Apn settings have no bearing on call quality, that's all radio.

In all honesty, uclf5 sux, use either uclf6 or ucla3 with ril mod for ics/jb. U may also try ucle2 if those first two don't work
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] feelinfroggy23:
Okay. I will try it. And I can use mohans radios? And also I'm guessing those are old radios. Will they work with lte?

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] randomandroid:
Is it really necessary or can you use some cheap one?:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
No, you don't need "official Samsung." The main thing you want to make sure is that the charger conforms to the USB charging spec, or you won't get the full 1A of current that the device can use to charge/run.

I recently bought a "Samsung" charger on eBay for $0.99 and the cable was $0.39. Yes, with shipping. It looks just like the stock charger and it works fine for me. Took about a week coming from Hong Kong.

Edit -- seller was cellphonefever
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Neo3D:
Also, if the cable is really long, it will have higher impedance.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] jeffsf:
Charging current is, for all practical purposes DC, so complex impedance should have absolutely no impact. Copper wire is also a couple hundredths of an Ohm per foot, so the difference between a 3' cable and a 10' cable (if there were such a thing) is tenths of an Ohm so at 1 A charging current; the voltage loss is tenths of a Volt.

In layman's terms, that warning has basically no meaning for the lengths and gauges typically used for USB 2.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] awrnsmn:
The board or plastic piece in my sim card socket broke with one of the pins. Samsung declared it BER (beyond economical replacement) has anyone had this or had to replace the sim card holder? If so, were you successful?

Thanks in advance.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] blaine07:
I have been inside Gnex many times. I don't recall off my head how that specific piece attaches to board but...I would imagine it's do-able? On my GSM Gnex(first time I took it apart ---- GSM and LTE have differences) I tore the volume rocker button cable...LONG story short I had a local cell phone dr place solder a new volume cable on. I provided the part...The solder points were like tip of a needle sized, and somehow they did it.

TLDR; I am sure their is a way if your willing to do it. I had a place to order Sammy genuine OEM parts from relatively decently priced somewhere...

Good Luck!

EDIT: All that being said with fact that Sammy didn't see something wrong your naked eye does NOT?

Edit EDIT: Place I ordered parts from(http://cellphone-repair-shop.com) doesn't even show SIM card socket...(I had to replace the Charge port board on my LTE Gnex...So much cheaper/easier than warranty/waiting etc)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] awrnsmn:
I may be stuck selling it for parts. I can't find anyone who can replace it for a reasonable amount. Darn it. I guess I will do without my nexus and see what's google brings at the end of the month for the next nexus. Hopefully there will be one besides the LG model!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rhed:
I actually had one of my SIM pin connectors broken just two weeks ago. Damn SIM adapter got caught with it and it just folded up and broke. Luckily I had the luck to recover the broken part and had it soldered back at a Samsung Service Center. Cost me around $4.00 though, but definitely a steal compared to having to replace the board. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kawgirlval69:
i can fix them .... i have done quite a few for nexus and note owners on xda without a complaint.... havent vioded a warranty!! which means i promise you its as clean as the factory soldering job... message me if you need one fixed... thanks!
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wy2sl0:
I find often that people don't notice a difference in day to day activities using their tablet/phone or whatever even when using aggressive O/C's.

I noticed putting my 2500k up to 4.5ghz when doing encoding and such.

The O/C that puts the nexus at 2ghz and 700 gpu (which is a massive increase) - is it actually noticeable in day to day activities? (browsing etc.)

Just curious, since I have ordered a Nex 7 but I haven't received it yet (waiting for 32gb).
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] palmboy5:
Why are you comparing "day to day activities" on ARM to "encoding and such" on x86? How about compare "browsing etc" on both devices?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Harry GT-S5830:
Hmm... 2500k vs Tegra 3 SoC?
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MassStash:
Recently chatted with viperboy about him wanting, and eventually getting, the note 2. As you fellow LTEvo'ers can deduce, this means either dropping support of his amazing work with Viper4G due to selling LTEvo to afford the note 2 on a hard Workin college dood's salary, or simply continued development through a little of our help.

Basically, 30 x $10 = we keep viperboy's LTEvo in his hands still! Not only benefiting us followers, but also supporting the dood.

