[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frozndevl:
Sorry to necro the thread... I was having issues where I would start off my day at work with 3g/HSPA, but then would drop down to Edge exclusively and would not scale up at all. This was probably because my edge signal strength was -53 and my 3g was -103. I went into phone stats and went from WCDMA preferred to WCDMA only and successfully forced it back to 3g/hspa. Not sure if this will hurt my battery life, but at least I have usable speeds again.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DroidMahn:
By all means, necro this. Its still an issue for many of us.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serious_Beans:
Still no fix for the crash? That sucks, I get crap service at work and I was hoping switching to 1900mhz would work.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NardVa:
Weird that it's not possible to force 1900 when the phone supports it.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Serious_Beans:
Its possible...it just crashes when trying....I'm almost done setting up my dev environment, going to build a ROM with the fix ;)

How do you know if youre on 1700/2100 or 1900?

I have no MENU option in 4636..
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] junks2010:
You won't know which frequency you are on unless you can go into the menu option and change to US band.

You can go into the men option by selecting Phone Information then hit the menu button (vertical three dots). The app will crash though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
try *#*#4636#*#* in the phones dialer. it shouldnt crash, you dont need an app for this.

edit.. serious beans already posted this :)

We might need a bounty for this...
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] clubtech:
On the nexus 7 (3G) (also penta band), that menu does not crash but it will NOT let you change regions, When you try you get an error message "command not sent to modem" so it seems that this is something that Google simply no longer uses. There is no guarantee that if you fix the menu crash on the N4 it will actually do anything.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NardVa:
Any updates?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cpxchewy:
I hope theres progress on this as well. Assuming it's just an arrayoutofbounds, My guess would be that they're using the Galaxy Nexus or somethings in the BAND_NAMES array and in actuality there are less options than selected? However I have a feeling this is just a front end and there are more implementation problems on hardware/software switchoffs.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bioyuki:
Apologies for the noob question, but shouldn't the N4 automatically start using the 1900mhz spectrum if it's refarmed and available?

Or do we need a baseband update so the N4 will include that spectrum in its search for a signal?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raydm:
any update?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lowrider262:
I was wondering the same thing, say if you're in an area that has both 1900 & 2100 bands, which one would it automatically default to?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MooneyDriver:
Any fixes for the select frequency band crash?

I read this thread and a bunch of others, I have yet to find an answer to this. I created my own thread specific to this problem http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=39105486
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kewlguy:
Is there any third party app which can display what frequency are you locked onto? There is a menu in samsung phone *#0011# which pertains to only samsung phones though. You cannot see the freq in the nexus 4 menu plus changing bands crashes the app.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Snorbro:
I was wondering the same thing since my area supposedly has the tmobile frequence refarmed but I cannot verify if I'm using the new bands or not. Even if we can't change it, it would still be great to at least view the frequency we're on. Radio information seems pretty basic to be obscured from the users.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpookyTunes:
I think the band selection menu is fixed in CM nightlies. FWIW PCS is HSPA+21, while AWS is mostly (DC) HSPA+42.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ziddey:
Hmm it doesn't force close but seems to not do anything still.

Maintains aws lte no matter what setting I choose.
[General Questions and Answers] rlg5150:
So I decided to root my Milestone X2 from Bluegrass Cellular. However, after several hours of searching it appears I'm not able to do anything as far as creating a backup for installing ROMs. On top of that, I don't think there are even any custom ROMs for my phone. All my preliminary research about rooting that led me to pulling the trigger was conducted under the assumption that the Milestone X2 was just the Bluegrass generic name for Droid X2. I now realize this isn't the case.

So my question is, what can I do with my rooted phone now? I was all excited about trying custom ROMs, but I think the only benefit I can get from rooting with my phone is free tethering? If someone could please provide some insight, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Whats the fastest way to kill your battery life?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] RushAOZ:
Set CPU governor to performance. Turn on all your radios and set brightness to 100%. Stream high def YouTube videos over 4g network. Use YouTube modded HD apk for faster battery rapeage.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thatdude02:
High brightness, turn up min cpu clock, run apps that are hd and consume data (maybe a few at once)

Can I just ask why? Are you trying to benchmark ROMs or something (curious :P)

Hi Everyone

I have decided to use XDA to post and monitor feedback on an app that I worked on for the past 3 month. I hope it makes it easier and faster for communicating with users and push out updates faster. But before I start, are there any guidelines, Todos, not todos, etc that I need to follow? Are there any recommendations anyone would suggest before I start?

Thanks in advance

[Microsoft Surface] Montastic:
Alright, so this use is very specific and I'd be surprised if there is an app that could do what I need but I'm going to try anyway.

