[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chibimateo:
I've been having a problem with my C Spire Showcase (I think this is the right forum for this, but if not, feel free to direct me somewhere better) for a while, and I've tried several things to no avail.

The main problem is that I cannot connect to data at all (except through wifi), and I am constantly roaming. I can send/receive both calls and SMS. I don't have MMS service, so I don't know if that would or would not work.

Lately, I have checked and seen that my PRL is 10007, which I know is not the most recent (since I've seen forum posts with people having at least 10009). I'm not sure if my PRL was a different version in the past (when my data worked or in another configuration that wasn't working).

I'm currently using Powerwashed EC09 flashed from Odin3 v1.7. I have also tried stock EE25 and EI20, which behave the same as my current setup. On both of these stock ROMs, I tried flashing the C Spire stock modem designed for each, in case the modem was not updated properly by Odin. CyanogenMod 7.1 Showcase MTD (which I prefer, when I had data working) has most of the same behavior, except when I try to send an SMS, it shows up as blank to the recipient. I also used MIUI in the past, and I'm pretty sure I was on that when this problem first developed, but I have used all these ROMs in the past without a problem at some point.

Ideally, I would like to get back on CyanogenMod (or possibly mess around with some ICS ROMs), but most importantly, I just need to get data working on the native network (starting from scratch in Odin, preferably, to have a known starting point). Anyone have any ideas?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kenshin1388:
Have you tried messing with the hdr1x selection setting?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chibimateo:
No, I haven't tried that yet. Where would that setting be (still using Powerwashed EC09 at the moment)?

I figured it would be under Settings->Wireless & Networks->Mobile Networks, but the only options I have are Data Enabled (which is checked), Data roaming (which is checked), and System Selection (which is set to Automatic, but could also be set to Home only). I have tried every combination of these options, and the only change is that in some combinations I lose connection altogether (no more roaming signal, can't send/receive calls or SMS).

In other ROMs, I have the same options, but in some, I also had Affiliated carriers (or something similar) listed under System Selection, but that option didn't help, either.

Since I finally updated my device to ICS then rooted it , I was wondering if there's a custom kernel that works with this rom so that I can overclock my device. Sorry If I'm posting in the wrong section.

Just tested kamaraush v2 and it works fine. thanks

I've used this kernel and it's gr8 but lacks overclocking (because based on the stock kernel of course). Anyway as I said earlier MiniCMSandwich Lite Kernel V2 by Kamarush works gr8.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfh:
I started out with the standard 3.2 on my Xoom Wifi

with a nagging system message to update (I am guessing 3.2.2)

So I followed thread 1249798 and now am unlocke & rooted!

I am also using Recovery: Eos Recovery R6

I still get the nagging system message to update.

I would like to load a custom ROM, probably Moray.

My questions are this:

1. Will the Nagging system update message cause a

problem loading a custom ROM?

2. I could use the process as described in thread 1249798

to load the ROM, but I have read that since I am rooted

I could use Quick Boot app. Is this true? What about the

ROM Manager app, could I use this to load Moray? What is

the difference?

3. Since my base is 3.2 I am guessing I cannot load any

EOS ICS Rom's, is this correct? I need to bring my base

to 4.0 right?

4. Both Hammerhead and Moray state that they are both:

"Pre rooted with su and Superuser". Does this mean I did

not have to root my Xoom, I could have just loaded either

of these Roms and become rooted?

5. I have read some comments about:

/system/etc/install-recovery.sh

If I remove this file, will this stop the nagging System Update message?

6. Do I need to back anything up prior to loading a ROM?

Thanks!
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3athsd00r:
First, avoid ROM manager.

Second, you can flash an EOS ICS ROM. you just have to do a full data wipe. I would suggest doing that.
[HTC Amaze 4G] EclipzeRemix:
how much better is the battery with it, i got it and the battery is the same :(
[HTC Amaze 4G] T.Treez:
Im on my 4th day of using the 1900 one. it seems regular to me. ive been fully charging and draining it for a few days now. havent seen a great improvement. oh and props on the supser sayain rom playa. I got like 2 days of battery life with that. are you going to make the newer versions for the 351.3 leak? or does it not really matter.
[HTC Amaze 4G] mreeekay:
Damn that sucks. Right now I'm just using the external battery pack when I can't plug in my phone.
[HTC Amaze 4G] superevilllama:
Yeah same here. Not really a huge noticable difference. Then again a change in only about 200mah is not that much anyways. 1700 vs 1900mah
[HTC Amaze 4G] Double0EK:
I have an Anker 1900 also. The life of the battery depends on how its conditioned. I also charge it in the phone and not with an external charger and I have noticed the battery life last longer.

I let the battery drain till the phone shuts off then charge it to 100%. I do that with my stock one as well. After a couple of days of doing that I reset my batt stats in recovery (4EXT of course) and continue the process over again.