Just tryin to get a rally of support from everyone cuz I was bummed when I read he was trying to get the note2, assuming he'd be moving on past the LTEvo...

Don't forget about Vin too! Donate to him just because he's so awesome...

So, $5, $10, $20? Whatever you can afford will help keep these guy's around these parts at least a little longer, and personally I don't think $10 bucks is 1) unaffordable on anyone with a smartphones salary, and 2) that outrageous of a donation by any means.

P.S. If this isn't appropriate here by some XDA policy, ill make a page somewhere else.... But until then, let the donating begin!

Post a confirmation number, and be sure to put what you're donating for in the donation notes, I think that exists... Idk, I'm about to go donate to start things off!

We still got vin but yeah they deserve more donations
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Wow, just saw this. This was very very kind of you, sir! You guys are truely amazing! Just want to give everyone clear expectations... I am planning to get the Note 2 and sell my EVO, only because I can't afford to keep both. I kinda just like getting new phones but I do love my LTE. So selling my LTE allows me to keep living basically lol so long story short, I would spend $300 on the Note 2 and hope to get back close to $300 for my LTE. Weither I get $300 from selling the phone or donations, the numbers ate the bottom line.

If I do end up keeping the LTE, I would plan to still support it into JB. However, with Jan recently stepping down, it might take Vin and I some more time to get Tweaks working in JB as not everything is going to just port over. So please know that as well.

Either way this goes, I can't thank you all enough for the support you guys give us. I don't want anyone to see this as a plea for money or anything like that - its just simple math and I need to recoup my money in some way.

Again, thank you all for being a wonderful community and giving Vin and I the opportunity to share our work with you all. I would love to be able to continue working on this phone. Thanks again!

I haven't used the venom ROM for awhile, but in general I like this idea and like how straight viper was above. You and vin are good guys, thanks for all you do.

I have to run donations past the old ball and chain first, but something should be coming from me within the next pay period or so.

Glad to see Viperboy coming to the Note 2. Can't wait till next week.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] -viperboy-:
Just to update, thanks to all who donated recently. Between 4 people was $60, which is very nice. I really would like to keep the phone, so I'm getting rid of my old electronics as well to try and offset the cost. I didn't think I would get $300 from users, which that's ok :) still trying to make it work and keep the LTE.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] MassStash:
500+ users, thought we could get at least $300 for your and or vin! Tryin.... I'm sellin old tech to cover recent ram upgrade in laptop, and 64gb card that was on amazon deal of the day I couldn't pass up.... Bastids

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] diaforetikos:
Viper!! You guys are the reason I bought my LTEvo. I'm a little slim in the money department until about Friday, but if it means you doing what you do best, you best believe my hard earned cash will be a small contribution to what I call an awesome and mind blowing project.

In the end, my money will not be enough to say thank you for all your hard work you've done for this community of ours. So thank you.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1800yolk:
Howdy folks. Just got an Xperia Play in the mail today! My previous phone was a Dell Streak, and while I enjoyed it, this is a refreshing change so far.

Anyways, I was wondering if you'd like to help me pick out a ROM, or at least whether I should go with Gingerbread or ICS. Here are a few things that matter to me:

1. I'd like it to be stable. I tried out about a dozen Streak roms, and while it was fun, it seemed that having the latest and greatest wasn't always stable, and got frustrating at times. I definitely wouldn't mind sacrificing a few bells & whistles for added stability.

2. I'd like it to perform well. Being able to overclock it a tad would be nice, but I don't feel like I need to have the most l33t benchmarks on this forum either. Though, I'd be happy to sacrifice bells & whistles for great performance.

3. Battery Life. This probably has more to do with how much I overclock it, and which kernel I use, but I'd like the phone to be able to last a full day of heavy use. From reading reviews about the phone, it sounds like I probably won't have to worry about this at all, so this point might be moot.

4. Full gamepad functionality. After reading the forums all day, I got the impression that ICS didn't have full gamepad functionality. Maybe this point is moot too, but I honestly saw so many inexplicit posts on this subject that I couldn't say.

Anyways, I think that covers it. I made this post longer than it needed to be, but I like being explicit. Maybe I should just try out all the major roms myself, and write reviews about them in this fashion.

I'd love to hear what you guys think, THANK YOU!!