I have a RSS feed where each new article has a PDF attachment - in fact, the RSS feed is to get this particular periodical which is released in the PDF format.

I've tried a couple of RSS readers and they sync the new post but not the PDF file. I want to be able to download PDF files from the reader and either read it in the reader or open it using another PDF reader.

Are there any RSS readers which can download attachments?
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
I don't know about Metro-style apps, but the built in RSS feature of IE can do file download links. It's not the best of interfaces (by a considerable margin), though. Outlook's reader may suit you better except it's not available for RT.
[Microsoft Surface] Montastic:
I didn't know that IE had an RSS feature. I'll check that out. Thanks!
[Microsoft Surface] Montastic:
Thanks! This worked out fine. I was able to subscribe to the RSS feed and select "Download attached files" in the options. This worked perfectly for me.

The non-touchiness (did I just make up a word?) is an issue but once I had the setup, I don't ever need to look at the feed itself. I can just look at the folder where files are downloaded and other stuff happens in the background.

Thanks again!

One more question though - is there a way to specify the location of the downloaded attachments in IE? By default, it stores attachments in /temp/Internet/ ... blah. I was able to pin this folder to the start menu for easy access but it would be nice to tell IE where to store the attachments.

Any help here would be appreciated.
[Microsoft Surface] GoodDayToDie:
You're welcome! I'm glad that worked out for you. Yeah, IE has actually had an RSS/ATOM feed reader since version 7, but it's gotten more and more hidden with each release (back in IE7, you could select options like having it play a sound when a feed was discovered, for example). IE10 has improved the reader a bit, but it's still kind of hidden.

I didn't find a way to specify where to deliver the downloaded files, sadly. The best option I know of is to use a directory symbolic link so that when IE thinks it's writing to the temp folder, it's actually writing to a more accessible location that you selected. However, setting up one of these requires using an admin command line, and carries some risk of messing things up. If you would like to do so anyhow, specify the full paths to your temp folder (where the downloads are going now) and the folder you want to put them in instead, and I'll give you a simple script to make it happen if possible, or at least tell you what you would need to do.
[Microsoft Surface] Montastic:
Thanks for the offer! Let me dig around a little bit more and if all else fails, I'll come back to you :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] locker1234567:
I have a bizarre problem. I was on aokp jb 3.1.2 and i decided to flash omega 16. In aroma i was about halfway through when my phone shut off. (it wasnt the battery, it was almost full when i started) now when i try to boot the phone all it does is boot straight to recovery. I can move up and down with the volume keys but i cant select anything with my power button. I can get into download mode but odin doesnt recognize my phone. I know its not my drivers since odin detected my friends i777 just fine. My phone only boots cwm and download mode. Is my phone bricked and if not how do i fix it? Thanks. And i apologize if i am in the wrong forum.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] RootTheMachine:
Nope, as long as the phone turns on, you shouldn't need to use the word "brick." It is a connection issue; try a different port, making sure you don't have Heimdall drivers installed on it. I suggest playing with the connection until it shows up.

Dear Fellow Experts,

I am near about to die... seeking advice

I owned a SGSII bellow is config

Its already rooted.ANd I dont know who / how root this set . Also I have format Strogae/Sd card. nothing this there

. And I would like to,update it to ICS official release - which i download for sammobile.com .

last night I tried to update it via odin

i follow all the procedure - Enable USB debug mode -> Reboot in Download mode -> connected to odin -> yellow color shown- >

bellow happend

2 times I tried - and filed . finally I did a factory reset - I have searched a lot- read thorw a lot- couldnt gater that courage to follow that all those procedure...

Note : Kies also saying - this device cant be update via kies- since its rooted and super user apps is there

Some one wise - pls advice what to do and how to do? or where to find a solution.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krayndr:
You know you're not suppose to have Kies on your computer while using Odin to flash? :D
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xDa_nightfury:
He is right.. Kill all kies processes before you connect your mobile to pc for using odin
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nneel:
Hello

That PC dont have Kies - but have USB driver downloaded from sammobile.

what to do now?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -iNCEPTiON-:
First of all , you have to do a factory reset and dont choose USB Debugging (It doesn't matter)

after you have done factory reset (Erase USB Storage too) , You Need To Power Off Your Device then you need to put your phone in Download Mode (Power + Home + Volume Down) , you will get a Yellow Warning , You need to press Volume Up key, then you are in download mode, now you have to make sure that Kies is not running on your PC and then run ODIN (Run As Administrator), after running ODIN, you need to connect your phone via USB .. Odin Will say Added!

