[Motorola Droid Bionic] Gavo265:
Hey all, I just updated to the official ICS update and found that the LTE would not turn off, so I downloaded LTE On/Off to go to 3G to save battery. I got a spare battery, so I want to use 4G now, but when I try to get back on it (selecting LTE/CDMA/EvDo), I simply lose 3G. Is there any way to fix this up? I assume flashing back to stock would fix that, but I'd rather not do that unless I really needed to. Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Groid:
Are you sure you are in a 4g reception area? There isn't anything about toggling between 4g and 3g that would require flashing stock or an fdr, unless you are on a custom rom that has a problem with 4g.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Gavo265:
I'm not sure if it's officially on the list, but I used to get 4G when I toggled it on back in gingerbread. Over break I was in Northern Virginia, which definitely has 4G coverage. I guess I can try it again when I'm home, as that has 4G coverage. Plus, wouldn't turning the toggle to LTE/CDMA/EvDo give me 3G if I'm not in 4G territory?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Obsidian_soul:
Yes it would give you 3g when your not in the 4g area

Have you tried dialing *#*#4636#*#* and pressing send to get into the service menu. To change the settings.

[Motorola Droid Bionic] jetknife:
I've been having the same problem on my Bionic running IcarusHD, which I believe is based off of .247. I haven't had any luck using the Phone Information to toggle to LTE/CDMA/EvDo. It could be that we're not getting 3G on that setting because PRL is not being used. I had this problem back in the day on ICS ROMs before any leaks came out, and the only solution I could find was to do a factory data wipe, OR just reflash the ROM entirely. If you're on stock .246 I guess that would mean an FXZ.

Whatever you do, don't try to FXZ back to 5.9.902!!
[Vibrant General] WellTrainedVC:
I received a dysfunctional Vibrant last week. It was literally being tossed. I knowing that most phones I've had the pleasure of working with/on are very durable and extremely difficult to destroy minus dropping it off an highrise building and subsequently being ran over by an 18-Wheeler! And then some sometimes.

So I took this beautifully constructed beginning of an dynasty smartphone under my noob wing. I wrestled with what may be the main issues. I began by reading up on known issues, reading, then rereading how to disassemble the unit, and then getting my hands dirty.

Turns our that there were a mix of issues. Beginning with somebody taking the phone for a swim and ending with somebody else somehow starting the phone and bricking by haphazardly erasing info from the phone.

First things first: getting power to the phone. I took a page out of repairing a couple of laptops and smartphones with previous water damage. That is by disassembling the phone carefully, checking for the extent of the water damage, and carefully cleaning with a soft toothbrush, deionized water, lint free cloth and plenty of patience.

It took me a couple of attempts, but I finally got her up and running. Now I'm finishing the job by installing a stable & reliable ROM. Just wanted to share that somebody elses trash is another mans tool to learning and gaining more knowledge.

It may be two years old, but she still runs great. And it is an excellent introduction to Android for my mother.
[Vibrant General] mik0bil0g:
Very nice!
[Vibrant General] Dougfresh:
Great job man! Welcome to the Vibe community! Let us know if you need anything.:good:
[Vibrant General] iTz KeeFy:
You picked a good phone to save from death. I have had it since day one and she is still going strong. This is a great forum too, tons of people willing to help. I would recommend any froyo roms for stability, especially if your giving it to your mother.
[Vibrant General] gilroy_lh:
The phone is built with quality. Good job.

[AT&T LG Optimus G] Cat Rancher:
Hey all, this is my first android and I'm not the smartest sometimes. I tried restoring back to factory rom, and watched a bad how to vid. Basically i cleared data, system, cache and now realize i shouldn't have.

I'm not able to connect to the phone through usb. I have the drivers, but I can't see the phone.I can boot into cwm, and that is it. When i start it, it basically pulls up the LG screen, then a black screen.

I have a backup on cwm but get the md5 error.

Is it possible to put the sd card in my computer and download what i need straight to the card? Im also not sure what i need to download, if that does work.

Please let me know if there is any other info I can provide. Like i said im not the smartest sometimes, so dont be afraid to respond like im slow.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Zackhery:
Can you install the Rom "The base .5". I assume so if you can get to cwm. I had this problem when flashing this Rom The first time. It did the same thing with the LG logo then go black. If that happens just reboot to cwm(May take awhile) and reflash "the base" again. That should allow it to boot the phone fully so you can at least use it till you can get all the way back to stock. I hope this helps. I have to crash now tho. I'll check back in the morning to see how it's going.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
Are you trying to get back to factory settings or just get your phone running with the stock rom?

You should be able to just put the ROM on your sd card via computer if you have an SD card sleeve.

If you wiped your phone, it's my understanding that you're not supposed to when flashing the provided rom in development.

