I really liked the new 4.2 update. :victory:

I have been using Viper (since 3.2??) for a good while now. For a brief moment, I was on stock and RageXL to compare roms. And now I am back to Viper and have noticed that my LTE (3G is good) reception is much lower than it used to be on stock and RageXL. In my office, I had full LTE bars with RageXL/Stock. I am at two LTE bars with Viper. Even at home, I only have a LTE single bar and sometimes lose signal all together.

I am unlocked, S-Off, Hboot 2.14, and a clean full install of 4.2. I haven't touched the radio.

Any ideas? I have wiped/flashed everything twice.

Cheers!

Try updating your firmware to 2.15, it will update the radio and you may get better results. You can find the info here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2423735

And if you're on 2.15 firmware already and on viper 4.2.0 go to tweaks/misc and toggle use att strength.

Home screen transition effects would be cool to have
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Pdj7969:
+1 on this suggestion. AT&T LTE has different signal noise limits than the stock signal bars and they display the signal strength as being higher as a result.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] 53l3c7a:
Ha! Indeed. I just switched it back after posting. Thanks.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
I actually saw that when you posted it and thought cool I'm gonna give that a go, but it did absolutely nothing for me lol. What kind of change did you experience?

EDIT: That technique seems to be for phones with Li-Ion batteries, where our phone has a Li-Po battery. I'm not sure how much the two technologies differ, but maybe that's why I saw no difference.

Is there anyway we can get the option to set the power saver to come on at a certain percentage like in JB? Kinda miss that feature.... =/
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
That could be because stock at&t ROMs generally show more bars than the actual signal you have. The bars can be misleading anyway, check your actual strength in Settings/About Phone/Network (where -51db is great signal and -110db is poor signal).

Hey folks. Loving this rom now I've got everything settled after moving to v4.x.

Just wondering if anyone else is getting the phone switching to 3g when making a phone call? FYI I'm on Telstra network in Australia, and running latest elemental 4.2.2 kernel.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Heisenberg:
If you're talking about the phone being on LTE and then switching to 3g during a call, that's normal. LTE isn't able to be active during a call.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nitens:
Ok sounds like it's normal then. A colleague at work and has a stock telstra un rooted one xl and his doesn't display the change down from lte to 3g.

Perhaps this switch just isn't displayed on the stock set up.

I've just done a complete clean installation of 4.2.0 after wiping everything, and then straight away tried to restore my SMS backup from within the messages app, and it just gives me the error "Unable to Restore Messages". I even tried to restore an old backup from a month or so back, and it still gave the same error.

It seems like there may be a problem with restoring data??? :confused:

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XNine:
I've never had an issue restoring app data rom TiBu. Restoring apps on the other hand, I've had a handfull of issues with various apps. So, I never do full app restore, just data. Works fine for me.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raymondn:
OK, so I've just done some more testing...

With just version 4.0.0, the SMS restore works perfectly.

With the OTA 4.1.0 applied it still works OK.

But if you apply EITHER the 4.2.0 OTA update OR the full 4.2.0 it blocks you from restoring SMS messages from the built in backup.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ImagioX1:
Im having a very strange problem that I haven't seen anyone report. Sorry for asking if its a known issue but Ive been keeping up with the viper thread and haven't seen anyone report this yet.

Anyway I did a full wipe from my rom with working lte and installed viperxl and chose att icons in the installer. After I had flashed the rom and booted up and all I was no longer get lte. I tried changing the network mode in settings/mobile data/network mode to lte but it would immediately switch back to gsm/wcdma auto by itself. So I went into the phone information menu via *#*#4636#*#* and tried to enable it in there but still got the same thing. Since I had no luck getting it enable no matter what I did I did a full wipe in twrp and restored my MagioROM backup that previously had working LTE. And now Im having the same issue on my rom. I can't enable LTE any more.

If anyone has a possible solution I would appreciate it. I dont know what more I can do short of ruu.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] raymondn:
Which program is that you're using? A built in app or downloaded from the play store?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] JeremyNSL:
Sorry to bring up the obvious, but have you tried a few different locations in your city/town? I can't really see how one ROM could mess up LTE to the point it won't work in another ROM after a full wipe. It seems like the options are:

a. your phone has a hardware issue (I hope not!)

b. some glitch in LTE with your carrier. Maybe localized, maybe not.

BTW LTE works fine in Viper 4.1 for me but I turn it off to save battery. HSPA is plenty fast...
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] ImagioX1:
Going to a different location is not the problem. It's that the setting will not stick. I mean it was working fine, then flashed venom and it stopped, then restored my backup where it was working fine and it still will not work. I always get lte at my house anyway. All of this was with a full wipe evertime. Btw I was on viper 4.2 and not 4.1

Just a suggestion but go to venom file manager go to the root directory and etc/hosts and delete the host file, reboot. Afterwards go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik. After the reboot, go into access points and if select carrier hasn't popped up then hit home and repeat going into access points untill it pops up.