After that you have to just choose the .zip file (Downloaded from Sammobile) on PDA and then just click start (Make sure re-partition is not checked, it should be un-ticked)..

and just wait and have patience :) your phone will be rebooted once its done :)

Hope it helps :)

Hi Folks!

I'm from brazil, and currently using the Provider VIVO.

Some days ago, my DATA ( 3G ), doesn't connect anymore. I checked the config's and it's allright. I don't know how i fix these.

I already tried to change the ROM from GB CM7.2 to the new V28g ICS ( tonyp and Harsh version... ), but still doesn't seems to have 3G connection...

Wi-fi is fully working. I tried to check the APN settings, but seems okay...

Anybody knows how do i fix this problem?
[LG Optimus 2x] felipegoffi:
Updated to V28g Baseband, but data connection still doesn't work...
[HTC EVO 3D] KEVIN88GT:
Background:

Hboot 1.58

S-off

Cool ICS rom flashed.

Question: I finally found a ROM that I like and have customized it with he programs and settings i usually use. If i do "backup" (from the "backup and restore" option within the 4ext recovery) what exactly will it back up? If my phone crashes will I be able to recover from this saved file and have the phone EXACTLY as is? (Anotherwords, all settings, apps, texts, call history etc will be restored?)

That is what I'm looking for. Hopefully this will do this.

Thank you in advance.
[HTC EVO 3D] flashallthetime:
Yes, nandroid does a complete backup of everything

(Don't ask me for help as I couldn't care if your phone explodes, eh! :D)
[HTC EVO 3D] KEVIN88GT:
Any idea why this would happen?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
What ROM are you backing up? The reason I'm asking is because I might have seen that backing up a specific ROM before.

Go to the 4EXT tools menu after the error occurs and select "copy recovery.log to SD card" then retrieve the recovery.log file from the /sdcard/4ext directory and post it here as an attachment and we may be able to tell you more.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] KEVIN88GT:
ramjet, sorry it took me a while to reply (i was away on vacation)

so i decided to do another backup (not advanced just regular to save all my info (sms, system settings, everything) since I had installed other apps since my initial post)

and appears that the problem fixed itself :) No error messages

Attached is the copy of the latest log (blow) so now if I crash in the future i'll get the phone exactly as it as of today....right?
[HTC EVO 3D] KEVIN88GT:
minor issue after backup: a few apps , such as the XDA app have become Android icons and when clicked say "The linked program is no longer installed on your phone" any idea why this happened?

Ahh i had the phone plugged in as USB device..once unplugged issue is resolved.
[HTC EVO 3D] A.Priori:
anyone know if its possible to erase old backups via the gui?
[HTC EVO 3D] ramjet73:
Yes, it is. Just go to "Recovery/Manage your backups" then press on the name of the backup and the delete option should be there. You can also rename or restore them that way.

ramjet73
[HTC EVO 3D] mcerk02:
YES, If you do a nandroid back-up, when you restore it your phone will be EXACTLY like it was at the time of the back-up, I do it all the time trying new roms and such....if I dont like the rom, I simply restore and it was like nothing was ever changed...
[HTC EVO 3D] cytherian:
About backups made using 4EXT Recovery

I discovered that when you make a backup using 4EXT, that it puts the files in a sub folder on the SD card in "ClockworkMod" (interesting, eh--thought it would be "4ext"). So let's just say for argument's sake that you've replaced the bootloader and lost 4EXT Recovery. All you have is ClockworkMod recovery. Can CWM use that backup to restore your system?
[HTC EVO 3D] Saneless One:
Same thing happens if you have moved apps to SD and don't back up the secure android SD folder or don't restore it.

hello, i looked all around but cant find answer for my issue. I just got this samsung s2 from my friend and it is already rooted with darkside rom on it. I downloaded rom manager premium to install new roms but every option i use keep giving me errors.

Tapped Flash ClockworkMod Recovery>Clicked on Tmobile S2> gives this error "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

Tapped Reboot into Recovery>Nothing Happens

Downloaded the stable release CyanogenMod 10.0.0> It downloaded gave me options for wipe data which i clicked ok but after that nothing happens also tried going into SD and installing it but no luck.

Tapped Fix Permissions...> "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

Tapped All clockworkMod recoveries> Tried all 5.0.2.6, 5.0.2.7 and 6.0.1.4> gives error "An error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands!"

So I went to clockwork recovery that i have on my phone, installed the rom from SD (which went pretty quick o_O) and now im stuck at this CM boot animation which looks like this youtube/watch?v=lV8yJFxX3B4

So now i just went back to my old darkside :/
