not doable through the ROM with a rooted phone. for instance, I can't locate the /data/local folders using ES file explorer.

thanks in advance

[G2 and Desire Z General] mikereidis:
Turn on Bluetooth manually before starting Spirit.

CM9 has a strange way of dealing with Bluetooth on many devices. Bluetooth is always running, and turning the BT switch on or off only makes it look to Android like it's in the selected state.

Someone assist me please?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jarmezrocks:
Going to reply to my own thread with a solution in case anyone else has the same dramas? I kinda needed to do this because i got a chicks number the other day and she was hell cute and she had text me and I had saved her number but had not sync'ed my phone so the only way to get it back was from her SMS :( that was in the phone that someone had stolen. However I had the nandroid backup from the evening after i met this chick.

All previous hopes via recovery and titanium were fruitless :(

Anyway, I couldn't do a nandroid restore because it was saying that my device was not an MTD device....naturally its SGSII, and its not CM9 based firmware I have flashed either. So what I did was break the clockwork recovery backup down and pulled the data ext4 tar file out and re-hashed it (MD5sum)

I saw pulled an existing ICS nandroid backup form my SGSII fresh.

I exchanged the data tar and added the new hash value into the nandroid.md5 file and repackaged it.

It passed the check and installed the data but far out out it screwed my phone. android.process.android.acore was going nuts, I doubt there was even an app left that didn't force close.

I then did a titanium backup of the complete re-install with the Mms restored (although I wasn't certain because I couldn't open the messaging app at all! - nor could i get into settings to clear data cache without a bazillion force closes) I did this on total hope that it would work.

I then nandroid backuped my phone again just incase even though the data partition had a see of bugs in it. I then wiped the phone reflashed back to stock and then installed titanium and then restored just the SMS and couple of other things while i was at it! Bam perfect! All texts 100% restored including the drafts as if it was my old phone last I saw of it that is

I am still getting the odd few android.acore FCs but I know its a data cache related issue (I had this a while ago)....but no application FCs what so ever.

I hope this information helps someone out

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jakeroot:
Sup!

I've been loving my experience with my Collective ROM recently (AbsolutionACE 2.6.35, I think), but for no apparent reason my sound (ringtones & notifications only) just stopped working about 4 weeks ago, and neither the stock sounds nor sounds from third-party ringtone apps will work. I cannot hear the preview using the standard Android ringtone select window, but EVERYTHING ELSE works. I can listen to music, make calls, watch videos, etc. but no ringtone will play when someone calls or texts me.

So, I'm left with two options: Either a) someone has an EASY fix for this, or b) I need a new ROM.

If you all would recommend a new ROM, which ROM do you think would be best? I don't like experimental ROMS, and I would prefer an AOSP ROM (stock) of either ICS or Gingerbread.

Thanks in advance guys, I really appreciate anything you have ready to throw my way.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] elwray:
Hello all,

Just upgraded to a Verizon Galaxy Nexus from an Incredible yesterday. Was having a few connectivity issues, so wanted to try running some aftermarket ROMs/radios/etc before I pursued replacing the phone altogether.

I just flashed LiquidSmooth v1.3 (+extras), and was wondering if flashing a 4.0.4 ROM includes updated radios automatically (versus the stock VZW 4.0.2) or if I need to flash these separately from the ROM? I never had any issues with my DInc radios, so never messed with it and thus have no experience.

Is the radio called the "Baseband" in the phone info screen? I feel like it was actually called "radio" on my DInc, so I'm a bit confused. If so, my version is I515.10V.EK05/I515.EK02.

Thanks for any info!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Akiestoyo:
I have a GSM Nexus but i think its the same. Usually roms doesnt have radio when flashed. But u can flash any radio after flashing the rom.

Radio = Baseband. The newest its LC1 (L=2012, C=March)

anyways you need to first check out all the various gingerbread/ICS roms in the development section.

see if you are happy with stock or would like a little 'difference'

do note that compared to stock there are always chances of a few bugs which you definitely can live with.

next or alternately i would suggest you check out all the emulators & games out there.

it's a play, so that's probably the first thing you would want to do ;)
