[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] powerarmor:
5 days of testing, trying, crying - and still, my wifi is "rebooting" every few minutes, sometimes every few seconds.

Started from rooting phone and installing CM - no luck.

Found all the related threads in the web, changed the settings, used static IP - no luck

Tried the wifi fixing softwares, wifi keep alive softwares <- this seemed to help for a short time. Had my connection for about 10 minutes.

Changed routers, their intervals, different options - no luck.

Isn't there anybody that can just give a tip what to do next??!! Something with kernel/ drivers maybe? Or do I have to install a sattelite dish on my phone to make wifi work?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
It's just weird... I've seen several posts similar to yours, people beyond frustrated with wifi on their Q. I'm on my second Q (don't ask) and both have been stellar wifi performers. In fact, I sometimes have issues where it won't disconnect from my wifi on its own when leaving my house - but this isn't a good feature :p.

At any rate... I just wonder if some have hardware issues? If it's bad on the stock ROM, I'm not sure it's a software issue - although I spose it still could be.

Do you have any logs? I won't be able to interpret them very well, but if you are on CM there are folks around that are happy to oblige - dmesg and logcat are usually sufficient.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] powerarmor:
I am not sure if it is a hardware issue, but surely I'd like to know that. Wifi is one of the most used functions for me, and it's broken :crying:...

What is strange wifi works a bit better when the "keep wifi" app is running. It's not a significant change, but noticable.

I've done some logs using catlog and NetDropCapture for the dmesg - it just saves kernel logs connected with connectibity issues, tell me if it is enough.

Any help, tips, advices are welcome. Thanks.
[Motorola Droid 3] Joe_PDA:
I just received my XT883 (Chinese version) of the Droid 3 from an ebay seller in Hong Kong.

I am in USA.

I popped my T-Mobile USA sim card in but didn't get any network.

When I try to make a call, the phone dials and gives me a message welcome to Verizon, and they

will direct me to an operator to take a credit card for the phone charges.

Also weird is that there are Verizon logos on the front and back of this phone.

I didn't think they should be there since Verizon isn't in China.

When I remove the battery, the sticker inside says XT883.

The software details are as follows:

System version 5.6.890.XT862 Verizon.en.US

Android version 2.3.4

Baseband N_03.18.29P

Kernel version 2.6.35.7-g790a33c

w30471@il93Inxdroid42 #1

build number 5.5.1_84_D3G-55

Besides for all this, the phone seems to be loaded with Verizon bloatware.

I can use wifi, but not gprs.

To make matters more confusing, there was a T-mobile outage in my area that they said could last

up to 72 hours, and they were having all kinds of network and computer issues today. There is a small chance that

this might account for my inability to get phone signal. Bad timing.

What do you guys make of this?

Did they flash the phone with the wrong rom?
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
If it has Verizon logos on it and the system version has XT862 in it, its a regular US Droid 3. The XT862 can be unlocked for Tmobile but won't work without modification. I assume you knew that already and thats why you wanted to get a XT883.
[Motorola Droid 3] Joe_PDA:
Actually I had no idea it was a Verizon branded phone. The photo in the ebay ad and the ad itself didn't show or mention Verizon.

I assumed this was an XT883 Rom and radio that was fully unlocked for GSM and internet here in the USA. That's what the ad said.

Besides, this came from China, and the system sticker under the battery says it is an XT883. So how could it be a US 862?

Anyway, I am new to Android so can you give me some advise on how I can fix this-the easiest way?

Based on the details I listed, was it flashed wrong?

Thanks for your help.
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
Which keyboard does yours have?

This is the US Droid 3 XT862. Notice the orange symbol keys and the microphone key. Also notice the verizon logo, its possible the battery cover could have been swapped on yours, but the verizon logo on the front would only appear on a US model.

This is the XT883, notice the blue lettering on the symbols and the character key where the microphone is on the XT862. Also notice the lack of Verizon logo.

If you were sold an XT862 when the listing shows a XT883 in the title and images then I would contact the seller.
[Motorola Droid 3] Joe_PDA:
Hey Spunker,

Thanks for your quick reply.

