[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] gsw5700:
How about creating a graph/stats based on 2g and/or 3g signal strength. Enable at start of usual journey and use to compare modems.

Better still, an actual realistic benchmark tool based on real world tasks, open browser, search, close, open music, install app, specify no of concurrent threads to run

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] NZDroidDev:
The stats app for the signal strengths is a great idea. I will look into that one for sure!

As for the benchmarking, that will require quite a bit of thinking as to how to get the most realistic results. Will do a bit of digging on this one for you.

Try restarting the phone. For me after this is done, charging time improves significantly. Don't know why but it works.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] insomniakAD:
When I was on CleanRom 4.2 I had flashed the Telus 1.91 + RIL files. I've wiped cache, dalvik, system, and factory reset and flashed CleanRom 4.5 this morning. I was going to go and try out a new radio but saw on the OP that the RIL files should not be flashed with any 2.23 baserom, which CR 4.5 is. My concern is whether having flashed Telus 1.91 + RIL files before CR 4.5 interfere with anything? Would wiping everything and a factory reset erase those radio + RIL files and leave me in the clear?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XsMagical:

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yukondokne:
i recently bought a Nexus7, and i have been fighting the urge to root it, as i have never had a pure android device (previous devices like HTC 3D and Samsung Galaxy II i rooted because i hated the UI) and i know i can root and leave the stock kernel, but i want to know - can i root, leave stock Android, but still have the ability to mount external storage? i knew i would have to root eventually to get external storage, and i bought an 8g one just because i knew i would be doing this anyway, just wanted to clear up a few questions before i start voiding warranties.

Great work and thank you to all the developers who work so hard on getting the most out of our devices! i have learned alot from all of you.

Only weighs in at 19.3MB using the old changelog but if you check out Verizon's document it says it's 29.30 MB.

From RW:

Corrected Issues:

1)	A software change was made to support the latest requirement for eHRPD to HRPD fallback

2)	A software change was made to support the latest requirement for IPV6 in EHRPD

3)	A software change was made to address an issue causing a audio screeching sound to be heard when users have an active application playing in the back ground and you receive and answer an incoming call

4)	A software change was made to address an issue that was causing a continuous noise or notification tone to be heard that started during a phone power up and would not stop until you pulled down the status bar in some rare cases

5)	A software change was made to the calculations used for determining what is displayed to better reflect the signal available.

6)	A software change was made to address an issue causing the device to drop down to 3G service earlier then it should in some cases

7)	A software change was made to address an issue causing devices to show no signal and roaming when a specific PRL file (I5103) is loaded on the device

One of the notes is that USB tethering is Disabled when on WiFi, under the updated system. Has anyone determined if the WiFi thethering hotspot hacks will still work?
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
I wonder if we'll get a pbj for this since he sold his charge and all.

Also the fcc just ruled that vzw isn't allowed to block tethering and in the release notes they say that they removed the "upgrade to tethering" button in mobile hotspot.

Maybe before official ICS, but we have leaks and we have AOSP. ;)
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
Note that it only applies to tiered data plans. They're still well within their rights to block tethering for those with unlimited plans.
[Verizon Droid Charge] JihadSquad:
Yeah I guess they would try anything to get people off unlimited...

Sent from my handheld computer using electromagnetic radiation.
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
My layman's reading was that it applied to everyone, but the main point was that they could not try to block 3rd party tethering apps anymore. Could explain why WiFi Tether showed up in the Market. From my reading the tiered vs. unlimited point was mainly used by Verizon as a defense.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Cilraaz:
My using the term "block" was incorrect. Essentially, they can still charge the tethering fee to those on unlimited plans...

[Verizon Droid Charge] stueycaster:
I keep thinking I'm going to get a new phone as soon as I can. Dwitherell is doing a great job on developing roms but Imnuts is not doing kernels for the charge any more. Development for the Charge is almost at a standstill. I'm not excited about FP5 at all. I'm never going to run stock software in a smart phone. There's just way too much bloatware.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Reilly1812:
So? Root it and remove the bloatware. I haven't installed DW's rom because my phone is critical for work and I spend too much time at work and commuting to deal with any extra issues. But I've got to say that it's been damn hard not too bite the bullet and flash it. I know it's awesome.

I've debloated it and added extended battery. 4g coverage is good and don't need gps. Yeah, we'll never see ICS or JB on this phone but it works for those that don't have to suffer the squealing.

It's first generation 4g. I don't expect the world and my laptop can more than handle anything this phone can't.

Seriously - you can see the difference just rooted and debloated. Try it. ;)

[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
talk to a VZW technician today, and he said the FP5 supposedly fixes the squealing and unblocks some websites that folks were having troubles with.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Chocoburger:
I LOVE what DW has done with this phone, but I will be forced no choice but to flash to stock and update to this and pray it eliminates the crackling and popping. That is until DW adds FP5 to Tweaked ROM (oh joyous day that will be! :fingers-crossed:) then I can finally go back to the proper Droid Charge ROM.