There's a posting in development, I believe, about restoring your phone to stock if you messed it up. LGNST or something.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Deaf Mute:
The recovery won't generate a md5 sum (known bug). You have to generate it yourself. Connect your phone to adb and go to #4 in the FAQ here.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2006946

Note that there is no way to tell of the backup is corrupt since you are generating a valid code regardless of integrity.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Cat Rancher:
I tried re-installing .4 base which is what I had originally used. It let me choose the apps to instal, and made it to the "X" screen, but appeared to be stuck in a boot loop. I am going to try and download and install .5 via the sd card and see if that works. I'm not sure if LGNPST will work since I can't see the phone via usb. I will download it and give it a try though.

I also saw the guide in the general Optimus G forums for unbricking it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2010624

Since i cant really connect via usb, ill probably have to use a different method. Im hoping the usb issue is due to the computer im using and the original computer i used to root and unlock will work.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
The method in that link is for phones that don't have official firmware to use with lgnspt. If you san get into download mode (power off phone ,connect usb,hold volume down and up plus power ) you should be able to lgnpst back to stock.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Cat Rancher:
Alright. I was able to get into download mode. I downloaded lgnpst. Do you have an idea where i would find the other necessary files? Again, total noob. Sorry for all the hand holding. You guys have been great!
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Deaf Mute:
You need to go to the IRC channel to grab the new version of lgnpst and the correct files.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] adfurgerson:
Did you get your phone straightened out?
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Cat Rancher:
I'm traveling for work and on a work computer, so the IRC channel is blocked. Of course. I'm heading home tomorrow so hopefully I can get everything back to normal when i get on my home computer. (not having a phone sucks)

Do you all think it would be worth putting the base .5 on my sd card and flashing that, or do you think that wouldnt work? .4 is on there now from my original flash, but that won't work. Just curious.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Murasakiii:
Well is your phone up and running?

I would think it wouldn't cause harm to try and flash .5 onto it, your phone shouldn't get bricked from it.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
i agree with Murasakiii

should be fine to run .5
[AT&T LG Optimus G] Cat Rancher:
Welp, I think i earned the title of first bricked phone. It was able to get into recovery and download mode a couple days ago, but now it wont charge it seems. So i cant get it into any mode to do anything. Ive had it on the charger, wall and usb for a couple hours and nothing is happening. I wonder if i can take it back to my att store and try get a replacement. It is within my 14 day window, and there are "hardware" warranties. I have a feeling they will ask what happened and while i may not initially divulge everything, i sadly cant lie. And since its all my fault, i may chalk it up to learning.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] DraginMagik:
i'd say the device started having issues with the USB. unable to see the device when plugged into the computer and the device won't take a charge. don't hear of too many authentic "bricking's" anymore...it can almost always be resurrected. but if the device won't take a charge your time to resolution is rather limited. good luck.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] whiteguypl:
Before you leave to go to the store hook it up to a set up jumper cables and then attach the other end to your car battery. Then just tell them when you tried to charge it that it started smoking and wont turn on any more.

The only lie you have to tell them is it happened on the stock charger.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] fps_pete:
Im on the same boat. Tried going back to stock for a warranty return, and i ended up bricking the phone. Im able to get it to download mode and was able to run the lg tool but it keeps failing on me. And when it does complete it still wont load. Im going to try to make my self a powerd usb cable too see if i can get it to work. Have like 2 or 3 days to try to figure it out. Or elese im out 550 bucks.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] whiteguypl:
Other option is just telling them you clicked install for the ota update it rebooted and never came back on. They just wipe them at the repair center anyway if they get them to boot up.
[AT&T LG Optimus G] dbgeek:
It took 12 hrs to get a clean download of the stock ROM (AT&T internet sucks in my area). The entire time the screen on my phone was on with the LG splash screen displayed. By the time I got the ROM ready for flash, the battery was dead. I was however able to plug in to the USB on my computer and get enough juice to get into download mode. Ran LGNPST (v2.2.3) and the stock ROM installed with no prob. You might try plugging it in then trying to get into download mode.

EDIT: now that I think about it. You need to have it plugged in to the USB before download mode anyway, so you won't be doing anything different than you already did.

[Nokia Lumia 920] tai4de2:
I'm using a Rogers 920 on T-Mobile. I live in an area where refarming is actively happening but not yet complete and I got curious to know whether my 920 is using T-Mobile's AWS or the refarmed PCS (1900MHz).

Here's how to find out.

First, make sure your phone is actually on 3G (might be labeled '4G' or 'H' or whatever depending on the customizations made for your particular variant). You do this just by looking in the system tray at the top of the screen (swipe down from the top of the screen to expose the tray if it's not visible).

Enter the field test app by dialing ##3282# in the phone dialer. Then select WCDMA. You will see a bunch of info -- if it's not populated then wait a few seconds for it to populate. The third line will say UARFCN and it's this value that tells us the frequency being used.

Match the UARFCN value with a cell in the 7th column ("Channel Number (UARFCN) DL") in the UMTS-FDD table in this Wikipedia article.