I have the top one with orange lettering on the symbols.

They must have replaced the sticker on the inside of the unit

Stupid bastards-Vendor name is: cellphoneforever

Best to stay away from them.

Is there any easy way to change my unit to run on GSM?

Joe
[Motorola Droid 3] spunker88:
I'd say you definitely have the XT862, both software and hardware confirm it. As far as the sticker it may have been placed there by the seller? Ive never done it since Im on Verizon but there is a way to unlock the XT862 for At&t/Tmobile.

[Motorola Droid 3] MrObvious:
I've done it and it works good.
[Motorola Droid 3] Joe_PDA:
Guys thanks for your help. I really appreciate it.

This method requires I buy an unlock code, which may or may not work.

I'm not sure I want to invest more money this way. Also, the link for rooting

says that method no longer works.

This Ebay seller really ripped me off. In fact they are still running auctions for unlocked

XT883, but in looking at their feedback I now see they have ripped off over 1,000 people

in the past year. surprised Ebay allows this to happen.

Mr. O, how did you unlock your XT862?

Again thanks for the assistance.
[Motorola Droid 3] linuxgator:
I purchased an unlock code from unlock4moto.com for $6 and it worked perfectly.
[Motorola Droid 3] RoadToNever:
I payed some $5 for a unlock code fron cellunlockerpro. Worked perfectly.
[Motorola Droid 3] ZionCorps:
Hey. If you purchased it recently, it sounds like you're protected under your bidding rights, especially as the phone itself seems a bit fixed. ;] I haven't looked into the seller just yet, but throwing this up in the off chance this is read before I have the time to look at the bidding items.

How did you pay for the item? If you used PayPal, that makes it a bit easier. Just contact them/eBay, there should be a link or I can try and scrounge one up if you need it. I usually call PayPal directly if I have issues because they're super friendly and usually point you in the right direction.
[Motorola Droid 3] RWALEY:
Definitely something very deceptive going on if the internal label says XT883.

Something does not sound right if you placed your T-Mobile SIM in the phone and it did not ask you for unlock code. It may already be unlocked or it could be permanently SIM locked if someone else attempted to unlock it too many times.

They may have sold you some used or refurbished Verizon model and placed a counterfeit label on it.

I would definitely file with ebay against this seller and just get your money back.

If you really want to try and use this Verizon XT862, I would recommend the unlock procedure using the newer radio and build.prop in post #196 of the unlock thread.
[General Questions and Answers] brianjaydean:
Does the Siyah Kernel work with AOKP JB for the AT&T Skyrocket?

I tried flashing it to my device before but it hardbricked my phone.

It's fixed now, and so first I'll ask before flashing. Did I flash it wrong or is it plain

not compatible with the i727??

Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] promiseofcake:
It isn't compatible afaik. Also most would argue that you did not hard brick your phone if you were able to recover it.]

I have one x pro mtk6577 CPU phone and i can not root and can not change imei, i really need help, every mtk6577 phone has different root methods, but there must be a universal way to root them

I really need to root the phone and change imei
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
You may find help in rooting it. ( no universal method) you will not find any help on how to change the IMEI as this illegal in magnum places

Try superoneclick and unlock root.

As stated above changing the IMEI is illegal so no help from here
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adrian816:
Download the correct "su" binary for your handset, unzip the file, read the installer script and use the android debug bridge application (part of the software development kit, install the platform tools module) to root your device (connect your handset to a PC using a USB cable). Use the "adb shell" command and "mount -o rw,remount" to remount the system partition as read-write and push the su binary to the correct location. Install the busybox app and you should have a rooted device.

[HTC One S] Ek07:
Oh thanks a lot, so you think WiFi calling will be fix

?
[HTC One S] HidaKureku:
from what i've read, it's a work in progress. but as of right now it requires the sense framework and since no jellybean rom uses htc sense, it's still in the works

[HTC Rezound] mpguzman04:
I am on the Vigor 1.2 rom and continue to get the Facebook Authentication Failed notification nearly every time I reboot my phone. I was wondering whether the problem persisted throughout all the custom roms on the global ruu (4.03.605.20), on just the Vigor 1.2 build, or if there is a solution to the Authentication fail that I have yet to incorporate..? Thanks.
[HTC Rezound] Droid12User:
Used to get that too until I switched to a different ROM. Coincidentally, I also downloaded friendcaster instead of facebook, so not particularly sure which one did the trick.
[HTC Rezound] Kratz17:
Uninstall your current facebook and install this version

http://db.tt/iYOceCxN

DO NOT UPDATE on the playstore or you will end up with the authentication fail again.