I haven't reported this as an issue due to it happening only when I use this certain app (market unlock) on my phone which causes it to loose data in all.

Thank you so much dude that worked!

There is definitely an issue with the Rom though as that shouldn't be happening..... Im not using market unlocker and I did a clean flash plus wipe in the venom installer and lte wouldn't work.

I wouldn't say it's an issue with the ROM, but your particular install/phone. I haven't had any such issues as this, so, it's not the ROM and I did 4.2 OTA and then did a 4.2 Full install. No LTE issues.

Random reboots feat. failed factory reset

What a great work gets done here! My (stock branded) htc one xl worked like a charm with ViperXL 3.x and your current one looks fantastic!

But i have a problem with your current ViperXL version.

I experience 2-6 random reboots every day @ version 4.2.0.

I am using Vodafone HTC One XL, current TWRP version, ViperXL 4.2.0.

3 reinstalls per TWRP are done. If i tell the 4.0.0 installer to wipe data when installing, it stucks at 0.00% till i shut it off.

Installation and OTA-Updates without wiping worked.

What can i do? What were my mistakes?

Really hope this is not a noob posting :(

If we can solve this problem, i will try to give constructive feedback to the next versions :)

Edit 1

:

TWRP recovery factory reset and advanced reset now work perfectly. I changed nothing, just updated to current version 2 days ago - but it did not work after the update.

Edit 2

:

I advanced reset everything via TWRP recovery now. It worked. Now downloading the full install version of 4.2.0 and will test it.

I don't use any sweep actions as it's not my thing, but could it be that you need a kernel that supports sweep 2 wake and have it enabled in the kernel section of Venom Tweaks? Just a thought, as I don't really know for sure.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] nrap:
maybe its just a coincidence but since flashing to this my signal bars seem to be lower. much lower. usually only 1 bar.

BUT

i haven't seemed to drop any calls. and when i do a speed test at 1 bar im still transferring at nearly 30mbps.

could it just be a bug in the software showing less signal than i actually have?

or maybe i should update my radio?
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] weenrock:
Thanks Gents! This morning (while on 2.14) and my signal completely died. :( Once I got to work I flashed 2.15 and I am showing 3 bars now, better than 2 I had yesterday! :laugh: I also enabled the Att strength tweak.

On 2.14 I was showing RSRP(dBm): -98 ahd RSRQ(dB): -11

On 2.15 I am showing RSRP(dBm): -97 ahd RSRQ(dB): -7

I will check it when I get home to see if it improves.

Interesting. It looks as though it's just returned your battery usage to a more normal pattern. So I guess that's why I saw no difference, I suppose my battery drainage was already fairly normal. I think it's a great idea for people who may be experiencing unnecessary abnormal battery drainage.

No ideas left

Dear community,

i updated TWRP recovery to current version, wiped everything that was there successfully and installed the new ViperXL 4.2.0 full install package incl. wipe data without problems.

My HTC One XL still does random reboot itself 3 - 6 times a day.

I do not know what to do next. The only idea left is: Could it be triggered, because my hboot is too outdated? Is that possible?

Else i have to try going back to stock rom, but i read that this shall be harder than just flashing a new rom...

Anyone?:confused:

Thanks

At first was just wanting to ask thedailyl3af on why he said not to restore app data from tibu! Anyways, there ain't any problems with restoring app data from other Roms, was on an aosp ROM before I came back here and the backed up data from that aosp ROM works fine :thumbup::D

True you can restore the data but I've learned that any data from another rom restored with tibu will cause some undesired things to happen such as a random reboot or etc. Not always but enough too make me just start clean and just restore game data (slots, axis and allies, poker). Anything else can be signed in with and data restored that way.

I had issues with GSam when I restored app and data from TiBu when I first upgraded from 3.2.8 to 4.0. It was reporting usage of apps that were no longer installed on my phone (complete wipe at the time so there was nothing existing of that program). Also showed different usage than the included battery monitor claimed. I uninstalled the app and restored just the app from TiBu and the issue persisted so I uninstalled once again and reinstalled from Play and the issue was resolved. So yes, sometimes restoring from TiBu isn't the best option, but YMMV.

Sorry it happened to you. It was probley a freak accident. I'm not trying to steer people in the wrong direction just stating what I've done and never had an issue with it.

Using the Zoe Fix With Viper 4.X.X

[MENTION=4852379]ImagioX1[/MENTION]: Can you please confirm if the below statements are accurate for the Viper XL ROM

with stock kernel and 2.15 Firmware

?

If we flash the V3 Zoe fix we get from here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2436347

and install it on Viper 4.0.0 or 4.1.0 OTA or 4.2.0 OTA it will fix the Zoe issue, and the Camera Zoom feature will only work on Low Resolution or by using one of the Effects features on high or medium resolution.

However, the Zoe fix V3 will NOT restore Zoe to the full 4.2.0 ROM install.

I for one am a tad confused by all the variations of the questions for different install configurations of the Viper ROM, kernels, firmware, OTA vs. full install, etc.