[HTC Amaze 4G] RussianBear:
i have an anker and chichitec. both are better than the oem one. given that the oem one crapped out, i'm not sure how accurate my observations are, though.
[HTC Amaze 4G] porkchopexpress:
One of the first things I did was get an Anker battery and honestly I couldn't tell that much of a difference. Granted I only had the OEM battery for about a week, but it seems like it drains at about the same rate, it might last just the tiniest bit longer, but its not much of a difference.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
My OEM is slightly better than either of my two Anker 1900 batteries.
[HTC Amaze 4G] owlensteed:
I have not noticed any difference really. I have to charge me batt. every night after a days use. I keep an original batt charged and another anker. I switch them out. no ground breaking changes.

Hello everyone,

Just ran across this site. It looks very good and explains a lot about charging and overcharging Lithium-ion batteries. Hope you find it useful.

http://batteryuniversity.com/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries
[HTC Amaze 4G] RussianBear:
the difference between stock amaze batt and anker (i doubt it's full 1900mAh anyway) is about 170mAh. def. not groundbreaking lol
[HTC Amaze 4G] tofuwrice:
After conditioning my Anker batteries (0-100 charge/discharge 5 times as recommended) using the external charger. I found that on average my batteries lasted about 30% longer than stock. Also I was getting random reboots, the grey battery icon error, incorrect battery % reports with the stock battery. All of that has stopped when using the Anker battery. I have also found that charging with the external charger will allow the Anker to last longer than charging in the phone. The Anker battery seems to operate at a lower temperature also. Overall I have definitely seen a substantial increase in battery life over stock. Although obviously not ground breaking it is a worth while investment especially with it being relatively inexpensive.
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
I also conditioned mine, and they don't last as well as OEM, certainly not 30% better. Maybe your OEM was defective.
[HTC Amaze 4G] ApokrifX:
If you want to compare properly – you need to calibrate each battery and use it with its own calibration profile. The results will be quite approximate otherwise.

I asked about app to switch battery profiles – nobody answered yet…

Even if it exists, it’ll work for rooted phones only, most likely…
[HTC Amaze 4G] stevedebi:
I should think that a battery would work so long as it was stronger than the profile being used (the % might not be accurate, but it would at least run), but you bring up a good point.

[TG01 General] tarajez:
Hello everyone, i buy recently TG01 used. I dont know phones history, but, when i insert sim cart into phone, phone doesnt ask me to enter any code or something. Phone constantly trying to catch a network but he cant establish network with the operater. What is the problem. Phone has a winmobile 6.5 manilla software instaled. Could flashing phone with a new ROM be a solution for my problem. The guy who tryied to fix the problem tell me that only solution may be flashing ROM, and than unlocking with code because the guy from whom i buy phone claims that phones is need to unlock. Thank you very much!!!!!!

Hello, anyone know if we can "upgrade" to 2.4.5 without having to start from scratch installing all apps again, etc?

(I have used Titanium backup and do not like it...)

Thanks.
[Motorola Photon 4G] valentinoh:
2.3.5???? More than likely since 2.3.5 isn't offical yet.(unless your using an electricfy) your gonna have to wipe system data. Titanium backup is your best bet. And if you don't like TB cause you have to reinstall one by one, ithink the paid version does it for you.
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
Yes, 2.3.5 works just fine - didn't have to do anything at all with apps.

Will have to re-root with Torpedo.

Geez - hate it when people just make up stuff. Did NOT have to wipe sys data. PLEASE don't post if you do NOT know what you are talking about! :)
[Motorola Photon 4G] ronnienyc:
Those of you who did it without wipe - would you mind posting a link to the directions and the files you used?

[Motorola Photon 4G] ronnienyc:
Thanks for the help.

So what is better about 2.3.5 aside from the video camera?
[Motorola Photon 4G] willysp:
I was part of the 2.3.5 soak test since I don't care about a locked bootloader.

But, I'll say that it was largely a waste of time. Nothing about 2.3.5 worth doing. Don't know why Moto wasted time and resources on it.
[Motorola Photon 4G] broncop3t3:
Yeah, it wasn't that big of a deal. I wish it had been ICS!

I have a powerskin, and although it is big, my main complaint is that the rubber is soft and sticky making it hard to get in and out of your pocket. But I love the extra battery life. You do lose use of your USB port when you have the case on though, so if that is a must have then you will need to look for some other solution.
[Xoom Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] al mon:
So, Nvidia is trying to promote its Tegra 3 processors as the ultimate in Android gaming and forcing users to buy into the hype. Tegra 2 is a little more than a year old and never really met its potential nor is it even stressed out by the latest games/apps.

Is there a way to fake a Tegra 2 to pretend its a Tegra 3? I know there are a bunch of hacked Tegra 3 specific games that work on Tegra 2 but I'd like to support the ISV even though they bought into the hype.

Come on, Tegra 2 games - hardly any worth playing and not even optimized. Tegra 3 - mostly selling me the same old thing again. Why?

There are all these other threads about OMAP4, etc.. being much faster than Tegra 3 and that Tegra 3 really sucks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brimo2k:
I just preformed a digitizer replacement for the Thunderbolt. One of the ribbon cable Zero Insert Force partially chipped off. Can you tell me (from your personal experience and intuition) if the symptoms look like a broken LCD screen, or the bad connection from the ribbon cable to the main board?