That's how I fixed mine on every Rom.

Enjoy:cool:
[HTC Rezound] kzoodroid:
In stock ICS if you just go to apps and uninstall the Facebook update it returns you to version 1.8.3 which should fix the problem.
[HTC Rezound] Kratz17:
Well I'm not on stock ics
[HTC Rezound] yatman60:
I've noticed it seems to have something to do with the app from the marketplace. After updating my Rezound to ICS, I have ignored all the updates for Facebook and have not had any authentication problems since.

They made a big announcement a few days back saying they acknowledge their Android app sucks anyways so i'm gonna hold off on any further updates until they release an entirely new version.
[HTC Rezound] mpguzman04:
I believe their update as of 9/20/12 has fixed the authentication error. I downloaded last night, have restarted my phone a couple times and have yet to get an error. I also checked the latest update reviews and ppl with the rezound have also said the error seems to have disappeared.

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] stefankorun:
First of all I from what I saw so far that the forums for the Xperia devices are a bit messed imo. A flagship device out for 6+ months cannot have its own separate forums?

Also the S development section is pretty hard to navigate and find the right ROM to suit me. I will probably buy the device tomorrow and I was reading a lot in the dev section and I wasn't able to find a good Sony Stock based ROM with good explanation of functions and bugs, also AOKP and ParanoidAndroid are not having a quality port for this device. This matters to me a lot so it would be great if someone shares their experience with getting good custom ROM and kernels.

On a side note, how would you compare this to the HTC One S? The screen and usb otg are the main thing making me want the XS and the snapdragon s4 on the One S over the xperia's s3 is making me thing a bit.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] YousifNael:
The one S is faster cuz it has a slightly better processeor and a lower resolution, so the phone doesnt have to do much to operate it self

Xpeira S isnt that big with roms , there are alot of cool things around , aokp and cm10 are geowing , but not fast

If you want your phone for roms and development , buy a galaxy nexus

If no , dont choose one S , xperia S will get better

Hope i helped :)

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] niceashwin79:
No problem...!

This kind of things happen..I am not that expert but can advise on the basis of what i gained from xda website.

If you can go in recovery and download means not much serious thing.

FIRST TRY TO RESTORE YOUR SYSTEM FROM RECOVERY BY USING YOUR OLD BACKED UP .

if not then follow steps below:

1. I would recommend you to download fresh odin3V1.85

2. Download steady honeycomb version of your region from

3. From recovery clear delvic cache/factory reset/ and all stuff.

4. Enter download mode and do all the flashing once again. Make sure your power to usb post is ok. I have observed old laptops or pcs just disconnect for a second or so and again reconnect. If this happens while flashing then you come to this stage.

Hope it will solve your problem.

If not other experts are still out there on XDA developers website.......

Don;t panic.

Enjoy with XDA developer's website.

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lipi32:
Hi niceashwin79,

thank you very much for your short tutorial.

!NICE! Ashwin :D

But I already sent it to Samsungsupport. ( BTW. Couldnt wipe anyway, it always stucked, also tried to flash serial roms)

It was returned yesterday, with 3.2 Open Austria and AUT (Swizz) CSC.

So I flashed 4.0.4 Open Austria and became XEO CSC.

But the return to ATO (Austria, the right CSC) was with CSC Selecter for SG1 SG2 and Note from the Market quite easy.

The third party Samsung support company exchanged the motherboard.

However my UMTS/3G-module is not working anymore. I didnt test it with the 3.2, but I guess, it didnt work, too.

The Tab does not recognize the SIM, no message, nothing.

Besides that I have a full nandroidbackup of 4.0.4 with AUT CSC BEFORE the brick.