In my case I frequently see 2062 or 2087, which are AWS channels. I have occasionally seen 537, which is a PCS (1900MHz) channel.

I've done a bit of speed testing and it feels like the phone gets better speeds on AWS than on PCS. I might be imagining this though.

hey even I am waiting for the update it is really strange why Samsung keeps doing this there is not much difference apart for changing the wireless services

I would have expected the 3G one to be harder to push updates through because it's through wireless services.. :/

When is Samsung going to realize that no one living outside the USA is a real person? :p
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] samir_a:
Well I think the largest base of Note for Samsung is outside US so they very well know what they are doing
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] TheWerewolf:
You know - if I honestly thought you were being serious - I'd write a nice long explanation as to why a lot of companies just prefer to pretend the US doesn't exist.

For one thing: Americans tend to be 'trend' buyers. So they buy Apple products WAY out of proportion relative to the world. Macs, for example, are about 6.8% of the world market, but are over 15% of the US market. Stores like Best Buy carry Samsung (heck, they even have Samsung mini-stores in many outlets), but if you actually try to buy accessories for Samsung prods - you're screwed. Now, you want an iPhone case? No problem, two entire racks of those babies.

So, if you're Samsung - who do you invest in? The US, which is a large but almost antagonistic market - or *the rest of the world* who actually likes your products?

Meanwhile, up here in Canada, we get the worst of both worlds because we're too small a population, and too closely associated to the US.

Then again, the first Samsung permanent retail outlet in North America is here - in Vancouver - so I guess this is Samsung's way of saying 'Canada - we know you're not the US... :)" (Ok ok.. it's really because Samsung sells a much smaller range of products in Canada, so that makes us a good 'test case' to try out a retail store in NA)...

Personally, I'd rather have the ROM update. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] KoRoZIV:
Actually, is the same in Europe. You can get a lot of accessories for an icrap and close to nothing for most other brands. I guess the sellers have a bigger cut from the huge prices of apple products, and they are also counting on trends.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scm2710:
I've been having a lot of trouble lately with this issue and it's now really annoying...

Here's the thing:

So I turn on Google Play Music, start a song... No problems whatsoever

But then, I connect the Nexus 7 (Headphone jack) <--------> iHome speakers (line-in) with a typical auxiliary cable (actually I've used three different brands) and everything just f*&s up...

I mean...

1) The screen freezes for a few seconds

2) Touchscreen just goes CRAZY, when I press one "button" it senses another one... For example: I press NEXT and it "thinks" I pressed the MENU+GMAIL and then INBOX....when only have finely pressed a small portion of the screen. It drives me nuts.

The funny thing is.... IT SOLVES BY DISCONNECTING THE AUX CABLE!!

C'mon! It's not as it has the best speakers in the world, and I use it in my officenfor background music so I'd really like to figure it out.

Anyone else with this issue?

I'm rooted with stock Rom, and also installed the mod to remove the Wi-Fi notification.

I notice that sometimes I cannot increase the volume for games and movies via the volume rocker. It is also dimmed out in system sound settings. The slider is all the way to the left (muted).

Is this a bug? Anyone know how I can fix it? Thanks.

Try going into settings> volume> then adjust slider for music, video, games, other media. There are multiple sliders for volume here.

That is what I was saying, it is dimmed out (disabled). It cannot be moved. Only a reboot fixes it.

Can anyone recommend where to purchase the device for a Canadian? Really close to buying this despite all the negativity I seem to be seeing about windows 7 OS. Glad to see theres an XDA section for this phone though, brings hope! (however is it more aimed towards the arrive instead of the pro? I would assume a ROM for the arrive wont work for the Pro?)

Im currently thinking of getting it for 191+25 shipping +tax off ebay. Seems a bit steep for an older phone but if anyone has a better option I might have to do it.

Thanks

First, the Arrive and 7 Pro are the same phone, just one being CDMA (Arrive) and the other being GSM (7 Pro), though the battery door is slightly different. So, choose which one based on your network type.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Mweyand619:
Hi everyone I'n not technically new here, I have used this forum for anything android related from my first android phone, However I have never posted here so bare with me please if it is in the wrong section.

So my story is this, I have had another galaxy s3 before this one which i hard brick because a rom on another website was listed wrong and i installed the international version. After receive my new S3 from Verizon i learned very quickly that I couldn't live without root. So i followed the newest guide to rooting. After I followed the guide completely I ended up with a rooted phone that has No Lockscreen. What i mean by that is when i press the power button to turn the screen off and when it is turned back on it goes straight to the home screen. Even alternatives like (Holo locker and Go Locker) don't work. Also when the phone is factory rest it doesn't bring me to the welcome screen where I'm suppose to set up a new phone with my username and password. The final problem is that it is always in Factory Mode. I have followed guides that require you to run some SU terminal commands and they have not work. Everytime a boot my phone it is still in factory mode.

I have googled endlessly for a solution and found nothing. Can you please help me?