I've heard bad things about trying to do the digitizer only without the LCD, but the partially mangled connector throws me off on what it might be. To be more specific, it looks like the ZIF release bar was weak and 1/2 of the bar broke off. The other half of the bar still 'clamps' down.

Thanks a ton!
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] markalyea2:
That's really odd. I've only worked with cell phone repair for a company for 4 months but from that I might be able to help. First... A few questions... What did you use to melt the adhesive? If you did that improperly this "could" potentially happen so that would make it an LCD issue. It doesn't look like an LCD issue other then that unless the pins on the ribbon cable connector are screwed. Now for what I personally think it looks like... Did you forget to remove the screen protector from BOTH sides of the digitizer? Or did you not clean the LCD and digitizer in alcohol after handling them?

My advice is to take apart the phone again, and turn it on while holding the cable connector in place to rule that out.

Now I haven't repaired the thunderbolt yet so when you say you broke the connector, is it a hinge connection and you broke part of the hinge? Or a snap in connection and cracked it? If option "B" its your LCD without a doubt.

Edit, sorry I didn't read the end. So it is a hinge connection. As long as the entire clip is ALL the way in your fine. If part of it is up and won't stay down... A small amount of electrical tape never hurt.

Edit number 2, absolutely not a cracked screen. If you would have cracked it you would have known, and it would look a lot crazier.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicoelnino:
I really enjoyed the S2 guide(somewhere here in xda) about tweaking the phone so as to maximise potential battery time.

With the increased battery of the S3 I know its not as big of a deal but I'd still love to see a few tips on how to go about getting as much juice as possible from the battery on the S3?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radialblur:
I think the first few charge cycles to any battery determine how well they perform, I have put my S3 through 4 full charge cycles so far and the longest life I've had out of it is a smidge over 36 hours with fairly frequent usage, I'm looking in to optimisations for it but I think the charge cycles are key to good long term performance.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahud:
Would you mind explaining what a charge cycle is?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radialblur:
Sure..

Basically when I first got the phone I put the battery in and left it charging for ~16-18 hours before I even turned it on, next morning unplugged, turned it on, went through set up etc.. hammered it all day until battery died, went through the same process again (repeated x4 so far, on 5th full charge now)

It is important to charge fully then discharge fully a few times to allow the battery to exercise and calibrate its maximum potential.

After this partial charges are fine, but worth doing a charge/discharge/charge at least once a month to allow the calibration to remain good

Hope that helps,

R.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chicoelnino:
It's not necessary to charge up the phone before using it the first time I was told. If you drain it first time then proceed as you said afterwards its still basically the same thing imo.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shahud:
Cool. Thanks for the responses. I'll definitely try one of these methods.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] radialblur:
I'm not saying it's necessary, but if you want to condition the cells correctly it is advisable. :)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ryoma_Kun:
That is not true, a technician told me that newer batteries doest have to be drained and fully charged to perform optimal. It WAS neccesary back in the day with the older devices and no smartphones etc.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shano56:
I'm trying to test out the evo radio, as people say it may offer better reception. I thought I was fine, but then I realized I had very poor audio quality on calls, so I think this may help.

Is this the one I should try? Or is there a different solution to audio quality on calls
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omniatic:
You could try the EVO 12/19. I've been using it for several months with no complaints. The audio quality varies with all of them, though. Signal strength, both yours and the caller on the other end make a big difference.

Check Rootzwiki for radios. I think that's where I found them.

Have tried the same thing by every means I can think of ...

Sadly I've not been successful either. Including root access and 3 different roms. I've not found any method to get below 4g on my ATT note.

Edge is what I need inside my office to get basic service. But I'm failing.

Sorry this isn't a solution, but your not alone in your search.

I've pm'ed a few devs and requested a possible patch to toggle the network switches, and I'll post a reply here if a patch can be found ....g

3 roms I'm aware of have these network switches ....and none of them function.

I'm not sure if development is going around them as a non-issue, or the code hasn't been cracked yet.

But when I put that card into my note, I'm forced to do the network bounce all day, and no switch with a RAT restriction ??

Is this an onboard chipset that is blocking this feature ?

What is RAT, and how do i kill it ?..:good:..LOL.....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rangercaptain:
The modem.bin is the file that defines the way the modem chip interfaces with the rom (sort of). At&t has restricted access to the usual features of the modem like the band selection option.

The Rogers modem isn't restricted. But the rom developer has to include the band selection in the rom, or the user has to select from the service menu. The band selection apps in the market are just a shortcut to the service menu.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] gregsarg:
Well...

I attempted the Canada rom/modem combo last night. and to be honest, I didnt get past the setup screens.

the phone hung on those screens, and I had to power down and boot recovery to restore.

I'm very surprised that It froze with just a modem...but it's without doubt a different animal...

I'll try again on the rom only, as i've used it before without issue, then see what parts I can bleed into the rogers modem prior to flashing again....g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] nethead72:
Well, I flash the latest from flapjaxxx. Love the ROM, and the UCLF6 modem is a bit faster. Still no control of bandwidth frequency, but I am so happy with the baked OS, that I can tolerate it for a while.