(Loading this backup after changing CSC from AUT to ATO probably bricked my Tab.

I would be very pleased and thankfull if anywone is able to help me,

thanks in advance

EDIT: I have a small update for you.

If you go to the tab "security" you can deactivate/change the SIM's password. Both actions register my device in the network. Every reboot is the same, so the problem is not fixed yet but kind of sloved.

Still looking for a perfect solution,

Hey guys,

I wanted to ask you if you know why there are so few custom firmwares for the villec2? If I look over in the Sensation section there are only villec2 based Roms, so why they arent availible for the villec2? I dont get it!

It seems that Im pretty much ****ed with my phone. No updates, no CFWs, no nothing.

Probably I should have bought the Sensation. Would have been cheaper and better for rooting.

Gesendet von meinem GT-N700 mit Tapatalk 2
[HTC One S] frdd:
The sensation has a big user base but no official sense 4 from HTC right? And the sensation is similar to the villec2 where it matters most for a "chef" I guess, eg same SOC, same resolution.

The c2 ville was released because the newer awesome krait S4 SOC was in low supply but by then many devs and users had already got the regular S4 ville so ville development is still focused on it.

Might change as more ppl get the c2, but chances are devs generally are more aware of the different versions and avoid buying the c2 for themselves.
[HTC One S] klin1344:
Why don't you try porting a sensation ROM? It shouldn't be too hard considerimg the hardware similarities. Heck, it might even work if you just flash one.

I really don't want to try them out on my phone. I don't want to brick it.

confirmed, every day, only (S4) posts updated with new rom updates. Some devs confirmed to look in to C2/S3 but .... i think they have no time.

If I root my S3 will I still be able to get the OTA updates? I rooted my Atrix and after that I couldn't get the OTA updates. Also what is the best ROM?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Aerowinder:
If you don't need a specific feature from the stock firmware (gestures, wifi calling, etc), just get CM or AOKP and save yourself a headache.

Best? As far as stock? I've read LI6 is decent.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] anaylor01:
Well with my Atrix when Android 3.0 came out I wasn't able to update it because I was rooted. So my question is when Jelly Bean comes out will I be able to update it to Jelly bean if I am rooted or have a custom rom installed?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] joshnichols189:
3.0 wasn't even for phones. If you install custom recovery you will not be able to receive an OTA until you flash the stock recovery. Just use a jellybean ROM.

How can this be true? This is what I did.

Restored a UVALEM nandroid (via CWM). It was the original firmware on the phone when I bought it (no custom install, but I rooted with the Sprint method a couple weeks prior), I just happened to keep this backup.

Reset factory defaults.

Nandroid again for clean UVALEM backup.

Use Software > About phone > Software update to get the UVALH2 update. It was ~90mb.

Phone rebooted after it was done.

Dropped into CWM to make another backup (CWM still here, was never removed).

Downloaded LI6 JB OTA from SamMobile. Installed that from CWM.

I have LI6, never removed CWM. And it is still there. Root should be, although I did not test to confirm.

If you can't receive OTAs with custom recovery/root, how did this work? Is it a feature that was not active in the UVALH2 build? What about the LI6 build I flashed from CWM?

[Samsung Infuse 4G] ALBGunner04:
I'm on CM10 8/31 and I've been noticing that my battery life has been really poor lately, so I wanted to find out what the problem was. I thought about draining my battery fully and then charging it again. Once I drained the battery, I charged it, and restarted the phone after the charging began. Once the phone booted, it reported a 50% or so charge. I'm wondering if my phone is stuck at reporting battery at half capacity, and that when it charges to 100%, it's actually 50%. Anything I can do?

EDIT: Also, I should note that the battery has sometimes spiked up/down by about 20% after a reboot (including today before the drain).
[Samsung Infuse 4G] adfurgerson:
This phone has a fuel gauge chip, fully discharging and recharging will not calibrate it. False readings after reboot are common, you may even notice it will climb back up as it begins to accurately reflect level.

There are apps to let you know what is causing drain. BetterBatteryStats and CPUSpy are recommended a lot.