I've suffered all day with the noise disturbance, so I can not wait for this update. But where does it say that it fixes the sound issues? Talking about the updated link in post #17, it only says 'improved call clarity'.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
Hey all -

Would folks mind letting me know if/when this hits? I'd really like the ota file itself, and I won't be able to get it.

[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
No service at the moment.

If you PM me how to rip out the parts you need I'll take the hit and go back to stock to do it.

Edit: unless there's a way to get the update.zip without having it wreck my system.

I thought this update was supposed to delete bitbop. Mine is still installed. Also, my strength of signal is noticeably weaker in 3G and 4G LTE.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tiezane:
When i hit the button to check for updates on my wife's Charge, our immediately tells me the system is up to date. I mean instantly, no delay, I'm not sure it's even checking. Does this just mean hers hadn't been queued for the download? Thinking of calling support and asking them to push it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
It likely has a preset timeout where it won't check again until x seconds/minutes/hours have passed. There are ways to force a recheck, but I don't know the app you have to wipe data on for it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Reilly1812:
Reviewed the update script. There is a delete instruction. Not sure why it failed for you. I'm holding off till next week due to travel.

[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
If there was an update to BitBop via the market, or it is installed anywhere besides /system/app/ it will likely still be there. You should be able to uninstall it though if it is there.

Just got off the line with tier 2, no way to push the update ahead of time. I did learn that the update is being pushed in batches of 1,000, and according to both Verizon and Samsung, although VZW gives the go ahead for the push, our comes from Samsung. This holds true with all of the mfgs, she said. Anyway, have to wait for her to get queued up and pushed. Well see if it fixes the call quality issues she has along with the data reliability.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Mando83:
Its on Roots under development under Imnuts kernel.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
You can get the update ahead of time, or at least force a re-check. Easiest way would be to download the zip, rename to update.zip and put it on the SDcard and flash via stock recovery.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tiezane:
Stupid n00b question time... the update.zip...Is that going to do a full wipe (like an HTC RUU) or is it truly just an update? Would prefer that we got have to start her phone over from scratch. How do you force the re-checK? VZW said it could take a week or more to see it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
You have to find the app that controls the update check and wipe data, then reboot. And running the update.zip in recovery won't wipe as it's the same update that comes out OTA. It's only 19MB or so, can't possibly be a full ROM ;) And they don't wipe data for people getting the update OTA.
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
thanks for the continued support/love - much appreciated.

when flashing this via recovery, do we select "apply update from sdcard" or "install zip from sdcard"? and when placing the file on the sdcard, should we place it in the root directory or any other particular folder (like downloads, /cache, /cache/recovery, etc.)?

thanks!
[Verizon Droid Charge] PaulN64007:
Root of sdcard and apply update from sdcard
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
thanks, but still aborted. i think shrike mentioned that you need to be stock before installing it.

if it helps, I get :assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/appATCommandFramework.odex", "....)

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

Installation aborted

so I guess I'll just sit tight and wait patiently for IMNUTS to work his magic again.
[Verizon Droid Charge] dwitherell:
You gotta be stock FP1 for this to work.
[Verizon Droid Charge] Tiezane:
One more stupid question, if I may? Her phone is stock, unrooted, "virgin" if you will. Will the update.zip method work still, or is that only if you have CWM or similar for recovery? Thanks for putting up with me!
[Verizon Droid Charge] jco23:
you can access the stock recovery the same way: volume up + home button + power button; release only power button when you see the samsung logo.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elucid:
Did the radio get updated with this update or just the kernel / system?
[Verizon Droid Charge] rice923:
Not much feedback out there as to what exactly got updated.

Personally, I don't want to take the update unless there's an improvement. Better safe than sorry.
[Verizon Droid Charge] elzeus:
I've updated the original post with a supposed real change log. Looks like a lot of radio / software updates that deal with signal issues & screetching.
[Verizon Droid Charge] rice923:
Thank for the compilation. I might make the jump for the update.

Just a few questions though:

1) Must I be unrooted and stock ROM in order for the update to go unhindered?

2) Are there any changes that negatively affect us (such as disabled tethering, etc.)?

Edit: Nvm, did some more reading and, yes, must be 100% stock to update. I might just wait it out until DW releases his FP5 update of Tweaked :)

Maybe a n00b question, but I thought we had to be on Tweaked 2.0 or 2.1 to take 2.2? At least that's what D-dub says in his post. I actually thought 2.2 was just some minor (pardon the pun) "tweaks" and just updated a previous version?????

Anyway, thanks for the notice Cuj :good:

Think I may try this while waiting for DW to play with Tweak (2.3*) next week.........
[Verizon Droid Charge] dSlice:
If you install the ROM of 2.2 you don't have to be on previous ones. I believe if you upgrade through Tweaktools it patches the next version in, so you'd have to be on the previous version to begin with. I'm sure Dwith can clarify that process more.

[Verizon Droid Charge] PaulN64007:
dwitherell and I were talking about this last night. He hasn't looked into it extensively but he said the system is reporting signal dbm as 0. He thinks the method used to report the signal strength has changed. So the fp1 system doesnt know what the fp5 modem is saying. That seems to be the only issue though with Tweaked 2.2 running with the new modem. Calls, text and data seem to work fine though.