TL;DR aka too much jibber jabber:

I'm looking for a rom/kernel combo that is stable, performs well, and I don't mind it being a bit stripped down

If I had to choose now, it seems like the Gingerbread releases give you better stability and performance, and don't have limited functionality. So many roms!

PS> I have the R800a, and am not afraid to do nitty gritty things to install a new rom :)
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
My recommended Rom&Kernel combo is in my sig, with links even. Needs an unlocked bootloader for the kernel though
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1800yolk:
I like the way that looks, I'm giving it a shot!

I've completed the following steps:

1.Flash firmware 4.0.2.A.0.58 Enhanced via Flashtool.

2.Root the firmware via Flashtool.

3.Install CWM Recovery.

but when I get to step 4..

4.Reboot phone and press [vol+] on boot at the Sony Ericsson logo, when the notification LED turns Blue.

It doesn't boot into recovery mode. I've tried each volume key, the search key, and the back key and none of them are working.

Also, my phone doesn't even have a notification LED! It's a white R800a, so maybe that's why, not sure.

Anyways, thanks for the suggestion, and if anybody knows what i'm goofing up on i'd be happy to try some new things, Thanks!
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
You need a custom kernel, or ClockworkMod Recovery installed from the market, to boot into recovery. Did you make sure to install recovery first?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1800yolk:
ah there we go, thanks! I got clockworkmod installed, and installed NXT Light, and am now trying to install the lupus kernel. When I go to flash it in fastboot mode, I get the error "FAILED (remote: the device must be rooted first)".

This is a bit strange, because I've got superuser installed properly, and have had root access for everything else.

Thanks again,

Brian
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Like I said in my earlier post, you need an unlocked bootloader to install a custom kernel (btw if you want to say thanks, just click that "thanks" button :))

EDIT: http://unlock-bootloader.com/ is a good site to unlock the bootloader (for a price, since you have an R800a and can't unlock it via the official method). Though I hear he doesn't respond much, and it's easier to reach him on his Google Talk
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1800yolk:
Before I did any of this, I did *#*#SERVICE#*#* to check if my bootloader was unlocked, and it said something like "bootloader unlockable: yes" so i suppose that didn't necessarily mean that the bootloader is already unlocked. Now when I enter that code, it doesn't do anything in the new rom. I searched the forums for a while but couldn't find any solution to this.

Also, will do :)

Brian
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Oh, if you've got "bootloader unlockable: yes" then you should be able to use the official unlock service at http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/ if I'm not mistaken. Doing this will wipe all user data though, so beware! You also won't be able to use DRM dependent apps like that song search thing Sony Ericsson made. I had thought the R800i was the only version that could be officially unlocked, but you might be able to since your phone says it's unlockable
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1800yolk:
Haha if only i could click that thanks button all day! I'll give it a go in the morning, thanks man
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1800yolk:
Lupus is now installed! I think I'm pretty much all set! I've got the swing of this now, so I'll be back to try new ones in the future, but for now this rom looks swell.

The last thing I'm trying to do is change the governor on Lupus. Still searchin the forums for where to start on that

Thanks again!

[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] UnicronAlpha99:

Following along the same line...

How about this little number?:confused:

This pops up unexpectedly before and after I "rooted" mine.

VSNCP Error 5:P-GW Reject
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Nippero:
There is a stupid stupid bug with the Photon Q that causes this.

Dial ##DATA# on your phone, go to "Data Profile" and look at your username. It should be name@sprintpcs.com but instead theres an extra .com at the end.

Thats what causes the error (and also apparently stops you from receiving MMS). You have to contact Sprint customer service to get a special code to allow you to edit your username in the Data Profile. That fixed it for me.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] benofilis:
Throwing in my two cents:

This seems to fix the 8:P-GW Reject error but not the 5. FYI, if you call them and fix the extra ".com" keep all the information. Whenever you get a new profile (initiated by you or Sprint) the bad username in the the Profile will come back and have to fix it again.

Called sprint a couple times about this. They told me it was a hardware problem and the phone had to be replaced! I don't believe that for a second but couldn't get any real information out of them. Another rumor is it's caused by some problem connecting to 4g though that is also unconfirmed.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] SykkNyzz:
I'll stick with my Q lol. Until then I hope this phone can upgrade to Jelly within the rooted phone. Can't install moto updates as of right now. (Deodexd w/ TWRP);)
